THIS ONE'S A WINNER SO FAR.. -UPDATED...rating change
921377
Started my puppy out on the TOTW for puppies bison flavor mixed with Nutro Ultra that his breeder had been feeding him, so I could transition him over.
He didn't like Nutro much, and I was worried he didn't seem to eat well. It took him a bit to like the TOTW bison flavor, but he ate it better than the Nutro food alone.
Encouraged, I decided to try out this TOTW Wetlands fowl flavor...and he LIKES THIS ONE.
 We will do a slow transition and see how he does.
Some changes I have already noticed are: he is energetic, his eyes are bright and his coat is soft and shines. ALL GREAT!
He seems more thirsty with TOTW, and needs to potty often. Not sure if good or bad yet...time will tell, but I'm pleased he is eating better, and no doubt that the ingredients in this food are good for him. ALSO...Being USA made is a big plus in my book.
His stools have softened, almost too much, which surprised me. This may just be the transition to new food, so again time will tell.
So far I am pleased to see him liking this food, and knowing that what he's eating is good for him.
Glad Amazon has it on Prime at a good price (a better price than the pet store food that didn't measure up to this brand in my opinion), since it doesn't sell in stores near me.

UPDATE..AFTER 4 days my puppy threw up, then refused to eat this. He was more than normally thirsty, and would sometimes pant after eating. Stools remained too soft. Back to the drawing board for a food he will like and digest well, I guess. Will change rating to reflect this.

Update- 3 years later, still LOVE IT. would absolutely recommend!

I've had this for about 1 month and I'm really happy with it. I'd been wanting an ABC watch for a while to replace my old Suunto and I really prefer watches that run on light.

This feels good on the wrist and performs well. Like any wrist based temperature watch it works best if you take it off. The compass and barometer work well (I especially like the barometer history as it helps me predict when I'll get a headache). The backlight looks good and everything is quite customizable.

It does lose a star for a couple of reasons. First, there are symbols on this watch that are so small as to be indecipherable. Generally this hasn't been a problem for me but I find the situation annoying. Second, I have never been able to get the "charge level" gauge past medium. I'm not sure if I'm supposed tie it to the outside of a satellite or something but regular earth sunlight does not seem to do it.

Overall, I really like this watch and it has performed well for me. Even with the complaints above, I wouldn't hestitate to rebuy this watch given the comfort, performance, and style (and anyway, you might not care about this stuff like I do!). I'll update this review if I run into any durability problems.

Update - I was under some intense bright light today and managed to see that I had indeed managed to get the charge level up to high. This was not because of the bright light; rather, the bright light allowed me to make out the little symbol that indicated that the charge was high. I'm still really loving this watch.

I hope this helps!

Update - My second 1S arrived and started charging fine.  I've been using it for about two months, now, and overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
A wonderful part that it doesn't say in the scant description - it's definitely at least water resistant.  I've been a bit sloppy washing my hands a time or two, and and least twice I've forgotten I had it on before stumbling into the shower.  No noticeable problems, to date.

Some caveats:
1) The accelerometer is a bit sensitive - I had the Mi Fit app up as I put on my shoes one day, and watched myself rack up an extra 20+ steps from the motions.  I just adjust my daily step goal up 1000 to account for that.
2) There is no way to really tell the thing - "I'm up!"  So if you get up in the morning and take off the 1S to jump in the  shower, it counts those unmoving minutes as sleep.
3) If you want continuous heartbeat monitoring and inactivity alerts, you need to add the "Mi Band Tools" app to the price.  ($3, I believe, so probably won't break the bank.)

----------
My device was dead on arrival.  I was suspicious when there were no indications when charging - Xiaomi's site says there should be "three indicator lights on your Mi Band start flashing in red" when it needs charging, and "When charging, the indicator lights on your Mi Band will flash intermittently. Once fully charged, the 3 indicator lights will stop flashing and turn green."  Just in case, I tried several different USB ports on my PC, even unplugging things.  I also plugged it directly into the USB slot on my Belkin power strip.  I also left it plugged in for over an hour, on the off chance that it was just completely drained, and needed to charge up just to run the indicator lights - but to no avail.

Both before and after "charging" it, I did try to pair the device, to see if I could at least see it there.  I tried the official Xiaomi Mi Band app, Mi Band Tools 3rd party app, and BLE Scanner 3rd party app.  Several times each, with the device physically resting on or against my phone.  My phone's bluetooth picks up the speaker in the living room, but not the Mi Band.

I'm returning the device, and I'll try one more time.  If that one is better, I'll come back and edit this review to show that it was just a lemon.  If the second device is also DOA, I'll put that here, too.

