I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the extra $$ since my current way of cleaning the hardwood and tiled floors was working. After purchasing a dyson a year ago, I didn't want to push my luck and ask my husband to purchase another gadget to clean... but I wanted to give it a try. So glad I did! I purchased the item last night at bed bath and beyond with my 20% off coupon.I was going to wait but couldn't contain myself. My test run consisted of cleaning just the bathroom floors. I was impressed, so today I cleaned the hardwoods (with ease). It's easy to put together, works great and made my floors sparkle and shine. I do admit to going over areas a few times just to make sure it was working. I like that I'm not using chemicals to clean around my children. Good purchase, should've done it sooner!』
(not perfect, but very good) 『picked it up at Bed Bath and Beyond using 20% off coupon.
easy to assemble. easy to use. remember, you'll need to pump the handle to generate sufficient steam. used it on polished tile and it worked well. cleaned off grime quickly. in kitchen, it removed oily residue from floor after a number of passes. dried quickly and streak free. this is a real timesaver.
that said, its also very cheaply made. you'll notice how it strains when you try to move it from side to side along baseboards. it strains to the point where you might be concerned that plastic will crack. i'll be gentle with it, and i'm not one of those who will use it several times a week. i'll be pleasantly surprisd if it lasts more than a couple years.
would also recommend buying extra pads, since they get dirty quickly. remember, they're washable, but since they are microfiber, you CANNOT put them in dryer.』
(Off to a great start) 『Just bought this so while it hasn't stood the test of time, can say this is a great item right out of the box. After using routine cleaning products, it was time for a more deep cleaning of tile and textured vinyl floors.
Very happy with the results.
Reasonably priced, easy to assemble and maneuver. Long cord is very convenient. Heats quickly and doesn't create a mess--as long as you don't overfill the reservoir and screw the cap on right!
A welcome addition to this household.

When I opened the box the blower was dirty and VERY used looking.
I mixed a new batch of gas and 2 cycle oil and fired it up.
It would not run with the choke off.
I sent it back.
Save yourself some time and aggravation and stay away from these so called reconditioned items.
I learned my lesson.』

Worked perfectly for first use--started on second pull of cord--ran flawlessly for a total of six hours straight. Ran out of gas three times--refilled and started right up after running hot. I don't know why I have seen some negative feedback about starting and continuous running--if you mix the gas ratio correctly and follow the starting instructions--it works perfectly. Used it for blowing leaves, then vacuuming them up and everything went as expected. I have faith in the brand name and have several Ryobi products, including a table saw, power miter saw, jig saw, and power drill--none of which has let me down so far. This is my first Ryobi "reconditioned purchase" and it seems to be a smart move saving the extra money over brand new. My unit had very low, if any, usage--it works as good as new and has no visible flaws. All attachments were there and were easy to snap on and remove to change function from blowing to vacuuming. Easy to understand instruction manual, also. I don't know how this product will hold up over the long haul, but for now, it's great--good power to blow and vacuum leaves. The only two negatives I can think of is high gasoline consumption (which I've heard is the case with many other brands also) and it seems to run very hot when vacuuming and mulching leaves.』

(useful) 『It's a smaller shop vac that works well with plenty of vacuum to pick up wood chips and other bits around the work site. The unit is very solid plastic but not too heavy to carry while using. The hose has a nice, substantial, rubbery feel. It is very flexible and can get clogged but it is easy to clear by straightening. The 18V battery gives power for long enough to be useful, though I only used it with the battery a few times. It is a little noisy, but not too bad.』
(It's okay - I expected more) 『I've had the Dewalt DC500 for about a year and have used it dozens of times.
This product works for light duty pick up -- saw dust in the shop; sugar or coffee spills in the kitchen. However, for vacuuming carpeted stairs, car floors, and other surfaces that you want to really clean without dealing with cords or weighty appliances, I have to think there are other products with more suction.
It does have a long cord, however, for when you want to run independent of the battery. And it's light enough to carry around while using it.
If it had just a little more suction, I'd rate it 5 stars.』
(Can't figure out whether to say it sucks or doesn't suck.) 『I had occasion to use my DeWalt portable vacuum the other day to clean some concrete dust out of my car. It works, and is better than nothing, but I'm thinking for $100.00 think of how many times I could go to the do-it-yourself carewash and use the powerful vacuums there that really work. I have had it for several years now, and I rarely use it because I know it simply will not do the job.
