I have a variety of Class 6 Transcend cards as well as a dozen or so from other companies. It’s interesting the actual speeds of Transcend’s Class-6 cards vary widely. For example, I have two identical 8 GB Class 6 cards that were purchased about 6 months apart. The older one benchmarks (using ATTO-DISK the same software used in some professional reviews) about 50% faster than the newer one.

This 16 GB card is slower than both of my Transcend 8 GB cards. In fact it’s the slowest Class 6 card I have period. Most Class 6 cards test in the 10MB/sec – 15MB/sec range. This card only manages around 9MB/sec. The spec calls for a minimum of 6MB/sec so it still is acceptable. If you’re interested, check my review of the SanDisk Extreme Class 6. It’s literally more than 3 times faster than this card (but also costs significantly more).

It’s also worth noting the SanDisk Ultra Class 4 cards far outperform this card. But SanDisk is sort of in a class by themselves.

The good news is if you’re just shooting JPG still pics, or anything less than full 1080HD video, this card is probably fast enough. Only shooting HD Video at the highest quality settings on a higher end camera, or shooting long bursts of RAW images on a DSLR, are likely to tax this card.

I’ve also had a Transcend 2 GB card fail and I lost everything on it. While any card can fail, I’ve not had any problems with SanDisk or Kingston despite using those brands more heavily. There are lots of other reports of people having problems with Transcend cards as well (although some of those are likely from trying to use a card that was too slow for their application). So you have to balance the lower price with the possiblity you might lose everything on the card and the slower performance.

Finally, beware everything you put this card in needs to be SDHC compatible. If your PC, device or reader is more than a few years old, it might not be. I know people who filled up their new SDHC card with irreplaceable pics and video,

My 16 year old daughter loves the product, and her parents enjoy it as well. Just kind of bulky and we have storage issues.

Used on my Akita with great success. Definitely did a magnificent job on my dog’s heavy undercoat. It was quick and easy to use, and our dog did not mind being “brushed”. A definite must for all shedding breeds. Price is great too!

This is the second Hoover Tempo vacuum that we have purchased and the first is still running strong. The main reason for purchasing was because of the Tempo’s ability to pick up dog hair. It does a great job at this even after many years of use. Our old Hoover Tempo still does a great job cleaning the carpets and tile. The vacuum comes with hand nozzle and the standard attachments. Belt life is fairly standard with other vacuums that we have owned and durability is quite good for being mostly hard plastic. On our older Tempo, we have replaced the brush roller and something to do with the surface height adjusting. I believe one or both of these repairs were covered on the warranty. The only addition we have had to add to the vacuum was a 12 foot extension cord. Easy to store and easy to use makes this a great buy in a vacuum.
