Nothing special about this. If your going from XP to Vista only buy this if it is cheap. You will not learn much. Mine came from Smokey Mountain books (150 miles) at a slower than slow time. Stay away from this vendor!

NPR for Dog Lovers
Smart, fair, funny and informative. I often refer to this periodical as the NPR for dog lovers. Actually you can see that many times contributors are people from NPR. Our dogs are our family and we enjoy them very much. I read this magazine from cover to cover. I have given many gifts subscriptions!

Awful magazine
I hate this magazine. It is so animal rights centered its ridiculous. They also appear to be anti balanced training and only pro purely positive. If thats what you like, great. Have at it. But I found this it to be irritating to read and fairly useless, and extremely expensive for what you get.

Dog is my Co-pilot
For dog lovers, The Bark magazine is simply the best there is. Full of beauty and heart, a feast for the soul. Even the ads are gorgeous! I savor each issue like I would a fine rich chocolate. Try it, you won't be sorry.

I love The Bark!!
Every issue is so exciting you'll look forward to buy/receive them in your mailbox every 2 months!beautiful pictures,neat ads and so many articles(some really touching!).they focuses probably more on real life heroes rather than celebrities which makes them unique.

Magazine for people who love dogs.
I love dogs. And I love this magazine. Why? Because it helps me understand my dog. It helps me to give my dog a better life. I discover ways to keep my dog healthy and happy, well groomed and exercised. Things I would never know about my pet I discover in an issue of this well written publication.Highly recommended.

This Magazine isn't for PETA folks
This magazine celebrates and explores the relationship between owners and their beloved dogs. You won't find anti dog-owning propaganda here, just articles about regular folks with their regular (often purebred) dogs. It's almost fashionable to own mutts these days but one dog is very different from another. One size does not suit all. I find it very refreshing that this magazine touts the very special reasons that different dog breeds were developed in the first place. I recommend this magazine to all who love dogs of any breed.

Poor Customer Service
I have also had problems with customer service. I too received a gift subscription Christmas 2011 and to date have only received one issue. I have made 5 calls to clear up the problem (wrong zip code, new distributor - blah blah blah) still no satisfaction and the person that I have spoken to over the phone seems as if she could care less...maybe I will have my dog call - she may get a better and quicker response.

Frustrated with their customer service
We received this magazine as a gift from my sister-in-law last year for Christmas. Well, we got a total of two issues and nothing else. When I went to their site see what the status of our subscription was, I was informed that there is a"credit hold" on the subscription, even though my sister-in-law had already paid for a full year. Now they're saying that if we want the remaining issues, that WE need to pay $10. I don't understand the rationale behind this, and have received no response to emails asking if we are ever going to get our remaining issues. While I think that this magazine is interesting, I think that because of all the hassles, I will not renew this subscription and just chalk this up to a start-up magazine that doesn't know what they are doing.

How the mighty are fallen
What has Dave Brock done since about 1992? The answer - getting quite a number of people with very little talent into Hawkwind, taking them down the route of bad reggae, idiotic and illiterate raps filled with ecological/political cliches etc..this is not an album that will impress the serious Hawkwind fan, who prefers original musicians of quality to today's sad latecomersWell, this album has two high points, the beautiful instrumentals 'Prairie' and 'Diana Park', but suffers terribly from poor track indexing (some cuts run together -and I don't mean segueing).Come on Dave - get people of the quality of Simon House back into the group and start making real music again.

An all star kung fu cast in a very boring movie
I usually don't care whether or not a kung fu movie has a good story, but the story is the reason I didn't like this movie. Everybody is looking for a map and it just doesn't make much sense. There are other parts to the story but it is mainly just mindless talking.I suggest just fast forwarding to the last 20 minutes. Dorian Tan, Lo Lieh, Roc Tien Peng, Angela Mao Ying, and Chang Yi all get to show off, and Chang Yi is the only one I felt got enough fighting time. He is on fire in the final fights and he is the only reason this movie is worth watching.2/5The picture quality on the Crash Cinema DVD starts out pretty bad but improves as the movie goes on.

