So impressed with the design of this little gem: elegant, logically placed functional recesses, the unit is a round, solidly built, little round robot that is really aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Anxious to get through the Quick Start up, I was unable to get to first base with this device. After multiple attempts, the device would not charge. So, I will report back after I see how quickly Warranty Repair affords customer service to this inconvenient start up. Can't give you a fair appraisal since this baby was DOA i.e. dead on arrival.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This NYNE Rebel sound system allows me to optimize my music and FM Radio apps for group levitation or when I need beats to drive a solo workout.
Set up is super easy.
Just charge the unit until each one of the row of indicator lights is lit. Push a button to check the battery level at any time.
No trouble at all for the Bluetooth (BT) speaker to recognize my lap top, tablet or smartphone.
Thankfully, I no longer have to strain to hear streaming media from my laptop.
8-10 hours is a pretty generous range that will vary if the USB port is used to charge another device.

As promised in the specs, so far, this system is universally compatible with all of my platforms.
Sound clarity, in my book, competes with Bose.
The portability indoors to outdoors, at almost 8 pounds, is an easy lift for a big sound.
Another nice feature is that you don’t have to reboot the BT connection between your device and the speaker.
When you turn the system off then turn it back on, device recognition eliminates the scanning task.
Also, when you want to access volume, fast forward or rewind, you can make adjustments from your device or from the speaker controls.

No special attention is required to use the system as a speaker phone.
When a call comes in, the music is put on hold so you can talk then the music or other media restarts when the call is closed.
Disable that feature for privacy.

A nice addition is a cable for a hard wired connection or other configurations if you don’t want to bother with the BT.
Charger plugs are included that satisfy a variety of platforms, eliminating the “incompatible plug-to-outlet bummer” while traveling.

The only thing I would like is an add-on compartment for the charging cord, the plug adapters and the cable.
I zip locked the loose items until I find a more attractive draw string bag to prevent the 'lost accessory headache'.
A short bungie cord might work to keep all items piggybacked to the unit. Must experiment….

At my office, we make coffee every day, all day. So, when our team was gifted an upgrade, we were thrilled with all the bells and whistles. We now run the gamut of our coffee bean dreams.
It took a little effort to sort through everyone’s peculiar tweaks to their favorite grinds + blends; but, the guidelines for the basics and even the more elaborate recipes were surprisingly clear and easy to follow. The machine is pretty intuitive.
You do have to pay attention to the timing. For instance, to start your espresso, wait for the light to go green as your signal to start the process. Don’t think you can start just because you turned on the power button. Pay attention as well for timing on the milk steaming and frothing processes.
The espresso and coffee making functions operate independently but can operate at the same time. The hang of it all comes easier than we expected.
In the event some of us were moving too fast to read, we assigned each person in the office their specialty to learn so they can be the trainer in that category for all others as time allows.
We loved that we can still use the ESE pods from our old machine; but, we can phase that out, especially since those pods increase the toxic load of dioxins on the planet. (FYI, there are now six vortices of plastics floating around our oceans. Fish eat the plastic. We eat the fish. Have to wonder why the pod machine engineers didn’t create a recycling solution; so, the eco-friendly consumer wouldn’t be lost to the competition.)
Features we love:
• Since the machine has an internal water filter, we can use tap water with confidence.
• The cup warmer on the top is a ‘cozying’ touch that also adds a little more time before your brew goes cold
• The stainless steel design lends a visual heft and a professional aesthetic. Elevates our spirits and impresses the clients.
• The auto shut down in 2 hrs is convenient
• The permanent filter means no need to repurchase paper filters
• Every nook and cranny is easy to clean
• No longer tied to the single cup-making machine
• Makes espressos, cappuccinos, lattes and hot chocolate
• Don’t know what she spent; but, looks like ‘overboard’.
• The frothing option gives all of our concoctions that specialty barista spin.
Will return to update if a ‘con’ emerges.

Wet/Dry Beard and Hair Trimmer
Keep your beard groomed with this Panasonic hair trimmer. It has sharp blades positioned at 45 degrees for optimal cutting with minimum discomfort, and it has 19 trim settings to get your hair to the precise desired length. The rubberized grip on this Panasonic hair trimmer lets you maintain control to eliminate accidents.

