Wonderful Product!
|
I always read all of the reviews about products that I am interested in before making a purchase.In the beginning I was looking for a steam mop. Boy am I glad that I looked around first and did my homework. That is what led me to the Wagner Power Steamer and Cleaner.It does so much more than mop floors and the price is very comparable to the steam mops.When the product arrived, my husband got it out of the box and assembled it, (not that much to do,) and commented right away about the first class quality of the steamer.I love cleaning with it and find myself thinking what can I clean next, not to mention the fact that I am sanitizing at the same time!I highly recommend this product to everyone and you cannot beat Amazon's prices with the free S&H;!

Doesn't Do Much!!
|
Only benefit I have found is using on grout. Otherwise it doesn't do a good job on much of anything. It is easier for me to do by hand as compared to setting up this product. Don't reccommend at all.

Interesting gadet . . . .would have been better if it had actually worked
|
I needed this to remove wallpaper from two bathrooms in order to be able to paint them. This looked like the solution but it did little other than make a steamy mess on the walls and floor. The wall paper did not come off any easier than if I had used the scoring tool and some water with a sponge which is what I ended up using. In the kitchen, I used a recommendation from the local paint person at Lowes which was to paint right over it as long as there were not areas coming off and it looked great. If you wan this to remove wallpaper, you will likely be disappointed.

Works like a charm
|
I haven't used this lately, but every time I have it works well. I've used this to clean up old carpet padding stuck to subfloor, garage floor, removing wallpaper, sticky residue, bathroom tile, and maybe more. This provides a strong steam burst and is made for exactly what I've needed it for. A very worthy purchase.

Clean Machine

Great little cleaner, gets the job done! It is nice to know that I can sterilize any room in my house and not need cleaning products that are harmful to the environment. Needs to have a cord wrap and could use a bit more pressure. Other than that great little machine for all your cleaning needs.

Environment & health saver

Had checked out steamer products years ago but couldn't find one of decent quality to measure up to the advertising. Recently saw one on TV so thought I would try again. Started doing my homework & came up with this one. Best price & most versatile array of attachments. Specifically bought it to clean black mold out of shower(grout & caulk). Could not stand using the the toxic chemicals my wife was using. She was always using gloves & a mask. The Wagner Power steamer was like a dream. I let it heat up & then went to work. Amazing after five minutes I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Black stuff out & white showing up. Used the small nylon brushes for this job. I'm now a very smart man in my wife's book. She has used it on a variety of things & is glad the wallpaper attachment is there for future projects.Wagner makes a great steamer for a great price.

Great product!

I love the product and all the accessories that it comes with. Also, the pressure that steam comes out it's amazing. This is the perfect tool to greenly combat Beg-bugs and other vermin. Removing the grease from my gas stove was also very easy with this steamer. There is a minor issue that I do not like that it has to be refilled with water for extended use but I got to say that other steamers I have seen has the same issue and that's why I give it 5 stars for satisfaction and doing what it suppose to do.

Great For The Price
|
I needed a dry steam cleaner to steam some upholstery and carpet, and this seems okay for the job. Like some has said it does drip while steaming but it still drys up pretty fast. I haven't tested the temp during steaming but it does get hot and although the pressure is good i can't help but to wish for a little bit more pressure. I tried it on a deep fryer cover to remove the oil build up and now my deep fryer looks new again :). Although the name says its a cleaner its not, actually its just hot steam,not a vaccum or washer.The attachments are easy to use just clips on like a plug.

Operated half-heartedly on 1st try, didn't work at all on 2nd
|
The first time I used the steamer, its performance was spotty. The steam didn't always dispense when the trigger was pressed, and the steam mostly wasn't hot enough to really clean anything -- at the time I was trying to clean a shower with slightly mildewed/molded grout and caulk. Had extremely limited success. The second time I tried to use it, today, the steamer failed to work. Period. It steamed the water and the indicator light showed that the water had reached the right temperature to start steaming, but once the trigger was depressed, absolutely nothing happened. Started the whole process over, hoping it'd work, and nothing. So, so not worth the money - doesn't deliver as promised AT ALL.

