Just love my FURminator. We have a Doberman mix and it works great on him.
My girlfriend tried it on her dog, which has longer hair and it worked also just find. So she had to have one!
There is a lot less hair in the house. Thanks to this product I cut my vacuum time in half.
Ventura Bicycle Chain
This product was what I hoped it would be when I installed it. Installation was easy, and I loaded it on a new computer with Windows 7 (64 bit), which I was a little concerned about since this program is 32 bit. So far it works great with no hiccups. If something should eventually come up I’ll post another review, but for now it works fine.
Pyramid Mx Alloy Bicycle
I refused to purchase expensive HDMI cables and saw the staff reviews at CNet that said “under no circumstances should you buy expensive cables”. Their tests showed the cheap cables were identical to the expensive in all ways. I have found this to be true. Picture and sound quality on my 52″ 1080p is excellent under all circumstances while hooked up with these cables. In addition, they were shipped quickly. Don’t believe the cable hype…buy these and save some money.

Chose this scale because of the attractive price, good reviews, large display and the ” No Tap” feature. As good
or better than the reviews indicated, the repeatable accuracy is unnerving. I could get my other scale to weigh
more or less just by repeating the procedure. A nice feature when I am trying to delay the day of reckoning. My wife finds this scale to be as accurate as her Weight Watchers scale and an attractive addition to the bathroom.
Bicycle Stem 22 2
I bought this lock because I needed a lightweight lock to travel with. Judging from the picture I thought the cable would be easy to cut with bolt cutters. That is not the case with this lock, since the cable is encased in a hard plastic shell.
So if a thief is carrying bolt cutters strong enough to cut this lock/cable, then guess what, the thief is going to steal your bike no matter what kind of lock you have with you.
OnGuard Akita 5041 Bicycle
As an experienced cyclist who relocated to Manhattan in the summer of `04, I wanted to purchase the most theft resistant chain available. My ambition was to use my Trek 3900 for both exercise and transportation, while not having to constantly worry about it having it stolen. Having experienced several bicycle and bicycle part thefts in Boston and Chicago, I decided to thoroughly research bicycle chains and locks. Stories about the vulnerability of U-locks and the clearly stated Kryptonite null-and-void-in-New-York warranty steered me towards a hex chain made by OnGuard.
As a previous owner of Kryptonite and Master U-locks, I initially wanted to stick with a tested brand. However, lessening the appeal of Kryptonite locks was a widely publicized story in 2004 explaining how a design flaw in certain models allowed them to be compromised with a Bic pen(!), causing a recall. In Chicago, I had a frame destroyed when one thief attempted to break a Master U-lock with a long pipe. While this failed attempt slightly bent the U-lock, it collapsed the main tube of the bicycle. Hence, I thought using a chain manufactured slightly lesser-known brand without publicized vulnerabilities would be a good idea — much like purchasing a Mac would protect against Windows viruses.
After one year of use, I have been very happy with the 12mm Beast Chain. At 9.5 pounds, this chain is at the upper limit of what one can affix to the bicycle and still be able to ride it. In my case, I am able to rap it around the seat post and have enough clearance for my legs. For a typical bicycle, the chain adds about 40% to the overall weight. When I purchased this lock, I was unaware that a 14mm, 15 pound version existed. Even so, I would not have purchased this model, which is more appropriate for a motorcycle or piece of construction equipment.
The design of the Beast chain is exemplary. In addition to having very long, thin keys and complementary keyhole, there is a sliding keyhole cover, making t
OnGuard Beast 5018 Bicycle
I bought this 8gb card for my new Sony DSC-TX7 which takes photos and records 1920×1080i hd video in avchd format, and is one of the few Sony cameras not limited to Sony memory stick types. I contemplated buying a Sony card which is more expensive but after researching came to the conclusion this less expensive card would offer good performance. So far it works great. Writing and reading speed for video and photos has been excellent, no issues. As long as it remains reliable it’s a good buy.
Nirve BadAss Cruiser Bicycle
Was notified by supplier when item would be shipped –which it was shipped on time arrived on time in excellent condition–would recommend both product and supplier as being great.
Would order from them again in a heart beat
Fizik Dual Bicycle Bar
This product is very well engineered and easy to use. Our carpet was cleaner than when we had professionals clean it. Moreover, it was dryer than when the professional cleaned it. We even used it on room size and smaller oriental rugs that we have been afraid to clean. It uncovered the long lost vibrant colors. Now, getting these results takes time and patients. Go slowly and be prepared to refill the solution and empty the recovery tank often. Also buy plenty of solution. We found that the Hoover carpet/upholstery detergent worked well without pre-treating stains. However, ordering that on-line was not satisfactory.
