Reliable outlet at a very reasonable price

This Best Buy 6 outlet surge protector with 1090 joules protection does the job perfectly well.
I have it connected to a gaming laptop, a gaming screen, a laser printer, 2 USB high capacity chargers and a paper shredder.
I have it fixed to the bottom of my standing desk to hide wires and the length of electric cable is perfect and more than enough for this specific use case.
Previously I had a different brand surge protector that was 4 times as expensive but the cable was much shorter, I no longer have this issue.
the plug in outlets on this surge protector are firm and have a snug fit which is great because in the past I have had issues where the plugs would slip out and fall when they are inserted upside down,
another problem this surge protector solved for me.
Buying an surge protector that has the Best Buy brand on it makes me feel confident of the quality of the product and helps me keep my investment in my electronics and appliances safe.
this is a very good product that I know will last for years to come.

This goes with me everywhere I go.

Imagine having a tool that works for your every need in this digital age, a tool that would charge your phones, laptops, convey data between devices, work as an Awesome connection with 4K capabilities between a laptop and a TV or monitor, and also be a lossless connection between your car and Android device.
the above is what the Insignia™ - 3.28ft (1m) Thunderbolt 4 cable, USB-C to USBC cable does for my needs. It has been travelling with me for a few weeks now and its yet to dissapoint.
I need to mention that I am very rough with cables and I do tend to replace them quite a bit due to the high usage rate and due to the fact that most of them even the pricy ones are not made to be handled 10's of times per day.
this cable is thinker that any other cable I have seen. infact, I have seen HDMI cables thinner than this!
it is well constructed and well protected, the USB C ends are very well shielded and it is very hard to bend the cable at the end of the USB C cable (where 99% of cables fail usually).
the USB C connectors are made well, they feel solid and the connected easily, yet firmly to all 15 devices I use daily at home, at work or on the move.
data transfer rates with this thing are insane, I compared it in real life application to other good quality cables that are newish but not Thunderbolt 4 from Insignia and Anker- nothing comes even close to this with data transfer.
this is my cable to use going forward.

Keeps my carbonated water fizzy for longer
on October 19, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
Ninja Thirsti 18 oz is the water bottle is didn't know I needed.
If you are the average person in USA, then you have at least one water bottle laying around at least.
I have 4 of them, one in the car, one light weight for long hikes and 2 at work that i use.
Happy to report that i have replaced all of them with the Thirsti 18 oz because it indeed keeps cold drinks cold for the whole day, and if you add ice you can get up to 2 days but who does that!, and when it comes to hot drinks it does keep them hot for at least 8 hours (my testing period during an 8 hour shift).
the best part is that this little magic bottle keeps carbonated drinks fizzy for a long time!
I have a carbonated water maker at the office and I always struggled because the drinks constantly get flat, but not with this Ninja!
I can confirm that my carbonated water stayed bubbly for the whole day, while it stayed cold. the locking mechanism is great so no bubbles leave, and even when its in t he car with car movement, this didn't seem to effect the bubbles.
the price is right, the size is right where it fits everywhere and does look elegant and not your run of the mill water bottle. best of all it WORKS!

Wonderful in ear headphones at a great price
on October 19, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
Soundcore - by Anker P25i True Wireless In-Ear headphones are great if you know who the demographic is.
I have a teenage son who goes through headphones at a pair per month, irresponsible? maybe but I couldn't just keep getting him expensive headphones for him to lose them at school or at the gym.
so my search began and I found these soundcore by Anker.
Knowing how great the anker brand is when it comes to high quality chargers and powerbanks I decided to get these and what a surprise!
now only the sound is great with no disruptions or echoing, but they are also light weight, they have a great battery life (no surprise here), but the connections is stable and they are IP65 resistant.
my son was so happy with them and with the quality of the sound he told me these have a sound quality that almost matched his previous Google Pixel Buds sound.
these do not have noise cancelling but I found the controls, touch controles and the customizability through the app refreshing.
the case build is solid and the strap makes it easier to hook them inside his backpack so they are always in the same place unless he needs to charge the case.
the sound is premium compared to the price, the battery life is superb as usual and comparable to any other headphones with 10X the price.
I believe that my next headphones will be made by Soundcore by Anker.

