Promising review: "I love this burger press! Whether it's to fill with cheese, bacon, jalapenos, or whatever, this is an awesome tool for grilling season! Even if you aren't interested in stuffed burgers, it helps with making burger patties. Burgers are perfectly sculpted and your hands don't get completely covered in raw beef. But be sure to spray some Pam inside the press on the walls and the base, otherwise it's a major pain getting the patty to come loose." —AGonzales7

Promising review: "I love this tent so much! I sleep in it with my four kids when we camp. I fits two queen mattresses and a toddler mattress in it and I sleep on a bed roll. It would fit three queen air mattresses side by side I believe. The airflow is great and the ease of setting up is amazing. I'm the sole adult and I have no problem having this up in five minutes and down in 10. I love the gear pockets inside for stashing flashlights, etc. It has openings for an electrical cord that work really well and has sturdy hooks in the roof supports for fans/lamps that make a huge difference. This is a great family tent —being able to show up at our site and know I've got everything I need (no poles to go missing!) and know I can have shelter up with a minimum of cursing within a few minutes of arrival takes so much stress out of the trip!" —Melissa G.

Promising review: "The commercial where the daughter burns the dinner before her date arrives and her dad helps her out via video on the Echo Show literally makes me tear up every time. My dad is not able to help me with things like that. He has dementia and has trouble walking. I am his daughter, but live six hours away from his nursing home. We used to talk on the phone all the time, but now he has trouble answering his cell phone and indeed yesterday left it in his pants, washed it and the cell phone died. I could not talk to him as I wanted. He was not able to answer video calls via Alexa without me reminding him on his cell to push the answer button. But now, thanks to the Drop-In feature I can just video call him anytime without him having to answer and the nurses have left a note telling him what to say so he can drop in on me and his two beautiful granddaughters when he wants. Now, we spend hours together. It is nothing short of a miracle to see his and my face and his granddaughters faces light up as he is able to interact with my family EVERY SINGLE DAY. You have brought our lives JOY and i cannot thank you enough for this innovative technology and the ease with which to operate it. My kids and family adore every single feature and we are getting to know more and more about what it can do. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of our hearts." —Amazon Review

Promising review: "I have used these glasses for several months now and they work great. They are perfect for in-flight naps as they really do block out the light. If you fit the glasses close to your face, there is very little light that filters through. They are light and comfortable, without all the annoying straps from a sleep mask — and look stylish too. I have purchased a few more as gifts." —Jeff C.

This excellent book series is written by different authors about the creation and/or impact of a specific album. Disparate artists covered include acts like Dinosaur Jr., Jawbreaker, Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails, and Sleater-Kinney. As of now there are 135, so there's probably an artist addressed that your dad seriously digs.

Promising review: "I preordered this to replace my last generation Kindle. I read a lot and mostly in three areas — outside in the sun, in bed in no light, and indoors during the day. I like the ease of adjusting the backlight as needed to read in the different environment. I don’t know what could be included in the next iteration of the Paperwhite as this one is about perfect." —Mike

Promising review: "I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this specific Roomba — and I have to say, I am IMPRESSED! I love this thing, seriously. After just a few days of use my floors are cleaner than they have ever been.
Let me give you a little background: I have a big ol' hairy lab mix, two long-haired cats, a bunny rabbit, and two very long-haired humans (including myself) who lose a lot of hair over the course of a day. Everyday at 7 p.m. my Roomba, which I have named "Dumb A**", navigates itself through my apartment cleaning as it goes. After just a few days having it I have watched it slowly map out my home. The first two cycles it went through it was very confused. It ran into things and zig-zagged around for about an hour and then called for help because it was lost. I am ashamed to say that during these first few cycles I had to empty the bin SEVEN TIMES and I had just cleaned prior to using it. Since then it navigates around furniture pretty seamlessly and covers the whole floor in about an hour. I was worried it wouldn't be able to clean my thick shag area rug but it has had no problem climbing up onto it and going to town.
It picks up so much frickin' pet hair. oh-my-god. This little robot vacuum has changed the way I clean — hopefully for a long time. I highly recommend!" —Rachel

Promising review: "Pickle juice ice pops, who'da thought it? But yeah, I am on a diet that has me constantly looking to replenish my electrolytes. I take electrolyte replacement liquid drops but this is an easy and tasty way to get more potassium, which is always a challenge. Each of these pops claims to replenish 2% each of your RDA of potassium, magnesium and calcium (in pickle juice?!?!?) and is a tangy, cooling, zero-calorie, zero-carb treat to boot. Win-win-win." —Jack_and_Lois_in_TX

Promising review: "Definitely a two person assembly. The nice thing about it — unlike other bikes I have had to put together, most of the major components where already assembled. The directions are very basic. The nuts/screws are already at the location that they need to be, so you just take out the screw and then immediately reuse it in that spot for the item component that you are installing. I was thrown off by this at first as I was hunting for a bag of nuts/bolts and was worried about it being lost, but then we noticed they are already on the bike. The color is very nice — well-made bike. Purchased it for my father to ride around his neighborhood, he has had it for a few days and loves it." —Todd
