Great product from reliable brand
on December 20, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
I used this Insinkerator Badger 5 to replace my old garbage disposal which started making a weird noise and then stopped working. The installation was not that difficult at all. I have replaced garbage disposal in the past and the process is pretty much the same. I estimate it took me a little over 20 mins to get it installed. If you have never installed one of these before I recommend watching their Insinkerator installation video on YouTube. The video is very helpful. I have used Insinkerator in the past and they are pretty reliable. They are also the go to brand for garbage disposal as they are reliable and inexpensive depending on the model of course.
In my case, I did not need to replace the old mounting assembly because there was no damage. So yes my old parts work for the new one as my old garbage disposal was the same brand. Most of the work I had to do was re-connecting the drain pipe and the dishwasher drain pipe to the food processor. Once Installed the pipes, I connected the power cable to the outlet and did a test of the food processor. I tested it and it grinds the food with no issues whatsoever. I also ran the water for a few minutes to observe for any leaks again with no issue there. I am satisfied with this product and pleased with how well it performs and how easy it was to install. I know this may not be the same case for everyone but in my case the mounting system saved me a lot of work and time. Overall this product works as intended, is reliable and affordable. It performs very well and is easy to install.

Extreme light and comfortable but..
on December 19, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
I gotta say that these Lexie B2 hearing aids are very well made. These are powered by bose but when you look at the packaging, content and built quality of the device, they look just like a Bose. Even the charging case and hearing aids have the Bose branding on it. The actual devices are small and conceal themselves very well behind the ears. They are lightweight and feel comfortable when wearing. I suffer from hearing loss but I currently don’t use hearing aids despite the fact that I can't hear certain frequencies. This is the first time I tried such a thing and from a person who never used hearing aids, I can say they felt comfortable.
Setting them up I can relate to be easy. Download the Lexie app and pair the hearing aids. I encountered what may be a glitch with the app. Every time I open it up I end up on a screen where it says “continue from where you left off”. You have the option to sign out, restart or continue. I’m not sure if that’s how the app is supposed to behave but is annoying. Once you pass that then you can actually engage with the device settings. You have the option to adjust the world volume and the treble, base and L/R balance . You can also choose which direction you want to hear whether it is front or everywhere. The front direction actually works well, especially when talking to someone or watching TV. When you enable the everywhere setting you can notice the difference between the two. The app is very simple to use, you can also setup your own custom environment settings. That being said, those settings are pretty much like presets that you can create, but honestly the only thing you can adjust no matter what preset you use is the volume, treble and base.
The sound quality is ok. It sounds like you're in a tunnel per se , that's the closest way I can describe it. It just didn't sound natural, especially when raising the volume at a higher level you can hear yourself. These hearing aids will be good for someone who suffers from moderate to severe hearing loss in my opinion and that's because this allows you to hear all frequencies. For someone like myself who has issues only with high frequencies will not be suitable. For instance, I raised the volume up around 50 and I was able to hear the high pitch I have issues with but then everything else was too loud and became annoying. Another thing to note: I suffer from tinnitus and this device was not able to mask it.
When it comes to battery life the manufacturer suggests the battery will last around 18hrs. I can vouch that you can go through the entire day with no issues. The charging case is just that, it only charges, it does not recharge your device on the go which is a bummer from a device that costs this much. I looked around the user manual and it does not state the case will charge your device unless it is plugged. The case itself is a little bit bulky and uses a USB-C connection for charging and does not support wireless charging. These hearing aids also come with different size tips and a cleaning tool.
Overall this device will work well for the specific group that is targeted which in my opinion is for people who suffer from moderate to severe hearing loss. If you suffer from a specific frequency loss I’ll suggest going to a professional and have them make something specifically just for you. The device has great built quality, it is easy to use, is small and discrete, and is very comfortable. It has a battery life that will get you throughout the day with no problem. You also get 2 years of expert care with your purchase. On another note this device is very expensive for what you are actually getting. In the box you get the hearing aids, charging case, USB-C cable, ear tips, cleaning tool and manuals.

