Perfect for those with smaller hands
on May 5, 2022
Posted by: msumulong
from Los Angeles
Traditional mice have been around for a long time. Conversely, complaints about aching hands resulting to carpal tunnel syndrome have also been around for a long time. And for the longest time, the solution for this is to have paddings in your mouse pad (and for some paddings in your keyboard too). Logi (or Logitech) has come out with a solution for this with the Logo MX vertical mouse wherein holding the said mouse is akin to making a light handshake. As popular as it was, one main complaint was that it was to too big for a lot of people. Hence came the Logi Lift - a little brother to the Logitech MX vertical mouse. And is aimed at users with small to medium sized hands.
Unlike its big brother, the Logi Lift is powered by one AA battery instead of a rechargeable one. And I understand should last for around two years. Of course there’s no way for me verify this claim in the short time since I’ve received this mouse. But I’ll take Logi’s word for it. The battery door of the Lift is magnetically closed contrary to the snap cover found in most mice.
Once you open the battery door, You’ll also find a unifying receiver. But one of the strengths of the Logi Lift is that it is Bluetooth enabled. And it is simply not limited to connecting to one device but rather three devices. There is a button to toggle modes at the bottom of the mouse. This is perfect for me since I have a gaming desktop, a Mac mini, and a work laptop all connected to one monitor. With this mouse paired with a Logitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard, I can already dispense with the dedicated mouse and keyboard combo for each computer in my desk. This definitely made my home office workspace clean.
Aside from this, the Logi Lift lift has four programmable buttons similar to gaming mice. However, I cannot attest to the latency of this mouse since most gaming mice are wired. But as for ordinary or simpler tasks like writing this review, the Logi Lift greatly suffices. And do note that in order to program this keyboard, you need to have the Logi app. The Logi app has both Apple and Window version.
There is not more to say about this mouse save for the fact that it does its job very well. But do note that in my experience, it quite a while for me to get accustomed to its new design. That said, I would highly recommend this mouse.

A little but awesome flosser
on May 4, 2022
Posted by: msumulong
from Los Angeles
By all means dental flossers have been pretty much the same. Being that one dental tool that you use but not able to carry along when you go around. The Burst Water Flosser takes it to a new level. How, it is a portable and battery operated dental flosser.
So first, what comes out of the box? Well it is a well packaged device with a graphic layout similar to toys making it standout compared to other flossers which come in drab packaging design. Inside the box you’ll find the flosser itself but with the water reservoir detached, a removable flossing tip, a charger with cable and some user manuals.
The flosser comes in pre-charged. But of course you’ll fully charge it by the time you use it regularly. Prior to use, you have to place the flossing tip and the water reservoir. There is a main power button. And when you press and hold the power button, the water flosser is initially set to standard mode and will switch to pulse mode. Another hold and press and you get to turbo mode. I have tried all water modes so as to determine which mode will provide me with the best results. The standard mode seems to work best for me. And as a travel or portable water flosser, this comes with a travel bag.
Overall, the Burst Water Flosser works as advertised. And the only gripe I can think of is that the reservoir can only contain little water that you my have to refill the flosser even before you finish. But in general, I am happy with the product. I would recommend this to all.

