Future of wine drinking - awesome device
on May 25, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
This device may be pricey, however I predict it will be the future of wine drinking everywhere. It is not only easy to use, it allows you to uncork a bottle of your favorite wine without popping the cork. This kit includes 2 gas containers that easily fit inside the device, plus two twisty tops for screw cap wine bottles. With one quick swift motion, the needle pierces the cork and allows the gas to extract wine from the bottle into your glass and then you pull out the device/needle and put the bottle back on the shelf for future use. It does not disturb the taste of the wine and I even added the aerator device to it so it will allow the wine to breathe. This is an ingenious device and one I will use over and over again.

Polaroid aint what it used to be
on April 24, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Thought I would go back in time to use what used to be a great camera and now is pretty much obsolete and not great pictures. This may look like the old Polaroid and what I thought was great prints instantly, instead its exposures are dark and take forever to develop and the pictures are grainy and shady. I would think twice about ordering one of these camera to use for everyday pics. This is more for your kids to play with than a serious photographer. I would stick to the cell phone cameras and a printer.

Absolute quality air purifier/humidity control
on April 11, 2020
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
My wife and children suffer from bad allergies and any poor air quality indoors effects their breathing and asthma and especially during warmer seasons and really everything effects their nasal and breathing passages. Bring in Dyson which creates the most quality products I have ever seen. Not only have I had nothing but great luck with Dyson Vacuums, but I compare their quality and ease of use to Apple products. Even the packaging and easy to follow instructions and iPhone apps, are easy to use, follow and help to moderate their product use. This product is no different and is a standup cool fan, humidifier plus air purifier to level out the air quality in your home, monitor the quality and let you know the percentages of air quality, how outside air effects it and with the easy to follow diagram on the front face of the fan, inside the app and allows a simple easy to use interface. This device may cost a little most but has various fan levels, is a sleek design and can shift air flows throughout any size rooms. I would highly recommend.

App needs work and not that fun
on November 28, 2019
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I am a Star Wars fan however this item I tried numerous times and in general it is just not that fun. The lightsaber is similar to the other types of plastic lightsabers that are out there and it syncs with either your iPhone or iPad and you are able to choose characters to train with and then fight against. The training is complicated and its just an odd set up. The actual battles are not battles against a character, but just showing you a picture and hearing the types of attacks needed to fight the character which is even odder. I was shocked how bad this app was and how this toy was basically worthless. Sorry but I would not recommend.

Had low expectations but this seems ok so far
on November 11, 2019
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Had low hopes for this light since I have tried several bedtime devices and one is not better than the other. Set up for this device is seamless and it syncs with your phone easily over Wifi. The device has a few options, winding you down at bedtime with slow breathing techniques and easing you awake with a soft glow much like sunlight and added sounds to choose, birds, forest, farm etc. The best part is you dont need the phone to work this device as it has settings directly on the touchpad screen. You can even set alarms to wake you up slowly. So far I do seem to feel refreshed from it even though I have not stuck to the routine. Phone app tracks breathing techniques and you can even put on the radio or your own music wired into this device.

The Apple of sound...Sonos does it again
on October 12, 2019
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have owned several Sonos products over the years, from the soundbar to the Play 2 and Play 1 and even the Sonos Sub and this device is another fine product from the Apple of sound. I mean lets face it, this thing is even packaged like an Apple item. I have tried all other bluetooth speakers including Bose and the sound does not even come close. This device is both Wifi and bluettooth capable which is much different than other devices and it is just a beautiful looking speaker. Looks similar to a Play 1 but is larger and weather proof and is easy to move around. The speaker is larger than most other bluetooth speakers and is full of bass and crystal clear sound and is all Sonos. You can play music from the Sonos app synced with your Apple or Amazon or even Sirius XM. There is a reason Sonos prices their devices higher than others, like Apple, they are designed great and just all around excellent products.

Issues with this brush, spotty connection to app
on October 8, 2019
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have owned several Sonicare Toothbrushes in the past and I wanted to give this device a try since it is a newer concept syncing with an app to make brushing easier and more seamless. The set up is straightforward and seemed to work well, syncing with bluetooth on my phone and the app looks pretty standard, showing you areas to pay attention to in your mouth. The one issue I kept having is the brush would drop connection with the app even though it was still synced with the phone bluetooth. I had to resync this a few times and even had to delete the app and start all over again and resync. I gave up after a while and just stuck to brushing regularly. The other issue I had, the brush heads that accompany this are "special" meaning they will be recognized by the app and brush for certain areas to pay attention to like gum health etc. All well in good but I imagine these brush heads cost a pretty penny compared to generic heads. Great you can sense when a head needs to be changed on this brush, only if you are using the special Sonicare brand heads. In all not sure I would spend the $150 on this brush seeing there are better models out there.

