Cheap Ipod Charger - ipod car charger, usb

The USB cable looks and feels very similar to the apple one, but the chargers have a somewhat cheesy feel. Then again, that's totally to be expected when you buy a whole set for less than half the price of a cable or either charger alone from Apple or one of the name brand companies.

I also should note that the AC adapter is 100-240v compatible, so it can work worldwide. I was wondering about that when I bought it because none of the tech info mentioned it. In fact, the casing itself was designed to be used with the EU style plugs, and that's why it protrudes from the body of the case.

Also, the items I received look like the submitted picture, and not the MFG's picture, for what it's worth... Doesn't matter much because in any case the items aren't very aesthetically pleasing anyways.

Bottom line, from reading the other reviews it looks like they have QC issues, but I wound up with a perfectly functional set at a great price. Apple iPod USB Travel Kit with Car Charger, Travel Adapter & Cable

The car charger worked great. I could charge my iPod while listening to it. I'm currently trying to use the Travel Adaptor, but so far it's not working. I'm trying to discover the problem. It's not the cord, because the cord is working when connecting the iPod to computer. So, I can't really say anything about how the travel adapter works. But I give the car charger 5 stars. It gets the job done.

edit :: i actually got it to work. it works great. you just have to wait a second for your iPod to display the charging symbol.

Guys,

Do NOT EVER buy this product. I lost my Ipod Nano(8gb) because of this cheap nonsense. As soon as I plugged in the charger into the wall outlet, and connected it to the nano, the charger blew a fuse, and had smoke coming out of it. My nano didn't start after that. No matter what I tried. I took it to apple store, and they couldn't start it either. My warranty was void.

Go for real apple products, not for these cheap chargers. I'm not sure if this company BargainCell is selling authentic products, or just cheap makeovers without ever having tested them out.

Again, do not buy it, unless you want to risk losing your ipod.

The charger worked once. When I removed it from the wall electrical outlet an electrical spade just came off in the wall. These items are so cheap that they break the first time it is used. I wouldn't buy this item again.

so cheap. how could you *not* buy this? it screwed up my ipod after using it for a few weeks. now i have issues powering down my ipod. it won't turn off. weird. i've heard this complaint from others, too.

Great product to have for you ipod.

i own an ipod touch 3G. the wall wall adaptor is awesome. I was skeptical when i saw hte price, but the product is awesome

Don't buy the expensive wall adapter from the apple store, these ones works great and usb cable that you get with this product is awesome too.

so stop looking around and buy this.

So far, I really like the charger. The thing I like the best, is the convenience of not having to find a computer to charge My I-pod. Another good feature of this charging unit, is that it doesn't reset the play count(on the I-pod), just because I'm recharging. I recommend anyone with an I-pod to get one of these. My opinion, they are a "MUST-HAVE" type of item for anyone with an I-pod. The price is Phenomenal for such a necessary accessory for any I-pod Nano. I'm very pleased with this product, and the charging time is rather quick. I would appreciate a "Fully-Charged" indicator lamp that can be seen from a distance, to make aware of a full charge, and is ready to be UN-plugged. I would imagine that it'd be a bit extra in cost for such a feature, but I for one, would be willing to pay for it. As long as it isn't an "exorbitant increase", that is. Again, all and all, a pretty good, and necessary product for anyone owning an I-Pod. Too Redundant? Sorry.... - Ipod Car Charger - Ipod Accessories - Cheap Ipod Charger - Usb'

leather belt - leather belt

My waist size is 33" and I ordered size 34 (based on a review posted here). But it was too small for me as the buckle could not make it to any of the holes. You should add at least 4" to your waist size to get to the correct belt size. Dickies Men's 35mm Reversible Belt, Black/Brown, 34

The belt itself is quite nice. When I used it for a mere 10 days, however, the leather broke from where it fastens with the belt buckle. After very little use, this item is now worthless to me.

I also purchased the Levi's Men's 38MM Bridle Strap Belt With Double Metal Loop in the same order. I've been wearing it for several weeks now without a single problem.

