My wife loves it!
Customer Rating

My wife tested the Elvie Stride Plus and she absolutely loved it. She was very impressed with not only the quality and performance of the pump but also with how many accessories that were included in the box.
The greatest benefit she saw with the Stride plus is that it comes with a lot of accessories including: a carrying bag, a wet bag, a cool bag to store the milk, 2 spare valves, and 4 breast shields. The breast shields include 2 different sizes 21mm and 24mm. The hub can be strapped to her waist, or it can be hung around her neck with the included strap. She loved the ability to have the option to pump out of one breast, or both it was just a simple adjustment to close off one of the tubes to the pump.
My wife isn’t very tech savvy, so she valued the simplicity of the setup process. Within the box came a very well written manual. The app and all of the tutorials she could access, were of great benefit to her. She is someone that learns by doing and to be able to have very detailed videos gave her great confidence in getting started with the pump on her own. Through the app is where you can control the stride plus, such as starting pump sessions, setting timers and changing the intensity of the suction. The app is very informative and has many useful tips on how to achieve better pumping results. One of her favorite features of the app was the ability to log how much she had been able to pump in each session. She loves the ability to track her milk production outcomes.
The Elvie Stride is very comfortable and convenient. Being hands free, gives her the flexibility to be able to move from any activity or room while getting her pump on. She really took advantage of this convenience to pump while at home doing different household activities as well being out in public. The breast shields are extremely comfortable, it fits both breasts easily even though they are different sizes. Everything is made of great quality, from the Hub to the breast shields, they are built to last.
The only thing she could see could use room for improvement was the battery life. She has been able to get a solid one day of pumping (about 4 power pump sessions worth) on a single charge. She would like to see the battery life minimally go at least two days’ worth on a single charge. It was very helpful for her to see how low the unit’s battery life was at the time she would go to pump.
Overall, my wife was very impressed with the Elvie Stride Plus. She thinks this is an incredible breast pump. It’s very easy to operate and offers plenty of accessories. Everything is built of great quality, and the unit is really comfortable to wear. The best part, is the hands free, having the flexibility to move around while pumping is so convenient. She would highly recommend this to any new mother looking for a good quality breast pump.

The Insignia phone case for the iPhone 14 pro max is well made. The one I have is clear with green leaves on the back of it. The design is gorgeous, the leaves have a nice oil painting look to them and the really stand out. Other than the leaves, everything else is clear which allows the iPhone’s original color to shine through it so you can actually get to see the color of the iPhone you chose. The case is very comfortable to hold, and the buttons are easy to press. The case also has a bumper that wraps around the iPhone's cameras, so it can protect them when placing it on flat surfaces. The box states that the case can protect it from up to an 8ft drop, but for obvious reasons, I’m not going to be the one to test this theory out.
Overall, the Insignia case is a great option for my new iPhone 14 pro max. It looks very classy, the leaves look like they were hand painted on instead of a printed graphic. The case is durable, and the buttons are easy to press. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new iPhone case.

The Martin Logan Motion XT F200 Speakers are among some of the finest speakers made to date. Everything about the speakers scream high end; from the design all the way down to the sound and performance, the F200’s do not disappoint.
Each speaker comes with an accessory box which includes, 4 adjustable feet with 2 different standing options; rubber feet for hard surfaces or pointed for carpet. The metal feet help to stabilize the speakers and let them deliver amazing sound without causing vibration and/ distortion. You can also adjust each individual one to achieve an even elevation with just the turn of the foot, and they’re incredibly functional.
The F200’s are big speakers, and they look beautiful. Standing over 4 feet tall and over a foot wide, they definitely leave an impression in your room. The front of the speaker is made of a black matte finish, and on the sides and back of the speaker is a gloss black finish. The speakers have a Gen 2 folded motion tweeter that delivers crystal clear sound along with a Nomex reinforced Kevlar midrange speaker and 3 – 8” aluminum bass drivers. On the bottom of each speaker, there are downward-firing ports for clear and heavy bass. The speakers have the option to both be bridged and include 2 jumper plates on each speaker. The speakers are compatible with 4, 6 or 8ohm output, so I connected them to my Sonos Amp which supplies enough power to each.
I have to admit, I am a big fan of Martin Logan speakers, I have always found that they deliver amazing quality sound and performance, and the F200’s are no exception. The new Gen 2 Folded motion tweeter combined with the Kevlar midrange - provides such an amazing level of clarity and detail. When listening to music, each note is perfectly distinguishable, and I’m able to hear every detail like never before. Combined with the triple 8” bass drivers, these speakers are able to deliver such a wide range of sound. The bass is what you would come to expect from Martin Logan, its incredibly powerful, yet super smooth. It’s easy to tell these speakers are finely tuned, the bass doesn’t overpower the music or vocals, it works in perfect harmony.
The F200’s perform just as well when watching TV or movies. The clarity of people’s voices sounded so clear, that it sounds like they were standing right in front of me. With the powerful bass, actions scenes came to life, and I was able to feel every explosion. It’s so comforting to know that I can finally start watching movies and shows without having to use the subtitles anymore.
Overall, with the new Motion XT F200 speakers Martin Logan has raised the bar for what tower speakers should sound like. These speakers are incredible both inside and out. They have such a wide range of sound from highs to lows. The new Gen 2 Folded motion tweeter combined with the Kevlar midrange makes everything sound so crystal clear and detailed. The triple 8” drivers provide incredibly powerful, yet smooth bass. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for new speakers.

