Out-of-the-box initial setup was fast & intuitive. The pedestal stand does not require any tools, and basic instructions are included. You do need to have or sign up for a Microsoft account in order to fully utilize the system. It comes loaded with Windows 10 Home which comes with tons of personalizing options. The automatic Dell updates seem to be glitchy so far. Just after setup, it ran a few updates with no problems. Then it froze twice during installation of a critical BIOS update.
Design - The modern, sleek black & gunmetal gray look goes well in office or home setting. The monitor’s thin bezel on sides & top give it a minimalist feel. The speakers are hidden across the front/bottom. A nice touch, the camera is recessed, pop-up style, so it stays hidden until needed. Display - I have to compare this to my current 2-year old AIO from another mainline mfr. The screen on this Dell is not glossy, but has more of a flat finish. This is great for reducing glare, but in comparing images & video with my other AIO, the colors were a bit muted and less crisp. The touch screen is fantastic. I much prefer a large screen to a laptop, and this is lightweight enough to be moved around when needed. Speakers - Very tinny sounding when listening to music, but voice is clear & strong. Again, comparing to my other AIO (that has built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers), I actually cringed while watching my favorite music videos. I will definitely hook up some external speakers. Keyboard & Mouse - Both are wireless & battery powered. The small USB receiver is uniquely hidden inside the mouse. The keyboard is standard and pretty quiet, but the mouse is very basic, uncomfortable & feels super cheap.
Although I wouldn’t recommend this system for a heavy gamer or for entertainment without upgrading the speakers; overall, this is a good choice for a student or for home/office use.

I’ve had this running in a 260 sq. ft. room for about one week on Auto mode. It has a nice low fan sound, similar to a quiet white-noise machine. Ideal for a bedroom. Even after several hours of heavy cooking in our nearby kitchen, I haven’t heard the fan speed increase to Mid or High. However, I have seen the digital air quality display temporarily increase from the usual 002-005 reading to a high of 030.
I was hoping it would eliminate the heavy dust accumulation in the room. Normally, I can dust in the morning and by evening see that a light film has already developed. It did reduce the dust a bit, but not as much as I was anticipating. I did notice a significant reduction in cooking odors with the unit vs. without it. This made me a believer. Nothing worse than trying to sleep in a room that smells like cooked cauliflower.
I do like the automatic light control. When the room lights are dimmed, both the white lights on the control panel and the air quality display will turn off. Although the color wheel dims, I do wish there was an option to turn it off completely at night. It’s still too bright if you’re trying to black out a bedroom. I have to tape a dark piece of cloth over it at bedtime.
Overall, this is a good investment for a healthier home. We’ve discovered we’ll need at least one more unit.

We’ve been enjoying the Soft White bulbs for a few months, so adding the adjustable color bulbs has been a lot of fun. Note: the set of instructions in the box advises to download the “Sengled Element Home” App (green icon). Because this App is no longer supported, you’ll be directed to download the “Sengled Home” App (red icon). The Hub & Bulb setup isn’t complicated, but it can be glitchy. It took several attempts, including re-setting the Hub, before it finally paired. Same experience with the bulbs. One bulb paired immediately, but the next took several tries including a reset (turn fixture on/off quickly 10 times, then wait for bulb to flash). Once the Hub & bulbs are paired, the fun begins!
The bulbs are very customizable. There are 3 main adjustment features in the App. There are sliders to adjust brightness & color temperature. And there’s a trackpad-style feature to allow full spectrum color options. The ability to turn lights on/off when away from home is a key security feature. You can also set an on/off schedule. The color bulbs are also a huge hit in the children’s bedrooms. Overall, the bulbs & hub combo are a good buy if they’ll just continue to improve the App.

Our family has been through many toaster ovens over the years. We’ve heavily used them on a daily basis for small basic toast jobs to full oven backups. After putting this one through its paces, our family agrees it’s a winner. First of all, its beautiful design fits right in with all other modern kitchen appliances. But its ability to evenly cook makes it a keeper. Whether toasting bread or nuts, baking small batch cookies or re-heating meals, we found very even browning for all food types. This has been a problem in the past. You would put in your toast & have to spin it half way through the cycle for an evenly cooked outcome. Also, the inside light stays on during the entire cooking process. This is a big plus.
The unique design allows up to a 12” pizza. This was surprising, as the appliance doesn’t take up any more room than our last toaster oven, yet it can accommodate a much larger size pan.
Clean up is fairly easy. The inside surface wipes clean without much elbow grease. There is one design negative. When the door is completely open, it doesn’t lie flat, which hinders the ability to easily pull the crumb tray out.
The controls/dials are mostly intuitive, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to change cooking time/temp once the cycle has started. We’ve been able to easily add time or change baking temp mid-process with other units.
Overall, this is a great-looking appliance that appears well-built, cooks evenly and should last the test of time.
Built to match the way you live and designed for use with the HP Smart app, Tango X helps you stay a step ahead by connecting and printing from any device, anywhere.

