[2] ... Review | This nifty organizer from SmartShopper eliminates the need to dig up a pad of paper and a pencil and try to remember what you need when you want to make a shopping list.

At breakfast when the milk runs out, simply push the Record button and say "milk." At lunch when you realize you're out of bread, push and speak again. Kids will love helping out.

It's easiest to pull cable through this plate when it's mounted to a low-voltage wall plate. If I need to do this type of installation again, I'll be purchasing this product again! ...more

Otherwise, it is a perfect solution to eliminate 4 connections in a typical wire job. ...more
