Disappointed in the product after the hype

The manual was not as plentiful of information and treatment sections were confusing. Disappointed in the product after the hype.

I expected/wanted this product to live up to the moderate 'hype' that I had seen generated towards it (this is only because I had looked at the company's evaluations/commercials for the product as well as several video reviews online.)  Sadly it does not seem to meet my expectations.  The device itself is somewhat bulky and difficult to work with in small areas.  This would not be such a big deal but the whole purpose of the product was to make working in such areas easier. The point was to avoid the tedious task of manually closing the wrench with one hand while holding it in place with the other, all the while in a very confining space.  Black and Decker cleverly eliminated this problem by making the device too bulky to even fit into such a restricted space.  If you have enough room to use this 'automatically adjusting wrench' then you probably have enough room to fit your other hand to the swivel and manually adjust it.

However, it is a neat and sturdy item that helps make a two hand task a one hand task. Just don't expect to use it on those spaces that a regular wrench is tough to fit in.

My Personal Disclaimer: My opinions may be tainted by the manner in which I received this product. I ordered it as a Christmas present with plenty of time to arrive; it never did.  I then contacted Amazon and the supplier in reference to my order and they told me that they had none in stock (some information that should have been supplied to me during the ordering process).  They told me that they would ship one as soon as they received their next shipment.  That time came and went and I received no notice from the supplier. After contacting them again I was told that the shipment they had received was damaged.  I requested a shipping upgrade as I was told the product would be here by Christmas and it was already well into January; I did not even get a reply, much less any sort of compensation or upgrade.  When the product did finally arrive, it was in obviously insufficient packaging (large padded envelope) and the internal product packaging was mangled and falling apart.  I would not order from the Amazon seller 'acehardwareoutlet' again.

I was hoping the product would live up to the hype but in my opinion it fell short. I love the concept of a specialty cocktail base that was non-alcoholic and was really hoping this would be a good substitute for my non-drinking friends. While it smells and tastes great by itself, it gets easily drowned out by other ingredients. Were this a $15 bottle I would be pleased, but for the $50+ price tag I was pretty disappointed. I use a lot of high end bitters to make less-alcoholic drinks and they are way more cost effective.

I can't help but wonder after glancing at the other stellar reviews: "Did I get a bad one?" I was very disappointed in this product. The packaging and the product are no where near what was expected for this high price tag iron, and its performance was poor on my hair.

The iron does heat up in about 2 minutes, but for my curly, thick locks - taking small sections - it took multiple passes with the iron to get the job done. I have used many professional quality irons; most less expensive than this one, that successfully did complete 'one pass' straightening, but this one did not.

NOTE:  One pass indicates constant heat is maintained throughout the iron while in use.

The T3's build quality isn't as expected either. The overall feel is one of lightweight plastic - cheap feeling - and again, very disappointing.

The good things I can say about this product: the swivel cord is of a good length and my hair moves smoothly across the heated plates. The one push on/off with blue LEDs to indicate when the iron is heated up are simple to view and use.

For the high asking price of this iron I was expecting the sort of performance my stylist's iron produces in the salon. I would have been happy if it had been on par with my other irons: HSI Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic Flat Iron and the Remington S9110S T|Studio Thermaluxe Slim Hair Straightener which both tend to run in the thirty to forty dollar range and work 100% better than this T3.

Maybe I got a bad one?  It makes me sad that this iron didn't live up to its hype, but I cannot recommend this item to others.

I have no idea what's the hype about this product. It does not do a better jobs than much cheaper dry shampoos. And the biggest problem is that you literally get to use it only once or twice!!! If you use it and then save for later, the bottle becomes miraculously empty within a few days

I have healthy thick, slightly coarse hair that is not color treated or straightened. I had such hopes for this product after reading the reviews and sales blurb. Unfortunately I was not at all pleased with the results after using it a couple of times.

