Booming Sound, great battery life

I’ve had the pleasure of listening to music and movies with the Sony SRS-XB33 speaker for the last 48 hours and I am pretty impressed with it. It is a little bigger than I was expecting it to be, but it is still very portable. The speaker has little rubber feet on the bottom that keep the speaker from sliding or vibrating too much off smooth surfaces. Build quality is very strong and sturdy. It feels like it would definitely survive multiple drops. It is splash proof and dust proof, I feel confident that I would be able to take this to the beach , leave out in the back yard while grilling and keep it poolside without worrying about dust , dirt or water damaging the speaker. It charges with a USB-C cable and charged to full in just a couple of hours. Sony doesn’t provide a charging brick but you can plug in the cable to any USB port or plug you might already own. The speaker has a built in usb charging port that will charge your phone! Very neat and convenient feature. The one thing it is missing though is an aux port. So you will only be able to connect the speaker with Bluetooth capable devices. I’ve been using the speaker to listen to music while out in the yard and on the patio. The speaker gets very loud and has good thumping bass. The free downloadable app will let you control the EQ and party lights on the speaker. The lights sync and flash / strobe with the music. You can turn them off if they bother you. I connected the speaker to my projector via Bluetooth, and the movies I watched sounded great through this speaker. I watched about 6 hours worth of movies and shows with this speaker on and the battery held up like a champ. I still haven’t needed to charge it after two days of use. Would I recommend this to a friend? Definitely. Every genre of music I streamed through the speaker sounded great. I am definitely taking this speaker everywhere with me.
Pros: Great sound quality
Long battery life
Rugged build quality
Party lights provide cool ambience, and can be tweaked to your liking within the free app.

Lightweight and powerful
on June 5, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa

This cordless vacuum is kind of a beast. It is honestly the most powerful vacuum I have ever used. I was amazed at how much dust it sucked out of my medium sized bedroom rug. The rug looked clean and the vacuum sucked out soooo much dust and hair. I was mind blown. I will definitely be using this on my rugs and carpet a couple times a week. The hair it picked up got all wrapped up tightly on the roller brush that is in the head / carpet attachment. It is so easy to clean up though, It has a "coin slot" cover on the side that gives you easy access to the roller brush. Honestly the whole vacuum is brilliantly designed, and makes cleaning it up an easy task. The canister comes off with the press of a tab, for easy trash and dust disposal. The filter and compartment is also removable allowing you to rinse out the canister of any dust left behind. Hoover includes two batteries, a single battery charger, an extension :"stick" a carpet cleaning head with roller brush, a hard floor attachment, crevice cleaner and a brush head attachment. It is light enough to use with or without the extension stick. I plan on using this to vacuum my cars interior with the smaller attachments. This vacuum can tackle any chore you throw at it. It has an eco mode , normal mode and carpet mode. I don't use eco mode much, unless I just need to do a light spot clean. Carpet mode should be called Beast Mode. It literally turns on the turbo and starts sucking up everything in its path. Only problem with it is that It kills the battery within 5 minutes. You'll probably need two batteries to clean a large carpet that covers a bedroom. Normal mode is alright, I would recommend you keep it in normal mode most the time. Use Beast Mode only when you have both batteries fully charged and ready to go. I wish the battery would last a bit longer.. but it is understandable, This vacuum is very powerful but remains lightweight and provides the convenience of being cordless. Would I recommend this to a friend.? Absolutely. It is fantastic for cleaning just about every inch of your home. It'll be great for the car as well!

The Hoover ONEPWR Dual Bay Charger makes whole-home cleaning with the ONEPWR™ System easier than ever. Tuck it away in a laundry room or pantry to charge two batteries sequentially, bringing the first battery docked to a full charge before charging the second battery. Perfect for homes with multiple tools or batteries, it charges and stores any two ONEPWR™ batteries so you’re always ready to tackle every mess with a full charge.

