What is the best programmable drip coffee maker for home use?
  Cuisinart DCC-1100BK
I usually find simplicity is the best option... this coffee maker has a real simple design that will be easy to use and effective. Not too fancy, just a solid coffee maker.
It features 24-hour programmability and a 12 cup carafe.

What is the best budget microwave oven for baking?
  Magic Chef MCD990R
So yeah there are cheaper ones out there, but they get such horrible reviews I couldn't make myself recommend one to you! Go with something that you know is going to work well.
This is a good option. It's not terribly cheap but also not terribly expensive. Nice red color, pretty small (.9 cubic feet). 900 watts should be plenty of power for you. Has 10 power levels and plenty of cook options and features. I think it is definitely a solid buy!

What's the best strip cut paper shredder for home use under $50?
  AmazonBasics AU820SD
Perfect for you, Pam! Under $50, cuts strip-style. Also can cut through CDs and credit cards and stuff, although it is best used for light duty paper shredding, as should be expected at this price point.

What's a good ambidextrous mouse that's ideal for gaming?
  SteelSeries Sensei Laser Gaming Mouse (Grey)
I would suggest this Steel Series. These are nice for gaming and certainly have an ambidextrous design.
It's gonna be precise and comfy.
It's also very customizable, right down to things like you can upload your own bitmap picture, and there is even a customizable LCD display on it. Don't worry it's not just all aesthetics, it's actually good for gameplay too!

What's the best inkjet photo printer if I want to save money on ink and paper?
  HP Photosmart 5510
Hey Cody. HP generally has very reasonable ink prices, both color and black. The thing to remember though is that no matter what brand you go with, photo printers tend to eat a lot of ink, especially models like this that do high resolution prints.

In the 45-50 inch category, what is the best TV for watching movies?
  LG 47LK520
LG makes a great TV set, so I would suggest this one to you. For movie watching I guess you need great image quality and plenty of connections...this has both. 120 Hz LCD screen with 1080p resolution. It has HDMI and USB connections and also is internet ready so you can watch movies and stuff on Netflix or other online sources.

Is there anything better than the dell ultrasharp monitor?
  NEC MultiSync PA301W-BK-SV - 30" w/ USB hub
I don't think you'll find anything better necessarily, but you can find other products that are equally as good. This one from NEC would be my recommendation. This is a great company and this is a fabulous monitor. Extremely high resolution and color accuracy, for any of your color-demanding projects.

What is the best computer monitor for photography?
  Asus PA246Q
This would certainly be one of your best options, especially in the more affordable price ranges. Just under $500, this monitor from Asus gives you professional features and a very bright and vibrant screen. Actually some may think the screen is a little on the bright side in general, due to its intense backlighting, but reasonably deep black are still achieved.
The 'PA' stands for Pro Art, and this is Asus' model for photo and other editing. It has P-IPS panel with about 98% adobe RGB coverage and has a true resolution of 1920x1200...basically color accuracy is very good on this monitor. It also pivots, to be viewed vertically, which can give you a bunch of extra room to work with, depending on your picture orientation.
It is designed for photography, and designed well. Should be great for you!

Wife needs a new headband headset. What's a good choice for under $60?
  Corsair Vengeance 1100
When you say headset do you mean like a gaming headset? If so, these would be cool to give her. It's got a flexible boom mic with noise canceling technology. Delivers high quality audio. They're going to be really light yet provide a lot of sound. The fact that they are lightweight is really nice if she'll be wearing them for extended periods of time. It's surprising that a set this smal has 40mm drivers in there, but they do. This will really give it kick!

Need a noise canceling headset for digital and video editing under $30?
  Sennheiser HD 202 II
Well you won't really find great active noise canceling at this price, so you'll probably have to rely on passive noise canceling. What I mean by that is the actual build of the headphone blocks the sound, not technology. Earbuds do a pretty good job at passive noise canceling, as do larger ear cups like this. If you're doing editing you really need crisp, clear audio and tight bass. These should deliver!

Best 34+ Inch TV for watching movies from my computer under $900?

