The innovative 360 Blade can flex in all directions to adjust to the curves of your face. The design enables constant skin contact and control. Easily trim and shave hard-to-reach areas — with fewer strokes and greater comfort. Fits with all OneBlade products.
Posted by: scovartwo
The OneBlade cutting heads, are actually constructed of three very thin pieces of stainless steel, which are sandwiched together and glued with a green epoxy around the edges, this results in cutting heads which seem safer than traditional trimmer blades, since there is not the easily observable sharp moving blades, which can seem a bit dangerous. The green epoxy used to hold the blade mechanism together, makes the edges of the metal blades a lot softer.
I am not sure why these are named OneBlade 360, since the blades do not swivel a full 360 degrees, these OneBlade cutting heads only swivel from side to side, and tilt from an upward and downward angle. Oh well, I guess it is a catchy name for a cutting mechanism which can cut from many angles.
Overall, I am rating these replacement blades at 3 out of 5 stars. I feel like Norelco should make these OneBlades out of metal that is a bit thicker, and I feel like the OneBlades should have wider cutting teeth. These improvements would allow these OneBlades to cut thicker beard hairs more easily, and would also make this a more durable product.

Norelco has developed a unique hair cutting applia
on March 9, 2023
Posted by: scovartwo
This Norelco OneBlade trimmer cuts closer than a standard trimmer is capable of cutting, and this results in a shave that is almost as close as a razor blade.
This Norelco OneBlade is a unique concept which is better in some ways, and worse in some ways, compared to a quality trimmer, which has the more common trimmer blade. The OneBlade cutting heads have cutting teeth which are noticeably finer than the teeth on standard trimmer blades, and though it cuts hair closer, it also has a bit more difficulty in trimming a large amount of thick hair quickly. It is kind of necessary to cut through a thick beard a bit slower than standard trimmers can cut.
I would say that this Norelco OneBlade trimmer is more effective at cutting thinner body hair, such as arm, chest, and leg hair, which is not as thick as facial hair.
The OneBlade cutting heads, are actually constructed of three very thin pieces of stainless steel, which are sandwiched together and glued with a green epoxy around the edges, this results in cutting heads which seem safer than traditional trimmer blades, since there is not the easily observable sharp moving blades, which can seem a bit dangerous. The green epoxy used to hold the blade mechanism together, makes the edges of the metal blades a lot softer.
Overall, I would rate this Norelco OneBlade Pro trimmer at 4 out of 5 stars.

Go Prime and take your hearing into your own hands. This rechargeable, in-the ear, digital hearing aid gives you crisp and clear sound when you need it most. Go Prime is wireless, small and discreet with easy volume adjustment. This device is excellent if you are looking for added features that could help you hear better in a large variety of environments. These are over-the-counter hearing aids.
Posted by: scovartwo
These hearing aids have a very long lasting battery, which will likely not run out of battery power, before they can be charged at night while sleeping.
These hearing aids have plenty of sound amplification on the highest volume.
The left earpiece is blue and the right earpiece is red, this is a nice touch.
These hearing aids have a built in automatic volume reduction functionality, for the times when noises are a bit too loud, this prevents the loud noises from being amplified to the point of being too loud.
If someone has a minimum or medium hearing loss, these GoPrime hearing aids should be sufficient at amplifying sound to the point of allowing an improved level of hearing.
I wear a pair of Bluetooth earbuds all the time, and I have a process of taking a single piece of two ply tissue paper, and I separate it into two thinner pieces of tissue paper, I take one of the thinner pieces and fold it, and then wrap the folded tissue paper around my earbuds, and I wear them with sort of an earbud sock. This thin layer of tissue paper absorbs oils and waxes that develop in the ear, and it keeps earbuds quite clean, and this prevents the necessity of frequently having to wipe earbuds clean. This same protective layer of tissue paper can be used with these hearing aids, and any ear wax will be absorbed by the tissue paper.
Because of the fact that I use Bluetooth earbuds all the time, it is kind of an unavoidable inclination to compare these hearing aids, to the sound producing capabilities of a comparably priced pair of Bluetooth earbuds. Considering that all Bluetooth earbuds have a built in wireless Bluetooth technology, which these hearing aids do not have, it kind of feels like Bluetooth earbuds, have a more technologically advanced built in technology, compared to most hearing aids. That consideration naturally would cause the customer to wonder why hearing aids on average, would be more expensive than Bluetooth earbuds? Whatever happened to the law of supply and demand?
I am rating these GoPrime hearing aids on two separate scales. In a world where Bluetooth earbuds, which contains the advanced wireless Bluetooth technology, was not available as a sound product in a similar form factor, then in that world, I would rate these hearing aids at 5 out of 5 stars. Since we are living in a world having advanced Bluetooth earbuds, then this causes an inclination to rate these hearing aids, at 3 out of 5 stars.

This Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard is an up
on June 21, 2022
Posted by: scovartwo
This Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard is an upgrade in mostly every way, compared to my previous rechargeable mini Logitech keyboard. This keyboard being noticeably heavier than my old Logitech compact keyboard, is the only detail about this keyboard, that is less desirable. This keyboard is almost twice as heavy as my older Logitech K810 keyboard. See the keyboard weights compared below, of which I have a really accurate digital scale that I weighed both keyboards with.
Older Logitech K810 Bluetooth illuminated keyboard weight: 12.1 ounces
This Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard weight: 21.5 ounces
This Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard weighing 21.5 ounces, is really quite a bit of weight, if it is sitting on the lap the whole time that the keyboard is being used. This keyboard is definitely more pleasant to type with, when it is sitting on a desktop, and not on the lap.
Older Logitech K810 Bluetooth illuminated keyboard weight: 12.1 ounces
This Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard weight: 21.5 ounces
This Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard weighing 21.5 ounces, is really quite a bit of weight, if it is sitting on the lap the whole time that the keyboard is being used. This keyboard is definitely more pleasant to type with, when it is sitting on a desktop, and not on the lap.
This keyboard has a really responsive sensor that detects when fingers are near the keys, and this automatically illuminates the keys while typing. The keyboard illumination turns off 6 seconds after the sensor no longer detects hand activity near the keyboard.
I viewed this keyboard on the Logitech website, and it says that this keyboard has an estimated battery life of up to 10 months with the backlight turned off, and a battery life of around 15 days with the backlight turned on, so if typing in a well lit room, turning the backlight off will result in a much better battery life.
This Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard does have a better than average build quality, compared to most other keyboards, and this is why I am rating this keyboard at 4 out of 5 stars, of which if this keyboard did not weigh so much, then it would be the perfect keyboard. This is definitely the best keyboard that I have ever owned.

Water Resistant Samsung SSD – Silicone Coating
on June 6, 2022
Posted by: scovartwo
This Samsung T7 Shield SSD is slightly larger than my older Samsung T5 SSD, and it also has a silicone coating, which I had not expected. The older Samsung SSD’s only have an aluminum case.
This Samsung SSD is also water and dust resistant, which was not a feature of the older Samsung SSD’s.
This Samsung SSD has an external shell that is wavy, which allow air to travel under the SSD when it is sitting on any surface, this allows it to dissipate more heat and stay cooler.
This Samsung SSD comes with two connection cables, one USB-C to USB-C cable, and one USB-C to USB-A cable.
I did a file transfer test, comparing this T7 SSD to a T5 SSD. I used 10 movies totaling around 20 gigabytes, and I transferred these 10 movies to my desktop, and then back to both SSD’s, and surprisingly, this Samsung T7 SSD had almost exactly the same transfer and read speeds as my Samsung T5 SSD. I had these two SSD’s connected using USB-C to USB-A cables, and so I guess this Samsung T7 must be connected using the USB-C to USB-C cable, in order to achieve the max read and write speeds.
This is a very good quality external SSD, and I am rating it at 5 out of 5 stars.

