The Skylight Calendar is a cool concept where you can see all your calendar events. Adding my first calendar was simple. I was able to add a gmail calendar fairly easy. Adding the second was tricky to find but I eventually was able to add another. My work calendar on exchange is giving me trouble which is what I want this for. It is not syncing at all with it. I like that you can assign chores, events or diner plans. There is a subscription service for other features which I hate that allows you to add pictures, videos ect. When I say I hate I mean I hate subscriptions to devices. They are making a feature that allows you to sync a calendar on a tv. Firestick shows up which makes me think it works with it. When I select other devices like apple tv or Samsung tv, it indicates its in development. If you want a family calendar to organize your family, this is great. If you want it for exchange, it may not be the device as it is not working for me. For me, everything this calendar offers I already have on my smart hub refrigerator and echo show.

One of our most affordable models, the XR ADVANCE is perfect for riders looking to introduce themselves to the world of electric scootering.
Posted by: ammcb
I love this little scooter. It’s compact and easy to use. Assembly is relatively easy. It comes with all the tools you need and the only thing you have to assemble is the handle bar and connect the brake. Once you assemble the handle bars, connect the brake, you are ready to go. You have to get up to 3mph before the scooter will propel itself. It’s not hard to get to that speed and once you are there, it goes. It makes out just over 15mph which is fast enough. It has disc brakes and has good stopping power. There is a headlight that works when riding at night. There is a digital display which shows speed and battery level. Charging is simple and the port is very convenient. When done riding, it folds up nicely and is easy to carry using the wheels. I can't say enough positve things about this scooter and have no negative comments. Certainly with it if you are in the market for a power scooter. It is solid and has a quality feel to it. Even came with a tire inflater adapter.

Get everyday storage and backup for your precious photos, videos, music, and daily files with the WD easystore portable drive. Lightweight, flash-based durability and fast access to quickly expand storage and help keep your important files safe on the go.

This Western Digital Easystore 1TB External USB3.0 Portable Drive has a lot of advantages. First, it is silent. As a solid state drive, it make no noise. It is very light weight and no vibrations when operating. It has built in software that is available when connecting. The PC version was very easy to use. My mac took some time to figure out. The case of the drive is made with plastic and is about the size of a traditional hard drive only thinner. It connects to a computer via a dated USB A. My computers only have USB C. The other end of the cable that connects to the to the drive is a port I’m not familiar with. The problem with it is it’s not east to swap out with a USB C cable and you end up using an adapter. This may seem minor but because it requires an adapter, this it the reason it is 4 stars. Otherwise, this device is perfect. If you use an older USB A connection, this will be perfect. I have used Western Digital drives for years and will continue to due to the high quality.

its an iPhone case. There is not much to say about an iPhone case so i'll review the product and the features. This is a clear iPhone case that fits over your iPhone. The material is a soft rubbery feel that is flexible, not hard. It is easy to apply and remove to your I phone and provides added protection for your iPhone. The case has access on the bottom for the microphone, usb-c port and speaker. On the right, there is direct access to the silence switch. The volume up and doesn't has access but it is inside the case. You press on the rubber and the buttons function. The same applies to the button to the right of the phone. On the back of the case for your iPhone, there is a cutout for the camera and flash. All of these are typical features of a phone case. Overall, the quality is good. The color of your phone is visible given the case is clear. THis case has all the features I wanted. THere are no magnets in this case but those never provided any use to me. I recommend this case.

It's a phone case for the iPhone. There is not much you can say about an iPhone phone case other than provide the details. This iPhone phone case is flexible, soft and is not a hard case. It allows your to easily put it on the phone and remove it should you need to. It has a nice soft grip feel to it and is fits over the phone perfectly. I have the newest iPhone and it was a perfect fit. It is very comfortable in you hand and wraps around the phone. There are no magnets in it nor is there anything that covers the screen. There is direct access to the USB-C port, the microphone and the speaker. Also, there is direct access to the silence switch. You can access the volume buttons but they are covered with the case but still function when you press. The same with the other button. There is a cutout for the camera as well. Overall, I like this case because I like softer cases. because it's transparent or clear, you can see the phone color through the case. Certainly a phone case you should consider.

