Lacrosse tec has a great product this is second one for me easy to set works in seconds ....

New alkaline batteries, main unit operated and read from remote sensor for about 5 days, then noticed the display was 'garbled', not all segments of the led images would lite up for any of the features, date/time/temp/forecast. Removed batteries for 1 hours and re-installed new (different) batteries.. no change. No response from mfr for 72 hours, so I am returning for refund via Amazon since I've only had the unit for a little over one week. I'm not up to dealing with something that has issues like this right out of the box.

Obviously you can look out the window and see whats going on outside. Yet with our new wireless weather station we are able to verify the temperature inside and out. It tells the Humidity and best of all the weather forecast will indicate the trends of the weather approaching.

Information point, does not work with older LaCrosse outdoor units but works with its (included) own. Working with older units is handy if you have already deployed older units and just want to piggy-back another indoor unit on them.

The time & Weather station is very accurate and sleek looking. Would recommend it to a friend.

The shipping was on time & the quality of JanSport never seems to fail me! I'm finally ready for school.

I bought this backpack for my daughter for kindergarten. I was concerned it might be too big for her because she is petite and only five. However, the adjustable straps make it fit her perfectly. I really like that the bag itself is very lightweight but can hold lots of stuff. She should be able to use it for many many years to come.

Love the bag!It is everything I hoped for and as advertised. Received it promptly too!

This backpack is cute, but it is not really a good purchase. I have washed it a few times, and now the inside of the fabric has started to peel away. Also, it doesn't hold any shape, so it kind of hangs down instead of staying up on your back. The fabric is thin and the quality is so-so. If I had to do it over again, I would buy something with some shape to it with more padding and machine wash capability. This would be more suitable for a day at the beach than for carrying books.

This was a great purchase! It was as if I had bought it at the store brand new, but for half the price! I recommend it to anyone who wants a new backpack, but doesn't want to pay a lot for it.

Good product but the bottom panel should have been little bit longer. If it is long enough, it will be much easier to load different shapes of stuff.

speaking of the placement of the wheels, which I agree with wholeheartedly, that they're set too far back and so there's no good feel for picking up and lowering the load - rather than being balanced you're putting a lot of effort into picking up and lowering the load smoothly... But even with that caveat, it works very well especially for the price. Great value for such a little truck, and incredibly portable. I purchased this for one end - to move my small wine fridge in my basement. It's full of about 40 bottles of juice and I didn't want to go emptying it out to relocate it. Worked great, collapses very small, extends well, and was surprisingly sturdy, which was my fear, that it would be a little flimsy. But it wasn't.

I like this! Very easy to maneuver and holds some large packages! I got it within a few days of ordering and this one sure is much better than the old luggage cart with stretch straps that would always get dirty because they have to be put down on the ground while getting the items onto the cart before securing. The magna cart is SO much better - total piece of cake - just pull up on the handle and with your foot pull down the platform and it folds up just as easily. It's so slender that the storage of this is really compact too. I'm glad I got this. I have a very bad back and it's made it so much easier hauling things around.

I have extreme back problems. Can't lift anything. This hand cart is perfect for me. I put it on the cart use my bungie cord to secure it and move the item. Only thing they need to include the bungie cords.

...at least, not very much over that height if you're not interested in contorting yourself into at least slightly uncomfortable positions in order to use this dolly. That's exactly my height, and I'm just able to pull this cart without having to slouch slightly; although, it seems that part of the problem is that the cart, whether you're pushing or pulling it, seems to have a tendency to want to upright itself. Beyond that, it's a perfectly serviceable cart if you don't demand too much of it. Just today, I used it to cart a 55 pound air conditioner from the pick-up point 8 blocks away, and then up 3 flights of stairs, and it came through just fine. So yeah, be on the short side, and don't be afraid to bully it slightly to keep it in position. It's not great, but it's good enough.

with it being a hard case and a having a spare pocket for the usb cable, it's everthing i was hoping for. offers great protection.

External hard drives can be so delicate and it's important to my peace of mind to spend a little bit more to protect it even if it spends its entire life in a desk drawer and rarely travels (we'll see!). This case is good durable quality which is not too soft at all and I trust it with my data. The magenta is a chill color...something to be said for adding a dash of personality to a pretty standard thing. Fits the Toshiba 320GB HDDR320E04XW nicely with no complaints. All my drive needs is one little USB cord so it fits snug in case's mesh pocket. Happy stuff.

