The 77” Class S89C OLED 4K Smart TV is a beautiful and bright OLED TV which can be easily installed on its included stand or mounted on the wall. I am not new to OLED TVs owned both a 5 year old LG OLED and a one year old Samsung QD OLED. Both have beautiful pictures but the S89C is noticeably brighter and does a better job with HDR content. The previous Samsung also had an issue with screen burnin of the Samsung logo. This was probably due to the fact that it had been bought as an open box wall unit. However, I was not disappointed to find out that the S89C uses an LG panel.
I won't discuss the picture quality other than to say that it is oustanding both for SDR and 4K material. Samsung does an excellent job of upscaling video from streaming sources which is typically not 4K. Although Samsung does not support Dolby Vision, HDR looks great on the S89C.
The S89C utilizes the Tizen operating system which has apps for basically all major services. I found the system to be reasonably quick and with the included solar remote functioned well.
In summary, I highly recommend the S89C. It provides the beautiful picture that only an OLED can do an the convenience and reliability of a Samsung.

FREMO TP300 Portable Power Station is a game-changer when it comes to on-the-go power solutions. With one USB-C PD 100W charging and recharging port and multiple outlet ports, it offers the convenience of portable power, ensuring your laptop and other devices remain charged and ready for use, whether you're traveling, camping, working remotely, or experiencing a power outage.
Posted by: TheHodster
The Fremo TP300 is a 231 MWh compact and portable power station suitable for charging cell phones, tablets, small laptops via usb and low power AC devices such as lights, etc. requiring 300W or less. It has usb QC 3.0, PD 45, PD 100 (in/out) ports and one AC outlet, and a 12V DC 8A connection for charging devices. It can be charged itself with the included barrel connector or through the one usb PD 100 port. It also features a flashlight and a useful display panel. In many ways, it reminds me of my Bluetooth EB3A except that the Fremo is much smaller and more portable but the Bluetooth has additional features such as two AC connections, a wireless charging pad, faster charging, etc.
In actual operation, the Fremo was able to charge my ASUS ROG 16 laptop, my ASUS ROG Ally, my IPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy S22 phone, and my Ipad as well as smaller AC loads such as lights. I should, however, mention that this was my 2nd. Fremo. The first one would not work properly and the vendor quickly replaced that unit with a new one.
I recommend the Fremo to anyone looking for a small and very portable power station. Just remember that the 231 MWh capacity and 300W AC limit with determine what loads you can apply and the length of time that the battery will last.

Gas-like performance without all the drawbacks of gas. That’s what the Worx 40V Power Share 14” Cordless Chainsaw gives you. We’ve doubled the volts of our standard Power Share tools and made a chainsaw powered by two 20V batteries. Double the run time and upgraded performance but still with cordless convenience and without the smell or expense of gasoline. We’re able to achieve this on account of the saw’s high-efficiency brushless motor. It’s more durable and uses less battery than a motor based around a brush design. It spins the 0.043” gauge chain, with a 3/8” pitch, at 26ft/s. So you’ve got all the power you need to perform every regular chainsaw job. Cut 26” diameter logs on the ground or 13” diameter trees that are still standing, for instance. Auto-tensioning and auto-oiling systems keep the bar and chain running at peak performance throughout the entire life of this tool. And on-board battery charge indicators, and oil-tank markings, let you know when you’ll need to recharge or refill the oil. Plus, the quick-stop chain brake adds an extra level of safety to this saw, so you’ll know you can always shut it down at a moment’s notice.

Powerful for Battery Operated and Easy to Use
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: TheHodster
The WORX - WG384 40V 14" Cordless Chainsaw with Auto-Tension (2 x 2.0 Ah Batteries & 1 x Charger) - Black is a great alternative to a gas powered chainsaw requiring much less maintenance/preparation and creating less of a mess than a gas powered chainsaw. With its two batteries and fast charging and auto tensioning, it can handle jobs normally performed by gas powered chainsaws.
First use is very easy. Simply remove it from the box, make sure it is oiled (oil not supplied) and the batteries are charged, and you are ready to go. The chainsaw is reasonably light and well balanced and since there is no cord, it is easy to maneuver.
My initial use was to cut some small limbs off trees and to cut down some two to three inch diameter trees. These tasks were easily handled by the WORX chainsaw. I then cut kdown some larger trees and cut them into firewood. This was also not a problem although I would say that if you cut very large trees or rely on firewood as your primary source of heat, you may want to consider a slightly more powerful chainsaw.
In summary, I recommend the WORX chainsaw to anyone wanting to avoid the maintenance and mess of a gas powered chainsaw who has medium size jobs where a gas powered chainsaw may not be necessary.

