Ultra Life Battery UPVL-X 10 Year Smoke Detector Battery
July 24, 2008
- 10 year smoke alarm battery - Long-lasting in all other 9-volt devices too. - Maximum Protection - Longest Life
Customer Review: Lasts 3 years
Bought a few of these in 2004, two have started giving out, three years later.
Customer Review: Five-Year Worked Great, I’ll Trust the Ten-Year
I haven’t yet used the Ultralife 10-year battery but I can vouch for the 5-year version. I just pulled one from a smoke alarm and I had dated it July 13, 2003. So it lasted four years and four months, less than five years but it was also the smoke alarm closest to the kitchen, and thus was probably a bit drained by the fifty or so burnt cooking false alarms over the past four+ years.
Ultralife makes a truly great product so I gladly upgraded and ordered four of the 10-year batteries. The added safety and convenience makes them worth every cent.
I’ll update this review in 8-10 years when these batteries stop working. buy from here…
Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 15-1/4-Inch Cast-Iron Skillet
July 24, 2008
15-1/4″ Diameter, Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet.
Customer Review: Cast iron fry pan
I ordered Dec. 9th for Christmas. It was to be the gift my husband has wanted for a long time. I received the pan in three mailing days. Due to other reviews of damaged/cracked pans, I opened right away. It was packed loosely amongst brown paper and moved quite a bit when I shook it. But, THANKFULLY, the pan was in excellent shape! I left out the 5th star rating because I want a lid for the pan. Selfish, I know. I appreciate the fast service and the quality I expected. Well Done!
Customer Review: A Big Disappointment
I bought this because I own and enjoy several Lodge Items. Unfortunately, while heating this one up over a gas burner, I heard a loud pop and was horrified to see it had cracked in half. An email to customer service at Lodge resulted in zero response. Unimpressed with this pan as well as Lodge’s lack of response. buy from here…

Customer Review: pretty good gps for the price
I’ve been using this gps for about a month now in and around Los Angeles, and so far it has been pretty accurate. The turn by turn voice commands do not say the street names (it will just say to turn right in 500 ft instead of turn right on Main Street etc,)and it doesn’t necessarily give the perfect route (it would rather give me direction on side streets in some areas when I know that going a bit out of the way and taking the freeway will be quicker,) but all in all the directions it gives are accurate and for the price it is worth it for the maps alone…not to mention it is compact (actually fits in your pocket) and much easier and more intuitive than reading a Thomas Guide or some other map. I swear I am the only person I ever drove anywhere with that can read a simple map…forget about having someone decipher a Thomas Guide! And since I usually do the driving and the navigating, this thing really comes in handy. I did lose the satellite signal when I was driving out in Lake Elsinore, so this could be a downside depending on where you live. But at least for navigating the labrynth of Los Angeles streets, this thing works well, and is definitely worth the price.
Customer Review: My Wife Loves it.

Customer Review: Great Travel Mug
I purchased this product for my husband - he loves it. The coffee stayed hot all day, even in 30 degree weather. Also, never leaks even when on its side. Since he liked it so much, I purchased one for myself - it’s the best!
Customer Review: Bad customer support from Thermos
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son, and it arrived without the carabiner, which was a key feature that he wanted. I called Thermos customer service and had a bad experience: it took a long time to answer my call, they were a bit rude on the phone, they disconnected the call, then they offered to send a replacement carabiner in 14 days — far too slow to meet my needs.
I use a company’s customer service attitude as a good indicator of their products. If they don’t take care of their customers, they probably don’t design their products to meet customers’ needs either. buy from here…
Meade ETX-80AT-TC Achromatic Refractor Telescope- Silver(0805-04-21)
July 21, 2008
The compact and portable design of the ETX-80AT-TC Refractor Go-To Telescope will have you out observing the inexhaustible quantity of visible phenomena in no time. The ETX-80AT-TC double-tine,fork mountings include high-torque DC motors on both telescope axes, permitting electronic operation from the included plug-in AutoStar hand controller. You can instantly select any speeds simply by pressing the SPEED button on the AutoStar controller. As an added bonus, the ETX-80AT-TC telescope comes with Meade’s ultra-sturdy, easy-to-use, Standard Field Meade #882 Tripod that features micrometric controls to provide precise equatorial alignment of your telescope at any observing latitude from 20 to 90 degrees. This alignment is useful for fully automatic tracking of celestial objects in right ascension. Should you decide to look at the surface of your own planet for a while, the Altazimuth (90-degree) Orientation option provided by this tripod is useful for terrestrial viewing. This is also the preferred mode for astronomical applications when you use the AutoStar controller for automatic object location and tracking.

