Very Smooth Operation and High Quality
on April 28, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The R10 lock is very well designed and works smoothly. One point to make clear is that you must open the door more than 45 degrees during the calibration process, or the calibration might fail. I saw another review that said the calibration failed then suddenly worked. I suspect that reviewer opened more than 45 degrees when he saw it suddenly work.
The lock is easy to install, you most likely will want to use the adhesive strip on the main unit (inside portion) so that it is tightly installed. The keypad works perfectly. The app has an excellent user interface. You will need to identify the type of lock pin you have and use the correct adapter of which several adapters are included. The instructions are well done.
This device uses part of your original lock including the bolt and outside key slot. This is genius since now you don't need a different key for unlocking manually. Another important design point is having both Bluetooth and WiFi so that this lock can be operated from anywhere; not just right up next to the device – very nice for a lock in this very reasonable price range.
I did call support for help and the phone was answered within a minute and the customer support rep was excellent. Also eufy support sent me emails to assist installation, always with short turnaround time. Since I managed Help Desks at one time, I recognized an efficient operation with well trained technicians who were smart, courteous and patient.
This lock is designed well with the latest technology and also attractively designed. Tip of the cap to the engineering that went into this lock. I would definitely recommend this company and this very smart lock.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Innovative and Great Audio
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Oh yes, these are super comfortable. No heating up of my ears like headphones and not any discomfort from earbuds because they go right on your shoulders. The unit is light and actually provides added sense in that you can feel the vibration as well as hear the sound.
If you are looking to create an environment where you isolate the sound to just yourself, of course, this is not the correct unit. But if you have the freedom to use these phones where you can relax and let the sound surround you, then this is a very unique and wonderful way to listen to music or gaming. The real boom comes from gaming though. When gaming you really feel the zaps and booms and crashes. Very realistic step up for gaming I thought.
There are two mic’s, noise cancellation and echo cancellation. The 4 channel sound is aimed at your head for lack of a better description – tip of the cap to the design engineers for that as it is fantastic. You can mute the sound and the mic naturally. You can hear outside sounds but I didn’t find a nearby TV a distraction because you are focused on the game or your own music.
There are six sound modes (a button will cycle through them). Including 3 game modes for role playing, shooter and voice enhancement. But don’t sell short the music modes of normal and cinema. Very nice sound programming, another tip of the cap to the engineers. This unit is amazing.
The unit itself is rugged, solid and stylish but the most important aspects are the functional ones I mentioned. I do highly recommend this product.

Easy 5-Star for Quality and Comfort
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Serta Sheep Retreat (medium 10”) is very comfortable. I used it on a platform bed base. It is made of gel memory foam which does prevent the over-heating that memory foam mattresses used to have – this is the most important point of these types of mattresses. So that is very good. The gel foam is so much better than the old memory foam that I would be very careful to ensure your mattress is like this one and has the gel beads in the memory foam.
This mattress has the medium softness that I prefer; and I would avoid a very soft foam mattress since a very soft mattress may compress too much and cause some over-heating at night with or without the gel bead composition. My opinion is that you want medium or firm gel memory foam. One last point on softness/firmness - over time you may feel a mattress is too soft or too firm. With a 10 inch mattress you are able to add a 2-inch mattress topper with more or less firmness. If you have a 12 inch mattress then it is a bit more difficult to add a topper since you may be making the mattress too high too sit on the edge. So that’s another reason I think 10” is a good depth to use. But that’s only my personal experience.
The delivery in a box is great. But I would recommend a small hand truck to move it around in the box as it is a bit heavy for one person to move.
The materials are top-notch on this mattress. You will need to let the mattress decompress once you get it out of the bag and into the fresh air. It won’t reach the full 10 inch depth till about a full week out of the plastic bag that it is vacuum sealed in. This is a three-core mattress that provides better support and comfort so you do need to let each layer fluff up. I noticed that the top edge of the mattress was at first a little S-shaped, but after 10 days it straightened out. The mattress is rolled up when it comes out of the box so that may cause various temporary distortions.
I do recommend this mattress very highly. It ticked all the boxes for me and I just love it over my old mattress.