I think this one would be perfect for you. It has a PC input, it's in your price range and movies will look excellent on it. 1080p and 120Hz refresh rate... sports and video games will look great, too.
It's pretty big and it's made by a reputable company.
This is a great TV and a great deal. Pick one up while it's still available.

This is far below your price point, but it is an excellent reading tool. I mean it is designed to access millions of books, magazines and other media from the internet. I like the smallish 7" screen because it's book sized and therefor extremely portable.
If all you really want to do is read then save your money and go with a Fire!

best dslr camera for video under $700?
  Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imagi...
I agree with Robert. Great for video. Shoots full HD at frame rates of 30, 24 or 25 frames per second with full exposure control and has digital zoom. It has one of the most advanced dslr video systems available, and actually gives you some pro-like features (like HD Movie Zoom) and some in-camera control of what you are filming. Your videos are saved as .MOV and can be viewed immediately on your TV via HDMI. It also has the Video Snapshot feature, which takes short video clips of various lengths and them combines them into a montage. Lots of video features on an already very capable camera gives you a lot of possibilities!

best camera for taking pictures of my kids
  Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Op...
This is an excellent all around camera. To me, it is the perfect combination of very high picture quality and very easy learning curve. It's a little expensive, but your kids are only young once and you don't want to miss a thing.
It is not a dslr, but it shoots like one. You just don't have to think quite as hard. It does all the work for you... all you have to do is set it to Auto and it will analyze our shooting conditions and set itself up for the perfect shot. Of course later when you are more comfortable with it you can mess around with the 24 different shooting modes, for a more custom shooting experience.
It also has some nice things like image stabilization, 20x zoom, and it can record video as well.
Oh and if you want to be in the picture, too, you can always set the timer countdown and hop into the shot.
Excellent camera, very easy to use, check it out.

What is the best option for a media center ?
  SHUTTLE SH67H3 PC Barebone System
For you media center needs, this box got some excellent reviews. Honestly, I don't know a ton about the whole "Media Center" thing, but if you do this might be perfect, as it allows you to build yourself a custom media center to your specifications. You will have to build it yourself, and I don't know how you feel about that! But apparently it's a pretty easy box to work on.
But it has an Optical S/PDIF and Audio I/O Jacks for your audio needs, as well as a Serial port, an HDMI port, a DVI port, and an RJ45 LAN port. It will also support Intel Core i7 / i5 / i3 series Processors, which would be my choice. I think this will work for you and your needs.
Wish I knew more about this, but I hope this helps a little.

What is the best camera for travel under $50?
  Kodak Easyshare C142 10 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom and 2...
Keep in mind that at this price point durability and picture quality won't be top notch, but Kodak's Easy Share offers some great features that make it certainly worth considering. It shoots at 10 MP, has 3X optical zoom, and a 2.5" LCD. It also has the 'easy share' part, in which you can upload your pics to facebook, twitter, or flickr with the push of a button. Just makes life a little easier.
Face detection, blur reduction, VGA video capable.... even has up to ISO 1600 for an attempt at low light shots....although I don't think it will shoot low light very well.
The fact that it takes SD cards is pretty awesome, as you will be able to fit a ton of pics on there.
The main thing with this camera is ease of use. It's super simple from start to finish, and assuming you have some decent lighting conditions you will be able to get some pretty pics.
Just don't expect too much in terms of build quality, as it's going to be made of plastic!
But hey, for the price, can't complain, right?

What is the best multifunction printer for scanning?
  Epson Stylus NX625
This is a great multi function printer for PC (not sure if it works for macs). It does everything (scanning, printing, copying) and does it fast. Very fast, actually. It's versatile and once you get it set up it's very easy to use. I had a friend help me with set up because I am not very good at that sort of thing! But she is and she had it going in no time. She also set it up so I can print wirelessly from anywhere in my home! Cool.
Scanning is on par with anything else I've seen.
One last thing to mention is ink cost - as far as I can tell it is very reasonably priced. A black cartidge is about $15 on Amazon...pretty reasonable.

However, I can't suggest it if you have oily skin, because it's a little on the greasy side. But for me it works great. Very good product.

