Customer reviews
• I have been saving up for this tv for quite some time now & when I saw it on sale for $697 I had to buy it not knowing when I would see it any lower. I have to say that I am very very happy with my purchase/investment. I can not believe the clarity of the picture & the sound is excellent. The HDMI cable is a must.
• Great picture, simple to set up, you won't need the instruction book, its so intuitive. The new form factor is nice and very modern looking. Remote is very simple, but not a multi-function remote that can be used for other components. My PS3 and BluRay Discs look spectacular. An amazing value for the money! The glowing Vizio logo is subtle white when turned on and amber when the TV is turned off.

the stand snaps on and is held in with one thumb screw. You plug it in and automatically scans for your local Digital TV signals and you are ready to go- don't forget antenna - one is not included. Being able to rename the INPUTS is great, so everyone using it will know what INPUT is for what.
• So my husband I bought this TV about a week ago, and it is amazing. This is our second Vizio TV purchase and we absoultely recommend that if your going to buy an LCD TV that you consider buying a Vizio because the product is more inexpensive than other brands of TV's and the quality is amazing. We bought a Samsung 42" TV the first time around and when we hooked it up there was this weird distortion line running through the center of the screen. We took it back and picked up the Vizio and no distortion line or anything. It looks beautiful. BUY THIS TV...YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Customer reviews
• Works great for the price.
When I read reviews I was concerned about the sturdiness of the machine but it is very sturdy, does not wobble regardless of speed. I was also concerned with the width of the side rails but my feet fit just fine as do my husbands.
Good:
-belt is very smooth
-not as loud as I read, comparable to gym quality machines
-assembly direction very well written
-durable
-speed increases/decreases rapidly when needed
Bad:
-heart rate monitor not accurate (although most machines that have this device rarely are)
-display panel a bit darker than most
-display panel looked really "plastically" at first but once it was assembled and used it works very well
Tips:
When setting up you really do need two people. Don't get over anxious about tightening the bolts until the directions say to and DO NOT remove any of the twist (not zip) ties-they are there for a specific reason. There are a couple of white zip ties that need to be removed before you place the panel on the machine (the directions did not say anything about them).
Overall this machine works very well. Having experience with many gym treadmill this one works in a comparable manner. I use it for running on but works really well for walking too.
• I would recommend this treadmill to any-one.
Me and My Wife use it every-day. I've read some reviews that state the motor is too loud, Me and the Wife both agree that the motor is very quiet.
Putting it together is a little tricky but just take your time and read the manual. This treadmill does not come with a fan, But all you have to do is buy a clamp-on fan which you can buy very very cheap.
All in all--If you need a treadmill---Buy It...
• After much research of different brands I selected Weslo Cadence. It arrived in 1 week and having assembled a treadmill before I had it all put together in 2 hours, by myself. Runs great and isnt any louder than any other treadmill I've used. I am particularly impressed with the display panel. Everything is clear and concise and I can even see the display without my glasses!!! Is the perfect treadmill for my needs.

Customer reviews
• We are new to the world of GPS. After I got everything loaded into it, we found that it was right-on-the-nose when it came to giving directions, finding a point of interest, etc. Now if I could only program my husband to react just as well.
• Easy to use right out of the box. Very accurate in finding addresses. Route otimazation works great saves gas and time.
• I tried 3 Tom Tom and 4 Garmin units and found the Garmin products to be more user friendly. The screen display is better, easier to see in daylight and at night. Both mfg's products no matter what model, got you to where you wanted to go, sometimes not the best route, but if you don't know any other way, who cares, they always got you there. I found the nuvi 750 Garmin the best for me. You can get the 2009 map with a download, no charge. The nuvi 750 responds quickly to route changes, and only took a long time to find satellite's the initial time, after that it locates just as quickly as all the others. Speech is clear and correct 99% of the time. Battery power goes a long time for me, only need car charger on long trips of 3 or more hours. I bought the Garmin dash mount, don't like window mount unit much. You can use the USB cable to charge on your computor, or even Razor phone battery charger cable at home. I like the "Where am I" feature, mostly for locating "Emergency" locations in unknown areas, not to find my car in a parking lot. The POI's are as good as any I tried, and on this unit you can customize the POI's. There are some features I haven't tried, and some I have no use for, but with the price on Walmart.com (the lowest I found) I think I got the best GPS for me.

