Like myself, this offers a lot in a small package.
on November 27, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect

First, this is ridiculous. Ridiculous in a good way. I cannot believe the clarity of picture of the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 Smart Streaming Laser Projector with HDR and Android TV. At less than a 7 inch cube, it can project a relatively bright and clear picture up to 150 inches. I was not able to test it at max but I was able to run it about 100 inches. I was shocked at how clear the picture was on a light beige wall and I can only imagine how good it would be on a screen. Colors were crisp, lines were clear and the pixels were only evident if you got up close (remember this is over an 8 foot picture.) Contrast is pretty good with the darks and whites appearing to mostly pop. I did notice some type of blooming on the edges of the blacks. Now blooming should not be possible on a laser projector in the same way as a television but the effect was the same. Basically, I could see a bit of halo around the blacks in the picture. It was not overwhelming, and you would never notice it during most media. It was only evident on a relatively static image with lots of black around the edges. Set up was very easy, as with all Android devices these days. It will ask you the set up from your Google account, verify a code and import your passwords. Once set up it runs a few updates with one being a firmware update. I started to get alarmed during the firmware update, the update absolutely blasts the fan. When I say blasts, I am talking extremely loud - nearly the loudest I have heard on a modern projector and far more than a desktop PC. However, it calmed down after the update and I was not able to replicate the sound after running it for a while. When it is running in normal projection mode, it is far more reserved and barely noticeable if you have the sound on. Let’s look at a summarization of the features, functions, pros and cons:
- Android TV interface to stream directly from apps and Chromecast built-in. It appears to be an older version of Android as I could not get Netflix to work. The voice assistant works great on Youtube.
- The interface is responsive with minimal latency.
- Autofocus seems to work pretty well. It projects a series of dots and changes the focus. When you move the projector, it refocuses.
- Since it is a projector, you will see the picture at virtually any angle.
- The sound is loud for its size, good enough to watch movies or Youtube. Keep in mind this is small
package so the sound is not going to have a lot depth. Still very good for a portable unit.
- Automatically adjusts vertical and horizontal keystone but you can manually adjust it yourself.
- Plenty of connects – one USB and two HDMI. One of the HDMI is ARC. WIFI and Bluetooth.
- The projector has two legs in the back and on in the center front that adjusts the height. I understand why Epson went with this design, but I do not like it because it wobbles when you touch it. All they had to do was make the legs splay out larger and it would have been much better.
In summary, I’ve own a series of projectors from the last few year and none can give the bang for the buck that the EpiqVision Mini EF12. It is not as bright on some of he higher end Epson’s but it still does the job in a dimly lit room or outdoors. If it was a full-size projector, it would be 3 to 4 stars. However, since it crams so much technology into such a small package – I have to give it perfect 5 stars.
Great job Epson. Completely recommend.

Smaller size, same great features - The Anova Precision® Cooker Container 12L was designed specifically with sous vide in mind and is a great space saving alternative to our other containers. It’s patented Hemiflow design features smooth, curved edges to help the water circulate more efficiently and heat your water with the quickness.

Contains Anova goodness
on November 22, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
When I purchased Anova Precision Cooker Pro, I decided to buy into the entire Anova ecosystem - cooker, vacuum sealer and container. For the latter container, it was the expensive Anova Precision Cooker Insulated Container. That container was the best there was on the market and was by far the best quality. But it was a mistake, it was a gigantic tank at 20 liters. When Bestbuy offered me to review the Anova Precision 12L Container, I was happy to have a smaller container to try out; particular one that is made by Anova. The 12 L is just the perfect size. The container is compact, well thought out and light weight. In review :
Pros –
Compact size
Handles built into the plastic (competition does not always have that and it is great if you have move the container after you have added water.)
Specifically designed for sous vide. Many of the competition is containers adapted for sous vide.
Includes top cover to mitigate evaporation.
Can be used for multiple brands – not just Anova.
Rack that keeps food from floating above the water line.
Cons-
Polycarbonate has questionable durability. Plastic could be thicker.
Becomes unstable if you have an Anova Pro Cooker in the container without water. Not that you would always do this but I like to keep my cooker on the container in between use.
No true track that keeps food stable . At this cost, I would expected it to come with a weighted rack.
Expensive for what you get. Think about this, this container is $60. You can get a nice new Anova cooker for $100 ( on sale.)
So would I recommend the Anova Precision 12L Container? Yes. Am I overly thrilled? No. Anova could have include a better rack and the competition is half the cost for something similar. Cost is not everything, I am a big proponent of an ecosystem when getting quality product. Right now, you could go on Anova for Black Friday sales and they have their top of the line Cooker Pro for 50% off. To add a container for $60 and take advantage of the free shipping is worth it. A note on Anova, every product I have bought from them has been top notch quality. That alone gets them an extra star on the rating.

