Small but powerful - great for traveling
on March 6, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
I've owned two other products from Therabody. I think the "Mini" version is a great addition to the product lineup. The mini version looks and feels just like the last generation massager. But the mini is a lot more convenient to travel with or throw in a bag and take it with you to a work out. The Therabody app offers some customized workouts but I doubt if I will use those as there are so many alternatives. This next generation product is all about the same high quality massage features and a smaller package. The addition of the accessories is good. In addition to the standard "ball" accessory, the softer ball and "thumb" ball offer great alternatives to work on different areas of your body. It took some experimentation to figure out how to pull the accessory off, but after a few attempts, we figured it out. The battery life on this is excellent as well.
I use this massager before and after exercise. The after workout helps the recovery efforts a lot!
I'm very impressed with this brand at all the products we have used from Therabody. I highly recommend this to anybody in was in the market for a small but powerful massage device.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great solution for hearing enhancment
on November 1, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
My hearing has impacted by way of attending hundreds of rock concerts throughout my life. In particular, when I was in my 20s and 30s in a time where nobody wore earplugs at loud concerts. I'm finding it more difficult to hear what people are saying in a normal conversational tone as well as when I'm out in a restaurant or social event. I'm not sure I'm ready to go to a hearing aid so a hearing enhancement device seemed like a good fit for me.
Now that hearing enhancement devices are being sold over-the-counter I was interested in trying out a pair. I liked the Jabra hearing device since they are more unobtrusive than many of the others on the market. I suppose a positive takeaway is that it looks like you are wearing earbuds and not a hearing aid. I've also enjoyed other Jabra products and believe they manufacture quality products.
I downloaded the Jabra app and found the setup process was good. I did encounter a bit of trouble trying to pair the earbuds to my phone. The app said to look for the flashing blue lights on the earbuds, then "click next" on the app. The "click next" button didn't appear despite both earbuds were blinking with a blue light. Fortunately, the app automatically took me into a manual pairing process that went quite smoothly and I was able to pair the device successfully.
The app then walked me through a hearing test that was simple and intuitive. Based on the hearing test, the app automatically customized the settings on my earbuds.
I like the fact that Jabra includes different sized ear gels to get a custom fit for the earbuds. For me, the standard size worked great.
I've only been able to use the earbuds for a day or so. I find that my hearing is definitely enhanced when wearing the earbuds. I was able to hear conversations, TV and sounds around my home better when I have them in. The downside for me is when I have them in when I'm eating or drinking. The sound I hear is similar to when you put your hands over your ears. Everything is internalized and enhanced inside my head. Perhaps I will get used to this, but a better solution for me is to take them out when I'm eating/drinking.
When I'm on the phone or listening to music through the earbuds, I find the sound quality to be quite good. I'd say the sound quality is equal to my Apple Ear Pods and maybe better.
I believe this device is a great intermediary step before you need to get a full-blown hearing aid. They are expensive, but a lot less than a decent set of hearing aids.

Great speaker - poor app
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
I've owned a lot of bluetooth speakers throughout the years. Pound-for-pound, this Sonos speaker has the best quality of any speaker I've ever owned. The design is elegant and the wireless charging unit is simple and unobtrusive.
Pairing the unit to my phone was easy. My biggest issue with Sonos is not with the quality of this speaker but how (and why) they force customers to use the Sonos app to play music/audio through the device. I want to be able to use my iTunes app to find music, play music, change music, get information about the artist and much more. I don't want to use the Sonos app to control my music. The Sonos app and user experience is poor compared to the iTunes app and interface. Why does Sonos think their app should stand between their speaker customers and the preferred music provider of their choice. They make a great speaker but they don't make a good app.
In speaking to other Sonos owners, they all have the same issue. I believe Sonos should rethink how they force their customers to use their app.
To be clear, this is a great speaker and if you don't have a problem using the Sonos app to control your music, I highly recommend this speaker.

