Great nightstand charger!
on June 21, 2024
Posted by: ShawnInKB
Charger works well and there’s literally no setup. Includes a pretty heavy duty USB-C cable and holds my Apple Watch, AirPods and iPhone neatly all in one place.
I have an iPhone 12 with a leather case and it remarkably it charges through the case. Helped get rid of 2 separate cables on the nightstand so I’m happy about that too. It does take a little longer to charge all three items but since it will be on the nightstand, I'm okay with an overnight charging situation. The magnet for the apple watch is good and strong and flips up so you don't have to balance it exactly when it is flat like the "disk" chargers I have for the watch. The cord it comes with is quite long also which is a plus so that it can run behind the nightstand and not add clutter to the tabletop.
The only thing that I wish it had was some kind of additional USB-C charging port so I could add my ipad to the charging mix and charge all my apple devices at the same place and time, but I’m happy with this overall. I might even take it with me when I travel to minimize cables in checked or carry on baggage. Also - note that it doesn't come with a plug, so you'll need to use another plug or USB-C port to charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for adjustable mounting above our soundbar
on June 12, 2024
Posted by: ShawnInKB
We recently got a new soundbar that was taller than our old one and now was blocking the bottom 2 inches or so of the TV when viewing from the couch. This was the perfect solution to raise the TV up. It also freed up a lot of room as the stand it was on took up quite a bit of room.
It feels and appears well made that’s sturdy and very adjustable for an ideal viewing angle. It can be extended out and turned left/right and up/down very easily, but the most unique thing about it is the ability to raise and lower it to different horizontal heights for raising over a sound bar or any other decorations or things you might like below it. So future proof for our particular issue with our new larger soundbar.
Setup was straight forward. The instructions were easy to follow and also had good video instructions – just scan the QR code and follow along. It came with multiple sets of different size TV mounting screws to match the size of your specific TV VESA mounting holes even different depth/lengths – very well thought out. It also came with mounting lag bolts for a super secure mount to the wall into a stud. Fit perfectly and easily handles our 65” TV.
The mount also has compartment on the bottom of the swing arms for cable management along the arm for when you pull the TV out from the wall or turn it.
Overall very pleased and the TV looks much better mounted vs. being on a stand!

Rock out while swimming!
on May 30, 2024
Posted by: ShawnInKB
Let’s start with the most important feature of this headset – if you want to be able to listen to music while doing laps, these do the trick! They make swimming for exercise and doing laps much more enjoyable which is their whole point.
Now for the details - The sound quality is decent, but don’t expect great. These are bone conduction headphones that rest on your head near your ears, but not in them. So like all bone conduction style devices they won’t sound like “in or over ear” headphones. They leave your ears open to hear ambient sounds and are good for running/biking/skating etc. or any scenario where you want to be able to hear your surroundings in addition to music. Bonus though is those near you don’t hear them.
There are multiple modes for listening to music – 1 is via Bluetooth and the other is via MP3 for listening to audio copied to the storage of the headset. The MP3 mode is what you use for Swimming.
Bluetooth Mode:
- Let you connect to up to 2 devices (multi-point pairing – say a phone/tablet/PC/etc.)
- Has 2 EQ modes: Standard (better for music) and Vocal (better for calls/podcasts, etc.)
MP3 Mode:
- This is the mode for Swimming
- Let you listen to downloaded audio that’s downloaded via the USB charging cable. It comes up as just a storage device (HD/USB stick etc.) and you simply copy audio files to it
- Has 2 EQ modes: Standard and Swimming
- Has 3 playback modes: Normal, Shuffle, Repeat. Personally I would use normal if I wanted a specific order to my songs like for a race or shuffle if I’d like to just mix it up while swimming.
Comfort: These are quite comfortable both in and out of the water. They rest on top of your ears and against your head. While jogging or swimming they don’t really move at all which is great.
The app is a must! Download that out of the gate. I couldn’t figure out the buttons at first, but as soon as I downloaded the app it walks you through it and you can customize a couple of them for different features. You can use the buttons to switch modes, etc. but the app is very easy and intuitive.
The pause button is easy to tap for pause or move to the next track even in the water. Same for volume up/down.
You definitely want to use the ear plugs while swimming (one pair included) – they greatly help improve the sound quality in swim mode.
In addition to headset, ear plugs for swimming, charging/music copy cable, they also come with a water friendly silicone case that even has water drain holes for you to simply toss in there while wet when your done with your swim.
Battery is easily charged with the included USB magnetic cable. Note that it is proprietary - so don’t lose it, but this is necessary to keep the unit sealed and waterproof. You can check battery status by tapping a volume button while music is paused and it will tell you High/Medium/Low, but I find the app is easier and it shows you the specific % of battery when connected to the headset via Bluetooth. I swam for about 30 mins and battery was still at 90%.
Some general observations to be aware of:
- You must have music downloaded to use MP3 mode/swimming mode. You can’t use a music service offline mode etc. as that would still require a Bluetooth connection. It doesn’t have to be just MP3 either, there are lots of audio formats supported.
- There doesn’t appear to be a way to organize the order of the music, so I wouldn’t recommend audio books, etc. and plan on your music being mostly random that you track forward/back on.
- There’s also no way to scroll forward / back to a point in time on a song – only Previous / Next track, Play / Pause. So if you download something that’s an hour long for example you have no way to scroll to a point in time.
- They do not float. I only plan on using in a pool, so not an issue for me, but if you were planning on using in the ocean I’d highly recommend a swim cap over them.
Looking forward to lots of swim exercise this summer while rocking out!

