High tech microwave that heats and cooks very well
on August 19, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
I love this Panasonic 1.4 cu. ft. countertop microwave. Before I get into the actual review of the microwave, I have to give 2 thumbs up to their customer service department. I had a slight issue with this microwave, but they were extremely helpful in helping me resolve my issue. Out of the box, you will notice how light this microwave is. This is important since it is a countertop and most likely you will move it when you reconfigure your counter space. Second, I love the design of this microwave. It looks very high tech and just has a very slick design to it with the stainless steel.
Heating and cooking: It does a marvelous job at both. I thought I would miss not having numbers on the pad, but the way this microwave is designed, heating and cooking foods just got much easier. The Quick 30 second button makes choosing a time limit very easy. You can choose the power and time with the microwave button along with the main knob. We do alot of popcorn bags in my house, so the Popcorn button was a must when choosing a new microwave. This microwave produces very will popped bags. The main reason why I got this Panasonic is the inverter technology. This technology allows your food to be evenly heated throughout. No more cold spots!
Alexa feature: This Panasonic countertop microwave comes with over 100 Alexa commands. This feature is very easy to set up. You will just need the Alexa app on your phone. It took me approximately 2 minutes to get this feature set up and it is well worth it. My wife and I are constantly shuttling our kids to activities and those really busy days it is so nice to program the microwave with the help of Alexa. I can tell it to start warming up my food at a certain time and length. When I walk in the door, our food is ready to be eaten. It has been a true time saver!
Overall, I am highly satisfied with this Panasonic microwave. It looks nice, does a great job of heating my food and it has great tech features. If you are in the market for a new microwave, I highly recommend this Panasonic.

Basic bootup speeds won’t cut it — not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that’s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.

Budget friendly and gets the job done!
on August 19, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
The Crucial P3 is my second SSD from the Crucial line since last year. I use my PC primarily for gaming and do a bit of video and image content creation so I needed a storage upgrade with fast read and write speeds to handle these applications. The Crucial P3 hit the spot on most major needs while still remaining budget friendly. It's basically plug-and-play, after installing the drive in an open slot in my PC. though you will have . The Crucial P3 was consistently able to achieve read and write speeds over 6500 MB/s. Unless you're constantly writing large amounts of data, this drive should cover most typical consumer activities like gaming, streaming, and creative work without encountering any stuttering or throttling. I found I was able to render and save 4K video content to the drive in a very reasonable amount of time.
This drive does not have an onboard heatsink, though you can add an aftermarket one to lower the operating temps to extend the life of the drive. Under heavy load testing with game mode enabled, the temps can run kind of high, but the drive continued to perform well in that range without noticeable speed throttling.
Overall, I think this drive is a very good mid-tier, budget-friendly upgrade for gaming storage and enhancing everyday computing use, including content creation. It delivers fast read and write speeds for PCIe gen 3 m.2 slots and it is easy to install and set up. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this Crucial P3 SSD and I highly recommend it!

Dell All-In-One is a homerun!
on August 10, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
This is the second Dell All-In-One that I have owned and I absolutely love all of the upgrades they have made on this Dell Inspiron 27". Out of the box you will notice the extra 3 inches that this model provides over the previous older models. Second thing that catches your eye is the clean look of this machine. It does come with a nice matching keyboard and mouse, which are fairly decent and serviceable. Unless you are really particular about your keyboard and mouse, you will not need to buy an extra pair. Just like most computers, it will take some time to get it all set up, so be prepared to put aside at least 1 hour to get it all set up and any extra time to move your essentials from your previous computer. One of the main reasons why someone chooses an all-in-one is because you are trying to save space and even though it is 27 inches, this Dell definitely doesn't take up too much space. Another plus of this monitor, is that I usually spend a good 3-4 hours infront of a screen at work and another 3 at home. By the time I get home, my eyes are tired, but this Dell comes with ComfortView Plus to help reduce harmful blue light and a flicker free panel optimizing eye comfort. Once you have everything set up to your liking, you will notice how fast this machine is. You will definitely notice the 12th Generation Intel Core i7-1255U, 16GB system memory for intense multitasking and gaming and 1TB solid state drive. I have my machine hard-wired for my internet connection, but if you would like to go wireless, it does come with WiFi6 - Wireless AX. The last component that I was impressed with was the screen resolution. It comes with a 27 inch LED 1920x1080 HD display and you will notice it. Overall, I am extremely happy with this Dell-Inspiron and I would highly recommend it if you are looking to purchase a new all-in-one.

