This review is from: Rick Steves' Easy Access Europe: A Guide for Travelers with Limited Mobility (Paperback)

This book is great! It helped us to know where to go at each location in order to find accessible entrances and special rates. It made our vacation a real success. London was especially accessible and the people were very helpful. There are family bathrooms everywhere in London. Paris was a little more difficult but still nice.

This review is from: Rick Steves' Easy Access Europe: A Guide for Travelers with Limited Mobility (Paperback)

This book is helping me plan a trip to Europe with my Aunt, who is a great travel companion, but doesn't quite have the physical stamina of years past. I like the accessibility codes, and recomendations for "easy access" Euro cities. My Aunt likes the larger type. Really a useful book.

Amna N., Marketing Manager, CTA Digital says:

The Wii Balance Board does not always give accurate weight reporting when used on carpet, whether you use the Aerobic Step Platform with it or not. Nintendo recommends using the foot extensions that come with the Balance Board to alleviate this problem. Customers have reported that using something underneath the feet such as poker chips or coins can help as well.

There are normally instructions packaged with the product and I cannot explain why you didn't receive them. However we can always be contacted with questions or concerns via our CTA Digital Facebook fanpage 'reviews' section, or through our technical support team email address which is: support@ctadigital.com.

Stable Step Platform, But Weight Issue Leaves Something to be Desired, June 22, 2009

MonaLS (Hayward, CA United States) -

= Fun:

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Aerobics Step Platform for Wii Fit (Accessory)

Pros: This Aerobics Step Platform for Wii Fit Balance Board is very stable and does not move, shift or flex when used.

Cons: No paperwork whatsoever, no instructions, nothing.
Weight is under-reported when using the step by almost 20 pounds. Apparently the foot holes are a little too deep. The Balance Board on the step registers weight correctly when I put 2 aluminum coins in each foot hole, then put the Balance Board on the step. Thanks Artdiver1 for the suggestion! (See Artdiver1's reviews of the "Everlast 3 Aerobic Step" and "Wii Riser Aerobic Step for the Wii Fit Balance Board" for more details.
Steps don't always register. Solved by adding the coins to make the foot holes a little more shallow. Now they register perfectly.

It works, but I shouldn't have to jury rig it to make it work right.

Cooks good food, but not smokeless, October 9, 2006

Gadgester "No Time, No Money" (Mother Earth) -

This review is from: Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black (Kitchen)

All considered, I decided to give this Sanyo indoor grill a 5-star rating. It's probably more like 4.5 stars, but Amazon doesn't allow that. I'll explain.

On the plus side, I really like the simplicity of this grill. It's also light-weight, registering a little under seven pounds, which means it's easy to move around - no breaking your back! It's also quite easy to clean: just soapy warm water and dry! The grill consists of three pieces: a metal grill, a sheet metal oil drip pan, and a plastic base. The base does feel a little insubstantial, but the whole thing, put together, is quite sturdy. The 200 in^2 cooking surface is good for a family of up to four.

I also loved the price: I never imagined I could have a quality indoor grill for such a low price. (Thanks to Amazon, too?) This is probably what tilted me to the five-star rating. The grill, made in China, is of pretty good build quality, and looks like it'll last a long time. The price and value just can't be beat.

Above all, the grill really gives you delicious BBQ food! I've grilled steaks, pork chops, burgers, franks, chicken breasts, chicken legs, chicken wings, vegetables, and more, and *each and every time* the food came out absolutely delicious. For example, I bought 2 pounds of semi-boneless rib steaks at Shaw's for ten bucks. I sprayed the grill with some oil spray, pre-heat the grill to 350 F degrees (which took about 20 minutes), and then grilled the steaks (together with a couple burger patties and some green peppers) for about 15 or 16 minutes to well-done. Then my family enjoyed a delicious steak meal. Not counting the cost of the grill itself, but including electricity (the grill is rated at 1300W), the whole meal came to less than $15 for four full-sized adults! Imagine if we had eaten out at a steakhouse; the last time I went to a steakhouse in Manhattan, I had to shell out over $80 per person, with no appetitizer ordered and only tap water! In fact, I found my own grilled steaks (served with Diet Coke bought on sale) even better. Even if the Sanyo had gone meet its makers after this one meal, I'd have more than broken even on the meal, compared to any restaurant that serves steaks.

So I'm really thrilled about the value and the quality of the food.

Now, why not a full-hearted five stars? Well, because this is a low-cost product, there are a couple items that I dislike. One, the thermostat is a joke; it has temperature ranges like "200-250" and "300-425" but doesn't give you exact markers, so you have to guess where to turn the knob to in order to preheat to 325. Not a big deal after a few tries, and I seem to get it right (more or less) each time even though I'd never operated a grill, indoor or outdoor, before. Two, cooking time is not short, period. Preheating to 300 takes about 15 minutes and to 425 takes over 20 minutes. Cooking itself takes between 10 and 20 minutes depending on what you cook and the meat's thickness. Also, the cooking time seems to vary with room temperature.

Three, more important, this grill is not completely smokeless. The oil spray will give out the most smoke, although it hasn't set off our smoke alarm yet. (I keep the doors and kitchen windows open when cooking.) In fact, I don't think any open grill can give you smokeless cooking. As long as you have oil heated to over 300 degrees, you will get smoke. Please keep this in mind if you live in a meticulously maintained house and cannot stand any grill smoke.

But all in all, I love this grill. I'd gladly buy another one any time. While grilled meat may not be healthy, this grill cooks yummy BBQ meat and veggies and saves me tons of money. I recommend this grill.

This review is from: Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black (Kitchen)

I read the review about how long it takes to preheat this grill, well being a full time chef (aa culinary arts) and over 20 years in the industry, I have used many different types of grills, and in most cases when I needed it to heat up quickly we would just place a sheet pan over it and it decreased the startup time significantly. Well I found a aluminum baking pan which fit this grill perfectly, the metal does not come in contact with the plastic base, and it took only 4 minutes to reach the high setting. I used a litte non stick spray and placed 2, 1 inch thick lamb chops on it and it seared them perfectly and quickly, placed the cover (pan) back over them, waited about 3 minutes, turned them over, and grilled another 2 minutes and they were well done. Totoal time grill was on 10 minutes. Now lamb is about the greasiest meat and I did get a little smoke, but that was only when the searing was taking place, and with the cover very little splatter also. I think if they could the would make a cover for this unit, but it would probably not pass U.L. standards? Not sure but if you are using this grill as with other appliances you must keep a close eye on them. I got this item next day with amazon prime total was only 34 bucks. Great deal and product.

Great grill, great price, July 14, 2005

This review is from: Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black (Kitchen)

This is one appliance that lives up to every one of the manufacturer's claims. I follow directions and spray the grill surface with cooking spray and put half a cup of water in the pan below, and the grill really is, as advertised, smokeless and extremely easy to clean. I like the adjustable grill temperature, a feature I'm not used to since my faithful antique Farberware, now deceased, had only two settings, namely "plugged in and on" or "unplugged and off". The Sanyo cooks everying in half the time the old grill did, and without cabinet-endangering flareups. I particularly like the enormous cooking surface since I'm regularly cooking for 5 adults and a child and with this grill I can cook for all of us at once. The dimensions make it easy to store if you set it vertically rather than horizontally. The appliance is so low in height that I set mine on a silicone countertop protector, but I'm not sure this is really necessary. My only complaint is that there is no surrounding rim to keep your hamburgers from sliding right off the grill when you try to flip them over, but using a second spatula as a backstop solves that problem. This grill is a terrific bargain even at the suggested retail price; at the current Amazon price it's even more terrific.
