Excellent 4 Slice Toaster
on January 19, 2021
Posted by: WesternSky
from Florida
This is a very modern looking toaster appliance which I love. Since it is a 4 slice toaster it does command a wider counter-top space footprint. It has very easy to use controls and you can set your browning adjustments from 1 to 7. The appliance did a nice job toasting both bread and bagels. If you use the bagel setting, the toaster only operates the inside elements therefore you need to place the cut side facing inwards. If you like your bagel toasted on both sides, just use the regular setting of the toaster.
Before using the appliance for the first time, you should operate the unit empty once or twice in order to burn off the smell on the new elements using the darkness control set to 7. I found that after the second cycle of the empty burn, the appliance no longer produced any smell.
Overall this is a wonderful product with a 4 slice capability which has separate controls. Its stainless steel look is modern and fits well in any kitchen. Registering your product is made easy as you can scan the QR code that automatically populates your products name and serial number. Super easy, awesome. Great product.

The Filtrete™ Standard Under Sink Quick Change Water Filtration System 3US-AS01 is easy to install and maintain. It's an under sink water filtration system that connects to the kitchen or bath faucet.
Posted by: WesternSky

This 3M filtrete filter is an overall good product. Installation was pretty straight forward and I found that all the necessary items were included for its installation. If you are familiar with a wrench and screw driver, you'll probably have an easy go of it with the installation. If not, you might need to employ the service of a handyman or plumber.
The product is advertised as being good either for 2,000 gallons of usage or a 6 month period of time. At the time of installation my cities municipality was heavy chlorinating our water and this filter did a pretty good job of removing the smell. I was quite happy with the taste and smell of my drinking water.
As far as the water flow was concerned, after installation flow remained at a decent level. The filter is advertised as being a 1/4 turn when replaced, which definitely makes it an easy task when it comes to its replacement. I had no problems with water leaks for which I was very happy about.
Overall, very happy with this product. Ease of installation, all supplied parts are included and no trips to the local hardware store. Definitely a winner in my opinion.

Awesome Center Channel Speakers!
on December 22, 2020
Posted by: WesternSky

I am an audiophile who takes great pleasure from my stereo equipment. These center channel speakers produce really nice robust sounds. Clear, crisp and sharp sounds. My center speakers were coupled with the B&W 603 S2 Anniversary edition speakers and they complement each other with amazing results. Very nice match for these products.
I listened to a wide variety of music through these speakers and all genres sounded awesome. These center channel speakers are an absolute must for floor standing speakers.
B&W has a hit on its hand with its great design and superb output.
Truly an outstanding product which I believe that you will love as much as I do.

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) knocks the ball out of the park with these superb speakers. B&W is a quality product that gave me an awesome listening experience. I am an audiophile who takes great pleasure from my stereo equipment. These speakers have superb highs, deep lows, clear crisp mid-range sounds and delivered a room full of robust sounds. My speakers were coupled with the B&W 600 Series Anniversary Edition Center Channel Speaker and a Yamaha TSR-700 7.1 Channel Network AV Receiver. For informational purposes, I have a turntable which is 44 years old (a Marantz model 6320) and its coupled with a Shure V15 Type 3 cartridge and stylus.
The manufacturer recommends that the user allow these speakers to stabilize over a weeks period with regards to temperature and 15 hours of usage so that the mechanical parts attain their intended design characteristics. From my initial unpacking, hookup and actual playing of these speakers I was totally blown away. I highly enjoy quality sounding music and I definitely got my monies worth with this set-up. Pure listening pleasure.
The only assembly required is its speakers base, which fastens onto the bottom of the speakers via the 4 supplied screws.
Power handling requirement of these speakers range from 30 to 200 Watts and they come with a 5 year warranty which is a very generous amount of time. My Yamaha TSR-700 power output is 100 RMS and its more than enough power to adequately drive these speakers with plenty to spare.
I listened to a wide variety of music through these speakers and all genres sounded awesome. I have to admit that the B&W Center Channel speaker mentioned above (in paragraph 1) is a must for these floor standing speakers. They complement each other, are an absolutely great match and produce amazing sound.
B&W has a hit on its hand. Great design, superb output and concert hall acoustics is what you get! Truly an outstanding product which I believe that you will love too.

