Worked in one house, but not the other...
When we were in our old house, it worked fabulously. I liked the night light to softly light up the room to see without turning on the main light. The receivers worked really well. The one thing I disliked was the way they ate up batteries. Gobbled 9 volts very quickly - less than 12 hours...But, it works very badly in this new house. We have to buy something else because all I get is static and it's very annoying. | 1positive

INCOMPATIBLE WITH NEW MAC'S!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been a Nikon Super CoolScan 4000 user for years and those years have been filled with anxiety and pain.The reason? I choose to use Mac computers. I hear the same from Mac Users who have made the mistake of buying the CoolScan V. Take my informed advice Nikon could not care less for us. They have never had a driver for the Mac that works well.SUMMARY: NIKON HAS NO COMPATIBLE DRIVER FOR NEW MAC COMPUTERS (as of 8/2007). AND ANY PAST DRIVERS WERE ONLY PARTIALLY COMPATIBLE WITH NON-INTEL MAC.CONCLUSION: DO NOT BUT THIS PRODUCT IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE MAC COMPUTERS. | 0negative

Short life span
This fan was fine while it worked, but it lasted less than 12 months before the bearings ceased. That's a disappointingly short life. | 0negative

Griffin Direct Deck
This mp3 cassette really has High Definition sound. I opened the package, put it in the cassette player, and couldn't believe the sound quality that it had. I bought a Phillips one before, but this one is totally a better buy. | 1positive

Great dive computer, but accessories no longer available
I bought this watch about three years ago in 2004. It works great as a dive watch - screen is easy to read and audible alerts are very good. It handles mixed-air and variable mixed-air ratios as well as multi-stage decompression. It's dive logging is excellent and the dive manager software by Suunto does a pretty good job of showing it back to you.HOWEVER, I called Suunto today and found that they no longer sell replacement wrist straps (watch bands) for the Stinger model. I'm pretty annoyed by this as it is an expensive dive computer and only a few years old.So beware - your diving computer will only last as long as the wrist strap does. After that, you'll need a different way of securing the watch to your arm or dive kit.These were the model numbers of the old wrist strap accessories (no longer available):titanium 1000L5898metallic 1000L5812elastomer (rubber) 1000L5838I'm not sure I'll buy another Suunto product after this - you shouldn't burn your customers when offering premium products. | 1positive

Great Idea - Fragile Construction
I've been using my Sony MDR-NX1 earphones for about 9 months. The "necklace-pendant" type design is a great idea. It lets you just hang a small MP3 player from your neck, suspended in the center of your body rather than off to one side in a pocket or arm band. This provides for some measure of wire control, so you don't end up with a bunch of slack to have to tuck in some place. It also lets the wire branch off to the left and right at equal distant points from your neck so you don't end up with one side constantly getting too short and thus pull on your ear when you turn your head......which drives me nuts! I use an iPod Nano...4th generation, which is nice and small, and along with a clear silicone sleeve that provides a point to attach the lanyard so that the weight is not suspended by the plug. I just start my music and then drop the whole thing down inside my shirt so it's protected and doesn't move around much at all. The left and right sides pop out of my collar evenly.....very neat. All in all a nice system for avoiding some of the problems found with trying to manage the 4 foot long cord that comes with most earbuds. So... the concept is GREAT! The design has some problems though. As it turns out the wires slide though several small plastic pieces that provide some friction so you can adjust the length of your left and right buds, but over the course of a couple weeksI found that the weight of just the little iPod Nano was enough to make the cord start to slip very slowly through the plastic until it was too short and tugging on my ears when I turned my head. The wires are of average weight and diameter for standard ear buds.....I think they should be heavier and thicker since on a unit like this they not only carry the music, they carry the weight of your MP3 player. When you go to adjust the length....you really have to pull fairly hard on the wires to make them move through the plastic and it feels like you are going to tear them apart. And sure enough after 9 months the metal wires started pulling through the sides of the insulation. So now I've got some exposed wires and kinked up insulation and unable to adjust it any more, it won't be much longer before it destroys itself. At $35-$50 bucks replacement cost I'm not real happy that these were built to be so fragile. Other than that.......sound quality is good, and the silicone ear cushions get loose and start falling off after about 4 months.I'm really love this design and don't want to go back to stupidly long wires found on other earbuds. So I'm going to try and duplicate this using some much cheaper earbuds and will form a loop around my neck, then pinch a blob of epoxy putty around it so as to form an attachment point for a short piece of cord to take the weight of the iPod. I might even use one of those hollow shoestrings to run the wires through and make it more comfortable around my neck. Once I get it figured out I'll make a YouTube video and post the link here for you. I wish Sony would make an improved version of this but I don't see it on their website other than as refurbished ones for $34.....I'll pass. | 1positive

No problems but request a manufacturing tweak.
I haven't had any problems with the surge protector. But, if Belkin were to do some product tweaks, I would ask for better hanging holes (on the back) and a new on/off switch. Several times I have accidentally flipped the on/off switch. Unfortunately, my DVR needs constant power for the guide to stay active - it was messed up for almost 12 hours. | 1positive

Very bad product, very bad experience
It came with all of the sensors damaged, so I had to buy a new one in my country because there are no spare parts for this, cos I'm not at USA I had waste 31,20USD and now I only have 6.24USD that they refund me and I have a useless device on a box even it was new.

