Amazon.com Product Description
The Black & Decker 24-volt cordless mulching mower gives you the power to mow or mulch your lawn without the mess, noise, smell and hassle of a gas-powered mower or the limitations of a cord. Using a 24-volt sealed lead acid battery, this mower has enough power to mow up to a 1/3-acre lawn on one charge (grass conditions will affect run-time). It can be operated as a mower by attaching a bag to catch the clippings, or it can be operated as an effective mulcher using a mulch plate; both the bag and the mulch plate are included. The rechargeable 24-volt battery conveniently regains up to 60-70 percent of its full power in only 4 hours, and up to 100 percent in 16 hours; the mower turns on quickly with just a switch. All four wheels can easily be adjusted with a one-touch lever to shift the blade height from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches; the push handle folds down when not in use for more compact storage. This product comes fully assembled, is backed by a full 2-year warranty, and the 19-inch, tough polymer cutting deck has a lifetime warranty.

Amazon.com Buying Guide
Five Tips for Buying a Mower
Choosing a lawn mower is a matter of sifting through a bewildering array of types, power ratings, and fuel sources. Let's break it down a little to make the process easier.

What types of walk-behind mowers are there?
There are four basic choices: push reel, electric, cordless, and gas. All have strengths and weaknesses.

Push reel mowers are powered by you. They're quiet, they don't need cords or recharging, and they don't pollute. But on large lawns, you might not want the workout you get when using a push reel mower. They also tend to be less effective on grass taller than two inches.
Electric mowers need to be plugged into an outlet to power them, which means you're constrained by the location of power outlets, the length of your power cord, and any obstacles that may snag the cord. If you have a small yard but don't want the forced exercise of using a push reel mower, an electric mower may be for you.
Cordless mowers are powered by a rechargeable battery. You don't have to deal with the hassles of keeping a cord plugged in, but battery life becomes a constraint. Depending on the battery capacity, the size of your yard, and the height of your grass, you may not be able to complete your mowing job on one charge.
Gas mowers offer the most power, which is best if you'll be mowing tall, dense grass or if your yard is larger than 2,000 square feet. But you will have to keep gas and oil on hand as well as keep the engine serviced.

What do all the power measurements mean?
All that matters to you is whether the lawn mower's blade will spin fast enough to cut your grass. Unfortunately, mowers are rated in far more technical terms.

For gas mowers, there are three power measurements you may see:

horsepower (hp) refers to the amount of power the engine can produce;
torque is the amount of horsepower that is transferred to the blade;
cc (cubic centimeters) is another to measure an engine's power based on the displacement volume of its cylinders.

There also are two types of engines: two-stroke (also referred to as two-cycle) and four-stroke (or four-cycle). Conventional wisdom is that two-stroke engines offer more power but also more pollution.
For electric and cordless mowers, power often is measured in volts, amps, or watts. To satisfy your inner techie, here's how to calculate the horsepower:
79. Multiply the volts by the amps to get the wattage.
80. Divide the wattage by 746 to get the horsepower.

More horsepower doesn't always mean more cutting power. That's why, starting in 2007, most lawnmower manufacturers began rating walk-behind lawn mowers in torque power or cc's--not horsepower. If torque isn't available for a gas mower, higher cc figures usually mean higher torque (and more fuel used per stroke, incidentally).

However, you don't want to buy a mower based on the power measurement alone. Make sure it has the features, warranty, and quality of reviews you're seeking.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Nintendo's Wii video game system (pronounced "we") brings people of all ages and video game experience together to play. This simple yet ground breaking idea is expressed not only though the system's evocative name, which is easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and suggests two players side by side, but also through its innovative list of features and extensive list of playable titles.

A Little Box With Plenty of Power
As with every console, much of the buzz surrounds the specs. The Wii boasts 512 MB of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a slot for SD memory expansion. The system's technological heart -- a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway" and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named "Hollywood" -- deliver stunning performance. And instead of a tray, Wii uses a single, self-loading media bay that plays both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system, as well as Nintendo GameCube discs.

Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower.

Under the Hood

Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system

Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage this console package includes a 120GB hard drive. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library.

Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.

The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library.

Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to the new Xbox Live Silver. The included service lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Third time's the charm...
The Xbox 360 Elite was the second unit I purchased and despite a service return to Microsoft, I did receive a new unit and had no problems at the time of this review. The 120 GB hard drive and 30 feet wireless control
use are plenty... the InterCooler unit was extra but I was encouraged to buy one. Every 360 game I purchased I was able to play and many of the original Xbox titles play well (Halo and Halo 2 are wonderful). I give 2 thumbs up for the `Elite.

Xbox 360 Elite
This product is simply amazing! when i took it out of the box i was very impressed on the black matte look much better than polished (it get's a lot of finger print's) also the game library is huge. Xbox live is genius I mean I can download bio shock demo while kicking but play halo 3 online. system is not very loud yes it does make some racket but you wont notice it during regular activities. it does not over heat my friend and I played halo 3 all night long for 15 hour's the first day I got it. just elevate it on it's box that it come in and make sure a ceiling fan is on to keep air flow going graphic's are amazing on my 47 inch LCD wide screen 1080p HDTV very realistic on halo 3 over all I say it was very much worth the money for all of it this is the best bang for you're buck.

Best experience online
The xbox is the best experience online, i dont know how is in second place in the system war... I can recommend this system very much, please buy a xbox and your experience online will be unforgotten... This is the next generation

Red is in, and A.D.D. is out.
What can I say? I have the attention span of a gnat. This product helps me keep that under control during long flights, or road trips. The Red case is very nice and the slim version is also compact and fits nicely into my messenger bag.

I worry about dropping it so I suggest you buy a hard case for it. For the price you get a great game and a funny movie, but I DO think they could have added a memory card in the set.

