Flawlessly connected, Fiercely protected. Austere is moving beyond the primary function of providing power, to a place where performance, safety, and design come together to define what you should expect in power. Using our PureFiltration technology, Austere Power cleans noise and artifacts, that can travel through power lines and keeps them from impacting your devices. In addition, the Omniport USB provides rapid charge and protection for low-voltage devices. Austere also employs flameless MOV circuits and thermal protected outlets, keeping you safe from a home electrical fire. And if anything were to happen, our Component Guarantee promises to protect your equipment from damage, regardless of its value, whenever your devices are plugged into an Austere Power product. And because how it looks is as important as what it does, Austere’s proprietary aDesign philosophy elevates function through purposeful engineering and sleek design. Our surge protector power strips have a brushed aluminum housing, which creates an elegant way to power your home electronic devices. Always. Not all power is created equal. You may not know it, but your surge protectors can wear out over time. Joules–the protective layer of energy that defends your components–are finite. And when they are gone, it leaves your system completely unprotected from shock or surge. Traditional surge protectors only last a year or two so if you can’t remember when you last refreshed your home’s power, it’s likely time to do it now. And to take out the guesswork of when your Austere Power needs to be replaced, the blue protection shield icon on the Power unit will cease to illuminate once the Joules have been used. But that won’t happen for a long time because Austere Power is rated to last more than five times as long as most power products and guarantees to safeguard your system with our Component Guarantee.

Protect your high end tech
on July 5, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
This is for sure a luxury item. And I would say that no, not everyone needs this product. It’s for those who have higher end computers, TVs, sound systems, etc. If you have your average computer or TV setup, honestly, this is overkill.
BUT if you have a high tech setup, maybe a gaming computer or surround system that use a lot of power, then this surge protector may well be worth the cost. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, especially when it came to the unboxing (see pictures). This is a quality, luxury product meant to accompany other luxury products and protect them.
To be honest, I don’t feel like there’s a whole lot more to say about it. It’s a surge protector. You plug things into it, either through the electrical outlets, USB, or USB – C ports. It’s a heavy product, which again I’d say goes towards its level of quality. Plus, it offers a lifetime warranty, something totally unheard of for this type of product.
Bottom line is this, if you have a high quality computer and or entertainment setup, this is a worthwhile product, and I’ve rated it according to that.

Can’t go wrong with Norton
on July 3, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
I’ve had Norton on computers pretty much as long as I’ve had computers. They’ve been around a long time and in my experience, they just keep improving. In my time using Norton both past and present, their antivirus software has never failed to detect threats, and either block them or remove them from my computer.
Over the years and with this current version of Norton 360, their dashboard makes using the software very simple. It runs regular scans in the background but also does more in-depth scans, and now they offer dark web monitoring as well. That part is a little scary simply because I have already gotten some alerts about my email address being out there, but if you know these things, at least you can take precautions.
As far as getting the software on your computer, gone are the days of needing a CD to download it of course. You simply make the purchase and receive your product key and enter it on their website. The download starts immediately and it’s a pretty quick process.
One of the newer features that I just recently found is their aggressive scan options. You can run scans of your whole computer, of individual files, and of various programs before or after you download them onto your computer. Norton scans for the more common things, which in their case is very thorough anyway. However, they now offer aggressive scans that can scrub your computer if you have any serious concerns about lingering threats. You do have to be careful with this because the software could potentially remove things you actually need or want to keep on your computer. But in most cases things like that can be download it again if needed, and this offers additional peace of mind. I’ve used other antivirus software (usually because it was free with a computer purchase or something) but always end up coming back to Norton. Highly recommend getting and sticking with them.

Sleek thermostat
on June 26, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
Initial set up of the Mysa thermostat in terms of removing my old thermostat and replacing with this one was pretty straightforward. However, although the Mysa is supposed to be compatible with many different setups, I did have some initial connection issues. It was fairly simple to overcome these issues though (just took some trial and error with the connection codes you may need to enter), and once connected I haven’t experienced any other issues.
I’m using the Mysa as straight thermostat. It is aesthetically appealing with a very minimalist and sleek design. It blends in, which I like since my thermostat is located in a well traveled area of the home. One thing that had taken a little getting used to in comparison to my previous thermostats is you have to operate mainly from the app versus having all of the controls on the thermostat itself. This isn’t a big issue, just something to get used to. The app itself is simple to use and programming it for schedules has been very smooth. For a standard thermostat, I found this to be a good option.

