The electric kettle that pours as good as it looks! Uniting stunning design with thoughtful features and a simplistic user interface, Fellow’s Stagg EKG packs a powerful punch. Since different coffees and brew methods require different water temperatures, a home brewer needs complete control in order to perfect recipes. Simply press down on Stagg EKG’s dial to turn the kettle on and twist the dial to set your goal temperature. With a 1200 watt quick-heating element and a unique PID sensor system, Stagg EKG’s to-the-degree temperature control lets you select the exact temperature from 135°F to 212°F. The base also has two switches to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as a toggle for HOLD mode to keep your water hot for 60 minutes. To engage the Brew Stopwatch on the high-res LCD screen to time your pour-over, press and hold on the dial. A counterbalanced handle and fluted spout tip make imprecise pouring a thing of the past.

This review is going to be quick because well let’s be honest it’s a pot that boils water so there is not that many things that can be said. However, the things that are worth mentioning make this kettle worth the purchase in my mind.
First off let’s start with the design. It’s simple clean and easy to store on a counter without it being an attention-grabbing centerpiece. Perfect for those of us who just want the perfect temperature water for our coffee.
The thing is super easy to use plug it in make sure there is water in the pot and then click the dial to turn it on. Rotate the dial to choose a temperature and let it do its thing. It’s super easy and it lets you pick the temperature down to the degree which some other pots won’t let you do. This is key for good pour over as you don’t necessarily want boiling water every time depending on the coffee and the brew process.
Otherwise it has a nice hold feature to keep water hot, this is nice if your making more than one pot or cup of coffee and need the water to stay the same temp between processes.
Otherwise it has a nice hold feature to keep water hot, this is nice if your making more than one pot or cup of coffee and need the water to stay the same temp between processes.
So, the quick and easy is, it looks good, it works great, and the gooseneck lets you pour water precisely and easily exactly where you need it.

Meet Level Bolt, the first and only way to make your lock smart and maintain the design integrity of your home. Level Bolt goes invisibly inside the lock you have today.
Posted by: ViperElectric
from Knoxville, TN, USA
I've been looking for a smart lock that I can use with my current key cylinder since I can't change the actual keying due to being in an apartment. This lock fits the bill perfectly. As far as anyone is concerned the lock is exactly the same as it was before I installed it, now I just have the added benefit of being able to control the lock with my phone and Home Kit as well. Installation was very quick and easy, just remove the old lock bolt insert the new one in it's place and screw everything back together. I did not have any fitment issues and everything was installed in under 10 minutes. Setup with my phone was even easier, just install the level app and register the lock, then add it to Home Kit with the QR code and everything was ready to go.
Operation is fairly quick if I select lock from my home app it takes maybe 15 seconds total for the system to register the request and then lock the door, and as an added bonus you can add automations with Home Kit so that it will lock if your the last person to leave or unlock when you arrive home. Home Kit does prompt you if you want to actually run the automation first so no accidental unlocks or locks as well which is a nice touch.
If I had any complaint (and I'm really stretching here to find one) it might be that when you lock and unlock the door with the key like normal the bolt feels a little more mushy than the standard deadbolt I had but that is probably more to do with lock tolerances in the tailpiece since the lock has to accept different types for compatibility, the lock works fine though so it's not really a problem at all just a "feel" kind of thing.

So I'm the type of person that finds it hard to get in ear earbuds that are comfortable but also sound good. Well this is the first set of true wireless earbuds that seems to fill both bits of that equation. As far as build and feel go the charging case and headphones have a nice solid feel to them but not so heavy or anything that they feel overbearing. They also are as far as true wireless in ears go the most comfortable set I've ever owned. I have always found it hard to find a set that I can wear for more than 10 minutes and that is not the case with these. I'm able to wear them several hours at a time with little to no discomfort which is a nice change of pace.
As for the sound I'm fairly impressed. I don't expect much from true wireless headphones or Bluetooth headphones in general but these have very good sound quality and clarity. They are not overly boosted in the high and mids like a lot of in hear headphones and they have decent base as well that is not overpowering which is nice. Also the Noise cancelation is second only to some over the ear headphones I use so that is also very impressive for the size and quality.
There is also one other feature which is incredible and adds to the overall value for these headphones. The case that comes with the PI7's can also act as a Bluetooth adapter for those devices that only have a 3.5mm headphone jack that feature in itself adds a lot of value if you want wireless headphones but your hardware does not support Bluetooth.
Overall if I had to make a choice between these and other true wireless earbuds I think these make my top of list.

