Once you start this system, you'll never go back

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm 23 and grew up with cats my entire life. We've had various cat boxes and even a more enormous range of litters. We had the cheap clay stuff, tried the smelly-good clump stuff, pine litter, corn, you name it, it's been attempted. Nothing ever worked 100%; we either got messy and no smell, or a horrid smell and no mess. I thought I just couldn't win and would have to pick one or the other and suffer.

Well, my boyfriend's dad had this at his house and the boy suggested we try it. Now, I'm a pretty eco-friendly person and the idea of having to use "pee pads" and throw them out makes me cringe. It's not great for the environment by any means because it's wasteful. But, I sucked it up and decided we would buy this starter kit and give it a go. This system simplifies everything and makes it easier and more enjoyable (as enjoyable as cleaning poop and pee can get, am I right?) to deal with your cat's waste. I'm completely sold on it and will never use another litter box or litter.

This starter kit will get you through one month (and it actually did for us). My boyfriend and I live in a small-ish one bedroom apartment and have two cats so we only have one litter box. Ideally, I'd like two, but there is just nowhere else to put a second one. Set-up is incredibly easy. The directions state that you pour the entire bag of pellets in at once and, I did do that the first month, but found that it was wasteful. If you pour less in at a time, the pellets don't stick to the feces as much and you get longer use out of each bag. Now, I just pour enough to cover the bottom of the box and find that the bag lasts SO much longer (I'd say between 1.5-2 months instead of just 1). The pee pads are supposed to be changed much more frequently. If you're like me and only have one litter box for two cats, I would suggest rotating the pad after a few days (cats tend to urine in the same area so one part of the pad will become more saturated) and completely change it out, at the latest, a week later.

If you order this starter kit, coupons come with it, which is really nice! Depending on how many cats you have and the number of litter boxes, this can get expensive. That's why I've tried to do certain things, like rotating the pad and using less pellets, to get more use out of each thing. If you do end up committing to this system, you can buy the litter pads and the pellets in bulk here in Amazon, which is a MUCH better deal then just buying a one month supply.

Just another tidbit: When my cats defecate, it does smell afterwards but it goes away after awhile. These pellets are not mean to hide the smell, nor do they clump. The litter pads do hold in the smell of the urine quite well though. If this is in a room you use quite often (ours is in the bathroom) just be sure to have something in there that will help absorb the odors, and it won't be a problem.

Like I said, I'm completely sold. I wish there was another option besides the litter pads, as they are wasteful, but I try and get the most use out of them as I can. I also recycle and take short showers so, let's hope they cancel each other out. Unless someone can come up with a better system that isn't a wasteful, this is what I will continue to use while I have indoor cats.

There are already a bunch of technical reviews here so I'll just sum it up and reinforce those.  This drive is insanely fast.  The overall system performance increase is mind bending.  Everything, and I mean everything is significantly faster.  I recently built a Core i7 6700K system initially with a SATA III SSD I had laying around.  It was fast but I wasn't blown away.  Then I installed this monster.  Totally in awe of what this can do.  Windows loads almost instantly, games are ready in a heartbeat, even web pages load a LOT faster.  I can't recommend this drive enough for absolutely everyone.  No matter what you use your PC for, you will notice and benefit from the performance increase.

This is an excellent systems, I don't think there's a better deal for this price, the receiver decodes every format that I have played trough it, it has plenty inputs and outputs to handle all your players and more than enough settings to adjust everything to the smallest detail, my viewing room is far from ideal for proper movie surround, never the less with all those settings I have managed to obtain an almost perfect sound, even if you're not that tech inclined it comes with it's own mic and auto setting function. Satellites are small yet they can handle a very loud volume without distorting and sub has a nice tight punch (very different than my previous system noisy rumble). Scene buttons is the most welcome function so far, with those you can set everything for a particular input and store it, so now instead of explaining every member of the family how to set the system for each situation they just simply press the desired button and the system turns on ready to be used.

