Great basic electric shaver
on April 24, 2024
Posted by: MarkusMN
I have been using electric razors since my teenage years and I have tried every brand out there. Philips Norelco consistently provides the most comfortable shave and I end up with a smooth shave without making my face dry. The 2600 model follows with the same design as its predecessors and works very well.
The floating heads somehow get very close while not causing skin irritation. The operation is smooth and I can shave in a matter of minutes. The shape of the shaver is ergonomic and fits well in my hands and the shape of the razor heads work well for every angle on my face. I like the built in beard trimmer for quick touchups on my beard as well. It eliminates the need to use my beard trimmer on a daily basis.
The shaver comes with a handy case and a USB cable. Please not that it does not shop with a charging adapter, so you will need a USB charger. I did not receive a cleaning brush with the package, so you will also need some kind of small brush when it comes to maintaining it.
It charged quickly and I have been using it for a couple of weeks. The battery life seems very good.
The shaver is capable of wet shaving operation as well, but I don't care to use this feature. Overall, this is a great product.

With the Roomba Vac Essential robot, cleaning floors is simple. Simply use the iRobot Home App or press the clean button and let it get to work. This high-tech yet uncomplicated robot has the essential features people love with powerful suction for a deep clean. And it has a low-profile design, so it can grab dirt and dust from hard-to-reach places, like under the couch. It has smart navigation and an Edge-Sweeping Brush, so sensors help it navigate around furniture and avoid falling down stairs while it meticulously cleans your floors, including corners and edges.

Cleans well but becomes stuck often
on April 17, 2024
Posted by: MarkusMN
I am a big fan of the convenience offered by robot vacuums. iRobot by Roomba offers many features of a great system, including a great mobile phone application and simple setup.
Overall, the vacuum does a great job of vacuuming the floor and the carpet looks good when it’s done. It does a good job on hardwood floors, tile and vinyl flooring. It even does an excellent job with area rugs with some considerable bulk to the texture.
Unfortunately, there is a major problem with logic used by the robot. I have tested it several times and it becomes lodged under furniture every single time. It doesn’t sense when there is an obstruction and continues to wedge itself under couches, chairs, tables and stands. When it hits a solid object, it will turn itself around, but when there is space under the object, it will continue to push itself underneath until it becomes completely lodged and then sends an error.
I have read that these need to be used in well lit areas, but it didn’t seem to matter what the lighting conditions were. I did try resetting the device, but it did not make any difference.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great coffee both hot and cold
on March 18, 2024
Posted by: MarkusMN
I have used Ninja coffee makers for several years and I prefer them over all others. This new coffee maker is excellent on most fronts and has added a new one fourth pot option that is great for smaller households. They have also changed up some of the functionality from prior versions of the coffee maker.
The classic features are still there, such as the rich brew and classic brew options. I brew dark coffees, so I generally use the classic option. The coffee turns out great and brews fairly fast.
I find some of the new features to be more complicated than in the past, such as the ounce readout in the display. While it has a visual showing the full pot options versus the cup/mug options, it isn’t clear what constitutes a half pot versus a fourth pot just by simply looking at it. It is easy to tell, however, when you turn it all the way to the maximum ounces and then back it down.
It still offers a delayed start feature that works as expected. This wonderful for staging the coffee to be ready for me in the morning and I use it daily.
One of my favorite features is the fast cold brew option. In the past, making cold brew required a whole different system and it took forever. This coffee maker does it quickly and the coffee is delicious. Thank you Ninja!
The coffee pot has been redesigned and it pours so much better than the previous versions I have owned. This was a great improvement. The water tank lid is now completely removable as well, whereas the older versions had a hinged top.
My final observation is that the coffee maker no longer displays the clock while it is in the brewing and heating modes. It sticks to displaying the ounces instead. I liked when the clock was available all of the time.

Powerful small office All-In-One
on March 8, 2024
Posted by: MarkusMN
I have found this HP Office Jet Pro all-in-one printer to be the best office product I have owned to date. The setup is friendly and it is incredibly fast. It has every feature that I would ever need for my work room, including a fax feature that is often omitted in other products.
This machine has some nice additional features that are only found with higher end models, such as the dual paper tray and the automatic duplexing for printing, copying and scanning. The scanning feature gives one varied of options through the HP Smart application, including the ability to save the document, email it or even fax it once scanned.
The HP Smart application is a user friendly and very helpful application with several features. It can be used from your computer or your mobile device. It also allows for cloud based services which is handy on the go.
The copying and scanning is also fast compared to anything else I have used. The scans look very good, as do the copies that it makes. The features are available from the application or the printer console itself. The printer console is easy to read and navigate.
I have tested the functionality from an iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy Fold 4, Windows 11 and my MacBook Pro. As with any new product, be sure to update to the newest firmware available to ensure that all features function optimally.

