Very simple and efficient kettle, better then expected to be honest. It takes about two minutes to boil the water and make tea. Easy to use, easy to clean and that is what matters to any kitchen item. I love simple items like this.
Pros:
Easy to use
Easy to clean
Fast

The Blue Pure 311 Auto air purifier is a top pick in Wirecutter's 'The Best Air Purifier 2020' for "Delivering exceptional performance in an attractive form".¹ The Blue Pure 311 Auto take a simple approach to air quality management with an integrated particle sensor, Auto mode setting, and LED air quality display. The ENERGY STAR® certified air purifier delivers high performance with one-button control and customizable pre-filter colors in a lightweight, compact package. Independently evaluated and third-party tested for performance as part of the AHAM Verifide® Program for room air cleaners, this air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 250 cfm for fine smoke particles, 250 cfm for pollen particles, and 244 cfm for dust particles. Recommended for medium rooms like a master bedroom, living room, or playroom with a 360° air intake to completely filter room air about every 12.5 minutes² (approx. 4.8x an hour at 388 ft²) on the highest speed.³ The 3-step combination particle + carbon filter works with Blueair's HEPASilent™ filtration technology to remove 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns, like pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, bacteria, viruses⁴ and more. An additional layer of activated carbon traps light household odors.⁵ Blue Pure 311 Auto quietly cleans the air with less noise than a soft whisper⁶ on low (23 dB) and up to a normal conversation on high (53 dB) – while using less energy than a light bulb (3-35 W) on all speeds.⁷ The one-touch enabled Auto mode is designed to help you maintain a comfortable environment. When enabled, the setting automatically adjusts to real-time conditions reported by the integrated particle sensor. Stay up to date on your air quality with the LED display; it changes color to indicate good, moderate, or poor. Change color in seconds with five fabric pre-filter options inspired by Scandinavian nature. The fabric material of the pre-filter catches larger particles and extends the life of the primary filter. Plus, a hidden compartment in the fabric pre-filter keeps the power cord hidden out of sight. Vacuum the fabric or toss it in the washing machine whenever it needs cleaning. Pre-filter in Arctic Trail (gray) included; Additional colors available for purchase. At Blueair, our Swedish heritage inspires sustainability and quality at the heart of everything we do. All Blueair purifiers are AHAM Verifide for Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and given a recommended room size, certified by ENERGY STAR for energy efficiency and the California EPA Air Resources Board (CARB) for safe ozone emissions. ¹From Wirecutter. ©2020 Wirecutter, Inc.

Very silent and extremely easy to use
on January 12, 2021
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
This air purifier is read to use out of box - no configuration needed, just plug it to the outlet, power on and select mode to use. Devices has 4 modes (press once for auto mode, twice to night mode, three times to everyday mode which is medium speed and four times to boost high speed mode – fifth press will turn device off). Fan has 3 speeds and device is very quiet which makes it perfect for bedroom use. We use ours in the kid’s bedroom which seem to feel fresher than before. Very good design and great size of the unit, and since is really light weight it could be easily moved anywhere. Side LED indicator will change color from blue, orange or red to inform you on air quality. Fabric pre-filter is washable, filter is not they need to be replaced. Light indicator on the top will turn red when time to replace/clean filter. Good for rooms up to 190sq ft. Energy officiant, uses less energy than one LED bulb. Simple as it could and should be.
Pros:
Ready to use out of box
Very quiet
Easy to use
Washable filter
Energy officiant
Cons:
None so far

