A solid basic blender
on September 30, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Oster® Pulverizing Power Blender with High Speed Motor is in essence a non-descript blender. That said it has several attributes worth noting so that it would affect your purchase decision of a traditional blender. First it has a glass carafe which is a plus for me as not only it gives heft to the product but is also better for flavors eliminating any plastic odors or taste. It also has a metal drive that gives you the assurance it won’t break down so easily to come. A downside though is the blender housing itself is made of plastic and comes in gray somewhat giving it a sense of not being premium since I am used to chrome and black blender housings. That said, it compensates that it does not vibrate much in spite of its 800-watt motor and the suction small as they have good traction. Add to that the heft of the carafe, you can be quite comfortable that the product is stable even though you are not holding it when in use. Of course, it is still prudent to hold the product when in use just in case. There are eight settings namely Stir, Mix, Chop, Blend, Liquify, Puree, Liquify and Pulse though over the years I have only used the equivalent of low, medium, high and pulse. There is not much to look for a blender at this price range. But one thing I can say is that it is still a solid blender in spite of its casing. I’d still recommend this to others.

The little device that could!

Posted by: msumulong

Massagers come in all forms and sizes. The Beurer - Vibrating Massage Ball is one such massager. But the beauty of this massager is that it is both portable and as already described vibrating. Looking like a futuristic detonating device seen in sci-fi action movies, the shape alone an when used with pressure is already providing a soothing relief. Add to those two levels of vibrations (powered by AAA batteries) make a perfect little device you can bring anywhere for you to sooth those aching muscles. Not much more can be said except that it gives a good massage in a handy little package. This is definitely worth purchasing.

The Beurer BR60 Insect Bite Healer uses natural heat to dissolve saliva, venom, and other irritants caused by insect bites. Direct heat application via a ceramic hot plate acceleratres the body's natural healing response to reduce itching and swelling, chemical-free. There is a 6 second application time for regular use, or a short 3 second treatment for sensitive skin. For best results, use immediately after insect bites. Suitable to soothe all types of insects bites like mosquito, spider, bee, chigger, flea, bed bug, wasp, ants, etc. For adults and kids ages 12+ with adult supervision.

It takes a sting to cure a sting!
on September 21, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
Beurer - Insect Bite Healer is an interesting product. At first glance you may even doubt if this is really a gimmick or not. But actually it works and is a nice addition to your first aid kit especially when you’re outdoors. First this device is small and quite honestly looks like a remote control for a popular streaming device named after a search engine.
How it works is generally heating up the insect bite immediately in order for it to work. The immediate heat given by the tiny ceramic healing plates dissolves any saliva or venom by the insect before the latter goes in to effect. One can imagine how this can happen with a device powered only by two AAA batteries. But it actually works. After turning it on, you can select what level of heat it can generate. First is a three second heat pulse aimed for sensitive skin. Second is a sic second heat pulse for less sensitive skin. Mind you this stings. And as a precaution, younger kids may find this as traumatic as the actual insect bite itself. But it gives immediate relief though if used immediately after the insect bite. I’d recommend this to others.

A versatile vacuum cleaner!
on August 10, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
I’ve owned a couple of cordless stick vacuum cleaners but in my honest opinion Shark® Cordless Vertex™ Pro Vacuum is the one cordless vacuum that can actually replace your corded vacuum cleaner. First, the included battery is strong enough to provide power equivalent to a standard vacuum cleaner. But you might say other cordless vacuums can also do the same. Well this vacuum can go on for an hour. But you may say again that so do others. Well yes but not at this price point.
But really, it’s not all about the price alone. One strong feature I like is the Multiflex wand which is actually the main rod being able to fold in order to reach spaces under tables and the like. This feature is notably absent in most stick vacuum cleaners, corded or not corded. Furthermore, the Multiflex wand can fully folded for storage eliminating the need for a hanging rack or even disassembling it for storage. (See pictures.)
Also, the included filters are hand washable unlike most vacuum cleaners outer. This alone adds to cost savings from frequently buying filters for your vacuum. It has a digital display which shows power mode, hard floor or carpet mode. The canister and filters are removable which is pretty standard. It has dual self cleaning fins in the roller and is fairly easy to remove for cleaning. And it has lights which is a convenient feature but I personally don’t really need. Bu it is nice to have. Operation in a nutshell is pretty much simple and for the most part reading the manual can be dispensed with though I still recommend it though.
Accessories inside the package include the battery charger (of course), a crevice tool, a dusting brush and a multi-angle dusting brush. But there is an additional seven tools that can be purchased separately if you need them.
Overall, the Shark® Cordless Vertex™ Pro Vacuum is not only a solid performer but also a value for money vacuum cleaner that can actually replace any regular vacuum cleaner. I would strongly recommend this one compared to other vacuum cleaners out there.

A nifty tool for your videography
on June 22, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The RØDE - Vlogger Kit USB-C Edition is a nice addition to level up your video taking capabilities whether you are a vlogger or simply one who wants to shoot videos. Of course camera phones nowadays takes good videos but audio is sometimes a hit or miss. With this microphone you can now have directional recording for your audio which provides better audio quality compared to the built-in mic in your phone.
Included in the kit si the directional microphone which connects via USB-C (There is a lightning version of this mic too.) A mic clip, a tripod, a light with filters, a deadcat and a charging cable. Usage is pretty much simple, just plug the mic to your phone and you’re good to go. Of course the accessories are there too.
Upon testing this mic, it gives more clarity to the sounds in front of the mic and background noise is reduced significantly. Still, unwanted noises can be recorded and that’s where the deadcat (that furry little thing included) comes in. With the deadcat on, unwnanted noises have mostly been cut off. Also, the mic has a 3.5mm jack wherein you can better monitor the sounds you are recording. Though not really necessary, a companion app is recommended to be installed in your phone. This is where you would be able to update the firmware of your phone. One thing to note tough is that this mic does not offer flash recording wherein you can edit audio and video separately and sync them back together. But then again, this is for the casual vlogger.
The included light for me is to bright if you are vlogging yourself but sufficient enough if you are using it to video other stuff. There are filters included so the you can have some color depth in your video.
I can’t say anymore for this mic save for the fact that it is a nifty addition to your video taking activities.

