I absolutely LOVE this desktop! It is the first I've ever owned that had the computer built into the monitor. It is such a space saver I must say, lots of extra room on the computer desk now. It was quite heavy though, but I guess that's to be expected! The 27 inch monitor is large and beautiful, it could pass as a small tv honestly. It is very fast, I had no problems with setup. It comes with a keyboard and mouse, which my last desktop did not... actually pretty sure I had to buy EVERYTHING separately, which is a pain. Not with this model, everything you need in one box. It comes with 1TB of storage, which is plenty for anyone that isn't planning on using this for gaming. I know gamers need lots of storage and even 1TB can get used up quickly... just ask my daughter's Xbox! So if that's an issue, be warned. I have used this desktop to surf the internet, check email, and even watch videos. I am very impressed by the monitor. The picture is great and the size is perfect. I also love that its a touch screen! I have a touch screen laptop as well, so between that, my phone and iPad, I've found myself trying to zoom in on things on a regular desktop monitor, which obviously didn't work and had me feeling foolish. But now I can touch and zoom away, love it!

This is a very nice blender. Structure seems sturdy and the design is sheik. I like all the different speed options. I made some shakes for myself and my daughter. We used the milkshake button and it worked perfectly, our shakes were delicious! The presets take all the guesswork out, so simple even my 7yr old can use it. I also like that the cup is BPA free. This will be our go to blender from now on.

Listen to your TV or music wirelessly without disturbing others.

Okay so the reason I wanted these headphones was originally for my daughter to use with the iPad.
It clearly states under the description:
"Compatible with any audio components (TVs, CD/DVD players, MP3 players, mobile devices)."
"Compatible with any audio components (TVs, CD/DVD players, MP3 players, mobile devices)."
I took that as tablets also... Only problem is that unless your planning on leaving your phone, tablet, mp3 or whatever on a table hooked up to the base you are SOL. So in my case that wasn't going to work, we're not going to connect wires to the iPad to then have "wireless" headphones. I decided to give these to my parents to try out. My father is pretty hard of hearing and always blasting my mother out from the other room with his tv volume. Problem solved. The headphones were easy to hookup. He seems to be using them without any issues. Not sure about how long the battery life actually is since he "doesn't want to take the chance" and puts them right back on the base unit when he's done using them. The sound wasn't the best IMO, but to my 70yr old father it was great. No more loud tv disrupting grandma, everyone's happy. I would say these are nice for the older generation. But for us Gen Xers and especially millennials, these headphones just wont hit the mark.

I got this for my aspiring YouTube gamer star. That's all the kids like to watch on there now is OTHER people playing video games... WEIRD :P
So apparently the instructions are pretty much non-existent, unless you go to the website, kinda crappy. But once you know what you're doing it is pretty simple. I was assured there wasn't any issues with lag or connectivity. This thing is super small and portable, in case you want to take it to a friends or something. You can use this to record from a gaming console or pc. Comes with everything you need for recording, including audio cords, just no clear instructions. I'm not going to lie, she had a time trying to figure this thing out, and although she reports mostly all good things, I witnessed the frustration firsthand. I gave 4 stars based on the end result/happiness. But I will definitely update as we use this more if any functionality problems occur.

Relax and enjoy hands-free carpet and hard-floor cleaning with this ECOVACS robotic vacuum cleaner.

This ECOVACS robotic vacuum cleaner runs up to 120 minutes for complete floor coverage.

This little robot vacuum is my new best friend! Set up was super easy. The app works nicely, and it comes with a remote control, sweet. It has different cleaning settings for your particular needs. It goes from the tile to the carpet without any issues. It does bump into things, not a huge deal, just make sure to pick up anything that might get stuck in it, same with a standard though. Battery life has been great thus far and emptying it is a breeze. I have a 7 year old that likes to get crumbs all over my freshly vacuumed floor, needless to say huge bummer, until my little vacuum buddy came along. This thing is great to keep your floors clean in-between a weekly cleaning. I wont say that it will necessarily replace your regular vacuum, because it does not have the power to deeply clean like a standard... but if you're like me and have back problems, along with being a single working parent, that doesn't like to vacuum every other day, yet still wants to have a decently clean home, this lil guy is for you! It has definitely lightened my load a bit.

This 5 in one grill is an awesome addition to my kitchen! I used it to make bacon and eggs, at the same time which was a first for me, and everything turned out great. I hate trying to fry different breakfast items in several pans on the stove and try not to overcook stuff, so I usually do 1 thing at a time... this item took care of that problem. It did a great job on our cheeseburgers as well. I also tried out making a panini and it worked perfectly. I used to have to use this small Mickey Mouse sandwich griller, with 2 small square wholes, making it impossible to use many different types of bread. You don't have that problem here, plenty of space to make multiple sandwiches using whatever bread you choose. Definitely happy with this product.

The Shark Rocket Self-Cleaning Brushroll Corded Stick VacuumShark has created a self-cleaning brushroll that delivers nonstop hair removal. Add that to an ultra-lightweight vacuum with floor-to-ceiling versatility and an XL dust cup, and you�ve got the Shark Rocket Self-Cleaning Brushroll Corded Stick Vacuum.

