Nice, Portable Option for Teeth Cleaning on the Go
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: CMCMom29

I currently have a Philips Sonicare Rechargeable toothbrush. However, over the past year or so, I’ve heard many commercials about Quip, especially on Satellite Radio and podcasts. I was curious about the product and appreciated getting a chance to try one.
The Quip comes in a simple, environmentally friendly box. The version I tried is the black metal finish Quip. Inside the box is a smoke-colored translucent plastic tube with one rounded end and the other end a screw-on cap. You unscrew the cap to remove the brush and cover. Now, the instructions will tell you to dispose of this container, but I kept mine because it completely enclosed the brush. If nothing else, it would make a great case for travel.
The brush is sitting inside its cap like a stand. You can pull this up over the brush to store it.
The feature I found odd was a tacky strip on the side of the brush handle. This is supposed to allow you to stick the brush on a mirror or other surface when not in use. However, I found this off-putting. For one, it feels sticky in your hand as you hold it, and for two, it seemed like something that also would attract dirt or debris and would be hard to clean. I replaced the decal over the sticky strip and don’t plan on using it.
The brush can be used in conjuncture with an app that is connected via Bluetooth. The app was simple to set up and connect with the brush. It allows you to track your brushing time and win virtual awards inside the app marking your progress.
The unit also comes with a coupon for one shipment of extra supplies. Quip offers a service to replenish supplies for the brush, such as a new brush head, new batteries (the unit itself is not rechargeable), floss, and toothpaste. You can choose one or all the supplies to set up on subscription. The couple covers up to $15 of your first shipment of supplies. So, in approximately 3 months, I will receive a new brush head, new batteries, and floss.
The unit is sleek and compact, as compared to my Sonicare. On the back of the brush head is a tongue scraper. The power button is the letter “Q” and is the only control on the brush.
As I am used to the power in the Sonicare, comparatively the Quip vibrates in a more subdued manner. The unit and the app are there to encourage you to brush each quadrant of your mouth for the proper amount of time. The brush will give you a little pulse to signal you to move on to another quadrant.
I, myself, am not a model brusher of teeth. I don’t have a lot of patience to brush each section for the recommended amount of time. I prefer the power of the Sonicare to the subtle vibrations of Quip.
The brush is comfortable to use. It has weight to it so that it feels balanced but not heavy. The metal handle is sleek and smooth to the touch. It is smaller in overall size, though, than my Sonicare.
I feel that the Quip is a very nice brush to travel with, or to carry with you in a briefcase or a gym bag so you can have a power toothbrush on the go. However, for home use, I will stick with my Sonicare.

Nice Compact Carpet Cleaner
on October 13, 2020
Posted by: CMCMom29
from Michigan
I have three children and as many dogs, two of them being puppies. Puppies have accidents, especially bull-headed ones as I have. This product was made for my household.
The unit is pretty basic. It’s fully assembled when you take it out of the box. It comes with two brush heads – one a bristle brush, one a rubber brush for pet messes. That is the only part you have to attach. It was a bit heavier than I expected, but it wasn’t hard to carry.
The unit comes with a small bottle of Paws & Claws Spot Cleaner, which is just enough to fill the tank. No water is needed to mix with the cleaner. That’s a big bonus for me. I have floor machines that required mix HOT water with cleaner, which was messy and, when the temp of the water cooled, you’d have to throw it out. With this unit, you dump in the cleaner and go.
One thing I will note here is that I had some leakage from the small rubber gasket at the top of the cleaning fluid reservoir. You have to remove and invert the container in order to fill it. A few drops escaped from the gasket. There was moisture laying on the top of the container after I reinstalled it (I try to capture it in a photo, attached to this review). I wasn’t crazy about that.
The box has a Quick Start Guide for using the product on the box flap.
I had the perfect opportunity to try the unit when one of my pups decided to do their business in one of our bedrooms. Full disclosure: I did pre-treat the stain using an enzyme-based spray.
The PowerDash Go is easy to use. You plug it in, turn it on, use the hose/brush attachment to shoot cleaning fluid on the carpet and vacuum it up.
Another thing to note is that I wish that either the reservoir was larger, or it came with a larger bottle of fluid (or two of the small bottles, maybe). I used all of the fluid to clean the mess on our rug. The “business” came up right off the carpet. No remnants remained. The smell was pleasant – no overpowering scents here.
It was easy to clean. I just removed the dirty water container, dumped it into the sink, gave a quick rinse, and it was ready to go again (well, after I get more cleaner).
It’s made in the USA, too! Bonus!
If you have an active household, this will be a great spot cleaner for you.

