GoPro set the standard and delivers every time!
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: Doug
from California
I have used GoPro camera since the GoPro 4 and have had every version of the GoPro HERO Black since that time. This is the action camera that sets the standard and delivers no matter where you are or what you're doing. I have used GoPro while mountain biking, flying Cessna 172's and swimming in Hawaii. The camera is so versatile it's insane. When the GoPro HERO10 Black was announced my first thought was "... wait, what about all the accessories I have for the HERO 9 Black?" Thankfully, the GoPro HERO Black is compatible with the earlier edition and I'm able to reuse the batteries, enclosures and the Max Lens Mod, for example.
The GoPro Hero Black delivers with a new GP2 processor which allows 5.3K at 60 frames per second and 4K at an astounding 120 frames per second. All this with Hyper Smooth Image Stabilization and it's even waterproof to 33 feet!
If you're looking for simply the best action camera on the planet the only question you'll need to ask your self is, is one enough?

Lightweight Effective Vacuum
on June 18, 2021
Posted by: Doug
from California
One of the first things you notice about this Vacuum is how small and lightweight it is although it's surprisingly powerful considering it's lightweight design. It picks up everything with ease and glides effortlessly over our wood floors and carpets. It's also not nearly as loud as you'd expect from a vacuum and it's extremely comforting to know it kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria with RayClean UV+. Seriously wondering how we lived without this!!!

Sonos Quality while on the Roam
on April 24, 2021
Posted by: Doug
from California
Sonos Roam is the speaker that I had been waiting to add to my Sonos System. I have several Sonos components at home including the Sonos One, Sonos Port, Sonos Beam and Sonos Move. The Sonos Roam takes the sound quality that you have come to expect from Sonos and packs it into an amazingly small package. It is almost (not quite) small enough to fit into your pocket and definitely fits nicely into a backpack for carrying with you almost anywhere.
Just like other Sonos speakers you download the Sonos S2 app, from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and setup the speaker within the app. As soon as I had powered on the Sonos Roam speaker and opened the app, the Sonos Roam had been discovered and the app was prompting me to setup the speaker.
As expected from Sonos, the setup process was extremely simple and the app walks you through each step. While at home you'll likely use the Sonos Roam like any other Sonos speaker, connected to your home WiFi and controlled from the Sonos app. As soon as you're away from home that's where the simplicity of Bluetooth comes into play, simply connect to the speaker via Bluetooth from any compatible device.
As for the sound quality. It's what you have come to expect from Sonos, a truly impressive sound quality that can be optimized for any room or location using the Trueplay calibration.
I'll hopefully be taking the a commercial flight overseas soon and the Sonos Roam will definitely be with me. When you're going to roam, make sure you have your Sonos Roam with you!

Bowers & Wilkins Never Disappoints!
on February 18, 2021
Posted by: Doug
from California
Several years ago I walked into a Best Buy looking for shelf speakers and had my eye initially on another brand until an employee introduced me to Bowers and Wilkins. When you hear Bowers and Wilkins speakers for the first time it is the audio equivalent of seeing in color for the first time. The depth and range of the audio is indescribable. I now have Bowers and Wilkins speakers in two rooms as well as their outdoor speakers and Bowers and Wilkins never disappoints. The sense of the quality and craftsmanship in these speakers is evident from the moment you take them out of the box and they will look as good in your home as they sound. As an engineer I always like to see the connections on the back of speakers and audio components and so I have provided a photo of the 606 S2 Series Anniversary Edition speakers for those that are interested. Whether you are looking to add incredible music to your home or to bring movies to life, these speakers will definitely deliver. Personally, I'm looking forward to watching many of my favorite movies again just so that I can experience the audio like never before. As to the technical details of the speaker. It's recommended that you pair the 606 S2 Series Anniversary Edition speakers with an amplifier in the range of 30W to 120W. The incredible audio experience is delivered a 6.5" midrange speaker and a 1" high frequency speaker. These are packaged in a 2 way vented box that is 13.5" H 7.5" W and 11.8" D that weighs in at just over 15 pounds. If you are looking for incredible shelf speakers, your search is over and these will not disappoint.

Stylish Toaster
on December 7, 2020
Posted by: Doug
from California
The Cafe Specialty Toaster will look stylish on any kitchen counter and the three colors available means you can match your kitchen counters and/or appliances.
We’ve made toast, bagels and English muffins and all have come out exceptionally nice.
If you’re looking for a toaster that is as good looking as it is effective then look no further.
We have the stainless steel color version and it looks incredible in our kitchen. It’s also available in white or black. The cord is also nice and long which was notable as some toasters were have had in the past had relatively short power cords.
Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow as I’m sure you will be if you add this toaster to your kitchen.

Good camera for kids
on November 4, 2020
Posted by: Doug
from California
The Canon Ivy Cliq 2 instant film camera will be nostalgic to many of us that grew up with instant cameras. It's also at a price point that makes it affordable as a fun camera for kids or teenagers. If you're looking for a camera that produces really exceptional quality photos though then this camera may not be for you as the print resolution according to Canon is 314x600 dpi with a 5MP camera. The camera itself has no built in storage and so you may want to consider adding a MicroSD memory card (up to 256GB). The battery life is quite good with the ability to take approximately 25 photos between charges and the battery is charged with a Micro USB cable.

