| Koss BDZ1 Two-Pack Earbud Headphones with Case | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: These headphones are a piece of garbage. A waste at even $4 a piece. The sound quality is terrible. They fit largely in the ears. But the worst part is that the foam covers fall off every two seconds. I have warn these things twice and already see me buying a better pair in days. Don’t waste your money….I swear the people giving this a good review must work for Koss. Decent headphones Not worth the money Just OK GREAT EAR BUDS

| Encore THE BIG BOX OF ART 410 000 ( 460001 ) | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: Pretty good for the price Anyway, when I got the replacement, there was no registration card again. I was slightly frustrated, then I thought to just insert the first CD to see what would happen….it installed without a serial number! Seems like they would just say that instead of causing their customers a bit of inconvenience of sending the product back to Amazon thinking that the serial number was missing. I like Hemera, but they could be better with their customer service. Anyway, so far I am satisfied with the box set, but just wanted everyone to know that you could just install without the use of a serial number. One thing though, I noticed that while installing, it was saying that it was registering the product. I am not sure if this happened because I have a cable modem and my internet is always on. Basically what I am saying is if the software does not install, turn on your internet to see if it will install. Good luck. Good price, decent graphics, no support AWESOME CLIP-ART it’s a scam

| Hermit Crab Cove | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: Hermit crab home Not a Suitable Crabitat Pet torture chamber In order to grow, a hermit crab burrows into the ground, makes a little cave, sheds its exoskeleton, regains its strength, and returns to the surface. Why get a pet if you don’t care enough about it to provide its basic needs? Hermit crabs are not toys! THis is cruel!!! -100 stars The very smallest accpetable space for 1-5 land hermit crabs is a 10 Gallon glass tank with lid and lights! They need 4inches of play sand or moist coco-fiber in which to dig and burry, they must have the temp and humdity within range or they will die! They do not ahve lungs but modified gills! PLease PLease Do what is right and just and do not purchase this gimmick!!! Here is our site…[...]

