Product Description

A useful addition to any busy household, this electronic grocery-list organizer makes it easy to keep track of needed items come shopping day. The unit features a user-friendly control panel with a digital display, and it can be kept on the refrigerator door or other central location for quick access--no need to track down a pen and paper. To use, either scroll through the 2500+ items in the built-in library by pushing the up/down arrows, then push "select" to add it to the list, or simply press the "record" button and say the item out loud for hands-free operation; the device comes equipped with advanced voice-recognition technology, making it convenient for both younger family members or those who may have trouble writing due to arthritis or other health problems. Add anything from food, beverages, and health and beauty items to cleaning, school, and office supplies. It can even learn new items. The handy time-saving device not only adds items to the list, but it also automatically organizes the list into categories, which helps facilitate more efficient shopping expeditions. Even more, it can keep track of two separate lists simultaneously, can designate quantities and flag items that users have coupons for, and, thanks to its category-management function, can match the list to a store's layout, make changes, and add categories. It even comes with a built-in kitchen timer. When it's time to head to the store, simply press the "print" button for a list that slips easily into a pocket or purse. Save time, money, and frustration--no more second trips for forgotten items or buying excess items that were already in the cupboard. The grocery-list organizer measures 6-2/5 by 3-3/5 by 1-2/5 inches.

did not work for me at all
by just a housewife (1 out of 5 stars)

I so badly needed this device to work (to arrange the categories for shopping) but it did not. I bought it because reviews were mixed and some said it worked great. Well, take the simplest example: eggs. I said eggs clearly 5 times (it said 'no such item' 4 times) then brings up a list of possible items I am then supposed to select from, and eggs is one of them. It all takes way more time than wriitng it down. This went on for every food item i spoke and i do not have an accent. Very frustrating and time consuming! had to return it sadly, but the vendor was great and provided a full refund. This gadget is worse than my car audio navigational, which is bad. They just don't have voice recognition down yet.

the print quality is marginal at best.

I use this device to keep track of what I need to purchase at the grocery store. It's kind of neat to print out a list and take it with you. There is also another list available for daily errands that can be printed out. You can customize the items in memory, and add categories, as needed. The only issue I have with this third generation model is the print quality. The device uses thermal printing, so there is no ink cartridge to replace. But the paper roll used must be thermal paper of a particular size, which is still readily available, even though SmartShopper is no longer in business. Unfortunately, the print quality is marginal at best.

A favorite of mine
by Beth (5 out of 5 stars)

This is one of my very favorite luxury products. I never could find a pencil to write down something that I needed from the store. I would just try to remember and when I'd get to the store I'd wind up coming home without some things that I needed. But with the smart shopper, anytime I think of something I need I just go over to the refrigerator and put in the product. When I'm ready to go shopping I print the list and take it with me. It's just amazing!

Can't do without it.

This is my second one in about 14 years. I love it. You can customize according to special items you buy. Items are categorized by departments. Makes getting out of the store quicker. You do need to keep extra thermal paper on hand and batteries but at least it is a readable organized list. As I run out of things I just push a button and speak. That's it.

This Is The Smartest Shopper In The House
by Judy L. York (5 out of 5 stars)

I read several negative reviews about the predecessors to the Smart Shopper SS-301, and I was reluctant to purchase this one ... but then I figured that maybe "the 3rd time's the charm" and I was right. It is a great tool and remembers everything we've said to it, even when we don't. The list of items is always visible on the screen, we can add stuff as we think of it, and it wouldn't budge from the refrigerator door if the sky fell in. We've had no trouble with it recognizing items in my voice or my husband's. It has a huge list of items already programmed into its memory, and if we want a specific item by brand, we just add it to the library with a few key strokes. We shop a lot at Costco and the local supermarket as well, and it maintains a separate list for each. I actually bought it for my husband at Christmas since he shops more frequently, but I wasn't sure he'd use it ... but he does, all the time ... and if it didn't work properly, he wouldn't spend 5 minutes with it. Whatever the manufacturer did to improve upon the previous Smart Shoppers, they did it very well. I would recommend this to anyone who prefers a readable, organized list to work from, rather than a few scribbles on a scrap of paper or a less than pefect memory.

Does not recognize hardly anything. Even after doing the improve recognition. Didn't have that problem with the older model.

I love electronics and was excited to receive the Smart Shopper for making my lists! I continually write lists then can't find them and then don't remember all that was written. Hopefully this wiil help to elimenate my constant list losses. Only time will tell how this will continue to operate so don't have any thing to say about it's longevity!

Not ready for prime time. The voice recognition is not very good with the result that you wind up repeating items. Only recognizes a specific list of grocery items. I went back to paper.

Just what we needed.
by historian (4 out of 5 stars)

This little gem has solved a big problem for me. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and have arthritis in my hands. My husband can do the grocery shopping, but he can't read my writing. Once we get all of the items we buy regularly loaded in, grocery day will be much more pleasant. It is really convenient to have it on the side of the refrigerator and be able to grab it whenever we use the last of a product. On the other hand, my husband has a little problem reading the list without his glasses, a small problem. The important thing to remember is to speak the words in a normal tone. It is tempting to speak slowly and precisely. That doesn't work.

Had this thing for about six months now... The voice recognition on this is terrible... I'll add new products to it and it never recognizes the product... Needs to go back to the lab for some tweaking

Perfect!

This little thing has helped me so much! I just love it! I've had it for about a month now and I use it almost every day. I have absolutely no problem with it not recognizing what I am saying. It was simple and easy to add products that werent on the list like butterscotch chips. My husband has had fun adding many other things that you cannot get at the grocery store if you know what I mean! I like that you can have more than one list at a time and that errands are also an option. It's a wonderful product and I am so happy that I bought it.
