The best price around. Checked out the price at the local pet store and Amazon was less than 50% of the price. This deshedder works great. Already have one…bought these for friends who tried mine and had to have one!!! Delivery was very fast and everything was as the shipper had stated.

I loved my first 305 so much, I couldn’t stand not having another. This model is reputed to be much better than its predecessor. Other than being a little smaller, I’ve not heard that the newer model is much of an improvement over the 305, so when mine died, I purchased another 305. I used the Forerunner for almost 5 years, frequently on a daily basis, with no problems whatsoever. Occasionally I would forget to check the status of the battery and get to a race, turn the 305 on and be greeted with a low battery warning. The Forerunner 305 would last at least through an entire 5K and I think one time I ran a 10K after receiving the warning. I don’t use all the bells and whistles so I can’t comment on those, but for a dependable, strap on and run GPS/heart rate monitor, you won’t be disappointed by the Garmin Forerunner 305. I think my original 305 just needs a new battery for the wrist unit because I can still get it to work for a short period of time; rather than get stranded without it, I purchased the new one but intend to replace the battery the next time I’m near an authorized service dealer if the price is right. Garmin wanted $90 to send the unit in for repair and it wasn’t much more than that to buy a new one.

This order was a replacement for this steamvac that we had before that broke. We are happy with the machine but was disappointed because there was a missing bolt. We spoke to customer service who then sent us the wrong bolt. It became clear that we were never going to get the correct bolt. We went to the hardware store and bought parts to make the missing bolt.

love this product!!!!!.The only problem i had was the shipping.Please do not use USPS!!. This item was mailed three different times before i received it.
The first one was sent via USPS. I waited after the estimated delievery date only to be told the item was lost in transit. Amazon shipped a second one and i was given an estimated delievery date.The date passed and when i called Amazon the rep called USPS VIA a three way conference only to be told to wait or call my local post office. I called my local post office two days later and spoke to the branch manager.He told me the replacement was also lost in transit
He further said he will investigate and call me later .He never did. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE .I called Amazon and a third ipod was sent via Fedex next day delievery.Which i did receive on time.Over all ,it is a good product.THE IPOD ARRIVED A MONTH LATER AFTER I HAD ORDERD IT.

So I bought this book because I’ve seen it in stores/online/etc. I didn’t like it too much, I like Artemis and Butler but that’s about it. I bought the second to see if it was better than the first, it was. I bought the third to see if it was better than the second, it was. I bought the forth to see if it was better than the third, it was. And I bought the fifth because I liked the rest, and the fifth was awesome.

What I’m trying to get at is, don’t be turned off by the first, because THEY DO get better.

Good bike for the price, with quality in the right places. The Schwinn Prelude is a lot of bike for $199. The wheel hubs are aluminum (not stamped steel) so the bearings will stay tight and roll smooth with little or no maintenance. The cranks are aluminum, with replaceable chainrings. The rims are aluminum, in the international standard 700c size (not the old 27″ size). The frame is aluminum, just like more expensive road bikes. Aluminum parts are lightweight, do not rust and should provide many years of trouble-free service. Those are all “must have” features. The 14-speed (7 x 2) thumb shifters are simple to operate while keeping your hands on the bars. The Shimano Tourney derailleurs should provide years of trouble-free service.

However, I was disappointed to see that the frame does not have threaded holes (braze-ons) for mounting a cargo rack or fenders. Also, the stock saddle looks a little slim for some riders; but is easily replaced (I recommend a Terry Liberator or Velo Plush). Conclusion: This is a capable road bike, worthy of upgrades. The lack of rack and fender mount points limits its usefulness for commuting (though handlebar bags and seatpost-mounted pannier racks are decent options). I estimate that the Prelude will comfortably fit riders from 5′ 10″ to about 6′ 2″ (I only saw one size offered). If you are in that height range, looking for a great deal on an entry-level road bike, give this one a try. By not having the overpriced Shimano STI shifters, you’ll save hundreds of dollars, and you’ll hardly miss them.

very happy about this product. Good product and work smoothly. I used Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge for my kid’s 12″ bike, my 26″ road bike and my wife’s 24″ mountain bike, it does very good job. Even my 6-year-old son can use it without any problem. I also use it for my kid’s air bed while camping out, just work! I’m very happy to have this light weight pump.

Buy used instead!. I bought this for my wife as we both got into cycling to prepare for our first triathlon. When I bought this I knew nothing about bicycles. Since buying this bicycle however, I have been forced to learn.

The bicycle has many problems. The most serious of which are the brakes. The brake levers are ridiculously hard to squeeze and the levers require a far reach, both of which are not ideal for a woman’s bicycle. The brake calipers and the brake levers had to be changed. The tubes and rim liners had to be replaced as the rim liners were too soft allowing the tube to herniate into the rim and burst. My wife has been having trouble shifting the gears I realized that the derailleurs are faulty, especially the front one. After a few trips to the bicycle shop I also realized that although this bicycle is made of aluminum GMC Denali 700c Womens Road Bicycle is much heavier than a proper steel bicycle. A proper aluminum bicycle is half the weight if this bicycle. Lastly, the grip shift system sucks!

This bicycle is very cheap and looks tempting for a beginner. A decent new entry level women specific design (WSD) bicycle is about $700 but there is always the option of used for around $400-300. If you buy this bicycle you will have to replace many parts and it will never be as good as a cheap used steel road bicycle. I would recommend you not buy this bicycle, buy used instead.

To look on the bright side, buying this bicycle has forced me to learn about bicycles to the point where I now feel comfortable about building a bike from parts.