Awesome sound but call quality a bit wanting
on May 4, 2022

How Often Used:Daily
The Marshall brand has been around since 1962. Primarily it is known for its line of guitar amplifiers. The brand in the past few years have decided to venture into the consumer space by launching Marshall branded bluetooth speakers and wireless earbuds. And for those who don’t know, Marshall Bluetooth speakers and wireless earbuds are manufactured by Sound Industries, a known OEM manufacturer for Bluetooth audio devices based in Sweden whereas Marshall is based in England. But that does not necessarily mean that Marshall speakers and earbuds are not good. So let me tell you why by reviewing the Marshall Mode II TWS earbuds.
Let’s start with the build quality and design aesthetics. Overall, I like the design aesthetic of the Mode II earbuds. The charging case is small which IMO is good and generally made from plastic. But what I like most about the charging case is that it has a rubberized texture similar in feel to the housing of Marshall amplifiers and speakers. The iconic white Marshall logo is clearly pronounced in the case. The earbuds themselves are made from plastic with a rubberized coating with the white M is displayed. Clearly, this is branding in general. Highlights the status of Marshall. It projects itself as a lifestyle audio device which unlike others need to be touted heavily. But with the Marshall logo, it already speaks for itself.
So now we have established that the Marshall brand is iconic. But what about its performance? First, it boasts of around five hours of continuous playback with an additional twenty hours provided by the charging case. While it’s true that other TWS earbuds can have more battery power, this really becomes moot since wearing earbuds for a five hour stretch is not realistic. You can argue about what about long flights. Still you won’t be wearing your earbuds all the time. You’ll also have a break in listening to music by either sleeping or watching a movie during the long haul flight. And twenty hours is quite sufficient for me since I can go on a work week without having to charge the case. Though I must admit thirty hours seems to be the norm nowadays especially for those so called “no name” brands which still carry their own weight.
The Marshall Mode II can be charged either by USB-C which is pretty much the standard nowadays. And the charging case can also be charged wirelessly though I prefer to use a cable. But then again it’s nice to have and it is also becoming the norm for most earbuds at this price range.
As for audio, I would say that the default or signature of the Marshall Mode II packs a punch. For the average person, the highs and mids are crisp. And bass is very decent. There is a downloadable companion app for both iOS and Android wherein you can customize the earbuds including the audio output though I am already happy with the signature sound. The companion also has a transparency mode, but unfortunately there is no ANC in the mode II. Do note that there are branded earbuds at this price range have ANC.
As for call quality, it is a hit or miss for me. While overall the call quality is acceptable and the calling party’s voice is fairly clear (not crystal sharp), the mics are a bit weak. Often the other party complains about my voice. This is definitely one area Marshall can improve on.
So, overall the Marshall Mode II TWS earbuds is a solid performer but due to the lack of ANC and mores the mediocre call quality allows me to remove one star on my book. But nonetheless if you want rock solid audio (and knowing the earbuds’ limitation), I’d still recommend the Marshall Mode II.

A good "mini" humidifier!
on December 17, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
Humidifiers are quite often bulky and noisy. And for the casual user, the unused water in a seldom used humidifier often gets stale and leads to a stench which negates really purpose of a humidifier. This is also attributed to the expensive filters included which become hard to find when you need replacement ones.
Here comes Pure Enrichment - MistAir Silver 0.4 Gal. (1.5 L) Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier. This is a small countertop humidifier measuring roughly 8”x6”x8”. With a size like this you’d hardly notice it at all and finding a space for it won’t be a problem. And unlike most humidifiers, this does not require filters and is really quite that you really can’t hear it.
Operation of this device is really quite simple. Obviously, you have to fill the tank with water first. And there is just one power on button. The first press turns it on and sets in low. The second press turns on the night light. And the third press sets it to high and the fourth to turn on the night light. The fifth press simply turns of the unit. It’s as simple as that. Moreover, on top of the unit is a control to direct the mist of the unit. And also there is a low water indicator.There is not much to say more about this unit save for the fact that it works as advertised and it works good! And now I am recovering from an illness, it is at my bedside providing me with a breathe of fresh air while I am ad bedrest. I would highly recommend this “mini” humidifier.

A great accessory for your Ring!
on December 15, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The one that bothers all users of battery operated devices is that at one point the battery is eventually going to wear off and is in need of replacement or recharging. The ever popular Ring Video Doorbell is no exception (unless it is wired) is no exception to this. And while the Ring has decent battery life of around two to three months, I must admit it is a hassle the charge the Ring doorbell since you have to unscrew it from its base and charge it for several hours leaving you unsecured during that time. But of course, you can always get a spare battery so that you can just replace it immediately. But the lower priced models no longer have a replaceable battery. This review is more for Ring models which do not have a replaceable battery.
So the most obvious solution to that if you do not have a wired option is to have solar option for that. Here comes the Wasserstein Mountable Solar Charger For Ring Video Doorbell 1 (2nd Generation 2020). Of course the Ring has its own. But sometimes availability and pricing may influence your decision making.

