A good close, but not too close, shave!
on October 26, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
from Pennsylvania
If you've ever used the smaller on-blade shaver, this is the same concept in a more substantial package.
One of the things I love about the one-blade shavers is that they do a nice job of giving me a close shave, but not so close that I end up with skin irritation. The trick is to shave against the grain, and the shaver works in both directions, which makes shaving a breeze!
The advantage of this model over the basic one-blade is the bigger battery (great for long trips) and the snap-on adjustable guard that can adjust to more granular adjustments than the single guards that come with the smaller one-blade. I shave my head weekly, so it's great to use the same razor for my face and head.
The charging base is a plus. It's great o dock it and go, knowing it'll charge up all day.

Well Built and Handy
on October 26, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja

This is great for when you don't want to pull out a full food processor or don't have room for one. The base unit is fairly limited in use, but there are a bunch of inexpensive attachments that make it into a full-fledged processor without taking up as much space.
The motor on this guy is much stronger than most of the more inexpensive hand blenders. You get what you pay for here. It's heavy and well built and will last for years!
If you're looking to make basic recipes like soups and smoothies the base unit is perfect. If you want to use it to make more complex things like salsas, you will need an attachment.

Great for younger kids. And some adults
on October 10, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
from Pennsylvania
Ostensibly this is for my 8-year-old son, but who am I kidding? I was pretty curious about it too!
Setup was reasonably easy, although the first update was a little confusing. After that the little guy picked his hero name in the app by selecting a word from column A and column B and his super power in a similar way. After that Spidey started addressing him by his hero name. Nice touch!
What he can do is somewhat limited, but it is fun to interact with him. He's always ready with a bad joke or a goofy story.
One of my favorites is when he plays hide and seek. He told my kid to hide and he'd find him. Obviously Spider-Man isn't going anywhere, so he waited until my son went in to check to see if he had moved and that's when Spidey "caught" him.
Sphero promises updates as time goes on. They've been good about supporting their other toys, so I'm hopeful they will add functionality soon. One thing he does do is react to episodes of the new Spider-Man animated series if you watch with him.
The best part is his animated eyes. They're white LCD screens with black animated "eyelids" like the mask in Spider-man Homecoming. Such a simple idea, but it makes him seem more expressive and "real."

Not as Convenient as AirPods, Much Better Sound
on October 4, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
from Pennsylvania
I own both these and the AirPods, both of which I use with a Samsung S8. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but overall the Bose are a better choice for Android.
One of the Bose strengths is the sound quality. If you've used Bose before you know what you're getting: Punchy bass, slightly bloated mid-bass and rolled off highs. But in a pleasant way, if that makes sense. Compared to the anemic AirPods this is a welcomed strength.
Comfort is good, but not great. They make my ears sore after a while, but I have yet to try the other size ear hooks in the package. Once they're in there feels like no chance of them falling out. If you exercise this is important, but it's less important to a desk-dweller like me.
The charging case is handy but is a little too big to slip into a pocket. I had gotten in the habit of always taking my dental-floss sized AirPods everywhere. This case is sturdier and more suited to carrying in the pocket of a bag or backpack.
One further advantage is Android integration. The Bose have buttons for volume control, pairing and one to answer calls or trigger voice recognition. Much more Android friendly!

Solid High-End No-Frills Blender
on September 25, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
from Pennsylvania
The motor on this thing is a beast! It shreds through ice in no time for perfect smoothies.
Overall it's a no-frills machine with only a pulse control, an on/off switch and a dial for the 10 speeds. What you're paying for here is the strength of the motor and overall reliability.
While this doesn't come with a glass jar, the plastic one it comes with is suitable for hot liquids. In fact, you can make hot soup with the blender itself. It doesn't have a heating element, but the friction from the cutting blades will heat liquid after 10 minutes or so.

Not sure who this is for
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
from Pennsylvania
This keyboard is sturdy and very heavy. There is no chance of it moving on your desk. The back lighting is effective, if a little gimmicky. There is a proximity sensor that turns the lights on as your hands approach the keyboard. Neat, but hardly necessary.
The star of the show is the multifunction dial at the upper left. It provides some functionality in a few software packages (the Office and Adobe Suites, Google Chrome) and can be set up as a volume dial. Honestly, it's no more effective than the scroll wheel on your mouse and requires taking your hands off the ASDF keys.
The keyboard has very short travel. I do like the scooped keys but they're plastic and feel cheap.
Overall it's a nice looking keyboard, but I don't know who this is for. The dial doesn't do enough for graphic designers to justify the price, and the keys themselves just don't feel sturdy enough for someone who types code or emails all day. The keyboard itself is slightly raised and there is no option to change the angle or leave it flat.