Productivity Reimagined - Surface Duo is Awesome!!
on September 18, 2020
Posted by: Doug
from California
Microsoft reimagined the tablet with the first Surface tablet in 2012 and they have continued to push the envelope, reimagining how we approach work, school and/or play on our devices.
This time the Surface team have reimagined how productive we can be with a mobile device. The Surface Duo is an absolutely incredible device. It's designed with two screens that opens like a book and it's amazing how quickly you become used to running apps on either screen or enlarging an app to use both screens. The device is incredibly thin at only 4.8mm. Each screen measures 5.6" which together provide an 8.1 inches in a phone that folds and easily fits into your pocket. If you cannot quite picture in your mind how incredibly thin 4.8 mm is, consider this is only slightly more than the thickness of the USB-C port on the side of the device.
I had personally spent very little time with the Android OS although I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to learn how to use the operating system and the apps on the Surface Duo.
If you use Microsoft Office 365 then you'll be immediately productive as your previously opened documents and spreadsheets etc. will be ready to open and it's amazing how useful that extra screen space can be when editing a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet. If you use OneNote then you'll love the fact that you can use the Surface Slim Pen (or the original Surface Pen) with the Surface Duo!
After work, that extra screen space can be really nice when watching a movie or simply catching up on social media.
I truly believe that the Surface team has again created a device that will lead the way with being productive while mobile. The Surface Duo will definitely get the attention of friends, family and strangers alike. They will be impressed but not nearly as impressed as they will be when they get their hands on one themselves.
The design is truly inspiring. I'm still in awe that they managed to place a finger print reader on the side of the device. You remember me saying the device is only 4.8mm thick. That means they designed and built a finger print reader that fits on the side of a 4.8mm thin device. Incredible.
This isn't my first Surface, it definitely won't be my last, but this just might be the one I have had the most fun with.
Note: Pictured alongside the Surface Duo is the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen. This is not included with the Surface Duo and is an accessory that can be purchased from Best Buy separately. This is definitely worth getting as it can be used to write and draw in apps such as Microsoft OneNote. It will also magnetically attach to the side of the Surface Duo.

The Shark Vertex Powered Lift-Away is an ultra-powerful Shark upright, featuring DuoClean PowerFins. While the soft front roller pulls in particles, PowerFins deliver nonstop contact to pick up more in every pass (vs. original DuoClean). Plus, Powered Lift-Away lets you detach the pod to go under furniture with the motorized nozzle, or clean above the floor with a push of a button.

Excellent Vacuum - Versatile & Maneuverable
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: Doug
from California
We have been using the Shark Vertex Duo Clean Engage Upright Vacuum with Powered Lift-away for several days now and have been extremely impressed with how well it cleans and how easy it is to empty.
The suction of this vacuum seems to be extremely powerful and it works well on both carpet as well as hardwood flooring.
We live in a fairly large home and so we also appreciated the length of the power cord as it reduces the number of times you need to plug the vacuum into an alternative outlet.
As an engineer myself, I would have to say that I was impressed with the build quality of this vacuum. It feels like it was engineered to last which is something I look for in products. My wife on the other hand really liked the fact that this vacuum came in Rose Gold. She said it is the first vacuum she thought was pretty.
The vacuum is also extremely versatile and maneuverable. The designers considered the tight spaces you sometimes need to vacuum, such as under tables. The lift away feature makes it also easy to use while vacuuming the stairs, something that many upright vacuum cleaners do not excel at. This is a great feature as it really means that this is the one vacuum that can do it all in our home.
In our home we also have two teenagers, a dog and two cats. As such, we're a good proving ground for vacuum cleaners. This one has really stepped up to the challenge and cleans up well after the kids and our pets.
If you're looking for a powerful vacuum cleaner that is well made and can keep up with a large home with children and pets then look no further!

Near Perfect Gaming Keyboard
on August 6, 2020
Posted by: Doug
from California
As I'm sure many parents reading this can relate, my son has spent a good amount of time during the pandemic playing PC and Xbox games while his school has been closed.
He really loved the lighting effects of the keyboard and the fact it can be controlled without the need for extra software to be installed. There are simple presets listed on the back of the box that control the lighting, essentially the Fn + Ctrl + (number) and so they are easy to remember.
The small size means it's great for when he wants to take the keyboard on the road or over to a friends house and the detachable USB cable is great as you sometimes find the point of attachment to be a point of weakness on keyboards where the cable is attached permanently.
The 2 year warranty on the keyboard is also a nice added extra and illustrates this is a quality product through and through.

