Great All-In-One Computer
Customer Rating

The Dell 5400 All-In-One is a great computer for work, school, and some minor gaming. The computer has everything you need right out of the box. It comes with both a wireless keyboard and mouse, 16GB of DDR4 ram, and a fast 500GB SSD for storage. It also comes pact with the latest 11th gen Intel i7 processor, for blazing fast multitasking.
The design of the computer looks clean and given that it’s an all-in-one it has a low profile, so it doesn’t take up much room on your desk. The combination of silver and white really makes the computer shine, and the A-stand gives it plenty of support while maintain space. The computer also comes with plenty of inputs, there are 2-HDMI ports, 1-USBC, 3-USB 2.0, an SD card reader, audio out and an ethernet port.
The computer has many built-in premium features that make this stand out. For starters, the multi touch FHD display looks good and is easy on the eyes. The built-in soundbar offers decent sound for everything from listening to music, to streaming movies. There is also a retractable camera that I wish more companies would start doing. Making the camera retractable, protects you and your computer from privacy concerns. With the camera, you can also use the Windows sign-in feature for face ID, which works well. The clarity of video is decent enough, it also offers head tracking with the built-in infrared camera. This is primarily used for the sign-in, as well as Dell’s own software Wave NX, which is a 3D audio software that tracks your head movement so it can adjust to where you will hear the sound from. Another useful program that Dell includes, is called Cinema Color. This is basically 4 different color presets that change your screen. For example, there’s movie, evening, sports and animation. All of which add a completely different look to the screen. There is one other program that I think is worth mentioning and that’s Dell mobile connect program. With the program and the companion app installed on your smartphone, you can easily mirror, transfer pics and documents, as well as text and make calls all wirelessly from your computer. This is nice if you have an iPhone and want to make and receive calls on your PC without any issues or cables. While the mirroring works, it is a bit laggy. I found that its easier just to use my phone when needed. But the file transfer, text and calls work well.
After using the computer for a little under a week, I haven’t had any issues so far. Everything has worked good and fast. Although, there is one minor issue I do have and that’s the screen brightness. The screen isn’t all that bright during the day, which is kind of a pain if you have it by a window or in a bright room. But that’s only when the sun is shining through. It also puts off a bad glare if sunlight hits it. That’s really the only complaint I have about the computer. Other than that, the PC has been able to do everything that I’ve thrown at it in terms of multi-tasking – without so much as a pause.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the Dell All-In-One 5400. This is a great computer whether you’re using it for work, school, or entertainment. The built-in soundbar gives you good sound right out if the box. The 16GB of DDR4 combined with the 11th gen i7 processor, lets you multitask with ease. And the retractable camera works great for video chat. If you are looking for a new computer, the Dell 5400 is definitely a good way to go, and I highly recommend it.

Wahl T-Pro Corded Trimmer/Shaver
Great neck trimmer
Customer Rating
4.0
The Wahl T-pro corded trimmer is a nice trimmer for certain tasks. I found that it really works best as a neck trimmer. The trimmer itself is small and very lightweight, yet manages to pack a very strong motor inside. The stainless-steel precision blades are very sharp and do an excellent job at detailed trimming. The trimmer comes will 3 different size attachments, a cleaning brush, and a small bottle of oil.
If you're someone like me who has very thick hair, then you already know that it's a struggle to find a decent neck trimmer. Well look no further because this one does a great job. The trimmer manages to catch every hair on the first go, plus it doesn't leave red or irritated skin. The long sides of the head extend out on each side - to give you great precision in shaping. The cord is around 7ft. long, which for me, gives me just enough space. The results of my trim were much better than expected and left me very satisfied.
Next, I decided to try out the trimmer on my beard...Unfortunately, I didn't have the same experience. As sharp as the blades are, they're still a little too thick for my facial hair. When I tried to shave my beard, it would snag my hair (which hurts like no other), plus it would nick my skin resulting in a lot of pain and blood. Needless to say, the trimmer doesn't work very well for me as a beard trimmer. But that's just me, everybody has different hair...
Overall, I think the Wahl T-Pro corded trimmer is a fantastic trimmer when used as a neck trimmer. It's small, lightweight and gives a clean and precise trim. In my case, the trimmer doesn't trim my beard very well, but that isn't an issue for me as I have other devices for that. I think this is a fantastic neck trimmer and would recommend it to anyone.

