Excellent projector
on October 2, 2017
Posted by: MichaelM
from Chattanooga, TN
This has to be one of the finest projectors I've used, and I've used quite a few. Color reproduction is amazing,1920 x 1200 resolution provides excellent clarity, and at 3600 lumens it is plenty bright for almost any room. Because the lamps are LCD, the projector, while not billed as a portable, is plenty small to take with you.
Connectivity is excellent, as well. It has the standard VGA, as well as 2 HDMI ports. It also has Miracast built in, so you can mirror your screen wirelessly with just about any Windows computer or Android device. Keystone correction is a breeze with a slider on the top of the projector, and I like the ability to protect the lens with a built-in sliding cover.
Projectors aren't known for great sound reproduction, and the EX9220 is no exception, though for smaller rooms it is perfectly fine.
Epson claims 6000 hours of lamp life in normal mode, and up to 10,000 in ECO mode. Not too shabby compared to non-LCD projectors, which average around 2,000 hours.
In the end, though bells and whistles are nice and this projector has plenty, you want a projector that makes your images, movies, or presentations look good, and the Epson Pro EX9220 does that with flying colors.

One mean router
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: MichaelM
from Chattanooga, TN
Let's get the superficial stuff out of the way first--this is one mean-looking router. Sure, the way it looks doesn't affect performance, but it sure does look good sitting next to...just about anything.
Now, for the stuff that really matters. First this is a router. It does what routers do for everyday internet and local access, albeit considerably faster and with much better coverage than the average router. However, if you are a gamer and you always seem to be just a split second away from getting the upper hand on your gaming buddies, there are 2 possibilities. 1) You just aren't very good a gaming and you'll just have to live with it, or 2) there is so much traffic on your router that latency is allowing your friends to trounce you. While there's not much you can do about scenario 1, for scenario 2 there is a solution--the Linksys WRT32X. This router lets you prioritize gaming traffic, and sets it up automatically if you have a killer Ethernet port or wireless adapter. Otherwise, prioritization can be set up manually.
Truthfully, you will only notice a difference in speed if there is other traffic on your network. For example, if someone else is streaming video while your in a desperate struggle to save the world from tyranny and chaos. If you live a solitary, lonely life with nobody else in the house, you probably don't need the Linksys WRT32X. For the rest of us, the extra speed and low latency it provides through prioritization is a definite edge.

For the rest of us, the extra speed and low latency it provides through prioritization is a definite edge.
Now, for the cons. There's really only one. If you get a Linksys WRT32X you no longer have an excuse for being bad at gaming.

Easy backup solultion
on September 15, 2017
Posted by: MichaelM
from Chattanooga, TN
The best backup solution is the one you don't have to think about. The WD My Cloud Home is just that kind of backup solution. Setup is super easy through a browser. You just create an account, then enter the code on the product card that comes with the My Cloud, and the device is connected to your network and ready to go. You can set your devices to back up automatically, including computers and Android or iOS mobile devices. To allow others to use your My Cloud, just send them an invite through the app.
So, set it up and forget about it knowing your stuff is safely backed up. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Great printer, not so good web app
on August 16, 2017
Posted by: MichaelM
from Chattanooga, TN
First, let me say this is a great printer. It's fast, prints excellent photos, and has just about every feature you could want in a printer. The touch screen panel makes it easy to accomplish tasks without a computer. From this panel you can fax, copy, or even scan directly to Google Drive or Dropbox.
My only complaint is that the HP Printer Assistant app, part of which allows you to scan documents or photos, doesn't show the buttons--at least not on my Windows 10 computer. I can see rectangles, but you have no idea what these buttons do unless you hold the mouse over them. I'm sure HP will fix this issue, but it's an inconvenience until then. Otherwise, this is a highly recommended all-in-one, especially if you need fax capabilities.

Excellent player

It does exactly what you'd expect from a Blu-ray player, with the added benefit of being able to stream from your favorite services. Setup is a snap and playback quality is excellent, especially with 4k content. I also like the simple menu, which includes options for playing a disc, or using an app for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, Pandora, and others. If you don't already have a streaming player and need a Blu-ray player, this is an excellent option, especially if you have a 4k TV.

Prepare healthier dishes with this DeLonghi Multifry low-oil fryer and multicooker. It lets you enjoy your favorite fried recipes with less fat and without deep-frying, and its automatic mixing paddle does the stirring for you. The surround heating system of this 60-oz. DeLonghi Multifry low-oil fryer and multicooker provides even cooking.

I'm a athlete, so I try to eat healthy. However, man does not live by whole grains alone, which is why I decided to try the DeLonghi MultiFry. At least, I reasoned, I could feel better about eating fried foods. I'll admit I was skeptical when I read you could fry potatoes in just 1 tablespoon of oil. But I was pleasantly surprised that not only does the DeLonghi MultiFry do what it claims, the fries were as good as any I've ever cooked in a pot of oil. And if you like stir fry, this thing is very convenient. Just throw everything in the bowl and the mixing paddle stirs it for you while it cooks. DeLonghi even has a recipe app with tons of things you can make with the MultiFry.
I'm not usually a fan of kitchen gadgets that take space on the counter or in the pantry, but this is a useful, time-saving product that helps you eat healthier. It's definitely worth the storage space.

