    Nice product, Works like any other CD player. Good quality. Only issue I had to buy another 4 plug component for my HDMI cables. My Dell computer didn't have enough of those outlets. All is very good.

    This is a great little antenna! I used it for my "bedroom" flat screen, put it up with its form stickies on my window and I get about 20 channels including all the locals.

    This comes in handy when you need a DVD player or a burner for your laptop or desktop that doesn't have a drive especially for the newer ones. Works great and have not had any issues with it. Very reliable.

    This pressure cooker with so many other options was everything the reviews said. Only 2 issues is there is no cookbook included (only 2 recipes). I also read in the instruction book not to cook pasta or noodles in the pressure cooker which I did not know. I don't think that applies if you use the slow cooker option.
