the hotdog compartment takes some wrestling to put in and pull out......
last but not least....it is a pain.....to clean  :  )
and 'that's' ....all i got for ya!

This looks good, but has too many issues to actually use.

There are simply too many moving parts. The screw that connects the weight arm with the main body comes loose easily, causing the weights to shift if you hold the device at an angle. The handle itself has three points where it can come loose. The ball-joint, for setting the angle, can somehow be too loose to support the camera and too tight to adjust at the same time.

I used it primarily with my phone, to ensure I didn't have too much weight.

This product has several flaws:
1. Printing in the display is TOO SMALL!!!!!!
You really need the eyes of an owl to see the very small printing.

2. The instructions aren't 'clean'.
There are buttons to press 'fast' or 'slow and hold' -- this is out!
Machine switches between undesired functions too many times.

3. Can't easily switch from 'play' to 'stop' and another file and then directly to 'Record' -- machine has to pause and go through a cycle -- FORGET IT! Give me another button to press.

4. I want to plug it into the wall -- not my computer, to charge. NO WALL CHARGER!

The POSITIVE side is the long recording time - and that is it!

I got this unit ONLY because my Olympus died -- Olympus was a great 'message minder' -- I simply wore it out.

I am SO sorry I got this unit.
I do not want it to play MP3 recordings -- I deleted these the first thing.
I want it to take dictation and lots of it -- and I want to put that on the computer (It does that OK).

AND, if the printing is going to be this small -- give me a magnifying glass with it to read the face of it!

This case has serious design flaws.
1. Firstly, you can not toggle the ring/silent switch on the top of the left edge of your iPhone.  Due to the thickness of the edges of the case, your finger won't reach the ring/silent switch.
2. Due to the same reason, the 3.5mm jack of my headphone is not working properly.
3. The installation of the case is also not smooth like the other cases I have used.
4. The back of the case is slippery.

There are some serious flaws in this product, first of all I'm a motorcycle mechanic, I take apart and put back together motorcycles for a living, so I thought this should be a piece of cake, but it wasn't like that at all, It took me about an hour to finish putting the thing together only to find out I need to file off a piece of plastic that's touching the steering column,

One more thing is the safety belt, the three point safety belt is far from being safe, it keeps falling from my sons shoulders no matter what setting I put it in or how much I tighten it. Nowadays, anything less then a five point harness and a Harness Clip&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/like-this-one/dp/B002VSAPHC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">like this one</a>&nbsp;will not hold any child in place.
UPDATE (Nov 23rd 2011): My son is 1 year and three months old and has out grown the seat belt that's in it's maximal setting... Too bad :-(

The parking brake lever, that's located on the rear axle, is longer then the radius of the wheels so when you go up or down the stairs, it touches the stairs before the left wheel when going up or gust after the wheel when going down. It keeps getting bumped and I have no doubt it will break sooner rather then later.

after your child grows and you plan to take out the plastic part holding the legs of the 6 months baby, you should know that the front wheel is not protected and your baby's legs are not long enough to reach the foot pegs yet, so the legs are in the air, and it's only a matter of time till one of his legs gets clinched between the front fork and the wheel. To avoid that I usually lean on the handle to tilt the trike back so the front wheel is in the air and doesn't spin.

The sunshade is very small and positioned too high so it doesn't do much in shading my child, it's more for looks then it is for sun protection.

It doesn't fold quickly like you would expect from a toy this big that gets to go with you, it needs to be taken into three pieces and then to be put back together.

Bottom line, my son loves the thing and the concept of this product is great but it requires some serious re engineering.

Although it has plenty of space, there are many flaws.
1st. It won't automatically connect with all my pcs. Some of my laptops will not recognize the drive when they are brought out of standby or restarted. They need to be unplugged and replugged. The usb cable is not standard. The drive end is what they claim to be a usb 3 micro end, but that the standard was not adpoted. Great. The computer end is a usb 2.0 compatible, but often on 3 computers needs to be wiggled to work.

The drive is not fast.

The memeo backup software is horrendous. I would not call this backup software. More like take a chance software.

BTW I had to exchange my first drive because it would give me errors after it heated up. Stay away from this drive. Now that it has had time to be reviewed by multiple people, they are experiencing the same complaints. It's got to tell you something.  I want my money back

I have been using this for about a year now.  It transmitter works reasonably well for reading temperatures; the range is good and battey life is good.  The problems:  the probe wires are about a foot too short for most uses; have to have the transmitter too close to heat source.  Configuring the receiver menu and setpoints is ridiculously complicated.  They try to make it useful by having the user select what he is cooking: beef, pork, chicken, emu, possum, etc.  (slight exageration; but you get the point) and then have the stupid thing pick the done temperature.  I know how to cook, I know what temperature bound I am trying to stay within (for the smoker) and I know what temperature I want to food to come too.  I can't simply enter the numbers I want ... have to read the directions about 3 times each time I use the silly thing.  Also, the buttons are heavily debounced, that is, to make a selection or input, you must hold the buttons down about 2-3 seconds.  Until I figured that out, it just seemed like the damn thing was broken and ignoring inputs

This device suffers from serious flaws that make it unsuitable for anyone with a lot of music. I have 10k songs, for reference. The sound is good though, and adding music is easy. Unfortunately the following flaws with the user interface make it pretty useless.

