Good material, but the design needs modification to be more effective
599395
The material is very good for the purpose of waterproofing, but the design needs to be modified to become more effective.  The cap can keep my hair dry, my head warm, and it keeps water from getting into my ears too, in the first 2 laps of swimming, but water gets inside after that.  It tends to shit upward gradually when I am swiming.  I think if the "neck" of the cap is made longer might help correct that shifting problem, because it would enlarge fliction/suction area on the skin that would help stablize the cap.  That's my suggestion.

It works for me but would prefer a different material.  Hard to get it undone.

I like this concept, but the cheap plastic will result in your items landing on the floor of your closet if it gets too heavy or something nearby falls and pulls on it. I bought this to hang my brassiers on, and it didn't take long for them to be on the floor. :-(  However, with a little trip to the hardware store, I was able to replace that cheap plastic hook with metal... and suspend the twirly-rack from a hook wherever I wanted it. I also liked this idea for my jewelry, specifically my hook earrings and necklaces. With modification, I can somewhat recommend it.

This is a pretty good product that has room for improvement.

The good: It will in fact encase that ugly tangle of cords you've got running across the floor and make things look much neater. You can cut holes in it along the way for cords to poke through if necessary. You can cut it into smaller pieces or use it whole. You can fold it so the black side or the white side faces out, so you can choose which works better for your color scheme.

The could-be-better: I don't see why this has to be so thick and padded. I guess the thickness could be seen as a plus if you are trying to protect your cords as well as camouflage them, but I think it would be easier to work with if it were a thin, single layer of neoprene. If it were thinner, you could wrap it tighter and make the whole thing look less obtrusive. Also, the velcro holds well enough, but may become looser over time if you need to open it up alot. I think a zipper closure would be more secure, but then you wouldn't be able to cut it down to size if needed so that would be the trade-off.

A note on baby-proofing: I bought this specifically to hide cords that need to run along the wall from my toddler. This isn't the ideal product for that purpose because the velcro is too easy for determined little hands to undo and, due to the thickness of the material, you can't wrap it tightly enough around the cords to prevent little fingers from poking around inside the roll. I don't knock the product for this because it wasn't advertised as a baby-proofing solution, but I thought it might be helpful to note this in case others were thinking to use it for this reason as well.

Excellent quality materials and construction but poor design from an acoustic engineering standpoint.  Fortunately it is an easy fix.  These speaker adapters consists of two parallel plates connected by rectangular riser blocks.  There are gaps between the riser blocks that allow longer frequency sound waves (your bass) from behind the speaker cone to interfere with and cancel out the sound waves formed at the front of the speaker.  My fix was to simply fill in these gaps with a quality construction adhesive.  Overall richer and louder sound after filling the gaps and no more lost bass.

Fits, works, BUT is slightly too flexible so that it flexes and bounces more than desired AND more than competitors' products.

This could have been designed better. First, it doesn't just all collapse down how I'd imagined. It's actually not as quick and easy to pull out and set up as I'd hoped. I keep tripping on the legs as I'm hanging laundry too. The way the lines are attached could be better, they are just tied off at one point, a simple knot. I would have thought it would be something more secure, I imagine the knots falling out sooner than later. The end cap that sits on the ground keeps falling off. Every time I use it, I imagine a way to design a better one. ;) All in all, it's a great solution for our deck. I can hang quite a bit of clothes on it and I can (awkwardly) fold it up to stow it in my house when not in use.

3 stars out of the box.  There were a few poor design choices which I was able to fix with a little bit of modification.  I was able to bring the product up to a 4.

The Pros:

Lightweight and easy to store and move
Place to put the bar for squats
Place to put the bar for bench
Safeties provide a little bit of security when benching alone, mostly they are a nice place to put the bar for rows
Affordable
I've only tried this with 225lbs so far, but after a few modifications it feels reasonably safe

The Cons:

Poor design of the H frame on the bottom of the stand.  The H is shipped as three pieces and is assembled by putting square metal tubes inside of each other and bolting them together.  The problem is that the fit is not snug enough, so the H is wobbly unless you tighten the bolts so much that the outer square tube is VERY crimped.  I gave the inner tube a few wraps of duct tape to make it fit snugger inyo the outer tube.  Because of the modular design of the H I had to work pretty hard to make all 4 feet sit flat on the ground once everything was bolted together.  Eventually I was able to get it to be solid though

Poor design of the top j cup used for squats.  Essentially the forward facing part of the J is only a few inches shorter than the back part of the J.  The problem is that re-racking after a squat set requires a bit of aim and precise control of the bar, otherwise you could miss the rack completely!  The back of the J should be much higher, so that you can walk forward, feel the clink of the bar against both stands, and put it down safely.  I added a foot of metal to each of the J cups so that I could rack my squats more easily.

