Customer Review: Nice compact unit, seems well made.
Nice compact unit, seems well made. Have found some words that do not translate right according to my Chinese friend. Reading through the included Chinese Idioms is very interesting. Backlight is a nice feature and the battery life is exceptional, we use it quite a bit and it still has the original batteries. Never tried the USB connectivity or audio capability. Drawbacks: Pronunciation clarity is a bit lacking, quite a drawback when trying to use it as a learning tool. No u (with oomlat) key for entering Pinyin spelling. A nuisance “boot time” every time the unit is powered on, maybe 10 seconds.
Customer Review: Good Beginner/Intermediate Chinese-English Translator
I purchased this translator after much research before coming to China to study Chinese. Many other brands were out of my price-range, so I was happy to have a more moderately priced model. I was also pleased that this translator was made for an English speaker learning Chinese, since many translators are made for a Chinese speaker learning English. Overall, I am very pleased with this translator. It is easy to use, a great size to fit in a purse, comes with an English manual, has a very easy interface, and does a pretty good job at translating. One reason I was particularly interested in this dictionary was for its whole sentence translation (both from Chinese/English and from English/Chinese). The translation is by no means perfect, but when you are trying to get a complex idea across to someone who may or may not even speak the main dialect of China, I have found it quite useful. Unfortunately though, it translates the sentence into characters and it is a little troublesome to find the pinyin. In other pros, I also appreciate the back light, the medical/business/law dictionaries (though they are not perfect), and the pinyin input. The voice pronunciation is adequate, and after hearing the voices on other dictionaries such as the well regarded Besta brand, I believe the AM101 is as good or better. The extras in this dictionary are minimal, though it does have a rudimentary Tetris game which brought back memories of my childhood. I was also disappointed to find out that it didn’t have an alarm. I have not used the MP3 function, though the voice recorder can be quite useful. Overall, I am pleased with my AM101 and would purchase it again. I think it is especially beneficial for beginner/intermediate Chinese learners and for people who want a translator while traveling to China. For a helpful video tour of this dictionary, visit the company’s website. One final note: If you are studying abroad in China, I suggest you consider buying a dictionary in China. Many of my peers have purchased a Chinese brand dictionary that has character recognition for a comparable price, and they are all very pleased with it.

Customer Review: Balerina Jewelry Box
I got this for my 3 year old Neice for Christmas. She was fascinated by it, and was still playing with it the next day. It was pretty durable as she slammed the lid and grabbed the Balerina a couple of times. I am not sure how it would hold up with a younger child. It was a great, affordable gift.
Customer Review: Make Your Granddaughter Happy
Purchased this small ballerina jewelry box for my granddaughter’s 5th birthday. She was fascinated by the revolving ballerina and of course it came in her favorite color, pink! Recently the children in her class at school were asked to bring in something from home that made them happy and she chose the little jewelry box!!!

Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it’s ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it’s always close at hand.
The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).

Customer Review: pedometer
Love this pedometer. The best feature is not having to clip it on your waistband. I just put it in my pocket and it works great.
Customer Review: A lot for little money
As part of a university weight loss study, I was given a pedometer that stopped working after about two weeks and many drops. But the pedometer concept really helped me to gauge how much (little) I moved throughout the day. So I went online to Amazon and found the Omron HJ-112. What a find! What a bargain! This nifty, no-frills pedometer is a workhorse. It does have a few nice extras; the HJ-112’s ability to register my aerobic steps challenges me to sustain a period of movement just so I can receive “credit” for aerobic exercise. I have lost 22 pounds in three months by reducing the total amount of daily calories consumed (not the type — still eat sweets) and MOVING MORE. The Omron HJ-112 is my new best friend, constantly monitoring my movement and encouraging me to move more when I haven’t met my step count goal. You will love this pedometer. And the string clip is a must. Although the pedometer may work itself loose, the string clip keeps the pedometer on your body. I’ve had the Omron HJ-112 for 3-1/2 months: I’m completely satisfied with its operation. It’s a great product!

Customer Review: pizza peel
Mario Batali The Italian Kitchen Collection Pizza Peel
Handle is long enough to reach the pizza from the hot oven and it folds for easy storage. I am glad that I purchased this one!
Customer Review: FOLDING HANDLE WON’T STAY TIGHT
I WAS VERY EXCITED TO ORDER THIS AS I EXPECTED GREAT QUALITY FROM SUCH A GREAT CHEF, UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I FIRST TRIED TO UNFOLD THE HANDLE I NOTICED THAT IT DID NOT PROPERLY FIT IN THE NOTCHED WOOD, HENCE MAKING THE SCREW UNABLE TO REMAIN TIGHTENED, DISAPPOINTING AS WITH A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO WHERE THE WHOLE WAS PUT FOR THE SCREW IT WOULD HAVE FIT AND BEEN QUITE USEFUL.
