The Multigroom Series 7400 trimmer by Philips Norelco is one nice setup in a small package. The kit comes with many attachments, a bag, charging cable and lubrication oil(and a lot of it since it is hard to find).
Once I opened the package, I checked to see how the quality was, all attachments are very sturdy and the shaver feels like quality in your hand. The shaver itself it very comfortable in your hand and has no sharp edges or molding burrs on the plastic areas, After letting it charge up a bit, I decided to give it a try. Cutting my hair was first and I decided to just shave it all off. What is nice is you can fine tune the length right on the shaver, great idea! It powered through my thick hair with ease and did not cut me up like my old barber shaver does. I also tested it out on my neck under my beard and it gets super close, almost that 5 o'clock shadow look close, and no nicks. My favorite part was something I have always wanted, the nose hair trimmer, man, now I won't look as old as I am with the hairs hanging out. Actually, it worked perfect and my wife won't call me old anymore. The travel bag that comes with it holds everything nice and has extra room to store a comb, brush and other toiletries in it.
I did not use any of the attachments yet, but as stated earlier, they feel sturdy and with the built in adjustments, you should be able to perfectly tune in any length of hair you want unless you are still stuck in the 70's.

The total software package containing Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements work very well together, I was expecting a lot less function for the retail price. I loaded the software on my PC first and everything went well with the install and Windows 10. I really enjoyed how fast the install and first startup took, I was not wasting half my free time getting it setup. Photoshop Elements made quick work to mass amounts of pictures after I went outside and took 50 snap shots, 25 with my Pixel XL and 25 with a Canon T4i. I was really impressed how well it cleared up the photos and made quick work to bring out the colors, especially since the leaves are falling. Premier Elements also made quick work to a few videos I grabbed with my Pixel XL. The software does what it says, all the haze was magically gone, I was amazed. Also, the clarity on my 4K TV was undoubtedly the best home movie I have ever made. I also installed it on my Mac, this is where the deduction from 5 stars comes from. The install was slow, and startup began crashing my 6 month old Mac Book Pro. I had to try it on my wife's MBP as well, it did the same thing, it took a bunch of searching to figure out that I had to force stop all programs from running before the first launch, never heard of this before but it worked.
The interface on both machines is very easy to navigate, anyone that can click a mouse button can make pictures and videos look like a pro, easy peasy
I can honestly say for the hobbyist, this software cannot be matched for the price and I will continue using it a lot.
Add high-end performance to your everyday life with the Google Pixel XL. A quad-core processor, a 5.5-inch LED screen and 32GB of memory ensure this phone is able to handle daily life, and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protects the screen. Easy cloud storage ensures you never run out of space on the Google Pixel XL.

I am ecstatic about this phone, I cannot get enough of it. The phone is beyond smooth and has so many features compared to the older Android devices. The hardware and software work so perfect together. The Pixel XL comes with Nougat 7.1, the absolutely best Android OS ever, period. The integration with apps and their notifications are just flawless. The stock customization is way more than I ever expected to happen from Google. There is no reason to run another launcher or root this phone. The hardware is again, amazing. The screen is much better than the Note 5 or S7. The Camera lives up to the hype, period. Low light still outperforms my Note 5 and S7. The fingerprint scanner works flawlessly and you can also set it to open the notifications by swiping down on the scanner, nice touch Google. The shape of the Pixel was very well thought out, it fits so well in my hand. The included apps and Verizon apps are not over done like in the past, very minimal stuff installed to show it down. The keyboard is also just perfect, the predictable text is the best yet. Google's new assistant is neat, I find myself using it more and more. There are so many features about this phone all I can say is you have to try it for yourself, heck, buy one now! Wifi and Cell signal is great with the Pixel as well, I have the same service as my wife's Note 5 and I get better signal in wifi and data with the Pixel.
I can't even think of everything that there is about the Pixel, there is so much.
The SoundLink Color Portable Bluetooth speaker II was engineered to deliver bold sound wherever life takes you. From the pool to the park to the patio, its rugged, water-resistant design lets you enjoy the music you love in more places. Voice prompts make Bluetooth pairing easy.

