I honestly have never known Bissell to have cutting edge technology. This one still is not ahead of the curve, but it surely does things more expensive brands can do.
1) Versatility- I need to clean my floor? No problem. It is in the usual floor vacuum format we are used to seeing. I need to clean my couch? No problem. It detaches to be a good handheld vacuum. I even used it to clean my car—especially those crevices.
2) Listens to me – I always have a hard time getting under the couch, or the kids’ beds, or the dining chair. The floor vacuum folds in the middle so that it can clean those areas WITHOUT ME BREAKING MY BACK.
3) Convenient – charges fast and easy, with the nice light indicator to tell me it’s fully charged and and I can easily stow it with the folding hinges. It is also EASY TO CLEAN / EMPTY and is light to carry—these things we NEED in a vacuum.
4) Reasonable – the feel is not of super high quality, but it is durable and reliable. It does what it needs to do. And most of all, I feel like it is worth more than its actual value (while other brands feel like you overpaid because of the frills).

You know that friend who never treats you to anything but is always there when you need him for things that matter? This is how this one makes me feel. I like it. It is a no-nonsense vacuum.

Very very very pretty mouse, but could be better

Best part of this mouse is that it is easy to carry. It is compact and is the right size. I do not have big hands but the mouse feels like my hand covers it nicely. It also slips into my laptop bag easily without adding the usual mouse bulk in the pockets.
The texture and the quality of material is great too. It feels great to the touch.
It is pretty-- it did turn heads in the meeting room. The mouse itself is of good quality and the color shade is of good taste. Looking at it, you know the product is of high quality.
Other functionalities are straightforward, such as responsiveness and click feedback—all of which Logitech has perfected.
My only concern is the mouse feels a little too flat for me. There is space between my upper palm and the top of the mouse, so it does not feel like my hand is resting. My hands rest more on my fingers than my palm, so there is a little bit of stress there. It could take more getting used to? I don’t know. For short uses though, it didn’t seem like it stressed my hand too much.
I do like it (and my girl does too, especially because I have the nice pink color). It is a good travel mouse, one that you will not be ashamed to whip out in the coffee shop. I won’t use it to do huge worksheets though. But for a mouse that I can carry around while I travel and work remotely with, this is great.

Great especially if you do not have a back up cam!
on November 15, 2019
Posted by: DarR

This dash cam is a good add on to my SUV and maybe to any car. It does require some work but so far, the advantages are worth it for me.
1) Installation is not for amateurs. It did require me to have it installed by a car shop though because I don’t like having wires in my car. Luckily, the installer was able to tuck the wires so that the only wires I have, are the ones running from the mirror to the ceiling which is only a couple of inches. 2) It helps with my backing up. The camera automatically shows a better and wider view as soon as I put my car on reverse. I do not have a newer car. I have a 2009 Land Rover that does not have a back-up camera. So this comes in really handy without me having to complicate my current dashboard console set up. 3) The video is pretty clear so I can record some nice drives without having to ask someone to use my phone for recording. I do not take a lot of camp trips, but when I do, I like recording my trails. This is a great solution for off road trails. 4) It makes me feel more secure and have peace-of-mind. I sometimes park my car on the curb. It makes me feel good that I can capture any incident if something were to happen. 5) My only gripe is that the mirror itself is not as bright and clear as the original one. So using it as a regular rearview mirror takes some getting used to--- but I think, that con does not outweigh the advantages of having this.

