The Wii is a lot of fun. But, here, five months after purchase, I have to send it in for repair. Nintendo tells me the “card reader” is likely shot. It will not read any disc. I tried their cleaning kit, to no avail. Five months of use. My old Gamecube lasted six years, sometimes being left on 24 hours a day for weeks. My Wii, in comparison, was babied, never played more than a few hours. I will say that Nintendo’s customer service seems quite good, and they’re repairing it free. Still, a month without a game console is not fun. I thought, being Nintendo, the Wii would be ultra reliable, but Nintendo tells me that mine is a common problem.

I bought two of these hoping to organize the garage. I was surprised initially at the small size of the box when it arrived but after about 15 minutes I had both assembled and was impressed with the product. They are light and easy to disassemble if needed. I take them on our camping trips to the lake and the mountains. It is a great way to keep the annoying sight of piled up bicycles out of your camp sites. I plan on purchasing one for my parent’s home also.

Live Like A Fruit Fly, a book i recently found on amazon, is far more practical.

Don’t stop with with this book- complete the CWG series. Neale Donald Walsch eloquently describes what life is really about. I am not religious, but I can see how people who are would be defended. Neale just addresses the obvious flaws in many practices but never defaces God. Open your mind, and enjoy!

I bought a set of these for my commuter since they were cheap, expecting to get something that rattled and jiggled like no other before disintegrating. However, once I received them I was gladly proven wrong.
Installation: Very easy and quick to install. I put them on a touring/commuting style frame with 700×35 tires. They were very easy to get aligned and attached.
Appearance: These fenders look sharp and of quality. I’ve received many compliments on how good my bike looks. I only wish they sold a silver set at this price.
Performance: It’s been raining/snowing here for several weeks and these fenders have saved my clothing time and time again. The snow/ice will cake up inside of them, but a quick shake and it falls out. They haven’t come loose at all, and several blocks of my commute are on brick roads which are very bumpy. Still no rattling. They also fit under my rear rack with plenty of clearance.
Durability: While getting this bike down from it’s rack I smacked the rear fender against the wall quite hard. The fender bounced right back to shape and was perfectly fine. I imagine that if you really hit something hard the mounting hardware might bend, but the plastic more than likely won’t crack.
Overall, you can’t beat these fenders, especially for the price. I purchased a second pair for my trail bike, and will most likely purchase more for other bikes. The only drawback of these fenders is that they only come in 1 color, but I can live with that considering how good these are.

Book was actually in better condition than what I thought, I liked the quality and fast shipping.

Having been raised in the south in the 50’s and 60’s (and then having lived in Mississippi for many of my adult years) I could really relate to this story. The characters are wonderful, and Stockett grabs your attention on the first page and holds it till the last line. It will make you laugh out loud and then cry! My husband and my two children loved it too. I’m passing it around to everyone now!

Disappointed with the vacuum performance. The belt has been broken twice in six month. I have a high pile carpet and it does not do a very good job to cleaning it deep. Also, bare floor cleaning just does not work. It just keeps on throwing stuff at the back of the vacuum (you can feel it if you vacuum with bare feet). Also, yesterday it started smelling of burned rubber with some smoke coming out of it. Called the customer service, and they won’t replace it. They advised me to take it to one of the warranty repair center – the nearest one is 20 miles away

I found this book incredibly dull. I gave it two stars instead of one because even though it is very dull to read I get what Salinger was trying to do. This is a book about a mentally disturbed boy as he would seriously write it as a long self indulgent inner monologue. If you want to read some good Salinger I recommend Franny and Zooey and most of Nine Stories. But avoid Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction it is even duller than Catcher in the Rye.

Must have gotten two Lemons. After reading the previous reviews, we decided to order two of these for our 4 and 5 year olds. They arrived promptly and were easy to assemble. Problem is… I followed the instructions precisely but when I attached them to our adult bikes, they were both slewed to one side. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get them to sit straight up and down. I changed them around from my bike to my wife’s but neither one worked.
What we wound up doing is sending them back and went to our local Bike Shop and bought 2 Trek trailers. They made sure the trailers fit and worked perfectly with our bikes.
The only saving grace was Amazon… There was absolutely no hassle with returning the merchandise, no questions asked. I have been a steady customer of Amazon for a number of years and this was the first time I had to return something. I wasn’t sure what would happen, but I was pleasantly suprised by the efficiency and quickness of the return process. My account was credited in no time. This type of service will keep me coming back and shopping with them for a long time. Beats driving to the Mall every time!
