Bluetooth Mouse - microsoft, mouse

I've had this mouse for a couple of weeks and am very satisfied with it. There was no software installation. I simply plugged the wireless receiver into an available USB port, put a "AA" size battery in the mouse, and turned on the computer. The mouse started working just as Windows XP finished loading.

It may be a little small for really large hands, but it fits my hand (medium-size male) perfectly with my palm resting on a mouse pad for comfort. In fact, it feels better than most I've had in the past (desktop or laptop). And the mouse fits into a side packet of a laptop case very nicely. As others have pointed out, the USB receiver fits into the bottom of the mouse when traveling.

The buttons are shapped well, as are the rubber side grips. The two large buttons feel solid, but the center scroll button is a little noisy and doesn't feel as well made. But, that center button works as well as the other two.

Since I've only had it a couple of weeks, I don't know how long the "AA" battery will last yet. However, I'm using my laptop mainly as a desktop, used many hours each day, and the original battery is still going strong. To insert the battery, press the silver button directly below the "Microsoft" logo and the top pops off (the release button is designed to look decorative). At that point, one will immediately see the battery holder.

The wireless feature works flawlessly. In fact, if one had really good eyes, one could operate the computer from the other side of a room. Yes, I've actually tried that, with the mouse moving the cursor around the screen with no problems.

I just read one of the other reviews where a lag was mentioned. I've seen nothing of this. In fact, after reading that review, I sat here moving the mouse slowly, quickly, tiny movements, short movements, long movements, and so on, with no noticeable lag. The cursor moves exactly as the mouse moves.

All in all, I think anyone would be satisfied with this mouse.

---

UPDATE: I wrote the above in February 2005 and have continued to use the mouse since (now Aug 2006). It is still performing well and the battery mentioned in the review above lasted through about 2.5 months of routine everyday use. I have since purchased a second mouse for my desktop computer, which is also working fine after about four months. The following is in response to issues raised by other reviewers.

To Edwin A. Pell III (New York), the mouse fits identically in either a left or right hand. To reverse the buttons, open the "Mouse" control panel and select "other pointing devices" in the drop-down menu listing your laptop's touchpad.

Again, to anyone wanting to ADJUST MOUSE SETTINGS, use the "other pointing devices" selection in the "Mouse" control panel.

To A. Mazakov (Fairfax, VA), the mouse is not sealed shut. The screws are located under the four black adhesive feet on the bottom of the mouse. Pry the feet off with a knife and stick them back on when finished with your modification.

To Denis Dolgachev (Ann Arbor, MI), you do not have to disconnect the mouse each night. The mouse enters a battery saving mode when no movement is detected for some time, allowing batteries to last upwards of two to three months (depending on usage) with a continous connection. In other words, you really only need to disconnect the mouse when you want to move or store the computer.

Those mentioning lags, delays, or choppy movement should check the "Mouse" control panel settings or for things interfering with USB devices. When setup and operating properly, there is no latency behavior whatsoever with this mouse. Movements are fine and precise. The only normal delay is in the split second when the mouse recovers from the battery saving mode after periods of inactivity. Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate

I'm a computer junkie, i have to admit that I fall for every gadget and gimmick that comes along when it comes to computer hardware. This was no exception. I recently picked up a new laptop and thought i'd compliment it with a new mouse. Whilst shopping, I noticed this little fellow on sale and thought what a great idea... the usb transmitter snaps in to the bottom of the mouse (also shuts it off so its not burning up the battery). Unfortunately the store that I spotted it at had sold out! I asked the clerk and he said the things were flyin off the shelves. Figured it must be worth a look so I went a few doors down to a competitor and found one.

Great thing about buying hardware from the evil empire (Microsoft), is that it pretty much all works without downloading new drivers. Plugged the USB transmitter in, snapped the included single AA battery in the mouse (its located under the top cover btw if you dont like reading instructions like me), and it fired to life. Nice smooth tracking, worked on all surfaces i tested except for the actual screen of my laptop.. hehe

All I cared about was to have an ultra-portable mouse that was wireless and worked well. I got the great bonus of, good price, easy to install, great function, perfect compatability. If it had two tumb buttons for fwd/back on web browsing, i'd write microsoft a thank you letter.

