super fast & durable

This thunderbolt cable offers high speed data transfer rates and charging with COMPATIBLE devices.
Make sure that your devices connected to the cable are Thunderbolt 3 compatible, to get the advertised maximum speeds.
But don't worry, if your current devices aren't Thunderbolt 3 ready, you can still use the cable for transfers and charging, however the transfer speeds will be limited to the capabilities of the connected devices.

the cable itself is much thicker than most usb cables, yet it is still very pliable. The construction feels very sturdy, and durable.
The advertised max data speeds are 40Gbps which is pretty impressive considering what original usb cables were capable of.
Just to clear something up though, the "Gbps" means Gigabits per second, not GigaBytes. (A small letter "b" indicates bits, where as "B" indicates Bytes.)
Most companies including cell phone companies and internet service providers use the term "bit" in there advertising,..ie.. 10Gbps or 10Mbps.
This is because when sending data, the data is broken down to the smallest increment available, hence bits. Because data varies in size greatly, it is easier to deal with the lowest common denominator for transmissions. Which can be a little misleading for most consumers, as most consumers are thinking about what they know, as in storage devices and Bytes.

When we are talking about hard drives and storage capacities everything is measured in Bytes, as in GigaBytes or MegaBytes.
a bit is 1/8th of a Byte. So technically a 40Gbps transfer speed could move 5GigaBytes in one second, if all the correct requirements are met.

Holds great!

This magnetic car mount actually holds your phone, or similar sized devices very well. The magnet is strong enough to keep everything in place , even over bumpy roads. I use a Galaxy Note 8, which is one of the larger types of cell phones, and I had no issues with my device sliding off, or even down while in use.
Actually the entire mount is very well constructed with a smaller profiled magnet than some of the other mounts out there. I like this because it allows more of my radio and clock to show, when not using my phone.
The pivot point on the small arm, is very snug. It was not too difficult to position for the best viewing angle, and held up great.
They even included a quick clip for locking it into the CD drive.
The mount also comes with a few different sized metal mounting plates, to be installed to the back of your phone or case. It even has a clear sticker to go between your phone and the plate, to avoid any scratching or markings into the back of your phone over prolonged use.
I actually just placed the metal plate between my phone and it's case, and it worked just fine, without the adhesive. obviously if you have a very thick case, you will most likely have to apply one of the sticky plates to the exterior of your case for proper usage, of the mount. However, some cases actually have a little bit of metal, that will work just as good as the included plates.

Overall this mount is very sturdy, and will hold any phone, or small device into place, at the angle you choose, with no problems at all.
I love how easy it is to install, and how strong it is at holding the phone and it's position!

Works great

This wireless charging pad, works great. I have a few different Qi enabled phones, and all of them were able to charge easily with this pad.
All phones were able to use their fast charging mode, even through their cases.
-- The manufacturer does not promise charging with cases above 3mm of thickness. It also is not recommended, and will most likely not work with any cases that have any form of metal in between the phone and charger pad. Any metal left between the two "could" result in potential hardware failure, so make sure to remove those parts before charging.

The charging pad also has a tiny LED indicator to let you know if you have a good contact or position for optimal charging by displaying a white light, and a yellow light for bad. It even has a foreign object detector, to avoid sending out a charging signal unnecessarily,
The charging pad is universal and auto sensing with up to 10watts of charging power, to deliver fast charging to any of the current Qi enabled phones on any OS.

