WISEWO Android TV Box T95M 4K2K HD Quad Core


I already have a ROKU 2 old model and I wanted to upgrade it to the latest one as it was freezing often when playing HD videos after the last software update. That’s when I got this android TV box and this is great. I am an android phone user and it made easier to setup and synchronize with my google play store account.

This one comes with lot of preloaded apps and the most helpful one is KODI. If you have already used KODI then you will love this TV box. I will provide more details on the preloaded apps later in my review.

Important Features of TV Box:
-          Amlogic AArch64 Processor Quad core CPU
-          1747 MB – Available memory for applications (2 GB total)
-          4.7 GB – Available storage for applications
-          WIFI
-          Bluetooth
-          HDMU Port
-          2 USB Ports
-          1 Micro SD Slot
-          Android 5.1.1 version

Along with the TV box, I received a Bluetooth remote control mini keyboard which is extremely helpful in operating the box. You also get a remote controller for the box, which in my opinion not very useful and so far I have used it only to turn on/off the box. I also got a HDMI cable to connect with the TV, an adapter and a charging cable for keyboard.
Performance:
The performance of this box is great. I have not seen any lag and the box is very responsive. I am able to play HD videos with no issues and I tested the video performances in KODI, YOUTUBE and AMAZON VIDEO. The box supports 1080P and 4K decoding as long as you have a TV supporting that. You have an option in the home page to clear the unused memory when needed. I tried to quickly switch b multiple apps and the transitions were smooth. I did not notice any issues when scrolling the content inside the apps. No performance issues in playing quality games. Refer my sample video of ASPHALT 8 gameplay.

Interface:
The interface is very good. Home page has 6 big icons (Link to KODI, Music, Video, Settings, Memory Clean and My Apps) in center and small icons in bottom. The bottom icons are customizable and you can add your frequently used apps. Navigation is smooth and settings menu is well organized. Please refer my video for an overall look.
Preloaded Apps:
KODI is unbeatably the best app to use and I noticed KODI was already loaded with lot of addons. Unfortunately mine did not have Exodus and One Channel (which are the best video addons) and I have to install them manually. I am already using KODI in my laptop so it was easy for me install the necessary addons. Using KODI in this TV box is so easy and comfortable and unarguably better than doing the same in laptop.
Apart from KODI, lots of other apps are preloaded in the box. Some of the noticeable apps are – Netflix, Browser, Facebook, Skype, Video and Audio player, Show Box, Sky Live, Mobdro, FilmOn Live. 



Bluetooth Keyboard:
The mini keyboard is very useful and really makes easier to use the TV box. You have to plug in the Bluetooth USB in TV box to use the keyboard. The TV box automatically detected the keyboard as soon as I connected. The keyboard has lot of shortcut buttons – home, player, play and pause, forward and reverse, search, browser, volume up and down, mute. Keyboard is powered by a rechargeable BL-5C battery and is chargeable with a USB cable. The keyboard also has a mouse touchpad.


 Other noticeable things:
-          This box has an SD card slot and 2 USB slots. I can plug in a card or USD device with media contents and play them in TV.
-          One other good feature is we can connect with Bluetooth devices. I have already connected with my headset and enjoy watching videos and playing games.
-          The TV box has a small display to show time and there is an LED indicator (blue when turned on and red when off).
-          I installed many of the android games and really enjoy playing them in big screen

iXCC 5-port USB 10A 50W Durable Universal Fast Car Charger

I already have a car charger which has 2 ports and I wanted to buy another one with multiple ports as my 2006 model car has only one power outlet. Luckily at the same time I got a promotional offer for this 5 port 10A 50W fast charger and I ordered it in no time. When I received, I really got impressed with its design and look and it really scored with its first impression.


The shape and color are perfect and fits nicely in the cup holder. I like the black and blue combination and it adds the beauty. Adaptor comes separately and there is a place holder for it on the bottom of the charger. At any point you can unplug the adaptor from the cable and insert into the charger base when you carry. The charger cable is like a spiral, can be pulled out. Max length of the cable is half meter and it is more than enough to use in the car. You can refer my picture below to see in real. You can again roll in the cable. They have designed in a way to easily carry the charger which I appreciate.



Let’s concentrate on its performance now. The charger has 5 USB ports each offering 2A power which is great. It does not matter how many ports you utilize, you will get 2A from each port. The one that I have with two ports offers 1 A and 2.1A. Having a charger with 5 2A ports is really helping me a lot. I am able to charge my phone, as well as my wife’s, in addition an ipad. The charging speed is very good and faster that my old charger. I have not utilized all 5 ports yet, but I will soon use when travelling with friends.




The adapter is solid and it fits perfectly in the power socket. I don’t feel any looseness and it sits well until I unplug it. The charger has a small led which glows in blue color when connected to car. This is a perfect companion for my car. Overall I liked the product very much and would really recommend other to buy.

6 Piece Colorful Mixing Bowls - Francois et Mimi

I received this 6 piece colorful mixing bowl set with a promotional offer and I really liked it when I received. They came in a perfect packing and they are lovely colored bowls varied in size. They are so bright and very attractive.



They came in six different colors - yellow, orange, pink, red, green and blue ranging from larger to smaller. I would say the picture in amazon is not doing its justice because the colors are so bright in real. They all fit in one another and with a common temporary lid. They are made with break free material so I suppose they don’t breaking even if you drop by mistake, which I have not tried anyway J




They are 100% melamine mixing bowls with no BPA free. Not a surprise, it is doing great job and adding beauty to my kitchen. I love the largest bowl most. I did not expect this big honestly when ordering it. Large bowl is so good and worth ordering. I used the bowls for cake mixing, dough mixing, salads and I used the smaller ones for mixing eggs.




