drp1908 says "Love it.....great value for the price." about Sony Cybershot 12.1 Megapixel 4X Optical Zoom Digital Camera - Black

drp1908 — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:12:18 GMT

I purchased this camera last fall. I love it. I was upgrading from my first digital 8MP camera, and wanted something nicer. It was a great price for the value. The size fits comfortable into my purse without feeling heavy or cluttered. My family used it during the holidays to display old family pictures on the television. I was a little dissapointed that I needed to pay $24.99 for the memory card initially, so if you have another option wait for the sale on those. But overall, it's a great camera. I really enjoy mine.

KSMom says "Beautiful picture" about Sony Bravia 52 in. (Diagonal) Class 1080p 120 Hz LCD HD Television

KSMom — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:21:03 GMT

We got this TV on a great sale at Sears several months ago and have absolutely loved it! We are STILL often impressed by the picture quality and options on the TV. We replaced an old console type big screen TV with this new one, and the difference in picture quality is night and day. We also did a lot of research on the new TV before purchasing it (as we do every large purchase) and were happy to find that Sony Bravias are some of the best quality TVs out there. It didn't hurt that we had several family members who had various sized Sony Bravias before we chose ours and they all love theirs as well.

We like that it has plenty of inputs, of a wide variety (HDMI, Component, Composite, HD15, etc.) so it's still compatible with our non-HD electronics like our older DVD player, and yet we can do things with it we couldn't with our old TV like plug my laptop into it and watch streaming Netflix movies.

crackermama says "Sony cybershot is a great camera" about Sony Cybershot 12.1 Megapixel 4X Optical Zoom Digital Camera - Black

crackermama — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:55:40 GMT

It was a bout time for me to get a new camera, so i did a lot of research for a camera that has a good size screen, great marco, a good zoom, and didnt take fuzzy pics. I actually had a few other in mind as my first choice. But then addin in prices this was in my top 2. I played with all the features at the store to see how it all works, and how well it takes pics. I have 2 kids that run and never sit still, so i needed one that took a fast pic (other waited a few sec after touching the button to take the pic) The sony cybershot did great. Me and my husband put together and paint minitures, we like to take pics of them and post them, so a good marco was important.We got as close as 1 1/2 in from the miniture and you could see so much detail. It did GREAT!!

musicfish59 says "craftsman high speed sweeper performs well!" about Craftsman 42 in. High Speed Sweeper

musicfish59 — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:47:55 GMT

I have had my high speed yard sweeper for over 3 years now and am very satisfied. I have a 1/2 acre lot with many large trees and lots of leaves in the fall. It is a lifesaver (and back saver). It performs excellent overall. I use it about 6 - 7 times every fall and it has never failed. Assembly is a little involved but not too bad. It is necessary to adjust the height fairly often as the wheels will not turn if not set correctly. I would highly recommend it for anyone who has lots of raking to do. Well worth the money.

ajflame says "A must have!" about Craftsman 5-Drawer Powered Mobile Tool Cabinet

ajflame — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:41:53 GMT

My father-in-law gave this to me and I use it constantly. I don't have a lot of tools yet and this chest more than suits my needs. I really like the sliding top that reveals more storage space. I keep my ratchet stets, screws and other hardware in here. It's portablilty has come in handy numerous times. I find it durable and I have had no problems with it at all. The drawers open and close very smoothly and have never given me a problem and I open them quite a bit.

It is not the largest tool chest, but if you don't have a lot of tools or need something portable this is it.

dad05 says "Great Value, I have bought 4 of them!" about Dockers Braided Belt

dad05 — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:41:17 GMT

I bought one of these belts (cordovan or maroon) at Sears about 18 months ago. The look and feel of it is very comparable to what you would find at Brooks Brothers, Jos. A Bank or a big department Store. Liked it so much that I went back about 6 months later and bought a black one on sale for $16 or $17. The first belt that I purchased wore out after 18 months; I wore it to work & to church....so it saw action about 6 days a week. I'm ok with that...I can buy one at Brook Brothers that lasts for 3 or 4 years....but it might cost $90 to $100 for that type of quality. So just this week....I went back to Sears on my lunch hour and bought two more belts...both cordovan bc I wanted a back up plan. They were on sale again...paid about $17 or $18 this time. Anyway....this is a great Value. I recommend that you buy it 2 inches bigger than your actual waistline.

blakkheart says "Great, Just need an extra hand or ladder to put it up yourself!" about Craftsman 1/2 hp Garage Door Opener, Chain Drive

blakkheart — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:09:42 GMT

Great, and easy to install yourself! Just make sure you read the instructions and everything should go fine. A little electrical knowledge is advantageous, too. I especially like the feature of its maunual release lever so if you ever forget you had the slide bolt/plate in the door for security when you went away for a while, you come back and try to open the garage and it won't open, just pull the release and the door comes down. Press the garage door opener button on the wall and the chain draws the arm to the opener. Press the button again and the chain runs the arm back to meet the release and arm. Then, you are all set, provided, of course, you pulled the slide bolt/plate.

