The Garmin Oregon handheld brings the intuitive touch-screen interface to the world of rugged handheld GPS devices, and without sacrificing high-end features for even the most rigorous of backcountry expeditions. As About.com states in its editorial review, “Garmin takes another giant step toward taking the “geek factor” out of handheld GPS navigators and making them easy-to-use and consumer friendly.”

The Saeco Vienna stands out as one of only a few 4-star sub-$500 super-automatic espresso makers. The Saeco Vienna is the most economical quality super-automatic unit, its price on par with many of the semi-automatic units we’ve reviewed. Considering that there’s no need to purchase a separate burr grinder (which could set you back another $200-300) since one is already integrated into the unit, the Vienna is remarkably cost competitive. The Saeco Vienna has earned solid 4-star marks from its owners, and even earned a “Top 5” spot in sub-$500 machines at About.com.

There is an owner enthusiasm surrounding the FrancisFrancis! line of espresso machines from Illy that’s difficult to describe. Not quite a cult following, but more a deep appreciation of a quality, reliable Italian product that’s fun to use and aesthetically pleasing, all from a company that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Like the popular X1 and X3 models, the X7 is the work of Italian designer/architect Luca Trazzi, and appeals to those who seek a full-functioned semi-automatic pump espresso maker without sacrificing unique artistic design.

De’Longhi’s BAR32 Retro espresso maker has become one of the most popular pump-driven espresso units, and it’s easy to see why. It offers surprising versatility for an espresso maker in its class while available at a very competitive sub-$100 price tag offering features typically found in higher-end units.

With its C90 and C100 series, Nespresso has essentially created a new class of espresso makers, the single-serve automatic capsule machine, and they got it right — so much so that the Nespresso Essenza C101 is our “Top Pick” in the category.

Garmin’s nuvi 1200, 1300 and 1400 series introduce the thinnest, most pocketable units yet as the new CityXplorer feature brings a wealth of new GPS features to the pedestrian, navigating an unfamilar city by foot or mass transit…
