Love it, very versatile, easy to use and clean.
on July 24, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Really love this air fryer. First time I ever cooked chicken with pineapple and the kids loved it. The recipe is found in the enclosed book. For this recipe, was simple to cook: Set the chicken with spices for 12 minutes, add pineapple with additional ingredients for 3 minutes, last ingredients for additional 3 minutes, and add cook beans or another vegetable as desired (not on recipe book). Serve with rice or other desired side. Very fast and simple to make a quick meal for 5-6 people. I got the bigger size model since I have a big family. The BEST PART that only a bit of oil was required for cooking. My kids and wife loved it. I also tried cooking a ricotta cake and it was simple to do; it tasted like a scone cookie. The included book comes with a few more recipes. You can find more recipes online and even YouTube. Cleaning is not hard to do with the machine; just remove the inner pot and wash with a soft sponge. Don’t use a harsh scrub, you will damage the non-stick coating of the pan. Two of the bottom feet has suctioning cups designed to prevent the machine moving when opening or closing the door. The noise level is moderate, NOT loud as a blender; this does not bother me because feel great I am cooking healthier meals with less oil. My family really loves this multi fryer/cooker because it actually makes meals for us. Most importantly, my wife loves it. Happy wife, happy life!

Like all the options
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This Ninja Coffeemaker is perfect! My wife loves to drink coffee and she usually drinks two or more cups per day. She loves all the features and options that this machine provides. 1) Number one option is that she can make 1 cup for herself or a few if more people are drinking. When doing for one person there is the option of just using a cup or insulated container. This is great because you do not have to buy expensive pods like the Keurig coffee maker. 2) I have three kids love Ice Coffee so this machine does an excellent job to make sure the coffee does not come out watery. All they need is flavored syrup with non-dairy creamer. 3) Very important is the taste and my wife is a professional coffee drinker. She can tell when the coffee is not fresh when it is preheated in the microwave, and the flavor. I can’t taste the difference. She said the older coffee maker the coffee had burned flavor. This coffee tasted very good from the Ninja. And (0ther points) The water reservoir container is easy to remove, fill and insert into the machine. It is very easy to clean and with clear instruction label located behind the machine. It looks like it does a good job of cleaning itself. The process takes 60 minutes to complete. My wife loves this Ninja coffee maker. Happy Wife… Happy Life.

Great Wi-Fi hub
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The Samsung Connect is the best hub because you can connect many devices, giving you control and automation of your home via Samsung’s Connect App. I tried another hub in the past of other brands, but none had the technology of connecting your gadgets. This is great because it is like getting two in one, extending wife throughout your home with fast speed and simple device connection.
Design: It is great that these devices are small compact size that can be placed in view or out of view in any room. The plug is a good size and not bulky like other devices/ hubs. I had another device which the plug was very big (2.75 in x 2.75 in), that it prevented me from plugging other devices to adjacent outlets. Normally, the size of a plug is not usually considered in the purchase decision process.
Connected devices: After signing in into your Samsung account, I added another device, my Samsung POWERbot. Once it is connected, it is easy to control your robot. My wife loves her POWERbot and now with this smart hub, she now has more control, even when away from home. Happy wife, happy life! I am in the plan of getting more devices which can connect to the hub. For example, I travel a lot and when I leave home I adjust the thermostat manually to save on my electric bill and now it is easier to install a smart thermostat.
Connection Speed: I live in a two-floor house with 4 rooms, one entertainment room and large living room (2500 SQ feet). All my kids study online, and having a good connection in their room is a must have in my house. The speed and range of this three hub are great. I get a full bar on over 90 of my house. They do a great job.
Setup is very easy, instructions come in a 14 in a square card. 1) Download Samsung Connect app, 2/3) Connect Ethernet and plug, 4) Open the app, 5) then follow the instruction on the app.
This Samsung Connect Home 3-Pack is in the direction of making any home a smart home. Love it. Love Samsung.

