Limited Compatibility Keyboard
on October 21, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
I was excited to order the Logitech K600 Keyboard to use with the TVs in my house, for when I'm using onscreen menus, using Netflix etc.
Seeing that the keyboard is compatible with Sony Bravia TV's (of which I have two) this seemed like a great product for me to ditch the remote and have a sleek, nicely designed and well laid out keyboard to use instead.
Opened the keyboard to set it up, and looked at the instructions, seemed easy enough, 1, 2, 3 and you're done. Numbered stickers on the keyboard helped you along the way. Set up the keyboard and plugged in the USB receiver into my TV. Nothing. Then a message, this USB product is not compatible with this device.
Come to find out that the keyboard is only compatible with Sony Bravia TVs from 2016 onwards. So, that counted out the 2014 Sony Bravia TV in my living room. I relocated upstairs to my 2016 Sony Bravia TV in a playroom. Same result, not only does the keyboard not work with Bravia TVs before 2016, it also doesn't work with Bravia LCD TVs, but only the OLED or Ultra HD TVs.
Therefore in my experience, the keyboard has limited smart TV capability, for those who don't read the small print or impulse buy, just reading 'Sony Smart TV Comaptability'.
So, moving on, I next connected to my cell phone using he bluetooth settings, pairing was smooth and easy and worked nicely. I was able to open Apple Notes, and instantly start typing notes. The keyboards great at being able to switch between my iPhone and my Macbook, that worked seamlessly.
Logitech have done a nice job with the design of the keyboard, it's nice looking, it feels good and has a nice weight to it. The key travel is nice with a firm feel to them. No complaints there.
But these aren't the reasons I picked up the keyboard, not to attach to my iPhone, iPad or Macbook, but to use it with my TVs, to be able to have another way of browsing through the menus, and it just didn't work for me. I wanted to love the keyboard, but I can't.

World Class Noise Canceling Headphones!
on September 20, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
These Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Canceling headphones are truly exceptional. They are well built, incredibly comfortable and the battery life is a superb 30 hours. And with that, if you plug them in to charge for 10 mins, you get an additional 5 hours of life out of them. Way to go Sony!
I have a pair of the leading competition to this new offering from Sony, which I used on a recent trip to Iceland. When I first put these Sony headphones on and turned on the noise canceling function, it was like how I imagine sticking your head into a vacuum in space. It was almost complete silence, unlike the competition!
Turned on my 'goto' when using new headphones, Disturbed's version of 'The Sound of Silence'. It has a range of lows, highs, bass, heavy guitar and clean crisp vocals. To start with, it sounded 'ok'. But after turning on the Sony Headphones Connect app, there is a variety of controls in there that amp the sound up no end.
Adaptive Sound Control: detects how you are using the headphones, if you are siting, standing, running etc and adjusts the noice canceling function appropriately.
Ambient Sound Control: A manual versions of the above, allows you to focus on voice and mute out ambient sound.
Noise Canceling Optimizer: Runs a routine with the headphones on your head, measures atmospheric pressure and adjusts the sounds based on your wearing preference.
Sound Position Control: You are able to adjust where the sound field comes from around your head. This one stumbled me a little, as I get making the sounds a little more spatial, above you or in front of you, but you have control to position the sound to the front left, front right, rear left and rear right individually, not sure when you would use that.
Sound (VPT): This gives you the opportunity to enhance the sound using preset parameters, including Arena, Club, Outdoor Stage, and Concert Hall.
Equalizer: Allows custom adjustment of the Clear Bass signal and also 5 sound equalizers to fine tune the sound to your liking.
Sound Quality Mode: You can choose a priority based on sound quality or a stable connection to your music source.
DSEE HX: This Digital Sound Enhancement Engine enables you to be able to listen to your music library in near High Resolution Audio thanks to some clever monkeying around the Sony engineers came up with!
Function of the Ambient button: You can configure this button to change the ambient sound of the headphones or control Google Assistant.
Auto Power Off: You can adjust the time that elapses between non-use of the headphones and when they power down to conserve battery life.
Overall, once the app is configured to your liking and your sound preferences, these headphones deliver clear vocals, nice punchy bass even when not turned up loud at all, and the noise canceling functionality beats the traditional front runner!
And the trick up it's sleeve, the right hand ear cup is touch sensitive. Swipe up to turn up the volume, down to turn the volume down, swipe in front of you to advance a track and back to rewind. Double tap pauses, a second double tap resumes your music. A long press in the center activates Siri or Google Assistant and best of all, if you cup your whole hand over the right cup, your music fades down, noise cancelation stops, and the ambient volume kicks in, meaning you can hear the voices around you, amplified into the headphones, without the need to take the headphones off at all. Remove your hand from the cup and they go back to playing music at the volume you had set, with the noise canceling functionality back in place. Truly remarkable technology. Absolutely love these headphones. They are now my goto headphones that I carry into work every day!

