Epson Photo Paper - epson, photo quality paper


I like getting the best product (quality) for the $$. I have found there is a significant difference with the quality of my prints if I do NOT use Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy on my Epson Printer. My photos printed are frequently commented on by others for their quality of print. Others are shocked my photos are printed at home, on an inexpensive Epson Printer (Photo R280) using Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy Paper.



I do not know how this paper works on other printers. Glossy Ultra Premium Photo Paper, 50 Sheet, 8.5 X 11 Inches

I'm a photojournalist using the new Epson Glossy Ultra Premium Photo Paper in my Epson printer. Surface gloss and image reproduction appears nearly identical to the old version Premium Photo Paper--maybe a bit more neutral instead of cream color. The big improvement is that it uses a heavier paper stock: 79 lb vs. the old 68 lb. This gives a more solid, professional feel to your prints and photo business cards and less chance of texture bleed-though on mounted prints. Good stuff!

This Epson Photo Paper is heavy, as good photo paper should be. My photos come out looking great. A bit higher priced than average but you have to pay it to get paper heavy enough to feel like a photo that has been professionally developed. I do recommend it if paying more is not an issue. You will like the quality of the paper in spite of the cost. I have only bought it from Amazon so have no idea what it costs at other stores but I would say that you will find the lowest price for it at amazon since they usually are always the best place to find the lowest price available, especially if you have the "Prime" shipping. You do have to add in the shipping cost and that can sometimes add an outrageous amount when buying from an independent Seller.

I took a chance and picked up a pack of this paper at my local Office Supply store--the price was a bit off-putting, but now I'm hooked. I use a dirt-cheap Brother MFC printer that is normally very touchy about what kind of paper it will take. No problems with this stuff though, it's thick enough to be a suitable print but not too the point of causing a paper jam. The best aspect, however, was that this stuff is incredibly art friendly. By and large I am printing digital paintings as opposed to photographs, and this paper seems remarkably good about being messed with once it's out of the printer. Cuts with two swipes of the xacto, mounts easily, and doesn't curl.



The only downside is the dry time. This paper comes out of your printer wet and smelly. While you don't really have to wait the recommended 24 hours, you'd better leave it alone for at least several, and be warned: even after 24 hours, it's not foolproof. Don't be in a hurry, and keep your fingers off this stuff. I've had prints smudge under my fingers even 48 hours after the fact. But matted and put into sleeves, or framed, it's fantastic and I've never had any issues with prints once they were safely nestled in the portfolio. Wonderful paper...if a bit smelly. :D

I am a serious photographer with many years of experience. In the past, I used HP Premium Plus Photo Paper most of the time. My printers are HP Deskjet and Dell P513 Inkjet. With both printers, with RGB, 400 dpi, and Leter size paper, this Epson paper is much better. The color is deeper and dries faster. The price is also comparable to Hp papers. The Amazon price is even chaper than HP papers I buy at local stores.

I liked to make notecards, usually two on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of matte paper, because I didn't think I could fold glossy paper without it cracking, and writing on the back side of the paper resulted in smears, no matter how long I waited for the ink to dry.



Today I discovered that this paper folds flawlessly and that I could write on it with an instant drying Sharpie Ultra Fine Point marker.

Of course, there is the small matter of the faint "Epson" printed on the back of the paper, but what I'm going to do for my notecards for Christmas is print the text on a smaller piece of paper and tack that to the inside of the card.



Although it's Epson paper I prefer using my Canon IP6700 printer - I get great color from it just by choosing Photo Paper Pro and in Photoshop "Printer Manages Colors". With my Epson R800 the prints are almost always too dark and I have to jump through hoops to make all sorts of settings. The Canon also prints way faster.

I bought first another brand with the same features, but they absolutely have nothing in common.

