Most Favorable Review

Kenneth P.'s review (below) is on point!

Seagate Backup Plus 2TB USB 3.0 3.5" Desktop Hard Drive STCA2000100 Black
Seagate Backup Plus 2TB USB 3.0 3.5" Desktop Hard Drive STCA2000100 Black

Pros: Kenneth noticed that the overwhelming majority of the negative posts are for the 4tb and 3tb drives, not the 2tb. drive on this page. He's correct that Newegg should do a better job with categorizing their reviews. I went further and here's what I found: Of the 1-star reviews only 7 of 42 were for 2tb units. Of the 2-star reviews only 2 of 17 were for 2tb units. And of 3-star reviews only 7 of 19 were for 2tb units. There were also a couple of 1tb units which I counted in the 2tb area to give further balance. In the 3-star category there are a couple of extensive reviews that you might want to read, just for detailed info, by Joe S. and Darrell. B.t.w., even with 3-stars, they both recommended this H/D. And, remember, there are a lot more 1tb and 2tb H/D's sold than 3's or larger.

Cons: Newegg, you almost cost yourself a sale----and would have if I hadn't read Kenneth P.'s new review today.

Overall Review: Newegg usually gets it right. I'll bet they correct this one eventually.

Most Critical Review

Oh, Really?

VIZIO 47" 3D LCD HDTV with VIZIO Internet Apps 1080p, E3D470VX
VIZIO 47" 3D LCD HDTV with VIZIO Internet Apps 1080p, E3D470VX

Pros: Fine Vizio product, as usual

Cons: Newegg: Check your pricing, please.

Overall Review: This puppy is only 588 now at a company down in the "dell". (Was 598 when I bought mine.) That's NEW, not refurb and includes one year mfg. warranty and free shipping. Of course you may have to pay state sales tax (but not local city/county tax), depending on your state, but still a better deal considering the new warranty, IMO.

Nice finished product, weak instructions

Sharp Trim Kit For 1.8 Cu. Ft. RK51 Black
Sharp Trim Kit For 1.8 Cu. Ft. RK51 Black

Pros: Nice finish for the Sharp m/w.

Cons: Suggestion to manufacturer: Provide a paper template with the EXACT layout of the screws. Would save a lot of hit-or-miss effort. (I'm a builder so I know a little of what I speak.) I wasn't as impressed with the oven itself. Go there to see that review.

There are better ones, probably even at Newegg

Sharp 1200 Watts Microwave Oven R530EKT Sensor Cook Black
Sharp 1200 Watts Microwave Oven R530EKT Sensor Cook Black

Pros: Reasonable quality. 1200 w. Competitive price from Newegg The sensor re-heat is one feature that I do like---don't like a number of others, b.t.w.

Cons: Over-hyped capabilities. Features you'll never ever use. Too-complex programming to get to simple chores. Some are simply overkill that Sharp engineered in for bragging rights IMO. Certainly wouldn't recommend this unit for an elderly person---or even anyone who isn't particularly computer-savvy. One feature I enjoy on two other m/w's that we own (G.E. and Sears), they return a "handle" dish to the exact location (rotation) where it was when you put it in the oven---Sharp missed this one.

Overall Review: Sharp tries to tell you " all the recipes" this m/w will cook automatically. Actually there are only five, for which they give you a two-page ink-jet recipe "sheet". Then Sharp markets to you (sells you) a hard-bound recipe book, which one must presume is designed to work hand-in-glove with this m/w. It doesn't---publishing probably predates the features of this m/w. Also bought the "build-in" kit. Nice finished, but Sharp really should provide a paper template so that you get the screws in the EXACT location on the first try. Would I buy it again or recommend? No.
