Great power, great value, ignore the gimmick

I’ve always like SharkNinja products. They make both the Shark vacuums and Ninja cooking products. I think their top end vacuums are great and loved their coffee makers. They do what they are supposed to at a decent price. Their Foodi Cold & Hot Blender (Model:HB152) is a mix of good and bad but you have to set the right expectations. I will go into that more in my conclusion at the end of this review.
Pros :
Good power.
It is rated at 1400 watts and that is towards the upper end of blenders. Higher watts mean better performance and a longer motor life. Keep in mind that manufactures do play with this number and some even list horsepower instead of watts. Compare motor watts to get a true indication of power.
Good quality pitcher.
Nicely sized and Ninja states it is BPA feel. To be honest, the pitcher is so solid and clear ; I thought it was made of glass. I would have not thought it was plastic until I read the specs. I just tapped on the pitcher and it even sounds like glass. Much better than the pitchers that used to be on the Ninja blenders.
Built in programmed controls .
Ninja calls it Auto-iQ®, it is 12 pre-set smart programs that allow you to just set it and forget ( thanks Ron Popeil) for making smoothies, extractions, frozen drinks, sauces, dips, soups, cocktails, water infusions, etc. You just press the button for what you want and away it goes. Now I did not try all of them but the 3 I did try worked flawlessly. I have to say, it’s pretty impressive.
Clean function
One of the negatives you will see listed in this review is this unit is not dishwasher safe and some other cleaning issues. Ninja must have realized that and built in a clean function that heats up the water and then runs in a specific sequence. It does a decent job and makes touch up cleaning afterwards later. It is not perfect but it does help.

Cons :
The Ninja Foodi Cold and & Hot Blender comes with a 1 year warranty. There are competitors that offer much better warranties in the same price range. Some even have 10 year warranties.
Base, blades and pitcher do not separate and you cannot put it in the dishwasher. Although this is common today on blenders, there are those where you can separate the blades for thorough cleaning.
The drive assembly coupling between the motor and the blade assembly is plastic. The cog that drives the blades is metal. I am not sure why they went with this design. I know in manfufacturing that designers will use two substances with one being weaker than the other to protect one component but in this case, they should be both made of metal ( with one being a softer metal.) The much more expensive competition does it. With Ninja, I would question the long term durability of this design.
Loud. This unit screams when it is running. Now I almost did not put this as negative because blenders are loud in general .
The control panels is cheap feeling and will not hold up as well as some other designs. It is basically a flat piece of plastic covering the control buttons underneath. It does make it wipe clean but I can see this wearing out.

Neutral :
I really do not see the point of the heating function. In my opinion, it is more than a gimmick that just adds a level of complexity that is unnecessary. Now not everyone would agree and that is why I put it as a neutral. However, I want you to think about all the other manufacturers that do not offer this and ask yourself why? Also, how many times have you used a blender and the only thing you are using it for is the basic functions of a blender. I have a stove and microwave that does a much better job at heating with greater control.
Power draw. This unit draws 1400 watts for the motor and 800 watts when cooking. Although you are not going to be using the unit at full blend and cooking at the same time , you can pulse and cook at the same time. A standard 15A circuit at 120v is 1800 watts, you are probably getting close to or exceeding that during the operation of this blender when cooking and pulsing. Many kitchens will have dedicated 20A circuits that can handle this load but some may not or have other appliances on a circuit. If that is the case, you will trip a breaker at some point . This is more of a FYI.
Conclusion :
The blender is good, not great. It does many things but is not the best in any category. What sets it apart is that it is a great value. You would be hard pressed to find this type of power with this many features in the same price range. As I said earlier, I find the cooking feature a gimmick . At 800 watts, that heating element produces about 2700 BTU’s. Assuming a difficult 75% thermal transfer efficiency , that is only about 2000 BTU of heat to cook 56 oz of fluid ( provided you fill the pitcher all the way.) A typical stove top burner is 9000 BTUs - how long would it take to cook at only 22% of a stove top burner. A long time. Now I know I lost some of you because this is getting long but the math is the math. Don’t buy this blender for the cooking function , buy it because you get the most bang for your buck at $130. If you want something with truly a noticeable power difference , higher quality and lower sound, you are going to pay hundred of dollars more.

O' brother where art thou.. probably not here.

