It works fine for 25% cost of the brand cartridge. It does not make sense that the
manufacturer charges almost as much for a single cartridge as I paid for the printer.

These are compatible as opposed to genuine Canon. The compatible companies claim to have comparable coverage as compared to genuine Canon products, but in our office this cartridge lasted for two weeks while an original Canon might last for three / four weeks.
Pros- the cartridges were quickly delivered. Even though I used the budget shipping I received the package well within the posted times. The cartridges worked well right out of the box.
Con - shorter life span.

This desk accessory is hilarious and great! It's actually pretty bigger than it looks like and it's really sturdy. It comes with the tape and the clips so, a big plus there! Also, it fits almost any pen size in it's mouth (of course, not the chubby pen kind.
Great office decor!

Love this butt!, May 16, 2010

This review is from: The Butt Station Desk Accessory Holder (Kitchen)

Great gift. No, fantastic gift! All my co-workers are stopping by and asking where did I get it. It used to be my neighbor, the next cubicle who they love to say hello. All she has is a jar of candies on top of her desk - no fair. But now I got this butt station. They don't ignore me now like I stink or something. Who says tape dispenser can't be fun?

The butt station is made of quality thick plastic. Not the hard type but somewhat flexible. It is made up of 2 parts: The sitting figure which is the tape dispenser, and the toilet bowl for paper clips and a pen. The tape dispenser is surprisingly useful. I thought it will be just a novelty item that will sit on my desk as a mere decoration. It has a good grip, the cutter is on its feet and provide easy cutting for portions of tapes. Replacing a roll is also as easy as replacing a roll of toilet paper. Its butt is magnetized. No metal part is exposed yet strong enough to lift several paper clips from the bowl.

The thing that I don't like is that it is kinda light and tend to tip over. If the bowl is weighted at the base it would be perfect.

I bought the blue version of this item as a gift for my dad. When it arrived I was very surprised by the sturdy construction and overall quality of the product. The material is very smooth and doesn't show any seam lines so it looks very nice, it is a neat rubbery feeling material, not a hard cheap feeling plastic. The magnet with which you pull the paper clips from the toilet container is very strong (I kind of thought it would be weak for some reason). My dad absolutely loved the gift, it is definitely unique and great for anyone wanting to add a little conversation piece to their desk :) It's a great size and holds plenty of paper clips and pens, and it's a really interesting way to keep all of your commonly used desk supplies organized!

Update issues with MyTomTom and the GO 2535 World Traveler, April 27, 2011

Ken -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: TomTom GO 2535TM World Traveler 5-Inch Bluetooth GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic & Maps and Voice Recognition (Electronics)

I am writing this review in the hopes that it might save others some of the difficulty I've had setting up this GPS Navigator. There are many great features inherent in the 2535 TM WTE, which are discussed in these reviews and which I won't repeat. That does not imply that I dislike or prefer another unit. My issue has been associated with the update function of "MyTomTom" software. The original unit I purchased from Amazon.com and the subsequent replacement unit both failed after connecting and completing an update through MyTomTom on my home computer as the instructions directed. (not that it is part of the issue, but for reference, I am using a Mac running Mac OS X ver-10.6.7). On both occasions after the update completed there were no longer maps found on the 2535, and map updates are not yet available for this unit online. I spoke to TomTom tech support who tried their best to deal with the problem, but could only offer to replace the units. Today, with the second replacement unit, I contacted TomTom support prior to running an update to make sure I should be doing this. Fortunately the tech support person told me they are having problems with updates through MyTomTom and these units and suggested I not complete an update until the updating software is fully functional. He mentioned they have been experiencing the same problems I've described. I think the 2535TM WTE is a great unit with many excellent features and hopefully will be more functional once the online software is fully developed. It's regrettable that it is not at this point, but again, others have voiced their opinions in that regards. I will say that the TomTom support people tried very hard to fix the issues I was having. I've concluded they only became aware of the root of the problem recently.

On another note, I can't speak highly enough about the service and support Amazon.com have provided regarding this purchase. Their concern for these problems was genuine and without question they went above and beyond the normal response to remedy them. This, in part, is why I am writing this review. In the hopes that, not only will I save other customers the hassels I've dealt with, but to prevent inconveniences and needless returns on the part of Amazon. In my opinion, Amazon provides excellent service.

