I am a musician so my ear is a little more critical. So, here is why I chose to get this due to I do have quite the CD collection.
Pros: Good over all volume. EQ selection. Programable. ESP works as expected. I found the best setting for sound is using Pop or Default (No EQ). Both will give the best balanced sound. Option to add a power adaptor if desired. Display is decent readable size. Ability to fast forward through a song to reach a desired part in the song. Finish is a nice flat black non slip. Controls are easy to function. Batteries easy to load
Cons: I Don't like ear buds, prefer regular over the ear head phones which sound great with this player. (Just my preference)
Surround sound EQ is terrible. Rock sound EQ is ALL Bass
No Bluetooth! Would have been nice for a wireless headphone connection option. (would be willing to pay more)
Not sure if this was intentional, but noticed the inside top of unit exposes the circuit board like its unfinished.
You Must use the anti-skip all the time. even a slight movement without will cause skips.
Still a good choice if your looking for a budget player! 4 stars for over all features and design, Could use some updating to meet todays expectations such as adding bluetooth to make it more appealing.

Type more naturally with ERGO K860 – an advanced ergonomic keyboard that promotes a more relaxed typing posture – reducing wrist bending and offering wrist support. A curved keyframe helps reduce wrist strain, while a pillowed wrist rest keeps your forearms elevated to help prevent excessive bending. This Logitech ERGO keyboard features Perfect Stroke keys for quiet performance and responsiveness, and the 2-year battery life offers long-lasting use.

This is a very comfortable keyboard. I used this both sitting at a desk and also had the keyboard rested on my lap and found on my lap the keyboard stayed in place due to its curved design.
There are so many features on this keyboard, too many to mention. I chose to use the wireless adapter over Bluetooth which connected and worked perfect. I think the whole design is great innovation at best.You can't really get much more into a keyboard with all these features as this particular board has.
My only disappointment is that it is not backlit which I can understand would slightly decrease battery life which I'd be willing to compensate for.
This is my go-to keyboard now!

Was a breeze to install with the App. It wanted to connect with my Samsung Smart things but was not successful. I still manually added all my devices. Wireless streaming speeds are good. connectivity is good. Managing the network is good. I can control internet time on separate devices. Speech recognition is good, however, I would rarely use this function. There is a mic switch that you can turn off. So far, coverage is excellent. Very happy with this package. All my devices are playing nicely. I have approximately 12 devices connected with no issues.

The performance to deliver the perfect taste for every blend. The K400 variable speed blender's 3-part blending system easily blends even the toughest ingredients for a consistent texture. The ribbed jar design creates a powerful vortex, pulling ingredients into the unique asymmetric blade that cuts at four distinct angles, ensuring your ingredients are thoroughly blended. The Intelli-Speed® Motor Control then senses contents and maintains the optimal speed to power through all ingredients, from kale to almonds and more. Whether you're creating fruit smoothies or prepping a fresh marinade for a dinner party, control the taste and texture of your blends with the 5-speed variable speed dial, or use the 3 Preset Recipe Programs: Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie.

Well Built Solid Operation

The first thing I noticed is the incredible weight of the machine. Has a very sturdy base and screams I'm ready to handle whatever you through at me and indeed I did. From Ice to Vegies to Smoothies and so on. Loved the pulse option and the preset speeds. Love the quick hold and release setting. The 5 speeds have actual noticeable intensities. I like that the pitcher is made from a sturdy plastic making it a lighter weight which is easier to handle when it is full. Also holds quite a bit of product. Even the power cord is heavy duty compared to other blenders that I own. Also Looks wonderful amongst the other appliances in the kitchen. I look forward to hopefully many years of service from this wonderful KithenAid Product

Very Comfortable and responsive. Has the right amount of weight and feel. What a great feature to have the option of bluetooth or 2.4ghz wireless. Both work well. Mouse buttons are easy touch and quiet. Scrolls very quickly. Easily fits in a laptop sleeve due to its aerodynamic fluid design. Another great product from Logitech.

AVG has been around a long time and continues to provide up-to-date protection. With the Latest in internet and device security and maintenance, especially VPN when on the net.
I initially had a bad install where nothing worked, but, I removed and reinstalled and now working properly, so, if you run into this, just need to reinstall as sometimes individual device configurations can be a hinderance to any software installs.
Password protection is a big plus especially if you do all your banking and bill pay on line.
I utilized the Clean up tools and found my fast PC was even faster.
So Far I do not see and any over use of system resources with AVG.
I really do believe they have fine tuned their software.
This is definitely a ultimate experience and you will not be disappointed.

Take the guesswork out of the equation with this Breville the Smooth Wave microwave. Sensor iQ technology monitors the amount of steam produced during the cooking process and automatically adjusts the power level, preventing overcooked and burned food. This Breville the Smooth Wave microwave features 15 smart presets for one-touch operation, and the soft-close door helps avoid loud slams.

Definitely State of the Art Technology for todays demands. Easy to clean stainless interior/exterior. Easy to close door. Just an overall great product.

I chose to mount this inside facing the front door. Needed to install on a side beam in the house and was able to position the camera side ways so installation position is very flexible. I have a phone with a very good camera, but, found the Defender app struggled to see the bar code on the camera. Then, for some reason, when the app found the camera, could not link it to the network...Hmmm. So, I took the camera and the phone right next to the router, Then was able complete set up. My router is higher end so I know it was not the issue and I know the camera only works with 2.4ghz. Once set up, I was able to place anywhere in the house and the camera reconnected with no issues.
On a very positive note, the camera images and video are extremely HD clear. The Camera view angle is incredibly wide. The power cord is plenty long. I also like the fact that it includes an ethernet connection for direct wire if desired. Yes, WiFi or Ethernet.
The app itself works good. I do like being able to zoom in real time and the SD card will come in handy.. You can also set up motion detection and receive alerts on your phone.
Over All. A very functional camera packed into a budget price.

Upgrade your kitchen with this Mr. Coffee coffee maker. The 12-cup capacity lets you make coffee for a crowd, while the two-step Advanced Water Filtration System ensures quality output. This Mr. Coffee coffee maker features Brew Now and Brew Later options so you can make your drink immediately or program a future brewing cycle.

I have been using pods for awhile now but still no comparison to a freshly brewed pot of coffee. This is a simple coffee maker with some useful features.
The entire lid opens for easy water fill and access to the filter compartment.
The brewing time is not too bad and the temperature is good
The brewer keeps track and displays time elapsed since brewed and will auto shut off after 4 hours.
The funny thing I like the most is the included coffee scoop with the simple measuring indicators on the handle. I followed directions to the letter and made a perfect cup of coffee every time!
Like most newer coffee makers you can program for a delayed or timed later brew.
Also features a cleaning cycle button.
The included charcoal filtration holder plugs in ok, but, appears to be loose, would expect a more solid locked in feel.
Over All, I find this brewer very stylish in the silver color and works great with some easy to use, Great features.
