Leave no dirt behind with this Shark APEX vacuum. Its DuoClean operation uses a soft brush roll and powerful suction to pick up large debris and stuck-in dust, and its Powered Lift-Away technology provides extended reach underneath furniture. This Shark APEX vacuum prevents captured irritant particles from escaping thanks to its Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology.BR>

AMAZINGLY POWERFUL, VERSATILE & QUIET

I Love my new SHARK AX951
From unboxing to complete assembly, it only took me about 5 minutes or so! You only have to snap/lock together 4 parts! Very simple and straight-forward.
The first thing I noticed is that it does have a little weight, BUT is much lighter than my old canister vacuum.
But Wait, There is so much more to this awesome vacuum!
Besides the simple assembly, it has a Ton of power, suction & features that will impress even the most skeptical. I know that I am impressed.
- It has a dual roller system in the power-head (motorized floor nozzle) and has an easy release door for easy access to the rollers for ease of cleaning and maintenance. Also a lighted indicator to show you the status if it is working or not or needs cleaning. AND 2 LED Headlights!
- There are 3 settings for floor types:
1.Bare Floors (Hardwood/Linoleum/Tile)
2.Low Pile Carpet (Has the strongest suction *but all are strong)
3.High Pile Carpet
- Tons of Power & Suction (11.3A) But is very quiet considering! A Big plus for me!
- It comes with 4 attachments (Tools)
1. Dual purpose Duster/Crack & Crevice (retractable duster brush on tool)
2. Dual purpose Pet Multi-Tool that has a removable stiff brush to convert to a great tool that I use on furniture and drapes.
3. An Anti-Allergen Brush/Wand that removes dust from even delicate surfaces!
4. An Extendable Long Under Appliance Wand that also has angle adjustments.

The "Dirt Cup/Motor" or Pod is removable so you can conveniently get under furniture easily and also to use for other cleaning tasks such as drapes, ceilings, stairs, furniture etc....
You can also purchase other attachments and there is also an optional Caddy available which will carry your Pod and all Tools which in essence changes this into a canister vacuum for another convenience!
You can attach any of the Tools to either, just the handle for close-up controlled cleaning OR leave the Wand attached to the handle and all Tools also attach to it for a longer reach.
It has a great filtration system that Shark boasts emits 10X less particles than the "Sealed HEPA Standards Requirements" Sounds great for all of us that are prone to dust allergies for sure!
Oh, I forgot to mention that when used as an upright (with the power nozzle/power head) That it turns around corners effortlessly just like a "Ball" type vacuum. It also has a very long cord which is great.
I also found it easier to wind the power cord around the hooks IF you remove the Tool on that side.
All parts are easily removed or attached for versatility and to empty Pod dirt cup as well.

I would recommend everyone looking for a great powerful vacuum to have a look at this one. It is the very best that I have owned

Take your productivity to a new level with this Dell XPS tower PC. The Intel i7-7700 processor and 16MB of RAM provide lots of power, while the easy-open chassis and expansion slots are ready for future upgrades. This Dell XPS tower PC has nine USB slots, including seven USB 3.1 ports, and a 1TB hard drive for ample file storage.

My last Dell tower was also an XPS and this 8920 far exceeded my expectations in performance (except the included USB keyboard & mouse) For the price of this unit, Dell most definitely should have included a nice wireless keyboard & mouse but opted for very inexpensive ones. SAD!
BUT, this XPS does come with some super "Bells & Whistles" though.
BUT, this XPS does come with some super "Bells & Whistles" though.
It has a whopping 11 USB ports (2.0, 3.0, 3.1 front and rear), a CD/DVD player/burner, great AC WiFi & bluetooth capability, several extra slots for future upgrades, HDMI and DP ports (1 of each of those), surround and subwoofer LFE ports, headphone & microphone ports and more.
It comes powered with Intel i7-7700 CPU processor which is super fast and 16GB of RAM which can be expandable up to 64GB.
It has a new tech 'Optane' accelerated 1TB hard drive.
You will have plenty of Speed. Power & Local Storage to tackle multiple tasks in quick order.
It is also upgradable with the 4 extra slots which should carry you well into the near future easily.
The OS is Windows 10 and also comes with a 12 mo. subscription of McAfee LiveSafe and MS Office 30 day trial.

