Best recovery tool keeps getting better!
on December 1, 2022
Posted by: Mike
I have used a lot of fitness recovery tools in the past and the original Theragun had remained a staple in my gear bag until now! The 5th gen Theragun Pro is loaded with helpful new smart features through the app and its Bluetooth connectivity, while also retaining the sturdy and reliable function of the previous Theraguns. The triangle form is comfortable and offers numerous handling angles, the app guides you through massages to target specific muscles to get you ready for, continue to, or recover from your top performance! The on-board memory is great for those frequent programs that you know by heart and adjusting which are on the Theragun is intuitive and fast. The battery life is great, the included massage heads allow for varied uses, and the USB-C port is a HUGE improvement over my 1st gen Theragun! The universal charging ability (not to mention the included USB-C charger is plenty strong enough to power most tablets and ultrabooks) is a fantastic addition, especially when you're on the go or at an event and forgot to charge your Theragun before leaving. The adjustable, pivoting head is also a nice addition that allows you to choose the most comfortable position to reach everywhere you want to!
I have strongly recommended Theraguns since I got my first one years ago and will continue to! The PRO may be on the pricy side, but the function and features make it well worth the investment for athletes and enthusiast alike!

Good start, easily upgradeable
on November 2, 2022
Posted by: Mike
The iBuyPower SlateHAKO gaming desktop is a very nice place to start for those looking for a gaming desktop to play newer games. The system looks very nice and has decent airflow, the RGB is fully addressable and shines nicely through the tempered glass panels, and the build seems well put together and very sturdy, allowing you to continue to upgrade through the years without having to buy a new case! The included keyboard is fine, it has RGB but it's controlled by using key combinations on the keyboard itself. The mouse is surprisingly nice, it definitely has a "gaming" look, but the weight and button pressure is great for FPS games! The i3-12100 is a pretty impressive starter CPU, with a really nice boost clock for in-games and streaming, it's not going to be a good permanent choice if you're looking to get into more demanding games or video & photo editing but a good start (and upgradeable to other CPUs in the 12th gen Intel lineup, possibly to the new 13th). There are 4 RAM slots available and the 8GB the system comes with are in the form of dual 4GB sticks, a very nice start and definitely upgradeable down the road. That's really the biggest positive of this system is that it is a very nice place to start for beginner PC gamers to be able to game right out of the box, but also upgrade and change components in the future without having to worry about weird proprietary ports, cables, or parts to mess around with. The case is perfectly set up for playing around and building in, making it excellent for someone who is just getting started in e-sports and is looking for something they change tweak and change to their liking! Also, the Intel Arc GPU is very nice in newer e-sports games, but not so great at some older popular games, namely GTA V, but hopefully as time goes, the Arc GPUs will get better at those. The only reason the system gets 4 starts is the GPU performance could be better in older AAA games by using a similar AMD or NVIDIA GPUs that have proven performance in older titles, there was no packing foam inside the case (was stated to remove it after safely being shipped, was not there), and the RAM was mis-configured (was not set up in dual channel, but worked okay as is). Overall, this is a great starter system when it's on sale and an excellent way to get started in PC gaming today while being able to easily upgrade in the future!

Great beginner camera, sharp sensor!
on October 26, 2022
Posted by: Mike
The Canon EOS R10 camera is great for beginner photographers, videographers, and vloggers looking to get something with more professional looking shots at a decent price. The included RF-S 18-45 lens is crisp and clear with only a little softening on the far outer corners of images. The sensor is very versatile and clear. I test it out shooting stills, video, and vlogging (still video, but no tripod makes it trickier)m the image was crystal clear, very nice coloring, and good image stabilization (in the lens, not the camera body) while walking and recording/shooting. The camera and lens are also quite durable, as I found out on my first outing with it getting tripped by my dog which sent the entire camera flying off my neck and onto the concrete floor a few feet in front of us! Neither the camera or lens suffered as much as a scratch! I would definitely not recommend trying this, but it was nice to avoid a disaster the first day of use, probably helped that the screen was flipped inward and the lens was in "travel-mode." The body fits well in the hand and is very well balanced for freehand shooting. The battery and door are definitely an area Canon cut costs, BUT the battery is extremely common and affordable (I found one with a charger in an emergency at a Walgreens!), as for the battery door, it stays out of the way of most tripod mounts and allows for easy battery/card swaps on the fly. I'd recommend this for budding YouTubers, streamers, beginner photographers who want a wide range of lenses (RF natively, and EF/EF-S with an adapter), and the all-rounders who want something that'll work great for everything previously mentioned, but can also come along on a family vacation and take excellent candid shots! The kit with the longer 18-150mm lens has a little more utility for photographers as a bundle, but either kit will get you a very versatile system!

