The Blueair Humidifier rapidly provides humidification up to 500 sqft. Designed to create more comfortable sleep air through an easier, cleaner humidification experience. This humidifier uses cutting-edge InvisibleMist Technology, a technology that delivers up to 48 hours of clean moisture by first trapping water impurities within our anti-microbial coated wick, then releases pure water vapor into the air. No more stickiness, water residue or white dust - only pure water vapor released into the air without the mist. With the UV-powered water pump that recirculates water, the risk of bacteria growth in the water is heavily reduced. Easy maintenance with two ways to refill and an easy clean tank, which has a large opening for no hard-to-reach spots, or is dishwasher safe for a deeper clean of the unit. Achieve better sleep with the highly rated Blueair app, as the AutoHydrate feature uses sensors to monitor and adjust your specific environment. Want it to run through the night? Activate night mode for continuous, quiet humidification that works throughout the night for uninterrupted sleep.

Great Choice If You Have The Need
on December 10, 2024

This is my third foray into Blueair... And like my previous two experiences, I am not disspointed. this Blueair - InvisibleMist 0.9 gallon Evaporative Premium Smart Top-Fill humidifier is a great addition, if you need it.
Having a pretty small cabin in the Colorado Front Range Foothills, the winters can be biting. And when it does get cold, the heater and the fireplace really dries out. While we have a whole house humidifier in our main house, our cabin is only 3 rooms with baseboard electric heat and the fireplace. Needless to say, the air can get quite dry. And sleeping in dry air, it's not uncommon to get dry noses and lungs, and also the occasional bloody nose.
Enter the Blueair - InvisibleMist 0.9 gallon Evaporative Premium Smart Humidifier... We visited the cabin last weekend, and as usual, we cranked the baseboard heat when we arrived and started a nice, roaring fire to get the internal temp up the low 70's. And as usual, the air started to dry out. We set up thiis uinit and within 25 to 30 minutes, we could immediately feel the differece. And at night, the comfort of sleep was considerably better.
For our unique situation, this is the perfect solution. If you have the need, this is the perfect solution!

Not Great For Us Larger People...
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
OK, here's the deal... I gave it a 3 star rating but I will admit, some of that rating is due to my big man-head and ears... That said, this is an honest review based on my personal experience.
First off, the item is decent quality from a build perspective. BlueParrott is owned by Jabra and my favorite earbuds are Jabra. I have always had good experience with Jabra, but this particular product was somewhat dissapointing.
Trying to pair was a little frusturating. It absolutely would not pair per instruction on the box until I downloaded the app. I have, as a Best Buy Top 50 TIN reviewer, paired countless BT devices over the years. This one was certainly not one of the easiest devices I have paired.
OK, once it was paired, the app was so-so at the best. Not a lot of controls from the app but that's ok, I'm not a huge app guy.
Putting it on, I think it should be comfortable for most but it was super-tight on my great big head. And the ear-cup did not comfortably cover my ear but instead it "smashed" my ear into my head. It was not a particularly comfprtable fit.
End of the day, I gave it to my wife. She's going to use it for playing video games with our US Navy Nuclear Engineer son. It seems to fit her head and ears considerably better than mine. If you are bigger person, these may not be the best. If you are on the average size, I'm sure these may be a decent choice.
JMHO!

Excecllent Choice To Build A Great Gaming PC
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
I’ll start this review with a note about some BIOS / Windows version issues. You need Windows 11 24H2 for Wi-Fi 7 support and the BIOS from the factory has a bug specifically with 24H2 that prevents video output. So, the very first thing you should do is update the BIOS (available on the asus website). This is just normal best practice with a new motherboard, but it’s really critical for this specific model – assuming you want to make the most of what you just bought.
If you want fast, this is the board for you. Between Wi-Fi 7 support (even only with 160 MHz support) and the 2.5Gb Ethernet port, you’ll have no problems with connectivity. Fun fact, a normal Gigabit Ethernet port maxes out at about 950 Mbps, so you’ll never saturate your Gigabit home internet connection without moving to 2.5Gb Ethernet or a fast Wi-Fi connection (assuming your AP also has 2.5 or above Ethernet backhaul).
USB ports are also fast and I appreciate the inclusion of a Thunderbolt port. Note that the USB PD is limited to 5V/3A (15 watts), so you won’t get fast charging (25 watts) or super fast charging (45 watts) on your phone. Not a huge deal at all, just FYI.
Speed does come at a price, as the socket LGA1851 CPUs are spendy, but that’s what you can expect when you get the latest bleeding-edge device. Everything else is pretty standard RE: RAM, M.2 slots (though PCIe 5.0 support is nice), SATA, etc. Can’t really speak to all of the “AI” features of this board, but I guess that will come with time.
End of the day, great choice and I would (and have) reccomend to a friend.

