Easy to use all-in-one espresso machine
on April 15, 2023
Posted by: Prat
Philips 1200 is an everyday fully automatic espresso machine with milk frother that makes quality coffee. The entire packaging was well done and uses all cardboard instead of Styrofoam. Make enough room on your kitchen countertop for this not so compact machine. The setup was straight forward and there are instructions included. The unit comes with a water tank, removable brew group. There is also a drip tray that will catch any overflows from brewing or cleaning. One thing you want to order ahead is the water filter that goes in the tank. This will clean and purify water which helps in extending the duration between descaling. The machine will indicate via a light when it is time to change the filter. It would have been nice if the filter was included.
You use the touch control panel to make your drink selection, how strong you want your coffee, and the quantity. You also have the option to select hot water or use the milk frother attachment. This machine can make pretty much all kinds of coffee drinks like latte, cappuccino, americano, etc. The ceramic grinder has a knob that can be adjusted to grind your coffee from coarse to ultra fine powder. The grinder is rated to last at least 20,000 cups. All the parts are dishwasher safe, which means convenient cleaning. When you use it for the first time, it is recommended that the machine takes a few cups of use to perfect the accurate blend of the beans. I have been using espresso machines for a while now, so I am used to the noise it makes. But some might feel it a bit louder when brewing their drinks.
This is a fairly good entry level espresso machine that one can use every day to make tasty and fancy coffee drinks quickly.

Big breeze oscillating fan
on April 14, 2023
Posted by: Prat
Holmes stand fan is a pretty good breeze fan that can help save your electric bill in summer months. This is a easy to use and simple fan to setup. There is instructions included in the box and it comes with all the parts you need to put this together. You don't need any additional tool for the setup. All the parts, including the blades, front and back grill, extension pole, are made of heavy duty plastic and feels study. The base stand is large enough and has metal plate to hold the fan steady.
Using the fan is as easy as pressing the buttons you see on the extension pole. There are 3 speed buttons and the off button. The fan can oscillate as well. This can be controlled by a knob placed on the motor housing behind the rear grill. The fan can also be adjusted lengthwise for different height setting. I like that this fan doesn't make lot of noise. It's actually pretty quiet in low speed. But it does move a lot of air, even good for a large living room. The only thing I miss on this fan is a remote control.
Overall, I'm happy with this fan and will be using it daily to keep the rooms cold without running the air condition all day.

High Quality Durable Professional Clipper/Trimmer
on April 7, 2023
Posted by: Prat
As the name suggests, this is a professional grade high performance clipper and trimmer. It is made with Japanese stainless-steel blades. The entire unit is made of steel, not just the blades or the holder. The metal handle is very ergonomic and feels premium. It comes with rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which means no cord getting in your way. A full charge is supposed to last 2 hours of runtime. I used it for few days in couple of weeks, and the battery is still going. The motor is powerful, yet quiet. It provides a smooth cut without any nicks.
The box and packaging are simple and easy to open. It comes with eight guide combs of assorted sizes, which help in precise and even cutting of the hair. You also get barber scissors, a brush and lubricating oil, a USB cable and adapter for charging, and a case to store all these accessories. The handle has a locking taper control that you can adjust to one of the five settings for a precise cut of your hair. It was an effortless task to use this trimmer. Make sure to use the included oil and brush for longevity of this device. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a barber style professional grade, efficient and convenient clipper and trimmer combo.

Excellent entry level drone
on March 31, 2023
Posted by: Prat
Snaptain P30 is a powerful and compact drone. It comes with built-in GPS and a 4K HDR camera. Being a compact drone and weighing only 249g, you do not need to register the drone on the FAA site. The setup is straightforward and the included instructions are easy to follow. Make sure you fully charge the drone battery as well as the remote battery before you do your flight. It can take up to 3 hours to charge the drone battery. I like that there is a USB C cable included for charging, but make sure to use it with the wall adapter.
The drone has a built-in GPS sensor which makes it easier to fly. The return to home, follow you mode worked well and comes in handy. The drone will also return to the starting point if you lose signal or if you run out of battery. The flight time of the drone is merely 20 min, which feels short. The drone only comes with one battery, and I am not sure if there are ways to buy spare batteries currently. The drone is not recommended to be flown in windy conditions, but it did hold its own when I tried it at minimal wind.
The camera quality on the drone is surprisingly good. It has a 4K/20fps camera that captures images and transmits them in real-time to your phone. Make sure you install a MicroSD card so the pictures and videos can be stored at a higher resolution. Overall, this is an excellent beginner level drone that you can pick up if you are looking to get into the hobby of flying drones.