The exhaust cooling fan is located at the top of the tower and is extremely quiet!
The Audio software is Waves MaxxAudio Pro and sounds great with the sound bar I am using.

There is a latch/lever on the rear to easily open the chassis via a whole side panel for easy access to install upgrades, cleaning or repairs (Hopefully NO repairs will be necessary)
IMO this computer will survive many years as my last Dell XPS did!

LG’s SJ7 Sound Bar Flex offers endless entertainment from a versatile dual-speaker design: The two main speakers can be placed in front of the TV, or to the left/right vertically or in front of and behind the listener for an even more cinematic experience. Both speakers are Bluetooth, and the right unit has a built-in battery, so it can work independently just about anywhere.

MORE THAN JUST A SOUND BAR!
on August 16, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
Upon unboxing, I can tell you this systems aesthetics are great!
The set-up and pairing was easy and seemless for me.
There are 3 speaker components with this system:
-Primary
-Secondary and
-Sub-Woofer
The set-up and pairing was easy and seemless for me.
There are 3 speaker components with this system:
-Primary
-Secondary and
-Sub-Woofer
During my preliminary testing, I noticed that the Sub-Woofer didn't seem to produce much sound at low volume levels (under 11 out of 40 max) but was there and it sounded good.....THEN as I approached a volume level of about 16 and higher, the Sub really kicked in and sounded great! Unfortunately it does not have a volume control for it separately.
I will say that the entire system as a whole can get quite loud and sounds excellent at all volumes I tried with no noticeable distortion. Perfect for any genre of movie or music or even talk!
The system is very versatile in the different ways you can use it, which makes it much more desirable than your typical 'sound bar'
The Sub is bluetooth/wireless and can be set anywhere in the room (as far as bluetooth will reach that is) but must be plugged into an AC outlet which is no biggy for me.
The main sound bar set is comprised of 2 identical speakers in looks and sound, a Primary and a Secondary and both come with their respective power cords and bases that you can attach to stand them vertically or remove for a horizontal configuration. AND they do look great!
The Secondary speaker is the most versatile part of the system in my opinion because it has a selector switch located on the rear that allows you to switch between 3 modes of usage as follows:
1. Sound Bar - acts as the 'Right Channel' in a left and right speaker system
2. Rear - as a rear speaker (set behind you) for surround sound, and
3. Portable - as a stand alone portable speaker that you can tote along with you to pair separately with any bluetooth device anywhere since it has a rechargeable battery that should last at least 4 hours or more. But, you can also tote the power cord along with you and play indefinitely.
This system does come with a 4' Optical cable as well but also has connections for HDMI & HDMI ARC (HDMI cable not included) HDMI is 1.4 so you know it won't pass 4K/60p or HDR
*With the very affordable cost of this system, I am VERY Impressed with the quality of sound and clarity it produces, I am very happy!

Great 'Real Time' Security
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
Initial set-up was quick and easy. Just D/L the mobile app. I used iOS but this camera works also with Andriod OS as well.
-Camera has great 1080p resolution in real time with a 180 degree field of view which is definitely a plus.
-Also has 'Night Vision' which does work in very little to practically no light. This is exceptionally helpful for sure!
-You can use this indoors or even outdoors since it is weatherproof
-You get a Free 24 hour viewable storage (cloud) but you can upgrade this feature to mass storage as a premium for a fee with a subscription.
There is also a 'Quick 30 second viewing" which is basically a re-cap of the past 24 hrs. so that you can quickly view important captures without having to sit through hours of viewing.
-additional Smart alerts to your mobile are available if you subscribe to them.
*I have the wired version and I found out that I can convert this to wireless (rechargeable battery adaptor) or adapt to a wall plug-in or a window mount....BUT all of these items are "accessories' and will cost you additional money!
I have not looked into any of the costs for the subscriptions or accessories for now because I currently do not need them for my purposes with this security camera but I can say that overall, this is a fantastic security camera that has true audio and color in real time and works great!
I forgot to mention that this camera also has a 2-Way 'Talk & Listen' feature so you can hear noises or what is being said around your camera AND you can also talk and anyone near it will hear you as well.

