Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-05-13 Summary: THIS ITEM SO FAR IS NOT VOICE RECOGNIZABLE ... I am having a difficult time getting this product to recognize my voice. The concept would be a 5 star but I could not give it that because it does not understand anything that I say unless I repeat it several times. I have followed the directions speaking clearly, having friends do the same, but so far nothing has helped. I purchased two of these planning to give one as a Christmas present. Hopefully with more practice I can get it up and working. If so I will write another review and wll indicate how I finally got ...more

[2] ... Review | This nifty organizer from SmartShopper eliminates the need to dig up a pad of paper and a pencil and try to remember what you need when you want to make a shopping list.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-29 Summary: strong suction! ... I really like this vacuum...some complained of a too small bag but I had used it quite a bit before it told me to change the bag...and then the bag was PACKED full. Sometimes with the big wheels, it is not as easy to manipulate in a circle...but you learn how IT wants to go! Love the light weight and the ability to get it out of the way. Would I buy it again...yes! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-29 Summary: love this vacuum in a house of pets! ... The reviews we read were right on; we have a black lab and 2 cats, all of whom shed and bring in dirt. We filled up a bag on the first vacuum with this Electrolux, and are happy with its performance and manageability. It folds up very small so as to be unobtrusive and is easy to use. Wish we'd discovered this unit prior to buying other vacuums that do not come close in performance. At $99- this was a great deal! ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: good value ... The velcro attachment to the closet bar is very strong. The shelf dividers do tend to sag into each other a little if you fill each shelf. That makes pulling things out a little difficult. But it's a great organizer, decently sturdy, and a good product for the money. This is definitely what I expected it to be. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: Works perfectly in my closet ... i bought two of these to help control all the t-shirts and socks that were everywhere in our closet. They work perfectly! Out of the package, just hang and load 'em up. Much cheaper than the plastic drawer carts that I had been looking at. Now I can easily find socks, tank tops, and jammies without having to hang them all up. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-12 Summary: Loves food ... I enjoyed this book so much. Would love to spend a week traveling and eating in Paris with the author, would be my dream vacation! Love food and love to cook, really enjoyed her style of writing. While reading this on a train, a fellow passenger asked to see it, probably because I was smiling at some of her stories.

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | When Molly Wizenberg's father died of cancer, everyone told her to go easy on herself, to hold off on making any major decisions for a while.

So she went to Paris, a city that held vivid memories of a childhood trip with her father, of early morning walks on the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter and the taste of her first...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-16 Summary: Fun, and Challenging. ... I bought this game as a Christmas present for my spouse. She is a huge fan of the show and was looking forward to playing the game. Playing in one player mode is a bit mundane however, we have found that playing in multi-player cooperative mode is very entertaining. We both love the fact that we get to play as a team and work to achieve a perfect score for Chef Ramsey. We very much recommend this game for couples.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-05-11 Summary: Great tool to work with. ... HGTV Home and Landscape I tried the software for HGTV Home and Landscape (Platinum Suite) and I am very impressed with it. I found the software pretty easy to use, no need of design experience, because I don't have any, and I was able to navigate with a couple bumps at first, but with basic to medium computer knowledge anyone can use this software and obtain great results. What I like the most in this software is that it is very detail oriented in order to create your computer design just like the real project. This ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-03 Summary: Takes Some Time, But The Results Are Worth It! ... There's a lot to this software and I haven't used most of the features yet.
