Gas Fired Nailer - cordless nailer, finish nailer

I own 2 of the Paslode finish nailers, a straight and an angled nailer. Both have worked extremely well and are extremely reliable and consistant. It is lightweight enough to use overhead without difficulty, as I did nailing crown-molding, and powerful enough to drive into solid oak when woodworking.

I did have some difficulty with the Paslode brand finish nails in that they are fairly soft and can deflect off dense surfaces like OSB. I ran into this problem when installing an oak hardwood floor, as when you run out of room for the floor stapler up against a wall you have to use finish nails. The nails would sometimes go through the oak tongue, bounce off the floor and back up through the face of the oak. Decreasing the angle of penetration was enough to cure this. Paslode 902000 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer

This is an excellent product which has already made my life easier (putting up siding); it makes project assembly far faster, more accurate and most importantly more fun. The technology is significant and futuristic in that such a small fuel container can fire so many nails with such force. One should be aware that the device is loud and emits exhaust from the spent fuel with every shot - which is to be expected and has to be taken into consideration with indoor use (need good ventilation). But its performance outweighs all this in my view, along with amazing portability even compared with the CO2 driven devices.

I don't own one of these but I've had several occasions to rent one and use it for finishing up the trim in my house after putting down new flooring. I have no complaints and only glowing recommendations for this tool.

I hate power tools I have to plug in and this tool was so convenient because it had no cord and isn't pneumatic. Many people complain that you have to purchase additional gas cannisters for the Paslode nailers but I think that's a minor inconvenience because it drives the nails to the right depth all the time and I never encountered one jam all the times I've used it.

I plan on purchasing one used when the price comes down a bit. I may get lucky or hopefully they'll come out with a newer model and the old ones will be discounted. If they do, I'll snatch one up because I can find many uses for it.

Nothing but impressed with this nailer. Have not had any problems with this unit at all, having shot many 2 inch nails. The air compressor gets to rest finally, thank goodness. No more lugging it up stairs or in the truck either. The exhaust smell reminds me of firecrackers of bygone years but is not a problem. It should be noted that I also bought the 18 guage after shooting the 16 guage for a few months. It's more convenient and quicker not having to lug the compressor and hose around. No problems sinking nails, just push the tip all the way down on the surface to be nailed.

I love the Paslode cordless products. I've been using a cordless framer for over a year with no problems. I used the finish nailer years ago working as a finish carpenter, and loved it then. Now that I'm on my own working as a Cabinetmaker, I love not having a compressor and hose to deal with...just grab and go--in the shop or in the field. Get yourself one of these!

THIS NAILER IS FANTASTIC! JUST CHARGE UP YOUR BATTERY (TAKES ABOUT 2 HOURS FOR FULL CHARGE) AND PLUG IN A FUEL CELL AND SOME 16 GA NAILS AND YOUR GOOD TO GO. BATTERY WILL LAST FOR 4000 NAILS AND FUEL CELL LASTS FOR ABOUT 1200 NAILS. COMES WITH NICE CASE AND BATTERY CHARGER, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR FUELS CELLS AND NAILS SEPARATELY. WHOEVER DESIGNED THIS TOOL IS A GENIUS. THE DEWALT NAILER WITH 18 VOLT BATTERY WEIGHS JUST OVER 8 LB., BUT THIS PASLODE WITH A 6 VOLT BATTERY AND FUEL CELL WEIGHS JUST OVER 4 LBS. GET ONE AND YOU'LL BE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO NAIL!!

.

My husband uses this item and said the following about it:

"This is truly the very best cordless nail gun on the market today. It's perfect for either the professional carpenter or for the weekend DIY woodworking enthusiast. It weighs under 5 pounds when fully loaded with the battery, fuel cell, and the nails. It is easy to operate and it is rare that it jams, and if it does, it clears easily. I highly recommend this item and now that I've found the Paslode line, I know I'll be picking up a few more to add to my arsenal."

This nailer is easy to maintain and operate.

It saves so much time working on projects that would be near impossible to do with a hammer. I've used this to install complex wall and ceiling trim, wainscoting and just general use. Excellent product. - Tools - Finish Nailer - Cordless Nailer - Gas Fired Nailer'

Unlocked Cell Phones - cell phones, razr v3

Visit Store Now !!

I bought two of these cells to replace T-Mobile's Shadow phone, which while it had great options, ate batteries to the point that we never used them. The Motorola set up for us with no problems. We inserted our sim cards and we were good to go. We've had the phones for about 3 months now and have had no problems. A charged battery lasts sometimes up to 4 days. Texting is easy and the screen and keypad work well for people who need glasses. It goes online easily and quickly and games download with no problems. Maybe we've been lucky, but so far this phone has out performed the Shadow hands down! Motorola RAZR V3 Unlocked Phone with Camera, and Video Player--International Version with No Warranty (Gun Metal Gray)

The phone was brand new so no problems there, but because the phone was designed for another network, I keep getting error text messages every time I drive by one of their towers. A non-issue if you have unlimited text.

I have owned this phone for a couple years and other than having to replace the battery, it has been perfect. The phone is easy to use and small enough to fit in your pocket but not so small that you cannot see the buttons clearly. If you are just looking for a phone, this is a great one to have.

I have just purchased another one off Amazon as I have given my first Razr to my girlfriend (and I did put a new battery in it for her).

I ordered this phone to use abroad, since it was advertised as unlocked. However, it was not unlocked and the manufacturer could not unlock it! They've offered to exchange the phone, however they don't ship to Europe. Since that is where I am and where I need the phone, I'm stuck with having shelled out nearly $100 (counting shipping) for a useless phone. Very disappointing and frustrating.

I bought this phone and only used it for about two weeks when the screen went white. The phone rings but you still can't use the screen. As this phone did not have a warranty I now have to buy another phone or pay to have it fixed.

wont ever buy electronic this way (purchased directly through Amazon, not a reseller). phone did arrive on time, but has started falling apart within a month.

It came without warranty, so there is no recourse.

I have no interest in doing business again with crooks. - Cell Phones - Video Games - Razr V3 - Unlocked Cell Phones'

Blackberry Storm 9530 - unlocked blackberry storm, blackberry storm

Visit Store Now !!

I had a Blackeberry 8330 with Alltel, when Alltel in AZ was bought by AT&T I left Alltel and went with Verizon, bought the Palm Pixi Plus.

I went with Palm because they have an outstanding WebOS.

The Palm Pixi Plus is cumbersome, when my husband dropped his Palm 6 inches onto carpet and the screen spidered we went ISO a new Blackberry 8330. He liked his Blackberry when he had it and wanted to go back with it. He wasn't fond of the new Curve, the swipe square, he didn't like it.