I recieved the Bose Soundlink 2 and was very excited to get it working. Once I took it out of the box, I was disappointed that it did not come with a charging block. Right off the bat, I was having to search for an extra one. The unit comes fully charged but will not work unless plugged in at least once for some reason. On to the good, the Soundlink 2 connected to my Android phone in seconds. I then proceeded to download the Bose Connected app and get into it. The connected app is weird when it comes to the volume. You must turn the speaker all the way up for the app volume to work correctly. What ever the speaker volume is set at once the app is connected, is the full volume, so make sure to turn it all the way up before connecting. I listened to multiple genres of music outside on my porch and in my large kitchen. The music carried itself very well but it is no wave radio. The bass is hollow and the highs are tinny. The best music was country music and rock was a close second. But when I turned on electronic and hip hop, it did not sound that great. The speaker is worth the money for most being cordless and portable to anywhere. For the money if ease of portability is not the issue, there is better speakers for the money. I do think it sounds better than the Beats Pill. If you want a good all around speaker, especially for the holiday parties to play holiday music in any room, I highly recommend the Bose Soundlink, but if you are looking to jam with some friends outside, find a stronger system.
Make driving routines more enjoyable with this OverDryve car system. Its voice assistant capabilities let you read and send text messages by command and also play music in your car without taking your hands off the wheel. The built-in dash cam of this OverDryve car system lets you record trips and capture every moment on the road.

Bring any car to the 21st century and a Powerful G
on September 8, 2016
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
First, I always have to comment on the packaging, a lot can be said about the way a company packages their products. The Rand McNally Overdryve arrived in a great box, everything was safely separated and covered for maximum protection.
Once I unboxed the unit, I looked at the booklets and noticed Rand McNally supplies a anti-glare screen protector. I proceeded to install it, and it went on with ease, very high quality. Now it was time to dive into the tablet. It was sent with 60% battery which was nice, I was able to set it up fully without plugging it in. The tablet asks you to connect to wifi, register, which is painless, and asks for no credit card info, which I like. Next I had to connect my phone via Bluetooth and accept some prompts that it was ok to read contacts and messages. After that, I set the audio output to AUX and was all done.
Now, that I have a working setup, I started out by going through the easy to navigate menu and settings. It runs off Android, which is all I use, so nothing new for myself, but anyone will be fine. There is two screens on the front pages, Overdryve’s main page and a separate app page. There is still the traditional Android app drawer as well. It comes with installed apps for music and what I really was happy with, the Navigation.
First off, the navigation is the best I have ever seen, better than any competitor out there I have used, period. I took it in the car and hooked it up to the supplied mount with the GPS antenna and went for a drive. The GPS is just spot on, I know without data, it is going to get me where I want. I took wrong turns on purpose and it changed my route faster than any other GPS unit I have used. If you want a great GPS unit and that's it, this is still a great unit. The GPS was scary spot on, it have to be within 10 inches, I have never seen a unit that perfect.
Next, the dash cam was tried out. You can record in HD quality, with or without sound. It has a 5mp camera and it works very well in daylight. Night time is great in lit areas, but in dark areas it is decent, it is just a tablet camera. I have included a short video with my review(only can be viewed by this link https://youtu.be/F9E8QZi6zLs) of what it looks like during my ride home. I did not have the backup camera to try with the unit, I wish I did, I will be looking into it in the future as an add on for my other car.
The built in phone and messaging apps worked as they should. I was able to read messages and respond via voice recognition. All the buttons are large and easy to read and hit so you can do it fast and keep your eyes on the road. The voice button is on the lower left corner for easy access and keeping your reach to a minimum.
The bluetooth audio app works great via the AUX cord. The app displays the song and artist information very large and has big buttons to skip back, forward, and pause. Sound quality is great when used with the AUX cord. When switched to the FM Modulator, it cut down sound quality and max volume to about 60%, which made it hard to hear with the windows open. Also, the built in speaker was surprisingly loud. I tried it with music and a phone call, I had zero issues hearing the person I was talking to, I am very impressed.
The points of interest seemed to work well once you setup a travel plan in the app, without, it kept asking for a wifi connection. This is one area where I felt they fell short. The unit would be great if you could slip in a sim card and have its own supplied data, instead of having to hit a wifi hotspot or using your phone.
The travel planner also works well, you can set up an entire trip and where you want to stop and it will adjust your routes accordingly. You can add stops for many categories, from amusement parks to sports, to shopping, it's all there.
The monitoring app is useful from what I can tell, I did not have the tire monitor setup to test, which I plan to add for my other car. For the performance section, it uses one of the best softwares in the industry, Dash Command, which is a well known name and just works, simple as that. The unit comes with a 10 minute trial and for $10, it unlocks it. You can have live performance results, use it as a code reader, and more. I have a OBD2 Bluetooth dongle already, so I gave the 10 minutes a whirl in my wife’s 2009 Traverse. It worked great for what I had time to use it for, so I plan to pay the $10 to unlock it.
Now, to say some techy stuff that some will care about. The Overdryve does not include google play services on it. You cannot download apps from the play store, I did not like this personally but it does make the battery last forever, as google services do drain batteries fast. You must use one of the three app services Rand McNally recommends. I chose to download Amazon Apps. What is weird, some apps would work and some refused to install. I tried downloading the Gas Buddy app, which helps find the cheapest gas in the area you are in, needing data to do so, but it would not install.
Overall, the Overdryve’s setup is one to look at, especially in a car without any of these features. I would highly recommend the unit to anyone wanting to bring their hot rod project into the 21st century without cutting their dash up, they would benefit so much from this unit. I plan on running this unit in my 1996 Camaro once I have it back on the road.
I give the unit a 4.5 out of 5. The reason it is not a 5 is no built in data and not being able to download Google Play apps or having apps not install.
I highly recommend the Overdryve to anyone wanting to bring their car up to date or just having a very powerful GPS.

