Good entry level racing wheel
on April 29, 2023
Posted by: Longhorn74
I love to play racing sims and I jumped at the opportunity to try out this Thrustmaster T128 Racing wheel. I play all of my games on my PC and this racing wheel was a good addition to my set up. I tried out this Thrustmaster T128 on three of my favorite racing sims: Assetto Corsa Compitizione, F1 22 and BeamNG drive. I say that this wheel is a good entry level starter because it has a slightly smaller wheel and pedal board which is mainly made up of hard plastic.
I set this wheel to my PC and it is was quiet easy to do and took very little time. The clamp is very easy to adjust and provides a good amount of clearance. The main reason why I really liked this wheel is the main reason you should consider when purchasing a racing wheel, responsiveness. The force feedback is fairly decent. You can feel it as you transition from one surface to another. A couple of other details that I liked about the wheel are the paddle shifters and the buttons on the wheel. The nice thing about the paddle shifters are how responsive they are. The buttons are positioned in a very accessible location on the wheel.
The main reason why I gave this Thrustmaster T128 4 out of 5 stars are the pedals. They are way too small and are too close together. Just like anything new, I thought I would adjust it, but even after using it for days, I had a hard time with them.
Overall, there are more positive than negatives. I think if someone younger was using this as their first wheel it would be ideal for them.

RevAir is designed to dry, stretch, smooth, and lengthen all hair types in less than half the time of traditional blow dryer / flat iron combinations. (Yes, we did say HALF the time.) Our patented technology dries hair in the natural direction of the cuticle (downward) to lock out frizz and seal in shine. And since it uses low heat, it won’t burn up your hair either. Faster, easier, healthier styling? Yes, please!

Life Changer!
on April 24, 2023
Posted by: Longhorn74
I ordered this RevAir Reverse Air Hair Dryer for my daughter because she was blessed/cursed with curly hair. It is definitely a love/hate relationship because tending to curly hair has always been a chore for her. I have bought her expensive hair dryers, but the heat has damaged her hair. When I saw this Rev Air hair dryer, I had to give it a shot since it claims to dry and straighten one's hair with much less heat and in a shorter amount of time. Both of these claims were spot on for my daughter's hair.
There is no getting around that it is a fairly large bulky appliance, but according to my daughter it is a fact that you quickly get over once you see what it can do. It was very simple to take out of the box and set up. It took my daughter around 10 minutes. Once she put it together, she put it to work on her curly thick hair. She put her hair into sections and went to work on her damp hair. Before you get started you will need to figure out which setting of tension you are ready for. You can choose between no tension at all to 7 on the scale. Next you will need to figure out how much heat you want by choosing high temp, no heat or low temp on the wand. Of you are unsure, the manual does a good job of guiding you through the process.
My daughter was absolutely blown away by how effective this Rev Air hair dryer is! She was able to get her hair dry and straight in half the time it normally takes her. Plus she loved that it didn't make her hair feel like it was on fire, like it normally does with her previous hair dryer. It is a worthwhile investment that will make a huge difference with someone who spends a lot of time on their hair. My daughter highly recommends this Rev Air hair dryer.

Excellent shaver!
on February 9, 2023
Posted by: Longhorn74
I have used this Phillips Norelco rechargeable shaver 3 times and each time I use it, my shave gets better. I had previously owned a Phillips Norelco about 5 years ago and for some reason I didn't buy new razors for it. I have to shave at least 2 times a week and sometimes 3 and I never look forward to doing it. I have really sensitive skin and even with expensive razors, my skin will sometimes still get irritated. As I stated previously, I have used this Norelco 3 times and not once has my skin gotten irritated. The other primary reason I really enjoy this rechargeable shaver is because it does provide me with a smooth close shave. Out of the box you will need to charge it to get it to full capacity, but after 3 shaves, I still have 2 out of 3 bars of juice left, so it looks like I won't have to worry about constantly having to charge it. It is very easy to clean, I just run it under some strong pressure water and it is ready for another use. Another main reason I really like this Norelco shaver is because it is a wet or dry shaver. Since I have to shave quiet a bit during the week, I don't have to worry about shaving in the shower. This Norelco also comes with a nice little pop-up trimmer that comes in handy when I have to do my sideburns. Overall, I highly recommend this Philips Norelco rechargeable shaver if you are looking for a good quality shave.