POOR Tech Support & Not What it's cracked up to be
First off, it took me forever to get someone on the phone for tech support. Before purchasing, the tech told me of how easy it was to hook up in my 06 CTS. Well, it wasn't as easy as he said. I think removing the back seat and the cover surrounding the sub to be a big deal and a major pain in the arse. Thank god I am mechanically inclined because the average person would have taken it to a dealer. Secound problem was that I wasn't getting sound out of the right side of the car speakers, so called them back. He told me I was gonna have to cut one of the wires on the unit! I asked how am I suppose to do that, he says " just cut it and solder it back together"......Like everyone has a solder gun and moreover, why should I have to cut wires on a brand new unit. The guy was a idiot and told me to cut one wire and after I did it, he said I wasnt suppose to do that and he told me not too. COMPLETE EFFIN IDIOT! Glad I was able to fix it but it wasnt because of his help. It also screws with your XM by putting the last song played or the last artist info on the upcoming song. Overall, really pricey, poor tech support(liars) for the product. If it had of been $20 at Wal-Mart, I could understand and be happy with a $20 piece of shiat. | 0negative

Greatly Enhances Photos
This accessory does what it claims and you can't go wrong with it as just about every photographer with a high end flash seems to have one! I bought this specifically to use taking indoor photos when I have just a main flash. This simply slips over the flash and expands the light to fill the room. The result is no harsh shadows around your subject giving you very nice well lit picture (for using one light source). | 1positive

Great for the patient
I was hopeful that the 628 would be a decent universal remote, but that wasn't the case for me. My major gripe is the inability to easily set custom options. The configuration is so wizard driven, that the only way to make modifications is to spend time on-line making adjustments, sending the updates, then make more adjustments. The nomenclature for device inputs, outputs, etc, on-line doesn't match the nomenclature on the device and I ended up flailing around trying to figure out what input Video 1 matched to my TV. The Tivo module put the Tivo into sleep mode when I wanted to watch a DVD, but wouldn't wake it back up. Finally, many of the Tivo and DVD options were not available and I would have had to the mapping by hand.One of the comments below mentioned that a technical person could make this remote work. It's not a technical person, but a person willing to spend lots of time trying different option combinations to get the setting just right. I want to watch TV, not program a remote control. For example, when switching from Watch a DVD to Watch TV with the Tivo, the remote wouldn't set the TV up to the proper input and channel. I had to pull out the TV remote to adjust it. About three rounds of config changes fixed that problem, but then the remote wouldn't wake up the Tivo. I don't know why the Tivo was being put to sleep since the DVD was on a different input, but there ya go. In order to wake up the Tivo, I would have to hit "Watch TV", then select "Other Actions" and choose menu. Not exactly one click.A number of options for the DVD like Skip Chapter, Menu, etc were not available on the remote and I imagine I would have to diddle with the settings to get them started. Same with missing settings for the Tivo, like changing tuners, Instant Replay, etc. I can do everything of what I need with the Tivo and DVD remote more simply. When I plan on expanding my electronics, I will be looking for something more customizable.My recommendation is to try it for a few days and if you can't get it set properly, send it back. | 0negative

Won't synch with Outlook Calendar
On the first synch, the log showed a series of internal errors, none of which identifed which entries were causing the problems. Tech support said to remove all recurring entries with no end date. I did so. Same problem. Tech support said to remove all entries that spanned midnight. I did so. No joy. Tech support said to move all calendar entries to another folder and put them back a few at a time. synching after each to see which entries are the problem ones. I decided it's not worth it.If Palm can't make their calendaring system completely compatible with Outlook, they should at least identify the problem entries in the error log so that the user can fix them without Easter egging. | 0negative

Misleading Advertisement
I ordered this HP 5610 because it specifically states under the Product Description that it is compatible with Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE. I did receive the product 2 days after I ordered it, however, upon attempting to load the software I received an error message stating that it does not support Windows 98. (The Product Description also mentioned other operarting systems that are not supported) Needless to say, I am now returning the printer back to Amazon.com. | 0negative

Nice while it lasted
This DVD player was great but the laser died out after a couple of months.As far as features go this was great. It plays mpegs & jpegs right off of burned discs. I was even able to play mp3s off a burnt dvd, many players will on play off of regular cds. It was also region free and played PAL discs with no trouble at all.The picture quality defenitly was subpar. But for $40, you can't complain. | 0negative

how many returns does it take to convince you this is a dud?
I, too, had to return this twice to Costco -- once because a piece snapped off (oh, no, I can never change the battery pack again!) and once because the screen went black. In the second hour of a four hour trip. Just prior to a six hour plane ride. GRRRRRRR.Thanks, but no thanks, Mintek. And thank god for Costco's easy-return policy. I had long since lost my (second!) receipt but they took it back anyways for credit. Which I used up buying groceries, since I will NEVER buy any DVD player by Mintek again. | 0negative

Perfect for Projector Ceiling Mount

Great Sound, bad wiring
I bought these for myself in June. I found them to be great, noise cancelling, decent range of bass and treble. BUT, after 5 weeks, I lost one channel when the wiring went bad at the jack end. The stiff piece meant to protect the wiring was so inflexible that it ended up pulling the connection loose at the jack. The cost to return and service was ridiculous, when you can just replace them for less. Too bad. | 0negative

One of The Best WebCams Out There For Mac OSX Systems Lacking iSight
I bought this to put on my home theater computer that's based on a Mac Mini (Core2Duo) running OS X Leopard to add iChat AV and Skype Video to our living room system. Being a USB Video Class device made using it literally plug-n-play. Be sure to consult with Google/Wikipedia for information about which versions of these Logitech QuickCams support the UVC standard before purchasing one for your Mac. I also purchased one of these for my parents to use on their WinXP desktop via Skype Video and the cross platform image quality is superb, even on a 720p HDTV.One criticism is the use of the camera in low-light conditions. Blockiness occurs and it's hard to push the video gain w/o creating other artifacts (speckles and grains). Not a show stopper and a common issue with any webcam. | 1positive

Good value with caveat
Overall, the MDR-EX81LP is a decent replacement over the Apple supplied earbuds that came with my iPod shuffle, but too much bass for my taste, the midrange is a little weak and vocals suffers. The hangers are a bit large for my ears and as such, don't fit snug around my ears, but they aren't falling off. After useing them for a couple of hours of listening, my ears don't feel fatigued. I would have liked the EX81LP's to be more 'neutral' sounding, but good value for what you pay. | 1positive

