Great Choice For Casual/Serious Gamers
on April 25, 2023
Posted by: Posted1
The Thrustmaster - T128 is a great choice for the casual to serious gamer. My 21 year-old son and I are {not surprisngly} very competitive. And while he smokes me in shooter type games, we are pretty neck-and-neck on racing games. This was SUPPOSED to give me an advantage, but I'll get to that later.
First off, set-up was pretty straight-forward. Any experienced gamer should be able to have it set up in no time. Basicly plug, load drivers (at least for PC) and you're off and running.
As for use, the "feel" is great. The wheel adjusts relatively well to the nature of the environment. The haptic feedback is fun and accurate.
The overall feel is good, but for maybe more advanced/serious users, there may be better (and by better, I also mean more expensive options) but for a casual user, this is a nice option.
The one item that I will note, is the pedals take some getting used to. Probably more-so for me and my 36 years of "real driving" as compared to my son, who has considerably more years behind a virtual wheel. He seememd to adjust to them much quicker than I did.
As mentioned earlier, this was SUPPOSED to give me an advantage in our gaming... Well, he ended up taking this to his dorm at the US NAavy Nuclear Engineering dorm! So he now has the advantage! I will probabky need to get another one to even us up!

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
on April 14, 2023
Posted by: Posted1
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly... Here we have a certain measure of all.
Let me start with my specific use for this fan. I have a relatively large home. We have 2700 sq ft on the main floor with a 1500 sq ft basement. Those two levels share a large furnace and a large AC unit.
Then we have a 1500 sq ft upstairs that has 3 beds, 2 baths, and an office. That floor also has its own separate furnace and AC.
The Good:
It does what it's designed to do, and it does it well. It moves a lot of air and it does it relatively quietly. I placed this fan upstairs in the room my wife and daughter use as their lady cave. I am sure it will end up saving me money as its 3 speeds and oscillation will provide additional air flow and cooling.
The Bad:
The metal height adjust rod seemed to be missing. In the manual, it was listed as a stand-alone separate part. After checking the inventory and comparing it to the manual no less than 4 times, that part was indeed missing. As I started to disassemble, I ended up removing the plastic locking nut in the lower support and luckily turning it upside down, the missing piece slid out. Frustrating.
Secondly, and with the understanding that this is a decent entry-level fan, it does have a cheap, plastic feel.
The Ugly:
Let's face it, this is a blade fan. The technology has been around since time immemorial. Does it do what it's supposed to? Absolutely. But are there more elegant options available? Yes.
End of the day, would I recommend it to a friend? Maybe. But I would caveat the previously noted items mentioned.

Great Choice IF You Have The Need
on April 10, 2023
Posted by: Posted1
The Panasonic - KX-TGF892B DECT is a great phone system. Being LEO and a realtor, having a landline may seem outidated, but you can (with the right provider) set multiple options for vmail, certain call's forwarded and other options. This phone system is a great option for my specific needs.
From un-pack to set up was 5 minutes at the most. Plug in handset, connect phone line, plug base in to outlet and the system is ready to pair the 2 chordless DECT handsets. For those, simply remoce back battery panel, insert 2 included batteries, plug in base and you are ready to go.
One nice feature with this sysytem is it's DECT {Digitally Enhanced Chordless Telecommunications} that operates at 1900 MHz. The advantage? It's a much less saturated frequency than any 802.11xx frequency. This is good for both your telephony needs and it leads to less interference for your WiFi network.
Another great feature (at least for me) is the Bluetooth built in. You can pair a Bluetooth headset and have one point of voice as you may need to get up and look for documents etcetera.
End of the day, it's a great choice IF you have the need.