Fantastic Backyard Upgrade
on August 12, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
When the bespoke Magnolia Outdoor Streaming Bundle arrived, I was surprised how large the packaging was. Inside the box were 4 items, all individually packaged, so this has been put together as a kit by Magnolia/Best Buy. You get the two Sonance MAG 06 Outdoor Speakers, the Sonos Connect:Amp and the iPort xPress remote. (Description says 'Audio Keypad' but lets face it, it's a remote!).
I opened the Sonos Connect:Amp first, as it's the coolest looking piece of kit in the box. It's a nice, sleek designed box in aluminum and white. It has three buttons on the front, play, and volume up and down. That's it. On the back, you get four really nicely engineered, spring loaded speaker wire terminals. They push and grab the wire when you place it in the hole. Very secure connection. There is also a subwoofer connection and a voltage switcher, two ethernet ports and audio left and right connections. It's vented on top to let out the heat. This unit is NOT rated to be left outdoors. It is not waterproof or weatherproof at all.
Next up was the iPort xPress remote. It is a relatively simple remote with play/pause, next track, favorite, volume up and down buttons. This remote is wifi enabled, so it will work anywhere that you have wifi signal in the house. So you don't have to worry about a signal not going through walls or glass to get to your Sonos Connect:Amp.
It charges via an included USB adapter and charges within 3 hours. A little LED status indicator on there lets you know what state it's in and charge apparently lasts 6 months.
It charges via an included USB adapter and charges within 3 hours. A little LED status indicator on there lets you know what state it's in and charge apparently lasts 6 months.
Next I opened the Sonance MAG 06 Outdoor Speakers, which are IP66 Weatherproof rated. They were larger an slightly heavier than I was expecting, but their build quality is excellent. They feel really tactile, the included mounting hardware and brackets feel nice and solid. They have connection terminals on the front of the speakers in an IP rated and sealed area, making it easier to keep them water tight, but to also access them during installation.
I mounted the brackets using the screws from my pre-wired speaker housings on my back patio. The holes in the mounting bracket match up perfectly with an electrical box outlet, and being as that was cemented into my wall, it was the perfect place to mount the bracket. Two screws and pulling the wires through the center of the bracket was a breeze. (Please note that no speaker wire is included in this kit at all). My house was pre-wired for outdoor speakers, so that is what I used.
The speakers are a little heavy to hold in one hand and feed the speaker wire from the back to the front, so I ended up resting it on my shoulder as I did do. The clip into the speaker bracket with a satisfying and authoritative 'click'. They are adjustable up and down (or side to side depending on how you mount the bracket), with a locking mechanism as well. There is a black IP rated cover to go over the speaker connections, and then white vanity grills to go over the front of the speakers.
With the outside part sorted, I headed back indoors and got to work setting up the Sonos Connect:Amp.
Using the spring clamps in the back I hooked up the speaker wires into the back of the Sonos Connect:Amp and plugged it in. It turns on with a green light on the front and that is it.
Downloaded the Sonos App and also the iPort app for the remote.Setting up the Sonos Connect:Amp was really simple, you find the product within the app and it walks you through setting it up. Took about 4 mins total to set up (assuming you have your wifi password to hand!). The iPort app is equally as easy to use and connect to your Sonos system.
I then linked my Spotify family account and my Amazon Music account to the Sonos system and pressed play.
First song I played was Disturbed's rendition of 'The Sound of Silence', which has amazing clarity, and depth of bass along with rising intensity throughout. It sounded good, but not amazing, like the Klipsch and Pioneer Elite setup I have in my living room.
Delving a little deeper into the app, I found out why... you have control over EQ and Loudness settings as well under 'My Room'. Click on that in the app and you can adjust the settings there. The whole system 'woke up' then, filled the patio with strong, dynamic sound, enveloping me while I was grilling! Sounded a lot, lot better than I was expecting for an outdoor system. Very impressed with the sound. It's bright and loud without distortion. The bass is strong without being overbearing. I would highly recommend this package to anyone wanting to extend their music collection out into the back yard!
Very impressed!

