Nice looking, worthless function.

Cable didn't work. Will be returning to Amazon. Absolutely no device was compatible and cable would not transfer data via computer connection.

I live in a large city in Ohio. I used this a couple nights to scan all bands & picked up nothing but local NOAA weather. So I tried again after finding local Hams chatting on a repeater with the stock ant. With the squelch set on 1(lowest). I lost the signal all together. I then used an adapter cable & hooked it to my motorcycle CB band ant.(2 ft.)& was about the same as stock,parked inside the garage. Appearance is nice, function is VERY poor. If I had saved the packaging, I would return it, but the price was so low, it's hardly worth the time & effort.....

 I Would NOT recommend this to anyone.

Disappointing. This is a nice looking watch, but it is definitely just for looks. It's not very functional due to the tiny digital display and weak lighting making it difficult to read. Will be returning.

Very nice looking, however we purchased to be able to close the hooks when not in use. They do not stay closed.
I would not purchase this item.

Aesthetically, this lamp is very pretty. However, functionally, its awful.  First of all the base came unglued from the metal weight it is supposed to be attached to (as another reviewer mentioned also).  Then the lamp, no matter on what surface we put it, leaned to one side or the other.  It looked like the leaning lamp of Pisa!  In addition, because the base is so narrow, it would tip over with the slightest touch.  This became a problem because it is a 'touch lamp'.  The 'touch lamp' would also only function with skin to lamp contact so we would have to bend down to touch the base to turn it on, but the act of touching it (even lightly) would cause the lamp to fall over.  If it wasn't so annoying it would have been hilarious.  Don't buy this unless you intend on gluing it to the floor and using levelers.

This is a great looking mouse, but that is where the advantages end.  I was looking to upgrade my Anywhere Mouse MX but found that every good aspect of the Anywhere Mouse MX was thrown out with this mouse.  No replaceable battery, no USB receiver storage and no storage bag.  If all you want is a nice looking mouse, then go for it.  If you want solid mouse that has true features for portability, then look elsewhere.  I'm sticking with my Anywhere Mouse MX.

This item has  a great look.  Its really nice but the biggest problem is that it drains the phones battery pretty instantly.  This defeats the purpose of even carrying a phone around.  And by the time I started using it and figured that problem out, it is not within the return period.  I was a week off.

This a nice looking piece of garbage.  First, the display is useless except at night, as in it is virtually impossible to read if there is ambient light.  This made it extremely difficult to setup.  Second, the FM transmitter is extremely weak and sounds like crap. Even when there is no station within 2-3 steps in either direction, the sound quality reminds me of AM radio back in the 70's and is riddled with static. But this is not the worst of it.

Since this unit occupies the power outlet, I intended to power the Qi charging holder using the USB Charging port on the Pyle unit. As soon as the phone began to charge, the only thing being transmitted through the car stereo was loud, electronic noise coming through louder than the music had been.  I unplugged the Qi charging holder and connected the charging port directly to the phone itself, but the results were the same.

The only thing that works and it does work reasonably well, is the hands-free, Bluetooth phone feature.  However, I have not yet tested this while the phone is charging, because at this point I don't really care.  I gave up, as this one feature is not enough to warrant keeping this device.

I love the look and of it, thats why I bought it. But after owning this for only a month I was unhappy with my purchase.

The keyboard went first. The lag time everyone talks about is very true. And not just at high typing speeds. It was at normal speeds where I couldn't even type anymore because it would take only half of the letters I pressed. I had to switch back to my old keyboard.

I kept the mouse, but it didn't take long to develop problems just like the keyboard did. The accuracy of the mouse is awful and it also lags -- sometimes where it doesnt work at all.

Don't be fooled by the look - you will surely be disappointed with the functionality after a few months.

These "LOOK" nice but in function they are terrible.  The power button slot for the Note Edge is partially pressed down on one side.  This means that the power button is hard to press and does not always work.  Not to mention the risk of shorting or breaking the power button is possible.  The rubber coating does not stay on the plastic case that is around the phone at all.  As soon as you move the phone, grab it, touch it, the rubber starts pulling away.  Quite sad.  Stay away from these and get a high quality case instead.

My wife picked up one of these at Bed Bath and Beyond.  Pretty much all of the previous reviews are valid.  The item looks good, but is poorly designed.

Pros:
1.  Looks good.
2.  Flexible usage for in sink or out.

Cons:
1.  Utensil container leaks onto counter if placed outside rack on the end as shown, or....if placed on side over sink....the holes are on the wrong side and do not drain at all unless manually lifted....in addition to blocking use of sink.

