Great For on-the-go Entertainment or Emergencies
on May 6, 2024
Posted by: buckbabes
I come from a generation where radio was one of the only entertainment options outside the home. It provided new music, sporting events, traffic updates, news, and talk radio shows. For the past week, I've been testing the Panasonic RF2400D, portable AM/FM radio. Overall, I'm impressed by its performance.
The Panasonic RF2400D has an excellent build quality, surprisingly strong reception and clear sound quality. It can be used with a wall plug or can be powered by 4 AA batteries (Not Included), It features a carry handle and telescoping antenna. Additionally, it has an easy-to-read display and a tuning knob with excellent feedback and adjustability. I used it in my basement, yard, and even at the job site. In every scenario, I easily was able to tune-in to local stations and was able to enjoy great music with great sound clarity. Also, the volume can get pretty loud.
With that said, this is a great radio for on the go entertainment and for "in case of emergency" situations. It has easily earned my recommendation.

The VoiceCaddie SL3 captures the highest essence of technology in one, state-of-the-art laser rangefinder. An active hybrid GPS laser rangefinder, the SL3 integrates a high-resolution touchscreen, dynamic and detailed green undulation data, and course layout graphics (with eagle eye overview), putt view with elevation/distance measurement, and GPS distance readings. In its scope is a bright multi-color OLED display with best-in-class optical clarity. The SL3 integrates slope compensation, pin tracer with GPS pin assist for advanced stabilization, a ultra-high-speed processor, and high propensity noise filtration. The SL3 is the only device ever to integrate a fully hybrid GPS for maximum filtering and stability, illustrative course layout and green views, and putt distance measurement into a laser rangefinder.

Normally, I golf about twice a week and frequently take golf trips to other out-of-state courses. For the past week, I've been testing the Voice Caddie SL3 Rangefinder..
The Voice Caddie SL3 features top-notch build quality. As soon as I felt it in my hand I could immediately tell that I was holding premium technology. The compact size fits in my hand well and the viewfinder offers excellent clarity. The SL3 is made of metal and it is wrapped in black leather. It also came with a carabiner and white leather pouch. The Carabiner was probably the least premium feature of this product. When I attached it to the golf cart with the carbineer, it was bouncing around and I felt like it could easily break. I would have preferred to have magnets or another method for keeping it attached to the cart.
Setting it up was a learning experience. I had to read the booklet and look up some how-to videos online, but eventually I figured out how to use it. Using the app, I was easily able to find and download my local golf course maps without any additional cost. It features built-in GPS and a laser for determining my position and distance to the flag. I love that it gives me both the slope distance as well as the actual distance, while taking into account if the green is elevated or below the tee box. The OLED touch screen is vibrant and easily visible on sunny days. However, it sometimes was not very responsive. There were a few occasions when I had to keep tapping the golf icon to get it to go into golf mode. But, I am sure this would be fixed in an update.
With that said, This is the most advanced and accurate rangefinder I have ever used. Overall I love it and would recommend it.

Maximize air flow in your house, office, or dorm with this WOOZOO globe remote controlled fan. The powerful yet compact unit comes with a remote to let you control your desired settings from across the room. Five speed settings let you adjust air flow to your desired strength, and optional natural breeze setting imitates the feeling of the outdoors. The whole room fan oscillates left and right, up and down, or all directions together. Enjoy extra-quiet cooling on the circulator’s virtually silent 'low' setting, and make use of the optional 1, 2, and 4 hour auto-off timer settings. Desktop fan offers maximum power, providing up to 353 ft² area coverage, and the 70 inch cord makes it easy to reach the outlet.