Only charges one battery at a time
on June 5, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
The Hoover ONEPWR battery charger is a product that you don't really need, but is / could be somewhat convenient. I know that statement makes no sense, but it is the product designs fault. I assumed that this would charge two battery's at the same time. It doesn't. It only charges one battery at a time. It will charge the first battery you drop into the slot, and the other will just sit there idle. When one is done charging, the other will begin charging. If you pull out a battery while its charging, it will automatically start charging the other and so on and so on. I could see this being convenient if you own more than two batteries. Problem is, this thing does not charge the batteries fast enough. The battery that is left in one of the slots will not be done charging by the time you deplete the battery you pulled out for use. So in my opinion, it makes this charger ineffective. You might as well charge one battery at a time with the single battery charger your vacuum came with, The only convenience it provides is the ability to charge two batteries without having to come back to swap the batteries from a charger. The charger itself feels like lightweight plastic. The battery status and indicator lights are a little difficult to understand. I think a yellow / white light means the batteries are charging normally and red light may mean it isnt. I never experienced any such problems though. Overall.. would I recommend this thing as a stand alone purchase to a friend? Hmmm... no. Unless you have more than two batteries. I honestly feel like hoover should include this device in the box if they are going to include two batteries with their vacuums. Otherwise, the charger is just too big and bulky and doesn't provide any must own benefits for your batteries.

Soooooothing
on May 7, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
Let me start by saying that this is the first home therapy device I've ever owned and it could not have come at a better time. I used to treat myself to a massage now and then, but since everything is closed currently because of Covid, having one of these in my home right now is essential. I have a physically demanding job and I try to exercise often. The Theragun Prime is very easy to use and the free downloadable app guides you every step of the way. The app has a plethora of activities and guided therapy tutorials and presets for you to choose from and explore.. Got lower back pain? or want to wind down and release some tension before sleep? The app has you covered. The app will set a timer and you can quickly adjust the speed within the app. It provides helpful directions with photos of where to pass the machine along your body.You can even save a daily routine from the start of your day til you're ready for bed. I downloaded the app on my iPhone and connecting the device via bluetooth is simple and quick. The app will find and pair the device for you automatically. The design of the theragun is genius and handles well whether you're a lefty or right handed. I do find that I have to juggle it a little still for working on my back and lower back but the rest of my body is easy to reach with this. I just get someone to help me with the harder to reach areas. I'm 6 foot tall and not the most flexible person lol. Your mileage may vary. This particular model comes with 4 attachments. A dampener, a "thumb" , a ball, and a cone. It also comes with a charging cord. Battery life is excellent.This is the very first theragun I've ever owned so I can't comment on whether it is quieter than previous models. I don't find the machine to be too loud, the hum is somewhat relaxing for me but it is quite strong and makes me feel like the whole room is vibrating lol. Personally I find the full speed setting to be a bit much, I have to turn down the speed a little when doing my upper back or neck and shoulders. It made my teeth rattle when i pressed it on the side and back of my neck while standing up. I personally decided to shove a rag between my teeth to bite on while massaging my neck and shoulders so I don't clank my teeth together too much. Laying in a prone position on the bed helps damper the vibrations also. Would I recommend this to a friend? YES. Now more than ever. Will it replace a professional masseuse ? Probably not.But being able to massage and soothe myself at home or on the go whenever I am achy or sore has been awesome. Whether you work in an office, are an athlete or just want to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain your muscles, bones and ligaments. I think you will find this therapy gun to be a great investment.

Great for small rooms, very easy to install
on April 23, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
Installed this air conditioner in a room that is about 20x10 feet. It’s perfect for the room. I leave the door open to the room and it even cools the next room over a tiny bit also. It’s remarkably quiet, much quieter than the air conditioner I had before. It doesn’t bother me at night when I’m trying to sleep. The Eco mode works with a thermostat that adjusts fan speed and temperature to keep your room at your selected temperature or you can adjust it manually. The filter is also really easy to remove for cleaning. I like it’s small , modern design. It doesn’t look bad sitting on my window sill. Installing it into the window was really easy. All you need to do is screw in the top plate into the ac unit, the side plastic guards slide in quick and easy. Have a second person help you lift it into the window from outside while aligning it. It comes with screws and plates to keep your window from vibrating and to keep the guards open and secured. The air conditioner also has a very convenient hole under in the back to allow water to drain so it doesn’t build up and freeze up in your unit. You simply remove the plastic plug covering the drain hole and you’re good to go. A/C also comes with a small remote control with Braille markings! Pretty cool. I’d recommend this to anyone lookin to cool down their bedroom. It keeps me nice and cool in this south Texas heat.