It's a charger but here is what is different. First, the plug portion of the charging block folds into the block for a smaller profile when not in use or traveling. The cord that comes with it is also of high quality. It is thick and durable. The overall build quality is solid and the overall quality is high. It is a USB C charger which is where everything is going compared to traditional USB A at the source of plugging into the block. It is 30W giving you plenty of power to handle most charges. This is my first USB C block which gives me more versatility when charging newer electronics that come with USB C only cords, Other than the obvious, It does what it says and charges. even the iPhone has switched to USB C charging but the previous version came with a lighting bale with USB C at the block end. I previously used my laptop to plug it in but now this block solves that problem. Everyone needs one and many new devices no longer come with the charging block as standard. I highly recommend this.

Orbi Wi-Fi 7 is in a class of its own, designed for a new era of entertainment, hybrid work, and smart home convenience. The Orbi 970 Series unlocks the power of Wi-Fi 7 with speeds up to 27Gbps, 2.4X faster than Wi-Fi 6. Exclusive, patented Quad-Band technology with Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul ensures Wi-Fi stays fast across all devices simultaneously. In addition, the Orbi 970 brings exceptional 360° Wi-Fi coverage across every corner of your home, regardless of the layout, from the front door to the back yard and the basement to the rooftop. It includes a 1-year subscription of NETGEAR Armor, all-in-one internet security protection.
Posted by: ammcb
I received my NETGEAR - Orbi 970 today and there is much to say about this router. First, the speeds are amazing. I used to wire my satellites to improve speed but this router does not require wired satellites. I found I get the same speed whether they are wired or not. I have 1g internet speed. If the speed was higher, it may be different. You can set it up in AP mode in the event you have a provider that doesn’t allow you to use your own router. It has a web interface which I really like. I don’t like when routers are only app based. It comes with a security suite that is good for 1 year. The warranty is 1 year with 90 day tech support. At this price point, tech support should be a year. When you call tech support, they try to sell you on a two-year plan. This is the fastest router I have used. So why only 4 stars? Set up was very cumbersome. The basic set up was fairly easy, just followed the steps on the app. I had the original Orbi and switched to another router several years ago. All I had to do was set up the router and all wifi devices connected. I thought that would be the case here, but it wasn’t. I had to reconnect every device to the router. I have a lot of light switches that required me to remove them from the wire box to scan the QR code. My appliances had to be reconnected as well as my sound system. This took me 8 hours. At this price point, it should have been easier. If I was ranking this on setup, it would be 1 star. The other frustrating thing is the app is clunky. I prefer the web based connection and am glad it is available, but I had higher expectations at this price point. Whether you are on the apk, or call for support, they are selling features for this router. I just don’t like that. The router is big. It’s not a small device that is easy to conceal. Overall, the NETGEAR - Orbi 970 is in an elite category. Once setup is complete you will like it.

The Lawn Mower 5 worked well for me but was not perfect. I’ll highlight the strengths and weaknesses and struggles I had in certain areas. First, there are areas I like to completely shave which are very delicate and sensitive. There is a foil shaver attachment similar to what you see with other products that you attach and this performs well. On both edges of the foil section, there is a fine blade that will create edges and trim longer hairs. I had no issues with this. The other attachment is a blade with guards that allows you to shave to a specific length. I was disappointed with the limited attachments. It came with 3 different guards. The shortest length trimmed shorter than I anticipated. I like to trim the hair down to a very short length on my legs, arms and chest. This did work but it took several passes. In some areas, it took 10+ passes. I had a couple areas where it just wouldn’t trim and am not sure why. This is why I took off a star in my rating. I found it worked better when you used a raking motion verses the pushing motion you may find your hair stylist uses with hair clippers. For some reason, I got better results flipping it and pulling it over the area to trim. When using this the for the first time, I had no knicks. That’s a relief! Changing the blade to the foil attachment was not easy. I had to search the internet to see how to do it. It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out but once I did, it was fine. One other detail to mention, it does not come with a bag to store all the parts. I wish it did but seeing it is not advertised, I did not reflect this in my score. Overall, body trimming is something you want the right equipment for. There are many bad options and this ranks pretty good comparatively. There are limited options that will do sensitive areas and the Lawn Mower 5 performs well.

