Nice Shaver Set - Gentle on the Skin
on October 18, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
This Philips Lady Shaver comes nicely packaged with lots of accessories and a nice pouch to keep everything contained. It would be ideal if the pouch was waterproof but that's not an issue. It charges with a USB cord which obviously comes with the shaver but you do have to have a USB wall charger (not an issue for most people since so standard these days). The instructions are on a folded light-weight paper which is not ideal (more on that later).
The shaver seems to be high quality, and fits nicely into the hand. The design is perfect for arms, legs and private areas - seems to contour to the body very well. It came already charged which was nice and when charged up, seems to last a very long time.
Shaving - all of the attachments, especially the soft glide cap, makes for an extremely gentle shave. I have sensitive skin so that was noticeable. The offset to that however, is that you don't get a really close shave and you have to go over and over the same spot multiple times when using some of the attachments. It seems to work best without any of the accessories attached and on my legs and privates. It was adequate on my underarms. The best feature of the shaver is that it can be used wet or dry. It's nice to bring it into the shower.
It would have been very helpful to have had a booklet with illustrations for how and when to use each of the attachments. The paper instructions did cover that but very briefly and the format of this big piece of folded paper was cumbersome.
Overall, the shaver is definitely worth using and I would recommend it. You just need to take a little more time but much better than standard disposable razors for a comfortable, gentle shave.

High Quality Cable
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
This Insignia charging and sync cable is very high quality. The braided jacket makes it durable, but also maintains flexibility. There is also a rubber protector where it goes into each end that will prevent the cable from pulling away from or separating from the ends through repeated use. The braiding should also help prevent fraying or getting cut when accidently caught in file drawers.
The 7' cable is a great length to use on my wall outlet (which has a USB-C outlet) to charge my phone, or to charge my earbuds from a USB-C plug or my laptop. It comes with a white rubber cord organizer so the cord does not have to be fully extended and doesn't get tangled - everything is nice and neat.
When charging my Motorola phone, the speed was fairly quick - as quick as the cable that came with it. Having two USB-C ends makes charging options very versatile.
Overall, I strongly recommend this charging cord for it's high quality - should last much longer than cheaper alternatives. Functional, durable and affordable.

Good compact wireless keyboard
on September 28, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
This JLab wireless keyboard is a good overall, everyday keyboard. It was easy to connect using the wireless dongle - my computer located it without any issues. You can also connect via Bluetooth. It has color-coded lights to see or switch the connection. It can connect to a Mac, PC or Android. It comes with a QuickStart Guide that has a Shortcut Key Chart for the Function keys. The keyboard is very compact, and I had to continually adjust my hand positions initially until I got used to the layout. It does have a number pad (10-key), which is important to me, but it is on the far upper right, so I find it's not as easy to use as most keyboards that have it positioned a little lower. There is a battery indicator but mine is not lit up (green for over 20%, red for under), so I'm not sure how to check the battery. It charges with a standard USB C plug. The best feature of this keyboard is the round media dial. You rotate it for volume, and press for play/pause, forward and back. This is such a convenient feature! Overall, this is a very good wireless (another great feature) keyboard.

Great Gaming and Graphic Laptop
on September 26, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, speed and overall performance of this laptop. The first thing I noticed was the aesthetics once you open it up. The keypad has a nice design on it and the keyboard is backlit with a very calming blue light which is adjustable for brightness. The keyboard also has a 10-key on the right-hand side, which is perfect for work as a bookkeeper. When working (or gaming) for a few hours, the laptop stays fairly cool on the bottom compared to some of my others. The two best features of this laptop are the responsiveness/speed and the graphics, both of which are excellent. The keyboard and keypad respond immediately to touch and keep up with the amazing processing speed of the Intel i7. The graphics are vivid and true to color, which is critical when designing, and purely enjoyable when gaming. Overall, this laptop is powerful, durable, fast and has extremely high-end graphics. The only negative I have found is the battery status indicator. When charged 100%, I disconnected the charger, and it immediately went to 95%. Then, once I started using the laptop, the remaining time would go up as the percentage decreased. I'm sure it's adjusting for the type of usage, but at 88% it said 1 hour 45 minutes remaining and at 61%, it said 3 hrs. 9 min remaining. I can get 3-6 hours at least with fairly heavy use so the performance isn't bad, I just can't rely on the indicator. I use the % of battery life, rather than the remaining time, to estimate the time left before I need to charge it. This is a very small complaint among all the exceptional features.

Terrific sound, great app
on September 16, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
These Technics earbuds are great. The sound quality is amazing - very clear and no distortion or "tinny" sound. The installation and pairing processes were flawless and very quick. The app is great - I use it mostly to see the charged percentage on both the earbuds and the base unit as well as to change from noise cancelling (which works extremely well) to ambient sound. You can also adjust the base, treble and other enhancements quickly using the app, but I found the factory settings work quite well. The base can be charged using a standard USB Type C plug which is very convenient. The noise cancellation works so well it's easy to get engrossed in what I am watching, or listening to, and totally forget about my surroundings. The earbuds are incredibly comfortable, even after 2-3 hours. They also stay in place when bending over or moving my head. The navigation controls are easy to use, particularly pause (one touch). I usually adjust volume on the device, rather than on the buds. The best thing about these Technics is definitely the sound quality.