All in all, you still save money by buying this set and God of War: C.O.O. is probably one of the best games out on the system atm.

The net surfing and the additional options are astonishing and I find myself surfing the web when I get board in the airport playing games and such.

God of War: Chains of Olympus:

Before he waged war on the gods...he was forced to serve them

The third game in the God of War franchise, God of War: Chains of Olympus for PlayStation Portable is a prequel to the first two games in the series published for PlayStation 2, and true the high standards of God of War and God of War II, not only does it equal the efforts of its predecessors, in some ways it may even surpass them.

Kratos' Story
The God of War franchise tells the tragic and violent story of the warrior Kratos and his dealings with the gods. The ancient world would eventually both praise and damn the infamous `Ghost of Sparta' as the mortal who slayed a god, but long before his battle with Ares, Kratos sought absolution from his past sins by pledging himself as a champion to the gods. These brutal crusades in the name of Olympus became legendary, but would have far-reaching consequences. In Chains of Olympus Kratos is pushed to the edge as he is ordered by the gods to journey to the very depths of the underworld after the world plunges into darkness. There he must face the most feared creatures of Greek mythology and is forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction. It is a choice that will shake the immortals from their perches on Mt. Olympus.

God of War's Epic Gameplay Comes to the PSP
PlayStation Portable has always been head and shoulders above its competitors in the handheld market when it comes to processing power, and in God of War: Chains of Olympus the PSP platform may just have reached its highest level to date. Packed with features like dramatic camera angles, epic set pieces, cinematic cut scenes, stirring audio and seamless fast action gameplay, formerly only available on console platforms Chains of Olympus binds players to the game's epic adventure, regardless where they are when they join in the action.

Combat Moves, Both Old and New
Nearly as defining as the name of Kratos itself, the trademark sweeping attack moves of the `Ghost of Sparta' using his weapon of choice the `Blades of Chaos,' epitomizes all God of War games and Chains of Olympus is no exception.

Although overall the PSP has fewer buttons than the PlayStation 2 controller, developer Ready at Dawn Studios has managed to incorporate nearly all of the attack moves and combination moves from previous games in the series into this new project. This continuity in gameplay not only provides a seamless intro into the game for veteran players, but a gentle learning curve for players new to the series. Add to this new brutal combat moves and an additional upgradable weapon and you have a combat system that will engage players at all levels.

Exploration and Puzzle Solving
From the bright gates of Attica to the darkest dungeons of Tartarus, Kratos' journey and your own will take you through the dark and brutal world of Greek mythology. Here not only will your skill with the Blades of Chaos be tested, but your wits as well.

As you explore the dangers of the ancient world, players must be prepared to use their navigational skills as they press on through labyrinths of challenging puzzles. Some may be simple tests at manipulating the game's environment to your advantage, while others much more difficult also requiring precision timing of moves, but each will be different and test you in new ways.

An Evolution in Franchise History
More than just a missing piece in the history of the God of War franchise, Chains of Olympus also serves as an evolutionary link between the origins of the God of War franchise and its future. Originally developed for PlayStation 2, the future of the franchise is slated to make its arrival on PlayStation 3 in the form of the highly anticipated God of War III in the not too distant future. Not only is PlayStation Portable designed to work in unison with PlayStation 3 in many ways, but both long-time fans and newcomers to the series who choose to watch and play Chains of Olympus carefully may very well pick up clues as to the direction the franchise will be heading in with God of War III.

Regardless, whether you find yourself playing for the current chapter in Kratos' saga or preparing yourself for the battles to come on the PlayStation 3, God of War: Chains of Olympus is a must have title for any current owner of a PSP or those consid ering getting in the handheld game with one.

VERY BAD SERVICE FROM AMAZON..DONT BUY FROM HERE
I ordered for my PSP with a SanDisk memory card. The order estimated time was 4th August. On the day i could see the status to be delivered but i was not delivered by anything.
I had to dig out as to how to contact amazon and then they also just narrated the same stuff written on the web site and also said to wait for few more days before any action that can be taken from there side.

This is the second time happening with the amazon. They just want to keep there records up for the shipment. User satisfaction is not at all important....... Amazon is going bad in there delivery stuff.

I would say try buying the same stuff from CIRCUITCITY or BESTBUY or BUY.COM. Prices are same everywhere and they have good accessories collection for the same.

Too Cruel for me!!
The PSP in that color looks great!! I bought it for my older son (9 years old) and he just love it!!!!! but the game is not for him.....and when I tried to play it I found it cruel...to much violance.

The UMD movie was good....very funny!!!

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Customer Reviews

Faulty control panel, lousy customer service
Heartrate monitor doesn't work. Speed, distance, and other readouts work only occasionally. Called customer service and the representative said she'd get back to me after consulting the Bowflex tech. dept. She didn't return my call. Over the next 18 days I tried other customer service representatives, only to be told they couldn't take over an open case. Finally asked for the cust. service manager. and got a new circuit board sent, but didn't correct the problem. Very difficult to box up a 300 lb. machine and send it back. Very frustrating to be asked by Bowflex to fix a new $1400 treadmill myself. Service reps. ranged from indifferent to rude.

Solid Treadmill except for computer
This treadmill is very solid and well built. Have had this model for 2-3 years and still works great. Only shortcoming is that there is no clock and the fan does not work very well.
Hope that helps.

Solid build and performance for the price.
I put a lot of time into researching treadmills and their relative cost because my room mates and my girlfriend all felt I was crazy in the first place for considering one on my budget.

I knew the treadmills at hotels & gyms had spoiled me, because I had no interest in a flimsy model that offered little support and lackluster features. I also knew there was no way I could afford a $3,000 gym caliber treadmill. I felt this was the best compromise and I have not been disappointed with my decision.

