Philips 5500 Coffee Machine Reviews

Thanks to this transformer now  I may use my beloved Italian coffee grinding and coffee machine

This unit packs a punch considering its size and weight. It powered everything we threw at it, even our coffee machine, one at the time of course.

I bought it for my Commercial Semi Truck, I used for microwave and coffee machine two weeks with same charge, really very usable.

One of the amazing product from philips. Great

For the price, this product works great and fits my ProMaster 5500 flash great.

You can use it to prop up your busted coffee table.

nicely fits 5500 w/ 18-300, flash, batteries, & filter. plus looks cool, not girly...dnm

My only complaint is it does not make my coffee in the morning while afield.

There isn't much I can say about this machine that hasn't already been noted in any one of a thousand reviews you can find online. It's fast, light, beautifully assembled, the works. Criticisms noted elsewhere are things I can see being issues depending on your situation, but they personally don't bother me. I'm sure I'm far from the typical case because I waited 13 years to replace my old machine, a 2008 iMac. Due to interface snappiness alone, I don't know if the gap between iOS and macOS has ever felt closer. Again I'm atypical, because I've been averaging about a week between charges. It will be interesting to see how much advancement each generation of the M processor packs in, because something tells me this machine will stay viable for a long, long time, and I'll probably be one to find out.

I needed to set up an external hard drive to use with Time Machine. Too many choices. Too many manufacturers. And then when i started to looking at reviews and pricing, well, that just muddied the decision making process. Finally, I decided that I would go with a WD product because I had great experience with their products and support.But WD still had a slew of external drives to choose from. After watching the reviews for the passport online (including CNET.), I decided on the Passport Ultra Metal. I called WD to get additional information about what the benefit of having an aluminum enclosure was (I was told that it helps dissipate heat faster than plastic) and decided to get the Ultra Metal.I decided to get the 10th anniversary one (supposedly gold but I actually can't seem a color cast on it -- it looks silver to me) to make it distinguishable from other people's external drives if I brought it with me and then inadvertently put it down on a desk and we couldn't disguise whose drive was whose (there were only a limited number of anniversary drives manufactured).I've had it about 10 days now and it seems like a great drive: it's small (about 1.5x the size of a deck of cards), quiet, and should have enough capacity (1T -- I partitioned the drive so I could use the other 1T as a general backup) for my Time Machine backup.I have no experience with the WD software that comes with the drive as a download from the WD site because I'm using a Mac.But so far I'm extremely pleased with the drive.