My second wireless optical moue after Logitech 931152-0403 Cordless Optical Mouse. Much better than the Logitech mouse as it lighter and "soft"buttons.

Highly recommended for laptops. Even though it has a "connect" button, never had to use it. Just plug and play installation. No need to download/install drivers. Used it with Win 2000 and Win XP.

Pros ::

* Solid responsive mouse

* Soft buttons

* Cordless so no tangled wires around you

* Optical so can be used on ( just about ) any surface

* Small USB receiver

* * Used it, without any issues, with my wireless internet connection

* Easy to replace batteries

* Single AA battery

Cons ::

* Might be small for a person with large hands &/or long fingers

* NO carrying case. Even though the adapter fits *in* the mouse. It could help to have a carrying case as well.

* Not aware of any way to program the "buttons" ( for "left handed" persons ) - Microsoft Wireless Mouse - Laptop Mouse - Microsoft - Mouse'

looking at this product with the pictures that the creator used doesnt let you see what this sign is really made of. the sign itself cost me $14.99 plus $5.58 shipping & handling for a total of $20.57 and yes thats the price for standard shipping but after waiting for like 8 days i finally received the sign, and on the upper right hand side of the big envelope it read $1.22 US postage First-class what did they do with the remaing $4.36 anyways the sign looked like a joke, it was a print out!!! from a printer that needed black ink because you can see all the other colors had to band together to create a fake black. the sheet that had the camera print out was kind of flimsy so two of those sheets were used and they sandwiched a thin foam like thing in between the two flimsy sheets. the only good thing about this was that i did get the three free decals for windows or what not, but there was a big problem on how they work... they can only be stuck on the outside so if anyone decides to tear them down well they CAN, and in the las vegas heat they are wrinkling up and the corners keep becoming lose. i gave it 3 stars because im keeping them just to see how long they last. im not asking for my money back or anything like that, im just here to let some that want to purchase see what kind of "sign" this really is.

PS.

pictures will be up in a bit. SECURITY SURVEILLANCE SIGNS 1 Sign & 3 Free Decal video

I found this sign to be a bit stern for a daycare, but was unable to find anything I liked better. It wasn't that expensive, so I went ahead and purchased.

The sign itself is a fairly thick plastic, but could easily be ripped if not careful (or if vandalized).

Ultimately, we found some more pleasant signs elsewhere that simply said "Smile, you are on camera". Much more appropriate for a daycare.

The stickers, however, work very nicely on some of the around the way enterances.

This is a decent product that does what it's supposed to do. Stickers are pretty durable and sign is sturdy. Only problem I had was that my sign was bent when it arrived as it is packed in an envelope when it should be packed in cardboard or something more sturdy to protect it. I was able to bend it to it's original shape and all is well.

Plastic material seems solid, color is good, the graphic is a little 'loud' but overall I am happy with the sign. It came with 3 window decals that are scaled down duplicates of the sign. I've had this for about a month; At my house it will be in the line of direct Hawaiian sunlight from 8am to about 11am so I'm interested to see how it stands up'

50 Inch - plasma, panasonic 50 inch plasma

Visit Store Now !!

I ordered this from Amazon for $694 and I got $10 off with a coupon I had plus the shipping was free and they brought it right up into my apartment so all I had to do was install it. The install is very simple just screw it into the stand, plug in all the wires and then there is an automated setup process so you just pick your options along the way.

The stand feels very secure, it's a big black platform about 2'x1.5' with steal rods that go up inside the TV and screw in, there are 3 screws in each rod that connect it to the platform and 2 in each that connect it to the TV. I was able to do all that by myself but just barely and I'm a pretty big guy so considering the size and weight of the TV it should be at least a 2 man job.

If you get the version with the built in Ethernet adapter you can connect to your Netflix, Pandora, Napster and a number of other sites to watch or listen to whatever you want.

