Wait a second...!
This is not so much a review as a cautionary note.

I've done a lot of research on filters and the such since my son tested positive for exposure to lead.

Both of the reviews of this filter (I have this or a similar Honeywell which is great but I am not sure which model.) Anyway, both of these reviews mention vacuuming the filter(s) to extend the useful life of the item. IF you are using a HEPA filtered vacuum, and only if you are using a HEPA filtered vacuum, should you think of this. But the cost of these filters is not so great that this makes much sense.

If you are not using a HEPA filtered vaccum, than all you are doing is sucking the stuff you don't want to breath out of the filter (which is what you bought the machine to do in the first place) and blowing it back into the air (which is what you boght the machine to prevent.)

Basically, the few bucks you save is not worth the risk.

just as good as any other HEPA filter
HEPA filters were developed by the US Atomic energy commision to remove radio active particles from a contaminated environment. So they are more than sufficient for removing dust, mold spores, cockroach feces and dust mites which have been known to cause respiratory problems such as asthma.

Don't go by the light on the your Honeywell unit to tell when it's time to change the filter because the manufacturer wants you to change it as frequently as possible. When you find that the flow of air has slowed down and dust in the vicinity of the unit tends to collect more, then it's time to change the air filter. Also, vacuuming the outside of the filter may prolong the life. I vacuumed my HEPA and found that there was an increase in air flow afterwards and less dust collecting around the unit.

Time to Change the HEPA Filter on Your Air Cleaner?
Before ordering a replacement HEPA filter for your Honeywell (or other brand) Air Cleaner, be sure to check the model number on the unit. This filter is for the smaller round unit (Model 10500) and for the smaller of the two upright units with handles (Model 17000). I replace my HEPA filter every year because I am very allergic to cigarette smoke, pollens, dust, molds, and other allergens and irritants. Also, this HEPA filter has pre-filters that wrap around it, so you may want to order a box of those, too. The pre-filters should be changed every 3 months, but I check them more often and vacuum off any accumulated pet hair. ... Read more

Editorial Review

When babies have respiratory or nasal congestion, vaporizerscan help alleviate discomfort by adding soothing moisture into the dryindoor air of a bedroom. This vaporizer's 2-gallon capacity allows itto produce steam for approximately 24 to 32 hours. (It automaticallystops producing steam when the water level goes below .75 inch.) Atester found that the steam was sluggish until a few pinches of saltwere added to the water (a trick suggested by the manufacturer). Theelectrical heating unit detaches from the water holder, making cleanupeasy--an important daily chore for preventing mineral buildup andstains. Comes with a built-in nightlight and a small tray for holdingvaporizer medications.

Safety note: Once children can get out of bed on their own bedroomvaporizers can become hazardous, as they produce hot steam that cancause serious burns if the unit is knocked over. Be sure to keep cordand vaporizer far from baby's reach. --Hannah Reynolds ... Read more

A best buy
This vaporizer is easy to clean and effectively humidifies the air in my baby's standard size 10' x 10' bedroom. It is quiet and the nightlight is a great feature to help sleepy parents from bumping into it. However, I returned this 2-gallon version and purchased the 1.5-gallon version which was less wieldy and more than sufficed. But the 2-gallon vaporizer has a handle which was very convenient. The only con is having to soak the heating unit in vinegar each week to clean out hard water deposits. But vinegar is much cheaper than buying special filters required by other vaporizers to prevent bacteria from building up.

Best out there
this is the best humidifier/vaproizer on the market.I have used it for both my children and my self when we have colds and it is the best.You just need to make sure you put it where your childrend can get at it.You don't let them play near the stove do you?Why wouldn't you be careful with this?

Buy a humidifier instead.
I bought this the first time my son had a cold.It doesn't work.The vaporizor is buy Vicks but uses Kaz inhalent, go figure.Even after buying the Kaz inhalent the thing barely puts of any steam and forget about smelling the inhalent.

