Get a healthier, brighter smile with the Philips Sonicare 9000 Special Edition. This toothbrush features a pressure sensor, 4 brushing modes, 3 intensities and smart brush head mode pairing technology. The Philips Sonicare 9000 Special Edition will look beautiful in your bathroom, with elegant charging glass and premium finishings. Track your brushing within the Sonicare App to ensure you're reaching your oral health care goals.

Included- handle, brush head, charging stand and base, travel case
The Philips Sonicare 9000 is their latest and greatest version of what Sonicare does best. I've owned a few Sonicares and I believe they are the best. It does most of the work for you so brushing is easy and thorough.
The blue/black design I have is beautiful. The ombre effect from top to bottom is a dark navy blue to a rich blue. It's dark and moody and very attractive. The charging base is a dark bronze. The updated charging glass is actually a plastic stand with a low profile. The travel case is a basic black plastic case with just enough room for the handle and head. It is not a charging case like some have included. The case is the least impressive out of everything because it feels cheap.
The Sonicare 9000 has three intensities- low, medium, high and four different settings- Clean, White, Gum health, and deep clean. It's also equipped with smart sensors to give you feedback on the Sonicare app. There is a pressure sensor to help protect your teeth and gums, a BrushPacer with an interval timer to help brush evenly, a timer that lets you know when the cycle is done, and a brush head replacement reminder that tracks the wear of the brush head.
The Philips Sonicare is the only toothbrush I will ever use and this 9000 Special Edition is great. I know they're expensive but a great investment. It will always leave your teeth shiny and clean.

It features a powerful, high-quality speaker system for a truly amazing viewing experience.

Included- Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-FH02 Full HD 1080p Smart Streaming Portable Projector, Android streaming stick, power cord, remote controls, batteries and Quick setup guide
The setup was very easy and didn't take more than a few minutes. There is a side cover you need to remove to connect the cables. Push down on the tab and remove the cover. Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port and the USB cable and then connect those cables to the streaming media player. Put the cover back on. To power up you can either press the power button on the projector or on the remote. Adjusting the picture height is simple by pressing the button in front of the projector and the leg can be adjusted. To reduce or enlarge the image press menu button on the remote control and then follow with left or right. To sharpen the image, turn the focus ring. There will be on screen instructions to connect the media player, pair the remote control and set up the TV. It has a suggested list of apps to download once you sign in. Once you sign into the apps you're all set.
So one of the pros is also a con. The Epiqvision Flex projector is smaller and compact in order to be portable. But because it's made to travel, it is not mountable. I wish there was some type of travel bag that came with but you will have to provide one. The sound is alright. If I was using this long term I would run the sound through a sound system. For presentations meetings it will be fine. The picture quality was great. The Epson projector is a full 1080p picture and boasts a brightness of 3000 lumens. I had no problem seeing the picture even without complete darkness. This projector will make any meeting, show, game or movie better and more enjoyable to watch.

With Shark FlexStyle, you can easily transform between a powerful, fast, hair dryer, and an ultra-versatile multi-styler with no-heat-damage. One twist is all it takes to flex from one to the other. Attach different stylers and unlock the ability to curl, volumize, smooth, and dry—the choice is yours. Lightweight & powerful, FlexStyle is the answer to fast, easy styling.
Posted by: mamallg
Included-
Styling/hair dryer wand, Attachments- 2 curler barrels, oval brush, paddle brush, styling concentrator and Styling Guide
The Shark FlexStyle System is a combination of hair dryer and hair styler all wrapped into one. It provides many options for most of your styling needs with multiple attachments and settings. There are 3 settings- low/medium/high. There are 4 temperature settings- none/low/medium/high. There is also a "cool shot" button.
To use the Shark Flexstyle System, it is best to first dry your hair to 80-90% dry. To use it as a hair dryer, slide down the lock button and rotate the nozzle left which will switch it to the dryer mode so you can aim the heat easily. Then decide which attachment you are planning to use, push it into the wand until it clicks. The first attachment are two 1.25" barrels. They auto-wrap the hair around the barrel, one in each direction. There is no twisting and rotating required of the wand. The curl only wraps well around the barrel if it's on the high setting but gives a nice curl. The oval brush is meant to smooth while adding volume and bounce. It will give you a nice blow-out look. The paddle brush should be used if you want to smooth and straighten your hair. It might not give you a completely straight look depending on your hair type, but will be a good styling start if you want to finish up with a flat iron. The concentrator allows you to style and dry at the same time because it focuses the heat and air on a smaller area.
The Styling Guide is very detailed with instructions, pictures, recommended settings and helpful tips. You can even scan the QR code to watch how-to videos.
The Shark FlexStyle System works very well. It is loud and can get really hot, so it's good it has many settings so you can customize it for your hair. The attachments switch out very easily. I use a flat iron often, so that's the one attachment I'm missing since the paddle brush isn't enough for me. There is also a curl-defining diffuser available for an additional cost. But overall, you get a lot with this system. It's an attractive set and it works well. I highly recommend it.