The delivery was prompt, but it went no further than the bottom of the outside stairs to my 2nd floor apartment. Thanks to previous reviewers, I expected this. I can tell you that I weigh 160 lbs. and my room mate is about 210 lbs. We're both 26 and carrying this behemoth up a very steep and angled flight of stairs between us was nothing short of miraculous. It cost him a severely bruised big toe. I would recommend no fewer than 3 healthy and reasonably strong individuals to attempt this.

We have neighbors below us, and hardwood floors, so noise and protection was a concern. I had purchased a "heavy duty" extra long mat which helped protect the floor, but was not enough to muffle the inevitable thumping sound. I purchased an additional set of interlocking foam gym floor pieces that I placed over the mat and I found the two together made it as sound proof as we could manage within reason.

Assembly is never fun, and this was no exception, but given the size of the item, it was relatively painless. Thankfully, one of my room mates is an engineer, so between the both of us we managed it in under an hour.

I have had the treadmill for a few months now and I am very pleased with its overall performance. It is relatively quiet compared to some of the other models I have used. The range of features meets and exceeds my needs. I have not noticed the general knee/ankle discomfort that can come with a worn/low quality treadmill so far. I generally run 3 miles 3 times a week. The display is a bit illogical in some regards, but having to wait a few seconds for the distance to show up again in the cycle of calories, time, and pace is hardly a make or break point for me. The fan is underpowered and close to useless, but I do feel a slight breeze and I suppose I probably would not want a powerful fan blowing in my face the whole time I ran anyway.

That it is able to fold up quite easily and still feel as solid as a gym model is a testament to its construction. The flaws are minor and the performance is a deal at this price in my opinion.

Editorial Reviews

Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower, and in the process puts true Next-Gen power right at your fingertips.

Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system

Under the Hood
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor loaded with 10 MB of embedded DRAM, 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines and Unified shader architecture. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, users can choose between the detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive, or a separately sold 64MB flash Memory Unit. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library.

Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library

Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to Xbox Live. The Xbox Live Silver Membership included with the console lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. You can also update to a Xbox Live Gold Membership at anytime for even more benefits. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Customer Reviews

Please do your homework before buying the xbox360...
Let me preface this review by saying that I was (and still am) in love with my 360. That is the problem. I bought my system about 1 year ago and like the other folks, I babied the thing (Seriously). This week I ran headlong into a system failure (RED RING OF DEATH) after 30 minutes of playing during the evening, in an air-conditioned house with good air circulation around the unit. I had been warned by a friend before that failure was "not a question of if but of when". At the time I didn't think it could happen to me, I babied mine. I was wrong. Since then, I have talked to 4 other people who are in the process of repair or who have had theirs repaired. Customer service has been horrible in response to this problem. They changed their policy starting 8/1/08 and no longer mail boxes out for repair. They now email a packing label. After 5 days and 4 phone calls, they are mailing a box. I thought about buying another to tide me over and then selling it on ebay. Look at ebay if you have time. They are being sold in excess, as people have bought extras when confronted with this problem and are trying to unload them. That is because the 360 has a problem. That is why they have set up a program to handle this issue and that is why people are selling them everywhere you look. Do you really want to plunk down 300+ for a machine, if it is going to fail... Who else could market a 300+ maching with such a design flaw and get away with it! At this point, I agree with my friend, failure is almost guaranteed. It is a joy to play, but to be left hanging for 3-4 weeks after it fails is a PAIN. My advice... Think twice about your purchase.

good while it lasted
the 360 is a nice system if it works beyond 1 year. many people hv experienced problem with their xbox360 after 1 year when the warranty expires. the problem is commonly known as the 3 lights of death. i hv 2 units that hv had this issue. this is supposedly caused by mechanical failure. microsoft is blaming the problem on people plugging their 360 into a surge protector. somehow plugging it into a surge protector makes the 360 work harder for power. whether that is true, u'll be the judge.

XBOX 360
Other than the broken Mic out of the box, this system has no flaws yet, except I bought it 3 days before knowing they are upgrading to the 60GB :(

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 Highlights

Super slim, lightweight design Everio has been redesigned to offer more satisfaction in a smaller, lighter body. It's one of the world's smallest and lightest hard disk camcorders, so you can shoot actively without fatigue, and travel with lots of space left over when you pack your bags.

Konica Lens

Konica Minolta lens All Everio models have been equipped with a high-performance lens developed by camera specialist, Konica Minolta. It captures clear and bright images.

Gigabred Engine Six digital noise reduction systems improve the S/N ratio by about 30 percent (3dB) over previous models, while the integrated MPEG-2 encoder helps reduce block noise and mosquito noise. It's assurance that all of those Gigabytes of video and photos you shoot will offer the best picture quality available for each recording mode.

Up to 37.5 hours recording Internal high-capacity HDD allows extremely long recording times. With the 30GB model, you can store up to 37.5 hours of video. You can choose the picture quality from four modes, from high-quality video equivalent to DVD Movie to small-sized clip ideal for uploading to the Web.

35x optical zoom Everio is equipped with an industry-leading 35x optical zoom for incredible magnification with full optical quality. Digital zoom takes you up to 800x.

HDD/microSD hybrid design In addition to a built-in hard disk drive, Everio also has a slot for microSD Card so you can store videos and stills on this commonly available memory card (not supplied). Now copy video and stills from the built-in HDD to the microSD card. Sharing is even easier.

Auto LCD backlight control Automatically adjusts brightness of the LCD backlight for comfortable viewing whether indoors or outdoors.

Auto power on/off With Everio, you don't have to use the power switch each time you operate because the power is linked to the LCD's opening and closing. Just open the LCD and the camera turns on. Close the LCD to turn the power off and avoid wasting battery power. Operation has never been easier!

