Ton of features at a great price!!

THE BREAKDOWN:
Overall simple at a great price point. It comes with a stainless-steel boiler which is unique for something at this price point. It has all plastic casing with stainless accents. There is a good amount of space between the portafilter and tray (approximately 4.25 inches) with a removable riser/drip tray to allow for larger cups. The portafilter (51mm) is pressurized only and has 2 different basket sizes one is a double shot (14grams) and the other is a single shot (7 grams). There is a storage container in the back to store the baskets. There is also a one-liter water reservoir located there as well. The reservoir is removable, but it does not have a filter. The water level is viewable from the front of the machine. It does come with a scoop and tamper as well. It also has a simple easy to use and movable steam arm.
It has pretty simple features, up front you have one light that is an indicator that the machine is on and one that indicates it is ready to be used. It has a knob that has the following functions, steam, off, on and hot water/coffee. The hot water setting using the steam arm can be used to warm your cup.
The unit is about 11 inches tall so it can easily fit under the countertop and small spaces. Which I found to be really nice. There is a cup warmer located on the top of the machine which is also a nice feature.
Overall, if you are into manually making your espresso this machine is does that very well at a very good price point.
PRO’s:
-Small form factor
-Easy to use
-Cup warmer
-Stainless steel accents and broiler.
-Easy to use
-Cup warmer
-Stainless steel accents and broiler.
CON’s:
-Could use a filter in the water reservoir
-Could use a filter in the water reservoir
SUMMARY:
Overall, the device worked very well, and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this.

Quiet and work well!

THE BREAKDOWN:
Let’s start by saying that this is a sound purchase. I have 2 other air fryers and this one runs a close race with them. I like the 6-quarthmmok its option as it holds enough food to feed a family of 4 easily.
The unit itself is very well constructed. I love the nonstick surface and the way they have the rack in the bottom of the machine. Just as a comparison, my other air fryer my basket is removable and is scrapes the bottom of the actual pan I had to put a piece of silicon down to keep it from scraping. Cleanup really was very simple and easy. Oh, one last thing is that the basket and components are dishwasher safe. So, that is an easy cleanup.
This machine cooks as good as my other 2 air fryers. It is actually really quiet. I have cooked chicken wings, chicken tenders, fries, a whole chicken and warmed up pizza and wings and fries multiple time. This so much more convenient than using your oven and heating up your whole house. I mean you can have frozen fries ready to eat and crispy in 18-20 min. The controls were very easy to use and if you get confused it does come with a manual. It actually has a soothing tone/beep. It does offer other modes besides air frying, such as, bake, roasting and broiling to name a few.
PRO’s:
-Quiet
-Easy to use
-Dishwasher safe
-Multiple cooking modes

Absolutely amazing!!

THE BREAKDOWN:
Let’s start by saying that this sound bar is not only sleek and beautiful, but it sounds amazing! Compared to my native tv speakers the difference is like night and day. With the speaker’s small footprint, I was worried it wouldn’t give the full sound that I was looking for. I was completely wrong, this speaker had great bass and great highs with no distortion. The audio was very clear and concise, and the bass was punchy!
The sound quality of this speaker is nothing short of amazing! If you are someone that is looking for great sound with a small footprint at a great price, then this speaker is it! I’m sure if you did pair a subwoofer with this soundbar it would really add to the depth and punch of the bass but really, I don’t think you need it. When watching TV show and movies the music sound clear and concise along with the dialog. There wasn’t a time where I felt the sound was distorted in any way.
The setup was not that difficult. First you download the Bose app and log in. If you don’t already have an account, you sign up for one. Once you complete that you connect the soundbar to the TV with the HDMI or optical cable. Just a side note I found out the hard way, if you want to use the full feature you need to use the HDMI instead of the optical cable. When using the HDMI us the one labeled “ARC”.
Next, you follow the instructions on the Bose app where you connect to Wi-Fi and setup Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. You also can setup your music apps such as Amazon Music and TuneIn.
The design of the soundbar is very sleek and even though it is black it is almost elegant looking. There are some hidden lights that you can only see when interacting with the speaker. There are 2 places you can touch on the top of the speaker that can activate the assistant and the other will mute/unmute the speaker. There is a power port, optical port, HDMI port and a service port which look as if it is a USB-C port. For people that are looking to keep a minimal footprint this speaker is definitely designed for you.
The remote is tiny and has a great rubbery feeling on the surface. My one complaint is that the bottom of the remote is plastic only and slick. It slides off my leg or chair arm almost every time.
Just want to quickly mention the Bluetooth option where you can connect it to a device like your phone or tablet. I really, really like this feature as I work from home and I pick up the remote and hit the Bluetooth button and play music from my phone.
PRO’s:
-Sleek and compact
-Amazing audio
-Bluetooth support
-Wi-Fi support for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
-Virtual assistant is amazing
-Includes optical cable and remote
CON’s:
-No HDMI cable included
-Remote bottom is very slippery

