3 comments about Original Humax DRT 800, 400 Tivo Remote Control w/DVD.
- If you're used to using a standard Tivo Series 2/3 remote, this one will take a little getting used to. The TV Power and TV Input buttons are below the Instant Replay and Skip buttons instead of in the upper left corner of the keypad, and the Window/Aspect button is moved up to where the TV Power button should be. The slider normally used to switch between controlling 2 Tivos selects between controlling the Tivo and controlling the TV (which means only that the Channel Up/Down button controls the TV tuner when the slider is pushed to the right.) You actually can control two Tivos with this remote but it's complicated; you must reprogram the remote each time you want to switch devices. This product does, however, control the TiVo without requiring you to point the emitter directly at the DVR and all other keys have familiar positions and functions.
- This remote was exactly like the one that came with our system. Service was very good from this third party seller and we are very happy.
Thanks

I bought this not knowing if it would work with my Direct TV Tivo box. It works perfectly, if anything my Tivo seems a bit more responsive to remote commands. This remote is a metallic grayish=silver not the black as pictures.
This was a great value @ $9.99 compaired to prices double that and more on Ebay at the time.

5 comments about Denon ASD-1RBK iPod Docking Station (Black Finish).
- The Denon iPod docking station works as described. I am happy with this purchase.
- I purchased this locally from a brick/mortar store. It seems to be $129 wherever I look, so it made sense not to pay shipping.
I hooked it up in just a few minutes to my Denon AVR988 and it works as advertised. It's one of the reasons I bought the iPod in the first place.
- Plugged it in, set it up in the Denon 2807 menu, and it worked. Able to display Video on my TV and sound through the speakers attached to my receiver.
- Plugged right into my Denon receiver and allows you to control the iPod with your remote, and keeps it charges to boot. Pretty cool!
- My I-Pod works great with it. Didn't use the adapters, just left my cover on and plug it in and jam.

5 comments about One For All URC 9960 Kameleon 8-Device Upgradeable Universal Remote Control.
- Some people complain about the battery life in this thing, but i use the 15 minute rechargables from rayovac and it doesn't bother me. Batteries need recharging about once or twice a month - no biggie. It does seem pretty sensitive to motion, it tends to come on even when it's on a solid surface and i walk by about 5 feet away. Overall it's a pretty cool product - i wish it had some more buttons (like delete for the PVR) and i wish macro programming were a bit more accessible/intuitive (still haven't figured that out, but haven't really spent any time at it). I like it, tho - all our stock remotes are in the drawer not getting used any more.
- Product does not have the code of my old home theater,new TV and DVD player, called customer service, she downloaded the software (through phone), entered the code..then the remote works like a charm. Now I only have one remote for the whole home theater system.
- This remote is awsome, when no other universal remote had a code for my Limited edition Sylvania HDTV i was upset but when i found out that i couldnt even get a universal remote to work wtih my sony 5DVD player/amplifier/ reciever i became ver fustrated i came online to see what u could find for learning remotes and this one hit every key without a problem now instead of fussing around with 4 remotes to get a good HD movie playing with all the sound i just simply use the Kameleon Its awsome and i love its modern look. I only give it 4 stars because after eading some of the other reviews i dont doubt for a second that this remote is going to eat and swallo batteries ... but definatley worth it.
- I had and earlier model but the battery cover broke. This is a great
remote. Operates more than enough devices. I have it set up to operate
my highhat ceiling lights that are on an ir wall switch. Only problems I have with the unit is I can't seem to adjust the time it stays on. No matter what length I set, it will only stay on for about 8 seconds. Also,
I have it set up to come on with a button push instead of vibration sensor. I seem to recall in other reviews that people were chagrined that they had to push twice, once to turn it on then again to select a function. I would like it that way to prevent erroneous inputs since you
can't see which buttons are underneath 'til they light up. But it seems that on mine it will input whenever you press...a minor annoyance. I just push at the bottom where the setup button is and it will turn it on. Overall, A great remote.
- the whole idea behind my buying this item was to control my entire home theater system. after struggling with the information install it was discovered that the kameleon DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY DVD RECORDERS. be aware of this before plunking down any money for this item....very disappointing...

