The Vortex 8x42 Diamondback Binocular

!±8± The Vortex 8x42 Diamondback Binocular

First, note that Vortex Optics has implemented argon purging of all its models. This is important because this sets Vortex binoculars above and beyond others. Argon, an inert gas, is used in these models to water and fog proof. Argon does not attack the seals and o-rings. The choice of this gas instead of nitrogen leads to an extended life of the binocular.

The Diamondback is a roof prism type of binocular. This allows for several important advantages. First, it allows for internal focusing which in turn is the reason for such great water and fog proofing. Secondly, its design is ergonomically balanced. It feels comfortable in your hands.

Its large field of view, 420 feet, makes this a binocular that is superb for the novice as well as the expert. With such a large field of view, it becomes much easier to locate even small song birds. This field of view is one of the best on the market.

If you are into searching for and viewing damsel flies and dragonflies, you will be interested in the close focus of 4.5 feet.

The Diamondback is a versatile model. The specifications discussed above make this an excellent choice for astronomy, birding, or butterfly viewing. It is as valuable in the woods as in a marine setting.

Vortex Optics endeavors to manufacture quality products. It is willing to back up this goal with a lifetime no questions asked warranty. They will repair or replace your item without asking for any explanation.

Bissell 7920 ProHeat Pro-Tech Carpet Cleaner

Equipped with system for monitoring work speed and a heater for boosting performance, this upright machine deep-cleans carpets and rugs by forcing a warm solution of water and cleansing concentrate into fibers and vacuuming up the dirty solution. The 1440-watt machine also scrubs bare floors (but not hardwood floors) and cleans stairs, upholstery, auto interiors, and even mattresses with onboard tools that spray dirty surfaces and crevices with the cleaning solution. A powered hand-tool that either brushes or vacuums at the flick of a switch accompanies the machine and attaches to a flexible accessories hose. The heater's advantage over ordinary machines is that it increases the cleaning solution's temperature (up to but not exceeding 180 degrees F) and prevents the solution from cooling. The electronic monitor displays lights showing whether the machine is going back and forth too fast for optimum performance. This model also has an applicator for spraying 3M Scotchgard dirt-and-stain protector (8 ounces included) onto a carpet. Here's how the machine works: A plastic bottle for filling with Bissell's Fiber Cleansing Formula (16 ounces included) fits into the base. A removable 1-gallon tank contains a bladder to hold clean water for mixing with the cleansing concentrate. (Dirty water vacuumed by the machine collects around the bladder.) A dial offers three settings for various tasks: normal, high traffic, and water rinse/carpet protector. A trigger on the machine's handle applies solution as desired. A flow-indicator spins when solution is applied and stops if the tank needs refilling. There's a switch for applying solution through the tools: tough-stain brush, upholstery tool, bare-floor head, crevice tool, pretreat wand. (The machine does not heat solution for tools.) The machine's 12-inch floating brush-roll automatically adjusts for carpet heights. Safe for virtually all carpets and upholstery fabrics, the deep-cleaning method can be turned off for dry-vacuuming delicate wool and Oriental rugs. The machine quickly assembles in five steps, using two bolts and nuts and two Phillips-head screws (all included). An especially understandable assembly/instruction booklet accompanies the machine, which carries a 1-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
