Customer Rating
5.0
The Philips Norelco Series 9000 Mutigroom is a powerful trimmer. It has great battery life (it has never run down on me despite infrequent charges). It is sleek and solid in design being ergonomically suited for my hands. It comes with a lot of heads and guards(that are labeled, making finding the one you want to use very easy). The only hair that is not addressed are eyelashes(I don’t know anyone that trims them)!! I really like the way you change the attachments by lifting the trimmer side up to remove or push down to attach. This is so far by far the best method I have seen or used for attachments for clippers / trimmers. Being water resistant is a great benefit.

Lenovo - Legion Y530 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 1TB Hard Drive - Black
Load AAA game titles with this 15.6-inch Lenovo Legion gaming laptop. Its 1TB of storage lets you save large downloads, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card renders fluid Full HD visuals. This Lenovo Legion gaming laptop has 16GB of RAM and a hexa-core Intel Core i7 processor for powerful performance.
Great Budget Gaming Laptop
Customer Rating
5.0
The Lenovo Legion Y530 (81FV0002US) has an awesome Intel i7 8750H processor with a nice increase in performance over last years i7, 16GB of DDR4 2666 memory, 16GB of Intel Optane Memory for fast access without requiring a solid-state drive, and a superior budget gaming Nvidia 4GB GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. While great for the majority of games on the market and for video editing it is marginal at best for virtual reality applications at this time.
It has a very nice textured finish on the ABS plastic chassis, good cooling, reasonable battery run time and has small bezels around the screen with the camera placed on the bottom. The small bezels allow for a smaller footprint and a better visual experiance. At a hair over five pounds it is portable and can also be used as a business computer/number cruncher. It is a great improvement over computers with less RAM and standard hard disk drives.

Lenovo - Legion Y530 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 1TB Hard Drive - Black
Play your favorite PC games with this 15.6-inch Lenovo laptop. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM let you run multiple programs without performance lag, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of file storage space. This Lenovo laptop has a powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics card for fast rendering of images and videos.
A nice minimum capability gaming/video editing PC
Customer Rating
4.0
The Lenovo - Legion Y530 15.6" Laptop with - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and a 1TB Hard Drive is a capable gaming computer for most of the PC games on the market although graphics intensive games with high and rapidly changing polygon counts can bog the system down and it may stutter. Please note that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti card is in my opinion a nice step up from the same class Nvidia’s cards from just last year. In addition to game play I also use it for video editing and it does a nice job although it uses hard disk access to augment RAM when needed. I would prefer more RAM. The Legion Y530 is sturdy and well-designed yet still weighs only about 5 pounds. I like the exterior finish and the keyboard functionality.

The Brother - INKvestment Tank MFC-J995DW XL Wireless All-In-One Printer is a great choice for your home or small office. The MFC-J995DW XL has INKvestment Tank cartridges along with an internal ink storage tank allowing it to deliver uninterrupted printing for up to 2-years without the need to purchase ink according to Brother. Great features include printing to mobile devices, several paper handling options, and automatic two-sided printing. I really like the extended ink tank storage, so you do not need to order ink all of the time. The extended use is based on printing approximately 300 pages per month, using only the cartridges provided. The ink cartridges hold more ink and print more pages without sacrificing the compact, desktop footprint. Your prints cost less than $0.01 per page in black and less than $0.05 per page in color using the INKvestment Tank Ultra High-Yield cartridges. The Page Gauge helps to take the guesswork out of when to replace ink. It has built-in wireless, Ethernet, and a USB interface. It includes mobile printing and NFC print and scan capabilities. This means you can print wirelessly from your desktop, laptop, smartphone and/or tablet. The automatic document feeder, bypass tray, or 150-sheet capacity paper tray that adjusts for multiple sizes of paper combined with automatic duplex (2-sided) printing can save paper.
It has a color touchscreen display. Print-from and scan-to cloud apps using Google Drive™, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and Brother Cloud Apps etc. It includes a 2-Year Limited Warranty and free online, call, or live chat support for the life of your printer. – Nice!

Customer Rating

Speed!
Most monitors cap out at 60Hz, (they refresh 60 times per second) but the faster the refresh rate the smoother gameplay looks and 240Hz is very fast. For optimal viewing you need a FAST gaming machine. Both sturdy and attractive, it stays where you position it (you can also mount it on a VESA mount). The monitor has slim bezels.
It has multiple USB ports that can be used to charge wireless headphones etc (it also has a headphone hook on the top of the monitor stand.
DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 ports are easily reached from the front.
The Acer Predator XB272 offers both regular buttons and jog buttons along with a very usable menu system.
It has a reasonable viewing angle, good contrast, good color gamut (75 percent of the AdobeRGB color space) and reasonable color accuracy.
I would like it to have 4K.

