Monster Cable iSplitter Mini Y-Adapter for iPodMonster Cable iSplitter Mini Y-Adapter for iPod
Rated 2 Stars"I expected more from Monster" 2008-10-12
I spent a little extra for this splitter after reading the reviews but after receiving it I am somewhat disappointed. Both input sockets on the adapter I received are really loose. When I plug a stereo mini-jack into either input, there isn't a reassuring 'click' when fully inserted.

Pulling them out takes almost no effort as I found out after moving some cables around behind my computer (I'm using them to connect two computers to a single set of speakers). They're so lose that it's easy to accidentally pull the plug out of the socket!

I've tried plugs from different headphones/cables and they all demonstrate this, so it's not due to the plug; the sockets are just too loose. I'm hoping I just got a defective unit and Monster will warranty it, but as it stands right now, I can't recommend this item.

UPDATE
I received an exchange from Monster and the replacement has more solid feeling sockets; plugs now "snap" into the sockets as I'd expect. The only thing is that they sent me a different model as a replacement (AICYP 200) which has volume controls and a switch. So while this review is for the AICYP (non-switched) model, I'll leave my original comments in place. I wish I could bump up my rating to 3 Stars, since Monster did provide excellent customer service and made it right in the end. But it doesn't look like I can change the star rating, after the fact.


GoFit Exercise Ball - 65cmGoFit Exercise Ball - 65cm
Rated 4 Stars"Decent ball, but a little larger than advertised" 2007-03-09
Though advertised as 65cm, once fully inflated I measured it as 71cm. This isn't a problem unless you are in between sizes like I am (I have a relatively short 31" inseam for my 5'9" height). I probably should have opted for the 55cm.

Otherwise, this is a decent ball. It holds air adequately; I only have to top-off with air once every few weeks. I also like the neutral, pearl color which is much better than the super-bright colors of other balls out there.


Weber Style Professional-Grade Barbecue Beeper Digital ThermometerWeber Style Professional-Grade Barbecue Beeper Digital Thermometer
Rated 2 Stars"When it works it works great, but..." 2006-09-13
I purchased this product about two years ago and it's great for cooking meats on the grill. No more second guessing whether the chicken is done (or overdone).

But so far I've gone through three sensor wires in that short time period. Each time they failed (reading of 199° immediately after turning it on), I've had to call Weber and request a replacement. I was always accused of closing the lid on the wire, which I never did -- I would always make sure the wire was placed in one of the little notches on the side of our Weber grill. But to their credit, they eventually would agree to send me out a new one.

After the third sensor wire failed just recently, they sternly informed me that "this would be the last time" they would replace it since I've had the product for more than a year. The unit has a one-year warranty, but I guess it doesn't matter that I never got more than a year out of any of the sensors.

If they improved the durability of the sensor wire then they would have a great product on their hands. As it stands now, I'd steer clear of this product.
