"The app also lets you keep track of food intake for calorie counting. It is a great model for a reasonable price."
Whip up food in a flash with the bestselling Instant Vortex Plus. This handy devices does a little of everything, from air frying to dehydrating and baking. The six-quart capacity is generous, and preset buttons allow you to churn out wings, roasted vegetables and even cinnamon buns fast.
"What a quick and easy way to cook, especially for a two person household," said a happy customer. "And big time savings in my electric bill, too as I have an electric range/oven. Clean-up is so easy, as soon as I'm done cooking, I place the air fryer drawer into the sink and fill it with soap and water. It cleans very quickly."
The Echo Show 8 has a compact display, making it the perfect countertop companion or stocking stuffer! And thanks to the built-in Alexa, it doubles as a mini entertainment hub. Access videos, TV shows, movies or the news with Prime Video, Hulu, NBC and more, plus listen to internet radio stations, podcasts and audiobooks via Amazon Music, Spotify and Audible.
"My mom, who’s in a a long-term care facility, has slowly but surely caught on to using this device," shared a caring daughter. "She’s so thankful to have her friend Alexa to tell her the weather and jokes, play oldies music, find a movie on Netflix, or call me. I am thankful for the drop-in feature so I can check in on her and video chat, and I also send through pictures of her grandkids to the display, which she loves."
If you're still using a manual toothbrush, you're missing out. This is a great deal for a dental hygiene upgrade — it's a set of two brushes, replacement heads and travel cases.
"The bestttttttt electric toothbrushes!" shared a very enthusiastic five-star fan. "My husband and I both had Phillips or sonic toothbrushes and they had no power! This one we were iffy about because never heard of brand but omg, totally worth it! So much power; our teeth feel soooo clean!"
If you want a deeper audio experience, some people swear by on-ear headphones. JBL's Tune 510BTs offer the brand's signature Pure Bass sound and have wireless Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. They also have workhorse of a battery, which gives you up to 40 hours of listening time on a single charge. And if you have holiday travel plans, they're perfect for planes.
“These are very good headphones, and I don't just mean based on the price,” said one shopper. “These are all-around great headphones! I had Beats for four years that just fell apart. Searched on a budget and decided on these, and I don't feel like I am sacrificing at all. Very comfortable. Not tight on my head at all. I travel on airplanes twice a month, so I wear these for hours on end. No earache or head pressure.”
