Excellent Value - 42 inch, 240hz


I've purchased a number of HD sets for myself and for friends over the last few years. When my Samsung 46" DLP bit the dust (CPU) a few weeks ago, I wanted to replace it with Samsung 46" LED 3D set, but could not fit it into my wall unit or into my budget. I came across the Vizio sets in Costco and bought this set the day they were unpacked onto the shelves. The 42" fits perfectly into the 42" wall unit. The fact that it had speakers on the front of the unit and most plasma and other flat screens I looked at did not, also was a big plus given my space was a 3 foot deep box meant for a traditional TV. I actually returned a Panasonic and LG set of the same size for that reason.



The extra $500 for this set was well worth it for the additional features that I use today and will use in the future. I bought it for the 480hz refresh rate and the built in WiFi and Bluetooth radios as well as the compatability with my wireless N router. It streams HD Video almost instantly with no buffer pauses at all. The universal remote/keyboard with bluetooth connectiviity is also a big plus. Setup was a breeze. My only complaint was having to spend an hour or so adjusting the picture settings to get the color and brightness just where I wanted it. Sound quality is good, but hooking the Digital Optical cable to your stereo makes for a very high quality experience. The Internet Apps are great. I hooked up my Amazon, Pandora, Netflix and Facebook accounts in a matter of minutes and I'm really impressed with how it handles them.



My only real complaint is the lack of ACtive Shutter 3D glasses. The Real 3D ones you get in theaters do not work on any 3D broadcasts from DirecTV and I"m not about to spend an additional $200 for the Active Shutter ones to play with that technology. In a year, when it's more prevalent, I know I'll have a BluRay player with 3D titles and I also know Vizio supports all known 3D standards out there right now.



A great set that keeps getting better with each day of exploration. VIZIO XVT3D424SV 42-Inch Full HD 3D Edge Lit Razor LED with Smart Dimming LCD HDTV 480 Hz SPS with VIZIO Internet Apps

Coming from an "old" 720p Panasonic plasma, I had high hopes for this TV and boy did it deliver. Action scenes are very fluid, the colors are crisp, HD sports broadcasts are a crisp and clear. The internet apps are pretty neat, especially the twitter application which overlays the broadcasts you are watching so you can tweet without missing the action. The bluetooth remote is very convenient, however the lack of lighting on the remote makes it difficult to type in the dark. It is very light weight and very easy to set up with an easy to follow set up guide as well as on screen instructions to get you going. I bought this mainly for 3D gaming and it does not disappoint! Super Stardust HD in 3D is the perfect game to showcase 3D gaming. The glasses are comfortable, easy to use, but expensive. I'm hoping the prices drop soon as I'd love to have people over to watch ESPN 3D.



I am very satisfied with this TV, but there are a few areas where it falls short. The best audio out method available on the TV is via Optical out. This means DTS-MA is a no go. I really wish Vizio had added an HDMI audio pass through on this TV. Screen glare is an issue with this TV; you don't get the best picture unless the lighting is behind the TV or completely off. The TV has 3 USB ports, but you can't use them. It would've been great if this TV had some sort of DLNA or picture/music/video viewer to allow you to stream movies or plug in a USB drive to show your media. Hopefully a firmware update fixes that, but I'm not holding my breath.



Overall I'm glad with this purchase. If Vizio would've fixed the glare issue and added HDMI audio out, this would be *the* perfect TV.

I purchased this TV to replace a 3 year old Magnivox LCD that developed a dark spot right after the first year of course. I don't like the way the 480 hz looks unless I'm playing my PS3, but luckily you can turn that feature off. The picture is outstanding, it was dark but it turns out it was because the ambient light sensor. Turned that off and the picture just seemed to POP and it looks amazing. The audio is great on the TV, I had purchased the VHT510 for the Magnivox and I almost don't need it with this TV, but of course still use it for the surround sound. The only little quirk I noticed was the widget gallery didn't have any widgets in it, I called VIZIO tech support and they walked me through a quick process of resetting the TV and it works like a charm now. I do recommend that you have at least a 10 Mb connection if you decide to use the widgets, you'll have a much smoother experience watching Netflix and Vudu. As far as connecting it to my ancient Linksys router, it was simple and easy. I use WPA security encryption and no problems connecting. I really haven't utilized the 3D aspect of the TV yet so stay tuned for that review, I apologize I'm sure more people care about that aspect than any other. All in all, I don't think you'll find a better 42" especially one that includes 3D for this price.

