Great display and impressive gaming laptop
on September 23, 2022
Posted by: Olive
HP OMEN 16 Gaming Laptop works very well for gaming. I previously was on gaming on another set up with similar specs and the difference in graphics is almost not noticeable. I ran several hours of PUBG (Player Unknowns Battlegrounds) on max setting with no issues. The battery with maximum screen brightness was around 5 hours before I had to charge it again. I ran Halo Infinite on max setting and 60 FPS looked great considering it is just a laptop screen. The Bang & Olufsen was amazing and clear and immersed in the action. Majority of the time I used a headset.
As for clock speeds playing FIRE STRIKE, MS Office Apps (Excel, Word, Note), streaming Tokyo Vice refer to attachments for benchmark tests.
A great feature of this gaming laptop is the cooling fans the laptops does remain cool however my only gripe about this rig is that it gets LOUD, but other than that I would recommend this laptop if you looking for a high performance portable set up.
Overall, this is a very well made laptop did not feel like they used any cheap plastic. The keyboard was very comfortable and the keys very responsive. I highly recommend for gamers looking for a portable gaming laptop. The display is very sharp and crisp. Rated 4 stars because of the fan noise and the weight.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice fryer with great features!
on September 19, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Crux 8QT Digital Air Fryer kit that can crip, roast, bake and reheat for 6-8 servings. Fries food reducing up to 75% fat and features Turbocrisp Technology.
Unpacking - this is an 8QT air fryer and it's a pretty big "small appliance" definitely an appliance that you would keep out if you have a lot of counter space just for quick use. The fryer comes with a Non-stick TurboCrisp Tray and Silicone Baking Pan which is flexible for your baking needs.
Fryer has digital color touch screen and programs that are easy to select and start. I cooked the following items and I must say that I am impressed how crispy and non-greasy the food comes out. Cooking and timing is easy with the preset/timing guide. The frozen french fries (18min) had to heat it for another 2 minutes because they were the thick steak fries or reheated french fries came out very light and crispy, same for chicken wings (25min)! I tested the silicone baking pan baking brownies and it took only 25 minutes to bake using the cupcake setting and the edges were crunchy and moist in the middle. I also used it to reheat my baked potato and it came out hot as it would if I microwaved it.
Overall, this is a nice alternative to a toaster oven and I do recommend. The reason for the 4 stars is because it is a great air fryer and great features if you have counter space to spare or storage space.

Goes beyond its SPECS
on September 18, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Right out of the box was ready to go just had to connect to cable. Prior to adding this my wifi was intermittent and signal was not as strong. Out of 5 bars it would fluctuate between 3-4 for strength. As soon as I plugged the Linksys - AX3000 the strength has consistently maintained the full 5 bars. This was very much needed because my house alarm is hard wired as well as wifi and I wasnt confident that if the signal strength decreased my alarm would not detect an open window, door, glass breakage or carbon monoxide because all the sensors are WIFI dependant. Our house is just under 3000sf and we only had one router for the entire house. We knew we had to do something because our cable company came in and tested the system and said everything is working fine and provided an extender as part of our package. That didn't help until we added the AX3000 even though it has a coverage of up to 2000sf this goes beyond that. The speed with internet as well as streaming TV made a huge difference. Sometimes it took a few seconds for the show to unblur and now its almost instant when we pull up the show.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the ease of installation and set up. Linksys provides an instructions for immediate set up as well as additional instructions if you want to set up additional features for security and networking. The unit comes with all the cords needed to get you set up in no time. Another great feature of the AX3000 is the low power consumption. This is extremely important to me now when purchasing electronics because every house at least ours has seen an increase in electricity consumption. My utility bill always compares monthly usage and whenever we add another piece of electronics I see the increase in my electric bill month to month. So I definitely have started to factor in energy consumption when comparing products. Linksys has always been reliable and listens to consumer feedback and they definitely hit it out the park with the AX3000.

