Quality and easy set-up

Wow, this was sooo easy to install.
Visual impression / Build –
A little more industrial looking than another touchpad lock I own, but looks nice installed and the larger touch pad does make it much easier to use. Nice finish and solid construction. It passes the BHMA ( Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association) grade 2 certification, which means it meets light commercial requirements and exceeds residential building requirements for build and security.

Packaging /Install -
As soon as you open the box you are greeted with a quality product and packaging.
There are multiple boxes, all independently numbered to correspond with the install steps.
The first step is to download the eufySecurity app onto your phone, sign up account, select the smart lock (WI-FI) and then scan the QR code under the battery compartment. From there. The app will take you to install video that is very well put together. I was able to remove old dead bolt and install this new one in less than 30 minutes. Zero problems. Every step has its own box of parts. Nice touch. A+ for packaging and instructions!
When you are done with the install, simply go back to the app on your phone and select the button ‘installation complete' and the app will walk you through the rest of your steps.
You can set a 4 to 8 digit security code for your lock and even add users with their own code so you can keep track of who is using the lock. You can also schedule a time and/or day in which the users’ access is granted.

Touchpad -
As mentioned above the touchpad has a nice tactile feel and is very easy to use. At night, simply touch any button to light up the number pad.

Works with Alexa and Google Assistant. When I connected the app to Google Home, the eufy app forced me to provide another 6-digit security code to unlock the door.

The app also provides an option to have the lock automatically after a set amount of time.

They also include 5 keys as a backup in case the batteries die. There is also a micro-USB slot on the bottom of the keypad that you can plug a portable battery into if needed.
All tests worked perfectly. I even turned off my WI-FI and Bluetooth to make sure it worked like I was away from home.

The only weird issue I observed was when I go to the settings area of the app, the battery indicator showed low battery and it has only been one day. I did check the batteries and they are good. Once I re-installed I notice that a few minutes later the app icon is now green (Full), so my guess is this is an App glitch during set-up.
Overall, Quality product that is very easy to set up and use.

High-Low Performance Pillows. Available in 2 PillowID sizes for a personal fit and affordable comfort
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago
So when I got the opportunity to review a pillow at this cost, I thought to myself ‘How can a Pillow be worth this kind of money’? Well after sleeping on it for a bit, I have a better appreciation for this product.
I do have a leading manufacturers pillow that was about half the cost of this one and I was pretty happy with it, but once I started sleeping on this pillow, I found myself liking this Bedgear Cosmo more. I let my wife sleep on it a couple of nights to test it out herself and found myself wanting it back.
This is a heavy pillow with supportive layers on both sides, one is firm, and one has a softer feel.
This pillow is almost two pillows in one. It has an outer zip off washable cover that contains 2 compartments with two different types of inner pillows. One is a very pliable soft inner material and the other one feels like some kind of gel/memory foam.
I like that the zip off cover has 10 air vents around the perimeter which makes it very breathable.

I find that when I sleep on this my head stays cool and almost feels weightless Great support all through the night.
These pillows are offered in four different sizes; 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0. Bedgear offers a nice chart that provides a recommendation based on your body type and sleep position. I chose the 1.0 and it is a perfect fit for me. I am a 170lb male with slim build and sleep on my side and back.
I must admit, this is the best, most comfortable pillow I have personally used. Great support, comfort and simply provides me a better night sleep.
I highly recommend.

Who’s in the garden? Are the kids doing their homework yet? Nest Cam is wire-free, so it goes almost anywhere, outside or in. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, so you can get the alerts that are important to you. Listen and speak through the camera right from the Google Home app. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view.* If you miss a notification, you can always go back and see what happened with 3 hours of free event video history.* And it’s easy to install yourself – no outlet or wires required. Nest Camera Battery requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site. *** Stand and cable sold separately

Good Camera with small improvements needed
on October 5, 2021
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago
Easy setup and nice picture quality for 1080p..
Setting up was as easy as downloading Google Home to your phone and adding a new device. There's a QR scanner on the front of the camera that you can scan to connect to the app.
Install and App:
The app itself is intuitive and seems to work smoothly.
You simply open the app click on your camera and you're brought to either alive you or you can click on history to see triggered events from the past. Here you can also go to a ‘more’ setting to turn the camera on and off.
In the history tab you can view a timeline of events, or you can click on the full history to see past events.
This camera only records when it's triggered by an ‘event’ when using the free subscription. You get 3 hours of events total.

