When you need the best vacuum
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
So I'm not going to say that I don't have a complaint with the vacuum I do, but they are so small that I ultimately would still consider this to be one of the best vacuums. I want to get into the positives. The value that you get with free lifetime filters is a great start. I personally have two cats and I really need something that keep up with the cat hair. I also use this for cleaning the back of a gaming computer setup that needs to stay cool and it really does take away the cat hair along with everything else really well. It is simply extraordinary. I used it to clean underneath a bed that hasn't been touched in nearly two years and it cleaned it right up. You can clean just about everything with this vacuum sweeper no matter what kind of environment that you are in. I did need some assistance whenever I was setting up the sweeper and their customer service is simply fantastic. They even went ahead and registered the vacuum and setup my warranty with it as well. I wish the setup was a bit more straightforward, but overall I am pretty pleased.

Vacuum that makes few compromises
on March 24, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
So this being my first Dyson product my expectations were high. We were upgrading from one of the vacuums that claim to be as good as a Dyson vacuum, and honestly we had a great experience with it, but we wanted to see if the hype truly is justified. While the hype is justified, I don't know if such a high price tag is. This is nearly the pinnacle of what I expect a vacuum to do. It really does clean things very thoroughly and very quickly. Everything that it does it does really well. I just don't know if I can ever justify nearly $500 dollars on a vacuum sweeper. That is the price for having the best. I needed assistance on putting the vacuum together. I contacted their support, and it was simply fantastic. It was nothing short of the best customer service that I have ever received. It's not just the vacuum sweeper. It's the sweeper, the customer service, the included five year warranty, and lifetime filter replacements that help justify what is the best vacuum sweeper on the market. The only way I can possibly see them improving is that my old vacuum sweeper had a cool feature that allowed you to press the button and it would automatically retract the power cable. That was an awesome feature, or if it even better just automatically cleaned my house like a Roomba. Lastly the person I lived with really liked the fact that it is considerably more silent than other vacuum sweepers though it still scares my cats. Great job Dyson.

Coffee Maker with Every Feature You Want
on February 8, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
So I really want to get straight into what makes this coffee maker amazing. It actually comes with a guide book on various types of coffee that you can make. It really sends me back to when I was younger and you could go into gas stations and treat yourself to a cappachino. You can make so many types of coffee with it and make so many types of iced coffee too. Coming from a guy who is normally a tea drinker it really makes me want to try all of the types of coffee in there if you don't mind drinking coffee in the evening. Setup of the coffee machine is easy too, but it does take a while because you need to let the machine have two self-cleaning cycles that both take a while so if you are quickly wanting a cup of coffee then prepared to be disappointed or have your old coffee maker prepared, but once you get going you are really going to fall in love with how many features it has and how awesome it looks in a nice kitchen. Would recommend for anyone wanting to try coffee or already loves coffee.

Quite simply the best router on the market
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: Lerotz
First of all I just want to get the biggest thing out of the way. I really like Linksys' interface for their mobile and desktop apps over any other. I've had ASUS and Netgear as well and Linksys quite simply is the best. It's easy to find settings. I can get remote access to the router wherever I am with Linksys' app, and it just works really well and is reliable. Beyond that I just don't know about the asking price of this router. I mean $500 dollars is a lot of money for a router. I know that state of the art has a high price premium with it, but you really have to start asking yourself just how much is enough. Would I recommend this for most people looking for a great home networking setup? No, there are adequate systems out there for less than half the money. Would I recommend it for someone who hates buying and setting up new routers and has a massive home? Yes, but that's a lot to ask. It is quite simply the best router I've ever reviewed, and I've had Linksys EA9500, and Netgear's Orbi Routers. Both are terrific routers that push the boundaries of what wireless networking can do and would be great for even high end Google Fiber and Comcast Multi-Gig setups. This is a router for those who must have state of the art or for those who have a lot of disposable income. I can't dock it points for being expensive. You make that decision yourself, but I can say that I haven't had any issues with it at all, and the setup process is pathetically easy.

