Easy to read easy to put down
February 10,2011
For the most part the articles are just surface level stuff. Even if the article covers a few pages, you can probably figure out most of what your about to read from the title. It's good 2 minute read stuff.
Still a stalwart magazine crammed full of advice!
February 1,2011
Although P.M. has sort of become modernized and seems to be dumbed-down somewhat from a decade or more ago, it's still crammed full of great stuff, and I doubt I would be too short-sighted to say men will like it more in GENERAL than the ladies because we're such tinkerers by nature. I haven't missed an issue since about 1985 when I was immersed in my first foray into PM's wondrerful projects!
A wonderful magazine for the small room
January 29,2011
I grew up reading Popular Mechanics and lost the habit nearly 50 years ago but with this renewal the fond memories of what it contains came back in a way better than expected with the understandable explanations of electronic gadget workings as well as the more traditional topics I remembered.
Ordered as gift, but enjoying it myself
January 26,2011
I ordered this magazine as a gift for my husband for Christmas last year. He's interested in the kinds of articles that Popular Mechanics and Popular Science writes, so I thought it would be nice for him to have something to read over breakfast or (God forbid!) on the toilet. :)
I ignored the first issue that came. But the second issue that came was just sitting on the counter, begging to be read. I picked it up and started reading and found that the magazine had a lot to offer, not just for mechanical geeks like my husband, but technology geeks like myself. I found that the articles were not just geared towards men - which is sometimes difficult to find in magazines like these - and that the articles weren't written in techno-babble so they were easy to understand.
I just ordered 2 more years of the subscription, we've liked it so much! Now we have to fight over who gets to read the magazine first!

Very interesting reading for those who like to know how things work

I really enjoyed this magazine, there are some very interesting articles and I found something interesting to read in each issue. If you enjoy seeing how things work or what the latest gizmos are you'll like this magazine.
Rockin'

The magazine continues to deliver the goods without excessive hype, and can significantly improve our understanding of how things work, in a culturally sensitive context. I like it.
Great Content
November 26,2010
I've been reading Popular Mechanics for so long I don't remember when I started it's THAT good. The magazine has the most up to date and interesting articles. If you have even just a little bit of curiosity in your brain then you will enjoy reading about all of the new gadgets and new technology that is out there. Along with Popular Science these two magazines will keep you riveted with their new product features and the really interesting articles about various interesting and significant facts, figures and data. Keep your mind refreshed and your knowledge up to date with the two Populars. Mechanics and Science for those who like to stay at the forefront of what's going on in the world.
GREAT PUBLICATION

Popular Mechanics is a very informative publication, and not only for those mechanically inclined. It contains advices for most everyone.

Popular Mechanics remains as unique and creative a magazine as it was 3 decades ago when I was reading it as a kid. The new tech info and gear is awesome. I love the projects but have little time to complete them. I think the magazine provides wonderful entertainment value and I appreciate the hard work of the writers and editors.
