Quick Install - Great Resolution
on November 13, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
Setting up was straight forward and quick. My set-up took maybe 30-40 minutes total, including camera installations.
The cameras are 100% wire-free because they do have rechargeable Li-ion batteries which are included But you may also hard wire (plug them in)
Cameras record in 1080p HD and the results to me are very clear and detailed. They also have night vision, motion sensing and 2-Way Audio and are weather resistant.
The base unit has to be plugged into a wall outlet and into your router and also includes a 100+ dB alarm siren which you can activate remotely from anywhere with your phone as long as you've D/L the app...Of course!
This system also works with Amazons Alexa and you can also use an Amazon TV fire stick to tell it to show a cameras view onto your TV.
Cameras also have a fairly wide viewing angle of about 130 degrees or so and due to my camera placement, I am able to see everything I need to Plus More!
You can also set up a local back-up storage for yourself by simply plugging in a USB drive to the base station.
Netgear does supply a rolling 7-Days of recording available to you at No Charge...BUT it will only record the Audio & Motion Triggered Situations, But it is still 7 days (rolling) at no charge and is sufficient for most situations in my opinion.
You also may opt for paid services including 24/7 complete recording that will store in "the cloud" for up to 60 days (depending on plan)

A Great Addition To The Hoover Vacuum Family!
The Cordless Fusion Pet Is A Very Versatile Vacuum That You Can Use For Not Only Carpeted Floors, But Also For Bare, Wood & Tile Floors As Well With A Simple Touch Control.
The Cordless Fusion Pet Is A Very Versatile Vacuum That You Can Use For Not Only Carpeted Floors, But Also For Bare, Wood & Tile Floors As Well With A Simple Touch Control.
You Can Also Use This To Vacuum Up High (like ceilings) OR Even As A Handheld Vacuum.
It Is Very Simple To Assemble AND Disassemble In Order To Modify It For Your Different Vacuuming Preferences.
As A Floor Vacuum, It Has An Easy Swivel Power Head Which Takes Tight Turns With Ease With Just A Slight Turn Of The Wrist.
It Also Includes A Crack/Crevice Tool, A Soft Bristle Dusting Brush, A Pet Upholstery Tool. Also The Wall Mount That You Also Store The Tools Onto.

The Dashboard Also Has Indicator Lights That Show You Which Type Of Floor Mode You Are Using and Also A Battery Power Level Indicator & Maintenance Indicators For When It Needs Emptied or Develops A Clog.
The Trigger To Power The Vacuum Can Simply Be Held To Run The Vacuum OR Press Twice To Keep It On Without Having To Hold It. Then You Simply Press Again To Turn It Off. This Can Be Very Convenient For People That Get Hand Cramps Easily or Have Arthritis or in Certain Situations That You May Need To Hold The Vacuum Differently, Such As With 2 Hands.
It Easily Gets Under Beds and Other Furniture and Small Tight Spaces To Get Cleaning of Areas Hard to Normally Access With Other Vacuums. Works Well On Stairs & Furniture & Drapes Too!
It Does Have A Lot Of Suction Power and I can Testify That After Vacuuming An Area With My Older Hoover Canister Vac, I Went Over It Again With This Fusion And It Picked Up A Bunch More Dirt.
Speaking Of Dirt, The Dirt Cup Does Hold About 50% More Than The Other Cordless Stick Vacs (including the more expensive brands)
Dirt Cup Is Also Easy To Dump Directly Into The Trash.

I Also Used It As A Handheld To Vacuum Out My Car and That Worked Great With The Provided Tools!
One Disappointment I Do Have Is That The Battery Needs To Be Removed For Charging, But The Charger IS Included (But is Not Readily Wall Mountable.)

SIMPLE SYSTEM THAT WORKS GREAT
on November 2, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
SimpliSafe security system is Super Simple to set up and very easy to use!
The look of the components of this system, to me, compare to older systems but ONLY aesthetically speaking because these are obviously more HI-Tech than they look!
The base unit plugs into any wall outlet for ease of hiding it anywhere you'd like in your home and contains back-up batteries in the event of a power failure so that the unit will still be operational for 3-4 days and of course will automatically recharge when your power has been restored.

-The Base unit also has a built-in 105db alarm which you can program it to either sound or not when an alarm condition has been met AND you can even program an alarm delay of up to 250 seconds which will certainly come in handy in the event of a "False Alarm" giving you the needed time to disarm before going off and (if you pay for the service) having the Police called.
-Base Unit can also handle up to 41 sensors linked to it for ease of expansion.
-All of the included sensors are wireless and run on internal batteries which are claimed to run for several years, Giving you peace of mind for sure.
-ALSO each of the sensors can be programmed independently with delay times or instant alarm. This is a great feature for me!

