Returned for exchange
One bad key on keypad. Returned for exchange. Radio seemed to work fine otherwise. Replacement has arrived. No sticky keys yet. All appears good. Will update if anything changes. Amazon is great. Now for the positive, this little radio is amazing. If you are in range of a repeater then your actual range is almost unlimited. I've talked to folks in TX, OK, LA and AR. This is my second Baofeng handheld. First one is two years old and still working well. I strongly recommend Ham radio as a hobby and an emergency method of communication when and/or if all else fails. As someone who first built a HeathKit radio back in 1957 I can tell you Ham has never been more affordable than now. If you have been considering one of these radios you should go ahead and jump in. You won't regret the purchase. You will need an easy to get license to transmit, but it is worth the effort. There is plenty of online help available including sample test questions. No Morris code needed to get your license. Check out YouTube for reviews of the Baofeng BF-F8HP. Also see Youtube for help with your license test.

Great versatile unit
So we have an original Keurig...it suddenly stopped brewing. We bought this one...so much better = more sizes and brews tea. We decided to test out the old one before disposal. Yep, you guessed it...it is working fine once again. But the new one has so many nice features...we prefer this unit better.

Was hesitant to purchase as a refurb
was hesitant to purchase at first as a refurbished drive.Did vibration test and checked all SMARTs - drive arrived in mint condition. All SMART values in the green.Im using it as 24/7 file server in OVM in Promox and its working like a champ. Maybe I got lucky.

Easy to swallow pills
I’ve been taking them everyday so help get stronger bones. I haven’t had a bone density test done, but I’m hoping they’re working. I like that they’re small and gel coated and easy to swallow.

It does what it claims, excellent camera
The product performed exactly as advertised. Easy to set up, intuitive on screen guide. Nice LCD screen for set up and review.Unfortunate that the first camera received had a non-working sensor. Both peripheral sensors worked fine but the center sensor did not. So, camera was returned and exchanged overnight by Amazon.The second camera received is reflected in this review only.I would recommend the produce, just thoroughly examine and test when received.

Great camera at a good price. Akaso Customer Servi
Had an issue with the first camera I received. Failed pretty quickly and I didn't have a chance to use it.*** UPDATE ***Akaso CS has contacted me to provide a replacement at no cost. I can vouch for their customer service having interest in resolving the situation, since I have seen similar comments on 1 star reviews here.*** UPDATE #2 ***Received my replacement and the camera is working as expected. Haven't been able to fully test it, but everything is working properly so far.Bumping my review to 4.5 stars since Akaso Customer Support was great, and the camera seems to be doing everything I hoped it would.

Review after nearly 7 years.
I got this back in Dec 13' and it still works without any problems. I think the design of these hard drives is much more reliable than the tower design hard drives. Most of those that I've had stopped working after a few years, but these have stood the test of time so far.

Good product — reasonable price.
Slow to write, as are all similar USB 2.0 flash drives. Reads quickly enough though. The LED indicator under the red slider is convenient, so you know when it's working. But the LED slowly blinks on and off when it's also doing nothing. (minus 1 star)Upon arrival, I fully tested the drive, which is a good idea for any storage media. It took around two full days to test every bit.

Easy Setup and Straight Forward Directions
I had my doubts about this working with my current HVAC system that is about 20 to 30 years old. But I followed the directions along with a little help from the nest website and I was up and running within 15 minutes. Setup is super easy. I'm very happy how it allows you to test the system before activating it. Overall the setup was super easy. If I were to recommend it to anyone I would say go for it.
