This toaster is beautiful and very shiny and the perfect size for my kitchen. It may seem like an insignificant feature, but I love that the 6-level adjustable browning control actually clicks in to place when you are choosing what number to toast on. The reheat option is very nice as well.

I LOVE my Jabra Tour. The set-up was a breeze - it took a few minutes to get both an iPhone and an Android phone connected and running. The voice command calling works instantly with both Siri and whatever the voice command thing is on Android phones. I can honestly say that this is the easiest electronic device I have ever had to set up and use. It is possible to use two mobile phones with the Tour.

Once you have your phone connected to the Tour, there are only a few buttons you need to push in order to use it. The buttons are not only very easy to see, but are positioned in such a way that it is easy to push the proper buttons without even looking at the device, which is an obvious plus while driving. The ease of use, however, would be meaningless if the sound quality was not good, but the Tour, in my experience so far, has been excellent on that count. It is possible to listen to music from your phone over the speaker as well, although I have not done that yet.

The Tour's attractive, slimline design makes it very unobtrusive in the car, and you can easily remove it to use anywhere else where you might want to use a speakerphone, including rental cars and inside your home. Since I don't like to keep a cell phone close to my head for long periods of time, I especially like that feature.

The documentation/instruction booklets that come with the Tour don't contain very much information, but there is a URL to an online manual that answered the few questions I had. That is all fine with me since it's easier to pull the manual up on my computer, should I need it, than to keep yet another manual in my file drawer.

PROS:
-- Super easy to set up
-- Super easy to use
-- Great sound quality
-- Easily transportable
-- Great value for the price

CONS: Haven't found any yet.

A little note from experience: You must have Cellular Data turned On in order to access Siri for use of the voice command feature which is essential for hands-free driving. If you have turned it Off, Siri will not be available, and it's impossible (and unsafe) to go through the steps required to turn On your Cellular Data while driving.

I seriously would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone who wants a simple-to-use, inexpensive, hands-free speakerphone for use in a car... or anywhere else. If you want more fuss and a lot of bells and whistles, the Tour is not for you.

I love this little item, so much so that I bought 2. I'm planning to purchase more to give as gifts!

Easy to use, with plenty of great features.

First off, I see a lot of negative reviews about online features being taken away recently. I purchased my Canary after that change, so I can't speak to that. It seems like grandfathering previous users or opening some of the features back up to those folks could go a long way on that front. My review will focus on my experience:

I have owned Nest (Dropcam) cameras for years, so I'm comparing my product experience to those. I decided not to opt for the monthly payment for now, so i can see what all I'll get with no monthly cost first. To me, the options are similar to Nest, and in several areas, better. One exception is the talk-back feature, which is included free with Nest (I have never used it though).

Geo-fencing is great. Between the geo-fencing and the Away history, I have a lot less video to go through to see what's actually happened at the house. The timeline is also more useful here than with Nest, showing me status changes, as well as thumbnails for major events.

Wireless power mode is impressive - now on my fourth day off of my first charge (and i was anxious, so I don't think I even charged it all the way the first time). Curious to see how long it will go. Eventually I may run the power cord to it, but until I'm absolutely sure where it will stay, it's very portable and convenient. I also like the industrial design of this camera more than the other cameras. It looks very minimal, but unique. The magnetic base is very convenient.

On the monitoring side, the iPhone app is easy to use, and very visual. The cards approach to navigation took a few minutes to get used to, but no problem after that. Apple watch notifications are also very handy. I even get a thumbnail of the activity - convenient if I'm in a meeting and just need to see what it is. I would however like to see more functionality here - like being able to change status, start recording, or even view live video if possible right from my watch - but maybe i should just be paying more attention to the meeting I am in! :)

Overall, I'm happy with this camera. I hope Canary can solve the customer satisfaction issues they're currently having with long-time customers, because the actual product and hardware are of great quality. As a new user, I'm very happy with this camera.

I bought this for my wife so she can access the web, use Skype, watch Youtube and go on Facebook. It's intuitive, easy to use and well designed. I'm a Windows geek so Android as always been a bit of a stranger to me. I found this was easy to set up and after getting used to the controls quite easy to use. If you're at all familiar with Android you'll love it.

