Our new In-Home Barista
on December 3, 2019
Posted by: cjviscito
from Dallas, TX
My wife has had her eye on a Jura coffee machine for a while now, and after picking up a fancy drop coffee machine, Nespresso machine and pod-coffee system, we decided to bite the bullet and simplify down to this monster to replace our espresso and pod-coffee system.
When we first opened the box, it was pretty intimidating. The Jura E6 is much larger than other coffee machines or systems we've had in the past. The instructions were fairly extensive and it was a little overwhelming at first. But once we got started, it was easy to get going and set up the filter and easy to use.
The E6 comes with a built-in grinder on the top of the unit so you can use freshly ground coffee grinds every brew. It's worth noting though, that putting coffee beans in is much easier than trying to get them out, so if you live in a setting where you drink regular and someone else drinks decaf, someone will have to wait until the beans you poured into the top run out.
Once you have everything set up, you can choose between regular coffee, espresso, cappuccino, or hot water for tea. One of the most attractive features in the E6 was, we didn't have to use coffee filters anymore. The machine brews single cups of coffee or double shots if you have smaller espresso cups and it doesn't require replacing a coffee filter after each use which is lovely. It's recommended that you remove the bottom drip tray after a few cups of coffee because the E6 will dump the used coffee grounds into a holding box that is attached to the drip tray.
The E6 also comes with a hard water test stripe to test out your water. We have harder water here, so we used the E6's water filter to help clean the water out. You can also use your own filtered water to fill the attached tank. Unlike the Jura unit at my work, the E6 doesn't have an option to attach to a water line, which is fine for us, but if you're in a fancier set up, it's something to be aware of.
The unit will also automatically clean when powering on and right before powering off - so don't freak out if you've brewed some coffee and then hear it run some water after a bit. We leave a coffee cup under the spouts so we don't have to remove the bottom drip tray every time.
There's also an optional Bluetooth accessory you can pick up for an extra cost, they're not sold at Best Buy, which will enable you to operate your E6 from a mobile app. The unit has to be on for it to work, but you can build custom recipes in the app and queue them up.
At a $1400 price, this is certainly an investment. However, if you factor out cost-per-use, cost of filters, cost of going to a coffee shop for a fancy cup of coffee, the E6 will have a lower total cost of ownership over the long term. This was definitely an indulgent play on our part, but this thing brews one helluva cup of coffee! If you're a coffee lover and you want to have something that is easy to use, own and makes a great cup, then put this on your Christmas list!

Great Device but Inconsistent App
on November 19, 2019
Posted by: cjviscito
from Dallas, TX
I hate waking up to my alarm on my iPhone. I have to use the loud, angry ones to get me up and moving, which I attribute to having 2 kids and suffering from a lack of proper sleep over the past decade.
I've used the Philips band to help try and reduce my snoring, so when I saw they created a light that would simulate waking up to a natural sunrise, I was all over it.
Let me just say - I love the light. It's got everything you need. My main gripe is with the app that you have to download to configure it. I hate installing one-off apps on my phone that don't serve more than a single device.
The app first off requested a whole host of permissions around personal data and while I appreciate it being upfront, some of it seemed a little creepy. When I declined some of the permissions, I noticed that many of the connected features on the light wouldn't work.
You need to use the app to create an alarm scheme, which thankfully you can do without signing over access to all of your data. I used the natural sunrise setting and made sure it would wake me up at 5 am. The light starts warming up around 4:30 - 4:45 am and I love that I wake up right around 5 am not feeling bleary-eyed.
You can also use the touch screen controls on the light to control it and use it like a regular light. I also experienced issues with the app even connecting to the light, even though they were both on the same WiFi network. The lamp said it was connected and so did my phone, but it would regularly say it couldn't find my lamp.
Once the app manages to connect, you can also control the FM radio option and also listen to live broadcast radio if you want. The app can also track your sleeping pattern if you open up the option and let the device track your data. If you're concered about privacy, you can still use the base functionality of alarm, lighting control and radio with the app.
If you need a light to help wake yourself up, then this might be what you're looking for.

