Awesome Hardwood Floor Vacuum - best vacuum, canister vacuum


While these provide a more convenient option than frequently cleaning the cloth bag that comes with the backpack vacs, cost will add up quickly. I have about a 2000 sq. ft. house that's home to 2 dogs and a cat, so there is a lot of fur; however, these bags fill up after about 2 or 3 cleanings. Even at the least expensive places I've found to order them, they cost over a dollar bag once you add shipping. I'll be using the included reusable filter bag once I'm done with these.



They look giant weird coffee filters and are easy to install, despite the lack of instructions. Remove the reusable bag to use. The interior cone (convex) goes over the HEPA filter inside the vacuum, the exterior cone (concave) sits in the bucket and the edge extends slightly outside the vacuum. Clamp on the dome cover, strap on the vac pack and you're ready to go. Disposable Paper Liner for Commercial Backpack Vacuum Cleaner, (7 bags per pack)

I don't understand why people have so much difficulty with these bags. They're really easy. I gave them only four stars because of the price, but quite frankly it's worth a dollar to me not to clean out the reusable bag by hand. Simply open the vacuum cleaner lid, remove the "cleanable/reusable" bag that it comes with and then just drop these in the hole. The tops might need a little wiggle so that you can make sure there is paper all around the top seal of the machine. These do not cause any reduction in cleaning power & they are so simple to throw out when you're done. If you have the cleaner & you're busy and don't want to fight with the reusable bag to empty its contents, then buy these bags. They work very well. - Best Vacuum - Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Hepa - Canister Vacuum'

Speaker Cables - audio, adapters


I've ordered a few of these from Amazon, and they are usually like toothpick guage wire. Not this one. This baby was a reasonable thinkness. The connectors have an anti-corrosion coating too. By far the best 3.5mm to 2 RCA I've gotten from the web (anywhere). Buy this one. Period. I mean it. Buy it. Like, now... Stop reading... Why are you still reading? Look, did you need a conversion wire or not? hahahaha! 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2 RCA Male Splitter Cable (12 Feet)

Fast shipment, accurately described product. I plugged it in and had sound on the 52" flat screen as a clone of the PC's widescreen monitor. Also needed a 3.5 splitter to route the audio to both the PC and the TV, but that's no big thing -- had one in the top drawer with my other audio odds-and-ends. Sound quality is good.

This item is exactly as advertised. My use for this was to attach my iPhone to my home stereo system. Instead of going out and purchasing one of these expensive docking systems, I opted to go for the inexpensive route, and I am glad I did! The sound quality I get is great, and the price can not be beat. I would definitely recommend this item for someone who is looking to attach a portable music device to a stereo system without breaking the bank! - Connectors - Audio - Adapters - Audio Cables'

Consealer - consealer, cover up consealer


I got this because I didn't want to cover up something that was unsightly with something that would make it worse. I have noticed no major healing effects with this concealer, so no miracle product but it at least doesn't make my spots any worse and that's what I was looking for. Neutrogena SkinClearing Blemish Concealer, Fair 05

I am completely blown away by this concealer. First of all, thank you Neutrogena for producing a yellow-based concealer. This matches my complexion perfectly (I purchased medium 15). I have tried a few concealers including MAC, which were not skin friendly - at least for me. Then I've been using Murad's conealer for some time. It is very good and stays on all day with a matte finish under powder. However, the shades have pink undertones and it doesn't match my face like the Neutrogena concealer. This one outshines Murad - a BIG surprise given the relatively cheap price. It also glides on smoother and covers blemishes and imperfections very well. Moreover, even though it conceals so well, it is more lightweight than the Murad concealer.



Even better, it blends so well that you do not necessarily need foundation. I use it with Mario Badescu's Special Healing powder, topped with Maybelline Fit Me powder. I have not tried the Neutrogena mineral powder as these mineral powders do not agree with my skin (despite their popularity). I would consider the Healthy Skin powder be Neutrogena; but I fell in love with Fit Me. It really does "fit" your complexion perfectly! Anyway, I have also invested in one of the Neutrogena Skin Clearing foundation. It is also the bomb! Only use it when going out on the town though and maintain the abovementioned regime for day wear.