I have always had problems with belts that "peeled" and was skeptical about buying this belt as well. No regrets! In fact, I'm actually thinking about buying at least one more for myself since I've never had such a gr8 belt (much better than the Lee reversible that didn't last very long at all).

Bought this for my husband for Father's Day. He really likes that he is able to wear it with any color pants simply by flipping it from brown to black or vice-versa. It's really well made and thick with a sturdy clasp and looks very nice with casual "Dockers" style work pants or jeans, very versatile! - Leather Belt'

Plastic Binder Machine - comb binder, office supplies

Visit Store Now !!

I am a homeschooling mom who downloads a lot of e-books. I have used this to make several books for school and it works great! It is solid, nothing seems flimsy or like it could break. I've made 100 page books with it so far and it works great. Fellowes Pulsar 300 Comb Binding Machine (5216601)

Pros: Comb fingers are made of metal, not plastic

Handle arm is metal with a rubber grip so it's not going to break when you try to punch 15 sheets repeatedly

Storage tray is great, holds 25 3/8" combs with no problem

Has that heavy, "quality" feel, it doesn't feel like a plastic kid's toy

Cons: There are no reference points/lines on the underside of the lid to let you know if your paper is sitting in the puncher level

The rotary edge takes a little playing around with to get your papers punched evenly at the top and bottom (this is a minor issue)

I was debating on whether to buy this machine or the Starlet, also by Fellowes, but in the end decided to buy the Pulsar since it seemed like portability and size were major selling points with the less expensive Starlet. This machine takes up about the same space as my Brother HL-2040 printer, so while it's not huge it's not something you can hide on a shelf somewhere out of the way. In the end, I opted to pay more for what I felt was a higher quality machine and I'm glad I did.

This comb binder punches smoothly through paper, cardstock, clear covers. Maximum paper punch is 15 pages but strengh required, I found it easier to punch 10 pages at a time. Love the versatility, storage drawer with measurement guide, comfortable handle, and the supplies included with starter pack. The vertical document loading is fantastic, it really keeps your paper stack aligned, so much better and easier than horizontal loading. The only drawback is that this machine is the size of a small typewriter and quite heavy, not portable at all or easy to store away. I like the capabilities but wish it were the size of the Starlet model.

I bought this machine over a year ago and have been very pleased with it. I have used it for severaonhome projects with my kids as well as calendars, fixing sheet music and cook books. It is very smooth and even though it will punch 15 pages at a time I am more comfortable doing closer to 10. I personally would prefer the spiral bindings for my projects, but the plastic combs are fine. I would definitely recommend this product to others. It does what I need it to do.

I purchased this new Comb Binder to replace a smaller one that I had. My decision was a good one. I make photo/scrap-booking calendars every year for family Christmas presents and I wanted a Comb Binder that could cut the thick pages easily and then combine them easily.

The Fellowes Pulsar Office Comb Binder is perfect! In addition to my crafting use, we use it regularly for my daughter's school projects. She's the only one in her classes to turn in projects that are bound and her projects always look great!

The Fellowes Pulsar Office Comb Binder easily cuts through and combines the thickest of papers, effortlessly.

I would definitely recommend this product for home office and home crafting use. - Comb Binder - Binder - Binding Machines - Office Supplies'

Vegetable Gardening - homesteading, urban homesteading

Visit Store Now !!

For an urban homesteading book, the breadth and depth of the Idiot's Guide is excellent. The organization of the book makes it easy to reference and the writing has a very friendly, optimistic tone, rather than being overly ideological or judgmental. This book reads very well and will serve as a great resource for me. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Urban Homesteading

When I first got this book I was a little skeptical, because I've been homesteading (or whatever you want to call it) in the city for a while. But, I couldn't believe ho much this book covered! Everything from growing food in all different situations (including yard-sharing, which is a neat idea), to starting your own seedlings, to caring for all kinds of back yard animals, to canning and yogurt-making and solar and on and on...

