2 stars on Amazon. Reviews all say to avoid that brand.

[[The man and woman are now both looking at their phones.]]

Man: This one has good reviews.

Woman: Wait, one guy says when he plugged it in, he got a metallic taste in his mouth and his cats went deaf.

Man: Eek. What about – …no, review points out it resembles a uterus.

[[The man is still looking at his phone, the woman has hers at her side.]]

Woman: You know, our room looks fine in the dark.
