Powerful and Silent Air Purification
on June 25, 2021
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
Despite its small size the Aeris Cleantec - Air Lite is surprisingly powerful. As a family that deals with allergies, we have definitely noticed an improvement in our home air quality. I absolutely love that the unit automatically monitors indoor air quality and adjusts filtration as appropriate, which keeps the unit practically silent while extending the longevity of the HEPA filter and blower unit over the lifetime of the machine.
Pros:
~Powerful filtration
~Relatively silent operation.
~Removes / Kills viruses
~The app simplifies setup and operation.
~Customiziable schedules
~Automatic real-time air quality monitoring
~Filter life monitoring for both the prefilter and HEPA filter
~Astethiticly pleasing design - easily incorporate into any decor.
Cons:
~The Control panel takes some getting used to. A little too minimalistic in my opinion
~Air quality analytics displayed in the app is set to the incorrect timezone making it difficult to interpret the data.
~Can be quite loud when operated manually.

Excellent Gaming Monitor
on May 7, 2021
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
Everything looks stunning on this display. Highly configurable and with zero ghosting or blurring. The ultrafast processor ensured a sharp and crystal clear picture. Games and videos looked amazing, and the color profiles were spot on.
Asus definitely put some thought into this display. Even though it's fairly lightweight, the build seems solid and well designed.
The only drawback is that it's only FHD (1080p) and not 4k.

Powerful vacuum / weak mop
on April 24, 2021
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
I'm actually impressed at how well this vacuum cleans while being practically silent.
The first time you start the unit, it maps the entire area. This is was extremely efficient and unlike other robot vacuums, plots an efficient path to minimize collisions.
The mopping function leaves a bit to be desired however, for light cleaning of hard floors it works perfectly fine, but if you're like me you will still manually mop a couple of times a week.
The only real negative I have is that you have to remove the mopping unit when cleaning carpeted areas. When I read the description "mops and vacuums simultaneously" I assumed you could program the cleaning function by room. This definitely is not the case.
All in all, this is a decent robot vacuum for the price.

Decent tax prep software
on February 21, 2021
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
After using another tax preparation software for many years, I decided to give H&R Block Tax Software Premium 2020 a shot. The guided questions and useful tax tips made for a relatively painless process.
I was a little disappointed to learn that while federal e-file was included in the purchase price; state e-file required additional fees. I would have happily given 5 stars had this not been the case.

Beautiful appliance and Perfect toast every time.
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
This is one sharp-looking toaster! It is very well designed lightweight, and sturdy. It stays cool to the touch, even after multiple cycles. It toasts evenly and consistently each and every time. I'm actually quite impressed.
If you're in the market for a new toaster, I highly recommend you give this one a try; you won't be disappointed!
Note: This isn't mentioned in the owner's manual, but you will want to run the toaster empty at the highest setting (7) at least 2 times to season and clean the heating elements. You may notice a slight smell and a little smoke. This is completely normal and the smell dissipates quickly.

Rock Solid Construction
on November 4, 2020
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
Honestly I'm fairly impressed with this system.
The system seems to be very well constructed. The keyboard and touch pad work flawlessly. I am especially pleased with the performance of the palm rejection of the touch pad. In my experience the touch pad on compact laptops often causes my curser to change locations as I write, which can be extremely frustrating. I've experienced none of that while using this system.
Another great feature of is the convertible hinge! I can tell HP spent a considerable amount of time perfecting this design. During my tests I've flipped / converted to tablet mode well over 100x and have yet to notice any loosening of the hinges or wobble commonly noted on convertible laptops. The screen stays firmly in place until I physically move it.
I should also mention touch display is also very responsive and vibrant. Images, text, videos, etc. are displayed flawlessly. Another great feature is the built-in privacy filter which can be turned on or off simply by pressing the f1 key. This is especially handy when working on the go.
I have not been able to test the pen capabilities of this system, as I have an HP active pen, which unfortunately is not compatible with this system.
Overall this is an excellent, well built, and portable system; perfect for working from home or distance learning. I highly recommend you consider this system for you next PC purchase.

Unbelievably flavorful cup of coffee.
on September 2, 2020
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
I've been drinking coffee brewed in a "K" style coffee maker for quite a few years and have always found the flavor to be lacking the intensity, aroma, and full bodied flavor. I knew from the moment I brewed my very first cup in the Nespresso Vertuo Next Premium that I was in for a whole new experience! I knew after my very first sip that the "K" brewer was on its way to the donation bin. I've tried almost every one of the included samples and have not been disappointed. Even the decaf was was amazing!
Good:
- 1 touch operation
- Small footprint - Takes up much less space than my old machine
- 1 touch top off - Single press of the power button will run additional water through the pod without sacrificing flavor.
- Machine can be calibrated to your specific flavor profile by programming the machine to add more or less water by pod size.
- Milk frother and warmer included for delicious cappuccinos, Americanos, Mochas, and Lattes at home!
--Can also make cold frothed milk for refreshing and delicious iced coffees.
- Reasonably priced premium coffee; Much cheaper and more flavorful than the leading coffee chain...
- Eco Friendly
--Fully Recyclable pods
--Coffee produced from sustainable sources
--Minimal packaging made from fully recycled materials.
Bad:
- Water reservoir is a little small - I can only fill 2 travel mugs before needing to refill.
- Pods are not readily available; easily ordered online.