Nice Little Espresso Machine With One Flaw
on April 7, 2023
Posted by: Posted1
Nice ittle Espresso Machine with one flaw... I'll get to that later.
This is my second experience with a Phillips Espresso Machine. A few years ago I recieved a great Phillips Saeco high end machine. It's been a very nice, reliable well used machine. This Phillips is essentially the little sibling to that and I expect to get the same number of years of service from this.
In the box you'll find the machine, the drip tray with float, catch system and manuals. Here-in lies the problem... The manual says after you put everything together and before you use the machine, you need to install the "Philips/Saeco AquaClean Filter". That would be fine, but there is no Philips/Saeco AquaClean Filter in the box. I understand that most companies produce manuals that support 2, 3 or 4 models whithin a "family" of products. And in this case, the manual seems to support tyhe 1200, 2200 and 3200 models. I am not sure, but I am assuming that perhas the 2200 and 3200 MIGHT include the filter. BUt it's frusturating that the part list included the filter. End of the day, this isn't a deal breaker; the machine can be used without the filter but the filter helps with the need to descale.
OK, once I realized there was no filter, I continued setup. Not much to do there. Ws up and running within 3 or 4 minutes from opening the box. Use is simple. It has 4 basic functions; Espresso, Coffe, Hot Water and Steam. Next it give you three sgtrength settins, three fill levels and options to descale and set filter. Pretty simple. The Steam option allows you to manually froth milk or cream.
End of the day, it does what it's supposed to do and it does it well. Would be an easy 5 Star rating were it not for the Philips/Saeco AquaClean Filter situation. I would suggest that a simple edit of the manual to say that the filter was NOT included would go a LONG way in brand ambassadorship.

Excellent speaker. That really sums it up.
I am not new to the Sonos ecosystem. I found myself lucky enough to get a Sonos powered Sonance outdoor/maritime speakers set a couple years ago. So when the opportunity came up for this, I knew I would be getting a high quality unit with superior sound. And indeed I did.
First off, Sonos is a brand leader in the upper-end consumer accesible speakers. They do one thing (provide excellent sound quality) and they do it very well. In addition to providing great sound, they always deliver a very handsome package that fits into most environments and decor.
The new Sonos Era 300 is quite possibly one of the best sound-engineering designs available to mass consumers. They have included 2 subwoofers (left and right), 2 tweeters on either side and a center channel tweeter. They also included a unique upper firing tweeter that provides Dolby Atmos for directional sound. Pretty imressive design.
One unique design feature that Sonos includes in almost every speaker they make is in the interoperability among the Sonos family. To put it another way, you could take two of these speaker, combine it with one of their several soundbars and then put a couple Sonos One speakers into one ecosystem to get a truly immersive Dolby Atmos television experince. Or use the same speakers as a room filling music system. IN this case, the Era 300 also makes for an excellent stand alone speaker.
The lows are rich, accurate and smooth. The mids are crisp, clean and clear. The highs are perfectly delivered and clean in every way. In all, an excellent room-filling speaker in a relatively small foot-print.
The Sonos app is simple, solid and inclusive. Most all popular music services are supported and the integration is a natural transition into the Sonos app. You can also custom ize the EQ on the app if you have a preference for sound set up.
Controls are great on the device too. A "sliding" touch on top of the speaker for volume. Play/pause and FWD/BKW are also via touch on top. You can also turn off the microphone completely via a switch on the back.
End of the day, this is an excellent choice for almost any residence. I would whole-heartedly reccomend to a friend!

First thoughts? Very cool drone, especially for the price!
In the manual, it highly reccomends that when you first fly with it, they highly reccomand you have an experienced pilot with you. That is excellent advice! Fortunately, my neighbor is a licensed commercial drone pilot. Having him there to tutar and advise was invaluable. If you can, plaese do.
In the box is the drone w/ battery pack, remote, USB cable, instructions AND spare blades, screws and screwdriver.
Set up was pretty easy. Charge drone and remote battery, install app, power on and the app tells you how to set up GPS and compass orientation. Pretty simple.
First flight was basic controls. Took some time, but practice makes perfect. The camera is pretty good quality and captures video and snapshots. A nice feature not often found on a drone this affordable was the pan and tilt of the camera. It worked great. Regarding video and pictures, there is a micre SD card slot on the drone. If you don't have the SD, it captures the video on your phone straight into your pictures folder.
Some nice features regarding the GPS is that it has a "Home" button. We tested it a couple times and both times it returned to within about 2 feet of where it took off. It also has a heigth limit and will not go any higher than that. Keeps you from losing radio connection.
End of the day, my heighbor (and his thousands of hours experience) said it was a great drone, especially for the price. I woud (and have) reccomend this to a friend.

