Seriously high-end shaver - smooth and quiet!

Review for
Philips Norelco - Norelco S9000 Qi-Charge Wet/Dry Electric Shaver - Light Brushed Chrome
The price says premium, but you have to try it to appreciate the best electric shave you've ever had!
It’s light, it’s quiet, and it shaves so smooth. The wireless Qi charger is great; no plugs or cords to attach/detach. The LED display tells you remaining charge. (I’ve been using it for a week and it goes down about 8% per shave; that’s a nice long time between charges!) Indicators also remind you to rinse the blades and let you know if they’re clogged or need replacing.
I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to a blade shave.
Did I mention how quiet it is?

Embellish your device with a functional attachment by using this black Speck GrabTab phone accessory. It’s compatible with most brands and cases, and the card-sized, flat design slips smoothly into your pocket. Use the hanging loop on this Speck GrabTab phone accessory as a grip for a secure hold or as a kickstand for hands-free viewing.

Review for
Speck - GrabTab Finger Grip/Kickstand for Mobile Phones - Black
This little attachment is so great, whether you have a larger phone that's hard to hang on to, or your grip just isn’t what it use to be.
The finger grip feature gives you security when holding the phone while being active. The opening is large enough for almost any finger.
I don’t prop my phone up much, but the kickstand feature works well if you do.
I took away one star because the finger grip can be hard to slide into place.

HyperIce - Vyper 2.0 Vibrating Fitness Roller - Black
HyperIce - Vyper 2.0 Vibrating Fitness Roller - Black
This is not your average fitness roller. Originally designed for elite athletes, it seemed like a great idea for an older guy who has back, knee, and foot pain.
I was right! Although pricey, this roller makes an amazing difference for soreness from exercise or something more age-related, like arthritis. The documentation lists a number of medical conditions that are NOT appropriate for this roller, so check that out!
The power of the vibration cannot be overstated. When I used it in the living room, I could hear the floor and walls shaking. This is both the reason that the roller provides so much relief and also why you need to be able to support yourself during its use.
The vibration is powered by advanced circuitry and a lithium-ion battery that provides two hours of vibration at the high setting; more at lower settings! It’s easy to charge and has simple controls for on/off. A button in the center of the other end toggles through off, low, medium, and high vibration. Indicator lights make it easy to check on the battery charge remaining.
A quality piece of equipment to add to your workout regimen, for sure, but also relief from everyday aches and pains!

Insignia™ - NS-HAWHP2 Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black
Insignia™ - NS-HAWHP2 Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black
These headphones are great if you want to watch TV without disturbing others. Better yet, they’re great for exercising in front of the TV while still being able to hear it without blasting the volume.
I like that they have multiple means for connecting to various systems. If you have a digital audio out available, that is the best, but the cable is not included. If you have a headphones out (1/8” jack) there is an included cable for that, as well as a standard red/white RCA cable.
If you have a home stereo system connected, you can also daisy-chain this unit (you’ll need an extra set of RCA cables) so that you can choose whether to listen through the headphones or the stereo system without rewiring each time.
Set up, docking, and pairing on these headphones is pretty easy, but you may not think so if you try to read the instructions included. Insignia only needs to sit 10 people down with the instructions to determine where they could be clearer. They should spend the time on testing their documentation to avoid problems down the line!
These headphones work well for their purpose and I’m happy with them. I dinged one star because the user documentation is so poorly presented.

G-Technology - G-DRIVE Mobile SSD R-Series 500GB External USB 3.1 Gen 2 Portable Solid State Drive - Black/Silver
This little SSD arrives formatted for use by a Mac. So many reviewers here feel this is some kind of failure. Nine out of ten hard drives are formatted initially for Windows and need to be reformatted for use on a Mac. Well, this is the other way around!
That said, this SSD is a marvel. It’s compact, fast (!), and ready to go to back up video, photos, or any large files quickly over its USB-C connection.
It’s rugged and meant to be well-travelled. The outside is cushioned and is specified to withstand falls, dust, and moisture. Although not “waterproof,” it is designed to be used outdoors, so it's perfect for video shoots where extra storage or backup is needed.
The included cables are indeed short — about 5” — but are perfect for connecting to a MacBook.
Best of all, it’s solid state storage (the SS in SSD), so it has no moving parts to break or wear out. This makes it ideal for backup of mission-critical files.