UPDATE 9/12: I managed to track down their support - they advised:

"We are sorry for any confusion. The blue lights are actually the battery indicator, and the green lights are the system indicator. Function wise, they will be the same as described within the user manual, however, the actual indicators were switched. The blue lights will flash when the board needs to be charged."

... so the mystery is solved! Beeping means it needs charging, which unfortunately means the distance between charges is much, much shorter than I originally thought. It sounds obvious but for the first time ever I read the manual and believed the lights were the other way around.

UPDATE 9/8: Well, the day after writing the review, the unit stopped working. It now beeps non-stop with flashing lights and won't work. The support 1-800 # on the website takes you to some cruise survey line and there is no additional support available. The manual is written in broken English and there appears to be no way to work around this. So it was great fun for a few days but the reliability and support takes this from 5 stars to 1.

This is my first hoverboard and apart from the news stories about the batteries exploding on cheap models, I really didn't know much before unboxing my new toy. The setup was an absolute breeze and it arrives charged and ready to fly. If you've never hovered before, it's similar to riding a biking in the 'expertise timeline':

- 0 mins: This seems impossible.
- 2 mins: Stable but 2 mph seems like a lap on the Indy 500.
- 5 mins: No wipeouts for a while, let's try corners.
- 15 mins: I could live on this thing.

The unit is extremely heavy for its size which makes it very stable on mildly uneven surfaces (carpet edges, road imperfections, etc). The LED lights and Bluetooth speakers seems somewhat gimmicky but the core performance is remarkable. The stabilization technology is hard to explain but significantly aids the learning curve and comfort level.

Although this is fairly expensive gadget at $500, the build quality is impressive and everything from the quality of the tires to the quietness of the motor shows where your money is going. I never thought I'd need a hoverboard but after a week's usage, now I think I need a drone too.

Odd title for a comment, isn't it?  Here's why - you MUST realize that I am submitting a review while I have not used it THAT much.  So I am commenting on what I have experienced so far. There are great things about it, and a few frustrating characteristics as well.
The screen is well-organized, the colors are not distracting - they really do help you see which direction you will be turning.  The [female] voice is comical and robotic, but understandable, and the touch screen is very sensitive - which is great.  No need to firmly shove your finger down on the screen like some ancient martial-arts "death spear" punch; light taps will do.
Now for the frustrating stuff:
1) Sometimes it thinks I'm in Kansas; don't know why, I live in L.A. CA.  Other times it thinks I am [still] where I was yesterday. And sometimes it thinks I am where I am.  (Wow! Now there's a concept...!) If it thinks I'm where I'm not (???), then it takes a while to finally lock in my accurate position and begin directing me. (Now see point #2 below)
2) Most of the time it takes a loooooooooooooooooooooong time to "acquire satellite" positioning after I have entered my desired destination.  Haven't timed it - but I would not be surprised if it took about 5 minutes to lock in my current position. If I'm completely lost then that equals waiting a loooooooooooooooooooong time before I can start driving.
3) Its ability to direct me accurately is wonderful.  So I can rely on this thing when I am in unfamiliar territory (which IS the point of a GPS system, is it not...?) so that's good.  But it's as stubborn as all get out. It INSISTS on guiding me along a particular route which my not be the fastest, and as I insist on going my own way it utters the word "recalculating", and tries to figure out how to best get me back onto the route IT wants to take.  So efficiency is not it's most reliable attribute.  But - as long as it's accurate...!  And since I got it for less than $200, I'm fine with it! I'm stubborn too!

2nd Update: Jan 30, 2013

So far 2 of the 3 units purchased are working well. I had the 2 checked in my calibration lab and neither tool had a problem. I also recently purchased a 4th to replace the one that failed. I brought the review up to 4 stars because I still think this is a good product. My operators all love this tool and now prefer it over their previous driver. Currently the 3 drivers are only being used by one or two operators so they don't have the same use as the first that failed.

Update: August 27, 2012

Sadly, I had to decrease my rating from 5 stars to 3. It is still a good tool and my operators love it but if they only last 6 months it isn't worth it. I sent the first unit back to my calibration lab for a 6 month overhaul and the results were disappointing. They were not able to get the tool back into calibration. The low end was a little off, around 1 in lb below the setting. The upper limit was worse, around 48 in lbs when set to 40.

I had this particular tool being used 24 hours a day on all my shifts to check for this exact problem. The life span may be a little longer depending on your usage. The highest torque we have is around 36 in lbs.

