Fun little robotic toy
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
These little Sphero Mini's are the size of a golf ball. They set up easily to work with both Android and IOS. My daughter and I each had one and played tab with them, it was a fun and somewhat challenging time.
There are multiple ways to control these, but we bother prefer the Joystick control by far. You can control the LED colors, play games and even program these to make it do and go where you like. I think this programming aspect is a great way to introduce kids to programming and feel schools or clubs could use these is a fun way.
For the older kid who does not want to do programming, they may get bored with it after awhile. With that said, I feel this would make a fun Christmas gift for kids this year.
The material of the outer shell and the way it opens reminds me of the Easter egg shell that you would hide candy in for the kids. Not sure how durable it is for the long term, but probably very easy and cheap to replace anyway.
Bottom line, fun little robot/toy that most kids (and adults) will get a kick out of.

Nice VR
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
This is my first experience with VR and it is pretty cool.
These are made of a soft foam which makes them comfortable and protects your phone at the same time.
Adjustable lenses work very nice as well. I think the only thing missing would be a remote. For a basic set of VR goggles , these are a winner.
I even got my Note 8 to fit with a little stretching. Not ideal, but it works for most apps.
I look forward to new Apps and video's to try.

Great sound, just wont stay in for me
on September 30, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
By far the best sounding headset I have owned to date. The problem I have is they wont stay in my ears. I had better luck when I wrapped the wire around the top of the ear, but they would still creep out. I ended up using some standard rubber ear bud tips from my stock Samsung headphones that came with my phone and had much better luck. Could be me large ears, as I have a larger flat ear, who knows. My friend tried then on and seemed to have better luck. I would have liked an over the ear hook that you could bend to hold tight to your ear.
OK, all that said, these sound real nice. The Jaybird app allows you to tweak the sound to your personal choice in sound, very nice. Battery lasts as advertised. I got about 4 hrs out of the first charge, then plugged them to the charger clip/battery pack (alone, not plugged into power source) and let sit for awhile. left the house for dinner, came back and they were fully charged. Nice feature when traveling.
Overall I like these because of the sound. Best in ear bass I have heard so far. If they fit my ears out of the box I would give them 5 stars, had to drop 1 star for this.

Fantastic toothbrush
on September 12, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
I did receive this product for my honest unbiased review. So the only bummer was receiving a white unit instead of the black one ;-)
Funny thing is I recently purchased and off brand electric toothbrush that I've been pretty happy with. So this toothbrush had an uphill battle. Well, I must say I am pretty impressed. They both have their own charging stations, but what I like about this unit is the charging happens through a furnished drinking glass that sits atop the charging unit, so when you put your tooth brush in the glass it automatically charges, which is pretty cool. I actually unplugged the charging unit after the first day and the unit remains fully charged after 2 weeks.
The design of the unit is a vast improvement over the old models that would get all gunked up under the brush head as well. I also like the size if the unit as it fits more comfortable in your hand.
It also features a visual pressure sensor to alert you when you are brushing too hard.
The unit comes with multiple brush heads that you can choose from and then set the brushing level to match, I.E. - I used the Gum Health head and setting.
I did notice the back of the brush heads have a rubber edge which I find much nicer than the off brand unit that has a solid plastic back that feels like it will chip your teeth when touched accidentally.
I also really liked the case that it came with for traveling. It is a hard case so your unit wont accidentally turn on in your travel bag.
Almost forgot, this toothbrush has it's own Smartphone App. This app syncs with the brush and can guide you through your session, It shows you where you are brushing and when to move to the next area etc. Pretty cool if you are into technology.
I did give my other brush to the wife as I do like this one a little better than the off brand. That being said, they are very similar at their ability to clean teeth, but this Sonicare is about $150.00 more. Not sure I would spend that much on a toothbrush.
However, if you want a great sonic toothbrush that is very easy to charge, does a great job on your teeth, is built solid and includes a great smart phone app, this is probably your best choice.
Pros:
Ease of Charging
Long Battery life
Built solid
Multiple settings and brush types
Easy clean
Wild Smartphone app to help you clean better
Cons:
Pricey