Quick restart In combination with Auto Power ON, you're ready to shoot in about 1 second when the LCD is re-opened. Never miss a crucial moment.

Auto Illumi. Light Turns on automatically so you can shoot brilliant images even in low light situations.

Laser touch operation The scroll bar and buttons are touch-sensitive so you just glide your finger up or down the bar to choose menu items while its cool blue light follows your movements. You don't touch the LCD screen itself, so it won't get dirty or smudged. No fingerprints.

Laser touch operation

Image stabilizer Built-in digital image stabilizer effectively compensates for "camera-shake", enabling stable image shooting.

Built-in lens cover Slide it shut to protect the lens when the camera's not in use. It's integrated, so there's no risk of losing it like a separate lens cap.

Data battery Allows you to check the remaining battery power by percent and remaining recording time in minutes. Optional larger capacity batteries are available for purchase. Please note: This product includes patented and other proprietary technology and will operate only with JVC Data Battery.

Remote control Provided remote control to operate Everio from a distance for playback, DVD burning, etc., just like a DVD deck.

HDD protection and stability To safeguard the hard disk drive from shocks and vibrations, the Everio has a Floating Suspension System that effectively dampens vibrations through polymer shock absorbers. Also incorporated is a Gravity Sensor System that automatically senses sudden acceleration such as in a free fall situation, and turns off the power to defend the hard disk so that a head crash can be avoided even when the unit is dropped.

DV output The DV out terminal (Firewire, i.LINK, IEEE1394) on the Everio Dock enables easy dubbing to an external DVD/HDD recorder, and also allows digital-to-digital dubbing of Everio footage to a computer for advanced non-linear editing using third party software.

Simple A/V connection Just hook-up to a TV using the provided AV cable and enjoy Everio's DVD-quality picture on a large-screen TV. Or connect directly to a VCR or DVD recorder for easy copying of Everio movie clips to a VHS tape or DVD disc.

Easy sorting with event icons To make it easier to manage and search for the video clip you want to see, you can assign the appropriate category icon to it while you shoot or afterwards. It also helps when you just want to watch footage based on a certain theme, like Vacation, Birthday, Sports, etc., or when you want to burn just those scenes to a DVD.

One-touch DVD burning With an optional Share Station DVD burner or with your PC, you can burn a full-sized DVD-Video disc at the touch of a button. Just press the Direct DVD button, and the DVD burning process starts automatically. It's smart so you can even use it to automatically transfer only newly-recorded data to the burner, just the scenes you manually select, or pre-select using the Playlist.

Playlist function

Playlist function Playlist function lets you easily select the scenes you want in the order you want. Convenient for playback or for archiving to DVD.

Pre-installed picture titles When viewing or burning a DVD, you can insert a Picture Title pre-installed in the camera. With a wide selection of professionally designed title images, you can easily transform your footage into a professional looking video--without a PC!

One-touch data backup to PC Data archiving has never been easier. Just press the DIRECT BACK UP button, and data that has not yet been backed up can be transferred to a PC automatically.

Creative, convenient software included

PowerCinema NE: Makes it easy and simple to browse scenes in the camera, and enables the Direct DVD/Direct Backup function.
PowerProducer 3 NE: Offers easy authoring of video clips in any order you choose to DVD, even right from a USB-connected camera, so you can share your original DVDs with anybody who owns a DVD player.
PowerDirector 5 NE Express: Offers feature-rich, non-linear editing so you can flex your creative muscle with titles, effects, and even mix stills with videos. Also converts to a variety of file formats including DV-AVI, Windows-AVI, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, Windows Media Video and RealVideo.
Digital Photo Navigator: For organizing still images, easy image re-sizing, Web file (HTML) creation and slideshows, as well as movie file (.AVI) creation.

Customer Reviews

Satisfied until Video Playback
I thought it was such a great deal- great size, great quality on LCD, great quality playback on LCD, good price, easy to use function, and ofcourse, the greatest advantage of all- the hard disk! I was extremely satisfied until I plugged in the AV wires to my Television and found low quality playback. =/

Good, Very good, but not best...
I just purchased this product about a few weeks ago and I am satisfied with it, but there is a few things I would like to point out. I will list the Pros and Cons of this product:

Pros:

- Great video quality
- Records 7 hours on best quality
- Takes still images
- Zooms in very well
- Has good audio mics
- Lens cover

Cons:

- When I plug it in, my Internet connection fails
- It records in .mov format - not the best for editing.
- Battery lasts only an hour

So it is good, but not best. I would recommend this to people not looking for an expensive camcorder as this one is average or in other words, better than others.

decent
Seems to be a decent camera, however it has problems with the auto focus in low light situations. Only problem I have seen thus far.

Customer Reviews

love it!
I was so excited that my elliptical came in earlier than expected! Took all of the pieces out of the box and began to put it together. That was when I noticed that the flywheel was pushed in on one side. I was so disappointed. My boyfriend & a friend had to end up taking the whole flywheel apart (it wasn't that hard just troublesome) and bend the metal piece inside so that it would not rub each time it rotated. After all of that was done, assembly was not difficult. Been having it for over a month & try to use it pretty regularly. At one point the handlebars started to squeak, but a drop of grease solved that problem. All in all I love it.

Great Elliptical Trainer
The Schwinn 430 elliptical trainer was a great buy. It is compact and the experience on it is similar to the one that I use at the gym. The assembly is straight forward but it took me about 2 hours to finish it. You need a second pair of hands to carry the flywheel up or down the stairs. Even though the brand name is Schwinn, it is actually made by Nautilus.

Recommended
Arrived early. I had to give some money to the delivery man to help me bring it to the house (3rd floor). Assembly was not so bad (2.5 hours).
After some weeks of normal use it started to squeak a little. I have it about 6 months now (bye bye labor warranty) and the noise is getting loud. Otherwise is a steady and convenient machine.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Omron HJ-112 Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.

