Ordered the whole set, bench, table and chairs. Very attractive and good quality for the price. The only issue I had was that when it got wet the color ran and stained the new brick patio we just had built. Got the stain out with a special cleaner I had to buy for $25 a gallon. Solved the problem with a coat of wipe on poly but it should have come with some kind of sealer in my opinion. Strathwood Gibranta All-Weather Hardwood 2-Seater Bench

For $99 it is a great deal BUT it came with a crack in the wood in the arm and splintered wood on the inside of both arms. The box looked like it had been drop kicked from the factory & the foam they used to pack it was so low in quality that it was frittering from the impact of the damage and "snowed" all over our front porch when opened. It seems reasonably sturdy to sit on and was not hard to assemble. It sits low without the cushion, so keep that in mind if you plan to go without the cushion. Attractive for the price, but not nearly as nice as our $350 bench.

We just bought this bench for our patio. It was very simple to put together (only 4 pieces), the instructions good and design simple. It's sturdy and we love how it looks. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because the measurements in the product description are misleading. The height and length are spot on but the depth is listed at 30. I was presuming that the seat depth was close to that but it's not even 20 inches deep. I was hoping to put thick cushions on the back and have it be much deeper. I'm disapointed with that but love the overall product otherwise. We also couldn't figure out how to attach the back cushions.

finally received this today after being back ordered and first piece i pulled out was cracked. the coffee table that goes with this set was cracked when received and we have gone through three of those and are done with this company. we will be returning the two matching chairs that are the only things we received not broken. good luck to you

I needed some outdoor benches for an enclosed porch area and these fit my needs perfectly. They are economically and asthetically palatable. You can easily pay 4 times more for something similar online. The finish is rich just like the pics; It is pretty sturdy at only 30 lbs. per bench, and the attachable cushions provide adequate comfort and are made to unzip so you can wash them. The installation was very easy. It took us probably 15 minutes for each bench but 1 person can put it together. The only gripe I have is the 2 back-seat cushions attach with velcro, but the straps don't reach far enough to connect to each other. I had to buy some velcro strips, stick them onto the back of the bench, and attach the cushions on those velcro strips on the bench. The quick-fix works fine but I don't think that's how it was intended to attach. Only time will tell me how long the finish and sturdiness will last, but I'm happy with the purchase.

We purchased this bench along with the matching table and chairs. The packaging came intact, and we didn't have a hard time putting any pieces together. They have stood up to a pretty rainy summer outdoors. I would recommend not keeping the cushions on them all the time. The casing is very hard to wash, and white shows everything. Overall, a good bench at a good price.

When we ordered this bench, we also ordered the coffee table and two chairs for a great deck set. They were shipped SO quickly. I was very happy with how easy it was to put together and it looks gorgeous on the deck! We have had so many compliments on the set and people asking where they can purchase it themselves. I would recommend these items to anyone!

We purchased this bench with the two matching chairs, and are very pleased!



Pros:

SUPER easy to assemble (two adults, one on crutches, less than an hour for both chairs and a bench with the "help" of an energetic 2 yr old.)



Looks a lot more expensive than it was!



Cons:

The cushions are thin, and won't be comfortable for long periods on the patio, but that's an easy fix.



The back cushions are.. odd. The cushion itself is big enough to cover all of the rails, but the velcro attachment is short so that it only really covers about four slats. This forces you to squish some of the cushion through the slats to fully fasten the back cushions.



The fabric the cushions are covered in.. I wouldn't leave it out exposed to the elements... Be prepared to either replace it, launder it (a lot), or bring them in each evening.





Although several reviewers mentioned cracked or split wood, we didn't have this problem. We have Prime and opted for the one day shipping, and think the reduced time in transit might have helped keep things safe. All in all we are very happy with the purchase and are considering the matching chaise.

This bench is very cool, and pretty sturdy, but I am so confused! There is no way for the back cushions to attach to the bench! Each cushion has two small flaps with velcro but they reach about 6"-8" apart, so they dont even come close to attaching, therefore the top cushions have no way of staying on...if anyone has any suggestions for this problem please let me know: HEMAY42@HOTMAIL.COM...Thanks!

I bought the whole set (2 chairs table and love seat) I love the look of it. It was the best price I could find for anything like this. Over all I'm happy with it, but there was some issues (You get what you pay for) Every piece had at least one issue with the hardware or milling. I ended up having to drill out holes because they were not deep enough, use my own screws because the female holes were not threaded to accept the bolts it came with etc. Nothing major if your handy, but still frustrating. I also found the assembly very awkward. I would suggest using a screw gun for the screws that secure the seat back to bottom, there are no pre drilled holes in the bottom and doing it by hand is useless.

Once assembled they are very sturdy and the quality seems good. I have had it outside with the cushions for about a month and they seem to be pretty resistant to staining. They are also removable which is great.

I get compliments on the set from everyone who sees it, and they are all shocked when I tell them how much I paid for it.'

Nice quality, assembled quickly and looks great on our deck. Was missing the screw to attach the knob to the cover, which required a trip to Home Depot - but other than that, we're completely satisfied. As an fyi, Kroger stores [Fry's, Ralph's, Smith's] stock firelogs specifically for firepits - making it even easier to use this product. Strathwood St. Thomas Cast-Aluminum Fire Pit with Table

My husband and I were initially so excited to find this product. It seemed like exactly what we'd been searching for, and most of the reviews were fantastic! When it was delivered, we began assembling it, only to find that some of the aluminum pieces were warped, and the main, central piece of the table was welded into a crooked oval instead of a circle. Amazon Returns was extremely easy to deal with and they handled our exchange promptly. They arranged for the defective table to be picked up at the same time that a replacement was delivered. We were disappointed that we couldn't start using the table right away, but we were hopeful that the replacement would work out. Unfortunately, the replacement table was even worse than the first! Every aluminum piece was bent or crooked, and even the cast iron top had several flaws. If this table was half the price, we may have been okay with the shoddy workmanship, but for over $300, we expected a good, quality product. I'm not sure if other customers were less picky about the workmanship, or if we were just amazingly unlucky. Amazon will not send a third replacement product, so now it's back to the drawing board to find something comparable. To make matters worse, a week after calling Amazon, the HUGE box is still in our living room waiting to be picked up--FAIL.

