Good Item But Doesn't Offer Everything Others Do
on January 6, 2019

I do like this item but I have tried other items like this and this one does not offer everything that others do. First, the good things. The glue connected this item to my phone easily and I never had a problem with it coming undone. Wireless charging still works even with this item attached to my phone. The GrabTab feels comfortable when I am holding it and I don't feel like it will suddenly slip. Now the negative things. With other items like this, you can rotate it but this is just stuck in one position. I also found that after I used the GrabTab the first time the GrabTab itself never laid flat again. This isn't a horrible thing but it is annoying. My phone just doesn't sit quite right when I am charging it on a regular charger and it is a little odd on my wireless charger. Also, other items like this offer the ability to connect it to your car somehow. Either through a car vent or through magnetics. While this may not be a dealbreaker for some people, I would prefer that it could connect to my car somehow for hands-free access. Overall, it is a good product but it just doesn't offer everything that others like it offer and the fact that the GrabTab kickstand can never be put back into the exact position it was in before the first time used is annoying.

This item works great on stairs and the small areas that most vacuum cleaners cannot get it easily. It is cordless, which is nice. The first time I used it, though, it took quite awhile to fully charge. Getting it put together was extremely easy. Overall, it is exactly what I expected. Nothing more and nothing less. It works great and I would definitely recommend it.

I really do like this item. The headphones are comfortable and stay in well. Audio sounds good. But the best part of this product is that you can charge it using Qi wireless. It doesn't charge very fast using this method but it is a lot easier than using USB charging. One downside is that in the box there was very little in the way of instructions on how to use or even connect it to my phone. Instead, there is a web address you have to go to which explains everything you need. I find it annoying when companies don't add even a quick start guide in the box and you have to go elsewhere to find the important information. Once I charged the headphones and went to the web address it was easy to connect the headphones to my phone. They stay connected well and basically just do everything that the box says they should do. The app allows you to track where your headphones are if you lose them. That feature works well but it only tells you the address of where they are and doesn't give you any more information. Overall, it is a good item, especially if you like having headphones that are as small as possible.

I have previously owned two other Keurig machines and this one is pretty much the same. It is a good item but nothing about it really stood out to me. While it does do some extra things, such as it warms up milk so that you can have froth on top of your latte or cappuccino , it isn't a huge difference from previous machines. I like the item and will continue to use it but it doesn't do anything new enough to where I would say you should definitely buy this item over the other models available to purchase. It works exactly as expected, was easy to put together, and the instructions were easy to understand. One downside is that there were no k-cups that came with the machine. In the past when I have got a Keurig machine, there are 2 or 3 k-cups included with the machine so the consumer can try it out right away. It works exactly the way I expected but doesn't really add enough new things to the product for me to be excited about the product. Based on the two other Keurig machines I have used, this product will likely last for quite some time. I have never had a Keurig machine break down on me before and I expect this one to last just as long.

My previous vacuum cleaner was a lot like this one and lasted for about 9 months before the brush roll needed to be cleaned. After I cleaned the brush roll, the vacuum cleaner stopped working right. My hope with this one is that since the brush roll is supposed to be tangle free this will not be a problem. Either way, I won't be able to determine that for quite some time.
I do like how easy this was to put together, that it has the Febreze filter, it has a long cord, the suction is quite powerful, the tank release is easy, and it has the ability to go from suction for thin carpet to suction for plush carpet. I especially like the ability to change the suction because I have one floor of my house with very plush carpet while the other floor has carpet with less plushness. However, the Febreze filter is probably the best part of the vacuum cleaner because I think it is the one thing that really stands out. It isn't a necessity by any means but it is something that is not available on every vacuum. However, putting the Febreze filter in is the most difficult part of assembly. The issue isn't getting the filter in but getting the lid back on the part of the vacuum that it goes in. It is difficult to line up properly and took several times to get it in correctly so I could lock it in place. Overall, it is a good vacuum cleaner that works well. Only time will tell if the tangle free brush roll works as I expect.

