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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Simplify personal grooming with this Panasonic ARC 5 electric shaver. The ultra-fast motor and five-blade system make short work of facial hair by providing up to 70,000 cross-cuts per minute,. This Panasonic ARC 5 electric shaver has a built-in pop-up trimmer that makes it easy to sculpt mustaches, beards and sideburns.

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.

This Memorex portable CD player features an LCD for simple frequency navigation, and the included stereo earbuds offer crisp and clear sound.

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.

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!

Can you purchase a charge/clean station separately to work with this razor?
I have tried to investigate the possibility but so far have determined where there is normally electrical contacts on the razor handle for the cleaning station, they are capped off with black covers. Also the model number of the razor version that goes with the cleaning station is different.
