1 | Removing CD backing mars book | The CD is in a plastic envelope with a weak adhesive (detachable) to a square of glossy paper, which is in turn glued to the back endpaper. Although the CD and its plastic envelope may be removed, an unattractive scrap of backing paper remains glued to the endpaper, and can not be removed from the endpaper without tearing. | positive |
1 | Very nice! | This is the perfect tool for you if you want to avoid sounding like you have a 100 word vocabulary! :DIt is also very well bound, and looks stunning on a shelf. Your friends will be very impressed when they see it. | positive |
0 | Content great; binding cheap. | This, with the Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged, is the authoritative academic reference dictionary and it shows. The definitions are more than glosses; they accurately describe the word and provide context. However, the binding detracts from the seriousness of the dictionary. It's cheap. What is more, I ordered a new volume but the cover had scrapes under the dust jacket. I won't send it back but I'm not happy with it.This next comment is not about the product per se: the shipping was horrible. It should have arrived on April 28th, from Prime 2 day shipping. It arrived on April 30th. It was sent FedEx instead of UPS and the tracking was sparse. This makes the scrape on the cover less tolerable.Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition | negative |
0 | too bad it doesn't work for ipod or itouch | a fine dictionary indeed (I downloaded it on my pc with the Kindle for PC application) but too bad that I can't download it to my itouch... strange, since other dictionaries (like Oxfords ones) can be installed without any problem on an ipod. | negative |
1 | Reasonable Price, Comes with CD | Since my M Webster's was a hand-me-down from big sis since college days, I thought it was time to update. That, and because my on-line class specified this 11th Edition of MW's Collegiate Dictionary. Didn't find much difference from what seems to be the 1st Edition (copyright 1981) but I'm not going to compare it word for word. Price on Amazon was best I could find. Again, tax free & no shipping (w/ Super Saver) a plus+++. | positive |
1 | Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary | This is at least the fourth edition of this dictionary that I've purchased. These have been so satisfactory that I purchased this one as a graduation gift for a friend's daughter and had you send it directly to her. | positive |
1 | Webster's Dictionary | Excellent dictionary for a high school student. I bought it as a gift forr my nephew's Middle School graduation. I received the 7th edition for my graduation many years ago, that dictionary has served me well hopefully this one will be of equal usefullness. | positive |
1 | Dictionary for my wife | I purchased this dictionary for my wife and she loves it. I also purchasaed one for my mother-in-law. The book is used daily and has all the information in it that you would want. | positive |
1 | Excellent Dictionary | Just what I needed for my desk at work. It's hard bound so it will handle a lot of use. | positive |
0 | A problem on the Kindle Fire | I had hoped to use this dictionary to look up words. But it doesn't let you search for words, only locations.. So it doesn't really function as a stand alone dictionary. Had I known I would not have bought it. | negative |
0 | A pointless purchase | As a dictionary it is virtually useless. One cannot look up words by typing them into a search engine, but must leaf through as though it were a printed edition. It doesn't even work that well; the user must make a guess as to the page number of the desired word. There are no tabs identifying where initial letters begin. Offering this as a dictionary comes pretty close to fraud since it cannot be used for the purpose intended. | negative |
0 | Kindle version horribly Insufficient | I downloaded it and found it horribly insufficient: the dictionary is worse than the OED which comes standard with the kindle, and the thesaurus is sparse and offers only a handful of synonyms for each entry. And it often has synonyms for only one definition of a given word, and as we know English has many, many different meanings attached to a single spelling. Very disappointing; I will return it now. | negative |
0 | Kindle version is heavily abridged | The print dictionary contains extensive grammar notes at the beginning and end, as well as more detailed word entries. Not only that, but the search - which would be the only redeeming feature - is utterly useless. For example, it returned the word "Bazaar" when I searched for the acronym AAR.DON'T BUY IT!Merriam Webster, this is a disgrace. The next time you release a dictionary on Kindle, either release the entire dictionary or clearly mark it abridged. | negative |
