Make the most of your space with this Epson Expression inkjet printer. It lets you print, scan and copy, yet it takes up very little room thanks to its compact design, and it also includes a full-color screen. Enjoy printing speeds of up to 13 ppm in black or 10 ppm in color from this Epson Expression inkjet printer.

Good printer, software problems
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: Rick
from Eastern Iowa
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good printer for the price ... if I wasn't having software/driver problems between it and my computer (Lenovo running Windows 10 Home). I bought the printer chiefly for its ability to print directly on CD's, but now get a "driver not installed" message. Microsoft can't help, and I can only find one work-around after downloading and re-installing Epson's complete software/driver package. Like I said, the printer seems fine ... but the software (or its compatibility with my computer or OS) is very lacking.

Cover your Samsung Galaxy J3 with this ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protector. It protects your smartphone from screen damage caused by some drops and bumps and reduces scratches that occur as the phone is tucked into bags or pockets. This ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protector is hardly noticeable and maintains all touch-screen functionality.

Threw it away!

I saw this screen protector at what seemed like a good price, only to learn it would cost almost as much for a Best Buy tech to install it as the purchase price. I brought it home, tried to install it myself ... but couldn't get all the bubbles out or get it to adhere to the edges of the screen. After much frustration, I peeled it off to start over - only to have it crease and make any future attempt worthless. I tossed it in the wastebasket. The only thing I have left from the package is what turned out to be a very high priced small screen cleaning cloth.

Good drive for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a backup external hard drive with fairly large capacity, and found this on sale. Set up was easy, seems to work well ... but always comes up with a message that some items were not backed up. When I look to find out what wasn't, I have no idea what the "code" is - so I don't really know if its something essential or something I won't really need in the future.

Like I said on a different color model, this probably doesn't have enough power to really be a "charger," but it will be OK as a stand-by when my smartphone or tablet is about out of power. The only reason I say "no" on recommending this items is price. I bought it on clearance for a good price, but I think anything higher would be too much.

OK for my need

I bought a (used) HP printer that qualified for instant ink but needed to print before the cartridges could be shipped. I used these for about a week until the larger Instant Ink carts arrived, and now have them in sealed plastic bags if needed for future emergency use.

Does its job well
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: Rick
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've tried several methods for transferring material from my PC to my smartphone and tablet. This is by far the easiest I've found. I use its wireless connectivity to and from the tablet and phone, and just plug it into the USB port to do the same on the PC. To me, its easier than even using a USB cord between them, and its fast and simple. I got the 32g version since I don't do a lot of transferring and I can clear it of files, photos, etc. after making a transfer. Some other "transfer sticks" require OTG capability on the Android end, and that seems to be pretty hard to find. The only shortcoming I can see is the fact that you've got to switch your device to its WiFi, and remember to switch back to your regular network when you're done with a transfer.

A very basic tablet ... and a very low price. Glad I bought it as a back-up to my PC, laptop and smartphone, but wouldn't recommend it for anyone wanting it as their main internet source. Fair battery life, good graphics, normal Android operation but, like I said, very basic.

Store this pack of 48 AAA batteries so you always have some handy. With bulk alkaline batteries in the drawer, you don't have to run to the store every time you get a new device or battery-powered toy. These 48 AAA batteries are the right size to power many small toys, gadgets and remote controls.

I have no way of knowing how long the life is on these batteries. At their price, they're good for everyday purposes but I won't trust them for anything needing a long lifespan.

Keep your devices powered up with this pack of 48 AA batteries. Keeping stock on hand lets you quickly change batteries in remote controls, toys, digital cameras or flashlights to reduce loss of functionality. This pack of 48 AA batteries has a long shelf life, so you don't have to worry about performance when you are ready to install them.

OK batteries, not sure their power rating or life

These seem to work OK, but I don't yet know how long they'll last. For the price I'm willing to change fairly often ... but will use more highly rated batteries in things like my wireless mouse.

Didn't work for me
on February 17, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a Bluetooth speaker to use with my mp3 player. It won't pair. The player is a new SanDisk model and I worked with their customer support ... all the way to getting a replacement player under warranty. Still, it won't pair. Plus I bought this based on speaker grill size, only to learn on taking it out of the package that the speaker is actually much smaller. Good thing I bought it on clearance.

(I don's have a CD player in my Transit van.) Is there a car power adapter for this unit? Can I use the Bluetooth feature to play though my Bluetooth enabled radio?

Yes, that's the main reason I bought it.

Will this play an audio file off of a USB thumb drive?

It has a USB jack, and I'm told it will play from a thumb drive but I've never tried it.

One of the reviews says this is hard to put on. Are these screen proctors hard to install?

Yes. My installation attempts were a failure, and I threw the whole thing away.
