Best Buy's price is good.

If you have the cleaning/charging base that needs these, I found a better deal at Best Buy than I could find anywhere else. Norelco's system works very well, so I always keep a couple of these ready to go to keep my system running.

A nice match for the HP Spectre notebook.

I'll admit that I bought the HP Spectre 13 notebook computer partially due to its looks, which are great. It's also a very nice, lightweight notebook. I've thought about getting this mouse that matches its cosmetics, and finally pulled the trigger and grabbed one the other day. It's actually a very competent, compact mouse -- a very good match for the computer, and it takes up very little room in my notebook bag. I really like the button action, and how easy it is to turn it on and off when I use it.

I'm quite happy with this.

I've been shaving with electric shavers my entire adult life, and I've gone through quite a few of them. The Norelco 7300 does a fine job, and it has lived up to its billing as being for "sensitive" faces. But what I'm liking more than anything is the clean and charge base, which is by far the best design I've ever experienced. I've had bases that droned on and on for an entire hour, I've had others that strongly advised that you needed to pull the shaver out of them after they have finished charging, and so on. But this one is "just right" -- it is easy to control, it is nice and quiet, and it only takes around ten minutes to complete the cleaning job. It also gives you the option to just charge the shaver, if you don't want to clean it, and you can just clean it without charging it, if you simply don't push the "top" down to connect with the shaver. And it's perfectly fine to just go ahead and clean and charge the shaver, then leave the shaver right there in the base overnight so it's ready to go in the morning. Perfect.

A good wrist tracker.
on January 18, 2017
Posted by: thoots
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Charge 2 is the first Fitbit wrist tracker that has appealed to me. I've used the little Fitbit One for several years, but its "pop it into your pocket" nature has led to it taking one too many trips through the washing machine, as I've forgotten to take it out of my pants pocket before washing them.
Actually, this is my second Charge 2 -- I was so happy with my first one, I decided to pop for the deluxe Gunmetal version. And yes, I do like the looks of it. However, it turned out that it had an issue:
With a firmware update you can install shortly after you set up the device, you can have the Charge 2 show a battery percentage indicator. Unfortunately, that ALWAYS read 100% on this Gunmetal device, while it worked just fine with my older, "normal" Charge 2. Also, when you plug the Charge 2 in its charging cradle, it's supposed to show an animated "battery charging" icon on the screen, but once again, the Gunmetal device would just show that it was already at 100%.
The usual fix for something like this is to do a "reset," which only takes a few seconds -- you plug the Charge 2 into its cradle, then hold down the button for about five seconds. And after a reset, both the battery percentage indicator and the charging indicator worked properly. Until the next day, when they went back to being stuck at 100%.
So, something wasn't right there. Looking in the Fitbit forum, there were certainly other folks having the same problem, but it didn't seem to be widespread, by any means. Still, all you can do is that "reset" routine, and do you want to do that every day? Since I had my old Charge 2 that worked just fine, I just decided to return this one, and continue using my old one.
In the end, this issue isn't that big of a deal -- perhaps I could have exchanged it for another Gunmetal device that would have worked just fine. And some folks have found that their devices that had the problem eventually started working properly. The main point I need to end with is that I sure find the Charge 2 to be an ideal activity tracker:
The size and the display are "just right" -- not too big, but big enough to show you the information you want to see. And you can choose what information you want to see on the display, in just about every way you could imagine. I have found the step counting and the exercise tracking to be very accurate. And I have also found the heart rate tracking to be accurate -- I exercise twice a week at a special gym in our local hospital, where we are encouraged to use a pulse oximeter before, during, and after our exercise sessions. So, that's something I always do, with their professional, hospital-grade oximeters. And the pulse readings are often EXACTLY THE SAME between the oximeter and my Charge 2, or, if not exact, the Charge 2 is usually only a beat or two different. I certainly consider that to be accurate enough!
So, I highly recommend the Charge 2. I've taken one star off because I had a little problem with this one, but that doesn't change my recommendation that this is an excellent tracker.

Good mouse, good concept.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually returned this mouse because I found it a bit "bulkier" than I preferred, but that's just "personal preference" rather than any knock against the mouse. But I can certainly write a review and put this mouse into perspective:
Over the years, I have certainly come to prefer Logitech's mice. Frankly, my favorite mouse for many years has been its "MX Anywhere" mouse, a rather spendy mouse that has one slight problem: It just plain wears out over time, and starts malfunctioning just enough to make life miserable. And actually, Logitech has come out with a "new, improved" version of that mouse, which I tried and definitely didn't like as much as the older one. I was able to find one of the older ones the last time I needed a replacement, but that option is long gone by now. So, I thought I'd give this one a try.
It's certainly not a bad mouse in any way, and it has the novel feature that allows you to use it with three different computers over Bluetooth. Though, I have to say that I usually use my notebook computers "along with my desktop computer" -- my normal usage means that I really do need a different mouse for each computer. Otherwise, I suppose this feature has got to be worthwhile to a lot of other folks.
I went through an interesting little setup routine when I installed this mouse on my desktop computer: It's "Bluetooth," and my computer doesn't have Bluetooth. But, since it showed that it comes with a dongle that has a Bluetooth logo on it, I figured I could indeed install it on my desktop computer.
Well, surprise number 1 came when I went looking for the dongle -- the package just shows a PICTURE of it, and in fact it's contained within the mouse, under the slider you have to pull out to change the battery. This is one of those things that the "pictures-only" instructions could have clarified in a couple of seconds, by using just a handful of words. But no.
Surprise #2 came when I plugged the dongle into my computer -- I got an "Oh, no, you can only use one dongle at a time." I still had my old dongle plugged into the computer, because I also use a Logitech wireless keyboard. In the end, this is all part of Logitech's "Unifying" hardware and software, and what I finally comprehended was that all of those "Unifying" dongles actually HAVE BLUETOOTH -- I didn't need to use the new dongle at all, as my old one provided the Bluetooth connection I needed.
Ultimately, though, I wasn't quite satisfied with the feel of the mouse, and I wound up returning it. Not only was it a bit bulkier than I preferred, but the buttons weren't quite stiff enough to deal with a little personal issue I've always had: I always tend to rest my "right mouse finger" on the right-side button, which often leads to unintended right mouse clicks. Like a lot of mice these days, this has "nothing but buttons" all the way to the edges, and the buttons weren't otherwise stiff enough to keep away the inadvertent right-clicks.
In the end, I found a different Logitech mouse -- the M10 Advanced -- which not only felt better in my hand, but also has the buttons "inset" inside an outer shell, which really allows me to rest my finger without activating unintended right clicks. So, that one was "just right," instead of this one.
So, that's my story. This is a fine mouse, but I prefer the M510.

It's the whole series, but...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Married With Children is certainly one of my favorite TV shows of all time. In reality, I haven't watched "network prime time TV" for years, and I stopped watching (in favor of more "documentary" type programs on cable channels) shortly after Married With Children completed its run.
So, it's good to have the entire series, and the price is certainly right. Though, I'm taking off a star for the cheapness of everything, as a lot of other reviewers have already mentioned. I actually wonder if the video quality has been reduced in order to make all of the episodes fit onto the discs -- with usually 12 episodes per disc, that seems to be more episodes per disc than previous releases of the show put on each disc. I haven't found any way to verify that, though.
In the end, the series is well worth watching all over again, and I've found myself stuck binge-watching episode after episode after episode a number of times already. And it's certainly at a price point where you can afford to get the whole series, no doubt about that!