After he purchased his Blackberry 8330 on Amazon, I decided to do so a few days later.

This is a great phone. It fits my hand, I can text, email, tweet, with ease. The camera is decent. The memory is low but it will fit a 16g miniSD. The accessories available are great.

Blackberry is working on their OS, it'll never be Palm's WebOS, but it's getting better.

Blackberry has a great desktop manager, I like the ease of transfering files.

Overall, great phone. Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330 Cell Phone Pink (Refurbished) with 30 Day Warranty

I'm so disappointed in that I wasn't able to reach the seller within my 30 days. I actually contacted the wrong Seller trying to return the phone. And at this point I'm past the 30 day warranty. The phone isn't charging at all. I took it to Verizon and they tested it and found that the battery is fine but the phone is draining it fast and doesn't charge it. I'm charging the battery in an old Blackberry Curve. I have since put a claim in with the insurance company to replace the old phone. Which is what I should have done instead of buying this one online. I would love to get a refund, but couldn't find the information on how to return the phone.

I've had the phone for about 3-4 months and i love it easy to navigate, the pink is a really light pink but still very nice looking. Only problem is now my charger has to sit a certain way in order for the phone to charge (which i heard might be a blackberry defect) and i believe the battery needs to be replaced soon anyways because sometimes the phone freezes or will stop playing my ringtones so i miss calls and texts, HOWEVER that's only on occasion it's not like i'm having to do that all the time but i love this phone definitely glad to be apart of the blackberry family...lol

loved this phone for about a week until it also stopped charging. Looks like other users are saying the same thing so I would probably think twice about ordering from them. Shipping my phone back and waiting on a new one now.

I ordered this phone on may 5th ..... i waited .. I checked everyday i was soo excited that i was recieving this phone .. Nd today i came to check nd i did some research and found out it does not work with any sim cards all it has is a memory chip slot .. it sucks .. now i am getting a phone that cant be sent back i dont know what im gonna do with it !! I really wanted this blackberry to have a sim card slot ... i have learned a lesson NEVER ORDER BLACKBERRY VERIZON PHONES EVERYYY !!.... Urggg

I bought this pink blackberry hoping to have a temporary phone until I was due for an upgrade. When I got the phone, it had no place for a sim card. My other blackberries have all had places for sim cards, and I don't know why this one doesn't. All it has is a slot for a memory card. Plus, the battery that came with the phone was all beat up, and it looked like a dog had chewed on it. The strip to indicate water damage was completely red, proving that the battery had practically been underwater at one point. I was not happy with it, and sent it all back.

I am enjoying my blackberry and its functions; however, the battery that was included has been wet (the battery bar was solid pink). I understand that the phone can still work with this being the case; however, I am disappointed that this battery was included in my purchase.

The phone and the charger worked great for about a month, until one day my phone decided not to charge. I took it to the Verizon store and, after running some tests, they determined that the charging port stopped working. Am mailing it back to Amazon for a refund.

Too bad, because the phone was great while it lasted...

I spent almost two hours on the phone with Verizon AND Blackberry and neither were able to reverese the settings previously put on the blackberry I received "new" from OEM. I am unable to 1) make or receive calls (only texting works) 2) I am unable to set up any personal e-mail accounts and 3) there was not even an icon for the internet and neither company was able to make one appear, therefore, no access to the internet at all. All issues which completely defeat the purpose of having a smart phone. I am returning this product today.

I really looked forward to getting and using this phone.One of the reasons I purchased it,was,that I wanted to stay with my current carrier (BOOST),but when I received my long awaited cell,I had nothing but trouble registering it,I came to find out that,since it was a Verizon phone I was unable to turn it on.It was advertised as a ''BOOST''phone,which it wasn't at all.Needless to say,it went back.It was a waste of my time. - Unlocked Blackberry Storm - Blackberry Storm - Blackberry Storm 9530'

Usb Wireless Adapter - usb wireless adapter, wireless n

Visit Store Now !!

I own a computer that utilizes Windows Vista (64 bit) and was not having success installing wireless adapters from two reputable companies. At this point I was ready to cut open walls and run the ethernet cable to my computer. I mentioned the problem to my computer geek cousin and he told me to purchase a medialink wireless adapter as it supports Windows Vista 32 and 64. So I googled the wireless adapter and found that Amazon carried it. So I went to Amazon.com and there it was in the medialink adapter's product information, compatible with Vista 32 and 64. At $29.99 ( $10.00 cheaper then the previous two adapters), I thought it was worth the risk. I recieved it two days later and proceeded to install the medialink wireless G USB adapter and again no success. At this point I'm ready to punch a hole in the wall out of frustration. I finally decided to contact Mediabridge to convey my dissatisfaction. The phone was picked up after one ring and a customer service person rerouted me to technical support. Technical support picked up after one ring and I'm thinking to myself, this is amazing, no machine telling me to push buttons. After running several test on my computer with technical support, I still was not wireless. The tech support person, who was professional and knowledgable, recommended trying their wireless-N USB adapter. He said Mediabridge will ship it out right away at no cost. I received the wireless-N adapter the following day (again,amazing). I install it and within five minutes I was wireless. The installation was a snap. I'm on the internet several hours a day and I haven't had any problems at all. I forget sometimes that I'm wireless. At the price Mediabridge is charging for their wireless adapters, this is a steal. Kudos to Mediabridge for backing their products and lowering my blood pressure. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a quality wireless adapter at a great price. Medialink - Wireless N USB Adapter - 802.11n - 150Mbps - 2.4ghz - Windows 2000 / XP / Vista 64-Bit /128-Bit Windows 7 Compatible

I purchased this adapter with high hopes that it would somehow magically work with my Western Digital WD TV Live, despite my knowing that it was an unrealistic expectation since the dongle comes with it's own drivers. At best, I was expecting to have to run some home-brewed firmware on the WD TV in order to get this to work.

Lo and behold, I plugged it in and it was recognized within seconds. In under a minute, the box was connected to my network and I was streaming YouTube video to my upstairs bedroom. I was absolutely amazed.

This dongle is not yet listed on WD TV Live's supported device list, and I've found no previous posts or reviews confirming this compatibility. Hope this helps those looking at this for the same reason that I was.

I recently added Mac OS X to my Windows Dell Mini 9. I had replaced the WiFi card in the Mini with an Intel 5300 which is great, but there's no Mac OS support. So I was on the lookout for an inexpensive USB adapter that supported OS X and Windows - if it was wireless N also, that would be a bonus. A couple of weeks ago when I started this search, I came up empty, but this time I found the Medialink adapter, which claimed to support Windows, OS X and Linux. I decided to give it a try.