Nice machine and easy to use but overly large
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I was looking for something to replace my 4 slice toaster and wanted the advantage of a toaster and oven all in one. This appliance fit the mold and also added air frying and convection in one. It is easy to use and I can make everything from a frozen pizza to heating up leftovers to air frying french fries and of course making toast. The reason for just 4 stars instead of 5, my kitchen is an average size kitchen with plenty of counter space. This appliance is huge, I mean it is overly large and takes up a good chunk of counter space on its own. It was larger than I thought it would be and stands out almost too much on a regular size kitchen counter, enough for people to comment on how big it is. I would probably think twice about this if you have a small amount of counter space as it won't fit smaller kitchens.

Nutribullet is the king of blenders! Excellent!
on September 1, 2019
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have used several types of blenders to make my smoothies and this blender and all the styles they sell blow away Ninja blenders by a mile. Not only are Nutribullets easy to use and easy to operate, they are easy to clean and do not have the complicated cracks and crevices that Ninja blenders have that require advanced scrubbing and cleaning. This combo set is excellent and actually replaces the Nutribullet balance I own nicely since this combo has a full size blender attachment as well as a smoothie cup attachment that snaps into place easily and is great. The extract feature is also nice to have since it knows the right way to blend up fruits and vegetables so you get all the health benefits without destroying the nutrients. Love this set!

Not your typical smart remote, but okay
on August 30, 2019
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
This device I am a bit on the fence due to the fact I am a Logitech Harmony guy from the start. I have been a Logitech remote customer for at least 10 years and love the ease of the one single universal remote. This device is the same concept, however it is a fancier, more futuristic version of a smart remote and is a screen only, no physical buttons which sounds like it is the way to go, however I still want some sort of buttons on my remote. The device is easy to set up, syncs with latest devices, even lights etc, no RF behind cabinet tech yet, may come but it is a cool looking device, much like an iPhone for your TV. The product design is cool, but I still am not sold on this idea of the design and it just did not feel ready for prime time yet. However, I would not give up on this idea until all kinks are worked out, it may be a great device in the future. For now Ill stick with my Harmony Elite.

5 out of 5Unbelievable picture, crisp and clear! Awesome!
By recruiter89

I just received this TV today and first off delivery was somewhat smooth with one or two bumps but nothing big. This TV is everything you hear about minus the silly speakers along the side bar edges. The 4K is something to see and with this set buying the Media Player along with it is essential since you won't have to bring a technician to upgrade your TV like the XBR65X900A. This set is already up to date and has the latest upgrades. Within 10 minutes I was up and running and turning this on it literally blew me away. The 4K and even the HD are beautiful with no sign of pixels and the 65" shows this off even more than I would imagine the 55". What I noticed is that Sony did a very good job of streamlining their applications and internet content and now has tons more similar to a Roku box. Also the menus and preferences are picture icons and are larger. They also did away with the flat stand and went to a chrome heavy duty ring which is heavier but they did do away with a feature I enjoyed which was the tilt screen and now it is totally vertical which I can live with.
The 4K content on the media player is quite impressive with all sorts of demos of how cool this set looks and they also loaded up 10 movies in 4K of all new titles and TV shows to show off how glamorous 4K looks. For this price, the picture needs to look pristine and it does and was worth every penny. I am very satisfied with this purchase. One thing, be careful ordering from Amazon when it comes to Ceva shipping, They came through in the end but the tracking was sub par and never clued me in to where this item was the entire time to delivery window. For those other reviews saying this is not worth it and not ready for prime time, just wait, Sony is not a dumb company,...remember they were the first to jump on board with Blu Ray loading it into the new PS3s. 4K is here to stay and you won't be sorry. I have owned 4 Sony TVs and not one has done me wrong. They also throw in 1 year of Hulu Plus and Netflix streaming so you can't go wrong there.

5 out of 5Big Differences between 2nd gen Nests! Great!
By recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I had just installed 2 2nd generation Nests and 3 weeks later this was released so I boxed them up and returned both to Best Buy and swapped them out for this generation version. Those of you who think there are no big differences in generations, you are dead wrong. This generation of Nest is thinner, larger more bold screen and has a Farsight setting which enhances the entire dial, noticing you from about 20 feet away looking at the thermostat. Plus it seems more intuitive and is just sleeker looking. What happened was Google bought these guys and said, lets update this product to make it look like a modern product put out by a Google company. Plus this syncs nicely with all 9 of my 2nd gen Nest Protects and is just a beautiful product. So go ahead and trade in your 2nd gen Nest Thermostat because you won't be sorry!
