Embellish your device with a functional attachment by using this black Speck GrabTab phone accessory. It’s compatible with most brands and cases, and the card-sized, flat design slips smoothly into your pocket. Use the hanging loop on this Speck GrabTab phone accessory as a grip for a secure hold or as a kickstand for hands-free viewing.

This would be a perfect solution for a person who doesn’t like the pop out circle design of the popular solution. It is sleek and business looking, no playfulness here. It works nicely as a stand, and the loop is secure—no drops possible.

The main thing missing on this gaming mouse is silent click. It’s well made, good size and heft. Macros for the buttons are easy to set. Accuracy is spot on, and the battery lasts through many hours of gaming. But I would prefer a mouse with a silent click feature. Many less expensive models include that, so I can’t recommend spending the extra on this noisy one.

We have a lot of instances needing to cook for one. This little gem cooks perfect cookies, hoagies, pizzas, and more perfectly. It also allows for a couple evenly baked chicken breasts or salmon fillets without heating up the whole kitchen. Highly recommend.

I have used PS for years, and it never disappoints. It’s getting better with each iteration Adobe provides even more options for experts while making basic edits and touch ups even easier for novices. There are easy instant filters and curve application that will make amateur photos look stunning. And experts have plenty of options to manipulate raw data. Recommended as usual.

Velop is a flexible Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi system of modular nodes that work together to provide a flawless signal for any home. Now with new plug-in nodes that fit all wall sockets, you'll be assured coverage in traditionally underused areas, and the sleek design only uses a single outlet. Velop works with any Internet Service Provider (ISP), making customization simple, and with Tri-Band performance and Intelligent Mesh™ technology, you'll always be on the fast path to the Internet.

I'm a fan of the Velop Mesh system. We had the original with a hub and two access points. Those could be placed anywhere and had a power cable to plug into a source. They are sitting on bookshelves and mantles in various spots providing a great wifi experience throughout the house. The new system comes with one hub that is identical to the last version, but the AP's have the plug builtin--meaning the unit affixes to wherever the power outlet is. It looks nice and inobtrusive, but it is not the most convenient configuration. Signal is super strong, but there is no option to really move the AP to a better location unless you move it another affixed plug. Our receptacles are behind and under furniture--not very AP friendly. I would stick to the old form factor for flexbility, but if you have a couple out in the open wall outlets free, this system will give you maximum throughput all over (and outside) your home.

Another useful kitchen gadget

I like slow cooker recipes, and this little guy cooks them in a quarter of the time. If you are one who just does not quite trust leaving an appliance with a heat element on all day, this is a perfect match for you. It’s also really easy to clean compared to a slow cooker. The surface is non stick and easy to left out for cleaning. No bag liners necessary. It will break down chicken breasts and pork tenderloin in about the time it takes to come home, walk the dogs, and settle down for the evening! Flavors are the same as you’d expect, which is to say yummy!! This is NOT a true pressure cooker you can use for canning. It’s a crock pot on speed that is easy to clean!

Ink tech is cool — reliable printer
on October 22, 2018
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I’m a fan of Brother printers in general, but I have not tried one with the year long ink system. It’s such a common sense way to supply ink, and I think I’ll stick with it. The general set up of the printer was a bit advanced as far as setting up scan folders and getting it on my network. I would have to do it for my parents were they to purchase one, but with a bit of patience, it’s up and running! Printing is high quality as expected and it’s fast. The only true con I found was the paper tray. It will only accommodate 150 sheets. That leaves a lot of your opened team of paper sitting outside the tray. Seems silly Brother made the tray small. Overall, solid buy. Ink vestment is smart!

Easy and fun, but beware

Charge it. Download the app. Fly. It doesn’t get any easier! Photos are gorgeous, and flying is just plain fun. Until you realize there is nowhere legal to fly a drone in or around your city. This is an expensive and well made toy. It’s durable (ran right into a tree trunk and came away unscathed). It includes extra propellers and a very handy carrying case. Controller uses your phone to make flying and video a cinch. But again—there’s nowhere to fly! Do your research prior to purchasing and make sure you have somewhere to actually have all the fun the Parot is capable of. We are planning some little day trips out of state to get the most out of this device. It’s a super nice and fun contraption.

I didn’t want a complicated smart whole home system. I just wanted lightbulbs that would dim and turn off or on from my phone. This system works perfectly with a pleasant tone of light emitted. I only installed the bulbs in three rooms, so I didn’t run into the issues that some have seen with not having enough areas in the app. I would recommend this simple little system for novices who just want smart lights!

More trouble than its worth
on July 11, 2018
Posted by: Mer4343

Very well constructed. That’s about all the good I can say. This is one of those items you scan for your registry because it looks like a fun idea. It’s not. It is cumbersome, dangerous, and not at all convenient. It takes 30 minutes to heat up, five minutes to cook a pizza, and 90 minutes to cool enough to clean or move. That’s two hours any way you look at it. We actually had to carry ours outside due to the excessive smoke from a drip on the stone. I made a second pizza and baked it in the conventional gas oven. Ten minutes to preheat, 14 minutes to cook, no clean up.

There's just something about opening a bottle of wine. The ceremonial quality of removing the cork truly indicates it's time to unwind. Whether relaxing solo after a long day at the office or hosting an intimate dinner soirée or holiday party, the Oster® Silver Electric Wine Opener makes it easy to start the evening off in sophisticated style.
Will the Oster open plastic corks easily?
Our old Oster will NOTopen plastic corks easily. We need a replacement opener what are our options?
I have this model, and it opened a plastic cork with no trouble at all just last night. Just be sure to use the included foil cutter first, and you're good to go!