Let me start by saying a HUGE "Thank you!!!" to Strathwood for offering these amazingly affordable and stunning patio pieces. I have been looking for a chat set that was both good looking and affordable for over one year now. I can happily report, this is it!!!!



After reading the reviews here and loving the style (and price!), my husband and I decided to purchase this fire pit table with four motion club chairs from the same collection. Our order arrived in two days (WOW!) and in perfect condition. It took me about 10 minutes to put together the fire pit table and took my hubby about 20 minutes to remove the wrapping from the four chairs. We were amazed at how gorgeous this set was - it truly looks extremely high end and expensive. I agree with another reviewer that you would never know this set was aluminum (unless you picked it up). The chairs are extremely comfortable and the cushions are really nice. The cream color of the cushions go with any decor. I added some colorful pillows (from Target) and viola! We've created a resort lounging area in our own home for so much less than anyone would ever guess.



Truly, I have seen every chat set out there and this is hands down the best looking, best quality set for the money.

Iam very pleased with this collection! It looks so classy on my 7x26 deck. If your looking for a unique look this is it. The packaging took the most time to remove, assembly was quick, just put the legs on. My son helped and it was a snap.

It comes with levelers on the bottom of the legs. Now I can use the matchbooks to light the fire instead of leveling the furniture legs. Also comes with touch up paint.



Purchased two of the motion chairs to go around the firepit/table and I had reservations at first upon receiving them. I wanted more of the beautiful scroll work on the back to show.

(they come fully assembled, that was why I bought them)

After setting everything up and sitting in the chairs, they are sooooo, comfortable.

The cushions are light off white biege,high quality, but a bit bland. However, you can do add any color of throw pillow you like so thats a plus. Had a few stains already and Simple green removed the spot easily. Consider covering them in weather.

Would buy all of this collection if my deck was bigger.

High quality and lighter weight.

We purchased this product (along with 4 of the "motion" chairs) and it arrived last week. I was nervous about buying something like this online without seeing it in person, but so far I have been very happy with the product. It looks great and is exactly what we needed for half the price of similar products in local stores. The cushions on the chairs are a bit bland, but that doesn't bother me too much. I figure we will need to replace them eventually. I purchased some larger throw pillows so that the chairs will be more comfortable for shorter people like myself. The firepit looks great and can be easily used for cocktails or a casual dinner. As long as this product is durable (time will tell), I will be very pleased with this purchase.

Reading everyone's reviews helped in making the decision to purchase this table. Table was very easy to put together. All screws, washers and allen wrench were provided. I put the table together myself and only needed my husband to help me flip the table over after installing the legs. Took less than 20 minutes to install. Table is beautiful. Delivery company called to give me a time frame when they were going to deliver. It was raining that day and they went ahead and brought the box into the backyard and placed under our patio which was greatly appreciated. We haven't used the fire pit yet but can't wait til this weekend to try it out. Very pleased with the quality and the styling of the table. Very sturdy. Can't wait to order more of the other pieces to the set.



8/25/10 update:

Had to add a side note about this table. I purchased the Weber 7436 BBQ Grate with the hinge opening and it fits perfectly over the copper bowl. Not only do we use the table as a fire pit but we BBQ Hot Dogs, etc. now. I also purchased a round pizza stone to place over the grate to make pizza. Haven't tried it yet but are looking forward to trying to make pizzas as well. We LOVE this table. Our friends that have come over have really enjoyed this table. We've used it in so many ways. We just hang out around it and ENJOY! - Fire Pit - Outdoor Fireplace - Patio Furniture - Outdoor Furniture'

I bought a 744 after trying out the 745 and decided I would like the larger fence. The 744 I received from an online source (Tyler Tools) had a serious blade wobble and when set at 45 deg. the blade would contact the plate. The box it was shipped in looked as if it been hit by a semi! I called the Dewalt center (Seattle for me) and they traded me for a brand new model which works flawlessly. They told me some versions of the 744x are on recall so watch out. I haven't found any information online about the recall except for a posting in Australia. Had I not been near a Dewalt center I would have been hit with some serious shipping costs so be careful before you order a 744x. DEWALT DW744X 10-Inch Job-Site Table Saw with 24-1/2-Inch Max Rip Capacity

I had purchased a small contractor DeWalt 745 saw. It was a great little saw. But I wanted the larger 744x unit. I need a bigger fence area. Got the first 744 and it had a problem with the rack and pinion fence. It was so tight It wouldn' move. Tried adjusting it via the owners manual to no avail. Amazon shipped another unit and to my dismay it also had a rack and pinion AND fence problem. The fence would hang on the right miter slot. And the pinion gears jumped off the track when trying to adjust the fence. I'm very dissappointed in the factory setup on these saws. Poor quality control. I believe once I get beyond these poor factory quality issues I might have a good saw. But frankly, I would think twice before purchasing a DeWalt saw agaain . . .

This saw cuts with ease. The ability to rip up to 24.5 inches has already come in handy in the first week of using it. It makes it easy to cut plywood by your self. and the gaurd once set up makes consistant accurate cuts every time. I do not even measure the wood, I just set the table up to the correct size and rip the boards. Purfect every time.

I bought this saw primarily as a job site saw but it has seen some service in the workshop as well. It is ideally a two man lift not so much because of the weight but because it's awkward to man handle on your own, owing to the large table. I also purchased the additional outfeed and side supports which are great but they also add weight to the saw which have made it even heavier. As i work on my own the additional 30 inches of outfeed support has to be balanced against the extra weight.



The saw sits securely on the stand and has all the power anyone should need in a contractor saw. The rack and pinion fence is excellent and the best on the market in my opinion. I place the fence on the right hand side of the blade so the rip scale is set for me, anyone who sets the fence on the left will have to use their tape measure. The rip scale was out by a 1/16 of an inch and the fence was a 1/32 of an inch out of parallel with the blade. The mitre gauge seems as on all contractor saws to have been a bit of an after thought, there is a 1/16 of an inch of slop between the gauge bar and the gauge slots. This is not a huge issue for me as i rarely use it, when i do use the mitre gauge i push against the side of the mitre slot nearest the blade when making a cut.



