Fisher-Price Little People Open and Close SUV

Was delivered to my daughter in Florida for my granddaughter's Christmas gift. It arrived in good time and she loves playing with it. Goes with her little doll house perfectly.

I got my 2 year old daughter a Little People doll house for Christmas so this went with it perfectly! It is so cute! I would recommend the product & seller to anyone.

Great little toy for the little people she loves so much. Plays with it and her bus more than any of her Christmas toys.

Very cute. Was larger than I expected and my niece enjoyed playing with it....especially enjoyed the numerous sounds it makes.

This little car is fun and makes a couple of "songs" that my daughter really likes. It goes great with the rest of the little people infant/toddler home toys.

My Daughter loves this toy! She likes shoving Mama and Baby into it and pushing the button to make it make the noises! She spends a good amount of time playing with it and I love wondering what she's thinking as she plays with it!

This made a great gift this holiday! I gave it to several of my friends children. Ordering them off line I was not sure of the quality and size (even though it was Fisher-Price). When they arrived I was presently surprised and the car was a big hit. Seems durable.

Delta Faucet U4929-PK Universal Showering Components 3-Way Shower Arm Diverter for Handshower, Chrome

This is well constructed and easy to install. If one wants a diverter and has arthritis or other issues with their hands, this is the product. The dial style diverter has lost the design battle to this Delta model. The large lever is a great component, just a simple click and the water is diverted/combined! Thank you Delta.

If you have been looking for solid brass plumbing products, you know they are scarce. This is a high quality diverter, that looks like jewelry for the shower.

Functions perfectly giving three settings just as advertised. Venetian bronze matches other Delta products perfectly, just use caution if trying to match to traditional oil-rubbed bronze, it is more dark.

I installed this as soon as I got it. It is a solid piece. Installation was easy with a bit of elbow grease. I finally had to get my husband to screw it real tight. If you don't then the piece moves when the shower head is installed. A complaint that some other reviewers had. You really need to tighten it real hard. No leaks, no issues, great value.

Works perfectly. Easy to install. Simple to use. Color matched great. Would definitely orfer again. Writing the review, repeat words don't count.

My current diverter broke, so I bought this as a replacement. I like this one better. The ability to have shower, handheld, and both was an upgrade. Installed easily, works great, matches perfectly.

this works great,right color,easy to install; but my wife has a problem with your company,she was given a keurig elite coffer maker,does not like how it works and your company will not give her a RMA number to return it, so I will no longer be doing business with you company

Kidkraft Deluxe Fire Rescue Set

This product is well worth the money. We got it from JC Penney for [...] but even at [...] it would have been worth it. It is great quality (not cheap particle board at all). The furniture is all wood, the construction is solid when assembled. It is one of those toys that if taken care of properly, it could be packed away and given to the kids for their own children some day. Highly recommend this product! My boys are 6 and soon to be 3 and they are both thoroughly enjoying this fire station.

I love this toy and my son does too!! I was a little worried about purchasing it, since some of the reviews said it was made poorly and fell apart easy. I am glad I bought it. It is sturdy, well made and looks great!! My son loves playing with it and I love playing with him. It is like a little doll house for boys. The only negative thing is the fireman that come with it. Their legs really don't bend well, so they can't sit on the couch or ride well in the vehicles. I purchased the International Play Things Fire Brigade and they work great in the house. The fireman fit perfectly and come with a ton of extras. 

Amazing value for the price! I can't even believe how many accessories are included and how nice they are and no particle board! The 2 vehicles and helicopter it comes with are so nice they could be a play set by themselves. All of the accessories are large scale and thick chunky wood, so they are very durable.

My 2-year old son got this as a Christmas present it is a great "dollhouse" for boys, but even my daughter enjoys playing with it. It's all wood, even the accessories. My 5-year old nephew came over and played very roughly with it and a large plastic dinosaur, Godzilla-style and there's not a scratch.

I don't understand the couple of reviews which mentioned stuff falling apart or sticker problems - I can only assume they did not follow instructions when assembling or they got something defective because this is definitely a high quality, durable product.

Don't spend your money on those plastic garages, get this instead.

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson for Christmas. He loves it and plays with it every day. It's exactly as depicted, a perfect size (definitely not too small). There are several rooms, each complete with furniture, as well as a firehouse dog with a dog house, exercise equipment and basketball hoops. There's a vehicle for each of the 3 firemen...helicopter, fire truck and ambulance (door opens to put a patient in the back). It was easy to put together and is very sturdy. I couldn't be happier and neither could he. There's so much for a little one to do, imagination can run wild with this toy. If I was limited to one word to describe this, it would be AWESOME! 

