Easy to Use
on August 9, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
from Michigan
This unit is super easy to setup and use. You can use this camera in multiple environments - it can be used either indoors or outdoors. The one caveat that I found with using outside is that it would be very easy to unplug. It doesn't have a way to hardwire the unit, so you have to plug it into an outlet. I don't know how thieves wouldn't just see the camera and unplug it before proceeding, so I don't think it's very practical for outdoor use.
I used it as a security camera, from inside the home. Using it in this manner invalidates the speaker feature, where you can speak to someone via the camera. You wouldn't be able to use this through the window. Also, if you are going to use this camera as a window camera, Logitech offers a window mount (sold separately).
The video is 1080p. The clarity is great. When I reviewed the footage, there was no lag or lost signal. It allowed me to see outside across most of my front yard/entrance way, so I could see when deliveries were made, when my family left/returned, etc. It would have been hard for someone to avoid the camera approaching the entryway. It wasn't exactly hidden, but I don't see how one could avoid the camera view without making it obvious that you were covering something up.
I would buy again.

Good Computer
on August 9, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
from Michigan
I was excited to get this unit. I prefer gaming laptops - I am a heavy user, constantly multi-tasking with many tabs open. Usually, the standard laptop cannot keep up with my use. Since gaming laptops are usually made for heavy use, I think they are better choices for the price.
My first impression is that this computer is HEAVY. This is NOT a unit that I would pack for a trip or carry to the coffee shop. I can appreciate the quality but, to me, the lack of portability is a drawback.
The unit is made by HP, but the case and box do not have HP logos - it has the custom "Omen" logo, which I guess makes it look cool. The case is black with red accents. Again, it's got a lot of cool factor, but as a female, I thought the design was very masculine. Yes, most gamers are men, but there are many female gamers as well. To me, that's an oversight in the design, though I do like the red lights behind the keyboard.
The keyboard has a nice, smooth, almost suede-like feel. It was very nice to type on. However, the programmable keys on the left of the keyboard throw off the feel a bit. I couldn't get used to the finger placement for typing.
Super easy to set up. It comes with HP Orbit, which allows you to link several devices together. I linked the computer with my Android phone, and while it's a novel idea, I don't see using this feature often.
For multi-tasking, I wasn't terribly impressed. I didn't find a huge gain in speed over my previous (non-gaming) laptop. My husband did take it for a few test drives, as he's the gamer in our family. He has a few MMORPGs that he plays on the PC. He found it to be VERY responsive. He's had gaming laptops that couldn't keep up with his use (we had one where we replaced the hard drive multiple times) and this unit was strong enough to keep up AND not overheat. The one drawback that he found was the lack of a DVD drive, especially for the size and weight of the unit. This is easily remedied though.
Overall, this unit is a good buy for the traditional gaming consumer.

Just OK
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
I've been wanting a wireless headset for a long time, so I was looking forward to getting these.
Bluetooth connectivity was easy to set up. One of the first thing that the manufacturer tells you to do is to "burn" in the audio using their app. I downloaded the app and registered my product. Then, I set up the unit to be "burned in". You are supposed to let this app run for 40 hours to properly break in your headset for "maximum" usage. Every ten minutes the app starts over with the most annoying set of sounds. I had it on my desk next to me and, even at the "medium" volume (as recommended), it was obnoxious. Then, for some reason, it would lose connectivity with the headset and then start blasting through my phone. If you do this with your headset, I'd put it in a closet, or an unused room, or under a pillow to run. I stopped it after about a day and a half. Then I had to recharge the headphone so I could test it out.
When I finally got to use it, I found it to be similar in sound to any other ear buds that I've tried. I wasn't impressed by the sound of my music coming through the buds. I do really like the fact that you can hook up any set of ear buds of your choice into this unit. If you had a favorite set, you can use them instead of what comes in the box.
I would still recommend them as they are comfortable and functional, but it's just not terribly special.

Party Radio
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
The first thing that struck me out of the box is the size of the radio. I was expecting a smaller, more portable unit. This unit is 15" wide by 11" deep x 6" tall. It has a carry handle, but it's not super-portable. This is the kind of speaker that you take to a party, or the beach, or a tailgate -- somewhere that you really want to turn up the music. Outside of that, it would be a good shelf unit for an office, which is where my unit will spend most of its time.
I'm not an audiophile, so I cannot speak to the technical aspects of the unit. It comes with an assortment of plugs for use in different countries, so the only real assembly required is to install the proper plug onto the transformer. There is a light in the back to show charging progress. I'm not sure why it's on the back, where you cannot easily see if if plugged in. The inputs are protected by a door that snaps tightly to keep the debris out.
I had trouble syncing the unit to my Android phone via Bluetooth. I would think it was connected and then the music would still be playing through my phone. It took about 4 tries before it finally connected. I was able to turn off the phone features in the Settings, so that the phone wouldn't ring through the speakers. I first played an orchestrated soundtrack piece, and I wasn't impressed by the sound. I turned the unit all the way up and it still wasn't impressive. The piece had a lot of bass and percussion, and it just sounded "blah". I then tried several more poppier tunes and those sounded great. This doesn't have an equalizer of any kind. If I were designing something like this, I'd create an app that would have the ability to set the sound to the mix that I want. There is no specific app for this product.
Bottom line is that this is a great party radio; might even be good for Karaoke.