Responsive and clear but not too comfortable
on November 13, 2019
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I like these earbuds—there’s so many pros to owning it, except that there is one major con for me.
Packaging-wise, it is great. The soft case serves as a charging station so everything is easy to carry. The case too, has a battery indicator so it helps keep track of the juice.
I also like the response of the buttons on the earbuds. The volume and play/pause have an actual “click” when you press them, unlike some tap commands that you have to guess if your tap ever started an actual action. Plus, you can customize the function of buttons through the app.
The sound quality is pretty clear too. It does lack a little bit of bass, but hey, I’d rather get sound quality over a bassy sound that muffles the crisp of the music. I can adjust them through the equalizer settings of Google Play Music anyway. The phone calls are clear too, and it seems like I did not have any issues with the phone calls I used it with; at least no dropped calls or complaints from them.
My main concern is the comfort. The buds stay in place which is good, because I feel like I really stomp my feet when I run, so keeping them in place is huge. However, I cannot last over 1.5 hours with them on. I’ve tried different positions of the bud in my ear, but they hurt. I want to say it’s my ear size or the way my ears are shaped, but I do not have this issue with other ear buds. Maybe I can figure it out eventually.
Overall, it’s a good device if it fits your ear well. For me, it is good, at least for the first hour.

Smooth and clean-looking in seconds!
on November 6, 2019

This shaver is very easy to use. As long as it is charged, I am ready to go. I have not shaved a lot in months. But Halloween came up and I needed to be Clark Kent. Well, Clark Kent does not have any stubbles, so I needed a reliable shaver.
This device did not fail. I just recklessly kept sliding it onto my chin, cheeks, moustache area, neck-- without fear. It didn't even feel like anything. No hair pulling, and hardly any return to an area I have already shaven. My face felt so smooth, like I was back in my preteen years. It is easy to charge too-- not much accessories and the top comes off easy when I clean it.
My moustache has grown back since then and there aren't any issues with my facial hair. It is still the same as how it was before I shaved it (meaning, no thickening alterations to grown back hair whatsoever).
It is a good shaver. It is not bulky, comfortable to hold and most of all, it's plain reliable, and I think that's what a good shaver needs to be.

It's your wife packaged in a 7 inch device
on November 5, 2019
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Let me make it clear, this device helps manage your snoring. It does not make my snoring stop-- it makes me conscious of my position so that it makes me alter the way I am lying down. It really does help but the best way to understand this device is for you to understand what it really does.
I am a skinny guy with the snore of a war ship. I am really loud when I sleep on my back When I put this on, when I sleep on my back for a good amount of time, it gives me a jolt so that I am aware that I am on my back which is my loud snoring position, so it reminds me to roll to my side. Does it make me sleep better? It depends. The vibration on the device is really strong that it can be disruptive. It is the same as my lady waking me up to make me roll to my side. So it does help manage the snoring which is actually much better for the people who can hear my snore. Honestly, I think this device is more made for the people around me, not me necessarily.
It is a good device. I use a CPAP machine myself. With that, it really helps me sleep soundly while it stops me from snoring while I wear it. The downside is, a CPAP machine requires a power supply and it is a lot to carry. I do not carry my CPAP machine when I travel because it is not convenient.
This is where I believe this sleep snoring band helps me. I simply slip it in any bag and I can go anywhere and have a snoring management solution. It is where my CPAP machine cannot go.
Also, this device takes some getting used to. So when I mentioned earlier, does it make me sleep better?-- it depends. It depends on the people who I sleep with, it depends on how it jolted me in the middle of my dream, it depends how long I stay sleeping on my side.
It is a good device. I like it. Just do not necessarily expect it to stop your snoring or to make you sleep better. Think of it as your wife placed in a 7-inch device. It will help you rollover when you need to.

Versatile, pretty and intuitive in one package!
on October 30, 2019
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I don’t call it just a microwave—I call it a cooking machine! I think I use it more for other things that just microwaving. Well, besides the pretty design (it really looks good on my counter), basic microwaving is easy. It has so many settings—the good thing is, the controls are not-too-difficult to figure out. I know I know a good deal about tech, so I consider me above the curve in navigating appliances and gadgets. My test was for my lady though; I guessed that it will take her a bit of time to understand the settings—such as how to defrost, or to adjust power settings. She did not have any issues at all. She was more excited to play around with it because the screen was informative. I won’t even mention anything about microwaving—it’s a basic function and I felt confident in its capabilities. I airfryed a fish (yes a fish) and it came out great at 20minutes without drying it up the inside. And frozen French fries. Cooking broccoli on it was a breeze too!
So my stove has been neglected for a while. With busy work weeks, this Breville is our go-to for food preparation. It lessens our need for counter space given the multiple functions, and at the same time, makes our counter space look pretty too. Even our visitors liked it. It’s great to have something so versatile and easy-to-use at the same time. I recommend!

