Perfect footprint and works great
on October 17, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
For a kitchen gadget/appliance to be on the counter in my house it has to meet a few criteria. I know its shallow but first and foremost, it must look good on the counter. Second, it has to be easy to use. third, has to have easy clean up. And finally, it must work well. This Bella Pro Series Air Fryer hits it out of the park on all of the above. It looks great in my kitchen that has stainless and black large appliances (oven, microwave,refrigerator, etc.). Super easy to use! Simple clean up. Works great. What I particularly like about this unit is the footprint. It's not oversized so it fits well on the small counter in my small kitchen. I have a much larger air fryer that gets hardly any use mostly because its stored in the cabinet in the garage. This little beauty sits on the kitchen countertop and is always ready for use. Tip: Press the menu button multiple times to go from "Air Fry" to say "French Fries". I keep trying to push the French Fries button! Also, frozen hash browns come out just as nice as the frozen french fries!

A network that is super easy to connect
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Wasn't really sure what to think at first. I opened the box and their were three identical units, three power cords and one network cable. There was a small piece of literature that was too small to read and more legal info, not directions. I downloaded the app by searching on eero. The app walked you through set up. It was surprisingly easy. the most difficult part was getting under the bookcase to plug in the first unit! I did search a bit on line as I didn't know if it should plug into my existing modem or router. It did say to plug into the modem. Mine (provided by the cable company) doesn't have any additional ports so I plugged it into the router. It works! I set the second one up in the far backroom and the third one in a separate hobby shed outside the house. All three connected easily. The app walks you through what to do, including creating the network name and login. Then I did a bit of testing to see if this network is faster. And yes, it is somewhat faster than the connection with the equipment from the cable company. Webpages download a bit faster and multiple devices attached don't seem to slow it down. One thing I really like is the ability to connect via a cable devices to the units. My wifi printer never seems to be online. Now I can just attach it to this little eero. I think I'll dig up that Alexa device and connect it too. The app makes it easy to monitor the network and even turn off for periods of time, like while your sleeping.

Easy to Install and Use - Love Identity Protection
on August 24, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
So easy, just download, create an account and it's up and running. The very first thing it did was do a historical dark web review for my information. Wow what a surprise that my username and password was out for four different accounts. Two I haven't used in years. It was important to know because like most of us, I use the same login and password often, especially for non financial items. However one of the items from historical review is a location where I shop online. Clearly this password is being changed immediately. Another brand of security software came with my fairly new computer and I was wondering what would happen when I installed the device security. Answer - Norton prompts you to remove the other software and recommends that you do so for peek performance. Additionally when installing on your device it says it will use 276 MB. The menu is easy to understand and navigate. Additional items like the utility to prevent tacking of your online activity can be added for an additional cost. The freeze function under the identity theft area is great because you setup a freeze with each of the three main credit reporting bureaus. It won't prevent someone using your identity but it will make it much more difficult for them. Also, you can add up to 10 bank accounts and 10 credit cards to have Norton monitor the dark web for any activity. Fantastic!

So Much Better than an ink jet printer
on August 24, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Forgot how much I prefer a document printed from a laserjet versus an ink jet printer. The speed at which a print job prints, the fact that you can touch the document immediately without any smudges and as silly as it sounds, the warmth of the print job right from the printer. I have installed this as my default printer for my home office. I know this is a black and white printer but I went ahead and took a print screen of my desktop and printed it. Pleasantly surprised to see all the detail of the various windows and it was readable. Lightweight and neat little box measuring 14" wide, 14" deep and 8" high. Fits quite nicely in my slim office bookcase. I found the setup not quite as simple as I think it should be. I think i should plug it in and the network should find it and it then shows up in the list of printers available. This Laserjet 4001 is the ne, not dwe so it required an ethernet cable to be connected to my network. What?? Who does that anymore! Also, you have to install the HP software and run through that process. Finally, you need to add it as a device in the printer area of the computer. The whole thing took less than an hour after I figured out I needed an ethrenet cable. Worth the effort for that fantastic print job from a laserjet.

Easy to clean and easy to use
on August 21, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
This would is great for someone who lives alone as well as a family of four. If I were in college this would be great. You could make good dinners and possibly avoid the freshmen 15. The unit is about 14" wide and almost as many tall. You will need a good pair of tongs to reach in and turn food. I tried several of the settings, speedimeals, airfryer, dehydrator, bake, saute and slowcook. I dehydrated an apple and a banana. Wouldn't do that on a large scale as it takes 5 - 6 hours and you due to space restrictions you can't fit a lot. I used the airfryer setting to cook a baked potato, 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. I baked chocolate chip cookies. Technically I baked ones that came from the frozen food aisle still came out great. I was able to bake one or two quickly without heating up the whole oven and consequently the kitchen. The grilled cheese came out awesome. Currently I making beef stew using the slow cooker setting after first sauteing the beef in the unit. It is easy to clean and easy to use.