Blackout Spark SL brings Blue’s legendary studio sound to your space. With a professional XLR connection and versatile switches, Blackout Spark SL gives you that broadcast studio voice for pro-level gaming, streaming, podcasting, YouTube videos and more.

The first thing that jumps out about this mic is the packaging. Blue does a great job giving you a package that can be used not just for shipping the mic to you but also storage and transport later. The mic comes in a nice wooden box with foam padding inside. If your the type that needs to transport your hardware often but don't want to worry about breaking it that is a nice inclusion.
The Build quality is another standout to me, in an age where even some expensive "high end" products have begun incorporating more and more plastic into there products this mic has a surprising lack of it. The housing is nice and solid and the condenser housing is also well built. Even the switches feel nice and solid in this mic which is a nice change compared to some other products.
Now for the meat and potato's, the sound. This mic when paired with a good interface or preamp sounds great. Not overly tinny like some large capsule mic's can be and the sound is clean, no excess noise in a normal environment, at least with the hardware I have it connected to. As with all XLR microphones some portion of your sound is going to depend on what your plugged into. As for capture quality, with voice this mic sounds great and with the -20db pad switch I was able to use it to mic up some instruments while testing too. Overall the sound profile is nice and rich. Personally I think it sounds best with vocals and even spoken word though.
Overall I'm super happy with the performance and quality of the mic, at least in the testing I did it sounded great and I had no troubles with it at all. It's also nice that they include a good quality shock mount in the box with it as well. If I had one complaint it might be that I wish they would have included a pop filter as well. Otherwise the mic is great especially at the price point its going at.

When it comes to performance this laptop is top tier, obviously there are other laptops out there that might perform slightly better but at this price point it’s hard to beat the value you get with this laptop in the configuration it is here. Overall build quality is very solid, one of the best laptops I’ve used in a long time. There is a surprising lack of cheap feeling parts and even those parts that are plastic still feel solidly built.
The Screen on this laptop is very nice, and it’s 1440p resolution seem just right for the size of the display. It’s not hard to read text and motion is super smooth. Also, the brightness of the display while not the brightest thing I’ve ever used is just about right for this display size.
The Keyboard is one of the best I’ve used in a laptop period. Super nice crisp feeling keys make typing on this laptop a nice surprise to what I would have expected from a slim profile laptop keyboard. The back lighting of the keys is also nice since you can change the overall color to one that better suits your preferences. I do wish it had per key backlighting but the single zone lighting works well.
I have one main complaint I would like to bring up about this laptop though. While 16GB is enough for most daily use it would have been nice if 8GB of that was not soldered to the motherboard like it is. This makes it essentially impossible to upgrade the ram and keep dual channel operation in any real useful way. This made me doc a star from the rating. But for most people 16GB will be plenty for there use case so this issue will probably never really come up in any normal workload.
Now for the real meat, playing games on this laptop. While the mobile 3070 may not stand up to its desktop brethren it can still hold its own in essentially any game you want to play. While raytracing may not be the best at this level normal gameplay at ultra settings without raytracing turned on is amazing and the refresh rate of the screen is very nice to have when you have a GPU that can perform well. Also, the fact that you can use DLSS because this is an RTX series card gives you that little bit of extra power that you might not have had otherwise. Overall, it’s a solid platform for gaming.
One little word of note, if you plan on using this machine on your lap and not on a table or on a cooler or something, I would recommend maybe not doing that. It can get very warm on the bottom when under heavy load, it’s not going to burn you or anything, but it might be a tad bit uncomfortable. I would say stick to using it on a desk or a cooling pad.

