A next level fan best used with the Dyson App!
on April 21, 2020
Posted by: Bren

It is hard to know exactly where to begin but suffice it to say that this is honestly one of the most unique and fully featured multi-function fans I have seen. To call it a fan is coarse, really, as it is much much more than just a fan. It humidifies, purifies, and all around circulates air in a way that you have to feel and smell more than just read about.
As a fan, it excels. It has 10 different speeds of fan strength and can also be set to a backward airflow mode to simply humidify and purify the air in your room(s) without cooling; very useful for the colder months. It also has an auto mode so it can increase and decrease the speed to filter and maintain air purity. Furthermore, it has a nighttime mode that turns the fan down to a quieter setting and dims the screen so has not to disturb you in the dark. It has three oscillation modes: 45º, 90º, and my favorite, breeze mode which imitates an indirect to direct shifting breeze just like if you were sitting out on your favorite patio chair on a breezy afternoon.
As a purifier, this thing is fully speced out. I won’t needlessly copy and paste all of the specific filter specifications, but I will say that the real time number read out both on the actual screen of the device and on the smartphone app is awesome for knowing how your air purity is doing; I included some screen shots to show what that info looks like on the application. The app is also helpful as it lets you know how your air filter is doing on efficacy and when you will need to replace it. I am not sure how accurate this will actually be or whether it will just be used to make you buy relatively expensive filter replacements more often than is truly needed, but I am trusting it as a useful guide to know when to start thinking about replacement. Beyond just purifying the air that flows in and out of this machine, they even use an ultraviolet cleanse technology to kill bacteria in the water that is used for humidification.
As a humidifier, this has some of the best listed features I have seen to maintain the humidity in the spaces this machine influences. As I mentioned above, the water that gets aerosolized for humidification is exposed to ultraviolet light to kill bacteria. Additionally, this machine unlike other competitors aerosolizes the water to such a small size that they cannot carry germs. There is no mist that comes out of the machine, so it is safe to be in close proximity to moisture sensitive items like books. The humidification can be adjusted by percentage to meet your needs (awesome for a room where, for example, one might keep wooden instruments sensitive to humidity range) and it has an automatic mode to maintain the humidity. Mine is set to maintain 50% and turns on and off the humidifier function accordingly to maintain this. The 1-gallon water reservoir is generous and easy to remove and fill with water. The specs state that in auto mode, the tank can give you roughly 15 hours depending on the humidity levels of your rooms. For example, the outside air is about 57% in my area in the Spring right now, so the auto mode probably would last many more hours. I haven’t had the fan on long enough in one straight go yet to test this. An additional cool feature the app has is that you can choose whether your water is hard, soft, or in between, and it will tell you how many hours of humidification you can go before needing to do a deep clean cycle. On hard water, it is looking like 650 hours or so is how long I have to go. The machine is able to do this clean cycle itself with the use of citric acid powder that they include three cycles worth of in the box! The instructions on how to do this are included right on the reservoir and can be looked up online too, so don’t worry that you won’t be able to figure it out.

This is the fan for the modern-minded individual who is comfortable with electronics and enjoys the ability to use applications on their phone and smart assistants like Siri and Alexa to control their electronics. The Dyson app connected to this fan super smoothly as I followed the instruction prompts and now has given me total real-time control of this fan. Even with just the included remote, the fan is great and will benefit anyone interested in its use!
Overall, I cannot recommend this machine enough. Thanks for reading and I hope it helps to get you excited about the awesome purchase you are about to make!