It should definitely be produced in a wider range of shades though to cater to darker skin tones. It's a great product and should be suitable for all of us ladies. :o)





Cheers

This concealer is pretty inexpensive so you can't expect too much but I was hoping that since it was neutrogena that it would be worth while. It covers blemishes OKAY - which is fine for the price. My problem with this is that it says "skin clearing" and it definitely is not that. I have normal/combo skin mostly its just the "monthly" breakout thing and this definitely doesn't irritate the blemishes/zits but it doesn't go away any sooner than if I wore nothing at all.



I'd say if its an emergency and/or you're looking for something inexpensive then this will work just fine, otherwise if you can afford to spend a little extra I would go with something that actually "clears your skin".

I use this with skin clearing mineral powder from Neutrogena and it works really well. If I do have something random pop up on my face after a workout or something, I just put this on with the powder and it is not visible. It is also nice to have the added medicine and not clogging my pores! - Cover Up Consealer - Consealer'

Keyboard Protector - macbook pro, keyboard protector


It keeps my keyboard clean and the area under it protected, which is what I'm assuming we all need.



Sometimes I have to lift it up to show people that it's not a custom red keyboard, but just a protective cover. I have the newer all white uni-body MacBook (13.3 inch), unlike the other reviewer with their black keyboard. So the keys really pop as red with the white lettering.



"Wow." They sometimes say. Wow, indeed. It covers the keys evenly and I can type as usual with very little keyboard discomfort. At first it felt a little powdery but once my greasy fingers flew across the keyboard a few times it started getting better. And my actual keyboard thanked me.



It matches my sweatshirt, drink of choice from Applebee's (Shirley Temple), and the blood that my gums bleed when I smile so much from having a stylish and effective product.



In all seriousness, I like this, I'm glad I chose it over black or clear, and it settles into my (new) MacBook 13.3 keyboard platform comfortably so nothing can slink in as long as I'm handling the laptop properly. GTMax Aluminum Unibody Apple MacBook / Pro / Air Silicone Keyboard Skin Cover - Red

if you want it to protect your keyboard it does just that. but i thought this cover would look really nice because i have a red cover for my mac but this cover is see-through and i can totally see the black keys under the red silicone. if you want to buy a keyboard cover for your mac just buy the cover with the black keys.

I like the red color and how it really stands out when the lights are low. It fits perfectly over the keys as it should. However, the letters on the keys don't line up with the real keys so when the lights are low double letters appear on the keyboard. Another slight flaw is that the trim of the silicone hangs over the dugout keyboard groove making it easier for one to accidentally peal it up. I recommend the black one by bargaincell it fits absolutely perfect for some reason.

i bought this product several months ago to protect my keyboard for miscellaneous things getting into it. It is a great product but it has done something to my macbook screen. i don't know if it ate it away or what but when i try cleaning the screen with a wet cloth, you can see where the keyboard cover outline was and it will NOT go away. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, or knows how to fix it, but other than that it was the only problem i had with it.

This cover is advertised to fit all macbook models, however it will not fit the 15" current generation macbook pro (it is a few mm to wide, so half the keys do not fit). However, I was able to get it to fit ok on a 2nd generation white macbook.



Otherwise, the product is pretty good.

Fits great. Looks great. Does a great job. Here are the minor flaws: 1. Some of the letters don't match exactly with the letters on the normal keyboard of the new (2010) Macbook Pro. This only becomes visible when the keyboard backlight is present. 2. The keyboard backlight buttons are not represented on this keyboard cover, probably to allow compatibility with other Macbook models that don't have a backlit keyboard. 3. You lose some of the joy of typing with this cover. It just doesn't feel as great. However, I can type on it just fine. Overall, I think it's worth the trouble.

Although cheap, its not worth the 2 dollars requested as, it sticks to the keyboard in some places since it is too thin does not match the keys well, has a wave to it and creates challenge in typing with it.

I also order the top-case which is another 2 dollars more, but worth it ! sits well, comfortable with typing and does not stick to key, rather fits it exactly !

