title: Excellent

text: Love this magazine. It talks about trends in all areas of technology and gives DIY projects that are fun. I love having automatic renewal so I don't miss an issue


title: National Geographic.  Loved it as a kid, still do.

text: I'm amazed that National Geographic maintains its high quality in articles and photography, which is displayed on good paper.  Whenever their magazine is in my mailbox, I sit down immediately to read it.


title: Nat Geo Subscription

text: Love my subscription to Nat Geo.  It took a little while to get the app installed and then the magazine subscription set up, but it's worth it. Takes the magazine to the next level, and will eliminated the walls of glowing yellow. Good idea.


title: Great magazine

text: I love this magazine, I just don't have the time to sit and read these as much as I would like. So they sit on my shelf at home still in their wrappers.


title: Serious body building

text: Ordered for my husband who loves it.  Men’s fitness and muscle and development were not what he was looking for.  This is for the hard core man.


title: Love Cars great Magazine

text: I will continue to buy and recommend. Lots of cool cars and great info. Loved the article about the EPA, makes perfect sense why cars never get the EPA rating on the sticker when you purchase the car.


title: Top quality reading

text: i have been a subscriber to MHQ for many years. The stories in each issue can vary in time and place from the ancient world to the middle ages to modern conflicts - the magazine covers the full spectrum of military history.  The articles are interesting to read and also well-researched and scholarly, not shallow or populist stuff.  They are authoritative and reliable.  They cover every sort of subject from famous people and events to ones you've likely never heard of, and are always interesting reading.  This is an excellent magazine for someone with diverse interests in military history, as opposed to someone whose principle interest is focused on a particular war or era.


title: Not just for women

text: It comes right on time.  There are so many revelant articles that appeal to anyone especially women.


title: Four Stars

text: Wife loves it. Thank you.


title: Could do better

text: Love this magazine but since I moved I have only received one magazine so that was a bit disappointing. :-/


title: Five Stars

text: Very informative and good reviews for future reading material


title: the New Yorker Magazine - the best

text: We enjoy this magazine every week. We look forward the cover , the interesting articles, the cartoons especially the one on the back page.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine!


title: Up to date on health supplements

text: Mainly advertising for health supplements.


title: Four Stars

text: started out good will see after i get more copies to read


title: Wonderful ideas and help with fine details.

text: I find new ideas and projects in every issue! The patterns included with each issue are wonderful and easy to use.


title: RD Mag

text: Glad to be able to renew it within my budget.


title: Farm Mag

text: Received and already read cover to cover-glad I tried it.


title: good

text: good


title: It's a great resourse for decorative ideas.

text: Just love love Joanna's ideas!!!


title: Don't waste your money on this subscription

text: I ordered a subscription early this year (March if memory serves) and I never received the first isssue. Since then it seems like they've jacke up the price to 18 bucks! Insanity! and trust me its not worth it. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to Cosmopolitan in espanol instead. its far more superior.


title: Five Stars

text: Always very interesting.


title: Five Stars

text: Grandkids get excited to see it in the mail.


title: For a family member

text: I have sent this subscription to a family member for the last few years and she loves them. Great gift!


title: Five Stars

text: love it


title: Free thinking, free markets

text: If your look for a magazine with critical thinking this would be one to get. Had my subscription for two years, and don't think I'm going to cancel anytime in next few years at lest.


title: Love the print copy but ...

text: The Kindle edition is too small to closely examine the paintings.  I did get the new print edition, but not the kindle version.


title: Subscription Was Stolen Via Mail Fraud

text: I have a creep who is stalking me. He/they (he and his creepy friends) stole the subscription.  Got the run around with Amazon and The Smithsonian. Customer service was terrible by both. They were doing things to keep me from receiving my mail. Only received the last magazine in the subscription. I got 1 magazine out of the entire subscription. Tried to cancel the magazine thru the Smithsonian and even they wouldn't help because they say the magazine had been ordered thru a third party.  They do not deserve the one 1 star I am forced to give. The experience was terrible.


title: Five Stars

text: love this magazine - it is only cookbook or magazine I pull recipes from...


title: Very relevant and insightful science related articles most people can read/follow

text: This isn't 6th grade level but any high schooler can follow; all cutting edge science and some written by scientist in the field. No equations (generally) but well written (explanations are through) and details are provided. The pictures and art work are first rate and informative.


title: Not worth it

text: Not worth it, horrible customer service


title: great deal for one of my fave fashion mags

text: I got a good deal $5. The magazine is very fashion forward.  I dont care about articles on socialites.  Who cares!  I like the fashion, popular culture, art, etc. Don't care about celebrity info.  it is not that much celebrity info or news about them in this magazine.


title: Long time subscriber. Great magazine!

text: It’s a wonderful magazine filled with fashion and current issues.


title: Fun to look back in time

text: Quality and price very good


title: Paid- product never recieved

text: I purshased this magazine as part  of a wedding present for a friend who lived on the east coast.  A year later when I was recieving subscription renewal notices I asked that friend whether or not he had found it useful.  He had never recieved a single issue.  The complaint I filed was never acknowledged.  I consider this very poor service.


title: Five Stars

text: Great deal


title: very interesting articles.

text: very interesting articles. wide range of articles. all aspects of life. world wide coverage. well written. interesting ads. great great.


title: Worth reading.

text: I enjoy reading it. It has articles about Field & Stream which are interesting. Good articles about hunting and fishing.

title: soooo great!

text: I love this magazine. it is so much fun to read and you are never bored with anything in this magazine. OMG!! allof the cover modles are so inspiring. get it


title: NOT SATISFIED

text: 6 weeks and waiting. False advertising, they meant 10 weeks for first magazine, not the 4 to 6 as quoted on the order subscription. NOT SATISFIED


title: Motorcycle news and racing information.

text: Good articles, helpful information on calendars and events. Could brush-up on their grammar.


title: Do not order!

text: I ordered this magazine as a gift for X-Mas in 2005, the money was taken from my account immediatly, but the product was never shipped.  Didn't realize this until the recipiant of this gift called me. I was informed that he was getting billed for his own X-Mas gift! Which he never recieved! Tried many times to locate a number for this company, and had to make LOTS of calls to find a valid phone number.  Anyways, finially he recieved mag in JULY! And forget the cookbook that was supposed to be free with subscription, that never came.  Unfortunatly I have already been billed AGAIN after only 6 issues.  AND the phone number listed on the new bill, invalid.....again.


title: Automotive

text: I love this magazine they truly understand the automobile


title: Perfect for us

text: We have a "good old boat" and this addresses our needs well! We love hearing people's stories who have a true love of sailing.


title: Five Stars

text: I am loving all these recipes!!!!


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine, but I wish was less expensive. They should have a reasonably-priced download option for US.


title: Very informative

text: Great  magazine for all who are into music my husband loves it


title: It's OK.  Would like to see more menus and recipes

text: Only OK.  Not an outstanding magazine.  Food ideas are ok, but not great.


title: Great for all Microsoft developers -- Even better for emerging platforms

text:
I have subscribed to MSDN Magazine for years now, and it really is quite good.  Unlike most Microsoft publications, it is not "sales-pitchy" in that the articles are usually applicable to resolving common development issues, and there is very little subliminal verbiage geared toward buying other MS products that you don't need.

One thing to note is that they are very big on emerging technologies.  This has its pros and cons...for example, they had tons of Visual Studio 2005 articles well before it was released, so it's nice to know how to use what's coming down the pike.  And now (Sept 2007), there are a lot of Orcas (VS 2008) articles.

However, there is usually a large gap between when a platform is released and when you actually use it...so those articles most likely won't be useful to you until you actually have a reason to use it (i.e. when you employer adopts it).  I often find that the most useful articles were written a year or two before I need it.

Another great thing about MSDN is that the entire magazine is available on their site for free, so you don't have to fork over the money if you don't want to.  I just subscribe to give my eyes a break from the monitor once in a while.

title: buy it

text: Great publication!


title: Four Stars

text: Subscribed to for a friend.


title: Problem with back dated issues

text: While the magazine looks fine my problem was with the back dated issue I got when I subscribed. Although with this magazine, which is not that current anyway, it's not a big deal, but I would prefer the subscription start with the current month so that I'm not getting the first two issues at the same week.


title: Where have the good Magazines gone?

text:
I used to receive Numismatic News when it was a newspaper and it had excellent coverage of coin news and a value section that was the standard. It has fell to a level that I consider mostly useless.

