query: Does it supports 50 - 60 hz ??

pos: it will output 50 or 60hz, whatever frequency you input. So if you input 240v/50hz it will output 110v/50hz. The frequency (Hz) does not get converted like the voltage does. So these step down convertors are not recommended/ideal for using with appliances with motors as it apparently puts more stress on the motor as it runs slower if you run at 50hz rather than the original (if a US appliance) 60Hz. Saying that, I have 5 of these step down transformers in various Wattages and they all so far work well and I do use the 3000w one on a wine fridge that does indeed have a compressor motor and after 6 months no issues so far. I expect it may shorten the life of the motor. Hope this helps

pos: I am not sure, I bought it to use it for my 110 appliances in Africa. But when I shipped it the shipping company did not deliver it until I left Africa. Now it is working with my Fridge, microwave and an AC unit. but I am not 100% sure about the 50-60hz.

query: What are the actual size of the rollers that are included? Seems like anything to do with this product as for description is lacking size info.

pos: the small is about 1/2 diameter, medium is 3/4" and large is 1" but NOT really because when rolled tight enough to hold the culer in it scrunches down so the medium is a tight cur (if it dries) and the small is a kinky perm curl. I have very short hair so the large won't go around my hair enough to hold it in place so I don't know how it does. I am back to using curling iron. Wish someone made hot roller strictly for short hair.

pos: I have four sizes- the first three listed below are included in the set. The actual foam diameters are:The large/jumbo is 1.5",Medium is 1"Small is .75"Petite is .5"As everyone else notes, if you wind tighter, the foam compresses and yields a tighter curl.

pos: It includes a few small, medium, and large. You can also purchase additional curlers of any size that you may need. I use 6 large and 2 medium each time I set and have always had plenty of curlers left over.

pos: My set has small, medium, large, and jumbo sizes. There is really no dimensions because the tighter you wind your hair on the foam portion of the roller, the more curl you will have. I have below shoulder length hair and I alternate the large and jumbo sizes. I don't use the small at all.

pos: I have four sizes- the first three listed below are included in the set. The actual foam diameters are: The large/jumbo is 1.5", Medium is 1" Small is .75" Petite is .5" As everyone else notes, if you wind tighter, the foam compresses and yields a tighter curl.

pos: Unfortunately, since my hair is short, some of the rollers are too big for me in this set.


query: Is this a complete klt with exhaust duct and plate.

pos: no. This unit is very good and super quite. you can hardly hear the exhaust fan and the heater does a very good job of heating the bathroom

pos: No. You will need to purchase 6" ducts and the hardware necessary to either go through your roof or soffit. It does come with a damper to prevent downdrafts.

pos: no you will need to purchase the 6 inch duct and roof vent. This unit is very good and super quite. you can hardly hear the exhaust fan and the heater does a very good job of heating the bathroom


query: Does it charge the phone?

pos: This cable DOES NOT have power pass through to the phone or tablet, it only injects power into the USB device.

pos: The cable does NOT charge my Samsung Galaxy S4. It works as stated for data transfers and periferals like a mouse or keyboard but the external power appears to be only for the device you plug in. Incidentally, I could only read external hard drives that were in FAT32 format.

pos: That would be dependent on the phone and if Power Over OTG was enabled on it.


query: Can the 2.5 inch drivers produce rich quality sound? I'm looking for a small center speaker to add to my Pioneer BS22's to add some depth..

pos: If by rich quality you mean frequencies down to bass level, I'd say no. I bought them for the clarity they give center-channel voices. For that they are excellent, and they blend nicely into my left and right channels where much of the bass sound comes from anyway.

pos: For the size of this system, it certainly blends in with the rest of my surround sound and gives both classical & jazz some extra realism.

pos: If I had to do it all over again, I would invest in a larger, more powerful speaker.

pos: I think so. I was impressed with the sound and the clarity of the NS-310BL's. They make a great enhancement to my front Yamaha tower speakers.


query: Will it fit my wrist if my wrist is 9 inches in circumference?

query: What is the fluid oz of each of these bottles. Are they standard size or minis?

pos: i would say there standard size i have been using daily and i still have over half left very good product

pos: It is 1.2 Fl oz and is the standard size bottle. It lasts about 3-4 months used daily and is far less expensive on Amazon then at the mall. I've used it a few years and love it!

pos: Hi Anne - I purchased my eye care at a mall kiosk and it was a taller green bottle. This looks like a smaller size to me.It's a great product so you might like to try the smaller size first to see if you like it too before purchasing the full size.

pos: I don't know the fluid ounces of the top of my head, but they are standard size. If you purchase them at the mall they are much much more expensive, so this is a great deal and the products last for a few months.


query: Is the trackball "loose" where a flick of the thumb will whip the pointer arrow from one end of the screen to the other?

pos: The speed of the pointer is much faster with this wireless mouse than what it is with your regular USB connected mouse. If you use windows go to the control panel and set the preference for the mouse pointer speed to whatever you feel comfortable with.

pos: not that lose, it is very fast and sloppy. The ball also rattles when shaken. The device only works part time.


query: Will this spoil the finish on cars?

pos: Your mileage may vary due to difference in finishes, but I used many repeated applications (with a lot of elbow grease) to remove some orange paint from a small construction vehicle that backed into it, and the orange paint came off with no damage to the finish on my car.

pos: I got a small amount on the finish on my black BMW, wiped it off immediately and there was no residual effect.


query: Can this safe be opened with out the key pad?

pos: Yes. It comes with a key. That way when the battery on the keypad runs out you don't have to call a locksmith to open it

pos: Yes , take out the keypad by turning it and use the key provided with the safe

pos: Yes, in case you forget the compo or the keypad fails. You remove the keypad as you do to replace the battery. There is a hole there and the give you a very long key to access the safe.


query: what color is this quinoa?

pos: Its the cream color. I bagged mine into ziplocks and froze them (its a seed so can go rancid). I was very happy with this purchase.

query: Does the light stay on in a "dim" mode once dusk hits? Or does it stay off completely until motion is detected and then shut off completely again?

pos: It stays off until motion is detected stays on for a short time then goes off again. My kids love theirs and they bought a second one.

pos: The one I received stays off until it is activated by motion after dusk. It comes on and stays on for a short time then goes back off.

query: What size eggs can be used? I always boil "LARGE SIZE. Pls adv

pos: Hi Carl I am so sorry it took me awhile to answer your question. But yes large eggs work in this product just fine we use that size the majority of the time its quick and easy to use we love it, just make sure to put enough water in the base so that the eggs cook completely through I hope this helps.

pos: Yes. I always use large size eggs. One tip I learned through trial and error though is that you want to cool the eggs after cooking at room temperature. Don't chill them immediately to stop the cooking or they will be underdone.


query: Can I record more than 30 minutes with Flip Ultra HD?

pos: Yes, as it states right in the title and the features section of the ad, you can film up to 2 hours of high definition video with the Flip Ultra HD.


query: what is the minimum and maximum lenght adjustements?

pos: the max is about 19 to 20 ins. and the min. is only a couple, I have it hooked up in the back seat of a mini cooper,so I don't have alot of room,but I have a small dog so it just fine for me.

pos: The length of the entire apparatus is about 13inches at its smallest to about 20 inches at its longest including the hook at the end


query: Has anyone succeeded in using this in a fixture where you also have a light socket adapter in place? Can it accommodate that added length?

pos: Probably not. The opening on the bottom would allow the lamp to protrude and accommodate the extra length, but then the bulb wouldn't really be protected, unless the bulb was very short to begin with.

pos: I have it in a dog house with a light scoket with a regular bulb in it. It works great. There is room left over but I don't know what an adapter looks like. Will look one up on line. Just looked adapter up. Can you describe yours as there are a lot of different ones.The dog loves to read at night :)All kidding aside, it keeps her warm in the winter.Edit: I just check the light cage and with the regular light bulb in there is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches left.

query: Heatmax Hot Hands 2 Expiration?? Does anyone know what the expiration date is for this product on Amazon (ASIN: B0007ZF4OA)???

pos: I bought mine four years ago from Amazon and am using them right now (0 degree temp outside!!!). I think they may put out a little less heat than they once did (though I'm not sure about that), but they're definitely still usable. Seven hours on, they're keeping my hands very cozy.

