The styling of the Espresso Defined professional-quality espresso machine will make it the centerpiece of any kitchen. With 19 bars of pressure, this unit produces intense flavor and a rick, velvety smooth cream. Presents and menu options let users adjust flavor strength and brew temperature, to customize each cup. Easy start to finish, with used capsules ejected right into an internal waste bin. Compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine capsules, this is Cuisinart at its best!

Requires Nespresso Capsules, No Good for Me
on December 25, 2020

I did not realize that being "compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine Capsules" meant that they were required. I am tired of coffee makers that essentially require a subscription service in the form of pods. This makes this nice looking coffee maker a no go.
The packaging should say the espresso OriginalLine Capsules are required. Being "compatible" with them sounds like they are optional.
The maker looks really nice and professional, would look great in any kitchen or office though.

The Shark Vertex combines incredible suction power with the convenience of a lightweight cordless stick. Featuring DuoClean PowerFins technology with two brushrolls, you get deep cleaning to pick up more in every pass* and a MultiFLEX wand for flexible reach and compact storage (*vs. original DuoClean).

So light!

I love Shark vacuums, especially their cordless wand vacuums. The Shark Vertex DuoClean is no exception. It is a fantastic vacuum that has enough power to vacuum a 2400 square foot house twice over on a single charge. It is supposed to be able to last 60 minutes on a single charge, but I haven't had to use it for nearly that long to see. It does go strong for at least 30 minutes with no difference in power.
Its ability to bend in the middle so that it can go under things like couches and beds is great. It makes vacuuming the whole house a snap, and I don't have to move most furniture.
The attachments are also great, especially when using it in handheld mode, or using the wand to vacuum high-up corners, chandeliers, and other light fixtures, etc.
The only downside as compared to some other similar Shark vacuums is that this only comes with one battery, but so far, that isn't an issue, as it lasts so long on the single battery.

Smaller size, same great features - The Anova Precision® Cooker Container 12L was designed specifically with sous vide in mind and is a great space saving alternative to our other containers. It’s patented Hemiflow design features smooth, curved edges to help the water circulate more efficiently and heat your water with the quickness.

Easy to Use and Effective

There isn't much to the Anova Precision Cooker Container, but it works great. It's curved edges are meant for better water mixing resulting in more even cooking.
Anova Sous Vide devices fit perfect in the designated slot, preventing much evaporation and trapping in the heat. The rack that is included keep the bags of food completely submerged to ensure a full cook.
Overall, this is the perfect compliment to a Sous Vide cooker.

Lightweight, Small, and Easy

The Quip toothbrush is an affordable smart electric toothbrush that does what it says it will do, with no extra costly frills.
This connected toothbrush features vibration reminders, which help you focus consistent time on each quadrant of your teeth. It also connects to the app, which allows you to monitor your brushing habits (or more importantly, your children's brushing habits).
It also features an affordable subscription program to get replacement brush heads and batteries. The app actually includes rewards for consistent brushing, which can be redeemed for discounts on refills from the subscription program.
I love this brush because it doesn't take up much cabinet space (especially if you use the brush holder that mounts to your mirror or medicine cabinet), which also makes it very easy to travel with.

Great if You are Concerned About Your Heart-Health
on November 5, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Let me start by saying I love this watch and it's stylish approach to a hybrid smartwatch. It has an elegant design with a no-nonsense display. It features mechanical hands, with a small display. However, it feels like Withings just barely missed the mark here. Especially in a post-Corona Virus world, I am so surprised the watch didn't also include a temperature monitor for a watch so focused on health. It is a relatively cheap addition that could have added a lot more peace of mind.
It does have a great focus on heart-health, as it monitors your oxygen saturation level, as well as an electrocardiogram. It also has sleep monitoring, including watching for breathing disturbances.
The biggest shortcomings are the lack of NFC, especially for payments, on-board GPS, and music controls. These three elements are crucial for today's smartwatch.
If you are concerned about your heart-health, and that is your priority, this watch is for you. If you are looking for stylish, fully functioning smart watch, I would keep looking. It's high price and lack of standard features make it valuable only to a select few.

Fantastic - Easy (But Wired) Setup
on October 28, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Swann Enforcer camera system is amazing. Since it utilizes heat signatures, I now get far fewer false positives, which is great since I get notifications on my phone when movement (with a heat signature) is detected.
While this set is easy to setup, it is not wireless, so for those of you trying to install in difficult areas, or areas that can't be wired, these won't work for you. Otherwise, these are ideal.

Amazing for Remote Working
on October 28, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
As many of you know do, I work remotely, and have a house with two kids and a dog. While they are all well behaved, there can be moments of chaos. Even in those moments, I can hear (and be heard) just fine by whoever is on the other end of my call. I really have been blown away how easy it is to do dishes, laundry, etc. while on a call with a business associate without them knowing.
These have allowed me to be super productive, and I love them.
Do note that bone-conduction headsets are not meant for stellar music quality. If you are just looking for a headset for music, these are not the unit for you. Otherwise, these are amazing!

Perfect, Especially if You for Satellite Locations
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The PowerConference Bluetooth speaker is so simple to use. It's great for any time I'm meeting with someone and need to bring other individuals for reference or networking.
To be clear: it is easy to carry this in a small bag or briefcase (or even your pocket, but it is a bit big) to instantly turn any room into a conference room. IT sets up in moments, and works without any complex finagling; if you know how to pair a Bluetooth device with your phone, you are ready to use the Anker PowerConference speaker.
It sounds crystal clear, and its battery is supposed to last for 24 hours, meaning that as long as it gets charged between meetings, it will ALWAYS be good to go.

I was Skeptical, Now I am a Believer
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Despite the odd name (Razer Kishi), I decided to give this controller a try Xbox Game Pass Ultimate now offering game streaming to cell phones and tablets.
Let me just say that this blows all of the competition I have tried (and I've tried about everything I can find). It is easy to transport due to it's small size, but firmly hold all of the cell phones I have tried with it (Pixel 2,3, and 4). Games are a pleasure to play, and the buttons feel so similar to a standard console controller.
I can't recommend this enough if you want to game on the go.
