Must Have to help unwind after a day on your feet
on August 29, 2022
Posted by: Dylnel
Wasn’t 100% sure if this is something I would need but I am certainly very happy now that I have it. Hyperice products are always a solid choice and the Normatec Go is no different. Great to use after spending a long day on your feet, and even better to use after leg day.
They pair very easily with each other allowing you to control both from one control panel as opposed to having to set both independently. Even better is how easily it pairs with the Hyperice app allowing you to control both from your phone. There are no routines available in the app as of this writing but it would be nice to see some that alternates the pressure throughout the session. You can do this manually with no issue but it would be nice to see it automated.
I am still getting the hang of putting it on because it is a long Velcro attachment. Sometimes I feel like it is too loose but once readjusted I’m good.
It can be tough to judge if it is too loose or too tight since you really don’t know until you start using it. I do find I am getting better at finding just the right tightness but still a work in progress.
Overall, I love my Normatec Go and recommend it highly.

I wanted to get a few uses in and try the different features before I left a review to give some details. Since receiving this, it has quickly become my new go to in the kitchen as it does it all. I used the grilling function for both chicken and steak and both came out phenomenal. The chicken breast was grilled from frozen and as you can see in the pic, came out great. Definitely great for indoor grilling.
The skillet is awesome also and made smash burgers as well as eggs. Sticking does not seen to be an issue on the skillet and cleanup was simple.
As for the air fryer, we used that to make our daughter chicken nuggets and they came out super crispy with no oil used.
As for the unit, it does take up counter space but it is worth it as is replaced our old air fryer and can be used for things we do on the stove or in the oven.
Cleanup is not an issue. The plates are removable and clean pretty easily. Cleaning under the cover isn’t to bad either. Just be sure to keep the splatter guard on so grease does not come in contact with the heating element. Could create some smoke.
Overall, this is a really great kitchen tool and is now my go to when cooking. I wish I would have picked one up sooner.

This is another great product by DJI. So many great things about this camera. First off, I love the dual screen capability. It allows you to record what’s in front of you or record with you in front of it without losing image quality like you would when switching between a front and back facing camera on a phone. Couple that with the fact that the image quality on phones, at least the ones I have used, don’t compare.
And the beauty is it is small where people don’t even notice it. I find I bring this everywhere now and haven’t used my phone as a camera because it just can’t compete.
Thankfully you can transfer videos to your phone through the app if you want to show off your work and everyone I have showed said the image quality is amazing.
Battery life on it is no problem even at high res 4K although it does get warm so you can tell at the highest resolution there is significant battery usage.
I’m already a fan of its cinematic mode which is my go to now. Just the look of the videos alone in cinematic is great. Images are detailed and color is very accurate.
DJI hit it out of the park with this camera.

The Ninja DualBrew Grounds & Pods Coffee Maker delivers Classic, Rich, and Over Ice brews from your favorite coffee grounds or coffee pods. Customize your brew with 9 grounds sizes from cup to carafe and 4 pod sizes from 6 to 12 oz.
Posted by: Dylnel
from Bethpage, NY
What more can I say. This really brews a great cup of coffee. Now I have tried both brewing with the filter basket as well as brewing with the pods. I personally never liked pod coffee and was hoping it would be different here but honestly, brewing with the pod just was not my taste. Tried it with both classic brew and rich and it just didn’t do it for me. I can’t blame the ninja for this. If anything, it was probably the pods I used.
I prefer to have a pot of coffee made anyway and this is where this shines.
We have brewed a few pots on classic brew and wow, each pot was better than the last.
Also brewed over ice and once again, super cup of coffee.
Like I said, I’m not a pod person so don’t take my advice on that, but do listen to my advice when it comes to traditional brewing. Really great coffee and I love this machine for it.

As someone who records a lot on my phone this is a great tool.
I am not a professional by any means but this certainly helps me look like one.
I have a one year old who is walking so my videos of her doing so were a bit shaky. With the OM5, my videos of her are smooth and seamless.
First off, the unit when the phone attached is not heavy at all which is great for extended recording.
As for controls, the follow feature is excellent but keep in mind it is on you to keep the subject in the frame. My daughter is fast and has run out of the frame unexpectedly so I was not ready to follow and the camera lost her. I don’t believe this is fault of the unit at all as in normal circumstances the camera follows with no issues.
The included tripod is a nice tool allowing us to record for blogging without having to worry about holding the camera. It allows for a hands free experience especially for someone like me who has been told I talk with my hands. Lol
In regards to panning, it is super smooth and I have had no issues at all.
I have an iPhone XS and it holds extremely well and I have no worries about the phone falling off.
Overall, this is a great tool for anyone who enjoys creating videos. It will give you an edge over anyone who simply handholds their phone while they video as video will be much more smooth as opposed to hand held.

Solid Bottle with great concept for cleaner water
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: Dylnel
from Bethpage, NY
As one who’s main beverage throughout the day is water, I loved the idea of this bottle and had to have it. Build quality is very solid and overall appearance is clean.
Not much to write in regards to operation as it simply requires you to charge the cap with the provided USB wire and once charged, fill the bottle and hit the button on top and the cap will do the rest.
Overall, this is a great bottle and I plan on purchasing a second one for my wife.

