Starter Tracker Watch
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup of the Epson ProSense 17 watch is not difficult but if could be a little bit friendlier. I find it hard to remember the last time I opened a tech product with a rechargeable battery that didn’t come pre-charged. You have to wait for the watch to charge out of the box, so don’t expect to open it and test it out right away. Upon opening it, you will find a clip that can easily be connected to the watch to charge. It is not a universal connection, so you must buy their proprietary cable if you ever lose it.
The key feature of this calorie/exercise tracker is that is includes its own built in gps and is very precise. It has many options and features that health enthusiasts will appreciate and can take advantage of, such as the watch vibrating after a mile has been completed. However, the display of the watch is not in color. It only offers a green background with black letters.
The performance of this watch good. A device like this one, though, can only be as good as the app that complements it. Upon setting it up, I did struggle to get it to sync up with the appropriate time on my cellphone. I had chosen the correct time zone and even the app showed the correct time, but the watch wasn’t syncing up and was 6 hours and a few minutes behind. I solved the problem by updating it via GPS straight from the watch, without using the app. When using it to work out, though, it was very accurate. I went running around the park wearing it on my non-dominant hand (left) while wearing a different brand on the right hand. Both measured the # of steps accurately and chimed at the mile marks at about the same time.
The Epson ProSense 17 marginally meets my expectations. Its major competitor offers detachable faceplates; this one doesn’t. You are committed to the strap and color, so take that into consideration when making your purchase. The watch does look unisex, but the strap is rather narrow so it might look awkward on bigger wrists. Other fitness trackers update wirelessly, so you can update your watch on the go. For this one, you have to update the watch while having it connected to the charging cable. Also, options are good, but too many options get convoluted quickly. This watch itself has 5 buttons and those are used to start/stop things or navigate through menus. The menus could be reworked to be more user friendly. The screen itself isn’t a touch screen, so the buttons are your only option to navigate it’s many options.
The price for the Epson ProSense 17 in terms of value is on par with other competitors.
I highly recommend this product for people who are on a strict budget for a fitness watch tracker or for people who don’t plan on engaging with an active community. The app of the watch allows you to link with other existing communities and you can choose from some of the more popular communities like Map My Ride, but that makes everyone more divided instead of having a dedicated community from within the app itself. It’s a great starter watch for those new to a fitness tracker.

For Daily Use
on November 27, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup for the Blendtec Blender was a breeze. Upon opening the box, I was surprised to have only 3 components: the base housing (where the motor is), the jar, and the lid. The blade is permanently attached to the jar, preventing any leakage and facilitating the cleaning process. Everything was plug and play.
The key feature of this blender is that it is multifunctional. It has several instant-press modes such as a smoothie button. The jar itself is pre-measured by cups, or milliliters. An included recipe book shows you how to make more recipes and use the blender to its fullest potential. Prior to this review, I made 2 fruit smoothies, one with frozen fruit and the other with fresh fruit. On both occasions, I pressed the smoothie button and everything was blended into a thick and savory smoothie. With the fresh fruit, I included 1 banana, 8 strawberries, 1 cup of vanilla soy milk, and 2 cups of ice. This blender has no problems blending it all in about 1 minute and a half. Next, I made a salsa to eat with some corn chips and the blender did it’s job as expected. Finally, I tried some dry vegetables to test it out as a juicer. Everything does get blended well enough to drink it but I had to use a strainer to separate the small solid pieces from the liquefied pulp, though there weren’t that many.
The performance of this blender is above par. Having so many speed choices, instant button settings, and a motor as strong as the one housed in the base will make you feel like you have a blender akin to those in yogurt vendor stores.
The blender surpasses my expectations. It has replaced a previous smaller blender (of an acrobatic brand) that I used to us for making my morning smoothies. The fact that the jar has a wide opening with flat walls (as opposed to a small opening with round walls that have lined ridges on the inside) make the cleaning so much easier. I have large hands and inserting my hand in a smaller container isn’t easy. Also, other brands whose jars have lined ridges on the inside hurt when washing them by hand.
The price for the vacuum in terms of value is worth it if you are going to use it daily.
I highly recommend this product for health conscious people who plan on using a blender daily as part of their routine. I would also recommend this for people with large hands, as cleaning feels great. I would even go as far as recommending this blender for someone who wants to start a small smoothie business. It’s that powerful and it’s that good.

