Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

Shame on me... I bought a second pair of these moccasins. The first pair started getting a hole in the toe within three months of when I received them. I had barely used them and had mostly worn them indoors. But they were so comfortable and cute that I thought maybe I had simply gotten a bad pair. I decided to try again. I ordered another color (the orange). Again, I wore them indoors, this time exclusively, for about a month. When the whether started to warm up I wore them to class. I walked around campus in them a little bit and discovered as I was heading home that the seam where the shoe upper connects to the sides had split. My feet are narrow, so the shoes were not being stretched width wise. As I looked closer, I also saw that in the other shoe the toe area was starting to get a hole. The suede is simply too thin for shoes. I'm very disappointed as the shoes are quite comfortable. I contacted Amazon and they gave me a refund, for which I am very grateful.

Sometimes you buy a product that's an unnecessary indulgence. Sometimes that product shows you the error of your ways, and you can't go back to the life you knew before you had it. And you buy a second one...
This is that stupid product.

I was COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF by Amazon. This product is a JOKE and it makes me think Amazon is a complete waste of time. I might just part ways with my Prime membership over this one, as a matter of principle. If Amazon can prove it is not intentionally trying to trick people, it has some explaining to do.

I ordered this product because I needed a set of individual 17 gauge strings. Didn't need a full set, just a pack of 17's, which is kind of unusual I realize, but they make them. So that's what I thought I was getting. I never DREAMED I was paying $6.74 for a SINGLE .017 STRING! That is simply OUTRAGEOUS. But that's what happened.

Here is how I was tricked by Amazon:

In the same order, I first purchased a pack of individual 13's for my high E. D'Addario PL013's in a five-pack for a total of $5.30. That's right, 5.30 for FIVE strings of the same guage (013mm), from D'Addoario. Then I looked for a package of 17's to function as my B string. The first result was this product. I didn't pay close enough attention. Surprise. Lesson learned: while the 5 pack of PL013 D'addario strings cost 5.30, the PL017's that came up as the first search result were NOT a pack of 5, but a SINGLE STRING! For over six dollars. The two strings are not appreciably different, mind you, so the price difference is very misleading. The 17 is not wound, which might justify charging a little more (but not that much more). They are both single pieces of wire made from the same material and produced by the same manufacturer. The only difference between them is four one-hundredths of a millimeter.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I needed to string my guitar too badly to wait for the time it would take to return this $6.74 piece of wire. I had to eat it. One string for the price of a whole pack. Amazon ripped me off. You'd be pretty stupid to buy this if you realized what you were doing.

I started with two new CR2032 batteries. I checked the batteries with a multi-meter.

The instructions are not just confusing, but down right misleading. They seem to have been written by a Chinese person who studied English as a Second Language, and English was not her most brilliant subject, but a distant third after Social Studies and Remedial Math.

The first part of Step 2 is:  Press any button on the locator to program the item number.

Step 3 is:  Program your second locator, using Steps 1 and 2. Be sure to use a different item number.

What? So these two gadgets are supposed to talk to each other by selecting two random numbers? Its not having to put up with techno-nonsense like this that gives Amish people a reason to feel content with their lives.

Imagine Nigel Studworthy standing outside his sleek, royal blue Aston Martin while Penelope Lovelace, his sweetheart and heiress to Britains largest publishing empire, shivers in the darkening evening, as the wind picks up and the temperature drops. His keys are ... somewhere amongst all the camping gear in their tent, the very tent they just spent the last hour pitching, or his keys might be somewhere in the Aston Martin.

With exasperation in his voice, Nigel fretted, I don't understand how this key finder could fail me! I bought it at Radio Shack!

Penelope looked wistfully into the trees and said, If only wed bought some piece of kit that was made in China. The Chinese seem to be making half of everything these days.

To quote Eminem, Snap back to reality. I tried all manner of re-inserting batteries to restart the sender and receiver, plus various combinations of buttons. The red light on each piece light up, they each made beeping sounds, but they never talked to each other. This thing is useless.

I recycle everything that can be recycled. After I post this review, Im removing the batteries and putting the sender and receiver into my box of electronics recycling ... right next to my 8 Track Tape Player and my Captain and Tenille tapes.

Im kidding about the last part, but as far as 1970s music goes, Queen totally rocks!

Looking at the other key finders on offer, the one by Emerson is also a piece of junk. For now, I tied two feet of blue rope to my keys, which has helped me locate them on several occasions. And every night, I make the effort to put my keys, telephone, wallet and glasses in the same place. Have a place for everything and make decluttering a regular habit.

Of course, its best to be mindful of where you put things in the first place, but if you do misplace your keys, take a hint from Michael Jordan and keep looking!

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games, 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Originally, the ad didn't specify that it was a "Ten pack". In fact, at least, one customer has already stated they received only ONE with their order... not TEN. There are several other things to be suspicious of, as well. For example, the seller hasn't commented on any of the "one star" reviews, hasn't answered the question(s) from potential buyers, and the ad is posted in "Outdoor, Lawn & Garden". Come on... seriously? No one in their right mind would be this careless. If this was my product, and every single one of my reviews were only "one star", I'd be doing everything I could do defend it. This thing screams spam, or scam... or both.

Be a smart buyer, and shop elsewhere.

Ordered from this company twice. Both times the power supply was different from the description and did not work with my equipment. I feel like a fool for trusting omnihil a second time.

I will write more when I become less pissed off that someone just cheated me into buying his worthless amateurish attempt!

I bought two of these for a great price, about a year ago.  When one unit stopped working, and I noticed that it rattled inside, I took it apart and found: (a) the "solar" panel is just cheap glass.  (b) the parts were just wired together and glued onto the glass.  The battery had separated from the glue, and a wire was broken between battery and LED, probably due to the movement after separation.

