The Shark Steam & Scrub scrubbing and sanitizing* steam mop gently scrubs and sanitizes* all at once. The combination of steam and rotating pads delivers up to 2x better stuck-on stain removal vs. traditional steam mops** on sealed hard floors. This deeper cleaning removes dust, residue, grease, and bacteria while providing chemical-free sanitization*.

The Shark Steam & Scrub makes scrubbing floors effortless!
Design
The Shark Steam & Scrub is very sleek, light, and easy to carry. There is only one button. This is a four-way toggle between the "Light", "Normal", and "Deep" cleaning modes and the "Standby" mode. The button has a strange squishy feel to it and it presses in farther than I expected but it works consistently and isn't difficult you use. There is a pull out spout for you to fill the water reservoir. The spout works very well and makes adding water a spill-free process. Four cleaning pads are included and they're machine washable. They are easy to attach. Just set them on the floor next to each other and press the Steam & Scrub down on top. They attach easily and securely. When you're done, you're supposed to pour out the water through the same spout that you use to pour the water in. It doesn't pour out as gracefully. It's not bad but it tends to splatter a bit. That was the only thing I didn't like about the design and is not a big deal to me.

Cleaning
Our floors were not very dirty but there was some nasty grime under the corner of the refrigerator. I put it on "Deep" cleaning mode and made a few passes and sure enough, it got it off. It's not a matter of pushing hard. You just let it glide over the surface. Though it turns very easily it's suggested the you clean with forward and backward motions. I'm very happy with how well it clean, especially given the amount of effort required, which is very little.

Ease of use
It's very easy to use! There are some things I would not have guessed without reading the directions. For instance, when turning it off you should put it in "Standby" mode first, put the handle in the upright position, and then
unplug it from the wall. Really, though, it's very easy to use with just one button. Once you have it on it takes about 30 seconds to start steaming and then you're ready to go. The discs will start spinning as soon as you pull it down from the upright position. It just glides over the hard floor surface. It turns very easy but the cleaning is to be done primarily with forward and backward motions. You can't really do anything wrong. Turn it on and it cleans.

Read the Manual
There are some surfaces you shouldn't use it on, for instance wood that isn't sealed or surfaces that are waxed. They also list recommended settings for different types of floors. It also says you should not hold it in one place, but keep moving it.

Small Projector with Great Picture - Easy to Use
on July 28, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The Miroir M600 is the best truly mobile projector that I've seen! It's basic, with no smart features or extra settings but it gets the job done with good 1080p image quality and is simple to use.
Design
The M600 is a very portable projector. I wouldn't exactly call it a pocket projector but it does mostly fit in the pocket of my cargo shorts. You can see a picture I uploaded of that. It has a USB port to power other devices or charge your phone. There is an HDMI port and a USB-C port for video input. There is also a 1/8" stereo output jack. There are three capacitive touch buttons on top: volume down, an "M" button, and volume up. If the projector is not plugged in you can touch any of the buttons to see the battery level. There are four dots on the back-right of the projector that indicate the power level. There is no height adjustment underneath but there is a camera/tripod mount. I usually use it on a tripod. Keystone is automatic and works well. If you move it and want it to re-auto-keystone it may do so on its own or you may need to turn it off and then back on to do that. It's not a big deal though. The focus is manual with a dial on the left side near the front. To turn it on you open the lens cover and turn it off by closing the lens cover - waiting a few seconds after each. The projector is very quite too. I did test the USB port and HDMI port with a MirrorCast adapter that's powered by USB. So the projector was running off battery and powered the adapter which was then connected to the HDMI port on the projector. It flashed on and off for a few minutes after it started but then stabilized and worked fine. I didn't use it long, and this would drain the battery fast, but I probably used it for 15-30 minutes completely of battery, trying different content on it. There are four rubber feet on the bottom of the projector that come off pretty easily. They're easy to stick back on and could probably use a little more/stronger glue.