First Pixel, excellent experience!
on October 26, 2022
Posted by: Mike
I have been a longtime Android user and most of that was in the Samsung Galaxy, S4-8 & Note 8-20. This phone is absolutely fantastic! The Pixel 7 Pro reminds me a lot of using my significant other's iPhone, but with the flexibility and customizability of Android that I'm used to, with an incredibly smooth and easy setup! The packaging is very nice and recyclable, using mostly recycled paper and minimal other items in the box other than the SIM ejector and USB-C cable, all of which is perfectly fine by me, less waste around the house in the form of cheap stock chargers and unnecessary headphones. The hardware is absolutely stunning! The metal surround and "visor" is a really nice break from the off-center camera bumps of Google's contemporaries. The glass is very slippery, like many new phones, and similarly to my Note 20 Ultra, the curved edges are about the only thing keeping the case-less device from sliding right out of my hands. I noticed this was less an issue after some sweat and hand grease got on it, but then it also looked like it had sweat and hand grease until I cleaned it and the "slick" design returned in all its wet bar of soap-like glory! I opted for a clear, minimalist case because the design is truly distinct and I love the look of the obsidian and chrome! The battery life is great, lasting the whole work day with fairly heavy use. The display looks excellent with amazing colors, and has buttery smooth response! The same can be said about Google's Tensor 2 chip, very responsive and snappy, especially with a lot of apps running in the background! Gaming is very good, I only did a little bit of XBox Game Pass streaming, but the lag was non-existent and the phone only got kind of hot after an hour.
Overall, this is a fantastic phone! I would definitely recommend it for both the Android and iPhone faithful, alike! The customization is there for those who want it and the phone/software experience is excellent out of the box! Maybe get a case right away, but your mileage may vary with the slipperiness of the casing and the phone is absolutely gorgeous! Get this phone and people will want to check it out!

Very good USB mic!
on October 21, 2022
Posted by: Mike
I have been using the Razer Seiren v2 for the last few weeks for a variety of tasks and it has proven itself to be a fantastic choice at this price for someone who games, but also regularly takes work meetings at home. The clarity is fantastic and the cabling is very tough feeling and durable, providing a lot of confidence that you can move this mic from system to system without worrying about the cables fraying or the stand breaking. The bas of the stand is fully removeable and works with articulating microphone arms through a standard 5/8" thread. The performance in streams is fantastic, with excellent clarity and little to no interference from other devices and the included windsock helps for those who participate in meetings of jobs who use a lot of letters that normally require a pop filter! Along with that, the front facing mute button helps reduce mute anxiety during meetings, giving you a clear indicator whether your microphone is muted or not! This is great for stream, too, as sometimes you need to quickly mute yourself without having to jump back to OBS or your streaming platform.
The setup is quick and easy, the microphone is light enough to move around but feels solidly built and premium, the controls feel excellent, and the software from Razer is easy to use. I would definitely recommend this to newer streamers and/or those looking to up their Teams/Zoom meeting audio quality without having to wear a full headset or invest in expensive XLR equipment!

Excellent picture and extremely easy setup!
on October 21, 2022
Posted by: Mike
The Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-FH02 is an incredible choice for a do-it-all 1080p projector! It includes an Epson Android TV streaming stick that conveniently tucks away inside a compartment on the side of the projector and the HDMI & USB extenders to make it all work! The single HDMI input is very flexible with what can be connected to it and the included HDMI extender helps with managing the cabling in the I/O compartment. There is a built-in speaker that is more than capable of providing suitable enjoyment without the need for an additional sound device. The biggest drawback of the design is the lack of lens cap or cover to keep the projector's lens clean, not a huge issue with my setup as I usually cover it with a clean microfiber towel to keep dust away. The auto-keystone correction is pretty good most of the time, rarely needing to be manually adjusted and the projector remote (white one) is well labelled and laid out. The other remote (black one) is for streaming and works off Bluetooth to the streaming stick, but can also control the projector! The white remote can also control the smart features but is definitely better suited for demonstrations and meeting use.
Overall, this is a fantastic project for those looking for a smaller, multi-role device that can do it all! The brightness and picture quality at all brightness levels is what truly sets this apart and you'll be more than able to see a great picture in a bright room, even if you're just projecting to a wall! Highly recommend in this price range!