Great for photos and documents
on September 25, 2020
Posted by: Ohanaman
from Kentucky
THE BREAKDOWN:
Who doesn’t find the idea of wirelessly “throwing” up pictures, video or documents from your phone, computer or tablet?? With my wife teaching small kids and myself being in the IT industry and teaching adults I found this item to be very interesting. The j5create cable makes this process a breeze! Be warned if you are buying this product to use with apps such as NETFLIX, HULU, AMAZON, etc….. you will be disappointed (read further for a full explanation).
Setting this up took just a few minutes. You plug in the HDMI end into the HDMI port and then you need a USB port for power. Side note they recommend at least 1-amp USB port. Once you turn on the device you select the input and log into the j5create device and connect it to your local Wi-Fi network. Once that is complete, you’re ready to present.
I used both my acer laptop and my iPhone to test this device. On my iPhone the process was super simple you just swipe up from the bottom and choose screen mirroring and the screencast device should be listed. From my laptop it was just as easy you select the Wi-Fi screencast network and you can mirror or extend your display just like if you have multiple monitors.
The performance was as expected. It worked great for photo’s, phone videos and documents. If you want to play videos from apps like NETFLIX, HULU, AMAZON, etc…. then you will be disappointed. It does start and you can see the list of video’s, like on NETFLIX but once you try to play it, you get NO video only sound in my case.
PRO’s:
-Easy to Install
-Easy to use
-Not bulky
-Very nice you want to share photo’s or documents
-Can use with multiple devices
CON’s:
- Cannot play some video apps
SUMMARY:
Overall, the device worked well but you may find cheaper devices out there on the market that can do all this and more, and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this.

Works like it should
on September 16, 2020
Posted by: Ohanaman
from Kentucky
THE BREAKDOWN:
If you’re like me, you have had your fair share of coffee makers. This coffee pot is your typical coffee maker with a few extra features.
This thing was easy to unpack and get started. It has a minute and hour button for setting the clock, it also has a button to set a brew delay of up to 24 hours. It has a select button, brew strength button and fresh brew timer. For the brew strength button, you have the choice of strong and regular. This coffee maker also has a grab-a-cup auto pause for those that need a cup of coffee before the brewing is finished. It has a 2 hour auto shut-off which will automatically turn off the coffee maker, so you don’t have to worry about it or burn the leftover coffee in the bottom of the pot. This coffee maker also has a cleaning cycle button that is supposed to let you know when its time to clean your coffee maker.
This coffee maker looks a little more upscale with the stainless and black features. It does include a filter for the basket that really doesn’t filter out much but large pieces of whatever can get through the coffee reservoir. The coffee maker itself worked as it should for the many pots I have brewed. The strong button does a brew a slightly stronger cup of coffee. I wouldn’t say that it is like a shot of espresso, but it definitely does taste slightly stronger to me.
PRO’s:
- Nice stainless/black look
- Strong Brew Selector
- Delay Brew
- 2 Hour auto shut-off
- grab a cup auto pause
CON’s:
- Light and plastic looking
- Filter doesn’t really do much
SUMMARY:
Overall, I feel that this product worked like it was supposed to at this price point, and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this.

Don't pass this one up!

THE BREAKDOWN:
If you haven’t had a chance to use and air fryer or even a countertop oven don’t miss out on this one. I own a basket style air fryer and an oven all in one air fryer similar to this one and this one hits all the marks.
This thing was easy to unpack and get started. It had 9 pre-set cooking functions to choose from. It has a dehydrate, proof, bagel, toast, air fry, bake, broil, reheat and keep warm. It is large enough to use a 9 X 13 pan which is also included along with an no flip air fry basket. One great thing to mention that comes with this product is the drip pan. This thing is a life saver, easy to put in and easy to take out and clean.
I have a family of 4 and I was able to create meals to feed the whole family quickly and easy. I especially love making crispy fries in 22 minutes! For those quick nights you can throw in chicken nuggets and fries at the same time and air fry them in under 30 min. For weekend big breakfast prep I can toast 9 pieces of toast at time.
One of the major advantages of using this countertop oven is that you don’t have to heat up your kitchen by using your electric or gas oven. The top and sides to do get very warm when using for extended periods of time. The last awesome thing I want to mention about this product is that it is very quiet, you can barely hear this running. I had another air fryer that is very loud, so this countertop oven is a blessing on the ears! One thing that I particularly don’t like about this oven is that it is big and bulky to set on my countertop. It is very pleasing to eye, but it is large and it doesn’t flip up like the other countertop oven that I own.
Overall, I found this countertop oven to be very nice, works well and is pleasing to eye.
PRO’s:
-Beautiful stainless/black look
-9 Pre-Set Cooking functions
-Very quiet while running
-Can accommodate 9 X 13 pan
-Doesn’t heat up your whole kitchen
CON’s:
- Large and bulky
- Wish this product could flip up to save space

Upgrade now!!

