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.

Great price point and sound
on December 26, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing the case didn’t have a expensive feel, at this price point its expected. This is my second pair of Skullcandy earbuds, I like the brand because the sound quality is pretty good for what its being used for, such as working out and anything that requires sweating or working outside.
Like all Bluetooth electronics the pairing was very easy and simple, the buds charged so I was able to try them out immediately. The fit was pretty good out of the box without any adjustments needed to the ear pad. I tested them out for a couple of weeks now for working out and meetings. Voice quality is solid and clear during my meetings. Working out they stayed in the ears without falling out, the music quality was pretty good, clear and vibrant sounding, the bass was nice and balanced even at high volume. The earbuds were easy to clean after a workout and never sounded muffled.
The battery life outlasts my more expensive earbuds which is why I think these are great pair even though they don’t have noise cancelling the snug fit does help keep some of the environmental noise out.
Overall, if you are looking for a great sounding earbud to use for work and play this is a great one at a very reasonable price point.

This is no microwave, toaster oven or broiler…it’s a revolutionary new way to cook. Hugely popular in Asia and available in the US for the first time, the Panasonic HomeCHEF 7-in-1 Compact Oven uniquely uses the power of steam and convection cooking together so you can roast, bake, steam, slow cook, air fry and ferment your way to incredible meals, sides and desserts. With combination cooking, steam insures consistently juicy, tender melt-in-your-mouth insides while convection delivers perfectly brown, crispy outsides. What would normally require 2-3 different processes can now be done in 1…plus, the enclosed space means less nutrients escape than with stovetop cooking. The HomeCHEF 7-in-1 is large enough to fit a whole chicken or a dozen muffins, yet small enough to outperform a traditional oven in both accuracy and speed. The icing on the (deliciously baked) cake? With steam you can sanitize everything from utensils to baby bottles, plus prep the inside cavity for easy wipe-and-go cleanup.

Must have for every kitchen!
on December 3, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing - I like the compact size of this compact oven because it does not take up too much counter space which is not an issue for me, I just don't like clutter on my counters. Set was easy just plug in and read through directions. A majority of the features of this Panasonic HomeCHEF is by now a lot of home users are familiar with, such as convection, air fry, and toast. This was easy to use and set up on this unit. The functions that set this oven from the rest is the Steam-Convection Bake combo, Slow cook, Ferment and Sanitize features. Hands down this is the only thing you will need in your home and if allowed in your dorm room. This unit has a total of 7 Functions, 1 Oven: Versatile oven with an incredible range of options for cooking and prep—Convection Bake, Steam, Steam-Convection Bake combo, Airfry, Slow Cook, Ferment, and Sanitize.
I love the steam-convection and steam options because I love steamed vegetables and they came out perfectly cooked and crispy when I followed the cooking directions in the instructions manual. I cooked asparagus, spinach and mixed frozen veggies and they all came out nice and crisp. This oven is compact and does not fit a 12 inch frozen pizza like my other oven but if you like square pies this cooks it perfectly. Thin crust and crunchy.
The only thing that I had an issue with is the display and buttons. The display is not busy looking but you have to press and select to many buttons in order to get the settings needed to cook. It would be nice to have a little more buttons to you don't have to select one button and then select a mode and then within the mode another mode and then set the temperature.
Overall, hands down this is my favorite compact oven. I don't know why I purchased an oven with my kitchen suite because I rarely use it. This is a must have for every homeowner, the features make you want to cook some of the foods suggested in the manual. One major thing I forgot to mention was that if you have to sterilize baby bottles or containers this over does that as well.

Nice design and function
on November 22, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unpacking and set up was very easy using the app. With all new tech instructions and/or codes are available for set up. Did not take long before I was ready to use.
Design wise it reminds me of speakers because of the mesh style and shape. The style lends itself to its function, the mesh helps with keeping the unit cool and signal strength.
The WIFI in my house was not as strong because I only have the router provided by my cable company. I mentioned to my cable provider and they sent me an extender which helped a little more. it increased by one bar only. When I connected the Q14 my internet strength and speed increased dramatically as well as the reliability. The speed was clocked as high as 950 Mbps and the coverage hits my entire house. Without it it was spotty.
If you have questions or need support, Motorola is the place to call when you need help. When I called I had a set up question and the support was answered by a live person not a robot.
Overall, the design and function of the Q14 is very nice and very easy to set up and use. Very strong signal and functions well.

