Solid and Economical Home Printer
on April 22, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This is a very capable all-in-one printer. HP has the lead in proper packaging. Getting the printer ready to install is very intuitive. Those engineers on the packaging and physical design teams are top notch. This printer does not have an LCD touch screen but does have a simple and effective button interface to control the printer functions. The install is easier than any printers I have ever used, again HP shows leadership in this ‘getting started’ arena. You can use your cell phone or a computer. I chose the computer this time and followed the HP Smart Software to do the install without a hitch. I pinned the software to my taskbar to easily open any of my HP printers and add or delete printers – very well done by HP - tip of my cap. HP came up with a concept for this printer that they call the ‘smart control panel’ such that buttons appear only when needed – wonderful, clean look and intuitive. I was amazed that I never had to enter my WiFi password but I could see the proper security was in place during the installation so no concerns here. Actually this is the first printer I have seen with the 5.0 ghz WiFi choice, another area HP is a leader.
You do need to create an HP account in order for all functions to work. This is not difficult and is also necessary to join the low priced auto-ink ordering. I am finding that HP’s innovation here while at first disconcerting is actually very fair and economical i.e. the best way to manage your ink supply.
This relatively economically priced printer is excellent for all functions. I find HP’s web site has all kinds of reference material and some of it is linked in your HP Smart software displays – it is easy to find and very well written. HP runs the whole gamut from solid/great printers, excellent support and the newest technology. I should say I priced out ink costs and this unit uses just two cartridges a black and a multicolor and is a little more economical than printers with 4 cartridges for example. The ink pricing is lower than comparable printers in terms of quality of print outs. In fairness the colors are not as bright as printers that cost 2 or 3 times as much, but for home use this is a great choice and I do recommend it.

Excellent Power, Major Flaw
on April 22, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This vacuum is light and super powerful. I have used 8 different cordless vacuums and this one is by far the most powerful. It is also the most expensive. It has several attachments including a UV brush head that kills germs with ultraviolet blue light. It is hard to tell if this actually works, however the technology is sound so I believe it does work to disinfect.
I do like the ability to construct it as a hand vacuum. This allowed me to use it easily in the car and with it’s power it is the only cordless vacuum that actually cleaned the car floor and mats.
It does not stand upright without support, however the unit comes with a very nice wall bracket that will hold the unit and it’s accessories – very good idea.
I did like the design of the non-UV power head which had two power driven cleaning brushes and is excellent for non-carpet floors especially.
One major downside is the mechanical design of how you connect the power heads and the other accessories. Normally when you connect items, the best design is to enable a part to slide on without any other action than just moving the parts together, and they lock after they connect. In the case of this design you must hold a button down then push the parts together and release the button. What happened to me in a couple instances was I pushed the power head onto the shaft without pressing the button fully, the button popped off and it took me 20 minutes to find the little spring that hopped out. The design is weak in that it should have a bevel that allows the part to be put on, without pressing the button. When removing two parts it is normal to have to press a button to release one from the other. This is a very important problem since I believe many people will knock the button and tiny spring off within a few days and lose the spring. Now the power head for example is free to drop off at any time. I am taking two stars off because, at the price of this vacuum, this is a very cheap design point. I can’t recommend this vacuum due to this flaw. The engineers need to fix this in the next iteration of this vacuum, then it would be 5+ stars since it is light and yet very powerful.

Great for Beard Trim or Haircut
on April 4, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This is a higher quality trimmer, I have used the cheaper ones from the supermarket and this one indeed trimmed my beard much better and more evenly with fewer passes. It is easy to clean and has a very simple ‘height of beard’ adjustment. Actually I also use it to cut my hair. Since the pandemic I started cutting my own hair and this unit now makes the job much easier. I can dial in the correct side length and it smoothly goes over my ears and back of the head. I adjust it higher and cut the top of the head. Works great. I do recommend it because it cuts cleanly and the shape allows me to hold it at the correct angle for a beard trim or for a haircut. Another plus is that it is rechargeable so no cord needed and can be used in the shower. Great product.