Blazing fast SSD!
on June 11, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Samsung - 980 PRO 2TB PCIE 4.0 x4 NVMe Gen4 Internal Gaming SSD M.2 is blazing. Though I still have to setup/build a gaming rig with a PCIE 4.0 compatibility for my son. I did try it on his HP Pavilion i5 gaming laptop with only PCIE 3.0. (For those wondering this will work on older motherboards, these SSDs are backwards compatible.)
First, I installed the RAM card on an enclosure and used is as an external drive. Transfer rates average at 95mbps whereas our backup ssd external drives have a transfer rate of a maximum of 48mbps. Then using Samsung’s data migration tool, I was able to clone 240gb of data from our gaming laptop to this drive for roughly an hour (or roughly 4gb per minute). Once done, I have noticed that the SSD was extremely hot. So I then had to purchase a 1 mm copper heatsink with thermal tape.
I then installed it to our laptop and boot times was extremely fast. My estimate was not over thirty seconds perhaps less. (I just counted and our previous SSD boots in within a minute or so.) Using Samsung Magician, I observed the temperature of the SSD was at 46C (34C upon startup) with the heatsink on which is still considered as normal. I would guess that without the heatsink installed, the temperature would be around 60-70C.
The speed of this SSD is still not yet maximized as I have not yet made a PCIe 4.0 based gaming rig. But it sure is definitely fast. One thing to note that at this point in time it is quite expensive as it still considered bleeding edge. Add the fact that there is a chip shortage as of time due to the pandemic hence really increasing the price. That said I would still recommend this SSD but I would also recommend it that you use it on a PCIe 4.0 compatible motherboard to fully maximize its potential.

Value for money
on June 1, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Jlab Work Go Office headset is a value for money pair of headset suited for working at home or in the office. Though the model is made of plastic, it doesn’t feel cheap. It has a boom which can be used left or right by just rotating the boom.
The battery has an impressive life of 45 hours and can be fully charged within two hours. I haven’t fully tested the battery but I now have used around 20 hours by my estimate. But knowing Jlab, the performance of their products are within range of it stated capacity. The headset comes with a USB-C cable and an auxiliary wire for a wired connection.
One thing to note though is that during audio calls, the sound of the speaker on the other end of the call is somewhat muffled. Also, there seems to be a noticeable gap in calls. Further, since these are on-ear headphones the do become a bit warm on your ears. For this I am reducing one star. Otherwise, this is a solid performer.

Bang for the buck TWS!
on June 1, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Jlab GO Air True Wireless earbuds is the younger sibling of the highly popular Jlab Jbuds Air True Wireless earbuds. They are essentially the same save for the charging case which is an open type of case with magnets holding the earbuds and a battery of 5 hours per charge and with a total of 20 hours using the charging case. And like most Jlab TWS, a charging cable is attached to its case.
Included also are three sets of ear gel tips. And these are available in four colors namely black, white, blue, and olive green. The sound signature and feature set of the Jlab GO Air is similar to the Jbuds. At its current price point this is a “bang for the buck” pair of TWS earbuds. I’d highly recommend this pair.

Performs great!
on May 7, 2021
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Shure VP83 Lenshopper condenser microphone has been for eight years (afaik) and is still great run and gun videographers tool next to its elder silbing the VP83F. Why you may ask? It’s because of its simplicity. With a chassis made of metal, it still weighs only a little less than six ounces making it as it were made of plastic but has the build quality you would expect.
The VP83 is powered by a single AA battery which can power the mic for 130 hours. In the power switch there is an option to use the low-cut feature to reduce low frequency sound. There is also a switch to adjust gain for the mic. These can be adjusted to work with your dslr or camcorder to get the best audio possible. While the gain range is limited to -10dB, 0 and +20dB, it’s best to experiment which would yield the best results. In my case, using a -10dB and turning the low-cut filter option gives the best result when used with my Nikon D7200. Your results may vary though depending on your camera and its corresponding settings.
Being a directional microphone, its off-axis performance performs very decent. But my one gripe with the VP83 is that it should have included a deadcat with this microphone. Still the VP83 performs as advertised.

The Filtrete - 310 Sq. Ft. Smart Air Purifier for Large Room is as advertised. Operation is pretty straightforward and practically there is no need to read the manual. Once you have removed the plastic cover of filter itself and plug it in, you’re ready to go!
On top of the air purifier is a touch control panel with the power button on the left then fan controls, a timer, a filter life gauge and a light control button. On the bottom of these controls is an indoor air monitor. Just set the fan to auto and that’s it!
In order to use the smart features of the purifier, just download the app and scan the QR at the inside of the unit at the bottom of the filter. The app has all the feature found in the control panel plus it can also monitor the air outside your home.
There is nothing much more to say about this filter except for that it is a rock solid performer!

Good, but photo download problem
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. :)

Crash
By MarkTwain
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.

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.

POP 4S has a faster processor

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?

When it CAN be used its good, But it cant be used.
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!

Reboot 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.

Great Laptop at Great Price
By BBUser808 from Hawaii
Got this on Black Friday. Considering the price, awesome laptop, used for about a month, no complaints what so ever.

Good 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?

Probably it has not yet arrived in stores.

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.