The BEST on the market!
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: WesternSky
from Florida
My favorite pump!
The Elvie is the best pump I’ve tried! I own two other pumps: a Medela wired pump and a Freemie handsfree pump. I like the Elvie significantly more than the other two, and I am always reaching for this one over the other ones!
This pump is portable with no wires or tubes so you’re not forced to be attached to a wall outlet or getting tangled up in wires. I multitask as I pump - I work from home, care for my baby, clean the house, wash dishes, and cook dinner.
The pump is very comfortable to wear. It is easy to put together and easy to clean. It also has a really nice battery life - I pump for 15 minutes for 5 sessions on one charge. The volume output is phenomenal for me! I was able to pump out the same amount as my other two pumps (I can pump about 3 ounces in 10 minutes the Elvie). The pump is very quiet as well. It sounds a little bit like a printer. This makes pumping in public with the Elvie very discreet.
The Elvie app is amazing - you can control the pump from it (e.g., letdown mode to stimulation mode). It also estimates how much volume you’ve pumped from each breast.
If you have any troubleshooting issues, the customer service for Elvie is at your service. Nice touch.
Overall, I love this pump!I It makes being a working mom less stressful!

Wow! I LOVE these headphones.
on October 22, 2020
Posted by: WesternSky
from Florida
The sound is fantastic. It is clearly the standout feature of these headphones. I listen to a lot of music in various genres. I also used the headphones to watch movies and videoconference. While I didn't use these strictly for gaming, the sound was amazing for everything I tried! The sound is also fully customizable using Roccat’s SWARM software. The software only makes the sound better.
The mic is also very handy. I used these to videoconference and everyone commented that my sound was so clear compared to all the other videoconferences. The mic is detachable for when you are just listening and not speaking. The noise canceling is fantastic also. There was a baby in the same room as I and I couldn't hear when she cried - a good and a bad thing!
These headphones are very comfortable to wear for me; I wore then for 5 hours without even remembering they were there. They are very lightweight. The volume/sound controls are easy to access when you are wearing the headphones as well. The battery is touted to last for 24 hours. When I was finished with them they were still almost nearly fully charged after many hours of use.
Overall, a great pair of headphones!

This is one awesome mouse which I love! It is beautifully crafted, balanced, fits well in my hand and has a very smooth feel while in operation. This mouse has AIMO LED lighting and if you've never seen it, it's very cool looking. Light and color patterns change when actively using the mouse. The same is true for Roccat keyboards which I am the proud owner of. Way cool!
Downloaded software from "Swarm" enables you to customize this mouse in awesome and different ways. For example, the software allows the user to customize button assignment. I was amazed that you can browser forward or backwards with button numbers 8 and 9. This was extremely helpful especially if you wished to go back or forward during searches.
This is a great gaming mouse that's highly responsive. I had no issues tracking on different surfaces types such as wood, glass or formica. I tested this mouse on my Mac and Windows PC computers alike and it worked perfectly on each computer. It has a smooth silky feeling, and I didn't experience and problems such as mouse stutter or jumpy behavior. Total smooth operation was the norm. I found it very comfortable and easy to use. Definitely a great product you'll be happy with.

The ROCCAT® Vulcan series of gaming keyboards have won an array of awards on the back of their design innovation and functional aesthetics. The ROCCAT® Vulcan 121 AIMO Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard is a full-size keyboard variant and features the renowned Linear Titan Switch Mechanical. A marvel of German engineering, this switch delivers the industry’s best in speed and responsiveness. It adds to a comprehensive feature set that gamers know and love about the Vulcan keyboard series. The low-profile design is engineered for comfort and to reduce typing fatigue, impressive durability and build quality thanks to its reinforcing black anodized aluminum top plate, and switch housings designed to resist the dust build-up that typically affects mechanical keyboards. Dedicated mixer-style audio controls, a detachable palm rest and per-key AIMO RGB lighting, round out a gaming powerhouse.

I was really anxious to use my new Roccat Vulcan 121 keyboard. The AIMO lighting system of this keyboard is stunning, absolutely gorgeous. Pure beauty! There is nothing left to ones imagination and its really awesome looking! Customization of keyboard color schemes and some individual keys with "Swarm" software makes all of this tweaking possible. I had no problems or issues with the Swarm software. You'll just have to download it and have with it.
Keyboard hook-up was a no brainer. Just plug the device directly into your computers tower. It's as simple as that.
Out of the box the keyboard has a real solid feeling and the braided cable is really outstanding! The cheap plastic or rubber cable is gone forever. This keyboard has extendable legs allowing for it to the tilted towards the user. It definitely makes for an easier typing position and is a welcomed feature of this keyboard. It also has a magnetic wrist rest (which makes it fully detachable), from the main part of the keyboard. It's designed to lessen wrist fatigue especially during long gaming and computer sessions. You should note that the wrist rest is unpadded and offers no "soft" protection. Since the detachable wrist pad is removeable, it offers up more space for those consumers who have a limited amount of desk space.
Keyboard responsiveness is keen. Lightning fast response time gives you a competitive edge while gaming. The keys have a nice tactile feel. Having finger tipped rounded shaped keys definitely has an awesome feel. The top of the keys cradle your fingertips.
I really enjoyed this awesome keyboard. In a nutshell, it is by far the best that I have ever owned and used. Titan Switch Speed is highly responsive, smooth and fast and in my opinion cuts the competition to pieces. Game on!

