Nice smart dimmer switch
on May 11, 2017
Posted by: Terry
Although I'm fully capable of wiring up most electrical products, this item was very easy to install, and I'm confident that those with less experience could handle it.
The interface is very nice and the iPhone app works great. I like that I can now control my lights from anywhere and can adjust the lights from the couch.
I would like to see Wemo add in a delay off setting into the long press of the actual switch.

Bring bold color to your gaming hobby with this Razer Kraken analog headset. Thick padding and a lightweight construction make it ideal for extended wear, and the fully retractable microphone lets you adjust the device to meet your needs. This Razer Kraken analog headset has a long cable that provides flexibility of movement as you play.
Posted by: Terry
Overall, these are a great set of headphones. The sound quality is really good for units at this price point and the extra long cable gives plenty of room to move around when tethered to a computer. The bright green can almost light up the room, but that doesn't take away from fit and function. They are very comfortable and capable of sustaining many hours of wear and gameplay. I haven't gotten much of a chance to test the microphone, but initial thoughts are that it is sufficient.
A friend and coworker are considering picking up a pair based on my suggestion and overall feedback.

Good for quick cleanup but no replacement to Shark
on April 12, 2017
Posted by: Terry
While I enjoyed the light-weight and easy maneuvering that this unit provides, I did not find that it picked up debris from the hard surfaces or carpeted areas that my three-year-old tends to leave in his path. I attempted to clean my entire first floor (roughly 800 sq. ft.) and was unable to satisfactorily complete the task before the battery ran out. I finally grabbed my Shark Rocket corded vac to finish the job.
I did enjoy the quickness of switching from floor to handheld to clean stairs and upholstery. The unit is also much quieter than you would expect from a vacuum cleaner. I will continue to use the Dyson for quick cleanups, but stick to the Shark for more detailed cleaning.

Great headphones for the active lifestyle
on February 9, 2017
Posted by: Terry
It seemed a little odd to me at first...monitoring my heart rate through the ear, but its actually pretty cool. The sound quality is great, the fit is really good (they don't fall out), and the "wireless" nature keeps me from accidentally catching the wire and ripping them from my ears (something I am far too familiar with).
So far, I'm a fan of these neat earbuds.

Finally...realistic WiFi speeds thoughout the home
on January 19, 2017
Posted by: Terry
I have this installed in my parents house because the WiFi that is built in to their modem/router is, well, garbage. They live in a 1600 sq. ft. ranch with a fairly open layout. However, even with the router centralized in the house, the WiFi speeds degraded immensely at the corners of the house, and using it on the patio or at the fire pit in the back yard was clearly too much to ask for. By placing these nodes throughout the house, the speeds have increased...a lot! We are now able to use all of our devices throughout the house, in the backyard, and in the basement, which works well for when my toddler wants to FaceTime his nana and she is in the basement "crafting".
I like that the nodes are slim, modern-looking, and effectively blend away on a side table. Linksys has once again, crafted another superb product.

Charging solution for Apple-wearers
on January 4, 2017
Posted by: Terry
There are many portable chargers on the market that are all designed to recharge our portable devices when we are away from a wall outlet, but this is the only solution that also adds the ability to wirelessly charge the Apple Watch. Although I rarely wear my Apple Watch below 40-50% per day, having the peace-of-mind of knowing that this power pack could recharge it is a nice feeling. The Watch clings to the charging pad nicely and begins charging almost immediately. The pack has a button that displays (using 4 inline LEDS) the charge status of the power pack, so you always know how much power the unit has left. What's especially nice is that you can recharge the Apple Watch and another USB connected device simultaneously. With its 6700mAH of capacity, that equals up to three recharges on an iPhone or up to eight on the Watch. The chip inside the unit automatically detects when a device is connected and initiates or suspends charging without having to push a button or turn the unit off.
If I had one gripe about this unit, given it's primary design and market being for Apple Watch and iPhone users, is that the power pack charges via micro USB and not via Apple's Lightning port. The utilization of a Lightning port would have been more convenient in my eyes as it would have meant that the user would be ensured that he/she would have the correct cable to plug into their iPhone (5 or later device). Even still, micro-USB is extremely prominent in the market and found on many devices (hint, hint Apple; on second thought, don't change your connection again...), therefore, I see no reason to deduct any points for such a small gripe.

