Comfy and great sound quality and price great.
on November 5, 2024
Posted by: redderr
I just got these JVC Nearphones HANP40TB, and I think they are really cool. First, they are super comfy. The earbuds are soft, and they don’t hurt my ears even when I wear them for a long time. I really like how they feel because sometimes other earbuds make my ears hurt, but these don’t.
The sound is very good too. The bass is strong and you can hear everything clearly. I listen to music a lot, and the sound quality is good. The music is loud enough, but not too loud that it hurts your ears. It also has noise-canceling, which is nice because when I'm outside, I can’t hear much noise from the street.
But, there is one thing I don’t like much. The battery doesn’t last very long. I have to charge them a lot, and sometimes it’s annoying because I want to listen to music, but they die quickly but acceptable.
Also, the touch controls can be a bit hard to use but I find this to be true for most of my earbuds that have touch built onto the devices. Like, sometimes I tap it to change a song, but it doesn’t work. I don’t know if it’s me or the headphones, but it’s a bit annoying.
Overall, I think they are good for the price. They are comfortable and the sound is nice, but the battery could be better. If you don’t mind charging them often, they are pretty good.

Great for the multiple usages

I just got this Bella PRO - MasterBlend 3-in-1 Prep System and I would like to talk about it. First of all, it’s like 3 things in 1. It’s a blender, a personal blender, and a food processor. So, I thought this was cool because I didn’t want to buy 3 different things for my kitchen.
The blender part is the one I use most. It’s good for making smoothies. I can put in fruits like bananas, strawberries, and ice, and it blends them really well. The blades inside are sharp and they crush the ice good. But sometimes, when I put in a lot of stuff, like too many frozen fruits, it takes a bit longer to blend. Also, if you don’t put enough liquid, it can get stuck and doesn’t blend as good. So, I learned I need to add enough water or juice.
Now, the personal blender is a bit smaller. This part is like a cup you can drink from right away. You blend your stuff and then just take the cup off the machine and drink from it. I really like this for making single smoothies in the morning before school. It’s easy, and I don’t have to clean too much.

The food processor is the part I didn’t know much about. I used it to chop some vegetables like onions and carrots. It worked okay. It cuts things fast, but I think you need to be careful because it can get messy. Also, sometimes the pieces aren’t all the same size, especially if you don’t cut the vegetables small before putting them in. But it’s good for making things like salsa or chopping stuff for salads.
One thing that’s not so good is cleaning. The parts with the blades, especially the blender and food processor, are hard to clean so I usually just put the parts in the dishwasher.

Another thing is the size. The machine takes up space on the counter.
I like the design though. It looks nice with the color. It’s not too heavy, and it feels strong when you hold it. But sometimes when I put the blender part on the base, I’m not sure if it’s on right because it doesn’t always click but that is me.
Overall, I think it’s a good product if you want a lot of stuff in one. It makes smoothies, chops veggies, and does all kinds of things efficiently and effectively.
Cleaning will always be a chore but worth it given the versatility regardless of space it takes up.

Pretty Expensive but worth it
on October 19, 2024
Posted by: redderr
While it looks large, to me the overal space consideration was not overtly big maybe because while tall, it is fairly narrow. It is expensive but is solidly beat for long time usage and the including cleaning features are fantastic from the milk cleaning set up to the bean hopper cleaning and yo the brewing itself.
KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine I am quite happy with it. The coffee it makes is very good, strong, and rich, just like in a coffee shop. The machine is simple to use, with clear buttons and settings for different types of coffee like espresso, cappuccino, and latte. The milk frother works well too, making nice, creamy foam for my cappuccino.
The machine is a bit big, so it takes up space on my counter but like I said it is tall and narrow so it’s worth it for the quality. One thing I don’t like is that it is a little loud when making coffee, especially when it grinds the beans. Also, cleaning the machine can be a bit tricky, but it’s not too bad once you get used to it and all parts are cleanable so a big plus.
I think it’s a good choice if you want good coffee at home and don’t mind a bigger machine.