Getting worse

3.0
I've been using HR Block for years to file my taxes, while the software is minimal at best. There are a lot of things the software manages to nail, ease of use, good user interface, fast loading...But there are a lot of things the software fails on. The help section, isn't really helpful when I have to result in looking at google for simple tax definitions. They really need to work on updating that. Second, and the biggest one, is filling the correct forms. I was recently penalized by the IRS for filling a form under the wrong section last year. In which, I used the HR Block software and thought I was filling the correct form. This is where the software fails in my opinion. While it does try to guid the user through the filling process, it doesn't do a good job at explaining certain things clearly enough. After 2 years, I see no change in how to correctly file a 1099-NEC under section C. According to the user, everything looks good, until you get a letter from the IRS stating you owe more in taxes, because it was filed under the wrong section. There is no place on the software, that informs you what section you are filing the forms under. This was a costly mistake too!
The second biggest problem I have seems to be a common trend with HR Block, and that's with all their add on purchases. "upgrade to premium for only $59.99". They charge you for the software to begin with, now they want to charge you more for a more thorough accuracy check. This isn't very good for the customer, and doesn't give me confidence in the software that I'm currently using, if now there's a more accurate version..I can't help but to get the feeling that I'm being hustled every time I use this software.
Overall, the software is a hit or a miss. If you have very simple taxes, meaning you only have 1 or more w-2's then this might be for you. But if you need a more thorough tax software, then I would defiantly look elsewhere.

Good purifier, but limited wifi connectivity
Customer Rating

The Blueair Health protect 7470i is a well-built air purifier with premium features, unfortunately many of the features require the use of a buggy app. Setting up the purifier out of the box, is simple and straight forward. Once that’s done, you just plug in the purifier and proceed to set it up using the app. The 7470i is rather large and heavy, but the design is very aesthetic and pleasing. On the top of the purifier consists of a small square LCD display, this gives you all sorts of information such as; room temperature, humidity level, air quality levels, and the lifespan of the current filter. Below the screen has your basic controls, which are touch sensitive, such as power, auto mode, WIFI toggle etc. Directly under the controls is a long LED light strip that shines a color depending on the air quality…For instance, if the air quality is good it shines blue, if it’s bad then it shines red etc... The light bar is extremely bright, which is fine but the only way to adjust the brightness is through the app. I wish they would’ve incorporated the light controls on the machine itself.
In order to get the full benefit of the 7470i purifier, you will need to download the app and connect the purifier to WiFi. The 7470i purifier works in conjunction with the blueair app, and without the app, you immediately lose out on many of the products features. With the app, you are able to change the brightness of the LED light strip/LCD display, set a manual fan speed, set a custom timer, but most importantly, this is where you get all your information about your air quality. Sadly, the app is poorly designed and doesn’t let you connect to mesh networks or modem/router combos. I have countless devices connected to my network, including other brands of air purifiers and not once have I ever had an issue like this before. But the biggest problem I have about that, is not anywhere in the manual or on the website does it state this. The only I was able to find this out, was after support contacted me about it. That being said, I was able to connect my purifier to my mobile hotspot in order to set it up and register it for the first time.
Once the purifier is up and running, you will hardly notice it running as its very quiet. Although the one thing that is very distracting is the LED light strip on the top of the unit. It constantly stays lit up. You can adjust the brightness in the app, but when you lower it, it also lowers the brightness on the LCD screen (which isn’t that bright to begin with)... The purifier seems to do a good job at what it was designed for, which is cleaning the air. I was able to notice a big difference in my air quality, as I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night stuffy as I usually do. This really helps a lot, especially when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep.
Overall, I am pretty disappointed with how Blueair designed the app and how it connects to certain WiFi networks only. The absurdly bright LED strip on the top of the unit, makes it hard to fall asleep to and without being able to connect to the app, I had to result in putting a sock over it. While you can adjust the brightness, anything over 1% is still too bright for me and at that, you won’t be able to see the LCD display. I will say, that the unit is very quiet and seems to clean the air properly. The Blueair 7470i is a very nice purifier, with tons of features…But if you currently have a router/modem combo, or mesh network, then you’re going to have a hard time connecting it to your network. Sadly, because of that reason, I wouldn’t be able to recommend this to anyone.