Perhaps the only drawback that I can think about is that it does not convert signals from component or line video to HDMI, those inputs can only be viewed trough the corresponding output

I used this system to repair my Mario Kart Wii disk which was horribly scratched and would not load past the intro screen.  Now it works like a dream!  I use the system a bit differently in that I skip the first cleaning stage (I just use dish soap and a clean cloth).  After I ran step 2 and 3 the disk looked almost brand new!  Don't waste your time and money on the other systems, I've had every single one and they work for a while but then you either run out of fluids, or the unit starts scratching disks instead of fixing them.  This product has a site that you can reorder supplies from, so you can reuse it over and over again.

If you are thinking about getting this... well stop thinking and get it!  This has to be one of the best remote start systems I've ever seen.  I took it to a local shop to have it installed and even the installer said he's never seen one as good as this one.  Me and a friend both decided to get one.  We had ours installed at the same time and we are both impressed.  You can even use the same remote to control both cars which is sick.  The features works flawlessly with so many different options you can set to customize the display on the fob.  This also has to be the first system that I seen that has a "pit stop" feature where you can put the key in the off position take it out but leave the car running.  That is just too awesome.  The programming of the fob is kind of challenging to learn but that is because there are so many features to choose.  I love the way you can change the color of the display on the fob.  The temp reading is pretty friggin accurate also.  I took a real digital thermometer from my desk at work and put it in my car then remote start it.  I have the fob set to automatically show the temp when it is remote started in which you can have it to show runtime, temp or clock.  When I went to my car my fob displayed 79 and the actual thermometer showed 78.  My favorite feature has to be the timed remote start which is set to 3 hours by default.  When leaving work I always put a reminder to set the timed start 3 hours prior incase I ever forget.  Plain and simple... the system is great.  I would recommend to anyone.  I actually felt pretty bad paying only 200 bucks for this.  I feel that it is worth a lot more but let's not give amazon and those 3rd party company ideas, lol.

Update - The fob on it died after a year so you probably want to invest in a second when you buy these.  The one way still works but this system IMO is only with the 2 way remote.  You lose a lot of range with the one way and you lose the ease of monitoring.

Second Update - You might want to go with a different system because the durability of this isn't so excellent. I've gone through 2 whole remotes and these remotes are almost 100 bucks a piece.  Now, I can't get the system to recognize a new remote at all and the one way remote just doesn't cut it. It appears the entire system in not any good so I'm going with a different one and having this uninstalled and a newer a better one. Demoting to 3 stars.

Third Update -  Since my second remote was still under warranty I was able to return it and get another one. I googled the manual and found it and I disconnected the battery cable from my vehicle and reconnected it.  Sunddenly, it started back working like it should and since my second one was under a year old I got another one under warranty and I was able to get it all paired and the system is back all the way functional.  I will move it up to 4 stars because I still like the system but those remotes aren't durable at all.

Amazing system. I came from iSpring and this system is far superior. The water is delicious and the filters last longer than 6 months with a family of 5.

OK, so when an associate of mine told me that this was the most influential book he'd ever read on organisational skills and that the book, and the system, had changed his life, I was reluctant to believe him.  I decided, just to prove him wrong, that I'd grab a copy and see what all the fuss was about.

I read it in 2 sittings, commenced implementing it immediately, and after a week I realised that I too had found the best organisational system that I'd ever come across - and that is saying something!  I've been in the business community for more than 20 years, have worked for international consulting firms, been to more training courses on the use of management systems, owned every PDA, manual time system and document tracking system known to man, bought every Ipad App available, but this one system has without doubt, absolutely and totally changed my life.  And for life it is!

There is a massive adjustment.  I worked out that my supposed "Stress free" paperless office was in fact causing me more stress than I had ever realised.  I can now locate any document that I need literally within seconds and my staff think I'm taking some super drug because my office now looks like something out of an IKEA magazine and what's best, this all came for the very small price of the book along with a few dollars for the accompanying iPhone App.  The Outlook App too is less than $100 but it works best for me on my phone.  Everyone will use it differently, but the use of it is what is SO enjoyable.

