You really can not beat this Vitamix. Nothing else compares with the quality, look and power.
Having been a Vitamix owner of one of their older models for 5 years, I know the brand is reliable and built to last as my old unit still functions great.
I wanted this unit for the updated features such as Bluetooth and the ability to add an attachment to turn it into a food processor.
The look of this unit is very sleek and looks great on my counter.
As expected, performance is great. It actually runs quieter than my old model.
I am really enjoying the integration via the Vitamix app and the Bluetooth. Pick a recipe and you can run the blender as recommended for that particular recipe. I have had some great results especially with shakes, smoothies and my favorite which is the bacon cheddar potato soup.
Overall this is a great blender that does more than just mix drinks. You will not be disappointed with this model.

Was skeptical after never liking coffee from a pod system. Heard good things about the Nespresso system, decided to give it a try and am not disappointed.
The machine is sleek and takes up little counter space which is a plus. It is super simple to use, simply unlock, open the top, insert the pod, close top, lock it and hit the button. About three minutes or so later, your cup of coffee or espresso shot is done. Couldn’t be any easier.
I love the sampler pack that came with the unit. Tried almost all of them and have my list of favorites which I will order going forward.
As for the Aeroccino 3 that came with this, I can say this is the best milk frother I have ever owned. I love that besides doing hot frothy milk, you can also do a cold froth which is excellent. Takes about 90 seconds or so. The unit is easy to clean which is a huge plus.
Overall, this is now my primary machine for morning brews along with the Aeroccino 3. Excellent coffee and espresso, easy to use machine, and a great space saver. All I need to do now is learn how to make those fancy designs with the froth like they do in coffee shops and I’ll be a five star barista at home. Lol

ECOVACS DEEBOT OZMO U2 is a hardworking all-in-one robot that vacuums and mops in one go. Hard Floor Mode navigates in an efficient back-and-forth pattern. Max+ Mode provides more than 2.5X more suction power for stubborn dirt and debris. Cleans up to 110 minutes on a single charge.

I have been up in the air when it comes to robot vacuums but had a friend tell me nothing but good things about one they picked up. When I saw the EcoVacs Deebot Ozmo U2 I decided to take a chance and try it out.
We have two dogs here, one on the bigger side who sheds like crazy. I knew this vacuum would be put to the test and didn’t expect much.
Setup via my IOS device was super simple and no complaints there.
As for use, this vacuum far exceeded any expectations I had. I was almost embarrassed seeing how much dog hair it picked up considering I vacuumed with my full size yesterday.
Also used to to do a quick mop job and at this point I realize this will be my primary vacuum going forward.
Only issue one may run into is if you have any loose wires or string on the ground, it will catch it and get tangled. If you read the instruction book it does state to make sure there is nothing like that on the ground. I learned the hard way but on the flip side, when the unit does get tangled, it stops and sends you notification to alert you to undo the tangle.
I’m a big believer at this point and wish I found this vacuum sooner considering all the time it will save me going forward. Have a schedule set at this point so now I’ll just let it do it’s thing and I will only worry about cleaning out the collection bin.
This is a must have for anyone who wants to keep a tidy place but is limited on time or simply someone who wants one less chore to worry about. Excellent vacuum and I highly recommend it.

First impression was the packaging which says a lot for a product in my opinion. The massager came well packaged with great presentation.
Using the included charger, I charged the unit to full. Took a short amount of time but item did come with some charge so I can’t speak on how long it would take to fully charge the battery.
Using the included charger, I charged the unit to full. Took a short amount of time but item did come with some charge so I can’t speak on how long it would take to fully charge the battery.
The massager is well made and feels like it can take a bump. Very solid piece of equipment that seems like it will last for years to come.
Controls are very simple. Turn the switch located on the bottom of the handle to on, then choose the speed you prefer on the back by hitting the button until you find your desired setting.
Performance was excellent. I used it on my arms and legs. My legs tend to get stiff since I sit at work most of the day. Used it on my legs for a few minutes each leg and felt like I had a new set of legs that were not idle all day. Same with my arms.
I do have to get used to using it on my back but I am new to percussion massagers and am sure I’ll get it. Felt like the unit bounced when I hit the bone in my shoulder blade. This did not hurt at all and I assume it happened because I may have been holding it incorrectly and had little cushioning due to lack of muscle on my blade.
Initially I didn’t understand why Bluetooth would be beneficial but once I installed the Hyperice app I found out quickly. Device paired almost immediately with no issues. Using the app, you can set up a profile which will gear routines towards you whether you work behind a desk or are active in sports, gym work, etc.
Using the app is simple. Turn on the power on the massager, choose one of the routines they provide and hit start and simply follow the directions they give. This is a really amazing feature that I love.
Changing the attachments is easy. Simply pull out the one attached and put in the one you want to use. Not much more to that but I can say the attachments are well made.
All in all, this worked out all my kinks better than I could have expected and the overall functionality is very simple to use whether you use the app or change the settings manually on the unit.
If you are looking for a percussion massager I promise you will not go wrong with this one.

