Sound that puts you in the game
on September 26, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
The two most important components of playing video games are the visual quality and sound quality. When both are high end, the game is fun to play. That is where a great seat of gaming headphones really makes the experience so enjoyable. Turtle Beach is known for comfortable, yet great sounding headsets and this is no exception.
This headset requires the included dongle and does not offer Bluetooth connectivity. The dongle works flawlessly with both a PC and my PS4. Connectivity was fast and easy when following the instructions included with the headset. There are a few steps to follow with the PlayStation setup, but it works with a PC without setup.
The headset is rated to be worn comfortably with glasses and the description is accurate. The cushioning is soft and sits lightly on my head with no discomfort in the temple area or around the ear cushions. The ear cushions are just right for blocking out unwanted sound while offering comfortable wearing for quite some time.
The sound is incredible, putting you right in the scene of the game. It is subversive and there are four out of the box blends for the equalizer and all sound very good. I am a bass and treble boost fan, so I use the setting that boosts both ranges.
The microphone is sturdy and useful with the ability to turn it on and off by raising it and lowering it.
I was really happy with the variable microphone monitoring control, which allows more or less outside sound through the headset. This is handy not only for gaming, but for working as well.

Fast printer with some nice features
on September 23, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
This printer is great for a smaller office or home setting where speed and print quality are important. The WorkForce setup comes with a very good mobile application that can control the whole unit. The days of requiring a computer to print, scan or copy are behind us, as this can all be done from from your mobile phone now.
The setup was easy and can be done either manually, which I chose, or by using the phone application. Network setup was straight forward, as were all other configurations.
The printer itself produces high quality printouts and they are fast, even with two-sided printing. The sound is fairly quiet and it works well with mobile device printing.
The scanner works well with regular copy paper, but it struggled with thicker copy paper. I encountered paper jams with anything thicker than normal 20 pound paper. The scan quality has three options with low, standard and high resolutions. The standard is set at 300 DPI, which is sufficient for most document scans. The highest quality scans at 600 DPI, which would be used for photographs or when higher quality is necessary.
The unit is compact and doesn’t take a lot of room. There is one paper tray with a capacity of 150 sheets.

The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot combines an ultra-powerful vacuum with Sonic Mopping for a complete clean from start to finish. First, it’s an ultra-powerful whole home vacuum on carpets and floors that empties its own dustbin. Second, it’s an ultra-powerful vacuum that sonic mops hard floors at the same time. It features Matrix Clean, which allows your robot to clean from multiple angles using a precision grid ensuring no spots are missed on all your floor types. No cleaning detail is unmet with this robot’s corner and edge cleaning, self-cleaning brushroll for pet hair, and HEPA filtration trapping 99.97% of dust and allergens into the bagless base. With Precision Home Mapping, the robot uses its 360 LIDAR vision to scan your home and build a detailed map, enabling fully autonomous movement. This also allows your robotic vacuum to detect and avoid objects in its path day or night. It creates a precise home map in the SharkClean app so you can select specific areas to clean on-demand, initiate Matrix Clean, and set cleaning schedules from anywhere. Utilize the app to set custom carpet and no-go zones for complete control of where the robot cleans and doesn’t clean. This robot masterfully integrates Matrix Clean with vacuuming, mopping, CleanEdge, and self-emptying to give you the ultimate floor cleaning machine.

A must have for homes
on September 23, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
I am beyond pleased with this 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop. Shark created the ultimate self-cleaning, portable, programmable, mappable vacuum and mop machine with this product. It is so nice waking up to a freshly vacuumed main floor every morning with very little work on my part. Simply set it up and let it do the work.
The navigation system on this device is incredible. Once assembled and the mobile application is installed and paired, the machine will make a mapping run of the areas to clean and creates an actual map that can be edited with separate zones. My main floor has carpet in the living room and hard wood floors in the dining and kitchen areas. I was able to set up a carpet zone so that when I am using the interchangeable mop head, it stays off the carpet.
I set up a schedule to run nightly while we are out of the main areas and it does a great job of vacuuming. It is very good about returning the base station once done. With pets, we have toys that we need to put away before cleaning, as well as any flat materials that it could encounter.
The cleaning from the vacuum is surprisingly good for a smaller brush roll. It does empty itself upon returning to the base unit. We have pets and it handles the pet hair easily without collecting on the brush roll.
The mopping function does a fantastic job, not leaving things extremely wet. Yet, it is clear where it has gone, leaving just the right amount of moisture in its path. It dries quickly and the floors looked great after cleaning. It comes with a small bottle of cleaning solution and it works very well.
This is our second Shark Robot vacuum, but the sonic mopping function on this was a great addition and will become our main floor cleaner.