I bought this TV about six weeks ago (two of them, actually... for different rooms) and was very excited about it. The picture looks great and it is a very feature-rich TV. However, one of the TVs is notorious for shutting off and resetting itself after about an hour of viewing.



After owning it for two weeks, I contacted Vizio customer service and was informed this was a known problem and it would be fixed shortly with a firmware update. I decided to give them a chance to get this firmware update out to see if it resolved the problem. After about a month of waiting for the firmware update(and living with a TV that loves to turn itself off and back on at inopportune moments)I contacted Vizio again. I also informed them that the remote was periodically freezing up (controlling not only the TV, but other devices, too), along with the controls on the TV itself, forcing me to unplug the TV to shut it off. I was given the same answer as before... the TV is supposed to do this and there is going to be a firmware update to fix this with the release date unknown.



I am very disappointed in Vizio's quality control and customer service in regards to this TV. It is very apparent to me that there is something wrong with one of the TVs but Vizio does not feel that they need to address the problems in a timely manner. Very disappointing in regards to what would otherwise be a incredible television. It's a shame to have to return them.... - 240hz - 1080p Lcd Hdtv - 42 Inch - Excellent Value'

India Fashion


This book goes into great detail about the costumes shown in the available period sources. The author is careful to point out when a figure is mythological or a deity and so is not a reliable source for what people were wearing. The book's major fault is that it assumes a great deal of familiarity with Indian dress. If the reader is not familiar with all of the Indian terms for clothing items, it is a little hard to understand.Also, most of the pictures are the author's line drawings of the original artworks. So the reader must rely on his interpertations. Fashion Styles of Ancient India: A Study of Kalinga from Earliest Times to Sixteenth Century Ad'

Signal Boosters - boosters, cell booster


WORKS



A couple things to bear in mind:

* The magnetic antenna needs to be grounded on something metal for it to work.

* The phone must be set inside the cradle at all times, so you'll need a bluetooth headset so you're not holding the whole contraption with multiple wires up to your face.



It boosted my sprint signal about 2-3 bars on average depending on antenna placement and how well it was grounded. Wilson Electronics 815226 Sleek Cell Phone Signal Cradle Booster for All Cell Phones with Mini Magnet Mount Antenna - For Single User

I just moved into a new office cube at the first floor of an old building. The entire area where I am at is considered a giant dead zone due to the high wireless head set activity. I used to get no signal from AT&T, period. Once I bought this item, I was anxious to try it out since I received the product over a long weekend. Oh my!! this thing gets FIVE BARS!! no kidding. I am rediscovering the iPhone I love in a dead zone. The only negative I can think of is the fact that the phone has to be on the cradle at all times to get signal. This is fine by me as I do not move around with the phone when I am at work. Thank you Wilson !!!!

My new office at work has terrible reception. Constantly dropped calls or the voice drop-outs made communicating impossible. Ordered this hoping it would solve the problem. It did. Double the signal strength in my office. Now my calls are crystal clear. I also purchased their 'office adapter kit' which came with a suction cup antenna mount and 110v charger. Inadvertently ordered the wrong one. The antenna mount works great, but came with the wrong charger. No big deal, I have an extra USB charger or use my laptop. Both work. If you do order the office kit make sure you order the one with the correct charger. The cradle itself is easy to use, seems very robust. I'm very please with this purchase. Worth every penny. Way to go Wilson. Amazon had the best price and free shipping. Can't beat that.