Sleek design and performance
on June 13, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
I was excited to try this 6 ounce Ember cup because I’m actually not a fan of the larger mugs. I never drink that much hot coffee or tea so it just felt like overkill to me. The smaller option is perfect for those who want a strong cup of sipping coffee/espresso or tea. I also love the handleless design as it gives it a more contemporary and sleek look and feel.
I tend to be more of an iced coffee drinker, so when I do want something hot it’s usually a good cup of espresso or maybe a strong cup of tea. Either way I like to sip it slowly and savor it which means that even in a small cup by the end it’s usually not nearly as warm as I want it to be. The Ember fixed that problem and still allowed me to have my small sipping cup.
Set up of both the cup and app is pretty much a no-brainer. The process is very straightforward and not overly complicated, which is an underappreciated touch these days, in my opinion. As cool (hot?) as the Ember is, it’s still a cup, so let’s not make it too difficult, right? Mission accomplished.

Good but pricey
on May 17, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
These Marshall true wireless headphones are good but they’re not great. I felt like every test of quality held up but it didn’t blow me away. Aesthetically these look good. They have a sleek design and quality case, so that’s always a good start. Sound quality was also there, but again, it didn’t wow me or stand out more than other headphones I have used from other well-known brands. It was also weird because call quality as far as sound didn’t seem as good as music quality. Maybe that’s Marshall’s guitar amp background coming through?
I also found the app simple to use, and it made set up and connection a straightforward process. However, I would say that’s pretty typical these days unless there are some super new features to make it stand out comparing headphones/Bluetooth apps is pretty much the same across the board these days in my opinion. I think the bottom line is that these are good headphones but the price makes them only average. I think there are better headphones at this particular price point and Marshall’s might be reaching a bit here.

At Home Professional Facial
on May 17, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
I’ve had quite a few facials over the years and received a number of different treatments with light and topicals to treat hormonal acne. Well it’s too early to say exactly how this whole work overtime to help with the acne, the experience of using the TheraFace Pro was fantastic and comparable to a professional facial. Was it the exact same? No, of course not. But I have used other at home devices and this one comes closest to an “at home professional” facial.
The light and massage settings are amazing and super simple to use. I have a TheraGun massager which is top notch and so had high hopes here. It did not disappoint. The light therapy it uses helps kill bacteria, and this is a common tool in professional facials. I loved the added percussive therapy though as well which added an extra relaxing element, basically massaging your face through the whole thing. I’m hopeful the blue light therapy in particular will continue to be helpful in my fight against acne.
This is a pricey item but keep in mind that one professional, medical graze facial can cost $200 and more. So this very quickly makes up that difference.

Good for starter or casual gaming
on April 30, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
Please don’t let the title of this review fool you into thinking this is not a good laptop. It is a good laptop, it just isn’t necessarily a top-of-the-line, fastest on the market, etc. laptop that very serious gamers would want to consider. It has some awesome tech built into it, but somehow the feel of it was off for me when it came to a true gaming experience. I think the main reason for that is I found the screen resolution/color to be disappointing. Things seemed almost washed out in comparison to my separate gaming monitor and just other computers and TVs I’ve used.
The other two items I found to be a bit lacking are not a huge deal when gaming IF you plan on using peripherals. The trackpad is a little finicky. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to touchscreens these days, but I felt like you had to push way too hard to get it to respond. That made it using it feel kind of “clunky”. The speakers aren’t terrific either, but I suppose most laptops don’t typically offer the best sound. However, I always use a separate mouse and almost always have headphones or a headset. If you plan to use these, the drawbacks of the trackpad and speakers basically go away.
Now, all of that aside, this is still an excellent laptop. It has a great processor, refresh rates are up to par, and although it can get loud, the cooling fans are pretty standard and I didn’t notice any lag. The big thing to consider here is the price point of this laptop. It’s tough to find a good gaming laptop at this price. So, although it’s not perfect and has room for improvement, it’s not a bad way to go for a new and/or causal gamer. It’s also a great laptop for everyday use (just be sure to get that separate mouse!)

