I have had this printer for three days. I purchase local at brick and mortar store due to better pricing. It was purchased to serve as a backup printer to my Canon MX870 inkjet printer. You need a backup laser printer when you have a 9 year old printing everything that comes to her mind to an inkjet!
My setup consists of two laptops computers running Windows 7 plus one Mac running OSv10.6. Before installing the printer, I did some reading online and read about how easy it was to perform a WIFI set up for this printer in Windows and how hard it was to set up in the Mac.
First, I set up the two Windows 7 laptops. Set up was very easy. You plug in the included USB cable to the laptop and the printer runs its own installation program. Windows drivers are preinstalled on the printer and are downloaded to the laptop. During installation, you are prompted to select WIFI. In my case, as I have a secured network, so I was prompted for the network password. Once entered, the printer connects to the network and you are done.
Now, installation on the Mac is another story. First, no Mac drivers are installed in the printer, so installation is performed from an included CD. However, you still need to plug the printer to the Mac using the USB cable and complete a USB installation. Then you need to delete the printer, disconnect the USB cable and then add the printer as a WIFI connection. The problem is that this is not what the included instructions say!
More detail on the Mac installation can be found in the HP Customer Care website. Look for a document titled: “Macintosh: Installing the Product Software in Mac OS X v10.6 for a Wireless Network Connection”.
The only drawback is the cost of toner and the expected yield from a toner cartridge, which is rated at only 1,500 pages. Other wireless laser printer in the same price range, like the Brother HL-2170W and the Samsung ML-2525W yield an estimated 2,500 pages and also the toner cost is a little cheaper. However, Mac install

My wife loves this immersion blender, and my kids use it every day to make milk shakes. They were amazed the first time they whipped cream with it, and the cream transformed so fast it was like the blender was a magic wand. It doesn’t come with plastic bowls and 9 speeds like a competing product, but its 2 speeds are enough and we already have plastic bowls falling out of the cabinets.

Great carpet cleaner. I went with this model after MUCH research b/c my parents bought the same one about 10 years ago and have NEVER had an issue with theirs. After borrowing theirs for 4 years, I decided that it was time to buy my own.Sometimes the vac doesn’t suck- but that is b/c I don’t always have the canister locked into place. With an infant and 2 large dogs…this was a great purchase and it does a wonderful job!

I loved this book so much I’ve read it twice and have suggested it to many friends and family! 5 stars isn’t enough!

I have had this 2-slice toaster for about 4 months and stopped using it last week after I bought a $29 Oster as a replacement. Toasting bread with this Kitchen Aid takes about three times as long as a regular toaster. The highest setting (9) takes about 4 minutes to complete, yet toasts come out a little brown but still too soft for my taste (and I like them to be soft inside, not like biscotti!) For the second cycle, though, I have to readjust the setting to about 3-4, then pull down the lever, and finally turn the On/Off knob to turn the toaster on. Too many steps for one slice of bread. All in all, each slice takes about 6-7 minutes to toast.
The toaster does look nice and is heavy, which I liked at first when I received it 4 months ago, and the signal it gives when the toasting cycle is complete is nice. But, in the end, who cares about that?? I prefer a toaster that fulfills its main function properly.
KitchenAid Pro Line 2
This is a well-designed product and looks pretty cool. I bought the extra memory to store more “stuff” and if you can affird the extra money for a higher gig storage I would recommend it. For its size, I have no complaints. I would have given it a 5-star, but deducted one because the user documentation / how to use leaves a lot to be desired and required a lot of fumbling around and caused a lot of frustration.

For the price this was an outstanding value. It doesn’t have some of the high features you might like in a $150 vaccum, but I can more than live without an extra attachment or a clean/dirty light indicator. Good vaccum great price.