detachable keyboard is fantastic to free the ipad
on October 4, 2024
Posted by: redderr
As a user of the Logitech Combo Touch for my iPad Pro 13-inch (M4 chip), I’ve been using this keyboard case extensively for both work and casual use. Here’s a detailed overview of my experience.
Design and Build Quality
The Combo Touch features a sleek and professional design that perfectly complements the iPad Pro. The case is sturdy yet lightweight, providing excellent protection without adding unnecessary bulk. The fabric cover feels premium and is resistant to scratches, while the back cover securely protects the device from drops. The case fits snugly around the iPad, ensuring that it doesn’t shift during use.
Keyboard and Trackpad
The detachable keyboard is one of the highlights of this product. The keys are well-spaced, responsive, and provide a satisfying tactile feedback, making typing feel comfortable and efficient. I’ve found it particularly beneficial for extended writing sessions, such as drafting emails or documents.
The integrated trackpad is a fantastic addition. It’s precise and supports multi-touch gestures, which enhance productivity significantly. Navigating through apps, scrolling, and selecting text feels natural and intuitive, similar to using a laptop.
Connectivity
The Combo Touch connects via the Smart Connector, which means no need for Bluetooth pairing or charging. This is a significant advantage, as it ensures a seamless connection every time I use it. The keyboard automatically powers on when attached, and it draws power directly from the iPad, so I never have to worry about battery life.
Versatility
One of my favorite features is the adjustable kickstand, which allows for multiple viewing angles. Whether I'm sketching, watching videos, or attending virtual meetings, I can easily find the perfect angle for my needs. The case also allows for easy access to all ports and buttons, so I never have to remove the iPad from the case.
Performance
The performance of the keyboard and trackpad has been excellent. I’ve experienced no lag or connectivity issues, and the keys respond quickly to my typing. The backlit keys are a thoughtful addition, making it easy to work in low-light conditions.
Protection and Durability
After using the Combo Touch for several months, I can confidently say that it offers robust protection. My iPad has survived a few accidental drops without any damage, thanks to the case’s reliable build. The materials used feel durable, and I appreciate the quality stitching along the edges.
Price Point
While the Combo Touch is on the higher end of the price spectrum for keyboard cases, I believe it offers great value considering its functionality and durability. It combines the features of a keyboard, trackpad, and protective case in one, which can potentially save you money compared to purchasing separate accessories.
Overall Impression
In conclusion, the Logitech Combo Touch for the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4 chip) has enhanced my iPad experience significantly. Its combination of a responsive keyboard, an intuitive trackpad, and protective features makes it an excellent investment for anyone who uses their iPad for productivity. I highly recommend it for students, professionals, or anyone looking to maximize their iPad's potential.

The installation kit is a wonder
on October 4, 2024
Posted by: redderr
I recently purchased the Insignia™ Glass Screen Protector for my iPad Air, and after using it for a few weeks, I feel ready to share my experience.
Installation
The installation process was straightforward. The package includes a cleaning kit with wipes and a dust removal sticker, which I found very helpful. I carefully followed the instructions, cleaning the screen thoroughly before applying the protector. It fit perfectly, aligning seamlessly with the edges of my iPad. The installation didn’t produce any bubbles, thanks to the easy application method, and I was pleasantly surprised at how clear the screen remained post-installation.
Clarity and Touch Sensitivity
One of the standout features of this screen protector is its clarity. The glass is incredibly clear, preserving the vibrant display of the iPad. Colors pop just as they did without the protector, and I haven’t noticed any distortion in the display quality. Additionally, the touch sensitivity is excellent; scrolling and tapping feel as responsive as before, which is crucial for my everyday usage, especially when drawing or taking notes.
Durability
After a few weeks of use, I can say that the durability is impressive. I’ve accidentally dropped my iPad a couple of times, and while I was worried about potential damage, the screen protector absorbed the impact well, showing no visible cracks or scratches. This gives me confidence that it will protect the screen from everyday wear and tear.
Anti-Fingerprint Coating
The anti-fingerprint coating works reasonably well. I do notice some smudges, but they’re much easier to clean off compared to other protectors I’ve used in the past. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth usually does the trick, keeping the screen looking clear and clean.
Price Point
Considering the quality and protection it offers, the price is quite reasonable. It's not the cheapest option out there, but given its performance and durability, I believe it offers good value for the money.
Overall Impression
Overall, the Insignia™ Glass Screen Protector for the iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4) has exceeded my expectations. It combines effective protection with clarity and touch sensitivity, making it a worthwhile investment for any iPad owner. If you're looking for a reliable screen protector that doesn’t compromise on display quality, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

