Sometimes you just need a simple 2-channel stereo amp. For those times, this Insignia does a great job. It's easy to set up, it comes with a surprisingly good manual, it sounds good, and Bluetooth works well. Really, you can't go wrong with this little guy.

I bought this because my old antenna couldn't get a signal on a local HD channel that broadcasts on the VHF band. The Clearstream 2V comes with a VHF dipole, which is the horizontal crossbar across the top of the reflector grid. Also, my old antenna had a 40-mile range, and I was hoping that the 60-mile range of this model would improve reception on the UHF channels as well.
I rated this four stars because it mostly worked out. The VHF antenna did indeed pull in my 'missing' channel. However, the signal strength on the UHF channels was no better than what I got from my older, less powerful antenna. I still have problems with digital breakup when there is even minor rain -- no worse than the old antenna, but no better, and the 2V cost twice as much as the old one.
With all that said -- the Clearstream 2V is well-made, and the instructions were brief but useful. It was easy to assemble and mount, and it did solve my VHF problem. If you live in an area that has HD channels in the VHF band, I'd recommend the 2V. If all of your channels are in the UHF band, there are cheaper antennas that will work just as well.

Overall, this vacuum works well. The suction is good, and it's effective on both carpet and bare floors. It comes with a good set of accessories, including a mini beater bar cleaner and a long, flat bar for cleaning under appliances. The vacuum part detaches from the base to make a light weight handheld portable that's handy for stairs or the car.
It's a solid 4 1/4 stars. Here's what keeps if from being 5 stars: (1) it feels kind of flimsy. Nothing has broken yet, but it just doesn't feel really solid. (2) The dirt catcher bin is very small. You have to empty it after every use; in a larger house, you might have to empty it halfway through. (3) The latches on the dirt bin are fiddly; they don't latch as tightly as they should.
So far, it's good for the price.

What's great about it: Fast; good print quality
What's not so great: Sometimes it drops off the network; expensive toner
This is a good low-end laser printer. It's pretty light on features for the price (no display, no wired networking) but it gets the job done. The print quality is superb, and the first-page-out time is pretty fast.
Some reviews have mentioned that the printer was hard to set up, but I didn't have any trouble. I followed the steps in the quick start guide and had it up and running on my wireless network in just a couple of minutes.
One problem, though: if I don't print for a few days, it drops off the network and will not wake up from standby. When this happens, I have to hard-reset it (unplug and re-plug the power cord). When it powers back up, it does remember the network configuration; I don't have to set it up again from scratch. However, having to hard-reset the printer is annoying. (I only have it on WiFi, so I don't know if it does this when it's connected by USB.)

What's great about it: Almost full-size keyboard
What's not so great: no angle adjustment
I got this free on a promo with a Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2. It's a nice-feeling keyboard, but it's not worth over $100. The main thing I disliked was the fact that the tablet can only sit at one angle. The screen was too upright to use comfortably on a table or desk, and it made my neck hurt. It was also hard to position the screen to avoid reflections. I exchanged this and the Tab Pro 12.2 for a tab Pro 10.1.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Fast, screen, lots of RAM
What's not so great: Heavy, big, non-standard charger
This is a great tablet, IF you don't mind the size. I wanted a big tab so I could read music PDFs on screen. I tried it in the store, but the demo unit was on a retractable tether so I didn't realize just how heavy it was. Every time I picked it up at home, I thought, "man, this thing is huge."
I'm giving it a high rating because it really is a nice tablet. With 3GB RAM, everything runs super-smoothly, and it has an enormous battery. I loved everything about it but the bulk. Since I also wanted portability, I chose to give up full-size PDF reading and exchanged this for the Tab Pro 10.1.

What's great about it: Screen, performance
This is my first tablet, but not my first Android product; I also have a GS4. The Tab Pro is better than I expected, and I expected it to be good. The screen is tack sharp. Reading is a much better experience on this than on my phone (which also has an excellent screen). Performance is very good, and Samsung bundles a lot of extra software that you can optionally install via their app store.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, Variety of apps available, Easy to navigate, Comfortable to hold
