Glad I went for the 30" model
922633
Have used three times this year so far and has made quick work of clearing half a foot of snow.  Glad I went for the 30" model.  It's also pretty manouevreable - both myself and my wife have used without any issues.  Electric start makes start-up easy.

I was a little nervous about purchasing this, because of the lack of reviews but I am glad I got this one as opposed to the all metal foundations.  After reading about the other ones I was concerned about the mattress shifting on the metal and I didn't want to have to purchase an additional non-slip grip thing.  So I opted for this one with wood slats.  There is another model with wood slats too that has twice as many pieces of wood half of this size, but I liked the single slat across the width of the bed more.  (in my mind less pieces are better)  And I used some elbow grease when putting it together so I would avoid the creaking of the bed deal.  But it is solid.  We have a carpet floor and this thing doesn't creak or shift at all.  And I do the love the storage space too as we have moved to a smaller living space and can use all the storage we can get.  Some of the plastic feet were missing on two of the legs, but I sent an email to customer support and hopefully they are sending that out soon.  I'll update the post in after a couple more months and see if we find anything different and let ya know.

I don't normally write a 5-star review.  I had one of the previous versions of this machine and it lasted me 10 years.  There are distinct improvements on this model.  However, I'll first note the nits:

Nits:
- the foaming wand on the left side was better on the right.  Now it's in the way of operating the grind basket.
- I liked the previous design that had multiple switches so that it was easier to have the steamer warming up and I could also make espresso without flipping a giant dial from one extreme to the other.
- The grate for the drip-tray is kind of useless for me.  I use a 4oz measuring "glass" and it doesn't fit if I use the stainless grate.  I have permanently stored it away.

Improvements:
- The drip tray is great.  It is easy to clean.  It is easy to remove.  The older model I had was not easy in any way in this regards.
- The new water reservoir is brilliant.  The old one I had used 2 hoses that went down into the tank.  Refilling the tank meant either arguing with those two tentacles, placing the entire unit (UNPLUGGED!) in the sink, or using a pitcher/cup to refill.  This is easy to pull out and reinsert.  I have seen comments here about how difficult it is to seat the tank -- I have not at all found that to be a problem in any way and it does not require above-average force.
- There was an exposed screw on the basket handle on the old model I had.  I immediately noticed they put a housing around it on this model.  I got burned on that screw several times, and now I do not foresee that happening.
- IT MAKES THE SAME GREAT ESPRESSO.  I got my other unit shortly after I returned from Italy, and I loved it.  I loved it for 10 years until it stopped foaming well, and the pressure through the grinds was obviously sub-optimal.  This works great, and I hope to get 10 years out of this one!

Did a lot of research and contemplated a cheaper model but im so glad I went with this. You get what you pay for and this is high quality.

Thus far I am glad that I spent the little extra to get the model with multiple speeds.  Even on low it provides a good amount of air and is very quiet.  At medium and high the amount of air is increased and so is the noise, but not to any unacceptable level.  Installation turned out to be much easier than I thought, but if you are not familiar with doing your own electrical wiring, definitely hire an electrician to assist with that part, and if you're not comfortable with making sure there is adequate space between the studs and up the wall, definitely hire someone with adequate experience.  The air vent does stick our 2 1/2 inches from the wall and is pyramid shaped, which isn't a problem in my application, but could be for some, so pay attention to that.  For what it is worth, I am using a 3-way remote switch instead of a switch on the wall, and that is working well thus far.  Also, I have two of these and the diffuser in the first was bent a bit an the seller promptly refunded the full purchase price after UPS picked it up and I was able to then use my refund to purchase another.

Not a bad unit. The 30'' was bigger than I was thinking but it worked out just fine. I really like the built in grill.

I had an earlier model which worked fine, but it was pretty loud and shredded less paper at a time. This machine is more powerful and a bit quieter. I shred all of my junk mail, about every other week. This model has managed to save me time, by shredding more paper in each go. It also shreds credit cards pretty handily without sounding like a struggle. I probably would have kept my older model if the little plastic paper detector hadn't broken, but I am very pleases with my new machine.

I was hesitant to buy this much less expensive model after my official Apple cover's seams came apart (probably due to poor manufacturing design).  But, I've used this model for over a month and really like it.  It prefer the fit to the iPad and it seems solid.

Really well built construction. I was hesitant whether this would be inferior to the 250 model but it is really exceptional. The legs are solid and sturdy, even though they offer the collapsable option. It folds easily. Some reviews said that it is difficult to fold but I didn't find that at all. Just lay it flat, and a slight lifting up (after the safety clips are released) makes it fold. The 39 inch circumference seems to be the standard, however for me i found that I bounced a little more to the outer bands. Maybe the addition skirt (over the bands) is a good idea for some, or just to try a wider 41 inch model. You can get used to the size though, and for the portability it's really a plus!! I really am happy I got this model. And about the springyness, it rebounds very well and quietly. I can see this will last as it just good quality.