Affordable, high quality of Kensington!
I immediately fell in love with this mouse the first time I used it. The contours fit perfectly into your hand, whether being left or right-handed.There are 4 programmable buttons, as well as the fifth button in the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel can be programmed as well.This mouse can be used with a USB or serial/ps2 connection. The convenience, which should I choose? USB of course, but for those of you who don't have a USB equipped computer, don't fret.The optical mouse are superb these days, since they do not require a good surface to be used on. Wheel mice are horrible now, how can I go back to a mouse with a dinky wheel?!I have a desk with a crack in the center, which a wheeled mouse would studder as I roll it over the crack. Not with this optical mouse, it doesn't even flinch when I roll it over the crack!I highly recommend this mouse to anyone who is skeptical about an optical mouse. | 1positive

Despite hours of effort and my B.S. in computer science, I can't get this card to work with Windows ME. It will occasionally work for 3-4 minutes and then it doesn't work for hours. I downloaded the newest driver and utility but still no luck. I'll be looking for a new card. | 0negative

USB Ports Do Not Draw Enough Power
I purchased this keyboard set when a spilled cocktail took my Apple keyboard out of commission and I didn't want to pay $50 to replace it. This, though it lacks the aesthetic qualities of newer keyboards, is a perfectly fine replacement EXCEPT for one thing: the USB ports on the keyboard don't draw enough power for an iPod to function (sync, charge, transfer music). They also don't draw enough power for my USB scanner to function. Since the existence of USB ports on this keyboard was one of the major reasons I chose it over other options (I was also considering wireless keyboards, most of which don't have built-in USB ports), this is a major letdown. I will probably keep it, out of sheer laziness, but be warned that the USB ports here are effectively useless. | 0negative

All you need!
I compared a couple of brands of boxed subs at the stores, and the Pyle, though cheapest, sounded then best. I have one in each car. They give a nice solid punch. Not enough for the sonic boomers, but my 8" pyle box coupled with 2 infinity kappa 6x9's in back (components up front) and an infinity 6-channel amp has put many average just plain loud and sloppy installations to shame! Not just loud, but clean and loud. The Quoobz are a good secret choice. | 1positive

Go with Netgear instead; this one does not work as advertised
This product does not work as advertised. Netgear has a much better product out now that costs roughly 150 at comp-usa. I'm on the first floor, and the Netgear is on the second floor, roughly 50 feet away, and I still get full strength! Try that with linksys. It just doesn't work.The range does not work on linksys.The speed does not work.The connection, even when successful, can go out at any time.Customer support is always there, but they will not solve your problem. They will have you uninstall and re-install, and waste time, because they can't tell you that this product should have never been mass-produced and does not work as advertised; they know the truth but are not allowed to disclose it.It will work well only on short range, but not through walls. | 0negative

Think a little before buying this card
Once upon a time, I was looking to get a larger SD card. 16GB for $40? Why not? I might not use all of it, but better more than less. Following that train of thought, I looked for the fastest 16GB card in the range. Transcend. An established company wouldn't put out a lemon, would it? The 100 or so one star reviews were tempered by the 500 five star ones. I was feeling lucky, so to speak. Unfortunately, I was not (mostly). A week into college, it decided to brick up on me, right after a beach party event. To its credit, I had taken more than 1000 pictures with it over about three weeks. Still, $40 down the drain. I will never trust Transcend again, thus making the warranty useless.Now, my point. If you're looking at the ratings, 1/6 of the reviews are one star, for one reason or another. Most likely, you will be part of the group that has no problems. This card was EXTREMELY fast. HDTune got 17-20 mb/s consistently. It had more space than I could have ever filled. For those lucky people, this card is ideal. For the minority, this card will be hell. It has more space than you could fill over a two week cruise, before destroying every one of the pictures. Personally, I count myself lucky in that respect. All that was lost was a sunset event. But think: do you want to take that gamble with your precious memories? Do you? | 0negative

Would buy again
These are great speakers, with a great sound for the size. Runs on normal batteries (not hard to find), with a long battery life. While the sound isn't as good as a big home system or boombox, I wasn't expecting it to be. The international power adapters and small, compact (folding) design make it easy for traveling. For what it is, I'd buy it again. | 1positive

Handy CD storage
This DC storage was exactly what I wanted: protective, slotted, able to store the case as well as the CDs, very portable, and unobtrusive. I keep one in the car to hold a selection of my favorite discs, and they're quite accessible and orderly. I bought two, and am perfectly satisfied with them. The closing zippers work easily, and they're just what they ought to be. It's solid enough, slightly padded, and I can sling the whole thing into the back seat, if need be, knowing the actual CDs are safe inside. | 1positive