Not too shabby
on August 9, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
The Logitech Vibe 125 headset is easy to set up with no software required. Although the LogiTune desktop app is very helpful if you want to fine tune your headset. The headset itself is light at less than 200 grams. The reason why it is so lightweight is because of the material of the headset. The mesh material make the headset light, but I feel, gives it a cheap feel to the headset. It comes with a nice little pouch so it can travel with you without worry of damage to the headset. The headset sounds great with crisp clear audio. That is until you enter a call where the headset sounds muffled. When entering a call while using the headphones on stereo, the audio will be cut out. That is my only problem with this headset. The bass is decent but not too great. The combination of a light headset and good audio quality make you feel immersed in the audio. The noise cancellation feature lives up to its name, it does a pretty good job for the price. Again my only knock on this headset is that the materials give it a cheap feel to them. Overall, I would recommend these if you are wanting an everyday headset that provides good sound and you can carry with you and aren't too concern about the look.

Nice affordable portable projector
on August 6, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
I really like this Yaber 1080P LCD Projector, especially for the price point of this projector. This is not meant to replace your high end projector that you might be looking to replace. Instead, I plan to use this more when I go on road trips with my family. Out of the box you will notice that this Yaber projector is lightweight. It comes with some nice accessories that allows you to take it with you wherever you like. It comes with a nice carrying case and some cleaning accessories to keep the lens clean. It also comes with a nice little remote and a 3-in-1 AV cable and of course a power cord. This is all you will need to take it with you where ever you like. Once you get it connected and start it up, the first thing you will notice is the noise coming from the fan. This is the only reason why I gave this Yaber a 4 out of 5 stars. It is much noisier than I anticipated. Once you get past the noise, you won't be disappointed. To begin with, you will need to adjust the lens to get it focused. In order to make the picture bigger, all you need to do is draw the projector further away from the screen. You can't adjust the height of the picture with the projector, so you will need to make sure that you place the projector with enough height. Keeping in mind the price point, the picture that comes out of this Yaber projector is pretty good. The picture it produces has enough colors with enough dark colors to provide a nice picture. To summarize, I primarily like this projector because of its portability, picture quality and price point. I would recommend this projector if you are looking for something you can take with you.

Great lights, but not the adhesive.
on July 28, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
My son has always wanted to get some string lights for his room, so I did my research and many people recommended these Twinkly dots. They are nice packaged and are easy to prepare to get them ready to install in the room of your choice. As I do with products that I am not very familiar using, I wanted to read the manual. The print on the manual is very small and I struggled to read the small print. As I stated earlier, there isn't much you need to do to prepare the lights for installing, but I was looking for some guidance on how far apart I should place the two-sided sticky adhesive dots, but there wasn't any that I could find. I was able to go online and find videos of people installing them to figure out how far apart to place the stickies. Installing them on the tallest part on the wall to my son's room was fairly easy. While I was installing them, he downloaded he app on his phone. This app is a must to fully enjoy the Twinkly dots. It will allow you to scroll through many light patterns that you are in the mood for. At this point, I was fully satisfied with this product, as the light strings were very flexible and the light that emanates from these lights gives your room a great atmosphere, especially as you are gaming. The next day, one by one the stickies started to give out and fall from the wall. This is the reason why I gave this product 4 out of 5 stars. We had to go the craft and hobby store to find additional clear adhesives that are strong enough to support the strings of light.

