Surprised at how happy I am, especially after several negative reviews.

This radio is reviewed on Amazon several times, but most are under the Red Cross version's listing, even though this is exactly the same radio.  I read several negative reviews prior to buying this item.  Well, as it turns out I think this is a nice little unit.  I would describe the sound overall as good.  Maybe I'll amend this review in the future, but I'm happy with the features, design & performance.

Opening the battery cover and connecting the battery was just that simple, and it has remained securely closed.  Maybe the design has been modified because that procedure has gotten a lot of negative feedback, but I can't see any reason there would be a problem.  The cellphone charging cord & several connectors (let's be honest...we're never going to use this) were included, and my Sanyo phone is covered.

This is a light, inexpensive case.  The tuner seems fine.  Here in NYC I've had no trouble tuning in the various AM & FM stations that I like.  This is not a high-end indestructable radio.  I think this is a good, relatively solidly built & designed radio that can be used every day.  I charged it over night with the included adapter.  It's brought me a few ballgames over the past few days without needing a charge (I'm just going to let it drain completely once to complete a battery cycle).  I like this little radio very much.

Great value and to be honest so much better than I expected!

I ordered this AND THEN checked the reviews... my heart sank that I might have wasted my money and I kicked myself for not checking first!

It arrived yesterday and I set it up in my cubicle today. I'm really really happy with this product! I think they've listened to some of the reviews because mine was shipped flat in a specially-taped cardboard sleeve. No folds, no ripples. Perfect right out of the box.

Great price, arrived quickly. Aesthetically I would have preferred sharp over rounded corners BUT round corners don't become dog-eared/curled over time, so I know it's the best option to keep it looking new as long as possible. It exceeded my expectations based on price and other reviews.

perfectly happy on every level... only reason it's not 5 stars is because it's not Bose-comparable - that said, I'm lovin it nonetheless

Very happy with this purchase and especially the price. Read the reviews and was a bit skeptical. But, when I actually used it, I must say I was truly surprised and happy.

Admittedly, people don't appreciate 'complaining' by people who have little to complain about, but the vehemence of the anger in the lower star reviews is striking.  I don't remember coming across any other Amazon book reviews that elicited this much negativity.  Regardless of the value of the book, these emotions are a reflection of the reviewers' own issues spilling out.  Expressing a negative opinion is one thing, expressing it with anger or disgust is quite another - revealing much about the reviewer.  I hope the authors don't take the emotion to heart.  Keep writing Ann!

I did have a hard time getting through the last third of the book as it became more and more apparent that these women have plenty of money, plenty of health, plenty of opportunity, the kind of family bonding that is unusual these days, and very likely have not had to overcome significant childhood abuse in order to figure out how to be happy and successful in life.  This is the very reason I went to Amazon to check the reviews - to see how others commented on this.  Like I said, Wow - did they!

But still, I appreciated the book for its simplicity, for the exposure to Greece and Greek mythology - especially Demeter and Persephone, for its basic spirituality.  It definitely made me reflect on my grief in regards to my relationship with my mother - definitely not a Demeter, and it made me reflect on my joy that my relationships with my 5 grown children (especially my daughter) is nearly ideal.  I also very much appreciated the info and perspectives on Mary.

I'm surprised at the bad reviews.  I'm glad I didn't listen to any of them.  I think it's nice.

I was a little skeptical about this purchase but Amazon offers potential buyers a chance to ask questions
about items they are thinking about purchasing. I got 2 positive responses and pulled the trigger on the Duplicator.
To say that I am pleased is an understatement. I almost expected it to fail and was ready for that but after copying
my hard drive which took less than 30 min. I plugged it into my computer...which booted up quickly but
hour glassed for 5 minutes with no signs of stopping so I did a hard shut down and started it back up again.
This time it was not loading all of my start menu items so after another hard shut down I started it up in safe mode,
everything loaded up fast so I resized my partition to utilize my new larger copied drive and now all is well.
My windows theme changed which made things seem "not right" but after I changed it back everything feels normal.
My old HD is now a perfect backup just in case.
No more cloning, mirroring, etc. etc. - This is one impressive piece of electronic gadgetry.

I really wish I could write a review telling everyone how happy and impressed I am with this monitor and the decision I made when buying this "Certified Refurbished" display. I may have made a few mistakes that could have prevented this review today.
First, I could have decided that I didn't want to wait a full week and have just bought a monitor that was listed on Prime.
Second, I could have bought new and I would have eliminated the risk of receiving a box that was in good condition with no apparent shipping damage, while housing a monitor that's screen inspires me to oil paint neon butterflies on a broken glass backdrop. Seriously, it's like I'm at some kind of dubstep jam party with my own light show of pink, purple, red, blue, green and yellow lines, just no music. bummer.
Third, I could have decided that I didn't want to wait a full week and have just bought a monitor that was listed on Prime.
Four. I could have just not written a review entirely and returned the item. Except as someone who makes tech review videos on youtube and always gives feedback on Amazon, it would feel wrong not to give true criticism when it is due. I mean, come on, look at the photos.
