These binoculars provide exceptional viewing of
birds and other wildlife. What you see has incredible
clarity and brightness. They also work well for people
wearing prescription glasses. They are well worth
the price.

This is an excellent single-serve coffee maker. I have been
using it with generic K-cups from my local supermarket,
and its performance has been excellent. I make two cups
each morning, and each cup is done in about 2 minutes.
The results taste excellent!
The two buttons for brewing are on the front. The
reservoir gage is easily readable on the side. The
coffee maker uses all the water in the reservoir in
making each cup of coffee. The reservoir is easily
filled from the top. Insertion and removal of K-cups
is very easy.
A special pod is included that you can load with
ground coffee. It is to be found inside the large
pedestal the cup sits upon. I have not yet tried it,
but can confirm that it fits nicely in the machine.
The size of the coffee maker will work with even
a crowded countertop. Its red color will fit in well
with most kitchens.
It is of excellent value, and well worth the price!

This case is an excellent fit to the Motorola Moto G
5G (2024). Each of the openings on the bottom
provide plenty of clearance. In particular, I have no
problems plugging in my headphones, or plugging
in my USB C cable. The side volume buttons are
precisely positioned with those of the phone - there
are no issues adjusting volume. The cutout on the
side for the power button/fingerprint sensor works
extremely well. The cutout on the back for the cameras
is fine. The cutout on the top for the top microphone
is fine. The case looks great on the phone!

This combo package is a great value. The SDXC is
excellent, and I use it as added storage for my new
Motorola moto g 5g 2024 phone. The reader is an
added bonus. It is a USB 3 reader, and permits the

The phone was delivered quickly in just three days after
it was ordered. It was delivered in a small, heavy-duty
cardboard box. When I picked up the box I could hear
something moving inside. Upon opening the box I
immediately saw that the phone was not packed very
well. The phone itself was in a thin plastic bag, and
secured to the bottom of the box by a tight band of thin
plastic. There was no foam cushion on either side of the
phone. Placed on top of the phone was a box containing
a charging cable. This box was free to move about. There
was also a wall charger in a thin plastic bag that was also
free to move about. These items should, at a minimum,
have been isolated from the phone by bubble wrap. I
expected more care for a phone that cost $450. This
careless packing cost me a week of carefully testing the
phone - something most customers would not do.
I first performed a careful visual inspection of the phone.
The screen looked like new - it was free of any
imperfections. The back of the phone had a few minor
blemishes, but nothing else. I found a small scuff mark
on two of the corners of the surrounding aluminum
band, that are invisible with a case.
I ran all the Samsung diagnostics multiple times,
and the phone passed them all. I found an app to
help me find dead pixels and residual images on the screen - none were found. The display screen was
like new. The battery was also like new. I have been
using the phone now for almost four weeks, and can get
almost three days usage out of one full charge - although
my usage is relatively light.
All three cameras work very well, and the lenses look
like new. They experienced no damage from the careless packing - but I was probably lucky. A photo of the
base of my Christmas tree with the main lens is very
sharp and clear. The small blur in the upper left corner
was from my finger! Photos with the other lenses were
also excellent.
I am very happy with this phone. However, I am afraid I
can not recommend it to a friend. The careless way it
was packaged could have damaged the phone. I think it
would have been safer to not include the charging block
and the box with the charging cable, if such flimsy
packing is continued. In any event, the phone should be
cushioned on all sides by foam. It is, after all, a $450
device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

of these in white that really impressed me. It does an
excellent job. It is a very solid unit that promises to
have a long life. The usb c port makes very good

provided very good value.

New gamer here! Do I need any type of hard drives to hold more game, etc? And if so what is recommended?

You should plan on getting a usb external hard drive, 4TB or greater. Western Digital and Seagate have good units at reasonable prices. If you will be subscribing to Xbox's subscription services, and taking advantage of the many deals on games at Best Buy and elsewhere, you will fill up the 1TB in the console very quickly. I've only had my unit for 4 days, and it is already more than half full!

Can it connect to wireless earbuds?

No, it can not. It has bluetooth ONLY for input - so you can stream music from your cell phone to it (and it does a great job with this). But you can not output using bluetooth. You can, however, connect using the headphone out - and the quality of that output is first rate. You will need to get wired earbuds to do this.

How is the am fm quality pickup. I live in the country.

I live in a small town. I pick up local fm stations, and fm stations within 30 miles with outstanding clarity. The tuner locks on, and there is zero drift (none observed over a 5 hour period, and it remains tuned precisely from day to day). I can't speak to am stations.

I thought this came with batteries I just took off the cover and there aren’t any batteries. Did you guys get batteries with yours?

It has a built in rechargeable battery. Use the supplied ac power cord to charge it. Make certain the switch on the back is "on" when you do this.
