Most Favorable Review

Excellent Day to Day Printer

Brother HL-2280DW Wireless Monochrome Multifunction Laser Printer
Brother HL-2280DW Wireless Monochrome Multifunction Laser Printer

Pros: Fast, quiet, economical, more than adequate quality for purpose

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Bought to reduce ink cost for everyday use of a multi-purpose color inkjet. 95 percent of my printing is b/w documents. Was wasting money using ink jet. This will pay for itself within six months just on ink savings.

Wow! No pain.

Panasonic Nose & Ear Trimmer with Light ER421KC
Panasonic Nose & Ear Trimmer with Light ER421KC

Pros: Trims inside nose without pulling or grabbing. Also trims eyebrows well. Even managed to extend hair cut time by a week by trimming neck hair.

Cons: Had to manipulate battery to get stable power. At first I thought it was DOA (no power), but after reinstalling the battery with a few twists it came on and has worked since.

Switch Works Perfectly

ZyXEL GS108Bv3 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with Metal Housing & Green Energy Saving Technology

Pros: Totally plug and go; connected via HomePlug, then to ROKU and Echo. Both devices seem to get perfect signals through the switch

Cons: For some reason it seems to take 10-15 seconds longer for the Echo to ask for a receive an IP from the router.

Great Sound/Complicated Setup

YAMAHA RX-V765 7.2-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver
YAMAHA RX-V765 7.2-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver

Pros: Replaced 10 yo receiver. Huge difference in sound quality. Auto speaker setup worked very well. Lots of connections.

Cons: Many of my device remotes do not provide a code for this unit; cannot turn on or off with cable box remote (or control volume) Speaker connections were crowded and difficult. Manual difficult to understand. Could not find out how to program remote to turn on the monitor (tv) (The tv is not an input device---connected to receiver's HDMI out.

Overall Review: Very good price for very good sounding system, but frustrating and difficult to set up for convenient control.
