Versatile multigroom trimmer
on October 31, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
This little trimmer is designed to trim every hair on your body, from head to toe. The metal body gives it a nice sturdy feel with a little weight, but not too much to handle. There are five included trimmer heads for various purposes and several trimming guards that easily snap on and off. Each guard is labeled with its size and one for eyebrow, which I didn’t realize was a unique measurement. Each of the heads snap on and off easily except the foil shaver, which has a cover over it for cleaning and comes off when trying to remove it. The plastic cover on it felt really cheap, as if it was just something they threw in as an extra option and I fear it may break over time, though I don’t use this attachment often.
The included bag holds everything in a compact space making it easy to take anywhere with you. The head can be cleaned with water, however, it is not listed as waterproof and it came with a small brush. The trimmer heads all cut really smooth without any snagging and they state that the self-sharpening should remain after three years of use. Only time will tell, but I haven’t seen any degradation in the uses that I have given it.

Huge pitcher, simple use
on October 31, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
This blender can handle over a half gallon of material with its huge 72oz pitcher. It feels like it is designed for commercial use with the suction cup feet holding it to your counter, the locking pitcher base and snap locks for the lid. It has loads of power, but with great power comes great noise. The Auto-iQ feature is pretty neat as it pulses at various speeds to give the texture of the product selected. I have made several iced beverages using the iQ setting for it and as long as I used the included tamper for the full minute, the drink came out perfect. Without using the tamper, there were large chunks of ice remaining, even after running the program multiple times. Cleanup is a snap, simply adding hot water to the mark on the picture, a couple drops of dish washing liquid and a push of the clean button. I usually ran it a few times, just to be sure, but it has come out clean every time. It has the capability to use the Double-walled to-go tumbler (24 oz.), and supposed to recognize the difference between that and the picture, but it is sold separately and I did not get to try it out. If you have the need to make large quantities of blended products with ease, but don’t mind a bit of excessive noise, then this is certainly a great option.

Pour wine without removing the cork by using the Coravin Model Two wine system. The durable needle pierces the cork so you can pour, and then the cork reseals when the needle is removed to preserve the remaining wine. This Coravin Model Two wine system comes with two capsules that let you pour up to 30 glasses of wine.

For a glass here and there.
on October 17, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
If you like a glass of wine from time to time, but hate to possibly waste a whole bottle by opening it and not drinking it, then the Coravin Model Two meets that purpose. It is easy to setup, the needle goes through the cork smooth and it is easy to pour a glass or two while maintaining the corks integrity on the bottle. However, for the price of the device and the requirement of the Argon canisters, I find it hard to bite. With proper practice to avoid waste of the gas, you can get fifteen 5 oz. pours per capsule. This then leads to some very slow pours as you realize that when you tip the bottle up you may be wasting gas and when you are about 2 glasses left on a bottle, you might as well open it with a corkscrew as you are guaranteed to waste more gas then.
If you drink wine often and go through a bottle within a short timeframe, all this is doing is adding a cost per glass. Though I am not a wine connoisseur, I don’t think the oxidization is going to destroy the wine in a day. But, if you want a glass of a specific bottle today, and then a glass of the same bottle next week, this will certainly preserve that flavor for you and extend the life of the wine. Take note that this will only work on bottles with real cork wood corks and not synthetic or rubber corks.

Bright and light.
on October 8, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Sharp, clear and incredibly bright. This lightweight projector is one of the brightest I have ever seen, especially considering the size. It has all the major input options so that you can hook it up to pretty much anything, even two inputs at the same time with a split screen option. It has a built in speakers, which isn’t the best or loudest, but it gets the job done if you just need to project something off or a portable device. It has auto keystone which is pretty accurate, a zoom and focus dial on the lens and a feature I haven’t seen before that allows you to angle the projection, in case the projector can’t be pointed straight at the flat surface. It boots up relatively fast and there is no extended cool down period, it is ready to unplug as soon as it is powered down. There is a huge set of options through the menu to get the specific image that you are looking for and strangely, I guess the software is default, it has network setting which is not capable on the VS355S. This is an amazing projector whether it is for work or play, as you can see from the image of the 24 foot wide screen I set up in my back yard.

