Our baby monitor was built with the same Rexing standards and will prove to be the best personal babysitter. Our baby monitor stands out as it can record 720p video and Audio, all while alerting you if your baby is crying or if the temperature gets too hot or cold. Also, help your baby sleep faster by setting up and playing up to 8 lullaby songs.

Works, but nothing special compared to cheap Wi-Fi
on July 4, 2022
Posted by: blahnika
I have used a Wi-Fi security camera and a tablet as my baby monitor for my kids which is what this would replace. So my review is comparing that setup to having a camera and little screen that you get with this.
On the good side, this is easy to setup. Just plug in the camera and the screen and you’re ready to go. The screen can charge as you use it, so you can start using it right away. The screen and camera connect to each other out of the box, or you can sync them if for some reason they don’t. Since this is not connected to any Wi-Fi you don’t have to worry about the signal or having passwords, and generally from my trying it was very stable from one room to another. This is the biggest concern with the Wi-Fi camera I have, is very seldom, but sometimes, either the tablet turns off or app cashes. The positive with the camera and screen in one package is that I’ve not had issues with things dropping out.
Outside of the stability of not using an app though, there are not many other positives. The screen is way too small to be able to see much, so you rely more on the sounds, and you could then just get a mic and speaker rather then having a camera. Since you are not connected to Wi-Fi you are also suck having to have the little screen and if you forget where it is then you cannot see what’s going on. The controls to move the camera are also a little funky, as pressing the arrows doesn’t do it and you have to get into the mode by holding one of the directions.
Overall if you have decent wifi and a tablet, you’re better off getting a wifi camera and using that with a backup of a device for sound only. I like the idea of having a screen on top of just sound, but a baby monitor for sound will work better since the screen is too small to see anything anyway and the wifi camera gives you much better picture quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Decent but too large
on May 9, 2022
Posted by: blahnika
from Boston, MA
Nice wheel and I played mostly on PC, but it just takes too much space. unless you're only playing racing games this is hard to work with as it takes up your whole desk and you have nowhere to put it. If I was playing on a PS5 I also am not sure that the cord is long enough, my PC is beside me and it barley reaches.
Again, its a nice wheel but you need to mount it and it takes up the whole desk. The peddles then are light and for me at least keep moving.
On the nice side, this provides force feedback so its a step up when playing a racing game vs a controllers. The PC app you download also lets you customize this quite a bit so you can make it work, though most racing games support it directly.
Maybe for me as a casual racing player its just not for me, and I don't have anything but a controller to compare it to. Its nice but just takes up too much room and too hard to setup and then take down that I don't really use it much as its a hassle and I don't have the space for a separate space for just this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great wireless office mouse that’s silent
on February 7, 2022
Posted by: blahnika
from MA
To start off, I love the way you unpack it. I always hate when you buy something and then you cannot open the package, so was nice its ready to open without scissors.
Ok, packaging aside this is a nice mouse for daily office use. I like that it gives you both a dongle and Bluetooth, as I find Bluetooth can be funky but don’t want to have the dongle plugged into my laptop when I undock it. So I have the dongle in the dock, and when I walk off with the laptop turn it to Bluetooth mode and use the mouse without needing to unplug and then plug in a USB.
Comparing to other mice including the gaming mouse I use at home, it does take a few hours to get use to. The soft touch is a little weird at first since I’m use to the clicking, but its pretty nice if you are in an office no one is going to hear you clicking and does feel good once you are use to it.
The size is also nice, as most wireless mice I’ve used tended to be really small.
Overall if you’re looking for a mouse for the office I highly recommend this one.

The best quick skin spa you can have at home
on February 7, 2022
Posted by: blahnika
from MA
I got this for my wife who is home taking care of our two kids. She complained that her skin got really dehydrated and sensitive due to not enough sleep and no time to take care the skin.
She loves it a lot and uses it all the time since she got it. She calls it the best quick spa at home.
You must download the FOREO app and pair the device, choose the mask and you’re ready to go (the app is very easy to use). It has nice and warm touch to the skin, 90 mins automatic off. Even without the app you can use it too, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It is easy to grab for the morning or before going to sleep or any time you feel like it.
It is a really good size and the battery can last really long time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still the best for new users, not for upgrade
on December 23, 2021
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
If you're looking for some decent photo editing and video editor for personal use, this is the best option out there. Both don't have everything full photoshop has, but for most people for your home use, this is more than enough. There maybe other simple option for photo editing, but for video editing Premier is top of the line.
With that said, while I highly recommend this for new users, if you're looking to upgrade from a previous year, I don't feel there is much of a change. So I wouldn't recommend if you're looking to upgrade.

You shouldn’t have to settle for a watered-down version of your favorite iced coffee at home. By brewing at a lower temperature, preinfusing and offering the ability to customize to an extra strong taste, smooth, full-bodied coffee over ice that is never watered down. An automatic bean-to-cup machine, Dinamica offers “one-touch” beverages: espresso, long espresso, drip-style coffee, and a new feature - Over Ice, just select the strength to your liking. To deliver the freshest brew possible, the Dinamica’s revolutionary technology grinds the perfect amount of your favorite beans leaving no residual coffee in the brewing unit. Also, with an integrated Premium Adjustable Frother, you can create Italian classic cappuccino with a dryer milk foam texture or choose the Hot Milk setting for your latte. And cleanup is a snap, taking half the time of other machines - just pop out the drip tray, and drop it in the dishwasher.