Video Editing for both Beginners and Experts
on December 19, 2016
Posted by: Lerotz
So let's just get s couple of things out of the way for a product like this. This is my first piece of video editing software that isn't free like Instagram or something on the Windows 10 App Store. My two rigs are also above average in my opinion at running software like this. I run a hand built PC with a pretty good graphics card and a Core i7 processor. My laptop also has a multimedia card and a Ultrabook Core i7 processor so processing experiences may vary, but I would consider my desktop to be capable of 4K video rendering while my laptop is more of a portable 1080P setup thanks to it only having two physical cores and a relatively lower end graphics card. I really like this software for family projects and the interface is really nice and easy. It will even guide you through various projects if you are like me and you are a beginner, but it will also let you take control if you want to tweak with some finer details on video and create some neat effects. For me CTRL+Z was handy for getting used to this kind of work, and it even has a built in tutorial built in. I do personally recommend some sort of cloud storage for it, but I am a little disappointed that it doesn't have support for directly importing projects right from the cloud, but I suppose that would require storage on the rendering device.
Overall I am really happy with this piece of software and I think it is a great starting point for any video editor.

Pretty good Shaver for everyone
on November 25, 2016
Posted by: Lerotz
So I really want to get my issues with the shaver out of the way so that it is just out there. I have a particularly thick beard and this shaver had a hard time taking it off especially when I got to the shorter stuff of my beard so if you are looking for a shaver that is amazing at taking that off then you will be disappointed. Considering its price point I was also kinda hoping that it would come with some sort of charging cradle as opposed to a simple charger, but it is just a lay down and charge style. That being said it did manage to get the job done and I am really happy that it comes with so many attachments such that I can set my beard and facial hair however I like. I also used it to shave my head and while it wasn't particularly effective at the shortest stuff it did do a good job. The previous shavers that I had would often die from battery usage because of how thick my beard was, but this one didn't have an issue with it overall. I can certainly recommend it on that note. A carrying bag would be nice so I can keep the attachments organized as well because there are a lot of them.

Software makes the Router Great
on November 8, 2016
Posted by: Lerotz
So let's just go ahead and get it out of the way. This router can utilize much more Internet than what most people can actually feed it from their Internet Service Provider, but I want to say why this router will better utilize what internet you have such that all of your devices are best utilized. The router design wise looks awesome. It definitely looks like a high end piece of technology and while there are some high end routers on the market that are designed to blend in with normal household items this just looks awesome. The biggest thing that makes this router awesome is the support for MU-MIMO that allows it to distribute Internet to multiple devices simultaneously so regardless of if you have a lot or a little Internet Bandwidth this will help you make the most of what you have. Overall I have great performance all around with this router as it is great at distributing Internet to several devices in my home and Linksys' software between mobile apps and the built-in Router Settings for Windows Computers is fantastic.

The best vacuum for pet owners
on October 26, 2016
Posted by: Lerotz
So I just want to get one thing out of the way with this vacuum. It is a bit overkill if you have no pets or a pet that only sheds a little, but in my case we have two cats in our house and this vacuum is dramatically better than anything else we have tried in order to keep the cat hair out of everything. It is important to us because we have a frequent visitor who is quite allergic to cats and it bothers her considerably. I tried the vacuum over a long period and not only is it great for keeping pet hair within line, but it is great for flipping a house such that you can get it into the status that cat hair won't affect those who predominantly have it throughout their home. I can't see myself recommending anything else at this point because of how well it works.