Superb Sound - Comfortable Fit
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
After unboxing, I immediately paired with my cell, my cordless landline set & my iMac Retina desktop (which I spend a ton of time at)
- Pairing with ALL these devices was quick and very simple. Only a few seconds each.
There are 3 'Ear Tip' sizes included and I tried all 3 and glad I did!
*When I tried the small size, it felt comfortable but I didn't feel I was getting the quality of sound I'd expected
-So I switched to the large size and the sound improved quite a bit but I felt this size would become uncomfortable after a short time
-So..... I changed to the medium size and just like 'Goldilocks & the 3 Bears', this was Perfect for me and changed my whole view of the quality of these bluetooth in-ear headphones!!!
* The sound was Tremendously Improved at least 10-Fold!
**The Bottom Line is you will truly love the quality of the JBL Pro Sound (and the comfort) when properly fitted in your ear! Trust me on this.

In regards to the hands-free calls I've used this for, ALL calls, whether on my cell or landline were crystal clear up to about 30' away without any complaints from those I spoke to (or myself)
-These do have an internal 'Noise-Cancelling' Microphone which I'm sure is "Guilty" of the crystal clarity of calls
-And the controls to answer/end calls was just a push of the same button.
**My Bottom Line--> I find these to be very comfortable to the point I can wear them for long periods
-->I Love the quality of sound (YES, Including the Bass)
especially I love to crank up Rock/Metal Guitar Jams and I am very satisfied with the sound quality that I enjoy!

Diverse Functionality
on July 1, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
The feel of this new MX is a little 'light' but is comfortable and you will easily get used to it in no time.
It has a smart feel to it as well with all of it's versatile features. You will need to D/L their software and then you will be able to customize the way you can use the buttons and what they will be used for. Cool feature for sure!
With 1 click of the scroll wheel, you will change from regular scroll to a 'Hyper-Scroll' which is definitely extremely useful when scrolling through long documents as I often do. Click the wheel again to return to regular scrolling.
You can use this mouse on up to 3 computers at the same time even if they are a combination of Windows based or Mac (I haven't tried 4 computers yet...never know huh?) Anyhow, if you intend to do this, first D/L the software for the mouse to each and then you will be able to copy/paste or cut/paste from 1 computer to 1 of the others (if you have them on the SAME network).
I have found the features of this mouse to be very time saving for my needs and would recommend it to anyone who multitasks across 2-3 systems and want to save a ton of time. This mouse certainly creates Shortcuts for me!

Toss this waterproof LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker in the pool and watch it float. The crisp audio doesn't stop for snow, dirt or ice, and this Bluetooth-enabled speaker can withstand a drop from 1.2m. The battery of this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker keeps going for 15 hours, and it charges your phone while it's playing.