Overall I've been fairly impressed with this electric kettle. It works as expected and is fairly quick to heat up. Much faster than using the stove top to boil water. The overall design is nice and sturdy and the pot is nicely insulated so even if you don't have it set to "warm" it stays warm for a while. It's also quick to re-heat if you don't leave the kettle on the warm setting. If I had one complaint about it it would be that even though it has a digital selector for temperature you can't set the value by individual digits. Instead there are a set of preset temperatures that the kettle scrolls through when you press the plus and minus buttons. There are a reasonable amount of presets but it would be nice to have more granularity. Otherwise it does what it needs to do, it heats up water and keeps it warm even after you take it off the base.

I’ll start with this, the fly more kit is packaged very smartly, the drone and all the accessories are already in the bag that comes with the kit in the box. This is great because the shipping company bashed in the corner of the box I got (not the fault of BestBuy or DJI) and everything in the box was still A-OK because it was packaged well and padded in the case already.
As for initial impressions, this thing is seriously cool. The Camera quality in both Video and Photo modes is very good and this has to be one of the easiest drones I’ve ever flown. I was up and running in less than 30 minutes from box open to first flight. Although I would recommend you charge the battery that is in the drone to begin with first just to have a full battery. For the drone aspect of this system it’s easy to fly and does what you want without too many hassles and it’s nice that it is right under the registration weight here in the US. Photos where easy to take as well as video and overall, I’m very impressed with build quality and camera quality as a whole.
I do have some things that I though could be done better though and most of those pertain to the app that you must use to fly the drone. First, you can’t “Preset” settings for the drone. The drone must be powered on and connected for you to be able to set any settings in the app. In a way that makes sense since they are settings for the drone you are using however it would be nice if you could at least look through and set some items when the drone is not connected and then be prompted to update those settings once you have connected the drone. With a battery that last about 30 minutes in flight I may not always want to sit there with the device powered on (even though it’s pulling less power if the rotors are not spinning) just to look through settings.
The other thing is it is a small disappointment that this drone does not include any sort of obstacle avoidance or object tracking like its larger brothers do. I know part of the reasoning for that is the weight limit, but it would be nice to have at least a software-based object tracking in the app so the drone could follow you around. Also, without obstacle avoidance the “quick shot” modes are kind of hard to use unless you have a very very open space that you are sure it won’t run into anything. For me I have lots of trees and powerlines in my area so its hard to find an open enough area to utilize these modes to their fullest because of the worry that the drone might run into something while it is in it’s automated quick shot arc.
But even with those there are some good things as well, the auto takeoff and return to home features are super helpful to just keep things simple and the app does do a good job overall of letting you know what you need to do to get off the ground so it has that going for it.
Other than those minor complaints I was super happy with the function and quality of the drone overall.

As someone who has used a headset-based microphone for a very long time I have to say going to a condenser based standard microphone is like night and day. This mic sounds amazing compared to any headset mic I have ever used and even some other USB standard mics (like the blue snowball). The overall build and finish of this mic is great super solid feeling with a nice heavy base that never feels like its going to shift around even if its lightly bumped. Also the gold accents for this warcraft edition are super sharp looking as well. The nice features with the runes in place of standard text is an awesome touch as well.
For sound quality this thing sounds great even in a room that not treated for sound dampening, however I will note that if you plan on using this mic near your keyboard you might want to get a quite keyboard. I happen to have a “Clacky” keyboard and the mic picks up every little bit of clacking which is a little unfortunate. Otherwise tones sound good and my voice is about as clear as I’ve ever heard it in any recording so I would say it does well overall.
One final word of note is the software. This is what really makes the mic shine. The preset that are available in the software are great they can give you a warmer tone or make you sound like an am radio broadcast, whatever your going for it can be done super easily in the software. The voice changer is a nice funny touch too for those people who might want to experiment a little with different sounds.
I would say if your looking for a solid upgrade to a standard headset mic and you have the space on your desk for this (it is a little bigger than I thought it would be at first) then this is a must grab at a great price point to boot. It also helps that it’s USB based so that I did not need to worry about XLR or phantom power or anything that relates to most studio style microphones. If I had one complaint it would be that they used micro USB instead of a USB C but because of the overall quality in other areas I can overlook that.

