Great mid-level racing wheel set
on May 22, 2023
Posted by: Olive
The Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel used while playing Gran Turismo on my PlayStation 5.
Build Quality and Design: The T128 Racing Wheel is made of hard plastic and well-built with a sturdy construction that feels durable. The wheel has a comfortable grip and is ergonomically designed, allowing for long hours of gameplay without discomfort. The pedal set is also solid and provides a realistic feel. The only thing I would’ve like to see is if the steering wheel had some texture or grip to it. The controls are also plastic feeling, the paddle shifters were placed perfectly and easy to shift.
Compatibility and Setup: Setting up was a breeze. It is designed specifically for the PlayStation 5 and I used the disc version of Gran Turismo. Connecting it to the console was straightforward, and the provided instructions were clear and easy to follow. I set up my wheel on a table and looking to get a frame. The only issue is the cord from wheel to PS5 is short, would loved for it to at least be 15ft long.
Realism and Precision: The T128 Racing Wheel truly elevates the driving experience in Gran Turismo. The force feedback is excellent, providing realistic vibrations and resistance that make you feel every turn, bump, and acceleration. The precision of the wheel and pedals was precise.
Adjustable Settings: One of the standout is its adjustability. You can fine-tune various settings, such as force feedback strength, sensitivity, and pedal response, to suit your preferences. This level of customization enhances the overall immersion and caters to different playing styles.
Compatibility with Other Games: While I primarily used the T128 Racing Wheel for Gran Turismo, it is also compatible with other racing games on the PlayStation 5. This versatility is a big plus for those who enjoy a variety of racing titles.
Overall, the Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel is a great racing wheel at an affordable price. Its build quality, realistic feedback, and adjustable settings combine to create an immersive and authentic racing experience. Whether you're a casual gamer or a dedicated racing enthusiast, this wheel is definitely worth considering for enhancing your gameplay. I gave 4 stars mainly because the wheel could have had a little grip or less plastic feeling.

Good quality and specs for price range.
on May 7, 2023
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing the Acer - Chromebook 314 Laptop 14” Full HD Touch IPS - The laptop looks and feels well made and expensive looking. The unit also came with a nice case to hold power cord and additional small items.
The laptop is touch screen, it was very responsive and no issues experienced with sensitivity. The keyboard was a little loud when typing but not a deal breaker. The touchpad was large and responsive and was adjustable. Speakers were located at the bottom and sound quality was an expected for a laptop in this price range, the resolution not as sharp but was typical for a laptop in this price range as well.
This is an entry level laptop great for a kids first laptop or as a back up laptop just to use to browse the internet, small scale productivity and to watch videos and movies.
All hardware is entry level specs but don’t be fooled, the performance is not compromised. There was not lag or delays when streaming videos. It is a Chromebook and has enough power to handle all the basic computer needs of internet browsing, videos.
One great feature is if you are an android user, you can integrate all your accounts and view on laptop.
Overall, great laptop for the price range and would highly recommend as a first laptop.

Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo and Iced Coffee, Black - EP3241/74
Posted by: Olive
The Philips 3200 Series does it all!!!
I must say that I am extremely impressed with this machine. Unboxing, first impressions it does take up counter space but not a deal breaker. Case is made of the hard plastic but does not feel cheap and the touch screen display also seems sturdy, similar to microwave displays.
The features that I love:
Fully automatic espresso, americano, latte, cappuccino maker at home. I no longer have to wait until at work or purchase from a store to have a great cup of coffee. The cost per cup is significantly cheaper and does not create all the waste from purchasing plastic pods.
Fully automatic espresso, americano, latte, cappuccino maker at home. I no longer have to wait until at work or purchase from a store to have a great cup of coffee. The cost per cup is significantly cheaper and does not create all the waste from purchasing plastic pods.
Built in ceramic grinder for coffee beans, also allows you select the coffee strength when grinding the beans. After grinding up the beans, it also has a hopper to hold the coffee grinds that is large enough so you don’t have to empty after each cup made.
Another great feature is the milk container that you pour the milk into and it froths and automatically dispenses directly to the drink via a spout. The froth is perfect every time.
The Philips 3200 also has temperature control for your perfect temperature brew. Also, this machine has a decent sized water reservoir so you don’t have to constantly fill it (1.8L) after each cup made. I also like that the reservoir is on the side and easy to fill or access.
Tested each type of coffee and it is extremely easy because all you need is to fill the bean hopper, milk container and water reservoir. It takes about 2-3 minutes per cup/coffee type to make and I must say it is consistent every time.
Clean up and maintenance is pretty easy. Clean milk container, the grind catch and base. The water reservoir has a filter so you don’t have to descale often just replace the filter.
Overall, this machine makes great tasting coffee consistently similar to what you would buy at a coffee shop. Also, you save the environment by not buying individual coffee pods made in plastic containers and you don’t have to buy filters because you are grinding beans per cup. This would justify the cost as well as the taste because of fresh beans grounded per cup.
This is a great at home barista coffee maker! I highly recommend.