Posted by: Ohanaman
from Kentucky
THE BREAKDOWN:
The packaging was very well done and protected. It came with the main display, the base, the power cord, HDMI cable, Display Port Cable and USB cable.
The Dell S2721DGF monitor really delivered. The 27 inch IPS panel with QHD resolution (2560 X 1440 pixels) will surely impress anyone looking to upgrade their old gaming monitor. One key thing to keep in mind if you want the 165Hz refresh rate you will need to use the Display port cable, if you use the HDMI cable your refresh rate will only be 144Hz. Dell played the neutral role when it comes to picking a graphics card to support as this monitor supports both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync graphics technologies. This
I found the IPS fast, bright and very colorful. This display also supports up to 3 user profiles, timer, FPS counter and you can manage frame rates and shadow control to name a few. The monitor itself has 2 HDMI inputs, 1 Display Port input, 4 USB 3.0 ports, a 3.5mm headphone out jack and3.5 mm audio line out jack. This monitor weighs about 9.9 lbs. The power button is located on the bottom right bezel and the menu buttons with the joystick style is located on the back right of the monitor behind the power button. I have to say that I really like the joystick button to navigate through the menus. One last thing to mention on the monitor is that it is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified which allows you to see more detail than a SDR display giving those clearer visuals. Some people prefer monitors with DisplayHDR certs of 500 or greater.
Overall, I found this monitor to be everything it claimed to be: fast 1ms response time, contrast ratio of 1,000:1, worked well with G-Sync and the colors were great. Also, the menus where very easy to navigate. Very visually appealing with the thin bezel and blue light in the back.
PRO’s:
-Thin Bezel
-IPS/LED panel/backlight
-VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified
-1ms response time
-2560 X1440 @ 165Hz (when using the Display Port)
-G-Sync and FreeSync Compatible
CON’s:
- none

For added safety, we designed an innovative 3-method auto pressure release system built into the Smart Cooker so steam can release on its own when cooking is complete, making it safer than the competitor, while ensuring food comes out flawlessly cooked every time. The high-tech full color digital LCD display and capacitive touch control respond to a light touch for added ease of use. The Smart Cooker operates at a powerful 120V and 1000 Watts for more efficient cooking and is equipped with ETL safety certified for United States and Canadian distribution, FCC certification, FDA approval, and BPA-free accessories. Use of the CHEF iQ App and Smart Cooker outside of the US & Canada is not recommended or encouraged.

Smart Cooker that works!

THE BREAKDOWN:
The packaging was very well done and protected. It came with the main pot itself, rice paddle, scoop, steaming basket, cooking rack, plastic measuring cup and 2 rubber mitts.
The Smart Cooker is a 6-quart model that weighs approximately 10 pounds. I have seen several other brand cookers like this one and that seems to be the average size. I will certainly easily feed a family of 4. The black exterior isn’t necessarily the most attractive, but it is not that bad either. I typically store these type of appliances in the cabinet anyways so not something that worries me.
On the front of the unit you will find a 2.83-inch LED screen that in used by a knob at the bottom. There is no other actual physical buttons on the machine. There are just areas on the screen that will light up that you can interact with.
One of the cool features is the built-ion digital scale. I have compared this to a stand-alone digital scale that I own and it is very consistent with reading between them.
The CHEF iQ Smart Cooker has pressure cook, slow cook, sear/sauté and steam as buttons on the display. There are some additional modes that are available through a “more” button such as ferment, sanitize and keep warm. There is also a favorites button that will show recipes you have save in the Chef iQ app.
There is also the pressure release options which are quick release, natural release and pulse option that is controlled by a venting valve on the back part of the lid.
Setting up the Smart Cooker was just a little tedious as you had to download the Chef iQ app for iOS and/or Android. You will then need to create an account then use the app the connect the Smart Cooker to your home Wi-Fi network. For me the Smart Cooker would only find my 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi which really isn’t an issue just thought I would mention it. Once connected it may need to do an update before you can use it.
So, to start my testing I decided to make some rice. Tested the scale and let the Smart Cooker calculate. The plan displayed on the screen which for me was 8 min of high pressure cook with a quick release. What a breeze to cook and the rice came out amazing. I personally own a separate rice cooker and I can say that this Smart Cooker will replace that old rice cooker. I have cooked several meals to include a cabbage soup that is pictured and they all were very easy and fast.
Ok, so the app itself was just ok. I think there was just a little over 100 recipes available on the app. There is also a tips and tricks section that had a knife skills 101 and Onions 101 videos. There is a favorite sections where you can save your favorite recipes. It also has a calculator section where you can choose a cooking method such as pressure cook , slow cook, sauté or steam. After you choose one of those it opens up another menu of things to choose from until you get to what your looking for and it give you the recommended cook settings. There is also a more section that lists your appliances, cooking history, about this app, what’s new and few other standard options. Lastly, it has a picture of the cooker in the middle that connects to your Smart Cooker.
PRO’s:
-Has built in scales
-6-Quart capacity
-Dishwasher safe
-Pressure cook to sauté ability
-Large easy to read display
-1000W of power
CON’s:
- Standard black appliance appearance
- The app needs a little more work
SUMMARY:
Overall, I feel that this product worked very well and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this. Not sure if I already owned a Smart Cooker if I would replace it with this one.