Great Value for your CD collection
on April 18, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
I’m what you’d call an “Elder Millenial” just old enough to have a vast CD collection that I started buying when I got my first job in High School. I hadn’t used them in a while, but it still is satisfying to grab a disc, load it into the CD player and press play. This Memorex CD player feels kinda like the ones I used to own and use in high school and in my
Early 20s. It feels sturdy yet flimsy. I don’t think it would survive a fall from waist height. So I don’t plan on jogging with this anywhere. I strictly use it while sitting at home playing video games or doing work on my laptop. It’s a great way to listen to an album distraction free. No notifications or phone calls and texts from my phone to interrupt my music. This is honestly the best part about having a dedicated music / cd player. The uninterrupted music experience alone is worth the purchase. I wanted to give it a 4 star rating because even though it has blue tooth, I could not get any of my Bluetooth headphones to pair with it. My headphones aren’t smart enough on their own to just connect to the CD player. However, I believe this would be great for someone who owns a car that has Bluetooth capability but no CD player. The CD player pairs easily with a cars Bluetooth system. This is a great and affordable way to have a CD player in your car. The CD player comes with a pair of headphones, they’re fine, and they work, but I always recommend using a pair of over the ear headphones for an immersive music listening experience. Battery life is fantastic. I’m going on about 5 hours of music listening with the same two AA batteries installed. There’s no mention of battery life. But this certainly runs longer than the CD players I owned back in high school. Build quality is as expected. Not the most heavy duty but not too cheap either. Don’t drop it though. The electronic skip protection works good enough to walk around with it in hand and I’m sure it’ll work great in the car too. I’m happy with it, I think you will be also.

Premium Design, Great Sound Quality, ANC works
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
Alright so, Lets start this review with a little bit of info about what ya get in the box and the build quality of these headphones.
These headphones come with a very nice canvas carrying bag with the Marshall logo on it. You also get a 3.5mm aux cable and a usb-C charging cable and a user manual. There is no power adapter, but you can connect the cable to any other usb charger you may already own, The 3.5mm cable is not needed to use these headphones. It is strictly for a wired connection. I believe the headphones do need to have the battery charged in order for the active noise cancelling feature to work. The headphones have 40mm drivers and a frequency range of 20hz to 20 kHz. The headphones are made of premium quality materials. The leather looks, and smells genuine. The foam padding on the headband and ear cups are very squishy and comfortable. I've been sitting here listening to music for a little over three hours and my ears and head have not experienced any fatigue or pain. The material over the foam padding is also very soft and comfortable. The ear cups swivel in either direction for easy storing, and for you DJs out there that want to have an ear open to monitor. I do however, feel like the ear cups are a little too narrow and short for my ears. The padding on the bottom rests on my ear lobe and not over / around my ears. Just a personal grievance, your experience may be better. I have a fairly large head, my ears are probably bigger than average and also I have 0 Gauge tunnel jewelry in my ear lobes. BUT they are still quite comfortable so its not a big deal for me. Pairing these to my iPhone was quick and easy, you can download the Marshall bluetooth app for battery information and to choose between 7 EQ profiles or customize your own. I personally feel the default Marshall EQ profile is the best! It has a nice warm tone yet mids and treble come in nice and clear. I listen to a very broad range of music. Metal, Classical, Blues, Spanish Rock, you name it. It's on my playlist. Guitars come in nice and fuzzy, bass punchy, vocals and cymbals nice and clear. Every song, podcast and video I've listened to with these headphones have all sounded pretty good. There are three buttons on the headphones that you can customize. The "M-Button" which I have chosen to use to activate Siri on my iPhone. Works great, makes asking siri a question a quick easy task. The ANC button allows you to turn on/off the active noise cancelling function and there's a 4 way toggle gold knob. Press to pause, up and down for volume adjustment, left and right for skip or rewind. Also quite convenient, and very easy to use. No accidental presses if you happen to rub your ear cups against your shoulders. You can use the Marshall app to set the M button to either Siri or Google Assistant depending on your preferred device and operating system.
Lol oh and the headphones play a little electric guitar strum to let you know they are powering on. I couldn't help but smile. I'm an electric guitar player so I Love the gimmick.Would I recommend these to a friend? Yes! The battery life on these headphones is amazing. Marshall claims upto 30 hours. If my math is right, That sounds about right. Battery life has only dropped 10 % in about 3 hours of use. The headphones sound great , very cool design and made of premium materials.