When I received it I was upset to see that the packaging claimed support for Windows only, and the Medialink web site has only Windows drivers. But the instruction leaflet says that OS X and Linux drivers are on the CD and sure enough, they are.

Medialink claims that this is one of the smallest Wireless N USB adapters and I believe them - it's half the size of an Actiontec adapter I recently reviewed.

I first tried it under Windows 7. The driver installed nicely and the adapter worked, though I found the configuration utility confusing and could not figure out how to use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS). I did manage to create a profile typing the WPA2 key by hand and that worked. The signal strength was somewhat lower than the Intel card (with its three antennae in the netbook lid), which was understandable. Speed was excellent, though. Note that this is a 2.4GHz only adapter - 5GHz is not supported.

I then tried OS X. The CD contains drivers for several earlier versions of OS X, but not 10.6 (Snow Leopard). I tried the 10.5 driver and the installation appeared to hang after a while. However, when I rebooted and inserted the adapter, everything seemed to work. This time I managed to figure out how to use WPS and it connected with my router without problems. Unlike with an AirPort or some Apple-supported device, there's no indication in the menu bar that there's a connection, but the "Ralink Wireless USB" utility that launches when the adapter is connected confirmed it was there.

Medialink also includes a rather large desktop base with a hefty USB cable attached, should you want to use it. I tried it and it did work.

Pros: Support of Windows, OS X and Linux (I suppose - I didn't try Linux), compact size, good performance

Cons: Confusing configuration utility

Edit: December 29, 2010

I noticed that the Amazon description no longer mentions Linux and Mac support, so I called Medialink to ask what's up. I was told that they found the market for the adapter on Linux/Mac OS smaller than they thought and they didn't have expertise in those operating systems, so they no longer advertise Mac and Linux support. However, drivers for those ARE still on the CD and if they get any newer driers from Ralink (the chipset vendor), they'll pass them on (on the web site, I assume.) I still recommend this adapter for Mac OS users, but be prepared to be "on your own" if you're using Mac OS or Linux. (And sorry, I can't provide support either!)

After reading all of the reviews, I expected miracles out of this little device.

After snapping my NetGear USB Wireless-N adapter yesterday, I immediately ran to Amazon to get a replacement for my desktop. This one was well-reviewed and reasonably priced, so I Prime overnighted it.

It got here right away (as usual) in a cool box, with a USB thumb-drive sized wireless device and a docking-station type extension so that you could put the antenna where it made the most sense (probably on your desk, not behind your computer in a USB port). I hooked it up to my Windows 7 box and it was immediately detected and installed. One click onto my network (Linksys dual-band router) and I was online. I was almost disappointed that I didn't get to call their legendary tech support. Once I got online, I went straight to SpeedTest.Net to check my throughput. I was getting 18+MBps, which is about 4x what I was getting with the NetGear. I was so impressed I wrote my first Amazon review. This is the way it SHOULD go.

Dewalt Nailer - nail gun, nailer

Visit Store Now !!

I bought a DeWalt nail gun near the end of last year. Since then I've driven several boxes of nails with it, mostly without any hitches. I've used it nearly every day for building cabinets and installing mouldings. This is my third brad nailer. My first one was a Senco SLP20, a fabulous gun. I never had any problems with the Senco other than the safty being on the front side of the driver... that made it difficult to shoot nails at a bit of an angle if needed. My only other complaint about the Senco was its limited capacity in length of nails, 1 5/8". After the Senco was stolen out of the back of my truck I bought a Hatachi brad nailer... the DeWalt was not yet on the market. Overall, the Hatachi was a nice quality gun and had the 2" nail depth capacity I really needed for my work. However, it would often double fire on me because the safty was so sensitive. This problem occurred so much I finally gave it to my son (a weekend warrior) after the DeWalt came on the market. I was real excited about the new DeWalt brad nailer because of the nice features, particularly the design which put the safty behind the driver. It worked flawlessly right out of the box and I almost never looked back. At the time I was looking at the DeWalt gun I was also considering the new Senco gun that shot 2" nails.Now after about six months I'm beginning to think I made a mistake buying the DeWalt. A recent problem has occurred that's quite troubling: The gun stopped firing and recycling properly. I thought maybe at first it was due to a blown O-ring or something like that. The only way I could get the cylendar to return was to uncouple the air hose. Then, I could shoot one nail before having to uncouple the hose again. Needless to say this was a pain in the rear. Another son, who is also in construction, told me he encountered the same propblem with his DeWalt brad nailer... which was even newer than mine. He was finally able to get his to work by adding oil to the driver and guide after opening up the quick release mechanism. I tried this, but used a super thin lubricant instead of the oil that came with the gun. It didn't work. Later I went back and it fired fine for about 10 shots and then stopped again. I've let it set for a couple of days now and just tried it again. It seems to work fine now, but obviously I'm concerned because I don't feel I can rely on it when doing a job on site... and that could really cost me time and money. So, I'm once again thinking hard about buying yet another brad nailer, the newly designed Senco 2" gun. I've really liked the DeWalt, but am concerned about it's relyability. I'm also put off because it may be necessary to buy a third nail gun in less than two years... this is getting expensive. DEWALT D51238K 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer

Boy I like this nailer. I have owned it for almost 2 years and have no complaints. I've never had a misfire. It drives 2 inch nails with ease. Best of all it's light. I used it for window and door molding and cabinet work. This gun is easy to load, and easy to change the depth of the shot.

Some nice features are:

1. As the nails run low, an indicator appears to show that you have 6 nails left. Then it moves to show a countdown to show when you are empty. It's nice not to have to open the magazine to see how many nails you have. And of course the indicator that appears is yellow.

2. You can direct the exhaust airflow anywhere you want.

3. If the nail jams, which has only happend when I hit something below, the head easily opens so you can extract the bent nail.

I also have the 15 ga. nailer and would highly recommend both of these. I've also recommended this nailer to 2 friends and they have also had excellent results. Way to go DeWALT!!

Update: add another year of use, still working strong. No problems at all.

