I hated it at first because it's so slippery like in any moment it fell off my grip.  But I've been using this 4month now, and got a little dirty and there is no more slipperiness. I'm very comfortable holding it. Just keep using it and it will grow on you.

Pretty damn good pedal for the first bit. Very sturdy casing. First impressions are great with a smooth, lower voiced wah with a surprisingly nice sweep. Slightly more bass than a standard GCB95 Cry Baby, but never gets as muddy as the Dunlop does in the heel position. The volume side is great as well, not as slow of a sweep as many full sized pedals, but that's to be expected and it does a great job for those looking to start playing more ambient stuff! No tone sucking either! That being said, right out of the box, both of the input jack sockets felt loose and I'd often need to press it right up against another pedal on the board to avoid the patch cables coming out. A month after purchasing it, I noticed a subtle crackling in the upper sweep of the wah. Two weeks later and that crackling has only gotten louder and worse, now enveloping the entire sweep with the unpleasant crackle of a bad pot. I suspect this would be an easy fix for knowledgable pedal tinkerers, but it's something that needs to be addressed.  For the price I payed, I really can't complain too much as the volume side works just fine, but, as many other users have reported, the wah side has an expiration date of sorts.

I hated this thing at first, but once you get used to it, its good.  It is a pain in the butt to figure out and get used to, mainly because im a stubborn fool.  I have a Big Green Egg (Which if you don't have, save some money and get it, you will never go back to whatever you use now) and do a lot of overnight smoke sessions.  And I live in Chicago, so in the winter going outside to check temps sucks.  When this thing is working, it rules.  I put one probe in the meat and one probe in the big green egg and all I have to do is walk to the kitchen to see my temps.  No more going outside in January in my slumber thong.  But it took me awhile to figure out the exact spot it has to go to in the kitchen, which is literally 10 feet away from the smoker and only has 1 wall/window barrier-and it still loses the signal sometimes.

Pros:
Still accurate to the degree after moderately heavy use
If wrapped in plastic baggie it can weather any weather (But can and will blow away and it bad winds)
When working, it saves my big ass a trip down 3 stairs
Held up to a lot of abuse over moderately heavy use (wrap foil around part of probe cable that will be in grill/smoker
Battery still going strong after moderately heavy use

Cons:
Range sucks
Will occasionally lose contact with the transmitter, only to reconnect randomly later
Will sometimes lose contact and never reconnect-which sucks for long over night cooks
I wish it had a setting so if the temp dropped below X degrees an alarm would sound

At the end of the day if you keep it close, protected from the weather and know how to use it - this unit will work great about 80% of the time.  I just make sure I check my meat every few hours anyway so that fixes that problem.  The bottom line is it is not perfect, but works well (just not all the time!)

Originally I absolutely loved this band and gave out plenty of recommendations for it. I still think a pretty good band, but only for dry activities and not a lot of heavy use. I have pretty small wrists, but the small was still adjustable enough to work for me and I loved how adjustable it was, especially for rapid adjustments.  The magnet was also holding really well. I took it swimming (in the pool) quite a few times to make sure it did not come loose and it never did.  I then ventured with it into the ocean and for a couple times had no issues.  But, then, and luckily this was while I was on a boat not while in the water, I found the flaw in the band.  Where the band connects to the metal end that then has the screw hole that then connects to the watch is the flaw.  One day it just fell out and I almost lost my watch.  I had only had the band for a couple months, but I am very active (hence why I have a waterproof watch) so likely put a bit more wear and tear on things than some.  I imagine it was the water that wore down whatever glue was keeping those to pieces together.  I super glued it back in and kept it out of water and it held for a couple weeks, but then comes out again.  If the connection stronger, wrapped around the screws for example, would make this a perfect band.  I am hesitant to buy another as not the cheapest and I would just use this for when I want the better looking band, as this is a much better look for office, but switching the bands is actually a bit of a pain if having to do too often. If you just want the nice look and great adjustability and don't plan to take this in the water, or put a lot of pressure on the band when carrying heavy things that could sit on your watch, then you will likely be okay.

When I first received this, I hated it.  No matter how I shifted it around, it just wasn't comfortable.  I pretty much gave up on it and was about to return it, and then I read the description of the product again and saw the "ventilation gap for genitals" part and realized I was sitting on it completely wrong.  I was sitting way too far forward.  It seems weird at first, but the back of your butt should be hanging off of the pad.  Once I realized this, I'm super happy with how comfortable it is.  It's basically perfect just so long as you sit on it correctly.

I actually love this phone.  It was to replace the BB q5 (one of the keys were sticking) so I thought I would get a more sturdy one.  Fairly heavy but loved the size and the keyboard.  Shame it is not android, but did not really miss it as all that stuff I would do on my computer.  Phone for me is more for using as a phone.  A bit of 'surfing' at times.  The utility belt was a real plus.  Unfortunately, after a few weeks it started freezing and gradually got worse.  Did all the usual of restarting and factory resetting.  A real pain.  Sadly, had to send it back.  I really did consider getting another.  But this was my 3rd BB which has gone wrong on me in less than a year.  I love their phones as I absolutely hate virtual keyboards.  Who knows, when one of my kids loses or breaks their phone, I will give them my touchscreen and get another BB!