I found a lot of information I could use, and it's explained in a really accessible way. I particularly liked the chapter about small-space gardening, because the author goes into a lot of detail about this. The plant chart she included in the back of the book is terrific. I've been wanting to find all of that information about garden vegetables in one place, but never could.

I'm going to order a second copy for my mom. She's interested in starting to learn some of these things, but finds it really intimidating. The book presents the information in a straight-forward and down-to-earth way, and I know my mom will really enjoy it.

Most of us appreciate the importance of a more sustainable lifestyle, but actually taking the steps to make it happen might seem overwhelming or intimidating. In this very practical book, the "how to's" are accessible and organized in such a way as to allow you to start with small steps in whichever areas have appeal or spark your interest. The planet, and by extension the lives of each of us, will only benefit. What a helpful guide!

Wow! What a great resource. I just finished up with this book and it is such an invaluable resource! I knew little bits here and there, with an interest in picking up a few more things. I didn't realize there was going to be SO many topics covered and covered so well. What's great is it's written in very basic ways, but goes deep enough that you can really get a great grasp of what interests you. Not just surface level, if you want to delve deeper. And there are homesteading things I never really thought about doing myself, but I now have the confidence and enthusiasm to conquer more things and incorporate them into my life. This book will definitely be a tool I will keep at my side and guide me through the years that I develop my lifestyle in ways that make me happier and gentler to this planet. This is the best investment in a book I've made since I can even remember!

I purchased this book with great excitement, however, was disappointed with content. It does touch on a lot of subjects. As a gardener, I found the gardening content a little basic. The constant concern with urban homesteading in a rental environment did not really apply to me and I found it a little repetitive. I also found the chapter on "foraging in the city" or dumpster diving appalling and question if that is really the focus of urban homesteading. I thought the ideas of making your own soap, lotion and cleaning products very interesting, however, the lotion recipe was completely unworkable and reflects someone who had never actually tested it. All in all, it had some interesting ideas, but lacked depth in the many subjects it tried to touch on. A good overview of the subject, but not in depth or comprehensive in any one subject. - Sustainability - Gardening - Urban Homesteading - Homesteading'

Thomas Edison - inventor, marketing

Visit Store Now !!

A terrific new insight into why new products / inventions succeed or fail. Roosen and Nakagawa introduce a new measure of product development spending priorities and back it up with several historical and modern examples tying these priorities to the effect on real-life products - and companies.

"Overcoming Inventoritis" goes beyond Clayton Christensen's concept of Disruptive Technology in "The Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book that Will Change the Way You Do Business (Collins Business Essentials)". Roosen and Nakagawa show how even companies as complex and well-established as Kodak and the large integrated steel makers (the latter among Christensen's examples of supposedly doomed industries) have the ability to succeed in the face of new lower-quality but improving competitors. The key is to keep your internal strengths aligned with the market's external demands, rather than focusing internally on unguided innovation.

This strategy sounds easy. How can it be accomplished? "Overcoming Inventoritis" lays out twelve distinct ways to break with unsuccessful innovations and increase your products' chances of profitability. My favorite of the twelve? The first: Assume your product is terrible. Don't laugh - it actually makes sense the way Roosen and Nakagawa explain it.

Among many examples of inventoritis-free successes and inventoritis-plagued failures, one example from a century ago stands out. The comparison between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla is as clear an example of opposing attitudes toward innovation - and radically differing outcomes - as you will ever find. Even if you think you know the story behind either of these great minds, you will come away with a profound new perspective.

"Overcoming Inventoritis" is a must for any executive, marketer or engineer who wants to ensure successful product releases and drive up profitability. Overcoming Inventoritis: The Silent Killer of Innovation

I read a great book by Tatsuya Nakagawa and Peter Paul Roosen called "Overcoming Inventoritis: The Silent Killer of Innovation". When Tatsuya first sent me the book, I instantly thought - SYNNEX - distribution - this must be a book on how to turn your inventory faster. Having the right inventory and turning it fast is key to any well run distributor.