excellent audio clarity
on May 9, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The sound clarity through this headset is some of the best I have ever heard.So good in fact that, I have actually heard background noises in music that I never knew was there before. I have also been able to understand lyrics that I could never make out before, and was to lazy to look up.
The sound is very clean, and easy to hear specific directions with surround sound and higher channels. The audio in music actually sounds like each instrument or device has it's own separate channel, as opposed to just being a mix or blend of noises in one stream.
The volume doesn't seem to get as high as some of my other headsets, but it can still reach a level that is too loud for my liking.
The bass also does not create that heavy or hard ear shattering effect that some people might like, however it is very adequate and gives you more of a natural feel and depth. All the different types of music that I listened to, sounded great on this headset.
It syncs very easy with a phone, and even has an app to help you adjust your listening preferences based on 4 profiles, for commuting, public, private, or "My Moment" . you can change the EQ for each profile, from a preset, or custom. and select between the profiles, as needed, or put the headset into active "SmartSound" mode, where it listens to your background noises, and automatically switches the profiles for you. The other advantage to these profiles is that you can also have the ANC mode enabled or disabled, depending on your environment. Like when sometimes it's important to hear the people around you, and when you'd rather cancel out the unnecessary transit noises in the background.
The ANC can also be toggled manually via, a button on the left ear cuff. Actually, all the buttons and controls are very easy to access, and are actual buttons that you can feel, to know where to press, for the function you want. Controlling the headset is very easy because of this.
I've used this headset for a couple days now, with what I call moderate use, and the battery is still above 50%, so kudos on creating a comfortable headset you really can wear for hours at a time without having to stop to recharge or take an ear break.
Call quality is just as good as the music quality, nice and crisp.
I have also noticed that these have a pretty good Bluetooth connection distance as well, I was able to go 2 rooms away from my phone, and still hear my music.

good novelty camera
on May 4, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The ivy cliq+ is a FUN camera
with some great features. There are actually a lot of nice features to this camera, that I will try to comment on.
The ivy cliq+ is an 8mp digital instant print camera, that uses a special type of film/paper called "Zink" papers. The cool thing about this paper is that it is very similar to the old instant film cameras. There is no additional ink or print supplies needed to buy, just the paper. The camera can hold 10 sheets at a time. The other neat feature of this paper is that it also doubles as a sticker, just peel off the backing and stick anywhere. The adhesive is actually pretty good. The prints are also smudge, water and tear resistant. I dowsed one section of one of my prints in water, and also tried to tear it. The prints never smudged, but did get left with a water mark type stain on the picture, that isn't terribly noticeable. It also took several attempts at trying to tear the print with moderate effort. only once did I actually rip the print, the other times, the paper just warped and stretched. So really a good job on how durable these prints are.

So really a good job on how durable these prints are.
So lets talk about the picture quality of the prints. The camera is 8mp, so technically you could print up to an 11x14 photo, but with the instant printer you can only print up to a 2x3 print, for obvious reasons. However if you insert a micro SD card into the camera , you can bring that card anywhere to print larger photos of your favorite pics. The pictures saved to the SD card are actually pretty good quality with detail, contrast and color. However when printed off the camera, some details are missed, I noticed a lot of prints came off looking overexposed, even though the digital image was not. The printer prints at 314x600dpi, which is pretty good for the size of the printer. I am including a picture comparison of images taken directly from the camera and printed vs images taken from my smart phone, and then printed via the cool "mini print" app, that Canon has available in the app store. The pictures on the left are directly from the camera, the left top is with the flash, left bottom is without the flash. The pictures on the right were taken with my phone (non edited) and printed directly to the ivy cliq+.
Oddly enough if you look at the quality of the "digital" pictures taken by the ivy cliq+, and then the prints done from the phone to the printer, the ones from the phone look to print better. The odd thing is, that when you instant print directly from the camera, some of that quality is lost, and there is no way to fine tweak any of the related settings to fix this. Although, the camera is supposed to be more of a simple point and shoot device.
Speaking of that, I have noticed that you don't need to wait completely for your print to finish before taking another picture, you just have to wait till it starts printing, about 5seconds.

