What's great about it: great price, easy set up
What's not so great: NOTHING
I am doing computer graphic work and was looking for a product that would let me create houses and landscapes to use in my photos. Most products are very pricey and rightly so they do a lot of things. This product did all the same things for less than half the price of the others. It takes a little getting used to but after my first house it became much easier. It even comes with some premade houses. I would recomend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This has a ton of choices to make up a room but you have to do too many steps prior to getting to the desisn portion. I've used other programs that were much simpler to navigate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Helps give you some floor plan ideas.
What's not so great: To much work...
I have worked with computers for many years. I bought this product to get some ideas on a kitchen remodel. Although it wasnt easy to do, it does do the job. I spent several hours doing just one room and that was using the default cabinets, floors, ect.. If you want to change those you have to do each cabinet seperately, I cant imagine doing all that work. Also had trouble splitting the floors into two sections. It has mostly ended up being a floor plan. A little bit of buyers remorse here...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Very details and a lot of options, allows you to really see the plan
What's not so great: may be difficult for people that don't understand graphics software in general
This software is great! I found that using it takes a little time to figure out but it comes with a giant book. There are tons of options for cabinets and countertops. I already use adobe products and so digging through menus to figure out how to do things is no big deal. Considering the price of the software it really is an excellent package. The most important thing is that it is letting me see what I think I can do with real measurements. That is the reason I purchased it, and it has been GREAT
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to install
What's not so great: Complicated and restrictive
I purchased this to help remodel my kitchen which has some unusual dimensions and angles. It is very difficult to get the software to do what I want, and sometimes impossible. It took me a long time to find (I had to download additional libraries of appliances) something simple and universal as an under counter dishwasher. Once I put in the dishwasher, I cant put a counter over it! The software does give lots of options with lots of restrictions. It gets very frustrating to work within it's limitations on what it's designers thought we (the consumer) would want it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: NOTHING
What's not so great: A LOT !!!!
My experience with this HGTV software is so bad I will never buy any HGTV product.
It constantly crashes or just goes blank. If you get lucky and actually create a simple diagram do not expect it to print. all it prints are blank pages or Microsoft shuts it down becasue of errors. this happens on both my XP sp3 and Windows 7 computers.
I have 25 years experience working on computers and this product is TERRIBLE. It seems to me that HGTV has no quality controls or concern for customer satisfaction. this product should be pulled from the shelves.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
