Wet/Dry Shaver

As someone who has tried electric razors in the past but keeps going back to the manual blade razors I wanted to give this a fair try. I have never had an electric razor that I could use in the shower so this was an intriguing feature. Now in all fairness, the instructions with the razor say to use it for 30 days as it will take some time for your skin to get use to the new shaving device. I'm a week in but can say I am already starting to see a difference. I am very picky about my shave and prefer a close clean shave and as I continue to use this razor it seems to be getting closer to where I like my shave. So far no complaints with this device.

Neat device

As someone who has setup a smart home with Z-wave I was excited to check out some of the other options for home automation. First off this is a cool looking switch! It would compliment any modern decor but would look out of place (IMHO) in a country or possibly a traditional setting. Installation is quite simple if you are handy with replacing a light switch. Unlike most traditional light switches you must use the line, load, neutral and ground wires so make sure your wiring is already in place. This is a WiFi switch so you will connect it to your network. Setup is easy though, download the app to your mobile device and follow the instructions. Total setup time was less that 3 minutes and I was able to operate the switch from my phone. Very cool app to control the switch including a sleep timer that will dim the light until it goes off or manual control of dimming. Apparently you can even control the lights when you are away from home but the application errored during that part of the setup so I can't comment on that function. As I mentioned, this runs off WiFi and on occasion it takes a few moments to connect or even not connecting at all. Overall it is not a bad product but if you are going to go full speed ahead with WeMo make sure you have a really good WiFi router that will cover the locations in your home.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is an upcoming action role-playing third-person shooter video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Although it shares the universe of the original trilogy, the title is considered a game derived, not the fourth episode of the saga.

I purchased this as I like games like this but not necessarily that is as close to reality as call of duty. It has several different modes from being mostly interested in the story line to make it as difficult as possible. I stay right in the middle and it offers a great challenge.

Pairing this with the Revolve+ is a great way to appreciate the Bluetooth speaker even more. Keep the base plugged in and just set the speaker on top. You can also use the speaker while it's in the doc or just grab the speaker and go. If you get the speaker definitely get the cradle!

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. SoundLink Revolve+, the best-performing portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose, delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 16 hours.

When you look at this initially it reminds me of a kettle ball. Upon firing it up the first time it asked what language I wanted. It is fluent in over a dozen languages. It then offered to pair with my iPhone and pairing was painless. Started up a streaming music service and I was immediately blown away not only by the volume but the depth of sound. I was not expecting it to have such a rich sound. When it connects it also gives you a status on your iPhone of the battery's charge. Download the app and you can see the percentage and control volume and music selection. You can also adjust the volume from the speaker in addition to pause and fast forward. It will also act as a speakerphone pausing the current song and allowing you to answer or ignore an incoming call. It worked for a call I took but I didn't ask about quality but no one on the other end complained. The product is well constructed and is not heavy compared to some I have handled. Probably the most important part of this is how well it holds a charge. So to put it through it charge paces, I started playing it at 9:15 in the morning while I was working in the garage. At 4:15 that afternoon I called it quits and it still had 85% charge! It outlasted me and my iPhone. As for charging, it has a power cord that plugs directly in or you can use the cradle and just pick it up and go.

A little dissappointed

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this with the new PS4 Pro so my controllers will always be ready to go. It does the job and keeps my controllers powered up but a couple things I'm not a fan of. First, it can be a bit tricky getting it plugged into the charger. You need to be sure to go straight at the charger plug-in. The LED lights up when you first plug in the controller but will then go out. It would be nice for the LED to be red or green to let me know if it is charging or fully charged and ready for use. If you are looking for a no frills charger then this is the unit for you.

Okay, not being a hard core gamer it probably doesn't take much to impress me. I remember playing the original Madden on the PS (1). Graphics are impressive and the play is realistic. Still figuring out all the buttons but have fun playing. I try to by the preowned older version to see if I like the game then maybe opt for the latest version if I like it.