When it comes to electric toothbrushes there seems to be two categories, the ones that are super loud but clean really well and the ones that are super quiet but you might as well just be using a manual toothbrush. The quip pleasantly falls somewhere in the middle, it’s not super loud and it feels like your getting a better cleaning than with just a manual toothbrush alone. It’s also nice that replacement toothbrush heads won’t break the bank and there are no cables or cords to clutter anything up. They even include a nice holder that will stick to any smooth flat surface like a mirror so it keeps the toothbrush up off the counter and out of the way. There is also the added bonus of the Bluetooth app that helps to keep track of your brushing habits, like how long you brush top and bottom so that you can make sure your getting both evenly. Overall the toothbrush works great. The brush head is also comfortable which is nice too. Overall the toothbrush seems like a solid choice if your looking to improve your brushing habits but also not break the bank.

When it comes to air fryers and countertop appliances in general this things comparatively speaking is very large. That is my first warning, it takes up a lot of counter space. So if your kitchen does not have a lot of room to spare or you don't have someplace to store this thing when your not using it you might want to look someplace else.
Overall when it comes to functionality this thing is great, the bake, air fry, and multitude of other cooking options make it a very versatile machine for a lot of uses. It works as expected cooking items in reduced time due to the convection cooking and overall the machine functions well, heating evenly and it's also not as loud as some other air fryers I've used in the past. The large cooking volume is both a good thing and sometimes also can be somewhat of a downside. It's nice to have the removable flat racks, and having the ability to adjust where the food is cooking if your only using one rack is nice. However if you plan on doing very large batches of food and need to use both of the flat racks that's where things kind of suffer a bit in the usability department. With both racks in the air fryer at the same time space between racks can be very limited and sometimes that can make flipping or moving items a little difficult. Also you loose a bit of the convenience that you would normal get with a basket because you can't just pull the basket and shake to move stuff around.

Other than that minor fault, if your doing normal batch sizes and have a variety of items to cook, this thing is great. It also has the added benefit of not needing to turn on an oven when you are just cooking for yourself.

Enjoy powerful performance with this compact HP Pavilion Wave computer. The Intel i3 processor provides fast data handling, while the 1TB hard drive lets you store plenty of files. This HP Pavilion Wave computer has 8GB of RAM to run the latest applications and four USB ports for connecting multiple accessories.
Overall
2 out of 5

I'll be very honest with this one. If you plan on using this computer for anything more than simple word documents and some simple internet use look other places. I would recommend getting the Core i5 version of this computer before you get this one.
Pro's:
Overall design is well thought out. The device is clean and nicely wrapped in a cloth like material that gives is a little bit of room style. I would not mind having this computer sitting next to my TV or even right on my desk as it has a very welcoming look. The sound out of the single speaker on top of the device from the little bit I have used it so far seems really good for such a small setup as well.

Unfortunately this computer is very very under powered. It is nice that they include 8GB of ram but ram is not everything. This computer tends to start dragging and hiccuping any time you try to do more than one thing. I could not watch a video and surf other web pages without response times being slow and sluggish. The i3 processor is just not up to the game of driving both the monitor and the computer. The i5 version has a dedicated video card and i feel that this version would have benefited from that arrangement as well. But for cost savings i can see why they did not include that.

I honestly feel that the i3 processor in this computer just is not enough for someone who may use a computer for more than just the occasional word document or email. It chugs in a bad way when you attempt to do anything more. If all you want to do is load a single page and play music over the included speaker then I would say you are ok, but more than that and be warned it will feel really slow.
