The mini-sized, mega-capable DJI Mini 3 Pro is just as powerful as it is portable. Weighing less than 249 g and with upgraded safety features, it's not only regulation-friendly, it's also the safest in its series. With a 1/1.3-inch sensor and top-tier features, it redefines what it means to fly Mini.

Professional Quality Drone.
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
This is my second drone as far as ownership is concerned. The mini 3 Pro by far is the best that I have ever owned. I'm always a little apprehensive when it comes to new drone ownership due to fear of wrecking one. After viewing videos which are available from the manufacturer, my fears waned quickly. Video instructions are fantastic, and I quickly learned the ins and outs of the drone's operation and its capabilities. There are three differing flight modes to choose from. C for cinematic mode, N for normal mode and S for sport mode. This drone is "light on its feet", highly maneuverable, fast, and super fun to fly. Set up was pretty quick and after an initial download of needed software and a battery charge, I was ready for the clear blue skies.
Like all of my drones, I did spend a fair amount of time reviewing the online manual for its usage. I would say that I'm on the more cautious side, so I wanted to be sure that I was able to handle this drone properly. The controls have a default setting (number 2) if you read the manual. Operation of the controls are easy, and the screen is brilliantly lit so it makes it easier to see it in direct sunlight.
What I love about this drone is its obstacle avoidance system. One very important note: Obstacle avoidance is "not" available in all flying modes, so I would highly suggest that you read up on and familiarize yourself with this topic. The drone is equipped with forward, backward, and downward dual-vision sensors which to help avoid obstacles. Better to be knowledgeable and avoid crashing your new drone, so read up please.
Flights were easy, smooth, and the general flight handling of the drone was uneventful. During my flights, I never experienced and communication failures. A few times during flight, I couldn’t see it anyone and yet it managed to stay connected. The battery is rated at about 34 minutes, and as a general rule that turned out to be quite accurate.
The drone weight comes in at 249 grams, which is under the weight requiring you to register the device with the FAA. The drone seems relatively well built; however, I would always suggest that most of your flights should be in a mode with obstacle avoidance enabled. The smoothest mode is the cinematic mode for obvious reasons.
Two of my favorite shooting modes are circle and rocket modes. The Mini 3 Pro has a f/1.7 aperture, takes 48 mega pixel photos, records videos in 4K/60 fps and can also slo-motion record. Video quality is awesome, colors were true to life and just breath-taking. I love the way the drone circles the subject matter while in the circle operation. You will have to experiment with your drone as to exactly what types of pictures or videos you wish to capture. Vertical video was fun to experiment with, as I never had a drone which was capable of this. I was unable to object track when in the vertical mode. I guess this is a limitation with its software/capabilities.
I was also very impressed with the image stabilization during video recording and picture taking. The playback quality of my videos was rock-steady, and pictures were always sharp and clear.
The drone comes with 1.2 GB of internal storage which is rather small. Therefore, I would suggest that the user install a Micro-SD card if you are interested in shooting videos, and for taking pictures. Video footage is amazing, and I can't wait to take this drone on vacation. My storage card is 128 GB and I have plenty of room for lots of videos and still pictures.
The Mini 3 Pro is amazing in all respects, and I have no real complaints. The drone is packed with so many quality features it's hard to mention them all. If you are looking for a world class drone look no further. This is an action-packed drone which has brought me nothing but great flying and photographic experiences. I'm looking forward to using this little baby a lot more in the future. One minor note: I would have liked to see an included carrying case as well as an extended battery as standard equipment.

From across the room or across the country, Sensi makes it easy for you to remotely control and schedule your home comfort - Anytime. Anywhere.

This Emerson product is very stylish. The thermostat is illuminated and there is no need for batteries. I installed this device by myself and the video instructions that Emerson provides are world class. They are all very easy to follow and provide great information. If your present air conditioners thermostat does not have a "C" wire, you will absolutely need to make some adjustments during the installation process. Luckily the videos provide all the answers and guidance that you need to self-install this thermostat. Installation in my home took less than 10 minutes, so if I could do it, you can do it too.
My favorite feature was the flexible scheduling and its remote access features. This according to the manufacturer can save you as much as 23 percent on your energy bill. In my own case, I have not owned the product long enough to see if my energy usage has changed. You can also monitor usage reports with respect to historical usage/runtimes and set up filter replacement reminders. The display also has a humidity readout.
This thermostat really does it all and I'm absolutely loving this product. It is very reasonably priced as compared to other models, and in fact it has more features than its competitors. I'm expecting years of trouble-free service and hope to change out a second thermostat in my home.