My initial impression was that this is a very minimalist, attractive looking printer. It’s definitely geared for home or home office. The appealing wrap-around linen cover makes it look like a large book of some sort when it’s not in use. The Tango X works best with phones & tablets and not desktop computers. I attempted to print from my desktop without success.
Before setup, it’s best to download the HP App and create an HP Connected Account. Initial setup didn’t go perfectly according to the instructions, but it was still largely painless. Most print jobs are surprisingly fast and crisp looking, with one exception. Printing a full page black & white photo took so long, I stepped away and had plenty of time to make a cup of coffee. The Smart App is very helpful & will also let you know when paper or ink is low. The only negative: there is no USB port or other way of connecting directly to a device. So, if there is a connectivity issue with WiFi, you’re down for the count. Also, a minor issue, but the little tag with the HP logo on the linen cover has a tendency to catch on print jobs which causes a back-up on the following pages. Overall however, this is a good choice for a home printer.
Enjoy crisp, colorful picture quality with this Full HD HP monitor. The ultrathin bezel on the 27-inch screen provides an expansive viewing area so you can stay productive, and its AMD FreeSync technology reduces input lag and screen tearing. This HP monitor has two HDMI ports for connecting gaming consoles and other devices.

Must admit we’ve been an HP shop for many years, so I’m definitely biased. However, that doesn’t mean I’m not objective. This 27” is the perfect size for a work monitor, but you do need room to set it back a little further than a smaller monitor. It also has dual VGA & HDMI ports which is helpful for a work-from-home setup.
The picture is crisp, especially for this price point. The thin bezel gives it a sleek look, and it is 75Hz. I’m not a heavy gamer, but I didn’t notice any stuttering as I have in the past with other monitors. On the negatives: the base could be a littler sturdier. There are no speakers, although I’ve never been a big fan of monitor speakers. They always sound cheap & tinny anyway. Overall, this is a very good home or office choice for the price.

I admit it. We are a Sony family, but the bias in this case is justified by many years of experience with both Sony products & encounters with other manufacturers. We’ve rarely been disappointed with a Sony product and this is no exception. Never thought a soundbar could deliver such high level audio until now. This paired perfectly with our Sony 4K TV & the HTZ-9F Soundbar with wireless subwoofer to create a full theater experience.
The soundbar/subwoofer combo is taken to a new level when paired with these speakers. This wireless system can compete any day with a fully wired surround sound setup. Audio is very balanced & requires little adjustment. The remote includes separate volume controls for the subwoofer & rear speakers. The result is full, crisp, amazing sound.
Enjoy premium sound from a streamlined package with this Sony sound bar. The Vertical Surround Engine ensures an easy fit in your entertainment space, and the 3.1-channel Dolby Atmos technology supports an immersive experience. This Sony sound bar operates on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for streaming your favorite songs, and it comes with a wireless subwoofer to improve bass output.

PROS: - Straightforward setup. Subwoofer & rear speakers paired quickly - Full, rich quality you would expect from a wired surround system - Very balanced sound requiring little adjustment - Powerful subwoofer delivers full deep tones - Remote includes separate volume controls for the subwoofer & rear speakers - Simulates an overhead speaker
CONS: - Difficult to find any fault with this unit. I would only recommend purchasing the rear speakers for optimal enjoyment

What a great invention! As a side-sleeper, I was unsure that these would work. I’ve used standard foam earplugs for years, but those are bulky, don’t mask sound very well, & create too much suction that becomes uncomfortable after a short time. I love these little sleepbuds. The material that touches your ear feels very soft & silky, so they’re super comfortable. They’re so small that I was able to side-sleep comfortably for hours on a firm memory-foam pillow. They also don’t create too much suction. The App is very basic, but intuitive. It has 10 sounds to choose from, a sleep timer, & a customizable alarm. You can adjust the sound to find that balance between full awareness of exterior noise to complete shutout of the outside world. I found they came in handy in the airport, too. The only downside is the occasional loss of connectivity. They don’t always automatically pair easily like all my other Bluetooth devices. It’s a hassle to go through the process of reconnecting, especially when you’re tired & ready to sleep. Overall, it’s an amazing product that I’ll use often. I used to lug around a sleep sound machine on business trips. These efficient buds will save space & reduce luggage weight.

Hub & bulb setup is fast & simple. Just download the Sengled Element Home App & create an account. For security, I really like the ability to turn my lights on/off when I’m away from home. It’s also nice to make lighting adjustments from another room or when you’re already in bed. For basic on/off and dimming, the App works well most of the time. I had connectivity issues on occasion. Sometimes, a bulb is completely unresponsive. Other times, there is a delay when making adjustments. Also, the option to add a customized image doesn’t work. I tried selecting from my gallery as well as taking a new picture, but the App freezes & will not allow the change. If the App is upgraded & the bugs are worked out, this will be a nice system. Overall, not bad for the price.

As long as your device can download the HP Smart App, you should be fine. The App will let you know if the device is incompatible. I tried it on an old Samsung Note 3 and it let me know the device was too old. Hope that helps.

I live in an apartment with the loudest bunch of people above me,Do you think it might mask a dog's bark?Or loud thuds? Thanks!
I have loud screaming children & mowers nearby on a regular basis. These definitely help mask those sounds enough to sleep & study through. Not sure what you can do about the loud thuds though as that's something you usually feel as well as hear. Hope that helps :-)