Above and beyond my expectations!
on July 9, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
This monitor has a very sleek and minimalistic design to it. Its thin bevel is perfect if you want to set it up with another monitor for a more seamless look. You can set it up to your standards with its great display adjustability. It is great for work stuff and I can also use it when I am gaming. You can easily adjust the settings to accommodate your needs. I love the Free Sync refresh rate and that it reduces the blue light emissions. Although it isn't a 4K monitor, this Dell has a pretty good refresh rate. It can only be tilted as the height can be adjusted and it can't be turned. This can easily be remedied by purchasing a swivel arm. Other than that, the monitor is perfect. It’s also fairly light weight and takes less than a minute to be assembled. It not only looks perfect for my office but works great. The color range is amazing and the images look breathtaking. This Dell 27" provides a wide view. Although I would prefer if the HDMI cable was longer. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this monitor and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to purchase this size of a monitor.

Flawlessly connected, Fiercely protected. Austere is moving beyond the primary function of providing power, to a place where performance, safety, and design come together to define what you should expect in power. Using our PureFiltration technology, Austere Power cleans noise and artifacts, that can travel through power lines and keeps them from impacting your devices. In addition, the Omniport USB provides rapid charge and protection for low-voltage devices. Austere also employs flameless MOV circuits and thermal protected outlets, keeping you safe from a home electrical fire. And if anything were to happen, our Component Guarantee promises to protect your equipment from damage, regardless of its value, whenever your devices are plugged into an Austere Power product. And because how it looks is as important as what it does, Austere’s proprietary aDesign philosophy elevates function through purposeful engineering and sleek design. Our surge protector power strips have a brushed aluminum housing, which creates an elegant way to power your home electronic devices. Always. Not all power is created equal. You may not know it, but your surge protectors can wear out over time. Joules–the protective layer of energy that defends your components–are finite. And when they are gone, it leaves your system completely unprotected from shock or surge. Traditional surge protectors only last a year or two so if you can’t remember when you last refreshed your home’s power, it’s likely time to do it now. And to take out the guesswork of when your Austere Power needs to be replaced, the blue protection shield icon on the Power unit will cease to illuminate once the Joules have been used. But that won’t happen for a long time because Austere Power is rated to last more than five times as long as most power products and guarantees to safeguard your system with our Component Guarantee.

Full protection and beautifully designed!
on June 26, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
I am absolutely blown away by this Austere V Series 8 Power Outlet Surge Protector! I have full peace of mind that my very expensive A/V components are safe with this Austere Surge Protector. Just unboxing this bad boy is an experience. You can tell right off the bat that you are dealing with a high quality device. With previous surge protectors I would always have to find a place to hide them, but with this beautifully designed Austere Surge Protector, it is quiet the opposite. I purposely wanted to place it where it can be seen and people have commented on it when they first see it. I have to admit that I was kind of skeptical about the advanced EMI/RFI filtration making a difference with my A/V clarity, but man was I wrong. Even my wife made a comment about the difference in clarity and she rarely notices those kind of things. You can't be the Component Guarantee, which promises to protect my equipment from damage, otherwise they will replace them, regardless of price. There are two additional details that I love about this Austere Surge Protector. First is the Woven Armor power cord that provides flexibility and strength when maneuvering through tight spaces to reach an outlet. The second additional detail that I love is the Omniport USB Charge. This Omniport provides you with 2 USB-A and 3 USB-C ports. If you have expensive equipment, you need to invest in this Austere to protect your equipment. I highly recommend it!