What is the best portable projector for movies?
  FAVI RioHD-LED-2 Mini Projector
I think it depends on what you want to get out of it, but this might be a good choice for you. JSYK, I do not own this projector, so I am not speaking from personal experience, but rather from a little bit of research online. It seems to have a very clear picture, but only if you are in a dark room. So, if you plan on using it in the basement or nighttime to watch movies, this will do the trick, and it's well worth the low price tag. however, if you need it for business presentations, this would be a bad choice, as the lumen output just is not high enough.

What is the best way to heat a sunroom in winter?
I would say one or two oil filled electric radiators would do the job, depending on the size of the room. It also depends on how well insulated your sunroom is.
For example, my Aunt in Lansing, Michigan has a sunroom that is pretty small...maybe 10 X 10 or so and I know she heats it with one oil filled unit. She can use the sunroom almost year round, except for super chilly nights, and it's pretty comfortable. Make sure all the seals between the windows are completely sealed! Get some caulking and do a little touchup work if you have to. Any draftiness will totally suck the warm air out of that room.

Any solution you use should probably be diluted pretty well so as not to hurt the fibers of the rug. I would also recommend using a soft cloth and warm (not hot) water.

This one seems a little expensive, but it might just work for you. Wake up to soothing nature sounds and a soothing aroma... or you can play your own music through the external jack. You can also use it on the reverse side.... to help you and your baby relax after a long day. Aromatherapy is very relaxing, and you can choose from different scents. It also lights up gently.
The thing that really looks lame about this product is that the nature sound loops apparently repeat every 5 or so seconds... seriously? How annoying would that be? If this is something you can't deal with (and I don't blame you) I would suggest going to Sharper Image and looking around. I'm sure they will have something that fits the bill.

What is the best TV that will not die a rapid demise It will be used as a TV or to watch movies 95% of the time. under $500?
  Vizio M221NV
I can only speak from my personal experience, Isabel, but this is the TV I own and it's great. I like the size - although you might want something bigger (you will be able to find the same TV in a larger size for under $500).
I have had no quality problems whatsoever, and since it's LCD (and not plasma) the screen will be more reliable, although not quite as sharp.
My one complaint with this TV is sound quality from the built in speakers. There seems to be no in-between volume. The speaking parts are always way too quiet, and then if there's an explosion or something it's WAY too loud. Oh well...run it through your home theater system and you will be fine.
You may also want to look into TCL TV's. This company offers 2 year warranties, while Vizio only offers a one year.

I'm a big fan of TiVo! You can record up to 45 hours of your favorite shows, in full HD. There is a $20/month service fee, and the TiVo itself will run you a couple hundred. The TiVo box replaces your cable box.
If you are willing to pay the price, I think you will be very happy with the service. I know I am!

What is the best sleep training clock?
  American Innovative Teach Me Time! Talking Alarm Clock and Nightlight
Here is another great product for you to consider.
When I was trying to decide which one of many similar products was right for me, I had to ask myself what exactly I wanted to get out of it, besides the obvious teach-to-sleep aspect (you set the "OK to Wake" time and it turns from yellow to green).
When I saw this one it was obvious that this was the right one, because not only does it teach to sleep, it teaches to tell time. Also, it is functional as a regular alarm clock, for when your child has grown out of this phase.
It just seems like the best overall value to me.

What is the best way to clean smudges off my delicate flatscreen?
Yes definitely use a micro fiber cloth, anything else will scratch it! Turn the TV off so you can really see the smudges. First, try gently rubbing the area with the cloth... don't press too hard because too much pressure might cause some pixels to burn out. Yikes!
If the dirt isn't coming off with this dry technique, try mixing a little 1 to 1 water to white vinegar solution. Use a very small amount on the cloth (the smallest amount possible) and again, gently rub the area.... don't get any water on your tv!!

  Logitech io Personal Digital Pen
This is a great device and it really works, but it's kind of a lot to deal with, and is only for the serious electronic note taker.
Here's what I mean. First and foremost, you can only write on a certain magical paper that only they will sell to you, so be ready to spend some extra cash on this. You will also need to buy ink refills from them, and they are pretty small because they have to compete for space with the electronics in the pen. Also you have to transfer all the info onto your computer and that's no problem but just another step... not as simple as I would have liked it to be,
That being said, when I do use it it works as it should and is a pretty nifty little tool. It recognizes everything I write and records it. Great for diagram note taking.

