De'Longhi Stilosa 15 Bar Pump Espresso Machine
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
My 15 year old daughter wanted an espresso maker... For her room. I mean, what 15 year old DOESN'T have an espresso machine in their room, right? Remembering my high school days and how much a solid caffeine kick would have helped me out in the morning, I decided to pick this up when it came available. Glad I did.
It's an attractive unit with a nice footprint (especially for a bedroom). It's simple to operate and has a quality feel. It also includes a frother for cappuccino or latte.
After a quick training session and a couple of practices, she was barrista'ing like a champ! Easy to use, simple controls and quick.
In all, yes, I would recommend it to a friend. That said, I see a mini refrigerator on her whish list next. Oh well, if it helps that GPA, a small investment and well worth it!

Nice air fryer. I got it for my basement bar. Want some nice, hot, super-NOT-healthy cheese sticks for the hockey game? How about some jalapeno poppers for half-time of college football? Maybe some french fries to go with burgers you are trying to recipe match with the food show your wife is watching? This is a solid choice.
Not that any air-fryer is necessarily hard to operate but this analog option is as easy as it gets. Simple clean-up, small footprint...
For a basic air fryer, I see no reason not to try this one out.
In all, I would recommend it to a friend.

Good Filter, Bad Bluetooth
on October 7, 2020
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
As a filter, it's perfect. As a Bluetooth device, it's useless.
I installed this filter one month ago on 9/5/2020 and clearly from the state of my old filter it was way past due. Setup was fairly straightforward, just install the app, pull the battery tab on the Bluetooth module, and pair it with your phone. It immediately reported the current status, so everything looked great.
After a week or two, I received a notification on my phone. Something similar to "the filter has not been seen for some time". I was somewhat expecting this, as my furnace is old, covered in steel panels, and likely original to my early 1970's house. Steel, as you might have guessed, is really good at blocking radio signals like those used by Bluetooth. It's entirely likely that newer furnaces use plastic or at least aluminum that would transmit the signal much easier.
Since I had no electronic way of checking the status of the filter, I pulled it today (after one month of light usage). It's clearly working perfectly as a filter, since the input side was dirty and the output side still totally clean. So, as filters go, it 100% does its job.
My advice is buy a normal, non-Bluetooth filter.
In all, I would not recommend. And Filtrete, you need to find a better way to Bluetooth.

What DOESN'T This Thing Do?
on September 28, 2020
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
Great choice. This thing does almost anything you could ever want. Super multi-function... 1) Whole roast, 2) Air roast, 3) Air fry, 4) Pizza, 5) Bake, 6) Dehydrate, 7) Broil, 8) Toast, 9) Bagel and 10) Reheat.
It arrived very well packaged. It's a relatively large unit, but was from closed box to countertop in less than 4 minutes. Attractive unit, solid stainless steel. It is a large unit. The size might be good for some but maybe not for all depending on counter space.
Tested two frozen pizzas. Both cooked at same time and were great. Much more efficient than the 220v full size oven. The settings allow for choosing between 1 shelf cooking and 2. It did a great job on both pizza's.
Next, my daughter did a batch of cookies. They turned out great as well. And again, much more efficient than turning on the full size oven.
If you have the room, I would recommend this as a great choice and I would recommend to a friend.

Perfectly Serviceable Classic Coffee Maker
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
We have a classic coffee maker that's a few years old in our bar. Works just fine so when I got the chance to get this unit, I sent the old coffee maker off to college with my son for his freshmen year and had this shiny new one on our bar for our Irish coffee recipe.
First impressions, exactly what to be expected from Mr. Coffee. I remember Mr. Coffee being the "preferred" premium brand when I was a kid in the 80's. If you had Mr. Coffee, you had THE GOODS! Unit was received as expected, nice packaging, attractive an understated box. Well packaged but easy to unbox. So far so good.
Opened up and pulled out the unit. Very nice looking. Decent feel of quality. Plugged it in, set the clock ( I HATE incorrect clocks!) and made first pot... You now what it did? It made a nice pot of coffee!
As previously noted, this unit is to be used in our basement bar for Irish coffee home-made recipe, so some of the "normal" features, I did not test (timer brew etcetera) and the strong brew feature was tested but did not really matter for our purposes. That said, I have no reason to believe that the claims would be untrue.
End of the day, nice unit and a good choice for a quality unit at a very good price. I would recommend it to a friend.

