Malibu 10-Pack Low Voltage Plastic Lights LX10610T25
For the price its a bargin, comes with the spade lug bulbs too. The only issue is the height of the tubes, only about 4 inches off the ground. I like them up more but these are still fine for most walkways. The heads even fit 10 year older [...]

A sturdy, well-made microphone stand
I purchased this microphone stand to use with a large diaphragm recording microphone in a shock mount. While it only functions moderately well for this purpose, as the base is not heavy enough to completely counterbalance the microphone and microphone mount, I would have to believe it was not designed for [...]

Kreg KMS7303 30-Inch Jig, Good product; somewhat fussy

Good product; somewhat fussy
I purchased the Kreg Jig & Fixture bar to build a panel cutting jig for my Rockwell table saw. The Kreg bar comes with a series of threaded holes along the bar into which nylon set screws can be inserted. This feature allows a snug fit in all miter slots. [...]

Great Skype Phone, but the software is not perfect
Skype is a popular online network which is known for its voice chat and low rate calling to traditional landline and mobile phones. While it has traditionally been limited to use on desktop computers (and accessories plugged into desktop computers), more and more standalone “no computer required” [...]

Great AC & the best deal I could find online
I was worried about buying this, because some reviews said it was noisy, but it’s not bad at all. If you buy a window AC you can’t expect it to be silent - I find it completely tolerable. I can even stand in front [...]

McCulloch MCS2001 14 amp, Good enough for twigs and..

Good enough for twigs and leaves — excellent value
Summary:
Works well for my purposes, which include a lot of twigs, leaves, brush, and ½” to ¾” sticks. The mulch produced is much finer than I expected, and is really smaller than your typical double-shredded commercial mulch. Assembly took 1½ hours, and was pretty straightforward, [...]

great computer with a little work
I purchased the AE1900-05SUS for my 11 & 14 year old daughters. I was a little apprehensive given the very positive AND very negative reviews this system has received. I was even more nervous when the computer arrived with its factory seal broken (see previous review). However, after investing a [...]

Life Gear LGSB1070 H2O, It isn’t waterproof

It isn’t waterproof
According to the packaging, the flashlight is only water resistant, not waterproof. Those are not the same. Water resistant means it is OK in rain and damp conditions. Waterproof means that it can be submerged.
Update (9/7/2010): I also found some auctions for this item here.

The featured review for this product, Life Gear [...]

Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K, Excellent Sound & Quality

Excellent Sound & Quality
I finally received my Pioneer 1019 last night. I ended up staying up way too late last night setting this up. I purchased the Pioneer 1019 after a lengthy decision process between the Denon 1910, Onkyo 607 and Yamaha 765. I needed 4 HDMI so the earlier models wouldn’t work and [...]