The SoundTouch® 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That’s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort™ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose® PhaseGuide® technology makes you believe you’re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ® audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI™ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch® app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch® speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black

Disappointed
By glspark2007
I have to say, this Bose sound bar was not what I was hoping for. It did not live up to expectations. I felt like set-up should have been a lot simpler than it was. The directions were incredibly limited and left a lot of unanswered questions.
Plus, there apparently isn't much in the way of support on Bose's website or their app for the new Soundtouch 300. I tried to set-up the Wifi through my home network but couldn't find the network that was supposed to be in my settings. I went through all of the steps on Bose's website for troubleshooting this, nothing worked. The Bose app doesn't even list the Soundtouch 300 yet!
Also, I'm not sure if it was my TV or the sound bar, but I couldn't not connect the sound bar using HDMI ARC. I had to use the optical cord instead.
All in all, the overall experience was below my expectations. Everything was frustrating, including trying to set up the universal remote with my devices. Nothing seemed to go like it was supposed to. I'm definitely not the most tech savvy person, but I can usually set up my new electronics without too much difficulty. I expected better from Bose (especially at this price point).

HDMI ARC
October 17, 2016
I was able to get the Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar to work with my Sony XBR-55X930D TV through the HDMI ARC connector. The manual provides some information about setting this up with an optical connection being available if HDMI ARC is either unavailable or you have issues with that connection. The Sony TV settings did not have a setting for CEC as referenced in the Bose manual although apparently the CEC setting is known by other names by various manufacturers. Would recommend calling Bose and/or the TV manufacturer for support.

Where are these speaker’s made?

While these speakers are designed in the UK they are made in China although, with that said, they sound incredible and the quality of the speakers is truly impressive.

The Linksys Velop MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system gives you more speed, coverage, and capacity than it ever has before. Wi-Fi 6 combined with Velop's Intelligent Mesh™ technology delivers true Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds, up to 5.3 Gbps, to every corner of your home, even the backyard and outdoor smart home devices. Wi-Fi 6 also sends and receives multiple streams of data simultaneously and reduces latency, providing up to 4x more capacity compared to Wi-Fi 5 technology. So, it can handle the demands of up to 50 devices and more, from laptops and gaming consoles to smart home devices and 4K TVs, all competing for the same bandwidth. You'll also always have a more efficient Wi-Fi experience with OFDMA that enables more data to and from your devices in a more streamlined manner. And, with BSS technology, congestion is also minimized eliminating interference from nearby wireless networks to deliver a strong, clear Wi-Fi signal to your home, so you won't have to worry about your neighbor's Wi-Fi interfering with yours again. You'll even have 7x more battery life with Target Wake Time that reduces network interference, allowing your devices to remain in sleep mode longer. The MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system is a part of Velop's modular system, so if you need more coverage, just add more nodes. Plus, setup is fast with the Linksys app, so you can enjoy the next evolution of Wi-Fi in minutes.
 

Would the 2 piece system be Overkill for 3000 square feet?

We're using the AX5300 in our home which is 2600 square feet and the two nodes provide near perfect Wi-Fi throughout the home. I would definitely recommend having at least two nodes, especially having one upstairs and one downstairs for maximum coverage. That said, at the moment both of our nodes are downstairs and we're having no issues at all.

can u still use Keurig - My K-Cup® Universal Reusable Coffee Filter on the new machine??

This brewer is compatible with the Keurig Side Reservoir Water filter although it isn't included. You can purchase it as an accessory or use one from a previous Keurig if upgrading. It is not compatible with the rear reservoir water filter used in other Keurig models, only the side reservoir water filter.

Does it need the filters?

It does not come with the Side Reservoir Water Filter that has been provided with earlier models. It is compatible but must be purchased separately. If the water you use is already filtered you may not choose to purchase this accessory but it's available if you'd prefer.

It connects to your TV wirelessly or with an HDMI cable, and it pairs with Bluetooth devices for audio streaming.

Hi, does this soundbar support Dolby Atmos? It says it does on Sony's website: https://www.sony.com/electronics/sound-bars/ht-x9000f/buy/htx9000f It's confusing that it doesn't show Atmos support on your site.

The soundbar has a sticker on it indicating it supports Dolby Atmos and the Dobly Atmos logo is also on the product manual. It definitely supports Dolby Atmos.

If the product does support Dolby Atmos, why don't you list that in the description or specifications? Also, why doesnt it show up when I filter for Dolby Atmos sound bars? You should fix your site.

Yes, it does indeed support Dolby Atmos. Hopefully BestBuy can make it such that this can be searchable.

Is it possible to replace the hard drive and upgrade to a SSD?

You can search the HP website for the Upgrading and Servicing Manual and while this is likely not something for the average consumer to attempt, you should be able to upgrade the memory or storage assuming you're comfortable with building or maintaining a PC.

The following URL will take you to the HP Upgrading and Servicing Manual.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
 

If I took this to the UK will it work on their plugs?

The power adapter is voltage sensing and supports 110v to 240v and so you would simply need a plug adapter available at the airport or most electronics stores.

Is it compatible with 240v as well?

The power adapter supplied with the Google Home appears to support 110v to 240v, so you would simply need an adapter for the plug to work in the UK (for example).
