Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo and Iced Coffee, Black - EP3241/74

This was amazing making coffee!
on April 13, 2023
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Philips 3200 Series Espresso Machine was extremely fun to use while trying different drinks. I certainly enjoyed the “My Coffee Choice menu” as it was easy to use and readable to the eyes. Most of the menu choices here will be great for the perfect espresso that you desire.
Taking out the box was extremely easy and I wish more manufacturers did it this way. I didn’t need help taking it out of the box and setting it up. One lift and it was an easy way out. It does certainly look nice and very modern for an espresso maker machine. Probably fits any kitchen with style. The buttons are large to see and which is easy to press.
Setting it up was easy in the basic settings were great. Making hot coffee was extremely fast from what I’m used to me and a partner tried out the ice coffee setting, which was perfect for making large drinks. It can set the strength of the coffee, the amount of coffee, and the amount of milk that makes foam. This makes a fantastic foam which is ultimately the star of the show!
You add your choice of milk to the “LatteGo” cup where air and steam are mixed. And from there you can have perfect foam every time you make coffee. It’s definitely refreshing and super delicious to come up with your own with this machine. From making Black coffee, espresso, Americano, cappuccino, or just basic hot water. The control panel makes all of this easy which is something the product needs to be.
They also have something in here called the aroma extract system, which gives a perfect balance between brewing and temperature as well as the aroma. I’m not really sure what it does, but it definitely smells good each and every time it’s in use. Everything smells fresh and tastes so delicious that I can’t even believe I’m making this. The grinder adjustment is 12 and everything on this device seems to be automatic. Overall it does the job intelligently.
Once everything is set up I truly enjoyed having this, and it was a convenience for someone like myself who isn’t used to espresso makers of this caliber. Clean-up wasn’t that bad as it was very easy to clean so not really complaining there. I used it for about a week and was getting better and better at making espresso so that bring a smile to my face.
I do recommend this to anyone who is looking for an espresso maker because this one was extremely pleasing to work with. I definitely don’t need to go to the local coffee shop anytime soon friends and family did enjoy, trying their own and making their own coffee.
love it so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful multigroom trimmer.
on February 10, 2023
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Philips Norelco Multigroom 7000 is a product that’s extremely precise in grooming. With so many attachments and standard features, I was able to groom myself perfectly within 10 minutes of time with lining, and hair shaping and my beard was all flawless after I took my time. What are the best things about this grooming kit is that it lasts about 5 hours in testing, I wanted to see how long I can go without plugging it in and went through about 2 weeks of use on a daily with touch-ups.
Norelco Multigroom 7000 feels ergonomically good in the hand and smooth to the touch with grips indented into the mold making it easy to hold. There are 19 adjustments to the length levels settings so there’s plenty to get you at the right level for your face and body. And I mean it can go low with 0.2 mm down to the face but I normally take it down to 1 mm. The blade feels really good as the stainless steel cuts every single trim or strand off. The thing is so precise when cutting and it feels great on the skin.
I personally enjoyed the Philips Norelco Multigroom kids before but the 7000 series just improves on what was already perfect about the device before. Long beard, fading hair, hair guards, nose and ear, precise guard, precise trimming, extra wide guard, eyebrow, and many more guards and trimmer attachments come in the box so this is truly a good all-in-one unit like this. It’s been very helpful having just one device that can suit all these needs.
Outside of that, there’s not much to talk about due to no issues with the trimmer. It does come with a USB-A charging cord and a carrying bag for travel purposes. I like this trimmer very much and got me looking right over the past few weeks with self-care. Definitely a 5-star product to me and happy with the outcome.

When it works after setting up, its great.
on January 24, 2023
Posted by: CrysisComplex
HP Smart Tank 5101 is a good printer once it’s set up correctly. I’ve personally had some issues with getting this product to work properly. I’ll explain later but as far as being a good printer it does its job with standard features.
The printer isn’t that bad with the design carrying over a modern look. The instructions have you set everything up including squeezing the ink into the printer. This was an easy part of the setup and placing the ink cartridges inside.