Absolutely Smooth and Fast
on March 31, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This 60% mechanical keyboard has the speed and smoothness needed for any game. It does require some practice due to the size and lack of some keys. No shortcuts were taken by Corsair as the Cherry MX switches are super. There is 8GB of onboard storage for holding macros and also light settings.
Be sure to load the correct iCue software as this keyboard requires the more robust 4.9.350 level and I did accidently load the wrong software since there is also a K65 RGB ‘non-mini’ – no harm since that software won’t recognize this keyboard.
This software is brilliant. Detection of the device is instantaneous. You have complete software control for key assignments, lighting assignments, and device settings. It comes with some super looking default lighting effects as well. Your hardware key assignments remain even if the software is closed. Of course you can construct macros. You also have hardware control even if you don’t use the software; but to really gain the benefits of this keyboard the software will certainly facilitate your setup.
If you want a gaming mechanical keyboard that is also portable and takes less space, this may be the one for you. It does have a detachable USB cable.
The quality is solid and both feel and speed of the keys are perfect, no more missed key strokes. I updated the firmware from v.0.12.26 to v.0.14.28. I also set the speed to the most powerful i.e. 8000Hz polling rate – this does require a high performance computer. I’m not a good enough gamer to challenge that speed for sure, so I set it back. I was not able to find any problems with the software - nice.
I do recommend this for those who have the skills to construct the macros, play very powerful games and like the smaller footprint. It is a beautiful and solid addition to anyone’s arsenal of equipment.

Very Crisp Sound in Perfect Sync with Video
on March 20, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Soundslayer had very crisp sound, incuding lots of bass; and stayed in sync with either games or YouTube videos as to video and sound. Often, cheaper units have a delay with the singer-video and the audio and with this device this never occurred. Of course with gaming this is a ‘must’ feature – so highest marks here.
I did pair a gaming laptop and desktop as well as a cell phone with the Soundslayer. All machines eventually paired, but in every case it took a few cycles of moving Bluetooth off and on to finally see the Soundslayer in the list of items to pair; so this was a minor annoyance.
I also used HDMI cables to connect the Soundslayer. Whether Bluetooth or cabled, the speaker performed excellent.
The sound was terrific and really enhanced game playing, I never heard my motorsports game so precise where you could hear all the different sounds coming from the small speakers. This unit is relatively heavy and this heft attests to the power of the speakers inside. I didn’t hear a lot of difference between the 4 sound modes, but there were better highs in game mode per my ears.
I’ve attached a photo to show how nice the unit fits under this 32” monitor which is a big plus so that it is basically out of the way when playing games or listening to music. Movies were wonderful to hear with such clarity in the sound. I played some classical music and it was far better with this unit than with other various speakers I tried.
I do highly recommend this unit, it is worth the extra cost to get a unit that obviously is more than just speakers since the engineers have built in the electronics to create a better game environment. Great.

Improved Power and Design
on March 11, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, Fl
I already had an older model of this Bissell vacuum so I compared the two. The new model has improved all the features that are important. The assembly is easier and comes with a more clear setup guide. The accessories fit more snugly. The power is super. There is a simple adjustment to allow the suction to be raised or lowered. The lift-away release is easier to accomplish since the lever is more effective and more visable. I like how the hose can detach even without lifting the unit apart and now you can do drapes more easily and also clean couch cushions too. The cleanout process is also so easy that I find I just knock out the dust and dirt after every cleaning cycle in the house. The lights in front are brighter than any vacuum I have ever used and I have tried more than a dozen. Getting dog hair up is a breeze and you do see quite a clump in the canister. In short, this vacuum is well designed with the power needed to get dust, dirt, pet hair and to be quite honest - even pull up dead bugs and cobwebs from the corners. I do highly recommend it.

