A multi-function cooking powerhouse!
on July 6, 2022
Posted by: MemphisTechieRN
Kitchen items that are marketed as single-function, I usually find ways of using them to multi-task. But then you run into the true "zebras" out there, like the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry that are multi-function products that are NOT just all gimmicky marketing. You remember those items from back in the day, which would have infomercials running every Saturday morning with a crowd yelling nonsensical catch phrases over and over and over. The Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry again, is NOT one of those.
Let's dive in.
The only thing that sort of freaked me out during the setup process was all the "prior to first use" cleaning instructions. It wasn't the number of, but the escalating nature. First, they want you to wipe it off with a cloth, then a damp cloth inside, then set it to 450 for a heating cycle. But "Don't worry, the fumes which are emitted will not harm the product". Um. When I see the word "Fumes" My first concern is not about the product (unless I'm the product?).
**** BUT it turns out that must have been put in the manual for legal reasons, because there were minimal odors during the pre-use cleaning. None of which I would call "fumes" by any means". ****
**** BUT it turns out that must have been put in the manual for legal reasons, because there were minimal odors during the pre-use cleaning. None of which I would call "fumes" by any means". ****
Before I go into the function, the form of the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven is pure luxury. Who doesn't love the classic, clean looks of stainless steel? Out of all the different variations, I get the feeling stainless steel will be the best seller. From the rounded corners, to the easy to see screen - everything about the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven screams "This is classy!!". And it is built to last, it is SOLID. This is not a product that feels like it is going to wear out any time soon.
What does the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven do that makes it stand out ahead of all the others?
Get ready for it.
This multi-function bad boy does all the following:
Air-Fry
Bake
Broil
Crisp-Finish
Dehydrate
Keep-Warm
Proof
Reheat
Roast
Slow-Cook
Toast
Bake
Broil
Crisp-Finish
Dehydrate
Keep-Warm
Proof
Reheat
Roast
Slow-Cook
Toast
Along with the specialized functions:
Bagel
Cookies
Pizza
Bagel
Cookies
Pizza
I have tried out all the functions except for the bagel and cookie functions (for some reason I can't bring myself to do so, personal reasons).
And the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven does them ALL bang-on accurate! Now, I may be breaking a rule, but this truly is a "SET IT AND FORGET IT!" (See above!) cooking device! Others have mentioned that they have had to tweak cooking times a minute here or there. That will be true with any product. Science and everything.
But, from air fried chicken, to french fries (fried mushrooms, and fried mozz sticks) oh my! I never was one who thought he'd jump on to the "Air Fry" bus (though some other products got me to for a short while) - the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven has made me a believer. All the items I mentioned a second ago, plus a bunch more which I won't bore you with Air Fry in the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven so perfectly, you honestly cannot tell the difference!
You will be gaining an Elite, Luxury cooking device on your counter with the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven. It is well worth the investment (I would expect the MSRP to be more, for everything this baby does).
Out of all the products I have reviewed, this is one that very quickly earns a five-star rating from me!

The Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer is another in an extensive line of printers from companies that realized printer ink cartridges were very 2010!
I must reveal that I have had the pleasure of using other similar printers in the past, but never thought I'd someday own such an elite device as the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer.
I must reveal that I have had the pleasure of using other similar printers in the past, but never thought I'd someday own such an elite device as the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer.
What makes the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer different from all the rest? Is it worth the hefty price tag? What exactly is a megatank anyway?
Let's dive in!
To answer the last question first, a MegaTank is something those of us with a small business could only dream about less than a decade prior. If you wanted to go the way of an inkjet printer, with all their "pros", their one and only "con" was the piddly amount of ink that even the "extra ink" variety cartridges would offer. You would have to rig up a bottle system that was prone to fail and would void your warranty!
In comes the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer to the rescue!
Instead of cartridges, this baby guzzles the ink into its (FOUR) reservoirs. So ok, you are asking yourself "now I can see how much ink is left on the front of the machine, big deal!".
No, my friend.
No.
Just no!
No, my friend.
No.
Just no!
Compared to the carts, this baby can chug out six thousand black and white pages, and 14,000 color pages on a single set of ink bottles! And yes, your first set of bottles of pigment ink to "charge" its reservoirs are included!
What does that mean for you, the small to medium business owner?
The Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer will save you, on average 80% if you were to use a laser printer instead. Did you hear that? This thing is cheaper to operate than a laser printer! How cheap? About $0.02 a page (yes!) two cents!
If the above alone hasn't sold you on the value of the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer, then let's look at what else it can do for you and your small to medium-sized business!
Even though this baby is packed with features, its footprint is ridiculously small. I have it sitting on top of my home office's mini fridge (aww hush!) for reference.
Loading the inks (again there are four, and they are pigment inks) is simple and painless. I bet you thought you would be spilling the inks all over the place when loading up? Canon thought of those of us that are less.......than graceful. The bottles load ink into the tank in such a way that spillage is virtually impossible!
I have mentioned pigment inks a couple times in this review for good reason. Pigment inks are the best inks when it comes to small to medium sized business needs. There are no smears, and pigment inks are very resistant to UV light fading. So that "Welcome Back Bob!" banner you made, can remain in your window with no worries of fading until Bob gets his behind back to work! Will Bob ever return?
I digress....
All loaded up and ready to print? No longer do you have to install software on every computer in your house JUST TO PRINT. The Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One connects to your Wi-Fi, and you connect to it wirelessly! It's that simple.
If you like to fiddle with settings (like I do) Canon does not disappoint either with its LCD touchscreen! Even in a VERY BRIGHT room, seeing every detail was no issue.
The prints are crisp and bright and can handle HUGE print jobs as long as 47"! It handled every weight of card stock I could throw at it as well as glossy paper. There was absolutely no issue at any point with jamming.
Smooth as silk!
It wouldn't be an "all-in-one" if it didn't have a scanner. And what an awesome scanner it does have with a 50-sheet auto doc feed up top too. Scans are crystal clear and copies and pictures (and text!) are perfect!
Don't like visiting the stock room? (Dumb question, I know!)
Canon again has you covered with a 250-sheet plain paper capacity bottom cassette and the ability to have an ADDITIONAL 100 sheets up top! Talk about MAXIFY! Any other times I *tried* to utilize other brands' "large-capacity paper trays", I inevitably ended up in tears. But again, this baby has not had a single jam. And I am not a light printer by any means.

And I am not a light printer by any means.
While it may seem like a high price to pay for a printer, it truly is worth it when it comes down to the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One. You are essentially assured that you have problem-free prints for years to come. Before I stop rambling, Canon also has you covered with a Three-year/EIGHTY-THOUSAND-page limited warranty!
I know the last time I had something go wrong with a printer from "the other guys", even though it was in warranty - they scoffed and acted like I was the problem when it turned out to be a major defect that I was one of the first (of MANY) to discover.
I get the feeling that customer support from Canon will be as rock-solid as the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One has been for me so far. That is if I ever have to contact them!
How can one ramble on and-on-and gush about an all-in-one printer, as I have if it weren't COMPLETELY AWESOME, and in one word: PERFECT? The answer is simple, I wouldn't!
If you want to know 100% that you will have an awesome experience, and will not run into any problems, then the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One printer is for you!
And in my humble opinion, it would still be worth it even if it were double in price!
Stop messing around with the little "toy" printers that take carts. Move on up to the major league with the Canon - MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 Wireless All-In-One printer today! It is worth every single penny!

