Packs power in a small package
on June 23, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
Let me first start this review by just saying WOW! Sony, you FINALLY listened to your users! You get an RX100 with upgrades with its focus on video… a first! There are a few downsides, but mostly this is a BUY! The Sony ZV-1 is the perfect camera for vloggers and videographers who don't want to carry big gear around on less serious projects as well as the beginner to YouTube. We all know the best camera is the one you have WITH you and this is just perfect.
It's small enough to fit in the pocket but packs a big punch. You get access to the Sony picture profiles from all their higher end models including S-Log, Cine, Rec709, and HLG along with a built-in ND filter and well above average on board mic. You have everything you need to start in the world of video. I love the image this camera produces and the feature-rich filming options. You get slow-mo and a clean HDMI feed if you want to rig this up. You can charge from 0% to 100% in about 120mins.
It is built mostly out of strong black plastic vs the aluminum build of it's brother the RX100 but still solidly built nonetheless. We get a fully articulating flip screen that comes out to the left of the camera instead of on top. This stops the screen from being blocked when you are using mics and other attachments on the top of the camera. The screen is bright enough for outdoors with the proper option and details are easily seen.
We all know the long history of the learning curve needed to get through the UI. Maybe Sony will listen to this next… only time will tell. The menu system is tedious but they did try to spruce it up with an "icon" view. This will take a few clicks away to change a few things and should be developed further. Auto-focus is fast and I love the product showcase mode that disables eye detection to focus on what is closest to the camera... GAMECHANGER! Rolling shutter… not a problem here. It is almost not noticeable.
Now… things take a turn to the negative side. There are a few things that really annoy me about this camera. The fact the battery and SD card are in the same place right next to the tripod mount just didn't seem to be well thought out. This will annoy you quickly if you are shooting for more than an hour. You will need to remove your camera from your gimbal/tripod just to change a battery or remove the SD card.
The small buttons will take some getting used to but that is another annoyance for me. There are lots of crops depending on what options you enable. If you use SteadyShot, you will get a crop. If you shoot 4k, you will get a crop of roughly 10% of the sensor. When you zoom just past 24mm you just to f/ 2.8. It doesn't have f/1.8 for very long before you lose it.
The app isn't great and often disconnects using my Samsung Note 10+. This will not be part of the review. Below you can find a quick list of my gripes and bright spots with this device.

Clean Air Act/EPA For Your Room
on May 14, 2020

The Molekule Air Mini comes easy to unbox and securely packaged. You open the box, take it out of the travel bag, open it and remove the plastic from the filter inside, and you are ready to BREATHE BETTER. With easy to follow instructions and setup you will NOT have a frustrating time using this. Just remember to open the top and take the plastic off your filter before turning it on!
It is built of plastic rather than the aluminum its bigger brothers are made of, but built well nonetheless. It's a little taller than a paper towel roll (12in high), 8in in diameter, and weighs around 7lbs. It is rated to handle rooms up to 250sqft effectively. There are only three parts (shell, filter, base) so it is not hard to put back together. It is made of matte white plastic with almost no hard edges. It utilizes a small touch sensitive panel with simple touch control on the top of the shell to dial up or down the fan speed. With PICO not HEPA technology, this cleans and sanitizes your air by using UV light to destroy irritants on the filter. At least every 6 months it is recommended to change the filter. With that being said, we need to know what the replacements will cost. At the time of this writing 5/2020, you are looking at $75/ea. That's $150 to operate after your initial investment MINIMUM.
Now for the personal story involving a guy who has allergies who wakes up sneezing a few times a week… me. I run a ceiling fan at night and I clean the dust off the blades. I vacuum every day at least once and do all the things I can to clean the air in my home. In short, this is a test for me to see if it is a noticeable difference. I can say since the first night I noticed a difference. My throat and nose didn't feel the usual allergy symptoms and no sneezing (until I left my room to the "unclean" air). It was INSTANTANEOUS after I left my room and entered the rest of the house before I started sneezing as usual. This makes a difference for me as an allergy sufferer. I am no scientist and I have no testing to prove this, but I know it works for me.
It is hard to say you can use this while you sleep on any setting higher than 3 (middle light). The fan is REALLY loud but it moves air to match. My recommendation is to leave this running an hour before bed on high then you can lower the speed to 3 or 2 to sleep in a clean and quiet room. Not everyone will buy this with other options out there, but it does work!

