This dryer is not large in size but it sure is powerful, so much so that I kept it on low speed because other wise my hair was blown all over the place. I kept it on medium heat, it was too hot on high. There are three heat & speed settings and a cold shot button to lock in your style. It’s fairly lightweight & the two included attachments snap on/off pretty easily. The 2 in 1 concentrator nozzle has a slider button to control the flow. The brush attachment rotates & it worked great for my bangs but I found it a bit clunky & hard to use otherwise. I have naturally curly hair & it’s been very humid here lately & this did smooth out my hair & make it shiny. If a diffuser was included that would’ve been great but it’s sold separately As a hairstylist, I’m always looking for a good dryer & this ranks pretty high, can’t wait to try it out on my clients.

I’d like to give this more stars because it’s a nice monitor but it has a few too many issues to give it any more stars. It was easy to set up & easy to read & interpret & also pretty accurate pulse & blood pressure wise when it actually works. I have a very small arm & most of the time was getting an error then it would lower the pressure & keep pumping it back up, it did this 3 times in a row, by that point my arm was numb & it was quite painful. My husband tried it & he got an error reading too. It’s almost impossible to put this on yourself, it kept slipping & the tube has to be in line with the center of palm. For me the talking feature is unnecessary & storage bag is a bit flimsy & small.

This has incredible range, up to 8100 sq. ft. we have over a half acre of land & our house sits in the middle, the modem & router are in a front room & I walked all the way to the end of my backyard & still had WiFi. The next test was in our metal pole building, we never get reception in there & same thing, strong signal. We had the older version of these towers, the AC 2200 model & always had good connection with that also. These nodes are a little larger, like a large air freshener but set up was very easy. They also have 3 LAN ports & one WAN port on the side to connect to instead of just one I already had the app so I just added to my devices. Connected easily to our Arris Surfboard modem.This is suppose to support 90+ devices, we have about 17 connected. From tv’s to iPads everything was simple to connect. The only issue was with my Nest protects & lock, they’re still not connected but it may be a Nest issue & not Linksys. Internet is fast, streaming is good. There are a few other devices I still haven’t connected but they’re not necessary. This really does the job & more for all those necessary ones!

The Shark Steam & Scrub scrubbing and sanitizing* steam mop gently scrubs and sanitizes* all at once. The combination of steam and rotating pads delivers up to 2x better stuck-on stain removal vs. traditional steam mops** on sealed hard floors. This deeper cleaning removes dust, residue, grease, and bacteria while providing chemical-free sanitization*.

This is a small, lightweight mop which cleans nicely in small tight spaces. There are 2 led lights on either side which are great for lighting up darker places like under cabinets or behind the toilet. There are 3 speeds for light, medium & deep cleaning depending on the surface. The steam starts heating up in about a minute & there is a very long cord, I plugged into my kitchen outlet & was able to reach into the living room. I have 5 different hard surface floors & I tried on each one. I used the normal setting for my bathroom tile floor & it cleaned very deeply into some stains that were embedded & never removed by my older spin mop. My hardwood floors got very clean on the deep setting, the white pads were very dirty after cleaning this floor. My vinyl kitchen floor cleaned well on the light setting without dulling it. I used it on a laminate floor on light setting & that cleaned well also. We also have waxed commercial flooring in a rec room & it warns of dulling on a waxed floor which is what it did so I’d use it with caution on a waxed floor.
This is suppose to clean & sanitize at the same time but additional steps are needed for sanitization.
I thought this did a pretty good job on all the flooring I have but there are just a few things that I didn’t like & the reason for 4 stars. The water tank is very small & a filling flask is included but it is a bit messy to fill & tends to run down the front & a bit easy to overfill which really pours down the front. I was able to clean about 2 1/2 average size floors before refilling. Also you have to scroll through the modes , it doesn’t have an on/off switch so it’s live all the time. Also it spins constantly till the steam starts. Those are the only things I wasn’t too crazy about but it was very easy to set up & I love the fact that no chemicals are needed for cleaning.

