The first thing I noticed and loved about this vac is the docking station. You don't need to attach it to a wall as the docking station sits right on the floor. That makes it so easy to move if I wish to change where I want to charge it. It breaks down easily so you can use it in one of 3 ways, as a hand-held, as a regular vac or as a wand to reach high places such as light fixtures or the ceiling. There is the ability to add a power boost if you have a tough mess to clean up. It does a great job on both hardwood and carpeted floors and is very easy to maneuver into corners. Picks up pet hair great. The one con I can see is the length of charge. I've gotten between 15 and 20 minutes which is not enough to do the whole house. However, as we generally do each floor on a different day, I'm not having a problem but I did want to point out the time the charge is held. Overall, I love this Wandvac and highly recommend it.

Having never used a water flosser before, I wasn't sure what to expect. The manual that comes with it is wonderful, explaining the different tips and what they are used for as well as explaining how to use each tip properly. The six different tips range from a general one to ones to use with dentures or implants and also for those with braces. The tips come in a resealable bag so the ones you don't use can stay together and you won't have stray tips littering the bottom of your bathroom drawer. It is compact so it is good for smaller vanities, such as mine, so I won't need to take it in and out of the cabinet each day. So far it is holding its charge well and it is charged through a USB cable. The handle of the flosser itself is magnetized so it goes right back in place when I'm finished with it. The reservoir holds enough water for the minute to minute and a half that I use it each time. My mouth really feels clean after using this and hopefully will have positive feedback from my dentist at my next appointment.

I admit I'm a Foodi follower but that said, my expectations are also high. I was not disappointed in this blender/processor at all. It does the jobs it claims to from crushing ice, to blending drinks, to chopping, to making dough and it does it effortlessly. It has six buttons which are programed so you don't need to, much like the popcorn button on a microwave. Even better, you can also adjust speeds. So, while you may start slow when you've thrown your nuts in the blender to make nut butter, as they are chopped up, turning up the speed then smooths all those pieces out. This is wonderful for a dorm room, someone with little counter space or someone who only cooks for a few, such as newlyweds or retirees, as you no longer need both a blender and food processor as you have this together. I enjoyed not having to get my big blender out to make pizza dough. As much as I love the blender, I'm thrilled with the recipe book. Not only are the recipes things I usually make but there is a great section at the beginning which shows you how to adapt your recipes to use in the Foodi. This is another great product from Ninja.

These earphones have been a huge hit. My daughter confiscated, er, borrowed these to use while she works particularly since Covid her hands are usually filled with the sanitizing mister and this way there are no wires to get caught in the straps and mechanics of the thing. She loves it. First, she was impressed with how easy it was to recharge, particularly since it is in the carrying case itself. The charge lasts her all day so she has no downtime in having to recharge the earbuds through the day. The sound quality is great as is the clarity of the microphone. She has been using them for a couple of months and has not found a downside to them yet.

I was introduced to electric kettles when I lived in Europe. Since returning to the US, I have not found one that met the standard I had become used to. They were okay but they just boiled water. That has now changed with this GE electric kettle with digital control.
Yes, you can just boil water but you can also set the temperature if you don't want the water at the 212 degree F but would prefer something lower particularly if you have a temperature at which you prefer to steep your tea. You can set it so you can keep the water in the kettle warm as well. After you boil the water, the digital control will also tell you the temperature of the water in the kettle. It has automatic shut-off when it reaches boiling. It is very sturdy and, while it looks heavy, it is not. I have no problems picking it up when it is filled to maximum.
My only suggestion to GE would be to perhaps put a chart in with their instructions of use as to possible water temperatures for different areas such as what would be best for steeping tea, making instant coffee or hot chocolate so people don't have to wait as long for them to cool, etc. I'm so glad I got this and it is already been earmarked as gifts to my tea-loving friends and family.

My son-in-law has been looking for a reasonably priced shaver that could handle his facial hair. So, we tried this. He likes how it handles and that he can use it wet or dry. The trimmer works great and he's had no problems handling it to get the shape he wants. It's the shaver itself that will be the deciding factor. If you are someone who goes for the 5 o'clock shadow look, this works great. However, if you want a smooth shave, this may not be the right shaver. It leave a bit of stubble so my SIL still has to use a regular razor to get a smooth shave. As he is one who goes back and forth on what he wants, he is very happy with this shaver.