Strong built with great hardware
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
First impressions:
____________
When I opened the box first thing I notice was nice darkish color (charcoal I think) with clear silver ASUS logo. Once I took computer our I got surprised realizing that is made of beautiful aluminum housing with silver lining all around, including silver hinges. This 2 in 1 computer seem to be strongly built and I think is great for those who travel, or students and IT Field technicians. While some might disagree I think it’s perfect size and perfect weight too, at least for me. Solid quality built with great design and materials, for sure.
Connections/Ports:
____________
This computer has one HDMI port, two USB type C ports (which can be used for video as well - with adapters), one USB 3.0, microphone jack input and SD card reader slot.
Hardware:
____________
This computer has great selection of hardware which some of are:
• Intel I7-1165G7 Processor – 11th generation 4 cores/8 threads Intel processor with true learning intelligence that learns and adapts to your needs
• 16GB RAM – Will make your multitasking easy and switching between applications fast and smooth
• 512GB PCIe SSD with Intel Optane+ - Will improve even more your boot time and accelerate system performance
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 MAX-Q graphics + Intel Iris Xe – deliver great clean graphics in high video resolution
• Web Cam – That work great with Windows Hello technology and does great at web meetings
• 15.6” Touch screen display – 1920x1080 Full HD LED backlight. Display with Pantone-Validated & Eye comfort testing by TÜV Rheinland.
• WiFi 6 AX – Will delivered greater speeds and better connectivity
Summary:
____________
Thanks to SSD drive this device has very fast startup. After startup I must mention Windows Hello biometric login which makes everything safer, quicker and easier. Chicklet style backlit keyboard seems to be very pleasant and very quiet and in combination with fairly large mousepad and 15,6” touch screen (1080p) it definitely can make your work more pleasant and efficient. In addition to fairly large 15.6” display you can connect additional monitors either by full size HDMI port or by using USB type C port and adapter and either way they are preforming great. I have tested mine in 2K resolution (2560x1440) and monitor worked flawless but I have no doubt that it can do 4K as well. In times when almost everyone does remote work or school it’s important to say that it has integrated web camera (720p, 30fps, HDR and digital video stabilization), integrated noise-canceling microphone and great Herman/Kardon speakers which are delivery great sound regardless do you attend a web meeting, watch a movie, play music or something else. When it comes to storage 512GB it’s not really plenty but I would always trade quantity for quality and with that in mind this 512GB SSD is great package deal. This computer has Alexa built in which in addition to existing Cortana and both of them could be very helpful during the busy days, from finding and open files to playing your favorite music, reorder supply’s from Amazon or even controlling your home devices without interrupting of your work tasks. Computer seems to be incredibly quiet even when the fan is working and I believe that adding cooling vents to 3 sizes plus bottom of the computer was great idea. I must mention Windows Inc which is really helpful especially in tablet mode and lets you mark your presentation, write on items or sign documents. Thanks to its hardware this computer is blazing fast and handles any task without any issues. Battery last for 5 hours while I used computer for browsing, research and listened some music. I must add this ASUS computer comes up with DropBox promotional deal of 25GB storage for 1 year – free.
Pros:
____________
Metal housing
2 in 1 computer / tablet
Intel I7 high end CPU
Learning & adaptive processor
SSD drive
Screen resolution
Touch screen
Display technology
USB Type C ports which can be used as display ports
WiFi 6
Chicklet style backlit keyboard