I just bought this nailer at Home Depot several months ago for our trim crew. We specifically use 18G bradders for shoe and other small moldings. This unit is the best we've ever come in contact with. The guys tried the Porter Cab tools and they don't seem to have the power to set nails and they don't feel nearly as durable as the Dewalt. The depth setting mechanism on this tool is tops as well

I recently purchased this 18 gauge Brad Nailer and a Porter Cable Pancake Compressor for Christmas. I waited to write a review until I had time to test it properly and I am still not certain that I am giving the Nailer a proper review. To start with I thought that all of the fittings for connecting to a compressor would come with the Nail Gun but these items were not included. I purchased the necessary fittings, which were very inexpensive, set it up and started testing it. Since I have never used a Nail Gun before, I changed the trigger to the sequential trigger provided in the kit to prevent accidentially shooting too many nails in one place. I am happy with the way the Gun feels, with the depth it shoots brads, how easy it is to change the depth, eveything EXCEPT that sometimes it dry fires for no reason. I have tried doing the things the instructions suggest to prevent this but I was still able to dry fire once about every 15 shots. Other than this the gun is really nice and I hope that I can talk to someone at Dewalt to resolve this problem. As of Jan. 2 I can not get through to anyone at Dewalt for assistance. I will write again as soon as I get assistance and the problem is resolved or if the problem remains I will down grade my review.

I received this nail gun as a free gift from DeWalt for purchasing a certain amount of products from them. I had previously used only Spot Nails and Omer nail guns, available only through a supplier, but as soon as I tried the DeWalt, I could tell it was superior even to my Spot Nails gun. I've used it for two years now in the cabinet and molding industry, and as my shop has grown, I will be getting a few more of these nail gun for my guys to use. I have recommended this gun to all of my friends in the industry. I do not blindly endorse DeWalt products, but this nail gun really is a good product. - Brad - Dewalt Nailer - Nail Gun - Nailer'

Sony Mp3 Player - sony mp3, sony walkman

Visit Store Now !!

When searching for a new mp3 player the trail always leads me back to Sony. Its more about overall quality then brand loyalty. Over the years Sony's Walkman line has gone the distance and more. The all new Sony S Series Walkman adds to the legacy.

The S-540 8gb Walkman brings it on with a crisp, color enhanced 2.4" LCD screen that is easy on the eyes. At 2" x 4" x .4", it comes in a bit larger then its older cousin. A larger body undoubtedly is required to provide support for the external speaker system. The speakers won't get confused with my home system anytime soon but they do provide an excellent source. With headphones on, this mp3 player delivers a cornucopia of sound. Missing but not that noticeable is the noise reduction feature. The on board equalizer can be tweaked to one's own preferences or users can choose one of the six presets.

The Navigation pad located directly under the screen is a breeze to operate. Three controls are located on the right side of the unit. One locks in the controls. The second one allows for easy switching from speaker to headset. Volume is the third control. The standard headphone jack and a USB port can be found on the bottom of the unit. The detachable flip out stand is an okay feature that allows for easy standing on my desk or shelf top. I would have preferred that it was permanently mounted.

The S-540 supports mp3, mp4, AAC, AVC, WMV, WMA, and PCM. PCM is Sony's version of WAV. It pairs well with Napster. Rhapsody is a no go. Downloading my playlists from Windows Media Player was a breeze without the usual hiccups associated with older mp3 players. I did download a couple of photographs on this model. The display was outstanding. Unlike my older Walkman, this model doesn't offer the wallpaper photo display option.

The built in FM tuner picked up all ten of my stations. With auto scanner functionality, thirty preset slots are available. The FM radio is crystal clear when using the headset as an antenna. The alarm and timer features are a nice addition. This model also has an impressive on board microphone located on the bottom of the unit. There are three voice settings. Voice playback quality was excellent. Battery life has always been biggie with Sony. On a full charge, I got almost a full thirty five hours of music.

This Sony mp3 player comes packaged with a USB cable, flip stand, ear buds, installed operating manual, and the standard one year warranty. Body finishes for the 8GB model include; black, red, pink and violet. The 16GB unit comes in a black or red body.

Economically priced, this latest edition to the Walkman line is a durable and reliable product that simply delivers. Easy to use and loaded with features, the Sony S-540 is a prime time performer. Sony Walkman S-544 Series 8 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)

I like this device, but everyone should know what's in the EULA (End User License Agreement). Under the heading SOFTWARE DATA COLLECTION AND MONITORING is "The SOFTWARE contains features which may allow SONY and/or third parties to collect data from, control and/or monitor computers and devices running or interacting with the SOFTWARE. You hereby consent to such activities."

When installing the software the option to agree or disagree with the EULA appears. I disagreed and canceled the software installation. I can still use Windows Explorer to drag-and-drop files. I thought by not agreeing with the EULA (and thus not installing the software) I lost the ability to convert video files but the option appears each time I transfer such files. It must be inherent in the player. See below for more.

Other reviewers say that the screen scratches easily. The player doesn't come with a case cover and I didn't want to pay $20 for one so I bought a pack of WriteRight Static Cling Screen Protectors and cut one out to perfect screen size. Body Glove WriteRight Universal e-Reader Static Cling Screen Protector, 2 Pack (9202401) I can get 4 total but the first one I put on is holding firm.

I do like this player for playing audio. The screen is easy to see even in daylight and the player is really easy to navigate. Audio sounds good and video and pictures look good, too, but if you're buying this primarily to watch videos be aware that it's like watching them on the screen of a typical digital camera. I bought this mainly for playing mp3 audio but thought it would be worth a few extra dollars for the ability to view pictures and video clips. After using this myself and watching other people squint to see my pics & vids I don't exactly regret buying this, it's still a great mp3 player, though the screen is better suited to menu functions & navigating than it is video viewing.

At first the pictures and video are oriented vertically so they look too small but there are options to orient video and pictures horizontally so that they fill the screen.

As I said above even if you don't agree with the EULA and don't install the Sony software you can still drag and drop files. When I connect the player to my Windows 7 computer Windows Explorer automatically appears. What's really great is when transferring video files to the Walkman the option to convert them pops up; click on Convert and Copy and within a few seconds it's done. AVI files convert to WMV. Even files that are already WMV for some reason need to be converted; if I choose not to convert them they don't show up on the player.

Update on the battery: after a full recharge I can listen to music for many hours though not near the 42-hour claim. Still, I am impressed with the battery life (so far).

Video Production - 1080p, 3d tv

Visit Store Now !!

We just purchased a Samsung Plasma PN58C8000. It came with the Shrek 3d and Samsung 3d glasses bundle. We needed more glasses, as 3d is more fun with the whole family! I purchased 4 Nxg-3DG glasses and don't regret it for a second. I analyze video and image quality for a living and without quantitatively going into drawn out detail, and testing all the fine differences, I can say that these glasses do a great job compared to the Samsung glasses that came with the bundle.

The Samsung glasses have actual optical grade lenses where as the Nxg-3dg glasses do not. A very, very small amount of detail (like the "noise" within textures) is lost when using the Nxg-3dg glasses. Would I buy more if I needed more glasses over the Samsung? Yes! However, if they were the same price as the Samsung I would purchase the Samsung glasses.