Protection at its best. Fantastic Product.
on June 29, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
Norton is a leader of anti-virus software and is a division of Norton-Life-Lock, so I'm expecting awesome results from this product. Installation of this Norton product was smooth, uncomplicated and quick via home internet connection.
The software is user friendly, and it continues to run well on my computer. Very important to me is the fact that the software doesn't slow down my computer or hog valuable memory or system resources. Some of the areas of protection that Norton affords the user is Dark Web Monitoring, Secure VPN, Cloud Back up, Password manager, Parental Controls, System Troubleshooter, System Restore, Drive Scrubber, Privacy, File Shredder, Disk Defragmentation, Start Up Optimizer, Ram Reclaimer and more. This is the most powerful software that I have ever used, and I have every confidence in it. All aspects of the software run extremely well, it integrated well with my operating system (Windows 11) and I'm very happy with its fast and seamless performance.
One's computer is protected in many ways, and real time protection is a must. One feature which was amazing was the Dark Web Scan. You can input your address, driver's license numbers, banking account information, credit card information, maiden name, and a few more and have the software scan the Dark Web. The software will generate results and data breaches for your review. In my personal case, I was amazed that several things were disclosed to me for which I had absolutely no knowledge of. I was alerted to the fact that my Adobe email and password was breached many years ago and I had no idea. Recommendations were to change passwords with immediacy.
Since the installation of this product, I feel very protected. Just knowing that my personal information and browsing is being safeguarded is a real nice feeling. I no longer worry about being a victim of a virus or ransomware and having the protection that Norton provides is definitely a mind pleaser. Having a VPN is also a great feature.
So far, I am very happy with this Norton product. I am pretty confident at the level of protection this software provides. Scans run very smoothly, I have no computer lag what-so-ever and everything runs normally. I'm confident that the software is able to catch phishing schemes, ransomware, and all sorts of virus attacks prior to one's computer becoming infected. Installation was quick and simple, and the software works as advertised. Nice product.

This is the second Canon printer that I have used and owned. I've had my other Canon printer for years and have never experienced a single paper-jam or problem, so I'm expecting my new printer to be trouble free and stellar. So far this Canon printer is great!
The Maxify printer is a pretty decent all-in-one printer. My printer is being exclusively being utilized for home printing. It has a pretty large paper capacity (250 sheets), offers super quick printing in both black/white and in color. It can be used in both home and office setting. It will print up to 24 pages per minute in the black and white mode and it also has double sided copies. The Maxify has large ink reservoirs, and the manufacturer boasts 6000-9000 B/W copies and 14,000-21,000 color copies.
The printer is pretty stylish and has a touch screen, and it also has a pretty small footprint. The functions are pretty easy to use and scroll to. What I love the most is the wireless printing. Setup was flawless with my Microsoft Surface Windows based desktop computer, my Asus laptop, as well as use with my iPhone 13 Pro. I had to download the printer drivers before I could utilize the product. All you do is just follow some easy instructions and you are ready to print wirelessly.
You also have scanning copying and faxing capabilities. I printed wirelessly and output results and quality were awesome. Clean prints and color charts were vibrant. The printer is relatively quiet during a print routine.
Pros:
****All-in one printer which copies, scans, prints and can fax.
****Fast and easy set up.
****Nice quality color and black and white prints.
****No compatibility problems with my Windows 10 and 11 operating system, and my IPhone 13 Pro.
****WIFI capable.
Cons:
**** None
Overall, I'm very happy with the printer. It's pretty quiet and handled all of my personal printing jobs with ease. This is an awesome printer for both home and office use. The Maxify performed very well in my test usage. I didn't experience any paper-jams during my daily use. The output quality of this printer is great, with crisp clean prints being the norm. I definitely recommend this printer for your everyday print jobs. I was quite pleased with this product, and you should be also!

Design meets function with the BESPOKE Cube Air Purification System by Samsung. This visually appealing, virtually silent Air Purification System traps large dust particles, helps remove unpleasant odors, and captures ultrafine dust, providing clean air for your home.
Posted by: WesternSky
This is my second venture into owning an air purifier product. I know a lot of consumers reading this review will be wondering, exactly how do you judge an air purifying product?
I live in a home which is approximately 1800 square feet. We are constantly going in and out of our home all day, we have a parrot, cook pretty frequently, and do quite a bit of baking.
The first thing that stuck me is the size of this product. It is pretty wide and has a large footprint. This alone told me that that amount of air that is going to be pushed by this unit is going to be pretty substantial. The noise level of this product is non-existent on the low settings and on the highest settings it still remained tolerable.
I have my unit located in my bedroom. I can honestly say that it removes that stale air smell as well as clothes odors. I keep my unit on low and it does an amazing job.
The unit has a set of small wheels on the bottom side. This definitely aided in the movement of the unit and its placement.
I found the App once download and saved to my phone was decent working. My air purifier was connected to my IPhone 13, and the paring and connection was relatively simple. You can control the product in two ways. Either control it directly from the product itself, or control it thru the Smart Things app. It is nice to be able to have this choice, as there are a lot of products on the market which are ONLY controllable via an app.

