Dreo Pedestal Fan with Remote, PolyFan 613S, 43'' Quiet Standing Fan for Home Bedroom, 120°+105° Smart Oscillating Floor Fans with Wi-Fi/Voice Control, Works with Alexa/Google, 6 Modes, 8 Speeds
Posted by: DavidJr
This thing is an air mover, or air circulator as it default gave a name in the Dreo app. I have never seen a fan move like this one. With up to 105 degrees up and down and up to 120 degrees left and right, this fan pushes air everywhere. At mid to low speeds you can barely hear it, but it is still giving a decent breeze. Put this thing into turbo mode and you might just create a vortex in the room.
You can control it with the touch sensitive buttons on top, the included infrared remote, the Dreo app or with Alexa or Google voice commands once you have it connected to Wi-Fi. The touch controls and remote cycle through settings, but with the app you can really get into it. You can adjust the vertical and horizontal rotations with different steps, you can even control the fan with a directional pad so you can position it from anywhere you open the app. You can have it work with the temperature to use certain speeds during specific temp ranges or set it to run specific speeds during time blocks of the day. One thing for sure though, this fan has really helped keep the temperature in my open main room pretty stable, getting rid of some of those warm spots.
It does have an adjustable height stand, but it doesn’t really adjust by much, just a few inches. The base is decently weighted, so there is not much worry of it tipping itself over. There are other wind modes as well, like a natural setting that makes it act more like a breeze. You can also cycle the timer to turn off from 1-8 hours, or by the minute through the app.
Overall, this fan is amazing. It helps me sleep by keeping me cool and stable and then when I don’t need a stable breeze on me, but want to keep the whole room circulated, just turn everything on and there is no stagnant air in the room.

Posted by: DavidJr
I don’t think my mouth has ever felt this clean, even after a dental appointment. From coming with different styles of heads for whatever you are looking for or particular style you like to having different speeds and timing. To get the full advantage of this toothbrush, you want to have the Sonicare app installed and open when you are ready to brush. Then you get a timer and a diagram of a mouth and it monitors your motions. Such as brushing too fast, pushing too hard or not being in a particular section long enough. It is pretty good at knowing at least the inside/outside of the section you are brushing, but it is on you to follow the area as it can’t determine it that much. I certainly had been using my older Sonicare brush too fast compared to the speed of this one with the reminders to slow down. The only downside to using the app is having a good place to keep your phone, because having it on the counter means you have to look down and that can make for some messy brushing.
The full collection is a bit overwhelming at first. It comes with 6 brush heads and a tongue brush. It has a charging base, a stand for the charging base, a glass that can also fit on the charging base and a travel case along with the main handle. The main handle feels a bit big to me personally, like it is a lot to handle while brushing your teeth. It also ends up being easy to bump the buttons when you are moving it around and suddenly you are in a different mode. But, it certainly isn’t your average electric toothbrush.
Overall this toothbrush system will ensure you are brushing at your best and help get the clean you are looking for. You end up with a few pieces you might not use but from time to time, such as the hard travel case, unless you do travel a fair bit, and the extra heads. But, you get to try out the different head types to find your preference. Personally, I like the A3 All-in-one, but they only included one of those in the set.

