Quality Visuals, Portable, Cost-Effective!
on February 10, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The Epson - EX3280 3LCD XGA Projector - White offers quality visual displays while excepting up to a 4k signal, lightweight and portable, all while being cost-effective for a small business, on the go trainer, or even a home theater.
I found this unit to be an excellent companion for my on the go training classes. I was able to expand the screen well over 10 feet in size while keep the image sharp and clear for the whole auditorium. It offers traditional monitor cable and HDMI for up to 2 inputs as needed. Has an onboard speak if needed, but only useful for small rooms. 3600 lumens make the screen viewable in dark or light rooms.
PROS
- Epson quality
- Budget price, high-end functionality
- Bright display, crisp, clear
- Sufficient connections
- Lightweight, portable
- Come with a carry bag
- Remote, cables included
CONS
- A second HDMI or DVI would have been a nice add
- Carry bag is low quality

Hot water, exactly when you need it!

from Pacific Beach, WA
The GE - Electric Kettle with Mechanical Control - Brushed Stainless Steel is another excellent product from GE's relaunch of their home appliance lines. It offers a stylish look for everyday use and designed to find a permanent home on your countertops without taking up too much space or detracting from your kitchen. Offering hot waters in under 3 minutes (we found it to be faster than that), it is ready for your coffee, tea, or soups in a moment's notice.
We found this unit to be perfect for my wife who prefers drip coffee, with out the coffee pot. By the time she is done prepping her coffee filter and carafe, her water is hot and ready to go. I drink tea and this is perfect for a cup anytime and works well with bagged or loose-leaf.
GE is back in the small appliance market and ready to play ball with the big boys!
PROS
- GE hits it out of the park again with this product design
- Look and construction are premium
- Easy to use, set up
- Minimal footprint allows for positioning anywhere in your kitchen or even office

CONS

Perfect start to your hair routine...
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The Conair - Infinitiy Pro Gold Hot Comb - Gold Plated - Gold offers the perfect addition to your morning or special evening hair routine. The Hot Comb provides the usefulness of a curling iron, but the flexibility of a comb and hair dryer. Specifically for those with course, thick, and wavy hair (hair types 2-4).
We found this hot comb to speed up the hair routine for my wife. She has naturally wavy hair and struggles with bed-head, and out of the shower hair. This comb tackled her waves and provided smooth, slick, and manageable hair in both situations. She states it helped increase volume and remained straight all day. Definitely not recommended for anyone with fine or straight hair. Those who may have a special ethnic hair types, which require additional effort and care, will find this a great addition to your daily routine!
PROS
- Conair brand and quality
- Great design and look
- Heats up quickly (approx 30 sec)
- Does not fry hair if used correctly
- Great for a variety of hair types
- Solid build and construction
CONS
- Not effective for finer hair types

Cleaner Water, Easy DYI install!
on January 5, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The Filtrete - Standard Under Sink Water Filtration System 3US-AS01 - White brings cleaner, safer water to your home with their easy to install, DYI system. Get up to 6-months of clearer, fresher, and safer water straight out of your tap without the expense of a large water purifying system and professional installation.
I found this product to install very easily, in under 15 minutes. I only needed my power driver and a crescent wrench. The system fits nicely under my sink and left plenty of room for all the cleaners and things we normally keep there. I do not consider myself a plumber, but I have changes out sinks and faucets before so it was very basic to install.
The water, as expected, initially came out black due to the internal filter purge. After about 1 minute the water was clear and cold. I allowed about 5-7 minutes of free flow as directed to ensure the filter was full primed and ready for the water to be used. It tasted great. This is very good considering I would not drink water from out tap where we live and have too often clear the aerator on our taps from buildup and gunk. This bodes well for using our tap water without worry of what is coming through the lines!
PROS
- Brand recognition and quality
- Easy to find filter replacements
- Easy DYI installation (between 15-30 minutes)
- Solid construction and design for tight spaces
- Does what it claims - purifies and filters questionable tap water!
CONS
- None at this time! Glad we got this!!

