 Samsung - 7.4 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Gas Dryer
Samsung - 7.4 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Gas Dryer
This 7.4 cu. ft. Samsung dryer is big enough for up to three baskets of laundry at once. Save more time with Sensor Dry cycle, which automatically turns off as soon as your clothes are dry and protects your clothes from over drying. Plus, with the convenience of nine cycle presets, you can choose the best setting for every load.

Does a great job drying mixed loads without overdrying. Love the "Sanitize" cycle. It drys quickily and without as much nose as you'd expect.

Efficient and quiet, and the best part is how much can be put into a single load. It's great to be able to put large items, even a king size comforter, and avoid the trip to the laundromat.

I have two of these for quick clean ups and they work great. They've survived considerable abuse and keep working. Not a replacement for the expensive Rainbow vac, but much easier to move around and on stairs when not doing a deep clean.

Picked it up for my son in law who's the only regular coffee drinker in the house. It gets plenty hot, brews good coffee and the compatibility with regular grounds saves a lot of money.
Note, like most single cup machines you don't have enough height to brew directly into oversize mugs. It's not a problem for me, but if you want to brew directly into a travel cup this machine isn't what you need.

Effortless to set up on my WiFi, set up with Google CloudPrint, and the mobile app tools are great, I love being able to scan directly to and from my phone and tablets. Print quality is good, automatic duplex is amazing to have at this price, and even on draft mode the print quality is fine, so ink lasts a long time. Two quibbles. 1) I REALLY wish this had a USB and a SD card slot for direct printing and scanning. 2) It is not a speedy printer. Considering the overall package those quibbles are small. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The website says it's compatible with Xbox 360 but when you get the product the fine print on the box says it needs an extra adapter which, if available anywhere, costs almost $50. Returned and traded for a different headset.

What's great about it: Fast processor, LTE, Large Screen, Battery Life
What's not so great: Nothing
The Motorola Moto G sets a new standard for moderately priced phones with lots of memory, a fast processor, and a high resolution screen. I got an unlocked one for my wife and she liked it so much I got another one for myself.
The regular Moto G has 3G data, doesn't support SD cards and comes with 8 or 16 G of memory built in. The LTE model offers only 8 G but supports SD memory cards to facilitate plenty of media storage.
You expect a name brand phone with good specs to perform well and it does. The LTE is blazing fast (thanks T-Mo) and the battery life is the best I've had in a smart phone. Since I got the unlocked variant there's not a lot of bloatware to mess with. I did install Visual Voicemail and MyAccount, carrier specific apps, from Google Play and they work flawlessly.

What's great about it: Notifications, Easy to wear, light, waterproof
What's not so great: Scant documentation, battery life
I wanted a pedometer that could be worn as a watch - my fitbit zip devices worked fine but too easily ended up in the washing machine. But many of the fitness bands in this price range don't include a watch/display. The Striiv Touch connects to iOS or Android devices (check for OS compatibility) and gives date and time, as well as basic notifications - caller ID, SMS, and calendar notifications.
The pedometer and sleep timers work fine, it's water resistant so working out or showering aren't a risk, and it provides notifications without overwhelming. Note the integration to phone or tablet is pretty basic. It's NOT a smart watch that will take photos, edit information, control the music settings, etc. For me it's a bonus. I can see who's calling or read a brief text without obviously reaching for my phone, and that's enough. There's no killer app yet that (for me) justifies the expense of a full smart watch.
Note, plan on about 4-5 days on a charge. It comes with a special cradle/dock for charging - less convenient than a standard USB port, but better for water resistance - and charges in about 90-120 minutes. That requires a little forethought if you want to capture all of your steps or sleep time.

What's great about it: Responsive touchscreen, low price
What's not so great: Mediocre battery life, low resolution display
Reality check - you can find this on sale for as little as $40, it's not the same thing as a $500 iPad or Transformer. If you need high end performance plan to pay accordingly.
I have a full size tablet I use for work, I wanted something smaller that would fit in a pocket or purse while out socially, at church, etc. to be used mostly for ebooks with the ability to check email or a calendar once in a while. This fits the bill perfectly.
Set up was quick and painless. I don't use the reader it ships with, I installed Kindle, Kobo, Nook, etc. as well as Bible and hymnal apps without incident. I also added a free office suite (it ships with a trial version one of that requires subsequent licensing), Google Drive, etc. Strangely, it does not ship with a contacts manager, I downloaded one from the Play store and it automatically synced without incident.
I added an SD card since it only comes with 4GB, and I run all programs that are SD enabled from SD since it doesn't have a lot of RAM. It's not a speed demon, but it's responsive and reliable.
There are compromises at this price point, of course. The touchscreen is responsive but the resolution is mediocre at best. Battery life is adequate but just barely so. I would pay a little more if I wanted to run heavier apps or wanted to use it as a gaming device. But for my needs it's just fine.
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up

What is the difference between this and a laptop?

If this and a laptop were close in price, is there any advantage to a tablet?
This bridges the line between a tablet and laptop. If you want to play games or need lots of storage space it's not for you, if you need something portable for quick hits it's great. Works fine as a tablet, but much more flexible with the keyboard.

LG - 4.3 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Washer and 8-Cycle Dryer Electric Combo with Steam - White
With steam technology and automatic wrinkle care, this LG WM3997HWA washer and dryer combo helps ensure that dried clothing looks neat and is ready to wear at the end of a cycle. The NeveRust stainless-steel drum offers durability.
 

Do jeans and khakis still come out terribly wrinkled?

We just bought a house with the older model of this, the WM3988HWA. It washes well but the jeans and khakis come out so severely wrinkled that they need to be ironed. Does this newer model have the same issue? We are considering upgrading.
The wrinkles suggest the drum is full - fine for washing, but compromises performance of the dryer. A newer model would suffer the same limitation, dryers work best when the drum is half full or less.
