Great price, very handy features

Great price, very handy features, easy to get the mixer on & off the stand, but I find myself holding that burst of speed button down pretty much the whole time, so it may as well not even have a stand---my arm gets just as tired.  Fine & handy if most of what you are doing is cake mix, but I was disappointed on fluffy icing, never mind meringue or getting a gob of eggs thick & yellow-colored for cream puff dough.  I didn't think it looked or felt cheap.

Can't beat the price on this very versatile and reasonably compact card reader! It reads every kind of card that I'm currently using and it hasn't given me any problems at all so far. Cost much less than the Sandisk multicard reader that I replaced after it failed after only a year of very light usage, so I hope this reader lasts longer! I don't know yet how crazy I am about the slide in and slide out feature of the card slots into the housing---it seems like maybe this could be a weak link down the road in terms of reliability, but so far so good! I guess it's designed that way to allow for the USB cord to nest into the housing for transport, but really I'd prefer a smaller footprint with a detachable cord. For the $12 price tag nothing else I could find came close--I just hope it lasts at least a few years.....

I've had my old stereo for over 20 years, but times have changed. I needed something with a USB port, etc.

For the price of this unit, this really is a lot of features. Airplay, USB port to play music with through a thumbdrive, ipod hookup, 5 hook ups to speakers or devices, hdmi ports, optical ports, full control from the remote, etc., and 80 watts per channel.

The remote is confusing at first, but aren't they all? Once you get the hang of it, controlling the unit becomes easier, and the remote can control the radio, the tv, external devices, etc., so it's a very powerful remote control, giving you volume control from your desk or sofa, etc.

This thing is really handy.

Wi-Fi repeater, router, phone-charger, file-server...
Plug into ethernet in hotels, and get off of the clogged-up Wi-Fi everyone else in on.

Runs on the battery for ages ( ran it all day, still showed as full battery ).

Only downside I can think of, is it charges fairly slowly and doesn't seem to fast-charge iOS devices.
But for such a small device it does a lot!

Very handy and easy to use, not overly sensitive in that it did not pick up current in a second hot wire near the one being tested and a great help in rewiring switches and light fixtures, well worth the price for a DIY homeowner

Overall, I was impressed with this unit.  In a compact rugged form, it has many of the features I would have expected from a much more expensive enterprise unit.  And, these features can be easily configured via the included admin web interface or using the command line.  I am going to focus upon the web interface.

NOTE: Included in the box are a quickstart manual, 3 international power cables, a rack mount bracket. No ethernet cables or console port cable were included. You need to go to the startech website to download the manual.

To admin the unit, connect an Ethernet cable to any port (not the console port) and setup your PC to be 192.168.2.x with a net mask of 255.255.255.0 where x is not equal to 1.  The default login is admin with a blank password.  This can be changed once you access the unit the first time.

Once you are logged in, the first thing to change is to disable the ability to use telnet for admin activities.  To alter this, open menus underneath Configuration until you locate Authentication Method Configuration.  Then, select None from the telnet dropdown and click the Save button.

One thing that impressed me was that this unit has context sensitive help.  The help button is on the right-most top.

The only thing I did not appreciate about the unit was that the menu kept jumping back to the top of the webpage every time you open an item.  This was a little aggravating when you were down in the Monitor section which is towards the bottom of the menus.  Not a deal breaker, but just a little clunky.

The true advantages were the enterprise features:

1. Ability to setup jumbo frames, on a per port basis.
2. Ability to setup LACP, so that you can aggregate the bandwidth of ports together.
3. Ability to enable loop protection.
4. Ability to IPv4 or IPv6 ping without having to drop to the command line.
5. Ability to mirror port traffic (inbound, outbound, or both) to a mirror port.  Great for debugging!
6. Ability to enable MAC port security, on a per port basis.
7. Ability to define VLANs and VLAN tagging, on a per port basis.

We have some fiber channel cards I pulled out of some old servers.  So, Im excited to test the SFP ports later in the week, once I get the card in the server and configured.  The managed switch also had some other nice features such as the ability to dim the LED brightness and the ability to define multiple admin accounts (and also limit their admin access to only certain functions or monitoring).

I purchased this new for $60 through Amazon and am amazed at how many features it has for this price.  It can print color and B&W, scan color/BW from scanner bed or stack of papers, copy both color and B&W from scanner bed or stack of papers, and fax from both options. On top of everything else it is wireless. The print speed is good and the quality is very acceptable.  I had no problems with setup or software (as opposed to some of the other reviewers).  It does seem to be using the ink provided quickly, but I ordered an OEM XL cartridge for it for $20 which should last several times as long.  I have only had it a month so there may be some issues that come up, but so far I am very pleased with this machine---especially considering the price.  I have spent that much just buying a set of ink cartridges for my last printer.

Excellent value;  It has all of the features I wanted at a very reasonable price.

Couldn't be easier to use. Great mix of features usually found only in more expensive switching equipment (like VLAN support), super easy to install wherever/however needed. The metal chassis on the 16-port version feels particularly solid and no doubt helps keep the unit cool. The 8-port model has very convenient USB charging ports, a nice bonus feature for a professional workstation or home office. Both models are solidly constructed, and for the price, both are a steal.

This has been a handy addition to our computer collection.  We have a central desktop, several laptops and tablets.  I wanted something I could set up in the kitchen for handy use with one of our extra monitors and this has really done the trick.  I don't use it as a main computer, but it is much nicer than fiddling with or finding other, more mobile, devices when I want to look at pictures, weather, or recipes.  This Acer is snappy and I have no qualms about the keyboard.  The keys are fairly low-profile (but not as low as those on a laptop).  The mouse is standard issue.  I just really love how tiny this is and how neat it is to use on a countertop in a busy area.  For those who enjoy a tidy environment but don't have their houses wired in super modern fashion, this is great!

Very cool product with great features (for the price). The only feature I wish this thing had was the ability to rotate the screen view so you don't have to look sideways at the screen (pretty common feature on several other versions of this). Outside of that, this tool will probably not see a great deal of use, but a great thing to have in the tool cart.

I'm really impressed with the features packed into this recorder, for such a reasonable price. Maybe my favorite feature so far is the 4 separate folders. The recorder is pretty intuitive to use. I did read the user's manual, but only had to go through it once and then the first time I used the recorder (a couple days later) I had no trouble figuring out how to do what I needed.

The quality seems really good. It feels durable. The buttons have a good feel to them. The screen is easy to read. It's able to pick up sounds from across the room. The playback is clear.

I'm really pleased with this purchase and have already found more uses for it than I originally planned. Oh yeah, and I don't expect to ever fill up the full 1GB of memory!

A very nice device with lots of features. I particularly liked the motion detector, which works well. Also, the unit can be turned on and off to save battery life by simply "pushing" the top. You cannot go wrong for the price and the bad guys won't be able to tell the difference!

Great Value, very intuitive for someone like myself who is not so tech savvy.