Great Portable, High-Power Laptop!
on December 1, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
OK, this is my third Dell - XPS 13 model of laptop that I have tried and it is, by far the best...
My first Dell - XPS 13, was essentially a brick. You could power it on, but after a few times of "sleeping", it would not power on. The only way to get it back up was to old-school disconnect the battery. That sounds reasonable, but with modern laptops, yiu can't just remove the battery and plug-and-play it back on. You have to remove the back with severa tiny screws, remove the battery connection and disconnect/reconnect the battery. Not cool.
That said, Dell was GREAT and immediatly replaced it. The replacem en thas been awesome. The only problem is that the backlit keyboard on that model was silver-blue in color. Well, the backlighting being a white-silver made the backlighting often no-existant. This Dell - XPS 13 - Copilot+ PC beat that issue by having the keyboard black. It's a very nice backlight experience.
Another major difference is the function keys are not a classic standard key. They are hard-loaded on the top row above the classik keys. That'skind of a cool feature.
As far specs go, I am not going to go into any of that since it readily available from BB website, Dell website and my many great fellow reviewrs. Suffice ti to say, that tech specs a reblazing and the performance certainly matches to adverised specs.
One important note, most components are built into the motherboard so this is not an upgradeable PC. But that's OK, since most users of this unit will not be game-chasing PC users. This is an excellent choice for persoanl. student and business use. And yes, it can certainly handle most hardcore gaming, but most hardcore gamers will go with a purpose built gaming machine.
End of the day, this is an excellent choice for a high-end, portable laptop. I would reccomend it to a friend!

Great Compression Boots!
on November 21, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
Great compression boots!
This is my first Sharper Image - Powerboost Boots. I have long used a high end brand of compression boots and these less expensive boots do the job almost as well.
So both my wife and I are officers in a major Denver-metro fire department. In our duties, it is vital that we (along with our crews) remain in the highest level of physical condition. That said, we are also the "eldest" amoingst our crews when it comes to working out on a daily basis. And being the oldest, our recovery from working out is NOT what it used to be. These boots are a great device to help recover from hard leg days, or even difficult fire calls where we are on our feet fighting fires for hours.
While these Sharper Image - Powerboost Boots are not as customizeable as the ones I have used, they do the job almost as well. The head unit has a 5 customized settings. After using all 5, we both agreed that the "Pulse" and "Gradual" settings are our preferred modes.
While the ones I have are able to to operte off a rechargeable internal battery, this unit requires to be plugged in. That is the only reason I ma rating these with 4 stars instead of 5.
Great boots!

Dyson WashG1 Is A Beast
on November 12, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
This thing is a beast!
Over the years I have had the opportunity to use Dyson products and I have yet to be dissapointed. This Dyson WashG1 is no different.
In typical Dyson fashion, they are on the premium end in price but also qualty. This WasshG1 most certainly has a high quality feel and build. Setup was simple and use is intuitive. inside, you have the cleaner, it's handle, the base and the charging cradle thagt attaches to the base. From unboxing to use was maybe seven to ten minutes.
We have a fairly large house with 2800 sq feet on the main level, half of wich is hardwood. We also have a 2800 square foot basement that is mostly all hardwood, and then the second level is another 1500 square feet with the hall and bathrooms are hardwood. This WashG1 hndled the main and second floors easily on a single charge. To get the basement, I did have to recharge it, but that is not a knock, it's honestly a great endorsement.
As for the clean, have no fear. This unit lays a nice layer of water and has no problem sucking it back up. We also have a finicky dog who is quite selective about the kibbles he will and will not eat. This unit had no problems picking those up and depositing into the "dry" bin.
Clean up up pretty simple... Remove the dry bin, empty, rinse replace. I will say that it is built to very tight tolerance and removing the tray the first time took some solid handling.
Once that is done, empty to dirty tank, refill the clean tank and you can have it run the self clean mode that cleans the brushes and internalportions of the unit.
End of the day, this is an exceptional hard surface floor cleaner. It comes with a premuim price, but it is also a premium unit.
Great choice.