The Brother HL-L3210CW is a mix of good and bad. I really wanted to like this printer but I’m not sure who the target customer is. It’s promoted as a budget unit for a small office but it misses the mark in several areas. First thing, this is not true laser printer, the HL-L3210CW is an LED-based color printer. Not that it is a bad thing, but I wonder if that has to do with the slower print speed compared to black and white laser printers. Additionally, there are some quality differences (albeit small) between LED’s and laser printers (laser printers are just crisper in their prints and the colors are more even.) In reference to print speed, it matched the advertised speed for basic text. It was crisp, clean and uniform. However, for mix of text and graphics with color, the printer is as slow as a middle level ink jet. In my unscientific testing, it seemed to be less than half the full speed of text printing. I did a direct connection via USB and the only other option is wi-fi connection. So that begs the question, why is Brother creating a printer for an office environment with no ethernet connection? I prefer an ethernet connection for all my printers. To make things even more odd, even though this is a wifi printer, you cannot use Brother's cloud based apps ( I think all of their other printers can use that.) You can still use Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print and Wi-Fi Direct. So back to my initial statement in this review of who this printer is for? Yes , it prints both color and black and white but who is printing in color in a small office environment? If someone needs color , they certainly would want something higher quality than a sub $200 printer. Most office environments need a fast reliable black and white printer . For a reference point, HP has a printer that is about the same price , same foot print, has an ethernet connector and prints literally at twice the speed.
So would I recommend this printer? Unfortunately, no for most. It is a good printer - the quality is good, it is well built and prints okay. And I am still giving it 3 stars. So why the no? Because for $50 more you can get the next level printer in the Brother line up or a competitor and the upgrade will give you a faster printer with a more robust feature set. I understand that Brother is trying to keep the price down for this “budget entry” but you get so much more for a little more money or a much better black and white printer at the same cost. So in Summary, if you are on a tight budget and need low volume color printing from a good manufacturer than this might be a fit. If you can spend a little more, go for the upgrade.

Compact, slim & okay for basics. Watch the surge..

The APC 425 battery backup is a basic device that can be used for relatively low powered devices for short periods of time. The design is small enough that is can tuck neatly into the back of desk or similar. The 6 outlets are all surge protected and the 4 battery backup outlets are nicely spaced for transformer power supplies. The two remaining are surge suppression only and only have enough space for two standard plugs or 1 large power supply plug.
Testing :
I run a Verizon supplied modem with a secondary Nighthawk router. Because of this set up , it does draw more power than a standard one router setup. I unplugged the APC back up from the wall and left it. It lasted almost exactly 1 hour. You do get audible warnings as it is about to run out of power. There was no drop of internet so there is no discernible latency between loss of power and battery backup engagement. Not bad and about what I expected.

What I like :
What differs from some of the UPS’s from the past is the slim horizontal form factor. I own multiple versions of this and they nicely under and behind furniture. It even has two key holes on the back if you want to mount it to a desk or wall. You do have to be careful about venting, but it is very usable.

What I do not like:
Joules..ugh. It is only rated 180 joules. Many do not really know what a joule rating is and why it is important. A joule rating indicates how much energy the surge protector can absorb before it fails. A joule is a watts per second. Therefore, this device is rated to handle the equivalent of three 60 watt light bulbs. APC dedicated surge suppressors handle 2880 joules or more. Sounds terrible, right? Well not completely but it is not good. Take a look at APC $40 surge suppressors, they will have $250,000 equipment guarantees and the APC 425 has “only” $75,000. Therefore, APC is readily acknowledging the difference in surge protection. However, a UPS’s primary function is to be a backup and a surge suppression is an added benefit. The competition offers far higher joule ratings on similar products ( in most cases 3 to 4 times the amount) but there may be differences in testing standards. I run battery backups off of surge suppressors and have no issues. It should be noted that APC states you use a APC surge suppressor or it could void the “Equipment Protection Policy.” Here is an excerpt from APC
“Plugging any non-APC surge protector, power strip, or extension cord into the output of an APC brand UPS could void your Equipment Protection Policy (EPP). However, the standard 3 year product warranty is maintained. If, after taking into consideration this knowledge base document, you choose to use an APC brand surge protector in conjunction with your APC brand UPS, your warranty and Equipment Protection Policy will be maintained.”
It's a load of bull, if you use a high quality surge suppressor; there will be no issues. APC just wants you to buy their products. It is APC prerogative so beware and I am not suggesting to do anything that would void your warranty.

