Wonderful

Kingston FCR-HS219/1 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader
Kingston FCR-HS219/1 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader

Pros: Works as you would expect it to. The first thing I tested out on it was the memory card from my BlackBerry and it pulled up all the data on my pc desktop so I could save all my pictures, etc. without having to email them to myself.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Mine came with an "extension" cord so even though the initial cord on the unit is only a few inches long, the extra cord shipped with it works perfectly for plugging it into your pc. I love that it does not require add'l software to use it. It is truly a plug and play item.

Still need more power

ORICO H4988-U3-BK 4 Ports USB 3.0 Super Speed HUB - Black
ORICO H4988-U3-BK 4 Ports USB 3.0 Super Speed HUB - Black

Pros: It powers 4 USB devices. The cable from the port to the computer is pretty long.

Cons: Its big and bulky. I plugged in the same 4 devices from my non-powered UBS port and I immediately got a notice on my iMac that some devices needed more power. Same devices that just came from a non-powered port. What's that say?

Very happy with purchase!

Dyson AM11 Pure Cool Tower Purifier Fan
Dyson AM11 Pure Cool Tower Purifier Fan

Pros: Quiet, looks brand new, works right out of the box, keeps you cool without blowing everything in the room around, small footprint. Can be used to purify the room without having the air blowing on you.

Cons: Expensive and costs a lot for the ceramic filter that needs replacing once a year. Remote hard to operate in the dark in bed with no raised surface. It’s completely smooth and hard to figure out which button to press with no light.

Overall Review: Small footprint but great fan. Had a hard time swallowing the price but decided with all my allergies I would give it a try since it also purifies the air. I can’t say yet if I’m better off with my sinuses sleeping with it on or not. I do like it as a fan. It’s very quiet. It looks brand new. Came well boxed!! The remote looked VERY used and was missing paint (the reason for deducting 1 egg) but I reached out to the seller and was quickly mailed out a new remote with battery. Very happy with the seller for doing this. Overall I’m glad I bought it and I keep it on 1 when I’m not home as recommended by the tutorial videos on other sites. Keeping it on 1 purifies the air without running the fan to cool the room. I live in S Florida where it’s always hot. It’s nice to have and have given up my ceiling fan that’s too hard to keep clean.

Pretty stone

Sterling Silver Swiss Blue Topaz Pendant (0.90 CT) With 18 Inch Chain
Sterling Silver Swiss Blue Topaz Pendant (0.90 CT) With 18 Inch Chain

Pros: Received this today. The stone color is a very pretty blue topaz and I like how the stone is set. Nice size stone too. Came in a much nicer light blue with white ribbon gift box compared to the thick cardboard fold out gift boxes other retailers are using.

Cons: Comes with a thin link chain; not a box chain like other retailers are using. Guess the nicer box compensates for the cheaper made chain. The chain has the ability to be worn at a shorter length but when you look closely at the necklace, the 2nd link down from this extra large loop is attached to the large loop along with the 1st link. It's a minor flaw but makes it look cheaply made. I'm crossing my fingers the recipient doesn't ever notice it because she is so busy looking at the pretty stone.

Overall Review: I knocked two eggs off because it passed QC with the link soldered to the larger closure loop and the fact that the chain is thin and cheap looking. Oravo uses a box chain that looks to be a much better quality. You can't really see the chain because you are only given one picture of the pendant.

Very pretty

Cupid Duet 3.50 carats Heart Shape Sterling Silver London Blue Topaz Pendant Earrings Set
Cupid Duet 3.50 carats Heart Shape Sterling Silver London Blue Topaz Pendant Earrings Set

Pros: Pretty color London Blue Topaz color. Looks pretty well made for the price.

Cons: Comes in zip bags inside a necklace cardboard gift box. Not happy about that. Not proper presentation for a gift. Also has a "do not remove tag or void warranty" sticker on one earring and the bail of the necklace. Can't imagine what the recipient will think when she opens the box and sees those. But you can't remove them in case they don't like them or you need to ship them back.

Overall Review: Can see minimum flaws with the silver so that's why I knocked off one egg.

Terrible

Round Cut Garnet Pendant Sterling Silver
Round Cut Garnet Pendant Sterling Silver

Pros: Nice garnet color.

Cons: I mailed this item back today for a replacement hoping the next one looks less cheap and better made. The stone looked hammered into the bezel setting and the bail had an extra piece of metal/silver on it in the front. Both were clearly noticeable and looked like junk costume jewelry. Comes in a cheesy cardboard gift box that you will want to throw away and give in a much nicer box or you will look like you purchased costume jewelry as a gift for a loved one.

Overall Review: Also ordered this in the peridot and returned it today as well. Returned the peridot one because of a flaw with the outer circle. One spot was thinner than the rest and noticeable while wearing. Emailed Oravo customer service asking for replacements of both the garnet and peridot and sent pics of both pieces. Was given a RMA number and a statement that read, "that is how the item is constructed".
