Reviewer: Justin Nelson,
My in laws got one and had NO idea how to use it. They used as a TV only until I came over. lol

Adding recipes isnt very tech friendly. You must type your recipes in mspaint or another photo editing program and save them as jpgs. you can then add them to the bon-apetite folder on the actual unit by hooking up usb cable to laptop\desktop. your computer will see a bunch of removable drives. You then find the recipe folders. transfer the jpgs to the bonapetite folder, then you can move them to their correct folder as favorites (soups, entrees, etc). You have to name them in the correct way too. they start from 001 to 100. When you add the jpg you must name it in the right # sequence. This is the only way i could get it to work. You can also do screenshots of [...]or other cooking websites, save as jpeg and then transfer them.

You will also need external speakers because the sound sucks.

The wireless is just to stream picasa pictures.. thats it. You have to install a yahoo widget to access the ubnit to transfer pics directly to it. Better off to do everything via usb.

The manual was garbage. I am a very experienced techie and it took me a couple hours to setup all the features.

very cool idea, but i dont think they got it right the first time. Ill probably still buy one... but the average computer user wont be able to use all the features without help imo

I have watched for this item to become available for a long time, and was terribly disappointed. Very poor picture quality, poor volume control, one cannot enter recipes, only upload a link...

Nice frame, but the blue play arrow kills it

Purchased the 15" highest-end model. Nice frame and the on/off clock is what I really liked about it. However, the play blue arrow that continuously shows over your pics on the lower right hand of the screen just kills the deal. What a deal breaker.
Do not buy

Do not buy this product. It does not do what it advertises. I purchased it for my wife for Christmas.

The recipe feature only has a few recipes from Bon Appetit, not the entire collection as I was led to believe.

It is a touch Frame, not a Touchscreen. The touch frame worked for about 2 weeks.

The remote control barely worked when new, now it is non working.

The mount is poorly made. It seems sturdy, but it's adjustments to create friction to hold the screen in place simply don't work, no matter how hard you tighten them. The mounting screws are total junk, the heads strip right off of them. I have to lean my set against my backsplash, or it pivots forward on the mount.

The picture quality is terrible, and the set does not have enough volume to hear it if anything else is going on in the room, even at max level.

Worst of all, I emailed the company to complain, and they don't even return the emails.

A definite mistake to buy. I can't believe they're actually advertising this product as being so great. IT IS JUNK!
Great Idea That Does Not Deliver

Don't buy this product. It is not at all what it claims to be.The advertised how to videos are not included, customer support is rude. They are no help. Not a true touch screen. No way to add your own recipes as you are led to believe in the descriptions. I saved and saved for this product and have been very disappointed in it and the rude so called customer service.
