solid
Pros: Very easy to install. A vast array of mounting screws for various sized VESA configurations (but see cons). Having only three mounting scres, I was concerned how secure the tv would be on the wall, but once mounted, my 46" LED TV feels very secure on the wall. The bracket is very solid. Nice cable management on the bracket too. Moving the articulating arm provides plenty of room to get access to the back of the tv panel. Provides the perfect set-up for tv installation in the corner of a room, or where your viewing area is not directly acorss the room from the tv, like mine.
Cons: Although there are a lrge number of different sized machine screws provided to mount a tv to the bracket, I still had to head to the hardware store to get the correct size bolts for my tv. There were two sets of screws provided at the correct diameter for my tv, but the lengths were either two short (16 mm) or too long (45mm). There were bushings provided, but my tv came with custom fitted bushing, so I used the tv manufacturers instead. Considering that they did give two different lengths, and several other sizes, I can't penalize the manufacturer for not having screws that provided the perfect fit for my tv.
Overall Review: The toughest part of the installation was trying to figure out how high to mount the televion. What worked best, was to use post-it notes to mark the dimensions of the tv on the wall and then judge the hight while sitting on the couch (read that somewhere on the net). Just remember, the center of the tv would be offest a couple inches (L to R) from where the bracket will sit. After you figured out the height, mark the studs and then level/align the handy adhesive mounting template provided. Drill pilot holes. Attach mounting plate with the heavy duty bolts provided. For cable routing, make sure you have long enough cables to route through everything. I needed a little more than 3' coming out of the wall to reach my input jacks. But it's worth it beacuse routing the cables through the brackets on the arms ensures you'll have full motion.
in the trash
Pros: sounded good for a little while
Cons: Stopped working, couldn't figure out where they went bad. Thought it was my phone jack at first, but all other headphones work with my phone. Didn't work with my daughters ipod either. Such a simple item shouldn't fail this easily...
perfect
Pros: Replaced lost lens cap for my Nikon P7700. Permanently attaches, so won't lose this one...
Cons: took a while to get here, direct shipped from China, so it was held up in customs for a bit.
Overall Review: Worth the wait to get this. Had to unscrew the outer ring from camera lens and replaced with this. Initially worried that the cover would interfere with lens and would be visible at wide angles, but this was not the case. Works perfectly. Highly recommend, should come standard with this camera.
More than a year and still going strong
Pros: Built a pc with this as my primary drive in the spring 2012. Still going strong, very fast boot times, no issues what so ever. This was my first SSD and I have no regrets.
Cons: none
Great Waffle Maker
Pros: Makes the best waffles. Being able to make two waffles at a time is essential. This was a great purchase that the whole family loves.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I've tried lots of different recipes for this waffle maker and our families favorite is the overnight, yeasted waffle recipe included in the instruction booklet that came with the waffle maker. Takes a little planning to get the batter started the night before, but oh my, are they worth it! Crispy on the outside and so light ad airy in the middle...mmm, think I'll have waffles tomorrow for breakfast.
Working Well as HD DVR Expanded Drive
Pros: HD DVR recognized and formatted the drive with out any issues. Working well so far, Went from 90% occupied DVR to around 20%.
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: I paired this with the "Orico 7618SUS3-BK Tool-Free USB 3.0 & E-SATA Interface Aluminum 3.5" SATA HDD Enclosure (Black)". Working great connected by eSATA to my HD DVR. No issues so far. Getting this drive with an external enclosure worked perfectly to add storage space to my DVR.
Different Seller, but Item was in stock at Newegg?
I ordered an external encolusre from Orico, through Newegg. At least there were two seperate transactionson my credit card. But, both items I ordered came in the same box from Newegg. Not sure how they work this, but I'm happy with my purchase and it was as if I purchased the item from Newegg anyways...