THE GOOD DETAILS OF THESE SONY BLUETOOTH EARBUDS
These Sony Bluetooth earbuds are built fairly well, and they have good sounding audio with above average bass.
I do like the charging case of these Sony earbuds, as I prefer simpler plastic charging cases which can be easily wiped clean.
I really like the fact that these Sony earbuds have the buttons on the outer part of the earbuds, as this makes the process of pressing the buttons much easier.
These Sony earbuds do have around 7 or 8 hours of listening time on a full charge of the earbuds, and this is slightly above average listening time, compared to a lot of earbuds on the market.
THE BAD DETAILS OF THESE SONY BLUETOOTH EARBUDS
The charging case lacks wireless charging, and wireless charging cases are always a plus, but at least the charging cable which charges the case is USB C, which is an improvement from the older micro USB.
I mostly use Bluetooth earbuds with only one earbud in an ear at a time, and these Sony earbuds can only be used one at a time if using the left side earbud, the right earbud is not useable independently, and this makes these earbuds much less desirable in my opinion. Bluetooth earbuds which allow the left or right side earbud to be used independently, are twice as good, in my opinion.
The charging case does not have very much charging capacity, and this charging case is only capable of charging the earbuds one time, and so a total of around 18 hours listening time with the earbuds and case, this is simply not very good. Charging cases for earbuds should always have a bit bigger battery capable of charging the earbuds at least 3 or 4 times, and why not, the charging cases can easily fit a bigger battery inside the case.
MY OVERALL OPINION OF THESE SONY TRUE WIRELESS BLUETOOTH EARBUDS
These Sony Bluetooth earbuds do have good quality sound and plenty of bass, and this is what matters most when considering the quality of these Bluetooth earbuds, because they are earbuds designed to have good bass, so they live up to their intended purpose.
I am figuring in the unique design of these earbuds when considering my rating of these earbuds, of which the earbud design is a bit awkward, I prefer simpler earbuds which are round and have the eartips which fit into the ear canal.
I am scoring these Sony true wireless Bluetooth earbuds at 3 out of 5 stars.

Great Quality Earbuds Which Are Lacking Features
on December 31, 2020
Posted by: scovartwo
from Port Hueneme
THE GOOD DETAILS OF THESE SENNHEISER BLUETOOTH EARBUDS
These Sennheiser Momentum true wireless 2 Bluetooth earbuds are built really well and they have some of the best sounding audio of any Bluetooth true wireless earbuds.
The Sennheiser Android app is really useful and has an equalizer to adjust the Bass, Mids, and Treble of these earbuds. The app also allows the user to customize which touch sensitive button taps performs which function, and this ability to customize the touch buttons, is a really nice feature which is not found on most true wireless earbuds.
I really like the fact that the earbuds can have the touch sensitive buttons to be programmed to turn off the earbuds, as most other true wireless earbuds can only be turned off by way of putting them in the case, which then powers off the earbuds.
THE BAD DETAILS OF THESE SENNHEISER BLUETOOTH EARBUDS
I don’t like the fabric on this Sennheiser earbuds charging case, I prefer a simpler plastic case which can be more easily wiped clean.
This Sennheiser earbuds case lacks wireless charging, and I believe that this price range of earbuds, should by default include a case which has wireless charging.
I mostly use Bluetooth earbuds one at a time, and these Sennheiser earbuds can only be used one at a time if using the right side earbud, the left earbuds is not useable independently, and this makes these earbuds much less desirable in my opinion.
I am not convinced that the noise cancellation technology is very effective. The functionality of these Sennheiser Bluetooth earbuds only allows switching from the noise cancellation mode, directly into the mode which amplifies the room sound using the earbuds built in microphones, and this results in a contrast which appears to be cancelling noise more than it actually is. I tried having these Sennheiser earbuds in the noise cancellation mode with a hair dryer creating a loud background sound, then I powered the Sennheiser earbuds off with them still in my ears, and the result was not much of a noticeable difference in how loud the hair dryer sounded, this leads me to believe that most of the noise reduction is being accomplished by nothing more than the good fit of the earbuds in the ears, which blocks the sound from reaching the ears.
MY OVERALL OPINION OF THESE SENNHEISER MOMENTUM TRUE WIRELESS 2 BLUETOOTH EARBUDS
These Sennheiser Momentum true wireless 2 Bluetooth earbuds do have great quality sound, and this is most of what matters when considering the quality of Bluetooth earbuds, but for the price range, there is too many lacking features. I am figuring in the lack of value into my rating of these Sennheiser earbuds, if I was only considering build quality and sound quality, I would have rated them higher.
I am scoring these Sennheiser Momentum true wireless 2 Bluetooth earbuds at 3 out of 5 stars.

