This is not a laptop. It’s so much more. Meet Combo Touch, the keyboard case with trackpad that enables new levels of versatility with iPad Pro. Navigate and work in apps like never before with a new click-anywhere trackpad — our largest ever* — that gives you more space and allows for Multi-Touch trackpad gestures. SMART CONNECTOR technology helps to deliver an incredibly responsive trackpad experience and also makes powering and pairing the keyboard instant. Type comfortably for hours with laptop-like backlit keys that automatically adjust to your environment. You can always see what you're typing thanks to 16 levels of brightness. Enjoy convenient access to volume controls and more with a full row of iPadOS shortcut keys. The iPad Pro meets its aesthetic match with a slim, sleek design — the thinnest keyboard case we've ever designed with a trackpad.* The elegant woven outer fabric feels as great as it looks and the case is molded to fit your iPad Pro, protecting the front, back, and corners from scrapes and bumps. Your iPad Pro is held securely in place so you can have peace of mind that it won’t slip out and focus on what matters most — getting things done. *Compared to Logitech keyboard cases with trackpad released in 2020.

Logitech - Combo Touch iPad Pro 11" (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Generation) Keyboard Case, Backlit Keyboard, Trackpad - Oxford Gray
I confess, I love most everything Logitech makes, but this iPad Combo Touch case is a thing of beauty.
The first thing I noticed was the feel of the material - cloth like - somewhere between silk and canvas. It’s just so nice to hold!
Then I noticed how well made, yet compact it is. There’s great edge and corner protection, but the footprint is extremely slim.
You can use it in multiple modes with or without the detachable, magnetic keyboard. The display portion of the case has a versatile kickstand for viewing or drawing. The keyboard has a wonderfully large track pad that supports click-anywhere as well as gestures like pinch and tap. The keys have just the right response for typing at speed and my favorite thing, they are backlit!
Some of the little features are also worth noting. The case draws its power from your iPad itself, so there are no batteries to charge. You can also charge your Apple Pencil when the case is on using the notch at the top of the case. The magnet that holds the display to the keyboard is very strong and yet, it’s easy to separate the two when you want. You can use them separately, together, or by flipping the keyboard over, as a solid unit for reading, with the keys safely tucked *inside*!
Overall, with the features of the iPad Pro and this case, you have all the power of a laptop in an incredibly compact design.

JLAB True Wireless JBuds Frames
JLAB True Wireless JBuds Frames
These JLAB JBuds are really in their own category. They don’t go in your ears; they attach to the frames of your glasses or sunglasses. As someone who never finds earbuds fit well, these are a great alternative. The sound is basically projected into your ears from the buds. The sound quality is good, considering it’s not in your ear. I found the Bass Boost to really just be a Less Trebel setting, but the overall frequency response in either mode was fine for listening to tunes on a walk or while sitting still.
The buds clip onto almost any frames, although I found my regular glasses, which have cylindrical stems, were a little tricky to get the clips to go over. The buds also come with little silicone sleeves that slip over the clips for very thin stems, but they didn’t help with my problem. Thus the one star ding.
They also come with a nice soft, padded case that hold the buds, the sleeves, the charging cable, if you like, and still has room for your sunglasses. I thought this was a great idea, as an alternative to the ubiquitous charging case. The buds themselves have magnetic connectors for the charging cables. I was unhappy to see that they were not reversible. You can attach them only one way or the magnet doesn’t work. Run time is said to be eight hours, which if true, will be great!
You can use them to answer a phone call with a single click or summon Siri or Google with a double click. Each bud has only one button, which is nice and simple, but multiple options means using the left or right button and single-, double-, or triple-clicks to maximize the features. Not hard, but does take some getting used to.
For the price point, I found these buds to be a great deal.

HP - 27" IPS LED FHD FreeSync Monitor (2 x HDMI, VGA) - Silver and Black
I haven’t had a new monitor in a few years, so I was super impressed by how much they have improved. This 27” monitor from HP is so light and easy to adjust. The tilt is perfect for setting the viewing angle for users of different heights. The stand is solid and holds the monitor firmly.
The brightness of the screen is excellent and easily adjusted. I use it for video work, so the color accuracy, which is excellent, is very important to me.
I especially like the always-on blue light filter, since I can spend a lot of hours staring at my display. An excellent monitor all around.
I really appreciate that is comes with an HDMI cable!