Conclusion :
Like all of APC products, they do what they are supposed to and well built. I own 5 APC battery backups and they are all great. I used them to back up my routers, video cams and select LED lights . But you need to know what you are buying and what is the purpose. They are not great surge suppressors and you need to have that to protect your equipment. You should never plug a surge suppressor into a battery backup, but you can do the reverse as long as you are paying attention to the load. In other words, just because you now have 18 outlets with the surge suppressor and the battery backup combined, it does not mean to load it up. The APC UPS 425VA Battery Back-Up System BE425M is a solid, affordable piece of equipment that will maintain power to your network or any other lower power device. Now you may ask why I say “lower power” device. This is the smallest of the battery backups available from APC, they go all the way up to 900VA’s in a similar form factor. If you want more run time , look to their bigger models . If you are looking to back up a network router, this should give you more than enough time to finish a project or just prepare for a shutdown because of a power outage.

One of the best you can get under $1500

I’ve quite a few 4K televisions over the years, the quality has gone up and the price has gone down. At some point over the , the proliferation of low price 4K televisions has grown exponentially. I’ve avoided all the low tier 4k televisions, they tended to offer a lot but at the expense of poor smart features, sub par picture and questionable long term durability. This is not the case now , today's low priced 4K smart TV's approach or exceed the mid to the high end TV’s of a couple years ago. The Hisense H9F Series is the perfect example of this. In review :
Build -
The TV is very minimalist with a thin bezel and thin profile form the side. The stand is very stable and gives the TV a nice, high quality look. The all plastic back of the TV is cheap feeling plastic with no cable management. For minimal cost, Hisense could use a stronger plastic and put some basic cable a management.

Controls –
First, a minor annoyance. There is no external power button or control – everything is through the remote. The remote works well and is thoughtfully laid out with quick access to Netflix, Youtube, Google Play Store and Vudu ( not sure who really uses Vudu anymore.) Like nearly other remote, it is not backlight and I find myself fumbling in the dark. There is button for directly accessing Google Assistant and it works quite well. Press the button and speak a command and the TV does it job.

Press the button and speak a command and the TV does it job.
Apps, Smart Features and OS system :
As I mentioned above, the Google Assistant is built in. There is a good reason for, the whole TV is based on the Android TV platform. Android TV is a pleasure; it is satisfying to have access to the easy and familiar Google play store. All the appropriate apps are there. Set up is the best I’ve ever experienced, it interfaces to your mobile devices and pulls in all the appropriate info. Also, Chrome Cast is built in for easy casting from other devices.
There are some slight deficiencies here. There is some latency in navigating between the apps and I did notice some slight hangs within apps. Nothing major but you will notice a difference from the high end TV’s with better processors. Additionally, sometimes right in the middle of using an app , the system goes to back to the home screen for all the apps. At first, I thought I hit the home button, but it did happen several times as I was looking through an app. It happened on Youtube, Hulu and Netfilx.

Sound –
At first, is not that good. It is relatively muddy across the spectrum. With a little tweaking in the settings, you can get noticeably better sound. I found setting it to “Theater “ for the Sound mode and turning on the “Total Sonics “ option dramatically improved the sound. You can change it further through the advanced setting. For the life of me, I do not why Hisense has everything set to “standard “ for the sound. While the sound is better with tweaking, you are limited by the relatively weak speakers so a soundbar is a must for those that want rich, deep sounds.

The picture:
Overall, the picture is impressive. I ran several formal tests for the Dolby Vision and HDR, they did look stunning. In 4k from Youtube, Netflix and Amazon, it all looked quite good but did have some blooming of bright objects on black or dark backgrounds. For me, I found it more noticeable on smaller objects bt maybe this is because I have the picture settings on vivid. When compared to other TV’s in this price range or even higher, it comes out on top. When compared to high end OLED televisions, you will definitely see the difference. For standard pictures ( as in from the cable box) the Hisense H9F was about average with some colors getting muddy or washed out in brighter sections of the screen. I did see some color uniformity issues on content that had a lot of white or grey. In fact, when you first start the TV up, there is a grey screen and you can see the uniformity inconsistencies in the picture. I can say the picture is amazingly bright, brighter than anything in this class. In a normal room, you do not need anything close to max brightness.
Now I do not want to give the impression the picture is bad. I was able to make some changes that improved the picture quality. The picture overall for any television is good , for a $900 television – you will not find any better. Even for a couple hundred dollars more.