Thanks to me starting to get complicated win the app became involved. Setting this up has been a pain for me due to no indication in the app when setup is properly done or looking for Wifi. It has had many issues. I have seen many “E3” errors on this device because I feel the method of setup is a little dated. There is no way to know if the app/printer is in the progress of setup. Spent two days trying to figure out how to fix this error with the HP app hanging. Wifi wouldn’t print with my phone.
Then spontaneously, there was no more error and it started to work. Print out the test page and it just was fine. I was able to print and scan it. It’s been a strange two days but I was satisfied once everything was set up. It’s a good printer, but I personally suggest something that gives you a visual indication (screen on a printer) of the setup. This is no gripe against the HP Smart Tank 5101. Again once everything is set up to work it does its job just fine.
Overall, if you just need something to print and do the job this is a good device. You can also fax with HP service. Printing documents and pages were quick and clear. Using the HP app allows you to change the sizes of pictures and edit them to print perfectly. This one would be a harder recommendation to family and friends just based on my own experience. It is a reliable printer when you need something printed out but the wifi issues I was having left a sour experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Joystick experiance since childhood.
on January 2, 2023
Posted by: CrysisComplex
VelocityOne Flightstick is a durable and easy-to-use flight stick for the Xbox and PC platforms. The ergonomics of the device feel premium. Controls feel smooth on the hand, and they’re easy to navigate as a new user and veterans will likely have an enjoyable experience. Flightstick is USB-C compatible so it's one cord into the PC or Xbox. It’s a unique/fun experience to fly over cities throughout the world in the game with the joystick on Microsoft Flight Simulator, All the buttons are here for a fun time.
The Joystick doesn't come with much in the box so it's not to overcomplicate things. The joystick, USB-C, Quickstart Guide, and 3x M5 Screws come inside the box. The device is well-constructed and sturdy once you place it on a surface so it doesn't move too much when in use. The list of buttons on VelocityOne Flightstick is massive and every button you need in MFS is on this joystick (I have put in a picture of the list of buttons for review.) After you connect everything you can download the app from the Windows Store/Xbox Store (on PC/Xbox) to download the firmware. It has all the buttons of an Xbox controller and more.
The experience itself was one of the best I've had on modern PC gaming. It has been since the 90s since I've used a flight stick so getting used to it was a challenge at first. Once I started to get a feel around the controls I became a semi-pro at the landing and taking off at O'hare Airport. I didn't have issues with the game itself as I'm using a Neo G9 and a 3080 TI so I was having a Blast going with this controller. in MFS I went into the controller settings and selected the "VelocityOne Flightstick" profile allowing me full control of the stick. resting my hand upon the stick was fine after adjusting the wrist rest. there are two extra USB-C ports which I would assume to be for more add-on devices for this thing and would be well worth it if they made foot paddles.
There are tons of settings you can sort through on the OLED screen such as Bluetooth setup, Profiles, LED colors, Selecting Xbox and PC modes, Sensitivity, and much much more. so much more I really haven't played with ALL settings of the device, but every feature I tried worked just fine. I am not an expert at flight but I certainly had fun playing and using the VelocityOne Flightstick with friends and family over the holidays; many of whom couldn't believe the experience of flying a real plane on PC.
Overall it's a must-have if you are serious about MFS gaming, the best thing about this is that if you are this is a super affordable way to use a flight stick and it's modern to be used with the Xbox as well. Personally, I love it and it brings me back to the early days of PC gaming with my step-father. its something about using this thing that was just fun for me. Turtle beach made a great product and glad to see this one from them.

Affordable great sound with awesome battery life.
on December 17, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Skullcandy made some truly good wireless earbuds. While they’re not fancy or expensive as other brands they get the job done when you need them. The drive to this product is the impressive battery life that these earbuds hold; which ended up being great to use on long flights.
The design is nice and in line with your typical earbuds of today’s era. The battery case is compact enough to fit into a pocket but big enough to spot if you leave it around somewhere. The buds magnetize to the seat inside of the charging case Skullcandy provides. Farmer cases indicate a light, letting you know if the device is charged fully.
