query: Apart from items that came in the package. What other items are needed for a good installation?

pos: It is light, so you need some way to keep it in place. We use ours on a concrete patio, so some bricks sitting on the six inches extra fabric on the bottom works well. On dirt, there are holes in the feet where some wire tent posts would do the trick. Depending on your area a heat source may be needed. We use a "reptile heater" which is a fifteen foot rubberized wire we string around the plants. It puts out 50 watts very gently. If light is not offensive, a lamp inside will produce enough heat.

pos: Level ground and an anchoring kit to tie the frame down. I found assembly very easy.

pos: Hi Clive,I apologize for missing your message for a year.I apologize for missing your message for almost a year. I used some large orange tent stakes from Lowe's to anchor it. I also used a sharpie to mark where the pipes for the frame fit together to help put it together from year to year. I hope you are enjoying your garden.Pete

pos: The instructions clearly recommend using soil anchors (available on Amazon). When properly installed, the structure will withstand storm winds (mine went through Sandy on the Jersey shore with no problems except occasional slight lifting of an inch or two in one corner.)

pos: Anchors. This thing could blow away in a strong wind without them. Make sure anchor it.

pos: Nothing really needed at all. I used only my hands. No tools are required. You might need help getting the plastic cover on and a step stool too. I set it up on my patio last year and had no issues with it at all. Even in strong winds of 35 to 45 MPH did not cause any problems. If you live in an area with stronger winds then you might want to use weights to hold it down. The bottom of the legs come with flanges that will allow you multiple ways to secure the house down. You could just set some heavy pot plants on top of these flanges to hold it down. Hope this helps. We do like ours very much and we don't have to carry our 50 plus pot plants in during a freeze.

pos: Anchors, shelves, support for the shelves, mulch for the ground inside (6 cubic feet). For the anchors we used 3/4" rebar stakes 18" long, for the shelves we had a 4x8' weather resistant 5/8" thick plywood cut into a 2x8' and a 1.5x8 sheet (leaves a 6" strip you can leave there or take home), and 4 inexpensive "sawhorses" to hold the shelves up. Three bags of hardwood mulch covered the floor and kept the grass from growing and mud from forming. Radiator "hose" clamps from the auto parts store hold the frame to the rebar stakes.

pos: Well, we just put ours up again this year on an 8'X10' deck we built for it. I will definitely need anchoring and yesterday I purchased some thin threaded rods that I am going to install between the decking boards and fasten the feet of the frame with washers and wing nuts. I don't really want to drill holes in my deck, so I am hoping this will work. Also, I put plastic shelving inside on both sides of the tent with my plants on them; this also helps to secure it from windy and stormy weather. I will need to put some kind of heat source inside, as well; not sure what though. I like the idea of the reptile heater and am going to look into that. Hope this helps.

query: Does it include the figures?

pos: Yes..if you bring it up on Amazon you can see the figures in the lower left corner of the box.

pos: Yes, it contains the Marty McFly character on his skateboard and Dr. Emmett Brown character.


query: would one SA-12 be bumping with this box? its running on 1200 watts rms

pos: Is that 1200 watts at a 4 ohm load, Sundowns SA-12 is only a 600 watt rms sub @ 4 ohms, so yeah it should bump like all hell, but for how long???

pos: Absolutely. I ordered this box for my alpine type r as an upgrade from my old box. And it's almost as if you double your sound. You won't be disappointed.

pos: This box resonates pretty well I've had a pioneer champion series in it and I've now reinforced it to house my Orion hcca 12.2" and it works great best prefab box I've seen so far

pos: I had a alpine type r running 1200 watts in that box and it was OK but I like lower bass and it didn't hit the low so I went to a different box

pos: I have a 12 champion pro in this box and 1000 rms and it pounds. Its made out of good material and its crafted well. Its also just the right size not too big n not too small. Im extremely happy with it.

pos: This is honestly probably one of the best prefab boxes out there of this type.


query: will this battery work in a vgn-nw320f

pos: I think it should however you may go to the Sony website and plug in your product number to be sure which battery it call out just to be safe.

pos: Its a direct fit to the model listed... if you can eye ball it, by zooming into the picure of the battery..thats your call.. but it can be off slightly which will not alow it to fit. I would keep looking to find that exact model...but thats your call..good luck.


query: will this work with apple I pad 2 ?

pos: it will definitely not fit in the holder part of it, it wax at max capacity with my boyfriends razor maxx phone


query: Will this work for the Phil&Ted Smart Buggy?

pos: If you mean will will work for the Phil and Teds Smart Lux stroller? It sure will. I have it and its perfect.

pos: Doesn't look like it. The parts are plastic. They go over the attachment part connected to the stroller and where the removable seats would go.


query: how large an oven is needed for it to fit inside and cook properly?

pos: oven capacity should be 13 1/2 in wide by 13 1/2 in deep by 9 in high. [ microwave ]

pos: Just get the measurements of the Fasta Pasta maker and then measure the inside of your microwave oven. Mine has a circular plate that rotates and the pasta maker fits perfect on top of the rotating disk.

pos: "standard" microwave will do. it won't fit, if it's too small. capacity should be at least: 13 1/2 in wide by 13 1/2 in deep by 9 in high. hope this helps.

pos: It's 11 1/2 inches wide, so aslong as the carousal plate in your microwave is that wide it should be able to sit on it and rotate without problems.

pos: I have a small microwave and i put it corner to corner. It takes about 20 minutes. I put it in for ten stir then 10 more minutes

pos: You don't put the fasta pasta in the oven, you put it in any standard sized microwave, you dingus

pos: Not sure of size of oven, but the Fasta Pasta is the length of spaghetti, so if it would fit in your oven with at least an inch on each side I am sure it would work.


query: ive had this system for a few years,and operation was fine till the volume would stop completely for no reason is ther a fuse that is going bad?

pos: Don't have an answer for you, just think its interesting. We have really liked our system and bought it just over 2 years ago but it decided to just stop working all together today, no power at all. and it has been working great just today even. this is one of those times I wish I had bought the extended warranty, funny how the one you don't get it for is the one that quits working. Oh well. If anyone knows a fix let me know please. already checked all the connections and like I said was working fine earlier in day.

pos: I think it is all solid circuitry, without fuses. I had a lot of trouble with this system, and returned it.


query: sony vaio vpcee35fxe is my laptop, would this work for mine?? Are these SONY battery?? look forward to read your answer.

pos: I think it will work for you because it is VGP-BPS2, VGP-BPS2A. However it is Li-ion 11.1V 5200mAh. I am certain it will work. Let me know if you want it. Cheers

pos: i have been disappointed with the battery; it seems to last oly 3 to 4 hours after a full charge.


query: This might sound like a silly question, but I can't seem to find a "quiet" alarm. lol Does the buttons on this one click when you push them? My husband and I work different shifts so I try to be very quiet so I don't wake him. I often turn the alarm...

pos: The buttons do make what I would call a soft clicking sound vs. a hard clicking sound made by most clock radios.


query: I need the letter K how long will it take to ship & can I get rush delivery

pos: We can ship today and yes, you can order expedited, second day or next day air.

pos: Do you have the letter H? And do you have a small K and R, I would like to have 3 letters total --small k&R; large H


query: Is this for the transmitter or receiver or either?

pos: this is the battery for the receiver. I also ordered through amazon a replacement battery for the transmitter and although it looked the same size it was slightly longer and wider and would not fit in the transmitter and had to be returned. The battery illustrated fits the receiver and works great!

