neat toy

Feit Electric A19/HP/LED/PARTY 50 W Equivalent 50W Equivalent 120 Volt Color-Enhancing LED Light Bulb
Feit Electric A19/HP/LED/PARTY 50 W Equivalent 50W Equivalent 120 Volt Color-Enhancing LED Light Bulb

Pros: Very handy, nice room accent

Cons: none. what's with all the 4 stars

Overall Review: This is not so much for illumination as room accenting. I use one in my theatre for mood lighting and a couple in my bedroom. Sorta sexy, plus you don't have to get out of bed to turn the lights off! You get a remote with each bulb and they are interchangeable, so you have spares if you buy more than one bulb. No idea how long the bulbs or remotes last, but mine are going strong nearly a year. I am going to order more and give them as gifts.

Most Critical Review

unreliable

Pros: Great beam pattern, using 5 LED's

Cons: Unreliable. Returns cost $25. Just not up to standards.

Overall Review: Right now FENIX flashlights rule the market.

Meh

EdgeStar Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Air Purification
EdgeStar Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Air Purification

Pros: It blows air with slightly lower sensible temperature.

Cons: None really, for what it is and what it costs. Just don't expect much.

Overall Review: First, people who think this will cool indoors need to talk to somebody who passed thermodynamics. It will NOT cool a closed space. Over time, it would just make a hot, dry room a hot, humid room. Outdoors (on a porch) it gives a nice breeze. If it is really hot (100+) and dry, it's nicer than a plain fan. 4-5 degrees lower sensible temperature sitting in the flow stream. But manufacturer claim of "up to" 12 degrees of sensible temperature drop will disappoint most users. That level of performance would require inhuman ambient conditions.

only one light came

Pros: It showed-up

Cons: Only one light

Overall Review: This is pretty clearly an offer for two of these lights. A single one showed-up in the mail

functions as intended

Rosewill RSL-112 - Single Head PIR Motion Sensor Solar Light
Rosewill RSL-112 - Single Head PIR Motion Sensor Solar Light

Pros: It works. Put it in and forget it.

Cons: Limited light output. Unit times out quickly unless you are moving around a lot.

Overall Review: I put one of these in my barn, just to get enough light to navigate around the equipment after dark. It has been installed 8-9 months and works fine.

Horrible Support

Intuit TurboTax Deluxe Federal + eFile 2011
Intuit TurboTax Deluxe Federal + eFile 2011

Pros: Great when it gets installed

Cons: Horrible Customer Service. Needed to install on 2nd machine (EULA says up to 5 allowed). Disc asks for an authorization number and credit card number. Since I purchased through NewEgg, I received no numbers. Intuit has a 30 minute wait for support. The girl was CLUELESS, messed around 15 minutes, then said call would be transferred. Phone just hung up. Back to square one. ARGH.