It comes with a short USB-C cord that’s very short and earbuds to change out to fit inside your ear with comfort. Not much is in a box, nor complicated instructions on how to hook it up to Bluetooth. Pretty simple manual to get you going as fast as you can.
In the department of Sound; they sound pretty good, but I wish they had more bass in them with a richer sound in them. They do fit nicely inside of the ear where you can hear full range sound perfectly. I do enjoy the economics of this case and earbuds, and I don’t fall out when I shake my head from side to side. I’m rather impressed with what you’re getting at this price. The mic as well is extremely good as the call quality has been clear, so have zoom calls.
I will personally recommend these if you just need some earbuds on the go not really looking for massive features. But the features it does have with the Skullcandy app can further enhance these buds. I highly recommend downloading it to get the most out of them. It has a self-aware mode where you can monitor your surroundings better. you can also pay it easier buds with multiple devices.
These are perfectly fine they just pick up and thrown in a bag. The battery life is extremely impressive. I actually managed 30 hours of battery life on one charge. (Earbuds = 7 hours, w/case 27 extra hours.) I didn’t have issues with the battery or complain about battery life. At the end of the day, I think they made a very amazing set of earbuds. There isn’t too much here that’s overwhelming with features, but it definitely has a great sound overall.

This is no microwave, toaster oven or broiler…it’s a revolutionary new way to cook. Hugely popular in Asia and available in the US for the first time, the Panasonic HomeCHEF 7-in-1 Compact Oven uniquely uses the power of steam and convection cooking together so you can roast, bake, steam, slow cook, air fry and ferment your way to incredible meals, sides and desserts. With combination cooking, steam insures consistently juicy, tender melt-in-your-mouth insides while convection delivers perfectly brown, crispy outsides. What would normally require 2-3 different processes can now be done in 1…plus, the enclosed space means less nutrients escape than with stovetop cooking. The HomeCHEF 7-in-1 is large enough to fit a whole chicken or a dozen muffins, yet small enough to outperform a traditional oven in both accuracy and speed. The icing on the (deliciously baked) cake? With steam you can sanitize everything from utensils to baby bottles, plus prep the inside cavity for easy wipe-and-go cleanup.

It does it all and cooks food perfectly!
on November 22, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Panasonic HomeCHEF is a fantastic 7-in-1 compact oven that makes fantastic food deliciously every time you cook it. It gets the job done by cooking everything you need at once with a very easy setup process that makes things enjoyable to cook. This mighty compact oven can Airfry, Bake, Steam, Slow cook, Steam Convection and Fermentation, and Sanitize. It definitely looks good in the home kitchen with the black design of the compact oven. Looks modern and nowhere near out of place.
First; you can place an enormous amount of food inside. 445 degrees is the highest temperature the oven can go. My first test was Beer Battered Shrimp and a 4 Pizza Puffs just to see how well it handled fried frozen food on its own on the air fryer settings. Everything came out even and perfect especially the Pizza puffs were nice and golden brown nothing too out of the ordinary. Next up were chocolate chip cookies on the pre-timed settings and they turned out delicious. So far so good, it’s handling everything out of the box well. They are auto-programmed settings for different food types to help with cooking.
One of the most annoying things about modern air fryers is the preheating takes a long time. I was finally able to make toast without long preheating time temperatures on the fly. This is PERFECT for me as our family wants food at a fast pace. You have to wait for the oven to beep three times before you know the preheating is done then set the time which could be a hassle for some people. There will be a checkmark to let you know the preheat is done. For me, the preheat was fast enough.
Interestingly enough, this comes with a steam tray where you can insert water and put it into the tray, slipping it inside at the bottom of the compact oven. Two large trays can fit inside the oven itself so there is plenty of room inside along with two racks. Stainless steel Inside and can take messes like a champ but can be cleaned just fine manually. Just wanna point out to cleaning out the air fryer too is also easy as well. Also, there are auto settings for cleaning.