Fairly disappointing carpet cleaner
Customer Rating
2.0
Let me start off by saying, I love Bissell Vacuums. My current vacuum is a Bissell and it is hands down, the best vacuum I have ever used. With that in mind, I was eager to try out Bissell’s carpet cleaner…Unfortunately, it fails to deliver.
To start off, one of the best features about this carpet cleaner, is how lightweight it is. The handle can extend and detract into itself, making it easy to store and carry around. The cleaner is small, including the tank. The bright side to this, it makes cleaning out the vacuum and storing it - much easier. The downside, it will require multiple times of emptying the tank if you plan on cleaning more than one room. The cleaner doesn’t come with any attachments or extensions, so if you’re looking to clean stairs you’re out of luck. The biggest disappointment I have, is the power of the cleaner, it severely lacks any real power. Once I started cleaning and spraying the solution on the carpet, it took forever for the carpet to dry. The drying mechanism in the cleaner is very poor, and almost nonexistent. I would spend 10 minutes going over the same spot trying to dry it, only to find out it was still very wet. Another problem with the cleaner, is it does a terrible job at cleaning heavy or even light dirt spots.
Once the carpet is done, now you have to rinse out and clean the carpet cleaner. Like I mentioned before, it is fairly easy to clean out the tank due to the smaller size. The way Bissell designed this, makes it very easy to take apart and clean. It’s just a matter of detaching, rinsing and putting it back together.
Overall, I am pretty disappointed with how the cleaner performs. It didn’t do a very good job at removing any sort of dirt stains, and it does a terrible job at drying the carpet. The cleaner, has nothing special about it, no interesting features, or even any attachments. As much as I like Bissell vacuums, sadly I would have to give this a hard pass.

This GE blender is truly an amazing device for the kitchen. From the look all the way to the build quality, this makes for a top notch blender.
The Blender comes with the stainless steel base, a very large container for mixing, and a 3-piece lid. The lid is actually pretty convenient as the top comes apart to add ingredients, plus there is another smaller piece that detaches for adding liquid. The base is constructed of high quality stainless steel, and looks amazing standing on the counter. The knobs and switches have a nice chrome accent, as well. A very nice feature to the blender is that there are 2 suction cups at the bottom of the blender that holds it in place, so it won't move around when blending.
The blender has 5 different speed, as well a a pulse mode. Starting at the lowest speed, I was impressed at how powerful it was able to chop and mix and that was just the lowest speed. Once I turned it up to higher level, the blender literally pulverizes everything into liquid, without skipping a beat. I was able to crush ice in seconds, and making smoothies is a snap. I really like how the cover comes apart to add fruits without making a big splash everywhere.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the GE 5-speed blender. It does everything I expected and more. The elegant look of it, makes it shine on the counter. Plus with the suction cups, I was able to blend without my blender moving all over the place. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new blender.

