Very Good So Far
Pros: Fast, gets reading while cuff is inflating. Android app works well with this device. Large readout.
Cons: Vitagoods shipping is really bad (slow, wrong tracking number, etc). Instruction book incomplete. Doesn't explain irregular heat beat, shacking, etc. Support hasn't answered request for this information so assume you're on your own for any future problems.
Overall Review: Be careful on removing clear screen protector as too fast can disrupt screen (temporarily)
Very slow for an USB 3.0
Pros: Had a 10.00 off that worked on this 10.99 item.
Cons: Still extends out a little for its tiny size. Tried to change it from Fat32 to NTFS and it became unusable, couldn't delete create partition, format, etc. Had to use Macrium Reflect (other disk utilities may work) to partition and format it. Not going to try that again.
Overall Review: OK for the .99 cents I paid for it but wouldn't be happy with it at any other cost. Too slow to backup anything of size.
Excellent Product
Pros: Easy setup. Great signal boost even when somewhat distant from router.
Cons: Couldn't get it to connect to a Time Warner Arris router but worked on my Asus. Has dropped signal several times but recovers almost immediately.
Overall Review: Caught it on sale and had a $10.00 credit so was almost free. Will probably buy another when it goes on sale again.
Good machine
Pros: Windows 8. Wireless keyboard and mouse instead of the advertised USB. Fast 6GB SATA hard drive. Has miniPCI for a wireless card.
Cons: Could use 4 GB more memory. Microsoft makes updating from the WIndows 8 to 8.1 and 8.1 update so slow (hours) but worth it at end.
Overall Review: To Joe G. and others. The keyboard will not work initially to stop it on BIOS etc, but let it go to Windows and settle down. On the bottom of the keyboard is a connect button. If you can, observe the blue light of the unified transmitter (dongle) and press this connect button and hold it till you see the blue light on the dongle blink. It will be connect. I had thought mine didn't work also.
Different Problem This Time
Pros: Works well when it works.
Cons: Doesn't last through any warranty. Lack of reparable heating element. Not worth shipping back for warranty.
Overall Review: My last new in box was in use for only about 4 months (bought earlier). All others had element go out but this time the thermostat welded together (took it apart afterwards) which kept heat on until food burned. Lucky that someone was around or could have been a fire. Based on 3 units that either element goes out and this time a shorted thermostat I would stay away from this. I thought the cheap price made it worth it but not anymore.
Lots of sound
Pros: A lot of sound from such a small package. A little tinny on highs only certain genre. . Very cute dialog and connection prompts.
Cons: Separate volume buttons would have been nice. You have to press and hold previous/next buttons 2 seconds and doesn't always respond correctly
Overall Review: Worth the price.
It is what it is
Clear plastic as it advertises.
Slow shipping and incorrect tracking
No status for days. Then provided an incorrect tracking number then item sat with not status once more. Wouldn't buy a thing from these folks again.
Smooth transaction
Didn't know item was to come from China but transaction was smooth, seller provided tracking number, and item received in good condition.
