Sony ICD-P520 Digital Voice Recorder with 256 MB Built-in Flash Memory and USB

This recorder does a pretty good job. When it actual records, that is. It eats batteries like there's no tomorrow because it never actually turns itself off from what I can tell. You can put it on hold, but it's never really off until you take the batteries out. So if you want to buy this, be sure to carry extra AAA batteries with you just incase. Although you should probably warned further that I read more..

Belkin TuneBase FM Transmitter for iPod nano 1G, 2G (Black)

the transmitter didn't work as advertised, perhaps because the FM stations are pretty full in my area, but nonetheless, it didn't work for me. read more..

ButtKicker BK-LINK RF Wireless System

I bought this to eliminate a 35' subwoofer cable run that was generating some RF noise ("hum"). Unfortunately, while the BK-LINK setup eliminated the hum, it introduced a weird "thump": every few seconds, not on a regular schedule, the subwoofer would emit a low "thump", as if the RF receiver attached to it had received a channel change request or something. It was incredibly annoying since (a) read more..

Magnavox Dvd Player

I got this as a Christmas gift from some friends after my last DVD player gave up it's ghost. It's now July...about 7 months later...and this player is dead already. It was fine up until a week ago, where you had to open/close the DVD tray several times to make it read a DVD. Now it won't recognize any disc at all. Sure, it's cheap...but only lasting half a year is still too short for any kind read more..

Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds (Black)

Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds (Black)

I rate these an F for function and design and an A for sound quality. The buds are difficult inserting into the ear canal, the left earbud cord is about 15 inches shorter than the right which makes it easy for the left bud to exit the ear frequently and the rubber bud covers falls off the actual bud frequently. All of these are horrible design flaws. read more..

Canon PIXMA iP6700D Photo Printer (1441B002)

This printer is a complete ink hog. While I am not a fan of spending so much money on ink, my major complaint about this aspect, is that for such a thirsty printer, it uses extremely small ink cartridges. This means having to change them entirely too often, and doing your best to keep spares around.

The other annoyance is the paper handling. It regularly says that there is no paper read more..

Denon DVD-1940CI Universal Scaling DVD/ DVDA/ SACD Player w/ DCDi by Faroudja

This is one of the first 1080p upconversion dvd players. Nowadays for the price you can get a better one for 1/3 of the price. read more..

XFX PVT88PYDF4 GeForce 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Ready Video Card (

I'm having the same experience others have mentioned here: the fan runs much too loudly, and all the time. It's loud enough to be distracting during the games I bought the card for.

I will contact XFX support, but unless they can easily resolve this issue, I can't recommend the card. There are other 8800GT cards available; you'll pay more, but it might be worth it. read more..

Cable, VGA Y, HD15 Male To HD15 Female

If your looking to use this to have duel monitor use, make sure you have the right VGA card. The product is good to go if your using it to share the same screen with a projector. read more..

Harman Kardon Soundsticks II 3-Piece Plug and Play Multimedia Speaker System

The sound was pretty good, if not a bit too much bass..but the lack of a volume control knob turned out to be a bigger hassle than I even imagined it would be. I'm very proactive with my sounds as my MP3's are all over the place volume wise. To not be able to tell whether my actions would yield a louder/lower sound was the deal breaker. Not only that but you have to contort your fingers/wrist to u read more..

3M Privacy Filter PF14.1W Notebook/ LCD Privacy Filter for Widescreen Notebooks

This item was purchased and just sits in a cabinet now. I do not like how it makes the words appear smaller and it is not good for road trips. I was told, it would minimize the suns glare when outdoors but it does not do that at all. However, if you are looking for this product to only filter privacy and nothing more, then it may be okay for you...just not for me! But then again, everyone ALW read more..

100 Thick 3mil Polyethylene Plastic Record Outer Sleeves for 12" Vinyl Record Al

I thought these sleeves were going to be similar to the ones my local record store uses for their merchandise. Boy was I wrong. First off, I thought that the 12 3/4" end was the end with the opening. It's not. So when your albums are sitting on a shelf, there's a huge empty space at the top of the cover. Also, if these are the 3 mil ones, I'd hate to see how thin the 2 mil ones are. My record s read more..

Sharp YOP20H 1MB Electronic Organizer

This is a good organizer for someone who is in middle or high school. Or maybe even for someone who loses things easily so does not want to spend a lot of money on an actual palm. Its okay for what it is but it did not fit my needs. I ended up having to buy an actual palm and I gave this organizer to my little sister to play with. read more..

Uniden CEZAI998 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Digital Answering Sy

I bought this product for my parents who live in another country (Romania) after much research and it seemed to fit all my needes; I receieved it very fast and when I saw it I was very happy: indeed, it was what I needed. However, after installing it back there it with much fanfare, many features didn't work. It didn't hold the date (after setting the date, it was turning back to flashing) and the read more..

Iomega MiniMax Hard Drive, FireWire 400/ USB 2.0, 500GB - 33746

It's got space and lots of ports but I can hear it in my bedroom from my office two doors away. It's just way too loud. read more..

