Cute, fun, little toothbrush
on April 12, 2024
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This is cute, durable toothbrush that provides a fun way for kids to brush their teeth. It is pretty much ready to go right out of the box. You just have to unpack, slide the brush on and it is ready to go. Replaceable batteries come pre-installed. The brush head is the perfect size for kids or young adults. The microvibrations provide a smooth and efficient brushing experience. The timerr ensures your kids brush for the appropriate amount of time. The body of the brush is easy for small hands to grip, and the texture makes it easy to hold on to. The included stand is a bonus and allows the brush to be stored in a way to keep the brush clean when not in use. It easy to clean and the battery compartment has a locking mechanism to keep kids from getting access to the batteries. Parents just need either a screwdriver or coin to easily open and replace the batteries. This brush provides the power and all the features needed in a budget friendly package. I prefer battery operated toothbrushes for kids, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to charge.

Quality made
on April 10, 2024
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This is my first adult scooter. My son has had several smaller kid units. I was super impressed at the quality and you can tell by the weight of the box. Assembly is super simple and the included instructions are easy to follow. All that is needed is to unfold, connect the brake cable and install the handlebars with two screws. All the tools needed are an allen wrench and it is included. The tires are air filled and there is an included valve stem extension that connects easily to my bike tire pump. The tires needed a few pounds of air and you just need to be quick unscrewing the extension to not let too much air out. My battery was fully charged out of the box and after removing a few protective covers I was ready to go. There is a headlight and digital display that shows your speed and the battery level. The only thing that was not 100% clear in the instructions was how to get the scooter to go initially. You have to push down on the throttle button and push forward slightly to get going. I like this feature because it keeps you from accidently pushing the throttle and loosing your balance. Acceleration is quick and the ride is smooth. I was able to balance easily and reach the full speed of 15 mph with ease. The throttle has a cruise control feature and disengages when you tap the brake. The brake is disc, and not just a pad, which provides smooth and powerful stopping power. This should last a long while and work efficiently even if wet. The stand is sturdy and keeps the unit upright when not using or charging. I highly recommend for an efficient and reliable exciting way to ride for fun or as a daily commuter.

Value and Power
on April 10, 2024
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This desktop has all the power needed to run the latest AAA games. The case is sleek and provide plenty of airflow for the internal components. There are plenty of ports (USB, aux, etc.) and the case lighting on the front complements the see through window on the side. The Intel Core I7-14700, with 3.40 GHz speed, handles multi tasks with ease. The liquid cooling keeps it running smooth during demanding loads. 32 GB of RAM complements the powerful CPU to keep all programs running at full efficiency. The star of this package is the Nividia GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU. This is the perfect mid-line GPU if you running games on a 1080 or 1440p monitor. I have my unit connected to an Asus ROG 1440p monitor with a 144 mhz refresh rate. The display quality is excellent and syncs for butter smooth framerates in intense action scenes. Unless you are running a 4K or 8K monitor, this GPU is all you will need. The 2 TB SSD hard drive provides plenty of space for large games. It is partitioned into two 1 TB drives which will allow your system programs to run separately of your gaming drive for increased efficiency. Out of the box, there was no bloatware programs pre-installed. There is not a system security program installed out of the box, so you will want to configure Window Defender or install a good third-party application to keep you safe online. Overall, this is an excellent budget friendly system, that provides plenty of power, and is built by a trusted company in the gaming industry.

Compact and high quality
on March 31, 2024
Posted by: ScubaSteve
The keyboard and mouse come well packed in the box and wrapped in a cloth protective cover. The ease of setup is well thought out. Instructions are clearly visible on the box and they put the Bluetooth toggle prominently displayed on the box itself. There is a place to store it in the mouse battery compartment and it is nice that it keeps anyone from being confused on where it is located. Once you pull the battery protect pull tabs out of the keyboard it is ready to go. The mouse needs the same thing tab pulled and the switch turned to on. Once you connect the Bluetooth doggle to your computer both are ready to go with no additional steps needed. The keyboard and mouse have just the right amount of weight to them and don't feel flimsy like similar sized devices. The mouse is very comfortable and the movement is smooth and controllable. There are two programable buttons on the side if you if you wish to download the Logi software and configure. I had no issues at all using right out of the box and the keyboard is compact, but the right size to type with ease. The keys are responsive and you have a number keypad as well. The keyboard stands are sturdy and give it just the right amount of tilt. It provides full size features in a compact footprint that keeps your desk free and tidy.