There is onboard storage for spare blades and blade spanners, it's a pity Dewalt couldn't have included a cord wrap and onboard storage for the mitre gauge. There is an aluminum shield with a rubber extension which covers the bottom of the blade underneath the saw, this seemed to be holding the sawdust and overheating the motor. I removed it, it might be intended to be left in place if a shop-vac were attached to the dust port. I also removed the blade guard and the riving knife, these imo are workshop acessories.



The threaded bar that is attached to the handle that raises and lowers the blade is exposed, hence the threads get clogged with saw dust. Making it almost impossible to raise and lower the blade, i modified a piece of plastic tubing with a slightly larger diametre than the threaded bar by slitting it down the middle and slipping it over the bar. This has kept the saw dust off.



In conclusion i would'nt advise someone working jobsites on their own to buy this saw, it's just a bit too heavy and awkward. Ideally i'd leave the DW744 in the workshop and buy the DW745 which has the same size motor but with a reduced rip capacity and hence smaller table.



Just a little update on the above, the fence on my saw has a tendancy to drift towards the back of the blade which burns my stock as it clears the blade. This always seems to happen no matter how many times i re-adjust the fence. There are two 10mm bolts under the fence at the back of the table which need to be loosened to adjust the fence for parrallel. I recently went to re-adjust the fence and ended up tightening the bolts when i should have been loosening them, this sometimes happens when the bolt heads are facing down rather than up. I stripped out the threads in the bolt housings which unfortunatly are part of the cast table. I took the saw to the service centre and they gave me three options, thread locking compound, a new table, or a new saw. I choose the tread locking compound as a temporary fix, a new table will cost me 250 Euro. Expensive mistake.

I've liked it for the month I've had it, but the blade went out of alignment and caused a serious kick-back issue. I followed the (very skimpy) directions for adjustment but wasn't able to fix it.



I went on-line and found a recall for saws made in 2007 with the identical symptoms. My saw doesn't fall under the recall, but since it's only a month old the warranty covers it.



One other issue. Is it just me or are the holes for bolting the saw to the stand too close to the legs to allow a secure attachment?



Those issues aside, it's a handy easy saw for what I want to do right now, but when moving up to a more exacting type of work I may well trade up. A manual adjustment of the blade angle doesn't encourage precision.



Update 12.08- adjustment went fine- problem solved. - Portable Saw - Contractor Table Saw - Bosch Table Saw - Contractor Supply'

Wireless Adapter - usb network adapter, usb wireless adapter

The AirLink101 adapter is probably the smallest wireless-N capable USB adapter you will find. It's small size is ideal for laptop and desktop computers alike, as it doesn't stick out and risk being broken.



First off, the driver that comes with the USB adapter SUCKS. The two adapters I purchased were both used on Windows 7 x64 desktops. While Windows 7 easily detected the device and installed drivers for it, the stock drivers made for a very difficult time getting a reliable connection to the network. The drivers found on the included CD were no better.



Turns out you need to download the RealTek drivers for the 802.11b/g/n Single Chip RTL8188CUS chipset from RealTek's website, as this AirLink adapter uses the RealTek chipset. Once I installed that driver on both desktop computers, my signal strength was much higher and did not drop a connection. Surfing the net was every bit as fast as my wireless-G connections (as expected), and intranet transfers were very quick.



I imagine that many reviewers who gave bad reviews for this adapter did not attempt to update the drivers for it. To really give this adapter a fair shake, do yourself a favor and use the RealTek drivers to avoid headaches or unneeded returns. I'm using this adapter with an Asus RT-N16 router--one computer is about 40 feet away (through two rooms), and the other computer is 2 floors upstairs on the other side of the house, neither are showing signal issues.



So far this is 5-star wireless-N adapter... my only knock is that I just wish the included drivers were a little better for easier setup. AirLink101 AWLL5088 Wireless N 150 Ultra Mini USB Adapter

I had a customer's internal wireless card fail, and found this easier and cheaper. The size is as people say- right about the size of a quarter, and it sticks out of the USB port by less than half a centimeter. This is FAR less annoying to deal with than a typical USB flash drive size adapter or a PC card adapter that sticks out and can get snapped off easily by just one careless bump.



Installation was normal- installed it on a low-end Compaq laptop running 2GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate. Put it in the USB port, popped the CD in when Windows asked for a driver and it did it's thing.



The reviewer that reported a poor speed hopefully got one from a bad batch, because mine was right at 150Mbps when one wall away, and fluctuated between 54-105 when three walls away. Throughput was a steady 20Mbps or more [this is file transfer speed, etc., a different spec than connection speed]. I was completely satisfied and do was my client. I just ordered another for a Sony laptop with Windows XP, I'll post another review or edit this one later on.

I bought this to go with my new wireless N router. I was kind of bummed they do not make one which can handle the full speed of wireless n, but i figured half the speed would be a great improvement, plus the range increase would also be nice. i just opened it today and it is really really small. plugged it in and win 7 installed some generic driver before i could stop it, but it did not make a difference. followed the directions which came with the adapter and in about 5-10 minutes, i was connected. a few small items to take note of. you can use the win 7 wireless tool to connect to networks, however, whenever my computer shut off, went to sleep, etc, it would not auto connect (even though i told it to). turns out you have to use the airlink tool which gets installed to create a profile and then set that profile as the default profile. then, whenever you restart, turn on, wake it up, etc, it will auto connect without any issues (though the airlink tool does pop up every time).



the transmission speed works best when the router is set for full wireless n mode (some routers have a mixed mode). it connected in this mode, but the speed was half its max. setting the router to full wireless n resulted in full speed on the adapter side. other than that, it really works great. our internal connection to our network drive is much faster (transferred a 600MB movie in about 2.5 min, which used to take 5-6 min. the range has also improved (through 2 walls, i was still at 80% strength and 120 speed).



would def recommend.

Installation on my Thinkpad X61 running Windows XP was automatic -- XP found compatible drivers online (via my wired connection) immediately and I was up and running 802.11/n wireless within about 45 seconds. My real delight was in discovering that I was able to negotiate a 65mbps airlink with my Airport Extreme base station, and I was able to sustain that connection speed at the other end of my (large) home on another floor. I never expected a device so tiny to have such great range -- not with an antenna that must fit within 1/4" of plastic. But it actually has better range than the internal 802.11/n on my (new) Macbook Pro.