Just Right Size and Excellent Design
on January 26, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Lucid Hearing Bluetooth HearMuffs work effectively. But a very important question is if an infant or toddler would rip them right off one way or another. However, if you put them in use frequently but not for long sessions at first, the toddlers seem to get used to them. The best uses were for situations with loud woodworking machinery, loud music and lullaby time.
Outside sound is muffled as I did some testing on my own head one ear at a time. The option to connect Bluetooth is genius. Here you can pick the type of music the toddler or infant will hear. Obvious is lullabies and that proved to be a good sleep inducer as you might think. I did take the headphones off after infant went to sleep.
I also felt the unit was rugged, it is not a toy. The headset doesn’t have any loose parts that could get swallowed, very nice safe design. The headset has quite a bit of size adjustment.
I did find on the set I have that the extension of the headband took quite a bit of force to pull it out. This may be as designed so that once set, the toddler can’t readjust them easily. I do feel this is not a problem but rather an excellent design point from the engineers – tip of the cap to them.
I do recommend this headset.

Great Design and Customizable
on January 19, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Wired gaming mouse is top notch. It has smooth switches and the included weights add a really nice and simple way to personalize the mouse to just the right feel for a particular user.
I have used many difference mice and this one has the smoothest scroll bar that never seems to cause me any problems. This is an area where many mice fall short but this unit is excellent.
This mouse of course is great for gaming and you can adjust the DPI via two buttons on top of the mouse or you can use the iCUE app. I did also use the app to update the firmware. Be aware that you are instructed to connect the mouse directly to your PC and not via a dock or USB hub when you update firmware.
I did try the mouse with and without the weights and for me the weights added an ability to ‘feel’ the mouse more when sliding or lifting; but this will be a subjective point of view. Good news here is that you have the option to add or remove weights.
This mouse has a Target button on the left side which reduces your sensitivity to a lower level for more precise mouse movements when needed. The iCUE app will allow you to program the buttons on your mouse. The app will also give you some neat lighting options to have fun with.
This excellent mouse is built rock solid, has a great feel in your hand, very crisp switches and with the iCUE app has plenty of versatility. I highly recommend this jewel of a mouse.

Superior Laptop at This Price-point
on January 14, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
I’ll start by saying that the MSI - Delta 15.6" FHD 240hz Gaming Laptop with Ryzen R7-5800 and Radeon RX6700M, is a steal at the listed price. Human perception is hard pressed to see the difference in speed so I did rely on looking at some researched numbers and suffice to say that a gaming laptop with twice the price can perform about 1% faster based on published benchmarks using the same DDR4 memory and that was in single core performance. Multi-core results showed this machine as almost 5% faster compared to some higher priced machines with different CPU's.
As I say human perception may not note these differences. This laptop is top notch quality and the design is beautiful. Backlit keyboard is absolutely spot on with no glare yet easily seen keys – which is not always true with backlit keyboards that blast the light out or disappear when you lower the lumens; MSI engineers got it just right. Metal chassis is strong and ensures the keyboard and touchpad have a solid base – very nice. I actually felt the touchpad was the best I’ve used in terms of smoothness and the left/right clicks. Speakers were okay, but not great.
This baby is backed by 10GB GDDR6 dedicated video memory and internal 16 GB memory and a whopping 1TB SSD. Yikes great specs. The screen is gorgeous with vibrant colors and of course super fast color changes when I used several different PC games.
I did have to update to Windows 11, but it was very quick. I should mention the IPL time from off to fully operational was mere seconds. I also updated the BIOS to get everything totally up to date. I did uninstall the existing Norton and reinstalled my own Norton since the installed version was only a 2 month trial. By the way I tried to update the installed Norton with my own key but it got confused so that’s why I uninstalled the pre-installed version (in case this point helps someone).
The fan is a little loud at times. You can utilize the MSI Center Software to calibrate fan speed and more. But I let the machine find its own level since it wasn’t all that loud and I wanted to ensure the best cooling for a laptop with such a powerful CPU and GPU lineup.
I would highly recommend this powerhouse gamer. MSI has produced a fantastic machine at this price point.

Comfort and Quality
on December 16, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Very nice lightweight headphones. I noticed a different design whereby there is an adjustable fabric headband underneath the plastic part that goes over your head. The headband is a soft elastic fabric that will stretch to fit your head snugly but not too tight. I was amazed at the comfort of this design, so I tip my cap to the engineers who came up with this idea – well done.
Sound is great using the included dongle to connect to a PC which I used. Very important, the earpads are super soft and large enough to fit over my older-man ears. I wear glasses and the pads accommodated my glasses with absolutely no pinching while gaming or just listening to music.
The flip up mic bar worked perfectly as well. I highly recommend these headphones as sturdy but soft with battery life that is over 40 hours per my testing; though the spec is 33 hour battery life. Great price for these quality headphones too.

