Portable Auto Friction Mount for Select Garmin GPS - Black
Position your GPS receiver for easy viewing in your vehicle with this friction mount.
Couldn't use it.
Customer Rating
3.0
There wasn't room between the dash and the windshield to use this mount. I had to go back to the original windshield suction cup. But, it would have been a great mount for a different car.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wish I could combine the features of my old Nuvi 50 and this one. The "print" is smaller and harder for me to read, but I like the ability to use Basecamp and program the route I want to take. The voice command is a nice feature to be able control the unit and keep focused on the driving.

I needed a router that the WIFI would be accessible through out the house. This router was easy and painless to set up and it does what it is supposed to do without any intervention on my part.

Very nice TV for the price. The only complaint I have is that the sound could be set a little louder. Otherwise it was an easy setup and nice sharp picture.

When I looked at this camera in the store the shutter was stuck open and the lens was jammed in the extended position. The sales associate said that is because the demo models get a lot of rough use from customers. I bought one anyway but after thinking about it overnight I decided to return the camera because of what might happen and I'd be stuck with the repair costs. Took it back to the store and bought a L840 instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A fast memory chip is needed to record "burst photos" with any digital camera. I've got 4 of these memory cards and they all perform as advertised.

I have two Nikon DSLR cameras and after using this L840 I am almost tempted to trade one of them with my Granddaughter. The only thing that I don't like is trying to view the screen in sunlight or a bright day. That is where the DSLR is better than the L840. Otherwise great photos and easy to use.

I upload youtube videos and stream regularly, but it takes me 24 hours to upload a 30 min video and theres about a 8 min delay when I stream. My current upload speed is 1.20 Mbps. I need something like 10 Mbps upload speed at least. (part 1 of 2)
IF your ISP can supply 10 mbps this router should give you a lot more throughput. Not cheap, but very robust.

Hoover - Power Scrub Deluxe Corded Carpet Upright Deep Cleaner - Red
Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe FH50150 Carpet Upright Deep Cleaner: Bring your carpets back to life with an exceptionally deep clean. A three-step process washs with a circular cleaning motion, rinses with clean water, and quickly dries your carpet with heated air for a thorough clean that you can see and feel.
What accessories are included?
I was looking at this exact same carpet cleaner on Amazon, and in its description of accessories that come with the carpet cleaner, there's a lot more listed? For this carpet cleaner there's only a crevice tool and upholstery tool included, but the one on Amazon includes the crevice tool, upholstery tool, stair tool, spinscrub powered hand tool, 8' hose and mesh storage bag. I checked the number and they're the exact same carpet cleaner, so does the one here on Best Buy not come with all those extras like the one on Amazon?
Mine did. I got all the attachments you listed.

Does this deep cleaner heat the water?
Does this deep cleaner heat the water? Some cleaners have water heaters to maintain the water temperature others dont so I need to know if this is one with a heater for the cleaning water.
Nope. But if you fill the water tank with hot water from the tap, it stays hot enough for any cleaning. My former floor scrubber had a heater in it and I cannot see that it did any better at cleaning. (Not even close to the Hoover!)

Does pet hair get caught in the brushes?
I have a long haired cat and even after vacuuming there is still hair left on my rugs. My current machine gets it off but I have to constantly collect the strands of the wet matted fur as I go. I am looking for a new machine with better features and lighter, but am concerned about the brushes clogging.
We have a Saint Bernard and two cats and the hair caught in the brushes is minimal. If there is any hair entwined in the brushes, they are so easy to remove from the machine to clean it is no problem.
