The Chirp Wheel+ helps reduce back pain by decompressing your spine, strengthening core muscles, and massaging out tight trigger points. Made with a rigid ABS plastic core and soft EVA compression sensitive mat, the Chirp Wheel+ can support up to 500 pounds! Three wheel sizes provide different levels of pressure for customizable back pain relief. The smallest wheel offers the most pressure, to target specific muscle knots, while the largest wheel offers the least pressure and the greatest stretch to help correct poor posture.

Best thing since my body bridge.
on July 27, 2021
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Northwest, IL
I own a body bridge, and until now it was my favorite thing to stretch my back out. These Chirp Wheels feel awesome on my tight back.
The secret is to use the wheel that you are comfortable with. I am a bit of a baby so I use the largest wheel. It uses more surface area so it is a less intense of a stretch. My wife has a greater tolerance for back stretching since she goes to the chiropractor often and gets regular manipulations. She uses the medium and smaller wheel.
The secret is to relax your back while you are rolling on the wheel. You can feel and hear your back cracking and lining up. You will feel great afterwards. If you can do it for a few minutes even better. They are firm and soft on the surface so they are very comfortable.
I can honestly recommend these for anyone that wants to line up and stretch their back for instant relief.

Best pair of baby clippers I ever used.

Posted by: Bootleg89

So far there is nothing not to like about these baby clippers. I know they are just baby clippers, but when you want the best, then these are for you.
The clippers feel nice and tight in your hand, these reassures you that you have total control of them. Even though they are small, the larger handle give you a very good grip. The clippers separate from the handle if needed, for more precision.
The cut on these is phenomenal. Again, I know they are just clippers, but would you trust a cheap pair with your baby's delicate hands? They cut fast and clean with a nice snap.
I recommend these baby clippers to anyone who wants the best clippers for their baby, or even for those small clips on a big hand.

Tweezers the weak link in this kit.
on June 25, 2021
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Northwest, IL
Overall this kit is very high quality but the tweezers are a bit of a disappointment. The kit includes a small pair of regular tweezers, some fine tip tweezers, a razor, and a zip up soft case. All components have a very high quality feel to them.
The razor works perfectly and trims up your brows with little irritation. They work exactly as intended.
The fine point tweezers pluck out fine hairs and even ingrown hairs rather easily. I can say that they work perfect as well.
The kit falls short with the regular tweezers. The tip is square and flat. If anyone has ever owned a pair of Tweezerman knows they have an angled tip that allows plucking with the finest precision. These tweezers are flat and blunt and I did not like them. Picture trying to cut a shape out of piece of paper using an exacto blade vs a boxcutter. That is how it felt using these tweezers. And these are the main piece of the kit.
I would like to recommend the kit but the tweezers are a deal breaker for me.

Big power, little package
on June 22, 2021
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Northwest, IL
I still cannot believe the power that is packed into this small laptop. I feel that this may be the best laptop you can possible take with you on the go. It has everything you could ever want and super easy to carry.
I took this laptop with me on vacation and I was pleased with every minute I used it. I used it to lookup spots to visit, reviews, and to book important reservations. I could fold it and use it like a tablet. And it is so compact that it does not feel unnatural. I absolutely loved using this!
Then there is the gaming, which is what it is meant for. It handles games perfect and I was able to put it to the test with my library of Steam games. I had zero issues and I was immersed in gameplay without even realizing it was a 13" screen. This may not be for everyone, but I had zero issues with the size. I can honestly say I now realize how big and bulky my Nitro 5 is now.
It runs processes smooth and the graphics run like butter. I had no lag or anything like that. Due to the SSD it runs like a Chromebook. It is almost like "instant on" when you boot it up. This is really nice.
I don't know what else to say about this laptop other than you will not be disappointed.

