A bit of a learning curve
on June 12, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
This product has more pros than cons.
Pros
- Expensive appearance and sleek design. Looks great!
- Customizable watch face
- Customizable bands
- App is user-friendly
- WiFi capabilities
- Provides several useful apps, but isn't overloaded with them at start-up
- Has Theater Mode which turns off screen and screen wake gestures and silences alerts.
- Has Do Not Disturb mode which just silences the watch. I use this one frequently when I'm about to go into a meeting.
- Has Find My Phone which will allow you to call your phone from your watch to find it. I've had to use this one a couple of times. Works well.
- Has multiple screen display options
Cons
- The buttons and gestures take a while to get used to.
- There is a little bit of a learning curve when connecting to apps from your phone. I was very confused why it was telling me that I needed to use a different text messenger app than my Samsung messenger. I thought for the longest time that I wouldn't be able to use Samsung messenger but then the next day, it worked just fine. I haven't had issues with it since.
- I can see notifications for certain apps like Facebook Messenger but can't read or reply.
- It's large. This is the smaller version of their watch and it feel huge to me. I have a small wrist so I had to remove about 6 links on the band.
- The battery doesn't last as long as I would like. I take it off the charger when I leave for work at 7am and by 7pm it's down to 30%. Not terrible, but some days I will be out until 9 or 10pm and I don't think it would last on one charge. Luckily there are notifications that will alert you and ask you to switch to a different battery mode, but it would be great if it could keep up longer than 12 hours.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Did exactly what I wanted it to do...
on June 12, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
From dorm rooms to man caves, this mini fridge will keep food and beverages cold for as long as you need them. If you are like me, 3.3 cubic feet is hard to imagine while shopping online, so to give you more insight, the product stands about 32 3/4 inches tall and is about 19 1/8 inches wide. It was taller than I expected, but still fit where I was planning on putting it. It weighs about 55 pounds, which really isn't that bad for someone like me who can not lift a ton. It does not have a freezer or ice maker, but I was not looking for that anyway. It has glass shelves on the inside. There are compartments on the door for extra storage which is a plus for the smaller items like ketchup bottles, etc.
The initial setup of this fridge was easy. All I had to do was take it out of the box, plug it in, and select a setting. I was really surprised by how quickly the product was ready to go.
I was also surprised by how quiet the product is while running. I do not ever hear it. It is awesome. Overall the product is a good purchase. If I had to suggest anything to the manufacturer, it would be to add better legs to the bottom. I was setting this down over carpet and it would have been nice to raise it up higher off the carpet with just the legs. We ended up putting it on a platform that worked just as well.

One ring to rule them all!
on May 14, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
If you are looking for a conversation piece that greatly compares to other fitness trackers in the market, look no further. I was drawn to the fact that it is a ring versus a wrist watch. My wrists are small so finding watches that fit well and aren't too bulky are general problems for me. I went with the Horizon Silver and it looks very simple. The only issues I have with this ring is that you have to wear it on your index finger and the size. They say if you really want to wear it on your middle finger, that's fine but you might not get as accurate readings. I do not wear rings on my index finger very often so this took some getting used to. The other thing that took some getting used to was the size. The ring felt very large on my finger so it was annoying to wear at first. My hands are small so adding something that has a little bit of bulk, stands out a little more. Once I got past the physical aspects of the ring, it was all positive. The app was easy to use and provided more than expected. Once you get a couple of weeks of data, the app starts to recognize patterns and gives advice on improving your lifestyle. I really enjoyed the sleep tracking section. It not only told me the amount of time I was in REM sleep, etc., it told me when I needed to go to bed, and how to develop better sleeping habits. The app was also helpful in giving daily goals like getting up and walking. It had sessions for meditation, breathing, and more that was really helpful.
Overall Oura really knocked it out of the park. I think anyone who gets one is going to be really happy and impressed with the results and capabilities.

Pleasantly Surprised
on April 2, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
I was pleasantly surprised by the keyboard's slim profile. In my new job position, I do not have much desk space so having something that is lighter and smaller helps quite a bit. The cell phone stand is a nice touch because now I do not have to have a separate holder off to the side. If I didn't have bulky phone case, it would work much better. But it still holds it just fine. The versatility of the connection to a device is great as well. You can either have it connect via USB or it has the ability to connect via bluetooth. It also has a great function in it that allows it to go into a sleep mode to conserve battery life. The claim is that it can have up to 24 months of battery life so I'd have to check back in 2 years to tell you if it lasts or not.
The keys are also very quiet and slim, similar to a laptop's keyboard. Although I do not really have much of a problem with noise or need something super quiet, it's still nice to have just in case. I really like how portable this product is. It is the same width as my laptop so it fits into my laptop bag really well.
Overall this is one of the most useful keyboards I have ever owned and I think it's a great product to use in the office or at home.

My new go-to for general cleaning
on January 10, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
I will start off by saying that I was no stranger to this brand of vacuum. I think LG does a great job at figuring out what consumers want in their vacuums. There are still some things they can work on, but overall great products. The very first thing i noticed is how light the vacuum is. This makes it very easy to tote it around the house, up and down stairs, and vacuuming above my head, getting cobwebs in what normally would be hard to reach spots. The battery power is not super impressive but is enough of a charge for me to do general vacuuming around the house. If I want to do heavy duty cleaning on "max" I have to switch the battery out for the other one after a short amount of time. But the good thing about LG is that they planned for it. While you are using the vacuum, there is another spot for a spare battery to charge, so you don't have to wait around. You can just switch them out really quickly. The cannister is filtered well. Its not a large cannister but it does the trick for what I need. The attachments are nice too. I used the pet hair attachment and it got most of the dog hair on our sofa and rug. The other attachments do their job as well.
Overally I like how well this cleans and how light it is. I think its a great choice for apartment dwellers and for people that are looking for the daily maintenance floor care. I wouldnt recommend it if you are looking strictly for a deep clean machine. It just doesn't have the power like a wired vacuum does.

