Modern style, high quality, and best performance
on May 2, 2023
Posted by: Zaid
By far is the most efficient, elegant, modern, and smart all-in-one countertop oven. The design and build quality are amazing and this small oven performs as a full-size oven without a compromise. The size is perfect for my kitchen countertop and saved me a lot of space. The design looks nice and adds a great look to my kitchen countertop. My AirFryer and toaster had to be gone since this oven serves as a replacement for them. Built-in cook modes are helpful and convenient so all I need to do is to touch and select the mode that I want and that is all Cook. Modes are warm, reheat, toast, bagel, broil, roast, pizza, cookies, pastry, bake, and air fry. Before using the oven, I followed the first-use recommendation which is to operate the oven while empty on Air Fay mode for 20 minutes at 450 temp to ensure any protective substances are gone and the oven is safe to use. I baked some pastries and fried chicken breasts. The built-in modes set its temp and timer automatically and it turned out perfect cooking. bagels mode browns the top while keeping the inside soft. What amazes me is the instant heating as this oven does not need a preheat and reduces cook time noticeably. The self-presenting pan is really great feature. When I needed to check the cooking progress, I was looking through the window and also press to open the oven door and the pan popped out automatically. It is smartly designed to save hands from being touched and burned. The touchable control panel has a nice design and controls are very responsive. The cooking progress can be monitored by looking at the timer and also the colorful bar along the control panel that changes as the timer is counting down. I have another smart GE full-size oven that is already connected to the SmartHQ app so I added this new countertop oven to it and was able to fully control it from the app even the cavity light can be turned on/off through the app. Full control and notification are handy and gave me the convenience to preheat my food before heading home from work. In addition, the crumb tray is good to have and easy to pull out and clean it. I Couldn't be happier with this oven. I'm just in love with the oven, from the size to the easy operation, and controlling it through the app on my smartphone just makes it the best in this segment if not it is the ONLY to provide this plenty of features in such compact design. Very well designed and the quality is certainly GE. I have no doubt and have never been disappointed by GE products for a long owner of their products but this oven is my favorite and it is GE Profile which is the high-end product line.

Great build quality and powerful acceleration.
on April 28, 2023
Posted by: Zaid
Amazing e-bike from build quality to performance. First experience with an e-bike even though I have e-scooters but this e-bike provides such an enjoyable riding experience. Everything from unboxing to assembling it entirely took me around 90 minutes. The unboxing process was a bit long due to the well-thought-out packaging. The inside parts are well-packaged to protect them from being damaged during shipping. Consequently, it took me longer to remove the packaging materials and prepare a spacious area to being the assembly process. The e-bike came pre-assembled and all I needed to do is to charge the removable battery, attach the handlebar, screw the peddles and mirrors, and reflectors. Also, attach the storage bags and the small smartphone case in the center. The gearing and braking components are manufactured by Shimano that is a well-known company for its reliable and well-made parts. All the bolts, assembly components, and tools are included in the box. However, I used my tools just to speed up the assembly process. After completing the assembly and the e-bike became ready. I inflated the tires (Pneumatic) as they needed air (20-30 PSI) per the manual instruction. out of the box, my tires were at 10 PSI. I checked all the screws, bolts, velcros, lights, and brakes and oiled the chain. I simply followed the instruction manual and made sure to follow the safety tips. The overall look of the e-bike is attractive. It is like a motorcycle transformed into an e-bike. Build quality is phenomenal and controls are super easy to use, my hands programmed to use its controls from my first ride. Safety features such as the horn and turn signals are great and loud even when driving in a really busy noisy street. The seat feels comfortable and I could sit on it for more than an hour. Brakes are powerful and respond promptly. The suspension system is adjustable for more comfortable rides depending on the type of road. I adjusted it the way I felt more comfortable riding on a paved street with some bumps. Even on rough roads, the comfort was existing. The pedal assist modes are enjoyable, the 5 different modes provide a unique riding experience. I liked mode 3 the most. The info screen is bright and provides information about battery life, trip distance, and odometer. The Hover 1E-Mobility app on smartphones is intuitive and has a good and simple UI. Pairing is straightforward. It provides quick settings like those manual control you can do on the bike itself but it is quicker over the app. In addition to showing the map and unlocking the top speed to 28 mph different than the default 20 mph out of the box. The throttle with pedal assist works seamlessly and gives instant speed. The company included everything in the box even the anti-theft lock that comes in handy when going around and wanting to stop by for shopping. Headlight has three modes: halo, high and low beam. The tail light is neat and less light up sequentially and is visible to other drivers. The battery is designed to be charged onboard as well as detached using the included key. I like this freedom of charging and very convenient as I started removing the battery and taking it with me to the office and charging it until I get off work. My overall thought and experience. From quality, assembly, riding, and safety features I can say it is great and would give it 10 star if I could. I have no issue so far and I feel this will last forever if keep well-maintained. I couldn't be happier with the fantastic and smooth ride experience.