Then of course the inputs, 2 HDMI, an SD Card reader, 1xRCA and 1xRCAHD, of course read the specs carefully because there are different versions of this same TV (i.e. one version with an Ethernet adapter and 1 without and there might be one that is also 3D ready but it might be more expensive then the one I'm reviewing)

The color and picture are beautiful, I play a lot of video games so picture quality was important to me, if you're a gamer this TV is for you. I play halo on Xbox 360 and one of my biggest issues was ghosting (when you look around too quickly and everything blurs) with this TV that issue is almost completely taken care of, there is still some blur but it's extremely mild.

As for the picture quality being 720p...well there a lot of people who will say a lot of stuff when it comes to the differences between 720p, 1080p, 720i and 1080i and I can only speak from experience but I do have a 23" computer monitor that is 1080p and I tried to play the same things on there that I did on the TV (and I have a very good computer with a high end graphics card) and yes I know it isn't a perfect test but it's the best I could do and from what I could tell there was very little difference. So in my opinion for the size, quality and price it's a very good deal.

The only real problem with it that I've noticed so far is that if you get too close things look...grainy almost like you can see black spots everywhere on it however if you are even 1ft away you can't see them at all and considering it's 50" I hope you're sitting at least 1ft away lol. Panasonic VIERA TC-P50X3 50-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV

This is my 2nd Panasonic plasma display and the quality of the picture is absolutely great. This TV gets 4 stars because the display has a glossy finish and not a matte finish. This matters in any room that has windows or lamps. You'll see the reflection of these light sources on the TV screen. Honestly I have no idea why anyone would want a glossy screen over a matte screen.

This is a 720p resolution TV, which is why the price seems low for a 50 inch TV. 1080p sounds great but in reality most folks are not watching _true_ 1080p content. Even with a lot of bluray content, the original content was a lower resolution (often DVD 480p) and it was simply rescanned into 1080p for the bluray disk. If you really want a 1080p TV, go for it of course. There is some true 1080p content out there and it looks great if you have a 1080p TV.

I purchased the P50X3 over a month ago so now I can give a fair review. Overall, for the price of the TV and size (50'), you can't get much better then this. I own another Panasonic Plasma (400U) and to compare picture quality, pretty much on par. The fact its 720p really makes no difference IMO. I play Blu Ray movies and unless you are completely picky about minute subtle differences, you really can't tell a difference. I have not yet had a chance to hook up this TV to my network for use with Netflix, but I have used my laptop with Netflix via HDMI and the quality of video is decent. My only "issues" with the TV is there is a slight glare I can notice at times. However, this is somewhat dependent on the location of my TV in the room with light and windows. My other "knock" is the sound quality compared to my other older Panasonic. My 400U Panasonic had amazing sound and I was hoping for similar sound with this TV. Now, I'm not saying the sound is bad, but it doesn't compare to my older model. It is still good (7 out of 10) versus (10 out of 10) of the other. In conclusion, if you are looking for a large HDTV for under $800, I would recommend this TV.

Thanks Amazon, for doing such a great job with my most recent purchase. I had never bought anything so large and costly by mail before, but now I'm a believer! Fast free delivery and outstanding price. The TV works fantastic and all my friends were quite impressed with how flawless this order was filled and delivered. The picture quality is very good and the TV looks well built. Lots of features that are on more expensive models are on this model as well. I'm a very satisfied customer and I wont hesitate next time I'm looking for a large item and I want the best deal in town.

TV was as described. Original one came with a broken screen however delivery crew repackaged and shipped back to amazon at no charge. Received a refund and reordered. Second TV came and works great!

My toddler loves >and I mean LOVES< watching all his HD pre-school shows on this big screen. The colors are very bright, the image sharp and the sound is superb. It has a media menu that I found to be very useful considering that I enjoy listening to Pandora radio, watching movies on Netflix and so forth I dont even need my computer to access all these pages I can sign up directly from my TV without the need of extra cables whatsoever :) Very nice!

