I have always problems with tense knots on my shoulders. The last time I braved myself to see a Chiropractor, he used a similar device on my shoulders.
I'm certainly a novice. After my initial self treatment using Hypervolt, I felt sore but no more tense. By the next day, soreness is gone, and I feel great. It's well designed and ergonomics. I have short arms and I have no problem reaching my back!
I went with the Pro version and given that I'm 5'3, it was way too overkill. Even at the lowest setting, it's plenty for me!

I was skeptical at first, especially looking at how much it is. But this toothbrush truly takes cleaning to the new level.
The head movement enables individual tooth focus cleaning. If you're like me and you dislike cluttering your phone with useless apps, I can vouch that the app is certainly worth downloading. You're missing out if you don't download the app.
Aesthetic is very nice. I'm not sure how I feel about the charger. On one hand, it's nice that it doesn't have the bump like other electrical toothbrush chargers, but I don't feel as secured without the bump holding the toothbrush.
If you're wondering should you get this toothbrush, make the plunge and your teeth will thank you!

This printer is replacing my aging HP PhotoSmart 7520. It was hands down the best printer ever made. HP Envy Pro 6455 is a good solid printer for everyday printing and a piece of technology that doesn't have to look like a sore thumb in the study room.

I got this chromebook for my eldery mom who uses computer to browse news and watch youtube. She loves the fact she can uses the touchscreen and not rely on mouse, but still has the full keyboard to type what she's looking for.
It boots up super quick and it has everything that she needs, including very cool case! Battery life is very good, she only needs to charge at the end of the day and great sound quality for her drama show on youtube!

This is our second robotic vacuum. Our first one is Shark - Ion Robot 750.
Pros:
- Front side is flat instead of all rounded. This is extremely clever design for edges and corner.

- It comes with a remote control for better control
- Attractive design
- Covers area more effectively with the cameras and sensors
- Fast charging

High Performance Phone suitable for Business & Fun
on May 7, 2018
Posted by: bzma2
from San Diego, CA, USA
I am an avid Android user and my phone prior to this is Google Pixel. The first thing I noticed when I switched to the Sony Xperia XZ2 is the weight. It is quite noticeably heavier than the Google Pixel.
Pros:
+ Screen although it's not HDR or AMOLED, it is very vivid and color is brilliant with Triluminos display technology like in Sony TV. Upscaling to 4K yields very nice viewing of Netflix and YouTube.
+ Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 is fast! I ran Outlook for my Corporate email, Skype Business without a hiccup.
+ Sony Xperia Assistant: Having been a long time Pixel/Nexus user, I am not a big fan of bloatware. But this app actually reminded me that I turned off my regular morning alarm and if I'd like to turn it back on! Impressive.
+/- Camera: daylight, outdoor, indoor takes very nice pictures. But lowlight, Google Pixel is still the king! Same goes for Video, Google Pixel is still much better.
+ Speaker: This one hands down is a stronger point than Google Pixel. Pixel sound quality is rather weak.
+ Battery Life: I can run all day without charging.

Overall, I like the built quality. It's fast! Some items are rather gimmicky, such as Vibrate sound effect, Dual SIM (T-Mobile offers free data international roaming, I almost never have the need for additional SIM).
I was able to find case online and they fit great. It's however a challenge to find a tempered screen protector that can fit the screen perfectly due to screen design but this applies to 80% new phone today.

Cool bulb but a big taller than standard

I was initially having trouble connecting this to Wi-Fi but once it's set, it's very cool. Unfortunately, I have to take a star because I found this bulb is a bit taller than standard bulb. Also, it is quite pricey.

Good value for features & performance

Although not exactly the cheapest for the size and feature, this TV offers good value for the features and performance.
+ Price for size & features (4K, Smart)
+ Easy Set Up for Wi-Fi, etc.
+ I love the dedicated Netflix, Amazon, YouTube buttons on the actual remote!!! How cool is that! (But no Hulu?? Luckily I don't use it anymore or I would've taken a point off)
+ Test quality with actual 4K videos on YouTube is excellent!

- No HDR, but it's to be expected for this price level
- App loading is a little slower
- Sound quality is sub par, but then again, most people expect to pair LED TV with Soundbar anyway

Knight in Shining Armor
on January 3, 2018
Posted by: bzma2
from San Diego, CA, USA
I'm an avid electronics enthusiast. I didn't think it was possible to get excited about countertop oven toaster, let alone fall in love with it. But once, I set the DeLonghi Livenza Oven on my countertop, I was so smitten like a high school teen all over again. Look at the picture I posted, it's so shiny like my knight in shining armor. I am replacing our 10+ year old Black & Decker toaster oven.
Pros:
+ Easy to set up. I did have to look up how to set up the time, but that was it.
+ All buttons, functions are very intuitive to use, no need to read instructions.
+ Since it's digital, good bye annoying ticking toaster timer!!!
+ Spacious! I can bake casserole in it and it came out perfect!
+ Pre-Heat is fast
+ Includes pizza tray
+ Sturdy, well-built and just simply gorgeous!