Improving on its legendary predecessor in every way, COROS Pace 3 packs an even more powerful punch. Track your training and recovery with a technologically advanced watch that's lightweight and comfortable, with outstanding data accuracy, and backed by the industry-leading COROS training software system. COROS Pace 3 paves the way to discover your potential.
Posted by: DavidJr
I’ve had a few smart watches over the years, each having their different styles and tracking differences. This Coros Pace 3 on the other hand, just seems to have practically everything all those watches had, but in one. It is really light, the default band is flexible and allows for air flow and functions are pretty simple to manage. It has touch screen and the multifunction buttons that you can use to scroll through the menu as well so you can see the whole screen. It has vibration and tone feedback, but does not have any speaker or microphone options like some. However, you can connect Bluetooth headphones directly to it and upload some MP3 files so you can have some audio on the go.
The tracking on this thing is pretty amazing. I thought maybe it was because I had my phone, as it does mention enhanced tracking when connected, but even without it the data looked pretty much the same. So, if you just want to get up and run off without any phone distractions, you can still track all your data, see the results on the watch directly and once returned to your device or Wi-Fi, see it in the app or online through the COROS training hub. See an example of one quick session in the app attached.
Another thing I find amazing about this watch is that I have had a couple GPS tracked sessions and been wearing it non-stop day and night for over a week and just went below 50% charge. It boasts a 17 day daily use charge and at this rate, it is looking that way. Of course, if you use it for GPS tracking every day, that will take it down quicker, but it says 38 hours of GPS tracking so even if you use it for 1 hour a day, you are still getting well over a week's use per charge. Sadly though, like most electronics these days, that probably won’t be the case after a couple years of use. The one thing I don’t like about it is the unique charging cable. They do sell a small keychain charging cable that you could keep with you in case you forget the original one. But, it’s not lie you can just borrow the one from your phone if you don’t have those.
With this watch and app, you also can access the training hub through the COROS website. There you can see all of your training data, there are things you can set up that I have never heard of, but they have information to read on all of it. This also allows you to share your data with your team or a coach if they have an account set up.
There is a fair bit of customization you can do with the watch as well. Upon initial setup it asks what events you want available on the menu. So, like you know you aren’t going to use it for skiing anytime soon, no need for that to be an option on the scroll through your list. However, it is still available through the menu or app later. There are many watch faces to pick from but if you don’t like any of them, customize your own through the app, pick your clock style and position, pick a background or send your own image of choice. The options are endless at that point. The screen is technically always on as well, but really really faint. When the backlight kicks in is when you can really read it, but even then, it isn’t super bright. I found it easier to make sure to have a high contrast looking watch face. I am still able to read it during bright and sunny days with my hand shadowing it a bit.
Overall this watch is great for anyone that is active or wants to get into being active and wants to help track their progress. It can just be your regular step tracking, calorie counting, time telling every day watch too, while you only need to charge every 2 weeks or so at that rate. You can read messages and notifications that are enabled from your phone, but can’t respond directly like some. But, this one is not unique to just specific branded phones like those are.

The TUF Gaming VG279Q3A 27" IPS Gaming Monitor with IPS panel and 1 ms MPRT response time combined with AMD FreeSync Premium support, NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, Full HD resolution monitor is designed to deliver sharp graphics during high-action sequences.
Posted by: DavidJr
I’ve always enjoyed ASUS and typically I go with their Republic of Gamer products, but their TUF gaming line is decent, just always felt like the bargain entry point to gaming products. This monitor feels like it still fits that thought. It has some great features and is a perfect entry point for building a gaming system, but it doesn’t have all the things you might want.
First off, 180hz refresh on a 1080p 27” monitor is pretty decent. It makes everything just feel like it moves faster and if you have the video card or gaming system to push it, then you will certainly notice the difference. The low response time and adaptive sync can make it feel like you upgraded your computer if you were playing on anything less. With the various display modes and the shadow boost, it makes everything feel different. The controls on the back right side of the monitor are easy to manage with the direction stick or you can download the display widget center and control all the same settings through the app. You have other features like a stopwatch or timer, a choice of center screen crosshairs and a FPS display. If you have multiple displays, it also gives a handy line up option.
However, on that note, there is over a ¼ inch black border around the whole screen despite there practically being no bezel. So, if you do decide to do multiple monitors, with two of these, you will have over half an inch of a black bar down the middle. Another thing that some higher end monitors offer, with the crosshair options, is the ability to adjust the position. Many games have them off center a bit and if you want to use the option on screen, you can’t for those games. The last thing I noticed is the viewing angle has a very fine sweet spot. It’s not so noticeable in normal multicolor conditions, but on solid color screens you can quickly notice the edges look darker. As you move around you can see just how centered you have to be to get the most out of it while still noticing some darkening on the sides. However, that also highly reduces any glare, so if you have any background light, you won’t notice it much on this screen. But, it is also kind of light on the brightness, which is good for your typical dimly lit room, just missing out on some dark gradients if there is too much light.
Overall, it is a decent monitor and for most it will certainly make a difference in your gaming experience if your devices can handle it. It is missing some things that slightly higher end monitors have, like HDR and additional options. But, for the typical user that just wants a little better performance that a standard monitor, it has it.

