It’s time to take your trim game to the next level—from the neck up—with The Beard Hedger from MANSCAPED. Its titanium-coated, stainless-steel T-blade will whip your whiskers into shape in a single swipe. Whether you’re growing the perfect stubble, a handlebar ‘stache or a full beard, this trimmer cuts through even the thickest of facial hair. Yep, even those stubborn stubbles. It takes balls to make a beard trimmer this good, which is exactly why The Beard Hedger could only come from MANSCAPED.

I have owned many beard trimmers over the years, most notably from the big brand that pretty much everyone uses. Never really gave a second thought to them, they seem like they all do the same exact thing and there is barely any innovation or creativeness between new models. Never have I been as impressed from a beard trimmer until I tried out the Manscaped Beard Groomer. Overall, this trimmer is fantastic, it cuts very cleanly, accurately, the mess is extremely minimal with how it catches the hair (more on that later) and has many modern features that make it even more of a great product.
First, the cleanliness of this razor is great. Most of the times when I trim my beard, the hair flies everywhere all over the counter into every nook and cranny it can find and my girlfriend will find them and yell at me for making a mess again! No more with this trimmer. I am not sure what they did but it clumps all the hair together and drops it straight down, no more having stray beard hairs fly around everywhere when you trim! Absolute game changer with that. Second, I love the new technologies they have incorporated with this charger, most notably making it a type-c device. This is so nice for traveling, if you happen to forget the power adapter, no problem, just literally plug this into any usb c port on a device and you can charge your razor! The battery life is also very strong as well. The case is well made, perfect for traveling. You can adjust the razor up to a 10mm cut per standard trimmers.
Also, for all you curious people.... I did try it downstairs on the family jewels, while it does work, I would not recommend it for down there. It is definitely not fine tuned for the yambag region but in a pinch it works.
Great product! Can't wait to get years of use out of this one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Helps Tremendously with Shoulder/Back Issues
on January 4, 2023
Posted by: BPTech
As someone who works at a desk and spends a lot of time staring at a computer and their phone, I definitely have developed tech neck which is already exacerbated by a lingering case of scoliosis. Getting relief is always an issue for me from knots in my shoulders (the blades, the traps) and my mid to lower back. I really do not like rolling on massage balls because it's pretty difficult to change the pressure because it's all reliant on gravity and your weight, and massage guns are great but don't give you the deep relief you really need. I see a chiropractor and a masseuse regularly, but there was a void missing for in-between those sessions when I needed relief. The symbodi vertiball has filled that void!
Using this device is pretty simple luckily! Just remove the ball by pressing in and lifting up, and then prime the suction cup to the position you want to work on (height wise) and then pull the lever to create section and you have the perfect muscle care system! Just a note, this definitely does require a smooth surface. I just put it on my doors around the house which are flat and have a smooth finish and this thing sticks very well. Have not had an issue where it has fallen while using it, but have if you leave it on for longer than you should which is my fault. I have tried it on my textured walls (a heavy orange peel spray) and it does not work too well. Sometimes I can get lucky and get it to stick but not often. Definitely you need a smooth surface, you can try it on textured walls but don't be expecting perfection.
The reason I give it 4 stars is because I worry about the longevity of the device. The plastic just seems like one day its going to snap, especially the spring loaded mechanism. Also, sometimes it can be a bit hard to handle, it is not as fluid or smooth as I would like it to be, the mechanism is very tight and can require some un natural force to get to work. Also, I think the price is a bit high, if it is on sale, definitely buy it, but wouldn't pay full price. The ball also creaks a lot when you roll your muscles on it. But still, this thing works! That is really all that matters, it has given me immense relief and I feel like a cat rubbing its face on the corner of a couch when using it!

Finding an outdoor camera now and days is a little bit cumbersome with so many different brands offering the same thing. I was hoping Swann would best out some other brands but I do not think that is the case. Overall, the camera is nice, easy to mount, and provides pretty good picture quality. However, a short battery life, clunky app and bugs, I can't really rate this above 3 stars. Let's go over the pro's and cons.
PROs:
- Easy to install anywhere. Just three screws and you're done. The camera is sturdy and stays in place.
- Picture quality. 2k is very nice! Allows you to see more details than usual.
- Micro SD card. This is a huge one, many cameras now and days force you to subscribe to some cloud model which is dumb when it comes to security. You should always have the option to save locally and this is one of those few camera's from a big name that does.