Not up to par
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
I wanted to love this, but I really don’t feel like it’s up to par with other Sonicare products. I’ve had Sonicare products including my current power toothbrush that I really enjoy using and feel like truly do an exceptional job of keeping my teeth clean and healthy. However, I really don’t get that same sense of quality from this product.
It looks nice and is a good compact size, so that it doesn’t take up too much counter space. Set up was also super easy and was finished in seconds. I do like that, but to be honest, that’s where the the pros pretty much end for me. This product is called a power flosser, but it is a water pick. And it’s not a very powerful water pick. It has four cleaning modes, clean, deep clean, sensitive, and massage. To be honest these seem like nothing more than a marketing gimmick to me. For example, the deep clean mode simply pulses and produces less water. I found it an incredibly irritating setting to use because I felt like I had to keep going back over places to make sure I didn’t miss anything. The sensitive mode was even worse as it literally reduced the water pressure and then increased it back-and-forth. I suppose if you really are just trying to moisten your teeth (??), it’s useful, but otherwise not so much.
Lastly, you can adjust the water pressure settings so that it sprays harder. Although it goes from 1 to 10, I found that I had to have it set on 10 all the time to feel like it was at all effective and actually cleaning my teeth. I’ve had other water picks where you had to turn it down because it was almost too much pressure. I would rather have that so that I have options versus having to have it cranked up to the max all the time for it to even kind of work. There are better water picks out there and this was a miss for Sonicare in my opinion.

Perfect for home office AND old photos
on February 22, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a standalone scanner. I’ve been simply using the scanner that’s part of my printer. That’s nice for small jobs but it gets very tedious if you’ve got even five or more pages. I’m working on getting my home office plus all of my personal documents paperless wherever possible. This scanner actually made the task somewhat enjoyable (as much as scanning documents can be).
I had mortgage documents, tax returns, and a slew of other documents cluttering up my office. I was able to get them all scanned in to my home Mac computer in record time. The difference in speed plus the fact that it does in fact do front and back of the page is huge. I had no issues with initial set up or getting it to work with my Mac and haven’t looked back. It’s actually a lot smaller than I was expecting too. I thought I was going to have to get a different stand to hold the scanner and my printer, but this is small enough that they actually both still fit. My office is never looked better and I genuinely am looking forward to getting to use the scanner again.
On that note, I’m hoping to do pictures next. I tried a couple out and they came out beautifully, even some old Polaroids from the 90s. We’ve been going through a lot of old family photos lately, and I’d like to have digital versions to be able to share with other family members and just for easier and safer storage. This scanner is most definitely the answer to that. No complaints, just very happy overall.

Super unique product
on February 8, 2022
Posted by: glspark2007
from Sacramento, CA
This really is a very unique product in my opinion. I’ve had some very nice facials, including medical grade facials as well as peels. I have have to preface this by saying, that is not what this product does. I think I may have gone into using it initially with expectations that were unrealistic. Based on that I was initially unsure about it. However, after using it for several weeks, I have to say that it is a very cool experience and truly is a great skin care product.
I honestly wasn’t sure about having to control it through the app. I like a product that can be supplemented with an app but can operate on its own. The Foreo UFO does need to be used with the app. This is because each of the different masks you can get for it also have their own unique program using different light and heat settings to treat you effectively.
It’s super easy to place the mask on the UFO and it stays in place well. There’s plenty of product in the package with the mask to make sure that it is well hydrated and offers complete coverage. In fact, in most cases I found I could do more than one treatment with one pad, no problem. Once you connect the app to your UFO, you simply select the mask you’re using and the program starts running automatically. You just run the UFO over your face as the app directs you and while it plays relaxing music in the background. The music was actually kind of a nice touch, giving you more of an at home spa experience.
I have found the treatments to be very helpful. I’ve used the make my day hydrating mask and have found that I actually need to use less moisturizer because of it. I’ve also used the youth junkie, intensive renewal mask which is collagen infused. The two masks feel very different, as you would hope given the different treatments they’re for.
My one complaint is I haven’t been able to find some of the masks shown in the app. I’ve looked everywhere, including the Foreo store (available in the app), and it doesn’t appear that they’re available at this time. I hope that they are soon because I would like to try them to address some of the specific skin issues that I deal with.

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.
