I’ve had this for nearly a year now, and it’s been the best vacuum I’ve owned. The suction is great and picks up after every mess I (and my cat) have made. There’s a lot of additions that are very useful.
The downsides: It’s heavy for me (I’m petite). I live in a 2-floor house and my entire 2nd floor is carpeted, whereas only half my 1st floor is carpeted. Carrying that thing up and down the stairs weekly is hard work already. My stairs are also carpeted, and the vacuum is too large to stay on a step without wanting to fall off, which means I have to clean the stairs with one hand and mind the vacuum with the other.
It’s also quite loud. I can’t hear anything — the phone, the radio, the door — when it’s on.
The additions, which are stored on the back, pop off easily.

It’s a cable and it works perfectly fine. There is a huge debate in the guitar community about cable quality as well. Folks will spend hundreds of dollars on a guitar cable when they can get a perfectly good one for $15-30. Well, this HDMI cable does what it’s supposed to do. Go ahead an pay more if you need to and convince yourself that all that money was worth it. For $2.50 how can you beat this?

Set up was minimal and easy. After setting, I marked off a distance of .5 miles from my house (by car odometer), then walked it with this new pedometer. It was right on target! Now I know how far I’m walking during a round of golf and I can safely say “It is too excercise!”

American literature has lost one of its most influential and everlasting voices.
The 305 is a huge improvement over earlier models. The GPS lock-time is significantly faster with the 305. I’ve gotten a GPS signal inside my house within 30 seconds. In addition, the smaller profile of the 305 makes it easier to use on a wrist. It looks and feels like a large wrist watch and not some monstrosity or rejected design for an ankle monitoring bracelet.
The software for Windows is excellent. Retrieving data from the 305 is a snap, and it is nice to overlay your running routes onto a map. I used to enter all my running data manually and it became cumbersome when I got lazy and forgot to record a year’s worth of data. It tracks and monitors your heart rate data if you have the heart rate sensor strap. Speaking of the sensor, it is very cumbersome and uncomfortable to use. I had the strap fall down to my waist numerous times. I had it above my pectoral muscles, under my pectoral muscles, tightened it, and did almost everything short of duct tape it to my skin each time and it never failed to loosen up and fall down to my waist. The data that it collected was acceptable at times, but more often than not I got erroneous data and it didn’t really contribute much to my running pattern. It is a great idea if the strap had been incorporated into the watch itself to monitor my pulse. I don’t see why I need to strap a huge wireless antenna to my chest to get the data.
The display is very clear and easy to read. The buttons feel very mushy and it isn’t just because of the silicone material that covers the buttons. There’s no tactile response so I second guess whenever I try to push a button. I had to set up the 3 screens the way I wanted, but there’s no speed display for joggers. You only get to see your pace, and speed is available only to bikers. However once you download the data to your PC, the speeds are available. In the older Forerunner, you could easily set it to display speed in MPH for jogging.
Pros: Easy to use once you spent the time to set it up, rec

And really, it is true. What else can I say? All has been already told in other reviews…
I have the book for many years, and during these years, I read it 8 times already. And you know what is funny? Each time I read it again, I discover a new world of wisdom that is hidden in this book and that I somehow missed before.
I believe that as I am evolving in my spiritual live, the book is also evolving. And I think, this is what makes the book so great.

I love this Garmin. My first GPS watch and it is great. It is great for running and biking!

I’m gonna keep this simple – this watch is fantastic. The worst thing about this product is it takes up to 5 mins to find a satellite – no big deal you can just stretch before you run/walk/ride.
I checked out all the feedback on here, realized that half of the negative comments are actually not problems with the actual watch, it’s user problems/Garmin cust service. I love this watch, it works great in the Mountains – forests etc I am yet to have a problem with it. Extremely accurate,especially the distance! I also love the fact you can check out your activity on Google earth
Lenspen Lens Cleaning System
Excellent! I’ve tried all kinds of tools! This has finally eliminated the tumbleweeds of dog hair in my house. Works on my shepard mix, husky mix, and lab/great dane mix.

I recently ordered this rack to load up 3 bikes so our family could ride some local trails. It arrived in the time frame given and it was in good shape. It set up well and seemed sturdy. However, there is no way on Earth that this rack would hold all 3 of our bikes. I’m not sure how they can advertise this item as being able to carry three bikes. It fit 2 just fine but anyone thinking about buying this for 3 I would recommend looking elsewhere. I am currently attempting to contact the vendor concerning it’s return policy and will update this review with that information.
