Superb Drone. Flying done right!
on April 28, 2024
Posted by: WesternSky
Starting off, this is my third drone ownership and my first one with FPV. For those readers that are unaware of what FPV stands for here is a direct quote from the internet. “FPV stands for "first person view" and it means that you can see what the drone sees in real time through a built-in video camera. This means you can fly the drone in bird's eye view, giving you an immersive and incredibly exciting flying experience”. This is obtainable through the use of head goggles.
I am always super nervous when it comes to both drone ownership and the power curve of learning it’s operation.
I dedicated time to the manual’s instruction and also by viewing videos online to become more familiar with the drone. The time that I used was well worth it and I highly recommend it for consumers that are beginners.
The Avata 2 drone is a game-changer for drone enthusiasts. It’s capable of aerial photography and videography alike. It has a super sleek ultra modern design, coupled with impressive flight capabilities. The Avata drone is a must-have for those enthusiasts looking for a superior product!
Right off the bat, this drone has propeller guards situated around the blades which can absorb bumps and soft crashes. To me this is life saver especially in the learning of flight techniques and should be loved by novices and skilled droners’.
I love the motion controller which is hand operated, and like everything else requires some practice in getting used to. My experience was a good one as I practiced with the controls and movements in an open field. I honestly did not test the goggles for any long lengths of time but for the time that I did have them on, they were amazing. It was amazing that the FPV encompasses you and thoroughly pulls you into the action. I will in the future revisit this review and add some comments should it be warranted.
There is a lot to learn with this drone such as acrobatic moves, flips and such. Personally I’m not into these types of maneuvers but the drone has this ability in its repertoire.
For those consumers that wear glasses, the goggles are adjustable. Not every prescription or high diopters are correctable but I imagine that most users will be happy with the results.
One of my favorite features is the “turtle” mode. Exactly what this does is a mode that tries to upright an upside down drone. It is a combination of air pulses that when activated can flip your drone right side up! Especially helpful if the drone is not within walking distance for example. Very cool!!!
Videos produced by the drones camera were in my testing super stable. Color was great and I had no complaints whatsoever.
I’m closing, there is a lot to learn with this drone and its superb capabilities. I do look forward to further experimentation with my DJI. Unfortunately I live in an are which is dense with buildings and high rises, so my playtime will have to wait until such time that I can get out to “dodge city” to further my experience. So far, I’m loving this drone, it amazing speeds, distances and on and on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

World class Espresso/Coffee Machine!
on April 6, 2024
Posted by: WesternSky
Super excited to update my present espresso/coffee machine which I have been using for years.
If you are one of the consumers that treks down to your local store for your coffee fix you are in for a pleasant surprise. This is a modern looking appliance that compared to my other espresso machines has an amazingly small countertop footprint and does so much more! Convenience in every way possible.
This is a world class espresso machine that grinds my favorite coffee bean brand to the texture of my choice, froths milk super quickly, and allows for the customization of my drink choices.
I personally grind my coffee beans at the middle setting which surprisingly turns out to be pretty fine. Both my wife and I love the awesome taste of the espresso and coffee this machine makes!
One feature which I love is the adjustable temperature setting. My household loves super hot beverages and this product does not disappoint as it has three temperature settings!!
The frothing process is very quick. In about a minutes worth of time, your milk is "super" hot and frothy (the way I like it). Note: Do not remove the steam wand from the milk before the frothing process is complete.
So far I'm very happy with this awesome product. It is beautifully made, makes awesome tasting espresso/coffee, grinds my favorite brand of beans and ultimately saves me money not going down to my local coffee shop. Also being able to customize your espresso with just the right grind, brew time and water level is quite pleasing. This is a great product. A WINNER! Highly recommended!!!!!

Rings my bell! Industry leader!
on March 15, 2024
Posted by: WesternSky
I was excited to replace my current doorbell camera, so when this product “Ring - Battery Doorbell Pro Smart Wi-Fi Video Doorbell - Battery-powered with Head-to-Toe HD+ Video - Satin Nickel” was received, I couldn’t wait to install it.
The Ring Doorbell is pure class! It is very well manufactured and comes with mounting hardware. In my particular case I was able to utilize the predrilled holes in my wall, which made the mounting process a snap! The product is capable of a “hard-wire” installation however I opted for battery use.
Upon charging the battery and downloading of the Ring app, I was ready to rock and roll. The Ring app is highly responsive and I encountered no quirks or hiccups! The app is easy to use and is very straightforward.
The Ring Doorbell has several customizable settings, some of which are sensitivity and zone.
The video quality is fine and my only concern is backlighting. My front door has an overhang, therefore my subject is in the shade and the area directly behind is full sunlight. Depending upon the day, the brightness, and cloud cover will dictate how well you can see the person in the video.
The consumer should be aware that you have to subscribe to “their” service that carries a monthly/yearly service charge. This service allows for the storage of your recordings.
Overall I am happy with this product. Ring continues to be the industry leader. Fantastic product and I’m very happy with its design, looks and operational capabilities.