Make media more fun with this HP Spectre Folio convertible laptop. Three possible screen positions let you watch videos or edit photos in comfort, and its powerful Intel Core i7 processor is ideal for gaming. This HP Spectre Folio convertible laptop has a 256GB M.2 solid-state drive, ensuring speed and ample storage.

This HP Spectre Folio Ultrabook has a unique design which includes a rare media viewing mode, in which the display tilts forward and covers the keyboard. The digital pen works best to draw on the display in media viewing mode, because the screen has no wobble at all in the media viewing mode, this is as a result of the display being held in place with a series of magnets when it is in media viewing mode.
The best thing about this HP Spectre Folio, is that this computer does not have an internal fan. This HP computer has a mobile version of the Intel i7 processor, which allows it to function while using less power, and the mobile type of processor is why it is able to be fan less without overheating. Fans inside computers do build up dust over time, which needs to be cleaned periodically to prevent the fans from being less effective at removing built up heat. It is really nice when a computer does not need an internal cooling fan, with that said, I point a fan at myself and this computer while using it, of which the airflow does blow away any built of heat from the HP Spectre Folio, but this is really only be necessary at times when I am using the computer in a hot room on a hot day.
The unboxing of this HP Spectre Folio was what is expected from a premium priced Ultrabook, it was packaged in a padded box within a box, of which the inside box is really nice. The HP Spectre Folio Ultrabook and accessories were cradled by form fitted plastic sections. This form fitted plastic packaging, has a better feel compared to cardboard materials for the inner packaging materials.
The 65-watt power adapter kit is quite nice, it has a braided cable on the USB-C cable side, and the power cord which plugs into the power adapter, is a premium round power cord.
This HP Spectre Folio has 3 USB-C type connectors, two of which are Thunderbolt compatible. Included is a USB-C extension dongle which allows plugging in standard USB devices.
The HP Spectre Folio Ultrabook is covered in a really nice quality of leather, and this leather encased Ultrabook, makes for a unique computing experience. I guess you could say this HP Spectre Folio might be less likely to be stolen, as it might appear as if it is nothing more than a leather folder containing paper.
The HP digital pen that is included is mostly made of aluminum, except the end shirt clip section is plastic. The plastic shirt clip allows this digital pen to be placed on a tabletop and it will not roll away and fall on the ground like other round-only digital pens have a tendency to do. The digital pen holder is not optimal in my opinion, as it is made of leather, and the digital pen already fits too snugly in the holder, making it slightly a hassle to fit the pen into the holder, and since leather shrinks, if it ever got wet, the pen holder would end up being an even tighter fit for the pen. A rubber molded style of pen holder, which is magnetically attached, would have been a better option, but choosing leather for the pen holder was an understandable choice, since leather is the theme of this Ultrabook. I chose not to attach the leather digital pen holder to the HP Spectre Folio, since I use it at home all the time, and I place the digital pen next to the Ultrabook, and that is good enough for me. The HP digital pen does have two buttons which can be programmed.
This HP Spectre Folio has 4 speakers which actually sound great, I am not sure if it is the tuning of the speakers that is done by Bang and Olufsen, or if the speakers themselves are actually Bang and Olufsen speakers, but they do sound about as good as small speakers are capable of sounding. I find it best at times when I want to hear louder music, to simply connect a Bluetooth speaker to the Ultrabook. Also, when connecting a Bluetooth speaker to the Ultrabook and playing the audio with the Bluetooth speaker, this uses less of the Ultrabook’s battery.
When lifting the display, it is best to grab it with two hands by the front left and right corners while lifting, as there are two sets of magnets, which hold the lid securely to the lower keyboard section. The hinge for the display, has just the right amount of tension so as to make it perfectly easy to lift. The screen in laptop mode is secure enough to use the digital pen on, but it is common for touch screens to wobble a bit when using a digital pen, and so the digital pen does function much better when the HP Spectre Folio is in media viewing mode.
I am rating this HP Spectre Folio at 4.2 out of 5 stars, as it is a really unique computing experience, and I would suggest this Ultrabook to anyone who can afford the premium pricing category that this computer is in.

