not pleased
I have to be so near to this mike for it to broadcast over my computer's speakers that my breathing is picked upas well as my voice.

Ok Sound quality, poor life
This mic lasted me only 10 months and I had bought it for $[a good price]. The sound quality is ok and you need to tune it through your audio wizard or sound can be very distorted. As someone else mentioned it was not a very good mic to use with speech recognition software but ok for conversations. Howerver, it just stopped working one day.

Good for voice/net telephony, bad for serious stuff
This thing sounds ok as a voice recording mic and for transmitting speech over the net to other humans, but for things like speech recognition and anything where the computer itself may have to understand you, this thing is aweful.It does not do a good job at all of filtering out background noise.If you want a good speech recognition mic, go find yourself a decent headset that specializes in speech. ...

love 'em
I like the colors.I'm a colorful person.These look great in my silverware drawer.:) If you like to wear chopsticks in your hair, they look nice as an accessory, too.

Chopsticks to love.
I have made a habit of buying chopstick sets as gifts for my husband, ever since we started dating.I found these as stocking stuffers last Christmas, and he named them as his favorite gift from me.

Beautiful and functional, these chopsticks stand out in our collection for being both modern and traditional.The unusual color combination is every bit as vibrant as it is depicted online, a great surprise.

The laqueur can make them a bit slick for tackling dishes like shark fin stews -- I have dropped mine a few times, but then again, my notorious ineptitude with chopsticks may make that more likely to happen to me with or without laquer -- but they are well constructed and hold up well after multiple washings and heavy use.

For entertaining, nothing beats these gorgeous chopsticks.For one dinner, we mix-and-matched the colors to create a different (and stunning) visual effect to rave reviews.

Highly recommended, for eye-candy *and* utility.

Very pretty and versatile
I love all the colors of these chopsticks, and especially that they complement each other--the perfect word, considering how often I get compliments from my guests. They're fun and dressy at the same time, and they're a good size and shape--long enough for people with big hands, but their fine points also make "dainty" work easy. And they dress up any table setting (even if some guests choose to use a fork). ... Read more

Simply a necessity
I have no clue how this compares to other products of its type, but this product functions just fine.It is a no brainer purchase, especially if you notice that you have started growing pesky hair in unfriendly places :o)

What can you say except that it works well?
Well, I will do my best.It works as advertised: cuts hair quickly and cleanly without pain or discomfort.Easy to clean and store.The switch is responsive and easy to use, with a very tactile "slide" that makes it easy to firmly place in either the "on" or "off" position.

The only demerit I can think of is that, when gripped firmly, you can feel a slight "creaking" to the plastic housing.No specific reason to think that it is a defect in this sort of small and inexpensive appliance, but I am accustomed to considering that a demerit in higher-priced electronic gadgets (cell phones, PDAs, pagers), so perhaps it bears brief mention here.

I will also point out that unless I am very much mistaken, this trimmer has been selected by several well-known retailers of gadgets as their "best of category" item.Hence, I apparently am not the only one who has had a good experience with this trimmer.

I "nose" what I'm talking about
This is the best nose and ear hair trimmer I have ever owned. It weeds out my nose hair is no time and doesn't pull or "yank" at them, but instead cuts them cleanly for a clean smooth inner nostril. Works great on ear hair too! Easy to clean and the blades stay sharp. A great buy! ... Read more

Not a good first pogo stick
This is a total waste of money.My daughter received one for her 5th birthday and can't get it to bounce at all. She is 44 lbs, my 6 year old son couldn't get it to go either.I even had a hard time pushing it up and down trying to loosen it up a bit.

I guess it seems well built enough but not designed for smaller kids very well.

Won't jump!
My daughter is 50+ lbs. and can't make it jump.My husband took it apart and tried greasing the springs and it still is really tough to make it go up and down.Maybe we have a lemon?We're all disappointed and frustrated.

A really fun toy
This toy helps you learn how to have a real medal one and it is easy to get on and stay on. ... Read more

Editorial Review

You don't have to wait for your next visit to the dentist anymore toenjoy an oral water cleaning. With this portable oral irrigator, you can showoff clean teeth and happy gums every day. The irrigator has two speeds, thehighest of which shoots 1,600 water pulses per minute onto your teeth andgums--cleaning away food particles and massaging and strengthening gums. To fill theirrigator, simply open the plug in the water tank and fill with warm water--thehole is almost an inch across for easy faucet filling. Ideal for travel, theirrigator's nozzle tucks conveniently into a built-in storage slot, and thewater tank is collapsible--making the irrigator compact and portable.Unfortunately, the water tank is on the small side; it holds just under 6 ouncesof water.

Using the irrigator is a bit of a trick: you have to lean over the sink to letthe water drain out of your mouth, but you also have to keep the irrigatorupright to keep the water pulsing appropriately. It can take a couple of triesto get it right, but those accustomed to oral irrigators should have noproblems. Operates on two AA batteries (not included). --Ariel MeadowStallings ... Read more

• Battery operated
• 1,600 pulses per minute; 2 speeds

Excellent Product - good for cleaning wisdom teeth
Excellent design and price.Very powerful.I have used this to clean my Panasonic pore cleaner and even my Panasonic wet/dry razor.I'd recommend this highly to anyone with wisdom teeth that are difficult to clean.

Panasonic EW176 Portable Oral Irrigator
My dentist recommended that my family use this portable irrigator.I must say that I am very pleased with it.I personally hate to floss, so this has made a huge difference
with my gums.The only thing that I recommend is that you use rechargeable batteries as the batteries do wear down rather quickly.We went on a trip this past weekend, and it was great.Being very portable, I didn't have a problem packing it in my suitcase.It is even small enough to put in my purse to take to work.One thing, once you start using it, you will hate the feel of food on your teeth!

Excellent Portable Product
This portable unit does a nice job although the reservoir should be larger.Powerful enough to remove those particles stuck between the teeth. Small enough to take anywhere, although I am buying another one to keep at the office. ... Read more

Le'ts give a hand clap for Dr.Scholl's Body Massager
When it comes to stress and pain I have been overcoming quite a bout with these conditions for the last three years in my body. I have bought all kinds of creams and tried different methods of helping myself reduce the pain with different kinds of massagers.
Upon buying Dr. Scholl's Body Massager from the first day that I cut it on my body was never the same. I felt like I had a long arm with a great big wide had with soft fingers just extend the comfort of the massage to the right spot especially in my lower back and neck area..
I have never desired to lay back on a massager and just let it massage my neck, but I have to give it to Dr. Scholl's this product was comfortable enough to even lay my neck upon it and just relax while the massager did the rest.
Please don't laugh at what I'm about to say.For three years I have religiously used my massager daily. I even have gone to sleep with it on because I like the comfort that it has brought to my body. I bought it brand new, and used it so much that the strong sound and vibrations that it had when I first got it no longer sounds the same. It has a buzzing sound like it is about to die. So I am once again going to buy a new one because it has been very beneficial to me and I wouldn't want to use anything but the best. It was worth every penny I paid for it, and I'm sold on keeping one around at all times. Thanks for giving me a chance to tell someone else what an experience I have had. Now you can stand up and give Dr. Scholl's that hand clap and a cheer. ... Read more
