Where Headphones meet Luxury
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: TechGuy
from Louisville, KY
Pros:
-Well-built with luxurious look and feel - memory foam ear pads wrapped in luxurious lambskin make for a very comfortable wear
-Sleek aluminum and leather accents and minimalist design
-Left and right stereo channels are marked by large “L” and “R” symbols inside each earphone - very helpful, no need to look for a tiny "L" or "R" indicator like on most other headphones
-A removable lithium-ion battery is located on the bottom of the left earcup - you can replace it as you like
-Pairing with the headphones is fast and easy. Move the power switch on the bottom of the right earphone up towards the Bluetooth symbol, wait for the LED to flash blue, and find it in your device’s Bluetooth menu to pair
-Dedicated smartphone app available to fully utilize the headphones
-Ideal for casual, work, or travel use
-Noise canceling
-Built-in microphone
Cons:
-If you are a colorful person, you may be out of luck as currently the headphones only come in 2 colors (black and brownish gray)
-Price tag can be intimidating
-While battery life is good (see below in Notes section), it is slightly lower than similar models of competitors' headphones
-Not made for athletic use
-No multipoint Bluetooth pairing, which means you’ll have to manually pair and unpair the headphones with every device you use
-Touchpad mentioned below in notes can be quirky (slow to respond or interprets your movement incorrectly). I compare it to a lot of the touchscreen infotainment centers you see it in cars nowadays.
-I think audiophiles will be disappointed with the sound quality, it is good but not exceptional.
-I wouldn't give this to someone who is not technically savvy (like a parent or senior citizen) as the the touchpad can be hard for them to use
Notes:
-Sliding power switch and small LED on the bottom of the right earphone, next to the micro USB charging port and 3.5 mm cable input
-Externally, there are no buttons on the headphones. Playback, noise canceling, and volume are all controlled via the right earcup’s touchpad.
-For optimum use, a smartphone is recommended
-Battery life:
Up to 14 hours with Bluetooth and Noise Canceling
Up to 16 hours with Bluetooth
Up to 21 hours with only Noise Canceling
-Comes with in the box, a short USB charging cable, a 3.5 mm cable for non-Bluetooth connections, a two-prong airplane adapter, a fleece carrying case, and the user guide
-While I do recommend this product, I do think you can find a better product at the same or lower price point

Extremely Versatile Steam Cleaner
on October 1, 2017
Posted by: TechGuy
from Louisville, KY
Really shines as a versatile, in-between or secondary cleaning tool for smaller rooms. Particularly for odd jobs like cleaning grout, upholstery, grills, car seats, and reaching those hard to reach or high places (inside of an oven, wall cabinets, etc.). Would rate 2 or 3 stars if it was only a mop, but the versatility and variety of tools and attachments really make it a solid 4 star product.
Pros:
- Includes multiple cleaning attachments/tools (brushes, spouts, squeege etc.) which is nice cause some cleaning products make you purchase tools separately.
- 3 machines in 1 - mop for regular floor cleaning, extension wand for hard to reach places (walls, crevices, etc.), and handheld for precision and close corners cleaning.
- Cleaning attachments/tools are stored in a tool box that clips on to the bottom of the steam cleaner.
- 2 steam options - standard and extra steam
- Safe to use on tile, hardwood, marble, granite, upholstery, toys, appliance tops etc.
- Swivel steering
- Wall mount included for easy, convenient storage.
- Long, 25ft power cord
- Easy to use
- Easy to set up out of the box, everything slides and snaps into each other
- Easy to swap out attachments and tools
- Uses tap water, no need to buy cleaning solution (I would recommend distilled water if the tap water in your area is extremely hard)
- Well built, doesn't feel cheap
- Really shines as a odd job cleaning machine. I used it to clean the haze off of my tile after it had recently been installed. You can use it to clean grout, hard water spots in the bathroom, sanitize toys, upholstery, delicate fabric
- Comes with 3 washable, reusable mop pads (1 regular, 1 scrubby pad, 1 fabric pad for delicate items)
Cons:
- I found the handheld unit to be a little heavier than expected. I am not sure if it would be good for someone who may be a senior that struggles to carry heavy items.
- Easy to burn yourself or others so make sure you are careful when using it or handling the tools and attachments.
- Not to be used as a primary cleaning tool, meaning that you should vacuum or sweep a floor before using the steam mop.
- Replacement mop pads can cost $7-$15 depending on the pad type, fortunately they are washable and reusable so you should get plenty of use out of them before having to buy replacements.
- Instructions in the box are a bit vague and lacking. It would be nice to know which attachments are to be used in particular situations without having to look them up on Bissell's website.