Beautiful Color and Just what I Needed
on August 17, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
I had no idea, but this is exactly what I needed. It's a tad bit bigger than a regular size ipad, but it's so much better than my ipad. It's a hybrid between a laptop and an ipad. It weighs a little over two pounds. It has a laptop style keyboard. And it has a touch screen. It's perfect for surfing the net while watching TV. Just what I need for evenings. If I take my Mac into the living room I end up doing work, not how I want to spend my evenings. With this Microsoft Surface laptop I get the convenience of looking something up or doing personal email without the temptation of work or the frustration of trying to type an email on the ipad. Note: the keyboard is not backlit but that's not an issue. I love the sage green color! The green is so subtle depending on the light it can look silver. The screen image compares to my Mac (granted several years old) and my all in one desktop. If I were to hangout at a coffee shop and use a laptop this would be the one I would take. It's perfect!

Great little Projector
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Great little projector. The very first thing I noticed about this projector was the the travel case in came in. Fantastic. Not only is there a travel case but its actually a backpack. This unit makes it easy for you to travel with it. It has a remote control, nice. And it came with an HDMI cable so it can be connected to the laptop without a trip to the electronics store. Plugged it in and turned it on. Told it to use the HDMI1 port and boom my laptop screen was displaying. Image is good. Need to move the projector away from the screen until you get an optimal image, for me that was just under four feet. Watching a video but didn't have any sound. Finally figured out that I needed to press the volume button on the remote control. Was looking to adjust the feet to raise the front of the projector but the "feet" are molded to the bottom. There is a small screw that unscrews and allows the front of the projector to raise up. All in all easy to setup and use. My dog barks at the dog being displayed so the image works for her too!

Lightweight, Great Graphics on a large screen
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Nice 15" screen and yet the laptop is not that heavy. For the size you would expect to be heavier, glad it isn't. The keyboard is backlit and the color is red. Took about 2 minutes to get used to it. Turns out red light is better for your eyes. There is a full size number pad built in, nice! An Nvidia graphics card does not disappoint. The graphics are like being there ... where ever that video is you are watching. Getting started was easy, just plug it in and turn it on. Runs through a few setup screens, country, language. Then it goes to the Microsoft account login. Interesting, no option to skip, you must have an login to a Microsoft account. You knew it wouldn't be long before it was mandatory! I skipped the free trial of Microsoft 365 because it isn't really free. A credit card is required and will be charged when the "free" trial is over. No thank you! The laptop itself is a light grey with speckles. Wasn't too sure about that when I unpacked it. After a few days I don't even notice it.

Very Fun! and Easy to Use
on August 7, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Very Fun! If I measured correctly (I think I did) there are two strands each sixteen feet of dots. Each strand is twenty and a half feet long so there is a bit of string without dots. The instructions say not to use staples or pins to hang them. I expect any kind of puncture could damage them. They are easy to hang using the included adhesive dots. I laid them across the window trim and they did fine. Those little command hooks would work too. The app is very easy to install. Once installed you can choose from all kinds of available colors and patterns. I mostly keep it on "Waves" which goes from white to blue to green. The "Carnival" choice is nice, its a rainbow of colors with a soft blink. You can make your own color and pattern. There is a wizard "FX Wizard" that you can use to create the effect/color you want. Once you save your custom color/effect with a name, it shows up in the gallery. Although the app is fun, it isn't required. You can plug in the lights and press circle button to turn on. The lights will run through various colors/patterns. Click on the circle when it gets to the one you like and it will stay on that color/pattern.

Easy Setup, Clear Image
on July 21, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
One of the first things I noticed about this monitor is that picture I see is the same size as my old all in one but the unit itself is smaller. This is because the picture goes to edge to edge, no extra room/space on the monitor. Real estate on my desk is at a premium so I appreciate a smaller physical unit that gives me the same size picture. The video has clear images, videos play well. The unit comes with either an adjustable stand or a fixed stand, I received the fixed stand. It works fine for me. the connecting cable is an HDMI cable. Regrettably my Mac does not have an HDMI port and I don't a cable so I can't comment on connecting with a Mac. I did connect to my non Mac laptop and it was very easy. Connect the stand, plug it in and connect it to the laptop. Turn it on. Interesting the monitor asked what language (defaulted to English). Took me a bit to figure out that the buttons under the bottom edge correlate to the up/down arrows etc. Was able to confirm English as the language and then the monitor was displaying my laptop screen. Perfect.

From pour-over to French press and every method in between, Ode Brew Grinder brings the café experience to your kitchen. With single dosing, a small countertop size, a magnetically aligned catch and grinds knocker for added cleanliness, Ode turns a morning chore into an elevated experience.
 

Hi. Since this is sold in America that would imply it is to be used in America. So I was wondering why the specifications here list the voltage requirement as 220v? While I do agree that 220v grid is indeed a better design, I live under tyranny of 120v...

The Fellow grinder plugs into the American standard (120v) outlet in my kitchen and works great. Perhaps the documentation you read had a typo?

my friend accidentally took the power supply for this to rural Mexico, and it is really difficult for him to ship stuff to me. Are there any specs on what the specific 12V power plug is for this, so I can get a compatible replacement?

See the pictures attached; hopefully, that will answer your question

Can I receive this assembled or have someone at the BestBuy store assemble it for an extra charge?? I really like this unit, can't find another with the turntable feature however I do not have all the expertise needed to assemble it. Please advise.

Best Buy offers an installation service. Please inquire at your local store for price and timing.