Pretty good option for hearing aids
on January 5, 2023
Posted by: Longhorn74
I have very mild hearing loss, so I was very excited to try these Sony ITE self-fitting OTC hearing aids. After trying them for two weeks I have to admit I am overall please how they have helped me. When you open the product you are given everything you need to get the hearing aids working. You will need to download the Sony Hearing Control App and this is where I experienced some frustration started for me . I read and followed the directions that are given to use the app to set up my hearing aids. Two times I would proceed with the instructions only to have the app freeze and not let me continue with the next steps to set up my hearing aids. The setup is pretty thorough to ensure that the hearing aids are at the proper settings. You can also go back and adjust the settings. I really find the directional hearing options very beneficial, but in the end I ended up choosing the auto function. After I finished with the set up and I had chosen the correct ear gels to get the right fit for my ears, I was ready to go. I was excited as I could hear all of the little noises and sounds that I know I have been missing on, but there is a bit of an occlusion effect, I have made all sorts of adjustments on the app and even changed out the gels with no change. I have also been slightly frustrated that my right hearing aid will stop working and I have to place it back in the charging case to turn it off and on to get them to reset. Have these hearing aids improved my hearing and the answer to that is yes. I ended up given them 4 stars because of my frustrations with the app, the slight occlusion and having to reset one of them . Overall, they have helped me overcome some of my hearing issues. They are extremely comfortable and very light weight, so that is major plus. Once you get the app going, it is very user friendly and I really love how they stay charged for up to 25 hours. These Sony ITE hearing aids have definitely made an improvement with my hearing loss.

Helpful for mild hearing loss

At first, I was excited as I could hear all of the little noises and sounds that I know I have been missing on, but then I started talking to people and I couldn't get over the occlusion effect, where your own voice is amplified and very boomy. I have made all sorts of adjustments on the app and even changed out the gels with no change. Has these hearing aids improved my hearing and the answer to that is yes, but I struggle when I am having a conversation because I can't get over how amplified my voice is. I ended up given them 3 stars because of my frustrations with the app and the occlusion effect that I can't get rid off. Overall, they have helped me overcome some of my hearing issues.

Difference makers!

I love these Gamer Advantage Glasses. Out of the box you will get the glasses, a magnetic polarized sun clip, a folding hard case and a microfiber pouch. I really like the folding hard case because I can through it my backpack and I know that they are safe because of the sturdiness of the case. I have only used the sun clip one time so far. It clips on really nice on the glasses and they work well if you are on a phone outdoors.
I spend quiet a bit of time in front of some kind of screen. Computer at work, looking at my phone, gaming on my PC at home and on my tablet before I go to bed. There are many times that I have had a headache by the end of the day or my eyes hurt from looking at a screen for too many hours in day. I have been wearing these Gamer Advantage glasses for 5 days and I can actually notice a significant difference with my eyes. They are not as tired as they normally are. The other major impact that I have noticed has been that I haven't had to take meds for the headaches I typically get after a large amount of screen time. That alone has totally made getting these Gamer Advantage glasses worth it! I l like the versatility as far where you can wear these glasses. I can wear them at work because they look nice on me and of course I can wear them at home. They are very light weight, so they aren't a bother on the bridge of your nose nor your ears. Overall, I am extremely happy with these Gamer Advantage glasses and I highly recommend them. You will notice a difference if you are in front of a screen for many hours in the day

Provides a quality picture
on October 23, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
I have owned previous Epson projectors and I have always been impressed with the video quality and this EpiqVision 1080p Smart Streaming projector doesn't disappoint at all in that category. Out of the box, you will notice how light it is. This really helps the portability aspect. You can take it outside, to work or keep it in your media room. It doesn't come with a carrying case, but you can easily remedy that problem. It comes with two remotes, one (white) for to adjust the settings for the projector and a second remote (black) for the Android TV. I wish they had found a way to just keep all of that on one remote, but is isn't a big problem. I really like how it is very easy to everything up. It took me about 15 minutes total to set up the settings and the Android TV. It does come with a dongle that you must use to set up the Android tv part, but it isn't necessary if you want to connect your gaming system. Once it is all set up, you will notice the quality of the video that you come to expect from Epson. I have to admit that I didn't expect much as far as video quality because of the price point, but it is really impressive. You can adjust the brightness, which will extend the life of your lamp. If you put it in "eco" mode the fan won't be as noisy and the brightness level will become slightly dimmer. In regular mode, picture is brighter, but the fan is noisier. Another big plus to this projector is the option to adjust the size of the viewing picture. This is great to have if you want to use it for a presentation that doesn't require a large picture or if you want to use it in a media room with a large picture. If you want to take this projector outside or in an area where you don't have access to a hard wire to stream a movie or a show, I like that this projector provides a couple of options. You can of course use the Android tv (Google Play) to access your streaming apps. You can also Chromecast your movie or show. Overall, I am very happy with this Epson EpiqVision 1080 HD smart streaming projector. I think it provides a great picture and it provides you with a variety of viewing options.

