Installed

Pros: Win 8.1 is fully installed and upgraded. Have my printer and one game installed. Trying to get another 1 or 2 additional games installed. loaded with 4 dimms for 16 GB of memory. One solid state drive and one 500 GB HD. 8350 CPU with wraith cooler. Also 1 DVD drive and 1 memory card reader.
Overall Review: hope for long life as is.
Binoculars

Pros: magnification for small binoculars
Cons: I can't get one image with these. So probably only use them with one eye.
Monitor

Pros: Trying to protect my eyes with the low blue light feature. Wanted the higher refresh rate too, but I haven't been able to test that yet.
Overall Review: Low cost and good features.
Norton 360 Deluxe 2025 - 5 devices
![Norton 360 Deluxe 2026, Antivirus software for 5 Devices with Auto-Renewal – Includes Advanced AI Scam Protection, VPN & PC Cloud Backup [Download]](https://c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImageCompressAll125/32-377-992-12.jpg)
Pros: I like the ability to get a link for new downloads on different devices. In the old days I would have to type my key in on other computers. I think my Windows Explorer is working better now. I used to use AVG and it would freeze quite often when I was searching for files. Norton seems to not freeze it.
Cons: I've only had time to run one scan. I have about 338 GB on my C drive and the scan was showing it had scanned over 500 GB of files and was taking a couple of hours and seemed to be stuck on 99% complete. I know I have zipped files, but I don't believe I have over 100GB+ of zips. So I stopped the scan with no viruses found.
Overall Review: Happy and concerned per above comments.
Induction cooker

Pros: I had a Nuwave that worked for years that finally kicked the bucket. The Rosewill was less expensive so I went with it. Seems like quality construction. Been using if for about a week. You can change wattage with the +/- or scroll through the pictures with +/-. each picture seems to use a different wattage. Of course there is a timer and temperature settings too. Should be good for the small chickens I cook in my stove top / induction pressure cooker.
Cons: my only concern is the number of quarts the instructions say the cooker can hold (2.64). I like to cook soup which can use about 6 quarts which may be outside the cooker's limit.
Overall Review: I like it. Hopefully it will function as long as the extended warranty I purchased for it.
Works

Pros: Placed it in a camera. I've only taken a few picures and a short video of my aunts dog. But they downloaded to my computer fine.
Overall Review: so far so good.
high pressure blower
I have a computer from 2013 that I use every day. I've vacuumed the power supply fans and exhaust fans numerous times. But when I shot the blower in the case, dust went everywhere. I'm pretty sure my components are happier now. :)
