Dynamite Tablet
on October 7, 2016
Posted by: WesternSky
The Acer Tablet is an absolute delight. This is my fist experience with a tablet and what a nice surprise. My whole family doesn't want to put it down! The processor is fast, doesn't get hot even after extended periods of use and does most everything my home computer does. The tablet keyboard is very responsive and has a great feel to it. So far battery life has been amazing. Lots of use with SKYPE, emails, and internet browsing and battery life indicates plenty of charge. Having a great battery life will make you very happy. The tablet is very lightweight and has a great color display. The Acer tablet is very simple to operate, which is another plus. I am totally satisfied and very happy to own this product. This is an overall great tablet. Buy one.

Bissell Whistle-Clean!
on September 14, 2016
Posted by: WesternSky
The Bissell Cross Wave was a snap to assemble, as only one part (the handle) had to be clicked into place. That's it, no further assembly was required. The Cross Wave has a real solid feel to it, as compared to other floor cleaner/carpet cleaners that I have used in the past. The instructions were decent and left no unanswered questions. I have 1700 square feet of tile throughout the house that the unit was used on. The Cross Wave handled the job with no problem. Noteworthy was the fact that the unit had no problems with the vacuuming of small bird seeds and debris. Other cleaners that I have used in the past only propelled the debris to another part of the floor. That was not the case for this unit. Debris was easily sucked and swept into the cleaner. The filling of the water and floor cleaner solutions could not have been easier. The bottle has two fill levels. One level is for small areas, and the other is marked for larger areas. The bottle is also marked for how much of the cleaner solution you need. All the guesswork has been taken out of the equation. This is a very nice touch. The unit also has a dirty water chamber that is a snap to release and empty. The Bissell Cross Wave is far quieter than other models that I have used in the past. The Cross Wave left my tile floors really clean and shiny. No need to spot clean any of my floors before you using this unit. The unit worked quite well on some area rugs and had no problem taking on the job.The Bissell Cross Wave is a great cleaner and is backed by a 2 year guarantee. Two years is a great amount of time to stand behind a unit. The Cross Wave is a winner in my opinion.

Superb Charging Doc
on August 29, 2016
Posted by: WesternSky
The Belkin Apple Watch Doc is a winner. The product is fully assembled. Just plug the power cord into an electrical socket and your ready to charge your Apple Watch and IPhone simultaneously. This product has a "solid" feel. It has good weight and stays in place once placed onto a hard surface. Charge times for any item placed onto the doc were fine. If you are looking for a dual charger, look no further. You will be happy with this product.

Superb WI-FI Range Extender
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: WesternSky
The LINKSYS AC1900 WI-FI Range Extender is an awesome product! It is a welcome addition to any home that experiences dreaded 'dead spots' with their Wi-Fi signals. Your 'dead spot' problem is a thing of the past! Just plug in the LINKSYS AC1900, press one button to set up the device and your on your way. There are no complicated wiring set-ups to contend with and the LINKSYS AC1900 has removed all installation guesswork. One of the many great features that this device has is called "Spot Finder Technology". "Spot Finder Technology" allows you to visually see where the optimal placement of the LINKSYS AC1900 should be. This is an awesome feature as it takes the guesswork out of the device placement. This is a "must have it" feature. WI-FI range is huge, and I had absolutely no problems with dead spots within my home and or my backyard. I even went so far as to go to one of my neighbors homes located two houses down the street with no loss of signal. Amazing! The LINKSYS AC1900 is the one to depend upon. Hands down the LINKSYS AC1900 is an industry leader.

