Remove plaque and experience a deep, effective clean with Sonicare technology, removing up to 7x more plaque vs. a manual toothbrush. Sonicare technology gently pulses water between your teeth, for a month's worth of manual brushing in just 2 minutes. The QuadPacer lets you know when you've spent the optimal amount of time on each section of your mouth while the SmarTimer signals when your 2 minutes is up. The pressure sensor flashes red to remind you to ease off, helping to prevent gum recession, while the 2 intensity settings ensure a comfortable clean that’s right for you. Going electric might feel like a big step, but with this brush you’re in safe hands. Its slim ergonomic design and familiar-shaped head gives you everything you need for an effective clean. The kit includes 1 Philips Sonicare 4100 electric toothbrush, 1 Optimal Plaque Control (C2) brush head and 1 USB charger (wall adaptor not included).

Excellent Toothbrush at the Right Price
on January 18, 2022
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
This electric toothbrush is basic but does a great job! The two minute timer lets you know that you’ve done what you need to do and vibrates for you so you’re not trying to time yourself.
Also, it let’s you know when you are brushing too hard with a distinct change in vibration as it happens. One thing it has been difficult to get used to is not scrubbing your teeth which is what you’re more apt to do when using a regular manual one. It’s important to remember not to do that and to let the electric toothbrush do its job as you move it throughout your mouth hitting both your teeth and gums. Per the instructions, dividing the mouth into four sections does make it easier to hit all of the areas.
Charging the brush was quick and so far after a few days of use, there has been no difference in strength. The lights on the brush handle will inform you of charging and brush head replacement needs. The instructions are very clear so spending just a couple minutes going through them is well worth it.
Excellent investment.

Comfortable and Heated Neck Massage
on December 30, 2021
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
Overall this massager is comfortable and convenient. The wrap itself is soft and feels good on the skin. The cord is out of the way once you have it positioned to your liking and the buttons are conveniently located on the front so you can adjust it as needed.
The massage and heat intensity have three settings each, low - medium - high, and can be set in all of those combinations (i.e. low heat, high massage, etc.). You can use each of them independently which is also nice.
There is a good weight in the larger part of the wrap with helps to keep it in position on your neck and upper back. I’d prefer that it reached a bit lower on the upper back but otherwise, it hits the right spots in that area. I have turned it slightly to the left or right just to get a bit of my shoulder area near my neck and although not really made or formed to allow for that, it will work.
Overall, a good device and easy to use while laying down or sitting up and even if you fall asleep, it will turn off on its own (15 minutes for the massaging function and 2 hours for heat). For a quick treatment at home, it certainly does the job.

Perfect for the Family
on December 21, 2021
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
This printer is an excellent addition to our household. With one of two adults and two kids in school. We do a fair amount of printing. With the proactive monitoring of ink and the overall printer status, we're never caught off guard and running to the store late at night to get ink! It comes with six months of free ink that will ship on an as-needed basis.
The setup of the printer was super easy and I was up and running in just a few minutes. The HP software helps you get it going quickly and you can also use the app to check various settings.
Printing is quick for a home printer and the quality is very good. I tend to buy thicker stock paper so that my reports or everyday documents have a little bit more substance to them. The ink dries quickly and the documents look great. We also printed a couple of pictures from our phones and the quality was good. There are only two ink cartridges, black and color, this could cause slightly less vibrant photos when compared to a printer using four cartridges but unless you are printing large portraits, you won't really see much difference.
I'd definitely give this printer a try if you need an inexpensive printing solution at home.

Echo Frames are smart audio glasses that give you hands-free access to Alexa. They are designed to help you save time so you can focus on what matters most. Use them to listen to audio entertainment, control your smart home, stay productive and organized, and communicate hands-free.

Although maybe a bit of a novelty at this point, these are pretty fun to use and can come in handy when sitting at your desk and need to call on your preferred personal assistant to give you some news, a weather report, or just listen to music.
The glasses were simple to set up using the Amazon Alexa app. They connected quickly and came with about a 50% charge. I was able to get Alexa to give me my daily update and weather without hesitation.
I played music using the Amazon Music app and the sound is decent. Obviously, it isn’t the same as wearing headphones or earbuds as there is no blocking of the noises around you but that’s fine. It felt like I had a speaker playing softly behind me while I was still able to hear all of the sounds around me in my home. When I was using them as my default speaker and microphone during a meeting, everyone was able to hear me just fine and with no distortion or garble.
They are lightweight with only a little bit of bulk in the stem and frame itself. They are prescription-ready and come with a card you can take to the optician so they can help adjust and fit them for you.
Will these be the be-all, end-all smart glasses, not sure but it is certainly a great start and as long as we keep progressing, the offering for these types of glasses can only continue to get better.

