Peace of Mind with high definition and secure WiFi
on January 9, 2024
Posted by: Olive
Finding the perfect baby monitor is very important for every new parent. I recommend this unit for the following reasons. The 1080p HD video quality is exceptional. The clarity of the image, even in night vision mode is very clear. You are able to see our baby’s expressions and movements in vivid detail especially at night. The pan and tilt functionality of the camera is a game-changer. It allows me to view the entire room easily. You can remotely adjust the camera angle using the monitor or the app on your phone or tablet. The Wi-Fi connectivity and remote access are what sets this monitor apart. Whether I’m at work or in another room, I can check on my baby using the mobile app. The connection is stable and secure.
The 7-inch monitor is user-friendly with intuitive controls. The touch screen is responsive and makes navigating through menus a breeze. I particularly appreciate the temperature display feature, which helps me ensure the baby’s room is always comfortable for my baby. The battery life is impressive for a devise with high quality video. It lasts through the night without needing a recharge, which is essential for uninterrupted monitoring. The two-way audio is clear, allowing to hear every sound. The monitor also includes lullabies and white noise options, which are great for helping my baby fall asleep.
Overall, this is an excellent investment for parents seeking a high quality, reliable baby monitor. The video quality, pan and tilt camera, and Wi-Fi connectivity provide everything I need to keep an eye on my baby.

Great adjustable Apple Watch band
on December 6, 2023
Posted by: Olive
The box it came in was a no frills Insignia box. Unboxing the band was held in place by clear plastic bands. The bands were so strong I had to cut it in order to release the band.
The band was very nice and made of good quality material. I was given the stone colored band for my 45mm Apple 8 watch. The band fit perfectly fit was very similar to the the band that came with the watch.
The band was very soft and comfortable. Was very easy to adjust the size to fit my wrist. The buckle that holds the band adjustment in place was very flat and it didn’t seem like anything was there because it didn’t add weight to the band.
The band was very soft and comfortable. Was very easy to adjust the size to fit my wrist. The buckle that holds the band adjustment in place was very flat and it didn’t seem like anything was there because it didn’t add weight to the band.
Taking the band off was very easy because the band was elastic. The great thing was that you can take the band off without it stretching and having to readjust when you put it back on.
Color was very nice and neutral. Can be worn with casual or dressy outfits.
Overall, this is a great band. I love that it’s adjustable so you can wear it loose or fitted. The only thing is when washing hands it can get wet and take some time to dry. Or you can take the watch off when washing hands and don’t have to worry about it getting wet. I would recommend buying this band if you like to change your band often. It’s great that it’s adjustable.

Easy set up and great video quality.
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Olive
Out of box - Quality material used to make this webcam. Easy installation to my laptop and adjustment to my monitors. The cable is long enough to allow you to hide cable behind monitor and reach laptop or desktop. Whatever configuration you have the cable is long. What’s great is how it connects to the monitor, it is very portable and not permanently attached. It’s easy to transport to office and home. I have been using this at my office because I dock my work laptop and this allows me to have video meetings so I don’t have to have my laptop open while it’s docked at my desk.
I like how adjustable the camera is with height. It also has a magnetic faceplate to match whatever look you are going for. The charcoal gray face or black face. The indicator lights are very clear so you know if you are connected or not.
Video quality is great, sometimes it can be a too bright in our office or dark but it allows adjustments via MS Teams settings and JLab settings. People at work were impressed with the video quality.
It would be nice if it was wireless because sometimes I forget to disconnect if I needed to undock my laptop and the cord and webcam would get pulled off the monitor. Other than that I really like how easy this webcam was to use, the video quality and construction. I highly recommend if you are looking for a webcam.

