I like this pedometer, it was easy to set up and it’s easy to use. I like how I can just put it in my pocket and not have to clip it on my belt. It helps keep me on track with my exercise.

Nice scale but sometimes I get a weight of 4lbs and then some error code. Can’t find the manual so not sure what it means. Gets a little annoying to have to wait for it to reset before stepping on again. Other than that I really like it. Seems well made and the screen is large and easy to read. Lights up blue which I think is cool.

My husband is a review researcher to the ends of the earth on everything we buy that’s over the $30 mark. When we bought this vacuum (2 years ago on Amazon) his goal was to find the absolute best for the absolute best price. We came up with the Hoover Widepath Tempo. It’s blue and its not stylish like the Dyson or any other flashy models but it is an AWESOME vacuum! We have 2 dogs who shed moderately and it works just like the reviews say. It’s a very powerful little vacuum! It shows consistent power across the whole house. It takes me about 45-60 mins to vacuum all the rooms in our 3 story home and it seems to not loose suction at all. The only thing I would change if I were the designer of this model would be to add the feature of the retractable cord. I owned another vacuum that had that feature and thought I could never go without it again. But soon learned that the convenience of having a vacuum cleaner that ACTUALLY CLEANED totally overrides the convenience of not having to wrap up the cord after every use. Needless to say we are both are very pleased with this vacuum and would buy the exact same one if this one ever fails us. We are on our 2nd year with this one and it is still going like brand new! My husband is a carpet cleaner by trade so he knows his stuff. I’m glad I trusted his research! I would AND have recommended this vacuum to friends and am recommending this vacuum to you as well!

Excellent game of strategic planning, but quick too. My son got this as a birthday gift and we’ve had a lot of fun with 3 generations playing Connect 4 x 4 together. It is packaged nicely, you can discard the box as all the game pieces fit inside the game and the legs fold up. There are plastic slides/rails top and bottom that keep the pieces from falling out. The one on the bottom is also the release for the pieces when a game is over…kind of a little fun thing for kids as they slide the release rail and all of the pieces fall out in a pile. The self contained packaging makes it a great compact game to take on trips. The game can be broken by stepping on it, or forcing the legs for example, but is fairly well made by today’s standards.
Adding an extra layer keeps everyone on their toes weighing the possibilities. Its pretty easy to see the game pieces on both sides from a single sitting postion. Having double width blockers, in limited quantity (2 only) was also a stroke of genius. I disagree a bit with one review that following a weaker player provides a big advantage. The nature of the game, if you are playing w/ 3 or 4 players, is other players will chime in and alert you to possible mistakes that will allow someone to win. This is specifically allowed in the written rules, so it makes for a social game that almost all ages can play. The politicking comment was spot on. You may encourage a player to use their blocker to prevent somone from winning. They in turn might say, I’m using my single to block him here, YOU use YOUR blocker to block them there. Once in a while a player may have to decide who he is going to let win, as he has to decide which other player he is going to block, but that situation wasn’t the norm. Usually a player can block the next player who then blocks the following player.
Another nice twist that keeps things interesting is that the game and game strategy really changes with the number of players. Playing with 2 players is completely different than playing with 3 for example.
Overall a pleasant surprise in a nicely thought out package.