Decent Sound and Good Battery Life
on November 26, 2021
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
Pleasantly surprised by these earbuds. The sound is good with decent bass and crisp tones. I have adjusted the EQ on my phone to fine tune them a bit but overall, I am pleased with this pair of earbuds.
They comes with a charging cable which is USB-C and three sizes of ear tips. Finding out that the case can be charged wirelessly was a welcome surprise. It was not at evident on the box and, only when looking at the quick setup guide did I see an illustration for it.
Although I had to try the pairing process a couple of times before they connected, once I did, I have not had any issues since. Charging was quick and only took a little over an hour to get to full. So far, I have had great results and after a few hours on calls or listening to music, I have yet to see a need to charge them. The fit is snug with the ones that were installed when I got them. Also, even though these are not noise cancelling, there is very little interference from sounds around me.
The controls are straightforward. One tap on each side controls volume up or down, double for pause and play and three times to skip ahead or go back. Using the phone is just as easy with two taps to answer and hang up from either side.
Of course there are many options to choose from on the market, however, at this price point and with the ease of use, these are certainly worth a listen.

You shouldn’t have to settle for a watered-down version of your favorite iced coffee at home. By brewing at a lower temperature, preinfusing and offering the ability to customize to an extra strong taste, smooth, full-bodied coffee over ice that is never watered down. An automatic bean-to-cup machine, Dinamica offers “one-touch” beverages: espresso, long espresso, drip-style coffee, and a new feature - Over Ice, just select the strength to your liking. To deliver the freshest brew possible, the Dinamica’s revolutionary technology grinds the perfect amount of your favorite beans leaving no residual coffee in the brewing unit. Also, with an integrated Premium Adjustable Frother, you can create Italian classic cappuccino with a dryer milk foam texture or choose the Hot Milk setting for your latte. And cleanup is a snap, taking half the time of other machines - just pop out the drip tray, and drop it in the dishwasher.

Why Go Out for Coffee!
on November 14, 2021
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
This machine can do everything you need to make anything you can buy at the fancy coffee shops. Sure, there will certain specials that may require additional creativity at home but this machine will allow you to make those and do it really well!
Setup was quick and easy. Opened it up, put it on our counter and plugged it in. After doing the initial setup, we started experimenting with different types of brews. Ran a few cycles of water through the machine and then started the coffee. I have been using a dark roast bean. I like it for either a regular cup or coffee or, I increase the bean strength and have an espresso. Important to note that there is a way to adjust the grinding of the coffee but I have not to this point. I feel that the manufacturers settings are perfect.
There is also an area where you can use pre-ground coffee on top in the middle of the hopper. I tried it one time just to make sure it works and it was just fine. I prefer freshly ground but will occasionally use a Cuban or Italian Espresso blend to mix it up. In either case, you can choose Espresso, Espresso Longo or Long. I like stronger flavor and typically go for the Espresso Longo button and I’ve enjoyed every cup so far. When you get adventurous and want a cappuccino or latte, use the frother to steam your milk and add any of your favorite flavors.
I am really enjoying this machine for its ease of use, speed of heating up in the morning when I’m starting my meetings and, cleaning it has been simple as well. None of the parts with the exception of the drip tray grille so I don’t bother doing that. I simply put it all in the sink with warm water and mild soap and clean it all off with a sponge. Takes a few minutes at most.
This coffee maker is not inexpensive but if you are looking at similarly equipped machines, this is high on the list for functions, ease of use and quality brew. Good Luck and Enjoy!