Steamer forever!
|
This wagner 905 steamer is one of the BEST appliances I have EVER purchased. I have travertine tile throughout my house and it not honed, therefore dirt gets in the little holes easily. I love the look of it but I could not get some spots as clean as I wanted. I used the steamer's small brush and it has made such a difference, it is hard to believe. It takes a bit of time but steams so clean that is wonderful. THEN I thought people were exaggerating when they said they got spots off the sliding glass doors. I can tell you that I have used lots of cleaners on my sliders and never got all the mineral spots off. I used the Steamer...drag it slowly over the window/slider; I had to go over the sliders 3 times but the mineral spots came OFF!. It is a wonderful little appliance to have!!!

Waste of money and my time.

I really wanted to like the Wagner 905 steamer. I read all these great reviews and thought: this is it! My grout is dark with dirt that doesn't want to come out. I steamed my tile floor slow, fast, tried different heads...nothing worked. All it did was leave behind a watery mess. I tried using it on my glass shower doors? Nope. Didn't remove hard water spots. Maybe this is good for removing wallpaper, but I bought it for everything else, and at everything else, it sucked.The bristles on the small brush attachment bent permanently within the first minute of use. Also, it comes with so many (useless) attachments, and no where to store them all. It seems like there's cord everywhere and I was happy to send this right back to Amazon. I am shocked at the amount of positive reviews.

good for cleaning details.
|
Works well for cleaning grout. I used the same little brush to clean the tracks on my vinyl windows. They look brand new! So I started going crazy cleaning... Used the little brush to clean the baseboards in my kitchen. Removed kitchen grime like nobody's business. And even removed the paint off the woodwork. Oops! The window cleaning attachement, however, isn't worth it. I haven't yet tried the floor cleaner.

Love it!

Works way better than chemical cleaners on nearly everything. We've tried every sort of product to clean the gunk out of our front loading washer, but 5 minutes with this steamer and a cleaning cloth and it's sparkling again. I even find myself cleaning more when I have a bad cold because the steam makes me feel better. It's not the answer for black spots on the grout in the shower, but it did work wonderfully to soften the shower caulk so it could be easily removed and recaulked. It needs a carrying case. We lug everything around in the original box and it is a pain to carry that from floor to floor in the house. Still well worth it, but I'm hunting for something I can use as a carrying case to make this the perfect cleaning machine. It does drip a lot when the steam first builds up each time, so hold it over a drain, pull the trigger a few times to let it get rid of the excess water, then start cleaning once the steam is ready.

good for wallpaper
|
We used it to remove the worst wallpaper in America. Did our guest bathroom loaned it to a friend that ripped wallpaper out of her whole house with it and then we attacked our master bath with it and now our neighbor is using it his. I have no idea about the other uses for this thing but to remove wallpaper it helps the process greatly. We have treated this thing like crap and used it way past the recommended times/cycles with no regard for its operational life and it still works. We have gotten our money out of this thing over 3 years of abuse.

Great Steam

Primarily got this steamer to remove wallpaper. Did a great job. Have used it a few times now for general cleaning and it does very well. In comparing to other models this appears to be the best deal. You can spend a lot more $ and get a higher psi but I do not think it is worth it.

Handy Little Steamer!!
|
Used Mom's smaller steamer and was o.k. with results... so.. had to have one.. When I finally got to it, it was Swine Flu season in my house... cleaned the bathroom, kitchen, steamed the hardwood floors, and steamed the rug. All the areas that the kids live in!I have to say that it worked great, had pretty good steam time to get a good amount of the job done in each room.(mom's ran out after 3 min.). It has all the needed attachments. It's small and lightweight.

I got it for general cleaning. It's easy to use and makes it easy to clean everything at once. It squirts a little and I still have to wipe everything down and it doesn't last 45 minutes as the directions say, but it does get me to clean everything, which is a miracle in itself.It's big and you have to find someplace to put it, but it's worth the effort.

how bad is it? it's that bad!

I can't believe I'm in the minority here. I can't believe I purchased this item based on all you positive reviewers vastly outnumbering the negative ones. IN ANY EVENT THIS THING SUCKS. The little red buttons that hold the thing together ALL break off after a few MOMENTS of use, sending little tiny parts flying across your floor. It's the cheapest mechanism I can imagine. You finally figure out some way to stick it back together and it just falls apart again immediately. Must be some kind of joke?Even for the few minutes I had steam, the only attachment that does anything is the tiny brush. Just imagine yourself scrubbing your floor with a toothbrush, then when it's done, start all over with real cleaning equipment. But the red button connector fiasco is reason enough to stay away.I have returned it, for twice the shipping estimated by amazon.com. Hopefully they will remit the full amount but who knows.