Designed similarly like the Ring solar accessory, the Wasserman Solar Charger is a wall mount with solar panels on the side. You must attach your Ring (I have the Ring 2020 version) to the base which as a USB connector to ensure that your Ring doorbell is being trickle charge. (As of now I couldn’t tell how fast it could charge my doorbell. But I am confident that this product can help in the battery in a charged condition all the time.)
There are screws to fasten your Ring to the solar charger and there definitely mounting screws for your wall. And if that’s not an option, 3M double tape should do the trick. And I myself am having second thoughts on drilling my brick wall. That said, using the Wasserman solar charger is easy peasy. I’d highly recommend it to others.

Good but with some caveats
on December 1, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Belkin - SOUNDFORM Freedom True Wireless Earbuds Environmental Noise Cancelling (ENC) is one of Belkin’s new models and is the first to be compatible with Apple’s Find My Device feature. The earbuds boasts of an eight hour battery life plus an extra 28 hours if used with the included charger.
The included charger has a USB port and a button to connect with your Apple device. Also, the included charging case is Qi enabled giving you the ability to charge wirelessly. This feature is slowly becoming an industry standard. Do note that these earbuds will still work on Android devices via blue tooth sans the Find My Device feature. I, however, could not find any information as to what version of BT is used. Further, these earbuds support AptX which is supported by Android but not Apple. AAC is still the codec used for Apple devices.
The earbuds themselves have a stemmed design which may or not appeal to people. But is more of a user preference. They come with the usual set of three silicone eartips and at first glance seem to fit snugly. I found fitting the earbuds seem quirky to put on or maybe it’s just my ears. However, these earbuds have a weak noise isolation (not canceling). For some this may be a plus since it lets you hear your surroundings and is a preferred trait if you are out and about. As for me, I prefer total isolation.
The touch controls work as advertised. It’s quite easy to use the earbuds even without an app. As mentioned in the description, the Soundform True Wireless earbuds have Environmental Noise Canceling technology. This is not to be confused with Active Noise Cancelling technology wherein other people claim that there’s false advertising. ENC is Belkin’s term for Clear Call Technology which works by cancelling outside noise thereby making your voice clearer to the other line. Please take note of this when considering purchasing this so that you won’t be disappointed. I have tried making calls and was told my voice was fine.
As for music, the highs and mids are fine but bass is lacking. I am not actually a bass person but bass can surely widen the sound of these earbuds. Normally this can be fixed via an app. But unfortunately, these earbuds did not include an app. I wish Belkin would release an app so the functionality of the earbuds can be adjusted to one’s preference. And lastly, firmware updates are done through the Find My App.
There is still a lot to be addressed with these improvements. But currently these are on sale right now and it is still worth looking into.

Great but still needs work
on November 18, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro is touted as the replacement for the Jabra Elite 75t or perhaps the Jabra Elite Active 75t. First thing you’ll notice is that the Elite Pros are said to be 16% smaller than the 75ts. And this may not be noticeable much in the 75ts (which I don’t have), they are much more noticeable compared to the 65ts (which I do have).
Also, the Jabra Elite Pros have a smaller and flatter charging case which has Qi or wireless charging capabilities similar to the 85ts and later variants of the 75ts. And aside from Qi charging, the Elite Pros have a USB-C port. But oddly enough, the charging port is in front of the charging pack. While this may be no big deal for me, it would still raise eyebrows for some.
Notable improvements in the Elite Pros are the extended battery life wherein the earbuds lasts 8-9 hours and up to a maximum of 30 hours. This is a nominal improvement over the 75ts but double that of the 65ts.
The Elite Pros comes with three sets of silicone eartips and does seem to fit well. (The Jabra Soundplus+ app does have a feature to see if the eartips fit well on you.) This is a vast improvement over the fit of the 65ts that I had to purchase memory foam tips as my old 65ts kept on falling. This is not the case for the Elite Pros.
As for the sound quality, the Elite Pros have a well-balanced or conservative sound signature. But owners of the 75ts will say that the Elite Pros lack bass. Perhaps the 75ts cater mor to those who prefer bass heavy music but IMO the Elite Pros have decent bass and when the equalizer is set to bass boost, one can feel bass thumps but not over empowering bass. But then again, sound is subjective. But I can definitely say that the Jabra Elite Pros have a warmer and fuller (having more bass) than the Sony XM3s which I also have and a cleaner and/or crispier sound compared to my 65ts.
The Jabra Elite Pros boasts of bone conducting technology for phone calls. But as per my usage, the voice on the other line seems to be muffled too. In truth my Jabra 65ts seems to be better. The jury is still out on this one. ANC seems to be top notch canceling low frequencies quite well. However, the mids and highs are barely canceled. This seems to be in the territory of Bose and Sony. Still I would rate the Elite Pros’ ANC as rather good.

