Good quality!
Setup: setup was very simple and easy. It was far easier than expected, it is really a plug and play unit. Didn’t have to struggle with settings, thanks to the user guide, it was very user intuitive. I was surprised to see that the cameras came with long enough cables so I can setup cameras for my 2000 sqft home quite easily.
Quality / ease of use: I was amazed by the quality of the video - 4K quality was honestly mind blowing. Even the night mode on the camera is just amazing! I love the mobile app and it so quite easy to use and gives appropriate notifications, talk back, monitoring zones and alarm. The color night vision feature really enhances the quality of the picture even during low light. 2TB storage is just good enough to get started with the monitoring recordings.
The biggest advantage of this camera is there si no subscription fees. Also the expandability of the camera is good.
Overall, a solid monitoring system. More value for the money. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Honestly, this is the first time trying out a wine preservation system. The Coravin model 5 is very simple and easy to use. The wine needle helps pour wine very smoothly on to the glasses. The rubberized handle really helps with firm grip on the system and makes it easy for usage. The taste of the wine is greatly retained with the system even after a week of preservation. I tried couple of wines with and without and I could really feel the difference in taste.
The most important cost savings benefit I see from this system is - waste less wine when you cannot drink a full bottle within a short period and also this helps us in tasting variety of wines without having the fear of wasting. The only minor con that I could think of is the build quality. For the money, this can certainly have better build quality.
I would certainly recommend to all wine lovers.

This is a very ordinary speaker with some light effects. Sound quality is normal and lacks clarity and bass. Connecting to the speaker via Bluetooth was quite simple. Lights have different modes that can be operated via a remote.
Mooni needs to work on sound quality.

It takes about 4-5 seconds for a page to be scanned. It is vey handy and can scan small items like drivers license.
The best part is that it works with a simple and straightforward USB connection to a laptop. I ran a page of my bank statement through the scanner and the scan quality was very good. I like the software and the small pop up it generated. All it took was to insert the statement and hit the start/stop button easily found on the top of the unit. It took a number of seconds and then it did a fast scan. The pop up stated it was done and had a button to click if I wanted to open the file that it was saved in. Allows setup of multiple workflows for one-click scanning in a variety of formats - text, pdf, jpeg, etc.
There's a movable guide on the feed with markings for A4, B5, A5, A6, and a symbol that looks like envelope (I'll have to check it out in the manual). The unit is very portable, 11.5 inches wide by 1 inch tall and 2 inches deep. It weighs under 1.5 lbs according to the box.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Take professional-grade pictures with this Sony wireless shooting grip. Bluetooth technology allows cable-free connection to compatible cameras, while the contoured design helps increase stability and comfort during use. This Sony wireless shooting grip has a flexible tilt function for positioning the camera, and the integrated legs spread to create a tripod for hands-free operation.

This is a versatile, reliable and wireless Bluetooth shooting grip and tripod, ideal for many different types of content creation ranging from vlogs to travel to simple everyday use. It is very easy to setup, pairs up with the song camera very easily. There is a button to quickly change from normal to selfie mode.
The presence of an indicator for battery status is very helpful. I was able to use the tripod for almost about a day on full charge. There’s also a “flip” button that allows you to rotate the camera 180° without removing it from the 1/4″-20 attachment, and the grip portion can be expanded to function as a tabletop tripod. The grip communicates with compatible Sony cameras using Bluetooth, and it features a dust and moisture “resistant” design that should stand up to some light abuse, but is not dust and moisture “proof.”
It is definitely a bit pricey, but is a very comfortable and easy to use tripod/grip. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Take eye-catching photos with this Sony Alpha 6100 mirrorless digital camera with 16-50mm lens. The BIONZ X image processor coupled with the 24.2MP CMOS sensor ensures images of the highest quality. The 16-50mm lens offers a 24-75mm equivalent focal length range, making this Sony Alpha 6100 mirrorless digital camera ideal for portraits and even nighttime photography.
Posted by: Honestreviewer151987

The A6100 is an entry level Sony Mirrorless camera. This is my first time experiencing a mirrorless or a full frame camera.
First impressions: (in comparison to a typical DSLR - I have Canon T7i)
The Sony A6100 is super light with a nice smooth finish. I find it very comfortable to hold. The view finder, unlike a DSLR camera is on the left side of the camera, which might require a little time to get used to. Screen clarity is awesome, typical Sony quality. The 16-50 lens is definitely a starter and needs an upgrade. Battery can charge inside the camera, so I can use external battery packs as needed.
The auto focus system is great, it helps you take sharp images really easily. Simple and effective autofocus system, Excellent Raw Quality, touchscreen, there's no camera that makes it so easy to capture unique moments of your life. Picture quality is amazing including the low light. Relatively low-resolution electronic viewfinder. New features include ‘Eye AF’ for animals instead of just for humans, while adding AI-based real-time tracking - this is amazing!! This automatically focuses on eyes wherever they move within the frame.
Autofocus speed is incredibly quick, rated at 1/50th of a second. That’s three times faster than in the A6000 and far better than my DSLR.

