A welcome improvement over the original Wii Fit
on February 7, 2010
Posted by: bc3tech
from Minneapolis, MN
After owning the original Wii Fit system and game, this extension to the original appears to have taken in to account many of the things I know I wished they'd have included in the original. The better upside here is that Nintendo did what was RIGHT and is only charging $20 for this if you already bought the original Wii Fit system - instead of $40-$50 as though it's a new game.
As an owner, I use the Fit mostly to strength train, and this is where this system falls short. While it does include workouts to assist with this, the pre-set regimens available on Plus don't include anything geared toward strength training. I wish they'd have put as much focus on this as they did on weight LOSS.
Overall the new games, and new workouts, are a welcome addition and improvement over the original.
What's great about it: "wishes" after owning original Wii Fit mostly granted
What's not so great: Preset training regimens could've used more NOT geared just toward weight loss
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this after much debate on whether or not I wanted to run the wires from my receiver along the wall to rear speakers, since that's not really hard to do, or go w/ a wireless set up to avoid having to do any "real" work. After Christmas I got this w/ my Best Buy gift cards and haven't been sorry. Up until this point I was running all 5 of my speakers from the entertainment stand - not true surround sound at all - but after setting this up we are now IN the movies, TV shows, and even Football stadiums and we love it. I don't know what the main difference between this system, seemingly an older model, and Rocketfish's new "HD Audio" system - but this works just FINE for my 5.1 setup from a Onkyo A/V receiver.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, does what it needs to do w/o a lot of configuring
What's not so great: To me, price is a bit high. Also sucks to have to plug in the rear unit
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keep your clothes and washing machine sparkling with these Affresh tablets. They remove soap residue and mildew odors, so washed clothes smell fresh, and they're specially engineered for use with high-efficiency washers. Drop one of these Affresh tablets in an empty washer for cleaner clothes, and their formula is safe to use with septic systems.

I picked this up on the advice of a BB associate. Took it home and followed the instructions for if your washer is already smelly. Instructions say to use all 3 that are in the pouch, one after another, on the hottest setting your washer can do. When this was done, the odor that was in my washer was noticibly less, but not QUITE taken care of - hence the 4-star rating.
To maintain freshness, you're supposed to use one tablet once a month on the hottest setting. I decided to do mine always at the start of each month and am headed to my local BB today to pick up another pack.
What's great about it: Quick & easy, pleasant smell
What's not so great: Doesn't QUITE take care of an already-smelly washer
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this phone for personal use after having an Android phone for the past two years. When I came over I knew that I would have to re-purchase a lot of apps and that I was going to lose a lot of Google integration. Here are the main points I found coming over from Android to this phone:
Speed:
This thing is fast compared to the Android phone I had before and a lot of other much newer Android phones I have played with. The UI for Windows Phone 8 is smooth and responsive with no delay. Also, this thing gets 3 out of 5 bars of LTE service where my HTC Thunderbolt was only getting 1 bar out of 5 before.

Software:
App selection in the Windows App Store is pretty good. I was surprised to see the majority of the apps I used on Android available in one form or another on the Windows phone. Unfortunately what was missing was the stuff I used the most. This phone has no voice guided navigation unless you like using VZ Navigator for $2 a month. The Nokia phones use something called Nokia HERE but there is no such app for this HTC phone. The only option is a directions list that comes up on 3/4 of the screen under a tiny map. I travel a lot so this is a deal breaker for me that I didn't realize until I had used the phone for a few days. Otherwise I just miss my Google applications (drive, voice, currents, etc.) which is something to consider for anyone thinking about switching.

Look and feel:
Fantastic. This thing is built to be solid. At the bottom edge there's a slight gap between the polycarbonate and the screen where you can see light but it might just be a defect on the phone I have. My only complaint here is that the Micro USB charging slot is on the bottom of the phone which is where I usually put the weight of the phone on my pinky. If you're prone to holding and using this phone with one hand then make sure it's comfortable for you! My pinky is starting to rub raw where the polycarbonate stops and the charging port begins. This also makes it hard to charge the phone in the car right-side-up without using some kind of cradle.

Overall (TLDR):
Great phone with mobile OS growing pains. If it had a free navigation app that actually did turn-by-turn real time navigation then it would make a great daily driver. Know what you're getting and make sure to hold this phone before you commit to it! Also, if you have more than 14GB of music/photos and you actually want to use this phone for media then look at a different phone. 16GB of internal memory with no expandable storage and the OS takes 2GB.

turn by turn = nokia drive, no?
November 26, 2012
Doesn't Nokia Drive come on the device, and offer the Turn-by-turn nav you're wanting?

Clean hard floors and rugs with this BISSEL CrossWave Cordless Max multisurface wet/dry vacuum. The multisurface design vacuums and washes floors simultaneously, and the powerful battery offers up to 30 minutes of use per charge. This BISSEL CrossWave Cordless Max multisurface wet/dry vacuum includes a docking station that charges the battery and automatically cleans out dirt and debris.
do it have a fond so to speak to be able to get into corners and reach for ceiling molding cleaning?
You definitely won't be reaching up in the air w/ this thing. The weight + containers of water would make it very difficult/impossible/messy.

How cups of coffee can it brew at once?
One, unless you split the output of the two spouts across two containers; but I believe it's intended just to brew in to one cup. The setting to adjust the amt of coffee that comes out can be used to adjust from 1-3, but the manual doesn't state how many oz/ml this equates to. However, the "My Brew" capability lets you set the 3 setting to whatever amount you choose so, in effect, it can brew as large a cup as you can fit under the spout! Not sure how it works w/ grinding/replenishing the beans during the brew, though.

Can I use this projector for movies and video games ?
Absolutely, HDMI input is great! Quality isn't even 480p but I haven't minded one bit.