I am late convert to air frying. When the big-name brand fryer first came out, it was a bit out of my reach, so I ordered a store brand version. Wasn’t impressed with the performance, ended up selling it.
I recently was able to purchase that brand name fryer and fell in love with it. My steaks came out flavorful. It made my roasted red potatoes yummy, and my chicken was juicy, not dried out as it did in the oven.
I soon discovered that it would be a good idea to have a second fryer for sides so I could cook in both at the same time. I jumped at the chance to review the Bella Pro Series fryer because of the fact that (a) it air fried, (b) made pizza, which is a favorite in our house, and (c) looked like a mini oven.
I wanted to like it, y’all. I really did. I have very mixed feelings on the product.
My other fryer opens from the top, and has a fry basket insert, as well as a grill insert. This unit comes with two crisper racks, one drip pan, one pizza pan, and a rotisserie skewer. There are no shelves other than the crisper racks themselves. I wish that it had come with some kind of baking pan, a basket, or even a small jellyroll pan. As I said, I like to fry potatoes and, in this unit, I would have to carefully place the cubes on a crisper rack that has no sides at all. My other fryer, I can just dump them in the basket once I season them.
The unit is heavy, so I would make a home on your counter and plan on leaving it there. It’s attractive and will match most kitchens. It takes up a lot of room, both height and width wise. If you have a small kitchen, even though it’s multifunctional, it may not work for you.
One thing that stood out to me while reading the manual was that it is recommend that you use some non-plastic mat or coasters to keep the feet (plasticizers) from “migrating” (read: melting) onto your counter. Yikes. I ordered a silicone mat that I hope will work; I didn’t get it in time for this review. This is not something I expected from a unit such as this.
Something I didn’t see in the manual was if the inserts were dishwasher safe. I have washed them in the dishwasher and so far, no worse for wear.
For testing, I made steak, chicken, rolls, and a frozen pizza.
For the steak and chicken, I place the meat on one of the crisper racks and had the drip pan underneath. Because the crisper has so many holes in it, you’ll want to keep the crisper on the drip pan until you put them in the oven, or use a plate; otherwise the meat will basically be sitting on your counter while you prep it. Both meats came out juicy and flavorful. No issues with doneness.
For the rolls, I had to take the crisper pan, place some foil over that, and then put the bread on it (the rolls were to be baked inside their foil packaging). I did this because I was afraid of dye transfer from the labels on the bag. I didn’t feel I could use a baking pan because (a) I don’t know if I have one the appropriate size, and (b) the crisper racks are very thin, almost flimsy. Not a lot of strength implied there.
The pizza was most disappointing. The pizza was too big for the pan it came with, so I put the pizza on a crisper rack. I had to smush the pizza a bit to get it to fit (I thought frozen pizzas were 10” normally).
After the initial 8-minute preset, the cheese was melted but the dough looked underdone. I cooked it another 8 minutes. The top was then overcooked, yet the dough remained undercooked. My family said it was fine, but I couldn’t get myself to try it.
All in all, I wasn’t impressed with this unit. It looks attractive, it’s easy to use, and good for some uses. The inside looks like another oven I will have to clean because there’s very little keeping the food and grease from touching the inside of the unit. The last thing I need is something else to clean.

