This is one of those products that you need to get used to and play with to really appreciate all it can do and determine how it fits into your meal schedule. The first thing I loved is that it is about the same size as my microwave so I was able to just switch them out with no loss of counter space. I like that I can now have the convenience of a microwave without having to then switch something over to the oven to brown it, the combo setting takes care of all that. The air fryer is so easy to use and I like being able to just throw a handful of fries or a few pieces of chicken in without the guilt of using the old one for just me. Because the multi-oven is a good size, cooking a casserole or roast doesn't present a problem. I have a different multi-appliance but it really is too small for a roast or baking dish. This multi-oven only goes up to 425 degrees so if you have things you cook at a higher temperature, you'll still need to use your regular oven. Given I only go over that temperature about twice a year, not a problem for me.
There is an app you can download to get more recipes than the ones which come with the multi-oven and the app tailors the recipe accordingly. It also comes with a safety lock so you can make sure the kids, or the dog, don't accidently turn it on due to the big start button. You can also turn off the beep which signals when the cycle is complete. I do miss the number pad and the ability to just hit a number and the microwave automatically turns on for that amount of time. I'm sure as I use it more, this will be less of an issue. My big complaint with it is the small thin buttons and small writing which is difficult for old and/or tired eyes.
Overall, the multi-oven is very versatile and great for dorm rooms, small apartments or for someone who would like a spare oven without it taking up a bunch of room.

I've never seen the reason to get a juicer. I figured it is much easier to just buy some at the store and cheaper since I didn't have to also buy all the fruit I figured I'd need to make the juice. I got the opportunity to get this one and boy, did it change my mind on juicers. It doesn't take as much fruit as I figured and I can easily make my own combinations, including veggies. The juice is so fresh-tasting. While they include freezing trays, I like using ice cube trays so that my juice doesn't get watered down as I like it over ice. Then I found something even better. I like getting the sparkling water and juice drinks, which are expensive. I was able to make my own and they tasted must better than the canned ones. The clean up was easy and the leftover things were dry so I know this got as much juice out of each item as possible. It seems about as loud as my ice crusher. Definitely would suggest if someone hasn't tried a juicer yet, they may want to.

I think it will depend on what someone wants to use this deep cleaner for that will determine how well they will like it. If they want it for bigger jobs, this is probably the wrong cleaner to use. However, if what they are looking for is a really good spot cleaner, this works great. I always hated the idea of pulling out the big shampooer just to clean a small spot yet cleaning it by hand had its own problems. They've now been solved. We've had two stains that have been driving me nuts. One from a puppy accident and the other from a sick grandchild. I couldn't get them out by hand so was resigned to live with them until I got the big boy out. They are gone now, both of them. The Hoover worked great on both and I now have a stain free carpet. Given the mobility of the cleaner, this should work well for cleaning the carpet and seats of my car as well. My only complaint is that the cleaning reservoir is small and I wish it was a bit bigger so that there wasn't a need to refill it when doing a bigger stain. Otherwise, I'm happy with this cleaner.

Crock-Pot 6-Quart Programmable Cook & Carry Slow Cooker is the perfect programmable slow cooker for those with a busy, on-the-go lifestyle. Its large capacity ensures that everyone gets enough to eat, and its portability makes it a great choice for travel. The secure-fitting lid and locking system create a tight seal between the stoneware and lid.

I got this as the keypad of my 12 yo slow cooker was really starting to have problems. I wanted programmable and Crockpot is an established name. If you want a crockpot that you can set to a basic temperature with basic set times, this will work for you. If you want one where you can set specific times, this won't do the job. There are only two set times for each temperature. They are the basic times but if you are like me and have tailored recipes, you will still need to set timers. It also either takes longer to heat up or isn't as hot as it took two hours longer on high to cook beef stew than in my old slow cooker. The kids didn't mind as they got Burger King out of it. This surprised me as my 8 quart and rectangle Crockpots heat wonderfully. Perhaps it just doesn't like my stew? I'll see how it likes a pork loin next. The locks work. They don't have as tight a seal as I would like but they do the job. Overall I feel it would be okay for basic crock pot cooking and using it for pot lucks but if you play with your recipes which change cooking times, you may want to research further.

I love my regular Keurig but I needed an extra coffee maker that was smaller but still would be just as good. This fits the bill wonderfully. It is fairly compact so it is great for people who have space issues. It works very quickly and you can brew a second cup immediately without having to wait for the water to reheat. It is versatile as it allows you to adjust the temperature of the brew as well as the strength of the brew so you can make your cup of coffee just the way you like it. And, you don't have to remember what you did as you can program that specific brew into the machine. I believe you can program for three different brews. The reservoir is good sized, which is what I love, so you aren't having to fill it for every cup as you must do with other compact single-serve brewers. You can use a travel mug with this as well. I am very happy with this Keurig and I may just have to get one for my office at work.

