Good: The Panasonic MC-UL429 JetForce Bagless Upright Vacuum offers some truly customizable tools that you can use with the extension hose, such as a telescoping crevice tool or 3-position fan/blind brush. It also picked up 100 percent of sand/sawdust on hard floors.
Bad: Less than stunning performance coupled with a short warranty make this vacuum less appealing, especially compared to other, similarly priced units that boast both better performance and warranties.
Bottom Line: Spend a little more and get much better performance with other vacuums. [Read more]

Good: The Asus Transformer Book T100 runs full Windows 8.1, comes with a keyboard, has great battery life, and is a steal if you can find it for $350.
Bad: The cramped keyboard feels like an old Netbook's used to; not as fast as zippier, larger, more expensive Windows products; display not that vibrant.
Bottom Line: The Asus Transformer Book T100 revives the Netbook value proposition (and Netbook usability issues) in a budget-priced 10-inch laptop that doubles as a tablet. You won't love it, but for sheer bang for the buck, it's hard to beat. [Read more]

Good: The Cel-Fi Plug and Play boosts cell signal a great deal for a big home or an office building. The device is easy to use and multiple units can be used together to enhance coverage for a large area.
Bad: The device is very expense, works only with GSM cell signal, and is carrier-specific.
Bottom Line: The Cel-Fi is an effective solution to extend T-Mobile or AT&T signal to where you couldn't get it before, but it's cost-prohibitive for homes and hence suitable mostly or business users. [Read more]

Good: The Yale Real Living Touchscreen Z-Wave Deadbolt features a sophisticated design, speaks three languages, and boasts easy-to-use controls. For basic lock automation, it does the job nicely, and works with a wide number of systems.
Bad: Like a lot of smart deadbolts, this Yale lock is pretty bulky, requiring a good deal of real estate on the inside of your door. Also, you won't be able to schedule temporary access codes with it.
Bottom Line: If you're looking for a higher level of convenience from your lock, but you don't want to pay monthly fees, then you'll want to give this deadbolt your consideration. [Read more]
