Small device - great functionality
on November 26, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
I sometimes forget to bring my charging equipment when I go on the road so I end up purchasing another cord or Apple Watch charger to add to my collection. This 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger is the perfect solution for me. I keep it in my suitcase so I never forget to bring it with me. It charges my iPhone and Apple watch. It's super-compact as the device folds out to allow charging for the phone and watch.
Please note the Apple Watch charger does not come with this device. You have to put your existing apple watch charging cord/disc into the device. My watch charging cord/disc fit perfectly in the flip-up circle and the cord wraps around the base and plugs into the other half of the device. The charging device does come with an extra USB C cable. One end plugs into the charging device and the other end plugs into either your charging cube or a USB C connection next to a hotel bed.
I found that charging time for this device was about the same that I see with any other magnetic charger for my phone and watch.
This charging device is light and can be packed in a small corner of your luggage. It's a great solution for road trips.

Great quality video - day or night
on October 21, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
We recently moved into a new home with a three car garage. We have one large garage door and a single car garage door. We have a lot of expensive tools in our garage so we wanted an extra level of security by adding a video camera in our garage. I had the last generation Chamberlain video camera in our previous home and was impressed with the quality of the video. I find the quality of this next generation camera to be even better. What is really impressive is how well the night vision capability is for this camera. With no light in the garage, you can still see things clearly on your phone or laptop by way of the dynamic range of this camera.
The camera has video and two-way audio capability. I don't see us using this feature but it is there if needed for people who want it. You can turn this feature off if you don't want it. The app is good as it is pretty intuitive for most of the features you need to access. It might take a few days to master all of the capabilities that you will use.
Like other types of video-enabled devices such as doorbells, there is some latency when it comes to video an audio for this device (maybe 2-3 seconds). Hopefully that will be fixed in the future.
This is a great camera that provides quality video during the day or night.

Excellent video quality & security features
on October 21, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
We recently moved into a new home with a three car garage. We have one large garage door and a single car garage door. We researched the market for a video-enabled garage door opener. With the popularity of front doorbell cameras, it is a logical next step to have a video camera for your garage door. Chamberlain has developed a quality device which checks off all of the boxes when it comes to video monitoring, safety and security.
I have used a Chamberlain video camera in our previous home and was impressed with the quality of the video. I find the quality of the video on this video keypad to be excellent as well. It took a couple of attempts for me to synch the keypad code with my Chamberlain garage door opener but when it was synched it operates properly every time.
We like the customized key code options for friends or family who need to access our garage when we are away. Like other types of video-enabled devices such as doorbells, there is some latency when it comes to video an audio for this device (maybe 2-3 seconds). Hopefully that will be fixed in the future.
The one design concern I have is how well the keypad will hold up to the elements without a cover. I wish they could have designed a cover for the keypad part of the device. We live in Arizona and the sun, heat and dust will likely do a lot of damage over the years. The same could be said for the cold winters of Minnesota as the keypad will get encrusted with ice and snow.
All-in-all this is a quality device and I'm sure it will become another must-have device for home security in the years ahead.

Quality manufacturing - great coffee
on October 21, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
This is a premium coffee maker. It's very heavy and clearly built with quality materials. We had to replace our old coffee maker and decided to step up to the next level with this Cafe coffee maker. We selected the stainless steel version which matches the rest of our kitchen appliances. The grind mechanism was much quieter than we expected. We love the large water reservoir which is easy to fill whenever you need to. Cleanup is easy as there aren't a lot of small parts to worry about.
We really like the customizable brewing features. These include the temperature control as well as the brew strength. For people who like a strong (or weak) cup of coffee - this is perfect for you. My wife also likes the single cup option for when she needs a cup of coffee in the middle of the day. We don't use the WiFi feature. I suppose every manufacturer feels the need to build WiFi-enabled products in this day and age, but I don't see the need for this feature in a coffee maker.
What we didn't expect was the height of the coffee maker. It does fit below our upper cabinets but only by a couple of inches. You will have to find an area of your kitchen where the coffee maker can be placed correctly.
We are very happy with this coffee maker. It has become an important and well-designed appliance in our kitchen.

The Worx 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors are designed to do everything traditional handheld scissors can—and more. Powered by a rechargeable 4V Max Lithium battery, this cutting tool spins a rotating blade that can cut through various materials up to ¼” thick—including tough plastic packaging, cardboard, fabric, rubber, leather, and wrapping paper. Its self-sharpening blade keeps the edges fine to deliver a precise cut with every use. While the cutting capabilities are powerful, the ZipSnip is optimized for safety. The safety switch works in conjunction with the trigger to prevent the blade from moving unintentionally. The blade guard also blocks the sharp edge to prevent accidental cuts. The cutting tool weighs only .86 lbs. and features a textured GRIPZONE handle to optimize comfort during extended projects. And with its compact and cordless design, the ZipSnip can be conveniently maneuvered in the home, kitchen, garage, and garden. While the battery maintains its charge for several months, it can be recharged in just a few hours using the included charger—so you’ll always have a cutting tool ready to use.