Speaking of that, I have noticed that you don't need to wait completely for your print to finish before taking another picture, you just have to wait till it starts printing, about 5seconds.
My biggest complaint , however, is the fact that even though you can have a memory card inserted into the camera, once you run out of paper, there is no way to take any kind of additional pictures. If they added a button to toggle the instant print feature, so pictures you don't really want printed right now, could still be saved to memory, that would be awesome. There is also no way to preview any of the pictures from the camera before they are printed (hence the "instant" feature, I guess), but still that would be nice if at least they could be viewed on your smart phone before snapping the photo to see if your shot is going to be too overexposed, or blurry.
But to be fair this camera is not marketed as a high end art photography option. It's marketed as a FUN novelty camera that is great to have at parties and any type of friend gatherings.
When using the "mini print" app, you can add a ton of special effects to your photos, like stickers, funny distortions, and lots more. Making your prints even more fun and memorable.

Overall I think this camera is really quite enjoyable with all the features it offers, my kids love being able to stick pictures of our pets anywhere. It's really a cool thing to have, and can't wait to see what features will be added in future models!

Big results from a little machine
on April 25, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This device is actually thinner than I had expected. I almost expected it to have more of a rounded shape, like a shop vac.
It's about 4.5" x 12" x 15" and weighs in at just over 9lbs.
A pretty convenient size for storing in the closet, and small enough to carry around, but still get the job done.
The motor is 3 amps, which delivers enough suction to pick up most of the treated area, leaving a damp clean surface.
I am including a before and after picture of a couch cushion, that my kids had managed to yuck up. As you can see from the pics, the treated area came out nice and clean. Cleaning took about 1 minute, just a few quick passes back and forth with the suction brush. (it took approximately 2 to 3 hours to fully dry the remaining damp area, on it's own)
This comes with an attachment for general cleaning, and a 3 sided stair cleaning tool, that rotates to keep the suction on one edge.
the first side is flat similar to the standard tool, but the other 2 sides are actually pretty helpful with more than just stairs. the second side has bristles and suction in a concave half circle, to go around edges of stairs, cushions or chairs, etc.. and the third side has bristles and suction in a protruding triangle shape, to help you get deep into angled spots, like where the stairs butt together, or along angled edges on your furniture, or in your vehicle.
it even comes with a self cleaning head, that redirects the clean soapy water back into the suction hose, for a quick easy clean up of the machine.
With a 15ft power cord, and 4,5ft hose, searching for a close enough outlet to your spills or stains should not be a problem.
Plus the integrated heater will keep your cleaning mix nice and warm, while you work. Keep in mind that the heater only heats the tank, not the hose, so if you are waiting long intervals to spray the cleaning solution, it will probably be cold, even though the tank is still warm.
Also, keep in mind this is just a spot or small job cleaner. Bissell offers a ton of different cleaning machines and solutions for any situation. So while this might not have the same suction as the more powerful uprights,
for the size, and conveniences, this is a very effective machine, and does a great job.

