Decent desktop, build quality is questionable.

This works fine as a daily pc. If your not a gamer or heavy program user this dell PC will do. After only a days use the power button has already broken on the front panel. So case and build quality is kinda questionable.
I mainly use this for daily web browsing, playing poker and candy crush, nothing extreme or heavy use. The PC itself is very light. My biggest complaint with prebuilts and especially dell and Alienware is the parts used. Like the power supply and mother boards. The connectors for power isn't standard and won't work with a off the shelf power supply should the psu die over time.
This comes with the small tower pc a standard cheapo wired keyboard and wired mouse. You do get a dvd/cd rom that come from a laptop. You do get a m.2 SSD with this build which imo is better than a standard hdd or sata SSD. But there is minimal cooling for this pc, but I don't see where it would get hot based on the specs of parts used.
If I were to do it again, I would build my own windows 11 pc myself with better quality parts for the same money or less.

Includes 2.5 Ah battery and rapid charger. Battery is compatible with 75+ Greenworks 80V products. Life. Powered. By Greenworks.
Top notch battery powered yard waste blower.
Customer Rating
5.0
I absolutely love this battery powered blower. The 80 volt battery provides plenty of runtime and then some on a single charge. The blower is lightweight and overly powerful for anything I've used it for, from blowing grass & leaves to finish drying my vehicles after washing.
This Greenworks 80 volt battery blower is a powerhouse, so simple to use with it's squeeze the trigger and go function. No on off switch, just squeeze and go. Battery power is so much more convenient then mixed gas. No yanking and pulling or any need to choke on the 1st start.
This is my 2nd battery powered blower and by far the best I've used. The large battery is good for 3 to 4 uses before I need to recharge the battery, which charges in a hour to full charge. I highly recommend this blower to anyone on the fence on battery powered lawn equipment. It works every single time,and is so easy to use, along with it's lighter weight.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a better option in the same price point. Only negative about battery power is the replacement or extra batteries are pricey, but always nice to have a spare when needed.

This wireless hair trimmer by Conair is nice. Included is rechargeable trimmer, USB power brick, USB micro cable, oil, trimmer cleaning brush, different length attachments and a carrying bag.
I've use this for two hair cuts and I'll say it works very well compared to my old Wahl wired trimmer I've been using for years. This comes with multiple hair length attachments perfect for cutting men's hair. It's rechargeable and very quiet imo.
It took about 2 hours to fully charge when I received it, I liked the blades and went to cutting my son's hair. It's not super light, but not to heavy either. Seems to be made well, mostly metal with minimal plastic parts which I do like. The carrying bag is great for storage and travel, I like the round body for easier grip.
The battery has lasted for two haircuts so far, with more life to go wihi h is great. There's a blue indicator for fully charged. I hope this lasts for years, as I like the simplicity of not having a cord in the way while cutting my son's hair. All in all I would highly recommend this cordless hair trimmer.

(click to see full-size image)
I absolutely love the picture quality of this curved QD OLED gaming monitor/4K capable tv. The picture is incredible, absolute black blacks as expected from oled. The colors just totally pop whether your gaming or surfing the web. Even the built in stereo speakers sound great, which surprised me the most. I was unaware this does come with a 6' mini display port cable, as I purchased a mini or micro HDMI cable for use with this monitor.
Playing game on with this monitor look great from my gaming PC with a Intel i9 12900k and 4080 GPU. Even my PS5 looked incredible as well playing the show 22 and spiderman. I enjoy the rgb ring and all of it built in lighting effects, looks great at night bouncing off the wall. The included remote makes for easy adjustments or use of built in apps and streaming services for watching TV.
The built in 5 Ghz WiFi works great,and holds a strong signal from my Nighthawk WiFi 6E capable router two rooms away. My only complaint would be the enormous power brick that comes with this. I sued 3m tape and mounted it to the underside of my gaming desk to hide it from site.
HDR content looks great on this, as does 4k content whether streaming or using 4k uhd discs from a PS5 disc edition. I hands down love this OLED monitor and recommend it to anyone hesitant to purchase it. It's the perfect size and matches the width of my desk exactly to the mm.

