Very good dedicated Mac Keyboard
on July 17, 2020
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
The MX (Master) series from Logitech includes premium keyboards and mouse oriented for work applications.
It works best when used with a mouse from the MX series to take full advantage of the Flow software when used with two or three computers at the same time.
While all the keyboards in the series works with Mac, this is the first that's specifically targeted for macs.
The main differences are the mac-only keyboard layout and 'Space Gray' finish. Otherwise it's functionally identical to the regular MX Series keyboard.

Opening the packaging for the first time feels different: There is no plastic in the packaging, and the keyboard is wrapped in gift tissue paper. Very nice that they're mindful of not adding unnecessary plastic. There's also an USB-C to USB-C cable and an USB adapter, that for some reason it's USB-A.
The keyboard layout is arranged similarly to Apple full-size keyboards.
The keyboard is all plastic, the 'Space Gray' finish is actually painted plastic. It does look great and had to double-take. It looks like aluminum but it's not.

The layout uses 'island' keys that feel similar to a laptop keyboard: The keys are slightly separated, with a limited travel compared to mechanical keys, but much better than Apple's laptop keyboards. The keys are also concave, which I really like. It's not indented like older keyboards. It has a circular 'bowl' on the center of the keys that helps with touch typing.
Backlight: Every key, including function keys are backlit. The backlight has 7 levels that are controlled via Fn keys. The keyboard includes a 'proximity sensor' so the light turns on when hands approach the keyboard (before touching it), and turn off soon after. It should also adjust intensity based on ambient light although I did not notice the difference.
Logitech sells an optional wrist pad designed specifically for this keyboard. I have no idea why they sell it separately, not part of the keyboard.
The keyboard charges a built-in battery via the USB-C port. Based on previous experience with other Logitech keyboards, it should last months without the backlight, but with the backlight I noticed the battery lost about 30% in a week.
Connectivity: It can either use the Logitech unifying USB receiver, or it supports Bluetooth 5.0 LE.
The Unifying receiver can connect to up to 6 devices simultaneously, like other Logitech keyboards and mouse.
The connection via the USB receiver is extremely reliable, and one receiver works with both keyboard and mouse. I've used these for years on previous keyboards.

The connection via the USB receiver is extremely reliable, and one receiver works with both keyboard and mouse. I've used these for years on previous keyboards.
The keyboard has three buttons to switch devices it connects to, or if using a compatible Logitech mouse, enable Flow to seamlessly switch between devices. This keyboard supports flow when used with the Logitech MX Vertical mouse, and it works between macOS and Windows 10. It requires Wi-Fi connection between the two or three computers for Flow to work. If using Linux, Android or iOS, it has to be switched via dedicated keys (On top of the control keys). The software is 'Logitech Flow' and it's available through Logitech (for free, with no registration). It also checks firmware on the keyboard, and other fine-tuning settings. It's not available through Apple's App Store. The software also bundles the 'Logitech Unifying' software that can be used to pair and unpair any compatible mouse or keyboard to any Unifying Receiver. When connected via the receiver, the computer detects the keyboard (and mouse) as USB devices.
Things that I did not like upon using this otherwise excellent keyboard:
- There are no height adjustment tabs on the base of the keyboard.
- The keyboard is all plastic. It looks like Apple's Aluminum keyboards though.
- The USB-C port of the back of the keyboard is used only for charging. Unlike the MX mouse on the same series, the USB-C port cannot be used as an USB keyboard (Although the wireless receiver does that).
- This might be an Apple problem, but if the boot drive on the mac is encrypted (As it should be), this keyboard does not work until the initial password is set, when connected via Bluetooth. This is because macOS File Vault does not enable the Bluetooth driver until after macOS boots. To compound the problem, the USB-C connector on the keyboard does not work except for charging it so File Vault won't work with it via USB. Connecting via the unifying receiver works, but the receiver is USB-A, and it needs to be connected either through a dock or an adapter (dongle). So much for 'Designed for Mac'.
- Keycaps are not removable, so it makes it hard to clean. To be fair, modern Apple keyboards are also impossible to fix, but having used mechanical keyboards in the past in which keycaps are made to be easily removed, this is a slight drawback to me.

