Great Entry Level Office Printer

---SETUP---
The setup for the Brother DCP L2250 printer may require some help because of its bulky size and weight. It is recommended that you download the software via a computer instead of a mobile phone, so that’s what I did. Installation was a breeze and connecting the printer to my WiFi network was simple with the WPS button from my router and the WiFi button on the printer.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of this printer is fast for small business needs. I’m a teacher and sometimes the school’s printer fails or is being used by many of my coworkers. I took this printer to my classroom and I printed 50 pages, front and back in about 5 minutes (it can do 36 pages per minute when single sided). The printer didn’t slow down and all pages came out with a great crisp look.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations. I tried out the scanner mode on a wrinkled certificate award that I had received but valued. I fed it through the top auto-document feeder and it scanned my certificate in full color perfectly. I then printed a copy just to test out the side feeder using cardstock and the printer didn’t fail to impress. The only downside I found to the printer is that in the button panel itself, it only had buttons for up and down arrows to navigate. The problem is that frequently, you are asked to make options that are left and right of each other with arrows pointing up or down as your choices. This gets confusing and slows down productivity, but it just takes some time to relearn it’s quirks. I would have prefered a whole crosspad (up, down, left, right arrows) for easier menu navigation when not printing directly from a computer or mobile phone.

I highly recommend this product for people who own businesses and are looking for an all in one solution to their business needs. This printer uses toner instead of ink and can only print in black and white. If your business fits this criteria, it’s a great entry level office printer with a few odd choices for button options. Still, it won’t disappoint.

---SETUP---
The setup of this Bissell vacuum does require a philips screw driver to properly attach the handle. The screws are conveniently located by the handle with a taped bag. Additionally, all the other components aren’t as easy to figure out without reading the manual, but there is an online video you can watch if you prefer following directions while watching someone else.

The key feature of this vacuum is that is has a strong suction for pet hair. Additionally, one of my favorite features is the Febreze foam filter that leaves carpets smelling flowery. It also has a retractable cord for quick storage.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of this vacuum amazing. After my first use in a heavily trafficked area by pets, this vacuum didn’t disappoint. I could clearly see the difference between the clean and the unclean area. Having a visible transparent tank makes you see how filthy your carpet actually was. The additional tools helped tremendously with the stairwell, which is also heavily trafficked by pets. The pet eraser tool is easy enough to install and use, though I do wish that the hose it attaches to was longer or that the main unit was detachable. It makes it cumbersome to be lugging around the whole unit because the hose isn’t that long.

The product meets my expectations. The only downside to an otherwise amazing vacuum is that it doesn’t automatically move forward. Other vacuums I’ve used, when powered, automatically start moving forward making it easier to stride with them. This vacuum, however, will require that you push it where you need it to go. It does make vacuuming feel like work as opposed to others that just run on their own and you guide them.

The setup of this Shark Vacuum is simple and didn’t require any tools. All items click in place and fit perfectly where they need to go. It took me about 3 minutes to unpackage everything and connect what I needed for my first vacuum use.

The performance of this vacuum is some of the best I’ve seen. On carpets, it works as expected but what was most surprising to me was how an already mopped floor that looked clean still had a lot of hair and dirt left behind.

The setup of the G502 Hero Gaming Mouse is fast and simple. Out of the box it is plug and play, meaning it works simply by connecting it. It’s true power lies, however, in downloading the software from the website it suggests.

---FEATURES---
The key feature of this mouse is that you can program up to 11 buttons and determine how heavy or light it feels based on actual weights you can add or remove to the mouse itself. Additionally, if you have other Logitech devices, like the Logitech G513 keyboard, it can sync up to it for lighting effects. It also includes a shift button that can toggle other features temporarily until you let go. This is perfect for snipers who have a high DPI set for close encounters but need the extra precision on the fly.

The performance of this mouse is accurate and on point. After downloading the software, you can customize the DPI to your liking. It comes with 4 presets, which you can modify, or you can add additional presets and customize those, perfect for computers that must go from work mode to gaming mode in seconds. The software is easy to understand and the 11 programmable buttons are clearly identified for you on the software so you know which button you are modifying. It even allows you to download existing game profiles that are recommended, like Overwatch, PUBG, Call of Duty, and many others.

The product meets my expectations. I have owned well over 5 gaming mice in my gaming life time, but this is the first gaming mouse I own that features added weight. It makes a difference. I initially played several rounds of Overwatch and PUBG without the weights. Then, I added all 3.6g weights (18 grams total) and tested the mouse again. To me, the added weight gave me more security of when I wanted to stop the mouse instead of overshooting where I intended to aim. That, together with the quick DPI makes for one amazing on-the-fly customizable beast of a mouse.