Another defining feature that I like about this that I haven’t used yet is its ability to sanitize baby bottles. This oven can do sensitization for utensils, baby bottles, and more. A feature I know would be useful to friends and family. Overall it seems to be a powerful oven and I don’t have any problems with it. Does the job well and cooks the food evenly. So I have nothing but high praises for Panasonic. If you’re looking for an oven that can do most of the needs you have. This is it and would recommend it to a friend.

PWRHERO 10S is a winner in picking up dirt.
on November 16, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Tineco PWRHERO 10S pet vacuum is lightweight, powerful, Long lasting with a battery that’s 25 minutes, and has a very nice rose gold design that I love. The vacuum is extremely easy to maneuver around the house and lightweight enough for me to just grab being small enough. I am able to reach the top of blinds and curtains with the handle being sturdy and well-built.
The vacuum is extremely robust and picks up pet hair from around corners on hardwood floors with ease. The suction is ultra powerful being on something this portable and can pick up dirt better than my other cordless vac. It has a wider brush head to get dirt from a wider area and it certainly helps. I have a bulldog whose hair gets everywhere but having the PWRHERO really helped me out keeping the place less with shedding.
PWRHERO 10S can convert into a hand vacuum quickly and isn’t an issue. The light on the front of the vacuum helps spot massive dirt on the floor and can be useful one of the best features I love about this product. Even at the lowest speed, the vacuum picks up an immersive amount of dirt and debris from the area. It lasted long enough to do one huge living room before getting filled.
Putting together the wall mount was easy and only took me 10 minutes to put it together. It stays up on the wall and charges nicely. no issues there. The vacuum is also quiet when using more than I have. The vacuum comes in the box with an Upright full-sized Power Brush, Mini-Power Brush, Crevice Tool, 2-in-1 Dusting Tool, and the wall mount dock. All of which is easy to assemble and attach to the vacuum itself so you won’t be fumbling around with accessories.
The vacuum has a beautiful color and design. Cleaning out the bin is very easy with a press of a button and emptying it out over the trashcan. The easily accessible button the change speeds is on the front. (Low, Med, & Hi) and there is an A/C barrel plug on the side makes it easier to see the charging plug. The more power you use, the more battery drains quickly so eco mode/low is the better option for me. The vacuum doesn’t start as long as you’re holding the trigger to start it up which switches on and off.
PWRHERO 10S is a very good vacuum and one I don’t really have any issues with or had any problems with so far. It picks up dust very rapidly off the hardwood floors and does a decent job of carpeting. Keep it in line with the PWRHERO 11; The 10 S are nearly the same and pack a strong punch for the price point. Not much to hate here and I love it. Highly recommend for daily cleaning.

AMD and ASUS ROG have made something speical!
on November 2, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
It’s fast. It’s beautiful. It’s thin. It’s powerful. It’s everything a modern gaming laptop should be. Everything gamers should want today.
The AMD ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402 (2022)
There’s a reason why the ROG Zephyrus is one of the best laptops of 2022. There is a reason why it’s one of the fans
The unboxing was unique on its right, not only is the ROG box good looking but once you open it up. The laptop pops up greeting you, with what I would assume is gamer hieroglyphics behind it. This is appreciated and a nod from ROG about their love for gaming. Inside the box are the ROG Zephyrus G14 laptop, A/C charger, and a quick start guide.
Design:
In my eyes, one of the most beautifully designed laptops I’ve ever used. It’s white but it matches everything else electronically white. PS5, Backbone, White Logitech headphones, mouse, monitors…just everything. If you have that aesthetic, this laptop will definitely match is it beautifully.
The design matches those of the ROG Zephyrus line. The ROG Zephyrus M16 (2021) resembles this but just shrinks down into a 15-inch form factor laptop. This is by no means a bad thing, ASUS really just perfecting the design they already had before. The Dot matrix lid makes a return with better refinement. Beautiful machine-drilled holes layer the lid of the laptop. Chromatic finish underneath so when the light or sunshine upon it gives it a nice hint of color. ROG branding on the lid at the bottom corner.
