A superior dual Lithium-ion battery charger
on June 6, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
The Hoover ONEPWR dual battery charger is light weight and designed to charge 2 batteries in a manner that provides a fully charged battery in the shortest period possible. Whenever 2 batteries are placed on the charger, it measures the amount of charge needed by both to reach full charge, and provides the charge to the battery that will reach full charge first. This feature guarantees a fully charged battery in the shortest possible time. The charger has dual status lights so that the state of each battery is always visible via the lights. The charger may be placed on any flat surface, or may be placed on a wall mount fitting and not take up counter or shelf space. The Hoover ONEPWR system devices and battery interchangeability are convenient and outstanding performers. This dual Battery Charger greatly increases the likelihood that there will always be a fully charged battery awaiting all system devices, or that the wait time to have a fully charged battery will be the shortest wait possible.

Excellent performance 4 short vacuum chores
on June 6, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
The ability to not be tied to an electrical outlet for vacuuming chores without giving up performance makes the Hoover ONEPWR + an excellent choice for small jobs. Suction power is excellent, and the powered carpet brush picks up dirt, fibers, hair easily. The only negative is that the OnePWR has it's motor and battery at the very top of the stick handle. This is a problem when using the powered carpet Brush attachment. It causes the person using the vacuum to bear the weight in one hand, which is tiring for any carpet vacuuming tasks more than 10 minutes in duration. For tasks where the powered carpet brush is "not" used, and accessories are being used for elevated tasks, i.e., curtains, blinds, upholstery, stairs, shelves, etc.,, the ONEPWR shines as the balance problem created by the weight in the top of the handle is not a problem. The overall design of the ONEPWR is excellent because changing the battery is both quick and easy. Similarly, emptying the dirt container is extremely quick and easy, as is maintaining the filter. It is extremely easy to remove and clean. The batteries that came with ONEPWR provided 30 to 40 minutes of use (depended on the workload placed on the carpet powered attachment) before they required a charge. In short, one hour of use at a minimum. The batteries contain charge status lights so that you can always tell how much charge remains as you work. Finally, a minor complaint that has nothing to do with the functioning of the vacuum, i.e., the vacuum will not stand upright on its own. It comes with a wall mounting bracket that must be used, or else the Vacuum must be leaned and braced or it will always fall over.

Beautiful in Oh so many ways ...
on May 4, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
I used to own a car referred to as a sleeper. Outwardly, it was nothing to get excited about, but under the hood, it had twin 4 barrel carburetors , an engine that was bored and stroked, and the acceleration was explosive. This Hisense TV is a sleeper! It is beautiful to look at with barely discernible bezel surrounding a jet black screen. The TV appears to be all screen. Ah, forget outward beauty, this SMART TV is brilliant. Yes it was packaged well so that unpacking was extremely fast and easy, but setting it up was where it's engineering brilliance really shined. I plugged it in, did not connect my Xfinity cable, just used the remote to turn it on. It promptly recognized my wi-fi network, and led me through activation instructions that were eezee pezzee. I was able to watch AMC, CBS all Access, ABC sports, Fox sports Go, and many many FREE Movie venues such as Prime Video, YouTube movies Tubi, Sony Crackle, Google Play, XUMO,& Discovery, History, A&E, AMC. Of course subscription channels opened instantly (Showtime, HBO, etc.). The brilliance extended to magnificent linkage with my Google Nest products, I have a Google Assistant next to the TV, and they instantly recognize each other and work together. I love controlling my lights, security system, home door lock (no keys), Nest video door bell, home hub max, etc with google, and this TV was a perfect addition working in minutes hand in hand with google assistant. I speak my commands, and the TV immediately goes to the channel, movie, or show. It is beyond SMART TV. Of cause all the brilliance would be for nought if the picture quality were just so so. Yep, the picture quality is superb. This TV was made for 4K broadcasts and true HDR, that is another area the TV shines. But even standard definition is enhanced and looks beautiful. What else? The remote control is simple to use, and goes beyond other remotes with HOT keys. One touch and you are at NETFLIX, Google Play, YouTube, VUDU, Google Assistant. The remote has an excellent built-in microphone for voice control. I also own an iPhone, and I was easily able to communicate and talk with the TV via google assistant and home on my iPhone. I could go on and on about the absolutely incredible lineup of features, but the bottomline is value. I believe Hisense's newest series 8 and 9 are the best value currently available in 4K HDR Smart TVs.