Customer Rating

I gifted my guy this beard trimmer; but, my expectations were that he would be able to eliminate shaving with a blade.
Instead, when he cuts his hair, he will be able to use the trimmer for very specific tasks such as trimming his mustache, his sideburns and the nape of his neck.
He tried both the wet/dry option and prefers the wet with the tool set at the lowest setting to get the closest cut for his beard.
The settings panel is on the face of the handle and is graded to offer the user a wide range of hair lengths, 19 total settings (0.5 mm gaps from 1mm to 10mm)!
The tool also has a really balanced and rugged feel in the hand with an easily removed comb to afford the user the option to put the metal trimmer directly on the skin.
He was really pleased with the refined five o’clock shadow look as a casual fashion statement; but, will opt for a blade cut when trying to get silky smooth ‘aqua velva’ results. He has that super thick hair shaft that is really hard to lift even when wet and softened with shaving cream.
Mos’ def is that this device is cordless and designed to sit in its charger for direct mounting into an outlet.
More fun is the water proof body that allows shaving in the shower.
There is maintenance.: Was a bit difficult trying to remove the shaver head. Instructions are not super clear for head removal; but, he was finally able to figure it out.
You are provided a small brush to clean the teeth of the shaver after each use; and, a small bottle of oil is provided for oiling the teeth, before and after use. Haven’t yet found the type of oil in the instructions; so, maybe I will have to call corporate when the oil bottle needs to be refilled.
Best battery protocol is to let the tool run down to zero power before recharging. A full charge allows 30 minutes of use. Pay attention to the battery management in the instructions to get the most life out of the battery. Thankfully, the battery won’t get hurt by overcharging; but, we will both monitor charging to remove the tool from the outlet after a day’s worth of charging.
So, for those good at micro-management of your grooming tools and protocols ...and, you know who you are (characteristic of Blood Type A's...this item can up your styling game if you can juggle the tool management.

Love my bright purple color cord that affords easy detection. The price is right. My only issue is that for my Android Desire Eye Smart Phone, I get a slow charging notice that asks that I use the cord compatible with the device. Irritating but I am not unhappy enough with its performance to return it.

My Bobble doesn't leak at the top because I make sure the filter is screwed tightly into the bottle.
I am now comfortable with squeezing the water through the filter.
It fits in my back pack pockets easily.
I would like a protective cuff to protect the bottle in the event it gets dropped.
People ask me where they can get one.
I would like the parts sold separately.
I clean the bottle with sprays of H202 and rinse with negatively ionized H20.
Very nice design.
I hope it doesn't get discontinued at Best Buy.

Shark - DuoClean Powered Lift-Away Speed (NV801) Bagless Upright Vacuum - Cinnamon
Energize your cleaning routine with this Shark Rotator Lift-Away vacuum. Its dual-brush rolls easily sweep up debris, while the detachable canister simplifies reaching under furniture or accessing tight spots. The sealed design and HEPA filter of this Shark Rotator Lift-Away vacuum keep 99.99 percent of dust and allergens trapped inside.
Vacuum As Multi Tool

Lately my favorite vac had been the cordless Shark Navigator; but, to get full force suction to deep clean from high pile carpets to hard floors, the corded SHARK POWERED LIFT AWAY has lots of amenities that offer a reason for having a heavier duty option around the house. And, can't beat a generous 7 year warranty!
Out the box, you get the set up guide for a quick 5 step assembly.
Initially, the weight of the fully assembled vac concerned me; but, I found out that you can reconfigure this vac so the canister that holds the dirt and carries the tools can be held separately from the powered brush head unit.
If you are elderly or have health challenges, it’s a good idea to lift and maneuver the vac at the store to test compatibility with your limitations.

If you are elderly or have health challenges, it’s a good idea to lift and maneuver the vac at the store to test compatibility with your limitations.
The brush head offers a self-propelled assist so when you are vacuuming a deep pile carpet, resistance is minimized.
Of course, you have to be vigilant about the power levels to protect fringe and scatter rugs from the powerful suction that you get when the switch is shifted into high gear.
But, if you do get hair, string or fabric wrapped around the brush head, you no longer have to turn over a heavy brush head to struggle with unwinding material from the cylindrical brush. The cover pops off the top side of the ‘garage’ for quick access. Even a thread cutter is mounted inside the cover so you don’t have to run to the junk drawer for a straight edge.

Like in a ‘Transformer’ movie, you can create a variety of configurations to use the tools handily attached to the unit for travel from room to room.
On the low power setting, I used the small rotating brush head for window treatments, blinds and duvets that had been on my to do list for eons.
You can adjust the reach of the wand to be long or short; so, high mounted curtains and rods, fans, high moldings and walls are a cinch. There are clips for cord management.

