This blender is great. The screen is digital and comes with 2 jugs. a smaller (2)24fl.oz ones for on the go smoothies with lids and a big (1)72 fl. oz one well. it can crush ice with ease and makes great smoothies as well. The fresh vac technology takes the oxygen out of the food which makes it taste even better.

Sound great but is uncomfortable to use
on October 30, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Staten Island, NY, USA
I have used countless wireless earbuds like these and I have always loved using Jaybird products in the past. These sound great and also uses Jaybird’s app to be able to customize the sound signature from them. This comes included only with the speed cinch which allows you to make the cable fit around you neck so it doesn’t bounce around and 3 sizes of silicone ear tips that is with the fins. They fit in my ears fine but compared to their other headphone that just came out the X4 these are uncomfortable even when you compare the silicone ear tips. Besides the fit for $99 you get earbuds that is IP67 rated so it’s waterproof and it has a 6 hour battery life. These if you’re fine with the silicone ear tips and for your ears more comfortably then for the price you don’t gain anything going for the X4.

Fantastic personal blender

Posted by: Closingracer

I have used other blenders that is similar in operation. It had a slower motor then this but not by much. I have been using this to make smoothies with frozen fruit and this makes it a breeze to make. It come with two cups and the blades and covers for the cups as well. The cups seems sturdy enough to last a while. Otherwise this looks like it will do great as a personal blender

Great bluetooth speaker
on October 10, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Staten Island, NY, USA
This is a great Bluetooth speaker as itself but I have yet to get it to work with the Google Home app for my iPhone X so far so I cant comment on that. I do think its my WIFI's fault not the speaker or the app. sound wise I think this sounds better then their older products and it sounds louder as well. The 16 hour battery life considering the size isn't bad as well and the IP65 rating is good enough for me. Don't play in submerging it in water and the speaker will be inside so the water resistance is fine for that. Sound wise this is not a flat SQ but with big bass and treble as well.

Best coffee maker I’ve used so far

from Staten Island, NY, USA
I bought a similar machine from ninja last year or the year before that and it was great but I sold it because I was getting rid of stuff. This machine is better then that one m. The only thing this doesn’t have that it had was a warning plate. This machine can make cold and hot brews of coffee and tea as well. Also can froth milk as well. There is two filters for the machine one for coffee and one for tea which the machine can tell automatically. Also great that it get rid of buying filters as well which is great

They are pretty good.
on October 4, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Staten Island, NY, USA
I like these headphones but they don’t get loud enough which is bad since these let sound in. These deserve a 3.5 more then a 3 but it’s not a 4. They are like the power beats 3 which Apple sells but without the wires. These won’t be falling off yourself during a workout. They are also waterproof with a IP57 rating so I wouldn’t worry about it getting wet. The case it comes in also works as a charging case as well with an extra two charges and these are rated at 5 hours of playback on one charge. These lack bass but that could just because of the open and not a good seal. Overall these do a good job but it just doesn’t get loud enough for me.

My new favorite speaker.
on September 20, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Staten Island, NY, USA
This speaker has become my new favorite speaker! It is small but gets very loud. Does distort at higher volumes but I rarely use it that loud. Has 360 sound and is ipx7 rated and drop proof according to Logitech/ UE. It doesn't have that booming bass like the name would suggested but it is tight and doesn't get messy. has the normal play -pause buttons and volume as well. It has this button they call the magic button which works with their app but I am not sure what it does since I don't have any use for it.

Great speaker for its size
on September 20, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Staten Island, NY, USA
I knew this thing was small and didn't expect much when I got it but wow I was surprised. The thing is really small. Plus it gets really loud considering how small it is. The sound isn't fantastic nor will it fill a whole room up but it is portable, has good battery life and sound great for the size of it. Seems it has one driver and also a small passive radiator for some pretty god bass. It has buttons to pair, play- pause and lower and higher volume. The built quality looks great as well. It says it is splash proof but while its not IPX rated it seems if you accidently drop it in a puddle of water it should be fine. it is also covered in this textured hard plastic which makes it less slippery and also looks like it can handle a few drops as well.

