This carpet cleaner does a good job. It is ironic though that it is called a “steam” cleaner and there is no mention of using hot water in the manual and the unit does not heat the water to make steam. So, I used water I had heated to a boil and did not use any soap at all. This did a great job and dried quickly.

I just got this vacuum, and it seems to work fine. However, the design is very flawed. I had a hoover vacuum prior to this which was purchased in 1996. It recently broke, which is why I bought this one. Two things that really, REALLY bug me:

1) The old vacuum had a storage compartment for the extension wand tools right below and in front of the top handle. There was a clear/see-through plastic lid which you had to lift to access the 3 tools. This new vacuum does not have this handy compartment-the tools are placed separately behind the vacuum in different places.

2) In the old hoover, the hose was stored on the RIGHT side of the vacuum. All you had to do was drape it over a piece of plastic on the right side and then stick it in its hole at the bottom. The wire was coiled in the back. In this new vacuum, the hose goes BEHIND the vacuum, RIGHT behind the wire. So you have this mess of coiled wire and a coiled hose (and don’t forget the tools)….what the…?!?! A very fatal design flaw, in my opinion. Really, hoover? REALLY? Come on, this is 2010, your 1996 product made much more sense in terms of design.

Even though the old vacuum had a 7.3-amp motor compared to the 12-amp one in this vacuum, it was still a powerful vacuum with great design. It lasted 14 years and helped me tremendously…God bless the “Hoover Dimension Limited” vacuum. This new vacuum has some pretty large shoes to fill, so to speak.

This series was one that was always on my recommended list and for ages I set it to the side and read on with other authors, content that I wasn’t missing much. After seeing it for sale for a few dollars in a bargain bin at the book store I picked it up thinking that even for a few dollars it can’t be that bad. I regret now that I didn’t pick this series up as soon as it came out! The wit and humor of this story and its fellow’s blew me away and becoming close to the characters is unavoidable. Mr. Colfer creates a world full of mystery, intrigue, danger, excitement, humor, love and companionship. I would have paid much, much more for this book had I known what I was missing. I highly advise anyone looking for a great read and a wonderful story to pick up this series and make time to read it cause you won’t be able to put it down.

I’ve had a six brush Hoover steam vac for 10 yrs. and it was time for a new one. The attachment hose kept tearing at the bottom when you collapsed the vacuum. But I was really surprised to see they re-engineered the new one to not do that anymore!! Even though it is more work to attach the hose, it is worth it knowing I won’t be breaking something down the road. I have always been happy with our steam vac. We have had a cat for 14 years and the messes he made were always able to be cleaned up, along with our little girl! I used this steam vac a couple of days after I received it(which only took two days for normal delivery!! Don’t have to pay extra for two day delivery), and was very happy again. The carpets were dry in just a couple of hours. I would highly recommed this steamvac to anyone and was very happy about the price!

Honest questions have followed humanity throughout the ages and religions have attempted to give good workable answers to them in order to satisfy man’s need for satisfaction when dealing with the kunundrums of life. Why do good people suffer? What if a person feels they are gay? What about sleeping with your “boyfriend” whom you know is your soul-mate?…and more. These are some of the questions that need to be addressed strongly, head on, and with a certain intellectual brutality. This book, unfortunately, simply spins out answers that could be construed as the result of the advent of the late sixties early seventies. The basic premise for such thinking is that truth is relative which means that ultimately there are no absolutes, which means truth is true for you and not necessarily for me. As long as we both don’t bother each other, it’s all good. Unfortunately, that is not the definition of truth, as a matter of fact, relativism in itself is an absolute statement thus negating it’s basic theory and premise. This book is downright dangerous because it will influence young minds to think incorrectly. All people would love to know God when it boils down to it. The question, of course, is “who is He” or even better “what is He”. This book does nothing to really address that either. Avoid this book if you want to avoid adding to your religious confusion. Know this: This book is antitheical to the Bible. The Bible is very clear about every topic discussed in this book, and since the Bible does claim to be the one and only truth, we have a problem and a challenge: both can’t be true. So I ask you, reader, which one is telling the truth? Seek God, ask Him to tell you Who He is, ask the Lord Jesus (and don’t throw out this review just because I said His name…come on, let’s give everybody a voice otherwise you are just displaying your fear and prejudice)to reveal Himself to you, and watch your life truly change. Otherwise you will be reading these type of books until yo

I love this Pedometer. Just put it your pocket and go. I also bought the safety leash that is sold seperate because it has a medal clip. I recommend both.

I’ve purchased cheap Wal-Mart brand pedometers and never got an accurate count, if they even counted! I was tired of wasting money and seen this one on Dr. Oz and thought I’d give it a try. Little to say, I won’t buy anything else now! This pedometer does an excellent job counting my steps! Now I know how many steps I take in a day, and know how many more I need to take! I definately would advise people to try this pedometer! It works!

Having lived both in Maine and in northern New York, I can tell you that the Spitfire Grill captures exquisitely the spirit and essence of a small town in both of these places. Characters abound in these parts of the country –just as they do in this excellent movie, “The Spitfire Grill”. This is one of those movies that has a little bit of everything. It is good, clean entertainment that even the kids can watch. It is at times thrilling, at other times heart warming; and it may even bring tears to your eyes. Acting is all around superb! The Spitfire Grill is now one of my all time favorites. Its both in full screen and widescreen.

this machine is very easy to use. Because of its low price it’s quite affordable instead of renting a steam vacuum machine. It cleans the stains and removes smells wonderfully. Highly recommendable.