I'm almost tempted to buy up a few more of these just to have on hand and offer as adorable little gifts to friends. Impressive performance, inexpensive, and simply adorable. Seems like a technology no-brainers.

I got this card to work on my Mac OSX installation that I put on my HP laptop. This thing is 2x faster than the built in wireless N card the laptop came with. I used a speed testing website and several web browsers to test this out. Also, its the smallest thing ever. You don't even notice it. Way better than a bulky USB receiver. 100% signal strength no matter where I am in the house. (2 story). Using a D-Link G router by the way.





Great product!

I purchased the AWLL5088 wireless USB adapter because the airport card in my mac was causing kernel panics. I didn't want to shell out a bunch of money to install a new card on an older laptop, so I went with this cheaper option.



Even though the stats for the adaptor say that it's mac compatible, the package does not come with a mac installation CD. However, I was able to download the installation driver and manual for MAC OS X users from the Airlink 101 website at [...].



The signal strength of the USB adaptor isn't half as good as the original airport card (of course) but it does the job. The adaptor is cute, inconspicuous and looks like a mini flash drive. So, you won't be embarrassed to use it out in public. And considering the price, it's not too bad. - Usb Network Adapter - 80211n - Wireless Adapter - Usb Wireless Adapter'

Wedding Gift - digital photo frame, nix

Visit Store Now !!

Amazon's introductory prices for these NIX digital frames were enough in themselves to catch my attention. I started with the 7" model and, though my expectations were not high, sensed that the combination of the extra wide dimensions (necessitating constant repositioning of the frame) and lackluster resolution would result in my finding little if any use for the frame. NIX customer support was so helpful that I decided to stay with the brand but to move up to this 8" model. It's all the difference in the world and well worth the extra expense. First, the 4:3 dimensions of this frame assure that you can load it, start it, and forget it. No need to turn the frame on its long end to fill the frame for every vertically-oriented image. Even with auto rotation and split screen features, the extra wide (16:9) screens, or aspect ratios, of the lower-priced NIX and some of the other "stretched" frames introduce problems because of the different orientations of shots and the cropped or distorted shapes that frequently ensue upon tweaking an image to fill a frame. But there's more . . .



The picture of the 8" model, I'm convinced, has sharper definition and brighter, more pleasing colors--very close, if not equal, to a high-definition computer screen. Additionally, the slide show and transitions are performing more consistently, with the photos even showing more regularly in their correct--horizontal or vertical--orientation. And the size of the frame is such that a vertical photo, even though appearing in a frame that's slightly wider than it is high, does not look disproportionate. In fact, with this frame it's highly unlikely you'll turn the frame vertically to activate its "automatic orientation" feature. Finally, unlike the XO7B, which comes with a quick set-up sheet, the XO8A comes with a more informative and complete little booklet, including a trouble-shooting section (the instructions are perhaps less clear than those with the 7" model, but the frame is practically "plug and play," not requiring close examination of the manual. (If you do any tweaking, I'd recommend trying the automatic "crop" feature. It may reduce some of the area of your photos, but it won't distort or diminish size, consequently making it all the easier to keep the frame in a single, fixed position. I'm so satisfied with what this frame does for the photos taken with my Canon Elf (SD-780), I haven't even bothered to try out the video and music features. Frankly, they're not the reason I was in the market for a digital frame.



For either frame, it would undoubtedly be a good idea for many purchasers to order an inexpensive 2 GB flash card at the same time and to "dedicate" it exclusively for use in the frame (try to avoid the apparent "bundled" deal, which could cost you extra in postage. Instead, enter the item in "search" and order it from Amazon Prime, which offers a nice Kingston card for about five dollars). Finally, before calling or writing the company about a missing back-rest for this frame, notice that, unlike the 7" model (which employs a separate, detachable plastic piece), this 8" model has a handier, embedded telescoping silver rod. Simply use your thumbnail to pull it out of the back of the frame and you'll find it plenty sturdy for this lightweight frame.



Just a couple of caveats: First, the generally well-equipped audiophile is unlikely to make much use (if any) of the built in speakers and MP3 player. Second, the cost to the company of these added, perhaps mostly unused, features is likely reflected in the price. In that case, better the extra features were eliminated altogether or their expense devoted to the one feature that every user would certainly find most useful of all--a rechargeable battery, enabling cordless operation. These frames are currently undergoing rapid changes on the part of all manufacturers, so expect to see more cordless models, more onboard memory with convenient computer interfacing, and lower prices in the near future. But as anyone who has acquired any consumer technology in the last ten years knows all too well, such obsolescence goes with the territory (no longer is it a wise idea to spend a thousand or more on a TV set--these are not appreciating assets--in fact, quite the contrary).



RE: NIX Customer Support: I sent an e-mail with questions related to this model as well as a couple of others. The response was swift, extremely detailed, entirely personal (not an automated response), and very informative and helpful. (By contrast, Logitech offered to replace an entire keyboard with a bad key providing I e-mailed proof of purchase. I was extremely impressed and pleased, since I had hoped for, at most, a single replacement key. However, despite my 3 attempts to mail them my Amazon invoice--everything from a Jpeg to PDF to screen shot--I received the automatic response: "Your requested evidence of purchase is inadequate. Use a different format." If that's a company's version of "customer service," I'd rather receive service from another company, or no service at all, rather that repeatedly feel like someone is jerking my chain.)] NIX N' EASY X08B - 8 Inch Hi Resolution SVGA Digital Photo Frame - Photo, Video, Music, Splitscreen Option, Slim Design

I was looking for a digital frame for my husbands office and decided on the NIX x08A frame based on the affordable price. It was $10 dollars less than a Kodak digital photo frame (Kodak Easyshare P730m) with the added capability of playing videos and music.



Pros:

- Frame was delivered super fast (two days) and shipping was free.

- Setups between two frames is fairly easy when using a usb flash drive. The NIX does have a remote which helps to keep fingerprints off frame. The Kodak menu is a bit more sophisticated and pretty to look at.

- I like the built in frame stand on the NIX.

-Sound is decent when playing videos. Did not try playing music on this frame.



Cons:

-The screen quality was not as vibrant as the Kodak EasyShare. I tried adjusting the contrast and brightness but the Kodak frame was just superior straight out of box.

-The buttons on the back of frame is a bit sticky and I had to push really hard before it responded.