-Bluetooth connectivity
-Detachable remote cable
-Lightweight and comfortable for extended use

on July 24, 2017
Posted by: TechGuy
from Louisville, KY
Targeted for those who need a powerful laptop with the portability of a tablet. Ideal for those who need a business laptop/tablet and travel or are on the go a lot for work. If you need a basic laptop for a child or for surfing the internet and typing documents, I would look for other products.
Pros:
-Sleek, thin profile allows for mobility and portability (great build quality)
-Edge to Edge (nearly borderless) touch screen
-Powerful i7 Intel processor
-16 GB of LPDDR3 RAM (plenty of memory for multitasking and graphics-heavy programs) and 512 GB of SSD (plenty of space for files)
-Backlit keyboard for typing in dark rooms
-Fingerprint reader for added layer of security
-microSD port, Thunderbolt port, and USB Type C connector port (futureproof's this product for years to come)
-Charging from either side via the USB Type C connector.
Cons:
-No built in CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive
-Since the 2-in-1 is 13 in. there is no room for a full numerical keypad on the keyboard, just the row of numbers across the top.
-Webcam is positioned at bottom of screen when in laptop mode
-No NFC capabilities
-No HDMI port
Notes:
-Loaded with Windows 10
-Includes basic software package (trial of Microsoft Office) - limited bloatware

Solid Mid-Range Sound Bar System
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: TechGuy
from Louisville, KY
The Sony HT-CT290 is a solid mid-range sound bar. I would recommend this particular model for a secondary TV or a primary TV if in a smaller room. If you are an audiophile or are looking for a home theater worthy audio, I would look at other sound bars. But you will definitely get improved sound over the internal speakers on a TV by using this sound bar. Also, make sure that your TV can accommodate the CT-290 without disrupting your overall system or network of interrelated devices.
Pros:
- You can connect to the sound bar via bluetooth or via USB and stream music or audio.
- Wireless subwoofer
- Sleek, slim design with wall-mount capability, ideal for those with limited space
- Music, Movie, Voice and Night modes available
- Delivers crisp and clear sound
Cons:
- No standard RCA jack or headphone style input
- USB port is difficult to access (on back of unit)
- Power cords for both sound bar and sub are short
- No volume indicator on sound bar
- Bass is a little on the weaker side
Again, this tier/price point is cluttered with many of the same type of sound bars (2.1 channel with wireless sub, etc.). This one in particular does not stand out or excel in a particular area. The slim profile is probably it's best selling point. But all in all, it gets the job done.

Dyson Power, Ideal for Multiple Floor Types
on March 30, 2017
Posted by: TechGuy
Let me preface this by saying that this is my first Dyson vacuum. I have owned Bissells and Sharks over the years. I was aware of Dyson's place in the vacuum hierarchy. Dyson is the premium brand, with modern designs and innovative features. With that said, this Dyson vacuum lives up to the powerful suction the brand is known for. If you are looking for an entry level upright Dyson vacuum cleaner for basic (non-animal) cleaning, then this is for you.
Pros:
-Tools, Wands, and Hoses Included
-Handsfree Canister Cleaning
-Bagless
-HEPA filtration system
-Long 30 ft power cord
-Unique color and modern design
-Swivel steering/maneuverability
-Powerful suction that is auto adjusts to variety of floor types
-Residential and Commercial use
-5 year warranty
Cons:
-Premium price
-Heavier and more bulky compared to average vacuums
-No headlight
-No wet and dry usage
-No automatic cord retraction/rewind
-Can be noisy
-Less than ideal build quality for the price