Best Speaker I have used so far
on September 7, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Staten Island, NY, USA
I just got mine from FredEx after 2 days of them missing my house or whatever and couldn't wait to finally get my hands on this. I was in the market for a speaker anyways and I got a chance to get a unit to review ( such nice timing lol). Got one from BestBuy for an unbiased review. I love listening to music and while I am a bit picky with headphones and want better SQ I am not so much with speakers. As long as the treble isn't harsh and the mids are recessed so far back you can't find them along with pumping bass the speakers will do the job good enough for me. I never heard of Meridian Audio technology before and never thought of using or buying LG speakers since they aren't that known in the portable Bluetooth speaker business.
People have complained about the AC adapter which doesn't use USB C or the typical Micro USB like others but considering the size I don't think its an issue since the AC adapter would charge a lot faster I believe. The speaker has 2 passive radiators on the side for that pumping bass and two tweeters for the highs. Overall I love the sound of these and much better then the ones I had from Sony and Bose IMHO.

Good SSD for the price
on September 7, 2018
Posted by: Closingracer
from Staten Island, NY, USA
My laptop has a 256GB SSD that's PCIe which is lightning fast but is really small. This is a 500GB SATA based SSD so read and write times will be slower but still considerably faster then HDD's will be. this 500GB is plenty for most people who aren't gamers and will easily have enough space to store photo's/videos and Windows on. The box says up to 545MB read and 525MB write speeds and I noticed it gets pretty close to it. For sure there is better products out there but if you just want a cheap SSD or have a laptop that doesn't support PCie SSD's because its old this is a great product.

Not what I expected
By SetAside7823
The sound quality is OK but for the cost, it should be magnificent. Also the buttons controls don't control very much. Again for the cost, I should be a able to a answer calls, play/pause music, skip tracks, fast forward and remind as well as change the volume... I expected more for the money.

too expensive for the sound quality
By Raul
I been a big fan of the LG tone Bluetooth headsets so i decided to buy the 750's since I already owned the 700's so bad experience with the 750 I was hopping to get better sound quality with them but bad experience so I returned them I bought the latest version the infinite hopping to get much more quality but nothing I mean these are great headphones in the way of hardware and I keep them for over a week trying different modes and different music players with equalizers but nothing I mean if you don't care about a great bass go for it... But I you do love Heavy bass don't even think about buying these headphones...

Disappointed in this purchase. Item was also priced incorrectly on the display (shown as being less than purchase price was). Now I need to make additional trip to store to return despite staff that assisted me assuring me that this would fit the MACBOOK Air 13" when it does not.

Protects well but cracks too easily!!!!
By Ritz
too expensive! On my 3rd screen since 7/19/15!!!
I feel like Since we have bought the screen from best buy it verizon that they will have us in the computer and should give us an immediate replacement! Waiting for them to mail out the replacement is ridiculous and not at all customer friendly! Because your iPhone screen is totally unprotected while you wait for their replacement!!! This is why I would not recommend it to friends!!! Too costly and time consuming and a huge inconvenience and hassle! I hate the way it is set up!!!

Love it
By Salvi
I have had this product for about 3-4 days and absolutely love it! its super thin and portable. It has a great keyboard and overall really fast machine. BUT the only thing that bothers me is the color. Only reason why i gave it 4 stars. I am actually thinking of returning the item and repurchasing once different color options become available. I just feel the current color is fit for women rather than men.

Great attempt by HP, but battery is dismal!
By Doug
I waited months for the lightest and thinnest 13" laptop with a Intel core i7. It has many terrific features; size, weight, awesome display, keyboard, etc. But for my uses, the negatives are too much to overcome; TERRIBLE Battery life (I have turned off Bluetooth, turned down display brightness, using power management settings, etc.) yet I am lucky to get 2.5 hours of web surfing and streaming of Netflix! Charging cord is long and bulky for travel. Audio is crisp and clear, but volume is insufficient if there is any background noise in the room at all.
I guess it is back to MacAir; as much as I wanted to get onto Windows 10. Extremely disappointed in HP's claim of 9 hours of battery life. Do they not test their prototypes out first?

While battery life with my MacBook pro is better This isn't that bad... I got around 6-7 hours with it and I was streaming Netflix and web surfing pretty much. A lot more than turning off Bluetooth, lowering brightness can affect the battery life. Low wifi signal can be an issue, high cpu usage and etc. I would also use it for a few days and see if its the same issue.

Great looking laptop, horrible battery life.
By byubangal
Laptop is one of the best looking laptops you can buy but the battery life is horrible. If you are running bluetooth, wifi, and your screen is bright; you WILL drop battery life at the rate of 1% every 3 to 4 mins. I've never seen a laptop drop power so fast. Other than that, laptop is great but I will be going back to Spectre 360