Compact and effective!
on October 14, 2022
Posted by: Mike
The Hyperice Venom Go is an incredible companion to any athlete or sport enthusiast! The device itself is small enough to easily fit in pant pockets, gym bags, or the bottle holder on a backpack and the heating pads are multiuse and come with plastic protection covers to ensure you always have this handy little device when you need it! The unit charges via USB-C (cable included, no charger) and can be fully controlled with the three buttons on the unit. The vibration and heat levels are controlled independently on either side of the unit, while the top is used for powering on and connecting to your phone with Bluetooth. Operation is very intuitive on the unit itself, with the app allowing for quick tweaks and a timer function. At the time of writing this, there were no preset routines in the app but using the app makes it very easy to set up a session.
Overall, I think this device is a must have in your gym bag or backpack for relaxing muscles on the go! I would highly recommend it for athletes of all abilities and skill levels!

Instead of filling up your house (and the planet) with an extra charger for each new device you buy, Anker 735 charger has the power you need to charge the majority of your personal devices with just a single charger.

A travel necessity!
on September 19, 2022
Posted by: Mike
The Anker 735 65W charger is an absolute dream for travel! The USB-C ports are powerful enough to charger and operate my work laptop or Microsoft Surface Pro 8 at full power or charge my phone, tablet, and watch all at the same time! The size is very nice and similar in size to an iPad Pro USB-C charger but with far more power and flexibility for use! I got a second one for my significant other who travels quite a bit for work and she keeps the cables for her iPad Pro, iPhone, and Apple Watch connected at all times, making setting up in the hotel incredibly easy and without worry of missing a charger while packing! The size and weight are great, the only minor issue I've come across is with some "overused" outlets, the loose connectors don't hold the charger on the wall as well. This is a very minor issue that I have only come across on one outlet in our townhouse in the kitchen that is used A LOT for various kitchen appliances being swapped around constantly!
Overall, I lover this little charger! I have picked up a second one and have been using their 65W single USB-C GaN charger for well over a year now, they are fantastic and incredibly reliable!

Compact and incredibly comfortable!
on September 8, 2022
Posted by: Mike
The Logitech G735 Aurora headset is one of the more comfortable headsets for extended use and it's compact size is perfect for those who have smaller hands to comfortable reach all of the controls! In the box is a matching theme of all white cabling and wireless Lightspeed dongle, a type of color matching that usually only happens if you go with an all black headset, and the interior of the box is cloud-themed! This all comes together to reassure you that you are about to place a cloud-light headset on your head to begin your gaming, conferencing, streaming, or talking on the phone via the Bluetooth connection that can be used at the same time as Lightspeed and allows you to mix the volume of each to perfectly contracts your game, chat, and soundtrack. The RGB LED lighting is very subtle and complements the look of the headset perfectly and the new headband is very similar to those used by higher-end headphone for unlimited adjustability to find your perfect fit. The sound quality is very impressive and impactful for such a small body, with the Blue Voice microphone sporting the usually impressive voice enhancements and noise suppression abilities! The voice chat and Bluetooth call quality is excellent and crystal clear!
I would definitely recommend this headset for gamers of a smaller stature as the size allows for easier access to the control, even as someone with larger hands, the size and comfort of this headset makes it so you almost forget it is on your head! Definitely a nice all around headset!

Excellent performance, tricky "smart" features
on August 29, 2022
Posted by: Mike
This Frigidaire portable air conditioner is an excellent value for the level of performance it brings! The unit comes securely packaged in sturdy foam, with the unpacking instructions on top of the unit itself, not stuffed into the box somewhere. This makes it incredibly easy to find the unboxing and setup instructions, instead of digging for them amongst the foam, cardboard, and plastic inside the box. The guide walks your through the steps needed to get your new portable air conditioner setup and running in a traditional mode first, then instructs you to download the Frigidaire app, complete with a picture of the app logo to avoid confusion with the other Frigidaire apps in the marketplace. The traditional mode is very easy to operate, buttons on top of the unit are easy to understand and offer full functionality of the unit with a clear LED display, the remote is easy to read and offers the same functionality as the buttons on the unit but also will "update" the unit if you make changes that weren't registered via the IR commands prior. The cooling performance is very nice, keeping our second floor nice and cool, or at least closer to the first floor, and it is quieter than many of the competitors we had tried! The app is really the only downside I've experienced, with getting the unit to recognize the Wi-Fi network being the most challenging part. The app is not a critical part of the unit, but it is very nice once you're able to get it working, especially to remotely operate the unit when returning home from a vacation or trip!
The multiple day excursion of trying to get the Frigidaire app and the portable AC unit working together is the only reason I am rating this 4/5, everything else is wonderfully easy to use and I'd still recommend it to my friends!