0 | Merriam -Webster's Collegiate Dictionary | I recent perchased this dictionary and found it is almost impossible to read. I then had to get a magnifying glass to see the smallest print letters I had ever seen. Everyone has this problem in my house not just people who wear eyeglasses. I think this is a huge drawback that I have seen. So I don't know if the definitions are good or not yet. I think I will have to get a paperback and try my luck with a less heavy book to carry around as well. | negative |
1 | Amazing | This monstrosity of a dictionary weighs 3 lbs but for a good reason. It's the most comprehensive book I've ever seen, I haven't to date come across a word that hasn't been in it and the definitions are very articulate. The book even includes several pages explaining all the abbreviations and how to interpret the pronunciations. By far the best dictionary I've ever come across and worth it to someone looking for their first and last dictionary in this life time. | positive |
0 | Mirriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. | For me it was cumbersome and so difficult to find words that I deleted it. I couldn't get it to go straight to the word I wanted and all the looking was not worth the time I spent. | negative |
0 | Navigation difficulty | Seems extremely difficult to go right to a word you wish to study. Or even to the section where one might find the word according to spelling. Maybe I missed the road but I saw no signs. | negative |
0 | Not on android!!! | Bought this to put on my android phone. Bad move. Looking up words doesn't work. It does a text string search and comes up with partial definitions of other words. Works great on my Kindle but not on my phone.My bad, it is only for Kindles not tablets or phones. | negative |
1 | yes! | This Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary is the ultimate dictionary for your learning needs. Let's be honest, most of us go through the day having to use simple easy to grasp words because that's how we communicate with most people. Well this dictionary can expand your vocabulary considerably. It even expands MY vocabulary, and when it comes to accepting things I'm about as stubborn as a mule, I tell ya! So I highly recommend you purchase this version of Merriam-Webster's dictionary. There's plenty of varities but this one... this is the one! | positive |
0 | the maker fog ware will rip you off | purchased this product in 2011 and found the maker unwilling to re-validate your license code when reinstalling after system crash! | negative |
0 | Merriam-webster's | Needs work, thought that should have a clear search bar. Hard to use for class. Do not recommend for college students | negative |
0 | Please be aware that the stars shown here does not apply to the kindle version | In light of the other comments (esp. those of 1 star) about the kindle edition, the stars shown here are misleading to those of us who are really interested in the kindle edition of the dictionary, which has been found to be markedly different from the printed paper edition.My 1 star comment here is only trying to balance out the misleading rating shown here. | negative |
0 | Heard of the Internet, anybody? | I would only pay money for this if the dictionary automatically updated for every edition--at no extra cost. If that were the case, I could see myself spending $10 to have an essentially free resource in a convenient new format. Otherwise, forget it. | negative |
1 | Great and Fast shipping | The book has helped out a lot. Fast service and it was sent to a prison in California so everything was good on that end. Thank you | positive |
0 | funky thumb-index tabs | I found the books placement of tabs made them almost useless. I know why Merriam-Webster doesn't advertise the fact that there is a thumb-index. I was told that they started using an automated system in 1978 because it was cheaper. I guess you get what you pay for, a cheap dictionary. I say if you are going to insert thumb-index tabs put them in the right place... at the start of the letter being indicated, not somewhere in the middle. What's that all about? | negative |
1 | My Mother's dictionary. | My Mother loves her new dictionary. She does crossword puzzles. She wore out her last dictionary. Thanks Amazon, for making it easy. | positive |
1 | 37 Years Later | I needed it. My original Collegiate was a first edition (1974) with the back worn off of it. This time, I'll keep the jacket. The only thing missing in the eleventh edition are those heavy bond "Pronunciation Symbols" pages in the very front and the very back (now on page 40a). | positive |
1 | Reviewer Error | The previous reviewer mentions that this particular Edition includes a CD-Rom but it does not. There is an Edition that does have the CD-Rom but it is under a different description. There is a link above these comments that will take you to that site. | positive |
