Awesome sounding headphones!
on March 28, 2017
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
These headphones sound really good and have the added bass boost button to give your music a little extra thump. You can turn the bass boost off if you don't need it for your style of music or if you want less. The color of the headphones looks sharp and I like the black and red. The buttons are pretty easy to push for the most part and the volume switch is conveniently located under the right earphone.
Connecting them to BlueTooth devices is easy and there's a headphone connection app that you can download, but I was able to connect my devices easily without it.
The headphones are really comfortable on your ears. The padding is very soft.
The only downfall I will say compared to other headphones is that they don't come with a case. Other headphones I've received came with a case to store them in. The charging cable is a little on the short size, but most charging cables are these days for headphones.

Awesome smaller vacuum
on March 21, 2017
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
This Dyson is a nice, small, compact vacuum that does the job. The suction is more powerful than the first iteration of the Animal and does a great job.
This vacuum comes with plenty of attachments that are very easy to take off and put on. This vacuum is more for a quick clean up and the battery only lasts about 40 minutes.
Even after using this on a rug that we had just vacuumed, it picked up more hair and dirt than our normal vacuum, so the suction is very powerful.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

One of the best wireless mice
on March 1, 2017
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
I have used many Logitech wireless mice in the past and this is one of my favorites. It fits comfortably in my hand and is very easy to use. I love the back and forward buttons on the side and the scroll wheel is smooth and fast.
This is a plug and play device which hooked up to my Windows PCs and MacBook with no issues at all. It does require two AA batteries which come with this, so if you don't use this often, just make sure you take them out.
You can also customize the mouse buttons and even get it to do specific things within Office applications, which is pretty awesome.

A great, home Wi-Fi system
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
I received the Linksys Velop system and was very excited about getting this setup in my house.
In the box, you receive three nodes all with power supplies, an Ethernet cable (that is thinner), and a sticker. The quick setup instructions tell you to download the Linksys app to get it setup, so you don't necessarily need your PC to set this up.
I would recommend that if you are going to setup the entire system with all 3 nodes, at least give yourself about 30-45 minutes to do so. The app walks you through every step and even has pictures for those that aren't tech savvy. The three nodes were setup in our office, basement, and master bedroom. With our house being older, we've had some spotty connections in the past with older Wi-Fi routers.
The app was already downloaded and you also have to enable BlueTooth on your phone to get this setup. That's not a complaint or drawback, just more of an FYI.
The nodes all have two Ethernet ports, a reset button, and a holder for your cables so the nodes can stand up. One thing I was a bit surprised about was that none of the nodes have a USB port. I hooked up an external hard drive on my older routers and used them as a media server, but this isn't too big of a deal to me. It's not a necessity.
The signal strength is consistent and seems to have helped in our home. My original setup included a Wi-Fi extender but this had to be placed in a spot that I didn't want, but provided the best signal strength. With these nodes, I don't have to worry about that.
The Linksys app is great for most of the administration. You can see all the devices that are connected, reboot the system, change information on it without going to your computer.
If you need a consistent Wi-Fi home system, I really can't recommend this enough. The mesh network is an awesome setup in my older home and gives me the consistency that I needed.

Works as intended

You can use this to change and listen to music, but can't use it for double charging or two sets of headphones.
The cable works and there's really not much more to it than that!

A great vacuum
on December 19, 2016
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
This is a very nice, lightweight vacuum. The vacuum comes with some great attachments and they are a good size.
One of the coolest features with this vacuum is that the hose is build int the handle, which you can take off in two different sizes. The first one is for a quick pickup and the second has the extended range to get into the higher places. The attachments fit well and are easy to take on or off.
The dust canister is a pretty good size, but might be a little smaller than some other vacuums. It's easy to take the canister off and empty it as well. It just snaps back into place.
If there are any issues with the brush roller, there is an access door for you to get to, so you're not trying to fish anything out of the roller the hard way. Most vacuums have this feature, so this is pretty standard.
The suction on the vacuum seems to work very well. Picks up dust bunnies with ease and does a good job with picking up most things.

A nice portable battery pack

Posted by: JeffyK

The battery pack is great if you have an Apple Watch, iPhone, or both. Comes with the cable to charge the battery, but no Lightning cable (which was expected).
Charges devices quite nicely and haven't had any issues with this.

Great earbuds for working out
on December 1, 2016
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
If you are looking for a good pair of earbuds for working out, then this should be right up your alley. The sound quality is really good for the price of these earbuds, but isn't top tier quality (which was expected).
The earbuds come with different sized earpieces. in small, medium, and large. The default medium size fit my ears just fine, but you can change them out depending on how your ear is shaped.
Connecting them to devices is pretty simple and I haven't had any issues connecting them to my devices. A voice tells you when they are connected to the device, which makes it easy.
The cord that goes around the back of your neck is a good size; not too long or short which allows for good mobility while working out. The earbuds are not noise canceling, but do a good job of drowning out background noise. I can still hear people slightly when I have the volume at the lowest level.
There are two buttons on the earbuds; volume up/down and power. The power button also acts as a way to pause your music, which is nice instead of taking them out.
I would definitely recommend these if you're looking for a decently priced pair of wireless earbuds. They are great for working out and clean up easily.

An easy to use trimmer
on November 15, 2016
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
This trimmer is very easy to use and doesn't take much time at all to learn the ins and outs of it. One of the coolest features of this trimmer is that it can fully charge the battery in an hour. It makes it very convenient for when you need to charge it quick.
The trimmer comes with a very nice carrying case that you can store the trimmer, charging cable, and attachments in and is the perfect size for when you're traveling. No more fumbling around with loose attachments if you didn't get a carrying case with your other trimmer!
The attachments are very easy to change, it just takes a simple twist and it can be removed with ease. Putting the beard/body hair trimmer attachments takes very little time.
This trimmer also comes with some lubricating oil to help keep the maintenance of the attachments.

A great intro to video editing
on November 5, 2016
Posted by: JeffyK
from York, PA
If you are looking for a great intro into video editing, then this is the way to go. There are a lot of advanced features you can't do with this software, but if you're a novice like me then this is great!
You can switch to an expert view on this software for those that have more experience too, but doesn't look too different from the Quick or Guided views. If you're looking for something more advanced from Adobe, you'll probably go with their other software (or maybe something else altogether).

How far can you go away from probe to get a reading on iphone

The dock must be within 5 feet of the thermometer, but you can roam around freely and keep an eye on the app.

Can you use it in a smoker? Can you use in an oven?

I don't see why you couldn't use this in a smoker and you definitely can use it in an oven. As long as the thermometer isn't submerged in liquids, you should be ok. This is splash proof, but not waterproof.

It lets you set a schedule for automated vacuuming, and the sensors help it navigate under furniture and around objects on the floor for a more thorough cleaning job. This iRobot Roomba vacuum has internal brushes, agitators and suction to handle debris and pet hair.
 

Does anyone who owns this model find that it is sort of loud?? The part that is the loudest is not the vacuum part but the part that makes it move I guess. Just wondering if anyone else found it loud or is there something wrong with mine?

Yes, this device is rather loud. I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with it, it's just the way it's made!

Has anyone used these for running? I'm worried they won't stay in my ears...

Yes, I have used these for running. I use the medium sized inserts and haven't had any issues with them. I even did a test headbang listening to metal music and they didn't fall out. I hope that helps!
