Body Comp offers a total body assessment with weight precise up to 50g, plus full body composition metrics (body fat and water percentage, plus muscle and bone mass), cardiovascular assessment (Standing Heart Rate, Vascular Age), and an Electrodermal Activity Score, providing the most complete and accurate overview of body metrics ever offered. Every weigh-in appears in the Withings app automatically, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth sync. And unlike many smart scales, with Wi-Fi sync, you don’t have to have your phone with you when you weigh-in to synchronize your data.

So much information to help me stay on track!

The withings body comp smart scale has been a really motivating thing for me.
I have struggled with weight for the last 10 years and although its not medically problematic (yet) It does make me fell bad about my health and image a lot of the times.
When I got the Body Comp scan, i didn't expect it to do the things it does, to be honest i thought it would be like most gimmicky gadgets that ill use for a few days and then lose interest in. but I WAS WRONG.
+ Unpacking and first use took 7 minutes, the scale can be placed on hard floor or carpet with the assist of carpet boosters that are included in the box.
+ I downloaded the withings app and connected the scale as a new device, then created my profile with my DOB and weight and height.
+ once I was done i got a tip from the app that it can import data from other aps like Google Fit (which is amazing!) i gave it permission to and then over 12 years of data about weight and health was imported to the app.
+ I read the instructions and was ready to jump on the scale for the first time.
+ I went on the scale Bare foot (must do it barefoot) and it started measurements in the following order: weight, weight fluctuation for that weight session, BMI, visceral fat percentage, muscle mass, heart rate, vascular age (need 5 or more scans to get it to work and I think it needs more time to regulate), EDM, and weather and air quality then it turns itself off.
+ once you step down the weigh in session does sync with the app and you will be able to see how your health is trending.
+ the scale will know its you when you go on it by your weight and body fingerprint. if someone else who doesn't have an account on the app jumps on, the scale will keep a record of these weigh ins until you create a profile for the other people.
Personal tips:
- I like to have my weigh ins in the morning, on an empty stomach right before i take a shower. this keeps measurements consistent.
- I also have the Withings scan watch, combining the data from the watch and the scale opens a whole new spectrum of data inside the same app which includes your EKG, O2 saturation, Sleep patterns and disturbances. I haven't wore that watch in over a year, but now i wear it 24/7 as the data coming from the scale and the watch give me a great idea about my health on a daily basis.
with the help of this scale and how easy it is to access data I was able to lose over 3 pounds in 2 weeks and I am eating better and trying to sleep better.
when I get my measurement in the morning, it gives me will to keep my nutrition habits good and to exercise a little bit more than I would normally like.
Its the little things that you do, a 1% enhancement today will be monumental 10 years from now.
I completely recommend this scale and hope you all have a great health

Let’s clear the air with Blueair. Blue Pure 211i Max HEPASilent smart air purifier quickly cleans 635 sq. ft extra-large room in about 12.5 min or up to 1,524 sq. ft XL space in 30 min, on high. This air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 410 for fine smoke particles, dust and pollen.
Posted by: AKK1
I want to start by saying that the Blue Pure 211i Max is not my first Blueair. 2 years ago I bought a Blueair - Classic 605 Smart Console 775 Sq and never looked back. We were able to instantly feel the difference in air quality in our home and our allergy suffering went down significantly.
When I saw that Blueair has started making sexy looking models that fit within any décor I decided to pull the trigger on the Blue Pure 211i Max since I needed a new purifier for the living space.
The great thing about the Blue Pure 211i Max is that you can set it to automatic and forget about it, it will automatically set fan rpm based on need or air quality, it stays silent at night and you can actually almost not realize its running unless the air quality is bad.
the app is as easy and well built as they come. a lot of information to see and its a great option if you have pets at home while you are out.
also, the Blue Pure 211i Max looks like a Google home mini but big, with the white color and the nice fabric body that actually covers the filter. the great thing is that those fabric covers come in many different colors to fit your style. I guess this is a home run for Blueair, well designed, wonderfully equipped and correctly priced product.

I just wish they had a bigger size!