In short, with the addition of the OLED screen, Bluetooth, quieter motor, and battery upgrade, you get a familiar gun with industry leading specs and improvements.

The upgraded motor is more powerful, NOTICEABLY quieter, and professional grade to handle heavy use. The Bluetooth capability adds connectivity to the Therabody app for the SUPREME experience. Through the app, there are preset app guided routines that show you how to use the gun (even the correct amount of pressure on the screen with interactive feedback) and it times your own personal PT session. Now with 5 built-in speeds (1750, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2400 percussions per minute) and app-controlled customizable speed range (any speed between 1750-2400 percussions per minute). All of this AWESOMENESS fits inside a high-quality semi-hard shelled travel case and attachment bag to make it the ultimate travel companion!

My talking points
-Battery Life is rated at 150mins per battery which this kit provides two. They charged in a little over an hour or so after arriving almost completely dead… not unusual but wanted to note it for someone who wants to use it IMMEDIATELY for something that ales them.
-Love the travel case! It is roomy and spacious for everything needed. It is a semi-hard shell case with places for two batteries and storage in the pocket.
-6 Attachments to choose from to tackle knots, lumps, and sore muscles.
-Therabody App is excellent! It teaches you the proper level of pressure to apply and where to use the Theragun on specific muscle groups. This provides guidance to otherwise clueless users to get targeted and effective results. Using Bluetooth, the app can control the gun turning it on and off for your timed routines. Try the "Sleep" Routine is my favorite to use everyday. It is 6mins of muscle loosening just before bed.
-Motor is SUPER QUIET compared to other devices I have used; especially compared to the Gen3 PRO. On its highest setting, this Gen4 it is quieter than previous generations. At the 1750 setting (low) it is noticeably quieter and usable in most environments. My wife says she couldn't even hear it in the next room. It seems most of the noise is coming from the actual attachment while the motor itself is fairly quiet.

Great Quiet Option For Small Space Under 250/sqft!
on April 25, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
To give you a quick description of my setup - my room is about 12x15 and it doesn't cool well with the number of hours it is in direct sunlight. This GE A/C is a great way to introduce nice cool air without an overbearing fan and compressor sound in your room. You can sleep with this thing on and not have any problems; it runs quiet. This is built nicely and it is very clean and white! After about 10-12mins, my room is completely where I want it. It is a nice supplement to my HVAC system that struggles to cool the room under the current conditions.
Installation was as easy as putting it in the window, plugging it in, and setting temp and fan speed. There is a remote which is a cool so you don't have to get up to make changes manually. The 5 buttons on the remote can control temp/time, power, mode, speed, and delay. Turn on your ceiling van and you have a nice setup! It fits easily in most windows and runs REALLY quite compared to other A/Cs I have in the past. ENERGY STAR rating sticker has printed Estimated Yearly Energy Cost of $53 with Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio of 11.1.
In all, I recommend this unit to anyone looking to cool a small space under 250/sqft!

