DeWalt Replacement for Dust Busters
Replaces the little dust buster type vacuums we all have bought. We have a free standing wood burning stove. Big brick hearth but still, can't keep ashes from falling on the brick. I own multiple DeWalt tools and have been impressed with the reliability. Cats, spills, and small messes means a dry/wet vac for the bonus room/fireplace makes a lot of sense. I have multiple batteries and would be the only down side to this product (battery and charger can run up to $100. Very happy with this purchase and have every reason to believe it will perform like all my fine DeWalt 20V tools.,

Entertaining Thinking Detective Story
I'm a big Nero Wolfe fan and have the T Hutton & Maury Chaykin version of Rex Stout's superb detective series. Many of these episodes are word for word in some segments identical. More so to be true to Rex Stout's writings more than a copy of each other. Comparing the 2 series, Cannon has a Nero Wolfe style that emphasizes the detective's disdain for anything less than perfection. In food, in orchids, in clothing and in solving the subject of his investigation (Archie Goodwin's really). Wolfe does not suffer idiots well. Cannon takes this to the point of almost being heartless whereas Maury Chaykin has more heart for the character with soft spots for dogs, children, and the occasional woman. So, both series are watchable and entertaining. The writing is to the point and appropriate for the time set for the productions. Hutton's series uses a repertory means for casting a certain amount of actors each week in different roles. I love that. Hutton's time frame is late war early 50's whereas Cannon's series is set in a contemporary time frame (1980's). I prefer the 40-50's. Bottom line is that Huttons got 5 stars from me and this version rates a 4 star. That said, both are watchable and have enough quirkiness and intelligent scripts to set them apart from run of the mill detective stories. Archie Goodwin, the character that does most of the detecting, is not Sherlock Holmes but his not all action like all the running and head banging of Rockford or Kojak.
Seller communicated well, packed the product so it arrived in pristine condition, and it shipped via postal rates and arrived as predicted. Seller's performance was stellar and the product is entertaining at a reasonable price. I can't ask for more..wait, maybe if both of the series lasted more than 15 episodes.
