Easy install, Great App, Very Secure
on May 2, 2022
Posted by: EnglishD
from Florida
Extremely well made unit as per most things from Eufy(Anker).
Extremely easy to install, just follow the directions, use the adapters, and you will be ready to go in no time.
So we already have a few Eufy Camera and a door bell cam and this complements them so well.
So once you download the app and set up everything you will need to calibrate the lock and for some reason on android i was getting all kinds of issues and didnt know why. eventually it worked but its a case of the Android App being less polished then the one for iOS which is a shame. Once up and running it works great.
You still get the manual deadbolt on the inside so you can still lock manually and unlock incase you have issues.
The app is great, you can unlock and lock your door from anywhere. Many others you need to be on the same wifi network but not this one. i can literally open the app and do it anywhere. such a good feature. You can also send unlock commands to people you trust but dont want them to have coeds so they can let themselves in your home. and you also get lock alerts, that way you know when the doors is being used. All great features.
I would have given this 5 starts but for one reason and thats proximity lock/unlock only works with IOS. This does not work on Android at all and its a shame that such a great feature is missing for the millions of android users. Hopefully this can be added soon

Great surround sound but has some issues
on February 14, 2022
Posted by: EnglishD
from Dayton, Ohio
I've never tried anything like this before so really didn't know what to expect but i came away pleasantly surprised.
Build quality on this device seems to be very good, no creeking or flexing, seems very solid.
Where this wearable speaker shines is single player games or games that dont have the chaos of say Warzone and such where you need to hear footsteps accurately. While you do get some amazing surround sound from these it's also a little difficult to pinpoint but that could also be due to me being a headphone user and new to this.
Games like Forza, FIFA, Madden, UFC and so on sound fantastic. the audio is all around you and at first it can feel a little strange but once you get used to it you will be impressed with how the audio is pushed around you. One thing regarding the audio is the depth of the audio. You don't get a lot of bass, in fact you get very little which i understand due to the size and casing.
To control the SoundSlayer is simple, the left has an option to select audio profiles depending on what game you're playing. On the right is your standard volume controls.
The biggest issue with this and its something knew going in is the cables. they require power via USB which isn't helpful but also understandable
Pros
No headphone fatigue
No batteries to to worry about
Good Surround Sound
Decent mics with noise cancellation

A super fast and simple way to hydrate your skin!
on February 14, 2022
Posted by: EnglishD
from Dayton, Ohio
My wife wanted to get Foreo's UFO and that has the cryotherapy function. This is the mini and doesn't have that function but my wife said it's not a big deal. Just wanted people to be aware of the difference.
Setup is really easy. Simply download the app on your Android or iPhone device and create an account. Once signed up you can input some details so the device knows what's best for you. You can however use it without the app but for a more tailored approach I highly recommend using the app.
It's super simple to use and that's one if the main things my wife lives about this. You just pop the make on to the heat ring and then lock it down and that's it. 90 seconds start and you simply move the UFO mini on your face.
Her skin feels so much more hydrated and she loves the simplicity of this device. It's a super fast way to take care of your skin without messy creams and such.

This is my first ultrawide monitor and oh boy!
So this thing is slick, its is the largest monitor I have ever owned and I could never go back.
So out of the box its really easy to assemble the monitor to the stand. takes only a couple of minutes.
On the back of the device, you get a built in RGB ring that just adds to the looks of this device. It can be disabled if that's not for you
At 5120 x 1440 @ 240hz this display looks amazing. It's basically two smaller screens fused together for one giant immersive monitor. The detail on the screen is fantastic. With its 32:9 aspect ratio, you get a whole lot of room and viewing area in your games.
When it comes to brightness, this will melt your eyes! but seriously it is the brightest monitor I've ever used, and that's great for HDR content which also shines on this monitor.
Ports Included on the monitor:
2x HDMI 2.1
2x USB 3.0
1x DisplayPort.
PC USB.
Power out.
3.5mm
2x HDMI 2.1
2x USB 3.0
1x DisplayPort.
PC USB.
Power out.
3.5mm
The HDMI 2.1 allows 120hz gameplay and this monitor has a neat PiP feature that allows you to run to devices at once, like my Xbox and PC, or PC and Xbox etc, really is a great idea and makes productivity much quicker.
Overall i love this monitor, its runs fantastic with excellent details on the screen, no flickers or anything at all. If you're looking for the ultimate widescreen setup for gaming then you cant go wrong with this beast