MUST HAVE PERIOD

THE BREAKDOWN:
The packaging was very well done and protected. It came with the keyboard, USB-C to USB-C charging cable, the USB dongle/receiver and some instructions.
The design of the keyboard is sleek in true fashion of Apple with the space grey finish and minimalist design. I love the fact that this keyboard is sleek and minimalist but heavy. It gives you that solid feel like it was made to last a lifetime.
Connection was fast and easy via Bluetooth or the USB dongle/receiver. You can also switch between 3 apple devices and continue typing with the click of button on the keyboard (“The Easy Switch”). I was skeptical about this feature, but it did indeed work as intended.
The keys themselves felt amazing, they have little spherical dish shapes on them that seem to capture your fingers to the center of the key. I found this to be very comfortable and precise. You can also customize the Fn keys once you download the logictech software.
Keyboard illumination was very cool. I personally love backlit keyboards. These are no ordinary lights on a keyboard, they actually sense your hands as they move toward the keyboard and light up. It is pretty neat stuff. They also automatically adjust brightness based on the changing light conditions. If you are not a person that enjoys the backlit keyboard you can simply turn the feature off by using the option button and the F5 key until there is no lights. An additional note is that once the battery gets to 10% you get a notification and they turn off.
The USB-C charging cable works as intended and it is to be noted that it doesn’t include a charging head. For some that is a turn-off but for me it isn’t because my MacBook Pro only has USB-C ports, so it is easy enough to plug and charge.
PRO’s:
-MAC layout
-Spherical dish shaped keys
-Sleek and elegent
-Backlit Smart Illumination
-Multiple MAC’s at the click of button
-Customizable Fn buttons
CON’s:
- Absolutely none from me

Nice 3 in 1 Charging station

THE BREAKDOWN:
The packaging was very well done and protected. It came with the stand and power cable that is 2 prong regular 120V house plug.
The design of the dock is sleek and light. It can charge your iPhone, Apple watch and AirPods all at once. I have a thick Otterbox Case on my IPhone XS Max and it still charged it with no issues. You do have to make sure you set it nice and flat on the dock otherwise it will not charge.
My only real complaint is with the Apple watch charging dock. I have a protective case around my watch ( it is a series 5, 44mm) and it won’t mount to charge on the dock. If I take the case off it charges just fine, but at the annoyance of taking off your case and putting it on everyday. I feel that it should be able to move/pull up a few clicks to accommodate watch cases or just mount on top. The only issue with mounting on top is you lose your nightstand mode, but with your phone do you really need the nightstand mode on the watch??
The Air Pod charger works as intended and I had no complaints with that. One thing I failed to mention is that it does have LED lights that shows the charging status.
PRO’s:
-Charge 3 devices at once
-Night Mode for Apple Watch
-LED light showing charging status
-Charges phone with thick case
CON’s:
- Will not charge Apple Watch with case on

Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine w/ LatteGo, Black
is that machine automatic?
Yes, this machine is automatic. Once you load the whole beans or you can a scoop of ground coffee and fill the water reservoir you just select the button for which coffee you would like it to make. It automatically dumps the grounds inside. I have made several cups before I had to empty the grounds collector. Hope that helps.