I rarely review items, but this I can't pass on. When I got my first cell phone I was hoping that I'd be able to drop my land line and just have one phone bill. However, I live in "the boonies" and cell reception is iffy, so that idea was tabled. I've upgraded my cell phone a few times and now have a smartphone. I love the phone, but my home signal is still the same. Periodically I'd check to see if booster technology had evolved to where I could benefit at a RESONABLE price. When I saw the ad for this product it sounded too good to be true. I'm a skeptic, but willing to give somethings a try. When I found it on Amazon I figured I'd give it a try and if it didn't work, then I'd return it (returns to Amazon have always been hassle free for me...). Well, no worry - IT WORKS AS ADVERTISED!!! With the home adapter kit I now have 4 full bars on my BB Storm. Before I was lucky to have one bar. And I'm NOT exaggerating. The only downside is that I have to use my bluetooth headset because the phone has to remain in the cradle, which would make it pretty awkward to use. But, for me, that's no big problem, as I'm used to using bluetooth when I'm traveling, so it isn't a deal breaker. This will be my LAST month of paying for a separate land line (in 4 months this product will have paid for itself). I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who lives in cell phone fringe reception areas and would like to drop their land line. Oh, and it's simple to shift it into the car for on-the-road signal boosting, where it also shines.

As an Insurance Agent I often travel in East Texas, Western Louisiana and SE Texas. Verizon Wireless coverage isn't complete, and if you have to travel off of the beaten track at all - most roads in the country - you won't be able to keep a call up with your cell phone and a 3 dB gain antenna on top of your car. I purchased this Wilson unit, partly because I have used Wilson Ham Radio antennas and equipment for better than 20-years, so I have "brand loyalty". The Sleek works in all areas I have been to since I got the 815226 with the stock 3 dB mag mount antenna. No drop outs, often 4 to 5 bars where I had NO SIGNAL with the cell phone/external 3 dB antenna just a week or so before I had to go back to the same area to see clients. For a business man this solves the issue ... I have also let an AT&T user with an iPhone use the unit when his didn't work and mine did....and he got through also. Fixes the failure of the TELCO Wireless providers to complete the build-out in thinly populated areas, recommend anyone with drop-out and no-signal issues try this before taking a more expensive route.

So I live in a Sprint low zone, note I say low zone not dead zone. I needed some help in boosting my signal strength on my Hero. after looking around at several different options for home and car boosting of signals, I decided on the Sleek by Wilson. I am glad that i made that choice, However with that said there are a couple of things that is keeping it from being a 5 star review.



1st, there is the lack of an AC adapter that comes with the product. Yes I know I can order a house kit from Wilson or even amazon, but when it's claimed that it will help improve home coverage near the booster, then an ac jack should be included instead of just using USB.



2nd, and this is the only reason that I'm not giving it a 5 star review, and it's the indoor coverage. I hooked up the mini-mag antenna that came with the product and it didn't do a whole lot for me, now preface that with the fact that I put the antenna up inside right in front of the window and hooking the antenna up outside the window could improve conditions. I will say this, my house was built back in the late 60's to withstand an f5 tornado, it can block out a lot of signals, so YMMV on indoors.



now the good parts. after not working so well inside I tried hooking it up in my pickup. Man what a difference. Without the sleek I would normally have 1 or 2 bars at best in my driveway with db ranges of -100 to -105. as soon as I plugged it in I quickly went to 4 bars, with db signals of -85 to -90. and it held up VERY well in coverage as I drove around our city and even out in the country where our signals was very poor at best without the sleek. I HIGHLY recommend the sleek to someone who is a traveler, and who doesn't want to spend $300-$400 dollars on a fancy setup to improve the reception. You can find the sleek from places on line as cheap as $75, cheaper than the $99.95 that Amazon charges. it works great in the truck, and I would never go again on a long trip without the sleek.



oh and one more thing, for traveling with the sleek I recommend using a bluetooth headset or somesort of hands free device, for 1 reason, it is VERY bulky to hold in your hand with the sleek kit and your phone. - Cell Booster - Cellular - Signal Boosters - Boosters'

Workout Gloves


I ordered these gloves in white because I wanted something different than black. They are excellent on helping to prevent callouses on my hands and the mesh is very breathable.