Great for pet hair quick clean up
on September 6, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unpacking - everything was nicely organized and on the box there were instructions for quick set up. As soon as I unpacked I plugged in the battery pack and charged it to full capacity. It took almost 3hrs to fully charge.
Assembly - Instructions were very easy to follow. I connected the dusting head first because I wanted to clean the baseboards and do some edging. As soon as the battery pack was fully charged I connected and turned it on first to low speed. It wasn't picking up the dust bunnies so I increased the speed to max speed. I timed it at high speed and the battery lasted for only 11 minutes, which was disappointing. I had to stop and recharge the battery and wait another 3hrs until fully charged. I ended up using my corded vacuum to finish cleaning.
Next day after charging I connected the floor vacuum head to check out how well the vacuum would work on hardwood floors and dog hair. I must admit that I was impressed because I started off at low speed and increased to middle speed. Battery life lasted for 18 minutes which was pretty decent, I was able to vacuum under the table and the kitchen, as well as do some edging. I loved how it picked up the dog hair and the best thing is the LED lighting so you can see the dirt picked up after going over the sections.some areas I had to go over twice at low speed.
Accessories - I do like the wall kit because you were able to attach to the wall and it had places for all the attachments so you don't lose anything. Another cool thing is that you can charge it while connected to the wall so you don't have to remove the battery to charge.
Another feature that I was impressed with is how clean the canister and HEPA filter was after picking up a lot of the dog hair. It wasn't dusty or very dirty, I opened the canister over the garbage and it drop out and I helped remove some of the hair but overall the canister did not smell of the dog hair like my other vacuum after vacuuming.
The weight of the vacuum varied with attachments. I found it to require two hands when using the dusting attachment. It would be great if it was lighter. When using the floor attachment the one great thing is how the head articulates and I was able to vacuum under the beds no issues with reaching.
Overall, the reason why I gave it 3 stars was because the battery life was short and you had to have it on high in order to dust edging. When using the floor attachment the dirt picked up however I had to lift it sometimes to pick up a piece of dog kibble because the head is low to the ground. This is a positive because there were no issues with picking up the dog hair which is why I would recommend this vacuum to dog owners. I would recommend purchasing additional battery packs so there is no down time when cleaning.
I would recommend this cordless stick vacuum for pet owners for quick cleaning on the couch and quick floor clean ups. If you are considering this as your only vacuum then I highly recommend purchasing additional battery packs.

Nice voice over ear headphones
on August 10, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Nicely packaged and came with a nice carrying bag to protect during traveling. Out of the box the headphones were hard plastic feeling.
Set up was very easy just had to learn where the buttons are and functions while I have them on. Bluetooth connected very easily and the voice controls were very helpful. The one thing that I thought was very cool was that when you turn the headphones on it tells you power on and then the battery percentage left. The volume controls were easy to control however its only on the left side as well as all the main controls. Im a lefty so it was easy to control. It would be cool if it had the option to control the volume on either side depending on which hand is your dominant one.
Sound quality - I have been using these mainly during my work Teams meetings. Its very easy to connect and turn on, the mute feature by lifting the mouthpiece is cool as well. I dont have to move my mouse to the mute button. The sound quality for voice is very clear and the noise cancelling mic feature is very helpful when im in our open office space. The sound quality for music is ok.
Quality, the earmuffs are very soft and doesnt hurt so wearing for a long periord of time will not give a head ache. The headpart is covered by a soft mesh.
Overall, if you are looking for an over ear noise cancelling headphones this is a great option for work. It would have been nice if it was noice cancelling overall because i was able to hear everyone. Also would be nice if it was a little more soft feeling rather.

Cute on the shelf or desk, sound was OK
on July 17, 2022
Posted by: Olive
The speaker is really cool looking and nice size for portability. It is definitely nice to have on a shelf or desk or if you are hanging out at the park, beach or camping.
Unboxing was easy, as well as set up. Similar with all bluetooth devices you press and hold the button and wait for your phone or laptops to recognize. As soon as it paired with my phone it immediately said to download the "Marshall" app. As soon as I downloaded it allowed me the options to skip the personal information which is great because its annoying when every single company is trying to track everything we do nowadays. As soon as the app was configured I connected to my apple music list and started playing.
The app has three pre configured equalizer set up - Marshall, Bass boost and Voice. I tried each one at medium volume level. Marshall sounds tinny and hollow, the Bass Boost was OK and the Voice was good for voice only. After medium level, I increased the volume and was not impressed and was disappointed. Marshall is known for their amplifiers and this speaker although its bluetooth and portable does not hit it out of the park.
Overall, I gave it 3 stars only because the design and the material used was very nice and its waterproof which is a great feature for portability. It just missed the mark on sound quality at higher volumes.

