This is the first express cooker I have ever used. It was super easy to set up and use. The best part is you can cook a lot of similar meals as you would in a slow cooker but at a much faster rate. It is made out of high quality materials. It comes with a recipe book for ideas on things to cook. Overall it offers different options to cook and can easily add variety to your diet. The only small change I wish it had was a larger steam catcher because it is pretty small and fills up fast. I highly recommend this product to anyone who likes to cook at home and would like to try a new way of cooking.

DJI is known for leading the market in stabilizers. With this being the 4th iteration of its mobile gimbal serious i have to say i was a little disappointed. First i will start off with the good thins about this gimbal and say that it might work for some people. It does have great build quality, it is very compact, and the DJI companion app works well in conjunction with it. There are two main reasons that it does not work all that well for me. The first one is how it mounts to your phone. This was supposed to be a great new feature that allows you to easily magnetically connect your phone to the gimbal. The problem for me is that the phone holder mount falls off and does not correctly hold my phone with a case on it. I tried it both on an iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone SE (2nd Gen) If i remove my case this is not a problem but then my phone is no longer protected. I should mention that my case is just a normal slim phone case. Even when used on a smaller phone with a case it also did not work. A secondary mount is included which can connect to a phone or case with an adhesive but the problem with that is then you are no longer able to wireless charge your phone with it on the back. The second downfall to this product is the active track. This could just be a problem i am having since i have seen other reviews of it working perfectly fine. But in my testing the active track had trouble keeping up with the subject, It did work sometimes but not all of the time. As i previously mentioned this stabilizer might work for some people if you do not use a case on your phone or plan on wireless charging but in my case this is a serious downfall.

This headset is not the worst but definitely not the best. Some of the good things about it are that it comes with an included carrying case, the microphone is built in and easily stores inside of the headset, it can be used with any system, and Battery life is great. However, there are some downfalls to this headset in my opinion. One thing is that a wired connection is required when playing on any console such as Xbox or PlayStation. When using the headset for chatting in a game the audio seemed to cut in and out at times. The overall build quality feels cheap and they are not the most comfortable headset for wearing any long period of time. If you are on a budget and need a decent headset then I would recommend this headset. If you just spend a little more money you can possibly get an overall higher quality headset.

Logitech makes great Accessories
on July 16, 2020
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Logitech is one of the leaders in making accessories for devices. This mouse is no exception. After using it for some time now it lives up to the high quality Logitech is known for. This mouse is optimized for Mac and iPad which makes it even better for those user. It is finished in space Grey color fo match the Mac and it also has a button where the thumb rests that allows for you to pull up the multi task function. One of my favorite features of this mouse is that it can easily be used with multiple devices. It can be connected to three Bluetooth devices and has a button to simply switch between devices. I have never found another mouse that makes it so simple to use with multiple devices. With the included software you can also use it to share files between devices. There are extra buttons that you can customize with the included software. The best part is that it is a larger sized mouse but feels great in the hand. It has a built in battery that last a long time and can be charged via USB-C. The only downside I have found is that it does not come with a USB connection option but it really isn’t necessary. Overall this is a high quality mouse and I would recommend for anyone using a Mac or someone that has multiple computers/iPad.

Must have Wireless Charger
on July 12, 2020
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Wireless charging pads make it much easier to charge compatible devices. One thing that is a problem with some charging pads is that they take forever to charge your device. One of my favorite things about this Belkin charging pad is that it offers faster wireless charging. It is great for charging iPhones and Airpods with wireless charging. There is not much else to say about this charger as it works well and is simplistic.

Kitchen Aid makes high quality products. One of there most popular is there mixers. The classic mixer is great. It is easy to use for people just starting out making homemade foods. It is able to mix a lot faster than hand mixing or using a hand held mixer. This is great for baking large amounts of anything. It is also pretty quiet when mixing. This mixer comes with a couple different attachments depending what you’re mixing. One of the best parts of this mixer is that there are many attachments that you can purchase. This is a great purchase for anyone who loves to make homemade products. One thing that should be included is the shield which keeps everything in the bowl but you can purchase this separately.

