The Grace internet radio tuner works great. Depending on your home network setup, you may get intermittent “buffering” lapses in music using wi-fi. I ran a CAT5 cable to my switch (or router) and it works perfectly. It’s fun exploring music from around the world. I especially like being able to listen to my favorite radio station (as a teenager) from across the country!

This product is awesome! It will bring you tons of commercial free stations from all over the world and in most languages. It was easy to set-up and it offers something for everybody.I hooked it up wireless and I am getting a full strength signal even while having many other wireless products being used at the same time. I had a Sirius (only) radio that would cut-out all the time. This is a great product and it will bring your favorite songs,news,sport,talk,ect; to you for free on thousands of stations with a clear quality. I am totally happy with this product and would recomend it to all.

At this product’s price point I thought I couldn’t go wrong in trying out the world of Internet radio. And though there are a variety of standalone or tabletop Internet radio’s I was looking for a way to integrate with my existing home theater system and this product seemed like a logical choice. I currently have my radio configured to work via Wifi with WPA security connected to a LinkSys Dual N band router and have experienced no issues with performance. Initial setup was straight forward and simple as is using the radio to browse the 17,000+ Internet stations. What I didn’t count on was how much I would really come to enjoy not only Internet radio but this product in specific. If you’ve not yet tried Internet Radio I urge you to give this unit a try and see what you’ve been missing.

I ordered this to give myself more options of things to listen. Fedex delivered it the day of my daughters Halloween party. Setting it up was a breeze and we actually found a Halloween station. Very appropriate for the night. I was also able to link up to my Sirius account easily, and have not even scratched the surface of what it can do. Like I said in the title, I love it.

The tuner quit working on my eight year old high dollar receiver. Could not justify replacing the receiver just because of the tuner. Could not justify the repair on an eight year old receiver. Checked out several options, and found this. Reading the reviews, I noticed that Grace seems to be watching, and chimes in with suggestions to problems. For me, a caring customer service can make the difference between a good product, and a great one. So, I went for it. Ordered from Amazon late on a Friday night with free shipping, was at my door Monday afternoon. The unit is the same width as all my other components, so it blends in well. It is also short enough to stack into my rack nicely. Fits right in. Set up went very well. After entering my passcode for my router, I got the message it was invalid. Tried again, still no good. Unplugged my router for a few seconds, then back in, and the unit hooked right up. No problem, minor speed bump. The unit works great. Connected it to my receiver using a digital coax. Sound clarity and stereo separation is excellent. I cannot praise it anymore than what has already been said, but let me add that I love being able to control it using my i-pad. That feature is icing on the cake. Should have bought this a long time ago.

View Product Details & Features about Sony SSF-7000 Floor-Standing 4-way Speaker with 8″ Woofer (Pair) Go! »

I have been looking to purchase new speakers since Christmas of 2009 because I received a Pioneer Stereo System. I have been using my old Sony Bookshelf Speakers until now, I have looked into many different makers of speakers and have done my research. I was reluctant to purchase these speakers because I have had a few problems with Sony products in the past. But after talking to a few people and looking into other speaker systems, not to mention seeing them on sale on Amazon, I had to have them. I bought them for $214.00 Shipped within a week. I was amazed at the size of the box, I did not realize how big these speakers actually were until they were standing in my living room. I am 5’10″ and they come up to the top of my stomach. As for aesthetics they look amazing with or with out there removable grill. The Silver color of the Speakers is almost awe-inspiring next to a smaller TV they almost draw your attention away from what is actually playing on the TV. I have no complaints about the look of the speakers.

Couldn’t be happier. These hit harder and deeper than any sub I have heard for under 300 dollars msrp. I would buy these again in a heart beat. Not as sharp or clear as Polks/Klipsch/etc, but still very nice, and they get down pretty low. Buy them…stop thinking about it.

Say what you will. Dollar for sound sony has done a top notch job compared to other more expensive towers speakers.