But the book is about Inventors or Creativity. The gist of the thesis is all organizations need innovation to grow and thrive but all companies have built in characteristics that stifle creativity. The book covers a series of interesting case studies to point out the challenges and how some successful companies overcame the obstacles.

One clear message is "falling in love with your invention is a sure way to fail".

The book build us up to my favourite chapter (7) which has the answer. 12 ways to overcome Inventoritis.

1 - Assume the product or idea is terrible. Challenge and re-challenge.

2 - Know your customer, industry and business well. I notice that everyone else's business is easy and the grass is always greener there but when I invest, I lose money.

3 - Build a solid leadership bridge between marketing, engineering and sales.

4 - Make a commitment to self-improvement

5 - Be prepared to give up control. Control needs to be where the best good for the innovation is.

6 - Steal ideas from others and let them steal your ideas. I have always said "Ideas are a dime a dozen - implementation is what counts"

7 - Budget the time to help others and ask for help. Interesting, I am better at giving help than asking for it. Something I should work on.

8 - Lead with process.

9 - Create a slogan for the strategy.

10 - Leverage your resources (This is a huge part of the key to success in general)

11 - create a network or outside advisors. I would modify this to say just a network of people who can influence the market, spread the word, sometimes advise, challenge etc.

12 - Now you don't think I am going to just give you the full list. Read the book (the list is on page 92)

The book can be downloaded for free at Tatsuya's company web site - Atomicacreative.com.

I love the unique way this book was developed and written. The simple, easy to understand, amazing concepts discussed are very timely and will help anyone in their marketing endeavours. Highly recommended!

This book can be summarized in a single paragraph:

Thomas Edison was a marketer first, and an inventor second. Nicola Tesla was an inventor first, and a marketer not at all. Edison lied, cheated, and stole his way to wealth and power; Tesla was lied to, cheated, and stolen from, most notably by Edison. Therefore, Edison was right, Tesla was wrong, and your company should be more like the former.

Summarized this way, both this book's merits and its flaws should be clear -- and I just saved you twenty bucks.

First the guy never really defines Inventoritis. I guess you can kind of figure it out by reading the book, but it's really left up to the reader to define it in their own minds. Second, the examples he gives seem to contradict themselves. In one case an inventor is portrayed as being tenaciousness and in another example an inventor exhibits the same qualities and he's portrayed as having inventoritis. I did learn a bit more than about Edison than I knew before, but that's all I got out of the book. - Innovation - Inventor - Marketing - Nikola Tesla'

Office Electronics Accessories - glossy finish, canon

Visit Store Now !!

This is a reasonably priced product that produces very good photos. I am happy with it, and it's a lot less expensive than buying smaller packs. I found that Canon photo papers work best with Canon printers, so I don't buy other brands anymore. Canon Photo Paper Glossy, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 100 Sheets (0775B024)

The mat paper prints extremely nicely, this glossy paper doesn't print quite as well and it's really thin (not much thicker than standard 20# paper, but glossy). I prefer a sturdier paper as this creases too easily when handling it (to trim photos). I think it's worth spending a little more and getting a paper that is more like commercial processed photos.

I had been using a cheaper photo paper to print photographs, so when I ran out of it, I bought this Canon paper from Amazon at a great price. Then I was pleasantly surprised at the HUGE improvement in the quality of my print with Canon. I would definitely buy this paper again.

I print and frame photos for myself and family, so this works great. you have to frame it almost right away, because it is thin and will bend easy. Also have to be careful loading it into the printer to not crease it. However 100 sheets for this price, you cant bitch. Photos come out great, like thicker paper Ive used before, just handle with care.

I've used Canon printers for years, and do a lot of photo 8.5" x 11" prints. My paper of choice has been Canon's matte photo paper (Canon Matte Photo Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 50 Sheets (7981A004)), because it is fairly economical, and produces good results. The matte paper does seem to absorb a lot of ink, so I decided to try Canon's glossy photo paper, which seemed to be getting rave reviews here at Amazon.

