OK, this is not my first foray into the world of Casetify. A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to use and review a Casetify case for my Samsung S 24 Ultra. To be honest, the case I received had a beautiful floral pattern on it. Now, I am a dude, and a US Navy Submarine guy, so that pattern was not conducive to my life, so I took advantage of the case, but gave it a bit more testosterone and putting the classic US Navy Submarine Force (pictured) stickers on it.
OK, now that I had it "re-decorated", the case was phenomenal. It was a perfect fit, provided great protection, and was easy to comfortable control. Fast forward to this case, and the outcome was the same... Comfortable, easy to grasp, and protective. And with this case, I had no need to customize the exterior. Win, win!
All in all, this is an excellent choice, and a great value to protect your phone. End of the day, I would, (and have), reccomend to a friend. You can't go wrong, and this is agreat value!

This is not my first experience with the Casetify product line. A couple of years ago, I received an offer to get a very similar floral pattern case for my Samsung Galaxy S 24 Ultra. So, I'm a dude, and a Navy guy at that, so while the floral pattern was not "my thing", I manlified the floral pattern with the classic US Navy skull and crossed sword US Navy Submarine Force stickers (pictured). That said, the case itself was fantastic. It was lightweight, highly portable, grippy and comfortably encased ther phone with a confident embrace.
So moving onto this case, it is quite familiar to the S 24 Ultra case. The floral pattern is gorgeous. The portability, comfort, grip and confidence are just as good as the original. But, this time, I don't need to "manlifie" this case, since I gave it to my daughter to accompany her new phone. She absolutely loves it. The pattern is attractive, deep, and perfect for a females sensibilities...
End of the day, I can, (and have) reccomend this to a friend, or in this case, a daughter. Excellent choice for the ladies, and for the ldaies in your life.

For this review, I am not going to go in depth into specs or benchmarks, since that information is freeley and readily available from multiple places... But what I will focus on is end-user experience and real-world performance.
OK, first things first... I am recovering from a recent major surgery, so the wife and I have moved from our usual family room area (it has 2 steps down to get to) for hanging out, and instead have moved into the den. In the family room, there is an outlet very close to where I sit, but not on on the den. I only bring this up because having no outlet, I use this machone on battery power mainly and only plug in to recharge as needed. With this Snapdragon X Plus processer, it manages resources to a sip. That is fantastic for my needs. I am on this machine for several hours every day, but I only need to recharge it every 2 or days. And the recharge time is very quick. For my needs, this is a great feature.
The machine also has a backlit keyboard, which is great for my old-man eyes. Nice feature, and that really should be a standard.
The machine has a great tactile feel, and a very good build for a mid-priced consumer grade laptop. The keyboard is excellent, with a great feel. I had been using a Dell XPS 13", and while it's an amazingly powerful machine, the keyboard is cramped. This unit is much easier to type, especially with my huge old Colorado farmer man-hands. I really appreciate that.
As far as overall performance, is this a proper gaming machine? Well, no, but it's not supposed to be. It is an excellent consumer machine for most all purposes, from Internet browsing, to office tasks, to content creation, it has plenty of memory, horsepower, and screen.
In all, an excellent mid-priced laptop. Glad I got the chance to grab it, and yes, I would reccomend to a friend.

OK, where to start for something as simple as a soundbar wall-mount?
Let em start with the brand... Insignia: Insignia is Best Buy's in-house brand. They are well known for providing good quality consumer grade products at competitive, or better, pricing. I have never been dissapointed in any experience with Insignia, and this product is no different.
Overall build quality is excellent, as has come to be expected from Insignia. I would have no confidence issues using this product for any of my soundbars. It should have no problems supporting most any soundbar.
Installation was, as expected, simple. I am not the handiest guy in the world, but for most anyone with the common understanding of using a level, a drill, and a screwdriver, mounting shioukld be no more than a few minute process.
Once mounted, they not only supported the bar, but also almost naturally dissapeared, looking to be as much a apart of the soundbar as anything.
End of the day, a great choice, regardless of the budget. This product will not dissapoint and will save you a few bucks too.

