POOR redesign of previously decent product
594564
Previous reviews are correct, in that these coffee makers only last a couple years.  We have gone through two before this one and like this kind of dispensing as opposed to a glass carafe.  Hence, the reason we bought a third unit.  This version has been redesigned.  They raised the height of the dispensing area to accommodate tall travel mugs.  Sounds like an improvement (just tip the mug on the old version and it filled just fine), but the "press in" mechanism is now so high that you can't see in your cup as it's filling.  It also raised the height of the whole unit and it JUST fits on the counter under the kitchen cabinets.  If you've shoved the unit back under the overhead cabinets, you MUST bring it back out in order to lift the lid to put the cleaned "bucket" back in.  The redesigned pot is UNcantilevered so it's not easy to carry to the sink or wash.  As for filling reservoir with water, if any hits the heating element placed in the center, you have water all over your kitchen countertop.  The old version you could fill from the top and without taking the "bucket" out.  This one you have to remove the bucket.  The stainless steel front shows water marks and fingerprints.  It must be wiped dry after every use.  Hubby and I dislike this version.  We won't buy a fourth edition.  Do not recommend.

I bought one of these two or three years ago (same item listing on Amazon) and the one I just received (August '16) was not at all the same...conceptually very similar, but design and execution have changed substantially.

The materials are notably worse quality, the shape has changed (more squarish, awkward fit for rectangular license and ID cards), and they've removed one of the credit card slots.  Overall it feels flimsy and cheap.

I would not purchase this again and will be looking for an alternative solution.

difficulty removing the original and replacing it.  Bad design needs to be addressed

This iTrip is very poorly designed and is actually WORSE than the previous version, though sound quality seems about the same. It is thinner than the previous version and, combined with the spacer to allow for cases (which wasn't necessary using my Griffin case, old iTrip fit just fine even with case), it seems wiggly and as though a sharp bang or drop from the wrong angle would snap the iTrip in half, leaving half inside the iPod and half elsewhere. The previous version is both thicker and easier to use. The up/down buttons to change between stations need to be pressed QUITE hard to function, and are difficult to get to cooperate. Additionally, the LED that lights up the LCD does so unevenly and seems cheaper.

I have the original Tarmac 25 and wanted a bit more space for a longer trip, so I ordered the 28 inch version. Upon comparison, I realized the 28 I received was not the same design as the 25. I called Eagle Creek and was informed that the Tarmac series had been redesigned in January, 2011 and the features I had grown to love had been removed. Comparing the new design to a Hovercraft that my wife has I found they had a lot in common. If I wanted the cavernous interior of the Hovercraft, that's what I would have ordered. I really liked the multiple little compartments of the original design and the shoebox (that had been removed in the new design). I returned the Tarmac 28 and fortunately found the last remaining old design on line and bought it from another retailer.

I too, for many years had the old unit, white, that swiveled. Calcium and lime build up finally led me to replace it with a new chrome 3700b from big wholesaler.  Sorry i tossed th old unit.  This new unit has more movable parts, and a quick connect feature with different adapters.  Well, many of those are defective as consumer complaint boards and even youtube videos are documenting these leaky cracky inferior designed products in large numbers. Mine leaked out of the box, and progressively deveoped into a spray.  Teflon tape on threads solves nothing. Seems even moderate pressure, half way open, this unit cant handle.  Old unit also had much better flow rate.  This thing swivels horizontally unlike the last that twisited vertiacally, and this unit has a valve instead, and a quick connect.  Yea, cool design.  Meaning your chances of getting a cool spray are pretty darn good.  Guess they are sending replacement adapters out with metal threads.  Well, mine came with a metal thread adapter, so now what????  Even if the replacement works, every time you have to change a filter will be a gamble to disturb the new adapter. Yall might want to avoid this product until it is redesigned and better built. If I had read reviews first, i would have never got rid of the old unit.