Is the motherboard inverted??
Yes and no, the RAM and SSD are on the bottom, easily accessible, and the CPU & GPU are mounted on top/ facing the keyboard. There is a healthy amount of venting above the CPU & GPU as well as vapor chambers to assist with cooling, but to get to them you would have to remove the motherboard. You can see the backplates for the CPU & GPU just below the white cover over the cooling.

Is the m.2 1tb pci-e ssd drive a gen 3 or gen 4?
Hey packersfan036, I am also a Packers fan! From my research, SSD 1 (populated with the 1TB gen 3 SSD from the factory) is gen 4 and SSD 2 (empty from the factory) is only gen 3. Should be able to swap the bay and use a gen 4 on SSD 1. I have not tested this myself as I do not have a gen 4 SSD yet, but Mash IT on YouTube did and it worked well.

The Brydge 12.3 Pro+ wireless keyboard with touchpad matches the quality and functionality of the Surface Pro 4,5,6, and 7 seamlessly. Designed to meet the standards set by Microsoft, the Brydge 12.3 Pro+ features a precision touchpad, adjustable viewing angles and 3-level backlit keys, bringing a laptop-like experience to your Surface Pro.
Does the laptop have a front camera and is it also the laptop with the key board?
This is not a laptop, it is an accessory for the Microsoft Surface Pro (4 through 7) Windows tablet PCs. The keyboard base does allow for full use of the Surface Pro's front and rear camera. You would have to also have the separately sold Microsoft Surface Pro to fully use the Brydge Pro+.

Featuring two splash-proof and weather-resistant outlets, you can set schedules and control two devices together from anywhere by using the app or your voice with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, or Hey Google.* It’s perfect for the patio, yard or other spaces where you’d like to manage electric outlets. You can also use Away Mode to randomly turn porch or landscape lights on and off when you’re not home. Sync lights connected to the Smart Outdoor Plug with the sunset and you’ll walk out to a backyard that’s ready for evening activities.
Does this Wemo WiFi smart plug-outdoor, connect to a mesh WiFi system. I have some Wemo smart mini plugs thatonly connect to 2 ghz routers. The Mesh system I have doesn’t distinguish between 2 and 5 ghz bands, so the Wemo mini plugs do not connect my wifi
Seems very strange that you're having issues with connecting to the 2.4 GHz band, the plug should only see the band it can use and connect. I am running a Linksys MX10 Velop mesh router system and have had no problems connecting this or my other Wemo plug (Wemo Insight). It might be a good idea to try WPS to connect to the plugs or reach out directly to Belkin/Wemo for further assistance, they're great help if issues arise! After its set up to your network, it is incredibly easy to use!

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?
It is not independently GFI protected, but most/all outdoor outlets that it would plug into are required to be. Both outlets are controlled as one, i.e. if you turn off the outlet, they both turn off. For the current and temperature, it claims 32-104 Fahrenheit, but mine worked great yesterday and today with temperatures below 32 degrees (29 with a light drizzle and 24 with snow/sleet/rain, respectively) and has continued to worked fine.

Is it possible to use a different keyboard for a specific language? Spanish? Portuguese?
You are able to change the default language and add multiple additional languages for the keyboard through the "Language" settings. These are accessible through the phone Settings or directly through the keyboard! It is very easy to accomplish!

Will unlock version work on sprint network
The unlocked version should work on Sprint/T-Mobile, I would consult with them on which company's SIM to use due to their merger. It will likely be a T-Mobile SIM, but they should be able to definitively answer that for you through Sprint/T-Mobile customer service and the new SIM, if needed. It's really an amazing device!

Will older model accessories from the BL685 model fit into this blender?
Should fit just fine! I have one of the older Ninja Blend IQ systems and the smaller and large blender containers fit just fine.
