Best variable speed countertop blender for smoothies?
  KitchenAid KSB560OB
What about this blender from KitchenAid? It has 5 speeds, a large pitcher, and a bunch of good reviews to go along with it. Smoothie lovers say it is excellent fo smoothies.
Has a stainless steel blade, shatter resistant pitcher, die cast metal base.... should last a while. I think it is worth $90 to get a real solid blender, especially for smoothies. Those cheapies break so quickly if you try to chop ice. This one won't break any time soon.
Also - comes in variable colors! I like tangerine.....

Best jam-proof paper shredder for office use?
  Fellowes Powershred 120Ci
Hi Allen. These have an excellent jam-proof system, as do most of the Fellowes shredders. Basically, their system involves sensing when the shredder is over capacity and stopping the operation before the jam happens. Prevention instead of reaction. Its large volume should be perfect for an office situation... actually this model is designed for small business/office use.

What is the best paper shredder for home use under $50?
  AmazonBasics AU1225XB
You should check out this one from Amazon basics. Looks like a surprisingly well rounded, medium duty paper shredder to me.
Here are some of the key points:
-shred up to 12 pages at one time
-auto. shut off if a foreign object is inserted
-separate slot for shredding CD's (also shreds credit cards, staples, etc)
-has a reverse feature to clear paper jams
Not ideal for large loads, but a great medium duty shredder. I guess it's a little on the loud side... other than that I think you're going to be real happy with it.

What is the best programmable gaming mouse?
  Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse
This would be my suggestion. This mouse is so great and has so many cool features, like they give you little weights that you can use to add or subtract weight to the mouse, for a custom feel. It has a comfortable shape for your hand. Laser precision tracking. 10 programmable buttons. Even has some onboard memory so you can save your specific settings. Other cool features as well. Look into it, it's a great mouse.

What is the best Android tablet right now and why?
  ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-B1-GR
I think this is the best Android tablet available right now. The only one that truly competes with iPad all the way around for best user experience. It has Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich (over air update), the newest OS from Android. It has NVIDIA Tegra 3 mobile processor and a 10.1-inch WXGA Capacitive Multi Touch Display...very accurate and easy to use. Also has 32GB eMMC Flash and 1GB DDR2 memory.
It actually has a better resolution than iPad and is more powerful, and utilizes Gorilla Glass to help keep it safe.
So yeah, it can do everything iPAd can do. Also, it can be attached to to a keyboard, essentially turning it into a laptop, which can be very convenient. Also has a 1.2MP front camera and 8MP auto-focus rear camera.
All great stuff! Definitely the best right now if you ask me.

What is the best laptop for fast internet under $1500?
  Apple MacBook Pro MD314LL/A (Late 2011)
I think any decent laptop should be able to access the internet with similarly fast speeds. Your bottleneck is really going to be your internet connection.... you are only as fast as your internet. Maybe something with an SSD would make browsing a little faster? I don't know...
But I have this macbook and I find it to be extremely fast with my web browsing, and if you are open to buying apple I would highly suggest a macbook!

25 to 29 inch TV for Sports under $500?
  Vizio E260MV
This is a tough price/size range, pure and simple. I actually noticed that if you can afford to go with a slightly larger Tv (maybe in the 30"-39" range) you can get something much better that will offer 1080p, 120Hz (preferable for watching sports) and faster response times.... in general better for sports watching.
But if space is at a premium, this Vizio will be pretty nice for you. It has 1080p full hD so the picture will be very sharp. It features a nice thin design and LED backlighting.
The picture will be excellent, sound might only be a B, B+, and I think you will be happy with it.

best camera for kids sports events
  Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS 12 MP CMOS Digital Camera with Full 108...
Hi Amy, I'm trying to put myself in your shoes here. If I was trying to shoot action shots at a sporting event with a bunch of friends and kids around, I think I would want something compact and light that could stay in my pocket and be easily accessible. The less you have to carry around, the better. Also, with so much going on, I wouldn't want to have to think very much... I would want to be able to whip out my camera and get the shot, and get it right!
I think this ELPH by Canon will be perfect for you. It's very small. Thin and light. It will easily fit in your pocket/purse/whatever. It's incredibly easy to use...thus the "Point and Shoot" title. Being a Canon, it will take excellent pictures. It has Canon's 12.1 MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 image processor, which will enable for excellent action shots.
It's ready to take photos very fast. From the time you press the button, it is already catching the action, almost instantaneously. The time between taking photos is about 1.5 seconds, so you won't really miss any action.
Also, it can do High-Speed Burst Mode, which captures eight frames per second. Hold down the shutter button to catch rapid-fire action shots, perfect for sporting events.
And one last thing is you can record full HD video on this thing, and then watch your videos in slow motion later.
All cool stuff, definitely great for sports shots.

