Overall design/efficiency

Congratulations to the Dans on their contribution to the homeowner
DIY community of wind energy enthusiasts.  The information they
provide goes far in aiding the decision as to whether or not to
pursue wind as a source for electrical energy on a small scale.
.
I would like to have seen more engineering data supplied but it
is also apparent that working with what they had available and
with the lack of really informative information generally, their
accomplishment is quite remarkable and must be appreciated for all
the work involved to get where they did.
.
One point, in particular, which needs some clarification is why
their generator windings lack any form of iron core.  The obvious
advantage is a reduction in required torque when starting, especially
valuable with low wind speeds; but doesn't this also make the
generating efficiency much lower than it would be with iron cores?

Received and assembled last night. My review is based on personal experience with the item. That does not mean it would or wouldn't cater for each individual need/want. For me, it lacked some things that should've been "standard." The following review is not intended to offend anyone especially the seller/company but hoping to provide feedback.

CONTENT
Mine came with 2 drain board, microfiber mat, 3 cup holder, cutting board, utensil, knife attachments, top shelf and holders. All included as stated.

CONSTRUCTION
The durability is definitely there. Its very sturdy for what it's designed to be used for.

INSTALLATION/ASSEMBLY
I've read some reviews implying it took them quite some time but it takes about 2 minutes to put it together. Only reason it may take time is if you're undecided as to how you want to assemble for personal preference.

SIZE
I think its a perfect size. It's not too big or small for any kitchen table top.

PERSONAL OPINION
I personally believe the concept was well thought providing all the accessories/attachments. However, it was rather poorly designed. First it lacks some type of rubberized foot to prevent from any possible slipping or scratching of surface.

One of the drain tray I received was warped which made water collect on the corners. I had to bend so it wasn't warped but this will take number of attempts until the plastic is warped no more. The suggested angle for the drip tray isn't really "that" angled as shown in the included card. At least not enough for the water to flow down easily. It's very possible mine lacked that ability due to the warping.

I decided to attach rubber feet on all four legs and raise one side higher for better water drainage. I don't have the best crafting skills but it'll do for now. (Please don't judge me on my work lol)

I think the drip trays are a bit short. It would've been better it was a little longer and somehow wider. It barely reaches the one end to the other, just enough for water drainage holes from the utensil attachment. If I were to use the cup holder attachments, cutting board holder, and/or knife holder, the drip tray isn't wide enough. Only way to catch dripping water from these attachments is by utilizing the included microfiber mat. The cup holder can be attached so that the cups will be "hanging" from inside but that wastes dish space. Call me lazy but I prefer not using a cloth-type mat for catching excessive water dripping down. It just creates more work; having to wash the cloth occasionally (since I don't believe the the mat is anti-microbial microfiber, otherwise it would have stated such info). Same idea goes for the drip tray that doesn't have a open spout; need to remove and empty water out. I like to eliminate any unnecessary work. And besides, this was suppose to be "fully customizable" but somehow lacks that.

Side Note: Those who may not know.... Hand washing and drying microfiber materials prolongs the fabric. Machine wash or dry damages the fabric. If using machine dry, use a laundry net and never use fabric softener and heat. Tumble dry low.

The 3 separate cup holder is made of very strong plastic. Honestly, I think a little too strong. Because its tapered, any cup will not sit all the way down. It sits roughly about half an inch up from bottom of holder.

I wish the utensil holder was a little deeper. I'm having to "lay down" the utensils than having them "stand up."

Again, this is all just based on personal preference. :)

My laptop recently crashed and I decided to revamp my desktop for maximum efficiency and aesthetics. Let's face it you want your work environment to look good, but not at the expense of effective result driven equipment.  I read every single review on Amazon while mulling the purchase price -- a bit pricey for a keyboard.  I have owned an older version of the logitech wireless variety (keyboard/mouse) combination, but found them a bit too clunky and the direct sight issue was annoying.  I purchased the diNovo hoping it would provide good connection to my PC, using older USB ports, I thought this may be a problem.  I have owned it now for 2 weeks -- I can only rave about the keyboard response time and program functions available.  The aesthetic design has also made it easier to type and feels less stressful on my wrists and hands.  What is the logic behind the risers on keyboards anyway, they only appear to pronate your wrists into uncomfortable positions.  The mouse pad is good for maneuverability, but I recommend getting the package deal on Amazon (good price).  The engineering on the diNovo was a bit off placing the mouse click on the left side of the keyboard and the mouse pads on the right (not intuitive) -but no major drawback, as I see it.  The battery life is phenomenal, two weeks out of the box after in initial charge and the screen indicator still reads full.  By the way it is even cooler looking than the pictures give it credit.  I coupled it with the MX Revolution cordless lazer mouse and HP W1907, 19 inch monitor, and my home-office is as inviting as it gets.  My 5 year old desk top just got a 2007 face-lift, and moreover this pseudo-dynausoaur is humming along because of it.

