This scale is amazing, I’d pay much more for it. It has a cool design with a very accurate and neat design. The customer service at EatSmart is amazing. Not one bad thing I can say about this product.

The software on my drive (purch Apr 2010) does not force an installation of Smartware. There is now an option to not install the software, which then leads it to only install drivers. It does not prompt for the software install after that and shows as a straight drive that I could drag and drop onto. One nice feature is the drive will power down if the computer is turned off or the usb cord unplugged. Then it turns on automatically when the computer is turned back on, or is plugged into another computer.

See below for a way to enable password protection of the drive without leaving Smartware installed.

The virtual CD can be turned off from within the software, or through a separate download from the WD website. It turned off, then back on just fine. Other people mentioned formatting the drive to get full capacity afterwards, but I didn’t try that. Instructions for how to do that are at the WD website.

One thing to clear up is the people saying the virtual CD takes up 70 GB. It takes up less than 500 MB. The 70 GB apparent deficiency relates to the way Windows reports hard drive sizes, not the virtual CD.

A 1 TB drive does not show up as 1,000 GB, but rather as 931 GB in Windows. Right click any drive (or even a file) and go to properties and compare the capacity in bytes to the capacity in MB or GB right next to it. They are not the same. I think you have to divide 1 TB by 1,024 to get how many KB it is, then by 1,024 again to get how many MB, then 1,024 again to get how many GB. So 930 GB for this drive is really 1 TB, minus about 1GB due to the file structure and virtual CD. Again, it does appear you can re-format and claim back the space the virtual CD space back, but I kept it for a specific reason I’ll mention later.

After I verified it worked as a straight drive, I tried Smartware. The main problem with Smartware is there’s no way to selectively backup certain folders or even just pick a different backup interval besides continuous backup.

I bought this scale because my old one would give you a different reading every time you stepped on and off. I was on the HCG diet and really needed accuracy. I read the reviews and chose this one, and it is perfect! It looks great…and it is extremely accurate and simple to read and use.

Three thumbs up!

It almost vacuums by itself! The power is amazing. I was so impressed when I turned it on and I could watch the dust around where I was vacuuming getting pulled up and I wasn’t even vacuuming on the area it was sucking from. I love it. Great buy, and great vacuum. Thank you Hoover for creating a great affordable product!

I’ve used a few different types of SteamVac’s and really like this one. It has 2 plastic containers (clean/dirty) vs. 1 plastic (clean)and 1 bag (dirty). This makes is VERY EASY to maintain and clean during use.

I have been looking for a good digital scale at a reasonable price for a while. Finally placed order of the EatSmart glass top scale on Amazon last week. The package was delivered this morning and I could not wait to open the box to weigh myself. So I immediately took the scale out of the box, found the included AAA batteries, and opened the cover of the battery case, hoping to try the scale right away. However, to my surprise, one of the springs that hold the batteries in the battery case is missing! Thus the batteries can not form a close circuit (and hence no power to the scale). There is no loose spring in the original box nor the Amazon package. The packing of the scale seems to be original. Unless I unluckily got a returned defected item, I conclude that the spring was missing when the scale left the manufacturer’s warehouse. I am very disappointed by the poor quality control of EatSmart. I will return the item to Amazon.

So basically, I got a defected scale that does not work at all. If you aren’t as unlucky as me, you will have the chance to at least test the scale and maybe you will like it.

Kathryn Stockett’s debut novel The Help has quickly raced up the bestseller list. Stockett intertwines the lives of three ordinary characters living in Mississippi during the 1960s.

Miss Skeeter, a young college graduate, returns to her hometown only to discover her maid and good friend, Constantine, has disappeared and no one will explain what happened. Miss Skeeter’s mother wishes she would focus on finding herself a respectable husband rather than finding her childhood maid.

Aibileen is a black maid who is raising her seventeenth white child just years after losing her own son. Aibileen is the maid to one of Miss Skeeter’s friends.

Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is known for her sassy mouth and for being the best cook in Mississippi. Minny’s mouth has cost her many jobs as a maid, but she has finally managed to keep a job with a white woman who harbors many secrets of her own.

This novel takes readers through a journey of the South when racial tensions are high. Within this setting, these three women begin a secret project that puts their lives at risk.

This is a very good step tracker. I bought it for a fitness walking program at work. It tracks your steps very well without being over sensitive. It takes a bit to set it up but once the setup is complete, it is very easy to use. Seven day memory is a plus.
