The fit of the headphones is good, as you get a lot of different accessories so you can choose what works for you best. I prefer the hook over the ear, so this works well for me. The headphones are pretty small and light, so wearing them is easy. Having the charging case is nice to store them. There is a button on each headphone, and instruction on how to use them, so if you don't need to get out your phone to say pause the music, but the button is hard to push so its easier to use the phone.
When it comes to sound quality, that's where they are just so so. The sound is Ok, the base is kind of weak though you can hear everything else. I would guess your experience may differ depending on the music you listen to. These don't have an app or any equalizer that you could adjust this, which I've seen with other headphones.
Overall these are decent, with a nice design but only OK sound quality.

Great TV with good smart features for the price
on August 13, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
If you're in the market for a lower cost TV with good smart features, then this is the TV for you. If you want a superb picture and color quality, then you'll need to increase your budget and get a higher series Vizio.
The TV has great smart features. Once you turn it on and run through the quick setup, you then have apps built in that you can quickly start streaming. It also allows you to cast just like you would to a Chromecast, and with most apps that stream video having this as a feature, its easy to quickly find things on your phone and get it playing on the TV. The other nice part is that you can mirror iOS devices, which is much harder to find without Apple TV.
The overall design of the TV is nice too, and I like that you can disable to LED in the front. The speakers also work well for a TV.
The main downside of the M series though is that the picture quality, especially the colors, isn't the best. I had the TV beside a tablet playing the same content, and the tablet colors just looked better. The TV colors just look a little washed out, even when trying to go through and adjust the colors.
With that said, this is a really nice TV in the price range for this size TV. The money for what you spend it worth it. If you are looking for a better image in this cost range, I don't think you'll get it. I'm giving it a high rating when considering cost and what you get, but if you take the cost away and only compare picture quality this would be lower. Still a great TV!

Great for typing and gaming but with fewer keys
on July 30, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
I replaced an old cheap keyboard with this one. The purple switches work nice for typing and make it much nicer to type then a cheap keyboard. The software also allows you to customize the colors, but I turn it off after I set it up. You can also customize the keys. It is much smaller so if you have a small space, then this is nice. Since it is connected through USB-C, if you take it somewhere else and have a USB-C cable it will work there too.
Since this is a mini keyboard, it does mean you are missing keys. The F# keys are gone and the arrow plus number pad is gone. The size of the keys is standard, so the reduction is by having fewer keys, which is good so you don't need to get used to small keys. For gaming, if you use the F5 or F8 keys for saving/load you'll now need to do it a different way. For desktop the same for arrow keys. The nice thing though is that the Fn key actually adds these buttons back, and they are pretty intuitive (like FN + 5 is F5). Once you get used to using Fn it's almost the same as having a full-sized keyboard, but it does take some getting used to.
Overall, if you have a larger desk and need to use the keypad, F# keys, or arrow keys, you're probably better off getting a full-sized keyboard. On the other hand, if you're looking to use little space and still have a functional nice keyboard, then I would strongly recommend this.

I use the microphone mostly for zoom calls. I had a headset that I was getting complaints about being too loud, and with this mic, everyone is now OK with me talking. So overall the audio quality is pretty good for all the conference calls being done these days.
With that said, there are a couple of things that are a little odd. First, the controls to mute are at the bottom, and I would prefer that they are at the top so you can quickly see them. Second, there is an option to plug in headphones, and so on a PC, you need to make sure to change the audio out to another device if you don't use them. There is no software, which is good and also bad as you cannot easily adjust the output. Last, this is USB C to USB A, and I'd prefer USB c to USB c, but for compatibility this makes sense.
Overall this is a basic microphone with good audio quality for meetings, so if you have issues with your PC mic (or don't have one) then I would recommend this. However, if your audio input works today there wouldn't be any reason to get this.

This SNOW all-in-one teeth whitening at home system contains up to 75+ worth of treatments for long-term results.

The package comes with the light and the stuff to put on your teeth, and considering it plugs into my phone I went and downloaded the app. Which then tells you to connect, but nothing happens. After a while, I figured out that the app is not for this, and it's only so you can move around while you have the teeth whitening kit in your mouth.
I find it works ok, but nothing overly special, and considering you need a power source its more complicated then it needs to be. Seems like a decent product after that, and while it's odd that it plugs into a phone without an app, at least your not stuck plugged in somewhere.