Still I would rate the Elite Pros’ ANC as rather good.
Now for the downside. Most comments you’ll read about is the lack of multi-point Bluetooth. People are wondering why was this not included since Jabra’s other models have Bluetooth multipoint. Likewise, you have to pair again the Elite Pros whenever you switch devices. I have an iPhone and a Pixel and it is quite cumbersome to pair these earbuds whenever I switch phones. Also for whatever reasons, these top models the lack of the aptX. Sure you may say that AAC/SBC is already great but it makes you wonder that the entry level Elite 3 has aptX support. Also, there have been reports of of static/crackling noise when toggling between ANC/Hear Through/Power which is quite annoying.
To be fair to Jabra, a firmware upgrade has been made by Jabra which already fixed the static issue. Hopefully the BT issues will be addressed soon. Remember, Jabra added ANC to the 75ts through software alone. So, I am confident that Jabra will do justice on these earbuds. But then again, I am not reviewing on the basis of promises alone so I will have to deduct one star for this review and put out a disclaimer on this model until the said issues are addressed though I am confident that Jabra will do the right thing. That said this is still a great pair of earbuds.

A multi-function TENS device
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Beurer - Digital TENS Device maybe a simple TENS device but it actually has some value to it. First, it has rechargeable battery include with a USB-C. (And though not an issue for me, but it most devices save cellphones and TWS earbuds still have the older micro-USB standard.) Size like a medium-sized cell phone the Beurer TENS device is actually a multi-function device. Of course it has the TENS function for muscle pain relief. But since this device emits small electrical pulses, it can also act as an EMS device for muscle development. On top of that it has a heat function which is not really found in TENS devices.
The TENS mode features fifteen programs, three of which you can program yourself. For the EMS mode, you have 35 programs of which three can be self-programmed. But personally, I plan to use the TENS programs more often. And on top of that, there is a heat mode so that you can have a better feel for relaxation. Charging the unit via USB-C takes between one to two hours. As indicated above, there are around fifty programs to choose from. And I highly suggest that you keep the manual for reference.
There are four pads included which is connected to the unit also via USB-C. Again the manual is good reference for where to put these pads in your body. Unfortunately, there are only four gel pads included in this package though I wish it had an extra set. Nonetheless, gel pads are easily available. (I have ordered a thirty-pack from another vendor as of this writing.)
I am quite pleased the Beurer Digital TENS device. This is highly recommended.

This is a handy heat therapy device
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Beurer - Infrared Heat Lamp is a simple device used for pain therapy via infrared heat. This device which oddly looks like a gaming device from the 80s (see picture) is fairly simple to use. Just position the ceramic infrared heating element to your body and power it on. (In essence there is no need to read the manual to operate it. But it is strongly suggested that you do.) It has an adjustable heating time with a maximum of fifteen minutes for safety reasons. Mind you this device gets hot! (Note no specific BTUs were indicated though.)
But what about simply using a heater? Well the advantage of this heat lamp aside from being portable is that it has a wattage of only 300 watts. Compare that to the usual 1500-1800 watts used in a home heater. And if you are worried about getting eye damage, a pair of eye protectors are included as well.
Overall this is a highly recommended device for heat therapy.