For students and families who want classic Office apps installed on one Windows 10 PC or Mac for use at home or school. Classic 2019 versions of Office apps including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Plus, OneNote for Windows 10.
Posted by: Cas25

I haven't used Microsoft Office on a regular basis for a few years now but this version of it seems just as good as I expected. For reference, I installed this on my MacBook Pro. PowerPoint now has support for 3D and embedded fonts and there are now captions for audio available, which are some helpful options. All of the apps have the availability to customize the ribbon, which is extremely helpful. Word has things like ink effects, roaming pencil case, and tilt effects now available. One of the things I like the most in Word is focus mode, which makes it so you can concentrate on the content in your document without any screen clutter. Excel now has some new functions that have been added. There is also an accessibility checker available, which is great. I think the last time I bought Microsoft Office there was an accessibility checker in Word but not in Excel. In Excel, you can also show data on a 2D map and there are funnel charts available now. OneNote synced up easily. I have never used OneNote often on my computer. Instead, I use the OneNote app on my tablet. Overall, all parts of Microsoft Office seemed just as good as I was used to and has some new interesting things available. The first thing I set up in all four applications of Microsoft Office was the Quick Access Toolbar, which I find imperative. I started using Microsoft Office in the 1990s when I was in junior high school. And have used almost every version of it since then for junior high, high school, college, and then work. It is only over the last five years that I haven't used it often, and I am glad to see that it hasn't changed that much since I stopped using it on a daily basis. I really do recommend it. I have never found another Office suite that I like as much as Microsoft Office.

My previous vacuum cleaner stopped working properly and so I was looking for a new vacuum cleaner in which hair buildup on the head would not be a problem and was easy to use. This vacuum cleaner actively removes hair buildup, which is great. It is small and not difficult to move between the basement and the main floor, which is also imperative to me. It was EXTREMELY easy to put together and was easy to start using. The first time I used it, it did smell a little bit. And even after using it there is a slight smell. My hope is that the smell will go away entirely after awhile. This vacuum cleaner also works well on both carpet and hardwood floors. Overall, it just works well and was easy to put together, which is very important to me. I have two small children in my house so I need to vacuum often. Another thing I really like is that it is bagless. Any time I buy a vacuum cleaner I make sure it is bagless because I cannot stand having to change bags. Thankfully, nowadays there is plenty of vacuum cleaners that are bagless. This is a good vacuum cleaner but nothing extraordinary. Basically, it just works and fits my needs.

I really do enjoy this product. It is nice to be able to watch things like YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu on my tv. However, it is especially nice that it is Alexa enabled. There are plenty of apps available to download to make it even more fun to use. However, the main ones that show up right away are Netflix, Hulu, prime video, HBO, Starz, and Showtime. You can watch television on it as well as play music, and it was very easy to set up. Overall, it is a good product.

Bitdefender Total Security 2020 is a complete next-generation solution to cover cybersecurity for your Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices with no compromise on performance and battery life.
Posted by: Cas25

This item does have plenty of product features to check out. There is the normal things you expect like real-time data protection, anti-phishing, anti-fraud protection, secure browsing, a VPN, safe online banking, parental controls, firewall, and password manager. Overall, I found it to be a good product. I especially like products that offer a password manager. The Bitdefender Autopilot is very nice also. The autopilot basically sets everything up to make your computer the safest it can possibly be. It tells you when updates need to be done or things need to be changed on your computer to make you safer. I don't use parental controls so I did not try this part of it out much. There is also a vulnerability assessment that I really like. It essentially tells me when I need to do updates. It does have a VPN. However, the product comes with a maximum of 200 MB a day. This just isn't enough for me and it is mainly meant for when you are at a coffee shop or somewhere with unprotected internet access. I have a VPN already on my computer but still it would have been nice for a VPN to be built into the product that allowed more than 200 MB a day. When it comes to making sure that the user does not go to any sites that may cause a problem with their computer this product really works overtime. There are some sites that I visit on a regular basis that other products do not have a problem with. But this product always flags the sites. You can choose to show any site you want as safe. Or you can choose to go back to the previous safe page you were on. Overall, it is a good product. Additionally, it does not slow down my computer by much when running a scan.

This is a good item, and definitely better than some I have tried. The best aspect, in my opinion, is that this item feels very comfortable. That is a big deal for me because I hate it when I am wearing headphones that hurt the top of my head or my ears. Additionally, some headphones hurt my head when I am wearing glasses. This is not a problem with these headphones. The battery is long lasting, as well. The noise cancelling feature works well. The best part of the noise cancelling feature is that you can touch the right side of the headphones and it will turn off the noise cancelling feature until you let go of the right side of the headphones. This is great for when someone is talking to you because I do not have to pause the music. And then as soon as I let go of the right side of the headphones the music comes back at the same level as before. While there is nothing that really makes these headphones great, there is plenty of things that make this item good. In fact, these are the headphones that I use the most right now.