UPDATE:
After owning it for a little while she's still pleased with it's speed and ease of use. Two things however have been perceived issues:
1. The lack of a flash unit for the camera. To me that's not a big issue as this is generally not my first choice for taking photos. To my wife that's another story.
2. The lack of cellular connectivity. If there is no WiFi available your off the grid.
Overall I find this to be another stellar Samsung product only slightly limited by the above.

Wow - this is great - wish I'd gotten it sooner!

So I had a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tribest-Citristar-Electric-Citrus-Juicer/dp/B000H6V06A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tribest Citristar Electric Citrus Juicer</a>&nbsp;that broke after two years and decided to buy something new. I already have a few Krups items in my kitchen (I really love their&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/KRUPS-BW500-1-8-quart-Electric-Kettle-Stainless-Steel/dp/B003D5KTXM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">KRUPS BW500 1.8 quart Electric Kettle, Stainless Steel</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Krups-F2307051-Egg-Cooker/dp/B00005KIRS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Krups F2307051 Egg Cooker</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Krups-GPA30842-Immersion-Blender-with-Accessories-Black/dp/B004WGQ4RQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Krups GPA30842 Immersion Blender with Accessories, Black</a>) so I decided to go for this one, and I am extremely pleased with this juicer: the design is beautiful, especially the transparent coating on the white base, it gives it a real stylish look and it is easy to clean. The revolving cone (not sure if it is the right term) turns at a very good pace, so fruits get juiced fast. I just have to put the fruit on it and it automatically revolves. The pulp and seed filtration works very well, the juice gets just the right amount of pulp! Finally, the retractable pouring valve is perfect - I can easily pour the right amount of juice in a glass once I am done (instead of having the juice pouring directly into the glass when I'm pressing it, like I had with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tribest-Citristar-Electric-Citrus-Juicer/dp/B000H6V06A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tribest Citristar Electric Citrus Juicer</a>&nbsp;which would often spill out). And the valve really is anti-drip, no need to wipe the table afterwards like I used to with my previous juicers. Great purchase!

As traditional coffee makers go, this one is pretty great... It's super easy to use, it's got great features, AND it looks stylish.  Both plastic and metal pieces are high quality, everything fits well, and buttons are sturdy. The carafe is easy to clean - as are the surfaces of the machine itself - and the reusable gold(-tone) filter rinses quickly. I can't tell scientifically if the charcoal filter is actually making a difference, but taste-wise I was quite happy with the results. The screen is large enough to read easily, but not obnoxiously huge. Overall a high quality appliance that makes a great cup (or 12) of coffee at a good price - and looks nice on the counter.

I love the design and feel of the scale. It's modern looking and quite useful in the kitchen beyond the simple ability to weigh food. Of all the kitchen scales I have used, this is the largest by far at 9" x 6". The display is bright, easy to read and it's built into the surface of the scale. The surface of the scale is glass and the unit will automatically power itself off. The button on the bottom of the scale allows you to switch between imperial and metric.

Two important things to know. First, you need a iPhone or Android it use the Kitchen IQ app that will allow you to access all the features. And second, you need 2 AAA batteries, as they are not included.  Not a problem for me as I have bought the sets of the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/AmazonBasics-AAA-Rechargeable-Batteries-4-Pack/dp/B00CWNMW1S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">AmazonBasics AAA Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack) </a>. If you don't have a iPhone or Android, this will function as a scale and it does that well and accurately. I tested several items and it was spot on.

Where the ability of this scale diverge are with the functions that are available to you via the app.  It allows you to track your calories, similar to MyFitnessPal (free app). I currently use MyFitnessPal and a simple kitchen scale (as needed) to meet my goals.  Is it fun to weigh your food? I don't mind, I am used to it and it helps hit my goals. It also measures liquid volume as well. The food database is large and I have found everything I needed to. The caloris tracking is really quite comprehensive.

The Kitchen IQ app will track everything for you, you do need to enter in all that you are eating of course.  If you are a MyFitnessPal user, this should be quite familiar to you. Weighing food is really a good way to meet your goals. I have a nutritional macro that I want to meet daily and weighing food is the only way I can be accurate. I almost always cook everything I eat, nothing processed or prepackaged. That is why I need to weigh foods to know the caloric content. I learned a lot in the first days when I began using a kitchen scale. If you are like me, you might surprise yourself at the calories you didn't realize you were eating. It helps with portion size too and prevents you from kidding yourself that the serving you thought was 6oz was really 10oz.

