Great Headphones, Could be Better Instructions
on July 13, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
First, I was glad to see that this item is not only well packaged within its box, but that the actual headphones and all its accessories, USB and wired cords, nicely fit within a black, hard-shell case that has a loop for ease with carrying. In fact, the 2 different cords are in their own egg-shaped compartment that uses Velcro to attach to a corner within the bigger case.
Next, I received the blue metallic headphones and they are very pleasing visually. Additionally, the oval-shaped, cushioned ear covers are very comfortable and do not feel cumbersome.
Since I recently received this item and was almost immediately asked to provide a review, I only have had time to use an Android device to Bluetooth these headphones with; that part went smoothly. One of the nice things is that all the controls are on the right-labeled ear and the plug in is on the left. A user can determine the degree of how much noise canceling they want which is great depending on what is going on around them, what they are doing,, and how much awareness one would need in the environment they are in. Great sound. I did not have time to test the manufacturer's note that there is a 15 hour battery life.

Great Set of Headphones
on July 2, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
These headphones are pretty great and even more. To start with, all the ear bud options, sizes, make it easy to find the right fit for your ear since all ears are not created the same. In this case, the instructions make it very easy on how to figure out how to pair with the Bluetooth with your type of mp3, smartphone, etc.. The Bluetooth connectivity has amazing quality I have never been dropped or disconnected; also great range of connection. I charged it initially and it still is going strong. I previously used an older version of Dr. Beats wired headphones and I have noticed that these JLab Epic's do not run the phone's battery nearly down to the same degree the Beets did. The only con I could say, if it is a con, is that the case to hold all of this is a little bigger then an iPod Nano and it would be nice if it was a little bigger to accommodate all the pieces that come with these headphones..

Compact but Expensive
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
The HP Spectre X2 is clearly HP's current attempt to stay on track with Microsoft's Surface Pro machines. I believe my 25 year old son bought the first Surface Pro out for around $250, maybe 4 years ago. While I realize the need for these tech companies to continually have goodies that are different, better, sleeker, etc., to this 58 year old CPA who uses desktop computers every day of my professionsl life, the market cost of about $1,300 in my opinion is high. While HP has designed this to be a laptop/tablet, I believe it is most useful as a tablet. Anyone doing serious work in a financial program would find it quite impossible without a separate number pad. Also, while the keys are easy to see and punch and there is a function key to backlight the keyboard, I wonder at what toll to the battery life leaving the backlit feature engaged costs the life of the battery.
I am not a tech guru, but do appreciate the sleek lines, lightweight, soundless, no seemingly moving parts that are featured in this machine. I never did use Windows 8 or 8.1 when it came out, but stuck with 7. So, having Windows 10 is a good compromise for me personally. I can explore how to use the tiles, but am still most comfortable with the 7 desktop appearance. The setup of Windows 10 was easy and in fact all setup, email, etc. did not require any IT personnel, and did not tax my brain.
I definitely love that this is easy to transport and travel with. Clearly, I cannot yet determine how well it will hold up and how easy and cost effective it will be to repair should anything not work quite right. However, the price is high enough where one would not simply toss a non-functioning Spectre, but rather attempt to repair it.
I did use the pen and it writes just fine on this machine. This ensemble came with the laptop/tablet, the pen, the main charger, a short cable with USB, and an electric wall plug in. There is a built in Windows 10 tutorial when pressing the Function 1 key. In fact a lot of commands are within the function key row above. Very little paper is included with owner's manuals and user instructions; essentially, they rely on the user to go online and review or download. The resolution is great. Things that I have not considered- ease of mouse installation and usage, but I do see that the it has found my wireless printers and I am going to install them on this machine so that I can print from this too.

Solid and Stable
on June 12, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
Just recently received this grill and the email request for a review was upon me before I really had time to use it. Therefore, I have only prepared a couple of things with it using the grill plates only. First, although it was packed very well in its box by the manufacturer and there was no apparent damage on shipping, there was some kind of abrasion on the right side hinge, looking straight on at it, that was there when I opened it.
This is a very sleek-looking, solid piece of equipment that has a non-skid surface on the bottom which creates great stability for cooking. I used it to Grill/BBQ in the total open position that required use of the most counter surface. I wish the electric cord for the plugin was longer because when grilling, it must be placed on a counter surface that does not have any overhead cabinets from a safety and grease standpoint. In my kitchen that would either be on a peninsula that does not have a plugin close enough without using an extension cord or my island which does. So, the length of the cord limits where I can use my electric grill.
Cooking and the ability to control time and temperature were great. One of the things I prepared was marinated chicken breasts. The owner's manual suggested putting some oil on the grates and I did that with peanut oil; knowing that other type oils could also be used. At any rate, the meat never stuck to the grill plates and the clean up in this instance was easy. I had also cooked hot dogs and did not use any oil on the plates as they secret liquids as they cook and sticking was not an issue.
I see that there is a cookbook app that can be used, but because I wanted to get this review in now, I will admit that I did not have time to access and use it. When I went to the Google App Store, I put the name of this product in the search bar and it is there. This is what it says:
"In accordance with the type and the quantity of food you want to cook, the app suggests the best plate position, temperature and cooking time settings. Incredibly easy to use, the app helps you to manage the most delicate stages of cooking, giving you precise instructions and tips for perfect results every time. It also features a handy recipe book filled with a host of delicious new dishes to try" There were 5 app reviews giving it a rating of 2.8 out of 5. However, I have not used the app yet so I cannot personally comment on it.

