AMAZING Device and Picture Quality
on October 20, 2022
Posted by: BillK
What an amazing device!! I have not used a short throw projector in the past so it was interesting to get to try this one out and I was completely impressed.
First, the device looks excellent with a modern design that is not overly large and obtrusive. The device will fit on most TV stands or small tables. One huge benefit of this over projectors is that it does not need to sit far away from the wall/screen. It basically needs to be less than 12" from the wall and will not sacrifice picture quality.
The picture itself is able to be projected up to 150"! This is amazing. With the 4K resolution the quality is excellent. I used it for watching sports (amazing!), gaming (incredible!), and watching movies (theater experience).
The setup is very easy. Using the Epson app, you are able to size the screen appropriately. It also adjusts so there is no bleed from the screen. Excellent setup!
The screen quality rivals 4K TV's and also includes HDR.
The price is high. However, if you are looking for a quality and flexible video system, this is the one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Phone and Great Features
on October 20, 2022
Posted by: BillK
There are many Android phones on the market and this may be the best one I have used.
First, you get stock Android directly from the manufacturer. This means you will always get the latest OS updates from Google. Android has always been a great system and the Pixel line optimizes the operating system.
The build quality of the device is excellent. It feels like a premium device with a very solid build and an amazing screen that barely any bezels. The camera bump is unique to the Pixel. I typically dont care much for cameras on phones and its not the primary reason I select a phone. However, this camera design is less intrusive than may other phones. Also, as far as camera's go, this device has amazing features including the ability to remove items from photos. The quality of the camera is excellent as well.
The speed of the device is the next best feature after the screen. It is incredibly responsive with basically no lag.
Overall if you are looking for a device that gets the best out of Android this is a very strong contender.

Great Multi Purpose Cooker
on October 16, 2022
Posted by: BillK
Needed to update an air fryer that I have had for several years. This device proves to be an excellent fryer as well as a multi purpose device.
First, it runs quiet and is easy to operate. It fits well on the counter and is easy to clean in the dish washer. From a design standpoint, it is solid.
As far as options, this device will allow you to air fry, broil, bake, reheat, and roast. It does all very well. Using it as a simple air fryer provides crisp fries, fried chicken, and great tasting vegetables. It works as well as any other fryer. I then baked apple cobbler and it cooked to perfection. It didnt overcook or burn and made it much easier than in the oven.
From there I roasted beef roast with vegetables. It was much quicker than an oven and cooked everything very well. The roast was moist and the vegetables were tender.
Finally I reheated some burgers. Burgers dont reheat well but this device did a very nice job without drying them out.
I did not get a chance to broil anything.
Overall this is an excellent choice when looking for a multi use device. I would highly recommend it.

Whisper Quiet and Easy to Run
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: BillK
I have tried several other air systems over the years. Most of them make so much noise it’s hard to run them. Make not mistake, this unit is whisper quiet. It’s so quiet I wasn’t even sure it was on and running. The display on the front is the best way to know if it is working.
Speaking of the display, it’s an interesting metric that shows you how clean the air is as a percentage of 0-100%. There is no missing how well the device is working got how clean your air is.
The unit is incredibly easy to set up. You do need to take the filter out to unwrap it but there is no problem with that. I haven’t had it long enough to know how long the filter lasts but the instructions say at least a year.
The device does stand a out 2.5ft tall so make sure you have a place that will fit it. Again, it’s so quiet the wherever you have it should not be an issue.
It does have one interesting feature in that you can set it to blow warm, clean air. A nice feature for those cool days.
Overall, this is the best air cleaner I have used and would highly recommend it.

Great Sound at Manageable Price
on October 4, 2022
Posted by: BillK
Most TV's have great sound to go along with great picture. However there are times when there a times some enhanced sound would be beneficial. Sports, movies, and video games are where enhanced sound is needed. The Bose Smart Soundbar 600 fits the bill perfectly.
Bose makes many different soundbars at various prices. This soundbar is a good midrange option that provides enhanced sound including bass. It also is a smart soundbar which means it will connect to your wi-fi network for updates and the ability to run apps directly on the device. I installed the SiriusXM app and it worked perfectly. The phone app is easy to use and provides the needed features to manage the device.
As far as sound, the lower range of bass is very impressive. The sound is rich and really adds to video game expereince. The rest of the sound range is very good as well.
The remote is easy to use. The soundbar itself is smaller than many soundbars and fits well on a stand or mounted on the wall. It comes with an hdmi and optical audio cable.