Excellent Value and Multi-Purpose
on February 20, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This is an excellent gaming laptop especially based on the price/performance factors. I found it does have less capabilities when compared to the top of the line machines, but is less than ½ the price. I also felt the overall design points provided a very nice machine for everyday use as well. Running a few powerful games showed a gaming environment that was excellent from the graphics perspective, keyboard touch and speed; although I did wish for a better on-board audio.
I also found that for other uses, this unit with it’s very strong specifications was super fast using MS Office products, streaming videos and other everyday functions. Great wireless and nice antenna. I found with a 400 Mbs internet speed max that while running wireless this unit tested out several times at over 385 Mbs – very nice. Also the 1080p 240Hz panel provides some ‘future proof’ capability for those of us who can’t afford a new machine as often. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is another highlight; along with 16GB and 1TB SSD, and Intel 11th Gen i7. In fact trying to price a machine with the spec’s of this ASUS - TUF 15.6" Gaming Laptop seemed to prove this PC is a very real bargain.
Physically the unit is very thin, and built solid. The bottom panel will come off easily with normal tools, not much need for my fix-it special tools. A few improvements would be a webcam, please don’t solder any of the memory in, and improve as mentioned the on-board audio punch. I get why the power cord enters in the middle of the left side, I’d prefer that so that the cooling capabilities are optimal – so I think that was a good design tradeoff. I actually liked the soft greenish backlight for the keyboards, it stops me from trying multiple combinations (which just wastes my time) and the one color does the job perfect; it is a great color choice as well as enough brightness options by the designers.
The Armory Crate software was fine. I did have a little trouble upgrading the BIOS which was my fault, since I forgot to plug the unit in, my bad. I mention it because I kept trying it and restarting and maybe my comment will help other absent-minded folks like me. I did add a 1080P J5 Create webcam which worked perfectly - model JVCU100.
I highly recommend this unit as a mid-range gaming machine which should be fine for all except the pro gamers. It can be your everyday laptop as well as your gaming box. Very well done ASUS.

Does Not Pickup Weaker Signals
on February 7, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
I set this up indoors and it did not receive weaker channels. The movement of the rabbit ears did not have much effect. If you are in an area where TV signals are very strong, you could use this antenna to enjoy clear TV pictures for over the air channels. However if you are in a fringe area, this antenna will disappoint you. I would advise paying more for a better antenna.

Super Fast Scanning
on January 27, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Excellent scanner, solid construction, super fast scanning, double sided (in one pass) and a very friendly user interface. If you are used to using a printer that can scan documents, you will never do that again if you have this type of scanner. In only a few seconds an 8 ½ by 11 inch page is scanned. It also can scan a stack of documents, or legal size etc. One very nice feature to save paper and time is it can scan both sides of a page in one pass – wow.
One minor thing to be aware is that you have to be sure you load the software for the ES-400 II. My error but I went to the ES-400 site and the software did download but it did not work. I was puzzled for a minute then realized my error; just avoid that mistake. When I simply googled the software for Epson ES-400-II, I got to the correct site and everything went smooth, note it will say ES-400II lite. The ScanSmart Software2 is very easy to use and fully functioned.
This is a high quality product but the price is in range for home users; although I expect business users would benefit more from its speed and versatility. I do recommend this product highly.

Very Bright and Well Designed
on January 19, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Epson EX3280 follows the EX3260 with some improvements and some puzzling regressive design points. It has a similar compact footprint which fits easily on a conference room table. The EX3280 however does have a little smaller footprint and weighs a little less than the EX3260 - nice work by the Epson Engineers. There are remarkable improvements in white brightness, color brightness and resolution. I did a comparison of the EX3280 versus the EX3260 and it is obvious it is sharper, brighter and easier to correct the keystone effect. Powerpoint presentations looked quite a bit sharper with text better defined. Running YouTube videos and even movies was much better than the previous model as well. The EX3280 is XGA and the EX3260 is VGA so that is part of the improvement. The lens protector which also served as an A/V mute was removed so that is a backwards move from the EX3260. The USB wireless port was also gone, but I do think that Epson realized most people were just connecting via HDMI since wireless connectivity in a business conference room is more important for projectors that are mounted on the ceiling wher e this unit would not be mounted; still I wish the USB WiFi dongle port had stayed. The laser pointer on the remote is missing from the EX3280 also. The VGA port is still there in case you have an older laptop. I did test the VGA, HDMI and USB-B port and all worked perfectly.
At this price point, this is a steal and I think everyone from business folks to home movie advocates would enjoy this solid, well designed and very functional projector, even for TV viewing.