Excellent video and audio quality
on September 26, 2024
Posted by: redderr
Overview
I recently installed the Swann EVO Wireless Video Doorbell & Chime, and I wanted to share my experience with this product. As someone who values security and convenience, I was eager to see if this doorbell would live up to its promises. After a week of usage, here are my thoughts on its performance, features, and overall usability.
Installation
The installation process was surprisingly straightforward. The package includes a mounting bracket, screws, and a detailed instruction manual. I was able to mount the doorbell on my front door within 30 minutes. The only tool I needed was a screwdriver. The doorbell is designed to be wire-free, which made it easy to position at the optimal height without any complicated wiring.
Design
The design of the EVO doorbell is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly with my home’s exterior. It has a durable construction and feels solid in hand. The camera is discreetly integrated, and the built-in chime is compact, making it an unobtrusive addition to my entryway.
Features
Video Quality: The 1080p HD video quality is impressive. Daytime clarity is sharp, and the night vision feature is equally effective, providing clear images in low light. I feel reassured knowing I can see who is at my door, regardless of the time.
Two-Way Audio: The two-way audio feature is a standout. I can communicate directly with visitors through my smartphone, which is particularly useful when I’m away from home. The audio quality is good, although there can be slight latency depending on the Wi-Fi connection.
Motion Detection: The motion detection settings are customizable. I can adjust the sensitivity, which helps prevent unnecessary alerts from passing cars or people walking by. I appreciate the option to receive notifications only for specific zones, ensuring I’m not bombarded with alerts.
Integration with Smart Home Devices: The EVO doorbell integrates well with my smart home system. I can connect it to my smart lights and security cameras, which adds an extra layer of security. It also works with voice assistants, allowing me to check the doorbell feed hands-free.
Cloud Storage: Swann offers cloud storage for recorded video clips, which is a nice feature, though I opted for the local storage option instead. The local storage provides peace of mind without the ongoing subscription cost.

Usability
Using the Swann EVO app has been a positive experience. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through settings and view live feeds. I appreciate the quick response time when accessing the video stream. The app also allows me to review recorded footage, which is beneficial for keeping track of deliveries or any unusual activity.
Performance
The battery life has been impressive so far. I’ve had it installed for a few weeks without needing to recharge it, even with regular use. The doorbell has remained connected to my Wi-Fi without any interruptions, and I’ve experienced no significant lag in the video feed.
Downsides
While my experience has been mostly positive, there are a couple of drawbacks to consider:
Wi-Fi Dependency: The performance heavily relies on Wi-Fi strength. If your signal is weak at the front door, you may experience connectivity issues.
Chime Volume: The chime volume could be a bit louder. I’ve had a few instances where I missed the chime because I was in another room with background noise.
Conclusion
Chime Volume: The chime volume could be a bit louder. I’ve had a few instances where I missed the chime because I was in another room with background noise.
Conclusion
Overall, the Swann EVO Wireless Video Doorbell & Chime has exceeded my expectations. Its combination of features, ease of use, and reliable performance make it a valuable addition to my home security setup. If you’re in the market for a video doorbell that offers solid functionality and a user-friendly experience, I highly recommend considering the Swann EVO. Just be mindful of your Wi-Fi signal strength to ensure optimal performance!

