Simple and quick cooker/air fryer
on August 11, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The unit size is approximately (edges not perfectly linear to the base): width 14 inches, Length 14.5 inches, Height 13.5 inches. The power cord is about 3 feet long and has a three-prong plug. The main pot goes in any direction and has the graduation/measurement stamped into it. Depending on the cooking function, the grid tray stays halfway or at the bottom of the pot.
The functions buttons/dials are straightforward to use. The top has the Air Fry/Stovetop or Rapid cooker setting. After this, the function for the type of cooking is preset with temperature and timing for various cooking methods. My favorite function is the slow cooker to make lamb barbacoa (shredded beef).
The Speedi Meal Builder on the website (not an app) provided on the box offers thousands of recipes that can be used with the Ninja Speedi machine. The Builder starts with picking the base (e.g., frozen riced cauliflower, white rice, quinoa, etc.), picking a protein (e.g., hamburger patties, skinless chicken breast, etc.), picking your seasoning (e.g., BBQ, Taco, Fajita, jerk, etc.), pick your vegetables (e.g., green beans, bell peppers, broccoli, canned garbanzo beans, etc.), pick your toppings (e.g., salsa, fresh greens, guacamole, etc.), and then click generate my meal/recipe. The Builder will inform you of the ingredients and quantity needed, the instructions with tips, and you can print or share the recipe. I like cooking, and I love the Speedi Meal Builder for this Ninja cooker. Now cooking is so simple, quick, and delicious.

Great drone for beginners
on August 10, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Assembly of the SP680 took me about 15 minutes. I attached the two-leg landing gear and the four prop guards. I used the provided small Phillipsscrew driver and screws and tightened the landing gear and prop guards. The kit includes a phone clip to put on the controller, which I will not use since I will only use the app to operate the drone. You can take a screenshot of your screen while using the app control, but if you use a MicroSD card and the photo button on the control, you will get a better image quality. The total weight of the drone (with a battery) is 153 grams (5.4 oz). The device works with the provided remote or the Snaptain Nova app. I only use the app since I don’t like wasting AA batteries when not necessary. The remote requires 4x1.5V AA batteries. Connecting a drone to the app is as simple as clicking a device to wifi.
You first turn on the drone, turn on the wifi on your device, locate the drone wifi (note that the drone has its wifi signal) something named like “Snaptain-Sp680-...”, open the Snaptain Nova app, select aircraft (model #), and press start button to connect to your drone. When all the lights are flashing on the drone, it requires calibration or is low in battery. For calibration, move both control sticks simultaneously to the lower right 45-degree angle and hold for about 2-3 seconds. A great feature for beginners is the Take-off ad landing button; the drone lands/takes off with one click. After a week of using this drone, I feel confident about doing many different maneuvers and flying it through obstacles. The 2.7K UHD camera does an excellent job with image quality. Overall, this is a great drone; it has excellent image quality, is easy to control, and is fun to use.

![Norton - 360 Deluxe (3 Device) with LifeLock Identity Advisor (1 Adult) Internet Security Software + VPN (1 Year subscription) - Android, Apple iOS, Mac OS, Windows [Digital]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6508/6508583_sd.jpg)
Norton 360 Deluxe provides real-time protection for up to 3 PCs, Mac, smartphones or tablets against ransomware, viruses, spyware, malware and other online threats. Help protect your private and financial information when you post, bank, and shop online. LifeLock Identity Advisor offers US-based Identity Restoration Specialists to help you each step of the way, should you discover you’re a victim of identity theft.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
There are many software products and services in the market for consumer to protect their identity and assets from cyber threats and identity theft. Which plan will provide the protection you need, and which is worth purchasing? With so many options and different services/plans, it makes it hard to choose but nowadays, it is not wise not to be protected. Most people don’t drive around without a seatbelt mainly because they don’t want a ticket, and it is proven that seatbelts save lives. Similarly, nowadays, not having the proper protection will cost you time, theft, and frustration. Like Benjamin Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Norton 360 Delux with LifeLock Identity Advisor is an excellent product for most consumers that want more than adequate protection.
So far, it does a great job of malware protection and system performance; I haven’t got any issues yet. The software provides real-time protection that helps safeguard your device against any old or new malware threats on the internet. It includes a two-way firewall, password manager, and parental control (it’s optional to activate). Another great and valuable feature provided is the secured VPN, “Virtual Private Network,” which helps you browse the internet wholly secured. This will make you be on the internet completely anonymous. VPN encrypts your activity when you are connected to the internet, so there is little to no chance of criminals interception and getting your data.
I don’t use the Parental Control feature since I don’t have small kids. Now, password management is a feature that I use a lot and which I find remarkably very useful to simplify my life. I feel confident in safely and securely creating, storing, and managing my passwords in this software. It is good to have a cloud backup, which is included in this product, to store essential documents and files just in case. This is a better and safer alternative storage, especially when your hard drive can malfunction, get corrupted, or even be stolen.
The LifeLock Identity Alert does work very well when used correctly, meaning using all its features. For example, Norton detected that my email in an old account (couponmom) was on the dark web. It notified me of what it found and recommended what steps I could take to protect myself.
Due to the relentless quest from cyber criminals to get people’s sensitive data, it is worth the investment to get adequate cyber and identity protection. For this, it is wise to get Norton, which provides a comprehensive antivirus suite. To conclude, I highly recommend this or any other Norton products.