A large, easy-to-read display helps you keep tabs on your workout. View larger.

The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calorie consumption during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).

Customer Reviews

great pedometer
I have been walking around with my pedometer on. It was a great buy !!!!!
I really enjoy walking around with it. I feel very good about this purchase. I really need to walk a bit every day to keep in shape. It really helps to know my amount of steps taken, and also the amount of steps taken in calories. This was a good purchase.

GDD's review
The Omron Pedometer is absolutely a great product and bargain. It far exceeds the pedometers I previously purchased, which cost about the same amount. It automatically resets itself each morning. While wearing the Omron, I can determine how many miles, walking steps or aerobic steps I accomplish and adjust (increase) my activities to meet the recommended 10,000 steps each day.

still going strong
I bought this product for my wife almost 3 years ago and she still uses it on every run today. We've had to replace the batteries a few times of course. It does exactly what it's supposed to with no hassle, and I've yet to hear a complaint from her.

Amazon.com Product Description
Featuring tough solar power, multi-band atomic timekeeping, and a digital compass, they don't call this watch the Pathfinder for nothing. This slim silver and black men's watch from Casio features resin construction and a 47.4-millimeter titanium case, bezel, and band. The light green-gray dial has a digital time display and a day and date calendar. Powered by digital quartz, the Pathfinder is also water resistant to 330 feet.

Customer Reviews

Almost perfect
Yes, this watch is almost perfect. I love the mix of features, including the solar charging and NIST time sync. It all works very well.

The bad feature is the design of the buttons. The absolute worst is the button for activating the back light. This button is pretty much impossible to find in the dark, which is when you need the back light.

Outstanding watch for traveling
I travel around the globe as a consultant. This watch is easy to read without my glasses -- in the dark-- in an airplane that is darkened for night travel
Very light weight for the metal band it has. Big bold time display with manual back light as and when needed.
Not sure I will use all of the features -- but they do work if I want to use them.
Even my wife says that it looks good when I get dressed up -- and she normally prefers the older style with fancy gold trim.
I highly suggest this Pathfinder PAW1300T watch if you travel extensively and need a dependable time piece.

A hit with a techie
This watch was a hit with my adult son who is a technical trainer. He is obsessed with the correct time and loves all the other features as well. He travels worldwide which makes the atomic feature even more valuable. The watch is not very pretty to look at, but is very functional. It was a perfect graduation gift. Only down side: he will have to have links taken out of the wrist band.

Customer Reviews

Mario Kart Wii
The game is alot of fun and even my 4 year old loves it. I think it should have different races though once you open up the carts and bikes on the 50cc( I haven't gotten any further than that yet). It gets boring pretty fast playing the same levels over and over again just to open up stuff. The only thing I don't like is that when your in first you get hit with EVERYTHING...I can't help it that I'm good!!!

MARIOKART Wii
MARIOKART Wii is so much fun. My 10 year old daughter loves it and so does my 36 year old husband. We are not a big gaming family, but this game has been played a lot in our family. Invite a couple of friends over and play with four players. It's the best.

Great fun for everyone.
This game is so much fun, particularly with the wheel contraption. I've bought three more of them and having mario kart parties is fantastic. Recommended to anyone.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you want to reduce back stress or fatigue or stimulate your blood circulation, the Ironman Gravity 1000 inversion table makes a great household accessory. The inversion table contributes to your body's overall health by optimizing lumbar traction, thereby relieving pressure on your vertebrae discs and ligaments. And when your back starts to relax, the rest of your body follows. The table can also help with such areas as increasing body flexibility for improved athletic performance, reducing the effects of aging due to gravity, and relieving lower backaches due to sitting or standing.

The Gravity 1000 boasts a durable tubular steel frame with a scratch-resistant powder-coated finish. The backrest, meanwhile, is made of a tough nylon material that's extremely durable yet still comfortable when the table is in use. Most importantly, the inversion system is a breeze to use: once you rest your body against the nylon backrest and slip your feet into the ergonomically molded ankle cushions, simply reach your arms over your head. As your arms go up, your body gradually inverts up to 90 degrees. The only inputs are your energy and gravity itself.

Users will also appreciate the tough rubber non-skid floor stabilizers, which keep the table stable while you invert, and the extra-long safety handles, which provide an easy return to an upright position. Other details include a height-adjustable frame up to 6 feet 6 inches; support for up to 300 pounds; vinyl safety side covers to protect hands and fingers; and a durable spring-loaded ankle locking system. The Gravity 1000, which folds into a compact footprint for easy storage, measures 25 by 62 by 49 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 46 pounds.

Help my wifes back.
My wife was having back pain and could not sleep at night. She been using this for a couple of weeks now and has had a decrease in pain and is able to sleep.

Helps a lot with back pain.
My lower back would tighten up and it would be painful to sit for a long time. I ordered the table to see if it would help. When I tried it, I had immediate results. My back loosened up and the pain was gone. I also noticed that after using the machine, I would also slouch less. The entire structure is very stable and I haven't had any problems with it yet. I did have an issue with installing it though. One of the holes was not drilled properly so I had to drill a hole in the right area so that I could assemble it. If you have weak ankles or sensitive skin, I recommend wearing socks when fully inverted.

Wish I would have used the Ironman table years ago!
My wife and I recently purchased the Ironman 1000 from Amazon and received it in less than a week. Assembly was easy and the machine is very solidly built. My wife and I had experienced lower back pain, before getting the Ironman, and had been to the chiropractor a few times for adjustments. I have also had a pinched nerve in my left leg for about 3-4 months. I am 51 years old and have noticed after using the Ironman for less than a week have gained 3/8 of an inch in height. Our backs feel great and no longer have the pinched nerve problem. We now feel that we have more freedom of movement without pain and our backs are getting back to normal. Thanks Ironman for a wonderful product!