__________
None really

The best just got better with the new Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam. With an abundance of new features and world’s firsts, the 622GW is the most accurate, powerful and highest image quality Dash Cam in the market today. Ultra-clear 4K recording at 30fps captures those all-important finer details, with recording at 1440p HD at 60fps or 1080p HD at 120fps for super slow motion available. An improved sensor ensures enhanced night vision on even the darkest roads. Image quality is at the forefront of the Dash cam revolution, with Image stabilization reducing vibrations from your vehicle and improving footage clarity. Another first for Nextbase is Extreme Weather Mode, to provide a clearer image in misty conditions using special defogging algorithms, crucial for winter and night-time driving. The 622GW is the world’s first Dash Cam to include what3words. This provides your exact location to a 3m square location without the need for a data connection, crucial for emergency services to precisely locate you. Coupled with Emergency SOS and Alexa Built-In, the 622GW shows its further ahead the field with technology advancements. Increased connectivity for transferring footage to your mobile phone is key with new built-in Bluetooth 5.0 and Hyper-Sync Wi-Fi 5GHz speeds are up to 10x faster. This ensures syncing times with the MyNextbase Connect app (IoS 12.1 or later and Android 5.1 and up). The 622GW is compatible with any Nextbase Rear View Module, to offer-all around protection, whilst crucially maintaining front 4K image quality, with 1080p full HD rear recordings. The 622GW features all the much loved Nextbase features including Intelligent Parking Mode, high accuracy 10x GPS readings, a 3” HD IPS touch screen and the fully patented Click&Go PRO mount design, for the ultimate Dash Cam user experience. Note- For this product a U3 class Nextbase microSD card is required (Not included). The ability to maintain a high WRITE speed consistently is what Nextbase SD cards are designed to do better than any other SD card. Any drop/fluctuation in WRITE speed within the SD card causes the Dash Cam footage to buffer, and in some cases will stop the recording entirely. Our Nextbase SD card controller and Firmware on the SD card achieves the requirements from our Dash Cam, where other SD cards cannot. Due to the continuous recording and overwriting of the card, the SD card needs to be a high-endurance card, otherwise the card may develop faults after a period of time; if a lower-capability card is used, certain features on the camera will not fully function due to being unable to re-write and record. Nextbase has over 3 million dash cams sold, 115 unique patents, custom designed processors and improved sensors which record fast moving objects in perfect picture clarity for day and night time driving. Auto adjusts contrast and brightness to further improve the footage details in the event of an accident. Save time, money, and ease with Nextbase Dash Cams.

Great 4K dash cam
on December 14, 2020
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
I used lots of dash cameras in last few years and NextBase 622GW is one of the best I tried.
Packaging:
………………..
Very nice and clean packaging, that included camera itself, two cords (one usb for house, other with 12V car plug), GPS stick on magnetic mount with power connector, suction cup extension mount, warning window sticker, extra sticky pad, cable tucking tool, SD card and instruction guide.
Setup:
………………..
Initial setup of the camera was easy and first step was to charge camera (this camera has internal battery) per instructions, then getting MyNextBase app and configuring device to my own preference. Initial setup vent fine but my problems started after initial setup and I had few of them:
1. Unable to install prompted firmware update from 5.9 to 6.4. Download of the new firmware was completed but it always failed to install it. – This was resolved and updated by downloading update file by computer to SD card
2. Second issue was being unable to get live view once I connect to camera
3. Unable to download files from camera to the app/phone, and every time when attempted to download files camera would freeze and wouldn’t even power off.
4. Unable to play recorded videos on MyNextBase app
In order to resolve problems 2, 3 and 4 I did try a lot, and this is what I did at end to make it work:
Performed reset the dash cam to all defaults
Reset the network settings on the phone
Left camera ON but unplugged to drain dash cam battery
Waited 24 hours before I continued
Reset the camera settings again
Did initial setup again and everything worked fine.
For issues listed above I will take away 1 star.
Experience with device:
………………..
I used sticky pad GPS mount simple because I know it won’t fall of in hot days which I cannot guarantee for any suction cup mount. Camera is easy removable from this magnetic GPS mount by simple pull back toward yourself. For the video quality mine was set for 4K at 30fps (it also supports 1440p 30fps, 1080 60fps and 1080 30fps), and I like short clips 1 minute which is my preference but there is option for 2 and 3 minutes clips as well. Camera supports pictures capturing by double tapping the camera touchscreen (yes, this device has really clean touch screen), and video clips could be protected from overwriting by simple pressing of the small “NextBase” button right under the screen. Video & picture quality is clean and beautiful to provide enough details such as road signs, license plates of the cars in front of you etc. This camera has built in polarizing filter which help to reduce or eliminate windshield reflection which also makes big difference when it comes to video quality. Since I am talking about video part I should mention that NextBase 622 has option to save two clips for each file (or each occurrence), one in high resolution and other in low resolution. I decided to disable this feature in order to save up space on SD card. Camera also support image stabilization (if enabled). Audio quality is also great and clean to understand passengers or hear car next to you honking, extreme brakes squeaking or even yelling and lauder talking around your car. If you choose to enable all display options, your recording video could have on screen information for your speed, GPS coordinates, camera model, time and date. NextBase 622 lets you connect to your phone by both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi which makes file accessing (and sending to someone) very pleasant and easy. Camera supports parking mode but I am not using this feature because my 12V power outlet is not working if car is turned off. Emergency SOS is feature that monitors camera sensors (in case of accidents) to determine crash and sends a SOS signal (or message) to emergency services including your location and medical information (to setup up this location in your phone for NextBase app needs to be set on “always”, and you will need to setup feature with your name, phone number and voluntary medical data such as allergies, blood type), and this service it’s free for 12 months. Honestly I am not using this feature. This dash cam also supports Alexa but simple because I have iPhone with Siri I am also not using this feature.
Conclusion:
………………..
I like this product mostly because of great video & audio quality that is after all my main reason to get a dash camera. I like the camera design, touch screen, great magnetic GPS mount which allows you to remove camera fast and easily, and integrated polarizing filter which is great addition to improve video clarity. Currently my only concern is the fact that this camera gets little bit hot (in December) so I would recommend to use screensaver feature.
Pros:
………………..
Great audio & video quality
Touch screen
Magnetic GPS mount
Integrated polarizing filter
Image stabilization
Design
Cons:
………………..
Camera gets little bit hot