pos: Yes this is the receiver battery. The transmitter battery is more expensive. The cheapest I've found them is $26 something & $5 shipping. The actual company sells it at $29.95 + $4.95 shipping then I've seen them over $36. I had to contact sport-dog to get all the info.The transmitter is SportDOG SD-400 Series Transmitter Battery Kit - SDT00-11910 (REMOTE)Hope this helps

pos: It's for the receiver. I haven't opened up the transmitter, but it's an easy swap on the receiver.

query: Love this bottle for work. Long time owners: what is the longevity like with this bottle? Does lid break easily or wear out?

pos: The lid can break if dropped but Thermos sells the replacement lids for $3. I bought some spares and have been happily uses my same bottles for 2 years.

pos: The bottles are top heavy and fall over easily. If you drop them, the lids are done for. The "pop" open feature will no longer work and they will leak. I really like these bottles too, but I've bought 4 of them and they have all broken.

pos: We had four of them. My teenager kids are very active in sports and these bottles did not last more than 4 - 6 months. Would not recommend for kids. The plastic "catching mechanism" broken on 3 of the 4. I hid the 4th bottle from my kids and it lasted longer. With gentle use, it lasted me about 1 year before the plastic latching mechanism finally broke. I decided to upgrade to their stainless steel (insulated) water bottle. I've had it for about 4 months and like it better (but it cost about $20).

pos: Lid breaks extremely easy . There is just a teeny tiny piece of plastic that holds it closed!

pos: It doesn't stand up to being dropped. I had a lot of problems with the top bursting open when dropped, and the latch on the lid ultimately gave it up one day. Replaced it with a standard screw-top Nalgene; more work to open, but definitely no durability issues.

pos: Yeah, locking mechanism breaks if you drop it on the lid. You can purchase replacement lids and the plastic bottle itself is solid.

pos: Had this for almost a year now, and no issues with the lid breaking. It seems very well built.

pos: I broke two lids and had to throw both bottles away. In both cases one drop on a hard floor was all it took. Have gone back to stainless steel.

pos: I have 3 of these bottles. I have had them for around a year each. I'm a little rough with them, walking miles with them most days, throwing them in my car when I'm in a rush. I even freeze water in them often, and on none of them has the lid worn, the sides cracked, or really any sign of wear shown. It's only been a year, but they've done very well so far.


query: Will this work for a deeper pan - like a gold pan that is 12" diameter?

pos: I would not try that's what I tried it on and the springs snapped right off as I was trying to put it on

pos: I wouldn't trust it to. I tried to stretch it over a 13" plate with about a 1" depth and the wire broke at one of the places it bends. The further you stretch it, the more likely it is to break.


query: Can you put a pass code lock on the device and can you do this before syncing to PC?

pos: Yes-but when you hot sync, the application will ask for your password before it will continue.

pos: Not for the device but individual files stored in the Memo can be password protected.

pos: This is a remote control ball. The real question is: Can a cat run away from this?

pos: Yes. My cats love this thing. They catch it and trap it with all four legs, as if their trying to protect. Looks like a football game when someone fumbles the ball. Very funny to watch.


query: Will this work with a VIP222K Receiver?

pos: I don't know??? I have VIP211k's and have no problems. I looked on both the DISH and Winegard websites and don't see a definitive answer. On the Winegard site I see one reference that say the X2 works with all VIP receivers, in the Q&A; section it says...Q. What do I need to set up the Pathway X2 antenna?A. You will need a TV and an activated receiver with programming package. The antenna must be used with a DISH Solo HD receiver; examples include DISH 211k, 211, 411, and 211z receivers.I would call Windgard, their Tech Support folks are very helpful.

query: Has anyone measured the interior of the 46" model? I have a rifle exactly at 46" and was wondering if they give you any leeway?

query: How does the VHT Rust Converter compares to the Rustoleum Rust Reformer? Thx.

pos: Since neither one is a magic bullet - i'd go with about the same. I cleaned and sanded the area and applied twice. It says it doesn't effect the surrounding area which isn't entirely true. It slightly discolors it. I feathered it out and it isn't as noticeable. It did cover the rust and dry with a black primer coat which quickly rusts again if you just leave it exposed.


query: Can they be on inside of window and reflect heat back out

pos: We used it to cover our skylights. It isn't reflective but I guess you could make a shade out of it if you were an experienced seamstress or tailor. It would block bright light like one of those pull down shades you see at many restaurants.

pos: Yes. My friend bought the one on the roller for a large sliding glass door & yes it blocks the sun therefore reflecting the heat.


query: how do you attach it to your bed?

pos: Our bed was on a metal frame and it attached at the base of the headboard to that using 4 nuts and bolts.


query: does this product have an expiry date?

pos: I've checked and there is no expiration date for this product. Also, if you don't mind but I am also recommending that you purchase SULFUR SOAP 10 along with the Kleen Free. I promise in one week you will see a major difference. Oh, and can't leave out the cleaning along the way. Will still have itch here and there but mites will be gone.

query: what if the fit bit stops charging

pos: we didn't have that problem. We couldn't get them to sync. One stopped after about a week, the other about 2 weeks

pos: There is a tiny button on the bottom of the charging base that you could try pushing in with a pencil or pen to reset it. Not sure what to do if that doesn't work )-: It would be so nice if they had live support instead of just email.

pos: Cut your losses as many of us have done as we have tried everything and there is no solution. Could try sending the device back

query: Had this cart for several months using it for work. It rattles very loudly. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?

pos: I have a cart that I used for moving and use to move boxes around etc. I have never had this sound in mine but I would suggest contacting sparco themselves - also you probably have a warranty on it. If the sound comes from the wheels, it could be the bearings.


query: When I press the power button it doesn't turn off. Is this happening to anyone else/does anyone know the problem or how I can fix it?

query: will it fif a 1989camaroiroc

pos: Sorry for not getting back sooner, according to my old man it will fit.. It fits my Honda Accord coupe like a glove. I like the how it fits snugly.

pos: I used it for Buick Verano and it fitted well. It will fit any mid size car

pos: It fit my 1980 Turbo Regal with a little room to spare, I would say yes Sandra.

pos: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS COVER.. it will only last 6 months and then trying to get a refund and/or a replacement is an exercise in futility.

pos: By the way, this is a good product for inside only, do not let it get wet or else you will not be happy. Covers for outside are expensive for a reason.


query: Is this the same machine (Handpresso Auto Espresso) That is sold alone for the same price? Also does this kit come with an adaptor for the automobile

query: I am 5' 8" 160 lbs will medium be thr right size?

pos: That size would be to small get the large. These things run tight and after one wash and you put it in the dryer it will shrink.

pos: I am 6'2" 175 lbs and the xl fits me perfectly. Perhaps a large would fit you better. The item is not supposed to go in the dryer. The shirt is supposed to be skin tight.

pos: I am 5'4 and 130 lb.....what size should I get??? The 10.or the size 12??? :)

pos: I am 5'8 176lbs and large fits me well (i lift weights). So medium should fit you. However, a reviewer gave me advice that worked perfectly. He said to buy the suit that is the same size as your t shirts. My t shirts ard large (42-44) chest.


query: Does anyone know if this jacket would be warm enough for Germany in winter?

query: Have any one use this switch for 5050 LED strip?

