Comparison with old Norelco
on April 10, 2017
Posted by: rustylizard
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am replacing a very old (10 -12 yrs) Norelco Quadra Action razor that still works. However, its aging nick-cad batteries only gives me about 4 shaves per charge and may not be long for this world. The new razor with its lithium batteries gives me about a month and a half worth of shaves per charge.
The new razor is approximately an ounce lighter than the old, and slightly smaller in girth. I would rate the quality of the shaves as equal. Given the price, I am very satisfied with the razor and I suspect its lifespan will be about the same.
I should mention that I have a very light beard, though I do shave every day. I never bother to buy new heads because after a few hours I can feel new beard growth anyway, so why bother?
Even after all these years, my old razor still cuts close enough with original blades. I prefer electric razors because they keep a lot of steel out of landfills.
One tip - if you pop the head off of your razor and put it in your dishwasher, it cleans up very well and saves a lot of time.

All the features most folks will need.

I chose this camera for its 20X zoom, its OLED touch screen, and its tilting EVF viewfinder. I didn't want a 4K camera because 4K is a waste for things like computer & tv viewing (read CNET on 4K) and the file sizes are way too big. Why pay extra?
I have given the camera a workout, recording a nesting pair of white crowned pigeons through a window for up to 10 hours a day. I used duel Lexar 1000x 128GB memory cards and shooting at high def 1920 x 1080p I was able to record everything on one card (shooting at 4K takes up 4 times as much space, and unless you're shooting a movie for the big screen, you gain nothing).
Here's a tip: You can have the camera select still frame pictures for you (JPEGs), but if you have Adobe Premiere Elements or a similar program, you are better off downloading your video to your computer and grabbing a 'freeze-frame' from the software (in Premiere you get a BMP that is clearer, and in Photoshop Elements or other photo-editing software you can edit it into anything you want).

This drive worked as expected, and is backward compatible to USB 2.0. I downloaded a lot of MP3s from a USB 2.0 port and plugged the unit into the 2.0 USB port of an LG OLED TV. It worked without a hitch.

We used the shelf unit and the Flat Panel Support Post for a 55" TV. Since we did not use the included wall mounting hardware for that TV, we were able to use it for a second (50") TV. The unit ships with plenty of screws and bushings. There was one minor issue when attaching the top glass shelf to the frame - the holes were a little out of allignment. However, since we managed the attachment without drilling or filing, we decided to go with a 5 star rating.
For some people, being able to use this unit for two TVs will be a real money saver.

Is the part inserted into the USB port metal? Some PNY drives are all plastic.
It is metal. And the metal connector can be retracted back into the plastic body.

42" However, the shelf is 50" wide, and if you don't mind putting a component on the shelf that will sit slightly beind one of the curvatures, you will be able to make use of the additional space.

What height does the mount adjust to?
It really depends upon where the mounting holes are in the back of your TV, and on which of the optional levels you have to mount your TV to the two mounting TV bars. The swivel mount also has different heights at which it can be mounted to the bar. I was wondering the same thing before I bought the unit and a TV. I had to wait until I actually received both to understand my options. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Does the mount attach to the wall only or to both the wall as well as the tv?
You have different options. You can use the stand only (without the pole and mount). You can also use just the stand and pole. That's what we did. Our TV sits right on the stand but we use the pole to help organize cables and we ran velcro straps from the pole and attached them to the back of the TV (in case it ever gets a hard bump). You don't have to do that, of course. Most large TVs will hide the post completely, so you won't even see it. Finally, you can also attach the mount to the pole and the back of the TV. That will give you the option to suspend the TV without using its base. The height of the TV will depend upon where the mounting holes are on the back of your TV and the limited height adjustment on the bar. Finally, if you don't use the mounting bracket hardware for that purpose be sure to save it because you can use it to mount another TV to the wall, and it is very sturdy hardware.
If you are asking if you can attach the TV to the mount hardware and still have it sit it on the cabinet on its own base, I think you might have trouble. That's because the mounting bars that attach to the TV can only be moved up and down in set increments. However, even if by chance that happened to work out for you, you would then lose the option to move your TV forward or backward on the cabinet, and it might not sit in accordance to your preferance.

How many pounds can the mount hold if you attach it to the stand?
Does it work for the LCD TV's from about 2010? They are a little thicker and heavier than the current TV's. I want to use it for a 32".
We are using it for a 50" TV that weighs maybe 30 - 40 pounds. The hardware is very sturdy and I think it could take a lot more than that without any trouble. However, we used the top part as a wall mount instead of connecting it to the support pole. As far as the actual hardware is concerned it wouldn't make much difference. I didn't seen any weight restrictions in the assembly instructions, though I might have missed them.

what is the usable distance between shelves?
and what is the weight limit for the top, middle, and bottom shelves?
I have an Onkyo receiver that weighs close to 40lbs and is a little over 7.8" tall and want to be sure it will fit
thanks in advance!

9 3/4" clearance between bottom and second shelf. 10" clearance between second and top shelf. We are only using the middle shelf for three items that weigh less than 20 lbs total, but we have a big old Hitachi receiver that weighs a lot, and I don't think putting it on that shelf would be a problem. However, consider the depth as well. Our Hitachi is 14" deep (including knobs). The center and bottom shelves are just over 15" and 16" deep (before they hit the hardware) respectively. If your Onkyo is deeper than that, then you might want to reconsider.
