Energize your cleaning routine with this Shark Rotator Lift-Away vacuum. Its dual-brush rolls easily sweep up debris, while the detachable canister simplifies reaching under furniture or accessing tight spots. The sealed design and HEPA filter of this Shark Rotator Lift-Away vacuum keep 99.99 percent of dust and allergens trapped inside.

I purchased this Shark with my own money, it was Not a gift so my review is honest and unbiased. I now own three Shark vacuums (Rotator Powered Lift Away XL and the Rocket Complete DuoClean) and this new Shark is like both of those combined in one vacuum. I Love the dual brushroll feature as you can vacuum any floor type or surface with ease and get it spotless clean, combined with the powered lift away design. This Shark is lightweight (similar to the Shark Speed) and has sealed HEPA filtration and is relatively quiet. It's powerful and does a beautiful job cleaning. It's very easy to maneuver and I love the Lift Away feature to get low and underneath furniture. I highly recommend this vacuum and if you only buy one Shark, I recommend this model as it's the most versatile and great for all floor types. The only slight down side to this model, and it's not a deal breaker, is the location of the power switch. It is located low on the body of the vacuum near the dirt canister handle and as a tall guy, I have to reach down rather low to turn it on and off. Also, they put the Lift Away release button on the exact opposite side of the power switch, so there is a slight learning curve until you get used to which button is which. I wish the power switch was on the handle, like my Rotator Powered Lift Away XL. Other than that, I love it and have no complaints and recommend this to anyone needing a deep cleaning, easy to use vacuum. Oh, I also like that Shark gives this vacuum a Seven year warranty, most other vacuums offer one year or at best a five year warranty. This would be perfect for RV Campers and smaller homes too as it is very easy to store and is compact in size while still performing like a full sized vacuum. I currently use it on my main floor (mostly hardwood) and keep the other Shark lift away upstairs where most of the floors are carpeted. All around a great Vacuum, Thanks Shark, Thanks Best Buy!

Excellent Cleaning Dishwasher, Very Quiet!
on April 26, 2017
Posted by: HonestJoe68
from Mansfield, Ohio
I highly recommend this SPT dishwasher, I own it and bought it with my own money, so my opinion is unbiased and truthful. This dishwasher is extremely quiet and has cleaned all my dishes perfectly and spotless. All my dishes fit easily and I was nicely surprised to find how much you can fit inside. I use Corelle dishes and I can wash a full service for 8 (plus more) easily in one load. I love the timer countdown feature and the chime that plays when the dishwasher is finished. It's also the only washer I could find that matches all my other Stainless Steel and black trimmed appliances, but I highly recommend it for much more than it's appearance. The manual is easy to read, you get a dish loading chart with pictures (nice for newbies) and detailed pre-wash, wash, rinse and dry times and temperatures as well as the time it will take to complete each of the six cycles offered. My previous 18" portable dishwasher was 8 years old (was white exterior so replaced with the new stainless steel appliances I bought here at Best Buy) and even back then cost more than this SPT, but it didn't have as many features, nor did it wash as well as this dishwasher. The quality of the build is very good and the stainless steel interior is better than a lot of the higher priced standard sized washers I've seen. I also love the Adjustable top rack with flip down holders for stemware or to use as a small shelf. The racks are a high quality, very sturdy and the taupe color rack coating feels soft and thick to protect fine dishes. I really love the bottom shelf has two flip down dish guides (See pics) for when you want to wash a larger bowl or pots and pans, very useful. All together I highly recommend this great dishwasher and can I say again how Quiet it is! I've included pics of the interior as they were almost none existent online, so I hope that helps. Any questions I'd be glad to answer them. Thanks

Amazing Performance for Cordless!

