Great Vacuum for multi-surface
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Shark - IONFlex DuoClean IF251 Bagless Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum’s 2X ION Power Pack System Technology Provides more than enough run-time to vacuum a three-bedroom dwelling. The 2X ION Power Pack System includes 2 removable, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and a separate charging dock so you can always have a spare charged battery. The MultiFLEX Technology provides under furniture vacuuming. The MultiFLEX design also allows for freestanding, compact storage – no wall hanger needed. The DuoClean Technology has a bristle brush for deep cleaning carpets, and an additional soft brush roll to suck up larger particles and directly brushes floors for a polished look. It provides floor-to-ceiling flexibility by converting to a handheld vacuum for above floor cleaning, car cleaning, etc. while the Smart Response Technology provides a range of performance-enhancing power settings tailored to your cleaning needs on carpets and hard floors. The vacuum almost feels like it is self-propelled. It is a very nice well-made unit for its price range.

A great way to brush-up on oral hygiene.
on September 5, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The New Philips Sonicare - Sonicare DiamondClean Smart Rechargeable Toothbrush - has 4 cleaning modes and 3 intensities: Clean for excellent daily cleaning, White for whitening your teeth and removing surface stains; Deep clean for a deep clean using the adaptive brush head that flexes with the contours of your teeth; and Gum health for gentle gum cleaning. The three intensities are high medium and low to customize your teeth cleansing. It comes with a charging glass and a travel case. It’s patented sonic technology helps to stimulate your gums with up to 31000 brush strokes in one minute. Enough strokes for a complete cleaning of your teeth and gums. It has a rechargeable battery that can last up to 42 uses or 3 weeks on a single charge and comes with multiple brush-heads.
I experienced a positive change in my dental health and brushing experience.
The Philips Sonicare App is great for monitoring your dental regimen based on 3D tracking and prompts. It is also, like the toothbrush, easy to use and has very high ratings.
Overall the Sonicare DiamondClean Smart Rechargeable Toothbrush system is a great addition to oral health.

Nice Photo Printer
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The HP ENVY Photo 6255 All-in-One Printer is a moderately priced printer that provides consistently good printouts whether text on plain paper or photos on photographic paper. Setup was made super easy by following the included detailed graphic instructions. I first set it up to print from an iPhone and a Pixel XL – it worked flawlessly. I have since set it up to print from Mac OS X, Windows 10 and the internet. It is fast and easy to use while still delivering high resolution high quality images. If you need mostly photo printing it is very nice and also does a fine job of handling limited faxing, scanning and copying (read single sheet). It has a reasonably small footprint making it easy to find a place to put it. Ink cartridges promise to be simple by using HP’s HP Instant Ink.

Great Sound Bar none
on August 14, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The LG - 4.1-Channel Hi-Res Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier is a very well-crafted soundbar system that has a very low profile and nice visual style (and amazingly) without sacrificing audio quality. The quality of construction is very good and substantial. This bar was extremely easy to set-up and install. At about an inch and a half in height and several inches in depth it adds to the audio environment without cluttering the visual environment. The controls allow good well-tailored access to audio quality settings through the LG app. The included sub-woofer drives clean crisp bass. The audio volume is able to blast the aural spectrum from clean highs to strong bass, enough to be able to cover a large room. The installation was simple and fast. With enough modes to aid in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and wired connections it is well suited to a myriad of spaces. This 4K high resolution audio ultra-slim soundbar lets you hear the action in every scene from subtle to ear shattering. It is easily accommodated by not only LG TVs but has multiple types of mounting hardware included for other installations. It has Chromecast and more built-In.
Although small I would like to be able to disappear or at least dim the status indicator.
Easy install and setup plus good style and sound make it a solid buy.

A Best Buy! @ Best Buy - Awesome AirFryer!
on July 30, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Philips Viva Hot Air Fryer is a kitchen appliance that does more than just grill or bake - it fries, bakes, grills and roasts food and it does all four styles of cooking well. I tried frozen crinkle cut French fries first. I cooked them at the long side of recommended times and was rewarded with perfect fries that were tender in the middle and crisp on the outside for a satisfyingly good crunch. All the foods followed this to perfection.
It uses up the counter space of about two standard size facial tissue boxes placed side by side. It should fit most counters easily. Clean-up has been simple, easy and fast. Wipe and place in dishwasher – comes out perfectly clean. It will cook enough food for serving up to 4 people per dish in most cases. Power consumption should be less than using a stove top or oven. It is attractively designed and well engineered and built. It uses little or no oil (read healthy but tasty). Foods were evenly cooked throughout. This Airfryer is as good as the advertising says it is - a great multi-use, compact and easy to use appliance!
–NICE! - VERY NICE!!