Display:
Open the G14 laptop presents a very beautiful, bright, and vibrant screen! ROG calls this their Nebula display. From what I can tell is 500 nits of brightness and it’s Dolby Vision approved which gives even better contrast and colors with the video demo. Outdoor or Indoor visibility doesn’t matter, you will see the display. I feel like even 50% brightness is bright on this G14. That’s a good thing and even better for gaming.
16:10 / 14’ inch / 2560x1600 / 120hz / 3m response time / QHD display is perfect for gaming and it’s extremely smooth. Everything looks very crisp when gaming. Your eyes really have to see it in person to understand it. You can get better performance in games by bumping down the resolution to 1080p or 1440p. Which works out for me when gaming on a TV or monitor. 16:10 display takes over almost entirely the whole screen but not in the same way as the Asus M16. It’s impressive what they manage to put squeeze here into the screen size; this time though the charging like doesn’t bounce off the bottom of the screen.
This year Asus decided to add a Webcam to the G14 line as well; it’s only a 720p but it’s there and it works. Well, it’s not mine blowing. It works beautifully with Windows Hello instead of having a fingerprint scanner. Sometimes the fingerprint scanner wouldn’t work and sign in but windows hello snaps me into the windows environment rapidly each time. Love it.
Keyboard / RGB:
I love the layout of the keyboard, and it’s very comfortable to type on. There is no bend in the middle from what I can tell of the keyboard. The keyboard also looked nice and white, though I’m unsure how long it will retain this look as white isn’t really “gamer” friendly. Overall the keyboard itself is nice. Extra media keys above the keyboard are just Volume up, Volume down, Mute, and an “Armoury Crate” button.
I appreciate the RGBs on here again this year and they look great on the color of this laptop but they are single zone again this year which to me is still a disappointment. This doesn’t take away from the performance of the laptop at all because it’s very powerful but I would love to have per-key RGB on a Zephyrus. I mean you know I’m right especially at the price point.
But with this laptop being so powerful and thin I can’t fault any stars for RGB. The RGB on the Keyboard does get bright with 3 levels of brightness. The trackpad is huge! The trackpad works fine, gliding around windows, but at the bottom left corner of the trackpad it doesn’t click in. Forcing you to move your fingers up just a tad bit. The RGB doesn’t bleed too and doesn’t get as bright as I like much but it is nice to use.
Specs:
This is an all-AMD laptop and it’s an all-AMD beast of a laptop. The CPU is an AMD RYZEN 9 6900HS that comes with an AMD RADEON RX 6800s GPU that’s all in a thin body with vapor chamber cooling that’s been pasted with Liquid Metal. All of this combine to give one of the best PC gaming experiences I have ever had. Since the laptop lifts up when the lid is open, this allows airflow to get under the laptop for increased performance. I love it so much.
Also comes with 16GB of DDR5 which gives this laptop an insane level of speed during normal tasks. 8GB on Board and 8GB SO-DIMM which can be changed out. 1TB NVME of storage and is plenty enough fast in its speed. AMD Advantage / Smartshift really helps this laptop out in a variety of ways. Smart shift allows for the GPU and CPU to communicate with each other on the fly which helps with gaming and everyday task. Shifting power to where it’s needed. If you are gaming that’s where the power will shift. Smart, memory access eliminates bottlenecking of the VRAM. All this is to say that when you’re gaming, it just feels fast. Windows 11 is very speedy and fast on this thing so I didn’t have any issues. Once I was updated to the latest version it was great.
Gaming / Performance:
It’s fast. And it’s downright beautiful to look at the graphics on this 14-inch laptop. I am extremely impressed with the performance that you can get out of this little portable package. AMD’s FSR resolution scaling helps out with highly demanding games. But it also helps out on this laptop perfectly and is something many game developers should be looking into going forward. AMD’s FSR works as trying to achieve the same goal as Nvidia’s DLSS. Charts from my testing.

I am extremely happy with the performance of the G 14 laptop is exactly what I want especially when I want to take it on the go if I’m gaming elsewhere. The beautiful part about it is that it comes with a MUX switch. Which gamers have been asking for 2 years now. Outside of gaming doing normal everyday tasks was fun and wasn’t a horrible experience on the laptop. Just browsing the web listening to music and watching movies was a pleasant experience.
