It works great, good suction. The on/off switch is located on the body instead of the handle. This makes you reach down to stop, which is not good in tight spaces. With one hand holding the handle and the other holding the cord, you can suck up the wrong things easily. The cord does not go up high on the handle, it is high on the body so you have to hold in one hand to keep it out of the way. You have to assemble the handle to the body when it arrives. No big deal, but you can tell that Hoover is saving a few bucks on assembly and shipping size which results in a inconvenient switch and cord. It is light weight and handles well. I got a great price on Amazon.com.

Having been an Honors English student in high school, lo, those many years ago, this was on our recommended reading list. I didn’t like Holden Caulfield then. Now, the father of a daughter approaching her teenage years, I like him even less.

I reread the book recently, and the question is the same now as was it twenty five years ago: “This is classic literature?”

While relatively well written, this story has been done to death since time immemorial. And, frankly, promulgates the self absorbed teenage stereotype.

Holden Caulfield is NOT a stereotypical teenager.

Holden Caulfield IS a hypocrite. He IS a narcissist. He IS paranoid. He IS a cynic without the true experience in life to jade him. In short, he is a poseur desparately seeking some self importance to which he is far from entitled.

Although certainly alienated, and just as certainly an intelligent underachiever, he is, at root, a spoiled brat in dire need of having his backside tanned.

While there may be some merit to the idea that there are no bad children, only bad parents, young Master Caulfield bears the greatest responsibility for his situation. His willfully shallow character prevents him from seeing anyone or anything outside himself.

No, this is not “classic literature”. It is not even an accurate portrayal of teenage angst and alienation. It is the story of a puling spoiled rich kid who doesn’t get life his way.

Well, welcome to the world, Young Man, because that’s just the way things are.

I recently read the Catcher in the Rye, and I didn’t think it was all that great. I found it a bit boring actually. I couldn’t read the last 3 or 4 pages of chapter 25 because I got so tired of main characters whinning. It also seemed very likely that he had bipolar disorder.

The reason why I think I was able to keep reading the book up until the end is because I can kind of identify with Holden. Aside from that, Nothing.

It was basically a book where nothing happened and I was very disappointed with the way it ended.

MS Office has changed the headers for the program making it easier to locate tools and functions. Does take some getting used to but still has superior functionality for office productivity software.

This item has worked very well for me in a half-dozen different vehicles. Very convenient and secure.

My son tried mine, loved it, and suggested that it would make a great Christmas gift – for him. I took the hint. Now he loves his own, and I don’t have to lend him mine anymore.

Unlike mine, his came in the “Frustration-Free Packaging.” What a pleasure not to have to fight through an almost impenetrable plastic cocoon – it came in a simple box.

Recommended without hesitation.

So it doesn’t have the best tools and the beater brush never stops but this does a great job at vacuuming. For the price I don’t think it can be beat. I vacuum a lot and was so impressed by its performance I bought another one for a friend.