This is not my first foray into the Wybot RoboVac pool cleaning family. Last spring, my wife purchased a Wybot C1 RoboVac pool cleaner. It is a great little RoboVac. It does a fine job cleaning both the pool bottom and walls. The only problem (and it's not the C1 RoboVac's fault), is that it cleaned about 2/3'rds of our large4 pool, and thenm ran out of charge. End of the day, no huge deal, we just pulled it out, recharged it for a few hours, and ran it again in the area's it missed. No biggie, but a little more work than really necessary...
That said, when the opportunity came up for the Big Brother of our C1 (Wybot - C2 Pro Robot Pool Cleaner), I jumped on it. Knowing the pedigree, history, and efficacy of the Little Brother, I jumped on it.
Out of the box, we charged it for a few hours while we ran errands. When we returned, we already had the Wybot App and account, adding the C2 was fast and simple. My wife is the Wybot Power User, so after it was charged and added tio the app, she dropped it in the pool and away she went.
This being a larger version of the C1, it did as good a job at cleaning, but also having the larger battery and capacity, it was able to clean our relatively large pool in one charge, with plenty left over.
Now that we have this Wybot C2, we gave our C1 to our son, as he has a smaller pool, more appropriately sized for the C1.
End of the day, this is a great choice for those who have poole with a larger footprint. I can, and would, reccomend to a friend.

When I received the offer for this Bitdefender Total Security Individual 5 Devices/1-Year, I was quick to grab it. I have had experience with a few other Bitdefender products over the years, and I have never been disappointed. This product continues that longstanding experience.
One of the things I appreciate most about Bitdefender's products, is how "lite" they are. What I mean by that, is so many other products in this genre are not only resource hogs, but also "pop-up" hogs, (McAfee/Norton, anyone?),and "bloat-ware hogs". It gets so frustrating with other suites who constantly want to implant extentins, change your browsing tools, un-necessarily re-direct you, and constantly pop-up with warnings and completely useless redirections that only server to force you deeper into their ecosystem.
With Bitdefender, this does not happen. Bitdefender runs quietly in the background has almost zero impact on system drain, and never interjects with bloat-ware or useless po-ups. Awesome.
Another great thing about Bitdefender, is that they do not require a credit card for first year. Most every product in the genre requires you to supply your credit card information before you can set it up. Bitdefender (rightfully so), has so much confidence in their product thast they let you learn tio trust it before taking your "future ransom payment". Well done.
In all, this an excellent choice that has all the offerings.

Let me start by saying I refuse to use use the word "friDge"! There is no no "D" in the word "word "refrigerator", and nietheris there a "D" in the root word "frigid". That said, I will always use the patently correct word "frige".
Packaging was well constructed and held the little frige in place. Unpacking was simple. A couple knife cuts, and the refrigerator was able to be lifted right out.
Once outjust remove the tape from the frige, remove the styrofoam from the interior, plug in, and your on the way to nice cold beverages.
Good looking little frige. Should blend well into most any decore. For us, it sitle perfectly wel in the den by the wetbar. The see-through glass on the front door is a nice feature. You are able assess the inventory with just a quick glance. That's especially true given the LED on the cieling of the frige.
It does come with adjustable shelves to accomoadate most any size beverages. The door is also reversible to accomodate both left and right access points.
If it could have one improvement, the knob to adjust the tempurature is oddly located and not easy to see if you are closer to the lower end, oor higher end f the temp range.

