the supreme is bulky, needs power, and not at all better than the $10 antenna that is 2 times smaller and gets the exact same of purity & number of channels.

50 shades of white

from Fairfax, VA, USA
I have previously bought a Phillips Hue starter kit that has the Hue bridge and 2 of the A19 white LED lamps, I also bought anther 2 white A19 thinking that its the same as white ambience. I loved the functions of the bridge especially that I was able to link it easily to both Google assistant, and an Alexa enabled device and I was able to setup schedules and control them (no one at my home cares to turn the lights off when they leave a room).
but the regular Hue A19 was just a yellow LED light, so I bought the A19 Ambience because i prefer the blueish- white to the yellow one.
the Ambience has many pre-set scenes for white color degree or warmness, and you can also create your own white warmness degree.
I now have 3 rooms in my house completely powered by Hue, and I plan on adding more and switching the whole house to Hue.

Elegant powerhouse!

the Pixelbook is amazing in so many ways!
Pros:
- very attractive design
- very light weight
- very sturdy when switching between modes (laptop, kiosk, tablet)
- the keyboard is very comfortable and user friendly.
- the touch pad has a very nice feeling to it, and the palm rests are like memory foam and feel nice on the wrist.
- one very important advantage is how fast Chrome browser is on the pixelbook compared to Chrome browser on windows laptop with similar specs.
- unlike many reviews here, the sound volume and quality are more than enough for the size of this thing.

EU Megablast is a very unique BT speaker with Alexa assistant.
This device is WELL BUILT, heavy, and rugged.
Pros:
very clear sound
huge battery power
very good range for wifi and BT connectivity (perfect for backyard and garage work)
water proof, pool proof, shock proof.
Alexa assistant (need I say more?)
Cons
- as of now it supports only a limited music apps (no Spotify)
- connecting to smart home devices is not so easy (had hard time connecting the megablast with my Phillips Hue home kits)
- Bass on this device could be better for this price
- the base that lets you dock the device while at home is an option at $40 and it comes in white color only.

Interactive toy with an Alarm clock!

this review is for Sphero Spider-Man toy
This Sphero toy is very nice looking especially with the spiderman logo illuminating on it and the interactive LCD like eyes doing eye movements while the toy is talking to you or telling you a story or a joke.

Here is a list of the cons and pros:
Pros:
- there is a good amount of content built in the app and the toy, it will take your kid months to get to know and play all of them.
- the toy looks really good, and it stands out.
- there are a few modes in which you can use the toy with, like teaming up to practice skills (requires movement with the toy), or asking for a joke or chatting or even asking the toy to tell you a story, or even fight villains.
- a really impressive feature is the guard mode, when activated it would alert you if a movement happened around it.
- I like the alarm clock, as simple as it is, its still a useful feature.

Cons:
- the speaker is positioned under the spiderman logo and its only protected by the rubber which makes the spiderman suit, it is very fragile, and if a kid held the toy the wrong way or squeezed it due to excitement while holding it the speaker might actually break.
- this toy requires a somewhat a tech savvy user (parent or an adult to install the app, connect the toy to wifi, install the updates the first time). It also requires a seperate devise like a smart phone or a tablet to access the full features of the toy, which I find disappointing.
- there is serious security issues as this toy can respond to your words (IE its listening to everything is said around it).

very easy to set it up, you go to the website and enter the code supplied with the cube, and you can then download a bunch of games to transform this foam cube into a 3D hologram to play games and the cool thing about the cube is that you can see the holograms either using the Merge glasses or on your cell phone. my kid who is 9 years old spent hours messing with it yesterday and he downloaded a bunch of games (some of them are not free) and he couldn't be happier.

Far from stable, not reliable at all!
on July 26, 2017
Posted by: AKK1
The Logi circle 2 is a very attractive indoor/ outdoor security IP camera that is very simple to be setup (in theory).
Pros:
- very attractive design, well made.
- 100% wireless, can connect to wifi easily, has a battery that should last a few hours and can be charged using the 2amp micro usb charger and cable provided, or any other Micro usb charger.
- free cloud storage for up to 24 hours, paid subscription for added storage also available.
Cons:
- lets start with setup, after connecting the camera to the network via the app, it tried to get the updates a couple of time and gave me the error loading updates, please reset your camera. this was a bit annoying but easily fixable.
- the Logi circle 2 is not reliable, i kept it on the charging station to test it for a few hours during the day and it kept disconnecting and showing as offline, and it was not a home wifi issue because I do have other connecting wifi devices at home that were working and were able to receive instructions from me while the logi claimed that its offline.
- even when it is online, it did skip 4 movement events during 4 hours. and they were events that are long, like my wife came back from work and opened the front door with Logi not noticing or recording at all, or even when my son came back home as well.
but it was sending me notifications of events (when my cats were playing close to that same door). I tried adjusting the motion sensor with no results.

the image quality in general is good, the 2 way microphone and speaker is also very nice and it works when the camera is not offline.
also on paper the Logi 2 supports Alexa (not Siri, or Google home).

finally, I assume that Logitech will eventually fix the software bugs, and the logi 2 might actually be useful by then. but right now, it falls short behind last year models from better name brands and cheaper prices.