J. R. Harlin


title: A different direction

text: I bought this for my wife but I look at it too.  It is not your usual cooking magazine but seems to come from a different direction addressing normal type dishes -no weird stuff.  Very informative and varied.  A solid publication.


title: Covering the issues not "sexy" enough for the MSM

text: There must be a veritable university staff writing this august publication. Each week it is filled with content covering international events, politics, and business. Though the articles usually tell you what to think on a given topic, they also provide enough background for you to form you own judgments. Ideologically the publication is stridently moderate (from my American perspective), never venturing to the far right or left. If The Economist could accept various responsible points of view and give them a voice in their weekly then, 5 Stars.


title: GREAT magazine

text: If you have ever watched the TV show, you know that their recipies are the best. The magazine is great at explaining why and how they came up with the recipie and why each component works. This is great for any cook.


title: Good

text: My husband loves this magazine.  He hands them down to others.  I have been ordering this magazine for years. Price was good.  I will keep my eyes open for deals on other magazines.


title: Five Stars

text: Will be renewing.


title: Five Stars

text: cool deal


title: Five Stars

text: lots of useful information.


My granddaughter has enjoyed this magazine immensel, it has interesting stories for the age group.  I would recommend this magazine for any young lady interested in riding.


title: Four Stars

text: Nice photos and ideas.


title: Five Stars

text: Always a good magazine/good format and photos.


title: Three Stars

text: A lot of advertising.


title: Good transaction...

text: The magazine itself is nice for the children but for me as a consumer find it to be a bit flimsy...


title: Five Stars

text: I am fully enjoying the Hot Rod Mag. Thanks. Rick L.

text: Bought this subscription as a gift for my husband, a history buff. He love them and enjoys reading the magazine from cover to cover.


title: Good Price Brought Me Here

text: Good mag, good price!


title: The Slight Discount Brought Me Here

text: Good price for a good mag.


title: too many ad pages

text: Way too much advertising. Will not renew.


title: Unreadable (graphically) or when "trendy" trumps legibility.

text: As noted previously, LOTS of ads. I suspect they could give the magazine away and live on the ad money. There are good articles, informative articles and if I could read them I'm sure I'd get a lot out of them. But what's with the stylistic graphic text? Really, a 2,000 word article with 8pt grey type on a black background? The current issue was 200 pages of unreadable text surrounded by eye catching ads. What's a reader to do? Not resubscribe? Exactly.


title: Five Stars

text: I really enjoy it.


title: Great Magazine

text: My 10 year old son is very interested in science and finds many of the articles interesting. It also generates a lot of questions, so is a great learning tool.


title: Five Stars

text: If you love BMWs this is the magazine for you


title: Informative

text: I chose this magazine for my 13 year old who is quite quiet. I thought if she had some 'issues' she was encountering in school then somewhere in this magazine it would help her to sort out a situation.<br />I know she liked the magazine, she would then share it with her older sister then pass along to her friends!


title: Must have!!!!

text: I love this mag!


title: Riveting articles

text: Got a great deal on the Smithsonian through Amazon.  The first copy just arrived and I couldn't put it down.


title: Five Stars

text: great article and diy topics


title: Great!

text: This is one of my favorite magazines. It is very informative. I love the feature stories about fellow entrepreneurs. Their stories are very inspiring.


title: Excellent, but nostalgic

text: I don't suppose I'll ever quit pining for the old newspaper format, but W is still the most artistic and informative of the fashion magazines. It's worth the price of a subscription for their fabulous advertisements, sort a like the superbowl. I wish they hadn't merged with Vogue, as it was nice having two major and distinct voices in the fashion world, but for my money W is worth all those other fashion magazines combined.


title: worth it for the budding chef

text: I love it. If you like the food network magazine then you'll love this one. I found a recipe I was excited to make within the first 5 pages! Love!


title: Five Stars

text: Enjoying magazine. Thanks.


title: Great horse magazine!

text: This is PERFECT for girls who love horses and own one or don't own one. Good articles, and lots of pictures. I have posters from the magazine all over my room!


title: Great source of motorcycle info!

text: Honest, unbiased info here - I look forward to getting this every month!


title: Month and a day but no magazine.

text: Kind of hard to say if I like the publication if I was only to base that on having seen one yet to review.  This subscription process is slow.  In today's high tech market where we all know the publication's circulation folks get your subscription and your money long before they ship it is a sad remark on their ability to join the modern age.  Is the magazine great for those who like it?  Oh sure, it must be.  Is the distribution processing of subscriptions and delivery of product even close to meeting the customer desire?  In this case no.  We go to Amazon in part because we can usually expect delivery within a couple days.  Magazines in over a month is just not cool.


title: Five Stars

text: News with reason.


title: Great diy magazine

text: Great diy projects. Good tool recommendations.


title: One Star

text: Boring mag.


Great publication! Keeps this non-scientist informed, without feeling like a boring lecture, in some freshman Science 101 course. And the charts, photography and illustrations are the BEST.


title: Great magazine, arrived way sooner than expected!

text: I was a long time subscriber to PopMech, but let my subscription lapse when I moved a few years ago. I purchased newstand copies 5 or 6 times a year, but decided to subscribe and save $$. My first issue arrived within 3 weeks and was excellent, just as expected.


title: Great samples for a low price

text: Great samples for a low price. I ended up getting a full years subscription


title: A great publication and group of writers

text: Old school magazine done in a professional manner. Varied coverage is great not just all $100K + builds. Real coverage for real gearheads.


title: Great magazine

text: My husband loves this magazine and I ordered it as a stocking stuffer...well it auto-renewed but somehow auto-renewed against his credit card.  Not sure how that happened...I guess Amazon just chose one of the cards we have on file, so he wasn't happy that it auto-renewed but wanted to keep the magazine coming anyway.


title: One of my reading material

text: Find it full of helpful idea on common problems around the house. Price was right a lot better than the offers that coming in the mail.


title: Love this magazine

text: As a parent of a child with ADHD, I love this magazine! It gives you facts and ways to help your child cope with everyday challenges.  The magazine provides interesting, useful articles and has a positive tone.  It provides solutions and treatments on many different aspects, not just medication.  Let me be clear, I'm not against medication (neither is the magazine) but there are more pieces to the "treatment pie" than medication alone.  I would highly recommend this for parents.


title: Drivel

text:
This is quite honestly one of the worst publications I have ever seen.  For a product that is supposed to support education, I was amazed at the typos, grammatical errors and otherwise banal writing.  I also did not appreciate the personal banter from the editor regarding internal publication issues.

Makes good fire starter on a cold winters night though.


title: Popular Science

text: What else can I say except that this is Popular Science!  Great magazine with great articles.  The purchase price wasn't bad so I decided to order it.


title: Review of the Purchase of a DVD

text: Excellent service!  The item was packaged well, and it arrived quickly.  It was exactly as advertized.


title: Three Stars

text: Has good articles but quite a bit of advertising. Guess that is how we get them so cheap :(


title: Three Stars

text: Lots of ads, little bit of recipes and even less Wine talk.


title: Good information

text: Im not in the trade ,but do work in the testing dept of a vehicle manufacturer,also in the car hobby.Tho small this mag does provide useful information.For Instance the article on the GM 3.1 v6 was very helpful to me as I have one.Also the problems and fixs for the ford 6.0 powerstroke diesel,I was thinking of buying one.Looking to become a auto tech,own a repair shop,or just a car guy you will probably find something of value in this mag,for me worth subscribing to.


title: More advertising than anything else

text: I bought this magazine based on reviews but found it contained more advertising than anything else.Very few articles of any technical content.


title: Best magazine ever published.....

text: Smithsonian is the best thing I've ever read.Bar none.History....science....astronomy....biographies....after I've finished one, I can't wait to turn someone else on to it. Great read every time....


title: Popular Mechanics

text: I love Popular Mechanics.  This was a great deal - I used it to extend my current subscription.  The magazine just keeps getting better.  In the past couple of years they have added more types of stories, and have greatly improved the graphics.


