Not Too Shabby
Pros: * Fast, Dependable Wireless Adapter * Solid Construction * A Less-Expensive TP-Link Archer T9E Clone
Cons: * Rosewill drivers would only recognize n protocol @5Ghz frequency in Windows 10 * Used a TP-Link Archer T9E driver as a work-around
Overall Review: For the most part, I'm pleased with the Rosewill RNX-AC 1900PCE Dual Band Wireless AC 1900 Wi-Fi Adapter. Connecting to my Netgear Dual Band 1750 Wireless Router was a relatively smooth process using the Rosewill drivers that came on a CD disk included with the wireless adapter. Signal strength is strong - with continual display of 5 bars @ 30 feet away and through a bedroom wall. My only caveat (thus the 4-egg rating instead of 5) is that once the Rosewill drivers were installed (under Windows 10), the "properties" of the adapter showed that the ac protocol @ 5 Ghz was not connecting. The Wi-Fi adapter would only connect using the n protocol. The Rosewill adapter-management software also failed to load, so it was useless. Therefore, I went to Rosewill's website and downloaded and installed fresh drivers, yet the problem remained. I ended up going to the TP-Link website and downloaded the drivers for the TP-Link Archer T9E Wireless Adapter, and decided to give those drivers a shot. After I downloaded the TP-Link drivers, I uninstalled the Rosewill drivers, and then I installed the TP-link drivers. Once the new drivers were installed, to my pleasant surprise, the Rosewill adapter connected using the ac protocol. After running a few speed tests to monitor the adapter's performance, I'm happy as a clam. Note: If you get the Rosewill wireless adapter, I recommend you go to the TP-Link and download and use the Archer T9E drivers. They are newer than Rosewill's drivers, and in my case, work much better. I would definitely recommend the Rosewill wireless Wi-Fi adpater. Just understand that you MAY have to tinker with drivers to get the adapter to perform at its peak.
Nice...while it lasted
Pros: ► Small Footprint ► Excellent Price Point ► Relatively Easy to Set Up ► Up to Task...when Working ► TrendNet Technical Support
Cons: ►Runs Hot ►Unreliable Life ►Short Return Window ►Died in Less than One Month
Overall Review: I was initially leary about purchasing this router since several reviews made claims of similar units running hot and/or of premature failure, Anyway, when NewEgg put the router on sale at a ridiculously-low price, I decided to take a chance and give it a go. I had big hopes for this tiny router when purchased. The unit worked great right out of the box, and set up was a breeze. The unit functioned in an apartment with four different Internet users, with four individual computers, and with a shared wireless printer. Connectivity and download speeds were never an issue. Everyone was pleased and surprised how well the tiny router performed. Unfortunately, my unit suffered the same fate as the other units that were reported as running hot and dying young. In less than 30 days, the router was toast. The reason for awarding two eggs instead of one was TRENDnet's technical support. They were superb. They had me run a few checks and tests, and they worked with me on the determining that the router had indeed given up the ghost. They stood behind their product and directed me to NewEgg for a replacement or refund. As usual, NewEgg was prompt to offer me either a replacement or a refund. I opted for a refund and decided to purchase another router by a different manufacturer...through NewEgg of course. I cannot recommend this router, but I can recommend TRENDnet and NewEgg. They both provided hassle-free customer service.
Solid Printer Stand
Pros: * The stand took all of five minutes to assemble * Sturdy * Attractive * Perfect for my large-footprint Cannon laser printer
Cons: * Some of the excess plastic on the molded edges had been roughly removed and left minor gouges (docked one egg).
Overall Review: My Cannon 8280Cw laser printer weighs 64 lbs., so I decided to invest in a decent printer stand, and I'm glad I chose this Safco model. I'm happy with this purchase. As for delivery, Newegg did a fantastic job. I ordered the stand late Wednesday evening, and it was delivered to my front door Friday morning. Great turnaround time!
Dirty and Substandard
Pros: * Fits the Brother DR-360 drum * Prints text * Cheap replacement
Cons: * Leaves "dusty" artifact on each copy * Solids are muddy and uneven * Messy - Toner cast all over product
Overall Review: I have bought many OEM TN-360 toner cartridges in the past for my Brother HL-2170W laser printer, and they've always been solid products that arrived clean and functioned properly. Recently, Newegg had an excellent sale price on their compatible Rosewill TN-360 toner cartridges, so I decided to give them a try. Big mistake. Right out of the box, the Rosewill TN-360 cartridge was covered in a heavy cast of black toner. There was no cartridge leak, so the cartridge was probably packed that way. I cleaned it off, placed it into the drum, and then into the printer. That went fine. The real test is with the finished product produced by the printer. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the quality of the print. It was sub-standard and did not meet my expectations. I printed about 25 copies to see if the dirty cast on the printed pages would resolve, but it never did. I suppose the output is adequate if you're okay with draft-quality copy, but if you want a CLEAN, quality finished product, stick with the OEM TN-360s. The Rosewill TN-360 toner cartridges fall short. They're comparatively inexpensive, but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.
Too Small to be Useful
Pros: They function.
Cons: More suitable for a doll house than a real application.
Overall Review: If you're looking for truly functional a press-on, press-off type of battery-operated lighting, look elsewhere. These will disappoint.
Great Price!
Pros: Great feature set for such a compact size and low price.
Cons: The zoom mechanism is VERY fragile and wears out or is damaged easily. After doing some research, I learned that this a common problem with this particular model. The fragile zoom mechanism is the achilles heel to an otherwise outstanding camera.
Overall Review: I had been debating whether or not to repair or replace a pink Stylus 7030 that I purchased for my teenage daughter a couple of years ago. She absolutely loves this camera. However, just out of warranty, the camera's zoom mechanism failed, and Olympus wanted to charge a premium for repair. Newegg's Shell Shocker price for a replacement was just too good to pass. It was just a few dollars more than the cost of repair, so buying the new blue model was a no-brainer. My daughter is thrilled and so happy to have a Stylus 7030 back in her hands. She's cool with the blue color as well. Recommendation: This is one item where you might just want to spring the extra $10 for an extended warranty.
