I Love This Tablet
on March 12, 2017
Posted by: Olive
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this tablet for Christmas and love using it. I got the one with cellular so I can take this anywhere. The thing I love about the apple products is that you can have everything in the cloud and access everything anywhere. So far no issues, it is a very solid product and if you are looking for a tablet I would get this model with the pen.

Great gift for wine connoisseur!
on February 26, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for a gift and when my sister in law tried it out she loved it. I opened it for her and after initial charge we opened about 10 bottles of wine and it still had a lot of charge left. At the end of the night we used the vacuum to close 2 unfinished bottles and it kept the wine fresh for two weeks when we finished the bottles. This is a must buy item if you drink a lot of wine. I will purchase one for myself.

Nice Blender with Dual purpose
on January 23, 2017
Posted by: Olive
I received this as a gift and was surprised by the 1200 watts of power. My smoothies now take half the amount of time and the convenience of setting the program and walking away is great. I only have to make my smoothies, once a day because I use two of the 32 oz cups. With the Duo, I press the button and walk away and clean-up is a breeze for when I make smoothies because I just remove the blade and screw on the lid attachment and go. The pulse program really makes the difference, because first the blades run, then pauses, which allows food to fall back down, then runs, pauses and repeats. This makes it so you don't have to manually push food down into the blades. An advantage I liked about the Duo is the lifetime warranty. They will pay for shipping both ways for as long as I own the blender. To me, having no experience w/Ninja products and not knowing how long they last, made me feel more comfortable. The Duo is amazing, I wouldn't hesitate purchasing it if you plan to use it for making smoothies and other things that you need a blender for.

Great whole house wifi system
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: Olive
I received my 3 node Velop yesterday and was able to set it up in 15 minutes. Took longer trying to figure out where to place the nodes. Set was extremely easy, plug it into your router, download the app, name your network, set up the password and that is all! The units are solid and really cool looking. I do not have a huge house but I do have a lot of walls that block the signals. That is why I wanted this unit so I didn’t have to buy extenders that have to be set up individually. Once you set up the first node all you have to do is plug in the other nodes and the system does the rest. I set up all 3 nodes one by the router, kitchen and upstairs. I wanted to test signal strength so I went to the end of my backyard and the signal was still strong (picture of backyard during the summer). I thought this was great because I love being outside with the computer and watch TV during the summer months. I had no signal before getting the 3 velop pack. If you have a big house or big backyard and looking to get wifi outside this is a great system to have. Also I am thinking of buying Amazon echo because this system understands some of the commands. Overall this is a great system if you want an easy to set up, cool looking whole house wifi system. A must buy!

Awesome Machine
on December 23, 2016
Posted by: Olive
Having owned the regular ninja blender, and now the Nutri Ninja Duo, I can confirm that the Ninja makes powerful machines. The Ninja's blades extend 40% of the way into the cup, and makes short work of any ingredient you put in. Keep in mind though that means you need to put apples and such in the bottom of the blender cup, and the softer ingredients on top, so the blade can fit. And for cleaning the blender all you have to do is add water and a drop of dish soap and shake it or blend it and it gets completely clean.
The food processor works like any other food processor. The powerful motors tears apart stubborn fruits and veggies. You can also buy an optional coffee and herb grinder for $16.95, which I am seriously considering. This thing is a beast when it comes to making smoothies, it really does blend everything down.
One draw back to the system is the noise. This a very LOUD blender.
If you are in the market for a multi function blender, the Nutri Ninja DUO won't disappoint. The enhanced power and breadth of included accessories makes it a great addition to the kitchen.
Overall this is a great buy for the price for the things this machine does. If you want to start eating healthier, I'd recommend this appliance to totally change the way you eat. You'd be surprised at how much of a difference a change in diet can make to the way you feel and your overall health. I own a few kitchen appliances and I have to admit this has quickly become one of my favorites.

