Revive your Apple Watch conveniently with this Belkin Valet Charger power pack. A single charge of its 6700 mAh battery refuels a watch up to eight times, and an embedded smart chip detects connected devices for automatic wireless charging. This Belkin Valet Charger power pack includes a USB port for simultaneously charging additional devices.

I really do like this product and would recommend it. However, it does have one major issue. It takes quite a long time to recharge the device itself. I use other portable power packs and they take nowhere near as long as this one does to get up to a full charge (I don't use any power pack until it is fully charged) Other than that, though, there are no glaring bad problems. Once it is fully charged it works great, both for the Apple Watch charger and if I connect my iPhone to the portable power pack. However, the real test will be how long it lasts before the portable power pack stops working. I have had problems with Belkin products in the past that only last 3-6 months and then break down altogether. However, at this point I would say that this is a good product and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

I don't really have a problem with this item but I cannot think of anything that really sets it apart from other cheaper items. The headphones do stay in well and the sound is good. It isn't great though and I am not fond of the way the headphones hook on your ears. It does have a little clip so that you can tighten the cord around the back of your neck to prevent them from falling off easily. However, the little clip doesn't always work (at least in my experience) so this isn't enough to set it apart from other similar items. So, it is a good item but it is not the best in-ear headphones that I have come across. Still, it is not really disappointing and I would recommend it. It is not the best but it is not a bad item to any extent. Nothing really stands out to me about the item, though.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.

I have used iPhones for years because of how disappointing I have found android phones. When I saw the Google Pixel, though, I was interested enough to at least give it a chance. And I am really glad I did. It works well with most of the apps in the Play Store, the available widgets are great, call quality is very good as well as text messaging being fast and easy. One of the first things that I noticed was how much it looks like the iPhone 7. To me this isn't a bad thing but I can see other people having a problem with that. The best part of the design, though, (that is not the same as an iPhone) is the fingerprint reader at the upper back of the phone. It is out of the way but convenient. I am also very fond of how easy it is to get to Google News (from the main screen you just swipe right and it has news stories that are of interest to me, weather, etc). The camera is supposed to be pretty good but I cannot say if it is or not because I don't take many pictures. It was especially easy to transfer my contacts, music, etc. One thing I have not tested and will not test is how strong the screen is. However, I would suggest buying a screen protector because I have heard that the screen is especially fragile. Additionally, the phone is not waterproof. I think part of the reason I like this phone so much is because it takes aspects of Android phones that I like and portions of iPhones that I like. It makes for a good mix of features but I can see some people not liking the mix if they do not enjoy the iPhone at all. Additionally, most of the apps seem much more stable than they have been on any other Android phone I have used. The one thing that annoys me is that when I want to watch something on YouTube I have to use the native app as all of the other YouTube player apps do not have all the abilities that the native YouTube app has. That is not a problem I have noticed on the App Store when looking at iPhone YouTube player apps. I expect that if there are future Pixel phones Google will make changes to the design and make the phone waterproof, which are definitely necessary changes. But as this is Google's first time making a phone that is Google only software and hardware, this isn't a bad first try to any extent. It has some issues (design, not being waterproof) that would be major problems on a phone that had several generations but for a first generation it is not a major problem but a little annoying. Still I give it 5/5 stars because I like it a lot and considering how much I dislike Android phones normally that is quite the accomplishment.

Pretty Good But Not Great
on October 21, 2016

This item is easy to put together, easy to charge, and easy to clean after using it. For the most part, it works exactly like it should. It took me less than five minutes to get it set up, the instructions were detailed, and even the first time I put it on the charger it charged pretty fast. You actually plug the charger into the stick vac with a cable small enough that most people that came into your home would not even realize it was being charged (there is a plug in on the vac instead of having it hanging on a charger on the wall). This is a million times better than having to mount something to the wall and then making sure you hang the vac up JUST right so that it will charge. And it stays charged for a long time. The only downside is that it doesn't work as well on carpet as on hardwood floors. It is even worse on area rugs. This isn't a major problem for me because (a) I have a more heavy duty vac and (b) most of the floors in my house are hardwood floors. I took one star off for that, though, because for some people it might make a big difference depending on what type of floor(s) they are buying this vac for. Still, it is a good solid vac and I definitely recommend it.

Listen like never before with QuietControl 30 wireless headphones. Breakthrough technology lets you set your own level of noise cancellation, so you can control how much of the world you want to let in - or how quiet you want your surroundings to be. Volume-optimized EQ gives you balanced audio performance at any volume, while a noise-rejecting dual-microphone system provides clear calls, even in windy or noisy environments. Connect easily to your devices with Bluetooth and NFC pairing. QuietControl 30 wireless headphones feature a lightweight neckband design that conforms to your body for all-day comfort and wearability. A lithium-ion battery gives you up to 10 hours of wireless listening per charge. And the Bose Connect app helps you manage your paired devices and gives you enhanced control. Available in Black.