Odd mentions:
TV does turn off with Google Home commands but does not turn on.
TV is hot and what I mean by that is it is literally a hot TV. All TV’s produce heat but it felt noticeably hotter than my 55 inch Samsung 4k and even more than my 77 inch OLED (in spots.)

Conclusion:
I put this TV up against my 6 year old 9000 series 4K Samsung and a LG C9 77 inch.

Keep in mind that the Samsung I have was about $3500 at the time. The Android TV and apps was far superior to the old Samsung . Now, compared to the LG C9, there is no comparison.

However, this is best TV value you can get with great picture and an even better feature set. Recommend for those on a budget and those who are spending under $1500.

So I’ve been using the G815 for a week and I am impressed. The first thing you will notice is the heft of the product, it is solid and heavy weight. Personally, I like a gaming keyboard with some weight to it because it does not slip under aggressive typing - it definitely makes a difference. While the keyboard is solid, it is very thin coming at less than an inch with the keys and about half that not counting the keys. So let’s talk about the most important factor a keyboard, the actual typing. I used it in 3 scenarios, everyday typing, gaming and photo editing. In any scenario, the typing is a pleasure. Very responsive and the keys have that fulfilling positive click with that tactile response one would expect in a gaming keyboard. In some ways it reminds me of the old IBM keyboards but with a lot less travel required for a full keystroke. For gaming , the reaction is instantaneous - there was no lag whatsoever. Movement is precise and very fast. If you are a gamer , you know it is all about actions per second and with the low travel and short keys; this is about as good as it gets. The keyboard has programmable “G” keys on the left side of the board. While that is a nice feature and it can help with quick actions, it does add some width to keyboard. I did find myself shifting the keyboard over when using the mouse. It’s not the end of the world but it was noticeable. On the right side is the media controls and top notch. The volume scroll wheel is metal, smooth and precise with a very high quality feel to it.
How does it hold up to other brand? Overall, pretty well. The Logitech G815 is very similar to the Corsair K95, even down to the media center. The price is at the upper range of most of the gaming keyboards and I think at $200, it is bit overpriced when you can get a great keyboard for $70 less. You will notice that most of competition has a wrist pad that is included in the price while the G815 does not . At this price point, it should have one. Wrist pads are not expensive but I like the ones that the competition has because it is customer for the keyboard. Minor complaint but one that should not be overlooked. I am not going to go into the details of the LED lights and syncing with mouse lights. It may look good at first but who cares about that when you are in middle of the game. In summary this is nice , well built, top of the line keyboard that you will not be disappointed in ; provided you can get past the price.

Best of the best but at a price

I’ve owned prior generations of the Astro A50 and they were always good. This current generation ( the 4th) is no different. I’m not going to go too much into every nitty, gritty feature but I can tell you it checks the boxes on nearly everything you would want in a gamer headset. The sound is crisp, clear and powerful. The construction is top notch, although there are a few competitors that are a bit more streamlined. The fit is very good and comfortable and should be fine for people’s heads of all sizes. The mic design is perfect and has the nice feature of flipping up to mute, no need to fumble for buttons. It comes with a charging dock so no need to plug it into a USB port to charge. The Astro Command Center software let’s you customize to your heart’s desire . For me, I really think sometimes the myriad of customization is a bit overkill but some may love it. So what is not to like? Well, the $300 cost. At one time, Astro (owned by Logitech) was the only player to offer a premium headset of this level. But then came Turtle Beach, Razor, Sennheiser, Arctis, Hyper X and more. Now the field is blurred with a lot of great sounding headsets. Feature for feature you will be close to price with some of the competitors. However, there are some that are less than half the cost that sound just as good to me; or pretty close. I own a Turtle Beach headset and I am hard pressed to find any differences in the sound and it is a third of the price. But then I see little differences in fit, finish and quality on the less expensive headsets. I still like the Astro 50 and would still buy them over nearly any competitor, it is just a question of is it worth it to you? If you want the best of the best, the Astro is definitely the one for you.