Pass- terms of conditions make it not worth it
on November 17, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
I own or have owned several home security systems – Simplisafe, Smartthings, Ecobee and various sensors from other manufacturers. The Blue by ADT - Home Security System comes with 6 sensors and 1 motion sensor. How that adds up to 10 piece starter system is marketing nonsense – they include the yard sign and the stickers as pieces. Regardless, you do get a lot or money for a starter kit. I see this kit on sale for $225 , better than most of the competition. In review :
What I like :
Installation –
ADT nailed it for the set up . Everything is already “linked” for lack of a better word. First you set up an account, download the app and then connect the base station through a code. The entry and motion sensors were a snap to set up , take the battery tab out and it basically pairs itself. There are a few firmware updates but the process is seamless. This is on par with most of top brands today while having an advantage over the Samsung Smarththings.
Integration-
Google, IFTTT, Alexa, Zwave, Wifi and cellular. Covers every base – very robust.
Quality –
The sensors and base station are solid. You can definitely feel the quality of the sensors, better than Samsung. The motion sensor is very accurate and has good field of sensitivity. When compared to Ecobee, it is far superior. The field of sensitivity is also better by far than the Samsung.
What I do not like:
Sensor size- the sensors are significantly larger than the competitor. In fact, the motion sensor is 3 times the size of the Samsung and Aeotec sensors. While I realize that the sensor does have a better field of sensitivity, it is still does not make sense for the gigantic size.
App when arming – when you arm the system via an Android mobile device, it counts for 60 seconds. The problem is you get a notification every second until it reaches zero. In other words, you get 60 notification sounds as it counts down. Ugghh.
$20 monitoring fee. In today’s day and age, do you really need a company to contact the police or fire department. Some people think it is worth it, I do not. I did not sign up for the service, even with a month free. There were other reasons for that as well and I will outline that below.
What’s deal breaker –
Putting all the above aside, there is a reason I would not buy this product – the terms of conditions. I want you to read this excerpt from the terms and conditions and tell me how secure you feel with ADT? This is supposed to be a company that stands behind you for security –
“IF ANY THIRD PARTY FILES ANY CLAIM OR LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON OUR BEHALF, ARISING FROM OUR SERVICES OR YOUR SYSTEM, YOU AGREE TO DEFEND AND HOLD US COMPLETELY HARMLESS FROM ANY SUCH ACTIONS, INCLUDING ALL DAMAGES, EXPENSES, COSTS, AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES WE INCUR.

YOU WILL NOTIFY YOUR INSURANCE CARRIER(S) OF THIS RELEASE.
Limitation of Liability. YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR OUR LIABILITY ARE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, NEITHER WE NOR ANY PERSON OR ENTITY AFFILIATED WITH US SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY, OR OTHER CONSEQUENCE ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE FAILURE OF EITHER THE SERVICES OR SYSTEM TO WORK AS INTENDED, DELAYS IN THE INSTALLATION OF OR REPAIRS TO YOUR SYSTEM, CYBER SECURITY OR DATA BREACHES, OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTS OR UNDERTAKINGS RELATED TO THE SYSTEM OR THE SERVICES.