When I first heard about the weboost Home Studio, I was a little bit skeptical about how would actually improve my cell reception..After installing and testing it out, I was amazed at how well this actually worked. Not only did the weboost improve my cell reception, but it actually more than doubled my download and upload speeds.
Setting up the weboost Home Studio takes a little bit of work. You will have to run coax cable from the antenna (outside), to the boost (inside) your desired room. When installing the antenna outside, you will use an app that locates the nearest cell tower, so you know what direction to point the antenna. After you have everything installed, you then need to activate the boost through your cell providers website. The activation is incredibly easy, the part that took the longest was having to call to get my account number. Once you activate the boost through your cell provider, the last thing you need to do is plug in the boost to the included power cord. The boost immediately turns on, there are no waiting times for it to load up either.
The way the booster works is, it takes the signal from the nearest cell tower and then amplifies it into a room in your home. The better the signal is, the larger the area that the boost will provide. Keep in mind, if you have no signal, the boost won't be able to create one for you. So you will need at least some sort of signal. The booster also allows for multiple devices to use the booster at the same time, but they have to be on the same network as you are.
Before I installed the boost in my living room, I decided to run a couple speed tests to see what I was getting, The results were nothing to brag about, as they were pretty slow. I then ran the tests again after the boost was installed and couldn't believe how much of a difference it made. It more than doubled my speeds.
Overall, I am very pleased with the weboost Home Studio. It really does make a huge difference in my cell service by giving me faster upload/download speeds, as well as giving me a better signal. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a week signal and needs a better one.

Philips Norelco - Shaver 7500, Rechargeable Wet & Dry Electric Shaver with SenseIQ Technology - Ink Black
Philips Norelco Shaver 7500, Rechargeable Wet & Dry Electric Shaver with SenseIQ Technology, Quick Clean Pod, Travel Case and Pop-up Trimmer, S7783/84
Amazing Electric Shaver
Customer Rating
5.0
The Norelco 7500 electric shave has so many new features that help you achieve a comfortable and fast shave.
The shaver comes equipped with a very nice carrying case, power cord, quick cleaning pod, and a small cleaning brush. The shaver has a built-in gyroscope that acts as a motion control sensor which works in conjunction with the app (more on that later). The shaver is equipped with skin protect blades that offer a nice comfortable shave, which makes it easy on your skin to avoid razor bumps and skin irritation. The 360 deg contour heads, flex and pivot to bend to the shape of your face - giving you a precise shave. After each shave you place the shaver inside the quick cleaning pod, push the power button and let it clean itself in about a minute. The cleaning pod is very useful and convenient, as it does a really good job at deep cleaning the razor which saves a lot of time.
The shaver is also equipped with bluetooth, so it can connect to the dedicated app and give it a reading on how you shave. With the help of the gyroscope, it can tell if you're properly turning the shaver, as well as positioning it the right way. The shaver has a built-in chip that sends data to the app, which in turn tells you things like I just mentioned, as well as how long you take to shave. In the app, you can set up your own custom shave plan that detects if you are shaving right. I know that sounds a little weird having an app tell you how to shave...but it actually is really useful and helpful information. One of the main purposes of the plan, is to help you eliminate things such as skin irritation, razor burn and so forth. By allowing it to use the data on how you're shaving, it can then tell you if you're shaving too hard, not rotating it properly, or even shaving too long.
If you're someone like me who has very thick facial hair, then you're no stranger to skin irritation and redness from shaving. As a result, I can't use electric shavers due to how badly they irritate my skin. But with the Norelco 7500, I have finally found an electric shaver that gets the job done well and doesn't cause irritation. That's the best part about the app and all the features this shaver offers. It allowed me to see how I was shaving, either too long, or not doing it in the correct motion.
Lastly, the shaver has a nice built-in rechargeable battery that lasts up to 1 hour. That might not seem like much, but it really is. Especially if your shave is suppose to be around 4 min a shave. The battery also charges very quickly, which is something I have not seen in an electric razor before. Once plugged in, you can get a full charge from 0-100% in one hour.
Overall, I am very impressed the Norelco 7500. The amount of features this shaver has is insane. Plus, the built-in battery lasts awhile and charges fast. With the dedicated app, this is where the shaver really reaches its full potential, by using how you shave and giving you tips on how to improve. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a new electric shaver.