Nice sound with good potential
on April 22, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
First off, I will say that this speaker does put out a high quality sound at pretty high levels, although for the size of the device I expected a little bit more. When compared to another high end speaker I have , that takes up 1/4th the size, the XB72 falls a little bit short in audio richness and volume. Don't get me wrong, the XB72 sounds great, but doesn't reach the same level of bass, and distinct sounds as the other speaker I have. But, to be fair, the XB72 is advertised as a party speaker. with extra bass. The extra bass button does just as it implies by adding some extra boom to the room. With The volume jacked up to about 3/4 max, the vibrations could be felt in the floor of neighboring rooms in my house. So overall, the sound and bass, is pretty good, and should be fine for most people.
Sony has really gone out of their way to try to fit a ton of party features into this line of speakers. The XB72 has a very cool light set up, with multicolored LEDs and a strobe light. The lights can be turned on or off directly from the device. A lot of features can be activated from the top of the unit, which houses the buttons. There are a few tiny lights for some of the buttons, but not all of them, and none of the words or functions are lit up, so in a dark room, you really need another light source to see what you are doing. there is no screen on the device either making it extremely difficult to use some features, like the radio. Having the radio tuner is a huge plus, however navigating to your favorite stations is a pain, when using the buttons on the unit, there is no dial, so it's impossible to move quickly through the channel options, as you have to wait for the speaker to announce what channel is currently tuned in, before you press the button to search the next channel. There is also NO preset buttons on the device, so once you find a channel, there is no way to easily get back to it from the speaker.
So while, it is difficult to access some of the features directly from the speaker, all the control you could want is in the Sony Music Center, and Fiestable apps.
Here you can save 20 radio channel presets, and navigate the full features of the speaker with ease.
However, I must admit that for some reason, I had a very difficult time trying to get Sony's app to "register" with the speaker. It was very easy to connect to my Bluetooth and with NFC, but the app will not work without effectively pairing with a speaker. I could see the XB72 in the app, but every time I clicked on it, the app would tell me I needed to "register" the speaker to use the features. This part took forever. (I have an unmodified Samsung Galaxy Note 8), and finally after about a dozen attempts of uninstalling the app, and unpairing the speaker, I was able to get it working. It was very unclear as to what the issue was, as I had the similar issue with one of my other phones as well.
I had followed the instructions that came with the speaker, but those were kind of limited, as well as anything more detailed on the internet.
Anyway, after getting the apps to work, most everything worked as Sony had advertised. The app has a very cool "DJ" feature where you can effect the current song playing with most of the usual live DJ effects, ie. scratch,drums,audience,voice,phaser,reggaehorn,rhythm, with flanger, isolator WAH and custom EQ controls as well. (all very cool, and fun to use)
you can even change the light up features from the app, including custom colors, and flash patterns. (which is great also, but I personally would have liked to see a light pattern that actually responded and synced with the beat of the music)
The app even has a motion control feature, which lets you control some sound effects as you shake your phone around.

I did eventually try controlling the speaker with 2 different phones, 3 is the max.

Every playlist, and queued song I selected would only play from the current active phone. It would not automatically jump back and forth between phones. (Although, this could be a feature that I was unable to get to work, not sure?)
Like I said earlier Sony really went out of their way to make this a party speaker. You can even daisy chain multiple compatible Sony speakers wirelessly over Bluetooth, or have them direct wired via RCA cables.
I used the RCA cables to connect a few different types of speakers, and it worked pretty good.
There is even a MIC input with volume dial on the back of the speaker for some Karaoke or special announcements.
I especially appreciate the 2.1amp USB port on the back of the speaker that can be used to keep your phone charged. The USB can also use flash drives to play additional music.

Sorry this post was so long, but there is just too much to mention,
like the fact that it even has a built in MIC for calls and accessing google through your phone.

Overall I think this is a very good speaker with some great features!
Hopefully Sony will improve on the app to make it easier to connect to, because all the features are pretty awesome!

Nice design, comfortable ear cushions, and head band.
I particularly like the angle of the headband to the speakers. It lets you place the headband on the top of your forehead, and still have the speakers and mic line up where they are supposed to be. I appreciate this, because I can't stand headband hair. Doing this with other headsets, puts the mic too far from your mouth, and makes it harder for others to hear you. Keep in mind, I'm not saying this headset has to be worn like this, It fits just fine in the traditional position, over the middle of the head, I just prefer not to have to fix my hair all the time, so this one is perfect for that.
The speakers are only 40mm, but can still deliver a descent amount of bass, and volume to keep most everyone happy. The mic is a little shorter than other sets, but still worked just as good. In fact it was nice to have it out of the way. Muting can be done quickly, just by tilting the mic up. The volume dial is big enough to find quickly as well, right behind the left ear cup.
This set (for the Xbox One) offers surround sound capabilities. The other versions are advertised as stereo headsets, primarily because the Xbox One utilizes the Dolby Atmos app, to deliver it's surround sound features to the headset. Although, even without the Atmos app, the sound direction is very good with this headset.
Listening to the Atmos demo's are always very impressive with a capable headset or audio device.
Even though this headset is made for the Xbox, it can work with anything that has a 3.5mm headset jack.
I tried it on my phone, and other consoles, it worked just as good, but didn't get that rich Atmos sound, it does with the Xbox One.