Very disappointing. Quality of this mouse is cheap. Left-clicking problem seems to be very common. You've been warned!
I'm sure most people get excited when they buy a new product, and thus review that the product is great right away. Well, I have been using this mouse daily for about a month now and I am NOT impressed.I bought this mouse mainly because it was on sale after rebate for a very cheap price -- and I can see why it was so cheap: the product itself is cheap in quality as well. I'll probably be using the word CHEAP a lot in this review to describe this mouse. I would be very mad if I had paid retail for this. It's not worth it. Jonathan "Fatal1ty", "a world top gamer", designed this mouse? I think he should just stick to what he is supposably good at -- playing games -- than enginnering a mouse.The clicking noise of the mouse just sounds very cheap and loud. I would not want to be in a room with a bunch of gamers using this mouse: it would be a clicking hell frenzy. Let alone, you will annoy someone trying to sleep using this mouse at night.After a month, the response for the left click just has gone terribly bad; I have to click really hard to get a response or sometimes it double clicks even though I am clicking once. It is very frustrating. It seems the cheap microswitches inside (I uploaded a picture in Picture Gallery), which creates the loud clicking noise, can't reach against the button or it just won't trigger anything. I'm sure you're thinking I just had a defective product, right? Well, you can take your chances but this is actually a common problem being discussed in the Creative forums. You can google "Creative Fatal1ty clicking problem" and you should see some of it come up. Terrible quality control. I have not even used this mouse for any games yet, only for casual browsing and navigating my computer -- hardly abused the mouse -- and yet the mouse can't handle that? Wouldn't gamers need to constantly use the left mouse as their primary action button? -- and also have to react fast and press on the mouse quickly, or some would pound, on the mouse? It seems Creative only tested this product to a group of people for one day. Don't expect this mouse to last. You may, however, open up the mouse (which will probably void your warranty) and keep clicking on the microswitch with your fingers and try to "revive" (it could be stuck or not in the correct position) it. After doing that, it seems it temporarily fixed itself for me.The "True Grip" 5 point control system -- #1. a small button on the left side of the mouse (thumb), #2. regular left click (index finger), #3. scroll wheel (middle finger), #4. regular right click (ring finger), #5. another button right next to the right click (pinky) -- is where Creative wants you to have each finger resting on a button: this is extremely awkward. I doubt people would adjust to use the mouse that way. Why do we need to change our way of holding the mouse? The mouse should be adjusting to us! If they really wanted people to use this mouse that way, they really need to design the mouse bigger. The mouse feels like a laptop mouse.The Teflon feet on the mouse is nothing special, although they seem to advertise that as some sort of special feature. You know they're getting desperate when they're also stating the cord on the mouse as something special too: "SpeedWire Zero - Oxygen Copper Wire". I mean, sure, it sounds cool, but I see "Zero" benefit. There's also an illuminated light on the side of the mouse with the Fatal1ty logo; I think this was added as an cover-up of the overall look of the mouse, because added lights make it seem like it has more value. Oh, and black color always looks good. Without those two key points, this mouse will not be able to deceive some people -- it'll really look cheap just like how it was made.Pros:- Quick CPI mouse speed change and LED to indicate which mode you're on.- Changing of weighted mouse is unique, I have to admit... but it's not a mindblowing feature. (there is also a con, however)Cons:- It just feels very cheap; the quality is not something I expected from Creative, especially it being promoted by a professional gamer as well.- Clicking noise is too LOUD (compared to a quality mouse) and it just sounds cheap.- Terrible enginnering, especially the microswitches.- I don't think the weights are that secure - again, it just feels CHEAP and some weights rattle.If you're looking for a gaming mouse or an all-around mouse, I'd go with Logitech. | 0negative

Versatile, compact, and light
This camera is fairly compact and light, with decent zoom and lots of adjustments if you know how to use them. You can manually set everything.It's fast, both turning on and between shots, although with only two batteries, the flash slows it down. Also, the flash is fairly weak.There is a warning when it thinks you need to be extra careful about camera shake, which seems to come on almost all the time. There is no stabilization built in. But it seems to take good pictures. | 1positive

Interband radio
If you like the way this radio looks and like the performance potential and if the reviews are ok, then buy it. I think that since the government hasn't banned this radio from sale, there must be a reason. Perhaps if there were an event in the US of great enough magnitude, the government, including local, state and federal, wouldn't think twice about communicating with someone with a radio of this kind. In a crisis anyone with any kind of radio would be an asset. But please, don't abuse it. Buy two and put one in a metal box of some kind to shield it from EMP. That way, if there is a crisis, you can get back up and running. | 1positive

Great Small Speaker with Bigger Sound than Expected
First, I should say that I am big fan of JBL speakers. I have a set of 135 surround speakers that I bought a few years ago and I still use the small surrounds as my rear surround speakers as well as the subwoofer.Anyway, I bought these to replace an in-wall speaker that I have from Cambridge Soundworks. (We put a bookshelf in rendering my in-wall speaker useless). I am very impressed by the construction & sound of this speaker. It is solid feeling, very nicely designed and sounds great. | 1positive

Considering the price=5-stars. CORD LENGTH!
I am not much of a reviewer, and usually avoid 5 or 1 star reviews. The reasoning behind my 5th star is purely value. $14!This is my second pair of these headphones. I broke my first pair when it slipped off my lap and swung under my rocking chair before I leaned back...haha, oops. No headphone would have survived this stupidity.I am not looking for high quality sound. These are not high quality. I use these to listen to podcasts, and the occasional YouTube video, late at night when everyone is asleep. The sound quality of most podcasts, or video, is poor, so why get high performance phones? They don't hiss or hum or anything annoying.I am looking for comfort. These headphones are big and cushioned. I can keep them on for hours. They do get warm & sweaty which sucks, but unlike other phones they sit around the pinna(Outer Ear) instead of pressing them against your skull which becomes very uncomfortable.OH YEAH! CORD LENGTH! That was the main reason I chose these over comparable phones. They are listed as 8ft, but mine measures 8' 5" from plug tip to Left Side Ear Cup. If I remember correctly, other cords are 3-5 feet. Big difference. As I said above I am in a rocking chair while using these, and usually working on something and tend to move around. This cord allows me to move around my work area no problem.They are also made quite well. I owned my first pair for 3 years, and have had this set for almost a year now. The strap that goes over your head is flexible allowing you to take one cup off an ear, also allows some give if you happen to step on them, haha. Still plenty rigid though while wearing them. Cord is thick and durable, even after being squashed under my rocker for a night. None of those inline volume adjusters which are always a weak point.CON:The only problem with these headphones is the rails used to make these adjustable are terrible. They do NOT stay in place at all once off your head. They are fine when wearing them, but if you take them off and put them back on they will have slide down to the smallest setting. This is annoying, but not that bad. I use them at maximum length, so I wrapped hair ties(cloth covered rubber bands) around the rails to prevent them from sliding when off my head. Problem solved.I don't know how I rambled on so long for a cheapo set of headphones, haha.$14 for a comfortable way to listen to poor quality audio with enough cord to move around.If you don't like em, donate them.Eb | 1positive