This camera is awesome for general usability and it's true 'point & shoot' nature. anyone can successfully take nice shots with it, as it will do a lot of the work for youI! it takes the guess work out of casual picture taking and focuses on results, no pun intended.
there is tendency for this camera to take rather 'soft' images.... not as sharp as say a canon lens, but some adjustments in the settings can really help with that issue.
sharing is as easy as plugging in and opening the right software, and it's compatible both with macs and pc.
all around this will be an extremely family friendly camera and it takes very high quality photos, so you will definitely be satisfied with your purchase.
Another cool thing is it has a lot of advanced features that you can eventually master and incorporate into your every day picture taking!

What is the best pinot noir under $25?
  Yering Station Little Yering Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir is a particularly difficult wine to shop for. The grapes used for its fermentation are quite picky with their living conditions and need a very specific cool (but not too cool) climate to thrive and actually taste like they should. For this reason you won't find a lot of cheap bottles of pinot noir that actually taste like pinot noir. The grapes are a lot to handle and drive up the cost of producing a quality wine.
There are some wineries that pull it off though, and this is one of them. A deliciously fruity pinot noir that is sure to impress. My #1 vote for wines under $25.

Any nay sayers don't understand until they've tried it.
I have particularly dry skin and face wipes tend to dry it out even more.... awful. This spray adds the moisture I need back to my face (especially useful in the winter time) without drying it out at all. It feels very refreshing on a hot day or at work. I don't have the time or ability to go into the bathroom and wash my face in the middle of the day, so this is perfect for me.
Also, it is fortified with lots of nutrients that are actually good for your skin. Stuff like magnesium and calcium that makes your skin go, 'Mmmmmm'.
I love these! A wonderfully refreshing product.

I've been through a lot of products in my day and this, I can tell you for certain, is the best lotion for oily skin!
The oil free design makes it usable for even the most breakout-prone skin (like mine) as it will NOT clog pores and in fact helps to tighten them (thanks to the retinol).
The gentle formula actually protects and exfoliates as it moisturizes. (thanks to AHA/BHA and antioxidants)
A truly great product I'm so grateful that I found it. My skin looks and feels so much healthier and softer since I started using it.
They offer a whole line... this is step 3. I only use this, but I've heard the whole line is equally effective.

I think a slim fitting, single breasted 2 button suit will never ever go out of style, and as long as it's made well and fits right it will be in this fall, next fall, and the fall after that. Greys and dark blues are very popular right now, as are skinny ties, which would be a good accessory to consider for a modern look.
A trend I've been noticing lately is a slight broader shoulder, slimming as it goes down. This creates the illusion of an athletic build, or highlights it if they are built as such.
Also, look for a narrower lapel. Definitely moving in that direction this year.

What is the best hemp shirt?
  Hemp/Cotton T-shirt - Blue mist, Medium
I like this particular hemp shirt because it is blended with cotton therefor it's softer and less itchy that your average hemp shirt. I totally support the hemp industry...it's awesome to find different materials to use for familiar products. especially hemp... it's a good green product.
the shirt is comfy like a tee and fits pretty well, although it's not a particularly slim fit. will shrink, but only slightly. nice shirt!

What's a good running shoe that won't fall apart?

Go with a trail runner if you're concerned with durability. They are built to put up with rough terrains and ar generally more heavy duty than a normal running shoe.

These are nice jackets.... the problem is that I'm sure you expected to see this jacket pop up when you asked the question because it's too darn popular!!! Everyone has this jacket. But that's for a reason! It's warm and soft, and not too expensive. North Face is always a good bet.

Where can I get a wireless mini camera with enough range to put on an RC car under $75?
  Mini Wireless Micro-Spy Video Camera 2.4GHz (Complete Package)
We bought one of these for a little added security in our new big house. It works pretty well for such a teeny tiny little camera. Picture isn't crystal clear or anything, but it's not bad and you can easily see what's going on. The range is good for about 200 feet. I would imagine this is enough for an RC car because it probably has a similar range? This seems to be one of the smallest cameras out there at this price, so it's a good bet for fastening to your RC car. I bet you could attach it right to the bumper or something and on one would even see it! The ultimate spy tool.

