COMPLEX BUT INVOLVING THRILLER: Brandon Roberts, the hero of NIGHTWATCHER, wants justice served..and he wants revenge. His daughter, Judith, has been brutally murdered, and the initial suspects are three escaped mental patients. Judith worked at this mental hospital as a nurse, and was planning on moving on with her two daughters. She is murdered however before she can achieve this goal.Wilson leads us through a maze of plot entanglements, and gives us several suspects, including the woman's gay ex-husband; a snarly next door neighbor; maybe even a cop. We also meet a despicable patient named Minnefield who says he saw the murderer enter the cottage (it's on the institution's grounds, by the way). Roberts enlists the aid of both the local sheriff and a private investigator who helped Judith get her children back when the ex kidnapped them.The murderer's identity is apparent early on, but Wilson throws in enough doubt to make you wonder along the way.A good, crisp thriller.
MUCH BETTER THAN BOTH BIBLES: Moretti's Book is a clear, detailed approach to the shortgame and you don't have to be a Rocket Scientist to understand it. It is extremely well written and I guarantee it will help any level of golfer improve his short game. Along with reading the book I can also offer firsthand testimony that the man knows what he's talking about,since I recently attended his Academy of Golf Dynamics School. I've witnessed his shortgame concepts firsthand. Take the advice of a Golf Instruction Nut and Buy This Book. You won't regret the purchase.
Not of this earth!: The Wild Swans exist (existed?) on a higher plane, and their music somehow drifted down to our (lower) realm. This is one of my ALL-TIME favorite cd's, an absolute treasure. For YEARS I only had a homemade cassette tape, given to me by God-knows-who in college. The tape, much to my chagrin, was rapidly deteriorating as tapes will do. I was thrilled beyond all measure when an Amazon search yielded this result. I paid under $60 to acquire a very good used cd, and considered myself fortunate at the time. I fear that I would have paid double that amount if necessary (or more). Simultaneously soothing AND exhilarating.
Coolest soulful new wave for an early road trip !!!: If your into Morrissey, The Lightning Seeds and The Care.... This band The Wild Swans, catches your young spirit souring high imagining blue skies, beach, school and dreams..... The vocalist has an awe inspiring menthol taste voice in your ears, its the best album all mesmerizing in its rhythm..... Timeless... and it takes your breath away !!! Really worth it !!!
Finally!: This is a truly awesome album which I've been trying to find for a long, long time, 9 years to be exact, in every import or used section in just about every record store I've been to. This review may be redundant, but I want to point out how many people have said they've been hunting for this album. It's amazing that one album produced by a short-lived, obscure band could attract such a loyal following and elicit such enthusiastic reviews.
Science Fiction, Romance... what more does a reader need?: This book was delightful from beginning to end. The story itself was very interesting. From the moment that I began to read the book, I could not put it down. Finally we have found an up and coming author that we can compare to the best!
I've Been There: She's Got it Right: In this novel of love lost, St. John provides a realistic portrait of a woman unceremoniously dumped. I've been in Nicola's shoes and the range of emotions she experiences is dead on target. St. John accurately captures those lingering feelings of love, the anger, and then the realization that some parts of you are permenently broken after such an experience. Sure, it's a sad sad thing...but St. John incorporates humor and wisdom nicely.I would go so far as to compare it to "Bridget Jones' Diary" although a more serious look at modern love and commitment.
On Being Dumped and Being Dignified: In contrast to an American character, who might wallow in self-pity, eat Haagen-Das and plot revenge, Nicola takes the high road when unceremoniously dumped by Jonathan, her live-in lover of five years. Deeply shocked, she maintains her love for him and her belief in herself through the process of finding out what happened, why he's asking her to leave, and accepting the outcome of that process.Madeleine St. John uses realistic and often witty dialogue between peripheral characters to demonstrate how the break up of two people can have an effect on almost everyone they know. Although she writes with a light touch, she explores the relationship dynamics between four other couples while giving play to the fragility of any love relationship. The Essence of the Thing is a quick and entertaining read, but it could not be described as shallow by any stretch of the imagination.