Stream instant content easily with this LG BP550 Blu-ray player. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

4 out of 5
4 out of 5Great Blu-Ray DVD Player for the money
By JulieAS
After buying this product, I am both pleased yet a little disappointed! I needed another player to replace my 5 year old Sony 3-D player (also bought at BB) because it was no longer compatible with YouTube. Since my TV is an LG, I decided to buy an LG player.
The LG BP550 is smaller than my older Sony (another reason I chose it) and has fewer apps but I really didn't care about that as long as YouTube worked and that it also had Netflix and HuluPlus apps. Hooking it up and installing it was quick and easy and completing the system update was also a breeze! Already on sale, I saw it was also available as an Open-Box item so I thought I could save even more buying it at that option...NOT!
Advertised as 'Open-Box Excellent Condition' I ordered it on May 13th and it arrived on the 15th - without the remote! Maybe I shouldn't have assumed that an item labeled as "Returned, used as display model in store, or opened due to packaging damage but remains in like-new condition" meant or means that all accessories, cables, manuals, remotes, etc. are included.
Fortunately, my TV remote was able to do some of the basic stuff for installing and some playback features but that's it. So I make a call to BB and learn that the 4-yr Protection Plan I paid for would not cover this missing remote and was then advised to call LG for a 'free' replacement.
Customer service at LG then directed me to call their authorized parts dealer for my time zone. Of course, they were closed on Saturday and Sunday!
I called the parts dealer today (18th) and was told to contact the retailer since I'd "recently purchased the item and it should be returnable/replaceable under warranty". I explained that I had been informed that it was not and that I was told to call them by both BB and LG!
Subsequently, I was given the part number and price for a replacement remote!
Well it looks as if buying Open-Box didn't save me much, if anything, after all since the replacement remote has to be paid for out of my pocket!
I may be better off returning this player and buying a NEW one instead!
I may be better off returning this player and buying a NEW one instead!
However, I must say that I do like the player for what features I have been able to access while using my TV remote! I look forward to obtaining the full benefits and features when using the actual remote control for the BP550!

Remote Replacement
May 28, 2015
It's not ideal but if you are missing a remote and/or lose or break it, you can easily download a smartphone app to run it. You could also program a multi device remote like the Harmony 650 which I did. So nowadays a missing remote is not a show stopper but I agree it should have not been missing.

2 out of 5Great box - poor fonts
By Jasonrn
I purchased this with great excitement. I mostly do everyday things, with an evergrowing photo collection. I bought Adobe creative cloud and was ready to go. Fired it up and was shocked at how bad the text looks. I have tried many different settings. I don't know if it is a scaling thing? I love everything else about the unit. Photos look great. I dont game.
The text issue is varies. Some apps, it looks fine... others - terrible. Also, some apps don't scale well at all on the 4K screen.
May return the unit and get a laptop I can plug a second monitor in for my photo work.

Fix for fonts didn't install
November 3, 2015
The expert pointed to a download and it did not install. I'm glad since I think you just need to go to settings and find the 'cleartype text' setting and run through it to make fonts great. Also I see many of the apps will fix drivers and so forth so there is a learning curve now to see how to run these machines.

