Easy set-up, strong performance

Linksys has long been my favorite brand of routers. I've had terrific performance with several other models and my experience was no different with the MR8300. I tested it paired with an AC1300 range extender.
Pros:
- Excellent coverage. With the help of the extender I had strong signal in all areas of my 2300 square foot home.
- Fast speeds. I didn't experience any issues streaming HD media content. This model is rated to handle up to 2.2 Gbps
- Small form factor. It doesn't take up too much space like some other larger models.
- Price. This router has terrific performance for the price it's going for.
- You have the ability to add additional extenders if needed for larger home sizes.

Top Notch Chromebook (and tablet!)
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
My current Chromebook is about 3 years old and the battery health has started to fade so I was really looking forward to an upgrade. This Dell Chromebook is exactly what I was looking for.
Pros:
- The keyboard is back-lit, allowing for dark room typing.
- The screen easily rotates around and turns it from a laptop to a tablet. Most apps I use on regular tablets are compatible and the touch screen was very responsive.
- 4GB of RAM and an i3 processor give you all the power you need. In tablet mode, games I've played on my tablet like Plants vs. Zombies run much better.
- The power cord has a convenient LED light so it is easy to find when you are looking to plug in for a charge.
- You have FULL access to the regular Google Play store and all the apps within. Most older Chromebooks limit the apps you can access.
- Excellent battery life.
- Fast boot up times, automatic updates, and no worry virus protection.

Cons:
- It's a little heavy for a Chromebook. But that is a decent sacrifice for the screen size, battery life, and power.
- It isn't easy to open. While the design is sleek, it takes a little bit of effort to pry the lid open. You basically need to force your fingers in between to create a gap that will allow you to lift up the screen when the lid is closed. This was a poor design choice.

Good power, great price

If you are in the market for a PC gaming rig but do not want to break the bank, this is an excellent option.
Pros:
- Smaller sized tower than most gaming rigs, freeing up space at your desk or entertainment center
- The price is terrific considering the amount of RAM (16GB), the powerful processor, and the presence of a solid state drive
- The SSD allows for swift boot up times
- The system can play pretty much any game you throw at it, but may need to have settings tweaked for the most graphically intensive games out there
- Ideal for anyone that is a casual gamer but can also be used as a family PC to multitask very efficiently, including tasks like video editing
- Powerful enough to run Virtual Reality programs if you have a VR device. I look forward to trying it out if I find a good deal on one.

Cons:
- While the small size case is also a pro, the con is that the system will not be easily upgradable. Fortunately, the specs are good enough to keep you going for a couple years without many issues with newer games that come out.

Overall this is a great buy. If you are anything less than the most hardcore gamer this system will be great for you. It is also a good choice for a holiday gift for your children that are interested in gaming.

Excellent Performance, Easy to Set Up
on November 11, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the third Velop product that I have had the opportunity to use and evaluate and it performed just as well as the previous 2 products. The difference with this system is that instead of similar satellite nodes being installed throughout the rest of the home, plug-in nodes are used instead. This makes for an easier installation but performance in my 2300 square foot home did not suffer.
The benefit of having regular nodes include having extra ethernet ports to connect to around your house. If you don't have a need for them, then this system would be a good choice for you. All you need to do is find electrical outlets that are spaced evenly around your home where you need a strong signal and the Linksys system takes care of the rest.
Set-up was extremely simple and speed-tests showed that I was getting max download and upload speeds that my Internet Service Provider allows for my plan. Parental controls that are available will come in handy as my children get older but I do not need them yet. One of the reasons I prefer the plug-in nodes is that I don't have to take up valuable shelf space or struggle to find a good location for a hub. Electrical outlets are typically spaced out well in a home and that makes it easy to decide where to put them.
Overall, this system is a great option for medium sized homes that need improved wireless performance. It should definitely be considered by anyone in the market for a new tri-band mesh network.for their home.

Easy to Set Up, Nice Features
on November 11, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is my first set of smart bulbs so I was unsure of what I was getting into. I do own a Google Home smart speaker so I was interested to see how they would integrate and if they would function as I anticipated.
First off, set-up went well. All you have to do is install an app, connect the smart hub to your router, install your bulbs, and then you are off and running. Then you can connect to your home Wi-Fi and start playing around in the app.
Some of the best features of this product include:
- The ability to turn lights on and off at the push of a button on your phone.
- A huge variety of colors to choose from.
- The ability to set timers for when your lights come on and off. This is perfect for if you are on vacation and want to make it appear that someone is still home.
- Google Home integration (and Alexa too). I can use voice commands to not only turn the lights on and off, but also select the color I want.

