  • Carlos G. Aguilar Trejo - One of my favorites!

    Hey amigos! I'm veeeeeery happy with this device :) Very good price, excellent size, very good sound and I like the color a lot.

  • lavender-rose - Love that it's all natural, but taste was just fine, not fantastic.

    These bags make a lot of potatoes! I don't love them as much as other reviewers have raved over them, but found them to taste fine. They taste like store bought to me and I do really like that they are all natural. My adult daughter, who only loves instant mashed potatoes, does not like this brand. She said that it tastes like cardboard. (That's why I'm only giving it 3 stars.) I gave a bag to a friend and he said they tasted fine to him. So, just a taste preference.

  • Beejerooni - Buy it. Buy it now.

    Wow... It only took me about 10 minutes to fall in love with this book. Definitely a strong one for CD. It touches on something so real between a husband and a wife that I know many people will be able to relate to pieces in their personal lives. Christine always writes such strong characters, this is no exception. Bravo!

  • Stephen Johnson - Best protective cover for Kindle 5th generation!!!!!!!

    This case is the best. It feels like, looks like and is strong just like real leather. This case back side is like the Android phone covers, hard protective plastic and rubber with a magnetic flip cover. It is strong, sturdy and well put together. I highly recommended this cover, real talk, buy it, you won't be disappointed.

  • Toni Welch - Awesome lantern/flashlight combo.

    I really like this lantern/flashlight combo. When I first received this product I was expecting it to be a okay but I can really see why this will come in handy. When I first read about this product I just thought it was a lantern/flashlight combo, I had no idea it was a power bank too. I just like the size and quality of this lantern/flashlight combo. Its got a nice sturdy weight to it and it feels good in the hand and I love the portability of it. It gives off a really bright light, more than I expected it to give. It has 3 modes, bright light, dim light, and a emergency flashing light. The all seem to work great. It's also rechargeable by the USB cable on the unit. The powerbank on it can charge devices likes your smart phone or MP3 player. Seems to charge smartphones at a decent rate. I would recommend this product to anyone. I received this product at a discounted rate for my honest review.

  • Charles Yan - Great but improvements can be made for the energy conscious user or organization.

    The core functions are robust and powerful, however some work is needed on the wake-up and prevent from sleeping functions and return to sleep functions. The Surface 3 Pro aggressively goes to sleep and Acronis backups will fail even with the proper keep from sleeping option checked. As home and businesses become increasingly green, reliable power management settings will need to be the norm as we cannot waste energy leaving machines on overnight just to complete backups anymore.
