The instinctive touch controls let you choose from eight speeds including a pulse function to handle everything from juicing to grinding meat, and the smooth seamless motor base with sealed touch area make it easy to clean - just wipe. The Blendtec Designer blender has a 1500W, 3 HP (almost 3 times the power of my last blender) motor for commercial-capable strength provides reliable power for all of its blending chores. The heavy base makes for as stable and as quite of operation as is feasible. The 36-oz. blending cup/pitcher (medium-sized, robust, durable, and see-through makes it easy to blend smoothies and other drinks. The touch area has illuminated easy-to-read icons that allow you to effortlessly select blend cycles and it also incorporates the pulse function on the panel. Blending frozen fruit and ice is flawless - no plunger needed. The 1500W commercial grade motor is strong enough to drive the aggressive blade so you don't need a messy plunger. It incorporates a state-of-the-art touch slider, touch it anywhere to jump to any speed, and slide your finger to fine-tune your blend. This Blendtec blender has a precision balanced direct drive and motor assembly. The precision-machined socket connects directly to the motor, resulting in both reduced vibration and noise. The innovative airflow design keeps the blender cooler. A cooler motor means a longer life (it has an eight-year warranty). The blender fits easily under most cabinetry. Great Blender at a reasonable price!

The BenQ - HT1070A 1080p DLP Projector provides a pleasing home movie theater experience it provides up to 2200 lumens (depending on energy settings) to deliver up to a 15,000:1 contrast ratio even in moderately bright rooms when used with a good reflective screen, and projects a 1920 x 1080 HD image to capture and display every detail in the majority of today's video. This BenQ projector has dual HDMI ports, so you can connect multiple HD devices. The setup was simple and fast. The on-screen menus are well thought out. The noise level is very acceptable for relatively small spaces. The wide-angle lens is great for 100" wide display. The projector itself is reasonably small and light weight.

The setup of a two camera system took less than 15 minutes. Quality of construction and style are excellent. Easy to mount or place out of the box, it has a mount that the cameras magnet adheres to, or by using additional mounting options that are available. NETGEAR is a solid name in networking and has been around (stable) for a long time. HighRes imagery is great for resolution and recognizable images. You can add additional sensors as needed. Can be used with desktop computers, Chromebooks etc. , macOS or Android devices through the well designed Arlo app or through the web interface. The audio alert is ear piercing - I MEAN LOUD! The cameras are easily concealed. The hub that ties every thing together offers multiple cloud storage options along with 2 local usb ports. The cameras use rechargeable batteries that provide power for a long time before needing to be charged. They are suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The cameras are of a true wireless design. I did not experience any dropouts or glitches. This is a premium system in all respects. The Arlo is a truly elegant solution to the security challenge. Crisp video and wide angle coverage make this system viable for home / office - interior or exterior.

The Sony WF-1000X Noise Canceling Earphones come attractively and protectively packaged. The big plus for these are really great noise cancelation, a first I believe for true cordless earbud style earphones. They look nice (I like their style) when worn compared to many other earbuds that look out of place on the human head. They weigh almost nothing and due to a myriad of configurations are able to be fitted comfortably to almost any ear. The battery case which provides enough juice, for the earbuds to get about nine hours of use, is rugged enough to carry in your pocket. A full charge of the case through the USB-C port requires about 1.5 hours. I would like more than three hours per charge for the earbuds though. Sound quality is great - I like the nice heavy bass and crisp highs. They are not waterproof. The case can be carried in my pocket easily and, in addition to recharging, protects the earbuds from damage. They work in conjunction with the Sony connect app on iOS or Android devices. They are currently available in black or gold finish.

The Acer S271HL Gbidx 27" Monitor in black is a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution 16:9 ratio with a respectable 4 ms response time LED monitor that draws less wattage than a 25-watt lightbulb. Its antiglare design coupled with 178 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, a 100,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 300 cd/m² brightness is capable of producing a very nice image in just about any typical computer environment. It has three industry standard inputs - HDMI, DVI and VGA. The 60Hz refresh rate, while not spectacular, is fast enough for most casual gaming.
Setup took about 5 minutes and was easy to do. I Customized my settings using the Acer eColor Management embedded in the monitor. It lets you optimize viewing scenarios and appearance with the touch of a button.
It is a nicely priced, styled and highly functional monitor that is capable of accurate color, runs cool and has a small footprint.

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.

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?

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...