Since the Alpha line is so popular, there's tons of online tutorials and guides for using this camera.
Cons:
Sony makes great hardware, but they fall flat on their face when it comes to creating usable software and apps. The app used for transferring pictures - Imaging Edge is a text book example of Sony's inability to consider user experience when designing an app. Clearly, this was made by hardware engineers and not UI/UX designers. Which would be acceptable, if the app actually worked as intended. The setup for WiFi to transfer photos is really confusing and poorly documented, but at least that works. No amount of playing with settings in the app or camera seem to help. My only option is to uninstall the app, re-install the app and set it up again from the beginning. And now I need to find a new way to geo-tag my photos because the Sony Imaging Edge Mobile app has failed.

In my view, this is a five star camera with a one star mobile app. If geotagging and mobile apps are not a priority for you, you should definitely go for this camera.

Clean up tough messes with this Hoover ONEPWR cordless high-capacity utility vacuum kit. A powerful motor provides up to 65 cfm of suction, and the included hose and extension wands make accessing hard-to-reach areas easy. This Hoover ONEPWR cordless high-capacity utility vacuum kit includes a rechargeable battery that offers up to 15.6 minutes of runtime.

The vacuum is fairly compact given that I want a good capacity for the detritus it sucks up, and it is light enough to carry around. Though this is smaller than some, you really don't notice because after filling it half weigh--it becomes quite heavy and I don't know if any messes that you'd need to fill tanks up. The 4 gallon high capacity tank can hold just about anything that needs to be vacuumed up.
I love that this vac can go anywhere you need it.
It's powered by the Hoover universal battery. This battery is used in several Hoover products. It runs right out of the box but requires about 4 hrs or less to fully charge. Obviously, this means you plug the battery into a charging cradle, which is included. The hose stores conveniently on top of the tank and the whole systems rolls up easily and efficiently to the job site. The system comes with 3 years warranty which is really good.

The only negative for me is that I did not see any additional accessories to buy for the dry vac, I would have liked to have a power brush to be able to suction the dog hair better.
Overall, this is the best wet/ dry vacuum I’ve ever owned. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

I have not really been a fan of Facebook messenger. There are lot of other good chatting apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat that are being used by most of the people. This portal device is slowly changing my usage pattern. I have started using Facebook messenger to talk to people and I love the person tracking in built software in this device. You can use the Portal app from your phone or tablet, but you’ll have to watch as your family members enjoy the Portal's greater convenience on the other end. It has a round, hand-sized speaker on the back, a really good camera, an omnidirectional four-microphone array, and a large charger plug that doubles as a stand. You can turn off the camera and mics with a switch.
Setup was pretty simple. To set it up, you plug it in, turn it on, connect your Facebook account, and start chit-chatting with your Facebook contacts. Although you need a Facebook account to use the Portal, you can also call your WhatsApp contacts.
The mics do a great job of picking up your voice; you don't feel the need to shout as you move around the room. Portal is Alexa-enabled, so I use portal sometime to play music as it has a pretty good speaker. When the Portal isn't in use, it becomes a digital picture frame. Clarity of pictures is really good on the device. You can draw photos easily from your Facebook or Instagram accounts, or add photos from your phone via the Portal app. Facebook has addressed privacy concerns by letting us disable the microphone or cover the camera by flipping a physical switch. We don't need to open a new Facebook account solely to use the Portal, but if we still have one, the Portal is a very nice thing to have.
I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

One of the best iPhone cases I have come across. The case is solid strong and protects my iPhone really well. I have dropped the iPhone twice with this case and haven’t seen any damages to case nor the phone itself.
The volume up down and side buttons are very easy and soft to operate on the iPhone. Some case make it tougher to use the buttons.
This is not a clear case, it looks pretty white around the corners.
Overall, a good product. I would recommend it.

First impressions: the boxing was really good. I love the carrying case as it is of really good quality and pretty solid. One of the best colors I’ve seen in headphones in the market. Black & brown is very stylish and appealing.
Setup is quite simple and quick. It literally took a few seconds to connect to my iPhone with Bluetooth connection. Comfort is the best I've seen by Skullcandy. Most headphones I can't wear for long periods but I've used this headphone continuously for 8 hours and it still felt very comfortable.
Sound quality: I’ve had a Skullcandy headphones earlier which is way less expensive which wasn’t very impressive, and lacked sound quality. But this headphone is one is the best from Skullcandy. Sound quality is amazing with great bass effect. Skullcandy is clearly trying to innovate here and not just making another expensive ANC headphone. The bass is tight, well damped, and so broad that it blends in with music beautifully. With the slider I can dial in as much or as little as I want. This headphone will literally rattle your eyeballs if you want, but it is also capable of very subtle low frequency extension. Remarkable. In addition, the headphone has a well balanced response when the haptic bass is set to zero. Call sound quality is really good for the receiver.
The app is pretty easy to use and has minimum features.
All in all, this is the most unique headphone experiences I've seen. Balancing all these different technologies in one headphone must have been quite a feat of engineering. Good job Skullcandy!

Enjoy your music with these Sony Extra Bass MDRXB950BT/B headphones, which feature Electronic Bass Boost circuitry for deep low-end sound. Bluetooth technology with AAC and aptX support allows easy wireless pairing with compatible devices.
How can I charge battery?
Like the direction says, I've connected the headphone with my laptop for over 3 hours (laptop not hibernating) but just when I turn the headphone on, blue and red light beeps alternatively and shuts down almost immediately. I just received this item from ups and it's already causing problem.
It works fine for me.. I charged the headphones with my laptop for like 4 hrs and it is fully charged..
