At every turn, can’t help but endorse the Vitamix brand, especially since my 5200 blender has been doing daily heavy lifts in my kitchen for over 30 years.
Yet another testament to the durability of their product line, I still have their long discontinued VitaVac, a beast of a vacuum cleaner that will outlive me.
Back to 2020, Vitamix has delivered another level of convenience with its version of a stick blender.
For blends of soups, sauces, hummus, guacamole, salad dressings and single serve smoothies or fruit bowls, I find cleanup faster than with the 5200 blender’s large carafe.
I just add water to the used container, add 1-2 drops of liquid detergent, bring the blender up to level 3 or more of its 5 speeds.
In seconds, the container AND the wand are clean!
For storage, the base gets a quick wipe then one twist separates the wand from the base.
No clean up required of a full sized blender’s rubber top, plunger, rubber platform with its creases and crevices and those of its large carafe.
So, even on a hectic day, the immersion blending option doesn’t leave me with the attention to detail required by my full sized blender, resulting in the pressure of a time consuming cleanup before I leave or after returning home.
For my first try, at 625 watts (less than half the watts of my countertop blender), just a little extra run time turned ice, kale, hard chunks of ginger, a few layers of frozen fruit, drops of stevia, and almond milk into a smoothie that competes with the big machine.
So, for boats and RVs, this would be the lighter, more space and energy efficient tool to satisfy a smoothie habit while making fast work of other small and large recipes.
Attachments are forthcoming. I suspect, as well, the Immersion Blender will soon be posted for buyers to receive purchase points at the www.Vitamix.com/rewards program.
In my book, a cordless version of this stick blender would be much appreciated; but, only if a lithium battery can make the unit lighter to maintain one-handed ease. Otherwise, cord length is not stingy, affording a good range of mobility.
Great tool for the foodie!

QUIP: Good Point of Entry to Electric

For years, I have used brushes by either Sonicare or Oral B; so, my teeth and gums crave a high-powered rotation as well as medium bristle in a brush head.
The QUIP is best suited as a first point of entry to the world of electric toothbrushes for those who like a soft bristle and/or light vibrational toothbrushing experience.
But, if you travel and seek a super lightweight toothbrush and don't mind a near manual brushing action for a limited time while traveling, the QUIP is a perfect match.
My black QUIP is a pleasure to look at, stores easily in its slim travel case and is designed to stand upright without support. An adhesive strip down its side affords a convenient means to store the brush on a wall for drying or to reduce countertop clutter.
Features that promote hygiene:
*a brush head that can be removed to clean the toothpaste gunk that builds on its mount
*an adhesive strip that can be cleaned
*a travel storage case that acts as a dust cover for the brush when stored upright for drying

To prevent microbial growth, I spray H202 on my brush head after each use.
The QUIP APP connects the toothbrush to your smartphone via Bluetooth to track usage in tandem with Rewards Points that motivates compliance to 2-minute brushing sessions, 2x per day.
This is a really useful feature for parents trying to keep children on a daily brushing schedule.
This is a really useful feature for parents trying to keep children on a daily brushing schedule.
The APP also serves up a subscription brush head and toothpaste replacement program that takes that chore off your plate if life is so hectic that those details get lost.
The QUIP APP didn't connect to my phone; so, after 3 days, still waiting for an email reply from customer service.
The company announced that the download for ANDROID would be available this fall.
Maybe my ANDROID related question will be answered when the APP is released. Noticed that companies large and small during Covid have been slow to respond.

This AfterSHOKZ headset really is a higher logic for minimalist audio head gear.

The earbuds are NOT meant to sink into your ear canals.
Buds tethered by a structured titanium curve sit at the top of your cheekbones.
These buds remain securely in place even during the extreme jostle of running, biking or whatever your favorite high intensity torture.
As compared to the in-ear design we've come to expect, this new cheekbone position affords the user a more hygienic solution i.e. no longer the worry about cleansing buds after repeated exposure to the microbial terrains of shedding skin and ear wax.
Even competitor buds that claimed "electronic cleansing while charging" left me uneasy about the consequences of repeated rubbing of synthetic coatings on the fragile skin of my ear canal.
Moreover, I can wear AfterSHOKZ for long periods without getting a sense of fatigue and the vague itchiness experienced with untethered buds.