THIS AMOUNT IS YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY NO MATTER HOW THE LOSS, INJURY, OR OTHER CONSEQUENCE IS CAUSED, EVEN IF CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW, OR OTHER FAULT. AT YOUR REQUEST, WE MAY AGREE TO ASSUME ADDITIONAL LIABILITY BY SIGNING AN AMENDMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT STATING THE EXTENT OF OUR ADDITIONAL LIABILITY AND THE ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU. AGREEING TO THE HIGHER LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE AN INSURER. YOU AGREE THAT WERE WE TO HAVE LIABILITY GREATER THAN THAT STATED ABOVE, WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES. WE ARE NOT LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST, COMPROMISED OR DAMAGED PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OR OTHER DATA. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISION.
Hold Harmless. IF ANY THIRD PARTY FILES ANY CLAIM OR LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON OUR BEHALF, ARISING FROM OUR SERVICES OR YOUR SYSTEM, YOU AGREE TO DEFEND AND HOLD US COMPLETELY HARMLESS FROM ANY SUCH ACTIONS, INCLUDING ALL DAMAGES, EXPENSES, COSTS, AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES WE INCUR.

YOU WILL NOTIFY YOUR INSURANCE CARRIER(S) OF THIS RELEASE.”
So if you made it way through this wall of legalese, ADT is basically washing their hands of any liability as much as they can and trying to limit your rights. Further, ADT states that you except these terms of conditions just by buying the system ( which I nonsense.) For this reason alone, I cannot recommend buying this system from ADT. I know all companies protect themselves as much as possible with “terms and conditions” but this is supposed to be security company. If they had that much faith in their product they would not be limiting themselves. They are supposed to be protecting you – how protected do you feel after reading the above.
Hard pass and I do not recommend this product.

The Roccat Kone AIMO is not lamo.........
on November 4, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
The Roccat - Kone AIMO Wired Optical Gaming Mouse is one of a myriad of gaming mice on the market. There are so many that it is hard to stand out and really all them are in the same price range are very comparable in features. What is important is the overall ergonomics - how it feels and how easy does it function -
Size –
This mouse is a bit on the larger size with it being taller and longer than I really like. I found the angle it put my wrist was uncomfortable after a few minutes. This was mitigated when I used a wrist pad but I really prefer not to use one. I think people with larger hands will not find this to be as much as an issue.
Buttons –
Like just about all the better gaming mice, the buttons are responsive and have a nice feel to them. The side buttons are a bit awkwardly spaced but that is a matter of preferences.
Scroll wheel –
Accurate, responsive and an exceptionally good tactile feel. I hate the loose scroll wheels on some of the competition, the Roccat nails the balance of the correct amount of resistance.
Movement –
The glide pads on the button of mouse make it easy to move around and no mouse pad is needed.
Roccat pays attention to the little details like the feel of the plastic, the braided USB cord and the right balance and weight. I like the Roccat – Kone, it seems to hit all the marks except it is a bit large for me. The size is more of a preference, I could see how it would not bother most people. If you noticed, I did not mention the RGB lights. As I have said in countless other reviews, who cares about the shiny lights - form and function over the marketing glitz. This mouse has good form and function.

Not a standout,there is better for the same money
on November 3, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
I guess the most important thing to remember is this is a $70 pair of headphones. The Roccat Elo 7.1 USB RGB PC Gaming Headset budget headset geared to those enamored with shiny lights over performance. While the headset is relatively comfortable, I ran into several performance issues. The overall sound does not stand out and surround sound is mediocre at best. It seemed almost like the volume was not loud enough even though I had it at a reasonable level. The microphone is clear (as far I could tell by asking the person on the other end) but could benefit with some noise cancellation. The build is almost all plastic and what you would expect in this price range.
In conclusion, there is a myriad of lower tier headphones. The Roccat Elo does not really stand out from any of the pack.TO me, the Corsair and the Turtle Beach sound better in this price range. It is not that this is a terrible headset, I just think you get better for the same price from the competition. The only thing I could say is in Roccat’s favor is they could compete on a price point if this goes on sale for $50 or less.

The ROCCAT® Vulcan series of gaming keyboards have won an array of awards on the back of their design innovation and functional aesthetics. The ROCCAT® Vulcan 121 AIMO Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard is a full-size keyboard variant and features the renowned Linear Titan Switch Mechanical. A marvel of German engineering, this switch delivers the industry’s best in speed and responsiveness. It adds to a comprehensive feature set that gamers know and love about the Vulcan keyboard series. The low-profile design is engineered for comfort and to reduce typing fatigue, impressive durability and build quality thanks to its reinforcing black anodized aluminum top plate, and switch housings designed to resist the dust build-up that typically affects mechanical keyboards. Dedicated mixer-style audio controls, a detachable palm rest and per-key AIMO RGB lighting, round out a gaming powerhouse.

