Very lightweight
on June 20, 2021
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
from Carmel
I have mixed feelings about this vacuum. I have mostly laminate floors with 2 rooms of low pile carpet and 2 area rugs.
I tested the vacuum on multiple surfaces to see how it does and I'm just not sure if it's right for me.
Pros:
- It is very lightweight. It weighs less than 4 pounds and isn't bulky like some stick vacuums.
- It is pretty quiet. Obviously all vacuums make some level of sound but this one is quieter than others.
- It has multiple attachments. I can use this for just about any surface and for any crevice that others may not be able to reach.
- UV light is a nice touch. Their website has their test results on viruses, bacteria, dust mites, etc. and it seems like it definitely works. I live with someone who has a moderate dust mite allergy so this definitely peaked our interest. Time will tell if it works.
Cons:
- Very small dirt cannister. We have a 1400 SF house and I had to empty the cannister twice. This could be because this vacuum is picking up more than my other, but I can generally vacuum our entire house twice before I have to empty the cannister on our other vacuum. This is just a convenience thing, not really a big issue.
- It has multiple attachments. I had this one as a pro and a con. Multiple attachments are great but they don't include a storage bag or anyway to store them. Along with that, the instructions were not extremely clear on what brush to use for carpet and what one to use for hard surfaces. Since I have carpet, area rugs and laminate, it was disappointing that I had to switch out the heads so that I didn't scratch the floor. It would be nice to be able to use one head for all surfaces.
- Not great on carpet in my opinion. Agitation is what helps loosen dirt in carpets. With this vacuum only weighing 3.8 lbs, I don't think it has enough weight to apply the necessary pressure for the brush to agitate the carpet.
- Suction doesn't seem like it's enough. I'm still getting used to it because it's different. As I said above, I'm not sure if it's picking up more than my other vacuum. I'm still working on the test for that. Having 3 suction options is nice if you are using this for blinds, drapes, bedding, etc. After testing the settings, the only one that seems to be working the best on all levels is the highest setting.
After reviewing this review, you can see why I'm a little torn. I've only had it for about a week so I'm going to continue to use it and see if anything changes. This is more for someone with a small family with one or no pets. I think its a good daily vacuum but not something I would deep clean with.

Great for work and play
on May 17, 2021
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow

This monitor is great for work and play. Crystal clear images and slim design make it ideal for someone looking for great graphics but might not want a large display. I find it perfect for my home office. It is extremely light. I was almost afraid of damaging it as I was taking it out of the box because it was so thin. The back contains a "sleeve" so you can manage cables a little better. I like this feature as I am always trying to keep my cables looking clean and manageable. Overall this would make a great addition to anyone's home office. Highly recommend.

AMAZING
on May 10, 2021
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
from Carmel
I am truly amazed by this product. Setup was super easy. Changing the screen resolution was the longest task and it took seconds.
I love this monitor. The color and resolution are perfect for games. It feels like I'm immersed in the game. I generally get motion sickness, so virtual reality headsets are a little too much for me, but this monitor is perfect. Now don't misunderstand, this is just a monitor, not an VR product. But because of the clarity and shape, it feels very immersive.
I love the design as well. All of the ports that are located on the back are easy to get to. The menu buttons are on the bottom which makes changing settings pretty easy. It's also not really heavy. It does have some weight because of the size, but it's pretty easy to move around. If you thinking about using a curved monitor, this one is a great investment. It seems to be built very well and offers several different angle and height options AND can be wall mounted if you really wanted it to be. I would highly recommend this monitor. Great job, Samsung!

Works really well
on April 18, 2021
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
from Carmel
First thing I'd like to note for anyone considering this product: Please follow the instructions and do the test area.
I started with the test area on my calf, and I'm so glad I did because the full power was too painful for me. I am very fair-skinned and I needed to do the gentle setting the entire time I used this product. For anyone that is curious, it feels like a little zap and the discomfort goes away almost immediately. After doing this for a while, you won't feel it anymore or it will be less intense.
That being said, the area that I did the full power test on worked right away after just one application, and after 6 weeks, I do not have any hair growth in that area.
The gentle setting took a little longer to see results. After 6 sessions, I noticed less hair, but not completely clear. The hair on my legs is coarse so I think I will need to work up to the full power setting.
Overall this product works. I would not suggest it to anyone that has sensitive skin or has a low pain tolerance as it does sting and takes some getting used to.