Heavy and awkward, with little to no results.
Customer Rating
3.0
I'll start by saying I'm not overly impressed with this I'll hair remover, it gets to be heavy and awkward during use. I believe a cordless model would be the best option. I used this religiously over 7 weeks and have noticed very little hair removal at all.
I do not like body hair as I use this on my chest, groin, buttocks and upper thighs after shaving 1st with a razor. This can be painful in sensitive areas, such as chest , buttocks and groin. It does get very hot from the ipl flash, which is uncomfortable. To me it just seems like this delays the hair from growing back as fast by a extra day or two.
When I use this device I would overlap the I'll flash to guarantee I was hitting every folice with the light. Still my hair comes back, regardless. I've used this 1x per week and a few times twice a week, all with the same minimal results. For what this costs I'm very unimpressed by the device.
I find that using hard wax has better results, although waxing is painful. The hair stays away for a week, before returning with waxing. This system doesn't work and my skin color is supposed to be one of the best for good results according to the manufacturer.
I do not recommend this item.

With powerful flight performance and a Hasselblad camera, Mavic 3 Classic delivers the absolute essence of flagship imaging. Take it on any adventure to create unforgettable work.
Amazing drone with 4K video capabilities...
Customer Rating
5.0
This newe version of the Mavic 3 now the Classic is amazing. I love the included RC with built in video display, it's nice not needing to always have to pair your smartphone. Video clarity for a 7" screen looks incredible, battery life for the controller is great as well as it's light weight.
This new mavic 3 classic drone has some heat battery life, normally I can take this out twice before needing to recharge the included battery. I plan to purchase another, but they're not cheap at 209.00 per battery.
The shot in 4K resolution looks beautiful when I display it on my 77" 4K OLED, you can also go up to 5.1K resolution. You can either use the drones built in micro sd card slot at frull resolution. Or the micro SD card slot in the RC but it doesn't support as high of resolutions in the rc.
The night mode on this is great, video and pictures look so clear without being to dark. The 4/3 cmos sensor looks awesome at night time, which surprised me coming from the Mini 2. It's nice to see how well video look at night with this Mavic 3 Classic.
Another great feature is the new Cruise Control, just simply set it and forget it. This allows you to focus on your photo or video angle without having to worry about controlling the drone as much. Very easy to use feature you didn't realize you really needed.
Controllability, this drone is so easy to fly and control. I consider myself still learning with this drone. But it's so easy that anyone honestly can fly one. No matter how fast or slow you go with alot or a little wind, the gimble on the camera keeps video so smooth and stable. I was blow away when 1st testing on a windy day, around 25 mph gusts and this handled the wind with ease.
Transferring videos and pics is easy, I just connect my Galaxy tab so ultra to the drone and transfer over the videos and pics I want. Everything is just so easy to do with this drone and rc setup. I only wish I got one of these larger DJI drones sooner. Although not what I consider cheap, they're worth every penny for they're quality and many built in features.
I love the obstacle avoidance as well, something my Mini 2 doesn't have except on the underside. This 3 Classic has sensors on top, back, front and sides as well as the bottom. Plus it has dual LEDs on the bottom, that can be left set to Auto, or Off.
I highly recommend this drone and rc to anyone on the fence. It is truly awesome to use and so easy to fly and control.