I own a couple of soundbars, all on the higher end. I'm a stickler for sound quality, that's why I would rather spend more on better sounding ones. This sound bar though is pretty good for its size.
1) It is compact. It sits perfectly under my 55 inch. 2) Because of it's size, it is easy to install. Two screws on the wall, hung it up and there it is. It also has an installation guide sheet-- there was no way I can fail putting it up. 3) sound quality is more loud than it is crisp. It's not a high-end sound bar. I won't expect it to make me hear every crunch clearly but it does the job pretty well on a small room. It is loud enough, and of course way better than any TV speakers. I stepped out to go to the kitchen, maybe 20 feet away through a hall and at mid volume, I can hear my bedroom rumble.

Do not expect head over heels on this system; there is a lot that it is not. But for a small compact soundbar, it does the job. This is such a good value soundbar.

Words cannot describe how happy this made me feel
on October 16, 2019
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I admit, I lost a little bit of patience having to run wires all around my backyard just to install these speakers. In a wireless era, I was questioning myself, why do I have to run wires across my lawn just to experience music that I can probably hear from wireless systems.
The thing is, I was wrong in many ways and I will try to explain it the best way I can: 1) Even my high-end wireless speakers do not sound this good! Even for wireless speakers that have great full sound, those speakers have nothing on this system that has an unspeakable balance of smoothness and crisp. I do not know if I even made sense there. I played George Michael, Queen, Sting, Cypress Hill and Marshmello—there is something in the delivery that sucks me into the music and makes me feel every little detail of the tunes. 2) it is a 2.1 system but the way it engulfs my space is amazing. It has a MASTERY of what AMBIENT music is--- I tried putting a song in low volume—the music is everywhere without compromising the details of the song. I was listening to it and my lady was staring at me because she said, I looked like I wanted to cry; maybe I did want to. I love music and I am so happy this thing knows how to deliver how I want my music to be. 3) I also have other wired setups—but this one has me wowed. There is a certain conviction with the way music is thrown on a wired setup, we know that. This one though has some sort of presence. It is surround but it has a balance of level on different spots of my backyard. It’s like it knows what to let you hear wherever you are on the floor; and it makes it sound consistent.
I know it is a high-end system. But not all high-end systems deliver, thus my disbelief on certain brands. After really experiencing Sonance, on an open space, I am a believer. It is worth all my frustration with the wires. I want everyone to experience what I hear with this system. Looks like I will be having more parties at home!

Way more than just a pretty item on my countertop!
on October 2, 2019

from Los Angeles CA, USA
I used to think a toaster is a toaster—not anymore. This toaster is not just a toaster. I can do more with this, heat up a lot of different items and it’s easy enough to get items in and out of it. I had to throw away my compact toaster, because it was only used for quick heat ups and some bread slices. That previous toaster was compact but often dirty, so I ended up having an item on the counter that only takes up more space than it is actually functional. This Chefman toaster maximizes my counter space given the flexibility of items that I can heat up with it. It has almost the same footprint as my old toaster and this one looks really pretty too!
Toasting then airfrying all in an hour—no problem! I placed a whole cooked chicken in there that was out on the table for a while, and I get that nice crisp on the skin in a matter of minutes. I placed a tray of frozen French fries in the basket, and airfried them easily!
Anything I mentioned though seem big but are all just minor for me. What’s really is great about this--- it makes toasting OTHER items VERY SIMPLE. Sure it has a recipe book that comes with it—honestly, I don’t know if I will ever make those. But me having the ability to be creative and toast anything WITH EASE, given the inside space of the toaster, the effortlessness of cleaning it, and the dials being SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND, makes me, my lady and other members of the household very happy. And to me, that’s what matters the most! 1 million stars!!
