Multigroom Series 7400 Wet/Dry Trimmer with 3 Guide Combs
Keep unwanted hair to a minimum with this Philips grooming tool. The waterproof design lets you use it in the shower, and eight attachments make this trimmer perfect for grooming different sections of the face. This Philips grooming tool has a turbo setting to increase cutting speed, and it charges in just one hour to reduce wait time.
Decent Trimmer
Customer Rating

This trimmer does a decent enough job, but it has some quirks. The first issue I have with it is the power button- when using this trimmer it turns off frequently because the power button is too touchy. The second issue with the trimmer is that it seems underpowered even with the turbo setting so it takes longer to trim my beard than it did with my previous 30 dollar trimmer. Not saying this trimmer is totally useless but for $70 I'd expect better.

I bought this camera as a Mother's Day gift. My mom likes taking a lot of pictures- to the point where all of the storage on her phone was taken by all of her pics. My mom is also getting a little bit older so her fingers don't work like they used to, and I noticed she struggles a bit trying to hold onto her phone while she's using it to take pics. She's dropped phones lots of times and broken a few of them (also dropped one in a lake). I thought this camera would be good for her because the pics she takes won't fill up fill her phone's storage and it's easier for her to handle than a phone. Every time I see her she says her phone isn't working right and it's always because she has filled it's storage to capacity. This camera is also shock proof and waterproof which is something she needs.
My mom was very happy to get this camera. She said she missed using a camera instead of a phone because cameras are easier to operate. If the memory on the camera fills up, I can just sync it to a pc for her or she can get a new sd card which is pretty cheap.

I wanted this range extender so I could have a good wifi signal in my backyard. I have a big backyard that I would like spend more time in. I do a lot of work on a desktop computer inside my house because I need a good internet connection to be able to look stuff up for that work. What I wanted to be able to do was to take a laptop outside into my beautiful backyard and do some of that work out there. Before I got this range extender I couldn't work outside because I didn't have a good wifi connection out there especially where I like to sit, which is on the very back edge of the yard (80-100ft from the house). I've tried other extenders and just couldn't get a good reliable connection back there, so I wanted this one(RE-7000). It's a little more pricey than any other extender I've ever seen-costs more than most routers, but I had high hopes that this would get me a good signal all the way back there and it has. I like Linksys and Cisco products- they are the networking industry standard and they always work like they're supposed to, so it's worth the extra money to me. I'm very happy with this product.

Linksys - AC5400 Tri-Band WiFi 5 Router
Your household is busy streaming media, working online, and playing games every day. This Linksys Wi-Fi Router will expand your network coverage, send signals directly to your devices, and deliver a lag-free connection, even when you’re all online at the same time.

Customer Rating

Upgraded from a Linksys E3000 which was a pretty good router with some quirks. I live in a large house (3600sq ft-3 floors) with 3 roommates and have about 30 or so devices hooked to my network at any given time. Can have upwards of 50 devices on the network at times when people visit. E3000 had problems with handling a lot of traffic at times and with bad reception in parts of the house-had to incorporate some powerline networking and range extenders in some rooms. This Linksys EA9500 is not having these problems. Seems to have good reception throughout the whole house. I have a 150 mbps cable internet connection that did pretty well with the old router, but the new router seems to be using the bandwidth better. We have multiple compters and laptops, a few gaming consoles, printers , cell phones, and 5 TVs- 2 of which are 4k TVs. With the old router we noticed there could be a fair amount of buffering when we're all streaming video- especially on the 4k video. My roommates and I would all complain about this occasionally. With this new router I haven't seen any buffering at all which is what I had hoped for when I got this router. I've only had it for about a week so I don't know if we've pushed it to it's limit yet, but so far this router has been great - we're all happy with it.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, easy to use
What's not so great: Software updates might be difficult for some
This little gadget makes it very easy to wirelessly transmit what's on my screen from my PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone onto my TV. Most of my devices that I hook up to this are intel widi capable so be careful before you buy this to check that whatever you want to hook up to it is capable of doing it. I use a Samsung smartphone's screen mirroring, an HP laptop with 4th gen. i7 via widi, and a surface pro with a 3rd gen. i5 via widi to hook up to this. I was unable to hook up to this using a Dell touchscreen PC with a 3rd gen. i5 for some reason that I haven't figured out yet. Could be something to do with Dell's network card or my anti-virus on the Dell. Not really a big deal to me because I have plenty of other options. An adapter for non-widi capable pc/laptops is also available through actiontech.
I like this device because I can view pics from my phone on my TV, or I can do Netflix or hulu from my laptop or surface straight to the TV without using wires. It's easier for me to navigate on those sites from the laptop or tablet as opposed to using the smart TV apps or a game console's apps.
All in all I'm very pleased with this device because it does exactly what I wanted it to do. Connecting devices is easy- just make whatever device you're using search for the screenbeam and then you have to enter a code to pair it from the screenbeam device. It's really quite easy. There is a tiny bit of lag that can likely be attributed to wireless transmission of your display data, but it's really pretty minimal. Also I haven't had any issues with signal loss between my devices and the screenbeam device.