This was a showstopper on Christmas morning! My two year old is over the moon! Seems durable and was easy to put together, and not to time consuming for the size. My recommendation is to lay out the pieces in numbered order, if you do that then it is really easy to put together.

PlayStation 3 120GB System

After much research, I purchased two PS3 Slim's for my HDTV's because they come with built-in Wi-Fi and a great Blu-Ray player, in addition to being an awesome gaming system. Plus, the HDMI connections are easy and excellent quality. I'm 62, and was looking for a box that would let me use the wide selection of Netflix instant download movies and programs. I'm happy to report that the picture and sound quality of Netflix downloads is very good on the PS3. Much faster and better than I expected. Not hi-def, but better than regular TV. And I have the Blu-Ray to watch movies by mail from Netflix at the highest quality. Blu-Ray really is an awesome experience if you have a big HDTV and a surround sound system. I use the Sony CT-500 sound bar and subwoofer that has amazing sound quality and separation.

Sony markets the PS3 as an "entertainment system" and I agree that it serves this function very well for me. I returned my hi-def cable boxes to Cox and am now saving $65 per month that was being wasted on crummy channels with endless commercials that I never watched. Now I can get quality programming that I choose myself instantly on demand from Netflix without any commercials. I can play, pause, and re-play a program as much as I like, just like playing a DVD. Sony PS3 plus Netflix really is wonderful and cost-effective solution for users like me...

Highly recommended!

I'm going to try to hide my disgruntled ex-Xbox360 angst as I write this. If you are in the same boat that I was, you own a 360, it broke, and you are considering switching to the PS3 (especially with the price drop), this review is for you.

Side by side, the PS3 and the 360 have many similarities. Graphically, they are close, although I think that the Sony edges out the 360 by a little. Clarity and rendering seems smoother and more flawless. Sound is improved, but the truth is, my 360 only had component outputs (no HDMI) and the PS3 is running straight HDMI signal. So, perhaps its unfair, but I didnt have the choice with the Xbox (it was a first gen 360, I realize its an option now).

Game catalogs both have their high points. No one can deny Gears of War, but I am seeing a trend that the really good games are almost always multiplatform now, and the Sony has some that I can't deny are some of the best I've seen. Upcoming PS3-only games like Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 I feel will seal the deal for me. All my other favorites are available on both systems (GTA, Saints Row 2, Mercs 2, Assassins Creed, Bioshock), so there's really no loser there.

Hardware-wise, the PS3 is the strong, silent type. I mean, its like a Lexus to a Fast-and-Furious exhaust modified Civic as far as noise. My 360 was unbelievably loud, and frankly distracted gameplay because of it. Subtle, ambient surround-sound noises are heard easily with the Sony. Also, it puts off little to no heat. I'm not kidding in any way, my 360 used to raise the temp of my "game room" about 5 degrees or more, it was crazy.

I wont get into longevity and long-term failure rates on both systems. The data is out there, and the PS3 has a much higher success rate in this category. Money doesnt grow on trees, and I really feel that I should only have to buy one console per generation of a system. If I could do it all over again, I would've gone with the PS3 from the start.

Now, I dont online-game, so if thats your thing, then you may take my advice with a grain of salt. If you are like me and pretty much solo or co-op play on-site, then you won't miss "Live".

I'm loving the specs, I'm loving the quietness, and I'm loving the Blu-ray player. I can't recommend the Playstation 3 enough.

I have an 80 Gb PS3, so will probably not be getting one. That having beens said. this may be the answer Sony has been looking for. With the Large Hdd and the pricing, it may be the thing to get the consumers attention. The biggest problem I have heard concerning the PS3 is price. This is a very good price for what you will be getting. This may push those who were on the fence about laying out the money, over to buying one. Hopefully, this new developement will be the thing to spur sales of the console and by extention create greater support by game developers for the PS3. It is only $[...] more then the Wii and you get a heckuva lot more for your buck. As for lack of backwards compatibility, no problem. The PS2 slimline has come down in price. I also have a PS2 ( Non Slimline )so I enjoy games for both.

Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter, 40 pound bag

I work at a pet store and own two cats. I'm able to test litter used for one cat per box at home, and multiple cats at the adoption center located within my store. I've also had the opportunity to try a great deal of products. This litter is absolutely amazing, the best I've ever used. The clumps are as hard as rocks, but at the same time don't break apart into smaller pieces like some other litters do. It's unscented, and the litter box remains odorless even after heavy use. It's also dust free.

