3M PELTOR TEP-200 Tactical Ear Plug Kit, NRR 23dB, Rechargeable, Noise Reduction, Construction, Law Enforcement
Verified Purchase: “First let me say I have tried a lot of different hearing protection and have always been able to find faults with just about every one… EXCEPT THESE!
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019
I am a USPSA shooter and Range Officer. I live in AR15ONA and really hate muffs because of how hot and sweaty things get as our temperatures rise. Working as a RO, I had no choice but to use muffs, until I discovered these. My Walker’s were good for 9mm and nothing bigger. My last 3 matches I used the 3M Peltor TEP-200’s and was completely happy.
1. Shutoff was fast.
2. Worked with all pistol calibers including .38 Super, 10mm, .40 and .45.
3. Very comfortable for all day use.
4. Recharged very quickly
5. Very sturdy storage case
6. Controls are intuitive and simple
7. Excellent noise reduction.
Can be a bit on the pricy side but you get what you pay for.
I highly recommend this product.
Update: Last night I had the opportunity to shoot and RO a match indoors. I decided to give the Peltors a try. They worked great… even for .40 & .45’s. Very impressed!!!
UPDATE: I’ve been using this 2-3 times per week for about a year now and I am still totally happy and have recommended them to many friends who are also very happy. 👍👍”

AutoFull C2 Pink Bunny Gaming Chair Cute Kawaii Gamer Chair for Girl Ergonomic Computer Gaming Chair with Lumbar Support PU Leather High Back Racing Gaming Chairs
Verified Purchase: “EDIT: It’s been 2 years now! I have actually moved to a different state with this chair also! Chair itself is going strong! I am in it about 8hrs/day everyday lol. No wobbling or stability issues at all. No sagging, no leather ripping! Which is impressive for me because I sit like a savage no joke. I sit however is comfortable and I’m not very gentle with my stuff. Love this quality. But I’ve been wearing clothing more when sitting in the chair and over time the well known staining issue has started occurring to me finally. :C Much like photos you’ll see from other reviewers my chair started doing that too, staining on the seat and the lumbar pillow. Looks sad and gross. I tried wiping it down with plain water and that didn’t work at all. HOWEVER. I had some cheap wet wipes I bought from Daiso so I thought why not. It got almost all the stains out I was shocked. Took me like 4-5 wet wipes but it got basically all of it off. Small bit of it is still stubbornly there but it’s so little I don’t even notice lol. HURRAY! I’m so happy lol. So hopefully that works for anyone else out there with that problem too! I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye out for staining and I’m going to try wiping it down the moment I see it, maybe that’ll keep the stains for setting in and getting annoying.
Pros:
– High quality. When putting it together and touching it, you can tell it’s well built and the pleather is thick and durable. I hear ppl have been staining these chairs with the clothing they wear but unsure if it’s the fault of the pleather. I’ve had REAL leather that can gets stained by jeans and shirts after a while so I dunno. After a year my chair is still perfect without any stains. But real talk I don’t wear pants at home lol so unsure if that’s why. But my colorful underwear isn’t staining the seat and my shirts haven’t stained it either. :3
– REALLY CUTE. There’s a lot of other pink gaming chairs out there these days but I still like the aesthetic of this one the most.
– Very easy to put together by myself.
– Reclines very easily. Easy to control height of chair. I have to put this in because I’m actually really bad at figuring out how to maneuver office chairs when they have levers to adjust things. OR I’ve used chairs where it’s really stiff and I have to put my whole body weight into making it moving up or down or to recline. Didn’t have to with this chair! Very smooth and easy whenever I want to adjust!
– Smooth rolling chair, no squeaking. Really love this chair.
– Comes with soft fuzzy arm covers that are removeable for washing.
– Arms are easily height adjustable as needed
– Bunny ears are included and removeable so you can actually wear it yourself as a headband! If you have other animal ear headbands you can actually insert it into the chair instead of the included bunny ears to change up the look as you like.
