Great Multi Purpose Vaccum
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: BillK
from Minnesota
I needed a vaccum for downstairs and for smaller jobs. This one does the trick very well. It's easy to assemble, very light and maueuverable, and POWERFUL. I first used it where I had vaccumed recently and it still picked up pet hair. The settings provide excellent power for many types of surfaces. I would recommend this vaccum for many different purposes.

Great, easy to Us Storage But Lacking Some Options
on September 17, 2017
Posted by: BillK
from Minnesota
Having used a previous generation of this HP storage line I had great hopes for this generation. The system is very easy to set up and to start backing up your Mac or PC devices. It's also great to be able to wirelessly backup your photos on your Android or iOS devices. A final handy feature is the ability to backup your cloud storage from other services (Dropbox, Google Photos, One Drive, etc). This allows you to have a local copy of what is on these services.
There are a few items that would be nice if the system could do. First, the ability to backup more than just photos on your Android and iOS devices. Second, better file management via the app would be helpful.
However, these items are not a show stopper by any means. If you are looking for easy to use cloud storage for home, this solution will fit that need nicely.

Good Picture Quality, Low on Features
on August 8, 2017
Posted by: BillK
If you are looking for a good quality 4K Blu Ray Player, the LG UP970 provides very good picture quality. Where the device lacks is in the ability to make changes to the system. The menu is VERY simple for a $300 player. There are basically no settings to adjust for picture, apps, etc. The device does come loaded with two apps but I have not been able to find how to add more if its possible.
Again, if all you want is a player that provides the screen resolution you would expect, then this player will do it. If you want a player that will give you more configuration options (which I would expect with a $300 player), then this may be a bit basic for you.

Easy to Use and Great Results
on July 26, 2017
Posted by: BillK
Have not used a hot air fryer before and wanted to try something that was healthier but easy to use. Found this unit to provide that on both fronts. The fryer itself is sturdy, easy to care for and clean, and did a great job of air frying/cooking all types of meals. The receipies included are very easy to prepare and there is a companion smartphone app that will provide many additional recipies for meals, snacks and pastries that you can cook in this device.
I dont really have anything to compare this unit to as it is the first one I have ever used but I am very satisfied with the results so far.

Good Sound But Standard Features
on July 13, 2017
Posted by: BillK
I have used several bluetooth stereo headsets. The JBL 310 is a very good on the ear headset that delivers adequate, not excellent, sound in an easy use to ue device. The pairing with the iPhone was simple and straightfoward. The ability to mange sound settings is not as straight forward as I have not found where I can adjust bass, treble, etc using the headset. This line does have an interesting feature where you can have another bluetooth headset (does not need to be JBL brand) connect to your headset via bluetooth and share what you are listening to.
For the price, there are several options avaialble out there now and this pair should be part of your consideration. However, more management of the headset sound would be useful.

Lightweight and Fit in Ears Well
on July 10, 2017
Posted by: BillK
One of the main things I look for in a pair of bluetooth headphones is that they are not bulky and will stay in the ear. I am a runner and the constant bobbing motion of running regularly jars bluetooth headsets out of my ears or at least are combersome where I need to deal with them regularly.
This pair of bluetooth headphones is different. They are smaller profile and fit in the ears well. The sound is excellent and pairing them with a bluetooth device is easy.
There are many options for bluetooth headphones but I would add these to the list to check out.

Great Monitor with Amazing Refresh Rate
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: BillK
Received this product for my son who is an avid gamer on the computer. Connected the monitor via HDMI to his machine and he was incredibly impressed with the difference it made from his previous monitor. The colors are crisp and the action flows smoothly due ot the high refresh rate. Very happy with this monitor and would recommend it to anyone looking for a serious mid level gaming panel.

Good Sound for Competitive Price
on June 22, 2017
Posted by: BillK
I have a 65 inch 4k TV and it amazes me that what is lacking on televisions of this size is quality sound. I wanted to get richer sound so decided to give the Samsung soundbar a try. Its compact but gives full sound and the subwoofer is built in so there is not an extra, bulky compoent to deal with. Its very easy to set up and connects to wifi for auto updates as well as the ability to connect to various music services.
While there are more expensive sound systems giving a more theater like experience, I think this sound bar is well worth the $399 price point.

Good Sound and Quality but not Best At Price Point
on May 25, 2017
Posted by: BillK
The Audio Technica bluetooth headphones have good sound quality, good battery life, and are comfortable to wear. They are very much a servicable pair of headphones. They are easy to setup and connect to your bluetooth media player of choice and they stay connected without unexpected cut outs.
What doesnt set them apart is the sound quality and features at the advertised price point of $199. There are other quality headsets that may offer better sound that can be had around this price point either at retail price or on sale that should be explored as well. However, if this headset price is reduced or on sale, it would receive a strong recommendation.
Overall, pleased with this headset and you will not be disappointed.

Replace the keyboard of your Microsoft Surface Pro 7, 6, 5 or 4 with this silver Brydge keyboard. It conveniently lets you open the screen at your preferred viewing angle without a kickstand, and its backlit keys increase visibility in low light working environments. This Brydge keyboard is lightweight, so it doesn't add extra bulk to your device.

Great Build and Design
on May 17, 2017
Posted by: BillK
Have a Surface Pro 3, I do use an external keyboard quite often. Until now it has been a detached bluetooth keyboard. I tried the Brydge 12.3 and was very impressed with the keyboad design (it will be familiar as its similar to a company named after a fruit) and the build is very solid. The setup and connection were a piece of cake with Windows 10 and the response and usabilty have been great! I do have my Surface is an otterbox case (I did drop it and crack the screen costing $275) so that is a little bit of a struggle. but i am able to make it work. However, if you have a similar case, just know it wont simply slide into the tablet holders on the keyboard.
Overall I am very impressed with this keyboard and would recommend it.