What a real vacuum, or shop-vac would do in seconds, it took me many minutes to do with this vacuum. I have to say that I am not happy that I bought it. At the time I thought it was the perfect solution for my car and portable cleaning, but under battery power the device is even less powerful than when the cord is plugged in.
It is handy, and it better than some of the cheap vaccums you can buy for your car, but the thing is, this appliance does not do the job. This is a product that really should not exist. It costs a lot of money and it does not work like a good expensive vacuum cleaner should, it just doesn't.
I'm very disappointed and would not buy this or anything like it again. 』
(Excellent cordless vac!) 『After 6 months of ownership I can say this is a great little vacuum! I think it now gets more use than my large ShopVac Pro Series.

I've used it for usual debris cleanup tasks in the garage, and for cleaning up after drilling and sawing jobs around the house. I also use it in our RV on camping trips.
I have really tested its "wet" vac capabilities too. After draining our spa, I used this vac to get some water puddles out. Also when I had a sprinkler line fail, I used it vac out the water and dirt in the hole so I could quickly get to the broken line. It's a great tool and I highly recommend it.
Only improvement would be if it could actually charge an inserted battery when it's plugged into AC power, otherwise I have no complaints about it.』 『Giving you the option to work cordless or corded, the convenient and powerful DeWalt DC500 Two Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum sucks up big work shop messes and job site debris quickly and efficiently.

iRobot
Usually ships in 3 to 5 weeks Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Does just what it's supposed to) 『We got a Looj a month ago and have used it 3 times. That's 3 trips up and down a ladder instead of the 24 or so trips I would have made cleaning the gutters the old way. The thing works, period.
I read some reviews where people mentioned the Looj tipping over or not working very well. I just think you have to have reasonable expectations. It's not a 35-pound powerhouse. It's plastic and light. You'll want to keep your eye on it when you're running it and you'll need to run it back-and-forth a few times if the leaves are wet and/or plentiful. Just read and follow the directions and pay attention and it'll be fine.
Someone else wrote this and it is true ... the Looj won't save you much time but in using it I haven't had to move the ladder once. Well worth the price!』
(Irobot in the Gutter with Service) 『As always received the product quickly from Amazon. Unit had problems from the manufacture. Service response was terrible, tech had very poor english. Took five calls over seven days to get any answers, finally had to give up on the mess. Would not suggest this product or this Company.』
(Doesn't save time but makes gutter cleaning safer... wear safety glasses!) 『Before you decide whether you want to invest the money in a gutter cleaning "robot" do yourself a favor and measure your gutters to see if the Looj will fit. iRobot has a really convenient print out that shows the dimensions and will allow you to cut out the template to easily measure your gutter's width/depth and whether the Looj will make it under your gutter straps, nails or however they are hung. You can find it on iRobot's website in the Looj 125/135/155 product description. I had a link to the PDF but Amazon wouldn't let me include it in my review. Sorry.
Once you know the device will fit in your gutter and won't get stuck, then read the reviews and decide if it's worth the money.
For me, the Looj has done a great job on my gutters. It will, however, NOT save you ANY time and could potentially take longer than it would if you repositioned the ladder. The difference is that the Looj makes the process of gutter cleaning an order of magnitude safer than what most people are accustomed to. The Looj is also technically not a robot; it's more of a remote controlled car that works for you. You can't set it and forget it like you can iRobot's Roomba.
The way the device works is you first must charge the battery. This requires you to plug it into the outlet with just the bare battery; you cannot plug the Looj into the wall as you would with iRobot's other 'bots such as the Roomba. The reason being is that the Looj is waterproof up to 1 foot (12 inches, or roughly 31 cm). In order to accomplish this, iRobot couldn't design this as affordably as it is given the need to waterproof the electrical plug as well.
The battery requires a charge of at least 15 hours. I'm unsure as to the reasoning behind this, but it could be because of battery "memory." The Looj is a device that you won't be using every week of the year. You will be using it during certain seasons, with the Looj being retired after the last leaves fall from the trees and started back up in spring (potentially). If the battery had what is known as "memory," you would potentially need to buy a new battery every year. This battery will deplete itself gradually, so when bringing the Looj out of a winter's retirement you will need to recharge it and NOT buy a new battery.