If I can give 10 stars to this AW3423DWF I would've! Listen to this, its OLED, Curved, insanely low latency rate and honestly, not that expensive for what you are getting.
The brightness on this thing is unreal, the blacks are so dark and immersive it added extra layer of joy for when playing games like RDR and Forza.
whats in the box?
you get the monitor, the stand and a plastic cover plate for the back for cable management, you also get every cable you might need to use this montor and even to daisy chain it.
one port I wish it had is a display out to link another monitor directly without the need to use a hub or a docking station.
putting this thing together takes a minute and the last step is taking the monitor out of the box. its big and bulky, yet not super heavy.
the monitor comes color calibrated from the factory with a calibration sheet printed specifically after calibrating this monitor.
I like that I am able to set different modes for different viewing modes from gaming to movies to productivity.
I like the fact that you can search and update the firmware on this device without the need to take it to a Dell service center, unlike its more expensive elder twin, the AW3423DW.
Oh and one more thing, this Monitor has PNP for productivity, what more do you need?
This monitor has it all, I just wish they had it in 49 inches.

Unfinished product design
on April 23, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
This is our 5th Robo vacuum in 5 years. for the purposes of this review, I will be comparing this Ecovacs T9+ to laset years RoboRock S7MaxV.
- The T9+design is Wonderful and its elegant in a way that makes it fit in any environment.
- The build quality is wonderful and sturdy, while making cleaning and replacing the different parts that will go through wear and tear very easy, I would even go to say that an 8 years old can trouble shoot this T9+.
- Software controls are OK, a bit busy but you can find anything you need and it has some features that are not available in other high end Robo vacs. like the freshener options and scheduling multiple cleans for the same surface and 3d mapping.

unfortunately this is where the ROBO part ends, because it was very disappointing to learn that the T9+ CANNOT vacuum and mop at the same time, it CANNOT work on hard flooring and carperts at the same time.
it order to use mopping, you will need to detach the vacuum part from the puck and insert the mopping part. this is anything but autonomous. this means it needs at least daily attention and you will have to swap modular parts if you want it to mop and vacuum daily.
this means scheduling is useless for it because you have to be present to swap them.
I can't stress how annoying this is for a Robovac that is $799

There is a big price difference between the 2 Robot Vacuums, but to be completely honest, the Superior RoboRock S7MaxV's price is totally justifiable because it is completely autonomous, it requires care once a week only. that is for filling the clean water tank and emptying the dirty water tank. and I do clean it once a month to take care of untangled hair, clean the washable filter, etc.
conclusion: the Ecovacs Deebot T9+ is a great concept that is not finished yet. I personally cannot justify paying the retail price for this product as it stands right now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Its VERY expensive, but its TOTALLY worth it!

Turtle Beach - Stealth Pro Multiplatform wireless, noise cancelling gaming headset for Playstation5 is a great headset for long hours of use and it packs a powerful headset capability along with top of the line noise cancelling features and 2 batteries so you can swap batteries in a matter of seconds and continue your gaming experience.
Packaging:
the packaging is what you expect from Stealth, very neatly packed and it looks like you are discovering easter eggs with every unfold.
the headset comes with the following:
- Headset
- Base for choosing platform (pc, or playstation) that also works as a bluetooth connector to the console/ pc and a battery charger at the same time.
- detachable flexible microphone
- nice velvety pouch that am sure no one will use.
- a couple USB A to USB C cables
- quick start guide.

- a couple USB A to USB C cables
- quick start guide.
just to clear something up, this headset works with every platform. that includes MAC, PC, Nintendo switch, IOS, Android, PS4, PS5. it has specific capabilities to enhance the experience when using with PS5.
Build quality:
the build quality for turtle beach keeps getting better and better. I have $500+ Harmon Kardon headsets that barely feel and look as nice as these Turtle Beach headsets.
This headset is on the heavy side, but you dont feel the weight when wearing it. the head arc rest is made of metal and covered with flexible plastic and a nice memory foam to keep your scalp comfortable.
the ear cups and big and the foam is thick for maximum comfort.
this headset also looks really good. it looks and feels very expensive.

noise cancelling and volume: I have 1 word only. SUPERIOR.
switching between platforms: the wireless charging transmitter that looks like a puck has a button to toggle between PS and PC for maximum compatibility.
i loved how the headset volume can be set using the remappable wheel on the left side ear cup and that the battery cover is on the right side ear cup and is held by 3 strong magnets so it clicks securely in place and allows to change battery in a matter of seconds.
also the detachable mic clicks in place and cant be inserted the wrong way.

