IreneDeal says "Garmin is the top of the line in GPS systoms!!" about Garmin - Nuvi 1450 LMT 5 In. Ultra-Thin GPS with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates

IreneDeal — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:15:01 GMT

I have seen and used several differant GPS systoms and I truly believe Garmin is the top shelf or top of the line in GPS systoms. Their easy to use features are far beyond all that I have seen or used. I prefer the widescreen with free lifetime maps and traffic update feature with the slim design. Garmin offers hands free calling in this modle lane assist and junction view. This helps you know ahead of time exactly where/what lane you need to be in before you get to it. The voice is clear and easy to understand plus it also shows the street names wrote out and an arrow to show the direction you are to turn so you can both see and hear where you are going. Lane assist guides you to the lane or exit you need to be in for your up and coming turn. This modle also has ecoRoute this feature directs you to the most fuel efficient route. With todays gas prices this is a great money saving feature. This Garmin has hands free calling and uses integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in......

JDL2 says "Cobra - Radar/Laser Detector" about Cobra - Radar/Laser Detector

JDL2 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:55:41 GMT

I bought one of these over Christmas while they were on sale. Wasn't sure if it would work, given the various radar/laser systems police use these days. However I was very pleased at what the unit picked up.

abc1216 says "Cobra radar detector is awesome!" about Cobra - Radar/Laser Detector

abc1216 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:51:10 GMT

I bought this for my son for Christmas. I was afraid that it would encourage him to speed but it has actually made him more cautious. It picks up signals for emergency vehicles ( fire trucks, ambulances and construction vehicles) which causes him to slow down and become more aware of his surroundings. Now when i ride in the car with him i am not pressing my own set of invisible brakes on the passenger side.

theshizzle says "poor reception" about Cobra Electronics microTalk 25 Mile GMRS/FRS Two-Way Radio

theshizzle — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:51:50 GMT

This radio DOES NOT have a 25 mile capable talking distance as indicated by the promotion. I drove only one block away from my home and we lost communication. We live in the country side, where there are no interferences or buildings to block the signal. I expected a lot more from this radio, and was very disapointed considering the expensive price. DON'T BUY IT... if you want something nice, I recommend buying something a little more professional; you get what you pay for.

Mr-Mac says "Cobra 19" about Cobra Compact Mobile CB Radio

Mr-Mac — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:12:10 GMT

What a great little CB radio! While it is simple with no bells or whistles, it does work and work well! I wanted a small form CB for those days the wife and I take our 4WDs out to the woods and this fits the bill!

We bought two units, one for her Jeep and one for my F-150 and they are both connected to Firestik antennas and they work great! We both ended up with 1:1 SWR and the reach is amazing! We have been able to talk to other off-roaders for well over a mile out in the woods!

The RF gain control brings in the weaker stations and the transmit power is right where it is supposed to be on both units, something that I cannot say about all CB radios I have ever tried before!

Cobra quality and a great Sears price and we're ecstatic!

kk1234 says "Easy to use and an effective product!" about Turtle Wax Polishing Compound, Scratch Remover, White, 10.5 oz (298 g)

kk1234 — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:10:41 GMT

For me, repainting this vehicle was not worthwhile, but it has scratches and surface deterioration. Use of this compound greatly helped smooth flaws in the surface of the paint, blended scratches in the paint, and overall improved the appearance of the vehicle. Not a miracle cure, but for the cost and limited effort involved this made for a very cost effective update for an aging vehicle. This will help me hold onto the vehicle longer.

msmith35 says "Garmin bluetooth Ultra Thin GPS" about Garmin - Nuvi 1490 LMT 5 In. Bluetooth Ultra-Thin GPS with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates

msmith35 — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 21:11:07 GMT

My husband is OTR truck driver, so he drives all over many states. I was looking for something not to expensive that would do the job. The size of the navigation was also a deciding factor. I needed something small enough that would not obstruct his view but large enough that he could still see the screen. This unit is perfect! It's slim and sleek and very easy to use. The blue tooth feature is fantastic. My husband can take calls when he's at a load/drop and be totally "hands free" as he writes down or programs his next pick up! The voice activation mode is extremely helpful especially at night and in rural areas! I would recommend this unit to anyone who travels in or out of state!

cclpn says "bright as the brightest star" about Directed Electronics Bright Blue LED

cclpn — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 21:06:13 GMT

This set is actually brighter than the regular lights. All LED lights are livier than regular lights you can see them from further away. Last longer than any other lights. Cheaper on your electric bill as well as your pocket. In long run they last forever burn brighter are the best of all to have. Very pleased excited about this particular set. It is one of the best. Would recomemd to everyone. Eventually will replace all my sets to this....

wolfievtec says "Speakers good, Sears bad......" about Pyle Gear X Series 6 1/2&#34 300-Watt Mid Bass Woofer

wolfievtec — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:05:19 GMT

I bought these from Sears online. I talked to a live person who said I'd get free shipping. A few days later I got the speakers and Sears charged me $100.00 in shipping charges. I had to spend hours on the phone with Sears and the 3rd party vendor The Twister Group (awful) to try to resolve this issue. I had to wait weeks for a partial refund and I'm still waiting for a full refund. Do yourself a favor and order from somewhere else. Sears customer service is awful!!! If Sears can't control the 3rd party vendors then they should stick to selling their own merchandice.

Andrew89lx says "solid amp" about Panasonic 1000W 4-Channel Power Amplifier

Andrew89lx — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:38:56 GMT

I bought this amplifier to help power the subwoofers in my car. Although its a great amp, I cant recommend it because you can find them elsewhere for cheaper. It was an easy install and works great though, I shouldnt have to buy another one for a while.

Kimann says "Excellent for Kids- IR Wireless Headphones" about Power Acoustik Swivel Ear Pad Single Channel IR Wireless Headphones - HP-11S

Kimann — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:27:01 GMT

We have headphones that came with our in car DVD player and one pair keeps going in and out. I bought two pair of these on line and they are wonderful. You can hear every sound in the movie, plus if you move your head, the sound won't go in and out. I even wore them with my back to the DVD player jsut to test them out and they worked great! (My husband was driving). My children love them and they fit small heads well. Also, the price is much better than at the car dealership for a lesser quality headphone. Actually, the price dealerships want is about 5 times more for one pair than what I paid for two pair.

KristaHarris says "Great product - easy to use." about Garmin - Nuvi 1450 LMT 5 In. Ultra-Thin GPS with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates

KristaHarris — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:46:23 GMT

We previously bought a TomTom and had issues with it taking too long to load or freezing up. We also wanted to be able to save favorite places and delete others. So we returned the TomTom and after some research got this. Highly recommend you opt for one with Lifetime Maps & Traffic - it's worth the couple of bucks.

So far we are very pleased with the Garmin.