I’ve owned many Logitech devices over the years with my first device going back 30 years and they have always been good. It’s not just mouse peripherals, its all their products – Astro Gaming headsets, Ultimate Ear speakers and Jaybird to name a few. So why am I mentioning the above when reviewing the Logitech - G403? Because Logitech is a company of ecosystem products that can share technologies to produce great quality and innovation, not unlike Apple. The Logitech G403 gaming mouse is an example of a great quality product from Logitech . Simple, efficient and ergonomic. I am not a big PC gamer but when I do, I want the old school wired mouse with limited buttons but razor-sharp reactions. Compare this to the some of the other gaming mice on the market that can have up to 19 buttons, 6 customizable buttons are more than adequate on the G403. The buttons are tactile, well placed and react well. The scrolling wheel spins well but not too freely. One of the things I do not like on some other gaming mice is the wheel spins way too loosely. Now to take advantage of all the capabilities you have to download and install the Logitech Hub software. I personally did not find much use for the software, so I just used the default settings from Windows. Plug it and go, just what I love about wired mice. Additionally , the G403 has an added feature where you can add a supplied 10 gram weight to give the mouse some extra heft. This can really affect your precision so do not discount trying it.
In summary, the design, features, construction, ergonomics and design are spot on and all you really need in a gaming mouse. Skip the expensive , 19 button monstrosities with thousands of LED colored lights. Keep your control lean like the G403 and your gaming experience will be even better. Recommend completely.

HP Laserjets are the best. Period.
on July 22, 2019

I’ve always been a big fan of HP laser printers. They are fast, have great print quality, usually dependable and easy to set up. For the most the part the HP- LaserJet Pro M404n Black-and-White Printer holds up to that HP standard. The first important thing to understand before you buy this printer is know what you are buying. This M404n is a network printer. Yes, you can install it with a USB cable but it is designed with the intent that is it going to be connected to a network via an Ethernet cable. This is not a wireless printer and I am perfectly happy with that. I am a bit old school when it comes to printers, I prefer the solid reliability and ease of installation of a hard-wired network printer. Or so I thought (more on that.)
Installation –
The initial installation went smooth. Basically, put the paper in, plug in your Ethernet cable and plug it in. From your computer download and install the software. The software instantly recognizes the printer and you are ready to go. I installed the software on the LG Gram with Windows 10 (fully updated.) Unfortunately, I just could not get it to print from any program or browser . I could print test pages no problem but it just either would not print or take forever to print. I uninstalled the printer and redid everything several times but it was always the same. To be honest, I cannot tell if it was my computer or the HP software. I really think it is something with the HP software. I do use multiple laptops so I decided to install the printer on my MacBook without the HP software. Since HP M404n was connected to the network, it was installed in a few seconds. Everything worked flawlessly. Now if you look at some other reviews, they did run into the issue of installing the printer on a windows system. The problem may lie with that you should install the software first and then install the printer. HP should really look into this .
Performance –
This is where the printer showed what it can do. The Bestbuy page states that it prints 38 pages per minute but that is for A4 size paper. For standard 8.5 X 11 paper, you can get 40 PPM . I was able to print about 8 pages in about 10 seconds, so HP is right on mark. It is fast, relatively quiet and everything a network printer should be.
Design –
I am a true network printer user. I do not care about the size of the LCD screen, I want utility. Some people did not like that the screen is small but the reality is that most people should not even use the screen once it is installed. This is not a inkjet photo printer, the M404N is designed to be a fast workhorse and it is every bit of that. Now the really nice thing is the size. This is about 15” X 15” X 9”. Very small for a printer capable of pushing 40 PPM and have a duty cycle of 80,000 pages.
Cons –
Well there are not many here. I did have that issue with set up on a Windows device but not with a Macbook. It would have been nice if they included an Ethernet cable and a USB cable. But that is only a “it would have been nice.” The real con is the cost of the replacement toner cartridge. A 3000 page toner cartridge is $106 and a 10,000 page extra large toner is a whopping $222. I get this where HP makes most of their money but it is too high. It still is far cheaper in the long run compared to inkjets .

Conclusion –
So the big question is would I recommend it? Yes. It is fast, quiet and does what it is supposed to. Barring the installation hiccup, the HP M404n hits high marks in all the important categories. Know what you are buying and you will love this printer.

Clean messes and dust at the office with this Hoover ONEPWR wet and dry cordless vacuum. The capable motor delivers up to 45 cfm for faster cleaning, and the rechargeable 2 Ah battery facilitates cordless use. This Hoover ONEPWR wet and dry cordless vacuum includes a 3-gal. dirt tank to trap captured debris.

