I just purchased the Hoover SteamVac F5914 from Amazon. After wrestling with my Bissell Steam Cleaner, I finally gave up and decided to give this cleaner a try after reading the reviews. Most of my home is carpeted and I have some large rooms. I cannot believe how much more dirt this machine picked up than my Bissell. I thought the Hoover seemed kind of cheap while assembling it (thus only 4 stars). This machine is so easy to use and does a great job of cleaning the carpet! Spots that my old machine would not remove, disappeared with my new machine. I love the spinning brushes- they are easy to remove and clean, and easy to reinstall. With my Bissell, I had a rolling brush that seemed to pick up tons of carpet fuzz and clogged up the machine. It was a night mare to clean. I also had to take the Bissell apart to replace the belt. I love that this machine has no belts and is very easy to clean. I like how the yellow ball pops up when you need to empty the dirty tank and refill the clean tank. My only disappointment is that the tank only holds 1 gallon which is not enough to get some of my larger rooms completed. I’ll stick with this size of steamer though because it is easy to handle and easy to store. Over all I think this is Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900an excellent machine and a good buy!

iPad? Sure why not, but don’t discount the Kindle with it’s easy on-the-eyes display, dictionary and light weight design it reads in the sunlight as easy as it reads indoors without the bulk of an iPad.
So, if you want an iPad that’s great it’s a wonderful device, but it’s no substitute for the avid reader’s indulgence like the Kindle; the two can coexist quite nicely.

This Pedometer is the 3rd or 4th I’ve owned and is easy to operate and read the display. It fits comfortable into my pants pocket or may be carried in my purse to count steps. One negative note is that is doesn’t count steps taken on a “stroll” like with my nearly 80 year old mother.

Had a hard time getting the Wii Fit balance board I wanted for Wii Fit excersice program. Finally got one!! Enjoy the programs and am on the “weigh down” with my weight. Very enjoyable using all the programs that I am able to do now, looking forward to adding more exercise forms for advanced as I progress. Been using it almost every day.
Lady and the Tramp
I Bought this one on a whim as my favorite authors seemed to have dried up a little. I’m so glad I did, it’s wonderful.
Jacob Jankowski is 93 (hr thinks) and in an old folks home put out to pasture. He has an enthralling story inside him that many of us only wish we had. Dropping out of college and running away with the circus as a young man, his story unfolds as a true adventure.
The circus of the 30’s is the back drop for this wonderful yarn and we follow Jacob as he navigates his way around the people, the lore, the language and the pecking order. All the characters are colorful and each brings a dimension to the story that has the reader turning pages as fast as possible. I think I blew through this one in two days. I might have done it in one had I not had commitments I had to keep.
The story is interspersed with up to date goings on at the old folks home the aged Jankowski is a resident of but, you can just tell his heart is still on the circus train of his youth. The end of the book is perfect in its simplicity and “rightness”.
To say I thoroughly enjoyed this book would somehow understate the whole experience, to say I loved it would be closer to the truth. If you want something to read that will draw you in like a moth to a flame, this might just be the book. If you want to be taken back to a bygone age of Americana complete with all its misgivings and mayhem, this might be the story. If you want to immerse yourself in a great story that, I hope becomes a movie, this IS the book.

Works very well, many features, powerful and very flexible. A real bargain as I expected to pay much more for this performance.

After replacing my old bathroom scale with this sleek, modern, easy-to-read scale, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I stepped on and weighed almost eight pounds heavier than my old scale. So, I put it to the litmus test and placed my two eight-pound hand weights on there, and it registered at 15.6 pounds so if anything, this scale is a fraction of weight under. The price is right too! Good scale!

I actually got the audiobook format of this title as a gift. If you haven’t heard it, do yourself a favor and buy it. The readers do an excellent job of bringing the characters to life for you, and I think I heard nuances that I might have missed in print.
Whether you take my advice or simply read the print version of this book, by all means read it. I have not read a book this good in several years.

This is my 2nd HJ-112. The previous one worked for 2 years w/absolutely no problems. I didn’t even have to change the battery for at least 18 months. The only reason I needed a new one is that I dropped the old one once too many times. I’m very pleased with this pedometer and feel like it’s the most accurate brand and style I’ve owned.