- USB flash drive not hidden by frame. I used a 1" flash drive and it was still visible from the front of frame.



Overall, the frame is decent for the price. - Nix - Accessories - Digital Photo Frame - Digital Picture Frame'

Local Dimming - local dimming, 3d

Visit Store Now !!

This is a weird purchase for me, coming from being a SONY & Samsung Fanboy. This is the most outstanding 2D picture I have ever laid my eyes on, and I have seen many High-end Television sets. I almost bought a Sony XBR-HX909 for the super high reviews on its amazing 2D image. But once I saw the 3D image I was a bit thrown off by the 3D technology, after already owning a Panasonic 3D Viera which was much better. So this is what I have gathered from my total experience with the Vizio 3D HDTV:



-PROS-

+The purchased place with Amazon was better than I thought it would have been. Easy, Fast, Free Shipping, NO TAX (Tax is around $115 if you buy from a store), and perfectly cared for; Sam's Club is scary, lol.



+47 inches of "OMG! It is bigger than I thought." This set gives so much at this price, quality, and Size!!!



+The LED television is thicker, due to the 160 LEDs being directly behind the screen. This makes for better contrast that will blow your mind away!!! I have never seen this kind of true black on a set ever before. Sony sells this technology for around $3,500; yikes!



+Features, Features, Features!!! The WiFi works amazingly. The Netflix app play videos at a higher resolution than my PS3 or computer using HDMI. The WebTV programs are limited but they are great, like Revision3. There is Vudu rental, Amazon Steaming, and of course Netflix. There is Pandora and a radio app for local radio station; or any state you want.



+The best built-in speakers! The sound is out outrageous, there is simply no thin TV that can house speaker like the ones on this set. I was going to buy a 5.1 Dolby system for the room, but I only turn the volume up 20% on the Vizio. I recommend to turn Truevolume off, if causes weird volume changes. This feature is on most Televisions with different names, but always cause volume issues; much like ipod's volume settings.



+The remote is bluetooth and an amazing little device. All remotes should be like this one!!! It is universal, and automatically has the codes in the television for all devices but the PS3; due to the PS3 syncing. But the XBOX 360 is compatible! TIVO, DirectTV, etc. The keyboard is great for the apps and Facebook! Since it is bluetooth, like the PS3 Blu-ray remote, the signal is always connected, so the buttons are harder to press so you don't accidentally change channels. This is a good thing.



+Bluetooth means wireless headphones so you don't bother others who don't want to hear the TV; like my girlfriend when she is sleeping. You can buy Vizio's headsets, or any bluetooth headset you may have will work as well.



+The accessories like the Vizio Router, Bluetooth Headset, or Vizio Stereo equipment are made easy and for a great price (high ratings from CNET). The 3D Glasses are sold seperately, but only cost around $150 for two rechargeable glasses. That is about the price that SONY or Samsung sells for one Pair!!! Very Cheap for 3D!!! 2 SONY pairs will buy you 4 Vizio pairs. A lot of the other 3D TVs come with one pair, or no glasses at all.



+The Price is dead on with AWESOME!!! It is robbery!!! I payed $1500, and chose Amazon after the tax factor of buying in a store. The 480hz (really 240hz) makes 2D images amazing, and not look fake at all! Remember to turn this feature all the way to high, because it is turned off out-of-the-box.



Okay, well here is the BAD:



CONS

-There is no SD slot, but this is not a problem really. There is 3 USB ports! 3!!! I never used the SD slot on my Panasonic, it is kind of useless.



-The 3D is not like my Plasma 3D. BUT!!! The Plasma does great 3D, but not a great 2D image. 3D is a fun factor, don't take it seriously and you will be fine. The ghosting issue is present, but it is present on every 3D set I have seen but the Panasonic 3D Plasmas. The 3D can be down right horrible on the PS3 video games at times, but does okay on the movies. Remember that 3D is not a every moment thing on this set. It is used rarely and on all 3D pictures you can turn it off to 2D. I personally like the 3D and the glasses, but don't think that there will be any set better than this, other than the Plasmas. The real focus should be that the TVs 480hz (really 240hz) is used for better 3d, but really make the biggest difference on the 2D image; which is amazing!



-Size, is a bit thicker, but it is because it has to be in order to produce the images at the 10,000,000:1 Contrast. I think the set is beautiful, and my friends freak out how beautiful it is in person! So Size is nothing but a few inches difference. You should really not worry about size though, you can't see how thick the TV is, but you can tell the Image difference.



IN THE END

This Television out preforms all the Television set I have seen, even the Samsung 8000 series. It has so many features, you will feel that you just robbed Vizio of their money about $1000. The 3D is okay, but you shouldn't worry; no one will have a TV even close in quality to this one! The accessories are great, with amazing prices. You will ultimately feel that you are leagues ahead of any other TV. The black are literally black (the led turn off), the whites are bright as all hell, the color are beyond anything you know! You cannot go wrong with this purchase. I hate to say it, but Vizio converted me away from the other brands (Sony, Samsung, etc.). The Reviews from CNET are endlessly great too! This should be the happiest purchase on a Television set you will ever have. Good luck, and feel free to post extra question, I will answer back :) VIZIO XVT3D474SV 47-Inch Full HD 3D Full Array TruLED with Smart Dimming LCD HDTV 480 Hz SPS with VIZIO Internet Apps

I just purchased this TV and I'm still in the process of doing everything with it, but I'm here to give an honest first impression. I'm actually using my computer connected to this TV to write this review and let me say that in my tiny bedroom this TV is massive. It looks great with my computer connected via RGB and there is little to no lag. I just watched KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas on the TV last night and the stream looked pretty good for what it was. The 2D picture is fantastic on this product and both my PS3 and Xbox 360 look amazing on it. The 3D needs work and I knew that coming into this TV. There is some ghosting of the image when watching 3D, but it does it's job well enough. You will definitely notice ghosting on anything other than Blu-ray 3D and titles in general. I'm not happy about it, but what can you do? I'm not using a certified 3D HDMI cable, so maybe that's an issue? I know it's a high speed HDMI cable, so it should be good enough. I did just order an Amazon High Speed 3D supported cable though to see if there is a difference. I'll update this review with my findings. I'd say the 3D is not a must for this TV, but is a cool extra. I watched a 3D Hockey game last night that was broadcast on Xfinity 3D in my area. It was pretty cool, but the ghosting is plentiful. If you don't know what I mean by ghosting, well I mean that you can see a shadow of the image behind the 3D image and it makes everything a bit blurry. The score graphic on the Hockey game looked horrible as do the static titles in most 3D cases. I would not recommend buying the 3D GLASSES, WHICH HAVE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. I bought mine at Sam's Club for about $160 and I was happy for that price. I still would caution anyone expecting perfect 3Dm which is a let down when you don't feel it's perfect after spending so much money. Vizio should really bundle at least one pair of 3d glasses, especially since the technology is not up to snuff. I tried some of the Vizio Internet Apps and the Yahoo Weather is cool, so is the Amzon Video(Thanks for the $5 video credit!) Netflix seems to work, but it as SUPER SLOW for me through wireless connection and my bars are almost full. I thought the TV froze it was so slow. Maybe being connected with Ethernet directly would change this. Anyway, here are some pros and cons, if you have any questions email me at: Doofus88@gmail.com