Comment on TomTom GO 2535TM 5-Inch Bluetooth GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic & Maps and Voice Recognition Reviews by David Bradshaw

Great device! The voice recognition is amazing also!, April 27, 2011

David Bradshaw (Georgia, USA) -

This review is from: TomTom GO 2535TM 5-Inch Bluetooth GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic & Maps and Voice Recognition (Electronics)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

This device is amazing! It offers so many features in such a compact device! The first thing to focus on is the beautiful 5" screen, which is showcased when you turn the device on and see the beautiful TomTom logo with the car in the city, the screen is large enough where you can easily see everything you need on the screen, but not too large, where it gets in the way.

This device's best feature (other then lifetime traffic and maps) is the voice recognition. I tried out a few phrases (using different wording) and it worked every time. -- If you have a problem wording commands it comes with a command list and you can view the commands within the device. There is an easy to use quick access button on the home screen that activates voice recognition, for example I said "Navigate to the nearest Hospital" and it found the nearest Hospital/clinic and spoke the time and distance it takes. You can also use simple commands like Cancel Route to stop and clear routes!

The device comes with the ability to connect to a cell phone and make calls using Bluetooth, and allows you to use voice recognition to active calls! --However, my vehicle already has Bluetooth, so I do not plan to use this feature, but if your car does not, then this is perfect since many states are moving to hands free only calling.

What makes this device stand out is the "Lifetime Traffic & Maps Edition" stated on the front of the box! When you open the box you have a voucher for Lifetime Maps, that you can use on the MyTomTom webpage/software, which if you have had a GPS in the past, you know that roads change way too often and maps are expensive. The power adapter (which is not standard USB, so no option of using other cables) has a receive built on it to enable live traffic updates, which means you have to have your TomTom plugged into the vehicle power adapter to utilize this feature -- no battery power.

The device has a redesigned user interface, which I like. It allows you to create 'shortcuts' (like to voice recognition, or parking garages and others [you are limited to what you can add, but it still is neat]) and has new graphics and alerts to help you stay safe and get to your destination fast!

The device is easy to setup and install in your car, use the windshield mount and turn the knob, also, this unit has an easier to use mount, the knob locks into place and is wider, making turning it easier, if you have had past TomTom units you will note they have a very small slippery lock to windshield mechanism.

After reading some other reviews, I wanted to explain some other features:

When I get in the car, it takes roughly 5 to 20 seconds to get a GPS signal, which is fine with me and seems normal (to me)...

I find the button to access the voice recognition adequate. It is on the driver side, it is not large, but if you placed a super large button on the screen it would block the map.

The GPS does not (to my knowledge, maybe there is a setting) have auto turn on. However, regardless, I drive a Ford, and Ford's power adapters do not power off when the car is turned off, they run all the time. Because of this I have to cut it off and on myself, which is not the devices issue, but I wanted to let everyone know all that I know about the device.

Like others have mentioned other device voices (non standard or computer), will not read street names. However, this is in all devices (TomTom devices).

I wanted to let you all know, just in case you have two TomTom devices, this was my second TomTom, and my first TomTom (which I am using in my other car) was registered to my email address, and when I uninstalled TomTom Home (which is not used by this device, follow the instructions on the Lifetime Map insert about MyTomTom) I registered my new TomTom (GO 2535TM) and it asked if I wanted to link to my account. I said YES, and activated the Lifetime Map access code. However, (I am starting to get off topic) when I installed TomTom HOME for my older device on another computer, I was told if I register my old device with my TomTom account (same email as I used for the new device), the old one will be removed, and I may not be able to go back to my Lifetime Maps. To remedy this I created a new account with a new email for TomTom, one for each device.

My only flaw is the new MyTomTom software (this device does not use TomTom Home), the software installs in Windows (or Macintosh), but uses your web browser to download items and alter your device. I like the TomTom Home better, but maybe they will improve the site and make it better than TomTom Home! If you are having problems getting the web page to connect to the device, try looking in your System Tray or Notification Tray (Next to clock in Windows) for the MyTomTom icon and check and see if it has found your device. If not try... Read more

Buggy, not ready for release version, April 27, 2011

Stephanie Mooney "reednowensmommy" (Dearborn Heights, Mi United States) -

This review is from: TomTom GO 2535TM World Traveler 5-Inch Bluetooth GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic & Maps and Voice Recognition (Electronics)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

If TomTom wanted Beta-testers, they would have had no shortage of volunteers. If TomTom had delayed the release of this item until it was fully functional, they would have had a few disappointed pre-order customers but otherwise happy users. However, charging customers the current price for a buggy product which is clearly not ready for sale is unacceptable. Selling this product in its current form is false advertising. Plain and simple.