0 | Kindle edition for iPad | The only way to search this dictionary is by location. Now you would think that "location" would include typing a letter or letters! However, what it means is typing in a numerical value that is somewhere between zero and a very big number! There is a slide-bar option that gets you "close" and by that I mean maybe within the first letter. This makes this version very difficult to find the word you are looking for, which makes this almost unusable. I feel I just wasted a good bit of cash! | negative |
0 | Not helpful at learning and retaining words, absolutely nothing compared to the Oxford Dictionary | Do yourself a favor and get the Oxford Dictionary instead. Will be much easier to actually remember new words, this one does a poor job of creating any kind of image in your mind to associate with the word. Also, mostly vague definitions. | negative |
0 | Merriam-Webster' Collegiate Dictionary | It is ok I had some difficulty in finding something's I was looking for. It would be nice if they had a Easter way to look up what your looking for. It took me to long. Sorry. | negative |
0 | Satanic Bible | The most detrimental book in existence and Satanic by, ironically, definition.Language is the most influential tool in mind control. Language is the external expression of reality as a personal paradigm and supplanting one's language into another is to manipulate the person into experiencing only what you allow.Looking up the definition of a word is like unto sitting in a mass being given in a language foreign to you and being denied the opportunity to experience the Bible yourself. It is dogmatic, outdated and laughableThe dictionary is the bible of the spineless communicator.The most empowering moment one can experience is to use a word "incorrectly" in a sentence, be corrected, and not care. That is enlightenment. That is transcendence. That is the epitome of the phrase "ignorance is bliss" because ignorance is not the state of unknowing but of truly living the truth of your own reality (these concepts, truth and reality, obviously not being one in the same.) | negative |
0 | The Big Lie | I was very disappointed with this order. I paid the extra money for the book to insure I got the CD ROM for my daughter but did not receive it. I will never order from amazon again. | negative |
1 | DICTIONARY | It works for me and it would be even greater if it was in a large print for those of us who need this feature. | positive |
0 | misrepresented | The description said that the dictionary included a cd with a one-year subscription to the on-line dictionary, the on-line thesaurus & an on-line Spanish-English dictionary. This is simply not true.I brought this issue to Amazon's attention. Last year I purchased a Webster Dictionary from Amazon with the full set of info. Apparently, this dictionary is a newer edition, but Amazon used the old dictionary description for this edition & the new edition does not contain the full set of info. At first we thought it was a shipping problem, but after receiving three incomplete orders from three different vendors on Amazon, Amazon realized their error. Since the dictionary code for the new edition dictionary is the same regardless of vendor, the escription is incorrect for all vendors. Hopefully this issue has been corrected, but it was too late for me. | negative |
0 | Unusable in HP WebOS "app" | I have the Kindle App for my HP Touchpad. I purchased and downloaded this dictionary. When I initially opened the dictionary I thought my device had "frozen". Now I believe it took so long to load that it only appeared that way.It is unusable. Each page loads one-at-a-time and very slowly. The A-Z index does not work and, if I search for a word, it takes so long that I've never managed to complete it.I think this might be great for a Kindle, but think carefully before purchasing it for other devices with Kindle "apps".I will check to see if I can get a refund. | negative |
1 | It's a great dictionary, but | As always, Merriam-Webster dictionaries are good; they are what they are and anybody ordering one should know exactly what to expect. Contents are five star for the price - this isn't the OED. The reason for the one star deduction is that the open side page ends are solid. There is no indication where, say, the "M"'s or "Q"'s start. One must leaf through the pages and look at the headings. If I had known about this fact, I would have ordered a more expensive version. | positive |
0 | Don't buy for Kindle PC until it has a search feature. | This product is USELESS on Kindle for PC as it is. No way to search for a word. No index. | negative |