pos: Yes this switch works great for all LED Make sure it's set to CFI on top of switch


query: How are the eyes applied? Some can be pulled out and swallowed.

pos: I see one of the responses says glued and sewed. It seemed to me that is the way they are also. My grand daughters were 4 and 6 when I got these for them and no problems with them pulling the eyes off and swallowing them. Someone younger and very destructive could possibly pull them off and eat them but as stated it would take some time and definitely lots of persistence.

pos: We gave the dog house to our granddaughter for her second birthday. I can't remember how the eyes were secured on the dogs, but they did not seem to be dangerous. She and her older brother and two cousins also played with the dogs and none of the eyes were removed.

pos: We have lost a nose off one of the dogs, but no eyes. Still, I am sure it is possible for them to be pulled off. Something certainly to keep in mind for smaller children. My boys love these little dogs. We've had these pups for several years and they have become dear "friends" to my boys.

pos: The eyes look to be glued and sewed around, with the backing wider than the opening they are in if that makes sense. It would take some time and persistent work to get them loose. Got them for my 18 month old, she is now 2 1/2 and we have had no issues, and they have all been through the wash.

pos: Yes. The FloorMate does a great job on tile, not so great with the grout though.


query: What is the best way to store a 25 lb of chia seeds to maintain their quality and to ensure they stay fresh?

pos: The bag they sent keeps them fresh. Or you can put them into plastic bags, like ziplocs and use them that way. Or things like flour storage jars.

pos: I bought my bag in November 2013. I meant to buy containers to store them in, but I never did. Instead, I'd store about a quart at a time in my kitchen shelf; the rest I just left tied up tight in the bag they came in. They're still as delicious and fresh as when I first got them.

pos: We just keep them in their box/bag in the pantry (as the previous answer noted, the pantry is cool and dark). Because they are seeds, they don't really have a shelf life.

pos: If you are looking to store your seeds in smaller containers, I would suggest 1/2 gal. glass mason jars. My 25lb. bag filled just over 9 of these jars, with enough left over to fill 1/2-3/4 of a quart mason jar. I would also suggest a LARGE mouth funnel (wide mouth canning funnel) to assist in filling said jars. All the jars are stored in my dark and cool pantry.

pos: Chia seeds last a very long time! I store mine in air tight containers in a cool, dark pantry.


query: what is the height of the bucket with the lid open in the vertical position?

pos: Bottom of bucket to top of open (vertically) lid is 16". Typically lid will settle into horizontal position when opened to scrape food waste into bucket. I hope that is helpful to you. Regards Gordon Newman YukChuk LLC.


query: IS THE PHONE HOLDER CAN FIT IPHONE 6 PLUS ?

pos: You would probably need to put it on its side. Even my iPhone 5s is too 'top-heavy' to store vertically.


query: my charger has 2 silver prongs marked + and -. The battery has 3 gold connection areas. Charger is inscribed "fits SN BN1" Battery is marked" BTR BN1-JWP Is this right?

pos: Those are the exact markings my charger and Replacement batteries have. I have been using mine since January without difficulty.

pos: I dont have it in my possesion so I cannot recall what the info written on it. However when I used the charger that came with the batteries. everything worked perfectly for my cybershot camera. From what i can tell, everthing looks exactly like the picture. hope this is helpful!

pos: Yes - that all sounds exactly like mine, purchased about a month ago and working great. Just slide the 3 gold end of the battery against the 2 silver prongs, push gently, and it will slip into place. When you look at the battery in the charger, the BTR-BN1-JWP side will be showing and the black triangle will be pointing towards the side where the 2 silver prongs were. Hope this helps. I've found this to be a great kit - small, everything you need, works well.

pos: I used my charger (marked LCH-BN1) with the Wasabi batteries marked BTR-BN1-JWP in Italy and all worked well. Simply slide the gold end of the battery onto the two silver posts. I also used it with a Sony battery. Worked great.

pos: yes, chargers only need the + and - to charge the battery. the battery has 3 prongs because is for the camera and its used to control battery drain and temperature, think of it as a censor for the battery


query: My receiver keeps losing signal. 4 times in the last hour. Any ideas? I was only about 35 feet away...

pos: This product looked too good to be true, maybe it is, Thanks for the review.

pos: Kevin, First check the batteries with a volt meter. Completely remove them from both sender and receiver and rub a pencil eraser over the contacts inside the units. If you still have the same challenge return the units, one of them is funky. Always pay for this type product with AmEx. They will open a dispute if for some reason the manufacturer doesn't send your money back.

pos: I have the same problem as the previous answer, the thing is junk, if you can send it back...

pos: I had the same problem then it got worse and now the unit does not work at all and unfortunately Amazon will not take it back. I cannot get a hold it manufacturer to see if they will take it back. I am NOT very pleased with the product.

pos: Same problem here. The receiver has trouble keeping connection through a sliding glass door less than 20 feet away from the transmitter. Door open, no issue. Door closed, constantly dropping signal. Tried fresh batteries, no joy. Complete crap.


query: What is. The experation date on the product

pos: i don't know - didn't look for one. i'm pretty sure you can email the seller through Amazon - i'd call Customer Service


query: does with come with instructions inside or are they just on the package. does it come with any other wires or plugins/

pos: One phone cord. Two plug-ins: line in and line out. Works great for me. Adjustable volume and nice strobe light. Very happy with the unit.

pos: It is simple to install! It comes with a telephone wire, plug it into the ringer, and into your telephone extra jack. And a AC To DC adapter, plug it into the wall outlet and into the ringer, hang it on the wall, it's ready to go! I have mine in my shop, a 35' X 65' and I can hear it every where in the shop, except when the saws are going, then the strobe light alerts me!


query: Are the knives cerrated?

pos: yes, but they are small. I absolutey love this set and get many compliments about it.


query: is this made in the USA?

pos: Made in USA - this is definitely the BEST travel accessory we have for our dog. While it can be spilled, it is very hard to spill. Our dog loves it - she will use in in prefernce to her standard water bowl when given a choice.

pos: Hi, Yes the water bowl is made in the good old USA. It is a quality product.

pos: Hi, I would guess it is and this is a fabulous product. This is totally no spill especially if you are like me and have a messy drinker. Freezing some water gives you the ice, keeps it cold and is the best product for travel that I have ever purchased.. I totally feel you would be very happy with this product


query: I am a disabled person & staying in Jersey City, NJ. Is this approved to use this tool while learning Car driving and while Driving Test at DMV?

pos: I don't know, but I would guess not. These controls are very well made, but they do NOT replace the hand controls used by disabled people. My father, for whom these controls were purchased, refused to use them because they were not what he expected. The two handles act directly on the brake and accelerator with no mechanical advantage, so they are difficult to use with smoothly. The handle end is not mounted to anything, to the handles rest in the driver's lap when they are not being held in the hands. Good luck with the hand control approval process in NJ. It is a draconian mess in OK and TN.


query: Is the keyboard back lit ? It just says standard keyboard but to my knowledge all HP Envy Ultrabooks have back lit keyboards

pos: It is NOT a backlit keyboard. They are just regular keys. Having said that, my stepson LOVES this laptop and says that he does not miss the backlit keys at all. Hope this helps.


query: Does it make a lot of noise when it flies or is it relatively quiet. If it was flying through an area with people, would they notice it? Thanks

pos: It wont disturb anyone it isnt loud per se but it does make a buzzing sound pretty much what you would expect....will people notice...yes but not because of the noise


query: Are these really hard to chew? Could someone with no teeth get through a bag? Thank-you

pos: You need teeth, they are hard. Just the right crunch. I love them with dip. I prefer this brand to any of the others.