Customer Review: It’s NOT the Hubble…but for under $300, really delivers.
If you take the time to calibrate the motors, train the drives, and lay it level, point to true North, it does go to objects asked for.
And if you use the high precision mode, it references to a proximal known point, then slews accurately to the asked-for object. A final caveat - use lower power for searches, then up the power. Optics are crisp for this price point.
Customer Review: Poor way to allocate your telescope dollars
This scope seems to have, on the surface, a lot to recommend it- decent optics, computer guidance, etc., and to the novice amateur astronomer, it looks like a pretty good deal. Meade’s pushing it as a slightly smaller version fo their very popular ETX90- but is it?
The ETX 90 is a long-focus Maksutov-Cassegrain- their attempt to clone the Questar at a fraction of the cost. The ETX doesn’t really compare to the Questar (not surprising, as Questar spends more on the optics than the ETX costs!) but it’s still pretty good for the money. An ETX90 can deliver sharp images up to perhaps 200x under ideal conditions.
The ETX80, though, is a very different animal. It’s a short-focus 80mm refractor- sort of like half of a pair of binoculars- on a computer drive. And a short focus scope of this size is really only good up to about 40x magnification before secondary color starts blurring the image. Yes, you can see the rings of Saturn, but a decent pair of 7×50 binoculars will show you that as well.
The computer guide is less useful than it might seem; it takes time to set up and align and is really not needed on such a low powered telescope. You don’t need a computer to find the moon, the larger planets or the brighter objects that this scope is capable of seeing. What you have, in essence, is a $150 telescope on a $150 computerized mount. In that price range, it’s silly to spend half your budget on automation.
If you have $300 for a telescope, Amazon also sells Orion Dobsonian reflectors in various sizes that have far more light gathering ability and can see much dimmer objects. They’re also steady as a rock. They may not have the same high-tech coolness factor, but they never need batteries, and for the typical beginner they’re a much better choice. buy from here…
Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker, 2 Medium/2 Fine
July 21, 2008
Includes 2 sets of high alumina ceramic stones. There is a pair of medium grit and a pair of fine grit rods. Comes with a instructional book and video.
Customer Review: Easy and effective.
I have had other sharpeners, from plain stones to sharpening jigs, but this sharpening system works far better, and faster. I like the way all the parts fit together into a nice storage case, but really the most important part is how well the knives come out. Razor sharp, easy.
Customer Review: Beauty In Simplicity
The Sharpmaker is well named. I have tried very hard to make my Lansky Deluxe system work but only got fair results at best. I used the Sharpmaker on a knife I had very carefully sharpened on the Lansky and saw an immediate and profound improvement. I am an engineer and was drawn to the Lansky angle control system believing that I would have best control with this system. However, in practice, the Sharpmaker gives outstanding results quickly and easily. You literally will be able to get your knives sharper than when they were new and unused. Very few products deliver on the level of the Sharpmaker. Great product. Sharpens more than just knives as well. Watch the DVD as soon as you get it. Then you’ll want to sharpen everything in the house. You’ll be hooked. buy from here…

Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed

Customer Review: Coleman Bed
I needed a bed right away that would be small enough to fit in a confined space for a guest that would be at my home over the Christmas Season, the Coleman 4-1 seemed to fit my needs. I received the bed just prior to my guest’s arrival and was very pleased at it’s construction, I love the fill valve’s as well as the soft top. The bed was easy to fill and stayed full for the week my guest used it. The only problems I saw with the bed are these; It is a bit short for a tall person, and when stacked getting close to the edge of the bed can cause some unwanted movement. If you are 5′8″ tall and sleep close to the center of the bed in the stacked position, you will love the thing. IF you open the bed up you will be happy all the way around. The price was good, the bed had reasonable comfort, and great construction. I would buy again if needed.
