Nice sounding speaker/subwoofer for TV
on October 14, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Setup of this soundbar is pretty simple. I was able to pair using Bluetooth and also routed audio through the optical cable from the back of my TV to the soundbar. Note that you don't get the ability to control the volume over optical whereas you do over RCA (on most TV's). The sound quality with RCA is still good but obviously, the sound coming in over Optical is completely digital. For regular TV and movies, there may be a barely noticeable difference on this system so I wouldn't let that deter you and it still sounds better than the built-in audio most flat panel TV's have. The USB port is so you can plug in a USB thumb drive to play audio so you have that option as well.
For ease of use, this setup is probably about as easy as it comes if you're looking for something that sounds good that you can just plugin and go with. You can wall-mount it and the subwoofer is completely wireless so you can put it out of sight (I put mine behind the sofas in the corner of the room).
Sound quality-wise, this system is solid and performs as good or better than competing soundbars. In fact, I have an LG system on another TV that sounds half as good as this system, a huge plus for this system. Granted the only thing that I wish it had was HDMI ARC compatibility (so there's only one cord and no audio cords or remotes needed). Outside of that though this is perfect to replace having the flimsy sound that most TV's have built-in these days. In all, I'd recommend this system!

Great air fryer and oven!
on October 9, 2019
Posted by: btb2k

This toaster oven is easy to use and works great! It came packaged well and setup was easy. The only thing I'd say is to keep in mind that this toaster oven does need some clearance behind it as it does vent hot air behind it. It fit perfectly on the counter in a corner.
So far I've been able to make various things, everything from frozen biscuits to toasted bagels and more. It heats up quick and saves a lot of time from heating up the big oven to cook something small.
Definitely like the adjustable racks and the fact there is a basket for air frying with a tray. It allows for a good amount of flexibility so you can use one or both shelve when cooking.
In all, I'd definitely recommend this oven!

The Sprocket is a must have for quick prints
on October 2, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Love this little printer, it's easy to set up with the app and makes zipping out prints from phone or tablet a breeze. I've connected it to my iPad and my iPhone XS Max and zipped out a few prints. Right off the bat first thing I noticed is the print quality is much improved over the old version that I have. It's definitely worth an upgrade that's for sure!
The sticky prints are great for scrapbooking, doing collages or sticking on the wall (which I've done in my cubicle at work. It's perfect!
It does work on its own battery and comes with a micro USB cable to charge it with. Unlike the prior model, it has a nice finish that looks great and fits nicely in my laptop bag. In my testing so far, I can't really find anything that I don't like other than things I wish it could do like taking non-stick paper or the ability to print the smaller or larger zink papers. The print size it does is great though.
The App, which is probably the most important thing, does work well and enables you to create custom stickers, print photos and edit them before you print them. It really is much more than just an app to print the photos but instead helps you create just about anything with your photos and make your own stickers.I'd definitely recommend this printer to anyone looking for a tool to help with art/scrapbooking and collecting snapshots. If you have a prior generation, this is definitely one that's worth getting as it definitely prints far better than the original model that I have.

Great vacuum, perfect for all floors with pets
on September 15, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
I have a dog and birds with a good amount of traffic through the downstairs part of my home. That creates a challenge for cleaning with having the right tools that can clean multiple surfaces as I also have a combination of rugs, hardwood floors, tile floors, and carpet. This machine is simple, easy to use, works great for my floors and keeping on top of my pets.
Out of the box, it's pretty much ready to go once you have fully charged the battery. Charging didn't seem to take long and even after running it down it seems like it only takes a couple of hours to fully charge. Testing it out first, I ran it to clean up after the birds and it cleaned up the areas near them on the hardwood floors with ease, grabbing everything on the floor. For the rugs and carpets it cleaned those with ease and did as good as my corded Shark vacuum, I was very impressed! The battery lasted for all the cleaning I did downstairs, allowed me to do the stairs and even the carpets upstairs. The amount of time you have on the battery is very impressive and I never did run it all the way down so it works perfectly for keeping up downstairs as I need without the fuss of cords.
The roller does what they say and doesn't seem to get tangled up with hair and yet still picks up dirt, dust and debris with ease. The LED's are a super welcome and nice touch where not even my other Shark stick has that. Emptying is a breeze and like with almost all bagless vacuums I've had hair can get caught up when you empty it so a gentle shake may be needed to get it out. Outside of that, it's easy and clean to empty.
It's light but it is top-heavy and cannot stand on its own so, care needs to be taken to ensure it's not leaned somewhere that it can fall. I did have mine fall and it didn't affect it at all. It does seem durable but I could have just been lucky that it didn't hit hard in the wrong way too so your mileage may vary based on how well it's taken care of.
Having a detachable battery is great, but I do wish it had the option to mount on the wall so I could keep the vac, battery, all of its accessories and everything together while it's charging as opposed to taking up space on a counter or shelf to charge. Overall, for keeping up with my pets this vacuum is great and I'd recommend it even overlooking how you store it while it charges.