High quality look and feel
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Northwest, IL
The first thing you will notice is that this thing comes in a huge box. I suppose it is due to the room the curved screen needs, but wow it it huge. The plus side is that you know it is not damaged in any way.
I unboxed it, which was kind of difficult, you may want 2 people to make it easier. It includes a power supply, HDMI cable, and DisplayPort cable.
It is very high quality and you can tell by the textures on the casing, the swivel base and the curved screen. Everything about the design screams "gamer". I love it!
I hooked it up to my gaming laptop and started using it. My laptop only outputs FHD so it doesn't fully utilize the UHD function. I first ran WWE 20 and it looked good. I wasn't overly impressed. But then I tried Resident Evil 2 HD and wow! It popped off the screen. It looked better than any way I have played it before. The game automatically runs through an image optimization when you first run it, so that is why it let me unlock peak performance from the monitor. I could not stop playing it and marveling at the visuals. I was in gamer bliss.
I then connected my 4k Blue-Ray player to it and put on a movie. You can switch the monitor's mode from UHD Game to UHD Movie. And wow the image was incredible. You can tell the refresh rate makes a huge difference. I would not mind watching all of my movies on this monitor.
Overall I would say that this is a must have monitor if you are looking at gaming with a super sharp display and love clear and crisp visuals.

Does everything it says it does.
on May 28, 2021
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Northwest, IL
This controller is packed with features at a great price. It has a high quality feel to it and good weight too. The only problem I have is that it feels slightly awkward in my hand. It does not feel as natural as the Microsoft official controller, but it is not terrible.
The features are very nice. You must download the official software to to program the controller. Once you do you are able to adjust the sensitivity of the trigger buttons and the thumb joysticks.
The best feature is the Dolby Atmos sound. I plugged in headphones right out of the box and was unimpressed. I tried it out with Injustice Gods Among Us. The fight scenes would not even play on the headphones. Then I installed the controller software as well as the Dolby Sound software and set everything up in the apps. Then I retried the game and WOW what a difference. The sound was night and day. All of the fighting modes had sound and it was very rich and full. I can honestly say that it immersed me into the game. I loved it! I was using some Senheiser HD headphones. I then put on a 4K movie while using the headphones with the Atmos sound on, and it was amazing. I love the Atmos software as it digitally enhances the sound to allow a pleasurable experience.
I can honestly say that I am very pleased with the headphones and I will be using them with the headphones plugged into it at all times. It provides such a great overall experience.

Love it!

Posted by: Bootleg89

So far I am loving my new therapy lamp. It is super easy to setup and super easy to use.
The lamp comes in a very low profile box and it is hard to believe a lamp is inside. You take it out, unfold it and place a base onto it. It then stands on a desk much like any other folding adjustable lamp. You plug in the power cord to the back and you are ready to go.
You push a touch sensor button to turn it on and push again for up to 3 brightness settings. I keep it next to my laptop when I am working at my desk and it provides perfect illumination on the lowest setting. The highest setting is very bright and will actually provide excellent illumination when working on something in great detail where you need a lot of light.
It is very sleek and looks modern when working at a desk. A desk should have a modern look in my opinion considering you will likely have a computer and other tech devices, so the lamp should be no different.
As far as therapy goes, I can easily see how this works. It provides a pleasant glow that is different from a typical lamp or light. it is a nice soft glow that just feels nice while you are near it. I actually feel calm while I am working under it. In fact I am calm as I use it while writing this review. You will have to use it to see what I am talking about.
I highly recommend this lamp if you want to have a nice looking modern lamp that provides plenty illumination with a calming effect.

Works exactly the way you want it to.
on May 22, 2021
Posted by: Bootleg89

I highly recommend this floodlight camera for so many reasons. It is easy to use, has excellent features, and simply works.
This light includes very easy to follow instructions and a kit that helps you install the unit with ease. You screw in one bracket, hang the light with an included hook, splice the wires, then screw the unit into the bracket. That's it!
Installation is a breeze with the included app. You scan a QR code on the unit and it installs on the app. You must register a new account first. The entire setup via the app takes less than 5 minutes.
The camera and light has several features via the app. You can setup a highly articulated motion zone which I found very helpful. I have this mounted next to my back door and I setup the zone to not recognize my arm when I open the door to let the dogs outside. It does detect if a person was walking towards my back door however. Perfect!
You can also turn the light on or off via the app, adjust brightness, and set timers. You can turn the camera on or off if you wanted to use as just a motion flood light. It has night vision and you can adjust video and audio quality settings.
It even has a 2 way mic/speaker so you can talk to people outside via the camera. The best part is that there is hardly a delay on the video on the app. It is probably the shortest delay of any camera I have in my home.
I love this camera and floodlight, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to illuminate an area via motion detection and also have video monitoring at the same time. A must buy!