Awesome Retro themed mini fridge
on June 17, 2020
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
This is by far one of the coolest looking mini fridges in my opinion. The retro look makes it a great touch for use in a garage or maybe dorm room. It is decently sized on the inside but still maintains a small for factor on the outside. It does have a small freezer on the inside which can hold a couple things. The only downside that I found is that the handles is made completely out of plastic and it’s durability overtime is unknown at this point. Overall this is a great little fridge and if you’re in need of a mini fridge I’d definitely recommend checking this one out.

I have never had a full security camera system before but I am glad to have gotten this one. Starting off with install. This is not the easiest thing to do because you must run network cables from the NVR out to the cameras. The easiest way is to either run the cables through the crawl space or attic of a house. I would only recommend this system if you have a business or house. Installing on anything else could be tricky. Other than running the cables the setup is as easy as plugging them in. One thing that i like about this system is that the initial setup is extremely easy and straight forward. It walks you through naming the cameras and everything else that is necessary. Adding the app to your phone and setting it up was also very simple. The 4K quality of these cameras is amazing. I like that it can display in 4K on your TV as long as you have a 4K TV. The image is super sharp. These cameras also have two way audio, lights, and night vision. The system comes with 4 cameras but you can add up to an additional 4 which is a bonus. One of my favorite things is that the it comes with a 2TB HHD which stores video footage locally but you are still able to access it via the network. Since this is the case you do not have to pay any monthly fees or rely on cloud storage. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who owns a home or business and would like to add some protection/sense of security. This option with the NVR is especially nice for people who need to monitor there home while they are away via the APP.

There are some pros and some cons to this case. Logitech makes great products some of my favorite are their keyboard and mouses. That being said, one of the biggest pros to this case is the keyboard. It offer great key travel and feedback. It is a traditional keyboard most people are used to and makes it great for someone wanting a laptop experience out of their iPad. The case is pretty slim overall considering it packs a full size keyboard but it is not as slim as some other cases on the market. The keyboard uses Bluetooth and connects seamlessly. Some other great features are that it has sleep wake function and it shuts off the keyboard if you flip the case around. Battery life is great and i have not had to charge it yet. One of my person favorites is that it charges off of USB-C (although one is not included) but the same charge used to charge the iPad will charge it. All of this being said their are a few disadvantages to this case. The first thing that i do not like is that it does not cover the sides completely. Although the case still does offer protection if dropped it could potentially be scratched. I also do not like the choice of material used on the outside of the case because it is easily scratched and finger print magnet. The last thing i wish was included was track pad however it is not a huge deal because you can easily connect a Bluetooth mouse. Even with the few cons of this case it is still one of the best cases you can buy for the iPad pro. I would mainly recommend anyone who needs to productivity of a keyboard like college students or business professionals.

I have had many different Sony sound bars and i have always been a fan. This Sound bar is no exception to the high quality products that Sony makes. Setting up this sound bar is easy as plugging it in and turning it one. One of my favorite things about this sound bar is that it turns on and off seamlessly with the TV. You can also change the volume using the TV remote. I believe this is achieved by using the ARC function on the TV and may not be compatible with all TVs but i am unsure. Sony does a great job of creating surround sound with only one sound bar and bass. This sound bar can get extremely loud without sacrificing any sound quality. This is a 3.1 channel speaker so it has left, right, and center speakers for even better all around sound. I would highly recommend this sound bar to anyone looking to get high quality audio out of their television.

This only has 1 hdmi input? So I can’t hook up my Apple TV n my PlayStation thru the sound bar? Or does it just pay to go with HTZ9F
As long as the Sound Bar is plugged into the ARC HDMI on your TV you can plug all your devices into your TV and they will still use the sound bar. I have PS4, XBOX, Apple TV, and Nintendo all plugged into TV and my sound bar plugged into the HDMI that say ARC and all devices play through sound bar. Hope this helps