Some good tips delivered in an agonizing format and tone
I read about 1/3 of the book and frankly that was all I could stand of the format and tone of the book. While some of the tips are good, others just sound preachy. They are written in a very absolutist way without a detailed explanation of the author's viewpoint. While it might seem helpful to offer short, easily digestible tips, when you offer 125 of them they become pretty useless. For the number of tips, the author would have been better just to write in a normal book format and spend more time both filling in the blanks of why she believes in the recommended approaches and tying the tips together into broader themes and an overall strategy.There are some good morsels in the book, but the format and tone are too obnoxious for me to handle.

I was sold on this one!
Ever wanted to sell without car salesman tricks? This book is your guide: no tricks and no pricks.Ron Willingham's writings in this book get to the key questions about sales and the needs of your customer. Although many books have been written on this subjects, the easy way to apply this book into real life is a unique selling point.People without any conscience can and will apply tricks, but for some of us - like me - I cannot go further selling without any guilt appearing to the surface. With integrity selling you'll learn to actually help your customer. Unfortunately, products cost money and you will have to write a bill for that!This book takes a different approach to sales and learns you to have fun selling and focus on your customer's needs, instead of you or your bosses bank account.I'm not going to tell you have to buy this book, but if you like what you read above just give it a try!

Never lives up to its hype. It left me with the feeling that all Willingham is trying to do is to get me to buy his brand of sales training. By a magazine like Personal Selling Power instead. I want my money back.

My purchase.
I love my digital recorder. I use it for lectures and for every day reminders. I bought this item at a Best Buy store and overpaid by $30, but other than that particularly sour detail, I am very happy with my purchase. I would only advise a potential customer to invest in rechargeable batteries (Size AAA; Ni-MH)& charger to avoid having to buy new batteries every seven months or so.I followed the advice from a "Thursday Trader" and was able to record some of my most important notes onto my hard drive via my sound recorder, then I deleted them from the digital voice recorder, so I regained more time to record quality sound.So, to summarize. I am happy with my purchase. The only con I see is that to record on high quality mode, you have a smaller amount of time. However, I don't see it as a big problem if you have a computer to transfer the recordings onto in order to clear the device from time to time.

Good sound, but I got tired of repairs
The sound quality of this device was perfectly acceptable--when it was working. After it refused to accept keyed commands, I sent it back for repair. Yes, it worked for awhile, but now it is not working again, giving weird beeps and refusing to record or play back. I am not hard on electronics, and I follow instructions. This was a real dud. I would send it back, but postage is getting so costly these days, it wouldn't be worth it. I am writing it off as a bad decision.

Better off with a rock and chisel
I'm a professional writer. I perform phone interviews on a weekly basis and this little unit has been the bane of my existence since I bought it. No USB port to import files, extremely difficult-to-use controls, confusing file organization, unreliable operation and about 2 hours of recording time that goes by before you know it. A dud all the way around. Mine just broke down after a year of troubled use, and now I'm going to buy a Sony.

Great little recorder
This digital voice recorder is super small with lots of memory. I used it in learning a new language, and it was very easy to record new words and play them back later.This is a convenient way to record. It has several recording features, and it has different folders in which you can put recordings.

Disappointed in quality
The first recorder I received had a damaged battery compartment door that would not close. As this came in a sealed factory package, I can only assume that this is indicative of Olympus quality. One month after placing my original order, I received the second recorder (retail vendor was very easy to work with, quickly responded to my email complaint). At least the door would close over the batteries on this one. If I had received this one first, I would have given the recorder 3 stars, but averages are averages (and I rounded up). The case is cheap plastic, not very durable. I have my doubts about long-term survivability.Way too complicated except for a techie. But using the basic record, playback, and erase functions are almost straightforward.I would not buy another one from Olympus.

transferring files
i'm going to give this 2 stars because of the misleading effect of the reviews, not because of the quality of the product. (sorry). to clarify, in order to transfer the files to your computer, you need to have a sound recorder on your computer. you have to plug the voice recorder into your computer's music jack and play the entire file while recording it with the sound recorder. you end up with the file on your computer, but it's a lot more trouble and time than uploading would be if it had PC connectivity.