These speakers are great not only for the price but great sounding too. I wasn’t crazy about buying Sony speakers as I haven’t been very impressed with Sony in the past but this is a great product and within my budget. How many speakers of this type can you buy for around $200 and get a Pair not just one? The Bass is good but you may still want to add a subwoofer. Otherwise great mid’s and high’s.

A better deal would be 3 Sony SS-B3000. For 3 times $86 ( $258 ) you would get a total of 6 8 inch woofers, 6 3.25″ mids and 6 1″ tweeters. If you get the Sony SSF-7000 for $250 you only get 4 8 inch woofers, 2 3.25″ mids and 2 tweeters. So you get 50% more woofers and 200% more mids and tweeters if you get the 3 Sony SS-B3000 for the same money. However , you have to know how to wire it all together.

Wanted to update my home theater setup and still be able to enjoy 2-channel sound for my music.Was wary of the price (you usually get what you pay for) and the fact Sony is not really known for loudspeakers. Figured if they didn’t work out as my main speakers, I could use them in my bedroom system.THESE ROCK! Excellent sound quality wheather watching a dvd (“Pulp Fiction” to “March Of The Penguins”) or listening to music (Nickelback to Rush to Bach) they never miss a beat.I paid about$150.00 for the set. Heavy, but very nice to look at and their narrow design fits perfectly in my living room. They get many compliments! Would def.recommend ESPECIALLY at the price. Save your high-priced audiophile snobbery.

View Product Details & Features about Sonos Bridge Instant Setup Solution For Sonos Wireless Network (BR100) Go! »

My Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station is centrally located in my house. The PC that stores all my music was at the far end of the house. Before the ZoneBridge 100 (BR100) I had to “waste” a ZonePlayer 80, a $350 investment. Now I have the BR100 connected directly to the Base Station. It simply sits on top of the Base Station, with no noticeable impact on range or wireless performance. I am able to listen to my music files throughout the entire house AND connect to Rhapsody’s online music service. The BR100 is easy to setup and, IMO, very cost effective.

Bought the Play 5 and this for a decent one room sound system, that will travel. It works and it does. Connect with your modem/router, install software, plug in the speaker wherever you want sound and sync and you have every sound selection and control available on your laptop or smartphone available locally or in the “cloud”. Too Cool. Works well, effortless.

ITS A MUST BUY IF YOU HAVE A SONOS PLAYER OR/AND A SONOS SPEAKER, EASY TO INSTALL AND EASY TO USE!

You can also create playlists. 3. Music Discovery Of course, having your entire music collection easily accessible is great. But the Sonos system goes much further. I was pleasantly surprised after I started using my Sonos system to see some excellent music discovery options I had not known about before. Through the Sonos system, you can access Pandora (the free Internet radio service) and play it through your stereo speakers. You can also access radio stations from around the world and play them live over your stereo system. I’ve enjoyed cruising my local radio stations, or stations from around the world. You can find stations in obvious places like the US, Europe, Africa, and South America. But you can also find them in remote areas of the South Pacific, Asia, Antarctica (I’m not kidding), and places you may have never heard of before. It seems as though almost every corner of the globe is represented in this system. If you find a station you like, you can bookmark it as a favorite. It is important to point out that when you play a radio station through this system, it is not a canned pre-recorded program.

View Product Details & Features about Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/RN46-1 3/4-Inch to 1-3/4-Inch Coil Roofing Nailer Go! »

I can tell from the look of it that it has been used many times. There are scratches everywhere and the black paint has faded somewhat. Yet this nailer works wonderfully. I used it to nail the drip edges, the felt paper and of course the shingles. I have finished half of the roof and am waiting for a nice weekend to finish off to other half. Since it’s $40/day to rent from Home Depot, this nailer is well worth it at this price. Really recommend to the do-it-yourselfers who are crazy enough to want to do the roof themselves.