pos: They are thicker than say.. tortilla chips and while they are delicious, might be a bit hard to chew for someone without teeth.

pos: They are very thick and crunchy so I think it would be difficult for someone without teeth.

pos: These are crispy chips. To chew these without teeth would require them to be softened. Perhaps dips in a liquid. They are quite tasty though!


query: What is the opening measurement?

pos: Approx 1 1/4" Narrower than some glass bottles but larger than a typical bottle of water from a convenience store


query: Why is the case for the 4s more than the 5 series?

pos: Because this case is discontinued. Also in my opinion, this case is better quality.


query: How many servings can one bottle provide?

pos: I use 10 drops in my coffee every morning and it lasts about a month or so. I can't tell that the drops are even in my coffee. Coffee is the one thing I haven't been able to give up, but this has worked for me - so I'm a believer!

pos: There are ~ 710 drops in the bottle. If you use 3 per serving then there are ~ 237 servings in a bottle.

pos: The directions say "3 drops in 8 oz. of water". We make up a quart at a time for drinking. We get quite a bit of water processed with one 1.25oz bottle. Love it! I have no more problems with acid from drinking coffee.

pos: I can't give you a specific answer. In my opinion it is a product that you can use regimentally or as you feel you need it. I don't use it regimentally. I am not too concerned about how long it lasts as much as how effective it is. If you think you need to use it according to the directions on the label perhaps you may want to buy pH strips to test the efficacy of the product. Although I am neither a dietician nor a health expert I have read that our diets contain an imbalance of acidic food products and that we should strive for a balance between acid and alkaline.

query: Does this fit a chicco car seat?

pos: Hey Guys!! Here is a full list of compatible car seats. http://www.joovy.com/ultralight.html -Anthony at Joovy

pos: Hey Guys!!Here is a full list of compatible car seats. http://www.joovy.com/ultralight.html-Anthony at Joovy

pos: Not 100% sure about specific seat brands, but this stroller fits most because the seat does not "snap in" to the frame. Instead it uses a big strap with a buckle that goes across the top of the infant seat. It is more secure than it sounds and I always felt like my baby was safe in her car seat when using this stroller.

pos: Unfortunately, I am not familiar with a chicco car seat. It will fit an infant car seat which has a carrying handle. It can not be an upright car seat, because it has to cradle inside the Joovy.


query: I have painted a bar top with Rustoleum Hammered Copper oil base paint. Will a pour of this epoxy work over the paint? Need depth and protection.

pos: Yes......It is amazing!!!!!! I love the coating....It shines so flawless....a thick coating with depth..... awesome!!!!! Make sure you mix it with a stick by hand.....not a paint mixer.....too many air bubbles......be sure to buy a Wagner heat gun.....pour it on the surface.....spread it with a plastic drywall knife......then use the heat gun to go over the surface.....air bubbles dissapear......it leaves a remarkable surface.....I am super happy with it


query: is this compatible with the apek 5 stage reverse osmosis system

pos: This faucet is a standard size and can easily replace the standard long reach drinking faucets that have the plastic (chrome with black plastic). I replaced the standard faucet that came with my water filter after the plastic handle kept loosing its grip and had to be replaced several times. No longer a problem.

pos: The dryer works just fine for me, I've had it for about a year with no issues

pos: Hi there. I bought this bag and have been drying it in the dryer on cold days and it works just fine. No damage.


query: what size battery does it need

pos: I think it takes either AA or AAA batteries. My daughter went to CVS and bought two packs of the batteries (one pack of each size) the day after I gave it to the kids.


query: what apps work best with mio?

pos: It works the same way with all of them. What is different is the analytics performed with the app using the Mio or any other monitor's data. And, what is preferred by you. Any bluetooth receiver captures the data. My favorite is RunMeter. Milo's own app was not enticing at all. Mapmyrun and Strava work well.

query: Does it play Full-Over-Under (1920*2160) and Full-Side-by-Side (3840*1080) 3D files?

pos: I've not tried it but for 3D movies you need the next model above, more expensive one.

pos: It plays frame-packed full resolution 1080p 3D, which I suppose is the same as full over-under. SBS is half-resolution, as in broadcast 3D. Can't do 23.96 fps in 3D (it can in 2D), frame rate is rounded up to 24 fps.

pos: I suggest you submit the question in the AVS forum. Here is the AVS Micca EP600 G2 thread http://www.avsforum.com/t/1367449/micca-ep600


query: Does thermostat require wiring? or can it optionally run on batteries?

pos: this thermostat requires 2 wires from the control unit for power- no batteries. The "thermostat" unit is really a touchscreen control unit- all the real brains are in the control module, which is best located close to the furnace- but can technically be anywhere you get good reception for the wireless units (be aware though that add-ons like sensors need to be wired into the control module- so plan ahead).

pos: The thermostat requires a two-wire cable to run 24 volts to the thermostat location. It cannot run on batteries like the other accessories, which require no wiring. I didn't find the wiring difficult. I just opened up the furnace and made sure that the G terminal on the furnace was connected to the G terminal on the wiring interface, etc. One tip - hook the thermostat to the wiring interface with a short length of two-wire cable while setting everything up to prevent running up and down the stairs a couple dozen times. Once everything is working, then turn the power off and install the thermostat at its permanent location. The thermostat requires a two-wire cable to run 24 volts to the thermostat location.

pos: It needs two wires for 24volts. Just installed one at my home. It's a great thermostat and the install is not difficult, just give yourself an afternoon to make it look nice. Make sure that the control unit can be mounted at least two feet from the thermostat.

pos: Cannot run on batteries; this is VERY complicated to install because of the remote control. The thermostat was easy, but I had to disconnect it because of the module that has to be connected to the furnace. Had 2 plumbers tell me to call an electrician.

pos: I am not a chemist, just a home owner. I will say however that I have had great success with Kill Zone. It is not as fast as I would like, It takes 7 to 10 days. It has worked for me. I have not tried it on crabgrass, and would expect it to fail that test.

pos: I have used to rid creeping woodsorrel, with very good results. Good on dandelions,,so-so on crabgrass. Must use two applications

pos: I have tried many products on creeping charlie and this one does work well. i use it at the highest recommended concentration in a tank sprayer.

pos: I have tried several weed killers for creeping Charlie and this does work. I used a tank sprayer and the highest recommended use level.


query: How does this unit compare to the Sonos system?

pos: Sonos is very good, however, the Klipsch is amazing. Better snatch it up. Audiovox is buying Klipsch. Audiovox is pure garbage and if they can't hold up to the high quality that Klipsch is known for, the Klipsch name will plummet. Hopefully there will be no change in quality.


query: What if I want to test an outlet where the third prong (round one) is above the 2 others, rather than above. Do the readings show on both sides?

pos: Yes. The indicating lamps are on the end of the tester opposite the plug end. The lamps can be readily seen in any orientation of the tester, even sideways. It is a good design and easy to use.


query: Is the paracord soft and malleable or is it stiff.

pos: I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

pos: I would say it is somewhere in between. Great to tie knots with. Very strong!


query: will it fit size 7 3/4

pos: Absolutely. My head is 7-1/4 (I have No hair!!). There is plenty of strap to adjust well past 7-3/4.


query: can you make salsa using this strainer?