This AIO has superior resolution to others. Some reviews spoke about a text problem, however you can improve the text via going to settings, display, advanced and 'cleartype text' and follow the steps. Also has 3D display capability which is good for future needs for me. Sound is nice with Jensen speakers. Touch screen is great. WIFI is super and has both 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges with Wireless AC. Very quiet fan. Lenovo support has regressed but is do-able I asked a simple question and the tech had no idea, also the website seems broken in the support area; glad I got Geek Squad.

Tips For Better Text on AIO 700
November 4, 2015
I've played with the font's and you may also want to scale text or make it bold for example if you use Windows Live (you can do that within Display Settings). The other tip is that the text is very clear but small so you may find that enlarging text by hitting Ctrl and + (together) once or twice will make some things easier to read. You hit Ctrl and - together to reduce. I didn't use those commands as often on other machines, but it is beautiful to use at times on this machine. By the way videos are wonderful if you use something like Amazon Prime video etc WOW

Lenovo Fix for AIO 700 24ISH
November 5, 2015
Jason, I did think ClearType helped a little but the scaling and putting 'bold' on helped more. I did see the fix that Lenovo posted. First I flashed the BIOS which they also posted as of 9/10/15. However when I tried their special fix for the font scaling it is an .rar file and I had to load WinZip (free version for now) but it did unpack it. However I never saw it run successfully as it always returned an error code. I am going to call Lenovo on that but the text looks pretty good so maybe it actually ran. I'll post an update on that. By the way the support at Lenovo is abysmal.

It worked for a few hours right out of the box. Then I noticed the screen flashing and the graphics cards crashing. After a reset it freezes after 5 minutes of use. Not sure if it's the pc itself or driver issues with Windows 10, either way it's not worth the trouble. If they can fix these issues then it is absolutely worth the price.

Try Driver Updates & Flash BIOS
November 5, 2015
If you still have it and if it will stay up long enough, I'd say go to Lenovo's web site and download the newest BIOS, it's easy to update BIOS now. Then go into Device Manager and update both Display drivers. If you bought an open box, I'd also try to reload the whole machine to the factory settings (or BestBuy should do that for you). But if you go to the apps, the app called Lenovo Rescue System will do it for you pretty easily. Then do the stuff I mentioned above.

Checked on Font Scaling Fix
November 5, 2015
I couldn't get the download from Lenovo's website to install. I downloaded and unpacked the fix, but it returned an error code when I ran it. I spent 40 minutes with Lenovo 1st and 2nd level support. They pretty much had no info on this fix. They didn't open a problem ticket 8005969635. Also their website said you should post a request online to have them call you back, but their process was broken in that area also. Full disclosure: even without this fix, the screen looks awesome to me.

Successful Adjustments for FONTS
November 5, 2015
Lots of people had problems with the fonts on this 4K hi-def screen. Lenovo support was useless but Geek Squad fixed me right up via remote connection. It might be something others know, but judging by the reviews most people including me just didn't really understand. There are lots of modifications to DISPLAY parameters but what most people should do if they are using this screen for apps like Windows Live is to change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 and change the scaling to 125%. Now everything is beautiful. If you do want to watch a movie in high def, then put it back to 3840x2160 and set scaling to 200%. What is confusing is that there is a choice for 2560x1600 but this is not the same ratio as the screen size so you get bars on each side which you probably don't want - I should have seen this but the Geek Squad enlightened me. Now as to the patch from Lenovo for font scaling, you probably don't need it nor would it do much I am sure. So kudos to the Geek Squad and thanks. It is an awesome machine and in fact even the lower resolution is more than any other PC I have ever had.

Thanks for Posting Info on Font Patch from Lenovo
November 6, 2015
JasoninNJ, thanks for posting your comment that installing the Lenovo patch to help font scaling toasted the machine. I won't try again to install it. As I mentioned I don't think it is needed. There will be more ultra HD computer screens and I'm guessing they will add automated switching to show videos in HD but do the rest of your PC work with the lower resolution which is excellent when viewing text.

