Panasonic Wireless Network Camera and Pet Cam (BL-C20A) Review

Compact, very easy to set up and the image is sharp and clear. Free DDNS service makes this the best buy. I have another camera, Linksys, and I had to pay for this service. I defitely will drop it when it comes up for renewal. No more Linksys camera for me!
After a few days of use..I still love it! I just found out that I can access the camera with my Mac via Firefox browser. This alone beats all other cameras in the market! Set up the motion detector to email pictures is a breeze. You can also set the camera to periodically send a picture, motion or not. The only thing that you could say it is less than the Linksys is it could not send a video. Linksys video only lasts 30 seconds anyway. Highly recommended.
8/21/08: I have 2 of these cameras and the first one (3 yrs old) just failed. It is just not powered up doesn't matter how many times I tried. I guess it is expected. It has been reliably in service for 3 yrs. I will buy it again, when Amazon has a good deal.
The camera's software works flawlessly in Mac OS. I regularly access my camera via Safari web browser. This alone beats most other camera out there. You can get to it from either Windows or Mac. I set it up to email the jpeg to my Blackberry and view the picture there. Could not figure out how to do this on an iPod though.
3/20/09: When the 2nd camera failed, I thought the power supply was the culprit. I bought a $15 power supply from W**T and guess what? It works again. So I now both of my cameras work again! If your camera failed, likely it is the power supply!
Also, I can access my cameras from my iPod touch (live) using the supplied Safari browser when I have a wifi connection. COOL!!

Larson Manufacturing Co EZ100093984 Ez100 Ultra-breeze Retractable Screen Door Review

Larson Manufacturing Co EZ100093984 Ez100 Ultra-breeze Retractable Screen Door
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this screen door sitting in my garage for three years while my house was getting remodeled. Finally I installed this door, all the parts were there and in perfect condition, since it was still in the original box, just to note that.
We choose the outside mount installation method for the single screen. The issue we faced was on step #14 of the instructions, it instructed to drill 3/8" holes using the 1/8" as guides through the bottom rail so that we could secure it. By doing so the track was completely useless to run the door in, it took us 8 hours to deburr it and it STILL catches on the burrs and screws and is almost unusable now. We need a new bottom track to replace the one that was damaged by the faulty instructions. Even with a new track it is unknown how we are going to be able to complete the installation with the method that is described in the instructions. It would be easier if the bottom piece was the same height as the top rail piece or if the installation method called for drilling DOWN instead of through the side right through the tracks of the door.

When I took it out of the box I thought it would be too big on my wall. Turned out, I could've gotten it bigger (not the fault of the product mind you, I just have big walls). It comes in 4 peices that you have to stick onto the wall and it wasn't an easy task. The main peice is huge and I had to cut it in order to place it on my wall. Yes, it was a pain to put up but once done, the effect is stunning. You can't help but stare at it. I will be ordering more, because it just looks cool as heck.

Velux TMR-1000-014 Impact Dome TMR 14" Rigid Sun Tunnel Skylight with Pitched Flashing Review

Velux TMR-1000-014 Impact Dome TMR 14 Rigid Sun Tunnel Skylight with Pitched Flashing
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had this installed in my house.
The tunnel itself is a flexible foil tube with a coil running through it. You have to wonder how sturdy it is and how long it will last. If you use your attic, you might hit and puncture the thing.
On mine, the tube separated from the dome. I am waiting to have the installers come out and fix it.
The lens that goes in your ceiling is a nice two layer acryllic circle with an airgap for insulation. It has a nice flange around the outside and looks fairly nice in the ceiling.
I would estimate that in the winter, the light is about equivelant to a 75 to 100 watt light bulb. It has a blueish tint to it, like a flourescent light. Of course, the amount of light you get out of it will depend upon many factors, like how long the tube is and where the dome faces.
You can get a nice little light kit to install inside of it, so at night you can use it as a ceiling light. The 32 Watt flourescent is about the same as the day time light.

Lifetime 60001 8-by-10-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed Review