I have two Toshiba Portable USB 2.0 2.5" hard drives (measurements provided below), and was looking for something to keep them free from dust and protect them from damage. This particular case serves exactly that purpose. The drive is held in place by a small elastic band that goes across the center of the one side of the case, and the other side has a mesh/elastic combination pocket that is sufficient for holding flash drives or additional cables. It is durable enough to withstand normal usage, but if you are planning on carrying your hard drive in your luggage or somewhere that it is likely to take more of a beating or have heavy items sit on top of it, this case may not be what you are looking for. The only reason I even mention this in my review is that some of the other reviewers are obviously looking for a product to do something that this product was clearly not manufactured or intended to do. This is NOT a hard shell plastic case, nor does it contain hard plastic inside the fabric. It is however hard ENOUGH to protect the drive from the elements and occasional small drops or bumps. I have used these cases for 6 months, and have not had a single problem with either of them. Total measured internal useable dimensions of case for drive storage = 5-15/16" Length X 3-5/8" Width X 7/8" or 1" thick. Just to give an example, my Toshiba drives measure 4-15/16" L X 3-1/8" W X 5/8" thick and sitting in the case, it still allows an additional 1" lengthwise and 1/2" width and approximately 1/4" more for thickness for a larger drive. Hope this helps those of you with a drive and a tape measure wondering if this will work for you. Happy shopping!

This case securely protects the external hard drive when carrying it, and has no snags or protuberances that catch on luggage or inside one's backpack.

This product is very good. My external drive fits very good in it. Price is very good too. I am completely satisfied with it!! I would recommend the seller and the product.

This case has ample room for my I-Pad, and the zip up pocket on the outside holds my reading glasses as well. Its sturdy fabric is classy looking and padded and is easy to hold on to. Very good quality and value. I highly recommend this product.

This cover is a nice, simple cover that fits a Dell mini computer. It doesn't have a lot of extra space and no handle. But the compact size allows it to fit in my purse and provide some protection for the computer.

Everything Ok, the delivery time, the product. I do recommend this product and this seller.

This is a great little case. It fits my Dell netbook perfectly and the material seems durable. The pocket in front is useful for carrying a usb and headphones, but is way to small for a power cord.

This case is exactly just that: A great little case. I bought the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1001P-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 11 Hours of Battery Life) and needed something to protect it, not just throw it my pack and hope it doesn't get scratched. I purchased this case due to all the high marks it received and very low price. As soon as I received it, I opened the case up and took a great big whiff. And not to my surprise, it spelled like nothing. There was no neoprene smell as other people have mentioned. When I placed my 1001P inside, I noticed it was a very snug fit, which is perfect. It zipped up nicely without a hassle. When I felt around the case, there was no extra room inside. The case itself is fairly soft, you can be sure it will not scratch your netbook. There is a front pocket on the outside of the case, accessible by another zipper. It too is very nice, but very small: I can barely get by with putting my charger inside, and when I do, it makes the case appear very bulky. I usually don't put anything in there. There is also a pouch for your flash drive within the external zippered compartment, this is very useful, I like it. I have nothing negative to say about this case, however I do wish that there was a yellow colour scheme for it. I simply prefer bright colours.

These adapters worked wonderfully in Spain and France to charge all of my wife and my dual-voltage items, i.e., phones, camera, hair dryer, and flat iron.

I went on a 45 day trip to Israel, and brought this adapter along with me. It worked in every single hotel and house that I stayed in, and had a solid feel to it. However, due to its compact size, I had trouble finding it even in the smallest pocket of my suitcase. I recommend getting a couple of them, and leaving them on the chargers/appliances, which is what I will do for my next trip.

Worked well in Spain. Allowed US standard plug for 120/240v appliances to work easily in the 6 places that we stayed in Spain.

I needed this plug adapter for a trip to France and it worked very reliably. It is built sturdily (not cheap or loose) and is nice and compact. This can only adapt to double-pronged plugs, and it adapts very tightly (the female end), it took a little force to put on and take off of any appliance plug. Also, this does NOT convert voltage, it only adapts to different outlet shapes. The male end is built to expand in order to fit snugly in european outlets and won't fall out. Overall compact and well-adapted design, very good value.

Does what it supposed to do. Very slim line, easy to travel with. We used it for a shaver that had a built in transformer. Many products have built-in transformers so you need to check first and see if you can just use a prong converter.

We traveled from Alabama to New York - DC - NC. it rain for most of the trip and items were dry. But you MUST follow instuctions. On the second lag of our trip the bag was put on the roof upside downour bags got soaked along with most of our clothing inside the luggage. VERY large and we were able to put a 29 inch, two 25 inch bags a duffle bag and childs carry-on (19 inch) with a little room to spare for a blanket or two.

Plenty of room and easy to use. Kept everything dry on a four day road trip. Worked as advertised.

We packed it full and drove over 1000 miles while on vacation without a hitch. It didn't leak while driving through the rain and the review I read about costing fuel mileage proved false. The zipper only opens 2 sides so it was a little bit of a challenge to pack, but it was worth the money. The tie down straps that came with it are really cheap, so I just tossed them out and used a couple of good quality ratchet straps. After 1000 miles of travel and packing and unpacking at our destinations, it is still like new. Its well constructed and well worth the money.

