A truly great all in one machine, I really like it
on August 16, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
Let me preface this by saying my only gripe is that this comes with a setup ink cartridge set, I assume it isn't a full ink cartridge as the kind you buy. Everyone does this though nowadays.
Okay, since the bad stuff is out of the way, I'll tell you it has been a few years since I got a new printer. I'm glad I waited, this is truly a great machine. HP makes good stuff, I have never had a bad HP product in all the years that I've been buying tech stuff. This printer is no exception.
I was able to do all the multi-functions without an issue. The app is easy to use and helpful. The print quality is exquisite. The machine seems solid and the footprint is good sized. There isn't anything about this that I didn't like. The setup was easy, the paper loading is easy. The printing never jammed. The scanning was easy. There is an SD card slot on the front.
This machine represents a good value and I think you'll agree.

Amazing sound, great look, and excellent price
on August 2, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
When I got these today, I was first impressed with the presentation. The box is amazing, has a great look, and a magnetic clasp. Very nice. Inside you'll find a well laid out product, with protection from moving around and damage. Under the headphones is a box with a pouch, and inside the pouch you'll find some different cables, and a microphone boom mic. Wow, really, a boom mic! I really like that because too many headphones today expect your voice to radiate to the mic in the headphones and it never works right. The pouch to keep the cables and boom mic in is a really nice touch!
So, once I got out the headphones, I noticed the cloth blue camo. I wasn't sure it would work with a set of headphones, but it totally does. The soft cloth is nice because it isn't the typical cold metal. And they have a nice feel, they are light, but they are solid. There is an input for a boom mic (which is included) and another jack for the connection to your game system for audio from that device.
I fired them up and I have to say, I like what I hear. I found sufficient bass and a decent amount of treble. I'm running these on my macbook pro retina, and just the basic sound card. I'm getting good in and out using as a headset. I've tried them on an Iphone, same thing, decent quality both speaking and listening.
The amount of sound is good, the way the sound radiates out of the headphone speakers is good, and really I have to say this was a well designed plan for a set of headphones/headset. I haven't tried them with my game system yet, but I don't need to, to appreciate them.
They cover your ears, they sound great, they are cloth and not cold metal, and it comes with a boom mic! There is nothing more I could ask for in a headset. Nice job Logitech, and thank you for putting so much into an affordable headset.

I'd give them 6 stars if I could, amazing sound!!!
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
I received these today and I must say, I am blown away by the sound, amongst other things.
When I opened the box, I was shocked at the amount of care went into the planning and presentation of these headphones. The box was a nice box, solid, but inside is a beautiful semi hard case that protects these when not in use. In that case is a 3.5mm patch plug to plug these into non-bluetooth devices, and also a bright orange charging cable....orange is synonymous with JBL, cool touch.
The headphones feel VERY solid.....no cheesy feel at all. Solid! And they fold at the ear pieces, and also twist from side to side. I got a serious feeling of solid with these, I cannot mention this enough. They aren't heavy per se, they feel like something that will last and provide decent sound.
Okay, I charged them for a short time and fired them up. The ear foam inside has a big R or L for right or left, a nice touch for people who don't like looking for the little R or L. Also, they have a solid vinyl/leather/etc. that rests against your ears, not foam. That is important to limit outside noises. And it works well in this case, my ears didn't feel hot which is a worry with this type of arrangement. JBL/Harman got this right and that is important as you wear them for hours on end.
Okay, the sound is truly amazing - not just amazing, crazy amazing. I have played all kinds of music on these, from Phantom of the Opera, to classical, to old swing, to classic rock. No disappointments from any genre's sound on these. The highs, and lows, are captured very well. And the best part is I feel depth in the music. This is not something to be taken lightly.....the depth provides a sound I've never heard in any headphones before. Wow, I cannot get enough of the sound from these. And I'm a nut about how audio sounds on speakers, headphones, etc.
So, I don't know if there are any better headphones out there, but after trying these, I would not ever need to try to find out because they sound so good. I'm finding myself to be a real headphone person, vs. earbuds or pods.
To be sure I mention any negatives, I'd mention there is no charger with these.....this is typical these days so I'm not disappointed, but wanted to be sure this is mentioned.
Also, one small problem I found was on one of the earpieces, there is a pivot and a snap...but one of them would not snap properly. Upon close examination, I saw there were 4 screws, 2 on each ear piece, and one of those screws wasn't tightened down. I tightened it down and it was perfect, both sides working fine. Just saying this so you don't force it if you find it is this way for anyone. They are small Phillips head screws, very small.
Would I recommend these to my best friend? Yes, and without any reservations. These are by far the nicest headphones I've ever tried and have to say I will be enjoying these for some time to come!