Looking for a good LED TV under $500?
  Vizio XVT323SV
I think you may be surprised what you can get for under $500! Vizio makes an excellent product. This one has a 32" screen... I think that's a good amount, although you may want more. It features an LCD screen and is LED backlit... a great technology that results in lower power consumption.
This particular one in 1080p, full HD. The picture will be beautiful! It is also internet ready, so you can download internet apps and stream directly to your TV.
This will be a great choice for you! I have a Vizio and love everything about it!

What monitor can I get that has 2ms response time under $150?
  Asus VH236H
This is a good suggestion and it's only $30 over your budget. Not too bad at all, especially for a nice monitor with 2ms response time. Wel done, Asus. I agree with Jake in that this is a great brand for your inexpensive options.
Besides the response time, you're also getting a nice 23-Inch wide screen, 1080p full HD LCD screen to look at. It also has built in speakers.
Nice stuff all the way around, and you can't beat it for the price.

What is the best general purpose camera under $800?
  Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-In...
This would be right at the top of my list. It will be amazing for general purpose shooting, as it is a very well rounded camera in general. It will be equally adept at shooting sports, portraits, low light and landscapes... you name it, it can do it. It can also shoot HD video.
It's a medium sized camera and will feel comfortable in your hand. All the operations will be easy and intuitive. And the best part is you will be able to take some incredible pictures! Here's what you can look forward to:
-18.0-megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor (CMOS sensors are great because they tend to be a little more forgiving than CCD sensors, meaning more of your shots will turn out!)
- DIGIC 4 image processor for high image quality AND speed
-This particular kit includes a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens
-ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light.... yes, low light shooting will be a breeze. The DIGIC processor makes low noise, high ISO shooting possible.
-EOS Movie mode with manual exposure control and expanded recording... you'll be shooting video in1920 x 1080 (Full HD)
-Wide 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor, but it still has a view finder.
-Compatible with with SDXC memory cards... lots of pics/movies can fit on there!
This is most definitely a great choice for you. Canons take fantastically clear and vivid pictures and are quite user friendly. Can't go wrong here.... you will be in good hands with Canon.

Laptop for everyday use around $500?
  ASUS A53U-EH22
Aside from a ton of pre-installed garbage software from Asus, this is a great machine. I don't know why they put all that crap on there, but the first thing you need to do is remove it. Ahhhh now we're ready to go.
Now you can enjoy this nice looking laptop to it's full potential. Okay , so the processor isn't the fastest one in the world, but for everyday stuff like email and word processing and the like it is more than adequate.
It comes with Windows 7 and an AMD Radeon graphics card, and a 50 GB hard drive.
Not a powerhouse, but great for day to day general use.

What is the best mid tower case for gaming?
  GAMMA Classic Series ATX Mid Tower Interior Steel Chassis (Black)
If you would like a cheaper option I would suggest this one to you.
Honestly, I don't see why you would need anything more than this, unless you're not into it aesthetically.
It will take 6 fans, although it only comes with one (as in the picture). It will hold multiple hard drive no problems, an adequate fans to keep everything cool.
Personally, I think it looks great and I am very pleased.
I should also mention that the build quality is actually quite good (considering the low price) and that it is light but sturdy.
Good case! Save your money by buying one of these.

This is perfect for youuuuuuuuu!
I have one in my studio apartment, actually instead of a desk. It's perfect for small spaces.... it's a mini office for me (very mini) but it's all I have space for...so I make it work.
I use it with a chair sometimes, for which it's okay, but the bulk of the unit does get in your way a bit. I like to use it for standing, because I sit all day at work, so when I get home it's nice to have the option to stand and stretch for a bit. I also like that it has a little storage underneath.

It's not for heavy use, like don't take it on a trip to Europe or anything, but for school or zipping to the coffee shop it is perfect.

What is the best way to help me stand up straighter?
  Posture Corrective Brace
I bought this brace to help me out at work where my posture is noticeably bad. I quickly realized that it works very well and definitely makes me stand up straighter. If you put it on right it will definitely do that for you.
Only problem is that it is NOT very comfortable, and I can't wear it all day at work! It rubs on my skin, so I have to wear something under it. This, in turn, adds a lot of extra bulk to my outfit and I don't like that at all! It can be noticeable under my outfit too.
SO, why do I recommend it? Well, I switched my approach and now I wear it around the house whenever I can and it has made a world of difference! As long as I am wearing it for part of the day it relieves pressure and is slowly correcting my posture. It also makes me more aware of my posture in general, so at work it's not as difficult to stand up straight all day.
I definitely recommend this one. Works great for me after adapting!!

  Alto Zippered Wool Jacket with Cargo Pockets Available in Black and...
This is a gorgeous jacket, and if worn with the right stuff underneath it could be very warm indeed. I think it looks like a $200 jacket but it's only like 40.
Like I said, you would have to wear some layers with it and a scarf and hat if it was really cold out, but man it's beautiful winter coat.