DON'T BUY - TODDLER ENDED UP IN ER AFTER SCALDING
We own the one just like this without the night light - I sent my 2 year old to her room.I had only been using it at night when she was in her crib - but since she was stuffy I started it early and forgot about it.I sent her to her room and she screamed....She had 2nd degree burns on her hand and we ended up in ER.I don't want anyone to go thru what we did....BUY A COOL AIR HUMIDIFER - Mine is going out in the trash & will be replaced with cool air. I could just imagine her spilling the water and being burned even worse.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our Dr. has recommended a cool humidifier as opposed to this warm air machine.The top of this humidifier gets VERY HOT and my little girl put her hand on it yesterday and got a 2nd degree burn.She screamed for an hour and her poor little hand is blistered.This humidifier is designed to sit on the floor of a room and it has a light on top of it so it is attractive to little ones--watch out!Shame on vicks for selling a product designed to be in the nursery that is this dangerous.It seems like a protective cover could have been added.Our Dr. said that a cool mist humidifier would provide the same benefits as this warm air one but there's no risk of your child getting burned.DO NOT BUY a warm air humidifier! ...

Monster Cable's Monster Standard THX component-video cable offers a THX-certified video connection between, for instance, progressive-scan DVD players and compatible televisions. Its four-foot length is perfect for moderately long runs from source to monitor (or AV receiver) without undue signal loss.

DVD players, satellite receivers, and other devices use high-performance delivery methods like S-video, component-video, and digital-audio transmission, and high-quality cables are more important than ever for getting the most out of these technologies. That's why THX, a leader in sound-quality certification for movie theaters, collaborated with Monster Cable to create connection standards specifically for home theater. The cables supplied with your entertainment components don't meet Monster THX standards. Some of the connections you need don't even come in the box, including component-video.

Although Monster Standard THX cable doesn't feature many of the advanced technologies found in its higher-performance product lines, it still packs plenty of Monsterous features, like high-quality gold-tip connecters and color-coded tips for easy, error-free hookup. (And dig the stylish, futuristic connector design inspired by Lucasfilm's Star Wars epics!) ... Read more

great
the cables are great they are very strong but bendable at the same time also look cool and most importantly the give a great piture actualy i havent compared it to anything bet i had a component for my ps2 now i have it for my xbox and the the dvds look a lot better with monster cables for my xbox than normal sony component hook up for my ps2 the cables are overall great and the colors really look more real and alive and if u notice with normal av cables u see color mixing and the backgrounds look fuzzy (kinda) and component get rid of 99% (rarely u see a very little color fade or something in a couple of movies in the wrold) and it uses 3 anlog cables for video instead of the 1 anlog that is standerd so u colud say it makes the picture 3x better

Why are there no other reviews?
Why hasen't any else reviewed this great product? Anyways I got my component cable a few days again and can certainly say I notice a great improvment in video quality over my previous S-Video connection. You can certainly tell the difference in the action packed DVD's like Xmen,Spiderman,Terminator and such. But in movies like Bruce Almighty you may not notice the difference.
These are definitely worth the cost. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Over time, any household room can get stuffy and dank, especially in the colder months, when windows stay shut for months on end. Anyone with respiratory allergies knows how that stuffiness, which is the result of an increase in airborne particles, can affect the mere act of breathing. Not to mention the odors. The Holmes Harmony Air Purifier can scrub those particles out of the air with a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Particles of dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even smoke larger than 2 microns are caught in the filters tiny screens. And there's an ionizing function that helps even smaller motes clump together, so they're big enough to get filtered out. A lungful of air scrubbed by the Harmony Air Purifier feels and smells like it's from a snowy mountaintop

The Harmony Air Purifier is designed for a 180-square-foot room, or about 12 by 15 feet. The unit is a slim oval tower of ivory plastic less than three feet tall, easy to place in an unobtrusive corner of the room. There are two control knobs--one for the three power settings, and one to turn the ionizer on or off. An indicator light lets you know when the filter needs changing.