Never miss a feeding with the WiFi-enabled, automatic pet feeder for cats and dogs. Give your cat or dog the right amount of food on time, every time, with the Feeder-Robot, the automatic pet feeder that allows you to set portion-controlled meal schedules from the app or the unit.
Posted by: TheHodster
The Whisker - Feeder - Robot Wi-Fi steel cat and dog auto- feeder with hopper is a unique product designed to control the amount of food your pet eats through portion control and when your dog or cat eats. The Whisker - Feeder - Robot operates via wi-fi and is controlled by the Whisker app. Food can be dispensed either manually or through a schedule. By controlling the amount and timing of the food dispersal, you also tend a have a less messy area. It is also really only useful for dry food.
In practice, the Whisker app was easy to download and setup. Schedules and portion control are easy to setup and manual feeding is a breeze. The app also works in the house or over the internet in case you forget or need to make changes to your pet's feeding while away.
The Whisker does what it is advertised to do however, I feel that it is a niche product and somewhat over priced. I recommend it if you feel that you need it's features for your cat or dog's feeding and are willing to spend the money. The ability to better control your animal's food intake can in some cases lead to better weight management and health for your pet.

Convenient and Can Handle Just About Any Mess
on September 28, 2023
Posted by: TheHodster
The Shark MessMaster Wet/DryVacuum is a reasonably small and light and very portable wet/dry vacuum that can be used in either your home or your auto. It will handle any mess and comes with a hose inlet, a squeegee tool, a crevice tool, a bare floor nozzle, a carpet tool, and a 3 piece extension wand.
In operation, the Shark MessMaster was easy to maneuver and offered excellent suction. As I mentioned, the hose inlet can basically be used for any wet/dry mess. This includes cat litter, broken glass, clogged drains, etc. I primarily used it for cat litter since that seems to be a problem in our house. The other tools are more specialized. The crevice tool was excellent at getting into small nooks in our car. The carpet tool was great at cleaning the rugs in the car and rugs and upholstery in the house. The 3 piece extension wand was useful in getting to hard to reach places and the bare floor tool and squeegee tool were used on our bathroom floors and liquid spills, respectively.
I highly recommend the SharkMessMaster. It is convenient and light and can handle just about any medium size mess you can think of.

A Game Changer - Hypersmooth 6 Video Stabilization
on September 20, 2023
Posted by: TheHodster
I recently tested out the GoPro HERO 12 Black Creator Edition, and I must say, it left me thoroughly impressed. As a long-time enthusiast of professional cameras, I've seen the evolution of GoPro's lineup, and the HERO 12 Black is undoubtedly a game-changer.
Upon opening the box, I was greeted by a well-organized box with well-written instructions on updating the firmware. I used an Android device to download the GoPro Quik application; the update process went flawlessly. I did not enjoy the two short USC-C cables and the lack of instructions on how to use the GoPro camera or the GoPro Volta.
I could not wait to test the new HDR (High Dynamic Range) video and photo capabilities; the results were outstanding. While I was capturing fast-paced action scenes during my bike ride, the camera consistently produced high-quality footage.
Just to let you know, my old microSD card did not meet the recommended specifications for this camera. I needed to purchase a faster, better microSD card to enjoy the high-quality capabilities of this GoPro 12 (5.3K 60 Resolution).
Just to let you know, my old microSD card did not meet the recommended specifications for this camera. I needed to purchase a faster, better microSD card to enjoy the high-quality capabilities of this GoPro 12 (5.3K 60 Resolution).
One of the standout features of this GoPro that I enjoy the most is the HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization with 360° Horizon Lock. It was a game-changer for capturing smooth footage even in the most challenging conditions, especially for the activities I enjoy (hiking and biking).
The Volta is a versatile accessory designed to enhance the GoPro experience. It serves multiple purposes:
- It doubles as a wireless camera remote control (98 feet (30 meters). I had the opportunity to test it at 95 feet away, and it delivered as described.
- The charging aspect is incredibly convenient, especially for video creators. It eliminates the hassle of constantly swapping out GoPro batteries or juggling multiple battery packs.
- With a 4900 mAh battery capacity, the Volta ensures I have sufficient power for my trip, like having additional 2.8 GoPro Enduro Batteries.
- It serves as a small tripod, perfect for time-lapse captures or remote recording.
- The GoPro Volta is compatible with GoPro mods and accessories, allowing you to expand to older models.
- Since it comes with a standard USB-C cable, it is a handy backup charger for my Android device.

