Such a nice little unit this laptop is. I picked it up as a “family” unit for the great room and it’s the perfect companion for a multitude of hands and care for individual electronics. It’s solidly built, with a nice bright display, and great battery life.
It was super easy to get setup and connected to my existing Google mail account. It handles all that you’d expect from a ChromeBook including your standard browsing, browser-based mail, and it handled editing some of my Google Sheets just fine.

The SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System has crime-fighting features other systems dream about. With red and blue flashing lights, bright spotlights, two-way audio, and loud sirens, you can intimidate intruders and prevent crime from happening, and these features are controllable remotely in the Swann Security app. You get free local recording for up to 180 days+ onto the massive 1TB hard drive and the option to backup video to your Dropbox account. Know what’s happening at any hour with powerful infrared night vision up to 115’/35m and Night2Day™ gives you amazing color video at night up to 32’/10m. Swann’s True Detect™ heat and motion detection senses people and cars for more reliable monitoring and fewer false alarms. The 4K Ultra HD video and powerful digital zoom, the cameras let you actively watch over entrances, yards, driveways, parking lots, shop floors, storerooms, and customer service areas. With the Swann Security app, push notifications let you know what’s happening and you can even watch live or playback video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. In fact, you can view any of the cameras on your smart TV, and speak to see hands-free via Hey Google and Alexa devices. The cameras plug into power while their video signal back to the NVR is transmitted wirelessly, so you don’t have to worry about drilling into walls and running cables anywhere. The NVR connects to your internet router via the included network cable or Wi-Fi, while the new SwannNet™ technology allows you to select whether each camera connects to the NVR or your home Wi-Fi, meaning you can choose whichever network has a stronger Wi-Fi signal. This gives you greater flexibility to place the cameras where they need to be, and their robust indoor/outdoor design is built to withstand rain, snow and heat, all year round. That’s the SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System – it’s another example of security made smarter from Swann.

We just moved into a new home and I wanted to get a stand alone camera system for our large barn (1500 sq ft) at the back of the property. I wanted something that was WiFi capable and could provide me with visibility in and around the barn as well as to keep an eye on our chicken coup. I’ve had Swann products before and decided this would be a good stand alone unit for what we wanted so picked it up.
The setup was relatively straightforward. I was able to configure everything relatively easily and quickly through the on-screen wizard using just the supplied mouse. While I didn’t try it, I assumed I could have plugged a USB keyboard into the unit and made the setup move that much faster, but I couldn’t find my wired USB a keyboard in the pile of boxes we have still yet to unpack.
I put a camera up inside the barn and the remaining three at various vantage points outside the structure. I’m getting a really good image with the 4K cameras. Night vision works quite well. Setup was quick and easy. My biggest challenge was getting power to each of the cameras but Swann included extra power wire which made things a lot easier.
I also downloaded the iOS app and it works well. Provides for the standard functions you’d expect from an app for this purpose. Probably the only knock I have on this unit is the lack of some sort of alternative power source, like a built in battery with some sort of solar panel option which is why i left it at 4 stars. Other than that this is a solid CCTV solution.

We just moved into our new home and I've had a lot of work to do getting the family situated and pulling the house together. We were also fortunate enough to end up with a pool in our new place. So this portable speaker has been put through the wringer over the last few weeks.
I've taken it with me into the garage as I worked on getting everything organized and in order. It was nice to have my tunes blaring out while I was working (6 1/2 hours yesterday just organizing things). The sound is amazing and the bass is solid.
When I'm not working on getting the household pulled together, I take it with me out to the pool so we can enjoy some tunes while enjoying the warm weather. This unit really packs a lot of sound and bass into a relatively small package. I also appreciate that it's water-resistant. I've had no problem with this speaker going a good 10-12 hours with no loss of sound or power. Really a great buy.

Cordless Professional Grade Hair and Beard Trimmer
Posted by: amarks94070
from San Carlos, CA
This is, by far, the best personal grooming product that I’ve ever owned. This trimmer is advertised as THE top of the line, and it is. The moment I opened the box I could tell this was a quality product. It’s got a solid sturdy feel like nothing I’ve ever used in this category. I was so fascinated by the design and quality I took it with me to my hair stylist and had her give it a go. She was wildly impressed with the weight, feel, and performance.
Literally, the BEST personal grooming product I’ve ever owned.

Introducing the Ninja Cold Press Juicer Pro, a better way to juice at home. With Cold Press Technology, this powerful juicer produces more juice*, less foam, and brighter colors than leading centrifugal juicers.**
Posted by: amarks94070
from San Carlos, CA
My doctor told me that I needed to get more vegetables and fruits in my diet. I’ve used my high-end blender before with frozen fruit, but I really wanted to take advantage of all of this great fresh fruit I have access to. So I picked up this juicer.
The juicer is very easy to assemble. After rinsing all the parts with some warm water, I assembled the unit (which took like 2 minutes) and started juicing. It did a fantastic job with the fresh fruit I got. I picked up some fresh apples and pears and a bag of lemons. I cut the apples and pears up into appx 2” pieces, skin on, and peeled a lemon (you need to peel fruit with thick skin like that). I then started feeding those pieces through feed chute chamber and the auger grabbed them up quickly and easily.
The juicer did an amazing job with the fruit I sent through. The juice flowed out into the juice jug with the pulp ending up in pulp container. The outcome was an amazingly fresh and flavorful cup of Apple-Pear juice.
Disassembling the unit was super easy. Everything but the main motor is washable and the unit comes with a special cleaning brush that helps get into some of the tighter places. I quick rinse and brush with warm water is all it took.The unit comes with three different filters you can choose from based on the amount of pulp you want in your juice (along with a one-pager tips & tricks for using filters.
All-in-all a great purchase and well worth the price.

