Oil Filled Radiator Heater, Electric Space Heater, Portable, 1500W - LIVINGbasics®

It worked great sitting in one spot through the winter. But then as weather warmed I attempted to turn it down I discovered the 3-stage power knob will now only turn down from 3 to 2; so the knob can't be used to turn it off anymore. (It's attached to a power strip that I turn off every night, so it hasn't been running continuously and I hadn't noticed the broken knob earlier). And since making that discovery and adjustment, the unit doesn't heat at all, though the light comes on. I've unplugged it and replugged hours later, to no good result. In short, after 1 season, and an attempt to turn it down, it's junk. If you buy it, just turn it on and leave it on. Unplug to turn it off.

Universal Tabletop Stand for Flat Panel LCD TV 32" to 55" - PrimeCables®

5/5

The base is so big and sturdy it comfortably accommodates my centre channel speaker right under my 46" TV (I'm old school, with a 5-point full-range surround system) which is nice since most entertainment furniture now seems to assume you're going to use a soundbar. I get to have the speaker positioned where I need it, and its weight adds to the already rock-solid stability of the stand.

Mini Portable Vocal Recording Booth Microphone Isolation Shield - PrimeCables®

4/5

I'd give a perfect score if the thing had feet for sitting it on a desktop; it seems built only to mount on a mic stand. Of course you could sit it on whatever you wanted, but it's likely to scratch since it has no feet or any obvious place to put pads. I set it up using the Monoprice gooseneck mic stand with a Blue Snowball ICE USB mic. A little tricky to get the balance just right, but I figured it out. Monitoring in Audacity, it looks like this shield takes normal background noise from about -35db to -45db. Very approximate, but it's a noticeable difference. I wasn't sure if I had all the necessary parts for setup, but once I disassembled the mic attachment I got it sorted -- the manual isn't great. My whole setup is very ad hoc; I had to throw it together when COVID-19 meant I'd be producing a podcast for work from home instead of the slightly soundproofed room we made at the office. If you're in that kind of situation, I recommend this isolation shield. Pair it with a sturdy mic stand (and something soft like a blanket behind you) and you're set.

5-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch - TP-LINK®

5/5

So easy to hook up I was sure I couldn't have done it right. But it really is as easy as plugging in 1 ethernet cable to your router and then plugging in all the devices you want to hook up until you're out of ports. Unbelievable. Works so well I forget it's there behind my TV feeding Apple TV, Chromecast, my receiver, and Blu Ray.

Super Thin Indoor HD TV Antenna - PrimeCables®

5/5

I bought this on a whim for my mom when she was cancelling her cable subscription and switching to streaming full-time for all her viewing needs. I thought this might be helpful since she's most comfortable viewing live TV, and I was already ordering a bunch of other supplies so I added it on because why not at this price? It's been over 6 months and she's very happy with it which means I'm very happy with it.