Oh, dead spots, oh dead spots
on June 18, 2022
Posted by: MemphisTechieRN
There are no more Wi-Fi dead spots.
Now that you liked my little jingle, let's take a little dive into TP-LINKS' latest offering, the DECO AX4300 HOME MESH WI-FI 6 SYSTEM.
Wi-Fi ---- Home---- System.
Those are the only three words you'll need to remember from this (sometimes, well mostly) rambling review.
The DECO AX4300 HOME MESH WI-FI 6 SYSTEM is the first system that I can ever recall advertising that it can cover more than a four thousand square foot home (actually, ALMOST triple that in my not so scientific "how far does it go" testing). Using only three small mesh units.
Unboxing, we find the meat and potatoes - 3 mesh routers. These are sleek and stylish looking. The design harkens back to the device that you talk to "from the forest". They are surprisingly small for the punch they pack, nothing like the monolithic towers from when MESH technology was first introduced.
They each also offer i/o of one 2.5Gig and two 1Gig ethernet ports. I was sad to see that USB ports were not included for those that wanted to connect storage directly to their Wireless net. But that is the 2010 reviewer in me. That in fact, is the only reason one star has been put back in my briefcase of product stars preventing a five-star rating!
So, what is MESH, is it worth the hype? Just think of beacons covering your entire house in a net (pun intended?) of wireless connectivity. The DECO AX4300 HOME MESH WI-FI 6 SYSTEM does so and does so FLAWLESSLY. The DECO AX4300 also does so with AI learning (queue The Twilight Zone music). I'm not going to go on and on about that, or the Beamforming, or BSS color. Others are sure to do that. My goal is to explain to you why YOU NEED THIS NOW in (as close to) human-speak as possible.
My internet provider's MODEM (you'll still need one of those) is upstairs in my office, and I wanted to see how Mesh Unit #3 performed, which is in the master bedroom, on the floor below, allllllll the way on the opposite side of the house (2,000+ square foot home). The speed was within 10mB/s and latency was 1ms more give or take THAN MY WIRED CONNECTION!
I was pulling 700mB/s down on average at all points in my home. And with a 700mB/s down plan from XFi...Xfiles yes, that's the one - you can't get any better than that!
I was pulling 700mB/s down on average at all points in my home. And with a 700mB/s down plan from XFi...Xfiles yes, that's the one - you can't get any better than that!
And in fact, if there was a reboot of the reboot of that TV show, they would be doing an episode on the Wi-Fi performance in my household. And outside it! I was also pulling 650 mB/s down with a latency of 14ms in the backyard, beyond the pool, to the farthest reaches of the estate! And you know what? If you want even further reach (can't see why, but I'll humor you) all you need to do is go out and get an extra MESH unit.
With such power comes the chances of your neighbor, "Mr. Hacqour" trying to jump onto your connection (or worse!) No worries there! The DECO AX4300 HOME MESH WI-FI 6 SYSTEM provides the latest in wireless encryption technologies (WPA3). And for those that are less tech-minded the included "Homeshield" is a sort of "set it and forget it" suite of protection tools. Everything from parental controls (Bad, little Johnny!), to antivirus, to cyber-threat detection.
I can hear you now saying, "all that sounds great, but I do just fine with my rented router and my wifi extender and my antenna and my aluminum foil". No! Just NO! You are not doing fine. If you want wifi that is the closest I've ever seen to having a hardwired connection in terms of speed and latency, no you are not doing fine! The DECO AX4300 provides this AND MORE!
Just stop thinking about it, head out to Best Buy and get the DECO AX4300 HOME MESH WI-FI 6 SYSTEM NOW!
Little Johnny will thank you!

A sturdy friend to guide the way

"I Just use MAPS on my phone" is the answer I receive when I ask people in my age range (35-45) what their preferred navigation aid was. I must admit, that was my answer too until I discovered the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS.
First, the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS relies on decades of proven technology to get you to your destination. Sure, mount your smart phone... But use your phone to do phone things. Leave the navigating to the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS.
Opening the box, you are greeted by the massive 7" screen. Power cord, and car mount.
Setting up the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS was a breeze, as the unit came fully charged and connected to both my phone and Wi-Fi with ease. If I can do it, you can do it! Answer a few questions on the GPS itself, and you are good to go.

