Ergonomics are great, customizable, great battery.

This mouse is extremely ergonomic and I love it! The way your hand holds it just comes naturally. It does take a little getting used to. There are two action buttons on the left side that feel like they are going to get in the way at first. I thought I was going to be hitting the buttons by accident all the time, but after you start using the mouse you naturally avoid them and end up having an exceptional experience.
The only thing that I didn't like is that in order to program the buttons you need to install yet another Logitech application. I already have two that I use for my keyboard and old mouse. I think it is three if you include a Logitech installer software that is also used. So this new software is called Logitech Options Plus Beta. I was not able to install it on my work computer as it requires admin rights. I will get it installed by my IT department one day. But I am using it on my personal laptop and it is great and behaves exactly like Logitech Options. I am not sure why they have to release new software for each new generation of products vs just updating the existing software. It is frustrating.
Anyways, I have programmed my buttons and customized them. One button I programmed a keystroke (cntrl+home) so that I can easily get to the top of my documents and web pages. It is one of my favorite shortcuts. I also have a button as the back button, and the button under the scroll wheel shows my desktop. I love the customizable buttons and it adds a lot of extra value and usability to the mouse.
Overall I highly recommend this mouse. You can customize the buttons, it is rechargeable (over a week and have not had to charge), and it feels extremely natural in your hand. I love it!

Love this flosser, has not left my counter top.
on May 14, 2022
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Mundelein, IL
I have been using this flosser every single day since I got it. I am using it way more than I thought I would and I love it! It has three features, strong spray, medium spray, and pulsating spray. I use it on medium and pulsating spray. I have not even needed to try the strong spray as this flosser gets everything pretty efficiently. My teeth are not very tight and I have small gaps where the standard settings can get any debris out from between the teeth. My wife uses the strong setting as her teeth are closer together. She also says that it feels like it gets everything out.
This flosser does take at least one or two tries to get the hang of it. You have to hold the power button down to turn it on and put in stand by. Then you push the power button once to start the flossing action. Water sprayed all over my first time. Then I felt like water was spraying as it ricochet off my teeth. But then the second time I tried it I had the whole process down pretty good. I had it set to the medium setting once I activated it. I got it in position, then hit the button to start the flosser. I then angled my head down and aimed the flosser directly in between my teeth and it reduced the splash back greatly.
You also have to be very effective with your flossing as the water tank is small and does not last very long. If you are efficient, you can floss all of your teeth with one water fill. If you spend more that a few seconds on a section of teeth you will find the water runs out before getting all of the teeth. Some people who want to be extremely thorough will find the need to fill up twice to get everything. I personally think it lasts just long enough for me to get everything as I have the process down to a science.
I have been using this for about a week and only charged it when I first got it. I think the battery life is superb. I cannot say enough good things about this flosser. It has not left my counter top in my bathroom. I will be taking this with me on vacations as well. I love it!!

I was very hopeful when I first received this mattress. I was excited to receive a nice memory foam mattress that could help me sleep more comfortably. I was quickly disappointed after just a few nights. The mattress comes rolled up and air compressed in a plastic bag. Once you remove it from the bag it takes about 15 minutes to fully expand. That is relatively fast compared to some memory foam mattresses in the past. Once it is fully expanded it does not look very thick and it is not very firm. Once you lay on it, it completely sinks down to the box spring. It does not hold up very well. I am a heavier person (220lbs) and maybe a lighter person will have a better experience. But I just cannot get used to a mattress that sinks this bad. I will be getting a mattress topper in hopes to help this issue, but for now I am not too happy with this upgrade.

Works like a charm, I love it!

This screen casting device works perfect. I tested it with multiple devices using my TV. The experience was pretty much flawless as I experienced no lag or audio issues. The instructions are a little intimidating, but once you connect it to your TV and turn it on, it becomes discoverable by the device you want to cast from.
When you first connect it, a QR code is displayed. You scan it with your phone and connect the device to your wi-fi. It is that easy. Then you are ready to go.
The first device I tested was my PC. I used the keyboard shortcut to launch the screen share option on my PC and the device popped up. I selected it and it connected immediately. It honestly looked like my PC was connected with an HDMI cable. The second device I connected was my Samsung Galaxy phone. I used the Smart View option and the ScreenCast was discoverable. I connected and it worked immediately. I was using almost every feature of my phone and it was displayed with no issues on my TV. The last device I casted from was my old LG tablet. It was the same experience where I used the LG screen share function, found the ScreenCast, and was connected and sharing within seconds.
I even took this with me to a short hotel stay over a weekend. I logged it into the hotel's wi-fi and was streaming content from my phone. I will take this with me everywhere I go on vacation.
This little device is extremely convenient when you want to cast to a TV from almost any device that supports screen sharing. It worked with no issues and I think everyone should have one for convenience.