Excellent writing, but without lingering impact: This book is a compact collection of scenes which take place during the end of a relationship, along with remembrances of earlier times. Ms. St. John has a complete grasp of the ebb and flow of dialogue through which she unerringly creates the clear presence of the characters and situation, capturing both the humour and poignancy which the spoken word sometimes achieves. The context is also one to which most readers will undoubtedly find certain resonance from their own experiences. However, despite the book being thoroughly enjoyable, and inducing great appreciation for the craftsmanship, I was left with only the faintest lingering taste of the story after it was finished. That in itself is not necessarily an unpleasant sensation, but do not read this book with the expectation of wrenching, emotional reverberations.
It does hurt that way: I agree with a previous reviewer that this novel relies heavily on dialogue, but, contrary to what that reviewer thought, I didn't feel that this detracted from it in any way. I also thought that it relied pretty heavily on emotions, and some of them are depicted so well it's scary. I know the feeling - the sheer horror - of trying to imagine life, a long life full of long days, without the person you love. Nicola's utter despair was completely recognizable for me - she is a character I could empathise with. Granted, it may not be a very deep-probing novel, the characters may not be drawn in too much detail, but it is a novel that manages to convey certain awful feelings, and portray some dreary situations, in a compassionate and realistic way. And that is no minor achievement.
Frighteningly true to life....: The Essence of the Thing captured the modern relationship between a man and a woman. It explored what happened as the relationship disintegrated, leaving one partner in shocked disbelief and emotional pain. What I loved about the book was that it showed so clearly the idiosyncrasies of the human personality and how the quality you think you love most about a person ends up being the very thing that drives you apart. It leaves you slightly unsettled and thinking. Read it.
Classy and Practical: I bought a set of 6 glasses as a gift for my daughter. I had a chance to put them to the test as we shared dinner recently at her house. They are definitely a bonus to a well-set table as the colors blend into the light and give a fresh clean look with simple water. I loved them all over again. Even my 8-yr-old grandson could handle them easily by the colorful stem. Good Choice!
Ritzy glasses!: These glasses are elegant, and even make me thirsty to look at them. They hold a lot and have just a slight tint. You will not be sorry when you hold one of these beauties in your hand. The glass is fine and feel good in your mouth, like a good wine glass does. Great for ice tea, beer and even margaritas and gin and tonic. Makes water look more appetizing. I have not broken any, even though they go in the dishwasher. Love them!
Great glasses!: I personally love the goblet style glasses, and always get compliments from my guests. These glasses match pretty much everything and are good quality (you know, not too thin glass-wise). The color is nice, they hold a lot, & they were well packaged- "recommended."
I love saucony's. Biased review: I have been a long time Saucony running shoes user since high school. Found this funky named brand from a Runners magazine.Very comfortable. I have a small but wide feet. And saucony's seem to fit me very well. This one is no excption. Also, my feet has a underpronate issue, so I need cushioned shoes to correct the issue. This one has plenty of cushion. It is pretty light, which is vital for long running and walking.Again, I am a bit biased, so take my review for a grain of salt. I gave my retired saucony (not this model, very old model) to my dad, who is very frugal. He said it is one of the most comfortable shoes he has worn. So there.
Returning Customer!: This is my second 8" NordicWare Micro Round. My other one lasted for years although the stopping mechanism broke 1/2 way through. The Micro Round still worked, you just had to let it run down. I purchased this one a year ago and it seems just as good as the first (stopping mechanism still working too). This time I did try the large version first but returned it because it is weight activated and lots of things are too light. I don't want to have to get a plate out for weight every time I use it. This one you just wind up and it starts unless you use the stopping feature. I don't even use that feature. I wind my up using the bottom of the microwave to push down against, don't overwind it and usually just let it wind down. You learn how many turns last how many minutes. It's a must have if your microwave dosen't already have a carousel!
HP L1812A Battery for my Digital Camera HP R707: Actually, there is nothing much to review except to say that the product arrived in a condition that I expected. It is just a rechargeable camera battery.
Off the Chart: Excellent follow-on to their prior CDs. Not my genre, but I can't stop listening to it. Money, Everybody, DJ, and La Raza are jamming, edgy and impossible to keep the volume down, so don't even try. Other songs like BamBam and Carta de Amor are solid with a distinctive hint of Panamanian "tipica" music. I saw the CD release concert in Miami and these guys are the real deal. Now they will find out Money Pa Que!
