This is a great seat. Solid hardware and construction- very well built. Doesn't shift or flex at all once installed.

The biggest problem, as others have noted, is there is a design flaw. The cover doesn't fold back far enough, and prevents the seat from staying up. This makes for a mess in any public or commercial mens room. There is a simple fix, which involves cutting or grinding notches in the back of the cover so it doesn't hit the hinges, but it's a pain none-the-less. Toto is famous for quality restroom/bathroom products- and this is disappointing.

I upped my stars because these really are well-built commercial seats, and I was unable to find anything better that met my company's needs. We ended up adding the notches in the back of the seats, which fixed the problem. Took a handyman with a roto-tool a few minutes a seat, plus cleanup. I tried posting a picture, but I don't know if Amazon will get around to adding it.

So- until Toto (hopefully) fixes it- great product with minor modifications.

The Polk I-Sonic is really an amazing product.

For the money it produces some extremely satisfying sound.

Very deep clean bass that can be tuned to make it tighter.

Smooth lush highs and some formidable dynamics.

Essentially being an audiophile myself I can say that as a small room stand alone unit the I-sonic does it all.

It is also a very attractive unit and looks great on my 24" high dedicated Target Audio stand.

But sadly there is a big flaw in this system that prevents it from getting the full 5 stars. I would have given it 3 stars but the sound is really that good.

The flaw is that the I-Sonic has a very, very poor display and control interface.

I have 20/15 corrected vision, but from 6 feet away I can not even see the tracks or remaining time on a CD!

Also if I want to access the radio presets you don't press a preset button like you would in a car, no you have to access a tree menu and go through several submenus to find the radio station you saved.

Duh, it's so slow that it is almost faster to just tune the station by hand!

This is the way it is for all the settings. They are lost in a maze of dim, low contrast LCD numbers.

A person should not have to enter a menu that can not be seen from 6 feet away in order to flip the display between time and radio station or to choose any other features.

The credit card sized remote is small and it is very hard to press the flat stiff buttons.

Basically the display and controls are very, very poor but the sound is great.

The unit also gets very hot even when it is turned off.

Also when the unit is playing at very low volume you can hear the CD or DVD clicking as it spins.

Technically this is a 3 star review but because the sound is that good I feel compelled to bump it up to 4 stars.

But the user interface, LCD display and dumb remote all make what should be a perfect product a very frustrating exercise in high end sound.

If you are just going to sit there and only listen to one station all the time and put in the occasional CD and listen to it straight through then this is the unit for you.

But if you are a radio or CD channel surfer then forget it, you will be cut off from this activity unless you put down the silly remote and put your mug right up to the low contrast display and manually press the buttons.

But this really defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Oh and one other thing, the manual is terrible!

You can figure things out from it but they really make you work!

I recommend it but Polk needs to revamp the control interface and display.

No LCD! Use LED's like every other CD and DVD player!

The product was fantastic, except it had one flaw: the edges on the inside were incredibly sharp. I even cut myself. Having bought this item for incredibly small fish, I couldn't help but wonder if the fish might cut themselves too. The problem was easily corrected with a dremel tool. Aside from the additional work, it's a lovely piece for my 200 gallon planted aquarium!

I love this keyboard. My only issue with it is that the media buttons cannot be used one handed, since placing your thumb on the Fn key means you can't comfortably press F6 onwards.

However, my main reason for writing this review was that the keyboard I originally got (and its first replacement) had the same defect: pressing the leftmost side of the spacebar would occasionally leave the spacebar on an angle, with further presses to that side of the spacebar causing it to wobble instead of actuating the key. While pressing the right side of the spacebar would temporarily fix this, it was extremely annoying. Thankfully my second replacement worked fine, but the fact that I saw multiple keyboards with this issue means that it's most likely not an uncommon one. This can be easily reproduced on faulty keyboards by repeatedly tapping the leftmost side of the spacebar for about 10-15 seconds. I suggest the Das team add it to their quality control program.

I would like to tell everyone about the one flaw that makes this a 4 instead of a 5 star product. Aside from this one flaw, everything works great and its very convenient!

The flaw is the water spigot that spits out the hot water into the coffee filter is not designed so well. Or perhaps the cup that holds the filter is not designed well.