Easy install, super fast speeds

This M.2 SSD is a must have for your gaming PC. I have the Acer Nitro 5 and it has 2 available M.2. slots. I was able to transfer my OS and everything over to this new SSD via Samsung Magician Software. The software makes it super easy to transfer everything and you can do it in less than an hour.
Samsung Magician also lets you run benchmark tests and gives you the drive's health.
I recommend you make sure to be careful opening up your laptop and that you don't have any static charge on your hands. You don't want to fry anything out on your mother board. Once you are in, this easily installs in the M.2 slot.
My computer boots up really fast now and I can access games instantly. I can honestly say this drive is a game changer.

Bad fit, sound is very good
on April 25, 2021
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Northwest, IL
First I will state the positive thing about these headphones, they sound very good. They are well balanced and the highs and lows are very clear. That is half of what makes a great pair of headphones. The other half is the fit. That's the negative, at least for me.
The buds come with the biggest cushion and they simply do not fit snug. They do not seal or feel comfortable and they just move constantly causing all sorts of noise distortion. I tried all the other cushions and they are smaller and fit even worse. I have never had this issue with any other set of Earbuds I have ever owned. The all come with at least one set of cushions that make them fit comfortably.
Other than the fit, the microphone only has one button, to play/ pause and skip tracks. It does not have volume controls, which is somewhat disappointing. The best physical feature is the USB type C connector. I now finally have wired headphones for my Galaxy.
Overall these are good headphones but they just don't fit me well and have limited controls. Hopefully others find them a better fit.

Amazon Alexa is built in, letting you issue voice commands to access entertainment, ask questions and a host of other features. This Logitech Harmony Express smart universal remote control lets you change TV channels, open apps on tablets and tackle numerous other tasks.
 

Can you use Harmony Elite AND Harmony Express in same room if you tweak Alexa App so that nothing overlaps ie commands,?

Logitech does not recommend using 2 Harmony remotes in the same room.

Bring the sounds of the movies to your home with these Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. The compact size fits neatly on top of your existing tower speakers for an easy way to upgrade your sound system. Mica-reinforced cellular cones reduce distortion, while the MDF cabinets absorb vibrations for better playback. These Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers offer surround sound capabilities for an immersive listening experience.
 

Today was the first day I saw these (Sony - Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers (Pair) - Black) available at Best Buy (other retailers have had them for about two weeks). It's 10:30am ET and they're sold out. Seriously!? When will they be available? If ever.

They will be available once they are obtained and put back into inventory. Thanks!

Without you knowing it, cybercriminals can infiltrate your Wi-Fi network and steal your identity or invade your privacy by accessing your connected devices. Password protection isn't enough anymore.Engineered with multi-layered security, Norton Core™ intelligently protects your Wi-Fi network and an unlimited number of connected IoT devices such as smart TVs, baby monitors, Wi-Fi thermostats as well as your personal devices like laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets against malware, spyware, ransomware, viruses and more.
 

Was just advised by Norton rep (have Nighthawk 1900/r7000 + Ubee Spectrum modem & current Norton Internet Security Premium) that I should "ADD the Core to my Nighthawk for enhanced security". Is this correct? So I'd connect Core to modem AND Nighthawk??

You could run the Core from an open Ethernet port from your Nighthawk, but may want to consider eliminating the Nighthawk and only run the Core since it protects all of your connected devices at the source (router).

Enjoy your tunes by the pool or on a boat with this ECOXGEAR ECOPEBBLE GDI-EGPB100 speaker, which features a waterproof, floating design that protects against moisture infiltration. Bluetooth technology makes wireless audio streaming simple.
 

Why is the Blue and Orange speaker more expensive (15 dollars!?) than the black one. I just received the orange one and now see the black is 14 dollars less. Why?

The blue and orange dyes are roughly 15 dollars more than the black dye.