No good
It seems I have to get a new voice recorder, since this one has been frustrating me. Three problems. First, sound only comes out of one side of the headphones when they're attached to it, and I have tried multiple headphones so it's not the headphones problem. Secondly, it has now on two occasions spontaneously and unbeknownst to me stopped recording during the lectures I was trying to record, which I only realized later when trying to listen to the lectures. I've now lost a couple lectures of material and the money spent on this thing. Lastly, the batteries that came with it didn't last long. Maybe that was just a problem with those batteries in particular...I don't know since I'm not going to run down the new batteries I put in it because I'm not going to use this anymore. Finally I should say that the box mine came in said it was refurbished. This may or may not have made a difference. I don't know.

buy lots of batteries
I had the same problem as one of the other reviewers, it goes through batteries like crazy, way more than it should for the limited number of recordings I did. Someone else mentioned that theirs had a defective door on the battery compartment, it wouldn't close or something, but that's no big deal because the batteries have to be replaced so often there's no point having a door on the compartment in the first place.

I read a lot of reviews before I purchased this recorder. It met the criteria and 17 hrs recording time was mid range and worked for my needs. The Olympus's sound quality is excellent - I was amazed.

The author is right on target to assume that kids are interested in making learning easier and more fun.

Good fur trade yarn
While this is an absorbing and interesting tale, it is difficult at times to distinguish between fact and fiction. In his introduction, Dr. Weber examines myth versus authenticity in Coyner's work on trapper Ezekiel Williams' life in the early 1800's. It is a good book and worthy of reading.

Brake required disassembley
The bike arrives semi-assembled. Which was a pleasant surprise since I was expecting it to need complete assembly.The only tools required were monkey wrench and an allen wrench set.The whole assembly probably requires about 45min or less.However, I had an issue with the front brakes.It required me to completely dissasemble the brake and reassemble.It seems one of the joints were too tight and the brake was not releasing (no spring action).I had to have a freind help because one person needed to hold the tension on the brake and the other put in the screws. (unless you have some kind of brake assembly jig).Also on the 1st ride the front tire went flat nearly immediately. I looked from something that caused the flat but couldnt find anything. Pinched tube from the factory? maybe...but who knows.

Not What I Expected
I had seen of lot of my comments in other reviews, but am nonetheless disappointed. For an item averaging above 4.5 stars, this bike does not meet expectations.The shifters are indeed in an awkward position, and the brakes are only in the lower handles, which is also annoying. Most reviewers comment on being at least 5'9", and I'd add...don't buy this bike if you're 6' or taller. The petals and most of the time, my feet, hit the ground if you turn sharply.Furthermore, the gear range (14) isn't wide enough...the lower gear isn't enough to climb steep hills and the highest gear isn't enough to sustain pedaling once you have some real speed.Overall, I learned I shouldn't have been so cheap to buy a bike. If you want one, spring for the $400+ bike. The extra $200+ or so is well worth your happiness and willingness to ride the bike.

Very interesting ideas and drills! Changed my perspective.
I am a teaching pro for the past 30 years and after reading Zennis I changed how I approach the game and my teaching method. I loved the book because it combines the author's real life experience with practical drills that can be used by professionals as well as the average player.I now have a new method for teaching that helps keep my students calm and their minds quieter. Great for teaching beginners how to focus on the ball and not be so self conscious.For a book written quite some time ago it is super relevant even in this age of power tennis.

The other side of the net
Peter captures some of the subtleties in the game many other coaches and players over look. He brings to the court a broad perspective that helps you think outside the box. His techniques for finding the zone are effective, but it require some courage to go through with the drills. The not so obvious workings or non-workings of the mind during play are addressed throughout. There are some gems of information that should be worth the read for anyone attracted to the title.

No Strings Attached
NO STRINGS ATTACHED is a delightful blend of romance and magic. Holly O'Mara is an herbalist who discovers a genie living in a jerry can. She agrees to housesit for a friend, but when the woman's lawyer son shows up at the house, everything is turned upside down. He's a very skeptical attorney who is out to prove that his mother's story of a legendary sea serpent is a figment of her imagination. Holly is terribly distressed that he'd do this to his own mother and thinks he needs to lighten up. She can't even begin to imagine what he'd do if he discovered a genie in her jerry can, which she carries with her at all times.There are so many hysterical scenes that will have you laughing out loud. The characters are portrayed perfectly. This is a very fast-paced book and you will gobble it up in one sitting.