Excellent ANC experience
on August 5, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The Barracuda Pro looks very simplified with premium features, and it's a hybrid, great for gaming, gaming on the go, and daily regular lifestyle use. It is decent size earcups and extremely lightweight for its size. The cups feel supported on my ear and the headband on my head. The cup cushion is deep enough with a thick lining and still feels extremely comfortable. I wear glasses all the time, and it works very well. The clamping is very light but still holds the cups in position. All the controls on the cups are standard, the volume, mic mute, and power buttons. Props to Razer for making these new headphones chargeable with USB-C. The wireless range on the Barracuda is impressive, best in range without destroying the signal quality. I can be in another house room with several walls and get absolutely no dropouts or interference. By themselves, the ear cups do a great job isolating the ambient noise, and the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), it adds a better noise cancelation. It mutes the background noise. ANC also works with nagging spouses. I can listen to my audio, games, or music without interruption and need to raise the volume to full blast. This is great because I need to listen to every audio cue while gaming, not the environment. Note that this ANC technology is also great for slightly muting the world, especially people who are annoying. This headphone came with its carry pouch, which greatly protects your investment.

The Aspire XC is the perfect PC to tackle any task. From basic computing to multimedia entertainment, it’s a robust hub for your every computing need. Driven by an Intel Celeron J4125 processor and 8GB of memory, this sophisticated black chassis design delivers plenty of speed, power and storage so you can play, create, do and enjoy more—all day, every day! Easily expandable and with remarkable performance, the Aspire XC Series desktop is the perfect partner when it comes to demanding tasks like video editing and compiling photo albums. And it offers front-panel media access so you can easily connect to your digital devices!

This Acer Aspire desktop is great for basic users who want an upgrade. Available ports: 1x VGA connection, 1x HDMI, 4x USB ports, Ethernet port, and 2x USB ports in the front. There are 3.5mm jacks for audio/mic in the back and front of the desktop. Not frequently used, but good to have is a DVD drive. In this slim line desktop, there is an option to add a secondary hard drive. Very surprised that this Celeron processor takes very little time from cold boot to a fully running Windows. For the most basic users, 8Gb is more than enough. Also, 256GB of storage is more than enough, but if you have a massive amount of photos and videos, you might want to have an external hard drive or store files in the cloud. This desktop is great and inexpensive for the average user who wants to open documents, see social media, check online news, read email, and use office software. Overall, this pc opens files and photos relatively quickly, in a couple of seconds. This computer works for basic non-high-end graphic super powerful games. This pc is also great for grade school students, especially virtual studying.

Introducing the new Alienware m17 R5 - Alienware’s powerful 17-inch AMD-based laptop. Game, create, and stream content with powerful AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors and up to 64GB Dual Channel DDR5 4800MHz memory. Play with a cutting edge with exceptional power enabled by updated Alienware Cryo-tech cooling that dissipates heat to maintain system stability during the highest performance states.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This new Ryzen 17.3-inch gaming laptop comes with a power cable and a large black metal casing with 240 watts power break, all with minimal waste boxing/wraps. The top looks like a gunmetal or carbon graphite color texture, the embossed 17 and the LED Alienware head. The casing looks solid, even when opening and closing the laptop. The back vents are shaped into a nice-looking Tron-ring honeycomb. Also, another Tron-ring honeycomb vent for air intake cooling is located on the top of the keyboard. Ports available: 3x USB-A and 1x USB-C (thunderbolt 3) ports, an aux jack, an ethernet port, an HDMI, and a power port. The armrest is large enough. The keyboard is an RGB Alienware type, with a backlit keyboard. The touchpad is a decent size and very responsive. The LED Alein head power button lights up either amber or blue to indicate the battery status: amber (running on battery), blue (fully charged battery), and it flashes amber/blue when charging. The screen is nice, vibrant, and very responsive. The usual webcam and microphone are on top of the screen; it is small and doesn’t take a lot of space. The fast processor, the TGP, and the advanced Optimus run all of my games incredibly smoothly. Games such as with the highest graphics ran with roughly 140 fps. A shortcut for games on this laptop is the F1 button; this enables the performance mode to open the command center. Overall, I am satisfied with this gaming laptop.