I like this product, and it works well and has been a workhorse for me, but the vendor has recently changed the design of the product and I felt I needed to comment on it.

The thumb lever is now black, not yellow, is much more difficult to operate, and the pen itself is about 1" shorter in length and slightly thinner in diameter.

You can see the new version here:

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/LensPen-NLP-1/dp/B007G5NNOW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">LensPen NLP-1</a>

The Nikon packaging now says BOTH "NLP-1" and "7072" - the older product said simply "#7072" - and the UPC is EXACTLY THE SAME between the old and new models, so there's absolutely no way Amazon would know the product had changed or could look around in their warehouse for a supply of the old, IMHO better version.

In short, if you're looking for the older, larger version, you can't get it, at least not from Amazon and would likely only find it for a much higher price from a B&M camera store with old stock still on the shelves.

If you're fine with the shorter, thinner version you might has well purchase the version above without the Nikon logo and save the $1 or so.

To reiterate, this is NOT Amazon's fault; the vendor switched the product to one that is cheaper to manufacture.

Over the past ~1.5 years I've purchased 7 of these Karter Scientific 208U2 test tube racks from the same seller.  The first 6 were exactly as illustrated in the listing photo.  The one I just received turns out to be a new version of this rack.  Unfortunately, this new version is smaller and shorter overall, and 17% lighter in weight.  The rack's shelves are thinner, shorter, and narrower with their end cross-bracing removed and the spacing between the holes decreased.  Structural integrity has been sacrificed; the rack is now incredibly flimsy and to add insult to injury I paid $0.27 more for this degraded version.

I had a previous version of this feeder and loved it. I replaced it because it had rusted a bit. I have had the 'new improved' version for a few months now and have just now tossed it out. And while this new model looks exactly like the old one, someone decided to change the base and make it into a 3 part assembly so that now it leaks while you are trying to refill it. They made it more complicated instead of just leaving it alone. Btw in trying to clean it, the nectar at the bottom turned gelatinous and, I could NOT unscrew the base at all.

I absolutely LOVED the previous model 22708, and used it daily for almost four years. I was going to purchase the same model again on Amazon, but noticed there was a link to the newer model. The newer model was only two cents more, so of course I purchased it instead.

Huge mistake! Theyve inexplicably removed the hooks on the door that slid the wire rack out automatically when you open it. This means you now have to reach into the hot toaster oven and try to get a grip on the pan or food with a cumbersome oven mitt or potholder. The newer model is smaller inside, so I cant fit things in it that I always had with the older model. It doesnt have a removeable crumb tray. Because of the smaller size, the trays/pans I saved from my last one won't fit inside the newer one.

Even worse, the brand new toaster oven cooks food terribly unevenly. I attempted to make toast inside the oven, because it was so uneven when I used the toasting slot on top the first time. The front of the toast came out untoasted on top, and brown on the bottom. The back was burned black!!!

Extremely disappointed with this new model. If I hadnt already disposed of the packaging, I would have returned it and ordered the older model instead.

They reduced the cost by removing some features I preferred - there are now only two slots where before they had 4.  And the materials are now more nylon and less leather-like materials.  Also, the 'bookmarker' cord has been removed - I used this all the time to keep the current date bookmarked.

This is my third Sony MP3 walkman. I love them, they are simple and sound quality is top notch.

Unfortunately, the design seems to be devolving with this new model. I owned the model from 2 years ago (NWZ-S745) and it was smaller and more stylish than this one. The case was very thin, made of metal and had nice sharp edges. This new design has reverted back to being made entirely of plastic and has increased in size. It feels cheap.

The plastic that protects the screen (it used ot be glass) is very easy to scratch. After only a week of sliding in and out of pockets, my player already has permanent marks.