It isn't a system, it's a life choice......for everyone from receptionists to super execs and everyone in between, if you follow David's rules, you too will reduce your stress enormously and be the super organised person you always dreamt of!  I just wish I'd invented the system and been using it for the past 20 years!

Without doubt, anyone who reads this book will have implemented bits and pieces of David's super wisdom in their lives - it's the combination and then the reviews of these systems that create the power behind what he writes.

I love it - I never thought I'd love an organisational system, but I do and if I met him, I'd tell David I love him too!

Don't miss up the opportunity to give it a go and feel the LOVE!

This system is beautiful and amazing. I bought this for my boyfriend who is a final fantasy and video game fan and he absolutely loved it. This was the best and most perfect gift I've gotten him. The color and the painting/picture on it is lovely and the color of the system is beautiful. It works perfectly and I really cannot be any happier with it. If you're considering buying this I would strongly recommend it. This system is very unique and you won't find a nicer and more amazing one. My boyfriend and I love this system so much, I wish I could give it more stars because it really is just perfect.

This is the easiest, and most effective system I have ever used. I have tried others though out the years, (as recommended by my IT friends), but I always come back! What do they know? :-)

Replaced the spinning hard drive in my Dell laptop with this unit, and I never looked back. It's awesome and improves the user experience at every level. I could never go back to those slow boat hard drives. This was the best move I ever made on this laptop.

This is a great system. I purchased the 1TB / 4 bullet cameras / 720p / 1280TVL system for $379. I had a security specialist install the wiring, which is no small job! The resolution is amazing (see my attached pictures; one is daytime, one is night time)! It was rather a nightmare to get the system's software set up correctly, to get it online, and to get customer service. If you call their customer service line - you will likely always be about the 14th caller - and you wait and wait and wait...only to get to someone in India who doesn't understand how to help you, AT ALL. They'll then perhaps take your name and number and tell you someone will call you back - this never actually happens. The user manual, btw, is absolutely horrible and will get you nowhere! I can't even explain just how bad it is. I finally emailed the company and asked for some human help so I could get set up; by the next day I had an email with a direct phone number to the most helpful man EVER! He was located in TX, btw, not overseas. He got me online first, and then he was able to remote-in to my PC and get my system all set-up the way I wanted it set up. He was utterly amazing, and I never would've figured out on my own what he did to get the system up and running. So, I knocked off a star for not having immediate customer service available, and for the system not being user-friendly or intuitive. Once you do get it hooked up though, it's quite an amazing little system. You can also access your system via your phone using the Amcrest View app....which does, btw, seem to crash at times.

I LOVE THIS SYSTEM
It seems awfully strange to rave about an iron, but I love this iron/steamer enough that I need to post a review!  First some context:

CONTEXT
I iron occasionally and hate forking over $2 to have my shirts laundered at the dry cleaner.  I had been surviving with the $15 variety of iron until I borrowed a friends iron in France and loved it.  It was similar to the Rowenta model above.  It seems that these systems are more the norm in Continental Europe.

IRONING IS BORING NO MORE!
Let's face it, ironing is boring.  This system changes that...  When I first used the iron, it was with several friends (we were getting ready to go out).  No one was paying much attention until I started the ironing.  The room filled with steam: looking like some kind of rock spectacle.  It was amazing!!!  There's star appeal to this iron!  Now that I have started using the iron in a regular context it's enjoyable and efficient.  The whole contraption feels of quality.  Where I used to iron one or two shirts at a time, I now iron five or six.  It's hard to put the system down!  Indeed I started looking at the kitchen dish towels wondering if I should iron them!  Thicker edges flatten much faster and there are no water leaks (unless you start ironing before 5 minutes have elapsed from turning on the iron).

