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. Keep this handy device stuck to your fridge magnetically, or mount it on the kitchen wall with the included kit, and you're set to go. 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. You can also add errands, such as going to the bank or post office. Entries are automatically alphabetized. When you push the Print button, the list is printed with errands at the top and food items by category, to make your shopping expeditions more efficient. Easy and intuitive to use, the SmartShopper is already loaded with state-of-the-art voice recognition software, a thermal printer that doesn't require ink, and 2,500 item names, for everything from brand-name cereals to antacids to paper towels. Three rolls of thermal paper are included as well. All you need to add are four AA batteries. Arrow buttons allow you to scroll through your list, delete an item if you wish, or add a customized item to the pre-loaded list. With its brushed metal exterior, large LCD window, and front-loading door for paper, the SmartShopper makes a great gift, especially for those who may have trouble writing due to arthritis and other health conditions. --Ann Bieri

 Very handy, and fun, too! January 6, 2009

I bought this for my wife for Christmas, and she loves it! It has a great library of shopping items, and has always recognized what is recorded. It then prints the shopping list according to category, so that we are not wandering all over the store to fill the list. A real time saver. On the down side, it appears that the instruction sheet that comes with the unit has not been updated for the current model, and I had to send an email to technical support about what I thought was a problem. It turned out that what the unit was doing was normal, but it was not listed in the manual anywhere. Overall, this is a great time saver, a good tool, and lots of fun to use!

The unit is defective and will not power off. There is no on/off switch and the manual states that the unit will shut itself off after 5 seconds of inactivity. Never happened. Batteries were dead in a few days.
There is no policy to return it for a replacement so we are sending it back for a refund.
My wife and I both love this. January 2, 2009

My wife is fond of making shopping lists, but I always seem to miss things on the list when I go shopping, because it is not in any particular order. This machine automatically organizes the list into categories so you can easily avoid missing items. For the most part the voice recognition works, and when it doesn't you can train it. However, some words just don't seem to work well, but once we have learned what to say, it is becoming easier. And even with the extra time it may take to train it, it is still faster than going from one side of the grocery store to the other because you missed an item.
Love it! January 1, 2009

This is the best thing ever! I was so skeptical since reading reviews but I am so glad I got it! I have had NO problem with voice and/or item recognition, it is so simple to add your own items. I love that you can have multiple lists so I can have one for Walmart and a separate one for Costco. I couldn't ask for a better product to make my grocery shopping so much easier!
GREAT! Way better than expected! December 31, 2008

Just a quick thumbs up for this product. I bought this as a gift for my wife. I was hoping it would work and that she'd enjoy it, but I really didn't have that high of hopes. For this price, how could the technology actually be very good?
Well, we have been very pleasantly surprised. The speech recognition is great even with our slight southern drawl. And the item list is quite exhaustive. Adding items is a snap, too, once we realized that you can "speak" the letters instead of having to scroll through the list for them.
And this thing has really impressed our friends! It's the talk whenever anyone comes over. Everyone wants to play with it and when they finish they say, "I've got to have one!"
So needless to say we're quite happy. We hope its durability is as good as its functionality. If so, we'll be using this bad boy for years to come.