This Panini pan is beautiful, and I love the idea of it, but after a couple initial uses I was so frustrated, the trash seemed a likely final resting place. Stubbornly I was determined to find a solution for each problem I encountered. Here are the steps that solved my problems. Heating the pan slowly on a setting no higher than medium for about 10 minutes is essential. The lid also needs to be brought up to temperature, so keep it in the pan while heating. Before heating I brush the entire pan, top and bottom, with oil - one that can withstand heat, like canola, sunflower, soy or peanut oil. Much as I love olive oil it simply smoked too much for this purpose.

Realize that even with the top heated, it will not leave decent grill marks on the top side of the sandwich. The panini must be flipped over half-way through cooking to get grill marks on both sides. I found that the drier the bread, the better the result. Moisture causes it to stick to the grill, even if the pan is well oiled. Stale or at least day old bread works well, and I've had more luck with foccacia bread or whole grain than white (sourdough, French or Italian.) Breads with more body and texture cause less sticking problems.

Finally, clean-up can be frustrating. I tried soaking for 30 minutes in warm water but the hard bits on the grill pan didn't budge. What did work for me was heating the pan on low with a small amount of butter or oil. That seemed to loosen the cooked on bits. Wipe clean once the pan cools down but is still warm.

The pan is cast iron and it gets hot and holds that heat both on the pan handle and the lid knob, so be sure to use hot pads or silicone mitts, etc. I have had no problems with the enamel portion of the pan - no chipping or marks or stains of any kind - after six months of use it remains shiny and gorgeous. I rate the pan four stars instead of five simply because of the care that must be taken to obtain a good result. I love the pan and it is a welcome tool in my kitchen.

I was dissapointed at first. But then I called the company,and they told me to return it. I did, and now I love it.

If you get this tablet, immediately get it a case. You can't really set it down on a desk in front of you and use it because the screen colours will have drastically changed. You can read, but anything else is a drag. I can hold it in my hand for a few minutes, but after that you really notice the weight and that's distracting. I haven't gotten a case yet (i'm in Mexico, that impedes such acquisitions) but i have solved my woes a few times by propping it up one way or another, and then it becomes a pleasure to use. The screen looks great, and i adore my freedom to play my rapidly growing collection of awesome high-def games, or read for hours without eye strain, a sore neck, or the clumsy bulk of books. Get a case with stand functions.
A case would also solve the issue of accidentally setting off the buttons on the bottom menu and the home button. There is really not a lot of grip area before your thumb is on the screen. That can be really annoying when you are in the middle of something and suddenly you are on the home screen.
I find the touchscreen a little glitchy, more so around the edges. As i've gotten used to it i have had fewer problems getting it to respond on the first try, though. I almost never notice lag. It picks up our wi-fi network fine through a couple of walls and even on the roof deck.
Some important apps could be better - i await the chance to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich, which from what i've read so far would help. Main gripes: videos on the browser or magazine apps tend to not load, or if you pause them they freeze and you have to start over. Flash games will almost never work, so thank god the selection on Android Market is quickly improving. I wish i could do all the things in Google Maps i can do on my desktop. The speech to text app is completely useless, but i don't have a bluetooth headset. Does that help a lot? Because otherwise i'm not interested in getting one.
You will need to husband battery time. There are apps in the market to shut off wi-fi whenever it isn't needed, and usually i will shut it off completely myself from a shortcut i put on my homescreen if i plan on reading for a while, to extend the juice. Even so, i don't get more than 5 or 6 hours. Best tactic in my book is to mini-charge it frequently. My charger is at my desk, where i am too most of the time (home office) so i just plug it in for 10 min to a half hour 2 to 3 times a day. It is never fully charged, and never close to empty - which is good for the battery, by the way.

This may sound like a long list of minor gripes, so why do i give it 4 stars? The size works wonderfully for me, nice for my small hands and easy to carry. I have really had very few software issues -  it's fast, almost never hangs, and can do a lot of multitasking. Cheaper 7 inch tablets don't have its hardware muscle, which i expect to make ever more difference as time goes on and i want to add more demanding apps, and i multitask with it ever more, which will happen. Ice Cream Sandwich is going to fix most of the things i don't like about the current apps and i expect it to be ready for my model in a couple of months. In fact, there is a good chance it will fix the battery issue - tablet batteries don't run out because the battery is cheap, they run out because the hardware wasn't well configured to run efficiently with the software it uses. More expensive 7 inchers don't have any better guts than this one, and i really don't care about 50 grams less weight, or whatever. That only means your hand will get tired in 8 minutes instead of 7. You still need a case, therefore. And thickness? This tablet is at the limit of how thin something can be before i feel like i might drop it. So, just right.

This has become a love/hate relationship.  It has many features that I really like.  It also throws me off even after a couple of months.  I will most likely order a more standard keyboard.  I will try and find a conventional keyboard with some of the features available on this one

Loved it at first. But after a few months now it is acting a little glitchy. Right now, it syncs perfectly fine with my husbands phone but will not play my music or my sisters.