Be careful when booting up for the first time. The volume was up so high that I got the full impact of the unit's boom box range for listening to music, podcasts, etc
One proposed revision is a lower top end to the volume as protection to the wearer from inadvertent damage to the ear drums.
New to me is the magnetized end of the charging cord so making the connection is 'next gen' hassle free.
Controls are user friendly and governed by 'Audrey Says' voice prompts.
As well, though the unit is structured with rugged titanium, nice touch is the black zippered case for unit protection, storage, and ease of transport.
When I seated my Trekkie unit back into a felt-lined case with fitted molding, felt duly served with optimal gear protection.
While trying to repack the unit, I did have an insecure moment. Thought to myself: Geez! I got the unit out of this box, now how do I get it back in.
I finally fit all those curves back into the case when I "crossed left side over right" at the buds' ends.
2 hr charge time gets you 8 hr run time with a promised 10 day standby. I have yet to test that limit, especially since range anxiety usually drives me to keep my electronics charged up.
Another promise is submersion tolerance at 1 meter up to 30 minutes.
Hold this thought, the manual specifically warns not to charge the unit until thoroughly dry if exposed to sweat or moisture.

As an early adapter of this new spin on mainstream earbud tech, my take is that you can buy this unit with confidence. Unique and smart design is a solid value for the price point. Great match for the Tesla!
BTW, the manual needs a darker and taller font to improve legibility. But, this packaging issues has become a cost saving norm across all categories.

(click to see full-size image)
The NINJA XL PRO R&D engineers went 'all out' to one up the competition with the number of cooking capabilities integrated into one very handsome stainless-steel appliance.
Arriving in near impenetrable packaging, the machine might require a second set of hands to maneuver onto the kitchen counter for those, at any age, who are not super fit.
Initially I was impressed by the very sleek design that would raise the style quotient of any kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. (All black may be another option.)
What first struck me as a footprint too large for my counter, I wondered if my measurements were incorrect. I was relieved to find an easy fit into the same space held by my substantially smaller toaster oven.
Moreover, I was also a tad intimidated by the unit's unique system with all settings built into the door handle. BTW, the finishes of a black plastic molded handle with large, easily cleaned expanses of stainless steel are easily cleaned, sans dirt collecting nooks and crannies.
Turns out my fears were quickly allayed by two very clearly written manuals that proved the system to be extremely logical and user friendly for any who consider themselves "electronics dummies".
As an avid and regular dehydrator, I was sold on the unit by the potential to have that option integrated into a countertop system allowing elimination of a separate multi-tiered dehydrator.
1) I was super pleased with the results achieved with my first trial that dehydrated 2 recipes on 2 levels.
I chose DEHYDRATE from the list of options on the left of the handle.
With two recipes, I pressed Level 2 that indicated what rails to use, guidance that can be adjusted to your liking.
With two recipes, I pressed Level 2 that indicated what rails to use, guidance that can be adjusted to your liking.
I put my flaxseed crust recipe on Level 2 and my cauliflower florets on Level 4, both stuffed or coated with a spicy marinade of chia seed, sesame, ginger, pumpkin seed, a kimchi juice, Coconut Aminos, Braggs Aminos and tahini.
For dehydrating, most important to me was the ability to select a very low temperature setting.
Though I wanted a starting point at 106 degrees, I found adjustments to temperature can only be made in 5-degree increments.
Then found that +/- adjustments to time are calibrated at 15-minute increments, at least so far within the DEHYDRATION Setting.
Then found that +/- adjustments to time are calibrated at 15-minute increments, at least so far within the DEHYDRATION Setting.
Though my temp setting was not available, selecting 105 degrees for a 24 hour period was not a deal breaking compromise because I was more pleased that I was able to find a range of time and temperature settings that preserves the high enzymatic value of raw foods, a fundamental motivation held by foodists vetting appliances for dehydrating.
Another special perk is the on/off button for interior lighting. Not seen in other machines I have experienced is an interior light that turns on as the door opens, affording inspection of cooking progress. Moreover, when the door is opened, the selected setting is not lost; so, no reset is required.
2) I used another third of my cauliflower coated in the marinade then set to AIR FRY.
3) And, finally, the last third of my very large cauliflower was cooked as a solid unbroken spiced half-round in the AIR ROAST mode.(Cauliflower globes and 'steaks' are trending now in restaurants serving eclectic and/or regional American dishes.)
Overall, I was thrilled with the results achieved in all three settings, adjusting expectations to inform future dehydrating and other settings on the Pro XL learning curve.
For best results when using 2 level dehydrating, it may be smart to have recipes of similar contents or just expect to make time/temperature adjustments to bring to fruition intended outcomes in doneness and texture.
No getting away from having to monitor the variables when cooking anything. The manuals give us ballpark guidelines but vigilance is required when trying to suit one's own peculiar taste.
An overview of results follows:
I did achieve the crunch and flavor profile sought for the dehydrated flaxseed crust.
Dehydrating cauliflower florets resulted in great shrinkage of volume but, nonetheless, tasty results. The small and malleable rounds were great on my salad.
Dehydration outcomes depend on the nature of the fruit, vegetable, fish, fowl, or meat. Tolerance for an endless experiment is required but the rewards are great when you discover how to manage the variables to get the results you want. Moreover, dehydrating is another tool to achieve food independence.
Savored as much as the flaxseed crust, AIR ROASTED cauliflower was another perfect outcome. I really enjoyed the larger florets that were juicy while affording more defined flavors of the marinade as compared to the dehydrated results.
And, the AIR ROAST Setting for the globe of cauliflower delivered a perfectly golden tahini crusted outcome with a surprising depth of flavor. I had to restrain myself from taking more than the test bite. The globe didn't need the AIR FRY Setting to get a crispy finish as expected.
Additional NOTES:
Settings are calibrated to PREHEAT in compressed time, unlike competitors.
When cooking cycles end, the unit shuts down and a buzzer sounds, a greatly appreciated perk since my old dehydrator has no timer or automatic shutdown.
The manual recommends that the splash screen at the back of the unit be cleaned after each use.
After engaging the unit on Dehydration for over 20 hours for a degree range from 105-115, questions emerged about energy efficiency.
As a consumer concerned about reducing energy consumption, a chart that affords a list of kilowatt's consumed by each Setting indicated on the panel as related to Energy Star parameters might be a useful addendum to the manual. Apologies if I missed those previously defined line items.
To reduce carbon footprint, one notion is that NINJA establish a post-consumer waste program for their expanding list of appliances.
And/or to increase market visibility as a leader in our push back against global warming, the company could lobby for legislation that asks all food industry manufacturers, marketers, and packagers to follow their lead.