Not Worth It

Tried it on shower grout that wasn't extremely dirty ... in one place it actually stained the grout. In the remainder it had no effect.Tried it on the porcelain coated grates on our Dacor range ... no effect.In my opinion, conventional cleaning techniques ... elbow grease and detergents ... work much better.I'm glad I purchased it at Costco ... it goes back today.

Extremely dissappointed
|
Do NOT believe all the wonderful reviews about this machine. It is absolutely useless. I read all the great things people are saying about this piece of trash and was eagerly awaiting for it to arrive to get some serious cleaning done. Trust me, you're much better off just using one of the small hand held steamers than this thing. It does NOT clean a damned thing. In fact, I held the unit withing 6 inches of my hand and only felt a little warm. Before I actually used it, I was concerned about sopping up all the residual water like I did with my hand-held unit, but, OMG, what a joke. There's no residual water. Hardly anything at all comes out. The towel attached to it just barely gets moist, let alone wet. I WILL be returning this junk. VERY, VERY DISSAPPOINTED. Yellow really is the appropriate color for this LEMON. Either I got a lemon, or, there's some underhanded marketing guys planting a bunch fake reviews here, either way I got hosed.

It set off my smoke alarm.
|
I bought mine mainly for cleaning my kitchen tiles. The first day I used it, I was a bit disappointed that it took a lot of scrubing to actually remove the grime. The second day I used it, it smoked and set off my fire alarm. I thought maybe that was a fluke but the third day I used it, it smoked enough to make the alarm go off so long that I had to pull it down and take the battery out. I'm returning it. I still haven't finished cleaning the kitchen tiles after 3x using it so that should give you an idea of how long it takes to actually scrub the grime off.I'm planning on buying either the McCulloch or Steamfast, which look pretty much just like the Wagner. Hopefully they won't smoke. I'd like to buy a better steamer but don't have $600 to spend on one right now.

Not a miracle worker!
|
Anyone who buys this has to understand that dirt does not just magically disappear with this item. And if your dirt is truly been there for awhile, you will have to at least pre-soak and when you do use the steam, you will have to carry a towel with you to mop up the dirty water.Considering its reviews, I am most decidedly disappointed. This machine ins NOT, IS NOT for terrazzo or Mexican tile. You will not be happy if you plan to use this on anything but an easy wash tile and in that case you probably don't need it. It is good for dust and for dusty areas that are hard to reach. Ditto picture frames.You will either have to get something better if you have true dirt. Also, the plastic parts break easily.

Not worth it
|
I purchased this steamer at Costco for $69 and feel I was ripped off. I tried clean bathroom tile, a bathtub and a basement floor. Steam was generated, by no real cleaning took place. Liquid Dawn and some hard scrubbing was much more effective. I think this appliance was designed by lawyers more concerned about product liability than real cleaning. Purchase at your own risk.

steam cleaner

I researched steamers for quite some time and I found most were cheap with bad reviews or they were several thousand dollars with great reviews. I stumbled on the Wagner during my research and looked over all of the details and decided to order one. I loved all the attachments and capabilities of the Wagner. I am absolutely impressed with this steamer. I have a lot of tiles in my house and it works wonderfully. It works great for sanitizing sinks and showers. Great purchase!

We have a 4x6 open tile shower. It's very hard to keep clean. Bought this specifically for cleaning the shower tiles and grout. It worked GREAT. Was fairly easy to do. A great product. Can't wait to try it on the gas barbeque grill. We also have wallpaper to remove in an upstairs bath. This should make it a piece of cake.

Wagner 905 review
|
I really liked using this product. I couldn't have stripped my wallpaper without it. I've used other steamers in the past to strip paper, and this is definitely hands down the best steamer I've used. So easy to put on attachments, very lightweight and moves easily when you need it to. I also used the mop attachment for our tile floor and liked it, the floor looked and felt very clean, without using all those harmful chemicals. Would recommend this product to anyone.