5 comments about Dirt Devil M0212CA Kone Illuminated Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, White.
- This was given as a gift and the recipient loves it -handy, light weight and effective
- I was skeptical at first based on looks - it is an odd looking vacuum cleaner. But looks aren't everything, and this cleaner really works well. It is a little noisy, but its suction matches its growl. The base makes a great nightlight and also makes the vacuum readily accessible on something you don't mind leaving out in plain sight. Cleaning the filter is easy. Overall, I would say that this is the best handheld we have purchased since the demise of our old original Dustbuster from Black & Decker.
- This is a GREAT hand vac, especially for the price Amazon offers it. My only complaint is that Dirt Devil doesn't make the Kone available with the nightlight feature in any other color... and that isn't Amazon's fault.
- I just bought this - I do like it a lot. The best thing about it is the lack of cord, that it is lightweight, and pretty cute as vacuums go!
After reading the reviews here I was surprised by three things: (1) it is not as loud as I expected - there are much louder hand-helds; (2) the one I got which was the only one the store had in stock was chrome-ish color ("champaign," maybe), and certainly does have the little light feature. It shows up like magic from the internal space of the upper cone when you plug it in (neat)! (3) unfortunately, it is not as powerful as I was expecting.
Other disadvantages: it does need frequent emptying (especially if you've got a shedding dog), but this takes half a second. And it does blow away the stuff you are trying to vacuum up to some degree (a complaint I saw in the other-color reviews).
The best: it is so easy to just pick up/turn on/suck up some dog hair or little messes, and for vacuuming stairs, that I am way cleaner than my normal lazy self has previously allowed! Worth it if your expectations are moderate.
- I am a designer and was really taken by the simple elegant design of this vacuum cleaner... its nicely made and looks good lying around the house. But when it comes to function, its fails completely... pretty much all the dust i have tried to pick up with this vacuum cleaner stayed put and its also extremely noisy. If it was not so cheap I would have returned it.....

3 comments about Targus TSB07501US 15.4-Inch League Backpack.
- I despised lugging my 17in laptop in its shoulder strap case across campus. Initially I wanted a SwissMade backpack, which are carried in Best Buy. However when I checked it out, it couldn't fit my laptop, and I was surprised how small the bag was. The price was high as well. Instead I ordered this Targus and was pleasently surprised. The built-in laptop case easily carried my 17in laptop, although now it carries my 15.4in equally comfortably. It has two waterbottle holders, carries all my books, is very well made, and has several layers of pockets. I use it for school, for vacationing, and for hiking; it suits all the above purposes very well. It makes carrying my laptop for long distances much easier. Highly recommended.
- It's much more than what you see in the pictures, the two main zippers are as big as the backpack itself and the second one has 2 extra compartments where you can carry a great deal of things... It's very light weighted and very confortable... and for that price I'd buy two more if I had more than one pair of shoulders... ;)
I bought this for college, so if you were looking between this and other targus backpacks for that purpose I strongly recomend this one because of the size, the other backpacks are as good... but they were too big or too expensive for my taste...
- I bought this backpack laptop case for my son, who begins college in the fall. First of all, amazon's shipping is once again nothing short of incredible. I ordered this yesterday morning, and it came this morning. It was shipped via the free shipping offer. Way to go, Amazon.
As to the bacpack, it is a really nice product. Targus is known for not making junk... and this is no exception. It is made very sturdy, has logical storage compartments, and the zippers/pulls are quality (should last a long time). This will be a nice tool for him to carry his MacBook Pro to and fro with.
If you are looking for a good laptop backpack, this one delivers! Now hopefully he will do well in his frosh year of college. 2 graduated, to in college and 1 in hs... life is movin' along!

5 comments about Gamecube Power Adapter.
- Long story short: DON'T BUY THIS ADAPTER, IT WILL FRUSTRATE YOU.
The Intec brand gamecube power adapter has different specs than the official nintendo one. The official adapter provides 3.25amps of DC output. The Intec one is only rated for 2.75amps. Becuase the Intec ones doesn't provide sufficient power, sometimes the gamecube won't spin up your game disk. Especially after playing for a long time and then changing disks. This is probably due to the power adapter warming up (as all power adapters do). The annoying part is that it seems you can only get the nintendo branded adapter from [...]. Oh well.
- I got a gamecube a year ago and I bought one of these. About 2 months after I bought it it broke. So I got online and got another one. After a few months this one broke. DO NOT BUY... GET ORIGANAL NINTENDO ADAPTER NOT INTEC!!!!!!
- When I first bought this, it worked just fine. Then, a month or two (maybe three) I took my Gamecube to my aunts house and it wouldn't start up. I had to mess with it a little (I didn't do that before it started acting weird). When I got home, it was completely shot. I highly recommend NOT buying this! If you don't want to get another dud or a new system (a 360, Wii, or PS3), go straight to Nintendo and buy that.
- I received this product quickly and it was in good condition. I was a bit afraid when I saw that it was a power supply for the Japanice GameCube, but the power output was almost the same 100 (JPN) vs 120 (USA) but it worked fine when I connected it.
Next time please provide that type of information in your item description.
- mine got hit by lightening, this one is better than mine because it has a ready green light, thanks!!1