Tough, Versatile & Loud
on June 27, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
On unboxing the AQ11, I was impressed that it looked great and had substantial weight to it. In my experience/opinion, audio electronics that are solid and have weight to them generally are of really good quality and usually last a long time when taken care of.
My test run:
The battery already had approx. a 50% charge and only took about 2 hrs. to reach 100%. Battery level is shown just below the power button as 4 'Dots' and each 'Dot' represents 25% charge. The appropriate light, according to charge, will continually flash until 100% charge is reached and all 4 are lit solid.
Speaker has a mechanical lock switch (lever) that when in the locked position, the controls cannot be operated. An example of this being convenient would be while you have a swimming pool full of guests and have the speaker floating in the pool in the locked position, no changes can be made to your music that is playing by everyone handling the speaker...Unless they unlock it.
It has a watertight compartment (Dry Box) located on the bottom, that you can store items in OR more importantly, can hook your mobile device via 3.5mm audio jack to power up your sounds! There is also a USB where you can charge your device. It fit my cell phone in there fine.
The bluetooth feature allows you to pair with up to 8 different devices.
One cool feature I like is that I paired it with my wireless landline and this speaker allows you to answer the call like a speakerphone. It does so after pausing your music of course and then you hit "Play" to answer and then "Play" to hang up. When you hang up, the music automatically resumes! Very nice! No need to drag the home phone outside with you while you have the AQ11 cranking up the tunes with you! Which brings up another point..... Range of signal....Inside my home, I received great signal for about 57 feet (through 3 walls, furnishings etc..) and about 65 feet away outside in the yard. Pretty impressive without an extender.
On opposite side of power button is the charge port, another 3.5mm audio jack AND a USB pug-in where you can use to charge up your devices....However, you cannot recharge the speaker using a portable charging device (but the speaker charge lasts up to 15 hours) OR you cannot charge 2 different devices using both of these "charge-out" outlets at the same time.
Top controls are: Play, (use this also to play/pause your tunes or to answer calls) volume up/down, track back/forward, bluetooth and source (switch between audio sources)
I am impressed with the volume that I can crank up my music to with this speaker! Much more than I expected. The Bass tones could be improved, but I definitely don't have any complaints especially since it does sound great and the versatility of being water proof, snow, dirt and shock proof make this a "Take-Anywhere" speaker for me for sure and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Great Combo All-In-1
on June 10, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
I really like this combo coffee machine! Much better than having to buy 2 separate ones for sure. Not only saving your counter space, but saving you $$$. It also looks great on my counter-top for sure!
It not only looks great, BUT for the short time I've had it, it makes great pots of coffee and super specialty drinks as well.
I will say that when following the directions of use, for either side (either maker) you should be focused and relaxed and not get frustrated! It may seem a little complicated to some people, but it is just like anything else. Just take your time, be focused and it will be a breeze to learn and be able to use effortlessly in no time!
It took me a couple of "practice runs" to get my brews just the way I like them, but now, a few pots & specialties later, I seem to be mastering this machine easily. It really does make great Caps' and Lattes. Just be mindful of how you put your grind and water into the separate locations and you're good to go!
I'm sure, just like anything else, if taken very well care of, this machine should last you a good long time.
I may come back in a month or so to add to my review for a more definitive one after I get more experience, and more than likely raise from 4 to 5 stars. But so far, I really like this machine!

Luvin My New Grinder

from Bossier City, La
This is an excellent adjustable burr grinder! So far, with all the settings this grinder can adjust to, I've had excellent uniform results from all of the settings I've tried for my different brews.
I am definitely NOT a "Routine, Same Ol' Cup" everyday type of person! I like to brew up a mixture of strengths and types of brews that suits my mood at any given time.
This machine certainly delivers on my spur-of-the-moment needs on how many cups (1 to 14) and the strength of grind that my mind and body are craving. I Love It!
Oh, It also looks great on my counter-top as well.
I would recommend this grinder to any "Coffee Snob" that wants a great machine at a reasonable price!

