Solid build quality. It has a nice solid aluminum housing with a gasket at the battery cap. The battery sleeve which holds 9AA batteries is of good construction. It has an adjustable beam focus which is great. I compared the lumen output of this flashlight to my other flashlight that is 1100 lumens. This flashlight is easily 3300 lumens! She lights up the night! When I registered the flashlight on their website they are sending me a free set of batteries just for registering! That's customer service. For this price, you will not find a comparable quality and high output lumen flashlight. Buy it!

The attachments go on and off easily. The eyebrow guide is far away to do any good. I just use the trimmer without the guide. It's sharp and does the job well. The working end is all plastic (except the blade and seems a little cheap compared to the nice solid body. For the price it's good.

After pairing with my Samsung tablet and Samsung phone I found the sound quality to absolutely horrible! It sounds sooo tinny. No bass whatsoever! I then paired my wife's Apple airpods and listened to the same songs. It's a night and day difference! The airpods had a richer bass and more clarity. I couldn't believe it! I'm not an Apple guy. I own everything Samsung. I wanted the Samsung buds to work but they are really, really bad. These are going back tomorrow!

I reviewed many washers before purchasing this Maytag 5.2 Cu Ft washer. The 5.3 Cu Ft Maytag doesn't have this larger agitator. It makes all the difference! There are a few youtube reviews complaining about the noise and water level. Forget about it! I'm coming from an LG HE set that didn't last 7 years before rusting and the dryer drum motor failed! This washer is no louder than any other washer that I have experienced. The water levels are fine. The water levels are well above the clothes and this agitator really does the job! It has many water sense and wash cycles per load and it works perfectly. I witnessed at least 4 different wash cycles where the agitator and drum performed different actions. This is a great washer. Don't be fooled by any negative reviews you may come across. Those reviews are from the competition in my opinion! Also, this is made in the USA!

This Samsung Galaxy Watch comes with small and large straps to ensure a good fit, and the battery lasts up to six days after a wireless charge.

Customer Rating
4.0
After looking at the Apple watches for my daughter for Christmas I thought I would just look at the Samsung equivalent for myself. Boy, am I glad I did. This review is not about comparing the two watches. What watch is square anyway?
I opted for the smaller of the two Galaxy watches. This 42mm is just the right size and is very light. This is my first venture into the smartwatch category. Here are my impressions:
Pros:
Excellent style and build quality.
It looks great and people notice it.
Seamlessly pairs with your smartphone without having to enter any wifi passwords or configure emails.
It brings in all of your contacts.
The interface is fairly straightforward and easy to navigate.
There are tons of options to tweak the watch just the way you like it.
The response of sliding the screens left and right is super fast.
The rotating bezel is a very nice addition and highly useful for navigation.
You can receive and send text messages.
You can receive and send email messages.
You can receive and place phone calls.
The phone call quality is excellent. My wife didn't even know I was talking to her on the watch.
You can create text by writing letters with your finger and it converts it to text.
The display is crisp and clean looking.
You can receive and send text messages via wifi if Bluetooth is out of range.
You can receive and send email messages via wifi if Bluetooth is out of range.
The app on your smartphone pairs easily with your watch and it works great to tweak your watch and download apps to your watch.
The phone charges wirelessly on the included inductive charging stand.
It's water resistant so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.
Samsung Pay works great and it's secure and it's easy to configure and use.
The altimeter accuracy is spot on! I checked the watch altimeter reading to my locally verified altimeter reading and it was only off by one foot at 650 feet!
Battery life is a pro. I've been using the watch heavily over the last two days because it's new. I was receiving text messages and emails throughout the two days. I set alarm reminders. I received and placed phone calls. I added and deleted watch apps from the watch. After heavy use, the battery never went below 70% after a full day of use. I charged it just before bed and it was ready the next morning.
Huge assortment of downloadable watch faces albeit some you have to purchase for a few bucks.
The battery will charge from 70% to 100% is about 40 minutes.
The watch seamlessly connects to known wifi networks that your phone already knows.
The watch will let you know if you are out of Bluetooth range and wifi will kick in.
The watch can be used "standalone" as an mp3 player and fitness exerciser when out of Bluetooth or wifi range.

So-so:
The Bixby voice commands are merely okay. It sometimes doesn't know what you're saying so you have to repeat it.
The Bixby voice output is many generations behind Google. It sounds cheap and robotic.
You are tethered via Bluetooth and its range for full watch functionality.

Cons:

Many downloadable watch apps are 1st generation.
No stock calculator app is included. You have to download one.
No stock stopwatch app is included. You have to download one.

I purchased the HP 6798 just a few days ago and had to return it because of the horrid setup and software! This printer is loud! The first page out speed is very slow. It has to click and clack and takes time to position the ink cartridges. HP is of poor quality and poor mechanics.
Pros:
Price I guess
Instant Ink subscription available

I just returned an HP 6978 which had an absolutely awful setup! This Epson WF-4730 was a breeze to install and setup! Hats off to Epson! This printer is fast! I mean it's fast! I love the two paper trays. You can have one tray for 8.5x11 stock paper and the other tray for photo paper (or whatever you want). Nice! The print quality is excellent. I will never buy an HP printer again! Period.

Is this watch compatible with Verizon cell service.
Yes but only if you purchase the LTE version of the phone. It would then be an additional charge per month. The Bluetooth/wifi version does not require cell service because it's paired to your phone but you have to be within the phones Bluetooth range for full functionality.

This 5ATM-rated Samsung Galaxy Watch has 4GB of internal storage for app downloads and software upgrades.
What is the difference between wifi/ Bluetooth connectivity and getting the 4g lte? And which one is this model?
The wifi/Bluetooth version requires a Bluetooth connection to your phone and has to remain within the Bluetooth range of your phone for full functionality. The LTE version acts just like its own cell phone. It doesn't have to be tethered to your phone but you do incur a monthly charge on your phone bill. Most cell phone providers ask for an additional $10/month plus a one-time setup charge. The LTE version uses more battery.

Can the two paper trays be stocked with different paper sizes, (say Letter 8.5" x 11" and Legal 8.5" x 14") and will the printer automatically select & print on the size the document is created for?
Yes. I have photo paper in tray 1 and 8.5x11 paper in tray 2. It knows which tray to pull from! It's awesome!