The Best for Iced Coffee!
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
I drink my coffee almost exclusively iced. I've tried everything to find iced coffee I like at home, from (messy) cold brewing, to Brew over Ice coffee pods and brewing double-strength pots. Nothing has been exactly like donut shop iced coffee until the Ninja.
The iced coffee mode makes perfect full bodied iced coffee that tastes just as good, if not better, than the stuff I buy on the way to work every morning.
The permanent filter is a plus, but I'm currently using throw-away filters for ease of cleaning.
I love the drip-stop too. Such a simple concept that works great.

Perfect for Travel - Unexpectedly Cool
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
I was excited to try these out but was prepared to be underwhelmed. It turns out they're much cooler than I had anticipated!
They paired easily with my LG V20 Android phone. I started up Rogue One and was blown away by the sound! The speakers are very small, but in close proximity to my ears they produce a rich sound. Dialogue is clear and I could clearly make out explosions and ships whizzing around behind me and side-to-side. Like home theater clear! Despite the phone being at arm's length dialogue sounded like it was coming from the phone, so imaging is spot-on. The audio, while rich, does suffer from weak bass, but it's understandable given the size. Though deficient in bass, the sound is definitely not tinny at all. They have a built in tactile inducer that vibrates with bass to add some punch, but I really don't feel it at all when they're on my neck. That's probably a good thing.
There appears to be little to no latency; lip sync was good.

The headphone portion sounds excellent. Just a light tug and you have earphones that won't disturb anyone around you. Keep it very light though. The wires attached to the phones are hair-thin and feel like they could break easily. Another gentle tug makes them retract back into the "collar" portion.
I could see these being a game changer for business trips. Listen in privacy on the plane with the headphones, then take in a movie back at the hotel on your tablet with amazing surround sound.
They also paired with my LG TV to provide the same experience. Great for late night listening without disturbing the family.
They're a little bigger than most around the neck earbuds, but given their intent that's to be expected.

Good Sound, Bad Fit (for me)
on July 6, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
I usually have no issues at all with in-ear monitors fitting properly. While I'm not a huge fan of shoving a silicon tip in my ear well enough to get a good seal, I can do so and have never had a situation where I couldn't get a comfortable fit. Until now.
No matter which tip I used, or with the little wings on or off, I could not get these to stay in and sealed well enough to enjoy the sound. At best they were very loose and wouldn't seal (so no low end whatsoever) at worst they hurt enough to get me to confess to crimes I had not committed.
I did try them a while with pressure from my fingers to seal them properly to get an idea of the sound and liked what I heard. They have a nice full sound, with punchy bass that intrudes on vocals a little.
I wanted to like these, I really did. I suspect these fit 99% of the ears out there and I was unlucky enough to be in the 1% with freakish ears.

Average Fit and Sound
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: Nerdninja
These are certainly comfortable and stay in my ears well. Pairing was typically easy on my Android phone. I was up and running pretty quick.
I would rate sound quality on the high side of average, especially for this particular price range. Bass is ample and clear without being overbearing. Highs, however, are a tad harsh and fatiguing after some time.
The remote mic/controls attached to the right side are large and a bit heavy for this type of earbuds.

Sizing. I own the first generation turtle beach headset 600 stealth and the same part on the head set keeps breaking.. would love to upgrade to this model but concerned about default head sizing .. the band is to small for my 7 year old.
These seem really tight on me, and my head is too small for most fitted caps.

Are these compatible with iOS
They pair with Xbox the way the controllers pair, so I don't think they use standard Bluetooth for pairing. I would assume not

Are these headphones OVER ear or ON ear?
These are around ear. They completely seal your ears inside rather than sit on them. So I guess over-ear?

All the Power You Expect, without the Cord. Go where ambition takes you with the Cordless Food Chopper from KitchenAid. Designed with a powerful rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery, the new cordless food chopper delivers optimal runtime and performance, so you can cook wherever*, whatever, and however you choose. Chop up to 40 onions on a full charge** *Indoor use only. **Based on onion size of 90 - 110 grams
Does this come with a storage case? Manual states that it does, but I did not receive one.
Mine did not. From the picture, I was trying to figure out if they meant the black Styrofoam it was packed in. Mine packing materials broke as I tried to pull out the chopper and immediately crumbled into annoying foam "pebbles" though.

Does it have a power plug for external power? looking to plug into car power via cigarette lighter
Yes it does. It takes a very small 4.5v plug. Something like that may be difficult to source. I wish they had just set it up to run off a 5v USB source
