Excellent, crisp clean sound
By A Customer
With a budget of $300, I shopped around for minisystems, listening to products from Panasonic, JVC, and Sony. Panasonic systems tend to have a muffled sound. I quickly ruled them out. The JVC GT88 has a slightly tinny sound, but the JVC Z10 is better and has excellent bass. However, this Sony really has the best overall sound. JVC just had good bass - the sound from above seemed to get lost. The Sony has the best quality sound and costs $100 less than the JVC. Music lovers, this is your system. Rap/Metal Listeners or anyone who just wants bass, go for the JVC GT88.

Additionally, out of all the systems I looked at, the Sonys have the best overall appearance. The rest are way too gaudy. This unit is simple yet attractive.

Sony MHC-GX45 - A great deal for $200.

Bass will rock your socks
By J. Moscatello
I wanted some extra bass, after craving the punch sound from my old Aiwa unit, which provided me 8 years of listening pleasure. I thoroughly tested this unit with several cd's i own in Target. I had to take a step back at a volume level of 8 (less than half). This unit blew my mind. It has several equalizer settings, plus if bass gets too much, you can turn the sub off and it still sounds great.

Celestron SkyMaster 25X100 ASTRO Binoculars
By L. Olson
BACKGROUND:I am an amateur astronomer and Vice President of the local Astronomy club. I ownseveral pairs of large binoculars and have looked through many more. My needs werebeautiful images of deep sky objects at a price I could justify. The Celestron 25x100Skymaster Binoculars meet those needs.GENERAL COMMENTS:The binoculars arrived July 2004 and had a collimation error of about 1 degree (verybad collimation). Celestron support was contacted at the request of Amazon supportand confirmed what I already knew, factory repair was required. I lacked the skillsand equipment to collimate and refill with nitrogen. Amazon promptly picked up thebroken pair and delivered a new pair in just a few days. What a difference a few daysmade. The new pair was packaged inside a secondary box and arrived in pristinecondition. Daytime collimation was excellent. We tested the binoculars afterastronomy club on a distant lighted sign and found them to be essentially flat to theedge of the field of view with a minor vignetting at the edge. Everyone was impressedand several members wanted a pair. During the club meeting I suggested thateveryone who wanted a $500 pair of binoculars for $250 needed to go to Amazon andpurchase one before the price went up.I sky tested the binoculars a few nights later and they performed very well. I had onlyabout 20 minutes till the clouds took over. Due to the high humidity and generallypoor observing conditions we were unable to use the binoculars for an extended timeand get a really good test.A tripod is pretty much required for astronomical observing although you can lay onyour back and observe the zenith. You have to hold your breath and squeeze up tightto get a steady image. I was able to hand hold the binoculars during daylight andlook at distant trees, etc. It was very difficult to hold the binoculars with one hindwhile adjusting the focus with the other. Leaning the binoculars on a steady objectsuch as a fence would probably work. Note that not just any tripod will work (readbelow), so if you used these in the field you will be packing a lot of weight. Irecommend that they be used pretty close to home or car.CONCLUSION:But, based on what I have already seen, this is the best buy for the money I havemade for astronomical equipment.CAVEATSI highly recommend purchasing these if:1. you can handle the weight (these puppies are heavy)2. you want to see bright images of distant objects3. you can deal with lack of center focus (not good for moving objects)4. you are very careful not to jar them out of collimation (big binoculars are easily knocked out of collimation5. you want excellence, and also a bargain (better binoculars are available for an order of magnitude more money. 6. you have a sturdy tripod (I have a Bogen which cost over $100 25 years ago and it seems barely adequate).IRRITANTS:1. First pair arrived in only the product box and I suspect that may have contributedto the collimation problem. You should be ready to send a pair back if they do notdeliver a good image.2. the "built in" 1/4-20 threaded adapter which attaches to the tripod head isundersized and has movement. There is a single screw which was not tight on bothpairs which when tightened would slow the play of the center shaft. There is a plasticsleeve between the adapter and the shaft which had play and this could not beremoved (again, same problem with both pairs). When the know was tightened to themax the binoculars were still not very snug. The result is that if there is anyunbalance in the weight on the tripod then the adapter is unable to hold the weight ofthe binoculars and the binoculars will swing to a more balanced position. I believe thatthe solution to this problem is to build one of the "binocular holders" seen in "Sky &Telescope" or "Astronomy" magazines which will hold the binoculars steady whileproviding a counter balance. Otherwise, you will have to be extra careful. Also, thetightening know should be larger for people like me who do not have the strength ofsuperman.3. there is an old adage that the mount is half the price of the telescope. A mountwhich fully supports the binocular tubes at both ends would perform better than theinadequate mount provided. For those mechanically inclined, the solution is straightforward and inexpensive. It could take 10-15 hours of time (at least for me).

