PNY 32GB Elite Turbo Attache 3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD32GTBOP-GE)
PNY 32GB Elite Turbo Attache 3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD32GTBOP-GE)

Pros: Feels very well built, it was a cheap flash drive with quite a bit of space.

Cons: The protective lid is very hard to push down to access the port. Doesn't feel like I'm going to break the drive while doing it, but it takes quite a bit of effort.

Overall Review: I haven't run any speed tests so I have no conclusive proof, but the transfer speeds don't feel slow. Also I don't know if it's a problem with the drive or how I had it formatted, but when I first had it there were two or three times Windows had trouble accessing the drive, and once it seemed to have been corrupted. No data was lost but I had to go through the command prompt to restore it to a read-able state. I had re-formatted it to exFAT file type, and I haven't had trouble with it since then so I'm inclined to believe it was a user error.

Works well

Brother TN450 High Yield Toner Cartridge - Black
Brother TN450 High Yield Toner Cartridge - Black

Pros: The toner was easy to install and we haven't had any problems. All printouts come out just as they should

Cons: None come to mind

Overall Review: We've been using it for about a month now, usually printing out 4-5 pages a week, so we haven't put it through rigorous tests but it hasn't given us anything to worry about.

Patriot Memory FUEL Active Gold 2000 mAh Mobile Rechargeable Battery with LED Flashlight PCPA20001GL
Patriot Memory FUEL Active Gold 2000 mAh Mobile Rechargeable Battery with LED Flashlight PCPA20001GL

Pros: Small - I can easily wrap my hand around it and it sticks out maybe an inch on the end Flashlight - Very convenient to have, quite bright Light Indicator - The button on the end that you use to turn on the flashlight turns red when charging another device and turns blue when charging the battery itself. Weight - Light in my hand, but still has some weight so it doesn't feel flimsy Cords - Came with a very short USB to Micro-USB cable, great for charging your phone in your purse without a tangle of cords Battery Capacity - Has 2000mAh, which is just enough to charge my mother's phone. (It has a 1800mAh capacity)

Cons: Placement of charging plugs - This is the biggest downside I've had with this device, the USB plugs used for charging the battery and other devices are so close together that I was unable to plug both in at the same time. This may have been an issue with the cords I was using and them having large heads, but still a disappointment that I can't charge a phone and the battery at the same time. Micro USB cord included - So this is most likely nit-picking, but the included charging cable was grey, which I consider kind of ugly. No affect on the performance but I would have liked a black cable.

Overall Review: I ordered this for my mother for Christmas because her phone battery would not hold a charge throughout the day. So far it's been exactly what she needed. It's small so it fits easily in her purse, and the capacity of the battery is slightly larger than that of her phone (200 mAh difference) so she can get a full charge from each use. And if my memory is correct, these batteries generally last about 500 cycles so I should be fine for two years.

Works fine for me

LUXA2 P10 10,000mAh Dual USB Portable Power Bank with OLED Indicator for most USB-Charged devices
LUXA2 P10 10,000mAh Dual USB Portable Power Bank with OLED Indicator for most USB-Charged devices

Pros: Has a nice hefty feel to it Number display instead of the three dots that seem to be the standard 10,000mAh capacity, should be enough to charge my phone (LG L90) three times from empty to full Dual USB ports, gives me the option to charge both my iPad and my phone. It's fairly small, a little bigger than a deck of cards.

Cons: When charging the number display flashes constantly, can get annoying very quickly especially if you are trying to charge it overnight. Very minor, but the number display only has two digits, so you'll never get it up to 100%, only 99%.

Overall Review: I don't know what happened what happened with the other reviewer but I've had no problems with this device. I haven't used it a lot since I'm pretty good about keeping my phone charged but this is very nice to carry around with me just in case someone else needs to charge their phone. Also a nice feature is you can press the silver button below the number display and it will light up showing the remaining charge.

Pros: Worked fine on Windows 8.1 out of the box, don't even think I had to install the drivers. I also like the round eject button, it gives it a different feel compared to most other DVD drives.

Cons: I haven't encountered any problems, it's played all discs just fine.