1 | Dictionary - Essential in the house | This is a wonderful item for any household to have to increase knowledge and settle conflicts, if you know what I mean. My dictionary has been the final "word" when disagreements arise. This one is a good edition. | positive |
0 | Misrepresentation | The dictionary was described as having a Kivar binding with jacket, hardcover, but it had a soft cover. I had to pay for shipping both ways. This was an irritating experience. | negative |
0 | Collegiate | The type is too small. I can't read it. Maybe a college student can.If you are over 40, pass on it. | negative |
0 | Incomplete description | This edition of Webester's Collegiate Dictionary "book only" does not have alphabet tabs. Amazon's description does not specify that it does have tabs ---- no is there anything about tabs on the edition with the CD Rom. Befor ordering I called customer service and the person who took my call could not give me an answer regarding alphabetic tabs --- I took a chance and ordered, both the customer service rep and I assumed that all distciontary's had the tabs. Beyond the failure to describe the book fully and the inability of the customer service representative to find the information when questioned the book arrived promptly and in good condition. I | negative |
0 | worthless | this does not include any words that arent in the standere kindle dictionary. like i stated in the title it is worthless | negative |
0 | surely you are joking | I ordered the item in your communication except with a CD included. The CD never showed up. You then sent a replacement with exactly the same result. After I called Amazon I was informed that you were out of the advertised item. I was then informed via email, to which no reply was allowed, twice, that I would be charged for the item and its replacement I can see that we will be having a battle royal with the credit card company as there is no way on God's green earth that I will pay anything for such absolutely lousy customer service.Richard F. O'Brien | negative |
0 | missing dictionary | I wouldn't know what the dictionary I ordered is like because I haven't gotten it yet. I didn't order it for overnight, that was my mistake! Seconds, after I ordered it, I emailed the vendor to order it for overnight. I didn't get a response until a few days later. I needed it a month ago. I still have not received it. My post office says they delivered it, but they do not have an address they delivered it to. I emailed the vendor whom I ordered the dictionary from and I've yet to receive an email from anyone. Needless to say, I'm not very happy with my experience with Amazon.com! | negative |
1 | Another more than pleasing experience ! | Everytime I order from Amazon I am pleased. I ordered this Dictionary for my Mother and she is very happy with my selection.It's exactly what she wanted. The order arrived on time and in excellent condition, as alwaysThank You. | positive |
1 | red spots | Sides of the book are covered with red spots.Please see the picture. I'm not sure it's just this one I got or intentionally made like this.I'm not very comfortable looking at a book like this. I like clean ones. | positive |
1 | Amazon's usual excellent service and price | Ordering was a breeze, received the book quickly and without fuss, everything about this transaction was very good. | positive |
0 | Horrible | Why can't I just search a word have to look through the whole damn book. Do not buy. Hard cover dictionary is easier then using this | negative |
0 | it is not a complete dictionary you are better off with google | save your money it is no better than the default kindle dictionary. it fails to find words in older books and is not worth tbe money in the kindle version | negative |
0 | Print not large enough | I thought I was buying a large print dictionary and this one was not. I have difficulty reading it. It would be OK for someone who doesn't have eye problems. | negative |
1 | Merriam Websters collegiate dictionary | A great dictionary but the print is too small. Overall, it is a good one !! I would recomment this one | positive |
1 | Best single-volume dictionary going | Nota Bene: it's "Merriam-Webster" and NOT just "Webster's". The latter is a very inferior knock-off.I also own the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, thinking that if I went high-brow it would make me a better person. The OED is actually a pretty good dictionary (unlike the awful Webster's), but it comes in two, large volumes which makes it impractical as an easy reference when reading on the couch; plus, I haven't run across any definition that I needed that was done better for the purpose of quick understanding than Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary does it. (I spent some time looking in both, believe it or not).In addition, the computer software that comes with the 11th edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary is really good; very helpful when using Word ... highlight a word and right-click to bring up the definition. | positive |
