love SHARK vacuums
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers
We currently have a smaller, lighter weight Shark vacuum in use at home. Shark seems to make solid products that do well. We've never had issues with our Shark appliances, vacuums or otherwise, so if it ain't broke, we're not going to try to fix it. The one thing we had to do with our other vacuum is periodically use a blade to cut hair that would inevitably amass on the brushroll. Once we saw Shark made a model that self-cleans hair off the brush, we didn't need to read anything else. Just more of the same easy to use design, good power, and now with hopefully no need to manually remove hair any more. What's not to like

replaced our old Ninja
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers
We had pretty much the exact same model gifted to us for our wedding gift, and it was used probably 360 days out of 365. Every morning, we made fruit/veggie smoothies to start the day, and it was great. Fast forward, and a few years later after much much use, the blades still seem sharp but the attachment point where the tumblers lock onto the blender unit itself seemed to be loosening up or something. We couldn't see any definite gaps or issues, but it seemed off.
So we replaced it with a new model. Still happy, still the same performance. Nothing negative at all about this blender. If anything, we use it more now because we've added +1 to our household.

does everything as advertised
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers
We've spent hundreds of dollars trying to find a decent, not the best even, baby monitor. We started with budget, then tried going more expensive, but we haven't found one that hit the sweet spot. The panasonic is our latest addition.
We generally trended with mostly wifi-enabled baby monitor so theoretically, while I was at work, I could watch what mommy and the LO are playing. We've actually never used that function as we typically send pics or facetime when the chance is there. So, that left a huge possible vulnerability to outside hackers for very little realworld beneft.
The panasonic uses what they call a DECT system, but basically it's self-contained so nobody is supposed to be able to hack into the connection and start being creepy. The connection works well in our small place, but I can't speak to people who live in big houses. The features are well thought out and work decently well. The one gripe is the video quality isn't as crisp as some of our other monitors, but it's "good enough" and not bad for the price.
We still haven't found one monitor that is the perfect one, but this one checks all the boxes with at least above average satisfaction overall and is safer than a internet connected monitor to boot. FWIW, it's currently still the monitor in use at our place.

the smartwatch I was waiting for
on October 1, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers, IN
I've been waiting for years now to buy a smartwatch because I felt they were all with critical shortcomings, either the battery life was too short to make wearing the "watch" worth it, or they didn't offer enough smart functions for me to give up my Tag.
Finally, Samsung's latest galaxy watch has a nice form factor, >2days battery life, and with their watchface app store, I can find a watchface that looks just like my analog watches.
Ticked all the boxes I needed, and the watch actually looks nice enough for me to wear to work comfortably. Finally.

Good vacuum with spotty connection
on September 17, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers, IN
We’re upgrading from a less expensive robot vacuum, so this is mostly a comparo.
The Neato has remarkably strong pickup, as we can tell it’s getting all the nitty gritty from deep in our carpets that our previous vacuum never got. The mapping functionality is fairly accurate, and you can use the app to draw “no-go” lines on a blueprint of your home which the Neato follows. Navigation is strong due to a more organized cleaning pattern than the random zig-zag used by cheaper vacuums.
The only minus, which YMMV, was the app for us. The vacuum seems to lose its connection, and reconnecting the vac to WiFi was sometimes pretty frustrating.
Still, when the WiFi works, the vacuum works like a dream, easily controlled via your phone using the Neato app.

Comfortable gaming headphones
on August 20, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers, IN
Everything works as described. The mic is detachable and flips up and down on a clean swivel. The auto-adjusting band works better than one would expect, and the large sponge cuffs are comfortable and feel fine even after extended use. The headphone cable is also detachable, meaning you don't have to replace the entire set of cans if you mess up the cable, which is also a huge plus.

Keep up with work using this Dell Inspiron all-in-one computer. A 23.8-inch Full HD touchscreen hides away the Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM, so you only have one unit to contend with. A huge 1TB hard drive and wireless-AC Wi-Fi ensure data storage and transfer remain simple on this Dell Inspiron all-in-one computer.

Perfect for a home station
on July 25, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers, IN
So with any desktop review, I’m sure the first thought is, “can’t I build a rig for cheaper?” And the answer is always yes. Yes, you can build a rig with the same (often better) specs as a production rig for cheaper.
But I’m not a college student looking to max out my settings on the latest games. I need a solid work station with good enough specs to let me play a few games here and there.
And this is perfect. The 23.8 in screen is a great size to be productive on. I’m able to play a few rounds of overwatch.
The touchscreen feature I’m a bit skeptical of on desktops, but hey for those that need it, it was pretty responsive the few times I tested (...before immediately wiping my screen bc I’m ocd and leaving smudges on my screen is crazy to me)
All in all, a nice convenient one stop shop setup that gets everything done well.

aesthetically pleasing router that works well
on June 24, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers, IN
My current router is pushing almost 10 yrs of age, so numerous wifi bands have been added since I got it. It also looks like a router from the early 2000s, which isn't necessarily negative, but it's not eye-catching, let's put it that way. The ASUS AC2600 looks like it could be a part of Apple's new homekit line of hardware, with its clean design. The max speed I pay for was definitely not what I was getting at home except when I ran an ethernet wire directly from the modem. Now, I'm getting at least 10 mbps more than I was before. The parental controls on locking down usage will be useful really soon as my kid's starting to get more and more interested in playing online instead of playing with his toys.

Surprisingly convenient
on June 17, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers, IN
I have a 65 in curved Samsung 4K TV in the living room which is amazing, but it's definitely way too big for any other room. The 43 in size is pretty much perfect, if a little big for the smaller room. I found Fire TV to be just fine, but the star here is Alexa's functionality built in to the remote. I didn't expect much, but it turned out to be really convenient and accurate. I guess if you have a bunch of other IoT appliances that you are Alexa-compatible, you could build a nice hub, but I don't, so I only experienced the TV uses.

best coffee maker I've ever used
on May 10, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers, IN
I love coffee. In search of a grand cup of coffee at home I've read several reviews, purchased multiple coffee makers, and talked to everyone I know that shares a love of coffee. The best-tasting coffee probably goes to my Aeropress, but the downside is the manual nature requiring precious minutes in the morning as I'm scrambling to get ready for work.
The Breville precision brewer is amazing. Aesthetically, the brushed stainless steel looks phenomenal with all of our other modern-style appliances, and is easy to clean. But most importantly, the system makes great coffee. The programmable brew option lets me have a cup of coffee ready at the same time every morning for me, so I can grab it and head out the door.
Easy to use, easy on the eyes, and well-planned design. Lots of options for different brews based on your preferences.