Coby CX-CD114RED Personal CD Player

Outside of the tiny buttons that don't work very well, the tiny display that's really difficult to see except in the best light and the fact that it skips with every little bump, I guess it's good.

Spend a couple of dollars more for a player that has an anti-skip memory. read more..

Intel SS4000-E Entry Storage System Intelligent Network Storage System

I purchased the LaCie implementation of this Intel small-office storage array early last year. The design specs for this Network Attached Storage array are impressive -- a four-drive storage array that can be configured as RAID 0, 1, or 5. Unfortunately, the system proved to be buggy from the outset. Despite many email exchanges with tech support, none of our users were ever able to see the arr read more..

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950 Hybrid TV Stick

The thing worked fine for me, although the quality was much less than i expected. It was okay if you are simply watching TV on your laptop in a small window, but I actually recorded the video to my hard-drive and burned them to a DVD, and although it played in the DVD player, the quality was terrible. This is an okay item if you only plan to watch TV on your computer.

Mio C520 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

After using the Mio C520 for over 3 months now I truly regret I bought it. the device performs poorly in route calculation choosing the most bizarre routes you would ever imagine.
Fortunately also owned a Garmin 200W and the TomTom One. both outperform the Mio in suggesting much faster and more logical routes. THIS IS THE MOST BASIC FUNCTION OF A GPS DEVICE!
The bluetooth speakerphone read more..

D-Link WIRELESS MUSIC PLAYER 2.5 ( DSM-120 )

The Unit I received probably works as designed, though not desired, which prompted the question: who needs the DSM 120?

First impression: it looks unnecessarily bulky. The menu and buttons are intuitive enough that I set up most of the stuff without even reading a manual. The wireless WEP works well. Sound quality is decent for me.

There are two major features: a file read more..

SanDisk Sansa Shaker 1 GB MP3 Player (Blue)

Even though the technical details on this page specify the term "USB 2.0", this is a USB 1.1 device (which is a lot slower for transfers). This might be a good gift for kids, but given the price it is better to look for other cheaper options... read more..

Harman Kardon GPS-510 4-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator and Media Player

This is my first gps system. Though I like the features on it it is slow to give direction and in one case was telling me to go left onto a north bound highway when it was clearly marked on the signs to go right for south(the direction I wanted). For the hell of it I got on the north bound thinking maybe there was something I didn't know. No it told me to get back off! Maybe it likes making peopl read more..

Linksys Media Center Extender

I bought this product with the WRT600N dual-band gigabit router with storage link (the gigabit router had its own issues - I will write another review for it). The media center extender locked up consistently or would lose its connection to the network (using 2.4 Ghz band on the WRT600N as the WRT600N didn't seem to be able to handle both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz devices operating simultaneously). This m read more..

Zen was nice to have. I computer troubles had arose not, may've gotten more use from. But alas, no. Was effective on keeping my schedule, pictures, music; hmm, come to think of it, I miss my Zen. read more..

Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini 160 GB 2.5" USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive

If you purchased this drive and software (as I did) to restore after system crashes you may be in for a rude surprise - the included Safetydrill software does not (as claimed) delete older versions of backups as required to make space for newer ones, instead it MOVES them to an (undocumented) history folder on the same drive and new backups fail for lack of space... with the failure producing only read more..

Lexmark X8350 All-in-One Printer Plus Photo

I purchased this printer from Walmart. I didn't like the print quality eventhough it has many options. I had a HP Officejet 5500 series printer before which was simple userfriendly and the print quality was far better than this. This printer is noisy too read more..

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum

As far as audio quality goes, the card sounds great, but the design is terrible. Initially, I really liked the idea of the front breaker box and being able to use the remote control with it. That is pretty much why I bought it. Now I've realized it's basically useless. There is no reason to have audio outputs on the breaker box. You only need a headphone output and that's it. Inputs should be o read more..

Zen V Plus 8GB Black/ red Carry Music Video Clips & Photos Eng/ fr

I have had both an 4GB and 8GB Creative Zen V Plus, and the first died in about 5 months, the second in about 10. I'm going to try a different brand and see if it lasts longer. read more..

Cisco Syst. Dual Ethernet Security Wireless Router ( CISCO851W-G-A-K9 )

I feel slightly bad having to torch what, featurewise, is a fantastic entry level small business router and that could work well for a IOS expert or business with an available IOS network consultant, but unfortunately what Cisco's packaged here is a subset of their higher end machines, only without being able to simplify the management of the machine.

I purchased this router because I read more..

Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo 1 TB 3.5" USB 2.0/ FireWire 400/ FireWire 800 External

I bought a Maxtor product assuming that it would function like the
100GB and 200GB products that I had purchased previously -- walk up
to a PC, turn on the Maxtor, connect the USB cables, and it's done.

Unfortunately, since this terabyte drive came pre-formatted for a Mac,
I had to install their software, re-format the Maxtor, and then
it became a "one-touch" p read more..
