The j5 create-360 All-Around Webcam is a very well made product that looks and feels great. I really like all of the different modes it has making it a very versatile choice. My family does zoom conferences with multiple people and the j5 makes it much easier to get everyone in the video compared to my laptop camera. I would like to see a little better picture quality but it works well despite that. I am not aware of any other webcams like the j5 although there are similar ones I like the design of the j5 for its ease of use and versatility. Overall, I am impressed by the j5 create and while I am not sure why the picture quality seems a bit low it is a useful communication tool for what it was designed for with useful modes to get things done!

This Vitamix Immersion blender is a very diverse utensil. Not only can you blend up eggs or make a shake with it but it will also chop up vegetables and fruits to make juice. The Vitamix immersion blender is a large and well-built device that looks to be built to last for years. Despite it's large size the design of the handle and the way your hand goes under the top put your fingers in the perfect position to increase or decrease the speeds which are easily identified with an array of lights on the top. The on-off button is also right there where your finger sits on the front of the blender where your hand naturally sits and your fingers wrap around. It is very intuitive and easy to use and does a good job of chopping and blending whatever you need. My overall impression of the Vitamix Immersion blender is that it is high quality and practical addition to any kitchen that will make your life easier. It's diverse multi-faceted use factor definitely makes it a worthy addition to any kitchen and one that will serve to eliminate the number of tools you need to complete your food preparation tasks simplifying your life. I would say to anyone that does not have an immersion blender the Vitamix is a top choice and a device that every kitchen should have going forward!

I have been a Logitech fan for many years and I am pleased to see that the company is still striving for perfection! This Logitech Keyboard feels and looks very high quality and is a joy to use. I have quite a few keyboards and this one seems to be built better than any of the other ones. Not that they are all bad this thing just feels very solid and at the same time smooth and responsive while typing.
From the Aluminum frame to the keys everything about the Logitech K845ch build quality is top-notch. I also appreciate the backlighting and while the choice of lighting effects is cool I prefer full brightness and normal lighting mode. By pressing FN and F1 simultaneously that decreases the brightness and by doing the same with FN and F2 that increases the brightness while FN and F12 together rotate you through the different lighting effect choices. Also, built into the F keys FN+ F5-F10 are secondary multimedia controls for play pause volume etc. as well as F3 being a shortcut to search and F4 a Windows Calculator shortcut. The only improvement I would like to see is backlighting for the secondary functions of the Fn keys however I am sure they will be stored in your memory over time if used periodically.
If you are a person that is looking for a high-quality mechanical keyboard this Logitech cherry mx red linear keyboard offers a smooth and quiet experience. I honestly do not think you could do better than this Logitech especially in the price range of around $80. Additionally, I also feel like that it is a good deal for that price when you consider the quality and build of what you are getting!

In the world of smartwatches, it is not easy to stand out but I would have to say that the new Withings Scanwatch Smart Watch is a stand-out product! Not only did they arrive on the scene with a health-focused smartwatch with exclusive features such as EKG scan, O2 Saturation scan and in-depth sleep monitoring that not only includes the length of time slept but also whether or not it was deep sleep or light sleep and also includes the number of times your sleep was interrupted during the night. This feature can be really helpful when trying to pin down sleep deprivation and other sleep-related disorders that can cause people to be tired all day and lead to serious health risk. Aside from these standout features this SmartWatch also tracks your steps and alerts you notifications and incoming calls on it's small digital display which allows you to quickly glance at your watch to determine if it is someone or something worthy of your correspondence. While the Withings may not have all of the capabilities of traditional smartwatches when it comes to on-device functionality due to it's small screen/ hybrid nature to me it delivers on key functions and relegates important data readings and communication responses where they belong on a your phone where they are easier to read and respond to. I mean honestly who replies to messages with their watch or answers phone calls. Overall, I would say Withings has done a great job of delivering a product that is a fine looking Timepiece as well as an important partner in your health monitoring. The Withings ScanWatch SmartWatch is a well-executed smartly designed product that delivers on the important features while keeping things minimalistic. I would definitely recommend this watch to people that want to monitor their heart their sleep or their health in general