Sizing: They are on the small side. I used the measurements they provided and it said I was a medium. When they arrived they fit around the palm of my hand, but its tight around my wrist. Next time I will order a large. Valeo GMLF Women's Meshback Lifting Gloves (Medium)

I bought the white ones, which are rare to find, because I was tired of black gloves dying like crazy when washed.



These gloves are so comfy too! And even if you sweat your skin can breath.



Could not be happier!

I liked how they look.

I liked how they fit.

I really like that they are mesh. The small fit perfect and my hands didn't get sweaty while lifting like they do with other gloves.

That being said, I have had them for 3 weeks now, and they are starting to get very worn in. I am already looking for a new pair of gloves. I do serious lifting in the weight room, and they are not very durable.

If you are lifting smaller weights, or a beginner, I imagine these might last longer. If you are looking for real heavy-duty lifting gloves, then these are not for you.

I had purchased a pair of these gloves 15 years ago which bear the insigna "Bally." I wore these gloves for 15 years using strength resistance machines that were bare metal bars and/or handles. The gloves are comfortable, feminine, and a perfect fit, (I have very small hands, and usually wear a size 6 in ladies kid leather gloves; the Men's Size Small for this glove fits perfectly). My current pair are only now beginning to show wear on the interior palm area, but otherwise, all of the exterior leather and the crocheted top is still in perfect condition. In the 15 years I used these gloves at LA Fitness, I never got blisters or calluses on my fingers or hands. Since I am very meticulous about my work-out clothes and accessories, I am extremely happy I found these Valeo Leather Gloves again and purchased them without hesitation. For the price of these gloves, one is really getting a bargain. For all the ladies who want workout gloves that are feminine, comfortable, fit well, wear well, and look great, I highly recommend the Valeo Leather Gloves. There are no other leather workout gloves that come close to what the Valeo glove offers for the price.

The leather palms are very nice, but the cotton back can leave marks on your hands after a workout. I am pleased with the quality and how comfortable they are generally, but the back looks a bit too homemade, like my grandmother knitted them or something! I also wish they were beige/neutral white rather than white-white, since they stand out too much at the gym and get dirty easily.

I ordered these gloves for kettlebell classes that I take weekly. I wanted a low-key, breathable glove that would keep me from getting blisters at the tops of my palms, just below my fingers. These gloves do just the trick. The backing is netting that allows my hands to breath. The quality doesn't seem too expensive but that's probably because the netting is like thick string. Otherwise, the leather front and velcro strap are in good condition. Overall a good purchase.

I selected these gloves based on the color and mesh over the top of the hand. They are extremely comfortable, breath well, and are easy to put on and remove. I wanted white so they would look less masculine.'

Mens Belts - mens belts, leather belt


I bought this belt to replace a Wal-Mart $12 belt that was coming apart. This belt is noticeably nicer quality and the buckle does not rattle as much as the other one, but still rattles some. I had a nice belt from Men's Warehouse that lasted me years, and I would say the quality of this belt is comparable to that one.



The brown is a little lighter than I wanted, but still nice. I think it's lighter than the picture makes it look. Most reversible belts have the buckle screws and the imprinting on the brown side, but this one has it on the black side. But really it makes no difference since the belt covers it. The buckle finish looks very nice (my favorite part of the belt) and it doesn't look like it will peel or flake. The belt material itself is soft but firm. The picture looks like the brown side might be a course leather, but it's very smooth and the stitching is not very thick.



I bought the 38" and the length of this belt is about the same as the 38" Wal-Mart belt, if you are looking for comparison. I am about a 34" waist and the 38" belt wraps maybe 20% around my waist past the buckle, which is perfect for me.