Also, they suffer the same intermittent losing sync (flashing) as the Samsung glasses. It is not constant enough to be annoying, but there are DIY fixes such as the tape method if you Google the issue; if it happens to annoy you. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the coolness factor as both styles glasses have made me burst into uncontrollable laughter when trying to have a conversation with someone wearing them; seriously don't go out in public with these or the Samsung glasses unless it's Halloween and you have a pocket protector.

My vision impaired, spectacle wearing dad prefers these over the Samsung glasses as they fit nicely over his actual glasses. Apparently they are more comfortable. My very petite girlfriend likes the Samsung glasses better as they don't slide down her nose as often as the Nxg-3d glasses (realistically I am getting her the Samsung children glasses as those should fit her better anyways, but if Nxg made kids glasses I would buy those as they would be close to 3 times cheaper!).

Bottom line: 3d is a lot of fun to watch!! And less money = awesome

As a side note, I tend to wear these more often than the Samsung glasses as I generally do not put things back where they go and the Nxg-3dg glasses are within arm's reach as I have been heavily scrutinizing them since there were no reviews at the time I ordered them.

They also have an auto shut off feature and the ear pieces are flexible which gives me a greater sense of ruggedness than the Samsung glasses (that I tend to "serve" to people with a sense of great care on a protective platter with a list of instructions and a laynard so they don't drop and break...), so kids and guests have at, the Nxg-3Dg glasses make my 2000 dollar tv purchase easily stay within a less jaw dropping price than what I originally thought it was going to cost just to watch 3d!!! NXG Technology NX-3DG Infrared Active Shutter 3D Glasses

After buying a Samsung 3D television I was shocked at the price for their 3D glasses. I sucked it up and bought the Starter kit with 2 glasses with the Monsters V Aliens disc for $349. They worked fine. However, needing more glasses since we are a family of five I wanted to find a cheaper solution. I took a chance on these and I am very pleased with the purchase. Not only do these look great, there is absolutely no difference in the 3D viewing experience. In fact my teenage sons prefer using these over the Samsung. These are a bit more comfortable to wear and "look cooler" (according to my sons). Bottom line: Don't waste your money on the manufacturers overpriced glasses. (Save the $$$ towards some future 3D releases-- I can't wait for Avatar!!)

These are exceptional glasses for the money. I initially bought one and ended up buying 2 more.

After getting Samsung 3D Plasma TV and the Samsung Starter Kit, I have to give these glasses a definitive step up from the Samsung ones. While these glasses may not be optical quality, I found the 3D experience much more enjoyable and clearly defined than the Samsung ones, and considering that you can buy three pairs of these for LESS than the 2 pair starter kit, I would highly recommend them to anyone getting into 3DTV, especially the Samsung series of 3D HDTVs.

I purchased these glasses for three reasons:

1) I have broken two pairs of Samsung glasses since I got my 3D TV 6 months ago. Samsung's glasses feel strong, but don't drop them because even with only a 3 foot fall onto carpet, they will break.

2) They are cheaper than the OEM glasses (by a lot).

3) Samsung's glasses are 2-3 months out for delivery.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I got them. Here is my impression (after watching MvA and Alice in Wonderland). These glasses sync with the TV perfectly. I experience the same amount of cross talk as I do with the Samsung glasses (which is very little). The color difference is very minor. I actually find the colors better with these glasses as they seam brighter. The biggest, however is that these glasses have wide frames. Thus, unlike the premium Samsung glasses, my vision doesn't get cut off.

He is the simple pros and cons:

PROS:

1) Lower Price

2) Sturdy Construction (although they feel like cheap plastic, they are more sturdy than the Samsung OEM glasses).

3) Almost no difference is quality of picture between these and the Samsung OEM (I like these better).

4) Did I mention these are less than 1/2 the cost of the Samsung OEM glasses.

CONS:

1) These glasses tend to slip off if you move around a lot.

2) They come with a cloth case, similar to the Samsung OEM. (3D glasses should come in a hard plastic case! Panasonic got it right).

Wall Mount - tv mounts, tv wall mount

Visit Store Now !!

I bought the unit and was very skeptical due to the price point. But, I read the online reviews and felt confident enough to buy the unit. I was not disappointed at all. The unit appears to be made of sturdy construction. I thought the unit might be bulky, but it appears to have a profile similar to units costing over $100. The unit was fairly easy and straight forward to install. I am no craftsman, but I have some mechanical skill. If you are a do-it-yourself-er, there is no reason to spend $100 for a more expensive unit that does exactly the same thing. I was also very happy that the unit came with a large variety of screws, bushings, and washers. I did not need to hunt down my own screws or do any make shift adjustments. It bolted up clean straight out of the box. By the way, I used the kit to mount a 50" Panasonic Plasma. VideoSecu Tilt TV Wall Mount bracket for Most 32"- 55" LED LCD Plasma Flat Screen TV, MF607B 1QH

This has to be the best buy I've had in years! This VideoSecu TV wall mount is sturdy and easy to put up. The hardest part, for me,was finding the wall studs. I looked at mounts in stores around here. The cheapest was $89. I paid $19 each ,for the two,I bought. I bought two,for less than half, of one,here. One mount holds my 50" Samsung. The second mount holds my 42" Vizio. I also like the tilting part of the mount. This is a first time buy,from Amazon,but won't be my last.

I like everyone else on here was pretty skeptical when I ordered these. But after reading all the reviews I had to try them out before purchasing a mount for about $100. These mounts were a piece of cake to install but what was suprising was how much hardware they gave you. You will definetely not have to run to the hardware store. Also the quality was good. I didn't see any bad looking welds or anything. These mounts look great on the wall and keep the tv pretty tight to it. The finished product looked great. As for the quality, great!! The reason I say this is I just mounted two tv's last weekend and we had a 5.9 Earthquake the other day. This was the one thing that worried me. Would the mount be able to withstand the walls twisting. They didn't move an inch. Great product, great price!! If I need to mount another tv I would buy another one of these in a second. Buy it, you will be happy!!

This wall mount is an incredible bargain. It feels strong, installs easy, and is less that 2" deep, all at a fraction of the cost of mounts sold at the brick&mortar stores. Even at Wal-Mart, the cheapest bracket was $100!

Also, because the design uses two horizontal rails as opposed to a solid plate against the wall, there is space between the rails for power outlets, etc. I actually built a little recess in my wall between the rails to tuck wires. It works great!