Fabulous !!!!!: Excellent DVD who present the legendary Mellotron.since the Sixties the Mellotron fascinated.The DVD is New and is arrived in Excellent condition.Nostalgic and Enchantig !!!!!
great biography: The most complete biography of our great warrior and leader of our people. Well written and very informative. The service and delivery were really good. I bought used library copy and it was in great shape, looked as if it had never been read.
Very Entertaining Office Desk Toy: I keep this on my desk at work and a lot of people come in and out of my office. Usually the first thing people do when sitting down is start raking the sand and arranging things. I added some Easter Island heads to mine, so there is some customization ability. I bought one for my boss for Boss' day as well, since he was always playing with it.When you play with the sand, it takes your mind off work and it has a stress relief property. The only slight down-side to this toy is that the sand can get out of the tray and make your desk a little gritty if not careful.
Sand Box for Indoors!: Love this little sandbox. Very relaxing to play in the sand while relaxing at home! Love the beach theme but comes in other themes too.
Clever Design! Delightful Book!: My 4-year-old daughter, who is fascinated with ballerinas, has enjoyed every Angelina book I have read to her. We were excited to find this latest story about her favorite dancing mouse. In the story, Angelina finds a large envelope containing two tickets to see Serena Silvertail perform with the Royal Ballet. But each time she asks a friend to attend with her, they have other plans! This cleverly designed book features page-sized envelopes containing actual tickets, letters, and postcards that children can pull out and read. My daughter's favorite is the large pull-out poster of the Cindermouse ballet. The only problem we have had is that my less-than-gentle 2.5-year-old daughter was also eager to enjoy this book. I've repaired a few envelopes with tape and I have to verify the pull-outs are still inside the flaps before reading the story again. Definitely recommended reading!
Revere 2 Qt. Steamer: This is a very useful product. However the brushed finish requires that you avoid using salt on the vegetables to avoid rusting of the interior. Even the rust remover recommended by Revere did not get rid of the rust permanently. Such brushed finishes are usally made with a steel brush and in the process some steel cannot avoid being "rubbed" into the stainless steel--where it rusts.
One of my favorite pieces in the kitchen !!!: I absolutely LOVE the way this steamer makes veggies just perfect!! No more messing with the collapsible inserts..... Whatever you're steaming never sits in water.Mine came as a set with the 2qt pot.... but if you already have the 2qt pot, that lid will fit the steamer insert just fine.I highly recommend!!!
Love It!: I have a folding basket steamer, but often I steam more than one vegetable per meal. I needed something else. I found this steamer at Amazon at Love It! My folding steamer works, but I like this better. It holds more and is very easy to clean.
Revere Ware is terrific: My steamer pan fits perfectly on my grandma's Revere Ware pan from the 1950's. Grandma's pan has been in steady use for 60 years (30+ years for her, 30+ years for me). I am very pleased with the steamer and Revere Ware in general.
2 Quart Steamer: This steamer fits perfectly on my Revereware pan. The handlemakes it so much easier to use and the size is perfect. I amable to steam a large amount of vegetables at once!
Best Steamer Ever: I bought this to replace the stainless steel collapsible steamers I had been using, which fell apart. Expecting the problem other Amazon reviews had noted with the over-glued label (which was accurate) I set the new steamer in a pan of hot water when it arrived and soaked it for a few hours. I then scraped off the very resistant label, and cleaned the remaining glue off with Bar Keepers Friend. I like this steamer much more than the previous type. I put the base pot of water on to boil while I prepare what I want to steam. Using this time saving step I do not find this steamer takes any longer to cook vegetables. I also enjoy being able to poor the hot vegetables out of a pot rather than handling an unstable collapsible utensil. I love it. It's a keeper.
Great book!: I loved this book. It's one of the very first erotic romances I ever read, and that shower scene still sticks with me to this day:-) Very highly recommended. I will say it would help to read the books in order. I read this one first and was confused for parts of the book. But still very good.
LOVED IT!!!: I have only recently started to read Ms. Schone and have enjoyed all of her books.(Own them all now)This book struck a real cord in me. Her telling of Gabriel's story is heart wrenching and touching beyond words. You can feel his pain in many of the scenes. It made me laugh and cry more then once. She made me understand what it would be like to be a man and to have such brutality foced on him. A woman can try to explain the emotion of rape on a woman, but on a man? She did a fabulous job in the emotion that was displayed and his reaction to Victoria's lessons of love. I truely LOVED this book and have read it 3 times because it only gets better. Reader beware it is graphic!But if you have ever read any of her other books then you would already know that. Please enjoy Gabriel's story. It is one that you won't soon forget!