pos: I haven't used it for making salsa. It would probably make it very smooth. I have pureed tomatoes to can and it is great for removing the skins and seeds. It is great for making pumpkin puree, any fruit puree, applesauce, tomatoes, etc. Last year I made applesauce by cutting the blossom end and bad spots off all the apples, quartered them and cook them in a big stock pot on med-low just until softened, then ran them thru the squeezo and it took care of the peels, seeds, cores, etc. Then I jarred the applesauce to process.

pos: I wouldn't recommend it unless you want liquid salsa. It is great for tomato juice and a

pos: I personally would not. The tomatoes are very runny / juicy after being put through the strainer. I use the tomatoes for bloody mary mix and marinara sauce after they are strained. Hope that helps!

pos: Hi Geoffrey, While I haven't tried it for salsa, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Depending on what kind of tomatoes you use, you will probably have to cook it down quite a bit to get the salsa to thicken though.

pos: I would not think it could as it removes the skin and seeds and pulverizes the pulp into juice. It is excellent for tomato juice. For my salsa, I cut the tomatoes using a knife. That way I can make it as chunky as I want.


query: what is the gear ratio of motor?

pos: There's no motor. There's a hand crank that is easy to operate. It takes 8 handle rotations to peel the apple, and another 7 rotations to complete the cycle. So the gear ratio is 15:1.

pos: There are no real gears. The only thing that peals the apples is your arm strength. Hope this helps. Martha


query: Can I run this across an Apple network?

pos: Yes, you can run a network of Apple devices (both MacOS and iOS) using these EnGenius devices. Apple supports the same encryption standards, IPv4, etc. I use mine in a mixed environment as well. No issue.

pos: Sure. Cannot say that I've actually tried it but see no reason why it would not work.

pos: If you are talking about 802,1g or n, I cannot see how it would make any difference what operating system you use. If I understand you correctly, yes Apple products can communicate over this device. I used both Microsoft and Apple products to set it up. Worked equally well with either product.

pos: I have it running on an apple network.... What type of configuration are you planning or what function dobyou want it to perform

pos: Yes, And very well!You will want two if you are running a VOIP over the same AP.

pos: I believe the answer is yes... Here are the specs: WPA/WPA2 Enterprise-level encryption, 802.1x support, MAC address filtering. We have a large campus and it solved all of our connection issues from the remotest part of our building. But as with anything on Amazon contact the manufacturer if you have any doubts.

pos: Yes, I have it running under a mixed environment and it is working well. It is acting as a access point and Macs and PC connect through it.


query: Will this work with a 2006 honda civic hybrid?

query: what kind of charger do you need to charge this case its dead and I tried multiple chargers on it and it will not take the charge

pos: Kevin - I just used the charger cable that came with my iPhone. I even used a cheap ($3.15) 10 foot 3rd party cable I bought online and it worked. If the actual iphone data cable that came with the phone isn't working I'm afraid to say it, but you might gave a defective case. :-(


query: It is self-leveling?

pos: Yes it is. Still very happy with it. If you can afford it you will be very satisfied. I've worked with the ones that spins and this one blows those away. I bought the pole also for when I hang cabinets. That works great to. Just remember to take batteries out of unit if storing for long periods of time and this thing will last forever.

pos: It is self leveling to a certain degree. You can't have it at laying at a 45 degree angle and expect it to self level, but if you get it close, it will self level.


query: Does anyone know if there is a difference between this and the Fosmon case? They look identical in the pics.

pos: If you mean the double hybrid kickstand case then no I don't see any difference. I didn't when I ordered. I am VERY happy with my case. It is actually 2 pieces, the silicone inner and the hard plastic outer, but they fit together perfectly.

pos: not for sure which one you are looking at in the Fosmon case line. the mpero has the kickstand. it is hard to open it, but it works good.


query: Is there latex in the materials used?

pos: I am not sure about the latex. I was comfortable with the fact that it is food grade plastic. We use them for toy storage and they are great for that purpose. Sorry that I cannot be more of a help. A call to the manufacturer or email would be your best bet. Good luck.

pos: I have used it to bathe my small dog. I know they mentioned it is food grade plastic but latex was not mention. I suggest you contact the manufacturer before you make your purchase.


query: Is it eligible for a laptop?

pos: If you're asking if it works with laptops, then yes. As long as your laptop has a USB port, then it works with laptops.

pos: yes it is functional with a laptop. you need USB port. It's also eligible for super saver.


query: This unit, works under windows 8 ??? If not, under which windows?

I am not familiar with the backpack that you have but I can tell you that his backpack is 1400 cu.in / 23L.

query: Does this lid work on Instant Pot IP-DUO50?

pos: I have the LUX-60 and it fits my pot. It should state in the description what pots if fits. Check other sites that sell it, or go to instantpot.com for more information.


query: does this product work with bicycles ?

pos: Contrary to what the description said, this product did not work on the tubed tires in my motorcycle. Therefore I would say it would not work on a bicycle tire.

pos: Would be overkill for bicycle. Would only fit shrader valve. They have bicycle specific kits that don't have plug kits that would be better.

pos: I cannot say it even works with motorcycles as fortunately, I have not needed to use it. I would, of course, be using it on a tubeless tire. Would you?

pos: i can't say for sure, but i think the compressed air would be too much for a bicycle tire. i think this is more of an automotive Kit.

pos: I sent it back because my husband said it did not work on bikes, that's why I bought it.

pos: it has regular patches and glue & the co2 tubes could be used for a bicycle, but also has tire plugs for motorcycle and auto, I would think there is a better choice out there for bicycles...hope this helps

query: What's the best way to clean these skillets?

pos: I am in my 70's and wash my iron cook wear like my grandmother did. After scraping with a spoon or spatula, I use a rough surface but non-scratchy scrub pad or cloth (I like the nylon knit squares) and water, sometimes with a very very small amount of dish soap, and the pan comes clean. Then I spray a dab of vegetable oil on and rub it around with my fingertips. I then heat the pan on the stove until the oil smokes and turn it off. After it cools I store it with a napkin in the pan between it any other pans. It's easy care. Essentially you have a non-stick surface pan that lasts forever. It is much "greener" than the modern light weight pans with non-stick coatings (these chip off into your food and stop working with the slightest scratch or overheating).

pos: While skillet is still warm, dump in some kosher salt. Scrub under running water with a sponge or stiff brush. Rinse. Sometimes I need to repeat until the salt stays white (esp true if I cooked up bacon). Dry completely and immediately. Use a little bit of grapeseed oil to protect the pan. You don't want to use soap, steel wool, or put the pan in the dishwasher as it will strip the pan's seasoning. You also don't want to soak the pan in water because the pan will rust.

pos: If its something stuck on I will scrub with a scouring pad or heat it up with some water in it and it'll come off. Then once dry oil it up and I store it in my stove.

pos: I use a Scotch Brite Non-Scratch scrub sponge, as soon after I'm done using the pan. I just run hot water, hold the pan in the sink (with a oven glove!) and clean off the pan. This works well, as no buildup deposits. I don't use soap. as the care instructions warn. This works great. Then, I let the pan cool, dry it off, and immediately treat the pan with a little vegetable oil. Fantastical results.

pos: Steel wool is fine. I use a sponge with a scotch Brite side but WITHOUT soap. You need to leave the oil on the skillet. If it is very dirty or has been buildup you can heat it up a little and srub it. There are also plastic scrapers that are sold on Amazon that are very handy.

