Create nutrient-rich meals with this NutriBullet blender combo. The 64 oz. blending pitcher shreds tough skins, pulverizes stems and crushes seeds to deliver creamy snacks, smoothies and soups. This NutriBullet blender combo features a powerful 1200W motor that operates quietly, so you can engage in conversations while blending fruits and vegetables.

The NutriBullet Blender combo offers the versatility of the original with single serve and the larger capacity of a regular blender. I have the original NutriBullet and love it but needed to use a regular blender when making drinks for multiple people. This combo has given me more counter space by replacing two devices and also being smaller than my other blender. With a 1200 watt motor it’s had no problem with anything from smoothies to crushing ice for mixed drinks. Along with smoothies you also have the versatility to make soups, nut butters, salsa and more. It also doesn’t seem as loud as some blenders I’ve used. If you need a single serve blender with the versatility to make larger amounts check this one out!

Smart features are nice... if they work!

from Richmond,VA
So let’s start off with the good, like all smoke alarms I’ve installed, the installation was easy and straight forward. The night light feature is very nice to have and I also like that I can adjust the brightness. The voice feature is nice as I know with kids it’s been shown the voice feature is more effective at getting them awake in an emergency. Having both smoke and carbon monoxide in one detector is nice to have. Setting it up with the app was easy and straightforward.
Now to the not so good! I took a napkin and burned it to test the app for notifications not once but three times and nothing. The smoke detector went off like a normal smoke detector, but the “smart feature” of notifying you on your phone did not. Even after an hour or so the app still shows everything is ok with the smoke detector and never showed it alarmed. The Onelink is within 10 feet of my router so a slow network shouldn’t be a problem. All my smoke detectors are wired and interconnected. One thing that concerned me more than not getting a notification was how long it took to alarm when it detected smoke. I tested another smoke detector ( First Alert BRK model) it was almost immediate, the Onelink did not go off till I actually put the napkin out in water. I tested this twice and had the same results. I plan to do more test with this as I have this on the main floor. When I tested the Onelink the other detectors in the house alarmed. When I tested the smoke detector on the second level, the Onelink did not alarm on the first floor. I would like to recommend this as I think in theory these connected devices such as this are great, but at this time I can’t. I hope First Alert pushes an update that can fix the notification issue and can make it more sensitive.

Seriously Powerful Suction!
on August 22, 2019
Posted by: Linksys
from Richmond,VA
If there’s one thing the Shark APEX UpLight is lacking power isn’t one of them, this thing has serious power for a stick vacuum! Even on hardwood floors it has suction that is truly impressive, you truly feel the power this thing has when using it. The canister appears bigger than it is, it’s not terribly small but not as big as it looks. Two arms with wheels pop out that allow it to stand on its own like an upright vacuum.
The one design element that left me scratching my head and knocking it down a star is the location of the power button. It is located at the back of the handle, not a big issue when you turn it on while it’s upright, but when you need to turn it off quick that’s when it becomes awkward. You naturally want to go for the front where your thumb rests. Not sure why it wasn’t put there or underneath the handle where you grip it. Though the UpLight weighs only .7 of a pound more than Apex Duo the balance of the weight and design of the handle can make it a little more awkward when using it with the crevice tool. Quirks aside with the handle and power button, Shark has created one seriously powerfully vacuum that takes up very little space.

Protect your iPhone XS Max from up to 10-foot drops with this Speck Presidio Grip black phone case. Dual-layer protection with a tough outer polycarbonate shell helps to absorb and dissipate shock on impact, while a raised bezel offers extra screen protection if your phone falls facing down. This Qi-compatible Speck Presidio Grip black phone case features a nonslip design with raised rubber ridges for a secure grip.

I’m not the biggest fan of having a case on my phone, but I know it’s necessary with the price of these things today. The apple leather case is my primary case that I usually have on my XS max, but it doesn’t provide the best grip or protection. The Speck Presidio case takes care of both of those issues. It gives you a nice grip and much better overall protection of the phone without adding much bulk. I do a lot of mountain biking and hiking and this is my new case for when I’m doing anything active like that.

Experience an immersive acoustic performance with these Sony XB Extra Bass wireless headphones. The noise-isolating fit mutes ambient noises, while the lithium-ion battery offers up to 30 hours of playtime, keeping you entertained during long-distance travels. These Sony XB Extra Bass wireless headphones have a touch sensor for convenient control.