I am a Samsung Fanatic, I love all their products. I was very excited to finally buy a fast charger that I did not have to plug in. The charger was great, for 3 weeks, and then it stopped charging. All I get is Charging paused, with no case and the original charging block and cable that was in the box. I have no case to keep this from working. I am going to just get my money back and keep using the $25 one off amazon I bought for work last week that works faster and better.
Your household is busy streaming media, working online, and playing games every day. This Linksys Wi-Fi Router will expand your network coverage, send signals directly to your devices, and deliver a lag-free connection, even when you~re all online at the same time.

First, the packaging was top notch. Everything is well placed and protected.
I have to start off with the Tri-band technology, it is the best tech I have ever seen on a router in my life. I have pushed this router to a level I never thought I could. I setup the 2.4 GHz for tablets, computers and laptops. The first 5 GHz channel, I have my 4k tv, phones and Chromecasts on. The 2nd 5 GHz I setup just for my 3 gaming systems.
I did an overload test by downloading a large file on 3 computers, kids playing on tablets, streaming a 4k movie and 2 HD movies on my Chromecasts. It handled it perfectly, not one device slowed down.
Also, the 4k streaming is the best I have come across through a router yet. My older router would make it downgrade to 1080 through my network or VUDU. I can now stream perfect 4k through both and Netflix does not buffer anymore.
Distance is another big plus. I walked nearly 500 feet away and this EA9500 was still able to stream a song to my Note 5.
If you are looking for an ultimate router with enough power to run anything you can throw through it, look no further. I would actually not think twice about using it for a small business.
Also, setup was a breeze, Linksys has the instructions and program really dialed in for even the most basic user.
Thanks to Linksys for coming out with a strong contender in the high end router market.
Prevent dead zones around your home with the help of this Linksys Wi-Fi range extender. It works with all types of Wi-Fi routers, and it uses multi-user MIMO for speed and efficiency. This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender can be used to create a different access point or to extend the field of the router~s connection.