Essential Manscaping Kit
on February 20, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
This trimmer is a very nice and affordable hair trimmer. Let me start by saying that I'm one of those guys that doesn't have a very hairy body. So I don't really need too many manscaping tools. I feel this trimmer is good enough for my needs. I trimmed the little bit of nose hairs that stick out past my nostril, i wouldn't recommend going to deep with it. You want to leave some hairs in your nose for health reasons. Those hairs are there for a reason! It did a great job trimming the little tiny unsightly strays. I used the included brow trimming attachment to trim some body hair on my tummy and pelvis without issues. I know this product isn't intended for that, but it works for me. The included trimmer guards are nice and I didn't experience any nicks or cuts with the trimmer. You don't need to apply much pressure, the blades are great and require just the lightest touch to trim your hair. That being said, I could see it being a great tool for trimming your sideburns and a lil facial hair as well. I managed to accidentally drop the trimmer from belly height into a tub half full of water while it was on and it survived! I wouldn't recommend taking it under water but its safe to say that it is water resistant.
It includes two different sized trim guards, an ear and nose trimmer and 1 AA battery to power the trimmer and a cleaning brush. It has excellent build quality and I recommend this if you're like me and just need a small easy to use trimmer for a lil clean up here and there.
Pros - Very nice build quality,
water resistant
comes with extra attachments and a battery
Blade guards make easy and safe to use
Cons - Zero

Fantastic Gaming Headset
on February 5, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
I am going to go ahead and say that this gaming headset is out of this world! Alienware have designed and produced a great gaming headset. I absolutely love the design. The Lunar Light is a pretty awesome color. It's an off white, kinda grayish, like the moon! The alien logo on the ear cups is a nice touch. There is no RGB lighting on this headset but that is totally fine with me. The unboxing experience is nice, The headset comes with a 3.5mm to USB cable, and a 3.5 to 3.5mm cable. It also comes with a splitter if you need to plug the headset into a headphone/microphone ports on your computer. I chose to use the USB cable to plug it into my gaming laptop. Windows automatically detects and installs a driver for the headset, but you may need to download Alienwares software for the 7.1 virtual surround sound. Set up is a breeze and you'll be up and running in no time.The software will scan for your installed games and you can launch games from within the alienware software. The headset itself feels strong and sturdy. The headband has enough flex and the padding on it is comfortable. The ear cups slide up and down to adjust to your head size. The foam pads on the ear cups are very comfortable as well and isolate sound quite well. They do a decent job at blocking sounds and keeping you immersed in your video game. I really like the retractable microphone. It tucks away nice and neat when you are not using it. It is a great design, I do not like fiddling with microphones that fold up, The ear cups swivel and lay flat for easy storage. Both included cables have volume buttons and a sliding switch that will mute the microphone. These headphones get pretty loud. I played Resident Evil 2 remake with this headset and I could hear every blood curdling snarl from the zombies. Playing the game with this headset on honestly made the game much scarier lol, You can hear every little detail in the sounds. The virtual surround works pretty good, I could tell where the sounds were coming from in the games I tested it with. I knew the zombies were in the room behind me or to the left in front of me while walking down halls. Sound quality from the 50mm drivers is excellent, Bass is pretty full and you can feel thuds from explosions and gun shots. Mids and highs are well balanced as well. The microphone is discord certified, apparently that's kind of a big deal. The friends I spoke to all told me my voice came through nice and clear, no echos, and they couldn't hear my squeaky chair in the background. Bonus points! You will obviously need to download the software to take advantage of the 7.1 virtual surround sound, but these headphones sound pretty great in plain ole stereo surround as well. For those of you that are curious, Yes this headset also works with a PS4 Pro through USB port. I thought that was pretty awesome.It won't have the 7.1 surround when using it with the playstation but honestly these headphones are a great option for your console too. You can adjust the volume with the in line cable, which is something you can't do with other usb headsets on the PS4. It did not work with my Xbox One through USB, you'll have to use the 3.5mm cable and plug it into your xbox controller. I highly recommend this gaming headset, especially if you own a gaming PC and Gaming Consoles. Alienware got alot of things right with these and they are an amazing value.
Pros - Comfortable, 7.1 Surround is immersive, Great sound quality,
Retractable Mic. Discord Certified.
Compatibility. Great for gamers who only want to use 1 headset for their PC and consoles.

