Not enough Panels
on July 6, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
Nanoleaf starter kit has great potential and it can create something very beautiful, but comes with a hefty price if you want to add to the starter kit.
the Kit comes with 9 plastic panels and enough connectors and 3m stickers to install on a wall.
the 9 panels are not enough to create anything, I went to try to create the letter K and this is the best I could do with the current panel quantity and the way the panels have the connectors on. each panel has 3 connectors to hook to other panels or to the power adapter which can be connected to any panel, and not necessarily to the main panel that has the power.
setup is very easy and took less than 5 minutes including updating the firmware and hooking the nanoleaf to my wifi.
nanoleaf can be controlled using Gogle assistant or Alexa or apple of any IFTTT protocol enabled device.
the scene creation is easy and fun, the kids and the cats loved the changing themes when played with music.
the panels are responsive to music which mean it has a high sensitivity mic. Nanoleaf say they dont record sounds but who knows!
panels are also very responsive to touch and multi touch gestures. they can also be set to play specific scenes on a schedule that you can create and control using the app.
you can also set nanoleaf to play soft or cool white light in a not very well lit room or use it as a night light.
summary: Nanoleaf is a great addition to my home and it is definitely a conversation starter when you have people over. my cats are still amazed by it although its been a week so far.
the problem is the price, if you want a decent amount of panels to create something nice, you will be spending hundreds if not close to thousands to create something special.

Near Perfect!
on July 6, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
Beside not having a Micro SD card in the box, this Alexa enabled Dashcam is near perfect.
contents of the box:
Dashcam
2 different mounting mounts(suction, and 3M sticky mount)
12- 24 V power cable that is long enough to fit any car size
USB cable for initial charge at home, and to download videos to your pc
Plastic Power cable fitting tool (this was genius)
A quick user guide.
setup
first you need to charge the camera for 2 hours
then you need to find a suitable position in your car and run the wire and hide it using the fitting tool and connect the dashcam.
Remember that you have to separately purchase a micro SD card as the camera wont work or install updates without it.
download the NextBase dashcam app to your phone (IOS, or Android)
Install latest firmware, then install and setup the device on Alexa app and you are ready.
the dashcam itself has a high resolution touch screen which allows you to access different features from setting up date and time to recording resolution and length, to other features like parking sensor (if you have a rear cam connected), to accident detection and reporting.
the lens of the dashcam has a polarizing feature that allows you to control the glare from the windshield and reduce it.
the dashcam is very responsive and the quality of the recording is really good. up to 1080 @ 30 fps.
Using Alexa was also easy and responsive as usual. I have a Garmin Plus in my other car that has Alexa as well and I couldn't tell any difference in response.
you can setup the dashcam to auto off to avoid draining the car battery, you can also easily activate parking mode so the dashcam would record only when it detects movement close to the car.
in case of an accident or for any reason you like there is a big button on the dashcam that you can click to save the last video taken and easily download to your phone afterwards.
there is also a feature where the dashcam would send an SOS with coordinates when it senses an accident and NO RESPONSE from the driver or the people in the car.
Like other dashcams, this on can time stamp a lot of things on the footage recorded like date and time, speed, and GPS coordinates.
summary: I loved this dashcam and only took out a star because it didnt include a Micro SD card, and because on the box itself it shows a Micro SD card with the NextBase brand on it.

Expected more from Hoover
on June 29, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
I'm (40) and grew up while we had an old Hoover which was still working when I left home at 20 years old. When I saw there was a new generation hand Hoover I decided to try the cordless hand Vacuum.
The design is nice and its well built so am going to address the cons and pros below:
Pros
- you know it will last because of the name.
- its sturdy
- it has a powerful motor
- the dirt cup is easy to clean, and rince if you needed to.
- the battery is a 2 amp Lithium Ion battery, so it will keep its juice for long and will work for a long time before it starts to die.
- the battery has a button with lights that shows the battery level when pressed once.
Cons
- this thing is heavy
- its pricy compared to something very similar in power like the Black & Decker hand held vaccum
- Although its not a deal breaker for me, it doesn't have a Hepa filter.
- I dont like the fact that i have to ditach the battery to charge it.
- its a noisy as its powerful, more work on sound proofing could've been a huge advantage.
- with a hefty price for a hand held, you expect it would be made somewhere else but its made in China.
all in all, this is a sturdy hand held vacuum that will last long or until the battery dies, and I would recommend it if you have the extra money to spare on a it.

