Great mop that also picks up small dirt
on April 24, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
If you've ever used one of those mops that you can just take the bottom off of, I always end up with little pieces of dirt in one corner as it doesn't pick it up. This isn't the best vacuum, but as a mop that also happens to vacuum, it works great. The solution you get does a good job cleaning, and the vacuum does pick up little crumbs. So unless you have a huge mess, you can go right to just mopping and skip the sweep or vacuuming before.

Good sounding wired headset
on April 15, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
I have a wireless headset that I'm comparing this to. The Omen sounds great although I did have some initial issues as it installs the Omen command center app on windows 10 that causes some games to crash (did uninstall and got it working). Overall this is the best sounding headset I've used, and the noise canceling is good too. The voice quality is also really good.
My main issue is that the headset is pretty heavy. It's comfortable, but to get the sound it is heavy compared to some lighter ones I've used. The cord is also somewhat short, so I wasn't able to run it around my desk.
Still a good headset with a few little issues that are more my preference.

Nice small soundbar for small TV or Computer
on March 25, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
I am using this with a computer and cell phone to listen to music mostly. I've tried other smaller soundbars rather than computer speakers, but they all sound really bad. For my use, which is sitting pretty close to it and using it as a computer speaker, it works great and sounds great.
The Bluetooth works well, and it even comes with a digital audit cable which most of the time you need to buy separately. Most desktop PC's have digital audio out, or you can connect through the HDMI or Bluetooth.
Since I'm using this in a small area, it may not work that good if you have a big room but for what its made for and the size its the best soundbar I've used.
There are a few things that are lacking, but they are more things that would be nice to have. There is no auxiliary port so you cannot connect that way (plugin from a headphone port to the soundbar). Since this has Bluetooth, it would be nice to adjust settings with an app, but once you figure out the controls it's not too bad.
Overall, for a small office or small TV, I would highly recommend this soundbar.

Good for a quick power outrage but long RMA time
on February 9, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
the first unit I received had some issues after about 2 weeks. I contacted customer service and they got a new unit out but it took about 2 weeks to get to me. If you're relying on this day-to-day, that's a long time.
Other then that, everything works well I use it to make sure my server doesn't turn off if we have a quick outage. Last long enough for a 5 to 10 min outage, which means I don't need to go reboot everything after that.
I would recommend this if you're looking for a simple solution to make sure you have some time to shut down a computer or to make sure equipment that turns off easy when power flickers doesn't anymore.

Works good but costs extra
on February 1, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
Overall the software is good and easy to follow to get your taxes done. The issue I have is that you keep getting asked to pay more and then it costs extra to add states and to efile states. This is the same on all tax software I've used in the past, so better check the full cost to get states and efile both state and federal.

Great shop vac with no cord
on December 31, 2019
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
This replaced an old shop vac I've had that was corded. Since it was battery-powered I thought it might not have the same strength but it does. And not having a cord make it so easy to use, as you just wheel it around or when you need to move it there is a handle you can use to pick it up.
The only thing I would say is an issue, is that its pretty heavy. I have no problem carrying it around including when I was vacuuming the stairs, but it's not like the little hand-carry vacuums.
For me, I have another vacuum that was used around the house, that I'm also going to stop using as this has more power and is easy to carry. So not only is it good for a shop vac but really can replace the vacuum you use.

Pixelbook Go is the Chromebook that goes anywhere, then keeps going. It's barely 2 pounds* and just 13mm thin. So whether you're collaborating on a Google Doc in a cafe, catching up on emails during a flight, or watching movies while on vacation, you can do more on the go.*Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.

Nice Hardware with mediocre OS
on November 23, 2019
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
The laptop hardware is very slick, it's thin and feels really sturdy, but also portable. You also get a nice screen that is also a touch screen. And the battery life is amazing as well, even when using the laptop to watch videos.
The setup is easy too, but when you start using ChromeOS that's where the Pixelbook starts to feel limited. It's pretty much like running Chrome on a Windows PC, but you can only browse the web. You have the ability to run Android apps, but most that I tried just don't look good as Andriod for tablet never took off and many don't work. If you're an advanced user you can install Linux apps which makes the laptop more useful, but most people won't do this.
If you are heavily a google user and don't need to do more then use a web browser, this may be for you. For most people though I would recommend either going with an iPad or a Windows PC that generally will give you more than the Pixlebook Go due to the limits of the OS currently.
The hardware is nice, and with improvements to Chrome OS maybe this will be a decent laptop down the road, but for now, there are better options.

Just a cordless landline phone
on November 5, 2019
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
If all you want is a cordless landline phone, then this might be good, but if you're looking at the description and thinking this will be a phone to use with Alexa you'll be disappointed. The app is poor, and after you connect it still asks you to find the device each time. The phone itself only has one button for Alexa, and you cannot call from the contacts. Considering all the information about "Alexa" you'd expect to be able to do more then you actually can. You're better off just getting an actual Alexa device, or buying a regular cordless phone.

Best software for editing videos at home
on November 3, 2019
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
I've tried multiple editing software to do some simple edits to videos, and premiere is the one I would recommend if you're doing some simple edits at home. Only iMovie is as simple to use, but if you have a Windows PC then go with premiere.
The only thing is if you have an older version, there doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade so I would continue using that. But if you're looking for something for simple video editing then this is it.

Decent case but a little slippery
on November 3, 2019
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
The case fits the iPhone well and is easy to put on. It's light and overall seems good but with the rounded edges, it's easy to slip out of your hands. I've not dropped the phone yet but it does seem it will protect it as they advertise.

4K Ultra HDTV from Sony

Will this Bose work with the 4K ultra TV's? I was thinking about buying a Sony XBR65X850B for my living room but I am not sure if this system is compatible with the TV.
Yes, it works no problem with my 4k Sony TV, though I have not tried to plug a 4k item into the Boss and have it go to the TV. For the setup you just have one HDMI connect to the Boss system and it plays the audit out to it, you can use the HDMI input on your TV and don't need to go through the system, so even if the 4K item needs to be input to the TV, you can still use this.