Let’s start with a quick round up. This is the best all-round TV. Hands down. Movies, gaming, sports... it’ll handle anything you can throw at it and look great doing it (try not to actually throw stuff, it’s just a figure of speech). No surprise when it’s got 4K resolution, Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, 120Hz native panel, Full Array Local Dimming Zones, anti-glare panel and powerful 1,500 nit peak brightness. What does all that mean? It’s like gazing at the sun melting into the Mediterranean Sea from Ibiza’s coolest bars. But sitting on your couch. At home. Then for gaming, we added Variable Refresh rate, Auto Low Latency Mode and FreeSync Premium to make the most of the latest generation gaming platforms. Even if you don’t know what half this stuff means, one look at the picture and you’ll want it.

I’ve seen the OLED TVs in stores & always was in awe of the clarity of the picture. When I was able to select & review this tv I was super excited. It has good & bad points but I find it far from the incredible, spectacular picture they claim it to be. This is a 4K tv so that is about all that really looks good on it. We have an antenna for regular channels & most of those aren’t broadcast in the best quality to begin with but on this tv some are barely even watchable, very blurry & grainy. Since we don’t have cable or a dish I can’t comment on how those look. There are 3 HDR settings, the best picture is on vivid, standard is good but energy saving setting is dull & hazy, even with 4K. There are also 3 Dolby picture settings which are set for streaming. We have HBO max, Hulu & Disney+, I watched in 4K on those & the picture is good but not great. Ultra 4K blu rays look pretty good & regular blu rays do too but they were animated & they usually look good anyway. Regular DVD was very grainy. Most of these look better on my UHD tv.
The connection was very easy & we even used our old TVs power cord which was compatible. Most of the apps are already on the screen & connected without much effort. The screen is anti-glare & we have big windows in the room so the glare was minimal. Built in speakers sound good too.
The remote is quick for scrolling & signing in to streaming accounts & is backlit which is nice but it doesn’t have any numbers on it so you can’t just punch in the channel you want, buttons are small too., Google voice assist is a nice feature on the remote.
I tried to screen mirror my iPad but was unable to do since this supports android & windows. Like all other new devices there are very vague instructions in the booklet provided. I even looked up the model online to see if there was an owners manual there but I couldn’t find anything more than what I already had.
This looks good if your going to use 4K all the time but that isn’t always available. I really had high hopes for this tv & wanted to like it but I’m just not that impressed by it, even though it does have a good picture for some things, it’s just not that great, especially with such a large price tag.

The Shark Air Purifier 4 with Anti-Allergen Multi-Filter uses Clean Sense IQ technology to constantly track air quality & auto-adjust power. It purifies air with 4 powerful fans and anti-allergen HEPA filtration with advanced odor protection.
Posted by: 30stmrox

Even though the first one I received was defective & had to be sent back I can’t give this any less than 5 stars. This runs so quiet you barely know it’s on. It looks good & is small & lightweight. I had a larger bulky air purifier before & this fits nicely & discreetly in a small space. Set up was super quick & easy. Easy to use. Shows the air quality with bright blue, amber & red colors & a number showing quality of air. I blew out a candle near it & the air quality declined rapidly but it didn’t take long & it was back up to 100%. The filter only goes in one way & is very easy to change. I have allergies & this is suppose to remove allergens, odors, dander, smoke. Surprisingly, so far our air has been pretty clean. This also increases the fan speed when the air quality drops to clear it out faster. There is a filter life display for when the HEPA filter needs to be replaced. A remote is also included. The one thing I wish it had was a timer like my old purifier, other than that it’s great.