Great Detector With Wealth of Featuees
on October 3, 2022
Posted by: BillK
I haven’t used a radar detector in many years. I typically drive a bit above the speed limit so really haven’t had the need. However as a bit of added protection I was happy to give this device a try.
It’s very easy to set up and get going. It has a nice carrying bag as well as a windshield mount and a long enough power cable. The size is low profile as well.
I tried the detector in both urban as well as on the freeway. In urban setting it did a great job of earning while not being too sensitive. I was alerted to both radar and laser (one time). On the open road the sensativity was very good and alerted me well before I came upon the trooper. The laser detection worked great. Also, the ability for multi directional scanning really helped to let me know a possible direction of the signal. The ability for the device to show current speed limit was nice as well.
Overall I was very impressed with the functionality of this device. While it is a bit on the expensive side, I think it is really worth the investment for a little piece of mind.

Another Great HP Printer
on August 29, 2022
Posted by: BillK
HP seems to make the best printers out there and this one is no exception. This compact but rich printer is definitely worth the purchase.
Size - this printer is designed to fit into smaller spaces than most printers similar. There are no trays or other items sticking out (other than the one paper try)
Toner- the biggest challenge with most printers is they use a good deal of toner. While I have only used this printer for a short time, the level of toner has not decreased and I expect to get a good yield.
Speed - one of the biggest challenges with home printers is the time it takes for them to print. This printer is very responsive once you hit print with very little delay.
Compatibility - I tried this printer with both a Windows machine and a Mac and both ran flawlessly. The setup for the Windows machine was very easy and the Mac was able to find it wirelessly as well.

Great Conditioner with Two Things to Be Aware Of
on August 21, 2022
Posted by: BillK
This product overall is a solid portable air conditioner. It cools the room as well as dehumidifies the air to make the room more comfortable. The range of the cooling is very good as well. We have found that it covers an open area 700 sq ft but also will go further into two rooms we have even though the cooling is rather limited.
Pros:
*. Solidly built - this product is put together well and is solid with no discernible rattling or secondary noise. Keep in mind this unit is 70 lbs so carrying it can be a challenge.
*. Good cooling power
*. Wheels! not that big of a deal but the wheels go over surfaces very easy.

Cons:
*. You need a horizontal opening window to vent the hot air outside. While this is not a deal killer, it makes it a decision on whether to get this or an in window unit. The portability is somewhat limited.
*. you need a hose to drain this unit from time to time. You may be able to use a bucket or something to do it without a hose but the preferred way is to use a garden hose to grain the water to a sink or outside.

Great Drive with Fast Read/Write
on August 12, 2022
Posted by: BillK
SSD storage is the current option for storage. There are many options out there for storage but I found this drive to be very fast and useable. Crucial is a well known brand and has been building memory for quite some time. This product continues the positive track record.
First, it installs with no problem. It fits all standard SSD drives and is easily found in Windows. It has cooling options built in and will also work with any cooling paste built in to the workstation.
I installed may applications including games such as MS Flight Simulator that requires regular access to the hard drive to run at high speeds and frame rate. This drive handled that with no issues.
Since this was a large drive I partitioned it into two 1TB drives using Windows Disk Manager and it worked with no problem.
Overall, this drive met everything I needed and I see it being a long term option and don't expect any issues from it. If you are looking for a drive that will be fast, easy to install, and reliable, this is a great option.

Great Reputation but Limited Features
on August 12, 2022
Posted by: BillK
Norton has a long history of providing malware scanning and protection. I have used it in the past and looked to give it another try.
Regarding the Norton 360 Deluxe, the product is fairly easy to install and fairly easy to configure. The windows install is pretty seamless. For Mac, there are more hoops to jump through to get it set up but that is not the fault of Norton but the security features of Mac. However it is worth noting
One thing that I feel is a negative is that the features are difficult to find and manage. Should be a little more accessible. Also, the VPN is a separate charge.
For LifeLock, I can't for the life of me find the application or settings. It may be another install but I cannot find it. While it may be completely set up and running, it's not very clear.
Overall, the program does what it is intended to do for scanning and Norton's history of providing quality protection makes this a good option for protection. For LifeLock, again it may be my issue, but it's touch to find how it is set up.