Nice Unit for a Beginner
on September 27, 2020
Posted by: CMCMom29

In the past, I was intrigued by juicers. People who I knew that used them swore by them. One even lost weight drinking fresh, homemade juice. I would talk myself out of buying one, though.
So, when I had the change to test the Oster Stainless Steel Self-Cleaning Professional Juice Extractor, I jumped at the chance.
It comes nearly fully assembled. The unit is quite attractive on the counter. It will match any other stainless appliances that you may have in your kitchen. It is a bit heavy, though, so I wouldn’t plan on moving this from, say, a lower cabinet when not in use, to the counter.
I had a hard time picking a recipe for my first foray into juicing. I didn’t want anything too complicated nor did I want to buy out the produce section for my trial. I chose a simple Spinach Apple Juice drink.
The recipe called for 1 bunch of spinach, 2 apples (make sure you remove all seeds and stems from your apples; otherwise they will release small amounts of cyanide), and half a lemon.
Well, silly me, I tried to recall the recipe from memory, and I thought it called for 2 lemons. My lemons were quite small, so I used 4, along with the 2 apples, and 2 handfuls of spinach.
I cut up the fruit into wedges and tried to take the bulk of rind off the lemon before putting into the chute. The food chute is quite large, and I had no issues with the juicer grinding things up.
The juice was extracted easily. It didn’t yield much; approx. one serving, as the photos show. The glass I used is violet and holds 16 oz. The juice itself was green.
The juice turned out super tart, which is expected when you use 4 lemons instead of a half. I tried adding about a half tsp. of sugar to it and it still was too tart.
The next step was to clean the unit. I followed the instructions to use the cleaning feature on the juicer. It’s easy to do – you fill the pusher with water as directed, turn the dial to cleaning mode, and it will run water through the machine.
Now, this is not a thorough clean. It flushes water through the unit, but your parts won’t come all the way clean. At least, mine didn’t.
The stainless basket was mostly clean, which some residue left, which you can see in the photo. It was easy to take apart, though, so I will plan on washing the parts later.
This is a very nice juicer for a beginner like me. I just will need to learn how to adjust the ingredients to make a more edible product next time. {smile}

Cool Unit, but Maybe Needs Some Work
on September 20, 2020
Posted by: CMCMom29

The uHoo Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitor is one of those gizmos that you don’t know that you need until you get one.
The unit is designed to detect allergens and toxins in the air. I suffer from allergies year-round, I have dogs, and I have children. There is a lot of stuff in our air so I was curious as to what this would measure.
The unit was easy to set up. You take it out of the box, plug it in, download the app from your favorite app store, and off you go. You follow the prompts in the app to set up. You will need to let the unit run for about three days before you start to see accurate results.
This thing monitors stuff I didn’t realize were things. What’s a TVOC? PM2.5? I’m not sure, but the uHoo monitors it.
I have CO2 monitors in the home and have never had one go off. However, the uHoo alerted me via push notification that my CO2 levels were higher than recommended. The next day, I had the windows open for a while and the level went down.
What became annoying, though, was a stream of constant alerts. It told me that the humidity was high and that I should turn my thermostat down. I did so. Then it alerted me that my home was colder than usual and to turn my thermostat up. Huh?
This went back and forth until I finally shut off the push notifications. It was too much. Seems to me it is a little too sensitive, maybe? It also defeats some of the purpose if I have to turn off the notifications because there are too many of them. It’s the app that cried wolf. Now, how will I know if I’m in a danger zone?
For that reason, I took off one star. It’s a really interesting item to have, but it might need a bit of tweaking to be really helpful.

First impression of the kit is that it is HEAVY. You definitely feel like you are getting your money’s worth in the heft of the product.
Logitech makes quality products, and this is no exception. The wheel feels great in your hands. The grip material, the hint of blue, the buttons on the control, all make it great to look upon. It’s a sharp product. It even has new car smell to go with the car grill detail that it has on the front of the unit.
The unit is simple to set up. It comes with a small brochure showing you how to connect it. One note here is that there is a web site included with the materials that would not come up for me. I’m not sure if it’s a bad address or something yet to be set up. I had to go to Logitech’s site to find the product information. The only download available is the User’s Manual.
I first tried to use the wheel with a gaming laptop. I wanted to use it to play NASCAR 4 on Steam. However, we couldn’t get it to work at all. Because there were no downloadable drivers, I couldn’t figure out why the game wasn’t responding to the wheel controls.
I then ordered NASCAR 4 for Xbox One to see how it would respond there. The wheel worked seamlessly with the Xbox One.
I then ordered NASCAR 4 for Xbox One to see how it would respond there. The wheel worked seamlessly with the Xbox One.
The kit is two main parts – the wheel and the pedals. The wheel clamps to the table and the pedals sit on our carpet. The challenge I faced here was that the units kept moving on me. The wheel would shake during use (more on that later) and then fall off the table. The table I have was a small adjustable table I use for laptops, with a smooth laminate top that is close to 1” thick. I clamped the unit as tightly as possible, but it still would slide off. I would recommend some sort of gripping material on the edge of the clamps to improve the hold.
The pedals also would slide on me. I drove with the pedal pushed to the floor and then would notice that, as I pressed down, the unit would move, and I would periodically have to adjust the unit back into place.
Now, as far as the game play…it was AWESOME. Trying to play a driving game using a controller loses something in translation. This felt like I was actually driving vs. just playing a game. Just for fun, I would crash into walls and other cars to see how it would react. The wheel would shake and shimmy in response to the impact (then it would move, and I’d have to re-clamp it onto the table). The wheel moved smoothly and responded well; the pedals felt natural. I had a ball.
You can fine tune the wheel in seemingly unlimited configurations. The game had several levels to drive in, which all had some preset options. You could customize your wheel to your liking within those levels. I don’t see how you could ever get bored using this kit.
I am extremely happy with this product.

