The SL-1500C is a complete turntable system designed for a wide range of users, even outside of strictly dedicated audio enthusiasts.

This is a very heavy turntable, I needed help getting it out of the box. It’s solid & well made. I felt like I haven’t heard much from Panasonic/Technics lately & glad to see they’re making more products again. I got this to plug into my 1992 Technics receiver & my 1992 Bose speakers. You must have a receiver with phono input. It was easy to set up & easy to understand, push button start stop & push button 33 & 45 records, also plays 78rpm but I don’t have any of those. Included is a rubber turntable mat & 45 adapter, weights , dust cover & cables. I like the direct drive because there are no belts, parts or maintenance required. I also like the auto lift up at the end of a record. I wish I could find a stereo like my old one though which stacked 45’s & automatically dropped them & went to the next. This sounds great but I thought it would sound amazing considering the high price. Maybe with a better cartridge it’ll sound better. We also had to take the auxiliary weight off the arm because the records were skipping, even stepping on the floor made it skip. After it was removed it was fine. There is a phone preamp but honestly I haven’t figured out what it does. Overall it is a really nice turntable & I would recommend it.

Shark SmoothStyle is designed to style and smooth hair with heated comb technology for a healthy, voluminous finish. Use Blow Dryer Brush Mode for wet-to-dry volumizing with no heat damage and Heated Comb Mode to style, align, and smooth.

This is like a flat iron & blow dryer in one tool. With the wet hair mode you can dry the hair & I suggest drying with a regular dryer before using this because it takes awhile to dry otherwise. Dry the hair till it is just damp! It dries pretty quickly after that & gets very hot but it glides through the hair very smoothly without tangling or pulling. There are 2 heat settings. In dry hair mode it takes about 2 minutes to heat up but it straightens & smoothes the hair nicely, again without tangling. I am a hairstylist & used this on quite a few of my clients this week, pictures below show the results, the first picture is wet mode & added lots of volume. The second & third pictures are dry mode, I almost think I prefer just the wet mode. I have naturally curly hair & used this on my hair & both modes smoothed it out & it lasted the next next day even in humidity. You could also use just the dry mode for next day touch ups. Both me & my clients hair were very shiny after use. I really like this & have used it quite a bit the past week at work but I find it to be very top heavy, which is the reason for four stars, my arm starts to hurt after awhile. I am a small person though so maybe someone else wouldn’t be bothered by it, besides that, it’s great!

Music and Alexa. The perfect fit. Find a color that fits your style, find a spot that fits your small space, and play a track that hits just right, totally hands-free with Alexa.

There is not much difference as far as features go between this & Echo dot. The size is larger and it comes in different colors but other than that it’s very basic, just volume up, down & microphone. I set an alarm but turning it off requires holding volume up & down buttons at the same time. It has a flat bottom & is a bit compact, I have it sitting on a small stand. Set up was super fast & easy through the app & I was connected right away through Bluetooth. I do not have any Alexa devices as far as plugs or switches but I played music & the sound was ok, fairly loud for a small speaker. The power adapter is included but it has to be plugged in all the time. I was hoping that it could be charged & used without the plug so I could take it outside or in different rooms but you can’t do that. This would be great for college or a garage or a small room . It’ s a nice little speaker that sounds half decent but it doesn’t have any great features or options to make it an outstanding speaker.

This is a sturdy, fast moving scooter with many features! It has 4 modes, pedestrian which is the slowest at maximum 3 mph, eco 9 mph, drive 15 mph & sport 20 mph. I haven’t got past pedestrian yet because this is my first scooter & I'm a bit afraid. It really takes off! My husband was a skateboarder so he’s been zooming around in sport mode from the start. You must kickstart it to get it going unless you use the app then you can throttle start it. The thumb throttle is on the handlebars. I suggest using it like a manual scooter to get use to it first. You can use it manually or motorized.There is some assembly but we had it together in minutes. There is an LED headlight , taillight, LED dash that displays mileage, speed & modes. Also a little bell is attached to the handlebars. Maximum weight is 264lbs. & it’s suppose to go 24 miles on a fully charged battery. We haven’t used it that much just yet to find out. The lithium battery charged quickly & does seem to last. Disc brakes are on the back & drum on the front. Fenders are on front & back & the front wheel is a mag. It’s a bit heavy but it folds down for storage. This scooter even has cruise control which can be set in the app or manually by holding down the throttle. By using the app you can lock the scooter when it’s on, once you lock it the throttle will lock until you unlock it. Front & rear suspension make this a really smooth quiet ride! We are loving this scooter, great transportation for a short trip & just a fun toy!

I have only just tapped into the endless possibilities & features with this speaker. It is amazing! The sound is clear & crisp, we use it for rock band practice & it’s impressive. It can be used as a monitor & with the wireless transmitter for mic & instrument it works great.They have their own storage on the back of the speaker which is also a charging port & they are hidden for compact travel . Mic can be plugged in directly to speaker & you can sing with music, would be good for karaoke or a party also. When using as a monitor & in wireless mode the line in plug works as an insert/effects loop. This connected very easily to Bluetooth & sounds excellent with vinyl records & iPod. Also can be attached to a stand, this is loud even at half volume!
Features digital settings instead of analog for bass, treble, volume & reverb. On the back there are 2 1/4” XLR input, 1 auxiliary input, Bluetooth, 1 USB power source, 1 USB-C out for computer/recording device, 1 XLR live out to link to PA or another S1 speaker. I have not tried to see if I can link it to Bose music app so I can control it from my iPad, hopefully that feature will be available.
I have an older model of the same speaker & thought that had a lot of features & great sound but this blows that one away!