Great for audio, best yet, not so much on calls
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
As with everything, there are positives and negatives. As for the negatives, lets get this out of the way first. There is not a good way to do a phone call, while leaving them in both ears. I found myself having to use just one ear bud, and holding the mic near my mouth. Then, they worked great. The audio receiving was fine, the transmit was the problem. Since I didn't plan on having this feature anyway, I'm not disappointed.
Okay, now the good. They are lightweight, they have a ear support thing to hang from the top of your ear, and that is adjustable. They are rated for a 12 hour battery life, and that may be true, but I've gotten over 4 hours and no change in battery level. So, 12 hours is probably accurate. That alone, makes these really amazing.
There are different ear pieces to put on that will make fitting them into your ears much more customized. That too is a first. These are sport earbuds and can be washed. They are water resistant as well. I like this because I like to wipe down things after a workout and this helps with that.
The best part? The audio is amazing. In fact, once adjusted properly, you'll find the sound is so good, it would be hard to ask for anything more. They have plenty of volume, and clarity. I like bass and treble, and these can do both and do them extremely well.
There is an app to download from JLAB that has a file for you to play for awhile, to burn them in. It is a file to burn in the diaphragm, and I would like to fast forward the process, because so far I cannot imagine them sounding any better than they do.
For the money, and I'm surprised they only cost what they cost, these are totally worth it if sound quality is what you are looking for.

Toss this waterproof LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker in the pool and watch it float. The crisp audio doesn't stop for snow, dirt or ice, and this Bluetooth-enabled speaker can withstand a drop from 1.2m. The battery of this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker keeps going for 15 hours, and it charges your phone while it's playing.

I'm going with 5 stars, and read on to see why
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
At first, I was leaning to a 4 star review, based on the sound quality. But then, I stepped back and thought about the total package offered. Once I did that, I was easily at a 5 star review.
The sound quality is a 4, without any doubt. It is loud and can be improved based on being placed up against a flat surface like a wall, or a cooler if on a beach.
The features of this is what pushes it into a 5+ star category. It isn't just a bluetooth speaker, or an MP3 music player with using a 3.5mm corded connection, it is also a speakerphone. You can take or make phone calls using this speaker, as well as listen to music, or even stream audio from a movie you might be streaming on your phone. I did this, watching a movie on a streaming site, playing the audio through the speaker, and this was the coolest thing I found with this device. Movies on phones are always a disappointment because of the sound, but not with this speaker. Phone calls are crisp and clear, and people were able to hear me speak clearly.
There are multiple USB charging/interface ports, and 2 of the 3.5mm input jacks. A USB port, and a 3.5mm jack, are inside of the super secret and very cool waterproof box that is under the speaker. This secret spot is big enough for your phone (unless you have a plus sized phone with a rugged case), and maybe a thin wallet. It has a way to push the latch closed to give it a waterproof seal.
The unit is big, but not overly heavy either. I've had big speakers that weigh a bunch, but don't sound any better than this. The buttons for bluetooth, play/pause, forward, back, etc. are very large and easy to press.
The box and presentation is 100% cool - they wanted me to know I was buying something important and decent, and the packaging represented this fact very well
The only real negative with this is that it uses a proprietary AC power charger. You won't be able to charge it with just any old cable or power supply, you'll need to bring this along if you will need to charge it while you are out and about. If I'm going to the beach for the day, no problem I won't need it because of the 15 hour battery life. If I'm going to be on vacation for a week, then I'd need to bring that AC power charger.
All of this is missing the main point. The speaker is made by lifeproof, who is famous for making waterproof phone cases. That is the point. This is sand/water/snow resistant, and also drop resistant. i didn't try any of these conditions to see if it was true, but the mil-spec and IP rating were enough for me to realize I didn't need to go that route.
If you want a decent speaker that is rated to survive the elements and conditions of being on travel, pool, beach, outside, etc, then this may be the right choice for you. If you want a speaker for a more audiophile sound, you might be a tad disappointed, albeit just a bit disappointed because the sound quality is good, just not audiophile great.
I haven't had time to test the full 15 hour battery claim, but I've gotten hours without even an incremental change. I think it would be safe to thing 12-15 hours is possible, or even likely based on this initial limited testing.