Bissell Really Spins
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
Just used this on sealed hardwood floors and porcelain tile floors. Very easy to assemble and use. I was using a steam mop to clean my floors before this and it left streaks on the hardwoods. However, I like how the hardwoods look after cleaning with this floor mop better; no streaking. The mop is very light and the movement with the spinners is effortless; it easily moves on its own.
I live in an area with very hard water and the directions call for the use of warm water and then addition of the Bissell cleaning agent in the reservoir. However, I want to use distilled water because years ago I had a Bissell floor mop that stopped working because the minerals in the tap water plugged it up. So, the problem is that I cannot use warm tap water since I am using distilled. There are specific instructions not to microwave or boil the water used, so my water is room temperature, not warm. I first vacuum my floors before mopping to get up any debris. When I first ordered this mop, I did not realize that it was not a steam-type mop that water heated before I would use it for cleaning. That would be a nice feature-for the mop to heat like a steam mop and warm tap water was not needed, especially for those of us who have very hard water that would eventually destroy the mop with its minerals. It will take time to see if this mop holds up better than the first electric Bissell floor mop I bought years ago from QVC.

Stays on Clothes
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
Quite honestly, I did not know what to expect. I am 58 and wanted a portable speaker that would be useful taking walks and exercising. First, It arrives in a clam shell package and you need a good scissor to open it up. Second, it is pretty small, less than 3 inches in length, less than 1.5 inches in width, and about .5 inches at its greatest width. It is an optimal size to attach to some part of the user's clothing and is unobtrusive in its weight and size. The heavy duty rubberized clip is very good at keeping it attached to the user's clothing and there is a warning as to the optimal clothing width on which it works. Synching it to an IPod MP3 player and a Samsung Galaxy 7 phone, different platforms, was easy. A USB plug attached to the bottom of the unit is inside a heavy rubberized cover that can be moved out of the way when you want to charge the unit. In fact, that is the first thing you need to do when you are getting ready to use it.
The unit beeps a blue light when turned on to let you know that it is charged and you push on the + and - signs on the side to sync, make the sound louder and softer, pause, change the song or track, and do all necessary tasks. The maximum loudness this unit can generate is limited due to the size of the speaker on only one side of the unit; the other side has the clip which lays on top of the item of clothing that attaches it to your body. That is my only slight disappointment, the loudness that this unit can produce. However, like I said all of that needs to be considered based on the cost of the speaker and the size.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. The SoundLink Revolve Portable Bluetooth speaker delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 12 hours.

Easy Peasy to Connect
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
It is so easy to connect this Bose Revolve Bluetooth Speaker; I connected this to an Apple product, the IPod, and to an android device, the Samsung Galaxy S7 telephone. It was so easy and seamless to connect this speaker to both very different devices. The speaker actually talks to you in whatever language you program it and tells you that it has acquired and connected to the device. My music started playing immediately and the sound was great. As you can see, the controls are on the top and use of this speaker is very intuitive, even for first time, non-experienced users. Great sound, easy to use, nice on the eyes, lots of power for good sound-what else would anyone want.

Keep your SoundLink Revolve or Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker charged and ready to go, with the SoundLink Revolve charging dock. It’s a convenient home base for your speaker, and you can play your music while it charges. Just plug the wall charger included with your speaker into the cradle. Available in Black.

Easy Charger
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
As ;you can see, the charging cradle looks like a coaster-a small disc-shaped object, maybe 4inches in diameter, with a sleek, low profile appearance. Hookup to the speaker is easy with the metal prongs and circular form that plugs into the speaker's base. Once the speaker is correctly fitted onto the cradle, a sound is emitted that lets the user know it is correctly connected. Very easy to use.

Great headphones to Listen to Music, etc.
on March 26, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
I found these to be great, wireless headphones that completely blocked out unwanted sound while equally giving great sound quality for my music, etc.. I really like that I can adjust the bass and totally jam out while exercising or just working. I also found out that these headphones don't drain too much of my phone's battery life where I have music stored; that is a great feature. The real reason why these headphones are so good at noise canceling is because of the cushioned earpieces that completely surround the ear instead of just resting on the ears. The ear pieces are very comfortable and do not allow my ears to get too hot or become uncomfortable after hours of wearing them on my head. Overall, a good product that delivers great sound and comfort .

Good Earphones for a Complicated fit
on March 24, 2017
Posted by: KansasMeddlingMom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Usually, I can't ever get earphones like this one to fit in my ear and always falling out, but this one finally fits! At first I bought other expensive earphones to just find that they didn't really fit and made me frustrated and angry that nothing would fit my special ears, but low and behold I tried one more time and to my surprise, they fit my oh so special ears. I was so excited that I could finally wear and workout in earphones like these without worrying they'd fall out or get lost. My special ears are satisfied and so am I.