First, I would like to say the review is a solid 4.5 out of 5, I could not give it 5 stars in Best Buy because it was not truly a full 5 stars.
The packaging was very simple and not hard to open at all, everything was protected very well. Instructions are included and very simple as this is a simple item.
When I went to install the range extender, I first tried the WPS setup with my AT&T router. I will be honest, I don't know if it is the range extender or the AT&T router, but I could not get a connection no matter what I did, but I have always had issue with AT&Ts gateways over the past few years.
After the WPS/AT&T debacle, I went to my Linksys EA7500 and hit the WPS button and it connected in about 20 seconds. I then went into the setup and made the extender have its own network names so I could test speeds. Doing this worked great as I was easily able to pull down 20Mbps on my device I use for checking speeds and running my home network.
Next setup test I hit the reset button on the extender and started over going directly to the web based setup. I must say this way is a lot faster than the WPS and easier to me. I used my Android device, connected to the extender, went to the web address and in 20 seconds had everything up and running.
While in the extenders easy web based managing, I tried both wireless settings, one being named its own network and one copying the home network. The option when using its own network outperformed the option of copy home network any day. When I connected it as a copy, all the issues arose from nothing loading to tablets freezing, it all went away once I switched back. I can't say for sure this is Linksys’ problem, it may all stem back to the AT&T gateway not liking to be setup as a bridge even though it really can't be.
Lastly, I set it up as a wired access point. All I can say is, if you can do it this way, it should be the only way. The transition throughout the household is now seamless, no dead spots at all and speed never drops. Setup was easy, plug in the Ethernet cable from your router, I use Cat5e run about 50 ft away, and plug it into the wall. Next, go into the web based program address and pick access point, setup and done.
I tested the extender through my home network which consists of a WD 3TB Cloud, Linksys EA7500, Home Network Upnp computer for BubbleUpnp and Kodi. On my home network transferring files were quick and easy and 4k content on my server streamed in 4k through the extender when directly connected to it.
I highly recommend this little beast, the only reason for the 4.5 star review is the WPS issue and the speed issue with copying the home network settings, especially since I was going from Linksys to Linksys and testing it all on the internal network.
Thanks for reading my review, hopefully it was helpful in your decision.
Your household wants to play, stream and work online all at once. With this Linksys router, you can do it all without buffering or other interruptions. Use the Smart Wi-Fi app to get started, control, and monitor your home network from anywhere.

I must say, I was not expecting a huge improvement over my current router, which is a high dollar 2015 model AC1900+ router. I can honestly say I was wrong, this router has my 4k TV actually streaming in 4k now while I had 2 other TVs streaming through chromecasts and 5 android devices connected. With all that connected, I did 5 speed test runs, all hit at or above what AT&T gives me for my speed of 18mbps, with one as high as 21mbps. I did 5 more tests with only one device connected and I received almost the exact same results but never hit the 21 Mbps again, so yes, this router works. My old router, only being 1 year old, was SISU and would drop to single digit speeds when more than 3 devices were connected. Installation was not easy for me, not Linksys' fault, it was AT&T and the horrible gateway router they supply for their service. If you have AT&T Uverse with the Motorola Gateway, pay for the Geek Squad installation, especially if you do not have the knowledge or ability to try every setup you can find online as I did, which I ended up with my own settings. If you do plan to install it yourself, make sure to have a computer near both your modem and the router, laptop works to. With AT&T, I had to set the EA7500 router to be in Bridge mode with auto DHCP settings checked and on AT&Ts gateway, just make sure to set it as the gateway's IP to 192.168.1.254 and the start IP at 192.168.1.1 and end to 192.168.1.253 and set your DHCP lease to 25 days or more. Also, make sure you name the 2.4g and 5g access points differently from each other and AT&Ts WiFi. The Smart WiFi App is very useful as well. It is not as in depth as the actual control panel for the router accessed through your router but gives quick and easy adjustments. My WD My Cloud is very quick to load through this router compared to my old router, which makes for streaming local content very seamless and keeps the original quality no matter how many devices online.
I highly recommend this router to anyone, I ,am very happy with the service it provides.
On a last note, I had to call Linksys for a tech question, the CS was very helpful and professional, which is rare anymore.

What's great about it: Multiple devices do not slow it down
What's not so great: Time consuming to set it up with AT&T gateways

I received the soundbar and found it to have great packaging which gave me hope, companies that spend time on good packaging usually care for the products they sell.
Once I unpackaged the soundbar, I read the instructions which are great for the non-tech crowd. Very easy to install on the wall since a pattern for the mounting points is included. You have 2 options for wired sound input, 1 coxial and 1 digital optical cable. I found this useful because I have 2 audio sources, so I can run both to the sound bar.
Now that I was all setup, I started trying multiple movies and sound sources. The mids to highs are amazing for a lower price point soundbar. The low is not extreme by any means, but for normal TV viewing or bass at night when the kids are asleep, it is perfect. I have a full 7.1 system for real killer sound. The surround effect from the sound bar fills the room with great delightful sound and even at a far distance, gives a movie theater like experience.
Next was the Bluetooth, it connected to multiple Android devices within seconds, sound was crisp and did not have any weird noises, it may be mainly from the quality of the Bluetooth output of the devices, but I did not get the noises some were reporting.
If you are looking for a great soundbar at a low price point, look at this one, especially if you get it on sale, snag it quick!