Very useful dash cam
on December 30, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
This Rexing V5C dash cam will replace the old Rexing dash cam that I have been using for four years. The moment I unboxed the camera and held it in my hands, I realized how lightweight and compact this version is; besides, it is modular, which is an excellent feature for adding cameras. Furthermore, the design is innovative, and the cabin camera connects via a mini USB port to the front cameras. The front camera is adjustable, which helped me adjust the lens view when I mounted it to the windshield. The front camera delivers a wide-angle 4K video recording while the cabin camera is 1080p with infrared. Unfortunately, the screen is not touchable, which is kind of awkward. I hope it had a touchscreen just to make screen navigation much more effortless. However, the bottom side of the camera is where all the controls are. There is no built-in battery, so it must be plugged in through the cigarette cable.
However, the setup is straightforward, and the camera boots up quickly. Recording with this dashcam is excellent, and the resolution is even better. Wifi connectivity is a hassle-free feature. Once enabled on the camera, I launched the Rexing Connect app on my iPhone. I ensured that my iPhone wifi was connected to the dash cam wifi network (wifi SSID and password appear on the camera screen when wifi is enabled). Few things I could do when connected to wifi. One is transferring the recorded files. Second, change the camera view and switch between photo and video modes. Also, I could preview the recorded clips in the app, but honestly, I used the app only to transfer my recorded clips. Also, the camera can be hooked up via USB to a PC to download the clips. The G sensor is adjustable to detect street bumps or vibrations that trigger the camera to record. However, the feature of 24 hours parking monitor is disabled unless the smart hardwire kit is purchased separately.
My thoughts are mixed. I liked the clarity of the camera, the ease of mounting it, the modular feature, and the smooth experience of the Rexing Connect app on the smartphone. Nevertheless, I wish it had a touchscreen and more options to connect the camera, like hardwiring, other than the cigarette cable adaptor. The cigarette cable is dangling across the infotainment system, which is ugly and completely obstructs my access to my infotainment screen. But the dash cam does the work, and the video recording is super clear and works flawlessly. The box comes with a cigarette cable adaptor, two mounting brackets, 3M adhesive pads, a removal tool, and a 64G SD card.

Reliable, super efficient, and high-quality all-in
on December 30, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
This Canon MAXIFY GX4020 all-in-one printer is meant to serve the purpose of fulfilling any printing job efficiently at a low cost of the printer. I'm super impressed by the quick setup and high-quality printing. Setup is like a breeze as the instruction is written on a single piece of paper that promotes me to scan the QR code and start from there. So I scanned the code, immediately was in setup mode, and followed instructions to fill the ink tank with the supplied ink bottles. Filling the ink is mess-free. Each color has a unique lip, so it goes into the ink tank; just flip each bottle upside down and let it fill the tank. Once all of the ink tanks were full, I was promoted to set up the wifi, which also can be done on the touch screen (2.7"), but I did everything through my iPhone, and within 20 minutes, the printer was up and running, what I liked about this printer. First, setup is super easy and does not require the user to be tech-savvy. Second, it has a reliable wifi connection, and my AirPrintng is fast, and the printing quality is super duper high. The third is an auto paper feeder feature for scanning and copying; it does not need to change the feeder source, which is fantastic. Note: the printer goes to sleep mode after a few minutes of inactivity for power saving, but this feature can be turned off from the printer setting, which makes sense because when I need to print anything, I don't have to go and wake it up by pressing the power button. I already have the Canon print app on my iPhone and iPad, so I just had to add the printer to the app and have access to check the ink level, print and scan from my phone, and print photos. This Canon MAXIFY GX4020 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One Color Printer, Copier, Scanner, and Fax is a must-have device. I'm super satisfied with its reliability and efficiency and ink cost saving. Besides, it comes with a single power cord and no power brick.