PROS:



-Great 2D picture

-3D option is nice

-Works well with connected computers, PS3, and Xbox 360.

-Sound is pretty good, mind you I'm in a tiny room.

-Internet Apps are nice, but Netflix seemed slow over wireless.



CONS:



-3D technology not good enough for the high price tag.

-Expensive 3D glasses that are NOT INCLUDED.



SIDE COMMENT:



I also want to comment that Amazon uses Pilot for shipping and they really suck. DON'T EXPECT YOUR TV TO BE DELIVERED ON THE DAY YOU SCHEDULE ON AMAZON. I got mine Saturday and it was supposed to be delivered Thursday. Pilot's costumer service was rude and the delivery man did not handle my TV with care. I just wanted everyone who orders to know that.

UPDATE: 12-18-10



Just a few updates for my review here. One thing I did is add attributes for different aspects of this TV.



3D UPDATE

I got the new Amazon HDMI cable that supports 3D and is highspeed and the 3D effect is still the same. I think it works the best on Blu-Ray 3D movies. A Christmas Carol looks great and The Polar Express look really good. There still is some ghosting issues with them, although they have the least of it. I also have a PS3 and played Wipeout HD in 3D, which was ok, but still had lots of ghosting. Pacific Rift really did not look good at all in 3D though, lots of ghosting. I'm curious if it's just that those games were converted and I'll have to wait to get a game made for 3D to really get a great 3D game experience.



SOUND

When I was watching a Blu-ray on my PS3 I noticed some popping randomly during the movie. There are small, but still noticeable. I contacted Vizio and asked them what the best set up for sound through the TV would be. Their online chat is really helpful, really good service, and they told me what exactly to do. I think I still notice it sometimes, but overall I think it's gone. I will update more on this since this could be a potential problem. I think I should be able to use all the settings on for this TV. My settings for anyone if they want to know are...

Both SRS settings off.

PCM for digital output.

Audio mode: Flat



Picture

Just a small thing to nit pick about. I noticed on my Blu-Rays that they sometimes look grainy. I know it's not the TV though because all my games look perfect and no grain anywhere. I think that due to the size of the TV and now close I am, I just notice the small details of the digital transfer more. Or if the movie was shot on film, I notice the grain more. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just wanted to point that out.



I hope my updates help everyone.



****UPDATE 2: January 31st, 2011****



Just a reminder to people who read my review to read the comments on my post to see if I answer any more of your questions while talking with other people. I do also want to state I contacted Amazon once and had the TV exchanged for a new one of the same model because I was unhappy with the "backlight bleed" I was experiencing. My current TV does not have any bleed, just to update. I think it's a serious problem though, so watch out if you get this TV and see that there is a brighter spot somewhere when there is a black screen. - 240hz - Led - Local Dimming - 3d'

Americans seem to have a blind spot when it comes to history. We can't see the value of learning about the past, and applying its lessons to the present. We're arrogant enough with our vast wealth and power to believe that we invented everything first. Or we simply don't see the value of history, as a resource, as object lesson, as holding some answers to today's dilemmas. Brandeis University professor David Hackett Fischer acknowledges this blind spot and takes the long view in "The Great Wave." Utilizing a very long telescope, one that sees back as far as the Dark Ages, Fischer investigates the history of price changes to expound on a fascinating theory that can possibly foretell nothing less than the future of the United States, whether we're headed for an era of greater prosperity, or a catastrophe like that of the Great Depression. Fischer's long-view theme is similar to more popular and populist works that spring up like daffodils and last about as long: Toffler's "Fourth Wave" and "Future Shock" easily come to mind, and politicians have their favorite advocates of either the "future's so bright we got to wear shades" school of eternal optimism, or the "hunker down, boys, the Japanese / Germans / Latinos / big business / lower classes are coming over the walls" school. The theory behind "The Great Wave," in contrast, is the real thing, backed by solid research, not the author's political leanings. By examining the prices people paid for goods throughout history, four "price revolutions" were identified, each followed by a long period when prices were relatively stable. The intensity and length of each revolution was different, lasting as short as 80 years, to as long as 180 years. What provides the kick behind this notion is how this series of rising and fallings have had on the growth of society. In general, rising prices placed severe stresses on society at large. During the first three upticks (during the Medieval, 16th century and 18th century periods), bad weather added to the troubles by destroying harvests, leading to widespread starvation. The lower classes, squeezed between prices for basic foods they could no longer pay, as well as laws passed by the wealthy classes who wished to protect their investments, lead to catastrophes such as social revolution or a population-reducing plague. That would restabilize prices and, in general, give everybody a chance to catch their breath. Once the shocks of the collapse have passed, the society finds that prices have stabilized, and the population at large begins to recover. When times are good, the population tends to increase. This places stresses on food and fuel, triggering inflation. Continued prosperity increases the cycle of growth and demand, and added to the troubles are the occasional wars, when ambitious people felt comfortable enough with the status quo to demand more of it. This is a simplistic rendering in a review of what is actually a rather simple theory to understand in practice. Fischer tells the story of each wave, and the cause-and-effect patterns are so clear that it seems like one is reading the same story four times, with only the names of the players changed. Fischer's book looks intimidating at first. Its 536 pages is studded with charts showing the fluctuation of prices throughout history. But Fischer devotes only 258 pages to an analysis of prices waves; the rest of the book is taken up with appendices and essays on side issues. And the 258 pages contains 105 charts, further reducing the amount of reading needed to grasp the main points. Economics has been called the dismal science, but Fischer's work offers a cautionary story that is readily understandable and surprisingly compelling to the general reader. Where Fischer says we are on the next wave, I'll leave to those willing to make the effort. "The Great Wave" is well worth the journey. The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History