This OSTER Countertop Oven is a super user friendly multi-tasker!
My oven failed and I had a 6lb chicken that needed to be cooked immediately or become garbage if left another day. Since I couldn’t fire up the large oven, I took the Oster promise seriously that the unit can thoroughly cook a whole chicken to the core without cutting and without drying out.
Really way too late in the evening, I stuffed garlic, rosemary, thyme under the skin of the carcass then, inside and out, I rubbed the chicken with the spice blend. So, the fats would drop into the tray, I sat it on the footed wire rack.
To roast, my initial guidance on temperature and time came from the wrapping. So, I started using the BAKE option at 350 degrees then realized that I needed to compress the cooking time because for 6 lbs @ 20 minutes per pound the chicken required over 1.5 hrs to cook.

Since the OSTER manual states that its CONVECTION setting cuts cooking time by 30%, I decided to switch settings mid-stream. I also wanted to get a golden hue; so, I coated the skin with Manuka honey and took my chances with a reboot, especially since 9p was upon me and my guy was not satisfied with salad for dinner and was anxiously awaiting the outcome.
Thankfully, the CONVECTION ramped up the heat and got the chicken’s plastic thermometer to pop within minutes, indicating internal temp reached for properly DONE!
In spite of my wildcard pivot, the outcome was a golden brown skin with a super juicy and tender interior. The visual inspired involuntary mouthwatering, rivalling the hot case roasts at Whole Foods.
First, second and third bites confirmed we had a winner better than store bought, even without the recommended ‘rest time’. (The impatient meat eater would not be restrained.)
With a large cut of meat, not sure why I would choose to roast via the BAKE setting in the future. To get large meats and poultry cooked in less time, I will choose CONVECTION in the future to reduce cook time by 30% as promised.
When not pressed for time, BAKE may be best for those doing meats, poultry, fish, breads, brownies, etc (I will never have that basis for comparison since those flour based items are now out of my glycemic wheel house.)
For a side to the ‘roasted’ chicken, I cajun-spiced a mess of white sweet potato wedges with less than a teaspoon of grapeseed oil.
The OSTER affords a large flat tray so minimal (if any) turning is required unlike the bin design of my old air fryer design that requires turning to get an even crisp.
In 20 minutes at the AIR FRY setting, I had a perfect batch.
The AIR FRY setting has made me a devotee of the char grilled or roasted flavor profile bestowed upon the lowly vegetable.
Now home cooks can without muss and fuss achieve the results of a restaurant’s open hearth without the high cost of dining out and, now during Covid, without the risk of dining out.

To eliminate diabetes and lose weight, I had forsaken frying years ago but now I am thrilled to get a crunchy texture and/or high savory hit on the palate without ruining weight loss success.
Though steamed and sauteed veggies are great, AIR FRY tech puts quick’n easy “decadent” into the gastronomic equation.

