Before I was diagnosed with M.S. in 1977 I was an all around athlete. I pitched a mean fast ball in softball, was a rover in basketball (girl’s); played tennis at least once a week and bowled for fun. Well, now I can do the sports I loved thanks to my wii. I am now healthier and happier. Can’t wait to buy more games.

The other cool thing? I can watch instant play Netflix movies on my T.V. Woo Hoo!

I like this card. Not too expensive for the capacity (I paid less than $22) and the transfer speed seems okay (packaging rates it at 16MB/s). I bought it to add some music to my Garmin Nuvi 750 GPS and it works great for that after a one-day test. Some cards claim much faster transfer rates, so I gave it 4 stars. It took me several minutes to load a bit over 1 Gig of MP3s using the card slot in my notebook. I don’t really have anything to compare that to, so you be the judge. The Garmin accepted everything without any format hassles–it just worked. The packaging was a joy, came in a little reusable plastic case suitable for storage when not in the device. Recommended.

I really wanted to like this unit, and was very excited to try it out, but it’s going back after two days.
I bought this as an upgrade/replacement for a heart rate monitor, because I train for triathlon and am running my first half marathon this spring. On my first run, it was very easy to set up, sync up, and find satellites, and it worked beautifully. Unfortunately, however, as it is winter and I also enjoy spinning classes and indoor interval work in my training, this unit is going back.
Though it has a heart rate monitor, this is only used for telling you a current heart rate. The GPS is necessary in order to calculate calories burned, despite having my age, heart rate, activity, weight, and gender, and so this does not function on indoor mode, or in a gym, or on a trainer or spin bike. As such, through an spin class and an hour of lifting weights, I burned no calories, but on the drive home, I quickly went through like 58.
It’s pretty useless for people who want to do anything other than walk, run, and bike outdoors in clear weather, away from buildings. If you are in that niche market, I imagine it’s great, but for me, it is already on its way back.

I have owed carpet cleaners for over 10 years and use them in my home. I previously owned Bissell brand machines. Had a total of three. The first one was great, left carpet clean and fairly dry, so when it was time to replace I tried the new Bissells with 12 rows of carpet cleaners and heat….total disapointments. They left the carpet totally wet, leaked dirty water, nightmares…so back to Costco they went.

I decided on the Hoover SteamVac after reading the reviewes here. My experince so far has been that this machine is an over all good household cleaner, but has a couple of drawbacks.

Pros:
1. Great suction – leaves carpets only slightly moist – exactly what I would expect for quick dry times.
2. Separate clean and dirty water containers (easier to gauge need to refill/empty)
3. Hand tool has rotating brushes.
4. “CLEAN SURGE” deposits more cleaning solution.

Cons:
1. No way to stop the suction and have scrubbers do the work.
2. No additional heat added to the solution.
3. Hand tool hose not easily connected.
4. Hand tool hose feels ‘cheap’

re Cons. 1. Previous carpet cleaners I owned had a way to have the brushes continue rotating without suction. This machine uses the power of the suction to turn the brushes, it’s either both, or none. Same for the hand held tool.
2. Other machines add heat to the solution to keep it warm or heat it up. Once your solution is cold on this machine, it is cold on the floor. Not a major draw back but not a pro.
3. Connecting the hand tool hose is not very straight forward. Had to look at the instructions a couple of times before I figured it out. Have to connect to two different spots. Putting it away took looking at the instructions as well.
4. Don’t know how long the tool will last, but it doesn’t feel as high quality as others I have used.

Over all good buy for light to moderate house use. Worth the $$ I paid for it.