Big machine suction power* but with cord-free versatility. The Cyclone V10 Animal Pro bagless cordless pet stick vacuum has a 40% bigger bin than the previous V8 Absolute model and up to 40 minutes of fade-free power with the soft roller cleaner head (in Suction mode 1). The new torque drive cleaner head removes more dust from carpets. The soft roller cleaner head removes fine dust and large debris from hard floors. The Cyclone V10 Animal Pro cord-free vacuum quickly transforms to a handheld vacuum for quick cleanups, spot cleaning, and cleaning difficult places.* Suction tested to ASTM F558 at the flexible inlet.

Fantastic vacuum cleaner!
on September 9, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This is a great machine for any household with multiple types of floors. Setup was super easy and the included wall mounting kit makes it easy to hang for charging virtually anywhere.
Once out of the box, the only assembly that's really needed is the wall mounting kit. Outside of that, just need to do an initial charge that took a couple hours on my unit before using it.
I absolutely loved all of the attachments that come with this vacuum as they give your vacuum flexibility of being able to be used on just about any surface. The bagless design works really well and is really easy to empty - and the way it empties minimizes dust and any mess. The only thing I wish it had was either a special plate to hold all the attachments to the wall or a bag to hang them in either on the wall or nearby.
The most important part of any vacuum is the amount of suction and power that it has in relation to battery life. This unit does not disappoint!! I was able to completely vacuum my kitchen and downstairs area where I have birds and a small dog that's always making a mess on the rugs. What I love about this machine are the different heads and suction power levels that it has. For the rugs, the motorized carpet head works great and is even height adjustable so you can influence the amount of suction that it has for any given surface. Unlike others, I have the medium and lower power settings make it so it doesn't eat up the rug. A quick switch out to the hardwood floor attachment makes it easy to clean up dust, hair and other debris with ease. I was sceptical of battery life and this machine outperforms any I have tried or had in the past. I was able to do my kitchen, dining room, living room and some stairs and only ran the battery down 1 bar with 3 left to go. I'd easily been using it on the medium suction setting for a good 20 minutes solid so very impressed with it in this regard. Also unlike other machines, it didn't get hot on the medium setting and the battery didn't even seem to get warm on my machine - which is a HUGE plus. I've used coreless machines in the past that chew through batteries because they get them hot under heavy use which reduces their overall life greatly and this machine doesn't seem prone to that which made me feel confident in using it for everyday moderate use - very nice!
In all, very impressed with how versatile this machine is and how well it works! I anticipate this machine lasting a good long while and being useful for several years to come. Would definitely recommend!