Plus, the sensors are sensitive. good for protecting the door coming down on an animal, child, you, or an object.

The only negative is that because it is a chain it is a little loud. But, metal is always louder than rubber, so this was expected.

hmreynolds says "Best charcoal grill + smoker ever! So glad we made this purchase" about BBQ Pro Barrel Smoker with Offset Firebox

hmreynolds — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:09:04 GMT

Did a lot of research looking for the perfect grill for my husband's Christmas present. After months of checking out the different options out there, BBQ Pro's particular style 'stuck out of the crowd.' Not only did it offer all I was looking for (i.e. style, height, surface area, attached shelf), it also fit perfectly into my budget even after taxes. When I mentioned height earlier, I was referring to how high it sits off the ground. My husband is 6' 3" and all the other grills similar to BBQ Pro's were about 4" shorter! This particular grill fits perfect so if you're ergonomic conscious then this is great for you! If you've been searching the world over looking for the perfect grill, your journey should stop here! It's been more than worth it and has made many a delicious meal since my hubby opened it at Christmas! Wish you the best enjoying this grill since YOU SHOULD GET YOURSELF ONE! (one heck of a sales pitch right there!) Truly something we can enjoy for the rest of our lives, a...

DrDantheHandyman says "The Craftsman air hose reel is satisfactory at 1/2 price." about Craftsman Hose Reel & Hose

DrDantheHandyman — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:46:58 GMT

The Craftsman hose reel was on sale 50% off at $39.95. This is a huge improvement over the extension hose I was using and then coiling by hand. The Craftsman hose reel was easy to install, is leak free, and the hose does not kink. However, the rewind mechanism is not very good and most every time I have to feed the last 10 feet of so by hand regardless of how careful I try to let the hose lay a good patern on the drum. If you get it on sale it is worth the money, but I would not recommend it for the $80 as listed.

dcarringer says "After 7 months of service, this mower has met all expectations." about Craftsman YT 4000 24 HP 42" Yard Tractor

dcarringer — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:03:09 GMT

This mower has met all expectations in the seven months I've had it in service. From reading previous reviews I was concerned about power loss on some of my steeper grades. However, as soon as I bought it I read and followed all the instructions regarding purging the transmission and have experienced no problems whatsoever. The B&S 24hp motor has plenty enough power. Now, I have lost traction a few times, but I've never lost power. The cruise control on my machine has never worked, but on my lawn (lots of turns, trees, curves and hills) I don't think I'll ever use it anyway. I purchased the maintenance contract so I'll have them fix it during the winter months. The only real negative is the fuel gauge (or lack thereof). I would have gladly paid extra for an electric fuel guage option if one were available. The window view of the fuel level in the tank is useless with colorless gasoline.

liberty4ever says "Great little mower" about Craftsman Rear Bag Push Lawn Mower with High Wheel

liberty4ever — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:08:05 GMT

I have a little lawn care biz on the side and I bought this mower because my 12+ year old Craftsman 4HP, which I absolutely adore, couldn't take some of the thick lawns I mow (sniff, sniff). I am a small female so I was looking for something light, easy to push, easy to start and easy to maneuver, especially in tight places. I also wanted a mower that didn't die on me in thick grass. It meets all of those expectations. I am very happy with this mower overall.

I have only two minor gripes: unlike my old mower, it doesn't have the 9 point height/wheel adjustment. I really wish Sears would offer a retrofit. If it's the least bit dry or in sparse grass, it kicks up a tremendous amount of dust that goes right through the dust control bag.

mrsrossi says "The best picture quality I have ever seen on a home system." about Sony Bravia 52 in. (Diagonal) Class 1080p 120 Hz LCD HD Television

mrsrossi — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:44:30 GMT

I bought the sony bravia 52 in flat screen and also the sony saround sound along with the blue ray player. I am easy to please but this is absolutly amazing in picture quality and sound! The flat screen is amazingly light for it's size and extremely stable were it sits. Which is very important for me since I have 3 crazy boys. It has many options for picture display and sound quality as well as easy hook up options for gamers. This is above and beyond what I expected. So needless to say I am very happy with my purchase!

WallyP says "Classic grill, classic results." about Weber 22 1/2" Black - One-Touch Silver Kettle Grill

WallyP — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:32:02 GMT

I entertain a lot so most my grilling is done on my larger charcoal grill with smoker box attachment, but when I'm cooking for less than 4 this is my go to grill. I grill a ton, so I have been through maybe 3 of these in the last 8 years or so, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that I move the grill around all the time and sometimes subject it to inclement weather.