Wonderful: I was a little apprehensive about reading this book after reading the reviews about it being as dark as the Lover. However the character Gabriel drew me to see if he could bury his past and be happy again. This is a wonderful book about the power of compassion, love and friendship. Although it is dark and sinister as the Lover, it provides a positive message. We all need to be touched and loved.
Amazing reading: Previous reviewers put it best but I'll try to contribute. This is without a doubt one of the best novels of any kind I've ever read in my life. If you're looking for something a level or two spicier than Harlequin, this book is not for you. This book is so much more. Unlike any 'standard' romance, the women in this book, Victoria and Anne, display a level of compassion, honesty, and understanding not common to the genre at all. And the relationship between Gabriel and Michael is the hottest, most compelling, and most intriguing part of the entire novel. You ache for these two by the last chapter.The author skillfully avoids easy stereotypes and categorizing by displaying the entire emotional depth and range of her characters. I love the way this book explores love and desire in all its forms. It sets a standard for what this type of novel can be for mature, sophisticated readers.
compelling: I had recently bought four of Enrique's albums ("Enrique Iglesias", "Vivir", "Cosas Del Amor" and "Version En Italiano") via amazon.com, because they are unavailable in the U.K. - I've been a fan since his U.K. singles, "Bailamos" and "Rhythm Divine" and U.K. Debut album, "Enrique" came out this year in 1999. Everything he has recorded , so far, has been compelling and easy to listen to (I don't understand Spanish, but I understand what he is passionately singing about. The music and his vocal approach is very promising). It's hard for me to pick a favourite C.D. amongst his non-English speaking albums, but I've written this review with the "Vivir" album, because I liked his rendition of "Solo En Ti", which I instantly recognized as the old, U.K. hit by Yazoo (Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet), "Only You". Enrique's work is fresh and quite innovative for latin American music - may he continue to shine !
EXELENTE el mejor trabajo de enrique: las canciones estan llenas de pasion, de amor y mucho mas, se nota que personas tan especiales como Enrique hay pocas en el mundo.Lo amo con la mayor de las locuras, pero independientemente de eso el disco es un muy buen material discografico
ENRIQUE'S SECOND / MAKES U VIVIR LOVE...: Enrique's second cd is mostly pop ballads which go good with his type of voice. The song that stands out and is my fave in this cd is #6 Miente. It has some roller coaster arpeggios for background while he sings. Great cd if ur in love or wanting to hook up with some hot girl. I would say the last song, Revolucion, is the worst on the cd for it's senseless lyrics and funky drum rolls in the middle of the phrases. This cd is good to listen when u want to think about ur girlfriend/boyfriend. Good sophomore cd for an artist that has an oustanding career.
Tan dulce, romantico y apasionado!: Although my favorite album is his latest version in English, this one is great. I love it because it shows his tremendous talent as a songwriter; he has quite a heart. (Obviously, I've never met him, but can you imagine being spoken to the way he writes and sings? Dios mio!) I understand Spanish, but even if you don't - it makes no difference. Believe me, you will feel it in his voice.My two favorite ballads are Enamorado Por Primera Vez and Tu Vacio. But, I LOVE Miente - because it's a bit of a departure from the usual ballad and because of the way he just BEGS you to lie, baby, lie! Todo lo que dices...
No Hay Otro Disco Que Se Iguale Al Disco De Enrique!: Este disco es uno de los mejores que yo e escuchado!! No se lo vayan a perder! Si tienen la oportunidad de ver a Enrique en concierto, haganlo, porque no quedaran desepcionados! Enrique: tus discos son maravillosos, tu caracter es estupendo, y tu concierto en Lubbock, Texas me dejo recontra encantada! Te deseo toda la suerte del mundo!! Que Dios te bendiga en tu carrera! Tal vez un dia puedamos hablar cara a cara!
This is the BEST CD: Enrique Iglesias has a beautiful voice. This CD contains some of his best songs. There are upbeat songs, and slower songs. Everyone should own this CD. If you have a chance to see him in concert, you really should.