I input the usual (work, home, friends' houses, Dr's office's etc.) into my favorite destinations. TomTom has you covered for everything else. I was delighted by the instant recall that the GPS would either recognize the destination by either typing in the first few letters of the name, or the first few numbers of the address. It is, at times, a bit creepy as if it can read your mind! That is how instantly fast the results now come up!
Mounting this bad boy was simple as well. The mount connects to the back of the GPS via what seems to be an extraordinarily strong magnet. I am incredibly pleased TomTom has gone this route instead of the usual "snap in" type. And then we have the suction cup! It is awesome! Depending on your vehicle - this will safely and securely adhere to your dashboard. But it will ALWAYS adhere to your windshield like you wouldn't believe. And it will not come off if you hit bumps in the road!!
Returning from a 400mi round trip excursion today, the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS performed extraordinarily well. It even knows where the gas stations are (and the gas prices!). Another thing that I am overly impressed by is the speedometer. It is a mirror of what my vehicle reports at any moment in time. I find this to be a safety feature as my eyes do not need to scan additional areas, when it is all concise in the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS.
Traffic and re-routing are accurate and instant. I had a much older model and was impressed by the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS performance in this regard.
It seems as if the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS "has your back". When planning a trip, it gives you multiple options. Even during the trip, if it notices there is a delay ahead, it will route you around it.
There are also voice commands, which I have unfortunately yet been able to play with. But the general feeling one gets from a TomTom and, especially this model, is that it has your back, that it will get you to your destination, and it will guide the way if you are lost.
You can ask much more from a GPS device. I would recommend the TomTom - GO Discover 7" GPS to anyone that DRIVES A CAR!

Esports has a new apex predator. As successor to the award-winning Razer Viper Ultimate, our latest evolution is nearly 22% lighter and armed with all-round upgrades for enhanced performance. With one of the lightest wireless gaming mice ever, there’s now nothing holding you back.
Posted by: MemphisTechieRN
Gaming mice. These days they are a dime a dozen, each with their own gimmick, but ultimately all attempting to achieve the same goal. Does the Razer - Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse do it?
59g. Fifty-Nine-Grams. Think about that for a second. A handful of standard paper clips weigh more. The Razer - Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse (Officially I do believe) the lightest gaming mouse out there.
Opening the box we get some cool stickers, some grip tape for the mouse, usb a - c charging cord (including the usb 2.4ghz receiver), and the mouse itself. This no-frills approach continues.
The Razer - Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse itself is devoid of the trillions of buttons Razer, and other companies had gamers grown accustomed to. For that I say - it's about time! Personally, when gaming I never need more than what is offered here. The standard mouse buttons, and two extras off to the left side. Muscle memory should be for the keyboard (ok, I'm old-school).
The Razer - Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse feels right at home in my large hand. It glides effortlessly over a standard wooden desk, a mouse pad, or a glass desk (finally!). That has always been a pet-peeve of mine. When I'm gaming at my glass desk, I don't want a mousepad getting in the way. And only a handful of professional mice were up to that task.
There is no delay at all when using the 2.4ghz receiver.
It is, finally, the responsiveness of a premium wired gaming mouse in a wireless mouse that is as light as can be. But, sturdy and tough at the same time. Fifty-nine grams is all it takes.
Whether you are a serious tourney gamer, a casual gamer, or heck even just are in need of a new mouse, the Razer - Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse is for you.