Lifetime 60001 8-by-10-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We needed a shed to move our yard equipment and some storage boxes out of the garage. This shed fits the purpose admirably. Features that attracted us wer 1) two sets of doors, sky lights, and vinyl construction.
I wanted the two sets of doors to maximize use of the storage area. I have all the lawn equipment (lawn mower, pressure washer, wheel barrow, and garden tools) spread across the end with the doors. This allows me to have access to all the equipment just by opening the doors and I do not have to leave a path through them to get to the other side of the shed. The side entry doors allow me to enter that end. The skylights and windows let in natural light and provide plenty of illumination. The vinyl construction was key as I did not want to worry about maintenance of wood or metal in our Florida weather. One feature I wasn't aware of but like is that the doors actually latch together. The left door has stops at the top and bottom which help lock it into place while the right door handle has a latching feature which allows it to latch to the left hand door (both sets).
The instructions were very detailed. As others point out there are a couple of key items (doors) which you need to pay attention to when doing the construction. I received the boxes on a Tuesday (two large 8 ft long boxes totaling 560 lbs) with plans of erecting the shed on the weekend. After looking at the instructions I discovered there were several sections where sub assemblies could be put together ahead of time (trusses, door handles, skylights). I put these together by myself during the week so that when my son-in-law came on Saturday, all we would have to do is put up the shed. The hardware (in most cases) for a particular step is actually packaged together in smaller plastic bags. This made it very easy to do some of the steps. As others have noted, the markings on the plastic bags do not match the item descriptions in the instructions so it takes some time to figure out which bag of parts (especially if there is only screws and washers in the bag) go with which step. However, all of the major assemblies (door handles) were easy to distinguish. There were no issues on quantity of screws, etc.
Once the subassemblies were put together and the flooring assembled (also done prior to putting up shed) it took my son-in-law and I about 3 1/2 hours to put the shed up. I had a concrete slab poured specifically for the shed so did not have any leveling issues. Nothing was too difficult and since most steps are repetitive, once you do it the first time, the rest go a lot faster.
One issue with parts. The end doors use two 79 inch hinge poles and the side doors use 74 inch hinge poles. The set I received had four 74 inch poles and no 79 inch poles. I called the customer service number on the back of the instruction guide, explained the situation to the rep and Lifetime shipped to two poles to me immediately. I called on Thursday and received the two poles on Tuesday.
To get 5 stars I would recommend the markings on the parts bags or instruction manual be be updated to accurately reference each other. Also, some more time should be spent when picking the parts for boxing. This would have caught the hinge pole issue. Plus, there was a duplicate bag of parts for one section which was not needed.
The shed has been in use for a couple of weeks now with no problems.

Ladder-Max Stand-off Stabilizer Review

Ladder-Max Stand-off Stabilizer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For years I've had no choice but to rest my extension ladder against the gutters in order to clean them out. This certainly hasn't been very kind to the gutters themselves; but more importantly, I've always feared that the ladder could slip and I would fall to the ground with it. And that hasn't been a very comforting thought.
Last November I hired someone to clean the leaves from the gutters that had accumulated in them when they fell from the trees. I watched him and saw that he had some sort of ladder stabilizer that provided him with real stability. Until then I didn't know such things existed. This spring -- after a horrible windstorm that blew all the maple trees' 'polly noses' into the gutters and clogged them horrendously (particularly after they started to sprout), I went to my local Home Depot where I bought a Werner stabilizer. I attached it to my ladder and gave it a test run. I immediately found out that it was useless for my purposes because the arms were not deep enough to touch the roof, and the ladder still rested on the gutter. I took it back to Home Depot.
I then began my on-line research. I finally boiled it down to two options: (1) the Louisville Ladder Adjustable Ladder Stabilizer; and, (2) the Ladder-Max Stand-off Stabilizer. I liked the adjustability concept of the Louisville Ladder stabilizer, and I also liked the idea of free shipping, but I could not find anything on line that would show me how it attached to the ladder, and/or how it came off the ladder. To me that was of critical importance because I would only be attaching the stabilizer when I needed to use the ladder, and would then remove the stabilizer when I had finished. I was afraid that if there wasn't something that showed how easily it went on and off the ladder that it probably wasn't too easy. I contacted Louisville Ladder and they finally sent me the instructions. As I suspected, mounting and unmounting their stabilizer necessitated the use of tools for each procedure.
The Ladder-Max web site, however shows exactly how their stabilizer attached to and came off the ladder. It looked easy and it is!
I bought the Ladder-Max stabilizer.
It's a bit tricky to assemble, but once assembled it attaches to the ladder in seconds. And it comes off just as easily. No tools required!
I used it for the first time the other day and it's a pleasure. The arms are long enough to rest on the roof and the bumpers on the end of the arms seem well designed and did no damage to my asphalt shingles. For the first time ever (and I've been a home owner for 42 years) I felt secure while cleaning my gutters.
There's no question that with any stabilizer attached to one's ladder makes moving the ladder a bit more problematic, but the rock-solid feel while up on the ladder with the Ladder-Max Stand-off Stabilizer outweighs any such concern for me. And my wife is happy that I'm not likely to fall.

FlatScreen PowerLine 200 Extension Cord with IEC Connection (2 feet) Review

FlatScreen PowerLine 200 Extension Cord with IEC Connection (2 feet)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Notice I say power cord in the title. This is not an extension cord for your new Plasma TV, it is a shorter 2 foot IEC cord. The IEC is the end that goes into your TV, therefore, you cannot use this to extend the length of your power cord, just to create a shorter overall powercord for wall mount applications.

