I bought this for my 10 year-old daughter and it is perfect for her. I would need the larger GB for myself, but for her, it’s great. Highly recommend.

I live in a townhouse with older rugs, and have a Siberian Husky subject to occasional “accidents.” I decided to buy this unit based on its excellent reviews. I couldn’t be happier. The results have been excellent. There are excellent reviews here, and I’m not going to repeat everything. I would like to make a few points, however:

1. Just like with vacuuming, speed does make a difference. Take your time. In addition to more “brushing” time, the amount of water picked up goes way up if you don’t rush. The suction is powerful, but it can’t make up for excessive speed. I have finished cleaning as late as 11 PM, and found the carpets to be dry next morning.

2. The Hoover brand cleaning solution that I use, the Platinum, is expensive, and the unit does go through it. I will continue to use it, though, because I don’t do carpets every day, and the cleaning quality is just excellent. I’m sure that other solutions would also work fine, but I don’t plan on switching because I’m satisfied. Read the reviews for recommendations.

3. The unit is fairly heavy, and your back will be tired when you finish.

4. You do have to empty the dirty container, and refill the clean container, fairly often. It’s not hard, just takes a bit of time.

5. I don’t know where ’steam’ came from in the name. There is none. However, I don’t see a need for steam. Nor any more professional cleaning.

I didn’t get into the characters at all, I skipped the last 100 pages and read the last chapter.

This was purchased as a gift, so I have no comment on the product itself, but I can say that I received it 2 days after ordering, in the weeks before Christmas! Very fast shippers.

The seller was great . Good communication about receiving the order and good communication about mailing the product. Prompt mailing………….would shop with them again……Theresa

I love this cleaner. Everything they say about it picking up dirt is true! Somehow, there is satisfaction in pouring out dirty water and seeing more sludge left behind. Makes you wonder how dirty your carpet really was! It does a great job at leaving the carpet looking fresh and bright afterward.

I am quite glad I purchased the Omron Pedimeter. It seems to be quite accurate. And best of all it encourages me to take more steps. For instance: when I read it and it says ‘550′ steps, I say to myself let’s take it to 600 (and so forth throughout the day adding lots of extra steps that I wouldn’t have done without it). And that is very easy to do, and when I’m waiting for my toast to come up (or whatever) I walk in place, adding more steps and making good use of the time.
Before I bought it, I read the reviews and quite a few people mentioned how they lost theirs, and that it should have a leash. So I also bought a leash at the same time, which I didn’t need. Because it now comes with one so you won’t need to buy a leash.

Really enjoyable adolescent book, highly recommended for guys as well as girls of middle school age.

This is very good if someone just needs the just exel, powerpoint, and word. Also comes with Onenote that is great for keeping notes for daily life.

I’ve been using MS Office 2010 Beta since it became available earlier this year and really like it. I purchased the MS Office 2007 version because it was being offered at a lower price than normal and purchase included a free upgrade to MS Office 2010 when it becomes available. As of today (06/26/10) the offer is still valid and it is a good deal. Also, the 2010 version is available for download NOW. I have downloaded and installed the 2010 upgrade – it is a no hassle deal and installs clean – no problems. My advice: Buy the 2007 version at a discounted price and upgrade to 2010 for free. Amazon’s free shipping makes the deal even better.

I gave the 2007 version 3 of 5 stars because I only bought it to get the discounted price and the included free upgrade to 2010. The 2010 version is better and has more features.

Be advised: this version of Microsoft Office does not include Outlook – you must purchase Outlook separately. It’s still a great buy because Outlook is discount priced as well and you are not buying a lot of extra suite components that you will probably never use.