What's the best paper map for a US road trip?
  Michelin North American Road Atlas, 2011: USA, Canada, Mexico
The selling point for me with this atlas was the spiral binding. What a nice feature, and talk about ease of use. It's easy enough to read, although the text and maps in general are quite small. They make up for this by including lots of supplemental maps for areas where there is a lot going on (like the densely populated regions in the Northeast) and sort of 'zoom in' on these areas, makes them easier to read.
There are some maps of mexico and canado, too, which is handy for road tripping or leaving the country via automobile.
The pages are set up as a grid, and it tells you what page the next part of the map is on, to continue your route.
My big complaint is that the road names are not shown nearly enough, so you have to do a little searching to figure out what road is what. Other than that it's a solid map all the way around!

This is a wonderful winery and a wonderful pinot grigio. They describe it as a 'bright' taste and I think that is very accurate. It's bright and sweet.

  Belkin Sport Armband Case for iPod touch 1G (Black/Gray)
i prefer this one just because i think it looks better! it's a cleaner design than the other ones that have all that extra strappy material hanging off them. just the right amount of strap to fit well and not get in the way.
actually, this being said, i don't think it would fit a large muscled guy... not a long enough band.

This is your basic hard shell sunglass case. I have one and it works perfectly for all my large lens glasses (like aviators and stuff). It's pretty darn big, so take into account where you're going to keep it when you're travelling and stuff... it has no sort of clip or anything. But it does a great job at keeping my sunglasses safe, i just leave it in my purse and it's awesome!

this is actually a beautiful suit from perry ellis. when i think 'seersucker' i usually don't think 'beautiful'.... but they somehow pulled it off with this thing.
the suit is a warm chocolate brown with a subtle vertical brown stripe...hence the seersucker aspect. it is also seersucker style material (100% cotton). i like it because it is more subtle than seersucker.
seriously- it looks awesome on!

What is the best men's fanny pack under $50?
  Leather Cell Phone/Fanny Pack (Black)
I think one of these might be a nice choice for you. I just ordered one last month and am quite happy with mine. It's not huge, but it's perfect for cruising around the city for a day, like what I imagine you will be doing as you travel.
It has a specific pocket for your cell phone, and ample space for your wallet, pens, and a couple small personal items. It's not a pack for packing lunch and dinner and all your valuables in, but it is perfect for light day trips as you will probably do as you travel.
I do have to warn you that the pack is not for small people. I don't know how skinny you are, but it just barely gets tight enough for my slight frame - I'm about 5'5" and 125 lbs. Keep that in mind. Other than that, great fanny pack.

  Steve Madden Women's Candence Boot,Cognac Leather,7.5 M US
I LOVE these boots. I love anything from Steve Madden, though.
Like all of their stuff, these are extremely comfortable and stylish. I like the slouchy look of the boot. They're perfect for fall because they're made of high grade leather, so they will keep you warm and look beautiful!
I find that all of their boots are very well made, actually all of their EVERYTHING is very well made, so I think they'll be tough enough for you, as long as you're not wearing them all day every day.
A comfortable, well made, stylish boot.

What is the best shoulder bag for a guy under $100?
  9201 Urban Explorer Canvas Bag Black
This is a wonderful, inexpensive option for you to consider. Perfect if you're on a budget. You can probably buy it and get it delivered for under 25 dollars.
That is a really good deal considering it's quality... I have had no durability issues with it at all, in fact it's better made then I thought it would be at such a low price. The strap is comfortable and doesn't slip, and also is adjustable. I can fit everything I need for work in it, and like that I can also use it for days at the zoo and going to the beach and stuff.
Two suggestions for improvement would be to add a zipper on the main compartment. You can kind of close it with the flap, but you can't actually seal the main compartment, which is kind of a bummer. Also, there are no pen holders, which I could use.
Other than that I like the over all design, look and feel of it, and would certainly recommend it.

What's the best product to get out grass stains from a tee shirt?
  Soilove Laundry Soil-stain Remover New
I HIGHLY recommend this product for grass stains! I've tried them all and this works the best for me.
Grass stains are really tough because A) they set fast and B) they are a combination of grain and soil (usually) so you need something that can fight them both. That's why this stuff is so great
Just completely soak the stain with it and then wash in warm water.
It's amazing - I guarantee it will work for you!

you should try these out, I'm curious to see what you think:
http://www.amazon.com/CALDEN-K99805-Inches-Increas...

they add a ton of height and are a good looking fashion boot. I know guy who had some and said they're pretty cool except it's almost like walking in high heels, and takes some serious getting used to.
the boot design is awesome because it makes the lift completely invisible, as long as you can master walking in them.
watch out when you take them off around people. it will be very obvious that you were wearing elevator shoes - i mean 3.6 inches is A LOT!!!