Squat Height is not easily adjustable.  This doesn't matter much to me since my girlfriend and I are close enough to the same height, but be warned, adjusting the uprights requires the removal of two hand screws and a bolt thingy on each stand.

One of the plastic pieces came broken.

In summary you get what you pay for, but with a little bit of modification this product is at least 4 stars and gets the job done.  Nice portable solution.

I like this cart, but it needs to be redesigned to make it more useful.  I put a plastic bag in the built in bag holder to keep the attached bag clean.  I haven't figured out a use for the upper tray cut-outs because they are too large for holding garden implements, and nothing else I use in the garden fits the round holes.  I suppose the only good reason for having cut-outs in the tray is to make it easier to hose out the tray.  The attached bag has pockets of different sizes, but again, if you put most garden implements in the pockets, the material will get frayed and thus no longer useful. I do put extra gloves a box cutter, and scissors side ways so the pockets will not get damaged.  The lower grill on the front of the cart is useful for carrying bags of compost or mulch, but the upper hanger doesn't seem to have a function, at least one that I have figured out. It would be helpful for the sellers to suggest uses for these parts.  When putting the cart together, although they identify the parts and show parts of the cart, they do not show the finished cart side and frontal view which makes it difficult to figure out if it is put together correctly, or at least aid in putting it together.  I went back to Amazon to view the completed cart in order to get the parts on correctly.  Again, the cart is useful and I am glad to have it, but I still think the product could be so much better and more useful if changes were made, and instructions given as to how they envision the cart to be used.

I love the style, but the cooling power and noise level leave something to be desired.

With the original fan it was too noisy. I have now replaced that fan with a larger (92 mm), and added extra insulation in a few places:

- Underneath, externally
- Inside of door
- In the chimney around the peltzier element (behind the heat sink)
- between electronics and back side of cold area (inside the back cover)

I also opened up larger holes for air intake, and for two outakes on the sides, removing all the plastic grilles. I created a duct so that all the air sucked in reaches the heat sink.

In the end, I got a fun hobby project for a week, modifying this crappy fridge for higher performance and more silence. It now keeps a good 3-7 degrees Celsius at all times. My next project will be put in a solid metal shelf, to increase the thermal mass inside, so that temperature doesn't fluctuate so much with opening the door and putting in new items.

Tip: For simple extra insulation, use sprayable expanding foam, then trim off excess with a knife.

The quality/material is good but the size needs improvement

The base needs a longer leg under the umbrella (to the front). All the legs are even and the slightest wind will topple it. I bought sand bags for the bottom. Not pretty, but effective. Also, the part that holds the "arm" is plastic, and has white marks from the strain of the weight. It probably won't last very long. The umbrella canopy itself is beautiful and hasn't faded. Great material.

Works well, but didn't stand up to wear as well as I expected

you have to add a bit of pressure against the connectors to get the sleeves to work and tighten, why is not not permanently attached?

Nice material but a poor application of the Velcro. That said, the hook portion will stick to the material other than the loop. I do see it wearing out the other material quickly from the hook portion of the Velcro. They need to make the loop portion of the velcro half as wide, but twice as long. It will work much better and cost the same amount of money to make it. But then again, who needs perfection (ME!)

works but you really have to play around with it to get it fit properly

Good materials, nice workmanship, so-so design. Lots of work to install and get set up correctly, plan on an hour or so.
You CAN put the fence on either side of the blade - - but I'm not yet sure why I'd want to.

Takes a lot of fiddling to adjust the fence, but once in position, it does the job.

For the money, a rack/pinion drive would make the fence more user-friendly.
