EMERSON Portable NOAA Weather Radio RP6251
EMERSON Portable NOAA Weather Radio RP6251

Pros: Free. Decent quality sound for the price. Plug adapter & battery.

Cons: Tuning fades off after awhile and have to go re-adjust to get stations clear again. Could be vibration? Not sure but not enough of a pain to -1 an egg as once again -- it was free!!

Overall Review: Not sure about the other reviews. This by no means is advertised as a boombox. Audio level and quality is what you would expect out of a radio of this size. Nothing extraordinary but not super-low quality either. Emergency weather switch works great in our area. Nothing to complain about. Happy I bought it.

LOGISYS Computer PS480D2 480 W ATX12V Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer PS480D2 480 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: None.

Cons: Bought two of these units. First unit died within 2 days. Went to replace the dead unit with the second one I had bought and it sparked and smoked immediately on power-up.

Overall Review: Zero eggs if it was possible.

Love it and great battery life.

MOTOROLA H730 Black Bluetooth Headset w/ Advanced Multipoint / Dual Microphone / Noise Reduction
MOTOROLA H730 Black Bluetooth Headset w/ Advanced Multipoint / Dual Microphone / Noise Reduction

Pros: Great battery life. Turns on and pairs quickly when a call is coming in. Fits ear perfectly and goes on quick. Doesn't physically go into the ear canal. Good sound quality.

Cons: The voice prompt (it says "Device connected, battery level is x") is sort of annoying when it first turns on but I finally figured out how to turn it off. If it gets misplaced its hard to find, but that's my problem.

Overall Review: I bought this to pair with my S5 which I had dropped so many times that the internal mic became damaged. I've never been one to keep a bluetooth on my ear ALL the time. Since I only open and turn it on when I get/make a call the battery life is amazing. Tomorrow will be 3 months of heavy use and I've only had to charge it maybe 5-6 times. When you first put this thing on it feels like it might fall off but you soon find out it doesn't and is actually very comfortable and a great design. I love the way you pull the mic out to turn it on. If I lost or damaged this thing I would definitely buy another.

ZALMAN ZM - STG1 Thermal Compound
ZALMAN ZM - STG1 Thermal Compound

Pros: Was free after rebate.

Cons: Bottle/vial type dispenser with a brush-on applicator isn't what I've used in the past. Basically a fingernail polish vial design. The fact that I had to keep putting the applicator into the vial to get more on the bristles was kind of a pain -- plus the fact that you are basically brushing on the paste doesn't seem right after years of applying thermal paste as a whole and letting the heatsink spread it with pressure. I can imagine tiny air bubbles being created when a heatsink is applied. Have only used it once --

Overall Review: Didn't notice a difference in temps, but again, it was free after rebate so I'm not complaining -- I just wouldn't buy it.

P3 International  P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor
P3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor

Pros: Works awesome for testing out your power levels -- Have no problems testing up to 15amps .. haven't tried anything past that.

Cons: Its wide so it will cover up any plugs right next to it but thats to be expected with a device like this. No reason to drop and egg.

Overall Review: The history/logging feature is really nice so you can actually see how much energy you're using per month on an outlet array. Currently have a 3-way splitter outlet on mine which is hooked up to my computer repair station, where each outlet has a 10-12 plug surge protecter. There are currently about 20 plugs running through the meter at any given time. Definitely nice when you think you might be pulling too many amps through a certain socket.