Excellent Hybrid Smart TV & Monitor
on July 31, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This is a great all-in-one hybrid monitor, the smart monitor with the combination of work/play in full HD and a 4K cinematic for watching movies. The stand is quite heavy and super easy to assemble; attach the stand to the base plate and the monitor (all you need is a standard Phillips screwdriver). To my surprise, there is no power adapter box, just a 5 feet long power cord that connects from the monitor to any power source. After going through the monitor's setup, it connected to the internet, and I signed into my Samsung account. A monitor that delivers a smart TV experience when taking a break from work, school, or playing games. This is an excellent device for working from a home environment. USB, USB-C (which supports up to 65 watts of charging power), and two HDMI. The built-in stereo speakers are adaptive to deliver a more enjoyable and refined sound experience, which adjusts the sound in different situations, from speech, music, and ambient sound. You can connect external speakers via BlueTooth or a Wi-Fi-enabled device, but note that there is no 3.5 mm audio jack (Aux). The included remote control is sleek, basic in design, easy to use, and recharges with a USB-C connection. It is very responsive and provides voice activation. One cool feature about the monitor is that when I turn on my computer, the monitor detects the computer, and it turns itself on.
You can connect a computer via HDMI or USB-C (included), which is straightforward. The HDMI is standard so that you can plug any gaming console. The picture quality is excellent, the display delivers an Ultra HD resolution with many colors, and the picture delivers enough pixels. You can always tweak the picture setting to make things fit your needs. This is a Samsung smart tv, so you get a ton of apps, just to name a few: Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, HBO max, AppleTV, and so much more. Mobile device mirror into the monitor by simply taping your phone on the left side of the monitor. So, while watching a movie, you can mirror what is on your phone. The display quality is 4K, which is bright, pleasant, and enjoyable. As a monitor, 32 inches is excellent for those who want more screen coverage for their programs. I use it a lot to place two window screens side by side. This monitor is great for work at home office, study room, or a small room. I like it a lot because I can take a short break, watch movies, play games, or use the monitor independently without the computer. To conclude, this smart tv/monitor is loaded with many features and options.

Spread powerful sound anywhere you go and anywhere you are with the XE300 Wireless Speaker. With IP67 Waterproof, dustproof and shockproof design, this speaker is designed to thrive in any environment. With all day battery life and an impressive line shape diffuser this speaker ensures everyone at the party hears uncompromised sound quality throughout the room.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Sony’s SRS series portable speakers are designed to have powerful sound anywhere you go. They produce a full-range sound and line-shape diffuser for the best wider listening area by spreading the sound further and wider to the sides. Contrary to similar speakers, which transmit the sound mostly when you are in front of the speaker. The sound gets correctly balanced, which produces a high-quality sound without distortion. The bass is acceptable. It is designed to make this truly portable to take anywhere (beach, pool, park, etc.) since it is water, sand, and shock proof. I get many listening hours at medium volume on a single full charge. Not sure how long it will last at total blast volume. It gets fully charged very quickly and comes with its own USB-C type charging cable. Note that it doesn’t come with a wall charger. I feel this is not an issue for most people since you can use a wall charger from your other devices (e.g., mobile phone). Using a standard wall charger for many devices is excellent for reducing production costs and, simultaneously, helping the environment—props to Sony designers for being environmentally responsible. With the Sony SRS series speakers, you can optimize your sound experience with the control Party Connect feature via the Sony Music Center app. If the speakers are of the same models, you can have one speaker play sound on the right side while another plays on the left side. The Music Center app has features to change the setting and play with your music. Overall, this is a good speaker; if you get more than one, you can experience the best sound through party connect.