This vacuum is replacing my 7 year old Shark, which still works, just not as well anymore. First off, once opening the box I was put off that I had to put it together... all I saw was pieces and assumed the worst. But to my surprise it was super simple and didn't even need instructions honestly. I got to vacuuming and right away noticed it had the same suction my 7 year old shark once had, but no longer possessed. I am not used to using this kind of vacuum though so having all the weight pretty much in my hand was concerning (I have neck/shoulder issues). I loved how well this vacuum maneuvered, I was able to reach spots I wasn't able to before, which was nice. I used it as a handheld to reach all the cobwebs on the ceilings and upper corners. While it worked like a charm I noticed it got heavy after awhile, since all the weight is in the part you're holding onto. I paid for this later with severe neck and shoulder pain, still feeling the affects today honestly (it was yesterday). A person without these issues probably wont be affected like I was, which is why I didn't take a star away for it. Emptying the dust compartment was as simple as pushing a button. You are supposed to take out the filters and wash them monthly to keep the suction strong, which shouldn't be a big deal as they are super small. I also tried out the "are rug/bare floor" setting on the door rug inside the entrance and it worked like a dream. It didn't pull too hard to wear it was sucking the rug in, it simply glided across it. All around I will say this is a very nice vacuum with convenient features.

This was my first attempt at using an ergonomic mouse, and may be my last. This mouse is very well made, soft to the touch and responsive. I just found it odd to use. I tried it out at work for about 3 days before switching back to my regular mouse. At first it took me forever to do everything because I had to get used to the different shape and learn how to use it properly... that took maybe an hour of constant use. Once I was acclimated to it using it was a breeze, but I still wanted my old mouse back. It is supposed to help with arm and even shoulder pain, which I suffer from, so I pressed on and decided to give it more time. I must say that more time really did nothing to change my mind. Maybe it was the way my desk situation is set up at work but I found no relief in my shoulder/neck pain and at one point even thought it may have made it worse. It was also weird because in Fishbowl, the system we use at my job, I had a hard time clicking on the links. I would be lined up over it and click the mouse but it wouldn't work, even with multiple clicks. And I'd end up moving the curser slightly if I clicked too much. That never happened with a traditional mouse, and only seemed to happen in Fishbowl, weird! I still gave this item 4 stars because it is well made, well thought out, and others will probably thoroughly enjoy it. A co-worker who has been wanting an ergonomic mouse tried it out at his desk, which is in the lab, and he found it to be very comfortable and had no gripes at all. So there you go. I am going to give it another try here at home and see how it goes. I would definitely recommend to someone looking for this kind of mouse.

Concoct fresh, healthy smoothies with this Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ single-serve blender. Pro Extractor Blades and a powerful 1000W motor provide efficient performance, and it comes with 18-oz. and 24-oz. Tritan cups with spout lids for travel-friendly drinking. This intelligent Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ single-serve blender has preprogrammed settings for easy, quick operation.

Let me start out by saying that this blender is very loud... like a leaf blower in your kitchen loud. But honestly who expects a blender to be quiet?! It is very powerful and blends like a dream, so it doesn't bother me. I had a bullet before this and it wasn't as loud but also was half as powerful, leaving chunks unblended, gross. This Ninja never disappoints... just add your desired food and liquid, screw on the blades lid, put it into the base and turn to click into place, hit the Auto IQ button, and 1 minute later a perfectly blended smoothie awaits you! There are suction cups on the bottom of the unit to hold it in place, probably because its so powerful and vibrates the counter. I love the travel lids also, they do not leak at all, which is awesome. Clean up is a breeze, just rinse and into the dishwasher everything goes. I'm very happy with this blender and cannot wait to try more of the recipes that came with it!

At first glance the packaging design and look of these earbuds is very sleek and well thought out. Pairing them with my phone was a breeze. They are designed mainly for outdoor use it seems, seeing as they're water/sweat resistant, and they let you still hear your surroundings, which obviously is perfect for running outside. They are super comfy to wear, which for me is important because I have picky, sensitive ears. The sound quality is very good, could be slightly better, but that's probably because I'm not used to the Always Aware feature just yet. I love that the case is also a charger for the earbuds, though the cable is SUPER short, which works for it to fit in the case but not so great for charging. There are touch sensitive controls on the left ear for volume and such, the right earpiece is where you power off, pause, and skip to the next/previous song. I didn't time it but the earbuds needed charging somewhere between 4-5 hours of use, so pretty accurate to description. They stayed in place flawlessly, even with bending over and in different directions, they didn't budge. All in all I would say these are very nice earbuds.

The only real draw back was the fact that we had to take every HDMI cable out of our tv and put it into the sound bar which required additional set up in our tv functions. The sound quality is great! We use it in a large living room and we live on a busy main street. The use of the Bluetooth set up for our apple ipod and cellphones is awesome. The sound quality while using these devices is awesome!! All in all we love this sound bar and would not only recommend it but buy it again.

I thought the same thing until reading the directions. I have a 60" Samsung smart tv that is only a year old & all I used was the small thin wire that came with this system. So if you have a newer tv then all you would have to connect it that wire from the soundbar to the tv & you can leave all your HDMI cords hooked up as they were. Thats what I did & everything works great! Just a tip =]

The case is a pretty color but I was only able to see a pic of the back of the case & misunderstood what I was getting. I didnt want a case with the flap cover on the front so my mistake for not fully reading the description. For those looking for something like that, you would probably love it!
