Fun, Easy to use, Cleans well, Packed w/ Features
on November 29, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I was looking to try out an electric toothbrush to see the difference from using a regular one and was very impressed. I never really thought about using one but now that I have, I will not be going back to the basic toothbrush anytime soon. The Philips Sonicare toothbrush is very easy to use and comes with a ton of great features to aid in providing a complete teeth cleaning. The packaging was very impressive with everything nicely sectioned and wrapped. It comes with a nice recharge station and portable case that helps with travel. The recharge station is compact and easy to place in small areas to keep out of the way or make for easy packing. The toothbrush itself is easy to clean and the toothbrush head is mid-level brussels. I was hoping they would pack 2 different toothbrush heads, a mid and soft for those who are unsure which level is better for the mouth. The toothbrush base has great indicators for which mode its in and battery level. I enjoy how easy it was to change the brush mode on the toothbrush along with the "easy start" feature it has. The best part about this toothbrush is there's an indicator if you brush too hard to save your gums. The battery life is very good and found after a week long trip I still did not need to charge it. I was also impressed with the instruction manual, it outlined so many of the features which was nice for first timers like myself to understand what all it can do.
Overall this is a powerful toothbrush with a tons of features with a great instruction manual. It is easy to travel with and has good battery life. I would recommend this product who wishes to try out an electric toothbrush!

Responsive, Bright and Extremely Customizable
on November 14, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I was in the market looking for an advance keyboard for gaming along with customizing quick keys for my daily activities. I decided to give this a try and was extremely impressed with the customizability and the brightness of the keys.
The keyboard is nicely packages and can tell the company takes consideration and care. It comes with a nice long cord with a dongle if you wish to use WIFI. Setup was very ease to perform and the software was very easy to install. Note that the software is not needed as plug n play works just fine for the basic usage with lights on the keyboard. Also there are already pre-programed keys you can use to check on the charge level and brightness instead of going through the software.
The software is amazing, extremely customizable for any advance to expert user. It does take into consideration for novice users as it provide an "Chrome Studio" that will perform most of the pre-set features. However if you wish to go to the next level in customization you are able to with the amount of settings and apps this connects with. I especially loved how it will sync with Phillips Hue! There is a ton that can be performed here so recommend taking your time and go through each setting and try it out! The Chroma Workshop is great and provide a great insight of all the abilities it can perform. I was impressed on how much it can sync with many of the triple A games out there.
The hardware itself feels very polished with the keys smooth to the touch. The keys are padded so it not loud nor mechanical sounding when pressing the keys. However there is one issue that may become an issue for some. The "buzzing / humming" sound that emits from the keyboard behind the "WASD" keys. Upon speaking with technical support it was discovered that there is a capacitor on the motherboard located behind those keys that hums when illumination is enabled. If you turn off the illumination there is no buzzing sound however not recommended as half the features are for the illumination settings. The "buzzing / humming" sound is light but is very noticeable. A replacement keyboard was sent to me however the sound was still there. I was informed that the company has switched out that particular capacitor in August so hopefully from that point forward the sound will be gone.
Overall this is an amazing keyboard, full of customizations and feels great to use. If you receive one of these with the buzzing / humming sound I recommend contacting Razor technical support. The support staff have been amazing, very kind and helpful a huge factor when comes to showing support for companies.

