Works!
Pros: It works! As advertised with my Canon Vixia HF100 camera in the highest quality HD setting.
Cons: None
Great Product - Bum Power Adapter
Pros: Awesome product. More features than I knew what to do with. Despite the numerous features the configuration was still straightforward. Excellent range, even going through walls and floors. Speeds as advertised. - Has all the security options, including MAC filtering - Firmware upgrade was simple and straight forward
Cons: - Shipped with bum power supply! Thank goodness I had a compatible one from my old router, but that sucks buying something new and having it come with bum equipment. I contacted the manufacturer asking them if they could just send me an AC adapter and they said I had to ship the entire product back to them. NewEgg customer service was rock solid as always, they offered me a more than acceptable solution as always. - Router ships with WAN port defaulted to static IP, not dynamic. It took me about 10 minutes to figure it out, but it makes no sense when most cable\dsl providers dynamically send IP address to customers.
Overall Review: This is a 5-star product getting a 3-star rating because of a bum power adapter. Other than that, it's the best router I have ever had.
Terribly Great Price, Terrible Interface, Talk Time
Pros: Low price Great audio quality Great speakerphone quality Good reception Good standby life Good battery life and reception indicators Lightweight Small Durable
Cons: Terrible, non-intuitive interface Terrible battery life if you actually use the phone Did not come with instructions in English Take too long to lock the phone Can only display 6 characters of a text message at a time
Overall Review: I have two phones. A work issued Blackberry, and a personal phone (the F3). I only use my personal phone for talking to someone, I don't text or do anything else on it. I bought the F3 because I was looking for a no-frills cheap phone for personal use. It's acceptable for what I use it for, but it certainly has its shortcomings. Battery life on it is only good if you don't talk on it, but if you have a conversation on it you WILL need to charge it that night. This phone got a 3\5 from me losing a point for the following issues: - Terrible interface - Bad battery life when using the phone
Mediocre
Pros: Watch Live TV, recorded TV, pictures, videos, and DVDs. HDMI, Composite HD, RCA standard, and s-video outputs. Upgrading firmware is very easy, however the firmware updates have yet to address the many minor flaws of the devices. Technical support is OK, but hard to reach.
Cons: So many minor flaws: - Remote SUCKS; it has very little range - DVD playback will sometimes stutter because the device is reconnecting to the computer, even though a computer connection shouldn't even be required - The DVD player doesn't do the volume correctly. You have to turn you volume WAY up when watching a DVD, but then when it goes back to a DVD menu it's blaring loud. Firmware updates do not fix this - Bandwidth sensitive; the less wireless bandwidth you have the more issues you'll have with stuttering video and sluggish menus - Does not always play with wireless good. It didn't want to work with my routers security alpha-phrase. Tech support told me to use a hexadecimal code instead and that did clear up the issue - LOOOOOONG boot times. Want to insert a DVD? Well if the device is off it takes 1-2 minutes for it to boot up and open the DVD tray so you can insert a DVD.
Overall Review: This device is neat and I've had it for almost a year. However, with all the issues I had I wish I just would have rented a DVR from the cable company.
Pleased, but LOUD!
Pros: Moves A LOT of air. Filters are easy to install.
Cons: Very loud on highest setting. Noise is acceptable on lowest setting.
Overall Review: Even though the high setting is noisy it's great. We turn this sucker on when we leave the house and then always sleep better with less sneezing when we get back.
Good Value, Worked
Pros: It works. Good value. Newegg ships quickly to the Detroit area, even with the free\cheapest shipping option.
Cons: No included cables or jumpers. Packaging is a little on the "lite" side, but it got to my door just fine.
Overall Review: Didn't buy it for performance, just bought it to replace a failed drive in the wife's computer so she can get back to her web surfing.
Shipped fast, as described. Very happy.
I'm very happy with the seller. Item was shipped via USPS (as requested). However, because the seller shipped so quickly I received the item on the other side of the country in short order. Item was in perfect condition, as described. Thanks!