Mentor's Brickmason Review: I have been laying brick, and doing work in the general construction field for over 40 years... most of the "torpedo" levels have a very limited field of view of the level vial, and as such, are very hard to read ... especially when they get dirty... The Stabilla goes beyond all of that with easy to read vials, and easy to clean vials... (I have found that a spraying with some good cooking oil will release most of the mortar.... ) and make your tool useable for a longer time... All in all I rate this level at the top end for a Torpedo type level...... Mentor
The Best!: Stabila makes world class levels. I have worked with this level and really enjoy how simple it is to use. It is compact and very accurate. Out of all the other brands of levels out there this will be the only level that I will have to buy. If you want to keep it simple this is the level to get!
Very nice!: This Stabila replaced my old torpedo level, and I'm very happy with it. It is extremely accurate. The adjustable vial is a nice touch too.
Fantastic Gift!: I bought this pendant for my daughter-in-law, as a Christmas gift. She loves dragons, and her birthday is in July, so the red stone was ideal for her too. She loved it! Thanks for the great idea, Amazon, it's a beautiful piece.
Hoover: I have only had this 2 weeks but am very happy with it so far. It picks up everything and the charge lasts. Mounts on the wall easily.
Hoover hand held vacuum: Good vacuum. Works well. I replaced an older Black & Decker unit of which I couldnt find a replacement and the Hoover is just as good.
Rechargeable Hand Wet/Dry Vac very useful with PETS: We've had several different similar units in the past, one with detergent dispenser. This one works fine with one spray bottle for detergent and one for rinse water, and the Hoover go-anywhere rechargeable hand vac. Simple, functional, fairly powerful, runs long time on one charge. I would like an attached brush to help loosen dried soil more quickly.
Handy pick up: I purchased this to keep on hand next to my paper shredder for all those scrapes that get away. Good for that and that is all I needed it for. Great for those little quick pick-ups.
Awesome product for those small messes: This is a great vacuum cleaner for all of those small messes that happen in the kitchen, the car, or anywhere else around the house. It is very effective at cleaning up heavy particles such as small rocks as well as odd shaped items like tooth picks. The vacuum also does great at cleaning up liquid messes.Cleaning is very easy and all the parts can be quickly disassembled for cleaning.
Hand held vacuum: So far this hand vacuuum works really great. I like it much better than the previous one I had that had a cord. This one I can take to my car and all over the house without trying to figure out where to plug it in. I wasn't sure I would like having to hold the power button down, but it saves the limited time you have before the battery dies. Haven't used the wet feature yet, but I'm sure it will come in very handy. I highly recommend the vacuum.
Hand Vacuum: It seems to be a good hand vac except for the lack of small attachments that allows for vacuuming in small spaces.
works better than i thought!: other than the small dirt chamber (expected) this unit is great. well constructed. convenient mounting & charging station. call me crazy but I want to purchase another one so I have one on each floor of my house.
Quick clean ups: I purchased one of these for myself several years ago... so when my father said he needed a little hand vac appliance I purchased him the same brand. It is easy to use and easy to clean. It even picks up pet hair (as long as it is not tangled in anything). Great little hand vac.
Works like a charm: This is my second one. My first one worked really really well until I couldn't find the charger and it went without charge forever and battery died. I love this one and the force that it works with. I have had another small vacuum in the past and I hated it as it would hardly even work for 1 minute which it takes to clear the mess from the small kitchen floor. I had to keep it in the charging for ever but Hoover vacuum does the job perfectly and every time. In my case it goes without charging for about a week sometimes and still works good. I highly recommend it. I even bought it for my parents and they love it too.
Grrreat: Best and most powerful handheld I've ever owned. Only negative I have is that you have to hold the switch for continuous operation
Great Hand Vac for the Price!: I needed a cordless hand vac for the stairs, and this one works great. It picks up all the big fuzzes and small rocks that get tracked in, and it even handles spills in the kitchen! It may not be the very most powerful hand vac, but for the price and quality, it cannot be beat.Hoover S1120 Hand Held Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum Cleaner(The reviewer was compensated for posting this review. However, the opinion stated in the review is that of the reviewer and the reviewer alone. Further, the reviewer independently selected this product to review and has no affiliation with the product maker/distributor, Amazon or the review requester.)
effective and handy: comes in handy on a regular basis, especially with a 1 year old running around. powerful enough for everyday spills and holds charge for a long time. I definitely recommend
Best hand held vacuum for a quick clean!: My kids know I got them with this one! Now I can handle all the crumbs that never seemed to stop falling off the dining table and finding their way to my carpet. I did my regular steam cleaning of my carpet with my bigger Hoover before the holidays and this smaller Hoover S1120 has been helping it to stay clean. It picks up ALL the crumbs even the ones on the table! The spills are not spared either. I love this baby Hoover just like I do the bigger Hoover steam cleaner.This Hoover hand held vacuum is light weight just as I wanted it. The noise is low too, so that I can use it even when my little one has fallen asleep on her high chair, without waking her up.This is a great buy if you want your bigger cleaning job to last.