Teams accessory with dock capabilities
on March 1, 2023
Posted by: Prat
Microsoft Audio Dock is a Teams certified speaker with laptop dock built in. This is designed for someone who works from home and attends a lot of Teams meetings daily. The design and build quality of the device feels premium and rugged. You can use the dock to connect to external monitors via HDMI, or USB C ports. The dock also has a USB A port, which can be used to connect external drives or to connect a charging cable. The dock also supports power passthrough, which can power your laptop for up to 60W. This might be enough for most of the work laptops, but not enough power for a gaming laptop.
The mute button lets you mute and unmute yourself during a call and provides status by lighting up on a call. The Teams button on top of the dock will let you join a meeting, bring up your Teams dial pad, or even raise your hand during a meeting. You can adjust the volume using the + and - buttons as well. There is also a Play/Pause button on the dock that will enable you to answer and end a call as well as leave a meeting. The sound quality of the speakers is pretty decent, and I didn't have any issues hearing people on the call. One thing to consider is that this might look portable in terms of size, but it is not lightweight as a travel accessory for on the go use.
Although you can use it as a speaker for other voice conference applications like Zoom or Google Meet, this is primarily intended to be used for Microsoft Teams with the additional features and functionality. Overall, this is a must have accessory that integrates video conference speaker with a wired dock as a combo device.

Travel accessory at affordable price
on February 27, 2023
Posted by: Prat
This is a portable battery pack primarily designed for Apple devices, although you can use other USB C devices to charge as well. The charger has a kickstand so you can use your device for media while charging. The battery capacity is 5000 mAH, which might give you one additional full charge to your device. There is only one USB C port on the charger. You can use this to charge the battery itself or any other compatible devices. I had no issues using this charger with my phone case on, it provided a full charge and some. It was slightly warm, but nothing uncomfortable when the device is charging.
The charging and remaining battery status is shown using the LED indicator located to the side of the battery. I wish there were more LED light indicators to show the battery percentage instead of a green or red status lights which don't tell you how much of the charge is left. Also, the kickstand can only be used in portrait mode. I do like that you can charge the battery and your device wirelessly at the same time as a passthrough option.
Overall, this is a great MagSafe charger accessory that is better in terms of price and battery capacity compared to the Apple one and an easy choice as a travel accessory.

Budget soundbar with notable features
on January 25, 2023
Posted by: Prat
The Samsung HW-Q60B is the latest mid-tier Q-Series Soundbar from Samsung that comes with excellent features and provides immersive experience. It comes with a wireless Subwoofer, HRDMI Cable, mounting kit, remote control, and user manual. Setting up the soundbar is a breeze. You can use the mounting kit to hang up the soundbar under the TV. If you use the HDMI eARC connection, the devices connected to TV can play sound on the soundbar without any additional connections needed using the audio pass through option. The soundbar also has Bluetooth connectivity and USB port to play music from your cell phone and other devices. There are physical buttons on top of the soundbar that are helpful to change volume, power the soundbar, connection, etc.
The sound quality is amazing, crisp, and clear, while Dolby Atmos and DTX Virtual: X enhances your overall listening experience. The dedicated Game Mode provides optimized audio that syncs with your game audio. One of the best customization features is the ability to change volume of the subwoofers and the soundbar channel volumes, setting up sound profiles, etc. If you have a Samsung TV, you can use the same remote to control the soundbar as well. The soundbar supports Samsung's OneRemote feature. There is a small display screen hidden on the front of the sound bar, which displays the volume levels, connected input, sound profiles, etc.
If you are in the market looking to upgrade your TV speakers with a budget friendly soundbar with splendid features, I highly recommend you give this one a try, especially if you have a Samsung TV.