Super high end racing wheel provides lots of fun.
on February 6, 2022
Posted by: Bootleg89

This racing wheel is super high quality. The box it comes in is big and heavy. The wheel is very sturdy and looks and feels high end. The racing pedals are also heavy and steady. They feel very good when you press them. You will not be disappointed with the build of this wheel and pedals.
To connect this setup you need to connect a cable from the pedals to the wheel, connect a power supply from the wheel to an outlet, then the USB cable from the wheel to your console or PC. Then when you turn on your device the wheel automatically calibrates itself. It's pretty cool because the wheel spins by itself and stops when it is "level". You then go to a website and lookup your model number and download the firmware. This is all explained in instruction manual. It seems very tedious at first, but when you are finished you feel like it was not that bad. The website also lists several games that work natively with the wheel. So I purchased American Truck Simulator to use with it. It was awesome!! I had to tweak some setting in the game, but that is not the wheel's fault. I was up and running and I had so much fun. I even got my wife and wife's aunt to use it and they had a blast. It is so cool to look out the windshield of a big rig and drive using a wheel and pedals like the real deal. The wheel has great resistance when turning and it vibrates with feedback, but in a natural way. It is hard to explain, but it feels authentic versus a controller "rumbling".
The only down side was when I played a game that was not on the compatibility list. I had to setup a lot of features in the game and it still did not work right. The wheel response in the game did not work very well and I had no control. I feel that there may have been several more steps of calibration and setup I could have done, but it was simply not worth it for that game. Again, that is not the wheel's fault, it was likely the game or user error.
Overall, I do feel that this racing wheel setup can legitimately be used in the most high end racing simulators you could create. It does not have a shifter, so that may deter one from a high end simulator. But for gaming at home, this wheel gives you everything you need and then some.

Easy to use, works as described, great sound.

I love these earbuds! I am always trying to find good hear protection and always end up using some over the ear noise cancelling headphones. This is because I like listening to music while I am working on my home projects and doing my yard work. These earbuds combine the best of both worlds. They have the soft foam that you roll with your fingers so you can insert them and expand them in your ears for a tight seal. Then you power them up so you can listen to whatever you like from your phone. It has nice big buttons so that you can control the volume and play/skip tracks with gloves.
It even has an ambient noise feature that is super cool. There is a big switch that you flip to turn on the ambient sound. When you first turn it on is sounds kind of fuzzy, but when you actually use it, it allows the sound to come in perfectly. You an also raise and lower the ambient allowance. It is super cool. I tested it thoroughly and it works really nice.
As far as the hearing protection, I have used it around the house with everything from power tools to blenders and it has worked wonders. It is still winter here in Chicago so I have not used it for mowing the lawn, but I already can see that it has help up to any loud noise I could throw at them. I have a nice sun hat I like to use outside but cannot use it with my over the ear headphones. These earbuds will come in clutch when the time comes.
The sound on these earbuds is also very nice. The sound is clear and crisp with the perfect amount of bass. If I had to find something to complain about, the charging port cover does not allow much room for the cable when you open it. It is kind of funny. But overall I can honestly say that I love these earbuds. I am going to use them every time I cut my grass, vacuum my car, use my air compressor, and use any of my power tools. I can't say enough good things about them.

Does what it says, disperses soothing heat.

This heat lamp gets real hot and feels great on sore spots. The only issue I found is that the light gets so bright yet is hard to not look at it. The instructions have several disclaimers that I think must be followed intently, and the main one is to not look at the light. I found this easier said than done since the face of the lamp is so large. The lamp even includes small glasses like when you go to the tanning salon. You also have to be very careful where you place the lamp. The instructions also tell you where and where not to place the lamp since the heat can be so intense.
The lamp itself does get very hot, and the infrared technology does penetrate the area. While the heat is working it feels very soothing. I do like using it, I just debate if it is much better than a heating pad. I suppose it is better in the fact that it does not need to make contact with the skin, I am just not so sure it is worth it.