Add music to your workout routine with these Skullcandy Push Ultra true wireless sports earbuds. The moldable ear hooks offer a secure fit during vigorous exercises, while built-in controls and microphone enable hands-free calls. These Skullcandy Push Ultra true wireless sports earbuds provide up to 40 hours of battery life to last through long hiking trails.
Posted by: CMCMom29
from Michigan
The Skullcandy Push Ultra In-Ear Wireless Sport Headphones are a nice, compact unit. The case doubles as the charging station. On the outside, there are no status bars for charging, so you don’t know when the unit is done charging. A good rule of thumb, though, it to give it a couple of hours or plug it in at the end of your day. You won’t know the battery levels until it’s too late, which is a major drawback for me.
The case is also a bit heavier than I’d like to carry around in my purse. It’s more of a square case, which is OK, but it certainly has a heft to it.
The unit is easy enough to pair with devices. You will need to use the Skullcandy app, so you’ll want to download that ahead of time. It did take me a few tries because, in order to get the unit in pairing mode, you will need to put the buds in the case and then remove in a certain way. I did have a couple of issues of my phone losing the connection in between uses which was frustrating. Each side pairs separately.
The app seemed a little unnecessary, though. I didn’t find equalizer settings in the app which would have been nice.
I don’t think I’ve had a bad Skullcandy product yet. If you are looking for comfortable earbuds, give these a try.

Keep each glass of wine as fresh as the first with this Coravin Model Three wine preservation system. Patented technology lets you pour wine without removing the cork, saving the rest for later. SmartClamps easily attach and detach to the bottle and works on corked bottles. This Coravin Model Three system uses ultra-pure argon gas for long-lasting preservation.

I’m not a regular wine drinker. I like it, and some nights I might even feel like I need it, but I don’t drink it much. Mainly, because I know that I would not finish a bottle in a day or even a few days. A glass occasionally is nice, but not all the time and certainly not in one sitting. As a result, I tend to gravitate toward more wine coolers or wine-in-a-can because of the smaller servings.
That’s why I was anxious to try the Coravin. I had seen it advertised on TV and thought it was a fantastic idea, if it worked.
I purchased a bottle of Rosé for the test.
Opening the box, the first thing you see is a message telling you that you need to watch a video on how to use it. I had mixed reactions to this. On one hand, it’s nice that there’s a simple way to learn how to use the product. On the other hand, is this thing SO complicated that you need to watch a video in order to use it?
I followed the instruction and watched the video. Looked simple enough.
The unit comes with two gas canisters that they call “Pure Capsules”. This is important to the operation of the opener.
There is some assembly required (the insertion of the cartridge) but it’s easy to do.
Basically, you place the “Smart Clamps” on top of the bottle neck. You use the part that holds the cartridge to place the needle into the wine. Then you use the lever to pour the wine. As you pour the wine, gas goes into the bottle to take up the remaining space. This keeps the wine tasting fresh. To remove, you do the same process in reverse.
As advertised, the cork “sealed” up the bottle. I turned the bottle upside down, and not a drop escaped.
I tried using it the next day. Wine was fresh, cork sealed, no drops escaped. Same thing a few days later.
The Coravin is what it says it is.

