Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege to publish a couple dozen notes and reviews here on Product Dork. It hasn’t been a full year, but I thought I would do a round-up of the top reviews so far on Product Dork.
This list is not perfect. Items that have been published longer, like my notes on the Airmega, have a bit of advantage here. In either case, I thought it would be interesting.
5. The Best Shave Club (And Why You Should Avoid It)
[Best-Shave-Club-And-Why-You-Shouldn't-Join-One]
What makes the best shave club? If you’re looking to ditch the high prices of traditional razor blades and are looking for a subscription service, look no further than Dollar Shave Club’s 4x . It’s cheap and provides a great shave. If you’re willing to pay slightly more and want a razor with a trimmer blade, Harry’s 5-blade Truman is a better value than the DSC Executive .
And then again, maybe you shouldn’t join one. If you don’t mind ditching …
4. The Sony a6300
Sony Alpha’s a6300 is a fantastic mid-range camera. It’s the camera I would recommend to beginners getting more serious about photography . It’s small, reliable and provides great-quality RAW photos.
Purchase considerations
Sony’s a6000 series was the clear winner once I decided I was going to abandon DSLR models for mirrorless cameras. At the time there were three cameras to consider the a6500 , a6300 and a6000 .
The a6300 was a significant improvement over the a6000. Most notably the bump from …
3. Panasonic EgroFit Earbuds
I had a pair of headphones die yesterday. Generally, that isn't great grounds for writing a post about its quality. However, the Panasonic EgroFit Headphones (RP-HJE120) might be the best cheap headphones you can find on Amazon—or anywhere for that matter.

The best cheap earbuds
Panasonic's EgroFit earbuds have decent sound, excellent comfort at an unbelievable price. They are much better than many alternatives costing 2 to 4 times as much.

2. Moto G5s Plus
I have spent the last month with the Moto G5s Plus and can say that it is an exceptional phone. It’s fast, has a decent camera and the best battery life of any smartphone I’ve seen. The phone has it’s flaws, but it is difficult to imagine a better option for the money.

Update November 27, 2018 - Changing Phones: After much deliberation, I’ve decided to make the switch to the Google Pixel 3. I’ve owned many models in the Moto G lineup starting with the Moto G3. They have served me wel…
1. Compairing the Coway Airmega 300 and 400
This is a comparison post for the Airmega 300 and 400 air purifiers. I’ve written a few additional notes here, but make sure you check out the full review.
[Coway%20Airmega%20300%20vs%20400]
Since discovering I have some seasonal allergies about two years ago, I’ve been looking for a decent air purifier. My place is a large studio, about 850 sq ft, and it’s mostly one room. I was looking for a few things:
Capable of purifying coverage for about 700 sq ft
Attractive—something I wouldn’t fe…
What do you all think? Is there a favorite review that didn’t make the list?

As a side note all the research I put into learning about toilets didn’t get much traction, but it might be my favorite post of the year.
This guide to help you find the best toilet for your needs is a work in progress. My goal is to provide a starting point for anyone looking to make this purchase. Hopefully, my knowledge can help others get a head start.
I recently purchased an old condo. It was an old office building from the 1950s that was converted into lofts about 25 years ago. I loved the location and saw that the place had a ton of potential. But like all places like that, it needed a bunch of work.
One of the things on …
FWIW, I didn’t end up purchasing and installing a new toilet quite yet. Will reconsider when I update my bathroom counter and cabinets—possibly some time next year.

I thought this guide was pretty funny! Who writes a guide when deciding if they are going to buy a toilet? Good job!