Extremely fast gaming mouse with lighting
on February 24, 2024
Posted by: MarkusMN
The Corsair M75 Wireless Gaming Mouse is a welcome addition to my desktop. I always appreciate the dual connectivity options, so that I’m not limited to using the included fob or Bluetooth. Furthermore, the fob tucks nicely into the mouse housing when not in use.
I am using this mouse with Bluetooth connectivity, as I use it mostly for productivity purposes. While it’s very fast and responsive with Bluetooth, it is even faster with the dedicated fob connectivity.
I did have some initial problems with setting it up with my laptop, I was able to eventually find it and it connected easily. The ergonomics are very comfortable with my hand and the wheel is fast and responsive.
While I haven’t attached the included feet, they available if you choose to use them. My desktop is already very slick so they aren’t needed with my surface. Since they are replaceable, I will likely attach them to prolong the life of the surface.
The mouse charged in a very short period of time and hasn’t hardly gone through any of the capacity with constant use on a daily basis.
Finally, this mouse is very nice looking with the multiple color changes. I have other colored components, such as my keyboard and microphone. It really adds character to my desk setup, especially when I’m using it in the dark.

Meet the newest Chamberlain technology
on November 22, 2023
Posted by: MarkusMN
Keypads have been a handy way to open and close garage doors for quite some time. While I have cameras for my driveway and door, I now have a way to see who is using my keypad and this provides an excellent way for delivery drivers to request entry to the garage. The video is very good and the opener is easy to pair with modern Chamberlain systems capable of MyQ connectivity.
I was able to pair this with a modern garage door model with no issues, but this doesn’t work well with older systems. While it initially connected, I had difficulty keeping it connected. This was not the case with my newer system and it worked perfectly. Most of the setup was achieved through the mobile application for my newer system. I had to manually pair it with my older garage door system. If you encounter issues, technical support is very good about assisting. The documentation is oriented toward their newer technologies.
The motion detection works well and it’s nice to know when there is movement toward my garage doors. I purchased a second controller because I liked the added security that it added to my garage.
The charging process is very slow and it takes several hours to achieve a full charge. Once it is charged, I have had it going for a couple of weeks now with very little battery drain. This has been in early winter temperatures, so the extreme cold temperatures may impact the battery life.
The mounting is easy and it is secured by a small screw at the bottom of the device. The keypad is very responsive and I like everything about this opener.

Added security for your garage
on November 13, 2023
Posted by: MarkusMN
This security camera gives me peace of mind in my garage. Chamberlain has a very good ecosystem when it comes to wireless capabilities and integration with myQ is seamless.
Smart homes have become increasingly popular. I have lost track of how many times I think that I hear noises in my garage and this give me a nice view of the door area of the garage. With two garage doors, I have two of these cameras so that I can see both sides of my garage.
Setup is very easy with the myQ application for my smart phone. Adding a device is straight forward and it works very well. The clarity is very good and I can watch events in real time through the application. There is also a subscription available to record events.
Chamberlain gives two options for mounting the camera. My garage door opener has a metal bottom, so the magnet on the bottom of the camera works extremely well to mount the camera on the opener. There is also an adhesive pad included to stick the camera on the opener.
This camera adds capabilities of the most recent devices without having to replace your existing equipment. Overall, it works very well.

