The Shark Vertex Powered Lift-Away is an ultra-powerful Shark upright, featuring DuoClean PowerFins. While the soft front roller pulls in particles, PowerFins deliver nonstop contact to pick up more in every pass (vs. original DuoClean). Plus, Powered Lift-Away lets you detach the pod to go under furniture with the motorized nozzle, or clean above the floor with a push of a button.

This is a fairly lightweight vacuum for an upright, a bit heavy if you are used to a cordless or if, like me, you have arthritis, but it is easy to maneuver and the swivel head helps that along. Fortunately, you really don't have to lift it as it does glide along well. The button for the three settings of hardwood, low and high pile carpet make transitioning easy if you have hardwood floors and area rugs. The cord is long so there is no need to constantly be switching outlets. The canister is a good size and easy to empty. There is a washable HEPA filter to cut down on the usual dust a vacuum puts out. The self-cleaning roll brush seems to live up to its name so far, which I appreciated. It detaches into a hand-held which makes it easy to do stairs and get to places the an upright has difficulty reaching - even with the swivel head that works great for corners. With the pod off, it can even easily clean under furniture. With a cat, dog and grandkids running around, it really did the job picking up dirt and animal hair, leaving things looking clean. The only con I've seen so far is that the pet brush isn't as well made as I expected but given it also didn't have hair wrapped around the brush, it does do what it says.

I'm a Ninja Foodi groupie so I was already expecting great things from the Foodi Power Pitcher System. There are, though, several things that impressed me and took me beyond my expectations. The Quick Start Guide is very good and allows people like me, who have to try my new toy immediately, what I need to know to work my System. While I recommend reading the Owner's Guide first, the Quick Start Guide is very handy to use as a refresher especially if you are new to making certain things. The Owner's Guide is pretty thorough in explaining how to use and also how to maintain your system and it is written in easy to understand language with lots of images to help people understand. It doesn't tell you, however, how to layer things but you get that information in the recipe book. Again, I found the instructions easy to understand and the recipes all look interesting.
While I expected the System to do the basics that a blender and food processor would do, I was impressed to find it does more. It will chop and mince your raw meat. It will make a variety of dough, not just some cookie or brownie dough. It makes edible (not just drinkable) smoothies, called a smoothie bowl. As I have one child who has difficulty drinking things like smoothies or milkshakes, now she can have the equivalent of a healthy soft serve. I'm so glad I now have this system and are looking forward to all the things I'm going to be able to do with it.

Power disturbances can cause equipment damage and lessen your electronic devices lifespan.During power disturbances, you also risk losing connection to your critical devices. Ensure you keep connected to what matters the most with APC Back-UPS.

Sometimes life just has good timing. I received this on a Friday and plugged it in to start charging. On Saturday I plugged in my modem and my wifi extender. On Sunday we had an unexpected power outage. The power was only out for about an hour and a half but it was enough to let me know that I don't have to worry about that in the future. There was no disruption of our wifi at all. Given a blink will cause the modem to reset, you can see why I'm pleased. Our wifi worked for the whole time of the outage with no problems. I'm very happy with this battery backup outlet and think this will make a pretty good gift this Christmas.

I got this as one of my daughters has returned to the nest and her Chromebook was on its last legs - still worked but limping. She is not the most computer savvy person so I thought this may work for her. She had absolutely no problems setting up the laptop or connecting it to the wireless printer. She loves how quick it responds to her commands and also how fast the internet is now. She is very comfortable with the keyboard. This is her first 2in1 so she is thrilled that she can use it as a laptop or a tablet. The screen resolution is average at the moment but we're going to see if there is a way to make it better, this just may be the default. The reason for the loss of a star is the hinges on this Dell. To me, they don't seem real sturdy and I'm concerned about how long they will last before something cracks or breaks. Other than that, this is a really good computer for general use and, as my college-age daughter may need a new computer for the next semester, we are considering getting her one as well.