One word of caution though: DO NOT rely on the bubble level which comes installed in this wall mount! Mine was off enough that I could tell it wasn't level when I stood back and looked at it. I verified by placing a true level on top of the wall mount, and sure enough, I had to reintall the wall mount. I guess this advice probably applies to any wall mount with a built-in level. Don't trust them!

Wow, I bought three flat screens for my business and didn't want to spend a fortune mounting them. This wall mount was inexpensive, well built and included all the hardware needed to mount numerous different TVs. This, my friends, is the way to go.

I wasn't sure to order it when I started reading other comments, some were positive and other kind of scary saying that the tv might fall of the wall.

But if it is installed correctly it has no problem, even in an apartment that does not have the best walls.

So overall I'm very happy with my purchase, and I recommend it. - Tv Mounts - Lcd Wall Mount - Wall Mount - Tv Wall Mount'

Waste Of Money - ipod touch 4th generation case, waste of money

Visit Store Now !!

I thought this would be okay for my new G4 8 gig....boy was I wrong. It is not worth the shipping cost. I suppose I am to harsh. If you are planning to put this skin on and leave it in your drawer it would work just fine. However, if you want to take your touch with you, get something else. I took it golfing and the skin didn't even stay on in my pocket. If fits too loose to provide any real protection. All in all, it was very annoying and I am going to see if they will take it back. KEEP SHOPPING! 4G Touch Twin Pack Black & Clear Silicone Protective Armour Case Cover + Screen Protector Kit for New Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation - 8GB 32GB 64GB

I bought this as there wasnt much selection for the new 4G touch. The first one fell off all the time wneh you put it in your pocket and the bottom piece broke. Also it comes with a free screen protector but the first one only had one side to pull off and was defective. Easyi said they would send me a new one and refund my money if I removed my first review(which i did to give them another chance).

The replacement came and it is the same thing and will not stay on the 64 GB ipod touch. The second screen protector actually went on the touch but the holes dont line up and so it looks a little off. I know that they should but it wouldnt cover the screen properly if I lined them up correctly. They did try to help me out with the replacement and the refund but I am still not happy with the end result. I guess you get what you pay for but I will wait for something better.

I bought the clear version of this (which isn't available anymore). I put it on my new touch 4G today and walked to work. When I reached for the touch, the case was mostly off. All day today, every time I pulled the touch out of my pocket, I found the case had partially slipped off.

It doesn't seem to be a case specifically designed for the 4G touch. It rather seems like a case for the thicker 3G... the opening at the top rear seems designed to fit around that unit's wi-fi antenna. Yes, the 4G's camera and mic are where the 3G's wi-fi was, so it should work out... except that the 4G is too thin for a proper fit.

I can't believe people complain such a good product compare to the price. It comes with 2 sets of Cases and Screen protectors. The case is very soft and fits perfectly to my Ipod Touch 4, it protects the device very well, and to keeps you off the scratches from the Hard case. (the hard cases normally scratch your device easily)

The screen protector also fit nicely. However you'll notice some scratches on the surface of the protector after several days usage. What a big deal for it, it did its job to protect your device, and the minor scratches will be disappeared when you turned on your device. Don't worry about it, for such the low price, I wouldn't say anything against it. Don't spend $15 or even more on the screen protector. You won't regret to buy this combo deal.

I've only had my iPod Touch for about 2 months now, and got the black silicone protector for it, figuring it'd be all I'd need. I usually have my iPod in my back pocket, so it's safe most of the time, and isn't in much danger of falling or anything. This case did a pretty good job at first- it's comfortable, fits around the iPod perfectly, and you can access the volume and power buttons easily. The hole on the back for the camera's also the right size. That's all that really matters, right?

Cut to a few weeks ago when I noticed a couple of small tears in the casing. I never pulled at the case when taking it off, at least not in the areas the rips showed up in, and the sides of the case are suddenly loose and the iPod pops out of it every other time I take it out of my pocket. This thing's also a magnet for dust, and gets dirty easily.

For the price, it does a good job for short-term protection, but I'd only get this if you need a quick replacement case and somehow can't get a better one right then and there.

The screen protector also isn't as good as some of the others, and can be a pain to get on without any air bubbles, but when you finally get it on, it does a very good job of keeping scratches from ruining the screen. It just starts to peel at the corners a little bit over time, but with a proper case over it, this isn't a big deal.

I just got the package today, which is a day earlier than what amazon notified me, which is a plus. The screen protector isn't all that bad, if you clean the screen carefully before you put the protector on. When putting on the protector, you should be careful but quick because if the side of the protector that contacts with itouch screen catches dust or anything, it is almost impossible to remove it, which means you need to use a second screen protector. Watch out for air pockets when you putting the protector.'If you do mess up for the first time like me, it is not a problem. The package comes with 3 protectors). I suggest buyers lay the protector starting on the home button side because it is easier that way to put it right in the middle of the touch. Keep in mind that the protector will leave a gap that is about a hair thick, but that shouldn't be a problem because you have a case. Talking about the case, the black one, to be honest, sucks like help. It has a weird trashy smell, is kinda slippery, and has a huge hole on the bottom for ear phone and etc. that is so insecure. It can't really hold the touch in place. However, the white one is a lot better. It fits pretty well, has a smaller bottom, and doesn't slip off my hand like the black one does.

Overall, I don't think this is a bad purchase and don't regret buying it. I got what I wanted, and I hope this review helps. - Ipod Touch 4th Generation Case - Trash - Junk - Waste Of Money'

4th Generation - mp3 player, 4g

Visit Store Now !!

I just got my new shuffle in the mail today. I needed something for running and dreadmilling when it is too snowy/icy to run outside.

My initial impressions:

Pros

Great little thing (small)

strong clip

easy to use (hooray for buttons!)

simple, multi-position switch on the top lets you play in order or shuffle. Voice over button is easy to use and works well.

Easy to sync (choose playlists, genius playlists, albums, artists, podcasts, etc...)

Looks good (see my notes about online photos at the bottom)

Long (15h) battery life.

EDIT: A "hold" function has been added, just hold the center button to activate and deactivate, good feature. It would be useful if I had just gotten mine, but I learned how to use it without the feature so I don't end up using hold much.

Cons

None. (As far am I concerned, there are cons like "no screen" and such, but if you order this to get an ipod shuffle, not a nano or other mp3 player, you will not be disappointed. I was not let down at all).

EDIT: After some thought and use, I thought of some cons.

$50 for 2gb is not a great price compared to other mp3 players.

2gb might be limiting to you. This just means you have to choose or let itunes choose what music goes on there carefully.

Because the buttons take up most of the front of the ipod, it can be hard to use the clip while it is turned on without pressing the next button.