Excellent speakers!
These speakers are great! They are easy to install and have excellent range. I installed mine in my ceiling which was a little scary but it turned out to be easier than I thought. I highly recommend these speakers for anyone looking for a solid product for the money. | 1positive

piece of junk
seemed to be fine - in fact we liked it so much we bought another similar model as a gift.. but now almost 2 years later - it has begun failing bit by bit... first we couldn't change the alarm time - button wouldn't work - then it went off by itself on a saturday (weekends were off)... now a few months after that - 4-5 buttons have no effect.. nada - dont work...its a piece of junk... i have never had an alarm die so fast -- i still have alarm clocks from HIGH SCHOOL (so 20 plus years old.) that work fine. it isn't rocket science. i checked emerson radios website for warranty repair (to see if i could contact customer service) - there is no email for customer service, only a phone # - and a note stating to return to an address after getting return auth from customer service - and to include NINE dollars for repair (nice warranty) -- the clock itself was around 20.00 - so charging 1/2 of that to get it repaired (in warranty -- cause it doesn't differentiate between in and out of warranty customers) is pretty ridiculous.. especially since us postal flat rate for this item would be around 5.00... | 0negative

Does NOT work with Vista - Not Ready for Prime Time
Love the easy setup, design and looks. Too bad it does not work with Vista. No drivers, no reliable network connection, will not operate under Microsoft Backup that comes with Vista.Good looking piece of junk on my desk. I use it to put my coffee cup on. | 0negative

Broke within a week
Mine broke within a week of use. The screen went blank and I could not reset it through power cycling or the reset button. Now it is a useless piece of silicon. I was using a 1GB CF card with 800MB of jpeg photos.After reading the other reviews, I don't plan to hassle with returning it. I plan to never buy another Philips product and send them a letter. I'll take apart the unit and see what I can learn about it. | 0negative

Works great especially during recent Winter power outage
I had the opportunity to try out the lantern recently during a winter storm/high wind power outage. It retained the charge from storage and I did not have to wind it up for the 1 hour power was out. Lots of light and the radio works very well. Highly recommend. | 1positive

Too sensitive and overly complicated
I couldnt wait to get one of these things and once i did, it caused me severe emotional distress for a few reasons:1) installation/use is overly complicated. i couldnt get the cd to do anything with my computer (or iTunes). then i got some customer support from griffin and i found out that all i had to do was take the stations off the cd... there was nothing to install! why call it an install cd? once it gets going, syncing it up with a station is pretty awkward. it takes a few tries to get good at it.2) the unit itself is way too sensitive. i expected to get some static when i bought it, simply because it was going through the radio. when i actually tried it, i found out that it would completely switch stations all by itself if you touched it or if it moved while it was working. fortunately it would jump back to the correct station once it was let alone. this wouldnt be such a big deal, except it would do this every time i shifted (i drive a manual trans so that happens a lot). needless to say that gets ultra-super irritating/frustrating.3) functionality. the aesthetic value of the iTrip is pretty good. unfortunately you cant use a couple of key features of the ipod when using the iTrip. the hold switch on the ipod is very important while listening to music. you cant turn this on while using the iTrip... so if something brushes across the ipod, all kinds of hastles can occur. also, (in all fairness, griffin warns you about this one) you cant use a charger while iTrip is in use. this can be a bummer on an extended trip. my other funcionality complaint is specific to compatability with the matias ipod armor. the ipod armor is awesome and tremendously protective. too bad i cant use it with the iTrip.i gave the iTrip a 2 instead of a 1 simply becuase the griffin customer service was awesome. they emailed me back promptly and were very helpful on the phone. the company is good, but this product could have been made WAY better. | 0negative

Failing UPS
I purchased this item on April 24, 2012; it is now failing, and Amazon considers it hazardous material, so it appears I am out $110.00 with no recourse, this item is a complete disappointment, I have it connected to my Mac mini and monitor, every 8 hours are so it shutting down for no reason at all, bringing my entire system down with it, so instead of providing me with continuous power, what I have is guaranteed failure every 8 hours or so.It claims to have a 3 year warranty, but that is just print, how you send it back, and recover your money isa big question mark, since Amazon States and I quote"1 of CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD Intelligent LCD 1000VA 600W with AVR Mini Tower UPSSold by: Amazon.com LLCFor safety reasons, items that are classified as hazardous materials or use flammable liquids or gases cannot be returned to Amazon.com. Customers should dispose of hazardous materials according to Local, State and Federal regulations. Customers should contact their local government or local waste company for directions on how to dispose of Household Hazardous Waste." So I dont know how I am supposed to get my money back!This item is very, very, very disappointing, poorly built, no substitute for APC, or Trip-lite, save your money, go with proven name brand! | 0negative

AWESOME Printer!!!
I have owned and used this printer for about 2 weeks now and it is by far the best printer that I have ever owned/used!. It is quick and easy to set up, you're printing in no time at all. It has both the usb and parallell inputs. It uses the four ink bays - black, and the three seperate colors so that if you run low on one, you just have to replace that one and not all of them or even the print head (like HP makes you). The main reason I purchased this printer was the seperate ink bays that saves alot of $$$. I recommended this printer for EVERYONE. | 1positive

Tiny little Mushy Buttons.
I played with this remote for the better part of two days to get the programming right. I never did get it exactly the way I wanted. The OK/SEL button just would not work, apparently not software just a mechanical failure. I am returning the unit. I can live with time consuming programming and even incomplete programming and maybe I would even use a replacement unit if it worked.But, I could never get used to those tiny little mushy buttons placed so close together. I really can't imagine how a company like logitech that is known for keyboards could produce a product with such poor ergonomic design and no tactile feedback at all. You really can't tell if you've pushed a button or not because they are so mushy. I frequently pushed multiple buttons at once by mistake because they are all right against each other with no space between them. Pass this one up. | 0negative