Dries and Styles in half the time!
on September 17, 2023
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing - I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box to see how compact the hair dryer was. The dryer is well made and felt expensive. It came with three attachments that were also nicely constructed, it did not feel like cheap plastic. I would also like to add that the inner lid had quick set up instructions which was great so you don’t have to read through the instructions.
The unit came with three attachments one for smoothing, a brush and focused air attachment. The dryer was very light and compact, the buttons were well placed and easy to read. The only thing is if you place your hands close to the bottom of the handle you can change the settings accidentally but you have to have your hands close to the bottom for that to occur. The power cord for the dryer is long, which is great it allows you to length just in case the outlet is further away from the mirror. The only issue I had with the power cord is that it has a box that is pretty big and adds a little weight to the dryer. It’s a good thing the dryer is light to offset the power cord weight.
Hair drying - Refer to the before and after pics of the hair. It took a total of 10 minutes to dry hair which was amazing. It normally takes 20-30 minutes to dry my hair and additional time to style. The focused air attachment was used to dry the hair, followed with the brush attachment to straighten and then I followed up with the glosser. I followed the heat and fan speed settings in the book and it came out great. It gave my hair volume, plus straightened and glossed. The friz was also eliminated. My hair is medium to corse so it takes time to dry and style. This little tool styled my hair in half the time it usually takes.
Overall, the attachments along with the size and reduction in time to dry and style my hair I highly recommend this hair dryer. It’s compact enough to also take on trips to continue your style while on vacation. The instruction booklet that came with the dryer is easy to follow and I love that they provide the recommended fan speed and heat settings for each style you are trying to achieve.

I had the opportunity to try out the Snow Diamond Teeth Whitening Kit for Sensitive teeth. I drink coffee and a lot of red wine and was looking for an alternative to getting them professionally whitened.
Out of the box the instructions were simple. The kit came with a color card with different color levels so you know what color level you start at. I started at a #5 and was hoping to lighten two levels.
Whitening Effectiveness: The kit included a whitening gel for sensitive teeth and an LED mouthpiece that helped accelerate the whitening process. After 30 days of use, I noticed a little lightning not as much as I hoped. I would say a lightning of a 4.5 visible improvement in the shade of my teeth from a 5. It didn’t give a whiter smile.
Ease of Use: It was extremely easy to use. Just use the stick to brush the whitening gel onto teeth and attach LED mouthpiece to phone and start timer for 9 minutes, its that simple. The mouthpiece is comfortable and fits securely in the mouth. Overall, it's a user-friendly system that doesn't require much effort or time. I used it every night before bed, quick and easy.
Sensitivity: The gel was for sensitive teeth so there was no impact to teeth sensitivity throughout the 30 days. However, it was gentle on my teeth and didn't cause any significant sensitivity issues.
Portability: The Snow Diamond Teeth Whitening Kit is compact and easy to transport if you travel. It comes with a travel case, making it convenient to take with you on trips or store it when not in use. The portable design allows you to maintain your whitening routine even while traveling.
Overall, I would recommend the Snow kit because of the ease of use. The kit comes with a travel case and it only takes 9 minutes a day for a brighter smile. The reason for the 3 stars is because there wasn’t a dramatic change in whitening, not sure if it was because of the sensitive gel.

Great mid-level racing wheel set
on May 22, 2023
Posted by: Olive
The Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel used while playing Gran Turismo on my PlayStation 5.
Build Quality and Design: The T128 Racing Wheel is made of hard plastic and well-built with a sturdy construction that feels durable. The wheel has a comfortable grip and is ergonomically designed, allowing for long hours of gameplay without discomfort. The pedal set is also solid and provides a realistic feel. The only thing I would’ve like to see is if the steering wheel had some texture or grip to it. The controls are also plastic feeling, the paddle shifters were placed perfectly and easy to shift.
Compatibility and Setup: Setting up was a breeze. It is designed specifically for the PlayStation 5 and I used the disc version of Gran Turismo. Connecting it to the console was straightforward, and the provided instructions were clear and easy to follow. I set up my wheel on a table and looking to get a frame. The only issue is the cord from wheel to PS5 is short, would loved for it to at least be 15ft long.
Realism and Precision: The T128 Racing Wheel truly elevates the driving experience in Gran Turismo. The force feedback is excellent, providing realistic vibrations and resistance that make you feel every turn, bump, and acceleration. The precision of the wheel and pedals was precise.
Adjustable Settings: One of the standout is its adjustability. You can fine-tune various settings, such as force feedback strength, sensitivity, and pedal response, to suit your preferences. This level of customization enhances the overall immersion and caters to different playing styles.
Compatibility with Other Games: While I primarily used the T128 Racing Wheel for Gran Turismo, it is also compatible with other racing games on the PlayStation 5. This versatility is a big plus for those who enjoy a variety of racing titles.
Overall, the Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel is a great racing wheel at an affordable price. Its build quality, realistic feedback, and adjustable settings combine to create an immersive and authentic racing experience. Whether you're a casual gamer or a dedicated racing enthusiast, this wheel is definitely worth considering for enhancing your gameplay. I gave 4 stars mainly because the wheel could have had a little grip or less plastic feeling.

