Great for Apple Devices
on November 8, 2020
Posted by: billr920
from Appleton, WI
I have a Ipad 2019, Ipad Air 2020. Charges the Ipad ok, The Ipad air doesn't seem to like it much. I also tried this with my wifes Samsung phone and it charges it, but not a fast charge! So I think as long as you stick with the recommended devices, this will be ok, but don't expect much for devices not listed. Still a great concept and convenient compact size that does not take up much room on a power bar.

East to use standard coffee maker
on October 27, 2020
Posted by: billr920
from Appleton, WI
I wanted to switch from a pod coffee maker to a brew coffee maker. I do notice a more full bodied flavor to the coffee with this machine. Functions such as brew strength and timer options are easy to use.
The charcole filter is a nice touch to help filter out water impurities.
Here is the reason for the 3 stars, however, don't let this deter you from purchasing this machine as it will still produce good coffee.
Clock Display is very dim due to old style LED, would prefer a color LCD or even some type of lighted LCD would be helpful.
My first impression out of box is plastic housing (black parts) have a very cheap appearance. Based on other machines that I have owned.
I did not experience any faster brew time than any other brew machine that I have owned in the past. Things to consider!
Water fill level site is helpfull.
Includes Coffee measuring scoup with suggested amounts.
Compact, Fits nicly on counter.
Entire top opens for easy access to water fill and basket.
Carafe is easy pour no spill.
Coffee temperature is nice and hot, helps with a perfect brew.

Style and functionalty

Toast comes out nice and even once I figured out the correct minutes to cook. Had trouble with english muffins, they got caught and jammed in the toaster, I think the gap at the bottom is a little to wide. This toaster gets very hot so have to be careful. Bagels fit perfect which I think wider items do work well in this toaster.
Love that it counts down so your not guessing!
Looks very stylish and modern next to my other appliances.
Still trying to figure out the cancel button, one time it cancelled immediately, other times took a few presses so I think the key here is getting to know how to set the timer which will definetly vary, especially for room temp or refridgerated or freezer items.
The cord wrap is also a nice feature.

Perfect Fit, Perfect Price
on September 13, 2020
Posted by: billr920

I found it interesting how this mouse kind of pushes your hand forward comfortably so using the mouse buttons and scroll wheel seems effortless. I found the mouse to be very responsive both when scrolling and clicking. This is a very light weight mouse even with the battery.
I have to say I rather prefer a little more weight so to me this feels somewhat on the cheap side. I do own quite a few Logitech mice, Keyboards and such. I just find they have always worked for me so why change. It was no suprise to me that this worked immediatly out of the box. If you are looking for an extra mouse or even a goto, this will meet your needs!

Perfect Fit
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: billr920
from Appleton, WI
Totally Love this Blue Tooth Speaker. The build quality is nothing less than what you would come to expect from Marshall. Built like a small tank, will not easily break. The ruberized black finish housing with front and rear metal grille mesh is very stylish. The Gold/Brass multi-control button is a nice touch. Battery life is 20 hours with a full charge, could literally take this to 10 two hour gatherings. Sound is incredible and well balanced for not having a EQ option. It does favor mids and highs moreso than base. I think that is why it is still clear at high volumes. I do like that I can control the volume from my phone obviously because my phone is the feed to the speaker.
Pros
Easy to pair
Battery bar indicator
Very portable on the go solution
Quick charge will give you 5 hours
Will stay put due to its weight and rugged design
Very good sound quality
Almost 360 surrond sound
Can pair to devices simultaneously
Cons
No app to control EQ
Cannot connect to another speaker
Still Marshall is a trusted brand and takes pride in their products.
You will not be disappointed.

Pro Sound Quality
on July 14, 2020
Posted by: billr920
from Appleton, WI
Has 4 EQ modes and I found the Cardiod mode best for talking, seemed to bring out the best tone in my voice. I found this mic works best with my PC laptop. I did use the headphone out into a PA, but had to have the USB cable connected to the laptop for it to work. I would not use this for professional music recording due to most audio interfaces do not support a USB audio input but I suppose you could possibly go direct to your DAW within windows if desired.
I have not had any drop out issues. Very stylish looking in design and color. Materials used feel quality. Very nice product.
Price is good for what your getting.

Must Have Add to your music gear
on June 23, 2020
Posted by: billr920
from Appleton, WI
Has good volume and clear sound. Reverb adds a nice touch. I used a condenser vocal mic and direct wireless bug for my guitar. Everything works great. Paired up my phone for background music until performance time. Every thing worked as its suppose to. I knew it would because I also own JBL speaker studio monitors for mixing and they have been great also. I did not feel the need to use the app.
The versatility is awesome being that I can use this as a performance monitor, loud speaker or a music player. The Headphone option is nice if you want to do a mix check or just listen to music. Also can connect monitor out of a mix board to the pass through connection for a direct monitor.
Feels very durable. I have used several times now and have yet to charge the battery. Has 2 USB connections. Single channel mode or mix channel mode selections, Mic/Line 1/4" or XLR. Includes Tablet Slot. I'm considering a 2nd one of these as it also has speaker stand hole built in.

Exceeds my expectations
on June 16, 2020
Posted by: billr920
from Appleton, WI
This is my first Panasonic razor! I was previously using a much more expensive razor and decided to get this razor. Here is what I like:
Received my first smooth shave in a long time.
Find it interesting that I do not feel any vibrations on my face, only in the handle making for a smooth razor to skin contact experience.
Handle with thumb stop gives better, more accurate control. The handle is also very comfortable to hold.
Love the battery % indicator that drops as you use the razor to help you determine remaining time left until a recharge is needed.
I recharged the razor at 20 % and did take approx 1 hour to a full charge. I was able to get 3 shaves before I hit 20% but I do have some tough whisker's under my chin and neck area that require more shaving time.
My previous razor has a cleaning charge station that I thought I would miss, but, this razor is very easy to clean and oil treat and does not take hardly any time at all and I will save $$$ by not needing cleaning cartridges which can add up over time.
The trimmer is adequate but I don't use razor trimmers anyway.
What I Don't like:
Not much to tell here and I guess time will tell on the longevity of this razor.
Over All, I would definitely recommend this to any one who is looking for a Great razor at a good value.