Phenomenal Router
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: WesternSky
The Linksys Max-Stream AC5400 is a POWERHOUSE router that has it all. This device can easily power numerous devices simultaneously throughout ones household without blinking an eye. Numerous family members can be gaming and streaming, computing, surfing the internet and talking on multiple cell phones without any loss of speed or data. WOW! Installation and hook up of the Max-Stream Router was a breeze and Linksys has tech support phone number to answer questions that you might have. This router can do it all. It has a Smart Wi-Fi app for your cell phone which affords you the options of monitoring your network, devices, guest access and even has parental controls. You can access and direct control of this device from anywhere. The router signal strength in my home is extremely strong which is enhanced by 8 antennas which this unit has. I also tested the signal strength with a laptop and cell phone outside the confines of my home by walking down the street. My devices were picking up the router signal at a distance of 350 feet which means that if you have a larger home you should have no problem with fading signals, weak reception and dead areas. Fantastic Range. I'm not going to bore you with specifications of this device, but this Max-Stream AC5400 is packed with state of the art technology that won't disappoint. Upgrade your old router now. This device is a winner!

Durability not there
on February 27, 2016
Posted by: WesternSky
from Florida
Purchased this product back on July 2015 as a memory SD card for my LG Phone. Until the date of this review (February 27, 2016), the product worked flawlessly. Today the product has failed and no longer works. Unable to reformat, and the SD card is dead in the water. I am currently in the process of trying to obtain a warranty replacement from the manufacturer. The one star rating is obvious, as the product failed in the 7th month of usage. I can honestly tell you that my phone is new, and does not get any heavy usage nor does the SD card.

Purchased this battery for my Nikon D7000 camera which I have owned for several years. This is a fantastic battery, that has worked flawlessly since day one. The battery holds a great charge over extended periods of time. I have fully charged this battery on numerous occasions and have left it in the camera for several months only to find that it holds its charge. I have taken hundreds upon hundreds of photographs on a single charge and still have plenty juice left in reserve. Personally, I would not bother with off brands that you find on the internet, as you will be disappointed in the long run. This is a quality product that you can count on for severals years to come. This battery is a winner. Highly recommend to anyone needing to replace their current battery.

Price is Right! Good little Speakers.
on August 9, 2015
Posted by: WesternSky
from Florida
Purchased this set of speakers for my late 2008 MAC computer. The internal ones were no longer working at peak performance, so I purchased these Insignia speakers. Speakers are very compact and when you look at the picture of them online, as well as viewing them in their original packing it appears that they have no stand. But when you insert the wire into the back of the speakers low and behold the speakers now have a stand. Sound is superior to the speakers that came with my MAC. The Insignia speakers are a good bang for your buck. You don't have to worry about plugging the speakers into a wall socket, as they plug directly into your USB. Nice! No transformers to burn out. Overall the sound is very pleasant and you'll be happy with this purchase.

Nice Webcam for the price
on August 7, 2015
Posted by: WesternSky
from Florida
Purchased this webcam for an Acer computer which is running Windows 10. My monitor did not come with a built in Webcam so I was forced to purchase an external one. Upon booting up my computer, I plugged in the Logitech Webcam and Windows 10 did the rest. The Webcam worked immediately, with no manual downloading of any drivers. The only drawback is that you have to "hang" the Webcam on your monitor. The device or clip that is on the Webcam does not really clip onto your monitor with any force, meaning that you have to be really careful with respect to accidentally knocking the Webcam off of your monitor. The picture clarity of the Logitech Webcam is great and 5 megapixels is more than most of the cell phones on the market today. One of the great add ons is that you can adjust the angle of this camera itself therefore you don't have to move your monitor. A superior plus. The camera auto adjusts so you don't have to fiddle around with it. It also self adjusts and corrects for dim light situations. The microphone is also good sounding. This Webcam is a winner.

Great Memory Card

Posted by: WesternSky

Purchased this micro SDHC memory card to supplement the memory for my LG G Stylo phone. Total price on sale was $12.99 plus tax. Seamless operation, works perfectly and have encountered no problems so far. Thirty-two (32) Gig is a massive memory card and will hold more than enough photos, etc. So far, so good. Definitely a winner.