Got the roof done last week. It shipped on level 5 of 5 so it shot thru the first shingle. Dial on front. I had to have it at 1 of 5 for my situation. Shoots 85% flat heads (not cusped at all). It shoots straight in 99%. Both better than I’m used to. It jammed once and just had to shot a dozen blanks rapid fire to get the little piece of metal out of the cylinder. Best feature compared to other guns I’ve used (rented) is it shoots every nail. The last nail does not fall out when you shoot the penultimate nail. I think on the entire roof, it shot double-fire about 10 times. It has a lighter trigger than I would have designed. Generic coils worked great with it. The gun is lightweight in my book; feels like a finish gun.

This product is very good. It looked as if it was brand new. I was very impressed with the way it performed. I recommend that if you need new tools for your roofing company this is the product you should buy.

This has been a great buy. It works just like a new one. You can see on the back where it was reconditioned and some repainting. But that does not affect its functionality. It has been a great purchase for me.

I purchased this gun to do a roofing job on my camp in Maine. I am doing the roof in sections and finished the dormer first. I put down about a square and a half and had only one jam which was easily fixed. The nailer looked new except for a small amount of scratching on the nose which contact the shingle. No surprise here, shingles are abrasive. This is not the first rebuilt tool I have purchased and will not be the last. I have had good luck with every one.

Even using it with my small one gallon Senco “hot dog” compressor, I can get quite a few shots off before the Senco cycles. I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve been a happy Bostitch user for a long time now, also owning a 23ga. pinner and an 18ga. finish nailer. This being my first “reconditioned” nailer purchase, I’m very satisfied. Bostitch continue to live up to their reputation. Definitely pro grade and quality. Thank you!

View Product Details & Features about Holmes HWF100 Humidifier Replacement Filter, Set of 3 Go! »

I needed a replacement filter for my humidifier. This worked perfectly. It is great to be able find just about anything you need from your computer.

The original equipment replacement filters (with arm & hammer treatment) last over three times as long as the cheaper knock offs that get moldy and disgusting after 3-4 weeks. Just remember that they ship three filters at a time, and my humidifier only takes two.

This is a great deal! I was very pleased at the price of the product, the quality of the product! Super fast S&H! This is a great deal!

From the moment I turn on my furnace for the winter I need to have my humidifier running. These are the most convenient and longest lasting filters that I have used. Most of my humidifiers never get used after the first season due to being more of a pain than anything. The humidifier that these fit has been with me for 3 seasons now.

They keep the humidifier working well, and this was the best deal I found on the internet.

Could not find the right filters for the humidifier we owned until we looked on Amazon. No only were they bundled to save money but were shipped quickly. Up and running in no time.

It was exactly what it was advertised to be. I got it when they said they would. No complaints.

would this filter work in an older humidfier with a different model no. worked fine exact fit, great price too,although would be better if sold in lots of 2 or 4 since it takes two .

Everything came out as expected – Product, Service and Delivery. The filters were exactly what I wanted and the quality was excellent.

I bought these filters to replace the “lifetime” filters that came with my humidifier. These filters work much better and have lasted much longer that I expected. I will definitely buy them again when the 6 I already bought are used!

Walmart in my area, St. Louis carries the same filter but has Sunbeam package Filter # hwf100 / sf235 for $8.00 for the 3 pack. The package says different Humidifiers that it will fit. Holmes & Sunbeam are 2 of them.

After trying all my local retailers (who sell this humidifier) nobody had these in stock. So, Amazon comes thru again with a great product at a great price. Thanks!

Doesn’t fit exactly like the original (I have an older model Holmes), but it works just fine.

Was having a hard time finding these locally. These are OEM quality. For me their mode of failure was always bacteria smell. I throw them away at the end of the season anyway and start with a new set the next year. But I was having to replace them occasionally because of the smell. When I would open up the unit, these filters would be discolored and stinky slimy. I tried Humidifier Bacteriostatic Water Treatment. Found this on Amazon as well. Just put a cap full in the water reservoir every couple of changes and the filters stay nice all season.