Sturdy and professional looking
on October 30, 2022
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
This is a super nice backpack. I have never owned one that has such great protection of my electronics while also being easy to carry. I am very pleasantly surprised at how much I can store in this bag. It has multiple pockets and excellent shoulder straps. This has become my new travel bag for my work and personal laptops. The size is great. I can fit my 17" laptop in it along with all my cables and accessories. The color is nice too. It is black on the outside with an orange interior. It is pretty sleek. The outer shell seems like it will hold up well to the elements as well. I would not try to submerge it by any means but if you get caught in the rain, it seems like it will hold up well. The shoulder straps are padded and comfortable. The overall shape is good too. It is very squared off but this is because it's specifically for electronics. I would recommend this for people that travel for work or students who have to carry their books and laptops around. I plan on using it a lot.

If only it was warmer outside...
on October 30, 2022
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
I will start by saying this is a great option for those looking for an all in one outdoor appliance. It is easy to tote around so we plan to take it with us camping. It is also easy to clean. All I had to do was remove the grill tray, woodchip box, and drip pan and clean them with mild soap and water. Using the grill feature was a little different than using a regular grill. We decided to cook 4 steaks that were about 1" thick. The woodchips were a nice addition to the flavor. We could definitely taste the smokey flavor. The timing on the grill was a little off. We had to cook them longer than the instructions. The booklet that came with it said that we could cook 4 steaks at the same time. While it was possible to fit them on the grill top, I would recommend 2 or 3 maximum at one time. We noticed that the steaks cooked a little unevenly. It is still a good purchase. I am excited to try a lot of the other functions when the weather is nicer. Unfortunately I got this grill right when we were getting rain and 30 degree days. There are 6 other features that I am excited for, mostly the air fryer and baking options. Overall great product.

Excellent product
on October 18, 2022
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
I absolutely love this soundbar. I have owned a couple in the past and this one was so far the easiest to set up. It took me no time to have this set up and ready to go. I didn't have to do anything other than plug an hdmi cable and 2 power cables in and it was ready. The sound quality is great. I like that I can adjust the bass and other features using a small remote. There are 3 sound styles that you can use: movie, night, and music. All 3 are slightly different modes. Movie mode makes it sound like you are at a movie theater. Night mode seems to take the bass out of it. Music mode is, of course, for when you are playing music. There are also settings that are called Dialog Enhancers that give you more of a crisp sound while dialog is playing. Kind of cool but i found it not all that necessary but it could come in handy down the road. This sound bar also offers the ability to use your phone to play music via Bluetooth. Just like everything else, this was easy to set up and worked really well.

Keeps me moving
on October 18, 2022
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
If you are someone who experiences chronic back pain and muscle stiffness, this is a good product to have on hand. Whether you have a small frame or on the larger side, this belt can be adjusted to fit your needs. It charges up quickly using a standard adapter. Once charged you can power it up using one button. If you want heat, this pack has 3 heat settings and heats up very quickly. I was very surprised that I had heat within seconds of turning it on. It does have an automatic shut off vibration when its reached its maximum time. I was not prepared for that when I had it on, and it startled me the first time because the vibration alert is stronger than expected. Nothing crazy just surprised me. The vibration feature of this belt is good. It has 3 different vibration pattern settings and will vibrate for quite a while. It feels like there are small pucks inside the belt that do all of the vibrating vs one large one so it gets pretty powerful results. I also like that this is a belt versus just a pad you lay on. We all have busy lives and being able to move around with the belt on helps out a lot. I don't feel like I am restricted to just laying in bed or on the couch. Overall a pretty good product.

A good home office printer option
on August 30, 2022
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
If you are looking for a good printer for a home office, this one will certainly do the trick.
I have listed the pros and cons below.
Pros:
Small size, helps with storing it. I have a small apartment and this fit perfectly on my bookshelf.
Fairly quick setup. If you have owned products like this one, the setup is very similar.
The ink cartridges go in the front of the printer versus having to access the ports from the top. I like this way because of how im storing the printer.
The printing and copying quality is really nice. I think it is pretty high quality.
Being able to scan multiple pages is a plus.
Now for the cons:
It is louder than I expected. Its not overpowering or anything but I just expected it to be whisper quiet.
The printing takes too long in my opinion. I tried to print a plain black and white sheet and it seemed ok but when I had to print 6 pages, single sided, and one color added, the pages took over a minute to print. Not a big deal but I know that some people might want one that prints faster.
Overall this is a good product for home office use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Concoct a variety of coffee-based beverages with this combination DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine. Its cappuccino system easily prepares perfectly frothed coffee, and its 24-hour programmable timer lets you make up to 10 cups of brew on your schedule. This DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine also makes lattes and hot chocolate.
 

What is the hight that will fit under cabinets.

The coffee maker itself is roughly 13 inches tall. I would make sure it has enough clearance for the steam that comes out of the top. You don't want to constantly be hitting the bottom of a wood cabinet with hot steam every morning. I would say leaving about 6 inches from the top of the coffee maker would be fine.