The GOOD is it doesn't weigh hair down and it's not greasy. The BAD is I didn't find it "nourishing" at all. I'd been using the Phyto 7 Day Cream, but it was just okay. I then read that the 9 was made especially for my hair type, so I figured it was a sure winner. As far as performance, I noticed no difference between the two as far as moisturizing my hair. The UGLY is the price. When I bought the Phyto 7, it was 5.1 oz for $28. When I ordered the Phyto 9 I totally missed that it was only 1.7 oz for the same exact price! The size is clearly listed so my mistake was in looking at the picture of the tube and assuming it was the same size as my Phyto 7. There are a lot of 5 star reviews, so obviously I'm in the minority...but for me the pricing is ridiculous, especially when the product just didn't perform as advertised. Used as directed my hair felt dry and fly away.

This is a product that I was super excited for and when I got it I saw all the complaints I figured everyone was being overdramatic. Honestly thought I see what a lot of others were saying. The fact that Char-Broil uses plastic hooks is really kind of disappointing. There is metal parts to the product to hold it into place, but they loosen with weight on them and I consistently have to re-tighten it in order to keep it from falling off my grill. I wish Char-Broil would remake the product with metal hooks, metal screws, and make it a great product and even charge a little more so that they can afford to make a good product.

Love the concept but disappointed with the product. Firstly we didn't have any luck sprouting the seeds following the online instructions (there were none with the product. We had to look up online). The 'magic rocks' were obviously too magic for us. We ended up using regular soil/compost mix which worked a treat.
Second flaw. The removable top is great to spray short grass but once it grows too long you are not able to take it off to water and remove and get it back on successfully. Also as the grass grows it puts pressure on the top and ends up pushing it up. We recommend not planting many seeds if you don't want to have grass fighting for a slot to grow through.
Also our cat was not interested which was a shame. Thinking of using it for other purposes but overall regret the purchase.

Not quite what I expected.  Other reviewers said the pressure was good, but I found it lacking.  The piece that holds the handheld is not stiff enough and it falls down.  I can't see any way that I can tighten it.  I will probably put back on my old one shower handheld and give this one away or throw it away.  I guess live and learn, but it did not live up to the hype I read.  I normally read most of the reviews and discount the ones that complain about things other than the product itself.  This is made of plastic like most of them are, but the lack of the pressure and the handheld nozzle holder always moving (downwards) is a problem

The whole idea behind this Boroux Spectrum 16.9 oz Borosilicate glass water bottle with a colorful bonded Silikote silicone protective cover is great. Unfortunately, there seem to be several design flaws that have left me feeling disappointed with this product.

The Silikote silicone protective cover seems delicate. Im not very gentle with my water bottles, and the colored silicone started coming off the bottom of the water bottle the first day that I used it.

There is a flat silicone gasket that sits inside the recessed area of the Stainless Steel lid. The flat silicone gasket was stuck to the lip of the water bottle (not in the recessed area of the Stainless Steel lid) when I opened the box. There was a lot of grey/black metal (machining?) dust in the recessed area of the Stainless Steel lid that I was able to wash off because the flat silicone gasket was not where it was supposed to be.

Liquids carried in the bottle get under flat silicone gasket which is extremely difficult to remove for cleaning. The gasket does not seal the bottle completely and the lid leaks if the bottle is not kept upright.

PROS:
 Borosilicate glass water bottle
 Large capacity water bottle (16.9 oz)
 Wide mouth water bottle
 Beautiful color selection

CONS:
 Delicate Silikote silicone protective cover doesnt last long
 Leaky lid

This Borosilicate glass water bottle has the potential to be pretty awesome; its just not there yet.

I received a promotional discount on the purchase price of this item to evaluate it and give my honest unbiased opinion and review for other Amazon shoppers.

Disappointed In the product. Expected it to be more cotton like so I could pull apart and spread. I was going to use it to map a cloud light. In pictures it looked white but when opened its dingy and has brown specs all through it. It states It was good for crafts but it looks as if it's really only good for quilts .... It's looks and feels just like felt. When pulled apart to get cotton ball like effect, it doesn't work.

I purchased this item based on the many outstanding reviews that I read.  I bought it in August.  Two weeks ago it failed to sharpen pencils.  After I looked at it, the bar that goes across the top of the part that pulls out no longer functions and will not hold a pencil.  It was used in my classroom barely 2 months and I am so disappointed that it did not live up to all the hype.  It is not covered by warranty any longer either, which disappoints me even more.  Just be aware that it is not as heavy duty as advertised.