This is more than just a speaker - it's a journey. Starting from the very basic elements of sound and speakers, your children will build a deeper understanding as they move toward assembling their Speaker Cube. At every step, exploration is encouraged and curiosity is rewarded.

Awesome product for young kids
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
My 4th grader built this speaker by himself. It works and looks awesome. All I did for him was install the iTunes apps and he did the rest. An iTunes app is required to set it up but once built it can be used with non-Apple devices. It is really easy and works well for any age. It takes approximately 30 minutes to build and setup. What my son learned: "When you put a coiled around a magnet and you charged it, it makes music." The cover designs can be changed and the color changing feature is pretty. The app allows many more features with the speaker, such as the pitch and color changing patterns. It has a max volume setting control.
He is happy with this new speaker.

Awesome Samsung Device
on June 15, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The Samsung POWERbot R7070 Robotic Vacuum is latest tech device at my house and everyone comments that it is awesome.
My ten-year-old boy likes to use the manual control option to drive it around the house. He also helped me set it up with no issue. One of his chores was to sweep the floor, now he will enjoy doing it with the POWERbot. It does a great job at with corners and edges. The canister comes out very easily for cleaning and it is washable. It is not noisy and works great when programmed with the Samsung app. It works well in the kitchen, living room and bedroom. It has an excellent sensor because it has not knocked down anything or gotten stuck. It goes under the chairs and tables without any issues. It is fun to watch it go through the room like if it is going through obstacles.
I recommend this device to all my family and friends who would like to arrive at a clean home. All my kids enjoy the device so much that they even gave her a name, GABY. It's like have a pet. My wife is very happy with this product, especially that it actually cleans underneath the couch and beds. Happy wife, happy life!

Excellent for small children
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I highly recommend these headphones for small children for various features.
1) The volume has a regulation limit that is not going to blow out eardrum or be very uncomfortable for small children to listen to.
2) The size is perfect for small children but will not recommend for children 9 or over. Two of my boys tried the headphones, one is 10 year and the other is 6 years old. The 10-year-old mentioned that they are a little tight for him.
3) The jack connection is not straight it somewhat an L-shaped. For kids usage, I prefer it this way because of the advantage of the L-shaped jack is that it is less likely that it may snap or bend and damage the device aux when it is in a pocket or while using it.
4) The kids loved the feature of changing the design on the sides of the headphones.
5) They are comfortable enough to be used for hours.
6) They are good quality because of its strong plastic and they should last a long time with normal kid use.
In summary, I think these are the perfect set of headphones for small children. Excellent design, durable, safe features, and comfortable to use.

Replace the keyboard of your Microsoft Surface Pro 7, 6, 5 or 4 with this silver Brydge keyboard. It conveniently lets you open the screen at your preferred viewing angle without a kickstand, and its backlit keys increase visibility in low light working environments. This Brydge keyboard is lightweight, so it doesn't add extra bulk to your device.

Best product you can buy
on May 22, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
My first time using a wireless keyboard for Microsoft device and I can say that I am greatly satisfied with this Brydge wireless keyboard. It looks and feels like it is well made and solid. It holds secure tight and there is no fear of device falling off from the keyboard. It is safe to use on Microsoft SP3/4. The metal hinges move smoothly without any issue and it allows multiple of angles of setup. The keyboard is like normal size keys and they feel comfortable for typing and mouse pad very responsive. Pairing was fast and easy with no issue with Bluetooth connection. Again, I am very pleased with this product and if I ever need another wireless keyboard, I will definitely get a Brydge brand.

Listen to music hands-free with this LG wireless headset. It lets you answer or ignore a call with voice commands, and the wireless earbuds charge when they're resting inside the neckband, ensuring they're ready for use. The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.