title: Great material

text: A well written magazine with research to support the articles.<br />Well worth the inexpensive price. Highly recommended.


title: Five Stars

text: Isn't it wonderful that there are such brilliant cartoonists out there?


title: Science with an agenda is not really science

text: I read my first Scientific American as a kid in 1968.  It had an article that explained how the development of cancer was due to sequential mutations and now I am a cancer scientist.  While in college, I could not wait for the next issue to arrive.  I particularly loved Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games" and the Armature Scientist but those are long gone.  But, I finally said goodbye to my subscription to this old friend after the Magazine took the side of the bees in the Yellow Rain controversy without ever even mentioning the possibility of Soviet malevolence.  I was by that time a toxicologist and I knew the bee story to be a disturbing and tragic farce.  The magazine is prominent in Airports, so I have read it occasionally over the years hoping against hope for signs of improvement.  But no, the decline has been steady and steep, both in the editorial outlook and the quality of the science.  Year by year the articles have become increasingly political.  The intent is to give what is really political opinion a pseudo-scientific legitimacy.  Science does not need that, and the science consuming layman deserves better treatment.  In the words of Sargent Joe Friday we need "Just the facts, ma'am."  But for most editors and certainly those at Scientific American, facts are just so many plastic strands to be woven into a cloak that hides the agenda.


title: OLD WOMEN WILL *LOVE* THIS MAGAZINE!!

text:
IF I LIVED IN A WORLD WHERE I DIDN'T KNOW OPRAH EXISTED AND JUST SAW THIS MAGAZINE SOMEWHERE LIKE ON THE GROUND OR IN THE TRASH, I WOULD ASSUME THE "O" IN "O MAGAZINE" STOOD FOR "OLD"

WHY? BECAUSE THIS MAGAZINE IS FULL OF STORIES AND LIES AND MYTHS, MOSTLY ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, TO TERRORIZE AND FRIGHTEN OLD WOMEN INTERSPERSED WITH TONS OF ADVERTISEMENTS FOR PRODUCTS THEY NEED TO BUY TO STOP THE AGING PROCESS (TO THAT I SAY "GOOD LUCK!" LOL!)

I HAVE BEEN BUYING THIS MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION FOR MY MOM FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, MOSTLY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO GET HER, BUT SHE LOVES IT AND RECEIVING THIS IN THE MAIL EACH MONTH IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST PERK FOR HER. SO IN SUMMATION I GUESS BUY THIS IF YOU WANT A GOOD CHEAP YEAR-ROUND GIFT FOR AN OLD LADY YOU LOVE BUT DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT!!


title: Great magazine

text: We have been receiving this magazine for quite a few years. My husband and I both enjoy reading through it. There is seldom an issue that doesn't give us at least one useful tip.


title: Nature Magazine

text: Fantastic magazine and highly recommend it for all nature photographers just starting out as well as for those with experience.


title: Too much of it is other stuff and beginner level ...

text: Too much of it is other stuff and beginner level puzzles.  Only a few in each issue are medium to hard, and no really hard ones.


title: This magazine has "some" useful information. But the hike descriptions and write-ups are ...

text: This magazine has "some" useful information. But the hike descriptions and write-ups are NOT user-friendly. Besides, 75% of its pages are just advertising. I'm disappointed. Will not renew the subscription.


title: What?!!!!!!

text: This is a free magazine on the Linux website, so why someone would pay for it let along pay that much , you must be rich and have nothing to do with your money..better yet I'll sell you a copy for 100.00, any takers..


title: Five Stars

text: The articles and photos are all very interesting.


title: first one takes awile

text: better than store price and it comes to your house. after the first issue they come on time and good deal. not much to say its a mag. lol


title: Enjoyable

text: Good to pickup and read some short article now-&-then.


title: Beautiful pictures

text: Nat. Geo. is well recognized as excellent.


title: Brief--Informitive

text: Brief but very good.  (Expensive!)


title: National Geographic is our favorite magazine!

text: National Geographic has been part of my reading priorities for many years.  Articles are well written and take me to places we only dream of.  Thanks for doing an outstanding job of representing the world!


title: Four Stars

text: however, I don't get every issue -only 3 out of 4 weeks


title: Great price

text: If you are a fan of National Geographic and are looking for a great subscription price, you cannot beat this price to get this great publication for one year.  Less than half the price through National Geographic...


title: Look forward to each issue.

text: I look forward to receiving every issue.  Realistic projects and ideas for everyone.  Great paint color charts for inspiration.


title: Did not enjoy.

text: This magazine is good - if you have money and can afford the homes and decor featured.  Did not enjoy.


title: Five Stars

text: love the articlles about ammo. keeps me up to date on the latest guns available.


title: Four Stars

text: good


title: help for diys and projects

text: like the mis ques makes not feel alone


title: ... on their IPad/ IPhone / or other device Id like to say to Smithsonian Magazine

text:
To All of the magazine subscribers who up until a month ago could ALSO read their paid for hard copy issue copy on their IPad/ IPhone / or other device Id like to say to Smithsonian Magazine ....you ripped off a feature people used and grew to expect WITH no notice. Clearly some statistician in accounting saw a means to squeeze another buck out of its readers and loyal fans and went Walmart on all of its subscribers.... bad form

I plan to cancel.  The content of a magazine is ONLY as good as the integrity of the people running it.


title: Must have trade journal for beekeeping.

text: Must have as beekeeper


title: Not the same as the news stand copies

text: I'd rather have paid more for the subscription to be first quality.  The paper is cheap and the content seems thin.


title: Three Stars

text: I know that I love the magazine, but I haven't gotten the first issue yet.


title: Nostalgia

text: S.L. is much thinner than it used to be, but all-in-all still one of the best magazine there is.


title: Cancel now due to cute in job

text: Want to cancel now no work


title: Not wanting magazine anymore

text: Would like this to stop coming not what I thought it was.


title: Hands Down Best Magazine on Scenic Aspects of Colorado

text: If you love Colorado, or the Rocky Mountains, or just nature in general, then this is the magazine for you!  First of all, the photography alone is worth every penny of the subscription price.  Truly outstanding full color images throughout the magazine, each and every issue.  I've been subscribing for years.  Also the articles are well done, covering the history and specific details of places, parks, towns, monuments, by-ways, festivals and more.  I like that the magazine captures all parts of Colorado across the span of various different volumes/issues, including the front range, western slope, prairies and mountains. Yes, there are advertisements but they are relevant in that they cover businesses related to the sight seeing crowd, tourists and activities available. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase almost all of the back issues going back to 2012, such is the beauty of the photography (but they are now all sold out apparently).  When our relatives visit from other states and from over-seas, they always leaf through our stash of Colorado Life magazines to pick places for their next adventure while they're staying with us.  I've heard that there is a Utah Life magazine series as well, and may check that out in the future (Utah is also a beautiful state).


title: Partisan fiction devoid of facts, presented in comically inept form.

text: Time is now trash. Propaganda and gaslighting, to just outright lies. Truthful journalism based on factual evidence is dead in this country, if not the entire world. Time/Trash magazine is a perfect example.  Everything is about partisanship now. The mainstream media is utterly corrupt and needs to just fade away into obscurity. How they are still in business is a mystery.


title: Caught Fake Reporting

text: This rag was busted for photoshopping a cover photo that was used to make a point that did not exist.  They were once a real and reliable source of journalism.  Now they are no better than any lying tabloid.


title: there is only one opinion about nat geo, great!

text: this is my favorite read for 30 years. the nat geo is the ultimate learning experience for all genres across the globe and beyond


title: Time has the best journalists on the planet

text: thus is a legendary magazine. with everything going paperless, this is one magazine that should stay published!


title: This magazine is a standard for reporting the truth!

text: This magazine is a standard for thoughtful stories about most relevant topics of today. It also covers lessons from the past that directly connects to the present in so many ways. In addition to news and other materials - Time magazine sets a high bar for the greatest photography in journalism.


title: Not so much COVID

text: 200 books to review<br />New inventions


title: Available stamp purchases

text: Excellent


title: Pretty pictures

text: We have been reading this for years but it is a very biased news source. News should be just news but by the subtle and not so subtle wording you know exactly the view they want to push. We cancelled ours and have no intentions of renewing.