Summary:
This is a very well thought design that was executed perfectly and it has a very good audio quality and overall features that makes it superior to most headsets in this price range.

Multifunction, speed and accuracy!
on March 15, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
The Canon imageCLASS MF753Cdw is a Multifunction Color laser printer with fax, copier that works with wired and wireless networks.
Unpacking was easy, open the tob of the box, flip it to its side, pull the printer out, strip of plastic nags and put it in its forever place (this thing is 50 lbs!)
setup is very easy where you can either use the CD that was sent with the printer, or just go to Canon website and download the most recent software and drivers.
setup took about 5 minutes and I chose to setup this MFD while on wireless. when you turn the printer on it will ask you to connect to a wireless network if it didnt recognize a wired network.
once installation is over, you can print a test page and it will ask to color calibrate and align itself which is also great.
best features:
- the scanner can scan using the fltabed or the auto paper feeder. the scanner is fast with decent quality 600*600 DPI for color or black white scanning. that goes for both feeder and flatbed.
- copier/ printer is FAST: first print takes less than 10 seconds and at full speed I could get 35 prints per minute.
- Colors are vivid for color and photo printing. I have a laser Samsung C43X, this Canon is miles ahead in terms of speed, color accuracy and sharpness. albeit the Samsung is half the size of this Canon and is 2 years older.
- Wireless printing works great! after the Software update that I got 2 days ago, the wireless printing and the printing interface/ controls over all is very good.
- the cartridge are on the expensive side, but I think they will take long time before needing replacement.
- the Printer has 3 years full warrantee, this is unheard of in business class MFD's and a great welcome!
- the printer has a huge 5 inch touch screen to access all functions and setting.
Cons:
- drum/ waste tray/ print toners are on the expensive side, but i believe its worth it for a small business.
- there is no USB printer cable included in the box so if you are relying on local usb connection, better have a cable ready.
- the printer is bulky and heavy, if your home office is small, this is an over kill for you.

meaningful gift to my son
on February 5, 2023
Posted by: AKK1
I have been using Phillips shavers for over 35 years myself and in the past few weeks I gifted the Norelcoo 9000 multigroom to my 14 years old son. we bonded as we both felt that it is the end of a childhood and the beginning of being a man.
the Norelco 9000 is all that a man, young or old needs to take care of his facial, head and body hair.
it has a compete set of trimmers including a nose hair trimmer, a trimmer for sideburns and mustache and a trimmer for the body.
it also comes with multiple combs to adjust how close the cut is and how long the hair should be.
the Norelco 9000 is safe to use dry or wet, it comes with a nice bag that keeps all the stuff together.
a welcome addition is that the norelco now comes with a USB 2 chargig cable that has a USB 2 on one side to plug into a USB charger and the other end is the known Phillips charging port.
no charger was included.
the price is fair, and the quality is known and a new bond between a father and son has been achieved.
thank you Phillips.

When I moved into my current house a couple years ago, there was an older model Simplisafe installed and resetting it and programming it to my liking was a very easy task.
When I got the chance to try this new Simplisafe home security system with indoor and outdoor cameras i jumped at the chance to see what is updated and man is it easier and more intuitive now!
you have 2 way to setup the system either by downloading the app and setting up using the step by step guide from the app or installing the control unity and going from there for an offline install.
I chose to install using the guided steps using the app.
you download the app- setup a user name and password and add your information like contact info and address, start adding the accessories which are plenty!
you get 8 entry sensors that you use for doors and windows
2 motion sensors
2 cameras, one indoor and one outdoor.
a glass break sensor which is amazing!
a panic push button
1 keyfob (i wish there were 2)
the base station (uses wifi- i wish there was an option for wired as well)
the white keypad

the great thing about this system is that its modular, you can buy more sensors, cameras based on your need and setting up is as easy as 1-2-3 using the app.
you have the ability to name each sensor so in case of an emergency, you would know where the issue is.
the camera has 2 way audio for communication and deterring,
there is a subscription option to connect you with the police if you want for a fast response in case of an emergency.
both options are great!
conclusion:
I now feel that my family is safer that we have the newest simplisafe system. the ability to add sensors based on need is great.
the fact that an 8 years old could setup the system is also wonderful.
the price is decent.