I purchased my set in June, 2011 it's the beginning of September now and my set has worked for maybe three weeks altogether.

I had a TIVO HD connected to HDMI 1 and my computer to HDMI 2. These were the same connections that I used successfully on a Sony TV for three years. I worked fine for two weeks and then it stopped. I called Panasonic Service and they sent out a repair crew (from Tampa..a 200 mile round trip instead of using a local repair firm) and they told me that the main board had burned out. They said that Panasonic would send the replacement board to me and when I got it to call them and they would come back to install it...which they did.

One week later the main board burned out again. Now Panasonic has the nerve to tell me that it is my TIVO unit that is burning out the boards. They say that it is very common for any cable box or satellite receiver to burn out HDMI sockets. They said that they would replace the board this time but my warranty would be void after that. I was told to call a local repair company for service. The new company came and picked up my set to repair. They called me a week later and told me that Panasonic had changed their mind and would not pay for the repair and if I wanted it done it would cost me almost $400. I told them not to do the repair and they said that I still owed them $60. I will pay them the $60 just for the satisfaction on taking a hammer to that piece of junk.

In the mean time I had hooked up a 32" Sanyo that I moved from our kitchen with the same connections and again they worked fine. They are still working fine today. The problem is NOT with my TIVO unit. The problem is with the Panasonic set...and with Panasonic employees.

My advice....stay away from Panasonic products. Their customer service sucks!!! - 720p - Hdtv - Panasonic 50 Inch Plasma - Plasma'

Spout Protector - baby, bath safety

Visit Store Now !!

There are many nice things about this product but I would not recommend it if:

- you do not have a drain lever on your faucet, it just slides off

- your bathroom is even remotely susceptible to mildew. Ours is, and the rubber inside Flo seemed to breed it instantly like nothing else. This wouldn't be an enormous problem - except Flo did not clean at all, even with Tilex and taking it apart to go at all its nooks with a toothbrush. Soaking it on the window ledge in near 100% bleach for 6 hours seems to be the only thing that worked. Sort of strange for a product designed to be used in a wet environment. Boon Inc. Flo Water Deflector, Faucet Cover With Bubble Bath Dispenser Watermelon

First the bad : we have a standard Moen tub faucet. The Flo doesn't *quite* sit right on the faucet, so we have to play with it a bit to get all the water to go down the slope, rather than out the back of the Flo. But it's not really a big deal, just takes a bit of adjusting.

The good : My daughter (11 months old) loves to play with the water coming from the faucet. The Flo allows her to sit a little further back (thus sparing me stress every time she gets a little tippy!), and she also really delights in the waterfall effect. When she gets older, I think the bubble bath dispenser will be more appreciated.

Speaking of which, other reviewers have mentioned the bubble bath leaking out -- I have seen a few drops in the "scoop" under the faucet, but nothing major. It's been on a week, and I've yet to need to refill it.

I haven't had any problems with mess with this either. Even when I didn't have it adjusted just right and water was washing backwards under the faucet, it didn't go everywhere, it just ran down the tub side (INSIDE the tub).

If it wasn't for the slightly finicky adjustment necessary, I'd have given this 5 stars!

If this would fit my oversized faucet, I'd be giving it all 5 stars! I think it's a great product, and my kids loved it...while I had the patience to hold it onto our faucet. Unfortunately, that grew old rather quickly, and now it's in the box awaiting our move to a new house--hopefully one with a more modern and dainty bathtub faucet. Go to the Boon Inc website, and you can find info on the faucet type that the Flo will fit. They have a new design that will fit more narrow faucets more tightly now (tighter spring); unfortunately that doesn't help me...

I gave it 4 stars because it's not entirely the fault of the product that it doesn't fit MY faucet.

The Boon Flo didn't fit right on my tub faucet so I bought some silicon tape (which does not leave a sticky residue) and went around the faucet over and over until it created a donut like shape around the faucet. Then I placed the Boon Flo on the tape. It worked during my testing so I'm hoping it will work permanently.

