I have another of this companies products and have also given one to my daughter as a gift. I like iced tea and I drink a lot of it. Since buying this kettle I have averaged (on this version) 3 kettles a day without a problem. I use my other one to alternate when guests are over!
It's that good. Not good enough, you say? I spent my own hard earned money on it so the truth is, it really is that good. I highly recommend this device!
Yeah...Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I tried the excellent Insignia GoogliegIRL speakers. Nice but I hate talking to GooglieGirl. I tried Amazon's Alexa speakers. Not as nice as the Insignia GooglieGirl speakers and I don't like talking to Alexa.
I have a Denon AV Receiver I got at BB with Heos built in. Guess what?
These little speakerettes are fantastico! No need to be hoping some A.I. female voice will recognize my voice and play my music, I pick what I what and send it where I want it. No regrets! No if onlys? No buyer's remorse! No kidding. These are superdedoooper!
These are excellent speakers and I am going to be getting at least two more in the future. Highly recommend! Trust me. I know what I'm doing when I'm reviewin'!

I buy this because She Who MUST Be Obeyed has declared it her favourite coffee! To be honest, I don't drink the stuff m'self. To be just as honest, I value peace and quiet and having this particular brand and flavour of brew is the best way to start the day. For her, because it is her fave and for me because it is her fave and makes her day easier to get started.
So then...What have learned here today? Get your wife her most favored B&B (Brand & Blend) of coffee and you shall be rewarded with a smile instead of a frown from your beloved. That is worth it all.

I bought this back in June for some very dear friends (more family, really) and they received it a few days later. But still it doesn't show here that I'm a verified buyer!!!!
I am a Verified Buyer. :-) Yup. I am.
Well...I am! And per my friends this ION Survival Blootoof Speaker is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I've given a couple of other IONs away. One to my son and one more to another good friend, but this one was chosen for this couple as they go camping and this ION has solar charging and a hand crank to help keep the battery powered up and the music playing.
The battery last for several hours and you can also charge your cell phone via the USB outlet. What more could you ask for?
How about built in AM/FM and (*GASP*) Short Wave Radio?! Well it has those two too (cool how I just did that phraseologifcaiton there, huh?).
So, as is my habit, this baby comes highly recommended. I tend to check into things before I buy them, either for myself or family and friends. I've heard from the wonderful folk I gave this unit to and they told me it is most excellent indeed.
Buy one for backayrd BBQing. Buy one for camping. Buy one for NASCARing (izzat a word?). If you have the need for a rugged, powerful and kinda cool looking Blootoof speaker, this ION will fill that need.
Trust me...I know what I'm doing.

This time, for my son. He has taken to weight training and as such has become all the more health conscious about his food. This blender/food processor does not only what he asks of it, but also what he needs.
I bought this to replace a 35+ year old Osterizer blender that simply developed a leak that I could not get to stop. So...I bought my son this new version. Like the previous processor, this unit has a GLASS container and when it comes to blenders and processors, glass is class.
Enough motor power to blend the thickest protein shakes as well as slice up vegetables such as carrots without so much as a wimper. Some here may say, "But SSSS, you give nearly everything you review 5 Stars!"
To that I would say thus - "I don't give anything I buy 5 Stars. It must earn them".
This blender does just that.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

This Samsung Galaxy Book Flex laptop has an Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM for running multiple programs at once.
Since I returned this I've yet to see Samsung address my concerns about it. It kept locking up requiring a hard-boot? Why? The speakers were horrid? Why? And is the battery replaceable or not? Still looking for a new laptop. Gave my son an iPad Air.
Update: I NEVER heard back from Samsung so I no longer own this particular laptop.

iRobot - Roomba i7+ (7550) Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum - Charcoal
Vacuuming that fits seamlessly into your life. The i7+ learns your home and navigates to where the messes are, right when they happen—so you can effortlessly keep your floors clean. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa voice assistant, “Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table” and consider it done. After each cleaning, the i7+ empties itself into Dirt Disposal bags that hold up to 60 days of debris so you can forget about vacuuming for months. Personalized cleaning recommendations and seasonal suggestions help keep floors clean year-round, and 10x the Power-Lifting suction* paired with self-emptying convenience help make life a whole lot easier.
Do you have to use Google Assistant or Alexa to operate this? Or is the Roomba app sufficient? Thanks
The Roomba App is more than sufficient. I really don't want or need (though others might!) Alexa or Hey Google to do this for me so...The Roomba Application is all you need to get this Roomba working! I can even tell both my Roombas (different models, one of which is about two or three years old now) to start cleaning remotely from my office. I simply select the Roomba app on my iPhone and tell the Roomba to start cleaning. It does so every time without fail and it does it via my cell (there is NO WiFi at my work) to my home. Roombas are my favorite robot vacuums!

Can you move the Roomba to another level in your home? Will it map out a second floor and keep multiple maps?
It should map out the new area and you can then name it 2nd Floor or whatever you choose. You would have to take the unit and physically place it there. It keeps multiple maps or at least for me it has. I suppose when charging time comes you will have to take it back downstairs or have moved the base to the second floor. I cannot recommend this Roomba enough. It has made life a little bit nicer for us! All the best!

Nope. It's kinda like a baby in that you have to change the poopy diapers. It takes approximately 33.3232949349434 seconds for me to do this so I bet you'll be just fine!

Does this vacuum work on a 5 GHz WiFi
No it does not. If you have a Mesh System WiFi you will have to go into the router and separate the two frequencies in order for your vacuum to see the 2.4 frequency and then all will be groovy! At least that's how we did it on mine and my daughters and they work just fine. I believe one of the factors behind this using the 2.4 may be that range/distance/strength of transmission is greater on the lower frequency.

Since the RAM is hard soldered on, can the battery be replaced or not, please? Thank you!
To further clarify my question regarding the battery, is it soldered onto the motherboard or is it connected via a ribbon cable and a molex-type connector? Please let me know as this is a VERY important detail to me. I get the RAM part and find it odd that anyone would solder memory to the board as if you have a memory failure you are screwed.

Thanks for the answer but perhaps I was not clear enough. Is the battery hard-soldered onto the board or is it attached via a ribbon cable and a molex-type connector to the board? If soldered, I must pass. Either way thank you for the previous answer and I look forward to hearing from you on this.