In just three words...
"Perfection" is Perfect! Hooking up this scanner was the easiest install I've ever done, and it comes with a lot of software, has been trouble-free and gives great output at lightening speeds. This is probably the last scanner I'll ever buy. At 1200x2400 dots per inch (dpi) OPTICAL resolution, (not interpolated, or 'computer enhanced') which can be THEN be enhanced to as high as 9600 x 9600 dpi, it's almost a microscope! :) It features one-button scan operation, (under Win98) which can be configured to launch whichever scanner application you want to automatically open and receive the scan. Would be worth it at TWICE this price! A definate buy!It also has an optional transparency unit (which I shall buy soon), which is supposed to allow you to use the scanner with slides! I'll post info on that when I get it! In the meantime, buy it! | 1positive

Great all around
This was more than expected I am so happy with the quality and sound that it produces. It was very easy to set up and to operate I have played several movies, and have it hooked up to dish tv,with optical cable on the input of the theater and sound it great my dish reciever does have hdmi output and in the near future I will replace my dish reciever for upgrade so I can use the hdmi input on the theater. The only reason I rate this with 4 stars is the fact that my samsung tv has anynet and so does the ht-tx75 but it is supposed to work thru the hdmi cable as I do have hooked up to the output of the theater and to input of my hd samsung tv,so as when I view dvd the quality is great,but I havent been able to get the anynet to work but other than that which isnt that big of problem cause my universal remote operates every thing anyways, for the money you sure cant go wrong with this purchase. | 1positive

Thin, but not too good!
This camera take good pictures only in sunlight! Otherwise, without light, with artificial light it is so poor, so blur! I've got a create pc-cam 300 with 640x480 resolution and it's better better than cardcam.So, with almost sixty dollars I recomend you buy another one! Try philips key, it has low resolution but you can store almost 1600 photos!!!Good look!!! | 0negative

Incorrect Product Description!
1) While these will technically fit the thicker 40GB iPod, they were actually designed for the thinner 20GB - they will protect the 40GB device equally as well, however the openings for the scroll wheel and the screen will stretch out of shape. (This is not the seller's fault - the manufacturer's packaging claims that it will fit the 40GB)2) The claim "Comes with 3 iPod jackets, each with a lanyard" is factually incorrect. There is only 1 lanyard included for the 3 skins - this is clearly visible from the unopened package, so I lay the blame on the seller (who presumably wrote the copy for the Amazon page)They are a good value at the current price of $.99 - however they are not as described - thus my 2 star review. | 0negative

Great value and compact
For the price, this model of Sennheiser cannot be beat. They aren't in the same league with Bose but they aren't in the same price range either. I don't compare them to Bose; I compare them to the noise in the airplane cabin without them! The size is great too. They fold up very easily and take up a fraction of the size as full over-the-ear models. | 1positive

Not real HP
These are not real HP disks; my disk burner program says they're made by CMC Magnetics, which makes consumer grade media which I've found can't be trusted to hold your data for more than a few years. I've used a few HP disks and so far haven't had any problems; but in reading many of the reviews here I can see that many other people haven't been so lucky. My Memorex and Ritek disks are showing a high failure rate after 3-5 years also. This makes them useless for me unless I need to get the cheapest, most economical media, and for my important photos and data or whatever, I would prefer to spend a little more money and know my files are safe. The Verbatims, though, have been okay and also the TDKs.I would just go with Taiyo Yuden. If you look at the cdfreaks and other forums on the web where optical media is discussed, their name comes up again and again for great quality and reliability. The other possibility if you can find it is true Japanese made Verbatim. But the problem with Verbatim now is that they've licensed their technology to various offshore manufacturers who are making the disks under Verbatim's name, and many people feel their quality has slipped. One point in their favor, though, is that their metal-stabilized azo dye is said to be even more stable than Taiyo Yuden's super-cyanine dye, and is said to be more resistant to ultraviolet light. But unless you're in the habit of leaving your DVDs on the dashboard of your car (it's said that can kill your data in a week) this shouldn't be a problem, since most people are going to store their DVDs or CDs in a DVD case or CD wallet away from the sun.A couple of other possibilities for quality media are Mitsui's dual gold/silver disks, although they're quite expensive--over 2 bucks per disk. Also Mitsubishi and Kodak have teamed up to produce a dual gold/silver disk too, which they call the "century disk." This one has the extra advantage of being guaranteed to be from runs of less than 25,000. The problem is that disk media are pressed from a glass master which typically isn't replaced until 500,000 presses. After a few hundred thousand cycles, though, the disk isn't that accurate and this probably accounts for why people encounter occasional failed burns, since the makers mix disks together from different parts of the total run.Although expensive, I tried a pack of these recently and they performed very well. But the real test will be in 3-5 years when I check them again and see how well they're holding up. The best way to go is to use disks from at least two quality makers with different technologies and to store one copy off-site. It's unlikely that both would have the same problems. This is what I do and hopefully it will work out. Whichever way you decide to go, good luck with your backups and archiving! | 0negative

Display Failed
This product should never gone into production with such a poor display component. It took it a couple of days, but the display eventually failed on me, just like it did for other people that've reviewed this player.Aside from that, it's a pretty decent player for the money. Reads MP3's with all kinds of bit-rates and doesn't even complained about damaged files.The interface could be a little simpler though. For example, to skip to next album, you have to press the "mode" button twice, then the "stop" button.In the end, I redurned it and got a Philips EXP411 instead. Little more expansive, but definately worth it. | 0negative

Not reliable at all
I've owned this printer for 4 months now and it's broken down twice. The first time when the fuser broke down Xerox provided excellent service and talked me into purchasing the extended warrantee. Now the imaging unit is malfunctioning when it's only 1/2 used up, and it is impossible to get a new one anywhere, under warrantee or not, as they are backordered from the manufacturer until mid January. So I'm stuck with pink dots all up and down the side of every page I print until then. This is ridiculous with an expensive machine like this not to be able to obtain a basic consumable part for months. When it's working this printer does produce nice quality, but it's a pain because every time you want to change to a different paper type or size you have to push buttons on the panel on the printer as well as selecting your choices in the driver. Also the duplexer does not work out of Photoshop, which is what I do all my printing out of. If I had this to do over again I'd go with an HP instead - my old HP color laser which cost 1/4 of what this thing did is much more reliable. | 0negative