Impressive! Game on!
on August 25, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This keyboard is beyond anything I'd expected and in comparison to my old Razer feels like the difference between a Corvette and a Camaro (with the Razer being the Camaro). You'll notice before you even open it that this keyboard has some definite weight to it which is great to help keep it firmly in place and you'll notice like there's no plastic bend to this keyboard and no part of it feels cheap or flimsy.
It's superbly responsive for being a wireless keyboard and has no problem keeping up with the complicated sequences of keypresses and macros that you'll use in your games. In testing it so far, I have noticed ZERO lag and drop out in connection to the keyboard while using it. In terms of comfort, this thing is second to none other because it's low profile and yet being mechanical has that responsive touch, sound, and feel you'd expect from a solid mechanical keyboard. In fact, this one unlike others I have had in the past feels even better whether just typing or using it in a game. I tested it using World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 and to me, there was a difference in how it felt to play these games on this vs. my old Razer keyboard. The biggest difference was just how the keys feel/sound and how responsive it is. The macros work perfectly and offer options that will suit most gamers, especially those that play WoW or other similar games that rely upon set sequences based on your own preferences for your character which give it your own unique touch and allows you to focus on the game and less on fumbling around with the keyboard/macros.
I love the flexibility this keyboard offers where it can be used wirelessly with the special adapter which gives it the "lightspeed" connection or Bluetooth which give you the flexibility of connecting to other devices. The charge cable and dongle is a nice braided cable that you'd expect to see with a keyboard like this.
As for the way it looks, WOW! It's a minimalist clean design that I like and offers just enough of the right key options like volume and music controls (and I LOVE the volume wheel) which not all gaming keyboards have or if they do you have to mess around with a silly function button to use them. The software that Logitech includes makes it easy to configure the macros and offers a number of lighting options right out of the box so you don't need to spend a ton of time customizing it. At the same time, it does offer more flexibility with being able to customize the lighting effects and coordinate them with other Logitech devices. I have other LED enabled devices and lighting in the case that, of course, use different software but
it was still easy enough to color coordinate the keyboard with them even though they're not connected/configured the same.
Battery life is superb and I thought that the LED lighting might take a toll on the battery with several hours of gameplay but at the rate I play, I'd say I still have a couple of weeks left without having to charge it and as of this time I'm at about 85% after a few days use. The software does show the charge level and you can charge it while you use it of course if you did forget to charge before you play. The neat thing with the micro USB is that if you do take the keyboard with you to use with a tablet for gaming and you don't have the charging cable with you you can use any other micro USB to charge it.
I think this keyboard is awesome and definitely the BEST one I have owned and used in a long time. Logitech definitely did not cut any corners making this as all the components feel and look premium and most importantly perform to what you would expect from a keyboard like this one. I'd definitely recommend it if you're a gamer and even though this is a gaming keyboard for those that just like mechanical keyboards you will like it and it's low profile design - it's amazing!

Nice grip, good protection!!
on August 21, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This is a great phone case! The grip is awesome and makes it easy to hold my phone confidently without the worry of dropping it. Because of the way the grip goes around to the back it makes it easy to hold your phone with your shoulder too when you need both of your hands for a quick second.
I would trust this case to protect my iPhone in a fairly high fall whether on cement, pavement or carpet. It's tough but yet light and looks good.
It is compatible with the wireless charging and causes no issues there (it's all plastic so why would it, right?). For the front it does have a bit of an edge so the front is somewhat protected in a fall.
Overall, a great case and one I'd definitely recommend.

Awesome water drone!!!!
on July 23, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
I was very skeptical of how this water drone would perform and work in terms of being both a useful tool and something fun to play with. I'll say that the thrill of this thing does not disappoint and while there are some things that could be improved it's overall a very solid machine.
Out of the box you can tell right away that this thing means business. It looks nice and all the components fit well and work well. I was able to immediately see that this thing is built solid (obviously in hopes that it will last a long time). First time out of the box, you'll want to charge all the components but other than that it's ready to hit the water.
Note that the special battery holds the MicroSD card and has a seal on it to prevent water from going inside where it connects to the terminal and the SD card. I'd imagine other components are housed here too so make sure that it's locked in and seated properly to ensure that the seal isn't compromised when it's in the water. This thing is designed to get water inside of all the other parts except that one area - which is a very smart design as there's a whole bunch less to worry about sealing properly.
I really like that it offers different connecitivty options to your phone/tablet or a Remote Control which was included with this one (there are some packages that don't include this). The app prompts you each time so it's easy/quick to connect it the way you want to. Setup with the app on my Apple iPhone XS Max was easy and worked really well, but being a T-Mobile customer didn't pay attention to the message about Camera connectivity with T-Mobile as I thought at first it was a system message/popup. I felt that there should have been instructions on the box or that the message that popped up in the App should have been more clear as it was too easy to just click past it not realizing what doing so would cause in terms of issues. Anyway, once cellular data was turned off, issues with the camera were instantly resolved so, if you're a T-Mobile customer pay attention to the message!!! For me, it's no big deal to turn it off as I wouldn't want my phone ringing while I had this drone out in the middle of the water anyway!!
The controls and modes are nice and give you plenty of flexibility in terms of how you want to use it. I must say it's so easy and a blast to control! If it's your first time using a drone the - whether it's just out on the water having fun with it, or using it to help with fishing. Unforuntely in my state using the bait box to attract any fish would be very illegal, but using it to take the fishing line out would not be which is what I did and it worked VERY WELL! Check your fishing laws/regulations before you use the bait box would be my advice but it also seems like it'd work well too. The App and the controller make it easy to use regardless of which way you're using it but I'd highly recommend having the controller - it's well worth having it. The controller itself is built solid and offers connectivity options either by Wifi or USB and offers the best experience in terms of using it in my opinion. The ONLY thing I absolutely do not like about the controller is that it does not fit my iPhone XS Max with the case on and I could see it definitely not fitting with some cases. Pretty disappointed in this one thing on the controller as I wouldn't want to drop my $1200 iPhone trying to put it in the controller without a case to use this machine. If you have an iPhone XS Max or similarly LARGE size phone.
For distance I went out quite a ways but didn't push it to the limit as it had plenty of distance for my taste. The connection via Wifi is pretty solid but I tested this in an area where there really is no other Wifi around for miles (for that matter barely any cellular service) so, in Wifi dense areas the distance may not go as far, but I was certainly impressed with how solid the connection was for me in relation to the distance it went (several hundred yards or a good 1000 feet I'd estimate). If you are wondering if this thing is fast ... I can definitely say it's very fast! Battery life is awesome and lasted a couple hours in the couple times I've used it so far. Charging times are decently quick too with a partial charge taking about an hour or so, and a full charge a few hours. The charger does get warm so if you're using the charger on the go in a car I'd watch to make sure it doesn't overheat if you're charging it and it's hot in the car.
The camera, GPS and Sonar all work good. Starting with the camera... you may notice some lag or chop in the video when it's out a ways but it still works pretty good. When you download the video off the card you'll notice that there will be no lag/chop so don't worry if you see that as you are using it as it'll be smooth later when you download the clips. The image stabilzation works decent and the quality of the video was much better than I thought it'd be! The GPS locks very quickly and the App does show you how strong of a signal you have with GPS so if the drone is navigating on preset routes that it cand do so and if it does loose connectivity it should be able to return close to where it started though this didn't happen to me. For the Sonar, I was very excited and impressed with how well it works. It works either on the drone detached on it's own and activates when it's in the water. Note that the drone is the same way and will only turn on the props once it's in the water for safety reasons I'd imagine. On that note, I would definitely avoid using it around groups of people or kids that are actually in the water as the props even though they are guarded could hurt someone (it's really not a toy anyway).
Overall, very impressed with how well built this machine is and with how well it performs. So far, I've been able to do a lot of what you'd expect to do with a drone like this and above that it's a real thrill to use it - seriously! Even if you have a large phone I'd still recommend it, but think that the manufacturer should have taken this in to account when they designed it. Asking someone to risk their $1000 phone to use their controller without a case on their phone tells me it wasn't well thought out in that regard, but was thought out well in all the other areas that count so, in the end, I'd still recommend this machine despite that one thing.

