Solid design

I'm not much of a gamer but I have a preference for mechanical keyboards.
The distinguishing feature about this keyboard is that is both mechanical and wireless.
The distinguishing feature about this keyboard is that is both mechanical and wireless.
The keyboard itself is quite heavy and thick (2 cm or 3/4 inch). The body of the keyboard is a thick gray matte plastic with a black base, and a black, integrated (non-removable) wrist pad. This is a matter of preference but I'd wish the wrist pad was not integrated. It's 2 1/2 in long.
The keys are full-size with traditional keycaps (Not island-style).
The top right of the keyboard has flat round media keys. I don't find the media keys particularly attractive. Looks cheap in comparison with the rest of the keyboard, but do work and are seldom used.
On the left of the keyboard there is a column of 6 macro keys, that can be customized once the Logitech gaming driver is installed, otherwise they work like the F1 to F6 keys.
The keyboard has feet on the back for either raised or flat position (There are no intermediate settings).
Keys: Most mechanical keyboards utilize one of several varieties of Cherry MX switches (Including other older Logitech mechanical switches). A few other keyboards utilize Alps switches -- Those are more akin the feel of vintage IBM or Apple keyboards, which have a distinct click feel and sound. This, like newer Logitech mechanical keyboards, use Logitech's proprietary switch which they call 'Romer-G'. These switches have a bit of weight and a muted click. While the keys allow a good amount of travel comparable to other mechanical switches, it needs little movement to register, about half way, when it gives a bit of bounce feedback. The keycaps on 'Romer-G' switches are a bit different. The switches don't have a mast but are hollow, which allows for a centered lighting on other models, but this model has no backlighting. Because of this, removing the keycaps is possible but takes a bit more effort.
Overall the feeling while typing on this keyboard is good, and comparable to Cherry MX Brown (No audible click).
Wireless: There is no way to use as a wired keyboard. It uses two AA batteries, that according to Logitech should last about 18 months. Mine arrived with generic AA batteries. There is a power off button on the right side. The keyboard uses either an USB receiver or Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection is intended mainly for phones or tablets, where the USB receiver should be used on computers. Keys on the top of the keyboard allows switching back and forth between wireless or Bluetooth. Logitech differentiates between mainline products and gaming products (Logitech G). 'G' products don't use the 'Logitech Unifying Receiver' and instead the keyboard has to be used with its own receiver (Which can be stored on the battery compartment at the bottom of the keyboard). The advantage of this receiver is that is very low latency (Logitech claims to be equal or better than wired). Over the course of a week, never noticed any lags, even when reconnecting after a few minutes.
Software: Note that it doesn't use the same Logitech Flow or Logitech Options of other products. Because it's a 'Logitech G', it uses the (optional) Logitech gaming software, which can be very interesting, bringing profiles per application or games, and full control of the 'G' keys on the left. It also provides battery status for the keyboard and firmware updates on the keyboard itself. The software also lets configure the polling rate between 150 and 1000 / sec.
Apple Mac: My home work computer is a mac. Both they keyboard and the Logitech Gaming Software are fully supported on macOS, however the keyboard doesn't come with mac-specific keycaps, and are not available at the Logitech website.
The keyboard also came with a custom extension cable for the receiver, so it can sit closer to the keyboard if needs be (Mine is behind the monitor with no issues), and also comes with a matching phone stand, so the phone can be used with the Logitech Gaming Software, which provides a second-screen with configurable applets on certain games. It works on both Windows and macOS, with iOS or Android phones. (Search for Logitech ARX Control for more information about this).

Overall is a great choice for a mechanical keyboard, and the only wireless and Bluetooth, gaming, mechanical keyboard on the market today.
I would have preferred rechargeable batteries, but at least with AA batteries the keyboard will last for years. Also the built-in palm-rest could've been optional. Having support for the unifying receiver would've been convenient if the keyboard is used for more than gaming. None of this is a con but a matter of preference.

