Very comfortable wet or dry shave!
on May 2, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Panasonic ES-rt17 is nicely styled and lightweight at less than one pound. It is comfortable to hold and shave with due to good ergonomics. It is powerful enough to handle a tough beard while a single charge provides about 21 minutes of shaving. The trimmer works great on my sideburns and the flexible head adds to comfort and speed in the process of shaving. It uses a single piece charger that I like (no cord to deal with) and the charger can also serve as a stand for the shaver. I find the wet/dry capability allows it to be used in the shower and eliminates the concern of splashing water on it making it easy to clean. It is easy to pack in its pouch and comes with a compact head protector. I really like this shaver better than another wet/dry one that I owned. I do wish it would let you know when it is fully charged and I would appreciate a time to full charge time of less than 8 hrs.. I would also prefer a longer run time than 21 minutes.
A nice comfortable shave is a wonderful thing.

Nice Small Wearable Bluetooth Speaker
on April 24, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Polk - Bit Portable (wearable) Bluetooth Speaker has great mid-range sound quality when you consider its diminutive size. Clipped to my collar close to center of my shirt front the volume was adequate for street use while allowing for good safety through improved situation awareness (you hear other sounds in your environment). The Bluetooth speaker was easy to use for playing music or using for cellphone calls. It has 2 buttons (a + and a -) that are easy to identify by touch and provide good functionality. Battery life is fine for a commute or walk of about 2-3 hrs. I used the online instructions – a .pdf file to learn what I needed to know. When used with my cellphone it functioned just fine. The low price makes it a nice inexpensive personal accessory or gift. While it seem to resist moisture I would prefer waterproof construction.

No Sweat Audio - exercise In-Ear Headphones
on April 9, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The JBL - Under Armour Sport Heart Rate Wireless In-Ear Headphones are the best working out style in-ear headphones I have used. The sound quality is quite good with strong bass – nice for cadence beat during exercise. After fitting the in-ear headphones using the included earbud tips (ear pieces, 3 sizes using TwistLock™ and obtaining a good seal, I could not get them to fall out - nice) of the appropriate size for my ears the fit was comfortable and the in-ear sensor read my heart rate accurately while providing great audio. The right earbud touch sensor provides spoken on-demand heart rate updates and can be optimized for your endurance training sessions to achieve your personal goals. Custom coaching is available through the UA Record™ app, and has a dashboard for connected fitness. You can view in-workout training analysis and get customized heart rate feedback. The 12-month premium membership to MapMyRun (a very popular app for fitness) great for setting up your workout schedule and tracking progress. I used the online manual for set up – easy to understand. Battery life was more than ample for even my lengthiest workouts. They are sweat resistant which is great if you are drenched in sweat. They also have a nice carry case. Cool.

Cradling Luxury - Charging Cradle for Revolve+
on April 4, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Bose charging cradle / station is very harmonious design-wise and easy to implement for docked use with the Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker. The USB connection capability should be of value in electronically noisy environments although the embedded digital signal processing algorithms of the Bose Bluetooth Revolve+ should overcome the majority of environmental electronic signal noise issues. It is a well designed and executed dock.
If you have or get a Bose Revolve speaker you should get this charging station.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. SoundLink Revolve+, the best-performing portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose, delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 16 hours.

Portable Audio Bliss - also comfortable at home
on April 4, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
Very easy setup, expansive sound, and great features at a nice price.
Sound quality is typical Bose, exceptional. It has clean, crisp highs and strong room filling bass while not sacrificing the mid-tones. The issue of volume being too low as happens with many Bluetooth speakers is non-existent – it can really pump up the volume! It is easily portable and does not need a case (that could be misplaced or lost) as it has a handle built in for transportation purposes. The design also seems to embody ruggedness despite its elegant design. Ease of use is great with easy connectivity to multiple sources including NFC capable units. The battery life is very respectable lasting me about 5 days of office use. The remote app provides good functionality and is well designed from a UX (usability) standpoint and is available for both Android and iOS platforms. The speaker is about the size of a large tapered upside-down coffee travel cup – wide at the base. I chose the black version and think it is pure class. The Bose Bluetooth Revolve+ has features that make using it a pleasure. It includes a very nice implementation of speakerphone capabilities and voice feedback and also makes answering calls on a connected cellphone easy. I also have the charging cradle / station that is very harmonious design wise and easy to implement for docked use. The USB connection capability should be of value in electronically noisy environments although the embedded digital signal processing algorithms of the Bose Bluetooth Revolve+ should overcome the majority of environmental electronic signal noise issues.
Great Speaker!!

