Most Favorable Review

A great choice for the price

LOGITECH G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse #910-004074
LOGITECH G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse #910-004074

Pros: Good ergonomic design for your hand, comfortable for people with larger hands like myself, good positioning on the buttons as well. setup is a little time consuming for configuration profiles but very easy to switch between.

Cons: the bottom plate you can remove to set the weights into the mouse is held on there with a magnet. Not horrible on it's own but I'd prefer to minimize anything magnetic near my workspace.

Overall Review: bought this as a replacement for my old mx1000 mouse, hated to see it go but I definitely enjoy having a working middle button again. The software the mouse comes with is a little shaky I feel. you can change the actions on each button, but if you don't assign something to a button it's input just isn't recognized by the system, bit of a disappointment really. I won't list this specifically as a con as it's only such to me, your experience with the mouse may vary.

Most Critical Review

Would have preferred something else

Rosewill Portable Induction Cooktop Burner, 1800W, 8 Power/Temp Levels, Touch Panel, LED Display, Timer, Auto Shut-Off, Child Safety Lock, Includes Stainless Steel Pot - (RHAI-13001)
Rosewill Portable Induction Cooktop Burner, 1800W, 8 Power/Temp Levels, Touch Panel, LED Display, Timer, Auto Shut-Off, Child Safety Lock, Includes Stainless Steel Pot - (RHAI-13001)

Pros: good selection for both temp or wattage ranges, very sleek design, easy to clean surface thanks to how smooth it is.

Cons: Okay, admittedly I've only used this to cook burgers on, but the way the induction works, to have it actually heat the pan quickly has caused my pans to bloom fairly quickly. ie: they have started to have a bluish/black discoloring from being used with this induction plate. It's possible that Thicker Pots/pans would not experience this, but still be cautious. This issue is especially apparent with the Pot that is included.

Overall Review: Look elsewhere, this particular induction plate looks nice, but it's way to easy to watch thin pans glow and likely have to replace way sooner than you should have to consider if cooking pan items, soups and other mixes that include noodles you might be okay using as it would more easily distribute the heat being generated.

Durability to last

Rosewill RMS-MA3210 - Monitor Mount / Silver 17.00" - 32.00" Tilt & Swivel Wall Mount
Rosewill RMS-MA3210 - Monitor Mount / Silver 17.00" - 32.00" Tilt & Swivel Wall Mount

Pros: HEAVY. this thing out of the box has a heft to it suggesting it will outlast your monitor, whatever you choose to mount the sucker to, and yourself. The steel construction is immediately apparent, and they do not skimp on the screws and other mounting hardware to affix your monitor to.

Cons: missing a third point of articulation/rotation. The unit feels like it was designed to be more of a straight on mount, there is a just a bit of slack where the mounting slot mounts to the wall, placing it to a slight angle, normally not too bad but is easier to notice if you swivel it 90 degrees. Correctable if your willing to work with something to shim/shore it up, but would have been a lot easier to correct if it had a way to rotate the screen.

Overall Review: Overall a very good item that immediately feels like it's strong. For my particular experience I had to go buy different wood screws to properly mount this, as I was going into 3/4 inch wood paneling and didn't have to worry about finding a wall stud, this did however mean the 3 inch wood screws that are included were useless to me.

Exceptional Purchase

Rosewill Infrared Halogen Convection Oven R-HCO-11001
Rosewill Infrared Halogen Convection Oven R-HCO-11001

Pros: an absolute dream when trying to cook anything, you can shave off a lot of time & spent energy. Heats up to cooking temperature amazingly quick, has a decent settings for choosing both temperature and cook time.

Cons: the light they use to generate the Heat is amazingly bright, best to not look at it directly. The bowl shape also makes it somewhat difficult to lift food out from the unit.

Overall Review: Overall a very nice purchase, be somewhat wary as this is not a replacement for a conventional oven as there's simply not enough room for large meals, great for cooking small to midsize meals or heating something up faster than an oven would.