Good quality and specs for price range.
on May 7, 2023
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing the Acer - Chromebook 314 Laptop 14” Full HD Touch IPS - The laptop looks and feels well made and expensive looking. The unit also came with a nice case to hold power cord and additional small items.
The laptop is touch screen, it was very responsive and no issues experienced with sensitivity. The keyboard was a little loud when typing but not a deal breaker. The touchpad was large and responsive and was adjustable. Speakers were located at the bottom and sound quality was an expected for a laptop in this price range, the resolution not as sharp but was typical for a laptop in this price range as well.
This is an entry level laptop great for a kids first laptop or as a back up laptop just to use to browse the internet, small scale productivity and to watch videos and movies.
All hardware is entry level specs but don’t be fooled, the performance is not compromised. There was not lag or delays when streaming videos. It is a Chromebook and has enough power to handle all the basic computer needs of internet browsing, videos.
One great feature is if you are an android user, you can integrate all your accounts and view on laptop.
Overall, great laptop for the price range and would highly recommend as a first laptop.

Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo and Iced Coffee, Black - EP3241/74
Posted by: Olive
The Philips 3200 Series does it all!!!
I must say that I am extremely impressed with this machine. Unboxing, first impressions it does take up counter space but not a deal breaker. Case is made of the hard plastic but does not feel cheap and the touch screen display also seems sturdy, similar to microwave displays.
The features that I love:
Fully automatic espresso, americano, latte, cappuccino maker at home. I no longer have to wait until at work or purchase from a store to have a great cup of coffee. The cost per cup is significantly cheaper and does not create all the waste from purchasing plastic pods.
Fully automatic espresso, americano, latte, cappuccino maker at home. I no longer have to wait until at work or purchase from a store to have a great cup of coffee. The cost per cup is significantly cheaper and does not create all the waste from purchasing plastic pods.
Built in ceramic grinder for coffee beans, also allows you select the coffee strength when grinding the beans. After grinding up the beans, it also has a hopper to hold the coffee grinds that is large enough so you don’t have to empty after each cup made.
Another great feature is the milk container that you pour the milk into and it froths and automatically dispenses directly to the drink via a spout. The froth is perfect every time.
The Philips 3200 also has temperature control for your perfect temperature brew. Also, this machine has a decent sized water reservoir so you don’t have to constantly fill it (1.8L) after each cup made. I also like that the reservoir is on the side and easy to fill or access.
Tested each type of coffee and it is extremely easy because all you need is to fill the bean hopper, milk container and water reservoir. It takes about 2-3 minutes per cup/coffee type to make and I must say it is consistent every time.
Clean up and maintenance is pretty easy. Clean milk container, the grind catch and base. The water reservoir has a filter so you don’t have to descale often just replace the filter.
Overall, this machine makes great tasting coffee consistently similar to what you would buy at a coffee shop. Also, you save the environment by not buying individual coffee pods made in plastic containers and you don’t have to buy filters because you are grinding beans per cup. This would justify the cost as well as the taste because of fresh beans grounded per cup.
This is a great at home barista coffee maker! I highly recommend.

Not as powerful at full charge but sleek design
on February 12, 2023
Posted by: Olive
I tried this on my husband's beard and was mostly disappointed with th Philips Norelco Shave 5000X. We tried it in both dry and wet conditions and it did not make a difference.
Despite charging the unit for 1 hour to a full charge, the recommended length of time, it felt very weak when powered on compared to similar models. I exclusively used the precision trimming tool; I felt it did not give a close enough shave for shaping up my husbands beard despite having the skin glide protective coating.
My husband has a very thick coarse beard and he also experienced skin irritation which has never happened with my other shavers electric or manual. The design of the Philips Norelco Shave 5000X is very sleek and is comfortable to hold with the ergonomic standing grip. It was very easy to clean but other than that, I was disappointed with this product.
I would most likely use as a backup or travel shaver.
On a positive not, the charging cable fits my husbands old shaver so he was able to charge the old one and continue using.
The rating of two was because of the ergonomic sleek design despite not being powerful at full charge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