Had an older model that lasted for 20 years.. Looking forward for this new model to do as well

The value of 39" versus the 42" made this size the right choice for me for my bedroom.  I had a 2007 37" Phillips that died (stupid TCOM board) and I needed a replacement HDTV.  Like any HDTV, you need to adjust the colors to get the best picture.  I'm not expecting perfect colors at this price.  I also needed a component input (so I could feed my cable box to this TV while using HDMI To my living room TV).  This had the digital fiber audio out for my receiver.  It had couple HDMI inputs.  It has an auto shutoff (very important in bedroom IMO).  I use this to watch netflix and amazon prime shows (I use a playstation3 so I didn't want to pay extra for those to be built into TV, prefer).

So, for me, this was the perfect choice, the prime shipping, the $30 sale price, the specs, helped make the decision.  The only thing I miss was having a swivel base, but other than that, I really like this HDTV a lot.

As fast as technology is changing, and with Ultra High Def coming, I didn't want to spend $600-$800 for high end HDTV.

I finally decided to upgrade to the next gen of Sony's reader after I wore the first one out in about 2-3 years of CONSTANT use. (By constant I mean that I was using it every day for about 4-6 hours of reading. I like to read.) The first unit served me well, so I decided to stay with Sony & get the 505.

I have to admit that there are things I adore about this new model, but there are some features of the previous model that I like more. First off, I'll talk about the things I liked about this. I loved that this model is MUCH faster than the previous model & the pages come up cleaner. The page turns go faster, which is better for someone like me that speedreads most of the time. Having to wait for books to load up or for pages to show up can get annoying after a while. I also like that there's more memory on this version than on the previous one. I don't mind putting stuff on a memory card, but sometimes it's just nice to not have to worry about tracking said memory card down. The best thing I like about this model? I can erase books once I'm done with them without having to hook the unit up to a computer. Sometimes I read books that I want to keep around forever, but a lot of times I'll read books I just can't wait to get off of the reader.

Now here's what I sort of didn't like about this unit, which is mostly superficial. I didn't like how the model hooks into the protective jacket on it's "spine" rather than how the previous model connected to the jacket through the back of the model. I didn't like having to press on the screen to lock the previous model into it's jacket, but it was far easier to position the jacket for comfort style. The new model's jacket design makes it so you have to let the book lay open (like a hardback novel would lay open). The other thing I didn't like about this is that there's no cover for the memory card slots like there was for the previous version. The unit comes with a few fake cards you can leave in the slots, but one good bump or nudge against those cards will cause it to come loose. I don't think it will hurt anything, but I dislike the idea that I will probably have to search around for loose memory cards in my purse every once in a while.

Then there's the ambivalent part of the unit. The features on this model are better & new users will be able to go about it with more ease, but one or two things were different from the last model & took a while to get used to. This was namely the change of the number button locations & that the number buttons no longer went to a portion of the book but allows the user to skip to a specific page number. These are good features, but just took a while to get used to.

Overall, I really am enjoying this product. The last model was incredibly durable, so I'm hoping that this one will last just as long & put up with as much wear & tear as the last model. (So far, so good.) It isn't a wireless unit like the Kindles are, but they do seem to be incredibly reliable & user friendly for the most part.

Bought the Shark because of the good reviews. I took it back since it was missing parts and the brush roller wasn't working.
I am so glad that I got this instead. It has a much more sturdy design and has great suction. The wand seems to be better since you can reach it in more places and the hose doesn't bother me for stairs. It has good reach and you will have no issues if simply place the vacuum at the bottom.

I have read up on shocking issues, tipping issues, crappy customer service, and cheap parts for the Shark. The clips and brush roller come to mind.

Two things the DC33 needs. Slimmer profile for the base so it can fit under furniture and retractable cord.

I was in the market for a new DVD player and really had no interest in a high-def format player.  I settled on the Sony upscaling DVD player as an alternative and am quite happy with the results.  I think there is significant improvement in the picture vs. a regular DVD player, and the price was good.  Overall a great value.  The only downside was having to use my dedicated HDMI port on my (older) 42 inch plasma Panasonic, though I was able to use the component inputs for signal from mt=y cable box without appreciable loss of picture quality.  I think this is a great value if you use an available HDMI input, otherwise you won;t see the benefit.

I already had the 8 inch and love it, so I decided to get the 10 inch model.  Just like the 8 inch I own, It is super slick and every food I have tried slides right off.  Only a tiny bit of oil is needed and that is all.  It goes into a 500 degree oven without a problem and cleans up in a snap.  I still like cast iron for some type of cooking, but I used this one for everyrthing else.  When my dutch oven goes south, I'll pick up one of those.

I found this stainless steel model better and easier to take care than the aluminum model that I had previously.  I recommend spending a little more in this sturdier and prettier model.

Not sloppy like the previous model. The rock plate helps immensely.