Lazy bachelor approved. Awesome cleanup tool!
on April 17, 2020
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
As a single guy living on my own, I try to keep things pretty neat in my living space. I don’t make too many messes, but I do still have hardwood floors and linoleum bathroom and laundry room flooring that need swept and mopped on a regular basis. This Vacmop is like the ultimate time saver. The vacuum function is quite peppy and makes quick work of stray crumbs and lint. The vacuum is not loud or high-pitched sounding as I expected either. If I had napping kids or babies in another room, I would not be concerned about waking them up with the noise level of this vacmop. The mop function of the included pads is robust and works really well to wipe up muddy boot prints in the laundry room and to cleanup other miscellaneous messes. The vacmop pads are interesting in that they are an all in one disposable dust-bin (for the vacuuming) and mop pad. So essentially, when the dust bin gets full and/or the mop pad gets saturated and dirty, it means it is time to replace the pad.
The only concerns I will have in the long term of using this is how affordable the vacmop pads and the mop fluid are as well as how well the rechargeable battery holds up over time. I do prefer the internal rechargeable battery to the batteries you have to replace in a traditional Swiffer mop, though.
Overall, for the price and the flexibility and utility of this little vacmop, I am impressed. Definitely a nice tool for cleanup of quick messes or the maintenance of smaller, hard-flooring abodes like my bachelor pad condo!

Amazing feel, amazing value
on April 1, 2020
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
If I had to sum up this review in one sentence, it is that at 100 dollars, this keyboard comes jam-packed with features and quality that make it a supremely good choice for anyone looking for a new keyboard! I will be happy to explain why I feel this is true though!
Here is what I think you need to know before you make a purchasing decision:
-The hybrid-mechanical blue (clicky) switches feel and sound amazing. I have a fair bit of experience with keyboards, and I would say the discernable difference of feel between this and a regular keyboard is that there is perhaps a bit softer of a bump at the bottom of the keystroke. I can type on this keyboard as fast as I can with any of my keyboards and I love how it feels. It is a genuine mechanical switch and cap as well, so you can replace these caps with most compatible Cherry MX keycaps.
-The material used is great. The caps do not feel cheap at all, I like the bold, large font, and the frame is made of aluminum! It may not be the brushed aluminum of higher-end keyboards like my Logitech G513, but it still looks and feels like high-quality material.
-Individual RGB programmable keys using the Steelseries Engine software. The thing I love about these keys, and I must emphasize, is that the secondary key functions are lit up as well! That means in the dark, unlike a lot of traditional big-name mechanical keyboards, you can actually see the secondary functions like the asterisk symbol, semicolon, etc. that you may not have memorized if you are an average typist. This is a huge deal to me and I want to make sure people know this.
-The OLED screen is actually pretty fun! I downloaded some GIFs off of the internet to experiment with and sure enough, through the Steelseries engine software, you get to upload compatible GIFs and see them displayed on your keyboard's little OLED screen; that is kind of fun and the status updates and Discord connection that are forthcoming should be cool too!
-This has a dedicated volume scroll wheel and button that acts as a play/pause button or whatever you would prefer to program either as. Having dedicated multimedia buttons at this price point is awesome, especially considering that many higher-end keyboards from competitors don't even included this at a much higher cost!

Overall I am super happy with this keyboard. I will say that they are apparently updating the Steelseries Engine 3 software and boy, does it need it. It is functional and smooth, but there are only a fraction of the amount of customizable patterns available for the RGB that other companies like Razer and Logitech have. The only room for improvements for the keyboard itself I can think of like USB-A passthrough and a braided USB cable would launch this out of the awesome price-point this is at. If you can afford to build a $1000 dollar PC, you can afford to purchase a $100 dollar keyboard to compliment it. Remember that PCs are like cars. You can have a really souped-up engine, but if the tires suck, it ruins the ride. If your mouse and keyboard suck, then the PC is just not going to feel right. Spend some money and get something awesome like this Apex 5!