I love the technology involved with this product. I like the lane departure alert and front end collision alert idea as well as the idea of a rearview camera. However, I am disappointed that the rearview camera mounts to the back window since mine is tinted. Also, having a truck I can not really see behind it too well because of this with the tailgate up. Sure you can see cars a good distance behind you but I wanted to able to use the rearview camera to assist in backing up by mounting it to the back of my truck beside the license plate on the bumper. I do like that the rear camera is able to display on the main camera's screen. However, although it says my phone connected to the camera it would not display the rearview camera on my phone or show my location. I did a software update on the camera while installing it. Maybe I should not have done that but I am not sure if it worked on the old software either. I just know I really want to be able to display the cameras on separate screens since the Cobra screen is only 3 inches and to me not exactly suitable for picture in a picture. I would like to see this dash cam with a screen at least 5" if not 6" and with a rearview camera that can mount either inside the car or outside the car. I am happy that the camera has a high resolution and clear videos. I just hope they improve the app software so it will display the rear camera on my phone and show my location on the map view section soon. I believe Cobra is going in the right direction with this product they just need to refine it and offer it in different configurations regarding screen size and rearview camera options.

Shark - Rotator Lift-Away DuoClean Upright Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll & Anti-Allergen Complete Seal - Silver
This powerful Shark Rotator comes equipped with DuoClean PowerFins, a two-brushroll, no-bristle system to pick up more in every pass on carpets and give floors a polished look—with no hair wrap, thanks to the self-cleaning brushroll. (vs. original DuoClean)

Starting out with Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADVDuoClean Powerfins upright Vaccum turned to have a bit of a learning curve. However, after spending some time with it I realized that this vacuum is a well thought out piece of Vaccum Cleaner Engineering that is built to simplify usage by adding ease of use during the transitioning of it into it's different forms. Not only is it a great upright Vacuum Cleaner that has an impressive self-propelled feature and a very strong suction it is also a great portable Canister Vacuum with a crevice attachment and a 4" wide brush attachment which can conveniently be used to get in hard to reach places in the house as well as in your vehicle. The brush attachment is suitable for cleaning off couches and other household furniture and other types of upholstery like car seats or carpeted floorboards. In combination with the crevice attachment, you can Vaccum just about anything that needs it.
The Shark Rotator ADV DuoClean Powerfins compares very favorably when put up against our 3 other Vacuum's. It's maneuverability is on par with another popular Brand that we bought several years ago with the ball system. Then it's suction I fell like surpasses that Vaccum as well as another Brand that has been known through at least the 70's - the 90's to be a top of the line Vacuum that even had door to door salesmen and women at one time. To be fair I know that new Vacuum's generally have better suction than older one's since the motors tend to get weaker over time depending on the quality of the motor so time will tell how well the suction power will hold up. In my opinion, though this Vacuum seems to be a very high-quality piece of machinery.
One thing that really stood out to me after spending some time with this Shark Vacuum was how well thought out it is. Similar to other equipment I have it took spending some time using the Shark to get used to it's design functionality. For example, at first, I thought you pushed the red lever to tilt back the handle into floor Vacuum mode but you actually just hold your foot on the floor section where there is a little picture of a foot to tilt it back and the red lever is to detach the canister section into portable mode. However, I found the more I learned about this Shark Vacuum the more I liked it until I realized that the engineers at Shark really put some effort into making this Vacuum as user-friendly and as simple to use as possible. This has made me really appreciate and grow to like this Shark Vacuum more than any other Vacuum I have owned. It really is a joy to use. Both the carpet and hard floor modes work well, the canister is easy to take off and empty and the whole Vacuum section easily detaches from the floor suction/roller piece making it easy to carry around and detach the tube for versatility of ease of use all with just the push of a button or lever. Then each part easily clicks back into place with no hassle. It has a decent headlight better than others I have seen however I would still like to see it a little brighter with more throw to keep up with it's fast self propel function. I still find myself using my headlamp to light up things sufficiently.
This being my first Shark Vacuum I am very impressed. It is nice to see a company putting forth the effort to make a high-quality versatile piece of equipment that is designed with ease of use in mind all in one package. I would definitely have spent a couple of hundred less on this Vacuum if it were around and I knew about it several years ago when we purchased our other Vacuum. I would not hesitate to recommend this Shark Vacuum to anyone that is in the market for a new Vacuum cleaner! I feel like it is a great value in the Vacuum Cleaner market!