Great Introductions to Editing
on November 17, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The installation of Adobe Elements was a breeze. The box includes two DVDs but my Mac and Windows PC don’t have disc drives. Instructions were included for downloading the software without needing the DVDs. On the back of the DVD sleeves, though, you will find the serial #s needed for the activation of the product.
The key feature of this software is that it bundles the Adobe Photoshop Elements (for editing pictures) and the Premiere Elements (for editing video). Both of the applications include tutorials that are extremely helpful for someone who hasn’t tried editing software before. You can choose from 4 different starting guides on both and they are eLive, Quick Guide, Guided, and Expert. eLive will give you ideas found on the internet on what you can do with your photos or video. QuickGuide allows you to edit your photos or video with preset settings, usually adjusting sliders until you find something that you like and save your project. Guided is for when you are ready for a slightly more in depth experience. It will teach you step by step what to look for when editing but allow you to make the changes you want to make. Expert mode removes all restrictions and allows you to use all tools with no guidance.
The performance of the software was fast. For the Photoshop Elements, at no point did my computer slow down. However, I exceed the minimum and recommended requirements for the software. I did use this product on the MAC only because it's what I use for editing the most. Coming from Apple’s editing software, I had to relearn a few keyboard shortcuts but hovering the mouse over what you want to do will tell you what they are. I didn’t have a problem saving any of my files and the guides were a great help for learning what the tools do. For the Premiere Elements, I edited some video footage I had recorded of video gameplay. I was able to add transitions and overlays in a cinch. Again, the guided tabs are a great help for getting exactly what I wanted while being helped along the way and not having to guess what each tool does. Overall, the programs worked without slowing down the computer or my workspace.
The software meets my expectations. In a matter of minutes, I was able to take a vacation picture that was blurry and dull in color and give it a little more vibrance. An amazing tool that you can use is called the Before and After image, allowing you to see the original file vs. your edited file before finalizing your work. It makes things easier to determine if you want to keep the changes or not.
The price PSE2018 in terms of value is fair. Other programs may cost twice as much but this will be helpful for the hobbyist who wants to add a new touch to his/her photos or videos without things getting too complicated.
I highly recommend this product for people who are venturing into the editing world for the first time and want to see if they can learn the tools. The guided tabs make a great photo/video editor expert out of anyone and your edits will look like something you will want to show off. New YouTubers or streamers will be able to use Photoshop Elements to make great thumbnails and Premier Elements for editing their video files with cool intros and transitions.

Affordable, Enjoyable, Almost Perfect
on November 13, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup for the headphones was simple enough. I had to just hold a square button and the bluetooth turned on. My phone recognized it in about 2 seconds and it is named something recognizable instead of model numbers that are hard to identify.
The key feature of these headphones is that they are meant for active users and are sweat resistant. Also, an subtle but very useful clip is attached to the middle of the cord that connects both ear buds. This clip is meant for you to clip is to your shirt in case you forget that you have them hanging around your neck and don’t feel them slip off. The clip prevents them from falling to the floor or getting lost. In my case, I had forgotten they were on my neck and went to bed with them. The earbuds stayed on my shirt all night thanks to the clip and didn’t get lost.
The performance of these headphones is superb. One of the biggest problems I encounter with bluetooth headsets is that they may occasionally have a delayed audio when listening to streamed shows or when using them while playing video games. These don’t have that delayed audio problem. They sound great with streamed shows, music, or mobile games. On the music side of things, I could hear deep bass sounds without any distortion. The same can be said when using them to answer a phone call. On my end, I can hear people clearly and on their end, they had no idea I was speaking with them via a pair of bluetooth headsets.
The headphones meet my expectations. The initial gel buds that it came with were a little too thick for my ears. However, additional gel buds were provided and I was able to switch over to some smaller ones. I did find it occasionally uncomfortable trying to put on the earphones, as they are in-ear headphones. I had to push so that it would stay in my ear without falling off but doing that caused a vacuum of air to push into my ear as well and caused slight discomfort. Other similar pair of headphones that I own do not have that discomfort when putting them on. For that reason, I deduct one star.
The price of the headphones in terms of value is competitive compared to other brands in the market.
I highly recommend this product for people who have an active lifestyle and enjoy listening to their audio collection while on the run...literally.

