Monster Cable iSplitter Mini Y-Adapter for iPodMonster Cable iSplitter Mini Y-Adapter for iPod
Rated 2 Stars"A criticism" 2008-08-01
The diameter of the hub for the jack inserting into the ipod is large enough that it hits the protective casing that I leave my ipod in (Speck --black rubber); as a result, the slightest false movement causes the jack to fall out of the ipod. Basically it doesn't stay securely in place, leading to interruptions in music listening, etc.

Rated 5 Stars"absolutely delightful" 2008-02-20
I don't get the cranky reviews I read below. This turntable does exactly what it is purported to do. I've rescued many out of print classical LPs with outstanding results. I haven't tried the Audacity software yet for cleaning out the background hisses and pops from old LPs but I'm told it is straightforward to use. I highly recommend this turntable for anyone who has a large LP collection and wants to convert to digital format, suitable for MP3 player, iPod, etc. I'm no technophile yet I found it easy enough to use. Also, can be connected in-series with cassette deck.


Portable Room Air Conditioner Sunpentown with Remote Control - WA1010EPortable Room Air Conditioner Sunpentown with Remote Control - WA1010E
Rated 3 Stars"Unhappy with purchase - returned after 1 week" 2006-07-02
The idea of a portable AC is great. The Sunpentown machine itself is great, it really churns out cool air. The problems with the design in my opinion, which any potential buyer needs to be aware of, are the following:

1) the exhaust pipe going from the machine to the window is not insulated, so it actually becomes very very hot when the machine is operating at full bore. It is not hot enough to pose a hazard when touched, but it actuallly re-heats the room on the way to the window. Overall the room does cool down but there is an inherent inefficiency in the way the room is cooled on one side of the machine then partially re-warmed on the other. Commercial units I've seen utilize an insulated pipe as exhaust.

2) The window mounting supplies for the exhaust pipe are a complete joke, a real slap in the face to the consumer. What is needed is something rigid which can be sized to the window frame. The company supplies a piece of flexible foam to be cut to fit. It barely stays upright in the window frame. Handy people might want to cut themselves a piece of plywood or plexiglass instead.

The company has a potentially wonderful product. They need to supply a better (insulated) exhaust, and more realistic supplies for the window mount.