Improvements on an already great system
on November 17, 2017

I have the earlier generation of Arlo Pro also, so I'll cover the differences as well.
The Arlo cameras are unique because they can run for months on batteries, no cables whatsoever.
This kit includes: One base station, two cameras with Li-Ion batteries and one charger.
This kit includes: One base station, two cameras with Li-Ion batteries and one charger.
The base station is required for the cameras to work. The cameras are paired to the base station that is basically a custom Wi-Fi router dedicated for the cameras. It also has a 100db siren built-in, so consider where you'll be placing this. Also it needs to connect to a home router via Ethernet cable (not Wi-Fi), so in most cases ends up being next to the home router. The base also has two USB ports for local storage.
The cameras are small, weather proof, have a motion detector, night vision, sound detection, speaker and mic. The batteries are replaceable and it's charged via a standard micro-USB cable. The charger supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3 (Like some Android phones, it can recharge the batteries in minutes).
Initial setup is extremely easy. Once the base station is connected to the router, go to a web page or start an app (on the same network as the base), go through a simple registration and will show you how to pair the cameras (it's just pressing a button on the base and one on the camera).
Then the web page or app, which are very similar, lets you configure the names for the area, name of the base station, and for the cameras, motion detection and night vision settings, etc.
The cameras have a strong magnet on the rear and it comes with a metal half-sphere that can be mounted on the wall, and can optionally be mounted with a standard camera mount. Remember that unless the camera is connected via USB, you'll need to re-charge them every few months, so the magnetic mount is handy, possible.

Remember that unless the camera is connected via USB, you'll need to re-charge them every few months, so the magnetic mount is handy, possible.
The cameras can be 'armed' based on a button on the app/web, a schedule, alexa, google voice, IFTTT or geo-fences.
Once a camera is 'armed', it starts recording whenever it detects movement. It sends a push notification to the phone and/or email where you can see the video, and if you want, put the camera in live mode, which shows audio and video, and has a push-to-talk mode so you can talk though the camera (it might have a delay of one or two seconds).
The app is very easy to use. There is no subscription required if, like me, are happy with one week of storage, it keeps the videos it makes for 7 day, and then it rotates (deletes) them out. Other plans seem reasonably priced, which can include continuous recording and advanced detection patterns.
The base station can also, simultaneously record to an USB memory or hard drive, and cloud storage is the primary method of accessing recordings.
There is a 'live' mode that can be triggered from the web site or apps. Note that it will stream to only one device at a time, but multiple cameras can display video.

The cameras support integration with home automation systems like wink or smartthings, and through IFTTT, integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to arm/disarm and initiate a recording. The platform isn't open so you cannot just record from a web link like on other IP cameras.
Also note that although the cameras use Wi-Fi, they need the base and use their own Wi-Fi network with its base. The security on these cameras appears to be solid. A network scanner shows no open ports on the base, which is good, and the cameras are not directly connected to the network, they go through the base station.
The images are clear in both day and night modes.
Besides the web page, there are apps for iOS (phone/tablet), Android and Amazon fire. Also there is an app for Apple TV that works great to see recordings, arm/disarm. Fire TV and Echo Show can also show live video.
While the cameras work great with iOS and Apple TV, there is no Siri/HomeKit integration. In over a year of using a system, it's not something I really miss.

Comparing to the Arlo Pro system:
- The base is the same , so if you already have an Arlo Pro base, it works the same. Having multiple bases can be useful to extend the Wi-Fi range of the cameras (Pair them to the closest base).
- Pro records at 720p, Pro 2 records at 1080p.
- Both Pro and Pro 2 are the exact same size. The only exterior difference is that the outer part of the front rim is white on the Pro 2 and black on the Pro. Mounts, sleeves and batteries are interchangeable.
- Pro 2 can record continuously (24/7), but only when plugged in and with a paid storage plan.
- When plugged in, Pro 2 is always recording, so when it detects movement, it also saves the three previous seconds.
- When plugged in, Pro 2 supports detection zones. This is very common on other cameras. From the app, drag rectangle(s) indicating which areas of the image trigger motion detection, ignoring the rest.

Overall, if looking for a reliable system with no monthly fees, and the minimum amount of fuss, this a system to get. Pro 2 brings welcome improvements on an already solid system.
The free storage offers unlimited recordings for the past week and up to five cameras. Longer retention time, continuous recording or advanced detection require fees. (Detection zones, when plugged in, on Arlo 2, is free).

Among the best noise cancelling headphones
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
Like other noise-cancelling full cup headphones, these are hefty but feel very comfortable wearing them all day long.
Construction is mostly quality plastic, with the top of the headband in metal, and leather ear-cups and on the inside of the headband.
It comes with a carrying case and the headphones have an extra hinge so they can fold more compact. This is neat.

