Perfect for beard trimming and sculpting
on July 31, 2018
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
I have been trimming my beard the old-fashioned way, with scissors, for a long time. I haven't used an electric razor in many years, and didn't know what to expect. I am happy to report that this razor does an excellent job of trimming my beard.
When activated, the razor pules very solidly which is an indication of it's substantial power. But at no time did it vibrate in a way that made it difficult to handle. It is actually very smooth to handle, and I had no difficulty using it to precisely sculpt my beard.
I especially like the available trim setting of 0.5 (stubble short) to 10 mm. I am using the middle setting of 5 but am looking forward to experimenting with different lengths. The razor guard can be removed and this will allow you a to very closely edge your beard and side burns.
Razor blade quality:
The actual cutting mechanism is the best I have ever experienced in an electric. The blades cut my hair smoothly and cleanly, and the result is polished and even.
The trimmer feels very solid in my hand, and is very easy to handle because of the rubberized finish. I think the finish will also help with shock absorption if dropped on a hard bathroom floor.
Important unpacking step:
There is a small paper tab protecting the blades that must be removed before the first use. It could be easy to miss, and the razor will not work properly if not removed.

Prepare fun food on the grill with this BakerStone pizza oven kit. The porcelain-enameled steel box heats on the rack of most three-burner or larger gas grills, and it displays the temperature range, so you know when it's ready to cook. Make cookies, bread or meats with this BakerStone pizza oven kit, which comes with a pizza peel and turner.

Great for fun times with family and friends!

This Pizza Oven Box is great for backyard pizza parties and fun times with family and friends.
It is VERY well made of quality components and is well suited for its primary task, which is to get very hot to cook homemade pizzas. Home oven do not get hot enough to properly cook a pizza, and this product is able to do so using an innovative design.
On my grill, the oven took about 20 minutes to reach the necessary temperature as indicated by the top-mounted gauge. It then took about 12 minutes to cook a pizza to my tastes. On a side note, remember that you need enough propane to power your grill on full blast for the duration of the burn.
Also, don’t underestimate the bulk and weight of this oven. It is not flimsy (necessarily so) and will take at least one able-bodied adult to handle and move. This can be a factor unless you plan to leave it on your outdoor grill most of the time.
I did not test it this way, but I don’t see why it can’t be used as a general purpose oven to cook chicken, beef, etc. if that suits your needs.
This Pizza Oven Box is an excellent product that is perfect for lovers of homemade pizza that have the time to invest in the required process. My girlfriend and I enjoyed shopping for the ingredients (dough, cheese, sauce, toppings) and preparing them for baking. If that person is you, then this pizza oven is the best way, short of installing a commercial grade pizza oven, to get restaurant quality pizza in your home.

Great for gaming and everyday computing
on June 29, 2018
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
I first tested this Acer gaming monitor with my laptop for playing games and general computing functions.
Since we are talking about a display monitor, picture quality is crucial and this monitor does not disappoint in that area with the overall picture quality being excellent. Like all LED monitors, brightness is a definite strong point. I immediately noticed the high contrast ratio because in my opinion, contrast ratio is the single most important factor of picture quality. The blacks are inky black and whites are milky white. I can't emphasize enough how critical contrast ration is because it causes the picture to pop.
I use a docking station with my laptop which allows me to use this monitor as a second screen. I found this to be very useful. Especially for work and personal computing projects using multiple software programs simultaneously. The two HDMI inputs are especially useful to do this.
The FreeSync function only works with AMD video cards, so I was unable to test that specific function. However, the native refresh rate of this monitor is obviously high because I noticed no flicker. I also did not experience any noticeable lag when gaming or computing.
I also tested it as a Vudu and Netflix playback monitor using my laptop. This monitor performed well that way even though I don't see myself using it that way very often, because I prefer to watch movies and shows from my couch, but it can be used that way if necessary.
The build quality of this monitor is high. The ergonomic friendly viewing angles are highly adjustable, and can even rotate from the standard horizontal orientation to a complete vertical orientation. I do not have a need to use it that way, but it is a nice feature that some people might find useful with certain software applications.
The built-in speakers are adequate, but I would recommend using external speakers. The laws of physics dictate that you can't get big sound from small, thin speakers. I am using a Logitech 2.1 speaker system, and it makes a big difference when playing games and watching movies.
Another notable feature that I want to mention again is that this monitor has 2 HDMI inputs as well as the standard VGA input. I used the HDMI input to connect my PS4, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. I initially thought that the picture would be too small in comparison to my big screen TV, but since I was sitting so close to the monitor I actually found that the scale was comparable and I could see more detail.
If you are in the market for a gaming monitor or PC monitor, you can’t go wrong with this unit.