High quality, dedicated sleep buds.
on July 8, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
The first thing you'll notice when you open up the Bose noise-masking sleep buds is the quality. Opening the charging case, it's a wonderfully weighted, aluminum case, not plastic, with a solid, rubber, non-slip base. The case opens by sliding the lid rearward. You are presented with the two sleep buds, and 5 little round lights. These show the state of charge, with all five dots lit showing a full charge. To the left and right of these are two longer pulsing lights. These are the charging lights for the two sleep buds.
The sleep buds are attached to the case with two tiny magnets on the underside of the units. They come with the 'Medium' fitting installed from the factory. Testing out all three sizes, the medium fitting worked best for my wife. I've been excited for my wife to test these out so see if she can drown out my snoring, which I believe is going to be the primary use for most people spending this much on dedicated sleep buds. These buds DO NOT play music through them at all, just the preloaded soothing sounds from Bose. They are not headphones. And they are not noise-cancelling, simply due to their small form. They are about the size of your pinkie when taken out of their rubber ear shaped molds.
Download the Bose Sleep App and you can connect the sleep buds to your phone. In doing so, you are able to connect to the sounds that will play in your ear as you sleep. I chose to take the sleep buds out of the case and put them on top of my phone as they connected. You can adjust the sound volume and the style of ambient sound that you want to hear, ranging from babbling brook to subtle wind, to waterfalls. I believe there are 12 sounds overall.
So - with my wife excited to try these out, she walked around the kitchen and pushed them into her ears, getting a nice seal on them, and curving the ear shaped pieces into the recess in her ear. She then had my son and I pretend to snore and try and talk to her, while she adjusted the volume and a broad smile beamed across her face as she shouted 'I can hardly hear you both at all!!!!'. This appeared to be the answer to her prayers, and respite from my snoring! She was soooo excited. So these things really do work!
Moving forward to this weekend, and the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 stars, we went on a trip to see family, we stayed up late after traveling from Dallas to Atlanta, and my wife was really tired. We got into bed and she tried putting the sleep buds in her ears while tired and in the dark. This to me, I consider a 'real world' test. She was able to get the buds in her ear, but couldn't get them 'locked in' to her ears, so they were uncomfortable and fell out. She tried three more times and got frustrated, gave up and resorted to her tried and true earplugs.
What she would like to see from Bose is a short video on how to insert the ear buds correctly, so that she can practice and get it right every single time. When she tried them on in the kitchen as mentioned above, she was able to look at the buds, adjust the orientation after looking at them, and make them fit snugly, and therefore reaping the full benefit from the product. In the real world scenario, trying to insert them in the dark, while tired, she wasn't able to get them to lock in to her ears, meaning they didn't work at that time.
Overall, the Bose Sleep Buds ARE a great product. The are well engineered, well presented with a robust design, casing, and are aesthetically pleasing. And they DO work, and they work well.
They are however, a little more challenging to get into your ears in the dark when you are tired, and they are quite expensive, as a replacemment for your usual ear plugs.

