An Awesome Portable Wireless BLUETOOTH® Speaker the SRS-XB41EXTRA BASS™️ really kicks!

The Bass is very strong, the light show very cool (Line Light, Speaker Light and Flashing Strobe). The ability to control through tapping it is easy. Good looks, long play time, nice design, rugged weatherproof construction and strong sound make this a great party machine.

A symbiotic relationship - hearing aid + earbuds
on March 31, 2018
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Bose Hearphones have been a great help in loud 3D spaces. With mild hearing loss, I have trouble with voice discrimination and high frequency audio. The Hearphones (I love the name!) help to overcome my issues by letting me control how they react to my environment (I use their app – quite nice). People seem to be used to talking to people with earbuds placed in their ears and seem to ignore the Hearphones allowing for good non distracted communication. The ability to go from external, focused audio to noise cancelled music environments is awesome. They work great and work for a usable amount of time. They are better at music than hearing aids I have tried for music and still help with speech issues. They are typical Bose high quality and they are unobtrusive. As a premium product I think they should include a charger. The packaging makes you feel like you are getting the great product that it is. This is a quality of life enhancer.

Good Vibrations

I currently use a Philips Diamond Clean Sonicare toothbrush at home and wanted a second Sonicare to use just for travel. The 6100 is great it for this purpose. One charge has always lasted me through multi-day trips and should handle multi-week trips as well. There are a lot of toothbrushes out there in the market that vary in performance and cost etc. Here are the major reasons I like the 6100. With tens of thousands of brush strokes per minute the cleaning is quite thorough. The small brush head size cleans very well and easily reaches all areas of the mouth and uses a pressure sensor to keep you from damaging your gums. I really like the four brushing periods on the toothbrush which tells you when to switch to a new area for brushing and automatically turns off when the timed brushing experience is over. I am looking forward to trying some of the other brush heads that are available. Nice ergonomics, styling and build quality make for a very nice user experience.

Great system defender!
on March 14, 2018
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The BOX 2 is great for home and small business application. It provides superior network protection, guarding against IoT, Computer and Mobile attacks. It is managed through a centralized app that includes parental controls. The user is provided with unlimited access to Bitdefender software (requires an annual subscription after the included first year) for deployment on networked wired and wireless devices.
It lacks some router features and has only one available ethernet port for connecting a device if you are using the other port for connecting to a device like a cable modem. I hooked my BOX 2 up to a second router with 8 ports to accommodate local hardwired equipment.
The Bitdefender BOX 2 is an evolution of the original BOX and has a great track record including high ratings for anti-virus. It updates itself and evolves to meet new threats. Nice work!

Big machine suction power*. But with cord-free versatility. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute cord-free vacuum has a 40% bigger bin than the previous V8 Absolute and up to 40 minutes of fade-free power with the Soft roller cleaner head (in Suction mode I). The new torque drive cleaner head removes more dust from carpets. The soft roller cleaner head removes fine dust and large debris from hard floors. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute cord-free vacuum quickly transforms to a handheld for quick cleanups, spot cleaning and cleaning difficult places.*Suction tested to ASTM F558 at the flexible inlet.BR>

An Awesome, Durable and Light Stick Vacuum
on February 24, 2018
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
This Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum Cleaner is another great Dyson product. It has great suction combined with lightweight. It uses a ceramic armature instead of metal to avoid a meltdown or galling due to heat. This lightweight spindle also allows it stops almost immediately when you take your finger off of the trigger. Dyson has also increased the size of the dust bin by 40 percent. This gives you a longer vacuuming session time. The ergonomics are the best I have experienced in a Stick Vac. Great warranty, great quality, lightweight and compact – easy to store using the included wall mount with charger. It comes with a great selection of tools including hard and soft floor heads, crevasse tool etc. It is a great compliment to my full-sized Dyson upright (also from Best Buy).
And it really does suck – AWESOME!!

This is a 60-inch Smart TV with 4K resolution. It was easy to install using the included base mounts. it provides a clean, bright picture. it has three HDMI inputs for streaming and one USB port for Cable or hardware such as a DVD. This Smart TV is Netflix certified and is great for every source I tried. I wish it had more USB ports and capabilities. It is very thin, low weight and has a good remote.

Great for cord cutters - free TV
on January 7, 2018
Posted by: jhancock

First a little background. I live very close to broadcast antennas - line of sight. When I setup the antenna following the included directions it took about 5 minutes and was very easy. Unfortunately, I was only able to receive 6 channels. I then went to mohu's online knowledge base and quickly found this information.
"Can I be too close to my TV towers? "
An issue that can sometimes occur when you are using an amplified antenna is poor reception when you are very close to the transmitting towers. The signal from the tower can overpower the amplifiers on over-the-air antennas and they won't work with the amplifier on them.
To resolve, we would recommend removing the amplifier and re-scanning for channels. Other customers with a similar situation to yours have had success with this.