Posted by: MemphisTechieRN
from Bartlett, TN
Sennheiser is a name that is synonymous with high-end, high-quality audio devices. Say their name in a group of audiophile friends, and you will get their full attention. Do the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds deliver the high-end sound and luxurious design consumers have been accustomed to?
I must admit, I've always been "that guy" that poked fun at those using the wireless cell phone devices of ol'. I mean how could you not? They walk around in public seemingly talking to themselves. I told myself "I'll never be one of THOSE people".
Uh oh... I'm now one of those people. Thanks, Sennheiser!
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds come with everything you need to get started. They have generously included 4 pairs of various sized cups (1 installed, 3 pairs included) and "Fins" that help keep them in place. Also included in a USB-C --> USB-C charging cable. The canvas-wrapped charging case screams "look at me, I'm awesome" in a very polite manner.
The buds themselves reminded me of casino dice. Slightly smaller in dimension, but that's the shape. They stand out from the other "True Wireless" buds out there. However, this design decision in no way seems to cause any fitment issues or wear fatigue.
The star of the show of course is the famous Sennheiser sound. And the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds do not disappoint in that department. I did note a slight lacking in the high end of the sound frequency spectrum. This however was using them "non-tweaked". More about that later.
Pairing was a breeze. The instructions stated to do a quick charge before pairing. In no time I was connected to my S21+.
The microphone quality, in my opinion, is in a league of its own. My wife got a random phone call at work (she LOVES those) where her first remark was "You must have a great connection because your voice sounds crystal clear". That statement in itself gives credence to the quality of the mics in the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless buds. As usually, when on calls, my phone-bearing hand wanders to where the phone-mic is moving all around wreaking havoc on the end listeners' experience. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless microphone does seem to pick up a little bit of background noise. So, keep that in mind if you multi-task when talking.
Again, audio quality is the star of the show with any Sennheiser product. Paired with my S21+, listening to Spotify and Amazon Music was a completely new experience. And this was using the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds prior to installing the app or any tweaks (more later on that). Listening to Roger Waters' "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" there are elements in the audio mix that I never noticed prior to listening with the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds. Mids are the standout as they are robust. The bass is punchy. Highs are muted slightly. Clapton’s guitar sounds like it is in the room with you (I know I know, the "in the room with you" description is overused but it is the perfect descriptor here).
And holy cow! Listening to music with the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds’ active noise-canceling technology is a whole other experience! I never knew how much the air-conditioner interfered with music. But when the wife comes home, one tap on the left earbud turns on "Environmental mode" which effectively turns off the noise canceling.
Since I had paired the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds prior to installing the app, this seemed to cause an issue with the app connecting to them. It took a little "Tech Magic" to fix this. So, my suggestion would be to install the app and have it ready prior to pairing.
The app gives you a standard 3 band equalizer. This provided the ability to create PERFECT sound by bumping up the high range of the spectrum by 3dB. As noted above, using the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds without the app, the highs seemed to be somewhat muted... Well, the app fixed that completely!
Also in the app is a neat function called "Soundcheck" that offers you custom EQ presets. I thought this was a nifty addition.
Now we enter into "game-changing territory". But would we expect anything different from Sennheiser? Sound Zones allow you to create... well... zones that are tracked by GPS. The magic here is that say, for instance, you wanted specific settings at work (heh heh), the gym, or at home - Sound Zones give you that opportunity. You get to customize twenty such zones. So, what does that mean? It means a true "Set it and forget it" functionality. As soon as you arrive at your pre-set zone - BAM - the settings are changed. This single-function alone blows my mind.
Now you must be asking about battery performance? A full charge will give you a solid 5 hours at any volume. Impressive when you consider that the case provides an additional three further charges when you have that topped up. Throw the buds into the case for about 10-15 minutes when they are drained, and you will get about 70 minutes of charge! Awesome-Sauce!
In conclusion, while the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds may totally be out of reach to some due to their hefty price, I truly feel they are worth it and more. To find a pair of TRUE wireless earbuds with TRUE premium sound, with all the accessories you could need included, along with an app that isn't --- well, cr@p, and be truly comfortable all the while never falling out - you have a winner with the Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless earbuds. Sennheiser did it again.
If you can get them - GET THEM!

