Stansport Saddle Bag for Dog Save 12% off

Stansport Saddle Bag for DogI bought this as a pack for my Lab to participate in a charity dog walk. The morning of the walk we put 6 16oz bottles of water (3 per side)and a small towel in it to carry for us and hopefully (as Ceasar puts it) give him some more work. I put it on him several weeks ago when we got it to get him used to it. He wore it comfortably for about an hour so I''m confident we it had adjusted well. I tell him to wait by the door and go open the truck, call him to load up, he jumps in and the front strap disintigrates. Literally nothing left the webbing holding the buckle to the right side is gone. I look at the way this is sewn and its prety easy to see what happened. The webbing is looped to itself with one row of stitching, not sewn thru or around. It is also nylon or some marterial not condusive to use as webbing. I looked at the $50-60 saddle bags and thought I wouldn''t get my monies worth. I hate being wrong like most people but I hate calling a company asking for a refund or something else worse. Chalk this one up to not following instincts. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT It really is made poorly.

At first I was hesitant to buy this pack, after reading some of the negative comments about it. However, after using it for nearly 9 months, I can honestly say it is a terrific product. It adjusted to fit my boxer''s broad chest and small middle with no problem...I just tucked the extra strapping up. We''ve used it nearly every day for her walks, with no noticeable wear. It slows her down so she doesn''t pull on the leash (much better for her neck) and provides that extra exercise she needs to reduce her energy. Highly recommended!

Edit 2/11/12: I thought I''d add an update to my review. After three years, we are still using this pack. I''ve had no problems with it, and we''ve used it every day except during the summer (my dog overheats easily).

This pack came just in time for our camping trip over the weekend. Taking it out of the packaging it seemed like a really nice pack for the price. Reading another low review I was skeptical. We put in a couple bottles of water, a towel, and some sunblock, just to test it out. The 1st thing we noticed was she seemed to calm down a bit with the pack on. She is a small pit mix and the pack seemed a little big on her, then we noticed that you can totally adjust the straps and after we did, it fit perfect. We went through our hike with no problem. So all in all, great pack, great price!

Great product! This is a very functional pack and the best price we found. The adjustable fit stays on our German Shepard just fine even when she''s running. It makes her feel like she''s working. Why pay $60 for a fancy backpack? It''s for a dog.

I bought this because my 2 yr old husky pulls like crazy when we walk. I''ve used it for about 1 week now and I notice he seems to get more out of the walk and at the end of the walk he''s pulling less. I put one water bottle on each side so far. This week I''m going to increase the weight by putting 2 more bottles. The belly strap was long and I cut it shorter and put some super glue on the ends. So far no problem. For the price, this is the best backpack. The others are way more expensive. Try this one.

NFL Houston Texans Trailer Hitch Cover Save 17% off

NFL Houston Texans Trailer Hitch CoverThis hitch cover is made of plastic and isn''t very heavy but for the price I paid it will work for me. The steel ones were too expensive and I didn''t want to spend that much. I think this one will probably hold up very well though. I haven''t used it yet so may have a different opinion later.

It is made of plastic (wish it were metal), and more importantly, the Texans lost 3 out of 4 after I put this on my vehicle.

New Wave Enviro Striped Porcelain Water Dispenser (2.5-Gallon)

New Wave Enviro Striped Porcelain Water Dispenser, 2.5-Gallon(single)I needed a replacement crock for home water bottle dispenser. Ordered the New Wave Porcelain Dispenser. The crock arrived pronto, and was fine--looked nice, sat level, deep enough to hold plenty of water, etc. But the spigot that shipped with it was a piece of junk. It began dripping immediately. I wiggled and jiggled to no avail. Tried to get amazon to send me just a replacement spigot, but even a supervisor said "no"--I had to return the dispenser AND spigot to get a replacement. To his credit, he did immediately ship the replacement with 2-day shipping. However, when I unpackaged the second one, installed the spigot, and filled it with water--the exact same thing happened! The spigot would not stop dripping. 0 for 2. Fortunately I still had an old spigot left over (from my old dispenser that cracked). The old spigot and new dispenser is now working fine. So, while the price is right for the dispenser itself, don''t have too high expectations for the spigot. (You will probably need to buy a better quality spigot, for $5-10.)

its a good thing i filled it with water in the sink to clean it out before I used it because the spigot leaked! and not a slow leak! would have made an awful mess if it was not over the sink! the crock itself is fine, but the spigot is junk and therefore the whole unit is useless until I can get a new spigot!

I live where bottled water is best for drinking and cooking. This water dispenser looks good in my kitchen and is a sturdy receptacle for holding the 5 gal. jug and dispensing water. I prefer the porcelain. I also like this as no electric is required. The price is very reasonable.

I thought that maybe I would be lucky and get one without a leaky spout (after reading the other reviews). The first one I got was packaged so badly it was completly busted, sent it back and got the replacement (still same bad packaging just a cardboard box with the dispenser no packing material at all to keep it from breaking) but it was intact. Filled it with water and the spout leaked badly nothing we did helped. Looked for other spouts but could only find them in 1000 piece lots! We are returning again and ended up ordering a wooden barrel for my kombucha instead (from happyherbalist website they were running a special for a wooden barrel $100 with shipping was only a bit more than this really...)

I wish we would have listened to the previous reviews we have another porcelain water dispenser (the one with the ivy) and it has worked great for about a year I dont know what they have done differently but the price went up and the quality went down.

This is a really nice crock. It''s ceramic and the package says it''s lead free. It looks nice and was easy to assemble and clean. I purchased 3 gallon jugs to go with it and they are perfect and easy to handle. The only drawback is that it drips. I get about 1/8th of a cup every 8 hours on the floor and had to put a little dish on the floor to catch it. It needs a little drip tray.

Cosmos ® Black Stainless steel insulated water bottle 550mL Save 35% off

Cosmos ® Black Stainless steel insulated water bottle 550mL+Cosmos cable tieI needed a new water bottle and prefer insulated ones. This one has been great for me so far. It''s sturdy, leak proof, and does keep drinks as cold or warm as they were when you first filled the bottle.

I bought it for my baby''s formula water to use in bedtime while we staying upstairs. I prepared hot water around 10pm and it gets cold around 4am. Actually at 4am, i needed more hot water to mix the formula.

Kentucky Wildcats Stainless Steel Water Bottle Save $0.01 off

Kentucky Wildcats Stainless Steel Water BottleThe bottle I received was in good shape, but not what I ordered. I wanted the bottle pictured with the UK logo. What I received was a metal bottle painted blue that was a few shades darker than it should be. It also says "Kentucky" on it rather than the logo. I think it does have UK on it, but it''s small.

I was disappointed because my husband "bleeds blue" and he didn''t seem very happy with it.