Almost like a Macbook
on December 28, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
I love this device. Why is that?
So from the start it comes really well packaged, you just know it's a quality item. When you remove the keyboard you will feel the heft, it is heavier but is also well made.
Once ready to use you need to connect via Bluetooth, sadly no pin connector here but it doesn't affect performance.
You will need to do an update when first powering on. This is simple and you just follow the on screen instructions.
Once done you are ready to go. The iPad connects via magnets to the matter black laptop lid which I like a lot, your pencil will still charge too.
Using the keyboard itself is really enjoyable. I love the key travel when typing and also how tactile the keys feel. I can type really quick in this.
It has apple shortcuts so it helps save time when using the iPad. Neat feature.
I also like the oversized trackpad, much like the MacBooks this works the same with plenty of room.
Battery I've had no issues with at all and it's charges via USB C. I've not had to charge yet.
Overall I prefer this to other products. It's really well built, the metal base is solid and just feels premium. The hinges are fine and the experience is great.
This is the closest you can get to macking your iPad a Macbook

Gets a lot right with one downfall for me
on November 29, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
So I do like the VAVA Baby Monitor. But it has one issue i will get to shortly.
So out of the box, it's very very easy to set up.
It feels extremely well built, nothing cheap about this, unlike some other monitors we have used. The Screen is a good size at 5" and is clear so you can see what's going on at a glance.
It has a 2 way talk system so you can speak or soothe your little one if needed. The sound is decent but also very hollow. Reminds me of a lower-cost cellphone speaker. It could be better.
Battery life and range are the two best things about this monitor. Range wise I can move throughout my home and in my yard and have a rock solid connection. The range in this is great.
Battery life is great too if you dont wantr it plugged in. Lasting well over one full night before needing a charge is excellent. It also charges vias USB C which is handy as most of my devices use USB C for charging so fewer cables are needed when on the go. It also charges pretty quickly.
My main issue with this is the screen. WHile i said earlier it a very clear display and a good size the downfall is the resolution at 720p. Now i can understand why they have done this as it helps with power consumption for when using off the charger but it would have been better if it had a 1080p option for when plugged in. At 1080p you would have been able to zoom and get much better details of your little one. I'm kind of surprised this hadn't been thought of when this had been designed.
Overall it does what it says, Sound is shallow and hollow and 720p isn't the best but range and battery life are wonderful

Smokeless Grill That is Amazing and More!
on November 29, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD

Long story short. We absolutely love this indoor grill from
Cosori. The main thing we love is the fact we can grill meats and have no smoke in the house. Just the smell of the food you are cooking. It's wonderful!

So what do you get in the box?

You get a lot here compared to other brands who sell indoor grills so that's a bonus straight away.
So this is Wifi enabled... Yes, I said that right... It has an App called the VeSync app and even lets you update the firmware. This means Cosori can update and maintain your grill over the air with ease. Great idea!
The app allows you to control the grill remotely so you don't have to be at the device to make changes which I like as I can get on with something else. It also works for monitoring the progress of your food so you don't have to get up and check each time. I do wish however this had a Thermometer you could use like on the other brands. It also gives you quick access to recipes.

Parts are dishwasher friendly so very easy to clean.
Overall this works great. Chicken thighs and the steaks I have made so far with this have come out perfect and juicy. It's great to be able to grill without having to be outside in the winter. And its not only a grill is it air fries, roasts, bakes, etc so it's a great convenient space saving multi tool for your kitchen.

This is a great idea from DJI. The second screen with increased battery life is a great idea and makes using this so much easier as a creator who works by themselves.
So the battery on this is ok, the main camera unit by itself lasts just under 20 minutes recording 4K60, and when attaching the screen module you will get just over an hour also at 4k60. The OLED display really does beef up the battery. Sadly these results are not from continuous use which I will touch on shortly.
As far as video and photography go I really do like this. It has a larger sensor than the competition and a wider angle which allows for more in your frame. The colors are nice and vivid but you can also shoot in something much flatter so you can grade in post to more of your own liking if the DJI option doesn't do it for you.
Photos also look pretty good, the 12mp sensor does well offering decent HDR and details. Video and photos but look good and offer the same level of quality which I like as sometimes you can get a device that is only good at one and not so good at the other.
4K120 is also available on this which is excellent but I will touch on this shortly.
You can also use this as a webcam which is another bonus. I've not used it this way yet so I can't talk of the quality.
So I mentioned the recording times for the battery and that the camera can do 4K120 but we do have some issues here. The main issue is heat, when testing the battery I couldn't do this in one full-length test. The camera does overheat at different times when using 4K60 and more so at 4K120. you can get around this by using a lower resolution and frame rate but that isn't acceptable as these are reasons to buy this camera. As this is perfect as far as a setup for vloggers it is unacceptable that this overheats so much. I know I do longer-form videos and this would hinder my workflow so much and has done in initial testing. If you are somewhere with a cooler breeze and have this mounted then the heat isn't as much of an issue but it's a shame that this is the case.
Also if you are in somewhere with wind and such then you will have audio issues as this doesn't do a great job of removing that. Is it useable? Yeah but not as good as it should be at this price.
Another niggle is the fact that the main camera is waterproof to just over 30 feet but the modular screen with extra battery life is not... Seriously... You have to buy a separate case for this which at this price is naughty.
Overall this is a decent camera with options up to 4K120. it has good quality video and photos but is let down by overheating issues. The overheating is going to be a deal-breaker for many people, especially vloggers but if you do short-form content then you will likely love this setup as the magnetic screen attachment makes this excellent to use as a solo creator.
I have given this a 3/5 as if you do shorter videos/content you will love this.

