This is a great concept & I was happy to try it out because I get so irritated from shaving in my armpits. This can be used wet or dry & it’s unclear if shaving cream can be used with it. I used it dry with the skin protect blade on & my skin got very irritated & red in one spot, like I cut myself, I thought this was suppose to prevent that. The closeness was ok but not as close as I can get with a real blade. I decided to do a little ladyscaping & used the body comb attachment, that did a pretty good job taking it down to 1/8”. I was just using a small trimmer with attachment & I feel this does about the same as that with maybe slightly less irritation. The blade goes in either direction when guard is not on & you can do edging. Men or women can use it with some precautions. It’s very lightweight & only a little thicker than disposable or refillable razors. It is rechargeable & comes with its own usb cord. It’s also waterproof & the blades are suppose to last 4 months, replacement blades are a bit pricey , 2 blades cost the same as the razor itself. I don’t have to shave often so next time I’m going to try it wet & see if it’s less irritating.

Meet the MVP of TVs! The award-winning U8 Series Mini-LED smart display from Hisense just got even better. This model is packed with lots of exciting features that dramatically improve the color, contrast and detail of every picture. Think: double the local dimming zones of our previous version, Up to Peak Brightness 3000, QLED Quantum Dot color technology, Dolby Vision HDR and Anti-Glare Low Reflection technology. Bring the sounds of the cinema directly to your living room with Dolby Atmos and a 50W 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system. We even equipped the U8 with a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner and Wi-Fi 6E router compatibility, making it virtually future-proof. Plus, level up your gaming with 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro.

We have the older U8G tv & I wasn’t impressed with that one so I was a bit skeptical to get another one. I’m glad I did, there’s a huge improvement. We have an antenna & the stations all look good, there are doubles of some stations that say nextgentv & those look amazing with bright, clear picture. Blu ray & ultra blu rays also look amazing. DVD’s look good. We subscribe to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime video & Apple TV & some of those aren’t 4K but still look good.
Setup was very easy, hardest part was logging back into the apps. The stand is very heavy but is in the center of the tv which is nice because it doesn’t hang over the sides of the smaller entertainment center we have it on. I can’t comment on gaming because we’re not gamers.
The remote is improved also with longer backlighting time, direct buttons for Netflix, Disney,prime & tubi, I can’t get the voice command to work just yet & Hulu is missing from the detect buttons which I find odd since it’s a common one. I also wish the remote had numbers to select for channels instead of just up & down.
The built in speakers are good, they’re loud, I prefer a little crisper sound though.
This works with Alexa & has plenty of ports with 4 HDMI, 2 USB, 1 serial, headphone, AV in, LAN & digital audio out.
Our older model was pone to constant screen freezing & loss of sound which was only resolved by unplugging it, hopefully this model is better with that. Hasn’t done it so far.
So far really liking the upgrade, only reason for 4 stars is the remote & speakers.

Ring’s best battery-powered doorbell camera, loaded with cutting-edge features. Battery Doorbell Pro delivers Head-to-Toe HD+ Video, super-precise 3D Motion Detection with Bird's Eye View that shows you where visitors went on an overhead map of your property, and more.
Posted by: 30stmrox
I really want to like this doorbell but so far I’m not super impressed. I’m a new Ring customer so I had to set up an account, that took longer than setting up the doorbell. Once in the app, the doorbell itself setup up super fast. This says battery doorbell but we hardwired it so it’d ring on our home chime. When hardwired its provides a trickle charge to the battery.
This has so many features & settings, I’m still learning some of them, you can customize your tones, get neighbor alerts , two way microphone & the video is clear & the range can be set which is also fairly decent. You can switch from a birds eye view which shows an aerial view of our whole house or just doorbell view & it is a head to toe image. History & events are stored but you definitely need a subscription for all these services or it’s basically just a doorbell. Subscription is free for 30 days if you’re a new customer.
I have yet to have it detect a package no matter how sensitive I make the settings. Sometimes it records all motion & other times you can walk by it multiple times & nothing. I called support to figure out what’s going on & after an hour still couldn’t figure it out. I’m waiting to hear from a higher support team to see if it’s defective.
The doorbell is fairly large & honestly for the price, I don’t think it’s worth it. I have another doorbell that works just as well, without all the bells & whistles & was a fraction of the price. I’ll give it 4 stars because of some of the features & quality but hopefully there’s firmware updates or mine is really defective..