Great Parental controls!
on December 9, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
The Gryphon AX Tri Band Mesh Wi-Fi router is a small router that can easily be placed on a bookshelf depending on where your cable modem is located. This is my first time using a Gryphon router. The setup was relatively easy. Connect the router to power and to a modem, download the Gryphon application, and register your account. The Application then provides a status update and that you are connected to the internet. Within the app you have access to the router settings and other features. An area where this device really shines is with the parental controls. You can view the screen time, schedule internet access, filter webs and apps plus more. All that is accessible in the app and is very simple to use. I have done online gaming with no issues, The connection is great. Fast web browsing and quick downloads.
Something I found cumbersome was when a device is connected to a router it is a bit difficult to identify it since the app only shows you the MAC address and sometimes the manufacturer’s name. So it may be challenging to identify which device belongs to whom. For example, if you and your spouse both have iPads and your two kids each have iPads the app will show Apple products with a MAC address but not the specific iPad model or name. My workaround was to connect each device one at a time. Of course that can easily be resolved with an update. I used the same SSID and password from my old router so that every device would connect automatically. That saves me a lot of time than starting from scratch with a new SSID and password.
The Gryphon AX Tri Band Mesh Wi-FI router is rated 3000 square feet. I am a bit disappointed because I have an 1800 sq feet home that is 2 floors and the signal is great on the first floor but once I go to the second floor the Wi-Fi cut out. This is quite disappointing because you will need a second mesh router and that will put you around the $500 mark for two routers. Something worth noting is the available ethernet inputs, is only 1. There are two ethernet slots but one is for the modem. The back of the router has plenty of space, and they could have easily put 4.
Overall this is a good router with really strong signal connection and great parenting control tools. It is very well constructed and easy to setup. On the downside if you have a 2 floor home, you may need to buy a second mesh router or a set of two to cover that floor. In the box you get the router, ethernet cable, power brick and some manuals.

Heavy-duty protection. Slim design. Think you need a chunky case to protect your iPad (10th gen) from drops, spills, and scratches? Think again. Rugged Folio is a surprisingly slim keyboard case with drop protection for iPad. This light all-in-one case features four use modes, spill-proof keyboard, iPadOS shortcut keys, and more.

Protect and Charge your iPad
on November 23, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
This Logitech Rugged Folio for iPad 10th Generation is great so far. It offers great protection that apparently exceeds Military Standard. I specifically wanted a case with great protection because of my kids. The keyboard is spill proof. I have not had any accidents so far but it is great to have that extra protection. It is definitely a plus. I like how you can fold the keyboard over and it stays put due to the strong magnets. The keyboard keys are quiet when clicking so it does not disturb those around you. Nice feature. I am a huge fan of the built in screen shot button. It is so much more convenient than pressing the power and home buttons simultaneously on the iPad. I have never had a case with a built-in keyboard where the case does not have to be charged. This is great! No extra cables to carry because the power is sourced directly from the iPad. Overall this is definitely a great alternate third party case that will not only go well with your iPad but it will be protected years to come.

Excellent Budget Printer
on October 31, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
The HP Deskjet 4133 is an excellent budget printer. The printer is very well built, looks sleek and modern and it was very well packaged. Setting it up was relatively easy using the HP smart app. This printer only uses two ink cartridges and you will find a set in the box. One multicolor ink cartridge and one black. This printer's main functionality is wireless but you can connect it directly to PC via USB 2.0 but the cable is not included. You will find an LCD screen and functions buttons on the front. The paper tray is located in the back and it holds around 60 sheets. On the top you have the flat scanner glass and ADF slot.
The printing quality was very good for a sprinter of this caliber. It also prints very fast and quietly. For those who used the automatic two sided printing unfortunately is not supported by this printer. The scanning quality was very good as well. The Smart app is simple to use and you can access all the printer functionality from there. Over all this is a great printer that can handle most of your day to day tasks without breaking your pockets. It is easy to use and setup and only uses two ink cartridges. In the box you get the printer, power cable, set of inks, and some manuals.

