This Logitech webcam has made working from home with multiple computers so much easier. I unfortunately use both a laptop, and a desktop that was in desperate need of a webcam. I have been a Logitech fan for what feels like forever, and this webcam is no different. As with any webcam, there is always the anxiety that the camera is on and you do not realise it, but this webcam has a little light built in to warn you if it is on or not. In addition to the light, the fact that it has a built-in shutter for the camera for the extra peace of mind. Compared to my coworkers' cameras, most of which are MacBooks or Mac Airs, the quality of this Logitech camera is much better, but I wouldn’t say it would be ideal for more than video conferencing or simple work matters. The microphone does the job, it is a little too sensitive as it catches sounds from the house that I would prefer it to cancel out. My one complaint is the overall look/finish of the cameras design. The black plastic "speckle" looks awful, when I unboxed it I tried to get dust off of it, but realised it wasn't dust. It just looks not look clean as it sits on the computer. Overall, this is a great webcam though if you’re just doing day to day work conferencing, etc. I would not recommend it for content creation.

Protect your sensitive electronics and direct-charge everything from smartphones to laptops with the new Revolve45. Turn any standard wall outlet into a seven-point power center with one USB-C, two USB-A and four patented rotating AC outlets. In addition to adding industry-leading power capability, Revolve45’s striking design looks beautiful on the wall. Subtle and fluid surfacing as well as the use of unique textures and finishes, work together to convey thoughtful and considered attention to every detail.

This Revolve45 surge protector is such a great upgrade to a regular old outlet. With how expensive some electronics are these days, it's very comforting to have this many devices being protected while plugged in, its a no brainer really. I also love that the surge protector comes with a screw to hold it to your outlet with a simple swap of your outlet cover screw. There is nothing worse than going to plug something out of an outlet adapter and the whole adapter comes out of the outlet instead, unplugging everything at once. It is fully secured as long as you change the screw. I also love how the 4 outlets rotate, it's very convenient for those devices that have larger plugs. I have used other outlet surge protectors like this before with the rotating outlets, but their rotating function was awesome. This Revolve45 rotation is so much smoother and easier to use, and it does not feel like it could break at any second compared to other competitors out there. My only small gripe about the Revolve45 is that it is a little larger than expected. I first tried putting it in the outlet next to my bed but even with my bed frame moved as far over as it can go, the surge protector still could not fit there so I had to pick a different outlet. Not the end of the world, just something to think about if you are looking at using this at a specific outlet. Overall this Revolve45 surge protector is an excellent accessory for electronics and I highly recommend it.

This car charger has worked as expected, and then some. It came with the USB-C to USB-C wire for my phone which I appreciated, and when I plugged it in for the first time, my phone made a noise I had never heard before, and it said it was super fast charging, which I have also never seen, only fast charging before that. I immediately thought, how have I lasted this long without this?! It was impressive how fast my phone charged with this. This charger is also a perfect size, especially for travel, or just keeping it in the car to charge your phone, bluetooth headphones, tablet, etc. I also like how the face of the charger lights up, it is not necessary but it is a nice feature that helps know it is getting power at a quick glance. My one complaint about this is that the face of the charger sticks out farther than most chargers from the plug, causing it to be bumped more. I have been bumping the charger itself and the wire that sticks out even further. I wish it sat more flush to the outlet, but it is not a deal breaker. Overall I have been very happy with this charger and I would recommend it, I might even consider getting a bigger one for the future.

Master your flow with the MX Keys S Combo Wireless Mouse and Keyboard — the ultimate combo that combines the power of the fluid, fast precision typing of MX Keys S Wireless Keyboard with the precise, fast scrolling experience of MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse.
Posted by: Katie
Logitech really knocked it out of the park with with MX Keys S combo set. I have been thoroughly impressed from the moment I opened the box. First off, they keyboard and mouse are heavy and feel like a nice quality item. They are not heavy in a bad way, they are just solid materials and a solid weight that would make the keyboard stay in place at your desk. And the mouse does not feel like a cheap piece of plastic in your hand at all, if you squeeze it you feel no plastic flexing and creaking in it, it is just built like a tank. My only minor con is the size of the mouse, it is a smidge big for my smaller hands, but I have always had smaller than average hands and I cannot fault Logitech for it at all. It is still comfortable to use all day, it would just be more comfortable if it was a little smaller. I use this keyboard and mouse set at work and when my boss temporarily used my computer, he commented on how nice my mouse is within seconds of using it. Over the years I have been able to use a lot or different keyboard and mice for my personal super computer, as well as my work computers, and this is easily my favorite keyboard and mouse, especially the keyboard. It is the perfect size, the buttons are sized well, the bezel is not obnoxious oversized, even the letters on the keys seem slightly bigger than all other keyboards, which has been helpful when I lean back further away from my computer. The key clicking sound and feel is amazing, in my opinion just perfect. Not a single key squeaks or feels like there is an imperfection. And the backlit keys is a game changer that I cannot ever go back from. The battery life on both pieces is impressive as well, I use this set for 40+ hours a week and have barely had to charge it since receiving it. Overall, I cannot recommend this Logitech keyboard set enough.