| Quantumlock Serger by Singer? 14T967DC | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: Well, aside from the other comments above, I do not like the fact that there are no numbers for tension adjustment - you just “guess” - maybe I’m too picky but I like to have my tension exact so I get a good solid stitch. My White tells you what the tension should be for each needle and looper for the different stitches. Secondly, I do not like the fact that I cannot access the left side of the machine. I finally figured out the lever system that threads the loopers that are not visible, but I found myself very leery of this system since if something goes wrong, well, who knows? You can’t see inside. Plus, how can you really get the lint out of that area? In addition, every time I changed the plastic plate for cover stitch or to use the knife, I felt like any one of the tabs (on the plastic covers) was going to break off! Anyway, I returned it because I just couldn’t see paying $600 for one stitch - the cover stitch. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would make a dedicated cover stitch machine at around $200? Or if you could add the pieces to make your existing serger have the cover stitch as an attachment? They do it on embroidery machines, so why not sergers? I just think Singer could have done a better job - more professional, more informative (as others have said - no CD or video), and sturdier. Really Nice Serger If You Give It A Chance I received the serger and studied the manual, which is none too great. Terminology is confusing and not explained or displayed really well. I did download the manual and Workbook from the Singer website. This is a must. First of all, with a second copy of the manual you can make all the notes you need where you need them without ruining the included manual. The Workbook is invaluable. The machine came threaded for the coverstich so I started there. I have been practicing each stitch by using the workbook and so far, all has been fine. The times I have had a problem was due to user error and not the machine, ie - I had the wrong needle placement when trying to do the chainstitch. If you take you time, it really works well. Also, one other point in regard to threading the loopers. I had difficulty in threading the lower looper (red) because I was unable to see the thread assist lever as it is right at the edge of the inside of the machine, once I discovered where it was, it correctly places the thread every time. The tweezers are invaluable and although I think Singer could come up with a finer pointed pair of tweezers, these do work adequately. Become familiar with the threading, use the workbook and you will find a serger that does a really good job. Auto Tension works very well. I have not had a problem with fabric thickness, the presser foot seems to handle it all very well. Be patient with the learning curve and you will really enjoy all it can do. The Quantumlock comes with the frustration built in. I am an expert seamstress; I have been sewing for 41 years and used to be an editor for a company that produces quilting books, so I certainly have spent a lot of time behind a sewing machine. Never have I seen a sewing machine so poorly designed as this one. It is darn near impossible to thread. The gears/hardware through which you have to pass the thread are so small and so close together that it is impossible to thread without using tweezers. But once you thread it (if you can–I’ve yet been able to) you have to unthread (parts of) it to do particular stitches, which means inevitably you’ll have to go through the agony of rethreading later. There’s more. It does not have a swing arm that opens with a hinge so that you can access the left side of the threading area. This means you’re looking into darkness while you try to thread the left side and it also means there’s no area for your fingers to fit into to thread it. (So what are you supposed to do? Thread it with a toothpick in your mouth?) Further, changing the needles is awkward because the needle area sits so far below eye level. The store employee tipped the machine over and had me balance it, suspended, while she changed the needle, which of course means it takes two people to change a needle. AND you have to change the needle often because the various stitches you may want to use require you to do so. The sewing foot lifts barely 1/4″ upward from the throat plate, which makes it hard to place even thin fabric under it. I tried to put a piece of elastic over a very skinny piece of nylon fabric (like the type a woman’s slip is made of) and had to tug and tug to get it to fit. Forget trying to sew medium or heavy fabrics with this machine. My husband paid $600 for this machine but it did not come with a video or CD to help the customer learn how to operate it. I give the Quantumlock two stars, the only positive thing I can say about it, because it is designed to do everything. But if you have never used an overlock you will be frustrated by the complexity of this machine. Every time you start another sewing project, or change your stitch parameters, you will have to go through a long, annoying process to reconfigure your machine. I am returning mine to the store next week.
Machine is strong but complex - not recommended for beginner sewers If patience and detail are not your thing, consider a simpler, less capable serger - something with fewer threads. As with most machines, the more it can do, the more complex the setup. To help you decide what machine to buy, I recommend getting Singer’s “The New Sewing with a Serger” book for a good over view and guide. If possible, consider visiting a local dealer to actually touch and try out. the machine. However, I have to agree with the previous reviewer regarding Singer’s documentation for this machine. The original instruction booklet that comes packaged with this unit is sorely lacking and is organized more as an occasional reference rather than a teaching tool. Even so, it leaves out important details and could have been better organized — that is why I gave this serger 4 stars rather than 5. For better and far more detailed instructions, go to Singer’s website (www.singerco.com). It is a free download. I am still experimenting with all of the functions of my machine but here are some tips that may help you get started (1) Be prepared to take your time with the instructions to get acquainted. In the end, it will save you time. Defintely get the enhanced documentation from Singerco.com and use that to setup and thread your machine. (2) At first, I found the terminology more intimidating than it actually is. I recommend having a reference book on hand such as “The New Sewing with a Serger” to help.. Hang in there - once you thread and sew on this serger the first time, things will start to make more sense. (4) Start with a simple 2 thread stitch such as the double chain. This stitch must start and end in the fabric. Success is conquering the machine setup, threading and needle placement. Add more threaded, complicated stitches as you become more familiar with the setup & threading paths. Remember to remove the needle threads before you make changes in the looper threads. Note: For easier threading, you will find that you can slip the thread from the bottom of most of the metal hooks in the looper part of the serger. Use tweezers as needed. (5) Always thread loopers first, then thread needles last. Otherwise, your threads will get jammed up before you are ready to sew. (General order: Loopers: Green, Red, Brown, and Needles: Orange, Blue) (6) After you complete threading a single looper, be sure to pull about 4 inches of thread up through the opening and toward the back of the machine before going on to the next one. Repeat individually for each looper as required. (7) Triple check machine setup, needle position and threading against the diagram in the machine and documentation before sewing. This part goes pretty quickly after the first couple of successes. (8) Use an inexpensive, clean, medium sized makeup brush to quickly clean out lint and threads after each use. It is bigger and it does a better job than the small brush included in the box. Hope these tips helps. I will update these comments as my experience with this serger grows.

