I have two cats and I am always cleaning up after them. From pieces of food, to litter, to hair, it never stops. I need a light, ultra portable vacuum with great suction and this Hoover exceeded my expectations.
It comes with a battery that is interchangeable with a wide array of other products, plus a couple of handy attachments. The battery holds a long charge and I could not believe the amount of suction and low noise from this amazing little machine.
After some cat cleanup, I tried it on my living room chairs with the upholstery attachment and once again, it did an amazing job.Then I took it out to my car and it did an incredible job on the floors, seats, dash and crevices.
Emptying the filter is super easy and leaves no mess. This is exactly what I needed in a hand held vacuum and I will definitely check out the other Hoover OnePwr devices.

Adding these rooms sensors were just as easy as adding the door sensors and Smart Camera; just scan the QR code and within seconds, they are added to my system in the Ecobee app.
As instructed, I placed them on a shelf thats about 4 feet high in my office and then another one in my bedroom. They come with little stands built in or you can use the included adapter to stick them on a wall. I may actually do that for the one in my bedroom.
Now I have the peace of mind of knowing that if I am away, i'll know if someone is in my house and I have it all on video!
My home monitoring system is now complete, I might even get the Ecobee thermostat to replace my Nest.

I have also been adverse to getting a home alarm systems, I always seem to mess them when I go to someones house so I never really thought of getting one, at least not the traditional system. Along with the Ecobee Smart Camera, Room Sensors and these SmartSensors, now I have peace of mind when I leave my home.
As witht he others products int he line, setup is simple! Just scan the QR codes on the product labels with the Ecobee app, line them up at the top opening of a door, remove the back of the stick on tape and bam, I now I have sensors on my front door and patio door! I will now know if someone came in when I am gone and there is even a motion center built in if they came in through a window.
They are small enough to not stick out too much, and give me the peace of mind I needed for a fantastic price!

I have a condo in a fairly safe area, but wanted an inexpensive, easy to use home monitoring system for when I go away. This Ecobee system is exactly what I needed.
The along with door and room sensors could not be easier to set up. Download the Ecobee app, create an account, scan the QR code on the device label and bam, you're ready to go. I placed this on my bar between a couple of bottles, on the opposite end of the condo from my front door. I barely notice it's there, but I love that is.
The security of the Ecobee system seems terrific with two factor authentication through text message. The Haven service that stores cloud activity is only $5 per month after the a first month trial which seems completely reasonable for the peace of mind it provides.
The camera itself is fantastic. It automatically turns off when I'm home and when I leave I get a wonderful wide angle of my entire kitchen, living room, dining room and the 2 entrances into my home. The picture is crystal clear and I can even pan and zoom in if I want. Alexa is built in which I don't find useful since I have a Sonos setup with Alexa nearby. I do love the intercom feature, if I am away and schedule a pet sitter I can check in on them. It's fun to have some fun with the cats too.
For my first foray with home security, I could not be happier with this camera and the rest of the Ecobee products.

I have been using a different pair of wireless headphones but they are not so comfortable so I wanted to try something different. JBL is a brand I've always enjoyed and this headset has not let me down. The set comes with the wireless receiver for my PS4, a charging cable and a 3.5mm cable for when you want a wired connection.
Setup with my PS4 could not have been easier. As soon as I plugged in the receiver and powered the system on, it immediately recognized my headset and I was ready to go. I played a friend online in a game of MLB The Show and the sound was amazing. It was like I had a home theater system on my ears.
The music, the announcers, the crack of the at...everything sounded so real and intense. My buddy heard me perfectly on the other side and I know he was jealous about my sound experience.
I also paired the headset to my phone and while I have other audio options, these were beasts. I love the controls that easily accessible, the battery life has been fantastic and they are super comfortable to wear , which was important to me after my last headset.
This headset makes me want to play more games which says a lot.

I have always admired the Bang & Olafsen brand and this is my first opportunity to really use one of their products and I was not let down. I have tried many different in-ear true wireless headphones and these might just be the best one's I've used.
They come in a very nice leather case that charges via the included USB-C cable or wirelessly. Even the charging cable is high quality. As I let them charge I downloaded the B&O app and let then set them up with my iphone which was an absolute breeze to do. The app is easy to use and gives options to adjust the sound as well as great tutorials for the setup of the buds.
It comes with multiple earpiece options but the ones that came attached worked perfectly for me. Once set up I blasted some music and fell in love with the sound. Everything sounded as it should, bass was great, mids and lows weren't too high, just perfect. The controls are very simple to use and the noise cancellation is outstanding. I have Airpod Pro's and I find the B&O's to be a much better experience.
I do sales and have been working from home and I keep one of these in my ear at all times to take calls and listen to light music while working. Calls sound great and everyone can hear me perfectly. The battery life is phenomenal as well.
Now my only problem is that I want some Bang & Olafsen speakers in my home since these headphones are so amazing.

