Awesome sounding extremely portable large speaker
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I’m not a huge fan of Sony’s other big Bluetooth speakers they look more like giant PA speakers. When I first saw this speaker from Sony I honestly did not think it would be that big.
It’s design is very similar to smaller style Bluetooth speakers especially with the handle and shape of the actual speaker. So when I finally got it I was shocked how big it is.
It was massive compared to what I thought it would be but still extemely portable. And the sound is just great. No matter what I threw at it sounded great.
I was able to have it on in the backyard while my kids ran around and screamed outside all day. The battery life is fantastic and the sound is great.
If your looking for something to use outside near a pool or a bbq I cannot recommend anything other than this Sony speaker.

Best Sounding Earbuds With Innovative Features
on May 13, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
let me start off I hate most earbuds, I am more of a headphone guy. I know its blasphemy but the earbuds i typically use are just the regular Airpods because they seem to be the only ones that fit my ears well.
But I saw these and some of the features they have and wanted to give them a shot. These are extremely comfortable earbuds and they sound amazing. They sound just as good and sometime better than some of the headphones I have.
My favorite thing about them is how versatile they are because of their case. They are bluetooth eabuds with noise cancelling and their case can wireless charge, cool features but ones we have seen before. The biggest feature they have that I have never seen on any pair of earbuds before is the case can transmit audio to the headphones.
This is a game changer the amount of devices you can use this with now just expanded dramatically. the case even comes with a usb-c to 3.mm case so you can plug it in to non bluetooth device and get the audio on the ear buds.
I tried this out with the PS5 and you do lose out on being able to use the mice but it was still awesome being able to use these with the ps5.
The one downside i have with these earbuds is the voice quality when I have used them to have some phone conversations I have had people say that my voice will sometimes cut out.
besides that I cannot find many faults with these earbuds. They sound amazing and work so well with multiple devices.

Great Purifier For Bedrooms /Small Office
on May 7, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I use several purifiers in my house because we live in an area that is very dusty. We had an older much bigger purifier in my sons room but it never worked great so we were looking for something new.
at first I was worried because the purifier is so small, but my worries disappeared very quickly once we had the purifier going. The air in the room started smelling so much better, which with two young boys you know the room can be kind of stinky.
The controls are very easy and intuitive, I love this purifier and will probably get the bigger version of it for our bedroom.
Highly recommend.

Great For School and Home Business
on April 22, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
Printers are probably the most boring tech item you purchase. You typically just want something that will work for you.
I have always used HP Printers and love them but our last one was not great for a couple of specific reason and of no fault of the printer. The first was because we use the printer for school work for the kids and my wife's home business there are time we have to print a lot of pages and the previous printer was a feeder rather than a tray and we would run out of paper quickly and constantly have to reload it.
This new one has two trays that hold a ton of paper and we have to reload it less often than the other one.
The second issue this printer solves for us is the ink tank size. yes with HP+ we did not have an issue running out of ink with out other printer, but we did have to get new ink more often than with these new printer.
If you need something for a home business where you print a lot of pages this printer is absolutely perfect for that.
I did also want to note that I love HP+ it will not be for everyone as I feel it benefits heavy users more than light users of printers. But not having to think about ink or running out of ink at a crucial moment and having to try and run around finding ink for your printer especially during the pandemic has been incredibly helpful.
If you print a lot I recommend this printer and making sure you get HP+

New favorite vacuum
on April 15, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I know vacuums aren’t the coolest things in the world, but they are a necessity in our lives. Most people get a new vacuum and as long as it works they never think about it again.
This vacuum makes me feel that way not because I don’t care about my vacuum but because it works so well and actually feels good to use that I don’t ever have to think about another vacuum again.
My absolute favorite thing about this vacuum is that it is incredibly light. You would think this is a stick vacuum rather than a full one. I have other shark vacuums that are the same design but they are bigger and heavier. This one is so light and compact and works just as well if not better than the other vacuums.
If you are in the market for a new vacuum cleaner I would highly suggest this one. It’s light and compact for a full vacuum and you can detach it to use it like a stick vacuum to get into hard to reach places. It’s great and you won’t need to worry about another vacuum cleaner after getting this one.