iOttie - Velox MagSafe Duo Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand
Included- Velox stand with a built in USB-C cable
This charger looks very nice and will fit in well with everything else around it. It's sleek and simple. It's very easy to set up and use and it's quite simple. The airpod charging pad is pretty basic. The watch charger is raised and can rotate. For the phone, there's two options. There's a non slip flat pad or a raised magsafe charger that holds it magnetically. There is an LED indicator light so you can see it's charging. One con is that the charger will not work on older phone models, it works on 12 and newer.
All of these are very easy to use and have caused no issues. There's a button on the charger to turn on fans behind the chargers to cool your devices while they're charging. This is a great idea and I can definitely tell that they're cooler when I pick them up compared to using it without the fans.
Overall, this is a great charger that combines all your chargers into one and I would definitely recommend it.

The king returns to raise the game. Enter the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro—the most advanced gaming mouse. Armed to the teeth with industry-leading technology, unlock your maximum potential with a weapon that pushes the known limits of performance, customization, connectivity, and control.
Posted by: mamallg
The mouse is very comfortable and fits in the hand very well. The buttons are all well placed and they have a nice feel to them when clicked. It glides over the mousepad nicely and doesn't stick. The Chroma RGB lighting gives it a cool effect in the dark, and overall, it's just a good looking mouse. This specific mouse has everything that Razer has to offer in a mouse. It's easy to set up and figure out. The applications you can download for Razer that go along with this mouse and their other products make them very customizable. For this mouse specifically, you can customize the lighting, change the button inputs, change the scroll wheel mode from clicks to free spin, change the DPI, and even set up different profiles for different people. You can use this mouse wirelessly for a long period of time via bluetooth, or when it's time to charge, plug it in and continue using it wired. Overall, this is a high quality mouse that is good in about every aspect and I would definitely recommend it.

Featuring a hand operated rear-wheel control, adjustable frame, and a quick-attach connection. Hover-1 My First Hoverboard Combo will completely transform your child’s next hoverboard adventure. “Travel at the speed of life.”
Posted by: mamallg
Assembly-
Immediately charge the Hoverboard with the included wall charger. The red indicator light on the charger shows it's still charging and green means it's done. The hoverboard battery indicator will show green for fully charged, yelllow for charging and flashing red and beeping when the battery is low. It takes about 5 hours to fully charge. The instructions to assemble the Hover 1 Go-Kart was very clear and easy to follow. There's only a few steps and it didn't very long to put together. Once assembled, installing the Hover-1 Go-Kart and Hoverboard scooter are also fairly easy to do with the detailed manual.
Operating-
To use the Hoverboard, press the power button that is located on the back to turn it on. Press again once to turn it off. There are four sensors under the foot mats to control the speed and direction. From behind, carefully step onto the Hoverboard quickly and stand with your weight evenly distributed on the foot mats. Your center of gravity dictates what direction you move, accelerate, slow down or stop. You need to tilt in the direction you wish to move. Always remember to always dismount when the Hoverboard is completely stopped.
The Hoverboard is really fun for the kids. I wish the battery lasted longer. The kids get impatient and don't always let it full charge throughout the day, obviously only at night. We had some problems with the first Hoverboard that was sent with the GoKart. It never charged properly. I was impressed with the prompt responses I received from Hover-1 and they sent me a replacement. The process did take a couple months and now the new Hoverboard does not work with the KoKart so I can't speak to that part. But overall, we're happy with the Hoverboard. The kids love it because it's super fun to play with.