AIO Home Printer with Inexpensive Ink Refills
on January 25, 2023
Posted by: Prat
HP Smart Tank 5101 is a smart wireless AIO inkjet printer that is suitable for the entire family. The setup is seamless using the HP app and following the instructions. This printer comes with four ink bottles that HP says should last up to 2 years of usage or up to 6000 pages. As an AIO, the printer does have the copy and scan functionality from anywhere using the HP app.
There is a small display and physical buttons on top of the printer that can be used for quick printing options. The printer itself is pretty quiet when printing and smooth. The best part of the printer is that the ink refills are easy and spill free. You just plug the ink bottles into the tank, and let the printer refill the ink tank automatically. The printer doesn't have a paper tray. You will need to feed the papers at the rear of the printer. This also means you must manually flip the paper for two sided printing.
Overall, this is a great compact printer for everyday home printing needs, and I would recommend it if you are looking to upgrade your existing printer or in the market for a new one.

Quality outdoor floodlight camera from Swann
on November 20, 2022
Posted by: Prat
This is the newest all-in-one outdoor floodlight 4K security surveillance camera from Swann. It comes in a nice and compact package which includes the camera itself, mounting hardware, installation, and operating instructions, a 32GB MicroSD card, and some window and door stickers. It was easy to install the camera and set it up using the Swann Security app. You can easily pair it by scanning the QR code on the camera. Make sure you have a junction box close to where you want to mount it so you can wire the floodlight for power. You can install the base mounting bracket first and then attach the camera part to it using the included screw. This is a well thought-out design from Swann that makes the installation a breeze.
The floodlights are very bright and using the app, you have the option to adjust the brightness. The camera has an amazing clear picture quality. You can record in color at night when the lights are on. The unit has 2-way audio, which will enable you to communicate with guests or intruders. You also have the option to activate the siren and flashing lights using the app or setup via motion detection. The heat and motion detection can be customized in the app and areas can be masked off to prevent false trigger.
The camera itself can withstand harsh weather conditions all year round. The best part is that all the recordings are stored locally on the included MicroSD card, which means no monthly fees. The storage can be expanded up to 128GB, which isn't a lot, but much better than the 32GB included card. You can also sign up for Secure+ plans for cloud storage, etc. but it is not required to use this. If you are already invested in the Swann security ecosystem, it's a no brainer to add this floodlight camera to your setup.

Strong garbage disposal with easy install
on November 17, 2022
Posted by: Prat
InSinkerator Badger 5XP is a powerful garbage disposal. The installation was a breeze, and it is surprisingly quiet compared to my old unit. Make sure you have all the necessary tools to install it if you are going to DIY. The garbage disposal is made of galvanized steel and comes with a 3/4 HP motor that is strong and capable of grinding anything you throw at it. It comes with all the necessary hardware for installation - screws, bolts, gasket, tube, flange, stopper, mounting ring, etc.
I like that the power cord pre-installed to the unit. So, no need to do any electrical wiring if you can plug it into an outlet. This Badger has the dishwasher connection if you have the provision to attach the drain line. It is recommended that you run the water every time you use the grinder as it helps with any build ups. You also get a 4-year in-home warranty from InSinkErator. If you are looking to get a new garbage disposal or replace your old one, consider this powerful and quality one you can't go wrong with.

Never second-guess what you see in clear 2K resolution, and give yourself control with pan and tilt functions to monitor your home’s most vital areas. IndoorCam Mini features On-Device AI Human Detection, a technology that identifies humans in the frame and only sends you the notifications that matter.

Can this new Indoor Cam Mini connect to the Eufy HomeBase? I would like for the IndoorDam store data on the base for easy access and control.

What's the difference between the Soundcore selecrt pro and the soundcore motion boom? Will they sound the same?
Soundcode Select Pro will let you connect up to 100 speakers, but they all will play same sound. Soundcode motion boom will let you pair with only one another speaker, but it will be truly in stereo mode. Boom also has bigger batter than the Pro.