0 | Not a good replacement for the kindle. | I bought this dictionary as a replacement on my Kindle. I'm sorry I did. It did not find as many words as the default dictionary Mand a lot of the ones that it did find, I had to go to the full screen few to see the definition. I switched back to the default dictionary. You are not allowed to download the dictionary to an iPhone either. I download it to my pc thinking that I could use a newer Collegiate dictionary. There is no table of contents, so I will not use it on my pc either. | negative |
1 | Some things I miss | M-S Collegiate Dictionary has always been my favorite - and continues to be (while I would dearly love a full edition of the Oxford I wouldn't know where to put it all!). However, I use my dictionary mainly for the most challenging crossword after I've given up on my brain alone. I miss the "Abbreviations and Symbols for Chemical Elements" in the 11th Edition that was included in the previous ones (yes, I know they are included throughout the main body). And, I miss the "Colleges and Universities" that used to be in the editions before the 10th. Also, the contents do not list that the "Pronunciation Symbols" are on the inside back page; in fact in two places. Those nitpicks being mentioned, the MWCD is always a great value and solid resource. | positive |
0 | DOES NOT WORK ON KINDLE FIRE | In Kindle Fire, there is no search function that allows you to search for a single word and its definition. The only search is the Fire built-in one that looks for the word in every place it appears in the book. Search for "liquid" took 4 mins 37 second and returned 134 instances of the word. Amazon confirmed there is no search feature for kindle fire only the e-ink family. They also confirmed that there is no dictionary available for Fire that has this feature.I asked for and received a refund. | negative |
0 | Missing CD-ROM and Invalid Registration Code | I purchased this item thinking I was also getting a CD-ROM and an online subscription. The image shown indicates this and so does the title of the item (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition thumb-notched with Win/Mac CD-ROM and Online Subscription). However, no CD-ROM was included with the item and the registration code was invalid for the "Free Digital Download". | negative |
0 | This is the worst dictonary ever!!!! | I bought this becouse I am going to school and had just gotten a tablet. I was having a hard time reading my paperback dictinary in 5pt font. I just need something to look up words for spelleing and such. The problem with this dictonary is that you can try to search for a word head or jump to a page where you can start looking like you know a word starts with "ca". when you search on "ca" the book brings up everyword in the book thatr has "ca" in it. And with 1531786 pages in ti that a lot. | negative |
1 | -It'll Do In A Pinch- | I was looking for another dictionary for my kids when I came across this one. The price was really low, so I took a shot and ordered it. It's not as thorough as I would have liked, but it gets the job done. I went with the hardback, and overall the quality is on par with others in this price range. My kids are happy, so I'm happy. | positive |
0 | Not compatible with the iPhone. | This is an excellent tool that I use for class and it works fine in the iPad. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the iPhone and that was the main purpose I bought it. So unless something is done I would not change my rating. Besides that I would recommended its purchase. | negative |
1 | A great buy as well as a wonderful full-featured resource | Not too big. Quick! Concise information for the busy writer or student. Just the facts are presented in this ALMOST full featured Dictionary. IF you need more information prepare to carry a BIGGER,THICKER book. The perfect gift and resource for every home.Purchasing this book is a no-brainer. Current! Detailed! Accurate! Cheap! What more could you ask for? | positive |
1 | great dictionary | This is a great dictionary. I wish they would make one just like it in large print and soft cover. | positive |
1 | big book for big words | i get confused often, this book helps me not be so confused. i feel less lost when i read because i look up words i don't know. this helps me to know what is implied by the writer. don't drop this book on your foot unless you have ganglion cysts you are trying to burst with it. | positive |
1 | The Best Dictionary | I've been using this dictionary since 1963. I've probably had five or six editions since then. I'm pretty sure I paid less for the 11th edition from Amazon than I paid for my first Merriam-Webster way back then. | positive |