Super cool, I love it!

First of all, I love purchasing and listening to records. So when I saw this item coming out I had to jump on it. I soon realized however, that it seems to be a step back in the portable music market. When you think about the progression, portability is the main reason why records went away in the first place. Tapes, CDs, MP3s, then eventually streaming came to be the convenient method of listening to music on the go and when traveling. So why would you want to lug around a record player with a stack of vinyl's with you when you are out and about or traveling? It is more of a gimmick if you ask me, but I could see a few scenarios in which portability can be useful.
One scenario would be if a relative digs out their old record collection but haven't owned a record player for several years or decades. This could lead to a great bonding moment. You can dust off their old records and have a great time. Another scenario would be if you are a record/vinyl aficionado and have a friend or friends that are curious and want to experience it for themselves. You can take it with you and show off your taste and knowledge of the vinyl record.
Now on to the performance and features. The record player is very compact and has a convenient guitar strap. I hope that the internals of the player remain intact if it is carried around for a long trip or walk. You pop open the case and push the big button/volume know and you are ready to go. I played a brand new vinyl on it and I was pleasantly surprised. It sounded very good and I was pretty happy with the sound. The speakers are good, not great. It does get loud too when you need it to, but they sound quality is not there. I then put it into pairing mode and connected it to a big Sony Bluetooth speaker I have. Wow, a whole different experience. It sounded crisp and clear and with no pops or hisses or anything. The record was new, but I feel that the player produced the sound at a very high level. I believe it uses an entry level Audio Technica stylus. But a dedicated speaker is the way to go. You can also have the record player receive Bluetooth and you can use the player's speakers to stream off your phone or other music device. I would not recommend this unless you are at said relative or friend's house and you have exhausted your record collection and want to stream music and have literally no other speaker to do so.
Overall I think that this is a really nice record player. The built in speakers are nice to have so that it is an all in one self contained unit. A step above the suitcase players but below a nice day to day stationary record player. It would be hard to be disappointed in this player since it does everything as advertised and yet can be carried anywhere you want to take a record player. The questions is when would you?

Nice monitor, some backlighting issues.

I like this monitor overall and it is very nice at the price point. The physical look and feel of this monitor are very nice. The panel is very thin and It has red accents. I was actually very impressed with the looks as I have owned Element TVs before and you could clearly see that it was a low end unit. You cannot say that about this monitor. It is very sturdy and the legs assemble very nice and feel secure.
I connected this monitor to my gaming PC and ran a Blue-Ray movie and immediately noticed the backlight bleeding through on the black scenes. You can see from the photos I attached. This was very noticeable and very distracting. During scenes without completely black scenes it looks fine.
I have also been using the monitor every day with my work computer and my gaming PC for general use. Here is where the monitor shines brightest (no pun intended). Everything looks sharp and the display is a nice size and orientation. I can snap my windows to the two sides and have had zero issues. I really enjoy using it each day. I have a nice 3 monitor setup in my home office in my basement, but when I like to be around the family or need to do some kitchen work I work upstairs. I have this monitor on my kitchen table and love using it. I then connect my gaming PC to it and do some school work (online classes). It works perfect for day to day use.
I then ran a game off it and it looked great. I had no complaints as I was able to play with no noticeable imperfections and everything ran smooth. I really like this monitor and I will continue to use it every day.
I connected this monitor to my gaming PC and ran a Blue-Ray movie and immediately noticed the backlight bleeding through on the black scenes. You can see from the photos I attached. This was very noticeable and very distracting. During scenes without completely black scenes it looks fine.
I have also been using the monitor every day with my work computer and my gaming PC for general use. Here is where the monitor shines brightest (no pun intended). Everything looks sharp and the display is a nice size and orientation. I can snap my windows to the two sides and have had zero issues. I really enjoy using it each day. I have a nice 3 monitor setup in my home office in my basement, but when I like to be around the family or need to do some kitchen work I work upstairs.

