Several key components make up a good and solid phone nowadays. I'd like to share what Google has to offer in this budget friendly, everyday phone.
1. Outstanding 4K video quality that can easily stand up against it's competitors. This is such a huge feature in today's world where we are constantly updating social media and recording our everyday actions. I have an example of the video quality attached to this review.
2. The photo quality of this phone is excellent. There are tons of cool editing options that take some getting used to, but when you know what you are doing, they are awesome. My favorite photo editing option is the Magic Eraser. I attached a before and after photo to this review. It's certainly a great feature despite not being super high tech.
3. For those that like to customize their user interface, this phone could be a great option for you. I found myself playing around with the phone for an hour just going through the customization options. I think Google did a good job on this. I was able to get my UI looking exactly how I wanted it to look and working best for me.
4. It's a Google phone, so Google Assistant is a big part of it. Some people do not care to use a feature like Google Assistant, and that's fine, but using it on a Google phone is very different. It's very similar to having a personal assistant in the palm of your hands. I set a morning routine and it was refreshing waking up to the weather and news headlines. Because this technology has gotten so advanced, I found myself talking to the phone as if I were talking to a person. Is it a little scary how advanced the technology is on this now? Yes. Am I still going to use it? Absolutely yes.
5. The construction of this phone is comparable to most. The weight is about the same as most. Because I have smaller hands, I prefer a smaller phone. This one is just right with a 6.1" screen size that fits well into the palm of my hand.
Now on to the things I wasn't a fan of. This list is short.
Occasionally the phone would lag. I'm talking about the home page lagging. I would click on an app and it's like the touch sensor wouldn't pick up what I was pushing.
If you are not used to a Google Pixel phone, there is a learning curve. My old phone was set up almost 100% opposite of this one, buttons and all. It took me a while to get used to it. Muscle memory is a hard thing to break.
This is the first 5G compatible phone I've owned and my calls were dropping or I would get terrible reception. This could just be my phone provider or there could be something going on with the phone. I'm really not sure but I just wanted to mention it.
Overall for the price point of the phone, and what Google packed in it, I'd say this phone does exceed expectations and is a great value.

Before this product I had never owned a projector and I realize I was missing out. I have had so much fun using this with family. Setting it up was so easy. All i had to do was plug it in and adjust a few settings. I will say that the most challenging part was figuring out where we were going to set it up. We do not have a screen so we had to find a blank wall to use it on. But once that was figured out, everything else was just plug and play. There are several ways you can set this up to your devices. You can even cast to it from your phone or any device with Bluetooth capabilities. Our plan is to purchase a streaming device to hook up to it and keep it there all the time. We love it. It comes with a really nice backpack to carry everything in. We have a friend that is going to let us set it up outside and project it on the side of the house while we lounge in the pool. The only thing that is a little lacking is the sound. We prefer to hook it up to our speakers because the integrated speakers are just not loud enough. Overall this is a very good product and we enjoy it quite a bit.

Ninja is a trusted brand when it comes to kitchen gadgets and appliances. Their products are made with quality and care. I have owned quite a few Ninja brand products are they hold up very well and served their purpose. This coffee maker is right up there with good quality. Let's start with the appearance. It's sleek and compact. It has a very modern look. The water reservoir can hold up to 14 cups of water. It has a reusable coffee filter that is easy to clean. There are a few different options when it comes to brewing coffee. It can be set to "classic" or "rich." Both options work well. I prefer the "rich" option because I like my coffee a little more bold. This coffee maker is also programmable so you can set it up to your morning routine.
The coffee pot is the only part of the coffee maker I'm not a fan of. If you slide the base of the lid over, you can remove it. While I understand that this mechanism is supposed to make cleaning easier, I found it less reliable in keeping the lid on. Other than that, I really like this coffee maker.

I really enjoy using this all in one computer. I have always wanted to own one but thought that the technology just wasn't there yet for a good, solid home computer. I am really happy with this one. The setup was super easy. They do pack it up well. The actual unboxing took about 10 minutes while the initial startup of the operating system was about 15 minutes. The very first thing that was a major selling point for me was the large 27" touch screen monitor. I like using touch screen 9 times out of 10 when I'm just doing basic web browsing. The screen is very responsive to my touch. The graphics are great and sharp. I can stream movies/tv/videos all with ease.
The next thing I noticed was that the built in speakers were so clear. I feel like they are well built and produce a great sound even though they are built into the computer. No complaints there.
The computer comes with a usb keyboard and mouse. They are pretty standard. Nothing too remarkable there, but also no complaints.
The webcam is pretty neat. I love that it is tucked away inside the computer when you aren't using it. To use it, you just have to press down on it and it pops up. I haven't seen that before in a computer and I like that idea.
The only thing that I would like to see improvements on would be the overall weight of the machine. It is a little heavier than I expected. But since this isn't meant to be toted around like a laptop, I guess I can deal with that. Especially if it means keeping all the other bells and whistles.
Overall I think this is a great home computer for people who are looking for a desktop that doesn't take up so much space, but doesn't lack in performance. It seems like a very well built machine. I am very happy with it.