Several years ago, my first video doorbell cam was a first-gen Ring cam's. I remember that it was a great cam, with a really clean, and efficient app. Over the years, the family gradually moved our in-home integration intomthe Nest eco-system. This was in no way an indictment against Ring, but having the one eco-system for all smart-home is nice.
Having said that, when the opportunity came up to get this, I jumped on it. I am not dissapointed.
Out of the box, the flood-cam has the expected high-quality that Ring has delivered from the get-go. I downloaded the app, and again, I was not dissapointed. It had a simple, but rich offering. Just as I remembered. Don't get me wrong, it was not the exaxct same, but an updated version. Clean, accessable, and intuitive.
For my installation, I had an existing old-school eve mounted floodlight, so I already had the existing junction box, and wiring, so a ladder and a screwdrive was about all that was needed. While I am not the mandiest guy in the world, installation was simple. If you don't have the confidence to work with ellectricity, trade a friend, or local handyman a $20 bill and a 12 pack of beer. It should take no more than 25 minutes for most experienced handy-folk.
Once installed, set-up in the app was a breeze. I have this placed in my backyard, and it is working great. I won't get into the techie stuff becasue that is easily accessable from both the Best Buy and Ring websites. But suffice it to say, this is a great choice, and I would reccomend toa friend.
Protect your home effortlessly with this plug-and-play 2K Wi-Fi Floodlight Camera. No hardwiring needed~just plug in and control the horizontal pan via app for the perfect view. It lights up your space exactly when you need it.

First off, excellent camera, powerful spotlight, decent looking, does not require hard power... But the software is... Well, quirky. In their defense, this is a completely new platform with new hardware and firmware.
Here is my experience: Mounting? Simple. Wiring? Not required, it uses a standard 110 outlet.Out of the box and ready to go? Maybe 10 mintes. So far, so good.
Here is where it gets odd... The software. I am used to motion sensing camera's that are out of the box, ready to sense motion, and is a spotlight, turn the spotlight on. First problem? It did not detect motion. At all. As such, no spotlight was turned on. I checked the MIcroSD card (not included), and sure enough, no video, but it did detect and record audio. Being the grizzled old techie vet I am I dug right in and started troubleshooting. First and foremost, I went into settings and adjusted every detection setting I could. Nothing. Next I deleted the app, reset the camera and re-uploaded latest firmware. Still nothing. After several iterations, I got it to detect motion AND turn on the light, but... The light would stay on for the alloted 10 seconds I had it set for, but then the light would turn off for 1 second, and then come on again for the 10 second. Lather, rinse, repeat...
Went into settings again, and I got it to stop doing that, but on so doing, it stopped detecting motion.
FortunatelyTIN directed me to straight to Tier II Tech Support. Working with Sally for aproximately 40 minutes and after adjusting multiple, multiple settings, it operated as expected. Once that was done, it operated as expected.
So back to where I started, greeat hardware, but in my case, quirky software. I am sure this was a one-off issue soecific to my camera, but it did taint the experience.
End of the day, a 5 star camera with 3 star, one-off experience.

So mI have had Arlo products for years. I have always found them to be solid mi-grade consumers that are fairly priced and relatively feature rich. When this Essential 2K came out, I was excited to get it.
The timing was perfect, because the week before, I recieved Arlo Essential outdoor-cam. The original plan was install it at our Silverdale tiny house. Our son is a US Navy Nuclear Engineer at the Kitsap Submarine Base. When we learned he was going to be stationed there, we purchased a few acres, made a few improvements and had a "tiny-house" installed for him until we retired.
Now this is the perfect companion piece. It can cover the enitirety of the living / kitchen area of the house, while the outdoor cam can moniitor the lane leading up to the home.
Arlo has their subscription plan, and it's reasonably priced. They also (I have read), offer a "hub" that allows for localstorage. Weare going witht he subscription. Our thinking is we can monitor the camera's here from Colorado while he is out under the Pacific Ocean, and we can notify local law enforcement if needed. And having the recording "in the cloud", we can be assured that if the hiuse is ever burgularized, they can't steal the recording.
OK, onto the techy stuff. I won't dwell too much here as there is ample great info on the BB site and my fellow TIN reviewers.
Setup was simle. We already had the app, so adding the additiopnal camera was simple. Video quality is great, in both full light and in the dark.
For the price, this is a great choice, especially if you already have the Arlo infrastructure.
