Best iPad ever? I would say so...
on July 7, 2022
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is possibly the best iPad to date. The Pro models can tend to be way too pricey for a tablet, but this is probably "The Sweet Spot" for a tablet in 2022.
I say that because it's the perfect size, has great sounding speakers, love the Touch ID, love the Center Stage front facing camera with super wide angle (keeps everyone in the frame with minimal effort). The M1 chip makes it "future-proof", and the screen is just super vivid. Oh, and the Touch ID....I'll take that over facial recognition any day...works very well in either landscape or portrait mode (set those options during set up).
I bought mine at the N Canton Best Buy (Ohio). They were very helpful as usual. They price-matched Amazon not only on the iPad Air 5, but also the Otterbox Defender case, saving me over $100 between the two.
I also have a MacBook Pro 15" which I use for photo editing, etc. But this is nice to have as a back-up, and also allows me to have two screens at once which can be handy in the days we find ourselves in.
Def very happy!! Keeper!!

Perfect mouse...and for $15? Wow...

I got this nice little comfortable mouse for $10 seeing that I had $5 in rewards points. It comes with two AAA batteries. It connects easily to my M1 MacBook Air. It is super comfortable (I do have small hands). The scrolling mechanism seems to be quality, and easily scrolls up and down. I saw some negative comments about that, but had no issues with it personally.
Actually I like this mouse so much, I'll buy another one and keep on the shelf as a backup.

This is a must-have for the casual photographer who wants to get good shots with a cell phone. I like how you can lock the grips to a certain width so you can easily put your phone back in. Makes it very convenient.

Must be formatted for a Mac, but easy to do...
on June 23, 2022
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
This isn't a SDD nor is it formatted for a Mac, but I didn't really notice much of a difference in speed when I used a SSD type external drive on my M1 MacBook Air.
It was fairly simple to format for a Mac (under disk utilities app on any MacBook), and I got 2TB of storage for HALF of what 1 TB cost in a SanDisk SSD.
So I'd say this is a lot of bang for the buck, especially if you get it on sale (I did). And a side bonus: It matches the silver color of my MacBook Air M1, and fits in my case that I already have. You can get similar cases from Buy for about $10.
2 TB is a must-have for photographers!!

I would give it a 6 star rating if I could...wow.
on June 21, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is literally THE BEST MacBook ever created by Apple. I saw that it went on sale for $1799 and I snagged one immediately.
Finally....Apple listened to their customers in the photography field and put that SD card slot on the right side. Dongles are annoying beyond annoying. Plus the HDMI port on the side, allowing you to easily connect it to a large screen for presentations, etc. Oh, and as a bonus they kept the 3,5mm headphone jack! Yes!!
Onward...the screen....XDR Liquid Retina? Wow. Just wow. MagSafe charger? Blacked out keyboard? I mean it's literally PERFECT. The sound that comes out of those four speakers is truly amazing, as well...no need to connect to a bluetooth speaker. They sounds REALLY good. Plenty of bass and treble, too.
And 14" is just the perfect size. 13" maybe can be too small...and many complain that 16" is just too big and heavy for many people.
So I am super happy with this laptop. I had just purchased the M1 Air recently, and went ahead and exchanged it (I have 60 days since I am TotalTech), and it was def worth paying the difference.
Note: There's a rugged case (Amazon) on the MacBook in these photos. I would not use this beautiful laptop for 2 seconds without a hard case on it. Hope to have this baby for at least ten years...

It's not too bad for a budget minded purchase...on sale....but...the analog dial leaves ya guessing as to exact temp, etc. So I'll have to use this one in the garage and get a digital one for the kitchen.

By BMunster
I think the 50" QLED is the way to go. Huge 65" TVs show more flaws in the picture, and tend to look kind of gawdy in a small room. I don't think a lot of people see it that way.
Love the Ambient Mode feature, although I wish you could use a flash drive of your own photos instead of the sample pics they offer. That definitely should be changed next time.
At $649 I thought it was a pretty good deal. Very happy with it.

Why not be able to upload multiple photographs?
April 17, 2020
I love this TV, but as an amateur photographer, I would love to be able to upload multiple photos so that the Ambient Mode function turns into a slide show instead of simple being able to display one photo constantly. It appears that it's limited to one photo. Am I correct?