This is a great idea for compact bathrooms and as a mechanical engineer I love the concept.  The idea functions great.  You toss your clothes into the hamper, when it starts to get full you set your laundry basket on the ground just below the hamper.  Unzip the bottom zipper and out falls the clothes into your laundry basket.
I have my concerns about the long-term reliability of the hamper though.  It's easy to load this hamper up with a fairly heavy load.  This puts alot of stress on the top corner loops which I suspect will likely be the first failure mode.
Beyond creating a more robust design, a few design issues I would address to really improve the design are to drill some holes in the brackets so that they can be screwed into the top of the door.  Out of the box the brackets simply hang over the door.  When the hamper gets jostled or it's load get heavy the brackets will slide towards each other.  This allows the hamper to take on more thickness as it is loaded with clothing or towels.  Holes in the bracket would allow the brackets to be fixed which will help the hamper hold its shape better.
The hamper is more attractive with the zipper on the back side where it cannot be seen, but putting the zipper on the same size as the laundry hole would really ease the use of this hamper.  With the current design, the zipper is hidden, so you cannot see what is going on and you are more likely to have zipper issues because you cannot see what is going on.  Install the zipper on the laundry hole size and now you can easily open the zipper, and address any zipper snags or hang-ups.
Yes there is room for improvement, but I like this hamper, and I will likely buy more for my kids rooms.

Very well designed, with practicality in mind. Execution not that great with lots of room for improvement. Looks sturdy and durable though

This looked like a great design, so I decided to try it out. I find it to do a good job of dehumidifying the air, to be quiet in operation, and to have nice design features.

The design looks fairly bulky, but is actually only about 6 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep at the middle, and about 12 inches tall. I like the overall design, which has a modern flair to it. Use is exceptionally simple. It comes with a very small power adapter that you plug into the wall, then into the device. Push the red button and it starts - but you will barely know it is on. There is a very slight sound, but it is very unobtrusive and fades into the background quickly. There is a blue indicator light to let you know it is working, which turns red when the water tank is full (using a float switch that is simple and effective). How long it lasts before needing to emptied will depend on your particular humidity levels. I found that the power adapter does get a bit warm, but so far it has worked fine.

The rest of the details are on the product page, but I will mention two that I particularly like:

+ The intake area does not get clogged with dust. That is a great relief to me, because our house does get a bit dusty.

+ The red indicator is really well thought out - not only does it notify you to empty the tank, it also turns off the device. That makes for both good convenience and for good safety.

The only problem I had was that the water tank is a bit difficult to remove until you get the hang of it. The first time I removed it I had to dig out the instructions to make sure there wasn't something missing. But no, it is just a bit balky, and simply has to be pulled out with some determination.

Summary: A very nice looking and functioning design. Highly recommended.

Please note that I received this free of charge, so I could review it.

Very good design although there are small details to improve, I think the product is at a good price

the fan is pretty efficient. it would be nicer id a larger fan was available, or it here was one that moved more air. Overall, good & I would recommend.

Good design. Solid item for the money. 12 times a day is a bit much for our needs with our cat. But it's nice to have so many options. The slow feed option is great as well. The power adaptor should be included with the item in my opinion. Batteries work ok, but for this price I expect the power adaptor as well. They really really need to simplify the set up and design of the buttons. I have to read the manual every time I want to change anything about the schedule, etc.

Good efficient design, easy assembly. Not a major style statement but clean plain look. Great considering the price, Good solution when you've lost track of the original stand that came with your TV.

I used this power outlet on a conference room table as there were always a  multitude of devices that needed to be plugged in from various angles. The overall shape and design was a night fit for the table and it provided a better solution than a long skinny power strip or keeping things underneath the table.

The only two things that I think could be improved from a design perspective were related to the plugs and the power button (middle circle).
The power button felt like it would stick a bit in either the on or off position sometimes making it difficult to know if it was on or off. It was also a little different sticking your hand in the middle of cords to turn it on or off. I think a more traditional power button on the side that had an indicator light would be better.

I love this unit, but it has some flaws. I use it exclusively to shred leaves for top dressing gardens. The biggest problem is the bag doesn't last as long as the unit and buying the correct replacement is pricey. They should use a tougher canvas that isn't as porous. I love that it is very efficient and would work great on a normal sized suburban lot. My property is huge, but I can't find a lighter weight unit that shreds as efficiently. I'm on my 4th one (over the past 10 years) because the impellers wear out with the heavy usage it gets on my property. This newer design shreds even better than before, but it jams more quickly especially on large piles of leaves that are wet on the bottom. Despite those issues, I obviously still love this unit because I keep replacing it with the same one.

Functional and practical, overall great product.

I hope in the future the design will improve (4 star reason).
As others have stated, pieces fly in the case.
But no fails yet

I wanted a no-frills fairly compact case for relatively little money to replace my larger case.  The standoffs was stamped in, which is something I wasn't used to, but it explains why I didn't get too many brass standoffs included, and the included pinned standoff, makes it easier to secure the motherboard.  So in terms of the standoff, thoughtful design, probably a slightly more expensive design.  Due to the motherboard (Asus P5K) and CPU cooler (Zalman CNPS9500), the top corner screw, couldn't use it.  The included rear fan also gets in the way.

The tool-less mounting of drives: sort of works.  But, used the tried and true method of using screws.

It's a small case, so wiring of the SATA, power cables, etc can get clustered up in the area, which gets in the way of the front case fan (Antec Tricool Blue) I installed (more like reused from my old case).

With it powered up, I get a decent 107 degree F (42 degrees C) internal case temperature and it is whisper quiet.
