I was impressed with other Shark products enough to buy this vacuum to replace an Oreck. First of all this vacuum weighs more than the Oreck and has a smaller head and is noisier, but to its credit, costs less. As another reviewer said, the true test of this vacuum is whether it will last more than 13 months. Well, it is just shy of 7 1/2 months and this vacuum just died. It was preceded by a very loud sound coming from the motor but was not the result of running over or trying to pick up any large objects. It happened with normal use. When calling the customer service, it was obvious I was talking to Asia. The person belabored the fact that I needed to be sure that the electricity was working in my house. He then informed me that I'd need to ship it insured, all at my expense to N.C., and then spend $16.99 to have it fixed despite its alleged 5 year warranty. Sorry, but this product just doesn't last with normal use and their warranty and customer service leave much to be desired. There will be no more Shark products in my household and my friends and family and Amazon will learn of the fact that I cannot recommend it or other Shark products.

I absolutely love this costume! the only negative thing I have to say is that I would like a puffier skirt as shown in the advertisement.

I live in a food 'desert' out here in Queens, NY. THIS Motts deal saves the day - LITERALLY !! Otherwise, I'd probably have to run out and buy some of the 'fake' apple juice that is sold in some of the local stores.

I bought this blender with mixed feelings since I had read some great reviews, and on the flip-side, I also read a few reviews that were not so flattering. I use this blender several times every day to make smoothie/protein drinks made with frozen fruit and protein powder. Reading some reviews saying that it did not blend to a smooth consistency, I have to say that it does a perfect job of blending my drinks completely, even with the frozen fruit or ice added. No chunks of frozen stuff, or un-blended powder mix to contend with. There are a few slight drawbacks to deal with, one being that you cannot take the lid off to add extra ingredients while the blender is running. Also, blending knives assembly is sharp and pointed, so it takes some extra caution when washing the blades. But, I have to say that it is definitely worth the small inconveniences since it does such a great job.

Good book. Kept me reading til the end! Havent read any books by Robert Dugoni before and now am reading the 1st in the Tracy detective series. So far so good!