Great 1st Hoverboard for 5-6 year olds
on July 17, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing and assembly was easy, as well as the included instructions to follow. Less than 20 minutes to assemble, the amount of time to fully charge took forever especially when you are waiting to try it out. The cool thing was the combo - hoverboard and the go kart attachment allows you the flexibility to sit or stand.
Living in a cul de sac allowed me and my nephews (7 and 11yo) to really test it out. It took 5 minutes to figure out how to use the handles and how to go right and left and backwards. So to go left you had to push down on the right handle and to go right you had to push down on the left handle. To go backwards you had to lift up both handles to go straight back. After figuring out how to maneuver, we tested how fast we can go. It clocked at 5mph max so it is great for young kids learning to use a hoverboard for the first time. The cool thing about this it that it attachment can fit 6-8 inch Hoverboards and some 10 inch which is a cool thing because you use this for the first time rider and then attach to a faster Hoverboard. So the Hoverboard that came with this kit is maxed at 5mph but you can use the attachment on the faster Hoverboards so you dont have to buy another attachment.
The cool part was the number of tricks they were able to do, such as wheelies and 360s they had so much fun because they were lighter. Weight does impact the speed and tricks you can do and because it maxes out at 5mph the 360 are OK unless you start on a hill.
Overall, this is a good purchase as a First Hoverboard for kids 5-6 years old because the speed maxes out at 5mph is will allow them to get use to the handling and provides flexibility for standing or sitting. I think the battery life is ok but not sure if weight plays into how quickly it drained. That is why I gave it 3 stars because as a kid the amount of time to wait for the Hoverboard to fully charge is a lifetime. The kart attachment is key because of the adjustments and 80lb capacity.

Leaves your hair and scalp hydrated.
on June 14, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Out of the box you receive a removable oscillating head, diffuser and concentrator nozzle. Key feature of the Panasonic EH-NA67 is the moisture infusing nanoe technology that keeps hair hydrated down to the scalp. This technology prevents hair and scalp from drying out. It has an attached oscillating head so the heat does not concentrate on one spot and burn your hair or scalp.
I shampoo and dry my hair daily and one of the issues I experience often is dry scalp and hair. This hair dryer does not do that. I have an ionizing hair dryer and key feature of that is that it dries the hair faster but does leave my hair dry and my scalp.
I have long hair and it takes a long time for it to dry. Using the concentrator helps straighten my wavy hair almost looks like I professionally straightened it. I compared the amount of time it takes to straighten my with this hair dryer and my ionic hair dryer. The difference was one minute and the winner was the Nanoe, not only did it dry my hair one minute faster it left my hair and scalp soft and hydrated.
Overall, if you are looking for an easy to use and hydrating hair dryer this is definitely worth a try.

on March 5, 2022
Posted by: Olive
from NJ
The FOREO - IRIS Eye Massager is a quick and easy high end everyday eye facial. Right out of the box it was easy to set up. It was fully charged within an hour and ready to use. I downloaded the FOREO App and connected the device to the app. Very easy to set up and the app is great because it shows you how to use the device and talks you through the treatment. You connect your FOREO via bluetooth and you can also scan the QR code that came with the device.
My kit came with 10 eye treatments, which I used in the morning and night to massage my eyes. The treatment added moisture around my eyes and massaged it during the treatment. It was a quick 30 seconds around each eye and you can repeat as many time as you would like.
Each treatment is quick, if you are on the go but want to do a quick treatment this is a must buy. It takes a total of 60 sec. for each treatment and you can do it two to three times more if you have the time.
I used the treatment twice a day and there was a noticeable difference around my eyes. The skin was brighter and smoother.
Overall, if you are looking for a quick facial treatment that locks in the moisture and massages around the eyes this is a must buy. I am impressed with this small portable eye treatment and massager.

Amazing Quick Facial
on March 5, 2022
Posted by: Olive
from New Jersey
The FOREO UFO is a quick and easy high end everyday facial. Right out of the box it was easy to set up. It was fully charged within an hour and ready to use. I downloaded the FOREO App and connected the device to the app. Very easy to set up and the app is great because it shows you how to use the device and talks you through the treatment. You connect your FOREO via bluetooth and you can also scan the QR code that came with the device.
My kit came with 10 sheet masks, "Make my Day" which I used in the morning to invigorate my skin. After each use it increasingly added moisture to my face and neck and did not make it oily feeling or greasy looking. Each treatment is quick, if you are on the go but want to do a quick treatment this is a must buy. It takes a total of 1min. 30 sec. for each treatment and you can do it two to three times more if you have the time. I love the heating and pulsating feel on my face and the app makes you feel relaxed as you glide the treatment in circular motions on your face.
I used the treatment twice a day and it was a noticeable difference in complexion and texture. They have many type of treatment masks based on skin type what you are looking to do. My mask has hyaluronic acid but just enough to not make your skin dry.
Overall, if you are looking for a quick treatment that utilizes heat and cold to open pores and take in treatment and cold to lock in the moisture this is a must buy. I am impressed with this small, portable facial.
