Jensen JTA-460 Turntable

Jensen JTA-460 3-Speed Stereo Turntable with AM/FM Stereo Radio
Jensen JTA-460 3-Speed Stereo Turntable with AM/FM Stereo Radio

Pros: Great for encoding albums (with minimal attention) OK for encoding 45's (needs more attention as expected) Stand alone device

Cons: Not appropriate as a substitute for a traditional turntable Does not have an automatic stop and retract feature at the end of records. It has auto-stop but not retract for albums only. Micro-selector switches on the front panel don't feel "robust"

Overall Review: I've had this encoder for about a month and have gotten good use out of it. While it requires no PC, I don't use the SD card/flash drive features because I like to break my albums into individual songs. I record directly into Nero's Wave Editor, and the break up the songs that way. Using the Jensen 460 to separate the individual songs would be very time consuming, with many manual starts and stops. I've used this product a lot, and it has performed well. It performs as advertised, and has a reasonable price.

Pros: None

Cons: Slow, slow, slow. Never worked right. I'm going back to my 120 GB Sandisk. This is a bad drive. Not worth returning.

Muzili 115U Activity Tracker Waterproof Sport Bracelet Touchscreen Fitness band withStep Counter/Calorie Counter/Sleep Monitor Tracker/Call Notification for Kids Women and Men

Pros: Excellent fitness tracker for a couple of young ladies. Not too complex, and encourages them to get up and move. Comes with an extra band, as well. Had some shipping issues, but Muzelli was excellent to deal with. I would recommend both the watch and the company. Five stars for both.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great watch for younger girls.

Corsair CX450 Power Supply

CORSAIR CX Series CX450 450W ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply, CP-9020120-NA
CORSAIR CX Series CX450 450W ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply, CP-9020120-NA

Pros: So far, so good. The power supply is working well. It's been about two weeks. Cables are long enough to reach the connectors on the MB. Quieter than my previous CX430. Shipping was fast, and the unit was well packaged.

Cons: No cons that I can think of.

Overall Review: Working well, for now. I would recommend this power supply. I got good service from my previous Corsair power supply.

675 VA APC Battery Bacup UPS

APC BE670M1 675VA 360 Watts 7 Outlets Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with USB Charging Port (Stepup of BE600M1)
APC BE670M1 675VA 360 Watts 7 Outlets Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with USB Charging Port (Stepup of BE600M1)

Pros: I bought two, and both have charged up. I haven't really needed them through a power outage yet, so I don't know how well the battery will hold up, but I have several smaller units that work fine. I am expecting the same performance from these.

Cons: I have smaller units that had dates on the batteries when I received them. On these 675 VA units, I couldn't find a date, so I don't know how old the batteries might be. Could be that I just didn't look hard enough.

Overall Review: I really like these units just to ride through short power outages. I use them just for lights and radio operation, not to protect my computer. These work fine for that , so I highly recommend them.

Pros: These lights come with NMH batteries, not Nicads, so the batteries should last longer.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Good product. Works well, and has the appearance I was looking for. Lights the deck stairs very well, and stay charged in moderate sunlight.

Coastec 300 watt refurbished UPS

Buying experience was as expected. Promised delivery date was misleading. Shipper was either overly optimistic on its delivery date, or just late. Product is otherwise OK.

APC Refurbished UPS - Three Pack

The order arrived quickly, and all of the UPS's are charged up and seem to be working. All three units arrived in excellent condition. My only comment is that I cannot disable the audible alarm, so these units are not good for bedroom use.

Orico decision to send inferior product

The charging station that I ordered from Orico, apparently went out of production and was out of stock (after I ordered one). Instead of contacting me and asking me if I wanted a refund, or another product, they chose to send me a cheaper version of the charging station, and it took over two weeks to receive. After waiting so long, I didn't bother to contact them. At that point, I just wanted a refund. If they would have wanted to keep me a satisfied customer, I think they would have handled it differently. I won't bother ordering Orico products again, and I can't recommend them.