Bringing them together. Needs extra cables!
on March 3, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
Finally, the Astro A50 for all the gaming systems. Not just one or the other, but literally Xbox, PlayStation and PC all in one. Then, to add on to that, it also has Bluetooth support so you can connect your phone or any other device as well. I do find it kind of odd that is says “+Base Station” because this headset will not work without it, so it is kind of essential and not really a “plus” or additional thing.
One thing to keep in mind, if you intend to use all these systems, you will need 1 additional HDMI and 1 additional USB-A to USB-C cable. It acts kind of like a receiver on its own where you hook HDMI from your Xbox/PlayStation to the base station, then HDMI from it to your Monitor/TV and then USB from the PC/Xbox/PlayStation for the rest of the audio settings. However, it has the split power/USB that works for the PC and one USB-A to C cable for 1 other device. Considering you also need to access the base station for charging, this might entail a fair bit of new wire management for you.
Once you have it all connected, to switch from device to device is simply a press of a button on the headset. Which can also be an accidental press taking you out of your game completely as it switches the video source as well for the consoles. Also, the Bluetooth option is actually to the base station. So, it’s not like you can just use these headphones around the house and keep listening to the phone in your pocket as it doesn’t have the greatest range. However, for your normal sitting at the PC/Console playing games, this headset is amazing. What could make it even better is if you could listen/speak to 2 sources at once, like Xbox/PC, but having the Bluetooth play along the whole time is a neat feature. Also, the microphone is 1 device, so if you are talking over Bluetooth on your phone, you are not able to talk over any other device at the same time. At least you can hear both though.
Sound quality on these is ear tickling. Literally the bass on these things along with the clarity is amazing. The 3D audio support with Dolby Atmos is spot on. The cloth ear cushions are comfortable, but don’t provide much for passive noise canceling though. But, if you like that open air feeling, these have that. Microphone quality is sharp and clear and the mic is flip-up to mute, however there is no feedback like a tone to let you know when it is muted unless you flip all the way up to the point it locks in place.
Overall, besides needing to find extra cables and managing the cables around the little base station, this is what I expected the Astro A50 to be capable of. The video of your PC still has to go through its normal connection, but the 4K 120hz of the other ports brings you down one connection essentially and makes swapping between them super simple. With the day long battery life too, this is for non-stop gaming.

Ding Dong, or whatever sound you want!
on March 3, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
This doorbell can replace your current doorbell or become one that you don’t already have. Powered by 6 x AA batteries or use those batteries as backup in the case of power loss if you replace your standard doorbell. Fairly simple to set up, even without the directions ever mentioning how to hook the wires up for the power. Which is only 2 wires and it doesn't matter which terminal it connects to. Like their other products though, you have to have the app for installation and for some reason, they believe everyone has USB power for everything.
Installation has you set up the hub first, which becomes the actual bell, or whatever ringtone you decide to upload to it, and is what provides the connection to your Wi-Fi and the port for a micro-SD card. Again, it comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable, so you have to provide your own adapter for it and the cord is kind of short. But, once it is set up, you connect the doorbell camera and you are ready to go.
The installation of the doorbell itself is pretty simple, it has a small screw on the side that removes it from the base and the base is what you screw or stick to the wall. However, the base is plastic and bends easily. Trying to install it with the tiny screws it comes with leaves it feeling not very secure. If the base was metal and they gave the option for stronger screws it would have made the build feel stronger. However, with it all being plastic, it just feels like something you might be replacing in a few years with it being exposed to the weather. With that, it does not have a typical IP rating and expects you to have it installed under a porch or awning. So far we have only had a little rain and it has had no effect on it. But, if your installation will be direct in the weather all the time, this might not be the best option.
By default, once everything is set up, it will record the interactions with the doorbell and store it on the cloud for up to 7 days. You can increase this amount through their monthly or annual plans. You also have the option to use up to a 512GB micro-SD card in the bell device which allows you to record up until the storage capacity you have installed. Also, the free plan only records at 360p, which is still enough for most situations. With the doorbell connected to power, you can also get additional recording before doorbell presses, with facial recognition and loitering.
The facial recognition is interesting and you can let it detect faces and you put names to them or you can actually take images beforehand and set them up. It helps with the notifications and can be used for additional automations with other devices.
Overall, this is a simple to set up and interesting smart video doorbell. It has a fair bit of customization and if paired with the Aqara smart lock allows you to also unlock the door while watching the live feed. The build quality feels a bit cheap and the lack of weather proofing could be a possible issue down the road. However, it’s a decent system.

Say goodbye to the hassle of fumbling with keys and welcome the seamless experience of unlocking your door with a simple touch of your iPhone or Apple Watch. By also fully supports the Apple Home app, including guest access code, gaining entry to your abode has never been easier or cooler. Even if there's a power outage of your Apple devices, you can still tap your device and enter your home effortlessly.