Limited protection but good grip
on August 19, 2024
Posted by: redderr
I recently purchased the Bellroy Leather iPhone Pro Max 15 Case, and while the case has garnered a reputation for its high-end design and premium materials, my experience with it has been somewhat mixed. Here’s a detailed review of the product, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses.
Design and Aesthetics:
The Bellroy Leather iPhone Pro Max 15 Case undoubtedly has an elegant and minimalist design. It fits the iPhone 15 Pro Max snugly, with precise cutouts for the camera, buttons, and charging port. The case's sleek profile adds a sophisticated touch to the phone without adding much bulk, which is ideal for those who appreciate a slim, streamlined look.
Material Quality:
This is where the case falls short of expectations. Although it's marketed as being made from leather, the material used in the Bellroy case does not feel or smell like traditional leather. The texture is noticeably synthetic, and it lacks the rich, tactile feel of genuine leather. Instead of the expected softness and pliability of leather, the material feels somewhat plasticky and rigid. Moreover, the characteristic leather aroma is absent, which is disappointing given the premium price point of the case.
Protection:
In terms of protection, the Bellroy Leather Case offers only minimal safeguarding for your iPhone 15 Pro Max. The case provides basic defense against scratches and minor bumps, but it does not offer substantial shock absorption. The edges are slightly raised to protect the screen and camera lenses, but if you're looking for a case that can withstand more serious impacts or drops, this might not be the best choice. It’s more suited for users who prioritize style over rugged protection.
Price:
At a higher price point compared to many other cases on the market, the Bellroy Leather iPhone Pro Max 15 Case feels like an expensive investment that doesn’t quite deliver on its promises. Given the synthetic nature of the material and the limited protective capabilities, the cost may not be justified for everyone. There are other cases available that offer better protection or more genuine leather options at a similar or lower price.
Overall Impression:
While the Bellroy Leather iPhone Pro Max 15 Case is visually appealing and maintains a sleek profile, it falls short in terms of material quality and protective functionality. The synthetic feel of the leather and the high cost might leave some users feeling underwhelmed. If you’re seeking a case that combines high-quality leather with robust protection, you might want to explore other options. For those who value aesthetics and a slim design over durability, it could still be worth considering, but it’s important to be aware of these trade-offs before making a purchase

Wifi problematic
on July 22, 2024
Posted by: redderr
Installation:
1. Complexity: Installing the lock was more challenging than anticipated. The instructions were overly technical, lacking in clarity, and did not account for common issues like door misalignment.
2. Tool Requirement: The installation required specialized tools beyond the standard screwdriver, which was inconvenient and added unexpected costs.
3. Fit Issues: The lock did not fit well into the existing door cutout, necessitating modifications that were not straightforward. This made the installation process longer and more frustrating.
Design and Build Quality:
1. Aesthetic Disappointment: While marketed as sleek and modern, the lock's actual appearance was underwhelming. The touchscreen keypad felt cheaply made and did not blend well with the door's aesthetics.
2. Build Fragility: Despite initial impressions of durability, the lock's construction felt flimsy upon closer inspection. Components like the lever and keypad showed signs of wear after only a few weeks of use.
Functionality:
1. Keypad Malfunction: The touchscreen keypad frequently malfunctioned, especially in humid or cold weather conditions. This made entering access codes unreliable and frustrating.
2. Unreliable Connectivity: Despite claims of stable Wi-Fi connectivity, the lock often disconnected from the app, rendering remote access unreliable. This issue persisted even after troubleshooting with customer support.
3. Battery Drain: The lock's battery life was disappointingly short, requiring frequent replacements. Low battery alerts were inconsistent, leading to unexpected lockouts.
User Experience:
1. Confusing Interface: Operating the lock via the app was cumbersome and unintuitive. Basic functions like adding or deleting user codes were buried in complex menus, making everyday use unnecessarily complicated.
2. Security Concerns: The lock's encryption standards were not clearly documented, raising concerns about data security. Limited updates from the manufacturer regarding security patches further exacerbated these worries.
Issues and Considerations:
1. High Price, Low Value: Despite its high price point, the lock failed to deliver on promised features and quality. Comparable smart locks offered better reliability and functionality at a lower cost.
2. Customer Support: Dealing with customer support for troubleshooting was a frustrating experience. Response times were slow, and solutions offered were often generic and ineffective.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the Yale Assure Lock - Smart Lock Wi-Fi Lever with Touchscreen Keypad fell short of expectations in multiple aspects. From challenging installation and disappointing build quality to unreliable functionality and poor customer support, the lock proved to be a regrettable investment. Potential buyers should consider alternative smart locks that offer better value and reliability for their home security needs.

