Sleek design and good quality
on May 29, 2021

Nowadays, you cannot go wrong with any air purifier. Only because they usually just run in the background and you hope it is doing its job. But why will I get something that I don’t know if it works for me, really?
This is why I recommend this air purifier. Besides the 4 levels of purification. It actually has an indicator that tells you when the air quality is not good. I placed it in auto mode, because in this mode, it’s supposed to adjust its fan when the air goes bad. I didn’t think it was working at first because I live on a busy street and get air and unfortunately wind from the vehicles passing by (thus the purifier). The fan setting stayed pretty steady and quiet, then all of a sudden, it became noisy. The fan speed came up and true enough, it wasn’t the air from vehicles outside, but actually the smoke coming in from the neighbors grill. There is considerable noise—but not bad enough to disturb me, or what I’m watching. So yes, it does its job well and you wouldn’t really notice it—I just was paying closer attention since it was new.
Speaking of new, the design looks very sleek and it matches my tv room furnishings. I am very particular with the look because these purifiers have to blend in—it is something I could never hide. Another plus is, it does not take up so much space!
The added purifying stages and the design makes me feel good about this purifier. If you’re getting one, might as well go with something that gives you peace-of-mind.

Unbelievable quality and value
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Straight up, I did not know that there is a cardioid condenser mic that’s as reasonable priced like this. The build quality and design are top-notch! I am used to recording my vocals on a supercardioid microphone. Although my usual microphone is already great, this one exceeds it by far in terms of recording quality.
Unfortunately, this did not work on my 5 year old USB audio interface, even if it had 48V power. I had to plug this in a pro mixer that is properly plugged in the wall. And man, when I first heard my voice on it, I was surprised how I have not been using cardioid condenser mics for recording. Oh yeah, I have not tried investing in separate mic for recording because they are usually expensive--- but not this one. For the price range, I think this is exceptional for recording vocals.
As a part-time singer who sings oddly-phrased alternative songs, it is important to get my lyrics clear. This microphone picks up everything oh so clearly. The sensitivity is so precise, the difference when I throw my voice in different directions and varying distances is very noticeable. Though I would need a filter to control my sudden closed-lip syllables, this mic picks up each movement of my lips. It is so clear that I do not have to put in too much effort just to pronounce properly. My bandmate who does the mixing was so happy with the quality, he says, it gives him so much headroom to mix my recorded voice. He says the output quality is so wide and crisp that it takes him less effort to get his music layers straightened out. Those are his words, not mine. I do not know how to mix like a pro but I sure know when I made my money maker happy.
Well, who knows you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to come up with good quality recordings. This Blue Microphone is such a good value mic. I think we’ll practicing out of the garage real soon!

Design is sleek and the lines are crisp. The color tone and quality of the build make the overall look very classy and the build feels very durable to the touch. The bezels are thin enough which probably makes the laptop compact enough to have a 14 inch screen. The weight though is not too light, which I am not a super fan of. But with these specs—i7, 16gb RAM and 512SSD, I think it is a fair compromise.
The hinges are very firm. Take note, I mentioned firm, not tight. The screen does not wobble when you type and the form factor is very solid when you fold it in different ways be it tent, tablet or just as a regular laptop on an actual lap! Plus, the camera has a built-in privacy sliding cover.
This also has the right amount of connectivity. It has all the basics without the need to purchase other adapters (maybe except ethernet jack if you are one of the few who still need it). This has USB-As, a USB-C that takes on charging, HDMI, microSD, an actual dedicated power jack if you need it—plus a 3.5 audio jack—these are very basic but flexible needs right now given all the peripherals that are out in the market.
Would you believe I tried light gaming on the integrated iRisXE card? I tried Fortnite and Roblox, because every so often, WFH also means working somewhere with your child and nights might need some digital babysitting. Fortnite had good details and framerates on high settings but with regular stutters—something you would expect on a dedicated graphics card. Roblox ran without hiccups. This is not a gaming laptop at all, but I guess i7 with 16gb of RAM on the iRisXE makes it somewhat capable.
Battery-life, if I were to comment, is decent. Given the specs, it goes 6 hours consistently with me unplugged at 75% brightness settings. No one travels without their powerbricks. No.One. Regardless, 6 hours is a good amount of time between plugging in.
This is a really good 2-in-1 laptop. Maybe for me, the only downside is the touch screen is not exceptional, but is good enough. I can do my regular browsing and note taking however it not as responsive to pens as I expected. I have this pen that I use that has 4096 levels of pressure and this screen is not as responsive to my active pens as how my pen is responsive to other touch screens. Other than that, it’s not much of an issue.
I think this is the exact set up a regular working professional should have. It is a good-looking laptop with pretty good specs and is reasonably-priced too.