One complaint from the first generation of Looj was you were expected to ONLY charge it 15 hours. No more, no less. I'm not sure how anyone could really keep track of this. The new Looj needs 15 hours to charge but now it's OK to leave it plugged in "for no more than a few days." Hopefully during a 3 day period you're home to unplug it. I have no idea what will happen if you leave it plugged in longer; probably a shorter battery life over all.
You will also need 2 AAA batteries (NOT included) for the remote control device. Install these into the handle/remote.
Once you've charged the battery, you place it into the Looj's battery compartment (follow the directions to ensure proper water proof-ness of the Looj). Attach the belt clip to your belt or pants, attach the Looj's auger to the Looj (the auger is that funny brush/rubber contraption and does all the work), attach the remote control to the Looj (it's a convenient handle) and hang the Looj from the belt clip. The clip for the Looj to hang from is on the opposite end of the auger. Do NOT attempt to hang the Looj from the remote control handle.
One complaint I have with regards to the clip is that it is very easy to pull not only the Looj off of the clip, but it's easy to take the clip with it, which makes it potentially dangerous as you fumble around on the ladder. I cannot recommend enough that if you go with the Looj, prior to climbing the ladder ensure you are acquainted with easily removing it from the clip so as to avoid any danger.
Another complaint with the belt clip is that you are expected to place the Looj, after running it through your dirty, mucky gutters, on the clip. This WILL bring the dirty, wet Looj into contact with your pants leg and possibly your shirt as well. Be sure to wear clothes you don't mind having to wash when doing this job. iRobot has a holster for the previous model that should protect you from dirty clothes and won't detach the belt clip with it but I'm unsure whether this will snuggly hold the second generation Looj.
Place your ladder. It is recommended that for larger sections of ladder you try and place the ladder in the middle of the gutter run so you can have the Looj travel the full length of the gutter from a central location. One of iRobot's design goals with this 'bot is to set the ladder ONCE and not have to reposition every time.
One thing I would like to stress is that if you are using this device, BUY AND WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. The Looj will be throwing debris out of the gutter at potentially high speeds and if you have wind you have the potential for blow back. If you get dirt and debris in your eyes, climbing down the ladder becomes infinitely more dangerous.
Once your ladder is placed, ascend it and clean a 2 foot space in the gutter and place the Looj in the center of the gutter. Ensure it rests in the bottom groove as securely as possible. If you don't do this, the Looj could possibly climb out of the gutter and damage itself, nearby plants or even a nearby bystander.
Remove the remote control. Turn the remote control on. Turn the robot on (there's a yellow switch). When you look at the remote, you will see a forward and reverse button. You will also see 2 options for the auger control. One goes clockwise the other counter clockwise. Before moving the Looj forward, decide which direction you want it to toss debris. The recommended method is to have it toss the debris off the roof instead of onto it. You can reverse the auger while using the Looj, making it so once you've complete 1/2 your gutter you place the Looj in the other 1/2 and toss the debris in the opposite direction (still away from the house).
If the Looj gets stuck in muck, put the Looj in reverse. If you still can't free it from the muck, put the Looj in reverse and the auger flipping in the direction opposite of the way you had it running when it got stuck. I have saved the Looj from a few close calls and have never had to get on the roof or reposition the ladder to retrieve it. Have patience.
The remote has a 75 foot (roughly 23 meters) range. This can be "extended" on aluminum gutters by placing and holding the remote to the gutter. I have not needed this as 75 feet is plenty of range on my rancher.
Move the Looj forward with the auger spinning (tossing away from the house). Take areas with lots of debris SLOWLY. iRobot claims that this model is smart enough to slow itself down in areas but I've found that it doesn't always slow itself enough, sometimes beginning to ride up some of the debris and potentially OUT of the gutter. That wouldn't be good.
Stay on the ladder while doing this job; otherwise you won't see when Looj is approaching a potentially dangerous fall. You may only need to set the ladder once, but you do need to stay on it while it works to avoid accidents.
Once you've moved the Looj to the end of the gutter, use the remote to put it into reverse and bring it back to you. Place the Looj on the other side of the gutter you're cleaning, change the direction the auger is spinning to ensure it's throwing muck away from the house, and move it forward just as you did the first side.
