...More than adequate! I purchased this for my daughter and her excellent husband. I do NOT buy junque for either friends or family. Apple makes a quality product and this particular MacBook Pro is nothing but a quality piece of equipment.
Is it FAST? Yup!
Is it beautifully made? Yupp!
Is the screen superb-a-mundo excellente'? Yuppers!
Look, I am not here to lie to you just to make myself out to be something other than a satisfied BB & fApple customer. My daughter and her husband reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like their new PowerBook! Like, not "love". Only a fool pretends to love something as inanimate as an inanimate device.
Buy one and I seriously doubt you will be disappointed. I am not. Again, I do NOT buy junque. Neither should you.
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro is a revolutionary hybrid styler that can trim, shave and create clean lines and edges, on any length of hair. Its dual protection system – a glide coating combined with rounded tips – makes shaving easier and comfortable. Its shaving technology features a fast-moving cutter (200x per second) so it's efficient - even on longer hairs. Trim your beard to an even length with the included adjustable precision comb. Dial up one of the 14 lock-in length settings to get everything from a 5 o'clock shadow, to a tight trim, to a longer beard style. OneBlade is water resistant, so it is easy to clean: just rinse it under the tap. You can shave wet or dry, with or without foam - whichever you prefer. Rechargeable Li-Ion battery delivers 120 minutes of constant styling power after a 1 hour charge. The blades are designed for lasting performance. For optimal performance, you will only need to replace each blade every 4 months (For best shaving experience. Based on 2 full shaves per week. Actual results may vary.).* Replacement is easy and hassle free.
 
OneBlade to rule them all...

Bring down the temperature and improve air circulation with a reliable, high-velocity fan that works just as hard as you do. The motor is IPX4 water-resistant and outdoor rated to withstand wet outdoor conditions and tough indoor work environments. Its powder coated steel construction protects against scratches and scuffs, making it a durable option for your workshops, garages, or barns. Use it anywhere: mount it to the wall with the included hardware or use it on the floor with the included stand.

We bought for use in our home gym in the garage. The extra benefit is our 16 year old Labratard pooch reeeeeally likes the breeze this thing makes. He lays in front of it and snoozes like he was a puppy again.
So then, it's great for working out and it's even better for a seasoned citizen pooch! Do I recommend it?
YES! And highly so.

And it works as advertised. I use to count my steps. I use it to count my calories burned. I use it to check my blood pressure. I use it to listen to my Pandora stations. I use it mostly for telling time!
I use it in the real world. And so will you. When you get right down to it and wrist watch is a very handy device and if it's an Apple Watch then it is handy and more. I bought the 40 mm version and while I have a 7.5" wrist, the watch looks fine on me.
I have a handicap and tend to fall. A lot. So I got this watch from Apple as my kids said I could set it up so that if I know myself out (again!) it will call for help. So far I have NOT tested that aspect of it but it is an otherwise fine timepiece and one I recommend solely on the basis that it keeps accurate time, is silent while doing so and when silence is neither wanted or needed, it can play my Pandora stations!
I have tried the EKG doohickey a few times and each time i said I was fine. I knew that... ;-) If you want a "smart" watch you could do far worse than a new fApple watch! I like mine very much! Highly recommended? You betcha!

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.

This Roomba is El Fantasitco! Super-A-Mundo! Excellente'! It's a modern version of the Flintstone's Mammoth-Vacuum! It looks cool and it works GREAT!
I really like it. Even better, my wife likes it too. It has mapped our downstairs and can clean the whole area or just the ones you choose, Living Room. Family Room. Kitchen. Entry Way. You choose and it just does it. Nigh on flawlessly too.
Oh it may get stuck on something but so far that has only happened once out of over 39 cleaning jobs (we have furry shedding pooches!).
It took a few days to map the area but now it is sooo easy to use. I have not yet set up an automatic cleaning schedule but will do so soon. I cannot recommend this model enough! It really is that good. I can be at work and tell it to start cleaning and it does! How sweeeet is that! Hey! My older Roomba does that too! Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
This Roomba is the bestest one yet and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, especially so to people like myself, seasoned citizens with a slight physical handicap. It makes a clean home a clean breeze.