Brightness
The M600 is brighter than I expected for a 600 lumen projector. I think the brightness is great for a small projector. With corner table lights on in the bedroom we can see the picture very well when projected on the wall.

Image Quality
This little DLP projector does native 1920x1080 resolution - 1080p! It accepts 4K input as well and down-scales it to 4K. I used it with video, movies, and still images and the quality is very good. I think the colors look a little washed out but you don't think about that when you're using it. You can see all the colors well and the quality is really very good! They say it will do up to 120" diagonal and I was able to do that at 135" away from the screen. Not only does the picture look great at that size but that didn't seem to be any kind of focus limit or anything. I was able to go back farther and get a larger image that still looked great. There is no adjustment for making the image larger or smaller. You need to change the projector's distance to the screen/wall. I was not able to get the focus perfect for small text projected from a computer on the top and the bottom of the screen at the same time. When one was in focus the other was slightly off. It's still very good and you would never notice it for most things like normal video or photo viewing or any normal text people would display on a projector for any size group.

Battery
It claims to have up to 2 hour battery life. In my use so far I may have gotten 2 hours of use once or twice but it seems to be less than that a lot of the time. I wouldn't count on more than an hour or so. It's probably better when using a bluetooth speaker instead of the built-in speaker. I didn't get enough clear data to know how much of a difference that makes.

Audio
I tried it with the built-in speaker, a bluetooth speaker, and a wired external speaker connected to the 1/8" stereo out jack. All methods worked without a problem. The internal speaker is nothing special but does work fine letting you hear voices clearly and you can hear the music and other sounds playing. I'm pretty sure there is only one speaker. I played some stereo test videos on youtube. The left channel didn't play through the internal speaker, only the right channel. The same test videos played both channels through a speaker connected to the 1/8" stereo out. Using the internal speaker to watch movies, listing to music, and playing youtube videos I never noticed a time where I was missing voice, music, or any other audio except for the actual stereo tests.

Ease of Use
This is very easy to use, but there are not a lot of settings to change. Again, the keystone control is automatic, and works well. The focus is controlled by a dial on the left side. Then there is the volume up and volume down on top. To turn it on or off you just open or close the lens cover. Because it's not a smart projector you will probably never even need to install an update on the thing.

Quality Tweezers with Versatile Tip
on June 15, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The Tweezerman Mini Slant is the best tweezers I've ever had! It's very functional and a great size plus it travels anywhere!
Parallelogram Tip
I love the parallelogram tip for two reasons. First, instead of the two prongs only touching on the tip they come together on a parallelogram. This means that besides the very tip, which is a line segment on many tweezers, you have the sides of the tip that are completely usable too. This makes the Mini Slant a versatile hair extraction device. Second, slanted tip gives a point that can be used for precise work. The next time I have a splinter I look forward to using the Mini Slant to extract it! I included a picture that you should be able to see the tip on.

Grip
The rubberized grip is fine. I like the look of it. It didn't make it feel easier to hold or less slippery to me but I never really had problems with tweezers slipping out of my hands.

Size
I thought it may be too small but I was very happy with the size. I'm not sure why I would need a larger tweezers anymore. This works as well or better than any other one I've used and I prefer the tip on this to others I've used. I included some pictures of it next to a golf ball for comparison.

Travel Tube
It comes with a tube to put it in. While I don't need a different one for home and away, this one conveniently travels anywhere in the tube with easy. I have a small zipper pocket that I usually don't use. It fits in there easily. I've started to take it with me sometimes just because I can. You never know when you might need a tweezers!

Powerful Quality Sound and Great Features!
on June 14, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
With great sound quality, volume, battery life, inputs, and features the XP500 is an awesome party speaker that can do more than just be a speaker!
Sound
I'm blown away by the volume and quality of the sound! The tweeters produce a strong high end that comes through strong and the woofers are loud and quality. I listened to vocals, classical, drums, guitars, electric guitars, deep bass, and even just TV. The sound is excellent all around, rich, full, and clear. It has no problem filling a room with quality sound. I was extra impressed by the bass! The XP500 has some sort if rear-firing sub-woofer but it produces a very strong ambient bass - so it's not at all like the bass going the wrong direction. I was clearly able to hear it and feel the bass it everywhere!

