Uber Appliance UB-XL1 Uber Chill 12 Can Retro Personal Mini Fridge Review

The Uber mini fridge is a one of a kind and very cool looking personal fridge. This looks very cool next to my lazy boy chair in my living room. Don’t have to walk to the kitchen any more for my next drink any more. Took lazy to the whole next level. #ad

What I like:
-        Holds 12 cans or 6 normal water bottles if that is you
-       Comes in different colors (I picked red)
-       Can actually do both, cool and heat (switch on back)
-       Can run off AC (110v) or DC (12v) power with different ports on the back (both cords included)
-       Has a small bubble window on the front of the door, I can see if I am low on beverages or not
-       Small and portable, take it with you on the next tailgating party
-       Fan is nice and quit and can barely be heard
-       Very reasonably priced for what you get and what it does
-       Feels and looks very well-built and should last
-       Nice large and stylish handle to open the door with
-       Can lock the handle and door closed if desired or needed for travel or moving

What I don’t like:
-       Like all refrigerators, you need room in back for the fan circulation
-       Make sure you read this, Says “32 F below ambient temperature”, so if it’s hot this may not get as cold as you think it should and keeps things cold
-       Keeps things cool or warm more then get them cold or heat them up, so make sure they are cold or hot to start with before sticking them in this fridge to start with

Overall, a sweet little personal fridge that can be taken and used anywhere. You can keep things warm until you get there and then turn to cold and keep your drinks cool while you are eating the warm food you just brought. Very cool and neat idea. Depending on your need ands situation, I would recommend this fridge and would buy another one if the need arose. #IWasInvited

Flashlight Rechargeable, Amz vision Water Resistant & SkidProof Design, Zoomable 5 Modes Super Bright High Power Led Flashlight Review

The Amz Vision 1000 Lumens LED zoomable handheld flashlight arrived in a small cardboard box with just the name of the company on the front of it. Inside the box was the carrying case, flashlight, wall battery charger and optional AAA battery housing. The rechargeable battery and white tube were inside the flashlight already with a plastic piece to stop the battery from making contact (need to remove this before charging and using it). There are no instructions that come with this and everything is wrapped individually in its own plastic bag. 

When I first picked the flashlight up out of the box, I was impressed with the weight and feel of it. It is all metal and feels well-built and sturdy, but only weighs .5 oz.  The flashlight is small at 6.6 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter, but it packs a lot of punch for its small size. It’s small enough to fit in a purse, pocket or glovebox by itself or you can keep it in the carrying case it comes in.

The five different light modes are a nice touch if you need them, most people, I would guess will use the normal high beam, but if you need it lower or require a strobe or SOS, then it does that as well. The on/off switch is on the side of the flashlight, also changes the mode of the light depending on how you push it. To turn this on and off, simply depress the on/off button all the way down until it clicks. To change the modes, you softly depress the on/off button, not allowing the click, and it switches the light to your desired mode. If you push it too hard and it clicks, you just turned it off again.

You can adjust the beam by just sliding the head of the flashlight forward and making the beam smaller and more focused at x1 or pull it all the way back and make the beam light up the whole area in front of you at x2000 or anywhere in between. It’s a really nice and easy feature. This thing will also reach about 500 feet away so you can see well out in front of you. I have an acre of land and have no problem seeing to the back of my lot with this thing. Do not look into this light or shine this into anyone’s eyes. The LED light is very bright and could damage your eyesight if not careful.

The choice to use 3 AAA batteries instead of the rechargeable battery is a great feature (since this one came with only one rechargeable battery) as well if needed and can be used as a backup if the rechargeable battery has no juice (I have an extra one from another light).

I do really like that this has a charging port on the side of this and you don’t have to remove the battery to charge it but also comes with a charger if you need it. Not sure how this port plays in the waterproofing of this flashlight. Time will tell I guess. This does take a long time to charge at about 6 hours if dead, but it is a pretty big battery.

With all that being said, I would recommend this to family and friends for anyone looking for a high quality, easy to use, well-built LED flashlight that you can adjust for the price. It’s amazing how far technology has come these days.

DOMAS TENS Unit Electronic Massager Pain Relief Machine for Neck Shoulder Muscle Sore Joint Lower Back Pain Review

The DOMAS tens electronic massager is wonderful if you have pain or stiffness and need some help or relieve for it.