Be aware that you WILL make everything in throwing range of the Looj dirty with muck. This will require cleaning the front porch, back deck or anything you may park in your driveway within "spitting" range. Move anything far enough away from the gutters to avoid messy clean up. Of course you'd have some of this if you just ran your hands through the gutters and tossed the debris yourself... it would be a little less haphazard though.
I have also found that using the Looj in wet gutters is better than in dry gutters. This is because in my gutters I've found the really dry areas have cakes of debris in the gutter which the Looj can take some time to clean. The caveat is that it's obviously easier to clean dry debris off of a back deck than it is wet, but be aware that you lessen the cleaning potential of the Looj using it in dry gutters (assuming you get debris cakes like I do baked onto your gutter; if all you have is leaves and pine needles, you should be fine dry Loojing).
Beware of pine cones. If you have pine cones in your gutter and they are situated in just the wrong way, the Looj won't clear them from the gutter and will also potentially ride up onto the pine cone, again giving you the potentially of the Looj escaping from the gutter and diving to its death.
The differences between the models is what is included in the box:
135 - all of the above with 2 augers (instead of 1) and a nice rugged case (looks like a tool box)
155 - all of the 135 features AND 2 batteries instead of 1
The robot itself, in all three models, is EXACTLY the same as the other models. The only difference is the above included items.
In the end, if I had to decide to get the Looj or not, I would definitely buy again. I just hope the 3rd gen includes some way for the Looj to sense when it's preparing itself for a suicide leap from the gutter and a faster charging battery.
Pros:
Robot does all the work Set the ladder ONCE (well, once per area of gutter) Easy to use Does a much better job than most humans at cleaning a gutter Gutter cleaning is a much safer job
Cons:
Long battery charge Can't leave battery plugged in over long periods of time Looj can have problems with pine cones and twigs in gutters Can jump itself out of the gutter if you don't keep your eye on it Belt clip can leave you dirty Doesn't really save time Everything beneath or near the gutter will be dirty; extra clean up time needed 』
(OKay, but definitely requires patience) 『I have an older home with box gutters. The last time I was on the roof, the ladder moved as I tried to get off the roof which spooked me. A distant neighbor had a serious accident as well. As a result, I usually pay a roofer to clean the gutters. Unfortunately, they can take several weeks to come out and do the cleaning and I am an impatient person.
On our house, the gutters are 40' from the ground, so there isn't a convenient way to use the looj from the ground. I can access the gutters from the roof via dormers so my method of using the looj was to tie a rope to the looj and drive it into the gutters that were 3 or 4 feet below me.
Prior to looj'ing, I had 3 main problems around the downspouts. Roofing companies put small wire traps over the gutter to keep the downspouts from clogging. Three of these were clogged at the trap. The first one was relatively straight forward although I kept getting caught on the trap. Usually backing up and going forward would resolve the problem, but frequently I needed to use the rope with forward motion on the looj to get it to figure out how to get around the trap. This worked relatively well and after 20 minutes I had cleared the gutter. Unfortunately, I had also worked the trap free and had no way to retrieve it.
I moved to the second gutter to repeat the process. This one was pretty easy although, again, I had to convince the looj to bypass the gutter trap.
During the cleaning of the third gutter, I lost the auger twice. Luckily, I was able to drag it back using the looj and retrieve it and resinstall it.
During the cleaning of the fourth gutter, I lost the auger once and eventually lost one of the treads. I was unable to retrieve the tread, so I need to go to irobot.com and order another two. It sure would be nice if Amazon carried replacement parts.
I rate the Looj about a 3. Outside of a human going up on the roof (and the $150ish price tag that comes with it, the looj is the best thing out there, but it's not without it's issues.』
(Flings muck all over, doesn't necessarily fit all gutters) 『After noticing that my new house had completely clogged gutters, I rushed to the computer to buy the Looj. I'm a huge iRobot fan, and the price point was low enough I didn't have to ask my wife's permission!
I couldn't rush out and use "my new toy" because the battery takes 15 hours to charge.
I just used it for the first time, and was pretty impressed. First-off, it is definitely NOT a toy. It's pretty darned effective, when it works.
However, there were a few complicating factors.