Philips SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band: Reduce snoring and improve the quality of your sleep with this Philips SmartSleep snoring relief band. The integrated sensor detects whenever you are sleeping on your back and lightly vibrates to spur you to turn to the side and stop snoring. This Philips SmartSleep snoring relief band incorporates smart features that adjust vibration levels and patterns based on your responses during sleep.
Posted by: cjviscito

I snore, especially in Texas where we have allergies all year round. When I saw this sleep aid band, I was interested in trying it, especially since my wife snores too, I thought we could both try it out.
First off - there's no app you need to download to control this. That being said, there's no integration with Apple Health or anything like that. The band itself is what controls, stores, and shows your results.
The premise is interesting. The device will vibrate as a way to nudge you off your back and on to your side during the night. This can be problematic if you're a back sleeper primarily, like I am. I'm more comfortable on my back than on my side. The device knows if you're on your back or side, so I assume there's some kind of gyro-mechanism that indicates that.
If you don't respond, the vibrations will increase in intensity until you move. Several times wearing this, the vibrations actually woke me up, so I guess I really didn't want to move. Over time, it became more natural, but at first, it was an odd sensation.
My wife tried it too with better results than me. But she's also a side-sleeper, so I think she's more of the target audience for this. I did notice that I felt a bit better after sleeping several nights wearing the band, so I guess I was getting better quality of sleep. At least I noticed that my throat wasn't bone dry and raspy in the morning, so that's a plus.

Lots of Promise, but Not Quite Right
on October 23, 2019
Posted by: cjviscito
from Dallas, TX
My wife and I saw this and wanted to try and it out. The promise of being able to mix faster by using the heating element to make the butter softer, and fluffier was really cool. Sadly, it seems like there's not a lot of there, there.
First and foremost, the mixer is loud, especially with the heating option turned on. It’s heavier than our current Kitchen Aid hand mixer so it was a little awkward at times to control. She said it felt very wobbly, like the center of balance was off.
The speed button was in an awkward place, so getting to speed 1 wasn’t really doable. It kept flipping it to 2-3 and trying to adjust down back to 1.
Softening butter was ok. If you don’t have time to leave it out it works in a pinch. We followed the instructions, but they didn't really work with the recipe we were making and the butter actually clumped up inside the beaters. We had to let it sit and get much hotter to get things going. I wasn’t overly impressed but my cookies turned out fine.
It’s an ok hand mixer. It gets the job done.

Solid Kettle Bell with some Drawbacks
on October 22, 2019
Posted by: cjviscito
from Dallas, TX
My wife and I have a collection of kettle bells that we use at home during our exercise routines. Although they're basic kettle bells, we started to run into the issue of space. That was one of the reasons I was interested in trying out the JaxJox Kettle Bell Connect. The promise of being able to replace all our existing individual kettle bells was promising since space at home was becoming a premium.
First thing out of the box is a warning - make sure that you let the Kettle Bell is done adjusting weight before trying to pull it off the base. What is cool about the Kettle Bell Connect is that by using a series of plate weights, you're able to set a customized weight for your workout.
Fair warning here - kettle bell workouts can hurt you if you're not familiar with them, so I'd recommend being cool with kettle bell workouts before investing in a home solution.
Once I got the weights, unit and base out of the box, I set to charge it up. While it charged, I downloaded the JaxJox iOS app and synced my kettle bell. One of the cool features here is the integration with Apple Heath. I use my Apple Watch to track and measure my exercises, so I'm glad that I can use the kettle bell, do some workouts, and I get the credit for it in the JaxJox app as well as the Apple Activity / Health apps.
But you're probably wondering why I rated this as a 3 star item if it sounds like I really like it - well, here are my concerns:
- The price, at $300, this thing isn't cheap. If space is your concern, then it might be worth it to you, but if space isn't a concern, then I'd say stick with traditional, analog kettle bells.
- The App itself is a bit clunky. Several times, it just spun at "syncing data" when I tried to open it. I ended up just abandoning it, starting my workout in the Apple Watch and going from there. I get the credit in my Apple Activity rings, so that's cool.
- Some of the videos were very basic - if you're new to kettle bell workouts, they might work for you, but again, I'm not sure who'd be jumping into a high-end $300 option for their first go-around.
- Because this is a kettle bell, you need to be cognizant of where you're exercising. My house is mostly tile, so I'm relegated to the rooms that have carpet - I can't imagine dropping or putting this thing down roughly and cracking or breaking tile.
- The unit itself is a bit bulky, owning to the fact that the weights sit up inside the unit as you exercise. This can be a bit overkill in size if you're only doing a workout with, say, a 2 pound weight.
If you're a home fitness junkie and love kettle bells and you have some extra cash and you have a space constraint, then I'd say go for it. If not, then you might be better off with something less fancy to get you started. I would recommend this to anyone who liked to use kettle bells for at home workouts.