1. Freezes constantly - every time you select an artist, album, etc, there is a long pause lasting up to a minute.
2. It can only display songs by their file name, not the song name -- so everything ends up listed as stuff like "01 - Bob Marley - Riding High.m4a"... try finding a song in the songs menu that way.
3. Scroll wheel is way, way too slow. It takes ages for me to get to any songs or artists towards the middle of the alphabet.
4. If the device goes to sleep, it loses what song you were on, and you have to find it all over again.
5. Playlists are very difficult to add. You cannot use a playlist you made on your computer and have it show up in the playlist folder- instead you have to track down the actual playlist file in the data folders.

Too many issues to list, but let's start with the biggest pain points.
1. Difficult user control.
The remote is almost as big as my TV remote.. With so many buttons, it's impossible to know what you're pushing while driving.
There is no quick key for the most used applications, and without a touch-screen, this user interface is useless.
2. Cheap plastic parts.
The faceplate buttons are ridiculously cheap, and often stick so that they remain pressed. (power button was the first to do this to me)
3. Internal Fan.
The fan in this unit runs all the time.. but sometimes squeals.

Honestly, I did try to like the unit enough to keep it, but after I realized I was spending more time looking at the radio than the road, I ended up returning the product.

Pros:
- Flexible design
- Sturdy and well-made
- Beautifully packaged and padded

Cons:
- Assembly instructions are not great
- One of the hardware bags was two washers short
- The manual has a couple of CAD errors that could result in incorrect assembly
- Casters use non-locking nuts that require a second wrench to tighten
- One caster ended up being far from level and no washers are provided for adjustment
- Design flaws when assembled at the minimum 22" depth (see below)

When assembled at the minimum depth of 22 inches, this rack has a couple of problems:

- You only get to use two (rather than four) bolts to secure each piece of the extensible rails.

- One of each caster's four bolts clashes with the nuts on the inside of the extensible rails. Inserting the bolt is already very difficult, and tightening it is worse: since the casters' nuts are not locking, the head of the bolt must be held still with one wrench while tightening the nut with another, and it's nearly impossible to maneuver a wrench between the nuts on the inside of the rail to hold the caster bolt. When you do get it right, it's extremely precarious and at an awkward angle that's begging for the bolt to slip.

OCD tip: Using a torque wrench, tighten the M8 bolts holding the rack together to 147 in-lb.

Like other reviewers I thought this would be great in my closets and cabinets. However, it suffers from several design defects that make it highly annoying and ultimately unusable. For one thing the wires to connect to your lights is way too short thus limiting where you can place the sensor unit. In addition, the sensitivity of the item seems to vary depending on the type of surface it encounters. For example, it seems to register a cabinet door from a much shorter distance than it does a human. I had adjusted my sensor to the exact distance away from the cabinet door that it would just register when the door was opened. When you open the cabinet door and activate the sensor that part works fine but if you stand in front of the door even from several feet away it will sense your body and begin to flicker on and off very annoyingly. There is no way to adjust or position the sensor so that it either registers the cabinet door and/or a human. Since you open the cabinet and then look in it thus fails at its basic level. I ultimately replaced this type of sensor with a motion sensor which works much better.

I'll start with the good: the case is lightweight, sturdy, clips on very (very! -- more on that later) securely.  The magnetic closing strap folds nicely over the power button to prevent accidental activations.

The bad is very bad.  First and foremost, this case cannot be used with the docking charger, as the magnetic charging port is completely blocked by plastic.  The SD card port is likewise blocked and inaccessible.  That latter might be less important except that the case clips so securely onto the device that it actually requires considerable effort to remove (I had the best luck using a thumbnail on the lower left corner to get it started, then worked my way down the side).  I have no idea how anyone could justify describing this as 'all openings are placed perfectly' with that kind of oversight.

In addition, there is insufficient friction on the case for it to reliably be used as a stand.  It holds on perfectly steady, level surfaces, but not, for instance, reading a book in bed.

The magnetic closing strap is a startlingly bright orange which didn't really seem so out of place in the photos, but after a while started to seem garish to me.  Tastes may vary.

As a quick way of keeping your screen protected from being stuffed into a bag, the case technically works, but I wish I had bought something else.

I think it's a nice size with a lot of features arranged in an intuitive way.  But here are some problems I've experienced after a few months of use:

1) The battery that comes with it is pretty weak.  If you can't fully charge it more than once a day, you may run out.
2) The USB cord is really poorly designed.  It fits in sort of flimsily and comes unattached if you move it (you hear that two-note bell from your computer).  Plus there's a sync button at the base of the cord, so I sometimes sync it when all I wanted to do was plug it in or take it out.
3) The "hang up" and "voice mail" buttons are in the same place on the screen.  So you may be intending just to hang up, but you end up hanging up and calling voice mail.