View Product Details & Features about Delonghi TRD0715T Safe Heat Oil-Filled Radiator Go! »

I just purchased this heater and after the first day of use I am very satisfied. There was a smell at the initial start up which others have noted but it was insignificant after about 3 hours of use. The smell results from a chemical which they use to prevent the metal from rusting during shipping. At high heat this chemical burns off and there is an unpleasent odor that comes off. After around 2-3 hours most of the chemical and smell are gone. After that this heater warms up a room pretty quick even on the first setting. My room is fairly small so I am not sure if the first setting could warm up a much larger room. Using the third setting burns approximately 1500W compared to 700W at the first setting so there is a massive energy consumption difference. Overall, this heater is going to keep me warm during the notoriously long and cold Wisconsin winters!

I read the reviews and decided to try the Delonghi TRD0715T heater based on those reviews. First it’s a very well made sturdy appliance unlike other heaters I’ve seen in stores. However it didn’t work for my intended purposes, which doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work for someone else’s intended purposes. This heater is designed for smaller rooms to about 14′ by 14′, anything much larger then that it will not heat sufficiently enough on cold days, though it could work fine for supplemental heat in larger rooms. Because the heat is not radiant heat you won’t feel the heat right away until the room warms up, this was our problem that we didn’t realize, my wife wanted to feel the heat right away, and because it was in a much larger room then it should have been in she couldn’t get warm with it even though it was within 2 feet of where she was sitting. Most of the heat, about 95% of the heat from this unit comes pouring out of the top of the unit which is why you’re not going to feel it coming at you.

Buy this great product 3 months ago. What I like is that it is very quiet when it working. It cannot warm very quickly, you need to wait 5 minutes, which is totally fine to me. And it has 4 wheels, I can put it everywhere in my room, which is very convenient. It doesn’t have any bad smell and it just simply need to plug in and then it can works very well.

These heaters work great! I have an in law apartment (900 sq. ft.) that I converted to oil heat 3 years ago from electric heat. This being 2008 and oil being at $4.00 a gallon, I considered to “convert” back to electric. I purchased 4 of these radiators and showed my mother in law how to use them. She puts them on level one at 1/3 the way on the heat switch and her apartment is warm within 15 minutes. She has her regular oil heat thermostat set on 55 degrees and uses these as a main heat source. It’s a shame that oil heat is now more expensive than electric heat, but I am glad that she can now “switch” between each energy source and I get to choose which one is cheaper seeing I pay the bill.

View Product Details & Features about Gilmour 20-58100 20 Series Platinum 5/8-Inch-by-100-Foot 8-Ply Flexogen Hose, Platinum Go! »

I was worried it was a lot to spend for a hose. Now I’m going to get one for the back yard too. Totally worth it… DOES NOT KINK, and it’s EASY to coil up. Pretty important for the 100′ of hose.

this is a great garden hose, its very durable and well made. for people that are crying about hose kinking they are idiots. i am a fireman and we use hose under very high pressures 150-300psi and we still need to worry about hose getting kinks in it. so yes there is always the possibility that the hose will kink but this is very nice hose that will not kink nearly as much as some of the cheap pieces of junk you can buy. i would purchase this product again.

Here is an impressive hose. Imagine 8-ply, brass hardware, a quality-build all the way around. We’re glad we ordered the 100-foot length. We love the first one and had to order a second. My wife likes it so much that she’s paying for the second hose. It’s light, strong, doesn’t kink. What else could anyone want?

I HAVE PURCHASED MANY GILMORE HOSES OVER THE YEARS BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BETTER THAN MOST BRANDS THEY STILL KINK. THE NEW PLATINUM HOSE IS MUCH SUPERIOR AND EVEN REWINDS VERY EASILY.