Fun addition for our front porch
on September 21, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
Living in the Midwest, our season is changing and temperatures fluctuate from hot to cold in a matter of hours at times. I have always wanted a heater for our deck and front porch, but I never wanted to risk using anything with actual fuel. Farenheit created a very nice looking tower heater with music functionality, making for a useful and fun device.
The installation was very simple and straight forward, requiring that only be base unit be installed to the bottom. The base is solid and fairly heavy creating a solid platform for a tall unit. Be sure to remove the foam insulation pads before turning it on for the first time, or they will burn once the heater is turned on.
The device operates as a light and speaker separate from the actual heating element. Once the mobile application is downloaded and the unit is paired with the application, it can be easily controlled from a mobile device. While the remote on the phone shows a power button, the heater cannot be started without the power switches turned on from the physical unit. It simply acts as a restart button.
The remote allows for connectivity and a volume control, while also providing for several lighting scenarios. The lighting can change the color of the light, change it to flashing, allow for fading in and out of several colors with manual and scenario based lighting.
The heater itself is strong enough to be felt from several feet away, and has a low and high setting.
The sound is descent for outdoors with a fairly good range for volume. The application also provides for an equalizer with eight predefined settings and controllable bass and treble settings.
I have enjoyed more time out on our porch since adding this tower heater and have truly enjoyed the features offered.

Lite, fast and great looking mouse
on September 21, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
Logitech is known for quality computer peripherals and this gaming mouse is no exception. It is extremely lightweight, fast, configurable and looks great on a gaming desk with its display of moving and changing colors. The response is immediate with no lag and the mouse is configurable with the Logitech Options software.
The software makes this mouse great, with options for changing the pointer speed, scrolling, wheel direction, sensitivity, smart shift and wheel mode options. There is even a Logitech Flow option to easily switch between computers by moving the mouse to the edge of a screen.
While the default button configurations work well for me, the mouse can be configured to work differently with various applications. I tried a custom configuration for word processing and it is a handy tool to have if one uses a special application.
The mouse charges quickly and holds a charge for several days. Connectivity requires the included dongle and does not support Bluetooth connectivity. This is designed as a gaming mouse where speed is a major consideration, so using the dongle makes perfect sense.
The mouse feels great in the palm of the hand and is effortless to move and use. It looks great in a dark office with the lighting. Logitech has combined quality with flexibility and produced another great product,

Great fast charging USB - C Adapter
on September 16, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
It seems as though USB-C has taken over as the new standard for charging our electronics and most products now ship without the adapter. Manufacturer branded charging adapters are often expensive and difficult to find. Furthermore, each adapter has a charging rating which will determine how fast a device will charge. They are not all created equal.
This adapter is rated at 20W and will charge a device very quickly. The charger is very compact and fits into a bag nicely as the prongs fold back into the charging block.
I have tested this charger with a new Android device and smartwatch, as well as an iPhone 12 Pro Max and my iPad Pro with a Magic keyboard/mouse atached. It has worked flawlessly with any device that I have used it with.
The small form factor, combined with the powerul charging capabilities and very reasonable price make this a great main charger if neded, or an additional charger to carry in your bag. It is simple and will provide the power needed to run any device at a fraction of the cost of a manufacturer model.

Superb sounding desktop speakers
on September 8, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
There is a major difference between these monitor speakers and your typical computer speakers. Starting with the versatility, these will work with computers and wirelessly to connect to any device with Bluetooth capabilities. The front selector switch allows to change between input methods, but also boasts an “all input” selection to automatically detect the sound source.
The sources can be used simultaneously to play two sources at once. This is especially handy for anyone with a recording setup. I was able to play through my laptop at the same time that my phone was connected through a Bluetooth connection. There is an auxiliary in port as well as a headphone jack on the front of the primary speaker.
The sound is very deep and rich and these will put out a lot of volume for such a small speaker. The bass is surprisingly deep and blends well with a nice crisp treble sound.
The two speakers need to be connected with the included wire and do not operate independently of one another. It will work with just speaker if the two are not connected. The package comes with the cables necessary to connect to a computer.