I have also used these bowls for storing and serving food. They sit well inside fridge. Even though these bowls are dishwasher safe, I wash them with hands as they don’t take much time. The bowls have nice finishing and they are sturdy.



Advantages
+ Bright color
+ Nice finishing
+ Dishwasher safe
+ Lightweight
+ BPA free
+ Break resistant
+ Strong base
+ Variety of sizes.

Disadvantages
- Bowls come with one temporary common lid, which is not helpful always and I have not used at all.
- You can’t use in microwave

Mr.Pro 18 Flora Scented Bath Soap Rose Flower - (Preservative Free) Plant Essential Oil Soap


I ordered this product in amazon as a surprise gift for my wife. When she received parcel, I was with her and very excited to see her reaction. She was shocked soon after opening the box. She initially thought they are original roses, and finally realized they are scented rose soap.


They all looked so real. The roses were very soft touching. Good for bathing. We felt heavenly when using the roses in our bath tub. She had bubble bath with all roses around. Even my kids loved the roses and we had no trouble making them bath.

You can put the roses as whole or u can put few petals in bath tub. They dissolve in few minutes. It gives you great relaxation and refreshing. She felt this as the cutest thing ever she saw which was not actually real.


Roses are coming in different colors and I bought red and pink combination. They are very pretty, looking real and come in a gift pack. The box is very beautiful and compact to store. The roses are neatly arranged in sections inside the box. It has a nice message “love u so much” attached with a beautiful gift ribbon and a text “sweet love” written on top. So you need not worry about the packing if you are wishing to gift someone. Each rose has around 15 petals.


They look good and they are beautiful and make you smile but the drawback is I don’t feel enough rose smell after washing or after taking bath. Also they are not so good to wash hands or face as they don’t dissolve soon and sticks to our hands.

Herstyler Hair Serum with Argan Oil and Aloe Vera 2 fl oz / 60 ml

I received a sample Herstlyer Hair Serum sachet when we were shopping in a mall. This serum is a combination of Argan oil and aloe vera. I always like to try different serums so I applied on my hair when straightening it. OMG, I loved to see my hair turning silky, smooth and shiny in minutes with a very good aroma and I fell in love with the hair serum immediately. Earlier, I was mostly using a hair spray and comparing to that, this hair serum is great.  


I felt that the other serums I tried before got heavy and did not give much shine and dirtied soon. This never happened with this product. I love the nice smell coming out of this serum. I guarantee that the smell lasts for two days after applying. I compared the price of this hair serum from mall with amazon and for my great surprise, the price in amazon was damn cheap and immediately I went ahead and ordered the double pack. The pack came with a beautiful box with two 2oz bottles.

I even liked the bottles very much. They are very pretty sturdy bottles with brown lids. While applying, I divide my hair into two sections. I usually apply 4 pumps of the serum on my hands, rub it lightly and apply on one section, then repeat the same on the other side. I love the smell of my hair. I feel very confident and proud to have this lovely and very nice serum with me. The important thing is I did not find any hair fall after using it and I am so happy about it. It is very handy and you can carry it always with u.


To say in one line, “I am going crazy for this product” J


Love to buy more for me and I envy it a lot. I really can’t wait for my product to get over soon. I highly recommend whoever reading this review to go ahead and order this product without any doubt and you will really love it.

Francois et Mimi 3-Piece Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl

I got this beautiful 3 bowl set and they are awesome. They came with perfect lids and are in 3 different sizes, inner diameter of 16/20/24 cm each. These bowls are little heavy and thick and they are very comfortable handling. All the bowls have a nice hold on one end and beautiful spout on the other end which helps us to pour the batter or any other mixer out very easily.




 

All three bowls has silicon base which gives grip to the surface where I place them and secures in same place. The bowl depth and width for each size is a good balance, not too deep, not too shallow and spatters, splashes and poofs of added flour stay inside the bowl. I liked the big bowl very much with its sturdy handle, good finish with smoothness and heavy. I would love to say added advantage of the bowl is its lid. I got a mixing bowl set earlier with a different brand. When comparing the lid of that, this is awesome and very comfortable to put the lid on.



I would say the lid is added advantage because it has its own style of air tight model which is upside down fit.  They fit easily in my fridge. Bowls fit inside one another nicely, and it doesn't take up a lot of cabinet space. Easy to clean the bowls and these bowls are dishwasher safe. I would really recommend friends to buy this product and worth buying for the given price.

Francois et Mimi Vintage Double Wall French Coffee Press, 34-Ounce, Stainless Steel

This is my product review and demonstration of Francois et Mimi stainless steel French coffee press 34 ounces (1000ml). 

Some of the nice things about the French coffee press is you can get the stronger and better flavor of coffee and also not have to worry about the coffee grounds ending at the bottom of your cup.



The coffee press is quite simple to use. Take your coffee grounds and put them in the bottom of your press. Then pour hot boiling water and put the coffee press, don’t press it down right away. Leave it up for 3-5 minutes so it allows hot water to end up boiling the grounds which is better than what we get it through coffee machine where they just go right through and don’t actually get chance to add true rich flavor to it.



Wait for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how strong you want it and then grab and firmly hold the handle of the coffee press with one hand and slowly press on the plunger with the other hand until it reaches the bottom of the coffee press. When the coffee is ready just pour it down in the cup and it comes out perfectly good without any grounds in it and this is the one of the greatest coffee press I have ever had and looks very professional.




The coffee press is double walled and holds 34 ounce (1000 ml) coffee and gives rich flavor. Fully made of metal and it looks really sleek stainless steel. It is easy to use with a nice large handle, and easy to press down. It has a nice vintage look and is made of Food-Grade 18/10 stainless steel. It is rust resistant and dishwasher safe with unique perfect design for counter-top display. Brews not only coffee but you can brew tea or hot chocolate in it.