I have never seen a smart lock with so many unlock options. This one has your typical pin option, but also fingerprint, NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi remote and physical key. You can pick and choose what you want enabled, but it has them all. On top of that, the touchpad is touch sensitive and the prompts are in the language of choice, not just tones.
Set up is for a single deadbolt style lock and is pretty simple to install. I almost thought I lost 2 screws for the final step of install, only to realize they are in a small white bag, easy to blend in with everything else. There are no instructions in the box though, you have to get the app and follow the process through it. It is step for step and offers some video clips to help follow along. Once installed though, it kind of just drops you off to go through the app and figure the rest of it out. However, it is pretty straight forward in adding users or guests and with the different types of connections.
If you want to use the lock remotely or with other 3rd party devices, you have to connect and set up the included Hub E1. Like other Aqara devices though, you need a USB-A adapter or port to power it. It is kind of an awkward device because it is like hooking up a Wi-Fi dongle, but with whatever power adapter you happen to have. Using the same app, setup is simply scanning the QR code and entering your Wi-Fi details. The door lock will still function without this, however, like I mentioned, if you want remote notifications or the ability to manage your lock remotely, you will need it.
I am shocked this works off of just 4 x AA batteries and it claims up to 8 months of charge with the average of 8 fingerprint entries a day. I haven’t had it that long to find out, but being AA batteries, that is not too bad to replace. In the ultimate worst case, if you forget to replace your batteries there is still the ability to use the physical key or you can use a USB-C cable to the bottom of the lock attached to any device that can provide a charge and you can use the normal digital functions to get in.
So far it has worked without issue except one case and I can’t get it to repeat. No idea what caused it, but for some reason it was not registering the fingerprint or pin and after 10 failed attempts, it locks you out for 30 minutes by default. However, you can still use Bluetooth, the physical key or remote option if you have that enabled. Being that my phone was in my pocket, Bluetooth was simply logging into the app and holding to unlock. I assume since it was my son trying to get in and he hasn’t used it much yet, it might have just been placement of his thumb that caused it to see a failed attempt too many times and when I attempted the pin it was already at 10.
Overall, this is a pretty solid lock with plenty of options to suit anyone on how they would like to unlock their door. With auto-lock feature that is still listed as beta, voice notifications and push notifications, you can feel safe that your door is locked. Combine this with other devices and you feel in control.

If you’re really into programming automation
on March 1, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
We’ve all seen those sci-fi movies where the guy walks into a room and lights come on in specific areas as they move around the room. Well, this is one of the many devices that you will need to do something like that. Of course, it will also need all the other internet enabled things that can work with the automated systems like Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. But, this is what can help send the automated signal to the system because it knows where you are.
This device is small and simple, the complicated part comes in when you want to make use of it and set up all the automation. Like, if you want it to push notification of presence in the space, then you need to set that up with the If/Then automation. The one thing I don’t get, along with other Aqara products, why is everything USB and no power adapters included? I guess along with phones this is a new thing that we have to start working around. Then, on top of that this comes with a 2 meter USB-A to C cable, but to use some of the features you need to mount it to the ceiling, so if you want to do that, you will need to find a longer USB-C cable as well.
Provided your power is available nearby, setting the device up is pretty simple. Just mount what is essentially a washer on the wall and the device magnetically attaches. It is simple enough, but personally I would like something more firm/permanent. Then, with the app, you connect to the device and set everything up. This includes walking around the zone so you can set the bounds and configuring the zone to match your environment. Then it all comes down to adding your other devices and building your list of automations. This can be a slew of things like turning on lights, audio or whatever you want through fairly simple If/Then scenarios.
Personally, I don’t have much use for something like this. But, if you really want to create that sci-fi hands free type environment for your house, then this will get you another step closer.

This drive is insanely fast. I think the only way you can get faster is if you have a PCIe 5 system and drive. With my out of the box testing, it still came up faster than other drives I have had, but like they even state in the small print “System variations will affect measured results.” I’m sure there are other settings I could probably change on my system to try and get the results higher, but this is already twice as fast as my older 512GB drive and of course the capacity. It is so hard to fathom 2TB on something so small.
As with any NVMe drive, installation is pretty straight forward. A single screw for most computer systems, some just a clip. Of course, pending what you intend to use the drive for makes the rest of the process dependent on what you are doing. If you intend for this as a main OS drive, if you have the second slot, cloning the main drive first saves so much time and effort. As a secondary drive, just mounting it and assigning a drive letter and you are up and running.
Overall, this is what I expect from Crucial, a company that has been in the memory business for 25 years. Now to fast forward time 5 years or 1200 TB written and see how well this drive stands up to time and use. It certainly will get the data usage there faster than my old drive.