Get Better Performance and a Super-Clean Installation with the Monster Flatscreen PowerLine 200 Bulky power cords with thick, stiff cables and stubborn plugs can make hanging your HDTV on the wall difficult and messy. The Monster Flatscreen PowerLine 200 has a convenient 2ft. cable length that gives you flexibility to route your power cord where you need to while maintaining a clean, neat installation look. Even better, the right-angled FlatProfile Plug stays out of the way of other plugs and outlets, and it lays flat so you can keep your flatscreen TV or other AV equipment right up against wall. Ordinary AC Power Cords Often Can't Deliver High Current for Peak HDTV Performance Ordinary power cords with smaller-gauge copper wiring often fail to deliver or maintain the consistent level of high current necessary to drive power-hungry audio, video, and computer components. Inconsistent or poor voltage delivery, and RF and EM interference, can seriously degrade picture and sound performance. Monster Flatscreen PowerLine 200 Delivers High-Current Power for Maximum AV Performance The solution is connecting your Flatscreen TV with a power cord engineered for high-current applications like the Monster Flatscreen PowerLine 200. Advanced, ultra-fine copper stranding maintains maximum current delivery with minimal loss over long lengths to help ensure peak component performance. The 24k gold plug contacts provide maximum corrosion resistance and power transfer, and 100% mylar shielding rejects RF and EM interference.

This is in Amazon twice, so I'm reviewing twice. Bought for specs - reasonably met cooling expectations given the conditions in which I use it. Heating was abysmal. Just after warranty expiration the exhaust squirrel cage fan blades disentigrated. Called Soleus to buy a new part. Once thru phonemail hell, the obviously new customer service person, although trying to help, finally found out Soleus no longer sells parts. But, for $45/hr they'll troubleshoot and fix it. Just bring it in. They're in El Monte - I'm not. I believe the cheap plastic fan case warped allowing contact with the blades. Lousy customer support. Because this is manufactured in China I cannot find a replacement unit thru normal channels. So I bought a New Air AC1600H based upon many reviews. Not here yet. Stand by.

Victorinox SwissMemory 128 MB USB Storage Device (Translucent Ruby) Review

Victorinox SwissMemory 128 MB USB Storage Device (Translucent Ruby)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There are a lot of advantages to this little gizmo. First, as far as I know, it's the only memory stick that you can use to open your mail and clip your nails, among many other functions.
The second BIG advantage is that there is NO CAP TO LOSE! The thing folds neatly into itself.
The third HUGE advantage is that the memory unit is not encased in some designy-shaped plastic shell that causes problems when you stick it into some computers. It's just a thin, no-nonsense, straight stick that goes right into the slot.
However, the BIGGEST advantage, as accidentally discovered in my own personal consumer test lab here at home, is that it works perfectly even after going through the laundry!
This is a terrific gift for anyone who needs portable memory, and it will make a great gift anytime. Don't wait for the holidays!

Average Reviews:

I'm a tiny bit disappointed. The chandelier is not quite as nice as the picture. The crystals and the decorative leaves are great, but the metal frame is a little flimsy and cheap. But what can you expect for $100? I wish now I had spent a little more for a better product. Still, it's pretty and a good size and I'm sure it will look a lot better once it's hanging on the ceiling and lit up.
A month later: the chandelier is now up in my new guest bathroom, and to my surprise it looks GREAT! It gives the room just the right touch of luxury. The crystals sparkle beautifully and you can't even see the frame, which is the part I didn't like. Since my initial reaction was a bit negative, it seemed only fair to reveal my change of mind. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received the unit on Oct 2009 and it failed at the end of Dec 2009.
It took a long time to get a replacement unit (from China).
The outdoor unit was replaced (labor not covered) and it worked same as the 1st one.
The problem occurs when the system runs in High Power mode, or when coming out of defrost mode, or when a call for a large temperature change is made.
The system power surges to 3 to 4 KW when it tries to heat or cool the house rapidly.
It's rated power is only 2.6 KW. It's over-load protection normally will kick-in at about 3.6 KW or the 230 line 10A circuit breaker will pop open.
To avoid these shut-downs, I monitor the power use and have alarms set at 2KW & 2.65KW. I try to shut down the Sanyo, before the power exceeds 3KW.
Other than the power surge problem, the system works great. Heating and cooling
of our small home is VERY inexpensive now. With the price of heating oil fills,
I think this system has paid for itself at this point.
We do use back-up oil heat, when the temperatures are less than 10deg F.
If you want more info about system performance, search on 'Sanyo 24KHS72 AC/HP DIY'.
Because of this power surge 'bug', I can not recommend this model (24KHS72).
If, the bug is cured someday, I'll come back and edit this review.
Cheers,
Rich