To compare to other brands:

World's Best is natural, flushable, non-toxic, and clumping. However, if you live in a small house or apartment the smell will get to you. The litter box will smell like vomit even after a couple uses. I have never used Swheat Scoop, but I heard it's a little better with smell than World's Best.

Fresh Step, Tidy Cats, Premium Choice, and Petco's store brand are decent, but each has disadvantages like dust, or clumps breaking apart or turning into sticky mud. They're relatively cheap however, so this is a major advantage for those on a tight budget.

Crystal litters have amazing odor control, last awhile, and don't track. There isn't a single clumping litter that doesn't track. The problem, however is with diarrhea or loose stools. You'll end up throwing away a ton of litter since the crystals don't clump. Not all cats will use the crystals, and some people are also worried about health effects from the silica dust, though companies that produce the litter claim it is non-toxic.

Cedar, crushed pea, pine cone, and cellulose litters all have their own problems. The crushed pea litter is basically dust in a bag. Even though the smells of pine or cedar are pleasant to humans and mask the smell of urine and feces, many cats are afraid of the odor and won't use the litter box. These litters also suffer from the same problems as the crystals with regards to diarrhea and loose stools. Cellulose litters don't smell, but they also cannot handle loose stools and may not absorb as well as crystals.

If a natural, flushable, environmentally litter is important to you, by all means purchase a litter based on wheat or corn. If price is the most important factor, buy a cheap clumping brand if minor inconveniences don't bother you too much. If you want a reasonably priced, high quality product with no dust and great clumping ability then choose Precious Cat Ultra.

This litter works very well. I can't stand having my cats smell of perfumed litter and this litter works without all the dust and perfumes of your average clumping litter. I'd recommend it to anyone. I have 3 cats and it does a great job.

Before I start this review, let me start by saying that I do NOT work for the company or anything like that. I am just a crazy cat lady that has a loving husband that is a just as crazy about them as I. All of our cats (yes, 7 CATS) are rescue cats-we have either gotten them from someone needing to give them to a good home, they have come up to our door, or we have taken ownership through adopting.

We have 2 cats that have cystitis. If anyone knows about that, it can be a real bummer when it comes to them needing to use the litter box. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Then we found that one of our cats has asthma. I started to do research on asthma and found that a lot of times litter and dust from the litter can wreak havoc on an asthmatic cat. Well, in my search to find the PERFECT litter so that our little boy could breath better without having to take steroids constantly, I came across some information that because a lot of litter has silica in it, can actually CAUSE respiratory problems!! I have noticed in our other cats that they ALL have some sort of coughing, or wheezing going on!! Now I know why!!!

So, there were several litters out there that were just so-so. Then I came across this one...when I was almost ready to give up! I swear it just popped onto the screen and I thought "oh, what's this one??" Cats do NOT like perfumey smells in their litter. They also do not like citrus smells. (try taking an orange out and cutting it up and put it near the cat...he'll RUN!...oh, this is also good to put in areas where they may spray...it will keep them from going back. Anyway, that is one thing they don't like is for their litter box to have a scent. Therefore, when this one popped up, I took a look at all the reviews and wow...most of them were all 5's! The only real drawback was that it comes in a heavy bag...but whatever! It is SO worth it to know I have a healthier place for our "kids" to go to the bathroom.

I opened the bag up in an enclosed area (accidentally) and thought "oh shoot...what am I doing...I shouldn't breath this stuff in"...well to my surprise, NO DUST!!! I couldn't believe it. I mean, it is virtually dustless. Now, there may be a TAD of dust, but really it's like there is NOTHING there!!!!

There is also no perfume so it's really great for them. It also CLUMPS, believe it or not! I thought "oh yeah, this stuff won't clump"...but it totally does! Did I mention we have 7 CATS!!! Yes, 7 CATS and the stuff clumps with all of them using the box.

Oh, another thing...we had another litter box out with another really good brand of litter and they always went in that litter too...but when I put the Precious Cat in the other box (yeah, we only have 2 boxes for 7 cats...I clean it out 3 times a day...) they no longer use the other litter box...they all go in the one that has the Precious Cat!!

I'm telling you all...I am totally sold on this stuff and unless there is some other miracle brand out there...this is it by far! I have had cats for 30 years now, so you can imagine all the litter I have tried.

I urge you to just TRY this stuff...if you don't like it...TAKE IT BACK! I am queen of take-backs because I don't believe in keeping something I don't like. All they can say is no...and Petsmart and Petco have always taken my products back if I find they don't work.