1 | Dictionary review | The "Collegiate Dictionary" is the finest available one-volume dictionary of American English. One should get a new edition every few years, to keep abreast of the 'neologisms' and other more current usages.Dr. Randall SpeerReston, VA | positive |
1 | A must-have for every home or office | It's complete enough to find almost any word you're looking for. Thankfully, it isn't so big and heavy to make it hard to use (or even lift!). And it's great for crossword puzzle fans. | positive |
1 | great for students | This a great resource for students( or anyone else, but students will get the most out of it). My mom had the 8th version or so in about 1995. The CD is great to quickly look up words and you can incorporate it into word processing programs like microsoft word. | positive |
1 | Works great for other things as well | My horse was being bitten by another horse where he was stabled. I applied some to his flanks where he was bitten before, and he has not been bitten or nipped again. That was two months ago. I can also add a warning to stay upwind of this product when you apply it. Also stay upwind when grooming where it was applied :)Unless you like runny eyes, burning nose, and coughing, or think pepper spray is tasty ( ) : - ) | positive |
1 | SOLID ALBUM | I REALLY GIVE IT A 3.5 BECAUSE SOME IF THE BEATS WERE OFF THE WALL BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE ALBUM IS WORTH BUYING | positive |
1 | Wonderful Book! | There is a lot of wonderful information packed inside this little book. It is worth the investment to see how color actually affects our everyday lives. | positive |
1 | Cool | Love this authors books. My review is on the psychic reading through touch. I don't want to repeat myself but yes this is a great book | positive |
1 | Ted Andrews | I am so impressed by Ted Andrews book How To Heal With Colour that I have ordered another of his books. He packs a tremendous amount of information into a relatively small book. His writing is easy to read, descriptive and very informative. This book also includes teachings of the Qabalah which I am very interested in. Many books on this subject are not easy to understand but I found Ted's book simplified the sephiroth in relation to healing. It's an excellent book. Top marks! | positive |
1 | excellent info in a concise format | This book is more than what I expected. The information is plentiful and offered in an easy to read, concise format. As a novice I was able to apply the information and help heal my husband's headache within 2 minutes of color therapy. This is a must have for anyone interested in hands on healing and energetic medicine. Add this one to your library, it's a keeper. | positive |
0 | Don't buy for anything newer than Windows ME | Magix really deserves a bad mark for this: I tried installing Music Studio deLuxe 5 on Windows XP and the installer refused to do it, saying I need to have Windows 95. This is a very, very bad design decision. Odds are that this would work if I could install it. Now I'm out a wad of cash and outta luck.This software is still available for purchase, so learn from my mistake and skip the bargain opportunity. Buy something newer. | negative |
0 | Does not install on Windows 2000 or Windows XP | Even though the product description includes Windows 2000, the installer will not let you install it on Windows 2000 (or on Windows XP). It gives a message indicating that Windows 95 is required. The software will install on Windows 98, but because Microsoft is no longer providing security updates to 98, your best bet is to abandon this version of the Magix Studio Deluxe. A definite "don't buy" recommendation. | negative |
1 | Very Moisturizing!!! | I love love love this shampoo. After reading a review from someone who has similar hair like myself, I decided to give it a try. Because I am African-American with relaxed 4a/b hair, I always look for moisturizing shampoos. Out of all of the different brands of shampoos that I've tried, that claim to be moisturizing, this is one of, if not the best!!! It is very moisturizing and detangling, which is very important for my dry hair which tends to tangle when I shampoo. The only downside is the fact that it TRULY smells like men's cologne. But for the results I get, I can tolerate it. It's very creamy and doesn't lather a lot which I don't mind..for me too much lather equals tangles. So for those who have dry hair, you should definitely give this a try. | positive |
0 | Sennheiser "Refurbs" *not* a bargain | We ordered two sets. One arrived with a corroded batteryinside - took us awhile to figure out why it wasn't charging...fortunately, they had packed a good battery in with theaccessories, so we were able to get this one working. Whythe folks who "refurbished" it didn't take out the bad componentis a mystery.The second unit not only was missing some components in thebase (which meant there was nothing for the connecting cablesto attach to,) but whoever had assembled the headphone unithad done it incorrectly.I'd say two bad refurbs out of two isn't a very good record.Sennheiser makes good stuff - but stick to the new onesunless you want a real science project. | negative |