Also note that if one of the computers is connected via VPN, the 'Logitech Flow' software might not work (depending on the VPN settings), because it needs network connectivity between both computers.
Overall, it's an excellent keyboard that I thoroughly enjoy. Currently using it with both my personal and work MacBook at home, except for the slight annoyance when the computer boots, which I'll solve by having both computers use Unifying receivers.

Very convenient, well built
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
Had very good previous experience with Belkin products and this adapter is as good as it gets.
The adapter supports HDMI up to 4K x 60 Hz and USB-C power delivery (60 Watts).
I'm using it on my work MacBook with Thunderbolt 3 connection, and I'm able to drive a 16:10 monitor with perfect image and sound while at the same time charging it (Using only one port on the computer).
I also used it with a 4K TV, also with seamless results. The computer is able to detect the TV capabilities (resolution, size), i.e. EDID information, so the adapter is able to perform 2-way communications.

Power delivery works with up to 60 Watts.
Also used it with a Dell PC that has an USB-C display port and worked jus fine with this adapter as well.
It should also work with iPad Pros that have an USB-C connector for display out while charging.
If I have to pick something on this is that it's shell is shiny plastic which attracts fingerprints. Not a real issue.
The adapter is well constructed, with a warranty from Belkin for 2 years.

This is a fairly rugged case, which is thick and adds some weight, but not overly heavy.
The cloth-like material is very easy to clean and does not scratch easily.
Kids have been playing with the iPad, and I just wipe off the case with a cloth.

The case has no batteries and nothing to set up. Literally, put the iPad in the case and snap the keyboard.
The keyboard/trackpad uses Apple's 'Smart Connector', which does not require Bluetooth, pairing, nor batteries.
The keyboard is not attached to the case, it's held firmly with magnets to the iPad's case, so it can be removed when reading vertically on it.

The keys are backlight and are as good as any other slim keyboard from Logitech, with good amount of travel and feedback.
Then there is the trackpad. This is something I initially did not know I wanted, but it makes it so much easier to use the iPad when working with emails or documents. The trackpad is sufficiently large, sensitive and with good feedback, like a laptop. While the iPad works slightly different in terms of cursor movement, it feels intuitive right away. It also supports gestures like two-fingers, etc.

The flap on the back of the case is firm and provides a good range of adjustment to tilt the iPad to the right angle.
There is also a loop on top of the case to hold an Apple Pencil or the Logitech Crayon. I already had the crayon and it fits a bit too snugly, but the Apple Pencil is thinner so it should work out fine.
The first time I connected the case to the iPad, it offered to download an optional app: Logitech Control. This is again, optional, and what it does is allows to adjust the backlighting on the case (bright, medium or off), and the duration of the backlight.
It also updated the firmware in on the keyboard/trackpad.

One small caveat: Sometimes when waking up the iPad, it doesn’t recognize the keyboard right away. Simply snapping the keyboard back in works every time.
I highly recommend this case to anyone that’s going to be typing longer documents and the newly added trackpad support makes it much more useful when working with documents.
Not having to worry about charging the keyboard makes it feel more like a laptop

Simplify personal grooming with this Panasonic ARC 5 electric shaver. The ultra-fast motor and five-blade system make short work of facial hair by providing up to 70,000 cross-cuts per minute,. This Panasonic ARC 5 electric shaver has a built-in pop-up trimmer that makes it easy to sculpt mustaches, beards and sideburns.

Note that this review is from someone who's been using rotary electric shavers for life, and my first time using foil shavers.
The shaver is well built, newest in the Arc 5 line with five foils, so it's large, covering the most surface on shavers of this type.
The whole shaver is made in Japan.
It comes with a charger that is 100v-240v -- with 110v plug (Needs an adapter when traveling abroad).
Also comes with a compact case in the shape of the shaver.

Also comes with a compact case in the shape of the shaver.
It charges quickly, but using a proprietary plug. It came as a surprise that it doesn't use a standard or wireless charger.
The internal Li-Ion battery is replaceable but not user-replaceable as the seal can break when opening the shaver (As per instructions).
A display shows the percentage charge remaining (but not an estimation of time remaining). It seems to be able to go for weeks without recharging so this is fine
It's also somewhat loud, compared to other shavers.

