Really good earache drops. Let me tell you, that ever since I had an ear infection for swimming on a pool for hours and not drying my ear canals, I have had to be very careful everytime I take a swim or even a bath, always having to dry my ear canals, otherwise I get swimmers ears and discomfort. I was a little worried about the thought of dropping some liquid inside my ear canals, but let me tell you, if you can get past that thought and weird feeling, these drops are really good. First, the liquid doesn't have any weird smells and is not oily at all, it is just a liquid. And the ingredients are mostly natural (like chamomile and others). I've used them a few times when I forgot to dry my ear canals after a swim or bath and I started to have some discomfort, and these felt refreshing and soothing in my ear. Any pain was gone and felt much better. Obviously, if you ever have some ear troubles, always consult with a doctor. But in my case, since I always had these issues and precautions since my childhood, it is a really good product and it works. At first, it felt weird dropping some liquid inside my ear canals, but I got used to them and the results are great. If you have pain due swimmers ears, a bad allergy or cold, these will really help you, still, I insist to always visit a doctor if your issues don't go away soon, an ear infection are no joke! Highly recommend them as an natural/homeopathic way to relieve the occasional discomfort!

I'm liking this air fryer a lot. It came very nicely packaged and they included a grill and metal skewers and a recipe book as a bonus!
Setting it up was easy. They recommend washing the inner pans and then doing a "test run" without any food. I definitely did that, as it got rid of any "new product" smell. Then I downloaded their app and set it up. At first you create an account, then you have to connect to the wifi network the fryer creates. From there you can enter your home's wifi credentials and you are done. Now the fryer connects to your home's wifi. If you do so, the app will send you alerts whenever you are cooking (like an alert when preheating is done, if you need to shake-turn over your food, cooking done etc). You can also search recipes within the app itself.
I love that it has a preheating function, this helps the cooking process. It has several preset buttons for different types of food (each one you can customize to your liking, like the cooking time, temp) like meats, poultry, veggies, fries, fish etc. Some of them already have a shake alert, that will let you know halfway that you have to shake your food for even cooking. It's highly recommended that you oil up your food a little bit, or even better you can use a spray can of oil, which is what I do. Anything you can fry with oil, you can fry with this air fryer, cutting down on unhealthy oils. I have done asparagus, fries, breaded chicken breasts and so far all of them have come out amazing, highly recommend it if you want to eat healthy!
Finally, I love that the inner pans detach, for a very easy cleaning. They are machine wash ok, however I highly recommend you hand wash the pans, they are easy to clean as they are non stick. If you hand wash them gently they will last you forever! They are plenty big to, tons of space for food! I was also nicely surprised they include a set of metal skewers and the grill stand they go on as a bonus, I'm definitely going to fry me some yummy chicken breasts and veggies skewers!

Very simple to use standing fan. It is very sturdy and has some heft to it (not that heavy, but enough, to notice it). It comes apart on a box. The instructions were clear (just a pamphlet) and it was very easy to put together (not tools needed). The base is very wide (make sure you have room), giving the fan a very sturdy positioning (it's not flimsy and will not wobble or fall). The middle of the metal rod has a plastic knob that allows you to ease the pressure and you can adjust the height of the fan (at its maximum extension, it's not that high, I would say it reaches chest level, and I am not that tall), but it's enough, because the upper part of the fan can tilt up and down (so if you want air shooting up to your ceiling, floor, or just straight up, you can do it).
The fan is completely manual, there is no timer or no fancy electronics, it just has 4 buttons, 3 for different speeds (low, medium, high) and one to turn it off. Just by pressing a button on the back of the fan you can make it turn automatically like any other fan out there. If you pull it, it will stay stationary. It blows tons of air, and what I like the most is that its very quiet. Certainly not silent, but the noise is non obtrusive and its of a non annoying pitch. I have it on my room and I can still watch TV without it bothering me. Very well constructed, I highly recommend it!

Really good phone case. I love the feel. It's made from silicone, but has almost a velvety feel on the exterior, however, compared to other silicone cases, this one does not attract any lint or stuff onto it (if you had silicone cases in the past you know what I mean). The grip on my hand feels great and the phone is not slipping away anytime soon! I also love the interior, it has a soft, almost cloth material, that certainly will be good for your phone and will not scratch it.
The fit is perfect, all the cut outs for the mute switch, speakers and charging port are perfectly aligned. The button covers for the volume rocker and power switch are also perfectly aligned and feel great to the touch, pressing on the buttons is as responsive on the phone as if having it naked.
The lips all around the screen and also on the back around the camera lenses are raised, so that way if you put your phone down on a desk or so, it won't make contact directly with it.
The case is also fully magsafe compatible and it attaches no problem to any magsafe chargers or holders, as you can see on my pic (you don't see my phone in the case on the pics, as I had to use my iPhone to take them, but trust me, the fit is perfect and I love the feel on my hands!).
Highly recommend it, protect your expensive iPhone!!