Well worth the investment!
April 15, 2011
I recently upgraded my desktop for my business to a 6 core AMD Phenom II processor and figured my 4 GB of memory would be enough. Although performance is amazing it just didn't seem to be where I thought it should be so I swapped out the four 1GB sticks for four 2GB sticks. Of all that's holy this things screams now! I have yet to come close to maxing out memory or CPU utilization even while burning a DVD, streaming video from the net and working on a presentation; 8% for CPU and 19% for memory.

5 out of 5Ditch the cable company's modem
By LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
After finally getting frustrated with the modem provided by the cable company I decided to get my own. Of course they asked why since I wasn't paying to lease the one I had. Well their own speed tests confirmed I had throughput of about 9Mbps on a good day when I'm paying for 20Mbps service. I swapped out the old modem with the Motorola, called them with the MAC ID and was up and running in a matter of minutes. Of course the first thing was to perform a speed test, the same one that I used before the swap. 20.6Mbps! Not only is my internet connection substantially faster but the built in WiFi has a better reach than my previous router AND the home network runs faster since I've eliminated a piece of equipment; stand alone router. My home network is used quite extensively too; 3 cell phones, 2 ipads, two laptops, 1 desktop, 2 home servers, 2 gaming consoles, 4 Blu-ray players, 1 stereo and a security system. This router/modem hasn't missed a beat yet!

9 month update
February 10, 2014
In all fairness I feel it is necessary to post an update to my previous post. First, 90 days after I installed it the WiFi would drop and not reconnect until i rebooted the modem. This normally would be that big of a deal except my home automation and alarm system run off the WiFi connection. When WiFi is lost for an extended period the security system will alert me with a continuous beeping until I deactivate it; even at 3 in the morning! Took it back and exchanged it for another thinking I may have just gotten a bad apple. Unfortunately that was not the case. Four months later the newer one started doing the same thing. There were times even rebooting would not solve the problem. As nice as it would have been to have one device that did the job of three, this was not it! Even the wired connections were beginning to run slow. I had upgraded my Time Warner to the 100Mbp package and was getting about 25 in most cases. Back to the store (yes I got the extended warranty) and I decided to go back to two devices. I went with the SB6141 which is basically the same device without wireless and routing. Plugged my Dlink DIR-655 wireless router into the 6141 and haven't looked back. The concept of an all in one device is great but the execution was well below expectation. One other thing, the interface used to configure the modem is basic at best. Most features are either on or off and some you just can't configure. Overall I would not recommend this product after using it for just under a year.

Will dvr change from each camera view continuously? Also is a 4k monitor required?, Are all 8 cables included?
You can configure the DVR to record on motion only by camera, or continuously record all cameras. It can even be setup to only record at certain times of the day. As for viewing, you can look at one camera at a time or all cameras at once. You can even create a tour that will rotate through specific cameras. A 4K monitor is not required but just like any screen it will affect the detail you see. everything was included to connect all the cameras the system came with. Hope that helps.

Stand out on HD video calls backed by Studio Mics. Capture ideas on the vibrant PixelSense touchscreen. Surround yourself with immersive, theater-like Dolby Atmos audio⁶. Do it all with a perfect balance of sleek, ultra-thin design, and more speed, now up to 70% faster – with significantly longer battery life than before¹. Two sizes. Two keyboard finishes. Plus, choice of 11th Gen Intel Core or exclusive AMD Ryzen Microsoft Surface Edition processors².
Is it possible to replace the hard drive with a different SSD?
Anything is possible but the reality is, is it worth it? IF it is similar to previous Surface laptops there are four torx screws under the rubber feet that once removed will allow the keyboard to be removed and provide access to the HD. For the record, I have not done this on a Surface Laptop 4, nor do I recommend it as it would void your warranty, but have seen it done on previous models so there is no guarantee the design is the same. Hope that helps.