Great Choice If You Have Need

Lexie Hearing - Lexie Lumen OTC Hearing Aids: An excellent choice if you need them.
So my dad is living with us for a year or so after losing my mom unexpectedly. The wife and I {along with my brother and other family members) have noted for YEARS that his hearing has been getting progressively worse. After living with us for as long as he had, it was blatantly obvious to EVERYONE that his hearing was rapidly depleteing.
Unfortunately, he continually denied it. Even though both of his brothers and 2 of 3 of nephews have worn hearing aids for years, he simply denied it.
Well, we finally had the difficult conversation and he agreed that we were probably right... When I gave him the chance to look over these and read the Best Buy tech spec's he agreed to try them out. I can tell you, he is glad he did!
He is much more connected in coversations, more aware of things happening around him AND he has turned the TV volume down significantly.
After downloading the app, set up was pretty easy. We had him going in a fairly short time. The app was easy to use and laid out very well. As for comfort, he has worn them for hours at a time and had no complaints, at least after a couple days to "burn them in". He has used them in multipe social settings, while driving, at a Colorado Avalanche game, skiing. All with no problems.
These are a high-end medical device and I would whole-heartedly reccomend them to a friend!

OK, let me start by saying I am an Android/Windows guy while my wife is an Apple kind of gal so when I had the opportunity to get this j5create - 4K60 Elite Pro USB4 Hub with MagSafe Kit, she was really excited.
After using it for a few days, she is happy with ij5create. She had been looking for a hub for quite some time and even tried a couple options and none of them really brought her what she needed. With this one, it seems to not only do what the Macbook stock ports seem to lack, but it does it very well.
Packaging was good, and had a quality feel. Opening was simple. Some items are either flimsy in packaging or have a cheap feel. Opening was simple, set-up is (of course) simple and she was using it from opening box to full use in just a couple minutes. It's a plug-and-play device so no need to download any software.
End of the day, if you are in the market for an Apple compatible USB hub, the j5create - 4K60 Elite Pro USB4 Hub with MagSafe is an excellent choice.
I would (and have) reccomend this to a friend.

Great choice!
Swann has been in the home security and monitoring field for quite some time. I have had the experience of dabbling with various platforms in the past and have never been disappointed. This outdoor floodlight 4K surveillance camera is no exception.
Right out of the box, this has a decent quality feel to it. It came packaged well and was easy to open and unpackage.
Installation, while simple for some, may be deemed to complex or beyond others expected capacities. It is a hardwired unit so ONLY proceed with self installation if you are comfortable enough. If you ahve any concerns, I highly encourage you to hire a qualified electrician or ask an experienced friend to help you out.
Basicaly shut off power to that breaker, remove the existing lighting unit, re-wire this unit back in, mount it, turn power back on and you are off and running.
Next, download the app and connect to your network and you will see you have several options to customize the light and monitored zones.
I have the Google Nest unit on the garage side of my house and I placed this on the detached garage. I honestly see little difference in either quality or brightness of lights nor motion sensing.
This is a great option, especially if you are already in the Swann ecosystem
And if not, Swann is an excellent place to start!

Great choice...
When I received the offer for this McAfee Premium Individual, I was happy to accept the offer. I have had McAfee products in the past and always found them to be solid. They have always delivered as promised... This is no different.
Set up was simple. Go to the linked website, enter the code, download the software, open an account and boom, you are off and running. Interface is clean, intuitive and simple. Seems to run relatively lightly in the background.
Some of the primary items it provides is antivirus and tracker removal. These are (I know, I am stating the obvious) quite important options to have in today's on-line environment. How well do they work? Well, so far so good. And based on McAfee's reputation, I expect them to be competitive to other popular offerings.
Another nice option is the built in VPN. While I normally use Surfshark VPN, I decided to try this for a few days and it seems to work just as well. Nice offering.
Some other items this has is ID Protection and Personal Data Cleanup. I have other products I use but if I am going to go on reputation alone, I would say that this product is certainly on par with it's cometitors.
End of the day, this is a solid choice and I would recommend it.

I'm not sure I understand the question. You should be able to plug the USB into your PC, turn your mouse to the "on" position and have it operate no problems.