Jabra Are Back With the Elite 7 Active!
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: EnglishD
from Fairborn, OH
After last year's lackluster 85t series I really had my doubts going into these. I loved the 75t series but the 85 changed the sound profile that Jabra is known for.
Unboxing these is simple, nothing flashy, just a cover and the actual box that houses the case, earbuds, USB cable, and paperwork.
The earbuds are matte black and look and feel fantastic. they have Jabra imprinted on them but they didn't make the logo a color so it doesn't stand out at all. They are in my opinion one of the best looking earbuds on the market.
When you pair your elites you will want to download the Jabra App. Once downloaded the app will look for your paired elites and will then give you many options like custom ANC, sound profiles, EQ for manual adjustment, and so on. This is where you will also be able to update the firmware if needed. Currently, the firmware is up to date out of the box.
The sound from these earbuds is back to that really nice Jabra style. It's a very warm sound that offers really good lows while maintaining the mids and the highs. I did find that I had to lower the highs in the app as out of the box they were way too high for my liking. Once adjusted though these do sound excellent whether you are listening to something acoustic or heavy bass music.
Overall these are great. they offer great battery life and quick charge. great app support. very comfortable and look great. If you liked the 75t series or the even older 65t series then you will love these

As soon as this came we could see this wasn't just your regular everyday digital photo frame. From the unboxing experience to the feel of the frame its just a setup in every way.
Setup is very simple and allows you to center your pics to show they display correctly on the frame which is a great option as ive had so many other frames before where parts may get cut off the pic as it didn't center on the person in the image.
Uploading pics to your frame is very simple with the App, it is however better using the app on iOS as opposed to Android.
Picture quality is also a step up with this frame. The clarity is awesome and it doesn't show any blurry pics. It also allows for short videos to be played if you wanted with audio which is something I've not seen before on a photo frame.
Another great thing about this is that it's subscription free, at no cost for your cloud storage which is rare nowadays when using the cloud. Cloud storage is also unlimited.
One thing we did have an issue with is the light sensor. We wanted to put our frame in our entertainment center but once we put it in there the screen would go black as it thought it was nighttime which is a great idea but didnt work for us in our usage. luckily we were able to change that.
Overall this is the best digital frame you can buy today. It's built so well and looks great. The screen is so good.

Accept no VR limits with this Alienware Aurora gaming desktop. Its 2TB hard drive and 16GB of Intel Optane memory provide powerful storage performance, and its six-core Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM support bandwidth-intensive applications. The VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics of this liquid-cooled Alienware Aurora gaming desktop keep action-packed scenes free from screen tearing.
I’m interested in buying this PC as my first in a long time. Would this run over watch, Diablo 3, and World of Warcraft at max settings?
Surround yourself with robust audio performance in a slim package with this LG ultra-slim soundbar. Compatible with the latest LG televisions, the compact soundbar pairs seamlessly to deliver an immersive audio-visual experience. The 4K high resolution audio on this LG ultra-slim soundbar lets you hear the action in every scene.
Two questions: 1) Since this sound bar does not have a center speaker, how is dialogue clarity? 2) Can the subwoofer just be used occasionally; that is can it be turned off and on?
This is the main reason I love this, I have had various setups and the dialogue in action scene have sucked. This however works fantastic. And yes you can power off the sub but you can also turn the sub volume down too so you wouldn't need to power off

It works on any carrier, the difference between the Google supplied phone and the Verizon one is that the bootloader is locked on the Verizon version, which isnt an issue unless you like to modify your device, my Pixel XL is working just fine on T-Mobile