The best cleaning performance of any upright de-tangling vacuum.¹ The Dyson Ball Animal 3 tackles tough tasks easily, making it ideal for pet owners and parents. New de-tangling technology automatically clears wrapped hair from the brush bar as it cleans. With Ball technology and 3 cleaning modes, the Dyson Ball Animal 3 smoothly navigates around furniture and obstacles with a simple turn of the wrist, for precise cleaning. With no loss of suction, 2 Dyson-engineered accessories, and up to a total of 50ft reach, the vacuum gets up high, down low and everywhere in between for a whole-home deep clean. Comes with a 5-year warranty and lifetime Dyson support.
Posted by: mamallg
Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum
Included- vacuum, 3 accessories- nozzle and brush combo tool, stair tool and tool holder, and quick guide
Set up-
After unpacking the vacuum and parts, I had to refer to the guide to help with assembly. It's a few quick steps and they include pictures to assemble the parts. It's fairly easy to follow and the clicking noise lets you know the parts are in place. I had a minor issue connecting the handle to the hose because it wasn't clicking until I withdrew the handle, like I was trying to pull it all the way out to start over and then it clicked before that happened. The full manual is available online.
To operate-
Plug in the cord. Push the large red power button on the left. Pull the handle back and you can start vacuuming. When the handle is upright, the suction will flow through the wand so you can utilize the accessories. The button on the right is to start and stop the roller brush. There are three settings to work with different flooring. When facing the vacuum, the left position is for deep and medium pile carpets and delicate flooring. The middle position is for low pile carpets and large debris. The right position is for hard floors.
My opinion-
This is my fourth Dyson and my 2nd upright and this is my least favorite vacuum. I was so excited to receive this and I'm slightly disappointed. The Animal 3 is so heavy at over 17 pounds. With today's technology, I expected it to be just as light or lighter than my multiball 2 which is about 15 pounds. It definitely has the Dyson suction power you know. However, my biggest complaint vacuum is that it's really hard to push. I have a medium pile carpet and even on the left setting, there's a lot of resistance. My arm gets super tired. I have a 4000 sq. ft. house and I vacuum twice a week and I struggle to get it done. Online, it states there may be some difficulty pushing the vacuum on some flooring and to switch the setting to the left. It honestly didn't help. I've tried all 3 settings and it's still too hard to push and steer. It doesn't swivel and turn easily. It also doesn't vacuum my rugs. I'm used to running over my rugs when I do the floors to get the crumbs and dirt and I can't just push it to run over the edge and onto the rug. I'd have to lift it up to get it on there and then it just gets stuck every time. The vacuum head reminds me a lot of the Dyson stick vacuums I own. It has a nice low profile and it's a little narrow than my multiball so it fits into smaller spaces better. The canister is quite large and fits in a lot of dirt so it doesn't have to be emptied all the time. The filters are easy to access and clean.
Overall, the Animal 3 is my least favorite Dyson. I wish it was lighter and easier to push and steer.
Pros-
3 settings
Very long cord
Low profile, narrow head, fits under cabinets and through tight spaces better
Great suction

Introducing the Panasonic nanoe salon Hair dryer with oscillating quick-dry nozzle EH-NA67-W (white)—the hair dryer that lets you achieve a healthy, radiant look every day, with no hot spots as you dry. A unique oscillating dryer head disperses heat evenly, making sure you are in ultimate comfort. Moisture-infusing nanoe technology hydrates hair by gently infusing nanoe particles, which hold 1000x more moisture than regular ions, into every shaft of hair so you can dry hair without drying it out. The nanoe salon Hair dryer is perfect for the whole family, whether you need an easy-breezy blow dry or more advanced, salon-level styling from home. The included diffuser attachment helps you keep curls and waves healthy and hydrated, and a concentrator attachment allows for a direct stream of air.