This is a really neat device that slips over your tub faucet to create a waterfall effect! It is good for rinsing out shampoo in the tub, and it's just plain fun, my daughter (age 6) thinks it's delightful. BUT on the first use it slid down and fell off of the faucet within seconds. Our tub faucet is an average-sized rectangular Delta, nothing unusual. We've rigged it with some rubber bands, which works. But it would be much improved with some kind of clamp to secure it, or way to tighten it on.

Would be a 5-star rating, but it doesn't fit perfectly on our faucet. It slides back when you try to push the bubble-bath button, but overall we're pleased with it. It's great for keeping the little ones from bumping their heads on the sharp faucet and all the rubber duckie faucet covers we had tried wouldn't fit. Would buy again.

I liked this faucet cover, but I recently had to throw it away. For a disposable product, I think it is overpriced.

CONS:

-This spout cover it IMPOSSIBLE to clean. I even tried putting it in the dishwasher and it came out looking just as gross as it went in. Disgusting mold grows in every crack and crevice and it won't come off.

-The "soap dispenser" is pathetic. It never worked quite right, I thought it was unnecessary (really, how hard is it to dump in some bubble bath?) and it leaked. I was not that disturbed by it until after I quit using it. The flap on the top would come open on it's own and water would get inside and get trapped in there. Then, at bath time, old gross water would leak out on me or my son. Ew.

-While this cover did fit on my faucet (no pull up for the shower) it was very easy for my son to pull off which he frequently delighted in doing. If you want this cover for safety against bumps and bruises, this is not the best feature.

-Overpriced for the frequency with which this item would have to be replaced to keep it clean.

PROS:

-I did like the deflector feature of this spout, which produced a nice "waterfall" effect in our tub and made shampoo rinsing with no cup and clean water easy. My son also liked to play in the waterfall.

-This cover stayed out of the way of the other handles in our tub.

Overall, I would not buy this product again.

Like most other reviewers, I found that this cover did not fit all faucets. It fit in my home just fine, though it was a little loose, and my daughter easily pulled it off. But it didn't fit over the faucet at my parents home, and it is not a particularly large faucet. That's only a 50% batting average for me.

But when it does fit, it provides a beautiful cascade of water which my husband, myself, and my daughter loves. And you can leave it on at all times, rather than other protective faucet covers which must be removed for filling the tub and placed back on. And because of the unusual shape, my daughter thrilled in pulling it off the faucet and bringing it into the living room to play with for the first few weeks we had it.

I love the concept of the bubble bath dispenser, but our pediatrician has strongly advised against bubble baths for girls as the soap dries out the skin and has been known to cause urinary tract infections or skin irritations in the genital areas. Just a tip for any other parents of little girls out there.

UPDATE 4 MONTHS LATER: Steer clear of this product. I regret that Amazon does not let me edit the original star rating, but this does not deserve any more than one star. How can a product that is DESIGNED to get wet not be mold-resistant? I had this sitting on my faucet for the last few months, I took it off one day on a whim and there is black mold growing inside. I dumped it in a bucket of bleach solution and used a grout scrubber to try to get it off to no avail. And it doesn't even come apart, so even if the scrubbing helped, I couldn't get into all sorts of crevices. These ppl need to go back to product research. - Baby - Bath - Bathing - Bath Safety'

I have owned and used almost every grease gun available over the years. I own and operate heavy machinery and have to grease dozens of fittings daily. This alemite cordless gun is by far the best way to do it. The 14 volt last a long time. The long 36" hose is very handy. But most importantly the gun does not air lock! You pull the trigger and grease comes out. Super quality and construction. I also shopped this pretty hard and amazon was the best best price by far. I found the same gun selling for a hundred dollars more other places. Alemite 14.4 Volt Cordless Grease Gun #585-B

Knife Set With Block - stainless steel, knife set

Visit Store Now !!

I am simply amazed at what people consider quality. If you look at most of these reviews they are basing the quality of these knives if they have rusted. One even called it cheap because it rusted.

Folks, these are forged knives made from 420 steel. You can only go up one more step in quality and retain the same hardness without using exotic metal processes. Low quality cutlery is generally made out of grades like 409 and 430.

