I have always problems with tense knots on my shoulders. The last time I braved myself to see a Chiropractor, he used a similar device on my shoulders.
I'm certainly a novice. After my initial self treatment using Hypervolt, I felt sore but no more tense. By the next day, soreness is gone, and I feel great. It's well designed and ergonomics. I have short arms and I have no problem reaching my back!
I went with the Pro version and given that I'm 5'3, it was way too overkill. Even at the lowest setting, it's plenty for me!

I was skeptical at first, especially looking at how much it is. But this toothbrush truly takes cleaning to the new level.
The head movement enables individual tooth focus cleaning. If you're like me and you dislike cluttering your phone with useless apps, I can vouch that the app is certainly worth downloading. You're missing out if you don't download the app.
Aesthetic is very nice. I'm not sure how I feel about the charger. On one hand, it's nice that it doesn't have the bump like other electrical toothbrush chargers, but I don't feel as secured without the bump holding the toothbrush.
If you're wondering should you get this toothbrush, make the plunge and your teeth will thank you!

This printer is replacing my aging HP PhotoSmart 7520. It was hands down the best printer ever made. HP Envy Pro 6455 is a good solid printer for everyday printing and a piece of technology that doesn't have to look like a sore thumb in the study room.

I got this chromebook for my eldery mom who uses computer to browse news and watch youtube. She loves the fact she can uses the touchscreen and not rely on mouse, but still has the full keyboard to type what she's looking for.
It boots up super quick and it has everything that she needs, including very cool case! Battery life is very good, she only needs to charge at the end of the day and great sound quality for her drama show on youtube!

This is our second robotic vacuum. Our first one is Shark - Ion Robot 750.
Pros:
- Front side is flat instead of all rounded. This is extremely clever design for edges and corner.
- Smart sensing and when it hits the wall, it powers up a stronger suction for a few seconds more knowing edges are where dirts hide and reside.
- It comes with a remote control for better control
- Attractive design
- Covers area more effectively with the cameras and sensors
- Fast charging

I am an avid Android user and my phone prior to this is Google Pixel. The first thing I noticed when I switched to the Sony Xperia XZ2 is the weight. It is quite noticeably heavier than the Google Pixel.
Pros:
+ Screen although it's not HDR or AMOLED, it is very vivid and color is brilliant with Triluminos display technology like in Sony TV. Upscaling to 4K yields very nice viewing of Netflix and YouTube.
+ Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 is fast! I ran Outlook for my Corporate email, Skype Business without a hiccup.
+ Sony Xperia Assistant: Having been a long time Pixel/Nexus user, I am not a big fan of bloatware. But this app actually reminded me that I turned off my regular morning alarm and if I'd like to turn it back on! Impressive.
+/- Camera: daylight, outdoor, indoor takes very nice pictures. But lowlight, Google Pixel is still the king! Same goes for Video, Google Pixel is still much better.
+ Speaker: This one hands down is a stronger point than Google Pixel. Pixel sound quality is rather weak.
+ Battery Life: I can run all day without charging.

Overall, I like the built quality. It's fast! Some items are rather gimmicky, such as Vibrate sound effect, Dual SIM (T-Mobile offers free data international roaming, I almost never have the need for additional SIM).
I was able to find case online and they fit great. It's however a challenge to find a tempered screen protector that can fit the screen perfectly due to screen design but this applies to 80% new phone today.

I was initially having trouble connecting this to Wi-Fi but once it's set, it's very cool. Unfortunately, I have to take a star because I found this bulb is a bit taller than standard bulb. Also, it is quite pricey.

Although not exactly the cheapest for the size and feature, this TV offers good value for the features and performance.
+ Price for size & features (4K, Smart)
+ Easy Set Up for Wi-Fi, etc.
+ I love the dedicated Netflix, Amazon, YouTube buttons on the actual remote!!! How cool is that! (But no Hulu?? Luckily I don't use it anymore or I would've taken a point off)
+ Test quality with actual 4K videos on YouTube is excellent!

- No HDR, but it's to be expected for this price level
- App loading is a little slower
- Sound quality is sub par, but then again, most people expect to pair LED TV with Soundbar anyway

I'm an avid electronics enthusiast. I didn't think it was possible to get excited about countertop oven toaster, let alone fall in love with it. But once, I set the DeLonghi Livenza Oven on my countertop, I was so smitten like a high school teen all over again. Look at the picture I posted, it's so shiny like my knight in shining armor. I am replacing our 10+ year old Black & Decker toaster oven.
Pros:
+ Easy to set up. I did have to look up how to set up the time, but that was it.
+ All buttons, functions are very intuitive to use, no need to read instructions.
+ Since it's digital, good bye annoying ticking toaster timer!!!
+ Spacious! I can bake casserole in it and it came out perfect!
+ Pre-Heat is fast
+ Includes pizza tray
+ Sturdy, well-built and just simply gorgeous!

I honestly can't find much thing to take points off. If I have to choose any, probably price point but then again for the features and built quality, it totally justifies it!

Hey. I'm very interested in this laptop. I read some reviews of the x360 here at BeatBuy. Don't know how you guys got it already, but will in the "consumer version" also be this leather case included?
The Tech insider Network reviewers received the products for reviews puposes, so most of the times we receive the products prior to launch. To answer your question, yes, cosumer version will also receive the case as it has been the case for the previous generations of Spectre X360.

ZAGG - InvisibleShield Glass Screen Protector for HTC One (M9) Cell Phones - Clear
Protect the display of your HTC One (M9) cell phone with this ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass HO9GLC-F00 screen protector, which features a scratch-resistant design to ensure durability and reliable defense.
Is this glass "Case Friendly" or "Full Glass"
I ordered one of these from Best Buy for my phone. I received a "case friendly" glass. Not knowing what that meant I applied it. As you can see by the photos, the ZAGG glass has over a 2 mm gap on each side. I think there is a Zagg "full face" glass also available for the HTC One M9 which covers the glass fully. I'm not seeing a descriptive as to which one this is. I prefer the "full glass" Please explain.

Get the one for M8 and it will be full face. I made a mistake of buying the one for M9 and it didn't cover the whole screen.