I think that these sunglasses are very stylish and are very cool. They feel super high quality and I really enjoy the way they look and feel. They are easy to pair and I even used them right out of the box without needing instructions. I did use the instructions to figure out the exact functions of the buttons. Once I was all setup I began to paly some music on them.
My first impressions of the sound quality was that it felt like I was wearing headphones that were not seated correctly on my ears. The sound is a bit muffled and not very clear. I then cupped my hands over my ears and was able to get a much better sound. I believe the sound it produces is supposed to be some type of induction, but I am not 100% positive. It does leave a little to be desired. I turned up the volume and it did sound a little better, but then everyone around me could clearly hear the music. I am not sure how I feel about that. I imagine that if I wear these in public that I will not be listening to anything offensive, just out of courtesy. I did however find them very useful for taking or making a phone call. The person I talk to hears me very loud and clear and I could hear them perfectly as well.
The battery life is very good and I imagine that you can use them at an all day event if at a reasonable volume. I think they would have benefitted from a charging case that can charge them while they are stored. It comes with a collapsible case and it is pretty nice, but does not charge the unit. The charging cable is proprietary and has two cords that need to connect to the arms of the glasses at the same time. I think a better design would be to have it charge with a single point of contact.
I do see these glasses coming in handy if you are going to be out all day and will already be packing sunglasses like I do. Then you will not have to pack headphones or earbuds separately. I honestly cannot wait for summer since I never leave my house without sunglasses and do several outdoor activities. I will get good use out of them.
Overall I like these sunglasses but there are a few downsides. The sound, privacy, and charging are my biggest issues. I do like the idea of having only my sunglasses to carry and have the option of music at any time with them. I am just not crazy about everyone being able to hear me listen to my music, podcasts, or any guilty pleasure I may be indulging in at the moment.

Amazon Alexa is built in, letting you issue voice commands to access entertainment, ask questions and a host of other features. This Logitech Harmony Express smart universal remote control lets you change TV channels, open apps on tablets and tackle numerous other tasks.
Can you use Harmony Elite AND Harmony Express in same room if you tweak Alexa App so that nothing overlaps ie commands,?
Logitech does not recommend using 2 Harmony remotes in the same room.

I have a price match on this.
Bring the sounds of the movies to your home with these Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. The compact size fits neatly on top of your existing tower speakers for an easy way to upgrade your sound system. Mica-reinforced cellular cones reduce distortion, while the MDF cabinets absorb vibrations for better playback. These Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers offer surround sound capabilities for an immersive listening experience.
Today was the first day I saw these (Sony - Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers (Pair) - Black) available at Best Buy (other retailers have had them for about two weeks). It's 10:30am ET and they're sold out. Seriously!? When will they be available? If ever.
They will be available once they are obtained and put back into inventory. Thanks!

Without you knowing it, cybercriminals can infiltrate your Wi-Fi network and steal your identity or invade your privacy by accessing your connected devices. Password protection isn't enough anymore.Engineered with multi-layered security, Norton Core™ intelligently protects your Wi-Fi network and an unlimited number of connected IoT devices such as smart TVs, baby monitors, Wi-Fi thermostats as well as your personal devices like laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets against malware, spyware, ransomware, viruses and more.
Was just advised by Norton rep (have Nighthawk 1900/r7000 + Ubee Spectrum modem & current Norton Internet Security Premium) that I should "ADD the Core to my Nighthawk for enhanced security". Is this correct? So I'd connect Core to modem AND Nighthawk??
You could run the Core from an open Ethernet port from your Nighthawk, but may want to consider eliminating the Nighthawk and only run the Core since it protects all of your connected devices at the source (router).

Have 2yr old Netgear Nighthawk ac1900/r7000 connected to a Spectrum/TW modem and about 350 days left of Norton Security Premium. As much as I like Core-safety sales pitch, is it really so good you'd trash my current router plus 11 month subscription?
Enjoy your tunes by the pool or on a boat with this ECOXGEAR ECOPEBBLE GDI-EGPB100 speaker, which features a waterproof, floating design that protects against moisture infiltration. Bluetooth technology makes wireless audio streaming simple.
Why is the Blue and Orange speaker more expensive (15 dollars!?) than the black one. I just received the orange one and now see the black is 14 dollars less. Why?
The blue and orange dyes are roughly 15 dollars more than the black dye.