Great software for non-pros
on November 14, 2016
Posted by: Olive
I started using Photoshop elements 3 and now after many years I had the opportunity to upgrade to Photoshop Elements/Premier Elements. This app is amazing! I finally have time to enjoy photography because of my new DSLR paired with this program and I am having a lot of fun with the powerful easy to use tools. I like this program because it is consumer friendly and now has built in tutorials for image manipulations. If you are looking for a powerful photo editing software but are not a professional photographer, then this program is for you. It also includes video editing software that is awesome. I am having fun with editing my phone videos. What is also cool is the organizing software for photos and videos. The only downside is how much space it takes up in your hard drive, almost 6GB. This program also has touch screen support which would be cool if my mac had touchscreen. I will also use this on my iPad Air Pro to use the touchscreen features. Overall this is a must have program for your photo and video editing needs!!

Would wait for 2nd or 3rd generation PIXEL
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: Olive
Out of the box the phone is very nice and feels great in the hands. The phone is solid and feels expensive. I would have loved to see how the PIXEL XL differs but got the PIXEL.
After 2 days of using the phone I think it is OK. If Google is trying to compete they should have done a better job. First off I have the Pixel 32gb and the adroid software takes up about 5.39gb, luckily we get unlimited storage for photos and videos. Second, Android is great because you can customize it a lot. The phone comes preloaded with wallpaper, ringtones, etc...which are ok. Google did not think about sound when they made the phone because the ring volume, speaker volume and phone volume is very low. When making calls I had trouble hearing the person on the other end. The volume is so low that I am afraid of using it for an alarm because I do not think I will hear it in the morning.
Third, I think they could have done a better job on the keyboard, the keyboard is a little boring. The display is not as sharp as I thought it would be but the camera does take great night photos.
What I do like about the phone is how it feels in the hand, the camera and google assistant. It is the first generation that is why I gave it 3 stars. If they work on the speakers and sound this would be a phone to consider. It is fast and responsive, I had a lot of apps running and was not slowing down or freezing up. I am familiar with the Android OS so it was pretty easy to navigate and set up.
Overall, I would get the 3rd or 4th generation version of this phone. I would recommend this phone only if you are a diehard android user!

Great Pet Vacuum
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: Olive
I have 4 dogs and 1 cat (2 pugs and 2 hound mixes and a Himalayan cat) and they all shed. We have hardwood floors and area rugs that the dogs love sleeping on leaving lots of hair and there are certain times of the year when they shed so bad that I have to vacuum almost 3 times a day. Because of all this shedding I always have 2 vacuums on hand, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I have hardwood floors and only area rugs so I initially bought a small hoover vacuum which worked well sucking up hair balls and removing the hair on the furniture. Because I vacuumed a lot I one of the vacuums stopped working so I purchased the dyson pet vacuum because it was on sale.
I heard good things about the dyson so I could not wait to use it. After the first few times I did not like it so I started to look at other pet vacuums. I came across the Bissell pet hair eraser through a friend and she swore by it so I tried it out at her house before getting it. For an upright vacuum compared to the dyson I own, the Bissell is lighter. The quick release wand and pet attachments make this a pet owners dream. I love the pet turbo eraser tool for the furniture and the crevice tool for the stairs and corners. This is a must have vacuum for all pet owners because it is quiet so it does not scare the pets and I would say that it removes a lot of the hair during the first pass. The only negative is I wish the vacuum adjusts automatically when using on different rug piles. You have to manually adjust the vacuum according to carpet height. I gave this only 4 stars because of the weight compared to my small hover but it is lighter than my Dyson. Overall I love this vacuum.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

A must have for all the compatible ipads. If you like sketching or are an artist, musician or kid, this is a necessity. Throw away the paper sketch pad and eraser because this pencil with the ipad + a good app is all you need!

Great but bulky
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: Olive
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this to protect my ipad pro 13 inch. I like that it protects it well but for the price they could make it less bulky and the built in screen protector could be closer to the screen so you do not have the gap between the case and screen. It is annoying when you are tapping the screen and you feel the space between. I do like the stand that is comes with and it does protect the ipad. I am giving it 3 stars because it is bulky and the built in screen protector needs improvement.