Well yea some of the keys don't line up exactly with the keyboard, but it shouldn't bother you unless you are super anal about that kind of stuff...It serves its purpose, keeps my keyboard clean! It may take a couple days to get used to typing with the cover on, but you get used to it. =)

Its pretty nice, the color is cute and it does its job. Mine has never laid completely flush but I really don't even notice it. So far it has worn really well, none of the letters are wearing off or anything and its been a few months since i got it. It took me a few to get used to typing with it, but really it wasnt much of an adjustment. Over all its a great product for the price. - Macbook - Keyboard Protector - Macbook Pro - Dust Covers'

High Speed - elph, 300hs


I have my Powershot A2200 for about two weeks now. I was a little concerned about the mixed reviews but I thought I would take a chance. I have and love my Canon G10 but did not want to carry it everywhere with me. I needed a little camera to carry with me and not worry about. I purchased my Powershot A2200 for 129. and could not complain about that. I liked how you can move through the different modes quickly and I especially liked the live mode. I am an artist and it is very important for me to control color and contrast and I can easily do that in the live mode. I understand the problems some of the other reviews complained about especially the blurriness. I too had blurry photos when I first started using it. This camera has a learning curve - it is a very sensitive camera and you have to become familiar with it and choose the mode ( program, live , auto ) that is best for you. Also there are several options to control in the focus of the camera. I suggest you become familiar with it to improve your results. This is a good camera for someone like myself that is familiar with using cameras and want options for controlling images. If you just want to point and shoot and not think about it - this may not be the best choice. I am really impressed with the photos I have taken. I mainly use the live mode - it is a very flexible mode - shooting well in low museum light and even out of a fast moving car. Given what I received for this cost I am very pleased. I love my little light canon camera. Canon Powershot A2200 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Black)

I purchased this a few days ago to replace an older camera, and I love it. All of my test shots have turned out beautifully when I uploaded them, and the new fish eye and miniature settings are fun to play around with.



My only concern is that the flap that covers the a/v out ports now opens in a new way, so that the pieces holding it on are under a bit of strain when it's plugged in to your computer.

Canon cameras have always been the best for the money, not this one. Although the camera has numerous features that are attractive there are two issues that detract, Lag time and battery life. When the battery is freshly charged the lag time is comparable to the SD line of cameras. After ten to 15 shoots the lag time gradually gets too long. I would not recommend using it for shooting pictures at a sporting event. The battery is a lithuim-ion, same as the SD series. However, it is rated at only 740 mAh compared to 940 mAh on the SD series. On a recent trip the battery died after seven hours of usage. Today the battery monitor said I had used 1/3 of the capacity in 2.5 hours. Unfortunately, I did not use it extensively and learn of the battery problem until after the 30 day period or it would go back to Amazon. I recommend spending the extra money on the SD series or buying a different brand.

I had a heavy DSLR and wanted a smaller camera to take to the park or just on small trips. I found this one at the store for a really good price, and bought it. I have never had a Canon camera before, but let me tell you this... I love it! They have won my sastisfaction! It is a good "beginner" camera, and takes wonderful photos. I love all the effects like fisheye, minature, poster ect. Its a some-what small camera I can fit in my pocket and take just about anywhere. I would reccommend it to anyone interested.

I just recently bought this camera for my mom on Mother's day and it was a total waste of money! The first time she used, she loved it and the pictures came out great! We went to a concert last week and brought the camera (second time using it) and right when we turn it on THE LENS JAMMED and now it won't work. We keep receiving a message that states lens error and restart camera. Mind you, we have NEVER dropped the camera and there was no dirt or anything on the camera. It was in perfect condition! I decided to do some research to see if I could fix it myself and it turns out that a lot of their Powershot cameras have this issue and people want to charge $100 just to fix it! Might as well buy a new camera. But I'm definitely not going to buy a Canon!