It's waterproof and can be used in both dry and wet shaving.
The shaving head pivots to follow the contour of the face, and can also be locked in place.
I personally find it more steady and quicker to use by locking it.

It does produce a clean shave, but I have to go over several times. It doesn't work very well with overgrown beard. It's best to use a trimmer first.
Also because the shaving head is so large and the foils are a bit far from the edge of the shaving head, it can be blunt when trying to shave around facial hair. For this it comes with a trimmer that pops from the back of the shaving head, and works very well for cleaning off sideburns.
After several uses, it gets better, although problem areas like around the neck persist.
No issues whatsoever with nicks or cuts.

Cleaning: The manual recommends to wash, rinse and then oil it daily. This seems a bit much to me.
Opening it and rinsing it is actually very easy. I'd say the easiest shaver to clean.
Note that there is also a version of this same shaver with a rinsing base.

Holding the base of the shaver feels natural. It has a grip area on the front right below the pivoting head, and the whole back is rubberized.
Overall it's a great foil shaver that produces smooth and close shaves.
Give it about a week to get used to it.

Make vegetable and fruit juices with this Oster JusSimple easy juicer. The wide feeding chute fits vgetables and whole fruits, while the two-speed juicer lets you prepare fresh juice quickly. This Oster JusSimple easy juicer features a Rinse 'n Ready filter and a detachable, dishwasher-safe blade for easy cleanup.
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
This juicer is powerful with a 900W motor, comes with a large capacity pitcher and even bigger pulp bin.
It has two speeds: Slower for softer fruits and vegetables, and high for harder ones.
Even in slow speed it juices an apple in seconds.
The chute is wide and long to minimize spills. It doesn't actually fit an entire apple, nor I think you should, but it gets close. Cut a large apple in four pieces and it will be just fine.

While browsing other brands, it seems that all the full size juicers look more or less the same.
What distinguishes this model is that instead of the typical stainless steel mesh filter, this has a red coating that makes it easier to clean.
After juicing several apples, peaches and grapes, and let it sit for a while, I was able to clean the filter with running water and a sponge, without needing a brush.
The filter and other pieces are dishwasher safe. All other pieces are hard plastic except for the pulp basket which is a flexible plastic.

Pros:
- Powerful Motor.
- Large capacity.
- Easier to clean filter (Still requires some effort, but less so).
- Proven design.
- Motor base did not get dirty after normal use. It's covered in stainless steel so it's easy to wipe off regardless.
- It works well at what it does.

Cons:
- The pieces around the filter have some crevices that are hard to clean: The top part has some angles and pockets that require rinsing with more pressure. The bottom half has a lip that can get pulp stuck.
- Overall takes from 5 to 7 minutes to clean, having a large sink with a disposer. As I said, parts are dishwasher-safe although we prefer to hand-wash these things.
- The pulp and juice containers don't stack together so it takes a good amount of space when putting it away.

Overall:
I like the powerful engine and speed. Leaves pulp dry. The filter is easier to clean than other juicers we had before this, but like every single other appliance like this, needs cleaning.

Stay entertained with this Uxbridge Voice smart speaker. The Wi-Fi connectivity lets you stream music, while the integrated Amazon Alexa app allows for seamless hands-free operation. This Bluetooth-enabled Uxbridge Voice smart speaker has a 54Hz to 20,000Hz frequency range for efficient sound delivery, and the dual-microphone system blocks out background noise for clear audio.

About the size of an alarm clock (5" x 5" x 7" tall), this speaker is unrepentantly designed in the very retro classic style of Marshall concert speakers, although the case is entirely plastic.
Sound: Pleasantly, this sounds very good for its size. It's good enough to fill a small room and it does not distort at max volume.
On top of the speaker, it has volume, bass and treble controls. If using the 'Marshall Voice' app, it has a five-band eq with presets (Rock, spoken, pop, flat, and of course, custom). Changing bass, treble or volume on the speaker simultaneously reflects on the app.