title: Always fascinating

text: Captures the diversity and beauty of the world


title: Current and informative

text: I like keeping up with the news all over the world


title: A propaganda magazine - during the election season they were ...

text: A propaganda magazine - during the election season they were blatantly campaigning - what's the point of paying for a magazine just to hear propaganda?


title: Cancel

text: Not helpful, fluff.  Cancel


title: Used to be great

text: I so loved getting The Week when it first started. The magazine was (and still is) broken out into different topics: news, food, entertainment, real estate, puzzle page, etc but it’s real value was how it shared the news from different angles in a “just report the news” kind of approach. But, all good things seemingly must come to an end where the editors clearly felt they must show us how smart they are by sharing their opinions plus slanting the news clearly to the left. I don’t care about your opinion. I’m not impressed with how smart you think you are. I don’t need someone to tell me what is “right”. Just report the news and let me decide…and cancel my subscription till you can.


title: Not balanced.

text: I love the format however all its reporting is slanted obviously left. I'm a moderate and don't appreciate one-sided views. On some parts, you'll get 3 editorials that are left-wing while allowing one to be a  right-wing perspective. Sad how the news isn't balanced anymore. MAKE IT BALANCED!!!! People need to know both sides of the story, not a liberal infomercial!!!


title: Far far away in another galaxy.

text: Too far left for my view.


title: family favorite

text: this weekly edition gives you the most noteworthy events from around the world at a glance.


title: Perfect balance of quality and quantity of news.

text: Nice, short and right to the point magazine that lets you decide what to make of each reported news. Love it!


Magazine delivers "the week" in a precise, accurate, un-biased format


title: Report news...not what you think it should be!

text: A quick read about both sides of an issue.  Worthwhile time spent!  Things they could do away articles from Hollywood from actors suggesting how to run my life.  Wasted time!


title: Five Stars

text: Best news synopsis ever; took awhile for the first issue to arrive


title: Informational, but too expensive

text: I enjoyed reading this informational news magazine, but it is too expensive.  They should at least offer a senior citizen discount and/or a military discount on the magazine.  If they did that I would resubscribe.


title: Great Magazine

text: Attempted to order as a gift thru amazon. There appears.to be an entire payment chain to get thru to receive the magazine. Having issues being passed around thru the chain to get the problem of payment resolved. Just order straight from the company.


title: Condensed, non biased news summary

text: The Week magazine summarizes the week in the news through a  non biased presentation.


title: Too liberal

text: I have been a subscriber for 20 years. I am dropping my subscription. The Week used to be much more balanced, but has gone through a change in editorial slant.  Very liberal in its editorial content now. I used to enjoy the back and forth from left and right in the magazine. If you lean left, you will enjoy the magazine.


title: The one and only

text: It’s better than any TV news or any other news Magazine it’s the best


title: Five Stars

text: This is a great publication for people that want to really know what's going on, the good and bad.


title: Short and sweet

text: Succinct, well written. I like the distillation of the news after a few days, which reduces the level of turmoil in the immediate daily news.


title: Good for cat lovers

text: Has great information about cats. Shows things to get for your cat or cats. I have four.

text: Being a model rail roader, and I run a passenger train on my layout, this bus will fit right in


title: Good reading

text: Great mag


title: Delivery time not acceptableable.

text: I am still waiting for the first issue to arrive. At this point I want a full refund for the magazine. The price was reasonable but what does it matter when it takes months for the magazine to arrive.<br />VERY DISAPPOINTED.


title: Bummed

text: I never got them and didn’t realize it until it was time to renew.


title: Great for  Bosts

text: Yes, some good articles for different levels of boating experience.


title: Lots of info

text: Its ok, more for advanced wood workers...which is above my pay grade


title: Online subscriptions don't work!

text: I never received the subscription. Lesson learned!!


title: Practical and useful.

text: Read it cover to cover. Practical and useful.


title: Lots of great info in it

text: Husband loves this mag.  Lots of great info in it, he says.


title: Five Stars

text: my nephew loves this mag.  he is a cooking teacher


title: Five Stars

text: Always very helpful.


title: Needs more projects in each magazine

text: Not enough projects. Magazine seems to be directed towards females. My husband doesn't care for any of the styles. Due to most of them being pastels or geometric designs. I have put my own touch on a few of the projects to make them more "unisex".


title: False Advertisement- CAUTION

text:
This is the first review I have ever written on any website.  I purchased 10 issues and when I received the second magazine there was a letter that stated "We are pleased to present you with this very special, bigger-than-ever November issue....This edition is so big, in fact, that we are treating it as a special issue that will count toward two of your subscriber issues, so the duration of your subscription will be adjusted accordingly....It's loyal customers like you who make our magazine so successful."

This issues is SOOOOOO BIG that it is 20 whole pages longer than the previous one, 108 vs. 128. WOW!!
I wonder how many magazines I will actually receive now because of other reviews I have read and the fact that they could try and do this again and again.

This is unacceptable to myself, and if they expect to have "loyal" customers then they need maintain proper/high business practices, values, standards, and ethics.  I am about to email them, customercare@thefamilyhandyman.com.

title: Family Handyman

text: I've been receiving Family Handyman for a number of years and love it. I bought this copy for a friend.


title: LOVE IT - why did I wait?

text: I've seen this on the newstand over the years but generally passed it up for some reason. I bought a few here and there, but passed on it  in the long run. I was offered a fantastic price on a 1 year subscription, $5 I think. From that point on I was hooked. I've had it now for about three years and look forward to each issue. Great tips!

title: very handful for around the house! HaydeeNB

text: My husband and I were visiting relatives in Oregon and happended to read The Family Handyman. Inside the magazine there was an insert ad for ordering it - I placed the order for us and even though I received a reply from this Co.? immediately that our order was placed (about 3 months ago) we have yet to receive any magazine - I'm happy that later for another placement gift I happened to find this magazine at Amazon and I placed the order for it here instead - and of course of gift was received within the time indicated - LOVE YOUR SERVICE AMAZON!!!

title: Five Stars

text: Helped with several projects. Will keep getting it!


title: Great Reference Magazine

text: I have been a subscriber to this magazine for about 6 years. I have back issues that I still frequently use. Family Handyman appeals to a wide variety of price ranges and skill levels. It contains many great sections, is very informative, and even mixes a little humor into its pictures. As the new owner of an old farm house, I greatly appreciate the magazine. It has helped give me the confidence to undertake many projects that I ordinarily would not have done.

title: Good

text: It’ good. I like the product very much.


title: Love This Magazine! :o)

text: I look forward to receiving this magazine and read it cover to cover immediately. It provides common-sense, practical advice for the less-than-handy handy-person. I had ordered the magazine when it was suggested as a result of my This Old House subscription and I'm glad I did. While This Old House gives great ideas for larger, more ambitious projects, this magazine gives pointers and ideas for more down-to-earth, simple projects and time-savers. I've already used ideas several ideas from the magazine.


title: Family Handyman (1-year auto-renewal)

text: I like family Handyman Magazine,I don't like Readers Digest Association ! They send books that you did not order, then threaten you when you don't send them back or buy them.  They do the same with Birds and Bloom. They are a  bunch of Worms!

title: 1-Year Subscription is Eleven Months

text:
The subscription policy has recently changed.

I asked about this by email and the response was

"We now publish 11 issues each year that includes a special issue, which counts as 2 issues in your subscription."

I wasn't sure I totally understood that, so I called customer service and asked:
"How many months are in a 1-year subscription".  The answer was "Eleven Months".


title: Great magazine full of immediately useful info

title: Family Handyman

text: I cannot say enough about the Family Handyman issues. I love them, they are a great source of information. Awesome!


title: You don't always get for what you paid.

text: The magazine is just OK. Most of the content wasn't relative. The issue I had was that at one point during my subscription the magazine executives decided an issue was extra special so they unilaterally decided to reduce my subscription by one month. I was subscribing for myself and had two gift subscriptions. I did not renew any of the three subscriptions. I don't like doing business with a company that unilaterally decides you should pay more. If I didn't agree, they said I could write them and they would complete the subscription as I originally paid.


title: Another great magazine is coming next time

text: Lots of great articles


title: For newbies only

text: if you have zero skills this is your magazine. It's very basic and good for beginner handypeople.