Amazing, This Dyson DC59 Cordless vacuum performs like a full sized vacuum. The power of this vacuum is amazing and the floor tool with combination brushes and carbon fiber clean every floor spotless. I highly recommend this Dyson, the proof is in it's performance, you buy a vacuum to clean up dirt, dust and hair from floors and furniture. This Dyson cleans with such great performance, it's worth every penny. After first time using it, I looked at the super fine powder, clumps of dirt, dust and lots of pet hair in the dirt cup, and was very impressed! (Even kind of grossed out) The carpets, I first cleaned with my DC59, had been vacuumed with my DC41 the day before, but with a small dog I usually vacuum every day. Anyhow, please try this Dyson, you will be glad you did as it will clean so much out of your carpet and off your floors, it will amaze you. Also, Dyson listens to it's customers, they re-designed the on/off trigger of this vacuum and made it super easy to engage. Thanks for reading my review!

Charge your Apple® iPod® or iPhone at home or on the go with this convenient USB power adapter.
Posted by: HonestJoe68
from Mansfield, Ohio
Typical genuine Apple accessory, it serves an important function while having a pleasant sleek look. Both ends plug in securely and its compact enough to take along on travels. The only slight downside, I wish Apple still offered a compact USB power source with the Folding A/C prongs. You have to be mindful of where you put it in your bag or case, so as to not bend the prongs or scratch something in the same bag. That is the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star! Otherwise, a required accessory for any Apple device!
What's great about it: Compact Size and Style
What's not so great: No more folding A/C prongs

This surge protector uses Clean Power Stage 2 v.2.1 circuitry to filter electronic noise while protecting your A/V equipment from damaging power fluctuations. The color-coded labels make it easy to keep track of which component is connected to which outlet.

Excellent to protect High End Electronics!
on April 3, 2012

from Mansfield, Ohio
I love this power center for many reasons. Among the top reasons, it shows the electric current so you know at a glance what is your power flow. It also indicates the power protection is on, the ground is ok and the wiring is ok. etc. Also, there is a red LED that indicates abnormal voltage so you know when the Monster is protecting your electronics. The best part of this device is the peace of mind and simplicity of set up. You take it out of the box, the back is printed what is plugged in where, and then you plug in the unit and your done! Very nice and worth the $ for the massive protection you get for your electronics! Which today, lets face it, electronics are not cheap and you don't want to worry every time there is a lightening storm or power surge. The device looks nice with other electronics, you don't feel like you have to hide it on a back shelf. It even has a button you can push to dim the LED indicators or turn them all Off if you choose, especially nice if you like watching Movies in the dark! I Highly Recommend Monster!
What's great about it: Sleek Look
What's not so great: Unit gets a little warm

Love this Concert!

Great concert video. It shows Lady GaGa in a more personal way as she speaks to this concert audience in between some songs, so you get to know her as a person. It doesn't feel like the concert is being interrupted when she reflects either, so don't think it's song, then talk then song, etc. The music is very good on this Bluray and Lady GaGa's voice is strong and clear on this concert.. you can tell it's live and that she has great vocal talent. Love and highly recommend this concert Bluray!

Another Apple Product to LOVE!

I use it in...:Apartment
I love the Apple TV, it is so small but yet performs so big! It is great to use with an iPod touch or iPhone, as it connects itself quickly and easily. The main use I bought it for, is to view my movies and videos stored on my iPod, on my TV. The movie and video quality is great and it's easy and wireless to view everything on your iPod or iPhone. Also, it's nice to view YouTube and Netflix with this Apple TV. The remote control is very nice, made of aluminum so it's sturdy but quality buttons with all the functions of the iPod or iPhone. I Love this Apple product, it proves I cannot go wrong with anything Apple produces.

I took it out of the box, charged it for several hours, Started cleaning a hardwood floor and within a few minutes it just quit working. It just died. I ended up with a shark, about 1/4 the price and it works

Read the Dyson DC44 Instructions First!
January 18, 2013
If you had bothered to read and follow the instructions that come with the Dyson DC44, you would have read that this vacuum requires Five and a half hours of charge time Before initial use! Per your own review you stated "I took it out of the box, charged it for several hours, Started cleaning...". Several hours is 2 to 3 hours, Not the required 5.5 hours. So you get the output according to how you charge this unit. Also, if you were using the Boost mode, then that explains your short run time experience. Either way, this vacuum is a cordless unit for Light and Quick clean ups, Not a full sized corded vacuum. Oh and good luck trying to get Shark to help you with anything that will break on your new Shark, and trust me it WILL break eventually as I know from much experience with Shark sweepers and vacs. Thanks and good luck! P.S. before you ask NO I do Not work for, nor a spokesperson for Dyson. I just know you get what you pay for as far as quality and service, Dyson is second to none. One last comment, if you had bothered to call Dyson's toll free number they would have been happy to resolve any issues and explain to you the proper ways to get the best performance from the DC44. Thanks

