Very Reliable So Far

Pros: Plugged in and it played. Called Cox with the MAC and it took off like a rocket. No drop-outs since I hooked it up. Replaced a five year old Toshiba that was getting tired. As usual The Egg got it out fast with their usual low shipping fees, in fact this one may have shipped free. The Egg's price was $15 less than Cox for the exact same modem.
Cons: None as yet.
Overall Review: At the price of these things I think I will just switch out the modem and server every couple of years. I played around with the old stuff for too long before I upgraded.
Grind and Brew a Bad Choice

Pros: When it works it makes OK coffee. If your crammed for shelf space and only make an occasional pot of coffee it might be an acceptable choice.
Cons: Very hard to clean and even the smallest ground can cause flow valve to stop working and machine to overflow. Often times it will not use all the water and you have to re-run with the grinder off. For every hour you it spends making coffee it takes two hours in cleaning. I doubt this thing was ever tested by anyone who used it for more than a week.
Overall Review: Ive tried several grind and brew brands and I'm beginning to believe that the technology is not there for this process. Maybe in a machine costing several hundred dollars, but I'm unwilling to spend that much. I'm going back to simpler machines and a separate grinder.
LG GH24Ns50

Pros: Quiet
Cons: Mine quit recognizing DVD's after a couple months with low usage. Doesn't come with a SATA cable. Lg's online support doesn't work at all and the phone number listed is in-valid. LG's web site lists all models of optical drives except this one.
Overall Review: At least I found out about LG's customer support over a twenty dollar drive and not a two thousand dollar LED TV.
RCA Small Wonder

Pros: Small in size.
Cons: I have to slip the memory card card in and out before it will recognize it. If I press the format button it locks up. It uses MOV file format instead of something recognized by Adobe or Movie Maker so all files have to be converted to use in those programs. Software that comes with it is useless.
Overall Review: I should have spent a little more and got one that worked better.
Very Good TV

Pros: Very Good Set. The four HDMI inputs makes the hookup a breeze. Even the tiny speakers sound good, although most installs would be through an A/V receiver. Very light weight. Hooked mine up with an articulating arm and without the stand it only weights 23 pounds. Using HD DirecTv and the picture jumps off the screen. Maybe should have gone for the 3D version but the cost factor held me back.
Cons: None.
Sweet little router

Pros: Worked perfectly out of the box. Less drop-outs more speed and better range than my old DI424. As usual The Egg got it to me lickety split. Had it on now for two weeks with no drop outs.
Cons: None so far.
