Great front, poor rear
on January 4, 2019
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers
The V1P Plus is pretty similar to most of the other offerings in its price range, offering 1080P front camera... but the rear is inexplicably VGA. Think old school flash vids from the 90s. I can see why they'd want to differentiate between this mid-tier and their higher tier Pro model, but the difference in video quality comparing the front and rear cameras is so dramatic that it's hard to recommend this particular model. If you really don't need a rear cam, then this is a great value. The installation itself was fine, as there are thankfully multiple Youtube videos on how to wire the cam to your car's fusebox, or you can just plug into the 12v DC outlet.
Given the blistering quality of phone screens which we look at several times a day, trying to look at the rear cam footage is pretty painful. With that caveat, the overall quality and specs of the Plus are adequate for everyday use.

Embellish your device with a functional attachment by using this black Speck GrabTab phone accessory. It~s compatible with most brands and cases, and the card-sized, flat design slips smoothly into your pocket. Use the hanging loop on this Speck GrabTab phone accessory as a grip for a secure hold or as a kickstand for hands-free viewing.

Excellent idea, not as excellent in usage
on January 4, 2019

Disclaimer, despite my negative sounding header, I'm actually using this on my phone now. I used to use a Popsocket, as with the continued increase in phone size by all makers, it's becoming extremely inconvenient to use phones one handed. The one drawback to the Popsocket was that the bulk, even when collapsed, interfered with the phone sitting stably in my car mount. The Speck folds down completely flat, so the bulk is minimal. Which I thought would fix all my problems.
My main issue with the Speck is that when open/deployed, the loop it creates is a little too large to fit snugly on my finger. Therefore I still have to adjust my grip to get the perfect balance of grip and non-hand-cramping strain. It's still lightyears better than trying to text onehanded without it, and the fact that it can fit into my car mount makes up for the non-ideal finger loop.

Wireless gaming mouse that delivers
on January 4, 2019
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers
If you're looking specifically for a gaming mouse, then you've no doubt heard of Razer. They make solid peripherals, and the wireless Mamba is no exception. My previous go-to mouse was actually a wired Mamba, so I may be a bit biased. I don't play MMOs, so I don't really need all the extra buttons that come with the Naga. Highly responsive, and being able to play wirelessly is nice as the long cords can get annoying on a smaller space.
Nothing new, just good old Razer reliability and functionality.

Have been eyeing electric razors for a while now, but old habits die hard as I've used disposable razors since I was in the military. No tears shed if my bag is stolen, and I could just toss a couple extras if I knew I was going somewhere.
Having switched now, I don't think I could ever go back. Being able to dry shave when I'm late getting ready for work is amazing. The waterproof nature of this razor means you can use it in the shower for even more convenience.
The triple blade design works well, and I've not experienced any negatives with this shaver at all. The rechargeable battery lasts long enough that I don't find myself getting annoyed at having to recharge.
Highly recommend.

High quality coffee machine that looks good too
on December 6, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers
Does it matter whether an appliance looks good? In my opinion, not really, as I care significantly more about whether it does its job well. Luckily, this machine looks as good in our kitchen as the coffee it produces. Disclaimer, yes it’s still a drip system so if you’re wanting to extract full flavor without distractions then you should probably invest in a chem-x or other glass system. That said, an automated machine is much more convenient when you’re trying to get ready for work. I started with the typical brands at budget prices and after trial and error learned the hard way that it’s better to just invest in a better machine in the front end. Can’t go wrong with this one.

Remove unwanted body hair quickly and efficiently with this Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7000. One end has a contoured four-directional shaver to safely and comfortably remove body hair, while the other end has a trimmer with five adjustable lengths for trimming the hair you want to keep. This Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7000 is showerproof, so you can shave wet or dry.

Waterproof groomer so it can be used in the shower. Has two sides, one for trimming and one for shaving, and the blades are advertised as self-sharpening. I've not owned this long enough to test that claim, but I don't see why they wouldn't hold up. Works well with attachments, just a solid all-around groomer, no pun intended.

The Bose Smart Speaker 500 delivers wall-to-wall stereo sound from a single wireless smart speaker. Built-in voice control from Amazon Alexa puts songs, playlists, and more at the tip of your tongue. And you have the freedom to control the music your way - with your voice, with a tap on the top controls, or with the Bose app.

Bose sound quality with the convenience of Alexa. Small footprint matte black speaker that looks great on my counter, and the sound still fills my living room. One con is that the speaker is largely adjusted via the Bose Music app, which inherently locks to only a few music services. So if you have Spotify free, unfortunately the speaker only works with Spotify premium. Being an Alexa-capable speaker, obviously the Amazon music services are seamlessly integrated.

amazing workout earbuds
on November 1, 2018
Posted by: codeblue
from Fishers
The Tarahs were clearly designed by people who either work out or are close to people who do. Sweatproofing seems to be a common sense requirement for earbuds advertised for exercise, so the IP67 rating is expected. What's nice though is Jaybird opens up a free app to control the EQ on your buds, so you can tailor your Tarahs for whatever type of workout music you use. Sound quality-wise, do they sound as clear as my Grados? Definitely not, but crystal clear, 100% accurate, sound reproduction isn't what Jaybird was aiming for, so as long as you understand what you're getting the Tarah for, you won't be disappointed.

Keep living areas spotless with this Shark Navigator vacuum. The Zero-M cleaner head actively removes hair buildup from the brush roll for continuous power, and the Above-Floor Lift-Away technology let you access hard-to-reach areas such as stairs and furniture. This Shark Navigator vacuum has swivel steering for easy maneuverability in tight spaces.

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.