Text Display Improvement
November 16, 2015
After playing with various settings I have some hopefully helpful feedback. First of all don't use the 3840x2160 unless you are streaming video, it makes text bad. Also don't use 2560x1600 since it is not a multiple of the 3840x2160 i.e. you'll get bars on both sides of the screen. Do use the 1920x1080 which is also hi-def and fits this screen dimensions properly. Now if you want text a little bigger then go to 'set custom scaling level' and use 110% or 115%; this makes nice readable text. Now here's a quirk I see lots of people having and not just on this PC or brand for Windows 10. You may see occasional video card errors and once in a while the machine may not IPL (just power off and try again it will come up). I think the problem is the video card doesn't get back fast enough to the CPU, and the video card crashes but does recover. Not a problem unless you are playing PC high powered games. So I don't recommend this machine for games, but video streaming and apps like Corel Photoshop are great. Now what you can do to minimize or eliminate the video card crashes (remember it happens on lots of machines with Windows 10, so there will be a fix soon I think). Anyway go to Control Panel and search for 'visual effects', then click on adjust the appearance and performance of Windows. Then select 'Custom' and click the box next to 'smooth edges of screen fonts'. If you optimize for 'best appearance' entirely or for let 'windows choose'... that's when the video card may not keep up I think. If you optimize for 'best'performance' the text looks horrible. Anyway the 'custom' settings work for me to give me nice text and no crashes. This is a stretch but I think the engineers knew there could be a problem, that's why they tried to put in the super high powered video cards, but not good enough for now, I do think this will get fixed by Windows 10 OS soon. This machine for it's price is tremendous and I think worth this minor glitch.

Good News to Add
December 8, 2015
I wanted to update my review to indicate that a frequent display driver error that said "...Intel Video adapter stopped working but recovered...", has stopped occurring after about 1 week ago when a pretty big Windows 10 update came out. It was never a killer for me since I don't play games but when I googled it, I did see that it was fairly common on many PC's - that's good since it appears Microsoft fixed it. Note there are two video adapters in this machine but the Nvidia one was not failing.

RalphHenry has not submitted any questions.
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?
It does not get the OTA channels over the internet. You would use the same OTA antenna you may be using with a 'converter' box. There is a 75 ohm cable connector on the SlingTV box and that is where you connect the OTA antenna. This replaces the converter box you may know but has the ability to also get streaming content for channels you subscribe to via the SlingTV account and also Netflix etc. The beauty is you can integrate all these sources of content into one 'MyTV' listing if you like, and be able to see a guide to what's on on the subset of channels you like (or all the channels from all sources if you like). Pretty neat.

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
This looks like the same thermostat a professional installed at my last home. I'd like to add one to another zone in the same residence. Is the version sold and installed by HVAC companies the same as the one sold at Best Buy?
I can only say that the one the professional installed for my sister with her new furnace was the Honeywell Lyric T5 at $150 or so. This one is $200. Both are hooked up exactly the same way. Both have WiFi. I think the $200 looks sharper, felt sturdier and has some more advanced features but either one can program AC/Heat. Both are sold by Best Buy. Your professional will install this one if you buy it and tell him to use this nicer one.

Only at Best BuyExperience crystal clear sound for music and movies without the tangled wiring with this Insignia Bluetooth speaker system. A multifunctional control pod puts volume and balance in the palm of your hand, and the included subwoofer delivers spot-on bass. This Insignia Bluetooth speaker system is compatible with enabled smartphones and tablets.
Hi, I just brought these speakers and it appears that the right speaker is not working some reason. And it appears that my tv is picking up the speaker. I mean it is not showing up in the devices. Can you help me?
My guess on the right speaker missing is that your jack is worn and maybe only one of the stereo channels is getting connected on one end or the other - try a new patch cord. I didn't have a problem pairing this with a PC and an android phone, so I'm guessing you need to be sure the TV is looking for any Bluetooth devices. You don't say whether the Audio Pro paired with your phone for example? When I have trouble pairing I power on/off both devices sometimes that helps. Also don't hit the pair button a bunch of times, just hit it once. Hope this helps.