TORRAS COOLIFY 2S is a portable and personal climate device with both air conditioning and heater built in. Featuring a 9-mode personal 3-speed bladeless fan.
Posted by: 30stmrox
This is a really cool device & arrived just in time for our trip to Florida. The weather here is a bit too chilly to test it completely but the cooling has 3 speeds & even on low it’s pretty cold. It actually was making my ears really cold. The fan setting also has 3 speeds as well as the heat setting. The heat setting doesn’t blow air though, the sides heat up inside. I have a lot of muscle pain in my neck so it doubles as heat therapy & felt awesome. Set up was easy & the app setup was great, it can be controlled through the app & it works well. The case is donut shaped & has a strap so it’d be perfect to take to a game or concert. The unit itself is pretty lightweight & I have a small neck but the center silicone band flexes so it adjusts to any neck size. It charged fairly quickly & battery power is suppose to be 28 hrs on low speed but it seemed to drain quicker than I expected. It takes a little longer to heat up, the cooling was almost instant. Even with the battery power though it definitely deserves 5 stars, can’t wait to use this while cutting the grass!

This was extremely easy to set up, everything synced quickly. I played a DVD, 4K blu ray & regular blu ray. The blu ray looked awesome, very clear picture, even the DVD looked good. I used Bohemian Rhapsody 4K blu ray & I’m not sure if it was the filming technique they used but I really wasn’t all that impressed with the quality of the picture. I’ll have to try another & see how it is. As always, animated movies look incredible.You can play videos, music or view photos. This is a very small, lightweight player & the remote is a decent size but I have small hands, if your hands are large you might find the buttons too small or close together. It is a great player with good quality pictures & I definitely recommend it but feel that the 4K could’ve been better & the graphics & start up voice seem a bit dated for the high price. Also it seems a bit basic because doesn’t have a lot of features. The buttons on the top of the unit are just open/close & power. 1 5v port on the front , 1 HDMI & 1 LAN port on the back.

This arrived partially assembled, all we had to do was fold it open, attach the guard & shoulder strap & it was ready to use. All of the parts were included for assembly including the wrench. Battery comes with its own charger & was partially charged but it charged very quickly, seems to hold a charge quite well. The 80v battery makes it stronger & it cuts well. Our grass was very long , since it’s the first cut of the season, it zipped right through the long, thick grass quickly leaving a nice trimmed edge. This does not do edging. Because the battery is so large it adds a bit of weight to the trimmer, definitely recommend using the included shoulder strap because it puts weight on the shoulder & not your arms & makes it easier to hold. I can’t comment on how long the string lasts or how easy it is to wind since we haven’t had it long enough to find out. It was fairly easy to clean. Other than the size & weight of the battery, it’s a monster of a trimmer with a lot of power and a nice clean cut.

I got these for my husband because he has minor hearing loss from playing guitar in bands. They are very discreet, with clear wires, rather small in size & fit nicely behind the ear. No one even noticed he was wearing them. Easy to use, can regulate volume, balance, mute left or right individually, control treble & bass through the app, there are four different environment settings which include everyday, music, noisy indoor & outdoors with everyday setting being the best. Battery power is ok, if you wear them all day, every day, you will charge them every night. They make voices & sounds pretty clear, as far as music environment setting goes if you turn it up above 20 it will feedback but otherwise thy dint whistle like regular hearing aids do. He said they really help him hear much clearer. Sometimes they are difficult to pair through Bluetooth & have to be put back in the charging case so they power down & can be restarted. Included is a convenient charging case which is small enough to take with you, cable, ear fit guide, extra domes & a cleaning brush.

These come in a small lightweight charging case & are small & lightweight themselves. I have small ears & they fit well in my ears, they stayed in all night without falling out & I’m a restless sleeper. There are four sets of of ear tips & 3 sets of ear wings to fit your size, these were hard to put on. The first night I used them they hurt my ears so bad I had to take them out, they also didn’t mute my husbands snoring at all. It’s great that you can still hear everything going on around you , in case your smoke alarm goes off, but they don’t do much for muting sound very well. The second night I used them I did fall asleep with them in & they were a bit more comfortable. They paired easily with the app but the app is awful, you can’t save the sounds you like in a library, you have to go in their music library download which one you want & then go back to sleep library & play the sound. It’s very confusing & you have to download the sound every time. There’s a lot to pick from & they sound good while playing, sounds like it’s all around your head, but it’s a real pain to download the same sound every time. You can save sleep data & add your own music but I just want relaxing sounds not loud music at night. The charge seems to hold up ok, I had a problem with the left earbud, I only used it once for an hour & it was in need of charging again. They fit magnetically in the case & that side was hard to put in so maybe it never charged right the first time. These are just ok, I’d wait & save up for a better pair, hopefully they make much needed updates to the app.

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.

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.