BSOD - not enough product info
The technical specifications are lacking the voltage of the memory and as such cause my computer to go to the blue screen of death because these chips are 2.3v while my others are 2.1v - Amazon please add the voltage to these memory chip specs.Since these are the wrong voltage for my computer I rated it at 2 stars. I wouldnt have purchassed these if the voltage had been written somewhere on the product page. I would have rated 5 star if the voltage was written down on here so I could have known if they were the correct ones or not. | 0negative

Some of u people are so stupid.
I reviewed this ipod nano black a while ago and i just want to say that the people that hate this because of the scratches just shouldn't buy it. It is made of the same material as the 30/60 gb ipod video black. It has nothing to do with the size. It is really hard to find a case for this right now but they will come in two weeks. A way of taking off scratches is using a bit of brasso. Brassol is a liquid that gets rid of scratches on plastic materials such as ipods. Works extremely well with the black version. It costs four dollars at any store such as home depot. Use a bit of it will cotton or iklear (anything u want that is soft) and keep ur hand on it for around twenty minutes. (...) Use it once because it could probably leave blemishes after around the fourth time. Just think of it as a second chance to keep ur ipod in store bought condition. After you've done this, keep the ipod safe until u get a case. The ipod nano is an amazing piece of technology and you shouldn't complain about the scratches when there is so many ways of getting rid of them (toothpaste even, doesnt get rid of all the scratches). Good luck and don't complain lol. | 1positive

Great deal
This case worked great for what I wanted it to do. I replaced the hard drive in my laptop and needed to transfer my old files to the new drive. I used the free trial version of Western Digital's Acronis software to migrate the files. I placed my old drive in this case and installed the new drive in the laptop. The transfer was flawless, with everything moved to the new, bigger drive with no problems. Now, I keep the old drive in the case and use it to back up my files from time to time.I suppose it could serve as a portable drive enclosure, too. But if I was going to use it for that, I would find a thin strip of rubber to pad the drive inside the case. That's because the drive is just a little loose when it's installed. It certainly works fine for replacing the hard drive in a laptop, or other occasional use, but I would question its durability if you were toting it back and forth to school or the office. The fit and finish is OK, especially for how inexpensive it is. And, while it's no work of art, it's definitely functional.The bottom line is, this case does exactly what it's supposed to. And it does it very inexpensively. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a light duty, occasional use hard drive case. | 1positive

Great Value
This is a great little router at a fantastic price. I have it on a home network with a Dell Inspiron laptop using a D-Link Air Plus card and a Lexmark X6170 all-in-one using a Lexmark wireless adapter. No problems. I never have the reboots people are complaining about, BUT I do NOT have 2.4gHz cordless phones in my home. The manual clearly says that anything running on 2.4gHz in the vicinity can cause interruption. For me, the router constantly connects (occasionally I have to press the Rescan button in the laptop's wireless card setup window, which takes 2 seconds) and provides great service. The encryption was very easy to set up. I live in a large apartment with steel beams in some of the walls and I still get a solid signal in every room. I have no reservations recommending this product. | 1positive

awesome picture for a resonable price.. buggy software
Just bought a brand new one off eBay for about 375 bucks. Lovin it. Im getting rid of my original Dell FP17in. INterestingly, I am running both on a dual monitor card and the differences in clarity owing to the contract ratio are amazing. (I am cheating a bit because the old on is running off analog and this one has the DVI interface.)I love the fact that it has a 4 port USB hub on the monitor, as that helps me from having to fumble behind the desktop.Excellent reproduction of bright and dark colors. Love the fact that it can be rotated, but havent really used the feature much.Cons:- Not really a fault of the monitor, but several applications cant really take advantage of the wide aspect ratio hence its a waste of white space at times.Never thought Dell could make a decent cheap monitor to compete with Samsung, but they did it again. | 1positive

Zippers go bad very soon
I think the advertisements sound great and it is surely a good pack. However, I wondered why in our town none of the professional photography shops offer this item. Talking to them I learned that the zippers of this backpack series go bad - depending on the amount of use - within a year or two. The manufacturer replaces the pack without any problems; however, do you really want to deal with this? In addition, while zippers are waterproof, they are hard to handle; some people ended up just ripping them out when attempting to open or close them. No recommendation to buy this item. Go and talk to your local dealer, especially if you are living in an area that is prone for harsh conditions, and ask them about what they think about the pack before buying it. | 0negative

Don't waste your money
I seldom write a review like this one, but trust me when I say this was a total waste. This is not only a waste of money it's a waste of plastic. The switches don't lock, you usualy tell when they are in the down position,and the pin sockets are so weak that they drop the connection. It wasn't worth the price of shipping or I would have sent it back instead of tossing it. | 0negative

Best overall
I've had the Sennheiser PX 100's 4 years now & think they're probably the best buy in headphones. I use them often while biking, and occasionally have given them some accidental rough use. So far they still sound great & have never had a problem. Folding them up and getting them into the case takes a little practice, but protects them very well.The only downside to them is that others can hear what you're listening to, so now I'm going to try the closed PX 200's. If they're close to as good as these I'll be very pleased. | 1positive

Did not last long.
I've used this enclosure with several Seagate and Western Digital SATA2 drives, and it use to work well, but within about a year, it started having trouble initiating the drives. I may try re-flowing the solder to see if a bad connection from wear and tear on the connectors is at fault.I don't believe this is limited to me, as a friend of mine bought the same enclosure slightly before me, and recommended it, only to have it die before mine. He reported similar behavior.I'm giving a dock a try this time, since my usage was more towards multiple drives than leaving one in there.The light on the front can be a bit much, but they were nice enough to make it optional. Just unplug the LED dongle and it's fine. | 0negative