An excellent, high-refresh rate 1080p Monitor!
on March 20, 2020
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
I am altogether very happy with this monitor! Asus has once again proved itself in providing quality monitors at a price that makes since in the budget of a frugality-minded gamer. But this monitor goes beyond gaming alone, with its gorgeous IPS panel, it makes since in the setting of a multi-monitor content creation rig which is what I will be employing it for down the road! Here are some of the things I like and dislike listed out:
Like:
-144hz refresh panel
-IPS Panel; great viewing angles and great color
-Nearly non-existent side and top bezels. This has a great footprint and is perfect if your desk or table requires you to minimize your X-axis footprint on the monitor itself
-Excellent stand. It can pivot, height adjust, tilt the monitor forward and back generously, and the monitor can rotate fully vertical as your needs demand.
-Freesync compatible. This is great for AMD graphics card users. I am sure with the quality and price of this monitor, in no time it will become G-Sync certified by Nvidia
-Inclusion of built-in speakers. All the speakers are weak, they are present. So for a budget minded gamer who just needs to get started, this means they can eliminate the extra-expense of a head set or external speakers until they are ready!
-Power delivery. This monitor requires no power brick but only a single cable that plugs directly into the back of the monitor! This is nice and makes this rank as a highly portable monitor for LAN parties or on the move needs.

Areas for improvement:
-Menu navigation and buttons. These are not labeled and are difficult to navigate with. Unlike the toggle joystick menu button that is common on so many other Asus monitors, these buttons are unwieldily and difficult to get the hang of what button does what.
-Included instructions. They are essentially worthless for anything beyond just setting up the monitor.
-Accessories. They included a 3ft display port cable, but at this price the inclusion of a HDMI cable would have been an expected item given the price.
-I/O. 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port, 1 DVI, Headphone jack. That is it and fairly sparse all things considered. Additionally, the curvature of the back of the monitor makes plugging very thick or braided cables into the I/O ports difficult.

Nice hardware, but the software needs work
on February 6, 2020
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
Overwhelmingly I would say I am happy with this headset. Despite what the confusing description states, these headphones are not just for the certain Alienware laptop models, but are suited for use with other gaming PCs as well.
I used this headset with my custom gaming PC I built and I would say that at this price point I am happy with how it performs. The fit of the cups is comfortable over my ears, and the adjustability of these cups is interesting in that the cups themselves slide up and down in the channels of the headband for adjustment rather than the headband itself collapsing and extending as with so many other headset models. The comfort of the headset overall gets a 7/10 from me. The leatherette headband cushion is squishy but seems like it will hold up to extended gaming sessions without collapsing in on itself. The adjustment of the cups described above results in just enough force being applied to maintain the seal around your ears without the excess of too much collapsing source (a common source of headaches and discomfort when wearing over-ear headsets).
The sound of this headset is acceptable at this mid-tier price level. I found that the highs were a bit tinny sounding, but the mids and bass are appropriately balanced. The speech produced through the microphone according to my friends (both in in-game chat control and through Discord) sounded good; neither tinny/whinny or muffled.
The area of improvement I have for these headphones is the software. Upon plugging these headphones into my computer via the USB adapter. The Alienware sound center software tried to auto-install and my Avast anti-virus immediately flagged it as a threat and cancelled the install. Upon further investigation, it turns out that the software in the Microsoft store is rated by 31 reviewers as 1 star. Coming from brands like Logitech, Corsair, and even Razer that have their software pretty dialed in for their headsets, I have to ding Alienware here. Thankfully, software is something that can be fixed readily, and by the time you read this review they may have already fixed the described issue!