I have owned several of these frothers over the years. The first 2 were incredible, easily 5-star products. The company cut corners by changing the design of the plunger. Initially there were 2 screens in the plunger. It quickly made very thick lush foamy milk. Later the design was changed to a single screen. It still does a good job of foaming but not as good as before. I have found the electric frothers don't work as well either. I am very careful with the carafe, since it is breakable glass. I recommend that the carafe NOT go into the dishwasher. The black markings fade quickly with repeated washings. It is so easy to wash by hand, why bother?

This used to be a decent product for the money. When they changed how the headset plugs into the bottom of the unit they ruined it.

No matter how you have it positioned you WILL rub the bottom of the usb cable and pull and pull on it until you ruin the cable or the port. They do not and will not fix this issue and Torc (their main vendor) will not do anything about it other than offer to sell me an updated unit at full price.

As a heads up to anyone who previously bought these hangers and was expecting the same design -- it's changed, unfortunately. They got rid of the  black mid-piece that held up the hook, and replaced it with a large, beige mid-piece that I think is actually designed to NOT support the hook. Here are the differences in the mid-pieces:

- As the hanger is now made, if you don't support the hook it'll swivel and fall downwards (picture attached). I think it's a design flaw. I assume they changed it to make shipping easier, but it's really frustrating to deal with; it means you always have to handle each hanger with two hands instead of one.

- The new mid-piece is large and clunky; it consists of a bulbous piece of plastic that hides whatever the mechanism is that allows the hook to (conveniently for the shipper, but inconveniently for those of us who have to use the hangers) swivel downwards when not being supported. It's aesthetically unpleasing.

- The large bulbous mid-piece means each hanger takes up more space, and you can't fit as many hangers close together, because the bulbs run into each other.

- It's **ugly**. Not only did they get rid of the sleek look, but they replaced it with a terrible beige contraption that reminds me of cheap department stores. The beige also stands out starkly because the rest of the hanger is black and silver.

- The hangers now seem cheaply made. In a couple of mine, there's a noticeable gap where the two halves of the plastic bulb are supposed to be joined together.

I'm attaching pictures of the hanger as it is now (beige mid-piece) and the hanger as it used to be (black mid-piece). I had bought a bunch back when they were sleek, minimalist, all black, and sturdy. Recently I'd gone back through my Orders page to place another order, thinking I'd get the same thing (since it was the same listing). But then the hangers arrived, and I realized they'd changed the design. These used to be my favorite hangers, and I'm disappointed they've replaced the original sleek and functional design with this clunky and inconvenient department-store-beige configuration.

I ordered one of these a few years ago (four?).  It is (was) a sturdy, right-sized purse for a woman who wanders to a lot of places and doesn't want to hold on to a pocketbook.

This week I decided to get my aunt one as a birthday gift and another for me in a different color.  I got a shock when I opened the box.

The first thing I noticed when I hoisted it to my shoulder was that the strap twisted in the buckle.  This never happens with my old one.  Closer examination revealed that the shoulder strap on the new one is MUCH thinner than the one on the old, and that the new buckle is both less substantial and not sized correctly to prevent strap twists.

Everything about the purse is cheaper.  The magnet clasp is not as powerful, the linings are no longer ripstop but some stretchy thin stuff, even the width of the purse is slightly smaller. The custom hardware (zipper pulls and buckle, both snazzy and substantial, have been replaced by hardware less substantial and less snazzy.

All in all, they have managed to cheapen their product in many small ways to the point where I no longer consider it a desirable brand, and I sincerely regret sending it as a gift to my aunt.  I am sure that the new purse will serve me for a time, but theyve made their unique item into a generic thing-a-ma-bob, next stop Target or Wall mart, I suppose.

This purse WAS the most perfectly designed purse one could buy.  After 8 years, mine is starting to look a bit tatty, and I had my tailor resew the shoulder strap twice, so I tried to purchase a new one.  Baggallini has have changed the design to the worse: the top zipper does not open as fully, it swoops down in the center of the zipper, so does not hold as much, and a host of other design issues.  Take a look at the picture, which is of the ORIGINAL design.  If you order it, they will send the New, unimproved version.