5 out of 5Most Bang for your Buck…
By BMunster
I know the 9th Gen IPad isn’t full of the latest greatest in technology, and it APPEARS to be the same as the 8th Gen IPad, but…
It has a new front facing camera with Center Stage technology….a faster processor, and a few other updates including more memory. And….they price matched Amazon so I got mine for $299.
I couldn’t justify the additional couple hundred bucks to go with the mini 6 or the iPad Air. And call me old, but I love the simplicity of the traditional “Home” button.
I think I kind of stole it @ $299…

5 out of 5Bella Small Size May Fool You - Generous Capacity
By pauldar

The Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer is disguised as compact air fryer. However, after using it for three weeks I discovered this versatile air fryer is an efficient counter top appliance, which enables healthier cooking for Grandma and me. I can Air Fry, Broil, Bake, Roast, and Reheat with little or no oil. And, the best part is that healthier air fried foods are just as tasty and delicious as if they were deep-fat fried. How cool is that?
This Bella Pro Series air Fryer is a cut above the rest of the Bella Houseware Kitchen products and is designed for higher performance. It is made of mostly plastic with a non-stick coated steel frying basket and crisping tray. The frying basket has a 'cool-touch' handle, and the body of the whole unit is finished in finger print resistant, matte black. It blends in with all of my Kitchen appliances and the bottom of this unit has four rubberized non-skid feet to keep it stable. It is lightweight enough to be portable and I often move it about on different places as needed. My counter tops are heat resistant. The manufacturer suggests placing this air fryer on heat-resistant work spaces in order to avoid counter top damage. This unit pulls in air to circulate over the 1200 watt heating element in a circular vent at the top of the unit. Heat is exhausted out of the back of this unit so the manufacturer suggest to keep a four inch clearance from walls or other objects during operation. When removing the frying basket it is important to place it on a heat-resistant surface, or trivet because it will be hot.
Advantages of this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer:
* Healthier cooking using little or NO oils whatsoever. Air Frying is the new approach to reduce cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids in cooking oils. Again, I am amazed at how tasty air frying is and good for my health too. YooHoo!
* Quickly cooks vegetables, meats, fish, and poultry without preheating. Holds up to to two quarts of volume. Enough French Fries to serve my four Grand Kids when they visit and want a snack. WoW!
* High performance circular heat technology. Distributes heated air flow for faster cooking. It cooks the foods more evenly and makes them crispier too. YUMMY!
* Responsive and easy to learn Touchscreen Controls. Preset functions with preset temperatures and times. However, the time and temperature can easily be changed manually at any time during the cooking process. By using the marked Up & Down Time and Temperature arrows both Time & Temperature can be decreased, and, or Increased. This is important when cooking foods, then pausing to shake, and or, turn the food items half way through the cooking process. I can easily tell when I need to add or increase the temperature or time.
* Safety features include the pausing of the preset cooking choices when the frying basket is pulled out of the air fryer. The cooking process will resume immediately when the fryer basket is installed back into the main body. The unit will Not cook if the fryer basket is NOT installed. The unit can be turned OFF by pressing the Power Button for two seconds. After 60 minutes this unit will automatically turn OFF and sound an audible tone.
* Care and Maintenance is NOT complicated. The frying basket and crisping tray are easily cleaned in my Kitchen sink with soapy water, and. by hand as I prefer. They can also be put in the Dishwasher, but I think they last longer if cleaned by hand. The main body of this Bella air fryer can easily be cleaned with a damp dish cloth.
* Be aware there is a learning curve to the process of air frying. Pausing the cooking process half way through the presets is very important. I can easily determine if I need to continue with the same preset Times and Temperature, or, if either one needs to be changed. The Bella Touchscreen makes this a simple adjustment.
* Tips – Placing a piece of aluminum foil under the crisping tray makes clean-up much easier, especially when air frying, roasting,or broiling fatty meats. Make sure the 'shiny' side is facing up. It reflects heat much better under the crisping tray. Try re-heating foods in this Bella instead of your microwave. This Bella reheats foods more evenly and thoroughly. Love It!
* This Bella Air Fryer is quite an energy saver compared to my conventional six cubic foot oven. The Bella only uses 1.2 KW, while my conventional oven uses upwards to 4 KW and takes much longer to preheat and cook. The Bella is fantastic in comparison.
I highly recommend this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer. Me and Grandma are amazed how quickly this unit prepares our foods in less time then it takes to preheat my conventional oven. We were very skeptical at first because healthier foods aren't supposed to taste this good, or are they? Buy a Bella Air Fryer and find our for yourself . This unit is ideal for a couple, or family of four with two small children. This Bella is inexpensive, and may actually pay for itself over time compared to using your conventional oven. Makes a great wedding, housewarming, or just a special gift to that particular person or family member on your list.