Simple and quick
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Doesn’t require an app, like many recent routers, yet it has one (QRS app) only for router setup. Once plugged up, it was 4 clicks and up and running, I didn’t even have to attach any antennas. However, there was a firmware update which required me to go through the setup process again, which froze and required multiple reboots for it to finally complete. Once I made it past that point everything was up and running without issue. Of all the router menu systems I have seen I like how theirs is displayed. Most features were easily configured, a few required going to a menu within a menu, but those weren’t something typically used. There is easy guest setup, VPN options and DLNA file share capability with USB 3.0 on the front and 2.0 on the back. There are also built in parental controls so that you can set times or only permit or block specific sites. The Smart Connect feature allowed for both the 2.4 Ghz and 5GHz band to show as one SSID, however, you can change this to be two separate bands if you like, both methods worked fine. Overall, simple and effective, gets you up in running in minutes while providing plenty of coverage and bandwidth for the modern home.

Comfortable design and controlling 2 computers
on September 24, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
I have a PC hooked up to my main TV and a laptop that I keep nearby. I usually use a wireless mouse or the touchpad, which is a pain for placement on the couch. However, with this wireless trackball I am able to sit comfortably on my couch and switch between either of the devices without switching between mice. With one device using Bluetooth and the other using the included adapter I am able to switch between them with just a click of the button on top.
The ergo design and unique hinge base allows for it to be flat like a normal mouse or tilted 20 degrees to reduce strain. It also has an additional base that adds another 10 degrees to the angle to help even more relieve that carpal tunnel. The base has a nice grip to prevent sliding and is attached to the trackball magnetically. The ball itself is smooth, took me a minute to get used to as all I commonly use are mice. My fingers twitch too, so usually a trackball is hard for me to do any fine movement, however, they included a button for that as well, which switches to a fine tune. There are forward and back buttons as well and with the Logitech Options Software, you can program each of the buttons to your own liking. Though I have only had this for about a week, they claim the built in battery will last up to 4 months on a full charge, or all day with only a matter of a minute. Maybe in 4 months I can tell you how that has gone, but so far I haven’t plugged it back up since I received it, already saving me a set of AA batteries from my mouse.

Slim indeed
on September 24, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
The Shark DuoClean Slim NV201 Bagless Upright Vacuum is certainly slim. It is less than a foot wide and is great for getting in between furniture without moving it. However, this also means a lot of passes back and forth for large open areas. The DuoClean brushes have been amazing at picking up the slightest dust particles to larger items, like dog food on hard floor and carpet with ease. There are 2 speed settings to allow for slower brush spin on hard floor so that it is not slinging everything under the vacuum. Out of the box it came in 7 pieces and was literally a snap to put together, no tools required. Within minutes I was up and running, back to cleaning my house. One odd thing though, and I assume it is because this is so slim, it came with 4 attachments but there is only space to put 2 of them on the vacuum, so choose your favorites to keep along with you. The vacuum isn’t overly heavy, less than 20 lbs, but due to how slim and light the base is, it felt a bit heavy when using it as the majority of the weight felt rest in my hand. However, it was light enough to hold by the canister while vacuuming the stairs without any issues. If you need a slim but fully functional vacuum to keep in the closet, this will certainly be a great option.

Silky smooth and fast
on September 6, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY 42701, USA
This is my first Vitamix blender and just by the mention of the name my friends would say “That’s a nice blender.” This thing is no joke. Everything I have thrown into it gets whipped up like nothing I have seen before. With the included food plunger I am able to ensure that everything is pushed through to give a smooth consistency without fear of hitting the blades. It took me a couple of tries to get the consistency that I am used too on smoothies and frappes, as top speed usually resulted in a milkshake smooth drink. However, the milkshakes came out perfectly blended. I am thrilled to have this blender as what used to be a plain evening with ice cream is now a mix of custom designed milkshakes.