Enjoy your favorite music alone or among friends with these wireless Rowkin Ascent earbuds. The Rowkin app is compatible with iOS and Android to let you share music or adjust audio settings, while WaterSafe technology provides water resistance for use during inclement weather. These Rowkin Ascent earbuds come with a slim charging case, which is also ideal for storage.

Before I received these Rowkin Bluetooth earbuds, I had seen a few video reviews on YouTube which had said many positive things about this product, so I already had a concept that this might be a quality product, but I found that these Rowkin Bluetooth earbuds were even better than I had expected. I was impressed with the consistent automatic Bluetooth connectivity of these Rowkin earbuds, this is referring to the Bluetooth connecting process once the Bluetooth earbuds have already been paired with an audio source. These Rowkin Bluetooth earbuds connect faster & quite a bit more consistently than all of the other Bluetooth earbuds that I own.
These Rowkin Bluetooth earbuds have a newer 5.0 version of Bluetooth, which is more power efficient than previous versions of Bluetooth. Also, audio devices using Bluetooth 5.0 can remain connected in standby mode for longer than previous versions of Bluetooth. Compared to several other Bluetooth earbuds that I own, the Bluetooth connection on these Rowkin earbuds is stronger than average at the maximum connection distance. I have a gaming desktop computer in my living room, which I often use to send an audio signal to my various brands of earbuds when I walk to my back bedroom, my back bedroom is around 35 or 40 feet away from my living room and is also on the other side of a kitchen wall. The audio reception of these Rowkin earbuds is indeed better than all of my other earbuds when in my back bedroom.
The charging case for these Rowkin earbuds is a really good design, it incorporates magnets to hold the case closed, and it also has magnets to hold the earbuds in the charging position. The rechargeable case weighs 4.4 ounces, which is a bit more than the charging case for other Bluetooth earbuds that I own. The Rowkin earbud charging case is 5 volts at 1900 mAh of battery capacity, this is a way bigger lithium battery than is in the charging case of my other Bluetooth earbuds. For all of the other Bluetooth earbuds that I have owned, I have wondered, why did they make the charging case with such a tiny battery? I am glad that Rowkin has added a much more proper sized battery capacity in their charging case. The Rowkin packaging lists up to 50 hours of audio listening for these earbuds, this is approximately 14 times that the Rowkin wireless charging case can charge these Rowkin Bluetooth earbuds. That is way more than the competition. The Rowkin earbud charging case also has wireless charging, this is a feature that no other Bluetooth earbuds that I know of has.
The included Rowkin wireless charger is designed pretty well, it has 4 solid rubbery feet on the bottom corners, which is better than the foam type of feet which is often on some products. The Rowkin wireless charging pad has an input power rating of 5 volts at 2 amps, if the Rowkin wireless charging pad is plugged into a power source that is only 5 volts at 1 amp, it will charge devices a bit slower and the charge status indicating lights might glitch and will not stay lit when the charging is complete. So if glitching occurs when using the wireless charging pad, look to make sure that your 5 volt power source is a full 2 amps, to ensure that the charge indicating lights will stay lit up when charging is complete. The Rowkin charging case itself will function normally on 5 volts at 1 amp when it is connected directly to a power source using the USB-C cable. It is only when using the wireless charging pad that the full 5 volts at 2 amps is required to ensure 100% normal charging. I am mentioning this because this Rowkin kit does not come with a 5 volt power supply, it is necessary to use a phone or tablet charger that you already have, and many older 5 volt USB chargers are only 5 volts at 1 amp. The instructions say that the Rowkin charging case can be lightly shaken and this will display the battery level, but my charging case does not respond to shaking, but it does show the battery charge level when the end is tapped on a countertop surface, which is just as easy as shaking.
These Rowkin earbuds actually have the capability of being used independently of each other, each earbud can be placed into pairing mode and can be paired with audio sources. This is a feature that no other Bluetooth earbuds that I know of can do. All the other Bluetooth earbuds that I own, have a ‘master earbud’ and only the ‘master earbud’ can be placed into pairing mode. When the Rowkin earbuds are removed from the charging case, they automatically turn on and sync to each other, and then they connect in stereo mode to any previously paired audio source. If you want to use only one Rowkin earbud at a time, after removing the earbuds from the charging case, press and hold the touch surface on either earbud which will turn off both earbuds, then simply power on only the earbud that you want to use. The purpose of wanting to use only one earbud at a time, is so that the earbud that is not being used will function like an earplug blocking out most of the other noises in the room, and then once the one earbud that is being used runs out of battery power, simply turn on the other earbud, and this effectively doubles the audio playing time. Listening to only one Bluetooth earbud at a time, does allow for easier hearing of other surrounding noises, such as a doorbell, or a phone notification, or a phone ringing, or any other noise that would likely not be heard if you had been listening to audio through two earbuds at the same time.
I am listing the less than optimal details about the Rowkin earbuds last, this is because I was so impressed with the good things about this product. These Rowkin earbuds do not have quite the customized ear molded fitting that some other brands of earbuds do, but this is not much of an issue, as I find that these Rowkin earbuds do stay in the ears fairly well. These Rowkin earbuds can also be worn for many hours at a time with little to no ear discomfort. If you are a person with really small ears, then these Rowkin earbuds might not fit your ears so well, but if you have close to medium sized ears, then these Rowkin earbuds should fit well and comfortably.
The touch control buttons are not quite as good as actual physical buttons that are pressed and can be sensed when they have been pressed. If trying to press and hold the touch surface on either Rowkin earbud, if not starting with a firm enough press, the attempt at initiating a touch command will often not be successful. Also, if ever tapping an earbud twice trying to play or pause a song, often times the command will not be successful. Essentially the touch type of controls on these Rowkin earbuds are not the most accurate or consistent. Basically, the touch control commands on these Rowkin earbuds might require more than one attempt at times. I prefer physically pressable buttons on Bluetooth earbuds, but the touch sensitive surfaces on these Rowkin earbuds are effective enough so that this is not much to complain about.
I am rating these Rowkin earbuds at 4.5 out of 5 stars, as the overall kit consisting of the Bluetooth earbuds, the charging case, the wireless charging pad, and the USB-C cable with adapter, this is all a well put together audio listening kit, which has several above average features.

