Must Have, Do It All Kitchen Appliance
on October 8, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
This Bella Pro Series combination Air Fryer/Pizza Oven can meet all of your cooking needs. It combines the capability of a convection oven with the versatility of an air fryer. The handy space saving design cleverly eliminates the need for separate counter top appliances. The digital touch screen makes operating it as easy as pushing a few buttons.
It is extremely powerful for its size, and can get as hot as you need it too in order to heat and fry your favorite foods. The consistent cooking power yields food that is cooked very evenly. It has made my life easier, and is now my go to kitchen appliance for cooking and heating up food. It can truly do it all, and I highly recommend it for any kitchen.
---HIGHLIGHTS---
High Power Multi Function Air Fryer/Pizza Oven that Fries, Bakes, Grills, Broils, and Dehydrates, 12.6 Quart Capacity, Digital Touchscreen Control Panel, Stainless Steel Finish
DESIGN AND CONTROLS:
The digital touchscreen control panel is clearly labeled. All it takes to get started is to select the cook mode, cook time, and cook temperature. It is just as easy to use as you would expect it to be.
The cooking modes are: Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil, Reheat, Keep Warm, Pizza, Bacon, Dehydrate, Rotisserie. All of the modes work are self-explanatory and work very well. I especially like the Air Fry mode because it is able to stimulate the taste of fried food by circulating hot air without frying in oil. The Air Fry mode is especially useful for mozzarella sticks, french fries, and chicken. The other modes can be used based on your personal preference.
The 12.6 quart capacity is big enough for most cooking jobs. It is large enough to cook a 10 inch pizza. A pizza pan is included, which is a nice extra touch. This oven has a large capacity but is taller than it is wide, so it doesn’t take up much counter space. Just make sure there is enough room under your cabinets.
The included accessories are: 10 inch Pizza Pan, 2 Air Fry Racks, Drip Pan, Rotisserie Bar and Holder.

Classic Design That Never Goes Out of Style
on October 6, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
This toaster is a perfect choice for someone that wants a stainless steel toaster that looks and works great. It matches my other stainless steel appliances perfectly. It uses the classic tried and true toaster design that never goes out of style. I have a nice toaster oven but prefer this design for toasting bread.
At 1500 watts, it has more than enough power to toast bread, with room to spare. I like my bread lightly toasted and shade level 2 gave me the light brown toast that I like. This toaster is high power, and can toast any kind of bread to the toast level you desire. The self centering function ensures that whatever you put in it will be centered, and thus toasted evenly.
The buttons and lever work very smoothly. When done, my toast was ejected to that familiar and distinctive pop. There are separate buttons for Frozen and Bagel toasting modes. When activated, the button in use illuminates. It could not be easier to use.
The stainless steel design is very attractive. The body is made of real stainless steel, and not just plastic that looks like metal. I confirmed this by using a magnet, which stuck to it. If a magnet sticks to it, then you know it is metal and not plastic.

