Excellent product
on June 10, 2017

This new coffee maker from DeLonghi sure has it all. If you're looking forward to enjoying your coffee, then look no further. While I am no coffee expert, the quality of the brewed coffee is quite obvious. To begin, the coffee brewed into the pot is as expected. I can come in fast if you're in a hurry, or you can select the 1-4 option to let it take its time and give you a much more rich taste. The auto warm function does not burn the brewed coffee, and keeps it at a nice drinkable temperature. It comes with a reusable filter, but I still use paper filters since it's much easier to clean.
On the left side, is the espresso machine. This was a fun experiment for me, since I have not used one before. I will say that the provided instructions were not very clear. It took a while before I knew what the correct amount of coffee to put in the filter was. Once you get it working though, the coffee brewed basically tastes the same as one from a coffee shop. One thing I want to commend DeLonghi for is how easy it is to clean up the machine. Basically everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, the coffee touches, you can clean.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this coffee maker to my friends and family in a heartbeat.

Good with some quirks
on June 10, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
The Dedica is a nice coffee grinder, but there are certainly a couple of quality of life things that could have made this perfect. For the most part, it does its job. What I really like about this grinder is the granularity in grinding my beans. I can select how fine to grind, as well as have preselected cup sizes. This becomes very helpful if you like to grind and brew immediately without needing to store for later. While that is nice, it kind of becomes useless because I am unable to grind directly into a filter/custom holder. I have to use their included jar, because that's what presses the activation buttons in the grinder to allow it to work. I have used many other grinders in my life, and this one makes the most mess. Because the jar comes in contact with the grinder, removing when finished will cause enough vibrations that the extra coffee will now fall out and get all of your counter. I have not had one grinding session without needing to clean up... how frustrating! Overall, the quality of the machine itself is certainly built quite well. The grounded coffee comes out fantastic, and its definitely built to last. I would recommend this based on that alone, but know what you're getting in to. If you can look past the slight hassle of using this grinder, then it is a must buy.

Excellent Windows Tablet
on May 30, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
The Samsung Galaxy Book is an excellent tablet that stands proudly on its own pedestal among the sea of Windows 10 tablets available on the market today. It combines performance, portability, and usability all in one without many sacrifices being made. This is an amazing tablet, and here's why you should consider buying one:
PROS --
It is very lightweight. Compared to the Surface, you can barely feel its presence in your laptop bag. Another pro is its screen aspect ratio. Unlike most tablets that uses the usual 16:9 aspect ratio, this tablet has a 3:2 aspect ratio, making it more square. While maybe not idea for movies if you want the full picture, it makes it feel more like using table rather than a small monitor. I can easily use this in portrait mode to browse the web without feeling squished in by the sides. In addition to that, the screen supports a massive 2160x1440 resolution, and it does it without stuttering. The newest intel i5 processor coupled with their integrated graphics more than handles snappy response times from dragging things across the screen, and watch movies. I was even able to stream my steam games without any lag as well. What surprised me even more was how well the measly 4gb of ram handled my demands. I was quite skeptical, since on startup that OS was already using more than half of that. However, things performed as it should without much lag. In my opinion, I would go for that 8gb model just so there's more room to run more demanding applications. The Galaxy Book comes with a keyboard (which doubles as a case) and pen. The pen requires no batteries, which is super convenient. Again, response times are next to nothing as I am able to write fluidly with the pen.
CONS --
There really are not that many cons at all. The largest one being the stability of the keyboard case is not that great. You get a choice of 4 stances, but you'll really one use 2 of them. On top of that, it is very hard to type on your lap. Without a solid surface to use the Galaxy Book with, you're better off using it as a tablet with the onscreen keyboard. The battery boasts 10 hours of use, but I have not come close to that. An average web browsing session with 60% brightness seems to only last about 6 hours. I only came close to the 10 hours after going super battery saving mode, but then it really isn't an enjoyable experience. However, it does charge quite quickly, even while you are using it.
Overall, I give Samsung's Galaxy Book a 5/5 stars. It provides the user with all the necessary things to work on the go. While disappointing that the base model is only 4gb of ram, it is sufficient enough to not hamper your basic tablet experience.