This is the best hose I’ve bought so far… and the price was great! It may not be “kink-free,” kinda like no iron shirts still get wrinkled… but there is a definite difference between my old hoses, and this one. love it, and plan on buying another for the backyard too…

I have only had this for a few weeks but it is hands down the best hose I have owned. It connects by hand with no leakinng problems and it just will not kink.

Buying made in the Usa should be the main cause for buying this. Second is the quality. I have watered extensively with this hose and a Dramm hose nozzle I bought here on Amazon.. This is guaranteed for life and I keep receipts so if it ever goes the good folks will send me another. Win-Win

This hose is as good as a hose can get. Kinking is definitely minimal and water flow is strong. It’s nice to have the twist friendly plastic piece on the end of the hose that connects to the water spicket and the coil to prevent creasing. The other end of the hose is solid and well made making me think that it’s going to be many years before I even think about replacing it. The hose is a good color because it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb when looking at your house like the common extreme green and blue colors do. I thought about going to a 3/4 inch but this sucker has more than enough water flow. If you use your hose even slightly regularly, it is definitely worth investing in getting a decent one because you will constantly be disappointed by the ten buck one!

This is the finest hose we have ever owned: strong; no leaks; coils with ease; good looking; fairly priced; light weight; intelligently designed. We think this may be the last hose we will ever purchase. It is a rare pleasure to find a First Class garden product made in America. Our purchase of the Gilmour 20-58100 20 Series through Amazon.com was easy and saved us 25% over the cheapest price we found elsewhere — and, it was delivered right to our doorstep, at no charge. You can’t beat that! If you want quality, durability, ease of handling and dependability at a fair price (for an American-made product), then look no further: Gilmour’s Platinum Series 8-gauge 20-58100 20 Series is what you need. SUMMARY: Watering is now fun again!

I don’t know what to say other than it worked exactly (or better) than I would have expected. To other people’s points, yes thin mud is generally better and reduces ‘glopping’ out of the nozzle (as does buying one of those mixer attachments for your drill and making sure its mixed well). BTW, if you get the aluminum mixer that looks like a big set of mixing beaters run it backwards or the sharp outer edge will shave off bits of plastic from the mixing container and you’ll have these bits of plastic shards in your mud. (lesson learned). For each box of standard cheapo brand mud from home depot I added about 2 liters of water. I kept mine a bit on the thick side (like normal pancake batter) because I wanted a pretty rough and heavy texture for the garage and used the large (yellow) nozzle. I was impressed at the imperfections in my sheetrock work that I was able to hide using this. It greatly reduced my sheetrock taping time (I HATE sanding). Just don’t try to put it on too heavy in a single coat or the texture just sort of mushes and eventually would run.

Bought this to shoot on a knockdown finish in a couple of rooms I’m remodeling in our house. I have always contracted this out in the past, but it didn’t look too tough, so I thought I’d give it a try. Bought this because of the cost, it’s self-contained, and the overall positive reviews. The sprayer worked great! Got a nice finish first time out of the box. Cleanup was easy too. Many of the reviews said something to the effect that is good primarily for small jobs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it on about any job.

This tool did everything I needed it to do, but I sure am glad I read all of the reviews here. Thanks to the suggestions and advice from other owners, my first experience with wall texturing went very well. -read all the reviews -practice -expect success

I set the sprayer on the floor and poured the texture compound into the hopper from my bucket – but with the hopper towards the front, as soon as I turned away to set the bucket down, the hopper fell over So if your going to fill the hopper by setting it on the floor, rotate the hopper to the back or be careful. One other thing that I was glad I bought was a drywall “squeege” for the knockdown. It looks like a window squeege, with a rubber edge and is about 24″ wide. It worked much better than a metal drywall knife that I also tried using. All in all, it was a lot of work, it made quite a mess, but I was very pleased in the way it turned out. Clean up was very easy, and I would definitely but this sprayer again. Now that I have some experience with it, there are some places inside my house that need some work…

This lock has been one of the best things I’ve installed in my house. It took me 5-10 minutes to install the lock. It was very easy. The lock works great. It is easy to program your own code and you can even add additional codes.