Upgrade your daily cooking with this Instant Pot Duo Nova pressure cooker. The 8-quart capacity holds enough food for up to eight people, while the 14 one-touch smart programs simplify meal preparation. This Instant Pot Duo Nova pressure cooker includes a steam rack, soup spoon and measuring cup for convenience.

I've always had a pressure cooker in my home, which admittedly went mostly unused.
I really love this multifunctional pressure product. It is a slow cooker, warmer, yogurt maker, a pressure cooker, rice cooker, and a steamer rolled into one appliance.
The first thing that I tried was cooking brown rice. In my household, making brown rice was always a difficult task as it never seemed to come out fully cooked. Each and every time I cooked brown rice, I found myself with undercooked rice. Enter the Instapot! Perfect results were achieved both with white or brown rice. No more guesswork, just amazing results.
I also cooked a hungarian goulash (better known as beef stew). Super tender beef, nicely cooked veggies and flavorful juices. Pure heaven if you like this kind of dish.
I especially enjoyed the warming feature especially if I cooked a meal ahead to time and wasn't quite ready to serve the dish. You now have the capability to keep food warm and serve your dish at a later time.
This is a versatile product and fairly easy to learn to use. The product seems very well made, cooks fast and has an spare gasket. I felt completely safe while this product was in use, as its construction is SOLID. It looks great in my kitchen! You can also download a recipe app. This pressure cooker is high on my recommended list and if you're in the market for a new one, look no further. You'll be happy with this product!

The Bella multifunctional air fryer is a sleek machine which I love. Its decorum fit well with my kitchen with its partial stainless steel look.
I had the chance to prepare many dishes for a family reunion with awesome results. I cooked an array of foods ranging from muffins, rotisserie chicken, fries, and vegetables. We loved the fact that taste wasn't compromised due to a lack of cooking oils, and results were fantastic! The real big hit was the rotisserie chicken which quite honestly was scrumptious. Having a drip tray was a big help when it came to fat drippings and aided clean up.
I also dehydrated some pineapple with amazing results. Having several included racks made it possible to dehydrate a fairly good amount. The dehydration process is not a quick one and takes many hours to complete. This unit has an internal light which makes for easy viewing.
The preparation of frozen store bought pizza exceeding a diameter of 10 inches is out of the question, as there is a 10 inch size limitation. Most store bought pizza measures in at 12 inches. On a positive note, you can prepare pizza bagels, and your own homemade pizza that's 10 inches or smaller.
The overall strength of the oven racks in my opinion was adequate, although I would have like to seem them constructed a little stronger. Racks are all coated with a non-stick surface which made cleanup a lot more enjoyable. A little trick that I learned was to line your racks with a piece of tinfoil. When cooking was complete, just throw out the tinfoil and you had pretty clean racks.
Even though this product has a capacity of 12.6 quarts, I would have preferred to have more available cooking space. It would have been nice to have an extra 2 inches needed to prepare a full size 12 inch pizza. Along those lines, it would have also been nice if interior space would allow for a larger chicken to be cooked rotisserie style.
Overall I was quite pleased with the very versatile Bella air fryer. Cooking was easy, less oil was needed or totally un-needed (depending upon what I was cooking) and desired results were good. The overall build quality seems to be good and I hope to enjoy years of trouble free use. It is a nice appliance and should be a welcomed edition to most consumers homes.

The Acer Tablet is an absolute delight. This is my fist experience with a tablet and what a nice surprise. My whole family doesn't want to put it down! The processor is fast, doesn't get hot even after extended periods of use and does most everything my home computer does. The tablet keyboard is very responsive and has a great feel to it. So far battery life has been amazing. Lots of use with SKYPE, emails, and internet browsing and battery life indicates plenty of charge. Having a great battery life will make you very happy. The tablet is very lightweight and has a great color display. The Acer tablet is very simple to operate, which is another plus. I am totally satisfied and very happy to own this product.

Not so dynamite
December 14, 2016
I have to honestly put some updates to my review of this item. One or two days after the posting of my review this tablet become inoperable. Acer customer service had me factory reset this tablet. That option did not solve the problem. I had to ship this tablet back to Acer for repair. Tablet was received back from repair and the tablet once again is is need of repair after 6 days of use. Tablet has a sluggish response time, does not respond to Google search normally, stumbles when switching programs, and the list goes on. Asked Acer to replace this detective unit, as their customer service wants me to send it in for repairs once again! This unit has no reliability and consumers should be very careful. What an inconvenience as this tablet has less than three weeks use on it and now needs another repair. My five star rating of this unit should be changed to one star. The only positive for this tablet is battery life. I am very, very disappointed with this unit.