Loving This Little Gizmo!
on June 18, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
Vacuuming in our home was something that always needed to be done, but seldom was. I'd always wanted to try a robot vacuum and, since I have many Samsung products already, it was a no-brainer to try this product.
It's very easy to set up out of the box. One thing to note: I tried to set this up in my living room, which had a higher plush carpet. The unit wasn't sitting level enough to charge, so I had to move it to a hallway that wasn't carpeted. The app, however, was another story. I had to try several times to get the vacuum set up on the Samsung Home app. The first night I used the unit, the connection kept dropping between the vacuum and the app. After the first night, though, it's been consistently connecting.
The unit will communicate with you via the app, similar to a chat. If something is caught in it, the unit will beep, and the app will tell you that a foreign matter is caught in the brush. The runtime is published at 60 minutes per charge, but I find that my unit runs for about 45 minutes before it needs to recharge itself. It does a great job of picking up stuff; the floors look great. Now, they need to make one that does stairs!

I love this grill!
on June 10, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
I couldn't wait to get this unit out of the box; I used it to grill the same day I received it. I went to the grocery store and got what they call "pub patties" (approx. 1.25# hamburger patties that they sell in the fresh meat case) and some onion hamburger buns. The unit is of very solid constructions and super easy to set up. It comes with both grill plates and griddle plates. You can mix and match them as you need for whatever you are cooking. It has multiple modes; a grill mode, a "BBQ" mode, where the unit opens completely flat for a larger surface for cooking, and a broil mode. I used the grill plates in the grill mode. One of the really neat features of this unit is that there is an app that is specific to this model that tells you how to cook things. When you open the app, you choose your type of meat (beef, chicken, etc.), how much meat you are cooking, and it will tell you what mode to use, and how long to cook it for. It even has a timer you can use and it will ring even if you have the phone on vibrate (as I did). The app told me to cook the burgers on the Sear setting for 7 minutes. I did give the burgers another minute or so and they were done perfectly - well done and juicy. I then used the grill to warm the buns. The next day, I cooked beef kabobs. They came out great, but you'll need to be careful - the weight of the top plate cause the kabob in the front to nearly shoot out of the front. That is the only negative experience (if you can call it that) I've had so far. The plates are dishwasher safe, making for easy cleanup.

Nice Portable Speaker
on May 22, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
Lifeproof makes great products, so I was looking forward to getting this unit. The unit itself has a great design - the ports have silicone covers to keep out debris, the case of the speaker is sealed off to prevent water from getting in. It's lightweight, and has a clip to attach it to your beach bag or backpack. It is pretty durable. Linking it to my phone via Bluetooth was easy. The one thing to remember is that this unit does have a lock feature, so that all of your settings are locked, so that has to be unlocked before you can change anything on the unit. The only concern I had, and why I rated it only 3 stars, was that I had issues with it keeping signal. I was playing satellite radio via an app on my phone so that I could listen in the bathroom while getting ready for work. At first, it worked great. Then, the signal started breaking up, so I had to move the radio closer to the unit. That helped some, but the signal was intermittent. The units were maybe 10 feet away from each other. Other than that, it's a great unit.

Good Vacuum for Quick Jobs
on April 14, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
As with all Dyson products, the design aesthetic is very nice. I appreciate the colors not being vanilla as with other manufacturers. This is not a vacuum that I would do an entire house with, though. It's nicely weighted in your hand, it's not awkward or bulky. Using the trigger is an intuitive feature. I didn't find the suction to be that strong, though. It was good for picking up the stray crumbs, but I still prefer my floor vacuum for large jobs.

Very Comfortable Headphones
on March 22, 2017
Posted by: CMCMom29
My first thought when I opened the box was of how carefully these headphones were packaged. My second thought? How large they were. I normally cannot tolerate a large, bulky headset for long periods. However, once I put these headphones on, I found them to be surprisingly comfortable. I didn't feel like they were weighing my head down in any way. The muffs fit my ears perfectly, and the secure fit helped to drown out any ambient noise. They are truly Plug and Play headphones. They worked with my laptop almost instantly. I tried them out both with music and with game play. One neat thing is that the Razer logos light up with use. While you can't see it, it allows others to see that your headphones are in use. Plus, it looks cool. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I found these headphones to sound as I expected them to. I heard every instrument in my music, the bass was not overpowering, there were no odd changes in pitch. I could lose myself in both my music and game play with ease, even though I had family playing a loud TV in an adjacent room.