The results using my year old Canon iP4600 printer, and non-Canon ink cartridges are outstanding. Colors look accurate, and are not too saturated, with the glossy finish being comparable to a real photograph. The paper is thicker and stiffer than I expected it to be, which is a good thing as you don't have to be super careful, to avoid bending the print. And the glossy surface of the print is not prone to picking up fingerprints, like a real photograph.

At somewhere in the 18 to 22 cent per print range, this paper is very affordable for those that make a lot of prints. My impression is that ink consumption is something less, than for a similar print using matte paper. If this is true, then that is another benefit. How long the prints will last, is an important question I can't answer at this time. Assuming prints are not exposed to direct sunlight or harsh lighting, hopefully they will not degrade or discolor for several years.

As an avid photographer who does fair amount of printing, I highly recommend this photo paper. Canon's matte paper is great as well, and roughly the same cost. Matte or glossy, Canon has my needs covered.

I'm using this paper with a Canon iP4700 printer. Granted, the paper is thinner than other brands, but I find this means easier, cleaner cuts. Even more, as I like to make colleagues, (putting a tacky spray on the back of the photos to allow for a smooth, ripple-free mounting,) this thin paper makes for excellent, seam-free, nearly invisible joinings. So, people doing photo crafts might wish to consider the handling benefits of this paper over thicker brands?

What impressed me more is the color! Yes, I'm using Canon inks as well! To appreciate the color difference, understand that I enjoy playing with light and shadow. I'd printed a number of photos on different paper (using this same printer and inks) but the shadow was so overwhelming that it actually muted entire features into darkness. To manipulate the brightness to bring these hidden features forth, would mean that the rest of the face would look washed out. I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place.

Reprinting those same photos on Canon glossy paper captured the features in shadow without lessening the warm flesh tones that are in the light. Who knew? I was impressed!

Now, I'm not a professional photographer - this is just a hobby to me. And, I'm sure $2.00 to $3.00 a sheet paper will certainly produce far better quality than this paper. But, for the money, I like the results.

Oh, and another feature I didn't factor in originally, but have since learned, "Hey, it happens!" Misprints - we all make mistakes. They won't hurt as much if it's this economical paper you're wasting.

I'm giving Canon glossy paper five stars simply because it hasn't disappointed me in any way.

Canon paper works very effectively in my Canon printer. It gives me superior results compared to other photo

papers I have tried in my printer. The area that particularly shines is the skin tones. They come through

in realistic tones. I also observed no fading in color, even in the photo displayed in the room (vs the one stored in albums) over several years I have used the paper. - Canon - Glossy Finish - Photo Paper Pro - Photo Paper'

Skin Care - benzoyl peroxide, adult acne

Visit Store Now !!

This product is great and is highly effective. I have worked in pharmacy for 3 years and have seen people spend a lot of money on prescription acne treatments that basically do the same thing but only cost more, especially if you dont have insurance. This strength of Benzoyl Peroxide used to be RX only, but now is over the counter. It is rather strong and I do suggest that you follow the instructions on the package, especially if you have sensitive skin, to "ease into it", even if you are tempted to put it on 2-3 times a day at the very beginning. It may cause your skin to become very dry and flaky, somewhat ruining the benefits. Overtime though, many people's skin gets used to it and then you can increase the application as neeed.

As other people have mentioned this product does say that it is a gel, but in fact is a white cream and does leave some residue on the skin. The good news is that Clean & Clear has just come out with the same product as this in a clear gel!! I saw it the other day at a Walgreens!

One thing I do have to say though, is that someone previous to me, mentioned that this product is the same as the RX product ClidaGel, which is not true. ClindaGel contain benzoyl Peroxide, but it alos contains clindamycin which is another acne fighting engredient. I just thought that I should mention that in case anyone reading this uses ClindaGel.

Overall, this is definately a great product!!! Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength 1

If you need to get rid of a zit fast, then this is the best out there, in my experience.

