Most Bang for the Buck

SOLEUS AIR LX-100HP 4-in-1 10,000 BTU Capacity Portable Air Conditioner/Heater/Dehumidifier/Fan with Remote Control
SOLEUS AIR LX-100HP 4-in-1 10,000 BTU Capacity Portable Air Conditioner/Heater/Dehumidifier/Fan with Remote Control

Pros: Unit works. It heats, cools and the best part is it has intake and exhaust. That way you can hook up both hoses to the outside or you can leave the intake open in the room to exhaust smoke, dust, etc out of the room. I am using the unit in an upstairs office that either freezes in the winter or gets up to 100 degrees in the summer. This unit will do just fine.

Cons: The Auto Temp control doesn't work. The intake and exhaust run all the time but the temperature and humidity isn't regulated. I called tech support and they said the unit has to have at least 10 inches clearance all the way around. I use the unit in an up stairs 8 foot by 12 foot office and there is no way I can get 10 inch clearance. Best I can do is 7 or 8 inches. Either way the unit was purchased to heat and cool the room the room and I'll just run it manually.

Overall Review: Best bang for the Buck. This was the least expensive, least negative review product with more functionality than higher cost units.

Most Critical Review

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Quiet, fast

Cons: Failed after 6 months with bad sectors

Overall Review: Started getting bad sectors after 6 months. Went to Samsung website and received an RMA to replace defective drive. Process was easy. I own 3 of these drives. One when bad so thats a 33% failure rate as far as I'm concerned. I wonder if Samsung actually does a real quality control burn in for these drives.

Fast Shipment!

COBY DTV-102 ATSC Standard-Definition TV Converter Box
COBY DTV-102 ATSC Standard-Definition TV Converter Box

Pros: Picks up all the stations in my area with no problems. Easy to use.

Cons: Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 eggs is you have to be within 8 or 10 feet to use the remote control.

Overall Review: Beats getting ripped off by the over priced bundled packages offered by Comcast.

Works Like A Charm!

RCA ANT111 Indoor Passive Antenna

Pros: It's just plug and play. If there is a broadcast in your area it will pick it up.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I researched this inexpensive unit and found it does just as good a job as the more expensive brands so I decided to order it. It took me 5 minutes to plug it in and it's all the reviewers said it was. A great Antenna at a low price.

Less Expensive and Just as Good

netTALK DUO VOIP Telephone free USA and Canada Calling
netTALK DUO VOIP Telephone free USA and Canada Calling

Pros: Low Price, Clarity is great and it works perfect with no lag in dialing etc....

Cons: Non so far

Overall Review: I had Vonage for years and didn't realize Vonage had a usage limit of 3,000 minutes per month. That is the same limit of 3,000 minutes for NetTalk. I was paying $35 a month for that Vonage. Then I switched to Century Link because it was less expensive with a bundled internet package but the line quality of Century Link was really bad. I had techs come out and check the phone lines twice. Finally I decided to take a chance on NetTalk. I installed it in about 5 or 10 minutes. Worked perfect the first time and clarity of voice is better better than Vonage and Light Years better than Century Link. Last.... I called Century link to drop my phone line... They tried to give me some good pricing but I said no. Then they said "Well, we want you to keep your DSL line so instead of charging you $50 per month we are only going to charge you $24.95 per month! They gave me an offer I couldn't refuse!