Keep surfaces dirt-free and dust-free with this Hoover ONEPWR DustChaser hand vacuum. The handheld design offers easy carrying between rooms, while the rechargeable LiIon battery allows for cord-free, continuous use. This Hoover ONEPWR DustChaser hand vacuum has a rinsable filter for easy maintenance and includes an upholstery tool and two-in-one dusting and crevice kit for furniture and hard-to-reach areas.

Wanted a small handheld vac for small jobs around the house such as picking up dog hair from our two dogs as well as crumbs from their treats that they leave behind.
Was a pain to pull out the full size vacuum for small jobs like this so this vacuum is perfect.
The Hoover OnePwr has not disappointed. There is an attachment that allows you to spot clean the floor with minimal bending. I’m 5’7 and simply lean more than bend when using this dust chaser.
In regards to the suction, works great for what I need it for. Picks up dog hair and crumbs very easily.
Also love the fact that I can use it on my stairs as opposed to using my stand up vacuum which is a pain to do as it requires carrying the whole vacuum down step by step to clean each step.
With this handheld, no balancing act required as we can simply carry it down and vacuum with one hand.
Battery charges quickly but drains relatively quick also. This is a handheld vacuum which is meant for spot jobs so it really plenty of battery life for moderate use.
Filter is small and easy to clean.
If anything, I would have loved to see this come with a stand or mount for placement when not in use.
Besides that, I have no complaints. Plenty of power for small jobs and a great modern look. Would buy this product again in the future is needed which I don’t foresee needing anytime soon.

Has Potential but Needs better quality control

I had high hopes for the Yummly Thermometer but unfortunately it did not match my expectations. Upon receiving the item, I followed the directions to set it up. It mentioned placing the probe in the charger to charge it prior to use. When probe was placed in the dock to charge, I did not see any indicator lights. Figured maybe the unit came fully charged so decided to try it out.
It did work on my first cook and was actually great. It allowed me to choose what food I was cooking which at the time was chicken breast. Started the cook and watched the app as the temp climbed. In the middle of the cook it notified me that is was time to flip the chicken which I did and continued cooking until it came to temp and notified me the cook was complete.
Removed the food from the grill and it really was cooked perfectly. I then cleaned the probe as directed in the instructions with a damp cloth. Placed the probe in the doc to charge and once again did not see any indicator lights letting me know it was charging.
I let it sit overnight and attempted to do another cook the next night. This time I received a warning telling me I need to place the probe on the dock to charge. It was at this point I realized the dock was not working and would not charge the probe.
Reached out to the company who asked me to try bending the connectors outward slightly to ensure it was making proper connection with the probe. Unfortunately this did not work. Kept in contact with the company to get a replacement but have not received one and have not received any updates in regards to one being sent.
I can definitely see the potential here but I believe better quality control is needed. I really want to love this item but unfortunately can not give a good review based on my experience.

The award-winning CrazyCap® self-cleaning bottle ensures water is safe to drink in as little as 60 seconds with its deep UV LED purification technology. The CrazyCap 2 has been Tested and Certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI 55 for Disinfection Performance, Class B when used in Crazy Mode. This makes consuming water safe and potable from anywhere in the world!

Love my new crazy cap bottle. At first I was disappointed in the size as the bottle I usually use was bigger. Quickly I realized this size was perfect as I have increased my water intake as the bottle is not intimidating as opposed to what I used prior.
Packaging is excellent. Opened the canister packaging it came in to find the bottle wrapped in a canvas type bag which was a nice plus and added to the presentation.
Cap did not come charged so I plugged it in to charge it up which didn’t take long.
At first I thought it was a push button and nothing would happen when I pressed the button but I quickly realized all that was needed was a light touch. Tap lightly twice for a one minute purification or tap five time for what they call Crazy mode which purifies with UV light for two minutes.
I prefer using the crazy mode since I don’t trust the water in my area. Using Crazy mode does decrease battery life faster but I did get a couple of days use before I had to recharge which was not an issue.
I tested to see if there would be any leaks when turned upside down. No issues there and the cap appears to be pretty solid.
Overall I am very happy with crazy cap. I am drinking more water and feel like I am safer using the purification process. Now I need to get one for my wife because she keeps threatening to steal my bottle.

