Great Value - Charges just like a cord
on March 21, 2019
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
We were having problems with our iPhones (6 & 7) not charging when we put the cord in. I read that dirt can get into the charger area of the phone and the connection points don't always connect properly.
This Belkin charger solves that issue by charging wirelessly. I was worried the phone wouldn't charge as fast, but we didn't see any difference with the Belkin. The device has a rubber grip around the ring so the phone stays solidly on top of the charging device.
This is a great device for less than the cost of a new charging cube and wire.

Cord cutting done right
on March 19, 2019
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I have recently cut the cord from my cable provider (ya - the big one that nobody likes). I got a similar antenna for my main TV and this Leaf Supreme Pro is perfect for another TV in the house. The setup was a lot easier than I thought. I only had a problem with the channel finder feature but I suspect that was my TV and not the antenna.
I live about 15 miles from downtown Minneapolis where all of the broadcast towers are located. The picture quality is crystal-clear. There was a major rainstorm that came through last weekend and I was surprised to not see any deterioration in the quality of the picture.
This is a great device for anyone looking to join the party and cut your cable cord!

Iconic look for a great speaker
on March 8, 2019
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
Well I was never a guitar player but I love music and understand the iconic status of a Marshall amp. Stanmore has done an outstanding job of recreating the look and feel of a Marshall amp in the form of a Bluetooth speaker.
From the moment you turn it on and hear the guitar lick notifying you the speaker is now powered up, to turning the dials on the top of the speaker just like on a Marshall amp, the entire look and feel of the Marshall amp is captured.
After I got over how cool it was just to turn on the speaker, I synched the speaker with my phone and played some classic rock. I was very impressed with the quality of sound coming out of this speaker. It enabled a wide range of sound at a low volume and the sound quality improved the more I turned up the volume.
The only downside I have with this is similar to other bluetooth speakers where you are required to download their app (and register) to synch your speaker. I have several bluetooth speaker apps that I have only used once. I wish the manufacturers would just let you synch via your phone or other wireless device. I also tried to use the apps features to control some of the sound levels but they were not working.
This speaker will hold a prominent place in our entertainment room. The only thing that could make this speaker better is if you could turn up the volume to 11!

Excellent Router!

My daughter needed a new router for her new town home. She's a huge fan of streaming services so she needs a reliable and fast connection in all areas of her home.
One of the great features of the MR8300 Max Stream™ AC2200 is the ability to add nodes around your home. I have a similar Linksys node setup in my home and it's the best router/system I've ever had.
This is a quality router. Linksys continues to lead the way on continually innovating better router technology.

We needed a new router for our cabin. With thick walls in the cabin, we had trouble finding a router that could provide a reliable connection throughout the cabin. The ASUS dual-band router gave us an immediate improvement in our speed in all areas of the cabin.
Setup was super-easy and we were able to connect all of our devices within minutes by way of the link with our Alexa device. We now have a smart cabin!

Great device for better sleep & health
on February 3, 2019
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I wanted to get several nights of sleep in before I reviewed this. I'm totally impressed by the level of detail the iFit Sleep Activity tracker provides. It tracks everything including leaving the bed, waking up during the night (to turn over or move), your REM sleep, your heartbeat and more.
Setup was easy as I had it connected via Bluetooth in a minute. Then you put the tracker under your mattress about where your shoulders/chest are and let the tracking app do it's work.
I know I don't get enough sleep but the evidence was worse than I thought. iFit even provides a coaching system to help you improve your sleep score every night.
This is a great device for anyone who wants better health. The app inspires you to sleep better every night.

Premium product
on January 4, 2019
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I've never had a Norelco razor or any rotary razor. I've seen them advertised for over 40 years. I decided to finally try one out and I've been incredibly impressed with how the rotary shaver performs.
This shaver has quality components as it should for this price point. The feel in your hand is excellent and the ergonomics of the device are excellent. The control switches are perfectly positioned and the feel of operating the switches contribute to the perception that this is a quality product.
The feel of rotating shaver blades is excellent and probably better than a traditional foil shaver so I can now understand why rotary shavers are so popular. It almost feels like a ball is rolling over your face as opposed to a foil shaver which can feel like it's cutting through the hair on your face.
The only drawbacks I have with this shaver is having to remove the rotary heads to put in the trimmer and cleaning the heads is not as simple as it looks in the product images. I understand how it might not be feasible to locate a trimmer on a rotary shaver that is permanently positioned. Despite that, Norelco has built a quality shaver with their S9000.
I also really like the carrying case as I do a lot of traveling. The battery seems to stay charged for quite a long time so that is definitely a plus.
If you're looking for a premium rotary shaver, this is an excellent choice for this price point.

Great quality video
on January 1, 2019
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
Dash cameras are very popular in several European countries (especially Russia). I believe dash cams will catch on in popularity in the years ahead. People are investing in smart home technology so the smart car is the next evolution.
I purchased a new car recently and wanted to add video to the vehicle. After looking at the instruction manual, I probably could have gotten through the installation but I decided to have a friend who is a car geek help me install it. I'm glad I did as my vehicle presented to some challenges on where to mount the rear camera.
Once everything was connected, operation the cameras was straightforward I am very impressed with the quality of the video. It is super-crisp and clear. In my cold weather climate, the fog on the rear window presented some problems but the defroster helped to clear things up.
This probably isn't for everyone, but the Vexing V1P Pro offers a great option for a high-quality front & back camera system.

Fast and small
on December 24, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
I've used portable scanners in the past and found them to be clunky and slow. The scan quality wasn't very good either. I need a portable scanner for my work for digitize my documents, invoices and receipts.
I think the Epson WorkForce® ES-65WR is a clear improvement on last generation scanners. The unit is lightweight and documents are scanned very quickly. What really differentiates this unit is the OCR capability. This allows you to take documents and create editable files from what you scanned. This saves countless hours for long legal documents such as lease agreements.
I highly-recommend this unit for anyone who needs a high-quality portable scanner

Unexpected results
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: Nabob
from Minneapolis, MN, USA
Since I've experienced back problems for many years, I've used a styrofoam roller to help stretch my back. It was helpful as I always felt better after I used it. When I saw the HyperIce - Vyper 2.0 Vibrating Fitness Roller, it looked interesting and I decided to try it.
Although the price is more than I what most people probably want to pay, the roller is clearly made with quality materials. It's durable and the quality of the foam material is outstanding. Understanding how to use it was easy and intuitive. I first tried it on the low setting. It took some getting used to as even on the low setting, it really gives you a shake. I started with a few minutes then took a break and tried it again. I was pleasantly surprised on how much it helped to relax my back muscles. I tried it on my thighs and calves and had similarly good results.
My wife tried it as well and it has soon become a regular part of her routine.
This is a quality device. If you can afford it, I definitely recommend it to help relax your tension points. The only problem I had with it is the marketing materials. All of the images show the product being used by beautiful/handsome Millennials. I believe the product can be beneficial for people of most age groups so they should use other demographics in their brochure and product images.
