Great Blender + Smoothie Go Cup!
on September 23, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Works great for smoothies, salsa, margaritas, or anything you'd like to chop. The six blades that switch directions do the job quickly, produced nice even results and it does it faster then my old blender. I like the pre programmed settings that auto stop when they are done.
Pros:
Sturdy
Heavy duty glass blending jar
Smoothie Go Cup with lid (BPA free)
Pre programmed buttons for Smoothies, Salsa, and Milkshakes plus all the classic Low/Med/High/Pulse options
Everything is dishwasher safe

So quiet! Perfect for taking notes on calls!
on September 22, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
I take notes on many conference calls and I’m very conscious of the noise made by my keyboard – I don’t want to have the impression that I’m writing emails while trying to pay attention to calls.
I bought another “quiet” keyboard because the reviews said that it was “very quiet”, which compared to my old one, it was. However, THIS ONE is really almost silent. The keys have a good tactile feel and no “click” noises whatsoever. The keys are where they are expected to be so I’m not over or under reaching for things like backspace, arrow keys, etc.
I can type at the same speed and do not notice any difference in the feel of the keys. It’s very slender and just a bit narrower than my old keyboard which is important to me because I have a pretty small keyboard tray under my desk.
Also, this includes a mouse (which nowadays, most keyboards do). But this mouse is also SILENT. I can barely hear the right or left clicks. I’m not sure if this keyboard USB dongle is considered the “true” Logi Unifying dongle, but when I replaced my old Unifying dongle with the one that came with the keyboard, I immediately connected to both the new keyboard and the new mouse. That’s how easy it should be.
Highly recommend this keyboard if you want a VERY quiet typing experience. And DON’T throw the box away until you retrieve the dongle from the side flap of the box! (see picture – it’s a bit hidden in a fold of the box)

Awesome workout sunglasses with great “Bose” audio
on September 3, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
These are perfect sound sunglasses for working out or other outdoor activities with that awesome Bose sound. These are my new "Go To" running outside sunglasses/audio combo in one.
Pros:
Great sound – especially for not actually being in your ear at all.
Since they are not in your ear, you can better hear your surroundings which is great for running, biking, etc and being aware of cars approaching, etc.
Comfortable – at first I thought they were a tad snug with the side arms touching the side of my face, but that actually keeps them in place and were very comfortable on my regular 5K runs.
Perfect for running, biking or other outdoor activity.
Great optics – super clear sunglasses.
3 options for nose pieces for a good fit (the default “2” option was perfect for me).
Long battery life
Easy to use controls – love the tactile button under the right arm to pause, next song, previous song and because they aren’t in your ears – no pressure on your ear drums when you tap it.
Volume controls also very intuitive – just gentle swipe the right sunglasses arm forward (up) or back (down)
They can also be used for calls, but I don't answer a lot of calls while "getting the run in", so haven't tried that feature.
Double tap the side arm and access Siri or Google
Very easy to pair and Bose app is easy to use
Come with a nice protective travel case
Love the simple turn over and set down to turn off feature!

Cons:
You lose a little bit of peripheral visibility just to the left and right of the glasses due to the larger side arms (but with nothing in your ears the ability to hear your surroundings definitely offsets this, plus these larger arms give you the great battery life)
Because they aren’t in your ears, if you “bump up the volume” others that are close to you will definitely hear your music playing. These are made/designed for outside activities though – not for indoors on a treadmill, at your desk, or on a plane etc.