What I like:
-       About the size of a cell phone, very light and portable, fits in your pocket, take it with you
-       Large and easy to read LED display screen, backlit in blue 
-       Comes with 2 sets of 2 self-adhesive pads, one small oval set and one palm size set
-       Built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts for hours with a full charge
-       Multi-functional controls, modes, and settings
-       Pads are reusable
-       Comes with the charging cable
-       Pad wires are long enough to reach pretty much anywhere you need the pads
-       Can adjust from a mild stimulation to a vigorous one, but doesn’t hurt and is relaxing
-       FDA approved

What I don’t like:
-       Takes about 4-10 hours to fully recharge the internal battery
-       Pads are reusable but will need to be replaced at some point (about 30 uses)

Overall, this is a very nice device and really helps with my lower back pain and slight shoulder pains I get. Think I will try this on the wife’s plantar fasciitis next and see if she gets any relief with that as well. This will hurt if you turn it up too much or put it in sensitive areas, so be careful.

ONCHOICE USB 3.0 Hub with 7 Ports Review

The ONCHOICE USB 3.0 Hub with 7 Ports is wonderful and was bought to replace a 4 port hub from another company. Seems that every day, you get more devices that need charged or connected to your PC for an update or data transfers. I also now have 10 drones that I need to charge using a USB port when I want to fly them. #ad

The good about the hub:
-       USB 3.0  adapter but backward compatible
-       7 USB ports
-       Doesn’t require any setup or software (plug and play)
-       Separate on/off switch and LED indicator light for each port
-       Small, compact and very portable if needed
-       Really good price point
-       Has an AC adapter port if needed for charging only (power cord not included)
-       Comes with a flat USB cable
-       Supplied USB cable has the USB 3.1 Micro-B plug on the one end, better/faster

The bad about this hub:
-       Doesn’t come with an AC adapter plug but has the port for it
-       Supplied USB cable has the USB 3.1 Micro-B plug on the one end, not reversible and not swappable with other cables you may already have
-        No seen warranty or guarantee on device

If you have a USB 3.0 port on your devices and plug this into it and use it, this is a fast and wonderful device. If you don’t it’s just another USB hub with 7 ports. Either way, this is still a really nice hub that anyone can use to charge and/or transfer data with and is small, light and very portable to take with you anywhere if needed.

Craphy 504 LED PT-504S Photo Studio Barn door Light High Brightness Portable Continuous Lighting Panel with White Orange Filters for Digital SLR JVC DSLR Camera DV Camcorder Review

The Craphy PT-504S LED photo studio Light is just what I needed to get a better shot when we set up the photo booth at our parties or family get-together’s or just need more light when shooting somewhere with little light.

First, you need to be made aware that this does not come with the batteries or a power cord to power it. You must either have or buy an AC adapter plug that will fit it or a Sony NP-F Type Battery (NP-F550, NP-F750 or NP-F970). Seen a generic NP-F550 on Amazon for $9.99 if needed. You need two of them. I had the AC adapter that fit it and I would guess most people already have one also laying around.

The light itself is a little on the heavy side and will be really heavy if you use the batteries to power it, especially if you use the more high powered mAh batteries that last longer. You will need a pretty good and sturdy stand to use this on.

You can also buy separately, the RC-01 remote control to use with this as this does not support Bluetooth to operate and control it like some others do. I have seen one on B&H for about $25. Without the remote, this is all manual to use but not that big a deal.

This light is very well built with removable barn doors (don’t lose the screws) and comes with two filters that cover the lights and gets inserted from the top of the light. One is a clear white filter for diffusing the light (gives you a daylight light at 5600k) and the other is an amber filter that gives you a warm orange color at 3200k.

On the back you have an indicator for the batteries if installed, a mode button, power button, up/down button to adjust the brightness of the light and a port for the AC adapter plug. You need to push and hold the on/off button to get it to turn on or off as there is a little delay.

This comes with a hot shoe (with a GoPro attachment with thumb screw) and also comes with a handle if you or someone else decides they want to hold this light when using it.

Overall, this is a very bright LED light with 504 LED lights that is easy to setup, control and operate. I think this is an excellent light and well worth the money spent for what I use it for.

Yazer Set of 7 Reusable Premium Laundry Bags with Pink Zipper Review

The Yazer laundry bags are a pleasant surprise. Never thought I would want or need something like this, but now that I have them, these are great.

These are made with double fabric walls with a fine netting on the outside and a bigger course mesh on the inside. Very well built. The zipper on these are a small fine tooth zipper that works and stay closed with a stopper piece at the end of the zipper where it finishes closing at.

I love that there are multiple sizes for the different clothes I have and how the smaller ones work well for undergarments and sock and that I can keep them separated and in their own bag. I stopped loosing socks once I started using these bags.

These also work well keeping my clothes and my wife’s clothes separated and that makes folding and putting away so much easier.

Overall, great laundry bags that work well and should last for some time going forward.