Looks and Sounds Amazing!
on September 30, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
The Bose Smart Soundbar 300 looks and sounds amazing. The sound quality improvement over the tiny speakers in a flat panel TV, is truly a night and day difference. It is amazing that a speaker with such a small footprint can produce sound this powerful. Not only is the soundstage wide and spacious, due to the side firing speakers, but the bass is defined and strong. Dialogue is also noticeably understandable and clear.
Highlights:
Superb Sound Quality, Strong Bass, Dolby Digital Decoding, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Advanced Voice Commands, Wireless Sub and Wireless Rear Speaker Ready, Works With Other Bose Products, Compatible With Many Music Services
Sound Quality:
This soundbar is for someone that wants superior sound but doesn't want, or have room for, a separate surround sound system. I am very impressed that this compact soundbar produces sound this good, without a subwoofer. Bose engineering and quality components really make the difference. Music and movies sound big, detailed, and pleasing to the ears. I especially noticed how remarkably clear dialogue is.
At some point, the audiophile in me will want to explore adding the wireless bass module and wireless surround speakers. Adding a subwoofer will increase the bass level, and adding surround sound speakers will create a true rear soundstage. I would fully expect that these add ons will create a very capable surround sound system. The product specifications indicate that it is capable of Dolby Digital decoding.
Setup
If you don’t already have a Bose account, the first step is to download the Bose Music App and create an account. I already use the Bose App with my Bose Home Speaker 300, so all I had to do was use the add speaker option. Once done, I can now control and use each speaker individually or together to play music.
The next step is to plug in the soundbar and connect it to the TV with an HDMI or optical cable. Using an HDMI cable is a better option because the advanced functions won’t work over optical. ARC can automatically select the proper input based on the active device signal. ARC also allows you to use your TV remote to raise or lower the soundbar volume. Make sure to disable the TV speakers so that sound is only produced by the soundbar.
The Bose App automatically detects the soundbar and guides you through a pairing process that involves connecting to Wi-Fi, setting up Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, and selecting the music providers you are going to use. I have attached some screen shots to illustrate the process.
Design and Controls:
The Bose Smart Soundbar 300 speaker is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant, but not both at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. I am using it with Alexa and am completely blown away by how advanced and powerful the voice options are. Bose has taken voice control to the next level. You can tell Alexa to do virtually anything that one of your remote controls can do. If the device is connected via HDMI to your TV, then you can use your voice to control it. But keep in mind that this control will only work over ARC, because it uses the CEC capability to run the commands.
This soundbar features a very attractive black finish that will look great anywhere you put it. The packaging and presentation are exactly what you would expect from Bose.
The speaker can be controlled by the Bose Music App or included remote. The Bose App is very easy to use, and offers quite a few options that are worth exploring and experimenting with.
This soundbar can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Apple Airplay 2. I have multiple Apple devices, so my preferred connection is AirPlay 2, which works through Apple Music if the speaker is connected to Wi-Fi. I prefer AirPlay 2 since it operates over Wi-Fi the range and signal strength is greater than Bluetooth. It can also pair wirelessly to some Bose headphones.
The Bose App offers a wide array of music and entertainment providers. Numerous music, radio, talk, and news providers are available.

Excellent Cleaning Power, Quiet and Easy to Use
on September 5, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
The main benefit of a robotic vacuum is to save time by providing automated cleaning of the home. This model does that job extremely well. It is very powerful for its size, and I was very impressed with the amount of dirt and particles that it captured. It is very easy to use, and does an admirable job of keeping my home clean.
There is a lot to like about this robot vacuum. Not only is the suction quite powerful, but the vacuum itself is surprisingly quiet. The quietness is a definite plus if you have pets that get spooked by loud vacuums, which most pets do. My dog didn’t seem to mind it working, even though she was curious at first.
The App is versatile and allows for a very deep level of customization and control. I was easily able to program and monitor the vacuum via Wi-Fi with ease. There are 4 suction and 2 mopping water flow levels to choose from. The App also features a convenient schedule function.
The navigation features such as anti-collision and stair protection work well. I was very impressed in how well it navigated around obstacles and tight spaces. Make sure that you pick up loose items and clear obstacles that it can get stuck on, remember this is a robot vacuum not a tank.
I have a two story home and in about one hour it was able to clean both stories, off of one charge. I really like that when the battery is low, it will return to the charging station automatically. I cleaned the second story first, and then moved it to the first story, where the docking station is, so that when it was finished it automatically docked itself to the charger. I can confirm that the vacuum was smart enough, on its own, to not drive itself over and down the stairs. I used the mopping function in my kitchen, and found that it did a good job of mopping the floor.
Included in the packaging is everything you need to get started. The only assembly required is to attach the side brushes.

