Nothing about your personal style is standard. So why should your appliances be? Created for those who want to reflect their true style in every room of their home, Café is distinct by design. Backed by showstopping features, every Café appliance gives you the form and the function you've been craving. Now that exceptional style is coming to your countertops thanks to elegant and efficient toasters, which feature the signature Café copper accents that truly elevate your experience. Embrace a toaster that you can be proud to present on your counters that also boasts four pre-set functions that allow you to customize your toast to your preferences. The innovative Express Finish setting creates delectable toast in about a minute, while additional operating functions such as Frozen, Bagel, Reheat and Cancel, all help you curate your ideal toasting experience. Even clean-up is a breeze thanks to the copper-plated catch tray which collects crumbs as they fall to the bottom of the toaster and prevents them from scattering across the counter.

Excellent wide slot toaster
on December 7, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
I have really appreciated having the Cafe - Specialty 2-Slice Toaster. It has functioned perfectly with every item I have toasted, and it looks very stylish. This toaster comes with 2 wide slots which is very nice for thick items, like bagels or frozen waffles. The controls are all on one end, with a slideout crumb tray that can be utilized from the side. The amount of toasting is controlled by a knob that provides 8 settings, and I found that bread of average thickness can be toasted on 3 while a thicker slice will likely need to set on 4. There are push buttons for power, bagels, frozen items that need thawed, and for Express Finish which will get an item toasted very quickly. The button for Cancel is located on the toasting setting knob. I can confirm that bagels, frozen waffles, thin bread, and thick break all toast perfectly with this toaster. The toasting setting really work too, as I can see a difference with the toasting level between each number. The crumb tray releases with the push of a button and is easy to slide back in. The toaster looks very classy with a matte silver finish and copper accents. It is a modern look, but would fit well into any kitchen style. Overall, this is a great toaster for any item you would like to toast, and a great toaster for any kitchen style.

Great results from Bose Sleepbuds II
on October 29, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Bose Sleepbuds II worked for me as advertised, providing a better night sleep than I was getting before using them. Using the Sleepbuds II helped me to fall asleep faster into quality sleep which in turn helped me to feel more refreshed and relaxed in the morning. I used to own the original Bose sleepbuds so I am familiar with the product. I can say that the Bose Sleepbuds II are far superior to the original in quality and sleep results. Before talking about this new product, if you aren't familiar with the Bose sleepbud concept you should know a few things about the product. You cannot play your own music or sounds, listen to audiobooks, or use the sleepbuds to answer phone calls. This product connects to your mobile device as long as it supports Bluetooth, and you will need to install the Bose Sleep app. The Bose sleep app provides the user with a large selection of sounds that you can sample. They fall into three categories: noise masking, tranquilities, and naturescapes. As you find sounds that you would like to try, they will need to be uploaded to the earbuds. For me on a relatively modern Android phone, it took about a minute to upload each sound to the sleepbuds. Once uploaded, the Sleep app allows you to play the sounds you've selected and program the how you would like the sleepbuds to work. You can program alarms and how you want them to work from the Sleep app. Because the alarm settings get programmed to the earbuds similar to the sounds, the alarm will still work even if your phone dies. You can also use the Sleep app to set your sleepbuds so that you get an alert if you receive a phone call. Again, you can't answer the call via the sleepbuds or use them as a microphone; you will have to use your mobile device to handle all aspects of the call. Regarding the feel and performance of the sleepbuds, it is the exceptional quality that you would expect from a Bose product. The earbuds are smaller than the previous versions, but set comfortably in my ear all night. They never fell out of my ear. The seal of the silicone tip felt good in my ear, and there is a silicone tip that fits in the curve of your ear that helps the sleepbuds to stay in place. Bose changed the texture on the outside of the sleepbuds to slide comfortably over pillow cases with practically no noise which is incredibly nice if you are the sort of sleeper that has a lot of head movement during your sleep. The sleepbuds are also sweat-resistant if you sleep hot. The quality of the sound seemed very nice to me, delivering crisp noise with clarity all night. The battery in the sleepbuds will last about 10 hours. The charging case doubles as both daytime storage and a charging station. It takes about 3 hours to charge the case, which will then provide about 3 full charges to the sleepbuds when they are inserted which takes about 6 hours. So if you start with fully charged sleepbuds with 10 hours of charge, and then they can get 3 charges out of the charging case, it means you can get about 40 hours of use before thinking about the next charge. My results were positive. It takes some trial and error to find the noises that work. It took me three nights to get the right sounds and to determine how long I wanted it to play through the night. I wore them all night and they felt fine in my ears even in the early morning. I often struggle falling asleep because my brain just doesn't shut off easily. But I found that I feel asleep within the first fifteen minutes of wearing these sleepbuds, every time. It seemed like I woke up much less than normal in the middle of the night. The good, deep sleep must have been rehabilitative for me because I felt really good when I woke up, which is rare. I was less groggy and moved into starting my day more quickly and with more energy. I wasn't sure initially if the sleepbuds would make much a difference in my day since I knew what they were about, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I sleep with my sleepbuds in every night, all night, and sleep is enjoyable for the first time in a long time. I would highly recommend the Bose Sleepbuds II for users that have trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep, whether you are new to sleepbuds or have experienced them before now. These sleepbuds are simply the best in my opinion, and you won't regret this purchase when you experience the benefits that these sleepbuds provide.