STEAMING
I haven't used the system to steam clothes (as opposed to ironing) but I did steam my child's silk scarf.  My wife held it in front of the steamer and it almost blew away!  Amazing.  No water by the way (as others have suggested)

ISSUES
Several reviewers cautioned that this system spits water and also complained about the long warm up time and the lack of a water level indicator.  I have had no issue with the water spitting (as long as you wait five minutes for the system to warm up and allow the first "whoosh" of steam to remove any idle water condensation in the tube).  As to the warm up time and level indicator, there are likely no easy solutions.  The tub is large (33 oz.) and it is inevitable that it will take time to heat this water to the point of producing steam.  Additionally the pressurized tank would be compromised with a water level indicator.  The tube will need refilling when the steam stops coming.

REFILLING OF RESERVOIR
This brings up an issue of mine.  The refilling of the tub (and emptying of the tub) requires some care.  You really need to make sure that the tub is fully cooled before opening the top.  Pressurized hot water is problematic.  If you are the typical ironer (ie. have OCD), you may be inclined to empty the tub after every ironing session.  Don't!  Opening the sealed cover if after a couple of minutes leads to an almost violent splatter of steam.  You're best to leave the water in the reservoir for the next session (and top-up/empty the water before the system has been turned on).

SIX FOOT STEAM TUBE
Lastly, several reviewers have referred to the 9 foot steam tube.  Ours (purchased in November 2007) has only a 6 foot steam tube.  This may be responsible for the fact that I never observed water-spitting.

MID-LIFE CRISIS
Some people buy a Ferrari, others buy real estate during their mid-life crises.  I resolved my issues with a really nice steamer/iron.  Very cool!

Happy Ironing!

The Zen Bidet (Z-500) has far exceeded our expectations.  Everything to connect the system to almost any toilet is present.  I did take it upon myself to get an actual braided line (like the included cold water line) instead of the packaged nylon tubing though.  It just makes the system not only look cleaner, but also is a more secure solution for a system such as this.  The controls are very solid and the nozzles are universally deployed for any application, just position yourself in the optimal area of water deployment and you'll be fine.  The first few times you use this system, you will know where you need to be seated in order to get the right "spray".  Overall, I would say that this is a very intuitive and solid system, at an affordable price.  I would certainly purchase again.  The designs on the main panel are discreet yet inviting and the device itself is set in a shiny plastic finish.  Wife also loves it.  5 stars here.

I would  recommend  this  workout  system to anyone!

I have read many books on how to clean and organize a home, but this one is the best I have ever used.  This system is simple, easy to follow, and it works.  I am not even close to completing the first 31 day cycle, and the difference in my home is amazing.  The house already looks cleaner and better organized, and I have not been stressed or overwhelmed in getting there.  All this in spite of the fact that my house is sufficiently mess that I can't always complete the daily assignment in the allotted time or exactly to the degree specified.  No matter, it still works.  Everything is still much improved, and I am certain that it will continue to get better as I apply this system.  And it is easy enough that I am sure I will be able to continue it.

I actually only bought this machine two years ago, I spent a long time battling with the fact that there was no in-game surround sound, and not having as good of graphics as the Cube and Xbox -- that kept me from buying it.

I guess I had a change of heart somewhere along the way and decided to give it a try.  I'm glad that I did.  The library of games is almost unbelievable, the only other system with this many titles is the GameBoy, but I must say the variety of genres on this machine is unmatched by any system.  When you go into the game store they have one wall almost entirely devoted to PS2 games, that's tough to argue.

The accessories could be a little more diverse, I recently purchased the Eye-toy and found it to be fun, but it would have been nice to have a Sony wireless network adapter and maybe a HDD like the original PS2 had.

With games like God of War and Killzone this machine has truly been a workhorse.  If you're looking at buying it, even though there are many next-gen choices, go for it.  Sony is committed to PS2 for a ten year period, so there are still many years of service you will get from this machine, and decent titles will still be coming out for it for years to come due to the installed user base of 100+ million owners.

In conclusion:  This is a great machine, and it works great to play DVD's too.