The KitchenAid digital countertop oven with air fry was designed to offer endless healthy and fresh possibilities. With the No-Flip air fry basket and 360 degree air fry system it's easy to make everything from french fries to delicate fish and so much more. And, this countertop oven features the smallest footprint* and fits a 9x13-inch baking pan** to easily accommodate a sheet cake, full one-pan dinner, or up to 2 full size chickens (3.4 lbs each). The same possibilities as a full size oven with quality results in a convenient countertop size. *compared to leading countertop oven brands. **included.

I got this to replace the counter-top steam oven/toaster that I sent off to college with a wave and a smile for my son to use.
It is an attractive unit and has a larger capacity than the steam oven/toaster. I would recommend to look at measurements and make sure you have enough counter-space and height.
As for function, not much to say other than it does what it's supposed to and does it as expected. Simple to use, intuitive and attractive.
End of the day, I would recommend it to a friend.

I received the digital code 3 days ago. Download was simple and quick. Once download was complete, setup was equally quick and easy. I have a Dell G5 with two 1TB SSD drives. It scanned both in about 2 minutes and found a few issues that I could chose to either ignore or quarantine. I set it to scan every morning at 02:30 and so far, so good.

I will open with the admission that I have been a long time fan of Logitech. They make great peripherals that are high quality and well priced. These headphones are no exception.
Well packaged and high quality, these headphones have a polished aluminum look, soft and comfortable ear cups and a removable headphone. Included is a USB charging cable and USB Bluetooth adapter.
Controls are on the left earpiece and include on/off, volume and mute. They are easily accessible, and offer a nice tacticale feel.
You will want to download the Logitech G HUB to tune the mic and create/download profiles.
End of the day, very good gaming headset with one opportunity for improvement. The bass is certainly adequate, but I do wish it were just a little more punchy. Certainly not a deal breaker, but I do want just that little bit of improvement.
I would recommend to a friend for gaming, but for music, they are pretty good, but not quite great.

Title pretty much sums it up. I currently have an 8 camera/8 channel/2 TB 4k system that I have mounted on the exterior of my house. I am using this 4 camera/16 channel/1TB 1080p system to monitor my garage and my safes in the basement.
I cannot fairly compare the 2 systems as one is 4k on a 47" 4k LG TV while on this 1080p I am using a Dell 1080p monitor. Additionally, this system is "budget-minded" whereas the other one is more feature rich and also more expensive.
That said, on its own merits, it is a decent system. The video quality is pretty good and the night vision is also pretty decent. I see most of the complaints being related to the facial recognition. This is a non-factor to me so I won't ding it for a feature I don't use and don't care about. As far as the motion detection recording, I really don't like that feature on any video system since the delay can often miss important features or activities. I much prefer to record all the time. Having said that, the delay on this system seems a little more "laggy" than my other system or my doorbell camera.
THE PROS:
-Decent picture both day and night
-Value priced
-16 channel
-1 TB HDD
-"Spotlight" feature
-Recording options (motion based, always on, removing area's you don't want to record etcetera)
-Value priced

THE SO-SO:
-Laggy motion detection recording
-Interface good not great
-Camera's feel a little bit (not too bad) plastic
-Interface good not great
-Camera's feel a little bit (not too bad) plastic
THE CONS:
-No zoom feature
-Spotlight is either motion-based or off. Would like to be able to manually control
(In fairness, I'm using these in my garage and basement so perhaps that would be a nice feature were it outside)
-No zoom ability

-No zoom ability
End of the day, a decent choice for a budget-minded system. Could it be better? Perhaps. Would it be more expensive? Probably. But for the price, this is a solid system.
The pictures included for this review are all temporary in my mad-scientist garage as I have not had chance to pull cables but they are fair and representative.
I would recommend to a friend, but I would mention the caveats noted above.

Samsung 870 QVO 2TB Internal 2.5~ SATA III Solid State Drive for Laptops and Desktops Single Unit version
Posted by: Posted1
from Niwot CO
Samsung makes great stuff, pretty much across the board. This drive is no different.
Nicely packaged, easy to open, and packaging and drive both had a really nice feel and look.
Installation was simple and as advertised, the built in software automatically revealed to my Dell G5 gaming laptop bios. Install, return back-plate and screws, power up, partition drive and good to go.
From an operating standpoint, it works as expected. It very quickly moves those one's and zeroes and stores them just as would be expected.
In all, a solid choice if you want to say goodbye to the HDD and hello to the much faster and more reliable SSDD. Especially considering the 3 year warranty.
In all, I would gladly recommend to a friend.

how do I get my mouse to move properly on my intel computer screen
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.
