My Garmin 265WT portable GPS unit arrived last month. Included with it was the window-shield suction mount. I tried it and it worked OK. It was a stable mount, but somewhat of a security pain-in-the-neck. Since security is an issue nowadays with portable GPS units, I had to remove the suction mount from the windwhield in order to hide it away each time I exited my car. Then, I had to re-attach it to the windshield again upon re-entering. I subsequently searched the Internet for alternative mounting devices. Nearly every user product review recommended the portable friction mount because of its ease of use and stability. I purchased one, and have been using it ever since. It has great stability due to its lockable “bean-bag” base, and I am able to install/uninstall it in seconds. It definitely is the way to go.

I bought several 4 G and 8 G Transcend SDHC cards from Amazon. I took them on a trip to Africa and they were reliable (format before using in camera!) and FAST too. Compare to the same products from other manufacturers (check the specs on the package) and also the prices in stores. The quality is top-notch and you can’t beat the price, not to mention no 6% or more sales tax, and no shipping. I’ve just ordered a 16G (the 32G will be next!).

So it doesn’t have the best tools and the beater brush never stops but this does a great job at vacuuming. For the price I don’t think it can be beat. I vacuum a lot and was so impressed by its performance I bought another one for a friend.
Toastmaster 1739 HAND BLENDER

I feel obligated to defend this terrific appliance against the “misguided” reviewer who likened it to a jack-hammer. That review gave me pause when I was considering ordering it. Fortunately I had faith in Amazon’s return policy and decided to give it a chance. It’s not at all too heavy or too large. I’m 5′ 3″ with small hands and it fits in my hand perfectly. It really is ergonomically designed. The power button falls directly under your fingers when you hold it. You have no need to change your grip until you’re through blending–which is next to no time. It blends thoroughly and efficiently. It does have enough weight to give you some control. You wouldn’t want something this powerful to be too light–it could just fly out of your grasp. This feels solid, is very attractive, and also appears to be very well made. I love it. If you think you might want an immersion blender (and if you cook, you do) you’ll love it too.

It should be noted that this is also called an immersion blender. I was confused by the two designations–hand blender/immersion blender. Apparently they are the same thing although listed separately.

My expensive Oreck vaccum was putting as much dust into the air as it was sucking from the carpets. I did everything to try to fix the darn thing and then started looking for a replacement. It was beginning to look like it would take $$$hundreds to get good performance then I read Consumer Reports and was surprised that the Hoover TEMPO rated so highly ….and at such a low price. I also checked out many the reviews on Amazon before I made my purchase. This is a really a terrific machine and it seriously SUCKS all the dirt up. After my first pass around the house with the new Tempo I was shocked at all the dust sucked out of the carpets I had just cleaned with the Oreck. I love this vacuum and would buy it again. Hoover does make a good product. I have have owned 2 in the past and they lasted forever. I have to say that it is a little on the loud side (thus the 4 rating) …..but then that’s the power of this vacuum and I wish the cord was a bit longer. The attachments are very effective too, and easy to put on/take off and they store ON the vacuum for easy access. Everything I need in one place.

Anywhere else you go your are going to be paying a minimum of $20 for the cables. Just on that small fact there these cables are definitely worth it.

I gave this as a gift, so I can’t comment on it, except the person that received it said it did a good job.