Amazon.com Product Description
Essentially a scaled-down motocross bike with an electric motor, the Razor MX500 Dirt Rocket is ideal for teens who want to enjoy the dirt bike experience without breaking the bank. The Dirt Rocket's powerful 500-watt motor carries riders at speeds of up to 17 miles per hour--more than enough for most bumpy dirt trails--and can cruise for up to 10 miles on a single charge. At the same time, the bike's dual suspension and riser handlebars deliver a smooth and comfortable ride regardless of the terrain, so your teen's fun isn't restricted to flat pavement. As a final bonus, the Dirt Rocket's variable-speed, chain-driven motor is extremely quiet, a marked contrast to traditional gas-powered motocross bikes.

Other details include large pneumatic knobby tires for a maximum power transfer, authentic dirt bike frame geometry, a retractable kickstand, and a double-crown fork. The MX500, which requires roughly eight hours to fully charge, is recommended for ages 14 and over and offers a maximum weight limit of 175 pounds. It's also backed by a 90-day warranty.

I am a 10 year old boy who just got a 500 BMX. It fantastic! All of the parts were there, and it was half built for you. Its amazing! When you twist the gas throttle it goes flying across the ground.It has a kick stand and has wonderful colors. It can also go over any terrain! It is even equiped with a number plate. It is really alot of fun!!!!

Great Bike
We've had this bike for three years now. I bought it for my son to ride around the grassy hills in our yard. It has enough power to take my 10 year old son off road and up hill. The battery has not caused us any headaches (unlike with the Schwinn electric scooter or the Chinese-made mini ATV). I can see my son using this bike for many years to come.

quiet and fast!
I ordered this electric dirt bike for my son's 11th birthday. After reading the reviews of the 350 model, we decided to upgrade to the 500, even though,technically, he is young for this model. It is perfect for him, and I'm glad we got the bigger bike because he won't grow out of it immediately. Also, it has enough reserve power to get him up hills. I would definitely order this bike again--in fact, I'm going to order one for my other son who wants one, too! The assembly was easy--3 steps, and all tools are included. My husband and I tried it too, and it is a blast, and quiet too!

Editorial Reviews

As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a powerful gaming console.

Under the Hood
The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That makes the PlayStation 3 40 times faster than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience. This console also provides for a sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. A pre-installed 40 GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from the internet. Unlike the other models of the PlayStation 3, the 40GB does not offer backwards compatibility.

PlayStation 3: Tower of Power

A sleek new look

Features a wireless motion-sensitive controller

Eye of Judgment

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Blu-Ray Is the New Way
Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats.

In addition, PlayStation 3 system software update version 2.20 and up includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE) and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use.

Sensational Controller
New gamers intuitively move the controller while playing, even though that movement has traditionally had no relation to what's going on in the game. Sony has picked up on this tendency and is using it to bring a new level of control to the PS3. Inside the controller is a high-precision sixaxis sensing system that accurately detects fine movements in pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as three dimensions of movement. This means that future PS3 games will be controlled by the movements of your hands rather than just your thumbs. For example, you might be able to steer a car by holding the controller like a steering wheel.

While the PS3 controller looks much like its Dual Shock predecessors, it will lack the force-feedback vibration since that would only interfere with the sensing system. It uses Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology and can support wireless controllers. It's a hot-swappable system, so if your controller is running low on power, just pause your game and connect a USB 2.0 cable. You can continue playing while your controller recharges automatically.

A Slew of New Games
A whole host of game publishers back the PS3. Current and future titles for the system, include The Eye of Judgment, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Tekken 6, and Heavenly Sword.

Online
Sony has stated that the PS3 will have similar online connectivity and services as the next generation of Xbox Live. Calling it "an always on, always connected device," SCEI's chief technical officer Masa Chatani said the PS3 would be constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network "fundamentally based on community, communication commerce, and content." Technically, the infrastructure is there to make that connection. The PS3 supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T Ethernet, as well as IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless networking protocols.

Well worth the money
Alright so i just wanted to put my opinion on here about the PS3. I recieved it a few days ago i was impressed with the design of the console. i mean yeah i saw pictures of it on here but its way better when its right in front of you. Everything was easy to set up, it took a few mintues to get the whole running. Thank god i didn't have to buy the HDMI cable (My 47 inch had already). When i turned it on everything was easy to navigate through. The main menu is really nice, very easy to understand. I immediately went on the web just to see how good it is. and i thought it was actually pretty good. the playstation store is really nice, u get to dowloads a bunch of demos, get old games like PS1 games, u get to prviews for movies and much more. I read that some people thought it was noisy, not in my case it did not have the fan noise. With my purchase of the PS3 i ordered 3 games with it, NCAA Football 09, GTA 4, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. I have yet to play any of them, but i am sure they won't disappoint. One of the things that swayed me to purchase the PS3 was the fact it was a Blue ray player too. i am a big movie guy, i like watching movies and all that. i watched 300 on it and it don't not disappoint at all, it was redicilous thats how good it was. i mean that alone is worth buying the PS3. So in conclusion i believe anybody whos a gamer don't matter if your just a casual or hard core gamer, a movie buff like me should get this console. Basically u getting three things out of it ... Blue ray player ... game console.. Internet. what else can you ask for. If you don't have one...... get one its worth it!!!