1) Some of my gutters are too thin for the Looj, so I have to do them by hand.
2) The house has these nifty ice melting wires right on the edge of the shingles... and the Looj kept getting caught in them. I was usually able to free it by turning the auger backwards (slinging muck on the side of the roof) and reversing direction, but I had to free it up by hand a few times.
3) For really mucked up areas, even the mighty Looj was outgunned.
4) What it got, it did really well. But that auger... just slung the muck away from the roof. Onto me (even though I was standing 15 feet away), onto the car (which had to be washed anyway), and onto the patio (which my wife is ready to kill me for!)
So all in all, iRobot has a really good start here, but not everyone can use it... and even for those that can, I'd suggest waiting until they come up with a model with a built in garbage bag before you get one!』 『IRobot Looj Gutter Cleaning SystemCleaning gutters can be a dangerous and time consuming job but it is an essential part of home maintenance.

I wanted a vac that was affordable for my car and didn't really think ahead on the size and shape of this vac... so now I know that its not perfect FOR ME. I would like to keep it in my car instead of my trunk but its just too big for my car. Its powerful and has many wonderful attachments. Its easy to dump/clean. Its almost just like a mini shop-vac for your car, so if you are into that its great and the price can't be beat!』 『The Heavy Duty Wet/Dry Ultra Vacuum is ideal for cars, boats and campers. The Ultra Wet/Dry Vacuum removes both liquid and dirt from your vehicle's interior and has the capability to inflate a tire, an air mattress, and much more. This all-in-one vacuum can easily be plugged into any standard cigarette lighter. It's a must have for any garage or camper.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (works great!) 『The FGC-6909 Vacuum pump did a great job when I had to repair my Astro vans air conditioner. As a retired truck tech I still love to do a little A/C work. The price was what lead me to this pump.』
(What a nifty pump!) 『I purchased this pump to evacuate glow discharge tubes of my own manufacture. It came highly recommended yet I was still pleasantly surprised at how well it pumps and how quietly it operates. I'm not sure how anyone can make a profit selling it for $99, but I guess that's for someone else to worry about. I'm just very happy to have it! Delivery from Wholesale Parts&Tools was just three or four days.』
(Great Vacuum Pump) 『The shipping on this was a little longer than I thought it should be, but the wait was worth it. This is an excellant pump at a very good price. It tells you that the time to use it is 45 minutes to an hour. My system was done in 15 minutes. I bought this because I was tired of being robbed at the garages. I had not done A.C. work before, but it is much easier than they want you to know. I saved more than $1,000 on my truck and I have since done my son's truck. I do recommend this pump to anyone and it comes with the old and new style gauge fittings.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Don't buy this book!) 『I was really upset when I got this book and found that absolutely none of the "swipe letters" were of any use at all. I can't believe thay I wasted over a hundred bucks on this collection of nonsense! The letters are poorly written and there is no useful instructional information either. Don't believe the positive reviews of this book, they're obviously written by the author. "Steal These Secrets" by Clayton Makepeace is somewhat better - at least it's useful. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your money on Kilstein's awful book.』
(I don't think people get it) 『I don't think people fully appreciate what this book is all about. The brilliant concept around this book is that you have the ability to see, documented, successful, million dollar sales letters. And you're invited to swipe the content to create your own sales letter.
It doesn't matter if YOU like them or how they are presented, the fact is BUYERS do like them and respond to them. I wish I could afford to hire Harlan to do sales letters for me, but this offers me a look over his shoulder. I think that is the next best thing!
Many, many successful marketers that I know personally follow Harlan. One dear friend of mine, Armand Morin, has a saying... Success Leaves Traces.
You can see that failures leave traces as well, you can see evidence of that in some of the reviews here. Now you have a chance to Get It! So I encourage you to do just that.』
(Steal This Book? No Thanks) 『I'll break this review down into two parts: what I liked about Steal This Book by Harlan Kilstein, and what I did not like.
What I liked: Catchy title, cool graphics on the cover and a few interesting sales letters I'd never seen before.