We used this drain rack for four days and are now returning it.  We found that we were constantly having to wipe water from our countertop.  When the utensil drain was hung over the sink it interfered with our rinsing of any items using that sink.  This item might be more suitable for someone who uses it as an in sink drain.

This is a nice-looking wallet and seems to be well made. However, it is poorly designed:  The area for paper currency is not long enough fto hold bills without folding. If wallet was a scant longer the bills would fit. Not many slots for ID and/or credit cards. I wouldn't buy again.

Looks nice out of the box, but green light is super bright even when dimmed (had to buy dimming strips & put 3 layers on).  The functional usability is what is really annoying. The buttons are smooth on the top (not raised) so good luck trying to figure out how to snooze, reset, or change volume or station when you wake up groggy. Instructions are also poorly written, and how buttons are use seems odd. Will be replacing with a $15 simple alarm clock soon. Ugh...

It does take measurements as per specs (you will need a tripod in some instances), but the functional aspect is ruined by a primitive, 20th Century interface, poorly thought out (and poorly made) buttons, and a substandard LCD screen that looks like something from an early cell phone. Adding insult to injury, the manual is also poorly designed, poorly printed and difficult to use.

Further irritating, not only does the screen look bad, but it becomes completely unreadable if you need view it off axis. Complete junk. I only gave this two stars because it does work and it does take good measurements, if one can tolerate the wretchedly poor interface. Hopefully a real electronics company will eventually build one of these to contemporary standards.

I am returning this overpriced, poor excuse for an electronic device.

Like many components made nowadays, this unit is handsome, but not very functional in design.  The controls are hidden, and are black, just like the entire front.  The tiny symbols on the keys are invisible unless the room is well lighted and the viewer is very close, and the user must be above the level of the player to read the symbols, because they are only on the upward-facing surfaces.
In the dark, nothing at all is operable.  There are not even any distinctive parts which one could feel by touch.  So, all in all, this control set-up must have been designed by modern artists (as of the 1960s), not by engineers with any practical sense; and I guess that alternative designs were never tried out in practice.
There is a remote control (yes, another remote control to clutter your room), but it also does not work in the dark without a flashlight.
I guess that Sony should not be singled out for these failings, because most modern entertainment equipment is similarly designed to look good, but be impossible to use under normal operating conditions (i.e., in a darkened room).  Ultimately, I guess that we tasteless and impractical customers are to blame.
This unit does play, and seems to work well.  Once you get it going, you can then turn down the lights and watch, but be prepared to get up and run around turning on the lights if you wish to operate the controls.

The look of the device is very nice... however it doesn't function at all as a bottle opener.  The catch is too short to grab a hold of the bottle to pop it open.  I have it 2 stars just because it had good detail work and looks nice, but that is about it.  I am very disappointed.

I bought this as part of a laundry room remodel; it's a very small room, so the in-wall re-tractability of this unit was very attractive. Out of the box, however, this unit is garbage. I could tell right away that the face-frame was broken, so I assumed I would just be returning the product as defective, but I also still really wanted the functionality it provided so I took it out of the box so I could see how well it would work in the space. Easier said than done it seems. I couldn't even get the thing to work as intended. The bar that attaches to the ironing board to guide it into the correct position would not attach - b/c the holes didn't line up, and b/c the nut was stripped. Further, the hinges were bent (it looks like one of them was actually bent on purpose), so the whole thing came out at an angle. Add to that, the door hinges kept popping off b/c the screws they provided kept snapping as I screwed them in. Note that I'm a pretty handy guy; I've built everything from kitchen cabinets to rocking chairs, I've leveled and tiled floors, and I built a projection screen using 2X4s and blackout material, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing with this thing. I'm also persistent and wanted this to work, so I replaced all of the hardware (screws, nuts, hinges, and door hinges) and it worked pretty well. So instead of sending it back, I bought some 1 1/2" pine strips and replaced the face frame. All in, I had to spend another $20, 4 labor hours, and 2 trips to Home Depot (had to go back for the door hinges after those wouldn't work), but now it works as I'd hoped so I'm pleased. Can't give it more than 1 star though, b/c no product that cost this much should require immediate replacement of all the hardware just to get it to work. Also of note, this unit is mostly made of MDF covered in a thin white plastic material, so it's not so easy to paint either. Easiest way is to peel off the plastic and paint the MDF, b/c normal latex paint doesn't adhere to the plastic.
