Cheap build quality, subpar cooking
on October 22, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
The first impression of this oven right out of the box was “eh”. The knobs feel like retro radio knobs, free spinning and lightweight. The door is tinny and slams shut. And the display screen is dim.
I hoped maybe the build quality would be eclipsed by solid function. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Even simple toast was unevenly cooked. Veggies and potatoes were burned on the bottom and soggy on top. The oven also took a full four minutes longer than another brand just to preheat.
The oven is quiet and the rack and pan includes are surprisingly good quality. But overall, there are much better options in this space.

Perfect concept, lacks size choices
on October 22, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I have used a smart toothbrush for the past two years. It’s bulky and requires a charger. The Quip is delightfully like a “normal” toothbrush. It feels right in my hand, and that weight, size, and shape encourages more interaction from me. My larger heavier electric model I seldom move because the leverage is off and the vibration is so much harsher. Quip instructs you to spend 4 seconds per tooth, and the form makes it easy to do that. The vibration is gentle, like a companion to your manual brushing.
I love the holder that attaches to the mirror and keeps it off the counter. One thing about the brush itself I wish was different is the head. My mouth is on the small side, and the brush is is quite large and impossible to keep covered. This toothbrush would be perfect if there were a couple different sizes of brush head.
The refill plan is simple to enroll in and the app is intuitive. It makes you want to get a “perfect score” for your brushing. $5 every three months gets you a new head and battery. So essentially a new toothbrush every 90 days for $5. I plan to purchase more of the Quips for my family.

Functional but disappointing
on October 6, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I used with my iPad Pro and it was not intuitive or easy to use. I was disappointed that it does not "just work". The tip is noisy on the glass and the writing is hard because the pen cuts out. The form is nice, with th The e one flat edge making it feel like a pencil. Weight is good and the length is right. The stylus is m magnetized so it does attach to the side of the tablet. It only charges via the included usb-c cable. The way the top slides up to reveal the charging port is well done. You'll need to remember to charge the pen since it cannot charge while docked on the tablet. 1 I would Recommend Folks purchase the stylus branded with your tablet. At this time, this is not a good choice for ease of use.

Great value for price
on September 25, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
These are five stars for features and sound at the price point. I have higher end buds that provide better separation of sound and cleaner lows, but the JLabs are the best I have tried in this middle price range. The case itself is higher end than the price. You can tell the charge of each bud from the case, and it charges wirelessly on a Qi pad. The closure is magnetic as are the slots for the buds. Everything just fits and holds as it should. JLabs also includes tips of three sizes and materials so you’re not stuck with silicone if you prefer memory foam. Read the instructions prior to use. These little buds do a lot from the touch commands on each one. The touch control is not hard to get used to because the buds are textured to help you know where you’re touching. Bluetooth connection worked well from my rear pocket to the buds in my ears. Neither drops during a walk or run. The fit I. My ears is wonderful. I like the “toothbrush” shape because it stays in my ears. The stems are short and unobtrusive, and the buds are black—a welcome change from bright white.
As for the sound, without comparing directly to a high end brand, that’s little buds are rich and have terrific bass! There is a bass boost that actually works without distortion. You can turn it off and on from the touch control on the bud. You can also turn noise cancelling and ambient sound off and on with touch controls. That feature alone puts these top of class. But the sound is impressive. I used them for music and podcasts, and am satisfied with build and sound quality, comfort, function, and they stay in my ears! Money well spent without breaking the bank.

Has all the necessities

Non-stick crock pot? Yes please! Locking lid? Check. Digital programming? Yup. Automatic keep warm? Of course. This one ticks every box. Just the convenience of the non stick stoneware and the locking lid are enough for me, but being able to set it and know it will complete cooking and keep warm till we get home is extremely convenient. Cooks chicken evenly, soup and chili are same old predictable deliciousness. There is a booklet of tips and recipes included—pay attention to the tips. I learned some things that actually work.

This Oster countertop oven features a built-in air fryer so you can make everything from healthier versions of fries and chicken nuggets to cakes and pizzas, using just one appliance. Air fry using 99.5% less oil compared to a 3.7L deep fryer. The mesh basket makes the fryer easy to use and clean, while the fryer fan ensures perfectly crispy results. The convection oven offers fast, even, efficient heating, while the roomy interior fits up to 4 slices of bread for toasting. Independent dial controls let you set temperature, cook function, and the 60-minute timer.