Absolutely superior color laser all in 1 printer
on March 26, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
Features galore, wow, not sure where to begin my list of kudos for Hewlett Packard. First, wireless setup was speedy and a piece of cake thanks to the superb set up software that made it a pleasure to print from my 3 Apple computers, my Dell all in one computer running the latest version of windows, and my iPhone. The printer design is attractive/efficient, and makes for extreme ease in loading paper of most any size, or replacing toner cartridges. Large paper storage tray, AND a special slot for loading single blank pages of unique texture, thickness, etc., for special tasks. The 2 sided printing worked flawlessly and has been saving me time and paper. As for time, this printer comes to life in seconds and prints both quietly and rapidly (my estimate being tween 20 and 25 PPM). Control of the printer via the HP software, or via the electronic touch panel was fast and easy. I have been printing mainly on "ordinary" copier paper, and marveled at the quality. I am not talking about B&W print, rather, printing pages with color photos. The quality was tantamount to printing on photo paper as the colors were crisp/true, and the images sharp. Finally, the cost of printing a page in B&W or color. I have not had the printer long enough to know how long the toner cartridges last, but based on the HP specs, I believe my cost per page of B&W or color will be 1/3 the cost I am currently experiencing with my Epson ink jet printers. Bottomline: Superior speedy printing, copying, scanning and Faxing. EASE OF USE, attractive appearance in a compact footprint, and quiet to boot.

Excellent pressure cooker/air fryer, directions OK
on February 23, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
Appearance, electronic touch control, construction materials, capacity, versatility -- all top notch. After cooking rice, making hard boiled eggs, beef stew, etc., the cooking results were superb. My rating would have been 5 stars except for the Instruction Manual lacking needed information and even misleading in a few places. For example: page 19 explains 8 steps to pressure cook, but leaves out 1 needed instruction following step 5 (it fails to tell the user to push Start/Stop button after using + and - button to set time). Page 23 explains how to cook rice, but doesn't give a hint as to how long to set the desired cooking time. Should it be 10 minutes? How about 15 minutes? Not even a hint or guideline such as "X" minutes per cup, or ounce. Finally, most cooking concludes when hearing the audible tone; whereupon, the user is to push the Steam Release button for what is supposed to be a 3 minute cycle. This implies the pressure has reached a level where the lid may be opened. Misleading! It may take 10 minutes + before the pressure reaches a level where the lid lock releases and may be opened. Bottomline: excellent pressure cooker/air fryer which delivers tender tasty superb results; however, not a time saver. Factor in time to build pressure and time to release pressure to open lid -- this adds to total food prep time and reduce somewhat one advantage of pressure cooking.

Best electric shave ever for sensitive skin!
on January 18, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
I have been shaving off and on with blades and several brands of electric shavers, to include Norelcos, for 5 decades, and can now state that Norelco has nailed it. A shaver that is the least abrasive and best deals with sensitive skin. I like the closeness of a blade shave, but the nicks and cuts cause me to always go back to electric shavers. Though electric shavers do not nick and cut, they do abrade my face. I change directions, use pre-electric shave products, and all help, but do not eliminate the problem of my sensitive facial skin areas. This shaver is just flat out the least abrasive of any I have ever used. I believe Norelco set about to accomplish this using several technologies, and they accomplished their objective. The shaver is also a standout in other regards: Long battery life (and quick charging), a cleaning system that makes maintaining the shaver an effortless piece of cake. Their system cleans, lubricates, and drys the shaver with the touch of a button. The only negative I had regarding the shaver was the lack of inclusion of a cover to protect the heads when traveling and the shaver is in its pouch. Norelco charges extra for the cover to protect the shaver. Such policy on a luxury shaver is unnecessary.