Battery life lasts a while about 5 to 6 hours on Windows mode/silent mode. If you’re trying to game on the battery you probably wouldn’t get an hour of use. Just using a laptop normally though I do get a lot of hours out of it without charging. Perfect when. I just want to browse in the living room. Again you can use a 100w USB-C charger and still get massive performance out of it.
Sound:
G14 sounds OK again it’s nothing mind-blowing but it gets the job done when you need it. You can go in and fine-tune the audio and it does have Dolby Atmos. I just don’t think speakers on his laptop have anything to write home about and more than likely you might be using headphones. I feel like it is an improvement over the ROG M16 if that helps. This an area I wish more manufacturers invest in.
I/O:
I/O ports for whatever you probably need it is here in the G14. There is a 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack, HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.2 Type-A, 2x USB 3.2 Type-C (Support DisplayPort and power delivery), and MicroSD slot. The barrel charger is also on the side. Can charge the laptop with USB-C @ 100w as well but the best thing about this is that you can still game way above 60fps with this charger. Without the need for the bulky charger with you at all times. The charger with the laptop is 240w giving a great performance. Bluetooth works fantastic as it normally does with ROG products. keeps in sync with an Xbox One controller that’s connected with BT. WiFi 6E stays strong and connected to my router.
Portability:
The Asus G14 is about 4 pounds and definitely more comfortable to move around than my Asus M16. It feels really easy to slip into a bag and just go. Is the perfect amount of portability and wait for the laptop of this degree. But I also think that what makes this laptop very special is that it’s so small and thin but it’s also a gaming device. Definitely don’t have any issues with the weight.
Dislikes:
My dislikes with this laptop are very few. First; the laptop does get a little hot. I am not concerned about the heat as a laptop does a good job of dispensing the heat that comes from it. From testing, this is well within the spec but it’s also a little concerning. My second issue with the laptop is that it only has one NVME SSD slot and would prefer to have at least two inside.
Overall:
While is not the best gaming laptop you can buy it’s certainly one of the best gaming laptops I’ve used. Probably the reason why is the best one of 2022. Asus ROG G14 laptop balance everything out from Gaming to normal task; it crushes it. Delivers a pleasant user experience. Armory Create software is very useful to the laptop as well giving nice customization. as a person who played a lot of games, I can truly say this AMD advantage Asus laptop does represent gamers today. It has everything you can need in a laptop without being overly bulky or expensive. I won’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone who wants a gaming experience on a gaming PC that’s awesome. AMD and Asus ROG is just killing it with this product.
TLDR: It’s one of the fastest gaming laptops I’ve used and It’s AMAZING.

Inferno blue light-blocking gaming glasses in matte-black Obsidian is the hottest frame in our range. Its square/rectangle style is a true classic that suits almost any face and outfit. The thin, flexible Morph-Flex® temples are designed to fit comfortably under your headset without compromising style. The Inferno also includes a strong, magnetic, polarized sun clip made from the same Morph-Flex® material that you can keep in the included microfiber pouch when not in use. The included Rezme™ Sleeper lens is fueled by a proprietary light absorption technology proven to absorb harmful artificial light emitted by your screen to protect your eyes to the maximum level. The lens is near clear and does not distort color. Using this lens regularly can increase melatonin levels by 96%, cognition by 47%, and reduce headaches and migraines, which may improve sleep, performance, and overall health. The lenses are finished with a premium hard coating for increased durability, an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare, and a water & dirt repellent coating for easy maintenance. PLAY HARD. SLEEP HARD.®

Very Comfortable Glasses for Gaming.
on November 1, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Gamer Advantage glasses are nice and comfortable with no color discoloration to the frames or lenses. They are stylish and the design is nice with a hint of gamer aesthetic choices. I have the Inferno obsidian version of the frames and I like how there are red accents that give the frames some personality. First; they come in a nice glasses case that is premium with the Gamer Advantage logo on it. Inside is a caring case and glasses.