Most people, when shopping for a smart/fit watch don't expect to find one that is stylish, modern and elegant. Most look very utilitarian with no personality or character. This is what sets apart the Withings Horizon ScanWatch with the competition.
I was taken aback when I first saw the Withings Horizon ScanWatch in person. To say that it is stylish and modern is an understatement! The Withings Horizon ScanWatch would fit in your wardrobe for any upscale event. Or, even a trip to the movie theater (more on that later).
The Withings Horizon ScanWatch that I acquired has a gorgeous emerald green face. What's more, the hands on this beauty glow in the dark! The body and band of the watch are all a silver colored metal.
BUT ALSO included is a black rubber type of band. This band would make the most sense when you are using your Withings Horizon ScanWatch for your daily workouts. A clever spring mechanism holds the bands onto the face making swapping out bands breeze. There are also many other types and colors of bands available at the Withings website. Also included in the box is an awesome mallet and extra links for the metal band, in case you are like me and have a larger wrist, like I do. Adding the links was very easy with the included tool.
Now that we have gone over the "form" it's now time to speak about the function of the Withings Horizon ScanWatch.
BUT ALSO included is a black rubber type of band. This band would make the most sense when you are using your Withings Horizon ScanWatch for your daily workouts.

Now that we have gone over the "form" it's now time to speak about the function of the Withings Horizon ScanWatch.
Now, the first thing to get across is that this isn't a fullscreen/touchscreen display, Instead, all of your vital informaton is displayed in a digital display that is about an inch high, give or take. The Withings Horizon ScanWatch is the perfect companion for an individual who is an athlete, OR simply someone who is wanting to be proactive regarding their overall health.
The Withings Horizon ScanWatch monitors your pulse,but that is just the start! The Withings Horizon ScanWatch also performs ECG's which you can print out, and warns you if there are any abnormalities you should speak to your physician about. In addition, SPo2 levels can be read. Both of these features are worth the price of admission.But yet there is more!
The Withings Horizon ScanWatch can do a FULL EKG "on demad" if you so desir. The best part? No extra equipment is required for these features. All you have to do is place your hand in a "C" type shape around the Withings Horizon ScanWatch head, and then you are "cookng with gas!!!"
One of my favorite features is that you can sync it to your phone, and preview text messages on it. This feature of the Withings Horizon ScanWatch has saved my butt quite a few times when using a smat-phone would have been inappropriate.
All in all, the Withings Horizon ScanWatch could very well be considered top of the line when we are talking mid-tier watches (Rolex is high Tier)o
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy on the eyes - not so much on the ears

While I admit I was not alive during the first wave of vinyl popularity, I did catch the tail end and am now lucky to be around to experience the unexpected second *massive* wave of interest in Vinyl.
Have our ears collectively gotten tired of the sterile digital mediums and now long for the warm analog sounds of yesteryear? Perhaps. And There are many brands of turntables to choose from.

This brings us to the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System. First I have to mention what a massive box this came in! It is obvious Victrola have taken great care in making sure this system gets to you without a scratch on it. I know it's important to alot of people. It is to me.
Unboxing the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System - I immediately gasped. I was instantly transformed back to my childhood as I gazed at the beauty of what was in front of me. it is apparent that Victrola wanted this system to not just look good, but spectacular. The deep espresso finish on the system instantly makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Everything is solid, you can tell it is quality and meant to last, unlike other systems. The speakers and turntable have quite the heft. That's not a problem for me as the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System has found a permanent home on my glass-top L-shaped desk.
Assembly was a little more difficult than I expected, but nothing to scare off the average Joe by any means. Very easy to follow instructions are included, and they are miles ahead of some of the others I have seen.
As I already have a "Main" sound system elsewhere utilizing a turntable, I will be testing the sound of the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable as a standalone unit. As I feel it was meant to be. The speakers are powered and there is no need really for a phono amp. The heft of the speakers have raised my expectations a bit as to the sound quality.
To test the sound, I use my trusty copy of "Dark side of the Moon". I have heard that this sonic masterpiece has been used thru the decades to test audio systems, and I have done so on different mediums already.
My initial high hopes for sonic excellence were squashed when the record began with the heartbeat. What is meant to be a rich, full booming sound is left sounding a bit dull. It doesn't sound horrible - don't get me wrong. But it doesn't sound as good as I was hoping the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System would sound. It is definitely not the fault of the record, as I tested out a few others. Highs are muted and mids slightly muffled. But the good news is the above is said with the expectation of an audiophile sound quality. So my "muffled, muted, dullness" is STILL light years AHEAD of big box brand "all in one systems". And after a few spins of more titles from my rather eclectic collection of vinyl I actually started to become fond of the sound output of the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System.
All in all I am very happy with the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System. It looks like a work of art, and after getting used to it - it sounds pretty darned good also.
If you are jumping on the "Second Wave" of vinyl's popularity, do yourself a favor and get the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System. Your eyes and ears will thank you.

