Awesome in every way

I was in awe of the graphics on this one from the opening scene. I am very much into graphics and this one hit spot on.
The story line is excellent. I only hate that there is no two player mode for my kid and I to adventure together, that would have saved me from having to buy copies (yes I did).
So far, both of us are still thoroughly enthralled with this game even though I have a feeling we are both coming to the end of the story.
This game is so good it will go onto a shelf and be broken out to be played again instead of being traded.
What's great about it: The graphis are the best I've ever seen
What's not so great: no dual player mode
I would recommend this to a friend!

Yes! This would have been it!!!

When I first started watching this Blu-Ray, I was saddened being reminded how badly he had destroyed his appearance over the years. Even so, once the music started, I could see nothing but the MJ I remember, the star of the show.
It did make me sad that this show would never be produced, it would have been one heck of a show.
I do want to add this though, even after the credits rolled, I continued to sit, hoping for just a little more footage. I have never been one to sit through the credits of anything, but this had me transfixed. We lost someone special when we lost MJ.
I just wish the estate would not try and take advantage of the fans that loved him with these prices.
What's great about it: Classic Michael
What's not so great: The Price

There is no need to worry about the damage to nonstick surfaces in your pots and pans with this dishwasher that features racks with ball-tip tines that gently secure items without scratching the surfaces. The tiered upper high-side rack easily accommodates a variety of dish sizes.

I Loved it Until......

from Columbus, Ga.
After a year and a half of daily use (sometimes twice daily) LOVED this thing. It did a great job on cleaning dishes even though the food dispenser could get a little loud if there were things like peas or dried rice on the plates or in the bottom of the machine at wash time(kids). Unfortunately my control panel went out and it seems VERY hard to get replacement parts from the manufacutrer. I have been waiting almost two months now.
I actually loved the thing so much when it WAS working that I waited this long (really did not want to have to get a new one). Hopefully my parts will come in before the replacement is approved.
Only rated it three stars due to problems getting it repaired, otherwise, it would have been 5 stars all the way.
What's great about it: Easy to use, easy to manuver (even on carpet), great clean
What's not so great: Seems Parts are hard to get for repair
I would recommend this to a friend!

1 out of 5For Clean floors only!

I looked online for this machine, the scrubber vs the steam cleaner. I thought, "scrubbers" oh nice, this should clean everything I need cleaning. Excited, purchased online, picked up, took home opened and assembled read directions which we men do, sometimes, and then started it up! I watched in sheer and utter disappointment as the water wet the floor, listening to the loud vacuum sucking up the water all while those nice counter rotating brushes did absolutely nothing. Yes they did spin, just good enough to rub the floor like wiping a counter top. I recommend this model for folks whose floor is already clean and just needs a nice light touch. But any thing more than that this machine is not made to really clean! Its more like a rub than a scrub! I returned the item the same day!

Sorry about that

Sorry you had the issue. I bought this model and had a few 'serious' stuck on gunk spots on stone if the kitchen and a couple of difficult ones on my hard flooring. It did require a couple of slow passes but worked like a charm for me.