Versatile And Affordable Air Fryer
on November 5, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
Over the years I have had the opportunity to use several air fryers. While they all do pretty much the same thing, each one has it's unique qualifications that make it a little different from the others, whether that be simple single knob controls, advanced touchscreen controls, muli-use availability or dual/quad cooking area's.
This bella PRO - 4-qt. Touchscreen Slim Air Fryer offers the advanced digital controls and multi-use (as mentioned above), but is also offers a unique cooking surface that bella calls EverGood ceramic in the cooking "basket". The Evergood ceramic (in my testing) offered a few nice features: the cooking was even, the food did not stick and it made for simple clean up. Regarding cleanup, the basket is dishwasher safe, but the EverGood ceramic made wiping out grease when it was there to assure a great clean.
As for use, I mean it's an air fryer. It's simple to use, intuitive and looks great. For multi-use, you can use it as an air fryer, you can bake, reheat, broil and roast.
One of the times we use air fryers is during Thanksgiving, Chrstmas and large gatherings. We can pull out the airfryers that we have and cook different foods at different times and tempuratures. It also saves having to fire up the 220 volt oven for longer periods of time. The convenience is great!
The only drawback (if you can call it that) is that it tops out at 400 degrees. I know, that should be enougyh for most applications, but sometimes you need 450, 500 or even rarely, 550. That said, that is really the only place I could find to critique.
If you are in need of a versatile and affordable air fryer, this is a great choice. End of the day, I would certainly reccomend to a friend!

I really wanted to like, but dissapointing...
on October 24, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
Well, I was really hoping for more out of these Samsung - Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless Earbuds...
The good: Very nice design and a high quality look and feel. The sound is OK (more on that later), but not really any better than several of the other higher-end ear buds I have used from the TIN program.
It was also brilliantly easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S 24. I already had the Samsung Wear on my phone for the Galaxy watch so apiring it was as simple as opening the lid for the Buds case. It immedialtely alerted to my phone and I accepted the pairing and I was up and going.
The Wear app has some nifty features including ANC setting, Sound quality and effects, Earbud controls, Earbuds settings and Find My Earbuds. Each of those is pretty self explanatory so I won't go into specifics.
The touch controls in the "blades" work well and are a pretty cool feature but not really any better or worse than others.
OK, so now the "bad":
I am used to (and really, really like) being able to manipulate my earbuds with one hand when removing and replacing the buds bacl to the case. The way these buds and the case are designed, when removing and repllacing the buds, you need to turn them about 180 degrees... I do not llike that. I don't understand why they designed them that way. I know this is probably just a personal thing, but it's worth noting.
Secondly, and again I realize this also is a "me" thing, but even with the largest eartips, they don't feel like they fit well. And to add to that conclusion, when I run the "Fit Test" from the Wear app, they also conclude that it's a poor fit. O know, my big-old man earholes are not most peopes concern, but for us bigger folks, it is dissapointing that the fit negates some of the ANC.
more.
End of the day, they are OK, but for a premium earbud, I would expect
more.

Another Great Logitech Product!
on October 18, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
My entire family is Android specific, with one odd exception... My wife. She's is in love with her Apple eco-system. I don't know why (nor do my kids know why), but she loves it. So when the opportunity to get this Logitech - Combo Touch for iPad Air 13, I jumped on it knowing that was her iPad...
I have had countless experiences with multiple Logitech products over the years and I can confidently say that I have never had a negative Logitech experience. This Logitech Combo Touch continues that legacy...
Packaging was confident yet minimalistic. The Eco folks would appreciate this.
This unit has a great feel of quality... The keys are confident and the touch is immediate.
As I handed it over to the wife, she had it connected straiuight-away and was using it alomost immediately. That said, I am confident in saying that ease-of-use is great.
After several days of use, this unit is unquestionably an integral part of her iPad and she LOVES it!
End of the day, I would recomend it to a friend who is Apple centric!

Great audio made easy. Meet Wave Neo, a plug-~n-play mic that captures everyday moments at home, in the office, or on the go. It may be easy to use, but to your listeners you~ll sound oh-so smooth and professional. So you can unmute and speak with newfound confidence.

The Elgato - Wave Neo Wired Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone is a great choice if you have need for it!
My daughter (we live in Colorado) has a best friend who lives in Indiana. They are both multi-instrumentalists, singers and original songwriters... Not to brag, but between the two of them, they have over five-hundred songs written, and about two-hundred of those are co-written collaborations between the two if them. As mentioned, they are about 1100 miles apart. But thanks to modern technology, maintaining on-going collaboration is not only possible, but realtively easy.
And here is where this great microphone comes into play... They use a computer recording program that allows for real-time online and offline recording, editing and mixing. When she switched from her previous microphone to this one, the sound quality improved noticably. It was not a drastic improvement, but certainly available to the ear to easily discern. The lows are richer, the highs are crisper, the vocals are "cleaner", the guitar and keys are brighter. Just better sounding all around.
This is not a studio quality mic, but those can run by orders of magnitude more than this one. For4 most consumer grade uses, this will make a great choice. Nice sound, affordable, easy to use and very attractive form.
Well done Elgato!
End of the day, I would reccomend to a freind!!