Dyson Airstrait dries and straightens simultaneously from wet to dry. Engineered to create a natural straight finish for multiple hair types. No hot plates.No heat damage.¹ Your routine, simplified.
Posted by: Katie
I have been loving using this Dyson airstrait straightener! It is easily the most unique hair tool I have ever used or even seen, but now that I have been using it and seeing it's results I cannot recommend it enough! My hair routine prior to the Dyson airstrait was showering and washing my hair at night, blow drying it with a hairbrush. And then straightening my hair in the morning for about 10 minutes, not getting it perfect but at least getting any major kinks out of it. However now that I have been using the Dyson airstrait after my shower, my hair is way more straight when I go to bed, and I have a lot less straightening to do in the morning. I cannot believe how straight it comes out going from wet hair, it literally looks and feels like I just spent 45 minutes blow drying and then perfectly straightening it, but it only took about 10 minutes. The auto pause function is great as well, if I need both hands for a minute and set it down, it auto stops when no motion is detected, and as soon as it feels motion it starts again. I also love that if needed, I can pinch the two arms together and the air shooting out is basically like a normal hairdryer. It really is a multipurpose tool for your hair and it's so worth it. I cannot recommend this enough for anyone who has longer hair!

The Oura Ring and the Oura Membership ($5.99/mo plus tax) work hand-in-hand to help you feel your best. Monitor your sleep, activity levels, temperature, stress, heart rate, and more with the most trusted Smart Ring. Whether you’re focusing on your fitness or want to improve your sleep, Oura helps you take control of your health — in style.
Posted by: Katie
The Oura Ring has been a really great addition to my daily life as I continue to work towards a healthier version of myself. I am always looking for new ways to keep track of my health and day to day lifestyle and the use of a "smart ring" really intrigued me, especially with the claims that measuring from the finger is the highest in accuracy. Prior to getting the Oura Ring I wore my galaxy watch everyday, as well as a whoop so I had fun and was interested in comparing the results of all 3 and it really helped me figure out what device is best for certain people. The Oura Ring was very easy to determine size with the sizing kit, I noticed the accuracy of the Ring size compared to the sizing kit was not exact, but fairly close. My Ring felt a little more snug once it arrived. The packaging was great, and the setup was a breeze. The app basically did all the work for me. The ring is fairly comfortable, as someone who has never been a ring wearer, I am able to get by without this one bothering me throughout the day. The battery also lasts incredibly long, I have already taken it on two trips and did not even bring the charger along because the battery life lasts that long. I think the Oura app could use a little bit more work though, it seems to run slow and take awhile to bring up my data as I try to navigate different pages or days. I also question the rings accuracy when it comes to sleep data as my other two watches tend to always match in data, but the ring says something much different. I think if you are not the most active person, but are looking for a convenient way to keep on top of your health info, then the Oura Ring is a great option for you. However if you are a pretty active person, specifically someone who lifts weights, this may not be the best option for you, it is very uncomfortable to use while using dumbells or gym equipment and I have pinched my hand several times. Not to mention the fact that the handles very easily scratch the backside of the ring, I either take my ring off now or put a small piece of gaffers tape on the ring to protect it. If you are looking to closely track your health including during workouts, a watch type monitor may be better than the ring from my experience. Overall this Oura Ring has been an awesome little device to wear and see what it learns and can teach me about my body and health.