Sorry this is so long, but I really felt the need to write how much I love this stuff. It's also only $14.00 for a 40 lb. bag..that is nothing when you think about it!

Do it for the love of your cats...they are God's creatures and He has given them to us to take care of...and this is one major way to see that their health is protected. That dusty junk is just that...JUNK!

This cat litter is a treat to use. With my 5 cats, we clean cat box twice a day. I say we because until now my 10 yr. old would never clean the box before, because in his words "it was too yucky and gross." Since I found this litter on Amazon, he has cleaned it a couple of times for me and says "this really isn't so bad"
You don't get the cloud of dust in your face when you pour it in the pan. Also, even though it has no perfume to bother our alergies, it really covers the odor as long as the cats cover their waste completly and when they don't, we just use the scoop to toss some over and the smell is gone. It absorbs the moisture from the waste quickly.
Recently, I went out of town for the weekend and set up an extra litter box. I was expecting a total mess on my return, but was pleasantly surprised there was no major odor problem as I had experienced with other major brands.
This is a great product for cat lovers. I'm not saying its a joy to clean the box now (I'm not that zen) but it sure makes it faster and easier. It also seems to keep most waste towards the middle of the litter in the box, so I only have to do a total cleaning (dump everything and scrub the box) monthly instead of biweekly as I did before. 6 stars ******

Nordic Ware Stackable Cooling Racks Two 11 Inch by 16 Inch

This is a fantastic cooling rack, I make bread daily and this is perfect for cooling my loaves of bread. Two racks make it extremely convenient. It is very easy to clean and looks attractive.

These racks worked just as I hoped they would. They are spacious and being stackable is great for my small kitchen. The non stick coating has not been a problem for me, I just scrub them with a sponge when I am through with them. The racks seem to be constructed very well, heavy duty. They look like they will handle years of use. The legs are really easy to snap on and off and seem pretty stable. I have not tried to put anything on the top rack other than a dozen cookies, but it handles them with ease. Also, these racks fit well inside my half sheet pans, which is good for draning things (fried anything). I am really pleased with the product, and at the price I would reccomend that anyone looking for cooling racks pick these up.

This cooling rack has worked out perfectly for me. I make bread and this is the right size to stack loaves of bread (I can fit 6- 1.5 lb loaves on the entire rack). It is really sturdy. I would love to have another one!

The only problem I have with it is my tiny kitchen is out of storage space, and it is bulkier assembled so it lives on the counter. Not too big of a problem, b/c I bake bread 5 days a week so it is usually in use.

Nordic Ware makes nice, sturdy cooking products and this is another of those items. It's not super-heavy in weight but it's solid and the connectors holding the top are easy to attach and remove for easy storage. This holds 2 pans easily and is not flimsy. The best thing I can say is that it does the job exactly as it was intended to do.

Panasonic NN-CD989S Genius “Prestige” 1.5 cuft 1100-Watt Sensor Convection Microwave with Inverter Technology, Full Stainless Steel

This is a very user friendly microwave. If you only use the microwave function, I am sure you'd be happy with it. But it's also a handy little oven. I have made pizzas, cookies, and even a pork loin roast in it! I cooked the pork loin using the combo cooking function (microwave plus convection) just to test it out. The results were very good; a nice moist roast. A 14-in round pizza pan or stone fits in it and also (just barely!) a 9x13 baking dish. And yes, you CAN put metal pans in it when in oven mode. When we first got it we set it up on the counter in our main kitchen for a couple weeks and played around with it. Then we moved it to our newly renovated "bar" in the basement which truthfully is a small, very functional kitchen. This oven is a great solution as we can use it for popcorn, etc. in microwave mode, but also bake pizzas. Another idea I haven't actually done yet is to use it to bake or warm a casserole for a big holiday dinner when my main oven is busy cooking a turkey or something. In fact I like this oven so much I've decided that when we renovate the main kitchen I am NOT going to opt for the double wall ovens but instead get a regular range plus another one of these and then I will have 2 ovens plus a microwave, basically! I think it's a wise investment and a very excellent product.

I purchased and installed this microwave for a family member. We looked all over for a high quality built-in (above the oven, aka cabinet mount) convection microwave. The GE Profile and Advantium lines were very poorly rated online and did have a very good repair history. It's tough if you want a large microwave (capable of spinning a 9x13 dish) that is convection and has a good repair rating. After seeing that the selection available in the marketplace is poor (We looked at Sears, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowes, and at a "Factory Direct Appliance" store). All basically sold very few cabinet mount microwave and those that they did have were either a.) small and very cheap or b.) GE Advantium and very expensive ($1200). Since the Advantium has a very low customer rating all over the web, we decided it wasn't worth the money.