Mindful of your water usage
on January 11, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
As for a showerhead, this seems pretty basic. It is a single head, rubber hose, basic stainless steel finish with choice of color on the plastic parts. However, the special part is on the inside. Supposedly powered by the water, it can be connected to your smart device and used to track things like how much water you use and the temperature of the water. Making me realize how hot I usually run my shower. You also have a slider that adjusts the stream to a mist and the difference it makes really changes the style of shower.
One other thing you have a choice in is the GPM on the model. I went with the 2.5 GPM model and man does this thing push out some water. I feel that because of the amount of water, I actually take shorter showers than I usually do because I don’t have to build up enough water to fully rinse off. The app shows 20 gallons as the national average, so it shows anything under that as saved. I feel with the 2.5GPM, it is kind of hard to stay under that unless you literally hop in and out in 7 minutes or less. But, that is what this is for, to help you be more mindful of your usage. It also considers the temperature of 105 over 20 gallons as energy used, so slightly cooler and less time and you are essentially using less energy than average.
The app is the only way to get any details about your shower. It allows for some additional settings, like changing the light color based on gallons used and the temperature. This way you can see if the water is where you like it before you step in or can set it to alert you that you are going too high. There are some health tips and directions on how to clean it as calcium build up is a showerhead's worst enemy.
Overall, it is a unique shower head. Though the build of the main body feels sturdy, with the stainless steel, the rest of it feels a bit cheap. The rubber/pvc hose never really expands from the ‘out of the box’ loop and sometimes makes the head turn if you don’t push it in well. The slider for the stream is nice and really does change how the shower feels. There is a little time after you are done with the shower for the app to connect and download the data, but any other time you just have to wait till you take another shower. If you want to be more aware of your water and energy usage, then this can at least help in the shower department.

Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

1 out of 5Need certain phones to use this.
By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.

It says on the front and back of the box, "Compatible with Note5/S6 edge+/S6/S6 edge" and anywhere you look online it says it as well.

When I put my phone in the unit it doesn't seem it. I keep having to pull it out and try again.

Ethernet Cables
I'm wanting to connect my DVD player to the internet. I can't afford the manufacturer's adapter. I have a broadband router, but I need cables for it. At least 25' from the wall outlet to the router. Trying to look on-line, there seem to be different types of cables. I'm a little technologicially challenged... Well, geographically too... The router is a Cicso/Linksys wireless G broadband router, Model WRT546 version 6. I've seen prices from $50 on down to $10. I'm worried that I'll wind up with the wrong type of cable. What's the best price for a 25' (or 35') cable? I'll need several shorter ones as well - to connect the DVD player, the Wii... Thank you!!!!!!!
Any Cat 5e Ethernet cable will work for a typical home router connection. If there are any major power cables that you cross over in that 25 feet you may want to look at the STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) as opposed to UTP (Unshielded). However, for the most part CAT 5E UTP will work just fine for connecting your device to the router so long as it has an Ethernet port.

Hit the gym with these Monster adidas Sport adistar 128648-00 headphones, which feature Bluetooth technology for a wireless connection to your MP3 player and a water-resistant design. Pure Monster Sound technology delivers rich, powerful audio.
Can these headphones be rinsed off in the sink after a workout?
They are listed as "LIFETIME WARRANTY AGAINST SWEAT," not water. You can remove the ear tips and wash them and wipe the headphones with a damp cloth just fine, but you are at your own risk if putting them under the faucet.

Stay tuned in on the go with these Sol Republic Shadow 1140-04 earbud headphones, which feature wireless technology and a long-lasting battery, so you can listen to music or talk on the phone using Bluetooth for up to 8 hours before recharging.
will these fall off of me when ih ave them plugged in because they are just hanging on my next?
will they slide off or fall off while maybe running or walking?
If not in both ears and no collar to hold them, they slid around a lot on me. When in only one ear, the other side will pull against you, especially if turning your head and can lead to pulling out the other earbud at times.