Unique hair drier
on January 4, 2017
Posted by: Terry
This product was given to my wife for a more thorough review, as she is much more likely to use it than I am given her long hair.
She was intrigued by the design and said that although much better and more comfortable to hold than a typical drier, did take a few moments to get used to the balance. The unit is nicely balanced, but many years of using the "typical" hair drier forced her to adjust her grip. I was amazed at how quiet the unit is given the amount of air it moves. She was amazed at how fast she was able to dry her hair and without really turning the heat up (she doesn't like high heat for fear of damaging her hair).
The magnetic attachments are a nice addition and allow for quick, seamless changes without having to align tabs or slots or any other kind of attachment mechanisms.
Overall, although the price-point on such a unit is quite high, the overall build quality coupled with the minimal noise this drier makes and yet dries hair faster than other units makes this a fantastic product, particularly for a person that uses one everyday.

Nice accessories, decent overal
on November 28, 2016
Posted by: Terry
This unit works alongside of another unit that I have that only trims to 5mm. I like that unit because it is rock solid and very easy to adjust, however, if I want to keep my beard longer, it's not an option. This unit allows me many more (longer) hair lengths.
Things I like:
Lots of accessories and a storage bag to keep everything in
Built-in, rechargeable battery

Think I DON'T like:
The way the plastic combs attach makes them easy to bend and flex, which could result in shorter length that desired
No charging stand, so unit just sits on counter with cord hanging from it (more of a personal preference based on units I've owned in the past)

Great router to help uVerse connection
on November 6, 2016
Posted by: Terry
With 18Mbps as the "fastest" AT&T offers in my area, I love that this router seems to deliver that power to each of my many connected devices throughout the house as if nothing else is connected. There was some setup involved to setup the uVerse Gateway to bridge the connection, but there are plenty of How-To's online to do that.
Highly recommend!

Great vacuum for all-around cleaning
on September 28, 2016
Posted by: Terry
Let me preface this by saying that I already own a high quality, German-made canister vacuum that has served me very well over the years. To qualify this Shark Rocket as a great unit, I would have to be convinced that it could clean better than canister vac could. Here are my thoughts:
Assembly:
The Shark vac was very easy to assemble. Upon opening the box, the basic idea is install the floor unit into the wand and insert the power unit into the top of the wand. NO TOOLS REQUIRED! Of course, the unit is top-heavy, so you must unhook the power unit and set it on the base or hang it from the wall (with the included wall mount) while not in use.

Of course, the unit is top-heavy, so you must unhook the power unit and set it on the base or hang it from the wall (with the included wall mount) while not in use.
Use:
Running the unit is pretty straightforward. Turn on the switch to one of the two speed settings (1 for bare floors and rugs, 2 for high-pile carpet) and sweep the floors as you normally would. I liked that the unit basically pulled itself along on carpet and rugs which made it easier to control. The unit is a little top heavy in the hand and my wife complained that during a long cleaning (the entire downstairs for instance) that her arm became I tired. Personally, I have not had this happen to me. The unit was much easier to push and pull that my canister vacuum is.

Accessories:
This particular model included a slew of attachments:
- Convertible crevice/brush tool
- Dedicated upholstery tool
- Convertible upholstery/brush tool
- Under appliance/under furniture tool - great for cleaning the nastiness under the couch
- Clip to mount two attachments to the stick
- Accessory storage bag

Cleaning:
For my test, I cleaned a 5' x 8' rug in our kitchen. FIRST, I thoroughly cleaned the rug with my usual canister vacuum. Then I used the Shark twice, first on speed 1 and then again on speed 2, emptying the cup after both times to see the difference. I think the attached images speak for themselves... A fair amount of dirt and debris was lifted from the carpet on the first pass with the Shark (after already "cleaning" it with my canister vac). Upon switching to speed 2, it is clear to see that much more is pulled out of the carpet telling me that my expensive canister hasn't been cleaning "as good" as I had hoped. Emptying the dust cup was easy to do; not quite as easy as some Dysons I have used (A minor detail), but easy nonetheless.

Final thoughts:
Overall, I am very pleased with this unit. I like how easy it is to maneuver through the house and around furniture and it cleans better than my MUCH more expensive German-made canister vacuum. The cord on the Shark is about 8' longer than my canister which allows me to clean almost my entire first floor without having to unplug the unit. It is great from everything to quick clean-ups (I have a 3-year-old) to full-on cleaning. The additional accessories and on-board storage are great, although I find that storing the accessories on the unit did cause them to get in the way at times. I will probably just keep them in the storage bag and get them out when I need them. I like that the filters are washable so that I don't have to purchase new ones every year (as I have had to do with my previous canister vac). I can't say enough good things about this vacuum. Great cleaning. Great price. Great product!