A true gaming monitor, with 144 Hz refresh rate!
on June 21, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
The HP Omen Gaming Monitor is an all around great monitor, especially for gamers or those interested in applications that offer more than 60hz performance.
Inside the box you get the monitor, which is surprisingly lightweight, along with the pieces needed to assemble the stand, which is a very easy process that is easy to take apart for storage as well. An additional wall plate is included for those who are interested in mounting the monitor to a wall.
Upon being set up, I noticed that the monitor provides a very high quality picture, with an abundance of settings both inside the included software and through the monitor’s menu system itself. There are multiple presets for changing how the picture looks, but I found that the default image settings worked the best.
The high point of this monitor is the 144 Hz refresh rate: paired with a powerful gaming computer, the monitor can provide an incredibly crisp, fluid image that other monitors that can’t go beyond 60hz, cannot produce. When sampling a few games that supported more than 60 FPS, I found the image to be extremely smooth and noticeably more responsive experience.
For the price point, this is an excellent monitor, and it obviously pairs extremely well with the HP Omen Gaming PC (which I used to test the monitor). As games get more and more visually intensive, you want to have a quality monitor such as this one to get the most out of games.
My friends are envious and are looking forward to getting one of these as well; they have been looking for a decent priced quality monitor with 144 Hz.

A nice vacuum, just not for everyone though
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
This is a good vacuum and will serve many well, but not quite everyone. I have a cluttered house, and for those who may also have a cluttered house, I don't think this is a great choice. Why? It bangs into things and gets stuck on different area carpets. Plus, it is a fairly large unit that requires valuable wall space near an electrical outlet for docking/charging.
Okay, that out of the way, I must say I like this unit. Besides the sturdy build of the unit, and the features you would expect for something like this, it is a pure engineering opus. It is so amazing, to see that something this advanced can be purchased to clean your home.
The dust bin is smaller, but please realize for some like me, this is not for doing your primary vacuuming (such as in my house, I have a long haired dog), but a supplemental vacuum, to get the finer details of what I miss when I do my daily vacuuming. It is very good at getting up dust and all that hair in places I don't always vacuum well, like under furniture, or in corners. This does that and it does it well.
My problem with a cluttered house, is that the vacuum has trouble trying to get around all of the non-stop obstacles. It is a smaller house, with lots of furniture, area rugs, and other things laying around. I came down and found my dog's water bowl in the hallway, and the plastic tray it sits on was in the living room - it was getting pushed around by the vacuum. I don't blame the vacuum, if it were to stop at every obstacle, it would get nothing done. The problem is that it bullies this stuff around a bit too hard and while necessary, causes things to get moved around when I wish it would not.
The vacuum is powerful for cleaning and does a great job. The app is sometimes frustrating, and I'm sure I'm not alone in my belief of this, but you don't need it to run this unit. The unit remote works great and is all you really need to control it. The cleaning modes are enough, and you can schedule when the unit will start. You can wash the filter that is at the dust bin. And you can just press and remove the dust bin without opening a cover or doing anything difficult. The wheels are cool, they allow the vacuum to climb up onto the many different area rugs I have laying around, but a few of the rugs are a bit of challenge.
If you have a less cluttered home, it will be a great choice for you. If you have a big hairy dog, and you vacuum before this robot gets started, you won't be disappointed. If you have a cluttered house, a hairy dog, and expect this to do everything without challenges, you might be disappointed. It isn't this units fault, others have failed in my house too.
But I can appreciate the unit, the much thought out features, and frankly the follow up to my daily vacuum routine providing a cleaner end result. I've gotten lazy and miss stuff, this helps me to get those details like corners, under furniture, etc. One of the most helpful feature, and this is a first I can recall, is that when it gets tired and needs a charge, it returns to the dock and recharges, then goes back to where it came from. That is helpful to let the cleaning process complete - and again, a first from the units I've tested.