What happens every single time when I make coffee is the water flowing out of the spigot hits the side of the filter, and folds it down into itself. This results with the water+coffee grounds overflowing out of the filter and through the hole into the coffee pot, leaving you with tons of ground coffee bits in your coffee. NO BUENO!

The solution to this, is I wet the edge of the coffee filter and fold it under the section of the filter holder where the spigot arm moves across. This section is slightly lower than the rest of the filter holder, so you can fold the edge of the filter over it without losing too much of its height so that the filter is not lifted too much from the bottom.

This usually prevents the rest of the filter from folding in on itself when the water hits the side, because now the filter is stuck to that section and won't fold into itself.

Hopefully that tip helps everyone who purchases that machine, because its very annoying to have ground coffee bits in your coffee!

I love this product and would give it 4.5 stars if possible. The main way I use this is to connect it to my smartphone through Bluetooth an listen to online music services.

It has one design flaw: the entire unit is matte black and on the top are six buttons with symbols for forward, back, etc.  The symbols, however, are very difficult to discern unless you hold the unit in a certain light. It shouldn't be so hard to see these.

Recommendation: 1. improve the buttons; 2. I would have been willing to pay a little extra if there were a remote to mute it and turn volume up and down without using the buttons on the unit itself.

I've used it for about two weeks and the sound is great and it connects easily to nearby Bluetooth devices. I would buy it again.

Very good job.

Great case, terrific design, however it had one major flaw... The plastic casing on the inside that holds the phone is only attached by some mediocre glue. In less than a week, the back started to peel off and I had to re-glue it. Overall, not a big deal, I just used some gorilla glue and it works great. I've been using wallet cases for my phone since the BookBook came out, and this case is far superior in quality and design, and cheaper !!

Generally I love this tripod - the monopod conversion is fast and convenient, and it's great for wandering around busy places without having a large tripod footprint.

One complaint I have though, is that a gasket that was in the main shaft's telescoping area came out and made my life a living hell for like 10 minutes in the middle of a shoot, I couldn't reliably shift the center column and so I had to spend that time fixing my tripod instead of getting the shots I needed.

otherwise, great buy.

I really like this product except for one glaring error. All the flaps that cover the different buttons and the decorative ones on the sides and back don't seal properly and they keep popping out. It's annoying to hold it and feel the flap be disengaged. I really like the prop to stand it up because it works for both directions and you can change the position and it stays. Everything else is great.

I love the mug.  It's good quality material and looks authentic.  There's even a nice rubber grip that is actually a rubber grip and not fake at all.  I fooled a friend with this when he thought for sure I was going to ruin a $350 lens by putting it in the microwave.  :)  But there is a flaw that should be fixed.  The very nice top DOES NOT ATTACH.  Yep, it just sits there on top and can come off any time.  In fact, it's rather loose.  There is only a small plastic ring that fits down into the cup that does not screw on, nor does it have a rubber pressure fitting that makes it stay.  It's just there, easy to knock off.

But I still think it was worth the money because of the other features.

This is a brilliant recording, with fantastic performances top to bottom, but the discs are poorly manufactured.  I returned my first two copies because they had multiple defects the first time I played them.  The third copy Amazon sent me played perfectly the first two times through.  But when I played it several months later, all three discs had spots that froze up or distorted.  And then, of course, it was too late to ask for a replacement.  The one advantage to purchasing this item is that doing so enables you to download it as an MP3 file, so now I pipe it through my stereo speakers via a laptop.  If you're prepared to do that, buy this--the performance is a classic.  But don't expect the discs to hold up.

Could be five star, except for one major design flaw.

This is an excellent laser. It is very bright, has a very secure mounting system, and I have had no problems with the pressure switch.

Here's the thing: the very first time I fired my shotgun with it mounted, it stopped working. I disassembled to try and find out why, and found the problem:

The laser diode is only floating in the aluminum housing. With the recoil of the shotgun, the housing drove backwards and the diode slid forwards in the housing just enough to lose contact with the battery.

This would be a five-star product for sure if the diode was a little more secure in the housing to take the recoil.

