Great Intro To Induction Cooking

TATUNG TICT-1502MU Portable Induction Cooktop with Stainless Steel Pot (Latest Version)
TATUNG TICT-1502MU Portable Induction Cooktop with Stainless Steel Pot (Latest Version)

Pros: Very fast and efficient. Reactive (versus resistive) load is good for generators or solar inverters and eases the strain and mileage you get. Heats 10 ounces of tea to 120 degrees F in about 45 seconds. You can move it anywhere in kitchen to make more space or take it with you, very light.

Cons: Manual is somewhat lacking as has been stated but there is a cooking temperature scale on their website. Fan is indeed somewhat loud but acceptable.

Overall Review: Several members of our household use this several times daily. It is quick and easy learn the different settings and once learned you get exactly what you expect. Power levels 1-4 duty cycle (turn on and off) to achieve lower powers but then again so does an electric stove. This is a great introduction to induction cooking towards making a decision about a full range top. Remember that the standard outlet is limited to 1500 watts or so but we can still cook a very large pot with a lid. The larger models that use 250 volts can achieve 3600 watts like a regular large burner. Recommended for the price, thanks NewEgg!

The Jury Is Still Out

Cavalry RAID 0 1 2 External Enclosure 3.5" SATA Drive Bays, USB 2.0 480Mbit/s, eSATA 3 Gbit/s 2-Bay SATA Disk Array Tower with eSATA Kit. Model EN-CADA2B-ZB01
Cavalry RAID 0 1 2 External Enclosure 3.5" SATA Drive Bays, USB 2.0 480Mbit/s, eSATA 3 Gbit/s 2-Bay SATA Disk Array Tower with eSATA Kit. Model EN-CADA2B-ZB01

Pros: Seems very well built. Drive response time as RAID1 is quite acceptable.

Cons: Sold through Newegg, shipped from third party seller, received wrong item, took more than a week to receive what I ordered. Wrong screws were included, requires low clearance screws to close case which fortunately I had. Fan (noisy) starts up at power on and shuts down some time afterward, even during heavy transfer when the heat builds up. Fortunately the front is very well vented so I don't think it will be a problem with the drives I am running as they don't get too hot.

Overall Review: Definitely will think twice before ordering from a third party carried by Newegg. Newegg however rocks, have not had a problem with Newegg ever!

Very good machine, very poor handling prior to packaging.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Small Form Factor Desktop PC, Intel Core i5-6500 3.20GHz, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, WiFi, Win-10 Pro x64 Grade A

Pros: Very good refurbish, very clean, quality Win 10 reseller install - but....

Cons: Machine was dropped hard onto the floor sometime between the refurbishers excellent job and putting it in the box and sealing it in plastic with the expanding foam. Frame was bent so bad on corner with expansion cards it took some time to get it apart, straighten it up so that it looks halfway presentable and hopefully no one notices the sideways cant of those covers and throwing away little bits of Dell metal parts that is part of their expansion card locking system that will no longer fit as they were like wrinkled foil. Motherboard was not damaged and I have no interest in going through the return hassle. I will call this one a buy as they can't possible mangle another one like this.

Overall Review: Overall a buy - hopefully shipping is more careful in the future.

Consistent Performance

Rosewill RX-358 V2 SLV - Silver, 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA External Enclosure with Internal 80 mm Fan

Pros: I own over 20 of these now, running 365 days a year 24 hours a day under heavy load and have not really had a problem either in ESATA or USB mode.

Cons: Internal 80X80X10mm 12V fans fail after a relatively short while. For some applications I take out the fan as these cases have plenty ventilation and this improves it. I keep a supply of these fans on hand which you can purchase online from a China supplier.

Overall Review: Quiet reliable sturdy construction designed for long term service.

Worst Ever

Aluratek APS01F Bump 3.5mm Portable Mini Speaker
Aluratek APS01F Bump 3.5mm Portable Mini Speaker

Pros: Price -- but that's not a pro really

Cons: Cheap construction, completely defective. Sounds like buzzing bees or a bad coupling capacitor -- at whatever volume.

Overall Review: Started a RMA but NewEgg only offers replacement -- not interested in another. A complete waste of money -- an unusual experience with NewEgg as NewEgg rocks!

Good Source for parts for S026G

3ch Syma S026 Mini Cargo Transport RC Helicopter
3ch Syma S026 Mini Cargo Transport RC Helicopter

Pros: Awesome that these little guys have four drive engines.

Cons: Lack of gyro makes it unstable.

Overall Review: Good for the kids to practice on before moving on to more expensive units. It is now relegated for spare parts for the S026G which is identical except contains a solid state gyro which makes it an awesome machine. Dreams of flying a Chinook