Not All Stick Vacuums Are Created Equal
on November 8, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup of the Hoover React vacuum was quick and painless. All the connectors are clearly labeled making it easy to skip the instruction booklet if you deem it so.
The key feature of this vacuum is that it has a sensor that determines the type of floor you are using it on. It will determine the power of the suction needed based on whether it is being used on a hard surface or a soft one, like carpet. Another good feature is the quick-charging battery. It comes pre-charged, but takes only 3 hours to charge for a long period of use. As per the booklet, the battery shouldn’t experience draining with multiple charges. A third useful feature is the ability to clean quick messes by just holding the trigger down instead of double-clicking, so as to only use it for about 10 seconds or less.
The performance of this vacuum is good. The suction is powerful on both, carpet and on hard floor surface. It was able to pick up pet hair, human hair, debris, and dead insects that were under the bed. It has front lights that help when vacuuming in dark areas like under a couch to see if you missed a spot. Compared to a different stick vacuum, this one gave me more resistance when moving the vacuum forward. The vacuuming motion wasn’t a smooth experience. Instead, it felt as if i was constantly pushing the vacuum forward and pulling it with more force than expected as opposed to letting it glide back and forth. The wheels didn’t move forward automatically. As a result, I am deducting 1 star.
The vacuum meets my expectations but does disappoint in the fact that I couldn’t get it to glide and instead was met with resistance. I did enjoy the ease of dumping the debris with one click of a button. The filter needs to be rinsed after every 4-6 uses, but the dirt container is larger than normal for a stick vacuum.
The price for the vacuum in terms of value is acceptable. It has many tools that can greatly expand its use. It can also convert into a hand vacuum, making it ideal to have around when washing a car.
I highly recommend this product for people who want to try a stick vacuum that is powerful but not overly complicated. With automatic sensors and only 1 button to worry about, this is a great entry into the stick vacuum mode. It is also perfect for small homes or college dorms where storage space is limited.

Fast Charging Entry Level Trimmer
on November 2, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The Philips Norelco Multigroom 5000 Trimmer comes well priced for an entry level electric trimmer and removes many of the intricacies of a pricier model.
To begin with, the trimmer doesn’t come pre-charged, but on the box it said that a 5 minute charge would suffice for one trim. I plugged it in and set a timer for 5 minutes to test the truth of this. Sure enough, the power was sufficient enough for me to have it on for a full 10 minutes.
This trimmer doesn’t have the option to adjust the height of the plastic length add on. Instead, it comes with various heads with pre-selected sizes. Though this is good for someone who want to ease into this type of trimming, it seems a bit overwhelming at first. However, if you start testing them from the largest available size to the smallest, you can gauge how much of length from your beard you will shave off.
Since I only wanted to trim my beard slightly, I chose the 12mm option and began. Out of the box, I needed to change blades for the wider add ons. It’s not difficult to change blades, you just have to push it upwards with your thumb with a little force and it will pop out. I installed the new blade and the 12mm add on. The tirm turned out nicer than I expected. I then removed the add-on and tested the blades without add ons to see how close of a shave I could get around my beard and cheek areas. It won’t give you a clean shave, but it will trim down enough to go to work with a clean look.
With the same charge, I switched out the blade and installed the nose trimmer. The nose trimmer worked as expected and I wasn’t disappointed.
I give this product 3 out of 5 stars, as changing the blades will be necessary if you have multiple grooming needs and it can become cumbersome. The pouch it comes with to store everything is very plain and just has everything piled up into one place. It’s not a bad trimmer, but a great entry level one. This is a perfect trimmer to have in a travel suitcase on the ready or for college students with limited space for storage.