I honestly can't find much thing to take points off. If I have to choose any, probably price point but then again for the features and built quality, it totally justifies it!

It doesn't actually cover the entire screen. It seems more like overstock from the HTC M7 that they put in a new box and disregarded the fact it doesn't cover the whole screen. And at $40, it should cover the whole thing.

Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5Great enthusiast laptop
By samv412
As a Best Buy Employee myself (Store 0408, Ann Arbor MI. Come say hello!), I found that selling myself on a laptop was a hard task. I did a lot of independent research and settled on the 512GB (QHD) model of the HP Spectre x360.
So far I am seriously enjoying the laptop. I've never had a 2 in 1 laptop as well, so I find the touch functionality to be extraordinarily helpful in classes.
PROS:
* High Power: With the i7-5500U, this thing packs a pretty serious punch in terms of computing power. Handles any task I would throw at it with ease
* Amazing Display: QHD is amazing. Nothing more to say
* Very solid build quality: The Spectre is just built nice. It's hard to really describe it any other way. The laptop feels solid and performs solid.
---
Cons:
* Touchpad has been a bit finicky: I can't really say if this is a bug or a feature, but the touchpad on the spectre "sticks" a bit after two finger scrolling. Moving up or down a page with two fingers, then moving left/right on the page with one finger results in the touchpad still thinking you are scrolling up or down for a few moments. Again, this might just be my product, but I find it annoying (but something I am getting quickly used to)
* Charger feels a bit loose: HPs universal charger design is a blessing and a curse. Due to this, the charger just has a bit extra breathing room in its port, and isn't exactly a snug fit.
---
Overall, I would definitely recommend this laptop.

By jkreview2016
I was torn between this laptop and the Dell XPS. Both look sleek and hopefully they will be raising the bar on future laptop designs. I find most laptops today to be plain ugly. I purchased this because the specs gave me an i7 chip and touch screen for less money than the Dell XPS. After purchasing the product though I noticed the following: One - I started getting a Driver error almost immediately. Two - I don't really use the touch screen, and the tablet functionality. Three - the design is beautiful, however I did not like how the laptop backlight button had to remain on when the keyboard light was off. Also the outside seems fragile and prone to scratches if you are careless.
Long story short.. I returned the laptop because of the driver error, but I did not get a new one. I am back to deciding whether to get the Dell (price still high), another Spectre, or even a Mac Air.

This is HP and my 3rd Spectre X360. The 1st version had 5th gen processor and did not have Bang & Olufsen audio and no M2 SSD, and I had tons of issues with my audio quality crackling and graphics card crashing despite updating to the latest driver. The 2nd version had 6th gen processor and although the body style was exactly the same, there were significant improvements. The 2nd version came with Bang & Olufsen audio software and M2 SSD. I was really happy with the laptop.
Now, this version tops it all. It has 7th generation processor. Although it has the same architecture as 6th generation, the battery receives 15% bump in capacity. Also, the new placement for speakers makes much more sense and provides better output as well. The design is similar to the 2nd version but is thinner but still feel very solid not fragile. I also had Lenovo Yoga Pro 3, and that laptop was very thin but felt fragile.

HP has definitely stepped it up. Spectre X360 has solid performance with premium design. I love how HP packaged this laptop as well. It’s elegance and the free included sleeve has improved as well. Instead of the neoprene sleeve like the 1st and 2nd version, this one comes with free synthetic leather sleeve.
The only thing that I wish will be changed in the future, is bloatware. Those of you that are savvy enough, can easily do clean install of Windows 10. I did this with my 2nd HP Spectre X360 and I was very happy afterwards. If you’re interested in how to do this, you can do it at your own risk by do a google search of windows 10 clean install.

Hey. I'm very interested in this laptop. I read some reviews of the x360 here at BeatBuy. Don't know how you guys got it already, but will in the "consumer version" also be this leather case included?
The Tech insider Network reviewers received the products for reviews puposes, so most of the times we receive the products prior to launch. To answer your question, yes, cosumer version will also receive the case as it has been the case for the previous generations of Spectre X360.

Protect the display of your HTC One (M9) cell phone with this ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass HO9GLC-F00 screen protector, which features a scratch-resistant design to ensure durability and reliable defense.
Is this glass "Case Friendly" or "Full Glass"
I ordered one of these from Best Buy for my phone. I received a "case friendly" glass. Not knowing what that meant I applied it. As you can see by the photos, the ZAGG glass has over a 2 mm gap on each side. I think there is a Zagg "full face" glass also available for the HTC One M9 which covers the glass fully. I'm not seeing a descriptive as to which one this is. I prefer the "full glass" Please explain.
Get the one for M8 and it will be full face. I made a mistake of buying the one for M9 and it didn't cover the whole screen.