some limitations but still innovative
on July 19, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
A novel neckband design with two ways to wear. You can use the retractable cables to use the in-ear headphones, or you can use speaker mode with the external (neckband encased) speakers (which can be disruptive to others). This audio device looks somewhat like a horse collar but also is stylish. The band is part flexible easy to put on or take off and is comfortable to wear although not great for my work outs. The wired earbuds are retractable. When not in use, they retract inside the neckband. It has reasonable controls for audio / phone functions. The audio is not as robust as I would like due to its having subdued base. The system is designed to give you a 360-degree immersive aural experience. The earbuds are able to provide a better experience (but they come with a warning to be careful with the thin cables). You can share music with a person that that has a pair of these (not tested). The unit emulates deep bass through haptics, vibrating the speakers on the neckband. The battery life is excellent 6 hrs. speaker mode / 35 or so hrs. earbud mode. I would like to see them rated for water / dust intrusion. Great concept, Great features, mediocre execution.

Impressive value truly Epic

From exercise routines to foul weather conditions these JLab Audio wireless sport earbuds are impressive. Virtually skip-proof using Beacon™ and C3™ signal technology I did not miss a beat.
Rated at an IPX of IP55 sweat and moisture resistance lets you wash these earbuds. An ultra-precise fit is facilitated by 8 sets of well designed gel tips that keep them in your ears. The audio is clean and crisp. Nice looing and small enough to be non-intrusive they are comfortable and stay in place. How long can they last battery wise? – a whopping 12 hours!

Cool robot vacuum
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
Pro (5 stars)
Set up of the Samsung - POWERbot R7040 App-Controlled Self-Charging Robot Vacuum was easy. It took about ten minutes to unpack, read instructions and set-up. I used the included remote control to start it’s first sweep. It does a great job on both hardwood and carpet without human intervention. It is superb around furniture and other obstacles including corners. It navigated multiple rooms and mated with it’s base automatically to recharge. Very cool!
After an initial sweep, it has an adequately sized dust bin for my location (under 2,000 square feet). If it needs to recharge during a session it will resume cleaning when fully recharged.
Con (fail)
I am waiting for the Samsung Connect app to be updated to include the R7040 on either / or Android (generic) or iOS.
To be a total solution for me it needs to handle the fringe / tassels of Oriental rugs (they jam now).
I hope to be able to use the Samsung Connect Home 3-Pack to manage the POWERbot.

Unique Element Proof-ish Portable Audio
on May 24, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
Cool yet tough functional styling with respectable portable sound quality providing clean strong highs, mids and bass. It floats (waterproof and submersible to 3.3 ft. and has a waterproof dry-box (2” x 4.75” x .25”) for keys etc. plus it is drop-proof to about 4 ft. making it a superb outdoor speaker. The AQ10 is easily portable coming in with a weight under one and three-quarter pounds. Delivering up to 13 hours of battery life, it is great for outdoor events. Having dual front facing drivers and passive radiators it is able to reach 94 decibels (dB) with no discernable distortion while playing a high-quality track. A built-in microphone is provided for mobile-phone speakerphone capability. The AQ10 can also be used to charge a phone or use a patch cord for a physical connection to another audio source. Coming with Bluetooth 4.2 it is power efficient, pairs with up to 8 devices and reliably provides a consistent stream of audio. All of the controls are easy to use. The speaker shape has handles that are handy and a square x rectangular shape that will prevent it from rolling or sliding under most circumstances. Make sure you close the port and lid hatch covers before exposure to the elements. I would like to have USB charging available although I believe the 12-volt power source allows for faster charging.

Hear the world on your terms by controlling the sound around you. Innovative technologies in Bose Hearphones amplify softer sounds, let you turn down the distractions in noisy environments and focus on what you want to hear.
Can you connect them to an audio Bluetooth player, such as an iPhone, to listen to music when not using them for conversation enhancement? If so, what is the audio quality of the music? Do they compare to the similar looking Bose around you neck earbuds.
They are connectable to Bluetooth players like the iPhone and provide great audio with low noise. Yes - similar to their other around the neck earbuds.

Best way to get clear low light shots with action
What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