ABSOLUTE JUNK
The majority of the content in this book I took upon myself to blackout, like military censorship. Horrible grammar and input on pop culture. After I told my professor that the Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa formulas were wrong we largely stopped using it. I would suggest buying a chemistry, thermodynamics or geology book instead. My energy industry course instilled more knowledge than this oversized coaster ever will. This text is total garbage and should be given away for free!

Wasn't the right item for me
It seems this steamer is meant for removing wallpaper. I purchased it to use for cleaning and it was way too impractical. It's large and unwieldy and takes too long to produce steam; about 12 minutes. The attachments aren't very useful for cleaning and seem cheer. The wallpaper attachment sputters very hot water out of it and it's dangerous. I never used it to remove wallpaper so I can't say if that works or not but I was unimpressed by everything else about it. I returned it and got a refund.

Messy
I wanted to love this steam cleaner, but I found it cumbersome and messy. Ugh. I didn't have the "fantastic" results that others are reporting. I tried cleaning a shower that has hard water residue and it didn't clean it AT ALL. Very time-consuming and frustrating. As for kitchen cleaning, it was too WET to work effectively on my glass-top range. In my experience, this steamer was too messy and too much trouble to lug around. I did not use it on my floors, since they are hardwood and I don't care what anyone says, water and wood DO NOT mix. I returned it and resumed good ole' elbow grease for cleaning. Do not recommend.

Disappointing
I didn't use it to remove wallpaper, just cleaning the house I just rented. Although I had read the reviews on the product talking about the low pressure of the steam and the low temperature, I thought it couldn't be so bad. It was. It's not strong enough to remove most of the stains and dirt and it makes you work triple, trying to get rid of them. Today I ended up cleaning the rail of the sliding doors in the guesthouse with the hose, after trying with the steamer for half an hour. Besides, the brushes melt literally the first 5 minutes. Another inconvenient is that is has no place to put away the cable and accesories.On the other side, it's really light, the steam lasts very long and it has an on/off switch. It comes with a screwdriver (for one single screw). It is pretty unexpensive, too.I wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty cleaning but I can't talk about the wallpaper removing tool.

Great little steam machine
I really love my steamer! I mainly use it to clean my hard floors because my entire downstairs living area is hard floors. I also have found lots of different things to clean and sanitize with it. I have used it several times to clean the kids toys, especially ones we have bought from Goodwill or garage sales. I love having the peace of mind that I'm killing germs all over my house!! The only thing I would like to see them improve is the floor attatchment. I like that it has clips that allows you to attatch any type of material you want to use to clean with. I use the reusable clothe diapers. I usually go through several in one cleaning because I don't like pushing around a dirty clothe. I only wish that there was a flat surface floor cleaner with clips because the brush hold the center of the steaming surface away from the floor and the brush is starting to go flat. Other than that I love this steam machine and would highly recommend it.

Good Steamer
Makes cleaning easier. I purchased this specifically to make cleaning my apartment easier when I moved out. It made it possible to clean in half the time and ensured I get my entire security deposit back when I moved out. The only thing I wish it had was a gauge to tell how much water was left inside the steamer. This isn't a show stopper, but would be nice. Even with this little fault, I would still get this steamer again.

Disappointed with the product
I completely agree with Alejandro Wille's review (April 24, 2011). I am just so puzzled as to how this product got so many positive reviews. I bought this thinking that a product with this many positive reviews can't go wrong. Big mistake. Will it the product does blow steam, its no where near powerful or hot as I would expect. I found the steam mopping to be equivalent to wiping the floor with a wet sponge. It literally doesn't not heat the floor which means its not killing any germs or bacteria.I also tried the hand steamer too and literally I did not see any improvements on anything that I cleaned -- sinks, tile grout, car mats.Overall, I'm very disappointed. I really do not know how this product received so many positive reviews. I keep hoping that maybe my product is just defective but I really do doubt that. I really wish I could return the product but apparently I passed the Amazon return period by 6 days.

nice machine
Bought this a few weeks ago and have used it a number of times. First the good things, well constructed even the attachments seem well constructed. It definately puts out alot of steam. I don't know how other machines work as far as the time to heat up but with the maximum amount of water it took about 12 minutes to get hot. The not so good, The steam time for the maximum amount of water seems to be more like 15 minutes not 50 minutes with constant steam. If you are using, and stop frequently it might be 50 minutes. Overall very satisfied with product just need to allow enough time for large projects.