Outstanding wallpaper remover!
|
After a few days of torture removing old, poor-quality wallpaper, we purchased this product on Amazon. It comes with a wallpaper steamer attachment and a pretty long hose. It's a lot faster using steam - and on that basis alone we're giving the product 5 stars.The steamer comes with several more attachments designed for detail cleaning and floor cleaning. I'm a bit dubious about the steamer's ability to clean everyday items like one sees on those infomercials. I gave the steamer a try on a dirty shower and was less than impressed with the results - the old-fashioned way worked better.Nonetheless, as a steamer, this one gets the job done and was well worth the price in time saved.

Don't believe some of the reviews here but it is very good. This removed several pet stains fro our carpets that PROs cleaners left. It could not removed stains from dye but came pretty close - our cats love getting toys wet and dropping them on beige carpetIt did a good job removing wallpaper and my wife says it;s pretty good for cleaning bathroom tilesIt shoots scalding hot steam so if you have young kids or a teenager that might find it funny to spray pets maybe skip the purchase for a while

This thing is great! Our tile has never looked better. We have four boys and four cats, and it's a challenge to keep the floor clean. Once I got the grout clean, the maintenance has been so easy. Just vacuum the floors and then go over them with the steamer. They look great!

Very good steamer
|
I bought this steamer in the middle of a suspected infestation of bedbugs (later I discovered it was a false alarm), so I needed a machine that was powerful enough to steam every corner of my 1-bedroom, without spending a fortune.The Wagner 905 does the job perfectly. The only (minor) inconvenient is that, every time you start steaming, some water comes out, so you'd better start from a hard surface or have a plastic bag handy.Besides that, it's perfect. Enough power, enough steam, quick to refill and warm up.

this is a great tool for getting thing clean and sanitized. it made our grout look like new, and believe me it was pretty trashed! It is nice because you don't need to use harsh chemicals, and uses very minimal water. 48 oz last about a hour. the trick is to let the steam do the work, let it soak in then brush. The quality of the unit is OK, that is why it gets 4 stars. We already have replaced the nozzle, not too bad $2.75 we bought extras at that price. The floor brush is a little weak as well, a little more expensive,around $13.00 I think my wife was pushing on it a little too hard. The nylon brushes wear out pretty fast,that is a wear and tear item and if you are considering this unit you should stock up on replacements.the Wagner web site is fairly useful for ordering these things. The only thing I had to call for was the floor brush. They were very friendly.

Great way to clean stuff you never thought possible
|
My wife and I bought this to clean our floors and shower, quickly found out all the other stuff it was great at cleaning. Frankly, I don't know how I ever cleaned a toiled without this thing! Easy, quick and super sanitary. What I don't understand is why everyone on the planet has a vacumn cleaner but just about no one I've met has one of these. Definitely a must for anyone who a) likes keeping a clean home but b) would rather not work too hard at it. Seriously, just buy this thing. you won't be diasappointed.

More bang for your buck!
|
I feel more than qualified to write this review because this is in fact my fifth steam cleaner!!! The older one gets, the more one has a genuine appreciation for steam cleaning. It saves time, money and it easy on the joints! There is no better way to GO GREEN! In my humble opinion steam cleaning is superior to all other methods of cleaning...the results consistently validate this statement. Yes, seeing is believing!I have spent significantly more money on my other steam cleaners. By far, the Wagner Spray Tech 282004 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer out performs my previous purchases!!! Talk about more bang for the buck!My daughter bought this machine because of my experience with it and is as pleased with its performance as I am!Mrs. Clean recommends purchasing this machine.Note: Get in the habit of switching off the unit when not in use. Respect this machine and it will serve you well!

a bit shoddy

I worked pretty well for a small machine, but the accessories (brushes, window cleaner etc) started to come apart. I decided to send it back and but the McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner which was a little bit more expensive- When I opened the MuCulloch, guess what???It is EXACTLY the same machine as the Wagner, just a different label on it!! They are probably made by the same company in China and the just brand them differently. Too soon to tell if the accessories are as crappy, but I wam not confident!!

Bad job made easy
|
The best tool I've ever bought in terms of its time savings over alternative products. I tried chemical strippers (sprays, gels) first. They were a nightmare. This steamer made short work of a job that was taking many hours longer than it should have, and left my walls in much better condition than strippers. Only used it for wallpaper so far, but tested the jet nozzle and was impressed by the steam pressure. Only improvement would be a water separator and reclaim system to prevent dripping from condensate buildup in the hose.