The Epson paper works perfectly for photo printing, while the other brand jammed and the results were not as good. - Photography - Professional - Epson - Photo Quality Paper'

School Supplies - liquid ink highlighters


The first time I bought liquid highlighters I was in college and was afraid to spend my money on them, but took a chance. I LOVED them! They were uni-Blazers by EF and, unfortunately, they aren't made any more (not that I can find anyway). I bought them in 1994 and still use them now in 2010! The ink never dried out. Admittedly, I didn't use them consistently all those years, but I did use them quite a bit when I did. The point is--just because it's a liquid highlighter doesn't mean it has to dry out or run out quickly! ... unlike these Sharpie Accents. I bought this pack because I really liked the other liquid ones and thought these looked nice. Unfortunately, I've been using the yellow one for only two weeks and the ink is half gone!! I thought perhaps the other reviewers were leaving the caps off while they read, but no, I faithfully put the cap back on immediately each time.



The other thing I really, really dislike about these is that when I use an index card to keep my underlining straight and then move the index card down a line it smears the ink! No other highlighters I've ever used have done this. This doesn't dry as fast as others do. It seems these put too much ink on the page, even thought they don't bleed through much--they do a little. I tried the other colors and they all behaved the same way.



Also, the cap is really hard to get on and off. There is a little plastic area in the cap that uses a spring to create a seal on the top of the marker. I'm guessing it's to keep it from drying out. But it makes it hard to get on and off, which makes it quite annoying to put the cap back on every time you use it.



These highlighters are very bright. You probably won't overlook a highlighted portion of text on a page. Sometimes, I feel it is too bright, but that's just a personal preference. If you like a very bright marker and don't mind it running out really quickly, these might be ok for you. They do look nice and don't feel too bad in the hand--I'm pretty picky that way.



So, I'm going to try another brand and give these to my daughter to play with till they finish running out. Sharpie Accent Liquid Pen-Style Highlighters, 5 Colored Highlighters(24575PP)

I love these! I don't know if they last longer or shorter than regular highlighters and don't care. I'm just happy they don't bleed through to the other side of the page. Very bright and easy to control how much space you want the highlighter to cover.

If you are paying sticker for these, they are an expensive set of highlighters. That said, they're also some of the best highlighters you can buy.



The amount of fluid in the pen is substantially less than it could potentially hold. I'd imagine ink is cheap, so the only reason for this is to reduce the lifespan of the product forcing you to buy more.



On the plus side, the pen highlights well, and consistently. The visible fluid reservoir allows you to see how much (or little) life the pen has left.



I'd purchase again, especially if on sale.

There's not too much else to say. I bought these on sale, and probably wouldn't pay full price for them. In my opinion, they were okay for less than a buck but I'd stick with non-liquid ones if I were repurchasing. These ones can definitely bleed a bit, and I felt that the blue was really too dark to even highlight things with.

These are the ONLY highlighters that I use. Sharpie has always been a quality brand and these highlighters are just a testimony of that. Each of the colors work well for me without being TOO bright or too heavy. I especially enjoy the clear tube because you can watch the ink level and it is easy to see which color you need. However, I do wish that the liquid ink was a bit more controlled and consistent. At times, even at the same level of pressure, the ink will flow a bit heavy. This does not happen often, in fact, it is pretty rare but, it still happens. With that being said, these highlighters, as usual, are a great buy.

These highlighters are on the more high end side I guess. I'd prefer to use the normal sharpie highlighters (I've always used those) but I saw these on sale for 75 cents and thought, "Why not?" My only issues with is that there's too much ink used sometimes - they take longer to dry than normal highlighters and some colors are too dark to use (like the blue).

I use a lot of highlighters, I even have different uses for different colors and shades. About 3 years ago I came across these highlighters in a retail store and didn't purchase them as they were more then I typically pay for highlighters and my normal highlighters worked fine. One week I decided to "splurge" and spend the extra 60 cents (or however much it was). I have found these to be far better then any other type of highlighter that I have tried. These work much better in every way. The lids do fit on tight, but A) I like that of any pen/marker and B) if they didn't and the cap came off in your pocket, you would probably need to replace that piece of clothing.