This is a great magazine for the handy homeowner.  The projects are affordable, doable and things you can really use to improve your home.  I recommend it to all my friends.

text: A little disappointed


title: Great Magazine for the DIYer

text: LOVE this magazine!!! I purchased my 1st subscription over 10 years ago and have renewe it every year.  Great for the beginner and advanced DIYers.  Bought subscriptions for other family members too and they also love it!  You can also sign up for daily newsletters, which I always read.


title: Not What I expected

text: Expected to have more stuff about fixing up your home.  This was a let down.

text: My dad has been getting this subscription now, for three years. Although some of the projects are a bit repetitive, he thoroughly enjoys this magazine.


title: GREAT Magazine for DIY

text: Had Family Handyman years ago. Things have kinda changed with the way we build stuff today. Good to keep up with the times. Some easy stuff, and some more advanced, but always detailed instruction from experts.


title: Only received 1 issue

text: 12/2/21 - I've only received 1 issue of my subscription that I started in the summer of 2021. Please refund my money!


title: Buyer Beware - No magazines received and no customer service follow through.

text: Ordered a 1 year subscription, in August, and received one magazine. I emailed Amazon about this problem and they forwarded my complaint/issue to Reader's Digest. No word from Reader's and it's been 10 days. Reader's Digest used to be a respected publisher back in the 70's & 80's but, it appears that they have really gone down hill. I wish I would have read the other reviews related to subscription problems as I never would have ordered this magazine from them. Buyer Beware,


title: Most read

text: Great ideas


title: Wife required

text: I like what I see. I find what I like.  Building is easy when they provide the instructions and my wife provides the pressure to fix it.


title: What's the point of a subscription if you don't receive them

text: Barely got any of them, straight up ripoff. Mostly advertisements, save your money.


title: pleased

text: product is as advertised, and it will be an asset to me as we are building a new house.  I dealt with amazon a few times and have had positive experiences each time.

title: Great magazine

text: I love this magazine. It has beautiful pictures of birds and interesting facts.  Always loved this line of magazines.


title: gift subscription

text: I give this magazine to my hard to please brother and he loves it. He has built several of the projects from the magazine and said  they were well explained and easy  to follow. he has asked me to renew his subscription so I know he likes it. It was very easy to order from Amazonmagazines.


title: I great

text: Nothing


title: Great information

text: Very good ideas from most articles


Good magazine with great ideas and projects. We don't read it often (as landlords), but I would highly recommend this to bored and/or retired individuals looking to spice up their home and backyard.


title: Four Stars

text: Lots of helpfull articles and inforrmation.


title: Buyer Beware, they WILL send you unwanted books

text:
I ordered Family Handyman way back in Feb 2010 for a 1 year subscription.  I liked the magazine at first, with some nice tips here and there, but I decided against renewing.

One reason for this was their tendency to send expensive books, containing recycled information from the magazine, to me without me actually ordering it.  The first time it happened, I kept the book, as I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning.  The second time, I contacted them and told them to never send me another book.  Also, for this second book, I told them I didn't want to waste my time returning it so they should eat the cost, however they were relentless and started sending notices that they would report me and send my account to collections. I ended up buying that overpriced and unwanted book as well and promptly cancelled everything to do with Family Handyman....

Or so I thought.  Fast forward to Oct 2013 and what do I get in the mail?! Another book!  Unfortunately I will now need to waste my time yet again to return a book I didnt order due to their marketing ploy to milk customers for as much as they can.  I'm not even a magazine subscription holder!

Do yourself a favor and stay away to avoid this aggravation.  There are other magazines, specialized books, and websites with much better info than contained in this magazine and they wont send you unwanted merchandise as well!


title: Great

text: This is by far a great mag,  if you are the least bit handy or just want a weekend project.  There are a lot of ideas.


title: So far so good

text: I ordered right before Christmas and it was here within a month.  So far I'm really enjoying the project ideas, tool reniews, tips, etc.  My husband and I both read through the whole thing.  I imagine after a year or so we will start seeing the same things popping up, and will cancel.  But for now, we're really enjoying insight into projects we thought we couldn't tackle...now we can.


title: Favorite Magazine

text: I gave this to myself as a birthday present. Read the whole thing, then go back and reread the articles that I might work on someday.


title: Reorders without permission!

text: I did not reorder a second year! I guess I’m on automatic renewal . Rip off!


title: OK magazine

text: Would not pay more than the $6 I subscribed for. Not very many projects listed.  The tips are wonderful.  Cable management guide was great.  Also the household items for easy tricks is great


title: Gift for Husband

text: I usually don't rate products, but my husband absolutely loved his magazine subscription.  It was a stocking stuffer last year for Christmas.  It has so many helpful tricks and tips for around the house, project ideas like designs for building furniture, sheds, organizing systems and the like, and new tools and products with reviews (which has inspired him to make a list for Christmas this year!).<br />I ordered it a bit early last year so that I could have a few issues tucked away for him, so when the renewal notice was sent to us, he immediately asked for a new subscription for next year.  I'm not making him wait for December this time!

title: REVIEW OF THE FAMILY HANDYMAN MAGAZINE

text: This magazine does an excellent job explaining projects for the beginner.  I would recommend it to anyone performing their own home maintenance projects.


title: Nice magazine for handyman ideas

text: Had a couple years subscription to this. I always looked forward to see what was in it. Good amount of articles and pictures not too full of ads.


title: I loved receiving this as a gift, and have given others subscriptions too.

text: This is a great magazine.  I'm pretty handy already, but there are some super useful practical tips in here, along with several projects large and small.  Some keep me wishing for more time to do them.

title: Great recipes.

text: Great magazine with amazing recipes that are easy to follow.  Most of the ingredients are those most have on hand.


title: Great magazine with lots of helpful information.

text: I like the magazine, but was sent to the incorrect address.  I need to get this corrected.  Fortunately the address was that of a friend and she just delivered it to me.


title: Must have for do-it-yourselfers!

text: This magazine provides clear direction and excellent photos to help you from beginning to end.  Each project has several photos to show you every step along the way. Everything in each photo is very clearly labeled.  There are a wide variety of projects for various skill levels (they note skill level, average time, materials, etc. for each project)  Their articles always seem to cover the type of "fix-it" projects you really need and the "build" or "create" projects are always very nice looking and practical.  Also great handy hints & shortcuts.  All this with a sense of humor, as well!


Reading material entertaining. Lots of good ideas. will consider renewing when the time comes

It has helped give me the confidence to undertake many projects that I ordinarily would not have done.

title: Informative

text: Great read. Love it!


title: Great for homeowner

text: This is a great magazine for the homeowner that hates to pay for an expensive repairman to come in for a 15 min. repair job.  It also has projects that you can do to help update your home if you need to "spuce" it up a bit.  I  know mine is always in need of updating.  This is great for our household.  We have been in our house 22 years, and the house is 31 years old.  We have put on 1000 sq ft., but the rest of it is stuck in the early 80's and not so pretty.  This magazine has helped from the very first issue.  Thanks so much.


title: Worth $10 a year

text: Always full of helpful information.  I have built many of the projects.


title: Great magazine  for DIY..

text: Finally got 2nd issue which means at renewal time!<br />Won't have full year! Next time I get a magazine!  I Will  Go Though  Magazine Subscription  Service!


title: Interesting magazine with practical applicability

text: I haven't tried any of the projects yet (although I can dream). Many appear to be within the reach of novice handymen such as myself. Others are more complex. Magazine has a lot of great tips. One of the publications I save.


title: Best magazine ever !!

text: Best magazine ever !!!. Unless you pay others to do all of your house repairs. It includes many tips from auto to woodworking, its good for any guy.


title: Good for everyone!

text: Love this magazine! Every time I get it I stop what I’m doing and read it cover to cover. I’ve learned great shortcuts and also about lots of different products.  I already signed up for a 3rd year. Best part is only cost me $5.


title: Previous reader

text: I've been a previous reader only to once again be reading this magazine.  This magazine is pretty interesting.


title: Always been great

text: Always enjoy getting Handyman!  And I guess I have to write 16 more words before I can submit this review.


title: Feeling confident about DIY!

text: Learning


title: Great value !

text: Good mag !