I have been contemplating another mode of transportation to I have an option and don't always have to rely on my car. This fit the bill perfectly.
First off, putting this together is super easy as all it requires is four screws. I did have a slight issue getting two the screws in as the holes were not exactly lined up but I was able to get them in with a little finesse.
Once together, I allowed the scooter to charge for the recommended five hours then took it out for a run. The throttle will not do anything until you kick start and ride at around 2mph but once you do, you hit the throttle and it takes off like a rocket. There is slow throttle up, it just goes but once you know that it is really fine. If you do decide to ride slow, you can set cruise control and will ride at the speed you turned cruise control on at.
As for speed, there are two settings, one which maxes out at 12mph and the other at 18mph. I personally like the higher setting simply because 18mph on this scooter is way faster than you would think and I have little fear riding at top speed as it handles the bumps in the road well. I was nervous about that at first but now that I rode it a few times, the smoothness of the ride allows me to ride with little fear.
The brakes are excellent on this also. Even at top speed you can come to a complete stop pretty quickly.
It is a bit on the heavy side but in reality, it is meant to be ridden more than carried. I don't think I will have an issue carrying it on and off the rail road to ride from the train to either work or my house. Definitely great for me for this reason.
The lights are great as you can be seen if riding at night which I do not see myself doing but never say never.
Overall, I have already used this a number of times to run to the store for small items where I didn't feel I needed my car. I wouldn't load up on groceries and ride but one or two bagged items is manageable. This has become my new favorite mode of transportation at this point to get around town. Definitely enjoy everything about it.

The Arlo video doorbell was just what we were looking for. We have another camera system in place but the video quality is not great especially at night. This solves that issue at our front door. This was a very easy install as it came with all the hardware that we needed. Simply took it out of the box and let it charge to full which took two or three hours. Once charged you need to figure out if you want a flat mount or slightly angled mount. There is a mount to give it a slight angle if needed. We went with the flat mount due to the wide field of view.
Simply screw in the mount and attach the camera and you are up and running.
Overall use is simple. In settings you can choose your active areas that will trigger the camera when it senses motion. For us, we choose our property so passing cars would not trigger motion which would trigger alerts all day and is not necessary.
It takes 2 to 3 seconds to start live view if you want to take a peek outside but really isn’t necessary as anything you need to see will alert you as it happens.
Overall image quality is excellent both and day and night. You will not see to far at night but we can see our property which is all we are concerned with.
Overall this is a great video doorbell and we are considering a second for the back door.
Battery based on current usage should last a few months with no issues. You won’t go wrong with this choice.

The PRO pressure cooker that crisps. 11 programmable cooking functions provide endless recipe options inside the nonstick 6.5-qt cooking pot and 4.6-qt Cook & Crisp Plate. TenderCrisp Technology lets you pressure cook then air fry finish.
Posted by: Dylnel
from Bethpage, NY
First impression when looking at the Ninja Foodi 11 in 1 unit is it is big. Reality for us is it is actually a space saver considering we had another brand multi cooker along with another brand of air fryer. We were able to increase counter space by simply having this.
As for performance, definitely performs as good if not better than our previous multi cooker and air fryer. As you can see in the attached pics, I did chicken thighs with carrots and rice which is what you see under the rack.
First we pressure cooked everything ensuring the chicken would be at a safe internal temp. Once cook was complete, we closed the air fryer lid and airfried all the contents which resulted in nice crispy chicken thighs, soft carrots with a little char and excellent rice.
We have been using this almost nightly since receiving it and have not had a bad meal yet.
As for cleaning, simply remove the inner pot and run a little warm water with soap and a soft sponge and the pot is clean and ready to use again.
This is a excellent all in one cooker which as stated works as well if not better than others on the market. Definitely something to consider if you are in the market for a multi cooker and air fryer.

Combine the power of your Vitamix motor base with the precision of a large-capacity, full-feature food processor. Go beyond blending and discover how easy food prep can be.
Posted by: Dylnel
from Bethpage, NY
This food processor add-on is excellent. You not only get quality that Vitamix is known for, but you also get the power your vitamix blender provides.
Had one issue that caused me a little confusion in the beginning and this I believe applies to anyone who has a Vitamix Ascent 3500 and uses the app. When you insert this on your vitamix base, you see a message under the blender section that says Unsupported container placed on blender. I was going back and forth in the directions to see if I was doing wrong.
What I realized is, I believe the message comes up simply because there are no recipes in the app associated with the food processor. I came to this conclusion simply because when you insert the food processor add-on, the image of the blender does show the food processor installed as shown in the pics I included in this review.
The blade attachments are sharp so be careful when handling but know that this will have no issue slicing and dicing. I have used it to make a nice pico de gallo which was amazing not to mention an excellent cole slaw that hands down beat any store bought slaw.
So far, this has exceeded our old food processor which we have now given away as this does what our old one did and then some.
I highly recommend this add-on if you are in the market for a food processor.

Would this product be suitable for shaving your head?
Or is there another model/product that is better designed for that?
I use it on my head every few days. Takes a few passes on the back of your head but I get a great shave every time. Very close to what I get with a regular razor and I feel hardly any stubble.
You may have to flip the top of your ear to get that area above your ear but that's it. It really gives a great shave.

does this come with a charging cord for travel?
I can't very well bring the charging/cleaning station...
Yep. It's the same cord you plug into the base. Just unplug from the base and plug it direct into the razor. Just traveled with it recently and had it on my carry on with no issues.