Your NEXT Replacement Mouse! BANG for BUCK
on April 25, 2020
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
INSTANT UPGRADE FOR YOUR ONLINE STUDENT TODAY!
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you an excellent replacement mouse and intro gaming mouse for anyone looking to buy a mouse! It an instant upgrade for anyone not already in the gamer mouse market. Short and sweet, the G203 is a well-built fully customizable 6 button gaming mouse in a traditional and familiar form factor people already know. It is essentially a G203 Prodigy with improved RGB lighting now using LIGHTSYNC. If you have other LIGHTSYNC devices, this will just play with the others so nicely. Whether you are a gamer or have an office/home PC, this should be a contender for everyone's first replacement mouse. The RGBs make it a nice addition to any boring setup in the office or home and it can compliment your already awesome RGB gaming rig until you are ready to unload on your highly anticipated future mouse purchase. Build is one of solid black plastic construction with precision tension springs on the primary mouse buttons making it built to last. The mouse wheel is rubberized/textured while the roll is "clicky" but can be set to smooth if you like.
**Even during this Covid-19 pandemic, this mouse has done a cool thing for my old son during this transition to online schooling - bringing me to my next point. The G203 is more than capable as a mouse including children and adults alike. My 6 yr old son is now more excited to get his online classes done in the mornings during these interesting times for a Kindergartener. He gets to use a COOL mouse that "has colors" and just is thrilled to do "school work". We literally just plugged it in and you get RGB color cycling to brighten things up. The familiar ergonomics combined with modern design and ease of use makes this a serious option for anyone in this competitive budget space.**
Now, for the techy stuff like specs. Here are my notable boxes this mouse checked for me:
-Beautiful RGB lighting
-Ergonomics, aesthetics, and build quality
-8000 DPI sensor and 1000Hz polling rate fully customizable in GHUB software
-6 remappable/customizable button entry level gaming mouse w/ Long manageable cord
-GHUB Mouse Calibration/Customization
-Beautiful RGB lighting
-Ergonomics, aesthetics, and build quality
-8000 DPI sensor and 1000Hz polling rate fully customizable in GHUB software
-6 remappable/customizable button entry level gaming mouse w/ Long manageable cord
-GHUB Mouse Calibration/Customization
GHUB Software takes this otherwise basic mouse to the next level. The gamer-grade sensor offers fully adjustable sensitivity from 200-8,000 DPI and you pick the right level that fits your task. Create up to 5 presets you can cycle through at the click of a button. The G203 has fully customizable lighting effects you can add that final touch to. This is easily worth the price with all you get in this one little package.
Basically…. this is a buy. Remember, you can always try these things out then if you don't like it BestBuy has a return policy so no need to be worried. Be safe and stay healthy!

The Hoover® SmartWash™ PET Complete Automatic Carpet Washer is just as easy to use as our original SmartWash. Simply push forward to clean and pull back to dry. No trigger, and no mixing solutions. It’s literally as easy as vacuuming. And the SmartWash™ PET Complete is designed specifically for homes with pets. Use the Spot Chaser™ Pretreat Wand to pretreat stains before you clean or as you go. Plus, the antimicrobial FlexForce Pet PowerBrushes remove deep-down dirt while resisting pet odors. For those pet stains on stairs or furniture SmartWash™ PET Complete comes with an antimicrobial scrubbing tool.

The Hoover Smartwash Carpet Cleaner is an excellent addition to your carpet maintenance regiment. It excels at making carpets look new again leaving the place looking and smelling clean. With the 13" wide dual brush heads and 10A motor, you are getting a double scrubbing cleaning machine that blows through large areas in no time. The "smart" vacuum that knows when to dispense cleaning solution and when to dry the carpet with all mixing handled for you. There is no button to hold down while wetting the carpet so that makes things "smart". Push to shampoo and pull to dry… THAT SIMPLE! With Heat Force, you get hot air blown onto the carpet to help dry things more too! Never again will you have to wonder if you are over-saturating your carpet as it handles all that too. With antimicrobial brushes and the scrubber/pet attachment you won't harbor germs. This just sounds too good to be true, but it is!
Assembly was fast and easy with my setup time coming in at just under 5 minutes from building to filling. The tanks are easily removed and I had no issues with filling/emptying. The brushes too are easy to remove and clean as well. Don't lose the "lift" tabs used to secure them to the machine or you will be down a brush or two. These are not part of the brush but they do house some SUPER SMOOTH ball bearings instead of just friction in a plastic hole found on other shampooers. This is a PLUS for me in the build department. The pet attachment has antimicrobial rubber feet that do an excellent job of removing hair and other surface dust without damaging material you connect to an 8ft hose to get things done! It works well on stairs, furniture, cars, and carpets!
The machine's overall build quality feels on the cheap side. The door that covers the dual brushes is cheap flimsy plastic that I worry won't last and the gray trim around the door almost snaps off if you do not line things up perfectly. The latch that secures the door to the machine is extremely cheap and I fear will be the Achilles heel for this machine. Should it break, you will get no suction. Let's not mention the toy quality wheels it rolls on that I hope hold up in time. I am not sure how difficult finding replacement parts will be, but I hope not to have to find out.
Aside from the build quality concerns I have the machine is EXCELLENT in form and function. The intuitive vacuum-like experience it provides will make LOTS of people happy. I like the fact the solution is separate and you do now have to mix it with the water. There are 4 different tanks on this machine (dirty, clean, pre-treat, and solution) to keep up with, so have some fun. With the "Dry Only" button, you can essentially turn this into a wet-vac as well to just pickup water. There are attachments for cleaning stairs and upholstery that has rubber fingers that work great at removing hair from surfaces. After renting a "commercial grade" carpet cleaner a year ago, in comparison, I would say this little machine does just as good if not better. It is not as bulky and awkward to maneuver like the other machines out there which is great! The whole things weighs a little over 20lbs. If you can vacuum you can use this machine without worrying about over-saturating your carpets.
There is a pre-treatment wand which eliminates the need for a separate spot remover pre-treatment from a spray bottle. It is battery operated running off just 2 AAA batteries which I plan to change to rechargeable after they die. This is innovation at its finest and I have not seen another shampooer with this feature built-in to the vacuum. The included cleaning solutions all work well and smell great!
In all, aside from my concern of build quality, I would recommend this to all homes with pets and children who like to stain/dirty your carpets. For the price, I cannot recommend a better option for homes around the world!