Wireless is the New Freedom
on October 20, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup for the Sony 1000X Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones can be a tiny bit confusing. However, a nice picture diagram is included to help facilitate the process. After you have taken out the pair of headphones, you need to insert them into the case for them to power on. The case works like a portable battery for the headphones and a carrying case at the same time. They will power on and will be discoverable in your mobile device. I tested these on an iPhone and the phone recognized that the Sony Headphones App needed to be downloaded for proper installation. I proceeded to do so after it prompted me to.
The key feature of these headphones is that they are truly wireless. There is no connecting wires between the two ear pods. This makes them ideal for working out without having to worry about accidentally pulling on a wire. I wore them while jogging, doing household chores, and walking about without them falling off once. The noise canceling feature work fine, though not the best I’ve used. I was able to use things like a blender and a vacuum cleaner without disturbing my music. I could, however, hear my voice. You have the option to optimize the noise canceling features in the app that you download.
The performance of these headphones are great. They are stereo headphones, so you won’t hear the deeper bases produced by headphones that fully cover the ear for a similar price, but the convenience of not having something heavy on your ears is worth it. Bass and deep sounds still sound great. This is especially true when you turn on the noise canceling feature that eliminate most ambient sound around you, helping you focus and immerse deeper in your entertainment of choice.
The headphones meets my expectations. I did encounter a common problem amongst bluetooth headphones and mobile gaming. There seems to be a delay in audio when playing video games on your mobile device. I tested this with Clash Royale and with Geometry Dash, the latter which is crucial for there to be no delay in audio to be successful. For that reason, I deduct one star. This problem doesn’t exist when listening to music or watching your favorite streaming show from popular streaming services. If mobile gaming isn’t your scene, then these are a great pair of headphones.
The price for Sony 1000X headphones in terms of value may look steep at first, but you must use them to believe how good they sound and how convenient their size and wire-free status can be. Keep in mind that included in the package is a portable rechargable battery for the headphones that doubles up as a carrying case. There are also plenty of options for various sizes of ear holes.
I highly recommend this product for people who are tired of having wires in the face or arms while exercising or doing household chores. If you like listening to music or watching TV shows while on a bed, there won’t be much of a hindrance or discomfort, thanks to the unique design and smallness of it. These headphones pack a lot of power in a tiny package.

Quality Without Breaking Bank
on October 20, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup for the Hisense 55H9D model requires two people. The box has 4 hinges at the bottom that must be unclipped for easy removal. After taking it out of the box, you will see two special handles that must be used to carry the TV with the assistance of a second person. These must be removed with a Philips screw driver if you plan on mounting it on a wall or TV stand with mount. Otherwise, you can leave them on if you plan on using the provided TV stand base. The only 2 cables you need are the TV plug, which is surprisingly a two prong connection and rather unobtrusive, and an HDMI 2.0 cable.
The key feature of this Hisense TV is the HDR feature and 4K capabilities. Watching content in 4K is as easy as plug and play. Watching content in HDR requires navigation of several menu options. This quickly became a frustrating moment for a new-comer to 4K and HDR, but a quick search of a YouTube video explained the basics necessary to understand where to navigate to to get the best features of HDR. To save you the trouble, you have to press the menu button on the remote control, then settings, then picture, then go down to HDMI 2.0 format and change that option from standard to enhanced format.
The performance of this TV is stunning. Even before I figured out how to change from standard HDR to enhanced HDR I could see the jump from 1080P to 4K. Adding the HDR effect makes the colors look more natural and feel more realistic. The HDR in this TV is HDR-10, which is compatible with the Xbox One S and the upcoming Xbox One X. That being said, HDR gaming is playing on a whole different level. The remote control has an extremely useful PICTURE button that allows you to switch from various kinds of HDR pre-setups, one of which includes HDR gaming which provides you with low input lag.
The Hisense TV exceeds my expectations and has quickly made a name for itself in my household. Although you can watch content with lights on, you do start to lose quality of the image the brighter the room, but the aforementioned picture button can help with that.
The price for the TV in terms of value is great for those looking to upgrade to a stunning image. Hisense may not be widely known yet, but I can see it being in many households soon because of it’s quality for price value.
I highly recommend this product for people who want to upgrade to a 4K HDR tv without breaking the bank. More so if you have an Xbox One S or if you plan on buying the Xbox One X. If gaming isn’t your scene, then I’d still recommend the TV if you love streaming your content, as this is a smart TV with dedicated buttons for Vudu, Fandango NOW, YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon. Those services work flawlessly straight from the TV and you wouldn’t need to install anything additional to cast to your TV.