Automated mopping?--- CHECK!
on April 29, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
If you have kids running the floors the whole day, this is a REQUIREMENT. Don’t get me wrong, it will not do hard sticky substances. But the floor does get dirty EVERY DAY, and having this Bissell mop your floors daily helps with having to deal with leaving the floors sticky and actually taking that mopping time OUT OF YOUR HANDS.
What I love about this thing though is, it is QUIET. The lady of the house uses a regular electric mop to clean our floors daily once the kids are asleep. I was afraid, using this will be noisy at kids’ downtime. This one does not disappoint and it mops without waking the kids up!
Out of the box, it is easy. I am a little advanced when it comes to tech but I can tell, a regular un-techie person can easily unbox this thing and put it together. The design is sleek and the device is light. The app to install is easy, and guess what—it has video tutorials in the app itself, so I don’t think any regular user will have a tough time figuring out how to operate this Spinwave. Oh I don’t know if this matters to most but this device has a replaceable battery too.
Now, the way it cleans, it does not seem to remember the floor area, so that’s a bit of a minus. HOWEVER, the cleaning direction of the robot is very tightly out together—meaning, it does not seem to miss any surface it runs on and it turns itself into position to make sure it covers spots. It’s like when a half-asleep child wants to cuddle with you on a cold night and wants to make sure it snugs itself right beside you. That’s what this does to sides and corners. It presses itself onto those areas to make sure that area gets mopped. I like the fact that it figures out if its about to run over a carpet. So at least it does not mop the carpet wet.
For what it is supposed to do, quick daily mopping, this one is a star. This robot saves my lady some mopping time at night. So, more time for Netflix.

As a dude, I am happy with using a nice shaver to remove my body hair—until I discovered this device. Now I use my shavers less often, have less hair on other parts, and have more time for other things like ----NOT shaving.
I know this device has some better effectivity on certain skin tones. So for the sake of reference, I have southeast Asian skin—fair brown, and middle-aged (aka quite hairy). Because it was my first time experiencing this kind of a product, I read the instructions and the safety precautions. The good thing is, the learning curve is not steep at all. In fact, I was surprised, I can figure out use by myself (but please read the safety warnings).
It’s almost plug-and-use. I put it on my skin and a light indicator tells me I am ready to press. I pressed it on the left part of my freshly-shaved tummy, moved my way up and down—ten minutes as suggested (though I do it for less than that time), and I am done with that part. I just did this once for a couple of weeks, just to have a comparison, just the left part of my tummy. In three weeks, I noticed a difference. I hardly had to shave my left part of the tummy on the third week and on the sixth week, I didn’t have to shave it at all. I mean, there was some hair, but there’s hardly anything and the area is smooth. Hair was simply not as visible.
Now comes the real problem, my lady saw how good the device is, now she is using it more than me and wanted it for her own. Per her, she didn’t have to go to the clinic anymore to do her unwanted hair. She can have her sessions at her convenience. So, it’s a personal device but it’s easy to clean—easy wipe and use. Well, I don’t have a choice but to share it with her, or else I will have to get another for myself. For you though, we’re not in the same household so better get yours.