Next day, another challenge eliminated time for a relaxed chicken stuffed frittata. Instead, we did the TOAST setting for cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread sandwiches with crunchy almond butter, sliced banana, TJs berry jam, shaved coconut and cocoa nibs.
For dinner, a Barramundi steak got the BROIL setting: sliced onions, garlic, fresh dill, chopped ginger and a squirt of lemon for 7 minutes on the footed rack without a turn, affording a perfect center piece for mounded garlicky asparagus with shaved pecorino done to crunchy on AIR FRY @ 6 minutes.
So, rave reviews for all settings: BAKE, CONVECTION, AIR FRY, TOAST and BROIL.
Set across the top of a stylish stainless steel unit are three easy-to-read and easy-to-turn knobs: SETTINGS, TEMPERATURE (up to 450 degrees) and TIME. As noted in the manual, remember to turn the timer past 20 minutes then turn back to any time desired less than 20 minutes.
The crumb tray slides out without resistance for a quick clean up.
Two rails provide a variety of heights for a collection of three racks to satisfy a multitude of cooking intentions.

When it comes to delivering an unblemished machine, Crock Pot does not skimp on packaging. Dense insulation and a rugged box made for near indestructible protection from shipping impacts for what must be a complicated network of digital tech.
The list of 14 food prep options makes this machine a multi tasking work horse...from manual pressure, air fry/crisp, simmer, saute, brown/sear to steam, slow cook, soup/broth, dessert, poultry, yogurt, rice/grains, beans/chili, meat/stew, saute and simmer.
My interest was initiated by my very demanding goat, sheep and coconut yogurt habit. Store bought is very expensive at ~ Trader Joe’s Goat @$5.49/32oz to Culina’s Coconut Yogurt @ $4.99/5oz.
The machine was a promising solution then I realized that I did not thoroughly vet the container that holds the food. The container looks like it may be Teflon coated; but, turns out that it’s not. If you search ‘risks and dangers’ of Teflon you will find that PFOA's leaching into hot food or any food is carcinogenic.
And, as a holistic practitioner, I am super vigilant about protecting the body from hormone disrupting toxins, one source for so many health challenges among many others that consumers think are due to aging only.

Thankfully, my concerns were addressed by the manufacturer in response to inquiries by consumers, giving me the freedom to pursue my cooking intentions without restraint.
See the following feedback from the Crock-Pot Manufacturer:
See the following feedback from the Crock-Pot Manufacturer:
“The Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi-Cooker uses a non-stick coating that is NOT Dupont Teflon. Our non-stick coating is safe when used for cooking. In addition, our products are designed to reach maximum temperatures well within limits that causes the non-stick coating to release fumes.”
Since research undermined my window to start the yogurt project, I used the AIR FRY/CRISP function for a veggie blend of parsnips, heirloom carrots, onions and celery. Super quick and easy to just slice, spice and jostle veggies in a tablespoon of grapeseed oil (all compatible with my blood type A).
To coat foods with spice, I used a capped container but in the past I have used plastic locking bags that leach minimal amounts of plastic at room temperature. (Good idea to daily detox those exposures to prevent bioaccumulation over time.)
Next install the rack into the food bin in the position that affords the amount of clearance from the underside of the AIR FRYER top (a separate unit from the PRESSURE COOKER top) required super sized or small to medium sized serving then press the AIR FRY button.
The AIR FRYER Setting automatically indicates that the timer has been set to 15 minutes on HIGH; so, just press START.
At the end of the AIR FRY cycle, just lift the lid to taste test that the veggies are your preferred texture. If not, then just put the AIR FRY top back on the machine for another round and press the START/START button for another 15 minute round. I needed an additional 15 minutes to satisfy my palate.
At any time, the STOP/START button can be pushed to interrupt the cycle to taste test OR the manual settings plus or minus can be used to tailor cooking time to your preference.
One note for future designs is that the integration of a small window to view crisping progress would be a convenient feature; but, that option might be a mechanical engineering feat only a good idea if cost of product stays within mainstream consumer tolerance.
Nonetheless, I was thrilled with the outcome!
I liken the flavor profile to that of grilled or roasted veggies, my favorite but super fast with easy clean up.

I proceeded to AIR FRY pumpkin spice, tarragon and garlic tossed sliced white sweet potatoes with “grilled onions”.
Next day, I followed up with the SAUTE Setting for a chunky cut butternut squash, celery and onions in a splash of pineapple juice coated with French Fines. Again, fast and furiously delicious!
This tool covers lots of bases. Whether you have a full-blown kitchen or especially if you are in a dorm room or a tiny house, single or filled with family, you can put a chef’s spin on a multitude of recipes.
An extensive recipe book is included with a handy chart indicating the lid required, CRISPER or PRESSURE COOKER, for each application.
You might not need another appliance unless you are trying to do a variety of dishes simultaneously and just need an appliance to keep previously cooked items warm.
One last point, consider the machine’s dimensions before purchase to be certain the required storage space is available.