CONS:
- BATTERY LIFE! This thing was outside for only a week with a 100% charge. It recorded only about... 8 events in that week. It then died.... I was shocked how fast it drained the battery for only recording a few events.
- APP! The app sucks, sorry. It is slow, glitchy, cumbersome, annoying. The initial set up was wonky, not perfect. The recording notifications, whenever you click them, it prompts you with a nice error message saying the recording is not available. But it is! You just have to navigate to the playback option and find the recording. What's the point of notifications if those don't even work? The actual motion detection zoning is a big hit or miss. Also, the still image for the camera seems to default to whatever the first thing the camera looks at when setting it up. So lucky for me, I get to see my ugly mug every time I open the app because it defaults to the first image it saw... annoying!!

Show up to every video call feeling confident, seen, and heard. Logitech Brio 500 includes features like auto light correction for low-lighting conditions, auto-framing so you can move during calls, and Show Mode for presenting objects on your desk. Brio 500 Webcam creates a more authentic Google, Teams, or Zoom meeting experience, allowing you to connect genuinely with others.

Ever since the first COVID lockdowns of 2020, most of us who would go into an office daily, have been working from home in some capacity ever since then and continue to do so this day. This has caused many people, myself included, to want to invest in some decent teleconferencing gear such as microphones and webcams. That is where the Brio 500 comes into play. I definitely would not classify it as a webcam for streaming, this is designed with the business user in mind. The rotation of the camera to show your notes or drawings or whatever it may be is cool, but not something I would ever need in my line of work. The feature does work pretty well, the camera does a good job knowing when it's being rotated down and when to readjust to a face.
I did notice some bugs with this device. For starters, I use Logi G Hub and it did detect this device. However, it said no firmware was available. Then when I download the LogiTune software, it says there is a firmware update. Seems to be some disparity between the two apps. Also, the auto focus seemed to be a little funky in low lighting such as night time or cloudy days with background lighting. It would seem to not want to focus on my face or auto focus at all until I would wave my hand at the camera. A little annoying to deal with...
The camera quality on this webcam is very good, if you are recording a seminar, a meeting, this will give you a great picture with great lighting and the wide angle lens is a very nice touch. Having a wider angle makes your video look more professional and framed. I have not been able to test the beta version of RightSight. But that sort of innovation is interesting and definitely will help this webcam stand out in the market.
If you are someone who does video calls quite frequently with clients/coworkers, I absolutely recommend you get this webcam. If you do not do those calls as often or already have a 720p camera and are in that boat, I would pass. All in all, a great webcam, a little high on price, which is why I have to do 4/5 stars just because I do not see the full value.

Wyze Cam Outdoor v2 takes everything you loved about the original wire-free, battery-powered Wyze Cam Outdoor to a whole new level. Now with our award-winning Starlight Sensor, you can see at night just as clear as day with Color Night Vision 1080p HD resolution. Get alerted when motion is detected, now up to 28% further away and set custom motion detection zones to only get alerts that matter to you. See even more than before with a wider, 130 degree field of view, so you can see more of what’s out there. Take advantage of the built-in security features like a motion-activated siren, two-way audio, and motion-detection alerts for even more peace of mind. Best of all, it’s easy to mount, has a 6-month battery life with easy recharging via microUSB, and you can even connect it to Wyze Solar Panel to eliminate the need to recharge ever again, depending upon your location.

I have used Wyze products for years now, mainly their indoor products like indoor camera's and their scale. I recently had a new air conditioner installed, but it is on shared land, so I needed something to keep an eye on it to make sure no one tampers with it or steals any copper from it. Mounting the camera to my patio was a breeze, two screws and the magnet just grabs onto the camera and you can position it any way you like. I was worried about the magnet not being strong enough, but I have the camera suspended 10 feet in the air pointed straight down and the wind has not knocked it off yet!
Now for the bad.... getting the camera to connect was a nightmare initially. Firmware update after firmware update was needed, once I installed 3 firmware updates on the base AND camera, finally everything worked as intended. The night vision is really hit or miss, I had it initially in my garage, but the slightest sliver of light from outside that would creep through the door would mess up the night vision IR on this camera which was frustrating. Having it outdoors is a little better, but they need to improve the IR. Also the motion detection is hit or miss. I have spent an hour playing with the settings and still, sometimes a leave blows and it thinks its a person!
Also, I absolutely hate how Wyze transitioned to that cam lite plus model. I want a camera that lets ME control the recordings, I could care less about cloud recordings and all that crap. I want to put my micro SD card in the camera and let it rip, why can't we have nice things like this anymore? Why does everything have to be connected to the cloud? I don't care, I love my original indoor Wyze camera for that, I was able to put a SD card in it, and have it continuously record. Let me do that with this!!!