Best recovery option at a decent price
on October 12, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
The Theragun pro plus is a great option for athletes, highly active people in almost any sport and older active people as well.
The many attachment that vary in purpose from heat therapy, vibrating joint therapy attachment, the thumb, the micro pint, the wedge and dampers are great for full body treatment of muscles and joints alike.
I do regular hard hikes weekly or semi weekly and found the pro plus a huge help in cutting recovery time.
When hiking hard, with elevation the pressure going up is on your knees mostly, while on the way back it becomes harder and harder and calfs and anckles.
Theragun pro plus helped recover anckles and knees by using the vibration attachment that makes recovery much faster and eased the pain.
The heat attachment is great for pre workout to loosen stiff muscles to avoid injury.
I also use the thumb for the area between my shoulder blades.
Another really high point of the pro plus is the app.
It's really useful especially with the breathing exercises that it provides. I was able to slow down my heart rate and relax for real after less than 5 minutes of exercise. I plan on doing this every day.
Another success point of the pro plus you ask? It has a USB C charging port. This way I get to carry one charger and one cable for my phone, my laptop and my Theragun. This is really huge and great and makes life easier! The small things.
The pro plus has a cold attachment that is not included in the package which is the cold therapy one. I do plan on getting it as it should be the best one for recovery. I wish it was included in the price and package but it is what it is.
Finally, the pouch that the gun and attachments come in is really durable and protective, yet looks nice and simple.
I really think Theragun knocked it out the park with this one.

Balance between smart watch and fitness tracker wi
on October 2, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
Before getting the Garmin Venu 3 GPS, I have been switching smart watches between a Withins ScanWatch ($350) and a Tissot Connected T-Touch ($1200).
The reason behind choosing those 2 watches above others was the amazing battery life where the Withins would give me a month of usage (with limited smart watch features but good fitness tracking) and 6 months of battery use with the Tissot (good fitness tracking and poor smartwatch features).
When I saw the Venu 3 that claimed almost 14 days of battery life, a bigger screen with Garmins reputation with fitness tracking, I decided to give it a try.
When I saw the Venu 3 that claimed almost 14 days of battery life, a bigger screen with Garmins reputation with fitness tracking, I decided to give it a try.
Build quality and design:
I love the black polymer look where its not fully gloss but not fully matte either, the band is comfortable and stays clean, the watch looks biggish and stylish with everything you wear, and I can wear it to work and to work out or basketball unlike my metal withins and Tissot.
Features I am enjoying the most:
- One very underrated feature is nap tracking, this is the first watch that does that without messing sleep tracking.
- Bright screen with images from texts and newsfeed showing on the screen!
- Body battery energy that seems and feels very accurate
- Calory expenditure and showing how many calories I spent during activity and during rest! This helped me a lot with regulating my intake.
- Stress monitoring and management.
- Great app with detailed features while still getting most of the information collected on the watch itself.
- Heart rate monitor
- Respiration rates
- Calendar snapshots which show you your activity withing the app.
- Good selection of watch faces in the app.

Features I miss having that are not available in this watch:
- Integration with Google Fit (both my Withins and my Tissot integrate with fit and that’s how I have been tracking and having most of my fitness stats since 2014. This is not available with Garmin.
- No Oximeter. And honestly at this price point, its disappointing.
- Strange charging port placement and clickness. I have charged the battery once and I was afraid that I will snap the port pins while I was plugging the watch in.

Real life usage for what this watch is intended for:
I do like hiking a lot and I do hard hikes a few times a year, I did one hike recently while having this watch in Smokey Mountains to top rock and I had another fitness tracker on and 2 of my friends have different trackers/ smartwatches as well.
The Venu 3 was as accurate as any of them and it was really great to see all the different measures it takes in real time.

Conclusion:
In my opinion and through my use of different smart watches that fit my life and priorities, I do believe that that Venu 3 is a great option that have most features I need from both a smart watch and a fitness tracker without the compromising short battery life.

Best Priced Starter Gaming Laptop in 2023?
on September 9, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
**Overview:**
The MSI Bravo 15, sporting a 15.6-inch 144hz FHD display and packed with the Ryzen 5, 16 GB RAM, and RTX 4050, stands out as an excellent everyday-use laptop and a commendable introduction to the world of gaming laptops.

**Design:**
At first glance, the MSI Bravo boasts a refined, sleek design with a relatively slim profile. Its understated appearance makes it versatile enough to be used for daily tasks or even carried to an office setting without drawing unnecessary attention. The matte black finish seamlessly camouflages the subtle gaming-oriented accents, such as the unique etching on the cover and the colored keys. Despite its modest price tag, the build quality feels robust, giving off a premium vibe.

Despite its modest price tag, the build quality feels robust, giving off a premium vibe.
- **Hinges:** They are sturdy, allowing a smooth one-hand operation to open or close the lid. Impressively, the hinge can fully recline to 180 degrees, mitigating the risk of over-flexing.
- **Keyboard:** It offers a satisfying typing experience. Although the keys produce a mechanical sound, they're cushioned and responsive.
- **Touchpad:** The touchpad is adequately sized with a good tactile click. It’s designed intuitively so that it doesn't hinder gameplay when not using an external keyboard.
- **Ports:** Users get a generous selection including 1 USB C, 3 USB A, a headphone jack, an Ethernet port, and an HDMI 2 port. The inclusion of an ethernet port at this price is a delightful surprise.