As good looking and well designed as this scale is, if you aren't going to use its ability to track calories, there's no reason to spend $59. If you are looking to track and weigh your  intake for weight loss or fitness goals, this is really good.  My only wish was that it connected to MyFitnessPal, but that could be possible in the future. That would make it perfect.

I had my eye on this faucet for awhile but hesitated because I worried installation might be more hassle than it's worth and that the faucet might not perform as expected (If you've ever had a bad experience with a sensor faucet in a public restroom you know my worry).  Accordingly, I did exhaustive research exploring many brands and types of faucets, but nothing else seemed to have the combination of esthetics and functionality I was looking for like this faucet so eventually even with all the worry I bought it anyway.

I'm so glad I did.  First, the installation was nowhere near as bad as I expected.  It did require putting in an additional outlet, but it was an easy enough task for an intermediate DIY'er to take on.  This was installed at the same time as a new sink and garbage disposal and the rest of the installation was straight forward and without hiccups.  The directions were straight forward and easy to understand.

And now that it is installed I absolutely love it.  The design of this faucet gave my kitchen a much needed upgrade.  I worried it might be too modern for the aesthetics of my condo, which are more transitional, but I was wrong.  It blends in perfectly and looks and feels high end.  I especially love that the pull out portion of the faucet is stainless steel since so many I was encountering were plastic with a faux stainless finish and looked cheap.  (Not to mention my old faucet was this way and the finish flaked off over time and looked worn.)

The touchless feature also works flawlessly.  I was worried there might be false triggers, but so far the sensor seems to be ideally located so that doesn't happen.  I also wasn't sure if I would actually use the touchless feature but I find myself taking advantage of it several times a day.  I love it when I'm cooking and have messy hands that I need to watch and I also find it helpful when I'm washing dishes because I can more easily turn the water off between rinsing individual pieces so I waste less.  It's also handy when I fill a big pot with water and need to turn the water off when my hands are full.  I expected to use it when my hands were dirty, but hadn't imagined the other scenarios so I'm happy about the other ways I am finding this to be helpful.

Beyond the functionality of the sensor, I like a lot of other aspects of this faucet.  The water pressure both during normal mode and when using the sprayer are perfect.  The sprayer pulls out smoothly.  I also haven't had any issues with it leaking out of the base or any other component.

Overall my only regret is that I waited so long to get this because now that it is installed I absolutely love it.

This looked like a great design, so I decided to try it out. I find it to do a good job of dehumidifying the air, to be quiet in operation, and to have nice design features.

The design looks fairly bulky, but is actually only about 6 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep at the middle, and about 12 inches tall. I like the overall design, which has a modern flair to it. Use is exceptionally simple. It comes with a very small power adapter that you plug into the wall, then into the device. Push the red button and it starts - but you will barely know it is on. There is a very slight sound, but it is very unobtrusive and fades into the background quickly. There is a blue indicator light to let you know it is working, which turns red when the water tank is full (using a float switch that is simple and effective). How long it lasts before needing to emptied will depend on your particular humidity levels. I found that the power adapter does get a bit warm, but so far it has worked fine.

The rest of the details are on the product page, but I will mention two that I particularly like:

+ The intake area does not get clogged with dust. That is a great relief to me, because our house does get a bit dusty.

+ The red indicator is really well thought out - not only does it notify you to empty the tank, it also turns off the device. That makes for both good convenience and for good safety.

The only problem I had was that the water tank is a bit difficult to remove until you get the hang of it. The first time I removed it I had to dig out the instructions to make sure there wasn't something missing. But no, it is just a bit balky, and simply has to be pulled out with some determination.

Summary: A very nice looking and functioning design. Highly recommended.

Please note that I received this free of charge, so I could review it.

The camera arrived two days ago, and while I haven't taken it out for a shoot yet, I've been playing with it and testing it indoors.

As soon as you pick it up, you're rewarded with the feel of a beautifully designed device, with great craftsmanship, finish and weight. Just like my iPhone 4. The optical viewfinder is crystal clear, taking you back to the film days, with the HUGE added bonus of digitally overlaying useful information, such as exposure configuration, histogram, etc. I was surprised by how quiet the shutter is! The camera came loaded with the latest firmware (1.11 as of this writing), so I've proceeded with formatting my memory card (which is recommended for best performance), and started going through the setup.