Update March 7, 2011: I have been wearing this belt nearly every day for a year now, utilizing both sides. I think it still looks as good as the day it arrived. The leather looks perfect. The buckle finish is great. The mechanics are flawless. Seriously, I'm amazed at the durability of this belt. The buckle has not shown any signs of breakdown due to reversing it. I have had belts in the past where the buckle has come loose from the belt due to the pressure involved in reversing it, but this belt has no such issue. I would buy another one in a heartbeat, but it doesn't seem like it will ever wear out. Nautica Men's Reversible Belt,Brown/Black,32

I was hoping this would be a much softer leather. It's not. This is a very rigid belt with not a lot of flexibility. The photo makes it look like this belt bends easily; it doesn't. If you like a more sturdy belt then this might be really nice.



i also think the sizing is a bit off. I would rather have gone with a smaller size and used one of the last 2 holes instead of my size belt on the 4th hole.

I was not pleased with this belt. I bought it for my husband since he wanted both a black and a brown belt in one, and when he reversed it to the black color the material started to open up on the edges on his second use. I was disappointed and so was he. I was really hoping this was a nice product.

I'm holding the belt I received right here next to my non-calibrated LCD monitor at work, with the same impression that I had at home: the belt I received is darker that what's pictured, and has a purple hue to it (my wife came to a similar conclusion, saying "a bit of blue").



I also can't help but notice that the light-colored stitching in the Amazon photo is dark on the actual belt. Not black, mind you, just a dark brown punctuated by black stitching holes.



I was really hoping that this belt was true to what I see on my monitors, or even a touch lighter as one of the reviewers noted (though, in fairness, another reviewer said "darker!"). I suspect both could be correct, and there's just some color natural variations over successive production runs.



Between this and a recent jacket purchase on Amazon, I'm learning my lesson that I need to see these colors in person to judge accurately (in my defense, that supposedly blue coat I ordered was most definitely grey!!).



The belt is a bit more than 1/8" thick, and though it appears supple in the tightly wrapped coil as pictured, it actually quite rigid and even springy when squeezed while wrapped into a more typical 6" coil. The edges are completely black, with the exception of the brown stitches being slightly proud of the brown face and therefore being visible when viewed from the side, and the black side is entirely without visible stitching. The buckle is of good but not great weight (I've seen better, I've seen worse), and the "keeper loop" that the free end of the belt is tucked into is just a tiny bit thin with a bit of a sharp interior edge to it (that could eventually scrape the finish of the belt).



If I was purchasing this belt to wear with jeans or casual clothes, I'd probably keep it. But trying to match the hue of a pair of shoes I wear to work, I'm afraid, missed the mark by a good amount -- probably due as much to the color accuracy of my monitor as anything else. I hope Amazon doesn't think I'm abusing their return policy! I'm going to have to go pay extra at the store for this purchase, just to ensure I get the color I want.



...and just a quick that my 3-star rating is not based on the color disparity, but on my impressions of the overall quality of the belt & buckle compared to other belts I own.

High quality, durable leather make this nautical belt a classic and permanent addition to your wardrobe. Reversible from medium brown to black adds extra versatility. The brown side, which is shown in the picture, has an elegant stitching pattern that adds some class. The black side is stamped with the size near the buckle, not a feature I liked much, but when the belt is on, the extra that goes through the buckle and metal ring cover any unsightliness. I wear this everyday to a variety of free lance jobs that I do, from class rooms to board rooms, paired with jeans or a suit, this is a classic and versatile look that won't fade with time.

I purchased this belt for my husband for Christmas, so he hasn't worn it yet but it is well made and with the added bonus of it being reversible, I know he'll love it. He had one years ago and wore it out. I'm sure he'll do the same with this one. - Mens Belts - Nautica - Leather Belt'

Positive Placement Nails


I am a developer in Washington state. I use the Hitachi NR6AKS Positive Placement Nail gun for straps, ties, and hangers. I recently purchased two boxes of B & C Eagle Paper taped nails for over 150.00. I ran into two different problems with these nails.