No need for keys
on October 20, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
If you owned the Yale Assure like I do, then you will love this one. Like the previous, it is top notch quality built and very easy to install. I really like the smaller design with the square shape and rounded corners, it looks modern and elegant. The physician installation is very simple even for newcomers. This lock works with 4 double AAs batteries which are also included. Batteries are advertised to last 6 month but that will depend on the constant use. You will have to download the Yale access app to complete the setup to start using the smart features.

The locking function works beautifully like the previous version and it is quiet as well. The touch pad is very responsive and like before you have to wake it up to use it. To wake up the touchpad, tap the Yale logo. The app is easy to use. There are plenty of features with this lock and one of my favorites is the ability to share virtual keys. The auto unlock feature is another of my favorites. This lock is the Wi-Fi version and something to appreciate you don’t have to use a separate bridge to be connected like in the past. This works with bluetooth out of the box. This lock can be set up with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Homekit. It is also advertised to be Matter compatible whenever that becomes available. By changing the modules you can make it work with other wireless technology like Z-Wave. Modules are sold separately.
Overall this is a great smart lock and a great upgrade if you have a previous gen. It has great built quality, it is easy to use and install. It comes with plenty of smart features and if you like to use physical keys they have one with that option too. In the box you get everything needed to get started. The Lock, strike plate, batteries, Wi-Fi module, installation kit, door sensor and manuals.

Nailed it Again!
on October 20, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
Eufy has nailed another winner in the smart lock category. I owned the previous Wi-Fi version and it just has been a phenomenal lock. This lock with a security camera is the upgrade I was waiting for. The built quality is top notch and the installation process is just as simple as it can be. As always the institutions are super easy to follow. What makes this lock so great, for starters, is that the fingerprint unlocking feature is the best. It works almost instantly and on the first try every time. It's rare that I have to readjust my finger to be read. They have added a 2k security camera built in and a wireless doorbell chime that is included. So basically you have a smartlock and a smart doorbell all in one.
This device is not the typical size lock, it is a bit longer than a regular lock and some may find it bulky. With all the features and technology it offers I don't mind the size at all. The built quality is outstanding and the video images are just great. Due to the lock being mounted front facing this will solve a lot of problems for people like myself that have hallway entrances and the need of angle wedges for the doorbells. The included chime also acts as a local storage so no need to pay monthly membership to store your videos. What's also great about this lock is the ability to unlock it in so many different ways, Finger print, access code, wireless, and with a physical key. You can even share your lock access with a friend using the Eufy security app.
The Eufy security app is easy to use and will give you access to all the lock features and recordings. It will also show you who accesses the door with a date/time stamp and even a photo of the person. It is intuitive and easy to use. Battery life is great as it is rated at 10000mAh. That will give you a few months easily and the best part is rechargeable. It will work with Google assistant and Alexa.
Overall this smart lock has taken the crown from the previous wi-fi lock. It has all the good features from the previous version plus a better fingerprint reader and the ability to act as a doorbell with a built-in camera. Yes, it is pricey but a good doorbell and smart lock in this category separately will get you about the same price or more.. In the box you get the lock, rechargeable battery, wireless chime, installation kit, and manuals.

It's a Bella
on October 10, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
I have owned several Bella Pro in the past and they have been amazing airfryers. This one doesn’t fall short. It has a beautiful design and looks modern. When you turn it on the black display becomes alive. It has a touch display and is very responsive. The size of the device itself is not that big which will be great for a small kitchen or apartments. It is 4.2qt. don't expect to put an entire chicken. You can cook a decent amount of food in it. I was able to fit 3 large chicken breasts with no issues.
This one comes with 8 presets, air fry, bake, roast, broil, reheat, keep warm, french fries and wings. It has a maximum of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The pullout basket comes out easy and it will pause the device when pulled. When the device is on it is very quiet and heats up very quickly.
This airfryer is very easy to use and clean. Food that you throw at it will come out perfect. There's not much science when using an airfryer; it all comes down to size and quality. As a Bella Pro user I can say they are reliable and this one falls in that category.