The key features of this anti-virus program are that it has a small file size, won’t slow down your computer, and can prevent attacks from happening. There’s also a child protection safe-guard that can help you, as a parent, monitor what websites your child accesses or tries to access. This particular version also covers 5 devices, including PCs, Macs, or mobiles.

The performance of this anti-virus program was relatively quick. I scanned 4 TBs worth of information in about 1 hour. No threats were found. I currently have this software installed on my gaming computer (PC), my work computer (PC laptop), and my Mac Book Pro, which I use for video editing. Since the installation, I haven’t noticed any slowdown of any of my devices and they work just as efficient as before the installation. No threats have been found for over a year, since I previously also had the 2018 version.

The product meets my expectations. The installation is quick and simple. I really do like the autopilot mode, which allows you to install the software and then it takes over for you so that you won’t worry about anything. It will occasionally ask for your input on certain actions, but they don’t interfere with your system. One thing that I noticed was that the Mac version seems more limited than the PC versions. Additionally, I had the 2018 version installed and it wouldn’t expire until 180 more days. After entering the code for the 2019 update, instead of adding days to my 180, it reset my time to 365, effectively causing me to lose a little under a half a year’s worth of a subscription. That’s something to be aware of if you are planning to buy before your previous subscription is up.

The performance of this speaker is excellent for its size. The loudness of the speaker is about as loud as you would comfortable play audio in your own car. During my listening sessions, I didn’t hear the audio drop or lose connection with my bluetooth devices. During the playback of movies or podcasts, it works great. For music, as long as you aren’t listening to things with too much bass, it should work fine as well.

Take your music anywhere with this LG PK5 portable Bluetooth speaker. It provides up to 18 hours of premium sound per charge and turns anywhere into a nightclub with its LED party lighting.

The key feature of speaker is its portability handles, its light synchronization with the music’s beats, and a powerful bass in a smaller package. Additionally, in a 4 hours charge it touts 18 hours of use. It also has an IPX5 Rating out of 8, which means that it is protected from water splashes that come out of a nozzle (6.33mm). You can’t submerge it under water but if you carry it while wet after getting out of a pool or taking a shower, then it will be fine.

The performance of this speaker is very good for its price. I have a little over 1300 square feet of a classroom that I teach in. Since my classroom doesn’t have a dedicated speaker system, I took this little speaker. The entire class was able to hear audio for the video I was playing. I walked the furthest I could from where I had placed the speaker and could comfortably hear it as well. One problem sometimes with bluetooth speakers is that they don’t sync up well with video files when characters are speaking. However, that was not an issue with this speaker, as I tested it with music, online video services like Netflix and Hulu, and phone games like Clash Royale. In all instances, the video was properly synced up with the audio.

The product meets my expectations. I enjoy the fact that the audio can get loud without distorting, as was the case when I played songs by System of a Down at full blast. I played around with the enhanced bass button and enjoyed music even more. For video content, there’s a clear voice button that makes the voices of people speaking sound better, and it works. If your phone has Siri (or other voice command prompt AI), there's a dedicated button to activate it. The same button can be used to accept calls, which if you’re listening to music, it will mute your music and switch to clear audio for calls. The caller was able to hear me clearly speaking into the speaker at about 5 feet distance.

The price for the speaker in terms of value is competitive for other speakers in the same category. This one is a medium in a series of LG PK speakers (the others being the PK 3 and the PK 7). For a classroom or a small outdoor party, it would suffice in loudness.

The key feature of this keyboard is its full customization options from the software you download. You can customize the color of your keys, the pattern you want them to light up, or when you want them to be on or off. Additionally, and more importantly, you can customize the bindings of your keys and have more than enough profiles for different gaming styles. It also comes with a wrist rest pad, which can be connected to the keyboard itself and the position of how far or close it is to the keyboard can be customized as well, as it has magnetic grips.

---PERFORMANCE---
The performance of this keyboard is phenomenal. The keys feel slightly more spaced, so it is easier to press the key you intended instead of accidentally pressing a different key. Being able to customize my keys was great and easy with the OP software. Since I play many genres of games, I created 3 different profiles, one for adventure games, one for multiplayer games, and one for FPS games. Switching between all of them was not complicated.

---EXPECTATIONS---
The product meets my expectations. If you are entering the world of gaming keyboards, you must know that some keyboards make a clicky noise when pressing the keys. Though this keyboard is labeled as a no click keyboard, it is still louder than your average non-gaming keyboard. However, that noise didn’t bother me as I game with headphones on. Other than that, everything works as good or better than expected.

The keyboard feels the asking price, as it is heavy, sturdy, and responsive. Quality is evident and the included wrist rest pad that connects to the keyboard makes it feel more valuable.

The key feature of this mouse is that it is specifically for gaming and customizable. Though this mouse only has 5 buttons, that’s more than enough for most games and makes the mouse less cluttered. The software is some of the friendliest for gaming devices and it’s easy to understand and use. There’s a dedicated profile button that allows you to switch between 3 profiles, perfect to make on the fly strategy changes.