I've been testing the new Woozoo Compact Globe Oscillating Fan w/ Remote for a few days, and it is quite impressive.
Considering its size, the fan is very powerful, with air movement being felt from about 10 feet away on the lowest setting to 16 feet away on the highest setting. The motor is surprisingly quiet on the low settings, barely audible at all. When turned up to max, I did need to raise the volume of my TV about two notches.
The other features of this fan are pretty good as well, but they have some minor faults. The cord is slightly over 6 feet long. The onboard controls and IR remote are very easy to use. However, the remote requires line-of-sight to work, and there is a slight delay in response. I like that the fan oscillates in multiple directions. It can be set to move left to right, up and down, a combination of both, and in a breeze pattern. However, it cannot be manually positioned. To point it in a specific direction, I have to wait for the fan to oscillate to the desired position and then press a button to make it stop.
Overall, I think this is a great, stylish, and low-profile fan that I recommend buying.

Feature-rich Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Combo
on April 2, 2024
Posted by: buckbabes
I've been using the Logitech MK955 Signature Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo for about a week now. Overall, I'm very impressed with the styling, build quality, comfort, features, and performance.
The keyboard is excellent. It has a low-profile design similar to a laptop keyboard and incorporates many features from Logitech's MX line. I appreciate that it's lightweight, quiet, and allows me to switch between computers with a single keypress. Additionally, it has a ton of built-in shortcut keys, including buttons for emojis, application switching, desktop switching, screenshots, and voice dictation. I can even remap any of the quick keys to launch specific applications. The only thing missing from this keyboard is backlighting.
The mouse is equally impressive. In terms of look and feel, it's nearly identical to Logitech's MX series mice. Just like the keyboard, it's lightweight, virtually silent, and comfortable to hold. It also allows for switching between computers, and with the help of the Logi Options+ app, I can remap the buttons to perform specific actions.
If you're looking for a feature-rich wireless keyboard and mouse combo, look no further than the Logitech MK955 Signature Slim. It's an excellent choice.

Experience stunning performance with the huge 39” curved WQHD LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor. Stay a step ahead of the competition with an ultra-fast refresh rate up to 240Hz and .03ms response time that will bring you into the game like never before¹. And with the steep and dramatic 800R curve, you’ll feel enveloped in the action from virtually all around you. This UltraGear's ultra-thin bezel design, height, tilt and swivel adjustability along with impressive connectivity options and make this UltraGear, ultra-essential for your battlestation setup.
Posted by: buckbabes
For the past week, I've been testing the LG UltraGear 39" OLED Curved WQHD 240Hz 0.03ms FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible Gaming Monitor with HDR10.
On my desk it is replacing two 27 inch gaming monitors that I used for both gaming and productivity. I have it connected to a gaming computer with an RTX4060TI graphics card via the included Displayport cable. This allows for the full 240HZ refresh rate.
The first thing I will mention is that this monitor is large and has plenty of adjustability. With the stand at its tallest setting it sits 24 inches tall and at its lowest setting it is 19 inches tall. From left to right (without the curvature being factored in) it is 35 inches across. When the stand is placed against the wall the sides protrude 12 inches away from the wall. As for adjustability, the stand only holds the monitor in a landscape position and does not allow for a portrait viewing. However, it does allow for a five inch height change, a significant amount of tilt, and leveling of about half an inch.
Next it eliminates many drawbacks of a two monitor set-up. With one OLED panel I didn't have to worry about panel color differences, or awkward center bezels. Screen positioning is more ergonomic because my workspace is centered in front of me and I only needed one power brick and one HDMI or Displayport cable. This makes cable and power management simpler.
As for performance, the 240 HZ OLED display and 800R curve produce the most immersive and smoothest picture I have ever seen on a computer. I could not see any pixels, or bug screen effects. Backlighting was nothing short of perfection, and the brightness was fantastic. Colors were very vivid and bright. Black and dark colors were very deep and contrast was excellent. While gaming, in fast-paced games like first-person shooters and sports titles, the experience felt more natural. I was able to focus on my field of play without leaving my peripheral vision out in the cold. On high settings and G-sync it consistently stayed at 240 FPS and I didn't experience any tearing, stuttering or lag. While using this monitor for productivity tasks, I appreciated keeping my main window centered while having other applications open in my peripheral vision.
The only drawback to this monitor is that there are no built in speakers, and inserting HDMIs and Displayport cables were a little difficult.
With all that said I highly recommend this monitor.