0 | Doesn't work | Mine doesn't work. Don't charge (5 full days charging so far and nothing...). Probably the battery doesn't work anymore. As another reviewer said: it's a science project. | negative |
0 | Weak design leads to breaking | I've used two sets of headphones and both have broken after a few months at the pivots at the ends of the circular headpiece.I guess that if headphones look flimsy, then they really are...Also, the reception was very intermittant on any of the three channels. If my head was in one position too long, the sound would drift to static. Just twisting my head would clear it again for a few minutes. Unfortunately, continuously moving my head led to drifting even more frequently. Arrgghhh! | negative |
0 | Sound good,, but buy them cheap | Sennheiser is one of the better known names in headphones. Their sound quality is excellent. I thought that their wireless headphones would be excellent as well. They were, for about 6 months. Then they just stopped working. No clues to the problem. Possibly the battery? | negative |
1 | Nice headset. | Not the best sound quality, but definitely worth the price. Love the wireless, freedom of movement. I wish the headset was a little smaller, but would recommend for everyday use. | positive |
1 | Cone of Silence | This is a good product, good value... and a great way to have a quiet householdand still get the great full sound experience. Great for people withlow hearing levels... can be adjusted at the head set.The only Neg. is that it dosent sit properly in the rechargeholster...so you need to make sure the charge signal comes on. | positive |
0 | Simply a bad idea | I got the RS-45 brand new 2 years ago, only used it for less than 5 hours. it have been collecting dust in the basement most of the time. The quality of the sound is pretty bad. it is flat, like AM radio. you can not move much, otherwise the transmission will be interrpted for about half a send. it is probably OK for watch TV. I was going to use it for music at work since I moved alot during the day, and I want to be wire-free, what a bad idea, I should simply get a MP3 player like others. | negative |
0 | One of the Worst ever wireless headphones... | there is an hell lot amount of NOISE...only...with the model. Please dont go for this model.... I dont know how to part this piece to trash.,... | negative |
0 | Not at all Good | This Product is peice of junk. Its not even worth of looking it. I thing Amazon people shoul stop promoting this kind of junk through their site. | negative |
1 | Among the greatest of all literary diaries | These diaries tell the story of a great writer's struggle with his life and work. They are filled with remarkable poetic lines and with great psychological perceptions. Kafka's genius is felt in every line he wrote, and it is a difficult pleasure but a real one which can be obtained from reading this work. | positive |
0 | Another incomplete rehash of Vietnam lore | The frightening aspect of this work is that it is simply another glazing over of what Americans call the Vietnam War. The sources consulted do not constitute anything resembling a full scope of available scholarship. Americans do not understand the Indochina conflict because they are only allowed to see one side. This book is simply another work in a long line of American political lore which has created convenient rationalization for complex events in Southeast Asia. There are significant scholarly works available for the reader who desires true understanding. This work is certainly not to be held among them. | negative |
1 | This is the best of the Viet Nam books | This book tells us things that previous books haven't, apparently because of newly released documents the author managed to get access to. He is very persuasive about his theories of what went wrong and when. It sheds a whole new light on this period of history, and it convinced me that several things I thoughtI knew about it were wrong.Everyone with an interest in this terrible war should read it. | positive |
1 | Seizing Amber -- Great! | I don't want to give anything away, but this is a writer to watch! You have to read it to understand. | positive |
1 | Buy an electric pump | Step one: purchase an electric pump along with this bed. You will thank me.I spent waaaaay too long the first time I used this bed, pumping it up with the tiny plastic hand-pump that is included in the box.It's torture.Before I used it again, I bought an electric pump.As far as the bed goes, I have no complaints so far! It's got a satin-y finish on it that keeps you from slipping around.I'm 6'3", and 200 pounds and it seems to be quite durable. | positive |
