HP M1522nf LaserJet Multifunction Printer with Fax Bundle

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Office Electronics
from: Hewlett Packard


Prints fast and clear documents. Scanner is also very good. Copier function more than adequate. Fax seems to work well also. For the money ($199) it is a bargain. Laser is the way to go for this type of machine. Inkjets are too costly to operate with the price for color ink. I highly recommend this for home and home office applications.

HP 12C Platinum Financial Calculator

I bought this 25th Anniversary Edition HP-12C for my economics papers at Uni. Has been one of the best purchases I have made and I could only recommend this whole heartily to anyone in the field.

I have found the build quality to be excellent and the prodigious 250 page manual informative to pick through. It does leads me to wonder why Reverse Polish Notation calculators are not more widely used by the public at large. Regardless, this is one device worth holding onto.

Canon MP980 All-In-One Photo Printer (2922B002)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Office Electronics
from: Canon Office Products


I was looking for a good all-around color printer for printing on both plain paper and also for high quality photo prints. The MP980 was a new model, but the specs were excellent. When I ordered it, there were no reviews yet. My first unit had a problem with the built-in display screen. I called customer support and they immediately shipped me a new unit. I had some issues getting the drivers installed - it took me 3 trys, but once installed, the wireless network setup worked the first time. The driver install problems were probably do to the security software installed on my PC by my employer. I've had similar issues with other software. The built-in wireless capability is great - it was an important feature for me. I really like the two paper ... Read More:

Canon Pixma MP470 Photo All-In-One Inkjet Printer (2177B002)

I've had my printer for about 10 months. I loved it in the beginning. For the price, I thought it was a great printer (and still do think the quality printing is good). My problem is that after about 5 months, the paper feeder would no longer feed paper into the printer. The rollers would roll, but wouldn't catch the paper to feed it in. I called Canon and they sent me a refurbished one to replace it and paid the shipping to return the old one. I was happy with their prompt response, and I do disagree with reviews saying Canon's service is bad. I would give this product 4 stars, but I'm waiting to see if I'll have the same problem with my replacement printer first.

Printer setup not included with package but it was easy to accomplish anyway. Be sure to order a USB to printer cable (not included).

Brother MFC-6490cw Professional Series Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer with Wireless Networking

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Office Electronics
from: Brother Printer


I really needed a low cost printer with 11x17 capability and this printer is the perfect solution. Easy to set up. Works great. Very good print quality for an ink jet. The software is excellent. Only negative is I wish there was a manual feed option for instances when I need to print an envelope or a paper size not already in tray #1 or #2. But overall, this printer is much better than the HP all in one in my opinion.

Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype with Boingo Hot Spot Manager ( F1PP000GN-SK )

This phone is a neat idea executed horribly. Generally a poor user interface. Very poor call quality - echo and static (even standing right next to the wireless router). Sound quality is abysmal, everything sounds tinny and flat. The worst part is the charge lasts for almost no time, I just used it with 80% charge showing and it died 12min into the call! No warning that the battery is low.

Save your money. I hope the next generation of wifi VoIP phones get a whole bunch better.

Sony ICDUX70RED Digital Voice Recorder MP3 Stereo Recording and Playback

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Office Electronics
from: Sony


Really wanted to like this product. But, unfortunately, I had to return it.

I didn't like the small buttons, kept trying to push enter and kept getting volume. Those tiny little speakers on the side are terrible. Also, screen is a little small and hard to see.

If you use the ear buds, sound is great. But I just wanted a simple recorder to make quick notes to my self.

Brother MFC-465cn Color Inkjet Multi-Function Center with Networking

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Office Electronics
from: Brother


You will be disappointed in this printer. It promises much but delivers poorly. The most annoying thing is its inability to do really basic things...

Biggest problems:
1) constant jams (when picture printing)
2) general misfeeding of paper
3) often feeds multiple pages at a time (making duplex printing nearly impossible since it constantly turns out wrong)

For a printer with so many features it should have a software feature for printing duplex (telling you how to put the paper back in)...but don't waste your time figuring it out on your own since the printer will simply double-feed pages and ruin your attempts at saving paper anyways.

In summary, there are many great features offered by this printer, but what good are all the fancy bells ... Read More:
