Picks up all the conversations on a Teams meeting
on February 23, 2023
Posted by: Debbi
I requested this item specifically to be able to increase the volume when there is audio on my computer specifically the many Teams meetings I attend for work. Sometimes several people are talking in a conference room (I'm remote) and I don't hear all the conversations. For that specific item on my Windows desktop and my Mac this worked well. On a Teams meeting without the Audio Dock I had the volume on the Mac turned all the way up. After installing the Audio Dock the volume was so loud I had to turn the volume to almost the lowest setting. The fact that I locate the speaker closer to me helps. Setup was easy after I searched for information. When you open the box it seems like you would just plug into the electric outlet and the computer and it would auto connect and start working. I guess I'm getting lazy because I want to plug in devices and then have them "automagically" work. You do have to access the Sound function on either a Mac or Windows machine and tell it to use the Audio Dock. I have added instructions (at least what I did) for types of computers. FYI - The instructions don't specifically say that it works with Mac OS Ventrua 3.12 (my OS) but it does work for me.

Lights up the whole backyard
on February 17, 2023
Posted by: Debbi
First off "wired" means you are going to connect this item directly to electric wire, not plug it in to an outlet. Have an electrician or handyman who is good with electric install this. It's not unattractive but it's not a decorator style light you would want in the front of the house. I had a wired floodlight in my backyard and we replaced it with this light. The handyman moved it so that it would attach to the patio and light up the area where someone would enter from the back gate. It's pretty bright! Even though it is directed towards one side of the yard, there is enough light that it lights up the whole backyard. There is an app that allows you to turn the light on and off. Seems simple but I like being able to turn the light on and then take the dog in the backyard instead of going in the backyard and then the light turning on. The camera will record events; however, if you want to view the events you'll need to subscribe to the service. Yes there is an introductory period with no charge and after that there is a charge. I personally do not sign up for subscription services. I did do a little research and saw that if you purchase a Blink sync module 2 and a flash drive, you can store video clips locally. It was reasonably priced so I purchased but have not added connected yet.

Rechargeable long battery life great microphone
on January 6, 2023
Posted by: Debbi
The more I wear these the more I like them. They look like regular earbuds so it isn't obvious that I have on hearing aids. That is a huge plus. The battery life is great they last all day. The specifications from Sony say they will last up to 26 hours. I wear them all day/night and charge overnight while sleeping. They last all day and are ready to go the next morning. Of course I charged them and put in my ears without installing the app on my phone. The have a tremendous microphone because they picked up every single bit of noise. I have an iphone and ran into a bit of trouble trying to pair the hearing aids with my phone. Finally got them linked under the accessibility/hearing area, not via Bluetooth function on the iphone. Had to turn them off (put in the case) and turn back on (take out of the case) to finally get the hearing setup process in the app functioning properly. I found the the setup to be a bit frustrating as I wasn't hearing the beeps and had no way to know what I was supposed to be hearing. Also, I had no way to know how many times I was going to go through this test on each ear. Thus, I didn't know if it was redoing the same test because I wasn't hearing what I was supposed to hear OR if it is doing the same test in different tones. (It was doing the latter I think). Also, there was no indication of how many tones (times) it would test. Once I got through the setup the the volume of my own voice was quite loud and it sounded very nasal. I used the "Fine Tuning" function in the app and it took care of both of those issues. Invest the time in setting these up and you will be happy with the results. I was afraid these might fall out and I might loose them but after several weeks I can say they stay in my ears with no issues. Also, you forget they are there after a few days. If the setup process and been less trying these would be 5 stars. Love that they recharge and don't require batteries. The microphone picks up every bit of noise. Amazing how the "ding" of a text message announcement sounds, never really heard how crisp and lyrical it sounds before. I have the volume set very low and it works great.

Great add on to my Mac laptop
on December 22, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
My plan for the Hyper DUO Pro 7-IN-2 USB-C Hub is to plug in devices that stay on my desk at home. Then I only have to disconnect the hub from my laptop when I take the laptop somewhere. When I return I simply plug the hub back in. Pretty easy. Mac laptops (older versions) can be a bit frustrating because they only have one type of connection. This hub makes it easy to plug in all different types of peripherals. I think it should come standard with every Mac laptop! I did recently get a new Mac laptop and will continue to use this hub for some of my peripherals. With wireless networks everywhere the Ethernet port isn’t really used anymore at least by me. I love that I can plug my printer in directly. I have several, used for different types of print jobs and sometimes the network gets confused. With this hub I can connect the printer directly to the laptop. Also my older Mac laptop doesn’t have an audio input and this little hub takes care of that. If you have a Mac laptop, this is a must. I'm considering a second one for travel.

What a difference!
on December 20, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
WOW! What a difference. Of course I put them on before downloading the Lexie app. The first thing I noticed was the video I was watching on my laptop was too loud and i had to turn it down. Without thinking scratched my shoulder and I could hear the noise of my nails on my skin. Again without thinking I moved my glasses and that produced a loud noise. Then I downloaded the Lexie app. Easy to pair the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I did follow the directions and take them out of my ears and plug them into the charging case which turns them off. Then take them out of the charging case and the paired right up with the app. I used the app to adjust the volume. Also you can use the app to set the environment. There are four delivered environments Noisy Indoor like with the TV, Music, Outdoors and Noisy Indoor like at a restaurant. Based on the environment selected the app will automatically adjust the volume and and treble (on the Outdoor setting). You can also create up to 10 personal environments. As I am writing this review I am hearing the keys on my Mac clack as I type. I've never heard this before, I always thought my Mac had "quiet keys"!

It Works!
on December 2, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Not only does this work, it does not hurt. I had "professional" Intense Pulse Light (IPL) way back in the day and it hurt. Then I had professional laser hair removal, it too hurt but produced great results so I went through several sessions. It was worth the investment, I no longer have to worry if legs or underarms need to be shaved. However, laser hair removal is not permanent. Mostly yes, but not forever and always. Thus a few hairs show up here and there. The SmoothSkin Pure Fit IPL hair removal system is the answer. It's small and easy to handle. I had one of the first home IPL tools and it was much larger and difficult to get to some spots. The Smoothskin Pure Fit works great. I tried all three modes, power, gentle and speed. I didn't notice any difference between gentle and speed modes. Gentle mode was a bit less of a snap (think rubber band) when it zaps the hair follicle. The power mode did NOT hurt (woo hoo!). I can tell you this is a keeper. If it came with a travel bag it would be perfect.

Good quality picture
on October 30, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Records a good quality picture. Setup is easy. The menu on the camera is easy to move around and change settings. For example, I turned on the selection to use daylight savings time. I installed this in time for my trip to southern California. Fortunately I didn't need to keep any of the pictures! the unit is designed (based on where the power cord plugs in) to be installed on the passenger side of the rear view mirror so it doesn't block the view of the driver. The power cable plugs into the cigarette lighter. The power cable is long enough that it is supposed to wrap around the windshield (think half square) and then under the glove box to get to the cigarette lighter. I had the cord go straight down from the windshield to the lighter. Looks a bit funny with a cord dangling but it works. The camera is automatically on when you plug it in. It would have been helpful to e camera on and review the menu and make any changes before putting in the car. You can add on a rear view camera and a parking monitor. The latter requires a Smart Hardwire Kit that connects to the car battery.

Good basic printer/copier/scanner
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Once the printer is setup it prints a crisp clean printout (thus 5 stars). Color printing is average and acceptable. It is a very light weight printer, which makes it pretty portable. Not much to unpack which is nice. The Deskjet prints, copies and scans - pretty standard functions. The box says "Keep it simple". And yes the unpacking was pretty simple. I would like to say the same about the software. I have several HP printers and installing a new one means the existing one stops working (probably something I'm doing). To avoid that I installed the app on my phone and used the hotspot on my phone for the internet so it wouldn't recognize any other devices I own. HP really, really wants you to sign up for "Instant" ink. This laptop comes with 9 months of ink supplies. Of course a credit card is required. Once the trial period is over you will be charged a monthly fee based on the plan you choose. Sounds great but I really, really don't like my credit card stored on any website. The printer comes with "starter" ink cartridges, which means they aren't as full as they might be (so I have been told). Thus a trip to the office supply store is in my near future. FYI - it comes with a port in the back so you can connect a cable from the printer to a laptop/desktop.

Internet is noticeably faster
on October 24, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
Wow! Who knew a wireless router could make such a difference in speed? I work from home, mostly attend conference calls, instant messenger and send/receive emails. After connecting the Nighhawk AX6 I saw a noticeable improvement in the speed of my devices. The TV in my bedroom only has an internet connection. Sometimes it would take several minutes, more than three, to load the Amazon Prime menu. Now I turn on the TV, click Amazon Prime and right away I get the menu for the user and then “my stuff” quickly loads up to choose from. I would purchase this router just for that! It says it supports up to 25 devices. I turned on both TV’s with something from Amazon Prime. I then used both my iphones to play videos. Just to be sure, I played a video on my personal computer while on a conference call (on mute). I was pleasantly surprised to see the videos on the phones and computer load quickly and run without pausing. Granted, it was six devices, not 25 but Wow this Nighthawk AX6 added speed I didn’t know I was missing!

Great Styling Tool
on October 24, 2022
Posted by: Debbi
With my old hair dryer I would have a brush in one hand and the dryer in the other. With this Airebrush I can dry and style my hair with one hand. Handy in case I want to dry my hair and text at the same time! It did take a bit of practice to get used to doing a task that used to be two handed to one hand. I like it being all one unit, no more looking for that round brush. The Airebrush has five levels of heat. I found level three worked best for me, not too hot and not too cold. I used the flat brush to style my hair flipped out and it came nicely. The next day when my hair was a bit damp from the shower (not washed) I used the round brush to flip my hair under. I was pleasantly surprised when it came out great. Took the frizz out and a new look. Sounds silly but what I really like about the Airebrush is, when turned on it goes back to the same setting as the last time it was used. There are three levels of airspeed. The first level was perfect for me. Seems trivial but I also really like that there is small velcro strap attached to the cord so you are a always able to wrap up the cord easily.

From pour-over to French press and every method in between, Ode Brew Grinder brings the café experience to your kitchen. With single dosing, a small countertop size, a magnetically aligned catch and grinds knocker for added cleanliness, Ode turns a morning chore into an elevated experience.
 

Hi. Since this is sold in America that would imply it is to be used in America. So I was wondering why the specifications here list the voltage requirement as 220v? While I do agree that 220v grid is indeed a better design, I live under tyranny of 120v...

The Fellow grinder plugs into the American standard (120v) outlet in my kitchen and works great. Perhaps the documentation you read had a typo?

my friend accidentally took the power supply for this to rural Mexico, and it is really difficult for him to ship stuff to me. Are there any specs on what the specific 12V power plug is for this, so I can get a compatible replacement?

See the pictures attached; hopefully, that will answer your question