pos: Wash lightly with soap & sponge when still hot. You dont want to scrub too much to keep it seasoned (or reseason it).If you get rust, scrub with steel wool, rinse, dry thoroughly, then oil and begin re-seasoning.

pos: I second what many others have said: no soap. Just scrub food off when it is still warm. Then I spray it with cooking oil to keep working at the seasoning.

pos: My experience (I've used iron skillets for 50 years) has been that using soap ruins the seasoning. I use hot water and a kitchen brush or sponge with the green scrubbing surface on one side). Baking soda or salt are excellent to use to clean. NEVER soak the cast iron in water--it rusts! In the past, I used shortening or vegetable oils for frying or seasoning my skillets, but I have found that coconut oil is greatly superior to use in my skillets. It handles high heat well and does a superior job seasoning the skillets and creating a non-stick surface (grapeseed or peanut oil are also good).


query: What is the diameter of the umbrella?

pos: The pole is 1" & (3/8)" diameter or 35 mm. Sorry for the mistype the figure and causing you confused. It's difficult to type a fraction number.

pos: The umbrella pole diameter is 3"/8 and umbrella open as around 9' wide in diameter tip to tip. You will need Tropishade 30 lbs bronze base to hold it and it fit well. Hope this help.

query: How long are they...inches? Thanks.

pos: They work fine. They do have the clip like pens. I hung a dust plug and have it hanging dpwn my phone


query: The listing is confusing. You state that it's "Organic Grown Raw" however the packaging doesn't show this information. Front/back pics would b helpful

pos: Chia is inherently raw - never heated. It is also grown on land that is in the process of organic certification (actually already has it) although we are still going through necessary steps to produce bags and certified facilities to package it. The chia is organic, and the certification for the actual bag, along with the certifying agency will appear on inventory in the next few weeks.


query: The faucets looks as if it is set high. Do you have problems with water splashing onto the counter?

pos: No problems at all. Water does not splash onto the counter. I love this faucet- and believe me I have had many over the years. I purchased it because my daughter in law has one and I liked it so much that I had to have it when we remodeled our kitchen.

pos: I have never had trouble with water splashing out of the sink unless I am trying to do just that.

pos: Not really.....I cook with a skillet 2x daily and it is so much easier to get under the water now. I really like it being tall

pos: I am using this faucet in my garage with a backsplash-wall guard and the water runs directly into a very deep sink, so it does not matter that it splashes. I love this faucet for the price. I can not tell how much water would splash into a more shallow sink. I think it would depend on your water pressure.

pos: It is set somewhat high (which is why I wanted it for my kitchen sink). The aerator attached to the product is built for a maximum flow of 1.5 gallons per minute (read: not a lot). I have not had splashing issues, even after replacing the aerator with a 2.2 gallon per minute version. Note, though, that this may depend on the size of your sink as well - mine is almost 36 inches wide and 20 inches from front to back.


query: does it fit into a civic

pos: I have a 05 corolla ce and it fits fine in there rear facing. Hope that helps.

pos: It's definitely a large carseat. I have a Jetta - which is a little bigger than a civic and it fits fine in the middle seat (we have it rear facing still). It could definitely fit in the side seats as well if necessary.


query: Does anyone know if the Cleaner & (or) the Aromatherapy tablets are still available?

pos: Sorry,but I returned this item because I didn't want to have to continue to buy the tablets.


query: I bought these but they do not work in my WG3 camera?

pos: Yes, they work just fine. I have been using them for several months and get about one hour of video recording time from each battery. I don't know if they will last for years and hold the change, but I have used them regularly so far as a professor to record class projects on the WG3. As far as the previous answer regarding putting them in backwards, the first time I put them in I just checked the placement of the contacts. The charger can take up to three hours to fully charge the battery, and again, you need to line up the contacts, but for the cost, I have been very satisfied. FnS Yes, they work just fine.

pos: make sure you put them in the correct way. I had it facing the wrong side and I thought they didn't work.


query: WHAT KIND OF TIRES SHOULD I BUY FOR THIS RIMS?

pos: It depends on what you are putting them on. Supply us with the year/make/model and we'd be happy to give you your options.


query: What is the weight capacity for this chair?

pos: It's quite a bit because my husband squeezes into all the time to read to my son and he weighs about 170ish. Hope that helps!

pos: Quite a bit - a 150lb adult with a 20lb lap child sit in ours all the time.

pos: It holds a 50 pound child with ease! It'll probably hold more weight than that but my grandkids are not that big yet.


query: Are these made with formaldehyde?

pos: It probably does ... but here's a link at Foremost that details their environmental responsibility. http://www.foremostgroups.com/page/indoor-furniture/environment. You can also contact them at customerservice@foremostgroups.com. I hope this helps.


query: Any suggestions as to how best to hang this from a horizontal beam on my front porch?

pos: Roger! If you are a fisher, you are in luck. If not, you are about to be. This thing has a thread that runs down the middle of it. This seems to be a small problem. If you tie it directly to the beam, it will twist up, get small, and pop like a multi part ballon. Take some fish line, and a leader. Tie the balloon spinner to your leader. That way it holds it's form even in a good cat. 3 wind. Tried it on an Air traffic control tower, and at 40 Knots it did well. bill

pos: I would suggest getting a high-curve hanging plant hook and attaching a small key ring to the spinner for a horizontal beam. If you're trying to attach it to a vertical beam, find yourself a small flag pole and hang it off of the end of that. Hope that helped!

pos: Attach a screw hook to the beam and hand the balloon. If you want it extended use an "s" hook that hangs on the screw hook

pos: I just used a simple hook. iIf you want to lower the balloon, I suggest using a bit of fishing line--it's flexible and won't break as easily as string.

pos: I got this for a friend in an assisted living facility. We hung it from her curtain rod and its beautiful. Maybe you could geta hook to hang it from. It is a little tricky to put together but once you get it assembled its a great idea and a great price. Good luck


query: this phone has dual sim card? how that works? what is the means of standby?

pos: Sorry, I can't answer this question because I don't use mine with a conventional carrier. I utilize the MagicJack app to make phone calls. I bought my BW Star to use as an internet and multimedia device only--the MagicJack app just happened to be released and it is quite good. It offers better service than my Tracfone. By the way, the BW Star device is a very good device and I highly recommend it. If I do replace it, it will be because I want a slightly larger phone.


query: I'm looking for a color that is closer to grayish-sage, definitely not lime, teal or aqua. Is this bottle green color really greyish green, closer to

pos: I would definitely not call this set teal or aqua. I call this "sage" when i look at it. I don't see any blue in it at all. I think if you are looking for a "grayish-sage," this could work for you. Just be sure to check the return procedures. I've never had a problem returning anything I bought on Amazon, though. Good luck.

pos: Hard to anwser exactly what color of green it really is. There is no greyish look about it, more like a very light dim sage green. Definetely no lime color about it. No teal or aqua greenish look either. It is a type of green that would match the colors sage or moss green decor. The photo is pretty darn accurate, other than it is a bit dimmer than photo. Hope this helps!


query: Does it have bumpers on the bottom and back side.This would probably fit a Martin DC-16GTE My D-28 and 16 gte fit in the same case very well..

pos: If by "bumper" you mean padding around the inside of the sides, then yes. There is about 1/2" of padding around the sides. The bottom of the case also adds about a 1/2" & the inside of the lid has padding as well, except for where the lower neck of the guitar would go.