This steamer throws out too much water! Attempted to use on windows and had to mop the excess water from everywhere! When there is that much water present, the steam doesn't work. I let the steamer heat longer than the indicator light, that didn't help. I suspended the hose after use to rid of any excess water in the hose, that didn't help. All it does is throw alot of water with a little steam. The steam on my iron could do a better job. I was REALLY disappointed when attempted to use in the bathroom, better off using a spray bottle. In the kitchen, it didn't even loosen small spills except where I let the water sit. I can't imagine trying to use to remove wallpaper (which is one of the main reasons I purchased). I have attempted to work with Wagner, but have reached a wall there. I'm not new to cannister steam cleaners. I have used 3 different ones, loved them, so decided to splurge and get my own. Thought the Wagner name would make it a good purchase, my mistake. Very disappointed!!

We recently purchased a home that had vinyl tile glued over the hardwood floor in the kitchen. I thought it might be worth it to attempt a removal of the tile before we ripped up everything. Pulling up the tiles by hand is very difficult. I researched the project online and discovered a suggestion to steam up the tiles using this machine.Great success. It took a couple hours to remove all the tile. No major mess or broken tiles. Now to find the perfect nontoxic glue remover.

Great steamer. No regrets.

Works well on wall paper, linoleum and even some floor tile. Fun to use it to clean windows with the squeegee attachment. It is not very loud, regardless of what others say. Yes, the attachments are plastic and you must not use a lot of force on them or you will break them. The switch in the trigger really distinguishes this model from the cheaper one and it is well worth it. Without the switch, you get too much water on the wall and the dry-wall blisters. The wallpaper comes off easily but the drywall must be sanded and spackled before it can be painted. How do I know that ?

Not Effective Cleaner
|
I am baffled as to how this product received so many 5 star reviews. I tried cleaning a stove top, bathroom tile, a stainless steel sink and a greasy cupboard door, and the steam cleaner didn't do any better than a quick wipe with a wet cloth. Either the steam isn't hot enough, or the spray isn't strong enough, or steam-cleaning in general just isn't that effective.

I am ready to send this product back. While the machine does create steam it does little to clean. There is not enough pressure of steam coming out to really benefit the use of this tool.

Will not last beyond the 1 year Warranty

I bought this steamer a year and a half ago returned it in the first year for repairs, and just threw it away (beyond the 1 year warranty). I was not a heavy user, I used it apx. once every 3 months. As for the quality of the work it has trouble breaking up grease off the stove, will work on minor cleaning needs. Buy at your own risk.

fine for light steam - not good for cleaning
|
I borrowed this from my brother in law who bought it at Costco. He liked it for cleaning his tile floor. But I tried it around the bathroom and kitchen. It did little more than a good product and a brush. The steam is ever where and you cannot see a thing you are doing. If you are using it on mold it is a wash because you will be putting so much moisture back in the room. It only gives a gentle steam - my quality pressing iron has more pressure. It would be fine for removing wall paper but not enough pressure to blast dirt out. It should not be marketed for more that the wall paper remover it was designed to be. Wagner is a panting product manufacture. it is a cute little yellow design but lacks a place to store or wrap the long cord.

Not only did they lose track of my packages (lost in Arizona for 5 days) after asking for expedited shipping. They did refund the shipping, but once the packages arrived (late for use in office party) they were inedible due to temperature changes. Their office could not be reached by phone but through email they agreed to refund but that did not help that we were without a promotional item on the day it was needed.

A pediatrician's take
|
In my job as a pediatrician, I have given general counseling to families going through divorce and separation for several years, and thought that I was fairly savvy about handling these situation. However with my recent separation from my children's father, I have been shocked at how difficult even little decisions are about what to say or not say to the kids, leaving me almost paralyzed at times. This book has been a big help in laying out the issues and clarifying what is really in the kids' best interest, as opposed to the parents'. Realizing that the kids don't want or need or understand long-winded explanations makes it easier for me to talk to them about the situtaion; and being clear in my own mind on what is grown-up business vs kid business I'm hoping will help me to handle the next difficult months (and probably years) with more grace and integrity. It's an easy read with great cartoons too! Thanks, Dr. Wolf!