It comes with a carrying case and the headphones have an extra hinge so they can fold more compact. This is neat.
Sound quality: Sound is full, crisp and clear, with or without noise cancelling. Compared with other wired and BT headphones from other brands, the sound is as good or better in these.
Battery life is excellent, with a rating of 30 to 40 hours depending on use. I managed to use them most of the week and the battery is still almost full.
Bluetooth: Can't ask more from it: Sony rates these as 'Hi-Res Audio' capable because it supports Sony's exclusive LDAC codec, that's capable of handling Hi-Res audio tracks. I tested it with a Sony STR DN-1080 receiver and works. The quality of sound of course depends on the input.
It also supports the AAC codec, which also produces quality audio, particularly from iPhones. Because it's the format used in iTunes Music, it should retain the audio quality over BT. Also supports AptX and the newer AptX HD codecs on some Android phones.
The range is among the best as well, even indoors.
It also supports NFC pairing/unpairing (For Android).

Mic: Very clear, better than many other headsets. A good way of testing it is using the memo recorder app, and compare.
All the functions of the headphones can be controlled via an app (iOS or Android):
- Battery level and BT codec in use.
- Equalizer: 5 bands plus bass control and several presets.
- DSEE HX: This appears in different Sony products and it helps in restoring heavily compressed music. I leave it on and it does sound better without creating distortion.
- Sound position control: This is a gimmicky feature that creates the illusion that sound comes from a side or behind, but disables the equalizer.
- Surround: Like on many receivers, it creates different echo/ambient effects. Nice for show but I end up leaving it off.
- Controls for noise cancelling: It has an interesting feature where the app uses sensors on the phone and GPS to guess the level of activity and adjusts the amount of ambient sound mixed within the noise cancelling, or it can be set manually.

Echo cancelling: I got the headphones after coming back from the last trip, so I couldn't tell how well it works on a plane, but in the office or around the house, the noise cancelling is brilliant, and I really like that the amount of ambient sound can be adjusted and can be set to voice priority (ambient voice through the speakers). It works very well. The headphones also measure air pressure to adjust echo cancellation levels.
The headphones also includes a headphone cable that can be used as a wired headphone without power and includes an adapter for older planes.
Controls: The best part is that covering the right ear-cup with one hand turns off echo cancellation and turns the volume very low. This is so when someone wants to talk to you, don't need to pause and remove the headphones. This works great.
The left side has a power button that's also used for pairing and another button to select the noise cancellation mode. For each action, the headphones reply with voice responses in English.
The left side has a power button that's also used for pairing and another button to select the noise cancellation mode. For each action, the headphones reply with voice responses in English.
The right ear-cup has touch-sensitive controls:
Double-tap for play/pause
Swipe up/down for volume
Swipe left/right for prev/next track
Hold with one finger for Siri/Assistant or controlling calls.
I'm not sold on the controls. First both sides of the earphones look almost the same, so except for the R/L markings it's hard to get them right.
The touch-sensitive controls work but not the best choice for me. I wish it had actual buttons. Sometimes when I thing I'm swiping up or down, end up changing the song.
The double-tap for play/pause isn't intuitive enough. Takes longer than pressing a button to react.
Not an issue, but I really wish it had this feature: It doesn't detect if I take the headphones off, the music keeps playing. It would've been nice if it paused.
Also, except for the adaptive noise cancelling using the app and sensors on the phone, when I turn the headphones on, it always goes back to noise cancelling. It doesn't remember if I set ambient sound on last time I used them.
The headphones are as good as they get if Sony can improve on the controls. I might eventually get muscle memory to use the controls with more accuracy, but so far after a week of daily use, it doesn't come naturally.