Have had it installed about a month. Installation was quick after we realized that the hole for the lock needed to be bigger than our existing old hole. It seems new locks require about a 2 5/8″ hole instead of the old 1 3/4″ diameter hole. If you have an older smaller lock, beware you will need to buy some extra hardware to enlarge the hole. Easy to install. Caution: there are two door jamb bolt face plates in both colors. They provide you with 4 faceplates, two brass and two bronze. Only one of them fit our existing spot for the faceplate so we had to go with that one. Functions easily and as described. No more being locked out of the house. Another note: you may want to add a deadbolt reinforcer. This lock is grade 2 instead of grade 1, but even if it were grade 1, I would still install one. I’m upgrading my other doors with deadbolt reinforcement hardware as well. There are some consumer test websites that show their increased effectiveness against someone trying to break into your place through a doorway.

I bought this a while back, recently installed a new door and put this in. easy to install, other than some minor carpentry because the door frame was not cut for this deep of a deadbolt. Issue on my end, not a the product. Simple to program, simple to operate. I can’t really think of any improvement that can be made to this product.

A few years ago I installed one of these deadbolts at my lake house and loved it. Now I have one at my cabin and it looks great and has that rustic look. You cant find this color at any store either. It is so nice not to have to worry about keys and know that workmen can come in on their code, do their work then I can delete it and not worry about anyone who is dishonest making a duplicate key for later. I’ll never get locked out again!

View Product Details & Features about Werner MT-22 300-Pound Duty Rating Telescoping Multi-Ladder, 22-Foot Go! »

I am not one for doing many projects around the house, a trait that I am not proud of, but with which I am coming to grips. I am slowly improving, and this ladder is part of the reason. I actually bought the 13 foot model, but returned it and went with this one because it would allow me to reach more areas of my house. I only want one ladder, so it needs to be able to do it all. I am no expert, but this ladder was very easy to set up, seems very secure – even with my plus size frame, and yet is still relatively easy to store. When closed, it seems to be around 6 feet tall and 18 inches wide, not much of a storage problem for such a handy piece of equipment. It also arrived sooner than anticipated, in just a couple of days. Again, do your research, find a something you are comfortable with, but I am confident you’ll be very happy with this ladder. Maybe the reason I’m not handier is that I simply don’t have enough toys. I’ll have to look into that.

I love it and using this and not the typical step ladder is keeping me safe!

So I saw this on sale many times and bugged my husband for it. We finally got it in order to tackle our roof and it was an awesome purchase. The ladder is easy to use and convert. It is also very sturdy and versatile. I would suggest this type of ladder to anyone looking for one because it will get you through the smaller jobs just the same as the tougher ones.

Although I have a few possible uses for this configuration, the cost of an adjustable plank will run 50-75% more than the ladder and require re-setting trestles and plank movements. I ended up purchasing a 4′mobile aluminum set of mini-scaffolding that is very portable, light, rated for 600# and easy to set up (but that will be in another review)! *Accessories- Werner has a Step Platform (AC18MT) for use with all of its multi-ladders that is rated for 300lbs, is also very solid and very easy to use. It offers a wide and secure platform to stand on or support tools and equipment at any of the rung levels. We don’t leave home without it! Many reviewers comment and complain that this ladder and all multi-use ladders are heavy (all relevant). If you compare apples to apples (1A ratings and Aluminum construction), you’ll find all Equally rated multi-use ladders have a major trade-off compared to their single use step or extension cousins…WEIGHT (20-25% more)! Inherent to a safe multi-function design (ladder within a ladder), the aluminum has to be stronger & thicker to provide equal strength and reliability, equating to a heavier overall product! Aluminum is still the lightest material vs strength for this type of tool.