Other physical controls: On the back of the speaker, there is a very discreet Bluetooth pairing button. The front has the after mentioned vol, bass and treble, and also a small play/pause at the left and a mic attention (turns on Alexa without the wake word) / privacy. At the front bottom of the speaker, on the copper-painted bar, there are four LEDs that change sequence and colors based on activity (Alexa colors, changing audio controls, etc.).
Normally there are no lights on the speaker, except for Alexa notices or if the mic is off.
Normally there are no lights on the speaker, except for Alexa notices or if the mic is off.
The power cable is a 110v to C7 plug on the speaker, removable. It does not have an external adapter. Also it does not have a battery. It requires to be plugged in. Note that it also works with 240v, if traveling.
Audio sources:
- Note that it does not have an Aux In nor a headphones output. This speaker is really meant to be used either with Alexa voice or from a phone
- Airplay 2: Works really well from Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, macOS, AppleTV) and other airplay devices. For example from the iPhone, I can start playing on the phone, and then send the audio to this speaker and simultaneously to other Airplay2 speakers in the house, or AppleTVs. It works well with other brands also, and without delay. Volume can be controlled individually for each speaker and the whole group.
- Spotify Connect: From the Spotify app on a phone, at the bottom left, select this speaker and Spotify can stream directly to the speaker, using the app as a remote, but the app or phone are no longer needed while it continues playing. It does not require a subscription.
- Amazon Music: Besides Alexa, the Amazon music app on a phone can play directly to the speaker.
- Bluetooth: The speaker supports Bluetooth 5.0, which provides better range and it's better on the phone's battery, but it could only connect using the SBC Bluetooth codec. It didn't support aptX on an Android 10 phone. It sounds fine regardless and volume can be controlled from the phone's volume controls, from the speaker or the Marshall Voice app.

Initial setup:
Initial setup requires the Marshall Voice app from either Apple or Google app stores. The pairing process from an iPhone was flawless: It first detected the speaker via Bluetooth, found the WiFi network and asked for the Wi-Fi password. It did not require messing around with WiFi settings on the phone like other devices I used. Then it found a firmware upgrade for the speakers that took a couple minutes. Worked just fine. Alexa setup is optional. It's simple and it also requires one to have the Alexa app on the phone to finish the process.
Note that this speaker supports both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz Wi-Fi, which It's great and not usual.

Amazon Alexa:
This is an 'Alexa enabled' devices. Just like any other non-amazon Alexa devices I use, there are some things it cannot do. For example, communications like calling someone through Alexa des not work. Also Apple Music through Alexa does not work either. The Apple Music skill is very restricted, and I have similar issues with other Alexa speakers. These are really Alexa limitations, but keep it in mind.
Pairing this speaker with other Alexa devices in music groups is supported, although it did not work in my case. The speaker shows as available to add in Alexa groups but ultimately fails for me. It might be a temporary issue.

- Phone app is simple and intuitive, and not required besides setup. It shows the name of the song that’s playing (Even for Bluetooth, if the phone provides it), source service and cover-art (if available).
Cons:

Other considerations:
- I find the styling too forced. It's all plastic while evoking the classic Marshall styling. The long bar controls on the top are a bit much, and the copper bar at the bottom of the grille is really painted plastic.
- That said, it's very well constructed, with solid rubber feet (Which is good because it puts out a lot of sound). The enclosure does not produce vibration sounds. It's thick and solid.

Full-size capacity, good for hardwood
on March 8, 2020
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
The Dyson 11 Outsize improves over the other V11 models in having a larger bin and it now has removable batteries.
While previous models required a screwdriver to swap batteries, this model finally comes with swappable batteries (Like a power drill). It comes with two identical batteries and two identical power chargers. The battery can be charged in or out of the vacuum, and with the two chargers, both batteries can be charged at the same time.
The larger dustbin, while doesn't require emptying the vacuum as often, also makes an already large and heavy vacuum even more so.
Performance:
The vacuum engine is really amazing and very powerful. So much so that the vacuum has three speeds, and most times one would use it in either Eco or Med/Auto modes, or about half power or so. The Boost mode runs the battery fairly quickly, it's much louder and I found it mostly unnecessary, while making the vacuum heavier. In Boost mode this vacuum should exceed the suction power of most wired household vacuums.
The Med mode changes to 'Auto' mode when attaching the cleaner head, which senses the type of floor in use, and adapts its speed and the vacuum speed accordingly. If found this to work fairly well when going from hardwood to an area rug or floormats.
The vacuum engine is really amazing and very powerful. So much so that the vacuum has three speeds, and most times one would use it in either Eco or Med/Auto modes, or about half power or so. The Boost mode runs the battery fairly quickly, it's much louder and I found it mostly unnecessary, while making the vacuum heavier.

