Reliable and promising
on September 14, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
This printer does everything you will need for home. For the most part, we print out school items , coloring pages, contracts, etc. So far, it performs as expected.
Page printing speed is decent. It does not spew out docs super fast but it’s good enough to print 10-12 page documents at relatively good pace. Double-sided printing is effective and the ink dries fast enough not to smear ink on the other side. Scanning is good too—quality is clear on both document feeder and scanner bed. The footprint is good as well considering it is an all-in-one printer and is relatively small. Connectivity is easy, while Epson app is easy to use, making mobile printing hassle free.
Maybe my only gripe is it took a good amount of time to set up. The instructions are easy, especially the visual steps as seen through the app. However, setting up the ink, alignment of paper and all that just takes some time. Although, since it is a tankless printer, I don’t think I’ll have to reload ink for around two years. So far, the printer is reliable with good quality print on regular paper. It seems to me, it does not deplete the ink as fast, after printing a good amount of pages. Though time will tell, this printer already looks promising.

Game changer!
on September 10, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I think the best part of this coffee maker is it brings coffee variety to you in the simplest manner. It’s all about the experience and it makes coffee creation effortless.
I am a moody coffee drinker. I drink it everyday and I like them different most of the time, depending on how I feel. That’s why cafés to me are great because they give me the variety I need without me having to worry about how to make it. But I have to drive to a café, or even if I try to make some at my home, where I work from, being WFH these days, it is such a task to get everything together just to get my caffeine variety.
This De'Longhi espresso machine changes everything. I get to have a barista in my own kitchen.
1) ALMOST NO SET UP. It comes in a few parts that easily snaps into place. Instructions are very easy to understand given the illustrations and descriptions (even if some descriptions, I am not privy to because I am not an expert).
2) SIZE IS PERFECT. I’ve seen really nice coffee makers that look good on your counter but they take up so much space. This one is the PERFECT SIZE on the counter. It still looks good, of course, it’s a De'Longhi, but the space it takes is great given the functions it has.
3) INSANE FLEXIBILITY. There are so many options. I do not have to worry about my ever-changing mood for what coffee to drink this time. Once I’ve chosen my coffee, customizations are available.
4) SIMPLE OPERATION. The app is very helpful. The interface is easy to understand. The screen is very responsive to touch. The icons and on screen items are easily recognizable. The instructions to make your choice, the prompts to go to the next step, have all been engineered thinking about how I make coffee, like they studied 5 million people on how they make their coffee. From booting up the app and system to fine tuning the right espresso flow based on your beans—it is so easy to grasp and apply.
5) GETTING BACK TO WORK IS A BREEZE. This thing can auto-clean itself once you’re done and it auto turns itself off. It makes it easy for the next person to make coffee because of the prompts so I don’t have to work about what step I am missing or what the next person should do to make their own after I take off.
6) CUSTOM FOR EVERYONE. The profiles, man. The settings to save PER coffee choice, too. So each person in my house can have a profile with custom coffee settings (and cute avatars too). The connectivity is helpful so I can trigger remote start of my coffee—of course given I placed a cup under the spout.
This coffee maker had it all figured out. I mean at least for now, until we all get them automatically sent beside our bed table at 6:23am. But I know I am not going to the café soon, especially when my head is buried in work, because you know what, I can make my coffee-flavor-of-the-minute in a couple presses.

Better than ointments
on August 24, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Being in my 40s and still very physically active is a challenge. I still play basketball, surf, and run regularly and the recovery the following day is not as easy as it used to be. I like the pain too sometimes because it reminds me that did something to my body vs. just sitting down; however I dislike the discomfort especially when I do my daily tasks.
I would drink glucosamine chondroitin for my joints, because I thought it helps ease daily pain in the long run. But this—this portable pain relief device is a wonder! I already have separated my shoulder and reconstructed my ACL from basketball. I used to just brave the discomfort of my shoulder or my knees—until I used this device.
After a 4-mile run, my right reconstructed knee swells, so I cannot fully bend it for a day after because it hurts. I tried this on and it eased the pain right after two sessions. The swelling is still there but I can fold my knees with less to no pain. My shoulder as well gets regular pain because of basketball and burst swims at surf, so I learned how not to sleep on my side. But after using this device on my shoulder, I can fully swing my shoulder and hear the joints move and NOT feel pain—like it loosens it up.
It’s so easy to use—operation is very simple, and it automatically stops at the suggested 30 minute session. The instruction booklet is there, more for me to understand what-not-to-do, but not how to use it because it is very straightforward.
I honestly do not know the science behind this. I do not want to read up on it because it might just spoil it for me—it works for me and I don’t want to know how or why. As long as I can easily use it, because it easily sticks over my shoulder (with the adhesive) or wrap the band around the side of my kneecap to focus on my painful joint. It helps me a lot. Because our 6-year old still likes to be carried and the 9-year old wants to play rough. I want to be able to keep doing this with them and still do my sports. I am glad there is such a pain relief device such as this.