Customer Rating
4.0
The Philips Norelco Multigroom 5000 is a decent electric trimmer that includes plenty of different attachments. Not only does it cut your beard, but it’s also made to cut your head and body hair as well.
The box includes the trimmer 5000, a USB proprietary charging cable, a carrying pouch, and 15 different attachments. Aside from the standard cutting blades there is also a nose trimmer, an eyebrow trimmer, and a larger blade trimmer for trimming your head. I am a little disappointed that the box doesn’t include the power block, but luckily, I have a few extra laying around. It would have also been nice if there was a stand for the trimmer instead of just a carrying pouch.
The first thing I had to do was charge the trimmer as it was completely dead out of the box. This was actually pretty nice because it gave me a chance to see how long a full charge takes right away. I am happy to say that the 70min charge time is accurate. And with a 5 min quick charge for about 10-15min. This is incredibly useful because I can’t tell you how many times my old trimmer was dead when I went to use it and it would take forever to charge it.
After the trimmer was fully charged, I tried it out on my facial hair first…The results are fantastic. I have very thick hair and this trimmer was able to cut through it like butter. I especially like the attachment with 5 different lengths built in, it was able to make a clean and even cut throughout my entire beard. It’s also nice that the entire trimmer is washable, so cleaning is a sinch. The only part that I found a little odd, is the nose trimmer doesn’t come apart to clean it out. Seems to me a lot of dirt and hair can get trapped inside the nozzle, even after washing it. Next, I decided to trim my head, I switched to the wider blades and tried it out. I was met with the same results; my cut was even and smooth. And with the handy battery indicator, I was able to know how low my battery was left with the color indicator. My final results, I ended up with a clean fade.
Overall, I am impressed with the Multigroom 5000. I love how well the grip stays firm in my hand, and the fast charging is a huge benefit. It has more than enough attachments for me, and it cuts through my hair smooth with no snags. It would have been nice if it came with a stand, but at least it does come with a carrying pouch. What I think Phillips needs to include is the power brick for obvious reasons. Other than that, this is a solid trimmer, and I would definitely recommend it.

The HP Smart Tank 5101 is a smart, connected and refillable supertank printer that makes printing seamless for the whole family with its cartridge-free, high capacity and wireless connectivity. Create everyday color documents at a low cost with up to 2 years of Original HP Ink included in the box.

Customer Rating

The HP Smart Tank 5101 printer is a great value that offers decent prints.
Inside the box you get the printer, a 2-year supply of ink, and the power cord. The printer can be set up with the computer software, or the mobile app. Installing and setting up the printer is pretty simple, HP does provide detailed instructions on how to install the ink and turn on the printer, after that you are directed to either the computer software, or the mobile app. The printer does have a tiny display on the top of it, but I found it kind of useless seeing how it should’ve been located on the front of the printer. There are also physical buttons to press on the printer, like color copy, or black and white copy, also a very useful card copy button that take a scan of both the front and back of a card and adds it to one sheet.

