My wife and I each have a 305, and I have a number of running partners who own them as well, and every one of us have had a malfunction of the units: buttons that stop working, alerts that won’t beep, units that stop functioning altogether. The smallest repair out of warranty, at least in Canada, is $94, and you have to pay $40 up front for them to even look at it, and that is not refundable when they tell you that they can’t find anything wrong. When they’re working they’re great, but be ready to buy a new one every other year.

The EatSmart(tm) Precision Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5″ Display and “Step-On” Technology works great. At first it took a very hard stomp to get it to turn on. Over time, however, it has become more sensitive and reacts to the first tap or two. I like how sleek looking and low-profile it is (the latter allows me to weigh my dog, too!) and hope that someday I have a bathroom large enough to keep it in!

I had heard many good things about this novel with many recommendations that, as a Harry Potter fan, I would enjoy it. I’m happy to say that it lived up to all of the hype. This is yet another example of a fine writer producing children’s literature that’s not all that childish. Like a really well-done cartoon, there’s plenty in its pages to entertain and amuse children and many references that will go straight over their heads but that adults will enjoy.

The language Colfer uses is really wonderful. He doesn’t try to dumb it down and the vocabulary is colorful and would be a nice challenge for younger children and yet it’s not so academic that it becomes daunting. Colfer uses colorful language and does an excellent job of setting the scene and creating believable and fun dialogue.

The best thing about this book, though, is Colfer’s prodigious imagination. Artemis is a very fun and unexpected character and the Butlers were also a lot of fun, particularly Julia with her penchant for wrestling. Colfer’s twists on traditional folklore and fairytale creatures is very innovative and his take on how the “Mud People” stereotype fairies, elves, and dwarves was a riot. Colfer is very adept at using such satire to great effect and while kids will find it funny, adults will appreciate how Colfer pokes fun at our own world.

Overall, this book is a great deal of fun and I look very forward to reading the next installment.

ive only used this vacuum a few times so far, but its been great. i couldnt justify a 5 star because of the minimal usage so far. I never want to get another bagless … i had a bagless dirtdevil and the filters (which i had to change about every 2-3 months MAX. i dont have any kids – 1 dog 1 cat ) were about $25 a piece! a lot of these bagless have multiple filters youre suppose to replace. Amazon has a 9pack of bags for this vacuum for $7.75

Pros: good suction, easy to use, overall feel like i am getting the carpet rid of dirt and dander, CHEAP

Cons: cord is a little short, attachment hose a bit short, seems a little heavy

I do notice it does tend to spit stuff back at me when im using it on the vinyl on anything but the barefloor setting … i know (DUH) its a barefloor, use the barefloor setting! but it gets annoying changing the heights multiple times for one vacuum session.

I ultimatly bought this vacuum due to the overwhelming reviews and one of the reviews i read stated that this vacuum was in consumer reports and came out neck in neck with the $300 vacuums. i checked it out, that is exactly correct. as of now, i would buy this vacuum over again and recommend it.
