this is a great vacuum cleaner!! I have purchased more expensive ones in the past even at one point had bought a $900 vacuum cleaner. This one works just as well or better and for the price you cant beat it. The only negative thing about it is the hose used to vacuum stairs and drapes, its not made very well. other then that great job hoover!! I highly recomend

Bought a nerf sniper gun for my little brother and got the extra darts since you can never find them all after shooting the gun.

Fun Nerf gun and accessories.

I would not recommend buying this watch. The plastic casing is very brittle. Within one month all four arms that the pins for the band go into broke off. I was able to glue the first two back on, but the second two broke I was riding a bike and there no way I could have found those little pieces of plastic. I have bought inexpensive Casio watches in the past and have been very pleased with them, but it appears that the quality of this watch has been reduced to an unacceptable level.

I ORDER THIS BOOK FOR MY BOYFRIEND WHO IS IN PRISON AND THE ONLY WAY HE CAN GET BOOKS ARE THREW AMAZON. I WAS HAPPY THAT HE GOT IT.

Pedometer arrived in excess shipping materials — looked like I ordered a tank — but in perfect shape. Other comment regarding clip not working well is noteworthy as I discovered the same problem. But it keeps great information, is easy to use, and what I wanted. Thank you.

Okay, so you read about how this thing really can suck… well, I’m here to say that it will suck the rug off the floor and right up into the agitator! What a vacuum!

I’ve owned this scale for two months now, and I use it daily, always in the same place and at the same time of day. The reading seems to be fairly accurate from day to day. However, I’ve noticed a couple quirks that can result in a false reading. The first is that the scale does not always give an accurate reading the first time I step on it, and the second is that the scale will remember the last reading for at least a couple minutes or longer. (I realize the second problem contradicts what a previous reviewer stated; this is my own experience.)

Here’s how I discovered those idiosyncrasies:

I’ve tried weighing myself alone and while holding something weighing a couple pounds (a waste basket or hair dryer, for example). It’s good to see that the scale registers a difference between the two weights. However, if I weigh myself alone for the first weighing of the day, then a few seconds after while holding something, then alone again, I’ll get two different readings for the two alone weights. I’ve also tried weighing myself twice in a row at the start of the day, then while holding something, then alone again, and the first two alone readings would be the same but inaccurate, and the third alone reading would be correct (or at least consistent from that point forward, whether I hold something between readings or not).

My solution:

I take the first weighing of the day while holding something, which I suppose wakes up the scale and prepares it for the real deal. Then I step off, put down the object, and re-weigh myself. That second reading is the accurate one for the day. It’s a little annoying, but it works.

Also, the scale does change slightly sometimes depending on its placement on the floor, but I’ve learned to keep it in one spot. It looks nice and the readout is bright and clear, so those are definite pluses to me.

I suppose I’d give this 3.5 stars overall.

Mine came and did not work. Per the directions, I stood on the scale, it was supposed to weigh me, and then calibrate. After calibration you are to step of the scale, let it turn off, and then step back on to get your actual weight. When I stood back on the scale, it weighed me as 0.0 lbs, I am no where near the 400lb max for this scale so there is no reason it shouldn’t have worked. Then, when I returned it to Amazon, it cost me $20 to send back, I only get reimbursed $8 from Amazon. So really I paid $12 so I could go back to having no scale at all. Thanks Amazon!

Pros: The cables work, ordered two.

Cons: None so far.

Ordered the cables based on price, but you might prefer something different for quality, do not get me wrong the quality of the cables are good, but if you are a cable buff you might prefer something else. Found a cheaper cable, but available was only one, and I wanted two of the same.
