Just what I need for my hard wood floor and my carpeted areas. This bot works perfect on both. The bot connects to your wifi via ecovac app, setup takes roughly 5 minutes. Then allow 5 to 6 hours for a full charge. To vacuum I setup my vac and mop bot to be controlled via my google assistant or newly name best display. Simply state start cleaning the floors and away to work this little machine goes.
The bot avoided my furniture and base trim without any whacks or dings, never even touched it at all. Cleanup is easy, just lift its hood and empty the canister. Included with the vac is 6 throw away mop pads, two replace ment dust bristles, a new filter cartridge, as well as a washable mop pad. To mop with the vac fill the tank with purified water, the attach the mop pad and this mops my hardwood floors while avoiding my carpeted areas altogether. Pretty neat to watch in action.
This only connect to 2.4ghz wifi, which makes sense. As 2.4 band has a longer range of coverage. The only area I found disappointing was when the bot needed charging toward the end of cleaning. It took a long time and had trouble routing itself back to its charging base, that I positioned between my dining room hutch and a decorative butler figure. The base is centrally located in the center of my home, which is 1500 sq ft.
Imo compared to another vac bot I own this works just as good, but is half as loud, which I did find nice to the ears. I highly recommend this bot to anyone looking for agreat quality robot vac and mop combo.

This shooting grip paired perfectly with my @6100 camera. No problems getting this paired up with my camera, works well for blogging and selfies. Also great for taking videos, as it helps you stabilize your camera easier.
Not many buttons on the grip making it easy to use and figure out its functions. Uses a CR2303 battery which comes in the package, nice you don't need to worry about charging. Included is a microfiber storage bag for storage.
Imo this is a well designed and thought out camera grip by Sony. I really like how easy it is to use.

I'll start off by saying this is a nicely made camera, small bodied and easy to handle. This included a 32gb sd card along with the 16-50mm lens.
I'm used to lager more user adjustable dslr cameras that are super Bulky. I like the smaller form factor of this mirrorless camera, it has a built in hot shoe for a larger higher quality flash then the tiny built in one. I say the built in flash is tiny, which it is, but it is useful for portraits and closer subjects. The rear display will fold up and down, but not out or swivel, which would be a nice feature to seemon a future model.
I like that the A6100 takes pics in 4K as well as video in 24p and 30p, just not the most desirable 60p. Which isn't a deal breaker imo for the reasonable price of 749.99 retail. The menu system imo, is very outdated, my older dslrs have the exact same menu system and neither of them are a Sony. This does capture great low light photography as well as video. The built in wifi and sony smartphone software to transfer photos to your phone is ok, I find it overly neccessary but many will like the feature and benefits of it.
My only complaints are the outdated menu system as well as poor battery life. Also I don't care for the fact the eye cup view finder isnt live, it's a small monitor, and the delay on it is terrible and irritating to me. I subtracted a star for the 3 cons. All in all I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a relatively reasonable priced mirrorless camera, and maybe buying some higher end lenses.

Quality made gaming headset with rgb lighting by Corsair. Upon charging these headphones and setting them up in Corsairs Cue software. I found them to be comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The ear cups are covered in fabric and have soft padded foam, making them easy to wear for a while at a time, as well as the headband.
Whether gaming or listening to music, the sound from these headphones is surprisingly good. You have the option of having them in Stereo sound, or Surround sound. Both sound modes are enjoyable depending on the content your listening to.
Rgb looks good on these, whether you choose to use it or not. The microphone works well and your voice is crystal clear with a good internet connection. You can easily mute the mic via the button on the headset, or flipping it up. Hopefully these hold up well, as I really like the look and design of the headset.
It would be nice to see this with a wireless charging stand, but thats not super important to me. I have no complaints about this headset, everything just works and works well.

A decent wireless gaming keyboard with rgb. I found this keyboard to have minamal lag while using it wirelessly for gaming. No missed keystrokes or problems I could find with the functionality of the keyboard. Thks is a standard membrane keyblard, not a mechanical one.
Upon unboxing I fully charged and updated the keyboards firmware via Corsairs Cue software. After 2 hours of charging, the keyboard had a full battery and was ready to go. Setup via Cue software is painless, from adding hotkeys, to setting up your choice of rgb pattern and style.
In my opinion Corsair make a quality lasting product with gamers in mind. Following that my biggest complaint with this keyboard and most Coarsir products, is the use of so much plastic. I own multiple gaming mice, keyboards, and headsets. I find Corsair has the .most products made from plastic than others. If you can overllok that, this is the gaming keyboard for you

Enjoy powerful bass in a minimalistic design using this Sonance cabinet subwoofer. The crossover control offers a clear transition of bass frequencies when connected to your main speakers for smoother bass response, while a ground lift switch eliminates most ground noises to minimize distortion. This Sonance cabinet subwoofer features a textured finish and black cloth grille for added durability.
 
Good for a office or very small room.

I set this up in my main listening are of my family room. I positioned it in the best sounding spot of the room, then ran Auddessy on my Denon avr.
After a hour of tweaking and setting up, this small 10" sealed sub was very unimpressive to me. My family room is 21x 14 with vaulted ceilings. I currently have a 7.2.2 setup in this room. I would find this sub to be best suited for smaller rooms, like a office, or a smaller bedroom setup.
I thought this was going to have more impressive output, but I was definitely disapointed. I currently have it setup in my my master bedroom in a corner nook, with my current 5.1 setup. It sounds ok, but not thunderous. It has about the same output as my old ported 10" Polk sub.
I love sonace speakers, and have other outdoor and in wall/in ceiling speakers by them. But, this sub wasnt what I was expecting. For me there are much better subs for the same amount of money, that perform much better.

Hooked this up to my 55" Hisense 4ktv, the sound is really good as well as the bass response.
Install was easy using the included brackets for the soundbar, pair the sub to it and your ready for tv or movies. I use PS Vue to stream tv, mainly for watching baseball. The sound is really crisp and punchy compared to the built in 4 speakers in the tv set. Bass response is big and boomy with the little sub. Its suprising how much a little sub adds to the experience.
I reccomend this soundbar setup to anyone looking for better sound, and not wanting to drop a fortune on one.

Ive been wanting to get my hands on one of these air fryers for a while now. Finally had the opportunity and glad I did.
The pressure cooker works like a dream, so much so a man can easily use this. Simply toss 3 lbs of frozen chicken wings in the basket, add a 1/2 cup water, put on the pressure cooker lid, set it and forget it.
I was surprised to air fry 3lb of wings only 2 tblsppons of oil is used. Plus the combo works great, with hardly any mess compared to a conventional fryer Ive used at home in the past. Even my wife commented how nice this new Ninja combo is. Cant wait to dehydrate some meat to make homade jerky with this.
My only complaint is I wish the air fryer lid detached when using the pressure cooker.