After 3 months of use with the first article, and my calbration labs approval, I purchased two more that are currently being used in production. They have been in use for 2 months with no problems. Once those have gone through my calibration department for their 6 month overhaul, I will update this review.

(Original Review March 2012)

I purchased this torque driver to test along with others before getting sets for all my operators. So far I have been extremely pleased with the price, performance, and the feedback of my employees. We are using it on multiple torque specs between 10 and 36 in-lbs.

My calibration lab was very happy with the tool; both the low and high only had a 2% variation which is very low when compared with our other drivers. My seasoned operators (who usually do not like change) were very pleased with this design and how easy it is to adjust. I am now putting it through the test and having this one used through all our shifts checking longevity. Afterwards I will send it back through calibration and to double check variation and show there are no problems with adjusting torques. If I run into any problems I will update this review.

Great value- high quality but less than similar models from competitors

Scroll down to the bottom for an update:

I've been looking forward to writing this review because because after recently purchasing the Mountec NGroove and experiencing it's poor quality vs expectations set by so many positive reviews, I was frustrated about the hassle of returning it.

I was hesitant about ordering the Caseology One-Touch CD mount because, it is half the cost of the Mountek NGroove (http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1398876113&sr=1-2&keywords=mountek). However, within minutes of receiving and install it, it was clear that this product beats the Mountek and probably most others (I own several mounts, so I'm qualified to make that statement).

1) Easy to install. It stays on firmly to my CD player slot without me having the fear that it might cause damage.
2) Once on, it says put and does not wobble (as the Mountek did).
3) You can turn it to directly face the driver (unlike the Mountek).
4) Very solidly put together. There are no rough edges or sense of cheapness about this.

The only negative is that, unlike ratchet based cell phone mounts, the Caselogy uses a simple spring which you have pry apart with two hands when you insert it and take it out. That's very low-tech, but I still gave it 5 stars because all the positives far outweigh this one negative.

If you're look for a CD Mount for your cell, and it'll fit the dimensions given in the item decision, you'll save a lot of time by just ordering this one.

UPDATE: Friday, May 8, 2015, 05:51:28 PM

I have an older version of this mount and for some reason Caseology decided to keep the same product page for their updated version, may be not have the problem that the older version. Nevertheless, I have to leave my honest update here anyway.

I use an iPhone 6 Plus. While driving the phone drifts out of position. It's annoying.

Update as of May, 2015. The thing is about shot. Very disappointed with service life. Crashes frequently. DVD player no longer works. Next computer will not be a Toshiba.

Update as of Dec/2012- I am not as happy as I was with this purchase, but still consider it to be a good value in this product area.

Reasons for lowering my initial review:

1. Fan runs almost continuously. This has gotten to be an area of huge annoyance for me. I haven't really tracked this from the beginning, but one day a few months back I was working and noticed the fan never really stopped. Now, of course I notice it all the time. Had I known this was going to happen, I probably wouldnt have bought this computer.

2. Battery life has dropped significantly over time. I would say it's down 40% from when I first started using it.

Bottom-line- if you are really using the computer to work,like I do, you might keep on looking, and the fan noise will drive you nuts eventually.

Do still love the low weight though!

Update as of 04/20/2012-  still extremely pleased with this computer. The Bluetooth was really easy to install and found my cell phone the first time (I have had trouble with other computers). Bluetoothed serveral pix and found the transfer was faster than normal.

I have had this computer for a week now. So far I am really happy. It is very light (I have to carry two LT's)and it fits well in my backpack. The battery life is excellent. I have used it on battery for about 5 hours and it was down to about 1/3 charge when I plugged in.

I also liked the fact I could delete some of the factory installed software-completely. I get sick of all the pop-ups begging you to activate their software. I have had computers where this was impossible (for the average user) and had to live with these popups.

There is not a lot else to say. I am a 'light" computer user (no gaming, or high tech uses) The applications I do run (MS) open quickly so,  plenty of memory (4-GB) and the 640 GB hard drive will store all my picures and videos. As I said, I travel a lot and take pix and videos as mementos.

I recommend this PC to anybody who travels a lot and needs a personal PC to take with them. It is an excellent value for money!

One note- if you get one, also buy a padded sleeve to protect it. Being so thin means it is fairly fragile and evidently (reading other reviews Toshiba is pretty firm on their 'damage' policy- if you break the screen you might as well throw this one away as the screen replacement will cost as much as new computer. just take care of it and you shouldnt have any trouble)

Good luck!

See my 06/01/17 update below. See my most recent update!!

