Bought this to replace the big hulking noisy over-the-stove one that died recently.
Our household doesn't cook in microwaves, only using them to heat small dishes of leftovers, heat water, or cook popcorn. This little microwave is the perfect size.
I like that it's much more quiet than the one it replaced.
It is a smaller wattage, so it does take a little more time to heat things up if you need them really hot, but only a little. It's definitely not a deal breaker.
In all, a decent product so far. My one pause is that the button that opens the door doesn't feel very robust, and I worry that the spring mechanism wouldn't last very long if I weren't careful with it. households with rough kids might not fare so well if they mash the button overly hard to open the door. I think that with care, it will be fine though.

This is the first new washer I've had in decades, so everything about it is new to me.
So far, this has been a great device. It's much quieter than my age-old traditional washer, though you will have to get used to some new sounds. The motor drive system has a slight high-pitched pulsed electronic sound as it moves the drum back and forth. It is normal, but totally different than what you may be used to hearing with traditional, older belt-drive systems. It's very slight, so simply closing the washing area door will suffice.
There are TONS of options, and there is a bit of a learning curve in how to select what you need. I probably won't need most of the options, but they're available if I ever find I need them later.
It fills differently than my old washer, too. It doesn't just fill the drum with a set amount of water, wasting the excess. Instead, it puts some in, moves around, adds more, moves around, and tests itself before entering the primary wash cycle. This apparently uses less water, and optimizes each load according to material weight, size, and density. It will take a while to see if my water bill goes down, but I think it will over time.
I had it professionally installed by a Best Buy tech, so it is well balanced and I haven't had to run to the washroom to stop it from shaking uncontrollably like my old washers when the load becomes unbalanced. I have not yet had an unbalanced load with this washer, even when washing very large loads. It also has a much bigger capacity than I'm used to, but it seems to handle everything I throw at it just fine. Even large blankets, bedding, and bath mats.
It looks very sleek, and the see-through top-loading lid is kind of neat (my cat is fascinated). I like the slow closure mechanism, so the lid doesn't slam shut if you accidentally let go of it.
In all, a very nice washer. I think I made a good choice so far.

This is a very powerful massage device. The construction feels solid and substantial, and not like cheap plastic that's going to vibrate apart.
I've only had it since Christmas 2021, so I'm still evaluating how long the battery charge lasts, but so far, it keeps its power for multiple sessions of use. We'll see how well it continues to charge and last over time, but right now it's very good.
One concern that could be an issue for elderly or those who cannot withstand vigorous massage - This device is powerful and its lowest setting is very strong. Great for deep massage on large aching muscles. But if used on sensitive areas such as forearms calves, or back of neck, it could be too much. The massage heads are solid, and on areas without much "meat" may be too tender to use on these areas. Scalps, shins, hands, and directly over the spine are out of the question for ME, but your results may be different depending on what you yourself can stand.
A very worthwhile purchase so far. I gave it 4/5 stars because I think the massage heads should be slightly softer, but this may be fine for others.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Needed a new mouse and have had good luck with Logitech. But this mouse is very poor for gaming, and may be poor for applications that require you to use both buttons simultaneously.
As a general mouse for surfing and documents, it's fine. But if you use it to play games, specifically if you aim with the right button and fire with the left, the plastic shell is so weak and flexible that the two buttons actually collide in the middle causing the second button pushed to get stuck on the first, preventing it from actually registering.
An okay mouse for office work, but don't get it if you're a frequent gamer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