title: Auto-renewal scam

text: Beware Amazon will renew this subscription without consent 2-months prior to it expiring and both Amazon and Trusted Media Brands will refuse to cancel and refund you even before the new subscription ships. I have spoken to both Amazon and Trusted Media Brands multiple times about this issue and still have not received resolution.


title: Quick delivery

text: Very quick delivery, item as expected


title: Good

text: Good


title: Great stuff in every issue

text: I love this magazine yhey have great articles with the right amount of detail. The only complaint I have is it needs to be bigger.  I end up reading the whole thing in just one night and find myself wanting more. All in all fantastic and would recommend it to any home owner or do it yourselfer.


title: Do not order... This is a scam...

text: They will send you to a collection agency in a year.  It was advertised for $5.00 for an issue.  I thought I would give it a shot.  I didn't get another issue or communication from Family Handyman until a year later when I received a notice from a collection agency saying I owed them for a one-year subscription.  I went back and looked at all the fine print; there is nothing about an annual subscription, nothing about auto-renewal, nothing at all.  Just a collection notice.  Such a headache... save yourself from getting the headache I am now dealing with.


title: Five Stars

text: what i wanted


title: Only partial fulfillment

text: I'm not sure if it was just me, but I did a subscription and only received 2 magazines in total. I would pass on this if offered again just due to sheer disappointment.

title: A decent magazine but be aware of the scam they do

text:
I will say that I do enjoy the magazine.  However, they have begun pulling the scam that other magazines do and that is to send you unsolicited items such as books for your to review.  The problem with this type of scam is that a few things can occur.

1.  The item is never delivered, but the Family Handyman still wants you to pay for the item even though you didn't receive it and they can't prove you received it.
2.  You return the item through normal mail with no tracking, but the Family Handyman says they didn't receive it so you are still responsible for payment.
3.  The Family Handyman does not pay for return postage if you do not want the item, so you have to pay out of pocket to return the item.
4.  The Family Handyman does not provide an option to opt out being sent unsolicited items.

As I stated the magazine is pretty decent but the practice of the company sending unsolicited items to subscribers with no return postage brings the integrity of the company into question.  If you do subscribe to the magazine be prepared for this.

title: Great dyi book

text: Love the projects in these magazines.


title: Great Father's Day present

title: Great magazine!

text: Great magazine with lots of ideas and well written and displayed!!


title: Great experience

text: Exact replacement, good price, and fast shipment!


title: First Issue Is Really Good

text: Great Magazine! I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far. Better than my last woodworking magazine which hardly ever had projects that you didn't need a full shop and a discount hardwood lumber yard to build. Has practical projects and problems that you might actually use. A+


title: Enjoy It Very Much.

text: There are so any useful tips.  Look forward to the next issue.  Really enjoy the magazine.  Very worthwhile to subscribe to.


title: Good informaation

text: I enjoy reading this magazine.  It has lots of information and suggestions for DIY.


title: Good magazine

text: My son likes this magazine, a lot.  So each year for Christmas, someone usually renews it for him so he can continue his subscription.


title: Great in the Beginning

text:
I have been a subscriber for a little over 3 years and next time it is up I will pass on the renewal.

In the beginning I anticipated the arrival of each magazine and once I received it I read through it in a day. Like most reviewers, I found about 2-3 tips from each magazine. Also like some reviewers stated, it seems the magazine has way to many adds.

I must admit my skill set has increased immensely during the past 3 years due to my job and maybe I have out grown the magazine's beginner level approach and now look for more in depth writing.

My 3-star rating is not a slam but more of a way for me to describe the magazine now as average, where in the beginning it was a solid 4, but never a 5.

It probably is one of the better all around magazines out there for its class, but some of the easy level how to stuff, and massive amounts of adds leave only a few pages an issue that garner my attention, which only amount to about 15 minutes total of reading that issue and off to someone else I pass it along. I can not remember the last issue that I opened it  up again after the first reading.

If you are interested in fixing your own stuff and are not so tool savvy this magazine is for you. If you know your way around the shop, then it will merely be a refresher course every issue with most projects not particularly engaging looking.

Between the numerous adds, the "model" looking laborers, and the "set style" projects it reads almost like you are viewing a glazed over Hollywood like production with commercials every 2 minutes.

Its worth reading if your other better magazines are not there yet.


title: A mighty "HANDY" publication

text: GIve it a shot.....if you do any kind of handy work around the house or office, this mag will provide numerous helpful hints.

title: Five Stars

text: great magazine for DIY person


title: Most definitely recommend

text: Very informative and well put together


title: why so long

text: the issue that prompted me to buy the subscription was full of useful hints and tips as well as well written articles and illustrations.. My big question is why does it take so dang long to receive your first issue  6-8 week with mag subscriptions. Everything else you order from the net arrives wthin,at the most, a week.  What up wid daT?


title: Five Stars

text: Nice


title: Five Stars

text: Really Like


title: Cancel

text: Cancel this subscription. I didn't renew this


title: Would definitely purchase again.

text: Like these magazines so far.


title: Good tips

text: If you do most of the maintainace work around your house, besides the interesting wood projects, this is a great magazine for handy tips.  I pick up at least 2-3 per issue.  For me, that alone is worth the price.


title: good DIY magazine

text: Has several plans and ideas that are interesting


title: great magazine

text: Very interesting stories and recipes


title: quality

text: always great products and plans


I am in love with this magazine as a diy enthusiast, I never pick up a copy and don't find something of interest or help with my projects. I like the level of language that's understandable by even the least skilled persons. Keep up the great work!


title: I got 2 years for the price of one

text: I got a 2 year renewal for the price of one year from the publisher.


title: good magazine

text: I think its a good magazine except there are too many ads in it. Lots of good projects in it though.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good resource


title: Very informative magazine!

text: Love the picks by experts of tools and household items that can help make projects easier or will benefit the home or garage in some way.  The experts' tips and tricks when working on projects are also great, as well as the build-it-yourself projects in each issue.


title: Love it

text: Love this magazine tons of great ideas


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent magazine and the best price around.


title: Five Stars

text: I love all the creative ideas and useful information that I may use in my daily life


title: Knowing what to expect.

text: Even women or men who have no skills can evaluate craftsman at wook.  An advantage without interfering in the<br />professions.


title: Everyrhing

text: Love it


title: Not worth the headache.

text: Bought a on sale subscription.  The second year, as expected, the regular price kicks in.  I found it’s nearly impossible to get your subscription stopped.  Articles were good, but not worth the hassle of finally getting the subscription stopped.


title: Best gift ever

text: My husband loves the magazine


title: No input

text: No input.


title: A lot of interesting stuff

text: I like the magazine and have read it for several years.  Get a lot of good ideas but it often leads me to the big box home improvement stores where I spend money I don't have.


title: Monthly handy man magazine.

text:
Like the handy tips.  Most projects I won't do , but like seeing how they would be constructed.

However, sent in tips that i have never seen or been contacted about.


title: Weekly Coin Newspaper.

text: Interesting articles.  Coin price listings. Enjoy looking at the coin advertising.  Read the advertisements in the rear of the newspaper.


title: Inconsistent

text: Received only 3 issues on a 12 month subscription


title: Simple to difficult projects

text: I love this magazine as much as he does.


title: Great Magazine for Any Homeowner

text: I love this magazine!  It is great for any homeowner or DIYer!  They always have great tips and projects. I especially like the tool recommendations. I got a subscription for my father-in-law as well because he didn’t want to wait for my old magazines any more.


title: Five Stars

text: Good mag


title: Good tool and product reviews

text: Interesting ideas for home improvement.  Good tool and product reviews.


title: Keep posting proyects

text: For proyect


title: Truely Practical for EVERYONE

text: My husband and I have implemented items from P.Handyman - everything from quick-fixes to full projects with great success.  The step-by-step instructions, pictures, and focus articles are always in-line with what we need!  It was recommended by a friend and I have gone on to buy subscriptions our household and for my parents as well.


title: Not worth it !!

text: Don't waste your time with this magazine.


title: Disgusting tricky practices

text: Be alert to Family Handyman’s tactics for renewing.  Some paperwork will put you into a “book order” subscription, even tho you believe you are just ordering or renewing your MAGAZINE.  Suddenly you’ll receive a book with a bill for nearly $30.  Surprise surprise!  Good luck getting resolution to problem. “Keep the book, you don’t own anything, I’ll cancel your subscription STATUS (books).” Hmmm


title: Greatest tips for your home

text: Enjoy the content!


