I am so pleased with this all in one touch screen PC by Dell. I was amazed with the build quality and lack of bulk right out of the box. It is simply plug and play. Literally. Plug in. Power on. Walk through setup. Off to the races.
I set this up for my nephew knowing the would benefit from the touch screen. Think peanut butter and juice fingers. The screen is so smooth and non glare. He has no trouble at all touching the right places or swiping easily. It’s not the old shiny fingerprint-laden screen. This thing is so accurate and smooth to use.
It’s also fairly future proof with such robust specs. Top of line processor, plenty of RAM and solid state storage. All the inputs are in a line across the bottom and of the back and all are easy to get to.
Having ONE cable—the power cable—from the ultra sleek PC is amazing. Makes a tidy work area and it’s a joy to use! I definitely recommend.

Philips One by Sonicare is an ultra-portable electric toothbrush that keeps your smile bright. Always be ready to touch up your smile, no matter where the day takes you. Designed with you in mind, Philips One is a big step up from manual brushing.

The toothbrush itself is lightweight, and feels very much like using a “normal” toothbrush. You get the slim form factor AND the sonic pulse AND it’s rechargeable!! Knowing how long to brush each section is intuitive, move to a new quadrant when you get the quick buzz buzz from the toothbrush. Charge lasts about a month for twice daily brushing. Sign up for replacement heads to arrive on a schedule as they wear out. The only thing I really do not like is the carrying case. It’s soft touch on the outside which means it picks up every piece of lint and fuzz from your bag, purse, briefcase, pocket, or wherever you store it. Kinda gross for something you use on your mouth. If they just used shiny old plastic, it would be just fine.

Although the Liberty Air 2 Pro's are the "toothbrush head" form factor, the sound makes up for the awkward feel. I was blown away by the rich treble (never tinny) and sharp bass (never muddy) these buds put out. The packaging feels premium, including the NINE different silicone adaptors. No matter what size you need, it's in there. The charging case feels premium, it slides open instead of flipping up, and there is an external LED battery indicator. And the buds themselves feel premium, they stay put and the touch controls are not finicky. I did notice there is a warning they are not waterproof and to keep them dry at all times. Something to consider if you're planning a long sweaty workout--that actually surprised me.
You'll need to download the Soundcore App to get the most out of these buds. There are three different noise cancelling modes depending on where you are using them---and it's not a gimmick, the three modes actually work. Set the right mode from the app and you'll see the difference.
One thing that worked flawlessly was the pause when the right bud is removed. You CAN listen to a single bud, but if you have both in and remove one, the track stops and picks right back up when the bud is reinserted. If you're only listening to one bud, same thing happens when you remove it--pause, and picks up when replaced. I have found this function in other sets.
The Bluetooth range is also notable. I walked outside to get the mail and left my phone on the kitchen counter at the back of the house, and these never missed a beat.
Anker products have always been impressive for the price, but these ear buds really go above expectations. I would put them against my other premium brands any day.

Not your mom’s toaster oven
on January 24, 2021
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I am a huge fan of convection toaster ovens. They can do anything from bake cookies to reheat a full dinner, to keeping for warm, to traditional toaster oven things like toasting a bagel. This one is no exception. My wife and I love making chicken parm in the GE Calrod toaster oven. It cooks all the way through and crisps up the cheese perfectly! Not dried out at all. We also made a lasagna that came out great without heating up the whole kitchen using the oven.
The price point is just right for the build and features. The display is bright and easy to read, set, and use overall. You are not limited to only using convection on the “convection” setting. There’s a handy button to toggle it on an off as desired. Not everything should use it. Cookies are a prime example. If the recipe doesn’t call for convection, pay close attention to it if you flip it on because it will cook things differently!
I have such little use for a microwave with this appliance on the counter. I’ll never reheat leftovers in a microwave again. Seriously.
Speaking of sitting on the counter—GE has made a slick, simple design. It’s unobtrusive and sleek stainless steel. Even with the requisite distance from the wall, it takes up fairly little space and looks great.
The drip tray makes cleaning up a breeze too. Even if something gets on one of the two element rods at the bottoms, just wipe clean. Highly recommend!!

Sounds great, waterproof!
on December 27, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
This is not a speaker you’ll throw in your bag. It’s substantial—weighs 7lbs—but it’s easy to carry with the built in handle and the battery life is amazing! Our main will be by the pool this summer, but we used it at the fire pit over the holidays, and the sound is great. The larger size of the speaker allows delivery of rich bass and loudness. No stereo separation, but good enough and substantial enough to warrant a purchase in this price range. It’s kettle ball, with handle. The lights are bright and automatically sync with the music you play. Download the app to tweak those settings. More than one device can be connected via blue tooth, which is great for having doubled the music to choose from. Connection is easy Bluetooth, and you can charge devices with the speaker. The speaker itself will go for two parties at least without a need to charge. One of the biggest draws is that it is waterproof to include submersion! Not just splash proof, you can drop it in the pool and rescue it without worry it will be ruined!

Best carpet spot cleaner!!!
on December 15, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
We have the regular PetEraser handheld for getting hair off furniture, and this new StainEraser is much the same. It WORKS! Easy setup. No water needed, just the included solution. Make sure the unit is charged, Pour solution in the top as instructed. Spray the spot, and clean. It's lightweight, easy to handle. You see the dirt and solution coming up through the nozzle just like a big carpet cleaning machine shows. Cleanup is a matter of opening the bottom container and emptying the dirty solution. Rinse out the container and snap it back in! No need to touch any dirty water.
The first thing i used it on was actually a beer spill. Sucked everything right up. Dried quickly, and NO ODOR left after. I knew for sure the living room would smell like a frat house the next day, but nothing. I have since used it on a salad dressing spill, and a pet accident. Both cleaned right up, and no remnants or odor left the next day.
The charge holds really well too. I have yet to see it drop below 3/4. I did forget to plug it in and grabbed it thinking it would surely have died in the week between uses, but it was still fully charged and cleaned like a champ.
HIGHLY recommend to anyone who has pets, kids, or clutzy tendencies.