Conclusion:

If you know what an ipod shuffle does, need a reasonable music player that syncs with your itunes, and don't need more. GET ONE!!! I can't imagine you will be let down.

One last note: From all the photos online, you can't really tell, bu this is not a matte finish ipod. The finish is shiny, but not mirror-y. And actually, no one will care about this, but the top and bottom are matte silver. It looks good. Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Blue (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL

Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL

I bought the Ipod Shuffle 4th generation to replace my 5th generation 30 gb Ipod, which now has inadequate battery power. I have used the Shuffle for a few days now, since it arrived in the mail from Amazon.com. There are a few small downsides too it, that can easily be ignored. The usb cord that plugs into both the computer and ipod shuffle is about four inches long. It's also hard to clip the shuffle onto my pants without pressing a button at the same time. I don't mind these cons as long as I'm careful not to lose the short cord. I also don't mind pressing a button (usually on the face) while I clip it onto my pants, as it usually just rewinds the song a few seconds, or skips to the next song--which can easily be set back to the original song by pressing the back button.

I really like the VoiceOver feature on the Shuffle. In a feminine monotone voice, it'll tell you what song you're listening too or what playlist you're using. And for 2gb of music, it's not bad, and holds just about as much music as I will ever need. I also like how I can put playlists on the Shuffle, which can come in handy when I want to listen to a certain genre.

I should also mention that I chose the blue color. It's not the same color as the display picture, and is actually more of a smoky blue color--which is still a really pretty color.

________

I copy and pasted the following from the Apple website for those who are confused on how to use the VoiceOver feature (Like I was). [...]

VoiceOver

Artist and song name:

Press to hear current track and artist

Multiple playlists:

Press and hold to hear playlist menu.

Battery status:

Press twice to hear battery status

Just to correct some of the previous reviews...the big problem with the 3rd gen shuffle was not that it was "too small" or even that the controls were not on the unit itself, but instead were on the headphone line...the problem was if those controls got even the SLIGHTEST (and I do mean slightest) bit of moisture on them it would totally jack up the shuffle. Now, what kind of activities would most people buy the tiny shuffle mp3 player for versus a nano or standard iPod? Oh, maybe jogging or working out? And what do you do with physical activities like this? That's right, you sweat! So it doesn't take a rocket scientiest to see the problem with the 3rd gen shuffle...a problem that should have been seen before they ever even produced it. Just read all the reviews for the 3rd gen and you'll see that this was not just a minor issue, but a huge one that the majority of the users had to deal with. It is good to see they came to their sense and we can once again use the shuffle during exercise.

The iPod that I currently use on a daily basis is my Apple iPod shuffle 4 GB Silver (3rd Generation) OLD MODEL. The main problem with THAT UNIT for me is that there is no other option than to use the Apple earphones, seems a greedy move by Apple. When the 4th generation came along, and I heard it had buttons I started to get excited. I would be able to use the Bose In Ear headphones with it. I don't exactly know why, but I wished the second generation shuffle would become available again. There was no hold function on the unit I tested, and the square shape wasn't something I was accustomed to.

Here's a general list of pros & cons:

PROS:

-Longer battery life[15h, compared to 10h on 3rd gen, and 12h on 1st & 2nd gen]

-BUTTONS were returned to the unit itself [not on the earphone cord]

-Price dropped to $49, dropped by about 17%

-Another color choice added, ORANGE

CONS:

-Price, $49 for 2GB, not great compared to other brands

-No hold function, though I hear Apple might add one

-No option for 4GB of storage anymore

-USB cable is 45mm[about 1.8 inches] VERY SHORT

-When the clip is pushed, it's hard not to push one of the buttons

-Buttons slightly harder to press than other models

-Square shape makes it harder to use when not looking.

Internal - sata ii, sata cable

Visit Store Now !!

The item described is a XION SATA cable with 180-degree connectors at both ends, and the package appears to be labelled with the correct UPC code, but the descriptive label and contents shipped to me is a cable with a 180-degree connector on one end, and a 90-degree connector on the other. I can still use it, but it's not the correct cable described. Xion XON-SATA1818_BL 18-Inch SATA II Cable (Blue) - Retail

This is a fine low cost cable. One thing not mentioned is it does have clips on the ends. Some will find this a bonus but myself I had trouble depressing the clip on the motherboard with other cables around it. I simply moved this cable to the outer most sata interface and had no problem unclipping after that.

The cable is exactly as described, to the user that stated it was the wrong cable, well when I purchased the cable I knew there was no 180 degree connector, its just a straight cable with straight cables. It looked tiny when I received it, thought I might have bought an 18 centimeter one rather than 18 inches, but sure enough unwrapping it and all it came out to 18 inches. Im using it to power my xbox 360 drive, I had to mount the drive out of the case, due to heat issues with the xbox 360. It works great, no problems. As to anything else nonapplicable to the cable I can rant, but the cable itself works, what more can you say? You won't get faster data transfer rates or anything else from just a mere cable, so all in all 5 stars for fast shipping, good packaging and price. If I need anymore SATA connectors I will surely buy them again, especially at the low price. Screw best buy for trying to charge me 20 dollars for the same exact thing. - Sata Ii - Sata Cable'

Oral B Replacement Brush - oral-b, refill

Visit Store Now !!

I'm an Oral B user of many years, have always bought replacement brushes at the local drugstore, and was completely satisfied. I purchased this 3-pack of replacement heads and had one come apart in my mouth after a few weeks of normal use. The metal pin at the end of the head came completely out and the rotating head came off. Both head and metal pin were loose in my mouth, an obvious swallowing hazard. The packaging displayed here does not look like my packaging, which is very plain saying only "Oral B Precision Clean", and the brush just feels cheap.

I cannot prove this brush to be a counterfeit yet, but I am contacting Oral B.

Update: Contact Oral B by telephone. Item I received is counterfeit and Oral B requested I return it to them. If your item's packaging does not look identical to the customer supplied images, I would not use the replacement head.

Have owned a Braun Oral-B Toothbrush Ultra Power Handle w/Timer for about five years. Got it because my dentist said the oscillating action this model has was good to not only brush the teeth, but that it would scrub away plaque from between teeth and along gum lines better than my old 'up-and-down' electric or regular toothbrushes.

And of course he repeated that old saying, "Two minutes, twice a day." His dental hygienist also advised replacing the brushes every three months, just like with regular toothbrush. That's great advice, except what can you do if you can't find replacement brush refills?

I didn't think that going to a grocery or drug store would results in such a hassle about finding replacement brushes, and I won't bore you with the details. But the brushes are indeed available right here, and if you check the prices carefully you'll find that there are some bargains to be had, and in almost all cases they're cheaper than your local store.