Reviews:
• Was a little scared to order without seeing it, but after reading other reviews I took a chance. Boy am I glad I ordered the dinning set. It Looks GREAT. Delivery was on time and it wasn't hard to assemble, I usually get very frustrated putting things together. This set looks like it came from an expensive furniture store. Hope it holds up to the climate in south east Texas.
• I purchased this at the beginning of Summer 2008, and it was used regularly throughout that summer and in Summer 2009. It has held up very well. I did apply teak oil before putting it into storage over the winter. It's just like anything else- you've got to take care of it if you want it to last and look good.
• When I received this set, I fell in love with it. The wood is absolutely beautiful! The oversized chairs are nice as well. My table was damaged when I received it. It was not packaged carefully. I called Walmart online customer service and they immediately shipped another right out to me. It was painless! I would definitely recommend this product to others, especially for the price.
• Table & Chairs arrived quickly, were very easy to assemble and look fantastic. Very stable, no rough edges, etc.

We used teak oil on table/chairs before placing outside and have had only 3 weeks, but looks good. We plan to keep oiling at end of each season to help retain color.

Reviews:
• This is a great home water park. It is very durable and even our neighborhood kids love to come over and join in on the fun. We have had 5 kids on it at once (ages 3-7) with no problems. Our two oldest sons 6 and 3 have a blast on it, but only for a short while. It has continuous water flow to keep the slides wet and after a short while the water and splash pool get too cold for them. My husband is going to hook up a pump to it this summer to recycle the splash pool water back up to the top to keep the slides slick. Also, it does have to be cleaned and dried out very well before storing or mold could become an issue. It definetely requires some maintenance on the parents part. I personally would suggest a bounce house without water, but if you're looking for a waterpark to cool you on warm days, this is a great quality one. Overall, our boys enjoy it on hot days and it is built to last. Another great Little Tikes toy!
• This is our second Little Tikes inflatable product. We bought the dual obstacle course inflatable bounce house over a year ago and it has been GREAT. We finally decided to get a water inflatable slide and this was in our top couple of choices. First of all, Little Tikes products our durable and hold up. This one is a breeze to set up and it inflates within a couple of minutes. Drying it out is just as fast considering where we live (texas). It took about 15 minutes for it to dry out and then we climbed up there and wiped it off with a towel. We mainly bought this one for the dual slides and the pool area at the bottom. This is great for young kids - I don't see older kids around ages 8-10 playing with it but ours are under age of 6. We are very happy with it. It folds up GREAT and have had NO issues with folding it back up in the bag. There is an art to folding up these inflatable toys though - it takes trial and error to get it folded up to fit back into the bag.

I will say that I think a lot of people are lazy when it comes to caring for these products. Having a water inflatable slide takes WORK. We ALWAYS lay out a tarp on the ground to protect the bottom of these inflatable things. There are an investment. We NEVER leave them up overnight. Leaving them out in the sun/rain/weather/etc will ruin them. Leaving them out in the sun will wear out the fabric and that's why people have ripped seams. It's a lot of work to properly care for these but like I said, they are an investment and need time and care to keep them in good condition.

Overall, I'm very happy with Little Tikes products as are my kids! Can't go wrong here! The kids loves it - the obstacle course to climb up is fun as is the dump bucket. Having two slides is great if you have more than one child. No fighting is a PLUS!
• This slide is awesome. I have two little girls 3 and 4 years old and nieces and nephews the ages of 3,4,5, 8, 11, and 12 yrs old and they ALL had the best time on it all day. The quality of the product is great and size is perfect. My husband set it up in about 10 minutes and taking it down was easy. We got it on clearance at our local Walmart store because they only had two left, you should check around to get the clearance price if possible, it was 50% off. Purchasing it at Walmart was also great because they have a 90 day return policy even if the product is used and I bought a $19.98 service plan with it and if anything happens to it after the manufacturers 90 day guarantee Walmart will honor it 2years after and replace it for the next two years if it should tear or break. For what we paid I am happy for what it provided us for our 4th of July cookout and for the summer ahead!!!
