Great shaver
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I have a much older, similar version of this shaver that I replaced with this one. This one feels much more "powerful" and leaves me with a very clean shave. The new "stubble guard" is a neat feature I may use more depending on my mood.
A couple of downsides is, compared to my older model, there aren't any "extras". The stubble guard is all that's extra. There's no carry case for travel. There are no cleaning brushes for brushing out the hair from the crevasses inside the razor. Luckily, I have these things from my old model but this new one feels a little more bare bones because of it.
Overall, though, it's a razor. It does it's job and does it well. If you need a shaver, get it.

Good sound in a small package
on March 22, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I'm pretty pleased with this speaker. I only have 1 so I can't vouch for how cool this would be if you connected multiple speakers but 1 sounds pretty good. I could even say there might be TOO much bass. But that could just be some equalizer settings I need to play around with still.
Battery seems pretty decent but I haven't actually drained it because it's pretty easy to connect to any USB power source (wall plug or battery brick) most of the time. If you're going to use it all day, you might run into an issue but for a handful of hours, you shouldn't have any issues with battery.
The extra frills are fine too. The lights are neat. There are a bunch of different settings so you can setup the color of the lights and add strobes and such. I enjoyed the lights even though they don't add anything to being a speaker. The drum kit feature is actually pretty neat too, but I can't see myself ever actually using it beyond the little bit of testing I did for this review. You are able to customize the sound for each side of the speaker so if you are a creative individual, you might be able to make some pretty cool music to accompany your tunes.
Overall, this speaker is pretty nice. The music sounds good and that's the important part. It was easy to connect to my phone and the few extra bells and whistles are kind of neat to make it stand out from the rest of the speakers out there.

Big machine suction power*. But with cord-free versatility. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute cord-free vacuum has a 40% bigger bin than the previous V8 Absolute and up to 40 minutes of fade-free power with the Soft roller cleaner head (in Suction mode I). The new torque drive cleaner head removes more dust from carpets. The soft roller cleaner head removes fine dust and large debris from hard floors.

A great update to an already great vacuum
on March 6, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
We got a V8 animal vacuum last yea. I thought it would be for more quick tasks and we'd continue to use our full sized upright Dyson vacuum for full vacuum jobs. We don't use the full sized upright for much anymore. That's how much we liked the V8.
I figured this V10 would be a pretty small update. A little more battery. A little more power. Same great vacuum. Now I feel like this is a FANTASTIC upgrade to an already fantastic series of vacuums.
I was correct about the extra power and suction. You can feel it's a more powerful vacuum than the previous version. Battery power (as in how long a charge lasts) doesn't feel like it's changed all that much. Which is pretty good considering the boost to suction power. To accomplish this without sacrificing more battery capacity is pretty great. They've also added an extra middle setting. You can use the MAX suction mode (which is what I usually keep it on) or you have 2 steps below that. The old version used to only have MAX and then.. not MAX.
One of my biggest complaints about the V8 was that the recharging port was on the handle where you were holding. While vacuuming, you'd sometimes get a tiny "jolt" in your hand. It wasn't painful. It just felt weird when it happened. Kind of like a static shock. They must have gotten enough complaints about this because they've moved the charging port to the other side and modified their wall mount to handle this. No more shocks!
Another minor complaint about the V8 was the emptying process. It wasn't difficult at all, but I never got "used to" the steps involved. I always tried to close the lid at the wrong time. With pets, the tank always filled up with a lot of hair so you'd usually have to reach in with your fingers to pull all of the stuff that was wrapped around. The new eject process is much more streamlined in my opinion. It's like a pump action shotgun now. The tank moves out completely so you don't have to reach in to get any extra stuff out as much anymore. Then when you pull the tank back in, it's ready to go!
All in all, I already thought the Dyson Stick vacuums were really nice and this version seems to have fixed all the tiny little issues with the previous model. I'd recommend them to anyone if it's in your budget and you want a nice and easy to use vacuum that does a really good job.