Sleek Workhorse
on October 21, 2017
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
Inspiron line has been for years simple workhorse laptops for every day home/school use.
The line keeps improving and this model has plenty of welcome changes.
The whole housing is made of brushed metal, the screen is a seamless piece of glass. The touchpad is large, accepts multi-finger gestures and it's very responsive.
The screen is touchscreen and accepts active pens, although does not include one -- optional, and has 360 degrees hinges that folds as a tablet. The system works well and the screen stays in place.
The keyboard has island keys with good feedback, and good amount of travel for a laptop keyboard. The keys are lighted, with off/med/max settings. It does not have a number pad, which is actually something I prefer because the keys are centered instead of having to type on the left side because of the number pad that I'd rarely use.
On the left it has a round power plug, an USB-C port that also has DisplayPort (But doesn't seem to be able to charge the computer, which is inconvenient, since many new laptops are now using USB-C chargers), a full-size DHMI port that supports HDMI 2.0 (For 4K TVs), two USB 3.1 ports and audio jack. To the right there's a security lock port, another USB and an SD card reader.
There aren't many lights to distract on this laptop: The power button has a white light and there's a sleep/charge light in the front, but there is no charge indicator when the lid is closed, which confused me at first since I cannot tell when it finishes charging.
The screen is 1080x1920 (Full HD), and it's very clear to read.
Audio is OK for a laptop, comes from the sides on the bottom.
Something I noticed is that it's much simpler to service than other new laptops: The bottom shell can be easily removed with Philips screws, and some are captive to make it simpler. The battery can be replaced with some screws and there are two DDR4 memory slots (This model has 12 GB, so one slot is 8 GB and the other has a 4 GB module). Dell site mentions it can be upgraded up to 16 GB, the 2.5"5400 RPM Tb hard drive and has an empty slot for an M.2 SSD.
The CPU is an 8th gen i7, which is currently the best, and if you're looking for a laptop to keep for a few years, this is the type of CPU to consider.
The battery is good enough around the house, but it might not last the whole day. It could last 6 hours depending on use.
Hard drive: It has 2 TB, which is plenty and more for most users , however I should've considered a smaller SSD instead because an SSD would've been much faster, runs cooler and the battery lasts longer. Although this model comes with Windows 10 Home, it supports drive encryption, which it something I couldn't do with older Windows 10 home laptops, because this has a newer TPM (Encryption) module 2.0.
There is a front camera that supports Windows Hello login, that's part of Windows 10.

Windows 10 Home supports encryption, the screen is very nice to read on, and the keys are nice to type on. The touch screen with pen support is also nice, and it's easy to expand.

Good looks, mildly 'smart' TV with clear sound and
on October 19, 2017
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
The TV frame looks great, with a very thin brushed metal bezel all around, and two metal legs. No plastic to be seen on the front. The rear of the TV is as thin as the screen, and most of the back is a single piece of metal covering the screen. From the center down, it has the components and connectors. The bottom widens and contains the speakers.
There isn't much to distract from the screen. The logo below the screen is very subtle and doesn't light up, thankfully. There is a small LED to one side below the frame that's also the IR receiver, and that can also be turned off completely.
Turning it on, there is an initial settings walk-through that's very good. I was able to set up Wi-Fi and inputs with few steps and no issues.
Smart TV: It runs Opera TV app store, and while it has many of the popular like Netflix, Amazon. Vudu, Youtube or Plex, doesn't have Hulu, nor TV channel apps. Wi-Fi works great, and supports DLNA, USB ports and Miracast (Hisense calls It AnyView Cast). Windows 10 detects the TV but couldn't connect to it to share the screen via Wi-Fi. In my opinion, having Roku, Amazon Fire TV or even Chromecast support would've been a better choice. There is an app 'smartTVremote' for phones that kind of works, but it's half-baked at best. The saving grace is that it can be used as a virtual keyboard within apps.
Inputs: It has 4 HDMI inputs, two on the side and two on the back. The two on the side are HDMI 2.0 (For 4K input). The first also supports MHL (To connect to some Android devices) and the second supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) to connect to a receiver or sound bar. The other two HDMI inputs on the back are HDMI 1.4 for HD inputs, but 4K players might not work on these. It also has analog inputs, Ethernet, optical audio output and headphone/line-out output. Two of the USB ports are 0.5A and one USB provides 1 Amp. There is also an antenna connector, and does have a tuner.
The remote control is solid, well organized, with large and easy to press keys but it's rather large, no backlight, IR only and doesn't control other devices.
Besides the smart TV apps, the menus on the TV are very intuitive, it's responsive, the inputs can be renamed, reorganized, system settings are very extensive, with good control over CEC functions, and very extensive audio and image controls, that can be set per-input. I was impressed on how much can be configured on this TV, audio settings with 5-band EQ, extensive color settings.
Audio: It has four speakers: two on the bottom, rear-firing and two towards the bottom. There's a setting for wall-mounting audio (because of the rear-firing speakers). Overall sounds good, better than other TVs we had before. However there is not Bluetooth for night watching. The TV itself broadcasts a Bluetooth signal (HS SmartTV) but can only be used for internet access -- The Bluetooth deal doesn't make much sense.
So, the best for last: Image. The screen is a 10-bit (HDR), 120Hz, 4K (3840x2160) panel with local dimming zones. It supports HDR10 but not Dolby Vision (Most TV's don't support it yet). Upscaling of HD and older videos looks very good to me. Watching 720p and 1080p content looks good, with no noticeable artifacts. HDR content from YouTube and Amazon Prime look very natural. It's not necessarily vibrant, but very natural and nuanced (Remember that this TV can be calibrated to each's tastes). Like on most other LCD TV's there's a small amount of blooming, and only shows in almost black scenes like closing titles, and it's not different than in other LCDs. Family is also impressed on how clear images are on this TV.
As for the 'Smart TV' limitations, like in most TVs, the 'Smart' part is somewhat gimmicky, and consider adding a 4K capable AppleTV, Amazon Fire, Roku or Chromecast Ultra.
So get this TV for how it looks on and off, which is very good, not for the 'Smart' factor.