A safety note on this product. The front grill moves in and out according to what speed the unit is set to. On higher speeds, the grill is in the wide open position, and on the lower speeds the grill is more closed. If you have children, you should be careful when changing settings, as you want to ensure fingers or other objects don't become caught.
Thus far, since I have had this product, it has worked wonderfully. In closing, I'm pretty happy with this product. On low speeds the air purifier is nearly silent which is perfect for light sleepers. Having a product that is capable of removing a dust, particles, odors and other impurities from your breathable air is great. I am definitely loving this product.

Ideal for espresso-based drinks such as cappuccinos, cortados, and flat whites, the new Ember Cup, 6 oz, offers a premium coffee experience that does more than keep your coffee hot. Our smart mug allows you to set your preferred drinking temperature, so you can enjoy your expertly crafted hot drink —just the way you like it— from the first sip to the last drop. Ember Cup’s built-in battery maintains your precise drinking temperature for up to 1.5 hours or all day with the included charging coaster.
Posted by: WesternSky
I received this 6-ounce Ember mug a few days ago. I am a lover of coffee, love espresso and anything brewed which contains a coffee bean.
I am particularly fond of this gadget for several reasons. First and foremost, I like to read while I sip my coffee. To this end, my coffee never remains hot enough until I finish. I frequently lose track of time and my coffee always get cold. Enter the Ember mug and problem solved. Now I am able to have my coffee remain at a desired temperature from start to finish.
The product has an internal heating which keeps my coffee at the desired temperature from start to finish. How cool is that! You are able to set the temperature of the mug (via app) and your coffee will stay at that perfect drinking temperature. Having the ability to tweak the temperature setting via app is really nice.
The mug holds a decent amount of your favorite brew. The mug lacks a handle, however the size of the mug makes it just right to hold without one. It also has an led indicator which indicates charging levels. I found that the battery decreases in charge about 2 percent per minute during usage. I usually have about two cups of coffee and it had sufficient charge to operate during my drinking time.
The mug senses when you have finished drinking and automatically shuts down. That's a really nice feature and preserves battery life.
All in all, I found the Ember mug to be quite enjoyable. It managed to keep my brew at my desired drinking temperature and the app was found to be responsive. I thoroughly enjoying this product.

Sennheiser is a name you can trust. I've had nothing but praise for this set of earbuds.
These earbuds are wonderful. The sound is amazing, clear, crisp, with low base reproduction and super highs of treble. They produce a pleasing sound when I play my music and speak over my phone. Included with this product are several interchangeable silicone earbud tips which ensure you will find that "perfect fit". Wearing them for extended periods of time was quite comfortable. I used them while gardening and bicycling and they stayed put. They did not become loose.
Battery life as per the manufacturer is advertised at 7 hours. If you carry your bud's case, you get an additional 21 hours' worth of charge. So, if you take them along during a vacation for example, you are pretty much assured that you'll have sufficient charge to last. After several listening sessions, my earbuds still indicated a 100% charge, so I wouldn’t doubt the manufacturers battery statistics.
A few comments on sound quality. Booming base, and high treble sounds were the norm. My music was alive with vivid sounds. I've heard sounds in my favorite music that I have never heard before. These earbuds are absolutely the best that I have ever owned. I love these earbuds.
Pairing my IPhone 13 was a simple task, and it only took a few short seconds. A quick word on sound dropouts, NONE. I didn't experience any sound dropouts while being connected to my music. In fact, the range of these earbuds was awesome. Sixty feet plus and I was still connected.
The touch controls of these buds worked perfectly and were easy to learn and operate. My only negative was where the pairing control was the located. I find that when placing them in my ears, I have a tendency to press the pairing button by mistake, but I'm getting used to them. So, it was more of an annoyance in my own learning curve.

One surprising and awesome feature of this product is that it has wireless charging. How cool is that! I use my IPhone wireless charging pad, and it works perfectly.
I did find the Sennheiser apps performance once downloaded to my IPhone to be ho-hum. The app was buggy, gave conflicting verbal information and just plain failed to operate correctly. I tried downloading the app several times, tried updating the software and it continually hung up on the 60 percent marker. Once I finally managed to download it, the app performance was ugh! Sorry, but not worth the effort as far as the app was concerned.
This product has a 2-year warranty which is generous in these times. It's nice to see a manufacturer stands behind their product and gives you an extra year of coverage. Great!
All in all, I really like these earbuds. They are definitely comfortable; controls are easy to learn, they have an amazing sound which brings your music to life! These are high on my recommended list. Splurge a bit and purchase a set.