I put this on any zit (or blackhead trying to become a zit) that I spy before bed, and it knocks that sucker out. It does make my skin peel a tad, and it will probably do the same to you, so be careful not to overuse. Also, make sure you use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer as well if your skin is really sensitive.

EDIT: Something else that's great: This product caused old acne scars on my chin to fade very quickly. Acne scars are the worst because even if the zit goes away it looks like you still have it! So this product is great for that as well.

SECOND EDIT: I wrote this review several years ago. I'm now 29 and this product doesn't work the same for me as it used to. So your experience with it may vary depending on how old you are. When I was younger, it was the best! Now that I'm older, I find products with tea tree oil work better for me. Also: beware, this product will bleach any fabric it comes in contact with.

I have thin, oily skin and used to have pimples ravaging my nose and cheeks. This product has cured my acne without aggravating my skin. I've tried every (pricey) spot treatment under the sun, from Neutrogena to Clarins to DDF, and this product is one of the better ones.

Unfortunately, this product is **NOT A GEL** as advertised! It is a white cream that can leave splotches as it dries. I usually apply this after moisturizing so I don't get splotches anyway, but this is something that buyers should know: the packaging is truly misleading.

This stuff is amazing! I think I've tried almost every product out there, including prescriptions, and Persagel gave me clear skin in only a few weeks, and has kept it clear for months! I find the best routine is to clean your skin with a mild soap at night and apply a thin layer all over (it really helps prevent). In the morning, clean it off and apply moisturizer, something with SPF is best, as this medication will make your skin extremely sensitive to the sun. Do watch for bleaching though, I've ruined quite a few towels with this stuff!

This product works great. I've been using benzoyl peroxide - based over - the - counter acne treatments for at least 30 years and I'm ordering some more right now. But there is a caution that I should remember, but I recently forgot. Benzoyl peroxide is a bleach (they even use it in Asia to bleach flour, just check the label on your Ramen package). It can bleach literally anything. Recently I ruined a new set of expensive sheets and pillow cases, and left a bleached spot on my new comforter. So now I bought a nice set of white sheets and am trying to find a more color fast duvet cover.

I've also figured out what the small white spots in the carpet are. I've bleached out places in the carpet where I figure the residual on my fingers touched it. (I tend to put the benzoyl on as a final thing after the evening shower while at the bath room sink and in the past I generally haven't washed off the residual on my fingers.) I've determined I was picking something off the carpet or I sat down, using my hand to brace me. Poly/cotton blends seem to be more resistant to benzoyl peroxide than 100% cotton. Although completely man - made blends in the carpet have been bleached. So I'm not sure there is a hard and fast rule.

This would be good for parents to know and to enforce a 'hand washing' rule after use. Or just keep in mind when you find that really nice set of colorful sheets at Overstock.

I rarely review products, but just had to throw out my kudos to this product. I am a 29 female and have suffered with acne for 15+ years. It never seemed to get any better, despite expensive prescriptions. Most of my breakouts were around my jawline and hairline, although no part of my face could really escape it! For the last two years I have been trying to combat my acne with an expensive combination of antibiotics + birth control + salicylic face wash + aczone ($$!) and retin-a. Nothing cleared my breakouts.

Thank goodness for my love of amazon and everyone who has used this product and written their reviews! I decided to give persa-gel a shot and with a $5 price tag, I had nothing to lose.

The results are nothing short of AMAZING!! Persa-gel IMMEDIATELY cleared my breakouts, and has prevented new acne. The first day or two my skin was a little flakey in some spots, but after that no problems. I have been using this for about 2-3 weeks and have had ZERO new breakouts. I can run my hands along my face and my face feels smooth (and I can't feel ANY small bumps or clogged pores under the surface!!). I even used this on a small/picked at sore near my hairline that didn't seem to improve after a week or two. I used persa-gel on it and it IMMEDIATELY began to dry up and heal. REMARKABLE! As someone who picks at their skin too much (guilty), I love that this product almost seemed to HEAL my skin. I love that this product dries out acne, but doesn't make my skin flakey. Plus it rubs right in clear and very little product is needed.