It's OK
on May 10, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
The Belkin WeMo dimmer light switch is a product that is just adequate. It functions reliably, but does nothing else to exceed expectations. There are just enough nuisances that I cannot justify giving it higher than three stars out of five. To begin, let's talk about the pros, because there are some:
PROS -
To my surprise, it was actually quite easy to set up. I like the idea of the screwless faceplate, and the instructions were very straight forward. Connecting the switch to the network took a few tries, but they were to the point when it failed - this saves a lot of wait time. The switch itself was also able to work with LED lights, including ones which I had problems with dimming in the past. Overall, very good experience on that end. The switch itself was way more configurable via the app, which includes things such as a timer, night mode for dimmer lights at night, sleep timer, and even the option to simulate someone being home. All of these features are easily configurable through the app.
CONS -
There are two things that truly annoy me with this light switch. First, is the switch itself. I cannot understand why I am able to adjust the brightness levels when the lights are off. The amount of times I have accidentally adjusted my preferred brightness because I was looking for the switch in the dark, or accidentally touched the lowest setting, is too high. I really wish they would change this in the future because it is completely frustrating having to fidget with the dimmer until it's correct again. My second complaint, is the app itself. The version I'm using is on Android, and it is very unresponsive. Usually, in most apps, there is feedback to let the user know that you've pressed the buttons and they are working. Here, however, because pressing anything takes at least a second to respond, it has become a waiting game to see if the app has died or it's running slowly. Using the app to turn on my lights takes more than a second. I can adjust temperatures on my WiFi thermostat faster than I can turn on my lights. You can also guess that dimming lights with the app is pain. Want to see if your brightness level is correct? Well, you better wait a second between each adjustment before anything happens. I don't see why it has to take this long, because I can dim the lights instantaneously with the switch. My only assumption is that the light rely on Belkin servers to do its thing before the actions are applied on the switch. If that's the case, then that's highly inefficient. If I'm at home, then the lights should turn on, and then send information to the server.
In the end, it is an advanced piece of technology that really should have gone through some more quality assurance before releasing to the public. If you must have a WiFi controlled dimmable light switch, then yes, it is a decent product. However, I would hold off until a new firmware is released, or version 2.0.

This Oral-B Pro 6000 electric toothbrush with Bluetooth allows the brush to connect with your smartphone to give you real-time feedback on your brushing habits. The advanced design of the CrossAction toothbrush head surrounds each tooth with bristles angled at 16 degrees, and 3D cleaning action oscillates, rotates, and pulsates to break up and remove more plaque. The pressure sensor lights up, if you brush too hard to prevent harmful over-brushing and there are 5 modes and a timer to help you brush for a dentist-recommended time.

Highly Recommend
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
I previously owned the Oral-B 3000, which in my opinion was a very good tooth brush. It is still going strong after 4 years of continuous use. However, this was the model before Bluetooth was integrated with it, so really, the Oral-B 6000 should be a nice upgrade. It includes everything the 3000 had, as well as a couple more brushing modes. I really like being able to see which mode I am on, rather than guessing like I did with the 3000. The extended battery life was also very noticeable. On the 3000 model, after about 3-4 uses, you can feel the power draining out of the toothbrush. It was quite disappointing, since it had advertised a 7 day battery lift. However, with this 6000 model, even when there was only 1 bar left, the power never diminished. It was oscillating as fast as it had with full charge. As an electric toothbrush, this definitely gets 5 stars.
So it really comes down to how useful the bluetooth option is. As someone who loves to monitor stats and usages, I am strongly biased into liking the app. You can monitor each of your sessions, and feel confident that you've done your duty. However, in my opinion, it is more or less kind of pointless. If you brush everyday, you don't need to log your time since it's 2 minutes of brushing every time. So really, it's just so you can brag to your dentist about your consistent dental hygiene practices if he ever tells you you're not flossing enough.