Why settle for a single band when you can choose from three? The Best Buy essentials BE-AWB41SIL3SG Silicone Bands for Apple Watch 38mm, 40mm and 41mm (3-Pack) gives you three colorful bands to choose from. Their durable silicone design with sport pin stays firmly in place no matter the activity. Each band adjusts from 5.9 to 7.7 inches, ensuring a comfortable fit all day, every day. Three are better than one with this Best Buy essentials silicone band 3-pack.

Better than the original!
on May 13, 2024
Posted by: ShawnInKB
These are really good silicone bands for the Apple Watch! I am a big fan of the colors, especially the blue/green. They fit great, are comfortable, and perfect for working out or everyday wear.
Two of the biggest things about them:
First, I like that there are two slots on the band to secure the strap (vs. only 1 on other straps) which makes it feel more secure.
Second - the holes on these bands are smaller and closer together so there is more range for adjusting the size. This is great for making quick size adjustments periodically throughout the day or when working out or sleeping.
I also like that the pin closure is rectangular not round. It’s a little thing, but it looks cleaner to me.
They were quick and easy to attach and easy to swap out if you want to change out the color with your outfit. They are very easy to clean since they are silicone.
Price point is great especially since you get 3 bands. These fit my Apple Watch 8 - 38mm perfectly and as noted above the closer holes and double strap loop are both improvements over my original strap.

Easy to setup and perfect for streaming!
on April 30, 2024
Posted by: ShawnInKB
This TV’s 4K picture quality looks great. Our couch is about 10’ from the TV and it looks crisp and crystal clear. Nice fluid motion on high definition streaming and 4K UHD content.
Multiple picture mode options for setting screen preferences like Dolby Vision IQ (when streaming at that quality), Vivid, PC/Game, Theater Day and Night, Sports, etc. Colors are vibrant and pop.
The eARC works perfectly with our (Sonos) Dolby Atmos sound system.
Setup was very fast and easy. It walks you through it under 10 mins. We have 4 streaming services and all of them were easy to login, setup, and then access right from the TV on home screen. The fast on feature and Google integration to simply tell Google to “Turn the TV” on is great. Google integration works well – for example I tested saying “Watch Yellowstone” and it found the show and that I had it available on Peacock and took me right to it. Pretty impressive.
The remote is very intuitive and also controlled our Apple TV out of the box. Airplay works great as part of the TV to stream or mirror from your phone or tablet. To be honest, I’m not sure we even need the AppleTV anymore as this handles all the streaming services and mirror easily without it.
The stand was straightforward to setup (just 4 screws) and even with the size of the TV it is stable, however it’s not quite tall enough to be above the soundbar in our situation. Our soundbar blocks the bottom 1 inch of the TV because we have the TV on a stand that is taller than our viewing height from the couch. If we had the TV lower this probably wouldn’t be an issue, so just something to consider based on your TV stand height. We are just going to mount the TV on the wall to raise it above the soundbar. Note that the stand is included, but a wall mount isn’t.