Fast Charging, High Power, Dual Port Car Charger
on September 2, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
With devices being more and more power hungry, and everyone needing to charge a device, this dual port car charger is an absolute necessity. It is very well made, as I have come to expect from Belkin having used their many accessories over the years. Belkin products have a reputation for premium quality, and this car charger is consistent with that reputation. It has an attractive matte black finish, and when connected to a car power socket an white LED illuminates to indicate that the adapter is live.
The best feature of this charger is the 24W high power charging capability that charges my devices noticeably faster than my previous 5W car charger. Each port has a 12W capability and both ports are capable of delivering 2.4 amps for a shared total of 4.8 amps. Keep in mind that Belkin guarantees that this charger will safely charge your devices. Included in the box is the car charger and a premium USB-A to Apple Lightning Adapter

Great Sound and Battery Life, Affordable
on August 17, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
Summary:
The Jabra Elite 45h over the ear headphones are an excellent choice for anyone that needs a good pair of wireless headphones, but doesn’t want to spend too much. They feature great sound and call quality, while at the same time being light and comfortable. I would describe them as being compact headphones, as they are slightly smaller than over the ear headphones. Jabra advertises these as “best in class” and I think that sums it up nicely. If you don’t need active noise cancellation, then these headphones will work very nicely for most home or office applications.
Highlights:
Lightweight and Comfortable, Extra Long 50 Hour Battery Life, Bluetooth Version 5, USB-C Charging, Nice Sound and Call Quality
Sound Quality:
These headphones have 40 mm drivers that do a great job of producing detailed, accurate and full range sound, I can not fairly compare them to more expensive headphones, like their big brother the Jabra Elite 85h which I also own, but they sound excellent for this price range and they sound noticeably better than the sound produced by most earbuds or devices. They also do a great job of preventing the sound from leaking out of the headphones, which can be a problem with some compact headphones.
The Jabra Sound+ App has different presets available to customize the sound (neutral, bass or treble boost, speech, smooth, and energize). I highly recommend experimenting with the EQ because it can help greatly with performance and also help dial in the sound to your individual preference.
Call Quality:
Jabra is known for making products that have the best call quality, and the Jabra Elite 45h headphones are consistent with that reputation. They are equipped with 2 microphones and they really make a difference in the call quality area. The call quality is not as good as the Jabra Elite 85h but they are close, especially considering the Elite 85h has 8 microphones and is more than double the cost.
Design and Controls:
These over the ear headphones are very comfortable and lightweight.
The 50 hours battery life is truly outstanding. I have been using them for a few days and the rated battery life seems to be accurate.

They feature a USB-C port for charging. It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge, and a 15 minute charge powers them for up to 15 hours.
They feature actual control buttons. There is audio cable output so they can not be used in wired mode.
They are compatible with Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa.
Included are a soft travel pouch and a USB C cable.

Great for Small Spaces and Small Budgets
on August 3, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
---Summary---
This Mr. Coffee brewer is an ideal choice if you need a compact coffee maker that fits in a small space. It is also a great choice for anyone on a budget.
I can not fairly compare it to more expensive coffee brewers, but it makes a very good cup of coffee, especially if you use premium coffee.
---Design and Controls---
This coffee maker could not be easier to use. All the buttons are clearly labeled and the operation is very intuitive. All it takes is adding water, putting coffee grounds in the reusable filter, and pushing a few buttons.
It features a compact design that easily fits small places. It has the capacity to make 25 ounces of coffee. It uses disposable paper filters. The Brew Later function can be programmed to have coffee ready in the morning. It will automatically shut itself off after 2 hours.

Excellent Wireless Gaming Performance
on July 29, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
---Summary---
This JLab wireless gaming headset is an excellent value that balances great sound, comfort, and affordability. They are a great choice if you are looking for a gaming headset, and are on a budget. They can not be fairly compared to more expensive headsets, but at this price point it will be difficult to find a wireless gaming headset that is better.