| Progressive Jumbo Potato Cutter | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: Nice and big Recently we bought a cabin so needed to add a second set of kitchen tools. One of the items we decided we wanted was a second potato cutter. I ordered this one because of the “jumbo” in the name hoping that it would work as well as our previous garage sale cutter. Thankfully, this product lives up to the jumbo name. It’s larger than our garage sale cutter by 20% or so. It is easy to use and clean up. Not to mention it has a suction cup to attach it to the counter which works surprisingly well. Pros: Large with two sizes of cutting blades; a larger mesh for traditional fries and smaller mesh for McDonald-like fries. Cons: It’s plastic and steel which makes me wonder about longevity. All-in-all, I think this was a good purchase. Update My wife loves this vegetable cutter and has asked me to order another! She has used ours at least twice a week since we recieved it in Aug 2005 and has had no difficulties with it at all. I’m surprised to see that another purchaser has had problems with this product. Perhaps they received a defective one? At any rate, I would still recommend the product.

| Little Tikes Mission Design Table | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: Wonderful Table My son is 5YO and slightly tall for his age. He sits at the table with plenty of room for growth. This was a great investment because it will last for many years to come. As mentioned by other reviewers the color of the wood pretty much coordinates with anything. Top Quality Little Tykes Mission Design Wood Table Pricey, but SUPER! This table (and the matching chairs) are not only beautiful but sturdy as well! The light wood finish compliments all types of decor. The light coating of finish on the table and chairs make clean up a breeze, which is a huge plus in my book! These are sturdy, well made pieces of furniture which your toddler and children can beat up without you worrying about paint chipping. It is perfectly proportioned for young children. My nearly 3 year old daughter, who is 38 inches tall, sits at this table comfortably. Her 6 year old cousin, who is 51 inches tall, also fits at this table comfortably! We would buy from this collection again in a heartbeat and would (and have!) recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful, sturdy, functional table and chairs set for their little ones!

| Sangean RS-330 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: The sound quality, as far as clock radios go, is definitely above par. Falling asleep to NPR music or the BBC world service is like a lullaby for me with the Sangean’s sleep timer enabled. The slowly increasing volume level upon wake up is an excellent way to start ones day. In my opinion, this is perhaps the best feature. I’m a very sound sleeper, and this unit has never failed to awaken me, unlike previous alarm clocks. Operating this unit couldn’t be much simpler after spending a few minutes perusing the instruction manual. The buttons seem to me to be well laid out and easy enough to locate and operate in the dark with a bit of practice. The display is perfectly adequate, allowing me to see the time without my glasses. Not too bright, and not too dim once adjusted to my liking. As other reviewers have pointed out, the display brightness adjustment potentiometer can be damaged if you’re too rough with it. I had no problem making the adjustment with the screwdriver on my Swiss army knife, which happened to be conveniently located on my nightstand. It’s unlikely that I’ll ever touch it again. I can see how the cost of the RS-330 could scare away some potential buyers. While value is certainly subjective, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and feel that the cost is justified. broke down in 3 days If the Proton was a good product then this is it’s inferior relative. From other reviews, it looks like you’ll take a gamble on this one. It’ll either work or not. My guess is it’s produced in different countries so the quality depends on the country it is produced. Mine was manufactured in August 2007 but It doesn’t tell me where. Sangean Digital AM/FM Clock Radio For a clock radio, the Sangean RS-330 has very good sound. I listen to a lot of AM talk radio so the clarity of the spoken voice is important. I also listen to some FM but don’t think I’ll need to get the companion stereo component. For serious sound filling stereo FM, I’ll listen to my sound system. Overall this radio sounds much better than the vast majority of clock radios on the market and provides very good sound at normal listening levels. Thank goodness, I don’t have the hum other reviewers mentioned. The LED display is nice and slightly larger than the Proton R5A. I can easily adjust it for my bedroom at night. The buttons are well arranged and the different shapes are nice for night operation. The true test was finding stations in the middle of the night without turning on the light and waking your companion. I recommend this unit if you want a good looking AM/FM Clock Radio that sounds good, easy to use and fits nicely and looks handsome on your night stand. Even the price is reasonable. Sangean RS-330 digital radio [ASIN:B000023VW1 Sangean RS-330 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio]] this is the one to own