Fast scooter & love the shocks
on February 20, 2024
Posted by: ShawnInKB
This was quick and easy to setup in less than 10 mins. Unfold it and just a few (6) screws to attach the handlebar to the base.
When it is charging there are no lights on the scooter itself (display blanks out once plugged in), but there is a red light on the charging pack that changes to green when it’s done charging.
The large 10” tires and shocks up front are great! It is a much smoother ride than other rigid scooters I’ve been on. The platform is nice and big for a comfortable standing/riding position. The handles also appear to be replaceable if you ever need to swap out grips and look like they would allow for you to add a side view mirror.
Standard scooter controls – left hand break for stopping, bell (useful on a bike path!), and right hand thumb paddle accelerator. 3 speed modes: Eco, Drive, and Sport. Sport mode is zippy! You almost need googles on to keep your eyes from watering at 20 MPH.
It’s easy to collapse the stem for carrying, putting in a car, etc. It took me a minute to figure out how to unlatch the scooter once folded (I was pushing down on the top – you need to push the lever under the latch). Note that it’s a bit beefy at 42 lbs.
It has a headlight and rear tail light that also blinks when you hit the brake. I like that it has reflectors front, rear, and sides in addition to the lights to help you be seen especially at night.
The app is intuitive and found the scooter right away. I like that you can enable/disable cruise control and select whether to pedal or not to start. (In pedal mode it just means you have to kick off with your foot to get it moving prior to the accelerator kicking in - which I actually prefer for a smoother start.)
You can also lock it in the app, but like any scooter you’ll want a sturdy lock to actually lock it up if you plan to park it anywhere.
Overall seems very sturdy and well built.

Fun when working Needs strong WiFi signal outside
on November 18, 2023
Posted by: ShawnInKB
This was surprisingly difficult to get setup. At first, all seemed to be going well. I charged the camera to 100%, I established Wi-Fi, I installed the latest firmware update and I could do a test and could see what the camera was seeing inside the house.
The challenges began when I tried to put it in my yard. I have a shepherds hook with a bird feeder now located about 25 feet from my house. I hung bird buddy there and almost immediately received a postcard. (Carolina chickadee! Yay!) But I watched as dozens of birds came and went and did not receive any more postcards. I tried to view the live stream and got errors. (Side note, we have really good Wi-Fi and repeaters all over the house since my spouse and I both work from home.) I moved it about 10 feet closer to the house and still could not wake it up using the live stream. I put it on my 2nd story deck right outside my office and finally could see the live stream and Wi-Fi. However, I don’t want birds leaving droppings on my 2nd story deck so I had to go around the yard looking for a spot that would show Wi-Fi signal.
Went through rebooting cable modem, rebooting WiFi, and resetting Bird Buddy.
After about 4-5 locations, I found a spot that got a low signal but worked. I received another postcard this morning (another Carolina chickadee) and still have okay Wi-Fi signal. My recommendation is to be sure you have really strong Wi-Fi (outside your house, which can be a challenge) or if you can, put it right outside your house or the room where your router is. Looking at other feeders in the app, it looks like a lot of people do that on their shared bird pix. The feeder itself seems sturdy and easy to fill and clean and I do like that there is a solar panel on the roof for charging.
Note that if you live stream it kills the battery very quickly. I was going to get one of these for my elderly mother, but need to make sure her WiFi signal will be strong enough. I don’t want to put her through frustratingly trying all kinds of installation locations.
Maybe in version 2.0 they’ll update with stronger WiFi and bigger battery in the unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great - looks great – easy to setup!
on November 18, 2023
Posted by: ShawnInKB
This lock is excellent! A unique smaller design over other locks I’ve tried and has all the bells and whistles for your needs.
Physical Installation:
I had a few challenges with installation, but wasn’t difficult to overcome. My strike plate on the deadbolt / door side needed to be deeper to accommodate the thicker Level Lock strike plate. I had to borrow a dremel style tool from a neighbor to sand it down (only took a few minutes to do once I had the right tool.) On the strike plate on my house side ran into a couple things. 1) My old strike plate was rectangular and the Level deadbolt is round. So I had to replace it – thankfully Level included 2 optional strike plates to replace it with. When I removed my old one, there was no groove at all on the door for my old strike plate and Level’s are thicker (so probably also more secure). But this meant I needed to also borrow a chisel to first create a recessed groove and then used the dremel sander to smooth it out and get to the right depth. I recommend you check out your specific old lock/strike plates prior to installation so that you have the rights tools to install.
Once I got that sorted, everything else was a breeze. Instructions were clear and installing the lock, keypad and home connect module were all super easy and worked the first time!
Unique Small Design and Battery:
It’s got a unique design where the batter is actually installed in the deadbolt itself. Battery was easy to install, just unscrew the cap at the end of the deadbolt with it in the unlocked position. This makes the lock itself very small. You can’t even tell this is a smart lock from looking at it either outside or in. Battery is a standard 1 CR2 lithium battery. You might not have these laying around, but available everywhere. Says battery life is 6 months to a year. It’s nice that it is just 1 battery. Others I’ve used all had 2-4 batteries so this will be a less expensive lock to maintain.
Bells and Whistles:
As I mentioned this lock does have it all option wise. You can unlock with the app, key cards – think hotel lock (2 included), pin codes with included pin pad, your phone via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (via app or Google Home), or a traditional key (2 included).
The app is well though out and very intuitive. App setup was a breeze to add the pin pad, Wi-Fi connect module, and pair everything including adding to Google Home. It was super easy to add users and pin codes. Overall, so far this lock is excellent!

