I have had chargers similar to this in the past but nothing this powerful.
This charger has fold away plugs and plugs straight into the wall or surge (good or bad depending on your situation). It is convenient to carry because it's all one block, but it is a large block to plug into the wall.
Size aside, it functions perfectly. I was able to fast charge an HP Envy x360 2in1. Google Pixel 3, Moto Z Force, or Samsung S10 without a problem. It would fast charge all devices even with all 3 plugs being used.
The build quality seems top notch and it is a nice white case that looks clean plugged into the wall.
I would definitely recommend this charger is you have need multiple devices charging at once.

The Brother MFC-J6545DW printer is great for my home office. It scans beautifully, prints well and while I haven't used it, I'm sure the fax would work well (I've never had a Brother Multifunction fax not work well in the past).
The scanner works very smoothly. The software provided is easy to use and gives a good amount of control over settings. The ADF is nice and can scan up to 11" wide which is very convenient.
The printer is nice and clear. It is about the average sound level compared to other MFC devices I've had. It prints Letter size documents very quickly as it can print them in landscape orientation since it is large format. The pictures I've printed have all turned out great. It handled large print files smoothly, just took a couple minutes to transmit over WiFi.
This printer has a lower paper tray and also a vertical paper feed in the back. You can program each to a paper size so you don't need to swap paper sizes if you only use 2, and the printer will automatically select the correct tray.
The WiFi setup was smooth as could be and connected in less than a minute. The printer updated firmware easily once online. The controls on the printer are nicely laid out. The screen is bright and the whole control panel swivels up and down to adjust for the height you have the printer setting at. The ink is easy to install and access on the front right of the printer. I haven't had a paper jam yet in either the printer or scanner but the access panels are easy to open and seem nicely positioned to quickly and completely clear paper if it were to jam.
The only thing to keep in mind is this is a Ledger size printer. I have it sitting next to an HP4000TN laserjet duplex printer and this is the same depth and 8 inches wider. Fully opened up this printer takes up about a 24" x 24" footprint.
I would definitely recommend this printer.

I received the Marshall Minor II bluetooth earbuds as a promotion. They are great sounding earbuds and the design looks great. I use my earbuds in everything from lounging to exercising to construction work.
Pros:
- The sound is great. The treble is clear and bass hits amazingly hard for the size of these.
- Battery life is at least 12 hrs as claimed. I used over several days at least 5 hrs a day before I had to recharge.
- Good weight and stay in ear very well, they never fell out no matter what I was doing.
- Earbuds look very nice with black and gold contrast.
- The length of the cord is prefect to wrap around neck. It doesn't get tangled or caught on anything.
- Comes with a nice MicroUSB cord for charging and packaging is very professional, secure and easy to open.

Cons:
- Range is not as good as expected with how good everything else was. It would start skipping if I walked about 20 feet away from my phone. Most other Bluetooth devices won't start skipping until around 40 feet from my phone.
- Earbuds don't give you a notification they have disconnected from a device, they do play a tune when it reconnects. Hopefully this is something they can fix with an update.

Other considerations are the earbuds don't block out much ambient noise. I had a pair that blocked out almost everything and it's nice having these for the right situations. I could have a conversation with these and hear what is going on around me.
Also this is a personal thing (most earbuds aren't completely comfortable in my ear) but the cord coming out of the earbud is a little to far inboard, I would have to adjusted every so often so my ear wouldn't start to get irritated.

Overall these are a great earbud for a good price and feel like they will last a long time. I would definitely recommend.

This phone is everything I expected when I was looking forward to it coming out. I delayed my update for 8 mo waiting for the newest Motorola phone and I'm very glad I did. I've had Moto for the last 4 phones and don't regret any of them. This one is far better than any of my family and friends Samsung, Apples or LG phones.
I'm a very heavy user of the phone with multiple emails checking every 5 minutes as well as internet, social and calls. I've never had a phone last more than 18 hours, even brand new phones rated for 48 hours). The main battery and Incipio battery pack last me 2 days between charges.
The phone is very tough. I do remodeling and it has already hit the floor a number of times, been closed in the toolbox hinge of my truck and just generally knocked around. The only mark on the phone is a tiny little nick up by the top speaker that is not even noticeable but from an angle in the sun. The 'unbreakable' screen has held up so far and hopefully continues, as it would not be the first broken one I'd have.
My only gripe about the phone is how big they keep getting. I have very large hands and can use it with only one but not easily like my last phone. It's not a problem with the phone, just the thought process that 'premium' phones have the be as large as possible.
Overall I love the phone, can't wait to see what other mods they come out with, and just hope they catch on to bring the shakeup in cell phones that's long overdue.