Awesome Gaming Laptop without budget breaking.
on March 3, 2024
Posted by: WesternSky
I was very excited to receive this awesome gaming Dell Laptop described by the manufacturer as “Alienware - M 16 R2 QHD+ 240Hz with Intel Core Ultra 7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 1TB SSD”. Overall, this is a very decent gaming laptop, has awesome capabilities with a nice price point. As with all computers nowadays, it was preloaded with Microsoft's operating system which upon receipt needed to be updated. That's pretty much so standard and the update ran smoothly. The laptop is lightning fast and boot-up times are snappy and quite responsive. The laptop is slightly weighty and offers the user the feeling of a really solid build.
Overall performance of the laptop was great. Boot up time is fast, as this product meets the mark with a 1 TB SSD. Program launches were snappy and quick which is totally expected with a solid-state drive. Multitasking is superb as the computer uses an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Processor. There is no noticeable bog down during computing and it handled my word processing and Photoshop programs quite easily. The model has a customizable backlit RGB keyboard which I always enjoy, especially if I'm working in a dimly lit room. The overall feel of the keyboard was responsive, and the trackpad operations are smooth. Operational temperature of this laptop was acceptable. Temperatures did rise significantly with settings maxed out and fan noise was definitely noticeable. The screen is bright and beautiful, and screen colors really pop. The computer meets my expectations for everyday usage and is fast and responsive.
Playing some of my favorite games was an no brainer, as I experienced no real issues. My gaming experience was pleasant with no complaints. Screen colors are vibrant, no screen tearing at “my” desired settings. Frames per second were “pushed”, and the overall visual quality was still excellent. Sound quality is superb for a laptop, as it's just about the best that I have ever encountered so far (and I own quite a few laptops).
Pros:
Intel Core Ultra 7
240Hz
Semi-Cool running laptop.
Vibrant screen colors
NIVIDA GeForce RTX 4070
1 TB Solid State Drive

I'm definitely enjoying this product so far. The screen is bright and beautiful, and screen colors really pop. It is not the best that I have ever seen, but as far as the cost ratio, it certainly holds its own! The computer meets or exceeds my expectations for everyday usage and my gaming needs. It is fast and responsive and has a decent amount of storage. Furthermore, for my level of gaming, this laptop performed very well. That being said, I am recommending this fantastic computer. In the future, I will revisit this review with any updates if warranted. Purchase one and be happy!

Whether your mess is wet or dry, the Roomba Combo i5+ robot vacuum and mop can double up on cleaning tasks with one machine. From spilled crackers to every day shoe prints—this robot can handle it. Set it to vacuum only or vacuum & mop your hard floors by swapping in the Roomba Combo Bin.
Posted by: WesternSky
I have been a big fan of the Roomba family of vacuum products for many years. I currently own several robot vacuums so a comparison was quite easy for me. Enter the iRobot Roomba Combo i5+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop.
The product arrived extremely well packaged being double boxed. Unboxing and the setup process up was easy. After initially charging the and download of the applicable application, it was ready for use.
The vacuum is highly maneuverable and fairly quiet during the operational mode. I was pleased with how well it cleaned my floors as well as its moping capabilities. I have a 1750 square foot house (all tiled) and battery easily lasted for the entire cleaning process.
PROS:
Buttons are clearly marked.
Suction power is powerful.
Long battery life.