Our cats finally met their match!

iRobot - Roomba 690 App-Controlled Robot Vacuum
I live in a carpeted 900 square feet apartment with my wife, 8 years old son, and 2 cats.
We have a shark for normal vacuuming and a Bissell wet vacuum which we use once a week and once a month respectively to keep the house clean and avoid allergies, and funny smells when we have guests coming. Which is OK if the both of us didn’t have full time jobs and so many sport practices and activities to take our son to. So here comes the Roomba and what is saved us in time and agony (and some time fights on who’s turn to vacuum is it today!).

So here comes the Roomba and what is saved us in time and agony (and some time fights on who’s turn to vacuum is it today!).
This little devil did way more than what was expected of it in terms of accuracy, cleaning, and cat hair removal. And we will be using it every day to keep the carpets clean, and our cats somewhat freaked out (No cats were harmed in this review).
I will start with the cons because the only con I found is the price, but this is very normal considering the technology and if you want to be lazy, you have to pay up!
The pros are:
Very easy to get it to start, just pull out the battery isolator, plug the dock in electricity, place the Roomba on the doc, let it charge for a couple of ours, and while doing so, you can connect your new Roomba to your home network by downloading the app from the google or App store depending on the maker of your phone.
Connecting to your home network is very easy, it took less than a minute, and that's including linking it to my Google home (it can be linked to google home, Alexa, google assistant on phones that support it. I can’t attest to Iphones since we do not own any).

After a while on the charger, I had many options to start the Roomba, I could do it by pressing the clean button on the machine, or by using the provided Roomba app, or by telling my android phone with Google assistant: Ok Google..please ask Roomba to start cleaning (which I did).
Roomba moved out of its dock, started a not so high vacuuming noise and found its way around my apartment, and boy it did clean (check the pictures, this was collected in 15 minutes only from a carpet that was vacuumed 3 days ago!).
Roomba moved easily between my many pieces of furniture and never got stuck once, more over, it ran over a charging cable without eating it or shredding it to pieces. And its height of less than 4 inches gave it an advantage over my shark by going under furniture without the need to lift anything.
Roomba left little track marks on the carpet unlike my Shark (some will say marks mean more cleaning power), but I liked that, because the pattern of Roomba is random.
Roomba also comes with a little virtual barrier that you can turn on to create a virtual wall that Roomba can’t cross or set it up to make a halo to protect a small area of about 4 feet from being approached by Roomba (useful in case of pet food, drinking water).

I asked Roomba to end cleaning using Google assistant so it stopped and asked me if I wanted it to go back to its charging base which I agreed to, and it's magic! Roomba went back to its dock and started charging again.
I am super satisfied by this Roomba, and I can say it's a perfect addition to any small apartment with pets in it. The app can schedule Roomba to run different programs 7 days a week.

Great air frier for small apartments

Great air frier for small apartments
Before I review this frier I need to clarify that I live in a small apartment that has a tiny kitchen open to the living room, and it was always impossible to deep fry anything. When we wanted to have french fries we used to oven cook frozen potatoes in the oven and they always came out either under cooked or dry and burnt.
I also have a very bad experience with different types of cheaper air friers which never did the job right.
I also have a very bad experience with different types of cheaper air friers which never did the job right.
Here is my experience with the De’Longhi MultiFry FH1363:
Packaging was very good, Instructions were super easy, and cleaning is even easier.
I followed the instructions and cleaned the 2 detachable parts (part of the cover and the frying pan itself) with water and normal dishwashing solution, I dried them using a dry paper towel and attached them back.
I followed the instructions and cleaned the 2 detachable parts (part of the cover and the frying pan itself) with water and normal dishwashing solution, I dried them using a dry paper towel and attached them back.
The instruction manual was very clear, the package also included a very fancy and easy to follow recipe book for 25 different recipes with less than a 100 words for how to create a good recipe accompanied with pictures (this book is very good for creating easy and delicious recipes even for the laziest of people).
The frier have a bottom and an upper heater for better cooking and instructions for all recipes are clear on when to use one or both and for how long.
The frier also have a battery powered detachable timer that can be used to remind you to check on or turn off the frier (the timer will not turn the frier off when the time is passed).
So i tried to fry a bag of frozen potatoes, and as it turns out, frozen potatoes do not even need a spoon of oil. I dumped the bag in the frier with the paddle installed, turned both the upper and lower heaters on and set the timer for 25 minutes as instructed by the manual and the cook book.
The paddle started rotating 4 minutes after the machine was turned on and in 15 minutes i was able to see that the fries are turning golden, I opened the frier lid while it was on (you can do that) and added some salt, and closed the lid again. After 25 minutes, the timer started ringing so I turned off the frier, pulled the pan lever up and opened the lid and the fries were golden and crunchy and delicious with the least amount of effort.
I waited until the frier cooled a bit and detached the lid and the pan and cleaned them with water and soap put them back in place and unplugged the frier.
This was a very pleasant effortless experience.
Final notes:
The frier did not made any noises and there was almost no frying smell at all beside the delicious smell of fresh fried potatoes.
Although most of the body is made of plastic, but the machine seems very sturdy and I hope it will last as long as I hoped. (The machine is made in China).

The only flow I can think of is the price, although this is a great addition to our kitchen from a very trusted name but it shouldn’t be more than $150 to get all 5 stars from me.
I totally recommend the frier to anyone with a small kitchen and no way to fry indoors.

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).

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).
