This little camera came at just the right time and I’m so pleased with the performance. I had someone storing basically all their possessions in my garage while they looked for permanent housing and, to protect myself as well as their stuff I decided to set this camera up in there. It picks up everything! If I’m arriving home it notifies me that the garage door is opening. It tells me there’s a vehicle detected in the viewing area. It tells me there’s people detected when we get out of the car. Every time I get a notification it automatically records whatever it detects. Five minutes after I’ve left the garage into the house I’ll get a notification that motion was detected because the garage light automatically shuts off. If my car continues to settle and makes slight noises I get a notification and they’re recorded.
Downloading the app and connecting the camera was simple and easy, one of the fastest processes for a new device setup that I’ve done. I was impressed with the ease of the entire process. Seeing the modes for monitoring was simple and toggling between them takes no effort. The camera is hard wired so no need to worry about charging.
The recordings of the audio and video triggered events are clear and precise. I can see how this camera will come in very handy in the future and I’ve already purchased three more for the rest of my home, replacing the other brand I’ve had for years.
Overall I’m very happy with this camera and have absolutely no complaints or negative feedback. I would highly recommend to a friend.

I love this monitor. It replaced my other monitor and it is by far the best monitor i have used. The 1 millisecond response time makes a huge difference in winning and losing. You will need this monitor if you want to be the best of the best. There is absolutely no screen tearing, the smoothest picture money can buy and state of the art graphics. The curved display, if you’ve never used one will take some time getting used to but i promise it’s more than worth it. You will never go back to your flat monitor again. If you are a pc gamer, xbox or ps4/ps5 gamer, this monitor will benefit you in so many more ways than just one. You will become the best if you use this monitor. The colors are so vibrant and bright and you will be able to see everything without having to second guess yourself. If you are in desperate need for a monitor, this would be my first recommendation. It is so good for games like fortnite, valorant and grand theft auto 5. The monitor in my personal opinion is easily an 11/10.

The Technics wireless headphones are phenomenal. They are so lightweight and have amazing sound quality. The headphones have great noise cancellation and it makes for super clear, filtered audio. I have yet to have any audio problems with them. The battery lasts about 2-3 days without needing to be charged and i have made these apart of my everyday life. You can’t get better quality sound from any other product on the market. I have been looking for good, over ear headphones for the gym for months and everthing either has super tacky audio, had a super cheap build or breaks within a week or so. They stay on your head very well and have yet to fall off. I can take them in the carrying case anywhere and feel safe knowing they wont break. The case is super durable and protects the headphones super well. The only thing i’d change is the headphone padding. The leather ones they come stocked with get very hot and will need to be washed every use. Everything about these headphones are perfect and i love them. I would 100% recommend these to anyone in the market for new headphones for anything.

The acer chromebook is by far one of the best laptops I have used. It is perfect for when you want to kick back, relax and put on a show or movie. One of the best features for watching movies or shows is that the laptop can fold in half to give you a tablet. It makes watching shows and movies great since you don't have to have the keyboard in front of you at all times.
This laptop has phenomenal graphics with a very high-quality touch screen. It is perfect for workflow and/or getting school work done. The laptop is so light-weight that It's like you aren't even using it at times.
The acer chromebook has amazing battery life. I charged it once after I took it out of the box and haven't needed to since. The battery lasts so long and it's very convenient.
The chromebook has great audio. It's very high quality and very clear. I found that it is very easy to change the sound level just by using the buttons on the side which most laptops do not have.
I found that the Acer Chromebook is one of the best laptops I have ever used and if anyone is in the market for a new laptop, I say this is a go-to option.