Compact, Loud, Limited Air Flow, Great Software
on October 18, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I was looking for a nice compact purifier and humidifier in time for the winter season as the air becomes very dry with the heater. I decided to try this one out since it does both and was impressed with the ease of setup and use. Out of the box, it was very easy to remove the packaged filters and put together however did not like how short the power cord was. I sure wish the power cord was longer to be able to place around the living room better. The bottom reservoir can hold about a gallon of distilled water however unless you plan to use the humidifier quite frequently I recommend only filling it halfway. The air flow of this small device is ok, I wish it ventilated the outgoing air better or make it directional. The knob to control the speed is easy to use however you will need to use the app to specify if you want Air Purifier , Humidifier or both. The app is very nice with tons of great information about the current humidity , weather and air speeds. You can even set it on a timer to ensure you have it on during certain times of the day. I did find that after you go past the fan speed 2 it becomes noisy. I normally run it at fan speed 3 due to not really feeling the air flow through it for my living room. On max fan speed you can really hear it so I only leave it on max for a limited time in the morning to kick off the air/humidity quality.
Overall this is a nice compact 3 in 1, a little loud on higher fan speeds, short power cord, limited air flow but with great software. It does the job but takes longer than some of the competitors to notice the difference. I recommend getting this if its on a sale otherwise not worth the full price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Loud, Clear, Easy to Use and Fits Ear perfectly.
on October 4, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I have been in the market for some reliable earbuds to use for music and voice calls. I decided to try out the Jabra earbuds and was impressed with the quality and distance these earbuds have. The package comes with the earbuds, charging case and a nice wireless charger. It was very easy to setup and the software that comes with it makes it very customizable. The software provide great information of battery life of each earbud along with the charging case. I liked how it had multiple sized ear rubbers to fit those larger ears like mine. The buttons are large enough for big hands like myself to tap to change song tracks or call holds. I was also impressed with how clear my voice came across when speaking especially when there was noise around. The true test was talking on the earbuds with the windows down in the car. It passed very well with the person on the phone being able to hear without issue. At times I find myself walking around with the earbuds on while leaving the phone in my room. With the distance of these I never had an issue going downstairs being connected and heard clearly.
One thing I do like to note is how to wear them properly. It may be just me as I have not worn these styles before but you need to "insert and twist upwards" to ensure the sensor properly detects it being in the ear. Otherwise the earbud shuts itself off after 10 seconds. I found this out while trying them and it was very annoying at first. It was not until I inserted them in this way that they work 100% of the time.

Weighted, High Quality Voice Reception, Flexible
on September 28, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I have been in search of a mic to be able to perform some voice recording on my videos and streams. I decided to try out this mic and was impressed with the quality of the Mic for the price. This Mic was easy to setup out of the box and provided everything needed to quickly start recording. I like how the stand is weighted to allow stability of the mic when placing around the desk. I was impressed with the flexibility of moving the mic and setting the directional voice patterns by a simple nob on the back of the mic. The volume nob and mute button located on the mic are easy to use / find and understand. However the mute light indicator is opposite of what one things when its in "Mute Mode" (Although that could just be myself with using so many different products) I like how it provides four different voice patterns for the mic to pick up to allow for perfect placement to capture wide range of voice. The USB cable is long enough to allow for placement far enough away from the PC. The BlueMic software is very basic and not recommended to use with the MIC. I rather recommend to use another voice software to help modify the pitches better.
Overall the Mic works great , I like the quality of it, the voice clarity and the weighted stand to allow great recordings of my work!

Easy Install, Reliable and fast storage
on September 22, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I have always been impressed at the improvements of storage across the years and love these NVMe models. They are quick and reliable fast storage great of quick easy to use for computers. The one I received came with a heatsink which is a nice touch but honestly not needed. I have been using this one for some time now and notice a vast improvement to everyday activities. I decided to run Windows 10 on here for quickness and was impress at the read/writes speeds.
Install was very easy on most motherboards as it is a small slot located off to the side and out of the way of most cords. The NVMe Gen 4 is compatible with most however recommend checking your motherboard specs to make sure this one will work. It does not ever get hot but it does look pretty cool seeing a nice heatsink on it to match the rest of the look.
Overall I have always been a fan of this brand and glad to see they are going into this market with their SSD storage sticks. I look forward to seeing the next Gen ones with even larger storage!