This is exactly what I expect from the Canon brand. The pictures look great, and the camera is super easy to navigate. All of the photo options are fun to tinker around with. If you don't like to mess with settings, then there is an auto mode that takes pretty good pictures. For those of us that like to have more control over the picture, there is a mode for that as well. You can't really change too much beyond shutter speed, iris, and other such basics. If you want to get really in depth, then you shouldn't be shopping for a point and shoot camera. The camera is light weight and compact. If you want something to fit into a pocket while you're out and about, then this is definitely the way to go. The last Cannon I had has held up for years. The only reason I bought a new camera was for an upgrade. Cameras have more oomph now than they did six years ago! And this one was worth the hassle of upgrading! I expect another six years of picture taking with this one. - Powershot - Elph - 300hs - Hd Video'

Snow Thrower - snow thrower, snow removal


I have used this item twice since purchase--a 2 inch and a 4 inch snowfall. It does an excellent job of throwing loose snow from my driveway. The only problem I have noticed is that the plastic scraper (also known as the snow spade) wears down rapidly. I am using the thrower on a concrete drive and pushing it across the concrete is like grinding the plastic away. Replacement scrapers are $20 so I hope I don't have to replace it several times a year. It seems to me that the scraper should have a metal wear surface that would hold up better than the plastic. I am in the process of trying to design aluminum "skid" for that purpose. Greenworks 26012 12-Inch 7 Amp Electric Snow Thrower

I live in a row home in a major city on the East Coast. I bought this thinking that it would peed up the clearing of my sidewalk and to dig out my cars on the street. The shovel works very in deep snow and is light enough not kill your back. The biggest drawback is that there is no way to control the speed of the blade. As a result, the shovel creates a 25 foot plum snow, which makes maneuvering the shovel very difficult. I spent a lot of my time ensuring that I didn't pepper my neighbor's house with snow or shooting the snow into the street.

I am a widow women going on five years now. I use to shovel my deck but thanks to the Greenworks Electric Snow Thrower it is a breeze shoveling the deck. Great price and FREE SHIPPING ALSO.



Greenworks 26012 12-Inch 7 Amp Electric Snow Thrower

we live in sw colorado, so this was a great purchase. my husband LOVES it, we got dumped on with snow this morning...so it came just in time

looking to purchase some added items from this company later on,

added bonus that they are a green friendly company

best buy of the year

This snow thrower is a terrific value. It has a couple of minor flaws, but on the whole I am extremely pleased.



I live in an older house, and so the 7-amp motor (what some might see as a disadvantage, was a real benefit to me) because it doesn't easily trip the household breakers. (It hasn't tripped them yet, in fact, after about 4 hours of usage moving substantial snow.) It also has a built in circuit protector which I have not yet tripped either. The reset button is convenient and well-designed. It throws the snow with enough force that it can make it from one side of the double driveway to the piles beyond the other. It's trigger system and dead man's switch work well, and don't require a lot of fussing to operate. Also, unlike several other electric yard tools I own, it has a clever looping system for the cord near the plug which makes it all but impossible to disconnect it by accident. It comes pre-assembled and ready to use out of the box. It is a bit heavy to move around, but certainly lighter than a big full gas-powered one.



I wish it had a handle that was 8 to 12 inches longer. It can be adjusted (which is nice) but its longest setting is a bit short. I am only 5'10", but I have to bend way over to get the shovel at the optimum angle for throwing snow over the considerable banks around the driveway. It wants to be used at an angle relatively close to the ground in any case, which a few extra inches of handle would make more comfortable. It also much prefers light and fluffy snow to the stuff that builds up at the end of the driveway from the snow plow. In a perfect world, its deflector would be adjustable to give at least a bit of an angle to the toss. But those are mostly quibbles over an $80 snow thrower.



The big snow last week, I spent three hours shoveling the driveway, with help some of the time from my son and some from my wife. This morning, I did the whole thing myself in just over an hour, and I'm not nearly as wiped out from the hour. The handle length is really the only design flaw that I feel could be fixed at this price point, but it's a real issue. If they fix that, I'll happily revise to 5 stars, and start giving them out as presents to all my friends!