Works Well on Carpets; Struggles with Hard Floors
on May 28, 2020
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
LG CordZero™ A9 Kompressor Stick Vacuum works well in carpeted areas, unfortunately, the powerhead does not adapt well to hard floors so small debris tend to be pushed rather than picked up. Previous models had a dedicated hard floor powerhead, which would greatly improve the performance of this model. Despite the less than stellar performance hardwood, it works very well on carpeted areas. I especially like the grab and go convenience for spot cleaning without the hassle of dealing with cords. I also like the versatility of the attachments, the exceptionally long battery life, and portability!
One last note, even though this system is not “pet” rated, it had no trouble removing pet hair from carpets and furniture.
Pros
• Convenient
- No cords to tangle
- Easily gets under furniture
• Kompressor™
- Quickly cleans dust cup
- Improves suction
• Long battery life
- 40-60 minutes with a single battery on normal setting and powerhead
- Extra battery included for up to 120 minutes of use.
• Suction
- Normal mode is suitable for general light cleaning
- High mode is necessary to clean heavily soiled areas.
- Turbo mode works well for deep cleaning but drastically reduces battery life.
• Washable Filters and cyclone channels to ensure suction is maintained.
• Sturdy storage stand
- Lacks storage locations for included power punch head
• Lightweight and comfortable
• Adjustable wand
Cons
• Works well on carpeting but struggles on hard floors
- Powerhead does not adjust for flooring types, so it tends to push small debris instead of picking them up. This is especially noticeable on hard floors
• Clogs easily
- Small debris become trapped in the dust cup inlet
- Debris tend to become trapped above Kompressor™ requiring manual removal.

Impressive Drone - Packed with Features!
on May 10, 2020
Posted by: TcCokato
from Cokato, MN
Impressive Drone – Intelligent, easy to use features; Up to 34 minutes of flight!
If you’re in the market for a reasonably priced full feature drone, then this is the one you want! The DJI Mavic Air 2 is packed with many features reserved for high end (high priced) drones. The ½” - 48MP sensor is far better than any other drone in this price range. This camera paired with a responsive 3-axis gimble delivers high quality, high-resolution photos, and stunning smooth professional-looking videos.
The intelligent flight modes paired with advanced flight safety systems make this drone exceptionally easy to fly, and the impressive 34-minute flight time keeps you in the air with ample time to safely return home after capturing your perfect shot!
The DJI fly app lacks a few features, controls, and settings, I’ve become accustomed to while flying a DJI drone. Thankfully this can be easily corrected with a future app update.
All in all, this is a solid, well-built drone, packed with features, and thanks to everything included with the Fly More Combo, this package is definitely a great value for anyone wishing to get into aerial drone photography!
Key features
• 1/2” sensor
- 48MP photos
- 12MP photos with high dynamic range
- 4k60fps video
• Smart photo
- This is the go-to camera mode to capture quick photos, especially when the subject/scene changes quickly. This setting takes all of the guesswork out of getting the perfect shot.
- Automatic scene recognition automatically chooses the camera settings for optimal image quality. While in this mode the drone will choose between HDR, HyperLite, and Scene recognition to optimize dynamic range, remove noise in low light conditions, and fine-tune camera settings to capture the best shot possible.
- Note this feature is not available while the drone is set to capture 48MP photos.
• 8k hyper-lapse
- The DJI Mavic Air 2 drone is the first drone on the market to enable aspiring filmmakers the ability to capture hyper-lapse video in 8k! This shooting mode can also be paired with many of the built-in flight modes to quickly capture stunning and professional-looking videos with virtually no skill required.
• Autonomous functions
- FocusTrack
- Three different tracking modes are built in to help you capture the perfect shot
• Active track – The drone will follow the chosen subject. Minor flight adjustments can be made while in this mode, but thanks to obstacle avoidance, this drone can navigate fairly complicated airspace without a problem.
• Point of interest (POI) – The drone automatically navigates around an object of interest, keeping the subject centered within the frame.
• Spotlight – Similar to active track, the selected subject remains centered within the frame but the drone’s movement is under the control of the pilot.
- QuickShots - (Rocket, Circle, Dronie, Helix, Boomerang, or Asteroid)
• Flight time
- 34-minutes
- In the flight tests I performed, I generally achieved 29-32 minutes of flight before the drone prompted automatic landing. Note: during my test flights we were experiencing fairly high winds and unseasonable cold weather, so your flight time may vary.
• Range
- Thanks to OcuSync 2.0 the fear of losing connection to your drone is essentially gone. 10km (6.2 mi) transmission ensures your drone remains connected even when obstructed by dense trees and structures.
• Safety
- APAS 3.0
- While enabled the drone easily navigated around trees, over structures, only stopping if a clear path could not be determined. I was especially impressed at how quickly the drone planned an alternate flight path and navigated around most obstacles.
- ADS-B
- Monitors the air space around your flight area and provides an onscreen alert that aircraft are present, reminding you to reduce the
drone’s altitude.

Is the cover the same thing as the keyboard? How much $ is that?
Thank you.

The type cover is the keyboard. At the time of this post the cover retails for about 130. It is a must have if you plan on using the system as more than an overpowered tablet.

Not that I have seen.. You can try to sideload the app, by putting the tv into developer mode, then allow unspecified sources.

Leakage and flooding

After reading the number of reviews which specify "water pumping from the machine instead of the hose" at variable periods of time after delivery, is there a way the owner can personally check the pump and hose connection periodically without requiring a service call?
You would need to tip the washer on its side, before you do this remember to put the drum locking bolts back in or you WILL damage the unit.

Best advice is to check and clean the pump filter regularly.