Good and solid case - great value!
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
I wanted to get a second case for my new iPhone 14 Pro Max. I've purchased silicone cases in the past as I believe they protect the phone very well. I particularly like the "grippy" feeling that silicone provides. I have a constant fear that my $1,200 phone will slide out of my fingers when I take it out of my pocket. The silicone provides a strong connection between my fingers and the phone without being too sticky like some rubbery cases can be. The downside to silicone cases can be the amount of dust the case can pick up. I found no difference between the Insignia silicone and the Apple silicone. I find that a damp wipe works great to clean off the surface of the case. I keep a supply of them in my car.
The MagSafe feature of the case works as intended. I can set my phone up on my charger stand and there is an instant strong connection between the charger and the phone.
The case design is fairly simple, but I look at that as a positive as it draws less attention to the phone. The price on this is very good compared to other cases on the market.

That's why Neato's D-shape allows for a 70% larger brush than those found in round robots along with an industry-leading 0.70 liter dirt bin that holds more dirt between cleanings. Neato's D9 offers corner-to-corner and edge-to-edge cleaning in a short amount of time and its unique Helix multi-surface brush is now 50% quieter on hard surfaces.

Neato continues to improve their technology
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
This is my second Neato vacuum. I loved the first one (a D7) but gave it to our daughter. The D9 vacuum is even better. It has significantly more battery power. The old vacuum had to go back to the charging base three times to finish the job. The new D9 didn't have to return to the base for recharging. It ran for a full 160 minutes which finished the job. That was a great surprise.
The D9 is also quieter than the old version and seems to have better intelligence built in to navigate around chair legs and furniture. Dirt storage capacity has also increased slightly which minimizes the times the vacuum has to stop to have the dirt bin cleaned out. I also like the smaller charging base on the new model.
Like most electronic devices these days, the app can sometimes be buggy as it seemed to lose connectivity with the device on our initial trial run, but it quickly resolved. An additional feature i like is the ability to do zone cleaning as some areas of the house need cleaning more than others.
In short, this new model is a great improvement on an already great product.

Quality wireless headphones
on May 7, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
from Phoenix, Az
How Often Used:3-5 times a week
I've owned the Apple Earbud 1st generation since they came out. The battery life has dwindled on them so I needed a replacement. I have a Marshall wireless speaker unit which I enjoy a lot. The company is doing a nice job of branding the Marshall name on some quality products.
I've used these wireless headphones for over a week now and believe they are a quality device. The audio quality exceeded my expectations and the comfort level is excellent - especially with the choice of sizes for your ears.
Battery life has also exceeded my expectations as I was running them for over 4 hours without the need to charge them. I put them into the charging base after a four hour use and didn't need to charge them again for several days.
Connecting them to my phone was simple and in line with most other quality bluetooth devices. I believe these are quality headphones and a value at this price point. The Marshall branding also provide a source for conversation when people see the store/charging unit.

Quality mattress for the price
on February 14, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
from Buckeye, AZ
Having purchased many different brands of mattresses throughout my life, I’ve grown to trust Serta to provide a good quality mattress for a fair price. This 10” Gel Memory foam mattress did not disappoint.
With all of the start-up mattress brands in the market, it’s tough to determine who provides a differentiated mattress. Serta has now entered the gel foam market and has developed a quality mattress.
We took our time unboxing the mattress as we knew we should place the box in the bedroom where the mattress will be used. We are using box springs underneath the Serta so we placed the mattress right on top of the box springs after we got it out of the box. We watched some unboxing videos to better-understand our approach and have learned to use the cutting tool supplied by Serta instead of your own scissors. This will reduce the risk of cutting the mattress. Once we opened the seal and let the mattress start opening up, it took quite a while for it to start coming to life. By the end of the first day, it started to look like something we could sleep on but it did take several days for it to get to the full 10” thickness. It also took a few days for the “new gel mattress” smell to dissipate. We let the mattress air out a few days before we put bedding on it.
The quality of the material is excellent. It looks like a modern foam mattress and seems to be very durable. The quality of the shipping materials were also excellent. The instructions were easy to follow and informative.
We like a medium-firmness mattress and believe this delivers as promised. Once we had our first few nights on the mattress, we woke up the next morning with no back or neck pain. Minimizing back pain is probably the biggest factor for me in choosing the firmness that works for me.