I am going to try to figure a way to rig it, hopefully I can as the rest of it is great. If I can, I'll update this to 5 stars. If not, BUYER BEWARE.

This product is almost perfect...  The quality of all the parts is top notch and everything is very well built.  My main problem is the design of their mounting system.  Basically you drill a 1 inch hole wherever you want to mount this, and then insert the whole thing, starting with the cable into the hole from the front and once seated, you screw down the outer ring.  Screwing down this ring compresses a rubber sleeve over the part you inserted into the hole, causing it to expand and "lock" the whole thing in place.  Overall, a very clever system where you don't have to feed anything through the whole from behind and can do all the work on the front side of the hole.  The problem comes in when you are installing this in a piece of thin material like a steel plate.  Without any real thickness of material to grab onto you can't really get things tight enough to stay in place and not move.  If you were drilling into something that was maybe 1/4 inch or more, I think you would be fine, but 1/8 or 1/16 plate doesn't really work very well.  I ended up feeding the socket through the rear of the hole in my case, discarding part of the cover, and then using the lock ring in a more traditional way to clamp things through the hole.  This works pretty well, but since the lock ring is meant to compress the rubber sleeve, it still does that and you can't really tighten it up quite as much as I would like.  Ideally I'd love to see them come out with a model that was meant to clamp on the surface it is mounted to from the front and back in addition to this model.  I can see where this model would be perfect in many situations, but not quite for me.

This is a fantastic product with one major flaw
.. . After receiving it last week from Amazon. I was immediately impressed with the design details. This saw does need some minor tweeking. But after doing so. It's dead on accurate. I do have one complaint. My saw also has chips and scratches out of the box. AND it was not from shipping. As the box was Un damaged when it arrived. The table finish is NOT durable. I noticed that it chips off with little to no effort. And it's because of this reason I'm giving it only 2 stars. This to me is a obvious defect in materials or a quality control issue. And though it's only cosmetic. This finish should hold up to far more abuse than me just running my finger nail over the top surface. I have already thrown the box out. So shipping it back is not an option. And it's doubtful to me that the next unit would be free from the same issue. Aluminum is notoriously difficult to paint. Powder couting is more durable. But if the aluminum is not prepared perfectly. The coating will not have good adhesion. Which is obviously the case here. I believe Amazon or Dewalt should either find a fix for this issue. Or compensate the people that are having problems with the finish on their saws. After all.. This is by far the most expensive portable saw on the market. Next only to the SawStop. Other than that one issue. I love the saw. Fix the paint.. And it would be perfect.

I love this mount. It works great, looks awesome, and generally performs it's job excellently. My single issue, is with the thumbscrew used at the swivel part of the swivel mount.

The way I had this mounted, was attached to an overhead arm. The arm came down from above, and the shockmount hung from the connection on the bottom of the arm. The thumbscrew was then loosened, the mount rotated 90 degrees, and re-tightened.

For those of you with Blue Yeti Mics, you know how heavy they are. The thumbscrew was just not strong enough to hold it up, fighting gravity, at a 90 degree angle to the thread mount with just hand tightening. I frequently found myself re-tightening it with a pair of pliers because it would come loose and sag. Well, obviously, you can guess what happened next. The Thumbscrew broke where the thumb part meets the threads. The Thumbscrew Itself is made via MIM, so it's not that strong, and will break easily if you go anywhere over 'hand tight'. I knew this would eventually happen as soon as I saw how I had to mount it, and what metal it was made of.

I'm not concerned, I'm just going to go to my local hardware store and buy a new thumbscrew, made of stainless steel, to put in it's place. Add in a couple lock washers as well, and once I get that baby tightened down how I want it, it should never move again.

This was a great rack to have, but it did have a fundamental flaw in certain aspects.

I live in an apartment with steel trusses, and the hooks provided are not stable to hold onto them, even with anchors. It took some creativity, and someone experienced in woodworking, to get mine to stay secure. Even then, I have to make sure I don't strain a particular corner much.

That aside, it is a great rack that looks modern, and clean, and holds all of my pots and pans. The top rack isn't as accessible as I'd like, due to my placement over the kitchen sink and, thusly, not something I can put low enough to use the rack.