The Dyson Outsize+ is Dyson's largest intelligent cordless vacuum with laser illumination. It is engineered with the suction power, additional run time, larger format, and tools designed to deep clean your whole home. A laser on the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head reveals invisible dust on hard floors. In auto mode, the machine optimizes power and run time based on floor type. Dyson's de-tangling Digital Motorbar XL cleaner head deep cleans carpets and hard floors. The 25% wider cleaner head, 150% larger bin, and twice the run time compared to the Dyson V15 Detect covers more floor with each pass and allows for more cleaning between bin emptying and charges. Its versatile cordless format transforms into a handled vacuum with one click so you can clean up high, down low, and everywhere in-between. Comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime Dyson support.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This Dyson Outsize vac it's like a regular cordless stick vacuum, but it's bigger with more features. Because of its large size, it is now suitable for any home, even a large one. This Outsize is not a standard stick vac; it is a full-size vacuum. The Outsize comes with one docking station with an attachable charger and one additional charger for the extra battery. The extra easy swappable battery allows this vac to work for larger homes. The dust bin container is larger, and with that capacity, you would only need to empty the vac once after each use. For most people, vacuuming is one of the most dreaded home cleaning tasks. Now I am emptying less; in turn, I am wasting less time vacuuming. Each battery has approximately 60 minutes of runtime; time depends on the mode setting and size/quantity of particles. Changing the batteries is very flexible; it can be charged when placing the vac in the docking station, it can be charged directly on the vac (not in the station), or charged the batteries on their own.
Accessories/tools included: (1) a motorized mini head is excellent for stairs or cleaning upholstery (fantastic to get rid of pet hair), (2) an angled crevice tool, (3) crevice tool, (4) an adjustable flexible brush, which is very soft and won't be scratching anything, and (5)it includes a storage clip that attaches to the wand to store two accessories.
The main roller head is a bit larger than most stick vacs, so it is a great design to cover larger room space, making cleaning more efficient. This larger head results in doing a lot less work because it covers more floor space. The performance is great on both hard floors as well as carpets. What I like about the large head-deep clean is that it works on both hard floor and carpet, and the best part is that I haven't seen a bunch of hair getting tangled in the roller. The laser detection reveals microscopic dust; in a sense, it makes it hard to see dust visible on hard floors. The slim head's unique laser features beams a floor-facing green light to illuminate fine particulates, so you don't miss anything. The laser detects/reveal is not designed for carpet, and there is an option to turn off the laser.
The LCD control panel shows the current performance, cleaning mode, and run time. It will also show you maintenance reminders or troubleshooting, such as filter not placed correctly or filter blockage.
The HEPA level filtration is quality made and the best design. It does a great job, and I haven't detected any air leaking out of the unit; all of it comes out of the HEPA filter. Very easy to clean and maintain; rinse with just tap water and let it dry for a day or so. In conclusion, the vacuum system works well and is very easy to use.

