The Turtle Beach Stream Mic is the first professional desktop microphone created for gamers streaming directly from their Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as from a PC or Mac. The Stream Mic features Adaptive Mic Patterns, customizable software, a dual-capsule mic array with advanced digital processing, and a zero-latency headphone output so anyone can stream like a pro.

This microphone was beyond simple to set up. Literally plug and play with 1 more step. The microphone has a nice sturdy base (compared to the ones made of cheap plastic...this is a very nice change), and seems generally well constructed.
It was reported to me that the sound was excellent but have not tried it in a noisy room yet.
Complaint- It uses color coded LED (which is cool) to show microphone settings so you have to either memorize them or consult the manual or have a cheat sheet.

Nice, but charging is not what I thought...

I was excited to see this, thinking it would be able to continually charge the mouse while in use all over the pad, but that is not how it works! You must have the mouse parked in one spot for charging meaning you can't use it.
Nicely made, looks classy and as everything else...is a cat hair magnet. It is a large mouse pad and seems to fit my 55" monitor very well.
The mouse pad has the USB port for the mouse dongle.

Nicely made but awkward to use

Looks super cool!!! Motion is smooth, low friction, many options for setting resolution, and having the buttons set to do any sequence of keystrokes is very convenient so GREAT JOB!!! .I wanted to be able to program one of the mouse buttons to act as the CTRL, but the software did not allow that. The software only allows macros to run after a mouse press, not after a mouse release. The mouse is very heavy!! While I did not have to lift it often, when I did I sure noticed the weight! The mouse glides great (slippery mouse and pad) but it is hard to hold the courser in one place long enough to double click. Set up software seems to work great but why does the software for a mouse take half a gig on my hard drive??? The sniper button is convenient but the other two thumb buttons are not comfortable and I cannot push them reliably (I do have large hands), which also makes it hard to hold the mouse.
This is designed to be a palm held mouse, but if I hold it that way, my fingers are too long to reach the wheel...maybe different sizes offered, say one made for larger hands???

Great Sonic toothbrush!!!
on March 20, 2018
Posted by: EAR1965
from Ithaca NY
My dentist told me to get one...
The toothbrush is a typical sonic toothbrush, however it is not as loud as my house-mates so that is a BIG plus. To be fair his is older...
So, it comes with 1 head and it was charged. The charging footprint is small so it fits nicely on my little shelf. My first time using it was also my first time using a sonic so it was OK. Tickles a bit but I was told I will get used to it. I notice I use much less tooth paste and that is a plus. It runs for 2 minute timer to make sure you get that time in which is nice. It makes a different sound when I push too hard which is a plus for me as I tend to brush too hard.

There is only one speed with this so it is a basic unit. The brush head comes off easily for a thorough rinsing (nothing worse that old dried up toothpaste clogging things up on the handle).
The Quick Start Up instructions were not for the toothbrush I received- it was for a different model with other options.
I like it. I think my teeth and gums are a bit more happy now.

The integrated GPS on this Suunto Spartan Trainer watch lets you trace your steps.

The instructions are...missing? Scattered? The booklet give 5 very small pages of info. With the app on my phone and my desktop I think I have figured out a few things. There are so many things this watch can do yet I am still trying to figure out how to count my steps! Once the weather is nice I am really looking forward to the bike features- both mountain and road. This will help me to keep in shape!!!
The watch looks great!!! Very sleek and comfortable. Charging is normal with the special charger. Battery seems to last a while. On day 2 and still at 90%.
What I would like to see with items like this is instructions easily written for those of us that are not so tech savvy. In one place.

The watch itself looks nice- like a real watch, but the band kind of feels cheap. After three days of wearing it seems OK. The app, well, thats a whole different ballgame...
***KNOW THIS*** you do not have to have the app for basic use of this watch. The app just gives you so much more info and keeps it handy (including mapping and GPS)
It really does a nice job of keeping the info in one place, but every time I open the app it takes up to a minute to 'update' which I assume is syncing. Sometimes I will hit the 'back' button on my phone by accident and it does the minute 'update' thing again. It also disconnects the bluetooth at any time it feels like it. In fact, I am currently re-pairing it again, second time today. But that didn't work so I had to reboot my phone and the watch. That took forever and a LOT of button pushing! I may not be the most tech savvy person out there so I may not be the best judge of this item, but I plan on using it to help me lose weight and get into shape. So far I can tell what I have been doing for the last couple of days and it seems positive. The sleep information looks impressive- I hope it is accurate because I seem to be getting OK sleep.
Battery lasts about 1 day with the heart rate option on.
Charging dock- OMG...you have to carry the dock with you to charge it. I am assuming it is to keep the watch water proof, but still what a PITA.
I would like to get one for my daughter...but it is expensive

Out if the box this vacuum was a snap! No tools needed-everything just snapped together. Nice long hose means those pesky spiders don't stand a chance! I only wished the canister were a bit bigger. It folds down nicely to a small easy to hide anywhere vacuum. Oh, and top heavy when in use...

So much for a cool cat toy
on October 7, 2017
Posted by: EAR1965
from Ithaca NY
First- Box was difficult to get into, but it was packed well. Second- instruction SUCKED. mostly had to figure things out for ourselves. Third- Save the tall plastic container- holds the sphere nicely when charging. Fourth- I downloaded the incorrect app and was lost. Fifth- finally got correct app and they want access to EVERYTHING...immediate distrust. T &C are a mile long- good luck trying to read them. Sixth- FINALLY got app and shero set...bluetooth (a MUST) and WIFI on...ready to go...but...with the shero next to the phone, it would not recognize it. Tried three times and got it to work and tried to engage cats...they preferred the cardboard box it came in. Seventh- tried to get second one hooked up...would NOT connect and my house-mate could not get either one to connect- the app would not connect to the robots(it did not see them) but the phones bluetooth did see them. Entire experience...FAIL, I guess I'll wait for better technology
Oh, and the outside ball looks and feels very cheep.

The Shark Cordless Pet Plus Vacuum with Anti-Allergen Complete Seal combines powerful suction with cordless convenience to deliver deep cleaning on all floor types. Its lightweight design and removable hand vac allow for cleaning from floor to ceiling.
We live in an 1100 square foot apartment. Mostly hardware floors. Could this work as your only vacuum? (except for a small handheld we use for corners, etc.)
I think it would be great! The top comes off for storage and the attachments work perfect. My house is over 2300 sq ft and it completes in one charge.

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?
I spoke with an electrician and he states that since the instructions suggest to plug into a GFI, it is not a GFI itself. I have not tried to control each separate and I do not see where I can so I would say No. I am unsure about the other questions- sorry!!

The Filtrete™ Maximum Under Sink Water Filtration System 3US-MAX-S01 is easy to install and maintain. It's an under sink water filtration system that connects to the kitchen or bath faucet.
Can the filter be turn off if I am using the faucet for other than drinking water? Will it still use the filter? Shorten the 6 month life span on the filter?
I think you would have to remove the filter and reattach the hose. Not very convenient if done often.

The integrated sensor detects whenever you are sleeping on your back and lightly vibrates to spur you to turn to the side and stop snoring. This Philips SmartSleep snoring relief band incorporates smart features that adjust vibration levels and patterns based on your responses during sleep.

I purchased this Ninja less than month ago, love the features, but not yet excited about the taste. Getting a lot of thick sediment on the bottom of the cup immediately when poured and moments after it's been brewed. PLEASE help...I love my coffee!