Have realistic expectations and these are great!
on May 19, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
I've not been a headphone/headset person for music, because I prefer the sound of a high end speaker. I typically use headphones/headsets for phone long phone calls/phone conferences.
The problem with headsets/headphones is that the darn cord. And these headphones remove that obstacle. And they provide a very cool way of doing this with a headset band, or using them as earbuds without the band.
So, I charged them up and gave them a go. I was a bit disappointed because they sounded faint. So, I then read the directions and found they have a download available to increase the volume and other settings. You have to download the app to get decent sound out of these. I don't know why, but it seems without the app the phone is limiting the volume.
So, once the app is downloaded, the sound is good - not great, but good. And the mic works great too. I've been very happy with them and may use them for music whereas I wasn't doing that before, because they are cord free. They are small, light, and give you the option to put them in the headset band, which is really smart!
So, if you are setting your expectations properly, you'll be pleased. But if you expect high end audio from wireless bluetooth earbuds, I'd suggest your expectations may leave you a bit disappointed.
These come in a box that is a beautiful presentation box, suitable for gift giving with just a small amount of wrapping paper.

A really good cordless hair and beard trimmer
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
This is a really good hair and beard trimmer, but does not come with multiple attachments for other things. I believe this is the right decision, because too often when trying to do too many things, it becomes not very good any of the things.
Panasonic did a good job designing and building this cordless hair and beard trimmer. Why do I say this? There are quite a few things about it that I like, and only a couple of things I had wished were different. The unit is easy to hold and work through your hair. That is important because it isn't a tiny little machine but rather a unit that you can hold while you do your hair/beard (I used it to do my hair, I don't have a beard). The height adapter is firmly attached the unit feels sturdy and not like it is going to fall apart. The dial to adjust the height of the cut is sturdy and feels solid as you dial up and down the height selector. The on/off switch also feels very solid. And it cuts through hair like a hot knife through butter - this works really well. The charger base is without a cord, you sit the unit into the charger cradle, it sort of snaps in, and then sits there while it charges, without any cord to get tangled.
The things I don't like? There is no charging indicator or remaining battery life indicator on the tool itself. There is a charging light on the charging base (that plugs into an outlet). You won't know you that you don't have enough battery left to do your hair, until it runs out part way through. So it will require more frequent charging to ensure you don't run out. I wish it had a cord that ran between the charger and the unit, because as we have so many things to plug in and charge, having a free outlet that allows for this thing to stand up and charge is a bit of a challenge. In particular in a bathroom where I will keep this, those outlets are always charging a razor, tooth brushes, or even a nightlight.
Would I recommend this? Absolutely - it is the best cordless hair trimmer I've used in a number of years. I gave up trying to do my own hair, which I did for years, because I could not find a decent cordless trimmer that was easy to hold, sturdy, and with a wide enough head to keep this task to a minimum as far as going back through over and over again.
There is a small brush and oil that comes with the unit, which is great. I only wish it came with a little bag to keep everything in, especially since I don't want little pieces of hair all over the place and would rather than end up in the little bag.

