Very smooth video and easy to manage menus.

Packaging and case are very nice, charging took a while, maybe two hours out of the box the first time. Afterwards, battery life was very good and the charge time is fine.
The features were easy to flip through with the menu and the screen size is really nice. I have large hands but the camera form factor still allows for a secure hold. Mounting to the frame of my bike was easy with the provided hardware and some ingenuity.
Installing the app was quick and the update was easy to run although a progress bar would have been nice. The quality of the video and stability features took a bit to get adjusted right but the end result was quite good. I am looking forward to trail rides with this.

Superb noise reduction, attractive, & comfortable

Lightweight and the noise reduction is so good all I can hear is the music. Making coffee or running the vacuum, I set it to 'quiet' and the background noise is gone. If I need to pay attention, the 'aware' setting lets me get a sense of what is happening around me without interfering with my listening.
Charging was quick and the controls are well placed, a very nice head set. Paired up quickly and seamlessly with my phone, laptop, and TV.
I am very happy with these.

Easy to use, sleek, automated, and consistent.

I was very impressed with both the overall design aesthetic, and ease of use. The coffee maker fit right under the wall cupboard where we keep our coffee supplies and there was still room to access all features.
Instructions were straight forward and simple to understand. Out of the box, cleaned, and assembled in about 25 minutes and the first cup of coffee followed shortly there after. Over the next few days, we tried each of the beverage types and used the frother, and grinder without a hitch. The grinder was quieter than expected and the adjustments needed were simple and satisfactory.
Instructions for routine maintenance were also very clear - the whole experience was far easier than I had expected. It replaced 3 machines with one and the quality of the brewed coffee was excellent.

First, the form factor isn't a big change, but the grips do feel very nice. the controller seems to have a good weight distribution and my hands certainly weren't feeling as 'gamed out' as usual after a few hours.
I really liked the additional audio EQ features and mixing options so that online collaboration/chat didn't impact in game sound. Being able to use presets and mic adjust on my end was easy to achieve and was nice as well.
For me this was a very satisfying upgrade and improved controller experience and overall nice addition to the gaming kit.

I normally don't mention this part, but: I was impressed with the quality of packaging and instruction. It is a very classy looking grinder and was packaged like it was premium.
Set up was quick and, after an initial wipe down and reading of the instructions, I tested grind size on my favorite beans.
The consistency batch to batch was excellent and the auto shutoff feature was very nice. Cleanup was straight forward with little to no grounds clinging issues.
I also tried a regrind from a coarse to a finer grind and this seemed to work well enough, taste didn't seem to be affected either - sometimes a regrind leaves a bitter taste.
The magnetic cup position was handy and the design of the receptacle did a good job helping to control pour of the grounds.
All around A+ from my perspective.

I bought this for travel and multiplatform use. So far it has plug and played with Windows and Linux systems flawlessly.
The field of view is wider than other cameras I have had and the mounting clip is pretty versatile, and grips well.
I am very happy with the video - had some issues with latency, but was able to clear that up in video software settings.
Very nice!

Set up was a breeze and there are a few options for permanent and temporary locations.
The size is about like a bento box or small lunch box, it mounts easily with the provided hardware or strap and is light weight.
Tried it out on rigid mount on our back porch and it was maybe a 5 minute install. Caught a few bunnies and a fox on still camera so far, tested the video with a walk past it at about 15 feet and did a couple of stop starts - the box is smart and took separate videos and also pics triggered by my movement.
Looking to take it camping also so that I can see what sort of critters are checking out the tent at night. It is quite small and light as noted above so may even take it on a couple long or overnight hikes as well.
Very satisfied.

Finally I don't need to worry about clean water
on June 6, 2021
Posted by: RacineTechie
from Racine, WI
This was a great item for me and long anticipated. I camp and travel do making sure that I have clean safe water is a must for me.
The bottle is a good fit and slips into my cars cup holder about like a 12 oz can would. It also looks nice and my coworkers thought it was pretty cool - which I guess is a plus.
Charging time was about an hour and a half out of box and lasted for me at least a couple of days, I recharged as per instructions and it was a bit less than an hour.
Specifics on how I used it: Sometimes my water bottles would sit in the heat for hours or over night and I'd worry about the quality and safety of the water, so would dump it out and go without water until I could flush and clean the canteen or bottle. I can honestly say, this keeps cold water cold for at least 8 hours in my car, haven't had the chance or need for hot water yet.
I am looking forward to less worry when camping and on longer road trips now, knowing I'll not only have cold water, but clean as well.

Good quality sound and a whole lot of bass, easy to link up to my other speakers and battery life is excellent. Nice to have the piece of mind that it is dust and water proof. Fits in my back pack, office drawer, cup holder in the car and treadmill. This thing has gone everywhere I have for the past 5 days. Very pleased.

Easy to install and setup with our phone and Alexa - maybe 10 minutes or so.
A very clear picture and audio. Being able to set the motion detection area was a nice feature. We are very satisfied with the doorbell camera.

Do the sides of the toaster get hot to the touch when in use??
Not that we noticed, but we only make 4 slices at breakfast and don't go for dark/burnt toast.
I expect if you like your toast dark and are making a lot of it, it may get a bit warm, fortunately, stainless tends to shed heat fairly quickly anyway.