When I received this item I wasn't sure if I would like it but I thought if the noise cancelling feature actually worked it would be worth it. First, the noise cancellation feature is great. I say it is great because you can change it so that you are getting just the amount of outside noise that you want. In my house everything seems to echo so noise cancellation is very important to me. However, after everyone else is in bed and there is little noise in the house I cannot tell that the headphones have noise cancellation at all. This isn't a bad thing at all. The headphones are also more comfortable than the average set of headphones. I can wear the headphones for hours and barely remember that I am wearing them. They are exceptionally comfortable. As for the music, I have no problem with these headphones. They connect easily with my phone (and can actually connect with two devices at the same time) through bluetooth and stay connected. With some headphones I have noticed they connect easily but then disconnect easily when you don't want them to. That is not a problem I have experienced with these headphones. Right now I am using the headphones for noise cancellation so it is easier to concentrate and listening to a song. Most of the time, I like songs with a good beat and good bass. These headphones have no problem with songs like that. I can almost feel the beat, which is not something I have experienced with most headphones. For someone looking for good headphones with noise cancellation and who does not mind the in-ear headphones this is a great choice. The one downside, though, is that I have long hair and sometimes the little collar that goes around your neck can catch on my hair. For some people the little half collar around the neck may be a problem, too. I barely notice it unless I have my hair down since my hair can get caught on it. I find the little collar comfortable (but quite loose) but for some people it might feel heavy after awhile. The pros outweigh the cons but it is necessary to mention that there are some cons to this product.

When I received this item in the mail I was unsure whether it would be worth using often. I have mostly hardwood floors in my house, with carpet in only two rooms of the house. However, my vacuum cleaner was starting to go and I thought it would be nice to have a vacuum cleaner for the two carpeted rooms and then be able to use the same product for my hardwood floors. I have to say I am quite impressed with the product. The vacuum cleaner works great, it is easy to set up, and I especially like that it keeps the dirty water and the clean water separate. It is essentially, though, that you clean the parts every time you use the product. I was appalled at what the vacuum cleaner picked up the first time I used it. It was mostly hair or fur from the dog but there was a lot of it. However, clearly the vacuum picks up every little thing. I rated this as a 4 instead of a 5 because the normal extensions I am used to from a regular vacuum cleaner are not available. So cleaning some areas is a little harder. And it is necessary to use either the hand vacuum cleaner or the Swiffer mop (depending on which room I am cleaning) to get those hard to reach corners. Overall, though, it is a good product and I would definitely recommend it. Also, it wasn't very hard to set up at all, which I really appreciate.

Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

When I received this item I wasn't so sure if I would actually use it much. However, after a few days I have found it is much more convenient than I thought it would be. It wasn't hard to set up and it sits on my desk by my computer and barely takes up any room on my desk. Overall, a great product with no downsides that I have discovered.

First, I should mention that I have been using a Macbook Pro exclusively for the last four years. I was surprised how easy it was to go from a MacBook to this computer. Windows 10 is definitely easy to navigate.
Pros:
*It can handle several tasks at one time with no lag. For example, I played a video, did a security scan, and was using several tabs in Chrome at the same time. I had no problem with the computer keeping up with all tasks.
*I played videos from iTunes and from YouTube with no problems whatsoever, and with great clarity.
*I love that I can put the computer in display mode; it makes it much easier to use the touch screen and saves room.
*The keyboard, both virtual and physical, is great. I especially love how both have a 10 number keyboard. That is something most laptops I have used in the past have removed, and I really missed it.
*I connected this computer to my HDTV (using the HDMI port) and it was easy to set up, and worked great. Additionally, having so many USB ports on a laptop is especially nice.
*I downloaded iTunes to the computer, downloaded some videos from there, and then played some of the videos for a few minutes. It downloaded both iTunes and almost 50 videos very fast.
*The battery is also a plus. It tells you what percentage you have left, how much time you have left on the battery, and has a battery saver option (which I always use).
*The screen is large but not too large. It is great for doing email on. While the top of the laptop has a very slick feel to it, the bottom does not.This means that I do not feel like I am going to drop it easily and break it.
*The speed is great, as is the 1 TB of space, no matter what I am doing on the computer. Additionally, the volume is good and very clear.

Cons:
*Sometimes the touch screen stops working. It is only for a few seconds so it is not a big deal. It is just a little annoying at times.
*Start up the first time takes a little while but after that start up is better. It is not fantastic to any extent but it is not exceptionally slow either.
*I do not like where the power and volume keys are located. I know that because you can turn the laptop in a tablet, put it in display mode, etc. that it is important to have the power and volume keys on the outside of the computer but it is still hard to get used to. They seem like they are in the way a little bit and occasionally get hit when they shouldn't be.

While there are a few things I do not like about this computer, I would still recommend it. My few complaints about it do not make it a bad computer at all. In fact, I would call it a very good computer. This computer will be mostly used for college, and for that purpose it will more than suffice. It has enough RAM, enough space, opens Microsoft Office quickly, and is relatively light for its size. Overall, a very good computer. I gave it four stars instead of five stars because it is not perfect. Most items are not perfect but having touch screen problems right out of the box, even if it is for a few seconds only, is enough to drag my review of it down to four stars instead of five. Still, it has minor problems and the pros outweigh the cons.

I have bought plenty of devices like this because they either did not work correctly or I just plain didn't like them. This product, though, was easy to get put together and my phone stays on it just great. I rely on having my phone with me all the time and like to listen to music in the car from my phone so it is important to me that this type of product works well. It takes up less space than other products like this and does what it says. That is all I really need and I am happy with the product.

This item is great. I use it in my home, and it not only provides great service in my house but in the garage, front yard, and backyard as well. I live in a 3 story house. Additionally, it was really easy to set up. It took me less than five minutes to set up. I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 because sometimes it will stop working altogether. But I unplug it and plug it back in and it is working great again within mere minutes. It is definitely something I would recommend buying. Before I started using this I got pretty good wi-fi in the house and on the front stoop but that was it. So it has definitely increased where I can use wi-fi at. Also, I am not very tech savvy most of the time so when I get a product like this that is set up and ready to go in under five minutes it means it is REALLY easy to set up. Additionally, on the box it says it has a 3 year warranty and 3 year tech support.
