Awesome

Rosewill RTMT-11001 10:1 DS Infrared Thermometer
Rosewill RTMT-11001 10:1 DS Infrared Thermometer

Pros: Easy to use, clear readout, laser makes it simple to get specific readings. Inexpensive. Laser sight makes it a fun learning device for the kids.

Cons: Kids want to constantly use it and I'm sure that will wear out the batteries much sooner than they should. Not terrible accurate on certain things but darn close.

Overall Review: Bought this to check the temps around the house as the weather gets colder (looking for areas to weather proof) and also to watch the temps of our RC cars when we're racing. It works great for both uses!

Most Critical Review

DO NOT BUY

Sunforce 52013 1.8 Watt Solar Battery Maintainer Twin Pack
Sunforce 52013 1.8 Watt Solar Battery Maintainer Twin Pack

Pros: Good idea, sale at Newegg, Newegg and shipping went smoothly.

Cons: Bought these for a truck that I don't use very often and I wanted to make sure that it would start up whenever necessary. Terrible product. The panels warp severely, the windshield suction cups are laughable, and one of the panels actually DRAINED the battery in both of my vehicles. After about a months use, I finally stopped using them and had to put the regular battery charger on my vehicles to make sure they were both fully charged.

Overall Review: If you want to waste money, just light it on fire. I can't give zero eggs or I would!

Junk

Rosewill RVCS-11001 Full Vacuum Sealer with Double blade bi-direction manual cutter
Rosewill RVCS-11001 Full Vacuum Sealer with Double blade bi-direction manual cutter

Pros: None - even price isn't a pro when it doesn't work at all. It won't let me give zero eggs.

Cons: DOES NOT WORK. Directions are useless. Found a human eyelash in my brand new (?) sealer. Corner of brand new (?) sealer was scuffed.

Overall Review: I bought this because I've bought other Rosewill products over the years and they seemed to work great. I replacement part to fix my Food Saver brand sealer cost more than buying this one on sale, so I took a chance. If you have your OWN bags (...) the heating element can seal them, but the suction doesn't work. I didn't even bother with the built in blade because it feels so flimsy I don't want to break it. Newegg should take this down and offer a refund to anyone that purchased it. I'd even be happy with credit so I can buy a worth while saver.

Great especially on sale.

Rosewill Electric 4.0 Liter Water Boiler and Warmer Dispenser R-HAP-01
Rosewill Electric 4.0 Liter Water Boiler and Warmer Dispenser R-HAP-01

Pros: REALLY useful to have hot water ready at a moments notice. Much easier to make a lot of food and drinks without having to microwave water that can end up "flash boiling" when you pour it.

Cons: Water dispenses slowly every so often. If you notice that its not coming out very fast, you just have to let go of the button and press it again. Sometimes takes two or three presses to get it to start pumping correctly, which can be irritating, so 4 of 5 stars.

Overall Review: I tend to use the "reboil" button a minute before I need to get water out when I first wake up in the morning. That way I know that the water is good and hot before I use it. We had a whole shelf on our pantry of stuff we never use because its a pain to get the water heated up - Ramen, hot chocolate, oatmeal, etc. I'm the only one that drinks coffe in my house and I was able to switch to instant over a small brew pot - no filters, no carafe cleaning, don't have to wait for it to finish brewing, awesome.

TERRIBLE PRODUCT

Test 033
Test 033

Pros: Color, size, aerodynamics, taste

Cons: I bought 12 of these and after a few weeks they went bad! I'd RMA them, but the chickens claim that they're outside of warranty. What a ridiculous exchange policy!

Overall Review: Newegg was great. Fast shipping (although two were broken), great price for the size/color.

Great Drive

Seagate BarraCuda LP ST32000542AS 2TB 5900 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Inexpensive, large drive, very little extra work needed to install - compared to the 3TB drives.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: This is the third one I've added to my WHS (the other two have been running for over a year). Zero problems and it runs 24/7. I think it's about time to add one more while they're on sale!
