Keep unwanted hair to a minimum with this Philips grooming tool. The waterproof design lets you use it in the shower, and eight attachments make this trimmer perfect for grooming different sections of the face. This Philips grooming tool has a turbo setting to increase cutting speed, and it charges in just one hour to reduce wait time.

Jack of all trades
on November 15, 2016
Posted by: Grouticus
I have used several different trimmers and shavers over the years and this one encompasses everything you would want in one. Not only does it include all the attachments you would need, the convenience of it being wireless with a rechargeable battery that lasts through several uses, it is also waterproof in the shower which can be a big perk. I will tell you that I accidentally submerged it in water, which I would not recommend, and it still works. The trimmer is relatively compact and lightweight which I believe is why I dropped it in the first place. It is also very quiet. The size of the trimmer is good as it's not too big for the smaller areas and/or curves on your body you are trying to take care of. All the attachments included cover any type of shaving/trimming you can ask for. I'll admit that my wife and I have used them all for anything you can imagine just to try them out and they are very easy to swap out and use. The turbo setting came in handy to prevent any cuts that would have more than likely resulted from a slower speed trimmer. I have been very pleased with this model and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a multigroom trimmer.

Google Pixel XL excels
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: Grouticus
The new Pixel XL smartphone by Google sets the bar in the Android market and excels in most areas with a few exceptions. Not only do the specs and hardware Google used to create their new smartphone speak for itself, the performance is noticeable from the moment you begin to use the device due to the quad-core processor speed combined with the LPDDR4 RAM. The larger 5.5 inch screen ergonomically fit my hand and worked great with the backside fingerprint reader. For those of you hesitant to go big, after using it a few days I have no regrets and will go with the bigger screen in the future as well. The aesthetics and screen are stunning and the 12.3 MP main camera absolutely lives up to the hype with sharp, colorful pictures and 1080P video even in low light. I have gone over 24 hours of moderate usage without having to charge my battery and the battery charges relatively fast when using the provided charger and USB-C cables. Another great function of the phone and it's OS is Google Assistant which I recently used on several occasions while traveling and looking for something to do or somewhere to eat. Some room for improvement are the lack of a SD card slot and that it's not waterproof. Even with those exceptions, I still believe the Pixel XL deserves a 5/5 star rating and have already recommended it to several people in the market for a new phone.

Google set the bar with some exceptions
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: Grouticus
I have been through a few different Android OS smart phones over the years and this Pixel XL phone by Google sets the bar. Not only do the specs speak for themselves, the performance I have witnessed thus far have met my expectations. I upgraded from a smaller 5 inch screen to the larger 5.5 inch screen and am glad I did. For those of you hesitant to go big, after using it a few days I have no regrets and will go with the bigger screen in the future as well. I have been very pleased with the responsiveness of the phone due to the processor speed combined with the DDR memory. The aesthetics and screen are stunning in comparison to the competition on the Android market and the camera absolutely lives up to the hype with sharp, colorful pictures even in low light. The perfectly positioned fingerprint reader on the backside of the phone has really came in handy with no need to enter a password and by the time you use it your phone is up and running. Another great function of the phone and it's OS is Google Assistant which I recently used on several occasions while traveling and looking for something to do or somewhere to eat. Google also backs it's hardware with two years of customer service and Android updates. The only exceptions to my review are the lack of a SD card slot and the fact that it's not waterproof like some of the other newest smart phones on the market. Even with those exceptions, I still believe the Pixel XL deserves a 5/5 star rating and have already recommended it to several people in the market for a new phone that want to stick to or switch to an Android OS.

Finally worked after troubleshooting

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to invest in the Kinect adapter after upgrading to the Xbox One S in order to use the work out programs. It took a few tries before the sensor actually worked correctly and updated by having to unplug and replug in the adapter to reset it. I haven't tried it with my computer yet but I would assume it works the same. I would've rated it higher if I didn't have any initial issues installing it and still experience some issues with the audio when it doesn't recognize any voices giving it demands.

Google set the bar with some exceptions
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: Grouticus
I switched from a Galaxy S6 edge to the Google Pixel XL, my wife has an iPhone 6, and my impressions of the Pixel thus far have been very positive with some exceptions. First off, the phone is aesthetically similar to the iPhone 7 Plus with the exception of no button on the front and a finger print sensor on the back. I found the fingerprint sensor to be actually quite useful except if it's mounted in your car, then you would have to revert to using another log in option. As soon as you use the fingerprint unlock button, which is appropriately on the middle back of the phone for your index finger, the phone is on and unlocked ready to go. The responsiveness of the phone and OS were quite noticeable due to the fast processor and DDR memory. The camera has definitely lived up to the hype and outperforms both my S6 edge and iPhone 6; the shutter speed is very fast and pictures and video are the best I've seen on a phone as noted in the professional reviews. The only downfalls are there is no micro SD card slot, which really doesn't matter to me since Google allows you to use unlimited cloud storage for your photos and video which usually take up most of the memory. If this is a concern, I would suggest opting for the 128gb version. Another downfall is the fact that it is not waterproof like the S7 and iPhone 7 which I would've expected with new technology, so maybe in the next version I suppose. Other than those two exceptions, the phone has lived up to it's expectations all around as extremely responsive, fast, beautifully designed and obviously works great with the latest Android software offered first on the only truly all Google phone on the market. And lastly, I must add, the battery lasts very long even with heavy usage and has not yet exploded... sorry Samsung, I just had to even though I enjoyed your phones until then. I still rated this phone a 5/5 star due to all the features and, to me, it's clearly the Android phone to beat and sets the bar even with the aforementioned exceptions.

Good protection, great look but a little too heavy

Verified Purchase:Yes
For those of you looking for a case that protects your ipad and does not add additional weight, this is not the case for you. It does provide decent protection and is made out of good material but really weighs your device down and is a little stiff to use. Folding it up to view movies is really stiff at first but should wear in over time. It is well made, looks fancy and provides good protection.

Great performance at an affordable price point
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: Grouticus
I have been a little skeptical about upgrading my old Arris modem/router combination with a Wi-Fi extender because I was unsure how much of a difference it would make. We have a one story 2100 sq ft house with the router at one end of the house therefore it would be hit and miss whether we would get reception in the back rooms. After I installed the Linksys AC3200, all of those issues were gone and we now receive continuous reception with little to no interruptions. It took about 10 minutes to set up and create our user name/password which was easier than any other router I have ever owned. This router does more than I could ever ask for and allows me to stream and game with no problems using our tablets, phones, Xbox One and PS4 simultaneously. It doubles the bandwidth compared to my last route which I imagine is where the extended range comes from in non-tech saavy terms. And, maybe it's just me, but it seems that my internet responsiveness is much better than it was before but I've only been using it for a week. In any case, I'm pleased with the results and would recommend the router to anyone in the market for one, it's worth paying the extra money in my opinion.

Yes, from my experience with a new machine and battery, it appears to be able to vacuum for about an hour before having to dock and charge.

Enjoy your music while training with these Under Armour wireless headphones. These audio devices are sweat proof and have TwistLock technology to keep the earpieces in place through any workout. Designed by JBL, these Under Armour wireless headphones meet the highest audio standards and provide up to 8 hours of battery life to last many workouts.
 

Do they have a microphone and can the microphone be worn in either ear

They have a microphone on the power/volume control piece that is part of the wire and hangs closer to the right ear bud side, not in the ear bud itself.
