Beautiful Unit – Well Built, And Functions Well – But A Few Things To Be Aware Of. First, let me say that this thingy is really beautiful. To quote Penny (Big Bang Theory): “It’s HIGH techy-techy”. And functional. Yes, you can run virtually every nozzle at once but, unless your home plumbing system is hooked directly up to a fire hydrant somewhere, expect it to loose pressure in direct relation to how many spray features you activate at a time.. But the typical user will only use one or two features at a time in any event so it’s probably not an issue for most folks (our house water pressure is 40 psi for context). Install was straight-forward and quite easy. Just make sure you take really careful measurements. We were lucky to have had easy access to the back of the tub wall that really simplified things. BUT . . . there are several issues that you really need to be aware of:1. Yes, you can switch the display from C to F. The directions given are poor but all you have to do is remove the cover of a small circular opening, approximately 1 in in diameter, held by two tiny screws – don’t drop them! You’ll need a microscope to find them! The opening is located on a plastic display mounting box immediately behind the display on the backside of the unit. Inside the 1 inch round opening you’ll find a pair of tiny DIP switches. Slide both switches to “ON” to set for F.2. When I received my unit, the display wouldn’t work on battery (tho it did work with the water running). Naturally, I checked the batteries and they were fine, but the battery “ON” button on the face of the unit did nothing. I started tracing the wires in the back and found the small black connector on the lead to the battery box was disconnected at the wiring harness near the middle of the unit. Hazzah. Found the problem. Or not. While it clearly was “A” problem, it wasn’t the only problem. I then traced the wire back from the harness to the battery box and found, hidden in a corner of the box, a disconnected positive wire. It’s not that it had broken off of the terminal; it had never been soldered during manufacture. A quick session with my soldering iron fixed the problem and the display works fine now with the water not running. Clearly a one-off mfg error. Pressing the button with the water OFF will light up the display for about 30 seconds then shuts itself off – although I’m not sure why you’d want it on with the water off. Still, I paid for it and I wanted it to work!. (And I shouldn’t have HAD to fix the thing!) Display stays on continuously with the water running, without the need to press the button. Finally, on the digital display issues, at 90 deg. F, the color changes from a bright blue to a pretty dim orange. The description says it will switch from blue to orange or red. That’s fine. What it DOESN’T say is that when it does it will dim by perhaps 60 percent. It’s not so much that it’s defective; it’s just what it is. Not a real problem and the digits are still legible when orange – just really dim.3. Note the size given is overall, and not the actual “footprint” of the unit. The size is given as 52″H x 10″W x 3.5″ which is only SORTA right. The unit has a flat glossy black glass face (and it’s actually quite beautiful) that is, in fact, nearly at the given dimensions (height and width). BUT, (and here’s the issue), the SIDES of the unit are curved UNDER the glass face panel in a convex semi-circle, so the actual “contact footprint” of the unit on the shower wall is, in reality, only 8.5 inches wide by 49.25 inches high. Because the sides are curved into a convex semi-circle, they lift away from the wall as they curve out and up, then back under the glass face. The outward “bulge” of the sides, at their widest matches the width of the glass face, or nearly so, but the “contact point” of the curved sides, where the unit’s frame actually contacts the wall, is only 8.5 inches wide. This is a very important point, since many folks are placing this unit over old valve access holes in the shower/bath wall and want those holes covered by this new unit. If that spacing is any more than 8.5 inches, the old valve holes will show on the sides. Mine were spaced 9 inches from outer edge to outer edge. I covered the holes with small, thin metal “hole-cover” plates (available on Amazon, for example: “Danco 80830 1-3/4-Inch Kitchen Faucet Hole Cover” – there are many others). In my case, with only about 1/4 inch of each old hole showing on each side, the little bit of metal cover disk that’s exposed looks like it’s part of the unit. Height is also a potential issue. The “extra” height between my measurement given here and the published height (nearly 3 inches difference) is that of the glass face that extends about 1.4 inches above and below the frame of the unit, and it’s the FRAME that comes in contact with the wall. Mine JUST barely covered the existing tub spout hole vertically where I wanted to place the unit. So . . . if you’re measuring to cover pre-existing holes, (or for any other reason, for that matter), the better dimensions to use are the “footprint”, or frame-wall-contact measurements of 8.5 inches wide, by 49.25 inches high.4. This unit has an automatic temperature control. That means that you can set the temperature once with one knob and leave it there, using a separate knob to switch the water flow on or off. Once set, during subsequent showers all you have to do is switch the water on and it will automatically mix the hot/cold water to that pre-set temperature. Nice feature. But . . . be careful about your hookups. Our old house has some wacky plumbing (even tho this place was built in the 70’s, I’m thinking that the folks who built it out here in the country still considered the whole idea of indoor plumbing to be something of a big-city novelty), which happened to have the somewhat novel feature of reversed hot/cold water hook-ups, opposite the standard, in this one bathroom. I didn’t think to check/remember that during the install. My bad. So I incorrectly hooked up the hot water line to the cold water inlet and ditto with the cold to hot. In a regularly valved system, this would be fine, just needing to get it in your head which knob you would have to grab at any given moment in your shower to prevent surprises. Here’s the problem with this thingy: when the lines are reversed, the automatic temperature valving won’t work properly, providing only full hot or full cold, no mixing. Good for waking you up in the morning, but not really what we want. Apparently there’s some kind of temperature sensitive wax or something like that that reacts to the incoming temperature, expecting (and only working with) hot on the hot side and cold on the cold. When I realized the temperature setting knob was acting backwards, I simply reversed the hose connections, and viola, problem fixed. Now, when (for example) set to the 38 deg C marker on the temp knob, the readout is exactly 100 deg F as it should be and stays there (or any other temp I happen to choose to set it at). Like I said: Nice feature. So just take note of the connections on install. Also, some reviewers have suggested that the temp control won’t let the water get hot enough. Note that there is a safety detent on the temp valve knob stopping it from turning any hotter at 38 deg C, as marked on the knob. Simply press the red button on the side of the knob to release the detent and turn farther to get higher temps. Finally, on the water control issues: The on/off water flow knob is reversed from what I would expect. To turn on the water, one turns the flow knob to the left 1/4 turn; to shut off the water, turn it to the right 1/4 turn. Not a problem. It just seems backwards to me (and yes, I know, one normally opens a faucet valve by cranking it to the left, and off to the right – it’s just that the way this panel is set up, particularly with only 1/4 turn full travel, it functions more like a switch than a valve, and, normally one would turn a switch knob to the right to turn it on/up; to the left to turn it off/down – think of an old style radio on/off/volume knob). Not a problem; just a personal observation/idiosyncrasy.5. Finally, the supplied connection hoses might be a little short for some applications. In my case, they were EXACTLY the right length, as if they had been custom made for my application. One inch shorter, or had I mounted the unit one inch higher on the wall, I would have had a problem. Not an unsolvable problem, just a nuisance. The hoses are standard flexible plumbing connection hoses, with standard fittings at both ends, already connected to the unit, and can be replaced with longer ones if necessary, available at any big-box store. My only concern had I needed to go down that route was that the hoses come pre-connected (who knows how tightly) to valves that are attached from the back through the glass face. Applying excessive force removing the supplied hoses that were already attached, or tightening the replacement ones, could possibly crack the glass panel. So if you have to go that route, go gently!Bottom line: This is a beautiful, rich looking, and functional unit with only a couple of issues to be aware of. None are deal-breakers, or even close to it. It appears to be well made and solid in its construction (notwithstanding the minor mfg quality control issue on the battery box already noted). We love it and it really topped off our bathroom remodel/modernization. The seller got the thing to us unscathed in only 3 days. We would purchase this thingy again in a heartbeat (and just might for our other bathrooms!), and would decidedly get it from this supplier.

