When i got the Velop System, I thought I would take a while to set up and even though it claimed to work flawlessly while moving around the area, I assumed they were exaggerating a bit. Well, I was wrong.
You do need to download an app on your smartphone in order to use it. The setup and placement took 10 minutes. Once I had it connected to the internet, which was working better than ever. I went to walk out of range from 1 router to the next and my tablets internet didnt even hiccup. It was great! this is the next new thing in the way we get our internet. why wait any longer?!

Best Coffee Pot Ever
on February 19, 2017
Posted by: BMac88
from New Orleans, LA
What can't this thing do? I already have the single serve Ninja Coffee Bar but needed a multi brew for when more than a couple of cups were needed. Since I am in love with the single serve, i figured why not go with the multi brew system... just as i imagined, its better! not only does it have all the settings of from the single brew, but it adds half pot and full pot and comes with a glass carafe. the i usually stick the originals, with the help of the recipe book that came with it and the built in, i can now make any coffee drink i please. my favorite thing about the whole system is the lifetime filter! I have already recommended this to many family and friends and will continue to do so.. if you have the means and are in the market for a new coffee machine, you will not regret getting this one! Good job, Ninja!

Great, but is it worth it?

First, the fact that this was able to be downloaded, as my laptop does not have an disc drive, is a major advantage on its own.
For those familiar with Photoshop, Adobe has once again outdone themselves with Photoshop 15. Some features have been a mainstay and this version just adds to that. Added is the ability to sort photos by whos in them, and where they were taken, as well as easier ways to share with people.
The added features of video editing, while excellent, lead me to a unique crossroads... I dont have very many videos that I want to edit.. For the sake of the review, I edited a couple using the guided editing and found this to be VERY helpful. I was also able to easily remove frames and apply filters to multiple frames at once..
Besides my unique challenge, the only thing I disliked was the massively large download and the time it took to download.. This is not something for the super impatient or for someone with a computer that doesn't have a lot of memory to play with.
When reviewing a product, I ask myself if I had to buy the product again, would I buy this, or something else? I also ask myself if a friend or family member asked me to suggest a product, would i suggest this? If either has a fraction of a yes, then its a Yes. But to answer my questions for you, I personally would not buy this again as the video editing just wasnt worth it to me. I would stick to the basic, picture editing version only. But if someone had a lot of video editing to do, I would recommend this product to them.

Save time when you batch-edit photographs with Adobe Photoshop Elements 15. Sort photos automatically with the software’s enhanced smart tagging feature and find pictures via geotags or visual similarity. Specialized tools within the program let you fix frowns, remove camera shake and remove red-eye, making Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 an invaluable addition to your photography needs.

First, kudos to Adobe for making this software accessible by disc, and by digital download. Due to my laptop not having a disc drive, the digital download was the only way i could use this without buying additional items.
The most used feature is the picture sorter that separates all my pictures by who is in them, and where they were taken. and it makes it easy to share a group of pictures with the person that is in them.. There are so many tools you that help you edit a touch up a picture, and they make the picture look seamless in the process.
The bad thing? The amount of space on your computer necessary for downloading and running the software is outrageous,, but hey, to some people its nothing compared to the benefits of this software

If you have a Sonicare, these are a must

If you own a sonicare toothbrush, then you may or may not have bought these already. there is no way around it once your brush head gets old!. they are universal across the sonicare line and they are relatively easy to remove and attach. and i cant lie, i love the way my teeth feel after i brush them!

Love this groomer
on November 29, 2016
Posted by: BMac88
from New Orleans, LA
Having owned a similar one, I was very pleased to get this groomer. While i can go on and on about this, the things that stand out the most are the fact that it can be used in both wet or dry settings. The attachments are easily interchangeable or attachable and they work excellently. this also had a nose/ear hair trimmer, which i didnt realize prior to getting it. all in all, as i cant think of one bad thing to say about this item, i will say that i Highly recommend this.

Best Toothbrush Around
on November 14, 2016
Posted by: BMac88
from New Orleans, LA
Open this box was exciting. I've never owned a Toothbrush that was this complex and valueable. It can be connected to Bluetooth for goodness sakes! Though I havent used that feature yet, it apparently keeps track of your brushing habits and tells you which spots need better brushing. As far as set up and use, easy as can be expected. My mouth is on a whole new level of clean! I don't think I'll ever be able to go with a manual Toothbrush again. Excellent make, Phillips!

This Linksys dual-band router has a sleek design that integrates easily into most workspaces.

Dont get me wrong, this is a good router. It does everything it was made to do. I feel that LInksys has made better routers than this in the past, and this one will probably sit in the back of the closet until either my current router breaks, or this router becomes obsolete. However, I would recommend this for people who dont want or need all the fancy bells and whistles.

As I already had a smartphone and have stuck with the the brand since it's beginning, I knew that it would be hard for me to stay unbiased for the review. I can honestly say that, besides a few preferences, it was a very easy transition.
If you are familiar with Droids, you will have no problems working with this phone. As expected, every Google app is loaded on it. It has an assistant to help you find things within the phone and in the real world. Takes excellent pictures. I like that I can unlock the phone using a fingerprint sensor on the back and I feel like the call quality of this phone is somewhat better than my previous phone.
Now for the things that I do not like. It is smaller than what I am used to. I have bigger hands so I like bigger phones. I know that's my problem, but it's also my review. It also has a charger that is unlike any of my other devices which irritates me to no end. However, with the phone came a wall plug in brick, a USB to phone cord and a cord with the phone plug in on both sides.
Overall, this is a great phone. It has everything that I like in a cellphone and was very easy to setup and update. I would speak highly of this phone if asked about it and if asked to recommend phones, it would be included in my list. As for me, I will use my previous cellphone until ithe dies before I fully switch to this, and after my 2 year contract is over, if some things are changed on Pixel, I will have are very hard decision on which phone I am going this one get.

Great, but Intimidating
on October 4, 2016
Posted by: BMac88
from New Orleans, LA
As always, im going to give my honest review. I really like Ninja Coffee Bar, but honestly, I find that with the excitement of having it has passed, and knowing that I personally will not be using some of the features, i feel like it is too much for me (someone who drinks a daily cup of coffee and has been to a coffee shop maybe 5 times my entire life.) Being a Ninja, it is definitely top of the line, but taking it out of the box and finding it is taller than my other brewer was, looking at the brewer and trying to figure it out, and brewing a classic cup, it all gave me a little bit of anxiety. I tried out a couple of brews and the coffee was great! I also like that it can brew over ice and I can froth myself if I choose! I recommend that anyone who buys this, read over the instructions first, or you will be sitting there scratching your head trying to figure it all out. If you have various people with varying coffee preferences using this, you won't have to worry about anything or anyone if you buy this as I have yet to find cup of coffee that it can't brew and has many settings and options. If it's just you and you are happy with a simple cup of black coffee, this may not be suited for you. Either way, at the end of the day, im just telling you my opinion and you get to make the final decisions.

How is sound quality on other end when called from phone connected to this unit?
I found very little difference in call quality but the louder i set the speaker the more the quality was affected.

Can any Verizon customer order with the 2 year contract? According to Verizon, I can't on their site because I'm on the 'New Verizon plan. If yes will that cause a change in my current contract?
After almost 20 years of being with Verizon, i was forced out of my 2 year plan contract when I added a line so if I understand correctly, only customers currently on a 2year contract, as long as they do not add or change lines, are grandfathered in and can take advantage of 2year contract pricing.