Shark - ION ION W1 Cordless Hand Vac - Graphite
This unit is so well-designed! It’s light, balances nicely in your hand, is powerful, and works great!
The handy release switch lets you empty the dirt cup over the trash with ease. The dirt cup pops out and can be cleaned under running water. The filter, which needs to be rinsed and dried when dirty, is reusable and easy to clean. I like how the unit sits in the charging dock, allowing you to place it anywhere, rather than hang it on a wall.
It comes with two convenient attachments: a crevice tool with a flip-to-use brush for tiny spaces, and a multi-surface pet tool that is great for furniture.
It’s perfect for that those spilled-coffee-grounds, dog-hair, dragged-in dirt kind of moments! It can run continuously for about 10 minutes and needs 2.5 hours to recharge. The blue LED indicator let’s you know when it needs charging, is charging, or is finished charging.

Premiere Elements 2019 - Mac|Windows
This video editing package is great for people just starting out in video with it’s easy to use slideshow and straight-forward drag and drop interface. But it really shines when you start trying to stretch your skills. Its tutorials help you get a leg up on using the more sophisticated features.
I’m not a fan of 20 different types of transitions, any more than I think you should use 20 fonts, just because you have them. I think if you watch tv and movies, you can learn what works and what doesn’t for transitions. That said, Adobe has introduced some new, fresher-looking transitions that can make a well-thought-out edit enjoyable to watch.
Keep in mind, like any editing program with sufficient depth, this package requires a sufficient processor and as much RAM as you can muster, the minimum requirements (64 bit OS, 2 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM) are only for the most basic uses.
This package makes it easy to take your raw footage and turn it into something fun to share on your TV, tablet, or social media.

Streamlabs - Wi-Fi Home Water Monitoring and Leak Detection System
Streamlabs - Wi-Fi Home Water Monitoring and Leak Detection System
That this device works as well as it does is amazing considering it “senses” water flowing though your pipes without any invasive hookup required!
Installation was very simple, with the caveat that it’s essential to have a power outlet nearby. (In my basement, this was not as easy to come by, but once I solved that, the rest was easy.)
It’s important that you *thoroughly* clean the surface of the pipe that comes in contact with the monitor. I made the mistake of wiping it with a cloth. On 40ish year old copper plumbing, that proved to be insufficient. I had to remove the monitor, lightly sand the pipe, and replace the monitor. Using the app, it’s easy to see when the connection is successful because the monitor flashes a double-blink.
Connecting the monitor to wi-fi was a snap and when everything else was set (power and clean pipe), I got instant feedback on my water usage.
Living in an older house, where not once, but twice I’ve had to deal with pipes leaking into the ground because they were not properly installed when the house was built, I’m really looking forward to having a handle on my water usage with this monitor!

This is a great smoothie maker for an apartment or any kitchen with limited counter space.
I leave this out on the counter and use it frequently; it’s not as big as a blender and more convenient with it’s two drink containers (18 and 24 oz.). It’s easy to make a smoothie in the morning with fruit, yogurt and ice, blend it up, and swap out the blade and cover for a “Sip and Seal” lid!
This unit has great power and makes a really smooth smoothie with no ice chips. It blends fast and is easy to clean up.

Dell - S2719NX 27" IPS LED FHD Monitor - Black/Silver
This monitor works great! Easy to unbox and assemble in minutes. Biggest surprise: how nice and bright it is. I’m replacing a smaller, older model, so this might be the new normal, but everything on this monitor looks bright and clear.
The small, but sturdy stand is great on the desktop - puts the monitor at a perfect height. Plus, the easy tilt makes for perfect fine tuning of viewing angle.
The exceptionally small (1/4”) bezel all around maximizes the screen space.
Great for watching videos, and for me -- producing them!
