If you are looking for quality set of children's headphones with volume limiting capabilities, look no further! This is our second set since we have two little sets of ears that need them. I know they say these are for 8 years and older, but our 4 year old wears them with no issues. And that's something to say since he has had issues with other sets on his head before. He has literally worn these for over an hour playing games and watching videos on his tablet. If this little guy isn't complaining, they're definitely comfortable.
A cool feature these have is to wire connect (daisy chain) another set of headphones. This will be especially helpful when they both want to watch a movie together. And I will again say that the volume limiter is great. Not too quiet, but definitely keeps the kiddos from accidentally blowing out their ears.
JLab, as usual hit another homerun. I can tell you these headphones will take a beating as our first set did and will still keep going. If anyone asked me I would undoubtedly and resoundingly recommend them.

A Quality Keyboard With A Few Limitations

What does this keyboard bring to the table? Everything you need for a compact set up. Obviously this keyboard is small, lightweight, and perfect for people who are on the go. It takes a hot minute to get used to because of its compact size but it’s great, and when I say great I mean that relative to other keyboards that you could comparable to this one. Feels great to type on and isn’t loud.
If you’re looking at this keyboard and reading reviews such as this one, I’m guessing you’re looking for one that won’t take up too much space in your backpack, luggage, or office desk. And if that’s the case look no further you have that keyboard right here.
Now let’s talk about the keyboard itself:
Mechanical Sound: 10
RGB Lighting: 10
Functionality: 10
Size: 7
Responsiveness: 10
The only thing you really have to take into consideration is its price point - $179 dollars for this TO ME seems a bit steep. SteelSeries has to remain competitive so I get it but most people who do shopping for items will look at it and be like “That much for that?” It’s understandable but the reality of gaming products.

This is a mouse anyone can be happy with. I will start first with saying it is in fact as it is advertised - silky-smooth. Plugged in or Bluetooth, I was happy with it the moment I needed to use either. The RGB aspect of the mouse is always a nice touch and can accent your setup nicely as it did mine but that is a constant in the Alienware style of devices.
I have an Alienware x17 R1 and the Bluetooth was extremely responsive as I play action/fighting games most of the time.
The only thing I can really say negatively about the mouse is that its ambidextrous grip makes for a narrower style of mouse. I have a large hand and the kind of mouse I prefer is wider so I feel like I'm more in control and more comfortable. Because this mouse was narrower I felt like I had to narrow my grip while using it which can be and did cause me to be a little distracted when I was gaming. So if you have a small to medium size hand I think you would be very happy with this mouse for your gaming, office, or administrative needs.
I’ve always been a fan of Alienware products as they have dramatically improved as of late in terms of performance and style. Give it a try!

This is NOT your average carpet cleaner! We have portable carpet cleaners and full size cleaners in the past and none of them can compare to the simplicity of this device, nor how dry the carpet is when cleaning is done.
Pluses for this device again included simplicity of setup, use and cleaning. It appears to be solidly built. The built in voice lets you know what is being done and what needs to be done (add solution, clean the dirty water bucket, etc). The screen at the top is a easy way to see how the machine is working with a blue/red circle around the screen to let you know how much dirt is coming up. Switching over to drying mode makes it easy to know that the carpet has been thoroughly dried with a simple thermo-bar showing how much moisture is left.
We have a new puppy and area rugs. A deadly combination! :-) I ended up cleaning the entire area rug since it worked so well. My wife came out, stepped on the rug, and thought I had not cleaned it yet since it was SO dry. Amazing!!
One issue we did have was that the machine turned on and did not notify me that the dirty water bin was not seated. I didn't notice until I stepped on the rug, which was thoroughly wet. I then inspected the dirty water container only to see it was empty. Not really a big deal. After snapping it back in place, I put the machine on "drying mode" and the water was sucked up in minutes. I was just a little surprised that as good as this machine does in notifying with it robot voice that something needs to be done, it didn't pick up on this.
However if with that issue, which is obviously user error, I would highly recommend this vacuum. If you have ever owned or used an upright carpet cleaner in the past, please don't let your experiences keep you from purchasing this one. They typical carpet cleaners do not compare!

This is a solid headset for the price. I used them for gaming on an Xbox One. The sound does not compare to the high end headsets but it is well balanced and was better than expected for this price point. The microphone is flexible and moldable. Flipping them up to mute is a nice touch. The sound coming out of the mic is average. Nothing great but nothing to really complain about either.
The over-the-ear ear pads are somewhat small which would make it better suited for a child. They sit on my ears instead of going over my ears. Due to the size, I expected them to get uncomfortable. The lightweight of the headset and the memory foam on the ear pads and headband pad made them surprisingly comfortable. I had no issues after hours of gameplay. The memory foam is stiff out of the box so you may want to break them in by pushing and messaging them with your fingers. Replaceable ear cushions and headband pad are a nice touch. Larger ear pads and designing them to swivel would have made them better.
Overall, this is a solid headset for the price. If you are looking for a quality headset for a child, I would highly recommend these. If you are seriously considering these for yourself but have a concern for the small earcup, I wouldn’t let the size be a deal breaker. They stay comfortable during hours of gameplay.