Though I had my reservations about switching from wired buds to wireless, especially because of my concern about losing one or the other bud during outdoor jogs, I find these buds have a snug fit that allow the wearer to lose that worry. So, don’t be ‘scurred’!!!
Right out the box, the bud tips were the correct fit and connected to my Chromebook’s Bluetooth without any search and set up toggling.
In a hurry to stay on track with a new early-to-bed routine, I jumped right onto my trampoline.
In a hurry to stay on track with a new early-to-bed routine, I jumped right onto my trampoline.
Got NOT ONE inkling of insecurity that a bud was slipping at any time during a dynamic and rigorous bouncing routine. (For those who don’t get the perfect fit at first bite, there are a variety of tips, especially good when one orifice is larger than the other.)
Another plus for athletes, gardeners and other outdoor enthusiasts, the buds’ have IPX4 H20 and sweat resistance as well as, with a minimum 10 minute charge, a UV light that destroys harmful microbial terrains, eliminating a tiresome cleaning chore from the list.
As compared to earbud competitors previously experienced, the sound clarity has a distinctly higher level of tonal depth.
These buds have telepathic recognition of body contact because they broadcast content when installed in your ear and stop when removed.
Moreover, I noticed the range of reception beats out my old units by a wide margin. When I inadvertently left my phone running a webinar in the bedroom, after moving three floors down into the laundry room, I was stunned that I had no distortion over such a long distance.
I was also surprised to find an AMBIENT NOISE option that affords the user a noise cancelling perk that I had only previously seen in the large earmuff headsets. What was once a $300-600/unit feature is now tech that fits into your palm affording ability “to control the amount of sound you can hear around you” as described in the Manual.
Since the AMBIENT NOISE perk uses more battery charge, depending on usage, the battery can give you 6-18 hours of use. And, a 5 min charge can deliver 60 min of play time.
In addition to remote access to your AMBIENT NOISE feature, the TONE FREE App for Androids 5.0 and higher has a host of SETTINGS for the SOUND EQUALIZER, a SMS, MMS, SNS MESSAGE READER, a FIND MY BUDS TOOL and, most importantly, the TOUCHPAD functions.
My only difficulty was with the TOUCHPAD which I found wasn’t as intuitive as expected, especially since my touch was initially too heavy and ham-handed for the sensitive receptors.
To get it right, I revisited the manual on the App, conveniently more legible on the phone than in the printed tutorial, to learn the pattern for adjusting the volume, receiving calls. ambient noise control, and playback options for listening to music.
But, once coordinated with the unit’s settings, the App affords access to customize a pattern of commands that suits anyone’s peculiar logic. So far, I have not yet been compelled to change the original TOUCHPAD settings, only compelled to lighten up my touch to manage nano tech.
On connecting, OGMs from the App deliver status reports i.e. remaining charge on each bud, etc
Another loss prevention perk is that the buds magnetized to link up for a larger visual footprint when you rest them on a surface.
Though not only does the round, compact and rugged charging case pack easily for travel, at the store, the unit is kitted in a sturdy but elegant cube that makes for a “big bang in a small package”, a gift worthy of its ~ $149 price point.
For a quick start, the buds came fully charged in the case. A convenient exterior pin light display indicates low to high level of remaining charge, tiered in three different colors.
Nonetheless, the language on the box indicates “Wireless Charging Case”, a statement that can be misconstrued. I could be wrong, but the buyer might think the box contains not only earbuds but also a Wireless Charging Platform.
So, if other consumers concur, a request to the marketing team is to revise the text so the consumer does not get misled by ambiguous sales copy.
If future editions are designed, please also consider fluorescent or brightly colored options to ease locating the earbuds and case when in dark places like luggage or handbags.
Overall, I am smitten over the BOMB SHELL BUDS packed with sophisticated microtech.
I would recommend this to a friend!