I was thoroughly pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone that is looking to add more automated features to their home. I just wish it came with 4 bulbs instead of 3 so that my ceiling fan would have a full compliment of lights. Guess I'll be going shopping for more!

Easy Set-Up, Solid Performance
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have used only inkjet printers over the years and have always suffered from two problems: Either the ink would run out too quickly and I had to buy expensive replacements, or the ink would dry up in the dispenser if I went too long in between printing sessions. For these reasons I have always wanted a laser printer that uses a toner cartridge. I am stoked that I don't have to worry about ink for a long time as toner cartridges last forever.
Pros:
- Easy to set up. I used the printer menu to connect to my wireless network then installed the Mopria app on my phone and was printing wirelessly in no time flat.
- As stated above, toner cartridges last forever. You don't have to worry about them drying up or running out after printing a few photos.
- Can print on both sides of the paper

- Can print on both sides of the paper
Cons:
- Black and white printing only. But I actually don't mind this as it's easy to upload and print photos at your local drug store or to use an online service to mail them to you. It is way cheaper than buying your own ink.
- The menu display is poor. Printers from 10 years ago had interfaces like this one. While it's easy enough to navigate, it just seems like ancient technology. The buttons you press to navigate also seem cheap and feel like they could wear out over time.

Excellent Power for a Cordless Vacuum
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Most cordless vacuums I have used lack two things: Battery life and suction power. The Shark Ion X40 does not have either of those problems.
First, it was easy to assemble taking less than 5 minutes before I was up and running. It didn't take long to fully charge it right out of the box. My first test run lasted a good 10-15 minutes and I didn't experience any loss of suction power. I'm sure I could have run it for much longer if needed. It seems like battery life will be solid and is advertised to last 40 minutes in handheld mode.
Regarding the suction strength, while it is decent in regular mode, turbo (Ion) mode may be needed at times for heavier jobs. This will drain the battery more quickly though so I tend to only use it here and there. But when its activated you can easily tell the difference. When activated it has better power than any cordless vacuum I have seen.
The only downside to this vacuum is the price. If you can afford it, go for it, as you won't find a better cordless option.

Excellent Vacuum, Excellent Price
on November 3, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have been using this vacuum for about a week now and have been extremely pleased with its performance.
I don't own any pets, but you don't need any for a vacuum like this. While its specialty is pet hair, it works wonderfully for human hair as well as I have a wife and daughter that "shed" constantly. This unit outperformed most other vacuums I have ever used from a pure cleaning standpoint. Suction power was terrific.
Other features that I enjoyed were the crevice tool to help you get in between the couch cushions and other tight spots, its ease to maneuver despite the heavier weight, and the motorized brush for spot cleaning duties.
If I wanted to nitpick this vacuum it would be the overall weight and loudness of the motor, but these are minor quibbles and a happy trade-off for its performance. If you are looking for a vacuum that performs well at a great price, pet hair or not, this is an excellent model to consider.

The A6G series. Proving that good things come in big packages too. Take your pick from 75”, 70”, 65”, 60”, 55”, 50” and 43” screens. For 4K UHD picture quality, in the perfect size for your space. With Android TV, you can discover 700,000+ movies and shows in one place. Ask Google to control your TV with your voice. And cast your photos, videos, and music from devices to your TV easily with Chromecast built-in™. Add to that Dolby Vision HDR and Auto Low Latency Game Mode. Or as we call it, a great looking TV.
Is this TV good for gaming?
Yes, I would say so! I have been using it with my Xbox One X for about a week now and it has been great for the games I play. What I've liked most is I can now read better for some games that have tiny text that was tough to see on smaller TVs.

Battery depletion depends on many things including your weight, what performance-mode you are in (sport uses the most juice), the terrain you are riding on, etc. But a max of 28 miles as advertised is possible, depending on those variables.

I didn't have any of these issues with mine, so it seems that the issue has been resolved. It may have just been a bad batch during their first production run.

How do you have to recharge the R7070? Does it need a special electric outlet? How high can the outlet be. Can you program this without a smart phone?
It has a docking station for charging. The vacuum is smart enough to know when it's battery is running low and returns to the docking station to charge on it's own. It does not need to be a special outlet. The power cord is long enough for you to use pretty much any electric outlet you may have. And yes, there is an app to use with the vacuum where you can program how you want it to run.