LIAR!!
|
This man wrote a book of lies about MY life. I would appreciate it if you would stop selling it. I can prove what I am saying. He is in Israel and I could not offerd to fight him via the Hague convention because it would have cost over $20,000.00. With three kids in college that was the priority - so he just sits in Israel and Lies! THE CHILDREN WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM!

such affection conveyed in the drawings!
|
I'm not a dog/canine person but Marilyn's wolf father and cub are draw with such affection, they convey joy and kindness what's not hinted at all in the writing! The illustrations tell their own story, placing this book high on the bedtime-read bed-shelf. The text has just enough repetition to combine the best of a sing-along song without being insulting to the reader. A pure delight!

Operations & Logistics theses papers
|
Bought this book for my MBA program. Book has quality content on subject matter. But who cares about quality of content if book is not reader friendly? Book is written in a very impersonal way and in passive tenses, not reader friendly. The book feels like a compilation of various thesis and academic papers meant for publication in a professional journal. Though having a colorful hardback, inside editing is very much formatted like school term / academic papers - everything is in black. I get the impresssion that no real native english speaking person reviewed this book or is remotely associated with writing this book--the french co-author may have edited the book.I did not find reading this book pleasurable - has a very academic feel. I struggled with reading it, rephrasing many of the sentences to active form to ease understanding. Overall, the book needs serious gramatical review.

Say what?
|
This book reads like an electrical engineering nightmare. Author writes in impersonal way which makes the material 10X as hard as to understand as it should be. A very frustrating and non-exciting read.put some more passion into your writing.Don't make it more complicated than it should be

Not a bad global operations textbook
|
I used this book for a global operations class. It contains both text and cases in one book. However, cases in some chapters do not directly relate to the content presenting in those chapters. Moreover, some cases are really difficult to read and understand the context of the case for analysis. However, there are some good HBS cases.

Great chapter book - just wish there had been more in the series
|
Saying my daughter loves CyberChase is an understatement. She is a walking salesperson for the show. Every friend gets asked if they watch. She has a number of episodes on DVD that get watched all the time.So this book was going to be hard not to love. It lives up to the writing on the show. She has read it three or four times since she got it for her birthday in late October.Just wish there had been more titles. By the way, I have no idea why one of the resellers was selling this book, which only came out in paperback, for $1300. It's good, but not that good.

Good-spirited
|
These are energetic and straight-forward renditions of medieval tunes from England, Italy, France and beyond. The arrangements are simple and are played on authentically constructed instruments, for a sound that is sweet and without pretension. The voices are perhaps not as nuanced as one might wish, but they work well with the spare instrumentation, for an over-all effect of effortless and accomplished musicianship. Some mediveal performers push the "cheery lilt" too far, becoming almost frenetic. The pace seems right here--good-spirited and enjoyable.

Don't buy this game
|
If I could, I'd rate this game a zero. I've purchased it twice from Amazon, since this seems to be the only place I could get it. My daughter was desperate to play it.Both times I bought the game, it didn't work. It looks like the cd is flawed, since there seems to be some sort of bubble in it where the two sides are separating inside. I'm guessing it must be a manufacturing defect, since it occurred on both cds. I wondered if the game had been recalled or something, since I couldn't find it in any stores around here. Maybe Amazon hadn't got the memo?

I wish I could review this product

This was the second copy of Ty 3 that I have purchased. The first one I purchased was a Christmas present. When my grandson tried the game, it would not load. I tried the game on my system and the same thing. I returned that game and bought my second one here at Amazon. This second game was exactly the same so it was returned also. My grandsons have the first and second version of this game and were looking forward to Ty 3. I will not be buying it for a third time!

Very funny stuff. But. The sound is terrible. Only the laugh track is audible 100% of the time. If you are hard of hearing, make sure you can amplify the sound. The comedians on this disk are terrific and funny and worth watching.

Tax write off?

I loved this TV when I got it. Thirteen days after the warranty expired, the lamp burned out. I called customer service in Huntsville, AL and they agreed to extend the warranty to cover the lamp replacement. I was impressed enough to overlook the fact that the 'authorized service center' took two weeks to replace the lamp and did not turn off the "replace lamp" message when the TV is turned on. A few months after the extended warranty expired, I got the infamous "blue streak". So far it is not that objectionable most of the time but I understand it just gets worse. I have two options; sell it to someone for a few hundred bucks or give it to Goodwill.What is a reasonable value to claim for the charitable contribution since some of you have gone that route? This 3yr old TV is complete junk from my point of view, but short of selling it, I do not know how to value this.