We've had a rain-x top carrier before but this was much better. It seems roomier and is much more quiet as the straps don't blow around and hit the car. The price was also almost half as cheap. As far, as all the reviews go about poor gas mileage....of course you're going to get a little less miles to the gallon as you have all this extra baggage and weight on top of your vehicle but you have that with all the top carriers. Very pleased!

We have taken this bag on two large trips. Both trips were in excess of 4 hours each way and it rained at least one way on each trip. In both cases, the bag held a significant amount of cargo and kept it dry. The problem is that on the second trip, 2 of the 4 straps tore off the bag. We are lucky that the bag stayed on top of the car, because it could have caused significant damage if it flew off. The other problem is that we cannot use the bag for the return trip, yet we still need a roof-top carrier, so we are going to have to get a different bag quickly.

This case was a little too tight for my 4.3" Garmin 1390T GPS and power cord. It also has no padding to absorb the shock of a fall. It wasn't worth the trouble and expense of returning; so I gave it to my wife. She puts her smaller square GPS, in a padded pouch, inside this case and still has room for the power cord. Between this case and her pouch her GPS is well protected and she doesn't have to fish the power cord out of her bag. I ordered the Lowepro 4.3" Navi Shield GPS case for a few dollars more and I'm very pleased. It has a built-in padded pouch, room for my power cord and a thicker exterior shell to protect my 1390T GPS. There's a case for everyone. I'm giving this only 3 stars because Amazon promoted it, as a package deal, for use with the 1390T and I don't think it is an adequate case to protect that GPS.

bought this to house my 4.3 g.p.s. and protect it...it does its job well, but it does take up considerable space in the center glove box.

This little case is great I do not have to worry about dropping, placing things on top of it, because the screen is protected, and it even fits in my little purse,

Good, inexpensive case for 4.3 inch screen GPS units. This case is a little large for my Garmin Nuvi 255W, but it still does a good job of protecting the screen. If the fit had been a little more snug, I would have rated it 5 stars.

The case itself is solid enough and protects the GPS unit since I did drop mine once already. Only complaint I have is the zipper hangs up sometimes. I bought it for the Garmin 265WT model (which replaced a 750W model)to carry in when flying to new locations in N. American/Canada. The main unit fits very well into the case however Garmin's new cable is much thicker and does not fit into the case along with the main unit and completely close it. This is not Case Logic's fault so I gave it 4 stars. If they used a better zipper like a YKK the zipper would probably cost as much as what we are paying for the case.Case Logic GPSP-2 Professional GPS Case for 4.3-Inch Flatscreen GPS Navigators

Great area maps for cities. Restaraunt recommendations at multiple price points, from street food to fine dining. Worth the price of book for information regarding skipping the lines at major attractions, we skipped extremely long lines in both Venice and Rome by buying our tickets at the alternate locations suggested. Also apprieciate the historcal background given for cities and sites. This book was superior to Lonely Planet and Let's Go books I've used in the past.

Rick Steves gives a fairly detailed introduction to Italy here. The information is reasonably up to date and will benefit first-time visitors particularly. I have used other guide books in my travels. Rick Steves' is among the best. This book is not perfect, however. The Rome Metro actually includes commuter rails and the same ticket allows free transfers. This is not mentioned at all in the book. Considering how sparse the subway coverage is, I think the omission needs to be corrected. The restaurants he recommends for Rome are not as good as those we pick for ourselves. This is pretty irking, although we agree with his picks on gelateria. In regard to shopping, he is totally clueless, according to my wife, who has substantial expertise in the matter. Rome is full of surprises, however, so even random wandering has been great fun.

I'm planning a trip to Italy in September and would never attempt it without Rick's books. The 2007 version is also in my library so I will compare the 2. We looked at a cruise but realized we couldn't get a real feel for the country that way. He spells out so many of the daily needs and customs, sleeping accommodations, restaurants and sites ranked. My itinerary is done so I'm working on the details. Ciao

Very good book for planning ones travels to Italy. Has everything one would expect

I have used Rick Steves' guidebooks in the past. They are excellent but have little information about World War II sites in Italy. I have just published a travel guidebook on that subject: please look at: A Travel Guide to World War II Sites in Italy: Museums, Monuments, and Battlegrounds. This guidebook describes places that are in or near Rome, Florence, Bologna, and Lucca, but are rarely noted in general travel guides for Italy.

We used Rick Steves' books throughout our entire tour of Italy and will use him for wherever we travel going forward!

I used the guided tours in this book for 4 different museums in Florence. They really enhanced the experience. I also saw other tourist using this book also in the museums.

Very good guidebook. Practical information. Not too big - easy to take on a trip. The best book I have found - and I have looked at a least 5 others.

Just back from a week in Italy. So glad I bought and read this book before the trip. So helpful with information about reservations needed for some sites (which the professor leading our tour was clueless about), and great tips on eating and shopping. Podcasts we downloaded off his website were great. highly recommended!

Excellent book. Full of many details of the area and hints and tips on how to get the most out of your visit.