Works Fairly Well, But Lots of Issues to Fix
on September 26, 2022
Posted by: BPTech
I want to start off saying my total rating would be 3.5/5 stars for this product. I did have high hopes for this robot vacuum, I used to have an older Shark Vacuum robot that honestly was OK, after a year it became quite.... dumb and would just run into everything and not hold a charge. Hopefully that won't be the fate for this one but only time will tell. The setup process was sort of easy, sort of not. The main gripe I have with the whole setup process and just support for the product in general is there really isn't a clear guide on the mopping feature. I spent over an hour trying to troubleshoot why the mopping feature did NOT work. I kept removing the dust bin and clipping in the mop attachment, however, you are supposed to leave the dust bin in and then put the mop attachment on that. It would've been super super helpful if the instructions said this or if anywhere in the app said this, but no, there was no guide on that, no support etc. That was my biggest nightmare trying to figure that out!! But let's go over Pros and Cons of this vacuum.
PROS
- The map feature, surprisingly works very well. Is it perfect? Not at all. But it is pretty darn accurate, really depends on how much effort you are willing to put into the discovery method where it roams your house and editing the map after. But I think it is a worth your time feature. I tested it by having it go clean certain rooms, and it actually cleaned those rooms, nothing else!
- Pretty good suction power, especially on carpet, I was surprised how much dirt and dust it picked up on carpets.

CONS
- The mopping feature is... lackluster? It works OK but it is absolutely by no means a replacement to regular mopping, think of it more of a first pass just to quickly clean, but you will NOT get a deep clean. I wish the water was hot that came out of it for a better clean.
- Still loves to hit every wall and dance in circles randomly.
- Lackluster support in the app
- Alexa integration is hit or miss
- Expensive $$$

Great Sounding Headphones with Some Annoying Bugs
on September 21, 2022
Posted by: BPTech
I just want to start off by saying that I really do want to give these 5 stars, like every fiber in my being wants to be able to give it a 5 star rating but there unfortunately are some issues with these headphones that make it so I can't (to be described later on). I would consider myself as an audiophile, I love music, love sound, love AV gear. I was pretty excited to be able to try out the Momentum 4's, especially with a brand like Sennheiser and a product line that has been around for years. Overall, these headphones are very compact, lightweight, comfortable for hours of use and deliver exceptional sound quality. One thing that I did notice when using these headphones is that audio quality of what you are listening to MATTERS. Case in point, I was using Spotify and noticed how compressed the sound was on these headphones, I switched over to Apple music to try out lossless audio, and WOW what a difference! These things shine when you listen to some high quality fidelity audio. Now, lets go over the pro's and con's of these headphones.
PROS:
- Incredible battery life. 60 hours!? That is insane and unheard of wireless headphones, but so far I have probably put in 20 hours of listening and I am still at 70% battery life!! Incredible.
- ANC is great. It has an adapative ANC which adapts to your surroundings which actually does work out pretty well, if someone starts talking to you, it will adapt to that etc. I wore these to the gym and I felt like I was in my own personal space, I did not hear ANYTHING but my own thoughts and music. I have not tested them on a plane yet sadly, but will next month, but expect them to exceed expectations.
- Sound quality is exceptional. I can hear little details in songs that I never heard before, these headphones create a very nice wide soundscape and deliver crisp audio without the bass being too overbearing. I turn off the bass boost because I feel it muddies the quality too much.
- Comfort... is very good on these. Besides sounding good, a pair of headphones needs to be comfortable for extended wear, especially on long flights. I can wear these for 2-3 hours without any fatigue, beyond that, not sure, but they are very comfy.

CONS:
- Firmware updates are a nightmare!! I have had 2 firmware updates to do since acquiring these headphones and they are only 2mb in size, but take over 30 minutes to download and transfer to the headphones. Not only that, but you have to literally put the headphones as close to your phone as possible and not use them for it to go "quick" A 2mb update with the technologies available today should NOT take 30 + minutes. That is absurd and a huge disappointment.
- Spatial audio and dolby atmos do not work well with these headphones. I use Apple Music and they offer Dolby Atmos and spatial audio support which is very nice. However, these headphones do not really play well with that. It compresses the sound like crazy, I have to CRANK the volume to get decent sound out and it just seems glitchy... Hopefully they improve on this. I have noticed the compression issue on multiple platforms even with just regular stereo audio, I made sure every setting that would impact that was off. I compared to another pair of expensive headphones and did not have that issue, so it is something with these.
- The app is lackluster. Only 3 EQ sliders... not really much else you can do besides edit ANC. A lot to be desired here... most other apps have way more features but this one does not sadly.

Like I said, if the headphones/app weren't so buggy with firmware and issues this would've been 5 stars. Perhaps Sennheiser will improve in the future with this.