Great Blender!!
on March 4, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I love Ninja products, They always work above and beyond what I expect from them and this Blender Food Processor is no different.
Everything we have tried to throw at the blender comes out great. My wife even made her own granola bars for our ids using the dough blade, and the blender had no problems churning the oats, honey, soynut butter. All those ingredients are so thick and hard to mix but the blender was able to handle it no problem.
Smoothies have come out great, and I swear that this blender is actually more quiet than my previous Ninja Blender.
I cant say enough good things about it. If you need a new blender I highly recommend this one.

Great Kettle!
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
its hard to really write a ton about this kettle, not because it doesn't work but because it just works so well.
Lets start by saying this is a pretty simple kettle, it has a digital display so you can set your water to the temperature you need, and it has a button to keep the water warm after you heat it up and that is it.
no extra fluff no wifi connection or app to use with it. you just press the button wait and bam hot water.
If you drink tea or coffee and are looking for a kettle to heat up your water I highly recommend this kettle. It looks great and works great and you cant ask for anything more from a kettle.

Good purifier with bad software
on January 10, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I have a couple of blue purifiers in my house and they work great I needed one for my living room area as lots of smoke/smells from the kitchen linger in the room. I got this purifier for that purpose and the actual purifier works great. It moves the air in the room very quickly.
My biggest gripe is with the software. You have to use the app on iPhone. And setup was easy enough all of the information it gives you is great. My problem is the app has crashed on me several times and there is no off setting on the purifier all you can do is set the fan at 0 which essentially turns the fan off but leaves the unit running.
This is also the case on the unit itself so off button you can just turn the fan off.
Because there is no off button I have accidentally left the a t the lowest setting just because I don’t move it over to 0 or the physical button reads my touch and extra time and goes from 0 to one since it is touch capacitive.
Overall the purifier is great and works well the software just needs some more work.

Gorgeous Screen On an Excellent Laptop
on January 4, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
Let me start with my one negative about this laptop. The fact that it is touch screen, and let me tell you why. The screen on this laptop is so good looking that I hate you using any of the touchscreen features because it smudges up the screen.
I typically do not watch much tv or movies on my laptop if I want to watch something on a smaller device I typically grab my tablet and watch there.
But ever since I got this laptop I have been watching more and more content on it because the screen is so big an vibrant.
The laptop has plenty of power to run any and all apps I throw its way, I did some very light gaming and the nvidia graphics card was able to handle it no problem. The laptop never felt that it got too hot and while it is a big bulkier than most laptops it does not feel too big.
Overall I love pretty much everything about this laptop, It looks great and performs just as well.
If you are looking for a do eveything laptop I highly recommend it.

The sound bar for those with small spaces or minimalistic tendencies. The compact Yamaha SR-C20 sound bar fits easily in whatever space is available and can be wall-mounted for even more possibilities. Setup is easy with a simple connection to your TV while Bluetooth lets you stream wirelessly from your mobile devices.

Powerful little soundbar
on December 6, 2020
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I was pleasantly surprised with the Yamaha soundbar. I was a bit worried when I first saw the size. It’s a pretty small soundbar but it packs a punch for its size.
The audio from it is very solid good clarity for dialog and it doesn’t distort at loud volumes.
It doesn’t come with a subwoofer so the bass does lack a bit of oomph. But for the size it sounds pretty good.
This one ended up being put in a bedroom and it doesn’t everything we need there.
It’s pretty basic and does not have many inputs so if your in need of a small sound bar for a bedroom I highly recommend this one.

How many speakers will it support?

I'm new to the world of AV receivers...

How many speakers will this support? I've got four(4) inside the house for surround sound, and two(2) on the porch. Will it support all six, in two zones?

Thanks for your help!
It will support two zones, but you need an exterior amp to power the speakers on the second zone.