Philips Have Nailed Outdoor Lighting!
on July 8, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
I've been using Philips Hue lights around the house for years now. The ability to voice control my lights is fantastic.
This new addition to the Philips Hue range, the Lily Outdoor lights is a great extension to an already versatile line of lights and accessories.
The lights, casing and cabling are all made to a high standard and appear to be very durable. The housings are black coated aluminum, the 3 cables are heavy-duty with 2 watertight 3-way connectors.
I took the products out of the boxes and put them together. They come with either wall mountable bases (installed from the factory) or extended ground spikes. I assembled the two-piece ground spikes and removed the wall mountable bases. Plugged the lights into the wall and they turn on automatically.
Next, you will need to open your Philips Hue app and connect them to your Philips Hue Hub (a hub is not included in this base kit). The user manual has little stickers on it with the serial no's of the three lights in the kit to make it a lot easier to connect the lights to the hub.
When you add the light (by tapping on the 'add light' button in the app) you can choose to type in the serial no of each bulb as you add them. When they are added they flash to confirm they are connected.
From there, you can adjust the color of each light individually. You can use the pre-determined scenes, or you can choose your own combination from 16 million colors. I chose to create 'Christmas' - with two green and one red light, 'Easter' - with two blue and one pink light, 'Halloween' - with two orange and one yellow, '4th of July' - with one red, one white and one blue, and finally 'Evil'(!) created by my 7 year old son - with two red and one orange light!
The possibilities are endless with the color options, have fun with them! You can transition between your personal settings and the pre-determined scenes as well.
I've also set up a dusk till dawn timer for them within the Philips Hue app, so that I never have to worry if they are on or off at the times I want them to be. That is a nice piece of mind feature within the app. I hadn't used that feature before as all of my previous Hue lights were simply and on or off state on demand, not a pre-set schedule.
My only issue I had with the bulbs (hence the 4 stars and not 5) is that one of them sometimes had a mind of it's own, and would turn on in a color of it's choice, not the choice that I had set up or the pre-determined scene either. For example, 'Tropical Twilight' will show up with two peach colored lights and a purple, or my own 'Christmas' scene would show up with one white, one red and one green.
Simply put, one of the bulbs would forget what color it was supposed to be. Resetting the bulb back to 'Bright' and then re-choosing the scene you wanted seemed to correct the issue most of the time. The connectivity of the app to the bridge to the bulbs outside, so far appears to be robust and works very well.

I'm really pleased overall with the Philips Hue Lily lights and they are a great addition to the outside of my house. My neighbors have already commented on the new lights outside my house and aim to purchase some in the near future!

So simple to use. Works like a charm.
on June 21, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
This is the first wireless charger I've used. I recently purchased an iPhone 8 and wanted to use a wireless charger to save wear and tear on the lightning port on the phone, as I had issues with my previous iPhone 6.
I've been using the wireless charger for a few days now and absolutely love it. Contemplating purchasing others to have laying around the house as quick charge stations.
The packing is nice and simple, like the product. Inside the box you get a charging pad, a power supply and some instructions. Basically plug the power supply into the charger, and then plug it into the wall. You are then good to go. I have the white charger, and a little white light shows up on the front of it showing that it is ready to charge.
Lay your phone on top of the charging pad, and it just 'works'. I didn't have to download any software, didn't have to install an app, didn't have to configure anything at all. It just works, exactly as I expected it to.
I laid my phone on there with about 54% charge. Within 20 mins I was at 88% charge. That is definitely fast enough for my needs. I'll be using this as an overnight charger, I use my phone before going to sleep, so just laying the phone down on the nightstand is a lot easier to do in the dark!
I have a Spigen case on my phone and it works perfectly through that without any issues at all. It will charge through cases that are up to 3mm thick.
When you look at the instructions, if you register the product online with Belkin, they give you an additional warranty on the charger for another year. That gives you 3 years total, which means that Belkin is really prepared to stand behind this product.
There are no other annoying lights on the charging pad to bother you at night. Just a soft, white light. It has a soft rubber ring on top to grip your phone and a rubber base, so that it won't slip off the counter. You are now saved from tangled up charging cords that fall behind your nightstand etc!
Overall, I couldn't be happier with this device! Does exactly what I expected it to do, does it well, and stylishly at the same time.

Not perfect, but pretty good!
on June 2, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
I was excited to get hold of my Sony - WF-SP700N noise canceling headphones, as they are touted as the 'Worlds first, truly wireless noise canceling earbud headphones'.
Opened them up and they are in a sleek little package, easy to open with some extra start up guide instructions as well. Powered them on and they had about 45% charge from the factory. They are a little odd looking, mainly because of their 'bean' shape. But, they clip into your ear really nicely with the little protruding rubber arm that fits snugly in your ear.
I paired them to my phone very easily, using the downloadable app that is part of the headphone set up process. You can control features from the app, including the noise cancelation, the ambient noise and turning off the feature completely.
Fitting them in my ear, the bass was really, really nice. I had the large bud sleeves on the earbuds and the bass reverberated through my head. There was a little bit of crackling at first, but once I adjusted the noise canceling mode, I was able to eliminate the crackling in the right earbud.
My only complaint was that the large earbuds started to hurt my ear cavity after a while, so I switched them for the medium sized ones. They fit me a lot better and allowed me to used the headphones for a lot longer without any pain, but, the payoff for the smaller earbud cover, is that the bass almost completely diminished. I can only presume that the bass is generated somewhat by the pressure of the ear buds on your ear canal, and by making the ear bud smaller, it wasn't able to make the bass sound as it did previously with the larger earbud in there. So, there is a trade off, great sound, or slightly painful ear canals. Tough choice.
The carrying/charging case is really neat and stores the headphones really well. However, it is very slippery, and not easy to open with one hand, due to how slippery it is.
You get up to 9 hours of play time from the headphones. 3 hours, then you have to charge them from the case, and the case holds 3 charges in it. Then you have to charge the headphones, in the case, for 1.5 hours. Then off you go again.
Overall, I really like the headphones. They sound good, the noise canceling is there, but it's not 'amazing'. The ambient noise feature took some getting used to, but it's useful to be able to hear some things around you when running etc. The case is a great fit for the headphones and nice and compact, but it is slippery.
Nice design and good sound. Enjoy!