**Performance and Thermals:**
The laptop’s underside reveals an elaborate system of copper pipes designed for efficient heat dissipation. This certainly pays off as the laptop stays cool, avoiding any lag, stutters, or freezes during gameplay, even if the settings are adjusted to medium or low. However, remember, this is a starter gaming laptop, so understanding its limits is crucial.

**Gaming Experience:**
While it might not rival the performance of beasts like the RTX 4080 Alienware, the Bravo 15 ensures an enjoyable gaming experience. Its portability is a standout feature; being lightweight makes it an ideal travel companion, and its non-flashy design won't make you the center of attention in more professional settings.

The Dyson V11 Extra cordless vacuum cleaner is engineered with the power, versatility and run time to deep clean homes with pets. Dyson’s de-tangling Motorbar cleaner head deep cleans carpets and hard floors with hair removal vanes that clear long hair and pet hair from the brush bar. The innovative Hair screw tool with a conical brush bar is perfect for cleaning upholstery and pet beds. The Dyson V11 has advanced, whole-machine filtration that expels cleaner air. Its versatile cordless format transforms into a handheld vacuum with one click so you can clean up high, down low and everywhere in-between with 3 cleaning modes for the right power where you need it. LED display shows remaining battery power, power modes and maintenance alerts. Comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime Dyson support.

Dyson is not a cheap brand name, but the innovation and quality of their products always justify the price if you can afford it. Dyson products will last long after you bought them and they have a great after sales support if you need it.
The V11 Extra Cordless vacuum is no different.
Right from unboxing, I could see how much thought and care was put into designing this product and while they had all the reasons to not be environmentally friendly, all the packaging material was recycled and only the outer box was color printed.
One very important thing to mention is that Dyson Vacuums are compatible when it comes to batteries, chargers, accessories and wall stations. This is a huge plus for us since we have a Dyson outsize and everything is interchangeable between the 2.
If you are a first time Dyson user let me assure you that this V11 extra is no joke! The suction is great and powerful and it can take on 700+ square feet of carpet/ hardwood floor before you need to empty it. I live with 2 humans with long hair and 3 cats and the hair is always everywhere and we vacuum almost daily. That’s why we needed another Vacuum for the second floor hence the Dyson V11 Extra.
One huge difference between this new 2023 model and the previous models from Dyson is the new de-tangling Motor bar cleaner head deep cleans carpets and hard floors with hair removal vanes that clear long hair and pet hair from the brush bar. This is a very effective new feature that will save me 10 minutes cleaning the brush bar on my other Vacuums every week.
When hair gets tangled in a brush bar, the suction power becomes less and the brush bar slows down and doesn’t turn as much which can be a fire hazard.
Another great feature of Dyson is that battery life is great, I can clean up to 2500 square feet at least twice before needing to recharge it. the LCD screen shows you how much battery life is left and it also has a button for you to choose suction power depending on floor and maintenance needs if any.
The other difference with this cleaning head is that you don’t need to adjust a toggle on the cleaning head to choose between hardwood and carpet, the new technology works on all floors very effectively.
Although the suction is very strong thanks to Dyson’s 14 cyclones, its not that loud. Our pets don’t seem bothered by it.
The Dyson V11 Extra comes with all the accessories you need to take care of all y our needs of vacuuming you floors, carpets, furniture, vents, stairs and even your car.
• It includes a Motor bar cleaner head, wall dock, charger
• Combination tool, crevice tool, hair screw tool, mini soft dusting brush
• Stubborn dirt brush, mattress tool, up-top tool, extension hose, and wand clip

Emptying the bin is very easy and not messy at all, you lower the toggle on the bin and it slides down to push the dirt out. You can empty it with one hand over a trash bin or into a trash bag.
I have only one issue with Dyson vacuums that they don’t seem to change which is the vacuum trigger. In order to operate the vacuum you need to push and hold the trigger of the vacuum without letting go to keep the vacuum on, if you are vacuuming a large space your finger will be fatigued after a while and I know for sure this is an easy fix that Dyson can take care of but they choose not to.
Other than that, this is the perfect, elegant, powerful and best option for a cordless vacuum cleaner that can be a large home with pets all in one solution to vacuuming.
I have attached pictures to show the V11 Extra next to the Dyson outsize (the bigger one) for reference.
Happy cleaning!
Happy cleaning!