Quality headset with outstanding range and sound
on November 13, 2023
Posted by: MarkusMN
I have been tied to my desk for quite some time with a very nice communication device. While it is nice having something that just sits on the desk, it doesn't allow for mobility during meetings. This Logitech Zone 950 has given me the freedom to move about during meetings with some very nice features for business.
I have tested the headset with both Zoom and Microsoft Teams and it works very well with both platforms. I have used other products in the past and the range wasn't great. This headset has quite the range, allowing me to use it from any room on my main floor. I used the supplied USB-C dongle. I even took it into my garage and the sound was crystal clear. It did finally break up after moving a considerable distance from my laptop.
The noise canceling quality is important since I have dogs. It is common for parcel deliveries or people walking by my house during meetings. I am always concerned that I might forget to mute the microphone when my dogs are barking. I have been told that this filters out even the loudest of barking during my meetings. It is very handy that lifting the microphone also mutes the headset.
The headset is extremely comfortable, even for long meetings. I didn't experience any discomfort whatsoever during a very long meeting. The ear pads are very light.
Logitech quality is always outstanding and this headset is no exception. It includes a nice carrying case for portability. Charging is fast and the battery lasts a long time between charges.

The Detect Pro robot vacuum is powered by 3 deep-cleaning technologies that enable the robot to maximize performance by sensing mess level, floor type, and edges & corners. DirtDetect sees even the hidden debris and automatically increases suction and cleaning passes to remove the mess on carpets and hardfloors. Now with NeverStuck technology, this robot will navigate around obstacles AND lift itself up and over thresholds and onto thick carpets. Not only can the robot deep clean, but you also do not have to worry about it getting stuck. Detect Pro finishes the cleaning mission every time and with each clean will empty itself into its bagless base that contains a HEPA Anti-Allergen Seal trapping dust & allergens inside. The odor neutralizer technology will also ensure the odor is trapped in the base for a fresher smelling home and making it the ultimate end to end solution for pet hair pick up.

Extremely User Friendly and Powerful
on October 21, 2023
Posted by: MarkusMN
I have seen and heard about robot vacuums but never really embraced the idea of an unattended device running around my house to clean my floors. This all changed when I found this extremely intelligent and efficient Shark - Detect Pro self-emptying cleaning machine.
Shark really thought of everything when it comes to simplifying the use of this device. The base unit is strong and sturdy and serves as a charging station and emptying station. With this model, it takes it a step further and has an air freshener added. This is a nice feature that freshens up the room when the robot docks to empty and charge.
The device is very smart and interfaces well with the mobile application. Once the device is connected to Wi-Fi, it can be controlled by the mobile application. After the robot is connected to the application, it can go out on a mapping mission to search the area that it intends to clean. The map is then drawn on the mobile application to confirm or change. Once it has been mapped out, the rooms can even be separated and safe zones can be set up to avoid.
The vacuum is powerful and does a very good job cleaning the carpet. I have it scheduled to go every other night after I go to bed. It is nice waking up and finding the carpet vacuumed when I wake up in the morning. It seldom gets stuck, but I recommend clearing the floor as a matter of good practice before letting it run. It does have a brush roller that will suck up everything in its path.
I am beyond pleased with this offering by Shark and I plan to purchase another one for my upstairs flooring.

A quality cable with a braided covering
on October 13, 2023
Posted by: MarkusMN
It seems like I can never have enough charging cords and I ruin them quickly. This has so much to do with the quality and construction of the cable itself. The functionality of the cable is also often dependent on the quality of the connections.
I was very impressed with the quality and construction of this braided cable and it worked perfectly with my very finicky automobile sound system. I have experienced several failures in the past and this one is perfect.
Starting with the construction, this one is not made out of the typical vinyl covering that less expensive models are covered with. This cable is covered with a very high quality braided cloth material that appears to be constructed to last for quite some time. It has a nice cable retaining strap to keep it neat and tidy when not using it, eliminating it from becoming tangled.
I chose the seven foot length, as I plan to use it primarily in my automobile. That is the perfect length for my purposes. It is available in other lengths as well.
I will replace my other cables with this model, as the quality is superior to any others that I am using.

Set up a gaming station with this LG 24-inch Full HD monitor. AMD Radeon FreeSync technology eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, letting you play AAA titles smoothly, while the IPS display with a wide viewing angle delivers bright, vivid visuals from almost any direction. This LG 24-inch Full HD monitor has an antiglare coating for minimizing reflections.
Best buy shows this monitor as having 2 HDMI inputs, but the LG webpage for model number 24ML44B-B states it has only 1 HDMI and also shows only 1 in their pictures. Can someone clarify if this monitor has 1 or 2 HDMI inputs?

does this printer only scan from the flatbed or can I use the auto doc feed to scan multiple pages at once?
It only scans from flatbed. I mistakenly thought that the feeder would scan, but that was for paper feeding only.