Great option for the money
on November 13, 2023
Posted by: ShawnInKB
Quality of the video is good at 1080p. Not as good as 2K or 4K, but at this price point is still a good option. The installation wasn’t as intuitive as I’d hoped. I got the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight bundle and each device has its own instructions. Sync module, Camera, and Floodlight mount. They need to better align these on which to do/install first or have a separate instructions for when you get the bundle. I had to do some internet searching to figure out which barcode to scan first and install. I went the Sync module first, then Camera, then Floodlight mount. I clicked to fast during the floodlight mount and had to do a fair amount of digging to get back to the installation instructions.
I figured everything needed to be charged and mistakenly plugged in the camera to a USB C to charge it only to realize it runs on batteries and that the USB C port is to connect the flood light to it. The blink camera uses 2 AA’s and the flood light uses 4 D batteries. Good and bad – you don’t have to charge it, but you do need to replace batteries at some point. We’ll see how long they last. Claims 2 years so time will tell. If so, that’s totally reasonable to get on a ladder and switch them out.
Light output of the flood lights is very good. I have them mounted about 20’ above ground off of our siding next to the base of our 3rd story deck. Does a good job lighting up the outdoor staircase and the yard (see pic).
I installed it with the included siding mount for ease, but I live in coastal NC and not sure that mount is going to stand up to any significant wind let along a tropical storm or hurricane. The vinyl siding mount was very easy to install (no tools) so I figured I try that first. If it does fall though, will probably break the whole thing at 20’ up, so I probably will drill it into the wood deck prior to next storm.
Video and alerts are quick and I’m impressed with the speed the cloud video clips are available for viewing. Sensor is good and it picks up me and the dog in the yard from 25-30’ away.
I like the double LED spotlights. They are easy to position to light up my stairs and whole side yard.
Like all these internet cameras - the features are limited if you don’t pay the subscription, but at $3 a month/$30 a year it doesn’t break the bank.