pos: According to the company, they have a shelf life of 4 years. However, there's no way of knowing exactly how long the batch you buy has been sitting around...

pos: The date is printed on the outside of the box and on the edge of each packet? The pictures avoided those places so I could not see the date. Seeing the discounted price, I guess these are close to the expired date.

pos: So true. I've ordered these many times and have ever had a problem until my last order, which I placed with BP Medical Supplies. I'd say stay away from that company as many of the individual packs had hardened and were unusable. Others did not stay warm for the six to seven hours that I need them. When I contacted the company, they merely replied, "this is strange as this is brand new stock from the manufacturer." No offer to replace, and not even an apology!!

query: Will this work with Lenovo ideapad Z570?

pos: The best way to tell is to look up the correct memory needed either on Amazon as sometimes the store lists the item by brand, model etc. or to look on the www at the manufacturers website directly.

pos: Yes it will. Be aware though, that the laptop only supports 8 gb max, so figure out the size other 2 sticks of ram. Depending on the version you have, its a 2gb and a 4 gb (for a total of 6gb), and get accordingly. You may better spend your money on a 4gb stick instead.

query: Is there any way to use this in the car? Is there a way to plug this into the car so you can play your music in the car? That's my main consideration in buying one. thanks!

pos: If you have an auxilliary jack on your car stereo system, you can play any portible mp3 player on your car stereo. You just plug one end of the cord into the headphone jack of your player and the other end into the auxilliary jack of your car stereo. Then you set your car stereo to AUX. My husband had this kind of stereo installed in my truck for me. Works great! I can listen to anything that's on my mp3 player and not have to carry CD's around.

pos: If you have a cassette player in your car, you can buy an adapter and plug one end into the earphone jack of the player and the other end into the cassette player. If you have a CD Player, it wil only work if you have an auxillary jack on the CD Player. If you have neither, you can buy a FM Transmitter that will wirelessless play on your FM Radio. However, the sound quality of FM is not as good.

I purchased a Shure wireless microphone and it's sound was not that good. When I called Kodak, was told it can not record in stereo, only in mono. They also told me @ Kodak that wireless mics did not work.

pos: I don't know the answer to your question but I will tell you that I bought, paid for it, tried it - it tasted like a powdered diet drink- awful! I was charged $7.00 to return it. I will not buy food products over the internet unless I have already tried it from the store to make sure I like it. This product does not even come close to tasting good!

pos: hi marcia,this has a 11-1/4" rise and a 7-1/4" drophope this helpsthanksfranktrailer depot of sarasota

pos: Not enough information. Other factors affect the geometry. For example, "tongue weight" will cause the tow vehicle rear end to drop lower by an uncertain amount (depending on vehicle rear suspension stiffness). Most shanks have multiple settings for height adjustment. There are other factors than matching up the height of the ball/coupler to consider. Also, consider shank ground clearance.

query: I need a flexable infrared pad, any thoughts would be appreciated

pos: The infrared pad is bendable. You can bend it around the arm or leg for instance. I do not know what you mean by flexable?

pos: It's flexible and conforms to body shapes. Not real large but works nicely.

pos: The pad here (the mini) is very flexible. I wrap it around my knee but you could also wrap it around an arm. It flexes in between the jade disks.

pos: This definitely gets hot hot hot. I have a blister on my butt as a reminder. You definitely need to use through several layers or only on the lower settings. I can't say I noticed any difference in relief between this and my traditional heating pad. One thing I didn't care for was there was no way too use more than 90 minutes at a time. Mine did seem to be a quality product and the 2 blisters I got are definitely my fault. Oh, and yes it is pretty flexible and comes with a strap that will help hold it to your leg.

pos: Not very flexible due to heating stones. May be good for wrapping your upper leg.

query: How does this lens compare to the 24-85mm?

pos: I've owned both lenses, and in my opinion for use with FX cameras the AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens is a better lens than the old 24-120mm f/3/5-5.6G. The 24-85G is sharper, especially at the edges; it's lighter; and its VR function works better. Of course, you give up the extra range, but I've found that 85mm is adequate for most general photography.

pos: i dont have the 24 85mm to truly give you a comparison. but according to a few reviews and test i saw the 24 85mm has a slightly better sharpness wile the 24 to 120 has more focal length. so it depends on what you are going to be shooting and what you want to pay for your lens.and fyi if you go for a 24 to 120mm i dont reccomend this version of it as its one of nikons worst modern lenses . get the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR its the revised version and supost to be a better lens. or if you really want focal length the 28mm to 300mm hope this helps

I found some great informaion about this product at http://www.gyrostools.com/Rotary-Tools---*Dremel%C2%AE-Type/c65/p474/PowerPro-Cordless-Rotary-Tool-Kit/product_info.html . I recommend purchasing a keyless chuck that way you can use your rotary tool like a typical drill.

pos: I only use the fine and ultra-fine drill bits, so I can't help you there. Suggest contacting the manufacturer. Regards. M


query: How does this router compare to the Bosch colt?

pos: You know, I don't know I can give you a great answer. I just know I loved my other Makita tools before this purchase, and I liked the feel of this unit when I saw it in stores. Works excellent, btw. Very easy to handle and weight distribution is nice. I was routing through redwood, so soft, but it felt like it had plenty of power for harder woods.

pos: Aloha Bokubob, I cannot answer your question as to which one is better. I own the Makita and I am very happy I made that choice. Just take a look at the two side by side and you will see the difference, there's no comparison there Bokubob, it's apples and oranges. you get what you pay for. the Makita has it hands down, every time. Take a look at the attachments they're just that much better made, the Makita has it my choice and it is wonderful to work with, Go Makita it won't let you down. God speed Brother.


query: i read the description again and cannot tell what are the 3g bands can you assist?

pos: 850Mhz & 1900Mhz compatible with AT&T , T- Mobile in US , Claro , Tigo , Movistar , Digicel and others in America

query: Can I use this to make noodle? what will be the size of the noodle?

pos: No, it wouldn't work, it will "rice" potatoes or eggs, but they come out so short/small/fine, noodles wouldn't stay together, better off with pasta maker

pos: I don't think so. It is great to make a fine mashed potato, but not noodles.

pos: No way. You need something like the KitchenAid KPEXTA Stand-Mixer Pasta-Extruder Attachment (it sounds like you're talking about extruded shapes rather than flat cut shapes for which KitchenAid KPRA is excellent though the included recipe is dull and will not make pasta any better than what you can buy, so why bother? Michael Ruhlmann and Wolfgang Puck pasta recipes work well.


query: Does this timer works with LED light bulbs?

pos: Yes, it works with LED bulbs. I am an Electrical Contractor and these are the best timers I have ever used. I have never had a "call back" on these timers. Great product.

pos: Yes, I have two of these timers and both are operating LED bulbs perfectly.

pos: Julia P., this switch should work with any lights that are on the circuit. I did not have LED light bulbs attached, but this switch simply turns an existing circuit on and off. So whatever you had attached to the circuit before will work the same. Hope that helps.


query: will this fit in my garmin 40?

pos: Yes, according to the Garmin website. You probably need to format it. The instructions should be in your Garmin Nuvi 40 manual.

pos: You need to check the spec sheet for your unit. You can find it on the Garmin web site. If it accepts a MicroSD card then this storage device should work on your unit. The biggest issue is what size to get since that will depend on the maps you want to download to your Garmin. I installed a 4GB storage device and it was just large enough to hold the maps for the lower 48 states. If you want to download more maps, (i.e. Canada, etc.) than that you will need a larger storage device.

pos: I agree with the previous answer. It works in my 1450 but I don't know if it fits all Garmin models.


query: Is the shipping worldwide or just in the United States?

pos: May I know which country are you in? As this one is sold on Amazon_US, so it can only be shipped to United States. If you have any questions, please fell free to contact us via support@ianker.com.


query: do you have to pay $15.00 for the bonus parts and the AC charger?

pos: The simple answer is no, the bonus parts and charger are included in the price, but I got my first black s107g just before x-Mas. It was around 35 dollars. I have since bought 2 more blacks for around 30 dollars, 1 red s107, 1 blue s107, 1 s109, and an MSU helmet copter. All of them were about 12 to 15 dollars less than the blacks. I believe that the bonus parts and ac charger are well worth the extra money. I have only used 1 little part since December but it's nice to know they are there as many times as I have crashed. These little things are very durable and really a lot fun.