The crevice tool offers the option to pull a dust brush up to its tip so you can sweep fragile objects.
Can’t wait to get at those tight spots on the floor under my truck seats.
As well, for my fluted and pleated fabric lamp shades whose folds I would only imagine I got clean with the feather duster, I now clean those folds and creases no longer having to lie to myself.

In my book, most thrilling was a new luxury tool. Now I have a long, flat attachment allows me to vacuum under low clearance furnishings such as under the fridge and stove. I usually don’t reach those tough spots until it’s time move out or install a new floor.
Now, I can be closer to my hygienic ideal by capturing crumbs and dust balls that might attract insects and rodents.

The transparent canister lets me see when the unit is full of dirt.
And, a press of the canister button lets me drop debris into my compost tumbler without a whiff of dust blown in my face.
Access to clean the topside filters is a button pop as well.

Though I would l like a lithium battery-driven version of this unit, the NV 800 Lift-Away option can give you a more thorough cleaning experience until R+D can satisfy the cordless wish.
Unlike the cordless Shark Navigator, you are not interrupted by having to recharge a dead battery.
So, if you’re always time challenged to get all rooms clean before receiving guests, with the LIFT-AWAY, you don’t have to worry that you only have 20 to 30 min to do the job before a recharge is required.
But, if you have the resources, the transforming convenience of both is especially smart if you are multi-tasking between several floors.

I don’t need it right now; but, a rolling caddy for the canister is available as a separate purchase that allows the motor to be pulled along behind the stick with the powered head. I will revisit additional accessories in the future..
At my age, I have a long view as a basis for comparison. With the LIFT AWAY, what I got 'power and option-wise' is far more than what I got for a high end vac at $700 which was huge suction but far too heavy to lug up and down stairs. The SHARK POWERED LIFT AWAY cost sits between the cordless and my expensive ‘medicine ball’; but, the variety of cleaning solutions in a tight break away package for hitting the stairs to high places is at the right the price point for the value.

Noise Cancelling Headset Upgrades Audio Intimacy
Customer Rating

SONY Headset Nbs:
Set up for the SONY Headset is made fast and easy via the Quick Start Graphics, offering a step by step instructions with large graphics and easy to read font size.
What a quantum leap in performance! Charge time is 4 hours for up to 200 hours standby time and max 18 hours playback and communications time; so, start charging on receipt. A pouch for the cords provided for charging or for a wired connection would have been a nice addition; but, since we were saved the added expense, look around the house for a small jewelry or change pouch to make tracking your cords a no-brainer.
The large padded head cuffs cancel interference from outside ambient noise. So, listening to music and answering calls while doing gentle outdoor activities like walking or doing yardwork will be far more pleasurable with this headset because you will not have to interrupt your process with repeated re-installations of ear plugs that fall out of place.
As well, the wireless capability for connection to one’s smartphone eliminates restrictions created by a corded connection. In light of the sound dampening capability, when outdoors be certain to use these phones when personal security is not an issue. You want to be able to recognize any threat to your boundaries when in public spaces. Also, this unit is not protected from exposure to inclement weather; so, protect yourself and the unit accordingly.
But, this noise cancelling set can certainly eliminate the suffering for those with snoring partners. Also, when others want to sleep when you don’t, you can quietly access all of your media.
Though an attempt to download my free access to music and news via my FM Radio app for a wireless connection failed, I can still use the cord delivered with the unit for making a wired connection. (Some Free apps [or all?] seem to require wired connections.) The corded connection works beautifully when connected to smartphone or laptop if wireless is obstructed for some reason.
For accessing the full array of features offered by the unit, GOOGLE PLAY offers a quick download of SONY HEADPHONES CONNECT that gives you the bass toggling features, access to, your Music Library, TUNE IN, the 30 day trial ($9.99 for individuals thereafter) of the SONY (pay-to-play) MUSIC CENTER and a host of other variables.
So far, the SKYPE App, VOICE RECORDER, among others were easily selected from my quickly populated list of previously installed apps on my Android Phone as additional complements to the apps delivered with the unit. BTW, the unit is fully compatible with iPhone and Android.
Oddly, with multiple attempts, the link promoted to download the SONY HEADPHONES CONNECT app on their glossy insert, sony.net/hpc/, failed delivery. My advice is to go direct to GOOGLE PLAY for an obstacle-free download experience.
Otherwise, when you explore the drop down menus, you’ll find the unit’s features are super user friendly. I love SONG PAL and the selection of listening options such as Concert Hall, Outdoor Stage, etc that add rich and diverse tones while listening to music, drama or just talking on the phone or VOIP.
The ear muffs are designated Left and Right and offer ease of access for volume, mic, fast fwd, rewind, bass enhancement charging and related plug-ins. Useful would be information on compatibility with other charging cords; but, a call or email to SONY might unearth some useful details. Most electronic warranties state that interchanging charging cords with other equipment voids coverage.
I suggest that you read the EULA (END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT) to educate yourself on privacy related issues tied to SONY and their affiliates.
Seems access for automatic updates to your electronics affords SONY access to data regarding your location, unit performance, and related information that undermines privacy. But, there is some legalese in the EULA that affords the consumer arbitration rights that can be declined for more consumer friendly rights such as small claims up to $15k; but, think you have to act within a time frame in order to make changes to the contract after purchase. In short order, read, take action or live with the consequences is my admonition since tort reform impacts all aspects of our relationship with manufacturers.