LG - CordZero Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum - Matte Gray
Just finished giving my floors and furniture their deep cleaning massage.
There’s lots to like about the LG CordZero but with a few caveats, especially since I have a basis for comparison over a long history with cordless vacs.
No denying…cordless equals freedom to move without hindrance.
What’s difficult about this model is that when you need both hands to move objects, the design doesn’t afford the user a means to lock the vac in an upright position.
Since the motor and the dust bin is located at the handheld top end, the user must be careful to lean the unit against a secure location or lay the unit on the floor.
If a focus group was conducted during the design process, not sure how that feedback didn’t register with R+D.
On the other hand, lots of versatility comes with having the many attachments to address carpet, bare floors, crevices, upholstery that you don’t get with the Shark Navigator or that you don’t expect with the robotic vacs like the Deebot, Roomba, Eufy, etc…only good for flat terrains.
And, since most cordless models provide up to 20 minutes on a single battery, the luxury of up to 80 minutes via 2 lithium batteries may be worth the $699 (more or less) to some.
Must bear in mind, I spent less on my electric lawn mower with four 40V batteries that I can inadvertently bump into trees and fences, turn upside down on a hill and not worry about damage; but, I wouldn’t want to expose the top heavy but very powerful LG motor and plastic dust bin housing to multiple crashes to any floor.
So, not really confident about the design’s impact resistance from the height of its longest wand in a crash 3-4ft down to ceramic, marble tile or even a carpeted floor. Not sure which will crack first over time.
That said, a variety of gripping positions allow me to direct the carpet attachment that flails somewhat when using the longest extension.
Nonetheless, for the high amount of suction delivered, the unit is super lightweight and grips like a gun with a top mounted and easily accessed trigger.
I like using the Turbo level of suction; but I now understand the six-minute time limit on its highest level doesn’t mean the battery is exhausted. Apologies if wrong but seems the time limit on the highest level of suction may be about heat management of the motor because when six minutes is done, I can continue to vacuum on the lower levels; or, maybe the operation time is reduced on other levels as well. That item was not addressed clearly in the paper manual or the very handy laminated manual that sports a small suction cup for mounting to the fridge or similar surface.
Thankfully, when the attachments are connected without the long extension, I got an exceptional sense of control and balance when running the brush head over furniture or when on hands and knees cleaning carpeted stairs.
One major winning feature is that the shorter hook ups and cordless design are an incredible relief for cleaning my cars and truck! And, thankfully, no replacement bag is required when the bottom of the small but handy dust bin pops open to release the dirt.
Though filtration system is excellent, future replacement filters are a consideration. Excellent 10 yr warranty on the :Suction Motor" but
1 year warranty on "Workmanship Labor". Good idea to read the fine print.
The unit and a couple of attachments can be stored in an upright position. But, my chair rails don’t allow for wall mount storage.
BTW, if you are watching cost of electricity, be vigilant. Unplug when fully charged (2 batteries @ 6 hours when fully exhausted) since that constant charging mode in addition to all the other energy demands will blow up the monthly bill.

GoPRO MAX 4 Optimal Game

Finally got the message! When interested in pricey tech, best course of action is to download their App before purchase.
After signing on to the GoPRO Max App, I got a real education about the approximately 19 permutations of GoPRO since the ORIGINAL. Even KARMA, the GoPRO Drone was an unexpected option.
If I had done due diligence with the GoPro App, I may have been able to establish a more optimal fit before sinking dollars into unfamiliar territory. As a holistic practitioner, my intention was tp find gear suitable for vlogging action steps for my detox protocols.
Seemed, at first, that I got more capability than needed; but, the App broadened my perspective on the potentials in my work for sharing green perspectives on every aspect of my experience.
From self-care driven hiking, biking, swimming and all other 'communes with nature' to the more intimate personal work of yoga, percussion massage, smoothie design and dowsing nutritional dosages, the App helped me envision potentials that I may or may not have enough time in my life to record then post.
From self-care driven hiking, biking, swimming and all other 'communes with nature' to the more intimate personal work of yoga, percussion massage, smoothie design and dowsing nutritional dosages, the App helped me envision potentials that I may or may not have enough time in my life to record then post.
Nonetheless, even though the gear was not the mistake I initially thought, good idea to browse options at the App such as the following:
*Be clear about what's in the box. Realized to accomplish a comprehensive first purchase, the GoPRO ACCESSORIES Department is a big help in defining how you want to mount your GoPRO on the move i.e. via a helmet top mount or side mount; on your wrist by mount or lanyard, on your chest, on a tripod and so on.
Even a 'floaty' is available to keep the unit buoyant for tracking while sporting water.
FYI, the unit is waterproof down to 16ft and lense protection and related protective housing I found hidden beneath my awareness in ACCESSORIES.
FYI, the unit is waterproof down to 16ft and lense protection and related protective housing I found hidden beneath my awareness in ACCESSORIES.
A helmet mount came with my kit, not the best option for my application. A regret that will always remind me to first 'See the App!'
But, I will work with the mistake for a while as I get familiar with the unit's capability then consider what might be the most appropriate mounts to capture my 'share mode' while on bikes, hikes or in the kitchen.
Really breathing a sigh of relief that I found a SMARTREE Adapter that allows me to mount my GoPRO on a TARGUS tripod (that grips everything) previously purchased for a not so handy KODAK Play Sport.
For a future tech purchase of this sort, I was again reminded to slow down and preemptively analyze proprietary product limitations in relationship to what's already in house. This time no mistake, just lucky...no extra purchase necessary.
With first taping session, at my rate of usage, a BATTERY CHARGER and/or a second battery would've been another smart addition to my start up kit.
Also, found at the GoPRO App:
*A COMPARISON CHART of all GoPRO's that would've refined my decision making
*A CLEARANCE and REFURBISH Department to find the sweet spot for a shopper's GoPRO point of entry
*A TRADE-IN PROGRAM so you don't have to feel stuck with a unit that's not the right fit or run its course. Even a $100 OFF Deal with Trade-In for the HERO Black was hiding in the App.
*PROMOTIONAL OFFERS shoulda known before purchase but know now about the $50 OFF BONUS with purchase of the HERO Black Bundle including Camera Battery, Head Strap for side mount, a Grip Extension and SD Card.
*VIDEO OF USERS, COMMUNITY USERS to inspire creative footage but too much competition for me to enter to win a SHARE of a MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE, 'share' being operative black box for GoPRO to know and participants to find out how dinero will be divied up.
*Definitely got sucked in to the 'Too Good To Be True' dream that
1) 'If the unit gets broken, a replacement is issue no questions asked'
2) Cloud Storage is Unlimited
3) 50% OFF all Accessories
The truth is that WITH A SUBSCRIPTION RATE @ $4.99/mth or Annual @ $4.17/mth, we get the aforementioned royal treatment; but, in retrospect, an insurance plan more reasonable than Asurion's for your cell phone.