– I know some folks have had issues with the winged seats hurting their thighs. I am 5’3″ and hover between115lbs-125lbs (quarantine 15 ;_;) and it’s not a problem. So if you are my size or smaller you will for sure not have an issue with it. Check other reviews and see if anyone else listed their height and weight that matches your size. Their reviews should help determine if this chair would be the right fit for you. 🙂Cons:
– Soft fuzzy arm covers does not change how HARD those armrests are. After a while it would hurt my elbows. I used leftover fabric and polyfill to create soft armrest pillows that I could tie on (as shown in the photo). You can definitely buy soft armrest attachments online also. But for a $250+ chair I would like them to make it comfy from the get go. There are gaming chairs out there that come with soft padded armrests for comfort.
– Lumbar pillow is nice but does not come with the elastic straps to attach onto the chair for adjustment. Honestly you need it. It was hurting my back that the lumbar pillow was too low for me. As my photo shows I took white elastic I had lying around and I sewed the straps on myself lol. So now it’s perfect. But again, there are other gaming chairs that come with it already. It’s annoying to put in extra effort when I already paid so much for the chair.
– No built in foot rest like some of the cheaper gaming chairs out there.
– Chair is very firm which can be a pro depending on the person. I suppose it’s good for ergonomics? But my posture is awful so for me it’s a con since I prefer softer seats. Luckily there are cute cat paw cushions that are pretty popular right now and just adds to how cute my room can be. Adding the paw cushion made everything perfect and comfy.
– I wanted the free rug gift! :C At the time they said the factory that was making their rugs shut down so they gave me a chair pad thing instead. I don’t use it. I tried but it’s MEH. But now when you buy the chair they have the rugs again for the free gift. It definitely feels bad that I missed out on the free rug that so many others got. :C It’s really cute. I really wanted it. /crySo the cons on the chair are all things that can be fixed by buying stuff (or sewing if you are able) to add onto the chair. Small modifications here and there are worth it in the long run though. I cannot make it so a chair has good quality materials and build which is why even with all the cons I will still choose this chair every time if I want a good quality pink gaming chair that isn’t a SecretLab.”

Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 48 oz. Container, Slate
Verified Purchase: “Bought this when Amazon had a $60 off deal on the black color. Vitamix products are expensive. Especially so, considering these are only blenders, but they are the best when it comes to blending anything you put into it and the durability, (though nothing is made like it used to be, even these.)
I chose the cheaper model as I don’t need the programs, nor the latest container sensing system, and the 48 oz container is just the right size for 3 of us. The 3″ blades allow for smaller quantities if making a recipe for one. The other higher-priced models have 64 oz containers and 4″ blades, but need a greater minimum quantity of ingredients to work correctly and immerse the blades. The 2 hp matches the 3″ blades and does the same job as the 2.2 hp motor does on the larger containers. So, model choice really is down to minimum batch size and what bells and whistles you feel you want, but don’t actually need!
So far I haven’t found fault with the E310. It does a fantastic job of blending anything I’ve put into it, as long as you follow the loading rules; liquids first, followed by lighter ingredients like leafy material, then heavier items like apples followed by heavy ice cubes. This ensures the blades start blending the easier stuff first and the heavier items weight the load down to maintain a feed into the blades until everything is flowing in a strong vortex, completing the blend.
Made lots of smoothies and also some soup, heated by the Vitamix itself in 6 minutes or so. I did struggle with a frozen dessert, but I think that was because all the fruit ingredients were frozen solid and I missed the recommendation to let them thaw a little for 10-20 minutes on the counter before blending. The Vitamix had no problem breaking down the solid frozen lumps with the aid of the included tamper, but an air pocket kept forming around the blades and the mix didn’t “flow” and produce the classic 4-segment, stiff vortex shape on the surface. Everything was too frozen. It did produce a nice sorbet though after much tampering!
Clean-up is a breeze. You just rinse the container, add warm water with a couple drops of dish liquid and run at high speed. Rinse again and let dry. And that’s it!