What is the best HID mounting kit under $150?
  Kensun HID Xenon Conversion Kit "All Bulb Sizes and Colors" with Pr...
Sweet HID conversion kit...although not quite 'plug and play'like they advertise. Obviously there's a little wiring involved, as you have to switch out your old bulbs AND attach the ballast, which supplies the extra power necessary to oprate such a bright light.
I should also recommend a professional install, unless you are comfortable with wiring stuff. This company no longer has a website to help you with troubleshooting, so besides the included info, you're on your own! my husband and I managed to figure it out though with out two huge brains!

I bought some of these for my hubby at the beginning of the summer and he likes them a lot. He used them all summer for various trips and stuff and he'll definitely be able to use them again next summer-they hold up real well. I like the way they look, too.
We were astounded at how fast these thing dry off! A few minutes in the sun and they are dry. Amazing!

What's gonna keep me warmer, a wool coat or a down coat?
yeah i would definitely go with down. the problem is that it's hard to find a professional looking down jacket, whereas most wools look beautiful and expensive!
but look around. you can find some very professional looking black downs and even full length downs, like you find with wools.

What are some safety items a new driver should keep in their car?
  Eton American Red Cross Road Torq ARCPT100W Self-Powered Spotlight ...
I have one of these, but anything similar would be ideal. A hand crank flashlight is an incredibly useful thing to keep around in your vehicle. Who knows when you'll get a flat or break down at night or be out camping and everyone has forgotten a flashlight...except you!
You just hand crank it for a few minutes and get plenty of use time out of it. It's great because just put it in your car and you will always be prepared. You never have to worry about batteries or anything.
I guarantee you will use this in your car within the first month of owning it. Personal guarantee!

  Bruno Magli Men's Mydrone Monk Strap Dress Shoe,Dark Brown,13 M US
I'll say right off the bat that these are probably too expensive for.... well.... just about everybody! At almost $600 these are the real deal. As far as fancy, it doesn't get much fancier than these.
Cobbled in Italy by Italians using Italian leather. GORGEOUS. The best.

What is the best men's golf shoe under $150?
  Callaway Men's Hyperbolic Tour Golf Shoe,White/Black,10 M US
My husband LOVES these shoes, and so will your dad! I bought these for him and he is very pleased with them. He says they are the most comfortable golf shoes ever! He really likes that they are basically a combination of a traditional golf shoe and a cross trainer. More of a sporty look than than some of those dressy looking shoes. They seem to me like they're more functional and performance based than the flat conventional golf shoe. More comfortable feet = a more relaxed, better game. They are also more weather resistant and wear resistant, and seem to be moe durable and tougher.
This is a great bet for your dad. Chances are it's exactly what he's been waiting for, and didn't even know it!!

What is the best mens wingtip shoe under $150?
  Rockport Men's Almartin Wingtip Tip Bal Oxford,Red Brown,9.5 M
As far as I'm concerned the red-brown wingtip is the ultimate in style and sophistication. A beautiful take on the black & white wingtip... far less obtrusive and costume-like. This is truly a beautiful shoe.
On the flip side, I bought my husband a pair of these and he says they don't get tight enough around his ankles. He laces them up all the way and can't seem to get them tight around his ankle, even though they otherwise fit his feet perfectly. Nothing that a thick pair of socks can't fix, though, and he still wears them quite often - I guess it's not a deal breaker!

Why don't you try out something completely different with this silicone watch. If you're going for something different stylistically, this may be for you. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Simple face, cool color. Inexpensive, to. Just a fun accessory to consider!

Here's a nice, simple down vest from a great company. Down is what you need for a warm vest. I like this vest because it comes in a nice variety of colors. The orange is sweet.
But it's just a simple, zip up vest. Has a place for your arms, a hole for your head, and it keeps you warm. What else could ou ask for?