Your hands, floor and air stay clean and your CordZero vac is ready to go when you need it next.

Excellent Stick Vacuum, Adequate Mop
on March 8, 2024
Posted by: buckbabes
I've been using the new LG CordZero All-in-One Wet/Dry Cordless Stick Vacuum for about a week. This vacuum has some cool features and tools, such as the automatic emptying tower, the spraying wet mop head, the combination soft and hard dry roller head, a smaller furniture head, and two crevice tools. Most of the attachments fit neatly inside the tower's doors, while the two larger heads stay attached to the vacuum or hang off the side of the tower. Everything assembled looks like a truly high-tech, upscale, and well-thought-out package.
While using the CordZero for vacuuming on wood floors, I was extremely impressed by its suction power and its ability to pick up everything it encountered without getting bogged down. This included a significant amount of German Shepherd hair. If the dustbin looked too full, I was able to compress the contents using the Kompressor lever. Additionally, the roller never became tangled when it encountered random strings from dog toys or long human hair. Also, the integrated light made finding dirt and hair I would have missed very easy to capture.
When using it on carpet, again, the performance was impressive. The suction left me confident that it picked up everything it could. However, on thinner rugs, I encountered my first issue. The suction is so strong that it would pull the rug off the floor and jam the roller heads, causing them to stop completely. Fortunately, after reading the manual, I found there was a way to reduce the suction. At its lowest suction power, the CordZero was able to clean even the thinnest rug I had without issue.
When used on my sofas, the furniture cleaning head and crevice tools did an amazing job of removing any crumbs or dog hair. This will eliminate the need for sticky surface rollers from my shopping cart.
As for the spraying mop head, it's best used for small, simple tasks like cleaning paw prints. For larger messes like a dropped egg or spilled cereal, it's completely unusable. While using it for simple cleanup, it did an adequate job. The sprayer nozzle ensured I kept a wet surface, and the pads picked up the dirt. My biggest gripe with the mop head is that setting it up, using it, and cleaning it is inconvenient. After wetting the pads, filling the water container, installing it on the vacuum, cleaning the floor, and then cleaning and drying all the equipment, I could have just Swiffered the floor.
As for the tower, I mentioned earlier that it is self-emptying. By that, I mean that when the vacuum is docked, it will suck out all the debris in the dustbin and put it into a vacuum bag. It then double filters the air before blowing the filtered air back into the room. This is likely a great feature for someone with asthma or allergies. However, I don't think it will be very useful for my household because it introduces a need to buy vacuum bags when I could have just dumped the dustbin contents in the trash. So, that's pretty much what I do - I dump the contents in the trash and let the tower suck out what is leftover.
As for the two large 200-minute batteries, they do provide a lot of power and runtime, but they also take almost five hours to recharge inside of the tower.
With that said, the CordZero is an excellent, long-lasting stick vacuum with fantastic suction and cleaning abilities. But the novelty features weren't that practical and just didn't impress me much.

