Are you shopping around for power scooters? They can really transform the life of someone who feels trapped inside and is unable to get out and enjoy the outdoors because of limited mobility due to arthritis, weak legs, a bad back, or some other condition. Here are the questions you want to ask the sales person when you are shopping for a scooter:
1. How long has this model been out for? (A model that's been out for a few months or a few years will have been "road tested" by other users so it will uncover any problems before you get it).
2. Is it front wheel drive (sometimes called "mid" wheel drive) or rear wheel drive?
3. What is the clearance on this scooter? (This will help you know how big of bumps you can go over if you have to).
4. How much does this power scooter cost?
5. What features does it have?
6. What is the difference between this scooter and power scooters that are slightly more expensive and slightly less expensive. (Asking this question will help you determine how they are pricing their extra features...you might find a less expensive scooter that suits your needs or you might find that a slightly more expensive scooter is far more appropriate for you).
7. How fast will this scooter go? (Of course you don't want to join a race, but it's important to know how fast it goes because you don't want to be surprised by the top speed if you accidentally press it to go that fast).
8. How far will the scooter go on this battery?
9. How long with a recharge take?
10. Should I purchase two batteries and simply switch them back and forth?
11. What accessories are available for this scooter?
12. How much more does a canopy cost?
13. Which tires do you recommend for the type of driving that I am most likely to do? (Here, you'll have to tell the sale associate what kind of driving you do: do you stay mostly indoors or do you like to go outdoors or do you like a mixture of both? If you like to go outdoors, you'll have to tell the associate whether or not you live in an area that can get muddy or snowy.)
14. How often should I get my scooter tuned up? (Remember, power scooters are just like cars in that they need to be tuned up periodically).
15. Is there a service plan and a warranty?
16. Are there other options available? (Don't buy the first power scooter you see that is in your price range without checking on the available options

Buying a camcorder can be a puzzle. When you log on to the internet and access any online sites that sell or showcase camcorders you will find your mind boggled by the number of models and features. The website www.comcorderinfo.com is impressive but for a newbie to camcorders many technical aspects and so on can create problems.
When you decide to buy a camcorder you need more than money and excitement. You need to be able to ask questions that will clear the confusion and help you choose the right camcorder for you and not be pushed into buying a model the online store or retail store is pushing.
Here are a few questions you can ask:
1.Find out where the camcorder recordings are stored. The most common media is a minidv, or tiny cassettes that record the highest resolutions. There is little or no compression so the recording is crystal clear. The other options are DVDs, flash media cards, and memory sticks.
2.Ask about the battery power and life. Most camcorders have battery power for about an hour of recording. Find out whether you have other options. Buy a back up battery and take it along with you.
3.Ask about whether the camcorder has manual controls as an option. There may be instances when you would like to set the exposure and so on.
4.Be sure to determine whether there is an “auto" mode. Ask the sales person to demonstrate. Discover for yourself whether you are happy operating the camcorder in auto as well as manual modes.
5.Most camcorders have at least two ports to transfer data to your computer. Be sure to ask questions and ask about connectivity cables too.
6.Never go by what the sales person recommends ask about the higher model and lower model. Very often although there is a considerable price variation there is little or no difference between functions.
7.Never forget to ask about accessories and models by other manufacturers. Keep your eyes and ears open for tips.
8.Find out about guarantees and return policy. This will protect your interests.
9.Ask what the difference between brands and models are. Determine the pros and cons of at least three options.
10.Since a camcorder is expensive ask about shipping as well as transit insurance.
Camcorders are expensive and it is important for you to ensure that the gizmo is worth the money you are paying. So, be sure to formulate a list of questions you want answers to. Be a wise shopper and comparison shop you need to compare not just prices but features too!
