This HP OJ 5255 replaced my HP DJ 2514. While setup was not flawless once I actually managed to get it setup it worked well and prints looked great. I like that I can choose what I want my scan to be, PDF, JPEG, etc. That's a nice feature. Printing pictures is slow but they do look good. It does have a larger footprint than some other models but the paper tray at the bottom is pretty cool and being able to feed the scanner vs. lifting the lid is a nice touch. It will come in handy to be able to scan more than one page at a time. If you can be patient getting thru setup I think it's a great printer. It took a few times for my i-phone and the printer to sync up but they did eventually and printing from my phone is pretty cool. Downloading the software onto my PC wasn't hard, but there was a lot of different screens to click thru and say no to. For the price point I think it's worth it. I would recommend this printer.

Improve daily oral hygiene routines with this Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush. An internal sensor regulates applied pressure to prevent soreness of teeth and gums, and the BrushSync reminder lets you know when it's time to change the brush head. This Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush removes up to seven times more plaque than a regular toothbrush to maintain oral health.

I'll start by saying that I recommend the Sonicare toothbrushes for anyone. They do a great job of cleaning. This was a replacement from my Essence Sonicare. This 5100 model is sleeker, thinner, and quieter. The design is great, fits well in my hand. You can feel that your teeth are getting cleaned well. This toothbrush has many sensors to help optimize your teeth cleaning. You can tell when you're pressing too hard as the brush sound and intensity lowers. With 3 different modes, Clean, White, and Gum Care you can really make sure you do a superior job cleaning your teeth. Highly recommend this toothbrush. The replacement heads are not too expensive either. No regrets with this toothbrush!

Air purifier does the trick
on November 22, 2017
Posted by: skylord
from Oregon
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have bad allergies and asthma, and I have a cat. So, I need something to help clear the air. This is a medium sized air purifier that does the trick. It's quiet, and it works. The first one I had would quit working after just a few minutes, it would just shut off. So, I took it back to Best Buy and exchanged it for the same model. The 2nd one seems to be fine. It stays on, oscillates, is quiet and does what I need it to do. It is my intention to buy a few more of these for other rooms in my house. I'm happy with my purchase, and with being able to breath better.

Great little heater
on November 22, 2017
Posted by: skylord

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great little heater! If you are looking for something small, quiet and puts out some heat this is the one to do it. In addition to working well it has the safety features that truly should be standard for all portable heaters. It's got the tip-over feature (turns off if it's not upright). It's smaller than I thought it would be but I actually like that feature as a smaller footprint is nice. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend this heater if you need more heat.

Arlo Pro 2 - love it!
on November 20, 2017
Posted by: skylord
from Oregon
So, this is an upgrade for me from the Arlo. Set up is super easy. The directions are good, and following along with the app is a breeze. I can see the picture quality is clearer and more crisp than my non-HD cameras, although I didn't have any issues with the other cameras at all, they are perfectly fine. The microphone option works, people can hear me and I can hear them. Motion sensor recording is sensitive, but I think that is a plus. As soon as I had the cams synced they needed an update, but that took maybe a minute and it was done. I would recommend these to anyone. I'm actually going to buy a set for my parents. I haven't noticed any issues with the night vision, the picture is clear and the focus is exactly what I want. I'm glad to have Arlo Pro 2!

Clean fur, dust and dander quickly with this Hoover REACT cordless pet vacuum. Integrated sensors automatically adjust the level of suction and the brush roll speed to handle different floor types. This Hoover REACT cordless pet vacuum uses a long-lasting lithium battery, so you can clean the whole room without a recharge.

This is my first stick vacuum. In the box there were lots of parts. Most are attachments that can be used for different surfaces. The stick vacuum is light, and not too noisy. I thought it would be great for my stairs, and it is. The only downside is that the stair attachment rubs on itself and makes an awful loud screech. I have tried adjusting it but the sound doesn't stop. When using the floor cleaner you can feel when the rollers change speed. It does this from carpet to hard flooring. It does a nice job of vacuuming on all the surfaces I have used it on. It's footprint is small though so I don't recommend it if you have mostly carpeting, it's not designed for that. The cup that holds the dirt and grime comes off easily and dumping it is not difficult. I did notice that a lot of cat fur was stuck at the top, I used a screwdriver to sweep it out. Overall I think this is good product, I have always liked Hoover vacuums, because of the incredible noise and the inability to just dump the dirt cup I gave it 3 stars.

great thermostat
on November 10, 2017
Posted by: skylord
from Oregon
This thermostat is wonderful. Set up was a breeze. Caution - make sure you have a C wire - or are more electrically advanced than me. There are tons of videos from Honeywell to help you with installation if you have any doubts. It was super easy to install and program. The app is great, works like a charm. The display is really nice and easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone who is into gadgets and likes the idea of being able to remotely control their thermostat. So cool! No cons to speak of, so far it's a great gadget to keep my home warm.

Fuse physical and digital worlds with this Merge cube. It's a toy hologram that you can hold in the palm of your hand, and it works with free apps downloaded onto your iOS or Android smart device at the Merge Miniverse site. This Merge cube lets you play your favorite games with virtual reality goggles.
Posted by: skylord
from Oregon
The Merge Cube works with the VR goggles, you remove the patch (like an eye patch) from the goggles and then view the cube thru the patch or hole. While I could get the cube to change and tried playing a few games with it I was not entertained. I'm sure young kids would like this as it is neat and there are a few apps out there that are free. It is interesting to hold a cube in your hand and watch it change. For the price I would say it's a good toy that most kids would really enjoy.

Pretty cool VR goggles
on October 2, 2017
Posted by: skylord
from Oregon
These VR goggles are pretty cool. Set up is easy, finding free content is a little more difficult. I imagine it will get easier as these become even more popular. I have the iPhone 6s Plus. My phone is a little big for the viewing window but I was still able to get it to work. You can adjust the vision by the lower and upper buttons on the goggles. Use the tester to see if your phone is compatible at https://vrtest.ninja/. Overall, this is a fun device and easy to use. Kids will love it. It gave me a bit of a headache, it feels like its just too close to my face, but I still did it and will continue to use it occasionally because it is still neat to look at and use.

This is a great machine. It's quieter than the older model I own & has some new features. It has a strong brew button which actually does make your coffee taste even stronger. It also has a larger brew size, 12oz. For some reason it is harder for me to see when I need to fill it up with water than my old one. Other than that, which truly isn't a big deal since it has a light that tells you when it needs water I'm impressed with this machine,

how do you connect it
It was easy to connect, plug it in the same room where your router is, let them sync, push the WPS button on your router. Then move it to another location in the house where you still have a good signal, plug it in and let it sync. Then go where you need to boost the signal plug it in and wait for it to sync. If you have green lights that's good, amber light means the signal is weak, but functioning.