title: Five Stars

text: I always get a lot of good ideas from Handyman. I really enjoy this magazine.


title: Ok

text: Too many adds not enough projects


title: Five Stars

text: he loves it


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine for the handy man or woman even those that are just so in their mind.


title: Ad Central

text: Way to many ads.....


title: Horrible subscription service

text: I love this magazine so I bought the subscription for my son who just bought a new house but after multiple emails and 6 months later he has still not received one issue


title: Great How-Tos right from first magazine!

text: First magazine I received had two articles showing me how to do major projects I want!


title: Relavancy

text: Loved it and learned a lot of different things!


title: Great if you’re into 98% advertisements

text: This is pretty much an advertisement catalog with one or two project in it! I was hoping for more inspiration, if I wanted nonsense advertisements, I would just watch QVC. No auto-renewal here. Disappointing


title: I’d buy it again as long as the price is right.

text: Some good content and plenty of projects.


title: Order early and expect to wait 3 months for it to start showing up

text: Delivered right on time but order early as it takes about 3 months to start getting your magazine delivered. And this is even if you order HM outside of groupon as well. Great deal would get again if offered.


title: Good if you like "snippets" and .. not much else..

text:
My wife got me a subscription to this magazine last year.  Out of the 10 issues I've recieved I've probably gotten about 5 useful things out of this magazine.  Its jam packed full of snippets.  These are literally just handyman tips you could find on the web.  Some of the articles are ok but again its so select that this months articles or project might not be of any use to you.  This last one had a gigantic bookcase which is way beyond MY talents.  Nice plan and all but just looks quite advanced.  The articles are things such as "How to break loose nuts" where they will say things like grind down a wrench to skinny to fit it in places.. or .. if you use heat don't use it near a gas tank...

Its a good magazine but it really is just tips.  Like 1-2 paragraph snippets about minor things.  I'd just like more articles.  This book to me is easily replacable by googling "handyman tips."


title: loyal subscriber

text: best all a round the house fix it magazine I know off!


title: Never again

text: Order it in March and only receive 2 copy so far, will never order any magazine every again.


title: you'll find something

text: you'll usually find something, or some idea, or a new trick that makes your purchase worthwhile during your subscription that will help you recoup your money.


title: Not too bad if you can get it on sale

text: Too many ads and rarely comes on time. Never know which month it will arrive.


title: Three Stars

text: Magazine does not arrive monthly as advertised.


title: No delivery yet .

text: Have always enjoyed  the magazine , unfortunately I haven't stared receiving  the product .


title: Lucky if you even receive an issue.

text: I have only received 1 issue in 6 months. Wish I never subscribed.


title: The magazine for DIY'ers

text:
A must have magazine for DIY'ers.  Projects are presented in a clear adn easy to follow process.  Material layouts for cutting are escellent, and provide even a beginning woodworker with enough detail to develop confidence in their own skills.  The variety of projects are an even better plus - storage solutions from the garage, bathroom, kitchen and outdoor also provide solutions for anyone's needs.

I like the articles on new products,a nd the opportunity for actual users to try out and review new tools is excellent.  I'd rather trust a real user like me rather than a pitchman from the manufacturer!  And who can't laugh at and realte to many of the last page DIY mishaps - most of us have been there, done that!


title: Waste of money and time.

text: Projects are mostly impractical and it is made mostly for ads. Will no renew subscription.


title: Family Handyman is the one

text: For those  people who do odd jobs around the house. This  is the magazine to get. Great ideas can save you money...


title: Great. I've been subscribing to The Family Handyman for ...

text: Great.  I've been subscribing to The Family Handyman for many, many years.

title: Perfectly titled

text:
I have subscribed to This Old House, Wood, Popular Woodworking, Popular Mechanics, and Fine Woodworking.  If I picked one magazine, it would be The Family Handyman.  The magazine is perfectly titled--targeted at family DIYers--and it constantly delivers content that I am looking for and need.  TFH identifies problems the family patriarch needs to solve and then provides a solution: too much clutter in the garage entry way = step by step on how to build a storage system for your garage.  Lawn looks like exploded hay bales = five ways to repair and maintain your turf.  This could be perception, but I feel like the other magazines miss the topics I desire, or they have a different target: create an ornate 17th century inlaid desk! or look at these fifteen fabulous pictures of other peoples' kitchens!  The Family Handyman often has several articles that interest me, and I find myself setting it aside because I am going to use particular articles as a reference for actual projects.  Even when I search for DIY help online, I often turn to TFH.  One of my favorite features is the inclusion of an automotive article in each issue, which emphasizes the rounded handyman role played by so many men and women.

The handyman solutions are, as noted, not pretentious and not really aimed at the gifted furniture maker.  I gasped when I first read that I should build a box by butt joining plywood and fastening it with screws.  What?  No dadoes?  No through tenons?  The magazine matches my skill level, and the crafty guy or gal can always embellish a straight-forward project.  The key to making these projects so doable and attractive is the respect for the amount of time the family handyman has.

The content is the most important aspect of the magazine to me, but I find it helpful that the layout is easy to use, and yes, it is eye-catching.  Few things irritate me more than not being able to find articles buried in a table of contents.  This one is easy to read.  So far, the articles have been easy to discern from the ads, not that I mind ads, I just do not want to hunt for bits of articles hidden in guerrilla advertising.  The plentiful pictures are generally helpful and captioned.

This is my favorite magazine right now; hence the five stars.


title: Handyman Magazine

text: Love this magazine, it give you a lot of good ideas and thoughts how to fix or replace items in your home.


title: Supposed to be a year subscription, not just one magazine.

text: Order was for a year subscription, I only received one magazine.


title: Like Having Your Own Handyman Kit

text: I really like this magazine. This magazine has great ideas and step by step how tos on how to make those dreams come true.


title: Two Stars

text: 1 article and 15 advertisements.


title: Handyman, great magazine for everyday do it yourself people.

text: Very handy hints, interesting topics, plans for building projects, humor on common mistakes made.


title: Good mag

text: I love this magazine. I've subscribed for years, and still almost always learn something new. Others complain about alot of ads, but it doesn't seem like there are any more than in most magazines these days. And if that's what it takes to keep the print version in business then I'm okay with it. I've never had any delivery or renewal issues. Great website, too.


title: All time favorite…

text: This month magazine is chocked full of interesting information.


title: Handyman Mag

text: Very easy to follow directions with price sheets (variable according to location) and advice as to duration of labor and difficulty rating. The projects are very useable and not meant to be showcased but rather items to be used and enjoyed.


title: Wonderful resource for people who do/ or would like to do it themselves...

text: I was married to an engineer for 48 years, and I love this website.  It has instructions for things I need, but am not so sure as to how to proceed without my husband's sometimes snarky comments..  It usually takes a minimal amount of tools and it can be a lot of fun. Enjoy


title: Five Stars

text: Love it!


title: Handy man magazine

text: It was a Christmas present and did not start until weeks later per email. It's middle of January and still not receive it?


title: Best DYI Mag

text: I have been reading Family Handyman for several years and find it very useful for projects around the house, garden and garage.


title: Ride on

text: This the one magazine that I read cover to cover. It has a great variety of articles from travel to tech help.


title: Good as long as you know it's a sales catalog for Lowe's and HD

text: I got hooked on this magazine by one of its non-subscription publications.  It prints a conglomeration of all the tips for the year or more in one magazine.  I bought that issue, then I bought the regular subscription.  I like the tips and hints they put in the magazine.  The color pictures are great.  As with every do-it-yourself publication, the directions are easier said than done.  I like it as an idea mill and a way to see what's new in the home improvement world.  There are also selection guides for home-improvement products and instructions on home maintenance issues.


title: Four Stars

text: good deal


title: great inspiration

text: nice magazine. very informative. I can put my own spin on some of their projects and lots of tips


title: Great Magazine - Great Price

text: I love The Family Handyman.  If you are a do-it-yourselfer, this is the magazine for you.  The subscription price through Amazon is also very reasonable.


title: Help for people who use oil heat

text: no info for people who use oil heating systems


title: Alot of good information

text:
I recently bought a house and have found that I really know very little about maintaining or fixing things.  In the first issue of this magazine, I've found three things that I was able to ask the service guys that have come out to look at the place (I needed electrical, furnace and water work) and each tech asked me the same question.