Not as powerful at full charge but sleek design
on February 12, 2023
Posted by: Olive
I tried this on my husband's beard and was mostly disappointed with th Philips Norelco Shave 5000X. We tried it in both dry and wet conditions and it did not make a difference.
Despite charging the unit for 1 hour to a full charge, the recommended length of time, it felt very weak when powered on compared to similar models. I exclusively used the precision trimming tool; I felt it did not give a close enough shave for shaping up my husbands beard despite having the skin glide protective coating.
My husband has a very thick coarse beard and he also experienced skin irritation which has never happened with my other shavers electric or manual. The design of the Philips Norelco Shave 5000X is very sleek and is comfortable to hold with the ergonomic standing grip. It was very easy to clean but other than that, I was disappointed with this product.
I would most likely use as a backup or travel shaver.
On a positive not, the charging cable fits my husbands old shaver so he was able to charge the old one and continue using.
The rating of two was because of the ergonomic sleek design despite not being powerful at full charge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great price point and sound
on December 26, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing the case didn’t have a expensive feel, at this price point its expected. This is my second pair of Skullcandy earbuds, I like the brand because the sound quality is pretty good for what its being used for, such as working out and anything that requires sweating or working outside.
Like all Bluetooth electronics the pairing was very easy and simple, the buds charged so I was able to try them out immediately. The fit was pretty good out of the box without any adjustments needed to the ear pad. I tested them out for a couple of weeks now for working out and meetings. Voice quality is solid and clear during my meetings. Working out they stayed in the ears without falling out, the music quality was pretty good, clear and vibrant sounding, the bass was nice and balanced even at high volume. The earbuds were easy to clean after a workout and never sounded muffled.
The battery life outlasts my more expensive earbuds which is why I think these are great pair even though they don’t have noise cancelling the snug fit does help keep some of the environmental noise out.
Overall, if you are looking for a great sounding earbud to use for work and play this is a great one at a very reasonable price point.

This is no microwave, toaster oven or broiler~it~s a revolutionary new way to cook. Hugely popular in Asia and available in the US for the first time, the Panasonic HomeCHEF 7-in-1 Compact Oven uniquely uses the power of steam and convection cooking together so you can roast, bake, steam, slow cook, air fry and ferment your way to incredible meals, sides and desserts. With combination cooking, steam insures consistently juicy, tender melt-in-your-mouth insides while convection delivers perfectly brown, crispy outsides. What would normally require 2-3 different processes can now be done in 1~plus, the enclosed space means less nutrients escape than with stovetop cooking. The HomeCHEF 7-in-1 is large enough to fit a whole chicken or a dozen muffins, yet small enough to outperform a traditional oven in both accuracy and speed. The icing on the (deliciously baked) cake? With steam you can sanitize everything from utensils to baby bottles, plus prep the inside cavity for easy wipe-and-go cleanup.

Must have for every kitchen!
on December 3, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unboxing - I like the compact size of this compact oven because it does not take up too much counter space which is not an issue for me, I just don't like clutter on my counters. Set was easy just plug in and read through directions. A majority of the features of this Panasonic HomeCHEF is by now a lot of home users are familiar with, such as convection, air fry, and toast. This was easy to use and set up on this unit. The functions that set this oven from the rest is the Steam-Convection Bake combo, Slow cook, Ferment and Sanitize features. Hands down this is the only thing you will need in your home and if allowed in your dorm room. This unit has a total of 7 Functions, 1 Oven: Versatile oven with an incredible range of options for cooking and prep—Convection Bake, Steam, Steam-Convection Bake combo, Airfry, Slow Cook, Ferment, and Sanitize.
I love the steam-convection and steam options because I love steamed vegetables and they came out perfectly cooked and crispy when I followed the cooking directions in the instructions manual. I cooked asparagus, spinach and mixed frozen veggies and they all came out nice and crisp. This oven is compact and does not fit a 12 inch frozen pizza like my other oven but if you like square pies this cooks it perfectly. Thin crust and crunchy.
The only thing that I had an issue with is the display and buttons. The display is not busy looking but you have to press and select to many buttons in order to get the settings needed to cook. It would be nice to have a little more buttons to you don't have to select one button and then select a mode and then within the mode another mode and then set the temperature.
Overall, hands down this is my favorite compact oven. I don't know why I purchased an oven with my kitchen suite because I rarely use it. This is a must have for every homeowner, the features make you want to cook some of the foods suggested in the manual. One major thing I forgot to mention was that if you have to sterilize baby bottles or containers this over does that as well.