The printer is a wireless printer, which means most of the features you will find are going to be in the HP app. The app can be controlled from a phone or computer. In the app you will be able to fine tune settings like borderless printing, adjust scan options and make changes to scans, and also update the printer’s software. The printer can print 12 pages per minutes in black, and it prints 5 pages per minute in color. It also doesn’t make a lot of noise when printing, but if you find that it’s too loud, there is a quiet print option found in setting on the app. I printed a couple of just black pages to test how well typing looks and it came out crystal clear and very eligible. Next, I tested out a few colored prints with some different pictures and the results were great, the colors came out very vibrant and vivid, yet they were also very clear.
Overall, I am very happy with the HP Smart Tank 5101. It has everything I need to get the printing job done. It doesn’t over complicate things by adding a bunch of features that no one ever needs, and its easy to operate. But the best feature by far is the 2-year ink tanks. This saves so much money and time in the need to replace ink and its very convenient. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new printer.

Good entry level soundbar
Customer Rating
4.0
The Samsung B450 2.1ch soundbar is a good budget soundbar. The B450 is as standard as any soundbar can get, but what it lacks in the number of speakers, it makes up for in features. It has 2 channel speakers in the soundbar itself, plus a wireless subwoofer. Surprisingly, there are only 2 options for connecting the soundbar to your TV…Either via the included optical cable, or Bluetooth. Sadly, this soundbar does not offer HDMI. On the plus side, the soundbar can be mounted and does include mounting brackets.
The B450 looks nice, it reminds me of a brushed steel look. The front of the soundbar has a small LCD display that is easy to see even behind the grill. The included remote is one of the nicest remotes Samsung has made in a while. The soundbar features the latest version of Bluetooth and works flawlessly. The B450 also features some nice sound modes that can really enhance your listening experience. Such as the bass boost, voice enhance, night mode, and adaptive sound. The adaptive sound changes the sound mode to match the content you’re watching, for example action movies, games etc.
Once I connected the soundbar, I tried out various things. First, I wanted to test out how music sounds, so I connected it to my iPhone via bluetooth…The sound quality is a lot better than I expected to get. There is a decent range of audio from all sound fields. The highs were bright and mids were distinguishable, but the bass was rather lacking. Next, I wanted to test out how well movies sound, this is where the soundbar started to shine. The voice enhance really works well with raising the vocal levels - making it much easier to hear spoken words. The surround sound effect was actually pretty impressive, and the bass was pretty good with explosions. The one problem that I have, and this happens with every Samsung soundbar that I have used, the vol level is inconsistent. Meaning, the volume gets higher and lower sporadically.
Overall, the Samsung B450 is a great entry level soundbar. It has a wide range of audio levels from lows to highs and the wireless subwoofer packs a decent punch for added bass. The downsides are; no HDMI connection, and over time the vol levels get a little wonky. All in all, this is solid soundbar.

A compact, foldable design weighing under 249 g makes DJI Mini 3 a great companion on any outing. Capture in 4K HDR, and with an extended battery life of up to 40 minutes, you can capture your surroundings in stunning detail without worrying about low battery.
Great drone package
Customer Rating
5.0
The DJI Mini 3 Fly more combo is a perfect choice for someone looking to get into flying drones. The fly more combo pack is essential when buying the Mini 3 as it comes with a very nice carrying case, 12 replacement blades, 3 batteries plus a charging dock. The pack also comes with the DJI RC remote controller with a beautiful 6” touchscreen, and of course the drone mini 3 itself.
The first thing I’m going to talk about is the RC remote. This is a very well-designed remote with many features, and a great build quality. The two metal joysticks, unscrew and can be stored on the back of the remote for easy storage. The joysticks are easy to control, due to the rivets on top – they are easy to maintain a solid grip the whole time. The remote has the DJI fly app built-in, so you won’t need to use your phone. With the Fly app you are able to download offline maps directly to your remote, you can access no fly zones, update GPS landing locations, you can also customize the buttons on the remote to your choosing. The remote sends a video signal from the drone to the screen so you’re able to see where you’re flying in real time. The video quality is very sharp, and I never experienced any lag or video disruption at all. Fly the drone with the remote is a dream, it controls very well, it incredibly responsive and feels great.
As for the drone, it performs great. There are plenty of features that the mini 3 offer that makes it easy for anyone to fly. The drone has auto takeoff, as well as auto landing so you won’t need to worry about crashing on a land. The drone is equipped with an infrared sensing system and a downward vision system, this allows the drone to be able to hover stably. The RTH (return to home) feature lets the drone automatically return to the marked GPS signal where it took off. This acts as a failsafe in case the battery gets to low or the signal gets lost, thankfully I haven’t had the need to use this one yet. As for the camera on the drone, it is indeed very impressive. The stability is absolutely incredible, even at fast flying speeds the camera has zero shake and maintains a perfect centered shot. The camera can shoot up to 4K at 30 fps, with HDR. The footage looks great, it’s very crisp and sharp, I only have one complaint, the motion is choppy when shooting fast movements and this is at 4k 30fps. Still images look amazing, plus you can shoot in both vertical and horizontal with just the push of a button. The camera can be zoomed 4x with greatly detailed shots.
The battery life on one standard battery is about 36min, of course this varies on how you use the drone. I found that the average fly time was around 30 mins for me on a single charge. This is where the extra 2 batteries really come in handy. The batteries run out a lot faster than you realize and having backups with you will save your day. With included battery dock, not only can it hold all three batteries, but it also lets you charge your remote incase that runs low on battery.
Overall, the DJI mini 3 is a great drone that offers a lot of features. It truly is a blast to fly. With all the built-in safety features, it takes away a lot of stress and worries one would get about crashing. The combo pack is essential for this drone, as the carrying case and the batteries are definitely needed. The camera quality is nice, especially when taking still. And the RC remote makes flying feel comfortable a enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new drone.

