The storage portability of your dreams!
on July 4, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
This portable SSD is great!
first of all its extremely fast as expected, but what really makes it stand out is how small and thin this is. it as light as a feather and can be easily attached to key chain (not gonna do it but you definitely can).
It is IPS55: water and weather proof, it is also shock proof to up to 6.5 feet drop test.
it has USB C connector and has a universal USB adapter if your computer doesn't have a type C on it.
it also comes preloaded with Sandisk encryption software to keep your files safe on it but you can activate it and use it or not.
it can be reformatted and partitioned as you wish to meet your requirements.
this is a truly great storage solution for bloggers, photographers, techies, and anyone who needs to have big data carried on themselves on the go.

Smart Price!
on June 30, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
This is a GREAT first step towards automating your home lights, or office or whatever.
its very affordable ( these 3 led bulbs and the hub are cheaper than 2 decent power saving bulbs).
the App is very straight forward, on, off, dim lights to anywhere between 0 to 100. you can also separate and group lamps in scenes or rooms, with scheduling for on and off.
if you are living with a family like mine who do not seem to care for electricity cost or too lazy to turn off lights when they leave the house or when they go to sleep and want an affordable solution, then this is for you.
I also own Philips Hue hub and 15+ bulbs for different rooms in the house and I can say that Hue is more advanced but they both do the same job (almost) and this one beats Phillips in terms of price.
I installed mine in the bathroom, and will see how long they last in comparison to Hue.
setting it up took less than 5 minutes including the firmware update the Hub asked for. you can also hook them to Google assistant and Amazon Alexa (we have both) its also very easy and somewhat functional.
I am happy with these bulbs and I will be adding more to the hub soon since they are cheaper than Hue.

very responsive with Alexa built in
on June 1, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
This is a very good camera with sleek design, very good night vision mode, and it compatible with Alexa, you could control light switches, smart tv, and basically anything that works with alexa.
has to be plugged in at all time as it doesnt have a battery, and can be hooked to a wal or just sit on a table.

Amazing icture
on May 15, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
I have been using this TV for 5 days now and it did not dissapoint
it is a true 4K smart TV with 4 HDMI inputs that I utilized by hooking a Sling TV box, a PS4, a PS3, and an a sound bar and all gave the best experience you could imagine from such high end TV.
Things I loved:
this new TV image is fantastic with auto HDR content detection and enhancement. it has very deep blacks and vibrant colors and the smart functions are great and very responsive.
the sound is also wonderful and loud enough and you do not really need a sound bar to get a better experience.
the remote control is also very advanced and has google assistant, and the TV itself is comes with Amazon Alexa compatibility which means you can control your TV through any alexa device on the same network.
one thing that really stood out is how well the TV was packaged, and how elegant the TV itself is with the brushed metal look on the base and the back of the TV.
things I didn't like:
- the smart tv function has all the streaming services built in except for HBONow which is something i use almost daily.
- you can turn the tv off using Alexa but you cant turn it back on.

I own many Jlab earbuds and this one is great for workout
took it to the gym, and even used it in the Jacuzzi with my waterproof phone and it functioned great.
setup is very easy using BT and it has a decent battery life.
sound quality is very good as well.

As good as they come!
on March 28, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
This is by far the best BT speaker i have used so far!
pros:
- waterproof (IP67)
- deep bass does not effect the sound quality at all.
- very nice LED lights.
- durable fabric (i dropped it by mistake a couple of times and the fabric held up pretty good)
- BT connectivity is really easy, and you can tether almost endless speakers like it.
- there is a dedicated APP you can use to control the speaker (LED color- party mode- interactive speaker sounds based on where you tap it).
- it is easy to carry around, the rubber grip is very nice.
- battery quality is also impressive
- the speaker is NFC enabled as well which is great!
- the speaker has a live button to make anything you listen to seems like a live concert
- the charging options are wonderful! you can either charge using the dc charger provided or using a micro USB charger.
- it has USB out to charge other devices, and an Audio in for direct connection.
attached is a picture of this speaker beside the Megablast, just to show you how big this thing is!
this is a great speaker that will be my companion in camping, beach trips for long years to come.

Not so Epic
on March 8, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
-These headphones have a very average sound quality which is disappointing compared to the price. very bad quality low's and highs. mid range is just OK.
-the packaging is unnecessarily and overly complicated! but its not a deal breaker.
- the BT connection is easy and consistent.
- call quality is good.
- noise cancellation is fine if you are someone who does a lot of calls for work while running or at the Gym, but there are better options with better sound quality for music.

Great little Box
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
The AirTV is a wonder box with many features in one device!
- the quality of the picture is AMAZING across all streaming services. But i would recommend hooking the box with Ethernet instead of wifi to get the best screen resolution and no lag.
- it has built in Sling service and a dedicated button ( you need a Sling subscription to watch sling channels though)
- built in the price is a $50 Sling credit which can account to 2 and a half month of basic service or 2 month of Blue service)
- after hooking up my HD antenna, i was able to get all the channels I used to get with a better resolution!
- the dedicated buttons (Sling, Netflix, and Google) are very good shortcuts to the content you love, in addition to a favorite button that can be customized to your needs.
- the voice activated remote feature is really good, especially with Google. you won't get Alexa, Siri, or google assistant, but its very decent when you ask it for basic stuff.
- the google store option is really good for content from games to apps, and AirTV is promising a new software update will bring more features.
- The box supprts many streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, Google movies, Youtube TV, etc.
I would recommend this box for anyone who wants to cut the cord and enjoy the streaming services.
- Customer support is phenomenal. I had an issue with redeeming the $50 credit from ling and AirTV solved the issue within hours.
I only took one star because the setup was a bit lengthy, and because it doesn't support DirecTV yet.

Alexa enabled car!
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: AKK1
from Fairfax, VA, USA
I wrote this review after testing the device for a full two days and after comparing it to other alternative, which I will explain in details below:
The things I LOVE:
- this thing is GREAT if you have kids and have long trips, it can keep them busy with riddles and stories - all the power Alexa has to offer in your car.
- it doesn't suck a lot of internet bandwidth. I used it for about 4 hours of navigation and music and news and it used about 40MB. very good for people on limited internet plans.
- this thing is small!
- the dash cam is accurate, nimble, with HD resolution. you can say: Alexa, save this video, and it starts saving your trip, then you have the option to download on your phone or share across social media.
- Garmin navigation is responsive, good, and has the same accuracy and smartness like waze or google maps.
- the Speak app which you need to connect to the device auto detects when you are in the car and connects to it in no time.
- the connection is amazing, Bluetooth was connecting to my car, my smart watch, and to Garmin speak at the same time (this depends also on how good your smart phone is).
Things I DONT like:
- this thing has to be wired at all times, it is Ugly, can be hidden well with some work, but still, I don't understand how when they designed it to be fixed on the left side of the windshield they ended up pacing the charging slot on the right side, and the 2 buttons on the left side.
- Alexa on the Garmin speak plus does NOT support Spotify, or making phone calls through your phone. these are 2 very important features.
- front and side colission assistance is more of a cosmetic featue as it doesn't always work, and sometimes it works when its not supposed to.
- one very huge issue is that I was driving and using Navigation when all of a sudden the device started an update and STOPPED giving directions for a whole 10 minutes. there should be a notification asking if you want to update now or postpone it to a later time when you are not in need of the device.
final words: while I do not really need it in my car for navigation, or music since I have a bluetooth enabled car equipped with navigation, I will be keeping it because of Alexa, and the dash cam.

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).