I tend to sit a lot at work, even though I have a standing desk and I noticed that my shoulders were hunching over and I was slouching more.
I saw this and thought it would be a fun way to improve my posture. I've used it for about 10 days now and here's what I like and what I don't:
Pros:
* Small, lightweight and comes with adhesives (haven't had to change mine yet)
* App is easy to use
* Travel case and USB charging cable are nice to have
* Tracking mode lets you see how your posture has been during the day
* Training mode will cause the unit to vibrate if you slouch for 4 continuous seconds, more time is added so you gradually go for longer periods of time.

Cons:
* No integration with Apple Health - it would be nice to connect it with my Health app to get all of my health and fitness info in one place.
* Pairing on Day 1 was a bit of a challenge - the app said the device couldn't be found and the unit itself wouldn't turn on - putting it on the charger seemed to reset whatever loop it was stuck in.
* No power puck - like most gadgets nowadays, you get a cord to plug in, but now puck to connect to the wall, so they assume you have spare pucks or USB-A ports somewhere that aren't being used.

All in all, I like it and I genuinely like new tech that helps me improve my quality of life by not being in the way. So far, I'm digging this thing and I'm noticing that I'm self correcting my posture more now than I did before I wore it. So at least, I'm more aware now of when my posture needs to be corrected.

Keep your iPhone XS/X functional with this Speck Presidio Pro case. The exterior is made from polycarbonate to withstand the effects of wear and tear, and its antimicrobial treatment prevents bacteria from growing on it. The raised bezel on this Speck Presidio Pro case protects your phone's screen if it lands facedown.
Posted by: cjviscito
from Dallas, TX
In the past, I've used cases for my iPhones that focused on a adding a minimal amount of bulk to the phone. Sometimes the cases work, but minimalist cases tend to need to be replaced after an accidental drop, even from minor heights, like my desk.
A buddy of mine had a Speck case and he loved it. It hit all the right notes for him: 1) Offered a good amount of protection, 2) Didn't clash with the aesthetic look of the phone, and 3) Didn't cost an arm and a leg.
So when I saw the Speck Presidio Pro case, I thought I'd give it a shot. So far, this case has been nearly perfect for my iPhones XS.
It does add a fair amount of bulk to the phone, more than I was initially used to, but I got used to the new weight / heft pretty quickly. What I like about this case is that it's clean - smooth back, nothing fancy or crazy wild design. It's a clean, professional looking case. The case itself at first feel like it's a softer case, but then when I went to put my phone into it, I realized how rigid and tough the case was.
My only real gripe, and it's a total first world problem, is the amount of dust the case retains around the edges of the screen. Because the lip of the case sticks up higher than I'm used to, it's easier for dust and dirt to get around the edges of the screen and it's not really that easy to clean, unless you use some kind of electronic wet wipe. Other than that, this case has been perfect. The case isn't too thick to stop wireless charging and the port cutouts are a good size, so even third party lightning cables that usually have a bulkier head than Apple's work just fine.