Google's First Attempt is a Success
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: Lerotz
So I will be making a lot of comparisons to the LG G5 because that is the phone I went from and since they are phones of the current generation I feel that it is fair to compare the two. I want to start with the successes of the Google Pixel however and that really starts with the software experience. Google Assistant is awesome and feels, work, and looks both professional and personalized at the same time. It is the killer feature of the Google Pixel and it is a great reason to pick one up. I will say that performance between the Google Pixel and the LG G5 feels different. The Google Pixel felt faster in nearly everything that I have done and that's not to the discredit of the G5. It is amazing in terms of performance too. It is hard to tell if it is due to Android 7.1 VS Android 6.0.1 or if it is the hardware between the two phones. Google is not wrong about the camera performance of their phone it is truly amazing. That being said I did find myself missing my wide angle camera that is present on the G5. Where the G5 is a jack of all trades the Pixel absolutely nails its camera quality with it's rear and front facing shooter. The single biggest thing that I missed is the removable battery. While the Pixel does have fast charging it doesn't always guarantee you'll be set though the fast charging does seem to work faster than it does on the G5. One of my favorite things about the G5 is the build quality. It is simply fantastic. Yeah it may not have any fancy water resistance, but you just feel confident in the build of the phone. Everything on the phones software end feels just as premium as the hardware does and everything works seamlessly. It is quite simply the best software experience I have had on a phone.
Overall if you are wanting a Android experience with no gimmicks, but just done very well then the Google Pixel is the phone for you.

Outstanding Well Rounded Headphones
on September 28, 2016
Posted by: Lerotz
So I have to get straight into what I am going to be comparing these headphones to. Unfortunately everything that I have is going to be a class below these. I have had a X series headphones from Sony and I consider them an outstanding set of headphones, but they lack a couple of the defining features that this set has. The biggest one would be the wireless part in my opinion, but the noise cancellation would be another aspect. If you are needing a no compromise set of headphones then this should be a top contender. Sound is extremely well balanced and the noise cancellation is top notch. Even the passive without the headphones being powered on are quite noticeable. The are quite comfortable even over a long period of listening and they don't get very hot. Battery life is incredible. You could even keep them on when you sleep and the battery would still be running. I really like the on headphone controls and NFC makes pairing incredibly easy although it does take some getting used to not having a physical button for it, but Sony does make it with having the controls right on the included case. Sony really did have every single consideration including flight scenarios with including the adapter. Audio quality does improve moderately with using a AUX cable as opposed to just Bluetooth, but it is still incredible through Bluetooth. I can't say I have a complaint about the headphones other than getting used to the headphone controls. Good luck finding something that has as many features well done as this because I'm comparing them also to a set of Astro A40 Gaming Headphones and Audio Technica ATH-M50X and they just don't compare although they are different purposes at different prices.

Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones. The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio. The EarPods with Lightning Connector also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
 

Do these have the 3.5 connection?

No, Apple does make a version of these earbuds with the 3.5 mm connector, but these implement audio over the lightning connector.

Can I buy these earpods at the actual Best Buy store for 17.99 or can you pay this price only online?

Best Buy does have a price match policy at the time of writing this post, but you can also choose to pick up the item in store so it is a sort of redundant question at that point.

Toss this waterproof LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker in the pool and watch it float. The crisp audio doesn't stop for snow, dirt or ice, and this Bluetooth-enabled speaker can withstand a drop from 1.2m. The battery of this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker keeps going for 15 hours, and it charges your phone while it's playing.
 

How do you get the "charge out" feature to work? When I plug my charger into the speaker and into my phone it does not charge, even after I switch the source.

You must press the power button after plugging your device in.

When you preorder the phone for retail you pay 699$. Do I also pay tax on the 699$ because than it would be over 730$. Or is the 699$ with tax?

Since sales tax various from region to region it would depend. I live in West Virginia where sales tax is 7% so for me it is roughly 750 dollars.

I have a Comcast modem going to a apple time capsule for wifi. Can this be installed after that and still give me access to time capsule and increase speeds?

I would say that the Apple Time Capsule would be redundant when you can simply install an external hard drive. The point of the Apple Time Capsule is that it is a all encompassing Wi-Fi solution with hard drive capabilities built in.

Will it help to stop buffering?

Depending on if your Internet bottleneck is your router itself. If the router you have is the bottleneck then yes and this may even help you get more of your bandwidth from your ISP, but if you are not getting enough speed from your Internet Service Provider then this isn't going to help.

I cannot get internet service in my area. But my cell phone works fine. Can I use this instead of an Internet provider?

No you must have Internet Service for this to give you Internet. What is required is a Internet Service Provider and a compatible modem.