Powerful little fan with lots of features
on February 16, 2024
Posted by: 30stmrox
This is a solid, powerful fan that’s rather small & has lots of nice features. I tested this in Pennsylvania in February so it’s hard to comment completely on some of the features because it’s a bit cold for fan use. Set up was quick, everything snaps into each other. The fan has fold out legs for table top use & when using the pedestal everything went together quickly, the legs fold & fit into the pedestal stand. Fan stands about 3’ high with the pedestal. The lowest speed isn’t really powerful but there’s 5 speeds + boost mode which really blows air. The fan also oscillates in 3 angles, 45, 90 & 180 degrees. The fan itself is small & has a carrying handle on the back & a space to store the remote magnetically.
It’s not super heavy & I’m a small person & can carry it. Runs very quiet, you can barely hear it running. You can use it plugged into power all the time or charge it & use it cordless. Battery life is displayed on the front & mine came with 99-51% battery power but took a few hours to charge to full capacity. Fan speed is also displayed on front. There is a misting attachment that hooks to a garden hose, I can’t wait to try this when it’s 100 degrees out but I haven’t tried it yet since it’s 20 degrees out. Easy set up, looks good too. Seems great so far, the real test will be in the Summer!

These sound amazing, they’re lightweight & comfortable & paired easily with iPad but pairing with iPhone 15 pro was not so easy. You have to push a button on the side of the headphones to connect, this took me awhile to figure out, it wouldn’t pair through Bluetooth on the phone.
If you have an older Apple product such as an iPod, where all my music is still stored, you can’t use any app features because it’s not supported, it requires IOS17 or later, so they’re basically just headphones & you scant use any app features. Everything seems to rely heavily on the app. I used it with garage band on my iPad & it works but there’s a delay in sound, which could be common because they’re wireless.
The noise cancelling is good & can be set to ANC which cancels it out completely or transparent where you can still hear what’s going on around you. The volume is also limited and only goes so loud, so you won’t make yourself deaf on these.
They sound great but the whole app use & connection issues hold me back from giving any better rating.

I have an older pair of Ray-Ban stories, which took great pictures considering they are glasses. With the new glasses by Meta those pictures & video can post directly to Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, What’s app. The quality of the pictures is still there & the video quality was also very good. I’m not really impressed with the night pictures, it adjusts automatically & I don’t really think the pictures are that clear.
The case it comes in is smaller & the glasses charge in the case with a usb-c cable, not provided this time. I wasn’t impressed with the battery power either, seemed to drain rather quickly.
As far as listening to music, Bose has it all over these frames, the quality is ok but not outstanding. Texting & calls can be made just by saying “ Hey, Meta” . I was able to make calls this way but can not figure out how to answer them, still working on that one.
Set up was very easy, step by step given through the app.
The controls are on the frames, press once for photo, press & hold for video & slide forward or back for volume control, tap to change songs. This is also similar to the older pair I have. The style of the frames hasn’t changed either so even if you’re not into the pictures or video or other features, you still have a cool pair of Ray-ban wayfarer sunglasses. I’m liking the pictures it takes though, impressive & convenient.

I have always used Zagg shields in the past & I am very familiar with them. I’ve always had issues with them cracking so hopefully , since this claims to be 10 times stronger, that the issue has been fixed. I don’t feel like this has the edge to edge coverage it is suppose to have, with the case on it protects the edges but I still feel there’s gaps. The instructions are easy enough to follow but you must use the included tray to set your phone in otherwise it will go on crooked. I tried four times to put it on & it went sideways every time, by this point I now have small dirt particles under it, no bubbles though. That all happened before I used the tray, I forgot about it, so again, you must use the tray! Once it’s on you just press the center & it adheres itself. The screen looks very bright and colors are vibrant through it & also comes with blue light filtration. I like that it’s fingerprint resistant, my lower priced screen protector smudged easily. It’s a nice screen protector but definitely not worth the hefty price tag!

Your Apple iPhone 15 Pro is a work of art, so your case should be too. The Milan Snap does more than just protect; it enhances the beauty of your device. This MagSafe compatible case is strengthened with graphene, one of the strongest materials in the world. Milan Snap provides up to 13 feet of drop protection.* Its iridescent sheen complements the sleek lines of your phone, so your phone is always runway-ready.

At first I thought this was a bit bulkier than the cheaper case I bought but if it is it’s only slightly. It took a little juggling to put on but then snapped right on. Feels sturdy & I like the subtle iridescent color which is almost sheer & still shows the Apple logo. The case is a matte finish but I can still see fingerprints on it. It is a lightweight case also. I have a portable mag charger which other cases slip off of. This just attached easily & never slipped off even when turned upside down. The camera lens area is raised to protect the lenses but I have a separate screen protector over those since I’m not comfortable with just the case itself. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the mag charger symbol on the case, which I know is required, I feel it takes away from the aesthetic look. So I give it four stars because it’s a nice sturdy case but not sure about the high price of it, seems overpriced for what you are getting , the cheaper case I bought is just as good quality for a much lower price tag.