A real travel massager
on October 10, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
The Hyperice venom go is the portable massager that you can take anywhere. This small little device is rechargeable and comes with three reusable rubber pads. The pads use adhesive that sticks to the body and the massager sticks to the pads with magnets. The device itself is super small that fits in the palm of your hands. It's a very cool device to use and you manage it through the Hyperice app or by using the control buttons. Setting it with the app was relatively easy as it connects via bluetooth.
There are 3 vibration modes. The first is continuous, the second intermittent and the third a combination of the two. There's also 3 levels of heat, soft, medium and strong. The heating option can be used with vibration or by itself. You can program it for up to a maximum of 30 continuous minutes. You can also pause it and resume at any time. The device will automatically pause when you take it off to move it to another area of ​​the body. After you have placed it in a different location you just press resume to continue or end to finish the routine. .
The high heat level is really strong, for a moment I had to lower it to level 2 because it was burning me. Of course I imagine that depends on each person's tolerance to heat but it does relieve the muscle. I put it on my leg which I was having pain for a few days and it calmed me down. I felt relieved to have it on. I used it for a continuous half hour and the battery didn't run out. Battery capacity is advertised for 1 hour. After using it, you put the protective sticker back on it and then reuse it several times. Each pad brings its own sticke and it can be reused for up to 20 times.
With the Hyperice app you can create routines. After finishing the routine for the time that was programmed, the device turns itself off and the app will display that you have completed that routine. It will give you the option to start a new one or if you want or complete to exit. The app will also display the battery level. It does not display a percentage but instead the image of the battery and as it discharges.
Overall this device is light and small, easy to use, super practical and simple but functional. You can take it with you wherever you go. It relieves the pain and discomfort you have, and it feels good. It can be placed anywhere on the body and it adheres very well due to its strong adhesive. In the box you get the massager, 3 pads and charger.

The Neato Robot is a well constructed device. It arrived nicely packed. In the box you will find the vacuum robot and some accessories. There is this little tool that looks like a comb. It is used to remove the hairs that get stuck to the vacuum brush. And it also comes with 2 HEPA filters. The instructions are explained very well and they are easy to follow. I love the fact that the vacuum lasts up to 300 minutes, that's close to 4hours, more than enough to clean my entire house in 1 run. When it comes to cleaning it does an excellent job in that department and is also very quiet. Setting it up with the app took about 15 minutes. Once setup just send the robot for a run and it will create a map of the house. The app is very intuitive and easy to use. You can also create multiple cleaning zones and no go zones as well.
During my experience the vacuum got stuck on the carpet a few times. I had to lift it over and put it back on the floor. I'm not sure if it was because the carpet was too thick. It is advertised to do both hard floor and carpet. It also got stuck under the sofa. I understand the logic of the shape which makes it easier to clean flat corners but it also makes it a little hard to get into thighs areas. Overall it is a very well made robot and it does a cleaning job very well. It has some good technology that some others don't have, like LIDAR. It is quiet and it has one of the longest lasting batteries than any other cleaning robot I have used. It uses HEPA filters, it's easy to use and clean. In the box you get the vacuum, charging base, cleaning tool, 2 filters and manuals.

I really wanted to fall in love with it
By Anonymous from Fort Worth, TX
At the time I'm posting this, the Wi-Fi model ships with broken Books and YouTube apps (major advertised features). Motorola support said it's a known issue and an update is coming soon, but if they didn't catch this in testing it makes me worry about what else they missed. Researching online it seems this issue may only affect models Best Buy carries. Android has some great features but for a tablet that on paper is so much more powerful than an iPad I'd expect to be able to scroll down a page without jitters. The screen feels/looks inferior to iPad, in my opinion. Whites colors have a nasty yellow tint.