Bright, Mechanical, Comfortable with Large Hands
on September 19, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I was searching for a compact keyboard that had mechanical responsive keys to allow me to feel the keys upon typing on them. I have always found for large hands, mechanical keys stand out better and easier to type on. I decided to try this keyboard after reading other reviews and glad I did. I am very impressed with the responsiveness of the keys and how bright the keyboard is. The setup is extremely easy, pretty much "plug n play". It is basic layout using the FN key to control the volume, brightness, etc. I do like how light this keyboard is to allow for easier transport. It makes it perfect for traveling in a small carry case. The quality of the product is pretty impressive as well. The keys are plastic however they do not scratch easily and dont have marks on them after long period of use. The lights are both the keys and background under the keys as well. As for cleaning, the keys are spaced out just enough to allow for easy cleaning. Overall I do enjoy this keyboard and recommend this keyboard to try out for anyone how enjoys using mechanical keys

Durable, Great Sound Range, App does not work
on September 2, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I have been in need of a strong durable microphone while being outside making videos or streaming. I came across this mic and decided to give it a try. I was impressed with the level of quality and the stability of the device during movement. The mic is easy to mount on the camera / camcorder and really liked the additional aux plug. It was very nice that they also included wind resistance cover on those high wind days.
During the recording the sound sounded sharp and clear, catching the lows and the highs of soft speakers. During action shots it was able to capture the environment very well while still maintaining the directional sound being the focus. The wind resistant sleeve works ok, although if its very high winds will obviously pick it up. I thought the ability to modify the output gain or mono-mix with an ease of a button was a great feature. Especially since the app doesn't work to allow me access to the equalizer.
The app itself is appears very basic allowing connection through bluetooth to modify the frequency. Unfortunately I was unable to test this part as the app never worked on my Samsung. I submitted feedback to support awaiting to hear of an update so only docked 1 star.
Overall this is a great, sturdy strong microphone that I recommend for those wanting good sound in different environments.

Great Sounds, Hear Yourself on Mic, Requires Setup
on September 1, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I was in search of a dependable headset that had good range when having to move around the room. I was really happy coming across this product and extremely impressed with the range. I can literally move around the entire house and still have great quality sound / mic. The headset sits on my head perfectly and covers my ears without any un-comfort. Out of the box it was easy to plug in and use with the computer , Playstation and Xbox that I have.
The only issue is the audio quality requires advance familiarity to truly maximize the quality. I ended up having to go through YouTube to properly configure each individual equalizer band along with the advance sonar sound range. If you choose not to go that route it still sounds nice however not worth the money paid for. Only when properly configuring the audio you truly get your money's worth.
The mic is super sensitive and pics up the voice without any issues. I do like how you can extend the mic cord closer to your mouth. The only issue is even with the settings you still hear yourself ever so lightly so for some that can become annoying. As with the audio, Mic settings must be customized in the equalizer as well, otherwise your voice sounds very flat. However once you properly customize, your voice will have the nice deep and rich ranges.
The battery life is amazing and the multi feature of bluetooth + dongle connection allows for multiple methods of connecting your headset to multiple functions. For example connecting to discord while playing FPS game on PS5, or when a call comes in , it picks up the call and lowers the overall volume of the game.
Overall this is a great product however requires a TON of customization for audio and mic.

Compact, Ease of Use, Very Efficient
on September 1, 2022
Posted by: TechTux
I have been looking for a nice small, quick and easy air fryer for my small place. I ran across this and so impressed with how it functions making my meals easy to prepare. This little device takes no time at all on setup with a small book that provides quick pre-sets to use when cooking. The cleaning of the equipment was very easy with very few parts that need to be cleaned. The only issue I came across when cleaning was the window on the front. It has open spacers on top and bottom for water to go through however you are unable to remove the front to clean water droplets or potential fog.
This product can air fry or bake so it works well to act as a small oven. However it is recommended to lower the recommended temperature by 50 degree as its very compact. I have tried making some fried items along with backing some fish. All worked well with no issue, plus I really like how you can use the inside light to check on the food. The electric panel is very basic so recommend keeping the book by your side until get use to the keys.
Overall this is a great product to use for small apartments / small groups. Its quick and easy to prepare food and easy to clean after use.

Yes it will stream both and the quality is just as good as Roku however the Netflix version on Amazon TV/Firestick will not show the actually video quality in the status during play. I am always checking to make sure Netflix is streaming the show at 720p or 1080p as it can change during play and that was a little disappointing when I discovered I couldn't on Amazon TV/Firestick