Excellent 360 Camera! Can't Put It Down!
on May 22, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
This is one of those product that you wonder 'why would I need a 360 degree camera' and when you open it up and use it for the first time, you think 'why aren't all cameras 360 degree cameras'!
After unboxing the camera, charging it up via the included USB charging cable, I was able to shoot straight away. There is an included and already installed 16GB micro SD card (Expandable to 128GB), which on a full charge has the capacity to hold 33 mins of 4K video at 30fps, or 5000 6K resolution photos, and can record for an hour on that charge. That in itself is impressive.
You can record in 180 degree or 360 degree mode - so if you have the camera strapped to your chest, you don't have half a video that is black!
The camera is easy to use with one button on top. Press for 2 seconds to turn on, or off the camera. A beep confirms if it's on and three beeps confirms if it's off. You press the button once to record and then press it again to stop recording. It's as easy as that. But, with the latest firmware upgrade that I did as soon as I plugged it in to charge, bluetooth connectivity has been opened up to add the ability to remotely start and stop your recordings, so you now don't have to go back and edit out your hand grabbing over the screen!
In my experience so far, the video quality has been excellent, especially when recording outside, which is where it excels. The camera doesn't do so well inside, or in low light conditions, so just be mindful of that. There was a tweak to improve the low light recording in the last update, so it's better, but still not amazing. There is no built in flash/light for recording in dark areas.
The camera has phenomenal 'Cinematic Stabilization' that really does smooth out the video incredibly. I did a walk around of my car and you can see the up and down of the motion of me walking around the car, but when you turn on image stabilization it looks like a I had an expensive gimbal with me, smoothing out my view around the car. It is really, really impressive.
Developed by an ex Apple and ex Instagram employee, they understand how 'mobile' works. And that is where the camera comes into it's own. You can order an 'android' or 'Apple' version of the camera which includes a cable specifically for use to connect to your phone. This is how you interact with the camera, how you download your videos and best of all, edit and share your videos, all on the go.
Because you are filming in 360, you have captured everything. Therefore, you can add edit points to your video and the image will pan to that specific point in your video and transition smoothly. This gives a polished and well finished look to your video. I walked from my front door out to my car, and recoded the whole thing. When I stopped to talk to neighbors, I was able to click on each person when the spoke and have the camera pan to them, I was able to focus on the tree in my yard and then swivel 180 degrees and focus on my car. Some really nice technology within the software of the Rylo app.
Let's say you're playing with your dog in the park, you can film and choose to follow your dog with the camera and your dog will always remain as the center focus in the video. That is a really nice feature as well.
Once you have finished editing your video you can save it out as a 360 video or as a cinematic video.
The Camera has an aluminum body, it's a little heavier than I expected, but it does have high quality lenses, and 50% of it's size is taken up with the battery pack. Another surprising thing was just how relatively cheap the replacement batteries are, which is very encouraging too.
Almost everything you need is included with the camera, the only extra thing you might want to get, for protection of your $500 camera is the waterproof case, which will substantially protect the camera. I also aim to purchase the 'selfie' stick, as the included 'everyday case' doesn't have a very long reach and you do get a good view of 'hand' in a portion of the video.
So far in my limited time with the camera, I love it! It's everything and more that I wanted from an action camera and I'm really excited to continue using the camera especially on my upcoming trip to Iceland and then England.
Highly recommend this camera!