Definitely a good product!

I’ve been using electric Dremel type of manicure/pedicure sets for quite some time. But I can clearly state that this Beurer manicure/ pedicure set takes the cake. FIrst my electric manicure set is corded. So a wireless one is a benefit. Second and most important is that the rotation speed of this set is neither too strong nor too weak which is a godsend. It’s sapphire and felt tips just provide the right amount of pressure when filing my nails. Quite often, corded manicure sets tend to have a lot of torque so much care is needed when using those. Beurer set provides several tips and two for calluses. And I must say I haven’t tried all of the tips yet, but I can say that the ones that I did use are far superior to the ones I am using. The sapphire tips alone are subtle to the touch and yet they perform quite well. Also being cordless further gives the advantage of ease of use. This manicure set is a cut above the rest when compared to my corded set. And with going to the salon no longer cheap, this adds to savings on your part. I’d definitely recommend this to everyone.

By rangerdon
This is a fine camera in many ways, but after losing some photos and a conversation with Panasonic, I learned that you must use the included panasonic software to download photos. (I use Picasa.) That makes the camera less than 5 star, since iPhoto would have the same problem - so if you buy this, and it is a fine piece of equipment, use their photofun software to downloard

Internet not exactly slow and processor not bad
November 24, 2016
The wifi performance is good. However I found it odd that when I used fast.com to measure speed, the phone registered 20 mbps which by itself pretty good if you're using a phone. But since I ran it simultaneously with my pc, my pc had a 70 mbps. Also the processor is not bad. It is not the latest and is commonly found in low end or rather entry level android phones. If you want a better phone you might want to consider the POP 4S which is similar but has an octa-core processor at 1.8 GHz, 2GB RAM 13 mp camera with a fingerprint sensor at $170. This sells for $150. So the $20 dollar difference is worth it. But the Black Friday deal sells at $50. So I got this phone. :)

I wanted to like this phone. The specs were just fine. The screen was just fine. The only complaint I had was that the phone reboots frequently. Fresh off a factory reset, it would constantly reboot before I could even set it up. As a software engineer, I am disappointed that software like this can even be released. This is not the way to showcase a brand and the reason for many returns on otherwise perfectly fine hardware.

Letting it rest seems to do the trick.
December 11, 2016
A lot of Alcatel models are like this including my Pop 4+. It seems that if you have a boot loop, let the phone rest for a few minutes then restart. do this even if you have wiped data. But this shouldn't happen at all especially for a new phone.

By ASCX
Alcatel uses older underpowered cpu which slows performance compared to currently available android marshmallow phones. Alcatel does support adoptive SD card storage unlike LG and Samsung. Dual sim is a plus. Needs better processor to be competitive.

POP 4S has a faster processor
December 11, 2016
as mentioned in the title, if you need a faster phone get the 4S. It has a 1.8Ghz processer and 2GB RAM. There are three POP 4 phones - POP 4/POP 4 Plus/POP 4S wherein the 4 Plus is the mid-tier POP 4 phone. But for $49.99 during Black Friday, why not?

By Reona945
The phone keeps restarting even though the battery has more than enough charge. I've tried a hard reset and that hasnt helped. A factory reset stopped the cycle and i managed to use the phone for like 20 minutes and the phone restarted. When we ordered the phone, we also ordered a case from a third party. At first we thought the case was pressing the power button because it was a tight fit but it didnt seem right. There was also an incident i had in the past with the one touch evolve that was exactly the same. I would like to hear back and now if this can be fix :) Have a nice Day!