Nest Aware subscription sold separately. Continuous video recording requires that you wire Nest Cam with the Weatherproof Cable (sold separately). Familiar face alerts not available on cameras used in Illinois. For $60/yr you can get 30 days of recorded events and for $120/yr you can get 24/7 video history and 60 days backup.
To get to live video you need to open Google Home and tap on the camera icon. I do like how quickly the live video pops up after you press the button. However, I wish that when you clicked on a notification that would take you directly to the event it gave you notice about. My other two devices do this and automatically starts playback.
Camera:
I was kind of surprised Google has not taken this to 2k or 4k, but I will say the quality is very good for 1080p.
I mounted under an eve where I could plug it in with the weatherproof cable (sold separately), so I didn’t have to mess with charging it.
Battery will last you 1-6 months depending on use and event triggers.

If you lose power and Wi-Fi, you have onboard recording for one hour.
The Wi-Fi signal is great, no problems experienced at all.
The camera comes with a very strong magnetic base for easy mounting and removal.
Two-way audio seems to be clear and with very little delay.

Two-way audio seems to be clear and with very little delay.
Zones – you can set up your own zones and set notifications for vehicles, people, animals and all other motion.
Here is an issue that should be considered.
I did notice that I got much better event recording when plugged in. When on battery power it sometimes missed or shortened events that my other cameras (also running on battery) picked up. It missed a car pulling in my driveway but picked it up as the people got out of the car.
I did check my Zone setting and they all appear correct. I also turned off the Automatic battery saver and set the battery usage to ‘More recoding’ This help a little but still has a delayed start to the event when compared to when it is plugged in.
If you use this inside, you most likely won’t have this issue.

The optional stand for inside use is a nice feature with a heavy sturdy base (Sold Separately at $29.99)
Motion detection - 110 degree viewing angle which is okay, but not the widest out there. It states up to 25ft.

Overall, a good quality camera and a nice easy to use app that works with your Google Home account.
If you are looking for 2K + or a wider viewing angle I would not recommend this unit as there are other choices out there for about the same price that seem to do a little better job on event recording when in battery mode. However, if you want to keep everything in the Google home environment and you use the power cable or use in battery mode inside, this would be a good entry point for you.

When first pulling this crockpot out, I found it to be very basic.
It is a nice neutral that would match most kitchens. The few controls that
are offered (4,6,8 or 10 Hour options) makes this easy to use , but I would prefer a few more heating
options (temperature). The locking lid is a great feature, and the seal is tight. The
Crock material is quality and cleaned up beautifully. The rubber feet are nice as well, protecting any surface from scratches..

I liked the small crockpot that came with this and would use this for dips,
but with no heating controls, I will have to monitor the heat when using it.
It will most likely be a lot of stirring and unplugging to make sure nothing
burns.

Wow, super impressed with these Elite 3’s.
on September 10, 2021
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago
First off, the pairing was simple and works with Google fast pair. So every time you connect you get the pop up on your phone to indicate the connection and battery level of each earbud.
The fit is fantastic. Fit straight out of the box. I usually have trouble with earbuds fitting and staying in, so far, no problem with these. They have a narrow neck that fits down the ear canal nicely. They are also very light which helps.
Sound quality is what I would expect from earbuds twice the cost. Jabra uses AptX technology to deliver an amazing clean mix of sound you expect from the Jabra brand. You can choose from preset EQ setting from within the Jabra+ app. I use the BASS setting and I must say I am very impressed with the bass you get from these earbuds.
The app also allows you to select a Hear Through setting which utilizes the mics to let you hear sounds around you better. These don’t have noise canceling, but the noise isolation seems to work as well. I tested them against another set of NC earbuds when using the lawn tractor and they isolated the sound the same.
One of the standout features for me are the Physical buttons. I really prefer this as you can actually feel the press of the button instead of hoping the earbud felt your finger touch.
Speaking of the buttons, you can easily activate the Hear Through or Assistant (Siri, Google, Alexa) with simple touches of the left earbud. You can also assign one touch to Spotify if you prefer.