For the price I spent on the highlighter, I don't feel too horrible about purchasing. But it would definitely not be worth retail price.



Pros:

- Depending on what you prefer, might consider this a con. The cap capped on very tightly. Need to use a bit of strength to open and close the cap. I liked this because it prevents leakage. And you know for sure that you capped your highlighter.

- Didn't smudge.

- The chisel tip wasn't too large that it covered two lines of text when I only needed to highlight one line.



Cons:

- Runs out very quickly. I used one highlighter pen for two weeks of light-moderate highlighting, and it's gone already.

- The color that you see in the photograph of the highlighting liquid is all you get. The previous poster was accurate in the description. You literally get only an inch of highlighting liquid. The ink does not extend into the black label. (Reason for the highlighter running out so quickly) - Liquid Ink Highlighters'

Touch Screen Stylus - ipad stylus, stylus


I was skeptical before ordering this. My main goal was to find a stylus with enough precision to use with a painting app for the iPhone called "Brushes". If you happen to be looking for the same, look no further.



The problem with most stylus-like devices for capacitive touch devices such as the iPhone is that the minimum diameter required to register a "touch" is actually quite large. I suspect this was done to lessen the frequency of accidental touches. So, the trick here is to find a stylus that meets the minimum diameter requirements while still delivering the precision needed.



This is where the Pogo Sketch really shines. The barrel of the device is incredibly slim but still comfortable in the hand. The length is also perfect-- just barely longer than the length of an iPhone, it's sure to fit wherever your iphone is stored. The contact point of the device is a small fuzzy head. I'm not sure what the material is but it's slightly squishy. The great part is that the head is small enough that it doesn't obscure the view of what you're touching.



In practice:

Wow. Absolutely smooth. In use, the Pogo Sketch glides across the glass of an iPhone. There is just the tiniest bit of drag, but it feels very natural. Next, pressure: This is very important. Little pressure is needed to register a touch on the device. The original Pogo Stylus really lacked in this area, you have to press quite hard which can be uncomfortable for long periods of use.



Conclusion:

If you're looking for a stylus for any of the painting/drawing apps for the IPhone/iPod Touch, this is really top notch. If you're looking for a stylus for day-to-day use of your iPhone/iPod Touch, IMHO, you should really just use the best natural stylus available- your index finger.



Pros:

Super slim form, precise

Little pressure needed

Glides easily



Cons:

I can't really think of any. This exceeded my expectations. I suppose I could say something about the price being a little high, but it's a niche market. Ten One Design Pogo Sketch Stylus for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch (Silver)

I purchased 2 of these to use on my iPad with the handwriting application Penultimate. At first I was very impressed with the stylus. After only a few moments I was able to adapt to the "feel" of it, and while it didn't feel as natural as writing with a traditional pen it was more than adequate for jotting down thoughts, ideas, lists, and other quick notes.



My good first impression wore off quickly, however. After the first day the foam tip on the first stylus had worn down to about half its original size. It was also felt "squishy," having lost a lot of the firmness that it had when I first took it out of the package. The more I used the stylus, the less accurate it became. I started to notice little black flecks from the foam actually rubbing off the tip like pencil eraser shavings.



I'm now 3 days into using this product and I've reduced both of my Pogos to squishy nubs. Needless to say I have already ordered another stylus (I won't mention it in this review so that I won't be accused of being a plant for another proct) and will be returning the Pogo for a refund.



****EDIT 01/25/2011****

See the comments, I have discussed the other styli I have tried and I make a recommendation there.

***********************



I'd also like to point out that I was not sketching with the stylus, just writing notes. I was also using the absolute minimum amount of pressure required to create a stroke.



If you are just going to use the stylus to tap the screen and virtual keyboard I think it would be great for your needs, but if you plan on writing onto the screen you're wasting your time and money with this product. I suspect that most of the 5-star reviews were from people who used the stylus only lightly before posting, or were using it to just tap on icons and the keyboard. Either that or I managed to get 2 defective ones in the same order!