The Alienware m16 is a wonderful machine and it is worthy of its price tag. I say this coming from a 2022 Alienware R17 with RTX 3070. the difference in performance is worth it.
what's to love?
- Alienware name
- Alienware build quality
- the ability to upgrade Ram (2 slots) and to add an additional M2 NVME SSD. I opened my laptop for you to see where you can upgrade the SSD and replace the Ram modules (highlighted in purple)
- Win 11 Professional- I know this isn't for everyone but I sometime have to access work files from home. because of the nature of my work I have to have bitlocker enabled in order for me to join my workgroup, which requires Win professional.

what's to like:
- Screen Quality is very good with 165 hz display. its bright enough for gaming if you want to use it and more than great for work, streaming.
- Keyboard quality is good and has a somewhat mechanical feel to it.
- The wifi adapter is great: comes with Killer E3100G 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- comes with an SD card reader.

What's left to be desired:
- Finger print security.
- a smaller charging brick! this thing is going no where, check the picture and you will understand what i am saying.

game play: This is really a great gaming laptop at a not a bad deal price. it ran all games I play with ease (Forza 5, GOW, NFS Hot Persuit remastered). with the G-sync ability and the superior ray tracing that comes as part of the 4070 package, I don't have anything to complain about.
I added a picture of this M16 on top of the 2022 R17 from Alienware as a reference if you were contemplating getting 16 or 17 inches.
this laptop is great and I plan on swapping the Ram to the max of 64 GB and I will add another NVME to have a 3 TB total.

The Shark Steam & Scrub scrubbing and sanitizing* steam mop gently scrubs and sanitizes* all at once. The combination of steam and rotating pads delivers up to 2x better stuck-on stain removal vs. traditional steam mops** on sealed hard floors. This deeper cleaning removes dust, residue, grease, and bacteria while providing chemical-free sanitization*.
It can also be use in wood floor?
yes, this is designed for hardwood floors, tiles, and ceramic floors.

Get a new take on security, with the latest indoor 1080p FHD Wi-Fi security camera. Small and lightweight in design, this camera gives users the flexibility of multiple placement options along with a simple set-up and installation process. See more and know more with an ultra-wide 135° diagonal field of view and night vision capabilities. Pan and tilt to cover larger areas so you don’t miss out on the most important details. Be aware when you’re not there with person detection technology, which will notify you when a person is detected.
Can I installation this camera on ceiling?
The Lorex security camera is a great option for affordable Indoor home security camera that packs a lot of features:
whats in the box
- Lorex Security Camera
- Pre inserted 16 GB Micro SD card
- Micro USB to USB A cable
- USB power Adapter with 1 Amp output
- Universal mount bracket
- mount kit
- Quick start guide in English, Spanish, and french
Setup:
- I unpacked the camera, connected it to the power adapter, waited until the led light on the camera turned to solid green per the instructions, downloaded the Lorex home app, followed the instructions to add a new device, scanned the QR code, and the rest was automatic and took less than a minute. once installation was complete I went to Lorex home app and it started a quick tutorial to show me how to control the camera from the app.
everything was seamless and all advertised features worked great and fast. the pan, tilt, and zoom options are snappy to respond and very easy to use through the Lorex home app, you also have to options to record SD, and HD. I found the SD acceptable and it saves space on the Micro SD card which I plan to replace with the max the Camera can support which is 256 GB.
the camera has a 2 way microphone option and it streams sound as well when you open the app.
the night vision is very acceptable and does what it should flawlessly.
The video quality is up to 1920 X 1080
The camera connects on 2.4 gh wireless network, or by plugging an Ethernet cable in its back (which is better for quality and streaming delay, and more secure).
Pros:
The camera is very easy to setup and very easy to use.
I was able to connect the camera to my google home app and to stream the camera feed to my google devices like Google nest screen, and my Google assistant enabled TV by simply asking Google assistant to stream my lorex feed to one of the connected devices.
You can take pictures from within the video incase you needed to.
there is a privacy mode where the camera lens will tilt and be covered inside the casing and the microphone will stop recording. you can reach it by simply opening the app and press the privacy mode button to enable or disable it.
the price is right!
the field of view is an absured 135 degrees which provides an ultra wide view
the Camera is very fast and responsive.
you have your own storage and there is no need for a monthly subscription. when the SD card is full the camera automatically start recording over the oldest recording on the SD card.
With the push notifications option, you can decide how many notifications the app sends to your phone (extremely handy when leaving the house for a weekend or a few days).
Cons:
there is really nothing much here, but it would've been great if:
1- the camera had a follow option where it would follow movement on its own when a mode that allows it is enabled (again when travelling or out of the house)
2- I wish the USB cable was a USB instead of a Micro USB cable (but this literally have no effect on anything since the camera will be connected and left in one place for the most part).