Grab one while they last!!!
By Tom Hannigan
I have been using these Binocs for about 6 months now and find them a genuine joy everytime I bring them out. On a recent autumn evening from a hotel balcony overlooking a golf course I was able to take in a marvelous variety of deep space objects. The sky was fairly dark- but by no means out in the country- and I saw the beauty of M4, M8, M20, M26, M16, M13,M31, M27,... and more. These are definitely Astro binoculars. They do need a tripod. You focus each eye individually. And there is some fade out in sharp focus as the eye reaches the outer edges of the field of view. This is not something I get worried about for $250. Maybe $1250. I have a Sunpack heavy duty photo tripod that goes for about $80 at Best Buy, and I use the Sunpak adapter to attach the Celestron. It is NOT the sturdiest set-up, but I found that I put the tripod into some very warped positions (one leg sometimes) and walk it around for better views. I can fit the entire Plaeides into the FOV and the view of the Orion Nebula shows nearly the entire swrd. Glorious!! And one more thing- because the eyepieces focus individually, you don't have to worry about collimation issues. I had ordered a Skymaster 15x70mm that were so out they gave me a headache to look through them. I did get another pair, however, and they were fine.I don't know why Amazon has this listed within Toys- it's one heavy toy. Educational and fun, but not for a child. Just wanted to note that as a safety issue.

Don't spend too much for an expensive tripod
By O. Cherkezian
It is a good binocular for the money. I have a 4 inch telescope also, but this bino has wider angle and is easier to stargaze. When both eyepieces are set on a wider view, I am getting double vision. Maybe my eyes, or out of collimation. When eyepieces are closed where you only see one circle with both eyes, then there is no problem. However, the most important thing to know is that you must have a heavy duty tripod. If I had researched in advance that a heavy duty tripod is a real must for this bino, I wouldn't buy it. Because those tripods can cost more than the binocular. After researching and testing the tripods at the photo shops, I finally bought "Slik Pro 700 DX" tripod on the net for $140. It was indeed a good decision.

Great, powerfull and compact binoculars for a nice price
By Victor Gavrilenko
I bough these to replace my older Meade and Exakta binoculars which require collimation now (image from 2 lenses don't overlap anymore so all objects appear double). Celestron Outland provides great images during day observations (landscape, birds) and when looking at night sky (nice view of moon, can see more stars and some nebulas).Pros:- impressive optics with great clarity- compact size for its 10x42 magnification and field of view- long eye relief, good field of view (315 ft at 1000 yds)- adjustable 2.25"-3.0" distance between eyes, suitable for many face sizes- eye caps are attached via straps and don't get loose- focusing wheel adjusts focus at must faster rate than on other binoculars, so only slight turn in wheel is usually enough to set focus and fine adjustment takes just couple seconds- I've seen these binoculars in a local store where they underwent months/years of wear-n-tear and abuse by testers and they still have nice overall look and lenses still stay aligned so images for both eyes overlap fine for nice 3D picture.Other:- 2 sets of straps - one for carrying case and one for binoculars- small microfiber cleaning cloth included (removes dust and fingerprint smudged)- soft neoprene carrying case is think but it's just a soft case so I'd not drop binoculars to the bottom of 10+ lbs backpack along with other stuff.