The outside of the unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The air inlet grill can be washed in hot soapy water (not dishwasher-safe); it should be completely dry before being replaced into the unit. The top air outlet can be swept clean with a small, soft brush. The air purifier measures 26-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches. Holmes products include a 3-year warranty and come with detailed operating instructions. --Garland Withers ... Read more

It is noisy, but works for us.
I was hoping for a more quiet, blowing sound myself, but I put the purifier on a foam pad and it's quieter. I have found that it really works in cleaning the air in our bedroom. We used to wake up with stuffy noses, but since having it on low all night, we wake up with clear noses. And the constant white noise type sound helps with the traffic noise outside. So all in all, we are happy enough with the product.

Awful
I bought this unit at my local K-Mart cause I could not wait till it shipped due to extreme hay fever this year. Plain and simple, this thing is NOISY, even on the lowest setting. They say it is quiet on the box but it is not. This thing could wake the dead. I am boxing it up and returning it this evening. DO NOT waste your time or money on this piece of junk.

Piece of Junk!!!!
Stay away from this one!!! Did not last more than 8 hours. It just stopped working!!!!! Don't waste your time or money on this one.

poor quality/noisy obtrusive tower
Wish I read other reviews before I bought this product. First, it's much larger and obtrusive than expected. Quality looks cheap (though it attempts to look like the ionic breeze in style),and when you turn it on it's noisy - even on the low range. Put it on high and the noise level rises dramatically. Have noticed no real improvement in air quality. Stay away from this one.

low quality plus crappy style--stay away!
I bought this at walmart for $70, because the picture on the box looks kinda like the sharper image ionic breeze (but it's not!). it requires you to remove the wraper on 2 filters inside, which is easy enough. Like the ionic breeze I had, it wasn't able to clear out the paint smell my new apartment have. But I figure I would give it a couple more days before I return it. 2 days later when I try to unplug it and move it to another electrical outlet, the LED indicators burned out. It is now on it's 5th day and the fan seems to be noiser than before--as loud as my frig. I knew for $70 I can't ask for much, but knowing what I know now I wouldn't even take it if it's free. ...

Amazon.com Review

Quiet and built of durable plastic, this device circulates air throughout a room at home, at the office, or in a college dorm. Use it alone or with an air conditioner to cool in the summer and to circulate heat evenly throughout a room in winter. Its 72-watt motor combines with a deep-pitch propeller and a cunning grille design to move air in a tight beam. The head pivots from horizontal to vertical. It has an infinitely variable speed control (from 800 to 2,400 rpm), stands 12 inches high, has a 9-1/2-inch-diameter head, weighs 5 pounds, and carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack ...

Highly Impressed
I just received this Vornado Fan and although UPS mangled the box, the fan itself is great. I was highly impressed by the quality and the air output of this fan. For it's size it will really amaze you. The continuously variable speed is great!!!. It's not like a regular fan that has 1. 2. 3 settings you can adjust it to any output. It's whisper quiet at its lower setting but relatively loud at it's highest. The noise doesn't come from the motor but from the deep scoops of the fan blades themselves....it maybe a little loud at the higher setting but for the amount of air that it can push, highly worth it!!! The Grill and fan blade comes off easily for cleaning and Vornado offers a 5 year warranty on this model. I would recommend it to anyone

The Little Black Fan That Could!
I call my new Vornado 'The Little Black Fan That Could'. It's saved my life! Or at least my productivity. I plunk it down near a window and it blows fresh, cool air inside whenever it gets hot up here. My little black fan chugs on and on and on, all day and night long if I want it to with nary a complaint, which might make it even better than a boyfriend ;) It packs a mean punch, a lot more than my big, loud, cumbersome oscillating fan. I also really love the variable slide-speed thingy, which lets me decide exactly how much cool air I want. And if I move into another room, the Vornado comes with me without any lugging a big fan around.