Lives up to Logitech's high-end feel and quality!
on January 19, 2020
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
I am so happy with this keyboard. I have been long on the hunt for a replacement for my Razer Cynosa Chroma keyboard which has definitely outlived its usefulness in my use case of FPS gaming with mouse and keyboard with its squishy, non-precise membrane keys. In general, I have a very high opinion of Logitech products. I have used a lot of Logitech products and I can't recall any of them in the mid-high end of price range every disappointing me. My first Logitech product was a $12 wireless mouse I purchased in 2009 in high school that worked for almost 6 years without issue! Anyways, I digress.
The Logitech G513 is a keyboard that from unboxing to setup reeks of quality. The keyboard is stout enough to be used as a blunt melee weapon, the key strokes are precise and live up to their advertised feel and tactility, and the software Logitech G HUB is my favorite interface over Razer Synapse and Corsair iCUE that I am familiar with!
One of the things I love is the clean appearance of the RGB. There is no bleed, no wasted lighting. The Rainbow mode this defaults too before a profile is loaded is just so sexy and demonstrates the cleanliness of the color transitions when you see it the first time. The braided USB cable is thick enough to make a construction contractor proud and the pass through USB port is thoughtful (if not expected) at this price range. I am using it for my mouse dongle currently to avoid the connection having to pass through my desk or other objects and experience interference. So far, it has been amazing! The palm rest is comfortable and the angles of the keyboard should suit most any user. My only criticism is rather general and not specific to Logitech alone as many keyboards at this price range and RGB setup have this problem: I don't like not having secondary key functions and symbols light up! I find myself typing in a dark environments quite often, and when I have to find a special character I haven't memorized I am require to turn on a lamp or light the keyboard with my phone. Not convenient, but definitely not a huge issue as I mostly use this keyboard for gaming.
Overall, I can't recommend this keyboard enough. The switches, the quality, the appearance, the RGB, the software, it all just WORKS. I expect nothing less of high-end Logitech and this is highly demonstrative of my satisfied expectations!

A feature rich, fantastic performing mouse!
on January 19, 2020
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
I am previously coming from a Razer Basilisk and I have definitely found a replacement in this new mouse from Corsair. I am definitely a 'claw' grip style user over a palm style grip, so the transition to this mouse was really easy. A few of the stand out features I really appreciate about thus are the fact that it has lots of connectivity options. It can utilize Bluetooth, a USB 2.4Ghz dongle, or a direct USB connection-for which they thoughfully include a 6 foot braided USB-A to USB C cable). I have opted to use the dongle, as I did want to enjoy the wireless mouse experience and not have to deal with Bluetooth which I still feel can be rather glitchy in maintaining connection at times. The dongle uses what Corsair calls their Slipstream technology that is supposed to keep response time down to less than 1ms. This is fast enough to meet the demands of almost all gamers and subjectively I have not noticed a diminishment in my responses and flick shots in fast paced FPS games like Modern Warfare and Doom 2016 over my wired mouse. As a matter of fact, I like the increased weight and grip-filling design of this mouse over my Razer Basilisk for shooters.
The iCUE software I would still call a work in progress. I have Corsair Vengence RGB Ram and a Corsair AIO CPU cooler in addition to this mouse and I have always found their suite of customization to be a bit glitchy at best, not as bad as Razer Synapse but not as polished or user friendly as Logitech G HUB software. After updating the iCUE software, it did recognize the mouse and I was able to customize my RGB lighting and DPI profile settings. I figured out the RGB can be customized quite niftily to have specific lighting zones reflect the temperatures of my different computer components. For example, I have one zone that is customized to have different colors from light blue to bright red to reflect the temperature of my GPU while gaming. This is fun and is cool to demonstrate to guests and friends who I show my rig.
My next upgrade to my set up is to get the Qi wireless charging mousepad from Corsair as this mouse is Qi wireless charging enabled! The idea of perpetual wireless use without worrying about the mouse dying in my next gaming session is super cool, not to mention it is just future proof as a lot of tech is moving towards being wireless charge enabled!
Overall, I find this to be a great mouse and I definitely think it is worth your time and money to give it a try and see if you like it!