Not so dynamite
December 14, 2016
I have to honestly put some updates to my review of this item. One or two days after the posting of my review this tablet become inoperable. Acer customer service had me factory reset this tablet. That option did not solve the problem. I had to ship this tablet back to Acer for repair. Tablet was received back from repair and the tablet once again is is need of repair after 6 days of use. Tablet has a sluggish response time, does not respond to Google search normally, stumbles when switching programs, and the list goes on. Asked Acer to replace this detective unit, as their customer service wants me to send it in for repairs once again! This unit has no reliability and consumers should be very careful. What an inconvenience as this tablet has less than three weeks use on it and now needs another repair. My five star rating of this unit should be changed to one star. The only positive for this tablet is battery life. I am very, very disappointed with this unit.

Coffee Drinkers Heaven
By WesternSky from Florida
Our home is a coffee drinkers paradise, so the receipt of the DeLonghi was highly anticipated and welcomed. This household consumes at least 16 cups of coffee per day, which does not include the consumption of Cuban Coffee (Turkish/Greek Coffee as others call it) which is currently brewed through non-conventional means. What is meant by that is that Cuban/Turkish/Greek Coffee is not made with a specialty "coffee maker".
The DeLonghi is designed for the brewing of a variety of coffee-based beverages such as American Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Lattes, Hot Chocolate, as well as Cuban/Turkish and Greek coffees. It's cappuccino system easily prepares perfectly frothed coffee, and its 24-hour programmable timer lets you make up to 10 cups of your favorite brew on your personalized schedule. Great news for those users that like the option of using and brewing specialized coffees with ESE pods, as this machines allows for the use of them.
The DeLonghi has a quite a few niceties (some of which I will mention here, and others later on in my review), such as auto shut-off which promotes safe operation. This feature will turn your machine off after 2 hours. The unit has water filtration which helps you achieve that perfect cup of coffee. Also standard with this unit is a cup warmer. NICE touch!
This unit has a removable water tank which allows for easy refilling for when making Espresso, Cappuccino, Cuban, and Greek/Turkish coffee. Just detach the water tank and fill it underneath your kitchen sink faucet. YES! It should be noted the the drip coffee maker has a separate water supply which is not removable. This means that you have to fill the water tank by adding water via a pull out assembly that harbors that coffee filter housing. Noteworthy is the fact that the DeLonghi does not have that "plastic smell " which is almost always present in new coffee makers. Thank Goodness! A word concerning the coffee filter. The unit comes with a permanent metal mesh filter, meaning that you can throw out your paper filters! No more fumbling at 6:00 am trying to separate a paper coffee filter from that multi-pack! There is a removable drip tray keeps your counter tops nice and clean.The drip tray has a hidden "float" and when the water level get too high, the "tip" of the float sticks out through the grill which alerts you to spill out the excess water. This is very cool. This unit also comes with a cup warming surface located on-top of the machine. This is real nice, as many coffee drinkers are located in cold climates and the extra hand warmth feels nice.
The Delonghi comes with a professional style filter holders, both small and large. The filter holder has a very tight fit when attached to the unit. This is a must, as your Espresso and Cappuccinos are brewed under pressure. You certainly don't want a loose fit when brewing your favorites. A word about brewing American Coffee. The DeLonghi has a setting 1- 4 cups which allows for the slow brewing of your coffee. This setting allows the water to slowly be dripped onto the coffee grounds making for stronger coffee. If you have never had a unit with this option, you are in for a treat as they really work. I am not going to provide a review as to the taste of the coffee, lattes, etc as every ones taste is personal. The DeLonghi worked as advertised, and there are no complaints here. Enjoy your coffee.

I would like to add a footnote to my review, as I originally stated that I was not going to comment on the taste of the brewed coffee. I really feel that it would be a disservice if I didn't comment on the DeLonghi's cappuccinos. My entire family is now so hooked on cappuccinos. The frothiness, the creaminess, and the overall flavor is absolutely amazing (even without the milk). Much better than store bought! DeLonghi has done a great job with this machine. So very happy to own this unit. Thanks.

How does this compare with Prestige models as far as quality and comfort of shave? What is the difference between shaver heads?

I personally own the 9500 model, and I can honestly say that this razor is giving me the closet and most irritation free shaves that I have ever experienced. I've been shaving for 50 plus years and have owned just about any razor on the market. This is really a superior product and I don't think you'll be disappointed with the results.