---Highlights---
Great Sound. Low Latency Bluetooth 5 with aptX, Long Battery Life, Lightweight and Comfortable. Boom Mic
---Sound Quality---
These headphones have 40 mm drivers that produce adequately detailed and full range sound, for this price range. Even though it is advertised as a gaming headset, they are capable of being used as general purpose headphones, as they sound significantly better than the sound produced by the speakers in a flat panel TV, a laptop, or tablet.
I tested the boom microphone playing online, and was informed that it did a great job of picking up what I was saying. The boom mic really makes a difference. It also makes this headset great for making phone calls. If not needed, the boom mic can be neatly and securely retracted into the headset.
The built in EQ is a nice touch, and provides a Game and Music mode that can be set based on preference.

Features Bluetooth 5 and, critical for gaming, 60 ms low latency. It is also compatible with the high bit rate codec aptX.
---Comfort---
Comfort is important for a gaming headset, and I found these to be very lightweight and comfortable. I had no problem wearing them for a few hours at a time during extended gaming sessions.
---Design---
They have a micro USB port for charging. It takes 3 hours to fully charge, and a 10 minute charge will provide 1 hour of use. The battery is rated to last about 22 hours. I used them for 3 days without needing to recharge.
Included is a micro USB to 3.5 mm audio cable with inline volume control. This makes them compatible with any device that features a standard headphone jack.
The mute function works well and is activated by the press of a button.
Another nice touch is the included hard travel case, into which the headset easily folds and fits into.

Powerful and Portable
on July 10, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
I received this product in affiliation with the Tech Insider Network. Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews. That I received this product at no cost did not influence my review in any way. My review is based on my opinion and experience using it.
I am going to focus as much of my review as possible on the tablet functionality, even though I am using it with the Surface Go Signature Type Cover, which is a keyboard/cover accessory that is available as an optional purchase. It is well worth the added expense, and I highly recommend getting both. The Surface Go 2 is an outstanding tablet, but with the keyboard it becomes an even more capable and portable hybrid tablet/laptop.
Out of the box it is running Windows 10 S, which I immediately converted to standard Windows 10. Most users will want to do the conversion because Windows S is a walled garden OS that limits the user to the Edge browser, and the limited number of Apps in the Microsoft Windows S Store. Most importantly, there are no Google Apps available in Windows S. So if you are a user of Google Apps, like I am, you will immediately want to convert to standard Windows 10. I did not use Windows S enough to compare its performance compared to Windows 10, but I am very satisfied with the overall Windows 10 performance of this device.
Setup consisted of charging, powering it on, signing on to Wi-Fi, and then Windows. I already have a Microsoft account so I did not need to create a new account.
Included is a proprietary power adapter that magnetically attaches to the Surface Go 2 charging port. It is an interesting design, and I am still trying to decide if I like it or not. The upside is it attaches securely because of the strong magnet, but also attaches in a smooth way that should not put as much stress on the port as a standard connection. The downside is that it is a proprietary adapter. Fortunately there is a USB C port that can be used to connect accessories and power the device. So it is not necessary to take the power adapter everywhere because the Surface Go 2 can be charged with a, what is now becoming the universal standard, USB C cord. But I did find that a typical 5 watt power adapter did not provide enough power to charge this device, and I had to use a minimum of an 18 watt adapter.
The high resolution screen looks fabulous and is great for watching videos. I have tested it with Netflix and Vudu, and find the video quality to be excellent. The touch screen is very responsive and works well.
The build quality and visual appeal are impressive. The aluminum body is lightweight and thin, making it very easy to handle. The kickstand is incorporated into the back of the device, and allows instant and secure adjustment for optimal viewing angles. I want to give the kickstand design a special mention because it is without reservation, the smoothest design I have ever used.
The speaker sound quality is passable, and typical for such a thin tablet. For listening to videos or music, I use Bluetooth headphones.
The battery takes about 2 hours to fully charge. I was able to use it all day without having to recharge it until the next day. I would say it lasted me about 8-10 hours.
There is a Micro SD port if more memory is required than the 128 GB flash memory that is equipped. The Micro SD port is also useful to transfer files between devices.
---Conclusion---
The Surface Go 2 features an elegant and lightweight design that is, as the name implies, easy to take on the go. The Go name describes who this device is for, and what it does best. It is perfect for someone that wants to have power and versatility in a slim, portable tablet/laptop form factor. If you are a user of power intensive applications, then you will need a more powerful device. But the Surface Go 2 has more than enough processing power and memory to handle most day to day productivity and entertainment needs easily.