I followed these directions and was immediately rewarded with access to 60+ channels. I am very happy with the antenna and mohu's website.

Fast and reliable cooking!
on December 31, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The De'Longhi Livenza Convection Oven EO241150m uses convection technology with a combination of a lateral fan and three heating elements to circulate hot air to cook food. The advantages of convection heating include being faster and more even cooking than conventional ovens. It bakes, broils, roasts and toasts. It comes with multiple marked rack adjustments along with task specific racks and pans including, a crumb tray, wire rack, bake pan and a pizza pan. It works with fresh and frozen items with the ability to set the desired doneness. The instructions, both printed and on-line are easy to follow. The stainless-steel interior is easy to clean. The exterior is handsome and well made. I like the large and informative digital display.
The first 15 minutes may produce an odor created by the coating on the heating elements as it bakes off (as stated in the manual). I ran my oven for 15 minutes with no food in it and dissipated the smell.
I really like the speed and uniformity of cooking.

Cool (LED) daylight spectrum Wake/Sleep lamp

The Philips Hue White Ambiance Wellner LED White Table Lamp brings satisfyingly soft illumination to your favorite nook and cranny. It simulates natural light to help you relax and feel energized in the morning (or whenever you wake up), and it's bright enough in the red spectrum to read by at bedtime. The Hue table lamp connects to the Hue bridge for remote control. I went to the Michigan Avenue Best Buy in Chicago for assistance in putting together an iPhone and Android controlled Hue lighting system. They provided me with the information to set up the environment in a seamless and easy to install way (and saved me money!). I love the style/design.

Smooth Blending by a Great Blender!
on November 26, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The instinctive touch controls let you choose from eight speeds including a pulse function to handle everything from juicing to grinding meat, and the smooth seamless motor base with sealed touch area make it easy to clean - just wipe. The Blendtec Designer blender has a 1500W, 3 HP (almost 3 times the power of my last blender) motor for commercial-capable strength provides reliable power for all of its blending chores. The heavy base makes for as stable and as quite of operation as is feasible. The 36-oz. blending cup/pitcher (medium-sized, robust, durable, and see-through makes it easy to blend smoothies and other drinks. The touch area has illuminated easy-to-read icons that allow you to effortlessly select blend cycles and it also incorporates the pulse function on the panel. Blending frozen fruit and ice is flawless - no plunger needed. The 1500W commercial grade motor is strong enough to drive the aggressive blade so you don't need a messy plunger. It incorporates a state-of-the-art touch slider, touch it anywhere to jump to any speed, and slide your finger to fine-tune your blend. This Blendtec blender has a precision balanced direct drive and motor assembly. The precision-machined socket connects directly to the motor, resulting in both reduced vibration and noise. The innovative airflow design keeps the blender cooler. A cooler motor means a longer life (it has an eight-year warranty). The blender fits easily under most cabinetry. Great Blender at a reasonable price!

Coffeehouse Versatility meets Pod Convenience with the Ninja DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System. Included 12-cup, double-walled thermal carafe is perfect for both hot and over-ice beverages, with an ergonomic handle and spout allow for easy control of pouring. Tackle grounds and pods with 9 grounds brew sizes from small cup to full carafe, and 4 pod brew sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. Brews a coffee pod faster than a leading Keurig coffee maker upon startup. With Thermal Flavor Extraction DUO technology, perfect flavor for grounds and pods is delivered with even saturation and precise temperature control for ultra-flavorful coffee. Separate from the coffee system is a dedicated hot water line. Using a separate line eliminates flavor contamination and delivers clean water. 2 temperature settings, hot and boil, allow you to make tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and oatmeal. Brew a super-rich coffee concentrate that you can use to create delicious lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. Use the built-in, fold-away frother to transform hot or cold milk/milk-alternatives into silky-smooth froth in seconds. Top your Specialty brew with frothed milk for a coffeehouse-style drink. The frother is also removable for easy cleaning. Choose from one of four different brew styles; classic or rich for a traditional hot cup of coffee, over ice for an iced coffee that's never diluted, or specialty to make a cappuccino or latte. Clean function, dishwasher-safe parts, removable Ninja pod adaptor and frother allow you to easily deep clean your unit.
Can you tell me more about the thermal carafe? Is the inside stainless steel?

Hi. Since this is sold in America that would imply it is to be used in America. So I was wondering why the specifications here list the voltage requirement as 220v? While I do agree that 220v grid is indeed a better design, I live under tyranny of 120v...