Battery:
Comes with two swappable batteries, 7-cell each. In Med/Auto mode, each battery provides from 30 min to 45 min runtime and 1 hour or mode in Eco. The runtime in Boost mode would be around 10 minutes. On a couple occasions, after continuous use, the battery went into protection mode and shut down for a few seconds. If this happens, wait 5 to 10 seconds and everything goes back to normal.
The battery can be charged in or outside the vacuum and has a charging indicator LED, in addition to the screen of the vacuum. It comes with two identical chargers which do no have any lights on them.

Cleaning:
- Hardwood: This is where this vacuum shines. It has plenty of power and about 2 hours of use (2 batteries - In Eco mode) is more than enough runtime. The 'High Torque' cleaning head works well: It has two sets of bristles. The softer is slightly longer and is used on hardwood. The firmer set of bristles are shorted and get in contact with rugs.
- Floor mats (or thick, shallow rugs): Using the 'High Torque' head works very well, and the Auto sense feature adjusts suction speed very well.
- Rugs: Using the 'High Torque' cleaning head works fine on thin or worn rugs, but fails to work at all on slightly thicker area rugs: While the vacuum has plenty of suction, the roller is driven by an independent motor housed inside the roller. It either doesn't have enough power to push the larger roller or it falsely senses that it's stuck and stops rotating. This works a bit better when setting the feet of the roller in less suction mode, and at the same time, setting the vacuum in eco mode. What it does is to let more air in, so it doesn't create too much suction. It's slightly better but it still gets stuck, and unlike other vacuums, I cannot recommend this for cleaning thicker rugs.
- Upholstery: This model comes with a smaller roll, that's also independently powered, and it's great to clean upholstery or car seats.
- Accessories: Plenty of other accessories including a soft brush, a hard brush, a crevices head and a standard head with a retractable brush. This last one would be the go to for almost any cleaning that doesn't include the powered brushes. All of it can be used with or without the aluminum extension rod.

Dock:
- It comes with a wall-mount dock that requires two screws into the wall, and once mounted, a clip in the dock hides the screws. Unfortunately, this design makes it very hard to try unmounting the dock without breaking it, which can be done with something like a long flat screwdriver and lots of patience. I don't know why they think this is a good design. If you like me don't want to make holes into the wall, there is an optional pedestal that like other Dyson products is priced accordingly and costs more than other vacuums.

Emptying and maintenance:
- Really easy by removing the accessories and lifting a lever. Note that unlike previous designs, the barrel can break if one forgets to detach the accessories. This was not a problem on previous designs. This is because the dust comes from the from of the vacuum, where the accessories go. On previous models, it had a separate latch to open the dust bin.
- The rollers have only two sets of bristles to make is harder to catch hair, and the roller can be removed from its enclosure making it easy to clean.
- Most of the vacuum can be taken apart. The dustbin assembly can come off with a series of latches and is very easy to maintain.
- It has a washable cloth filter and a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is the last in a series of filters and should last from 6 months to a year.

Overall:
- Great suction, swappable batteries would make it an excellent choice. Very long runtime and extra battery. Great assortment of accessories included within. It's great if you don’t mind the larger size and extra weight. Excellent for hardwood, cleaning cars, upholstery and anything that does not include a thicker rug.

Type more naturally with ERGO K860 – an advanced ergonomic keyboard that promotes a more relaxed typing posture – reducing wrist bending and offering wrist support. A curved keyframe helps reduce wrist strain, while a pillowed wrist rest keeps your forearms elevated to help prevent excessive bending. This Logitech ERGO keyboard features Perfect Stroke keys for quiet performance and responsiveness, and the 2-year battery life offers long-lasting use.

