I like using this when exercising and when on long walks - the audio sound quality is very good, far superior to comparably priced earbuds. It is also a very comfortable headset. It also permits some outside sound in - an important feature when outside.

Get a workout while sitting down with the Cubii Jr. Seated Elliptical. This compact elliptical machine has an ergonomic design to reduce joint stress and an assortment of tools to help customize a workout based on individual health and fitness needs, including eight resistance levels to help adjust intensity to appropriate and challenging levels for each user. This machine, which is made to work quietly, does require some light assembly (it comes with a tool to attach the pedals).

This Cubii is excellent for getting some exercise regularly during the very cold and icy winters of Minnesota. It is a quality product that will last a very long time. It is whisper quiet, and does not dominate a room - making it great in a modestly sized apartment. I recommend it highly.

This headset has very good audio! I have tested it on my Xbox One X console, my S7 Edge cell phone, and on my desktop computer. It has good audio with the mic, but the mic needs to be positioned close to your mouth. It is a very comfortable headset! It is a solidly made headset, and looks sharp but not garish. I recommend it highly!

I have a collection of records that are 30 - 60 years old, that needed new inner sleeves. These do an excellent job! If you are persistent, you can find them on sale. I got mine at nearly half the regular price!

These are excellent speakers for my vintage stereo system. My 45 year old Kenwood KR-2400 receiver/amplifier is rated at just 17W/channel, but is well matched to these new speakers and sounds great. It provides plenty of volume for my modestly sized apartment living room with these speakers. I got a pair of Rockville stands to put some distance above the floor, and provide some acoustic isolation (important in an apartment complex).

I was very fortunate to be able to get this multi-disc CD player -- good ones are very hard to find these days at a reasonable price. I obtained this as an "open box" item, advertised as in "Excellent" condition. It was as advertised - it appeared someone had opened the box, and peeled away some of the soft wrapping, but otherwise appeared brand new, and never used. All the accessories were still sealed in their bags, and the manual also sealed in its bag. The player is excellent! I ran it through its paces. Everything worked well, and it sounded great! It is a large device -- 17in X 17in X 5in, and heavy. I suspect the previous purchaser did not realize just how big this is. I sit it on the top of my stereo cabinet, with the turntable on top of it. I recommend this player most highly!

This camera has all the features I have wanted for some time, and is within my budget. It is a premium travel camera that has a 1-inch sensor with 20-Million pixels, a very good Leica lens with a 10X optical zoom, and very good optical image stabilization. It comes equipped with a 3-inch touch-screen that allows a host of controls directly. It has very good automatic image control, that makes the camera very easy to use. It also allows one a host of means for manual control, and facilitates this with a control ring on the barrel of the lens and a dial on the top of the camera - and each of these can be user selected for different exposure controls. The camera is small and compact - easily placed in a jacket pocket. It is unintrusive - important for candid shots. I carry it with me on my daily walks, something I would not do with my larger cameras.
The attached photos of a deer family and of a cardinal were each taken at 10X optical zoom, with automatic image control. The camera was handheld, and indicate the quality of the optical image stabilization. The sun rise photo was taken at maximum wide angle, again with automatic image control.
Some accessories I would suggest include:
- SanDisk - Extreme PRO 128 GB SDXC Memory Card
- Case Logic - Era Camera Pouch
- Spare battery (DMW-BLG10PP)
- "Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic ZS100/TZ100" by

Microsoft - Play & Charge Kit for Xbox One - Black
Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

I bought this as "Open box - Excellent" because it was unavailable new. It looked new to me! The only evidence it had been opened was the broken seal on the box. The contents looked like they had never been removed from the box. It has worked out very well for me. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery, but once done I can use it about 2 hours a day for about two weeks. I purchased a 6 foot USB 3.0 extension cable so I could play while charging (I sit about 12 feet from the console) - and it works just fine!

I have been waiting for some time for this device to come back in stock. With the pandemic it has proven difficult to obtain a good thermometer. This device has proven to work extremely well for me. It is accurate, and takes a reading very quickly - in less than 6 seconds. In addition, it interfaces with your smart phone, and keeps a record of all your readings. I recommend it highly.

I purchased the 8" model a year ago, and it was a no brainer to purchase this when it was offered on sale recently. I needed a unit with a large screen for use in the bedroom, that was easily readable with my glasses off. I use it regularly to play relaxing music or sounds to help me go to sleep. I can easily play music from local radio stations by issuing verbal commands, and instructing it verbally to turn off after a set interval. I recommend it strongly.

Can I stack my Yamaha receiver on top of the CD player? The CD player is a bit too wide to use side by side.
I would say it is ok to put your receiver on top of the cd player, but would recommend against putting the receiver under it. Receivers can generate a fair amount of heat, and you generally want to have good airflow on the top and sides of the receiver.

is this drive 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm? most likely 5400 for the good price but just need to know
This drive is 5400rpm. There are very few external 7200rpm drives. Check out G-Technology and Buffalo, who offer a few.