pos: it's got bumpers all over it; back, bottom and hinge sides. fits all the acoustics and semi-hollow bodies I have. very versitile case

pos: Yes, it has three metal bumpers on the backside and four on the bottom (when the case is placed upright).

pos: very possible if I have an Epiphone Acoustic-Electric Guitar EEDVVBNH1, Violinburst, Epiphone EEDVVBNH1 Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Violinburst

pos: Yes, it has 4 bumpers pegs on the bottom, and 3 on the back side(1 on the neck, and 2 on the body area.)


query: Can anyone tell me how these hold there suction in heavy humidty as I plan on buying and taking to Sri Lanka

pos: It will work better in high humidity. You get a better seal by wetting the pads.

pos: I can certainly tell you that the suction is maintained in the rain. I live in a temperate climate and have not had a problem. The instructions do suggest wetting the surface of the vehicle prior to attaching the suction cups. From a theoretic standpoint I would be concerned about attaching the suction and then experiencing a rapid and dramatic change in temperature. However if the suction is starting to diminish the indicator on the pump will start to show and it can be pumped again to increase the vacuum.


query: Can I just slap these into my 2006 honda civic? Or do I need to put a xenon kit or new wiring kit?

pos: They just plug into your factory harness. I must say they work great also. I got HID low beans and these were the only ones I found to outshine them!


query: Do you always need wifi to take a picture?

pos: Yes and no. It can work completely independently from your phone, as there is a built-in microSD slot to save your photos, a dedicated zoom rocker and a shutter button; you just won't have your LCD to preview the photos. If you want to preview or frame your photos with your phone's screen, however, it will always need to be connected via wifi.

pos: It has its own Wi-Fi built-in. You connect your phone to the camera in the same way as connecting the phone to any other wifi access point.

pos: To clarify maxmasa's answer, connected to the DEVICE via WiFi. Not connected to an external WiFi network. This device uses WiFi direct to connect to your phone.


query: can i design stationary

pos: Yes, had not thought about stationary. I design my own Christmas cards and note cards/birthday cards. Using my own photos or drawings. Print them out for use. Scan a photo etc. and save to use on note cards etc. Fun to use your own imagination or photos instead of graphics in the program.


query: CAN YOU USE THEM IN THE OVEN?

pos: Not entirely sure, I don't know. I've never tried it. Not sure if the handles are made for the oven.

pos: They can not be used in an oven. The handles are bakelite therefore they can not be placed in an heated oven. knight68

query: Can I play the same music in zone 1 and 2

pos: Beware.. zone 2 doesn't support all inputs, including those of the HDMI variety. See the cautionary review (one of the first displayed) for more details.

pos: of course. you can set zone 2 to be any of the sources, including source which meanswhatever I have set in zone 1. I feel that is the typical setting...


query: does the case add any weight or feel in a bad way?

pos: No, none over all it's great. However as noted in the earlier post I am only using the top piece, the bottom was defective and repeated contact to the company got no response. The top piece is great, feels great, I could have just received the 1 in 1000 crappy bottom part that miss QC.


query: Does this controller require software or is it plug and play? If it does require software, does it have a heavy footprint?

pos: I use Win 8 and the actual drivers are in the OS. In other words it will work as a simple volume control knob right out of the box. There is configuration software which makes it much more useful. It's under 3mb.

pos: Yes it does require software to drive it and set it up. At least to use it how I use it. No heavy footprint. I use as a keyboard space bar key stroke, because the space bar is not present to the user.


query: Has anyone successfully built the alien per the schematic included? I believe there is an error in their calculation of pieces. Any one else?

pos: My kids built something that resembled the Alien, although they did use the instructions they ended up changing the design and adding the wheels from their other zoob car kit to it so I cannot say for certain it was possible with the instructions given


query: Is this the older style red banded Portasol not the PP-1 orange themed new one? I am asking because the new PP-1 has terrible gas flow control

pos: I have not tried it yet. I will let you know when I do but it was stored. ....

pos: It's a different one cuz this is a weller and portasol one U r talking about one only portasol branded


query: Is the post supposed to be fixed to the base? If so, is there hardware or is it glued? Mine won't stay in the holder.

pos: My twine holder was delivered with the post and base separated and would not stay together - I could see there was some glue on the post - I contacted Amazon and asked if I should attempt to fix the item or return it - Amazon customer service said the twine holder was broken and sent me a refund - Good luck -

pos: The dowel holding the twine is fixed so only the twine should spin. I believe it is glued since I do not see hardware on the bottom holding it. It sounds like yours may be defective.

pos: Mine is firmly fixed to the base; there does not seem to be any extra glue on the bottom, nor is it fixed via a screw at the bottom.

pos: My post (twine spindle holder) arrived completly attached (glued) in place to the base.get a nice sized needle that has a curve on the end for sewing up your goodies...I use mine all the time !

pos: Yes it is supposed to be attached. Mine is attached by a small Phillips screw. I haven't had any problems with mine and find it very useful.

pos: You must have a defective one. It should be attached, probably glued. There isn't any hardware.


query: average life of this machine Can anyone offer infomation on the average lifespan of this machine? Is it reliable to last over a year?

pos: Freddie-I don't have the YM-9 model, I have the original GM-7 made in 1974. Works fine. Salton products are here to stay. And no I don't work for the company, but I sure love yogurt. I've got one complaint though. I want a machine that makes bigger batches. I can't keep up with consumption.Candy


query: is this product boxed? And when does it expire?

pos: This product is boxed and I see no expiration date on it. I'm 63 and always looked younger then my years and this product is amazing but like all things it takes awhile but when you first put it on you will see a difference. I hope this helps.

pos: I don't remember if it was boxed; but it is an amzing product that goes on lightly and feels great and also a great price. it doesn't have an expiration date stamped on the container. None of the products from Algenist have an expiration date not even ones you buy in retail stores. hope this helps

pos: This product is boxed and I see no expiration date on it.I'm 63 and always looked younger then my years and this product is amazing but like all things it takes awhile but when you first put it on you will see a difference.I hope this helps.

pos: Yes, product is boxed, however since this is a sample size, there is no exp. date. I ordered the Firming & Lifting Cream, and the Overnight Restorative Cream, both of which I love. This is a good way to sample these products before you buy the bigger sizes because, it's very expensive! Hope this helps!


query: How do you adjust knee height? The paddle doesn't seem to change it.

pos: You might have to use the paddle a few times. The front paddle handles seat height. Is that knee height? It takes the seat up and down. The middle paddle locks the seat angle. The back paddle locks the seatback angle. Down is lock, the up position is unlock

pos: If you mean the overall height of the seat the front paddle adjusts this. When you pull the front paddle up, if you are sitting on the chair it will lower, if you are out of the chair it will raise. If you mean the tilt of the seat then the middle paddle locks/unlocks the seat tilt, and there is a tension adjustment under the seat. The rear paddle locks and unlocks the recline of the seat back.

pos: If you want the chair to lower and you are short, you might ask a heavier & taller friend to sit in the chair to lower it.I had too. I couldn't reach the paddle and sit at the same time and I am only 5'1".


query: I know it says Set of 2 bar stools at the top of the page, but it only shows 1 bar stool in the picture. Does it come with 1 or 2 bar stools?

pos: Set of 2 and I Luke how they are adjustable heights and these are very nice for the price. Very pleased with our purchase

pos: Yes. It comes with two. Also, assembly instructions didn't come with them but I figured it out looking at the picture.