Still best option for Blu-Ray player
I bought the PS3 as my exclusive Blu-Ray platform after judging it with the newest players that came out in July 2008. The PS3 does everything better than the stand alone players that I've seen and toyed with. What stands out with the PS3 to me is the fact that you have a powerful processer that is dedicated to the best 1080P picture posible while decoding the highest quality audio to send to your receiver instead of bitstreaming it to boot. I'll tell anyone that playing the PS3 signal on my Sony XBR4 with 120Hz motion flow and routing sound through my Onkyo TX-SR705 with 7.1 surround will make a beliver out of most audiophiles. what I find most attractive about the PS3 is the fact that it is upgradable to the latest Blu-ray profiles and it decodes the latest audio codecs out there. Sony says they will always support the PS3 with the latest Blu-ray profiles on the market. I own a XBOX 360 elite and a Wii and will tell you that I prefer gaming on my 360 by a thin margin due to the feeling that the 360 controller feels like a tank in my hands compared to the small PS3 controller. I also know that it's just my mind, but I like the quick cut access to the games on the 360 and straight-forwardness of the menus. Now don't get me wrong on this, but I have a higher opinion of the PS3 because of its versatility. I can surf the net, upgrade the hard drive, play HD movies seamlessly, have a million options I can change, and game at the same time. The thing that still bugs me about my 360 is that the HD-DVD player that was an add on never got the full number crunching power that the PS3 puts into its Blu-ray playback. The 360 always had judder because the 360 either didn't have enough juice to power the HD movies or it was taking breaks doing something else rather than dedicating all of its computing power to the movie. I always had studder in the playback of my HD-DVD drive, something that never happens in the PS3. My brother has a Blu-ray drive built into his Dell tower system with enough ram to make a pixar film and Windows Vista still gives you lazy playback and tons of studder which drives me up the wall. With the PS3 upscaling of my old DVD library, it is a complete system that in my opinion outguns anything out there. Way too many positives including reliability to not give the PS3 the edge over anything gaming or otherwise. So do yourself a favor, get a Sony XBR series LCD TV with a PS3 and don't look back or at anything else out there. You won't regret it.

A Serious Machine for Serious Gamers
Since blu-ray has obviously won the latest format wars, it made my decision pretty easy actually. With the 360 having monumental failure rate problems, and choosing the loosing format to support it was even easier.

I actually bought my ps3 at costco in a bundle pack that included a monster hdmi cable, an extra controller, and the bluetooth remote. Considering everything that the ps3 can do it's an amazing package.

Considering how much a blu-ray disk can actually hold, it's only a matter of time before the 360 gets swamped. The PS3 is the best current generation console. The graphics are amazing. The potential is amazing.

It's a true home entertainment hub, from being able to stream stuff from the net, the free online game play, it's actually an incredible bargain for everything that the ps3 is able to do.

Since I didn't have a ps2 I really didn't care that the ps3 40 gb version doesn't play ps2 games, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to play a few old ps1 games that I had laying around on my ps3. I finally finished ffvii 11 years later.

When the price of the ps3 was originally announced I remember how put off I was, but now that I actually own one I'm consistently amazed by what this machine is capable of and how much of a bargain it really is.

I have it in a well ventilated area and I barely hear a sound. It's well designed, ergonomic, and good looking. It's also a comfort to know that if I need to upgrade the hard drive to something larger I can do it myself instead of having to ship it in.

The wireless controllers are a great. A charged controller usually lasts around 24 hours of game play, and to recharge you simply plug into the usb cable. Not having a controller wire getting tangled up anymore is spectacular. Of course if you're not careful you just may forget where you left you controller. That's a lot better than having to untangle all those cords getting all clumped together, though.

If you're going to get the best of the current generation consoles make sure you have an hdtv to get the maximum benefit. The playstation 3 is a serious console for people who are looking for the best gaming and movie experience with the latest in hdtv. It's a serious investment that quickly proves its worth. While the initial investment may seem a little higher the return from Sony is a whole lot of bang for the buck by Sony including built in wifi, self installing firm ware updates, free online gaming, built in web browser, and the still developing playstation store. Sony has put together a total package that is going to be relevant for a long time to come.

I almost forgot, so I'm adding this late, you can install another Operating System on PS3. So if the ps3 OS just isn't enough for you, you install linux as well. Like I said, the more I figure out what this console can do the better bargain it becomes.

The Dualshock 3 Rumble Wireless Controller
The Dualshock 3 Rumble wireless controller for the PlayStation 3 system provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body. Dualshock 3 wireless controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller’s USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the PlayStation 3 system at anytime.

Plays All PlayStation Games
The PlayStation 3 will be backward compatible with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, which means you'll be able to play all your favorite games without keeping all the old systems. The console will have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot and a Compact Flash memory slot. It comes with a pre-installed hard disc drive, which allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet.

Included in this bundle Metal Gear Solid 4!
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings. Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone.

Great console BAD controllers
I have to admit that this is a great console and that's the reason I bought it. However, the controllers are junk which basically makes it boring. I have the new dual shock controller and honestly it is not close to the controllers for the XBOX-360.

I still dont understand why PS3 does not have a full vibrating controller. I feel like I am playing a PC game. Trust me, I have tried a few games already, META GEARS 4, HAZE, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Frontlines, In Bad COmpany, etc... SO far only FIFA 08 has met my expectations, and mainly because I dont expect to feel any controller feedback from this game, but for the other games none of those in PS3 match the fun I have playing them in the 360. In 360 the controllers are 1000% better than the one for the PS3. I believe that PS3 wanted to have the best of both worlds, Wii type and 360 controllers, but PS3 failed miserably.

If you love great graphics then buy it, but do not expect to feel you are in the game. After some time it gets really boring. Thqt is the reason I am giving this console only 1 star. I will stick with the 360 until sony releases a real controller.

