Works well overall. It gets up most spots in the kitchen without scrubbing. I agree with other commenters that the handle is rather flimsy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

With satellite and center speakers and a subwoofer, this Yamaha YHT-4910UBL home theater system creates enveloping sound. To build a complete 3D home theater system, you'll also need a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV and a high-speed HDMI cable.
 
Good system

We bought this as an open box item. We ended up having to buy more wire, but it was easy to set up the speakers. The receiver took a bit longer, since there are no specific instructions for how to hook up an antenna. Eventually we figured it out, but it's hooked up in a different port than the preset TV button. It works though, and the sound is great! Note: don't forget to buy your cords to hook up to the TV too!

What's great about it: Powerful, doesn't tangle
What's not so great: Heavy, short hose
I really like this vacuum. The first time we went through the house, we had to empty it so many times because our old vacuum missed so much. It is heavy and a bit too wide to fit on steps. That, combined with the short hose, makes it a bit awkward to handle stairs, but the hose is really powerful. It's definitely worth the hefting up and down the stairs for the power it has. It also handles hair and string really well. Our old vacuum often got stuff tangled around the rollers, but this one hasn't gotten tangled once. The tools are convenient on board and work very well. Overall, a great vacuum for a good price.
This product is or has... Enough suction that a single-pass does the job, Useful tools, A great pet hair picker upper, Long enough cord
About me... Budget Conscious, Pet owner, small family

What's great about it: Lightweight, easy to carry, good for indoors
What's not so great: Not very sturdy for a big camera
This tripod is great to take hiking as it is lightweight and can be carried easily; however, it will tip over if it is windy. This will happen with any small tripod though, as the base is obviously smaller. If you take precautions and use good judgment on whether to use it, there is no reason this isn't a great tool when taking pictures. The tripod seems to hold up well to being extended and put away often.

Can this speaker be used with the Insignia 19" TV?

Additional connecting cords needed?
It has a standard Aux connector, like the ones on headphones. If your TV has that connector, then yes. However, most TVs do not have that connector. These are pretty much computer/music player speakers.

Is a "male to male audio cable" needed in addtion to the shown product speakers?

We were able to connect these with the cord that came in the box.

How much does this vacuum weigh?

I've seen estimates about 17 pounds, which seems pretty accurate. It is definitely hefty.

Air coming out of vacuum seem very hot, is this normal?

Just bought this vacuum, ran it for a few minutes and tested everything out, it cleaned more stuff out of the hall way carpet than we've gotten out in the last year with the old vacuum. However, it seems to be running hotter than the old vacuum, is this normal? The hot air is coming out from where the HEPA filter is, so the location is normal. I'm just worried that this excess heat will wear the machine out quicker. Old model is a Dirt Devil Breeze Bag-less purchased about 10 years ago.
This one does seem to run warm, but it's also important to pull the cord out all the way when using. This is a bit inconvenient, but it's recommended in the instructions. If you leave the cord in, it will really heat up.