Amazing Dual Purpose Headset
on October 9, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II Gaming Headset is an excellent product from Bose that accomplishes both being a high quality headset for music and daily functionality and also a high quality headset for gaming and chat purposes. The headset looks sharp, being mostly black with copper highlights. It is surprisingly light compared to other high-end headsets that I have tried in the past, but they also do not feel weak in any way. I wear glasses full-time so I do pay attention to the pressure of the clamping on my ears. With the QC II headset, I experienced no clamping issues even with listening sessions that were hours long. The leather covers over the earcups felt fine. The first thing I did was download the Bose Connect app on my Android. This app allowed me to adjust different settings and noise cancellation features. An interesting capability is that a person could connect another QC 35 headset for dual listening purposes. There are buttons on the headet itself: bluetooth, noise cancelling, volume up/down, one button that contols play/pause/skip/calls, and a button for Alexa/Google. I used this headset on both my PC and my PS4 Pro. It sounded great with both systems. I own a good headset already for gaming but it felt like I could hear my teammates better playing Modern Warfare with the QC II. At one point, I had my son join my team on the PS4 while I played on PC. I asked him how my voice sounded while I had a loud fan running fairly close to me. He verified that my voice sounded crystal clear, verifying that the Bose noice-cancelling technology works incredibly well. With music and calls, the sound is crystal clear. I expected nothing less from a Bose product. One of the unique features of this headset is that it comes with a removable gaming module and an optional PC desktop controller. The gaming module basically is a boom microphone that plugs into the headset via a 3.5mm jack to create what I typically think of as a gaming headset. The boom was naturally in a good position and I didn't notice it once I was in some action. To be clear, there are still microphones in the headset even with the gaming module not plugged in so the headset still has great voice functionality without the module. The PC desktop controller is a nice addition. It plugs into a PC via USB A that is about 8 feet long and has 2 main functions: a volume dial on top and mic monitoring where I could hear myself talk through the headset at various volumes. These additions really set it apart from other competitors that are either mainly for music or daily call functions, or for gaming, but not for both. As a user that splits my time between these two worlds, these additions made it clear that Bose understood what I needed to be successful as both a worker and a player. This headset can be used in a wired and wireless/bluetooth setup. In wired mode, a full charge lasted me about 18 hours. In wireless mode, a full charge has lasted me over 30 hours and I have not reached the end of that charge. To me, that is impressive given the quality of the sound I'm hearing and the features that are present. There is also a quick charge feature that for 15 minutes of charge will provide at least 2.5 hours of functionality. This headset truly does it all, and it does it with all of the Bose quality that I expected. It sounds great, it looks great, it feels great to wear, and it seems durable. It provides everything I need to sound great and hear everything for my work during the day, and then transforms into an excellent gaming setup when I want to use it for that purpose. I highly recommend the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II Gaming Headset for anybody looking for a high quality headset for any purpose.