5 comments about Notebook Cooler, Silver, ZM-NC2000.
- I got this to replace a cheaper,flimsier, noiser product based on Zalman's quality PC coolers plus reviews for this product here and elsewhere. I use my laptop for intense computation and it gets very hot even with cooling.
The Zalman is slick and quiet and pretty and it doesn't cool worth beans. With the Zalman the CPU temp was reaching 80C on a regular basis. Tried spacers to increase airflow and that merely decreased the frequency the alarm went off.
Bottom line: the cheap Targus keeps it cooler by more than 10 degrees C. Very disappointed with the Zalman and am shipping it back.
- Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3EF1JB44WUNOO GameDemo.TV chills out with Zalman's ZM-NC2000 Ultra Quite Notebook Cooler. Highlights fits large laptops i.e. Dell's XPS M1730 but requires us to use it backwards for vents to match fan placement. We do highend gaming and it greatly reduces the number of times the laptop fan comes on.
If this video review is of help to you, please consider using our Amazon store. Google GameDemo.com Amazon Store - search your item there.
Thanks
Kevin
- It's almost same as Zalman NC1000, but it is bigger
so if you need more information of this product you can read review of nc100
IF you have 15.4 inch laptop or bigger buy nc2000
if you have 14.1 or smaller buy nc1000.
when I touched I felt coool. Aluminum was really cooler than plastic cooler
there are 2 usb ports and cooler via usb, so you will get one usb port
it's expensive but durable. read review of the other product. you can find a lot of 1 star review.
worth to buy.
- Made of aluminum surface, the product feels sturdy and of quality. The up draft is evenly spread and works well with my HP dv6449us. Fan noise is noticeable only at high speed. I still feel it need not be this pricey, hence the four stars instead of five.
- I just bought one of these things (a ZalmanZM-NC2000). It certainly looks nice, and the Dell XPS M1710 sits on it nicely. (It's a 17" laptop - fan intakes on the bottom in the back.)
There are only two problems.
1) It doesn't cool the laptop. (I monitor temps, and it made no difference.)
2) It's VERY uncomfortable on your lap - the rear aluminum frame cuts across your legs.
Oh, yes. If you put it on your lap, you cover the fan inlets (the temp monitoring I did for 1 above was on a table.)
So unless your looking for an expensive way to prop your laptop on your desk, look elsewhere for a solution to the hot lap problem. What a waste of money.

2 comments about Dvi To HDmi Cable 6FT M-m.
- I got my new HDMI-to-DVI cable and immediately connected it between my Toshiba up-converting DVD player and a Samsung 56" DLP TV. The picture is wonderful.
I don't see any point in spending more for a Monster cable when this one is available for a lower cost.
I have more than 20 years of experience as an electronics designer and manufactuing engineer. This cable would easily meet my quality standards.
- Like many of the reviewers, i was skeptical about the incredibly low price. But what the heck, it's only a couple bucks. I compared the picture using store-bought cables and these and there is no difference. Had them for about 3 weeks now so i can't comment on durability. I love this cable though. Used to have gobs of wires running to my TV, now only one.
Product was shipped quickly too.

5 comments about Car + Home Wall Charger for Sandisk Sansa Clip 1GB, 2GB.
- This product does not work. If possible, I would give zero stars.
I was dumb and gave a positive feedback based on the low price and quick shipping before I tried it.
Do not buy.
- I bought these chargers for my daughter's 1 GB Sansa Clip. Neither will charge it. Plus, the car charger broke (wire came out of plug-in) after a few attempted uses. Not even worth one star.
- I bought this hoping it would charge my Sansa Clip. It doesn't work at all. I even went as far as to try different outlets and it doesn't charge.
- I got this bundle thinking "I got a great deal" right? WRONG! The chargers don't work with my Sansa Clip 2GB. The light comes on and the charging screen pops up and everything but once you unplug you notice that there is no charge, even if left over night charging on the wall charger. And the car charger I just don't know some times it charges and other times it does not. So if you are thinking of buying it you might want to think again...
- Didn't work. Shows connected but doesn't charge. BargainCell is misrepresenting the product big time. JUNK.

5 comments about 6FT Digital Camera Cable USB MINI-B 5-pin for SONY/CANON/HP/OLYMPUS.
- This cable does work with these cameras but not much more. Hooking up other USB-connected devices such as cellphones may be a problem. My Motorola Razr was seen by my computer but it could not make a connection to the Motorola Phone Tools software. Had to get a different USB cable for that application. Still it is the cheapest cable I could find to work with my camera which is exactly what it does well.
- This was real inexpensive compared to much higher priced alternatives, and it works fine with the camera. I'm real satisfied.
- Very prompt and courteous service. I had my address wrong and, for a $1 item, they e-mailed and called me to correct my address.
Recommended
- I purchased this cable as a replacement cable to download pictures from my Canon Powershot A620. The cable works fine and connects the USB port in my computer to the Canon A620's port.
- I needed a cable to take to work for my MP3 player. This worked great. No problems.