Well built and easy installation
on December 21, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
This InSinkerator Badger 5 replaces my ten years of the same brand and exact horsepower. I had no issues with my old one, except it is too loud when operated. Packaging is small and easy to recycle, so I appreciate that. Installation was a breeze and effortless. I twisted off the old one and put on the new one because I kept the old assembly, and that saved me time and effort. The installation and cleaning took me between 15-25 minutes which is fantastic. Build quality is excellent; it mounted smoothly, and no leak was observed. I ran the water and turned on the disposal for 3 minutes; everything looked good and functional. When I think of food disposal, the InSinkerator brand comes to my head immediately because I have been using it for over 15 years and have never had any issues. It is reliable to use. Because this new model is the exact one, I had ten years ago. However, I noticed that the noise level is less, which is what I looked for since my kitchen is small, and if someone watches tv in the living room, it makes it super hard to hear. I give five stars to this food disposal for quality, reliability, and easy installation. I highly recommend it to those looking for quality and reliability with long-lasting apparatus.

Excellent headset for virtual meetings.
on November 2, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
My initial impression was not so good when I unboxed it. It weighs like a feather and seems fragile to hold, but after I used it, it changed my thoughts, and I feel more confrontable using it, especially with virtual meetings that take between 1-3 hours. It has a sleek design, and the fabric mostly wraps the entire headset, giving it a comfortable feeling. I like the flippable mic; it makes the mute/unmute feature very accessible and convenient beside that, there is a small button on the mic that can be pressed to mute/unmute, which is just handy and well-thought-out. During my virtual meetings, I had no issues being heard by other speakers, and my voice was clear; thank you for the noise canceling. Multimedia controls are easy to use and remember. The headband is adjustable, and it fits my head comfortably. I have an average head size I have not felt any pressure during my hours of use. Single connectivity via Bluetooth with multiple devices is excellent. The headset switches to other devices quickly when media begins to play. My only drawback with this headset is the lacking of other connectivity modes. It has only Bluetooth, and I wish it had another method of connectivity, at least a 3.5 audio jack option, just in case the battery dies, so the cable is an option to use. Also, it does offer excellent quality when it comes to music, except it excels in calls. In addition, the app companion "Logi Tune" is very basic and does only a few options. However, I like its lightweight, it sounds clear and pairs to devices quickly, and it has never had any connectivity issues. Charging is fast via USB-C. My primary use of this headset is for virtual meetings, audiobooks, and listening to worship training. It is good to have a storage pouch included with the headset.

Excellent mirrorless camera incompact form factor
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
I am an amateur photographer who uses photography for work, outdoor activities, and vacation pictures. I have owned a DSLR camera from a different brand since 2018 and still use it to serve my need. However, this Nikon Z 30 mirrorless camera offers advanced features and easy utilization of much-needed features that are considered essential these days. Design: I like how Nikon designed it to be high-quality and lightweight; even when mounted on the tripod stand, it was comfortable to handhold. The 16-50mm lens is interchangeable, so more lenses can be used on this camera. The 3-inch touchscreen display is intuitive and well-designed. It is fully articulated and rotates to take selfies since the screen provides all the functions. It offers all the settings and functions that are handy at my fingertips. Physical buttons are well-placed and accessible with no issues. Except in selfie mode, Personally, I found that the touch screen worked best for taking photos after I enabled the autofocus /shutter, so I simply touched the screen to take a photo. This is well-thought-out.
There is no viewfinder, and I think it is in favor of the compact design and affordable mirrorless camera.
Recording a video enables a red lamp to light up, indicating the video mode is being operated. No SD card, which I expected considering the price, I purchased a Samsung Pro Plus Full-Size SDXC Card 256GB and inserted it into the camera, which is compatible with the camera specs, and went to setting to format, and the memory card was ready to use. After the battery was fully charged, I strapped the camera around my neck, turned the camera dial to Auto mode and autofocus was on, and started shooting photos. Autofocus can be changed to choose people/animals, people only or animals, etc. The autofocus uses eye tracking to track the face/ object and keeps it in the frame. This feature worked flawlessly, and I was amazed by the quality and excellent details of the photos, although I did not touch the photo and video settings. Later on the touch screen, I made a few changes to the picture settings by enabling fine images instead of normal and changing the video resolution to 4K at 30p, pictures were way better. Slow motion is enabled only when the video resolution is set to HD at 120 fps. The 21MP takes gorgeous pictures with blurred backgrounds. I love how the photos taken can be cropped and edited on board. The video is 4K is impressive, and the video recording continues until the memory card is full. Settings can be accessed through the touchscreen and the menu button on the camera body.
The built-in microphones provide outstanding audio quality even without using the external microphone. Because Nikon made and designed this camera mainly for vlogging, the creator kit by Nikon is a good value; it includes a tripod with a good grip for taking selfies that houses the Bluetooth remote control and storage for an SD card in the tripod in addition to microphone and cable. USB-C port for charging as well as transferring data to the computer. The camera can be charged via any power bank for continued use. The camera is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled. I downloaded Nikon SnapBridge and connected my iPhone to the camera via Wi-Fi to quickly transfer the captured media. Also, the app offers basic features like enabling GPS location on the photos and remote photographing. Note SnapBridge app would disconnect if the app runs in the background.