Perfect for lovers of Lattes and Espresso!
on June 26, 2018
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
This Nespresso machine, and the pods it uses, makes a delicious tasting beverage that is as good as espresso or lattes from a coffee shop. It is very easy to use, and can be customized to make different drink sizes through the use of the programmable buttons.
Its compact size fits well in my kitchen, and the high-end look blends well. Make no mistake, this is a very premium product that will look great in any kitchen,
Now for a drawback. Be aware that the high-pressure pump and milk froth process are on the loud side. So depending on your living situation and time of use, you may wake up people you live with.
So as I indicated in my review summary, this Nespresso machine is perfect for lovers of Lattes and Espresso that want a premium tasting beverage that you would normally only get from a coffee shop. It really does taste that good. The pods are on the expensive side, but at less then a dollar each, they are less expensive that going to a coffee shop, and the cost of the machine and pods will pay for themselves over time.

I am very impressed with the quality and functionality of this bracket. It is a hybrid fixed/tilt/extension mount. It can be easily customized and makes hanging a TV on the wall very straight forward. This mount can extend out an extra 4 inches from the wall which makes all the difference when trying to access the back of the TV. Slim mounts lay flatter to the wall but make plugging or unplugging cables tedious. This bracket sits abut 3 inches from the wall when pushed flat, but it still looks amazing on the wall.

Ultimate Picture Quality!
on December 7, 2016
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
The picture quality of this television has to be seen to be believed! What makes the picture "pop" is the high contrast ratio. This is possible due to full array local dimming that produces deep blacks that approach the near perfect black level of OLED televisions. However, the maximum brightness of this television exceeds the brightness of what an OLED television can reach, so for me this television was a better choice. This television is 4K, but all high definition sources look great due to the picture quality (wide color gamut, contrast, and brightness). This television is also 75 inches as opposed to a maximum 65 inches available with OLED. The extra 10 inches really makes a difference, if you can accommodate it. This television is expensive but is overall one of the best televisions available in the 75 inch class

4 out of 5Great Picture, poor remote Arc audio does not work
By wstcsttechy
Replaced an old SXRD Sony 60" from 8 years ago. Tried the 65" 930 model and that picture was good however not like the 940D. Full array backlighting makes a big difference. First one upon delivery had a line all along the right side of the screen and a horizontal line about 6 inches up from the bottom of the screen. Magnolia came out a few days later with a replacement and this one is much better. Remote control is not user friendly, poor design, Arc audio does not work with my 2 year old Yamaha receiver so must use separate fibre optic cable to allow audio to services. Sony 3D nothing like the Samsung. 4 free movies promotion was difficult to set up and must supply credit card info to get promo and only 8 titles to choose from. I wish they would have included the 3D glasses instead of free movies with a $6500 TV. Overall happy with the purchase and would recommend as a great home theater TV with lots of smart features.

Cable Box breaks ARC
April 24, 2017
Are you using a cable box? Cable and satellite boxes are notorious for breaking ARC. When I disconnected the cable box HDMI cable from the chain, ARC started working. I am going to get a HDMI "CEC less adapter" and connect it to the cable box which should fix the problem.

Given the choice between buying the 930D and the 940D (if price and size is not a issue), which is the better tv? I am confused with hearing about edge lit vs direct full lit, darkness at the corners with white background, 940D no extended range HDR .
The 940D has superior contrast due to the full array local dimming. This allows for deeper blacks than edge dimming. Wider contrast makes the picture "pop" more and creates a better picture quality.

This 64GB Sony SR64UY2A/TQ microSDXC UHS-I memory card features 70MB/sec. data transfer speeds, so you can easily capture and store photos and videos from your compatible camera or mobile device. The card resists water and dust for reliable performance.
Will this Sony mico SD card capture full HD video??
It can record 1080P video smoothly due to the high read/write speed. This is a high quality product. I use it in a dash cam with great results.
