A Great Vacuum for a Lazy Person!
on October 10, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I love cordless vacuums. In the past, I have struggled to be able to vacuum my entire house on a single charge. I am so happy that the Shark Ion Multiflex ends my struggle. The unit comes with two batteries that should give up to 80 minutes of vacuuming time. I can actually vacuum my whole house and a vehicle on a single battery.
Which brings me to my next point: this vacuum is awesome for cleaning your car! The attachments allow you to get in hard to reach places, and being cordless means you don't have to worry about extension cords, or not having enough slack. I'm lazy, but the ease of using this vacuum on my car will ensure it is cleaned more regularly.
Finally, the "Flex" element to this vacuum is great. The joint in the middle of the unit allows you to easily get under low tables and couches This also allows the unit to take up less space and fit in smaller cabinets for storage.

Excellent Wireless Workout Earbuds
on October 8, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The BackBeat Fit 3100 wireless sport earbuds are great. I love that they have over-the-ear earpieces, as they stay on very well when running or working in the yard. The have a five hour play time, but then the case for the earbuds can recharge the,m up to two times, giving a total of 15 hours of playtime, which is a great amount if on a business trip.
As for the setup, they paired easily and sound great.

A Lot of Bass for a Little Package
on September 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
For its size, this is an amazing Bluetooth portable speaker. It packs an amazing bass punch. It has a six-hour battery life, allows you to make hands free calls with voice assistant functions, and is IPX5 water resistant. This makes it ultimate Frisbee golf (or other outdoor activity) companion. Adding music to my outdoor activities is great. It is easy to strap to my backpack, and plays as long as I need it to. Being able to answer calls and perform other action hands-free, also makes it a good companion speaker for doing car and home repairs, as I can take it to multiple work-sites easily.

A Great Monitor
on September 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This Dell IPS LED FHD monitor is great; while it has no major frills, it is a solid piece of tech. It has a small bezel around the monitor, meaning more of the size is dedicated to the actual, viewable screen.
It is a flicker-free display, meaning it is more comfortable for your eyes, especially after extended use. It works well, and my eyes didn’t feel as tired after my typical 16-hour Monday word days.

An Awesome Gaming Experience
on August 27, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I had no idea what I was missing playing video games (especially first-person shooters), until I started using my RIG 500 Pro HX headset. While I have a surround sound system at home, the quality and precision of this headset is amazing. My home theater system doesn’t even support Atmos, which sounds awesome.
Another reason I love this headset is that I can use them late at night without disturbing the rest of the family.
Finally, the noise cancelling and in-line audio dial are great. The noise cancelling helps when there is commotion going on in the house, but I need to hear the action and ensure my teammates can understand me. The in-line volume dial is great, as it is easy to access when I need to turn the headset volume up or down.
One last nice feature is that you can simply flip the mic up to mute it, making it easy to be absolutely sure you are on mute.

A Sleek Monitor That Looks Great in the Office
on August 27, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The HP 23f Display monitor is a sleek, beautiful display. I love the small bezel (the area surrounding the screen), as it makes the 23-inch screen feel bigger, and less imposing on my office style.
It features Freesync, which is great for gaming, as it ensures the lowest lag possible for better gameplay. I occasionally bring my Xbox to work with me, and it is great to play on this display.
It also includes both HDMI and VGA inputs, so it is even a good option for older computers.

Amazing Outdoor Sound System!
on August 15, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Sonos & Sonance Outdoor streaming system is just amazing. We have a pool in our backyard, and are often entertaining guests, or just hanging out in the backyard as a family. Needless to say, this often includes music. Previously, we just used a bluetooth portable speaker for music, which worked fine, but required that one of our phones be the dedicated “music” phone.
Now, with this setup, we have uninterrupted music (no more notification sounds!). Not only that, the speakers are amazing, providing full bodied sound. The sound quality is amazing, probably better than the premium system in my car.
While this is quite an expensive system, especially compared to a simple bluetooth speaker setup, it is well worth it if you can afford the price.

A Great Gaming Laptop
on July 12, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Dell G7 is a great laptop, suitable for just about anything, but really shines with gaming.
Since it has a solid-state drive, it has incredibly snappy startup times, and programs load quickly. The hard drive is 256GB, but if you need more storage space, you can always expand it with an SD card.
My favorite feature is having a backlit keyboard. I didn't really understand why anyone would want or need this feature, but now that I have it, I LOVE it. It makes working in dark rooms easy and convenient.
Gaming is also totally doable on this system, thanks to its Nvidia GeForce 1060 graphics card. The large air vents and dual fan system helps the laptop stay cool while playing graphically demanding games, but it can get a bit loud, although this is to be expected with any current generation gaming laptop.
The Waves MaxxAudio sound system is superb. I was very impressed with the clear sound that actually had some "umph" behind it.

Awesome Smart Bulbs!
on June 26, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Sengled Element Classic Smart LED bulbs are awesome. I love having control over my lights using just my voice, though I can also use the app to control the lights.
I also love that you can set a schedule for the lights. This is an especially good feature if you are going to be out of town, as you can give the appearance of being home.
If you have been considering getting some smart bulbs, these are quick and easy to setup and enjoy, even for the most novice of home automation users.

Works Well!
on June 11, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The TP-Link Kasa Cam is an easy to set up home camera solution. It can be used to monitor much of your household, from babies and puppies to the front door or gardens.
It allows you to view a live feed from your home, business, or anywhere else. It will give you alerts when motion is detected. I work in a workshop in my backyard, so I primarily use this to monitor my front door. Since it has two-way audio, I just keep the storm door locked, but UPS delivery people and the like can hear me and I can hear them. I'm able to have them wait while I run to the front door, preventing me from missing any more packages.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
 

I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?

It actually has a coaxial cable plug-in so that you can use any OTA antenna with it.You should be able to use the digital antenna you mentioned in your question. That said, you can get a new, Smart 4k TV for around $300-$450, so I would go that route unless you are on an extremely tight budget. 4k, plus Roku is a much better option in my opinion. If nothing else, Roku isn't going anywhere.

Can this be used if the phone the main account is tied to is not at home? IE: Could my wife ask it to play music from Google Play if I'm not there? I'm not asking about family accounts but if this will remember my account if my phone isn't around?

Yes, Google Home will work regardless of if the primary account holder is around. Great question!