Last Zenith Ever
|
Same problem. I have had my Zenith for about 18 months. 2 large yellow spots have appeared and are getting bigger. I contacted Zenith and they are unwilling to do anything about this even though it is an obvious design flaw. The TV is now worthless and I'll be putting it out on the street for the trash collectors to come pick up.I've had Sony products for years with never a problem. This is my last Zenith or LG product.

Junk-Do NOT Buy
|
These sets look stunning in the store, then you get them home and after 2000 to 3000 hours, or sooner the Blue and Yellow spots appear. No sir, not just a $300.00 bulb, or convergence, THE WHOLE LIGHT ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED-- TO THE TUNE OF $1,500 TO $1,800. Did you buy insurance, if so, and you have children, you still will be replacing the Light engine every year-- so after three years, If you bought that much insurance, your on your own. Zenith has been bought by LG, and they don't want to hear about it. BUYER BEWARE!

Great Buy!
|
I had alot of time to research TV's. We just built an additionthat will serve as a media/rec room. I wanted to buy a tv that we could surf the internet and play video games on without worrying about burn in. The picture quality is just as good as the Sony and Panasonic and is 2" bigger. It is very stylish. The pictures dont do it justice. You can't see the front speakers like in the pics. I could not find a picture of the matching stand anywhere online, but ordered it any way. The stand is just as stylish. It has 2 heavy glass shelves for components that are open and do not have doors. The TV only takes 15-20 secs to turn on. My kids won't let me near it. They have been playing Xbox on it non stop. The built in speakers are very good. I purchased mine for $2,499 right here on Amazon. $1000 cheaper than Bestbuy. It goes on sale periodically. I recommend waiting for such a sale. It was delivered in perfect condition.

WARNING: DO NOT BUY ZENITH !!!
|
Prior to buying the TV we had a 27" CRT TV that lasted 19 years. So we decided to buy a new TV since it was getting old. So in 1/17/2004 we bought a 40" Projection TV (R40W46) with a 2 years extended warranty. The TV has been performing great and we have been very happy with it until just last week when we noticed "blue shadows" all over the screen.After looking over the manual and adjusting the convergence, no success.To fix this TV outside of its warranty will cost over $1,000 dollars, and with prices on TV's dropping it makes no sense to send it in for repair. It has basically become a disposable TV. We are very disappointed that our TV has only lasted 3 years. I'm sending it to Goodwill.I'm very disappointed that Zenith will not stand behind their products. My only mistake was not researching Zenith TVs prior to buying since I had full faith in the brand.I found other people on the internet with the same exact problem !!I'm sorry to say this was my last Zenith TV.

Replacement TV the same as the first
|
After three repairs on my first TV, Zenith agreed to replace several months later and many phone calls later. The new TV is now having the same problems as the first with addition of a nice blue spot on the screen. This is the worst product that I've ever purchased. Too bad its also one of the most expensive. Over the year that I've owned this product. I've been able to watch the TV less than 40% of the time.

zenith /lg/ who is it?
|
I purchased this tv. I had it less than a year and the power supply board went out. Warranty fixed it. Before the year was up on the warranty I tried to purchase a extended warranty. Zenith denied it 2 days late. Six weeks later the same power supply board went out. Zenith paid for the board but I had to pay labor. Eight weeks later the blue streaks started. At first not much, then all over the TV. $3,000.00 for a piece of junk.

The blue's
|
This "LCD" is a hunk of junk. Along with everyone else, my screen is also slowly being replaced by a large blue stripe. I will never purchase another Zenith product again, especially considering how much I paid for it. My "3 year" bulb didn't last that long and was expensive to replace. On the other hand, my Sony 57" XBR rear projection is still working perfectly after 8 years and hasn't required any service at all. I'm going with Sony next time.