Very powerful portable AC unit
on September 8, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
I have never owned a portable air conditioner unit in the past, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I have used window units when I was younger, but this is so handy to have the ability to move it from one place to another. The unit offers several operational options with an automatic setting, cooling setting, dry setting and fan only setting.
I am a huge technology fan, so I especially appreciated the application that is available from my phone. The AC unit offers WiFi connectivity so it can be controlled from virtually anywhere. Everything that can be accomplished from the top of the unit can also be controlled by mobile phone application.
In addition to the mobile phone application, it comes with a remote control device that offers very similar functionality as the top control panel. This is an incredibly intuitive AC product.
There is some installation needed and it’s important to understand what windows it will work with. From what I can see, it works with double hung windows and slider windows, but not with crank out windows. There is a plastic plate that the exhaust fits into that needs to seal around the window opening. This must be vented in order to get the warm air out of the room.
The AC is very powerful and cools things down nicely.

Incredible Sound and Comfort
on September 8, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
Bose consistently provides quality products and these QuietComfort Earbuds II are no exception. I have tried several earbuds and nothing compares to sound, comfort and overall quality of these earbuds. Every detail of the product is polished and work perfectly as described. The components are extremely responsive to touch.
As with any new product, you will want to update the firmware to use the newest features.
The sound is stunning with crisp treble and deep bass. The application allows for four programmed sound modes, including Bass Boost, Bass Reducer, Treble Boost and Treble Reducer. All four modes allow for customization with Bass, Midrange and Treble adjustments. The sound can be customized easily for your taste.
Noise cancellation is impressive. I am able to block out almost all outside noise, while easily changing to an aware mode and back by simply pressing and holding an earbud. While only Quiet and Aware modes initially appear, there is an option to create several other modes with adjustable noise cancellation levels.
The earbuds themselves have serval touch functions allowing for complete control without using the application. A series of taps such as single tap, double tap, triple tap and holding down will give you almost all necessary functionality.
I am able to wear these comfortably for hours and barely notice that I have them in. While they are not small, they are well balanced in the ear and fit my ears perfectly. There are several sizes to choose from for ear comfort including comfort bands. I have no concerns about these slipping out of my ears while moving around.
These are going to be used daily and I am extremely pleased with every aspect of the earbuds. The sound quality, comfort, build quality, charging case and mobile application are all top notch. The battery is rated at six hours with an additional two hours after recharging in the case for 20 minutes.

A great communication device for your child
on July 22, 2022
Posted by: MarkusMN
This is a great option for someone looking to provide security and functionality for your children. Cell phones are bit much and easy to forget, but this offers very similar functionality on a device that can be worn on the wrist. Spacetalk really thought this through when they designed it and the features are a parenting dream come true. Imagine a watch, phone, fitness, heart rate, texting and camera all in one small footprint with a lot of parental controls.
The first thing that impressed me was the ability to set safety zones with precise GPS tracking. In my case, I see the safe zone for a half of a mile around my home. The device alerts me when the child leaves home and arrives home. It also has a school mode so that options can be enabled or disabled during certain hours, such as school time.
I love the safety feature where one swipe will enable an emergency dial chain. The device limits calls and messages to only the people you have set up in the contacts portion of the application. There is an option for each contact to designate the person as an emergency contact. If the emergency calling is activated, it dials all contacts that have been designated as emergency contacts.
The watch is very easy to navigate with swiping actions. There are a good number of applications included with the watch including calling, texting, chatting with other devices, location, fitness, weather, stopwatch, award stars for chores, camera, photo album, alarm, calendar, calculator, flashlight mode and the ability to create a buddy list. The watch display does turn off to save battery life and is awakened by double tapping on it.
Parents are alerted when the watch is turned on and when it is turned off and taken off. Alerts remind parents to charge the watch as well. There is a locate me function built into the application to find your child. This is very informational.
The only issue that I see with the watch is the size of it. This is very large for small wrists. It is extremely durable with gorilla glass and the band is high quality with several adjustment holes. It isn’t overly heavy, but it is big. I will want to see if my child continues to wear it because of the size.
This is an amazing device from a feature standpoint and if the design could be improved to make it smaller, it would even better yet.

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?

It only scans from flatbed. I mistakenly thought that the feeder would scan, but that was for paper feeding only.