thanks amazon.
It was somehow lost or missing in shipping. I think fed ex delivered to the wrong house. Amazon sent another no questions asked. Works great Just keep a towel nearby. Attachments seem to be very good quality, especially for the price. Does put out a lot of water, wonder if all steamers with a hose do that though. Not dry steam at all if you want dry steam, get a haan. Would give 5 stars if it wasn't so wet: )

Wagner 905 1,500 Watt Steamer
I had never actually owned a steamer so I read all of the reviews on several websites. The Wagner 905 seem to consistently receive positive reviews. I ordered it and have found it to be much less than I expected. I was looking for something that would make cleaning the shower and the title floor in the kitchen much easier. After about 30 minutes I went back to using some old fashion elbow grease and a scrubber for both. Perhaps my expectations were too high and I will keep the Wagner 905, but I really don't anticipate using it very much.

It is a very dangerous ill designed product
On my first use of this product, the pressurized steam could not come out from the steam hose. Hot water and hot steam were forced out from near the trigger mechanism. There is no automatic safe proof pressure release mechanism in this unit. It is a very dangerous ill designed product. The manual is extremely poor written without any advice on what to do if the unit is malfunctioned. This unit is easy to use without reading any manual making this unit even much more dangerous. It is because in the manual, the first icon is an exclaimation mark asking users to read all warnings or else death or serous injury could be resulted. Stay away from this unit. If this unit is malfunction and unattended at the time, I guess this unit may explode because of pressurized steam failed to escape.

NOT working! Fire alarm was triggered for whatever reason.. disappointed.
I was excited to receive this steamer, as I saw so many good reviews about it. Installation is not hard after reading the manual. It took a few minutes to heat up the water. In the manual, it said the it is ok that red light will be off now and then during the cleanning. However the lights constantly on and off, only 2-4 seconds interval. It turned out a lot of steam in the bathroom. and suddenly my smoke detecter was set off, and scared my 2 year old son. I had to close the bathroom door so the detector will not sense it. but after 30 minutes sweaty work, did not see any better becauase all surface is wet. have to use the paper towel to wipe it all.BTW, the sound is very loud. Not good for self and family members.I returned it. keep looking for good steam cleaner.

No pads, poor instructions
This machine is going back before I even try it. It had one small cleaning pad that didn't appear to attach to anything. Originally got it for floors, but it looks more like a wall paper remover.

Wagner 905 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer and Cleaner
The steam is not hot at all; I can put it directly on my skin and it is barely warm. This machine does not clean around the faucets or anything else for that matter. Very disappointed.

Did not work for me
Bought this to remove wallpaper. Put out steam, but but was not useful for the task. Ended up returning it. Not sure what this product is meant for

A BUST!
I had several projects for this steam cleaner. First, I wanted to clean some mildew off the slate walkway. I followed the directions; I sprayed, repeatedly; the mildew survived unscathed. Steam cleaner, ZERO. Then I tried to clean some grime on my daughter's car. I sprayed; the grime came off only after I thoroughly scrubbed it; perhaps the steam made it easier. Steam cleaner, a score of two (out of ten). I then turned to cleaning the bathroom grout (the primary purpose for the purchase). I sprayed, repeatedy; the grout did nothing -- absolutely no improvement. Steam cleaner, ZERO. My last task was to clean some stains on the carpet. I sprayed, repeatedly; I scrubbed with a white towel; next to nothing came up. Steam cleaner, ZERO. I wish I had had the success that the many positive reviewers enjoyed but that was not the case for me. This product is easily the most disappointing home owner's aid I have ever come across. Please do not buy it.

first amazon item i have ever returned
this thing is ridiculous. the steam it puts out is barely hot. it puts out a TON of water. It's useless for cleaning upholstery unless you want to soak your couch. I can't believe how many positive reviews it has. It's as though none of these people have stopped to consider whether spraying some cleaning solution and wiping with a cloth might be faster and easier than pointing a tepid steam wand at something for thirty seconds. this thing is a total waste of time and energy: there's no way that getting it out, filling it up, preheating it, and waiting for it to mist some dirt away is anything close to an efficient way to clean.