The vertical video mode caught my attention; it is a standout feature of this GoPro 12, and it simplifies the process of creating engaging content tailored to platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
Without making unnecessary rotations on clips, tripods, or attachments, everything is from the device itself or the phone application.

Recommendations:
- A MicroSD card rating of v30 or UHS-3 is recommended.
- To open up a 177-degree field of view in 4K at 60 fps, the optional Max Lens Mod 2.0 is required.
- A cover is highly recommended to protect the lenses from scratches, weather, and the environment. The included box is too big for hiking trips or bike rides, not something you take on in your adventures.

Pros:
- The introduction of Bluetooth audio support for standard devices like Apple AirPods enhances the overall experience. You can record high-quality sound in addition to providing voice commands remotely.
- The HERO12 Black is waterproof up to 33 feet; it does not require that heavy and ugly clear plastic case.
- The HERO12 Black offers timecode synchronization; this feature caters to filmmakers and content creators seeking more creative control over their footage.
- The vertical video is convenient for what I do. No need to adjust any adapters; just change the settings right from the screen or phone Quik application.

Cons
- Lack of GPS support: unlike its predecessors, the new GoPro Hero 12 Black lacks support for GPS data. It could not be enjoyable for users relying on this feature and data for location tracking and geotagging.
- No clear instructions on how to use devices.
- The battery compartment is difficult to remove; strong fingers are required. I am assuming it is intentional to obtain a water seal.

The Ninja Woodfire 8 in 1 Outdoor Oven, 700 Degree High Heat Roaster, Pizza Oven, BBQ Smoker with Woodfire Technology is a very versatile and useful outdoor appliance. I have used other Ninja products before such as the Ninja Combi. They have all been well built and offered excellent value for the money. The Woodfire 8 in 1 is no exception and offers unique features in the high temperature, the pizza oven, and BBQ smoker with Woodfire Technology.
The Woodfire 8 in 1 is easy to setup and use. Once setup, I was able to make Artisan pizzas in under 3 minutes, smoke ribs, char steaks at high temperature, and add Woodfire flavor to just about any meat, etc. Size is reasonable with room for up to a 12 inch pizza, a 12 pound turkey, or a standard casserole or sheet pan. Temperature control is also complete with a range between 105 and 700 degrees fahrenheit.

Get ready to download more games to your gaming platform with up to 1TB of storage on M.2 2230 with the WD_BLACK SN770M Mobile NVMe SSD. Bring your whole game library anywhere, any place you go. Turbo charge and increase the storage in your ultrathin laptop with WD_BLACK SN770M Mobile NVMe SSD with PCIe Gen 4.0.
Posted by: TheHodster
The WD-Black SN770 1Tb SSD is a fast M.2 2230 NVMe SSD that can be used to replace the SSD in the Asus ROG Ally or most any other device that has a M.2 NVMe SSD slot with a 2230 form factor. Installation in the Ally is easy. You simply remove the screws from the back cover of the Ally (one actually remains in), remove the cover, unplugged the battery, remove the existing 512gb SSD, and insert the new one. You then reverse the process and you are ready to load the operating system. In my case, I did this from the Asus Cloud Recovery which was very effective. When you are done you have a faster SSD that has twice the storage capacity of the original one.
I tested several SSDs in the ROG Ally in Turbo mode using CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4; the original 512gb, a Sabrent Rocket 1TB, and this WD SSD. The results show that the WD is much faster than the original and also faster than the Rocket which is a highly rated SSD. The results for SEQ1MQ8T1) were the following:

Charge your electric vehicle (EV) on the go with this portable level 2 charger. Compatible with all plug-in EVs in the United States, except for Tesla, which requires a SAE J1772 adapter. It's compact size and 17-foot charging cable allows for flexible installation and usability. All you need is a 220 Volt or 240 Volt NEMA14-50 outlet to plug the charger into.
Posted by: TheHodster
The Rexing - J1772 portable charger - 32A is a portable, Level 2 charging cable primarily design for EVs/PHEVs (non Tesla) that can be charged from a regular 240v electric circuit. Because it is charging at 240v (not 120v) charging times are about one half or less of the time for a 120v charger. This means that a PHEV with a useable 15kwh battery like the basic Toyota Rav4 Prime can be more conveniently charged during the day in addition to overnight. Since it requires a 40-50a, 240v electrical circuit, a modification to your home electrical system may be required. This cost can usually be covered by a state/utility program for home EV electrical upgrades. For example, in the state of North Carolina, a $1100 credit is provided by Duke Utility.
I have a basic Toyota Rav4 Prime. The Prime is a PHEV with an approxiately usable 15 kwhr battery. The Rexing - J1772 portable charger - 32A charges my vehicle in 5.5 hours instead of the 11 hours with a 120v charger. While charging, the Rexing also provides useful information such as voltage, current, etc. When charging is completed, I have about 51 miles of electrical range.
I highly recommend the Rexing 32A if you want to charge your PHEV in less time or require the greater speed (voltage) to charge your EV.

DON'T LET NEGATIVE REVIEWS DISCOURAGE YOU, Windows-based PCs are notable for not being as reliable as Macs out-of-the-box, so a simple exchange or Windows customization may be the solution if you feel that you have a faulty product.
Overall, this computer is very fast, with almost identical specs to a MacBook Pro that costs twice as much. The hardware is what really makes this machine stand out from ultrabooks and Macs that cost hundreds of dollars more; the trackpad and the keyboard are outstanding and on par with if not superior to those found on a Macbook. The construction is amazingly sturdy and makes this machine feel indestructible. The hinge for the 2-in-1 feature is also very good, and I feel confident that it can last for many years with the same sturdiness.
Windows 10 looks great and works surprisingly well on this laptop, but I have experienced random audio popping sounds as have other reviewers. Perhaps later driver updates will provide a solution, but such a minor qualm shouldn't deter you from purchasing this machine by any means.
My biggest issue is the battery life, which in real world use lasts anywhere from 4 to 7 hours, which is significantly lower than MacBook Air's dominant 10 to 13 hour battery life.
BOTTOM LINE, software and Windows 10 features are essentially identical to those found on most ultrabooks, and the internals are on par with more expensive models. This is the laptop for you if you need powerful internals and mighty construction, but can deal with lower battery life than other ultrabooks.

BOTTOM LINE, software and Windows 10 features are essentially identical to those found on most ultrabooks, and the internals are on par with more expensive models. This is the laptop for you if you need powerful internals and mighty construction, but can deal with lower battery life than other ultrabooks.

Hits nail on head
August 8, 2016
Your review hits the nail on the head. A very high quality laptop that would feel premium if it were a little thinner. Only negative I've found is the battery which lasts about 6 hours for me when doing general surfing.

Experience the versatility of this 14-inch Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga laptop. It converts to a tablet when needed, letting you navigate the touch screen with the included stylus, and the Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM run multiple programs smoothly. This Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga laptop has a 256GB solid-state drive for storage space and fast data retrieval.Easily change between four modes - laptop, stand, tablet, and tent - while your system automatically switches system settings and locks the keyboard in place. The secret: ThinkPad Yoga 14's unique design, improved hinge, and touchscreen display allow the screen to flip around 360 degrees - and even lay it flat - which means you can select the mode you use based on what you choose to do.Starting at a mere 4.2 lbs and 0.8" thin, ThinkPad Yoga 14 is ultraportable - it's perfect for productivity on the go. And with hours of battery life, you can go all day without recharging.

This laptop is very fast and well built. Initially, I had some trouble installing win10 anniversary when it got stuck on boot screen. I am now running anniversary but the pen does not seem to work or be recognized. Keyboard very nice. Screen a little dull. Battery lasts me about 6 hours. All in all a very nice laptop if I can get the pen working.

Benchmarks and Dell 13.3 2-1 i5
August 30, 2016
I ran a simple win10 benchmark PC Benchmark on the ThinkPad and the above Dell. Both are nice laptops with the Dell having a USB-c and Windows Hello support. The CPU and disk results are pretty which is to be expected. The Dell ram score is about double the ThinkPad and the ThinkPad gpu score is about triple the Dell. Overall, the ThinkPad "feels" quicker to me.

Pen Charging
September 9, 2016
Does the ThinkPad 14 charge the pen when the ThinkPad is on battery? There are quite a few times when the pen is not recognized and I am trying to figure out why.

Just picked up from BB a couple of hours ago. Screen in good and tablet seems faster than previous model possibly due to more memory. Battery so far seems very good.