The app itself was very helpful, in that it was more than just a log and timer for brushing sessions. You're able to view tips about brushing, and keep your dentist information in there as well. I kind of wish I could have been able to try their brush position detection, since it kept reminding my to try it out. But, I did not have the plastic phone holders for my mirror. I am actually a little disappointed that Oral-B did not include them with the package.
Overall, I have always been a fan of Oral-B's electric toothbrushes, and I'm an even bigger fan now after having tried the 6000 model. I would highly recommend to anyone that has never used an electric toothbrush before, or are on the fence about switching, to definitely consider using one from Oral-B. Their recommend brushing method of each tooth at a time basically guarantees and consistent and complete brushing every time.

Decently Satisfied
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
This is without a doubt, one of the best Hair Dryers I have used. The best part about this dryer was being able to retain moisture in my hair longer after using it. Most other hair dryers I have used in the past always left me with coarse and frizzy hair, but this had the opposite effect. My hair stayed smooth and shiny for the rest of the day. The hair dryer itself was quite quiet when operating, which is nice. The only downside is that it is a little heavier than my previous hair dryer, but not by much. Another thing to note, is that slight smell of burning plastic at the beginning, but seems to have faded away after multiple uses. I would definitely recommend this hair dryer to those looking for an upgraded performance than the usual $30 dryers - it really does make a difference!

Usable, but not needed.
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
The charging cradle is an interesting specimen. It is basically a charging port for your Soundlink Revolve, so that you don't have to struggle with plugging in a wire to charge. Instead, you can just plop your Revolve onto it, and it will start charging. You can still use your speaker while charging, which is nice. I would have liked to see it come with an extra wire/adapter, but it is what it is. So then comes the question of: Should you buy this charging cradle? Only if you care about the asthetics of where you charge your speaker, and/or hate having to plug in a wire every time. For me personally, it was not particularily useful.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. SoundLink Revolve+, the best-performing portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose, delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 16 hours.

Good, but could be better
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
To be honest, I was not quite sure what to expect from the Bose Soundlink Revolve+. There are many wireless bluetooth speakers out on the market today, so to see one made by Bose, I was expecting to be amazed. For the most part, I was. But there were a few qualities that fell short and could have been improved on.
PROS:
The speaker itself it decently sized. There is a handle that allows you to easily carry the speaker around effortlessly. Don't let the size dissuade you though, because this speaker packs quite a punch. It plays music at a decent volume at half settings, and at around 75%, it becomes deafeningly loud. In addition to that, the advertised 16 hours of battery life is no lie - your phone will probably die before this speaker runs out of juice. I like how there is an AI that tells you what device is connected, as well as the battery level. The buttons aren't stiff and are responsive. Overall, it is a solidly built wireless speaker.
CONS:
One major con is of course the sound quality. I believe that everyone's perception to hearing is all subjective, however, it is undeniable that the sound produced was not as clear as one would have expected. The bass is very lacking, which I can excuse since it is such a small speaker. However, the trebles seem to be attached with hint of bass that prevents it from being as crisp as it should be. Instead of clearly hearing individual notes being played, I hear a slurred treble line and degrades the quality of the piece. While I mentioned earlier that this speaker can go loud, it does not necessarily mean that it should. At louder volumes, it becomes obvious that it is pushing its limits.
In summary, it's not a bad speaker. If you're looking for a portable speaker for a small party, then this is a great choice. However, if you're looking to listen and enjoy your music, then perhaps look for something with better sound quality.

Amazing Vacuum!
on March 16, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
This is the first Dyson vacuum that I have owned, and I have to say that after years of owning multiple vacuums, this one sure takes the cake. This vacuum combines mobility and power without having to sacrifice anything in either department. The way this vacuum moves takes a little getting used to, but compared to the generic vacuums, it makes pivoting around corners and tight spaces extremely easy. All you have to do is twist, and the vacuum turns. No more having to awkwardly shift the vacuum and miss spots. They way that the vacuum can detect your carpet level is also an interesting concept. You also have the ability to switch off the scrubber when vacuuming bare floors. The suction from this vacuum is unmatched. I don't own the friendliest of carpets and it usually take two passes to remove all the dirt, but the Dyson basically did it in one. Even the detachable hose maintains its suction power. The amazing part is how light weight this vacuum is. I hate having to awkwardly lug a heavy vacuum up and down the starts but this Dyson weighs only 15 pounds and has a convenient handle to carry the vacuum with.
This Dyson vacuum has many perks, and I really only have one complaint with it. Because it is so lightweight, using the detachable hose can be frustrating sometimes because the vacuum will tend to follow the hose instead of staying in place. Compared to how great this vacuum is, this is a very petty complaint and seems like something that would be difficult to solve without making the vacuum heavier.
Overall, I am completely satisfied with my Dyson vacuum. I have no problems recommending this product to anyone looking for a quality vacuum that beats out all the other generic brands in the market.

