Great Vacuum
on February 8, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
This Shark vacuum is great! Very easy to use, picks up a lot of dirt. I really like the design, and it looks sharp if you leave it out. Works great on both hard and carpet flooring. Yes, I would buy again.

Super Simple to Set Up
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
I have to say, I had my doubts when the box said that all I had to do was download the Linksys App to set up this product. I had previous set up another system that took me hours to set up and involved Tech Support. This new system couldn't be THAT easy.
I'm here to tell you - it WAS just that easy. When you open the app, you get an option to set up new equipment. It defaulted to the Velop system, and I followed the steps from there. I originally set up the first node in my office, connected to my AT&T router. It worked perfectly. I later set up a node upstairs and I could easily add it, even though I had exited the setup program after setting up the first node. No issues at all. The third I will eventually put in our basement.
The app is very intuitive and simple. It's certainly worth the price paid for the peace of mind of setup alone.
The only negative, if you consider it that, is that there felt like an over abundance of packaging material. The box is beautiful and super easy to open, which I liked, but then every thing else was wrapped in layers of protective paper-like covering. It seemed a bit unnecessary to me.
Overall, I feel this is a great product.

Nice Watch
on December 24, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
I like the look and functionality of smart watches, but they are cost prohibitive for what they are. I did have an Apple Watch (Gen 1) for a time, but ended up selling it because I wasn't happy with it. This watch is, to me, what the Apple Watch COULD have been - but isn't.
The watch is reasonably priced, which I appreciated. It works great with the iPhone 6, though shortly after I bought it I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy Edge 7. It paired easily with both phones and it has great graphics. I have larger wrists so I appreciated the leather strap being accommodating for that.
The one complaint that I have is the size. For the features I wanted (leather strap, speaker), I had to go with the 1.63 version. It looks more masculine than I'd like, but I'm hoping that if I change out the strap for something more feminine later on it will help that.
I would recommend getting a screen protector for it, though, especially to keep its sleek look.

Many of these accidents could have been completely avoided just by wearing simple high visibility accessories, such as a pair Insignia Running Lights. Insignia 2-Pack Running Light were designed for getting the attention of motorists at a safe distance. It offers the perfect amount of light to keep you seen anywhere.

I purchased these for my daughter to wear so that I could see her from the house better while she was waiting for the school bus. They work great, even in the dark (she catches the bus before 7:00 AM).

Normally, I love Speck cases. I have them for my iPhone 6 and they work - and look - great. I just changed from the iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge. I grabbed this case because there wasn't any Speck cases with designs in the store.
I found out that there are very limited options for the Edge phones (what, girls don't like tech?) and was disappointed to find that Speck, nor anyone else, makes Edge cases with designs similar to what Speck makes for the Galaxy 7 (or any other model phone).
I thought that I would then get a skin for the phone to dress up the case. That plan changed, though, as I used the phone in the case. I had a hard time hanging on to the phone as the case is very slick and hard to hold on to. It also added weight to the phone, adding to my issues with holding and using the phone with one hand.
The quality of the case is good, but it could be a better design.

What a zippy little laptop!
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
I was looking for a new computer since my husband's HP (budget) gaming laptop is on it's last legs. I'm giving him my old computer (HP Envy M7-K111DX), so I was looking for a similarly equipped machine for myself.
I've been loyal to HP products for over 20 years. I've tried a couple other brands along the way (Acer, Asus) and always went back to HP. As such, my first thought was to get another HP machine, but I also had a price point in mind. An HP laptop with similar (but updated) specs to mine (dedicated NVIDIA graphics card, full HD screen, 4th gen Intel i7 processor) were just beyond what I was willing to spend. As I was shopping around the web, I saw that my local Best Buy had a deal on an Open-Box Samsung Spin in Excellent Condition. After reading some online reviews, I headed over to the store to take a look at the floor model.
The first thing I noticed was how sleek it looked. It being a 2-in-1 is a nice feature, but it wasn't an overriding factor in my list of wants. I need robust equipment under the hood, and the best bang for my buck. I feel like I'm upgrading every 2-3 years. I'm a heavy user - I like a few different browsers open with several tabs simultaneously. I watch videos and movies, both streaming and downloaded content, and I take (and store) lots of pictures. The salesperson at the store said this was built to last the user through 5 years. That helped me make the decision to buy.
The Open Box unit was missing a manual (easily obtained online) and had a few scratches on the underside of the case. The computer fired right up and I had no problems with set up.
One of the best things I noticed was that there was NO bloatware. That's a fantastic feature. The screen looked great. I have no issues with the resolution or graphics. It's a zippy little machine. I can surf and watch videos with almost no drag. It's very quiet while running - as I'm typing this I'm listening to my HP making all kinds of "running noises" and all it's doing is showing a static web page.
I have a while to test drive this computer, but so far so good. I'm much happier with this machine than I was when I first brought my HP Envy home.