Mini but Mighty Printer.

Posted by: WesternSky

This is a super nice, pint-sized laser printer capable of handling even the most demanding print jobs. I was very impressed with the build of this compact printer, and it easily fit on my desk with its space saving design footprint.
Paper handling is advertised at an output bin of 100 sheets, and the input tray holds 150 sheets. Twenty-one pages per minute of print material is pretty fast. Printed output is super clean and smudge free. Set up was easy with the HP Smart app. I personally enjoyed mobile printing from my iPhone 13 Pro. Printing was seamless and easy. I personally didn't find any quirks.

I'm just making you aware that only HP ink/toner is supposedly usable with this product. This probably translates into the fact that the end user will not be able to use knock-off or generic ink replacements. This printer has front loading ink which is really convenient.
All in all, I found this printer to be pretty nifty, although it lacks the bells and whistles of more expensive printers. An ease to set up, and its compact size makes the ultimate placement on your furniture or desk a breeze. Very good quality print output is what you will get. Definitely enjoying this printer.

Heavenly Sleep. Awesome!

WOW, a mattress in a box! What will they think of next? I honestly didn't think a product such as a mattress packaged in a box; minus springs would offer body support. however, I was totally surprised. Perfection!
Unpacking took a few short minutes, as I was trying really hard as to not damage the mattress itself while cutting away the plastic. The mattress was really rolled up tight and when I got to a certain point in the unpackaging process, the mattress itself started to unfurl by itself!
I initially placed this item directly on top of my queen-sized mattress. I was expecting to wait several hours for the mattress to "relax" and unfurl, but as soon as I removed the wrapping the mattress flattened out immediately. No bends, no smell and no waiting. I was totally amazed. The unfurling reminded me of an elephant's truck when they curl and extend it. In a matter of seconds, the mattress was in its final resting position. The instructions indicated that you might have to wait up to 48 hours for the process to complete, but I guess I was lucky.
I initially laid down on the mattress and to be quite honest, it had enough firmness to satisfy me as my weight is around 238 pounds. I had no issues with this beauty. I was impressed from the get-go, so very comfortable. I live in South Florida, and I did not find the mattress to be on the "hot" side. It offers good support and comes with a 10-year warranty. It's nice to see a company stand by their products. Love it

Philips Norelco Shaver 9500 delivers superior closeness and personalized skin comfort with SenseIQ technology. Designed to prevent skin irritation, the 9500 features Pressure Guard Sensor which guides you to the the right pressure as you shave.
Posted by: WesternSky
from Florida
I've been using electric razors for approximately 50 years, so I consider myself an expert. I have owned every major brand on the market and I'm very pleased to say that this Philips razor is awesome.
This product offers superior closeness, can be used wet or dry, is powered by a lithium battery (with fast charge capabilities), a one touch button to quickly open and clean the razor, a pressure guard sensor, and some other great features.
The bottom line is that this product is capable of giving you a really, really close shave with no facial irritation. To me this is what it's all about and everything else is secondary. Don't get me wrong, as the razor has great features, but I judge how well a razor shaves and the results you wind up with. The comfort level is amazing, and it did not pull my facial hair when shaving as other razors tend to do. Run times are LONG and the digital display gives you a read-out of the percentage of the remaining battery. This razor is really on the quiet side duration operation and is probably one of the quietest razors that I have used.
The product has a nice comfortable feel in your hand while using. It feels well balanced and seems very well constructed. The shaving heads float and follow the contours of my face. Shaving near my nostril openings is always a challenge as I find it difficult to shave in this area and get good results. Enter the Philips 9500 which easily handled the challenge. Shaving the hair in this area was a lot easier with less shaving passes needed to do the job.
I'm very happy with this product as it performed flawlessly and offered up nothing but the best of shaves. This by far is the best razor that I have ever used in my life. Shaves are really close and in fact I have never ever experienced a closer shave. Using it wet or dry is a real plus. Philips has a winner on its hands!

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.

Concoct a variety of coffee-based beverages with this combination DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine.

By WesternSky
from Florida
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.

Philips Norelco Shaver 9500 delivers superior closeness and personalized skin comfort with SenseIQ technology. Designed to prevent skin irritation, the 9500 features Pressure Guard Sensor which guides you to the the right pressure as you shave.
How does this compare with Prestige models as far as quality and comfort of shave? What is the difference between shaver heads?
I personally own the 9500 model, and I can honestly say that this razor is giving me the closet and most irritation free shaves that I have ever experienced. I've been shaving for 50 plus years and have owned just about any razor on the market. This is really a superior product and I don't think you'll be disappointed with the results.
