Most Favorable Review

Looks great but buyer beware!

LumiSource TV-TS-136 Metro Series TV Stand 136
LumiSource TV-TS-136 Metro Series TV Stand 136

Pros: Like the looks. Competitive price.

Cons: Terrible instructions. Problem with a part, ANY part, you are expected to return the ENTIRE piece of furniture!

Overall Review: I am a pretty handy person but the instructions were not great by anyones definition. Part of my furinture piece was not even pictured! Luckily I had sorted out all the hardware and by process of elimination figured out where and how the last piece went, well, really the middle piece as it should have been installed in the middle of the process but since it was not pictured, who knew. If you have a damaged piece you have to box the ENTIRE kit of parts up and send it back to Newegg. Not Newegg's fault, they as always were great. Some of the hardware was so close in size I used calipers to discern them fromone another. Wheee. Once together it looks great and is solid. Pieces are 'beefy' and built to take what the specs say they will. Would have paid easily $300 more for similar piece around here. So, yes the hassle was worth it.

Most Critical Review

Passable, not outstanding

Northwest 72-CP388 Bluetooth Multimedia 2.1 Channel Speaker System
Northwest 72-CP388 Bluetooth Multimedia 2.1 Channel Speaker System

Pros: Easy to establish Bluetooth paring and maintains the link well Lightweight for ease of transport Extra cable for hardwire input included

Cons: Speaker cables were joined, had to peel them apart to get the speakers more than @ 3" apart, yes 3 inches! Sound is acceptable but by no means great Consider the subwoofer for little more than looks and a place to hold the electronics, it is pretty weak

Overall Review: Bought for use in the shop, working in the garage, etc to replace a wired set of speakers. The other speakers were generic cheap amplified computer speakers. This unit does not sound much different than those.

Like it better than some...

Aluratek ALB10C 75 W Equivalent 75W Equivalent Cool White A19 LED Light Bulb
Aluratek ALB10C 75 W Equivalent 75W Equivalent Cool White A19 LED Light Bulb

Pros: Efficient. Directional brightness. Watch for sale price....

Cons: Directional brightness.

Overall Review: Match a 'typical' 75 watt lamp, to the sides no, from the end of the lamp, I would say yes. Tried this in a fixture that holds the lamp parallel to where the light is needed. Blech. Pretty dim. Used in another fixture that shines the light straight down and the light where we need it compared to a standard lamp was greater. In other words,almost like a spot light yet more diffuse. Reading under the lamp was no problem. Would buy again, IF they are on sale again. Regular price is a bit too high.

Has promise, poor follow through?

Western Digital WD Green WD10EARS 1TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Quiet, runs cool, and sips power. Only took @ 10 minutes not counting hold time to get the RMA process started.

Cons: Mine was non-functional upon arrival. WD diagnostics report 0108 Seek not complete. Box it arrived in was well padded and in good shape. Questionable QA on WD's part before drive left the factory?

Overall Review: Ill give it 2 stars because of the promise the drive holds for the cost. Too bad I could not give it 5.