Easy to Use
There are just a handful of large, easy to read, easy to push buttons on top. The default settings give incredible sound! It's easy to plug in to another device or to pair it to a Bluetooth device. For many functions like customizing the lights (you can turn them on and off with a button on the back of the speaker) you'll need the Sony Music Center app and the Sony Fiestable app. These apps let you see the battery level, give you custom EQs, select music to play from a flash drive that's connected to the speaker, Karaoke features, vocal effects, and more.

Inputs
I love the inputs on the XP500! It has an 1/8" stereo line-in, and two other 1/4" line-ins for a mic. The second mic input also has a button to make it a guitar input so you can use this speaker as a guitar amp. Not only that but both of the 1/4" inputs have a dial for independent volume control. There are also two USB ports that you can use to charge devices or plug in a flash drive to play music.

Stereo
Due to the design with two woofers and two tweeters, with each of one type across from the other, this speaker actually does provide stereo separation! It automatically senses if it's in vertical or horizontal orientation. When vertical, it give left/right separation with the tweeters, when horizontal, it gives left/right separation with the woofers. The speakers are not far apart so you may not always notice it but I tested up close and sure enough, it does it! I'm impressed that not only did Sony do this but they put a sensor in to adjust for orientation. When horizontal you will only lay it down the correct way because there are feet on the one side. It's we'll though out and a cool bonus even if not needed in a speaker like this.

Battery Life
The battery life is excellent! I've been using it a lot and I'm really impressed at how long it lasts. I have the lights on almost all the time and of course the volume level will make a huge difference in battery life but I'm impressed, great sound and I haven't had to think about the battery. There is a Stamina mode you can enable if you need it to last longer. Hold down the "Mega Bass" button until the "Stamina" light comes on. This speaker plugs into an AC outlet to charge. It does not charge off USB, but it will charge other devices over USB.

Also!!!
This speaker is water resistant. While it's not made to handle any direct spraying it should be fine with the occasional splash. It also supports Party Connect to connect up to 100 Party Connect speakers together and have them play the same thing! With a second identical speaker you have the option of using them as the left and right channels for stereo audio or having them play the same thing.

Warning!
I discovered Sony has two incompatible wireless speaker connectivity technologies. One is Wireless Party Chain and the other is Party Connect. The XP500 supports Party Connect and will not connect wirelessly with Sony speakers that support Wireless Party Chain. Make sure you're aware of this if you plan to connect it to other speakers wirelessly.

Looks Great, Quiet, and Easy to Move

I love the look, size, and function of the PureDry Deluxe Dehumidifier. It's easy to move around, easy to use, and works well!
Dehumidification
I was very happy with how the PureDry pulled water out of the air. The box says it will remove up 20oz of water. It pulled water out and filled the tank which is what I expected. It stopped when full as it's supposed to also.

Design
The PureDry has a clean, sleek look to it. There are only three capacitive buttons on top. Each one has lights to indicate auto shut-off time, power on/off, and fan speed. There's a slot in the front of the unit to show how much water is in the tank. There's a handle at the top of the back of the unit that makes it easy to pick up. The tank is accessed from the back. There's a place in the back water tank where you could connect a tube for it to drain. No tube is included, just the plug you need so that water doesn't leak out.

There are three buttons on top. A simple touch will activate them. One button is for the shut-off timer, which can be set to off (run continuously), 4 hours, or 8 hours. The when the water tank filled the unit shut off, just like it should. It's easy to pull the tank out and empty it.

Noise
There are only two speeds, low or high, but I think that's all it needs. Low is quiet. I can hear it in a quiet room but it's a soft hum, not annoying at all. With anything going on in the room at all I totally forget it's even there. High is much louder but I it is still an acceptable noise level for me to be in the room where it is. With this on low it's idea for a room with people talking.