Great Sound & Comfortable

These AT Wireless Headphones are very comfortable and light. You could easily wear them for hours on end. They do have excellent sound which is certainly high quality. Especially in the mids and highs! Very crisp and clear. Very high grade for sure.
So far, I've only used them as Bluetooth Headphones through my iMac. I do not have an equalizer being run on my computer at all and with that being said, I have 1 drawback on these headphones,,,which is that I am not receiving the Bass sounds proportionately compared to the excellent mids & highs that I do receive.
Don't get me wrong!! The sound I do receive is definitely of high quality that I love and I'm sure if I install an equalizer on my iMac, these headphones will respond excellently I'm very sure.
I will be trying these out next while wired with the included cord and I believe they will produce an exacting sound.
Bottom line, they are great headphones and have excellent sound! I can use in Bluetooth mode and travel at least 30' through my home even with 3 walls of separation with no cut out.
After more trials, I'm pretty sure I will upgrade my score of 4 out of 5, up to a full 5

Stream your favorite shows on this 60-inch Hisense television. Its 3840 x 2160 resolution and 8 ms response time bring scenes to life, and 4K upscaling transforms lower quality video into HD resolution. This Hisense television is equipped with HDMI inputs to connect to a gaming console or Blu-ray player.
Is this TV silver or black
It is completely Black. Bezel and all. I'm not certain if they have a silver version. I hope this helps

Clean every corner of your home with this Hoover Fusion Pet cordless vacuum. The One Pwr lithium battery delivers fade-free power for larger jobs, and fast charging speeds eliminate wait times between cleaning sessions. This Hoover Fusion Pet cordless vacuum includes several attachments for cleaning upholstery, crevices and other hard-to-reach areas.
Mine recently stopped working and I just bought it a minth ago. I’m not sure why. Help!
It may be possible that it has a clog somewhere. Check and clean the rollers and the tube because the vacuum does have a feature to cut off in the event of a clog so that way it will not burn up the motor, Which is a great feature if you ask me.
I do hope this helps and it solves your issue. Thanks

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
The shooting ranges for pistols and long guns, has tremendous loud noises and concussion type noises. I have an early pair of the Sony noise cancelling over the ear headphones and they are useless. My question is if the new Sony WH1000xm2.. would work?
I honestly cannot say for sure about the gun noise if you are the one shooting as I don't have that experience yet BUT Can say that they pretty much cancelled out the noise of the "Directly Overhead" Low Flying B-52 Bombers that fly over my house every day. I live across the street from the base...At the same time, I was cranking up my music at a good volume with these headphones during that experience. I hope that may help some.

What are the differences from these headphones to the original 1000x other than battery life?
You Should Get About 30 Hours of Play Time Wireless and About 40 When Wired. Hope This Helps

Leave no dirt behind with this Shark APEX vacuum. Its DuoClean operation uses a soft brush roll and powerful suction to pick up large debris and stuck-in dust, and its Powered Lift-Away technology provides extended reach underneath furniture. This Shark APEX vacuum prevents captured irritant particles from escaping thanks to its Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology.BR>
How much does it weigh?
BB's website shows that the AX951 weighs 16.1 pounds. I hope this helps

Enjoy your music while training with these Under Armour wireless headphones. These audio devices are sweat proof and have TwistLock technology to keep the earpieces in place through any workout. Designed by JBL, these Under Armour wireless headphones meet the highest audio standards and provide up to 8 hours of battery life to last many workouts.
What's the diference between this and the 149 dollars ones?
In my opinion, When the JBL's are properly fitted to your ear (ie: correct tip size) You will experience awesome sound. The fitment in the ear really makes a world of difference (and should save you money from buying a more expensive headset)

Wake up to a delicious cup of java with this Ninja Coffee Bar glass carafe system. The 10-cup pitcher holds 50 oz. of coffee when entertaining or brews a single cup at a time, prepared at the infusion level of your choice. This Ninja Coffee Bar glass carafe system has a built-in frother for hot and cold drink creations.
What's the difference between this system and the other system (coffee bar brewer, with choice of glass or thermal carafe). Just trying to figure out which to purchase.
From my understanding, the unit with the Thermal Carafe does not have a warming plate on the machine since Ninja states that the insulated thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for 2 hours so it's not needed
