I usually drink iced tea and those expensive "energy" beverages, but, and everybody has a big but so it's time to talk about mine when it comes to caffeinated beverages, this thing has usurped the "energy" drink for me!
I start my day with a cup o' joe. Well...actually two cups. Maybe three. And I make all of 'em with real sugar, real coffee and real milk. The foamitizerizationalizing of this machine is great! It makes the milk all frothy and foamy and I use REAL milk! Sometimes I use REAL Kefir or even a mix of Kefir and cream for extra calories!
If it's a cold morning, I make my coffee HOT. If not, then I ice it up and enjoy it just as much! I'm saving enough money to go to Australia (!) by using this baby instead of buying several "energy" drinks a day! I kid you not!
And the beverages it brews are superb-a-mundo! Highly recommend? You got that right pardner! I use the K-Cups it came with and additional ones I purchased (Columbian) as well as the adaptor I bought to allow me to brew freshly ground Java!
So, If you're considering one of these brewers, ponder no more my friends! It does exactly what it says, does it well several times a day and if you're a caffeine nut like me, wakes you up for a whole lot less than several cans of "energy" drinks!
Highly recommended, indeed! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

This case does not work if you are using the battery mod pack. That is the ONLY reason I took the case back and believe me, I want a case but I also want one that fits the phone with the battery mod pack installed. So...If you don't mind that one little detail, then yes, I recommend this case.
But for me? Nope. And again, this is the ONLY reason I did not keep the case.

Look, it's a toothbrush. Yeah, I know exciting, huh? But if you ain't go your teeth not only do you sound like a mush-mouth but you'll be eating nothing but mush, oatmeal and the like.
This device flat works. You just need to use it! I recommend it because it works really well and I know it'll help keep my teeth where they belong - in my mouth instead of in a glass of water by the bed, LOL!

While that is true, I should like to point out that I don't give presents that I don't think are worthy of the person I am buying for. These were for our son and he takes them on hikes and to the gym. They are used several times a week. Outside the smart-watch we gave him I cannot think of another gift that has proven as useful. So far... :-)

This is my first ever "foiled" electric shave and I have nothing but praise for it. I was gong to get one of the more expensive models but decided to give this one a try first and if it lasts more than a year, I may "move up".
So far I've seen no need to move up because this little razor treats my face like a mother caresses her baby. It works as advertised and that means it gets the job done on my face without doing a job on my face!
I very much recommend this razor! And since it's for me, I bought the protection warranty. Like the razor, it was reasonably priced so that even if I don't ever need it, it's there to give me peace of mind.

Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don’t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you’re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you’ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
 

Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.

This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.

At last... I am soooooooooooooooooo happy with my stereo now that I have the Applie iPhone SE and CarPlay!

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!

I am the person that asked this question and now that i have bought the iPhone SE and have used CarPlay in my Dodge Ram I shall answer it as no one else appears to ha e been able to do so.

Yes. CarPlay and this new 2nd Gen iPhone SE works a whole lot BETTER than does Android Auto and my Motorola Z3 Play. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Does unlocked phone means I can put my own sim in it

I put the SIM from my unlocked Motorola Z3 Play into the iPhone SE (2nd Gen) and it works great. It was so easy even I could do it.
And I did!

Take a breath of fresh air with this Dyson Pure Cool air purifier. A dimming LED display and quiet operation make this purifier ideal for use in your bedroom, and the integrated fan delivers a burst of cool air on hot evenings.

Is this a fan also? Or just a air purifier.

It's a fan. It's a filter! It's a...a...Fanilter!

Yes, it is both in one. It's two! Two! TWO devices in ONE! It works fantastico and I have no regrets in buying or recommending it to anyone. If you want a more powerful fan, look elsewhere but if you NEED a :"FANILTER", look no further. All the best to you!

Denon - HEOS 5 HS2 Wireless Speaker - Black
Listen to your favorite music with the Denon HEOS 5 speaker. Inside are two custom-designed tweeters, a passive radiator and two mid-woofers, delivering a hi-fi-audio experience. The singular form and handle let you transport it anywhere with ease, and the Denon HEOS 5 speaker wirelessly streams music from your phone, tablet, cloud, USB and NAS.
 

Why are these so cheap all of the sudden? Are they going to be discontinued/end of life now that the Denon Home is out?

Per Denon they will be discontinued but still supported and will work with the new "Home" series and all Heos related products. I asked Denon and that is what they told me.

 Marshall - Stanmore II Voice Wireless Speaker with Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant - Black
Marshall - Stanmore II Voice Wireless Speaker with Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant - Black
Experience a new dimension of music with this Zound Industries smart speaker. The built-in Amazon Alexa feature lets you change songs without lifting a finger. This Zound Industries smart speaker has two 15W amplifiers for powerful, clear sound and a far-field microphone array to recognize commands from across the room.
 

Is the Alexa in the device or do you need an Alexa device to go with it?

I just asked "Alexa" via this Marshall speaker to play Harry Belafonte's "Dance Senora" and it did so! So I think all you need do is ask and so long as it is available, it shall be played. At least that's my experience so far. ;-)

Do I need any other hardware to use with SiriusXM? Does it have the satellite tuner built in?

Not it doesn't have a built-in SiriusXM tuner. You can buy one and have it installed at the same time. I just use my portable with a dock and it's hooked to an input on the unit. That or use the SiriusXM Android App on your phone if you have it.