This machine is top of the line fully automatic brew, great balanced result, it does take a few minutes to set up, program and figure out but so worth the wait, the result is a perfectly brewed cup of coffee regardless of the size or boldness level desired which you can pick before brewing.
A couple of things that are not a big issue but you might want to be aware of is this machine will only brew individual cups up to 24 oz but will not brew a whole coffee pot, although it has the option to use pre ground coffee, the result with freshly ground beans is so much better and also the second point is that when you want to brew pre ground coffee over ice it only does up to 16 oz, but have to say I absolutely enjoy this new machine.
I also like that it has a large water reservoir, so you don't have to fill up water all the time, it lasts me for a long time. Apart from that, I love that most of its panel is digital. It automatically grounds the coffee and brews it at the exact dose you want it to. You can choose light, gold, bold, espresso and iced coffee. I also love the auto on coffee, I have my coffee ready and waiting for me each morning, hands down, best coffee maker I've had!

Good band for apple watches. I use it with my 45mm apple watch series 7 and fit was perfect. It was easy to install. Once installed I had to fiddle a little bit with it to have it tight enough, took me a little while to figure it out to pull and tighten. The material is nylon, but it really feels like a nice fabric type one. I like this band better for exercising than the factory one (the factory one was the plasticky type one) because it's way much better with sweat. It doesn't feel "sticky" on my wrist once I start sweating while working out. Its nice that is a one fit also for other sizes and series of watches, not just one type. So if ever change watches, chances is I can keep it and use it with my new watch. Also, the part that attaches to the watch itself, seems to use the same mechanism as the factory ones, so installing it and taking it out was as easy as pressing the little button on the watch and sliding it in and out, no problems with compatibility there.
Highly recommend it if you need a different band, specially if you exercise and sweat a lot like me!

Great little device for percussive massages. Its very small and portable, as its name. They include a nice carrying pouch, a type C USB charging cable (no adapter) and 3 different types of attachments for different types of massages (Standard Ball, Dampener, Thumb). The device is bluetooth enabled and you can download their app. Using it in conjunction with their app will give you some advantages, like real time display of force, battery etc (check my pictures) but also the ability to tell the app what you want to use the device more (like to recoup after exercises, or just for plain joint/back pain etc). I use it mainly for chronic upper back/neck pain and it has nice routines for it I follow while connected to the app.
The 3 included attachments are for different uses and will give you different results. In example, I use mainly the dampener one, because the area of my pain is a bony one, so it's the softest and best for that area. It really alleviates my upper back/neck pain (I have cervical radiculopathy). I use the app routines for that during the day, and the device is small enough I can carry it with me and I use it while at work. The included soft carrying pouch is nice. It will definitely fit in a purse, bag or backpack. While being very portable, it's not that quiet though, so if silence is a must (ie if you are at work), you can either have it at the lowest strength or wait until you have a break to use it.
I highly recommend it if you have pain and are looking for something small enough and portable, it definitely works and has given me tremendous relieve to my pain through the work day!