Outstanding sound quality
on August 16, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
These Technics earbuds are about 3/4" round and are a very hard plastic. I thought this would make them uncomfortable, but they actually fit quite well and are fairly comfortable for shorter durations (under one hour). They stay in my ear, even while eating, which is wonderful since I usually have problems with the shape of one of my ears and many other earbuds fall out. Pairing with my phone was instantaneous. You can scan a QR code for a Quick Guide, or download Technics Audio Connect app. I like using the app to quickly see what the charging percent on the earbuds and the base are. When you take out the earbud and put it in your ear - it pairs automatically (assuming Bluetooth on the phone is turned on). This is convenient. The navigation buttons have a very small learning curve and are easy to use once learned. The volume control is on the left unit and for some reason, I want to use the right one - small nuisance. The charging station comes with a very short, 9", USB-C to USB-C charging cord. This is perfectly fine since it is so standard and most people have many USB-C chargers. These earbuds are among my favorite to use due to the crystal clear sound quality. I use it on noise cancelling mode most of the time, but you can choose ambient mode as well. They do start to hurt my ears after about 45 minutes, but I figure that's a good time to take a break from things. I could go longer without major irritation. Overall, outstanding sound and very high quality earbuds.

Flexible Setup and High Quality Playback
on August 9, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
This Night Owl security system is outstanding. The setup is extremely easy - literally plug and play for the system to start recording and to use the playback. It comes with 60' of wiring (video and power cables) for each camera so we can space out around our shop building for maximum coverage. What we really appreciated about this system is that there are two ways to install and use it - one is using a mobile app and one is to set it up manually using a video display device (we have a 2K monitor) with no internet requirements. We chose to set it up directly to the monitor since we will be looking at it both live and using the playbacks frequently, and we already have some Wi-Fi camera in place. The video quality (2K) is amazing - crystal clear recordings. The playback features include selecting which cameras to view and where on the timeline you want to play. Other quick feature buttons include turning the lights on, two way radio, and our favorite - the "panic" button, which turns all the lights and sirens on. In the setup you can select either a voice that says "smile you're being recorded" or something about "getting back to you later", or sirens. This security system is so easy to set up, yet has some very flexible features. Most importantly - records everything with high quality video and easy access to playback.

This is what every outlet should be!
on June 26, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
This 360 outlet is perfect. It comes in a nice box, and couldn't be easier to install. Remove your current outlet cover (one screw), plug this outlet in and secure it (one screw). Not only does it have four outlets, but they swivel in all directions so they are usable with power cords that have large plug ins, without sacrificing one receptacle. That is so convenient. This outlet also has a built in surge protector and indicator lights so you know that it is protected. There is also a light to show that the outlet is grounded. In addition to the four outlets, the 360 also has two USB-A and one USB-C ports so you can plug phones in directly with just a charging cord, rather than needing to use an entire outlet plug. As a bonus, the top of the unit can be used to set a phone or other small device on while charging. The price is a little high to replace all the outlets in my home, but you do save money by not having to have power strips - and they are much more convenient and visually appealing.

Stunning display!
on June 15, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
This Dell XPS laptop comes very simply packaged in a beautiful box that can be used for storage or for other things such as paperwork and adapters. The instructions were definitely the easiest to interpret - since they use pictures of the actual laptop to show where the power button and ports are located. The laptop comes with the power cord and an adapter that plugs into one of the USB-C ports to provide a USB and an HDMI port, since the laptop is too thin to have them built in. This is slightly inconvenient to have plugged in all the time, but I worry about losing the adapter if I don't.
The Dell XPS is a power-horse of a laptop with a large (1TB) drive, fast processor, lighted keyboard, and above all - a thin bezel with a stunning, high color, 1920 x 1200 resolution display. There are numerous ways to adjust the display including brightness, warmer night-time adjustments that can be set on a timer, multiple color profiles and HDR capabilities (high dynamic range) for external displays.
Overall, this laptop is as solid as it gets. It's great for everyday use and superb for graphic heavy video editing, gaming, and videos.

Simple yet robust
on June 2, 2023
Posted by: PracticalSandy
This Dell Inspiron desktop computer is very compact and extremely easy to set up. Its size makes it convenient to sit on top of the desk or even a kitchen table, yet easy to move. It measures about 13" x 11.5" x 6". Although small - it has a ton of ports! Seven regular USB ports (2.0 and 3.2), HDMI, ethernet, sound, a USB-C port and even an SD card slot. I like having a basic wired mouse and keyboard since I want to minimize Wi-Fi interference. What I'm really impressed with is the speed at startup and loading and running apps. I'm using mostly Microsoft Office and online apps, but it can run video editing downloaded software as well. For everyday use, and at the price point, this computer is hard to beat. It is a basic desktop and probably would not be the best for gaming. For most people who do not need special graphics or enormous RAM or disk space, however, it is so functional, with all the ports, compact size and fast-processing speed (although the graphics for online design of brochures and ads is definitely more than adequate). This is a simple yet robust computer.

Bring bold color to your gaming hobby with this Razer Kraken analog headset. Thick padding and a lightweight construction make it ideal for extended wear, and the fully retractable microphone lets you adjust the device to meet your needs. This Razer Kraken analog headset has a long cable that provides flexibility of movement as you play.
 

Does your voice playback through the headset? I always have one earphone off so I can hear myself so I'm not too loud and that's how my last headset broke

That would be a setting on you computer - under the Sound setting. When you plug in the the earphone jack, it should play back in your headset. If you want to hear it through your speakers, unplug the earphone jack (leave the microphone jack plugged in to record).