Without reading the manual, I've cycled through all the menu options, and seemed pretty straight forward. Within an hour or two I had a pretty good understanding of the configuration options, and had the camera configured to my liking. I was pleasantly surprised that the menu is nowhere near as bad as most reviewers on the Internet make it out to be. Once you use it a few times, you're familiar enough to be able to quickly get to a setting if needed.

Regarding the manual focus so many complain about: yes, it is unusable as a conventional manual focus ring as it's very slow. However, as many pointed out, you can hit the AFL/AEL button on the back in manual focus mode, and the camera will auto focus for you. Where the manual focus ring with it's slow response comes in handy is TWEAKING your focus. Once you've focused with the AFL/AEL button, you can click the middle of the Command dial (above the AFL/AEL button), which in Electronic Viewfinder Mode will give you a 100% magnification of you focus point. You can then fine tune focus with the manual ring. This can be useful at close focusing distances, or difficult lighting situations.

Auto focus speed is more than adequate. The image quality tests indoors seem very good. I will be testing it outdoors in the coming days & weeks.

I have only touched on the few main points criticized the most on the Internet based on my research. I was happy to learn that they are all negligible (and I've been researching this camera for the past two weeks pretty much on a daily basis). There are tons of other detailed reviews out there that give you a full report. I agree with them on the positives: great image quality, great build, excellent viewfinder, amazingly quiet shutter, great manual control dials, a large DSLR sized sensor, packed in a durable but conveniently sized package. Yes, it's on the pricey side, but quality always is.

If you're like me, a bit apprehensive about some of the reviews, don't be. This camera is a joy to use with very good image quality. I am not a professional, just a hobbyist. I do own a Canon 30d & a Canon 5d, along with a Canon S95 point and shoot, which I'll now be selling :).

Hope this helps.

Extremely pleased with this product in usability, design, and expectations.

This speaker's most notable feature is its sound quality, which (in my amateur opinion) is crisp, well-balanced, rich, and dynamic. Obviously, sound quality is paramount when choosing a speaker, but there are a couple features of this NYNE which could use improvement.

The design is appealing and somewhat unique, in that the shape of its ends lend a sort of "organic" or sculptural look. It looks great sitting on a shelf and would mix well among books or decorative items. It's very nicely crafted and the quality is seamless. I love the rubberized stands and control panel, which is very simple, nicely designed and a pleasure to use.

This speaker is, however, is somewhat large for its sound output, but this may not be an issue for most. It has a built in recess in the back which functions as a handle for carrying. I find carrying it by the handle to be awkward and only comfortable to carry a short distance. The angle and depth of the recess are just not quite right for the heft of the speaker, which weighs in at almost 7 pounds. If you are carrying it out to your patio, this is fine, but if you're carrying it a quarter mile down the beach, probably not.

Another concern I have is how qualified this is for use outdoors. Looking at NYNE's website and its pictures of happy folks jamming in the great outdoors, one might think you could bring this speaker along on a white water rafting adventure. However, nothing about water resistance is mentioned in the literature. I put in a query regarding this to customer service via email, in addition to calling them and received zero responses. I think if this speaker is being promoted for use outdoors, more information on those capabilities should be easily accessed.

When I first connected my phone via Bluetooth, I was blown away at how quickly it synced up. I was able to stream Pandora almost instantly and I also found the range to be good, as it worked beautifully within a 30 ft range. I love the perk of using the NYNE as a speakerphone, and reception was flawless. I don't like that if you're streaming music and want to do anything else on your device, such as using the camera, it interrupts the stream. I also don't like that it's impossible to disconnect your device unless you turn off Bluetooth. I attempted this over and over and it would disconnect briefly and then instantly reconnect and sound off all of your device activity.

Although I feel this speaker has great sound, and the glitches I mentioned could be overlooked because of that quality, I find the company's accessibility and support to be questionable. I spent quite a bit of time on the website and also attempted to contact via phone to no avail. It's almost as if it doesn't exist behind the face of the website. They list literally hundreds of "partners" internationally, and yet it seems they don't respond to customer queries on the site, nor are you able to register your product online, which is behind the curve in the realm of consumer support. The "literature" which accompanies the product is an infuriatingly giant piece of paper folded a thousand times, with each blurb of information written in a gazillion languages, making it very frustrating to navigate.  NYNE could do a lot better to be available for their customers because now it feels nobody is standing behind this product. A customer's experience with their product is largely affected by trust in its producer.

This speaker has great sound, but could use some improvements in connectivity and customer support.

Really nice ... so pleased I selected this one!