Concoct a variety of coffee-based beverages with this combination DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine. Its cappuccino system easily prepares perfectly frothed coffee, and its 24-hour programmable timer lets you make up to 10 cups of brew on your schedule. This DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine also makes lattes and hot chocolate.

By WesternSky
from Florida
Our home is a coffee drinkers paradise, so the receipt of the DeLonghi was highly anticipated and welcomed. This household consumes at least 16 cups of coffee per day, which does not include the consumption of Cuban Coffee (Turkish/Greek Coffee as others call it) which is currently brewed through non-conventional means. What is meant by that is that Cuban/Turkish/Greek Coffee is not made with a specialty "coffee maker".
The DeLonghi is designed for the brewing of a variety of coffee-based beverages such as American Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Lattes, Hot Chocolate, as well as Cuban/Turkish and Greek coffees. It's cappuccino system easily prepares perfectly frothed coffee, and its 24-hour programmable timer lets you make up to 10 cups of your favorite brew on your personalized schedule. Great news for those users that like the option of using and brewing specialized coffees with ESE pods, as this machines allows for the use of them.
The DeLonghi has a quite a few niceties (some of which I will mention here, and others later on in my review), such as auto shut-off which promotes safe operation. This feature will turn your machine off after 2 hours. The unit has water filtration which helps you achieve that perfect cup of coffee. Also standard with this unit is a cup warmer. NICE touch!
This unit has a removable water tank which allows for easy refilling for when making Espresso, Cappuccino, Cuban, and Greek/Turkish coffee. Just detach the water tank and fill it underneath your kitchen sink faucet. YES! It should be noted the the drip coffee maker has a separate water supply which is not removable. This means that you have to fill the water tank by adding water via a pull out assembly that harbors that coffee filter housing. Noteworthy is the fact that the DeLonghi does not have that "plastic smell " which is almost always present in new coffee makers. Thank Goodness! A word concerning the coffee filter. The unit comes with a permanent metal mesh filter, meaning that you can throw out your paper filters! No more fumbling at 6:00 am trying to separate a paper coffee filter from that multi-pack! There is a removable drip tray keeps your counter tops nice and clean.The drip tray has a hidden "float" and when the water level get too high, the "tip" of the float sticks out through the grill which alerts you to spill out the excess water. This is very cool. This unit also comes with a cup warming surface located on-top of the machine. This is real nice, as many coffee drinkers are located in cold climates and the extra hand warmth feels nice.
The Delonghi comes with a professional style filter holders, both small and large. The filter holder has a very tight fit when attached to the unit. This is a must, as your Espresso and Cappuccinos are brewed under pressure. You certainly don't want a loose fit when brewing your favorites. A word about brewing American Coffee. The DeLonghi has a setting 1- 4 cups which allows for the slow brewing of your coffee. This setting allows the water to slowly be dripped onto the coffee grounds making for stronger coffee. If you have never had a unit with this option, you are in for a treat as they really work. I am not going to provide a review as to the taste of the coffee, lattes, etc as every ones taste is personal. The DeLonghi worked as advertised, and there are no complaints here. Enjoy your coffee.

I would like to add a footnote to my review, as I originally stated that I was not going to comment on the taste of the brewed coffee. I really feel that it would be a disservice if I didn't comment on the DeLonghi's cappuccinos. My entire family is now so hooked on cappuccinos. The frothiness, the creaminess, and the overall flavor is absolutely amazing (even without the milk). Much better than store bought! DeLonghi has done a great job with this machine. So very happy to own this unit. Thanks.

Philips Norelco Shaver 9500 delivers superior closeness and personalized skin comfort with SenseIQ technology. Designed to prevent skin irritation, the 9500 features Pressure Guard Sensor which guides you to the the right pressure as you shave.
How does this compare with Prestige models as far as quality and comfort of shave? What is the difference between shaver heads?
I personally own the 9500 model, and I can honestly say that this razor is giving me the closet and most irritation free shaves that I have ever experienced. I've been shaving for 50 plus years and have owned just about any razor on the market. This is really a superior product and I don't think you'll be disappointed with the results.

Meet the Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 10-qt air fryer. This XL 2-Basket Air Fryer has DualZone Technology and IQ Boost. With its 2 independent baskets you can cook 2 foods, 2 ways, at the same time, not back-to-back like a traditional single-basket air fryer.
Is it easy to clean
I own this product and its a breeze to clean. The baskets are line with non-stick surfaces and both have drip trays. A little soap and water is all it takes. I'm very happy with this appliance. I think you will be also.
