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.

Ultimate Wireless Charger!
on July 4, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
---HIGHLIGHTS---
Fast Charge Compatible, Upright Charging in Portrait or Landscape mode, Fits Standard and Plus Size Phones, Quick Charge 3.0 Compatible, Qi Wireless
---SUMMARY---
Wireless charging is the wave of the future. Most, if not all phones, in the near future will incorporate it. I much prefer the upright stand design over the flat pad design because the upright orientation allows me to easily use it while it is charging.
The upright charging also allows me to conveniently place the phone in my work area so I can monitor it while I am working. Now that I am in the habit of always placing my phone in this stand while I am working, I find that I am missing less important calls and texts because my phone is always upright and right in my face.
This Fast Charger will charge Apple phones at up to 7.5 watts, and compatible Samsung phones at up to 9 watts. Other devices will charge at up to 5 watts.
Compared to a 5 watt wireless charger, this stand charges my Apple iPhone noticeably faster.
Cable simplification. More and more devices are Qi wireless charger capable, so this charger will work with many of the latest Apple and Android phones.
A benefit of wireless charging is that it reduces wear and tear on the phone charging port.
The 18 watt A/C adapter specifications are:
Output:
3.6 – 6 V at 2A
6-9 V at 2A
9-12 V at 1.5A
This charger is designed to work with cases that are up to 3mm thick. I am using it with a slim OtterBox Symmetry case, and find that it works well. If you are using a thick case the only way to know for sure that it will work is to check with the case manufacturer, or test it yourself.
Included in the box is the charging stand, an 18 watt A/C wall adapter, and a quality USB to micro USB cable.

Top Notch Cleaning Power!
on March 15, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
I live in a 2 story home with about 1500 square feet carpeted. I have 2 cats and a small dog. This cleaner does an amazing job of cleaning my carpets.
My pets are very good at creating extremely hard to clean messes. This cleaner is very capable of cleanIng these hard stains from pet “accidents”.
I used it in a spot carpet cleaning machine as a cleaning solution. It worked very well in this capacity. I also used it to pre treat stains and it likewise excelled.
I am very impressed with this carpet cleaning solution. It has top notch cleaning power and is very easy to use.

Powerful and Easy to Use!
on February 4, 2020
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
I am a long-time user of Turbo Tax but decided to try H&R Block this year. I am very glad that I did because it works as well as Turbo Tax.
Installation of the software is quite straight forward. I received an email with an activation code and download instructions. Once I downloaded the software, I was ready to go.
The software is very user friendly and provides step by step guidance. If you have used tax software before you will know what to expect. It utilizes the interview method to go through all of the possible credits and deductions. Inputting data is very easy and logical. This software could not be easier to use.
There is an option to import PDF copies of W-2’s and prior year tax returns. This worked but I had to make a few corrections to the imported data because the PDF files were not read 100 percent correctly. So, the importation function works but remember to double check the imported data.
A benefit to using downloaded software, as opposed to the website, is that this software can be used to file five returns electronically (the e-filing code is the same code used to activate the software). And since the software resides on your PC, the software may appeal to those that don't want their tax data stored on a cloud server.
---BOTTOM LINE--
I was able to easily complete and file my 2019 tax return using this software. The process was as easy as could be, and I feel that I did not miss anything by not using Turbo Tax. This software works as well as Turbo Tax. Answer the questions, input the data, and you are done!

Enough Power to Handle Any Cleaning Job
on December 31, 2019
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
---HIGHLIGHTS---
Cordless and Bagless Design, Lightweight and Easy to Maneuver, Two Removable Rechargeable Batteries, Strong Suction, Quiet Operation, Premium Build Quality
---Setup---
The components intuitively snap together and are very easily configured. Once I did it a few times, it is very easy to figure out.
There are three possible storage configurations: Standing, Wall Mount, and Compact Standing. I am using standing because it allows store it upright on the floor.
If you use the wall mount configuration be sure to mount it near an outlet because it needs to be charging while being stored.
---DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE---
This vacuum can be cleverly used as either a stick or handheld vacuum.
In the standard floor mode the steering and maneuverability are amazing. The low profile adjustable size and cordless design reaches places that are very difficult to reach with a corded vacuum.
It comes with a nice assortment of crevice tools that can be used to reach the tight spaces.

