What's great about it: Quiet, cleans everything very well
What's not so great: Nothing
This is my second Samsung stainless steel lined dishwasher. I moved and had to leave the other one behind, reluctantly. This new one is a fabulous machine. It cleans very well and I can hardly tell when it's on. The controls are easy to use. All in all, a great dishwasher.
This product is... So quiet I can?'t hear, Designed to save time and water, Well-matched to my appliances, Easy to load adjustable racks, Useful settings or cycles, Able to deliver spotless dishes, Great at drying dishes
About me... Looking for energy savings, Budget Conscious, occasional user

What's great about it: I like the adjustable lg./small cooking elements on the top. Easy to use controls.
What's not so great: Pricey for a very plain stove
I needed a new stove for my new home. Did not want to spend a fortune. This stove is adequate. It does what it's supposed to do and nothing more. The adjustable cooking elements on the top are great because most of the time I don't need a large element. The oven is adequate, the dials are easy to read and use. It's a basic, no frills stove. Seems all stoves have gotten very expensive lately and this one was pricey. Nothing special but it works fine, so far.
This product is or has... Large oven window, High-powered burners, Easy to use controls

What's great about it: It washes, it dries, it's very quiet and quick.
What's not so great: It makes awful noises, gurgles and creaks and grinds and hums. Does not have a choice for a second rinse.
I did not want this type of combo machine but didn't have space for a side by side. It is very hard to get things in and out of the washing machine tub. There is little room between the door and the tub. It has very few choices for the laundry cycles and the drying cycles. The washing machine top locks on some cycles so I can't check anything and it stops agitating if I open the top for any reason on other cycles. The dryer seems to work just fine. Small lint trap and when it stops and I open the door, the dry laundry flies out. So far I have not had any problems (like other reviewers have mentioned) but I've only been using it for 2 weeks. It makes sounds I have never heard any machine make. I have no way of knowing if this is normal or not. On one cycle switch, it grinds and jerks. Maybe time for a service checkup?? It is very pricey for such small capacities. I only own this machine because I have to.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Apple® - iPad® 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G - 32GB (Verizon Wireless) - Black
The thin and light design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

What's great about it: Picture quality, speed
What's not so great: Syncing with PC
I have never owned a tablet before! Not even a smart phone. So this iPad2 is a totally new experience for me. I'm doing pretty well learning how to use it. I especially like the G3 option because it allows me to go online virtually anywhere. My only criticism is syncing with my PC. I suspect the iPad2 would sync better with a Mac. So far I am very happy with my purchase.
This product is... A nice compact size, Great screen size

What's great about it: Beautiful stainless steel appliance
What's not so great: The high pitch whine when it turns on
I am still trying to adjust to this appliance. It has a high pitched whine when it's running that is really annoying. I had a tech look at it, check it out, and he said the noise is normal for this refrigerator. I am also not used to the configuration of the bottom mount freezer and there are no door shelves in the freezer compartment so the little things that I used to keep on the freezer door get lost in the freezer area. The refrigerator part is also a strange configuration for me. It seems to be cooling and freezing as it's supposed to so the operation of the appliance is satisfactory. But the whine is hard to get used to as is the new style configuration of shelves.
I would recommend this to a friend!