Panasonic - EH-NA67-W Nanoe Hair Dryer with Oscillating QuickDry Nozzle
Included- hair dryer, 3 attachments, 2 year limited warranty
The Panasonic - EH-NA67-W Nanoe Hair Dryer with Oscillating QuickDry Nozzle boasts salon quality, resulting in a healthy, shiny finish every day. It uses the nanoe technology that helps moisturize your hair while drying it, so that it doesn't dry it out. There are three different attachments to use with the dryer. The oscillating (back and forth) movement, quick-dry nozzle constantly moves the heat back and forth onto your hair, so there are no hot spots, drying your hair more evenly. There is a diffuser to help keep your curls or wave healthy and with less frizz. Finally, the concentrator attachment allows for the air to directly blow in a more controlled setting. There are multiple settings to customize your needs. The blower can be high, low or off and the heat settings are hot, warm and cool. There is also a cool shot button.
I have long thick, wavy hair and this dryer worked pretty well. I stay on the low, warm setting to not burn out my hair and so it took a little while to dry it completely, but if I'm not in a rush it's ok. And I appreciate that it's helping keep my hair healthier even though I'm using the heat on it. I am used to moving the dryer back and forth so the oscillating nozzle is nice but I don't really stop moving it around. It's pretty lightweight and weighs only about a pound.
I think it's a bit spendy but overall a decent hair dryer. Dryers can really wreck hair and this one doesn't. It helps give you a nice clean finish.

Included- Luna Play Plus 2, plastic case, Micro Foam cleanser
The Luna Play Plus 2 comes in a plastic case that I kept because it fits in there perfectly and it protects it. The case is great for storage and travel. The scrubber features a soft ultra-hygienic silicone and upgraded motor. The T-sonic pulsations lift away dirt and oil. Compared to a similar product that uses nylon bristles, the Luna Play Plus has a 2 zone brush head which has 35x more touch points. Since it is waterproof, you can use it in the bath or shower too. I really like the Micro Foam cleanser that was included. At first, I was unsure because it was somewhat hard and thick but once you add a little water and scrub with, it becomes really foamy and bubbly.
The Luna Play Play Plus 2 is easy to use. Just dampen your skin, apply the cleanser to the device or directly to your face. Wet the device. Move the device in a circular motion around your face. Rinse and pat dry.
The scrubber is super soft and feels nice on my skin when using it. Size wise, it's the tiniest bit too small for my hand though. I would love if it they offered a couple different sizes for people in the future. But it's good and scrubs your face very thoroughly. Overall, I really liked it.

Included- Epson Home Cinema 2200, Quick Setup Guide, remotes with batteries, power cable
Starting up the Epson Projector is really easy. If you are projecting from another video source or computer, connect that first. Then plug the projector in and the power light will turn blue. Open the lens cover all the way and press the power button on either the projector or the remote control. The light will flash and stay on. To use the Android TV or on-demand features, press and hold the "home" and "enter" buttons on the projector remote control to pair it to the projector. Adjusting the image is super simple. To sharpen the image, use the focus ring. If you want to reduce or enlarge the image, use the zoom ring.
The projector can be placed on almost any flat surface or it can be suspended from the ceiling with an optional ceiling mount. Adjust the height of the image by pressing the foot release button and lift the front of the projector. When you release the button, it will lock the foot into its current position. If the image is tilted on a flat surface, adjust the rear feet on both sides until it's level. the height of the image by pressing the foot release button and lift the front of the projector. When you release the button, it will lock the foot into its current position. If the image is tilted on a flat surface, adjust the rear feet on both sides until it's level.
The Epson projector has a built in Android TV streaming device that will be launched after the remote control is paired to the projector. You can also connect video equipment, a computer, gaming console or Blu Ray device to the projector. Just connect the HDMI cable to the projector's HDMI port and the other end to the device you're using. The projector has a built-in speaker that can play audio source like a DVD player or streaming device. You can also connect the projector to external speakers via the Audio Out Port. The projector is also Bluetooth enabled.
Because the Epson Home Cinema is powered by Google and has the Android TV built in, you cam stream any of your favorite channels like Netflix or Hulu or watch any movie.
The color quality is amazing with 2700 lumens of color brightness and white brightness. The HD picture is clear and crisp with 1080p and contrast ratio of 35,000:1. The viewable screen is up to 320" to allow plenty of viewing screen for everyone. The picture is so good. I don't have an actual screen, just a blank wall and I don't have any complaints.
The projector will be great to have some fun viewing parties outside in the backyard with family and friends or inside in our basement with a makeshift theater room. The Epson Home Cinema 2200 projector provides so much entertainment.

Does it have an analog OUTPUT so I can plug in a non-Bose subwoofer?
I don't believe you can plug a different brand sub in.

Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>
How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.
It's extremely loud. I also own an Oreck XL and the Bissell is so much louder.