If you are having problems with heat or air circulation, get this fan. I mean it. It looks expensive, but it's the best fan you'll ever own.

FAN-tastic Buy!
This fan is mighty powerful and the best thing about it is the fact that it's very quiet. Of all the fans I've tried this size, this is the quietest. Especially on low....you'll hardly hear it running. Great for moving a little extra air conditioning into another room. Well made. Durable. Sturdy. For the few extra dollars for a fan this size, it's adds up to a great value.

Vornado rocks!
It arrived today. It's June in Atlanta and I've been searching for a fan to help cool my home office. I didn't want to go to the expense of installing a ceiling fan, and felt sure that an inexpense floor or table fan would suffice. Unfortunately, I initially went to my local Target store. First I bought a 17-inch tilt-up floor fan made by Honeywell. I soon discovered that the on/off switch was cheap and that the lowest setting was enough to fly a kite in here. I took it back. My next choice was an oscillating fan on a floor stand. Cheap, cheap, cheap workmanship-- plus, you had to assemble it. The motor was metal and seemed durable enough, but once mounted, it sagged sadly toward the floor-- the plastic apparatus and stand, too weak to support it. I took it back. Ok, I told myself. Don't be in such a hurry. Go to Amazon and do some research. Vornado fans were generally given high ratings. Mine arrived and I am elated. It is just the size I need, is sturdy, the fan-speed settings are unlimited, it runs quietly, and puts out a wonderful breeze. Vornado fans have many fans (and visa versa). Now I am one of them!

Great air-mover, quiet (relatively) and in a compact frame.
4.5 stars, actually.

This fan is great. It's really small, so it can be placed in a window frame or almost any where you need air to be moved from, and doesn't obstruct like a larger, yet less-powerful fan would.

It's really powerful. It really does shoot a tight beam of air, and in turn circulates air around an entire room. This is especially helpful, in say, small, un-air conditioned dorm rooms at colleges too cheap to install AC. This fan is also very good at moving cool air from one room to another. My room at home, also, ironically, does not have AC. The family room down the hall does. So I just place this baby in the hall aimed into my room, and the lovely cold air is pulled in from the family room and shot into mine, and my room is now AC'd, somewhat.

The variable speed control is very nice, letting you control exactly how much air you want moved. The lowest speed is almost silent, but is meant more for just personal cooling, while the fastest speed is rather noisy (but nothing unbearable, it's not bad at all), it IS moving quite a large volume of air, and good for whole-room air circulation/cooling.

I would give this gem a 5, but the frame is just a bit mal-aligned. It can get bent just slightly which causes the blades to smack against the plastic frame, and while this is easily correctable, it is annoying. ... Read more

Exceptionally quiet, this big air cleaner is recommended for closedrooms up to 488 square feet in size. It has four speeds, a lighted,digital-display control panel that monitors filter performance, and two filters. One ofthe filters is true HEPA, meaning it's at least 99.97 percent effective intrapping extremely tiny particles (as small as 0.3 microns) and removing smoke,pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, and molds from the air. The other is anactivated charcoal filter that removes odors from the air and captures largeparticles before they reach the HEPA filter, prolonging the latter's life.Designed slim so it can be placed unobtrusively against a wall, the air cleanermeasures 18-1/2 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 8-3/4 inches deep.

Can't say this is quiet
Perhaps no fan-based air purifier should not allowed to be advertised as quiet. This one is no exception--and I am talking about it at its lowest setting (Sleep). Although it is a bit quieter than my previous fan-based air purifier, it can be clearly heard, even while surrounded by other normal day-time sounds. I can hear it from across the room. Higher settings (Low, Med, High) are worse--I can't stand using Med and High unless I'm out of the room.