Overall it is a nice charger that's pretty small. You get everything you need in the package including the plug into the wall.
The problem I have is the same as all the flat chargers. You have to have the phone just in the right spot for it to charge. When you do it works great, but if not you're not charging it. I like the other ones that you sit the phone up, as I feel you get a better chance to charge with those.
The second thing I'd like to see updated is the use of the micro USB. It works, but most things are USB-c so it would be nice that is used instead.
Overall this is a nice small charger that works but could have some improvements.

Perfect for homes with multiple tools or batteries, it charges and stores any two ONEPWR™ batteries so you’re always ready to tackle every mess with a full charge.

I've got 3 batteries between 2 vacumes (shop and the handheld one). They both have their own charger so it's not necessary to get this, but what I do find good about this is that I am able to mount it to the wall and have one spot that I am always charging the batteries.
I don't think its a needed addon on, but it can be worth it if you have multiple vacuums and don't want to keep multiple separate chargers.

I'm comparing this with another battery-operated vacuum I have, and from a performance standpoint it seems the same to me. I mostly have hard surfaces, and it picks everything up.
What I do like about this is the removable batteries and the fact that it comes with 2. So it means you're not going to run out of batteries. The downside is you need to remove it to charge, but I actually prefer this.
Another neat feature is that the long hose can have different attachments on it, so you can use it to say get dust or spider webs that are hard to clean.
I also like the fact that the whole waste bucket comes off so that I can just take that to the trash without the whole vacuum.
Overall I'm using it as a whole house vacuum, and one I can take out to the car or get quick messes up.

Small and quite, with wifi now but no air sensor
on May 15, 2020
Posted by: blahnika
from Stoneham, MA
Installation is easy, comes in a box and you unwrap the filter and off you go. Was a little confusing as the box said the wifi isn’t enabled, but then you get the app and it lets you set it up (must have been an older instruction manual).
I’ve been using it in my home office all week, and it's pretty quiet. I’m actually in the basement so it has freshened up the air. With allergies about to start for me I’m looking forward to being able to breath.
Compared to a lot of other filters I tried that are noisy and usually blow air at you, this is quite on the medium setting, and blows air up so you can put it near you.
The filter will need to be replaced, and with the app it tells you how it's doing (there are indicators on the filter too), and there is a program to have them shipped to you when needed.
The only thing missing for me, which comes with the + model, is a sensor to tell you how the air is and make adjustments. I would expect with something like this that it would be there.

Secure your home with this silver August Wi-Fi Smart Lock.

This August Wi-Fi Smart Lock has an auto-unlock function that automatically undoes the deadbolt when you come home.

haThe install was pretty easy, took about 15 min and would be faster for a 2nd one (and helped once I realized where the QR code was). The setup is easy as it connects through Bluetooth so no jumping to different wifi to get it setup. You also set up the wifi through this, so easy to get that setup as well.
Overall the lock is small and just slightly bigger than a deadbolt. And you can unlock and lock with your hand on the inside, and get alerts when this happens. Plus there is a door open/closed sensor.
Using it is easy on the phone. I have an iPhone and the app works well, including having a widget to unlock/lock quickly. Walk up to the door and press the button and there it goes. Apple home kit is also decent and works well.
The issue I have had so far was with my Alexa devices. It takes forever to get a response, and most the time it says its unavailable. Hopefully, some updates will help fix this, but that was my only issue.
Overall it has been a good experiance and means I can now go outside without my keys.

Will the New Nest Cam wired work in the nest app, that we currently use for are current nest wired cams? That we have had for 2 years now.We sign into the nest app thru google
It does not, you need to use the google home app. Guess the "Nest" part of the name is in the name only.

The Levoit PlasmaPro Smart True HEPA Air Purifier completely refreshes air 5x per hour in a 403 sq ft space or 2x per hour in a 1,007 sq ft space, running with noise levels as low as 24dB. With 3-stage H13 True HEPA filtration, the air purifier filters 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in size and neutralizes household odors such as pet and kitchen smells. HEPASmart Technology filters 99.99% of bacteria and mold, as well as 99.9% of viruses, keeping your home fresh and healthy. PlasmaPro Technology releases negative and positive ions into the air, which then bind with contaminants and break them down into harmless matter. The laser dust sensor scans surrounding air for airborne particles and displays the amount detected on the PM2.5 display. With smart control, you can control air purifier settings no matter where you are, connect to third-party voice assistants, and receive real-time notifications about air quality and filter life.
How often does the filter need to be replaced?
I've had it for 3 weeks and says 95% (the app tells you). Generally from other filters its 6 months, so think this will last the same.
