I've looked at both and decided that the money saved on the UTG is definitely worth it, given the build quality on the UTG is very good. <br /> <br />This bag would work okay for a short hike, a camera bag (Not DSLR though), small airplane carry on for incidentals. <br /> <br />I am using it for carrying assorted 'crap' for myself and two young boys when we go on trips to Disney and other such places. Has more than enough room to carry cameras (still and compact HD Video both), extra batteries and cards, sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottle, keys, liquid bandage (hey, they're boys...), antiseptic, two-way radio, extra socks for wet boy feet (again, they're boys...), and much more. Yeah, I use it basically the same way my wife would use her large purse and I'm not embarrassed! lol. Some of the compartments have a rubberized type sealing between them an other compartments, which makes holding wet stuff (such as wet boy socks) away from other stuff you want to keep dry. <br /> <br />A lot easier to carry and access than even a small backpack since it can ride comfortably on the front of your body. Rather than having to take the pack off each time you want to get something in or out. Personally, I would not take something like this in the place of a Camalback for hiking, but that's a whole different ballgame. <br /> <br />The only thing that UTG should do is have matching buckle plastic hardware. Its pretty standard on most packs now. Put foliage hardware on ACU packs, OD on OD packs, black on black, etc. Rather than black on everything.

I didn't really mind, and realize that this might be because of the machine, rather than the cleaner, but overall, great product.

Miller Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:32:38 +0000 http://www.crazydesires.com/2010/03/gem-jewelry-cleaner-concentrate/#comment-227 I had read on other reviews that with the sonic cleaner that I purchased it was just as effective to use dish soap or just hot water, but this cleaner provided much better results than the others. I love this cleaner, and love the job it does. I have people notice my engagement ring from across restaraunts and part of the reason that it is so beautiful is becasue I always keep it cleen. I use a capful of this and very very hot water and just wait for it to come out looking great. I used it on my high school class ring and could not believe the difference. I'm ording more, I wish I could get a gallon of this stuff!

Reed Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:18:25 +0000 http://www.crazydesires.com/2010/03/gem-jewelry-cleaner-concentrate/#comment-226 I bought a Kendal super sonic jewelry cleaner for my wife for Christmas. Other people's experience indicated that a detergent would help make the sonic cleaner perform well. So I ordered the Gem & Jewelry Cleaner Concentrate through Amazon but from an outside source, Blitz Manufacturing. When the cleaner concentrate arrived the plastic bottle was "shop worn" and the printing on the container was virtually unreadable. My wife tried the concentrate in the Kendal sonic cleaner and was not too impressed with the performance. The Kendal super sonic jewelry cleaner works great, but the product from Blitz was discarded. A bit of dish-washing detergent was all that was required. So, the Kendal super sonic jewelry cleaner is a good product that performs very well. The experience with the Blitz concentrate was disappointing. It wasn't expensive, so we shrugged and tossed it. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought a Kendal super sonic jewelry cleaner for my wife for Christmas.

My email complaint to the Blitz customer service was answered almost immediately, and a new bottle shipped out free of charge. I just received the second shipment, used the cleaner, and it's great!!! Highly recommend doing business with Blitz!