6,000 square feet - no problem
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
This is a great “mesh” MU-MIMO network for home access to in-house (or yard) nodes and/or the internet. I currently run a network of 20+ devices in a digitally congested area with 30+ networks running in close proximity to me. The Linksys Velop Whole Home Wi-Fi System (3 node) with dynamic tri-band mesh network & an easy to use set up and manage experience is quite nice. The system is like fine wine “it only gets better over time” as it maps or learns the environment it is operating in. The 3-pack system provides up to 6000 sq ft of seamless roaming coverage over a single network. It also works well in multi-story applications.
I followed (to the letter) the easy to follow install instructions and was fully functional with 3 nodes covering all of my space with no dropouts. Unpacking, reading the install instructions (looking online at Linksys info), and setting up the network (rigorously) following the instructions took less than 30 minutes.
This is the fastest home mesh network that I have used to date. It is about 10% faster than what I was using. It also seems to be cleaner with less fluctuation in bandwidth.
The styling is great as the modules are both functional, small and elegantly designed.
Cons: It does not have USB ports for external use (USB printer or storage) nor does it support total dedicated channel control at this time.

The Belkin Apple Watch Portable Power Pack Valet Charger is a 6700 mAh (read powerful) portable battery charger. It can be used to recharge an Apple Watch (all versions to date) up to 8 (or more) times or an iPhone (iPhone 5 series to present) up to 3 times. One of each can be charged simultaneously. Smart chips automatically detect the connected device(s) to begin charging instantly, ensuring optimal, safe charging in the shortest possible time. A USB port connects via Lightning cable (not provided) to your iPhone. The 2 Amp total power, 2-in-1 portable battery delivers 1 Amp to the Apple Watch, and 1 Amp to the iPhone. At just 4.77” x 1.67” x.94” in size it is both pocketable or pursable. It has LED indicator lights to indicate change state. It also has a very nice build quality and appears to be rugged yet is stylish. It was named a CES 2017 Best of Innovation Awards Honoree.

Great in-ear weather resistant wireless audio
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Sony - Xb80bs Extra Bass Sports Wireless In-ear Headphones, have great sound quality with expanded base (which I like) and clean highs. The quality of construction is very good and has no easily penetrable areas, helping to keep moisture and dust out of the charging port (USB). They are washable after workouts etc. thanks to IPX5 design. Great comfort – no irritation from the earbuds that fit snugly in your ear designed to not fall out by also using ear hooks and a cable adjuster to keep the headphones securely in place even while engaging in strenuous activity. The enhanced LDAC codec and Bluetooth connectivity provide a stream of high-quality audio content for an enhanced listening experience. The design is unobtrusive and elegant with the power supply mounted in the earpieces. The connecting insulated wire cable keeps the earbuds from getting lost when not inserted in the ears and also shares the audio signal it appears. The battery life is about 7 hours on average. A nice high tech compact protective carrying case is included. There is also excellent documentation include and available on line.
I would like noise cancellation but other than that they did not skip a beat.

The Philips Norelco - Multigroom Series 7400 Wet/dry Trimmer With 3 Guide Combs - Black/chrome (Black/Grey) is a waterproof groomer with multiple guides and trimming accessories (a total of eight). I have used the 7400 in the shower and also dry. It is without a doubt the best electric trimmer I have used. It cuts nicely and also has a turbo boost function for dense hard to cut hair. The trimmer charges quickly – about an hour. It is very comfortable to hold and looks nice as well. Being waterproof it is quite easy to clean. The storage bag is classic leather – looks nice.

Great video editor - basic to intermediate level
on November 5, 2016
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
It took less than 15 minutes to install Adobe Premiere Elements 15 on a 5K iMac (the package also includes the PC version for the Windows crowd). I used the included DVD inserted into an attached DVD player. I could have installed it over the internet as they provide that capability for those who do not have a DVD player. I was looking for a small (in disk storage size) video editing solution to ultimately install on a laptop computer.
Adobe Premiere Elements 15 works well with stills, video clips and audio, sporting a completely new user interface. In other words, this is a totally new piece of software. The only time tools appear are when you are actually using them keeping the work space uncluttered.
eLive, Quick, Guided or Expert are different modes of editing providing automatic and semi-automatic features as well as guided modules to match your abilities. You determine the amount of control you want to use. Video collages, audio remix and the new interface are probably the three most welcome changes / additions to the program. The collage capability allows you to create a video based on a collection of images while the audio remix does a stellar job of tailoring an audio clip to the length of a video clip.
Although finished clips can be further edited in Adobe’s Pro applications, Adobe Premiere Elements 15 did not have good compatibility with Adobe’s Pro software as of the time I installed it on my system. For optimum compatibility you should consider Adobe Photoshop Express 15 for your companion still editor.

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...