Perfect combination of a robotic vacuum and mop
on March 8, 2024
Posted by: ScubaSteve
The first thing you'll notice with this unit is that it is rather heavy when compared to other robotic vacuums. This is a plus because it seems really well made. The only setup is downloading the app, clipping on a ramp to the base and place the robot on the base to charge. The base has three bins, one for vacuum dust, one for clean water and one for dirty water. The dust bin has a cloth filter which is great for making emptying it easy. All are easy to remove and fill or empty. The only drawback is that you will need to buy replacement bags. I have low length carpet and hard floors throughout the house. I was a little considered initially how I would have to reconfigure between the the floor types. What is great about this unit is that it adjusts from mopping to vacuuming only automatically! You even have the option to mop only, and skip vacuuming carpet or mopping both floors and the carpet. The two mop heads pop in easily and hold on with a magnetic connection. After an initial room mapping run, it is ready to start vacuuming. The vacuum fills with water and is on it's way. The mop heads go up and down automatically between carpet and hard floors. It does this really well and it talks out loud with what it is doing. It transitioned seamless between vacuuming and mopping on a chair mat in my office. The app can be configured with how long you want it go between returns to the base for mop cleaning. It spins and cleans the mop with hot water and heads out again. The battery life is amazing and it mops for over an hour at a time to get my entire house. It does a great job of getting all areas of the floor and doesn't just bump around aimlessly. The carpets looks great, it uses just the right amount of water and the floors dry quickly. I have used robotic units that either vacuum or mop well. This one does both effortlessly. I have owned over 5 robotic vacuums and I'm really impressed with Eufy's move into this space. They did right with their first generation model and I have not found any negatives.

Unique and fits very good
on February 19, 2024
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This case fits the phone very well and provides a barrier to keep dust and dirt away from the phone and case. The snake pattern is very unique and provides a slightly raised service for a good group on the phone. The rubberized edge is non-slip and allows a good secure grip. The only drawback is that the rubberized edge has slight sticky texture and collects dusk. This is not a huge issue but can be a little of a challenge to get it to wipe off. It adds very little extra bulk and the entire case, besides, the snake pattern, is translucent and allows a tinted view of the actual phone. The price is a little on the premium side compared to comparable cases, but it does seem worth the higher price. The pattern seems to be very durable and will last the life of the device. The area around the camera lens is slightly raised and provides additional protection when it is placed on a service. It works with wireless charging and all the ports are easily accessible. The stylus slot is slightly recessed with the case but is still easy to get to. The button covers do not impact the function of the volume and power buttons. It provides a great balance of form and function.

Easy setup and all the need functions
on January 9, 2024
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This printer comes packaged well and is to get setup quickly out of the box. The instructions are easy to understand, and the printer can either be setup through the mobile application or by downloading the PC software. The print cartridge comes already installed in the drum and all you have to do is open the packaging, remove the plastic clip and slide into the cartridge slot. It is actually much easier than having to fill individual liquid tanks or installing multiple cartridges individually. There was no calibration needed and it was ready to print right away. I easily connected to my WiFi network from the touchscreen information panel directly on the printer. The PC software and drivers are easy to download and recognized my connected printer right away. The initial firmware update only took a few minutes and the software checks for updates on a daily basis. You also can print directly from your phone by using the mobile app. Printed pages are quick, and the quality is very good. Cartridge replacements run between $50 to around $100 pages but you are expected to get between 1500 to over 2000 pages per cartridge. This makes very economically over other options that will only get you about a fourth of this use. You also have the option to subscribe to a cartridge service that only starts at .89 per month. This will give you 25 pages per month and $1.00 for each additional page. $3.99 will give 100 pages per month and the subscriptions go up if you need more. Unused pages carry over and do not expire so you this will make it even more economical over time. You will receive replacement cartridges on a monitored basis without have to budget for a larger purchase. The footprint is compact and can be placed almost anywhere. It is a little heavy and seems to be very well made.