Great for indoor Grilling
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
Fantastic little grill.
Pros:
Smokeless
Heats up quickly
Juicier meat
Produces grill marks – I was pleasantly surprised because my Infrared gas grill does not
Easy clean up
Cons: (for some people maybe)
Small grilling space if you have a large family - (Figure about 3 burgers)
Takes up a lot of room in pantry / difficult to store
(I know they kind of contradict each other ;-) )
I have used it for hot dogs, chicken breasts, burgers and steak. Wisconsin winters won’t keep me from grilling !
I would definitely recommend this product

Comfortable
on July 24, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
These are very comfortable to wear. Easy to set up as well. I did have some connection issues, cutting in and out at one point when I placed my Note 4 in my back pocket. I moved it to the other pocket and it was better (Maybe your phone will connect better). Bluetooth connection range is pretty short, maybe 20 feet.
Sound is OK, but I would like more bass. I wont remove a star for this as I have yet to find a pair of Bluetooth Earbuds that have provided me the bass I would like to hear. One star lose it for connection stability.
Battery life is great and you get a very nice assortment of tips to fit any ear. I think if you are not an audiophile like me and you want nice sounding and comfortable headset, these could work nice for you.

Excellent Mouse - Game Changer
on July 6, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
This is absolutely the coolest mouse I have ever used.
You can use with 3 computers and can copy and paste from one computer onto the other. Very cool feature. This also allows me to only carry one mouse in my briefcase (I carry both personal and business laptops). The buttons can be programmed to do almost anything. You can connect with very small USB dongle or Bluetooth
This is a rechargeable mouse. They say it lasts up to 70 days on a charge. I have not had it that long, but that is better than I get from the batteries on my current mouse. It also appears to track on any surface.
This is a great buy. Don't hesitate.

NIce, but missing bass
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
I am coming from a system that contains a sub so i was a little skeptical on the "no need for a sub". I was correct. While the sound is good and does fill the room well, i miss the sub woofer. If you combined this bar and a sub you would have a great sounding system.
I did notice that the further away from the unit I sat, the more bass I heard.
The Bluetooth and WIFI connections work great. My wife connects her phone to the speaker and listens to Pandora during the day using the Android app.
I did have trouble with hookup. I was trying to run my HDMI out on the back of my receiver to the soundbar and i could not get it to work. I ended up running HDMI direct from my dish provider and that worked. Trouble is it prevents me from using my reliever to change inputs etc. Perhaps this can be addressed through tech support .
Bottom line, if you are looking for a nice sound system with some nice features (WIFI, Bluetooth streaming) and don't need the booming bass you will be happy. If you are like me that likes the solid boom of a sub, then this might not be for you.

Listen to music hands-free with this LG wireless headset. It lets you answer or ignore a call with voice commands, and the wireless earbuds charge when they're resting inside the neckband, ensuring they're ready for use. The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.

Sound quality is poor
on May 24, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
I received these for free for my honest review. I must say I was excited to try the in-ear Bluetooth style cordless headphones as I had not owned any. So right away I noticed the volume did not go high enough for me. Now I did notice that you can improve this slightly by downloading the Tone and Talk app. And turn up the volume on the EQ. Also turn on the bass feature. Here you can increase the volume a bit.
Sound quality for music is not good. I am a bit of an audiophile, so I was pretty disappointed. No bass. Now if you are not an audiophile, you might be fine with them for communications, listening to talk radio , watch video's etc.
I do like the announcements you here when a message comes in on your phone, for instance, if someone posts a Facebook message you will hear it through your ear bud.
The neckband works well as storage for the ear buds as they simply click into each end and they will charge them as well.
Battery life is not impressive, only about three hours.
I was also disappointed that you do not get stereo sound during a call, only the left ear bud receives the incoming audio. Not huge, just would be nice in louder area’s to hear a bit better.
Here are my pros and cons:
PROS:
Pretty comfortable fit
Light
Voice memo feature
Audible announcements
Neckband storage and charging
Voice Command (easily answers or rejects calls)
CONS:
Sound Quality
Battery Life
No Volume control on ear bud or neckband
Bottom Line: If I paid for these I would return them for something better. At this cost I expected much better sound, battery life etc.