Anyone can make great food with this cooker
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
First I must say that I am ok when it comes to outdoor grilling but for indoor kitchen and cooking I was disaster and unless it's emergency I did not use indoor kitchen myself. Until now.
Great addition to any kitchen. Very good size (6.5-qt) for medium and large families and extremely easy to use. Cooker comes with very nice recipes book so anyone can use it and make very delicious dish, and if you are cooking beginner like myself this book will help you to make not just decent or good food but very good food. Cooker comes with two different lids, pressure lid used mostly for slow cooking & steaming and crisping lid used for baking/ roast, broiling and air frying. Air Frying is very great feature because you don't use oil to make fried food but results are great. First thing we made was mash potato with fried chicken and everything was done in less than 20 minutes and French fries was done in less that 15. This is first time our kids ate home made fried chicken and we have been making it for while, just different way by using conventional oven. Testes are different by only thing I would point out to book was to double check temperatures and suggested cooking time where for example suggested 20 minutes - 15 minutes was enough, so my suggestion is definitely shorten your cooking time for 3-5 minutes from suggested by the book.
Pros:
Easy to use
Very convenient
Makes food fast when needed
Good size
Comes with recipes book
Cons:
None.

Blazing fast with lots of storage space
on November 8, 2020
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
Great HDD with awesome preformance and lots of storage. Installed on HP OMEN Obelisk Desktop which previously had smaller size M2 drive which was fully removed. From powering on to full boot up it takes only 10 seconds. New clean installation of Windows 10 took just 8 minutes which is proof itself on data transfer speed. Ended up with 930GB of free space after Windows installation. Great for anyone especially gamers because games today are taking lots of storage space. Installed Crucial Storage Executive application which even increased performance by a lot. Also HDD does not come with mounting screw but in my case it didn't matter because I just replaced existing drive which has been mounted by same screw. Here are the test results from PC UserBenchmark:

