More than a steal

Kodak EasyShare M853 Black 8.2 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Kodak EasyShare M853 Black 8.2 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: I got this camera on a whim for my trip to Hawaii as a entry level point & shoot digital camera and it has far surpassed my expectations. Ultra-compact size, fits easily in your pocket. 8.2 MP takes great sized pictures. Large LCD allows for easy picture previewing. More features and presets than you would expect. Very intuitive and easy to use. Definitely best camera in it's price range.

Cons: No wall charger means you have to charge from your computer, but not a big enough inconvenience to lose a golden egg.

Overall Review: Long Time exposure option allows for taking well lit pictures in low light conditions. Other users mentioned the package deals, so I took a look at them and found an amazing bundle that was more than well priced.

Another quality RAV product.

RAVPower® Laptop Notebook Replacement AC Adapter for Dell Latitude D400 D500 D510 D600 D610 D620 D630 X300 131L E4300; Studio 1555 1537 1536 Fits PA-12 PA-2E PA-1650-05D2 F7970
RAVPower® Laptop Notebook Replacement AC Adapter for Dell Latitude D400 D500 D510 D600 D610 D620 D630 X300 131L E4300; Studio 1555 1537 1536 Fits PA-12 PA-2E PA-1650-05D2 F7970

Pros: Smart design isn't necessarily bulky. Doesn't get hot. Not heavy, but doesn't feel cheap. My dell hasn't complained at all about the charger.

Cons: I actually bought this for my Inspiron N411Z, which isn't listed as a supported product for any of RAV's chargers at the time of purchase. Ended up having to do a bunch of cross referencing to make sure I got the right one.

Overall Review: I bought this to keep in my bookbag, so that I didn't have to hassle with plugging and unplugging my charger at home or forgetting it when I leave for the day. Haven't had any issues with it at all.

Flawless

Vizio 40" Home Theater Sound Bar With Remote - VSB200
Vizio 40" Home Theater Sound Bar With Remote - VSB200

Pros: Great sound, best I would expect without having rear satellites in your system. Everything worked out of the box and continues to work great. LEDs make intuitive sense after a quick look at the manual.

Cons: Remote is dinky, but works. I just tied the functions to a universal remote. If you don't have one, you should consider just grabbing one of the base model's Logitech offers.

Overall Review: This is my entire sound system, no sub-woofer. I find it to produce a very pleasing range of sound that doesn't get me in trouble with my neighbors.

Wow

Pros: Picture quality is fantastic. VERY affordable. Fully featured. Play media off of USB storage. (using and adapter was able to play an .AVI off of an SD card I snagged out of a camera)

Cons: Don't use built in speakers. I just view them as a last resort, just like laptop speakers. Buy yourself a sound bar. Or if you are trying to do something lower profile (or budgeted) Grab laptop speakers (I am a Logitech fan boy).

Overall Review: I bought this referb for my Dad and it blew him away. Guy won't stop talking about how much more he enjoys watching his favorite shows and movies. It is unfortunate that some others go lemons, if you look at outside reviews for these TVs; they are stellar. Don't let the built in speakers run you off. You shouldn't be using built in speakers on a TV.

Surprisingly Useful

Panasonic EW-DJ10-A Portable 2-Speed Oral Irrigator

Pros: Easily clears away large debris. Great for preliminary clean.

Cons: Works too well as a squirt gun. Hard to use as intended, especially if there are any bugs, pets or significant others around.

Overall Review: I especially like having this around if I have eaten recently before brushing my teeth. It really blasts away any left over bits, preventing that uncomfortable minty/food mash up that can occur.

RAVPower 5600 mAh External Battery Pack Portable Charger Power Bank for most Smartphones and other USB-charged Devices
RAVPower 5600 mAh External Battery Pack Portable Charger Power Bank for most Smartphones and other USB-charged Devices

Pros: Practical Weight Large Capacity Works with all standard amp USB Flashlight is easier to use than phone's flash. (especially in tight spots, like cables behind a TV)

Cons: Large Capacity means it takes a long time to charge.

Overall Review: It is light enough that I ALWAYS carry it in my day pack, along with a micro USB cable and an adapter head for Ipod. No more dead smart phone. No more dead Ipod. No more dead bluetooth set. Ever!
