I’m sure that this vacuum is indeed the best choice in the $100 or less price range. It does a very good job of cleaning carpet–as good as our old Kenmore Progressive upright vacuum which was $250 or so about 8 years ago–and has a powerful 12 amp motor. It’s inexpensive, and it cleans carpet well.

Yes. This is all true.

However . . . this thing feels CHEAP. I understand that an under a $100 vacuum is not going to be built to the same standards as one two or three times as expensive . . . but . . . I still expect it to be a well designed product no matter what the price. This vacuum is not. The dust bag cover fits poorly and has–I kid you not–a full quarter inch of play between it and the mating surface. When the suction is on, air pressure will push the seal against the mating flange, yes, but when the vacuum is off . . . well, it’s just not sealed. And also this dust bag cover DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTUAL LATCH. You latch it by flexing the whole cover downward enough that the catch clears the top notch in the body that secures it.

Next in the list of poorly designed items comes the back cord windup. It looks and feels like an after thought. There is a top and a bottom “L” bracket around which you wind the cord, but the vacuum hose is right there in between, which forces the cord winding coil to be bulged out and to feel insecure. Don’t get me wrong. It does work. Or it would have if my unit hadn’t been defective, that is (more on this in a second). But even though it works, it’s the sort of thing that would annoy me every single time I used the vacuum. And, in my case, the “C” shaped rubber clip at the base of the plug (molded into it) had so small a channel that there WAS NO WAY that it would actually grab one of the earlier winding loops of the cord so that the whole coiling would remain secure and in place! And, on top of that, the “guide hook” at the top “L” bracket which is supposed to hold the cord in place in a convenient location while yo

B Kamins Eye Cream

I agree with the other reviews I’ve read here. The scale is consistant – lean forward – stand sideways – bend your knees – these things all made a difference on my old scale but not on this one.

I’ve never had a digital scale before. Having such an easy to read scale that gives my weight to the nearest .2 pounds is addicting. I am facinated to find out how much difference a glass of water can make. I am definately renewed in my effort to get and stay slim!

Thumbs up EatSmart!
Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream

a drink for your face. This is the best facial lotion. It leaves no residue. It moisturizes better than anything I have used. It feels light & hydrates my skin.

Proceed with caution. Company delivered exactly what I ordered and did so quickly. I tried the cream for personal reasons and soon learned that progesterone is not something to mess around with. I immediately experienced acne, dizziness and irritability in the one week that I used it. But that’s not the company’s fault!!

My New Beauty Must-Have. This stuff is great. I have problem skin and Egyptian Magic Cream 4 Oz doesn’t make me break out. I’ve been using it for about 2-3 weeks now and have noticed a lot less redness and discoloration.

I also use it on the ends of my hair to tame fly-aways. My hair is fine and it doesn’t make it look greasy and even adds shine. This product will be a part of my daily beauty routine from now on.
