This is a really cool idea, so many features packed in a pair of glasses. Almost unbelievable. First of all the glasses are Ray Ban wayfarer & they’re fairly small, I have a small face so they work great & I don’t look like a bug. The lenses aren’t super dark either. They come in a hard case which charges the glasses magnetically while they’re folded up. Also charges them after every use. So far battery power seems to be good. A soft drawstring bag is included for storage. Set up was fairly easy through the app & all pictures & videos are stored there but you pretty much need a Facebook account to set them up. The pictures and video are pretty impressive, see pic below. They are clear & crisp & you hold down the button to capture a picture. I was taking videos at first because the video is a quick tap, that took a little getting use to. Calls were also very clear & answered by tapping the side which is also volume control. This was a bit tricky but with practice I’m sure it’ll get easier. The glasses are turned on/ off by a switch on the left, I seem to have to do this a few times till the white light comes on & then turns green. I’m not sure why that keeps happening either. For me the sound is just ok, it’s not terrible but it seems a bit tinny to me. I have the Bose frames & the sound is much better through them. I find that other people can hear your music & conversation pretty clearly, not really good for privacy. The range seems pretty good, I walked throughout my house & didn’t lose connection. I wish I could give these 4.5 stars because they are really cool, especially if you’re somewhere & want to take pictures or video quickly & without your phone. Some people say about privacy but you never know whose taking your picture when they hold their phone up either so I don’t see that being an issue. I would still recommend these because of their many uses, just a fun quality pair of glasses!

When I saw this advertised on tv I thought I had to have it, it looked much smaller & lighter than the big bulky neck & shoulder massager I have. I have degenerative discs in my neck & have a lot of pain so anything I can find to help it, I’ll give a try.
I hoped for so much more with this, I tried it for a week & the massaging doesn’t do anything, all it does is vibrate & it’s loud even on low, I find vibration to be annoying more than soothing. The heat feels great & gets actually quite hot. The buttons to change the heat & speed are on the side & hard to see which one you’re using. I didn’t notice anything as far as the weighted clay beads. My neck is very small & it doesn’t fit snugly, I have to hold it because the Velcro doesn’t adjust that small, an extender comes with it so if you have a larger neck you’ll be fine.
It is lightweight, the heat is good, the cord is super long & can be charged by usb or plug & the fabric is soft on the outside, not on the inside , seems like it should be reversed, and it automatically shuts off after 15 min. The massage is non existent so it’s basically a plug in thermacare patch.

Serious protection. Subtle styling. Built sustainably. WĀKE for Apple iPad (7th generation, 8th generation, and 9th generation) is a sea-change in case construction, using mostly ocean-based recycled plastic without sacrificing performance. Molded with a mellow wave pattern, the look is contemporary to the core. And after purchase, you get to donate a dollar to one of LifeProof’s water-conscious nonprofit partners — for free.

I love Lifeproof cases & have my phone in one now so I thought this would be great for my iPad, I was wrong. This is so stiff & has no flexibility that it was very hard to put on, felt like it wasn’t made for my iPad & it was. Once it was on it was impossible to get off, it even cracked my screen protector by trying to take it off. There was no snap on/off installation. I’m all for the recycled ocean plastic it’s made of & how the sleeve is recyclable but the fit & installation is just terrible.

Surprising sound through external speakers

This record player is cool in a retro way, with a clear plastic top & wood grain sides it reminds me of a scaled down version of a record player I had as a kid.
When I first listened to it through the built in speaker I wasn’t impressed but when we connected it with rca jacks to a receiver & surround sound it sounded amazing. Clear, crisp sound, if it wasn’t for the cracking vinyl in between songs I would’ve thought a cd or mp3 was playing. It also sounded great through Bluetooth on a Bose speaker. I was unable to pair it with Bluetooth headphones. Plug in headphones sounded great also.
It’s easy to use and paired easy with the speakers, you can stream music from your phone or tablet too. I like the audio technica magnetic cartridge & the slow return to its cradle.
The only reason for the four stars is the quality of the built in speaker, lack of pairing with Bluetooth headphones & albums seems to fit a bit tight, it almost seems like the dust cover won’t close right with an album but there are cutouts everywhere so amazingly it fits. The cover is also removable. Other than those small issues, it’s great & sounds incredible.

I have a small face & these glasses are pretty big, I think they’d be best for a guy. There is also a strange holographic look to iPhone when looking through the glasses but it doesn’t happen on my iPod. They come in a very nice package but you have to attach the arms to the frames, they snap in easily & set up was easy through the app. They connected to Bluetooth quickly. The lenses are very clear but also light in color. The range was good, I set my iPod on my kitchen table & went outside & through my house & didn’t lose connection but they are sensitive & are easily turned off & disconnected by movement. The swipe & tap features on the arms are nice, you can adjust volume, skip a song or turn on/off by tapping or swiping the arm. There is a surround sound feature which just makes everything sound louder. Sound is good not great, it’s fairly crisp , clear & loud. Almost seems like you have earbuds in. I found the charging cable strange, there are magnets for charging but they’re so close together that you either have to charge one side at a time or take the arms off, I couldn’t find a place to adjust this. They’re a nice pair of glasses aside from the charging & holograph issue.