Dyson DP04 - Does what it says it will! Love it!
on May 3, 2018
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
First off, I have to say that Dyson customer service is top notch. They are very responsive and eager to sort out any issues you might have.
I say this, because my first DP04 arrived with a manufacturing defect in the plastic of the air 'ring'. It was an unsightly molding issue, that hindered the aesthetics of the otherwise beautiful looking machine. And lets face it, we tend to buy Dyson products for their aesthetic quality as one of the key purchasing features, along with quality, reliability and ease of use.
I contacted Dyson and their return and exchange program worked pretty much flawlessly. Thank you Dyson.
Now on to the product review!
The DP04 arrived in a bright and interesting box, with lots of information and claims on the outside about the fan/purifier. Opened it up and took out the fan. It was a little smaller than I was expecting, but it definitely packs a punch. Under the fan are the HEPA filters and carbon filters. Unwrap them and place them inside the filter housing at the bottom of the fan. There is a HEPA and a carbon filter on each side of the fan. Two clips release the casing for the filters. Nice and easy. Once installed, I plugged in and turned on the fan with the power button.
The little LED/LCD screen lights up with bright colors and a green line. The green line lets you have a clear understanding of the air quality. If it's green, then great, thumbs up, the air is nice and clean in that room. Yellow, you should be concerned, orange isn't good, and red, well, what are you still doing in that room!!!
The purifier has several different modes, which can be controlled by the included little remote control that conveniently attaches magnetically to the outer white ring (so hopefully you won't lose it), or by a smart phone with a downloadable Dyson Link App.
You can control fan speed (1-10 or Auto), rotation (0-350 degrees), what is being monitored (PM 2.5, PM 10, VOC and NO2), Wifi status, night mode, and direction of airflow.
Advancing through the screens on the LED/LCD screen, you have little icons representing the different modes. Clear and concise information, that is easy to understand. Download the app for more information with an in-depth description of what the DP04 is monitoring.
The fan is very, very quiet on lower speeds, when you get up to 8, 9 and 10, there is a noticeable noise, but it is only the sound of air moving through the small aperture. Nothing horrible at all, just what you would expect from a fan moving air around.
There is a reverse airflow setting that blows a lower amount of air out of the back of the air 'ring' and doesn't blow directly on the people in front of the fan. This is nice if you want the room to be purified but without being blown around your living room!
The base has the ability to tilt the fan backwards or forwards to give you the angle of airflow that you desire, along with a selectable rotational radius of 0 to 350 degrees. Makes it very versatile for covering a room.
Mine is placed in my son's bedroom as he has been suffering from allergies a lot recently. The fan appears to have made a great difference to his sleep pattern and the quality of the air he breathes at night. He's no longer coughing or sneezing in his sleep, so the fan is worth it just for that piece of mind.
Using the Dyson Link app, you can set up schedules. I have it scheduled to run from 8pm at night until 6am, to cover my son's sleeping habits. It's designed to purify one room, so no need to run it during the day, when we aren't there. The scheduling functionality is very useful.
It also has Alexa integration, using Amazon Alexa Skills. Once set up you can control all of the features using voice gestures, which with my son controlling the lights in his room with Alexa is an added 'robot' for him to control. He loves that functionality, and quite frankly, so do I.
Overall, this is a well engineered product, with a nice quality build, that Dyson stands behind, and really does do what it says on the box.
Very glad that this 'robot' is making a difference to my son's life.
Would definitely recommend it to my friends.

I'm really impressed with this wine bottle opener! I thought it was going to be some what of a gimmick, but it turns out that it really is a great little bottle opener. It's sleek, well made and works!
You charge it up, lights up the whole clear window blue (which I could live without as it remains lit the whole time it charges) but once charged, the blue LED light goes out. After trimming off the foil from the top of the wine bottle, place the bottom of the opener on top of the wine bottle and press the down button. The corkscrew winds down and pierces the cork in the bottle. Press the up button and the bottle opener pulls the cork out of the bottle, easily and cleanly.
Once the wine bottle is open, you then press the down button again, and the cork slowly unwinds from the corkscrew and is deposited out of the bottom.
Works perfectly every time. Very simple to use.

Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine w/ LatteGo, Black
Can it do cold drinks as well as hot? And what is the maximum volume it can brew? Can it brew a whole pot of coffee?
No, this machine does not do cold drinks. It has 5 pre-set coffee settings, and a hot water setting. It brews single cups at a time, so won't brew a whole pot at one time.