After reading online we noticed that approval ratings of Panasonic Microwaves were very high. They use a different style of microwave element that they call an inverter. This means that, when using lower power levels, the microwave doesn't turn on and off the element. For example power level 5 on almost every microwave means the element turns on for 2 seconds, then off for 2, then on again. This means that delicate foods come out screaming hot in places and cold in others. The Panasonic has a proprietary element that actually has adjustable amounts of power it can output. This is something that sounds like marketing but in this case it is truly unique and directly beneficial to the customer.

The "sensor" cook option works really well. We followed the directions to bake a potato. The microwave instructs you what to do on the display. The result was a large perfectly well baked potato in about 90 seconds all managed by the sensor. I was shocked at how well it worked and how fast it was.

Be purchased the mount kit (the unit is for countertop use out of the box). The kit, while expensive, is very high quality and well designed. It was easy to install and looks great. It matches the Samsung fridge perfectly and is neither cheap looking nor "showy". It, like the microwave, is very austere and modern looking without being too "high tech" looking.

I'm VERY pleased about this microwave and think that its a good value for its price. It comes with racks and ceramic turn table. The interior is all stainless steel. Overall I can't find a place that Panasonic cut a corner in the microwave, accessories, or the trim kit. For the price (less than half the price of an Advantium) the build quality is perfect.

Syma X1 4 Channel 2.4G RC Quad Copter - UFO

I have had helicopters and planes but this is my first quadcopter so, I'm not going to pit this against more expensive quads available. I just want to start by saying I had NEVER had so much fun with an RC anything. Compared to all other flying and land vehicles this is my new favorite. I will never buy another helicopter again for sure. This little cheap quadcopter has made an overwhelming impression on me. I can't believe the technology and durability for this price, it truly is impressive. The build QUALITY is so simple and yet so perfect. There are no frills such as blinking LED's for looks or extra design for the body. This is a plain design but don't let its outside looks fool you. The gyro is top notch. I have purposely flipped this thing repeatedly, a neat feature I will mention later, and it always finds itself upright and stable. There are two speeds, High and Low. Low is wonderful for beginner flyers. I have let me 7 and 8 year old girls fly this and they do very well and have zero flying experience. The high speed is well, HIGH! You better have some skills built up when you press that button! It can perform some amazing feats in the right hands. The eversion flip feature I mentioned earlier is a bonus Syma built in for extra fun. Just get it up to about 10 feet, push the button and hit the right stick and a perfect eversion flip it will perform, every time! FLIGHT TIME is about 8 ½ minutes, which is good enough, wish extra batteries were available easily though for extended flying time. DURABILITY is equally on par with the flight characteristics, this thing is dang near indestructible! No foam or balsa here, or wood props to splinter into pieces every time you whack something. I have smacked this thing into the side of my house at nearly full speed from about 15 feet high outside and it crashed down from there and hit my driveway. I flipped it over and took right back off, no issue or damage! AMAZING! The other thing I have done is rigged a small VGA camera to it. Now this thing is not meant to handle any load and amazingly it does well. The camera is quite small almost a keychain type. I have taken some very cool footage so far. The biggest thing this opened my eyes to was the possibility of bigger and better quads that can handle larger camera for FPV or first person view. I would love to see SYMA build a larger more powerful quadcopter capable of carrying a goPro or something for FPV. I would pay $200 just for that! Syma has made me a believer in its brand and I will always look to them from now on as a top notch RC brand, I expect to see BIG things from them in the future, hint, hint SYMA! So in conclusion whether beginner or expert you will thoroughly be impressed with this little quadcopter as it's worth the low, low price and probably $100 more! Amazon's price is the best hands down don't waste your time looking elsewhere. Don't hesitate to buy if you are interested in trying out a quadcopter for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

took me a few tries to get the hang of it, but after that its pretty easy and sooo much fun, one thingi learned of that bat is read the instructions ! as soon as ytou insert the battery into the chopper you must sit it on flat floor and it calibrates itself, if u dont do this it wont fly right, i made this mistake my first time. also controls very sensitive ive only dared to fly in low rate mode so far and have had a blast i could only imagine what high rate will bring! will tryt it wheni have more openare. great great toy would reccomend as a gift,!