**Please note. I am not a medical professional. This review discusses my personal use only. I would suggest speaking to your physician if you have any questions about using this unit in your current condition.**
The Theragun Handheld Percussive Massage Gun. Ahhhhhhh…
That’s really all you need to say.
I have chronic pain, including arthritis and fibromyalgia. Before the pandemic, I was getting a 30-minute professional massage every week. It’s really the only way I’ve been able to manage the pain.
In the quarantine, I’ve been suffering without that therapy. I hold stress in my upper shoulders, and I’m not sure about you, but I find the quarantine a bit stressful. Hence, I’m starting to look like a hunchback.
That is where the Theragun comes in. I received it about a month and a half into my quarantine. I needed help.
The unit comes in a very nice box – great for gifting. Within that box, it comes in a lovely hard-sided travel case, which holds the gun, the attachments, and the instructions.
The first thing you’ll need to do is charge it – mine arrived with a 28% charge.
Then, you’ll want to download their app. Now, here is where it may get confusing. (I’m an Android user, so I don’t know if this will apply to iOS.) I looked for “Theragun” and didn’t find the app. I ended up going to their website, where I found that the company had changed their name to “Therabody”. Using that name I was able to find the app.
The app was easy to set up and sync with the Theragun itself. What’s really neat about the app is that there are several presets for conditions or parts of the body that you want to address. For example, there’s a Sleep routine, which guides you to how to use the massager on which muscles to help you sleep. It will walk you through the locations, time spent on each spot, and intensity of the vibrations with the proper pressure.
The massager is designed to be easy to hold. I was able to hold on to it most of the time. The further down I went on my back, though, I found it harder to hold.
The noise level is fine with me. I wouldn’t use it next to someone trying to sleep, but I didn’t find it to be too loud.
The unit comes with the damper attachment installed. This is probably the one you will use the most. I also used the ball attachment. Each preset routine will tell you which attachment to use. The odd thing is, though, you don’t see the attachment choice PRIOR to going into the routine, only once you are in it. Then you may have to pause the vibrations in order to change out the tool.
Because of the stress in my upper back, so I started with the “Knots” routine. This uses the damper tool. While I did find relief, I found that when the unit was close to the base of my skull, the vibrations shook me a little too much for my liking. I also found that I wasn’t pressing as hard as the app wanted. When I adjusted my pressure, I found it hard to maintain. I also found it uncomfortable, so I went back to my previous pressure.
My favorite, though, was using it without the app, just on its own. I have severe arthritis in my hip that also affects the muscles around that area. Nothing that I tried on my own broke up whatever it was causing my pain. The Theragun was able to do this. I have found so much relief with just a minute or so of using the product on my hip and back. For this, I am incredibly thankful.
If you have tense muscles, or need something stronger than those handheld massagers that they usually market at Christmastime, I would highly recommend the Theragun.

Retro Goodness...and That's About All
on April 27, 2020
Posted by: CMCMom29
from Michigan
First impression of this Polaroid camera is that the design is almost the same as the original Polaroid Instant Cameras I remember. Which is good…and bad.
The good is that it’s very retro-chic and for those of us who remember using these cameras years ago, a sense of familiarity. The buttons are the same, so there is no learning curve for using it.
The bad is that the camera is as boxy as the original camera. The casing is slick and hold to hold. If a neck strap had not been included, I’d say it would be almost impossible to handle while you’re in motion, which is usually how people have their Polaroid cameras. They carry it and then stop to shoot subjects, then move on.
The viewfinder is also small; I found that even when I centered the subject, I still had more background than I wanted in the final photo.
The unit comes with a USB cable for charging, but the camera was already charged and ready to go. Other than that, there are no digital capabilities. It is just a simple camera.
While the design and features are decidedly retro, the photo quality…should not be. I was disappointed with the photos that the camera produced. Each takes about 15 or so minutes to develop. Not sure who has 15 minutes of patience anymore to wait for a picture to show up. We are so used to truly “instant” pictures on our phones and digital cameras, that 15 minutes is no longer considered “instant”.
The colors on the finished product are more muted and paler than my family’s Polaroids from the 1970s. It’s like an Instagram filter…which itself is based, in part, on retro photographs.
The flash washed out my daughter’s features, but not using the flash made the photo so dark I couldn’t make out ANY details. A photo of a blue sky and a lush green pine came out with nearly no color at all.
I’m not sure who the camera is meant to be marketed to. The quality of the photos is poor, there’s no digital features, and it’s hard to hold. The film is expensive and only has 8 available photos per pack.
Other than the aforementioned retro appeal, I really wanted to like this camera, but this I don’t see myself using this camera in the future.

Only the left earbud will work for me when I'm trying to use both. What do I do?
I found that you have to turn on both when using. Also, make sure the buds are paired to each other per the unit's directions.