Great grippy feel & superb protection without bulk

As an avid iPhone user always on the lookout for the perfect balance of style, protection, and functionality, I recently got my hands on the TORRAS-UPRO Ostand SSR AirBounce Case for the iPhone 15 Pro Max in Clear Black. Here’s my detailed review based on using it for the past few weeks.

The TORRAS-UPRO Ostand SSR AirBounce Case boasts a sleek and minimalist design that perfectly complements the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s aesthetics. The Clear Black color option is particularly attractive, offering a subtle tint that enhances the overall look of the phone without being overly flashy. The case is slim and lightweight, adding minimal bulk while providing ample protection.

Protection:
I’m quite impressed with the level of protection offered by the TORRAS-UPRO Ostand SSR AirBounce Case. The raised edges around the screen and camera lenses ensure that they remain well-protected when placed face down. The case fits snugly around the phone without being difficult to put on or take off, yet it feels secure enough that I don’t worry about the phone slipping out.

So fast and intuitive

Posted by: redderr
First it has a backlight keyboard with 3 settings which is beautiful. The screen is super bright and just needed it set to 50 percent even when outside. It has a microsd slot near the proprietary charging port. It has two usb c charging ports and I was able to charge and work with just that and never dipped below 90%. I was able to fully charge the laptop from 30% to 100% in under an hour using just the usb c port. Has full size usb port. Battery life without any charging, I obtained while having meetings, games, some lite graphics, web surfacing, watching web videos, and playing music in background…at about 15 -16 hours was down to 18%. Also some of my apps/programs like Norton 360 had difficulty installing and had to call the manufacturer to finish install. I believe because the processor is very new that some hiccups are to be expected. I love opening up device manager and seeing NEURAL PROCESSOR…feel like Star Trek Data is in the laptop. I mention all this because the sd slot nor backlight not mentioned in the included literature. The processor is lightning fast, the always on capability is great without sacrificing battery life. Boot up from a full power down is under 35 seconds. The weight/balance ratio makes it easy to carry and handle. The aluminum metal construction gives it a great tactile feel and surety of grip. Speakers are really beautiful sounding and fairly loud and discernible even at 100% volume. My only wish was for the screen to be detachable or it be foldable but otherwise fantastic.
Design and Build Quality: The Microsoft Surface Laptop 15" in Platinum combines a sleek design with robust build quality, creating an impressive first impression. The aluminum chassis feels premium and durable, with a smooth finish that resists fingerprints. The laptop is thin and lightweight, making it easy to carry around without compromising on sturdiness.
Display: The 15" PixelSense touch-screen display is a standout feature, offering vivid colors and sharp details. Whether watching movies, editing photos, or working on creative projects, the display's clarity and color accuracy enhance the overall experience. The touchscreen functionality is responsive, supporting precise interactions and gestures, which is particularly useful for artists and designers.
Performance: Equipped with the Snapdragon X Elite processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, the Surface Laptop delivers reliable performance across various tasks. From multitasking with multiple applications to handling intensive software like Adobe Creative Suite, the laptop performs smoothly without noticeable lag. The SSD ensures quick boot times and fast data access, enhancing productivity and workflow efficiency.
Microsoft Copilot Experience: The Microsoft Copilot feature enhances the Surface Laptop's usability by providing intelligent assistance and productivity tools.

For instance, Copilot intelligently suggested optimal times for meetings based on my calendar availability and even provided reminders to follow up on important tasks. Its voice recognition capabilities were impressive, accurately interpreting commands and queries, which streamlined my workflow. The integration of Microsoft 365 services further bolstered productivity, allowing seamless access to documents, emails, and collaborative tools.
Battery Life: The Surface Laptop's battery life is commendable, lasting up to 15-17 hours on a single charge under normal usage conditions. Throughout my workday, which involved web browsing, document editing, and occasional video streaming, the laptop consistently provided sufficient battery power without needing to recharge frequently. This longevity is beneficial for users who require a portable device capable of sustaining extended productivity sessions.
Keyboard and Trackpad: The keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience with well-spaced keys and satisfying key travel. It's backlit, making it convenient to type in low-light environments.