Good Little Steamer!
I have used this steamer 3 or 4 times now and am impressed with it when cleaning most bathroom surfaces (except the tub--didn't work too well there-doesn't cut through soap scum that well), most kitchen surfaces (didn't work well on my inside oven door-again, too much muck?), and carpet and upholstery (doesn't work well on stains, but freshens carpet and upholstery nicely!) I haven't tried the wall paper application, but expect to. I have found the attachments to be sturdy and quite adequate for average household cleaning. The unit heats up quickly and holds enough water to clean longer than I can (or care to). I find that the steam application leaves a nice, fresh scent--not a chemical one or perfumed one. I am chemically sensitive, so I avoid most cleansers on the market. This steamer is a nice addition to my household cleaning. No more itching!

I'm not certain if it works that well?
Out of the box I marveled at the construction of this product. All the plastic pieces were made of heavy plastic and the product did not seem cheap at all.My only problems:1- the instructions stated that a full tank of water would provide 45 min of steam. i only received 20 min of steam.2- if you hold down the trigger for more than a minute the steam will eventually stop and you have to wait 1-2 minutes for the steam to start up again.3- one of the reviews for this product said that it cleaned grout between tiles very well. i used the steamer on my kitchen counter grout and bathroom tile grout and i was not able to remove any stains (or restore the original color of the grout).I do not plan to return this item b/c I figure that I'll eventually need to use steam for something (i.e. clean my wife's jewelry, remove stains from cloth instead of using the washer,....)

Shoots mist but not steam
My unit does not make real steam so I am returning it. I purchased a refurb unit so maybe this unit is just defective and the purchaser before me had the same issue although another reviewer estimated his unit was only making 110 degree mist like mine does. I can put my hand 2 inches in front of the nozzle and leave it there the entire time the unit is running. I estimate the "steam" is in the 110 degree F range. It does make a nice well distributed mist. I want hot steam so I am buying a different brand unit.

Wagner 905, 1,500 watt on-demand Power Steamer
The first time I tried to use the steamer the connector button fell out. It's a small part but it is located in the steamer hose. A small area in the small print of the user manual states "The water container, heating element and hose are not serviceable"I called Wagner, Judy told me to pay postage and mail the heavy unit from California to Minneapolis, MN, that's half the value of the steamer. No thanks Wagner.

Didn't work for me...
I too purchased the Wagner steamer because of the reviews. I was looking for a steamer that I could use just for cleaning (not wallpaper removal). I had borrowed a hand-held steamer from my mother and remembered that it was a great way of cleaning without chemicals and really getting into the small corners that a towel/wipe couldn't reach.I was really disappointed with the pressure and heat of the steam. It barely could clean up surface dirt that was easily wiped down with a cloth and the steam was just barely warm (after heating up the unit for about 30minutes)I also found it really noisy. Not ideal for apartment living.I really wanted this machine to work well, but I found that a little elbow grease and a cloth work much better and I have returned it to Amazon for a refund.

piece of junk broke with first use
i purchased this thinking because it was a wagner it would be a great product like others of theirs i have used in the past - nozzle broke with first use - called the company they wanted proof of purchase - sent that in - 2 months later still no part to fix this - a waste of money and no customer service

Patience is key?
It took me a little bit to figure out the best attachment to use (they give you suggestions in the manual, but they don't cover all the things this baby can clean). The grout in our tile floor (in the high-traffic area) was FILTHY so I needed to use a lot of elbow grease. I used the steamer to get the hot hot water on the grout and then got down and scrubbed with a big brush. The results were instant and awesome.After that, I went and tested it on some dark spots that are --were-- on our white carpets. PERFECTO!I've only used it once, but I'm so excited about it. Got it for $80 and every penny was well spent.

I'M A STEAMER CONVERT!
I was skeptical at first about this machine. I read the pros/cons of others. It was an easy setup once I received it. IT'S GREAT! I've mopped my entire house with it and no "doggie odor" afterwards (I've got 2 dogs). Got the gook out of the door tracks instantly! Cleaned the marble shower and glass doors - no more soap scum! Cleaned the jets of the whirlpool tub - no more "orangish" gook! I've cleaned all the mirrors and glass doors - no streaks or watermarks! Cleaned the grout in two rooms back to white! Haven't tried it on the stainless steel in the kitchen - yet, or the oven. That's next! Also will try using this next time when I wash my motorcycle!! I highly recommend this product! I did buy a package of "rags" at the local hardware store to use while mopping. The only one supplied wasn't going to handle 1200 sq ft of tile!

