Great sound & feel | Solid build

This guitar had a great sound and feel. Just received it and only played for a bit, but the electronics and controls allowed quite a bit of control of the sound.
The picture is a bit misleading however. The colors are quite a bit lighter than pictured - in both the body and the neck. The maple on the Through Neck is basically yellow and the body is a light brown. The hardware is a matte gold finish, which makes the guitar look even lighter in color.
It's a beautiful guitar, but if you are looking for something a bit more classic, this may not be the one for you.

FAST, in more ways than one

Upgraded to the Ea-9500 for the speed and WiFi coverage capabilities. Added bonus was the built in 8 LAN outputs (to connect a: My Cloud / NAS, desktop pc, and all of the connected home devices, with a port or two to spare for a laptop when needed moving large data).
The wireless is super fast and provides great coverage with strong signal throughout main living area. I paired it with a LinkSys Re7000 repeater to provide seamless coverage in the basement where signal wasn't as strong.
Setup was a breeze, very intuitive and well thought through setup guides.
It is a bit large compared to other routers, so I put mine on an elevated stand to maintain desk top space.
I haven't needed to utilize the device prioritization feature, although the app makes that quick and easy if/when I do.
Using the WiFi to stream 4K content on both a smart TV (via Netflix and Vudu); and on a Roku Ultra . The devices are about 50' away from router haven't encountered the dreaded buffering circle.
If you want fast WiFi, this router will not let you down.

Solid build, elegant display, QUIET operation!
on May 26, 2015
Posted by: TekToyJunkie

Rating is based on the unit being only one day old and I haven't yet 'tested' all of the neat features KitchenAid has promised in this Microwave/Convection oven combo unit.
I purchased this Over the Range (OTR) microwave as a replacement to a high-end Electrolux OTR.
I installed the unit myself and the installation was straightforward with clear instructions (note: I've installed many OTR's, if you haven't installed one before, I suggest having it done by a pro).
The digital display is super elegant - way cleaner text on the display than most appliances.
The killer thing about this microwave is how quiet it is. The door closes quietly (even when the kids 'slam' the door like kids can be known to do), the microwave cooking operation is SUPER quiet, and the exhaust fan (mine is set up to be vented internally) is significantly quieter than my old unit. This unit has a six speed fan, and on high it is about 50% quieter than the old unit on high.
The halogen cook-top lights are bright, centered both front-to-back and left-to-right which effectively illuminates the entire cook-top with no shadows like my old unit (it had the light very near to the front of the cook-top casting shadows to pots on the rear burners).
After installing I did the 'amount of time to boil a cup of water' and it performed fantastically - about two and a half minutes.
I am looking forward to testing out the Popcorn setting. I think I read somewhere before purchasing (maybe KitchenAid website?) that it monitors the popping sound to determine when the popcorn is done (amazing technology if that's actually the case - and exactly what the micro-popcorn package instructions tell you to do).
A few other features I'm looking forward to using are the convection oven (cooks like a regular oven, so one more oven with additional space for prepping holiday meals!) and the Steamer function (which will hopefully allow me to free up some cabinet space by replacing my stand-alone steamer).
Overall, this seems like a really solidly built unit, with quiet operation, and lots of nifty cooking solutions.

Keep your kitchen smelling fresh with this Whirlpool WMH31017AW over-the-range microwave that features a 2-speed, 220 cfm fan and hidden vent to help keep your cooking space clean. The 1.7 cu. ft. capacity accommodates a wide range of food items.
 

need a stainless steel microwave that can be mounted over the range and vented outside

I've installed a number of Stainless Steel OTR's from various manufacturers (Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Electrolux, KitchenAid) and all of them were shipped with the ability to be set up to either vent internally or externally.
I've not yet run across a situation where I had to replace an OTR that was externally exhausted, so I can not advise on what is entailed with modifications, or extra parts that may be needed, to adapt to an existing external vent.