1)As you fire each nail the paper holding that nail is not torn free and builds up in the nose of the gun. this causes the next couple of nails to caulk sideways in the gun and either misfire, not drive all the way, or completely jamb the gun.



2)The Paper separates form the nail clip causing the whole clip of nails to fall apart in the magazine of the gun. These nails were kept in a dry atmosphere and were still falling apart in the box.



These nails were not only expensive to purchase but are also costly in lost man hours. It is actually more cost effective to tear the paper off and use a hammer!! B & C Eagle 112X148/33 1-1/2-Inch by .148-Inch by 33 Degree Paper Tape Collated Positive Placement Nail (3,000 per Box)

These particular nails are hard to find in local lumber yards, home centers or hardware stores. It is good to know they are available here and in planning enough lead time are readily available. That said, they are very expensive and I feel the lack of availability keeps the price up. Just like the high price of gas - they have us over a barrel!'

Ipod Touch - iphone, ipod touch


In my opinion, this is the best iPhone/iPad stylus you can get. There is something really unique about the rubber tip that makes it slide along the screen very easily. I've tried other similar products, and they seem to stick to the screen making them kind of a pointless product, but this one doesn't do that at all. It's also AWESOME for playing games!!! I got my highest score ever on the Paper Toss app thanks to this product, haha! Another thing I like about this product is that it is like a second finger... I used to hate having to take off my gloves in the winter every time I wanted to even answer my phone, but now that I have the Skosh pen, my fingers don't have to freeze!



This product also makes a GREAT gift... everyone I have shown it to thinks it is really cool, it looks really cool, and they asked me where to get one... and I will admit that several people on my Christmas list are getting one this year! :)



I highly recommend getting this product for the tech savvy people in your lives! Skosh Capacitive Stylus Pen for ipad+iphone with Tether-Silver (also available in Black or Pink with Tether or Larger Clip Style in Silver or Black)

I LOVE my Skosh stylus! I use them for my IPad and also my Motorola Droid. I have long nails and I have tried several other brands because I was always miss-entering. This one is by far the best: its special rounded, rubberized tip works perfectly. Some others either drag or stick, causing false entries. It's easy to hold. It's good-looking: all my friends want to try it and when they do, they think it's perfect. It makes a great gift.

In the past few months I have received both an iPad and a Touch. I have long fingernails and wanted a stylus to use for those small print links and just general use with my iProducts. The Skosh is the most sensitive-and best-stylus I have used to date.



The others I have tried are the elago Stylus Pen with Clip for iPhone 4/3GS/3G, iPad and iPod Touch, AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4, Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab and the AYL (TM) Slim Capacitive iPad Stylus (Metallic Silver). I purchased the AYL because of the small diameter tip for use with the Touch. It was okay, but definitely less sensitive than the elago. When I misplaced it, I wanted to try something else. After many hours of research, I settled on the Skosh, and I'm really glad I did.



The bulbous point of the Skosh is quite squishy, but it requires only the lightest of touches, and if you squish it, you are pressing too hard. The tip diameter of the Skosh is about 3/4 of the diameter of the elago. Between the diameter and the sensitivity, it is perfect for the small print links on the Touch.



I have the tether looped around the case that holds my Touch, so I won't lose it. I'll continue to use the elgao on my iPad because I like it also, but I would highly recommend the Skosh.

This stylus is AWESOME! I tried a different stylus a few months ago and it kept sticking to the screen. The SKOSH stylus is WAAY more accurate than my own fingers (especially since I have nails), it does NOT stick, and I can text quicker than my teenage daughters!! (Except now they want one, too) If your phone uses Sywpe tech (like my Motorola DROIDx phone), this stylus just flies across the screen and will not make a bunch of annoying errors like with your fingers. I have it attached to my phone but I use it with my ipad all the time, too. REALLY recommend this stylus!!!

I WAS a klutz on my iPhone until I discovered the SKOSH stylus. Who knew there was a better way? People frequently ask about the stylus and I am delighted to RAVE about the product.