Space-Saving Design with No Compromises
on February 20, 2024
Posted by: buckbabes
After a week of testing the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless Gaming Keyboard, I can confidently say it's a strong contender for my favorite keyboard.
I was immediately impressed by the keyboard's design. Its compact size saves me valuable desk space without sacrificing functionality. The back features a USB-C charging port, a hidden storage compartment for the wireless RF dongle, toggles for Windows/Mac and power/RF/Bluetooth modes, and on the left, an on/off switch for the keyboard lights. Topping it off are the keycaps which is where the magic happens.
It has silky smooth and responsive keys. The pre-lubricated CORSAIR MLX Red linear switches are fantastic. Each keystroke has a pleasant springy feel, lightning-fast response, and generates significantly less noise than any other keyboard I've tested.
Also, with Its 75% size, the K65 retained all the functionality I needed with full-sized keys, including function keys, arrow keys, and page up/down/home. Missing keys are accessible through convenient function key shortcuts. This keyboard truly delivered all the functionality in a smaller footprint.
Another great feature is the versatile control dial. With a simple press of the FN key along with Up, Down, or Left, you can switch its function between controlling volume, keyboard brightness, scrolling, or even zooming in/out.
Overall Impression
The Corsair K65 Plus Wireless Gaming Keyboard offers a compelling combination of sleek design, top-notch performance, and space-saving convenience. Its quiet and responsive keys, combined with the versatile control dial, make it a strong contender for anyone seeking a top-tier wireless gaming keyboard.

Consistent and Capable
on February 20, 2024
Posted by: buckbabes
For the past week, I have been using the SanDisk Extreme M.2 NVMe SSD in my desktop PC. The version I tested was a one terabyte 2280 without a heatsink. In this form factor, it can easily be used as either a primary or expansion drive in most modern laptops and desktop PCs.
When it arrived, it was packaged similarly to the SanDisk microSD cards I'm familiar with, which gave me a no-frills vibe. However, inside the packaging, I found a capable disk drive that was easily installed without issue. I ran it through multiple benchmarks and transferred multiple files across two drives. Regardless of file size, it consistently performed at or above its advertised speeds. The consistent performance and speed are perfect for sustained workloads, such as content creation, photography, or tasks that require moving large data files across drives.
Overall, despite the no-frills packaging, I would recommend it. This is a great drive that consistently achieved and slightly exceeded its advertised speeds.

A Whole New World Of Better Rice
on January 24, 2024
Posted by: buckbabes
I've been testing the Cosori 5-Quart rice cooker for about a week now, and I absolutely love it! Inside the box, I found the rice cooker itself, a spatula, a steamer tray, a measuring cup, and various documentation.
In my house, the Cosori rice cooker is replacing an 8-year-old rice cooker that served me well. I was expecting similar results, but instead, I was introduced to a whole new world of better rice. When I say better, I mean there was no stickiness or mushiness to the grains. Each grain had the perfect texture and consistency. Even after dinner, the Cosori kept the leftover rice warm and ready to serve.
The Cosori is also very easy to use. In my testing, I used Goya Canilla long-grain rice. I measured the rice with the included cup, rinsing it until the water ran clear. Then, I added water to the fill line and pressed the long-grain rice button. The display initially said it would take 50 minutes, but I felt like the cooking was done in even less time. This rice cooker also has other amazing functions. Since it's 5-quarts, I can make enough rice to feed a small army. It can also sanitize, steam vegetables, cook oatmeal, and quinoa.
Cleanup was a breeze. The inner pot is non-stick, and the lid seal was easy to remove. Both are dishwasher-safe, but I prefer the old-school sink-washing method.
With all that said, I can't believe how fantastic this rice cooker is. I highly recommend it!

Reliable Printing And Rock Solid WIFI Connection
on January 11, 2024
Posted by: buckbabes
When it comes to printer recommendations, Brother is my go-to brand. I've been testing the HL-L2405W Wireless Black-and-White Laser Printer for the past week. Overall, this is a perfect solution for someone who needs fast monochrome printing and long-lasting toner.
The box included the power cable, printer, roller, and toner cartridge. Setup was a breeze - I plugged into the wall, connected to my Wi-Fi, and the printer was immediately ready to use by any computer on my network. All that was left to do was add paper.
In terms of performance, the HL-L2405W does an excellent job. Shortly after hitting print on my computer I can hear the printer spooling up spitting out sheets of paper. One major thing I love about this printer is that it never dropped network connection. It was always available and ready to start printing when I needed it. As for print quality, The text is crisp and clear, with seamless shading, and pages are instantly smear-proof.
With that said, This is a great reliable printer and I highly recommend it.