I'll start with the positive:
1. The windshield mount is very nice. The twist/click suction cup works great and the magnetic dock is super simple to use.
2. The screen is nice and big. The graphics display nicely and are clear and easy to understand in a glance.
3. It gives directions. That IS why you want a GPS system, after all, isn't it? ;)
4. Unlike some other reviewers, mine finds its signal extremely quickly. It is ready to go long before I am (having to connect it to the dock and power cord, start car, check mirrors, etc).
5. It seems to do everything quickly. It recalculates my route within a few feet if I choose not to take its suggested turns. Scrolling through menus is quick as the page refresh is very fast.

Sorry, that's all I've got for pros. So far, I Just. Don't. Like. It.

Here's why:
1. The browser-based interface is glitchy. Sometimes it connects to my device right away. Sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a few times to get it to show up. Sometimes it goes right to the overview page (which contains only paragraphs about all the fabulous features which TomTom will release eventually but don't actually work yet and a link to non-existent accessories), sometimes my only option is to change my email address and password. I have to close and reopen my browser until it offers the full list of choices.
2. Unavailable features:
a. TomTom claims the voices read street names. While it's technically true that the DEFAULT voice reads street names, it is the only one. Spoken address recognition is only available with this voice as well (per the manual). You better hope you like Samantha.
b. Add-on voices don't work. They don't actually tell you this until after you've paid for them and call to ask why you can't get them to download onto your device. Then they "helpfully" offer to "try to refund" your money. Which will take 7-10 business days.
c. Home software. One of the advertised features is the ability to manage your device from your desktop. Then you call TomTom support because the software can't see your device and they tell you "never mind. You can't do that." No estimate on when any of these features will become available.
3. As other reviewers have mentioned, the button for voice control is VERY tiny. Almost impossible to hit accurately while driving without taking your eyes off the road while you do it, which defeats the purpose of voice control. A double-tap of the screen or larger button would have been a much better choice.
4. Menus could be condensed and reorganized for ease of use. Some of the options don't seem to make sense where they are.

5. Worst of all for me: Customer Support. TomTom thinks it's perfectly acceptable to advertise a product can do things it can't and charge people full price while they wait around for features that might work someday. I was told flat-out by a tech "TomTom releases a new device every 3 or 4 months. You can't expect all of the features to work on all of them before we release them." Yes. That's a direct quote. And yes TomTom, that's EXACTLY what I and the rest of your customers expect. If it doesn't work, don't take people's money for it. Period.

With business practices and products like this, I am appalled that TomTom is still in business. If you MUST buy a TomTom for some reason, you might want to consider a model that's been around awhile. Maybe they've gotten around to making it work by now.

Update 5/6/2011: After only owning this device a week and using it a handful of times, my unit died. I dropped it into the windshield mount and hit the power button while I buckled and backed out of the driveway and when by the end of my street (3 blocks) it was still on the start-up image, I was perplexed. I turned it off and back on with the same result. I left it on, thinking perhaps it was updating some database or something and would eventually move on, but when I arrived at my destination 20 minutes later, it was still displaying the startup image. A google search of reset instructions led me to hold the power button down for an extended period, which according to TomTom's service instructions, should have initiated a soft reset. Instead, it powered down completely and I have not been able to power it back on since. TomTom tech support confirms that there is clearly something wrong with this unit and have issued an RMA with a promise of a replacement... Read more

This review is from: Cheetah Mounts ALAMLB LCD TV Wall Mount Bracket with Full Motion Swing Out Tilt and Swivel Articulating Arm (Electronics)

I like this mount. It is strong and holds a 30" TV no problem. The extension is very nice and the tilt helps with the glare from the dome light in the ceiling. It can turn all the way to the side and lets the TV face the kitchen counter. Our TV used the inside holes which are VESA 100 but it has wider holes as well so we could use it for a larger TV in the future. A torpedo shaped level comes with it which is now a nice addition to the tool drawer. Basically really liked it. The only issue is the TV being level. The TV tilts just slightly to the right. Enough to bother me. Only annoyance on an otherwise good product.
Update: I called Cheetah about the TV not being level. It turns out the screw behind the TV which controls the tilt Also allows the TV to twist a little. Now our TV is level!

We just mounted a 26" LCD and this mount worked perfectly. Well constructed and super easy to install. Before purchasing I called the company to verify the TV would work with this mount, I was only on hold for a few seconds before speaking with a rep who was more than helpful. I highly recommend, especially at this sale price.

We have installed (2) of these mounts. (1) on a 26" LCD and (1) on a 32" LCD. Both installations were easy, with the product meeting expectations. The second mount we installed was missing a couple of minor parts so I sent a quick e-mail to Cheetah mounts. An hour later, I had the 2nd day air tracking number for the remaining parts. While it was frustrating to be missing the parts, I was amazed by the quick response.