The flagship cooker that started the home sous vide revolution — now with quicker connectivity and more power. This Anova Precision® Cooker is splash-resistant, steam-resistant and water-resistant for durability, and the compact design allows for easy, convenient storage.
Posted by: Dylnel
from Bethpage, NY
Been in the market for a Sous Vide for a while but wasn't sure what I wanted or if I needed one so I held off. So glad the Anova Precision Cooker now resides in my kitchen.
We do a lot of Chicken in our house and so far we are two for two on our cooks. Chicken has come out super juicy and tender both times.
As far setup, I downloaded the app on my phone and added the device with no issue whatsoever. Not even a hiccup. Simply hit add device and followed the directions and before I knew it, I was able to control my Anova with my phone. Being able to monitor your cook is something I never knew I needed and glad this does this.
When it comes to temperature, this unit holds the water temp at exactly what you set it for. As you can see in my pic, I have the unit set at 140. You may also notice my thermometer that I used to test the temp is not top of the line but the temp was right there showing 139.7 which held at that temp as long as I kept the unit in there.
Cleaning the unit is not hard at all. Can't really find any negatives as everything about my experience with this has been positive.
Being new to the Sous Vide world I can not claim to be an expert but I can tell everyone that my cooks have been my best according to my wife. For anyone looking to up their cooking game, and want a smart gadget in their kitchen, you will not go wrong with this unit. Only problem you may find is you will want to find more recipes to use with this but the Anova app has you covered with their recipes so once again, this is an overall win.

Keep your teeth clean with this white Boka electric toothbrush. The 2-minute timer helps you brush for the recommended length of time, and the 30-second alerts tell you when to switch to another section. This Boka electric toothbrush vibrates 30,000 times per minute for gentle, thorough performance, while the rechargeable LiIon battery lasts more than 25 days on a single charge.

Having used various types of electric toothbrushes, I always felt my teeth were clean until I used the Boka electric toothbrush.
First impression upon opening the packaging was how simple this was to use. Simply install the brush head and hit the button to turn it on.
This definitely had a different feel when brushing then others I have used prior and I was not sure how I felt about it since it was simply a vibration as opposed to a rotating head. This vibration action really did way more then rotating heads I have used especially since it alerts you every 30 seconds to ensure you move to a different section of your mouth. Not that brushing takes much thought but for me I feel like I brush way longer than necessary. With the alert feature which is simply a pause in the vibration, I moved to another section of my mouth and continued until the next alert and again till the next alert until it finally shut off after 2 minutes.
After just 2 minutes of brushing I looked in the mirror and was shocked at how clean my teeth were. It was very visible that the brushing action was able to get below the gum line and loosen an eliminate the slightly plaque buildup that I had leaving my teeth looking healthier and whiter.
This brush is very comfortable to hold and very light compared to others. My only issue is I wish I had this years ago.

Vary your strength training workouts with this JAXJOX KettlebellConnect adjustable smart kettlebell. Six weight settings between 12 and 42 lbs. suit different skill levels and exercise routines, and the JAXJOX app lets you record activity data for easy goal monitoring. The wide-grip handle of this JAXJOX KettlebellConnect adjustable smart kettlebell provides comfortable two-handed lifting.

Who needs a smart kettlebell? Everyone. I do not claim to be a gym rat but I do have a home gym to keep in shape. I have been in the market for a kettlebell for some time and after some research and me being a tech geek, the jaxjox kettlebell was the perfect fit.
First off, the box is heavy which should be no surprise so I recommend lifting with caution.
This can not be any easier to use. Simply hit the left or right button to select your desired weight and wait for the display to confirm the kettlebell is set to the desired weight.
I must admit, I wasn't familiar with too many kettlebell exercises but this is where the beauty of the app comes in. The app provides a number of videos from 10 minute core and leg workout to a 45 minute full body workout.
Kettlebell workout are much different then dumbbell workouts but after a few workouts I feel very comfy using this. In fact I am using this almost exclusively at this point and feel as if my workouts have been much more productive.
Overall this is currently the best piece of equipment in my home gym and I think may be the same for anyone else who is in the market for a kettlebell.

Braun 7-790CC Series 7 Shaving System: Get a smooth, close shave with three personalization modes suitable for different facial areas and skin types. The ActiveLift function captures flat-lying hair in problem areas so you get a precise shave every time.
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.
