Joyin Toy 24 Pieces Assorted Wind-up Toys for Kids Party Favors (2 Dozen) by Joyin Toy
4.0 out of 5 stars Fun set, many great uses!, July 27, 2016
I purchased this 24 piece assortment of wind up toys from Joyin Toy for party favors at a birthday party. It's perfect for this purpose. These toys are all very cute and will surprise kids with all the different things they do. They are also great for rewards during potty training or helping your toddler reach other goals. I also wanted this set because it looked like there were some water toys for the tub. There was a turtle and a dolphin, but neither was very good at swimming, unfortunately. I did have one toy that came apart of the 4 or 5 that I opened up to play with. Otherwise, though, the set is full of fun, working wind-up toys. Especailly at this price, I recommend this item. Joyin Toy was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try these toys out and provide an informed review.

King Sheet Set, White, Best Quality Bedding Sheets Set on Amazon, 4-Piece Bed Set, Deep Pockets Fitted Sheet, 100% Luxury Soft Microfiber - Hypoallergenic, Cool & Breathable by Nestl Bedding
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Set, Great price!, July 26, 2016
This Nestl Bedding King sheet set has exceeded my expectations. Soft and thin, perfect for summer nights when the AC doesn't cut it! These sheets fit my king sized bed perfectly and are quite high quality. The top sheet and the pillow have nice embroidered embellishments on them which do 2 things for me: 1: they give the sheets a luxurious touch that looks great and 2: they allow you to keep the set together and take the guess work out of folding the laundry when there are multiple sets of white sheets. Also, the price of these sheets is much less than comparable sets in big box stores. You're much better off getting them here on Amazon. Nestl Bedding was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this sheet set out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very much a premium cable!, July 18, 2016
While it may seem like a trivial matter, not all USB cables are of equal quality. The IMKEY Premium 6.5 Feet Tangle-Free Zinc-Alloy Micro-USB Cable lives up to its title in every way. First of all: it is definitely premium: The metal ends and flat cable distinguish this cable from competitors. The 6.5 ft. length makes it far more useful as a charging cable because you can actually use the phone while it is changing from a couch or from in bed without an extension cord. The cord is also flexible and easy to arrange compared to others. There're no kinks that need to be worked out over months of use, it just bends how you want it.

I use this cable with my Galaxy S6 and it fully supports Samsung's Fast Charging technology and there are no issues with the cable fitting in the charging port of the phone even with a case which limits the space available for the charger. The metal ends are premium, however, you will need to be careful if you are stuffing this cable in the same pocket as your phone because it does have an elevated risk of scratching your device. Be careful when trying to plug it in in the dark too, blindly jabbing it at your device could also scratch it. However, this is a great charging cable all told.

IMKEY was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this cable out and provide an informed review.

Jet Clean Easy Squeegee 3-Size Pro-All Purpose for Washing Glass, Mirror, Shower, Window, Auto by Jet Clean
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Kit!, July 14, 2016
A great kit to squeegee, well... anything! This three blade squeegee kit from Jet Clean is perfect for the shower, but I got it for washing our cars. The cars end up looking so much better if you squeegee the water droplets off before they dry on there. For this, I really only use the largest one, but if you were inclined, you could use the smaller ones for mirrors, etc. The blades were smooth and free of burs.

It would be better for my purposes if it didn't have the metal casings for the blades. An all-plastic or rubberized option would be best to avoid scratching your car.

Jet Clean was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this squeegee kit out and provide an informed review.

INSIQ AW5 Dashcams for Cars Discreet Super HD 1296P 1080P Hi-Res Video Recorder & Camera 150° WDR - G-Sensor Loop Recording Superior HDR NightVision w/ Class 10 32GB MicroSD Card and Adapter by INSIQ
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Dash Cam I've Used!, July 12, 2016
This is the third dash cam that I've tried and it's my favorite by far! My biggest complaint about other models is that they don't get out of the way and let me forget about them like they should. The INSIQ Super High-Definition Car Dashboard Camera is tiny, but the build quality has a high-end feel. There is a leather-like texture around the edge that makes it nice to hold when you do have to take it somewhere besides its mount. The noises that the unit makes are subtle and pleasant as opposed to other models which are blaring and annoying. The controls are very straightforward and the options make sense.

In addition to the advertised 2560x1296@30FPS, 1920x1080@30FPS and 1280X720@60FPS, I was pleasantly surprised to find and additional 1920x1080@45FPS, which should be noticeably smoother than the 30FPS mode. Another resolution is the 2560x1080, which provides a much wider 21x9 aspect ratio than other modes. This is convenient for dash cams since you're better off capturing more peripheral areas than standard 16x9. However, the 2560x1296 captures the true full frame of the sensor.

While I'm getting nerdy about the particulars of this unit, another thing that surprised me about this unit was that the video and audio was fully compatible and natively playable within Windows 8.1 and Android. I have had bad experiences with similar devices where the audio codec is not supported by Windows or Android, and additional steps needed to be taken to get the files in a state that are usable. For reference, it uses an MOV container with H264 - MPEG-4 AVC for the video and MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a).

If I had to nit-pick, I wish there was a manual-only mode for the back light so that it would never turn on. Currently, it only allows it to be set to a 3-minute timeout or never. The power button does allow the back light to be turned off without interfering with recording, however.

In conclusion, as someone who has tried a few different dash cams, this is the best one I have used. It gets a lot of details right where others slack off. I highly recommend it.

INSIQ was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this dash cam so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh., June 30, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Strong motor and easy to wind, but it doesn't really swim. It just wobbles back and forth. The tail is not good at moving the fish.

ESUMIC Ocean Waves Projector Lamp Projection 8Modes ,Ocean Lamp Music Projection by ESUMIC
5.0 out of 5 stars Very relaxing and incredibly versatile!, June 30, 2016
See video on Amazon.com  What a fun and deceptively simple device this is! The ESUMIC Ocean Waves Projector Lamp projects a very cool, changing pattern onto the wall or ceiling. It has an array of LEDs in 4 different colors that rotate around. The settings cycle through some different modes: all colors constantly on, each individual color constantly on, fading between each color and all colors, and strobing through all the settings. That alone is a great set of functionality, and the projected waves of light are very cool looking. The lights rotate around and they play off the wavy plastic lens over the top. Fortunately, the whole thing is silent when operating. The only thing I wish is that the waves were a little more random and the rotation is sometimes choppy, but this is a minor gripe. However, there are more functions that really take this item to the next level. First of all, you can plug it in using the included AC adapter, but it can also run on battery power, which is an amazing option to have. Secondly, there's a speaker included and you can use a 3.5mm headphone plug to pipe in music. What I found this useful for is hooking up an old phone that has a white noise generator app, and you can play white noise while projecting the soothing lights onto the ceiling. After using this for a while, it's clear that my two year old son loves it the most. Sometimes we'll just lay on the floor while it's projecting on the ceiling and he will say "oooh!" and "aaaah!".
