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.

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!

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

Posted by: billr920

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.

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.

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.