The frames are flexible to a degree which means if you fall asleep in them they have less probability of damage. It’s a hard coating on the frames and the durability is there. The maintenance is easy and they are easy to clean off. My favorite part about these glasses is that they are also available in RX. Which I will be doing later this month to have an extra pair of prescriptions.
The lenses reduce eyestrain by a considerable amount. Using them for about 7+ hours was comfortable and less eyestrain. Using an ultrawide monitor for long periods was okay for me. Gamer Advantage claim that light emitted by your screen protects your eyes. Also says that it reduces headaches which I haven’t had so it must be working. In this case, the magnetic sunglass frames attach easily. I mean it’s nothing to it. They don’t fall off with hard bumps to the body.
These glasses conform to the shape of your head so there is no point pinch. They are durable as well holding up from a few drops already. These do fit well with all headphones/gaming headsets so far and aren’t uncomfortable. Extremely Lightweight frames sit fine on the face and aren’t heavy at all. They actually did improve my sleep habits just a bit for the period of the week.
My overall view of this product was positive and the frames are very nicely designed. They are not over the top and are flashy with a matte finish. I’ll definitely keep my eyes out for more frames from this company. Can’t really go wrong here with these frames. If a friend is looking for frames and is into gaming. I will be directing them to these glasses. 5/5 product.

Ultimate Pixel Art Showcase
on November 1, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Twinkly is a super fun and fantastic light panels that give any home of vibrant eight bit pixel art extravaganza! I am such a huge fan of these little LED lights that’s broken up into pixel bits.
They give you an artistry unlike anything before. Growing up, I was a huge fan of old consoles like Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis of that in the 16 but era, and a lot of the artwork was done in pixels but artist always found a way around the restraints of the console to give you a define look. Now I can have that display of anything I enjoyed as a kid on the wall.
Twinkly is the first to give us a full art display with this level of detail and care. If you’re an old-school gamer, especially someone like myself this is the ultimate form of wall art to my home. Setting up takes a little bit of time but once you perfect it and get everything you want in the place you want it. It comes together very well.
The box itself was a nice unboxing experience and even gave a little card for being a customer to twinkly services. In a box comes six panels that can connect to each other. The main panel one having the USB-C on the side to connect. There is a printed sheet of a panel so you can know your placement before hand or plan out how you would like the squares on the wall.
This came in handy when you wanted to play screws into the wall in the correct position. The wall charger for the USB-C is 60w. And the USB-C cord is just long enough to reach, but I highly recommend getting a longer one if your outlet is further away.
Once you have everything in the correct position that you would like. You can download the app for Apple devices and android devices on their App Store. “Twinkly” App is one of the better app experiences I ever had with one of these lighting companies. They give you just enough customization to get started, but I definitely would like to see extra features added in overtime.
Once you have the app and set it up with Wi-Fi; You have to make an account. From here they’re going to want you to map out the lights according to your wall. Hold up the camera to the square panels and it will automatically map. So you don’t have to worry how you put the connectors into the squares panels.
In the app you can turn the device on and off, make your own designs, schedule timers, download new themes, carousel the themes, and so much more. I was able to make themes from different video games from my childhood! This was the most fun part of using this product. Or you can simply download a .GIF of your favorite character! This is amazing and this is exactly what needs to be done with a product like this. It’s the level of customization to your liking that draws me in. Software updates also takes place inside the app.
The downside to this product for me; They only give you six panels to start. And while this is a decent amount to get a nice image, trust me, you’re going to want to buy more squares to attach. I am going to buy more squares for sure because without a doubt you’re gonna need a lot more to get the image you really want especially for old-school pixel art from the 16 bit or 32 bit era. Any old school “90’s Arcade Manufacturer.” game will definitely need many more for a bigger image.
Overall I am highly impressed and love this product. If you like pixel art and enjoy it being displayed though your room. This is the ultimate way of showing it. Twinkly made a great product and I’m assuming this will be their most popular one. its one of the better lights I've used for home use.