Nice design and function
on November 22, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Unpacking and set up was very easy using the app. With all new tech instructions and/or codes are available for set up. Did not take long before I was ready to use.
Design wise it reminds me of speakers because of the mesh style and shape. The style lends itself to its function, the mesh helps with keeping the unit cool and signal strength.
The WIFI in my house was not as strong because I only have the router provided by my cable company. I mentioned to my cable provider and they sent me an extender which helped a little more. it increased by one bar only. When I connected the Q14 my internet strength and speed increased dramatically as well as the reliability. The speed was clocked as high as 950 Mbps and the coverage hits my entire house. Without it it was spotty.
If you have questions or need support, Motorola is the place to call when you need help. When I called I had a set up question and the support was answered by a live person not a robot.
Overall, the design and function of the Q14 is very nice and very easy to set up and use. Very strong signal and functions well.

Nice clear protective cover with a design
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
I have the deep purple iPhone Pro Max and got this case so it wouldn't hide the really cool purple color of the phone. I like this case because it protects all the edges of the phone and only has opening where needed. The on/off ringer switch is open to allow easy access to the actual button instead of having an extension, the charging and speakers are also open for obvious reasons. It would be nice if the charging outlet was covered since you have the mag safe charging option. The cover for the power cord can be opened if you are unable to charge on a mag safe charging station. The volume and power button is completely covered as well.
Installation was typical and it fit snug around the phone. It did not add any additional bulk and I was impressed that it did not add to much thickness either. The camera cutout has millimeters of extra depth to protect the camera lenses when the phone is placed on its back.
With the cover on the phone still feels thing in the hand. The case is Mag Safe compatible so that is a major plus. The one thing that I have to add is the texture was a little too smooth for my taste, it would be nice if it had a little more grip. Overall, its a nice clear cover that does not cover the color of the phone.

Highly responsive and clear screen protector
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
Installation was easy as well as the instructions to install. I had no bubbles or dust captured after following the included instructions. The true test is the responsiveness and clarity.
I used the screen protector for a few days to test responsiveness. The screen was very responsive no delays or double tapping needed. Swiping left, right, up, down and typing text messages the keyboard had no issues with response. The screen like it says in the title was glass, the clarity was like I did not have a protector on at all. The screen protector covered the entire screen leaving enough room for the case. With the case the screen was covered end to end which was perfect.
I tried scratching the screen with a key to test its durability and it did not leave any scratches on the screen. I also took a blade and tried scraping it lightly because I did not want to mess my new phone up so it was lightly scraped. No visible scratches seen after using the blade. The colors did not appear to change either with the screen protector.
Overall, I highly recommend this glass screen protector. Its easy to install, very responsive and clear.

Inferno blue light-blocking gaming glasses in matte-black Obsidian is the hottest frame in our range. Its square/rectangle style is a true classic that suits almost any face and outfit. The thin, flexible Morph-Flex temples are designed to fit comfortably under your headset without compromising style. The Inferno also includes a strong, magnetic, polarized sun clip made from the same Morph-Flex material that you can keep in the included microfiber pouch when not in use. The included Rezme Sleeper lens is fueled by a proprietary light absorption technology proven to absorb harmful artificial light emitted by your screen to protect your eyes to the maximum level. The lens is near clear and does not distort color. Using this lens regularly can increase melatonin levels by 96%, cognition by 47%, and reduce headaches and migraines, which may improve sleep, performance, and overall health. The lenses are finished with a premium hard coating for increased durability, an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare, and a water & dirt repellent coating for easy maintenance. PLAY HARD. SLEEP HARD.

Amazing and Impresses Glasses!
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Olive
I must say that these are the coolest gaming/computer blue light blocking lenses on the market. Unpacking the glasses come in a really cool triangular hard case and inside a soft case to store the magnetic polarized (yes I said polarized) sun clip.
Fit was perfect even if you normally use frames with nose pads/nose arms, the frames did not slip down from my face. I wore the glasses all day at work and then came home and played Horizon on PS5 for a few hours. No eye strain or discomfort on the side of my head, which I usually experience around 3pm at work with my regular glasses. When driving home it was sunny, so I added the sun clip and the clarity was impressive due to the polarized lenses. The glasses were comfortable for all day wear and prevented eye strain and not uncomfortable at all. There were times when I forgot that I was wearing a pair of glasses because I had to use my contacts.
After wearing the glasses all day at work and gaming, the true test was my sleep. Towards the end of the day I had no issues with falling a sleep quickly. I could not believe that I was actually feeling relaxed and did not toss or turn. It does say that it increases melatonin levels and it truly did very impressed. I had a good nights sleep (7hrs) and did it again the next few days.
I highly recommend these glasses for work and gaming.
