Got this specifically for use in my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 which records HD in AVCHD-Lite format, which requires a memory card with fast speed and high capacity. I was worried about trying the Transcend brand after reading a lot of horror stories here, but gave it a shot because of the great price.

To be safe, after any day of taking photos and recording video, I immediately move all the data onto my PC and reformat the card. I’ve been using the card for a few months now and have never experienced any issues with it. I find it so reliable that I just ordered and received my second card.

My bottom line is if you need a fast SDHC card for recording high def video and want to spend as little as possible, definitely consider giving this product a try. However, if you just need a card for snapping casual photos and maybe even recording some standard def video, there’s no reason you shouldn’t get a more reliable, less expensive SD card.

I didn’t expect a lot at this price and after my last cheap hoover which I used only a few times before giving to goodwill, I bought this purely on reviews.
CONS:
~It’s the LOUDEST vacuum I’ve ever owned. My ears ring after every use, I need to buy earplugs.
~Rattley, plastic and cheap, you are pushing around a load of rattley plastic..just feels so cheap.
~Hose is almost worthless. Kinked with first use, exceptionally poor quality, thin, short and needs replacement pronto.
~Does a terrible job on tile. Spits stuff everywhere. This is a shame, my house is 90% tile. I now have to use the cheap hose on the tile to pick up all the stuff not picked up but spit everywhere.
~Way too chunky, big and awkward to get under anything. Out comes that darn hose constantly…

PROS:
~Pretty blue color.
~Cheap price which is all I could do right now.
~Works great on my big rugs.
~I like “bagged” vacuums better than “bagless”, much less mess and easier for me to use so this is a pro.
~Pretty good suction although took the corners of many rugs and instantly caught them up inside..be careful.
~Hose, albeit cheap and kinks easily, has lots of power..TOO much..(pro or con here?) and sucks small rugs up so tightly you have to yank to get them off. There has to be a happy medium here with this darn hose. It works great in corners and stuff, however, because of the power. Just doesn’t reach far….
Kill the Record Labels

I had purchased this pedometer for my wife and myself and loved it so much that this one is a gift for a friend. I have never had one that is so easy to use and it is extremely accurate. You can’t go wrong with this one.
Casio Men s Classic

I looked at this for a long time before I bought it. No regrets! I haven’t tried sauce with it, but it’s on the agenda. Now, I’m someone that is more in love with gobs of hot milk than froth. This does an AMAZING job on froth, but I wanted more hot milk and not a lot of froth. So, after some experimenting, I just use the sauce whips for my lattes and hot chocolates. Absolutely fabulous. I pour in milk, add protein powder, fibersure, cocoa and sweetener, mix it a little by twisting the sauce whips back and forth a few times, turn it on and walk away. Four minutes later, I have a high protein, high fiber hot chocolate that will knock your socks off. My new favorite winter breakfast! This is worth every penny. I’ll update when I try hollandaise in this!
Froth Au Lait Froth

Much, much, much better than slicker brushes. I can’t even describe how much better it is. Highly recommend it.

LOVE THIS SCALE!

My old digital scale would read a different weight each time so you had to get on it at least three times to see what your weight was and then it would be different than the doctor’s scale.

This scale is fabulous. I have had it for five months now. You get on it once and that’s it. I love the smooth, flat surface which is super easy to keep clean and looks so sleek. Pretty attractive for a scale. The numbers are large so I don’t need my glasses to read it. Another plus is that it takes normal batteries which my old scale required specialized ones.

Still, another bonus with this scale is that I mail a lot of packages and I’m able to easily weigh large packages on it. The flat smooth surface is perfect for this and a great feature is that although the package may be so large that it covers the entire scale, the recorded weight remains long enough for me to see it after I have removed the package. A lot of scales lose the number when the weight is lifted.

I love this scale and would highly recommend it!

MED SNOOZER SHERPA TOP

The FURminator works really well & does reduce shedding. My only complaint is that it is expensive for a comb but if you are willing to pay for it you will love it!

Professional Hard LCD Cover

Man, I really am happy I went ahead and bought this steam cleaner. A trick I learned from the professionals is to BOIL the water before filling the clean water tank and I tell you what… I have a toddler and 2 dogs and LOVE how clean this got my carpets. It’s not a professional machine, and you will have to do a few passes to get it almost perfect, but the one time investment is really going to pay off!!!
30 PC ULTIMATE SUPER

This HDMI cable is definitely worth trying out. I mean, sure, there are better cables out there and sure enough, sometimes this cable doesn’t work. But when you’re comparing $3 with $20, or even $100, it’s hard to buy the more expensive one.

Even after reading all the other reviews saying that this might not work, I decided to try it. Why? Because the other cables or so expensive! I bought this to accompany my new monitor and if it doesn’t work, I still have the VGA cable that it came with and I’ll just go ahead and buy a better cable. But if this cable works, that’s $10 that I didn’t have to spend.

Oh by the way, when I set my computer to output 1080i, the computer screen got smaller. Until I found out that you have to set it to 1080p. Just thought I’d post it.