Never ever purchase this TV or deal with Zenith
|
D52WLCD worked well for 12 months. Then 3 year bulb burned out. Then blue spots started growing across screen. Zenith will not repair or refund, after 12 months its your problem. It cost more to fix than to buy comparable new one. Parts take 3-4 months to obtain and are not Zenith any longer. See other reviews to recognize this is a common problem.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS TV **updated post**
|
I have had this Zenith model for over a year now and have been happy with it up until now. Several weeks ago, the picture developed a blue streak about the size of my forearm. I contacted an authorized Zenith service center and found out the problem is not uncommon. The part to repair has to be replaced in its entirety and costs over $1600. I verified this was the same story at two different service centers. I contacted Zenith to raise a stink and THEY WILL NOT stand behind the product once the warranty expires. So consider this a warning !!!!

I have had the same problem as the other reviewers. After 1 1/2 years, developed blue spots in corners and now a big yellow blotch in the center. Repair center wants $1800 to fix.

It was great while it lasted

This was my first big screen TV. I was very pleased with it, while it lasted. 15 months after I bought, it died. The repair shop said it will cost at least $1200 to fix it and even after that, it may not work.

Do not buy this item!
|
This TV has design flaws. I've had mine in the shop twice now for a month because it never turns on (see other reviews). I can't wait to get rid of it (either sell it when it's working or take it to the dump). Be aware that Zenith is now owned by Korean electronics company LG so if you want customer service look elsewhere.

Highly recommended and completely absorbing
|
Really 4 1/2 stars...This book weaves together history and one man's interesting journey following the historic Nez Perce Trail established during their courageous 1877 retreat towards Montana and then Canada. Stadius carefully studied McWhorter's notes and adds a few interesting details and quotes overlooked by other historians. My only complaints are 1) the editing could have been a little better; and 2) Stadius misstates Crazy Horse's death date by one day too early and wrongly states that an Indian policeman stabbed him with a bayonet. These observations aside, this book was very touching (part history and part human interest) and I highly recommend it.

Oh, So Bad.
|
If you're looking for world's worst music video, this is it. My husband and I made it through about twenty minutes of blue plasma-like light, an attempt at an artsy-blurry picture of someone practicing Yoga, scenery from some unidentified place, some Chinese words, and then the whole boring thing started again with a different Yoga posture (not to be practiced by the viewer -- just for atmosphere), different scenery, more blue plasma, and more Chinese words. My husband finally fast-forwarded through about an hour's worth of this stuff before we kicked the DVD out and returned it.If you're buying this for the music, you'll be sorely (as in "ouch") disappointed. It isn't even New Age. It's just bad. Annoyingly bad.There is nothing balancing about Balance. It isn't pretty. It isn't appealing. It doesn't even give you anything to sit back and stare at because the visuals do not blend together and the music is so irritating.Don't bother. Take a walk or sit in the yard instead.

THIS IS THE BAND'S MOST RECENT SINGLE. AND, NOT SUPRISINGLY, ANOTHER MASTERPIECE! THIS SONG, WHICH WAS FOR THE 1ST TOMB RAIDER MOVIE'S SOUNDTRACK, REALLY ROCKS. FOR ALL FANS OF U2, THIS IS A GREAT SONG. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE BAND'S MOST RECENT ALBUM, ''ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND''.

this game, even though there are a few bugs that need to be addressed in the multi-player is phenominal! racing is tight and furious on the ovals. im still not sure about the road courses but over all i give this game a 9 out of 10, and give it a "must own" rating for fans of dirt track racing!

It's a lens filter that works.
|
It works for my purposes. It protects my lens without causing distortion to my images. Has the added bonus of filtering UV rays. Has threading on both sides of the filter so you can mount additional filters onto it. If I had the cash, I'd probably get a better Hoya filter, but for my current needs, this fits just fine.

Looking for something different
|
I am an avid reader of anything related to France. A connoisseur of most everything French. So I had high expectations of this book to discuss French travel, culture and wine.Unfortunately, the book ended up being a deeply personal narrative of a trip. It read most like a diary. This is something I definitely wished I had known before purchasing this book.I had anticipated and hoped for a book which delved into wine and the true culture of France and instead ended up reading the story of this trip. And I know that each person has their own personal ideas behind what others may be thinking and what their actions indicate, but its clear that sometimes the writer sort of missed the mark.This book is best placed in the biography section of a bookstore.Overall, this very short book left me a bit wanting.