Charger-friendly: Comply tips are specially designed to fit in most wireless charging cases without interfering with charging. Extra Protection: Built-in TechDefender guard protects your earbuds' sound port from debris, wax and sweat.

I love my Airpods Pro, but I've struggled with finding the right foam tips for them. The silicon ones supplied by Apple don't cut it for me. The shape of my ears and canals made it difficult for me to get a snug fit, that both kept them in place, but also allowed me to take advantage of the great noise-canceling functionality.
Well, these foam tips really exceeded my expectations. Made with memory foam, these ear tips really feel secure and I haven't felt like my Airpods were about to slip out while walking or working out. They are SOOO snug, and as a result, the noise cancellation and even the Transparency mode seem to work much better. I bought the largest size they had and they fit well into the Airpods Pro case.
Well worth the price point. Comes 3 sets to a package and I've already ordered a backup package because I expect to get a lot of use out of these.

Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Deluxe 3-in-1 Upright Vacuum: Easily remove dirt, dust and debris from carpets and bare floors with a bagless vacuum that converts from an upright to a Lift-Away Pod with powered brush roll to a canister with caddy.
Posted by: amarks94070
from San Carlos, CA
We've owned Shark vacuums in the past, but this is by far the best unit we've ever purchased. With a new dog as part of our household along with a new home in a much more dusty location out in the countryside, I felt we needed to get something more powerful than the stick vacuum we had to take care of our new wooden floors.
The power of this one is amazing! It picks up dog hair like there is no tomorrow. The suction is fantastic, something I've had problems with in the past. The package comes with a pet multi-tool and a 12" crevice tool which is ideal for getting at any cobwebs that form in the corners and crevices where the walls meet the ceiling. I love the lift away mode which just offers up a lot more flexibility when you're trying to get things cleaned.
Overall this is an amazing vacuum, with a 5 year warranty, and a great value (IMO) for what we paid.

Never worry about holding a hot kettle or running out of hot water for your favorite tea, coffee or soup again. Thanks to the timeless stainless steel finish on all our kettles, they will tastefully complement any kitchen or office decor with the reliability you've come to expect from a brand you trust.

Everyone we talk to that has an electric kettle raves about it. So we decided to pick up this one and see for myself. I was tired of using the coffee maker as a heat source, and there was always the microwave, but with both options, we risked the chance of getting some odd smell in the water.
So I picked this one up because I liked the idea of the digital controls. It comes in two pieces as you can see from the pictures and is so easy to use that my 80-year-old mother could figure it out without directions. You just set the temperature you want the water at using the +/- buttons and then hit the On button and the water starts heating up. The display shows you the water temperature as it's heating and beeps when it hits your target temp.
It took 52 F temp water and heated it to 185 F temp in about 2 1/2 minutes. Well worth the price if you're looking for a good, high-quality kettle that looks nice enough to leave on your kitchen counter.

This isn't our first Blue Air Purifier and won't be our last. I think we have one in most of the rooms in our home. I got this one for my home office where I spend a good 8-10 hours per day. The unit itself is small and unobtrusive. At its recommended "Low" speed setting it's absolutely quiet. The only way you'll know it's on is the light on the top. Even if it's on "High" the sound is equivalent to a quiet fan.
I've always struggled with allergies, and as the weather warms up I like to have the windows open. This unit helps me manage those allergies well. I've been running it in my home office now for about 2 weeks and I've found a noticeable difference in the air quality.
For the price point, the Blue Pure 411+ offers impressive performance, low power consumption, quiet operation, a minimalist design, and a high-quality build. You're getting high-quality performance for a budget price. The biggest drawback I could come up with is the lack of a timer, but I'd prefer to have it running 24/7 so it really didn't impact my purchase decision or my satisfaction with the unit.

What a great pair of over the ear headphones. They came charged out of the box and paired with my iPhone quickly and easily. As someone who wears glasses, I am very particular about how well the over-ear headphones sit and feel with glasses on. These handle glasses quite well.
The sound is amazing. In my initial test of these headphones, I chose an eclectic mix of music including Security Joan (Donald Fagen), Mercy Street (Peter Gabriel), Telephone Line (ELO), We Will Rock You (Queen), Serengetti (Grateful Dead), and Song for America (Kansas). Every track sounded exceptional. Great highs. Solid lows. The headphones handled the bass really well.
I also made a few calls to friends and family and all said that my voice sounded and clear and strong. A really well rounded and solid set of headphones. One of the best I've purchased in a long time.

I just purchased this projector along with a universal ceiling mount, but there aren't any holes for actually mounting the projector.. Can it be ceiling mounted? If so, how?
I don't believe so. I think I read in the online manual that this unit is not meant to be mounted on a ceiling which makes sense given the way in which its designed to work.