I do want to make some comments concerning the mopping function. Robots such as these are not going to mop up heavy mud or very large stains. If you enter your home with caked on mud and leave a heavy trail your robot will naturally disappoint. It does a great job with light duty cleaning, as light stains are easily mopped and cleaned.
All in all, I'm enjoying this vacuum. It's pretty good at picking up dirt during the first sweep of the floor. Cliff sensors ensure that the robot doesn’t fall over the step into my sunken living room.
I have a parrot who constantly sheds both small and large feathers and the robot had no problem in cleaning them. It also picks up long hair and parrot seeds with ease.
Worth mentioning is the fact that the robot is unable to map my entire house as I have a sunken living room. Research revealed that mapping an entire living space into a single “map” is only possible when all of the floors are the same height! I confirmed this fact with the manufacturer.
I would recommend that users allow the product to fully “map” your home. Once mapped, the Robot easily navigates around your rooms and obstacles.
In closing, this is a pretty great robot! It mapped the layout of my home quickly and efficiently. It leaves my rooms spotless and clean and its cleaning program is very efficient. This product definitely makes my recommended list.

The Bella Pro Series - Single Serve & 12-Cup Coffee Maker Combo is a wow product! This coffee maker brews the most flavorful cups of coffee. During my home use, I used ground coffee purchased from some major suppliers. Every brew was a winner, flavorful and a big smash in our home. We are true coffee drinkers and enjoyed this brewing machine! Two great features is that you can use k-cups and a reusable coffee filter.
The machine is well made and has a solid feel. A light touch to its sensitive controls triggers your machines immediate response.
I was happy with the fact that I can use a 7 inch high cup when using this appliance. I also loved the fact that you can brew carafes in 3 sizes ranging from 8, 10, or 12 ounces.
I also like the very large capacity water reservoir which is 61 ounces.
I also like the very large capacity water reservoir which is 61 ounces.
The coffee maker is modern looking and has a pretty small footprint. It goes well with my kitchen which is mostly stainless steel.
Overall, this product is well made and makes an amazing coffee. Coffee is smooth tasting and the brew temperature is just perfect for me.
In my opinion, this product is a winner. It seems very well made and brews a decent cup of coffee. This product is on my recommended list.

I just received this beautiful CASETiFY - Impact Case with MagSafe for my Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. I received “smiley” face pattern and I have to say it’s very eye catching.
All of the cutouts align perfectly and it has an indentation for the action button. The MagSafe works perfectly and provides good contact, although I prefer to charge my device via USBC port.
The case when upside down provides good grip on surfaces. Just the opposite when the phones is face up, as the grip is nonexistent. This isn’t a factor for me as I usually place my phone face down by habit. The body of the phone case (in the middle of each side) is fairly strong.
In closing, the grip on the side of the case is both comfortable and is easy to hold. It is not slippery by any means. So far I’m happy with this product. It works well with the MagSafe option and provides great contact. In one’s hand, it is comfortable and nonslip. This is a quality product and I am highly recommending this product to all.

Experience exceptional gaming desktop performance in an optimized chassis with an exclusive Alienware design that focuses on minimalism, thermal efficiency and quieter acoustics for all gamers.
Posted by: WesternSky
I own several gaming laptops and one gaming desktop computer. This is awesome Dell computer with a build of an Intel core i7 processor, 16 GIG of RAM, and a solid-state drive with a one terabyte capacity. I'm personally utilizing this machine for general things such as emailing, word processing, internet surfing and gaming. I find its performance to be stellar. This no-nonsense machine is very capable of handling programs very efficiently and gaming at levels which I like. I found that the performance was never bogged down or slow. Response was snappy and always quick, which includes boot up time.
The tower comes preloaded with the Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system. Upon boot up several updates were needed.
The product comes with a bare bones mouse and keyboard which worked well in tandem, however I did immediately swap them for better responding components. The unit is not supplied with any cables for a monitor hookup, nor any owners manual.
In my home use and testing of this product, I was quite pleased with the computer's performance. This is now my go-to computer for general computing and gaming. Boot up times are fast and there is enough RAM to handle my particular multi-tasking situations with ease. The unit ran well, and I really have no complaints to speak of.
One side of the tower has a plexiglass side and the internal components are highly visible. The side offers an array of color during its operation.
A note on gaming: Gamers should be pretty happy with this computers performance as it has 16 gigabytes of random access memory and employs the NVIDIA GeoForce 4060Ti graphics card. It’s not the top of the line graphics card but it’s still very good and its build is highly competitive with other products in the marketplace. I ran most of my games at pretty high settings and was quite pleased. I experienced no tearing and FPS were good. The product is not a top of the line model but its performance is great at its price point.
If you are in the market for a really nice all around computer, look no further than this model. This product is exactly as advertised with no hidden surprises! I was very happy with every aspect of it. Definitely recommended.