Get this brush
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
This was the first electric toothbrush I've used. I've used the traditional toothbrush for many years, probably long past I should have. I do have periodontal disease and I don't brush my teeth nearly as well as I should. This motivated me to finally try an electric brush.
The brush is packed very nicely, and is easy to set up. The Bluetooth feature is nice, but I don't know that it's necessary. The app is only available on iPhones, and even though I could download it to my iPad, the resolution was poor. I didn't use that feature.
The vibration of the brush is something that you'll need to get used to, if this is your first Sonicare. You'll need to learn how to get the toothpaste on to your brush and get it on your teeth before the brush vibrates it off. I had a couple of mishaps with that.
The brush is FANTASTIC at cleaning your teeth. I used the "clean" function, and my teeth felt great after the first use. With the old brush, I would still feel like there was a film on my teeth. In between cleanings, I would certainly feel like I was due for one. With the Sonicare, my teeth feel like I just visited the dentist.
I won't be going back to a manual brush after using the Sonicare.

Nice Dryer
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
I have short, fine, wavy hair, and not a lot of patience for hair drying. Typically, I let my hair air dry overnight, since I don't like to take the time to dry my hair. I was intrigued by the look of this dryer, though, and wanted to try it. Dyson is fairly innovative, and I wanted to see what they brought to hair dryers.
The first thing I noticed is how nicely the unit is packaging. It's almost TOO nice, but I guess for the price it should be really appealing. Instead of all the little baggies and ties that you get with most products, the unit was laid out neatly in a liner within a box with a lid. You could theoretically store your product in the box. There were WAY too many plastic coverings on the all the finished parts, though. That was annoying to peel all of those sticky films off before use.
The unit comes with a rubber mat (to lay the dryer on), a hanging loop (which I could not figure out where to attach to the dryer), a diffuser, two other attachments, and the instructions.
The dryer is really beautiful. I love the pink color, and the LED lights. Very high tech. I was surprised how loud it was, though. It was quieter than my old dryer, but I was assuming that, after looking at all the tech that went into it, it would be quiet. I was disappointed in that.
As far as use, I tried the diffuser first. I know that's best for curly hair, but I didn't have the patience for it. After a couple of minutes of no progress, I took it off and was hit with a strong wind. I had the unit on low but it still had a great blast of air. My hair was dry within a couple of minutes. I use a Paul Mitchell product to add volume to my hair, and this dryer worked well with it. My hair was quite full looking.
If you are in the market for a new dryer, and you love innovative products, I would consider the Dyson.

Great Gadget

This is a great little trimmer. This unit comes with several attachments along with a leather case to keep them all in. I charged it for a day before using, and a week later, it still holds a charge.
You have two speeds - regular, and you have a Turbo button for those stubborn hairs. This is primarily used with the body shaver. While this feature is nice in theory, I didn't feel there was a lot of difference in effectiveness. The shaver performed like a typical electric shaver of this type, as in I didn't think it cut very close, My husband said it was fine, but his normal 5-blade, non-powered razor still does a better job. I did try the body shaver on my own, fine, arm hair, and it did an OK job with that.
The precision trimmer and the nose trimmer work great. I used the precision trimmer to clean up the hairs on my husband's neck, and the nose trimmer to tame his eyebrows.

So Disappointed
on October 26, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
I was really excited to get this Shark vacuum. I have a Dyson vacuum and it was NOT worth the purchase price. I had high hopes for the Shark, based on reputation.
The blue color was gorgeous, and I loved the appliance wand that came with it. I thought that was a really neat idea.
I found that the vacuum, during the first use, was quite awkward. All the weight is managed in one hand, rather than being evenly distributed. Because the weight is in the upper part of the unit, the vacuum does NOT STAND UP BY ITSELF. I put the emphasis on this because it's so unusual for a vacuum. You have to find something to lean it against JUST SO, or plan on laying it down on the floor.
The wand worked great - picked up a lot of stuff from under the stove. My refrigerator did not have enough clearance for it to go underneath.
I was able to use the unit twice. Then it stopped picking up. I went to the troubleshooting online, found out that I had to check for clogs. I had to take it all apart and use a curtain rod to push out the clog (a mix of hair, bits of paper, and lint). I put it back together and...it still would not pick up consistently. It would pick up a bit, then spit it back out on to the carpet. I had to get out the Dyson and try to clean up the mess the Shark made.
Based on this experience, I would not purchase another Shark product. I also am still looking for a quality vacuum.