Long beard, medium, or short, Panasonic GB96-K Mens Beard Trimmer makes it easy for everyone from beginners to the more experienced to achieve barber-quality hair, beard and mustache trimmer styling at home.

Four included comb attachments work the quick-adjust dial to provide up to 58 trim length settings from 0.5MM (with no attachment) to 30MM, to create the style and length you want while the 5mm-wide detail attachment provides precise trimming and control. The Panasonic GB96-k beard clipper has an IPX7 rating and waterproof design so you can trim in the shower or dry anytime.

For those who are OCD about their beards
on April 30, 2022

Age:35-44
Gender:Male
I admit it, I am what some would consider "OCD" about my beard. It has to have perfect lines. A single hair out of place makes me break out in a cold sweat. Yep, I'm a weirdo. Previous products to trim my beard would leave me having to either go back and doing it manually (with a straight razor), or with tweezers. Length continuity is also very important to me. I took the time to grow it, so it should be able to be displayed in all of its majestic glory.
In comes the Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer. WOW.
That was the first thought upon un-boxing the Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer. It looks great and feels great in my hand.
The Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer feels very solid but not too heavy. Nothing about it feels cheap, or like it will fall apart in your hand at any moment like other brands' trimmers. The included accessories also are of very high quality and I have no doubt in regards to their longevity.

So what all comes with the Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer? You get three "Long hair" beard comb attachments that actually *STAY ON THE TRIMMER*!! - along with another detailing attachment (which makes my Beard OCD very happy).
Operation of the Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer could not be any simpler, just dial up your desired length from the 58 (Yes, I said FIFTY-EIGHT) available length settings (from 1-30mm) or if you get the "ultimatum" from your girlfriend/wife - take off all the attachments and zero out the dial - leaving you with a very close 0.5mm "bye bye beard" setting. I constantly shave my head (since covid) and this setting has helped me with that task as well.
Unlike my old trimmer, the Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer does not feel like it is tearing out my whiskers when I trim my beard. Instead it gives me a sensation that I have never had before. That being, I am using a precision trimming device!
I appreciate the fact that this is a wet/dry trimmer. However, I do not utilize it when my beard is wet as I feel like a more accurate trim (in general) is obtained when my beard is dry. However, the ability to use it wet may be for *cough* other areas (???) possibly, maybe.
Battery life is fantastic at just about an hour constantly run. I have my Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer on my vanity in the master-bath, so it is a constant fixture, always plugged in. But, I am glad when traveling I have the peace of mind knowing it will have enough "juice" to get the job done.
All in all, I am very pleased with the Panasonic ER-GB96-K trimmer. It is part of my daily routine and it should be part of yours too!

Essential for complete dental hygiene
on April 18, 2022
Posted by: MemphisTechieRN
from Bartlett, TN
Many years ago I had a competing brand's product but it was quickly put back into the cabinet under the sink, never to be heard from again. It was loud, messy, and difficult to use.
In comes the Phillips Sonicare Power Flosser 7000. I had some reservations before using it due to my previous experience. Were my fears warranted?
The Phillips Sonicare Power Flosser is a self-contained unit (other than the storage case for the attachments) and this is something that I truly appreciate very much in such a product. There is nothing worse than a crucial part becoming missing. Good on you Phillips!
The Sonicare Power Flosser itself is very sleek and will fit into any bathroom decor with its simple white color and rounded high-tech-looking parts and buttons.
Before using the Sonicare Power Flosser 7000, I used regular ol' floss to get the job done. I thought that was sufficient. Boy, was I wrong!
This baby is powerful enough to shoot free stubborn pieces of Barbecue Ribs caught in/in-between teeth effortlessly and gentle enough not to disturb my dental work consisting of multiple crowns and veneers.
The criss-cross quad stream head, I do believe is the secret to the effortless nature that the Sonicare Power Flosser 7000 breezes through all of these dental assignments. The product from the "usual suspects" generally just shoots a single stream of water. While that may be slightly effective for some uses, it doesn't do what the Sonicare Power Flosser does! Plaque and other debris are no problem.
I appreciate that the handle neatly and securely affixes to the product via a magnet. This looks better and saves counter space. The same with the cord/hose. Everything has its "place" and nothing gets in the way. So much better than other products I have tried!
When using the Sonicare Power Flosser 7000, you will be given a gentle nudge to move on to the next section of teeth. This to me is super cool.
The functionality couldn't be simpler, choose a mode, and strength - and insert your desired attachment - and you are good to go!

