Powerful Blender - The Vac system really works
on November 28, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I've been making smoothies in my Shark bullet for several years and wanted to move up to a bigger model.
I was skeptical about the vacuum system which takes oxygen out of the blender/vessel so I tried creating a smoothie with and without the vacuum technology. I combined spinach and other veggies along with an apple and strawberries. I split the ingredients into two different batches and made one version with and one without the vacuum technology. I was impressed with the difference between the two versions. The version using the vac was much richer in color than the other non-vac version. I taste-tested it along with my wife and we both thought the vac-version was better.
The other great aspect of the vac system is the smoothie maintains a better consistency when refrigerating it overnight. I only had to shake up the container the next day rather than blend it again. This was one of my biggest frustrations with my old Ninja. You basically had to make and consume what you created as it was never the same after it was in the fridge overnight.
I also like the touchscreen technology. It's intuitive and cleanup is easy if there are any spills on the base unit. Like most blenders, this unit is loud, but clearly has a lot of power. I also don't know why blenders have to have such short power cords.
This unit is packed with power, additional components for smaller batch concoctions and the vacuum technology is a differentiator over other brands. The value built into this Ninja is impressive.

A powerful value

I have a small Ninja blender which is designed for small servings of smoothies and other concoctions. I wanted to try a larger version to make more for friends when the come over.
I've had a lot of blenders over the years. I even had a Blendtec blender which was great, but really expensive and didn't last more than five years. I was impressed with the power of this Ninja blender. The power and features of this blender are similar to high-end blenders but the Ninja sells for a far-more affordable price.
The touchscreen display is the next evolution from the old push button Oster blenders of my youth. The flat screen also makes for easy cleanup when you fill the blender up too much and it spills over!
It's a very powerful machine. It's not quiet, but it does the job quickly. I've also tried frozen drinks which included ice cubes and ice cream. The Ninja made quick work of that and we were testing the drinks in seconds.
This is a great blender...and for the money, I don't see any other blender on the market that can compete with these features at this price.

Versatile Audio Speaker - Quality Sound
on November 13, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I needed a solution for my lower level man cave which offered quality sound and a way to plug in my guitar without having separate speakers for both needs.
Although I knew the dimensions of the speaker before it arrived, I was surprised to see how large and heavy the device was. This isn't going to be knocked over by the cat jumping up on the shelf.
Connecting the speaker to my iPhone and iPad was extremely fast and I was streaming music through the speaker right away. After pumping up the volume I realized how much power this speaker has. It has good quality sound at most ranges which is surprising for the price but I was hoping for a crisper sound in the high range of sound.
This speaker offers connectivity via all the most popular formats.
When I plugged my guitars into the speaker (both electric and acoustic electric) the quality was also good. It misses some of edge of a traditional guitar amp, but I'm ok with that as I can use one device for both needs.
The look of the speaker is modern and my kids especially liked the LED lights when we turned the ambient light in the room down. The speaker glowed.
We plugged a mic into the speaker and my daughter gave it a try. I'm sure the family will be wanting a karaoke night soon.
All in all, this is a quality sound system with a lot of versatility for a reasonable price.

Excellent shaver
on November 9, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I'm writing this on November 9th. I'm 9 days into "Movember" as I'm growing a beard for the first time in my life to help raise awareness for men's health issues. I wanted to get a shaver that can keep my growing amount of facial hair neat and tidy. The Phillips Bodygroom was the perfect choice.
I found the shaver to be very well-balanced. It fits in your hand very comfortably. Trimming my new beard was easy as the shaver didn't pull at all. It was also easy to shave other "man parts."
I like the fact that the shaver is waterproof. You can take it into the shower or rinse it off in the sink.
This is a quality shaving product at an affordable price. I highly-recommend it.

Amazing difference
on November 9, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I couldn't wait to get my new Linksys - Velop AC Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System. I've been suffering with the horrific MediaCom wireless router ever since I moved into a new home. The MediaCom range in our ranch home was terrible. I could barely get a signal past the living room where the router is located.
The packaging for the Velop system is excellent (nicely inspired by Apple). The system is simple, yet elegant. Three devices. One base unit and two nodes which are located around the house.
I downloaded the app and followed the super-easy quickstart instructions. Setup of the base unit was less than five minutes. Each node also took less than five minutes as the app guides you through each step in the process.
I did a test via Speedtest.net in each location where the new Velop system devices were located. I averaged 35 Mps near the MediaCom router and about 15 Mps in the far reaches of the house. Then I did another Speedtest after the Velop system was installed. I was getting 75 Mps average speeds near the base unit of the Velop and 65 Mps near each node. This was an incredible difference.
I was impressed how easy it was to set up the system. Kudos to Linksys for taking high-speed wireless to the next level of performance! Well done!

Solid sound quality and value
on October 30, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I've had a number of wired and wireless headphones over the years. I found the Jaybird Tarah Wireless headphones to have great sound quality for the price.
In my first few workout sessions of using the headphones, the charge seemed to hold well. So far they seem to be water resistant as I worked up a good sweat during my last workout.
Being able to adjust the settings on the sound was a great feature as I like more midrange and high-end than I do a big booming bass.
I also like the options on the size of the earbud. This is a must-have now for earbud-type headphones.
Overall, I like these headphones and would recommend them to anyone looking for wireless headphones.

Still the best
on October 27, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I hesitated to move ahead with Office 365 as I was diligent over the years to hang on to my installation discs for Office and Windows. I wasn't crazy about a $100 annual fee, but when I looked at the benefits of staying current with updates, it started to make a lot more sense financially.
Installation was easy and you are up and running in minutes. I avoid saving documents to the Microsoft 365 Cloud as it is more cumbersome than other cloud solutions.
Office is still the standard for office productivity software.

When function meets cool
on October 22, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I got this keyboard for my son who is an avid PC gamer. He wanted to upgrade his old keyboard and the HP Omen was perfect. The touch & feel of this keyboard is outstanding. It's highly-responsive. The design sets it apart from a typical keyboard, but the functionality is what the real story is here.
What puts this over-the-top is the LED backlight of the keypads. It makes for a very cool gaming experience.
HP got it right on this keyboard. The price is also a value for the quality you get on this.

Stylus Pen - Evolved
on October 19, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I have an iPad 6th Generation and wanted to try a new stylus as my Apple stylus was getting old. This Logitech "Crayon" digital pencil is an evolved version of a tablet pen. I particularly like the flat design of the pen as the Apple pen was round and kept rolling away from me when I needed it. The charge lasts a long time on this pen and it connecting immediately when I started it up.
My only negative is that this pen doesn't do a good job of responding to pressure. With the Apple pen, you could press harder and make a thicker line.

Best gaming mouse ever
on October 3, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I needed my son to help test out this mouse. He is an avid PC gamer and needed a new mouse to replace his Logitech G500 device.
As soon as the G502 was connected, he immediately noticed a difference in responsiveness and usability.
He uses the DPI button frequently to look around the various areas on the screen.
The mouse syncs easily with his Logitech keyboard. I tried one of his games for a couple of hours one night using the new mouse. The feel of the mouse in my hand was very comfortable. It is larger than other gaming mice I've used in the past. It took a bit to get used to but felt very comfortable within about 10 minutes of game play.
The way the mouse/cursor tracks across the screen is very smooth. It's far superior to my non-gaming mouse and even my Mac mouse.
This is an impressive gaming accessory and I believe it is priced fairly for the market.
I highly recommend this device.