0 | You get what you pay for. Learned a lesson today. | Item looks great. But check it out when you get it to see if it holds air. Went camping 5 weeks after we purchased this item. Wound up sleeping on the ground. Tried blowing it up several times. Was not a fun night. Used a spray bottle of soapy water in it to try to find the leak, Nothing. I guess the leak is to small to track. Mattress stays inflated for about 2 hrs, before you hit the ground. Return Policy 30 days on products sold on Amazom. Lesson learned! Check out each and every thing you buy, make sure there is a return policy available that suits your needs. Guess we are just out of the money, we will buy another at Walmart, even though I don't like doing business there, a no hassel return policy there for up to a year, can't beat that. | negative |
1 | air mattress | I used this for one night on a camping trip, it worked out great, it was the most affordable mattress that came with a pump, the pump takes 10 minutes of pumping, and makes a wheezing sound the entire time, there is no need for vigourous pumping, just take it easy and ten minutes later you'll have a bed. it is not the size of a queen bed you have at home but it is plenty big for two. I imagine that more expensive mattresses will provide a more comfortable night's sleep but this was adequate. HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: it comes with two pillows, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THESE AS PILLOWS. you will not be able to sleep on them, get a real camping pillow, bring your own, or use some soft clothes, these inflatable ones will haunt you all night. HOWEVER, they make Fantastic cushions for sitting on. also, the bed is heavy. | positive |
0 | Slow Leak | I used the mattress twice for overnight use for two people. The first time by the morning there was noticeably less air in the mattress. The second time I used it, I had to refill the mattress every three hours. I thought it might be the valve, so I tightened it with a pliers to get it tight, it still leaked somewhere. I threw it away after the second use. | negative |
0 | Pain in the Butt | The manual pump takes a ton of effort to blow up, not fun when you're tired and ready for bed. I had to buy a seperate air pump for convinence and it doesn't fit correctly and kills batteries, but thats another story. It frequently deflates over night and I wind up sinking to the floor by morning. The pillows are a joke, I have this one as a spare, just in case bed. You're better off getting the more expensive one with a built in air pump, I thought I was being smart saving money, I rather have paid. | negative |
1 | excellent quality - larger than expected | The bed is larger than expected. A true queen size. The hand pump was a bit of a work-out, but I need to hit the gym more anyway. The mattress stays full for a long time. Only giving 4 stars because we've only used it a couple times. If it lasts, I'll change it to 5 stars. | positive |
1 | Great mattress | I got this mattress mainly for camping purpose but use it when we have people stay over our place. It is easy to inflate even my 6 year old daughter can get it done in about 10 mins. The hand pump is not bad. I would give this product 5 starts if it included a foot pump instead. | positive |
1 | 2 Days of camping | Have had bad experience borrowing air mattress in the past. However, I bought this for a friend and ended up using for 2 days while camping. worked great. only had to pump it up once. Other reviews stated that it is slow to deflate- The problem with deflating this is that you have to unscrew the cap and it will deflate much easier. It took me a few minutes to figure that out. So I would not take that into consideration. the pillows were a little cheesy but an added bonus. I would recomend this for a comping trip , very pleased. Hopefully it will stand the test of time. | positive |
0 | poor quality | well just took my air mattress camping...spent the night between 3 rocks... i felt them all as the mattress deflated after 20 mins ... the stitching around the air vent was made so poorly you can hear the air escape. Returning policy makes any kind of return useless as you will spend more money shipping it back to the seller. Buy something better... | negative |
1 | Great for the price | I bought this air mattress when some friends come into town and stayed for the weekend. I recently slept on the mattress as well while moving. It feels comfortable and is easy to fill up. | positive |
0 | No thank you | DISSAPOINTMENT right out of the box it leaked...placed it on a clean flat floor,plugged in the air, and it leaked.THUMBS DOWN | negative |