What I did not like: It's hard to tell who this book was written for, people just getting into the field of advertising copywriting, or experienced pros looking to expand their swipe file. If you are new to the field of copywriting, you may be impressed with the author's authoritative tone and writing style. But if you are new to copywriting there are many other (IMO) better places to start learning, such as Tested Advertising Methods by Caples, Scientific Advertising by Hopkins, and How to Write A Good Advertisement by Schwab. Pick up those three (plus Ogilvy on Advertising) and study them, and you will have gained an excellent education on direct response copywriting. And you can buy all of those books for less than half of Steal This Book.
If you are an experienced copywriter looking to expand your swipe file, I think you will be really disappointed with what you find in this book. The content is weak. The examples provided are just not that well written.
Pros already know the best way to build a top shelf swipe file is to buy a product or two from the big mailers in a specific industry and collect the promotions they send you in a box. This approach allows you to hold each package or sales letter received in your hands, which is a different experience than just seeing a picture of it in a book. Plus you get the added benefit of seeing how winning pieces evolve over time as previous controls are replaced by news ones.』
(Don't waste your money) 『The price of this book is a joke. You can get more and better letters and instruction for FREE just by going to Bencivenga Bullets or Clayton Makepeace on the web, or saving your junk mail. I'm a direct response writer and have made $100k+ freelancing for over a decade, and I think it's morally reprehensible to try and get this much money from beginning writers. Author doesn't seem to have even one original idea -- the book's name isn't even original -- Abbie Hoffman famously wrote "Steal this Book" more than 30 years ago. Kilstein isn't interested in helping beginning writers, just in stealing from those trying to learn how to make it in the biz. SHAME ON HARLAN KILSTEIN!!!!!』
(Not Recommended) 『This book was disappointing and over-priced. First, Harlan Kilstein is not a recognized A-level copywriter. I don't think he is even a recognized B-level copywriter. If you are going to study ads and salesletters and add them to your "swipe file", shouldn't the ads be written by a top professional who has proven their ability by writing controls for the big name publishers? Has Harlan Kilstein ever written a control for Boardroom? Or Philips? Or Agora? Or any other well-known mailer? I don't believe he has, or he would say so in his book and on his web site. Your money would be FAR better spent picking up Clayton Makpeace's "Steal These Secrets Volumes I&II" where you will find actual full color magalogs Makepeace wrote, which mailed in the MILLIONS of pieces. Makepeace is an established and widely recognized A-level copywriter who earns a reported $4,000,000 + per year in royalties from the copy he has written. Now THERE is a copywriter to learn from. Owning both "Steal This Book" by Kilstein, and "Steal These Secrets" by Clayton Makepeace, I can tell you Makepeace's swipe file is 100 times more valuable.』 『
The number one goal of every business is to increase the return on investment of each marketing dollar. Whether you want to generate a huge response from a newspaper or magazine ad, a direct mail letter, or an internet site, the most important element you need to know is "What really works?" Every time a business experiments in testing, it costs money and may not produce a return. Finally, there's an opportunity for the ordinary business to become extraordinary. Harlan Kilstein has produced a collection of proven sales letters that have generated millions of dollars in sales for both online and offline companies. Kilstein's sales letters are pure gold; one recent online letter brought in $110,000 a minute. In Steal This Book: Million Dollar Sales Letters You Can Legally Steal To Suck In Cash Like A Vacuum on Steroids, not only do you get examples of what really works, you also get instructions on how to adapt these letters for any business. Ask any copywriter what his most important possession is and he'll point to his "swipe file" of proven winners accumulated over years. Now, you have the opportunity to get a multi-million dollar swipe file in your hands and put it to use. The Forward to Steal This Book was written by copywriter John Carlton.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A very usefull and clarifing book) 『In this book every engineer interested in precise and helpfull technical information and resources related to manufacturing and application of vacuum interrupter technology will find a great source.』 『Drawn from the author's more than four decades of practical experience in the industry, The Vacuum Interrupter: Theory, Design, and Application first discusses the design and manufacture of the vacuum interrupter before delving into its general application.
The book begins with a review of the vacuum breakdown process and what to consider when developing a design for a high-voltage application. It then discusses the vacuum arc and how its appearance changes as a function of current. This section concludes with an overview of existing contact materials, a summary of their advantages and disadvantages, an analysis of vacuum interrupter contact design, and considerations for the manufacture of vacuum interrupters. The next section on application describes the interruption process for low- and high-current vacuum arcs, examines the voltage escalation event that occurs if the contact gap is very small at the ac current zero, and explores the phenomenon of contact welding. It also studies the application of vacuum interrupters to switch load currents, circuit breakers, and reclosers.