Better sound begins with better silence. That’s why Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are engineered with the world-class noise cancelling and high-fidelity audio. Microphones inside and outside the earphones sense noise and react instantaneously to cancel the signal. Get rid of disruptions so you can turn up the music on your wireless earbuds and amplify whatever you’re most passionate about — from hiking or circuit training to coding or baking. And when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, minimize noise cancelling with a quick double tap, so you can walk down a busy street or listen for your boarding announcement. StayHear Max tips provide extra comfort and stability for an even better experience. Rule the Quiet with Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and get an exhilarating experience that’s tough to find in any other Bluetooth earbuds. The Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds are available in Triple Black, Soapstone and limited-edition Sandstone or Stone Blue.

High quality Bose earbuds
on October 7, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Indiana
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are the best Bose product I have owned yet. I will preface that by saying that I am not normally a big fan of earbuds; I am more of a headphones guy. But these earbuds by Bose have changed my mind. The sound quality is really quite unbelievable for such small devices. I listened to music via both my phone and my computer, and it sounds just as good if not better than my quite expensive headset. Everything is controlled either via a touch interface or via the Bose Music app. I appreciated that when I took them out in the middle of a song that that automatically stopped playing the music so that I didn't have to spend any time shutting it down before having an in-person conversation. Also, I can verify that phone calls not only sound good, but the quality of my voice even in loud conditions is crystal clear to people on the other end of the call. It also worked on Skype calls with my job, and with my Android assistant on my phone. I kept the earbuds in during a couple workouts and they felt fine. They aren't as small as earbuds that you might be used to that are geared for workouts, and you will notice they are in, but I didn't find it to be a big deal. Their quality is simply too nice. The earbuds and the case are sweat-resistant and have gone through IPX4 testing, but they aren't waterproof. They are not waterproofAfter a full charge, the earbuds lasted about six hours. There are multiple options for charging, with either a quick charge for about 2 hours of playtime or a longer charge in the charging case. They also charge with a Qi charging pad, if you happen to have one already. You will want to download the Bose Music App for either Apple or Android because that is the way that you can personalize your listening options and control the noise cancelling feature. They feel sturdy and I expect that they will last quite a while for me, along with the charging case. Overall, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are a great package for home or work, music or calls, and I would recommend them highly for anybody thinking about getting earbuds that belong in a class of their own.

Great oven with air frying as a bonus
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Maine
The Chefman Chef IQ 20-Liter Dual Cook Air Fryer Toaster Oven has worked very well on a variety of settings that I have used. It was very quick to get out of the box and onto my kitchen counter. It feels very sturdy, but it is not overly bulky. After reading the quick start guide, I was able to bake some cookies to perfection. I then air fried some french fries, and using the Dual Cook feature I was able to automatically keep the fries warm for 15 minutes after they were done so that it aligned with some items I was grilling. It worked like a charm! I also used to Frozen feature to thaw a frozen bagel to the point that I could slice it, then I put the oven on Toasting and toasted the bagel to the darkness of my liking. With the interior light, I could easily see through the window on the front door of the oven how done the bagel was getting. It was perfect. It reheats leftovers quickly with the warming feature. I enjoyed using the push button interface with the digital readout; it was intutive despite how many features are available. So far, this oven has done everything I have asked it do quite well. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an air fryer or an alternative to using a large oven for cooking items.