I RETURNED IT!! ALL FEATURES DO NOT WORK!
I purchased this camera based on the salesman recommendation. He said that I can easily use this camera and view the images from a different computer.To start things off:I inserted the CD Rom into the drive and it didn't recognize my camera. I've even download the newest installaton program from D-Link's web site and my camera was still not recognized.Finally, after connecing the ethernet cable to the camera, it recognized the camera.There is a lot of technical configuring that you have to do with your router. Ironically, I had the same DLink Router that was pictured on the box and in the instructions. (The full instructions can be downloaded as a PDF file off the DLink web site.After about 2 hours of trying to run the installation program, I was able to get an image on my screen, but still never able to use the camera wirelessly. The picture quality was horrible. It looked like a black and white camera.I tried calling DLink tech support, and I was on hold for over a half hour when I just decided to hang up.I asked my friend to attempt to ping the IP address that you have to get from your router and she was not able to view my image.To summerize:1) Older installation software/drivers included2) Full manual must be downloaded from DLINK3) Poor picture quality4) No tech support5) Unable to view the image remotely.Save your money and if you really need a surveillance system, pay a professional! | 0negative

Humminbird Ice Transducer
I purchased this ice transducer to convert my Humminbird 777c to an ice machine. I already use a Marcum 3 flasher but wanted to have a 2nd unit available for multiple holes. I was amazed by the performance. It took awhile to find the settings which worked best for me, but once I figured out the best sensitivity and what frequency and screen view to use, I was hooked. The 777 has a flasher mode which emulates the Vexilar and Marcum flasher views, but I preferred the scrolling bottom view. I could easily see my 1/4oz jig moving up and down as I bounced it and the fish really showed up well. You can see them appear and change depths to follow the bait as it is raised and lowered. I may retire my Marcum flasher and only use this one. Now I can use my Humminbird 777 on both open water with my boat mount transducer and on the ice with this ice transducer. You will need an extra power cable as well if your boat mount is permanently attached. | 1positive

Bare bones, but functional
It's not pretty, and it has too many pieces parts (most of which I've managed to zip-tie together and avoid losing), but it works.The one area where I was disappointed was when I tried to use it to hook up an IDE CDROM. It does work, but the geometry of the connectors makes it impossible with the included cabling. The MOLEX power connection on a CDROM is right next to the IDE header, so it is blocked by the shoulder of the device. It did work after I jury-rigged the power.If you only need to work with SATA drives, consider a "dock" instead. They take advantage of the standardized position of the SATA connectors so you can just drop the drive in and go. | 1positive

0 Stars - PEICE OF JUNK
I agree with those who say that this DVD recorder is great, but I agree more so with those who say that it's a peice of junk. When it decides to work it is great. The problem is it doesn't work just as much or more so than it does.Sometimes it will recognize DVDs that IT recorded and Sometimes it wont.Sometimes it will show the correct time and sometimes it wont.Sometimes it will record according to the schedule and sometimes it wont.Then when you call customer service you are on hold forever and finally someone anwswers who seems to have less knowledge of how the recorder should work than you do.The last straw was I turned it on today and the screen said "HELLO" then it flashed the time "12:44" for 2 seconds then the screen began scrolling a series of dots and dashes. Maybe it's Morse code for "I'm Dead". But as soon as I find my receipt I will be shipping this piece of junk back to the manufacturer!!! | 0negative

Dissappointed - but still trying!
The product is fine, but the process to transfer LP's to MP3 format is not easy. I have spent several hours now, experimenting with the Cakewalk software and the turntable. I can record but still can't hear while I am recording, and I have tried everything I can think of and more to get audio with no success. But as I said, it does record and then you have to break up the album into songs, label them and save them as MP3 files. This takes some practice. At least once recorded you can hear from your computer speakers. But at the rate I am going it will take me months to record my album inventory. Paying for a service to do this is seeming lots more cost effective than all this time. I also challenge the reviewers who like Cakewalk and consider it intuitive, certainly hasn't appeared that way to me. There are some obvious improvements to usability that I would make. But, I bought it and I haven't given up, I am hoping that practice makes perfect and I'll get the hang of it and be more efficient int he process. We can only hope. | 0negative

Pleasing sound, but lousy DVD player!
I bought the Denon S-101 2.1 home theater system to get rid of all the wires my wife didn't like! I thought the system sounded better than the Bose 3-2-1 system and I got a good deal from Best Buy when I bought my 50" panasonic plasama tv.The S-101 had decent sound, not great, but good. The sub woofer had adjustments but was not earth shaking! After using the system for 13 months the dvd player failed to recognize the dvd's and cd's I was trying to play. I called customer service and they told me to send it to a shop in VA for repairs, and of course the warranty was up and I would have to pay for the shipping and repairs. I was told it could cost as much as to $400.00 to repair. Hell, I could buy a new system for less than that!I would definitly never buy another Denon home theater system again, or any system with the dvd player integrated in with the speaker system.If the dvd player fails, your screwed! | 0negative

If you do much printing you will find that this ink is very, very expensive. In the past I've always kept to the HP ink products. But I'll look for alternatives now that the price of this ink has gotten out of hand. | 0negative

Be careful who you order from!
I ordered from Mac_Pro_Online and did not get the USB cable. It wasn't even a genuine Apple. I returned it for a refund (still waiting) and ordered the real thing directly from Apple. The genuine Apple charger is an updated model, so I can't comment on this one. Just be careful if you don't order from Amazon because outside sellers think it's okay to sell something other than what's described just by putting a "comment" (which can't even be seen if you order from the featured seller). | 0negative

Good Cable
It's a simple RCA cable. Don't bend the connector and it'll be perfect. For kicks and giggles I compared it to a monster THX RCA cable. Ironically, that one had more noise. It's also a bit overpriced in my opinion, but comparing it to the monster cable it is cheap. If you need a long RCA cable, look no further. | 1positive