I love this Logitech keyboard and mouse. I have used many and few are worthy of a positive review. First, I wanted Blue Tooth connection. I’m not a fan of the USB dongle connections and you don’t have to plug anything in for it to work. It lets you connect his to three different computers. Connection is easy. My computer recognized it, I clicked a few prompts and entered a code. Just like that it worked. Changing to different devices is easy. The keyboard is quiet. No clunky noises. The keyboard is easy to type on. The mouse is really smooth too. Works really well with no lagging. The batteries are advertised to last up to three years too. Really great feature. You can customize keys and the mouse buttons too. Its small enough to be portable as well. I could not find anything negative about this. Many great features makes this a great device. Im very happy with this projuct and would not hesitate to recommend, If you are looking for a portable keyboard and mouse, this is a great option.

In competitive gaming, every frame matters. Introducing Acer's KA272 gaming monitor - the Full HD resolution monitor that can keep up with your game play. Through AMD FreeSync technology, the game’s frame rate is determined by your graphics card, not the fixed refresh rate of the monitor, giving you a serious competitive edge. Plus, users can enjoy comfortable viewing experience while gaming via flicker-less and low dimming display. The design saves space on your desk and lets you place multiple monitors side by side to build a seamless big-screen display.
Posted by: ammcb
Quality monitors are essential for any computer. I use it as a second screen on my laptop and have made it the primary screen. The Acer KA272 met every bit of my expectations. Be picky when selecting a monitor as it impacts your overall experience while using a computer. If you are using a screen smaller that 27”, you will soon find you love the larger size. The resolution is clear, with no flickering, or interference noise. It is soft on the eyes with several elements that can be customized. You are able to adjust the resolution and Acer makes it easy with a joystick-like button. There is nothing more annoying than trying to find the up, down, and select buttons and they make that task all in one. Out of the box, the stand is easy to assemble. It does have VESA mount capability if you have a built-in stand or want to mount it to a wall. It comes with an HDMI cable but also has a VGA connection. There is no speaker or camera on this monitor. At this price point, you should not expect one. Are there better monitors-Yes and they are way more expensive. At this price point, you get everything you want. Bottom line, It’s a great general all-purpose monitor that won’t strain your eyes and gives you a clear crisp view of your computer.

Do these come with extra inserts? I love the cone type insert that seems to fit my ears better. They were on the old wired beats by Dre and then the pair that went around you neck and were magnetic.
they come with different size inserts

Is the tablet portion of the laptop detachable like a 2 in 1? or is it attached like a normal laptop?
It doesn't detach but it pivots differently. It's not flimsy and it swings from the center. Hard to expaling but it gives you some really different setting versus the ones that just swing at the hinge.

Does this Wemo WiFi smart plug-outdoor, connect to a mesh WiFi system. I have some Wemo smart mini plugs thatonly connect to 2 ghz routers. The Mesh system I have doesn’t distinguish between 2 and 5 ghz bands, so the Wemo mini plugs do not connect my wifi
I have mine on a mesh system but that doesn't mean it will work on yours. It depends on the brand. While I cant see it not working, I can't account for every type of router.

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?
It is not a GFI outlet. Technically, outlets outside should be GFI by code negating the need for this to be GFI. You cannot control the outlets independent of each other.. Both are either on or off and controlled together as a pair. .