Easily scan paperwork, receipts, business cards, and plastic ID cards directly to your PC or smartphone with this Brother mobile scanner. The embedded battery and microSD port let you use this portable scanner anywhere, while duplex scanning processes both sides of the document at one time. This Brother DS-940DW wireless scanner scans black-and-white and color documents at up to 16 ppm, while its compact size and mobility make it a perfect fit for usage on the road, in the home or small office.

The Brother DS-940DW is a portable and wireless scanner that utilizes a manual feed rather than automatic feeder. You need to scan a single page at a time but at LEAST it can scan both sides to save some time. The build is in my opinion cheap and flimsy but definitely solid enough to last. Parts wiggle and the door feels like it will break. It seems like it will hold up to heavy use but I am not a fan of the looseness felt handling the device. The scan quality is excellent for a device of this nature and more than enough DPI for business. It is designed for quick 1-2 page document scans so it you work with packets of paperwork this one isn't for you. This is more for a small business or service business that needs to keep records for receipt, contracts, and invoices.
It has a built-in battery that has lasted me about a week before the battery starts blinking red to indicate it needs a recharge. Although it was lightly used to scan business cards and receipts throughout the week, it was good enough for my business. You can use a wire, go wireless, or go microSD card (my favorite). If supports WPS for quick pairing and you also can use the Brother iPrint&Scan phone app as well. You get a faster USB 3.0 port and cord for fast document transfers. You can scan JPG and PDF without scan software which is excellent all with a push of a button. It does monochrome and color along with simplex and duplex page scanning. You can flip the door up and the paper will be fed upwards in tight spaces. It comes with Brother's iPrint&Scan software should you decide to go the USB-PC route.
Negatives
Only one page at a time without software. Even with software, you have to click per page to add it.
Lack of auto feeder. You literally can only scan one page at a time.
Build quality is subpar, if this is made for people who work in the field it must be meant to be replaced not to last.
SD card not included. You will need to buy one before you unlock 1 of the 3 modes.
If an error occurs, you have to guess what it is and ultimately just turn off the scanner and turn it back on again to fix it.

Positive
Scans both sides in one pass.
Scan without a PC using micro SD card. My preferred way to use this scanner.
Built-in battery so you can TRULY use it on the go.
Automatically holds paper in place.
Small and portable enough to fit into your computer bag.
Software suite is more than enough to handle most applications.