Yes, it's a bit spendy for what you get, but what you get is a tool that makes your iPod Touch experience significantly more comfortable -- and precise.



Typing: Let's face it -- thumbs were not meant for precision work, like typing on a tiny little QWERTY keyboard. If you know your way around a standard keyboard, you'll double your speed and accuracy with this device. Yes, you have to use a bit more pressure than a finger to get the same results, but it's negligible, and that's a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make for increased accuracy and speed.



Internet: If you need to click inside a tiny little box to enter a user name or password, it's quick and precise with this little tool. (I still "pinch" to increase and decrease screen size, and use my fingers or thumb to perform other functions that don't require a lot of precision.) Clicking on links or articles within web pages is much easier with this tool than a finger.



Games: Some of the games I like to play require a lot of clicking, or clicking and dragging (Bejeweled, BrainThaw, Chicktionary, TapTap Revenge) and the stylus works much better for these than a finger -- and causes less muscle cramping and fatigue. The stylus length is about 1/2 inch longer than the iPod device, which makes it more comfortable to use than the shorter Pogo stylus (or the short stylus devices that come with Nintendo DS). A full size pen would be even better.



Overall, this little device does exactly what I had hoped for: it makes my iPod Touch experience easier and more comfortable. (Oh yeah -- it's also a very classy looking tool, and ultra lightweight.)

I have the older version of this stylus and I finally got fed up when I lost it for the millionth time so I ordered this one and I couldn't be happier!



This stylus' earlier version worked but it was short and had no real way to keep it near by without putting it in your pocket, the clip it came with was made to fit an iphone as opposed to an ipod touch.



This one how ever features a pen clip and a hole at the very top to string a lanyard to, which i have done.



I absolutely love this stylus and i would recommend it to anyone. - Stylus - Touch Screen Stylus - Ipad Stylus - Pogo Stylus'

Wireless Home Theater


With the exception of scary generics that I don't know well, you're choices in the current blu-ray home theater in a box (HTIB) space is restricted to Sony, LG, Philips, and Samsung. I did see some reviews of Onkyo, but those are significantly pricier for the same features. I basically evaluated these players based on features for the $$$ and selected LG. I also found that all the new models are 3-D players, but very reasonably priced. I cannot comment on the 3-D display quality, as my LG LCD TV does not have this feature.



Setup/Install:

Good labeled speaker wire with no proprietary speaker connections (I'm looking at you Sony), so you can extend the wires easy for a bigger room. No HDMI or ethernet cable. This unit does not include wi-fi. No wireless rear speakers either.



Hardware:

Cheap ipod dock, but I'm sure it's sufficient. I haven't used it yet oddly, even though I have my iPhone on hand for music all the time. But I primarily use MOG and Pandora, both apps included on this web-connected system. (MOG for a fee, Pandora if you can put up with their constantly-increasing ads). I think the days of taking time to select and pay to "own" individual tracks are numbered, I LOVE the TV showing the music app while the tunes blast over the speakers.



Remote is decently laid out, but the tactile sense kind of stinks. Not a big deal to me, you just have to press the buttons a little harder than what should be necessary. I've got the remote app on my iPhone, but c'mon LG developers, give that app some KEYBOARD functionality.



Note: The LG "Remote" iphone app has 2 store choices. I'm speaking of the one labeled for 2011 devices. I'd like to know if the older app has text entry. Why is this important? Imagine how much text entry is needed to navigate Netflix, youtube, pandora, etc. The less-than-perfect remote combined with letter by letter selection gets old REAL fast. PLEASE LG APP DEVELOPERS, HEAR OUR CALL! We're looking at 3-5 seconds between character entry!



Speakers/Main Unit:

Nothing flashy here. The speakers have no protective cover but look sharp and modern in flat black. All 4 surround speakers are identical. The subwoofer looks nice with the same shiny finish as the surrounds. The center speaker for vocals is also attractive. The head-unit is quite wide, and the display is nothing special. Kind of like looking at a high-school scoreboard. White LED display on black.