Good radar detector
on October 23, 2020
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
Setup
Setup was very easy, simple plug and play followed by installing the Escort Live app for my iPhone. Installing the app is not required for device to work but it will provide more accurate results and wider area of coverage.
Experience/Feedback:
I owned several different radar detectors in last several years and some things never change: suction type mount and stretchy telephone looking cord, which honestly I am not fan of either and I would to see improvements for those. This radar detector it’s not perfect but it does seems to trigger lot less false alerts than any other model I previously used. I love the red light camera alerts which works by device GPS even without syncing and connecting my phone to detector itself. Unfortunately I live in the area with no speeding traps and I have no idea how and will it works with them. This radar detector will detect several types including laser, k-band, pop radar gun and few others. Other nice feature is display with posted speed limit and your own speed so you don’t have to keep looking for speed limit signs next to road. For better and more detailed results I would definitely suggest installing of the mobile app Escort Live which sync with radar itself. Cords seem to be pretty short for my Audi since my nearest 12V it’s under front console armrest and I will look for longer cord, but downside of that means I will have to replace the plug as well which has alert mute option.
Pros:
Red light camera alerts
Posted speed limit display
Smart app sync
Mote button on 12V plug
Cons:
Short cord

Good device with great features
on October 17, 2020
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
Setup
______________________
Very easy to install, flip the breaker off, install the bridging wire on the transformer and install the ring bell. Mounting is very easy, two screws for the mounting bracket and push the bell on, which locks the plastic pins on the bracket.
Design
______________________
I like design look, large button and large camera lens. Very neat and clean. What I am not a fan of is the mounting in the terms of the security, and I will mention this later.
Experience
______________________
This device has some great features that I love but it’s not flawless.
I had experienced some negative things as well which I will mention first. I had several late notifications, at least two occurrences where person is not detected at all (on the notifications), and it constantly “recognizes” branches from my front tree as human. I say at least two because it didn’t detected me on two different occasions but did detect my son who was walking 10ft behind me and video starts with him walking toward the house after I was already inside. As previously mentioned I am also not fan of the mount which makes bell easy to be removed (with paper clip only), tempered or to be stolen, and plastic release pins cannot compare strength to screws. It’s practical for installation but vulnerable for those with bad intentions too. This device does not seem to have internal battery and losing the power or flipping the breaker does turn off/disable the device instantly. Also please include vertical angle mount, it’s very important to see packages on the ground especially for those whose house is built with vinyl siding that has vertical slope up and ring ends up recording sky and horizon.
Now about good things which I honestly love. With 2k full hd lens and 160 wide viewing angle provides great video quality and large area of coverage, day or night. Audio quality is I will say very decent. Motions sensor is the best I have seen and detects movements all the way to its visibility – if preferred motion zone is large. Local storage makes this great device for two reasons: you don’t have to pay for any subscription to save and access your video and most importantly it saves them locally so even if you internet goes down videos are still recorded, saved and accessible later. Other very important feature is that you can enable 24/7 recordings and capture video of everything in the front of your doors, constantly for 5 days. This is very great in case of the event where you want to see everything not just random parts motion clips, and this is what I called real security device. Facial snapshot notification feature is extremely helpful and I love it. Mobile application is user friendly but options rich which allows you to change bunch of settings and customize it to your own needs.
Pros:
______________________
5 days of continuously recording
Local storage
Recording not network dependable
Great area of coverage
Good motion sensor
Great video quality
2 way audio
Facial snapshot notification
Smart zones
Highly customizable
Cons:
______________________
Mounting – easy to be removed
Missing some events (on the notification)
Some delayed notifications
Lack of vertical mount bracket for vinyl siding
No battery

Great wireless kit for all your devices
on September 29, 2020
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
Packaging:
Very clean and simple packaging with wireless devices (transmitter & receiver), 5v power adapters for each device, HDMI cable, IR, blaster, IR receiver and instructions
……….
Setup:
Extremely easy setup which is really simple plug and play, as long as you pay attention to “transmitter” and “receiver” markings.
……….
Experience:
Honestly I have been looking for something like this for a while and I am glad that I found this. I live in split level house and it’s nearly impossible to run cords from one floor to other (it would require running cables through walls and 2 separated attics). I am using this primarily for my surveillance system which is located in the basement and to TV in my living room on the main floor, which sits on concrete slab. Beside floor difference itself, 3 walls in between and about 20-25ft distance between transmitter and receiver, device works well, with good picture quality (could get little blurry at times). I also did experienced few random disconnections where device would get blue screen with “connecting” message out of nowhere. Device reconnected back itself 3 times and once I had to power cycle them in order to get them connected to each other, so I will take one star away because of this.
……….
Conclusion
This wireless device definitely made my life easier. It saved me bunch of work, time and money – not to mention my house walls
……….
Pros:
Easy setup
Wireless
Long range
Good picture quality
Works with almost all devices
……….
Cons:
Few disconnections
Picture loses quality