Ultra portable Bluetooth speaker with a surprisingly bigger 360-degree stereo sound that’s crisp, bassy, and ready to go with 14 hours of boom — anywhere you go. WONDERBOOM 3 is your ultimate companion whether you're at the tailgate, a pool party, at home, or even in the shower.
Posted by: BPTech
I love music, I love traveling, so naturally, I needed a good travel speaker to accompany me on my trips! The WONDERBOOM 3 is a very small, compact, easy to use bluetooth speaker. I have taken this with me on a few trips so far and it has stood up very well! This thing is a mini tank, like it is pretty tough if you drop it. I have definitely dropped it a few times on hard flooring and it just bounces right back. I use this in the shower almost daily (if you don't think shower music is good then... you should really try it). With daily water exposure, it is not a big deal for this speaker as it is waterproof!
As for the audio quality, it is not too bad for a speaker this size. The bass is LOUD and definitely booms. There is an outdoor mode which is a button you can press on the bottom of the speaker and this dramatically cuts out the bass and enhances the highs so the sound will cut through dense noise easier. It can get a little too bass heavy and muddy for me when in normal mode.
Everything else with the speaker is well designed, it can get LOUD, the buttons are easy to use, you can't miss a big + or - sign! Pairing it was a breeze, it connected to my iPhone without issues. All in all I would give this 4.5/5 stars.

Don’t let the battery of your device die as you work throughout the day.

Its compact and durable body with a foldable plug easily fits into a purse or pocket, ready for when you need it. A simple white design pairs well with your other accessories. Keep your laptop and phone both working as hard as you do with this dual port, easy-to-carry charger.

I recently bought a Macbook Air that now has the type-C charging port. I already have an Apple watch and an iPhone and I have started to travel a lot more often now and days so it was always cumbersome having to bring different adapters for each. Then comes along this compact wall charger! Now I can easily charge both my phone and my watch at the same time, or my Macbook and my phone AND watch (since you can also connect to the laptop). This thing outputs quite a bit of juice, I was able to charge my iPhone (a iPhone 13 Pro) from 19% to 90% in about 25 minutes which was pretty nice. My apple watch went from 40% to 96% in about 20 minutes. It charges pretty much at the same rate for a Macbook Air than the stock charger Apple provides for you when you buy a Macbook. You can also charge other peripherals that are type-c, for me I have some medical devices that charge with type-c that I can use with this charger, headphones, etc. The folding design of the plug is very nice as well for stoaway when traveling.

Feed the fam (a few friends, too!) with this Bella Pro Series 6-qt. Digital Air Fryer. Complete with a powerful heating system and large capacity to keep everyone full and keep the fun going. Bonus features include a digital touchscreen, preset cook modes, and an auto shut-off for added safety.
Posted by: BPTech
Who doesn't love air fryers now and days? They have become so widely popularized by social media and tv shows they are pretty much a household staple at this point. The Bella Pro Series air fryer is a well working, no frills air fryer. I am not sure what exactly constitutes this as the "pro" model, is it the sleek matte black? Is it the fancy touchscreen (that doesn't work all the time, tbc.)?
But it does a good job at evenly cooking food in a pretty fast manner. I was able to make a salmon dinner with veggies and salmon within 12 minutes, barely lifted a finger besides seasoning and putting it in the basket! It turned out pretty darn good. The salmon had a very nice crust on the exterior, it really locked in the seasoning with that crust which only was enhanced by the moistness inside the salmon. Hungry yet? Anyways, the salmon turned out perfect, potatoes (frozen and raw) turn out amazing, the presets are convenient if you are especially in a rush. The guidebook has some tips and guide times on all different types of foods which is very nice.

The bad with this air fryer.... well, maybe it is just me, or my finger, but the girlfriend and I tend to have a hard time when first activating the air fryer and trying to select a time/temp. It always just doesn't recognize the touch till I wait around and meticulously press other buttons. The basket is not always the easiest to close, it is on a flat counter but it nearly never goes to slide in nice and easy into the housing unit. Also, this really is annoying to me, when you are finished cooking whatever it is that is inside the air fryer and the timer runs up, you will hear some beeps to indicate it is done and the LCD will tell you this as well. BUT, the machine keeps running! I roughly timed it and it was about 60-90 seconds extra of cooking time after it said END. This is pretty frustrating when trying to precisely cook food to perfection...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can the OS windows 8 be uninstalled and replaced with windows 7?
I really would like to buy the surface pro 3. I do t like the windows 8 OS, before I buy the product I want to make sure I can uninstall the 8 and replaced it with the 7.
No it isn't possible because of drivers and its a special image of Windows 8.1 the surface uses. Why would you want to put an OS like Windows 7 on a tablet? 8.1 was built for something like this. I was like you once all against 7, but trust me, this device was optimized and built for windows 8.1 and you won't be disappointed.