Enter the world of fully automatic espresso machines with the Philips 1200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Milk Frother, Black - EP1220/04. Enjoy the delicious taste and aroma of coffee from fresh beans, at the perfect temperature, thanks to the intelligent brewing system. The Classic Milk Frother allows you to create a silky smooth cappuccino or latte macchiato with ease.
Posted by: MrsDodge222
Overall as a coffee machine this one is decent. There are several features that make it very appealing but when you take it out of the box and actually put it to use there are things left to be desired as well.
Right out of the box the setup frustrated me. The manual is pointless, a bunch of pictures that should guide you but don’t really help at all. There was no clear indication that the water filter was NOT included in the box but there are instructions for how to put it in, so I wasted time searching through everything trying to find the filter. I finally get it set up, complete the water test, set the water hardness and make a drink - not even a little bit tasty! To be expected, there is a warning to brew a few before actually making one to drink. I had some cheap coffee in the pantry so I used that up to make a few cups then I switched to some wonderful beans that my son had roasted. I absolutely love the ability to make the drink straight from the beans instead of having to use grounds and I’d highly recommend using this option - I tried grounds a couple times and ended up with a mess inside the machine and grounds all in my cup.
I can’t seem to get the steam wand to make any froth, all I ever get is just hot oat milk. I’m not a big fan of the foam anyway, and my coffeehouse orders always ask to leave it out but I decided to give it a couple tries and have never been able to make it happen. I do like the way the milk steams though, I get the perfect temp every time. I think my teenage son has used this more than I have because it makes hot water so fast, he’s been making hot cocoa for himself every morning.
I am by no means a coffee connoisseur so this machine does the job. I’ve been able to make my own drinks each morning and skip the trips to the coffeehouse, but I don’t feel that what I’m making at home is the same quality as what I get from there. However, I do like saving the money so that’s plus. I wish the water tank was bigger so we didn’t have to refill it as often and I wish it had come with the water filter. If you’re looking for a fancy espresso machine this is definitely not the one for you, but if you are a regular joe like me just wanting to save on the trips to the coffeehouse this will get the job done. The customizable features are really convenient and much appreciated.

My husband is so impressed with this headset. His biggest complaint with the one he was previously using was that it gave priority to the game sounds and really drowned out his chat sounds at times. He plays with his brother in law so they’re constantly chatting while completing bounties and raids and whatever else it is they play and now he can hear him playing as day no matter how much action is happening in the game. The in game sounds are incredibly magnified now as well. He can hear his own footsteps so he knows when to be sneakier, and he can hear his enemies from farther away so his accuracy has improved with better detection. The detachable mic is great to have as well, he prefers to be able to flip it up to mute so he keeps the optional mic plugged in all the time. The mic does a great job of noise canceling so if I’m in the other room listening to music or watching TV I can keep it as loud as I’ve wanted and whoever is in the chat can’t hear whatever noise I’m making. The headset itself is very comfortable and fits nicely, my husband said it feels like it was designed for his particular head shape. Setup out of the box was fairly simple, we did run into a snag when trying to connect to the PS5 because we had the cord connected to the charge only port but we quickly figured it out and got it swapped around. We finished the pairing process in less than two minutes and my husband was able to start playing soon after.
Both my husband and I highly recommend this headset. It beats all the other ones he’s ever used in the past. Everything he hears is clearer and overall better, and the noise stays isolated in the headset so I don’t have to hear it when I’m sitting next to him. Go get one for yourself!

This is truly the most confusing little piece of machinery I’ve ever tried to operate. And there isn’t even anything that I’m required to do in order for this to function! I’ve had it for weeks and am still trying to figure it out. To start, it’s nicely packaged and easy to get set up. It’s a very bulky item, I was surprised at the weight of it. Because it’s on the larger size it does create a distraction so I had to strategically place it on my windshield. I downloaded the app and was able to connect quickly but it was all downhill from there. The most inconvenient part is that if you want to change any settings of the actual radar detector itself you have to be in the vehicle and connected to the device via Bluetooth. Super irritating! I wanted to be able to look through the settings and take my time figuring out how it operates but I don’t feel that I should need to be in my car to do this. There’s no other option as the only power source is the cord that plugs into the old cigarette lighter, so it’s not as if I could take it inside and connect to it like that. I finally did end up talking about an hour the other day to sit in my car in the driveway and look at all of the settings, which was super overwhelming too because there are so many! But, most of them have a little i icon in the top right corner and if you click that it will give you the info about the setting that you are viewing and each option within that setting. Even after all that though, I’m still beyond confused. So I never changed any factory settings, I left it as it was straight out of the box. We took a road trip from northern Colorado to ABQ, New Mexico and what I can say is that we definitely were alerted to several different law enforcement agents running radar LONG BEFORE they were ever even in our view. The detector would announce “Ka band” and then it would start beeping and soon we’d see an officer come into view. We had more than enough time to decrease our speed if needed. There were many other instances of the detector announcing “K band” and “X band” but so far none of those have resulted in any law enforcement sitings. I’ve had several instances where it beeps and the screen says Stored, which silently blocks false signals that cause the detector to alert.
Overall I feel this is a high quality product and I need to dedicate much more time to figure it out. I believe it’s worth every penny and if you are an avid user of radar detectors and you’re familiar with their operations this one has so many options I can’t imagine it would disappoint. I would recommend to a friend, but with the caveat that you’ll need to invest time and effort to make it work to meet your own specific driving needs.