Lean and efficient work machine
on August 24, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I use my google workspace account on this chromebook. It may sound silly because one would expect i7 laptops with at least 16gb of memory and tons of productivity apps to conduct actual work. The thing is, I have been so spoiled with crazier set ups, that I forget, work does not have to be so complicated. In fact, chromebooks make everything back to being simple.
What do I need everyday? Email, spreadsheets, some documents, browsing, conference calls--- google has it all seamlessly working in apps in a chromebook. This device is very lean, just like how I want my work—I won’t need things that bog me down or apps that will only cause complications. I set up my account on this device and it syncs everything I have in there, especially that google already has most of my settings from my android phone.
The best thing about this device is, it’s NOT EXPENSIVE AT ALL for all it does. The design is very simple and is very sturdy—I can just put it on a body bag and ride the bike to work and not worry about it being scratched or dented. I can type with ease and the responsiveness of apps to my clicks is seamless. The camera and microphone work well on my google meet sessions. Of course the screen is not the sharpest or the sound is not exceptional—but I don’t really need that for work. It does what I need it to do.
Maybe I make it sound so easy—but really, it is. Chromebooks have come a long way and the apps work so much better with the hardware. This chromebook is just what I need to get things done at work.

A headset that brings you IN the game
on August 18, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Everything I hear from these headphones are BIG. At 40% of the volume it sounds like it is on full blast. The sound makes it seem like I am in a space bigger than where I actually am. That means—it is so good—it makes me feel like I am really in the realm.
Out of the box, it does require some tweaking of the sound using the app equalizer—but that’s any other speaker—I adjust them to fit my taste. Luckily, the app is easy to use, I can set the sound settings and tweak the lights to match my set up.
The headset itself is nicely made. The finish feels nice to touch and the materials are solid (vs. flimsy ones). The band automatically adjusts to my head which is good but is a little tight at the top. I am not sure if it is just my head but it kind of pulls my hair a little. Maybe in time it will change if it loosens up, but hopefully it does not affect the snugness of the headset on my ears. Speaking of being snug, it was comfortable enough to be on for at least 4 hours. It could also be that I don’t notice the time because it sounds good, but my lobes do not feel sore when I take them off.
Chatting is nothing exceptional but is a good thing. My buddies did not notice anything different so that’s another plus because chat reliability is important! Oh and even the connectivity is good—I can go get a snack or take a quick restroom break and not be disconnected.
Getting one for yourself? Sounds good to me!

An unexpectedly great gaming machine
on August 17, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
As someone who is not so young anymore but still loves to play games, this is what a gaming laptop should be. 1) Compact – sized right that’s easy to carry everywhere 2) Design is classy—it does not scream “I game all day” in it’s form and finish 3) Powerful and FAST – I can play Warframe at 60FPS in full resolution settings without drops (I probably can run it faster but the game does not allow for more than 60FPS). Fortnite runs on full unlimited frames without stutter. Roblox and mobile-enabled games run smooth as butter. Even my Stadia games, which are more server-latency-dependent games run great.
At 512GB storage space, it’s more than enough for the games that I play. The combination of WiFi 6, 4GB of VRAM and 16GB of RAM make it more than enough for me to keep going. The display is nice and bright even at just 60hz. The sound is nothing super great but I wear a headset most of the time anyway. The keyboard has this soft feel to the touch and is spaced perfectly. Plus Asus has this software that helps me monitor my machine performance and settings. The ports are the usual—USB-Cs, a couple of USB-As for my controller jack, an HDMI and still has a headset jack. All these make it just the perfect machine to play games. I know there are more powerful machines out there with crazier video cards or processors, but who needs those way more expensive PCs if this can run the intense games I play? This set up makes this machine priced perfectly for my needs.
Asus has made gaming more available to regular guys like me who will not spend a lot just to get decent specs for playing games. I love it and recommend it a lot!

This is all I needed
on August 12, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
This is a laptop that’s perfect for everyday needs. It’s a high quality daily laptop that’s a 2-in1 so it makes it very versatile:
1) It is priced right while the design makes it look like it is more expensive than it is -- tight hinges and a durable frame with an elegant finish.
2) The IrisXE integrated card is enough for light games, even Roblux or mobile games that can run on PC.
3) Port options are perfect as well. SD card, HDMI, headphone jack if you are still into that, USB port for charging or display and power (there is a port for an actual power adapter but this comes with a USB-C for power).
4) It comes with a fingerprint reader and a cover for the webcam which helps a lot with security and ease of use of the laptop.
5) It is not lightweight but it could be because of the touchscreen but is responsive enough to navigate through usual browsing and app switching.
6) The keyboard has this nice texture to it and has enough ride as I typed.
7) It has thin bezels but the display can be brighter – resolution quality though is very sharp.
8) The sound on it is crisp. I actually thought there was glass breaking outside my window when I played this mobile game on it that has crystal shatter.
9) And a conference call is very hassle-free, meaning no hiccups and it was very reliable.
Yes, it’s an i5 and has 8gb—versus other laptops out in the market that sell you i7s with 16gb of ram. Seriously though, unless you need one million monitors and multiple large spreadsheets with macros in your face, this one is more than enough. And believe me, even if you get higher spec ones, you won’t see the difference in daily performance with this one. Browsing, watching videos, word processing, pulling up spreadsheets, simple photo editing, even some gaming—all done with relative ease on this laptop. After all, it’s a Dell and they have perfected what the usual person needs and this one has the bells and whistles that I need to be productive everyday.