Here's how it works. The sharpest knife is made out of high carbon steel. High carbon steel is the hardest and therefore also keeps its sharp edge longer. The more carbon in steel the more it is going to rust. Something with a lot of carbon is a standard metal shop file... the type of file that you use to sharpen you garden tools. Leave it out in the rain and you'll have more rust than you ever imagined. Most likely that same file is the hardest (and highest tempered) metal you'll ever hold in your hands.

To prevent rust you add chromium. The more you add the less it will rust. Once you add over 13% chromium you are legal to say you have "stainless steel." The only problem with adding chromium is the steel can not be tempered as hard. Chromium also adds "gumminess" (relative to hard steel) which makes sharpening difficult because it is like trying to sharpen chewed bubble gum. IOW, under a microscope you'd see little pieces that extend to the left and right instead to a fine point. You know, like the bubble gum stuck to the bottom of your shoes in a parking lot.

420 steel keeps the chromium level as close to 13% as possible. Why? So the steel can be hardened. Hardness is measured on a scale called the Rockwell Hardness scale. This steel can go up to a RC56 hardness. Henckels FourStar only goes up to a RC58.

Some Damascus knives go up to RC60 but they can cost upwards of $1,200 per set. They also tell you to "hand wash only." Why? Simply so they won't rust since you'll quickly get them dried after hand washing.

Some of the finest butchering knives are made by Sheffield and have been making knives since the Middle Ages. They really became popular starting around the 1600's. For butchers they have two types of knives; hardened carbon steel and if you are one not to take care of your knives they will sell you the same model in 420 stainless steel. Six steak knives will cost you about $350.00 if you can't afford the butcher's knife.

I lost my fine Henckels in a divorce and replaced them with a less expensive model of Henckels. I was disappointed that they were not rusting in the dishwasher. What that meant to me was the steel isn't as hard as my old Henckels.

But yes, if you want to spend a lot more and get Henckels they may not rust quite as much and they will be a harder knife. That's because you move into a much more expensive stainless steel that contains molybdenum and vanadium. You will also get a sticker that tells you to hand wash. If you ever watch professional cooks you'll see that they have a dish towel tucked at their waist. They will use this repeatedly to wipe their knives. Why? So food will not stick to the knives, dry and make a rust spot.

I will never 'hand wash' a knife unless I plan on using it in a few moments. I don't care what they say about not using a dishwasher. It is so very, very easy to remove rust from knives. Just use your Comet. I like to use Bar Keepers Friend. It does the same as Comet but designed to remove rust and shine stainless steel. A couple of wipes gets rid of the stain or rust.

Don't forget this is Stain Less, not never-stain, never-rust. Ginsu 14-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Block Set, with Black Block

I bought these knives(the steak knives), because I am left handed and most knives are serrated only on one side - so cutting is really unsafe - the knife cuts to one side. These are serrated on both sides and cut straight. Very sharp though - take care. I love them. Sleek design and I've received so many compliments on them. Much better than more expensive knives I've tried (and had to donate to charity). Wonderful!

These knives are amazing for the price. you can't beat it! they are sturdy, cut amazingly well, never need to be sharpened and i haven't had any problems with rust! I never put them in the dishwasher because i know that they would probably start to rust. its so easy just to hand wash them. Nothing will stick the to blade so its an easy rinse wipe and your done!! For anyone looking to buy great knives but don't want to spend a lot of dough, this is the buy for sure!

I've owned this set for a few months now, replacing a cheaper set of Farberware, and am highly-satisfied. They are attractive, well-made, have a nice heft, and continue to cut well without sharpening (which is one of the primary reasons I purchased them). Though dishwasher-safe, I have chosen to wash them by hand to both preserve the edge and eliminate any possibility of corrosion. Another tip I picked up is to place the knives in the block upside-down, so that you're not pulling the blade across wood every time you remove them. I don't do this with all of them, as it didn't look very aesthetic, but do with the three in the middle (utility knives) which get used the most. A very nice set, well worth the money, just what I was looking for.