So close to being perfect
on June 6, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
the Sonic- Fusion from waterpik is a great combo for people who like the concept of water flossing but they want to save space at the same time.
This brush is a strong electric brush that is chargeable and also can be used to floss if attached to the main unit that houses water enough for 60 seconds of flossing.
It has the ability of brushing and flossing at the same time, but this feature makes no sense since the water will be filling your mouth and you can't really brush in that case because you will make a mess of yourself.
the best way to use it is to brush and spit, then to floss with the pressure that is to your liking (it can be set from gentle to hard).
after I brush i use the flosser and whenever my mouth filled with water I spit it and continue flossing.
the brush comes with a travel case that fits the brush and 2 brush heads. you can not use the floss feature if the brush is not attached to the base via the water pipe.
a couple things i didn't like are the fact that the brush isn't firmly set in place on the base and you need to be careful when placing it there, and the second thing is that the flossing pipe felt a little short for me (am 6.2 and the basin height is normal, but I had to lean just a bit to use the flosser).
another thing really bugged me is that at a price of $150 you would expect at least a couple brushing heads for you and another person, or a spare head. but no, it came with only one forcing me to buy another one if I wanted to get rid of other brushes regular or electric for my spouse.
other than that, the Sonic- Fusion is a nice looking machine that doesnt take a bunch of space and does a great job at both brushing and flossing your teeth.

Not so good!
on June 6, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
The JVC - HA S35BT Wireless On-Ear Headphones are not impressive at all. for this price range you can get something with better sound quality and more comfortable:
Pros:
- You can use Google assistant, and Alexa, and Siri with your JVC headphones.
- you can answer phone calls.
- sound volume is OK, not great but OK.
- not expensive, but you can definitly get better quality for $49.99
- Battery life is good
- control buttons are placed well to use without taking the headphone off of your head.
Cons:
- the headphone head rest is not comfortable at all, its not padded and after a while you will feel pain where the headphone rests on your head.
- Pairing with your phone is easy.
- They use micro USB port for charging, it should have a USB C instead, also, the charging port doesn't have a rubber cover to protect it from stuff going inside of it.
- the bass quality is not good at all when you hit the Power/ Bass button to boost the bass.
- it didn't come with a protective case.
- it doesn't fold for easy and compact storage.
- its not flimsy but again not flexible enough to avoid braking if thrown in a back pack.
- doesn't have headphone jack if you needed to use them without the wireless function.
- These headphones will be UNCOMFORTABLE if you have a slightly big head.
Finally, I would only use those if I don't have any other option. I will not use them at the gym or while running or working out outside as they are not sweat, or water proof.

Ultra HD Blu- Ray DVD player
on May 11, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
This player almost has it all!
- build quality is amazing and this thing is heavy!
- it has Dolby Atmos, HDR10, upscaling image quality to 4K
- it has anti vibration technology to offer crisper sound, even when the disc is in ther is almost no spinning sound, or fan sound. this thing is sound proof!
- the response rate of this player is very very good, almost no delay at all when loading a disc.
- you can play from a USB, or a disc, or from a very few streaming services (that's why the 4 stars rating).
- it has wifi capability that connected with no issues, and streaming via wifi is decent but you can always go with Ethernet and never miss a thing.
- it comes with 2 gift discs (Jumanji & spiderman into the spoider verse. the discs also have digital codes for the movies to be saved in your library if you want to.
- the player has Bluetooth built in and can be used with BT headphones or to connect to a sound bar.
- if you have an HDR 10, and Dolby Atmos 4K TV like I do, you will need to buy an HDMI2 cable to get the most out of your devices.
- this player can play 3D movies.
all in all this is a very nice peice of technology, and it could last years, I just wished Sony was more open minded about allowing other streaming services on the device.