Simple fast and easy
on July 23, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
This doorbell is the least stressful smart home device I have ever encountered. Of course, that is a big thing to say-- but it really is. From installation to usage, this doorbell is a gem. It is a very simple, no fuss approach to doorbells and I love it.
First off, the parts are easy to understand, this is even without looking at the instructions yet. Then the manual itself is very friendly and easy to digest.
I chose to go the battery route, which I am sure is way easier than wiring it up. Installation was as easy as, screw-mount then-click-the-device-in kind of deal. The chime was a no-brainer.
Then setting up the devices though the app was a breeze too. The cues to install was intuitive and fail-proof (which is very important to note). I have installed other devices in my home and have had to reinstall and connect multiple times at set up- this Eufy doorbell all seamlessly connected at first pass! Also, to note, charging is pretty universal. Just click off the doorbell and charge it, which is so good because I don't have to worry about the wiring and all that.
App usage is easy as well. I can easily navigate through the camera and the recordings. Again, Eufy has really well thought about the app flow-- camera settings such as sensitivity, motion, quality, audio settings, as well as automations, and modes are all easy to understand and change. And the descriptions have enough information for me to know what each click will do without it making me lose my 5-year old level of focus. Also, to note, the geofencing mode, easily detects my location and chenges it to the correct mode--- believe me, a lot of other geofencing functionality in other apps do not perform as good as this.
Recordings are clear enough to recognize face details and are easy to refer to. Doorbell is responsive (and the chime is LOUD). Integration to my smart home is very effective too-- I just easily ask Google to show me the front door on my tv, and it is there in 15 seconds from a fully turned off tv with Chromecast. If the tv is on, the doorbell streams in less than 5 seconds.
Although there are cloud storage options and subscriptions, I don't have to do it and they are not sold on my face. The chime has a local (yes local!!) SDcard that stores my recordings. And the SDcard comes free too!
I know this age of smart homes and devices will keep growing and keep getting better. I'm glad this doorbell is going in the right direction by making it really easy to own such a device in both the hardware and the software aspects. 5 million stars!

Knowing is more power!
on July 20, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Communication is key. And this is what this UPS does best. It communicates so well. To me, even though battery back up from this UPS is already great, what’s really important is I need to know how much juice I still have to keep going so I can manage my game progress better.
Besides the beep that tells me I am on battery power, it tells me how much I still have left, given my current consumption. The circular color “bar” tells me the progress of how is left in the UPS, in very helpful colors and levels. And the interface can also be toggled through my preference depending on what I want to look at—such as load and percentage of battery. The indicator screen manages my expectations well-- I know when I have to start letting my squad know that I will be out for a while.
In my PC set up with two monitors and full lighting peripherals plus platform speaker with sub, it lasts me a good 11 minutes until the UPS power hits orange to empty. In my console setup with an 86 inch TV, a PS4 Pro and an atmos soundbar, it takes me 8 minutes before I hit battery empty from UPS full charge and the power goes off. This UPS gives me impressive back up power and enough information on how far I can keep going in my missions.
The design is also beautiful—it helps improve the look on my messy desk, plus the USB-A / C ports gives me easy access to charging. The selection of lights hues are great too! I can easily match up the LED colors to my keyboard and headset LEDs, making my whole set up looking like a desk of the future. My only concern is, like all other UPS, the sockets are not wide enough to fit some of my power adapters (my internet modem adapter takes up 3 slots).
Other than that, this UPS is more than just what I need. It does not just let me connect and forget my devices—it actually informs me how to manage my gaming power load when the unexpected happens.

VERY Comfortable
on July 12, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Nowadays who goes for wired peripherals. I ask myself that too. But I guess it does not follow for all things especially if it gives you noticeable benefits-- like these G335 headphones.
These headphones are light! It is that light that it is very comfortable on the head. So having the automatically adjusting band match its light form makes it such a good pair to have. It is light but at the same time, the build is solid and seems very durable.
Most of all, it actually sounds good. It sounds full and the transmission seems seamless-- at least according to my GTA 5 buddies who complimented my "non-cracking" clear audio quality. And yes, full spatial sound is great and is a requirement for me because I do not want anyone to sneak behind me on the field. Plus, the flip to mute function is very handy alongside the volume dial.
I think the best value for me of this is the comfort. I was able to wear it for at least 3 hours without noticing earlobe soreness-- that is very very very important to me as someone who spends time camping my opponents (and keeping my kill to death ratio positive). Some part of me wants to use this for my gruesomely long zoom meetings over my usual bluetooth buds.
These are wired headphones so I do not have to worry about it being charged. I'm actually surprised that these wired sets keep getting better. Kudos to Logi for having such a good product. I love it.