The Logitech StreamCam Plus is a nice aesthetic update but that is as far as I will say. Using others in their lineup, I just cannot see why they released this camera. After all these years, this is what is released from Team Logitech? I would expect a superior upgrade in the camera department and better lowlight performance for all this time. Cell phone cameras are smaller and offer better quality which is a head-scratcher for me. Something of this sheer size should perform better in my opinion. Now… let's get to the real things.
Design and Build.
Logitech has been doing design well over the past few years and build quality is superb. It is made of gray highly durable plastic with a beautiful touch of fabric to blend with many other modern design languages in home devices today. Aesthetically, I like the modern design and build Logitech has put together here and the materials used follow suit with Apple, Google, and other company's use of fabric to spruce things up. It is designed to be used in portrait mode or landscape mode out of the box and provides a tripod for other options. Choosing to lock in 78° NOT 90° as field of view is a BIG FAIL for this. Streamers want a wide shot not a close-up.

Ease of Use.
Seamless and easy setup is the main takeaway for me here. I plug it in and it did everything else in less than 10 minutes. Software was loaded and I was ready to start recording. You can setup all the basics for streaming and very easy to use. It is a good starter kit software for a beginner streamer. Others will use OBS and other software which works fine with this camera. It focuses well and does a great job of tracking. The onboard audio mic is a hair above average, but a streamer will probably own a Blue mic to start anyways. Blue mics are great and make a good solid setup for any beginner out there.

Functionality.
This thing can get the job done in the streaming department with 60fps and also 50fps and 24fps as options to shoot 1080p. The flexibility of portrait and landscape modes is cool BUT, the USB-C is really not needed for webcams that only shoot 1080p with this quality. Many users will need an adapter but this is for newer machines I am guessing? There is the option to mount the webcam as a traditional monitor mount that also can become a flat platform if needed. You can also use the included tripod to have options when composing your shots. I am befuddled by the inclusion of optical image stabilization (OIS) since a streamer isn't walking around with their webcam, they are probably seated and talking or playing games. It makes the functionality talk nonetheless.

Software.
The Logitech Capture software automatically installed using my Windows 10 PC. A nice surprise for sure! I just plugged it in and in a few minutes it was up and running after a few clicks. There are some customizations you can make, but NOTHING like I would like. There isn't much finetuning afforded for this camera but it is manageable.

Overall it is a good webcam but I am disappointed at the overall package delivered being that they've only as recently as three years ago came out with the webcam Brio and 7 years since the C930. It does not perform like a piece of tech that has a 7 year lead on research and development and really feels like a C930 with better cleaner glass in front of the sensor. I would recommend a C930 over this first if you are starting out. Using USB-C is a limiting choice, image quality isn't that much better, and FOV is NOT what we want. Color is off and showing more reddish and I am not a fan of the color science of this sensor. I really don't know who is streaming and asking for a camera like this. NO-GO for me!

Clean shave at a good price

The Norelco 5300 looks more expensive than it is. The aesthetics are on point with a sleek screen under a shiny dark window. The head does well adjusting to contours but the blades could be better. These are single blades so it will take a few more passes than let's say a triple blade array. It cuts well leaving a CLOSE shave, but it will take time. If you run out of battery you will look stupid with a bad shave… you have been warned (road warriors). The ergonomics are great but if you shave your head with this you will have some weird angles to adjust to. It lacks the ability to shave while plugged in, so this is a MAJOR negative to me but this seems to be the norm now. Maybe I just need to adjust. I would have liked to see a small pouch or something to keep it all together. I have seen them do it before. I wish there was a more exciting way to say this… but it is an electric shaver that gets the job done!
Pros
+Wet/Dry shaves and is fully washable.
+ Long Battery Life up to 40 minutes per full charge and fully charges in 1 hour.
+Ergonomic Design
+Trimmer for Edging

How to sync my calendar?
Enjoy a simple, no hassle solution for superior oral health. Without switching products, you can choose to brush, water floss, or brush and water floss by pressing a button. With brushing and flossing modes, achieving white, fresh teeth is simple, while the 10 settings make it easy to achieve the desired amount of pressure. This Waterpik Sonic Fusion flossing toothbrush can be recharged quickly for added convenience and has a sleek appearance.
On the Sonic-Fusion is the water flosser as good as using the stand alone water pik flosser??
In my experience it is not. I ended up just staying with my original waterpik flosser stand alone and not this. My Sonicare toothbrush still does a better job so the brush part isn't even worth the trouble if you have a sonic toothbrush already.