-After installation, all of the sensors worked very reliably for their intended purpose.
-The Keypad:
-You set your Master Code for it. The Master Code allows you to not only arm & disarm the system but also access all settings.
-You can also set up to 4 additional "Guest Codes" which will be capable of arming & disarming the system, but will not be allowed to access the settings!

BUT You do not need to sign up for any long term monitoring service contracts. You have a couple of choices of low priced month-to-month subscriptions available.

CLOSE, SMOOTH & QUICK SHAVE!
on October 19, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
What a Great Cordless Electric Shaver!
This is a WET or DRY Use Shaver That You Can Use Dry OR With Water OR even With Shave Gels or Foams!
Also Very Easy To Clean With A One-Touch Open and Then You Can Simply Rinse Under Running Water!
This Shaver Takes About An Hour For A Full Charge Which Will Then Give You Up To 60 Minutes Of Shave Time. BUT A "Quick-Charge" May Also Be Done In 5 Minutes Which Will Provide You Enough Charge For 1 Good Shave!
*The Shaver Does Have An Indicator Light That Tells You When It Is Time For A Charge.
The Shaver Comes With A Protective Cap, Charging Cord & Instruction Manual BUT More Importantly, It Also Comes With A Click-On Precision Trimmer!!
Norelco Dubbs This As "Smart-Click" . I Can Say That This Trimmer Is Easy To Use And Worked Very Well On My Moustache, My Sideburns and Around My Ears As Well.
The Main Shaver Head Has 3 Rotary Heads That Pivot (or Flex) In 5 Different Directions Which Really Made It Very Smooth and Easy To Go Around My Chin, Neck & Jaw Line. Very Comfortable At That.
A Couple Of Other Features Include A Turbo Mode That Provides An Extra 20% Power Boost For Quicker Shaves and/or For Areas That Have Thicker Hair. I'm Sure Turbo Mode Will Have A Little Faster Wear On The Battery Charge, But With 60 Minutes Available On A Full Charge, I'm Sure This Won't Be An Issue For Anyone.
There Is Also A Lock Switch On The Shaver So That It Doesn't Accidentally Power On While Packed Up During Your Travels. Cool

Great for Certain Foods
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
This multi-chopper tool will certainly chop, dice or even mince a variety of food items and so far seems to do so rather quickly.
It comes with 2 different blade assemblies, 1 for the Chop-Drop technology that you use with the chop-drop multi-chopper basket. The basket has uniform holes in it which allows your food pieces to fall through down into the bowl when they reach a certain size so that they will no longer be chopped up any further, which results in a fairly even consistency of pieces when done. This is great for certain foods where basic uniformity is very important!
Phillips is correct in their statement that this is the best onion chopper because I can say that it is the best I've had so far (for onions)
The 2nd blade you use without the basket. The blades sit near the bottom of the bowl and basically act as your typical food chopper.
BUT this machine does have some power to it.
I'm not sure if I would be willing to try potatoes in it however because I don't want to jam it up or possibly damage the unit. I think I'll leave potatoes for my heavy duty processor.
ALSO: Do Not Throw Away Your Cutting Board as others may say!!
Per the instructions, You'll still have to cut your veggie and fruit pieces down to about a 3/4" cube size prior to adding for processing.
-Overall I'd say this unit is a time saver for many items and maybe not so much for some others...Depending on your skills of course

MUST HAVE VERSATILE MACHINE
on October 13, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
This Versatile Ninja Kitchen small appliance is a vast improvement to their predecessor!
A very versatile kitchen appliance that I've been looking for and I believe you will also be happy with this machine as well.
It comes with 4 different "vessels" that you attach for different functions and recipes.
-When you attach a particular vessel, the Ninja's Smart Intelligence automatically senses which one it is and then shows you a couple or few appropriate choices of Smart Programs that you will be able to select from for a variety of different recipes and their desired outcome.
(But you can still use the machine manually for certain preferences)
-It has rubber suction-cup feet and attaches very securely to a smooth clean countertop such as formica etc.... So you can simply select a smart program, walk away and let it run it's course without worries of the machine vibrating off the counter.
Will not blow a lid off either such as a traditional blender as each vessel will need to be securely locked into place (with a simple twist) before it will operate. Way cool and convenient time saver if you ask me since you can select a command and walk away.
The controls are on a touch screen that is smooth and sealed so it is easy to clean unlike a traditional machine/blender that all of your drips flow down into the buttons and into the machine.
Among the attachments, it has a veggie spiralizer with 2 blades for either turning your veggies into spaghetti or noodle shapes. So you can actually get curly fries, sorta. Ninja DOES have other blades available for this feature. All included are: Angel Hair, Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Pappardelle and Ribbon blades.
This machine, like I said is so versatile that you will be able to get rid of a couple of your other devices if you so desire because it will make sauces, chop, purees, blend smoothies to perfection, pulverize (extract) whole fruits, veggies and even seeds!
*Make your favorite frozen drinks or slushies and milkshakes!
One thing I haven't tried out as of yet is that it claims to be able to make Ice Cream! I will most certainly be doing this and I also believe that as versatile as this machine is and the results I've experienced so far, that I will be eating some of the best Ice Cream i've had in a long time!