Great wired headset
on August 24, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Maine
The Razer Blackshark V2 is a great wired headset for multiple platforms. I have used other Razer products in the past with my PC but this was my first time using a Razer product on my PS4. I am coming to see Razer as a leader in accessories in both spaces now. There are 2 ways that the headset plugs in, either directly into a 3.5mm jack or via a USB dongle that also serves as a sound card. I tried it first on my PS4 Pro. I connected the USB dongle into the console and then connected the headset to the dongle. I was a little disappointed because the sound quality was not great at that point, and other people had trouble hearing me. So I disconnected the USB dongle from the console and plugged the headset into the 3.5mm jack on the DualShock 4 controller. The headset worked much better. I experienced great sound quality and nobody had issues with hearing me on the mic. Since it is a wired headset, being plugges into the controller works better anyway by giving me better cord range than being plugged into the console. This headset is very comfortable, even after long sessions. I wear glasses and I never felt pinched around my ears or the stems of my glasses. The headset feels very durable, and expands for larger head sizes via a sturdy metal rod system that extends from the headband. It is a unique looking system and gives the impression that it could handle being extended and pushed back in countless times without any wear. The mic boom is very adjustable and never feels in the way. I also tried it on my PC via the USB dongle/sound card. It worked flawlessly. I have a Razer keyboard so I had the Razer Synapse app already operating, and it was simple to add the Blackshark V2 into it. A quick change of my sound settings to make it my default mic input and sound output, and then right into some games and music. I'm not an audiophile, but this headset sounds great no matter what I am doing. Overall, if you are in the market for a wired headset that has good audio quality, good mic quality, that is comfortable and durable, with the added bonus of working easily on multiple platforms, I would highly recommend the Razer Blackshark V2.

Great product for teeth whitening
on June 3, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Maine
The Snow Teeth Whitening System seems to be working very well. In one week, it moved my teeth coloration up one level toward bright white and I believe within the recommended 21 days that I will see even better results. The system is easy to use and intuitive. First time use took 3 minutes to setup and get to the UV light whitening. All you do is brush your teeth, put this gel-like serum on your teeth by twisting the cap on the applicator pen, plug in the UV light mouthpiece into your phone, and relax for 10 to 30 minutes. I have tried several products like this and I was pleased that the serum did not burn my gums at all, which can be a common issue. I have an average-sized mouth, and the mouthpiece was comfortable for all 20 minutes that I used it each night. The UV light emits no heat, just a bright blue light that should be mostly covered by your closed lips. I highly recommend the Snow Teeth Whitening System. It is the best product that I have used for this purpose: easy and effective.

Fun for the kids
on May 16, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Maine
The Nerf Fortnite AR-Rippley Motorized Elite Dart Blaster is a lot of fun for the kids and looks very nice. It is meant to emulate the look of a gun skin from Fortnite, and it does with various shades of blue in a wavy pattern. It looks different from any other large Nerf gun that I have seen, and my kids appreciated that. It operates by inserting the manually loaded clip of 10 Nerf darts, pressing a button near the trigger to engage the motor, and then pulling the trigger. All ten darts will shoot out quite quickly and with good velocity. The motor runs off 4 AA batteries, not included. It seems to get decent battery life because my kids have been using it fairly constantly the last few days and the batteries have not needed to be changed out. The motor is somewhat loud in an enclosed space, although not as loud as other motorized Nerf guns we have used. One issue to be aware of is that this Nerf gun has no way to fire without using the battery-powered motor, so there is no quieter way to use it. A way to fire it manually would have been nice. Overall, it is very popular with my kids both for the cool look and for the quick firing rate. I would encourage the kids to play with it outside due to the motor noise.

