Solid stylus
on October 12, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I've used several different styli over the years since they have been popular. Early versions were bulky and the battery power was poor. The Zagg Pro Stylus is a solid product. It is very lightweight and the battery power has been lasting for an entire day with moderate use.
The device comes with a short charging cord (Type C). The other end plugs into any USB port. It also features a replaceable tip which is nice.
The only negative I have is that it is similar to other styli that I've had. It can be quite slippery but this does have a flat edge on one side of the stylus which helps provide a better grip. A rubber grip near where your fingers go (or nubs) would be preferred.
All-in-all this is a solid product for a decent price.

Updated design

We've had a couple of Keurig coffee machines but our old one was in need of an upgrade. The design of this machine is more contemporary than past versions. This design fits into our kitchen design much better.
The machine produces the same great cup of coffee so nothing has changed there. We're going to use the refillable cup to avoid throwing away small plastic cups each day. The water reservoir seems to be bigger than past models so that is also a plus.
This is a great option if you are looking for a Keurig machine.

Great filtration and easy to install
on September 16, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
We have well water at our home and have been buying 1 gallon bottles of water at the store. It's a waste of plastic but we didn't want to drink directly from our well water. The Filtrete Max is a convenient and compact unit. We tested our water with a home testing kit before and after the installation. We found the water after the installation of the filter to be much higher in quality and much better-tasting.
The installation was easy as it comes with standard connections. Once the bracket is installed under the sink, all you have to do is connect the hoses and you are up and running.
The package contained an offer for text-based messages to remind you to change out the filter but it seems that this program has expired. They should offer this as a value-add since the price of replacement filters is high (as with any filtration system).

For serious coffee lovers!
on September 6, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
We've generally had "every-day" coffee makers in our home for years. From Mr Coffee to Keurig, they have done us well but it was time to try something new. We decided to try the Breville Barista Pro. This is a high-end serious coffee machine similar to what you would find in your local coffee house. The Breville grinds the beans to your desired grind, then produces an amazing cup of coffee, espresso or latte.
Since this is a much more complex machine than the run-of-the-mill machines, we turned to YouTube to find videos that helped us set up the machine. The instruction manual is good, but the videos were extremely helpful for us to watch. There are video bloggers and video review sites which provide great content. After watching 2-3 of the videos we were ready to set up our new Breville Pro. We started with a plain cup of coffee. We found that the factory default settings produced an incredibly rich cup of coffee. There was a clear difference with our old machine. We then moved on to a cup of espresso and also found that to be a wonderful cup just with the factory default settings. Since we are dairy-free in our home, we tried using unsweetened almond milk to make a latte and again, the machine produced a great cup of latte on our first attempt.
We have a lot to explore on the machine with different settings, different beans, grinds, flavors, but we can't wait to experiment.
It's important to note that this machine required an additional level of cleaning and maintenance than a regular machine. There are many parts to clean and maintain as well as a drip basin that needs to be cleaned regularly. We feel like it is a worthwhile use of our time to get a quality level of coffee every day.
This is certainly not a machine for everyone, but for those who take their coffee seriously and find themselves at home more these days due to global pandemics, this is a great investment for something you are going to enjoy every day!

Very interesting information for your home
on August 31, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I live in the Midwest where the air quality is generally good. I was interested to see how our in-home air quality is. The uHoo air quality monitor is a very interesting device. The app download and setup process was simple and I was able to read information within minutes. It takes up to 48 hours to calibrate the readings for air quality once the device is set up.
During the first week of operation we had very hot and humid weather so the device was reading “conditioned” air. When the heat wave passed, we saw a noticiable difference in the reading once the windows were open. As it turns out, there were fires burning in the western states and we were getting smoke coming through our area from fires that were over 1,000 miles away. When the smoke layers blew through our state, the readings for air quality improved.
Our takeaway was that it’s good to have a device that can monitor our air quality. We’re still learning some of the meanings of many of the metrics the device measures but we’re glad we have this device in our home.

Cordless Convenience!
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
We own several Kitchenaid products including their iconic mixer. It's not always easy to pull out the heavy mixer for a small job. This next-gen product from Kitchenaid is perfect for small jobs, soups, puree and more. I've had hand mixers in the past but they always had a cord. This cordless version is great as you no longer have to deal with the cord getting in the way or splashing liquid or other goo on the cord.
This offers multi-speed operation and stainless steel accessories for easy cleanup (even in the dishwasher). The handle is ergonomix and the operation is very intuitive. This is a superior product to less expensive options. You can tell from the look and feel as well as the sound of the motor.
This has become a go-to item for our kitchen. We're going to use it a lot!

Convenient for Apple device users
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I've used several Belkin products in the past. They make a quality product and offer options for Apple device users that go beyond what Apple offers or other approved accessory manufacturers. I have an iPhone, Apple Watch and EarPods but it is not convenient to deal with multiple charging devices, cubes, cords and more to keep everything charged.
This Belkin 3-in-1 charger offers a great solution in a single device. I can charge my phone, my watch and EarPods all in one easy location with a single cord.
You must have the newer generation Apple devices that can charge magnetically so don't purchase this unless you have them, or will be purchasing them in the future.
This is a great product. Highly recommended.

Great, high-quality massage device
on May 10, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
Well I have been blown away at the Theragun PRO. I've had some lower-cost back and neck massage devices in the past, but after just a few minutes using the Theragun, I feel revitalized. They suggest that you just let the Theragun float over you as you have it work on your body parts. That's all you need to do. The Theragun does all of the work.
The entire kit reflects a quality, professional device. The case holds the Theragun, two batteries and the charging station. I've seen some comments on the noise level of previous versions. Although I can't compare it to an older unit, I can say that the noise level is acceptable. It's actually pretty impressive that the noise level is as low as it is since the amount of power and torque generated by the Theragun is high.
I highly-recommend this if you're looking for a high-end device.

Everything old is new again
on April 28, 2020
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I owned at least two Polaroid cameras during my early years. This camera certainly brings back nostalgic memories for me as the look and feel of it is very similar to the original Polaroid cameras. It comes with a USB charger for convenient charging and the neck strap helps when you’re taking it out for a spin to a local event or a party.
For what this is, the camera provides a great bit of nostalgia and it’s a wonderful conversation piece. The biggest downside is the length of time that it takes for photos to develop. The old Poloroids developed in about 60 seconds. These take at least 15 minutes and up to an hour or two for 30 photo to fully develop.
If you want a bit of nostalgia, this is a great device… Just don’t expect it to replace the camera on your cell phone!

Great value

I've never had a soundbar. I've used surround sound solutions over the years but that doesn't always work depending on your room setup.
I selected the Yamha 2.1-Channel Soundbar with 3" Subwoofers with Alexa to provide better-quality sound for my wall-mounted TV. The setup of the soundbar was easy. I was able to connect an HDMI cable to the ARC connection on my TV which enables me to control the sound level with my TV remote. I already have Alexa-enabled devices so it was easy to add the soundbar as a new Alexa device in our home.
The only downside to the setup is how Yamha (and most every other device manufacturer) requires you to download their App to enable the settings on the device. There are way too many device-specific apps these days. I believe you should be able to control it all on your TV screen.
Besides the required App download, I do like the quality of the sound that the device generates. We've been able to enjoy movies with the full effect of the sound bar as well as make adjustments for documentaries where you needed to hear the voice more clearly.
There are a lot of soundbars in the market that cost $500 and up. I believe this Yamha soundbar is a great value for this price range.