Owing to the increasing need for environmentally friendly interrupting systems, the development of vacuum interrupters will only intensify over time. With extensive references in each chapter for further exploration, this comprehensive guide provides essential, up-to-date knowledge to fully understand this vital technology.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (unbeLIEVably good!) 『Do you want to store food at home that, along with a means of boiling water, could get you easily through an emergency (such as a hurricane, a power outage, or a week isolated at home with the flu)? Do you have family members of the old meat-and-potatoes type who can't imagine being satisfied with canned or freeze-dried entrees? Then this dish is for you. My husband, trying to be supportive, agreed grimly to try a Mountain House meal or two from our local sporting goods store in support of my plan to identify emergency foods to store at home. But he wasn't happy, even though he agreed with surprise that the Mountain House beef stew wasn't too bad after all. Then we stumbled on this as our second experiment. Wow. He asked me 3 times, all while wolfing it down, how this had been cooked, incredulous that it came out of a freeze dried packet cooked with nothing but boiling water poured into it. Really, this is absolutely delicious. Expensive, yes -- you won't want to eat this particular entree all the time, though my husband would be happy to! But as a treat planned for once every few days or so, it's a wonderful item to include in your emergency food kit along with a JetBoil or other means of boiling water if the power's out.
For those who can't guess how it works but need to know before they ante up the money, here's the deal: You remove the hamburger patties, leave the mashed potatoes in the pouch, add part of the boiling water, seal the pouch up like a Ziploc, and leave it for the specified time, after which you open the pouch and scrape the potatoes out onto to a plate or bowl. Then you return the hamburger patties to the still slightly gook-y pouch and add the remaining boiling water to cook them in the same fashion. The label on the pouch tells you how much water and how much time in the sealed bag for each part of the cooking process. It doesn't seem as though it will work -- I almost threw it out before cooking when I saw what the uncooked food looked like. And I was still dubious when I removed the reconstituted hamburgers, placed them next to the previously cooked potatoes, and served up the lot for my husband and me. But WOW. The meat is fork-tender and flavorful, with no sign of its reconstituted state, and the mashed potatoes are cheesy, fluffy, and perfect in texture -- just like your favorite mashed potatoes from a restaurant near home. Neither one is gummy or squishy -- each is like good regular food, both in taste and in mouth feel.
Try it. You won't believe how good it is. I'm betting you'll end up raiding your emergency supply fairly often during the just-got-home-late-can't-bear-to-cook-dinner-but-can't-stand-leftovers-or-pizza-delivery-need-a-real-"home-cooked"-type-meal-HELP! type of emergency that confronts all of us more often than we'd like. Trust me. You'll be glad you laid in a supply of this.
P.S. Based on my husband's reaction, I should tell you that, even though one pouch technically serves two people, there are individuals out there who will want their own pouch all to themselves... (!). He really has become quite a fan. We're cutting back on our expenditures right now. He doesn't want me to spend anything for anything. But when I told him I was ordering 10 of these from Amazon to keep in the house, he nodded enthusiastically and said "OH yeah...!".』 『Outdoor enthusiasts have made Mountain House freeze-dried food their first choice for 40 years because of its great taste. Other backpacking food brands consist of only a few freeze-dried ingredients, mixed with dried seasonings and ingredients, which are then blended, not cooked. Mountain House meals are cooked to give you the delicious homemade flavor you deserve.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (desktop photo studio) 『Definitely worth the price from Amazon - but don't buy from pricier stores. It is a cute little model, sets up nice (altho not overly sturdy - the corners don't fit "quite' right but the Velcro makes it work OK), and the blue backdrop is working very nicely for almost every subject. My only 2 real concerns have been: the camera tripod that comes with it doesn't stay extended (but then I prefer to hand-hold my camera anyway); and the directions to set up the studio initially put it up backwards - or was it inside out?! Anyway, once I figured that out, I was in business, and I've been using it almost daily. The adjustable spotlights are great, the diffusers work fantastic, overall I'm very pleased with the studio - and all my co-workers are so impressed with my 'access to and knowledge of technology' and with the photographs that I'm turning out for our museum!
