First item that has ever held up to it's promise!! My Mercedes headlights had lots of oxidation, with a cloudy coat. Took it to dealer who charged $300 and hardly made a difference. Bought this kit and my husband and I each worked on a side- took about an hour and the lights look brand new!! I would recommend this product to anyone. It does take longer than the 30 minutes it says on the box but it's well worth the time spent.

These front mud guards were delivered early. They fit my Toyota Tacoma 2009 good and were a bit shorter than the stock mud guards, and I think the shorter length is better. I lost my right side guard due to off road travel in the snow. I replaced both to match and all of the stock screws fit. For my year Tacoma there are three screws and three plastic circular clips. The screws were still intact; the clips were gone. I knocked off a 'star' for two reasons: I had to add the third hole (drill) for the middle clip; and the included hardware (three screws with metal clips) was not useful for the 2009 Tacoma. I went to a Toyota dealer and bought the plastic clips for about $1.20 each.

I had a WD My Book Duo RAID-1 USB 3.0 only unit with two WD Red 2 TB drives in it and a two Mac machine household. Well I was having to leave one of the Macs with the connected enclosure fully powered up 24/7 without sleeping/Power Nap for Time Machine backups to occur from the second Mac. I also had an old draft 802.11ac router that I've had to reboot several times lately making me think it is on its way to dying. So, I thought, wouldn't it be great if I could get a new 802.11ac router with a USB 3.0 port and native Time Machine capability. Than I can let the Macs Power Nap and wake up only when they want to do a backup or we are using them. This router appeared to fit the bill perfectly.

I have been using Nioxin cleanser for 6 years and have lost perhaps an inch of my hair to my forehead. I definitely believe I have kept more hair than would have happened without using this product daily. Be warned, the first month you will shed out dead hair and it will freak you out. You will start to wonder if the shedding will ever stop. It does and that hair was going to fall out in the next few months anyway. This product just hurried it along. On the other hand, it also saves the hair that is just about to die from clogging up. So the sooner you start using the product the better. Just to review, you will lose some hair rapidly for 2-3 weeks and feel dumb for using this stuff. Then you will keep your remaining hair for years longer by using it from then on. You have to be patient and trust that it works. The sooner you get started the more hair you will keep into your 40s and 50s. Good luck fellow hair thinner.

For very little money this is a very good place to start if you have any interest what so ever in home brewing. I am on my 3rd Mr. Beer batch. I have learned a great deal about brewing for very little initial money. Yes, there is a good chance that if you love home brewing you will move up to a 5-gallon kit, but even then, no real money lost with this inexpensive kit, mostly paying for the beer mixes which you will drink so not wasted. Yes, there is a good chance you could mess up or just not like the quality of beer made and again little lost on this purchase. For me, I like the 2-gallon size. I like the creating and brewing as much as the drinking, so 5-gallon batches would be too much for me (although following economics of scale it is cheaper per gallon). Some of the older reviews (pre 2013 or so) refer to the old Mr. Beer style equipment and beer batches. I never tried those but "most" agree the new Cooper's stuff is better. This is a hobby (like most actually) that you will get back what you put in. If you just want to add water, mix and drink a few weeks later, you probably don't care much about the beer you drink or you will be greatly disappointed. If you want to learn how beer is made, understand the basics and slowly learn to expand you abilities and the beer you make, this kit will work fine. I am now adding hops and malts and steeping grains in a standard Mr. Beer batch, none of which are required, but also very possible to enhance and customize your final product. There is a pretty good amount of info online and dedicated Mr. Beer group eager to answer your questions and a good variety of beer mixes to choose from and experiment with (and once you know what you are doing you don't have to just use Mr. Beer ingredients, you can use any you like, scaled as needed). There may very well be better, larger, more expensive kits out there and of course you can spend 1000's on all grain brewing, but for bang for the buck and the POSSIBILITY (if you make the efforts and have patience (something you truly need a great deal of in this hobby)) of making some pretty good beer while you learn how deeply you want to take this hobby, this is a pretty good place to start and learn. I don't see myself replacing my kit anytime soon, just learning more about brewing and modifying my recipes.

Loved this book! First book I read by this author and it will not be the last. The story line was captivating. The characters are freaking awesome. The emotion Starling pulls from you throughout the book is unmatched. Highly recommend.

I ordered this item to take on a trip with me so I could make STRONG coffee in the land of watery coffee. I never did pack it because it is quite heavy - maybe 8 pounds or so. But is is a substantial item, and I plan on using it at Thanksgiving, when there are more dishes than I have stove burners!