Excellent gaming sound
on December 13, 2023
Posted by: ScubaSteve
These speakers provide room filling sound from a small package. Setup is super easy and connects via Bluetooth to you either your PC or gaming console. I tried them first with my gaming laptop and they paired with no issue. The subwoofer is completely wireless which makes it easy to place without having to be near the other speakers. The lighting is an added bonus and looks very cool while gaming. Keep in mind that the lights can be a little bright so keep this in mind when placing near your monitor or TV. I also connected with no issue to my PlayStation 5 via Bluetooth and games such as Call of Duty sound excellent and the explosions sound so real. I was originally using a soundbar and I like the sound and looks of these much better. The speakers can be adjusted to direct the sound where you like, and they are smaller enough to fit almost anywhere. There is an optional hub that can be purchased as well to control, but I had no problem using with the current setup. I like the fact that there is minimal cord clutter which makes it much easier to fit any setup.

All the latest features in a high-end router
on December 6, 2023
Posted by: ScubaSteve
These are very high-quality units, and you can tell when unpacking the box. They are heavy and much larger than most mesh units of the similar type. The box even includes a handle that makes removing from the box easier. Setup is very easy and there is not a web interface. You just need to download the EERO app and follow the step-by-step setup instructions. I was unable to get connected through the Bluetooth pairing and scanned the barcode on the bottom and it connected with no issues. The app is very easy to use and rather simple. I wish it gave the option to separate out the 2.4, 5 and 6 WIFI bands since some older devices can only connect on the 2.4 band. Combining all the bands is what WIFI 7 is what the protocol utilizes to maximize bandwidth by passing data through all three bands on one device to provide optimal performance. It took a few tries, but I got all my legacy devices such as video doorbell, garage door opener and outside light switch connected on the 2.4 band. The app allows you label each connected device and shows what band they are connected. Performance speeds have been great, and the second bridged device connected with ease. A good and bad is the fact to use all features you need to subscribe for $10 a month or $99 per year. I feel this is not a bad deal since you get parental controls, (3) license for Malwarebytes, a 1Password management subscription and VPN through Guardian. The router also has imbedded security that works to block malicious content. The units are a shiny white and have a pleasant, curved shape that looks good anywhere in your home. The high-end features support the premium price and I recommend to anyone looking to future proof their network from a trusted company.

Cleans Great
on November 28, 2023
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This little vacuum was super easy getting up and running. The charge base is small and takes up little room. It is ready to go once it is charged, about an hour out of the box, and the mobile app installed. You even have the cool option of naming it anything you like in the app. Once you create and setup the account it is ready to go once charged. Initially, the vacuum will run a mapping routine of all your rooms. I was a little concerned at first because it was bumping into things frequently. Once completed, you can setup zones if you like. After mapping, it did a much better job of navigating and avoided obstacles well. It has a very bright headlight it uses to get a round. It does an excellent job of vacuuming. It has one rotating brush and and a small air filter in the dust pan. It comes with an extra replacement brush and filter as well. The dust pan holds a lot. Just be careful emptying because it has an open hole and you can accidentally dump everything if you are not careful. Moping does well also and the interchangeable head includes a mop head and drip pan to set it on while it dries. Just don't forget to remove the filter or you will have to replace it it gets wet. Overall, it does as good a job as most stick or regular vacuums.

Enhance your multimedia experience with this 15.6-inch Dell G7 gaming laptop. Its VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics board provides seamless, stunning images on the Full HD display, and its hexa-core Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM handle extended multitasking. Run applications efficiently with the 256B solid-state drive of this Dell G7 gaming laptop.
 

Will the Windows Hp Mixed Reality be compatiable with this laptop? If so, would games such as “Beat Saber” run at a decent frame rate? Thank you very much

Mixed Reality should run OK on this laptop, however I suggest at least 16 GBs of RAM to run smoothly with all VR applications.

What is the power supply for this pc

My build only has a 375 watt power supply, which I was rather disappointed in considering it is branded as a gaming PC.
