Good choice for a dedicated home barista
on September 24, 2021
Posted by: Olive
from NY
First time using this machine (or anything) like it. Had to read & sometimes re-read quick start guide.
Although very attractive, this unit is somewhat heavy. Weight would not be an issue IF the water tank was not located in the back. Annoying to pull out in order to refill. Started up per guide instructions for 1st time (rinse) use. Loud & (hot) water spraying out onto countertop. No warning that this may occur or that steam arm extremely hot if accidentally touched after use.
Not being familiar with this type of brewer, suggestions regarding amount of coffee beans to be placed into bean container, other than max fill line, would be helpful. In addition, it is time consuming switching out if wanting different fresh ground flavors for one cup of espresso and one cup of coffee.
All attachments and brewing applications fairly easy to follow; However, watching an instructional video makes process less of a science project. It will take various attempts and change of settings to get ideal recipe. This is not a “perfect cup” first time. Must be willing to put in the time & effort. There is a lot of cleaning involved to ensure proper operation. Again, time & effort.
Overall, good choice for a dedicated home barista, not for a quick, simple cup of coffee or espresso.

Very nice dash cam!
on September 13, 2021
Posted by: Olive
from NY
Out of the box - Nicely packaged and great quality! Instructions were very good and easy to follow and set up.
The unit has all the things needed to set up the dash cam in the front and rear using 3M adhesives. Make sure to allow it to stick for 20 minutes prior to installing the dash cam. The adhesive is very strong to make sure you place the bracket in the correct spot or else it will take a lot of strength to remove it. The adhesive sticks and holds even in high temperatures.
While the adhesive was setting, I formatted the SD card and within seconds the card was formatted. After 20 minutes I connected the dash cam and plugged it in and started driving. See uploaded photos for clarity, my windows are tinted and you can still see out them without issues. I could only upload photos not videos but the video footage is as clear as the still photo. Inside and outside the cabin.
The video clarity is amazing and I love that it captures the time, date and speed during recording. The only thing that I am unable to upload is a photo of the three video feeds on the screen. While driving the dash cam display shows the 3 camera footage and when you download the card its separated as F (Front), R (Rear), T. The dash cam also has the option to take photos.
The dash cam has a good number of features to optimize the video feed. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the cables. There are so many cables and if you outlet is in the center console which was my case it has to be set up and in the middle of the gear shifter. The reason why is so that it turns on automatically when you start the car and immediately starts recording so you dont have to worry about turning it on.
I would like to see this unit have a rechargeable battery to get rid of all the cords especially when hooking up the rear cam.
Overall, the Rexing V5 has a lot of great features and the video quality is a excellent for a dash cam. I would recommend as a must buy if you dont mind the cords and looking for an easy to use and set up dash cam.

Portable and easy to set up
on August 15, 2021
Posted by: Olive
from NY
Out of the box - well made and solid. I was impressed with the size and how portability of the drive and not to mention that it is a 1TB SSD.
I have the XBOX version - the set up was easy however when in use there was some lag but I would not say it would be a deal breaker. The price for an external 1TB SSD from WD is reasonable and this drive looks really cool.
Overall, its a cool set up and look for a gaming station. Portable and well made. The speed can be better for an SSD and if you are not concerned with look you can go with something thinner and faster. This is the reason for 4 stars.

Lightweight and Comfortable for all day play
on July 10, 2021
Posted by: Olive
from NY
First impressions out of the box - lightweight headset made of textured plastic with soft edges.
I put the headset on and the padding on the ear covers are soft however its not thick memory foam and i can see this wearing over time. The headset is adjustable but only adjusts to less than an inch in length, so if you have a long face or head may not be comfortable or adjust to fit. The top of the head set there is a strap made of elastic sport mesh that rests on top of my head which adds additional comfort.

Easy set up to start gaming immediately.
Adjustment of mic - flexible mic and easy mute by moving upward.
Comfort - I used the headset with my xbox one and played grand theft auto, forza and halo. The longest time worn was 10hrs straight and they were still comfortable for a wired set. I like it when you dont notice that you have a headset on.
Clarity - extremely clear voice and impressive sound, no delay in sound or voice.
Overall, if you are looking for a comfortable gaming headset with impressive sound and clear voice this is a great headset at a very good price point. Great for kids.

Perfect size for travelers
on June 28, 2021
Posted by: Olive
from NY
This set is a perfect complement to my home set which is longer.
Tweezers are well made and balanced that i dont worry about it falling out of my hands while doing eyebrows. The tips I have to say tweezerman makes the best because they are able to grab and hold the shortest piece of hair as well as grab splinters when you get them.
I use all three tools to maintain eyebrows. The razor is a perfect complement for my peach fuzz. It comes with a small travel case that fits perfectly into any travel case or bag. Overall a must have for travelers and nice to have for home if you like small items.

Good Video Quality and Versatile
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: Olive
from NY
Installation was done by my electrician but he mentioned that it was easy to install since I had floodlights installed in the areas I wanted to install the video cameras. The flood lights have motion detection so that provided additional lighting for the video color night vision as opposed to the other areas not lighted I set it to black and white for night vision. Our new home does not have a lot exterior lighting coming from the street and I thought this would at least provide clear night vision video quality but the video is unclear.
I love the motion detection feature that alerts me when someone is at our property while we haven't moved in yet it allows me to see when our contractor is at the house and at what time. You will need wifi in order to receive notification via phone otherwise everything will be captured on the hard drive.
Another great feature it the alarm sound to deter intruders. I can turn it on while away or from inside the house. The sound is very loud and it will attract the attention of the neighbors.
This unit does not require a subscription and at this price point its a great video surveillance system with a lot of great features and connectivity to mobile aps.

First impressions- light, cool retro look and usual vacuum attachments crevice, small brush roller and duster tools. Now for the good stuff this thing has strong suction and is great for people with pets. I love how it converts from an upright to a small handheld with the press of a lever.
The hand held is very light when cleaning the stairs and the ceiling you dont have to worry about fatigue or the weight on your shoulders or back.
The hepa filter is a must to prevent additional dust flying and keeps everything smelling fresh.
Overall this vacuum is powerful, light and cleans very well on all surface types.
Must buy for all homeowners.

The unit is nice and compact and the cordless feature is great because sink area in my bathroom does not have an outlet. I would have to use an extension cord in order to use by the sink.
The unit did not take too long to fully charge, it was ready to go after a couple of hours. After filling the unit up I turned it on and was surprised with how loud it was for a small size. But like all waterpik models it does the job well. I would say it is not as powerful as a corded flosser but it does a great job with cleaning.
Overall, if you are looking for a flossser that you can take with you during traveling this would be a great choice. The only negative is the
noise, which is why I gave it 3 stars. If its noisy I would

Lightweight Gaming Laptop
on April 6, 2021
Posted by: Olive

Metal cover is nice. Fingerprint reader on the power button is a great feature for quick access. The small profile of this laptop makes it easier for travel, as we use to utilize another gaming laptop and it was too bulky. The ROG features 2 USB C ports and 2 USB ports. The keyboard has a white under glow which is a nice feature and easy on the eyes.
I have ran Starcraft 2 on max settings and it ran very smoothly. All the regular pc functions work very well and quickly. This is a powerful little machine and I would recommend it to gamers and casual users alike.