Coffee shop coffee at home!
on September 3, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
I’ve used the mini pod Nespresso before at a hotel and while very good, they tend to brew “small” cups. What I love about this is it makes coffee house grade coffee in full size cups!
Pros:
Amazing tasting coffee! So far every style pod I’ve tried (coffee and espresso) tastes great
Options for both Coffee and Espresso in multiple sizes including full size cup coffee (a must for me!)
One touch simplicity – just drop in the style pod you want and it does the rest. It knows the amount of water/brew based on the pod.
Fast heating – only takes about 20-25 seconds to heat up
Small footprint – fits about anywhere on your counter and likely smaller than anything other coffee maker you are using
Modern design – looks good on your countertop
No cleanup – it even ejects the used pods into a catch basin in the coffee maker
Recyclable pods – even free shipping of the old pods back to Nespresso if you re-order through them
Coffee shop coffee without spending $4-$6 dollars!
Came with a good sampler to taste lots of the different options

Cons:
Coffee costs a fair amount more than other at home systems per pod (but tastes better too and much less than a coffee shop, so that offsets things pretty well)
Not a lot of places sell the Nespresso Vertuo pods at the moment, so hard to find locally, but obviously available on the internet

Conf calls all day without wearing a headset!
on July 21, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
VERY easy to use and super quick to setup this USB mic. Buttons are simple to understand and are right under the actual microphone, including a big “Mute” button. The legs of the stand are “sticky” so I can decrease the footprint on my desk by just smooshing the tripod legs together.
It has some options that lets it either pickup sound from all over (omni-directional), or only pick up sound from directly in front of it. I’ve been using it primarily for conference calls and web meetings because I don’t like wearing headphones all day. This mic lets me turn on my pc speakers to hear the call/meeting and use the mic for talking. If my speakers are too loud, there can definitely be some echo of the mic picking up the speaker audio, but I don’t need my speakers very loud for a typical conference call.
I have not used this for podcasting/content creation, but I could see that it would be easy to use. I don’t pick up a lot of heavy “spitty” sounds with this mic like cheaper mics. Best recorded sound is when you are about 8-10 inches from the mic on the “direct” input method.

SO MUCH BETTER!
on July 10, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
So far this is my new favorite kitchen appliance. I have a counter top “blender” that I have been using for the last couple years to make smoothies, but it’s kind of a pain to assemble all of the cups and attachments.
THIS is SO MUCH BETTER and easier to use. The box included the hand blender, the blade, a 3-cup mixing cup, and a “pan protector”
Pros: Cordless, very powerful, has variable speed, and the “pan protector” let’s me use it in non-stick cookware with confidence. Scrambling eggs was magical. Smoothies are perfect and easy with just a little splashing if I’m not careful. I made whipped cauliflower mashed “potatoes” and it came out perfect and so much easier than the blender. Cleanup is a breeze - detach the blade with a twist and rinse it under the faucet. Crushes ice in a smoothie to a perfect, drinkable consistency.
Cons: The variable speed is a bit tough to use. It’s supposed to adjust speed by how much pressure you apply, but I cannot get the gist of how to make it go anything other than full speed ahead. Maybe this will get easier with practice. The plastic mixing cup included is rather cheaply made. It’s pretty thin and got super scratched up the first time we used it (presumably from the blade and metal blender part scraping along the inside). I’m a little afraid to put it in the dishwasher for fear it will warp.
The pros WAY outweigh the cons; I love how easy it is to use and for all things the blender used to do, this is so much better and so much less cleanup.

Easy to use stand wireless charger
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Nice stand wireless phone charger. Has a tiny micro dot light that lights up when the phone is charging so you know you have it seated properly. You'll also see the phone charging light up as well on screen. Worked great with my iPhoneX and even with a case on it charged just fine.
I drained the battery down to 0% and it took 2h and 55 mins to charge to 99%. So basically 3 hours for a dead to full charge with an iPhoneX. (22% after 30 min and 42% after 1 hour and 73% after 2 hours)
Perfect for your desk, the kitchen, or nightstand (Note the tiny light that shows it's charging is very minimal and won't wake you up while sleeping if you use in the bedroom.)