Easy to Use and Great Relief
on November 11, 2021
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
My wife suffers from migraines and often times, her neck and upper back will hurt at the same time. When a migraine hits, we attach this to her upper back and neck area and it helps to relieve the symptoms a bit and making the migraine more tolerable, if that is possible. The heat setting is an awesome addition and provides a bit more comfort with two settings, low or high.
There are four electrodes that you can attach to various areas of your body to help you recover more quickly either from exercise or an injury. I’ve used them on my lower back and the back of my legs after doing yard work and it has provided tremendous relief.
It has a ton of programs already setup and also allows you to customize your own depending on your needs. Changing the settings of intensity is easy as well. It’s rechargeable with a USB-C connection to a USB adapter or on your computer. Takes about 4 hours to charge completely. The only thing I’ll need to pick up are some extra gel pads as I’m sure the ones that come with the unit won’t last too long with multiple users.
The muscle and nerve stimulation isn’t something I’ve looked into in the past but I’m glad I’ve started doing it. Whether to recover from something or just aid in relaxation, I’d recommend this to anyone.

Does a good job for the size
on November 8, 2021
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
The Core Innovations HD TV indoor antenna has good strength, doesn’t take up much space, and looks good on the shelf.
The first one I had didn’t work well and sounded like it was broken inside. I was able to get a replacement quickly and got it up and running right away. Using the coax connection on the back of my plasma TV, I plugged it in ran the antenna set up so that it could go out and search for stations. With the exception of CBS, which is known to be a weaker signal in my area, everything I was expecting was programmed in. There are multiple stations within each of the big networks which allow for alternate programming which is a nice bonus. The signal indicator on the front of the device helps you position it in the most appropriate place for the best result. The cords are very long and make it convenient to place it further from the TV if necessary.
Overall, it works as expected and looks good. If you are in need of making sure you get every possible station, you may need to look at larger or external antennas, for me, this is perfect.

Quick and Easy Coffee Hot or Cold
on October 16, 2021
Posted by: zaxdad
from Chicago Area
This single-serve coffee maker is very easy to use. It comes with a reusable cup and straw for when you make it over ice which has the measurement lines on it to ensure you make it right each time. The reusable gold filter is a plus and makes it easy to clean up and get ready for the next one.
There are two different buttons, one for hot and the other for iced. It heats up quickly and whether hot or cold, both come out pretty quick.
The overall design is nice and fits well on the counter without taking up too much space and since we have a lot of light blue in our kitchen, it matches perfectly.

This USB-C adapter has two HDMI ports, two USB 3.0, and two USB-C ports (one dedicated to power pass-thru).
It works well and provides the flexibility I need for my two monitors as well as a USB keyboard and external hard drive. It gets a little warm when charging but nothing out of the ordinary in comparison to others I have used previously.
In order to use two HDMI-connected monitors, it has you load their proprietary software called InstantView which asked me to allow it to record my screen. At first, I did not understand why but in order for it to mirror properly from the main screen to one of the ones you are extending to, this is necessary. Once connected, my screens worked well and were very crisp.

Yes, I have entered both 1099-B and DIV statements.

Enhance your tablet's productivity with this Google Pixel Slate keyboard. Ideal for getting work done, this keyboard instantly connects to your tablet and makes it easy to type on the full-size keys and an extra-large trackpad. This Google Pixel Slate keyboard makes it easy to switch between laptop and tablet modes and has a dedicated Google Assistant button for easy access to helpful functions.
Can you use the keyboard as a cover/case? Or is that not recommended?
Highly recommend using this as a cover. I would say that having a full case around it may also help protect the tablet further but you don’t have to have it.

Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse meets the next-gen HERO 25K sensor. Go pro with precise gameplay at 25,600 max DPI and zero smoothing, plus enhanced wireless performance. 10X the battery efficiency of previous generation sensors means up to 35 hours of gameplay with LIGHTSYNC RGB enabled. A comfortable design meets advanced button technology for supreme comfort and crisp, clean clicks. G703 LIGHTSPEED lets you play like the pros — and play to win.
Can you use the wireless mouse without programming it using the application? Because I’m interesting in online gaming but in the ps4 and I’m pretty sure you can’t download that application in a ps4. Is there a possibility I can use the mouse with a ps4?
I do not know about the PS4 use. I will say that on a pc / mac, you need to download the application in order to get the mouse to respond accordingly. Without the app, it was very sluggish and even with it, the responsiveness isn’t there until the machine fully boots and application starts.

Does the Screen Dim or black out for use in a bedroom at night?
Yes, it does dim but not enough for a bedroom in my opinion. Definitely better for a hallway or another room where people do not sleep.