And thank you for packaging your product in a minimum amount of non-biodegradable material.

This stylus works just great! I don't have to turn the iPhone to make the keyboard wider to keep from making typos when using this handy gadget. It is of good quality, and attaches nicely to the phone lanyard to be convenient whenever I want to use it. Couldn't ask for anything more! - Iphone Stylus - Ipad Stylus - Iphone - Ipod Touch'

Ladder Ball - family game, blongoball


The Blongo Ball game I purchased was better and stronger than the original ones I purchased through WalMart and Dick's. They both fell apart as you played but the Blongo Ball version played strong even with kids who have a tendenciy to play the game a little rough. I give this version 5 STARS and would recommend it. The price was also better than the one I bought from Dick's which was equivalent to the cheaper on I got from WalMart, both being Skilcraft products. Blongo Ball Complete Game Set

Bought this after reading the good reviews as we have a big backyard party every Memorial Weekend.

THIS game was the hit of the party! Seriously! Very easy to set up and the rules are simple.

The ONLY downfall is that we could not figure how to put it back in the box! A GREAT game!!!

This game was so easy to set up, very sturdy and simple to play. My dad has a similar game but this one is made much better since it doesn't come apart when you're playing & the balls are harder too. I just wish it came with the carrying bag instead of having to buy it separately. Also wish it came with a score keeper. My dad's game has a score keeper built on one of the side vertical poles where you slide a rubber ring up & down. We have a great time playing and I would definitely recommend this for outdoor family fun! - Blongoball - Family Game - Ladder Ball - Ladder Golf'

Ballpoint Pen - ballpoint pen, black


its about 13 pens for the dollar! i have always used this exact model of pen for school, so i bought a bunch of it here online.



these are normal pens that write great. its the price i love!



for under 5 bucks, you get 60 pens. so few people know of this, and amazon can't advertise such a low price. i'm just lucky i stumbled upon it.



Very satisfied :) BIC Round Stic Ball Pen, Medium Point, 1.0 mm, Black, 60 Pens (GSM609-Blk)

If you want a functional pen, at a good discount type of price, then this one is for you. However, they do not mention how very light the ink comes out onto the page. I was used to heavier flow on most of my other pens, so this light ink from these pens is something I noticed right off the bat when I started using it. A good price for the 60 pack, but if you like a thicker, heavier ink pen, then this is not good for that.

These pens have been a personal favorite for me for the last few years. I discovered them during my freshman year of college, and I was so excited when I found them at Walmart in a 36 pen box. When I was cruising Amazon last week and discovered that the greatness that is this pen could be mine for so cheap, I practically threw a parade.



If I could high-five these pens, I would. I bought two boxes, so that means I have 120 pens all to myself. Being an education major, I fully intend that most of these pens will go missing in the most ridiculous of places. Will I lose one on the bus? Or will I leave it with the cashier at Target? The joy of the cheapness of these pens is that the future is now mine to find out!



Now, for serious: this is painfully cheap for these pens. They're definitely my favorite pens, and one box will probably get me through my senior year into student teaching and probably when I have my own classroom and need pens for some writing project. I have paid more for these pens, and I do so gladly. They write cleanly, and they don't give out on you until the ink does. Unless I personally damage the pen (which is hard, because the plastic is great quality), it works well always. The ink takes a while to run out (I believe I have a pen that lasted me for everyday writing all year), and they don't look cheap, if you care about that kind of thing. I'm the pen girl in my classes because of these pens.

This is a standard bic pen. Having used all sorts of pens and having to write alot each day, I find Bic ink to be the smoothest and most consistent. I've tried gel inks from all different brands, and while those are very smooth, they all tend to smear when I move my hand across while writing. This ink does not smear in the same way with standard use.