I like that it puts out 12 watts from each port. It seems like a lot of chargers or most actually have one high current port and one lower output port. For someone like myself with two phones, I appreciate that it has two high power output ports. Now I can quickly charge both of my phones while driving which is important to me. Also, Belkin is a brand that I know I can trust that puts out quality products. I have been using the charger to charge my Note 9 and S10+ with good results and have not had any issues with the charger, It is a good choice if you're like me and have two phones to charge while you drive. I would not hesitate to recommend the Belkin Boost charge 24 watt dual USB charger. With all of the different chargers out there this Belkin is one you can count on to be of good quality that will charge your devices quickly!

I have been wanting a portable printer for some time and this Canon Pixma TR150 fits the bill nicely. It fits in my backpack with ease and there is an available battery that has to be purchased separately. I wish they would have included the battery but it is a great feature to have. I have been using Canon printers for years now and have always been pleased with them. The Canon TR150 is no exception it is a high-quality compact printer that I can bring with me and print wirelessly from my Phone or my Laptop in my truck to print out invoices for customers and even full-color diagrams or plans. I find the Canon TR150 has a simple and easy to use interface and includes WIFI and Bluetooth for ease of connection to your devices. I am excited to use this printer and will be ordering the battery as soon as possible. If you are looking for a compact portable printer that can operate by battery power the Canon TR150 is a great choice for anyone who needs a printer on the go!

I really like the fitment of these JVC Fitness in true wireless earbud-style headphones! They are the most comfortable ones I have found with the over the ear hook feature. The nice thing is though if you want a more refined look like for an office environment you can take the hooks off. They also have stabilizer fins that you can change out to find the right fit for your ears. These headphones work great as a sport type of true wireless headphones with the over the ear feature it make them very stable. They do not move around at all on my ears. With the right size ear buds they work well without the over the ear hooks as well when you are looking for that more low profile look! Me personally I prefer the over the ear hooks for the stability since I work in a construction environment. Which leads me to another feature and that is they also come with open ear buds so you can hear your surroundings if you are in a work environment around other people you need to communicate with or if you are using them in any situation where you need to be able to hear ambient sounds. They sound good with music, on phone calls and with podcasts and YouTube. There are two things that I wish they did have but one of them for me is the case with all of my Bluetooth headphones and that is volume. I always have to use a volume booster app and this was the case with these as well but once I utilized the app I was satisfied with the loudness. Another thing I wish they had was dual connectivity since I have a work phone and a personal phone. Other than those two things I am very happy with these True wireless headphones. I would definitely recommend them for their versatility, sound quality and comfortable stable fitment.

The new Philips Smart sleep and wake up lamp is a great idea! I love that you can set how bright the light starts out when you are going to sleep and how dim it starts when you wake up as well how bright it gets at the last snooze session! It also is just a nice mood light to me I like setting it at a moderately dim level at night. It is nice to be able to plug in a music source like your phone with a cable but Bluetooth would be better. One thing that really bothers me is there needs to be more choices of sounds for going to sleep and waking up. After listening to the nature wake up sounds in the morning which I do like the problem is the birds are to repetitive and they got on my nerves fairly quickly. It needs to sound more like real nature with more random different sounds and different birds. Some more choices for going to sleep would be good as well. I see there is a new connected model so maybe they will keep improving on these lamps. I think I can make this one work for me but I have not mastered it yet. I love the lamp but I would pay the extra money for the newer connected lamp if you are looking at them. Not sure if there will be any way to update this one with new sounds and such but I am quite sure the connected one would have that capability. If you just want a nice lamp that does the sunset and sunrise function with a touch screen alarm clock this would be fine but if you want more features buy the connected version it has an app to go with it and more features.