Best Carpet Cleaner I have used
on May 16, 2017
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
I really love this carpet cleaner. Believe it or not, one of my dogs actually got sick and made a mess of the carpet the day before this arrived. What timing. As you can imagine I was eager to use this to see what it could do.
Set up was pretty simple. I only had a little difficulty installing the handle. I might have been the angle so pay close attention to that. Other than that I simply followed the directions and it was a breeze.
I have had carpet cleaners in the past and still have a portable one, but this is defiantly the best to date.
Your clean water solution goes in the top container which is very simple to fill and attach. The dirty water is in the container below. Also easy to remove and empty.
I cleaned my daughter’s room first and it did a really nice job. Wow, was the water was dirty. I did fill the container with the cleaning solution and water to the top and used all of it. So if you plan on cleaning you whole house, you will need to fill multiple times. (No different than s rental machine) I think I would have done the rest of the house if I hadn’t recently had some major surgery, so once fully healed I will clean the rest of the rooms. The unit is heavier than a vacuum and seems to be built quite well.
You will notice that no matter how well you vacuum first, you will get a lot of pet fur showing up on the carpet once it gets wet. I had a garbage can nearby to toss the balls of fur as I went so I didn’t suck them back up.
The dual brushes really clean and lift the carpet nicely. Bissell markets the fact that this will clean better than the leading rental and I will have to agree.
Clean up is pretty easy as well. You can remove the area the water gets sucked up and the roller covers in case hair gets wrapped around them. Bissell also provides a flexible tool to remove any pet fur stuck in the intake, so they thought of everything.
There is even a Clean Shot button you can depress to shoot a stream of solution onto a tough spot. Works well, but keep your foot on the button because it almost works too fast.
This unit also has a hose you can connect to the top of the head unit for small cleanup spots. Works good and no need then to clean the larger head unit. I did have a little trouble getting the chemical to spray from the Dry/Wet attachment at first. I then reattached and it seemed to work fine. I will say I let the standard smaller attachment when using this hose better for the small area I did.
Overall, I really like this machine. Don’ t hesitate to purchase if you are in the market.

Are these earbuds usable with Sony TV when we already are wireless ready?

If your TV can pair to Bluetooth headphones it should work. I did get them connected to my Samsung with no problem.

How long does the battery actually last, it says 14 hrs, I plan on using them at work for about 10 hrs straight , on max volume?

I can't say at MAX volume, but I use mine all day at work on and off and have not approached empty. I would think they would get you through your day. I would be cautions though, running at max volume for 10 hrs/day everyday may not be healthy in the long run.

Has anyone experienced any skin irritation in your ears from the silicone ear tips on these earbuds? I've experienced this with LG's silicone ear tips on their neckband style headphones and had to get foam tips to fix the issue.

No problems here. Sounds like you have may have a Silicone allergy.

My camera will not connect . Is it because the batteries are in the camera while it is plugged in? If so that is stupid. But please let me know everything in my wireless rig works except this very expensive and so for useless and temperamental junk. Peace

Mine works fine with batteries and plugged in. not even sure how to take batteries out.

Enjoy crystal-clear phone calls with these Jabra wireless headphones. Dual-microphone technology eliminates background noise, so your voice is heard clearly, and the flexible wire neckband retains its shape and contours for maximum daily comfort. These water-resistant Jabra wireless headphones provide eight hours of battery life for all-day performance before needing to charge.
 

Can you charge these using a computer USB port? My PC sees it as a USB device then does not charge, regardless of the port attached to. Using supplied cable and USB 2 or 3 ports. Using a cell phone charger does as expected.

Yes, It works on both of my laptops.