Muy buena calidad y funcionamiento.

Slick, Light, Stylish. I saw this luggage in the Karl Lagerfeld store a few months back. It was very light and stylish. But I instead opted for the hand-carry of the same style. I loved traveling with it, and it got a lot of compliments too.As I had an extended trip coming, I went to buy this luggage yesterday. Unfortunately, it had run out. And the new one was 350$ but nowhere near as good looking.I checked Amazon immediately and was very happy to find this. This is the original KL. It is pretty cheap for what it is and was delivered promptly. I love this luggage!

Pricey but good to have. Simplisafe makes very good products and while a bit pricey I got this to add to my system that already came with one for another doorway in my house. Works flawlessly and no issues.

Perfect. You get what you’re looking for. It is just as pictured, it arrived quickly and undamaged. Super soft material

Looks like picture. Looks exactly like the picture and the blanket is super soft!

Well designed and easy to use. Bought 3 of these for my new system. So easy to install and use. Very functional. Peel and stick units do seem to have great adherence to the mounting surfaces. Highly recommend.

Nice Crossbody. I was looking to downsize my larger purse to a crossbody and this bag fits perfectly. It’s a nice size I can fit a full wallet, phone, keys, small items like lipstick and hand sanitizer. It also matches my Michael Kors tennis.

Fabulous. Finally I got it shades are superb 👌 blending …pigmentation

Pretty and non sticky. The color is so pretty. It’s sheer, but not so sheer that it’s an issue. It’s got good coverage and it’s shiny. I love that it is non sticky! Feels good on my lips. Moisturizing, yes. Totally worth it. I’ll end up buying more colors. Overall a fabulous lip oil.