My photo editing companion for 22 years straight

I have been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4 was published in 2000, back when rendering a photo after applying a few filters and changes meant you had to wait for a good 30 minutes to see the changes. it blew my mind then and it keep getting better year after year.
Photoshop Elements 2023 have a few updates that made it more easier to deal with especially with the addition of Adobe Sensei AI. adding features such as motion to a still photo and adding depth and much much more.

as for Adobe Premiere elements I have to say that I have been enjoying the last few editions so much that it became a must to get every edition, every year.
I use Premiere elements a lot for work as I splice videos and apply voice over and sync audio that doesnt match videos. premiere is very very easy to deal with even if you don't have ANY experience.
another way I use and enjoy premiere is for editing the footage I get from my drones.
I have a DJI Mavic Air 2S and the newer DJI mini pro 3 and using the footage that i get from both to make nice videos (long and short) much easier.

Installation is very easy:
If you have an adobe account you will be asked to sign in and then activate the product using the serial number you have.
if you do not have an adobe account, creating one will take a couple minutes.
I love my adobe products and I use them almost daily.

Doesn't fit gaming 17.3 laptops

The solo Code pro is a very nice lookimg, well made backpack with a few issues:
Practicality:
- the main pocket was able to fit my notebooks, my tablets, pens, chargers and there was a ton of room left.
- the main laptop compartment wasn't able to fit my 17 inch Alienware without compromising both the zipper and the corners of the bag and the laptop itself.
- the bottom padding of the bag is extremely thin, I wouldn't want to rough up the bag or drop it even from a chair hight if it has a laptop in it.
- there is a strap for hanging with travel cases which is important these days.
- shoulder straps are comfortable and adjustable.
- both sides have stretch pockets that will fit a regular size water bottle, but not an over sized one.
- the bag looks and feels waterproof, I spilled some water on it on purpose and water droplets slid right down and it didn't feel wet at all, no water went inside.
- the back bottom has a zipper pocket that can fit a wallet or small valuable item. I like it.

at the end I decided to use this backpack for my work laptop as this back is a better fit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
Does the Garnin unit have to be plugged into the car charger for power when in use? If so does Garmin offer a hard wire kit with or for the unit or will any universal kit work?
it has to be plugged in at all times, and it comes with the charger and it is long enough to fit in any car.

I ordered the speak plus. I have a 2013 infiniti FX 37. I scheduled Geek squad installation and need to know if there is any additional hardware that I need to buy to have it installed. I want the power source to be from the veh no visible cords.
you do not need any other hardware for installation.

Everything you love about Google, for work and play. Google Pixelbook is the first laptop with the Google Assistant* built in. Its super thin, 4-in-1 design includes a long-lasting battery and 7th Gen Intel® Core™** processor. It also comes with all the apps you already know and love including Youtube, Infinite Painter, Google Play Movies, Evernote, Slack, Lightroom, Google Photos and many more***.*Google Assistant requires Internet connection.**Intel and Intel Core are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries.***Availability and performance of certain apps and services may vary by region. Subscriptions(s) may be required, and additional terms, conditions and/or charges may apply. Pixelbook and Pixelbook Pen are optimized for selected apps and services only.
Why bother with the I7, when every review has the I5 running Chromium "ridiculously fast"? Ditto for RAM: Running small footprint apps instead of fully-fledged software begs the question, "What app needs 16GB?" The SSD upgrade I-get, but not for $700
absolutley no need for an I7, i have the I5 and it is blazing fast!
even no need to get a bigger SSD. the Pixelbook comes with 100GB of free storage for 2 years on Google Drive.

Will this system be expandable beyond the 3 included devices? I am considering this for a large building with solid concrete walls. We would probably need 6 or more of these to cover the whole building. Is this possible?