Nice clear protective cover with a design
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
I have the deep purple iPhone Pro Max and got this case so it wouldn't hide the really cool purple color of the phone. I like this case because it protects all the edges of the phone and only has opening where needed. The on/off ringer switch is open to allow easy access to the actual button instead of having an extension, the charging and speakers are also open for obvious reasons. It would be nice if the charging outlet was covered since you have the mag safe charging option. The cover for the power cord can be opened if you are unable to charge on a mag safe charging station. The volume and power button is completely covered as well.
Installation was typical and it fit snug around the phone. It did not add any additional bulk and I was impressed that it did not add to much thickness either. The camera cutout has millimeters of extra depth to protect the camera lenses when the phone is placed on its back.
With the cover on the phone still feels thing in the hand. The case is Mag Safe compatible so that is a major plus. The one thing that I have to add is the texture was a little too smooth for my taste, it would be nice if it had a little more grip. Overall, its a nice clear cover that does not cover the color of the phone.

Highly responsive and clear screen protector
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Installation was easy as well as the instructions to install. I had no bubbles or dust captured after following the included instructions. The true test is the responsiveness and clarity.
I used the screen protector for a few days to test responsiveness. The screen was very responsive no delays or double tapping needed. Swiping left, right, up, down and typing text messages the keyboard had no issues with response. The screen like it says in the title was glass, the clarity was like I did not have a protector on at all. The screen protector covered the entire screen leaving enough room for the case. With the case the screen was covered end to end which was perfect.
I tried scratching the screen with a key to test its durability and it did not leave any scratches on the screen. I also took a blade and tried scraping it lightly because I did not want to mess my new phone up so it was lightly scraped. No visible scratches seen after using the blade. The colors did not appear to change either with the screen protector.
Overall, I highly recommend this glass screen protector. Its easy to install, very responsive and clear.

Amazing and Impresses Glasses!
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
I must say that these are the coolest gaming/computer blue light blocking lenses on the market. Unpacking the glasses come in a really cool triangular hard case and inside a soft case to store the magnetic polarized (yes I said polarized) sun clip.
Fit was perfect even if you normally use frames with nose pads/nose arms, the frames did not slip down from my face. I wore the glasses all day at work and then came home and played Horizon on PS5 for a few hours. No eye strain or discomfort on the side of my head, which I usually experience around 3pm at work with my regular glasses. When driving home it was sunny, so I added the sun clip and the clarity was impressive due to the polarized lenses. The glasses were comfortable for all day wear and prevented eye strain and not uncomfortable at all. There were times when I forgot that I was wearing a pair of glasses because I had to use my contacts.
After wearing the glasses all day at work and gaming, the true test was my sleep. Towards the end of the day I had no issues with falling a sleep quickly. I could not believe that I was actually feeling relaxed and did not toss or turn. It does say that it increases melatonin levels and it truly did very impressed. I had a good nights sleep (7hrs) and did it again the next few days.
I highly recommend these glasses for work and gaming.

Powerful unit for cleaning up sink mess!
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
I got this for a kitchen remodel, first garbage disposal ever owned and I must say I love having a garbage disposal. The installation was extremely easy with a help of a friend. The instructions were easy to follow. The unit came with everything needed for the installation with the exception of the plumbing. I highly recommend having it professionally installed because of the electrical and plumbing, also if you want to add an air button on the counter top. During installation it is also important to install the dishwasher piping first before positioning the disposal unit and electrical switch under the sink. The Lift and Latch feature made installation so easy to connect.
Operation of the unit is very easy with the air button. If not on/off switch on wall or undersink. After washing the dishes I recommend running the water while it is turned on while grinding the contents it will also flush it through the unit and prevent build up and smell. The unit is a little loud because it is not an insulated unit like the more expensive units however not a deal breaker. The 3/4 HP also grinds chicken bones and veggies within seconds, the initial noise is scary but you know once its ground up the unit is quiet again.
Overall, this is a powerful unit to grind chicken bones, fish bones and orange peels without issues. I recommend running water while grinding to ensure contents is fully flushed and does not leave any chunks in the drain to potentially clog the drain. No issues so far mainly because I run until the unit sound quiet. Every kitchen should have a sink grinder or a very good strainer also so you don't have to discard food contents after washing dishes. Just turn the unit on and your sink is clear of food mess.