Fast Chromebook with Great Screen
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
This is a really fast Chromebook with a large and bright screen!
Speed
My favorite feature of this Chromebook is the speed! This thing is fast! One thing I like about Chromebooks is that decent Chromebooks are fast - the startup, shutdown, sleep, wake, and browsing are all very snappy. Everything is just fast and smooth. This one is by far the fastest Chromebook I've used. I ran a browser based performance test and somehow this 11th Gen i3 beat a 10 Gen i7 that I have. This Asus 2-in-1 was 2/5ths faster than the i7! The i7 was running the latest version of Chrome in Windows. Besides that the disk performance seems very fast for a Chromebook. 128GB of storage is very generous for a Chromebook and they didn't cut corners on the speed of that storage. It launches large apps quickly, where I'm used to waiting longer on other Chromebooks. I'm not saying this will be faster than an i7 in general but this Asus 2-in-1 Chromebook is faster in at least one browser based benchmark than my i7 Windows laptop. It feels very fast when web browsing and when running Android apps. The 8GB of RAM is generous for a Chromebook and I'm sure that helps things stay smooth as well.

Design
I really love the 2-in-1 form factor for Chromebooks because they run Android apps and many of those work better on or are designed for use in a tablet form factor. It's great having the huge screen too. Some may not like the fact that the outside of it is plastic but I actually like that in mobile devices because it doesn't interfere with radio signals like Bluetooth and WiFi. I love the fact that Chromebooks in general are low maintenance, they mostly take care of themselves. Updates are fast and almost transparent after the initial setup. The fact that this one is extra fast, compared to Chromebooks that I've used, is a bonus. You can charge it from either USB-C port and there is one one each side near the back. It's really handy having a charging port on either side! The keyboard has a great feel. Love a back-lit keyboard. It's very easy to read in the dark, I'm actually typing in the dark now. They keys have a great feel to them. The size and travel of they keys feels good. Besides the large screen itself, a benefit of having the large screen is you get a numeric keypad on the side too. The keys on the numeric keypad are a little smaller than the others, very noticeably, but it's still very usable and better than no keypad.

Screen
The large screen gives me a large amount of screen real-estate and touch-friendly buttons. Besides spreadsheets, which are great with a larger screen like this that doesn't require scaling, it's also great for some other things like app versions of board games. In other words, the screen is big enough that it's easy to touch buttons without losing the benefit of the high resolution. The screen is bright with excellent viewing angles from all four sides. The colors look rich and accurate.

Sound
This Chromebook has Harman/Kardon audio. Music I listened to sounded as good or better than other laptop I've listened that supposedly have some kind of special audio. I wouldn't say it sounded like it was surround sound but the sound was full and rich for a laptop. The volume was good too. The speakers fire out the front right sides at an angle and bottom.

Battery Life
The battery life of this Chromebook is great! I'm used to getting good battery life from Chromebooks and this Asus 2-in-1 is no exception. I have noticed that a cooling fan seems to run fairly often but I've still been getting excellent battery life in spite of that.

Overall
I love the speed, battery life, and large screen of the Asus 2-in-1! It's so quick and easy to pick up and use and with the low maintenance of a Chromebook there are few interruptions and they're short when they come. It's useful for a large percentage of my computing needs and very convenient!

Small, waterproof speaker with great sound!

Small speaker with big sound.
The Mini 3 Pro is small but has a rich full sound speaker
Sound
This little speaker puts out a strong, rich sound! I played a number of different styles of music on it and was impressed with the results. Not only are lyrics strong and clear but bass lines really come through too! It has great volume and bass for the size.