Overall3 out of 5
3 out of 5Pretty good budget priced tablet
By Brammy

Let me start this review by admitting that I expected to throughly hate this tablet when received. I have gotten a bit spoiled by "premium" tablets and my previous experience with "budget" tablets has been less than stellar. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised.
The tablet feels sturdy. Due to the weight, this would not be a tablet for long term hand held use i.e. reading. If you are going to purchase this, invest in a cover that also doubles as a stand. I had one at the ready when this one arrived. The textured back does give a better grip than many metal cases, this is a non-starter for me personally as I never use a device without a case. Acer, had an added surprised, which I immediately boned as the tablet arrived with a screen protector already installed. The only issue was the entire thing separated from the glass when pulling the tab.
The device is obviously meant to be used landscape mode and not portrait by the location of the camera and the rocker switch. This little oddity has taken a bit of getting use to since pressing the volume button in the traditional 'volume down' position actually increases volume and vise versa.
Asus has some great applications built in and I can say that I am very impressed with the floating application that allows you to keep your go to applications floating in a separate window on your screen. The split screen is awesome. Simply drag and resize or close depending on you preferences.
The tablet also includes the standard AC charger an USB cable. This cable is a bit short for my taste as it was barely long enough to go from the power strip and allow the tablet to sit on the table without being dangerously close to the edge. The instruction manual is minimal to say the least an your are provided a link to download the user guide.
I can say that, for the price point, Acer has outdone itself with this tablet on almost all fronts. I liked the tablet so much that my review kept fluctuating between the 4 and 3 star rating. I really had to tell myself that I had to keep in mind that this tablet did not come with a 600.00 entry point. If the issues that I noticed were corrected, this tablet could certainly double its price point.
The video is clear and crisp. For those who stated that their video was pixelated, there are a few tweaks in settings that allows this tablet to be truly HD when viewed. Although the video is clear, I have found that there is a slight hiccup in the fps that this tablet delivers when viewing movies in motion. It tends to stutter. This can be very disconcerting. The display offers great viewing angles, no more having your display dim out whenever you are not looking at it dead on.
The tablet comes with sufficient storage and if you need additional storage a 4.00 SD card allows you to expand it.
I won't get into the plastic casing not being high end. This is totally expected. Even though it does sport a plastic housing, that housing feels study and does not have the flex and give that I have noted on higher priced, lower quality tablets.
Here are my reasons for the star deductions:
1. Memory - Upon setting up the tablet I constantly got the 'Memory Low' warning. understanding that this may have occurred due to the number of downloads etc that I was importing from my other Android devices, I sort of blew it off. Upon further use I noted that no matter what I was running, I was constantly getting the memory low warning. It appears that simple systems services constantly use 50+ percent of memory and all else is gravy. At one point, while simply browsing the web,the entire tablet froze due to the footprint of Google Chrome and System Services. Because the Android system is not the most efficient manager of memory, I feel that the 1GB of memory for this particular tablet was a fatal mistake. I also noticed that although applications had been closed, the reserved memory was not cleared, therefore requiring constant clearing of memory which ends any process you are currently running. To avoid this, I have simply resorted to closing program, clearing memory, rinse and then repeat. While watching YouTube, I found that I was unable to set the video to 720, this was another issue of having to clear the memory. Once done, the video played as expected.
2. Audio: Although I am not an audiophile, Due to the tinny quality of the speakers, I found that when listening to content in Japanese, the audio quality was so poor that you could not make out the words. this was less of a problem in English as I am better able to follow and compensate. Upon trying both wired headsets and bluetooth headsets, I find that the audio is not as clear and does not offer the full surround sound quality expected and achieved from other devices even when playing hi-def audio tracks from my SD card.
The cameras are just ok, I have attached two photos, once of the actual Acer box. Compared to the IRL of this box, the camera seems to wash out. The second picture is a one of of my sneaker. Pictures of dark objects seem to fair much better as you can even see the scuffs on the white part and the pattern in the hardwood floors. In all reality, that background should have blurred but the rear facing camera did very well. The front facing camera, not so much. I attempted to video chat myself on my Android phone and the image was not even passable. The image from the phone to the tablet was as clear as the display would support.
This device did pair nicely with my wireless keyboard. Combined with a stand and a lap desk, I can easily see sing this device to type out notes on the go.
Final take - Great software, questionable hardware but definitely a great little budget tablet.
This would be a good tablet for a kid being supervised or a business owner that needed to take payments or check in. A workhorse this is not. Would I recommend it to a friend? Only after pointing them to this review and allowing them to experience this one. That recommendation could go either way.

Back for an update
May 21, 2016
After only a few days, the tablet is having a hard time picking up wireless networks. There are 6 networks total in my house, 2 main, 2 guest and 2 extenders but the tablet constantly says no network in range. This has been tested with the hotspots on mobile devices as well. A couple of restarts and it starts seeing networks again. After playing a rousing 2 hour marathon of Hay Day and noticeable lag, I noted memory was max above 80% and the memory doctor had angry lightening bolts before clearing. This was the only app open at the time.

Which one is better Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 or Acer Iconia one 10.1 for 10 years old boy, who used S. Galaxy 4 tablet 10.1 before?
For a 10 year old I would go with this one. Not so much heartache if it breaks.

Can this tablet be hooked to my HDTV for large screen viewing?
I do not believe the tablet supports micro sub to hdmi, however, you can use the Cast Screen setting with Google Chromecast. I was able to use it successfully with an Amazon Fire stick as well.