Amazing coffee all the time
on November 22, 2021
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
I drink quite a lot of coffee, and until this point, it was coming from a pod or a pot. With this automatic coffee machine, I can't go back to either now as the coffee doesn't taste as good even though it's coming from the same beans. While this may not have all the fancy extras of higher-end models, to me it's just right and gets the job done.
Initial setup and then learning to use it does take a little time, and you really do need to read the manual to get everything out of it. I usually ignore the manual and figure it out, but I found myself needing to go through it to make sure settings are to my liking. Once you set things up and learn the different types of coffee, this is a great machine to use.
On the design side, the size is slightly larger than a machine for just brewing coffee into a pot, and about the same size of some of the pod ones I've used. The water is smartly placed on the side, so you can slide it out and fill it and not have to look for it in the back. You can also either have it grind the beans for you, or there is a spot to put your own which helps when I brew decaf. The startup and getting hot is also super fast, so you're not sitting around waiting to start making coffee.
There are a few things that you miss from higher-end models, like the ability to add milk directly (there is a milk frother, but it's manual) and you don't have much control over the coffee itself. My biggest challenge was the size of the coffee and learning which option makes the biggest coffee for when I'm heading out.
Overall I'm very happy with this and I've not gotten rid of my coffee pot machine and will never go back. If you're looking for an automatic coffee machine at a decent price, I highly recommend this.

Comfortable Mouse with 3 ways to connect
on November 22, 2021
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
I was a little skeptical with a wireless mouse for gaming, but after getting this I'm quite please as it can connect through a wire, through Bluetooth, and through its own dongle. The dongle stows away under the mouse so you don't lose it too. The performance is best wired in or the dongle, but Bluetooth is nice to have as an option.
The build itself is solid and has all the buttons that I've come to expect from a mouse for gaming. I've also used it to work and it also works great. My only complaint is that you have to click through the dpi settings, rather than being able to go up and down. I don't switch mine too much once I start a game, but if you do this would be an issue as there is only one button for this.
Overall great mouse with multiple ways to connect that gives you options

Nice vacuum with multiple ways of use
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
When first getting the vacuum, I was expecting to be a big and bulky one, however, after using it all the different ways you can move things around makes it a great vacuum for around the house. I like that you can take the different parts off and use it for what works best for the task, and the fact that it can be both a vacuum for the floor and then you take off a cord to get to the hard to reach places means you only need one vacuum for the whole house.
On the performance side, it has some power, especially compared to other battery-powered vacuums I've had. It does have a battery that lasts enough for me, and since it's removable if you have a larger area you can get an extra one so you can keep going if one dies on you. So far it's been a great vacuum that I highly recommend.

The indoor Nest Cam knows the difference between a person, pet, and vehicle, and alerts you about the things that matter to you, instead of the things that don't. 24/7 live view shows you what’s happening from anywhere.* With 3 hours of free event video history, you can go back and see what you missed. And it comes in different colors to fit your style. The indoor Nest Camera requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.

Decent Camera with limited integration
on October 25, 2021
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
I use multiple different cameras and other IoT devices for my home, so integration to other platforms is important, and unfortunately with the removal of using the nest app and only using the google home app this camera doesn't work for me. If you don't have other cameras or you exclusively use Google for your smart home this may work for you, but if you have any other home hub for all your devices this is not going to work. The only way you can use the camera is through the google home app, which means even the nest app that had some integration doesn't work.
Outside of the one big negative for me, the camera is pretty good. Setup in the google home app is easy, and I love the ability to ignore motion for known faces. This feature lets you not get a notification for people in your household which is nice if you are using the camera to help guard your home. You do have to use google services to use the camera, so there is no on-device storage which may not be for everyone. The actual camera is a pretty solid build, and heavy enough to stay in place plus it comes with mounting brackets. I actually would have liked this to be an outdoor camera, so it's also a little disappointing it is only for indoor use.
Overall, if you are using only google for your smart home and want an indoor camera this is pretty decent. But if you are in multiple ecosystems then you won't be able to add this camera there.

Too large otherwise would be good
on October 8, 2021
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
The headphones are just too large and don't fit in my ear well. There is no attachment to change how big they are, so for me, they didn't work. These are significantly bigger than the Apple AirPods or earbuds I've used, as a comparison. If when you buy headphones you use the large attachment, these could be for you. The other issue I had is they don't exist in the app yet, so I wasn't able to try that out.
Unfortunately, size was an issue since everything else was great. The sound quality was really good for this type of headphones, and they easily turned on and off when you put them or take them out of the case. You're also getting a case that has a USB C charger, as more and more things move that way it is good when a new product uses that, and you get a cable too (no plug).
If you need large earbuds, then this is for you. But if you need small ones or have issues with plastic ones staying in your ear, then you may want to look at something else.

The AU-Stream Hybrid is a premium headphone engineered to create a powerful sound that exceeds expectations in a true wireless earbud. The AU-Stream Hybrid reduces the ambient noise in your surroundings and, like all of Ausounds' Soundproof noise-cancelling earbuds, this earbud still provides the most detailed and accurate sound, even when ANC is employed
 

Does your earbuds have a comparable equalizer to control your own sound

No, not as part of the earbuds. Guess you would need the OS you connect to do to this. No app with it if you connect to at least an iPhone.

Can you use this to clean tile floors? I have dirty grout lines in my kitchen that need scrubbing and I'm wondering if this is a good tool for that.

The vacuum just sprays a solution, and then picks it up. So if you want to scrub, then probably wouldn't work well. If more like a mop and scoop up, then yes.