Sturdy Little Sucka: I'm surprised at the high build quality of this sucka. Noisy though. Easily glides in and out of the recharger. Impressive tolerances. A very good value.
My Wife Is Happy, So I Am Happy: My wife had an old model Hoover Hand Vac for about 8 years. It finally died and I tried to replace it with the old model. I couldn't find it so I bought a Black&Decker. My wife hated it! Too big and too noisy. I ordered the Hoover S1120. It didn't have a crevice tool or other attachments, but the S1120 was close enough to the old one to make her happy.
Just what I have been looking for: I have needed this product since my old one bit the dust and it works fine and fits right where my old one hung in a place that is within easy reach.
Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum: Love this little Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum. So conventenient for all those little spills. Really comes in handy with small children.. when there seem to always be some kind of mishap.
A good handheld vacuum cleaner for the money.: This appliance is a good vaue for the money. It works well for small jobs around the house and when we clean our vehicles.
Great little Vacuum: I reviewed this product after purchasing it and gave it an Failing grade. I recently found the reason this vacuum wasn't holding a charge. I was told by Hoover Customer Service that I needed a new charging unit that it plugs into. This also was NOT the cause. The holder that it sits in and hangs on the wall was the culprit. The part of the charger that plugs into the vacuum was not going up into the unit far enough to charge it properly. A little alteration to the plastic wall holder did the job. I enlarged the hole that allowed the charger plug to sit higher in the frame and now it charges just fine. Looks like others would have noticed the same reason it was not working like it should. I'm going to call Hoover Customer Service and fill them in. NOW the vacuum works just the way I hoped it would when I purchased it. GREAT!!!
Not bad for the price: I have had good experience with Hoover vacuum cleaners and when my Dustbuster finally bit the dust, so to speak, I searched many many items looking for a suitable replacement. Enter the Hoover s1120 Hand Held Vacuum.It has good power, and seems to hold a charge pretty well. Emptying the dust cup is not too difficult once you get the hang of it, and its pretty light and easy to hold while you do stairs.I only gave it four stars because it has three flaws, which I can live with:1) You have to hold down the power button THE ENTIRE TIME you run it, which can cause your finger to get sore when doing a larger cleaning job2) The end where the dirt gets sucked in has only a small opening for the dust, which tends to clog up frequently, especially when cleaning pet hair3) It seems to be kind of loudOther than that I see no problems with this hand vac and would recommend it to anyone who can see past those flaws.
Works well if it's charged: At first I hated this thing because the unit was not clicking into the charger all the way (this I didn't know) and it would run for about 10 seconds and quit. I had it mounted behind the fridge (don't ask why) and it was a reach, to say the least. So I'm not sure if it was the design of the charger or the awkward location I put it in, causing the charging problem. Suffice it to say I would have liked an LED indicator light to let me know if it was charging. Other than that, it works well and I'm happy with it.
good product: I like this dust buster it does what I expected and is easy to clean we use it daily it works very well
Handy and powerful tool: a battery operated handheld vacuum is just about a necessity in our house and this one fills the bill. I don't think I would use the wet pickup feature but for dry spills and the everyday needs this works well. It hangs in the laundry room and is used every time we clean the drier filter along with cleaning up everything else that hits the floor in the course of a day. A good tool at a decent price, I hope it has a long battery life. 5 stars if someone said it had easily replaced batteries.
Awesome Vaccum cleaner for ur car and house for a cheap price: i doubted first how it works due to the price tag it showed but after getting it blowed away all the heads whoever seen this little vaccum cleaner. its perfectly good for car and ur little messup in ur house.I give 100% satisfaction with this product. i hope many more new products like this should come up for customers
Powerful: I did a lot of research for a new Hand Vacuum when our present one was losing power. I kept coming back to the Hoover S1120 as it seemed to meet our needs. Amazon had the best price and we are really pleased with it. Our only negative is it's noisy. However, it has poweful suction!