Nonetheless, I am major jazzed by the enhanced quality of my listening experience created by this unit. New dimensions emerge when you can tweaked audio intimacy AND eliminate that barking dog, those grinding power tools and the monster snorer. Thanks SONY for the upgrade to my mobile tool kit!

This UnderArmour Wireless Sport Headset is not only an excellent choice for the fitness junkie but for anyone who wants great hands-free earbud audio performance without having to fidget with earbuds that keep falling out of place.
The unit’s design and packaging are very aesthetically pleasing: modern, upscale and a fashionable match for the UnderArmour Brand.
But, in light of the fact that we are facing the 6th Extinction because of human inability to manage toxic waste, I’d like to see more earth friendly packaging and an indication that all materials are recyclable. I don’t like that the consumer is asked to retain all packaging in the event of a need to return. I really would only like to retain the barcode and proof of purchase since, over time, storage of packaging materials sucks up precious home storage.
Less expensive packaging would also reduce the cost of the unit to the consumer, even those who don’t care if we burn up the planet may appreciate that design outcome.

For convenience, a nice touch is the round, zippered carry case with the UA Logo to carry the earbuds and the charging cord. So, no more tangled dangling wires to manage.
Five different earbud tips, from small to large, afford a range to suit any sized ear.
The earbuds have a buffer that acts as a sound isolation or enhancement feature. As well, the buffer keeps the earbud solidly in place.
The cord connecting the audio earbuds is shorter than experienced with other units; but, a good exchange for the shorter cord is
a clip that can be connected to your clothes; so, when the set is not plugged into your ears, it won’t slip off and get lost, a very smart idea. Many times I have had an emotional meltdown when I’d reach for the headset at my neck and found it had slipped off in the car or elsewhere.
BTW, no plug for standard electric outlets is included. You can only charge via USB port unless you have a plug from another device; but, bear in mind, I am not certain if there are any compatibility issues with that solution.

The Warranty and Instructions are printed in a near illegible font size. Not consumer friendly. But, since I have owned wireless headsets before, connecting to blue tooth with this headset was a snap. Seniors will need a magnifying glass to read their manual and related documents.
The FCC + IC statement reveal that the unit ‘may accept interference’ …even ‘undesired interference’ which, I surmise, means that the potential for surveillance of one’s communication is high. And, in this day of Hemisphere, the consumer must heed that message seriously.

Also, though the unit is promoted to be used by sports people, the Warranty states “for home use only”. That language may mean that exposure to inclement weather, sweat, other outdoor or gym activities with their potential impacts may void the Warranty.
Though there was information that the unit met standards regarding the impact of EMF’s (electro-magnetic fields) on the human body, especially the brain. I would like a link to the research, especially since data on blood type genetics indicates that each person has a different tolerance for environmental bio-field interferences.
Would be nice also if JBL and UnderArmour in collaboration with Harman Manufacturing could create some sort of community re-investment in the indigenous people and their territories where component materials are sourced. The sacrifice of their lives and lands to industrial mines affords the ‘developed’ world’s consumers luxurious tech at an externalized cost for which there needs to be fair exchange or really an entirely new solution. .
Another nice perk is the FREE TRIAL Membership to UnderArmour’s www.mapmyrun.com to monitor your fitness program.
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.

I have a WNR1000 Netgear router. what can I replace it with?
I replaced my WNR1000 NETGEAR Router with the ASUS LYRA VOICE AC2200.
But, if you have a multi-level space, you will need to add as many ASUS Range Extender nodes as required to take advantage of the AMAZON ALEXA LYRA VOICE enabled units. So, you would want to be able to use that feature wherever you are in the house to request music, weather, traffic, make Amazon searches and orders, to receive status reports on deliveries, etc. If you have a small space, you may only need the one unit.

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.