I was skeptical of the performance of this speaker due to the price point but I have been pleasantly surprised by both the sound and the lighting effects.
It is very easy to use with the included remote control and pairing was simple with my iPhone. Once set up, my music sounded great for such a small speaker and the various light colors and effects will make this a fun addition for outside gatherings once our shelter at home ban is lifted.
Looking forward to using this speaker a lot.

I am doing a lot more printing at home now and the normal inkjet printers just aren't cutting it for me any more. I needed something more reliable for bulk printing, fast, easy to use and economical. This HP Neverstop fits the bill.
- Set was simple. I plugged it in, download the HP Smart App, easily connected the printer and within minutes I was printing. I love that I could connect it to my network on the app and not on a tiny screen like most printers
- Speed. This thing is fast. Minimal lag time when printing from my laptop or iPhone.
- Quality printing. My printouts look terrific, clear, no bleeding and deep blacks.
- Small footprint. I love that this printer takes up less space than most laser printers. Doesn't overpower my bookcase.
- 5,000 pages! That's amazing, it's going to be a long time before I need more ink and when I do it will be easier and cheaper with the printers refill process.
I have nothing bad to say about this printer, best laser I've used at this price point.

I have never really had any luck with electric razors, they either don't get close enough or they tear up my face and head. I've been shaving my head for close to 15 years and always find my best shave to be with a regular razor. Not anymore.
I got the new one from Philips, downloaded the app and answered a few questions about my shaving habits. I have sensitive skin and have problems with ingrown hairs on my neck at times, so the app set my razor for sensitive skin. After that I gave it a try and all I can say is wow!
I started by shaving my head, I have never had an electric was so smooth but also got so close! There was zero irritation and I didn't have to go over the same areas repeatedly. This thing got every hair the first try, absolutely amazing.
After that I attached the handy trimmer and did around my beard and side burns, again, perfect. Then I put the shaver on the base and set it to clean. This is so important to me because of my skin sensitivity and ingrown hairs, having a clean razor is a must. This base is magic.
A few hours later I used the razor on my face and neck around my beard and had the same results as my head. Just incredible.
I am going on vacation today and will be bringing this as it replaces my traditional razor, shaving cream and beard trimmer.
Amazing product!

After becoming a big fan of digital 35 mm photography using the Canon EOS rebel t3, I was skeptical about using a mirrorless camera. At the price point of this camera I feel that I am entitled to a camera that is lightweight, easy to use, and that take high resolution pictures. I also expected most of the features found on traditional cameras. My expectations were mostly surpassed in that the camera was loaded with all of the features of traditional cameras including a variety of automatic features, a variety of additional settings (including scenic, portrait, etc). Some settings were not found on my EOS rebel but are here (including anti-flicker, auto-connect of image brightness, special effects, filters and more). All settings can be done through a Quick Control screen.
When I tested this camera, I shot all pictures on automatic, which presets the aperture and shutter speed according to measured conditions. Some pictures were taken on a fast moving boat and a few were close-ups of a backyard zebra butterfly. These conditions that optimally require a fast shutter speed took excellent pictures. A variety of textures and colors were clearly reproduced. The butterfly was captured in motion, appearing to be still. To my eye, the reproductions of color and texture were excellent, and the automatic focus at various distances was very good.
This camera has both a multi-position viewing screen and an attachable electronic view finder. Both display features for settings, and both have a shooting display showing the setting and image.
As opposed to an automatic flash, this camera indicates that a flash is warranted, requiring the user to manually raise the flash. Once set-up and synced with a smartphone, all photographs are immediately sent to the phone. Using the Canon Connect app one can do some simple edits either on the phone or in the camera.
Of concern, the lens that comes with the camera is only 15-45 mm. Lenses are interchangeable and a longer distance lens should be included with the camera. A lightweight camera is ideal for traveling, but a longer lens is a must for travelers. Unfortunately, the lenses from my Canon EOS rebel are not adaptable on this camera. A lightweight camera bag would also be an appropriate accessory.
I took this camera with me to visit family in Florida for the holidays and took this camera everywhere. I am amazed by how lightweight it is while still taking amazing pictures.
I would recommend this to a friend!