Great, sleek and intuitive control panel
on October 8, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
From its name Multiserve. this Braun coffee maker serves multiple coffee sizes options. It has a really nice and sleek looking. It is made of plastic and brushed stainless steel, which gives it an excellent style. It is Braun, so my expectations are always high because Braun is known for making high-quality and innovative products and does not disappoint me. The water reservoir is removable for easy water filling. The water reservoir has a charcoal filter for better water quality that is impurities, odors, and poor taste free. Also, it has a carrying handle. In addition to its removability feature, Braun also engineered it to have a handle for secure carrying, which I found pretty attractive and helpful. The Control panel is touch-enabled and very responsive. The multiserve dial has a classic and aesthetic design that is sturdy to use and offers well-illustrative serving options. Setting the clock, Auto On feature, and water hardness and altitude are straightforward. The clock also shows brewing freshness after the Coffee is brewed, so I can always know how fresh the Coffee is. The only missing feature in this Bruan machine is the warming period. The hotplate stays on for 2 hours only, and I found nothing in the user manual to extend it more than the default 2 hours duration. While the warm plate is on, a red led light stays on until it is wholly cooled down. The lever can be moved to select Coffee, DripStop, and Hort Water. When the lever is set on Coffee, the control panel intuitively lights up to highlight the function I can choose from; also, when on Water, the buttons change to have fewer options because no brewing is needed. Relatedly, buttons are turned off when the lever is set on DripStop, and only the power button flashes to indicate that pouring is closed. The Cup shelf is nicely placed for smaller cups. It folds down and seems sturdy. So, in my opinion, this coffee maker offers most of the features found in other brands in the market, but the most feature I like is the hot water dispenser. It allows me to make black tea or herbal tea in under 2 minutes without being flavored by coffee residues. Also, the glass carafe is high quality and does not spill at all. I'm happy with this Braun MutilServe coffee maker.

Low price but mighty!
on October 2, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
This Google Chromecast and TV replaces the long service of the original Google Chromecast that I use in my garage TV years ago. I have two of the 4K versions, so this Chromecast and TV has the identical design to its predecessor but not in 4K; it is in HD ONLY! This budget version offers the same great features as the 4K, except for the locked resolution to full HD (1080p) with HDR. The price is attractive for such a great media streaming device with a wide array of major streaming services that include the best. The design is the same with the same nice remote. The setup is super duper straightforward. Just plug the power cord and the HDMI cable into the TV, and the device starts to boot up immediately. Then, I used my iPhone to scan the QR code that took me to the Google Home app, where I started the setup, and the device was up and running in just 3 minutes. When the setup was complete, a new firmware update began, and everything was ready within 2-3 minutes. This Google Chromecast and TV transformed my TV into smart with its gorgeous UI and apps. Navigating the menu is smooth and fluid. Besides the streaming services the device offers, it has Google Cast, where I can cast movies with just one click from my smartphone. Google Assistant is very helpful for searching for content from the remote and controlling home smart devices linked to Google Home. I wish it had Dolby Vision, but for the price point, it is logical and well-priced, especially with its remote control that offers a great functionality experience.