Good for picking up small stuff from the floor: I use this for picking up crumbs, and other small stuff from the floor. Very adequate vacuum power. Cleaning of vacuum dirt reservoir and filter are easy. No problems. I have not yet used the wet function. Overall 5 stars. I have used the wet function . It performed very well. I think the design for the small hole and in the middle is made so the dirt and especially the wet stuff does not come out when the gadget is hung with the hole down on the charger. Good design.
Works Great but only for about 3 years.: This is a super quick picker upper. Really great for emergency liquid spills, and sucking up dust bunnies. This is the second one I have purchased. After 3 years the charge did not last and gradually the whole thing went kaput. I looked to get a different model but after reading all the reviews, this was still the best around in its price range. It's powerful, compact and great for my studio apt.
Hand Vacuum bought at Amazon: So far so good. Handy vacuum but be sure to read directions, which are clear and specific before cleaning. So far I have used this vacuum for detailing my car. It's useful because it's battery driven (although you can plug in and recharge or use the wall gadget enclosed which keeps it recharged.
Good little vacuum, but so loud!: The suction is great, I love the wet/dry options, but it's sooo loud!! It has this high pitched chain saw sound to it. I wanted it to spot vacuum all the cat fur that fluffs around my house... and it works well for that, but it scares my baby (whereas the regular vacuum does not).Other than that, it works great!
Get's the Job Done Conviently: The product is what I expected and was a great price. It comes with a wall mount... awesome... There's no cord to drag around, it is always charging while plugged in and on the doc. It is easy to empty and light weight. The item is very loud for such a little unit, the coloring is a bit cheezy; I'd much rather it a neutral color so it doesn't stand out as much on my wall... not the biggest deal. I like how the nozzle is shaped, I can push it up against furniture and walls because it has an angle. It sometimes does leave a little crumbs, lint, dirt behind and that is why I gave this a four star rating.
GREAT PRODUCT: Works awesome with wet/dry. I am a ranch wife and full time school teacher and just love this little vacuum. I can't believe how east it makes cleaning things up. With 2 little boys at home and dogs and ranch traffic this is an amazing little machine and really saves me a ton of time. GREAT ITEM!!!
Works excellent: it picks up everything! I mainly use it to pick up hairs in the bathroom and it is working very great! very satisfied with the product!
Strong suction: The hand vac is well made and has strong suction. There are however no accessories so it is not as flexible as my older Black & Decker which died.
Hoover S1120 Hand Held Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum Cleaner: Bought this a few month ago. Works great, keeps the charge for a long period of time not like other vacume cleaner I had.My only complaint is the noise, and filter cleaning. It is a bit of a hassel to get the filter out and clean it, I have the habbit of cleaning the filter after each use.
Excellent product.: The Hoover is much more powerful and a charge lasts longer than the Dirt Devil Scorpion that preceded it. The only improvement that I can suggest is a narrow inlet extension such as the Scorpion had. Overall: an excellent value for the money.
Good vacuum, look no further: Does the job and price was fair. I would buy it again. It shipped reasonable fast so thats a plus
Hoover S1120: Good quality,..great for steps and car. Also had good suction which you do not normally find with the other dustbusters.
good value in a hand vac: I'm very pleased with this hand vac that I use mainly to pick up stray litter (two cats) and crumbs from kitchen floor and counter. Only drawback that I wish I had known is that you must hold the on switch on. You can't just switch it on.
Not bad for the price, but more power would be better: I own one of these, and also a Black & Decker. The Hoover one is perfectly usable. I use it mainly for cleaning up cat litter, dried cat food, etc. It is pretty good for this task. It does get the stuff up, and it charges enough to do this task to completion, so I'm fairly satisfied. I will say though that I prefer the Black and Decker to this one for two reasons:1. The Black and Decker has more power, thus I spend less time going over and over the spot (since it sucks up more the first time).2. The Black and Decker is easier to clean out. With the Black and Decker, you just pop the top off and pour the sand or whatever into the trash. With the Hoover, it takes a few more steps (usually have to remove the filter).Overall though, This little handivac is a good unit and perfectly usable.