Office or College Work Ready
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup for this computer was a breeze. It has an HDMI cable that connected to my monitor with no hitches. I started a timer from the moment I turned on the computer until I finished all the basic first-time setup procedures. That took 6 minutes, 58 seconds. After all the updates, I turned it off, waited a minute, then turned on the computer to test how fast I could start using the computer. It takes 1 minute and 27 seconds to boot up and be ready to use.
Some key features of this computer is its AMD Ryzen 5 processor for fast data handling, its 8GB RAM, and its 1TB hard drive. It also comes with Windows 10 installed. All of this works together to create a perfect office computer. There are 6 USB ports, 4 of which are 3.0. Also, it has a now rare disk drive for playback of media.
The performance of this PC is good for it’s intended purpose. It was able to handle flawlessly all the tasks I threw at it for office work. My day job is being a teacher. So, we often work with the Google Suite and Microsoft Office. It was able to open programs like these with speediness and have multiple programs open at once without slowing my work flow. Gamewise, you might think that this can handle video games because of the AMD processor. To clarify, this isn’t a gaming computer, but it was able to handle newer 2D side scrolling games like Sundered.
The PC meets my expectations. Good for what it was meant to do, which was to be a fast, reliable office computer.
The price for the PC in terms of value is worth it if you want something reliable in your workspace. It’s footprint is medium size compared to other existing tower PCs, but not so large that it’s overbearing.
I highly recommend this product for people who are looking to be productive with Microsoft or Google Suites. It’s ideal for small businesses or for college students.

Entry Level Projector at a Comfortable Price
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: Trobadour
from Hidalgo, TX
The setup for the PowerLite Home Cinema 1060 1080P 3LCD Projector was simple. It has a kickstand to adjust the height of the projector as needed and all the cable connectors are neatly labeled so as to make it easy to know what to connect where.
One of the features of this projector is the ability to project in 1080P up to a size of 300 inches on top of a 3100 lumen brightness. The lumen # determines how clear a picture you can see when the room isn’t fully dark. This has a good lumen for rooms that aren’t completely dark.
The performance of this projector was great. Picture-wise, the image of both, streamed media and blu ray movies look amazing. The crystal clear picture of the projector will make you feel like you are in an actual cinema. One area where this projector lacks is the adjustment of the screen size. It projects the screen in a large area, so that’s not the issue. The issue is how small the size of the screen can become. There’s a lever that you can swivel to adjust the screen size and reduce it. However, the adjustment available is lacking compared to other Epson projectors. If you plan on buying this, you need to see how big the screen projects before you determine where to install it permanently. It is not ideal for homes with small rooms or room space. It is perfect for outdoor use or long-spaced rooms.
The projector meets my expectations. Because it doesn’t allow you to downsize the screen for smaller rooms, I deduct one star from an otherwise exceptional experience with it. It is somewhat loud if you sit close to the projector but if you install it on the ceiling or sit away from it, you shouldn’t notice it as much.
The price for the projector in terms of value is comfortable enough for an entry level projector. You are getting a good image and a cinema-like experience at a reasonable price.
I highly recommend this product for people who have long room space or for those who want to use this projector as an outdoor movie projector. Also, if you have the ability to move the location, it would be ideal for you to have this. It’s small enough that you can use it as a portable projector for presentations.