Quiet and Effectively Cleans Air
on December 4, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
I first noticed how quiet this air cleaner is. It is barely audible on low speed. It does have three speeds if you want to clean the air faster, the upper speeds are louder since the fan is moving faster of course. However the sound is smooth just louder.
The air filter is very robust for the size of this unit, tip to the engineers for their design which makes the filter almost as large as the unit itself.The filter is rated for up to a 380 square foot room. You have a washable pre-filter that catches things like pet hair. The Hepa main filter has a carbon layer which is excellent for removing odors. This filter proved very effective in making the air in my open landscape main room smell better especially after cooking on an inside grill appliance - great. I did turn the fan speed temporarily up to its highest setting for that situation. Normally I leave it on low and don't hear the fan at all..
There are very good controls which allow timer settings, fan speeds, and a feature to prevent accidental setting changes. I highly recommend this unit as an excellent air purifier for your home.

Excellent Printer, Super High Quality Photos
on December 1, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This turned out to be a fantastic multi-purpose printer. I recalled when a printer came with sprockets and paper had holes for the guide rails – wow have things improved. First of all the packaging was excellent. There was an inner box completely encased by an outer box providing double protection for the printer. The printer also had foam and cardboard providing added protection. I noticed to remove the printer from the inner box, the packaging folks at HP had come up with a sort of strong ‘strip-handle’ that you simply pulled and easily lifted the printer right out. You may recall when you had to turn the box upside down to dump out a new printer but not in this case. Tip of the cap to the engineers at HP.
I noticed the simplicity of paper size adjustments and the nicely designed printer cartridge holders. Once the various protective tape strips are removed, you plug the printer in and install the HP Smart app on your phone or computer. Just follow the directions from the app and the printer is installed in a few minutes. The app finds the printer, helps you set up wireless and away you go. Super easy.
This printer is in a little higher price point but is well worth it due to its range of functional capabilities, solid structure and excellent print quality. In short order it was installed on my laptop and on my iPad Pro. A nice feature of the install is the ability to send a link to your gmail, go to your computer and click on that link to quickly install on your computers in addition to your smart phone.
Document quality, scan quality and photo printing was great and indeed the photo printing was spectacular. I’ve included a photo with this review and the colors pop vividly.
This printer is best I’ve used and I do highly recommend it.

Beautiful, Functional and Perfect Fit
on December 1, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This keyboard is super. You do have to use the directions to pair it and if you update the firmware you will have to pair it again, but that’s about the only slight negative I saw.
The feel of the keyboard is fantastic and I am used to the top of the line keyboards for my laptops and desktops. The keys have 3 levels of lighting and I simulated lights off to varying degrees and the lighting was fantastic – easy to see keys with no glare. Will be great for plane trips.
The keypad was smooth and made my use of my new 5th generation iPad 12.9 Pro much more wonderful. I especially like the SnapFit magnetic hold that locks the iPad in place. There is some weight to the keyboard which is very solid. The weight also ensures the unit will hold the 12.9 inch iPad without letting the unit fall backwards, since this style does not have the extra ‘flap’ that some keyboards will have. When you open the combined unit, you will notice that the keyboard will in a subtle way lift the rear of the unit so the keyboard is slightly slanted – great design point and a tip of the cap to the engineers.
I enjoyed all the function keys like Microphone, Keyboard and Command keys. The keyboard will turn off when you turn off the iPad, that’s a nice feature.
There is a small user guide which will show you the gestures for the very large touchpad. Also the guide you on how to pair and update the firmware.
I do highly recommend this solid, beautiful and functional keyboard for your 12.9 iPad.

Great 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!
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.

Great 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.

Highest Quality and Top Features
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
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. But this AIO is one great machine. price is very reasonable for what you get. Love it.
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.

Disappointed
By Brandon
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.

Highest Quality and Top Features
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
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. But this AIO is one great machine. price is very reasonable for what you get. Love it.
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.

The M500s uses the Logitech Options Software. It is on the site, you may have just missed it for some reason. When you go to Logitech.com/options, click on Support, then Downloads.