Clean those hard-to-reach places in your home with this Shark cordless vacuum. Its bristle brush deep-cleans any carpet, and the additional soft-roll brush pulls in larger particles from wood floors while polishing them. The rechargeable, high-capacity Li-Ion battery keeps this Ninja cordless vacuum's DuoClean Technology ready for tough cleaning chores.

There is a lot to like about this Shark Cordless vacuum, It cleans pretty good, it is easy to empty the dustbin, it is easy to charge the battery, and it is fun to use. The convenience of cordless in vacuums, definitely makes the task of vacuuming quite a bit easier. I have always found vacuuming to be an important task, this is because I own several computers, and computers do end up getting their fans clogged with dust after a while. When the dust from the carpets and floors is vacuumed up, this removes the dust that would otherwise end up clogging up the fans on computes.
This shark vacuum attaches easily to the base, and it lifts off quickly with a simple button press, once this Shark vacuum is in lift away mode, it is ready to be used to clean furniture or drapes, or even taken to a vehicle to clean the seats and floors. The hose on this Shark vacuum is really thick and durable, it feels like it should last a long time without the hose ever tearing, like a thinner hose would be more inclined to do.
I am mostly disabled and have difficulties walking, and so this cordless vacuum is a bit on the heavy side for me to carry in the lift away mode, but this is only because of my worn knees and hips. I own another cordless vacuum which is a bit easier to use because it is lighter and turns a bit easier, but this Shark vacuum does clean the hard floors in my apartment slightly better than my other cordless vacuum. This Shark cordless vacuum has what they call the DuoClean technology, this means that it has two brushrolls, and the two brushrolls are effective at loosening more of the dust on the floor, so that the suction can pick up the dust.
The lithium battery, the charger, and charging base that comes with this Shark vacuum, is a really nice kit. The lithium battery has a unique design, it is a series of 8 batteries assembled in a cylindrical battery assembly, and the battery has venting that keeps the battery from getting too hot. It is nice to be able to charge the battery multiple ways, it can be charged while it is on the vacuum, the battery can be removed from the vacuum and placed in the charging cradle, and the charger can be plugged directly into the battery. The batter itself is actually quite weighty, when it is placed into the battery slot on the lift away section, then the lift away vacuum assembly weighs several pounds.
When I was unboxing this Shark vacuum, I was in the process of familiarizing myself with the vacuum in lift away mode, and I was holding the handle of the vacuum, of which the handle is the top of the dustbin which attaches to the vacuum section containing the motor. I found out the unfortunate way not to press the dustbin release levers while holding only the handle, as the whole vacuum section will drop, which is what happened to me. The whole vacuum section tumbled to the ground and ended up breaking a piece of plastic before I even got to use the vacuum. Seems like building the handle directly into the top of the dustbin is not the greatest of design, but once this is known, this mishap is easy to avoid.