Business class laser printer!
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This printer is great in nearly every aspect. It looks nice, is modern and the smart toner seems to actually work really well. Setup is easy and of course, it offers network printing capability right out of the box to handle the workload for an office or home office.
Quality - Print quality is what you'd expect to see from an HP LaserJet with crisp clear text and an overall good looking print. It doesn't curl the paper so you can easily bind or fold it.
Speed - This printer is fast, with a quick warm-up from the energy saving mode.so it's ready to go quickly and it shoots out pages quickly making it perfect tor either the small office with multiple users or home office. The only feature this unit was missing that i wanted was a duplexer but I do believe there is another model that comes with that option.
The cost of toner is a bit high but don't let that let you down as each cartridge will last several thousand pages or more depending on what you print and what settings you print on.
The footprint of this printer is shockingly small for what it is when comparing to it's earlier predecessors.
If you're looking for a simple, high quality work horse of a printer this machine is it. It matches up to the same HP LaserJet Pro quality that you'd see from earlier models except that this one is faster, quieter and uses new technology to make printing secure which is the last thing I'd say is important.
If you print sensitive documents and you're concerned about security (like if you are a firm that handles customer information, PII or other information that you'd print on forms) this printer is essential in terms of protecting you and your customers from a breach. You can control this setting and as an administrator turn it off if it's not needed. These days, security goes beyond computers and HP seems like it's staying ahead of the curve by offering a printer that closes another potential vulnerability.
I'd definitely recommend this printer for anyone that needs one to handle B/W printing with ease for light to medium business use. Even aside to that, just having one that is low cost to print on this one fits the bill perfectly.