This is Logitech's only split ergonomic keyboard. It's also the first ergonomic keyboard that can simultaneously be paired to multiple devices, is wireless and supports multiple operating systems.
This keyboard is a great complement to the MX Vertical mouse, which I'm also using.
The layout uses 'island' keys that feel similar to a laptop keyboard: The keys are slightly separated, with a limited travel compared to mechanical keys.
With the divided keyboard, each side is tilted left/right for a more natural resting positions of the hands.
The media and desktop shortcut keys are fully functional on both macOS and Windows 10.
The integrated wrist rest is nicely padded while maintaining the keyboard's contour.
As a quirk, a phone can slide nicely under the curve on the keyboard.

Battery: It uses 2xAAA alkaline batteries. Logitech claims two years battery life. This might be true. I'm also using another Logitech (with mechanical keys) and it's been over a year with the same batteries.
On the plus side of using AAA batteries, there is no planned obsolescence here: Change the standard batteries and works like new again.

Connectivity: It can either use the Logitech unifying USB receiver, or it supports Bluetooth 5.0 LE. Note that if using an older computer that does not support Low Energy mode, the keyboard might not work with Bluetooth, but works with the USB receiver.
The Unifying receiver can connect to up to 6 devices (On the same receiver).
I cannot reinforce enough how reliable the connection is with the unifying receiver, and one receiver works with both keyboard and mouse.

I cannot reinforce enough how reliable the connection is with the unifying receiver, and one receiver works with both keyboard and mouse.
The keyboard has three buttons to switch devices it connects to, or if using a compatible Logitech mouse, enable Flow to seamlessly switch between devices. This keyboard supports flow when used with the Logitech MX Vertical mouse, and it works between macOS and Windows 10.
It took me about a week to adapt to this keyboard, coming from a mechanical keyboard.
There are no lift tabs on the back of the keyboard, instead they are on the front so it can lean backwards when using it on a standing desk.
As potential cons to consider, as per one's preferences:
- No option to recharge batteries.
- No wired USB: Wireless only.
- No backlight keys.
- No mechanical keys: From personal experience, it took me longer to get used to the shorter travel than to the split keyboard.
- Keycaps are not removable.

Last year we got the Bissell air400, which we liked and so got this to replace another, older purifier.
This is a large air purifier for larger rooms (Rated 1000 Sq. ft). We're currently using this in our Master Bedroom.
It shows a lot of thought was put into the design of this machine:
First, dare to say, looks great. With its wooden legs, fabric front and minimalistic controls, it has a timeless design of mid-century furniture. My first impression is how nice it looks.
It's fairly thin with just enough space for the central fan and the filters. (about 9" deep).

It's fairly thin with just enough space for the central fan and the filters. (about 9" deep).
The controls very are simple to operate: Press the center button for on and off, and rotate the dial to go from automatic to 5 speeds. That's it.
The auto mode regulates the speed based on the air quality, this is displayed in a hidden display in the front, below the control, which has numbers up to 999 indicating air quality, and a glow light below that changes color depending on the air quality.
It then has an auto night mode, so it goes completely dark when the lights are out.
It then has an auto night mode, so it goes completely dark when the lights are out.
Filters: It has large an thick HEPA filter, a carbon filter of the same size, and a the front cover also serves as a fabric mesh. Replacing the filters takes seconds and no tools. The unit has a filter replacement indicator for each filter: F1 or F2 instead of the air quality readout.
The HEPA filter is for particulates, including allergens.
The activated carbon filter is for reducing ambient odors.
The auto mode uses a dust sensor on the side of the unit, that the manual indicates it should be cleaned twice a year. The cover for this comes out with no tools.

The unit is very well constructed. The air movement is provided by an aluminum 'squirrel cage' fan (similar to most HVAC units) powered by a digital motor (These are the most precise motors, also used by the latest high-end vacuums, etc.).
The air comes from the front mesh and it's exhausted trough the top of the unit, which has a metal grid. It does not blow air from the back, and has a simple cord manager
Note that if the unit looses power it will remain off, so it won't work with smart switches, and has no remote controls. It also does not generate negative ion particles.
Both carbon and HEPA filter are replaceable (not washable) but the front fabric cover should be vacuumed as needed, and it's not consumable.