Strange feeling but sound decent
on February 19, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
So far, after a week or so of use, these headphones have proven to be "OK". I wouldn't say they're great or bad. They're just OK.
Starting with sound, they sound pretty good. I'm no audiophile but these sound pretty good. On par with other totally wireless headphones I've used. I mostly listen to podcasts, though, so it's not hard to sound decent enough for that. I've had a single instance where one of the headphones kind of crackled a little bit but that honestly could have just been what I was listening to. It was very subtle. These have a slight delay in audio which might be a little better than my other paid of totally wireless headphones but is still noticeable. Watching videos can be annoying. Playing games, you'll hear the delay in the audio. It's not huge but it's noticeable so if you're looking for no delay, steer clear or maybe a firmware update can fix this in the future? Overall, decent sound (to me).
Battery is pretty nice for my needs. I only use these for about an hour to an hour and a half at a time every day at the gym so I can't really speak for how long a single session can last but I've never run into any issues with battery life. It has been about a week and I charged them (as in the charger case) for the first time today. The case is really nice as it has indicators for battery life! My only other pair of completely wireless headphones (Sony) does not have ANY indicator as to how the battery life in the case is doing so this is a very welcome change for me. Whenever you open or close the case, you'll see a nice green light on the bottom when things are ok. This changed to amber and after my last use so I knew it was time to charge. Take notes, other companies making wireless headphones with charger cases!
The app for connecting (for the first time) and controlling the headphones audio is pretty nice. Easy to use. A handful of decent features. I haven't used many of them but if you need to tweak things like the equalizer or sidetone (so you can hear yourself talk), it's not hard to find these options.
The fit. Probably the only reason I wouldn't give these 5 stars is the fit. I'm using these at the gym and to listen to podcasts that occasionally make me smile or laugh. This is relevant because when I smile or laugh, I now know the shape of my ear changes slightly and either the sound changes because the seal is partially broken or it feels like one of them is going to fall out. There's no wings or ear hooks or anything to keep these in your ear. The stock earbuds felt very loose in my ears so I switched to the large ones pretty quickly. These feel snug but they feel like they're suctioning into my ear so if that suction is broken, it feels like they're going to fall out. I haven't had a lot of mishaps, but I have had one of them fall out once on me at the gym. This may be something you don't have to worry about if you're not using them at the gym as sweat COULD be a part of the issue. I will probably continue to test the other side buds and see if I can get a fit that really works. But this seems to be one of the only downsides for me.
Connection is overall pretty good. As stated previously, there's a slight delay but this isn't different from my other set of totally wireless headphones so I'm not sure if it's just always the case. The buds are easy to connect for the first time through the app and they automatically connect to your phone when take them out of the case. There's even an option that pauses your media on your phone when you remove one of the headphones and resumes it when you replace it. I have had occasional drops in one ear that are very quick and not very annoying. The incredibly strange thing I've seen is, at the EXACT same place in the gym, the same ear drops completely until I move away from that spot. It's a very small spot but it's VERY consistent. It happens to be right at the water fountain so my ear drops for the entire time I'm getting a drink and comes back as soon as I move away again. Really strange.
Overall, these are pretty good headphones. The sound is good enough for me. The charger is really nice and gives me status updates on the battery level before my headphones die on me in the middle of a workout (looking at you, Sony). The app is good and the overall connection is pretty stable. There are a few downsides that I've noticed in the fit, but hopefully some testing and using different buds can fix this. I'd say pick em up if they're in your budget.

Situationally great
on December 12, 2017
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
This Pixelbook could be really great for you if you need specific, limited things.
For starters, the look and feel of the computer are pretty good. Not Apple caliber stuff or anything, but it doesn't feel like a hunk of plastic either. It feels sturdy and heavy and like it's a real computer. One large downside for me is the bezel on the screen seems VERY large. I'm not sure if I'm just used to looking at screens that are a lot less lacking in the bezel department or if this one just happens to be that huge. My MacBook Pro and XPS 13 both have much slimmer, nicer bezels around their screen, though. Not a huge fan.
The one time the larger bezel did come in handy, a little bit, was when folding into "tablet mode". Having an area for your fingers to rest without actually resting on the screen is nice. That's where tablet mode niceness stops, though. This isn't a light machine. For a laptop, it's a pretty standard weight. When sitting it in my lap to use it like a normal laptop computer, it feels fine. When you fold it into tablet mode and have to hold it with one hand while touching the screen with the other, it feels very heavy. I wouldn't recommend this pretty much ever. Instead, you can fold the keyboard to face down and rest it on your lap. This worked well for me in the limited time I used "tablet mode". A minor issue with using it this way is, although I'm sure the keyboard is disabled, you press the keys a lot on the bottom of the system and it feels a little weird.
The main reason you'll want to use tablet mode is one of the nicer features for me. You can install Android applications and use them like you were on a tablet. I was able to install Hearthstone from the Amazon App Store (you need to enabled developer mode to install the Amazon App Store, but it isn't a difficult task) and it ran really well with the keyboard flipped underneath while using touch to control things. I didn't test many other android apps but you have access to the main Google Play store out of the box and any "unsigned" applications can be installed if you turn on developer mode. For a person who almost exclusively uses Apple products, having a device that runs Android applications (and is fast enough to run most anything you throw at it) is very nice for me. I'm not sure how useful it is if you already have a nice Android phone or tablet, though.
The ChromeOS is very limiting for me and the reason why I say this product is situationally great. The machine runs well and if you're only really using it to check mail, browse the internet, maybe touch up some photos (I haven't tested connecting a camera to it, but it is supposed to support them). ChromeOS is essentially just a Chrome web browser as the entire operating system (with some added bells and whistles that help store files and connect peripherals). Basically, if you need to run Android applications and almost exclusively use websites that you can access from any browser, this is probably a good fit for you. If you need to run Windows or Mac applications, you're SOL. I may attempt to install Linux on mine.
Bottom line, this is a well built machine that seems fast enough for any task you possible COULD throw at it, but most of the tasks you can throw at it aren't going to be super intensive as they will probably be web applications and android apps. If you're already familiar with ChromeOS and this is what you're looking for, I'd recommend this system.