Quality surround sound in a compact package
on March 16, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I believed it was meant for a gaming machine, that is why my initial setup was to have the speakers right by my set up. So when I had it on, I noticed how LOUD this speaker is. Curiously, I tried placing it on a regular TV bedroom set up and it still is powerful. For something this light and compact, it is surprisingly booming.
The loudness is well-mixed. The vocals are clear with the highs well-pronounced, such as glass or sparkles can be heard with crisp. And it is well supported with the rumbles—the lows have a way to engulf the high range. So it has that perfect mix.
The remote is easy to understand and the settings are a breeze to change. My only concern is the connectivity with HDMI. I did have some issues getting the signals out to my monitors and TV. I had to cycle between inputs and devices. PC direct to the speaker inputs works with duplicating out to monitors. PS4 to the speakers won’t show up so I had to use an optical cable. If there was one thing, that was my only concern. Otherwise, it is a really awesome soundbar that does not require a separate subwoofer. You can even use it for a good sized bedroom as a compact cinema soundbar.

Your own purified water system in minutes!
on January 12, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I am a believer in clean water consumption. I used to work for a company that manufactured bottled water. I dislike the single plastic use, but I am an advocate of the benefits of clean healthy water. Thus me liking this purifying system a lot.
I have long wanted to have a purifying system at home, but I was hesitant to call a plumber or someone to have some thing set up under my sink.
Instead of driving to the water station to refill our 5 gallon jugs, I actually installed one of these. Guess what, IT TOOK ME 25 MINUTES. Well, okay, I read the instructions and watched a ten mnute youtube video just to be sure because I do not hang out with Mario Bros. Still, 10 minute video +25 minute installation=35 minutes. The fittings were standard. The tubes were push and go. The parts are easy to understand.
Now I do not have to regularly go all the way to a water station to fill up our 5 gallon jugs. I have purified water coming from under the sink that I INSTALLED, and the water from the Filtrete tastes just the same if not better. I just saved me bi-weekly trips to the store. Why did I not think of this long ago.
Oh, and did I mention that I installed it in minutes?

Best Air Purifier that actually works!
on January 12, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
You know what, I forget that I actually have this device. It works so well in the background that I do not even notice that I have it.
Best feature-- it is QUIET. Very, very, very quiet. The fan speed is on auto mode, and the only time I actually heard it on, was when a visitor suddenly decided that she can vape in the room, and the Blueair perhaps noticed it, and started increasing the fan speed to suck the air impurities in. In a couple of minutes, the fan speed went back to super quiet mode and everything is back to normal-- like clean air and all that. The noise actually is not light but soft-- so it blends well as ambient sound in the room.
The design also blends nicely near a wall-- very sleek. Given its size, it is not difficult to put in place, and the set up is fairly easy too.
I think this is the gold standard in air purifiers.

Makes grilling sexier!
on December 24, 2020
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I never thought I will use “beautiful” to describe a grill. It is a really good-looking grill. The quality of the build, the finish, and the design. This pretty thing is where I cook my steaks now, ladies and gentlemen. That idea used to be unimaginable.
Now, putting it together can be a little challenging—not because it is difficult to build, because it is the exact opposite. The manual just makes it more complicated than it is. So buyers beware, it is EASY to put together. Don’t be fooled by the manual and its components.
I am a believer of really good design, not just the way one thing looks but how everything comes together. 1) This grill is so well-designed that there is an actual rotisserie stick that you can stow away within the grill to keep it looking sleek. 2) The plug to power it up, rolls into the unit as well. 3) This plug is the one that helps heat it up and it heats up the charcoal fast! 4) The actual metal grill is very stable and is foldable, so you can easily adjust charcoal under it to localize the heat when you need to. 5) The lid detaches and actually hooks to the side. 6) Lastly, no one likes to clean the grill—but hey, even the components are easy to remove and clean.
Enough of those grills that you just put in your backyard just to get some real grilled food. Grills can actually come in a really cool package.

Home Fitness for any type of home

I would not have thought of having dumbells in the house except when these weights arrived.
First of all, they are of good quality. The grip is just right (I have small hands) while the hold on the bars are comfortable.
The weights are "soft"-- they are made of high quality rubber. I usually do my reps in front of the TV where the flooring is wood and can be noisy. But I don't worry about these scratching my floors. And I also do not worry about them scratching me! Even the metal ones get edges when used a lot, and they can give cuts-- these ones I do not have to worry about.
These dumbbells are a great addition to my home equipment, especially with the upcoming lockdowns. I recommend, especially to those who work out on upper floors!