Call quality is great as well.
Battery life – up to 7 hours when in use (28 hours with case & fast charge) and you get 1 hour of use per 10 minutes of charge in the case.
Bottom line – These earbuds are amazing, especially at this cost. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

Full home cleaning without a cord!
on August 18, 2021
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago
We have been Shark fans over the years and our go-to vacuum has been the ‘DuoClean Shark Lift Away Speed’.
This Shark® Cordless Vertex™ Pro Vacuum has the same head width as the Lift Away and is about 6 lb’s lighter and cleans better. All without a cord.
This Shark® Cordless Vertex™ Pro Vacuum has the same head width as the Lift Away and is about 6 lb’s lighter and cleans better. All without a cord.
I have had two of the Lift Away models and my wife loves them. The only problem we have had with that model over time is the hose at the bottom, that goes from the wand to the vacuum head. After a few years that flexible vacuum tube cracks, and you cannot replace it. You must replace the whole head ($96 at the time). I don’t see a parts list for this Vortex Pro model yet, but it does appear you will be able to take the unit apart if needed. The hose also feels a little more pliable as well. So far so good Shark.
Suction:
This unit cleans great. It features a deep-cleaning DuoClean 2 roller system. You have the soft front roller and a new PowerFins self-cleaning brushroller. The back roller is designed to reduce the hair that wraps around it and pick up more dirt. Between these two rollers you really get a clean floor very quickly.

This vacuum cleans our area rugs pretty well. I have tried multiple vacuums that will not handle these light area rugs at all.
You have three buttons on the control unit. Power button, Hard Floor/ Carpet button and a Suction button. The hard floor setting allows you two slow down the brush roller speed. Then you also have a suction mode which gives you 3 settings, eco mode, deep clean mode, and a boost mode. Between all these options you really can find the mode you need for all cleaning situations.

I like the battery power indicator as well. It shows a large digital readout of percentage of battery left.
Battery Life:
I was a bit concerned with only getting one battery, but I was pleasantly surprised at how long it does last. I was able to clean both floors in my house with one charge. That amounts to about 3 to 4000 square feet of mostly carpet. Pretty impressive.

Ease of Use:
The first thing both my wife and I noticed is that when you are pulling back on the vacuum, the back of the head (wheels) lifts off the ground on thicker high pile carpet. It appears the rear of the head is almost too light. It still appears to clean good regardless. I found that I could keep the head flat to the floor by going slower, applying pressure in a downward fashion on the grip or holding the handle closer to the ground. (-1/2 star)
This does not appear to happen on lower pile carpet or hard floors.

Break away handle:
What a great feature.
You can push a button to break away the handle to get under beds, furniture etc. and fold it completely in half for storage. This is one negative that I always found with other stick vacs as you could never store them without leaning them against a wall or hanging it on a charging rack. The Shark Vertex Pro can stand all by itself when folded in half. LOVE THIS FEATURE!

Attachments:
The pet multi tool, Crevice tools and Dusting brush all work great. The Anti-allergen Dusting brush reaches nicely under things like washers and dryers.
Cleaning:
Hold the vacuum over a garbage can and press the dust cup release button. This makes opening the bottom cover easy to clean the unit, however I found much of the pet fur stayed in the top of the cup, so I had to shake hard or reach in with a tool or my fingers to get it out. It would be nice if the whole dust cup would slide down to help release the dirt off the inner filter, or Shark could include a flexible clean stick to pull or push the dirt out. I do have 2 dogs, so the cup fills with fur every time (-1/2 star).

You also have a pre-motor foam and felt filter to clean along with a post-motor HEPA filter. Manual recommends cleaning (rinse with water) of the Pre-motor filters once per month and post-motor once per year.
The soft Roller comes out easily with a side button located on the side of the head unit. I don’t see a way to remove the back roller.
Overall, I really like this vacuum. Love not having a cord and it simply cleans great.

Light and powerful Laptop

This is a very light (2lb 8oz) 2 in 1 laptop..
This is also a fast little unit since it is equipped with the latest i7 processor (11th gen Intel 1165G7 @ 2.80 GHz)
16 GB RAM

Review of things that stood out to me;
The QLED screen -
Super sharp and bright. It even has an ‘outside’ setting allowing you to brighten even more in those sunny situations. Nice touch sensitivity as well. Windows pen worked great on it.

Speakers-
Pretty average. Speakers are on the bottom, so if sitting on a soft surface the audio will be muted. However, if you flip over the screen to prop up the laptop (Like a tent) speakers are aimed at you. Bluetooth is your best option for music of course.