Sound Quality:

What can I say, I've got surround sound for a VERY reasonable price. I'm happy with the quality compared to my TV speakers ;) I'm no audiophile, but I do love music and concerts. This sound quality meets my needs. It will boom if you like some bass to dance to.



Note: The next model up (LG LHB536 1100W 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System with Smart TV Integrated Wi-Fi) I THOUGHT only included integrated wi-fi connectivity, but look closer at the pics and you'll notice this unit adds tweeters as well. I can't comment on the difference in sound quality, but something to consider.



Network connectivity and apps:

System hooked right up to the web. Hard-wired to a wireless router on a Comcast cable subscription in Denver metro area. Props to LG engineers here, I was on the web instantly! I work as a computer engineer, so I do appreciate the ease of use and instant gratification out-of-the-box.



App installation:

1. Created my LG account and then accessed "Premium" apps

2. Netflix - Works great. My PS3 was consistently dropping Netflix about every 20 minutes, requiring a button press to restart play. Now I know it wasn't my ISP, b/c those days are over. The PS3 interface for netflix was a little more visually appealing and easy to use. However, Netflix is constantly testing new interfaces for different device types, so this could change next week.

3. Pandora - Well, just logged into this for the first time to give my fellow shoppers a break-down :) Beautiful interface, lots of functionality (bookmarks, ratings, station creation). This is a winner. My track-forward remote button even shoots to the next Pandora song. Nicely integrated.

4. MOG - I'm just happy to SEE this app from the little music start-up that could. Feature set is limited, very limited. But searching for nearly ANY artist/track/album and playing it immediately is SWEET! (Subscription service, but consider the amount of time needed to download tracks to devices and the cost to pay by track). I hope the guys at MOG will bring playlist look-up and creation to this app though. Basically all you have here is search and the ability to browse editor's picks, top picks, and new releases. Note: There is no searching of others' playlist's either (in my opinion the killer app of the MOG model). But alas, these functions already exist for the iPhone and Android MOG apps, so it's just a matter of time until this hits a developer's queue (PLEASE MOG?!?)



Overall, I like the system a lot so far. I'm only 2 days in, so hopefully no glitches to come. If you buy one of these, join up with the AVS forum site. Lot's of good details there on this product family.



Happy with the seller, very happy with Amazon's early delivery. LG LHB336 1100W 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System with Smart TV

I am a young first time home homeowner who wanted to add to a 55" flat screen. I spent countless hours researching and was very torn between buying a component only speaker system or an all in one blu-ray/receiver surround system. Being a typical guy, I wanted to push my budget and get an onokyo component system for $850. After numerous hours I thought that system was it, but the reviews gave me doubt. I realized if I was going to spend that kind of money it better be flawless. Instead I went with the LG for $360. So far I can tell you the speakers were very easy to set up. However, the manual is very brief and does not tell how to hook up the tv/cable box/gaming system. All in all the sound is great for the money. I can hear the music clearly from outside. If you are simply looking to add a great surround in a box to your home for a reasonable price, I do recommend this system.'

makeup remover - makeup remover


Like the product, don't love it. This is the first lotion remover I've tried, and I think I'm partial to a liquid. It removes most of my waterproof mascara, but there's a bit more residue than I'm used to. What I do like is that it's very gentle--no stinging. Definitely recommend following the direction that you use a damp cotton ball to apply. Using a dry one just doesn't cut it! Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion

I've used this product for a few years now and it never disappoints. It goes on smoothly and I never have to worry about it getting in my eyes since it seems to be safe and so gentle. You don't need too much to do the job of taking off your makeup and it leaves a nice soft feeling when you are done. I won't use any other product. For the money and softness, it is well worth every penny.

The eye makeup remover is gentle but effective. I use it in the shower. It is lotion-y, so you can massage it over your eyes. I wish it came in a larger volume even though a little bit of it goes a long way.