I purchased the headset with the SOCOM:Confrontation game that was packaged together. After reading the great reviews for this PS3 Bluetooth headset, I am disappointed and here are the reasons why I think this product is more hype than hope.

Construction and Design - Good
I want to like the unit but these are the reasons why I think the headset could be better. First of all, the headset feels sturdy and solid in my hand. A big mic mute button allows for quick muting as well as volume up and down buttons. What I am not too pleased about is the bulk and size of this unit. I own a BlueAnt Z9i and while I don't expect the same size as the BlueAnt, I think Sony needs to reduce this headset's size by 25% to 33% from the current design. The size of the unit makes it difficult to use this as an everyday bluetooth headset with cellphones.

Packaging, Manuals, Accessories - Fair
Packaging came with cradle, cable, and a small paper instruction. The cradle allows for charging and if the cable was connected to the headset directly will sync with the PS3 easily. After synchronization, PS3 will display volume, battery life, and whether the mic is muted or not. If set is on cradle, the set is charged by the PS3 and can be used as a speakerphone (which I have not tried yet) because the supplied cable is too short. I sit about 6 feet away from the TV and PS3 but the supplied cable is only about 1 foot (12") long. Also, the manual and instructions could have been clearer that syncing the first time with the cable requires a direct connection to the headset and not through the cradle.

Software, Usage, and Syncing - Good
Other than the PS3, I have synced the headset with the iPhone 3G. The PS3 High Quality (HQ) mode in the PS3 is good but here are the problems with using the headset. In the game Call of Duty 4, I would like to lower/mute the volume button until the screen icon shows that it has been muted. I do this because sometimes other player's headsets may have too much static or they have annoying background music. The problem I have is that after muting the speaker, I continue to hear their voices and music. I have used a Motorola 700 and that unit is able to completely mute voices in the game. Another annoyance is when I mute the mic, the headset beeps every 10 seconds to remind me the mic is muted. The constant beeping gets tiring after a while. This headset does not have noise canceling technology and picks up too much ambient noise.

Overall - Average
Buy this bluetooth headset if you want a dedicated PS3 Bluetooth headset. But, if you are a consumer who wants more functionality from a bluetooth headset than just the PS3, there are many other headsets available now that are smaller, more comfortable, and costs about the same or less. While the Sony headset does offer some compelling features: the HQ mode is neat and syncing natively with the PS3 is great; buyers ultimately need to decide whether the money should be spent on a  bluetooth headset that works primarily with the PS3 or could the money be better served with another headset that offers more functionality?

I bought this item to help care for an incontinent person with dementia. I want to write this review so it will be helpful information for others in a similar situation but not TMI or overly descriptive. So let me just say that it didn't meet our best hopes and expectations. but it was easy to install and works. By 'works' I mean, it sprays water out and moves around and there is a fan that blows. All those things do work. However, my elderly charge dislikes it and complains the entire time it runs. Also, I thought the button marked 'enema' in the picture on this product description would help him to have bowel movements since he doesn't even seem to know what to do and will just sit there for long periods of time and not finish up. But the product I got with the button marked 'vortex' just doesn't do it. Another thing that bugs me is when I was about to purchase, the price was $389, I didn't pull the trigger for a day and by the time I did, it was up to $499! I don't think this product is a value or much different than all the other similar products that are half the price.

After having great expectations for this product, I was left disappointed after assembling the product to exact specifications on the provided directions and found the finished product to be unstable, insecure, easily subject to wind disruption and inefficiently designed. Specifically, the joints do not latch with a clean fit and thus the structure is constantly uneven and unstable.

I was hoping this was an easy alternative to constructing my own model, but feel very let down after reading positive reviews about the company and the product. I am not sure why my experience was so poor, but would be interested to try a larger, more stable model If Tierra has such a design but don't want to lose another $200.

This product did not live up to its hype. It did not give me the volume it claimed and it smells medicinal. Save your money!!!