Keeping your home spotless is simple with the Tineco Pure One S11 Dual Smart Stick Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. Its patented iLoop technology detects dirt and dust and automatically adjusts the suction and roller speed accordingly, so you don’t have to manually select a mode or power level. The vacuum does the thinking for you, and the battery lasts longer as well. And with up to 40 minutes of run time, you can clean every room without having to stop and recharge. Additionally, the ring on the onboard color LED screen changes from red to blue when it picks up all dirt. The LED display and app monitor your progress, battery status, and function performance. They also alert you when the dust sensor needs attention, or the air channel needs to be cleared. The incredibly versatile Pure One S11 Dual can go anywhere with two brush heads included. The motorized Anti-Tangle Brush Head, perfect for carpets, is designed to vacuum hair without losing suction and avoid hair wrapping around the brush roll. The full-size motorized Soft Brush Roller is ideal for hard surfaces such as wood, laminate, and tile. Both have LEDs that light the way as you clean. Also included: mini power brush, 2-in-1 duster brush, and crevice tool. If you have a furry friend, Pure One S11 Dual takes care of pet cleaning on all types of floors as well as stairs, furniture, drapes, upholstery, or car interiors. It easily converts to a handheld vacuum to get into those hard-to-reach places.

Deceivingly powerful
on June 8, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
I have used this Tineco cordless stick vacuum for about a week and it is overall pretty good. It is ideal for small quick jobs. Unless you have a small place, I would not recommend this as your main vacuum. The main reason I gave it 4 stars, was because of the battery life. If you select the auto setting, you will get a solid 40 minutes of juice, but if you change it to max, the battery life goes down drastically to 10 minutes. I have a good amount of stairs that are carpeted, and when I used max power, it was barely enough juice to complete them all. Other than this hangup, this vacuum is great. Out of the box, you will see plenty of accessories that it comes with. I primarily got this Tineco because I have a good size area of hardwood floors, rugs and carpet on my stairs. If there is a small area to treat in my other rooms that have carpet, then this Tineco will get the job done. The two attachments that I have primarily used is the extension for the hardwood floors (soft roller) and the attachment with the brush for carpet. The wall mount was easy to install in my garage next to a plug so I can easily recharge the battery, which will take a solid 3 hours. The vacuum has an led display that shows signals if a brush roller is tangled, or if an air channel is blocked, dust sensor malfunction and wifi signal. Another neat feature of this Tineco is the blue ring around the display which indicates to you if the area needs more cleaning. If the ring is blue, then the vacuum senses no more dirt, but if it is red, then you might want to give the area some more passes. I also love the led light that the main attachments have. It is great to have when you are vacuuming in areas where the light from the room doesn't come through. I also really liked how well this vacuum maneuvers around round corners. The last feature that I liked was the attachment that is used to clean the filter, how ingenious is this? Overall, I am very pleased with this Tineco cordless stick vacuum and would highly recommend it!

Great Sport Earbuds
on May 27, 2022
Posted by: Longhorn74
I have been using these Adidas Sport wireless headphones for over a week and since I workout and run almost everyday, they have been perfect for me. Out of the box, they are very easy to pair to your device. Just press the Bluetooth button on the case and pair it to your device and you are set. Once yo are paired, I would highly recommend you download the Adidas headphones app to activate more features and configure the touch controls. Speaking of the touch controls, they are very intuitive and easy to use on the headphones. On the app you can adjust and customize the equalizer, custom actions, noise control, interaction sounds and you will receive any firmware updates. The app will also tell you how much charge you have in each ear piece. Getting them fully charged only took about 1 1/2 hours. Once you figure out which ear-tips will work best with your ears, you will barely notice that they are in. They give you plenty of ear-tips so you can find the best fit. Once you find the correct fight, they will not move from your ears. As I stated earlier, I run almost every day and every time I took them on my runs, I never had any issues with them falling out. Another feature that I love about these Adidas earbuds is that they are sweat-proof. I have had plenty of previous earbuds stop working because of too much exposure to sweat. The sound on these headphones is pretty sweet as well. The app allows you to customize your sound, which depending on the music you are listening to, can change. Overall, I am very happy with these Adidas Sport wireless headphones.