2 out of 5Reboot loop
By Proz
After having the phone for less than 1 month, I took it on vacation where I didn't have service. On the way my phone started to restart randomly. When I arrived at my destination the phone started into a reboot loop. If I caught it booting up quick enough occasionally I could navigate for a couple minutes. Even after I was able to get wifi connected and any other setting I thought could affect it such as gps location disabled the phone continued into the reboot loop. After researching on many blogs and andriod q and a sites I couldn't find a helpful answer to remedy the issue. I reluctantly did a factory reset but the loop continued. Finally, after returning back home I attempted to use the phone and it returned to "normal". I am very dissatisfied and I am generally very easy to please. I will be looking for another device to replace this asap.

seems to be the gps
December 20, 2016
I also did the factory reset to ease the symptoms. But it seems to be the gps module as then random reboots often occur when I am in my car and mobile. Also when I use Yelp and try to get directions, the phone restarts. No problem when I'm home though.

4 out of 5Good quality, but issue with 4G
By Praveen
I purchased this phone on black Friday because bestbuy was selling at $50, the phone had 2-yrs warranty, and Alcatel is one of the few good brands. I was excited about this purchase thinking that I paid only $50, but my excitement did vanish in a couple of days when I found that the phone restarts itself. After keeping an eye on the phone for a few days, I found that it restarts only when I drive or I am in a remote area. I googled about the issue and luckily found the reason behind restart. I am using T-mobile connection and had turned 4G LTE on. The 4G LTE service of T-mobile is not available in all areas of ABQ and therefore whenever I drove in areas where T-mobile signal was weak, phone used to restart. My phone never restarted in my school or in my house as T-mobile signal is excellent in these places. To fix the issue, I changed the network settings in my phone and set 3G as the default data service and after that it never restarted.
So, if any of you are facing restart issue, just stop using 4G LTE and use 3G. This solution worked for me. Hopefully it might work for you,too.
My finding is - this phone supports 4G only if the strength of the signal is excellent, otherwise, it restarts itself. But I don't know why doesn't it ,like other brands, work in case of bad signal. My friend has samsung phone and she never had the restart issue though we go to all the places together in the same car.
All other features of this phone are like samsung phone - my the most favorite brand. I haven't observed any other issue and the phone works like charm. Speed, sound quality (the default music player doesn't have equalizer, so you might try VLC music player), picture+video quality, and call quality are just superb. Finally I started loving this phone.

Alcatel is aware of this issue
March 13, 2017
I called tech support and was informed that there is an issue with this phone. Alcatel promptly replaced my phone with newer firmware and presumably hardware and the problems of random reboots have gone.

The ROCCAT Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Gaming Mouse was aggressively benchmarked against market-leading symmetrically shaped mice. We wanted a design and shape that instantly felt better from the very first touch. Our aim was to have a shape that made it feel like you had nothing in your hand both in terms of a neutral shape and low weight. We wanted to do this without putting holes in the surface to cut down on mass as many competitors have done. We call it extreme lightweight engineering, and with a weight of only 68g we think the name checks out. The pride and glory of the Burst Pro is the Titan Switch Optical. The first generation of ROCCAT mice to feature the technology, the Titan Switch Optical brings game-changing benefits. Tuned for speed and durability, gamers get a familiar click feel – no learning curve – that functions at the speed of light, and with no more double-click issues. The ROCCAT Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Pro Gaming Mouse features a striking translucent honeycomb shell that gives a smoky, hazy showcase to the AIMO lighting engine while protecting against dirt and dust. Weighing only 68g, the shell also keeps weight to an absolute minimum. As well as the Titan Switch Optical, the Burst Pro features a PhantomFlexTM cable that virtually disappears, for a near-wireless experience, and a 16K dpi Owl-Eye optical sensor. In yet another industry first, the Burst Pro features heat-treated glides that are a step above PTFE mouse feet. They are pre-tuned for incredibly smooth glide right out of the box.
This mouse just got released on 30 October and it sold out?

why is the mx3 the same price as the mx4 if there is no major changes?
Prices are dropping elsewhere. Perhaps when the MX4s actually arrive by the 21st, prices in Best Buy would also lower.

hello i was considering purchasing last years model but i read numerous reviews mentioning that the touch controls would malfunction in cold weather has this issue been adressed?
No one really knows for sure as it is summer. But since Sony doesn't say anything about this, I guess it's safe to assume that the issue hasn't been really solved for now.