pos: No, they are included in the price. I suggest you add a small item or add on item to boost your total to $35.00, then you get free shipping as well.


query: Whats with the charger on the heli? Ive bought two helis in three months.the female socket is loose and it breaks off the circuit board.

pos: I have not experienced this issue. The connector does look delicate so I have always been carefull.

pos: I don't know, I am still on my original helicopter with no problems. I take care to be gentle when I charge it but I have not had any problems with the helicopter at all.

pos: I heard that was an issue with others but I never had the problem. I was always careful to be very when plugging the charger in.


query: Will this camera take a shotgun microphone?

pos: Sorry, I couldn't say. Be careful buying this camera. The one I bought turned out to be the European model, HDR-PJ790VE, set up for PAL recording in spite of its data plate and the box both of which insisted it was an HDR-PJ790V set up for NTSC recording. You can't tell looking at it. It's not until you get into the camera menu in the area addressing frame rate that it becomes obvious. I guess the factory in China goofed.


query: If I was going to put on Windows Home server 2011 would this work?

pos: It meets the requirements, that is, 64 bit windows, over 2gb ram, over 1.4ghz processor, over 160gb had etc. However, this computer is generally slow.


query: is this for a 9-speed or an 8-speed cassette?

pos: This for a 2x8, you can see the instructions on Shimano: http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/2300/SI_6SF0A_001/SI-6SF0A-002-ENG_v1_m56577569830683910.pdf


query: Does this mount come with the screw and the clasp to attach to a tripod stand?

pos: No it does not. It has a spot on the bottom where any tripods screw and clasp can fit in it though. I have three different tripod stands and my Makayama fits all three.


query: HELP. I misplace the paperwork and I don't know how to unscrew the top off the torch in order to fill up the tank. Thank you

pos: You have to push down on the top and screw off. A couple I have take some effort but it can be done

pos: This is a child safety top. You need to push down on the cap and turn it counter clockwise. When you push down there is a small tab that will line up with a notch and once that catches, it starts to unscrew. Do the same to close and tighten

pos: Press and hold the metal wick holder down (springy) and twist. It should unscrew then.


query: I'm building a tiny home and should i buy this or a slightly larger model/ "normal" small washer.Concerned about water/power use ?

pos: Are you going to be living in the house full-time? I live in a condo and use this to keep up on socks and underwear year-round and then use it for everything in the summer (because I can line dry). If you're not going to be there full-time, I'd go with this. If you are going to be there full-time I'd suggest this if you are looking to save money initially and then get a compact unit, they have excellent ones that are a washer and dryer and fit in the kitchen (it seems weird in America, it's common in Europe).

pos: the power use and the water use is minimal, i live in a small apartment with two small kids and it works perfectly.

pos: Get the best washing machine for the space.I've had 3 Base Camps. They have been good about replacing them when they inevitably stop working. These machines are good in a pinch, but little else.


query: Has anyone had success using this to clip the radar to the headliner? If you made any modifications please describe.

pos: I modified the windshield suction clip by removing the suction cups and sliding the edge under the edge of the headliner and the windshield. I have not tried to modify a visor clip.

pos: I'm not sure how you would make it attach to a headliner (wouldn't work like that on any of my cars). I would think another concern would be ensuring it's at the right angle and that the car's metal roof isn't interfering with the signal.The good thing about using the visor, is you can adjust the angle of the detector for optimal reception.

The good thing about using the visor, is you can adjust the angle of the detector for optimal reception.

pos: Not headliner, but i use it on my sun visor. Had to bend it open just a little to get it to fit right. Has a good line of sight.


query: I have the 2014 f150 fx4 with the Sony sound system Does the carpet interfere with the Sony subwoofer underneath the rear seat?

pos: My mistake before. I thought I clicked no. I believe it will not. Husky makes a liner that is made for the F150 with the sub-woofer. You should check out there under the rear seat storage/organizer. I got one and love it. It was a necessity


query: HDMI 196 Khz audio streams: So does this mean this receiver won't be able to play HDMI 196khz audio streams?

pos: Of course you mean 192 kHz. I don't know if Pioneer just forgot to list that mode, or if they were referring to the Blu-ray spec which only supports multi-channel, uncompressed PCM up to 96 kHz. But the PS3 lists all modes which the connected HDMI device reports support for. The last one listed is "Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 192 kHz", so support is there. Now, just find some content with that level of audio.


query: I got my speaker and it works great plugged into laptop but the batteries will not power it at all. Any suggestions?

pos: I have two like this, but they're a little different from each other. I remember once I thought one of them was broken because I had just changed the batteries but it would not turn on. Then I realized it wasn't set to play on batteries or something... I can't remember exactly what the issue was, but it was a very "duh!" moment. Otherwise just get another one - it's $6 crap from China.

pos: I have had two of these with no power problems except when I let the batteries run down. I am sure you have tried replacing the batteries, so I am not sure.

pos: Send it back as quick as possible. You've already had it work longer than mine ever did.


query: Can it free stand without having an anchor tied to the top and slung over a tree branch? anchoring the bottom is not an issue.

pos: I second the first answer. It isn't made too well, I am afraid. But if you need it for one season, the price wouldn't hamper one, I'd think. I had a different, sturdier model six years ago (unfortunately the mice got into the storage package last year and chewed up the material) but couldn't locate that brand anywhere anymore.

pos: Zooey, but it cannot free stand. It has to be tied to a branch or some other rigid beam.


query: I see that the headband that runs around the neck is too delicate? Does any of you guys have any trouble like breaking the neck band?? Durability?

pos: It seems durable enough to me. I've used it quite a bit, but I haven't been rough with it or dropped it.

pos: It's really more across the base of your skull than really on your neck (which isn't really that much of a difference, I realize, but I mean if you have short hair, it's still across where the hair would normally be cropped). Still have mine, it's pretty solid.

pos: Have not had any issues with durability. My father inlaw takes it with him to his jobs, hes a roofer, and his is still going strong. It may be a bit dirty but no problems with the durability.


query: Some of the reviews comment that the tape fails. Is there any other SAFE method of attaching them to a surface?

pos: Silly puddy is what I ended up using. Never bothered trying to use the tape since I move alot

pos: I honestly never had this problem. What I made sure to do is that when I put up the lights I made sure that it was low humidity. Seems to me that the failure has to do w/ humidity if using it outdoors. If inside #1 that A-shouldn't be a problem and B-regardless of using it indoors or outdoors if you go slowly it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't lost a light yet and I've been using these a bit over 2 months now. Also I believe if you bring it to an electronics store like Best Buy and buy some double sided electrical tape that's thin and about the same width that should take care of the problem safely. Don't buy masking or regular shipping tape as that is unsafe. If you have other concerns I'd contact Tao Electronics directly as they're very helpful and their email support is open 24/7. Hope this helps you out.


query: So is this basically just something to use if you don't have enough out ports for speakers on your receiver etc?

pos: if the receiver only outputs 100 W, this will split that 100 W into four... so, only 25W per set of speakers, right?

pos: I think it can be used that way but I used it to output speakers from XM device to deck and shed (both on, one on the other off or both off) its worth the cost and is easy to set up

pos: If you don't have enough speaker outputs on your receiver, this will solve the problem. It also lets you create different zones, so if you have speakers in your living room, family room, etc, you can select which zones you want on or off.


query: I am looking for a tactical scope to put on my sks. would this one work well? I ordered a see through cover with picatinny mount to put it on.

pos: I have the same mount. It does fit. I've tried a couple different scopes and none feel tight to me. The stock is just short. I just use the see through iron sights. The scope itself is great for the price. I use it on my AR15. I've shot over 500 rounds. And no problems yet.

pos: Yes...I can't see why not...I put it on my AR15...All depends on what distance you're looking at...Not the most powerful scope.


query: Description says to hook this up to Dish VIP DVR via USB,I don't see a USBport in the pic.Does it have one, will this work with Dish VIP722k DVR?

pos: I'm the wrong person to ask, since the Western Disital rep lied to me and the box not only didn't work but wiped out my DVR.

pos: USB is too slow for DVR use. You need a faster eSata cable. If they didn't put one in the box you can buy one on Amazon cheaply. Make sure your dish has an eSata port. Should be am eSata port on the drive. Note! You may lose all your shows on your Dish console. Google about this or read you Dish manual. On my DirectTV, the drive inside is ignored in favor of the external. Good luck.