Have used only a few of these pens so far, but they all work! As usual, Bic is a trusted name in pens and this box stands up to the name. This is a great purchase for a family or group that needs affordable, yet reliable pens. You can't go wrong with this buy. And the price was just right. - School Supplies - Pen - Black - Ballpoint Pen'

Windshield Cleaner - window cleaner, windshield cleaner


Where has this windshield cleaner been all my life. I and millions of people have spent a good part of there lives trying to reach and clean the dark recesses and corners of there front and rear windshields. In the days of old when nearly everyone was smoking and there was a constant film on the interior glass, cleaning this was like Mission Impossable. This thing is not rocket science. Why did it take so long to invent ???. Thank God it's finally here. I use white vinegar in the spray bottle, it seems to work better than plain water. All I can say is it works great. I would highly recommend the Windshield Wonder for all your hard to reach glass.



Buy the way; Walmart, Target and most large drug chains such as Walgreens and CVS carry these for $10. As Seen On TV Windshield Wonder Microfiber Cloth

This product is a wonderful Idea, and works like a charm. One problem I noticed early was that the head did not attach firmly to the extension handle (I do not know why the handle is removable, the whole point of this product is to reach hard to get to areas on windshields without straining). As a result, the head would make a loud snapping sound from time to time while in use, and would sometimes even fall off. Finally one day while using it, the plastic handle split in two and broke. The results of this product are wonderful, the windows in my car had never been cleaner, but the product is of horrible quality. There are other, more quality, options out there.

This little product is GREAT. Saves me from being a contortionist, and provides crystal clear, streak free windows. They are available in most major department stores and drug stores nationwide. HOWEVER... the online and phone versions include a zippered storage case, and a microfiber wiping cloth which is not included in the store bought version. Personally the cloth is available at every dollar-tree store in the US for $1.00 and the case is available at Walmart for $2.00



The buy one - get one on TV and the web are really a scam too, all the infomercial for inexpensive China Made products are doing it and then socking it to you for shipping to make up the difference in giving you the second for free....some free. The .com and TV versions are 10 dollars plus 7 dollars shipping for each wand, that is a grand total of 24 dollars for 2 wands. Simply buy it at Walgreens for 10 bucks and pocket the savings of 14.00 and you'll have streak free clean windows, wont hurt your back or rib cage, and never need to buy detail window cleaner again.

This is an excellent product. I'd been looking high and low for something to clean the inside of my windshields. This product does the job very well. However, I would wait until another company decides to carry it before buying. Needless to say, my experience with this company was a bad one. I'll leave it at that.

Finally!!! I went to Walmart, CVS, Target, Autozone, and finally found the last one at Walgreens. Saved $$$ because price was lower and no $7 shipping charge. I tried Windshield Wonder as soon as I got home, and it definitely makes washing my cars front and rear windshield much easier. Now I wont dread cleaning my cars windows any longer. It works. I will see you on the road, and much more clearly.

I purchased this item today and had to try it right away. The cashier also had one and she loves hers. After trying it on my car windows, I then tried it on the windows in the house. It is so easy to use and you only have to use water to spray on the microfiber pad. My windows were pretty dirty, so I hand washed the pad and it came out really clean. I am considering buying another one to keep inside and the other one for the cars.

Easily cleans my very-sloped windshield. It comes with a small spray bottle that I filled with Windex instead of plain water. The head swivels to the shape of the slope. The wand reaches into every corner except that small space above the rear-view mirror. Very little pressure is needed to scrub the glass squeaky clean.



This wand is excellent for cleaning a widescreen, glass-less computer monitor. A spritz of water and a few gentle swipes of the wand, and presto! The monitor screen shines like it did upon purchase. You'll only need a soft tissue to clean the right-angle corners where the wand doesn't quite reach.



It comes with an extra cleaning pad too. The pad pops off and gets tossed into the washing machine. Pops right back on quick and easy.



The wand is made of heavy plastic. It can be dissembled and kept in the glove compartment.



I hope this stays on the market forever. I would quickly buy another when the need arises. I paid $9.99 at Walmart. - As Seen On Tv - Window Cleaner - Glass Cleaner - Windshield Cleaner'