Wish they'd take down that $.0l price down. I was so stupid I thought it was $01 Cent. I purchased 2 bottles and they charged me $5.00 for each bottle for Shipping/Handling. Cost for two bottles of Avon eye makeup remover $10.02.



Good stuff one or two sweeps and the mascara and eye makeup is gonezo.

It was getting hard to find my previous favorite mascara remover, and most of them don't work well, or they create a "film" on my eyes. This works VERY WELL and does NOT get that film in my eyes. I will certainly recommend it and buy again. I use waterproof mascaras, and they are usually harder to remove, but it is no problem for this. It only takes a tiny bit, and I don't have to rub hard. This is my new favorite mascara remover! - Makeup Remover'

Cordless Screwdriver - screwdriver, power tools


The benefits of cordless power tools are obvious, but who says you need to pay hundreds of dollars to get the job done if you live in an apartment and don't have a contractor's license?



For $25, this is a super addition to any toolbox -- or kitchen cabinet. This is a great gift idea for dad -- or mom, for that matter.



Here's why:



* Quick-release collar allows you to pop in a screw or drill bit in a flash. A nice, tight grip.

* Multiple forward or reverse speeds at the click of a button. Torque control on the collar is easy to adjust and visual icons make it easy to figure out which one is best depending on whether you're using a screw or drill bit. Sweet.

* From 3-6 hours of operation on a single charge. Because it can take about six hours to re-charge, it's a good idea to leave this plugged into an outlet in the kitchen, bathroom or garage (but not longer than 3-4 weeks without use to avoid reduction in battery life).

* Ability to pivot the position of the handle or angle is big plus and great way to avoid carpel tunnel pain.

* The LED light, built-in removable tape measure and bit holder on the handle are fluff, but add to the coolness factor.

* Surprisingly light weight for it's rather large size.



So far no complaints. Price, form and function add up to a solid 5-star rating. You simply can't go wrong here. Black & Decker PD600 Pivot Plus 6-Volt Nicad Cordless Screwdriver with Articulating Head

I have one of these power screwdrivers and it is a lifesaver! It cuts down on installion time by quite a lot. My fiance put together two new bookshelves for me with this screwdriver in FAR less time than it normally takes him with a regular screwdriver!Besides being a great screwdriver, it also can act as a drill (if you get the right bits). Since it has two speeds, you can drill holes at a quick speed, then use the slower speed when you're using the screwdriver part. It also has a handy tape measure inside for quick, last minute measuring. Another great benefit is that it locks in to three different positions - so if you need to get to something at an awkward angle, it makes it a LOT easier! It also has a handy light on it, so if you are screwing something in a dark part of a room, you can see better what you're doing. I'm very impressed with this tool - I highly recommend purchasing it! You will not be disappointed!

Have been using this product for over 2 years. The design and power is pretty good for normal jobs around the house. The biggest complain that I have is the battery. NiCd is really getting on my nerves because we are used to much better technologies now. Recharging is always tricky because if you don't drain it all, the memory effect will kill the battery in a few short circles. Switch to other products with Li-Ion battery (just like the ones in our cell phones) which will give you more power and with little or no memory effect.

Purchased this as a Christmas present for my wife and have been installing blinds ever since. While it's not intended to take the place of an 18 volt drill, it does a great job screwing and unscrewing. The forward, reverse rocker switch is more convient than others that we have used and the angles are handy. I would not recommend it as a replacement for the DeWalt heavy duty cordless screwdriver (my favorite), but it's lighter and 1/3 the price. Well worth the money....

This is the best *cheap* cordless screwdriver I have ever used. The ergonomics of this driver feels good in your hand. Plenty of power and charge in the 6V battery. The clutch eliminates the problem of overtightening and the drill speed is great for quick pilot holes. The two bit holders and LED light really add to the convenience. I haven't used the tape, which is pretty cheesy, but I imagine it could come in handy for a quick measurement. I only have two complaints, but for less than $30, they really don't matter... 1) It should have a LED to indicate that it is charging, 2) I wish the battery was replacable. For the money, this is an indispensible gadget.