Looks good on paper
By Sam313 from Westland, Mi.
After spending $200 on a router you would expect a great working device, sadly to say that hasn't been my experience with this device. It is constantly dropping wireless connection and that was the main reason I ditched my old one.
I went through tech support trying to see if they even had a clue as to what could be wrong, but all they would offer was a reset, launch the router in rescue mode, upload latest firmware. This equals to the same poor results. I replied back telling them I have the same issues and they simply say (and I quote) " Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. " Meanwhile I'm left with a 200 dollar brick.
I'm going to exchange it for another one hoping I have a defective device.

Sam313, i had the same issue with previous routers, this might help, is you have a wireless home phone 5.GHz make sure they are wireless router friendly, those phone tends to interfere with the signal and dropped your router connection hope this might help it work for me after i replaced the phone.

Excellent Performance and Range
By Wishkid from Florida
I was very skeptical about this router even though after much research since Asus was not actually a router builder. I have owned this device for about 3 month and it has prevailed very well after the few hiccups at the beginning. First thing first if you buy this router make sure you update the firmware, that was one of the main issues I had in the begging after setup, some of my connections were dropping and that’s due to faulty firmware, I even though about returning it. After upgrading the firmware it took two of them, and the issue was gone. Second if your familiar with router setup use the advance setup not the wizard, I tried that and it was a pain in *** I could not get connected to the internet no matter what, so I end up resetting the router and do it the old fashion way advance mode, after that no issues. Another thing other has mention this router does get hot you don’t need to touch after setting it up but is something to mention since I experience it when removing some of the hard drive I have connect it to it.
Pros: Range is excellent this was one of the reason I replace my old Linksys E4200. Internet speed and routing are a pro I finally getting HD with no lag streaming two Xbox at the same time. I have over 18 devices connected to this router I it performed like a champ no wonders it cost so much. Cloud service easy to setup and you can access from any were including your phone. The two USB are a PLUS hook up two TB hard drives and your set, no need to store on your device and they are easily accessible. DNLA some people claim is not support it they are wrong, I have use it and it works very well specially if you have android phones and like to stream you can use your router DNLA to do that. Also this router looks bad ** it looks like it was made out of carbon fiber and the Status lights of the front are a plus you can easily know what’s connected and working and what’s not.
The Router Admin setup screen is not the best but not either the worst, there are pros a cons to it, one of the best thing you can see what’s going on in the main page such as clients connected it, USB, cloud, and so on. One thing I personally don’t like is that to setup 2.5 and 5 GHz you have to toggle between the two is not big deal but they could of make it simple to do it in one location. Another thing that is missing is the ability to hide guest SSID if there is an option I have not found it. Also you cannot rename clients connected to it, that’s something I really missed from the Linksys I could rename the client so I could easily identify what was connected to the router. Everything else such as setup a cloud service was very simple. Some more network knowledgeable people can take advantage of the advance power options this router has such as the QoS traffic management and other.
Overall this router does what it is intend to do, it cost a lot but you get what you paid for, and if you do research on this router will still come up as one of the best when it comes to performance. I highly recommended, and I’m very happy with my purchase.

After I left my initial review few days later Router went bad, I honestly don't know what cause it. The router was not connecting to the web even though it was connect it to the modem, when browse internet could not find page after few refresh it work then it goes bad again, it happened wireless and also hardwire I performed some troubleshooting and firm updates but no luck. I would really recommend if you going to spend the money on this router you may want to purchase the warranty service from Best Buy it will save you any hassle in the future since you can take it to the store and get a new one. I received an RMA within 24hrs that wasn't so bad, the worst is that you have to send the router to them and pay for the shipping one way, they well send it back to you after repair and ground service I send it air 3 days service, that's awful service after speeding so much on this router. Any way RMA will take approx. 3 weeks according to them so if this router is your primary you will be out of luck, luckily my modem support WIFI. This comment will not by any means regret my purchase is an electronic device and they can go bad, this just an update since I cannot over write my initial review, I learn my lesson next time if you going to spend a lot of money on high end device pay the extra cash on BB warranty, you may not use it but look my situation now I have to wait 3 weeks to get a replacement, the router went bad approx. 3 month after purchased seen similar to other negative reviewers. But overall the router does what it supposed to do when is working. Knock one Star out for the awful warranty support, so it will be 4/5 stars.