Impressive Quality and Seamless Integration. After using the Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) for a few weeks, I can confidently say these earbuds are a game-changer. The sound quality is outstanding, delivering clear highs and deep bass that enhance my music and call experience. The AirPods paired with my iPhone instantly. Switching between devices was effortless.The lightweight design and perfect fit make these AirPods comfortable for long periods, whether I’m working out or on a long call. They stay in place remarkably well, even during vigorous activities.The battery life is impressive, giving me about 5-7 hours of continuous use and extended life with the charging case. The case itself is compact and charges quickly using the Lightning cable, which is very convenient.The “Hey Siri” feature and touch controls are incredibly handy. I love being able to control my music and calls hands-free.Overall, the Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) have surpassed my expectations in terms of quality, comfort, and functionality. They’re a fantastic investment for anyone who are Apple user. Highly recommended!

Love it. Love this purse! Nice size amd color!

Very nice product. We replaced an old one that broke. This one is excellent. I researched many but think this one was excellent. The pressure is great. One person reported less but I found there to be more pressure by about a quarter. I can now use the top part to rinse my hair instead of the hand held sprayer. Also, I love the foot option for also cleaning the shower. I can use two options at once but not 3 which is mentioned by other reviewers. My prior old one did allow me to use several of the functions at the same time. This does not…only two at a time which is not a deal killer and I don’t miss that other option. My installer already had this installed (basically it hangs) and had to take it down to change the temperature setting from C to F so do that before you hang it. It’s not working after he did that so I did not have him take it down (I’m bad). Anyway, this looks awesome and works so well. We added a filter on the rainshower part which is great. It uses less shampoo. By the way, I have long hair and this rinses by hair very effectively.

Es un maleta que sin duda por su diseño roba miradas lo único que por definición no puede ser llamada carry on

Good laptop at a good price. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and so far I like it. I got the gray color and I love it. I had another MacBook but the battery needed to be replaced after so much use. The battery in this one lasts several days.

Small But Room Enough To Hold Essentials, While Also Light to Carry Or Wear Cross Body. I am really loving this purse so much that it’s the only one I use now! It holds a large wallet, phone, sunglasses and keys, and lipstick just fine. The shape of the bag actually holds more than I thought it would! I love that it so lightweight! The strap is adjustable and works very well as a crossbody bag. It stays in place even while grocery shopping! I probably wouldn’t give it as a gift, unless I knew for sure that someone wanted a purse this size. But then again, purses are more of a personal choice, and it’s always great to have more than one!

Great AirPods. I needed a new pair of AirPods because my old ones finally bit the dust and these were exactly what I was looking for. They arrived quickly, in pristine condition, and work beautifully.If you are looking for noise cancellation, I would recommend a newer generation of Pros because these only shut out a bit of the noise unless you are absolutely blasting your music. Because they do not have the same design as the Pros with the squishy ear bud, they can sometimes get a little uncomfortable for long periods of wear. I don’t typically spend more than an hour or so with them in, so this is not an issue for me.

Perfect fit. Perfect fit

They are incredibly comfortable for my ears, even during extended listening sessions, making them perfect for long commutes and workouts. The audio quality is outstanding, delivering clear highs and deep bass that enhance my music, podcasts, and calls. Pairing with my devices is seamless, and the connectivity remains consistently reliable with minimal interruptions.The compact design and convenient charging case are great for portability, allowing me to easily slip them into my pocket or bag. The battery life is impressive, providing hours of uninterrupted use, and the quick charging feature ensures they are ready to go when I am. The intuitive touch controls add to the convenience, enabling easy access to various functions without needing to reach for my phone.Overall, the AirPods offer a perfect blend of comfort, quality, and functionality. They have significantly improved my listening experience and have become an essential part of my everyday tech gear. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds!

Perfect bday gift for my son. I bought these for my son’s birthday for him to use on a recent trip out of state. They were great for the plane ride and the long drives and have kept him entertained. Sound quality is fantastic, and we got them in May so it’s been a couple months and they’re still working just as well. He uses them frequently. The price is also great. I will definitely buy another pair of AirPods at some point for a backup for him. Great product, highly recommend over other earphones. They also stay charged for what feels like forever which is really nice because my son forgets to charge them sometimes.

Loved itt. Get product very easy to use and set everything up. Great for the price well worth the money. Battery life last a very long time and charges fast. Very light and easy to carry around.

Great dupe for Fenty. This NYX lip oil is a fantastic find! It’s super moisturizing, just like the Fenty lip oil, but at a much more affordable price. The high shine finish is gorgeous and leaves my lips feeling plump and hydrated. The tint adds a nice bit of color, and it’s become a staple I always carry in my purse for easy touch-ups throughout the day.