PROCESS Notes:

Pairing the unit to my phone was easy; but, maintaining the connection was troublesome.
To the rescue is the goPRO App that addresses every potential headache the buyer might face in simple step by step instructions.
In my case, I had to set my unit to 2.4 GHz then reboot to clear any glitches created by the FIRMWARE download...up'n runnin' thereafter.
Toggling through all features on the touch screen will take practice, especially for the ham handed; but, impressed with the litany of variables i.e. color/ speed/ ISO / sharpness/ brightness/ field of view/ shortcuts/ resolution 1080 v 1440/ wide angle 13-27 mm options/ 270 panoramic mode/ 360 psychedelic mode / keep your phone unlocked/ back + front lense toggle/ live streaming capable w/App/ time lapse video/ time lapse photo/ horizon leveling in video + pano mode/ ...
Looking forward to the audio that filters out wind interference on roller blades.
Not yet located Slo Mo but will browse reviews to select best editorial app for PC, either the QUIK DESKTOP or GoPRO MAX DESKTOP with expectations of even more storytelling tools.
VOICE COMMAND allows freedom from % of the toggle zone.
Seems pretty much every question that might emerge, saves the call to support via the App +/or online.
Though their Trouble Shooter exhibits years of problem solving depth, their invitation to call support for any and every glitch has a ring of sincerity.
Will report if not the case. ;^}

Finding THERAGUN is like striking gold!
Somehow the designers figured out how to drive 2400 rpms in a cordless unit that puts the competition on its heels.
For the less rugged or more tender areas, 1750 rpms is the stepped down setting.
Somehow the designers figured out how to drive 2400 rpms in a cordless unit that puts the competition on its heels.
For the less rugged or more tender areas, 1750 rpms is the stepped down setting.
I got hooked on percussive massage years ago when I started with the corded Sharper Image THUMPER. Since I do percussion massage within a daily meditation, yoga, etc routine, I put a lot of miles on a body work machine; so, I had been on the lookout for an option with muscle penetration comparable to the THUMPER with a decent warranty.
So when the engine burned out of my second THUMPER, I settled on BROOKSTONE's corded model as an interim solution, especially when their cordless model proved lackluster.
Then comes THERAGUN offering CORDLESS models from $250 to $599.with triple the force of older generataions. As expected, the highest price point is the most accessorized; but, nonetheless, great for anyone at any level.
The Pro is specially tooled for the seasoned or amateur athlete who trains for health and fitness as well as the professional athlete who may require more intensely therapeutic pre- and post- workout sessions.
Without a partner or practitioner, you do need a level of muscularity, dexterity and creativity to maneuver the almost 3 lb device. The different grips, adjustable gunner affords easiest access to the front side while lying down, sitting or standing. Reaching the back and shoulders requires experimentation to find best gripping configurations.
For instance lying down on my back and after loosening up my spine with a rolling motion, I curl my legs up to my chest or hold them straight up to easily reach feet, calves, backs of thighs, buttocks and hips.
BTW, I didn't see the following suggestion in the manual; but, when gripping the pole that holds the hammering mechanism as secondary to the grip of the triangle, increased stability and ease can be achieved in adjusting pressure and angle while guiding the head to various target points.for front, the back and shoulders.