My "2 cents" review and the facts. Nothing makes me more angry than misinformation so here's the truth. First off, I bought this directly from Amazon, so there is no third party to blame or commend. At just under $15 and free shipping, at time of this writing, it's not a bad deal. The actual outermost dimensions not including the handle, of the unit I received are exactly 13.25" x 7", this includes the wheels. Anybody that tells you differently, can't read a tape measure. Second, weighted? should weigh more, I weighed the unit and it comes in at about 2 lbs. 6 oz. and I am being generous, my older one was heavier which kept it down, the heavier the better. The unit is flexible, but not as flexible as I expected, or compared to my previously all (mostly) blue unit from a national pool retail chain. Now, this isn't all bad as I found out. The more rigid body seems to be a benefit to function, as it appears to prevent "vacuum lock" where my old one would "stick" to the bottom of the pool floor in some locations. This allows me to run more negative pressure to the vacuum head, and seems to clean more thoroughly. The wheels appear to be urethane, they are not, they are hard like PVC pipe. They aren't any harder than most cleaners I've seen, but softer would have been nice. The hose attachment is nice as it accommodates both 1.25" and 1.5", there is also "swivel action" at the hose connector, which should help keep the hose untangled.  Not sure if hardware is stainless, time will tell. I kept all the hardware from my old unit should any need replacing. Now, my last comment is regarding the spring???? At first, I thought that it was a good idea since when I clean the vertical walls, the old cleaner would float away from the surface sometimes, and this spring might keep the head parallel to the handle when going up and down. Well, that might or might not be the case, as I didn't get that far in testing as when I first tried it on the floor of the pool, the spring kept popping the head up from the floor. Removing the spring seemed to be much better, at least for cleaning the floor. all in all, and depending on how long it lasts, I think it's a fair price for what you get, I'll keep it.

Update 06/01/2017  RUST! All the metal fasteners of this product have rusted severely and now I have to replace them or face stains in my pool.

Update 06/02/2017  RUST! I went to my local hardware store and purchased all new SS metal fasteners for this pool vac. Upon disassembly, it becomes obvious that the rust I suspected on the fasteners, is in fact coming from the internal weights! The manufacturer installed steel weights within the product. They aren't rust proofed , so they rust. My old one had lead, which fortunately I held onto in case I needed them in the future for such a repair. I get that lead has all that bad stigma and such, but this manufacturer could have encapsulated the weights into plastic, etc., to prevent rust. My advice is this, buy something better if you care about your pool finish and your filter element, as this will mess you up for sure!

(After update the rate should read 3 instead of 5 !)

Just got this radio - and it runs great (wireless internet & FM - haven't been able to establish the media player connection so far, though this is most certainly an issue linked to the router). The sound is amazing, once you toggled around a bit to find the right equaliser settings.

Do keep in mind however that, more likely than not, you will have to upgrade the WFR1 first before being able to establish an internet connection through your router. The upgrading seems to be a bit of an issue, so I thought it might be useful to write a little resume;

So, how do you listen to the WFR1 with a WEP protected router?

First, download the installer from the Sangean website ([...])
The logical way to go from here is upgrading through your computer (USB cable connection).

However, do NOT follow ALL of Sangean's on-line instructions.

Here is how it works;

1. "Download the Installer" -> OK
2. "Remove AC" -> OK
3. "Press and hold the "forward" and "back" buttons on the radio while plugging in the ac cord." -> OK
4. "Release buttons after display shows "USB Upgrade"" -> OK
(5. "Connect USB cable between radio and PC") -> NO! DO NOT CONNECT YET!
6. "Run correct executable file depending on model" -> UNZIP & RUN the installer on your PC
7. "Follow Upgrade Wizard to completion". -> at one point the program will ask you to connect the USB cable & give you information on what to do on the radio menu. ONLY CONNECT THE USB CABLE (you already set up your radio in step 3 & 4). After this, the program runs the upgrade.

Your radio will now accept the WEP code.

(For those who run a DHCP server on their router, don't forget to check/update the DCHP reservations list, otherwise your newly connected dynamic DHCP client might expire after a certain number of hours!)

Hope this will be of some help!

UPDATE : (or; "how to ridiculously loose 2 stars")

Contrary to the WFR-20, this radio (well,  Frontier actually) does NOT give you any information on the artist, songs, etc! This means I have to continue using the (free) software on my computer to get any information - in which case I could as well have linked the computer to my amplifier... Quite unacceptable, and even more so since the WFR-20 (Reciva powered) works fine in this field...

My advice: stick to a Reciva powered radio for the time being !!