Incredible image quality, even better HyperSmooth video stabilization and a huge boost in battery life come together in the new GoPro HERO12 Black. It takes superb 5.3K video and adds High Dynamic Range (HDR) to capture once in a lifetime journeys and amazing everyday moments in even more detail. Thanks to its improved power management, it delivers 2x longer continuous recording at 5.3K60 (70 minutes). Tough, lightweight and easily mountable for hands-free recording, it’s ready for anything (on land or in the water) while advanced video stabilization keeps your footage smooth over rough terrain. After recording, simply plug in your GoPro. While it’s charging, your footage will automatically upload to the cloud and be sent to your phone as a highlight video that lets you relive your adventure and share the fun.

I’d like to give this 5 stars but there are a few things stopping me from doing so. First the bad stuff. The battery cover which also houses the charging port & sd card is very hard to open, you have to press down firmly & then it pops open. I was unable to get the app past the connection screen, it needed a firmware update requiring downloading a folder on a computer & dropping it in sd card & putting back into camera. There was a sheet with diagrams for setup but no instructions. There was a cover on the side which houses the mic & is a drain which is not to be opened. I found that out too late, after calling support , and I broke it. This doesn’t come with a bag like my GoPro Max did, only 3 attachments are included & one is for a helmet. Battery life is ok but I left it in the camera so definitely remove it if not in use! Micro sd card not included.
Now the good stuff. Setup in the app went quickly, can power on/off in the app or by mode button, can also view media in the app. Touchscreen makes it easy to navigate . Waterproof to 33 ft., The 27mp camera takes nice, clear photos with 2 modes, super photo & night. I didn’t find the night pictures to be that great. Camera can be turned around for selfie mode with small screen & the screen on back is larger which is great. The lens detaches but doesn’t come with a cover & a 2.0 lens can be purchased separately. The camera has 3 modes , photo, time lapse & video. There is a delay timer In time lapse mode & you can get creative with vehicle light trails, star trails & light painting. Video mode has 3 settings, Basic which is 1080 & saves battery, standard which is 4K & highest which is 5.3k, the videos look great, I used highest quality for my video below & there was some wind noise but I was impressed how stable it was since I was riding & holding it on a selfie stick with no shake. Playback can be done on the camera or in the app & battery charges in the camera.
I had a rough start with this & almost gave it 3 stars but after the bugs were worked out I am impressed with the videos & photos.

This is a fairly small receiver but it’s loaded with features. So happy to see this name again, this was an upgrade to my 1992 Technics receiver ( which still works!). Set up was easy & quick, it fits inside my turntable stand with room to spare. I connected my turntable to phono input, my iPod to Bluetooth, which can also be connected by usb port on front, & paired easily, the iPod songs can be changed through the remote. By pressing the select button on the remote you can scroll through the many functions. I did not connect to coaxial or connect a dvd player through optical cable because I just intend to have this for all of my music.
FM radio includes an antenna & it found all the stations for me through auto preset. The cd player is on the top & has a light inside & swings to the right to open. Everything sounds great & is easy to use. Display is easy to read in bright white.
Connecting to wifi was also easy & you can stream Amazon music, Spotify & a few others I never heard of. I couldn’t stream Pandora or iheart through my phone, Apple play or Google home apps are available but I’d don’t subscribe to either.
The only thing I thought was strange was that it decided to turn itself on at 4:45am to do a firmware update & woke us up out of a sound sleep. It turned off when it was finished but totally scared us! Other than that, I am so glad for the upgrade & very happy with it!

Your household is busy streaming media, working online, and playing games every day. This Linksys Wi-Fi Router will expand your network coverage, send signals directly to your devices, and deliver a lag-free connection, even when you’re all online at the same time.
Overall

This router is huge, almost too big , it looks impressive with all the antennas & lights but so far I'm not impressed at all. It was very hard to setup, I had to call support & there is no DSL port on the back so I had to keep my old modem/router connected to it which defeats its purpose. There are 2 separate wifi bands to connect to which is nice but I haven't seen any improvement in the speed or connectivity than my small router. Plus it runs very hot! I'll give it a few more days before I disconnect it & go back to my small router.

Philadelphia, PA
Still not imoressed
June 28, 2016
I am commenting under my regular Best Buy name since I'm unable to get in under the original comment name . This is in reply to the 2 comments I received. I only had a day to try the router out when I had to post a review since then I can still say I'm not impressed , we run a lot of devices on wifi & I still notice no difference. I realize it's not a modem & as stated in my earlier review I said I had a modem & was hoping that I would no longer need it with a device of this size. I still cannot connect to the app, my router password will not work on the app but works on everything else . This was hard to set up I spent 25 min. on the phone with a tech , I can set pretty much every device up but this was impossible. This is a very expensive router with not much to offer so I still stand by my one star rating.