Great Program if you can get it installed on Mac!
on December 29, 2020
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The Adobe - Photoshop Elements 2021 - Mac, Windows program is the next update in a long history of Adobe Photo-editing software. Previous years have been easy to install and easy to use. The 2021 version is basically impossible to install on a Mac. Numerous requests to "log-in" to your Adobe Cloud and account, several failed attempts at registering despite working directly through the Adobe platform, and finally resorting to using the trial version just so that I could actually try the updated version out.
I usually give Adobe - Photoshop Elements software 5 stars, however, their 2021 version has been nothing but a disappointment from beginning to end. For reference, I use this program on a MacBook Pro 2019 edition and have never had installation issues before. After nearly a week of trying to get this resolved, I am finally throwing in the towel and returning to my 2020 version as it worked fine without any issues.
PROS
- Adobe brand and quality
- Apparently added RAW photo elements in a recent update
- 1-click download on PC, easy install on Window OS
CONS
- Nearly impossible it install on Mac
- Registration code provided from Adobe does not work
- Multiple account logins required on Mac in order to install and register
- The entire registration process for Mac is frustrating and a waste of time!
- Help/Support links to their website are broken! No real help too resolve registration issues!

Control, Power, Sound - Wow!
on December 20, 2020
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The Soundcore - Rave Neo Bluetooth Speaker - Black is small but mighty compared to similar outdoor Bluetooth speakers. Made for portability, this waterproof speaker doesn't disappoint. LED light effects make it fun for spontaneous dance parties or mood lighting.
I found this speaker to be very surprising. I honestly did not expect much from it as I have tested several of these from several brands. I have to say WOW. It is small, portable, and have amazing control, power, and sound! Volume is more than enough for any venue. The control from the app gives you literally complete control for just about anything you want to do to EQ or change the lighting. The option to direct in or Bluetooth gives you complete flexibility for on the go.
Apparently, you can tether up to 100 of these... I have no way to test this, but if you can, you could literally hold a concert with just these for sound and lights!
PROS
- SoundCore quality build and sound!
- Small size, big sound
- Amazing sound from lowest through highs.
- Crisp and clear sounds
- LED lighting works well in conjunction with beat of music
- Waterproof
- USB-C charging
- Holds 18-hour play charge
- Link up to 100 speaker
CONS
- A bit heavy compared to size
Looking for an outdoor, portable speaker? This is it!

Gaming for Smartphones the right way.
on November 20, 2020
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The Anker PowerCore Play 6700 - Black offers a unique way to make your smartphone into a real portable gaming device. Compatible with most phone sizes, the Anker PowerCore will hold your phone securely allowing you to play without the fear of dropping it. With up to 30 hours of power/charge and a built in cooling fan this smartphone gaming accessory gives you the competitive advantage.
I found this device to be more than I was initially expecting. I did not know if it was just going to be a hand held dock or just another portable power supply. It is basically a combination of both. The kickstand feature did not seem particularly useful for gaming, but if the device is being used as a stand or dock, it comes in handy. The cooling fan did not seem to be needed for my iPhone 12 Pro, but other phones may run hot after extended use so it may be warranted. The device is quite heavy but it does hold up to 30 hours of back up power. My biggest complaint is that you must use a cord to charge the device. If you are not using your phone, then it charges fine. If you are trying to charge and game at the same time, the cord gets in the way and is clunky. Was wireless charging an option - this would have made more since if it was possible.
PROS
- Solid build and holds phone securely
- Can hold most stand phone sizes
- Up to 30 hours of charging
- Kickstand feature
- Cooling fan for those phones that run hot
CONS
- Must use cord to charge phone even when playing a game.

Tons of power for most devices!
on November 18, 2020
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The Belkin - BOOST CHARGE 24W Wall Charger - White is the typical power brick with a few advance features to make your life faster and easier. Offering a folding power plug to make for easy pack and go travel, dual high output USB-A inputs, and rounded edges.
I found this to be the usual power brick with the enhancements listed above. However, I do have to note that a couple of my devices I tested it with would not charge. I tried several devices which did work including an iPhone 11 Pro, 12 Pro, Airpods Pro, and iPad 11 Pro. I had issues with a wireless home security camera and another ear bud that would not charge. My explanation is that the output power of this brick is too high and the devices do not recognize it or prevent the charge to protect the device.
PROS
- Belkin quality and build
- Design is excellent for travel
- Dual outputs
- High output for fast charge
CONS
- Some devices may not charge due to high output of this unit.