I will start with the appearance. This laptop has a sleek design. I like the simplicity of it all. It is slightly heavier than expected but still very light for a laptop. It can be used a few different ways. You can fold it back completely to use it as a tablet. You can fold it back slightly and prop it up on your lap and use it like a tablet or you can use it just like a regular laptop. It has an option to set up the fingerprint scanner. I found that it worked out but the setup was a little challenging. You have to have your finger just right. You can also set up a pin number or a standard password. The charging time is fast and the charge lasts for quite a while. The charging cable is a good length too. Not too long and not too short. The screen resolution is amazing. Very sharp and crisp. Its taking me a little while to get used to Windows 11 but that just takes time. The processing speed is fast and multitasking is easy. I would probably keep this one as a home/personal laptop for games and videos versus a work laptop. All in all, a great laptop.

MX Mechanical is crafted for ergonomic comfort, with smart illumination and easy-switch – allowing you to connect up to 3 devices and stay in your flow for hours.
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
I want to start this off by saying that I love the sound and feel of mechanical keyboards. I needed a new keyboard for work and this one has been great so far. I started by charging it. I left it charging for about an hour before using it. You are able to use it while its plugged in. The overall appearance of the keyboard is good. I like the subtle greys and the backlit keys. The aluminum casing is a nice touch and seems very durable. It is pretty lightweight compared to others I have had in the past. The easy switch keys are a first for me. I have not had a keyboard that allowed me to switch between paired devices. I have not really dug into this function yet but I am excited to test it out. The ability to switch the switch types is also a new one for me. It does switch well. I personally prefer the clicky type. Each one feels smooth and the feeling of the keys is great. Just like most keyboards out there, there are feet on the back so you can adjust the height up and down to help with keyboard angle. Overall this is a very cool product. I enjoy using it.

I have used the same basic hair dryer for the past 15 years. It was loud and had the very basic settings. I have a general routine of showering in the morning and blow drying my hair for work. My hair is long and straight so I don't have to do a lot other than brush it out while I'm blow drying it. This hair dryer is awesome. Right away I noticed that its significantly quieter than my old one. The attachments are nice. I love the ocillating feature. I don't burn my scalp while using it. Its a game changer. I also noticed that this dryer dries my hair a lot faster than my old one too. My dry time was cut almost in half which helps majorly in the mornings when I am running behind. Its very lightweight and has a sleek design. Normally when I go on vacation I just use the hair dryers in the hotel rooms. Not this time. I packed this one to take with me. Anytime I'm traveling overnight, I pack it up to take with me. The diffuser is good but my hair just doesn't really respond well to those kinds of attachments. Overall I am so pleased with my new hair dryer.

I have never owned a wet/dry mop vacuum so I don't really have anything to compare it to. It did really well vacuuming up dirt and the mop feature was nice. Its lightweight and easy to maneuver around the house. The only con to this product is that it isn't good for heavy duty mopping. I still had to spot clean some areas that it just wouldn't clean. That being said, its a great addition to my cleaning tools. The setup was super easy. It comes with a bottle of cleaning solution and you only use a cap of solution for every container of water so it will last a long time. It comes with a multipurpose cleaning tool to help keep your vacuum clean and working properly. It is cordless so you will need to charge it. The charge lasted for quite a while. I was pretty impressed with how even the water was distributed on the soft brush and having just the right amount. I didn't see any lines or streaks. The cleaning solution dried quickly so I was able to walk on the floor in just a few minutes. Great product.

This product has been extremely helpful when I've been at home and at the office. I get very wrapped up in what I'm doing around the house and at my desk so it is nice to have a hands free option for my calls. The volume is adjustable and and works really well. I like that it is very small and has a proper case to carry it in. It was very easy to set up. All I had to do was plug it into my phone where my charger would typically go. I was also able to plug it into my computer. It can also be used as just a speaker. I also used it for a few conference calls at work and no one complained about volume or not being able to hear from the other end. Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a useful hands free conference call option.

Never thought I'd get excited over a printer...

Finally! A laserjet that doesn't weigh a ton and require a sturdy table to sit it on. This printer is lighter and smaller than I expected. I love it. It also prints so quickly. I couldn't believe it. I thought maybe the printer just fed 2 pieces of paper through, but there was actually ink on them! It printed so fast. The setup was super easy. I just followed the prompts on the HPSmart app. It can print, scan, and copy. It's such a great device.

Does this have a Display port? From the images it appears to. But from the specifications it does not list one.
Hello there! This has quite a few ports, including a display port, so I took a picture of the guide and attached it. Hope this helps.

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.
