Rid your home of uncomfortably dry air with this Kyvol HD5 ultrasonic humidifier, which offers 360 degree and detachable spray nozzle which helps improve the dry air in a super quiet way. With Unique and Innovative MegaMist Technology, the mist volume can be increased to 600ml/h and the mist height can reach 40 inches instantly, which gives the droplets enough time to evaporate in the air, protecting your desk or carpet from getting wet.

This humidifier is very well designed and very well engineered. It also looks much nicer than the majority of humidifiers. It is easy to fill. It is very quiet, although it does make an occasional "glub-glub" sound when it puts water from the tank into the lower tray. It has a number of features other humidifiers do not have. There is a knob that allows you to fine tune the rate at which vapor is dispensed. There is a switch that allows you to have the device shut down after 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. The device automatically shuts down when it runs out of water. It has a clever gauge on the front that shows the level of water in the tank - see the attached photo. It is best viewed from above at an angle. There is a white light at the bottom of the column that is pointed up. The light scatters at the surface of the water, showing the level.
The light gets brighter as the water level lowers. In the photo the tank is about a third full, as indicated by the upper white dot. This is a great buy.

The last time I charged this device was about 8 months ago. A few days ago my 2021 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk wouldn't start - the starter motor was dead silent. I pulled the device out of my glove compartment, and saw that it still had over 75% of its charge. I made 3 attempts to start the Jeep, and succeeded on the third attempt! This device saved my bacon. I am very impressed with its capabilities, particularly with its ability to hold its charge for such a long period!

Murder on the Orient Express [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2017]
Excellent movie, but no digital code
Customer Rating

This is an excellent movie. The presentation of Hercule Poirot is quite different from other Agatha Christie films.
I think it is actually the best I have seen. I deducted one star because there was no digital code in the case - in fact, upon reading the back of the case, I found that it stated any digital code may not even be valid after 2020.

We all need extra outlet space for new devices and plugs. The Insignia NS-PWRPLPL 2-Outlet Plug Liberator helps you achieve just that. A short 6" cord lets you separate large plug while keeping the original plug intact. Two AC outlets allow you to power multiple devices at the same time. A white color camouflages the plug liberator allowing it to match with most modern cords. Use this to organize computer equipment, home theater systems and much more. Free up plugins today and forget about needing to find extra outlets.

This is an excellent remastering on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl. Maria Callas was one of the most famous opera singers of the 20th century, and some of her best pieces are on this album. This album is well worth adding to your collection of opera recordings. I have attached a picture of the back of the album cover that lists the selections on this album.

I have had the older version of this adapter for some time, and when I saw this new, updated model, decided to get it.
It was a very good decision - the new model is more powerful and has better wifi reception than the older model. I can now stream with it much, much better! I recommend it highly!

I have a high end Sony smart tv, but have long been unhappy with its ability to stream over my Wi-Fi. This Roku Streaming Stick 4k (2021) has eliminated that problem! It has a superior antenna for Wi-Fi reception and transmission, and a much better processor for Wi-Fi that allows me now to stream with no drops and no buffering.
Also, I am very impressed with the simplicity of the menu system of the Roku, and the fact that they are not cluttered with distracting ads.
I highly recommend this device!

does the motherboard come with an extra cable it I want to install another SATA compatible Drive or does it have to be purchased separately?
I opened up my computer to look at the cable situation, because I want to add an additional hard drive to the system. I found that the power cable to the DVD drive has a connector on it that will allow you to supply power to such a drive. I also saw that there is an open socket for one data sata cable to connect to this drive, but there is no cable provided to do this. You will have to buy the cable yourself (less than $10). Finally there is a single open bay available, and it will hold a 3.5" drive, and it is just below the dvd drive. So adding one additional SATA drive appears doable, and relatively straight forward.

Why is there no slot for a GPU? In the specifications for this product, in the expansion section, it states there is 1 PCI-E X1 slot, and a PCI-E x16 slot. What is in these slots, if I can't put a GPU in there? Is the description wrong?
I opened up my Lenovo, and see that both of these slots are open and available. However, be aware that the power supply for this machine is modest, and supplies a maximum of only 180 Watts. You need to carefully tally up the power already being used, and see if there is enough for the video card of your choice. Even a low end video card is going to use over 30 W. I think you are best advised to stick with the built in graphics.