Well, well, well...At last!
I've been through several laptops lately and have finally found one (OoooooOOooo I hope I'm NOT jinxing myself, LOL!) that does NOT crash and give me the BSOD.
Blue Screen of Death. It's like I found where the Pope put "Limbo", LOL!
I even did all the updates and it still works! the touchscreen works too! Of the computers I've tried recently the ASUS had the bestest screen I've ever seen. But, and everyone I know has a big but so lets talk about this big but, the touchscreen was intermittent on both units I bought. An otherwise excellent laptop that was a touchscreen that didn't wanna be touched. Hmmmm...
The Lenovos I tried had the same touchscreen problem as the ASUS. It also had a nasty habit of freezing out the lower 90% if the screen when watching a movie. I documented it on my phone and showed it to my local BB Geek Squad folks. But (again!) the Lenovis had other problems. Problems that other folks also experienced and while misery may enjoy company I would prefer no one else have this happen with their new laptop.
The Lenova would NOT work. Updates froze them out and no matter how many times I RESET the laptop they would just freak out after updating and return to a $1,000+ ornament. I tend to think it was software related but it could also have been a batch o' bad motherboards. Anyway, I tried two of them before giving up on that model. Then I bought this HP.
Through it all Best Buy stood by me, I think I trade in 4 or more laptops on my way to this hopefully final one! I documented the freezing screen and the non-op touchscreen as well as the BSOD, Whether online or in the store, Geek Squad folks were helpful and supportive. The people of Best Buy are a BIG reason I shop here. People are not AI, they are people. Like you. Like me. And they understand and can put themselves in your shoes so long as you don't walk all over them. Treat them as friends, not servants. The ones at the store I use are more friends than just people I see in a store.
And like I said, so far this HP Laptop WORKING just fine! If that changes anytime soon I will be back to update my review. I like to think I out of Limbo at last.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These are for my son and so far he has nothing bad to say about them. Nothing. Nada. Nottating...
They simply work as advertised. I suppose you could ask more but that brings to mind the tale of the Fisherman's Wife. A fisherman caught a fish that talked so...He released it. When he told his wife she yelled at him that there was more there than meets the ear so he needed to go back and see if the fish would grant a wish.
Or two.
Or three.
Or more.
In the end the wife asked to be the Pope and the fisherman was tired of all the whining (and didn't want to be married to the Pope!) so he went back one more time and asked that everything be the way it was. POOF!
It was.
And what has this to do with these Senneisers?
These True Wireless 2 'phones give you what you need and so long as what you need is also what you want, they deliver. It's about the quality of life and the music that is your soundtrack. These deliver both of those.
You could ask for more but you'd foolish to do so.

I have one of these and gave another to my daughter, her husband and their daughter for Christmas. I also have a TP02, TP04 and a DP04.
I also just ordered a DP04 models for my brother and his wife and another DP04 for myself.
Why?
Because I know a QUALITY product not just when I see it but when I read about it and how it has tested and operated in the real world. I live in the real world. Dyson does NOT make junque.
I buy the best I can afford for myself and loved ones and when it comes to Air Filters that is spelled "DYSON"/

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.

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. ;-)

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.

Maybe. Maybe not. Mine sometimes works (rare) but usually doesn't. Very fristrating but now I am told it may be because I have a Motorola Android Phone.

I just bought one today and it goes back tomorrow and all because it DEMANDS that I enter a credit card number and PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Why is this necessary to register and use a Roku or any device for that matter?

Apparently Roku ain't talkin'. I gave the device a single star and would give it zero if I could. It goes back today because I can't find out anything about how to get around Roku's insistence I provide them with PII and credit card info that they have no need for. I got it yesterday for $30 off but I don't care. It is not going in my home. Hey Roku....You can keep it. Pfffffffffftttt!
