  • Susan Fee - I Feel Less Hungry!

    I have to admit, I was not expecting much when I bought this. I had heard great things, but just figured it would not help me - that tends to be how my body reacts to these weight loss supplements.

  • Jason Perrigan - Great FUN, but Messy!!!

    My 6 year old daughter had a GREAT time with Pottery Cool Studio. It is really messy, but great fun. We found the more water you use, the better and easier the clay is to work with. Awesome that there are several clays to use to make different items- so it isn't a one time deal. The colored paints are very bright and colorful. I would highly recommend this item for any kid that loves the arts, and loves to get messy!!!

  • Nadya - Excel 2010: the missing manual

  • mavirek - Perfect But the Battery

    Since Nov I have had this vacuum. It is light, versatile, effective. Seriously I would recommend this vacuum to everyone. BUT the battery. First, it comes with a battery charger with a glowing blue indicator light instead of simple power gauge like on the vacuum itself. So when using the vacuum you can see how much charge you have left. When you are charging, you have to remember what strobing, blinking and steady mean. Second, you cannot leave the battery in the charger past a full charge. So no overnight charging. (It takes only 3 hours to charge.) Some people on these boards have said that you shouldn't even leave it in the vacuum when not in use. (The instructions don't state that.) Third and last, as some people experienced, the battery will just go haywire. My charger started blinking and not charging, apparently. I followed the troubleshooting, went online here to read everyone's helpful advice and now I'm waiting to call for warranty service tomorrow (while watching some generous ball placement by the refs in the Steelers-Jets game). If this experience goes well, I will be back here to change my rating to 4.0 (minus a star for having to go through all this, in the first place). If the experience exacerbates the problem, I will be back to tell you that too. I have appreciated other people posting so I can make an informed consumer choice, and I intend to return the favor.