These JVC headphones left a lot to be desired. They are one of the worst fitting headphones I have tried, no matter how I position the ear buds in my ears or how far in I shove them. I also have tried every different ear but tip the headphones came with and even the best fitting option still falls out of my ears every couple minutes. When they are in my ears I can constantly feel them slowly easing their way out of my ears. It feels like the ear buds are very heavy and also stick pretty far out so they fall out easily. They do not lay flush with you ears like some headphones do. The noise cancelling feature was the most impressive function of these headphones. I used these while cutting the grass and I was impressed with how much engine noise was minimised by them. I was also not exactly impressed with the sound quality of these headphones, the sound of them is pretty flat and lacks a lot of base. Overall these headphones are just okay. I would not really recommend them unless maybe for kids or someone who does not care about audio quality.

This Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Face and Body has been an all around total knock out so far. All of its features check off so many boxes for users, including my partner. This trimmer came uncharged but it charged quickly and it has been on a roll ever since, the battery life has impressed us. This kit specifically has a huge array of attachments and adjustments that the user can make depending on the styling they are going for and where they are using the trimmer. The attachment with the adjustable length feels a bit flimsy but so far it has held up. My partner has put this trimmer to the test and honestly feels like it can get exactly what he is going for and does not feel limited by the device. The 360 flexing head seems to make a big difference with comfort as well as the shaving outcome. He had no complaints about the trimmer snagging or pinching him, and he even complimented on how precise it felt. A huge plus is that it is 100% waterproof, we had zero issues after getting it wet. The only minor complaint we had for this trimmer was how noisy it was, it is definitely a rough sound than some more expensive trimmers out there, but for the price and all the features it brings to the table, we will take the noise. Overall we really recommend this face and body trimmer, it will handle the majority of most users' needs and must have features.

This Symbodi wall mounted massager has been a very useful tool in several ways. It feels great after working out, but it also feels great after a long day of having to work in front of a computer with lackluster posture. I see a chiropractor weekly and I am known for holding my stress in my shoulders, upper back and neck and this has helped me find trigger points and keep them under control. The device itself is impressive, I was doubting the suction before giving it a try but it is very powerful and proved me wrong. I only had it come off the wall once and it was due to an imperfection I didn't notice before attaching the device. Every other use though, it has stayed in place. My only two gripes are one, I wish the ball rolled smoother. It is pretty stiff and I keep wanting to use some sort of silicone spray to lube it up, but then I realize that would go right onto my skin or clothing so I'm just dealing with it. It does sometimes feel like the mall is not even spinning and my body is just moving over it while it sits still. I still get a decent result though so I guess it is okay. My only other gripe is purely aesthetic, it is the material of the plastic, it is a very rough and unfinished surface, almost looks dry or like it has fiberglass in it. I would have liked to see a smoother or glossy finish that makes it look more complete. Again it does not affect the function of the device, just an aesthetic thing. Overall I would highly recommend this to literally anyone but especially people who have back pain and tension, sit at a desk daily, or works out.

I am loving this Brother inkjet printer! Despite it being the largest and most complex household printer I have interacted with yet, it has so far been the easiest to work with by far. The setup was very easy and it nearly set itself up by itself. The only thing I had to do was connect to my home network, add the ink and paper and tell it what paper I added, and scan the print test sheets. From the time I opened the box to the time I was printing something was 10 minutes at the most. A huge plus to the large size of this unit is the enormous built in scanner. When I opened the cover and saw the size of the scanner space my jaw literally dropped. It's the largest I have seen aside from maybe huge office printers, but even then this scanner may be larger. As a photographer who often scans and prints photos, this has me so excited! Loading the ink cartridges and adding paper to the tray is very easy, and the user interface on the screen seems great so far. There are no sensitivity issues and the screen size seems sufficient enough. The one thing I noticed is that the actual print job is a little slow compared to many other printers I have used, but the quality comes out great so I cannot complain about the amount of time it takes to print it. Considering it is an inkjet printer, I was also pretty happy with the actual photo printing capabilities of this printer. I tried printing a few 4x6 glossy photos and they came out pretty decent. I would not buy this as a photo printer though, the quality is not there to for it to be a mainly photo printer. Also took me a few tries to learn that the 4x6 photos needed to be put in upside down in order to be printed on the correct side, I made that mistake easily. Overall this printer is excellent for most households and if scanner size is a priority for you, this is an excellent option!
