Extra Storage!
on July 23, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Many Xbox models come with limited storage these days, especially if you buy the lower cost versions with small hard drives. These Western Digital external hard drives are the perfect solution for folks that own some of these models and want to expand their storage capacity for games. Games take up A LOT of hard drive space these days with the average game taking about 50 GB. This can limit you to 6 or 7 games installed at a time on the Xbox models with small internal hard drives.
Set-up is extremely easy, just plug your hard drive in and it is recognized automatically by your Xbox. When downloading games you can choose to have them installed on your internal hard drive or the external hard drive and you can set either one as your preferred option in your settings. With the 500 GB hard drive on my older Xbox, I often had to delete games to make room for new ones. With external storage, I can now install dozens of games easily without having to be so picky about what I keep downloaded.
This device comes in 2TB and 5TB sizes. 2 terabytes will be enough for most people, but if you have a huge game library, go for the 5TB. This device comes with a 3 year warranty, which provides nice peace of mind!

Good Shaver with Wet/Dry Capability
on June 28, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I've always been an electric razor guy and have been using them for over 20 years now. This one does the job as well or better than any of the others I have used.
Battery life is good and you will not need to charge it too often. The shave provided is fairly close, as you would expect with an electric razor. Not nearly as close as a manual razor, but good enough for me!
Cleaning is a snap, as this model allows for being run under the faucet to rinse it out. I am used to using brushes to clean out the trimmings so it was nice to not have to do that. Note that this model does not come with a brush so if you do prefer to dry clean, you will need to supply your own.
One of the features I really enjoyed with this electric razor is the pivoting head (pictured). It shifts to match your angle of pressure while shaving very nicely. Overall, this is an excellent razor to consider if you are in the market for one.

Great Starter Device for Basic Needs
on June 13, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This Acer model is sold at an excellent price point for what it is. It's small, portable, provides all of the basic functionality that you would need in a laptop (email, video streaming, even Zoom!), and does all that at a very affordable price. The USB-C charging is nice, as that is the expected standard for the future. To be able to charge up several devices and only bring one power cord on a trip is a great thing.
I plan to have this chromebook be used by my 1st grader as their starter device to learn the basics, get familiar with keyboards, and learn to browse the web safely. It could also be a nice living room device that you can tuck away easily thanks to its small form factor (see images with a pen for scale). I tested out Zoom, installing the app to chrome and made a test call. It worked perfectly so we are prepared to use this for school if it is conducted remotely next year at any point.
The 4 GB of RAM is a nice bonus for such an affordable chromebook, keeping things running swiftly and smoothly!
Overall, this is a great budget chromebook for anyone in the market for one!

Top of the Line Gaming Chair!
on May 17, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have sat in many gaming chairs over the years. This is by far the best of the bunch.
Pros:
- Construction and design are impeccable. You can tell that Razer used the best materials that would be long lasting and prevent wear and tear. You get the best of comfort and longevity.
- The integrated lumbar support is unique and helps support marathon gaming sessions that we all enjoy. It is easily adjustable with a lever on the right hand side of the chair.
- Assembly was very easy. The chair comes well packaged and only requires a handful of screws and a single tool (included) to put together.
- The included memory foam pillow is a nice added touch.
- All of the adjustables you would expect in a gaming chair are here including recline, height adjustment, and arm rest adjustments (4-directional).
One thing to be mindful of is that this is a chair for adults and grown teenagers. If you are shopping for anyone under 14, this chair will likely be far too big for them.
This chair may be one of the higher priced ones out there, but you get what you pay for. I doubt you'll find yourself looking to replace this one years down the road as it is built to last! I love it.

Great compact design
on April 11, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
For those of us that like to stream content, but still also like to enjoy our DVD and Blu-ray libraries, this is a great option.
Pros:
- Plays DVDs, Blu-Rays, and CDs perfectly well
- Menus function well, with fairly low lag when going from screen to screen. Apps load well and function without issue.
- An HDMI cable is included! Some manufacturers try to save a few bucks by not including them.
- Disc tray is nicely hidden to give the unit a very sleek look.
- Despite having a disc drive, the form factor is excellent. You can fit this device nearly anywhere. I've shared a photo with a deck of cards for scale.
- Has a standby feature that helps you turn it on and off very quickly.
I have not come across anything that I don't like about this Blu-ray player yet. It should come in nice and handy when we want to watch some of our old favorites or if our internet service ever goes down!