Finally received my router yes it took long time. Let me start by giving this router 5* stars and here is the reason why: Today 5/14/13 I received a new router not a refurbish but a new router in the box with everything. When I hooked it up guess what same issue started again so now in really convince is not the router nor the Modem. I was trouble shooting this thing for almost 5 hours until finally got the solution. If you have Comcast and you have the triple play you may received a modem Arris TG862 which act as a modem and wireless router. That being said, make sure you are using a Ethernet cable Cat5e( included with the Asus router) minimum Cat6 better, that will enable the T1000 connection between your router and the modem but that was not the problem. The whole problem was with the ISP all along the TG862 modem act as a router so when you connect your Asus router to that modem it will start having issues obtaining DHCP address. That's why it was dropping my internet connection because it was dropping the WAN because it could not renew or obtain that DHCP address. How did it notice going into the Asus router Log screen you will see many times WAN connection stopped then try to re-start. How to fix that call Comcast and tell them to turn the routing feature OFF from the modem and turn it into BRIDGE mode. That will let the Asus router to the routing and will fix that connectivity problem hope this help others in the future.

I seen the 4K picture in store and it looked awesome. But when I got the TV home and seen the screen in regular 1080 resolution I regretted it immediately. My friend bought the Samsung 65" 1080P 240hz the same day for $2500 cheaper and his picture and features are a lot better in my mind. I actually think my TV I replaced with this (samsung 58" plasma) had a better picture also. Disappointed!

Best of the Best
By Boomer from Houston, TX
This is my 6th Sony television and the best yet! This TV is an upgrade from my Sony 60" 1080p set. I love being on the cutting edge of television technology! Easy to set up and more apps than you will ever need. I also pre-ordered the 4k player. Hopefully it comes soon. The picture is astonishing! The 3D is unbelievable. What precise 3D should be. So much better than with absolutely no shadowing. Watching Avatar, the little flying creatures look like they are in your room. So much so, that you are truly tempted to reach out and grab one. I compared this tv with several others and Sony has the best picture, features, etc. Best Buy makes you comment using a minimum of 50 characters. Let me just sum it up with one word "WOW"!

Great features but dark scene performance kills it
By ErickRPG
I purchased a 75" because I wanted to upgrade when my 70" panel failed. The bright scene performance is amazing, even on 1080p blu rays. But because of the IPS edge lit panel when it is a dark scene the bad contrast ratio really shows. Lots of grey and it's very dull and washed out. I had read that this TV was slightly better in all ways than my LG 70LB7100. But to be honest with you, I think the 3D in this set is actually not as good as my old 1080p LG. And I think the blacks were even just a tad bit better on the older TV. When I say 3D it just feels as if the 3D does not pop out as impressively as the old set. There is no crosstalk. I ended up sacrificing screen size and went with the 65" OLED because black level performance on this set is horrid.

My husband bought me the Apple air buds and they are too big to fit in my ear. Are the Belkin earbuds smaller than Apple’s air Buds?

They are smaller and more comfortable than regular airpods. these kind of resembles the airpod pro and work in the same manner in which you have to plug them in the ear. it comes with different size foams that you can use to adjust the right size.

Can the SoloCam L40 (or any other SoloCam cameras) use the Solar Charger accessory?

The manufacturer does not clearly stated if it does, but I believe it do because on the camera power manager option setting on the L40 you can choose the power source from internal battery or solar power.

I used it with an Android galaxy note 20 and I had a case on it. The clamp expanded wide enough to support the case. So to answer your it most likely work with your iPhone and the case.