Fischer's book takes in a long view of basic economic history. It covers the period from roughly 1200 AD to present, using data from England, Europe and the United States. The book sizes up what has taken place economically, socially, etc. and it discusses some basic relationships. A great contribution of the book is that it becomes apparent to the reader that long term effects are frequently completely invisible to people coping with present economic situations. For example, many well-intended fiscal policies are counter-productive or produce neutral effects for this very reason. Another great supporting contribution of the book is that Fischer is well aware of the various schools of economic thought. At many places in the text, he points out weaknesses of certain theories; in his appendix he summarizes by showing that no existing single theory fully explains actual historical events. Another great contribution is the appendix itself. It comprises half the book, and contains a massive bibliography, with further elaborations on social issues, crime, disease, divorce, contrasts in economic theories, wealth distribution, and more. Most of the references are of high scholarly quality. There are a few shortcomings in presentation, but these are details. For example, Fischer occasionally makes asides which would be more effective if they were concise summaries. Also, some of his graphs have peculiar scaling. The reader must exercise care in interpreting them. Nevertheless, ... Fischer's work is an excellent overview of economic dynamics, and is highly recommended for obtaining a well-rounded perspective.

Utilizing a very long telescope, one that sees back into the Dark Ages, Brandise University professor David Hackett Fischer investigates the history of price changes to expound on a fascinating theory that can possibly foretell nothing less than the future of the United States, whether we're headed for an era of greater prosperity, or a catastrophe like that of the Great Depression.

By examining the prices people paid for goods throughout history, four price-revolutions, were identified, where inflation grew in intensity strong enough to destabilize society. After each crash came a long period of comparative price-equilibrium, when countries experienced growth in culture, such as during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.

Fischer's book looks intimidating: its 536 pages is studded with charts showing the flucturation of prices throughout history. But Fishcher devotes only 258 pages to an analysis of prices waves; the rest of the book is taken up with appendices and essays on side issues. And the 258 pages contains 105 charts, further reducing the amount of reading needed to grasp the main points. Fischer retells history during the four waves, and there, except for the occasional burst of economic jargon, the text is compelling, and the theory well worth considering.

These are staples. I use them in my SENCO pneumatic narrow-crown staple gun. There's not much to say, other than these are galvanized instead of being finished with Sencote (which is more of a premium galvanized finish). There's nothing wrong with plain galvanized for cedar shakes, so that doesn't really bother me and they're a third of the price of the Sencote finished version.

Cordless Drill

I had an XRP that I used for 10 years and it was a great drill and it still runs but the case cracked on it and the drill tries to split in two when I use it. So i decided to order this one and I know De Walt has had some quality issues in the past but they have been fixed with this model. I have actually broke paddle bits with this drill. and the all metal chuck and shaft is great for long term usage. Bare-Tool DEWALT DCD950B 1/2-Inch 18-Volt XRPHammerdrill/Drill/Driver (Tool Only, No Battery)

I own a different model DEWALT cordless drill which I use regularly and really like. The DEWALT drills are built for rugged use. I purchased the DEWALT DCD950B 1/2-inch XRPHammerdrill/Drill/Driver as a backup drill and one for drilling into concrete or brick. I read reviews before purchasing where folks who purchased this same model had difficulty with the drill operating regularly. Upon arrival of my drill, I quickly pulled the trigger a few times and all seemed well. It mostly sat for a couple of months until yesterday when I needed two drills for a floor project where I didn't want to have to keep changing bits. Well, my newer hammerdrill worked sometimes and sometimes not. When it failed, the work light would go dim and the motor would not operate. If I turned the mode selectors and kept pulling the trigger, I could usually get it to start operating again until the next failure. This was quite aggravating. The good part was when I called Amazon.com and explained the problem, they immediately shipped me a replacement and expedited the shipping so that it will arrive in one day (tomorrow)! You can't beat that for good service. I can only hope that the replacement drill doesn't have the same problem. Thanks Amazon.com!

I purchased the 950 as a second 18V Dewalt cordless to support my work in homebuilding/remodeling and furniture making. I already have another 18V Dewalt and this gave me the added hammer drive feature plus a second drill/driver. I have had the older one for some 6 years. It is a work horse although a bit heavy when you use it for extended periods especially overhead. The new 950 is a work horse as well and is made a bit sturdier with the metal drive train. It too is heavy. Neither drill/driver disappoints in terms of power. I have 4 batteries and only the non XRP batteries wane in heavy use. By the way I just learned that I can use the new Lithium batteries with either drill driver. I think this is a great design consideration on the part of Dewalt! Certainly this will lighten the unit in use. I will have to wait and see regarding balance when I purchase the Li ION batteries.



The 950 has one LED to light the way and it is a handy feature but I do notice that in some areas the shadow the head casts makes the light somewhat less effective.



I had an unpleasant experience with the first 950 I ordered. I was using it to install a storm door, i.e. light duty.I had freshly charged batteries and within just a few screw installs it would not operate upon trigger actuation. The LED would light but the drill motor did not turn in the low speed setting. I found that switching to the second or third speed setting would allow normal operation, even if I switched back to the lowest speed. Needless to say I sent it back. A new one arrived very quickly and seems to be OK although I did experience the same event once more (one time).



So why did I rate this as a 4 star you say? Primarily because it is a workhorse and I expect it to hold up as my other unit does. I find the hammer drill feature to be the answer to driving deck lags and drilling into concrete for TapCons. I also like the fact that I can swap in/out Li ION batteries and finally the price was right.

I have used Dewalt power tools for about 12 years. I like the torque of their 18V. drill/drivers. I just bought a pair of replacement batteries for my "older" equipment and this drill appeared on the Amazon site. I needed a hammer drill so I picked it up. Less than a $100 is a good price for the drill.