Good but not a standout.
on November 2, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
It’s been a while since I reviewed a keyboard and it really is the same old same old. I am not a huge PC gamer, I tend to use gaming keyboards in a more utilitarian application more than anything else. The ROCCAT - Vulcan 121 was used over a week in a work application and some light gaming. First thing to get past is the marketing nonsense, the shiny apple of a RGB backlight is only important if you are a 13 year old. I’m not trying to insult anyone reading, but ask yourself – do you really care about how pretty a keyboard is ? Or if you are , how long do you think that will last?
Here is what I think is important :
Fit and finish –
The Roccat - Vulcan 121 appears nice. I say appears it the keyboard tries to give it a better impression than what it may be. The top is aluminum, it has high grade , premium appearance. However, what it is screwed into is another matter- standard plastic that is nothing special. Plastic does not mean it is bad, I just think for the price the whole thing could have been aluminum. There is no flex whatsoever so it is still solid. The weight is about 2.5 lbs so it does stay in place when gaming ( I find weight important for gaming keyboards.)
Keys –
Like any higher end gaming keyboard, the keys are super responsive. Roccat dubs their set up as “ Titan Switch Linear – the industry’s best mix of speed and responsiveness.” Of course, that is all marketing nonsense. What I found is while it is very responsive, I would have preferred a more tactile resistance of the key stroke. I guess the best way to articulate is the keys do not offer any type of push back as you are typing. You can feel the difference compared to the Logitech 915 or even the Razor. This is a matter of preference; it has no impact on quality. What I do not like is the physical size of the keys and the spacing. Roccat uses a longer key than it is wide. I found myself mis-hitting keys quite often, something I did not find on some competing models that I have reviewed.
Features –
I’m not going to go into all the features, you can see that in the description and other reviews. It is the same of nearly all the other gaming keyboards. I will say I do like that you can store macros and profiles on the device itself. Not unique to the Roccat but definitely nice.
In the end, peripherals should be looked at in two main areas – form and function. The RGB lights and multitude of configuration options are window dressing. Is this a nice keyboard? Absolutely. Does it stand out from the rest of pack – absolutely not. It’s price point is a few bucks less than Steel Series equivalent and nearly $90 less than the Logitech G915 ( the bar in which all other keyboards should be compared to.) . Personally, it is not a good fit for me. The keys are awkward and too easy to push. Other reviewers love the keys, but I just made too many mistakes. Bottom line is the Roccat Vulcan is a fine keyboard but you really have to try out a gaming keyboard to see what feels the best.

Good value, feature rich,
on October 20, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
First thing with a $70 pair of earbuds ( or really any earbuds) is to set the proper expectations. Are they going to sound as good as an over the ear headset or earbuds that are 4 times the price? No, they are not. But with the JLabs Buds Air ANC True Wireless Earbuds, you are going to get a pair decent sounding earbuds at an affordable price but at the cost of some of the refinements of higher end earbuds. In review:
Pros
Included charging carry case.
Equalizer with multiple modes. I like the Signature mode the best.
Decent sound. Richer than it’s predecessor.
Only $70.
Battery life is long.
Cons
A bit large for my liking.
Fall out with too much movement.
Control a bit awkward.
Indifferent
Auto noise cancellation is just not as good as other brands I have tried. But it is hard to tell because of the nature of earbuds. I have the Sport Version of these earbuds and it just sounds better to me because I think it offers a better fit.
Overall, the JLabs Buds Air ANC True Wireless Earbuds do what they are supposed to. I am not sold on how well the ANC works and think the sound is only marginal improvement of its predecessors the JBuds Air True Wireless Earbuds ( sans the ANC.) While I applaud the $70 price tag, I do not see enough improvement to justify a 40% increase in price. Nonetheless, I would still recommend the earbuds since the overall value is still very good for the package you get.