This is suppose to be relaxing & therapeutic., I find it annoying more than anything. No matter what speed I had it on the percussion & vibration was so intense that it felt like my whole body was vibrating. It was irritating to me. The programs are only a few minutes long & if it’s set manually it just keeps going till you turn it off. I also found it to be a bit heavy to hold for extended length of time. I am a hairstylist & thought this would help relax my back muscles & I also used it on my feet because I stand all day but no relief at all.
I gave it 3 stars because it is nice, set up was fairly easy & the touchscreen display is easy to use, it comes with 4 attachments & an extender handle & connected to wifi easily.
I really wanted to like this but it’s just too intense for me, I’ll stick with the shiatsu massagers.

This is our first video doorbell, I always wanted one but we have such a small space that most doorbells are too large. This is large too but surprisingly it fits in our small space. Installation & set up was super easy. We chose to go wire free & keep our existing doorbell, the only problem is by doing this you can’t hear the Blink doorbell ring. The video quality is good & our home is pretty far from the street but it actually captures cars going by & also movement in our driveway. Night vision is good too & you can switch to recorded videos or live view. Microphone is clear when talking to each other. Batteries are suppose to last up to two years. Notifications are constant on my phone because were in & out a lot so I just turned the sound off & have the banner show because it was driving me crazy. The only thing I don’t like is that a subscription is needed after 30 day trial in order to save the videos & the videos when played back are very small, even when viewed on an iPad I don’t see anywhere to enlarge them. Nice doorbell for the price though.

I’ve had a battery powered manicure set & also a pedicure set & they lacked any real power so I was a bit skeptical with this but I have to say I’m very impressed. It is quite powerful, I love the light so you can see what you’re doing & it looks good too. The matching zippered case holds all the attachments & the tool in one place. It comes with 10 attachments & I used each one except for the corn remover. I gave myself a pedicure & manicure quickly without all the filing. A nail dust guard is included . I have a lot of stubborn calluses on the bottom of my feet & the fine sapphire attachment followed by the crystal callus file really smoothed them out. I also have a toenail that had a fungus & is still a bit thick so I filed that down with the cylindrical grinder & them polished it with the felt cone attachment. This operates at three speeds & even on the highest speed caused no burning or irritation. I tried the attachment for ingrown toenail but I only have a small corner that’s slightly ingrown & didn’t notice much improvement . The only thing wrong with it & it’s minor, is that the on/off switch is very sensitive & it’s easy to switch it on & off a few times before getting it just right but other than that I’m loving it.

Who’s in the garden? Are the kids doing their homework yet? Nest Cam is wire-free, so it goes almost anywhere, outside or in. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, so you can get the alerts that are important to you. Listen and speak through the camera right from the Google Home app. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view.* If you miss a notification, you can always go back and see what happened with 3 hours of free event video history.* And it’s easy to install yourself – no outlet or wires required. Nest Camera Battery requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site. *** Stand and cable sold separately

This camera was a lot larger than I expected & it’s hard to discreetly hide it somewhere. I was provided the camera, stand & outdoor weatherproof cable . The cable has a very long cord (10 ft.) & allows you to keep the camera plugged in all the time. I prefer using the battery & go wire free. Setup took me a little while because I couldn’t connect only to find that I had the charging cord in the wrong way, yes, it fits both ways. After that, setup only took a few minutes. We have Nest smoke detectors & a lock so it used those as connecting devices. You can’t use the Nest app though, you have to get Google home app for the camera. I wanted this for our garage rec room for indoor use & the daytime video quality is pretty good, not near as good as our outdoor Arlo cameras. The night vision was pretty impressive, see pic below, because that room is very dark at night & everything shows clearly. The camera is very sensitive to movement & starts recording immediately & let’s you know if it’s a person, animal, vehicle. The videos are all saved in the app & are easy accessed & can be enlarged to full screen. The only downside is they’re only saved for 3 hours, if you want more storage you need to pay for a subscription. Not sure why all the bad reviews, it’s not the best out there but it’s definitely not the worst camera either.

Transform trouble spots with the instant lifting and exfoliating wand that firms skin with an EMS micro-current and ultrasonic waves while dislodging blackheads, removing dead skin and promoting better circulation.
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
This looks a bit intimidating when you take it out of the box, it is metal & looks almost like a razor blade.It has 3 modes, cleanse, lift & moisturize. I have sensitive skin & found the cleanse mode a bit irritating, my skin turned red & I had a few small pimples & they really got red. I don’t think I’d recommend this for someone with acne. I used only water to cleanse it so maybe a little cleanser would’ve helped. The lift mode moved very slowly, I didn’t notice much happening there. For the moisturize mode I used my night cream & it seemed to not irritate as much & surprisingly after all the steps my skin felt very smooth. When you put lotion on though it seems to take most of it off while using it, the end gets pretty nasty buts cleans easily, I used rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to sanitize it. . I guess time will tell after more usage if it helps with fine lines & radiance. It is very lightweight & easy to switch between modes, automatically shuts off after a few minutes. Maybe after a few uses it won’t bother me as much but I highly recommend plenty of cleanser or moisturizer when using !

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
1 out of 5
1 out of 5Looks impressive but that's about it

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.
