The SanDisk iXpand Base for iPhone (the 64 Gigabyte version) is a great way to backup your iDevice photos using removable SD cards. The unit should work well on a boat or other conveyance due to its rubberized and grippy top surface for holding your iDevice. So recharge and backup locally at night while you sleep - simple! It is a great way to back up when you have no cell or wifi service. Nice style, compact and fully functional with a nice iPhone app.

The Linksys - WRT32X AC3200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Gaming Router with Killer Prioritization Engine was very easy and very fast to install and setup. It only took about 5 minutes – I used their included tri-fold instruction brochure to guide me. Their packaging was both great looking and functional. The WRT32X comes in near the high-end price routers and has features to justify that price. One of the most notable features is Rivet Network's Killer Prioritization Engine (KPE) that will elegantly analyze and prioritize your data for both gaming and video streaming. “Killer” wireless 1535 card prioritization is designed to work with several of the new gaming laptops to decrease ping times, lower latency and reduce lag increasing responsiveness automatically. Using a “Killer” enhanced laptop with the WRT32X, it seemed about twice as fast as using a non-killer enhanced router. Killer's Control Center software lets users prioritize data packets by app and services, optimizing packet grouping for game or video streams, over background tasks, file downloads, or other less important functions. Dual Core, 1.8GHz Processor, Advanced Ethernet Switching, Tri-Stream 160, MU-MIMO, DFS Certified, Beamforming, and Optimized Packet Aggregation make for a great router experience. It is a superb gaming router – highly configurable / customizable but should also function well as a primary router for any household.

The Bissell 2151 Multi-Reach Cordless Vacuum is reliable, convenient, and an overall efficient tool for cleaning both home and vehicle. It helps avoid things like having to bending over to reach remote spots. Its LED lighting ensures good visibility of areas to be cleaned. It has a short run-time of around twenty minutes – great for touch-ups but short for whole house cleaning. Like most vacuums of this style its dirt cup / dust bin is rather small and may need to be emptied frequently. It does not come with a wall hanger making storage a little clumsy. It looks nice and functions well with good suction while still being very light.

The Shark - IONFlex DuoClean IF251 Bagless Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum’s 2X ION Power Pack System Technology Provides more than enough run-time to vacuum a three-bedroom dwelling.

It provides floor-to-ceiling flexibility by converting to a handheld vacuum for above floor cleaning, car cleaning, etc. while the Smart Response Technology provides a range of performance-enhancing power settings tailored to your cleaning needs on carpets and hard floors. The vacuum almost feels like it is self-propelled. It is a very nice well-made unit for its price range.

The New Philips Sonicare - Sonicare DiamondClean Smart Rechargeable Toothbrush - has 4 cleaning modes and 3 intensities: Clean for excellent daily cleaning, White for whitening your teeth and removing surface stains; Deep clean for a deep clean using the adaptive brush head that flexes with the contours of your teeth; and Gum health for gentle gum cleaning. The three intensities are high medium and low to customize your teeth cleansing. It comes with a charging glass and a travel case. It’s patented sonic technology helps to stimulate your gums with up to 31000 brush strokes in one minute. Enough strokes for a complete cleaning of your teeth and gums. It has a rechargeable battery that can last up to 42 uses or 3 weeks on a single charge and comes with multiple brush-heads.
I experienced a positive change in my dental health and brushing experience.
The Philips Sonicare App is great for monitoring your dental regimen based on 3D tracking and prompts. It is also, like the toothbrush, easy to use and has very high ratings.
Overall the Sonicare DiamondClean Smart Rechargeable Toothbrush system is a great addition to oral health.

The HP ENVY Photo 6255 All-in-One Printer is a moderately priced printer that provides consistently good printouts whether text on plain paper or photos on photographic paper. Setup was made super easy by following the included detailed graphic instructions. I first set it up to print from an iPhone and a Pixel XL – it worked flawlessly. I have since set it up to print from Mac OS X, Windows 10 and the internet. It is fast and easy to use while still delivering high resolution high quality images. If you need mostly photo printing it is very nice and also does a fine job of handling limited faxing, scanning and copying (read single sheet). It has a reasonably small footprint making it easy to find a place to put it. Ink cartridges promise to be simple by using HP’s HP Instant Ink.

The LG - 4.1-Channel Hi-Res Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier is a very well-crafted soundbar system that has a very low profile and nice visual style (and amazingly) without sacrificing audio quality. The quality of construction is very good and substantial. This bar was extremely easy to set-up and install. At about an inch and a half in height and several inches in depth it adds to the audio environment without cluttering the visual environment. The controls allow good well-tailored access to audio quality settings through the LG app. The included sub-woofer drives clean crisp bass. The audio volume is able to blast the aural spectrum from clean highs to strong bass, enough to be able to cover a large room. The installation was simple and fast. With enough modes to aid in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and wired connections it is well suited to a myriad of spaces. This 4K high resolution audio ultra-slim soundbar lets you hear the action in every scene from subtle to ear shattering. It is easily accommodated by not only LG TVs but has multiple types of mounting hardware included for other installations. It has Chromecast and more built-In.
Although small I would like to be able to disappear or at least dim the status indicator.
Easy install and setup plus good style and sound make it a solid buy.

Philips - Viva Collection 2.75 qt. TurboStar™ Analog Air Fryer - Black
Air is the new oil, and now with the Philips Airfryer you can use that air to fry in a healthier way with up to 75% less fat! Thanks to Philips unique TurboStar™ technology, all food is exposed to constant, circulating heat allowing you to cook your favorite foods with a tablespoon or less of oil. The result is evenly fried food – with no turning or shaking needed. Preset meals on the digital Airfryer allow you to cook your favorite recipes at the touch of a button.
A Best Buy! @ Best Buy - Awesome AirFryer!

The Philips Viva Hot Air Fryer is a kitchen appliance that does more than just grill or bake - it fries, bakes, grills and roasts food and it does all four styles of cooking well. I tried frozen crinkle cut French fries first. I cooked them at the long side of recommended times and was rewarded with perfect fries that were tender in the middle and crisp on the outside for a satisfyingly good crunch. All the foods followed this to perfection.
It uses up the counter space of about two standard size facial tissue boxes placed side by side. It should fit most counters easily. Clean-up has been simple, easy and fast. Wipe and place in dishwasher – comes out perfectly clean. It will cook enough food for serving up to 4 people per dish in most cases. Power consumption should be less than using a stove top or oven. It is attractively designed and well engineered and built. It uses little or no oil (read healthy but tasty). Foods were evenly cooked throughout. This Airfryer is as good as the advertising says it is - a great multi-use, compact and easy to use appliance!
–NICE! - VERY NICE!!

Best way to get clear low light shots with action
What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