Design
This speaker is small and light-weight!!! It's very easy for me to take it anywhere because of that and the small loop/lanyard that's attached. It's also completely water-proof so there are no worries when taking it to the pool. The bottom of the side has the buttons on it. They're the same color and material as the rest of the speaker but they stick out so you can feel them. There's a power button, volume up/down, an action button that you can use to active the assistant on your phone, and a Bluetooth button. There are also a series of 12 LED lights around the top that really just form a band of color. It can be the same color or different colors. A quick press of the power button will turn the colors off if you don't want them but you can do a lot more with the colors using the SoundCore app. It uses a USB-C port to charge, which I'm a fan of since I've got a number of USB-C devices. It does not have an 1/8" stereo in jack so the only way to connect to it is by Bluetooth but that's usually what I use anyway. It supports Bluetooth 5 so that's good! There's a rubber door that goes over the USB-C port to protect it from water. It also has a very grippy rubber bottom.

SoundCore App
The SoundCore app is an easy to use way to control the functions of your speaker. It will let you change the EQs and volume but the most interesting thing is the light control. It comes with a handful of different light effects such as Party Time, Bouncing Beats, and Cool Breath. You can also edit the effects by changing and selecting colors. I liked the multi color mode that was the default but like it even more when I customized the effects, changed the effect, and made it a single color. The SoundCore app also checks for new firmware for the speaker and updates it. The app is also needed to update the firmware of the speaker. The app makes that easy, letting you know when there's an update.

High quality, easy to use, 1080p monitor
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The HP M24f is high quality 1080p monitor with an excellent design and feature set.
Image Quality
Though 1920x1080 isn't a high resolution for a 24" display it sure looks good on this monitor! The colors are rich and vibrant! The viewing angle is excellent too. I can look at it from sharp angles horizontally or vertically and the image is still visible. I was surprised when I realized it has a low blue light mode that's always on. In fact, I opened an image of a color wheel and it looked normal and perfect. I use three monitors for work, this being the third, and comparing images across the three this one looks the brightest and the colors look as good or better than on the others. So I don't know how they're doing it but they have a way to reduce blue light being emitted without hurting the color quality - at least not that I could notice. It does have a "night mode" and that makes the display look like I would expect for a mode that reduces blue light. Obviously it's taking out a lot more blue but that's what it's supposed to do. The fact that I can have reduced blue light all the time without noticing it is awesome! The monitor is "eyesafe Display" certified which apparently has to do with reducing blue light and maintaining high color quality. There is also an "HP Enhance +" feature in the "Color" options. It seems to adjust the sharpness of what's on the display. I tried getting photos to show the difference it makes but that didn't work and since it's an effect applied by the monitor I can't get a screenshot showing the difference either. Anyway, it makes fine details more visible. For instance, hair on someone's head or details of a mountain in the distance in a photo. I've never seen a monitor do that!

Design
I like the thin top and side bezels of this monitor. I also like the design of the base while it doesn't swivel side to side it does tilt up and down and you can always turn the whole unit side to side anyway. I took some pictures of the base and the cable management for you to see. The base is easy to put together and the cable management works very well to run the power and video cables. It won't get too crazy since there is only one HDMI port and one VGA port. They get points for including VGA! While not used as often anymore there are still tons of systems out there that have VGA and no HDMI so it's good to see it there. There are no USB or audio ports on it. This monitor also supports AMD FreeSync for gaming.

Ease of use
I've worked with many different on screen menu systems for monitors. It seems like every monitor has a different one. I like this the best by far! Take a look at my pictures. There are four buttons plus the power button under the bottom right side of the monitor. The power button is easy to find because there's a bump with the power LED right next to it. Then, to activate and use the on screen display just press any one of the four buttons. Then you will see soft buttons pop up on the screen, one above each button. It's very self-explanatory and easy to get used to. You can even re-assign three of the four default soft buttons if you want.

Great sound, battery life, and fit

I love the great fit, light-weight, excellent sound quality, and battery life of the BlueParrott M300-XT!
Sound Quality
The sound quality is excellent! I can hear people perfectly and they can hear me fine. While you can't do stereo since it's only on one ear I still wanted to test the sound quality more so I used it for some music. It plays music very well too. It really sounds good and is excellent for conversations. I used it with my phone and my Windows 10 laptop and had great results on both.

