Quiet, Clean allergen free air!

The 3M Filtrete is a great HEPA air cleaner. It has a clean, attractive yet unobtrusive design with a dimmable display. It has multiple speeds for handling small to large amounts of air impurities and also an auto mode that is superb. Noise level performance is fine, allowing for conversations even in close quarters. It compares well across industry standards such as CADR (clean air delivery rate). 3M has been making industrial and residential filter systems for years and this experience shows. Power consumption is low. Set up was very fast and simple. The mobile app works great and provides a lot of functionality and information.

Mature female tried on face. The printed instructions should be much more clear and in a larger font. It is understandable that the cautions were significant and frankly a bit concerning. Following their instructions closely, the use was very straight forward. At first she was taken aback by the strobe effect light, seemed to be a spark, but after using it, that was not an issue. She had no bad reactions to the Smooth Skin - Bare+ IPL Hair Removal System. She did a skin test as her skin is quite sensitive. She is encouraged, but still needs to see the full effect over time. There was a blue light and a fan, and a flash of white light that tells you that it was affecting the area. She had no physical tingling. The 10 minutes to do your entire body is a little on the puffery side. Due to limitations in the manual, I was not able to test it on myself. Watch their videos. Read the manual. Should work well for most people that meet the skin type requirements.

Great blender for full family nutrition!

It is large, but stays on my counter, with a 1,500-watt motor the NutriBullet® Smart Touch Blender™ Combo 1500W is loud, but then again all powerful blenders are loud. The Smart Touch has a user-friendly touchscreen, full-size (read humongous) 64-ounce pitcher with a locking lid and two different sized smaller tumblers, a tamper and a nice recipe guide. The smart touchscreen makes the selection of blending settings easy. It features controls for four settings: purees, soups, frozen drinks and smoothies. It has four speeds — pulse, low, medium and high along with a digital timer that counts down when using presets or that shows time elapsed when using the speed controls. It comes with suction feet that stick (quite strongly) to smooth countertops. I tilt it to the side to break the suction pads loose. No dancing off the countertop. The settings are perfect time-wise - no guessing. It does a great job on soups and smoothies. The construction is very solid with a nice look. The lid is super strong and seats quite firmly by pressing it down on to a locator pin.
Solid, great looking and very functional.

The filter can last up to 12 months without replacement. You can manually adjust the fan speed or use sleep or auto modes. It also has a child lock mode. It is designed for extra-large rooms of 750 square feet or more – my room 21x37. The ACH is 4X, this air purifier cleans my room about every 15 minutes.

Tile finding technology lets you “ring” your headphones if they’re ever lost or misplaced, so you’ll never return home without them. Rapid Charge capability provides 4 hours of listening time on just 10 minutes of charge, and a full charge lets you feel the music for an amazing 40 hours. Crusher Evo is also travel-ready.

Great Tweakable Headphones - BASS, BASS & BASS
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
To start with the provided “case” is a fitted canvas pouch with a fold-over and buckle closure that is easily stowable and I think is pure class. Combined with the sturdy foldable construction of the headset it makes for easy, compact carrying. Comfort wise they are a comfortable fit for me – just the right amount of clamping pressure. At no time does the cushioned headband put its weight on the center top of your head due to a cut out – nice. The weight is reasonable coming in at just over 11 oz.. These are not designed (similar to most over the ear headsets) for weather or exercise and are not waterproof. They have all around quite good response and sound while the Bass slider is great for instant Bass gratification – my biggest aural desire. They use Bluetooth 5.0 and AAC and provide great battery life. They use a USB-C charging cable which can also be used for direct connect playback. My playtime typically exceeds 40 hours on a charge. They are similar to most of my other over the ear headphones in size and fit my ears perfectly. The earcups are cushioned and quite comfortable, providing good isolation from ambient sound and noise. The control buttons are solid with subdued clicks. Switching Bluetooth sources is easy. The set-up using the phone app runs you through a diagnostic hearing test that adjusts the equalizer settings for balancing your hearing and headphones to your taste.
I LOVE the Bass slider!

The Epson EpiqVision™ Mini EF12 Smart Streaming Laser Projector with HDR and Android TV is compact, bright, lightweight (less than a bag of sugar), great unrestrained audio (by Yamaha), low fan noise, negligible heat signature and small in size.

BISSELL JetScrub Pet Lightweight Upright Carpet Cleaner was designed by pet owners with busy lives who are more than familiar with the messes pets leave behind. This less than 14-pound, lightweight machine is easy to grab when those inevitable stains strike, and its compact design also makes it perfect for cleaning rugs and smaller carpeted areas in condos and apartments. LED headlights illuminate hidden stains, and the CleanShot pretreater works with the included PET PRO OXY Urine Eliminator formula to tackle the toughest pet stains. The XL DirtLifter PowerBrush has more than twice the tufts of bristles than the competitive lightweight carpet cleaner to lift and remove embedded stains. You’ll be left with dry carpets in about 30 minutes* with JetScrub Pet’s Express Clean Mode, and the EZ Clean Up design makes maintaining the machine after use a breeze. And JetScrub Pet doesn't just clean up after pets, it helps save them, too! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We’re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.

Awesome Pet and Other Stains Carpet Cleaner!
on January 4, 2021

BISSELL® JetScrub™ Pet Lightweight Upright Carpet Cleaner in Sparkle Silver and Disco Teal Color for pet mess cleanup.
It is lightweight (under 14 pounds), compact and easy to grab, easy to carry up or down stairs, and to store thanks to an internal collapsing handle (that has electronic touch controls). It also comes with a compact storage tray that protects flooring from moisture when not in use. It is great for cleaning rugs and small carpeted areas, for instance cabins, condos and apartments, while an additional head can be purchased for hard surface floors. The LED headlights are bright enough to see stains that are almost invisible or in hard-to-reach spaces. It incorporates the CleanShot pretreater that uses PET PRO OXY Urine Eliminator to get rid of both odor and stains. The PowerBrush roller (XL DirtLifter) has more bristle tufts than competitive lightweight upright carpet cleaners. Carpets dry in about 30 minutes when using JetScrub Pet’s Express Clean Mode. Clean-up after use is simple, fast and not messy.
Your purchase helps save pets through the BISSELL Pet Foundation while making pet messes and odors disappear.

One appliance– Defrosts, Grills, Air Fries, Convection Cooks, or Microwaves plus various combinations. It browns (with no preheating), thaws, cooks quickly, and evenly. This Panasonic counter top appliance is a space saver. Small footprint – large capacity! Automatic programs, and useful power settings are great and easy to use. Interior – EASY to clean. Great as a countertop appliance (I use mine along with a stove top unit), by the way this unit can be over range mounted. Stainless fits modern decor. - awesome

Can you connect them to an audio Bluetooth player, such as an iPhone, to listen to music when not using them for conversation enhancement? If so, what is the audio quality of the music? Do they compare to the similar looking Bose around you neck earbuds.

Best way to get clear low light shots with action
What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