I am so impressed with this product and recommend it to anyone to try. I am throwing out all my expensive prescriptions since I have found a new SOLUTION:

Morning:

Wash with Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask with Clarisonic Brush

Use Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner applied with cotton pad

Moisturize with Olay Total Effects moisturizer

Only on occasionally I use persa-gel as a spot treatment on any existing breakouts before makeup (Bare Minerals)

Night:

Wash with Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask with Clarisonic Brush

Use Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner applied with cotton pad

Moisturize with Olay Total Effects Night Firming cream (allow to absorb for 5-15 minutes)

Apply small amount of persa-gel to entire face, concentrating on breakout areas (rub in a small drop on problem areas)

Also taking Zinc (50 mg) + Copper (2.5 mg) nightly

*If you use moisturizer in conjunction with persa-gel, I advise using moisturizer PRIOR to persa-gel and allowing it to absorb for 5-15 minutes first. I have tried persa-gel first, and even after waiting before applying moisturizer, when I did, some persa-gel ended up getting too close to my eyes and irritating the delicate skin. - Blemish Control - Adult Acne - Benzoyl Peroxide - Acne Treatment'

The skirt was even pinker than I expected. When they say "Hot Pink" they mean it. The picture doesn't do the color justice. It's beautiful. The coins provide just the right amount of jingle too. It's a little smaller than I was expecting, but I'll make it work as long as I don't gain any weight in my hips :) I'm really REALLY satisfied with the quality and workmanship in this product. It's a great value for the price. I'd buy more from this company if I ever need another skirt. Definitely. Red Belly Dance Skirt With Gold Coins (Great Gift Idea)

Excellent quality and light enough to wear without having to pin it on all the time! It worked perfectly with an outfit I wore to dance to The Beatles and George Abdo at the local library in Cocoa Beach, FL. Thanks again!

Susan (Algaia)!

We were very pleased with the skirts! It came just in time and the bright red and black with gold coins were excellent! I highly recommend this skirt to anyone who is wanting to buy it but don't want to spend a ton.

I bought this skirt for Halloween and I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality. There were a lot more coins on the skirt than I expected. The material is a little flimsy, but I expected that since it was so inexpensive. I received nothing but compliments from friends and complete strangers. Shipping was quick and customer service was great.

This is a great, light and attractive skirt. I saw one similar in an Indian shop for $35. It has 3 layers of coins and coins at the tie ends. It has a thinner nylon material than the purple, handmade skirt but it is lighter in weight. The red color is bright but not ugly. I have not washed the skirt as yet so I cannot comment on fading or wear and tear. I gave this item 4 stars because of the shipping costs! I would definitely buy another but must factor in the shipping costs which definitely changes the price. - Hip Scarf'

E Electric Wine Chiller

Visit Store Now !!

Designed by Cooper Union engineering students who proved it was the most efficient way to chill beverages, the Cooper Cooler never fails to fascinate those guests who turn up at your barbecue with warm beer, wine, or soda. Happily, it also never fails to chill your potables to the core. Be warned, however, that you will consume a lot of ice in the process. (Since this device does not actually perform any refrigeration, you provide a mixture of water and ice which it cascades over the spinning container. The ice melts completely after only a few chilled cans, or one bottle of wine.)

Another caveat, which may not have mattered to those in the engineering lab, is that this thing is hell on paper labels, what with the constant water, and the traction from the rubber wheels. You may then choose not to spin the bottle, but it will take approximately twice as long to chill your beverage.

Such is life. Cooper Cooler Rapid Beverage Chiller, Brushed-Silver

Good news: It worked as advertised. OK, maybe we left a can of soda in there a bit longer than instructed to get it really, really cold.

Bad news: When I went to demonstrate this gift to my mother -- the birthday gift recipient -- I brought with me a bottle of the white wine we were going to serve at my upcoming wedding. When I put the bottle in, it would not rotate because it sort of wedged into the device. I.e. the Cooper Cooler will not accomodate all wine bottles.