The JBL 310s are one great sounding pair of headphones. There is bass, but it's not overwhelming, and there is a depth to the sound coming from these that I don't hear from my other, more expensive headphones. Sound is very subjective, but I believe the 310s are very balanced. The built quality is excellent, as well.
On the negative side, there is no way of knowing if the battery is low. Also, the manual was surprisingly poor with very small print, and the English sections were all over the place on one big sheet of paper. Currently, JBL does not have a manual that can be downloaded from their site. Also, the 310s are the on-ear type. Though they are not initially uncomfortable, after a while having my ears pressed against my head became uncomfortable, but to each his own. Lastly, the controls can be difficult to master. But let's be honest. Headphone controls are all small and you can't see them with the headphones on your head, so it's just a matter of getting used to them and their location.
From a sound quality perspective, these are hard to beat, especially for the price. For me, the sound quality overrides the few negatives, including comfort over longer time periods.

Ensure maximum comfort from this Logitech mouse. The precise ergonomic design ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day even if you're a power user, and the additional side button lets you create a custom setup. Smooth gliding is assured from this Logitech mouse thanks to the low-resistance base that slips over any surface.

The power user's mouse
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: MichaelM
from Chattanooga, TN
This is the ultimate poweruser mouse. It works on any surface, the battery lasts forever on a charge, it has 7 buttons to do just about anything (including a side-scroll wheel), and it's very comfortable to use. If these features were the only thing you got with this mouse, it would be pretty awesome. But where the mouse blows me away is with its ability to work simultaneously on up to 3 computers. Logitech calls the software Flow. As long as your computers are on the same network, you can move the pointer from screen to screen without missing a beat, almost like extended desktops in Windows, but with entirely different computers, including Windows and OSX.
If you are a multitasker or work on multiple computers, this mouse is a must-have.

These headphones have to be the most secure-fitting, in-ear headphones I've ever worn. If that's not your experience, make sure you try one of the other 6 pairs of different sized tips.
Because they are IPX5 rated, you won't need to worry about sweat or rain. You can even rinse them off...which is a good thing since if you use them for the intended purpose they will get sweat on them.
The cable cinches are a nice addition, as well, allowing you to take up extra cable length, and the inline remote is a nice feature for adjusting volume and advancing tracks.
The sound is good, with excellent bass. It might be a little bass heavy for some, but I would argue that while exercising strong bass is not a bad thing.
If you want some great fitting, comfortable wireless headphones that are water and sweat resistant, with some serious bass, these could be the ticket.

Verified Purchase:Yes
At this price point, this is a very impressive phone. I will most likely always be a Windows Phone fan, but currently there just aren't enough apps available for the platform. So, I decided to jump ship and started looking at options. I don't particularly care for Apple (not to mention the attitude of many that use Apple products), and I'm not going to pay more for something than it's worth. So, no iPhones here. I had decided on an Alcatel Pop 4s, so I went to Best Buy to pick it up. While I was there I saw the Honor 6X with its dual camera and 3GB of RAM, curved glass and nice build quality and decided, without doing any research, I would pay the extra $75 and take a chance. I've since read reviews (I know, that's a little backwards) and I haven't read a bad one yet, which supports my experience with the phone.
So, it's not an $800 phone. The dual camera setup is pretty cool and takes great pictures, but it's probably not as good as an $800 phone's low light capabilities. But the screen is excellent, and the octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM keeps things humming along nicely. Yes, there are high end features you'll be giving up like fast charging and USB C. But it charges pretty fast and I don't really need USB C at this point.
The user interface Huawei put on it is called EMUI and though I've read reviews where people don't care for it, I actually like it. It does away with the app drawer and puts new app icons on the screen where you can get to them, as well as a host of other beneficial features, without causing lag like some interfaces. And battery life is pretty impressive. Even if you are a heavy user, you should easily get a full day out of it. I can stretch it to 2 days when I need to.
If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive phone that does almost everything the S8s and iPhones can do at a third of the price, this is a great choice.

Cleaning up after pets has never been easier than with CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro, our BEST CrossWave multi-surface cleaner for homes with pets. It vacuums and washes at the same time, across sealed hard floors and area rugs, combining cleaning steps and saving you time. It’s perfect for grab and go cleaning of frequent pet messes with up to 30 minutes* of hassle-free, cordless run time and it weighs just over 10.5 lbs. Our pet parent engineers incorporated three different cleaning modes: Hard Floor Mode, Area Rug Mode and TURBO PET Mode to boost cleaning performance, especially for pet and everyday stuck-on messes. CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro multi-surface cleaner also has LED headlights to illuminate pet hair, dirt and debris while cleaning along baseboards and in corners. And unlike when you use a mop and bucket, there’s no need to worry about putting dirty water on the floor while you clean, since our Two-Tank Technology keeps the clean and dirty water separate. When you’re done cleaning, CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro cleans itself! It has a self-cleaning cycle that rinses the brush roll and inside of the CrossWave with clean water, so there’s less clean-up after cleaning. Plus, it comes with two trial-size bottles of our PET Clean + Natural formula and two PET Multi-Surface Brush Rolls. And this machine doesn’t just clean up after pets, it helps save them! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We’re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.
Does it come with docking station, and if not, does Best Buy sell?
Yes, it comes with a docking station.

Does this camera work with just my wifi or is it on the cloud and does it require a monthly service fee?
The video doorbell will work, but functionality is pretty basic. You get notifications when there's motion, and you can watch live video to see who's at the door. But without a subscription you cannot record motion or live video, and you cannot take photos. From my experience, this is pretty much the norm for video doorbells.
