This is an easy to use shaver that saves a lot of time and mess. As others mentioned, being able to use the shaver in the shower is a big plus. Avoid shavers that aren't waterproof, it's an awesome feature to have!
Additionally, this shaver comes with 6 different attachments that give it a lot of versatility. It has a hair comb, stubble comb, body comb, bodygroom shaver, detail trimmer, and nose hair trimmer. Just pop on whichever attachment you need and you're good to go. Simple to use and effective!

Love it!

I am loving the Google Home. Let me start off by saying, the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's still missing some things. I asked it to set a reminder, and it said it couldn't do that yet. Updates are coming, but it's not all there yet.
But here's what it does have going for it. First, the microphone on this is fantastic. You can be across a room, speak in a normal voice, and the Home has no problem picking you up. The only time I experienced an issue with this was when I had it playing music at max, so naturally, it couldn't hear me very well! The speaker is pretty impressive as well for something this size.
Also, the Google Home has the power of Google behind it. That means searching for information is awesome. I asked for a recipe for peach cobbler, the Home read one out for me. I asked it for a trivia question, the weather, cooking conversions (i.e. how many teaspoons are in a cup...it's 48 by the way).
Set up is a breeze, just plug it in, download the Google Home app with your preferences, and say "Ok Google". I haven't done it yet, but I'm really looking forward to the potential Home Control features also (like Philips Hue and Nest) that are compatible with the Home. Amazing product, very handy, and a lot of fun to use!

Worth It

I've always wanted to have Photoshop, but I was never willing to spend the money for it. I was missing out. This is a simple to use program, but it has so many handy features. It works flawlessly on my Mac.
I have a tendency to take a lot of pictures on my phone and then do nothing with them. Then when I think back to a picture I took several months ago, finding it can be a big pain. The sort and search features in Photoshop eliminate that problem.
Love Photoshop, should have bought it long ago!

Pixel > iPhone
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
Just got the Pixel yesterday, so I'll just start with the obvious stuff. First off, the camera. Google promoted the camera as being the best ever on a smartphone, and it didn't disappoint. The low light pictures that it takes are the best I've seen. We took a side by side picture with the Pixel versus an iPhone 6. First off, the Pixel takes pictures a lot faster and second the clarity and quality was vastly improved.
The design of the Pixel is every intuitive and as expected it integrates very well with Google. The layout of the phone is easy to adapt to. The one exception to this might be the fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone. That felt a little awkward at first.
Switching from an iPhone to the Pixel, Google could not have made it simpler. They included an adaptor with the phone so after I removed the SIM card from my old iPhone and put it in the Pixel, I was able to connect the two phones and transfer all of my contacts, pictures, music, etc.
Bottom line, the design and functionality are there and the speed and camera put it over the top. Google did it right with this one.

Bose is great, not a fan of this style
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
First, these headphones are made by Bose, so obviously the quality is there. The sound and features on these headphones are fantastic. The only downside for me is I've found I'm just not a huge fan of the neckband headphones. I don't like having to wear something around my neck. Just a personal preference, but that's why I gave these four stars.
But the features and sound really are great. Bear in mind, sound quality won't be totally on par with Bose's over ear headphones, that's just not possible. However, the sound quality is the richest I've heard in open ear headphones. On top of that, these are noise cancelling, and the noise cancelling feature is adjustable to suit the user.
Bottom line, if you like the neckband style headphones, these are wireless, they're noise cancelling, and they're Bose. You won't find better in this style.

Just Ok
on September 16, 2016
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
I'm not nearly as wowed by this was I hoped I would be. Navigation works as expected, but I could just use my phone for that. Yes, you can hook up your phone to it, but if you don't have wifi, you'll probably use a fair amount of data. Plus, when I connected my phone (iPhone 6) and tried to use the voice commands, there was a huge delay in the command going through the OverDryve to my phone and actually doing what I said.
And the only way to use the system monitoring feature is to buy an additional dongle (and the cheapest I've seen is around $80). Then you also have to buy the app on your phone...that's another $10. This thing already costs $400. For what it does on it's own, it works, but there are a lot of other options out there that won't dig into your wallet nearly as deep.