I appreciate the dial on the Sonicare Power Flosser because it lets me "dial-up" the force for when I need to blast annoying stuck food particles away and dial it down when I am cleansing around delicate dental work.
I know it is not recommended generally to use anything but water in the massive tank (which I found to be more than sufficient in that it didn't run out even when I was doing a super clean) but I found that adding a splash of alcohol-free mouthwash to the tank (which Phillips Sonicare makes, just google it) gives an extra freshening boost. You can obviously use any brand of mouthwash. But I prefer the above as it tastes/feels exactly like the kind my dentist uses.
The Sonicare Power Flosser 7000 has become a part of my daily dental hygiene ritual. Not only does it work a million times better than that competing product (that is still under the sink), but I feel it does a much better job than manual flossing.
If you want the confidence of having cleaner teeth, and the peace of mind that you are doing your part to fight the gum disease known as gingivitis (dun dun DUNNNNN) the Sonicare Power Flosser 7000 is for you.
I truly believe the Sonicare Power Flosser 7000 should be in every bathroom worldwide! That's how impressed I am with it!

I have Apple tv 4th Gen which is NOT a 4K device. I just bought this tv which replaced my old HDTV. I do not see any difference in picture quality (from my old tv as compared with this Sharp 4K tv). Is this because of the fact my apple tv is not 4K?
Yes.
You can't get 4k resolution from devices that don't output 4k.
So of course, the quality will be the same as your old tv - unless you get a device that outputs in 4k.

I have been reading the comments by other customers. I just picked up the tv & found out this thing doesn’t have a web browser. How do I download one if that is possible??
You can download the web browser via the TV's included app store. I just did the other day. It's pretty cool as it renders the sites exactly (and as quickly) as a browser on a laptop.

Do NOT buy this SHARP I got one in Nov and it glitched a lot one day my 5 year old was watching and it froze She taped the screen with the remote and the screen cracked Sharp doesn't make replacement screens Best buy protection won't cover it i'm screwed
Tap + 5yr old = threw remote at the screen like an MLB player? Perhaps.
Pretty sure best buy protection wouldn't cover intentional damage like this for any item. To say this is an issue with the Sharp brand is quite the stretch.

Jump-start your productivity with this Asus convertible notebook. It functions as a laptop and a tablet, and the powerful Intel Core i5 processor increases efficiency. The backlit keyboard and palm rest provide comfortable operation. Activate your Asus convertible notebook with the two-second instant-on feature to quickly get back to doing what you love.
If I attach an external CD Drive, can I copy/burn something onto a disk? Thanks.
Yes, if it can be installed on another windows 10 device, it can be installed here. You will need to get a USB-A to USB-C adapter as there are no "regular" usb ports. Just usb-c.

Storage is expandable. This tablet is a fail? Far from it. I'm enjoying mine. Sadly it is already back-ordered on most sites. So perhaps this is just a case of sour-grapes on your part, or you are a MaC fan, OR you just couldn't afford this and had nothing positive to contribute. For everyone else, this tablet is AWESOME. It has handled everything I've thrown at it within reason. Obviously it's not meant to play games in full frame rate - but everything else - YEP!