When it comes to bass the XB900n deliver big time! With the Sony music app (which is absolutely excellent) you can control EQ or use different surround profiles from concert hall, arena and others. This gives you the ability to dial in the perfect sound for your preferences. Personally I find the sound quality excellent and definitely not lacking when I want bass. The noise canceling Is about a 3.5 to 4 out of 5 to me, when it comes to canceling out audio from a tv or voices it’s not as good as the best in class. But, this is to be expected as these are mid tier Noise-Cancelling headphones. I have a ceiling fan that makes noise when it’s on and they’re able to cancel that out, also the noise from an annoying garage fridge when I’m sitting next to it. That type of noise seems to be what they’re best at canceling out at least from my usage. You control the noise canceling within the app. The call quality is top notch, whether you’re using them to talk or talking to someone wearing them. While on a call and having my tv on the caller could not hear my tv though I could. I didn’t think I’d like the touch controls, but Sony has done an excellent job with them. They give you a nice beep to let you know you’ve done something, like volume up or down etc..
Sony has brought a solid set of noise canceling headphones to the market to sit below the the award winning 1000MX3. The XB900N have big bass, excellent call quality on both ends, USB-C and 30 hour battery life.

Capture video while driving with this Nextbase 422GW dash camera. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity automatically sync footage to your phone for easier editing and sharing, and the 2.5-inch IPS touch screen offers intuitive control with upgraded resolution. This Nextbase 422GW dash camera with Alexa built-in uses a G-sensor and SOS response service, safeguarding your footage upon impact while alerting emergency services for safety and a prompt response.
Posted by: Linksys
from Richmond,VA
Overall the Nextbase 422 is a solid dash cam. With a very responsive touchscreen and an equally good app you have a lot of ways to control it and see your video without removing the sd card. The app gives you the ability to view live video of your dash cam and access all the video it’s recorded. Not having to remove the sd card and put it in a computer to view the video makes it easy if you do have an incident. With built in gps you see the video and also the gps data via Google/Apple maps in the app. I’m not an Alexa user so I can’t speak on how well that works, but it is an option. It also has an SOS mode built in that if set up with your phone will call emergency services if your in an accident and unresponsive. One feature I was happy to see at first was the parking mode, after using it I had to turn it off. When using parking mode whenever I opened the door and closed it the camera would detect it and start recording a protected video. This is a great feature and wish they could have made it to where it had a sensitivity level instead of just on and off. Per the manual it’s states not to operate the unit above 113 degrees F, living in an area that will reach 100 degrees F this week that was a little concerning for me especially when I was looking to use the parking mode feature. I’ve left it in my vehicle on 95 degree + days and have had no problems, but will probably take it inside if it gets real hot as the magnetic mount makes it easy to take with you.

Fantastic security camera!

From creating an account to downloading and setting up the app, it might have taking me 15 minutes and the camera was up and running. Once you have it up and running the app and camera controls are easy to use and figure out. I’m not big on having monthly or yearly subscriptions, so being able to use a micro sd card (16 gb included) and monitor my own stuff on my phone or tablet is very appealing. I’ve got some cheap cameras that I’ve been using for a while to monitor the outside of my house and though they have served me well, the pic/video quality of the Defender is much better. You really notice the difference when zooming in, the Defender will zoom in further and still have the clarity. Although these are “wireless” they still need power from an outlet. In the era of package thieves a good camera can really come in handy to monitor your property. The Defender will provide you with that piece of mind.

This Epson EcoTank all-in-one color printer produces gorgeous photos and graphics with a maximum resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi.Prints up to 10 ISO ppm* in black, up to 5 ISO ppm* in color.
Posted by: Linksys

The two big features for me with this printer is the eco tank feature and air print or being able to print from a mobile device. I’m a casual user of printers, I might print a couple times a month. My girlfriend on the other hand prints contracts daily so being able to save on ink will be a big plus. The set up process was quick and easy, the only thing that took a little while (about 10 minutes) was priming the printer after you fill the ink tanks. A feature that I’ve never seen before on a printer is quiet mode, you can definitely tell a difference when it’s turned on and you print something. As soon as you set it up on WiFi you can print from a mobile device, this is how I print 90 percent of the time so that was really nice to see. For my needs I’m extremely happy with this printer and looking at the cost of ink refills compared to cartridges makes me even happier!