I bought at Costco a stand-up cooling fan (with a 21"-by-2.5" air outlet) that is noticeably quieter than this, at roughly the same air output rate.

If you insist on a fan-based air purifier, this may be good enough; just don't expect miracles in terms of quietness. But if you want really quiet or nearly silent, you should consider the Ionic Breeze (although you might find that the slower cleaning rate and the cleaning hassles unacceptable).

Wonderful product!
I did a lot of research before deciding on the Bionaire 1175. My criteria were: (1) Quality product from a company I knew; (2) True HEPA with a prefilter (see how much I learned?); (3) Functional and nice-looking. I could not be more pleased! The unit absolutely looks great: modern, clean design, well-placed buttons, and the nightlight on the readout looks great. It fits neatly against a wall and has a small footprint. These are aesthetic concerns, true, but the unit has to sit someplace in your home, and I wanted it to look good. The air is drawn in the front and out the top, so you get maximum cleaning without the outflow interfering with the air intake. It truly is quiet; the highest setting could probably be compared to running a regular fan. Every day or two, I can remove a good amount of cat hair and larger dust clumps from the front grille -- and this is just the bigger stuff that's getting caught before it even gets to the filters! So, I know it's cleaning my air, and it looks great doing it. Works for me!!

Nice unit!
Works well, does a great job moving the air and cleaning the air as well. Sleeping with it on the lowest setting is fine, but your most effective cleaning is on the highest setting (of course). The only thing keeping it from a five star rating is the over priced replacement HEPA filters. Unit itself is a great deal here on Amazon, couldn't touch the price locally. Am going to order a second unit (or maybe the larger one) for the living room. With 3 dogs, this unit really shines.

Product does not match its name
Package arrived intact, no rattle sound either. However, motor made a loud high pitch noise that seems something scratching the motor or fan. Bionaire seems needing a better quality control over its supply maker.

Quite Loud
While I have no experience with other air filters, I thought this unit was unreasonably loud. I had planned on sleeping with the unit in my bedroom because it was advertised as the most quiet on the market. On the lowest (sleep) setting there was a "buzz saw" sound I cannot sleep with and that, from the noise I heard, may have been caused by tape as described by other reviewers. However, after opening the unit and looking at the fan, I couldn't see any tape. Spinning the fan with my hand elicited a sound like something scraping against the fan blades, but the sound came from an unreachable place inside the unit. I have requested an exchange and hope the next unit performs better. ... Read more

Water hammer concern
I've got one of these installed.It works quite well.It's reasonably easy to program and does have a quick way to manually turn it on for a few minutes.

But the one thing that worries me is the water hammer it causes due to how quickly it shuts itself off.The valve closing causes a TREMENDOUS *bang* on the pipe.This can be solved by adding a water hammer arrestor but most require installation by a plumber.

I previously had this timer hung off a Gilmor Y-tee so as to easily attach a hose.This was a BAD idea.The water hammer is bad enough that it BROKE the plastic Y-tee.This happened, of course, when we where on vacation.A neighbor (or someone) kindly turned off the valve to keep it from spouting water all over the place but the lack of watering killed several flowering plants.So, be warned and DO NOT put anything that's not metal ahead of this timer.

This is the best timer for the money
This timer is easy to program, program review is a snap.It is reliable and the price is reasonable.

Poor valve design
Valve never did open, even when the timer indicated it was open. Removed the electronic portion to inspect how the valve actually operates and noticed that a pin about the diameter of a needle is connected to a diaphram. The pin is pushed down by knob protruding from the electronic portion to open up the valve. For some uknown reason this pin was sliding past the diaphram failing to open the valve. It looks very flimsy and appears that it even if it did work right the first time that after a number of openings and closings that it would wear out rather quickly. The valve design needs to be revised to something more rigid and less flimsy. Its not worth $40. Thumbs down on this one.

Easy to cross thread
I couldn't get the soft plastic to thread properly onto my spigot.WATCH OUT!