I was excited when I first took the Hoover ONEPWR 3-Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum out the box. A compact, battery powered shop vac – what a great idea. Too bad is sucks, and not in the way a vacuum should. When I first took this out of the box, I thought that it looked familiar. Very familiar. Actually, it looks exactly the same as the Ryobi. In fact, it is the same exact unit except a different battery system. I guess Ryobi is making it for Hoover or vice versa. So let’s look at construction of the unit first. Cheap. Its plastic injected molded bottom casing with a snap on motor lid. It’s not a bad design but definitely on the cheap side. There is not even rubber grommets on the bottom to prevent wear and sliding on the floor. The two tools it comes with (a utility nozzle and a crevice tool) snap into the sides of the casing . Unfortunately, they are not very secure and fall off. It does not come with a dusting brush so it will not pick fine dirt when vacuuming a dashboard. Definitely, not a great start. I charged up the battery for 24 hours and turned the unit on to test the power. Surprisingly, the power is decent. Not great but better than I thought and nearly comparable to budget corded vacuums. But none of this matters, what matters is the battery life. Take a look at the specs on the Hoover website or any website – there is no mention of run time. There is a reason why. I got a whopping total of minutes run time. You are reading that correctly, 7 minutes. I thought that something was wrong and let the battery charge for another 24 hours and double checked that it had a full charge. I ran it again and did light vacuuming of couch and TV. This time I put a stopwatch to make sure I got an accurate number. Yet again, 7 minutes ( and 18 seconds to be exact.) I've tested this vacuum for a week and the results are always the same. Are you kidding me? This is worthless at 7 minutes . Even worse , the unit is $149.99. I could forgive a bit if this was a $50 but a $150? C’mon. The virtually identical Ryobi is 20% less in price with battery that can be used on their hand tools. If you want a large capacity battery ( the 4.0 amp) it is $119. Ugh, who is going to do that when all the competition sells two batteries for $20 less. I am flabbergasted at the lack of run time performance but high cost for what you get. This is a hard pass, look elsewhere for bigger, better and less costly.

Super low cost per print but not much else.
on July 1, 2019

I’ve always liked the Epson printers, I’ve owned quite a few. I was intrigued by the advertised 2 years of “free printing ” for the Ecotank ET-4760. It’s got everything you want in an AIO - faxing, copying, printing, WiFi direct, wireless , Ethernet etc To be honest, it does everything nearly any other AIO printer will do. Unfortunately, it does not do any of them particularly well. The printer is slow , slow , slow. Slow to print, slow to scan. . Look at the specs - 15 ppm in black and 8 in color. I do not like the the size of the touch screen.The touch screen is small at 2.4” . Think about that for a second, what is the smallest smart phone you have owned? Now cut that in half.
So far, not a great start. However, the printer does have some strengths. First, the printer is relatively small for a multi-function AIO printer. The print quality is excellent for documents and photos were pretty good. According to all the specs, the ink should last a very long time with an extremely low cost per print. I’ve read that black and white prints are .03 cents and color about a penny. Obviously, I cannot prove or test that, but other sources have repeated it. Even on the box, it states the ink included is the equivalent of 80 cartridges.
So what is the point of buying a printer that you can find better performance for 1/5th the cost? Well, you only buy this for the low cost per print. With other printers, you pay higher costs per print but get much better performance and quality. It’s really hard to make sense of these types of printers when the printer is essentially designed for high volume printing but has a slow print time. I think this is really for people who would rather lay out the money up front and not worry about ink cartridges for years. However, if you are looking for performance in an AIO – look to other less expensive printers.

Access multiple streaming apps with this Hisense 4K smart TV. The FALD display supports HDR imaging for vivid colors and excellent brightness. Connect multiple devices simultaneously using the four HDMI ports, and access the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to support storage device access. This Hisense 4K smart TV features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity for increased versatility.
The specs say the tv with stand is 11.1 in. deep. I would like to put the tv on a fireplace mantle that is only 10 in. deep. Any chance the TV would still be stable if the stand overhung the end of the mantle by 1 in.?
No, I think the stand will be unstable. I measured between the two grommets on the stand legs and they are 10 1/4 inches. I think 10 in mantle would cause the TV to have a very good chance of tipping over.

Just had a power failure - the screen went dark. But when the power came back - the time was accurate and alarm times were still set. Is that normal for the display to go away even with with battery backup?
Yes. Displays take a lot of energy so the battery is not intended to power the display.