Heat control is as good as you could expect from a kettle grill and smoking in it is a breeze. I've done everything from pork shoulder to NY Strip to stuffed jalepeno poppers on this grill. My only complaint would be the lack of cast iron grating, but I use a couple extras I have from my big grill and just plop them and the grate and it works awesome!

dayento2 says "All of your keys in one place...YAY!" about Craftsman 3 pc. Hex Key Set

dayento2 — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:18:56 GMT

This 3 peice hex key/torx key set is terrific. The metric/SE/Torx peices are color coordinated so you won't get them confused. Before I had all of my keys in a zip lock sandwhich bag because the inscriptions on the sizes of the key were so small it wasn't worth it. All of your most common used sizes are in one place. The sizes of each each are molded on the plastic handle so you know exactly what you are using. If you don't have any hex keys at all then these are a great set to get. However, these won't replace a full set of hex keys because the really, really small or really big sizes aren't included. The most common sizes that you come accross are included. I've used this set to assemble all of my Ikea furniture (I hate the one they give you its so small) as well as many of the car projects I come across. The Torx set is great if you do computer work as many parts require a T10 or T15 key. This set is a great buy when it's priced for $19.99. Not to mention it carries...

mbpfeil says "I regret ever buying this thing" about Craftsman 19 in. Premium Battery Powered 3-in-1 Deck Lawn Mower

mbpfeil — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:54:38 GMT

Some of the same problems others have had - stops fully charging after a while. I took it back twice, after three months each time, because it would only charge to the first green light. The second time I took it home, I must have pulled on the cord when folding the handle up getting it home.

Well, guess what? I can't just push it back in because I don't know how to get the cover off and Sears won't tell you, they expect you to bring it in where they will ship it hundreds of miles away and charge hundreds of dollars so that they can take the cover off and push the cord back in. Some gig, eh? With the Neuton, you can switch out batteries!

Does anyone know how to get the cover off without breaking the cover? Thanks.

bengi says "Revolution Lawn Tractor sounds like a turbine, cuts great!" about Craftsman Revolution 22 hp 42" Zero Turn Yard Tractor

bengi — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:50:39 GMT

First of all it is louder than most lawn tractor! Wear hearing protectors! Great at cutting grass, wish deck would go up higher to allow taller grass. Deck is 42", the Cut Cadet (almost twins) ZTTs are available in 46" decks, the series is identical with the exception of color ( Cabdet yellow), engine offerings(Cadet has Kohler Available, not B&S) and a 3 year warranty (instead of 2 from Sears). The prices are close between the 2 lines, so it would be a difficult choice. I purchased mine from an outlet store for a great price. First one had so may things wrong with it that the tech wrote it up as unrepairable and Sears go me a new one, same price. Have had it for 4 months, noticed it is getting harder to start,with less than 30 hours on it. Did buy a scoop( will review it later!), a bit difficult to mount, had to get special mounts for it, but works OK. Next would like more attachments for it, like a weight kit, bagger, chains, sleeve hitch- they are all way overpriced. The bagger is over...

masterunderhill says "By far, the best underwear a man can put on. " about Covington Nylon Briefs (4-pack)

masterunderhill — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 02:36:33 GMT

I am so glad I came across these briefs. I didn't know Sears made these. I was skeptical at first because nylon sounds kinda feminine, but these are truly the best underwear a man can buy. I'm a college student and these are great to wear to the gym when I work out. They offer great support while being cool and roomy as well. They're even great for just whenever wear too. Sometimes I forget I even have them on. The colors that came in were navy, teal, burgundy and black. I have a 34" waist and I ordered the medium and they fit great. I will definitely buy these again in the future. Thanks Sears.

DAHstra says "Good for the price." about Canon Lens (EF75-300mm) for All SLR Canon Cameras

DAHstra — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 12:53:38 GMT

If you want a zoom lense, but don't want a several hundred to thousand dollar luxury lense, this is a good choice. For the price you will be satisfied. No, it won't be as clear as a more expensive lense, but you will have fun with it.

If you want to eliminate tremor, pay the extra money for the bulit in technology to counter the tremor. If you only use a tripod, you may not care. I like to take most of my photos freehand, so I should have invested in the anti-tremor. Live and learn.

Again, buy a "lense cover leash," you won't be sorry and they are very cheap.

ronlambert2000 — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:10:57 GMT

The string trimmer is great for you average weekly mowing at home. My son mows grass during the Summer, around 5+ yards per week. the string trimmer did a great job this summer but where the lower half connects to the top half their is a problem. It is loose from the vibration. The lower half twists a little when you accelerate. I do recommend this for your average home owner, Great Mach for the money. But for daily use recomend a higher end. Although, it did paid for its self in two weeks.

Thanks

cemeyer says "This 52" Professional mower is as tough as a tank!" about Craftsman Professional 26 hp 52 in. Zero Turn Riding Mower

cemeyer — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:23:03 GMT

The thought that went into the design is superb. This mower is strictly heavy duty. If you can't mow your grass with this mower because it's too tough, your next choice will have to be a bush hog. It has a very solid feel while riding and cutting. The speed is wonderful without sacrificing cutting performance. It is very easy to maneuver in and around objects. The seat is comfortable, but lacks springs, with very nice supportive arm rests. The gas capacity is great. It holds more than half as much as my car. I now look forward to cutting my grass instead of dreading the task....