The Hyperdrive Duo Pro 7-in-2 USB-C Hub is a useful adapter for some MacBook’s, but not all.
Keep in mind my review reflects the rating for use with a MacBook Pro 2021 only.
Keep in mind my review reflects the rating for use with a MacBook Pro 2021 only.
The Hyperdrive comes with 2 adapters, one for the MacBook pro/Air 2016-2020, and the other for a 2021 MacBook pro. There is also a USB-C male to female adapter for so you can use the Hyperdrive with an iPad or PC. The adapter can be placed on either side of your Mac (2016-2020 only) as long as you have 2 USB-C ports. The adapter has 2 USB-C ports, yet only one of them is 40gbps the other is 5gbps. There is also a USB-A, a gigabit ethernet port, 3.5mm audio jack, a Micro SD slot (104MB/S) and an HDMI input that supports 4K/60Hz.
When using this on a MacBook 2016-2020, this is a great hub. It actually adds many ports that the computer didn’t already have, for ex the HDMI, USB-A, micro sd and ethernet port. This is also great for the new MacBook Air as it fits nice and adds all the same extra features. But this adapter provides little to nothing for the new MacBook pro’s (2021). The only thing this adds is an ethernet port and a USB-A port, but at the cost of taking up 2 of you USB-C ports. Grated this does have 2 USB-C ports, keep in mind that only 1 of them are actually thunderbolt 4 speeds. The rest of the port, the MacBook already has, so its not really ideal of you own the new MacBook pros. It’s also worth noting that when this is plugged into a MacBook (2021), the lid does not close all the way and if left attached, could damage the screen.
Overall, if you have the new MacBook Air or an older MacBook pro (2016-2020), then this is a great option for a hub. It has all the components one would need, and it’s made of good quality aluminum. On the other hand, if you’re like me and own a MacBook pro-2021, then this is kind of pointless, as your MacBook already has most of these inputs. Not to mention, this should not be left in when you are on the move, as it will damage your MacBook’s screen. Therefore, I would not recommend this for the new MacBook pro 2021 or later.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is no microwave, toaster oven or broiler…it’s a revolutionary new way to cook. Hugely popular in Asia and available in the US for the first time, the Panasonic HomeCHEF 7-in-1 Compact Oven uniquely uses the power of steam and convection cooking together so you can roast, bake, steam, slow cook, air fry and ferment your way to incredible meals, sides and desserts. With combination cooking, steam insures consistently juicy, tender melt-in-your-mouth insides while convection delivers perfectly brown, crispy outsides. What would normally require 2-3 different processes can now be done in 1…plus, the enclosed space means less nutrients escape than with stovetop cooking. The HomeCHEF 7-in-1 is large enough to fit a whole chicken or a dozen muffins, yet small enough to outperform a traditional oven in both accuracy and speed. The icing on the (deliciously baked) cake? With steam you can sanitize everything from utensils to baby bottles, plus prep the inside cavity for easy wipe-and-go cleanup.
Great oven with many features.