ILLUMINATING EYE MASSAGER As the eye contour has delicate skin that is up to 5 times thinner than facial skin along with muscles that can be overworked through blinking 10,000 times a day and movement every 10 seconds, the area is very prone to signs of stress, lack of sleep and aging. The IRISTM, with its innovative Alternating T-SonicTM Technology was specially developed as an answer to the strains the eye contour undergoes to bring every user refreshed, younger-looking eyes.

Nice design, but the results are still unknown
on February 6, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
from Buckeye, AZ
I got this for my wife so I'll be sharing her thoughts on this device. The Foreo Eye Massager is an interesting addition to her skin care regime. The instructions were not very clear so we turned to an online video from the manufacturer to learn how to use it. It took some time to figure out how to find the right speed/intensity for the massaging action. The fastest setting is way too fast and difficult to control. She landed on one of the lower settings. She's been using it for over a week now but it is difficult to say if she has noticed any improvement. She will continue to use it as part of her skin care routine and we will update the review in the weeks ahead.

The average person touches their phone 2,617 times per day, transferring germs to it with each touch. The simplehuman EPA-registered cleanstation uses an omni-lux™ chamber to sanitize the entire surface of your phone, killing 99.9% of germs in just 30 seconds – fast enough to use while washing your hands. As soon as you insert your phone, it automatically lowers into the omni-lux chamber where 30 high-intensity UV-C LED lights use highly reflective aluminum to ensure UV rays are hitting the entirety of your phone's surface. When sanitation is complete, the phone will automatically raise up. Keep your cleanstation by the sink so you can wash your hands with simplehuman's touch-free sensor pump while sanitizing your phone at the same time.

Very elegant and easy-to-use solution
on January 25, 2022
Posted by: Nabob
from Buckeye, AZ
I've read many articles and seen several TV news stories about how much dirt and bacteria accumulates on your phone throughout the day. Some of the stories talk about how disgusting some of the things are that end up on your phone. There are several solutions on the market to clean your phone. I believe Simple Human has created an elegant solution for cleaning your phone.
I liked the contemporary look & feel of this device. It can sit on a desk, dresser, or counter and fit right in with your home decor. The device could not be any simpler to operate. You slide your phone into the slot on the top, then the machine lowers your phone into the device. It seemed like only seconds later, the device chimed and my phone emerged from the device. The movement of the phone in and out of the device is very elegant.
It's difficult to really know how well the ultraviolet rays clean/sanitize your phone but if you believe the specs on the device, your phone will be much cleaner after dipping it into the phone sanitizer.
This is a great product.

Well-designed
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: Nabob
from Mason City, IA
This is a very well-designed water bottle. The bottle keeps cool beverages cool and hot beverages hot for many hours. It's difficult to tell if the UV rays truly sanitize the liquid in the bottle or the empty bottle itself without lab testing so I'll go with the specs on the device to determine that.
It took some time to get the right level of tapping pressure on the top of the bottle to control the on/off function versus the UV function. The instruction book is useless as it was written in such small font it is unreadable for anyone under 30. The video produced by the company was a better way to understand how to control the features of this device.
My biggest negative comment is the black color. When the sun was shining on the bottle during a 67 degree day, the rim of the bottle was quite hot when I put it up to my lips despite having a cold beverage in the bottle. Black is probably not a good color for this technology. I suggest ordering a lighter color bottle if that is an option for you.
I'm not sure the world needs a "smart" water bottle when there are so many "analog" water bottles on the market that don't need to be recharged. If nothing else, it is a unique product for anyone who likes to lead a "smart" lifestyle.