Expertly shape your brows with Tweezermans classic, award-winning slant tip tweezer. A staple to your beauty routine and famous for its precision, the Slant Tweezer features perfectly aligned, hand-filed tips that grab every hair, every time.
Posted by: 30stmrox

As a hairstylist I’ve always liked the quality & sturdiness of the Tweezerman brand. At home I’ve been using a cheap pair of tweezers which can be quite painful to use. I was never a fan of slant tip tweezers & always preferred the pointed ones until now. These are super sharp, easy to grab the hairs with & don’t hurt near as much as my old pair. They’re larger too so they’re easier to grip. Comes with a plastic end cover & black matte finish.

Featuring the largest precision trackpad for iPad, the 10.2 MAX+ native multi-touch gestures allow you to get the most of iPadOS, transforming your iPad into the perfect laptop replacement.

I have an iPad 8th generation, when I put my iPad in this case it resembles a netbook I had years ago. Sometimes I forget it’s not a laptop. I’m using it to write this review. While it’s nice to have a keyboard and a trackpad, which moves very easily, I wouldn’t want this for everyday use. I like to have a case with a stand so I can use the touchscreen at different angles. Without the keyboard attached, it’s just a black plastic cover. The case is great since it’s an Otterbox & can be adjusted while using the keyboard but otherwise it lays flat. You can only put it horizontally in the holder not vertically. I had an older keyboard & once connected I was unable to use the touchscreen, I still can use it with the Brydge. Backlit keys are a nice feature & the brightness is adjustable, much easier to type on than my older keyboard & the arrow scroll keys move quickly.
I had a little trouble connecting, it kept dropping Bluetooth & telling me to get within range, when the iPad was attached to the keyboard. The app wouldn’t update & kept telling me to connect to power when I was already connected, after a half hour, it finally paired & updated. It’s hard to tell when the keyboard is on/off because the light disappears quickly & turns on in a second, the backlit keys were off so having them on helps.
This also comes in two pieces & the iPad detaches from the keyboard, it locks into place but doesn’t always line up correctly. Battery life is suppose to be 6 months but that will be determined later.
I like this now that it’s working but was a bit of a challenge at first, I didn’t think connecting a simple case would be a hard thing to do! It was great writing this review with it & I’m sure I’ll be using it often but I still won’t give up the laptop!

This mic can be used for streaming but since we aren’t into that it was tested for recording live music which is what we wanted it for. The mic is retro looking & comes packaged in a nice wooden box with padding & a sliding lid. It is small & lightweight but sturdy. The stand is comes with fits in a mic stand, is adjustable & floats so it doesn’t cause vibration. I used 20db cut because otherwise it will squeal.
I recorded acoustic, electric & bass guitar into a Boss BR900 difgital recorder. Recorded vocals from many angles & distances ( 1” to across the room) also from different volumes like whispering to singing at the top of my lungs. The 20db cut feature is a godsend in a P.A. system. Tone & clarity are excellent. It’s hard to find something that this microphone doesn’t do well. I didn’t notice as much with the high pass filter switch. I kept the ambient noise to a minimum & the microphone is very sensitive. I would expect this microphone to cost way more than it does & it’s a great value for the price. I can’t wait to record more music with this & would highly recommend this precision instrument for any home or professional studio!

This is a great concept & I wanted to really like it but based on my trial of two units, I can’t leave a great review. This is a nice compact projector, lightweight & small that you can easily take it anywhere, also has a wrist strap. It has a great picture too, it’s clear, crisp, looks like you’re watching tv & adjusts to 80”, it adjusts automatically to the size of the wall your projecting on, speaker, when it’s working has a pretty decent sound, but that’s where it ends.
Here’s the bad stuff.... the first unit I had only had a picture & no sound. Sound was only in commercials & trailers. No sound through headphones, or fire stick or blu ray. The second unit I received did the same thing. Apps that are built in are very, very limited & I couldn’t connect Netflix, Disney+ or HBO Max, I could only connect to Hulu. Everything is geared towards Android & if you have any Apple products, which I do, you need an adapter. There aren’t any instructions & although helpful , all troubleshooting was done by text & email. It seems like this needed more research or updating before it was released. It really could’ve been a cool device but it has too many issues.

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.