Good, but could be better
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: Leonardo
There are many good things to say about these headphones, but only after you've had the patience to configure them correctly. For starters, the earpieces are very customizable. It comes with 4 different sets of sizes that are most likely guaranteed to fit your ear. But the problem is that changing between them is quite the challenge. You can't just easily pop them off and pop another on like you would expect. Instead, you have to wrestle with the rubber ear piece trying to fit the entire plastic headphone through a tiny rubber hole. At least you only have to do this once though. I recommend trying the earpieces in your ear before changing them. After that is done, it also took a while to find the 'perfect' position in my ear. Sometimes, it felt as if one ear was fully covered, and the other was not. However, I finally noticed that there were instructions on how to put them on. You have to put them in at a slight angle forwards, then twist the ear pieces back into to place. That does seem to do the trick - most of the time at least. The last setup you have to do is getting the heart rate monitor to work. This is probably the least painful step in the entire setup process.
After all is said and done, the headphone itself is quite decent. They fit snugly in your ear with not movement at all. The wire that connects the two is, in my opinion, at a perfect length. It comes with a tiny clip that you can clip to the back of your shirt to prevent even more movement of the wire. I really like the controls being on a separate piece other than on the earpieces, as that means changing songs won't move the earpieces itself which can cause some discomfort. You can easily check your heart rate by tapping on the right ear piece, and a voice will tell you your heart rate. It would have been nice to be able to turn the volume of it down because it is very loud. Since you have to be connected to your phone to use it, I don't see why they couldn't set the volume on the same level as your bluetooth volume. The sound quality of your music probably won't blow your mind away, but it's not bad. You could probably achieve good sound isolation after you've found the perfect position for the earpieces, but I was unable to do so.
Overall, the JBL Under Armour Wireless In-Ear Headphones are not bad. They take a while to set up, but after you've given them enough patience, they're a very nice pair of headphones. I would recommend it to anyone that does not have a heart rate monitor device (fitbit, smartwatch) and would like a pair of quality wireless headphones.

This Insignia™ NS-BK1TSS6 kegerator/beverage cooler holds either a 1/2 keg or a 1/4 slim keg and features an adjustable thermostat, so you can easily keep your favorite drinks cold. Two wire shelves help you maintain organization.
 

Is it true Miller Lite kegs do not fit into this Kegerator?

All that matters is what size the keg is. Shouldn't matter if it is Coors, Pabst, Miller, etc. This kegerator fits up to a 1/2 barrel keg (15.5gal).

If you get a 1/2 barrel keg and fill it with Miller Lite, it will fit into the Kegerator, but the Kegerator will disapprove of your beer choice, as will anybody with any self-respect.

What do I need?

Hi- I just want to get a wireless router for my home that will allow me to connect with a Droid, iPhone, and laptop for internet and email downloads. I also need LAN cord output to connect directly to my DVD player for Netflix. I use Comcast. I have NO idea what specs or type of modem I need. Can someone help?
You should be able to find the list of compatible Comcast modems on their website. For the most part, an entry level modem such as the ARRIS SURFboard SB6121 should do the trick. This modem supports up to 174Mbps download, which is more than what most people have anyways. You can usually find these cheap-ish when on sale, since it's very popular.

How do you charge the powerpack? Do you plug it into your computer?

Yes, you can plug it into a computer's USB or into a much faster USB wall adapter. Computer USB's output at a max of 0.9A which means it could take a while to fully charge it. Your standard wall USB adapter for your mobile devices will likely work much better. Anything with a 1.0A to 2.1A range should charge this battery pack relatively quickly.
