Call me old fashioned, but I'm all about simplicity with stuff like this. I usually find that the simpler something is, the better it works and the more reliable it is. That's why I want to suggest this one.
Look at the design - just your basic vacuum design, but then again, there is nothing wrong with that design so why change it?
It does have carpet height adjustment and should be great for carpets of all types.
Apparently it is quite powerful, with plenty of suction.
Lots of good reviews because people have had great experiences with it... you could be the next!

Bunn coffee makers are pretty cool because they stay on all the time and always have a tank full of hot water. This enables you to brew a pot of coffee in like 3 minutes. I think that would be nice for the office, especially if there are a few coffee drinkers around. A quick pot every time, any time.
Another thing worth noting is the industrial style build. You can tell it's going to last a while with that stainless steel and industrial look. It looks like something you would find in a restaurant, so I think it's gonna be solid and durable for you.

This looks like a really cool coffee maker because it can either make you a full pot of coffee or just one cup, a feature that I know I would find to be very useful.
It has a nice stainless steel design and apparently makes a really hot brew!

This is a great choice. Everything about it screams durability. Check it out:
-Polycarbonate jar is super shatter-resistant and temperature resistant
-die-cast metal base for durability
-steel reinforced coupler
-1 piece stainless steel blade
It will be great for juicing, smoothies, ice crushing, etc. (everything) KitchenAid is reliable.... this should be a great product.

Okay so this has been on the market for a few years now but that's not a bad thing! In that time it has received tons of good reviews and proved to be a very capable paper/CD/staple/credit card shredder. It's under $70 so I think the price is very reasonable. It can shred 11 pages at one time and 880 sheets in 5 minutes.
Brings a whole new meaning to ripping CD's and DVD's.

Here's a great option for you because it's so darn cheap! 20 bucks. Comfortable ergo design, and it works perfectly like a mouse should.
It's ambidextrous, compact, has a scroll wheel, and is wireless.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think this is the way to go. I really like that it has a retractable cord that is stored right there inside the mouse... makes it even more portable in that way. Yeah obviously it plugs into your USB port. I guess it's pretty much a regular mouse in most ways though. Comfortable grip, 1,000 DPI optical sensor, all good stuff.

Surprisingly difficult to find good android products at this price range, but I think this would be a decent choice for you. Supports Bluetooth HID, so it's compatible with iPad & android devices. Fairly compact and portable yet durable. I think it's a good choice at the price point.

Under $200 I would go with this one.
It is compact and only does 4X6 prints.
However, it does those prints at very high quality, like photo lab quality. You'll be printing bright, vibrant photos on this thing!
Fairly fast, energy star certified. So cool, having the ability to print photo at this high level for such a low cost.

These will be awesome. Sennheiser is awesome.
They have bass boost, a bunch of replaceable ear cups, and and are just high quality. Bass will not only be big but crisp.

This is not only a nice TV but an exceptional value. It's 32", LCD, 3D capable, full 1080p Hi Def.
It has built-in WiFi so you have access to Vizio apps like Netflix and stuff. Vizio makes good TV's! I have one (not this one) and really like it... no problems yet after a year.
To watch in 3D you'll need glasses, and this TV comes with 2 pairs. The 3D is supposed to be very good on this thing, but keep in mind you do need to be more or less right in front of the screen to really get the 3D effect. Also, you need 3D material and a 3D source, like a 3D BluRay or something similar.
Good TV, good price, 3D... solid choice if you ask me.

Seems like you would be very pleased with this guy. It's a USB powered 14 in monitor.... about the size of a laptop. Super portable. Nice little display, too...LCD, 1366 x 768 HD resolution.
No a/c adapter needed - just plug in via USB and you've got another screen.
A really nice feature is the little case it comes in. It acts as a cover for the monitor and also unfolds into a stand, so you don't need to purchase any extra equipment.

I think you should just watch it

I wouldn't usually suggest Skullcandy for audio stuff, but for your iPhone I think these are a good choice. They will be comfortable and have a nice clear sound for you. I've used Skullcandy before, and they actually give you a pretty nice sound for the money. i think you will like these.