Great robot vacuum
on October 2, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
This is my second Neato Robot vacuum and overall I am happy with it. I had my first one for 3 1/2 years and the battery finally gave out. I had this one shipped to my home and I was very pleased with the packaging, because I knew that it was very secure and didn't get damaged in any way. If you had an older Neato like me, you will need to download the new app MyNeato, which is very easy to do and easy to manipulate. Out of the box, this Neato had a 70% charge, so I charged it for a bit longer as instructed and within half an hour I had this Neato running around my house. I really like that in addition to the Ultra performance HEPA style filter, the company will also include 2 additional filters. It also comes with cleaning tool for the get rid of any hair/string that gets tangled in the brush. Speaking of the brush, this Neato has a Helix multi-surface brush which is much bigger than most other competitors. The other reason why I have only had Neato vacuums is the design. Most other robot vacuums have the full circle design which prevents it from getting in corners, but you never have to worry about that with Neato's design. Another difference that I noticed with this Neato is that charging base is much smaller than the previous models. Another major upgrade with this Neato model is the battery life. If you set it on Econ mode, it will run up to 200 minutes which is plenty of time to clean most homes. This Neato D9 uses LIDAR to map and navigate around your home. Once you have mapped your home, you can create No-go zones in the app. You can also schedule when you want your Neato to get to work and vacuum. This new version also comes with more communication. The artificial voice will keep you informed of the current status of the vacuum.
Overall, it has done a really nice job of vacuuming my carpeted rooms and my hardwood floors. The only gripe I have is that the company removed some features in the current app that I found very useful in the previous app. Other than that minor detail, I am extremely happy with this Neato D9 robot vacuum.

This watch does it all!
on September 5, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
I have had my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro for about a week now and as everyday goes by I absolutely love it more! Everyday I discover something new that I can do with this watch that actually benefits my life. To begin with, when you take it out of the box, you can tell that you have a quality product on your hands. It is built with a Titanium chassis, which makes it very durable, but also lightweight. It comes with a Saphire crystal display which accentuates the 1.4 inch Super AMOLED display. Another nice physical aspect of this watch is the band. It comes with a D buckle sport band which closes magnetically and is very easy to adjust. As a whole the watch is kind of bulky, which can present it's challenges, like when you try to sleep so it can track your sleep. But as I stated earlier, it is very lightweight. Part of the reason for the bulkiness is the battery. The battery life on average has lasted me 3 1/2 days before I have to recharge it. Once you do have to recharge it, it is very quick. As I mentioned earlier, this Watch 5 Pro does comes with a very large display, which comes in handy when you are working out and you want to look at your stats.
What can this watch do for you? Well, it really depends on your lifestyle. For me, I rely on it at work and when I workout. At work, I can read and send messages. Since it is paired with my phone, I can see my upcoming appointments and of course I can make calls without having to take out my phone. This watch runs on Wear OS, which means you can access Gmail, Google maps and Google Assistant. Wear OS provides more functionality and access to widely used apps across devices. At work sometimes I sit at my office too long, so this watch will give me a little reminder that I have been sedentary too long and will encourage me to get up and get some movement going.
When I get home I like to workout and this watch helps me keep track of all of my workouts and how I am doing. To start, this Watch 5 features Samsung's 3-in-1 BioActive sensor (heartrate, SPO2 and body composition). As I am doing my runs, I love how this watch will call out my mileage, so I don't have to lose pace and look down at my watch. As I mentioned earlier I can also check my body fat, skeletal muscle and body water. This Watch 5 can also record an ECG and check for afib, which is the most common type of irregular heart rhythm. I am not very old, but you never know when you can take a spill. I can set this watch to detect if I take a fall and it will automatically call my designated people for help. After a long day, I will wear my watch to bed so it can measure my sleep stages, get my sleep score and get customized coaching based on how I slept. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this Samsung Watch 5 Pro and I highly recommend because you can use it in all aspects of your life.

Awesome keyboard!!
on September 1, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
The Logitech - G713 Aurora Collection TKL Wired Mechanical Keyboard is an overall great keyboard. It’s easy to set up and use. This Logitech G713 has many additional buttons rather than your standard keyboard. It has a button that can ‘disable’ certain keys to enhance your gaming experience. It has a button to change and turn off the RGB lights. It has buttons for volume and rewinding and forwarding video. The keyboard also includes what is possibly my favorite feature, a volume scroller. The scroller allows you to change your volume without minimizing your game or video. The keyboard has keys that are backlit with customizable RGB lights. The RGB lights also go around the keyboard which is a nice touch. The overall sound of the keyboard is pretty great. For me I enjoy hearing the nice tactile sound, which isn't too mechanical or quiet, when I press a key. The keyboard comes with a nice, firm yet soft, wrist rest. It’s about the same size as the keyboard lengthwise and feels amazing when used for long periods of time. The keyboard is also on the lighter side so it won’t be uncomfortable or awkward to move. Overall, if you are looking for a very versatile, comfy keyboard that comes with many great features, then you really need to consider this Logitech G713 keyboard.