The Detect Pro robot vacuum is powered by 3 deep-cleaning technologies that enable the robot to maximize performance by sensing mess level, floor type, and edges & corners. DirtDetect sees even the hidden debris and automatically increases suction and cleaning passes to remove the mess on carpets and hardfloors. Now with NeverStuck technology, this robot will navigate around obstacles AND lift itself up and over thresholds and onto thick carpets. Not only can the robot deep clean, but you also do not have to worry about it getting stuck. Detect Pro finishes the cleaning mission every time and with each clean will empty itself into its bagless base that contains a HEPA Anti-Allergen Seal trapping dust & allergens inside. The odor neutralizer technology will also ensure the odor is trapped in the base for a fresher smelling home and making it the ultimate end to end solution for pet hair pick up.

I have been a big fan of the Shark family of vacuum products for quite a while. I currently own several robot vacuums so a comparison was quite easy for me. Enter the Shark Detect Pro Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum.
The product arrived extremely well packaged.
Unboxing and the setup process up was easy. There was approximately a 30 percent charge upon receipt. After initially charging the Shark and a quick download of an App, it was ready for use. A few clicks here and there and the unit was ready for use.

All in all, I'm enjoying this Shark vacuum. It's pretty good at picking up dirt during the first sweep of the floor. I found that my rooms were clean but not perfect. I did find some dirt close to some edges of my walls and around some table legs, but this was minor considering. Cliff sensors ensure that the Shark doesn’t fall over the step into my sunken living room. I have a parrot who constantly sheds both small and large feathers and the Shark had no problem in cleaning them. It also picks up long hair and parrot seeds with ease.
I’m curious as to why this product doesn’t employ 2 sweeper brushes and why the single sweeper brush rotates slowly? Other robots that I have used utilize two of them and they rotate at a much faster rate. Worth mentioning is the fact that the Shark can’t map my entire house as I have a sunken living room. Research revealed that mapping an entire living space is only possible when all of the floors are the same height! I confirmed this fact via a customer service phone call.
I would recommend that users allow the product to “map” their home. Once mapped, the
Shark easily navigates around your rooms and obstacles and only then will you have access to power settings and such. I was amazed that this product did not become stuck under my fish tank stand as my other vacuums do. The Shark easily adjusts its height and manages to free itself.

This is easily my most useful and utilized workplace item! I scan all my business and office receipts. You know it’s always the important ones that fade so fast and become unreadable! I’ve scanned important documents like bank statements and health records. Because of this little device, I hardly need to keep any hard copies of anything anymore! I’m just starting to set up my business and I’ve been able to eliminate most if not all of my hard copies of items and this product is a life saver and so very welcome.
The small size of this product makes it very portable and I can tote it around the office in a flash! It is lightweight and has a small footprint and I can place it just about anywhere my heart desires. The scanner is also lightning fast - it scans 30 pages per minute. It works flawlessly with my Mac and my PC. I used the software Epsom Scan Smart which works well and totally bug free. Snappy working software is a big plus for my office. I can now search all of my documents on my computer instead of thumbing through thousands of pages of documents in my filing cabinets.
Overall, I love this scanner! It works well, quickly scans two sides at once, is wireless, has a nice document feeder capable of 20 documents at a time, has great quality with respect to images captured, and on and on. Epson is my trusted go to brand and I’m loving this product!

The Acer Tablet is an absolute delight. This is my fist experience with a tablet and what a nice surprise. My whole family doesn't want to put it down! The processor is fast, doesn't get hot even after extended periods of use and does most everything my home computer does. The tablet keyboard is very responsive and has a great feel to it. So far battery life has been amazing. Lots of use with SKYPE, emails, and internet browsing and battery life indicates plenty of charge. Having a great battery life will make you very happy. The tablet is very lightweight and has a great color display. The Acer tablet is very simple to operate, which is another plus. I am totally satisfied and very happy to own this product. This is an overall great tablet. Buy one.

Not so dynamite
December 14, 2016
I have to honestly put some updates to my review of this item. One or two days after the posting of my review this tablet become inoperable. Acer customer service had me factory reset this tablet. That option did not solve the problem. I had to ship this tablet back to Acer for repair. Tablet was received back from repair and the tablet once again is is need of repair after 6 days of use. Tablet has a sluggish response time, does not respond to Google search normally, stumbles when switching programs, and the list goes on. Asked Acer to replace this detective unit, as their customer service wants me to send it in for repairs once again! This unit has no reliability and consumers should be very careful. What an inconvenience as this tablet has less than three weeks use on it and now needs another repair. My five star rating of this unit should be changed to one star. The only positive for this tablet is battery life. I am very, very disappointed with this unit.