This tiny 2TB SSD is soooo fast!
on October 28, 2023
Posted by: ShawnInKB
This little hard drive is very impressive! It is extremely light weight. I love how small and compact it is and can easily fit in your pocket (see pictures). I’m blown away with how incredibly fast it is. I tested it on a windows laptop (running Windows 11), connected it via the included USB C cable and I copied a 4GB video file from the laptop hard drive to this portable SSD in only 7 seconds! It’s 2TB so there is plenty of storage for backup, games, pictures, or general file storage, etc.
The specifications say that it can handle a 6.5 foot (2 meters) drop. I didn’t try dropping it 😊, but I believe it - it’s so light weight that I am sure it would be fine and it is SSD so there are no moving parts.
It also comes with a nice short USB C to USB C cable. It doesn’t come with a strap, but it does have a pass through small hook on one corner if you wanted to attached it via a thin strap or cable.
Note that it doesn’t come with an USB A adapter, but I did test it with one and it works fine (obviously at slower speeds).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best fitting case / issue with power button crack
By ShawnInKB from Pottstown, PA
Overall a great case as long as it holds up! 1st one got a crack at the power button within 2 weeks. The plastic there is just too small/not sturdy enough and I barely used it. You almost never even use the power button because it automatically comes on and off when you open and close the case. Lots of others had this same problem. On my 2nd one - 2 weeks in (so far so good, but being really gentle with it just in case.)
Otherwise a great case. Good viewing angle, great form factor, super light so it doesn't bulk up your iPad air. Keyboard takes some getting used to and keys are in weird places, but much better for typing than the on screen keyboard. Nice slim package, lets you type better, easy access to the camera, power, and charging port. Good viewing angle. Note the only slimmer full case was the OEM Appple iPad full case which I tried 1st, but it was worthless. The only viewing angles on that one were basically flat and 90 degrees so not usuable at all. Go with this one instead and careful with the area of plastic by the power button.
2nd one cracked also at the power button!!!
February 11, 2014
A few days after I wrote this review, the 2nd case broke in the exact same spot at the power button. Again, never even used the power button as it isn't needed. Serious design flaw. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Wemo WiFi Smart Outdoor Plug gives you total smart control over your lights, holiday decorations and other outdoor devices. Featuring two splash-proof and weather-resistant outlets, you can set schedules and control two devices together from anywhere by using the app or your voice with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, or Hey Google.* It’s perfect for the patio, yard or other spaces where you’d like to manage electric outlets. You can also use Away Mode to randomly turn porch or landscape lights on and off when you’re not home. Sync lights connected to the Smart Outdoor Plug with the sunset and you’ll walk out to a backyard that’s ready for evening activities.
 

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?

No it is not GFCI, but most places require outdoor outlets to be on a GFCI in that circuit so should be covered by your GFCI outlets. No, it turns both plugs on/off simultaneously. Not sure on it's temperature rating. Didn't see any details on that in the manual.- only that it is IP44 rated.

Meet Talk GO, JLab’s compact, lightweight, and portable USB microphone. With 2 studio-quality condensers and a generous resolution of 96kHz/24BIT, this is a great entry level microphone for all around use with high performance. The Talk GO has 2 directional pattern modes to choose from and has volume and mute controls, making it great for calls, podcasts, gaming, ASMR and voiceovers using its two directional pattern modes.
 

Does it use an aux cord

It is USB connection only for connecting to your PC/Mac. There is a 3.5 aux jack on the bottom of the mic for connecting a 3.5mm headset for listening if desired. Instead I just use the output of my PC speakers to hear others on my meetings/web calls.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
 

I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?

If you have an OTA antenna already you will be all set. Just unscrew the OTA coax cable from your TV and connect it to the OTA AirTV adapter (included with this item.) Then it will show the locals right in the AirTV/SlingTV same guide.

Apartment use. Currently have a TimeWarner modem router and an extender in living room. parts of living room are slow and gaps. will these replace the modem router and will range be better?

I would say yes. Our speeds tripled in the areas of our home that were slower (3rd floor and basement) from 20-27mbps to 63mbps.

I have a house built in 1930 and it is 1000 sq. ft. up and 1000 sq. ft. basement. I have 2 wifi extenders because of the solid brick and plaster walls to pick up better signal in dead areas. I currently have a Netgear 55 router. Would this work better?

I would say yes based on my results. Before I installed the Orbi I ran 5 separate speed tests on my laptop in various parts of our home. (3 story house - 2700 sq. ft).

I ran tests from each floor on my existing router (TP Link WR1043ND - a 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router). Speeds averaged 43.76Mbps down and 4.35Mbps upload.

After I installed the Orbi, I re-ran the same speed tests in the same locations and speeds now average 62.83Mbps down and 5.80Mbps upload. Significantly faster!

The 2 spots in the house - top floor and basement both went from 28.56Mbps and 21.72 to 64.33 and 63.46 - so much better coverage and the Orbi's base + satellite coverage now provides equal coverage thoughout the entire home.