Got this for free with the Droid Force pre-order. I don't know that I would pay $80 for it over the other bluetooth options that are out there but it is a very nice speaker and if you don't want something else to have to carry its perfect.
The sound is good for the size and thickness. It's a great improvement to the integrated speakers. It's definitely loud enough for most situations and not draining the phone battery nice is a plus.

Add battery life to your Moto Z automatically with this Motorola Incipio offGRID power pack. Snap it onto your phone to increase battery life by 20 percent when you need it most. This Motorola Incipio offGRID power pack is lightweight, and its slim, lightweight design lets you continue to use your phone as you normally would.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this for a Droid Force and it works perfectly. Combined with the main battery I can get 2 days of use out of the phone, I've never even gotten 24 hours before with brand new phones.
The wireless charging is very convenient and I would never buy one without it. With the wireless you can charge the pack by itself while still using the phone.
It honestly makes it easier to hold the phone with it on as it has a nice textured back and it's barely thicker with it snapped on than my old Maxx with a thin case.
I would highly recommend this even just as an alternative to a battery bank and will probably buy a few more.

It's a good keyboard for the money. The range is not bad, not as many shortcut keys as I would like but it was inexpensive so I can't complain.
It gets the job done.

Josh454's Answers
The Shark EZ Robot is your easy path to a smart clean. It combines the convenience of a self-empty base with powerful Shark suction for a complete home clean. After each cleaning session, your robot automatically empties itself into the bagless self-empty base, which holds multiple sessions’ worth of dirt and debris so you can forget about vacuuming for weeks. Now that’s easy.
Is this robot smart enough not to fall down stairs
Yes it will not fall down stairs. There are a couple warnings in the manual about not having carpet runners at the top of wood stairs and such where apparently the robot can get confused and risk falling. But I have not had a problem, it cleans up the the edge of steps on hard surfaces and does not risk falling.

Does this have a home mapping and room by room cleaning feature?
It seems to map the floorplan as it goes but it is not a map you can see, adjust or label. From what I can tell it is stored in the robot and just used to fine tune the cleaning runs.
As for room-by-room cleaning it does not have that feature. It is just whole house cleaning or nothing (unless you can close doors or block the robot with the boundary strips to keep it out of certain areas.

Shark VACMOP Pro cordless hard floor system uses an innovative all-in-one disposable pad to vacuum and lock away debris other pads push around, and to spray mop tough messes. Pick up dry debris, then spray mop, and toss the pad with one click–never touch a dirty pad again! Features LED headlights, charger, 2 disposable pads, and a 12-oz. bottle of Shark VACMOP Multi-Surface Cleaner.
How many times can you use the pad before throwing it away?
Depends on how wet it gets. I've stored them being only slightly wet and it did fine. If it gets saturated I'd throw it out and start fresh. I think when I checked pads were less than $1 so I don't know that it's worth trying to stretch them out to long.

What is a magnetic charger? How long does it hold a charge?
Magnetic charger just means it does not have exposed plugs you have to plug in. There is a wall plug like a phone charger, then the other end of the cord is a small appx 1.5" disk that has a magnet built in. You put that against the back charging area of the vacuum and it automatically sticks to the vacuum and charges without having to 'plug' into the vacuum. The advantage is if you forget to 'unplug' before grabbing the vacuum the disk will just pull off, no harm done.
I can't attest to how long a charge will last. I've used it for over half an hour with spraying and vacuuming and it's not giving any indication it needs charged again. The LED on the front will flash different times to show when it's getting low and needs charged.
Hope this helps.

They recommend you throw it away after every use. The instructions say to store the vacuum without a pad on it. I have stored it for a couple nights with a slightly wet pad and used it again and it did fine. If the pad was overly wet I would dispose of it before letting it sit.

Does this also come with the free upgrade and free activation that Verizon is offering through their website?
I didn't get free activation although it was a better deal if you pre-ordered through Best Buy than VZW. Not sure if it is now that its normal purchase though.

It doesn't mention that the screen is shatterproof like the ones Verizon has, is it? Because that's the main reason I'm interested
All Moto Z Droid Force have unbreakable screen from what I understand.
All Moto Z Droids have normal screens.

Can someone who owns this phone let me know how the screen is outdoors? Is it bright enough to see well outdoors?
I came from a Droid Maxx if that helps but the Moto Z Force has dimmer low and brighter high than that phone does.
I have used it outside fairly often without the screen as bright as it would go and I can see it clearly.