Nothing pro about it. Awful.
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
When writing this review, I tried to remember that the Bella Pro Series 4.2-qt. Analog Air Fryer is really a $30 (on sale) appliance. However, this air fryer is just a terrible , cheap appliance. I don’t know how other people are giving it 5 stars. First, as with all air fryers - this does not fry anything. The term “air fryer” is a marketing term. The truth is air fryers are convection toaster ovens with a close heating element a fan to circulate air around the piece of food. The food container is designed to try to maximize air flow. This is exactly what I said when I reviewed the Bella Pro Series 6qt Digital Air Fryer. However, Bella Pro Series 4.2-qt. Analog Air Fryer is much worse than the larger digital version. The 4.2 qt is just too small. If you try to fill cooking container, it interferes with the with the air flow . Even small amounts of food do not cook well on the bottom and require that you pay special attention to flipping the food. I question how much “air frying” is actually going on as opposed to having food close to a concentrated heat source. It does crisp foods up but not at the level nor consistency you would expect. The controls are basic but functional – one knob for time and one for temperature. There is something to be said for basic controls, less to go wrong. In terms of quality, the Bella Pro Series 4.2-qt. Analog Air Fryer is marginal at best. The fit and finish are just cheap- unfinished screws in the container, thin plastic, questionable no stick food container – all subpar quality and even less than I would think of for a $30 air fryer. Even worse, the unit was absolutely filthy in the interior out of the box so make sure you clean it thoroughly when you first get it.
There is not a lot to like about this air fryer other than it is inexpensive. The Bella Pro Series 4.2-qt. Analog Air Fryer is just too small, too cheaply made and has too little features to recommend. You would be far better served by getting a larger more expensive air fryer. Does it work? Sure, but the performance is at the bottom of the spectrum and I would not use this on anything but the smallest and basic of foods. 2 stars and only because it works somewhat and is only $30 on sale.

Just great.

Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
from Farmingdale, NY
It has been years since I used a speakerphone for PC based IP calls. I really did not see the need but started to notice the last few months that the mic and speakers were just not cutting on my work Surface Pro. Like so many people out there, I’ve been forced to work from home and live on Zoom, Fuze and Microsoft Teams for communication. I can honestly say that the Anker Power Conference Bluetooth Speakerphone made the world of difference. I have had zero people telling me they cannot understand what I am saying and everyone I asked stated my calls were perfectly clear. One of the issues I’ve had with my Surface Pro for calls is the microphone would pick up too much background sound when my air conditioner turned on. Not anymore, the noise cancellation and multiple microphone design that isolates the speaker that Anker has in this speakerphone is perfect. In review:
- The audio pickup is simply fantastic. It is just great, no other way to put it.
- Speech is clear and easy to understand
- Top notch quality and compact design with a carry case. It feels like it is a combination of high quality
plastic and aluminum.
- Bluetooth or USB connection. I used both but ended up using the USB . The speakerphone was up and
running in under a minute.
- Built in power bank to charge USB devices.

Great quality, even greater value.

I’ve owned and reviewed many wireless headsets. In fact, I own the previous model of the Epic Air Sport ANC wireless earbuds. JLab makes great products at an affordable price, the Epic Air Sport ANC continues this tradition.
Set up and app–
Pairs easy as anything else Bluetooth these days. You should download the app first because the earbuds require an immediate firmware update. The app let’s you customize the controls, adjust the equalizer , update the earbuds and control the auto noise cancellation.
Fit –
I found the earbuds very comfortable and extremely secure. No matter how I moved around, they held fast. I like the around ear design that the JLab Epic Air Sport, it is far superior to Apple Airpods.
Sound –
For earbuds, I found the sound to be very good. Of course, they are not as good as over the ear head phones but the sound is rich, clear across lows , mids and highs. The auto noise cancellation seems to work but it is hard tell to what level. I did make a phone call while outside and the sound bi-directionally was clear.
Quality and features –
Wireless charging , long battery life, water and dust resistant, charging case, touch controls. Google Assistant activation – the list goes on . I’m not going to go over the nitty gritty features, you can see that in the Bestbuy description. Rest assured, it has all the features you will ever use.
So is it worth it? Every penny, The Epic Air Sport ANC wireless earbuds are only $100. That is a lot of features and quality for something that is $150 less than Apple Airpods. I recommend completely, what a great value. This one is tough to beat.

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.

My Sony clock radio is randomly going off in the middle of the night. I have it set at 5:30am. Why is it doing this?

You probably have the second alarm set by accident .

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.