This is a standard keyboard with a number pad. The response time is great, I didn't experience any delay. It really is a silent touch as it is only the force you use that determines if there is any noise at all. The lighter your touch, the less noise and even with a heavy touch, there is very little noise. This is great for when you are on speakerphone and need to type. The mouse is small and basic but has a contoured grip which is comfortable and has the same silent touch feature. I do like the extra control keys at the top of the keyboard which includes volume control, mute and will bring up your calculator for you. The caps lock does have an indicator but it is on the far side of the keyboard. You'll need to get used to looking there to see if it is on. There is no indicator whether the number lock is on for the keypad.
What I don't like about this keyboard is that the bottom of the keyboard is a bit thicker than the top so unless you use the leg support, you have no wrist support as you are having to lift your wrists up and type downward. That said, it was not hard to adjust to using the leg support though I had to make some adjustments as the keyboard was now higher than I was used to.
Overall, it is a great keyboard for my office, I'll just have to get used to the height difference on the keyboard.

The Shark Vertex Powered Lift-Away is an ultra-powerful Shark upright, featuring DuoClean PowerFins. While the soft front roller pulls in particles, PowerFins deliver nonstop contact to pick up more in every pass (vs. original DuoClean). Plus, Powered Lift-Away lets you detach the pod to go under furniture with the motorized nozzle, or clean above the floor with a push of a button.

This is a fairly lightweight vacuum for an upright, a bit heavy if you are used to a cordless or if, like me, you have arthritis, but it is easy to maneuver and the swivel head helps that along. Fortunately, you really don't have to lift it as it does glide along well. The button for the three settings of hardwood, low and high pile carpet make transitioning easy if you have hardwood floors and area rugs. The cord is long so there is no need to constantly be switching outlets. The canister is a good size and easy to empty. There is a washable HEPA filter to cut down on the usual dust a vacuum puts out. The self-cleaning roll brush seems to live up to its name so far, which I appreciated. It detaches into a hand-held which makes it easy to do stairs and get to places the an upright has difficulty reaching - even with the swivel head that works great for corners. With the pod off, it can even easily clean under furniture. With a cat, dog and grandkids running around, it really did the job picking up dirt and animal hair, leaving things looking clean. The only con I've seen so far is that the pet brush isn't as well made as I expected but given it also didn't have hair wrapped around the brush, it does do what it says.

I'm a Ninja Foodi groupie so I was already expecting great things from the Foodi Power Pitcher System. There are, though, several things that impressed me and took me beyond my expectations. The Quick Start Guide is very good and allows people like me, who have to try my new toy immediately, what I need to know to work my System. While I recommend reading the Owner's Guide first, the Quick Start Guide is very handy to use as a refresher especially if you are new to making certain things. The Owner's Guide is pretty thorough in explaining how to use and also how to maintain your system and it is written in easy to understand language with lots of images to help people understand. It doesn't tell you, however, how to layer things but you get that information in the recipe book. Again, I found the instructions easy to understand and the recipes all look interesting.
While I expected the System to do the basics that a blender and food processor would do, I was impressed to find it does more. It will chop and mince your raw meat. It will make a variety of dough, not just some cookie or brownie dough. It makes edible (not just drinkable) smoothies, called a smoothie bowl. As I have one child who has difficulty drinking things like smoothies or milkshakes, now she can have the equivalent of a healthy soft serve. I'm so glad I now have this system and are looking forward to all the things I'm going to be able to do with it.

Power disturbances can cause equipment damage and lessen your electronic devices lifespan.During power disturbances, you also risk losing connection to your critical devices. Ensure you keep connected to what matters the most with APC Back-UPS.

Sometimes life just has good timing. I received this on a Friday and plugged it in to start charging. On Saturday I plugged in my modem and my wifi extender. On Sunday we had an unexpected power outage. The power was only out for about an hour and a half but it was enough to let me know that I don't have to worry about that in the future. There was no disruption of our wifi at all. Given a blink will cause the modem to reset, you can see why I'm pleased. Our wifi worked for the whole time of the outage with no problems. I'm very happy with this battery backup outlet and think this will make a pretty good gift this Christmas.

I got this as one of my daughters has returned to the nest and her Chromebook was on its last legs - still worked but limping. She is not the most computer savvy person so I thought this may work for her. She had absolutely no problems setting up the laptop or connecting it to the wireless printer. She loves how quick it responds to her commands and also how fast the internet is now. She is very comfortable with the keyboard. This is her first 2in1 so she is thrilled that she can use it as a laptop or a tablet. The screen resolution is average at the moment but we're going to see if there is a way to make it better, this just may be the default. The reason for the loss of a star is the hinges on this Dell. To me, they don't seem real sturdy and I'm concerned about how long they will last before something cracks or breaks. Other than that, this is a really good computer for general use and, as my college-age daughter may need a new computer for the next semester, we are considering getting her one as well.

Tech for real life. This 42mm Gen 5E touchscreen smartwatch features a blush silicone strap, speaker functionality, 4GB storage capacity and three smart battery modes to extend battery life for multiple days. Smartwatches powered with Wear OS by Google are compatible with iPhone® and Android™ phones. Wear OS by Google and other related marks are trademarks of Google LLC. Supported features may vary between platforms. To avoid damage to your watch, only use with included charger. Do not use a USB hub, USB splitter, USB y-cable, battery pack or other peripheral device to charge. Product should be kept more than 20cm away from implanted medical devices to minimize potential for RF interference. See product insert for full details.
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.

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.