Great reception

I live just outside the city, only a few miles actually.
I have tried several other antenna options over the years, and have gotten poor to moderate results. My main problem has been that I would constantly have to re-position my antenna to get different channels, or that the viewing channel would freeze and glitch out.
It has been very frustrating and a waste of money, to keep trying different antenna options.

It has been very frustrating and a waste of money, to keep trying different antenna options.
So far, I am very impressed with the reception from my new Mohu antenna. All the channels in my area come in, and they are all clear with no glitching for 3 days straight. The best part is that it was easy to find the best position for my antenna because of the led signal indicator. After I set it up, I have not needed to re-position or touch it at all, and all my channels are still working great. I also love that this antenna came with a powered amplifier, that can be powered directly by your tv's usb port. The amplifier is optional to use, and can be put into place in less than a minute.
If you are curious how many channels you might get in your area, or which Mohu will be best for you, just visit their link:
http://www.gomohu.com/channel-scan-retailers/
It was pretty accurate for me.

It was pretty accurate for me.
It's tough to see what's going on inside today's antennas, with the actual antenna being covered up by a much more aesthetically pleasing plastic design than the old bunny ears and bow ties, that showed off their metal configuration, and stuck out like a sore thumb. However, Mohu actually uses military technology in their design to make an antenna with great reception and a great look.
So far, it's the best antenna I've ever used!

nice stereo sound

I have purchased a lot of Logitech items the past, and have been pretty happy with them.
This headset is no exception to the rule.
The sound is clear, and has a good impact while gaming.
This is not a surround sound device, it's a stereo headset.
So while the sound quality is very good for both games and chats,
it will not have the same sense of direction or depth that Logitech's higher end headsets have. Stereo sound is capable of replicating some sense of direction, so it's not like you will miss much for most games.However serious gamers that play competitive shooters, would probably benefit more from Logitech's 7.1 surround sound devices.
With that said, for the price, you are getting a great headset. The design is pretty comfortable, with a cushion under the connecting arch, and very soft cushions for the ear covers. The ear cups are more of a rectangle, which look pretty cool, but my ears prefer the rounder cup designs. (but this is not a huge issue, as it's still manageable, and just my personal preference).
The ear cups also rotate from side to side for added comfort, it provides a better fit for pretty much all size and shape heads. You won't feel the uneven pressure on the front or back of your ears, like with other fixed position ear cups.
The Mic is attached to the left cup, and can quickly be dropped down for chats, or lifted to keep yourself muted. The chat sound was great, no complaints on anyone hearing me or vise versa.
The volume dial on the back corner of the ear cup is just the right size, I don't like to have to fumble around with a headset to find the volume for a quick adjustment. Some manufacturers try to make these buttons or dials too small, and take a while to get use to. But not this one, I can easily adjust the volume , because the dial is positioned well, and large enough to feel.
The volume dial is the only adjustment on the headset, if you would like more audio controls, or are looking to adjust the chat vs game audio, most of that can be done through your game or console, just look for the setting.
I also really like that this headset can be used with pretty much any gaming device or smartphone right out of the box. It even comes with a PC adapter cable.

Juicing at home means great nutrition and delicious drinks whenever you want them, and saving money, too. Now we've made it easier than ever to turn healthy fruits and vegetables into delicious, colorful, vitamin-packed juices right at home, with faster cleaning and more convenience. With patented auto-clean technology, this Oster Self-Cleaning Juice Extractor rinses and scrubs hard-to-clean pulp and fiber from the filter in just seconds, for hands-free cleanup. This versatile Oster juicer has an extra-large food chute that fits most whole fruits and vegetables—that means less prep work for you. The power-performance, 1000-watt dual-speed motor easily extracts both soft and hard ingredients in seconds. The convenient drip-stopper nozzle prevents dripping after juicing, and the stainless steel locking arm ensures the juicer works only when locked and secure. The parts are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.
What are the dimensions of the juicer unit fully assembled? I looked for this information in the "specs" section but it isn't listed.
The overall width and depth are about 7.5" x 11.5", and the height is 18.5"