I thought I didn't need this until I did!
on October 12, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
I wasn't sure I was going to need an electric scissors but now I'm really glad I have this. I do a lot of DIY projects around our home. I'm constantly spending time working at the tool bench fussing with things that need to be built or fixed. The WORX 4V Cordless Electric Scissors is proving to be a very versatile tool on my toolbench.
Some of the demos for this product illustrate how easy it is to cut through cardboard but I have a utility knife for that task. What I find it useful for is the ability to cut through leather, fabric and even things like wrapping paper cleanly and efficiently. Since it's cordless, I can keep it on the shelf near my workbench and grab it when I need to snip something off or trim something to provide a finished look.
The thickness limit is 1/4" so it's not a cutting tool for tile or other hard materials. My wife saw me using it yesterday and now I have to share it with her since she is finding uses for it as well.
I've seen examples of electric scissors going back 10 or 20 years ago. This is basically the same concept but the big difference is that it is cordless with a lithium battery that can last for several hours.

Works like a professional cleaning machine
on August 30, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
We have a combination of tile flooring and wood flooring throughout our home so we either have to use a mop or Swiffer to clean them. We have owned several different floor cleaners throughout the years. Some were "old school" mops and Swiffers. Many had cords and some were cordless. I consider all of these devices pretty useless after we tried our new Tineco Pro S6. This is a quality machine. You can use it just like a vacuum cleaner. The fresh water provides a continuous stream of clean water which eliminates the need for rinsing your mop out or changing out your pad.
The machine does especially well on tile floor. We purchased our home this year but it is 15 years old. The porcelain tile floor has a lot of dirt inside the pits and grooves of the tile. The Tineco roller pad really gets inside these area to do a great job of cleaning the floor. There was a noticeable difference after the very first pass with the Tineco machine. A second pass was even better.
Most of the cleanup is done by the machine itself. The rest can be done with soap and water.
A full charge lasts for the entire need for 2,500 sq ft of tile. That was impressive.
This machine is clearly more expensive than other alternatives on the market but I believe the extra expense is worth it as this cleans like a professional machine.

Quality mount for a fair price
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
I believe this is my 5th Sanus TV mount. Every time I move, I have to leave the mounts behind and purchase a new mount in my new home. I’ve been very impressed with Sanus throughout the years. I believe they manufacture a quality TV mount for a fair price.
This mount is a full motion mount that I mounted a 75” TV. I like the full motion feature as it allows you to tell the TV as well as move the TV from left to right to accommodate the viewing angle for anyone in the room.
The installation instructions that Sanus provides are simple and intuitive. They also include several different sized bolts to accommodate the various sizes from different TV manufacturers. They also include a level to make sure that the mount is installed properly. I have used some of their competitor products over the years and don’t believe they come close to the customer experience in quality that Sanus delivers.
I would recommend this TV mount to anyone who is in the market for a quality mount for a fair price.

Innovative design - form meets function
on July 3, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
I own many Dyson products including vacuums, air purifiers, hair dryers, etc. I was intrigued to see that Dyson had extended their product line into innovative lighting devices.
The first thing that struck me is the contemporary design of the task light. But the engineering of the light is what sets this apart from any other task light I've ever owned. The light arm enables you to direct the light to any specific spot you need. When you move the light in any direction I was impressed how exact it was. The range of motion and the stability of the task light are are beyond impressive.
Next was the ability for the task light to automatically adjust to the lighting condition of the room. This includes daytime/night environments. Just in the first few days of use, the light is learning how bright we want it to illuminate.
You can configure some aspects of the task light through an app but I find that manufactures over extend themselves on the need for an app. All of the controls are on the lamp itself - I don't need another app on my phone to configure the light illumination to a granular level beyond what I can do on the physical light controls. If someone is into that, and wants to have another app on the phone, you will love this aspect as well.
I'm confident this Dyson product will perform just as well as my other products for many years to come. I highly recommend this task light if you are looking for a high-end contemporary addition to your home or office.

Nice features - quality fridge
on June 2, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
We needed a mini fridge for the overflow from our regular fridge. The small cube mini fridges are too small for our needs for the 4.4 Cu Ft size was perfect for us.
Some of the key features which make this a nice fridge are the glass shelves (many mini fridges have wire shelves) and adequate space in the door for 18 12 oz cans of soda. There is also a light which most mini fridges don't have. We also like the adjustable feet so the fridge can sit level on the floor.
Other features include a temperature control (from 32 to 50 degrees). The back is flat unlike many mini fridges so it can be placed close to a wall. You can also reverse the direction of the door which is generally standard in most (not all) mini fridges.
We have had good luck with most Insignia products. It's the house brand of Best Buy but I believe they take care to source good suppliers for Insignia products.
The last mini fridge (from a large, name brand provider) only lasted two years so we are counting on this to last for many years into the future.

Elegant device with high-quality sound
on March 19, 2023
Posted by: Nabob
I have a Bowers & Wilkins center speaker for my home entertainment system. It produces a superior sound to any other systems I tested in their price range. I was interested in what they could produce in the form of a high-end ear bud. They didn't disappoint.
From the unboxing experience, which is excellent (clearly inspired by Apple's packaging) to the look and feel of these ear buds I have to say I'm impressed. Like most high-end products they offer multiple sizes for the rubber ear piece. The clear difference in this product is the quality of sound versus other devices in this price range. They are heavier than some earbuds but I'm willing to trade that off for better sound quality and a five hour battery life. Despite their weight, they still sit comfortably in my ears.
It took a couple of attempts to connect the device via Bluetooth, but it finally connected and I was up and running. The quality on phone calls is also superior not only on my end but people have commented how clear my voice is on their end of the call.
The only downside I have with the devices is they are hard to pull out of the charging dock. The magnetic charging points hold them too tight into the charging dock. Since the ear buds are smooth, it is hard to pull them out. I suggest for the next iteration a small flare on the outside of the ear bud so you can pull them out with greater ease.