Good if you want to leave the laptop behind
on July 2, 2020

from Kure Beach, NC
If you are looking for the iPad keyboard that will keep you from missing your laptop, this is it. If you are into lots of extra functionality in a more stationary place, this is the keyboard for your iPad. You almost won’t miss your laptop. Almost. Here are the pros and cons, unfortunately a few more cons than pros:
Pros:
- Keyboard has great tactile keys that emulate a desktop keyboard more than any other iPad keyboard attachment I have ever used (have tried about 3 before this one).
- The lighted keyboard is a nice addition.
- The trackpad / mouse is genius and helps me not miss my mouse so much.
- While they didn’t add the actual “F” keys, the top row of keys are more like a desktop keyboard with one-touch bright, dim, keyboard lighting, volume, ff, rewind, mute, lock, home, etc.
- Seems like it would protect your iPad pretty well if you dropped it.

- Seems like it would protect your iPad pretty well if you dropped it.
Cons:
- It’s very heavy. My Apple iPad origami keyboard weighs in at 245g, the Combo Touch is 670g. Pre-Covid I travelled 100 flight segments per year. This weight difference would likely deter me from making this my travel keyboard.
- Big con for me was the kickstand. I’m personally not a fan of the back kickstand, takes up way too much room on an airplane seat tray and will not sit upright properly on your lap. Increases the footprint too much.
- The keyboard is either attached or not - meaning it comes off when you flip it to the back of the iPad “tablet” mode.
- It’s twice as thick as the standard apple iPad keyboard.
- And one crazy thing on the keypad - the “Lock” function button is directly above the delete button. So every time I have gone to use delete (which is often) I accidentally hit this key and then it locks the iPad.
- The “delete” key works like a Mac (backspace only) and there’s no real delete (forward) function or key.

In summary, I would use it if all I did was sit at a desk with it or travel with it if I didn’t need to bring a laptop, but I think I will go back to my origami keyboard. It’s 3 stars for me.

Awesome high-end beginner or advanced user drone!
on May 11, 2020
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Wow, the 4K 60fps video footage and 48MP camera is stunning! The DJI fly app is very easy to use. Charged the drone battery, watched the in app tutorials and was flying immediately.
This has so many cool features like auto track where it follows you automatically. Point of interest setting where you pick a subject, building, landmark, etc. and it can auto rotate around it for amazing panoramas. “Dronie” where it zooms up and away from you while recording.
It has automatic on-board sensors that the drone uses to automatically avoid obstacles. So fast (42 mph) and responsive – this turns and stops on a dime. Ridiculous 10k/6 mile range. The auto return to home feature is great – tap the button and it flies back to you automatically. Great battery life – 30-32 mins depending on wind speed and how you are flying it (hovering in place eats more battery than aerodynamic forward flying for example.)
The “fly more combo” is also the way to go with 2 extra drone batteries and the 3 battery charger.
I’ve only flown it a few times, but friends and family are amazed at not only how easy it is to fly, but how jaw dropping the video and picture capture is.
Note that 4K video eats up memory quick, so I’d also recommend picking up a couple 64GB micro sd cards to swap out per battery / per 30 mins of recording. With the fly more combo and 3 batteries you can fly (with landing and battery swap) about 90 mins!
If you are ready to create professional level aerial footage and content – this thing fits the bill without breaking the bank. Can’t wait to take it on vacation! Honestly, I’m re-thinking where to go on our next vacation with awesome cinematic drone footage now in mind… lol.

"Houston, we have super cordless suction!"
on March 29, 2020

Great cordless vacuum for hardwoods, area rugs, or low pile carpet especially if you have pets!
All in all – what you expect from Dyson - very well designed, looks good, amazing suction for a cordless, easy to swap out attachments, long battery life, and does a perfect job cleaning dog and cat hair while switching from hardwood to carpet automatically.
Pros:
60 min battery life
Great suction for a stick/cordless vacuum
Easy storage and charging with drop in wall mount
Large capacity bin for your biggest messes (also easy and fun to open and empty - think shotgun click/click action)
Auto sensing suction adjustment when you go from hardwood to carpet and you don’t have to change the brush head! (*while in auto mode)
Slim profile and quieter than a typical floor vac
Perfect size for cleaning stairs
Like that the attachments can be clipped to the floor wand
Easily reach a 9’ ceiling with the wand attachment (I’m 5’8”)

4 out of 5Best 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.

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!

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.

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.