Gilmour 9400 water timer
I bought this around the middle of last summer to water my recently seeded yard. I could not be happier with it. It is easy to program and what's really nice is that your can program four different events for each day of the week. I couldn't ask for more. The timer was a great for keeping my seeds wet all day long. Did not give me any trouble and one set of batteries lasted all summer. Another nice feature is that it you can turn the water on and off with a single button push. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

A slim, space-saving design, this Bionaire tower fan adds comfort and cool to your home with the added ease of remote control. The fan features a noise-reduction design that is almost soundless on the lowest setting and comfortably quiet on the two higher settings. An optional 90-degree oscillation function increases room circulation and makes the fan a good candidate for corner placement. The unit also includes a pleasant breeze setting--sporadic cycling through the three speeds for a natural feel--and a sleep function that gradually slows the motor down and turns it off. The fan’s 7-1/2-hour timer works in half-hour intervals for convenience, and an included remote control operates all the fan’s functions. Bionaire also equips the soft-touch control panel with helpful green LED indicators. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Great, quiet fan!
This fan has far exceeded my expectations-it's super-quiet, easy to move around, and has numerous handy features. I've had it about a year-no problems. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fan that works well.

Well made, quiet, and works well
I too suspect a serious hatchet job with ulterior motives from these other reviewers. I have 2 of these, almost 2 years now. I like them very much. They oscillate smoothly and its the only fan I can have near a TV that wont ruin the show with it's incessant cranking noise like a standard fan. I am ordering another one today on the Friday sale. I can't speak for other people but I'm sold. One other note. You can find tower fans from Bionaire in the discount stores but they are the cheapie model, this one is the higher quality one. Maybe the ones these other people are complaining about are the more squarish versions from BJs and Sams and the like.

It's true. This is absolute JUNK.
It's heading out to the curbside after just a few months.

An absolute waste of money, don't bother!

Quiet, it ain't.
So far, the reviews on this item have been in the extreme -- either the product is godawful, or it is the best thing on the market. I have both good and bad review, based on the one I purchased. It delivers a lot of what it promises: a sleek design, multiple functions including oscillation, breeze mode and three speeds to suit your needs, and best of all, it's remote control operated. It also has a programmable timer (which I haven't tried yet). But quiet it ain't. At the lowest level, its sound is loud enough to be irritating (instead of the nearly inaudible hum as advertised), and at the highest level, the humming is loud enough to drown the sound of the television. It's like the sound you hear sitting in a flying airplane. Perhaps this happens because I sit too close to the fan (about 8ft. away diagonally) -- but therein is the other problem: this fan is not strong enough for a large room. I put it in a corner of a 12 X 9 room, and I have to put it on the highest level to actually feel the breeze from the other side.

There it is, the good and the bad. Conclusion: it's a pretty machine that works pretty well, with conveniences. But not as quiet or powerful as advertised. And I will have to wait to report the final test of durability: how long this machine will last through the summer.

ITS JUNK
Was given fan for my new office. Had it running off and on for 2 days and doesnt work !!!! Looks great, 2 days worth and nothing !! Dont buy this piece of junk.....There wasn't any "0" stars or I would have rated it just that.. I dont have the packing slip since it was a gift. So I guess I have to toss it in the garbage...

Easy to install, troublefree
I bought this card after trying another Adaptec card - the DuoConnect 3121 - which has Firewire and USB2.0 connectors.

My advise: if you run Windows 2000 - stick with the simpler 4300 Firewire card (this card). It is simple and easy to install. No drivers, and the extra software is only needed for cameras/DVDs (I use my card for my new scanner). I have had troublefree service from it so far.

The Adaptec DuoConnect 3121, on the other hand, looks very tempting on paper - but trying to install it on Windows 2000 is an absolute nightmare (if you already have other adapter cards). I had severe hardware conflicts - which caused operating system driver corruptions in the end - and lots of wasted hours.