This is a great router system, better than expectd
on May 2, 2017
Posted by: stevefromtheburbs
from PHILLY SUBURBS
After reading some reviews, I was hesitant and didn't have very high expectations. I can assure you that whatever was wrong before, has been resolved. I had this thing up and running in minutes, both the base and the extender unit.
The app is full featured enough for most, and then you can dig deeper into the programming via a web browser, even accessible via your phone. The system is protected with AVG, which I believe provides a level of protection that I have learned works well.
You can see a list of your devices, and you can rename them easily, so you can see at a glance how many devices are connected, then see the detailed list of what is connected. When I was adding new devices to it, I was getting alerts on my Apple Watch that a new device has joined the network. That is really cool. I don't know about you, but knowing what is on your network is important, in case a neighbor has found a way onto your network. This will alert you of new devices connecting, but also let you rename things on your network to real life names, not IP addresses or mac addresses. And you can easily block something you don't know what it is, and when you do figure it out, you can easily unblock it. Very very cool. All of this can be done via the app.
You can also setup users, and limit what they can do. For this, think of parental controls. You can also have a guest network, and limit what they can do as well. This prevents someone from making bad decisions on your network and your internet service. There are schedules and logging, but those are a bit more involved to set up.
I found myself venturing into the web browser based programming through my phone's browser, where there were many setup options, status of the extender and signal strength, and a whole lot more, some things I didn't really understand but were for advanced network people.
The access code for this is shown when you go to connect through the app, to the advanced settings. Very cool - oh, and you can change that code if you want.
This is dual band, 2.4 and 5 GHz. You can do A, AC, G, N and B wireless transmission standards, It has a network jack on the back of the extender, if you don't have a WIFI card on something away from the base and you don't want to have to run a network cable from the base. There is a USB jack on the back of the main router for use with a hard drive, or printer.
I was quite impressed with the speeds coming off the expander and the base. Both came in with perfect speeds, no loss on either the base or the extender. Typically the extenders on systems like this can be slower than the base - not in this case.
The only thing I can say I didn't like, but really this is a small thing, the LED lights on the units are not very bright. There aren't but a light you can see when it is sitting normally, and an identical LED underneath. I'm not sure why, but I guess if you were standing it up you'd see it? But they are both very dim and that is a small frustration. Small though.
The app is really the hidden gem with this, and the fact you can see who is on your network at any given time, using the app. That is worth alot to me and one of the most valuable things about this.
It is rated at up to 15,000 square feet, however my place isn't that big. I do know I was able to get good WIFI outside of my house, and that is cool - I can be in my car in front of my house, or out back, and still be able to use WIFI without any issues. Typical dead spots, or devices that have a hard time connecting because of weak WIFI radios, seemed to be non-issues with this router and extender. Probably for most, this will fit the bill with only the base and extender.
As for price, you really cannot beat this, and my experiences from setup, to use, compatibility with many different devices, etc. has been nothing short of amazing.

Perfect for taking a peak in on things
By Jahnjays from Chicago
I got this camera for keeping an eye on my parents, they are older and at risk for falling and other issues, this camera has already paid for itself ten times over! Not only does it give you a sense of security, it also gives my parents a peace of mind known that they are not alone and are being watched, unfortunately my father has fallen twice in the time I bought this camera, it allowed me to see him on the floor and I was able to race home to help him up, if it wasn't for the camera who knows how long he would have been laying there. The picture is not perfect but more than good enough, I actually leave it in Night Vision mode and the picture is great, also the microphone is impressively good. You are able to rotate the camera via your smart phone or computer, it's a little slow but over all I have no complaints. Well worth the money, I went out and bought 2 more for the rest of the house, the smart phone app is very easy to use, set up was a little bit of a pain, I'd say 1 hour but again, not bad. Honestly the best thing I have bought in years and I buy a lot.

What if a vacuum was so advanced it could sense the type of floor it’s cleaning? BISSELL SurfaceSense Pet vacuum can! Its intelligent SurfaceSense Technology can detect floor types and automatically adjust the brush roll speed to give you optimal cleaning performance on any floor type. It’s also our first vacuum with a Tangle-Free, Multi-Surface Brush Roll which has stiff bristles for cleaning carpet and soft bristles for vacuuming hard floors, so it can pick up everything from fine dust to larger debris across all floor types. SurfaceSense Pet vacuum has a One Touch, Easy Empty dirt tank and a SmartSeal Allergen System that traps fine dust and allergens while you clean. The LED headlights illuminate hidden dirt and debris while the Quick Release Extension Wand and above floor tools work together to clean hard-to-reach spaces, like upholstery and stairs. And this vacuum doesn’t just clean up after pets, it helps save them, too! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets. We’re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.
 

Is this a self-propelled vacuum? Is there a Bissell that is?

Not self propelled but is easy to maneuver because it has such a strong beater bar that kind of pulls it along. Bissell does not make a self propelled model that I am aware of.

How many filters does this have. Are they washable

This has a single cylindrical filter that is not washable. You can however, vacuum the exterior of the filter, to increase longevity of the filter.

Can you disable audio recording for these?

You can turn that feature off, but can also turn on the privacy shield to turn off video and audio by using an actual physical filter. Or you can simply turn off the mic function and nothing will be recorded. You can keep the speaker function, in case you want to say something, but turn off the mic function so your conversations won't be overheard.

Protect your home while away without comprising your privacy when at home. Arlo Essential Indoor Camera captures 1080p video and offers a way to reassure your privacy with an automated privacy shield, controllable through the Arlo App. Receive motion alerts directly to your phone and use 2-way audio to hear and speak to visitors. See at night, with black and white night vision. Connect directly to Wi-Fi for easy setup. Get notifications on your smartphone when your camera spots people or animals, and view recorded video clips directly from your phone, with a trial of included Arlo Secure¹.
 

How do I look up past recordings on the camera

In the app, you can go to the recorded library of images. If you don't have any, I'd ask if you set up any of the rules to get this to record. If not, you have to set up the things ou want to do and when, to get it to record. This is somewhat easier said than done, but it is better than it used to be. Contact tech support for help if needed.

On the Arlo Essential, can the IR be turned off? I’d like to position it behind glass.

Yes, you simply turn off the "night vision" option in video settings. See the pic below that shows the option and where it is.

In the app, you simply do "add camera" and go through the instructions. Easy peasy. Takes about 30 seconds to add.

This LG CordZero vacuum has everything you want, from Kompressor technology that lets you clean more and empty less, to two rechargeable batteries that deliver up to 120 minutes¹ of uninterrupted cleaning. But why stop there? The Power Mop attachment gives hard floors a perfect finish—without messy buckets or harmful chemicals. Simply fill the reservoir with water, snap on the attachment and go.
 

Is the charger compatible with 220 V?

It comes with a 110 plug only with no adapters or anything included to make it 220.

Can this vacuum be used on concrete floors?

I'm sure it can be, it can be used on any hard or carpeted surface. It has a unique roller bar that is neither too hard or too soft, and should work just fine.

Would the mop attachment work on the previous CordZero model?

I'm confident they are interchangeable. As long as the connector looks the same, it'll work with it.

Can i use old a9 by attached A9 wet mop unit

I'm sure you can, as long as it is the same connection. The mop unit just swirls the cloth pads around and drips water out so it can be a kind of wet dust mop. It uses the power from the wand to do it. But it does not vacuum up anything, when in this mode.