I wasn't so sure about the "As seen on TV" name of Ginsu. I was worried that I would be getting flimsy, light weight knives, boy was I mistaken!! These knives have a nice heavy weight to them, and are not flimsy at all. They are very sharp right out of the box...I even have a cut on my finger to prove it! I am very satisfied with the look of this set, and have used them in the dishwasher without a problem. I have learned from other knives that if you use a little scouring powder such as Bon-Ami on spotted knives they will clean right up. I've not had to do that with this set yet. I am very pleased with this set, and couldn't imagine having knives that were any sharper! - Stainless Steel - Knife Set - Knife - Knife Set With Block'

Ankle Length

Visit Store Now !!

I've been wearing leggings for years, and am alway looking for something that's comfortable and will withstand the test of time. Don't know yet if these leggings will last (since I just got them), but they appear to be well-made. As other reviewers point out, these leggings are on the thin (material) side, but I actually like that. I'm thinking I can wear these through more seasons, not just winter. One thing that surprised me, though, was the shipping cost. While the leggings are a great deal at at less than 10 bucks each, the shipping cost (to my home in Ohio) was $7.95. Womens Cotton Spandex Leggings by Athletica in Black, Medium

I bought my leggings from Lands End for years, but they recently stopped carrying them. It has been very difficult to find a replacement anywhere, until I tried these out of desperation. They are a very suitable replacement at about 1/3 the price.

I wore a medium from Lands End and the medium size of this product fits perfectly. These are longer than the Lands End leggings and that's good for me. These have 2% less spandex, but have plenty of stretch and recovery. These are not as heavy, but look great and appear to be just as durable.

I'm giving these the top rating because the value is good. At this price I can order in large quantities and always have nice leggings at hand.

Made in America. Priced right. Perfect thickness and tight fit. Excellent for working out, yoga, pilates, around the house or even for layering. They are basic but they are not cheaply made or lacking quality.

cons: I wish the color selection was better and that they made complementing tank tops, sports bras, shorts or calf length pants.

A friend once told me that being a tall is worse than being a petite because I can always shorten pants, but you cannot make extra fabric to lengthen hems that fall above one's ankles? Well I can recommend these leggings for those fabric challenged tall gals.

I usually buy a small, even though I have a slightly stocky build--okay, let's face it my waist is about three-quarters-of-an-inch long. So not only would the standard sized legging in a medium be long at the ankle, but the top portion would fit me like those grandpa pants that seem to be swallowing the torso.

The small in these fit me fine from waist to crotch, but there is plenty of fabric to spare in the leg length. So I would say that a medium would be perfect for a medium tall.

I wish the fabric were thicker like the leggings I have found in the past. However, since it is hard to find any leggings at all these days, at ten bucks a pair, I will hang onto these leggings, and wear them into the ground until they are relegated to painting pants.

I just bought these, have worn and washed once. So far so good. they are a little light weight, but I got them to wear under long tops, sweaters and skirts, so that is fine. they fit very nice. I have a problem with things being too short from waist to crotch, these fit. They are also long enough in the leg. I am happy with them and hope they hold up for a long time!

Great value for the price: they fit well, wear well, and are a steal at around $10. I would give these 5 stars if they were a little thicker, although they are thick enough and elastic enough to hide any dimples and wiggles.

THE FIT:

Nice and long in the leg (I am 5'4" with a 30" inseam and I can pull them down under my heels if I want). These fall below the waist, which isn't my preference, but I knew that from the picture when I bought them.

LONG WEARING

I have owned these leggings in black for nearly a year now, and they are still in great shape and unfaded after months of my wearing them while exercising and crawling on the floor after my kids. They also show no signs of shrinkage after drying in the dryer.

Though these pants aren't the warmest for cold weather by themselves, they are great for layering and hopefully summer wear. The material is not too thick and not too thin, and it fits comfortably - not tight at all. The waistband is very snug, and the shipping was very fast... most likely the reason for the high shipping and handling costs.'
