Setting this up and filling it with water took a bit of figuring out but the instructions were accurate. It performed as advertised and we recommend it.

Add moisture to the air with this Vornado humidifier. It transforms up to 1 gallon of water into moistened air every 24 hours so you can breathe easier, and its 6-foot power cord lets you move it to the most convenient position. Add humidity to a room of up to 300 square feet with this Vornado humidifier.

The unit was very easy to assemble and the instructions were clear. It seemed well-designed and it was easy to fill with water and start up. It was silent in operation and provided a good increase in humidity.

Why didn't I do this earlier?

This is a simple straight-forward cooking device that works exactly as advertised. We've used it with frozen slow-cooker meals from Omaha steaks and the results are at least as good as the restaurants here in Vacaville CA with about 5 minutes work. We saved the price of the cooker in the first two meals by eating in, in quiet comfortable surroundings. We are retired and find the simplicity of the cooker and the quality of the food it produces significantly enhance our quality of life.

Fine computer let down by the graphics card
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: Harry

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this computer for processing photographs, mainly with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and occasionally with Photoshop itself. I also use it for household "stuff" like budgeting ... . The computer feels responsive, is reasonably quiet, and the matte black finish is not intrusive. (The window faces the wall in my set-up.)
There are two USB 3.0 ports on the top, but no recess for my portable hard drive to fit in; this is the drive on which I record my photos in the field and then plug in to import the images into Lightroom which stores them on another, larger, external hard drive. The internal mechanical hard drive is just about large enough for day-to-day computing but quite inadequate for a significant database.
Unfortunately, the computer didn't work on delivery. It was "spec'd" for me by the Vacaville Best Buy store specifically to run my "5k" monitor but the graphics card was not able to run this monitor. This was very disappointing and a serious inconvenience but Best Buy did replace the graphics card with a suitable one. Now everything is running smoothly.

I took this drive with my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 mini-laptop (Windows 8.1) to a Death Valley photographic workshop where I downloaded each day's shots to the external drive and did some rating and processing. When I got home, I plugged the drive into my desktop computer (Windows 10) and continued to work on the images. It was very smooth and convenient; no glitches or significant set-up processes; it just worked.

Solid, no-frills, vacuum cleaner

Feels solid and appears to be of high quality. My wife and I are retired but can handle the cleaner without difficulty, although it is quite heavy. It removes normal soiling and dust etc tracked in very easily and the container is easy to empty and replace. We wanted a basic machine that would do an excellent job with a minimum of fuss; we're very satisfied.

Cleans well but needs a lot of attention
on November 24, 2015
Posted by: Harry

Verified Purchase:Yes
We used this robot vacuum cleaner in our 1600 sq ft single-story house which is mostly carpeted with some tile floors. The layout is a bit complex with a central "great room" and all the others rooms opening off this one. We tried locating the docking station in this room or in the kitchen. In neither case did the cleaner get to all the rooms and it took three cycles of charging to do the parts it got to. We found we had to move smaller items of furniture off the floor and it had trouble with the small tassels on a mat so we had to take that up too. It took all day for 3 cycles; quite a long time for everything to be off the floor which was needed because the robot didn't do one room at a time (the manual warns of this) but could return to a room or area several times during one cleaning cycle. It s also a bit noisy and probably would be too noisy to run overnight, although we didn't try this. Overall, it cleans well but has trouble with complex layouts and takes much longer than doing it by hand would.

Our previous computer was struggling with basic Internet games, particularly Words with Friends scrabble. The Asus is a major improvement and all the hassles went away. So far, there have been absolutely no hiccups or disappointments. It sits on the desk behind the screen and is really not intrusive although the black color doesn't suit our office décor. Highly recommended.

I use a pair of these speakers for the rear sound in a 5.0 surround sound system. The sound is very clear and well-defined in the Blu-ray films we watch. The white paint and light aluminum colors fit our room décor well. Highly recommended..

2.4ghz only? Other wireless devices can interfere?
I'm in a small apartment, with a wireless router and various other wireless devices... many that are operating on 2.4ghz. I am planning on getting a new Yamaha 5.1 receiver with built in Airplay and Wifi so I can use my Android Tablet to control the stereo through the Wifi...
Won't this 2.4ghz only on this Rocketfish have problems with all of that?? Some friends tell me that you won't actually HEAR much difference in the speaker audio but that other devices might be forced to accept a much weaker signal and be handicapped by it...

This bothered me, too, but we installed anyway and I have seen no evidence of interference affecting the sound or the WiFi or anything else.

in using this unit can you put speakers like 12 foot apart
can you use this unit so that 1 speaker is on 1 side of the room and the other speaker is on the other side of the room,,,,,,,,,with out having to run like 12 foot of wire?? the wire included is 2 foot,,,,,does this mean you have to have your speakers next to each other.
We have two rear speakers separated by a doorway which sounds similar to your problem. We used two sets of transmitter-receiver, one for each rear speaker. It works fine.

Quad RF-WHT1B Set-up ?
Room configuration is such that my HK audio receiver will be located on a long side wall of a rectangular room with no ability to run speaker cable to any remotely placed speaker. Speakers (RF,LF,RR.LR) will be located in each corner of the room (power supply available at each corner). Is it feasible to use 4 RF-WHT1B transmitters to individually send audio signals to 4 RF-WHT1B receivers/speakers (RF,LF,RR,LR) ? Each RF-WHT1B transmitter would be connected to the appropriate speaker output terminals on the back of the HK audio receiver (RF,LF,RR,LR) so that the individual audio channels are directed to the corresponding RF-WHT1B receivers and their speakers.
I don't know about 4 speakers but we do what you suggest with two rear speakers and it works perfectly.
