CEDIA 2009: 8 Things I Really Want for my Own House
Julie Jacobson returned from CEDIA 2009 with a giant shopping list, including mounts, door locks, furniture, motorized shades and more
image

10.01.2009 — CEDIA Expo is not just for exploring new technologies and enlightening CE Pros.

It's also a great place for doing your own virtual shopping – virtual as in, "If I had the money, I would buy …." Virtual shopping also applies to products that are not yet available, and ones that are inexpensive enough, but you couldn't be bothered to install them.

After CEDIA Expo 2009, I came away with a nice shopping list for my own home -- some items I've coveted for years; others that are brand spankin' new.

Check them out in the slideshow.

Automated door locks
Motorized shades
Bass modern seating
Mitsubishi Unisen TV with surround sound
Auton flip-down TV mount
Sonance TruFIG
Stewart Filmscreen Starglas
Ceton multistream Digital Cable Tuner
Not at CEDIA: LED countertops and Bell'O cabinet

Julie,
I’m surprised at you! I thought you would have included the new THX Certified Roomba Mach II in your list.

Features include;
*Harmony Tactile remote control.
*Sunfire patent pending “Extra Suck” technology.
McIntosh Tube “Glow In The Dark” power supply. (KT-88’s included for only an extra $2K)
*Digital Video Essentials Wheel Alignment Disc.
*Vizio “Cat Cam” monitor.
*Wadia IPOD docking station.
*David Richards “Garden Weasel” attachment.
*Comeback Dot Hub Caps.

Julie, these are the windows you need and will want. While they may not be motorized they do solve the efficiency problem of 50+ year windows (green is the way to go) and deteriorating binds/cords. They’re so easy to use that you won’t need motors and won’t have to buy the C4 system that you can’t afford because you spent the money on new windows with integrated blinds/shades.

Bell’O makes beautiful furniture… However, try to get all the required parts you need in the box to put it together on the first try. In the past 7 years, they have consistently screwed up every order. Let’s also not forget that their shipping packaging sucks!!! Unless the furniture is strapped down to a pallet, something will be damaged upon arrival.

I’d like to strongly suggest you check out BDI for a more reliable and less expensive solution.
