I have used many white noise generators but none have come close to emulating the deep, rich sound that this one does. In the past, my clock radios had this function built in to it and did a mediocre job at best. The "LectroFan" is the "PREMIUM" white noise generator of choice in my opinion.
The controls are simple and the design is minimal. the only thing that I would consider a negative is the operation of the delayed shut off. Each push of the button signifies 60 minuets. A small display or voice notification would be nice to verify that you have actually set the proper timer.
Overall this unit performs flawlessly. I give it 5 stars.

Keep unwanted hair to a minimum with this Philips grooming tool. The waterproof design lets you use it in the shower, and eight attachments make this trimmer perfect for grooming different sections of the face. This Philips grooming tool has a turbo setting to increase cutting speed, and it charges in just one hour to reduce wait time.

Tough to beat for the price!

As soon as I received my new Phillips Norelco Multigroom 7400, I was impressed with the sturdiness of the packaging. I could also tell that the unit must be solid based on the weight of the package. After removing the trimmer and charging it, I noticed that it felt good (and well made) in my hand. My first test was on dry hair and the trimmer performed well without missing any hair. I noticed how it was relatively quiet compared to units that I have owned in the past. I really like that it comes with eight attachments to handle just about any job.
My next test was in the shower trimming my beard. Wet is where this trimmer really shines! Again, quiet, comfortable and a pleasure to use! After trying each of the attachments, I have to say that the Detail Trimmer and the Bodygroom Shaver are my favorites overall. Battery is supposed to last up to sixty minuets and I suppose it would but can't imagine spending that much time trimming. I spent twenty minutes using the trimmer and it never let up once with plenty of power to spare. The trimmer has a turbo boost button available but I never needed it. Turbo would most likely be used for a very thick stubborn beard and would probably work well based on my normal usage experience.
Overall, I believe this trimmer is worth the purchase price and give it 4 of 5 stars based on value, build and performance.

Not a proper fit for the Note 4

Edges do not stick to the glass. Do not purchase this until ZAGG re-engineers the design. I love the ZAGG Glass....but not for this phone yet....

Best router to date!

I use it in...:Large home
I have had several routers lately. The last two routers that I had (both Linksys WRT1900 AC's). failed in the first couple of months. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this unit does not fail me. So far, it is the fastest router that I have ever owned, it looks great.....much better than the Linksys and has a great user interface. I have high hopes, but, if this continues to work as promised, it will be the absolute best wifi router available to date......period.

What's not so great: On the pricey side at around $279.00

Sanctuary is a place of peace and safety, but you know this hasn't always been the case. Two decades ago the Prime Evils plagued your world, but thanks to the tireless combat waged by the Barbarians, Demon Hunters, Monks, Witch Doctors and Wizards their reign of terror came to an end. Now whispers are circulating in the city of Tristram, the place where it all began, and rumor has it that a new menace is coming. Heroes must rise to the call of battle once more and defend Sanctuary against the demon hordes. Raise your weapon, sharpen your skills and join the quest — before it's too late.Return to the world of Sanctuary to wage war against the forces of evil in this action-packed Ultimate Evil Edition, which combines the thrilling Diablo III with the critically acclaimed Reaper of Souls expansion pack. Choose your identity from one of the five original customizable classes, including Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor and Wizard, or select the all-new Crusader class that lets you don fortified armor and rain down holy vengeance on the powers of darkness. Jump into the action of Reaper of Souls when you set out on an epic quest through frightening and awe-inspiring landscapes where peril lurks around every corner on the journey to the legendary city of Westmarch. Decimate demonic foes in fast-paced combat as you fight your way to the ultimate opponent — Malthael, the Angel of Death, a terrifying enemy bent on the ultimate destruction of the innocent denizens of Sanctuary. Feel the freedom of an expansive open world with Adventure mode, which lets you unleash your powers anywhere at any time as you strike down any demon foolish enough to cross your path. Track down the elder evil in randomized objectives that allow you to explore Sanctuary in new ways and earn bounties. Descend into the depths of fully randomized dungeons with Nephalem Rifts that deliver hours of replayability and tons of loot. Quest with advanced players and boost your stats with Apprentice mode. Personalize your loot by seeking out The Mystic, a mysterious artisan who takes your gear to the next level. Fight alone or with friends in four-player same-screen mode or online multiplayer mode. Receive the Infernal Pauldrons with pre-order — exclusive transmogrifiable shoulder plates honed to a deadly sharpness that are wearable in level one and provide enhanced health, life regeneration and cooldown reduction. Your might is needed to defend Sanctuary from the malevolent drive of a demon army — it's time to shoulder your weapon and leap into the fray once again.

Diablo is one of my all time favorite dungeon crawler games. It has always offered many levels to conquer and excellent graphics. From PC to television game consoles, Diablo has always delivered consistently, fun game play and entertainment. Vivid color and excellent depth, non stop action and good replay value. This is one to purchase! Multi-player (x4)is now offered on the same screen!!!
*****5 STARS for dungeon crawling fun!!!! *****

Step up from an iPhone 5

Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded from my iPhone 5 to this phone and will not be looking back! I was a little concerned moving away from ios to Android but the transition was easy. The Note 3 is capable of so much more than the iPhone but be prepared to spend a little time learning the ropes. I love the large HD screen and the feel of it in my hand. A woman with small hand might find it to large.....look to the Galaxy 4 to satisfy smaller hands. I also love the stylus and it's integration into the applications. The plastic on the back of the phone is a plus as it gives you better grip on the handset. It also looks nice. The camera takes amazing pictures!
For anybody (with medium to large hands) looking to upgrade there phone, look no further, this is a fantastic phone with all of the bells and whistles!!!
What's great about it: HD Large Screen

way to small for men
By Roadkill1
Bought the watch today, it's a great watch, better than my Samsung Gear S, but when I opened the box, I thought I bought a ladies watch, it is WAY TOO SMALL, I wore it for 1 hr and couldn't get over the size, so I returned it. So disappointed with Samsung (first time ever), they should have made a bigger version for men. Samsung saying is "Next Big Thing", there's nothing BIG about this watches size.

Too small!!!
October 3, 2015
The small size will make this watch a deal breaker for me. What were they thinking? Everything Samsung makes is about supersizing.....then this little girls watch!!! Samsung, please make an adult version for a grown man!!!