Looks, performance, ease of use, n touch screen :-
on January 7, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
Wow, awesome, impressive, capable, and aesthetically pleasing. Let’s start w setup. Eezee Peezee. Within10 minutes everything up and running smoothly from face recognition, internet, music (speakers were excellent), videos, mail, surfing — and all smooth as silk. Everything just works as I’d hoped thanks to built in assistant leading (Cortana) the way and answering any questions. The design is exceptional in that the beautiful 27” display mounted on 2 legs with perfect spacing for wireless keyboard and mouse make for a beautifully efficient foot print on any desk. The ease of adjusting the viewing angle and camera are top notch. Mouse and keyboard are not top quality in that both are a tad cludgy, but work exceptionally well, hence no complaints. I appreciate the large keyboard in that it speeds data entry with full numeric keypad and many function keys to accommodate app shortcuts. The mouse is extremely accurate and responsive with smooth scrolling wheel. The touch screen is icing on the cake, and comes in handy for a few apps. As for performance, the Intel I7 CPU is powerful enough to enable all but the most demanding video to be more than adequate displayed. The SSD drive is very fast, and the amount of RAM allows for stellar performance. Only serious rendering of 4K video pushed it’s limits. In short, there is power galore for probably 95% of the requirements of all users for working w photos, videos, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. Bottomline: Value is superb, and I strongly recommend this product as an exceptional all around family computer without any reservations.

Superb iPad 10’5’ protection & feature laden
on January 5, 2020
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
Product design is always a tradeoff, and this Logitech iPad protector case/keyboard is no exception. It is sturdy and truly provides 360 degree protection (front, back, all sides). This comes with a case heavier than many, but well worth the trade off in true protection for the iPad. The case comes w a keyboard that is easy on and off, and instantly snaps firmly into place. There are no actions regarding connectors, lining things up, The keyboard seems to automatically lock into fully functioning mode whenever the user wants to use same. While using the keyboard, it draws power from the iPad, to power the Logitech internal batteries from the iPad. This is a trade off in reduced (slightly) iPad runtime, but well made trade off in light of all the keyboard features that ease data entry to the iPad. The keyboard has excellent tactile feel, and numerous hot key function. These keys speed entering information. There are keys for screen control, audible control, instant bluetooth control, search hot key, and too many to list. They work very well with unique capabilities to many apps. Cursor control is superior due to the arrow keys controlling the cursor in any direction. When I compare the pricing, I believe Logitech has found a sweet spot. Considering the protection, the features, ease of use. — i believe this case/keyboard to be the best overall value currently available. I prefer it to the more expensive Apple keyboard case I use on my 2019 iPad Pro Max.

Works as advertised, easy 2 use, tuned up my iMac

Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
The AVG Tuneup was a breeze to install and to run. It did wonders for my photos saving me gigs of mass storage space, and identifying photos that should have been trashed years ago. I knew I had some duplicate files, but never realized that I had many duplicate files. Again, the Tuneup software freed up hard drive space previously wasted. The Tuneup is fast and efficient, and I highly recommend it for all, but particularly computer owners tight on hard drive space.

Everything Considered, Premiere Elements is BEST!
on November 5, 2019
Posted by: Stormylc
from Lady Lake, FL
I have used Apple iMovie ( every version going back to 2005 and the current version on my 2019 iMac), I have used Final Cut Express, and a superb program from Boinx called Fotomagico. Each have their pros and cons, some unique capabilities, and a learning curve. My conclusion is that Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 for MAC computers is simply the best. It has more unique features that are easier to use making the program the most cost effective video creation software in the present market. Importing photos and video in most every format, enhancing both photos "and videos" to a degree that exceeded all my expectations, and creating an end product in most any format desired -- considering everything, i.e., the capabilities, ease of use, and the costs vis-a-vis Apple's superb Final Cut -- I prefer Premiere Elements for most every amateur videographer , and IMHO, many professionals.

Does this speaker have an FM tuner?

The speaker is a superb speaker, it does not have any kind of tuner. If you can get the music you want to play on your smartphone, or tablet, or computer -- it will play on the speaker via bluetooth pairing. It takes 1 minute to pair the speaker and then the speaker remembers the next time you get near and turn on your smartphone, tablet, etc. In short, there is no need for a tuner if you have a current smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Does the Arlo 4 have any local/device video storage capability at all, or is an historical video (i.e. the last 72 hours) available only with a subscription?

Local onboard or local HD storage is not an option. A subscription for 1 camera provides 30 days of clip storage at 2K resolution at a modest less than $3 per month cost. Subscriptions for multiple cameras are discounted.

With an Arlo pro 4 how far from the camera(how many feet) will it detect motion and how many degress of coverage once motion is activated

I have not tested with a measuring tape, but would estimate approximately 20 feet at a minimum. I found the coverage area to be as advertised, i.e., 160 degrees.
