ASUS USB 2.0 8X Slim external DVD burner Model SDRW-08D2S-U/D-BK
ASUS USB 2.0 8X Slim external DVD burner Model SDRW-08D2S-U/D-BK

Pros: Am very happy with this unit. I've only had it a few days, but it performs very well. No problem burning movies or music, and it's sleek design is a plus. It looks nice. It plugged and played right away, with no problem. I have an HP laptop circa 2006 and my optical drive has been getting flaky, so I purchased this.

Cons: Not sure about using the stand, I have it flat on my desk, and it performed well. It does have plastic 'grippers' on the bottom that keep it stationary.

Overall Review: Got this in 3 days via newegg.

Most Critical Review

Love the Camera, hated the one I got.

SAMSUNG EV-NX2000BABUS Black 20.3 MP 3.7" 1152K LCD Mirrorless Digital Camera with 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
SAMSUNG EV-NX2000BABUS Black 20.3 MP 3.7" 1152K LCD Mirrorless Digital Camera with 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

Pros: I was really impressed with this Camera. It was easy to use, took great pictures and I love all the features. But... (see cons)

Cons: It gets one egg, because what they sent me was a nightmare. I bought a 64G mini SD card to go with the Camera. It worked in every other device, but not in the Camera, unless I turned it off and on multiple times. I constantly got a "card error" message. Also, right out of the box, I got a Lens Error message and that froze the camera so it would not work. After a while that went away and I was able to take some beautiful photos. The only problem with that was, it would try and process the photo and stay on "processing" for hours. I had to eject the battery to get it to stop. This continued off and on. I tried everything. Reset, Download New Firmware, etc. The camera continued to act up. Then, it just quit taking photos. It would just to to "processing", no matter what resolution I set it on. I love the IDEA of this Camera, but the one I got was junk.

Overall Review: I still want to see if I can get a good Camera so I have asked for a replacement. It cost me $15 to ship it back. If this one doesn't work, I will be very annoyed. I really think this can be a great camera, if I get one that works. I will update this after I get the new camera and try it out.

Excellent product

AGPtek MT2 2-Way WristWatch Walkie Talkie (Pair) - Black
AGPtek MT2 2-Way WristWatch Walkie Talkie (Pair) - Black

Pros: Bought these on a whim, because they were on sale, and because I thought they were a great idea. I wasn't disappointed. Upon reading the instruction manual, they were easy to set up and use. The wrist flex button works great, just make sure that it fits snug on the wrist. Reception is great, no problems so far, but haven't tried them more than a mile from each other. Great item for communicating in large stores, where cell reception is sometimes bad. So far, no problems with this product. This would be a great item for kids, or as a holiday gift for them, or for adults that want to go camping, hiking, etc and may not have cell coverage. They are small and compact, and pretty sturdy. Very happy with product overall, it does what it says.

Cons: None so far.

Great product

Fm Transmitter Car Charger Compatible With HTC Evo Shift 6100 4G
Fm Transmitter Car Charger Compatible With HTC Evo Shift 6100 4G

Pros: I bought this for my wife's Chevy Equinox to use with her HTC Evo, since she only has a CD player that plays MP3 files, and we don't use or bother with making CD's anymore, and didn't want to buy a new system for the vehicle. We got the item quite fast, and I just gave it to my wife (who is not very tech savvy) and after a brief explanation of how it worked, she went out and hooked it up with no problems. She was very pleased and excited that it worked so well. After a week, she is still pleased with the unit. Since the lighter jack is between the seats on the floor, it can't be easily accessed from the dash, but the length of the stem was long enough for her to pretty easily access it from the drivers seat, though it isn't a good idea to do so when driving, because you have to look down to do so. But this is not the fault of the product, it's the way the Equinox is designed. But with a nice long playlist, it's not a problem for her. For the price, this was a great alternative for us.

Cons: Mentioned above, none that are the fault of the manufacturer.

Overall Review: Unit does what it advertises, and works great.

love this player

WD TV Live Media Player WDBHG70000NBK-HESN
WD TV Live Media Player WDBHG70000NBK-HESN

Pros: Works as advertised. I bought an older model WD media player and loved it, but it would not play many files (including MKV). This one does, and has very few problems. I bought this only to play video files on (like old and new TV shows) and movies, and it's great. I bought two of them, one for the living room, and one for the bedroom, and we love them.

Cons: Not any that matter for what I use this player for.

Overall Review: If you pull out flash drive without using the "home" button, the player will lose it's ability to fast forward. You then must power off the unit and power it back on again. Some MKV/MP4 files it will play only about three quarters of the way through, then freeze (but only occasionally). Overall, a very good product.

GOOD RELIABLE EXTERNAL HD

WD Elements 2TB Desktop External Hard Drive
WD Elements 2TB Desktop External Hard Drive

Pros: I bought this drive from NE over a year ago, (got it in 2 days) and it has been fast, reliable, and durable. (I even dropped it once with no bad consequences). It is super quiet, and I have had no problems with it at all. I use this drive for backup and for my music and videos. I can't think of one con for this item. For the price and quality, it's a great buy.

Cons: none.