The wheels on this Shark vacuum are really sturdy, and the wheels roll over hard floors nicely. The power on and off switch being located on the handle is really convenient, there is no need to bend over and press a power button on the vacuum base itself. Next to the power button is two other mode buttons, the hard floor mode actually has an increased vacuuming suction level and a reduced brushbar speed, while the carpet mode has a decreased vacuuming suction level and an increased brushbar speed. This vacuum also has a turbo mode which is quite useful at times, I use it when the vacuum approaches the front of a countertop, or the front of a chair, or anywhere that dust builds up. When in upright vacuuming mode, the turbo button initiates the turbo only while the button is being held. The turbo button has a different function while the vacuum is in lift away mode, which is that the turbo button being pressed once, puts the vacuum into turbo suction mode, and it stays in turbo suction mode until the turbo button is pressed again, which switches the vacuum back to normal suction mode.
The width of the cleaning head on this Shark vacuum is 10 inches, which is a bit less wide than some other vacuums, but I believe the cleaning head was purposely designed with a lesser width, because of it being cordless. If this Shark vacuum had a wider cleaning head, it would have required a bigger brushbar, and this would have caused the battery to last for a shorter period of time. The less wide cleaning head is just fine, and it does allow the vacuum to fit into some tighter spaces that a wider cleaning head would not fit into.
I feel as if this vacuum is priced about right, as more expensive vacuums are often made of a more premium plastic. With that said, most vacuums are made with a similar quality of plastic to this Shark vacuum, but most vacuums are not quite as well designed. The LED lighting on this Shark vacuum is quite bright, and it easily illuminates the cleaning path, even if vacuuming in a darkly lit room.
My apartment has hard floors, and so I only had the opportunity to test this Shark vacuum on flooring with no carpets, I am not too sure if this vacuum would roll over carpets as well as it does on hard floors. I only have a medium sized apartment, but the lithium battery has a fairly large capacity, and I am sure this Shark cordless vacuum could easily clean all the floors in a 4 bedroom residence quite easily before needing to be recharged.
I was surprised when I first powered on this Shark vacuum that the motor has a quality sound to it, the vacuum’s motor is fairly quiet, and it does not have the cheap wining sound that most $100 vacuums usually have. I am rating this Shark vacuum at 4 out of 5 stars, and I would suggest this vacuum to anyone who wants a well-designed and versatile cordless upright vacuum.

Make media more fun with this HP Spectre Folio convertible laptop. Three possible screen positions let you watch videos or edit photos in comfort, and its powerful Intel Core i7 processor is ideal for gaming. This HP Spectre Folio convertible laptop has a 256GB M.2 solid-state drive, ensuring speed and ample storage.
How cumbersome is to service this laptop at home..e.g. if needs to be opened, would it be easy to detach from the leather cover? where I am trying to reach is to know the complexity of having this leather cover over benefits.
The leather cover it bonded to the ultrabook, it cannot be removed by the user.

Increase productivity and save desk space with this HP Pavilion all-in-one desktop computer. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of DDR4 RAM keep multiple programs running at optimal speeds, and the Intel Optane Memory is a smart system accelerator that adapts to your everyday computing activities. This HP Pavilion all-in-one desktop computer has a large 1TB hard drive for storing files securely.
Is this all in one computer, good for gaming? Such as fortnite, rules of survival, & etc?
Gaming computers have a tendency to use more CPU than is required for basic processing tasks, which results in a hotter running computer. I would not suggest an all in one type of computer for gaming, the air flow on al all in one computers is not sufficient to allow a gaming compter to keep cool enough.
A gaming computer normally has more cooling fans than most computers, and will last longer for gaming needs.
