A frustration with regular toasters is when the dial gets moved and you don't know it and your level of toasting changes.
This toaster solves that. The display shows you the toasting time. and can be adjusted in 15 to 20 second increments.
There is a cancel button that will stop and eject.

I replaced my Titanium AfterShokz because my new puppy chewed them up. They had excellent sound. However, the Aeropex are a next level up.
I really like the button on the left bow that you can press once to pause and press twice to skip to the next song.
Very comfortable for long wear, works will with glasses.
The only drawback, which is also a benefit, is that they project a little behind your head so wearing a stocking cap can be conflicted.
However, unlike some other brands not having the back side press against your head makes them more comfortable for long term wear.

Professional all the way across the board.
Setting up a TV is not necessarily a difficult task. But when you purchase a large expensive TV you do not want to take the chance that you did something wrong and it does not work after you set it up.

Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is the next generation of our bestselling Floodlight Cam. Protect large outdoor areas like the driveway, garage or backyard with motion-activated LED floodlights, 1080p HD video, and a built-in security siren. Customize the motion zones to monitor specific areas and get real-time notifications when motion is detected. Use the Ring App to see what’s happening, turn on the lights, speak to visitors, and even sound the siren when you need to. It also comes with a free 30-day trial of Ring Protect Plus, so you can review, save and share all your Ring videos at anytime, with anyone.
Will the motion sensor activate both the lights and the camera, and set off the notification on my phone? Is the camera always enabled, so it detects motion and I get a ring notification?
You can set a schedule for your camera or have it always enabled.
Via ring bridge and the app you create groups of devices.
I have one with camera on one side of my garage and one without on the other. I also have a Ring lightbulb in the lantern next to my door.
If either sensor detects motion it can turn both floods on and the single bulb. And the flood without camera can turn on the camera at the same time.
What I am thinking I could do it get another bulb for inside the house and have it set to turn on when the motion sensor detects something and it could be a silent alert.
That might get annoying but it is an option.

Does this security camera/floodlight include a motion sensor?
Yes it does. It is on the bottom.
Using the app on your phone you can even draw in a rudimentary fashion the zone it will detect in.

From what I see on the App you can set the Linked devices to react when the Motion sensor on the Camera Flood detects movement. I speculate you can have all ring lights in and around your house light up when it detects motion.
I have one flood with a camera and another without, on either side of the garage. The one with the camera is near my front door.
I have it set if something enters the sensor from the one without the camera it will light up both and start video on the other, and light up the Ring bulb I have next to my door.

I do not think there is an option for not using video. I just looked at my app and could not see an option.
However, if you don't want video you can purchase the Floodlight with motion sensor for a lot less.
