This Panasonic KX-TGD222N expandable cordless phone system features talking caller ID, which uses text-to-speech technology to announce who's calling from across the room. The digital answering system holds up to 17 minutes of messages.

I specifically chose Panasonic due to the Call Block feature they had on their phones. This model met my requirements and the price was very reasonable. Setting up the phone was fast and easy. It can block up to 60 numbers and adding a number to be blocked is relatively straight forward. It also uses regular size batteries, not those hard to find and expensive battery packs. Only negative is if you mount to wall, the phone sits high in the cradle.

Quality product from OEM

Toner is generally expensive, which is why I purchased a Brother printer. Sometimes ink and toner refills cost as much as the printer. This cartridge was fairly priced and the 10% Rewards discount made it even better, though still pricier than generics, but a premium we pay for quality.

Enjoy a fresh cup of decaffeinated coffee with these K-Cup® Pods that are designed for use with Keurig single-serve brewing machines.

I regularly drink the non-decaf version of this coffee, which I really enjoy. It's a nice house blend, not too strong. I was a bit hesitant whether the decaf would match my expectations, but it did. Great coffee, now I can enjoy in the evenings as well without worrying about caffeine.

This lithium-ion battery is designed to fit or replace batteries in cordless phones from select manufacturers, including AT&T, GE, Panasonic and V-Tech.

It took some work to find the right replacement battery for my old AT&T handset. This one was a perfect fit and the price was very reasonable. It works well and the life seems to be very good as it's now been over a year since replacement.

Good quality and value

I prefer wires to wireless, so with every room wired, I needed a switch with a decent amount of ports. The Netgear ProSafe series has a metal enclosure, a lifetime warranty and just happened to be on sale. It was a simple plug and play setup and everything runs well. It's low profile and seems to run cool. I've tried other switches including Netgear's non ProSafe series, which had a plastic chassis and didn't last much past the one year warranty. I would recommend this switch if you're looking for something that will last.

Nice TV for Guest Room

After looking at a number of 32" 720P sets, chose this one for best picture quality. It looks great and the tuner tunes in all of the unscrambled digital cable stations; actually didn't know that I had that many. The menu is pretty intuitive and out of the box setup was fairly easy. Changed the picture mode to "movie" and after playing around with the settings, went back to the default for movie mode which looked the best for me. Only complaint is that the stand is a bit wobbly, not a good choice for a kids TV unless you have it mounted.
What's great about it: Picture Quality, Good Value
What's not so great: Wobbly Stand, No audio out

This unit has some heft to it and comes in a pretty large box. It was pretty easy to set up. Comes with a small remote that you don't really need. I initially tried searching for a remote code so that I could change the volume on my universal remote but couldn't find one. Then I actually read the manual and saw that the speaker has the ability to learn the code from any remote. In other words, my TV remote could be used to train the sound bar to recognize the signal from it to mute and change volume. How cool is that:) The unit produced really good sound and had decent bass.
However, after a month, it started to make a hissing sound. It was easily fixed by turning the speaker off and back on again but it became annoying. After talking to tech support, looks like it's caused by a change in the signal from changing channels, turning on the cable box or simply jumping between a commercial and the show. I loved the sound but didn't want to put up with the hassle of continuously turning the sound bar off and back on. Back to the store for an exchange.
What's great about it: Sound, works with any TV remote
What's not so great: Speakers hiss
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This Logitech Harmony 915-000194 smart control lets you use your compatible Apple® iPhone®, iPod® touch or iPad® or Android device to control up to 8 components for simple, multifunction use.
does this work with Apple TV?
I use this with my 4th gen Apple TV. It works fine with it but there are some caveats. You cannot hold down the home button to put your Apple TV to sleep. I get around this problem by just setting the Apple TV to sleep after 15 minutes of activity, so I just turn off the TV and sound bar and the Apple TV will turn itself off a little later. Forwarding on shows is slow with this remote. With the Apple TV remote, you can just slide from left to right, but that function is not available, you can only fast forward, which is slower. When you enter search boxes, the input screen is a little different, but I don't have any issues. And last, you can't use voice search since this remote does not have a mic.