This is where Adaptec support came in. They gave me really good support, and refunded my money when we couldn't get the DuoConnect 3121 working under Windows 2000. And I bought their AFW-4300 instead.

In summary: The 4300 is a good card. Adapter cards from other companies are cheaper than Adaptec brand down here, but the Adaptec support is worth the extra money.

Different software included
The card worked fine with plug-and-play on XP Home. One concern is that it showed up with a different name in the Hardware Manager than the instructions said it would. However, it seems to work fine.

One slightly annoying problem is that it didn't come as the MGI software that the description claims. I received Sonic MyDVD (misnamed since the demo version you get only creates VCDs, not DVDs) along with Arcsoft Showbiz. Sonic MyDVD wasn't able to burn a VCD on my computer. (It gave me "unknown error"), but the software that came with my camcorder didn't have a problem. Over-all I'm unimpressed with this replacement software, particularly since the bundled software was one of the reasons I bought this card. However, between Windows Movie Maker (that came with my machine) and the software that came with my Sony camcorder, I think I can do everything I need for now.

Easy to install and use!
I bought this card because it came with a cable. Giving the card only a 5 rating. Not super impressed by the editing software, MyDVD. It only burns VCD's with basic functions. In order to burn DVD's you have to purchase the upgrade. I will probably end up purchasing more sophisticated software for editing. I installed it on my Dell Dimension 8200 running Win XP. Plug and play just like the instuctions say. Easy to install, Win XP recognized the new hardware, couldn't be easier! Economical card, gets the job done.

Could it get any easier?
I was able to install the card with minimal effort or difficulty. The whole process was actually easier than I thought it would be. Within about 30 minutes of opening the package I had read the installation paperwork, installed the card, and had begun capturing video from my DV camcorder. The accompanying video editing software was also easily installed and useful as an application for novice editors. I installed it into a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows XP Pro and my camcorder is a Canon Optura 20 if that makes any difference.

Great card and even better support
Got this card a year ago and it worked great connecting my XP Pro machine to my DV camcorder. More recently, got a Firewire drive and had some problems. Turned out I needed a patch from Microsoft, but Adaptec support is without a doubt the best free support I've used. Real dialogs with knowledgeable techs - no form letters. Works great now with both the hard drive and camera together. ... Read more

In the hot summer months, fans are necessary for homes without central air conditioning, although they usually don't go with the décor of most formal rooms. This hip 1940s tabletop fan, however, adds a little retro flair to a contemporary living room and is stylish enough to leave out all year round. Reproduced in honor of Vornado's 60th anniversary, this replica comes in its original gray-green color and features a classic streamlined design with rounded twin injector cones mounted on a rotating stand that allows vertical or horizontal positioning. The VF20 offers three different motor speeds, which can be set to the desired level of air flow. The single propeller is deep-pitched to deliver a higher velocity of air than shallower blades and to provide more thorough circulation throughout a room. The motor is permanently lubricated and never requires oiling. However, the grill and base need occasional cleaning with a damp cloth and mild dishwashing soap. This mid-20th-century-style fan is covered by a limited five-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

This headphones really suck !
I liked one of its feature that using normal AA battery instead of rechargeble battery because I know the annoying charging process for built in charger and rechargeable battery.
I would rather buy separate rechargeable battery kit, not built in, for saving money because those batteries stays even longer and easy to charge and more cheaper.

Most terrible feature of this headphone is auto power-off function to save power. Problem is that only transmitter which is get power from AC adapter has this auto power-off function and the headset which is using battery doesn't. What a nonsense! Also, whenever the transmitter turned to power-off mode, the noise from headset almost destroy my eardrums. What a waste of power. The auto power-off mode happens to frequently and errortically. Whenever the cd player end, whenever a mp3 file end, whenever the music get to small, the transmitter turns to auto power-off mode and make big noise. Almost drives me mad. ... Read more