The Samsung 980 pro 1TB NVMe SSD is on of the best on the market.
Since the introduction of NVMe SSD's, this has changed the game of how fast data can read and write. With Samsung's new 980 pro PCIe 4.0, they managed to take it a step further.
Since the introduction of NVMe SSD's, this has changed the game of how fast data can read and write. With Samsung's new 980 pro PCIe 4.0, they managed to take it a step further.
Installation of the 980 pro is as simple as plugging in the SSD to the motherboard, then booting up your computer. With the help of the dedicated Samsung software, Magician software - this lets you optimize your new drive by a simple click of a button,(at least it was in the past). Once I booted up my computer, I opened the Magician software to try and optimize my new SSD, only to find that the software doesn't recognize the new Samsung SSD. After hours of trying to troubleshoot and fix the problem, I finally decided to give up on the software. After all, the drive was there, and it was working just fine.
Next, I decided to run a few tests to see the difference in performance. I did notice a nice speed boost when loading games, which really takes advantage of the NVMe. Games played very smooth and fast. Next I tried to do a little bit of video editing. I was really impressed with how fast and fluent editing was on the new SSD.
Overall, I am truly impressed with the 980 Pro NVMe SSD. The M.2 form factor makes it easy to install and saves a lot of space inside your computer. The performance of the drive is super fast and very quiet. The only issue I faced was with Samsung's Magician software, which I'm not too worried about it as the drive performs just fine without it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new SSD.

The compact Yamaha SR-C20 sound bar fits easily in whatever space is available and can be wall-mounted for even more possibilities. Setup is easy with a simple connection to your TV while Bluetooth lets you stream wirelessly from your mobile devices.
Average sound bar
Customer Rating
3.0
The Yamaha SR-C20A is a small sound bar that manages to compact a lot into it...Unfortunately, the sound falls flat.
The Sound bar comes equipped with 2 - 1/8” cones, and a built-in subwoofer 3” cone with 2 passive radiators. Yamaha managed to combine all this in a 23” bar. The sound bar offers bluetooth support, 1-HDMI ARC input, 2- Optical inputs, and an Analog input. It offers Dolby Digital surround and has 4 different preselected sound modes: Movie, Stereo, Game, Analog. There is a Bass booster function as well as a clear voice booster, both of which do enhance the sound quality. Aside from the sound modes, the only sound control option you have is the bass. I wish there was an option to control treble, but I guess Yamaha thought those levels are best left alone..
The Sound quality, in my opinion, is average. Considering the size of the bar, I am impressed with all they were able to fit into it. When playing music through bluetooth, I found the sound to fall flat...Meaning, there wasn’t much clarity to it, it just sounded average. At louder volumes, the bass would bottom out and rattle. When watching movies, the sound was decent, the surround effect seemed to work good, bass was decent and voices were clear enough to hear. The only problem is, the voices were so out of sync with the TV, that it became unwatchable. I could understand if I was using bluetooth, but this happened when connected through an optical cable. Unfortunately there is no option to adjust that.
The sound bar can also be controlled with your smartphone, with the Yamaha app. The app doesn’t do that much more than the included remote, but it is convenient if your phone is next to you and the remote is out of reach.
Overall, the Yamaha sound bar is a great size for small spaces. For larger rooms, you might want to look for a bigger bar. The sound quality is average, bass is there, but nothing wall shattering, and dialog is clear. The biggest complaint, I have is how out of sync the voices are with the TV and how there is no option to change that. I would recommend this if you’re looking to buy your first sound bar, or if you have limited space.
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of the downfalls of the DJI Osmo Mobile, is it needed to be balanced every time. Does this new version need to be balanced before use as well?
Not really. As long as you put the clamp on centered, then it should be fine.

Does the magnetic sticker phone attachment interfere with wireless phone charging?
Yes is does. You will not be able to use wireless charging, or a phone case with it attached. There is a removable clamp that is also included, this is what I use.

Hi does this help with improving vitamin D levels ?
No. This is just a light, it does not replace the vitamins you get from the sun.