Truly intelligent, powerful, and sleek robot vac
on September 25, 2022
Posted by: Zaid
First of all, I wonder why all the negative reviews about this robot vacuum. At least here, I can share my experience using this Neato D10 for three days compared to my other high-end brands that cost about the same. What I liked about this Neato robot vacuum was the design and quality I noticed the minute I unboxed it. Looks great and feels heavy. The charging dock is slim, so it does not take much space, and I did not need to use double-sided tape to stick to the baseboard. The robot returned to its charging dock, and the dock did not slide and remained firm. The cleaning brush is attached to the back of the charging dock magnetically, so it does not get lost, but I found it a hassle as I had to move the dock to take the brush, so I kept it in a safe place. It is equipped with a HEPA filter and powered by a strong battery that can run for 300 minutes.
The built-in speaker that announces the setup steps and any audible error/info is loud and clear. Buttons on the top are easy to use, the big one is for Start/Turn on and Turn off, one for audible prompts, and there are two LEDs, one for the battery indicator and one for the wifi. The setup was super easy using the MyNeato app on iPhone. I had to create an account to use the step-by-step instructions in the app that are easy to follow. Lunching the vacuum for the first time took almost 55 minutes to navigate and map my living room and the dining room. I have to say that the laser (LIDAR) navigation and mapping is much better than the camera as its detection was way better even in the dark. I had experienced and gone through many issues with a vacuum with camera navigation, especially during dim light and even constant bumping into the furniture. This Neato worked flawlessly, and from its first run, it avoided bumping into the furniture only a few times which is impressive. However, I made sure no cables were on the floor to avoid getting stuck. The vacuum is powerful enough to manage its way out of the narrow areas, and I had no issues like getting stuck or mismapping the area. It offers three cleaning modes eco/turbo/max. I ran it on max mode, and the cleaning outcomes were marvelous; even those tiny pieces of nuts were sucked. It performs for up to 300 minutes; thank you for the big battery. Like any other vacuum, it returns to its charging dock to recharge and continue its cleaning session if the battery is about to die.
Noise is acceptable, even on max mode. Lunching and returning to its charging dock is smooth and finds its way without bumping or getting lost. The Neato D10 has a D-shaped form factor that looks great, especially with the aluminum-like color that gives it a premium look. My other three robot vacuums at home have the self-emptying feature, but this Neato does not. Nevertheless, its D-shaped gives it more room for a bigger dustbin than my other brands.
But what I did not like about this Neato D10 was that the app is glitchy and gets unresponsive several times. When I tested the "Locate" feature, I had the locating sound beeping, but I could not turn it off in the app until I turned off the vacuum completely. I deleted the app and reinstalled it again, but it seemed hopeless. The vacuum is excellent, but its app is annoying. Other features in-app such as history, creating routines, editing maps, and more maps, are functional with some unresponsiveness here and there. The No-Go zone feature worked as meant to be, and my vacuum never reached my No-Go areas as I selected. I feel this Neato D10 is underrated since I did not experience any issues except that its app needs some work, and I'm sure the company will pay attention to this and fix it in their future firmware.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had to wait at least 5 days until I submit my review. Speaking of battery I can say after fully charge cycle it's still 100% and it is a day number 5 working 24 hours. Wireless and Motion deretction is smart that can give a notification by sending an email to inform there is something moving close to the camera, resolution is very good as I tested it day and night time and also its smartphone based-app is so helpful and takes you through setup and configuration with several options like rename you camera, turn alarm on and iPhone touch id sign in feature. At night you can adjust camera brightness for a better picture clarity. I'm a 100% satisfied that I can monitor my mouse frind and back remotley. I recommend this security camera to a friend.

Improve your audio experience with this Samsung three-channel soundbar. This unit, which has a built-in subwoofer, channels high-resolution full-spectrum sound and eliminates the need for an extra bass speaker. Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.
 

Regardless of the fact that it has one built in, will this wirelessly pair with a Samsung wireless subwoofer?

If you happen to have an older version with seperate subwoifer you can try to choose wifi option on your new hi res sounbar and press the small buttom on the back of the subwoofer and see if the blue led blink and turns solid means it's connected.