The machine is very well built BUT I do wish that the blade components were 100% stainless with NO plastic, but I will see how long this holds up and put it through the daily grind of full use for sure.
I do however would recommend this to everyone that loves a versatile, convenient machine that tackles a ton of the foods you love!

Pour wine without removing the cork by using the Coravin Model Two wine system. The durable needle pierces the cork so you can pour, and then the cork reseals when the needle is removed to preserve the remaining wine. This Coravin Model Two wine system comes with two capsules that let you pour up to 30 glasses of wine.

A Real Money Saver
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
This Coravin Model Two is a godsend for dispensing your wines without ever having to open the bottle.
It does this by securely locking onto the unopened bottle and inserting a "Pour Needle" through the cork and down into the bottle. Note that this works on Natural Corks!
When you dispense your glass of wine, there is an onboard cylinder of Argon Gas that automatically fills the void in the bottle with the correct amount of gas for long term preservation of your wines as if they have never been opened.
*For those of you who may not know, Argon Gas is what the wine bottlers use when pressurizing and sealing your bottle...So this is the perfect thing to do.
-Very easy to use
-Will save you tons of money because you will not be throwing away old stale wine anymore.
-You can use from bottle to bottle so that you can sample or serve from several bottles without worry of having to drink the whole bottle in a short time. So now you can savor your wines over a much much longer period of time since it will be as if never opened! Super!
-Each guest can have their own wine choice without worries.
System does come with 2 capsules (cylinders) of the necessary Argon Gas. One downside to this is that I believe these capsules are of a proprietary nature and have to purchased accordingly at about $15 for 2 capsules
*This system, in my opinion will definitely save you a ton of money and will pay for itself in no time by not wasting your wines. Especially your expensive bottles!
I would recommend this for all wine lovers
*I believe they also have a thinner insertion needle available for use on much older and fragile corks.

Great for many uses
on September 25, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
A very sturdy built keyboard that works with both Mac & PC (Windows) computers, smartphones or tablets.
To use it for it's main intentions (besides just as a keyboard) you will have to D/L the Logitech Options software which is quick.
For each device you pair it with, there are 3 keys labeled 1, 2 and 3, Simple and straight forward.
It also comes with 1 "Unifying Receiver" that you can plug into your device (USB) to connect that way instead of bluetooth.
After pairing, you can use the keyboard to alternate between the 3 by simply pushing the 1, 2 or 3 keys. Very simple and convenient for workflow solutions for sure!
It has a dial that provides many functions, that operate differently for different apps that you are using at the time and is also touch sensitive.
When lightly touched, it briefly opens a small onscreen window that shows what function mode it controls. You can not only rotate and click, but also click (and hold down) and rotate for other functions.
By using the D/L options software, you will be able to customize all of the available settings with this dial.
This also has a proximity sensor in the keyboard itself that when your hands get close to it, it lights up the backlit keys and lights appropriately according to the light (or no light) in the room.
I imagine that this feature puts a drain on the battery but is very convenient in certain situations but you can also turn this off in the settings!
Overall I'd say it is a good keyboard especially for workflow solutions between 1-3 devices but probably not the best for some uses that some of you probably expect from a high end keyboard. Surely excellent for businesses though and moving information
To use it for it's main intentions (besides just as a keyboard) you will have to D/L the Logitech Options software which is quick.
For each device you pair it with, there are 3 keys labeled 1, 2 and 3, Simple and straight forward.
It also comes with 1 "Unifying Receiver" that you can plug into your device (USB) to connect that way instead of bluetooth.
After pairing, you can use the keyboard to alternate between the 3 by simply pushing the 1, 2 or 3 keys. Very simple and convenient for workflow solutions for sure!
It has a dial that provides many functions, that operate differently for different apps that you are using at the time and is also touch sensitive.
When lightly touched, it briefly opens a small onscreen window that shows what function mode it controls. You can not only rotate and click, but also click (and hold down) and rotate for other functions.
By using the D/L options software, you will be able to customize all of the available settings with this dial.