It's refreshing to see a guy in a bow tie. They are a handsome accessory and don't get enough credit, as far as i'm concerned. Not enough guys wear bow ties. I like 'em better than straight ties, to be honest! I love this paisley design.

What is the best in car atlas?
  Michelin North American Road Atlas, 2011: USA, Canada, Mexico
This is a pretty nice Atlas... has some pros and cons of course, like everything else. I love that it's spiral bound. I think every atlas should absolutely be the same. Makes life easier. It has tons of maps of everywhere in the United States and even Canada and Mexico. Fun to browse through and great for long road trips.
The cons come in the form of user friendliness, or a lack there of. I wouldn't say this atlas is very user friendly and it takes a minute to get used to how they present the material. It's very small, and road names are often not placed on the map often enough, so you have to look all over the page to figure out the specific road name. This is annoying, but I guess thy had to do it to get all that info in there about US, Mex and Can.
Since I don't go to Mex.or Can. very often, I sort of wish they left them out of this one and just showed me a detailed US map. Next time maybe.

Get it professionally installed for sure! My friend let her friends try to install a cd player and they failed pretty miserably!

Is it possible to hem pants without sewing?
Funny you should ask this because I just showed this website to my nephew who's in college and needed a hem:

http://themeckleys.com/blog/2009/01/how-to-hem-pan...

It's pretty awesome and works exceptionally well. all it is is an adhesive tape that you stick on there, then you use an iron to heat it up into glue. it's a very strong fabric adhesive called Fusible Fabric Tape. almost as good as a real hem, and waaaaaay easier.
great for people like me who don't sew!

What's the best way to clean a baseball hat?
as long as it's not like a vintage cap or super delicate you can just throw it in the laundry with the rest of your clothes. don't put it in the dryer though! let it air dry.
most caps these days are made of cotton or polyester and have a plastic brim. this can certainly withstand a wash in the machine.
check the tag-it should say what it's made of, i think.
if it's wool, don't wash it in the machine! this will ruin it. instead, hand wash it in your sink with a wool-safe product, like woolite or something.

  Motorola T505 Bluetooth Portable In-Car Speakerphone
Finally a bluetooth speakerphone that I can use! The first one I got had such a terrible sound quality for the person on the other line that I eventually had to consider it useless and get rid of it.
This is an awesome bluetooth unit. It enables hands free calling with good sound quality without an installation. I love that about it... I can put this thing in any vehicle, it just clips onto the visor.
It works wirelessly, another plus. Better than other fm transmitter devices I've had... this one actually works.

What is the best mens water shoe?
  Teva Men's Omnium Closed Toe Sandal,Bungee Cord,10 M US Men's
You may want to try something like this. It's more of a land shoe than a water shoe, but it does perform very well in the water, and dries quickly because of it's open design and waterproof material. Can be worn without socks, all day, no prob. The mesh material is super light and cooling.
These are a little more expensive than your average water shoe, but you will certainly get more use out of them.
Ideal for outdoors... lakes and rivers and stuff.

How do I clean inside the front grill of my car?
Unfortunately the only way to clean your cars grill for real is to get scrubbin. There's no miracle spray on stuff that will just rinse everything off - unfortunately.
Get a bucket of warm soapy water (warm water definitely works better than cold) I just use dish soap. I like to pre rinse with my hose. A big sponge is nice to coat the whole grill once with your soapy mixture.
Then take either a small brush (which works wonderfully) or a rag and start scrubbin all those bugs off.
Disgusting, I know, but you gotta do it if you want it clean.
Rinse, repeat if necessary.
A little bug and tar remover will help with the remaining pieces that are stuck on there - just follow the directions.

What's the best leather band watch under $200?
  Citizen Men's BM8242-08E Eco-Drive Gold-Tone Leather Watch
This is a gorgeous leather band watch. I just bought my husband one for his birthday last month and he is still raving about it. It's so distinguished is what he keeps saying. And it is distinguished. A real gentlemans watch, but not uptight and hoity-toity. Still masculine, but not rugged.
It looks beautiful all the way around....except kind of the band. It'snot the highest quality band ever, but it's ok and the rest of the watch makes up for it.
Keeps time well, wears well. Good value.
