Disclaimer: I have only been using this for 2 days and I will update this review if I feel I need to change it. I originally purchased this product over this product

I purchased this vacuum about 6 mos. ago in search of replacing my Bissell Pet Hair Removal vacuum. I wanted to wait in submitting this review until I had used the Shark for a fair amount of time. I had initially purchased the Bissell Pet Hair vacuum to help me with the carpet and carpeted stairs in my home. We have two dogs, a Min Pin and a yellow Lab, so the dog hair has various sizes and colors. Our house is carpeted almost throughout (except the tiled kitchen and entryway) in a dark forest green carpet. You can imagine how quickly and easily the yellow Lab hair shows on this dark carpet. I found the Bissell to be heavy and almost impossible to deal with on the stairs. The removable attachment hose was always detaching somewhere, while I was trying to use it on the stairs (either the pet attachment from the extension piece, or the extension piece from the flexible hose, or the flexible hose from the sweeper body. Nothing broke, but in pulling the hose up the stairs, something would inevitably pull out from their counterpart as there were no 'locking' mechanisms to keep these separate pieces together. I also found that the rotating brushes on the Bissell did NOT stop rotating as long as the sweeper was turned on. This resulted in the sweeper 'eating' the rubber coating on the sweeper cord while I was trying to pull the hose up the stairs and the sweeper would roll over the cord. The cord was attached to the lower part of the vacuum so I had to wrap the cord around the top extension hose holder, to keep the cord in reachable distance.

Why in the hell did it take me 9 years to buy this cd? After reading a magazine article and listening to a few tracks of this album on the internet, I decided to buy it. Wow, this album is truley great. I can't believe it was made a whole decade ago. The sounds they use I like alot. They are simple, but I love them. Songs like "Safe From Harm", "One Love", "Unfinished Sympathy", "Blue Lines", and "Five Man Army" are gems. The other songs are ok, but these alone are well worth your 14$ or whatever.

I've been post menopausal for the last 7 years. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and was forced to stop my hormone replacement therapy. That's when I had my first hot flash! I went to my Dr. and she suggested all natural "clean" creams which can be found at stores like whole foods or co-ops. I found a co-op that offered a few brands which I tried over the years. They helped, but this brand, Natural Woman, has been by far the best at controlling my hot flashes. Recently I ran out and went back to the store I've always purchased it at and they no longer carry it, so I found it online and can already tell the difference. The other creams just don't work as well for me and I'm so grateful I can now order it whenever I'm running low.

I have used this particular product for 2 cycles and I am very please with it. I find it best to put the power in my mouth and wash it down with water because it taste like fun dip. Initially I followed the directions and mixed it with water but I found a lot of residue going that route.