Terrific wet/dry vacuum: I had this handheld vac for a few years and used it for wet and dry cleanup. It was always excellent. I dropped it and broke it (my fault) and ordered another because nothing else comes close to what it does for the price. I even used this for picking up water when my water heater flooded my dining room. Yes, it worked under those conditions. Of course, it didn't prevent water damage but I used it over and over to vacuum large amounts of water and it kept on working. I highly recommend this product.
Great for clean up after the kids: This is a great hand vac for cleaning up the crumbs after the kids are done eating. It's easy to clean with it's washable filter and has good suction. My only gripes are that the opening is a little small and a skittle will not fit, but a cheerio will. Putting the unit back together after a cleaning takes a little force.
GREAT BUY!: I wanted a small cordless vacuum that I could use to clean out my car and I was very impressed with this small vac right away! It has great suction and is easy to clean out without getting what you picked up everywhere. I have not used it on liquids so not sure how great that aspect is. But i would recommend this if you want a small easy to use cordless vacuum
This sucks: I love this little vacuum. It's light and strong and picks up even the gritty, dog hairy dirt. Comes with a wall charger so it's always ready to go. Very convenient and easy to use. I haven't cleaned up anything wet yet but I'm very pleased with its dry performance.
Very handy and awesome vacuum: This vacuum makes cleaning very easy...don't have to worry about wet surfaces in the kitchen and stuff since it is a wet/dry vacuumSuction is pretty OK considering its size and battery lasts a good 10+ mins even after several months of constant use...that's pretty impressive!Since it is a wet/dry vacuum, it is a good idea to clean the dirt holder every now and then (especially if there's higher usage on wet surfaces).The holder comes apart pretty easily and can be cleaned pretty easily (I use a bottle cleaner brush)
It has everything: You can get this book at your local library so if your interested check it out. It has everything from henna hair coloring to a dogwood toothbrush. I just want to buy the book and try every recipe out of the book after I seen it and looked it over in the library. I highly reccomend this book to anyone!
Lucid: From the changes in assumptions of economists to the conception of today's miltary-industrial complex, Alan Brinkley explains in this one volume clearly and concisely what so many other authors of multi-volume tomes try but never quite put their thumb on.
Why the High Middle Ages are called the Age of Faith: This is an excellent resource material providing source documents for anyone interested in knowing what all the fuss was about. However, do take the editorials with a grain or two of salt. For example, two documents attributed to the Cathars (a vindication of their beliefs and another concerning the Lord's Prayer) do not proove they were Manachians, or dualists of any type, although Wakefield and Evans take several pages to try to tell us why they were. The fact that these documents have very little references from Old Testament scriptures, or none at all, means only that the Old Testament was not relavent to these two subjects. Heresies of the High Middle Ages is a most important book for any one interested in the "age of faith."
Absolutely Hilarious!: Absolutely hilarious.For example, from "Appendix B: Sample Questionnaire for Ghosts"Are you frequently tired, weak or cold?Have you ever walked through a wall by accident or felt invisible? Does this seem strange to you?What do you like least about being a ghost?. . . and for those spirits unaware of their state of existence . . .I believe that you are a ghost. How does that make you feel?Can you prove that you are alive?Priceless.
Great book by true baseball fan: I met Steve when he came to Texas for the A's vs. Rangers series a few years back and I was working in the radio booth. I was impressed by his baseball knowledge and I so I bought the book. The book is a masterpiece and you got to get it if you are a Giants fan! I a Texas Rangers fan and loved it! Good stuff!
Awesome!!: This is a beautiful book. Well put together. It came with a CD that had some drama to it so my 6yo and 3yo at the time really liked it.
An Amazing Book: I am so impressed with this book. It starts with beautiful pictures on really nice paper. The book is very well written and brings you into the time of Noah. The author has obviously spent a lot of time pondering this time period and brings you along with him to see what life may have been like for Noah, his family and those around hime. My kids loved the book and ask to have it read to them again and again.
wonderful memory foam: I have purchased non memory foam leg spacers and this one is an awesome product. It has lasted quite some time
My wife swears by it.: After several years of hip discomfort and countless sleepless nights, I purchasexd this for her and she now sleeps like a baby.
Leg pillow: I didn't realize that it had an elastic band to hold it to one leg.After using it for awhile, I understand the need for the band, butit comes lose sometimes and those velcro hooks are uncomfortable.A single round pillow without the elastic would work better for me.Otherwise, the pillow is fine and I will continue to use it.