The performance of this mouse is excellent. Having the mouse constantly connected to your PC allows you to never lose your aim and always hit your intended target. I tried this mouse with first person shooters and it was pretty accurate. In games like PUBG, the speed of your aim is crucial and I created two profiles for that game, one for third person mode and first person mode. Changing between these on the fly made me feel more competitive and as if I was more in control of my gaming results.

---APPROVAL---
I highly recommend this product for gamers who want their focus on gaming and not the bells and whistles or hardware. Being a wired mouse ensures you always have power on the device and being able to customize the DPI to your liking, both, horizontally and vertically, really gives you the specific control you seek. If your gaming rig is also your work computer, consider reserving a 3rd profile for work-related mouse activities.

The performance of this gaming mouse was superb. I didn’t notice any lag compared to my wired mouse. Though you only have 6 buttons compared to other gaming mice, the options you have to customize it’s six buttons are very helpful, especially if you play multiple genres of games. Rarely do you end up needing more than the six buttons you have to work with.

The product meets my expectations. It kept me competitives in FPS games like Overwatch and Hunt: Showdown as well as third person shooters like Fortnite and PUBG. If you are going to buy this mouse, keep in mind that it is strictly a wireless mouse, as there is no option for it to be wired. However, the long lasting use on one battery should keep you gaming for a couple of weeks.

Destiny is the only console game that has held its replay-ability over the last two year AND STILL going strong. Destiny is the flagship games for consoles. It is by far, a MUST HAVE for ANY console player. I'm fixing to buy this as a gift and a few more for starting friends. The game is honestly the best game to come home to every night.
There is so much to do in Destiny, it'll seem overwhelming at first. The economy is booming, so many quests, loot, strikes, raids, bosses, prisons, etc. Bungie is an amazing developing company that is community focused and dedicated to amaze the players. The YouTube and Twitch community is outstanding and never ceases to amaze me. Recently, the Destiny community raised over $500k to St. Judes hospital. The game is thriving like never before. Make memories, make friends, have fun.

Keep your iPhone XS/X functional with this Speck Presidio Pro case. The exterior is made from polycarbonate to withstand the effects of wear and tear, and its antimicrobial treatment prevents bacteria from growing on it. The raised bezel on this Speck Presidio Pro case protects your phone's screen if it lands facedown.
Do popsockets stick to this case?
This case has a flat, smooth surface. It depends on the glue that the comes with the pop socket. If your concern was a flat, smooth surface, it won't be an issue.

The PRO headset from Logitech G is designed with and for esports pros. Aluminum forks, steel headband, and memory foam and premium leatherette head and ear pads keep you comfortable through marathon training and competition sessions. Pro-G 50mm drivers deliver incredibly accurate audio with improved bass response. The advanced USB DAC has a five-band onboard EQ that can be programmed via G HUB software with settings from your favorite esports pros.

Does this work for Xbox? The older version did
They do work with Xbox because of the included auxiliary cable. However, you won't be able to take advantage of the customization EQ options from a PC. That being said, if you have an Xbox and Dolby Atmos, then you are in for quite an experience.

Take control of your gaming experience with this Logitech Astro USB controller. The highly durable construction is great for extended sessions, and the fully customizable layout lets you remap each button to mimic any console configuration. This Logitech Astro USB controller has extra-sensitive triggers that respond seamlessly without having to depress them fully.
What is this?
If you've ever heard of an Xbox One Elite Controller, this is the Playstation counterpart made by Astro. You can swap out the DPAD and the left thumbstick to make it look and feel like an Xbox One controller. Additionally, it has two extra buttons below the controller which you can program to mimic a two of the face buttons.

Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.
I need a web cam for a presentation for a a showing on Facebook. The web cam will be on a screen from a projector going to Facebook live. Would this be the web cam to get or should I get a different one?
If your camera will be aiming at a screen projector, then make sure that the room is dark and that the lighting in your room doesn't change much change much. Use the software to turn off the automatic focus features and as long as people don't walk in front of the camera, it should be fine. Though this is possible, it is not the ideal way to show something on facebook that requires people to look at what's being projected. Might I suggest you look into OBS, a free streaming software. With OBS, you should have the ability to stream to FACEBOOK and switch back and forth between the WebCam feed and the presentation, meaning that the people watching on Facebook will see the clearest presentation because it's as if they were there in the same room with you. Depending on how much time you have to learn OBS, you may have to use the Webcam the way you want for now, but try OBS for a future presentation. You will love it.

Can I use an external microphone with this camera? If so can you tell me how?
I use it with OBS and in that software, you can use the camera but change to a different microphone. All you have to do is mute the camera's microphone (it the camera settings in OBS, you'll have that option) and plug the microphone you want to use and make sure it isn't muted.