These Marshall Minor II black Bluetooth earbuds have 14.2mm drivers that produce clear, accurate audio and soft ear tips that ensure lasting comfort.

I have a pair of Marshall Monitors that I love, but I wanted something a bit lighter for exercising and working during the day. I really like Marshall products, my first guitar amp was, of course, a Marshall. So when I saw the Minors, I thought I'd pick them up and give them a try.
The Minor 2 is a basic, no frills wireless, in-ear set. These are not earbuds - there is a small cord that connect both sides of the headset together. On the right-hand side of the unit is the control box with a knob that controls volume (up or down), skip back or skip forward. The micro USB charging port is also located on the control box as well.
First off, why I love them - they're lightweight and easily fit into my ears. With most sets that have interchangeable cones, I usually use a medium one. The Minors do not come with other adjustable sizes, it's a one-size-fits-all approach. Thankfully, the in-ear components are designed and built in such a way that they don't juggle loose very easily. In fast, I was bopping all around the house the other day wearing them and they never shook loose.
They also advertise 12 hours of use - I've never had an occasion to listen to 12 hours of anything, so I can't say for sure if that's true. I did listen to music using them while I was cleaning out our van after a family trip to the beach (lots of sand to clean out) and they did great! They didn't move, get stuck on my neck, nothing.
Additionally, the copper "M's" on either bud are magnetized. You can take them off, pluck them together and whatever you're listening to will pause. No fielding around with your phone or whatever, just take off, pluck together and go about your business.
There are a few items that keep these from being a home-run product in my book. First, the cord that connects the buds is very short, with no clip option. So if you have a large neck, you'll probably have to wear them with the cord in front rather than behind your neck.
Second, for being so lightweight and compact, I was surprised to see that Marshall didn't include any kind of case to carry them in. You get the headphones, a USB charging cord, and that's it.
Finally, there's a fixed audio setting / equalizer. I included the picture of it from the back of the box. If you want to be able to control the settings based on the music you're listening to, then you'll be disappointed. Also, just like my Monitors', there's no app to customize the settings or sound field - these are straight, no frills, awesome sounding headphones. If you want to be able to customize aspects of the experience, then these aren't for you - if you don't care, then these are probably something to consider.
At the end of the day, I'm happy with them and I keep them in the same pouch as my Monitors for when I'm on the go.

Good Hardware, So/So Software
on July 23, 2019
Posted by: cjviscito
from Dallas, TX
The Nextbase 422 camera comes with a whole host of cool features that I didn't think of when I started looking for a dash cam. The unit itself is really solidly put together. Here is a quick run-down of all the features, bells, and whistles:
* 1080p recording @ 60 fps / 1440 @ 30 fps
* WiFi / Bluetooth connectivity
* 2.5" HD touch screen
* Alexa integration built in
* Intelligent Parking Mode
* Emergency Response (Subscription required)
* WiFi / Bluetooth connectivity
* 2.5" HD touch screen
* Alexa integration built in
* Intelligent Parking Mode
* Emergency Response (Subscription required)
The initial setup was a bit confusing because there's a Nextbase App for iOS / Android as well as a desktop client. I had some issues on my iPhone setting it up, which I attributed to iOS 13 beta, but then when I connected it to my iMac, the software showed a completely different item / serial number. I finally ended up deleting the App and setting it up using my wife's iPhone on iOS 12.
The setup itself comes with a sticker-based and suction-based mount for the camera. I live in Texas where it can be over 115 degrees in the summer, so I opted for the suction cup holder instead of the glue. I've had too many glue-based products fall off due to high heat. Also, you will need to pick up a micro-SD card to even get this thing up and running per the setup instruction.
The device itself works great, but the battery life off power is a joke. This isn't a device that's meant to run off battery power for long, if at all. I had to fight to get the cable routed and hidden in my Honda Crosstour since the car already has a proximity sensor as part of the rear-view mirror assembly where Nextbase suggested I install the camera. Honestly, if you're serious about keeping this in your car long term, do yourself a favor and pick up the kit that lets you connect directly to the car's fuse box. The camera itself comes with a cigarette lighter adapter - and I found myself having to chose between charging my phone or using my dash cam. Since space is a premium in cars, it would've been great if they'd added a USB port to charge your phone as well.