Does it all
on March 31, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Are you looking for a helper around the house that can not only vacuum your floors, but also do some mopping as well? Here's your new best friend!
Pros:
- There are many robot vacuums on the market. Not many of them can both vacuum and mop. This one can. It is designed well to accomplish this, allowing you to easily pull out the dry vacuum compartment and insert the water/cleaning solution compartment. The unit seemed to recognize naturally whether it was in dry mode or wet mode just based on what basin was inserted.
- It mopped well. Of course you will get a better result with a regular mop and elbow grease, but this does the trick for lightly soiled floors. The cleaning pads can be machine washed for reuse and came out looking good after our first mopping session. They seem well made and should hold up for plenty of mopping cycles.
- The vacuum mode is super quiet compared to my other robot vacuum. Even on the strongest power setting you can still watch TV over the noise.
- The vacuum has a 3-stage filter to help with motor life. It comes with one extra filter and also extra mopping pads and sweeping brushes.
- The app worked well for me. Connecting the robot was easy, and it is also easy to change power modes, cleaning styles (grid or spot cleaning), or send the robot to its dock. You can also schedule when you want it to run in the app.
Cons:
- My other robot vacuum has much better suction power. Don't rely on this as your only vacuum in your home. I think it is always good to have a standard vacuum for heavy duty and one of these for lighter duty to limit the amount of fine dust/dirt on your floors.
If it had a little bit more suction power I would give it 5 stars. I would gladly sacrifice a louder motor for improved cleaning. It does well though, and would still be a good investment with its cross-functionality.

Great power, range, and features (Cruise control)
on March 15, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This new Hover-1 electric scooter model, the Blackhawk, is probably their best offering yet. It's not perfect, but is well worth the investment.
Pros:
- Multiple operation modes from beginner, to intermediate, to sport mode where you can let loose on the scooter's full capabilities.
- Enough power to climb medium grade hills. Many electric devices can't even handle slight inclines. I was able to go up fairly steep gradients, at a slower speed, without issue.
- Cruise Control! This will be your best friend on long rides, as holding down the accelerator can be straining over long distances.
- Battery life seems great. I've been riding almost daily for over a week and have half power left from a full charge. The advertised range of 28 miles seems totally realistic. The advertised top speed of 18MPH is also easily reachable if not going uphill. I'm 185 pounds, but this model is rated to handle a load of 220 pounds.
- Headlight and taillight for riding at dark!
Cons:
- Instructions were lacking. You can do basic set-up and get riding without issues. But there are sub-menus to access in order to do things like switch from Kph to Mph for the speedometer but no walk-through of how to do it is provided. It took trial and error.
- The kickstand can be difficult to find blindly with your foot in a dark environment. But this can also be a plus as it won't get caught on things accidentally.
- Online support is lacking. I had a couple basic questions to ask about the scooter but couldn't find the info I needed in the paperwork or on the website. This could be because the Blackhawk is a new model just getting released.
- The biggest issue I had was a squealing sound coming from the rear tire. I was able to find some YouTube videos on my own and get the squeak to go away after improving the alignment of the caliper (pictured). I wasn't put off by this though, as you should be able to do basic/simple maintenance on bikes/scooters if you are going to own one.
Cons aside, this scooter is just a blast. The cost is reasonable for what you are getting as the scooter is solid, does what is says it will do, and really has the power you need for a fun day in the sun.

