Got this as a replacement for a 32" bedroom TV since I can't see the small writing on the 32" most of the time now, and because it was almost half price during the holidays sales.
It has BestBuy logo on the back.
It is "Made in Taiwan" which I think a little bit better quality.
Colors are good, I wouldn't say bad or excellent.
Sound is ok as well, it has preset options, and also you can customize the settings.
It has "Bluetooth" feature, but you cannot connect a Bluetooth headphone or earbuds to it, only a remote, keyboard or a mouse.
It is a "Amazon Fire TV" with Fire remote, so, no digits on the remote, then, for watching live broadcast -which I mainly use it for- it's not a good match, since you have either to flip the channels one by one, or have to go thru few clicks to the onscreen guide then pick the channel- for me- it's really annoying.
If you use the closed captions, its pain to get to the menu, it also doesn't have the option to show the captions while in mute.
While on live TV mode, it has a nice feature of going back a few minutes (nice if you have been distracted and want to catch up on the show) and then you you can switch back to live/ current real time broadcast. Bad thing it keeps SKIPPING every few minutes, the screen just go blank -no picture or sound- for a few seconds, and then works again. I'm not sure if this is a defect or just the things are with live TV mode on this mainly streaming TV.

Nice tiny drive. I use it for on the go. Only thing i wished it had, is to be for outdoor use.
Its fast and good quality built. Even though it has a key chain eye, you have to careful with the elements. So, I normally keep it in my pocket.

Smaller in size than I expected. Nice feature I use is the "Bell", wish there were more setting for the bell, like snooze or different sound, but I think that is google not the hardware, not sure though.
Since I use use the free YT music, it doesn't stream to the clock (needs YT music subscription), but i was able to get around that using it as a bluetooth speaker. Responds reliably to the commands. You just have to read the manual first to know how to use the features. The physical switch to turn off the mic is a nice privacy feature. The USB charging port is nice to have too. I got on sale, I would rather not pay full price for it.

Works perfect. It took a little time to set up at first, once started and connected to an FM channel, its working like a champ. I used it in an old 1999 car. Bluetooth connects to my phone (Samsung S9+) once i get in the car, and I always leave the radio on too.
Great product, also got one for a friend. I didn't use the charging yet so I might be back to tell about that.

This case is really good quality, nice arrangement to cables and charging gadgets organized. It's not a travel documents' case though, so keep that in mind. I don't think its travel friendly, because you can lose it easily. if it had a waist strap, it would have had a 5-star.

Nice gadget. Sound is high quality. Easy to pair and connect. Nice range without noise or static. Using the mic during calls, the other end of the call complained sometime about my voice sound from far, so I had to get the mic closer to my mouth.
The earbuds sizes are really annoying, even the smallest size still big to squeeze into my ears, and it hurts, so I don't keep it plugged into my ears as I wished.
The announcement of the battery charge percentage, and the power on/ off, and bluetooth connection is a great feature.

I got this deep fryer mid Dec 2020, just used it yesterday. Its nice compact size, suitable for 1 or 2 persons' servings of fries. its fast and saves oil. I wish the oil container would be removable for easier cleaning, but is still ok but needs more attention when clean so water wouldn't get into the electrical parts.
The reason for the 4-star on quality is the magnet that holds the cable/ plug is not strong enough, so you need to be VERY careful when you plug it in.

TomE's Questions
 
This is the base Hydroshot, but with a bigger battery, so you get twice the runtime than the standard model. The 20V Power Share 4.0Ah Hydroshot Portable Power Cleaner lets you wash more cars, bikes, or camping gear in one go. Its included 4.0Ah battery has 2x the capacity of the basic 2.0Ah version. What’s more, the included bottle connector means you can take this Hydroshot anywhere without the need for a freshwater source to dip into. Just screw on any common 2L plastic soda bottle and take this power washer on a road trip or to any place where having a large bucket filled with water might be an inconvenience. Or, just use the Hydroshot the tried-and-true way and drop the included 20-ft. hose into the lake, marina, or any freshwater source. And you can always hook it up to the faucet or the spigot outside. The Hydroshot is also perfectly calibrated to deliver the right amount of pressure for moderate cleaning tasks around the home or cabin. Too much pressure (like you get from a pressure washer), and you’ll strip the paint off the deck, not enough, and you won’t get the mud out of those tires. The Hyrdoshot isn’t a pressure washer, it’s made for quick routine cleaning of things like patio furniture, grills, window screens, beach gear, bicycles, stairs, SUVs and boats. It’s great for spot cleaning, delicate surfaces, boots, kayaks and canoes, outdoor equipment, garage floors, fencing, and sidewalks. And it’s a blast to use (get it, blast?), so you’ll clean more often when you’ve got the Worx 20V 4.0Ah Hydroshot.
 

Can use the Hydroshot WG620 with the condenser cleaners for my outdoor AC/Heat Pump unit?

can I take my shaver in carryon luggage on an airplane

I think if you're on a plane, you must have it in your carry on since it has a lithium ion battery, it shouldn't be in a checked in luggage.
Generally, anything with a lithium ion battery should be in your carry on, if you can detach the battery, then you keep the battery in your carry on.