I got this drill in the 9 tool set, and the only tool I use more is the impact driver. I used this to drill 1/2 holes in locust and I had to put my leg against the drill, because it has so much torque. The chuck is great and I've never had a bit slip. It's so strong, in fact, that when I was drilling those 1/2 holes, the chuck dug in slightly to the bit, leaving 3 small lines in the solid cobalt drill bit.



My only complaint is that it won't go into 1st gear sometimes, but running it in 3rd and them going to 1st seems to fix that problem.

This is a great price for the Dewalt Hammerdrill. Cost me $69 bucks for a new trigger on my current drill, so for not much more, I now have a new one as backup. Great since I already have a bunch of batteries and chargers and just needed a drill. Thanks guys!

This is my second 1/2 inch 18v DeWalt hammer drill. The first one is now 10 years old, has a cracked case, the gears are whining, and the smoke is threatening to get out of the motor; altogether not too bad considering the work that drill motor has done in its life. I smoked two different corded drill motors on one project and completed the project easily with the battery drill. I have some critical projects going and saw the deal on the bare tool and jumped at it. The new one is superior in every respect. More power, better balance, only a couple ounces more weight. The chuck is infinitely better, the gear change is smoother, and the torque controls are easier to use. I can drive 3-1/2" wood screws in high gear with no issues with this one; the last one struggled in mid-gear. I think this one will take more abuse as well because the design of the frame was changed to better distribute the forces of turning a bit and bouncing off the concrete from the top of a ladder as well. Considering the fact that I was very pleased with the older drill motor, the new one is exceptional!'

Iridium - civic, spark plugs

Visit Store Now !!

Picked up a set of these to replace the stock NKGs on my 2005 Honda Accord 4 cylinder after 97k miles. The originals were still good -- just doing a spring-time overhaul.



Engine felt smoother although that could be psychological. What is real, however, is a solid and consistent 2 MPG increase in fuel economy from what I was averaging over the last 60k miles.



I'll try to update this review after 30k miles or so. Denso (5304) IK20 Iridium Spark Plug, Pack of 1

This fits in 1999-2003 Toyota Sienna. Trick to replace the three spark plugs in the back is to remove the windsheld wipers and the plastic piece for intake air and rain water collector -- a big piece from left to right.



After the spark plugs replaced, the engine runs smooth, starts faster. Since Iridium is very expensive, the tip is little -- 0.4mm in size, so that it can spark easily. Denso's web site says it has life 60,000 miles. Denso also developed one for Toyota and Lexus that has 0.7mm tip, that one can last 120,000 miles. 0.4mm has more precise ignition time, so that better fuel econemy.



Until recently, platinum was considered the best material to use on the top of an electrode because of its durability. However, Iridium is 6 times harder, 8 times stronger, and has a melting point 1200 degrees higher than platinum. Put that into a harsh environment such as an engine piston chamber, and you have a spark plug that can resist wear much better than platinum.

I just installed a set of these in my 2001 GL1800. I previously had NGK standard plugs with under 1,000 miles on them and AC Rapidfire plugs with 24,000 miles on them.



The AC Rapidfire plugs were my previous favorite, but it seems they are not the same plug anymore, having lost the serrated center electrode. The Rapidfires I had previously installed were the non-serrated type. They still provided faster starts than new NGK plugs, but not the improvement I had witnessed in other engines with the serrated Rapidfires.



The IK20s, which, in spite of the title and picture, are Iridium Power plugs, provided about a 1/2 second start time, where new NGKs gave a slightly longer than one second start, and the Rapidfires gave a slightly less than one second start. The engine is running smoother than with the 24,000 mile Rapidfires, but that is no suprise. I can't tell if it is running smoother than with new Rapidfires, as the difference is negligable. That is the extent of my review so far, as I have not yet collected enough data to see if I get a fuel economy change, and the power difference is too negligable for me to tell.



The Iridium Power spark plug is good for 30,000 miles as per the Denso FAQ. If a 5% fuel economy gain is achieved, then the plugs will pay for themselves a couple of times in that time.



There is also a Denso Iridium Tough plug available, the VK20, which is supposed to give less of the benefits of the Iridium power, but last 60,000 miles while still giving improvements over conventional plugs.

I have been using iridium since 2001 on my civic. I saw quite a few comment about lifespan of the plug.

My denso iridum on the box said good for 250000 miles, and my civic is at 260000 and still running swell.

So they do last long, unless they reduce the quality so denso can make more $$.

After reading reviews, talking to mechanics and taking auto manufacturers relationships with suppliers as sceptic, I tried these plugs in my Mini Cooper 2003 (a hesitant slug) which was seen by the reputable dealer with this complaint. Never improved after their expensive tuneups. With near recommended gap (all 4 matched) , the hesitation is gone. Normal heat range, these inspire you to drive more sportingly with somewhat greater efficiency, yet the real gain is in sureness entering highways. The previous factory recommended plugs do not come close. They (set up correctly still hesitated) Makes you wonder? I put 5 in my wife"s Volvo V70 with similar yet less dramatic improvement. Is this rather subtle company one of those best kept secrets?

I recently bought a set of 6 Denso IK20 Iridium spark plugs for my girlfriends jetta vr6. They were a direct replacement of the oem's and installed smoothly. The car desperately needed a new set and now runs great. Awesome price and free shipping is nice too.

Just a warning for everyone, these are NOT for Audi's. The gap on these is .044" (1.1mm) which is incorrect. the Audi must be at .032" (0.8mm) for OEM standards. I spoke to Denso support and they have it incorrectly listed on the Audi 2.7T engine as a .044", in their master book it's a blank so they didn't actually know the gap and therefore assumed it to be the default for the part which is 0.044". BUT WAIT!!! you would think, no prob, just adjust the gap right? WRONG.... IR plugs and their tiny spark tip are extremely fragile and you WILL BREAK THEM!!! don't cost yourself $50+ in broken plugs or have the hassle of all that work just to return these because the replacement work on an Audi is multiple hours of tear-down. Do yourself a favor and don't buy... After my mess and hours of research I found that the NKG 6458 PFR6Q is the best plug you can get, it's what Audi installs from the factory and that is correctly gapped. - Civic - Spark Plugs - Iridium - Fuel Economy'

It was easy to put on. The weight guidance was great because it fits me well. It is comfortable, and while not a miracle worker, it makes a world of difference in how certain dresses fit (so now I can wear them) and certain shirts.