pos: I believe there are two different boxes. One eSata and one for HDMI. Make sure you're buying the one with HDMI. It should say it in the description.


query: Compatible with D110? I don't see that one listed in your description. The purple connector appears the same as the connection on the printer.

pos: I don't know what D110 is but the adapter for the hp printer was genuine and works perfectly.

pos: The purple connector does match. When I plugged it into my printer, which is an HP Photosmart D110, and plugged the AC adapter into the wall, the printer turned on and came back to life.


query: Can the USB interface that it comes with this version be used with the trainer port on other transmitters? Or is it specific to the TTX600?

pos: According to the instruction booklet, you can use it on any Tactic 2.4GHZ transmitter.It says 'AnyLink must be in normal mapping when using Futaba, Hitec, orTower Hobbies transmitters with Tx-R aircraft. If using a Spektrum or JR transmitter, AnyLink must be in Alternate Mapping.I hope this helps you out...

pos: The USB interface can connect to other trainer ports, but the this version of software will probably not let you do that. The software will ask you for the serial number of the transmitter. I have not tried connecting it to other transmitters, so this is my best guess as I have actually held this product in my hands. The USB interface connects to your transmitter through a 3.5mm audio jack, the same that most headphones and cellphones use. This is the same jack that many major transmitters use for trainer ports, e.g. Spectrum brand. This product comes with an adapter to connect to other brands too, e.g. Futaba. So, you should be able to physically connect your USB interface to major brands of radios (featuring trainer ports), but I fear that this version of software will not be happy.


query: CAN FRY 4-BURGERS AT THE SAME TIME.

pos: Yes, and if you wish, you can fry 8 burgers at the same time by opening the pan up.

pos: it should be able to 'fry' 8 I would think since you can flip it open and use the top and bottom simultaneously. I guess it depends on how big a burger you want to make. Or you can cook 4 with the lid closed and do them twice as fast!


query: will it fit the 1010 weslo cadence treadmill?

pos: I'm sorry, but I don't know which treadmills it will fit. It fit my old Proforma perfectly. It is that little red plastic piece that goes into the machine.

pos: Hello. The description shows that this piece is a standard piece for all Weslo treadmills. The key is about 1" in length and about half an inch in width.Hope this helps.


query: What are the ingredients?

pos: :) Highly concentrated vitamin C distilled from the tears of Oompa Loompas Helps reduce signs of aging, protect skin, and even out complexions Formulated to penetrate deep into skin Ingredients: Deionized Water, Ascorbic Acid, Chondrus Chrispus (Seaweed Extract), Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Xanthan Gum, Citrus Aurantium (Orange Oil), Cymbopogon Cotratus (Lemon Grass Oil), Sesamum Indicum (Sesame Oil)

pos: It includes deionized water and asorbic acid too many ingredients to list, I have used it for almost a year and have significant reduction of redness and defintley more firmness in my skin it is not moisturizing though so I use Avalon organics vitamin c moisturizer at night it has been a great combination


query: How long does this antler typically last your dog?

pos: My dog has been working on hers about 2 months and it's lost maybe an inch in length (started about 8 inches). She's a German Shepher/Husky mix, so she has a fairly strong jaw, but she's 4 years old, so she's also not chewing as frequently as a dog under 1 year might. My boss buys elk antlers for her rottweilers and they typically last those very strong (but older) dogs several months. If you're looking to get an antler, elk is definitely the species you want as they are the most dense and last the longest. White tail antlers don't tend to be much cheaper but are much softer and don't last nearly as long I've found from experience.

pos: Forever. I've never had a dog "finish" an antler. They do tend to like the ones cut in half more as the marrow is more accessible.

pos: I had one antler and 2 fairly large pit bulls, and it took the two of them about 2-3d months to whittle it down, and they're pretty intense chewers.

pos: I have a giant breed dog and the antlers can last several months. every once and a while you get a "softer" one which can be whittled down in a few weeks.Antlers are one of the only things I've found that can't be destroyed by my dogs in less than a day. The other thing I just recently found is called a Goughnut.It comes in several shapes and sizes and is available on Amazon. They will replace it if your dog chews through it. So far so good but it's still not as enticing as an antler to my dogs.


query: Does the plus on the end of antivirus mean security? I/m running antivirus plus security now (do a lot of bankng and purchases) and subscription about to run out. Is this just as good as antivirus&secuity?

pos: The Trend Micro product I purchased clearly says on the box, secure online banking. My product says "premium". This one above does not say that. Be careful and make sure you get the most updated product. I am no expert. I have Trend Micro on my pc and have not had any problems. I don't know if this helps. You could go to their web site and look at the products there and chat with them.


query: can you get me 60 of these? I need to give these to all my school kids, thank you

pos: I only have 12 but with a combination of Amazon and latoys etceterayou can get the 60 you needjerry

pos: I can check with the manufacturer, but it is definitely a possibility. Let me know if you'd like a quote, and definite answer.


query: Can't you make your own out of sheer curtains, which can be bought for $3 at Goodwill, and get about 12 bags?

pos: The problem I found with these bags was the scanners at check out could not read the codes through them. I'm guessing the codes couldn't be read through sheers either. If that wouldn't be an issue to you - seems like sheers work.

pos: I suppose you could, but the fabric for these bags is softer and breaths more than the fabric for sheer curtains and there is a drawstring. Since I don't own an iron or a sewing machine that would be a very expensive option for me.

pos: If you have a sewing machine that easily sews fussy sheers, and you have a good method to contain the edges which will unravel, by all means. Keep in mind you might want to choose material through which the cashier can scan codes and read numbers, or they'll have to take your produce out of the bag. These work perfectly in that regard.

pos: Sure, you probably could if you have the time, don't mind the effort, and know how to sew. But will you?


query: Can I answer the phone remotely with this headset and lifter?

pos: Yes, when you press the button on your ear/head piece to answer the phone, it does lift the handset on the desk phone until you end the call, then it hangs up the handset.

pos: I don't know, it didn't come with a remote, however, the button to pick up and hang up calls is right in the head pieace

pos: Yes. There is a button on the headset that answers and disconnects the call.


query: do you have the original packaging & box as well as do you have microsoft office installed on computer

pos: I received an original box, but it did not come with Microsoft Office installed on it.


query: A Forbes article recommends getting a kit with a home button for easier installation. Does this kit have a home button, and does it make a difference?

pos: No the kit does not have a home button, if ur home button has no issues from ur previous iPhone u shid be fine! Installation will be the same regardless. Only difference is now u have to install the home button which takes 10 more minutes to install. I installed mine with in an hour Or less. It's more tedious then anything.

pos: This kit does not have a home button, you have to use your existing one. I would say it depends on where your existing screen is broken. If the screen is shattered near the home button, then it may be beneficial to get a kit with a home button as you might have broken shards stuck to the tape that holds the button in place. Nice but not required though.

pos: No it doesn't have one but that doesn't matter cuz the old one stays connected the phone not the screen


query: I have two cats and one is very large (~15 lbs). Will the larger one be able to play on and scratch at this tree?

pos: I have 4 cats (only 1 over 15 lbs) and they use this as part of a large grouping of cat condos. As another reviewer said, find some bracing, as it's a bit wobbly. Also, mine too has gotten quite a bit of wear of the legs. I'll be rewrapping those with new twine. Otherwise your cat should like it fine

pos: I have a large cat too (15lbs) and she is able to fit comfortably inside the cat condo and she enjoys the scratching post (one side is very shredded). This is large enough for bigger kitties but if your cat is prone to leaping on and off the top of the condos I recommend that you position the condo against a wall as it is not super sturdy. It is not something I consider a big deal, just something to keep in mind. That being said, for the price you cannot beat this condo, I shopped around quite a bit. Assembly was easy enough. Just rub some catnip on it and you're good to go. Hope this helps.

pos: This was a gift so I do not know. I can say that the person I gave it to has two cats and one loves it an uses it more then the other one although the other one does use it as well.

pos: My cats LOVED this. They always use the scratch posts. They did rip the ball off already but that's expected : ). We put catnip all over it and they really love it then! I would recommend this, much, much better deal than I have ever found in the pet stores.