pos: I ordered 2... and I recieved 4 stools - 2 in each set. so it definitely comes with 2 stools.


query: Are the back cushions attached?

pos: No; the back cushions are not attached, but I feel like the sofa is comfortable and am glad I bought it.


query: will this cut and singe the ends of paracord?

pos: Yes, but I would recommend holding the blade against the end cut for a few additional seconds to make sure it seals.

pos: I don't think so.......i only used it on styrofoam and it worked well for that

pos: It will cut nylon rope, but I am not sure if it will singe the cord. I would think you would need a flame to do that well.


query: How does one adjust the grind. The manual is in Japanese

pos: It's the same mechanism as the Hario Skerton grinder. Unscrew the nut that retains the handle, pull up the stopper that keeps the adjustment where you set it & turn the screw left or right for coarse or fine. Good video instructions can be found by googling "Hario Grinder Adjustment."

pos: Hello Grandpa in NC, I'm a retired Grand pa in Guangzhou, China. I hope the Following helps you. I got the information from the Internet.

query: can be used with tv?

pos: I think it can be if you have a audio and a USB supported tv.a I use it on my pc

pos: I have not tried it with the TV. Anyway, I don't think it's powerful enough to enhance the TV sound. It is great for the computer. It makes the sounds, especially conversations, much clearer.

pos: It has a standard mini stereo plug that you would plug into your phone or ipod, so if your tv has a headphone-out jack it should be ok. It is also USB powered, so you need a USB power supply as well.


query: can you tell me if this seat come with the passenger's back rest as well? or do I need to order Sissy bar separate. Thanks

pos: No it don't come with a passenger back rest. You have to order the sissy bar.

pos: Hi no it only the driver seat with back rest, the passengers seat and back rest you need to order them separately and it's arealy comfortable seat for long rides if you like the look of the seat on your bike regards and ride safe


query: is it made in the USA as is written in the specs ?

pos: Does it really matter anymore? Even when things are made in the USA, they are most often made by non-Americans anyway.

pos: No, the sticker on the back says made in China like almost everything else these days

pos: Yes, the sticker says China; however, in this instance, regardless of where it's made, I would buy another one. I, like you, prefer USA, but this fan is low noise, metal, and well-made. I use it to cool heat sinks on ham radios, not for personal comfort. Although, that works too!

pos: It clearly states in product details that it's made in China. Where did you get USA at?

pos: You know I did not check and it is my RV so not easy to check right now but it is VERY well made! I am very happy with it.


query: Does this device come rooted?

pos: The unit is not rooted. Check forums for routing device. I've not rooted mine and have had zero problems. Forum.xda-developers.com. also some links on geekbuying.com website about rooting.

Has anyone successfully replaced the foam cushions on this headset? I purchased the Koss replacement cushions but my original cushions seem to be glued on, and I'm afraid the replacements will fall off without glue, too.Help! « Show Less

pos: Yes, I have. You have to be very careful removing/loosening the speaker portion from the headset. This will allow you to slide the old cushions out and put the new cushions on. It's a pain in the arse but it's worth it once it's done.

pos: I have. I used a small screwdriver and using a gentle prying motion, snapped the driver out of the headband assembly. Pretty easy to do, and the driver will pop off. It easily snaps back on with a firm press. The foam cushions are held on by plastic pins along the edge of the driver, no glue or adhesive. They are really hard to take off without removing the driver assembly. Just realign and use your fingers/thumb to snap it all back together.

pos: Search Amazon for "Koss replacement cushions". They come in a set of 6 (three pairs) and fit these headphones as well as the PortaPro and KSC75 and a few others.

pos: I have been using a pair of these headphones for several years. They continue to work great, but the cushions are beginning to peal off of the earpieces. I did not think of looking for replacements for the cushions to replace them. Instead I bought a new set of headphones. But I would like to try to repair the old ones to save some cash for next time. Will you share where you purchased the replacement cushions? I have used my headphones with several different mp3 players but none of them were ipods.


query: One of the handles does not work, will not let me attach the hooks to it, do they make replacements handles?

pos: I have had a handle not work for me. I ended up buying a whole new set. I would contact the company and tell them you've got a defective part and see if they'll replace it. There are no handles sold separately for this kit that I know of. Good luck.


query: Is Amazon screwed up? It says the 205/75r14 doesn't fit my car, yet that's what's on it now and the only size online tire dealers show for my car.

pos: Yes, I have a 1990 Buick Lesabre that came factory with 205/75r14. Although the 205/70r14 looks better and is purchased more often,my experiance is that the 205/75r14 rides better with longer tire life. The suspension was obviously designed for that size. Note: As far as ride quality goes - be careful when replacing struts. I replaced the struts with 2 differnet (complete assembled)struts before deciding to use the original springs assembled onto new struts. That was the only way I could retain the orginal ride quality.

pos: Amazon says this doesn't fit my truck, but this is the size show on the sticker on the door jam. This is an optional size for my model truck, so I think Amazon only shows the standard sizes for a vehicle.


query: What is your guarantee? If it stops working in 5 years, 10 years , or in my lifetime, what can I expect in the way of a warranty?

pos: That's a frivolous question. I've had it for six months and it's perfect. Well built and no reason to suspect failure!

pos: They have included a 2 year Manufacturer Warranty. If it breaks or fails, they will replace it.

pos: There is a 60 day money back guarantee. If for any reason you are unhappy with our scale, let us know and we will refund your money, no hassle.

pos: As far as I can tell, there is a 30-day return policy through Amazon. After that, they say that you can contact them about an extended guarantee. It doesn't appear promising to me about a warranty that far out. I've had mine for about 2 months. Works great, so far.

pos: I have had the scale for over 2 months and have not have any issues. If you take care of the scale i don't foresee any issues. It is built well and and works great. Do you expect a lifetime warranty on a scale, when you do not get a lifetime warranty on life. Lets be realistic!


query: What is the sound quality like?

pos: I've been really impressed, for the price I don't think there's much better

pos: The sound quality is good. It strikes a nice balance with its extended bass and clear mid-tones. I have other, cheaper headphones; a direct comparison shows just how much richer the sound is from this headphone.

pos: Depends on music type. The bass is nice. Electronic music sounds real nice. Rock/metal could use some work.

pos: It sounds very well. Excellent material quality. Excellent feel on my ears, no problem using them for two or more hours


query: Why do so many buy the older model? shows that most people (65% vs 17%) buy the older model instead of this one.

pos: Well, LaCie's spec sheet states "Cache Size: 16MB or greater." This vagueness says to me that the actual disks may vary. Peeking through the grille, the drive is a standard 3.5 in. form factor; one cannot see the label without voiding the warranty. My disk tools do not yield anything more detailed than USB or Firewire device numbers. The influence of cache size on write speed greatly depends on the data characteristics. Speedups will be small for big sustained writes, but will be noticeable for writing many small files or fragments. For writing 1 GiB of data, I get: 69 MiB/s over FW800 27 MiB/s over USB 2.0 Both rates are quite reasonable. -- Tested on an empty HFS+ formatted disk on a 24" Al iMac on Mac OS X using the command: time bash -c 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/Volumes/LaCie/BIG bs=1m count=1024; sync' Note that "dd" gives a transfer rate on its own; the extra "sync" and "time" is to evaluate the effect of the OS cache, which turns out to be minor, < 1%.