They're called 'Precision Clean' (the new name for 'Flexisoft') and should be marked 'EB17'. You can get them here as well:

¤ Oral-B Precision Clean 3-pack brush head refill

¤ Oral-B EB17-3 Power Toothbrush Replacement Brush Heads

¤ Oral-B Precision Clean - 4 Replacement Brush Heads

¤ 9 (3X3) Oral-B Replacement Fexisoft Brushheads EB-17

¤ Oral-B 3 Precision Clean + 1 Interspace Refills

¤ Oral-B Precision Clean Replacement Brush Head Refill

These refills are compatible with most Oral-B electric toothbrushes except Vitality Sonic, Sonic Complete or CrossAction. If you have an Oral-B electric toothbrush that is noted to take Precision Clean, FlexiSoft, ExtraSoft, EB17, or PowerPolisher brush heads, then these will work.

As noted earlier, keep your eye open on the prices, as they do seem to vary quite a bit. Some are sold by vendors, but shipping may be free and marked 'Fulfilled by Amazon'. You can also search here for 'eb17', 'precision clean', or 'flexisoft' and you should be able to find them.

If you're shopping locally, be aware that there are counterfeit Oral-B heads on the market, and they may be hard to spot, though the Oral-B logo seems to wipe off on some of them. They're usually marked "Flexisoft" and have German and/or Chinese writing on them, and can break in two days to two weeks. The bogus brushes also present a health risk, especially for young children, as some have had the oscillating head break off or the brush part disintegrate. Enough said.

Speaking of brush heads, when you replace your Oral-B brush, don't just throw it out. Keep it and use it for effortlessly cleaning or polishing small items such as jewelry.

After only one week (or less) of use, product becomes lose, head wobbles, very noisy, pinches tongue, gums and inside of cheeks. I don't know if these are simply a bad batch from Oral-B or knock-offs. Waste of money!

I had read other reviews about this product purchased from the seller "Potential Dynamix" in which people complained about the product quality. The first brush head I used had a very loose head, which I assumed was just a single product defect. Then, the second brush head literally came apart as I was using it. I contacted Procter and Gamble and they asked me to mail the brush heads in for replacement. They just contacted me and informed me that the product was a counterfeit. I could not tell at all, as the packaging and product itself was not visibly any different from the actual brush head, other than it completely came apart after use. Again, stay away from this product as sold by "Potential Dynamix". (Note: "Potential Dynamix" has since changed their name to "DAB Nutrition")

after a week of using these heads they became wobbly, pinching my lips and my cheeks, noisy (rattling sound), and eventally broke in my mouth. I asked my husband about it and he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary...then his brush head did THE SAME EXACT THING MINE DID!!!!! They feel cheaply made compared to the ones I usually buy in the drug stores so i'm not sure if these are counterfeit or seconds from the manufacturer but either way they should not be sold on here and the seller should be banned for selling junk and shoddy products.....DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER - Refill - Oral-b - Oral B - Braun'

Caution: You will not get the item pictured.

My order was fufilled by "Partshouse". The repair kit sent to me was not the same as what is pictured on this page. It also does not come with the instructions the the Whirlpool kit does.

I am returning this part. I hope I will be able to update this post and tell you that process went alright. Whirlpool 4392065RC 29-Inch Dryer Repair Kit

took my wife and I less then a half hour to install. I already had the dryer apart while I was waiting for the parts to come in. But it shouldn't take long to pull apart. it is alot easyer if you have someone to help, so try to have someone to assist you. otherwise I am sure it could become a pain...

Our Kenmore machine was squeaking -- it is pretty old, but this kit renewed it.

The new belt is good too, because the old belt was pretty frayed - it would have broken soon, no doubt.

I think the machine runs better too - I suspect that the belt was a bit stretched out, and I believe that this could lead to drum slippage.

The project did take an hour or two -- the video tutorials you can see on YouTube were helpful in my opinion.

The most difficult part of installing the replacement parts is figuring out how to get the front panel off. After that the installation was easy. We had an annoying rattling sound that I thought was coming from one of the rollers. Replaced the rollers, tensioner and belt and the sound went away. The only part you need to make sure you get right is the seal of the drum at the back of the dryer(make sure you pay attention to the directions). Would recommend everybody taking off the front panel of their dryer annually and vaccuum the lint that accumulates at the bottom of the dryer.

there's plenty of easy videos for how to make this repair as a homeowner, with minimal tools. It was very very easy, best with a helper to hold things while reassembly. A no brainer, do not hire this one out. The replacement parts are good as new.

I bought this product because my Kenmore Dryer started making a lot of noise when in use. Not knowing what was wrong with it I did my research on Youtube and found out 2 things: 1] step by step instructions how to change different parts of a dryer and 2] the noise could originate from either the belt, pulley, rollers. etc.... Instead of getting a specific part, I thought it was wiser to get the whole kit (just in case). For example. the cost of a 27 inch dryer belt would be about half the cost of the whole kit so it was a no brainer. I called Sears service and it would cost me about [...] to have a service personnel come to my house and fix the dryer. The dryer kit (including shipping) cost me [...]. From start to finish it cost me 2 hours of labour to fix my dryer but now it operates so quietly that my wife checks on it (she got use to listening to a train when the dryer was on). This is just an excellent product at an excellent price.

This product is a perfect fit for a large 29 inch dryer. The wheels were very easy to change with a pair of pliers. The tension pulley gave me a little trouble, but i attribute that to design rather than part maker. The belt fits perfectly as well. I highly recommend watching a tutorial which provides a visual process of changing these parts. Those tutorials can be found easily via your favorite search engine. Seeing how a professional changes these parts will greatly reduce the amount of time needed to change it yourself.

The kit had all the necessary parts for my Kenmore dryer. They looked exactly the same as the original parts. Putting the belt around the pulley was easier to understand after I found this video on You Tube. There's an entire series about how to pull apart the dryer. Much recommended.

[...]

Our Whirlpool dryer model LEQ7030KQ0, for six months, squealed like a freight train coming to a stop. I found elsewhere online that the noise was likely caused by worn support wheels. I bought this kit from Amazon and with Prime I had it in a couple of days.

I followed the instructions included in the kit and installation was fairly easy; taking only a couple of basic tools and a little bit of time. Everything fit perfectly; belt, idler pulley, and support wheels. Dryer is now as quiet as new.

If I had known that it was so easy and inexpensive to fix, I would not have not put up with the noise for so long. - Whirlpool - Belt - Repair - Kenmore'