query: whar is the voltage this product? 110, 220 or bivolt

pos: It says on the iron 120V 60Hz. I really like this iron would not use a corded one

pos: The technical specifications say that this iron runs on 119 Volts; 60 Hz; alternatively, the rate power supply is 12.5 Amps, 1500 Watts.

pos: Power Supply: 119 Volts; 60 Hz Rated Power: 12.5 Amps, 1500 Watts Standard outlet in the US

pos: It states in the booklet that came with the iron that it is 120 V. Hope this is helpful.

pos: Since the product I have is sold here, in the US it is 110 volts. standard plug.


query: windows 7 will not recognize this camcorder? Anybody having this promblem?

pos: The Canon manual says not to read or write from the flash memory when the camcorder is connected to a computer (okay for photos but not video). Doesn't explain why or what happens but suspect it can corrupt file structure and prevent data from being read back to camcorder later. Capturing files directly from the memory card using a card reader appears to be okay as I've seen that referenced on Canon's website (but not mentioned as an option in the manual).


query: I have rocky ground. I was thinking of setting up my intex pool on top of matting (such as the interlocking squares sold for home gyms) Will it work?

pos: We used big 4x8 sheets of foam insulation from a local building supply store. Gym squares would probably be even better!


query: Does this product have a drain board or drip tray for the grease

pos: It does not have a drain board or drip tray. This waffle iron/griddle is best used for waffles, pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches or other items that can need to be grilled/browned on one side and can be flipped. I would probably not use it for anything that has grease or general grilling.

pos: No. It is a pancake/waffle grill that can also be used for sandwiches. It is not made for grilling...


query: I am replacing our old clothes dryer, the existing pipe base is permanently in cement, and has a 2 inche inside dia, will the new pole fit inside?

pos: The metal stake that is usually cemented into place actually has an inside diameter of 2 inches. There is a plastic liner pipe that has an inside diameter of 1 3/4 inches which is the size of the clothes line pipe. You may be able to use this liner to reduce the diameter of your 2 inch existing pipe to fit the 1 3/4 inch diameter clothes line pole. I think it would work for you. I also want to add that this is the best buy we have ever made as far as clothes lines are concerned. It has stayed up through everything thrown at it.

pos: The pole fits into a sheath that has a one-and-three-quarters inch inside diameter. That sheath (which I believe is part of the Brabantia package but might be inseparable from the mounting device that it is enclosed in), has a 2 inch outside diameter.


query: Can I use this to make coffee too, or just hot chocolate?

pos: It just mixes and heats...so hot coco, chai tea, cider, etc....but it wont brew coffee.

pos: It has a basket to hold solid chocolate for blending with milk/water but there is no drip mechanism with a basket and filter for coffee.


query: Do you need to disconnect the solar panel to use a generator which is connected to the 12v battery to charge battery and other devices?

pos: Charging from multiple sources is done often. There are very few instances where any trouble comes up.


query: what is the difference in the maverick et 733 and the et 732

pos: I think the answer to your question is best handled in the 733 product description. Mostly what I can see is that the 733 has a larger display, is backlit, and has a few extra settings (wild boar, etc.) I have the 733 and am very happy with it. Personally, I really don't see much benefit to having lots of different meats programmed (although some might like it) - I personally prefer to set to my own preferences, or just let it show me the raw data. The last time I used the 733, I smoked two turkeys for thanksgiving. I used one of the probes for the interior of the smoker, and the other in the turkey. I found it especially helpful to know exactly what the pit-oven was doing, and found myself going out every 20 minutes or so to adjust the temp, something I have done much more sporadically before. I watched the turkeys carefully, inserting the probe into the turkey closest to the heat, and taking it out immediately upon reaching temp. I then inserted the probe into the other turkey, which was furthest from the heat, and had only a short time before I took it off as well. Alternately, I could have used one of my older single meat probe thermometers, but I was spoiled using the remote device. BTW - never had a turkey come out so perfect!!

pos: ET-732 model includes 1 meat probe and 1 smoker probe. Newer ET-733 includes 2 meat probes, as most people use this for Grilling and not for smoking.

pos: The 732 is simpler to use, doesn't have an alarm feature, smaller screen, and doesn't have preset meats/doneness stored. I have the 733 and find it complicated and hard to program, therefore, I use it as if it were a 732.


query: Looking for a gift..Will this work for my friend's 5 qt 475w lift stand KitchenAid?

pos: Yes, I bought it for my granddaughter who has a 5qt kitchenAid. She loves it!!


query: how fast does the wheel turn? im want to use it to polish brass parts. is this a good option for what i want to do?

pos: the speed is 580 rpm. it might polish flat stock . I would use a buffing wheel and buffing compound.


query: Can you crush ice from an ice maker the ice is 2 and 1/2 inches and moon shaped?

pos: I can tell you that it can. In my case the ice maker overfills the ice maker and the ice sometimes comes out with 3 or 4 pieces stuck together and if you put them in the chute stuck together they have a chance of getting stuck. After the first time of having to poke inside and break them apart I can fill the chute up but never with pieces of ice stuck together. After buying the less expensive hand crank ice crusher and fighting the suction cup on the bottom and the grease that starts oozing out of the side of the crank side of the unit, this machine is a dream machine. No more thumb blisters.

pos: yes, my ice is about that size. sort of crescent shaped. we can put 2 pieces at a time in it.

pos: From my experience, I can tell you that it hasn't worked for me. It did ok for a little while but crapped out on me. I can not recommend it.


query: What is the shelf life of the fuel tablets?

pos: The key to keeping your Esbit Fuel Tablets for an almost infinite period of time is to keep them DRY. I keep mine in a sturdy, tightly closing ziplock bag for two reasons. The first reason is to keep them dry, to allow them to last indefinitely. The second reason is to keep the "fishy" smell closed up inside the ziplock bag, until I'm ready to light one.

pos: I didn't see an expiration Date on the package. But they are sealed in like a foil pack. I would think it would last for many years to come. As long as the foil is not broken.

pos: According to what I have read, the hexamine tablets have an almost indefinite shelf life when stored properly (kept dry).

pos: not sure. i kept them for a few months before use and they still worked fine. it seems to me that they should last for a pretty long time

pos: I don't know for sure how long they last. You may need to check with the manufacturer, but as long as they stay sealed in the packaging so that they don't dry out, they should last a long time.

pos: I just opened a new-old-stock stove with an included pack of 20 tablets that's probably 50 years old I found for three dollars cheaper than they are on Amazon right now ($7 as opposed to $10 for Amazons prices) and just to test, made tea with the stove. The 50 year old tablets still lit and burned!

pos: I looked all over the box and couldn't find any expiration date, shelf life, or use by dates ! Each cube only burns for 12 min. Hope this helped !

pos: The fuel tabs are Hexamine.If stored properly almost infinite shelf life.I am including a link from Wikipedia on the Esbitt Stove,and the Hexamine fuel tab information.Hope it helps.(I'm considering getting an Esbitt Stove and the fuel pack.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexamine_fuel_tablet

pos: I have used them for up to a year after purchase. I wouldn't imagine that they would go bad as long as the seal isn't broken.


query: What the difference between this and Chaos -CTR Chinook Multi Tasker Pro Micro Fleece Balaclava with Windproof Face Mask?

pos: This one over laps, and the other is just a hole. With this one I just wear the bottom half, somewhat like a scarf, while the other half rests on the back of my head.

pos: I'm not a expert on this by no means. I chose the wind proof because I was going to wear it while snowmobiling in a area that can be very cold and windy. I relied on the reviews of others on both masks. I'm pleased with it.


query: how fast does the motors make the power wheels go in comparison from a regular 12v to 24 volt power wheels?

pos: I run these at 18v and they run about 50% faster, it is noticeable. It is not as fast as running a 12v motor at 24 volt, that would double the speed but they will trash the motors very quickly doing that, but they had fun while they lasted. www.modifiedpowerwheels.com has a lot of info on what people have found to work

pos: I never changed to 24 volt. just replaced originals and kept every thing else the same. made it faster. worth while change.

pos: I got mine upto 12.7 mph on 24v. The motors burned out. I've tried them all and the original PW motors hold up best.

pos: These motors are a little faster then stock in 12v. Not as fast as the 24v with stock motors though.


query: Does this crate have one or 2 latches?