Bevel - Cordless Professional Grade Hair and Beard Trimmer - Silver
Bevel - Cordless Professional Grade Hair and Beard Trimmer - Silver
This trimmer is a professional-grade device. It’s long battery life means that it’s pretty hefty in size, but that’s a nice tradeoff.
The trimmer let’s you set a trim length from “five o’clock shadow” to zero. Sounds imprecise? Well, yeah. There’s an easy adjustment under the trimmer head that let’s you set the blades from very close to less close using a small rotating dial. It doesn’t use numbers or clicks, so the length is what you like. Once set, it’s easy to stick with it and know it’ll always be the same.
There’s also a convenient hanging hook that you can hide or flip out to use.
The trim with this device is intentionally very precise. You can use it to even sideburns or carve your initials!
It holds a long charge; reportedly 8 hours and can also be used with the included charging cord.
A brush for cleaning the head and blade oil is also included. A very nice trimmer altogether.

Ninja Foodi Power Blender & Processor 3-in-1 Blender and Food Processor 1400WP 6 Auto-iQ Presets
This blender is a sweet combination of smoothie maker and food processor. The bowl is squatter than a traditional blender, but larger than a traditional food processor bowl. It handles chopping and dough making as well as more typical tasks like smoothies and frozen drinks with ease.
I like the simple control knob that turns to select from the six presets and presses to start the automatic cycle. Of course, you can pulse and go full manual as well.
Both the dough maker and the regular blade have the excellent Ninja multi-level design that moves everything in the bowl in order to blend the contents evenly.
It’s a little loud, but for its size and power, I have no problem with that!

BISSELL - TurboClean™ PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner - Titanium with ChaCha Lime Accents
BISSELL - TurboClean™ PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner - Titanium with ChaCha Lime Accents
Having a dog means occasional stains, but who wants to own a huge carpet cleaner or rent one? I initially thought the narrow width of this cleaner would make it less useful, but I’ve changed my mind. It’s great for hitting up a few stained spots or for cleaning a narrow hallway carpet. It’s light and easy to carry up and down stairs.
Putting it together was a quick and easy; you do need to attach the handle with two included screws, so a Philips screwdriver is required, but assembly is easy and the documentation is very clear.
The packaging was mostly eco-friendly, cardboard and pulp board dividers. I would have liked to see the components in paper wrapping rather than plastic bags.
Again, the usage manual was nice: clearly written, well-illustrated, direct, and very well organized. It even pointed you to videos if you don’t like to read!
Using the cleaner is simpler than some carpet cleaners I’ve used. Two foot pedals control the power and release the handle from an upright position. A long cord makes for better maneuvering in larger areas. A clean water tank is easy to fill with warm water and cleaning solution. A clear tank for the waste water lets you see that you’re getting up the dirt. I was very impressed with the cleaning power of this little machine. The vacuum was strong, but not too loud.
Emptying the tank when you’re done is also quick and easy with bright green release catches and a well-placed handle to carry the tank. Clean up is simple, and the collapsible handle makes for more convenient storage.
I’m a big fan of Bissell products: they pay attention to detail, produce quality and affordable products, and provide good documentation. That said, if I could change one thing on this machine it would be to mirror their Crosswave cleaners that give you measurements for a large or small amount of water and cleaner. Sometimes you just need to clean up a small mess.