Unlike other blenders, the blades are not razor sharp and it would be difficult to cut yourself on them if wiping out the container. The “wet” container blending is all about the blade shape, the speed of rotation (most times you are running at the highest speed of 10 and the only factor to think about is run-time) and the subsequent mixing vortex driving the ingredients into the blades. For flour and other dry seed blending, you need a “dry” container, supplied separately as an accessory, but over $100 !! Its blades are a different configuration and keep the fines from broken-down seeds in suspension in the container, while the heavier seeds fall back into the blades. You can, however, make nut butters in the supplied “wet” container using peanuts, almonds, etc..
The pulse function is good for “lumpy” salsa and for adding some chunks at the end of a blend for texture. I added some more baked potatoes and roasted cauliflower to the soup after blending to temperature. Then pulsed them to leave some larger chunks in the smooth soup.
As with any high speed blender, these units are noisy, but we don’t live in an apartment to have to worry about the noise!
We are using the Vitamix every day for healthy fruit and vegetable smoothies and look forward to a long time doing so with the 5 year warranty. Vitamix customer service is reputed to be very good. I expect an even longer life from the unit as the Vitamix is well designed.”86 people found this helpful

Mikasa Antique White 40-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 8
Verified Purchase: “I purchased these after Thanksgiving. I had read all the reviews, so I wanted to use them and wash them (a lot) before writing this review. It took me forever to decide on a set. We bought a small set of dishes when we first got married. I wanted to buy something nice this time but could still be used everyday. It was hard picking between stoneware, earthware, porcelain, chip resistant, etc. Some had mentioned black specs and that almost deterred me. I purchased the 40 pc set and out of all the 40 pcs maybe 2 of the dishes had a small black spec. I’ve attached a picture of one that has a black spec. All the other dishes were fine. The dishes wash well in the dishwasher and they do say chip resistant. So far so good – no chips. They are not too heavy and stack well in the cupboard. I’ve had compliments on the dishes. I love them!

WEMAX Nova 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector, ALPD Laser TV, Android TV Smart Projectors with WiFi Bluetooth, 80″-150″, HDR10, Voice Command Remote, UST Projector for Movie, Video, Gaming
Verified Purchase: “PROS:
1) This projector has a beautiful picture. When used with an ALR screen, the image is as nice as any I have seen. Don’t fool yourself by projecting onto a wall surface — it will certainly be inferior and waste the potential of the Nova.
2) The Nova supports Dolby Atmos.
3) The instructions are written in excellent, grammatical English — the best I have seen in an imported electronic product. They tell you “what” to do, but have little to say about “why” you are doing it.
4) The built-in speakers are really very good.
5) Technical support typically responds in one or two days.CONS:
1) The remote control is hard to use if you have large hands. My husband struggles with getting the correct direction on the left/right/up/down ring.
2) The Nova does not have a native Netflix app available to download due to “licensing issues” with Android. For this reason Wemax DOES NOT claim to support Netflix – fair enough. It is possible to side-load Netflix, but every time you turn on the projector, it warns you that it is “…Not Optimized For Netflix (-14).” I don’t really know what this implies, but it doesn’t sound good…
3) The Ethernet connection is intermittent — some times it works, sometimes not. Wemax is not willing to repair the device, or to even discuss repair. Instead, they have given me $17 and told me to fix it myself. If they won’t fix it now when it is brand new, I have to worry about how they will respond to warranty claims that might arise in the future.
4) The Nova does not support Dolby Vision. I don’t think this is much of an issue.
5) Nova does support my Tablo device, but some functions do not work as well as when using the Roku/Tablo combination. I expect this is due to an Inferior Android application and is not the fault of Wemax.
6) Nova is not suitable for gaming due to excessive lag.
7) Technical support will promptly answer questions they like, and will ignore questions they don’t like.Overall, I am not sorry I bought the Nova. There are only a few shortcomings that stand between a “good” review and a “great” one.”