Great game
Great game, good controler, and the premium PS3 all in one package, you can't go wrong with this

PS3 Blu-ray player is awesome!
I have had the PS3 for 6 months now. I did have one problem with my first PS3, when I left it on running with a video game in, I think that it caused the drive to break. However, Sony has a one year warranty, and were very helpful with the exchange. The new PS3 I received comes with the new game Metal Gear Solid 4...and the graphics are amazing. I am into good quality picture, and that was the main reason for purchasing the PS3 in the first place. The games graphics, and the Blu-Ray movies are clear and impressive. They won't disappoint even the most picky. Of course, it also depends on which HDTV you are using with it too. The new software upgrades come with the Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD Master. I am into audio as well, and this player performs great in both movies and video games. I also like the picture slide show available on the PS3. It turns my living room into a large slide show- with brilliant color and clarity. You can download your songs onto a SD and attach to your PS3 and it easily transfers any pictures or music for quick access.

Amazon.com Product Description
Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 230 recumbent exercise bike. The 230 boasts many of the high-quality features of the Schwinn 213, but adds several extras, including a nicer, easier-to-read instrument panel with a three-position angle adjustment, a slightly lower pedal height that produces a more comfortable riding position, and an easy step-through frame. And that doesn't even account for all the essentials, which range from 16 resistance levels to handlebars with an integrated heart rate monitor built into the grip.

The handiest feature, however, is unquestionably the anatomically designed recumbent seat, which not only offers a dual-position lumbar support for added comfort, but also a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider that accommodate a variety of body types and sizes. Other details include six preset programs (calorie goal, BMI measurement, recovery test, results mode, quick start, and manual mode), 10 profile courses, and transport wheels that both protect your floors and make the bike easy to store.

Track your time, interval time, RPM, watts, distance, pulse, speed, calories, and resistance on the 230's LCD console.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Customer Reviews

WONDERFUL Product
Would buy a second one any day. Thankfully I don't need to because this is a great quality piece. Easy to assemble and use. I have a bad back and the recumbent seat and back is quite comfortable.

Schwinn 230 Bike Assembly By Itself is an Exercise
Assembly of the Model 230 is somewhat daunting due to oversimplified assembly instructions. Several troublesome steps could use more specific detail to avoid trail and error. Overall, the design seems solid but my unit had a handlebar assembly that was incomplete - it had no external jack to plug the heart rate monitor cable into. I've asked Schwinn (aka Nautilis) for a replacement - we shall see how they respond.

Horrendous Customer Service
The bike is great. It is quiet, comfortable, and simply perfect.

The customer support is attrocious. I sat on hold for 15 minutes listening to bad background music without anyone picking up. I thought Sears was bad when my treadmill broke.

So I called again and selected "new sales". Of course someone immediately picks up. They give me the excuse that for some reason the customer support staff is busy today. Well I said, that seems to have been the story for the last several years, according to online reviews.

I ran out of time, and had to call the next day. I put the phone on speakerphone and went about my other tasks. At exactly 20 minutes, someone picks up. Then they didn't have the part I needed. I needed to buy the whole computer, which would have cost $210. All I needed was the connector at the back, which broke when I tried to get the cables apart. It's a poor design, and they don't carry the part which I'm sure has broken on others, as I've read such in reviews.

So the customer support needs a few more people on staff. A 20 minute hold time, if this is a regular occurrence, is out of line.

Metallic Pink is back! The best-selling video game system in the world grabs attention with a splash of color and looks good whether it's toted in your school backpack, pulled from your purse, or riding with you on a family trip. Metallic Rose made its debut as a limited-edition bundle and now it's back again to round-out the Nintendo DS Lite palette of available colors. It joins Polar White, Coral Pink, Onyx, Crimson/Black, and Cobalt/Black. Now there's a Nintendo DS color to complement any outfit.

The Nintendo DS Lite is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek folding design loaded with features for a unique gaming experience. The color screens are now even brighter and the lower touch screen provides a totally new way of playing and controlling games. Use the built-in wireless mode to share games, chat or even play multiplayer games on-line via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Play impressive 3-D rendered Nintendo DS games and play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single player mode. Nintendo DS Lite comes with a variety of distinctive changes that set it apart from the original: It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter. Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power. The microphone sits in the center of the unit and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed. The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original and slides into a side storage slot. The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access. A removable cover keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it's not in use. With the Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.

HUGE, but works for what you need
This was the only one that works with the Graco infant car seat we already had, and it works fine, however it is HUGE and very heavy. I still can't really figure out how to open it and collapse it without my husband showing me again and again.... If you do not want something extremely bulky and heavy, do not buy this.

very comfortable for kids and parent
I bought this double stroller for a newborn and 21 month old and am thrilled. My toddler loves to climb onto the seat and sits like a little princess - she loves the carriage. Even my newborn has found one spot on the hood that she stares at contentedly for long stretches at a time - she seems very comfortable.

I find it easy to push, love the compartments, and am getting lots of compliments (I have the black one - ionic).

Highly recommended!

Graco Stroller After a lot of shopping around,
my husband and I decided to go with the Graco Duo Glider. We are very pleased with the product for a few reasons. My husband and I are both very tall people and this stroller is nice and tall... and not as long as the other double strollers we have seen. When we got the stroller in the mail, my husband figured it would be a hassle to put together, but it was really easy! Even with a toddler trying to "help" Daddy. The last reason I really like it is that our graco baby car seat fits right in. Sure, the stroller is heavy, but it is a double stroller! They are all heavy. This stroller glides nicely and easy to move around corners. My husband and I are very excited about this purchase and would recommend it to anyone in need of a double stroller.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon GL2 (like its predecessor, the GL1, and its big brother, the XL1) is helping to blur the line between consumer and professional video equipment. This camcorder borrows most of those cameras' professional-quality components and puts them into a more compact, affordable camera. Though it's small enough to carry around and doesn't cost much more than a top-of-the-line consumer camcorder, the GL2 produces such high-quality results that it could be used as a broadcast video camera.