Amazing power for a cordless vac

Review for
Shark® Vertex™ DuoClean® PowerFins Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum - Blue
Model IZ462H
Shark® Vertex™ DuoClean® PowerFins Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum - Blue
Model IZ462H
This device has great power for a cordless vac. As a shaggy dog owner, I can say that the roller in the carpet head picked up more hair than my central vac and, by design, did not get wrapped in hair. The accessory tools designed to remove pet hair also worked well.
In fact, I liked the well-thought-out design of this vac in several ways. It’s easy to change it’s form factor from floors and carpet cleaner to hand-held device in seconds. The connections are quick, simple, and secure. The tools, that come standard, cover all manner of cleaning (crevice tool, pet brush, etc.) but I liked the specially-designed tool for dusting. (Something I hate…) It’s shape and angle make it easy to clean dust off of surfaces and it can be rotated to clean things overhead like valences and ceiling fans.
The filtering system uses three separate stages to collect dust. Felt and sponge filters keep the dust inside the device and a HEPA filter pulls out fine particles. Using this vac did not bother my allergies at all! All three filters are easy to remove, clean, and replace.
Near the handle is a trigger-like switch for “Boost” mode. I found the extra vacuum power provided this way made me want to use it all the time. Sadly, this extra power drains the battery in about 10 minutes, but it can’t be beat for a big mess. This brings me to my only major concern: the box touts “up to 60 minutes run time.” This marketing-department hyperbole seems destined to disappoint most users. Average run time is much less. I’d rather see a more realistic claim. Or emphasize the easy-to-change battery for the Model IZ462H. Better yet, include an extra one!
But overall, this is a great cordless vac and shows how much they have improved recently. I also like how it folds up for storage; it looks a little like R2D2!
Finally, I have to praise the thought given to packaging. So many multi-part devices like a vacuum ship with styrofoam and little plastic bags, creating a lot of trash. This device comes well-packed in cardboard, with individual components wrapped in heavy paper bags and even sealed with paper tape, making for easy recycling.

Quiet, smart, and a little quirky…

Shark - Shark® AI Robot Vacuum R201 with Home Mapping, AI Laser Vision, Self‐Cleaning Brushroll, Wi‐Fi - Gray
Shark - Shark® AI Robot Vacuum R201 with Home Mapping, AI Laser Vision, Self‐Cleaning Brushroll, Wi‐Fi - Gray
I’ve had a robot vacuum for the past four years and have gotten used to the things you need to do to get the most out of it.
So it came as a pleasant surprise to find that things had improved in those four years! The Shark R201 has many things to recommend it: it’s much quieter, doesn’t bump into things in order to find its way around, learns the layout of space it’s cleaning and gets more efficient about it, and best of all, doesn’t need to be cleaned of pet fur after every use.
I’ll start with that last one. We have a dog that leaves a fair amount of fur around the living room. The roller on the R201 is specially designed NOT to wind the fur around itself. I was skeptical of this claim, but was truly pleased to see that it’s true! No more daily cleaning of the rollers!
In terms of quiet, I think there are two things that matter: the overall sound of the machine, which is certainly lower, but also the fact that it’s “laser vision” really works to keep it from bumping into things and making noise.
“Home mapping” begins the first time you start the R201; it doesn’t clean, but instead, wanders your house learning the corners and crannies. The next time out, it does a cleaning and uses it’s internal map to do a more systematic job. Instead of wandering back and forth, like my old model, it goes up and down in rows - much like a lawnmower. The result is a more thorough cleaning. You can view the map and make changes to it. For example, you can name the rooms, correct spaces, and set off-limits areas - like the dog’s water dish.
I have only a few quirks to list. One is the the setup on the app. Although the app is well designed and got me up and running quickly, it was clearly not tested on a variety of phones. Mine is a very popular, if slightly older iPhone and the app displayed so badly on it, that the text was unreadable. I had to guess at what the steps were for setup. Secondly, the “AI” seems to have some trouble with “cliffs,” that is, the tops of stairs. It’s smart enough to not fall down them, but hesitates to an extreme degree and spends several minutes navigating the three foot stretch. I thought this would improve with practice, but was disappointed to see it happen just the same everyday. I tried to find an answer on Shark support with no luck.

A very capable blender. Makes great smoothies and crushes ice well. Six cup, glass jar is a great size for one or two servings; the included travel is excellent for a make-and-run drink.
The blade is made to work harder than a traditional design, but the overall setup requires caution for assembly and cleaning, since you have to insert the gasket over the sharp blade.
Obviously not for use by children, but a very nice blender for the price!