Excellent Projector but with caveats
on January 5, 2020
Posted by: Ponskippa
from San Antonio, TX
The Miroir HD Pro M289 projector sits in an awkward middle ground. I call it an awkward middle ground because it has so many great things going for it, but a couple of minor annoyances that keep me from fully recommending it to a friend. I'll start with the things I love about this projector.
First and most importantly it is 1080P! You will be hard pressed to find another projector in this price range, and size that is true 1080P.
Most of my media library is in 1080P, so image quality is is great! When the projector is set up at 80-100 inches, picture quality was still very good. Text was sharp and crisp, and I could not see any pixelation from about 6 feet away. The projector is quite bright for its size, but it works best in a dark / very dimly lit room. Miroir claims it is 400 ansi lumens, and I think that sounds about right. Colors and Contrast are also quite nice if you use an actual projector screen when set up. Colors are contrast are still decent and usable on a white or grey wall in your home. Build quality is excellent. It has a nice sturdy build, and I am not worried about just tossing it in my backpack loosely when I'm on the go. The projector lens is protected with a sliding cover that also acts as its On/Off switch. It has an HDMI input, a USB C input that can charge it and also be used as a display input. There is a standard USB port that can power a streaming stick or any other media device that you connect to the projector. The projector comes with a proprietary charging cord, but you can also use a USB C charging brick. The battery charges in about 2 hours, and the battery lasts about 3 hours when not connected. The projector also has a small convenient kick stand tucked in under it that you can use to prop it up a bit in a pinch! It also has a standard tripod mount underneath that can be used on any tripod or monopod.
First and most importantly it is 1080P! You will be hard pressed to find another projector in this price range, and size that is true 1080P.
Most of my media library is in 1080P, so image quality is is great! When the projector is set up at 80-100 inches, picture quality was still very good.

Stay with me! Let me mention the things I don't like about this projector.
The first thing you'll notice is that the speakers aren't very great. Don't get me wrong, they are usable.. but I would not recommend you try to use them for an immersive movie watching experience. They can get loud , considering its size, but they have no OOMPH, no bass, no depth and they have that tinny sound that is just irritating at max volume.
Second, it has a manual focus slider. And it is so "precise" that the slightest touch will throw the image out of focus. Given, it does not easily move , it takes a little forceful nudge to move the focus slider, so you don't have to worry about accidental movements putting it out of focus. But it takes a few tries to get the image in focus. I wish this baby had an autofocus engine. There is no remote control for this so you'll have to sit near the projector to make all your adjustments, and the buttons are flat and hard to find in the dark. In a completely dark room, I found myself pressing the input switch button instead of the volume up or down buttons when trying to raise or lower the volume. The buttons are close together and they are all flat so youre bound to press the wrong button in a dark room when trying to adjust volume.
Lastly. There is no built in OS. This projector heavily relies on you connecting a laptop, a tablet, a phone , a media stick to it. Everything you have to connect to this projector suddenly makes it not so portable.

This is me nit picking, and all the good things about this projector outweigh the bad. But don't purchase this projector if you don't want to carry around a laptop/ tablet, multiple adapters and speakers to connect to this for the best experience. I'd recommend this projector to business people or professionals looking for a portable projector to use when making presentations. I believe this is who this projector is targeted at. It would make a perfect projector for those situations.

Blink video door bell does it detect you even if you don't press the door bell button? Or how it works to notify you? Would you receive alert notification if some one is at door just standing?
Yes, you can choose to have motion detection on and or just doorbell. They both work great. Motion detection is so good on it that it captured a video of my neighbors cat running by chasing a squirrel lol

i have a hard time with my airpods pro my ears are just so small and they always fall out. Will these work better? i just want something that won't fall out so much and use all-day
That’s hard to say, since Ive never had issues with AirPods or AirPods Pro falling out of my ear, but I can say that these are very comfortable. They come with three different sizes of rubber tips so you can find a fit that works for you. But I think the design of these are great and they shouldn’t fall out.