Excellent dash cam!
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Installation of this cam is easy with the included power adapter and mounting base. Once setup and a MicroSD memory card has been installed (which it doesn't come with) it's pretty much ready to go and will always be ready to record when you're on the road.
The image quality is great and is more than sufficient for proving fault in an accident or even just as a cam to record your adventure. The really wide angle is nice and captures both sides of the road. It adjusts brightness and saturation/tone automatically and actually works really well at night! Don't expect it to "see in the dark" but it will record almost just as you see it as you are driving.
The cam allows you to download the videos via Wifi and the Bluetooth connectivity enables the SOS/Alexa features to work as well. The Alexa feature is cool for checking the weather or asking questions but it won't do Navigation. Downloading videos is a snap with the app over the Wifi connection making it easy to gather the video and cut what you want out of it.
The unit does get a bit hot but so far I haven't noticed any issues. The screen is big and bright with a much better image than I thought it'd have!! Very impressed there. Taking/snapping pictures while driving is as simple as tapping the middle of the screen.
You can easily expand this system so that you have a rear cam with the same video quality as the front. I think that having the second cam is not necessary but sure makes it nice knowing that both directions are covered by video.
For other features, the SOS is awesome knowing that you have peace of mind in an accident that emergency services will be contacted unless you stop it on your phone when it prompts. The other thing that's cool and works pretty well is the Intelligent parking where it records if the cam detects movement of your vehicle.
In short, I'd definitely recommend this camera for anyone looking to protect themselves, their car and family.

Or, use Bose noise-masking sounds to cover unwanted nighttime noise. Download your favorite sounds directly to Sleepbuds II, control volume, and set a personal wake-up alarm. Sleepbuds II feature proprietary eartips made of soft silicone for a comfortable, secure fit. Sleep on your back or side, or rollover during the night, they’ll stay put. Get up to ten hours of battery life from a single charge, enough for a full night’s sleep — and three additional charges from the portable case.
 

If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night

Yes, for me they blocked out sounds especially when playing the sound clips.. they do have a built-in alarm that you can set.

Find the best fishing spots with this PowerDolphin Wizard water drone. The included PowerSeeker gives you data on water conditions, and the BaitBox function lets you drop bait to attract fish. This PowerDolphin Wizard water drone has a 4K UHD camera that captures stunning footage and quickly switches between above and underwater modes.
 

How deep can this go underwater. The add says the “SONAR” can detect up to 230 ft but nothing is stated about how deep the drone itself can go.

This one is not really designed for going and staying underwater though it can be submerged.:. it’s mostly designed to work on the surface though can skip under the surface and drop the camera under the surface to see below the drone. PowerVision has another drone that is designed for complete underwater use though.

Ninja Foodi's TenderCrisp pressure cooker allows you to achieve all the quick cooking and tenderizing wonders that you love about pressure cookers. The Foodi's Crisping Lid allows you to air fry, bake/roast, and broil. That means you can give your tender, juicy pressure-cooked meals a golden, crispy finish. The secret is TenderCrisp Technology, which produces the perfect combination of heat, fan velocity, and air circulation to give your food even crisping from top to bottom.
 

Does this pressure cooker air crisper combo item use silicone rings ? I hear the Rings hold smells and are almost impossible to get stains out of them .

It is a silicone ring that seals it. The manual states that you must keep the ring clean by removing and cleaning the ring AND lid after each time you use it or that there may be a risk it holding smells. Both the ring and lid should not be washed in the dishwasher of course!! So far, I have not noticed any stains or smells after using it while pressure cooking with really intense seasonings like rosemary, celery, and onions/garlic, and I've thoroughly cleaned the seal and appliance every time after each use as the manual states. My recommendation is going to be follow what it says in the manual and you should be okay. In terms of stains, I wouldn't rule them out from being possible to happen in the right conditions though I can't imagine it affecting anything. My thoughts on that are that the only reason you wouldn't ever see it on other kinds of seals is because the seal itself is black or another color but in terms of stains on the one i have, I've seen none so far!

does this have 3d pass through

It supports HDMI 2.0, and allows 4k passthru. 3D is supported in HDMI standard 1.4 and above so I would say yes it does.

Air is the new oil, and now with the Philips Airfryer you can use that air to fry in a healthier way with up to 75% less fat! Thanks to Philips unique TurboStar™ technology, all food is exposed to constant, circulating heat allowing you to cook your favorite foods with a tablespoon or less of oil. The result is evenly fried food – with no turning or shaking needed. Preset meals on the digital Airfryer allow you to cook your favorite recipes at the touch of a button.
 

Does the Phillips AirFryer 9621/96 have a stainless steel basket?

It does not appear to be just plain stainless (i'm sure because food would stick to it as it fries in the Air Fryer). It appears to be a non-stick metal basket, and is NOT safe to wash in the dishwasher. It has to be hand washed but I've never had any difficultly with cleaning it.

According to the specs on Samsung's website, yes. Would recommend checking the specs for your specific model on their site to be sure before purchasing but it would appear that it does.