Still figuring it all out
on March 7, 2021
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
from Carmel
As the description suggests, this is very much a plug and play microphone. Not much to the set up. I do not do a ton of recording, however recently my workplace has asked that I do video tutorials of certain job tasks and my headset was just not cutting it. My voice would cut out and you would hear all of the background noise. I live in an apartment so I needed something that could produce better quality sounds.
I like this microphone because it cuts out the background noise and makes everything sound very clean. Since I am fairly new to this level of voice recording, I am still figuring everything out. When I am on Discord or just doing a simple voice recording, my voice comes through very clean but also deeper than it should so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, my settings are off, or that's just the way it is. Samson has good customer support so I'm going to see if there is anything else that I can do to fix that.
Overall I would say that this is a good buy for anyone that is streaming or recording. Samson has a great reputation for quality and support so this will not disappoint.

Great Quality Product for Any Type of Gamer
on February 21, 2021
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
from Carmel
Asus products hold up really well. I still have a 7 year old Asus desktop that outperforms some of the laptops that I've used in the past.
This gaming laptop has some very nice features that I can appreciate.
1. Graphics are top notch.
2. Keyboard is backlit. I like that the WASD keys are a different color and easily noticeable. I also like that I can switch the lights from static, to breathing, to strobe, etc. It's pretty cool.
3. Keyboard is quiet, but has the same type of feel as a mechanical keyboard. Very nice response.
4. The volume buttons are very easy to find at the top of the keyboard.
5. For the most part, the laptop itself is quiet. Sometimes gaming laptops have a loud fan and you can't adjust the fan settings. This one allows you to adjust the fan settings. So if you are playing games, adjust it to "Performance" and if you are browsing the web, adjust it to silent. Asus also has a whole program so you can look at the overall performance and customize settings.
Now for some things I did not really like:
1. The scroll pad is not as responsive as I'd like. I only really use it when I'm web browsing but it gets a little annoying when I can't tap it hard enough to select something. The left and right click are ok but once again, not really as responsive as I'd like.
2. Battery life is ok but if you wanted to game for a while, you should be near an outlet. Most people that use gaming laptops for gaming are plugged in, but it would be nice to be able to game for more than a few hours without having to plug in.
Overall this is a fantastic laptop for people who like to be able to customize their settings with ease for high performance. No matter what games you play, this laptop has your back.

Finally making tea the right way!
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
from Carmel
We are big tea drinkers in my household. Ninety-nine percent of the time we microwaved a cup of water. We had used a kettle on the stove for a brief time, but found that it took a while to get the water to boil on an electric stovetop. This electric kettle has been a hit!
I didn't realize on most tea packets, it actually tells you what temperature to steep the tea bag in. With this kettle, you have a digital reading that you can adjust to the correct temperature and within less than a minute, the water is ready. It is so nice. We use ours everyday. It is a bit loud but no louder than using a stovetop kettle. The only complaint I have really is that the instructions are a bit vague. It would be nice if they could send out a more detailed description of first time setup and different controls. But we've obviously figured it out. All in all, this is a great product.

My significant other has bad environmental allergies to dust mites, mold, mildew, etc.
I try to keep our apartment as clean as possible, so I am no stranger to air purifiers. We have tried a variety of different brands but have only found one brand to be true to it's claims. I'm happy to report that this brand has made the list! This air purifier does an outstanding job of providing a lot of useful data. It can tell you how much of a particular particle size it is detecting in your air along with telling you the humidity levels and temperature of the area you place it in.
We have an open concept kitchen, dining, and living room so I chose a central location that I thought would be best.
The first reaction we had to this purifier when we opened the packaging was about it's design. It's very modern looking. Almost resembles a very popular gaming console that was released in 2020. It's sleek and tall. People generally comment how cool it looks while they try to figure out what it is.
Setup is super easy. You just have to unpackage everything. The filters are easy to locate and change out when needed.
I downloaded the app on my phone so that I could see all the data in more depth. If you are familiar with registering products through your phone, you shouldn't have any issues with this. Took about 5 minutes to get it all downloaded and connected.
When I turned everything on, I actually thought it was defective because I couldn't hear it, but once I played around with the fan speeds, I realized that it's just that quiet. This is the first air purifier that we've owned that we can't really hear running. That being said, it's still filtering the air like it should. I was amazed.
Once I played around with the settings some more, I put it on Auto mode and let it run for a couple of days. I haven't had any issues.
Since it's close to our kitchen, it actually detected a little bit of smoke that was coming from our indoor grill. We were searing meat and it actually turned up the fan to help the smoke and smell dissipate. I didn't expect it to do that. I love that it does that. Not that I'm searing or burning things a lot but it's good to know that if my cooking goes south, at least the air purifier will aid me in hiding the ruins.
Overall I would say that if you are in the market for a high tech, super quiet air purifier, this is the one to go to. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Appreciate these so much!

