Great unit, great quality!

Two things to keep in mind - this canopy is heavy. And when packed back in it's carry case, it's much longer than other canopies. Aside from that this canopy is much higher quality than any I've used before. The carry bag is durable and large enough to easily put the canopy back inside with the fabric still attached to the frame. It has several inside pockets to store stakes and anchor lines. The wheels are steel and much better than the cheap plastic ones found on other bags. The canopy frame is heavy duty with center trusses that span from the middle of each side to the center support. This is important because most canopies fail in the wind when the outside trusses collapse in the middle due to lack of support. The canopy height had three adjustment from high to very high with the lowest being higher than I would normally like. I added more holes at the 20" and 24" mark of each leg and now have height settings that I prefer.

The canopy fabric is roughly twice as thick as standard canopies (300D versus 150D) and is properly reinforced. Set up is very easy with two people once you learn to push up on the corners as you pull them out from each other. Dismantling is even easier, only taking a couple of minutes for one person to release the upper corner of each leg and pull down on the center as the outside corners come inwards. Putting this canopy back in the storage back without removing the fabric from the frame is very easy.

I bought this canopy after an earlier one collapsed in a rainstorm. The frame simply collapsed on one side from lack of structural support. Measurements are good for straight leg canopies because this 10x10 canopy is a true 10x10 at the top while others are measured at the bottom with the legs spread out, losing at least 2 feet over advertised size.

I had compared this to EZ-UP and others, which I had earlier experiences with.  This canopy cost nearly twice that of some of the bargain specials, but the quality of materials and cover are very superior. I anticipate it lasting much, much longer than any of those.

And yes, it IS heavier....and longer....than the basic units, but that's reflected in the quality of the unit and the carry case.  It does take at least 2 people to set up (4 is even faster!), but the center pole is removable to get the top on, then is easily installed once the corners are in place.  It's a slightly different procedure than for the basic units, but it's a real battleship once up.....and the latches click into place very simply and cleanly, as well as being very easy to release to lower the canopy.

We expect to use this for quite a few years!

I have had this Head unit for about a month now.  I installed it the night I got it, and though, In a 2008 Charger, you need to do some modifications the the car to get it to fit, They are worth the time.  The unit is easy to use, Easy to understand, and very intuitive for even novice users.  The screen responds well and quickly to touch, the Menu Items are self explanatory.  The Quality of Playback is Awesome...I watched Watchmen to test it out....GReat Unit, my iPhone plugged right into the USB and I was listening to all of my music almost instantaneously.  I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a Double-din replacement.

I've had this unit for a few days now and can't express how happy I am with my purchase. Does everything its meant to do with average quality and performance which is more than you could ask for at this price. No hiccups whatsoever during installation and use.

Like everything else I've purchased from American Audio, I am very pleased with its high quality, sturdiness, simplicity, and useful features.  USB functionality is nice, but that will be mainly for backup since I am still a "disc" jockey.  Hopefully, it will last many years as my old Denon did.  This unit is definitely worth the asking price.

I needed to replace a broken disposal, and found a recommendation for this model in my searches. I have used this unit for a few months now, and couldn't be more pleased with the results. First, the installation was a snap. I was blown away at how simply this goes together compared to the unit I was removing. Certainly worth any extra cost compared to similarly priced units. In use, the unit is quieter than the one I replaced and seems to me more effective. I have not had a single issue. As noted in the documentation, there will be a noticeable noise at the very initial start that could raise an eyebrow if you don't expect it.

I love it! Price was 449.00 the day I bought it and went down 50.00 the very next day! I called Amazon and they credited me the 50.00 right away! Then it went right back up to 449.00! So far the unit is amazing. The automatice speaker calibration is incredible and accurate, I have never heard our speakers sound so good! We put in Top Gun after initial set up and all I can say os WOW! The jets were screaming around the room! Wireless hook up is easy with the additional purchase of a router, which I think should have come with the unit. I picked up a Netgear at Wall-Mart for 49.00. There is a lot to learn for sure, the manual I printed from the disc is 131 pages large. Switching from TV to Blue Ray to Radio and back is so simple. I replaced a 12 year old unit that had no HDMI inputs, so it is quite an upgrade for us. Connected to our 73" Mitsubishi makes for an incredible experience everytime we turn it on. I highly recommend this unit for the price!

Great unit right out of the box! Possibly the best unit at this price point. Quiet, and adds just as much coloration as you need to the audio signal.  With no coloration it is a useful tool, adding a some more character  helped my signal to blossom with a warm analog bouquet.  So far I have only used it on bass, but plan to try it on guitar as well. In terms of the build quality, I would have to say the knobs and switches suffered a bit which surprises me at this price. They feel fairly cheap , but are quiet so not a deal breaker, may upgrade them later.

We purchased this unit a few months ago and it has been a great unit.  The water taste is outstanding which made my wife extremely happy since she had never used one before.  We also purchased the high flow upgrade kit and it really made a big difference.  The installation went like clockwork thanks to the well written and clear instructions.  The unit cost more than some of the others we looked at but after researching different options, APEC came up to the top of the list due to quality every time.  Highly recommended product!

For playing MP3's this is the best unit I have found. Sound quality is awesome! And even though I bought this unit (I bought one for my daughter as well) 2 years ago, it continues to impress me. Yes, the user interface isn't as flashy as an ipod, but it works and the unit is rugged. I love the fact that if the battery ever goes bad I don't have to send it in for service or throw it away, I just replace a standard AAA battery, normal or rechargable. Also, I just upgraded my unit to a 4GB SD card. It works great!! Now it holds over 80 hours of music. I haven't tried an 8GB SD Card but I wouldn't be surprised if it works as well.

My favorite features are:

1. Awesome sound quality!!

2. Rugged, lightweight unit, reliable!! (never had single problem with two differnt units purchased.

3. Not locked into a built-in proprietary battery that could go bad.

4. Expandable like crazy. Now using 4GB SD card and I can have multiple cards that hold more music preloaded if I want. It takes just about 30 seconds to swap SD cards.

Only downside is small display.