Good for only wallpaper!
If you are planning to use this steamer other than wallpaper like those pictures show, this is not for you. Steam is so weak and not hot enough that I can almost put it on my finger...Only good thing is Amazon's easy returning process and that's why I gave 2 stars, instead of 1!

I am in love
This is some of the best money I have ever spent. I am in the process of preparing my house for sale and doing my prepatory cleaning. After 7 years in habitation with a 4 year old and a dog, there is grim in corners etc. This product has cut through the ick in no time and made my work so easy. I would recommend this to anyone. I previously tried the shark model and was disappointed, it would be fine for daily or weekly light cleaning, but not for that yearly(or so...) power clean. If you have rental properties or flip houses, this would also be very useful. The one caveat is if you have small children, be very careful. This looks like a toy to them with the bright color and wheels and could burn them very badly if they got a hold of it, Wagner might consider a safety lever on the steamer handle as a possible improvement on future models. Overall an excellent, well designed and exceptionally useful product. Whish I had had one of these when I was doing my last remodel!

Great deal
I love this steamer! Its great! I had a shrark steamer, like this one. I got it as a gift and I had for years and years. When it finally came time to get a new one I didn't want to spend all the money on the Shark. Plus the shark is much bigger and harder to lug around. Well I am just thrilled about this one! Its less tham 1/2 the price and does the job just as well... PLUS its so much easier to cart from one room to the next! Only takes a few min. to heat up and it VERY POWERFUL! I LOVE it!

Power Steamer
I provide the cleaning of mobile homes in a mobile home park when residents move out, the Wagner steamer has provided an easy solution to cleaning the stoves without alot of muscle. The Wagner steamer has already paid for itself in just a weeks time. Thank You Wagner..

Best thing ever!!
This steamer is the best thing since sliced bread!! I mainly got this so i could clean without using chemicals around my two year old son, it works like a charm. it heats up fast and cleans for a good amount of time. It is extremly easy to use and I have used it in every room of my house. Even when the tank is full its not heavy or clunky to move around. I would have bought one years ago if i knew house well it was going to work out.

Not what I expected
The steam is quite loud coming out of the attachment, but it's tolerable... My problem lies in that the machine doesn't produce very much force behind the steam; Cleaning grout in between my shower tiles, I had to take the brush attachment off the nozzle attachment and hold the steam nozzle directly on the tiles to get results. For a supposedly commercial quality machine, this is unacceptable.

I see steam but my unit doesn't seem to produce much heat
I notice as I accidentally put my hand on the area I had just cleaned and the was no heat. I don't mean very little heat I mean no heat I became curious and am know for doing things that most would consider unwise, (or just plain stupid) I put my hand closer and closer to the nozzle. Now I don't know how fast steam cools, and maybe I just got a lemon, but I could within a mere few inches and not feel heat, yet the amber light was off, indicating that all systems were ready (I even waited 20 min. after the light went off). If I went excruciatingly slow I could produce heat in the material I was trying to clean. I am not happy with this product, I get much hotter steam from my Iron.

when i push the button to spray the steam, lots of water drips out of it all over the floor. I tried to steam clean a couch and it just smeared the dirt. will be good for other things than carpeting or upholstry

Too noisy
its horrible how noisy it is. you can barely hear anything else than this device while in use, but is efficient in hard places, it cleans a lot where nothing else can do it.

Sadly, I'm returning my steamer, too.
Even using distilled water (because our water tends to have a lot of minerals) the steamer just ran out of...steam. No pressure. Certainly hot enough but if it won't come out in anything other than a "puff" doesn't help much. It'll be going back. :(

Terrible. Does not work.
After much research bought to help tackle our disgusting short sale purchase. It can't compete, at all, with a bottle of simple green or similar product and a little elbow grease. Stove? No. Grout? No. Crayons on walls? No. Scale on faucets? No.After it melted it's own cleaning brush tip, I boxed it back up and set it out for trash day. What waste of money and time. You have been warned!