Lenovo - IdeaCentre Horizon HT600 Multimode Computer Table - Silver
Compatible with Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon table PCs, this Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon HT600 888015058 table features a tilting surface, so you can use your device in flat table and desktop modes. An air lever lets you adjust the table to a custom height.

What's great about it: Easy to set up
What's not so great: Expensive, expensive, expensive
If you have the horizon, you should consider this table a necessity. It has swiveling wheels for easy movement, a tray for accessories (keyboard mouse, etc.), the height on the table is adjustable, and the table top swivels between horizontal, angled, and vertical.
$300 is a lot of money for an accessory but I think this table has been worth every penny because I like to move my horizon around and I like the way change heights and viewing angles with the table. The only negative thing I have to say about this purchase is that it was expensive.

Good but not great

What's great about it: Easy to use, easy to set up, great features-easy call screening
What's not so great: short battery life, size
This watch is good start considering smart watches are a relatively new concept. It has a lot of good features that make wireless communication easier. The watch makes call screening so much easier because I don't need to pull my phone out of my pocket to see who's calling me anymore, plus if it's somebody I don't want to talk I can reject the call from the watch. This watch is a worthwhile purchase solely for that reason. Other good features are the pedometer because I walk a lot, It displays the weather forecast, it tells you who incoming emails are from, and I can snap a picture quickly and easily with it.
The things that I don't like about it are the short battery life (less than 2 days#, charging cradle #why not mini usb?#, bulky size #big for a wristwatch and is prone to scratch and catch on things), and its' text features aren't that great.
Overall, like I said before, the call screening abilities make this watch a worthwhile purchase. I'm looking forward to the incarnation of the Samsung Watch because I'm hoping the battery lasts longer, that it will be smaller, and that it will have more functionality.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, unique features, has built in battery
What's not so great: Expensive, short battery life, no dice included
Lenovo's Aura interface is what I've always imagined touchscreen computing should be like- very impressed. I have 2 other touchscreen PCs that I barely ever touch the screen on, but I can't seem to keep my hands off the screen on this beast. It's like a giant tablet- still haven't used the included keyboard and mouse yet. The Lenovo games on this are fairly entertaining and reasonably challenging. Really happy with this purchase even though it was a bit spendy. The one big knock on that I have so far is that this version did not have dice included, so I had to buy those separately. Also bought the table that was made to hold this machine and I'm very happy with that purchase too even though it added another $300 to this already expensive endeavor.

What is the wrist band size?
My husband has been wanting one of these watches and I am looking at getting him one for our anniversary. He is a big guy (6'4" and 380lbs) so I am worried that it won't fit his wrist. Does anyone know the size of the band so that I can compare that with his other watches? Thanks!
I believe it's about 7 1/2 inches, so it might not fit.