By far the best sound bar I’ve owned. Even the way the item was packaged was exceptional! It was light in the box, so easy to unpack and the easiest setup ever. It came with an instruction manual with step by step setup instructions, including syncing the subwoofer. However, as soon as I plugged in both the sound bar and subwoofer they automatically connected, so there was no effort required on my part to get started. We haven’t found anything yet where the sound isn’t absolutely phenomenal - TV, movies, sports, video games, streaming music, everything sounds perfect. The different sound modes are awesome to customize the sound based on what we’re watching or listening to. We set the subwoofer behind our couch and when we watch sports it feels like we can hear the crowd noise all around us, definitely the most realistic feeling you can get aside from actually being there. We were watching a game show one night and it felt like we were a part of the audience because we were surrounded by applause and laugh tracks. The design of the sound bar is slim and unobtrusive so you hardly notice it, until the sound starts coming through. Overall a very high quality product that I definitely recommend giving it a shot - you certainly will not be disappointed.

I was pleased with the ease in setting up this device. A bit irritated that I had to download yet another app in order to install but I suppose I’ll tolerate it for now. The initial setup was very simple and we were up and running in about a half hour. We have numerous devices in our home but got them all connected quickly and easily as well. We’ve had no issues with simple things such as our smart deadbolt/doorbell and cameras; they connected right away and continue to operate the same way they always did. However, that’s also the same for our other devices, which was disappointing. My house is full of gamers and neither my husband nor sons have noticed any difference in their game play. There’s always been complaints about lagging, skipping, dragging, etc. I’ve always believed it’s due to our service provider but we decided to try a new mesh router system. My youngest son who is furthest from the router says that he’s noticed quicker connection and finds it much easier to join into online matches. He doesn’t notice the lagging as often as he did before but it’s still often enough that it affects the outcome of some of his matches, and there’s still times where he’ll get disconnected and kicked out of rounds because of poor connection quality. My husband’s gaming setup is right next to our modem and router and he hasn’t noticed any difference. However, one thing that I have seen a difference in is the streaming quality when we are watching TV shoes or movies. We very rarely see interruptions and the picture quality always stays consistent and clear. This was something that we struggled with a lot when we had our previous router so this has been a nice, and welcomed, change. Although I wasn’t happy about having to download yet another app there are parental controls available in there that allow me to restrict internet access for my children which has been helpful when my son does something to have his gaming privileges suspended, or when he stays up late and is keeping me awake - being able to use the app to shut down the connection is convenient and super easy. I would definitely recommend giving this router a shot - we’ve noticed enough positive aspects that we all prefer over our old router and we’ll keep using it moving forward.

I had high hopes for this router and was so let down! It was no better than the one I’d been using before. My son and husband are both avid gamers and they play online with friends for hours a day. When they’re both on I’m usually streaming TV or music and it never fails that someone starts glitching, so I thought why not try this new router that has more bands. First off, it was a PAIN to set up. I hate it when I’m required to download an app just to be able to use something. The directions say that you can name the network with the same name and password as your current network and all devices that are connected will automatically connect to the new network. However, every time I tried to go through the set up it kept telling me that the router was trying to connect to the network so I’d click to allow it and then it started the whole connection process all over again - it kept connecting to my old network. I almost gave up but once I realized that was the issue I denied the request to connect and the set up finished. It took a whole day for all of our devices to eventually migrate over to the new network so my smart deadbolt was offline and we weren’t able to use our front door, we found out the hard way - thank goodness for the keypad outside the garage. Once everything was set up and migrated over we all continued to use our games and TVs and music as usual and saw absolutely zero difference. We’ve tested it for a little over two weeks now and haven’t seen any improvement in the lagging or occasional disconnections that we’ve always dealt with. I was tempted to switch back to my old router since I’m not pleased with this one but with the hassle that I went through to set this one up I’m not even going to bother. It works, we’ve all learned to adapt to the inconveniences and most importantly it didn’t make it any worse so we’ll keep it. I don’t think it recommend it though.