Great QHD monitor
on April 27, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Maine
The OMEN by HP 27i gaming monitor is a very good monitor for both gaming, multimedia, and normal use. I use my computer in all of those ways frequently, and this monitor made such a difference that I will not be using my old FHD monitor anymore. This monitor does have a 27 inch viewable area, and the display is IPS LED. It was very simple and quick to get this monitor hooked up to my laptop. It comes the power cord, a DisplayPort cable, a HDMI cable, and a USB Type-A to B cable. My laptop's graphics card uses HDMI output, so setup was as simple as getting the stand setup, plugging in the HDMI to both the monitor and my laptop, and then plugging in the power cord. The monitor also has three USB 3.0 ports: 2 for downstream, 1 for upstream. The monitor sits on a sturdy square stand using double pillars. I found the stand and pillars to be sturdy to the hard touch, while providing firm, reassuring resistance when trying to rotate the monitor. The black bezel is thickest along the bottom edge, with thin bezel on the other three edges. The User Controls are standard: Color, Image, Gaming, Power, Menu, Management, Language, Input, and Information. It was intuitive to get into the User Controls and tweak the settings to my taste. The QHD 16:9 image this monitor produces is incredibly nice, and noticeably better that the image of my old FHD monitor. It supports a number of resolutions, up to the QHD 2560x1440. What this means is that if you have the graphics card in your computer to support it, you can get a 2K image from the monitor. I went into my commonly played games and tweaked the settings up to the 2560x1440 resolutions, and it made such an impressive difference in how those games looked. It wouldn't seem that a step from FHD to QHD would be that big, but after seeing the difference I won't be going back. The monitor has a response time of 1ms, and I had no observed issues with response lag. Netflix and Disney Plus looked very nice, and the clarity really popped for me. I tried sitting at different common viewing angles and the image looked good in all of them. The one feature that I had to adjust the most is brightness. This monitor has a brightness of 350 nits, but I found I had to keep adjusting the brightness higher to get to an image that I liked. The room I had it in is somewhat bright and the montitor does have effective anti-glare, so it may be a non-issue for an average or darker viewing area. That is the only issue that I have with this monitor. Overall, this is a very good monitor that provides an incredible QHD image that is a noticeable step up from FHD. It produced a quality image no matter what I was using it for, and I would reccommend it for any user looking for their next monitor.

Great Vacuum/Mop Combo
on April 3, 2020
Posted by: Robs
from Maine
The ECOVACS Robotics Deebot Ozmo T5 would be an excellent addition to any household with any kind of flooring material. I have owned several different brands and varieties of robotic vacuums over the years and this model shows that the technology is getting better with every evolution. Setup is very quick, with a couple brushes to install and letting the unit charge up. Also, use your phone to scan the QR code on the unit to get the app for your phone, which in my situation was the Android variety. The app takes a little getting used to and you'll need to be on a 2.4ghz wifi channel, but overall is effective in showing the progress of the vacuum as it maps and then later cleans the floors. Rooms can be named or divided so that you can tell the vacuum to only sweep or mop those certain areas. It will also save different maps for different levels of the home, so it remember the layout of my first and second floors. The initial charging didn't take very long and then I had the unit begin the mapping process. It performed well with the mapping, moving at a decent pace and naigating around obstacles. The unit does move faster once it is sweeping instead of mapping. I thought it was neat that the unit will remember the room it was sweeping and the progress it made when the battery runs low, so that once it charges up it can resume precisely where it left off. Our house has a dog and a cat, so there is a decent amount of animal hair that is shed on the floor. I found the unit picked up about 95% of the hair in heavily soiled areas. In comparison to other robot vaccums I've used, this is really good. I felt it did a great job with debris and hair on both hardwood and carpeted areas. It knows when it is transitioning to a different flooring type and operates slightly differently accordingly, which is a good thing. The mopping feature worked better than I had expected! Again, with pets, there are some hard surface areas with sticky spots, and the unit did a pretty good job removing many of those spots. It wasn't perfect, but you can't use soap and it can only apply so much downward pressure. If you have a sticky spot that is really caked on with something hard, you will probably need to get out the mop, but for most sticky areas (or just to get a good shine) I felt the mopping feature was fantastic. It never became confused with obstacles or furniture. I also tried it near the stairs on the second floor of my house, and the sensing prevented it from falling down the stairs which was excellent! The initial charge lasted 4 hours, which was multiple times of sweeping and mopping. The vacuum looks very nice and runs fairly quietly. If you turn the suction up to the highest level, it is more noticeable. Overall, this is the best robotic vacuum that I have owned, and the mopping feature is a huge bonus. It will work well with any flooring type, multiple floors, and floors with obstacles. I highly reccommend this unit!