Excellent Design!
on September 1, 2016
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
I love this dock; it's absolutely perfect as far as I'm concerned. First off, it charges my iPhone 6 and my Apple Watch at the same time. The phone pops right in, and you can just slide your watch into place. I charge my phone and watch at night and then can quickly grab them and go in the morning.
Now, for my favorite part. It's probably the simplest thing ever, but I've never had it on any other dock that I've owned. In fact, I've never seen it but always thought it would make so much sense. There is a dial on the back of the dock that allows you to adjust the height of the USB connector where you plug in your phone. This means that I can leave my case on and just plug my phone right in. You can adjust the height of the USB connector once, and then you're all set. Sometimes it's the simple things!
This dock has a nice, sleek design, not at all bulky, and it works great. No complaints, absolutely love it!

Pretty good at this price point
on July 23, 2016
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed for $250. You get a laptop that converts into a tablet and runs quite well. I like the Google operating system. It's pretty simple and straightforward. It's especially nice if you already have a Google account because you can log in, and everything is there. Google chrome has all of your favorites and your Gmail account is synced up. Because of this, initial set-up of this computer and then overall use is a breeze.
While you can't use programs like Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc.), you can use Google docs which can be opened in the Microsoft Office programs on other computers.
I wish that this had more in the way of hard drive space. Instead it has flash memory (and my little thumb drive holds twice as much as this). And it's not entirely necessary since everything you'll be doing on this computer is through Google and therefore saved online. And again, for the price you're paying, it's an overall great deal.

Long Range, Short Battery
on June 5, 2016
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
The quality of these headphones is what you would expect from Bose. They are well made and provide excellent sound quality. Honestly, the way they fit in your ear isn't my favorite. I feel like you have to get them just right or they feel like they'll fall out. However, I've always had a little bit of trouble with earbud headphones, so that could just be me. And you do get different size covers to give you the best possible fit.
Really the only con I've experienced with these headphones is the limited battery life. With a full charge, they last for approximately 3 1/2 - 4 hours of continuous play. For me, I use them at work, and I sit at a desk all day. Therefore, this shorter battery life is something of a pain.
But again, the quality is excellent. The box includes the headphones, 3 additional ear bud covers in varying sizes, the charging cable (Micro USB), and a nice carrying case. I would definitely prefer a longer lasting battery, but I would still recommend these headphones.

Easy set-up, Powerful
on May 20, 2016
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
In my experience with this router so far, there's really nothing negative to say about performance. It's new and pretty much top of the line for home routers. In fact, if anything, it might be overkill for most homes (it's supposed to cover up to 10,000 square feet). I have it set-up in my home office and wow, totally impressed. My wifi network is strong and stable.
Set-up is a breeze, and I love the features of a smart router. Among other things, you can see and control who has access to your Wifi network.
The one possible downside to this router is its size. It's pretty big and weighs about 6-7 pounds. I think my previous router was about half that size. Give it a year or two, and new routers with the same or better features will be lighter and more compact, I'm sure. But for now, this is it.
This thing is fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone who has need of a powerful router (for covering a large area, multiple devices, gaming/streaming use, etc.). However, it's probably not necessary for the average home. Also, keep in mind that even the best router is only as good and capable as the modem it's connected to. If you have a low-end, cheaper modem, you will not receive the full benefits of this (or any) router.

No, it has to be upright in the portrait position. It doesn't work in landscape, and the phone bumps into the charging location for the Apple Watch when in landscape anyway.

I'm have AT&T but plan on ordering through Best Buy because of $100 gift card. Why is it not showing up in my cart but Chromecast is? Do you have to activated it through Verizon to get the gift card?
The Google Pixel is exclusive to Verizon, so you won't be able to buy it with an AT&T account.