One of the big complaints at my house has been not being able to print from mobile phones. Apparently in this day and age people do more than just talk and text! So we got this printer in the hopes that it would work for the younger generation. There was an initial problem with setup but as it was done with our least tech savvy member, I don't attribute it entirely to the printer. The HP app downloaded easily to the smartphone and after a few stumbles, printer connectivity was achieved. The kids are thrilled as they can now easily print what they need to from their phones instead of emailing it to me so I can print it. It is good quality printing and very quiet. Not the fastest in printing but by no means is it the slowest either. I like the document feeder myself. As for the instant ink, that will depend on how much someone uses their printer. Great idea for those who use it a lot but I need to wait and see just how much the kids will end up printing when they finish playing with it. All in all, a good printer and it addresses the needs for all generations.

Wow, does this do the job! We have a lot of noise around our house with people going in and out as well as a new rescue dog who barks, a lot, so trying to listen to anything can be difficult at times. Not anymore. Two daughters played with these and both said it was the best noise-canceling earbuds they've tried and they've tried a lot. While the description says it cancels 90% of ambient sound, they both said that they heard very little unless it was an extremely loud noise, like a dog barking in the next room, and even that was relegated to more of a whisper. One liked that she could regulate how much noise was canceled. The microphone works great and the sound was very clear on both ends. They both said they were comfortable to use and then we had the debate on who would get to keep it and who would get the one we will have to buy for their birthday - the July one has to wait! I would definitely recommend these earbuds - two women who live for their phones and music give it 5 stars.

Molekule Air features 360-degree air intake that replaces the air in a 600-square-foot room. The device uses two filters. The Pre-Filter captures larger particles like dust and pet hair. The PECO-Filter, coated with a proprietary light-activated catalyst, breaks down VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, allergens, and other pollutants at a molecular level. Molekule Air then releases clean air evenly across the entire room.

We have three people in our home with some type of asthma so I wanted to try something that may help keep the air free of allergens. I've tried other air purifiers which just didn't seem to do the job. This one does. It's perfect for the downstairs open floor plan and within a day we could tell the difference in air quality. My asthma is allergy induced and I stopped having any difficulty within that day, as long as I was downstairs in the open area. It has done so well we are planning to get minis for each of the bedrooms as well. There is an app that comes with this so you can adjust settings via your phone. My main con with this unit is the noise. While not overbearing, it can be distracting so placement of the unit is very important. I should note here that we have a very quiet house and live on a very quiet street so all noise can be distracting.

My unit was delivered in the middle of a snowstorm so this is perhaps not the right time of year for trying my new unit. However, New England can get hot very quickly so we wanted to make sure it fit and worked before we repurposed our old unit. First, installation was very easy. We were a bit worried as our window is a bit bigger than normal but there were no problems. We ran it to make sure it worked and it was great. It was very quiet so no problems there. As it is in an office where there will be clients, that is important. While the room was not hot as it was one of the coldest days of the week, we were able to tell that the air got cold so should do a good job. The remote is a nice feature as well as it will be easy to regulate the temperature manually. Given we're supposed to have snow again this weekend, I'm not sure when we will be able to enjoy the full features of this unit but I'm pretty sure that overheating will not be happening.

I started with the Walkman and graduated to one of these, only this is so much better. It fit great in my jacket pocket and no skipping as I was walking around. My speakers were able to plug into it just fine as well. The volume control is great as it gradually gets louder. It goes back to low when I shut it off so no more blown eardrums when I go from using it with a speaker to earphones. I'll be buying this as a gift for my friends who still have their CD collections.

Dyson's intelligent and powerful cordless vacuum with twice the suction of any cord-free vacuum.*
Posted by: ladilyn
from Worcester County, MA
My first thought upon opening the box was that it was a bit heavy for me. I would not be able to use it for any length of time but it would be okay if I just did one room at a time. As I wanted to put it through its paces, I called on my daughter to try it (easy way to get her to do the vacuuming). She had no problems with the weight. We tried this on wood, tile and linoleum flooring as well as 2 different types of rugs. It worked great on all of them. The boost feature even got out some ground in dirt/salt/sand from the carpet near the front door. Emptying it was a breeze, just press a button and the container comes out and you can just dump it. The cordless feature makes it easy to go everywhere without having to constantly stop and find another outlet. This certainly lives up to Dyson's reputation.