UPDATE 2 :

My radio started acting funny, lost interest in it's remote, and finally gave up all together after 20 months of use. Standard warranty is 24 months in Belgium so I was fine, but I'm not all that impressed with the rather short life span of this product.

Excellent Overall- This model has multiple functions that I need and I love them - 1) Weather station, 2) Alarm clock, 3) USB charging, 4) Auto time set, 5) color display, and 6) works as night light.  The communication between remote sensor and base unit was not stable  initially when I placed them on opposite end of the house- the outdoor data were not displayed consistently.  I eventually moved the the remote sensor to within 20 ft of the base unit, and also set the CH (channel) to 1-AUTO.  The auto search did not connect for several hours, but finally connect with the base unit after overnight.  After that, I have full functions.  The color display is bright and I removed two night lights in the room and use this model as night light.

Updated:  The remote sensor phased out after 2 days again. I moved its location away from near TV/DVR electronic components. It has been working well now.  So it was possibly due to electronic signal interference with the wireless signal between the base and the remote sensor.

After looking at several dozen different cordless Vacuums online, this one turned out to be a Great one- So Far.  It really holds a charge and has plenty of power.  Easy to clean features and flexible rotating head for odd or tight places in/under things really do help.
The hidden reduced tip is very useful for that extra reach.  The built in flip up brush tip works good but don't over use it.  Not sure if it can be replaced.  It charges very quickly and the built in charge LED light is as bright as a night light.  The negative thing I could say is that actual vacuum opening is the same size no matter if the extended reducer tip is in or out.  Same suction either way. But not enough to make me give fewer stars.

Updated 6-6-2016:  This unit no longer Holds a charge and after much searching online and by phone, I discovered a new B&D battery pack #90584822 sells for $39-$45 plus shipping.  In other words the battery costs as much as a Brand NEW PVH1810.(Current price $50-$56 online, various retailers.)  Will not be replacing an almost $50 battery (with shipping).  I no longer Recommend this product!

Works great so far.  Will update with a fifth star if it lasts for the long haul.

I own a very awesome 99 Chevy Cavalier. Try not to pass out from jealousy. And as you might imagine, the old rust bucket has a bit of undesirable fragrance to her. Shes a good old girl, but a little stinky inside. Ive tried shampooing, and spraying, and adorning her interior with a variety of aromatic trees, but I cant quite get her smelling good again. When I saw this Ionizer by Eco Breeze, I thought I had to give it a try.

Quite honestly, Im not sure about the results. I thought I had to unplug the ionizer when I shut off the car, but after reading some of the Q&A it looks like I can leave it plugged in. I haven't been driving as much as usual lately, so the ionizer hasn't had a lot of opportunity to run.  But it does seem to clear the air a bit. I plan to leave it plugged in next time I go out and update this review in a week or two with the results.

Overall, I think the Eco Breeze is made well. I like that it has a LED light at the end so you know that it is functioning properly.  The unit feels substantial. Not flimsy or cheap. Based on the fact that I feel like there is an improvement in the air quality right now, I will give it 3 stars. But as I said, I am going to leave it plugged in. Upon further testing, I may adjust the star rating.

Though I did receive this at no cost so I could review the product, this review reflects my unbiased opinions and thoughts. They are entirely my own. I actually test out the product and write the review accordingly. It receives the rating it deserves. I hope this helps others in their purchasing decision. I also rely on Amazon reviews.

**UPDATE** It has been about 2 weeks since my original review, and the Eco Breeze has stayed plugged into my car 24/7 and it HAS made a difference. So I am going to update my rating from a 3 to a 5. For me, at least, this product did work. I realize not everyone can leave it plugged in all the time, but then again, not everyone has the adversity of a 17 year old car either. Again, if anything significant changes, I will update accordingly.

I've been using this for a couple months and it hasn't failed yet.  It's fast -- certainly fast enough that it's not the bottleneck for the class 10 U1 card I use in it.

Update, May 19, 2017: Sorry, but I have to remove a star.  Down to 4 stars now.  Why?  The socket is loose enough that microSD cards occasionally (though still rarely) lose contact while in operation.  I've tried various brands of card (Patriot, Samsung, others), same problem each time. Possibly this is due to the amount of heat generated by such a tiny object... the reader may expand faster than the card.  I've seen this occur in reviews of competing products. Now it has happened enough times to me with this product that I feel compelled to update my otherwise stellar review.  Why not remove more stars?  In fairness, there may not be anything better, at least not until USB3 readers are manufactured with a better process that results in less heat.  This is still an exceptional product for the price.  But if you want a tiny USB3 reader, be aware that you'll sacrifice reliability.  If you've found something better, please reply to this review and tell me.