Top-Notch Gaming Laptop
on February 21, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This laptop was designed with gaming in mind and ASUS did a terrific job in those efforts. While I have typically been a console gamer, there is no denying that PCs are the way to go for an optimal gaming experience.
Pros:
- While most gamers will use a high end set of headphones, this laptop has terrific onboard speakers. The best I have seen on any laptop
- The "Armoury Crate" dashboard provides a beautiful snapshot to track gaming performance, toggle fan speed, change mode presets, etc
- A huge track pad is included, making multi-touch gestures much easier
- Actual gaming performance was the best I've personally experienced in a laptop with top-notch frame rates. I broke out my Steam library to put it through the paces and came away extremely impressed.
- The feet on the bottom of the laptop help give it some space to improve airflow and reduce the chances of overheating
- Customizable back-lit keyboard!
Cons:
- As this is a high end gaming laptop, expect to pay a bit more than you would for something that is not as strong on the performance specs. But you get what you pay for! And you will not have to upgrade for a long time!
Within one week of release this model was sold out at Best Buy, and there is a good reason for that. It is awesome in every way. I highly recommend it for all serious gamers.

Next Level Charcoal Grilling
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I am an amateur griller, at best. I have grilled in the past but have never been skilled at it and continue to learn from each meal I cook. With that being said, my experience with the Everdure Fusion has been extremely positive.
What sets the Fusion apart from other grills is the ease at which you can get your coals going. Pile them up over the heating element, push a single button, and 15 minutes later you have coals that are ready to spread out and start cooking.
I've been using the Fusion for about a week now and have cooked up a variety of steaks (NY strip, sirloin, and a couple of ribeyes) and also some hamburgers. Everything came out extremely tasty. I used Everdure branded charcoal and the steaks were the most delicious I've ever cooked myself. I have been watching some grilling tutorials online which have really helped.
Some other items of note about the Fusion:
- Clean up is very easy
- The grill seems very high-end with terrific design. It seems built to last
- I love the portability as you can easily lift it off the pedestal and throw it in your car to take camping or to the beach
- Be prepared for it to wobble when cleaning it. While the pedestal stand is heavy duty, there is still some wobble to the grill, as there are with most if you are applying heavy pressure when scrubbing
- The electric rotisserie feature is a nice inclusion. Not many grills can do this!
If you purchase the Everdure Fusion I highly recommend also picking up the cover accessory (pictured). It fits perfectly over the grill, is nicely weighted, is waterproof, and held up nicely on some windy nights. I can't imagine it getting blown away.

High Capacity Blender
on November 24, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
My previous blender was getting old and this one arrived just in time. As my kids get older, they are beginning to enjoy smoothies so I find myself making them for 4 instead of just myself and my wife. The capacity of this blender (72 ounces) allows you to easily fill four pint glasses with your favorite smoothie recipe in a single batch. Here are some other things I took notes of:
Pros:
- No need for bells and whistles. There's just an on/off button, a pulse button, and a radio dial for power.
- 2 smaller containers are included so that you can easily take your beverages on the go.
- If you don't want to use the large pitcher, you can blend in one of the smaller to-go containers with the 2nd blade.
- Suction cups securely hold the base in place on your kitchen counter. Even at full power it will not move around.
- The containers are dishwasher safe!
Cons:
- The blade will be challenging to clean as it does not detach from the blender jar. But this can also be a good thing as there is less chance of leaks. Regardless, make sure you rinse quickly after use before any liquids have a chance to harden in place.
This is an affordable and sturdy blender that I expect to suit our needs for many years.

How do I pair this thing?

Hold down either button on either earbud for 3-4 seconds and you will hear a message "ready to be paired". Then select the LG option that shows up on the device you are searching from. It will show up in your list as "LG HBSF110 Master".

Remove dirt and debris from carpet with this Shark Navigator upright vacuum. A detachable canister lets you empty the vacuum easily, and the included tools make cleaning upholstery or inside crevices easy. This Shark Navigator upright vacuum uses a HEPA filter to remove harmful allergens and micro particles for healthier air.
 

some item, such as a rag or something of that nature is jammed in the hose, close to the plastic handle and will not allow air to pass through, how do I dislodge it?

Coat hangers are your best option as they are firm, but malleable.

Does the Google Home have an Aux audio output jack? Does it support audio output via Bluetooth or do I have to buy a Chromecast in order to get audio out of the Google Home?

There is no Aux audio output jack. It does not connect via bluetooth. It connects to your home's Wi-Fi network the same way a chromecast device does. Having a chromecast is optional, as you can have audio come directly from the Home device, or have it played through a chromecast connected TV.