Perfect little combo
on April 29, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
The Canon - IVY Cliq+ Instant Film Camera is a pocket sized camera and instant printer that uses Zink printing technology (no ink needed).
Setup was very easy and fast: you download the app on your mobile device and you could have access to photos from all your social media in addition to the gallery of the mobile phone.
Battery life could be better, but I was able to take a few photos and to print 10 pictures before he battery died. charging takes about 30 minutes if you are using a fast charger.
the charging port is Micro USB (i wonder why they didn't use i USB- C port).
picture quality is good, and the camera has flash, and a mirror surrounding the lens for taking selfies.
the camera looks sturdy, and the grip is good.
it comes with 10 3X2 zink paper, a loop to hold the camera and a micro USB to USB charging cable.
price is good and it could be used instead of a photo booth in a party or an event. it can also be a great way for kids to have fun in a birthday party.
Zink paper comes with an adhesive back so you can stick them and decorate different things.
the app lets you add effects and frames and edit pictures in an instagram like way before printing.
I am extremely satisfied with this camera- printer combo.

Mobile little helper
on April 26, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
The Bissell Pro Handheld cleaner is a great option for hard to get carpet stains that regular size Bissell cleaners cant get to. With 7 different tip attachments it can reach any place, any corner, and you can use it on your car as well (Yay!!)
- Setup is very easy and well explained and takes less than a minute.
- It has 2 water containers, one for clean hot water, and one for the dirty water.
- it comes with a tester Bissell formula, and you can buy any Bissell carpet cleaning formula and use it with it.
- The hose is very sturdy, yet flexible and I am sure it will last long.
- Holding the machine is easy and well designed with its compact size that wont let it be in the way.
- Power cord is 15 feet and its long enough to reach hard to reach spots, or again (use it in your CAR)
- I used it for a few stains that were caused on our light colored carpet by our cats (yes, they eat like little monsters and vomit a lot).
some of the stains were a bit old since we cant whip the regular size bissell carpet cleaner every week and it did clean them all!
- it even sucked so much invisible cat hair which made me go ahead and use the regular size one for a deep clean for the rest of the carpets.
- cleaning it is easy, empty the left over clean water from the clean water tank, then empty the dirty water tank and rinse it. Dry everything up and store back in the box.
the hose comes with a self cleaning mechanism which i found very helpful.
I truly recommend this little monster for anyone who has hard to reach areas, or a small apartment, or even for your car or furniture.

Decent Speed for back up storage

I have a Server that has multiple back up options, and I wanted to setup a monthly back up for a specific folder that has about 1.3 TB of data.
it does the job perfectly in a relatively short amount of time.
I totally recommend this 2TB QVO SSD for back up options and less than a daily use.

One word "PERFECT"
on March 15, 2019
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
The Galaxy Watch Active is everything I needed for my gym and activity.
I can use it at the gym with complete confidence that it will be accurate in regards to heart rate, tracking activity, and its not big and wont get in the way. I can also wear it during a basketball game without worrying about it hurting anyone because its so soft.
the minimalist design is PERFECT, and the stress release technique is great.
I cant feel that am wearing a watch, it has activity tracking for every single activity there is including swimming in a pool or outside.
great access to Calendar, Spotify, and location services is also easy to navigate and use.
its not a deal breaker for me if it doesn't have a speaker to make calls using it, I don't make a lot of calls anyway, but the fact that you can dictate texts like you do with yur phone using the michrophone is also a great feature.
the watch strap is soft & comfortable and washable as well.
the watch face and screen can be scratched easily but I will not be using a screen protector because it will make it look bad as there are no notches that can hide the edges of the screen protector.
the price point is a tad high but am sure it will go down with time.
this activity watch is way more attractive than any other activity trackers and can be worn by both males & females.
it comes in a minimalist well thought box with a wireless charger and a quick star guide and a manual.