Even though this vacuum is battery powered it has very strong suction that cleans very deeply. I was impressed at how much dirt it was able to clean. The suction is adjustable but be aware if using it in turbo mode drains the battery much faster. I found the standard suction setting to be sufficient for most cleaning tasks. It is very quiet for a vacuum.
The dust container very easy to empty.
.
A feature I really appreciate is that it includes two rechargeable batteries. One battery goes in the vacuum and the other goes in the stand and they are both charge while being stored. Having two fully charged batteries allows for a total of 80 minutes of cleaning time (40 minutes per battery).
The crevice tools are stored in the stand. I like this design because it keeps the tools out of the way when I don’t need them I don’t have to worry about them falling off while I vacuum.
It features indicator lights that show the battery charge level and the charging status.
All of the filters are removable, reusable, and all rinseable.
The premium build quality and high end visual appeal are exactly what you would expect at this price point..
---SUMMARY---:
Welcome to the wonderful world of Cordless Vacuuming. I have used many cordless handheld vacuums over the years but they can’t be compared this vacuum. The strong suction and lightweight size and portability put the LG CordZero in a league of its own.
It is perfect for big or small jobs around the house, and for hitting areas like the stairs or around corners where a corded vacuum is difficult to use.
There is a lot to like about the LG CordZero. Not only is it portable and lightweight, but it has enough power to handle any cleaning job you throw at it. Normally cordless vacuums are best when used as a supplement to a full size corded one, but I can say without reservation that the LG CordZero will have no problem taking the place of a full size standard corded vacuum in your home.

Does an Amazing Job of Cleaning My Teeth!
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
---HIGHLIGHTS---
Top-Notch Cleaning Performance, Full Featured Toothbrush and Versatile Travel Case, Phone App, Includes 3 Unique Brush Heads
---DESIGN AND USE---
One of the things I immediately noticed was the LED lights that flash when the toothbrush is being operated. It is a very impressive presentation.
This toothbrush can be used with or without the App. The App utilizes artificial intelligence to monitor and coach your daily brushing habits.
There are 6 available brushing modes (daily, gum care, whitening, sensitive, pro clean, tongue cleaning).
Included is a solid travel case that will adequately protect the toothbrush while traveling. The case has a USB port that can even be used to charge the toothbrush and a cell phone at the same time.
I have been using this toothbrush for over a week without charging and it is sill going strong. I expect that it can go about 2 weeks on a single charge.
---CONCLUSION---
This is my first Oral B toothbrush and I am very impressed with the performance. Yes, it is expensive but feature for feature, this toothbrush exceeds anything on the market today. The toothbrush and included accessories are very high quality.
This toothbrush is very well designed and includes all the features you would expect at this price point. Features aside, this toothbrush does an amazing job of cleaning my teeth! If you find the artificial intelligence and App functions valuable, then it is certainly worth the investment.

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.

The Shark Vertex combines incredible suction power with the convenience of a lightweight cordless stick. Featuring DuoClean PowerFins technology with two brushrolls, you get deep cleaning to pick up more in every pass* and a MultiFLEX wand for flexible reach and compact storage (*vs. original DuoClean).
 

What is the decibel level of this vacuum? Is it noisy or quiet?

It is about as loud as any powerful vacuum. To my ear no more or no less. I do not know the exact decibel level. But my pets run and hide from it.

What is the charging setup - does it need to be charged on a wall-mounted dock or can you just plug it in anywhere with an AC adapter while it's folded over? Can the battery be removed easily and swapped, assuming they start selling batteries separately?

The battery can be charged while attached to the vacuum, either when it is folded over or upright. The battery can be removed and charged while removed. The battery is very easy to remove and attach.

I want to use wireless assuming it has an internal battery you can remove, bring inside and charge then insert it back in unit? How does it work wirelessly?

The camera housing snaps out of the wall mount by pressing a button. You bring the entire unit in for charging. It is a very simple method.