Not for the tech savy
on August 7, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
If you don’t already have a home network, or want to start over, and only have a modem that does not already provide you a local network, then this is a simple Wi-Fi router and smart things hub in one.
However, if you already have a home network with a 192.168.1. IP, you want to connect more than 1 wired device, or want to have better control over your private network, stay far away from this one.
This router looks nice, well packaged, hard to tell it is even a router compared to most. However, it wants to work in a very specific way and you are not allowed to change that. There is no way to configure this device other than through the app and even then you aren’t getting to configure much. I like having the 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands with separate SSID so that I can control what devices connect to where, though you can’t do that on this device. I also have a few devices that I prefer to keep wired, though without an additional switch it is not happening on this device. I have not checked it out with multiple nodes, but as a single node I can’t recommend this as a whole-home Wi-Fi router unless you are starting fresh and don’t care about additional controls.

Better than an easy bake oven
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: DavidJr
It is so strange to grill inside over a bright warm light, almost like a kids easy bake oven or something. However, it works really well. It only takes a matter of minutes to get the griddle searing hot, like a regular grill, and food cooks just as well as a grill with easy clean up. Though the flavor is not the same as cooking over gas or charcoal, I feel that this gave the true flavor of the food. So far the food has been juicy and held the full flavor of the marinade. There was a little smoke, and you do get some grease splatter on fatty meats, but nothing as bad as pan cooking. The entire device is easy to wipe down and the messiest parts are dishwasher safe. Though it is not as big as a typical grill, I can’t imagine where I would put it if it was, it is big enough to cook a decent meal and small enough to leave space on my stove.
I’ve never used a grill like this before, but compared to those smaller grill like devices that can only hold one patty at a time and claim to be healthier, I feel this is a better option. This is more like a grill, cooks at about the same rate as a grill at mid heat level, drips the fat into a tray that you can throw in the dishwasher later and has a decent surface area. I do wish they had a different temperature option though.

Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.

Ethernet Cables
I'm wanting to connect my DVD player to the internet. I can't afford the manufacturer's adapter. I have a broadband router, but I need cables for it. At least 25' from the wall outlet to the router. Trying to look on-line, there seem to be different types of cables. I'm a little technologicially challenged... Well, geographically too... The router is a Cicso/Linksys wireless G broadband router, Model WRT546 version 6. I've seen prices from $50 on down to $10. I'm worried that I'll wind up with the wrong type of cable. What's the best price for a 25' (or 35') cable? I'll need several shorter ones as well - to connect the DVD player, the Wii... Thank you!!!!!!!
Any Cat 5e Ethernet cable will work for a typical home router connection. If there are any major power cables that you cross over in that 25 feet you may want to look at the STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) as opposed to UTP (Unshielded). However, for the most part CAT 5E UTP will work just fine for connecting your device to the router so long as it has an Ethernet port.

Can these headphones be rinsed off in the sink after a workout?
They are listed as "LIFETIME WARRANTY AGAINST SWEAT," not water. You can remove the ear tips and wash them and wipe the headphones with a damp cloth just fine, but you are at your own risk if putting them under the faucet.

Stay tuned in on the go with these Sol Republic Shadow 1140-04 earbud headphones, which feature wireless technology and a long-lasting battery, so you can listen to music or talk on the phone using Bluetooth for up to 8 hours before recharging.
will these fall off of me when ih ave them plugged in because they are just hanging on my next?
will they slide off or fall off while maybe running or walking?
If not in both ears and no collar to hold them, they slid around a lot on me. When in only one ear, the other side will pull against you, especially if turning your head and can lead to pulling out the other earbud at times.
