I had to purchase this pedometer because I lost my previous one and was going crazy not knowing how much exercise I was getting. If I get home and see that I haven’t done much walking during the day, it spurs me to go take a walk in the evening. If I have exceeded my daily goal by a certain amount, I allow myself a treat (something with more calories than I would normally let myself eat).
I like that this model remembers my stats for a week, so that if I have a day where I don’t meet my target number of steps, I can still see if I’m averaging my goal for the week. It tracks “aerobic steps” – if you walk faster than a certain rate for more than 10 minutes. When I looked at past days on the old one, it would only show the number of aerobic steps and not the time spent walking aerobically. This one shows both, and for that statistic I am more interested in the time than the steps, so I appreciate this feature. The distance calculation works when I’m walking on level ground, but I spend a lot of time hiking in the mountains, and I take the distance with a grain of salt then, because I tend to take shorter strides on steep climbs. If you really want to track distance and don’t always walk on level ground, you probably need something more sophisticated.
I haven’t noticed if it’s the case with this one, but the only complaint I had about my old one, which was a previous version of this one, was that if I was moseying along at a particularly leisurely pace, it didn’t always register my steps.

Ok…so it’s not the most stylish piece of equipment but boy does it perform as advertised. The Garmin windshield mount is better than any on the market but even it has it’s moments where it can fall from the window at a bad time. The Garmin friction mount is simple and works great. I’ve slid pretty fast around some corners in my Silverado and the wife’s Pilot with this on the dash and it stayed right place. Quick and easy to stash in the console vs. the windshield mount as well.

For my Canon T2i, works very well and fast enough for HD video with no problems.

Very powerful vacuum — better than vacuums costing more than twice as much. Accessories all stored on vacuum for very easy access. Accessory hose permanently attached to vacuum for easy switching between upright vacuuming and vacuuming with nozzles. I am so satisfied with this vacuum, that I have bought 4 of these over the last year for myself and various family members.