Easy to read, works with digital assistant
on November 16, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
Installation is simple if you read and follow the instructions carefully. Be sure to take the before picture of your wiring and you’re good to go. As soon as you flip the power back on, the unit scans your setup and walks you through steps to bring it online. It takes several minutes to upgrade the firmware once connected to your Network.
The app is okay, prettier than it is functional. They could have made scheduling a lot easier, and changing the temp would be easier with simple up down arrows than the pseudo dial in the app.
The thermostat itself is simple enough—large buttons, even larger print. No need to grab your readers to see when adjusting manually. You can read it across the room. One thing I dislike is the big side graphic and logo. Very gaudy and unnecessary.
There is no mention of how to pair it with your digital assistant. I assume most folks will know how to do that with there assistant of choice, just as they pair it to other devices. Once installed and paired, it’s simple to adjust the settings from anywhere through the app or by command.

I eagerly await version 2
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
Samsung got a lot right with this little gadget, but it has a ways to go before I toss out my bucket. Firstly, this is not a set it and forget it robot. It requires a remote control with several mode selections to get a job fully done. Second, you’re going to have to go behind it and wipe down the space between the cabinets and baseboards in the kitchen because the robot is too tall to go under them. Third, and maybe most frustrating, it will get your rugs wet because the sensors just aren’t quite sophisticated enough.
What is does very well though is CLEAN. If you have large swathes of hard floors, it actually scrubs. That’s one thing I have not see other brands be able to achieve. So somewhere between the perfect form factor if other brands and the scrubbing functionality of the Jetbot Mop, there is still a dream robot mop waiting to be made.
I would pass on this one for now because I have a feeling Samsung will take the user experiences back to the lab and get a lot more right on their second attempt.
I’m not convinced this one is much less effort than a mop and bucket. Keep in mind, you’ll still need to launder the pads, you’ll have to wash the pads in water and fill the tiny wells up with water after 50 minutes, and you’re not using soap, steam, or disinfectant anywhere.

The AU-Stream Hybrid is a premium headphone engineered to create a powerful sound that exceeds expectations in a true wireless earbud. The AU-Stream Hybrid reduces the ambient noise in your surroundings and, like all of Ausounds' Soundproof noise-cancelling earbuds, this earbud still provides the most detailed and accurate sound, even when ANC is employed

Most comfortable by far!
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
Wireless earbuds are essential to everyone today. I have tried several premium models and these Ausounds are by far the most comfortable I have ever used! Comfort is half the battle with this product space. These are shaped differently than what I have seen in the past. They are literally cradled by your ear. You’ll understand when you install them. And they stay put! Sweat is no obstacle. There are only three sizes of nib, and all are silicone, but I had no need for any more than that. The controls are blessedly simple. I have had buds that had different functions right and left. Tapping the right side did one thing, tapping the left, something different. It was like a test to recall which side did what. These both have the exact same functions on both sides! Lefties rejoice, you have just as much power to answer a call, skip a track, turn on noise cancellation, or activate a voice assistant as your right handed buddies!
The case shows the level of charge for the buds on the outside. It will charge via usb-c or wirelessly on a charging pad. Mine were at one bar out of the box. They went to full charge within 20 minutes. That means the case and the buds are fully charged. The buds charge in the case three times before you’ll need to plug it back in. I found the case to be a little less premium than other brands, but it works great, and it’s definitely sturdy. Pairing is a breeze, and the instructions tell you how to unpair as well—something I have had to search for on others. The quick start guide gets you paired and listening, but it does not include all the functions. Be sure to refer tot the actual instructions to get the best functions, especially automatic noise canceling.
The sound is fantastic! Excellent separation, and I heard details in songs I have never heard before. One in particular, I could hear the damper pedal on the piano, and the key press. That was WITH noise canceling ON! The bass is rich and not manufactured. There is no need for a special mode to get the true sound through these. I did try the different modes of my phone EQ and all sounded distinct and as intended. But I prefer the pure unfiltered. I HIGHLY recommend Ausounds Stream Hybrid ear buds.

A smarter way to see who's at your door. Get notifications when motion is detected and view live video on your phone. Get the bigger picture of what's at your door, from head to toe or a package on the ground. Even see clearly in low light with night vision. Speak to visitors with two-way audio, or use pre-recorded quick reply messages when you're busy. Plus, receive personalized notifications when your Video Doorbell spots people, vehicles, animals or packages, and store recorded video clips with the included trial of Arlo Secure¹. Arlo Video Doorbell uses your existing doorbell wiring for continuous power.

Easy to install, easy to use

I have Arlo cameras already and use the Arlo app every day. We use one camera inside, one outside, and now the new doorbell. I can monitor all from one spot. Note this is a WIRED doorbell. Follow the simple instructions carefully and make sure your wiring is done correctly. It takes about 20 minutes to install. It works just like other high quality smart doorbell brands, but in my experience Arlo has better picture quality and the night vision is spot on. Motion detector, alerts, notifications, and face recognition is easy to configured. This I highly recommend this and the Arlo family of products for high quality smart camera capabilities.