Google - Clips - White
Capture and share special moments with Google Clips. Engineered to recognize faces and expressions, this clever camera automatically takes several-second-long audio-free motion photos, leaving you free to focus on the occasion. Enhanced with Super Res mode, the Google Clips device syncs data with your phone and lets you save any frame as a high-resolution still photo.
Interesting play toy

This is a very novel concept – let an AI agent seize the moment. It sounds great and may work out that way with extended use. Unfortunately, I found the images to be captured mostly just based on motion. The image quality is not as high as I would have expected from Google for the price. It is unobtrusive, small, lightweight and easy to set up. It seems to be durable. Video but no audio – why? This may be the future when it has matured and is capable of greater things.

Polaroid Originals - OneStep 2 VF Analog Instant Film Camera - White
Capture action photos with this Polaroid Originals OneStep 2 camera. The lens lets you take clear close-up or faraway pictures, and the integrated flash brightens every image you take. This Polaroid Originals OneStep 2 camera has a timer that lets you quickly get into group shots with friends and family.

Customer Rating

Instant results that you can hand someone. Polaroid déjà vu - for a low-priced camera and high priced prints. This is a retro Polaroid camera modeled after the Polaroid OneStep. The prints look like what I remember the early Polaroid prints to look like. The camera is simple to use. On/off switch, film bay latch, flash off button(must be squeezed while releasing the shutter), shutter release button, exposure slider, an 8 dot LED exposure counter, with a USB port and cable(for charging only). It is bulky but light weight – easy to carry with the neck strap. It uses a slightly wide angle, high-quality plastic lens. Due to the viewfinder, careful framing is required. It drew comments and appreciation from those that saw it and its photos. It falls between the pure instancy of digital and the latency of silver halide in approach.

Sony - WF-SP700N Sport True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbud Headphones - White
Stay aware and immersed in your music with these Sony wireless in-ear headphones. Digital noise cancellation blocks out external chaos while the Ambient Sound Mode lets in the noises you need to hear. These Sony wireless in-ear headphones work with Google Assistant for hands-free research and commands at the gym or on the run.
A sound choice in water resistant - wireless buds
Customer Rating
5.0
The WF-SP700Ns have an IPX4 water/dust intrusion rating that protects the earbuds from sweat and moisture, water-resistant (not immersion or heavy stream) in a pair of well-engineered and stylish earbuds. They feature active noise cancellation that can be switched off or to the ambient sound mode, so you can let in outside sound while you're listening to music, news etc. They come with a small pocketable charging case that can give two full charges of about 3 hours each or a 15-minute quick charge that provides up to 70 minutes of listening time. The WF-SP700N has pure highs and solid bass. They have worked well with no dropouts or other problems on multiple devices and OSs - and I live in a high signal noise transmission area. They were very easy to pair using Bluetooth including through NFC. The tips and retainers work well for keeping them in the ear even under erratic motion. Sony has produced very nice, state of the art, truly wireless earbuds.
I would like to see these with longer play time – like 5-8 hours.

Coffeehouse Versatility meets Pod Convenience with the Ninja DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System. Included 12-cup, double-walled thermal carafe is perfect for both hot and over-ice beverages, with an ergonomic handle and spout allow for easy control of pouring. Tackle grounds and pods with 9 grounds brew sizes from small cup to full carafe, and 4 pod brew sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. Brews a coffee pod faster than a leading Keurig coffee maker upon startup. With Thermal Flavor Extraction DUO technology, perfect flavor for grounds and pods is delivered with even saturation and precise temperature control for ultra-flavorful coffee. Separate from the coffee system is a dedicated hot water line. Using a separate line eliminates flavor contamination and delivers clean water. 2 temperature settings, hot and boil, allow you to make tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and oatmeal. Brew a super-rich coffee concentrate that you can use to create delicious lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. Use the built-in, fold-away frother to transform hot or cold milk/milk-alternatives into silky-smooth froth in seconds. Top your Specialty brew with frothed milk for a coffeehouse-style drink. The frother is also removable for easy cleaning. Choose from one of four different brew styles; classic or rich for a traditional hot cup of coffee, over ice for an iced coffee that's never diluted, or specialty to make a cappuccino or latte. Clean function, dishwasher-safe parts, removable Ninja pod adaptor and frother allow you to easily deep clean your unit.
Can you tell me more about the thermal carafe? Is the inside stainless steel?
yes it is stainless steel and cleans easily

Hi. Since this is sold in America that would imply it is to be used in America. So I was wondering why the specifications here list the voltage requirement as 220v? While I do agree that 220v grid is indeed a better design, I live under tyranny of 120v...