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 head in the game with this Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 audio system. The SuperAmp audio controller is compatible with the PlayStation 4 Pro and standard, and the headset can be used alone with any 3.5mm jack. This Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 audio system brings comfort and audio quality together for long nights of action.
Will the black ps4 version of the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 with SuperAmp work the same on the Xbox One?
The Xbox controller has an auxiliary port. You can connect the headset using that auxiliary port directly without the Super AMP. The sound will come through and work.

Is It easy to connect for streaming on OBS?
Yes, it is. I use OBS and an ELGATO when capturing footage from my PS4. The problem I have when I connect a headset is that the audio cuts off and won't be heard by OBS. Through the Super Amp, the PS4 audio will come to your headset but the PS4 will still send out audio to the ELGATO. It's a neat solution to that problem, if you are willing to put up with all the cables that you will have to run (but that are all included).

Choose this NETGEAR router and receive high level wireless security, the ability to share photos, music and more, and a way to keep track of your kids’ activity online. Plus, with easy installation for tablets, smartphones and computers, you’ll be able to start enjoying Wi-Fi throughout your home right away.
Is it possible to have a separate modem for gaming on a PS4 system, than the modem that I already have set up for the rest of the household? I have satellite Internet service, and unfortunately there is considerable lag.
If you mean to have 2 modems by two different companies, yes, that is possible. However, this is a modem that works only for one ISP at a time. You can plug a router to it, but it wouldn't solve the issue of the lag that happens when gaming via satellite internet. That is a persistent issue that can't be solved because of the way that the internet arrives to your location. The only solution would be to change to a non-satellite ISP. I hope there is one in your area.

Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
Is the bulb soft/warm white or bright/daylight white?
The light looks soft warm yellow. All things in my room have a yellow tint now.

No. As long as you remember the email and password that you registered your product to, you can reinstall the software to any new computer that you purchase.

So I am new to this. I bought Microsoft Outlook home school and office and it was a one time purchase. Not a one year or two year. My thoughts were I don’t have to renew it all the time that’s why I paid more
That's correct. So long as what you bought isn't the Office 365 service, then you own this software forever. Compatibility updates are included, but when 2020 or other features occur, yours won't update to those unless you buy them as well. With Office 365, the subscription service, you get those services yearly. Don't forget the email you used to activate your product because if you ever need to re-download the software to a different computer, it is attached to that email key.

Simplify administrative tasks with this Brother multifunction laser printer. Its 250-sheet paper capacity requires fewer refills while handling letter-size and legal-size paper for professional-looking documents, and the two-sided printing function at 36 ppm* helps save on paper costs. This Brother multifunction laser printer has wireless capability for printing from any portable device.
Can it scan photographs in color so I can print in a colored photo printer later?
Yes, it can. I scanned a very wrinkled certificate award I received from a state-wide competition. The scan appeared in color and I was able to print the colored version to my other printer using card stock, making myself a copy of the award in a crisp new look. Photos should work the same. I have included a picture of my scan (I turned the file into PDF, but jpeg and PNG (both photo files) were also options. Hope this answers your question.

Capture and share special moments with Google Clips. Engineered to recognize faces and expressions, this clever camera automatically takes several-second-long audio-free motion photos, leaving you free to focus on the occasion. Enhanced with Super Res mode, the Google Clips device syncs data with your phone and lets you save any frame as a high-resolution still photo.
can you record movies? quality? audio?
Hello. I recently reviewed this product. This device does not have a microphone, so it cannot record audio. The quality of the images is great but performs poorly in dark rooms. The file formats to choose from are live photo (iPhone), .MP4 (7 second limitation, no audio), and .GIF.