Best Wireless Earbuds
on May 22, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Personally I like this earbuds because it is lightweight, great sound quality and battery life.
They are very easy to pair with my Samsung On5 phone; when you have them on your ear it lets you know if they are paired. They are very comfortable to wear because they are lightweight. They are great to carry and small enough to store away in any bag. I did not have a problem with the earbuds staying in my ears; other buds usually come off easily, but not this pair. These actually stay in your ears. holds charge for all my talk time of my most busiest days. The sound is really great. It is fast, clear with good bass. This product was intended for my use, but it has been my wife who uses it the most. I will give these to her for her use. My summary of my review: Happy Wife = Happy Life.

This Oral-B Pro 6000 electric toothbrush with Bluetooth allows the brush to connect with your smartphone to give you real-time feedback on your brushing habits. The advanced design of the CrossAction toothbrush head surrounds each tooth with bristles angled at 16 degrees, and 3D cleaning action oscillates, rotates, and pulsates to break up and remove more plaque. The pressure sensor lights up, if you brush too hard to prevent harmful over-brushing and there are 5 modes and a timer to help you brush for a dentist-recommended time.

Super good
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This product is perfect for when dentist recommends spin toothbrush. My wife’s gum was pulling away from her teeth which made them very sensitive. Her dentist recommended a spin brush instead of manual or non spinbrush. The reason why is that the back and forth movement of the other brushes were peeling way her gum from the teeth. The Oral B Pro 6000 is the perfect recommended toothbrush for dental issues. Before this brush, my family were using battery operated brushes and gave okay results. Now we have a new tool for oral care.
The quality and appearance is very nice and the features of portability pouch make it very convenient for home and travel use. The best feature is having the option to have different spin mode setting; Daily Clean, Sensitive, Gum care, Whitening, and Pro-Clean. For the above issue of my wife's teeth, it is awesome that the setting can be changed for different teeth sensitivity. My wife’s front teeth are more sensitive, this brush allows the adjustment as necessary. She is amazed about the how good this brush cleans her teeth. She loves her new toothbrush. This sums up my review: Happy Wife = Happy Life.

Impressive machine
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This a definite must have machine for carpet and upholstery cleaner. Renting a the store machine is a bit complicated if you want to clean a lot of items in one day to avoid paying double. For example I wanted to clean in one day my carpets, dining room seats, car seats, or other fabrics. This cleaner comes with every needed to start cleaning; it has accessories such a two different hand held brushes (one regular and one for when there is pet hair), a cup to measure liquid and two sample bottle of Bissell liquid cleaner.
This machine requires a quick and easy assembly which only requires a phillips screwdriver to secure the handle to the machine. Then attached the water + solution tank to the unit. I used warm water to help ease the cleaning.
My first use of this machine was the dirtiest item in my list, my car seats. I got my car in 2006 and the upholstery and carpet are gray/black color. The dark colors camouflage the stains left behind my kids which spilled a lot of drinks through 10 years of road trips we had in this vehicle. For this job, my wife and I were very pleased by how good this machine was able to remove the stain from the seat. The car now smells nice and the seat look very clean. I had to do a few applications because the kids did a good job at spilling a look of drink on their seat. I have included a few before and after pictures. My son was suprised how the Bissell machine was removing spills from his seat that even he joined the cleaning. You can see his hand on one of the images.
Right after finishing the car I jump to the next item on my list, the dining room chairs. These weren’t as bad as the car seat. The Bissell unit, again, did a great job in cleaning upholstery. My was very please that we did the entrance rug and the machine also did a good job. The great thing about this is that we can continue the list another day without spending more money on a rental item. With the rental unit, we would be pressure to do it fast to avoid more than one day rental. I think we did a better job with our Bissell because we took our time. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone who would like to have better looking upholtery.

Can the key caps be switched out with other key caps

From Steelseries site:
What aftermarket keycaps will work with Apex 5? The SteelSeries Hybrid Mechanical Switches feature MX compatible stems, so most aftermarket keycaps will work. Additionally, the Apex 5 features a “standard” bottom row spacing for even greater compatibility. Be sure to check the specifications carefully before you purchase any replacement keycaps.