Backlit keyboard –
this is really a bummer for me (Only drawback really The reason for -1 star). All other laptops I have I can turn on and off the backlit keyboard. With Flex2 Alpha you have a choice of how long it takes for the light to timeout, but you cannot force it to stay on. As you can see in my pictures because of my overhead lighting it makes the keyboard difficult to read the keys at times. I would prefer to keep the backlit keyboard on at all time in this environment.
Smooth and accurate touchpad.

Battery –
Fast charging. If watching videos or a movie, you will get more like 5-6 hours on a full battery.
Battery saver mode 99% charge tells me I have about 8 hours left based on my use. If you do very light work, or it sits idle, then you may get up to 17 hours.

Great mouse.
Easy plug and play with mini USB
Wife says it fits her hand like a glove and loves the style and design.
Fast click/response and smooth scrolling.
Love the 12-month battery life.
I don’t see anything to improve on here.
Highly recommend

I received this optics therapy lamp to review.
I have to be honest I wish it was more towards the winter months when we don't get as much sun here.
Pretty simple device really, you have three light settings low, medium and high to choose from.
I started out with low and then to medium, I have not worked my way up to high.
The instructions state you should put this off to one side and I can see why. It can be glaring out of the side of your eyes.
The light feels well built and looks good

This is the first unit of its kind that I’ve used.
I have tested it for about 2 weeks. I probably turn it on for about 15-20 minutes in the morning to start off the work day.
I think I'm getting some benefit from it but I think I'll really know how well it works when I get into the winter blues. Currently we have a lot of sun to enjoy and get the natural benefits from.
I really look forward to using it during those cold, dark winter months.
I would recommend this to anybody that is sitting in a dark office or room for long periods of time and suffer from lack of energy etc.

It would be nice to have a timer built in so it would shut itself off after X amount of time.
Other than that it’s a solid unit and delivers on its intended use.

ANKER - SOUNDCORE RAVE PARTYCAST PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER
Built well, Waterproof and up up 18 hours battery life. Nice options for a Bluetooth party speaker.
Feels like it is built well and it easy to carry.
I have used it in the back yard and on the boat and have yet to charge it. So battery life is great.. you will get a whole day of this speaker.
When compared to a unit I own that is over 2x the cost I found the sound of the Rave is a little ‘hollow’. Vocals were actually better than the more expensive unit though. Once I tweaked the custom EQ settings I was able to get them pretty close. The bass may have been a little less on the Rave, but still good.
The Bluetooth range is good as well. I have a fairly large yard and could walk anywhere without any connection issues.
Set up was normal for any Bluetooth speaker.. No issues.
Once connected, you should download the Soundcore app to get all the following options”
Light control
- EQ settings
- Bass up
- Play / Pause music
- Light DJ (Manually effect lights, play sounds like drums. scream, etc.)
- Party Games (spin the bottle with sound effects)
As mentioned above, the EQ settings are a nice feature to dial in the sound.

If you are an audiophile, then I suggest you go listen to it and compare to make sure it fits your needs.
I will say that if you get two of these (or a compatible speaker) to connect together you will have amazing sound. This is where the Partycast technology shines. I was actually able to run dual Bluetooth mode from my S20 phone and it sounded fantastic.
The speaker even has a tripod mount on the bottom, So I can imagine putting 1 of these on each side of the party area and you would have a great sounding party.

What is the IP rating for water resistance?
The iPad is a great device, especially if you pair it with an Apple Pencil. A full-fledged computer, the power of a digital work environment literally at your fingertips. But one thing is still not great: the Apple Pencil slipping around on the iPad's glass surface feels unnatural and the pencil tip gets stuck on fingerprints and smudges. It simply doesn't feel right. If you're like us, you miss the accuracy of writing on paper. Paperlike, a screen protector that emulates the natural feel of paper when writing and drawing on the iPad. The most significant challenges in developing the Paperlike were finding the right friction while keeping light refractions at a minimum. And keeping the material smooth enough, so it doesn't eat up the pencil tip like sandpaper (a lot of regular matte screen protectors do that). That's why we developed a unique surface technology called Nanodots. These microbeads are evenly distributed across the foil and allow for a natural paper-feel while keeping as much of your iPad's brilliant display quality as possible. Join tens of thousands of artists, students, and notetakers around the world who love Paperlike. And finally, make your iPad the truly magnificent device it can be.
There are two versions available but no way to specify which version you need. Want to order but want the version that is cut specifically for the 2020 version which has different cutouts from the 2018.
It just has cut outs for the camera area. This is for 2018-2020 version of the 12.9"