The AU-Stream Hybrid is a premium headphone engineered to create a powerful sound that exceeds expectations in a true wireless earbud. The AU-Stream Hybrid reduces the ambient noise in your surroundings and, like all of Ausounds' Soundproof noise-cancelling earbuds, this earbud still provides the most detailed and accurate sound, even when ANC is employed

Great Sound, Lacking Features!
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
Ausounds - AU Stream Hybrid True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black provides great sound quality in its effort to complete with and play in the big league brands. Offering great sound quality and compact design, it lacks some of the basic feature that have become synonymous with wireless earbud.
I found this set of earbuds to offer great sound quality, good range, and good volume. I do, however, disagree with the numerous 5 start ratings available for this product. I found the features very limited, user experience difficult to work, and there is no app available on the Apple App Store which is almost the basic essential for any earbud on the market. The lack of app makes me question the ability to update any firmware for future OS updates on phones or other Bluetooth products. Additionally, the instructions are very limited with something akin to poorly written instruction from overseas for a knockoff product.
I found the charging case to be good, however, it is slippery due to the all plastic design. The charger case works good, stores a charge so that the earbuds can be charged on the go without needing a plug in. I found the earbuds themselves to be slippery as well, fully smooth plastic, and I almost dropped them several times pull them out of the case. They were also uncomfortable after extended use causing my ears to hurt due to the pressure on the ear structure. This does seem to happen with other earbuds I have tried, but for the price point I expected them to be more comfortable over the longhaul.
PROS
- While unfamiliar with AUSounds brand, I felt that they produced great sound quality, range, and volume
- USB-C and Wireless charging
- Cord and additional ear plug sizes included
- Smaller than similar charging case makes for easy on the go or in your pocket
- 4 LED indicator lights let you know when you are fully charged
- Good packaging makes this product seem premium out of the box
CONS
- Plastic all around/Slippery
- Uncomfortable after long periods of use
- No Smartphone App
- Limited instruction
- User interface is difficult to learn/setup with limited instruction and no app
The sound quality make these earbud worth the price for some people. Others may find the price to be high considering other options within the same price point.

The right HDMI Port - Makes the Difference
January 22, 2015
Make sure you have the signal inputted into the high def HDMI port. We made this mistake at first and everything was choppy - especially fast motion. Switched to port 5 I think it is and the image is PERFECT even with fast motion!

You did not use the Smart Features then, since it does have a browser and allows for split-screen usage to watch TV and browse simultaneously! You returned a Gem due to your inexperience. Hope you enjoy the extra $500-$1000 you will spend to find anything close to this one!

NOT what the hype makes it out to be!
By DrHedrick from Western Washington
So far, after about 5 days, I am somewhat disappointed with the Galaxy S6. The battery life sucks compared to the Note 2 I am switching from. It is very laggy and definitely not "snappy" as per the many claims. Sometimes it must be restarted to be able to use it as the fingerprint unlock and alternate keyboard unlock do not work and the phone blacks out after 3 seconds. Only 32GB available onboard and I have the over half-way filled at this point and no way to expand it with a sealed phone. The fingerprint scanner is fair, but useless while driving. Hard to navigate or find previously easy to use settings. Notifications are frustrating since they all are OFF out of the box.
As a somewhat power user, I wish I had opted for the Note 4/Edge instead of settling for the S6.
The few Pros I can offer are the following...
1. The screen and clarity is amazing
2. The pictures and videos are equally amazing
3. Smaller and lighter than the Note series
4. Interesting new features, although I have not had time to fully explore them.
There are better options available if you can afford them... ie- Galaxy Note series!