Editing review:  I LOVED it at first (see below) but that faded in a few weeks of use.  It was constantly connecting/disconnecting when well inside range, causing the alarm to go off.  Then it randomly stopped reconnecting with NO WARNING.  So when I actually needed the device to find my lost items THAT is when I find out it hasn't been connected for hours, days, or weeks.  Even the "show me last connected location" feature is useless if it has been disconnected while in range of your phone and just RANDOMLY dropped off at some unknown point in the last few hours.

Now, a few months in, and they have stopped working entirely.  Of the 4 pack I got 2 are now not working, one I gave to a friend, and one is still unopened.  That's a 50% failure rate SO FAR.

I absolutely love this product.  I've put one on my car keys, one on my work keys, and one on my wallet.  I've saved so much time hunting for them.  I like the peace of mind it gives me.  It was very easy to set up and the unit is so lightweight I don't notice it, even on the work keys I wear on a lanyard around my neck.

The one thing I would caution about - when my keys are on the completely opposite side of the house from my phone sometimes it will go in and out of bluetooth range.  This results in the phone thinking I'm walking away leaving my keys.  It will squawk the fairly loud alarm - even at 2 am when I've got my phone on 'silent' and 'do not disturb'.  Easily avoided by not having your keys on the edge of the range before you go to bed.

My original review is below.  It has been 10 months, but over the last 4 this has become increasingly erratic.  If you touch the volume control on the device the amp sends a electronic static through the speakers, and will not stop.  So I set the volume and just use paired device.  Recently the output volume started to fade in and out.  From low to high, ALL the time.  So it is impossible to use.  Bought it April 5th 2016.  Have used it probably 25 -30 times total.  When it was new, I loved it.  Now that it's used, I'm throwing it away.  I recommend looking elsewhere.

This thing is magic.  I have it outside on a shelf by the pool attached to two Polk indoor outdoor speakers.  It's loud, clear, and stunning.  Punches way above its weight.  I was using a jam box, this is a different league.  This is a kin to my stereo inside, a 200 watt Dennon on two Polk LXi 7's with a big sound dynamics sub,  which I am considering replacing with one of these, to lose the heat and the size of the big receiver.  Which is so yesterday.  :)

I bought this device a year ago when I upgraded to an android phone and started playing my music through my car speakers using it. I never liked dividing my attention away from the road/wheel to look at my device to hit send and with the recent Android updates, the lockscreen's music controls have gotten so microscopic, this exercise became even more dangerous so I looked into a bluetooth device that I could control without having to divert my eyes.

I bought this, my first ever bluetooth remote and for the first few months it connected effortlessly and worked like a charm. All I really needed from it was to skip tracks, pause when needed and adjust the volume, a task this thing did effortlessly despite not being able to rewind tracks (Technically you could do this using the direction bottoms on the bottom, but requires a bit more effort and wasn't available when the phone was locked) it was a very handy tool that I took everywhere.

Had it continued to work like it did, this would have definitely been a 5 star product, but now I've got to go into the reason I took two stars off, connectivity issues. When I first got it, it worked quite fine, connected whenever I needed it to and despite forgetting to turn it off (switch at the back) at certain times, the battery lasted for months and the thing worked flawlessly. Now I used this everyday, so it saw hundreds of button presses, most noticeably the "Skip" button, so when that started to act up, I didn't feel anyway about it, I just made an concerted effort to press it down a bit harder or mash it to the point where the rubber or whatever underneath got back into place and it worked quite fine.....then it started disconnecting from my phone. Alot.

Now I figured this was because the battery was dying, seeing as to how I had it now for months without ever changing. So when I did change the battery and started to use it again, it worked fine for a few days....then it started disconnecting all the time and re-connecting when it felt like it on it's own and no matter how many times I manually reconnected it to my phone, it would disconnect, fresh battery and all. I've given up on it and while I feel like I should give another one of these a chance since It's simple to use and cheap, I honestly don't want to be back here again feeling tempted to go back to my old and dangerous ways before I got this. Looks like I'm not the only one that has the same problem with this and I'm appreciative that mine lasted as long as it did. So...buy with caution.

I had originally bought around two years ago and was absolutely in love with it for the first year.  Sure it ran slow at moments while using it to take notes, but I wasn't too overly irritated with that fact.  Going into the second year I used it mostly for my books in my classes so I could buy those cheaper.  This past year I had been having issues with it keeping charge and found myself needing to constantly charge it while using it.

Then one day while trying to use it to study for my final, the tablet decided not to turn on.  I looked up the issue and found that there are many users with this problem where the light is green while charging though it will not turn on.  I figured it to be a motherboard issue, and I could easily take it somewhere to fix, but why mess with a tablet I've been having issues with?  I do not want to put more money into this tablet than I already have since I already spent too much money on it in the first place, due to getting it around the time it was released.

I had issues where my apps will force close on me and I will loose recordings and notes from my classes.  Most items I have last five or more years, not two years.  I will join the many others in tossing this tablet aside and hope that my next one won't crap out after two years of gentle usage.