This is my first Astro product and from the standpoint of build quality alone I’m extremely impressed. Both the headset and the mix amp feel top notch, and they both have a nice heft to them that make them feel like a quality product. But none of that would matter if they didn’t deliver when it comes to gaming, and these things deliver in spades when it comes to that! This is the first headset I’ve used where you can prioritize game volume or chat and I think it’s really nice to be able to change that on the fly. Playing black ops 4 multiplayer the game comes to life and really does allow you to hear pretty much everything so much better. Chat quality on my end was excellent and echo free. If you’re a serious gamer you wont be disappointed in the quality and versatility these will give you when gaming.

Protect your 11-inch iPad Pro from dings, dents and scratches with this Logitech slim folio case. The textured surface helps prevent slipping, while the rubberized feet provide solid traction and elevation for improved airflow. This Logitech slim folio case has a slender design, making storing and transporting simple, and the built-in stow holds and charges a 2nd-generation Apple Pencil.

I’m not the biggest fan of cases as I like the natural feel of the aluminum and glass design. But...I do realize these things are way to expensive to always go without a case. I purchased the Apple case when I first got my iPad and I rarely use it as I like the look, but it doesn’t add all that much protection as it doesn’t cover the edges. Though this case adds more bulk than that case, I’m very surprised at much more I like it than the Apple case . The keyboard is absolutely awesome and feels just as good if not better than a lot of laptop keyboards. The keys have a vey nice feel and stroke to them that doesn’t feel like you’re using a keyboard designed for an iPad .The case adds ample protection to the iPad and your Apple Pencil if you use one. The case is more slim in its name than in actuality, but its really not that bad and the added protection and the keyboard make you forget that. This is the first case that I wont be removing after a few days. 3 months battery life, charges via USB C just like the iPad, awesome backlit Laptop worthy keyboard and a name you know you can trust in Logitech.

The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.

Googles first attempt at their own phone (software/ hardware developed by Google) is a solid homerun, even though it has a few shortcomings!
The hardware; at least to me is absolutely beautiful and on par with any of the top cellphone manufacturers out there. The software; is so smooth and buttery, there literally is no lag! It reminds me of iOS in the early days. The screen at 5 inches is a sweet spot, though I love bigger screens, it's a nice comprise especially if you want a big screen but dont have big hands.
If you are a died in the wool Android person, this phone is an excellent choice when considering a new phone. The price could be a shortcoming for some, and the lack of headphones baffles me especially when you're competing with the big manufacturers. 32 gb may not seem like a lot of storage these days, but Google gives you unlimited photo and video cloud storage for all taken on the Pixel.
Google should be very proud of this phone and anyone should put it on their short list when searching for a phone.

I understand and know there has been Nexus devices for years that run stock android. But all reports from plenty of sources ( The Verge, Andriod Central, Droid Life and so on) have indicated that the Pixel is the FIRST phone where Google designed the hardware and software to work together like Apple does with the iPhone. Even though HTC made the hardware.

I got my first Bluetooth headphones 2 years ago with the Beats solo2 headset. As much as I liked them having the wire between the two could still be a pain at times depending on what you're doing. The new AirPods are phenomenal from the sound quality, ease of use and just the general quality. These are my new go to headphones, I love the fact I can just use one at a time if I want and the fact the case is a battery also so it charges them when you place them in the case. Worth every cent!

Until Apple fixes the issue with these disconnecting from calls while using a 6s and 6s plus avoid these. I'm on my second pair and they both would randomly disconnect while talking.

What are the differences between Xbox 360 and Playstation 3?
I am trying to decide if I should buy a Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3? I wanted to know the differences between them
I have both and barely play the ps3. The differences between the two are, The ps3 has built in wifi, has the ability to browse the web, bluray, and online is free. 360- you have to pay for xbox live gold membership(silver membership is free) it is worth it though. The 360 has a much better controller, after a while the ps3 controller buttons start to stick. The 360 has better exclusives ( though there are some potentially good ones coming to the ps3).Xbox live marketplace is second to none, netflix tons of arcade games and just all around more fun.