Near Perfect Travel Option
on July 19, 2019
Posted by: cjviscito
from Dallas, TX
I travel a lot for work and use a 13" MacBook Pro with USB-C ports. I usually carry an adapter that connects my laptop to HDMI, USB-A and power through a single dongle. There have been several times that connecting to multiple monitors was required and I was looking for a solution that would allow me to connect to multiple monitors over HDMI from my MacBook.
I picked this up and was pretty surprised by all the functionality that Belkin packed into a smaller hub. For the record, this is a smaller, travel sized version of their larger, beefier TB3 dock. I was able to drive 2 monitors using HDMI and ethernet using this dock. The dock also comes with a single USB-A v2 port and a single USB-A v3 port for connecting accessories. I was able to connect my iPhone using the USB-A v2 port and an external HD using the USB-A v3 port.
My one gripe with all of this seems like an obvious omission: there's no option to pass power through this device. That means that you'll have this dock connected as well as another USB-C plug for power. It seems like an odd choice since so many USB-C accessories have a USB-C port to charge your MacBook at the same time.
I was also able to use this dock on my new 2019 iMac which also uses TB3 / USB-C ports. Transferring data between MacBook and iMac using this dock and my external drive is a breeze. If you're a traveller and want something a little beefier than Apple provides, then you need to check this out.

Shark AI Robot VACMOP combines powerful vacuum suction and hard floor wet mopping for a complete clean, all in one robot. Features include: Shark suction power, Sonic Mopping that delivers 100 scrubs per minute for stuck-on stains, and AI Laser Navigation for precision cleaning.
"We would like to let you know that this Robot also works to vacuum carpets." This is the response that I got when I asked "Does it work on carpet?" Sounds to me that it doesn't work on carpet but they want you to buy it anyway.
The beater bar on this doesn't look like it's meant to get into the fibers of the carpet. I don't have it vacuum mine, I have it only for the hard floors.

No - it won't split a signal to 2 USB-C devices. One USB-C port is for charging only and the other is for audio output. The device has picture indicators on it identifying which port is for charging (lightning bolt) and for audio (headphones).

Expand connectivity on your Apple MacBook Pro or Air with this gray HyperDrive DUO seven-in-two USB Type-C hub. Two USB Type-C ports support Power Delivery for charging mobile devices rapidly, while the HDMI output lets you connect a UHD display. This HyperDrive DUO seven-in-two USB Type-C hub has USB Type-A ports and microSD and SD card slots for fast data transfer.
Will the adapter fit comfortably if the computer is in a protective hard case/skin?
It will - but I found it to feel a bit shaky. I was worried that I'd break the USB-C ports on the hub off inside the MacBook.

Do I NEED to enable assistive touch?

IS THIS EASY TO PAIR? IS IT NECESSARY TO PAIR EACH TIME THE TV AND HEADPHONES ARE TURNED ON, OR ONCE THE PAIR HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED CAN YOU FORGET ABOUT THE TRANSMITTER HANGING ON THE BACK OF THE TV? AND WHAT KIND OF RANGE DOES IT TRANSMIT?
I've never had an issue with mine losing / forgetting connection. I can't speak to range since I've only used it within a few feet at most, but I've had no issues.