The price was great, but if the advertising was not fraudulent, for that price I would've chosen something clearly non-solar and smaller...the packaging here is a big waste of space for "Solar" that isn't really Solar-powered at all.  And it's a big product LIE to continue advertising this as Solar when it is not, in any way.  For a great description of this, see http://sebastianschaper.net/index.php/archives/118, a slightly technical article that explains the situation.  However, in my case there wasn't even a circuit board at all.  So it seems that there is an entire array of "look-alike" products from China that are fraudulently sold.  If you're really looking for solar-powered I don't think you can trust ANY of them that look like this product.

See my photo, showing the remaining working one on top, and the broken disassembled unit on the bottom.  The red wire (positive) is the broken wire...touching it to the LED and pressing the cheap switch, turns on the light.

Let me get this right.  If you bought "Tried and True" in 2010, you can turn around and buy "Steadfast", and you're getting the same CD.  Who's bright idea was this, and how did the record company, and YOU Amazon, get away with doing this?  Loved "Tried and True"...but almost bought the same thing twice.

Unfortunately, I just got duped by a different seller, same scam...pictured huge 100 stack canister of CD's, recieved 1 in jewel case....I too paid almost $10 for 1 cd. Rotten business practices that inevitably will come back upon them....shameful! Buyer beware.

Amazon...please do something...if they print false picture ads, cut them off from your site...you too are being viewed as carrying fault by not protecting us from false and deceptive business practices!

Bait and switch scam.  DO NOT BUY.

On October 2, 2017 these guys switched off features that were included since I had purchased this device (and even features touted on the marketing material) and put those same features behind a paywall. Two major features that we lost include the ability to record and alert me of an intruder during the night while Im sleeping and no longer full-length clips during times of movement - now 10 second highlight that misses the chance to catch an intruder.

As soon as theres a class action, Ill be there.

I really should have paid closer attention to the reviews before placing my order; but I'm a sucker for a great deal. But again, I've learned, you get what you pay for; why else would something be so deeply discounted, other than to get rid of it? I had plenty of time to read reviews after I placed my order, and decided to perform my own tests on the device, before taking it on a trip and being blindsided by a poorly performing product.

When I received the device, it was fully charged, I let my phone run down to about 20% and set up the charger overnight; it took a full charge and everything was as expected on the first, and second test a few days later. The third test was done about two weeks later, the device was fully charged and the phone was at 45%, so this should have been a no brainer for an overnight recharge. The next morning I checked everything, the device was "empty" and the phone was only charged to 90%; and that was enough of a failure to me to return the product. I don't want to get caught on my travels with a battery backup/charger that suddenly decides to only do half the job.

I feel bad that I was duped by one of these fake books that isn't actually a book, but rather a poorly thrown together pamphlet where the "author" repeats themselves ad nauseum in order to extend the length.

There's an entire market of people like this that throw together a collection of obvious ideas and call it a book.

THIS IS A PAMPHLET!!!

Sit down, breathe, be grateful.

Lie down, breathe, be grateful.

Eat mindfully, be grateful.

That's literally ALL this is.

While these are definitely good ideas for everyone to practice, this "book" does NOTHING to justify it's existence.

There is nothing here that you cannot find by typing "How to Meditate" into Google.

A complete and total passionless marketing ripoff.

Shameful.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. This so-called book ended @ 68% in and this author wants me to buy the next installment to see what happens?! I don't think so! This may have only cost 99 cents but that is 10 minutes of my life I will never get back. Really getting tired of these "wannabe" authors writing these little snippets and charging a dollar here and a dollar there. It starts to add up. This little snippet did nothing to pique my curiosity.

What burns me more than anything else is when I hear of yet another scammer (Bill Harris)  playing on people's "needs" for quick-fix easy solutions to life-long, often centuries-old problems. It's the exact same "pop-a-pill" mentality, but most people aren't so cretinous as to steal from the hungry by selling them 21st-century snake oil. Look, it took you years - decades - to get to where you are, like it or not, for better or worse. Harris would have been a lot smarter to tone down all his claims - "Meditate Like a Monk!" - in order to sound a little more credible, but just go look at his list, and remember that old saying about things looking too good to be true. This isn't just a poor product. It is a pure scam. Go spend the same amount of money on a children's burn unit or an orphanage or an animal shelter and you know what? I'll guarantee that you'll feel a lot better about yourself than you would buying this crap.

I rarely write a negative review on a product I don't like.  But, I felt compelled to on this one.  I bought one of these transfer pumps for those occasions that one has to remove gasoline, oil or other liquid from a tank.  It worked really well - ONCE.  It hasn't worked since.  Like today, when I needed it to work.  Notice on the package that it is advertised as "multi-use."  It wasn't multi-use for me.  As I said, it worked exactly one time.  If you're looking for a transfer pump to use once and throw away, this might work.  If you want to use it more than once, forget it.  Buy something else.

"Buy cheap and buy twice. Buy right, only buy once."
TRUTH. Avoid this PUR pitcher like the plague, my friends.
Spend a bit more up-front... get a higher-quality brand/model that won't cause you endless frustration.

PUR suckers you in with this inexpensive piece of plastic, but then the real expense comes from the replacement filters, which need to be changed with alarming frequency in order to continue functioning properly.
In our two-person apartment, we find that each filter stops working properly (takes over an hour to filter a single glass of water, and with reduced flavor quality) after less than a month. Compare to Brita, where I've seen filters last for 3+ months (not recommended probably, but it illustrates my point well).

In short, F___ PUR. They're scammers. I'll be upgrading my filtration system ASAP because I finally ran out of these stupid replacement filters. Pitcher is going straight into the recycle bin.
