Outstanding grooming tool for our pug. It hasn’t cured him of leaving fur everywhere he walks but it sure helps. I ended up buying my sister one for her two pugs an hour after we used ours for the first time and she was ecstatic after using it.

2000 readers can’t be wrong can they? Umm, yea they might be.

How is it that a mediocre book can consistently get raves?
I was excited by the “prospect” of this book but the more I read, the more resigned I became to the fact that there was nothing very extraordinary about it.
Not only is the writing flat and the plot a giant cliche – there’s also the matter of the central “love” triangle being blatantly lifted from Sophie’s Choice (I cringe referring to that classic alongside this book) right down to the suprise party / angry accusation by a lunatic.

Mediocrity is being rewarded with a big Hollywood movie starring Reese Witherspoon. Ahh, American pop culture.

It’s great for carpeting. It kicks the butt of vacuums 3 times the price. I live with 2 cats (1 with super fine hair), I have long hair myself, and a long haired boyfriend. One pass once a week picks up every bit of fur/hair and fluffs the carpet nicely. It sucks up heavy particles like small wood chips, and large floppy things like ficus tree leaves.

I have dust/particulate allergies. Wall to wall carpet and dust allergies are a bad combo. This machine keeps my carpet so dust/hair free that I don’t notice my allergies and I need no allergy meds. With my old vac, (Eureka Mighty Mite) I could vacuum 3 times a week and still sneeze.

The beater bar doesn’t get much long hair wound around it, I only pull loose the wound hairs once after I’m done vacuuming all 600 sq ft of carpeted rooms. This is a wonder to me, every other beater bar I’ve tried starts to slow down from hair windings within 2 minutes.

The exhaust port is tall, and shoots air out to the left of the body. Every vacuum (except central vacs, where the motor and exhaust are located outside the house) is gonna disturb dust with the exhaust port blowing air. This ones exhaust doesn’t interfere with cleaning while on carpeting.

On bare floors it’s a different story. The exhaust air bounces off vertical surfaces and swirls the dirt around. This vacuum kinda blows for bare floors. I use a cannister vac or a dust mop on bare floors.

It weighs about 16.5 pounds. I can lift it easily with one hand. It pushes easily across the carpet, even on the lowest setting called “bare floors”. I barely exert any effort pushing this thing around.

The cord measures approximately 24 ft 8 in. That’s long enough to be useful, not so long that I have to wrangle the cord.

It’s not quiet, but it’s tolerably noisy and lower pitched. No painful high pitched screaming whine. Unlike most other vacuums I’m not compelled to wear my Peltor ear goggles while vacuuming, and I don’t have ringing ears after I’m done. The

I was very disappointed in the sound quality and also how hard it was to manage music collections. It does seem to be very durable though.

I’ve had this now for a couple of years and have logged countless miles on it in rain, cold, heat, etc. A very durable watch. GPS is fairly accurate (only off by less than 1/10 of a mile after any 5K. I know that these have gotten smaller, but for the money, this is a very wise purchase! A must have for any runner who wants to log their runs or to review races, runs, etc.