I want to like it.  I love the color and feel and do not find that there is a smell as others experienced. I am fine with the larger dimensions, it's not that big, not much more than a regular notebook.  It is not that heavy, which is very nice.  However, there are serious design flaws that make it far less useful than I need it to be.

The accordion file holder does not hold tabbed 8.5 x 11" file folders.  The design flaw seems to be where it is stitched toward the spine. It is too high up by 1/4" causing the tabs of file folders to stick 1/4"+ out, which blocks the zipper from being able to close.  The bottom of the accordion pocket is also stitched flat down, and does not expand out.  It is such a tight fit that I can not get more than about 20 sheets of paper to actually fit into the space without doing damage to my papers.  I am very disappointed by this as I bought this entirely because of the accordion pocket.

It is certainly big enough to allow file folders.  File folders do fit in it if you simply lay them in the center, but that is getting messy with small papers coming loose.

The second design flaw that could be fixed are the  row of small pockets.  They are 1/8 - 1/4" too small to fit 3x5" index cards , horizontally.  They do fit vertically, but it looks messy.

The notepad holder only holds top loading notepads, which I suspected.  Upon looking at the design in person, it would take very little to redesign the area to allow for a notepad to be loaded at the top or bottom or side, which would make it much nicer and more useable for a variety of occasions.

I am debating whether to modify it myself in the areas I can, or just send it back.  I love the color, but is it worth $29 (what I paid) for such a poorly designed "professional" padfolio?  I am mostly disappointed about the inability to hold file folders in the space provided for such a thing.

It's a basic case, and it displays well enough I suppose.

That said, it suffers from a terrible design flaw; the clear lid is held into place on the base via two tension clips, to remove the base, you need to apply outward pressure on both clips simultaneously while also pressing up from underneath the base. The design flaw lies in the placement of the clips - they're on the very edge of the base, and I quickly found that my hands and fingers were far too large to even touch the clips, let alone apply pressure in two directions with both of my hands. There simply isn't room to do so, and while it may not be an issue for children or people with very thin and small fingers, it isn't something I could manage.
In addition, in my effort to release the clips, the lip of the clear case snapped off at the clip, leaving a nasty looking break in the lid and the broken-off clip stuck in the base.

It really is an issue that shouldn't exist at all, as the lid fits securely into the base without the clips, and the poorly designed clip system is simply redundant and unnecessary.

My other complaints, albeit relatively minor ones is that the backdrop is of extremely low quality (I didn't use it), the instructions refer to both the  backdrop and the 'street' display for the base as having removable paper backsides as if they were stickers - they are not. Also, the twist-ties included with the base are too short, and way too weak and flexible to hold any car steady within the base; you're better off using twist-ties commonly found in the supermarket which are used to tie bags shut.

I've had a number of problems with this stereo. The first problem is the navigation wheel. It's a neat concept, but it has some flaws. The main problem is that in order to select some items you must click the wheel in the dead center. This is incredibly difficult to do while driving. What happens most often is, instead of hitting the button dead on, you end up pushing it in one of the various navigation directions. Depending on what function you are performing, this can be a very frustrating process.

I've also had a number of problems when using the SD slot. The unit is incredibly slow at reading the card. I read in the manual that if you have a large folder hierarchy it can lead to this problem. As a workaround, I collapsed the folder hierarchy on the card and placed all of my files in one directory. This allowed the card or read much faster - but I found another major problem: the unit can only read a maximum of 255 files in any folder.

I contacted technical support about this problem. They informed me that this is normal operation of the unit. They also told me that the unit only supports a 2GB SD card maximum. 2GB?! This is a big letdown because I had high hopes placing my entire music collection onto one 8GB card. The unit may read some larger cards, but it is not supported and crashes the unit after a while. I kept getting "DB-ERROR2" when trying to use cards larger than 2GB.

Other notes:

* The remote control is worthless
* Navigation using the wheel is incredibly hard when driving (I'm not kidding, it's almost unusable)
* The sound quality and power is nice (except when using an iPod as the source via USB)
* The sound quality when using an iPod via USB is flat
* The Bluetooth function causes echo for the person you are talking to
* The user interface is nice and clean

Final verdict: Do not buy. The navigation wheel is cumbersome. No support for SD cards larger than 2GB.

This is a great and very well priced little tablet but suffers from two GLARING design flaws.  First, the pen stays active so can cause issues of you frequently put it down and switch to mouse (as you probably will).  A stand or "docking station" to hold it and deactivate it would be great.  Secondly and very annoyingly, the connector cable is both very short (about two feet) and hard to replace as the tablet end has a very narrow connector that is nearly impossible to find elsewhere.  SInce most of use will use this on a desk connected over the back of the desk and down to a floor-placed PC, this is a ridiculous limitation and one that renders the device much more difficult to use.  Truly a shame that Intuous cannot fix this!