Full-size Sphero Fun
on October 10, 2017
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
If you've seen other Sphero products, the Minis are very similar but much smaller, about the size of a golf ball.
The package includes a charging cable and tiny cones and other obstacles. The acrylic box it comes with is re-usable.
They connect to a phone or tablet that supports the Sphero Mini app or using the Sphero Edu apps, via Bluetooth Smart (No pairing required).
They go quite fast for the size, and the shells are strong enough to take some hits.
Unlike the Sphero (full-size balls), it's not water-proof and in order to charge them, the shell opens in two, and with the internals exposed, there's a micro-usb port.
The shells can be bought separately. We got the white and the pink. The color ones have a stripe around the shell.
The Balls light up (There's a full spectrum of colors configurable on the app), so I think the white looks better.
The Edu app is interesting particularly in technology classes or similar settings, or with curious older kids that want to create movement programs, while the Mini app is pure gaming fun.
There are various controller settings (Joystick, Slingshot, tilting, etc.), and a 'face' mode that's supposed to work by changing facial expressions, although my kids couldn't make it work.
The Mini app also has a game controller mode where there are a few skill games to choose from, and the games are controlled by holding the Mini similarly to a trackball. My 10-year old likes these games a lot.
Two issues I found that can be a concern to some:
• When trying to control more than one Mini, the app distinguishes by their factory-set code, but they cannot yet be renamed.
• Doesn't work with Amazon Fire tablets: There is no Mini app on the Amazon app store and the Edu app doesn't work with Kindle Fire tablets. It would've been great for me because my kinds use the Amazon FreeTime service.

Comfortable, clear sound
The headphones have a very simple yet classic design. The headband is a single piece of metal wrapped with leather on top and cushion and fabric inside. The headband is fused to the hinges that hold the earcups, with exposed cables.
The earcups are plastic with a polished metal cover. The inside is a very comfortably cushioned leather and fabric.

The earcups are plastic with a polished metal cover. The inside is a very comfortably cushioned leather and fabric.
Sound isolation is very good. People around you can hear the music but does a good job of isolating ambient noise.
Note that the earcups are not replaceable.
Note that the earcups are not replaceable.
Controls: There are three controls: Volume up/down and a multi-function that works for play/stop/next/back/on/off depending on how it's pressed. -- Pairing and full reset is by holding the + and - simultaneously.
There is no NFC nor voice prompts.
There is no NFC nor voice prompts.
There is a single color-changing LED (That's off during normal use, so it's not distracting), audio-in and micro-USB for charging. The audio-in works without battery power.
Sound quality: Overall, it produces a very neutral and clear sound. If you're planning on using the headphones with an iOS or Android phone, there's an App 'Beoplay' that checks for firmware updates on the headphones as well as an equalizer that's very intuitive and simple to use. In my particular preference, the default was a bit more muted and bass heavy than I'd preferred, but the EQ made it a lot better.

In my particular preference, the default was a bit more muted and bass heavy than I'd preferred, but the EQ made it a lot better.
The headphones support the Bluetooth AAC codec, and the audio quality with my iPhone was about the same as with a wired connection.
Bluetooth range is excellent. No drops three rooms away from the phone. Once the headphone is paired, the connection when powering on is very quick.
Microphone for voice calls is good. I tested making voice recordings and recordings were very clear.
A drawback is that to turn it off, one has to press the multi-function button for several seconds. The phone will first trigger Siri, start listening and then the headphones eventually turn off. The headphones also turn off after 15 minutes or so of no use.
Battery easily lasts all day. Rated for 19 hours when new.
I was disappointed that there was no carrying case included with the headphones.
To resume
Pros:
• Clear and balanced sound
• Very comfortable to wear
• Classic simple design
• Lightweight
• Long range BT with AAC support
• 2 years warranty
Cons:
• No carrying case
• Difficult to turn off
• No replaceable ear cushions
• Non-replaceable Li-Ion battery