pos: I have the large crate - it has one latch and two hooks at the top of the door that hold it to the crate.

pos: My crate, which is the large one (42"x30"x28") has two latches on the door. It's an amazing crate.

pos: Only one latch but the top portion of the door has hooks that hold the door to the crate.


query: Can you use on le cruiset

pos: I'm thinking it would be ok. I would try it on a very small area first. Hope that helps. Love this product.

pos: I think le cruiset is more of a cast iron cookware. This cleaner is for a glass top stove and probably wouldn't hurt cast iron but you typically don't want to use the scrubber on your cast iron. There are probably cleaners out there specifically made for le cruiset. Hope this helps


query: what are the card dimensions? thank you

pos: Hi, thanks for contacting us. This card is 8.75"x 4.75" x .75". If there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading


query: difference between this and 62U I can't get through all the marketing BS. What is the difference between the 62U and the 92U models?

pos: The static contrast ratio is 3,000:1 instead of 2,000:1 as well. That's one of the best I've seen for LCD.

pos: u also get a DVI for better PC input....6 inputs with 1080p compatible......

pos: 5 vs. 4 wavelength backlight means better color reproduction.120hz refresh rate means less judder/smoother motion on fast moving action scenes.15,000 vs. 10,000 Dynamic contrast ratio means deeper blacks (ie, see more picture detail in dark areas of image).I think those are the main differences and justify the higher selling price (but perhaps not to the tune of $1,000-$2,000....$500 difference would be more realistic)

pos: Also, and a big one IMO, this model has three HDMI inputs opposed to the 62U's two.

pos: thank you everyone for your posts on this discussion. Very helpful and concise. I love this feature of Amazon!

pos: Quentin's right on there - the color difference is noticeable and does look better.Also, with the 120hz processor, it accepts 1080p over the component-in input, which means you'll get a much better picture from non-HDMI devices such as the XBox 360.Also, at the shops I've seen lots of banding issues (read up on this - common problem) with the 62U, but didn't see that at all with the 92Us.Locally the price differential is only $400 ($3400 at local stores, vs $3000 for the 62U). The $1k difference is probably due to price breaks on the to-be-discontinued 62U line.

query: Are the blades Walnut/Medium Oak, or Walnut/Dark Cherry ? Amazon's item description lists it both ways. Thanks

pos: The way I read it, the blades are two colors (walnut one side, medium oak the other side) so you can choose the color you want when you install it.

pos: Hi Leeg, thanks for the question. The blades are Walnut/Dark Cherry colored. We hope that answers your question. If you need anything further Leeg, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193


query: Does it work with my Westinghouse Quince Two-Light Reversible Six-Blade model:7247100 ?

pos: This is generic. It will work with any ceiling fan I've ever encountered. Ceiling fans have three active wires going into the fan mechanism: a wire for fan power, a wire for light power, and a neutral (plus a ground wire that attaches to something metal). You set the light(s) on and the fan on high speed. Then you hook up the control unit that comes with the remote--one wire for fan power, one wire for light power, one wire for neutral, and two wires to connect to incoming power. Make sure the remotes and the control unit are all on the same setting, and that normally works. Sometimes something electronic in your home may interfere and cause things to turn on and off at random times. If so, select a different setting for the control unit and the remotes (all still one setting). Not that hard. The hardest part is getting the control unit into the cramped space inside the fan housing.


query: Does this foot work on the magnolia 7318 if possible?

pos: I only know that this zipper foot works on both of Janome QS2250 and Horizon Memoty Craft 7700 QP models, no idea sbout magnolia 7318.


query: Is it possible please to use the top on an air hockey table instead of a pool table ?

pos: The frame ridge is 108x60 inches +/- a half inch, so if your air hockey table is narrower than that it should work fine. If you need more exact let me know.

pos: It would need to be a large air hockey table. We have been using a plastic table that is 2' x 6'. It works well.

pos: As long as there is nothing around the edge of the air hockey table (such as score counters, etc) that would prevent the ping pong table top from laying flat, it should work fine.

pos: As long as there is nothing around the edge of the air hockey table (score counters, etc) that would prevent the ping pong surface from laying flat, it should work fine.

pos: Yes. I have a full size Great American air hockey table. I had to remove the little scoring sliders as well as the leveling feet in order to get a regulation height ping pong table. Works great and have been very happy.


query: How heavy is the CARL 15inch trimmer--I like to travel to scrap booking retreats.

pos: I was not happy with it because the cutting guides are not level which creates crooked cuts. That's unacceptable if you're making greeting cards.

pos: It's light for its size, but it's big. If you have a bag that can fit it, it won't be difficult to carry.

pos: It is not light weight, heavy and too bulky. You cannot measure smaller amounts of paper to the right of the trimmer. I found it was a waste of money across the board as a desk top trimmer.


query: What is the warranty on this trash can? SimpleHuman site says 10 years but I'd like to confirm. Thanks!

pos: I got one used and they replaced a couple parts free; Dont expect to find anyone owning one for over 10 years; they havent been around that long.


query: we live in Fl & the dog and kids bring in sand all the time, need it to pick up sand, pet hair, dog & cat and litter the cat drags out of the box

pos: I live in Alaska. We practically live in a desert. So I vacuum sand, pebbles, and I also have a cat. I use it to vacuum cat hair off the furniture. I also use it to vacuum up the cat litter that's trailed out-of-the-box. This vacuum has a very strong motor and also has a filter that you can clean. I love this vacuum. I've had it for 5 yrs now and it's still going strong!

pos: Works well on hard surfaces. Light, easy to carry around. Easy to empty and clean. Good suction. I think this will work well for your needs.

pos: I live near the beach in Florida and it works great tonpickbupball yiu mentioned

pos: It works good in hardwood or tile flooring. Wouldn't recommend if you have a lot of carpet in the house

pos: We live in Tampa. I use mine all the time. I have two (make that three now) cats and a bird, as well as having had three teens in the house. Mine works great for all of that, but like I said before, I don't use mine often on our two carpeted rooms. I use our Dyson for those because I have severe dust allergies and a canister vac just doesn't have the suction to get deep enough into the matresses or carpets to remove enough dust for my liking.


query: Can you buy a tube with a straight neck?

pos: Don't think so. But you may be able to buy the straight mouthpiece as an accessory and change it out..

pos: If I understand your question correctly - the answer is no.The tube bends at the end to make it easier to get to your mouth while hiking - also the bend 'locks' the water flow open or closed. When open you pinch the end of the tube with your teeth to get the water from the reservoir. Essentially it is in this 'bent' position whenever hiking.


query: is the 100 xl a higher capacity cartridge as an alternative to cartridge 150

pos: The capacity of 100xl is higher than an average 150 ink cartridge. They do have a 150xl also, where the capacity is higher.....


query: Would these fit my 20 lb Italian Greyhound?

pos: Our dog was 30 lb and the fit was very tight. It was difficult to get them on, but I think that is so that they won't come off easily. It did help her to walk.


query: What type of track will this fixture work with? I have Juno track and am looking for a compatible fixture.

pos: Pretty sure mine are Juno....just basic ones from Home Depot. They seem fine but they do hang rather low.

pos: I'd have to look at the tracks that i put them in. They ended up working perfect.


query: Does this work well on loop pile carpets or does it damage the carpet by pulling/breaking the loops?

pos: I would not suggest that you use this rug rake on loophole carpets. It could quite possibly break and pull the loops.

pos: I use this in my hall which is berber carpeting. Haven't noticed any problems with the carpet so far and I use it almost every day.

pos: I use it on my Berber carpet in hall, dining and living room and have not had any problems. The tines of the brush are not so rigid. They do seems to 'fluff' the carpet a bit but not damage it. I use the rake almost every day but am not rough with it.

pos: I do not have a loop type carpet so can't answer that. I can tell you it works great on my semi shaggy and doesn't pull out any fibers.


query: WHAT RCBS SHELL HOLDER IS USED FOR 243 WINCHESTER ?

pos: As the 243 winchester is developed from the 30-06 case it uses the same shellholder. The RCBS number is 3


query: Does this bass recorder come with a case?

pos: My recorder came with a canvas zippered case, a push-rod for cleaning, and a little tub of joint grease.

pos: Yes, it comes with a beautiful good quality neat semi soft fabric case, pleasing light brown colour and handles.