Google - Pixel 7 128GB (Unlocked) - Obsidian
Meet Pixel 7. Powered by Google Tensor G2, it’s fast and secure, with amazing battery life and the advanced Pixel Camera. Take beautifully authentic, accurate photos with Real Tone and stunning video with Cinematic Blur. And with the certified Titan M2 security chip and a built-in VPN, Pixel helps protect your personal data.₁
Nice phone, but not pro to me.
Customer Rating
4.0
The new Pisel 7 pro phone has a nice look and feel to it. Triple rear cameras take nice smooth and crisp photos when the camera loads up. After performing a security update the camera seems to take a bit to load up. Especially when switching from the rear camera to the front selfie camera, very laggy.
Coming from a Samsung S22U, this pixel 7 pro feels slightly slower and not as smooth. I'm still getting used to the pixel swipe gestures, but it's overall easy to use and navigate. I find that the 128gb storage isn't going to be enough as my phone is already 40% full after transferring over my apps and contacts only from my S22U.
Not a fan of the rear camera strip and how much it sticks out. I'm using Nova launcher and like it over the stock android launcher look and feel with vera icon pack. Google ecosystem is nice, but just looks plain to me with default launcher and skins.
I wish that for the pro model the storage option was 256gb, as since most manufacturers are doing away with the micro SD card slot, 128gb just doesn't cut it anymore for the premium these phones run. I can see once summer arrives my phone will be filled with pics and videos. Google photos backup will be a must.
The fingerprint scanner works great, but I don't like that the phone won't unlock from a black screen. You either need to lift it to wake, or tap the screen, or tap the power button to use fingerprint scanner to unlock. I haven't used or setup face unlock as it's not as secure in Google implementation of it.
This supposedly support WiFi 6E, but when connected to my new WiFi 6E router it only displays wifi 6 connection whereas my S22U displayed it was connected to WiFi 6E. Maybe this can be applied in a future update by Google. Google assistant is nice and works flawlessly on this device, as I'm a heavy GA user and have many smart devices around my home.
Wireless charging works nicely, as does wired fast charging, I haven't tried the reverse wireless charging as I don't use that feature ever. I do like that the phone has duel bottom speakers, and also uses the ear speaker as well when watching videos or playing music. Overall this is a great smartphone, and works as intended. Overtime it will be better perfected with updates

Perfect t blender for home use, whether just using as a simple blender or making a shake or smoothie. This KitchenAid blender has enough power to meet your home use and cooking needs. My wife and kids love using this KitchenAid blender for making shakes and smoothies all the time at home.
This blender has more than enough power to blend items without struggling to mix the ingredients thoroughly. While this isn't as nice as my current ninja blender and smoothie maker. It has no issues around the kitchen.
It has small stainless steel accents which will help blend in with your other kitchen appliances if you have a stainless steel theme in there already. I've never had any issues with the KitchenAid name and have owned other appliances by them. This is easy to clean and you can put the containers on the top rack of your dishwasher for easy cleaning without any damage or issues.
I've used this a few times myself to make frozen margaritas, and this blends the ice into a slush with ease. I definitely recommend this blender.

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
Easy to use smart thermostat
Customer Rating
3.0
Works well with my 2002 HVAC system. Only difference this thermostat requires a previously unused C Wire, which powers the Honeywell. I like how you can incorporate this thermostat into your existing Google home atmosphere easily. It's so nice to adjust the room temperature without having to get up.
This is much smaller than my older programmable thermostat this replaced, and the color display looks nice. This also will show you the weekly forecast weather and temps. You can also control this via the Honeywell app if you don't have Google assistant or Amazon Alexa.
I've now been using this for 3 years without any issues or problems, while the cost is still on the high side for this thermostat. I do prefer it over other brands offering smart thermostat options on the market. The only issue you may have when installing this onto a older system is if your HVAC doesn't have a C wire. Which can easily be remedied by simply running one inside your wall.
I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a smart thermostat.

These headphones I selected for my son who loves to play Fortnite on his Xbox, but wanted a pair of wireless headphones. Well these look nice and sound great when they connect. Sometimes these connect perfect to his Xbox one s and other times I have to reboot them to get these to connect to the included USB dongle.
Battery life is really good, lasts for a solid day and a half for my son. There are nowhere near as many good wireless options for Xbox like there is ps5, but these are pretty decent selections. I would like to find a nice pair of Corsair wireless headphones for the Xbox, as they seem to make some of the best options.
The charging dock for these is pretty nice and convenient, just set em and forget em. These are quit larges on me and look even funnier on my 10 yr old. But they work and that's what counts, just wish the connection was more reliable. Hopefully the built in rechargeable battery lasts a good year or more hoping for more. As for the cost, when the battery dies so do these headphones.