Bose Comes Through Once Again With A Great Product!
I am a BOSE fan and they have never disappointed and this new
SoundWear Companion System is only more proof of zero disappointments!

The Unit is very lightweight and very comfortable.
Easy BT pairing to my smartphone.
*I recommend you D/L the Bose "Connect App" so you can customize your settings such as the Bass settings and making connection easy with voice prompts! Cool huh?

-The sound you get is a full high quality stereo surround that immersed me to the point that I could easily "Tune-Out" the rest of the world while yet still being aware of all of my surroundings.
-It has 3 buttons that control Volume , Taking Calls and even (depending on your connection) Talking to Siri OR Google Now.
-Receiving phone calls is discreet because it vibrates to let you know.
-It comes with a protective cover that makes it sweat & weather resistant but I'm sure it's Not Waterproof. I saw where it is available in Black, Gray, Blue & Purple.
-Bose states that the battery will last upwards to 12 hours of continued use. I'm not sure I'll ever run them this long But I did crank up my tunes at a good volume for about 4 straight hours with no decline in performance or volume levels.
-Also after about 4 hours of use I took a call and it was still crystal clear on both me hearing and my party hearing me.

-Besides being very comfortable and having an excellent stereo surround sound and the other features noted, I'd like to also add that it is very flexible/adjustable so you can get a comfortable "Form-Fit" for your neck and shoulders and it stays put.
It was so comfortable to me in fact that after about 15-20 minutes or so, except for the high quality sound it was pumping out much to my pleasure, I really didn't even notice I was wearing it.

-I would certainly recommend this to everybody

It is completely Black. Bezel and all. I'm not certain if they have a silver version. I hope this helps

Clean every corner of your home with this Hoover Fusion Pet cordless vacuum. The One Pwr lithium battery delivers fade-free power for larger jobs, and fast charging speeds eliminate wait times between cleaning sessions. This Hoover Fusion Pet cordless vacuum includes several attachments for cleaning upholstery, crevices and other hard-to-reach areas.
Mine recently stopped working and I just bought it a minth ago. I’m not sure why. Help!
It may be possible that it has a clog somewhere. Check and clean the rollers and the tube because the vacuum does have a feature to cut off in the event of a clog so that way it will not burn up the motor, Which is a great feature if you ask me.
I do hope this helps and it solves your issue. Thanks

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
The shooting ranges for pistols and long guns, has tremendous loud noises and concussion type noises. I have an early pair of the Sony noise cancelling over the ear headphones and they are useless. My question is if the new Sony WH1000xm2.. would work?
I honestly cannot say for sure about the gun noise if you are the one shooting as I don't have that experience yet BUT Can say that they pretty much cancelled out the noise of the "Directly Overhead" Low Flying B-52 Bombers that fly over my house every day. I live across the street from the base...At the same time, I was cranking up my music at a good volume with these headphones during that experience. I hope that may help some.

What are the differences from these headphones to the original 1000x other than battery life?
You Should Get About 30 Hours of Play Time Wireless and About 40 When Wired. Hope This Helps

Leave no dirt behind with this Shark APEX vacuum. Its DuoClean operation uses a soft brush roll and powerful suction to pick up large debris and stuck-in dust, and its Powered Lift-Away technology provides extended reach underneath furniture. This Shark APEX vacuum prevents captured irritant particles from escaping thanks to its Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology.BR>
How much does it weigh?
BB's website shows that the AX951 weighs 16.1 pounds. I hope this helps

Enjoy your music while training with these Under Armour wireless headphones. These audio devices are sweat proof and have TwistLock technology to keep the earpieces in place through any workout. Designed by JBL, these Under Armour wireless headphones meet the highest audio standards and provide up to 8 hours of battery life to last many workouts.
What's the diference between this and the 149 dollars ones?
In my opinion, When the JBL's are properly fitted to your ear (ie: correct tip size) You will experience awesome sound. The fitment in the ear really makes a world of difference (and should save you money from buying a more expensive headset)

Wake up to a delicious cup of java with this Ninja Coffee Bar glass carafe system. The 10-cup pitcher holds 50 oz. of coffee when entertaining or brews a single cup at a time, prepared at the infusion level of your choice. This Ninja Coffee Bar glass carafe system has a built-in frother for hot and cold drink creations.
What's the difference between this system and the other system (coffee bar brewer, with choice of glass or thermal carafe). Just trying to figure out which to purchase.
From my understanding, the unit with the Thermal Carafe does not have a warming plate on the machine since Ninja states that the insulated thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for 2 hours so it's not needed