The premium vacuum and mop solution like no other. It’s the only 2-in-1 with D.R.I. (Dry Rug Intelligence) means the Roomba Combo™ j7+ uses carpet detection and the Auto Retract Mopping System that lifts itself to the top of the robot, completely away from carpet preventing wet messes entirely. On hard floors, it vacuums and mops at the same time. The 4-Stage Cleaning system combines our Edge-Sweeping Brush, Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes, Power-Lifting Suction and first-of-its-kind mopping with added pressure for a thorough clean. It's all designed to keep your carpet and hard floors cleaner while avoiding obstacles at the same time—so you can live your life.

Automated cleaning at its best.
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unpacking - The J7+ was packaged nicely, the contents were nicely separated so you can easily identify the items needed in the order needed. The instructions were very easy to read and follow. The most important thing to remember is the placement of the charging station because it needs room to move away from the station and position itself before starting mapping or cleaning functions.
Contents: Extra mopping pad, extra HEPA filter, extra edge cleaning brush and a couple of samples of cleaning solution packets.
After the charging station is placed and plugged in it must charge and start up before you can set the robot up via the app.
A key feature of the the J7+ is the mapping feature because it determines the speed and cleanliness of the unit. Mapping of the home takes the most amount of time because the home is mapped twice. The area mapped for the J7+ was approximately 1000sf, after mapping I made a few edits to name the rooms and area as well us added no mop areas. Another nice feature is that you can set the mop to vacuum and mop or just vacuum. The Robot knows the type of surface it is on and adjusts accordingly. When using the mopping feature you have to add the mopping pad and cleaning solution in the reservoir. During mopping I had to fill the reservoir a second time to make sure it cleaned well.
The app is very powerful for the J7+, it provides battery levels, liquid levels and you use it to tell vacuum to go back to station.
Overall, this is a great iRobot vacuum if you have a space that needs vacuuming and cleaning more often. The space I use this vacuum in is the living room, hallway, kitchen and Den with open space. I have pets and this vacuum does a decent job with cleaning and mopping if done often. I'll have it clean automatically at least three times a week to keep the area clean. A cool feature is it also drains/empties the vacuum.
Maintenance is required based on the provided schedule in the user guides. Based on the price of the unit, you will need to purchase additional items in order to maintain and keep functional.
The unit is great and saves times however there are times when it missed some debris but not a game changer. I highly recommend this unit if you want automated cleaning.

Headset for Multiplatforms even work
on September 24, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Packaging was very nice and unpacking and set up was extremely easy. Right out of the box I started charging it so I can check out how long I can play on one charge. It says 40 hours but overall playing time was approximately 38 hours because of volume adjustments, a lot of online team playing (talking) and I also connected it to my phone and also used it at work for Teams meetings.
The headset is great and easy to use. The clamping is noticeable but still comfortable because this headset has adjustable ear cushions and it fits well for people who wear glasses. I really like the adjustment so regardless of head length/width it allows adjustment for comfort. The ear cushions were very comfortable because it was like memory foam.
Sound quality is amazing, when I was playing Warzone the footsteps were so clear it was creepy when playing late nite. The sound was crisp and clear along with voice quality.
Another great feature of this headset is its compatibility across multiple platforms. I have the one for playstation which is compatible with Nintendo switch, playstation and with a flip of a switch it becomes compatible with xbox. This is an awesome feature because if you like to have one headset for all gaming then this is a must buy it will satisfy all gamers needs.