query: I keep getting message when trying to connect RADU to my wireless router that device and router have to be on same network. How do I remedy this?

pos: Why and how you connect to your wireless router? You should just connect to power source, then from your phone wifi, should be able to see your sabrent.

pos: I noticed that the most recent firmware update wasn't working - it couldn't find my network. I went back to an older version of the firmware and it worked fine. Maybe that will help you.

pos: Connecting to the network router only works with firmware v2.0.1. If you update to 2.0.4/2.0.5 it doesn't work.


query: How long do these take to arrive? I ordered them 6 days ago on 10/10, and delivery time is between 11/7 and 12/17? I need them by 11/5!

pos: This item we ship from USA , maybe need 7-9 working days arrive , is that ok ?


query: I found battery poor, only 3 times usage after full charging, why?

pos: I think you must have gotten a faulty unit, mine lasts for at least a week on a full charge. I would contact support on that.


query: What is the actual size of the calculator?

pos: Connie.......4 by 3.5 inches This is areal gem You won't be sorry Hans Lans

pos: Oops. I gave you info on the wrong calculator, This one is about 3" x 4.5". Nice contrast on the numbers. I prefer backlit, but this calculator is OK as is. Small footprint. No batteries required, just a source of light (sun or house lighting). Works every time.


query: How does this fit in the armpit area? My current harness is uncomfortable for my dog. Thanks!

pos: Just like the picture! My 50# pitbull is in the medium. That area ~2" wide, and doesn't tough his legs, but is soft regardless.

pos: Doesn't even come close to my dog's pits. Similar fitting to the one in the pic. At times, I've even used it to take her for a walk.

pos: This is very roomy and doesn't cut into the armpit area. My dog is a rottweiler/Australian shepherd 100# and this is comfortable on her. The padding is very nice too.

pos: My dog is a ten-and-a-half pound Italian Greyhound, and she wears a size small. Soon as she sees the harness, she knows it means a ride in the car, and she gets excited.She doesn't fuss at all or squirm, or try to get out of it, so I'd have to say that it is comfortable for her.The two piece system, where you leave the one piece in your car and hook the harness, is so quick, easy, and safe for your dog and for you.I hope that you'll give this harness a try. It's the best that I've ever used for my beloved dogs, and possibly the least costly.


query: does this camera take regular batteries?

pos: It comes with rechargeable battery. Also it worked wonderful for me underwater for videos and still pics

pos: No it comes with a rechargeable battery but the battery sucks it doesn't last an hour


query: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?

pos: IMO this protein will not heal the tendon per se but with exercising the surrounding muscles, under guidance, you can improve the quality of your movements and try to live the best with this tear. Strengthening the adjoining muscles would also reduce the chances of aggravating the problem.Just eating whey protein, without exercising, will do close to nothing for your body.

pos: Exercises will help more - there are some good ones in the book Bulletproof Your Shoulder that can help prevent a tear too.

pos: Light rehab exercises + ice will heal it. I tore mine about 7 years ago and today I have 100% confidence in my shoulder. Don't do any exercise which hurts... find another exercise. For me it was barbell/machine incline bench, I replaced with dumbbells and no more issues.

pos: No over head shoulder presses only side laterals for strengthening shoulders.

pos: No it won't help. I had a similar problem. There are exercises that you can do when your rotator cuff tear heals enough to keep movement going and/or being as limited


query: is there a way to turn on/off & dim 6 lamps in a room at the same time?

pos: You could run a series of extension cords to each lamp (up to this controllers rated capacity ) teethered to this unit as a controler.. or you could look for a remote controlled system to dim each lamp in unison.. but my thinking is while the extension cords may be a bit more unsightly if not done properly.. they definitely will be far less costly... Best Joe


query: Do these bags seal good enough to be able to ship honey in? Can you seal the bag with a gallon of liquid in them?

pos: I have not tried to use them with liquids, but I can say they are tough and if I had a reason to use them with liquid, I would not hesitate. I can say I feel they are very good quality and have held up very well to the storage uses I have used them for. I sealed dry goods then "stuffed" as many as I could into 5 gallon buckets with a lid for long term food food storage. I have not had any problems using them.

pos: If sealed properly, these bags will not come unsealed. Personally, I prefer to make a wide seal. I do not think you could do a gallon of liquid in this bag and be able to seal properly because it is liquid. I would put your honey in another container then seal.

pos: You may want to put the honey in a multipe seal Glad type bag first before putting it in a Mylar bag. If the bag is packed so that it is free from pressure, it may be OK. Make sure both are well sealed.


query: i have a different set. will thses start to burn after several uses? mine do and only used 7x.

pos: I only use them at 350 degrees, but I've already used them at least a dozen times and they're still like new. I'm happy with these.

pos: I keep them at my cottage and have only used them about 4 times. Ok, so far.

pos: I have used this set every couple of weeks for the past year with no burning. They are in great shape!


query: Wide enough mouth for both red and white wine?

pos: Yes, Very! The ones I got seemed to be more of a water goblet than a wine glass though!!


query: Do the compartments detach from the grill? I don't really need them but I love the size of this shaker.

pos: Yes, it all disassembles. You can use the grill with or without the compartments,it just sits on the lip and is held down by the lid.

pos: Yes, indeed. The compartments are attached in 3. You cannot separete them but they can be easily removed from the shaker.


query: Can this camera be dash mounted?

pos: If you are asking if this can be mounted upside down, the answer is yes and no. There is no current option to flip the picture 180 degrees in the menu. (it's on a feature enhancement list though for future R&D cycles) You can easily flip the video 180 via post processing software or even youtube editor has this option now. So your screen will be upside down is the thing until a future update comes out.


query: What is the plastic no. in the triangle logo at the bottom of the bottle?

pos: one of course ! i would have never bought this if it wasn't the best plastic

pos: There is no triangle. Just says BPA free. It does have a circle with a bunch of numbers.


query: Are these boxes strong enough to carry/move books?

pos: Not for books. These are great for files, papers, lose items. If the books fill the box it would be to heavy unless you are loading the boxes already on a hand cart.

pos: Each Bankers Box will hold approximately 50 to 55 pounds (of paper) and has a maximum stacking capacity of about 450 pounds.

pos: The boxes seem strong enough, but the lids do not stay on very well. If you really want them to have lids, you will probably have to tape them. Hope this helps.

pos: Yes! I bought them for that exact reason. I have about 7 bookshelves of books ranging from light paperbacks to dense anthologies, and I have used these boxes to move all my books during 3 different moves. They are very durable still and I will definitely use them again. Plus, they store flat, so it is easy to store them away to reuse later. They are very sturdy and easy to carry, and they are just the right size to store/move books.

pos: Yes! I bought them for that exact reason. I have about 7 bookshelves of books ranging from light paperbacks to dense anthologies, and I have used these boxes to move all my books during 3 different moves. They are very durable still and I will definitely use them again. Plus, they store flat, so it is easy to store them away to reuse later.They are very sturdy and easy to carry, and they are just the right size to store/move books.

pos: probably yes. if it is just for transporting then i would say yes. if you used them to store heavy stuff and the box got damp, it might not hold up. i have them full of files, just like the picture, and they are absolutely strong enough for that use. i wouldn't hesitate putting books in these strong boxes. good luck! -s

pos: I would think so. I pack them with files of papers and they hold up. Maybe pack them a little lighter thaan normal since books are heavy.


query: what is the difference between the nd8 and the ndx8?

pos: Same thing.Actually the ND8 reduces 3 stops of light, and it's the most common ND filter purchased.

pos: Same thing. Actually the ND8 reduces 3 stops of light, and it's the most common ND filter purchased.


query: Is this a made in USA PRODUCT?

pos: Im sorry, I'm not sure. I threw the package away and sent the mice to my sons cat! Great prank toy though! Any kitchen drawer that is pulled out quickly will make it squeek. Does the trick! ;)

pos: Sorry, but I have no idea if they are made in the USA. I can say that my cat goes crazy about this particular mouse. (However it very quickly goes missing. I have bought her two now and after the first week of each - I have no clue of where they are. Just and FYI.)

pos: im not sure as i threw away the package it came in :( if i had to guess i would say no but am not for sure


query: Where does the water go?

pos: You do not add water to these curlers, these are just hot not steam curlers, they work great.


query: from southern CA. how long does it take to get to me?