Our home is a coffee drinkers paradise, so the receipt of the DeLonghi was highly anticipated and welcomed. This household consumes at least 16 cups of coffee per day, which does not include the consumption of Cuban Coffee (Turkish/Greek Coffee as others call it) which is currently brewed through non-conventional means. What is meant by that is that Cuban/Turkish/Greek Coffee is not made with a specialty "coffee maker".
The DeLonghi is designed for the brewing of a variety of coffee-based beverages such as American Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Lattes, Hot Chocolate, as well as Cuban/Turkish and Greek coffees. It's cappuccino system easily prepares perfectly frothed coffee, and its 24-hour programmable timer lets you make up to 10 cups of your favorite brew on your personalized schedule. Great news for those users that like the option of using and brewing specialized coffees with ESE pods, as this machines allows for the use of them.
The DeLonghi has a quite a few niceties (some of which I will mention here, and others later on in my review), such as auto shut-off which promotes safe operation. This feature will turn your machine off after 2 hours. The unit has water filtration which helps you achieve that perfect cup of coffee. Also standard with this unit is a cup warmer. NICE touch!
This unit has a removable water tank which allows for easy refilling for when making Espresso, Cappuccino, Cuban, and Greek/Turkish coffee. Just detach the water tank and fill it underneath your kitchen sink faucet. YES! It should be noted the the drip coffee maker has a separate water supply which is not removable. This means that you have to fill the water tank by adding water via a pull out assembly that harbors that coffee filter housing. Noteworthy is the fact that the DeLonghi does not have that "plastic smell " which is almost always present in new coffee makers. Thank Goodness! A word concerning the coffee filter. The unit comes with a permanent metal mesh filter, meaning that you can throw out your paper filters! No more fumbling at 6:00 am trying to separate a paper coffee filter from that multi-pack! There is a removable drip tray keeps your counter tops nice and clean.The drip tray has a hidden "float" and when the water level get too high, the "tip" of the float sticks out through the grill which alerts you to spill out the excess water. This is very cool. This unit also comes with a cup warming surface located on-top of the machine. This is real nice, as many coffee drinkers are located in cold climates and the extra hand warmth feels nice.
The Delonghi comes with a professional style filter holders, both small and large. The filter holder has a very tight fit when attached to the unit. This is a must, as your Espresso and Cappuccinos are brewed under pressure. You certainly don't want a loose fit when brewing your favorites. A word about brewing American Coffee. The DeLonghi has a setting 1- 4 cups which allows for the slow brewing of your coffee. This setting allows the water to slowly be dripped onto the coffee grounds making for stronger coffee. If you have never had a unit with this option, you are in for a treat as they really work. I am not going to provide a review as to the taste of the coffee, lattes, etc as every ones taste is personal. The DeLonghi worked as advertised, and there are no complaints here. Enjoy your coffee.

I would like to add a footnote to my review, as I originally stated that I was not going to comment on the taste of the brewed coffee. I really feel that it would be a disservice if I didn't comment on the DeLonghi's cappuccinos. My entire family is now so hooked on cappuccinos. The frothiness, the creaminess, and the overall flavor is absolutely amazing (even without the milk). Much better than store bought! DeLonghi has done a great job with this machine. So very happy to own this unit. Thanks.

Prep meals quickly with this Ninja Intelli-Sense system. A 1200W motor pulverizes ice cubes and vegetables and makes it easier to create everything from frozen drinks and fresh salsa to soups and sauces. Use the Auto-Spiralizer function on this Ninja Intelli-Sense system to turn zucchinis and other vegetables into healthy noodles.
It works for slice food? as zucchinis and carrots?
Hi There. This particular Ninja comes with an attachment called an auto-spiralizer. It will cut veggies as you mentioned into spiral shapes. Almost like spiral French fries, but not as thick. The Ninja is one amazing unit. Hope this helps you.

What webcam with adjustable focus do you have that would be compatible with windows 2000?
I know that this Webcam will run on Vista, Windows 7, Windows, 8 and Windows 10. I am not positive but if the Windows 2000 is somewhere between the range of the above operating systems it should work. You might also be able to contact Logitech.com for a more definitive answer. I do hope that this helps you.