Amazing monitor, once you go Oled, you can't go back. And in this case, it's the newer gen QD-Oled. Came well protected in its box, and it's super thin and light. They include a remote control (great), a mini Display port cable, a huge power brick, a metal stand and also a Vesa adapter in case you want to arm/wall mount it.
First, this is a "smart" monitor, Samsung has included many smart functions you may find in their premium TVs, but they are mainly geared towards gamers. You can stream many games using Xbox and Geforce Now services if you wish, there are also tons of apps for media consumption. Setup was easy, and upon first boot, the menu was kind of sluggish, but after subsequent use it has gotten faster (I hope Samsung can improve performance on future updates). I love that the monitor is wifi enabled, so if there are any firmware updates, they come automatically via internet, no more hunting for them online and flashing from a USB drive! Once you got thru the initial setup you can start using their apps or if you wish, straight up to your PC. They include Display port 1.4, HDMI 2.1 ports, USB C with charging!. However, their video ports are of the MINI variety. I wish they were just regular sized ones. They do include the necessary Mini Display port, however no mini HDMI, this one is a con, should have been included too.
I connected my Geforce RTX 3080 using the included Mini Display port to Display port cable, went onto windows and enabled the native resolution of 3440x1440, 175hz and 10 bit (yes, 10 bit works at those HZ!, they are probably using DSC since the display port is 1.4). I also enabled G-sync (although not officially certified by Nvidia, does works). Gaming on SDR is amazing, the response time is like no other, and there is no lag and no black smearing (unlike VA panels). Colors are punchy and blacks are perfect since this is a QD-Oled self emissive panel.
Then I enabled HDR on windows. I will tell you what settings to enable if you want to have it the best way and hitting 1000 nits (although its TrueHDR 400) if you calibrate my way, it can still hit super bright highlights without clipping. To properly achieve HDR 1000 nits mode:
-Set HDR10+ GAMING to OFF -Game HDR to OFF -Peak brightness to HIGH.
Then (this step is crucial), download the windows HDR calibration app from the windows store and set the clipping point around 2000 nits (blacks obviously at 0) and any in-game HDR calibration should also be set to max peak 2000 nits.
This will give you the best HDR performance and you will be blown away! Colors pop and its so bright! If you don't want to have HDR enabled all the time (windows desktop), you can use the combo of keys Winkey+alt+B to enable and disable HDR anytime you want. I only enable it when I'm going to play a game that supports HDR.
Also, don't be scared of Oled burn it, I have had Oled displays for a long time and as long as you are watching varied content and not displaying the same static images you will be fine. The key is to vary your content consumption. And also, make sure care settings are enabled (on this monitor its Pixel shift, logo brightness). The display will also perform its own pixel refreshes after certain amount of hours of use. Also, one thing I recommend on windows, is don't use any desktop icons (I have moved all of mine to the taskbar), use a full black desktop background and make it so the taskbar automatically disappears and appears when you move your mouse over it. Highly recommend this monitor, once you go Oled, there is no going back!
TLDR:
PROS: +Instant response +Pure blacks +175Hz +Gsync compatible (not officialy), Freesync premium pro. +HDR performance is amazing. +Thin, lightweight and superb quality, all metal frame around screen. +Game bar +Game hub and apps +Firmware updates over internet +Remote control
CONS -Mini Display port, mini HDMI, should have been regular sized ones, or at least also include a mini HDMI cable (mini display port one included). -Huge power brick (understandable though, the monitor is so THIN!, there was no place to put it). -Risk of burn in, if you don't take care of it (read my recommendations).

Great Dram upgrade kit. It's meant for any PC's with SODIMM slots (typically for laptops or small form factor desktops). The kit is a dual channel kit, so it's meant to be installed in pairs for better performance. It comes inside a hard plastic cover. I knew the upgrade was going to be ease as Crucial makes great products, however always check your PC/Laptop manufacturer's RAM compatibility list. In my case, the upgrade was super easy. Pop the back cover, remove the old ram (I had just one sodimm of 8 gigs) and pop in the new ones. Remember to always enable XMP profiles to be able to achieve the 3200 mhz, otherwise your PC may try to run the kit at 2666 mhz. My computer just said RAM amount changed and started as usual. Windows detected the new amount of ram right away and I can definitely tell the improvement in speed. 32 GB is definitely getting there as the standard now. With new PC games requiring that as a minimum (looking at you, Hogwarts legacy). If you also do video editing or some work that requires lots of RAM, this kit will definitely serve you. My PC boots super fast and there is no virtual mem swapping or anything. Highly recommend this kit to anyone looking to upgrade your setup! Even if you think you don't need 32 Gb, I would just future proof it and go for it, considering the price is so good.

I'm loving this sound amplifier, it's so versatile! The package includes a headphone band for both ears and also one earbud for only one ear, you can choose which one to use. They also include a mic that attaches directly to the device, that way you can carry it on your hip (they include a clip for your pants) or you can carry it on your neck using the included lanyard. If you just want to use it to amplify conversations or sounds near you, you can attach the included mic directly on the device. If you want to use it to better listen to a TV, music or some specific device, they include very large extension cable, and you attach the mic to it and you can place it near your device's speakers. The cable is very large and I use it that way to place the mic underneath my TV. They include a couple of clips with double sided tape so you can hide the mic on the back of your TV or the wall, whatever you prefer. I seat all to one extreme of my room across the TV and the included cable still has plenty of slack. Sounds are natural and you can fine tune your volume to your preference. The device uses just a pair of regular AAA batteries, so no need to charge (unless you use rechargeable ones), which is great, if your batteries die, just replace, easy. The included earbud and headband are very comfy, they are just common ones and they have a comfy foam, like older earbuds, you don't have to put anything inside your ear canals. I highly recommend it and if you hate putting things inside your ear canal or having to fiddle with hearing aids inside your ear canals, you will love this device, which I am, I can listen to my TV a night at a very low volume and I don't disturb any other family members sleeping!!!