Maintain a comfortable home environment with this Kyvol HD3 humidifier, which humidifies your home and soothes dry skin and reduces coughing, congestion and other symptoms by keeping proper air humidity at around 45% to 60%. The ultra-quiet ultrasonic feature ensures better sleep quality and 75 hours super long-lasting runtime to help indoor plants grow healthier, especially during dry winter season.
 

Where is the opening to fill the tank? Top, back, bottom? Wondering the ease of filling it. Thanks

To fill the tank, you remove the tank from the base and turn the tank upside-down as the opening is on the bottom underneath a screw cap. I have had humidifiers where that is a pain because of the weight when the tank is filled and because fitting it back on the base was clumsy. With this tank only holding about 1.1 gallons, the weight was fine. No problems flipping it when full and then situating it on the base.

Does this mouse have a battery included? Is the battery replaceable?

This mouse can be used wired via the cord or wirelessly via a USB A dongle once the mouse is charged. There is no bluetooth mode. This isn't the sort of wireless mouse that needs AA or AAA batteries. It has a rechargeable lithium battery inside.

Does these work for PS5, If so how well? Thanks in advance.

It works very well with the PS5, but can be a bit heavy on the head over time.

Does this not have a chat mixer on it?

In the iCue software that controls the ARGB and includes an equalizer with presets, there is a mode that prioritizes chat. However, there is no chat mix button or toggle on the headset itself.

Can sleep buds 2 connect blue tooth to different apps on my phone?

No. Bose made the decision that the Sleepbuds will only connect via bluetooth to the Bose Sleep app which will only play from a selection of sounds. These are not for listening to music, answering calls, or for audiobooks. The sole intent is to help people fall asleep.

I have the original Bose - Sleepbuds....are these the same thing or improved in some way?

I think they are improved. The shape fit better in my ear and there was less noise from the sleepbuds sliding on the pillowcase or turning my head. I also think the sound technology has improved with the sounds available on the Bose Sleep app. I saw improved sleep results in both the time it took me to fall asleep and the quality of my sleep.

If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night

Yes, there is an alarm feature as part of the Bose Sleep app that connects with the sleepbuds. The interesting part is that because the sleepbuds have their own memory, and the alarm you would set would be uploaded to the sleepbuds, the alarm will actually work even if your mobile device runs out of battery.

Better sound begins with better silence. That’s why Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are engineered with the world-class noise cancelling and high-fidelity audio. Microphones inside and outside the earphones sense noise and react instantaneously to cancel the signal. Get rid of disruptions so you can turn up the music on your wireless earbuds and amplify whatever you’re most passionate about — from hiking or circuit training to coding or baking. And when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, minimize noise cancelling with a quick double tap, so you can walk down a busy street or listen for your boarding announcement. StayHear Max tips provide extra comfort and stability for an even better experience. Rule the Quiet with Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and get an exhilarating experience that’s tough to find in any other Bluetooth earbuds. The Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds are available in Triple Black, Soapstone and limited-edition Sandstone or Stone Blue.
 

Are these noise canceling on the "Microphone" side as well? I'm often in Coffee shops, with a lot of ambient noise, and I'd like to find something that reduces background noise for the listeners on the other side.

Yes, it blocks out all noise but your voice. I felt like they did a very good job with that.

Are you able to run with the QuietComfort Earbuds? Do they stay in your ear while you go on runs?

Yes, they'll stay in your ear. I think this version will stay in a runner's ear better than previous version thanks to their new design. They aren't as small as workout-specific earbuds, but they felt nice. And they are meant for all day wear.