Must Have Surface Go 2 Accessory!
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
The Surface Go Signature Type Cover is a combination keyboard and protective case. It securely connects the Surface Go or Surface Go 2, and transforms it into a marvelously compact and portable laptop.
It uses powerful magnets to snap securely onto my Surface Go 2. The magnets keep it in place and it doesn’t come apart unless I want it too. When not in use, it folds over and protects the tablet front and back.
It is very sturdy when used with the kickstand built into the back of the Surface Go 2. I like this design because it stays upright in laptop mode, on my lap or on a bed, unlike some other floppy hybrid keyboard/case designs that I have used that need a hard surface to stay upright. It is also very adjustable and easily allows for multiple viewing angles.
The individual keys are nicely spaced out for a keyboard of this size. They feel nice to the touch, and are very easy to type on. The keys are backlit and a light sensor triggers the backlight based on the ambient light level. The keyboard illumination can be adjusted up or down, or turned completely off to save battery power, using the keyboard function keys.
The touch pad is responsive, precise and works well in place of a mouse.
The build quality is impressive and it has a luxurious look. It features a material called Alcantara that feels soft and smooth, almost fabric like.
---CONCLUSION---
The Surface Go Signature Type Cover transforms the already capable Surface Go 2 into an even more capable and versatile tablet/notebook hybrid. I consider it a must have accessory, and highly recommend it if you are getting a Surface Go 2. Combined together, they become a powerful laptop that is both compact and portable.

Great Picture, poor remote Arc audio does not work
By wstcsttechy
Replaced an old SXRD Sony 60" from 8 years ago. Tried the 65" 930 model and that picture was good however not like the 940D. Full array backlighting makes a big difference. First one upon delivery had a line all along the right side of the screen and a horizontal line about 6 inches up from the bottom of the screen. Magnolia came out a few days later with a replacement and this one is much better. Remote control is not user friendly, poor design, Arc audio does not work with my 2 year old Yamaha receiver so must use separate fibre optic cable to allow audio to services. Sony 3D nothing like the Samsung. 4 free movies promotion was difficult to set up and must supply credit card info to get promo and only 8 titles to choose from. I wish they would have included the 3D glasses instead of free movies with a $6500 TV. Overall happy with the purchase and would recommend as a great home theater TV with lots of smart features.

Cable Box breaks ARC
April 24, 2017
Are you using a cable box? Cable and satellite boxes are notorious for breaking ARC. When I disconnected the cable box HDMI cable from the chain, ARC started working. I am going to get a HDMI "CEC less adapter" and connect it to the cable box which should fix the problem.

This Sony 4K HDR TV boasts 4K technology for vibrant hues. Its X940D series features a bold 75-inch screen and slim design. Wires remain hidden, and the unit is easily wall mounted. This television has a 4K Processor X1 and 4K X-Reality PRO for crisp video. This Sony 4K HDR TV is easy to control via voice commands.
 

Given the choice between buying the 930D and the 940D (if price and size is not a issue), which is the better tv? I am confused with hearing about edge lit vs direct full lit, darkness at the corners with white background, 940D no extended range HDR .

The 940D has superior contrast due to the full array local dimming. This allows for deeper blacks than edge dimming. Wider contrast makes the picture "pop" more and creates a better picture quality.

This 64GB Sony SR64UY2A/TQ microSDXC UHS-I memory card features 70MB/sec. data transfer speeds, so you can easily capture and store photos and videos from your compatible camera or mobile device. The card resists water and dust for reliable performance.
 

Will this Sony mico SD card capture full HD video??

It can record 1080P video smoothly due to the high read/write speed. This is a high quality product. I use it in a dash cam with great results.