Has turned my ipad into a tough, portable laptop!
on December 28, 2019
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
The title of my review really sums up my feelings about this most excellent keyboard case. I like to work on firearm and truck projects in my garage and hate bringing my nice Macbook Pro out there from inside the house to be exposed to grease and all other sorts of nastiness. Between this case, an iPad 7th gen, and a good screen protector, you have almost all of the utility and go-anywhere appeal of a laptop at a price level that consists of laptops that are going to be bulkier and slower than the total sum of this setup. Plus, if I mess up the keyboard or case with an oil spill or the like while I am watching a tutorial video, I am only out a $140 case instead of having to replace a whole laptop!
This keyboard case is exactly what I expect of Logitech products generally: stylish, well-built, easy to setup and use, and tough enough to handle a little neglect or abuse once in a while. This keyboard case does not disappoint. The typing experience on it is awesome, the keystrokes being snappy and responsive and the keyboard setup itself not being overly cramped; a problem on keyboards this size in general. They even managed to make the wrist rest portion of the keyboard surface comfortable and accommodating to typing on flat surfaces like elevated kitchen counters and coffee shop bars.
Overall, I cannot recommend this keyboard case enough. If you want to use your iPad like a laptop in any capacity at all and ESPECIALLY in dirty or outdoor conditions, this is a purchase from a preventative and enjoyment level you can't afford not to make. Thanks for reading and I hope this review is as helpful as this awesome keyboard case has been for me!

Once the firmware is updated, this thing is great!
on December 23, 2019
Posted by: Bren
from Central Point, OR
If I can sum up my review in a short manner, it is only that you NEED to ignore these reviews that are outdated and/or ignorant of the fact that Canon has released a firmware update to address the problems this camera was having with autofocus etc. Before I did anything shooting or filming, I made sure to update the firmware first.
The steps to do this are fairly simple, but there are only a couple of poorly shot videos on the internet that outline how to do it in simple terms. I will give a crack at it in this written review.
The equipment required is an SD card, a computer with internet access for downloading the firmware update (version 1.2.0 as of December 12th, 2019), and a bit of time. I formatted the card in the settings on the Camera (this wipes it completely clean, so be careful) and then plugged it into the SD card reader for my computer. On Canon's website, I looked up the firmware on the support page where I was able to download the Zipped folder containing the update file and PDFs in different languages on how to perform the upgrade. There are both Windows and Mac OS X versions available. I unzipped this folder and dragged the file PSG7X3_120.FIR onto the SD card (not inside a folder, just the main page). I then flipped the setting wheel to 'P' and pressed the view button to turn it on. On the settings page, go to number 5 and scroll down to firmware. It will show you the current firmware version (1.0.1. is what mine displayed) and it will ask you if you want to update the firmware. Select OK. It will then go through the process and shut off. When you boot it back up to check, it is updated! It then gives you the option of two autofocus modes; Mode 1 is what you want for a quicker, more adaptable autofocus while filming.
The process is simple enough, taking less than 10 minutes, and is worth taking the time to do for a camera whose predecessor is so esteemed and loved by many.
I hope this review and like I said, ignore the negative reviews that make no mention of updating their camera first with the latest firmware! Thanks for reading this and have a good day!

Make yard work easier with this Hoover ONEPWR Cordless High-Performance Blower. A heavy-duty turbo fan blasts away leaves with up to 270 cfm of airflow, and an integrated scraper easily removes stuck-on debris. This Hoover ONEPWR Cordless High-Performance Blower includes a charger and a battery and is ready to run right out of the box.

This blower is exactly what I was looking for. I live in a condo with a private patio and garage. After this fall, I had leaves and other remnants of autumn in all the places that the HOA is unwilling to address with their yard crew so I knew I would need something for my own use that was powerful yet space saving and not obnoxiously loud. This meets the bill in all of those regards.
Set up could not have been easier. I pulled it out of the box, attached the blower extension, and inserted the battery which-gratefully, already had enough juice in it to clean my patio. It has a variable speed trigger which allows you to control how fast (powerful) it is. I would call this unit light enough for most anyone to use in its intended one handed fashion for an extended period of time, except for those perhaps with severe arthritis in their hands. The ONEPWR battery system appears elegant in its usefulness. I like the idea of getting their hand vacuum and full sized wet/dry vacuum as these tool use the same battery. Overall, I am very satisfied with this blower and I cannot recommend it enough if you are looking for an efficient, space saving portable and rechargeable blower!