I am no wine drinker, but, as far as I know, there was nothing unusual about that bottle of white. It, like many other wine bottles I see on the shelves, was of the slightly more "stout" design. Is there a standard wine bottle size diameter-wise?

So here's the rub. If you know which bottles are the "standard" ones and those are the ones you want to chill, this will work. If you want to chill wines that come in bottles (only slightly) wider than that standard, they will probably not fit.

And forget chilling Champagne. They make no claim that you can chill Champagne and rightly so.

Other observations: This does use up ice. If you're chilling a bottle or two for dinner guests, don't worry about it. It's not overwhelming.

But if you think you're going to chill a case of beer during poker night, get a bag or two of ice cubes. Of course, if you're going to the liquor store for ice, why not just buy a cold case of beer while you're there instead?!

It takes up a bit of space on the counter, so you will have to store it somewhere when it's not in use.

It's not seriously noisy, but it is pumping water and spraying that water on a bottle that it is spinning. It is not a silent process.

You'll probably get some water on the counter, but not because it leaks. It's just that you're handling ice, water and a wet bottle. It's actually pretty splash-proof if you do it correctly.

I returned it, but not because it didn't work. We just found that it was kind of useless if my mother had to pick her wine based on the bottle size or otherwise own a chiller that MAY accommodate the evening's white wine choice.

I live in a college house with three other people and friends coming in and out. Our refrigerator is a sort of no-mans-land. Anytime you put any sort of beverage, Coke, Water, and especially Beer in it, you expect it to be drunk before you get back to it.

I was skeptical of this device. But low and behold, it works EXACTLY as advertised. We have an icemaker in the freezer so the concerns for ice are not a problem at all. It literally makes a warm beer cold in 1 minute and will get it frosty in 1 1/2 minutes.

Finally - a 'cold microwave.' I highly recommend this bad boy.

After a year of using this wine chiller, it still amazes me how wonderful it is. It's a must have for anybody who has wine drinking friends that just drop by. The motionless option is great for drinkers of fine unfiltered beers, who don't want to stir up the sediment.

The only downside to this machine is when in operation, it has a tendancy to splash water out of the front. This isn't anythig that a dish towel drapped over the front can't take care of, just a minor inconvenience.

I love this item solely for the fact that if I have a warm drink of nearly any kind I can chill it in a matter of minutes. That having been said its drawbacks have just caused me to start keeping more things in the fridge.

Problems:

It's loud, generally from the noise of the bottle or can spinning but even the pump and water when used in the "no-spin" mode can be a bit annoying.

You have to fill it with ice, for how much the thing costs I don't want to fill it with ice! I just want to plug it in and go! That may not seem annoying but do it a few times and don't forget to empty the water and you'll see.

Overall if you need to chill things quickly (and I mean quickly) this will do the trick but don't expect it to be quiet or very convenient.

This machine works well. I am not sure if user malfunction did not lead to others complaints of bottles not fitting because I have never had a problem. The majority of bottles we chill are champagne and they have a very large base and the machine has always accommodated them. Also it chills them perfectly in a few minutes. We also use it to chill bottle of water before we go to the gym. I have no complaints about this product and would highly suggest it.

i think is very convinient and comes in handy when people just drop by, you can serve wine very quick. its a little messy

when it start chilling wine bottles but once it goes don't worry about it.

suggest put a towel under it just for the start up.

in few words, i love it!!

This turned out to be a really great bottle (and can) chiller. Often times, with my large family, something runs out, or something isn't cold when it needs to be and we found this item does exactly the job! It works as advertised, and well worth the expense. We told all our friends and family about it. It's a little messy with water when chilling a large bottle (wine for example, if the spin is on) and the label get destroyed in the process - but those are items that don't matter to us. If you find a frequent need to chill any item down fast, this does it. No one in our family believed it, and everyone had to try it (to prove it) and sure enough, it does exactly that, and quickly. We love our little Cooper Cooler!'