Meet Spotlight. A game-changing presentation remote. Spotlight allows you to simply navigate slides and interact with on-screen content from up to 100 feet away. The customizable timer sends vibration alerts directly to hand – and the advanced pointer system allows you to highlight and magnify areas of focus in pixel-perfect detail.

Simple packaging and very easy and quick setup once you download the software. The pointer is extremely slim and lightweight...just what you need from a presentation pointer.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
The pointer itself has very simplified interface, you have only three buttons at your disposal: a large "forward" in the middle; a smaller "back" arrow below it; and a third bullseye button that sits at the top of the slender wand.
Customization is what make this pointer so powerful in my opinion. The functionality of these buttons isn't fixed; you customize the actions they execute using the companion app. So, for example, where a quick press on the main button might move you on to the next slide, a longer hold can be set to launch the magnification feature; a raised hand gesture can trigger changes in volume.
A final neat touch is the haptic feedback, you can configure the Spotlight to vibrate at set times, which could be beneficial to pacing your presentation and your overall timing.
It's compatible with most of the presentation software you're likely to encounter including PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi and Apple Keynote.
I give it a solid 5 stars but the price needs to come down a bit for most users like myself to justify the premium price.

By JenJon
This has been the absolute worst electronic purchase ever! I am on my 3rd unit having 2 replacements sent to me from linksys as well as my 2nd range extender (the RE7000) that they have replaced as well. Invested 15-20 hours on the phone with foreign, yet pleasant enough, tech workers. I live in a square, 3,300 sf 2-story and cannot get consistent or far enough coverage. When paired with their extender to take advantage of the mumino technology, the internet fails to open at all on multiple devices, causing us to set up the extender under a different name and losing the purpose of why we bought in 1st place. After being refused to exchange into their new Velop product for all the problems, I ordered the Netgear Orbi yesterday and leaving the linksys brand forever ( I have purchased 9 routers from linksys in my lifetime for personal and rental homes ).
Beyond frustrated and out $500...

4 out of 5Great Robo Cleaner at a Good Price
By JBCTECH
I've been using robot vacuums for a few years and am a fan. The Samsung - POWERbot R7040 is my first experience with a next-generation model. There are great improvements in this one over my previous, 'bumper-car' versions: 1) Much better normal cleaning 2) option of a powerful turbo-cleaning mode 3) camera-aware movements which reduce the 'bumper-car' approach radically 4) options for manually controlling direction, spot cleaning, and repeat cleaning 5) an app that can control it from anywhere (and gives a diagram of where it went after a cycle) 6) a remote controller that can control it from anywhere in the home and manually direct it's path 7) a much more accessible, top-loading dirt collector that is easy to empty and clean.
It was very easy to set up and start in auto mode. For me, dialing in the added features took some time and trial and error. Better instructions on these features would be a big help. For instance, in manual mode, I would click the directional arrow and it would stop but not move in the desired direction. It took awhile to discover that it wasn't just a matter of clicking, but you have to click and hold the arrows in the direction you want it to go (duh). Once I discovered this, it worked very well (though the sensitivities of manually controlling it are best left for directing it into an adjoining room when you're in a hurry for it to find it's way there - and not in the mood to carry it). I'm also not yet clear on how well the Spot function works. This is too early of a review to address that.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with the way the POWERBot 7040 works. It is powerful, smart, simple and affordable!

Where is the map? The remote from anywhere?
June 17, 2017
In my use, the remote has about about a four foot range, even the manual verifies this.
I have used the app, where is the map of where it cleaned? I used the Android app.
The bumper car still lives in this unit, 4 foot by 30 foot hall, and my unit bounces off the side walls.
Manually controlling direction again limited by a four foot range of the remote.

Enjoy speedy Wi-Fi around your home with this NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 AC2350 R7500-100NAS router, which features 4 high-performance antennas and Beamforming+ technology for optimal wireless range. Dynamic QoS prioritization automatically adjusts bandwidth.
brick?
In addition to having several things running on the wifi, I have a brick wall within my home that I need the wifi to travel through. Will this get through brick, and what is the maximum range?
I have brick in and around the house and inside my brick garage which is about 60 feet from the Router I still get a signal that says connected at about 25mbps.