The Kayakers' Friend
By Giordano Bruno
These are the binoculars I carry when I kayak, canoe, or raft. They've been in and under water in the far North Pacific, the Atlantic, the fjords of Southern Chile, Lakes Superior, Ontario, Kabetogama, Yellowstone, and a lot of smaller ones, as well as deep under the Green River and the Colorado River. They're still completely functional. Good optics, good feel in the hand. If you have any interest in bird-watching from a boat, these are what you need. And the price is decent. One word of advice, based on experience; stick to Nikon, Canon, and Celestron, and avoid Bushnell like the plague.

Great find, high value binocular, bright clear optics.
By Ned Skin, Sr.
Really good quality binocular with features found in very expensive models. The eye caps stay attached, via hinged straps. I wear glasses and like the fact the eye cups rotate out of position and don't just fold over. I am very impressed with the clarity of the optics. I also have a pair of Steiner Marine binoculars for use while we're sailing. These fill the bill for high quality, toss in the suitcase, keep in the car, use everyday binoculars.No downsides at all.

Sturdy and powerful but not so versatile
By Bryan Jensen
The Dozer is one of the less useful construction vehicle within the Rokenbok world, and my main reason for limiting my rating of the vehicle. The bonus recycling center adds to the value of the vehicle, and integrates well into a Rokenbok setup as far as processing the red and blue balls. The sorting feature of the barrels (set comes with 20 barrels) is cute but of little use, as there are no additional Rokenbok accessories for processing barrels, aside from the warehouse that comes with the Forklift vehicle. And in that case, that set comes with all the barrels you need. The Rokenbok system is about moving and sorting balls, so the recycling center is a moderate value as an addition to your Rokenbok world.Where we have found the dozer excels is in vehicle-to-vehicle battles. It's tread and low to the ground design makes it useful for tipping over your enemy. And this is a natural way to want to play with the Rokenbok vehicles, even with Rokenbok offering a battle area as an Internet store exclusive. If this more competitive side of Rokenbok play interests your child then add the Dozer to your collection. Otherwise for construction play I'd recommend the Power Sweeper , Monorail or Forklift first.

Dozer can be a useful vehicle if used correctly
By Aaron Blood
My kids really like this little dozer.I disagree with the poster who said this vehicle has little use. It can be very useful if you design your buildings to take advantage of its strengths. One method of integrating the dozer is to limit vehicle access to the ball elevator and put the green dozer ramp right up next to it. Essentially it becomes the dozer's job to load the elevator. This way your kids can work as a team to keep the balls moving. The dumptruck or train can unload in a ball pen area where the dozer can work.Remember, the dozer has treads. It can overcome obstacles (like beams) that would prohibit access of wheeled vehicles. Another under utilized feature of the dozer is it's ability to corral stray balls in the work area. One of the action buttons lifts and lowers the dozer blade which allows stray balls to be trapped beneath the dozer. You can then reposition the ball by driving around on flat surfaces. Aside from the sweeper, it's the only vehicle that can perform cleanup duty.

Most realistic Probuilder
By Bacon
Ok. I have this Probuilder. It is an amazing Probuilder. It is the most durable and the most fun Probuilder. Unlike some Probuilders, you can play with this Probuilder a lot without breaking. And it's as close as you can get to the action of racing.

P.S. If you want "head to head" racing action, you should buy the other Formula 1 racer (the red one)

Good set but...

This is a nice set from Mega Bloks. It will take hours to put together since this is a large model. However, be aware that the sides and top of the trailer are not plastic. It is made of a thin piece of cardboard.

Such a pleasure (and so easy)
By Monica Graham
I bought my Bodum milk frother thinking I was buying a nice TOY but I was not really expecting a lot. With a little bit of practice (4-5 times, 2 minutes per time), I found myself enjoying the most delicious capuccino I had ever been able to prepare.The froth is soft and fluffy - I could never achieve this with my expresso machine.Just one advice - use really hot milk for best results and enjoy !