Walkers/runners, look no further!
I'll get right to it, if you are looking for a set of earbuds that allow you to stay aware of your surroundings without having to take one out or constantly pause/play what you are listening to, these are for you.
Pros:
1. Lightweight. I barely feel them.
2. Shape. These do NOT go over the entrance to your ear canal. They actually sit a little above which makes it so you can still hear what's going on around you (as long as your aren't blasting your music, which, lets be honest, you shouldn't be doing anyway). Being a female walker/runner, I appreciate being able to be aware of my surroundings while listening to my favorite music/podcast.
3. Secure fit. These will feel like they are on the verge of falling off your ears, especially if you wear glasses, such as myself. It takes some getting used to. I was able to run, jump, do jumping jacks, burpees, etc. without them falling out. I also did some stretching and even when I tried to get them to fall off they didn't. They are awesome.
4. Sound quality is great. Bose did a good job of making sure they weren't sacrificing great sound for great comfort. You get both.
5. Calls come in crystal clear. I am on the phone A LOT for my job. I used these for 3 hours straight, alternating between calls and music. I had no issues at all with taking calls and the caller being able to hear me. Switching from music to calls was seamless.
6. Battery life. I was able to get 4 hours of continuous use on one charge. It went from 100% down to 30% in about 3 hours. That's really nice for wireless buds. Charging them back up took very little time.
Cons:
1. Little buttons on the bottom of each bud. I'm not a huge fan of this system. I have another set of Bose ear buds that have a tapping system that I like better. It's not a huge deal, just takes a little bit to get used to.
That's it. One con.
I love these things.

Time to upgrade!

I've had the same hair dryer for about 10 years. I never thought I had a good reason to replace it. I thought that all hair dryers were the same...until this one.
We live in an age where everything is becoming a smart something or other. I really didn't think that a "smart" hair dryer would ever be a thing that I would want or need. But then this product came into my life and honestly, it's pretty awesome.
When you use it correctly, it can detect moisture in your hair and adjust the temperature of your hair dryer for you. Sounds pretty crazy, right? Well when you are a tomboy like myself who was never really taught how to do her hair and ends up over-drying her hair every, single, time, a product like this is a lifesaver...well hair saver.
I have really long hair (waist length) and it likes to hold onto water like a camel. I generally don't blow dry it but there are several occasions where I've had to and this hair dryer has made things easy. I have now been more conscious of how much time I'm spending blow drying it, and I LOVE that it adjusts the temperature automatically. On top of the adjustment, you will see a light that comes on as an indicator as well.
The attachments that come with it are the typical attachments you get with most hair dryers EXCEPT THESE ARE MAGNETIC. I thought that because my hair is thick, the defuser attachment would just fall right off, but no, it stays in place.
I will give you kind of a friendly warning to those that might be like myself, the texture of your hair will feel different after using this for the first couple of times. It makes your hair shinier and healthier looking instead of the frizzball that I was typically used to. I wasn't prepared for that. It was a pleasant surprise.
There is an app that you can download and it gives you even more options for the hair dryer. There is a pet option, which I haven't used because we do not have any pets. There is also a kids mode, also don't have kids, but I'd imagine this is a nice touch. The style mode is good for setting your hairstyles. I am still getting used to that one.
Overall this product surpassed my expectations and I think it is a really good investment for someone that uses a hair dryer on a regular basis. The quality seems outstanding so I'm sure this one will be around for a while as well.

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.
