Heavy duty, No Frills Blender
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
from Glenn Dale, MD
Inside the box you will find a base, pitcher and lid. Unlike other blenders there are no extras. However, this blender does have a heavy duty feel and it performs exceptionally. Ice and frozen fruit don't stand a chance. Its so powerful I contemplated throwing some rocks into it to make some sand.

Good security camera that gets the job done.

After using the cameras for a few days I have come to the conclusion that the cameras are worth buying. It comes with a base station with integrated siren, two wireless cameras with night vision, two rechargeable batteries, two magnetic mounts, a network cable and a charger. Installation was really easy, I would say the hardest part is trying to figure out where to put the cameras.Some of the things I liked were that, the app works great, the batteries have only discharged about 10% in the last week and it is seemingly unaffected by rain. In the day, the video quality is very clear and it has a nice wide field of vision. However, the negative qualities of the cameras become apparent at dusk.The night vision is tolerable and the the camera quality continually degrades as it becomes darker outside. The video is displayed in grey scale and the field of vision is reduced to about 15 feet. Also, the cameras haven't detect all movement outside.It seems to only detect movement from about 20 ft away. With all that being said, it is still a good security camera, that will get the job done.

Really good and fairly priced

from Glenn Dale, MD
Dirt Devil is definitely making a comeback with this stick vac. Over the years i've used quite a few stick vacs and car vacs, all of which were more expensive than this one. However, this one is definitely just as good if not better because of the price. Some of the things I like are that it's light, easy to navigate, has a long lasting battery and it comes with a two brush attachments. The smaller brush works great in the car and the larger one works great on the carpeted stairs. There are a few cons which have nothing to do with performance. one is that it's not very good looking and the other is that it feels cheap. Aside from that it's actually a really good stick vac.

Good for someone with neighbors and thin walls.
on November 3, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
from Glenn Dale, MD
I have the SimpliSafe Defend 11 piece system, which comes with a base station, Keypad, keychain, 2 motion sensors and 6 door/window sensors. I did not purchase any of the no contract monitoring plans, so I cant comment on it.
Some of the things I like about it are that It was easy to install and configure right out of the box. Every sensor connected to the base station and worked flawlessly. Aside from that, I really couldn't find anything else I liked about it.
My first disappointment was that the motion sensors are supposed to be mounted in the corner of the room, about 5 Ft from the ground. This puts the sensor at eye level which makes it an eyesore for just about everyone. Furthermore, the entire system looks like it was produced with design cues from 10 years ago. My next disappointment was that it didn't come with a separate siren. The base station does have a speaker on it but it's not very loud. When I tested the alarm I could barely hear it in my basement or upstairs bedroom. Next was the app, it does not work or do anything for a stand alone system. I was unable to use it because I don't pay for the service.
With all that being said, if you have a small apartment or townhouse and are looking for a cheap stand alone system, this probably will work for you. If you are in a single family home it's pretty much worthless without the service because your neighbors won't hear it.

Good but not great.

from Glenn Dale, MD
Totally wireless earbuds are fairly new, with that being said, I will start with my Pro's. The design of the charging case is great. It is small, sleek and well designed. The buds are fairly comfortable and lock into your ears pretty well. The sound is pretty good and the Jaybird App allows for complete customization of the sound profile. Phone calls are clear and are broadcast out of the right earbud. The cons are, Bluetooth is not that good, they don't get loud enough and the buds cut out too often.

The Best Totally Wireless Headphones I have used.
on October 20, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
from Glenn Dale, MD
I have been using these for a while, primarily listening to Pop, Hip Hop and acoustic covers. In every genre the sound is perfect. They can get pretty loud without distortion and provide the right amount of Bass. Also the noise Cancelling works great. The fit is great, they are very light, snug, balanced and overall comfortable. The Bluetooth connected instantly and the signal is good for up to about 30 ft. The only cons I have found is that the Sony headphones app sucks, they can only connect to one device at a time and phone calls only broadcast to the left headphone. With all that being said, these are still by far the best totally wireless, noise canceling headphones I have used so far.

Great looks, Great attachments, Great performance

I've owned a few Ninja blenders over the years and they never fail to impress me. The Ninja Intelli-sense kitchen system is a great all inclusive blender. The thing I like most is the new gunmetal/piano black exterior and touch screen. When the blender is powered off it looks very clean and modern and when it on it looks like a technological marvel. It comes with a powerful ice crushing 1200 watt motor, traditional pitcher blender, smoothie blender, food processor bowl and my girlfriends favorite the spiral noodle maker.

A toy with much potential.

The merge cube is an Augmented Reality (AR) tool for use with Merge Virtual Reality (VR) glasses. In order to use it, I had to download the Merge cube app on my phone and place my phone into the merge VR glasses. After playing the available games and content I was impressed. Mostly because of how accurate it is and how much potential it has. It may not be the hottest toy of 2017 but it will definitely be an interesting one.

For ages 10 and not to far up.
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
from Glenn Dale, MD
From the moment I opened the package, I thought I was going to like it, however, that wasn't the case. First thing I have to point out is that it says it's for ages 10 and up. With that being said, I may be the wrong demographic for this VR headset. Out of the box, I can say that it has a slip on the top for your phone and a window in the front, which pops out, so you can use the merge cube. Aside from that, it looks ok, feels soft and is lightweight in the hand. Once you put your phone inside of it and put it on your face, that's where the pro's stop. It's hard to focus, lets in a ton of light, feels heavy on your face and it fogs up pretty bad. I probably wouldn't buy this for an adult that is into VR, however, I definitely would consider it as a gift for a 10 year old. (who most likely wouldnt mind all the things I complained about.)

Winegard Extreme 2.0 High-Performance Wireless-AC Access Point and Outdoor Wi-Fi Range Extender. The Extreme 2.0 Extender offers 1,000 ft. of boosted range - Winegard's best, and most secure, outdoor Wi-Fi solution.
I live in an RV and I do not have access to wifi routers at most RV parks I stay at. Will this extender connect to a wifi router/site if I cannot physically reset the router? Thank you
Yes. The Winegard access point connects to the main router the same way a laptop or phone would connect and does not require the main router to be reset.

Can this indoor camera be set up in a window to record outdoor activity? I can’t use a doorbell camera due to a porch pillar blocking the view of the mailbox. I am looking for something to capture both the mailbox and the porch steps.
It can. However the camera moves a lot and you will probably run into issues with window glare.

Does "Wired" mean not battery operated (i.e. wired into wall for power) or no Wi-Fi (i.e. wired directly into router)?
There is no battery, it does use WIFI and the only wire is for power.

Are they loud
This is tough question because it's subjective. I will say it they are loud. But not loud enough for me to lose hearing.