Toaster oven form factor is superior!
on September 18, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
This little oven does a GREAT air frying and reheating in exactly the time and temps in the instructions. I cooked hand cut fries, Brussels Sprouts, bacon, and reheated fried squash, and a steak and cheese sandwich. I did not adjust anything at all—cooked to the recommendation sheet included in the box. All turned out perfectly. I kept waiting for something to be wrong, some weakness. None. The only thing I do not love about it is the timer—it’s a dial you have to turn past 20 minutes then back to your desired time, and it ticks the whole time. Small short coming for an appliance that works so flawlessly. If you have used bin air fryers in the past—you will not again. Those come nowhere close to the even cooking a hieved with the toaster oven form factor. I fried bacon. Perfectly!! Cleaning is a breeze, put foil under the basket and throw it away after cooking. Spray out the basket. Done. For this price point, this little guy is spot on.

The Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 8-qt. 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology. The first air fryer with 2 independent baskets that let you cook 2 foods at once, not back-to-back like a traditional single-basket air fryer. With 6-in-1 versatility, you can Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat or Dehydrate in each 4-qt zone for quick family meals. XL 8-qt capacity lets you cook mains and sides at the time, and now with Smart Finish Technology you can sync the settings from each zone so both foods cook accurately and finish together.

This was my first bin-style air fryer. We have a convection toaster oven that also air fries. This Ninja has two large bins with the capability of cooking at completely different temps and times and finishing both at the same time. And it works! Provides perfectly cooked veggies in one bin and chicken in the other, reaching the finish line at the same time. Genius concept. However, the deep bins make it hard to make food uniformly crisp. I prefer the horizontal real estate of the toaster oven style. This fryer does all it claims, and that’s a big win to have dual bins. It’s easy to remove the grates and clean. If you prefer the bin fryers, this one is top quality materials, attractive on the counter, simple to operate with intuitive digital controls assigned to each zone. I recommend a few “dry runs” to off-gas the plastic smell. Then it’s good to go.

Impressive features, disappointing bass
on August 14, 2020
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
For the price, these are amazing value!! Keep in mind they are made specifically for mobile gaming. I tested with Modern Warfare. The separation of sound and the chat feature are perfect for mobile gaming. The only disappointment was the “enhanced bass”. If you already have pricier buds, these are weak on that front. However, the hardware aspect of these trumps many higher line models. For example, you can tell at a glance whether each bud is charged or charging. There are three sets of adapters made from different materials to ensure a good fit. Even the shape of the case is thoughtful. It slides easily into a pocket simply because there are no hard corners. The buds themselves are tiny and black (prevents the white toothbrush look) very comfy. I enjoy using them for MW and spoken audio. Would not use for music unless in a real pinch!

Dominate on a different scale with the Razer Huntsman Mini TKL — a 60% gaming keyboard with cutting-edge Razer Clicky Optical Switches. Highly portable and ideal for streamlined setups, it’s time to experience lightning-fast actuation in our most compact form factor yet.
Posted by: Mer4343

I have a full sized gaming keyboard from another brand. Wasn’t quite sure what to expect from use of a 60% size keyboard. This one does have a great feel with loud, very responsive keys. The keys are standard size. This is exactly the same footprint as keys only, no number pad, on a standard mechanical keyboard. Gaming with it is a joy. The lights are what you’d expect, and there is software for programming all aspects. The software is pretty bloated, but serviceable. I will use this as my go-to for gaming just for the responsiveness compared to my other one, but there’s no way I’d use this as my daily driver. So if you want to save space, and all you’ll do in that space is game, it’s perfect. But to actually replace a full size keyboard, I would reconsider.

First off, it’s a kitchenaid stand mixer—what’s not to love. Just looking at it makes you feel accomplished. But using it is a dream. This one comes with the steel bowls not glass and I find them much easier to handle, spin, and clean. There’s no threat of anything spraying out of the bowl onto your backsplash because of the perfect fit of all the pieces. Like the other models, this one can handle the funky attachments, but I just need it to make mashed potatoes for a holiday dinner, and to knead bread dough. It does both perfectly! Set it and forget it. Oh! And the stainless steel means PERFECT whipped cream in a chilled bowl!