It does everything as advertised.Pros: different torque settings, 2 drive speeds, small LED light, pivot point, overall "feel".Cons: drilling is only for light duty jobs (otherwise get a real drill), charging time takes too long. connection for the charger plug is right in the pivot point and it doesn't let you use it while plugged in.Other than the charging issues(that's why I won't give it 5 stars) but it's a great tool at a decent price.

I think all the advertised features are practical and usefull:

- Low speed high torque for screwdriving and higher speed for drilling.

- Integrated LED light eliminate dark spot or your shadow cast.

- Pivotable handle allows the best grip -- keep it straight for normal screw driving and tilt it all the way for larger job with higher torque requirements.

- Dettachable tape measure provides some conveniences too in case you forgot to wear one.



And I also like its exceptional power for it's size and thanks to it's adjustable torque output I strip less screws. It's light weight too for it's power.



However, I don't care much about its quick connect/disconnect collar as there are not many bits I would use this screwdriver with besides the phillips and flat and occasionally an allen head.



Several more complaints (not really that bad) to follow:

- Not a good drill for 1. its high speed is not high enough and 2. you need non-standarad/special drill bit to work with its quick connect/disconnect collar. The included one drill bit however is good for pilot hole for screw. (I use better cordless drill but a good drill normally weighs a lot more).

- Battery not changeable (who cares.. get a whole new power screwdriver for only $25)

- No variable speed (this means you cannot start or stop your drive slowly)

- No battery indicator (hmmm.. can't seem to know which one has..)



As far as the battery life is concerned, I suggest following the manual's maintenance recommendation and you should get the max out of it.



Conclusion: A good buy and I highly recommend if you are looking for a more powerful electric screwdriver but don't want to bear the weight of a real cordless drill. Five stars for the screwdriver (one star for the drill) - Cordless Drill - Screwdriver - Power Tools - Black And Decker'

Universal Laptop Charger - toshiba satellite ac adapter, battery charger


My puppy chewed up my laptop charger and I needed a quick fix without having to spend too much. The shipping was extremely fast and the product was great, but after a week it stopped working. I have to spend about 20 minutes every time positioning my laptop so that it will charge. I would recommend spending the extra money for a better charger. Universal AC Adapter/Power Supply/Charger Cord for Toshiba Laptop 90w

I have owned this product for alittle over a month and I have not had any problems with it. My computer is about 5 years old and the battery doesn't hold charge, so I have keep the charger plugged in constantly. I have NOT had any problems with pieces being broken or loose as I had read previously. I am very happy with the use I am getting out of this computer charger. NO PROBLEMS HERE!

The item arrived fast and packaged well. It worked as one of the tips fit my laptop. You will need to be careful with it after a week or so of moving the laptop around and plugging and unplugging laptop the tip worked loose and no longer supplied power without alot of wiggling it around.

I looked at the product reviews before purchasing and I wasn't sure if i should have bought this charger especially since it was less than 10 dollars!

But now I own this computer charger now and it SUCKS!!! I have used 2 tips since 2 fit my computer and they both gave me the same problems. I have to move the tip around in circles to find where it will charge for the time being and it has to stay in that position the whole time without moving to make it charge.



I do not recommend buying this charger.

This product was a huge piece of garbage. The adapter would not stay plugged into the back of my computer. We had to keep moving the cords around in order for the lights to go on and charge the computer. It lasted about 2 weeks then we couldn't handle the dumb thing so we don't even try to use it any more. It basically will not charge my computer unless I hold the adapter plug just right into the back of my computer and let it charge. Waste of money.

I needed a universal charger cord for my Toshiba laptop when mine stopped working(they didn't sell one for my laptop anymore). I looked at multiple places but it was like $90. I'm very happy with this purchase it works great! - Notebook Power Adapters - Universal Laptop Ac Adapter - Battery Charger - Toshiba Satellite Ac Adapter'