This might be the closest you will get... sorry it's a bit over your budget. It has built-in wifi so you'll be streaming videos right onto it in no time. It comes with Amazon Instant Video, Flickr, Netflix, Rhapsody, Twitter, VUDU and Yahoo TV preloaded, and pretty much all you need is a wifi signal. Of course you also need a Netflix account, and possibly other accounts to use various other apps.
This is a nice TV from Vizio... I have a Vizio right now and love it.... zero problems after about a year. Gives you full hi-def viewing and even a 120 hz refresh rate, which if you don't know is great because it reduces "motion blur".
This will be a great TV for you and will be super easy to set up that internet.

This is a fantastic monitor. Extremely high contrast ratio (10,000,000:1) also has a nice 2ms response time.
While contrast ratio is a pretty good indication of the contrast of brights and darks, it can also be a bit misleading. Companies like to use high contrast ratio to make their product seem superior, much like camera companies hype the amount of megapixels they offer. The contrast actually varies from point to point on the screen and they try to pick the most extreme points to make the contrast seem higher.
I'm not saying high contrast isn't important, but be careful because it can be misleading.

These are pretty compact and fold flat for travel (also included is a travel pouch). They are completely wireless and have a hidden mic right on the headset, along with controls. They have soft padded earcups. Great little set if you ask me.

With no budget in your question I'm gonna have to go all out and suggest these beauts by Pioneer. These are the real deal, professional DJ's use them. They surround your ear fully to block noise, and deliver really nice tones to your ears. They are designed for the stage and road so they are tough and can take a beating.... they are actually a magnesium composite, a metal like material that is quite durable.
Of course sound quality is really high, as it is with ost headphones at this price range.

I think they will offer a similar viewing experience. However, I will say you will probably get slightly better resolution on a computer monitor compared to the TV monitor, which isn't really a big deal unless you are planning on sitting really close to the screen. In this case you might be able to see the individual pixels on the TV monitor easier than on a computer monitor.

I am sure plenty of people will disagree, but my best gaming memories are on ps1... I guess I first started gaming on one of these and games like FF7, MediEvil, Vigilante 8, Medal of Honor, were my faves, and still are to this day.

If you like to gamble....
Ha I only say that because it seems TCL doesn't have very good quality assurance. They make a great television but send out some duds occasionally (some just flat out don't work, DOA). That should be okay though because they do include a 2 year warranty and that should cover any problems that might occur.
Why am I still recommending this thing then? Well you asked for a deal, and this is a screaming deal...... $350 for a 40" LCD screen with 1080p HD resolution.
I don't think for the price you will find anything better! (I hope yours works though...)

These are really nice little cameras. Little is good when you're travelling.
It's really fast so you won't miss any spur of the moment shots. Has nice features like image stabilizer, intelligent exposure light detection, and intelligent mode, all just to make sure you don't miss out on those once in a lifetime shots!

With DPi from 400 to as high as 1600 (and you can change it with one click) and programmable buttons, this optical mouse from Logitech will be your best friend. The 1600-dpi MX Optical Engine delivers lightning quick response, and in general it's quite comfortable to hold in your hand.
I don't know.... you said "solid gaming mouse" and it immediately made me think Logitech. They make great products. Solid.

Michael hit the nail on the head. Great suggestions, Michael. I would also suggest the d3100 (as well as the Rebel T3, actually!) because it is easy to get very high quality shots on it. It has an 11 point autofocus system and "Scene Auto Selector," which lets the camera decide what settings it needs to get the best shots, depending on your shooting conditions. It does everything except take the shot!
What's even cooler is that it also has tons of manual controls (as well as interchangeable lenses) so as she grows as a photographer her camera will be able to keep up. It has the necessary simplicity for a beginner and the complexity needed for a pro. Excellent suggestions here... all good options on this page!