Whether you are a practitioner or a 'civilian', the Pro offers 6 accessory heads that can be easily popped off and back on to switch between options. Favorite, so far, has been the Wedge to achieve a multitude of depths at different angles.
.
As well, switching between the two levels of rpms (1750 to 2400) is an easy adjustment at the power switch to accommodate varying tolerances.

If you like the convenience and cost efficiency of home based massage, this machine could make the LMTs nervous but best to stay calm because our growing and consuming populations will always require human touch in the final analysis.
So, though the investment is high end, the machine is top shelf and worthy of, at the very least, exploration by the consumer to establish a basis for comparison to the lesser newcomers to the field.
Download the THERAGUN App to locate nearby dealers to demo in person all of the brand's options and respective price points to make an informed decision.
Thankfully, the APP offers a legible tour of the FAQs, financing options, easy online 2 yr warranty registration, a pictorial guide with action steps to address a variety of issues and conditions.
Be sure to browse all pages because there are precautionary tips such as refrain from using the device on your head and neck, something I needed to hear because I have to default to my old, lighter device to avoid getting my hair tangled in the percussive motion of the Pro .
Also, without APP tips on how to extend the life of the batteries AND the charger, I would not get the full value from my device.
Unlike in other similar purchases, I also learned that THERAGUN and each of its attachments holds a specific warranty duration.
So, read or later regret that you hadn't.
So, read or later regret that you hadn't.
BTW, the packaging is richly rugged and appointed beyond expectation!
Comes with travel case, a charger for TWO Samsung lithium ion batteries, affording a quick rotation when/if more than a 75 min session is required.
Cordless tech affords the freedom and flexibility l like in my lawnmower, my vacuum cleaners and now, with relief, in my percussive massager...and, hopefully, in an EV.
For best results, use percussive massagers as tools that mobilize the body's circulation to 'take out the trash'. In other words, daily metabolic cellular activity creates waste product, athletic activity creates higher levels of interstitial inflammation and, moreover, detox protocols targeting heavy metals, chemicals, harmful microbes and PTSD, all create catarrh seeking release.
Adjust your expectations to recognize that for optimal results, increased levels of body/mind work and nutrition are required to assist with the release of inflammation and the source of specific health challenges. Don't leave any stone unturned in the exploration of the multitude of homeopathics, botanicals, sarcodes, nosodes, minerals, flower essences, and their respective bioenergetic protocols to eliminate the culprits that drive a particular health challenge.
But, like acupuncture and other body work tools, percussive massage is an essential but complementary tool for daily detox, pain management and the mitigation of premature aging.
With rising industrial wastes in our food, air and water complicated by BigPharm and RecreationalPharm, our health issues are increasingly complicated and poly-systemic, requiring far more than a
'silver bullet approach'.
'silver bullet approach'.
THERAGUN can assist the body within a comprehensive plan for stress management as well as the restoration and maintenance of optimal metabolic balance.
While moving toxins into drainage pathways that are the lymphatic system, the lungs, the GI tract, the skin, do not suppress the expression of toxic waste from your tissues.
Instead, celebrate when you cough up gunk and have increased bowel and renal activity. You are doing the right thing when you lighten the load on your immune system.
I can frankly say THERAGUN PRO was my wisest choice of all options when I released more today than yesterday as compared to using my old, vastly less rigorous device.
I would recommend this to a friend!

How long should the motor last? After cleaning my bottom row, the motor loses power. ♿
Sounds odd that your battery is not holding a charge long enough to finish a brushing. I would call Customer Service. You might need a new unit. The battery cannot be changed by the owner.

I always put warm water in the part for flossing but the water feels very cold when it goes into my mouth. Does anyone else have that problem?
Since my water ionizing filter requires cool water, I have to put my acid water in my hot shot for a little warm up before pouring the water into the WATERPIK carafe. Like you, my teeth are sensitive to cold.

Printer with General Error 0x61011 beb
I am not going to send this printer to be repaired, and would like to turn it in to whomever that takes them. Does Best Buy do this? I also have three cartridges (940) for which they are still in the original packaging.
Take it back to the Best Buy Customer Service asap. Bring your receipt. There is a 14 day policy for returns; but, revisit the parameters on your receipt.