I bought this for my husband for Christmas 2010. I was tired of seeing him shoveling snow with a regular shovel. I waited to put a review here until he was actually using it which is happening now. He has now begun doing neighbor's sidewalks just to see how high the snow is thrown which is considerable.



This arrived well packed from Greenworks and well constructed, easy to move around and obviously fun to use! My husband is 61, strong and healthy..........I'd like to see this continue just as much as the inside 'kid' who loves to play also continues!



This is a great product, worth the price and I know I can even use it too (I'm older than my husband)!

This product performed above and beyond what was stated. I had 7 inches of snow and it moved it all! I think i'm in love! it is not too heavy so you can do steps and different levels without difficulty.

With the exception of the on/off switch the Thrower works very well. So far I've used it twice, and it does a fine job on both heavy and light snow types. These snowfalls were in the 4-5 inch range. The problem with the hand switch is that it requires the operator to apply a rather heavy grip to keep the power engaged. I used a tie-wrap to permananetly keep the unit switched on and used the plug to turn it on and off. - Snow Removal - Snowblower - Snow Thrower - Electric Snow Blower'

Corded Rotary Tools - rotary tool accessories, hobby tool


Dremel doesn't help much making the decision to pay the price for this package or the one that's half the price. I have both. This is the best deal if you want to use the EZ-Lock system or need a new EZ-Lock arbor, which makes sense if you cut a lot of metal. or do a lot of sanding or polishing. The real parts count in this kit is sanding drums and disks and polishing wheels.



The case is OK, but it's plastic and won't survive a drop. There's a small amount of unused space in the case.



The Dremel 697-06 doesn't include any EZ Lock parts, but does include a good selection of metal cutoff wheels that mount on a standard arbor.



If you already have the EZ-Lock arbor, you may be better off buying only the parts you need.



If you don't use the EZ-Lock system, 697-06 is a much better value. Dremel 710-05 160 Piece Accessory Kit

One of the smartest purchases I've ever made. First of all the "EZ lock" accessary alone is worth $15.00, and you get that plus 7 different types of wheels to use with it. Assortment of mandrels is great, you won't need to buy sanding accessories for a while too, 35 #60 grit drums, 35 #120 Grit, Sanding, polishing, cutting, buffing, sharpening, etc. Not to mention all the sanding disks, This is the one kit you need for your rotory tool. Beleive me you won't need anything else, even if you just get the kit and store it awaw for "just in case" it will not be a waste of cash, you "will" need something from this set maybe at a later time, but you will need/use it. I'd bet on that.

The cutting blades are not that durable. But I have enough sanding wheels for my whole life. Everything works good at Low to Medium speed. Watch out when cutting on high speed because you will have shrapnel flying at you from the cutting wheels.

I got this item at my local home depot for under $30+tax. If you don't know what you need, this is a great value for just testing out the things that a rotary tool can offer. Currently using it with the Black & Decker rotary tool. Since this kit contains a great variety, there will be things inside that I will most likely never use, but than again, you never know what comes up. From what I used so far, the cutting discs do last quite a bit; one of my sanding drums exploded on me from too high of an rpm most likely and pressing too hard against the surface. Just let the tool do the work, and should be fine.

this review is for the 160 ..



I wont list all the items in the box like everyone else has . Ill just say that anything you need will probably be here. Anything from engraving to cutting, polishing metals is in the box. Its a great sturdy box that opens like a book.. although the bottom folds down. Tons of sanding and neat tools for around the house . Ive polished my gold, sharpened my lawn mower blade... you name its there. I used this with my B&D RTX and 8846 chuck and it works great! Its worth it, get it!

I have not had the opportunity to use the accessories as of yet, but I am anxious to do so. I do have several small delicate projects for which I will be using the Dremel tool and some of the accessories.

The Dremel 710-02 160 pieces is worth the money. It was delivered promptly. However, my complaint is that I was looking for accessories for the Dremel trio and this product was suggested. It is the WRONG accessories. And I am very disappointed because it was a Christmas gift. I was embarrassed because Amazon recommended the wrong product. Going through the return was a hassle. - Attachments - Corded Rotary Tools - Hobby Tool - Rotary Tool Accessories'