We got this mattress for my teenage daughter that has a loft bed. Our ceilings aren't vaulted, so the reduced thickness of the mattress would give her a little bit more room near the ceiling. I was concerned at how thin it was. But we have had no complaints! I've laid on it as well and I must say I'm impressed. Her previous mattress was a high end pillow top. She says this mattress is way better than the previous.
Another concern we had was trapping body heat, which seems to be a problem with the mattress-in-a-box styles. My daughter likes to sleep in the cold and has had ZERO issues with trapped body heat.
So in closing, although we acquired this for my teenage daughter, I would look into Serta's products for our personal purchase as well. I would recommend this product to friends and family, especially for those with loft beds try to drop the height a bit.

I don't like giving negative reviews so this is about as close as I will come. This device does what it says it will do, but in a very convoluted way. When initially acquiring this device, I was hoping that it would be a plug and play way to attach my phone or other devices to a TV without the need for wifi connections HDMI cables, etc. It's physical design is compact and simple. However, that's about the only thing that is simple. There are a multitude of steps to get the device connected to your source device, which for a person with limited technological know-how, might seem like a tall task. I was able to work my way through it and successfully connect my devices.
I gave it three stars because it does what it says it does. But this device is only necessary if you do not have a smart TV. I was hoping this device would go direct with my phone/computer without the need of a WiFi network, but unfortunately it does not have that capability.
Again, I would only recommend this device to a friend or family member that had a little bit of technological know-how and needed to connect to a non-Smart TV.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Solid Buds From Belkin

Unfortunately my review is going to be short, as some misguided person stole these ear buds soon after I got them. However, I am a big believer in Belkin products. Belkin has continued to move from a second-tier company, into a company that make products as high of quality as their top line competitors and still provide tremendous value. These buds were not different.
I didn't even get through one charge before these buds were taken, but that's saying a lot! Used nearly every day and stored in the charger, they never had to be plugged in after over a weeks worth of daily usage. I anticipate that they would have lasted another week if given the chance.
I was also impressed at the quality of the buds and charger. They feel solid and well made. The buds offer the normal size adjusted covers to fit the ear better. They were comfortable, nearly to a point where you don't notice them.
As for sound quality, I am very impressed! Buds in general have come a long way in the recent years in terms of sound quality. I just wish there was an app for these buds so the user could equalize and make small adjustments to the quality. This is the only thing missing from this solid package.
As I mentioned at the beginning, the buds were stolen. And after my limited use of them, I am contemplating purchasing another pair. I would recommend these to family and friends.

There's not much to say about this humidifier. It works great. It's easy to clean (vinegar works well to remove any contaminants on the ultrasonic plate). And the well is big enough for a night's worth of humidifying.
Not that we've had this problem yet, since we just got this humidifier, but I would highly recommend using distilled water in any humidifier. This will drastically cut down on the amount of cleaning and maintenance you will have to do.
In all, I would recommend this product to friends and family.

[Initiate Time Warp] I can’t explain how much we loved our original Ninja Air Fryer. It did great work! Between it and our Instant Pot, we could do most cooking with ease. Then entered our first Foodi and WOW! We were able to save counter space by having a device that could do everything those two devices could do and more. It was used nearly every day by our family.
I was hesitant to get another Foodi, considering we just got the other one so recently. I am glad we upgraded!!! The single lid for pressure cooking and other cooking was worth it alone! But the ability to purchase other accessories to do even more types of cooking made it a no brainer. Ninja stepped up again by creating a simple sliding lever for the lid, depending on what you’re using it for. The upgraded display is great too, making it even simpler to use.
I write all of this, but my title was enough. If you don’t own a Foodi, you need one! If you do own a Foodi, you need THIS one!! I would without a doubt, 100% recommend this to anyone that asked! And maybe some that didn’t ask :-)

Bring your television audio to life without compromising the beauty of the room. As an alternative to traditional sound bars or bookshelf speakers, this system allows you to enjoy premium television audio while hiding the electronics and wiring in the wall and behind the TV. This package includes two in-wall speakers with paintable grilles; when painted, the speakers almost disappear into the surrounding space. The included Sonos amp provides 125 watts of power per channel, which lets you enjoy high-resolution sound from the Sonance speakers. Also included is an in-wall power kit that brings power to the entire system without calling an electrician. A metal back box is provided to hold the in-wall power kit, Sonos AMP®, and system electronics with extra room for streaming video devices like Apple TV® or Roku®.
Can you attach a sub to this system as well for extra bass, or are you stuck with just the 2 included speakers? And is the amp powerful enough for a sub?
Yes. You can either hard wire a third-party sub via the output or purchase a Sonos sub for wireless connection. I personally recommend the Sonos sub. Have one on a different system and love it!

Does this have a power (off/on) switch? I'd like to leave it plugged in all the time & just turn the switch on when needed - is that an option?
I'd like to have the drive plugged in (usb & power) and just turn the device on via a power switch to activate - does this come with a built in on/off switch?
It powers up only when being utilized. Otherwise, it is in a standby mode until something tries to access it. No "hard" power on/off switch.

The short answer is yes. If you use a router that has a USB port for a network drive, simply plug it in and follow your routers directions. If not, you would have to "share" the drive to the other computer. If all of this sounds to complicated I would spend the little extra a get a MyBook Live or MyBook World. They connect to your router through a ethernet cable and are ready to run immediately.