Amazing for health, wellness and body recovery
on July 20, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I am a multi-sport athlete, working out and training 5 to 6 days a week, and I put a lot of physical stress on my body. For me, I need to have a quick recovery so I can continue with my daily tasks. This compression boot system does an excellent job of rapid recovery, maximizing performance, improving training, and overall wellness. When someone exercise, their body builds up lactic acid and other metabolites as byproducts; also, there are microscopic tissue damage and fatigue. All of these happening in the body results in muscle soreness and pain. After a hard training or workout, I sometimes experience difficulty walking (legs feel heavy) and sometimes even sitting down. Compression boots work by helping the body squeeze the lactic acid, inflammation, and all metabolites out of your legs and back into the heart; afterward, they get metabolized and eliminated.
Using the system is easy (plug & play), charge the device, download the app, insert the leg into the leg compressor, and attach the connector to the junction box and air outlet. You can use only one leg attachment compressor if you desire, but note that there is the extra step requiring the use of a blocking plug on the hose not being used. One can operate the system with just the control unit, which allows for attachment type selection (arm, hip, or leg), pressure level, ZoneBoost, time adjustment, display screen, and start/stop button. With the app, you get the best experience, with preset routine settings or self-customizable.
Available routines/settings: post-workout recovery, post-run recovery, improve your sleep, freshen your legs, activate your legs, long day unwind, pre-run warm up, pre workout warm up. There is also a similar arms routine, but you would need the arm attachment sold separately, which I will get. There are five zones on the leg boot: (1) foot, (2) calf, (3) knee, (4) lower quad, and (5) upper quad. The routine preset setting or manual control allows for Zone Boost, which concentrates or gives extra (time or pressure) to one or more zones.
How the system compresses the leg varies by routine. The first pump fills up all the zones in a sequence, and then it releases the air; I think the system feels the legs to know the required pressure. The compression starts from the feet and gradually moves up to the upper thighs. Depending on the selected routine, the compression sequence will vary. Also, the compression creates a pulsation movement from the feet to the upper thighs and repeats this a couple of times. What this compression does is pushes more of the fluids in the extremities up to the upper body, so it gets flushed out.
It feels AMAZING! Not exaggerating; my legs feel rejuvenated. Fantastic product to fight muscle soreness and get back in the game; now do more of what you love.
Portable, depending on the duration and routine, the battery can give you two or more sessions. The boots are incredibly high-tech material, rugged, and well built. To conclude, the Normatec compression boots make a quick, easy-to-use, portable, and enjoyable muscle recovery.
Using the system is easy (plug & play), charge the device, download the app, insert the leg into the leg compressor, and attach the connector to the junction box and air outlet. You can use only one leg attachment compressor if you desire, but note that there is the extra step requiring the use of a blocking plug on the hose not being used. One can operate the system with just the control unit, which allows for attachment type selection (arm, hip, or leg), pressure level, ZoneBoost, time adjustment, display screen, and start/stop button. With the app, you get the best experience, with preset routine settings or self-customizable.
Available routines/settings: post-workout recovery, post-run recovery, improve your sleep, freshen your legs, activate your legs, long day unwind, pre-run warm up, pre workout warm up. There is also a similar arms routine, but you would need the arm attachment sold separately, which I will get. There are five zones on the leg boot: (1) foot, (2) calf, (3) knee, (4) lower quad, and (5) upper quad. The routine preset setting or manual control allows for Zone Boost, which concentrates or gives extra (time or pressure) to one or more zones.
How the system compresses the leg varies by routine. The first pump fills up all the zones in a sequence, and then it releases the air; I think the system feels the legs to know the required pressure. The compression starts from the feet and gradually moves up to the upper thighs. Depending on the selected routine, the compression sequence will vary. Also, the compression creates a pulsation movement from the feet to the upper thighs and repeats this a couple of times. What this compression does is pushes more of the fluids in the extremities up to the upper body, so it gets flushed out.

Do you just plug it into your xbox or how do you install it
The setup is relatively easy, just connect one end of the USB (included with mic) to the mic and the other to the Xbox. This mic work great on the XBox, it is compatible.

This mic says that you can use it with the xbox, but it is not clear on whether or not it will work to capture my audio when I stream from my xbox one x onto mixer. Will this work to carry audio to mixer for me stream or is it used for party chat only?
The Turtle Beach Stream mic does work great with XBox onto Mixer. I had no issue using this mic on the Xbox One.

If I plug this into my Xbox will the sound still come from my TV or will I need to purchase a headset?
You can attach connect a headphone to the Stream mic. I find it very useful the feature to connect your headphones to the mic which makes it very simple so that your hand does tangle with your headphones. This setup is a lot better than having the headphones connected to the Xbox controller.

What's a broom stick and pop filter? I saw in one of the answer you said a broom stick and pop filter will make this mic better?
The boom stick/arm/stand allows for the mic to be floating on top of your desk and not directly on the desk/table. This will reduce the noise produced from your keyboard or other device being capture by the microphone. The pop filter is to improve the voice quality. The stream mic is great, try it without the other accessories first before buying the other stuff.

I plan on buying this to set it up on a boom arm. Do I need to buy a usb extension cable or is the one provided long enough?
The USB cable is about 10ft long, see submitted images. It is long enough for most setup and it feels like high quality.

Just had this tv delivered yesterday and its $30 cheaper today can I get a credit
Yes. It is in their PriceMatch policy: "If we lower our in-store or online price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request."
Also, since Best Buy store prices aren't always the same as the BestBuy.com (online) prices, it is good to know that they also do price match between those two: " We match BestBuy.com prices on in-store purchases and in-store prices on BestBuy.com purchases." In respect to Price Match, I like Best Buy because they don't give you an issue compared to other stores.
Conclusion, if you within the return period you can get back the difference between what you paid and the cheaper price.
Do it fast and good luck.