Well built, very thick cord

Verified Purchase:Yes
The cable is built well. I had good experiences with Kanex brand products, and this cable is Apple certified.
Be aware that this cable is about 9 ft long. I got it to use as a charging cable on a sofa, but even in this case it's a bit too long.
Because it's long, it's also very thick. By far the thickest lightning cable in use. Because it's thick it's also not very flexible, and also it should be more durable than Apple cables

Solid printer
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid printer for low-volume applications like home-office.
Printer arrived very well packed, and includes ink. Does not include USB cable (Which isn't needed).
When first turns on, follow the instructions on its color screen. In my case, connected it via ethernet cable to a home router nearby. It also supports Wi-Fi. Then the menu walks through fax settings etc.
The printer can be configured from its own screen and buttons or via its web page.
It supports AirPrint and there are also apps to use its scanner from a phone or tablet.
Windows 10 doesn't need drivers to print.
Windows 7 needs drivers, but I was pleasantly surprised that there is only one download from the Epson web site is all that's required, which installs print, fax and scanner tools.
There is a 'Combo driver' available for Windows 10 and macOS with additional functionality as well,
Besides AirPrint, it also supports google print and email to print and scanner cloud, as well as scanning to USB and memory cards.
The memory card slots on the printer, by default are configured to appear as a network driver (this can be changed), which can be useful in some cases.
ADF supports dual-sided scanning, as well as printing on both sides.
Buttons are well laid out, and have a solid feel. It's color screen is a bit small but it works well for what it is, and at this price point, nothing to complain about.

The printer uses three color cartridges and one black. A reason for choosing this instead of 'photo' printers is the expectation that using 4 cartridges instead of 6 or so for photo printers would be cheaper in the long run.
Print quality is fine. Nothing special, and nothing to complain about. we use it for normal household printing, including young kids and their projects.
This model has been sold since 2014, and Epson keeps updating its firmware. At some point during installation, the printer found a new firmware (From 2017) and asked to install it. (on its own, without a computer). This attests to be a solid workhorse.
Had it for about a month with no issues.

Very little smoke
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
Grill is relatively small, good for one or two portions at a time.
Grilling any meats or vegetables does produce smoke from the food itself, there's no way around it. However this grill keeps the grease pan relatively cold so it does not keep on searing the oils and grease on the tray. The heating elements are recessed on the sides and covered by a glass.
A steak takes about 18 minutes (thick cut, medium temperature).
Heat seems consistent around the edges.
Vegetables produce almost no smoke, a lean beef cut produces some smoke and a sausage would produce a bit more smoke.
However it is actually a lot less smoke than cooking a beef on the stove.
Cleaning is relatively quick. The grill top is solid aluminum (coated black) and the grease pan is deep enough to handle with ease. It slides to one side.
The side panels are not removable, so it's impossible to keep perfectly clean, but it's simple to clean well enough so it doesn't grease up with moist paper towels.
The grill and pans are dishwasher safe, but it's simpler to just rinse them with dish soap and hot water. It would've been better if the inside walls of the grill were removable.
It comes with simple instructions and a recipe book.
The only control on the switch is off/warming/on.

I am trying to remove the memory on my workforce 3640 as I am giving it away. How do I do that?
Remove memory cards if any on the side of the printer, and from its screen do a factory reset:
Press Home -> select Setup -> System Administration -> Restore Default Settings -> Clear All Data and Settings -> Select Yes

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

I'm upgrading from a Epson Artisan 835. Can I print directly onto a CD or DVD with the WF-3620? Which Printer would you recommend?

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

Listen to music hands-free with this LG wireless headset. It lets you answer or ignore a call with voice commands, and the wireless earbuds charge when they're resting inside the neckband, ensuring they're ready for use. The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.
How do I pair this thing?
It goes into pairing mode right away when nothing else is connected to them, Otherwise,, hold the button on the left earpiece (the one with the red label) for five seconds and will go into pairing mode

No, but keep in mind it's not a noise-cancelling headphones, so can still hear some noises while wearing them.

It lets you answer or ignore a call with voice commands, and the wireless earbuds charge when they're resting inside the neckband, ensuring they're ready for use. The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.
Can I answer the phone with the earbud only, with the neckpiece?
Yes, only the left earpiece is necessary for phone calls. The neckband serves as a charging station and vibrates on incoming calls but is not required. You can get the optional charging cradle instead of the neckband.