A Great Idea crippled by horrible App
By OmieOne from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great idea. Three routers with a backhaul over Mu-MIMO. In theory could get good coverage for a house and for the people who get this to work I'm sure it is a great product. I have wasted over 3 hours over two days trying to get this router to work. I can only get one Node configured. The other two nodes won't connect event when I place the nodes right next to each other, I still get errors like out of range.
My experience has been very poor. Please note to setup and administrator this router IT REQUIRES and IOS or ANDROID DEVICE. This app is not in the Amazon store. I have a few of the cheaper Amazon tablets and figured while I wait for my new Android phone I could use that or worse case like EVERY OTHER ROUTER ON THE MARKET I could hardwire or connect to default wireless network and setup the routers via a web page. No. If you try Linksys Mocks you and tells you must use an app. I had to borrow an android phone to setup this up to test. I should have stopped there. I don’t mind apps and it would be fine if the app was useful. But it isn't. It was written under the assumption you would not have a problem, but the number of times I've tried to add Nodes to this and got told, hey you'll need a plug etc. It takes like 5 clicks to start the add a node process. Not ideal, esp. if you notice someone keeps trying stop making me over click. Seeing it say Uh-Oh press the red reset button and have it not really fix the issue just induces rage, or when it says it is setting up and just hangs, no good.
Also, when the nodes don't connect there is no useful information. The Linksys Range extender I have gave me more information via the web page then this app on if they are two far or close.
Additionally, I've tried resetting the system, via the reset button, but I have no idea if that is working since I can't connect to the router except via the app and it doesn't tell me if it is back to default connection. Additionally, this app connects to your Velop via an Internet cloud connection. It is faster when your connected via wireless to the node, but still have that little cloud connection, and I'm not a fan of having to connect to a Cloud service that I can't two factor protect and won't use the full keyboard of symbols forcing me to use an extra-long password to protect my router.
This setup experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth and crippled what could be a good idea. The single router when it was working I checked my phone, and I know it is using both 5Gz and 2.4Gz still have me a strong signal throughout my house and only needs one. But I was looking forward to using this to extend some LAN ports to a few places and saving me a few 50ft. cords I have in the house. With the backhaul it would have been able to cover the data my switches have.
Other cons no USB ports so if you have a printer or USB HDD on your current router, you'll need to consider other options if you go with this.
I really wanted to like it, but not providing a customer with additional tools or an easy way via the app to reset or control the router is frustrating. I know my next step is to try this weekend to contact customer service open a case and see if they can fix it. But even if they get it working, the fact that I must use an Android App, and can’t use a desktop to manage it, makes me worry what will happen if it goes wrong or worse since it is app only what will happen when someone finds a vulnerability in the cloud service Linksys uses to connect back to the routers and start messing with them. I wish they would at least have some form of two factor and allow for more complex passwords, or at the very least once the initial setup is done disable the external web connection cloud service and only allow the app to work when I’m locally connected.
For everyone who got this to work I’m sure this will be the product, just hope you don’t have an issue that requires troubleshooting.
On the one working node I did test the speed and it seemed over wireless my EA9500 was more consistent and a bit faster from the same source and destination for a large file copy, but the Velop was close enough that most people wouldn’t notice anything. I also tested the single working node with some online gaming, both in the other Ethernet slot and wireless and I didn’t notice any performance impact. Since I can’t get all the nodes I have tested true load to report, but I’m sure others who have it working will, and I’m sure once I work with Linksys support I can get this system working it will be fine and provide me with spotless coverage. Just the whole having to use an app, and what I feel a limited and poorly designed app, and have it forced down on us with no backup connection has left a sour feeling and makes me worry about what will happen in the future if these devices go wonky, I won’t be able to troubleshoot, reset/fix as quickly as I could in the past and to be fair to Linksys this is a new product just out and they may fix the app and hopefully add other versions or allow access to the web service locally to manage them. Just know that if you are looking for a mesh like network this isn’t a bad router, but it seems to be crippled by an over simplified app, that is limited to two platforms and requires Internet connectivity to full function.

I found the product to be amazing, but the setup and App-only setup to be cumbersome and frustrating.

Does this dock work with iPhone XS MAX with Apple wireless charging SmartCase ?

It "works" but won't work well based on my experience with it so far.

It just doesn't produce enough power to charge or keep the phone charged/

Two questions not answered on the web page for this device. 1. Is this product backward compatible for use with g and n Wi-Fi devices? 2. How many wired Ethernet/LAN connections are there in the base unit? Thank you.

You can use this system as it is backward compatible as most systems today are.
Compatibility from Linksys' website...
802.11a
802.11g
802.11n
802.11ac
802.11b

Each node is the same. It has 2 ethernet ports on the back. If you use a wired setup such as in an office, then you can use these ports one input and one output. If you are using as a wifi connected setup only, I have found that only the 1st (connected) node works for plugging other things into it.

I literally purchased the Linksys AC3200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router 6 days ago for a 2600 sq. ft. home. Can I buy this system to SUPPLEMENT my new router or do I need to REPLACE my router with this system? GAMING IS IMPORTANT so no compromising please.

You can supplement your router with these, however, you would be adding a new network so-to-speak rather than creating a true mesh network.
You have a few options...
1. Return your AC3200 since you are within your 14 day window with Best Buy and get this system
2. Keep you AC3200 and set up the nodes as a separate network
3. Keep you AC3200 and set up the nodes as a bridge setting to expand your coverage range

How do I determine if I need one two or three satelites?

It all depends on the size of space you need to cover. Assume that if 3 covers a space of 4500 sq ft that 2 would cover 3000 sq ft. Thus, 1 would cover 1500 sq ft.