Yes, this SPT can be installed as a built in unit.
July 6, 2017
Hi Lariti, yes this awesome SPT dishwasher can be professionally installed (or by a reasonably skilled do it yourself er) with a simple kit you can buy to convert the water inlet and discharge hoses and yes the casters and top board (if desired) can be removed. I checked with SPT as well as a friend at Best Buy to confirm this dishwasher can be installed as a built in unit and both said yes. I still highly recommend this dishwasher and have No regrets other than I wish I'd found it much sooner. Beware what other people stated in reviews as their misinformed. One, Best Buy's Geek Squad protection plan (yes I bought the BB warranty) for this SPT is for IN Home service, you do NOT take it into the store. Second, I've called SPT when checking on installation questions for you, and they were super nice and very helpful. I hope this helps. Thanks, Jon (HonestJoe68)

The front looks great, but what do the sides and top look like? Color and material. Butcher block top? Sides are exposed, so side appearance/color is important. More photos, BB!
Hi, the sides and back are beautifully finished in a gloss black, smooth metal surround. The top is a durable thick Board with a nice finish similar to good quality Formica in a flat black color. My entire kitchen is Stainless trimmed in black, new LG brand appliances and this SPT looks gorgeous in my kitchen next to them. My Dishwasher sets against the end of my eat at bar counter and looks great, it's the same height as standard countertops (36 inches) so it beautifully extends my counters and appears almost to be built in. I hope this helps, Jon (HonestJoe68)

What are the outside dimensions of this washer? (Height, width, depth)
I measured my SPT dishwasher and it has the following dimensions. Height from floor to top of unit, 36 inches, Width of course is 18 inches and Depth (including control panel and top counter overhang) 24 3/4 inches. Hope this helps. Jon (HonestJoe68)

How long on the hoses and are they retractable? What is the shortest cycle?
Hi, water supply/drainage hoses are approximately 36 inches from the back of the washer to the connector, when extended. Yes they retract as well as the power cord, out of the way into a nice cubby in the back. The shortest cycle is 25 minutes for "quick rinse" cycle but the shortest complete wash cycle is the "speed wash" which takes 65 minutes. The six cycles run from the 25 minutes to 135 minutes for "heavy wash" lots of choices and all work excellent for the appropriately named cycles. I hope this helps, Jon (HonestJoe68)

How long is the power cord? Does the canister cart come with this model?
The Cord is 30 feet long. This Shark package from Best Buy does NOT include the Canister Cart, but is for sale on the Shark website. If you buy this same vacuum directly from Shark you will still end up paying for the Canister Cart, so you really don't get it "free" in any configuration from any stores. Honestly, I have the Canister Cart for my larger Rotator Powered Lift Away XL, bought here at Best Buy, and I rarely use it. So I'd guess that unless you're going from a canister type vacuum to this Shark, you probably wouldn't need the Canister Cart. Hope this helps and I highly recommend this Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away DuoClean vacuum. Thanks

Is there an extended warranty for this dishwasher? If yes- how much and what does it cover? Where would my daughter have to take it to for repairs?
Hi Rhonda, Yes you can buy the Geek Squad Protection for this SPT dishwasher at $59.99 for Three years coverage or $99.99 for Five year Geek Squad service coverage. I highly recommend Geek Squad coverage overall, in general, as Best Buy has done an excellent job in taking care of claims I've had on past appliances or electronics. I personally bought the 5 year plan because I couldn't find much information online regarding longevity of this brand and figured $99 is affordable. The Best Buy website and store representatives both indicated to me that Dishwashers covered by Geek Squad include In-Home Service. I hope this helps.
