Sunriver Cabinet Hardware 26 Pulls and 10 Knobs

PRODUCT REVIEW
Sunriver Cabinet Hardware 26 Pulls and 10 Knobs

   

   

   

   

   

This is a really nice set of cabinet pulls and knobs. You get 26 pulls and 10 knobs. Not sure where they come up with that count because I actually would use the pulls for draws and the knobs for cabinets doors which I have more doors than I do drawers. But none the less I have enough of each. They come packages separately including the screws which is nice because that keeps the screws from scratching the hardware. The pulls measure 6" long and about 1 /4" high. They are brushed nickle and light weight compared to the knobs but still feel to be good quality. The knobs are about 1 1/8" around and approx 1 1/8" high. They are stainless steel and heavier compared to the pulls. Both pieces are very nice quality and good for looks. The screws are 1 3/4" long with grooves about every 1/4" for breaking away to shorten them if needed. Also there are 2 screws in the knob packages so you will end up with extra screws in case you need them.

Well I really can not comment on if this is keeping the pests away as it does take up to 3-4 weeks to see results but I can comment on the fact that it is not effecting my birds, cats or my dog. I have it placed (not on purpose) very close to the birds cages and they don't seem to be bothered by it. So with that being said I do expect it to perform what is should be doing which is keeping the bugs away. The price is reasonable and the fact that it has a night light on it is a nice feature which it is not extremely bright but bright enough to light the way. They do offer 60 days free replacement and 100% money back guarantee if you don't see results after 4 weeks.

Photoshop for Photographers: Training for Beginner Photographers to Master Digital Photography

PRODUCT REVIEW
Photoshop for Photographers: Training for Beginner Photographers to Master Digital Photography



This is a great book for those who are into the picture taking hobby. There is a lot of great beginner’s information to be had. It has information for basic photography and editing as well. There is a lot of information so you need to be patient when reading and learning. I am they type that take a while to soak it all in and this book is pretty easy to read and comprehend. I found a lot of information that not necessarily pertained to taking picture or editing but was like tips and tricks like using a faster memory card, I never knew there was such a thing. So I guess most use a class 4 and for using the burst setting it is much better to use a class 10 card because the faster card processes the photos faster. Or using a grip to balance the weight of your camera. Or the use of different object in your photo to achieve a particular look in your photo. Then throughout the book there are pictures and photo to help with what the author is talking about which for those of you who are a show and tell type of person this is very helpful. All in all this entire book is wonderful not only for the beginner needing to learn a lot or the advanced who is just looking to refresh on what they already know.

Ameauty 360 Degree Adjustable Car Mount Charger Holder



  

    

I have had mounts similar to this in the past and have not liked them though not ones that go into your lighter socket and have not liked them. They just did not seem to want to stay put. This one is nice because there is no suction cup. And with the rubber parts on where it goes into the socket that helps keep it inside the socket. With the 2 different adjustments that can be made you are able to set it just where you need it. And a plus is the USB connections so that you can plug in 2 devices. I did have one problem though, I have 2 vans and the one that I am driving now the lighter socket is close to the gear shift and so that make is a little bothersome when shifting gears. But my other van it will be no problem. So you may want to pay attention to this when considering it. I was able to turn it away from the shift handle to the right and it did work fine. All in all this mount I like more then others of this type.

Qwoo Waterproof/Portable Bluetooth Speaker

PRODUCT REVIEW
Qwoo Waterproof/Portable Bluetooth Speaker

    

I really like this speaker. It was easy to pair with my phone and the volume was not extremely loud but great for what I need it for. Though it is still pretty loud. Some I have had hardly had any volume to them. I did run it under water just to see how it worked and it appeared to do just fine though that is not what I will be using it for. Which is a nice feature for those times when you are outdoors and those rain drops just mysteriously show up. It does have a micro sd card slot so that you can play what you want from that type of source or it also have a aux input so that you can connect a device to it. Then of coarse it is Bluetooth capable for paring with your cell phone. It says the battery life is up to 18 hours which is amazing with a 2 hour charging time. Which you do receive the cable to charge it. There is also a nice strap for hanging it any where you want.

Microsoft Excel: Advanced Microsoft Excel Data Analysis for Business

PRODUCT REVIEW
Microsoft Excel: Advanced Microsoft Excel Data Analysis for Business


Wow what a book. I am an Excel junky though not real knowledgeable on all it can do.  When I was working I used excel a lot to complete different tasks for my job but it was nothing near what this book explains how to do.  I am not even close to knowing all it can do. This book is more of an advanced book for those who have a lot of knowledge about how excel works and what it can do, hence the title “Advanced”.  It is easy to read and has a lot of screen shoots which is a huge plus in my opinion.  For me having pictures that go along with what is being explained is a must.  Some people can not comprehend what they are reading unless they also have illustrations to go along with the words.  So they did very well with adding photos.  I highly recommend this reading for the more experienced person who wants to learn more of what Excel can do.

IPhone Charger Cablex Cable 5 Pack

PRODUCT REVIEW
IPhone Charger Cablex Cable 5 Pack



One person said you get 5 for the price of one though really it should be for less then the price of one cause they can be $15 plus for one cord. These really feel pretty durable and they have the extra padding at the ends where the cable enters the plug in piece which is where most cables end up getting ruined. So with 5 you don't have to drag your cable everywhere you go you can leave one just about everywhere you need one.

I really like these because of the nylon material they are made of. I personally feel these type last longer though that is just my opinion. They feel extra strong at the base on both ends with the extra pad of material covering the cable. And the pink just love it. And 3 ft long is perfect for places where you don't need an extra long cord. With 3 in the pack you get a few extra so you don't have to collect your cord and take it every where you go.

AFTERPARTZ 12V H-W45 Heated Front Seat Cushion

PRODUCT REVIEW
AFTERPARTZ 12V H-W45 Heated Front Seat Cushion

     

     

Great heated cushion. I have never had one of these and I really like it. The heat setting are just right. The low is not to low and the high is not to high. It is not to flimsy giving me the feeling that it will not wear out to soon. It is soft to the touch and very easy to install. It is also easy enough to move to a different seat if you don't like where you put it.  The title says front seat but I put mine in the middle seat of my van because there is a lighter socket to plug it in back there.  Very nice extra warmth for the cold days of winter.

Essential Oil Diffuser, 300ml Wood Grain Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser with Timer




I have only had one diffuser which was a very small mini one. This is much larger though not so large that it is bothersome. I like that is has different time settings and also a constant setting so you can set if for 2, 4 or 6 hours or to run continually. Then it has an auto shut off if the water runs out which is perfect for me as I am very forgetful. And it lights up with 7 different colors which can be turned off if you don't want the light. And with a 40 day money back guarantee and an 18 month warranty you can't go wrong. I am pleased with my diffuser.

PRODUCT REVIEW
Voice Recorder Evistr 8GB Digital Audio Sound Recorder 


    

  


Good little recorder. I like the size of it as you can put if just about anywhere. I did several test recording and it is clear with no background noise that I could hear. I would really prefer one that takes a memory card but this will holed up to 560 hours so that really is plenty. Another plus is the built in battery so you don't have to deal with changing batteries. So for the price this really is a nice recorder for recording those meetings or just about anything needed that you don't need a more expensive recorder for. It comes with a mic, headphones, computer cable for downloading and charging and the cable and box to hook up to your home phone to record a phone call. I think for the more simple functions and jobs you can not go wrong with this one.