pos: Hi!If you the items fulfillment by amazon.It will take about 2-4 days to you.If you select the second day shipping service.They will ship to you in second day.Thanks


query: what does triband mean?

pos: Around the world cell phone operate on three different frequencies. If your phone is triband (most new ones are) this means it will work anywhere in the world. Probably not that important unless you travel a lot. Cell phones are locked so that it will only be compatable with individual providers. If it is locked with Cingular it will not work with Verizon. There are methods available to unlock them, but more than likely too advanced for the common consumer, unless you have an electronics knowledge base, then if that is the case....google, "unlock cellphone."


query: When this is installed does it cover up the rear cup holder? Does it require screws or just sets into the existing center console ?

pos: It's my sons car and it's been awhile, but I think it mounts where the cup holder mounts with a couple screws. At first it looked a little flimsy how it mounted but he has had it 2 years with out issues. It is useful but not very big storage but there's not much room anyway. I think he would recommend it. Good luck

pos: It does cover the rear cup holder and has 1 screw. Several people ordered the spare cup holder from Amazon for about $4 that attaches to the rear of the armrest.

pos: Yes it covers the rear cup holders, and it does require screws but, I am glad I put it in my vehicle, it serves some good purposes. Installation is a little difficult at first but once you figure out how it holds on you'll get it..

pos: Yes it does cover up and actually sits in the cup holder as well as the existing console. the existing console has 1 screw which you remove, and replace with a longer screw that comes with the new one. very easy. hope this helps GOOD LUCK!

pos: Yes, it fits into the cup holder, so you lose that rear cup holder when you install the armrest. It comes with two long screws, I believe and you attach the armrest into the cup holder.

pos: It does go inside the cup holder. You remove the screw that is in there and replace it with on that is supplied. It has really been a great buy


query: Are these full logs (not split in half)? Another log bed advertised by this vendor seems to be half logs though it's not included in the description

pos: I love my log bed. It is so beautiful, (still). I feel it will last a very long time. I am going to purchase a log bed for my daughter and her husband for Christmas as she can't stop commenting about ours. The splits in logs are normal, but our bed is holding up nicely and is so gorgeous. If you purchase one, you won't be sorry.

pos: They are not split logs and you can pay extra for a larger diameter! You can also mix aspen with pine!

pos: I rec'd full logs. I lightly sanded and stained a darker color and varnished. Went together easy


query: Why does the motor in these recent models suck? I've had two that are both garbage. How hard is it to make something as simple as a motor?

pos: Make it three. The grearing is what went wrong with mine, not the motor. I've given up on the electric freezers and just crank away. Besides it's fun


query: When can I buy with free Leopard included? On what date can I order a new iMac and have Leopard OS included free?

pos: I bought a 24" iMac last night (6th November'07) and Leopard wasn't pre-installed. I got a Leopard disk, and had to do the installation at home, which takes about an hour and half. The installation is a piece of cake, but I wish it came pre-installed.


query: What is the size of the capsules?

pos: The pills are huge, but it's the only product that works for me without the pain. The size reminds me of the large Mike & Ike candies that you get at the movie theater, only larger.

pos: I was wondering this same thing & wrote someone@Aerobic Life. Here's their response: It is referred to as a double 00. If you find you have trouble with the larger size capsule simply give each capsule a gentle squeeze before you swallow and it will shorten the length of the capsule making it much easier to swallow. I hope this helps. tamera@nbpure.com

pos: I open my capsules and place the powder on my tongue. I don't like swallowing pills. Doesn't taste bad at all. Also get quicker results!

pos: They are Medium size capsules, larger than my omeprazole 20mg caps but smaller than other capsules like Gaba 500mg by Now Foods.

pos: Big, white and dry. Take with a mouthful of water. Don't try to swallow without water or juice. They do work.

query: what would be the right size bottle to give to someone that will be using it when they ride their bike

pos: I purchased the 27 oz. I believe this size or a little smaller. I wouldn't go any larger

pos: I have the 40 oz version and it would probably be too big and bulky to hang on a bike under the seat. I'd go for a slightly smaller version.

pos: that would probably depend on how far they are riding....I think the 27 oz would be best because of its slim design. the 40's circumference is much more than the 27. might make it difficult to mount to the bikes frame if thats how they use it.

pos: Consider bike-mounted bottle cage dimensions, if that is relevant to the bike rider, then match dimensions to bottle. If the rider requires icy aqua, then a double-walled bottle would be best.

pos: Directly from the Klean Kanteen website -- "The 18oz Kanteen® Classic fit into most standard bike cages." Klean Kanteen sells bike cages to fit the larger sizes ranging in price from $6.95 (you have to bolt it on yourself) to $30.95 (which easily clips on).


query: does it work with take in play Thomas trains?

pos: I pulled one out to check and they dont not fit, the wheels a little too close together

pos: No. Take and play are more narrow. These work with the traditional wooden Thomas tracks.

pos: Yes, it does. That's the sole reason I bought it. The Thomas track is MUCH more expensive. These tracks don't have the image of rails etched into the wood like Thomas, but my son doesn't care. He just likes that he has a HUGE track now!

pos: wooden tracks will work perfectly with wooden Thomas and wooden Chuggington trains. It will not work with the diecast Take and play Thomas. Die cast trains require the plastic gray track.


query: Can this be made into a Spanish Keyboard?

pos: Hi, that setting can be changed in your tablet. It is not related to the keyboard.


query: Does the charger work with 220v? Anyone who has it, it will be great if you could check if the charger has written on it 110v-230v.If so, all I need is an adapter.Thanks!

pos: I purchased from Amazon and it was good for 110v-230v, all you need is just a plastic plug US to EU


query: Does this replacement also bring the adhesive or do I need to purchase that on the side?

pos: The adhesive is already on the glass. It is heat and UV light activated. After I cleaned the digitizer, I dried it using blow dryer, then put glass on and used a UV nails drier to secure the adhesive.

pos: This does not include any adhesive. Simply tools and the replacement glass.

pos: No it does not but if you use a blow dryer you can possibly reuse the adhesive, but for safe measures you can purchase it on the side


query: How long before water boils?

pos: 1 liter - the full kettle - takes 3 1/2 minutes for a rolling boil. I haven't timed the half kettle, which is what I usually use, but it goes much quicker. This kettle has proven its worth in size and convenience over and over for me.


query: will it work with a 22/32/42 crankset?

pos: the specs on that area a 44 to 48 tooth outer ring, the main thing is also its a 9 speed, I had a seven speed rear sprocket, didn't work for me, so be sure and check your rear sprocket. Then look for a 3 x ?, whatever you have, then you should be ok.

pos: i think either version has a stated maximum of 44t chain ring. it is for triple cranks

pos: Perfectly, I had one installed with the large chainring of 46 teeth. It works without any problem if well installed at the proper height.


query: Can you fry other things besides a turkey....like fish? And how long?

pos: Absolutely! Anything you fry in it, you have to apply your own judgment by checking in on the status from time to time. I fry everything with it, from fish to chicken, to turkey. Make sure you fry in the garage with the door open or outside besides the building. The smell is not fully filtered out.

pos: Yes you can fry other things besides a turkey and the cooking time depends on what you are cooking... Google would be able to let you know how long to cook lets say fish or chicken


query: What plates come with this grill?

pos: 2 grill plates (top& bottom), 2 griddle/penini plates, and 1 deep dish pizza plate

pos: one set with "ripples", one set cut into quarters (which we've never used!)

pos: grill plates (top& bottom), 2 griddle/penini plates, and 1 deep dish pizza platerill plates (top& bottom), 2 griddle/penini plates, and 1 deep dish pizza plate


query: Will this work with a 36 inch wide door frame? It says 37 but I am leary.

pos: I bought the smaller model ("up to 33 inch door opening") and it would have about 1.5"+ of overhang on each side of a 33" (i.e. maximum-sized) door. So the one that says 37" max will probably have at least 2" of contact against either side of a 36" door.


query: I have some light in the room. Will this screen work without compromising on quality? I have Optoma HD 25 LV.

pos: WE love our screen! we have it since last fall. Whether we have lights on in the room, or one the blinds open in the room, this screen has performed well for us. One of the keys we found, was to make sure the projector was close enough to obtain a crisp picture. (We initially had it mounted too far back.) I would recommend this screen.