Noise is still noticeable when at its lowest level: It's spec sheet refers to 37 dB at its lowest.
Overall it looks great, it's very simple to operate and very well constructed.

This is a fairly compact tower-type UPS that uses a single sealed lead-acid battery.
Models with more than 1000VA output capacity requires more batteries, making this ideal if a compact UPS is what's needed.
Models with more than 1000VA output capacity requires more batteries, making this ideal if a compact UPS is what's needed.
Very straight-forward to use. Note that after unpacking the UPS, the battery needs to be connected (It's unplugged for safety). The battery can be replaced without tools by sliding the cover and swapping the battery (With the UPS unplugged).
It has three buttons in the front: Alarm mute, power on/off and a menu button to scroll through different readings. The display is easy to read without being too bright (Load, battery, voltage, watts and so forth). Holding the menu button turns off the display (When not running on battery), or leaves it always on.
Keep in mind that this UPS does not produce a sine wave like an AC power outlet, but an 'approximate' (stepped) sine wave. This is not an issue with most PCs and consumer electronics, but can be an issue with more sensitive devices.
On the back, there's a row of 4 battery-protected outlets and 4 that are surge-protected.
There is also a ethernet protection (2 ports) and coax cable protection. These are to protect equipment from surge due to lighting on network and coax cables, it doesn't do anything else, but valuable feature where needed.

There is also a management port. Oddly, it uses a proprietary RJ45 to USB-A cable and an RJ45 to RS232 serial can be purchased separately. I would've preferred a standard USB port. Not sure why this is still built this way.
Connected the USB to a Mac and it automatically recognized the UPS, indicating if it was running on battery power, time and percentage remaining. There is nothing to install on macOS, and it just worked. Connecting the USB cable is not necessary however, but the computer won't be able to prepare for shutdown when the battery runs off.
APC provides a software 'PowerChute' for Windows to provide similar information.

My setup that includes a laptop, large monitor, USB devices, etc. uses about 100W and I was able to run on battery power alone for over 45 minutes.
When running on battery, it produces a loud humming. This is normal.

The battery should last from 3 to 5 years, and it comes with a 3-year warranty.

Work through the day with this Dell laptop. It includes an Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM so that tasks are accomplished quickly and easily, and a 2TB hard drive lets you store all your data even when you have no Internet connection. A powerful 42Wh battery keeps this Dell laptop working throughout the day.
It doesn't say if there's a headphone jack, is there? I don't suppose u can get it cusromized in silver, maybe a 4k display, or that rainbow backlit keyboard gaming laptops have?
Yes, it has a headphone jack, which also supports mics, like mobile phones. There are no color nor display options

Will this printer feed A6 paper size (4.1" x 5.8") from main tray?
It doesn't specifically mention A6 (postcards) but it specifically mentions that 4 × 6 inches (102 × 152 mm), 5 × 7 inches (127 × 178 mm) photo papers can be loaded on the cassette

is wf-3620 cartridge free?, how much would it cost me in kenya shillings?, and does it operate in all the required printing colours?
It uses one black ink and 3 color ink cartridges. It uses cartridges model Epson-252 or Epson-252XL.
There are other epson printers that don't use cartridges, but are initially more expensive. This one uses cartridges, and it's intended for low-volume applications.

Clean your carpets efficiently with this iRobot Roomba vacuum. It lets you set a schedule for automated vacuuming, and the sensors help it navigate under furniture and around objects on the floor for a more thorough cleaning job. This iRobot Roomba vacuum has internal brushes, agitators and suction to handle debris and pet hair.
Does anyone who owns this model find that it is sort of loud?? The part that is the loudest is not the vacuum part but the part that makes it move I guess. Just wondering if anyone else found it loud or is there something wrong with mine?
Yes, I think it's a bit loud, but the point is to trust the machine and let it work while you're away or elsewhere in the house
