This APC UPS is great. It's a compact size, has 7 outlets, 5 of them with battery backup. Set up was easy, insert the battery in the back, plug it in and push the button. You do have to press the button for a few seconds to get it on, it will beep once, turn green and you're good to go! This is a great addition for anyone who wants to make sure they still have internet or some other power when the electricity goes out. You can adjust the alarm settings but the default settings seem fine to me. The manual tells you how much power-time you can get for the items that you have plugged in. This is a great gadget to have and I know I'll be happy I have it the next time there's a power outage.

This is a nice dash cam. Really feels like plug and go. I did initially have some struggles with the SD card formatting but once I got a new card it worked just fine. Plug it in to the car and set your loop. I was able to sync it with my wifi and got the app up and running just fine. I did not find the directions to be very intuitive and really wish you could have it plugged in to an outlet or computer to test and fiddle with. But beyond that it plugs into the car and you are set.

This case is perfect for my iphone 11! I love that it is made with recycled plastic. The case is lightweight, doesn't add bulk to my phone but also feels like it provides superior protection! It's a great case. The grip is good, feels good in my hand and have had no problems accessing the buttons on my phone. I highly recommend this case. I really liked the packaging too, case slides out of the packaging making it super easy.

I had been looking at getting a wireless surround sound system and knew I really wanted a quality one. My previous system was a wired surround sound system. The quality of sound that you get out of this JBL system is amazing. Crisp, clear and loud. I find that when watching everyday TV I simply leave the rear speakers attached to the bar but when I am watching something where I want to feel it then I detach them and woah! Wonderful immersive sound that really moves, you can feel the sound from up and down and the sides. Movie theater quality. Set up was super easy and the included directions were easy to follow. You can also find the manual online if you need more. This is a intuitive system that is really fool proof. I connected it to wifi thru my google home and it automatically updated. Configure the sound by following the instructions and you are good to go. This is a great surround sound system, with easy set up and quality sound. I would recommend this set.

Dyson - Corrale Hair Straightener - Black Nickel/Fuchsia
The Dyson Corrale straightener is the only straightener with copper flexing plates that shape around your hair, gathering it neatly together on each pass. This extra control means you can achieve the same style but with less heat – and therefore half the damage¹. It also means enhanced styling, for reduced frizz and fewer flyaways². The plates are made of manganese copper, selected for its flexibility, strength and thermal conduction. The Dyson Corrale straightener can be used corded, or cord-free to provide extra versatility and freedom while styling.¹Thermal damage measured by hair strength, when creating an equivalent hair style. Tested on Corrale with flexing plates vs Corrale with solid plates ²Direct image analysis vs untreated hair.³Exact run time may vary based on hair type and styling technique.

If your adventures find you needing a high tech awesome hair straightener than this is the one to buy! Dyson has seriously thought of everything. First, because of the flexible copper plates you don't have to use 400 degrees of heat on your hair! Thank the maker! No more fried hair. Having it at 335 degrees is great, it does a wonderful job. Straightens hair easily, slides through hair like silk, it didn't tug on my hair at all. Now, the whole package is just incredible. It's cordless if you want, with a good battery life, and auto shut off after 10 minutes of non-use. Or, use the magnetic cord to attach it to the end and save battery! It has a great feature where you can disconnect the battery for travel. That is fabulous, no worries! It comes with a beautiful case to store it for travel and the stand for it is top notch, it sits perfectly in it's magnetic base and charges when plugged in. The whole thing is just amazing, Opening the package you can see the high quality and thoughtfulness put into this straightener. If you are looking for a high quality, techy hair straightener this is the one you have been dreaming about. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

This 4K Samsung is a great TV at a great price point! The picture looks fabulous! Clear, crisp picture with 4K that makes you think you could step right into it, and the sound is actually terrific! The set up was super easy with an intuitive remote and easy settings. It came packaged very well, with a lot of Styrofoam protecting it. There are all kinds of channels available to access through the guide, which is great! Good bye cable! All the apps you want are right here, and if you don't see the one you want you can search for it and find it easily. I'm impressed with this TV, there are 2 HDMI ports in the back and considering all the apps that are on it that seems like enough. I definitely recommend this TV, I've had no problems with it.

These are super easy to pair with an iPhone and learning the tricks of how to turn up the volume, skip and pause was easy. They have great sound, and a good battery life! I love the little case and charger cable. Awesome design and a nice price point for such quality. If you are looking for some wireless buds I would recommend these! Using the smallest set of ear bud covers they fit nicely with some noise cancelation. They are fun and understanding the different lights and abilities was easy.

This software is something that has to actually be downloaded onto your computer, works offline until needed, which is a nice feature but that's where it stopped for me. The layout is pretty basic, same format as other self-prepare tax software, except I actually felt like it wasn't quite as easy as other ones I've used in the past. While it said I could drop my previous years taxes into it and it would pull data from that, it didn't work so I manually entered everything. It came up with the same amount of refund as I got thru another preparer, so that was right. When it came time to actually e-file I did have to pay to send state. I received a message that my files had transmitted but then the next day got an email that my federal return had been rejected. There was a code provided, so I called their customer service team, after a 10 minute hold, I had to provide my personal information to two different reps before they put me on hold again to find out what the code meant. I tried googling it but it came back with nothing. When they got back to me they still were not sure what the rejection code meant. I have never had a problem with any other company's tax service. This was frustrating. I gave up and filed with another company, without any complication and have received confirmation that my files were accepted. It was easy to use, and the refund amount was correct so I have given it 2 stars.

This printer was incredibly easy to set up. You download the app and follow the instructions, and done! The compact design means it'll fit almost anywhere and is completely portable with the included power bank! Selecting photos from your phone is easy and you can manipulate the pictures, adjust and add to them for printing! You can add little messages or borders, as well as center your photos. I could see using this at family gatherings where you can actually give a paper photo rather than emailing or texting a pic. Picture quality is good! I found this gadget to be fun and I would recommend it!

how do you connect it
It was easy to connect, plug it in the same room where your router is, let them sync, push the WPS button on your router. Then move it to another location in the house where you still have a good signal, plug it in and let it sync. Then go where you need to boost the signal plug it in and wait for it to sync. If you have green lights that's good, amber light means the signal is weak, but functioning.