Battery Problems, October 9, 2011

J. Koster (Phoenix, AZ) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Garmin nüvi 50LM 5-inch Portable GPS Navigator (US and Canada)) (Electronics)

The menus are very simple and easy to understand. Navigation is accurate. 5" display is plenty big enough. Reception is great. Only thing I would change is the voice option. There are 2 voices. The standard voice is a bit muddled and speaks street names. The other voice is much clearer but DOESN'T speak street names. I think you can download more voices online but I haven't tried that yet. Overall the GPS is well worth the 179 we paid.

UPDATE 1/5/2012: GPS is dead. Not powering up. Wasn't dropped or abused. Since new, the GPS has periodically lost the ability to power up while off the power cord, even though it was fully charged before it was turned off. Prior to it not working, the gps was plugged into the car and charging the whole time. While in the car, it's easy to know if power is lost to the unit because a warning message appears asking if I wish to power it off or keep it on. So we know the power cord works well. I called Garmin and they had me plug the unit into a computer and it powered on and showed a depleted battery. They claimed it was the power cord that was the problem and are sending another one for free. Meanwhile they asked me to keep it plugged into the computer for a full charge. I did that and used it on a 24 hr. trip with no problems so far. Just waiting for the unit to die again unexpectedly like it has done before so I can send it back under warranty. I think this unit has a battery problem that is intermittent or a short somewhere that kills the battery while it's off.

Best low end GPS I've ever used., September 2, 2011

Mark Wickersham -

This review is from: Garmin nüvi 50 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator(US and Canada) (Electronics)

I've been using GPS units for over a decade. My first unit was a Magellan hiking oriented unit. I ditched it after two weeks and got a Garmin hiking unit that lasted me 6 years. The UI was much better, and Garmin really seems to pay attention to that. When the Nuvi wide screen units came out, that was the price performance price to get me into a unit oriented for driving. I've had both the 200w and the 255w. The 200w was good. The 255w had subtle UI improvements such as the speed limit display.

The new Garmin 50 beats them hands down. It's larger, and for less money than the others when they were new. The 5" display makes a huge difference. In addition to the larger display, almost everything about the maps details, fonts for text info, icons and symbols all seem larger, beyond just scaling up for screen size. Everything is much easier to read at a quick glance. The bootup is much faster. The first couple of times, there's a rather annoying license click-through, but it goes away after that. It hasn't been back. There's a "safety mode" which tries to tell you what a bad idea changing settings while driving is. It's easy to override, and easy to turn off.

Lane assist! It works... Sometimes it's timing is a little off... If it triggers too early you can end up in a "disappearing lane". Too late, and it can be tough to get into the correct lane in time, so this feature isn't an easy one to get right. It's still a big help.

When approaching a critical intersection, the screen splits, and a "street view" of the intersection appears. A cartoon depiction. I was worried that this would be disconcerting. But it's not. It works. It's helpful. BTW, this size screen in a motorcycle-toughened unit would be FABULOUS. Just my view.

Excellent. My girlfriend loves it, she's in it every night for 20 minutes to a couple of hours. Several different settings, a lot of motion throughout your entire back.

It's not a "wall-hugger", so you need a couple of feet of open space behind it if you want to recline. It also sits very low to the ground (no legs or feet on the chair for some reason) so the shorter you are the more comfortable it is.

We bought this based on sitting in a friend's chair, she bought exactly the same model in 2003 and it's still going strong.

2580 is not worth the $$. Mechanically sound but downhill from there. Headrest is useless, chair is too low to the ground, seat itself is angled too steep such that rollers miss lowest part of the back, and the "finish" on the faux leather is terrible. On the arm rests and just about all of the seams the brown color has worn away leaving an orange and white appearance.

This GPS is 100 times better than my old GPS, the Garmin 750! Everything is a lot quicker now from finding satellites to scrolling on the screen. Plus, there's a whole bunch of great new features. Some examples are how it now tells you which lane to be in so you don't have to guess, the screen refreshes faster so it's easier to actually tell when to turn, the junction view is pretty handy, and apparently it shows you speed traps and red light cameras! Definitely a great buy.

Great chair for cost!, January 24, 2011

I purchased this directly from the manufacturer and not through Amazon. This chair is great overall for its price. It is not feature packed like the really expensive massage chairs but it works well and I mostly use the "percussion" massage mode. I think the chair I received has a slightly stronger right side massage than left but that is probably just my chair and I am right handed anyways so its ok with me to loosen that side up more.

If you are anywhere above average male height 5'10" then you will think the rolls don't reach high enough. It does recline however so it can reach much taller people in height.