Are you sure this is your first house?

Some of the articles in this are over my head, but for anyone good with tools, they take the time to show you how to put stuff together.

This is a keeper


title: good prodjects and advice

text: good prodjects and advice, and good read. a little lite on good stuff and very very add heavy probley will NOT renew i do not like adds with stuff i pay for!!!


title: Meh - "hacks" are marginal.

text: Very rudimentary publication. Would not order again.


title: When does the 9 issues come out?

text: My hubby loves the tips in it. But it comes very sporadically. When do the 9 issues come out?  Haven’t gotten one in a few months


title: Great price

text: Great price for two years subscription


title: Price good but content historically was more and better.

text: I use to get this magazine about 15 years ago.  Back then it had twice the content and much better quality. Thank goodness I saved my old copies they are a great reference tool. Very disappointing, but I  will try it for a year because of the low price.


title: magazine review

text: This is a great magazine that is geared for anyone who picks up a tool. Easy to read and understand on all levels.


title: Most have

text: Love this magazine! Full of simple reads that you will use! Every homeowner should get this magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: Love the projects!


title: Amazon Renewal

text: Simple to set up and use Amazon for all my magazine renewals. It took six weeks for the renewal to show up on my TV Guide issue.


title: Great magazine at a great price

text: Love this magazine.  I'm a big time home improvement nut and I continually find myself finding valuable tips in each and every issue.


title: build onward

text: This is such a great magazine. You will find it is full of ideas for most anything from garage to kitchen to bath.


title: Doesn’t come every month 😪

text: Da bomb for new husband, in today’s world when it’s easy to hire, what men should want to do for his family


title: Great Magazine

text: Lots of helpful tips and great project ideas. I trust their reviews of tools. It is a nice magazine for the DIY types and homeowners. The kind of magazine I will keep and not recycle after reading.


title: Great ideas, but a little complex.

text: Started arriving pretty quickly.  I love most of the ideas, but I find many of them are too complex for the average person to build.  I still love looking through it and save them all for a rainy day.


title: Handyman THIEVES - BEWARE OF SUBSCRIBING

text: Ordered a subscription August 2010...never received a single issue.  So I called their customer service a year later (after seeing the magazine on the newsstand triggered my memory of ordering a subscription and realizing I never received anything), and they denied any knowledge of my order, meanwhile I had a copy of my debit card transaction in front of me for -$19.99 FAMILY HANDYMAN MAGAZINE.  After reading other reviews, it seems this is a common occurrence.  There's obviously no way to get my money back, and I won't even give their magazine a chance anymore...


title: Family Handyman

text: Was reading one at my dentist office and decided to get my own subscription, like the tips and projects each month.


title: A little bit of everything

text: I've been a subscriber to this magazine for almost 20 years and I love it. They have a little bit of everything from home repair to remodeling, landscaping, auto repair, woodworking, tool reviews, etc. All-around a great magazine. There's a lot of adds, but what do you expect with such a cheap subscription cost? Easy enough to just turn the page and keep reading.


title: CANCEL THIS ORDER!

text: I did NOT order this! I did a one time order and cancelled all future orders. And I have removed Samatha Deland from my list. Her address was used for a baby shower gift.


title: Don’t bother

text: Not much of substance here. Mostly a vehicle for advertising. Not worth even the very discounted price I paid. Look elsewhere for a how-to guide on home projects.


title: Only got one magazine the entire subscription time.

text: Only received one magazine the entire subscription period. Would never order another magazine through Amazon. Such a joke and complete waste of money


title: Clear and articles that I have an interest in.

text: I am a middle of the road handy man and the articles are written in a manner that are within the level of my abilities and are clear and concise,


title: Covers New and Evolving  Science

text: Very good magazine that gives explanations and descriptions that are not overly difficult to comprehend for many age levels  . . from adults to childre..


title: good

text: all good


title: Good magazine with great ideas

text: This is a good read every month as they have great articles to help you out around the house.  Being a first time homeowner, I do not know a lot of the maintenance tips and tricks to help keep my home to great shape.  This has helped me and I have learned a lot.


title: Five Stars

text: great


title: It was cheap

text: It was on sale.  I wasn't sure what to expect.  I guess I have a different definition of handyman.


title: Project Source Guide

text: A trove of information and projects for the reasonably competent "Handyman," plus a selection of handy hints and tips both new and old.


title: Five Stars

text: Best DIY magazine for beginners!!


title: Great DIY magazine

text: My husband loves all the tips and ideas for different projects


title: Great Magazine for any home owner.

text: The magazine is great for any home owner or craftsman.  There are always good device reviews and good patterns for making interesting things.


title: So much info!!

text: Yes!!


title: New projects

text: Since receiving the first issue of Family Handyman my husband has all kinds of ideas for jobs around the house. I haven't gotten a chance to see the magazine because he has been reading it. It has been  an idea generator.


title: Lots of good information

text: I found that the subjects covered where on point for a homeowner who likes do-it-yourself projects.  directions are succinct  and reviews of equipment is helpful.


title: Articles are not as in the past years.

text: I used to wait with anticipation for Family Handyman to arrive. The projects offered now are, I feel, more for the advanced woodworker. There is no way I can follow directions for most of the offered projects. Please, bring back projects we can accomplish as a ‘FAMILY’. Thank you


title: Review

text: Proof of Heaven was a disappointment.  It was a lot of neurological detail that is not an easy read for a lay person.


title: Five Stars

text: my favorite wood magazine


title: Don't Pay with Credit Card

text: My beef with Family Handyman is the fact that once you pay with your credit card, they keep renewing your subscription WITHOUT notifying you a few months before that they will be doing it automatically.  Even though I logged in and cancelled my subscription (after they already charged my card), I still have not received an email confirming the cancellation and my status still says:  ACTIVE PREFERRED SUBSCRIBER.  I've had to call my credit card company to complain about this.<br />In addition, Family Handyman is not what it used to be.  Their articles are full of big projects that only a person with tons of time would do.  Nothing practical, like installing a toilet, an extra electric box, etc...  You're better off just going on the Internet and looking for the project you want to do (like in You Tube).  I would never subscribe to this magazine again.


title: Great gift for hubby

text: He loves the issues


title: Five Stars

text: just got the first copy looks to be a good mag..


title: well put together magazine that I have subscribed to for 10 years or so.

text: This is one of the last magazines I have a print subscription to, and it is worth it (I also have the digital subscription).  The contents are produced by a knowledgeable staff with expert 'guest' advice/knowledge as well.  It makes for an entertaining and useful magazine that I enjoy cover to cover 95% of the time. Plus: It doesn't feel like a giant collection of ads, or like sponsored product placement (but recommends new and top products at the same time. )


title: wife of handyman

text: This is a great magazine.  It has inspired my husband to undertake numerous projects and to do them well.  The instructions, from my perspective, seem detailed and easy to follow.  There are a lot of pictures which really helps.  I also enjoy perusing the magazine, specially the goofs section and reader ideas.<br />I am giving this as a gift to my brother-in-law because he just bought his 1st house.


title: ok

text: ok.


title: These reviews are just fake

text: The entire magazine is about advertising I was so mad this is just a piece of $#@&. From the beginning to the end is just add, one or two ideas and that it, I know you will be amazed by the amount of good reviews, believe me, don't do it, don't spend your money here.


title: What an awesome magazine!!!!!!

text: I love the Handyman magazine.  Just be careful what you show your significant other, they might want you to start making ALL the improvements on their timeline instead of yours!  (Nothing like a little motivation though!)


title: Interesting, Helpful, and Informative

text: Great magazine!  Not only does our family enjoy it, we have given it as gifts to our young adult children and they all have found it interesting and full of good ideas and hints, plus easy to follow instructions on how to build and / or repair things.  It is great for the homeowner or anyone who is thinking of becoming a homeowner.


title: Great Magazine

text: It's always a quick read, but has lots of good tips and seasonal projects.  Good gift for the old man...