KLH Fusion True Wireless premium high-fidelity sound headphones with 4 Knowles MEMS/Smart Microphones that recognize voice commands without a wake up word. You can answer calls, play music, adjust volume all hands free. USB-C and Wireless charging.
Posted by: ladilyn
from Worcester County, MA
One of my pet peeves about electronic voice commands is that they never seem to understand you when you want them to understand you the most. My daughter has had to save my GPS a couple of times due to that. However, these took little time to get acclimated to the rhythm and accent of the speech of the son-in-law using them. As he has a definite southern drawl, I was very surprised at how quickly the voice commands were followed. The sound was clear and the bass did not overwhelm me but still satisfied him. We both were easily able to fit the earphones to fit our ears comfortably, me having a smaller ear and he has a bigger one. I found the noise-cancelling superb. The case it comes in is its charging station and still had a charge after 7 hours when I used it. Using only one made having my cake and eating it as well possible. It paired quickly and easily with my phone and, since this pair has been commandeered by said SIL, I told the kids this is their answer to what to get me for Christmas.

My son-in-law was complaining about wifi speeds and coverage in my house for the kids' on-line schooling (also for his and my daughter's gaming but they let the kids take all the blame) so I handed him this and told him to have at it. He did. The setup is easy with the eero app, helping you place the routers where they can do the most good. We found that for his gaming, we needed to place one close to where he usually plays so the speeds are sufficient. What has been a big help has been how stable the signal is so that I can move round downstairs and not get dropped due to a dead zone. It also has improved the range so that I can attend ZOOM meetings from anywhere in the house now with speeds and range now sufficient. Importantly, the kids were able to attend all classes without dropping once which was a big boost. Overall, it is a good, steady, simple system.

First, the physical. I got the woman's watch which has a pink wristband. It is a pale pink and blends well with my skin tone so it looks more flesh color when I wear it. It matched everything I wore. The face is very pretty and you can change the background to match your mood. While I usually keep it simple, I did change it a few times to reflect life at the moment. It was fun. The face is big, which is needed, just as any sport watch is, That's taken me some time to get used to but except for a few times, it was fine. I have a big wrist bone so figured I may have to get a different watchband but this one fit without being uncomfortable. So the overall appearance is one where it will adapt to the occasion - workout, work or evening out.
I figure most reviews will focus on the sport side of things so I thought I'd focus on something different. This watch has a speaker and will beep notifications to you when you sync it to your phone. The volume is adjustable and the sound is adequate. I'd prefer if it was louder but I have old ears though, on high, I had no problem hearing it. It will find your phone which is a great feature for those who tend to put down their phone and forget where they put it. The heart rate monitor is great. While most would probably use it to be sure they are exercising optimally, I found it useful to be sure I don't overdo it and know when it is time to take a break. My favorite feature though, is the breathing app. I had my child use it when they started having an anxiety attack and it brought her down, helping her to regulate her breathing and start to do the exercises she's been taught. Needless to say, Santa will be picking one up for her this Christmas. I'm very impressed with this watch and I'm still learning more about it every day.

The Immersion Blender delivers performance you can trust. Create ideal textures from whole-food ingredients like greens and frozen fruit, and enjoy the convenience of blending in your favorite container.
Posted by: ladilyn
from Worcester County, MA
I was surprised at just how heavy - for me - this blender is. That is my big con with it and why it lost a star. Now, on the plus side, due to the coating on it, I am able to rest it in my pan without worry about scratching the pan. It does have a good grip on it and, someone with more strength than me, will easily be able to use it with one hand. My gourmet SOL loves it and has no trouble wielding this blender. I regularly add riced cauliflower and broccoli to my sauces but that means you can see the little lumps. I used this on my spaghetti sauce and it pureed the veggies that were in it so now I was able to have a hearty sauce with no lumps - a benefit as the grandkids don't like lumpy spaghetti sauce. As long someone has the strength, this is a good option.

Can the strap be changed/replaced?
I believe so. It looks like just a standard watchband. I usually have to as I have a big wrist but this fit on my wrist so you may not need to. The pink of the woman's watch is pale so it blends with the skin tone.

I used this with speakers where I controlled the volume. It was the volume on this that determined how loud the music sounded.

Can I install this on 2 of my computers or is it licensed for only one install?
My understanding is that you can install this on a primary and secondary computer - such as a a laptop and desktop when you use both. However, the program cannot be run on both devices at the same time.