The Panasonic Home Chef is a great addition to any kitchen. The amazing part about this stunning compact oven is how they were able to equip it with so many features and so many ways to cook. For instance, it can be used as an Air Fry, a convection bake, 2 modes of Steam bake, slow cook, and ferment. The oven also has a self-cleaning method that auto activates. Inside the box includes 2 – wire racks, 2 – metal trays, an in-depth instruction booklet that has many different recipe’s you can try.
The first thing I noticed after unboxing the Home Chef, is that it looks like a shrunken down stove oven, only with the stove on top. The front looks clean, a black front with glass to see inside and a gun metal color to the extended handle. It doesn’t require any setting up, once you plug it in, it’s ready to cook on the settings of your choosing.
I wanted to start with something easy, so I decided to test out air fryer on some chicken wings. I like how simple the oven is to operate. It has an easy-to-read display that gives you the exact information you need without adding 50 different things that nobody even understands anyway, it’s very simple. The results were fantastic! The oven doesn’t make that much noise, it was surprisingly quiet. The one thing that was annoying is that once your timer is done cooking, then oven then cools down and starts the auto clean process automatically. The problem is, I still had more stuff to cook and now I have to start the pre heat all over again which takes another 7 mins. There is a way to keep it on, you can add more time, but this only works 3 times, then it goes to auto clean. Next, I tried the Convection oven to make some veggies…These turned out great! They tasted very fresh, with lots of flavor.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the Home Chef. I’ve used the oven for over a week now and have made many different meals. I’ve tried most of the features and I’m happy to say they all worked well. The one issue I do have with the oven is when using the air fryer and trying to cook multiple meals, you will need to wait for it to cool down and then re heat in order to make another meal. Other than that, I think this is a great oven and I highly recommend it.

Customer Rating

Adobe Premiere Elements 2023 has made some huge improvements since the last time I’ve used the software. The biggest change is the support for the new MacBook Pro with the M1 chips.
I downloaded the software for my newish MacBook pro 14” with M1 Pro and the first thing I noticed was how fast the program booted up this time around. Not only does it boot much faster, but editing is faster than it ever has been before. I also didn’t experience any crashes while using the software (this is a first for me with Premiere). The layout and work areas are split up in 3 different user interfaces; there’s quick, which makes the editing process as quick as possible, there’s guided which walks you through every step of the creating process. Then there’s the expert layout, which is you tradition Premiere layout with all the detail. Personally, I like to use the expert layout because this is what works best for my needs.
Adobe added a bunch of new features in the software that really enhances the editing process as well as make your work even more creative. Some of my favorite new features are stock music. There is a lot of high-quality music that you can add to your videos to make them sound more professional. There is also a lot of new effects added, I was really impressed with the number of affects you can add to your movies. You now have the ability to create stop motion videos, not only do they look really cool, but they are easy to make. And finally, they added the ability to reframe videos that you recorded. This is an extremely useful feature seeing how everyone uses a phone to view content and with the ability to reframe your video, you can resize it to fit on your phones screen.
As far as the editing experience, I think Premiere has some of the best editing capabilities when it comes to cutting clips and adding transition. Making cuts is incredibly smooth and it gives you full control, something other editing software’s need to take note of. Adobe has always managed to master the syncing of audio with clips when making cuts, in this version it does it flawlessly. I loaded a 9-minute video recorded at 4k 30fps, I was able to edit it with no lag at all. The software was able to keep up with everything I was throwing at it. Rendering seems to be improved as well, it took roughly 5min to render and export my 9min 4k movie. The end results were great!
Overall, I think Premiere Elements 2023 has made some excellent improvements, and new features to the software. The stock music is a great addition as well as the extra effects. The ability to now create stop motion is really cool, auto framing videos is incredibly useful. Editing has never been easier and faster with how it takes advantage of the M1 chip. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to become an editor as it’s a great learning tool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When are they going to release a wireless version? I don't like cables. this sucha nueisance can you fix?
You don't have to have the water hose connected in order to use the electric toothbrush. It also works as a standalone electric toothbrush.

Where’s the fun in winning if you can’t do it your way? With the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma, next-gen customizability is now. Armed with extra remappable buttons, Razer Chroma RGB, swappable thumbsticks and more, you’ll always be spoiled for choice when it comes to tearing up the competition.
As far as pc compatibility. Is it wired only or Bluetooth? also can I run 2 of them on my PC at once. Like for co op emulators and 2 player games
The controller is wired only. I'm not sure about 2 running at the same time though.

I recently bought a HP All In One Computer. I was interested in getting another monitor to set up a dual screen display. Would this HP Monitor work with the All In One I already bought? Thanks!
If your all-in-one supports it, then yes it will work. You would just plug in with an HDMI cable, then configure the display settings in windows.
