The Vornado 660 features dramatic gloss and matte finishes and sleek lines. Its whole-room vortex action empowers the 660 to move air up to 100 feet. A chrome glide bar enables a full 90-degree tilt, and push-button controls located at the top of the product allow for easy selection of its four speed settings. Maintenance is simple with a detachable grill that provides easy access to the blades.

This fan is awesome! I'm not a huge fan of the buttons, but it is what it is. The design of the fan looks modern and slick. Wish it could oscilate, but that's not what it's built for: it's built to just push air far and hard enough that the air circulates back towards the fan.
Using this in a medium sized room and at setting 2 (out of 4, 1 being lowest, 4 being the turbo speed) it circulates the air very well. During the warmer days of spring (upper 70s) it definitely helps air from being stale.
Setting 1 has got to be my favorite. It still pushes air but it's low enough to be inaudible. I use this setting to help push air during warm but not hot days.
Turbo mode or setting 4 is the worse in terms of audio. It certainly pushes air very well, to the point that you may not want to do it with loose papers or napkins around.
Overall this is the best fan I've purchased in a long time. But time will tell if the cost justifies it's life span.

Works just fine. Runs well on Windows 10. Haven't had any issues just yet. **I did notice that in order for it to work and be properly recognized by my PC I had to set the region to mine, otherwise it would just keep ejecting any disc I put in it.

+Light and comfortable
+Extra long cord, packaged with a wire wrap to keep clutter minimal
+Packed with 3 different sized tips
-Extra long cord can be a hassle even with the wire wrap.
-Only 1 button on the mic for pause/play/hangup/answer. There's a Sony app you can download on Android to add more functionality.
Overall these are great earbuds. They don't have the best bass, but they're also not muddy sounding, which I really appreciate. For being a cheaper set of earbuds, they did seem to sound bad at first when it came to the higher tones, but seemed to level out after burning in.
These are also some of the smallest and most comfortable noise isolating buds I've used to date! I'm normally able to fit the medium/default tips that earbuds come with, so same with these. They fit fantastically, so much so that I can sleep with these on comfortably.
If none of the tips work out, you can always switch out for foam tips. Comply tips T200 for comfort for these buds.
Overall, very good set! Would buy again!

Using this for my car audio. Nice, thick cable, semi-flat (thicker than most cables), plays audio just fine. I like that the 3.5mm plug isn't so big that you have to remove your phone case to get to the plug.
We'll see if it can withstand the Cali heat when summer rolls around.

Pros:
Convenience - plug and play, it just works as advertised.
Comfortable - earpads aren't stiff or overbearing. And the headband cushion isn't too thin.
Features - Included 3.5mm male-to-male so the headset/headphones can be used even if the battery dies, also allows the headphones to be used with other devices with a headphone jack.
Customizable EQ - Though it does require the Headset app, and having to load the EQ every single time you turn on your PS3/4, but the option is good to have.
Cons:
Construction - I've seen tons of reviews stating the quality of the headband. I haven't broken mine or anything, but I can definitely tell the quality is just OK. They definitely seem like they won't survive a trip in my luggage if I take em on the plane, but would if I hand carried them.
Not too accurate advertising - there's only about 8-10 games that the developers created specially tuned eq's for. None of them I play.
Overall this is a pretty OK headset. From my point of view, I can't review the chat function as I don't use these to chat online, but mainly to listen to movies or game when I don't want to wake the household. Also I didn't put sound quality in either pros or cons as that's completely a subjective item, but for me, I've definitely heard much better sound quality. I own 3 sets of Sennheiser headphones. One of them being the HD 280 Pro, a sometimes sub $100 headphones (no chat capabilities) that produces a much better sound signature than the Sony headphones. Frankly, I'm kind of disappointed with Sony about the sound reproduction with these. Sony has been in the audio business for many years - not sure if their PlayStation branch didn't go to their Studio/Audio branch to help develope these into some awesome cans. They may have, but the sound quality is a major "meh" to me. Now I'm no audiophile, but I do greatly appreciate great sounding headphones. These don't produce great mids, bass is OK, and treble is on the comfortable side.

This is as simple as it gets. 24", HD (not Full HD), no smart features needed, enough ports for my needs, and a sturdy enough stand. Black Friday price was pretty much a steal, and the picture quality is good.

Bought this to replace an older surge protector that had the plugs all close together. Wanted one that at least had a couple of them separated or spaced apart from the others. This one pretty much does the job. Like how it's rectangular shape makes it easy to fit behind my table. No bells and whistles (coaxial passthrough, no USB, etc) but it's perfect for my needs.

I've always used a larger mouse for as long as I can remember, all of them palm gripped. After buying this, I now know my preferred mouse is finger gripped. It's light, smooth on any surface, and tracks accurately. Lift off tracking isn't a problem, and since the mouse is so light it's easier to maneuver around, and requires much less desk space.
The extra top buttons are easy to press with either my index finger or ring finger or middle finger. The extra feature of having the lighting options is nice but I rarely fiddle with it after I've chosen my color.
Logitech software is, as always, not too system resource heavy, and the option to save my setting in the mouse itself is definitely a plus.
Overall this is a great mouse. It's light, tracks well, and there's ample buttons to satisfy even some MMO gamers.

I purchased this vacuum last month, and so far so good. It picks up pretty much everything I've tossed at it: dirt, dust, puppy kibble, hair, lint, and small rocks. Both hardwood, linoleum, and short rugs. I don't have carpet, but I have used it on my couch on the 2nd faster setting. So far what I've seen, the 2nd setting only just increases the power/speed of the brush, not the actual suction power.
Vacuum comes with a ton of the typical accessories: extension pipe, crevice tool, brush tool, duster/curtain tool, floor duster, and powered carpet/upholstery brush.
The motor is light, and cord management for storage is simple. I have it mounted on a wall for storage, but the built in standing storage is easy and space saving.
The washable and reusable filter is a plus as well. I know eventually it will require a replacement as the foam doesn't look too durable, but so far so good - and no loss of suction yet. Will update when that starts to happen.
Overall, a fantastic, versatile vacuum.

What is the noise (DB) level on this vacuum?

Don't have an exact number, but I'd guess almost equivalent to a floor fan on the highest setting. With the carpet/upholstery attachment, add like 20dB to that

How would customers rate the edge cleaning capability?

4/5 - I have a rug that has rubber edges and sometimes it takes a couple more passes at different angles to pick everything up with the carpet attachment. When it comes to corners on hardwood I've had no issues with the floor duster attachment.

Does this vacuum cleaner have an attachment that cleans under beds

Yes. If your bed is high off the ground, you'll have no problems with the floor duster or even the carpet/upholstery attachment. You may have a hard time if your bed is too low as the suction pipe is located near the top of the motor.

i installed a xfx r9 390 graphics card - the box says minimum 750w - i am going to purchase the corsair 750 - does the graphics card need both the 8 & 6 pins connected from the power supply- the only thing on computer now is a toshiba 1TB hard drive and dvd/cd drive - replacing a nvidia msi 4g card that came with computer
Yes, should be enough. I'm running an R9 290 that requires the same power requirements and same 1x6 and 1x8 pin PCI plugs.

Where to return if it breaks?

Do i take it to bestbuy or send it to razer?
Depends. If you got the Geek Squad protection - Best Buy. If you didn't and it's still under warranty - contact Razer. If you don't fall under both of those, I'd still try contacting Razer. If it's a defect in craftsmanship or just stops working, Razer should be able to do something for you. Just make sure you registered your mouse on their website.