Great monitor with everything you need

Packaging:
Very nice and clean packaging inside of large and nice box with soft colors and picture of monitor.
----------------------
Setup:
Very easy setup which does not require any tools at all.
----------------------
Experience:
First built seems to be very sturdy and plastic materials used feel nice and enhanced, especially back plate where mount is attached. Beautiful IPS monitor with adjustable height stand, which both rotates and tilts. Stand is very easy removable by push up /release button if you want to use VESA mount. First 4K resolution provides beautiful and sharp images and makes computer use very pleasant for both work and fun. I love to watch videos on this screen which has amazing resolution, anti-glare glass, and to my surprise monitor even has two very decent integrated speakers of 3 watt each. Monitor has 2 HDMI inputs, one DisplayPort which can be used for PiP or PbP mode (two video source on one screen, could be from same or different device) and 3,5mm audio jack output. Volume has control button next to video control buttons at right bottom of the screen. Device seems to hold sturdy when moved, rotated or tilted.

This computer is great, it does everything I need it to do, plus some. I love being able to use it as a laptop or tablet.

What when you travel?
September 8, 2014
Will you carry your router with you and ask people at Starbucks to plug it in so you can check your emails? I am guessing you will do same thing with hotels, airports and other locations? Keep in mind if you travel international you might need to get another router for 220V so your computer might go online because computer that requires special router is waste of money.

My phone overheated
By Erik77 from Illinois
My PRE-ORDERED phone arrived defective and BestBuy promised me immediate replacement as soon I sent defective unit back. I been on the phone with them for 35 times and they screw me up after days and days of waiting. Now they want to cancel my order and provide me a refund??? I need phone, one you promised me! What happened with your service??? Be honest and keep my review and have someone contact me back!

Mess put me in situation that I have no phone
November 3, 2014
Maybe they cannot give instant replacement (but they should have one with in a week) and don't want to honor their promise, but they should specially when someone does not have old phone anymore (sold when received new which turns out was defective. I just received email that BestBuy is processing refund which should take couple of days. Problem is next: don't have phone for that line, didn't get money back yet, and they didn't reset upgrade availability so I can buy myself another device (different which was available). This is my first and last PRE-ORDER with Best Buy. Sorry guys but you lost my trust.

This model is also efexed by Toshiba WiFi issue
By Erik77 from Illinois
Design is great, speed is ok, sound is amazing but WiFi SUCKS. Of course Toshiba wants to charge your for support which I am not accepting. I provably will return this to best buy and my business with Toshiba is done once for all. This is their 3rd model with same issue

missing internal hardware out of the box.
By Spike
purchased this computer brand new, got it home and plugged it in, and... "Blue screen of death."
There was no hard drive installed on the machine when it was assembled. Ten minutes after i bought the computer i was back at Best Buy returning it. When i walked up to the service desk with the new lenovo, the first thing out of their mouth was "is the power cord not working?" no... i had a different problem, but thanks for the heads up.
I returned the Yoga 2 Pro and got a Toshiba Radius 15.6" with all the bells and whistles, and i'm very happy that i did. The Toshiba is GREAT! I wasn't comfortable being loyal to a product that allowed such a glaring manufacturing oversight. Later i would find out about the SD card not fitting all the way into the body of the laptop, and the micro HDMI port breaking if you use it too much (which i had intended to), and i am even happier with my decision to go with the Toshiba.

Does this have a Display port? From the images it appears to. But from the specifications it does not list one.

Yes, it does have a DisplayPort