Wow this is a pretty tough question! They are so similar in every way, especially if we compare two 13" models side by side. There are some key differences though!
So for about the same price you can get either one of these machines. The Pro is going to be way faster and more powerful and have more storage. You can get a dual core i5 or a dual core i7 processer (2.3ghz and 2.7ghz respectively) with a Pro, as compared to the 1.7ghz dual core i5 that will come in the 13" Air. You can get up to 8gb RAM in a Pro, while only up to 4gb in Air. For storage Macbook Pro comes with either 320gb or 500gb hard disk, compared to Macbook Air, which maxes out at 256gb. That being said, Air does have flash storage which with no moving parts (better for travel) and starts up insanely fast. (but I think you can get a Pro with flash storage too)
The main thing that Macbook Air does have going for it is its size and weight. It only weighs 2.9 pounds and is incredibly thin. As far as battery life and display the two are pretty evenly matched.
So to sum it all up (you're probably wishing I did this at the beginning rather than the end...) Macbook Pro will give you more power and storage but Macbook Air is ligher and generally more portable.

I'm pretty sure any USB mic will work with Rock Band... correct me if I'm wrong though! This Samson is slightly over your budget but it will sound way better than your standard Rock Band mic. It's actually a super cool mic in that it has both an XLR and a USB output. XLR is the standard mic cable that is used for live music, so you can also use it if you are actually in a band. You can also record directly onto your computer with the USB output without having to buy an interface.
It's not the highest quality mic in the world, but it will sound great for karaoke!

I think this question comes down to iPad 2 or Eed Pad. They are fairly similar but also very different. I am going with Eee Pad because I think it offers a little more in terms of value and specs, but iPad would also be an excellent choice.
There are only 2 things about Eee Pad that I don't like. One is that the app store is not quite as comprehensive as iPads (but it is slowly playing catch up!). The other is that playing iTunes on Eee Pad requires a third party app, which is a bit annoying (but doable.)
Eee Pad does offer slightly better resolution than iPad, and Android 3.2 OS is really fast and awesome. Another cool thing is you can attach a keyboard and you will all of a sudden have yourself a laptop!
It is Powered by NVIDIA Tegra 2 mobile processor. Graphics look great on this thing! It can also play Flash content, unlike iPad.
Like I said, both are good... just comes down to your needs.

I know the screen isn't huge, but you don't really need a huge screen to lay these silly tablet app games, right? It's not like they're super intense or graphics driven.... they're just fun and silly. If you wanted a slightly larger screen you could consider HP's touchpad, but that seems to be geared more towards business people, and honestly doesn't have a huge app selection.
With Fire you can access thousands of apps for games, movies, books, magazines, etc. Play Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies, and all your faves. Oh yeah and you certainly can't beat the price! You could almost get two of them!

Check out the HP touchpad. It's got a big display and a very capable 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core APQ8060 processor. It has a great operating system, and I think the only part that's really lacking is in the app department, but its growing every day.
All around a really nice tablet... check it out.

I think this is the best tablet right now. Sure, iPad has more apps, but there also thousands of droid apps and it's not like you won't be able to find some good ones or anything.
Eee Pad also has better screen resolution, and of course the ability to turn it into a laptop is awesome. It's about the same size as the iPad, too. Really cool machine!

I know people don't usually think about macs when they think business, but this is a very business savvy computer, and is certainly professional looking.
Macs are fast and reliable. They are great for multi tasking and probably can run any program you through at it in a business situation. Also, it can run Mac OS X v10.7 Lion as well as Windows. A PC cannot do that, and it seems like a useful function in the business world.
If you're travelling or spending a lot of time away from the office, you'll be happy to know that battery life is excellent, around 6 or 7 hours. With its 2.4 GHz Dual-Core Intel i5 processor, 4GB DDR3, and 500 GB hard drive, you won't find much better for the price.

You know, usually I would suggest a macbook for a kid, but at this price point you can't really get a new macbook. I think this Acer will be equally useful for your kids, and will actually give you better bang for your buck. Assuming your kids are somewhat technologically savvy (which kids these days always tend to be) they will have no problem geting to know this Acer and manipulating it very easily. The 11.6 inch screen size is very doable for a youngster, so I think size wise we're off to a good start.
It has a 1.33 GHz Intel Core i5-470UM dual-core processor, which isn't great for serious gaming or anything, but for general use it will certainly suffice. It also has 4 GB of installed DDR3 RAM and a 500 GB SATA hard drive... pretty solid for price you're paying.
I am assuming your kids want a laptop for some net browsing, word processing, possibly some school work, and maybe some entertainment. This thing will definitely deliver all those things, but as I said earlier it won't handle graphics intensive games.
Definitely a good option for under 650.