Active Noise Cancelation
The active noise cancelation works very well! I've tested it with a piano playing and a vacuum cleaner as well as just people talking in the background. The person on the other end doesn't hear the background noise! I was skeptical so I got on the other end of the call, it really is that good! They claim 80% noise reduction, it seemed like 100% to me! It really works well! I was impressed especially for something so small with such great battery life.

Design
The M300-XT is very, very light-weight! At .7 oz you barely feel it's there. The rubberized arm that goes over your ear makes it very easy to put on and it stays on well and in position. There are three buttons on the piece that is behind your ear. The top is the power button, then volume up, and volume down on the bottom. All three buttons are easy to get to and feel so you don't get the wrong one by accident. There is also a button with a Blue Parrott on it on the side of the ear piece, where the boom is attached. This button will mute the mic by default. It has three different size ear pieces to fit more people better. They go in the ear but not the ear canal - and I'm glad not to have it in my ear canal! It can also be adjusted to go one the left or right ear. The ear-piece is very comfortable and easy to use!

Battery life
it's rated for 14 hours of talk time. Naturally that could depend on the volume level you use but with my so far I wonder if the battery is better than advertised. I really don't know for sure but I can say that the battery life is excellent - especially considering the great sounds quality, active noise cancelation, and very light weight.

BlueParrott App
Using the BlueParrott app you can configure what the BlueParrott button does. It can be used to speed dial a number, check the battery of the ear-piece and phone, switch between two paired devices, and more. You will also want to install the BlueParrott app to update it to the latest firmware.

High quality wireless surround!
on April 27, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
I'm very glad to have the Polk Audio SR2 Wireless Surround Speakers to go with the React SoudBar! Setup is easy and the surround sound is excellent!
Setup
These surround speakers were easy to setup. Each speaker has a power cord and it's pretty long, over 9 feet. You can set them on a table or they can be mounted on a wall. Pairing them to the Soundbar is a quick and easy process. There's an indicator light on the bottom of each speaker showing that it's paired.

Surround Sound
The surround impressed me more than I thought. I expected it to only really be useful in movies but that wasn't the case. I found sounds coming unexpectedly out of the surround speakers for all different types of content. There were YouTube families we follow who used the surround channels to play music while they were talking from the front channels. Sometimes I got positional audio from videos I wasn't expecting as well. In one show I was watching I almost jumped in my seat when a spaceship that I wasn't expecting to enter the scene flew over me from behind and the sound made me feel like I was there! When surround audio is used it makes a richer environment overall and pulls me into the scene in a way I never was before. Probably my favorite feature that I didn't realize this sound system has is the "All Stereo Mode". When I'm just listening to two channel music but I want it to come out of all the speakers I can press the "Music" button twice on the remote (included with the React Soundbar) to activate "All Stereo Mode". I love this feature as it really adds value to the surround speakers! The remote included with the React Soundbar has dedicated buttons for left/right balance of the surround speakers as well as volume of the surround speakers.

Sound Quality
I very impressed with the sound quality no matter what I was listening to. For the surround audio, whether it was forest animals and rustling leaves or sci-fi sounds as described above, all sounds were reproduced realistically. When I had music playing through the surround speakers there was never a difference from the sounds coming out of them compared to the front. The sound was just a rich and clear as from the front soundbar.

One odd thing
With my setup I didn't get audio out of the surround speakers when using Dolby Surround on my TV. I set my TV to PCM audio and I got excellent, positional audio, out of the surround speakers.

Can you hook up this device to a cable box
You can connect it to any device that has an HDMI out or VGA out but keep in mind that it is not bright enough for a well lit room. That's not a defect. You can't get a projector anywhere near this price range that will work very well in a well lit room. You will need one that's much brighter.

Bought this projector, default brightness is too dim. Settings menu has a field to change brightness, set at default of 50, but function is greyed out. How to select this function? if i can't increase brightness to 100% i will have to return it.
This projector, or any in this price range, are not designed for well lit rooms. The image will be washed out. You will need to get a much brighter projector for a well lit room.