Pretty nice quality with a couple of downsides
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
These cameras were quite easy to setup. The box plugs into your router and you sync the cameras pretty easily and you're done. The app on your phone updates the base station and the cameras for you and then you're ready to go! Took maybe 20 minutes start to finish to have them all set up and receive video on my phone.
The wall mounts included are very nice. They're pretty small and they just magnetically connect to the back of the cameras. The magnets are REALLY strong so once you get them in place, you shouldn't have to worry about them moving at all. You can also use a standard camera mount to screw them into.
Battery life is pretty ok. On the best quality, lowest battery life setting, I got few days of battery. Dropping the quality to the more optimized settings seems to help quite a bit too. I prefer to plug in my cameras so I don't have to worry about them at all. This is where one of the downsides come in. The micro USB plug is buried in a pretty deep hole so you need to get a cable with a very small profile plug or it won't fit. I bought some really long cables and had to send them back because they didn't fit.
Video quality is good indoors. The night vision is pretty nice but the infrared lights are noticeable. It was actually an issue with our cat who wanted to attach the camera because of the lights when it was dark. So mount your camera high instead of putting it on a fireplace mantle! The app gives you options to automatically record when it detects motion or audio and you can either record for the amount of time that is detected or from 10-300 seconds. If you are unable to mount your camera outside, you probably won't have a lot of luck viewing your outdoors. The camera automatically focuses on the screen and motion detection doesn't work at all when it's viewing through the screen. Night vision doesn't work at all when pointing at glass for obvious reasons so if you need to watch your outside, you should just mount the camera outside.
I can't comment too much on the monthly costs as I'm using the free tier plan. I believe I get 2 weeks of recording storage. Not a whole lot more. They have larger tiers that allow for more recording storage. They also have "CVR" plans that do some continuous recording that you can scrub through on your app. That costs at least $100/yr for 2 weeks of CVR recording per camera. I don't think that's crazy so it might be good for you. I wish there was an option like the Logi Circle where you get 1 day of CVR for free.
Overall, a good set of cameras that have a couple of drawbacks that may or may not matter to you.

Pretty nice with a couple of minor annoyances
on October 31, 2017
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I've tested a lot of headphones but have never had the privilege of testing out some completely wire-free ear buds. I'm not disappointed with these at all. Aside from a couple of minor annoyances, they're really nice headphones.
The sound is great. I really don't have a lot more to say than that. For completely wireless headphones, they sound really nice. The noise cancelation also works pretty well and the app lets you adjust the "type" of noise cancelation you want. You can go for the "I don't want to hear anything but my music" setting (which is default) or you can go for a more of a "I like my music, but I want to know if someone is talking to me" setting. I've used these in the gym a lot and they do a pretty good job of blocking out the loud music playing at the gym even when I'm just listening to a podcast that's almost all talking.
That said, the one downside I found with the noise cancelation is that is makes the slight slippage that happens very noticeable. As I said, I use these in the gym a lot so it only makes sense that they move around a little bit. And I'm not saying anything bad about the fit. Both the small and large buds fit well (the large seem to fit me a little better, though) and I've never had one fall out of my ear. The issue is just that they do move around a little bit in your ear and, with the noise cancelation doing such a good job, when they move to allow the tiniest bit of air through, it's a lot more pronounced than other headsets that don't have noise cancelation. This is a minor annoyance. I have to occasionally readjust them in a quick second.
Battery life is another minor annoyance. The buds are supposed to last 3 hours or (with the battery pack charging case) 9 hours. This is a far cry from their closest competition. It's a minor annoyance for me because I don't have an issue charging them every couple of days. You might not love that. An additional note on charging, my desktop computer that I'm usually able to charge my phone or portable battery packs while in standby mode, apparently can't charge the case for these things. My initial review was going to be pretty bad because I was having a lot of trouble with them keeping a charge. It wasn't until I searched through the little instruction pamphlet that I saw there was a charging indicator light on the case (you wouldn't notice it there unless you were looking for it) and that's when I discovered that my PC wasn't charging them. They charged when I plugged them into one of my portable battery packs, though. This was another one of the minor annoyances. I felt like the indicators on the headsets and case were pretty cryptic and took some time to just "figure out". After I got things charged, I'm much happier. And one last minor annoyance while talking about charging. The charging case for these is gigantic. Not a fan at all. I have to remove the buds from the case in my car on the way into the gym and just hold them in my hand or put them in early because there's no way I'm lugging around the huge carry case/charger with me.
End of the day, I'd recommend these if you're find with the handful of minor annoyances they bring. They aren't deal breakers for me, but they might not sit as well with you. So just consider them when making a decision. Since most of my devices are Apple, I'd probably recommend the AirPods to myself but that's mainly just because I don't care as much about the noise cancelation.

Another great blender from Ninja
on October 25, 2017
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I've liked Ninja blenders for quite some time because they're pretty heavy duty machines that do a great job but at a consumers price point. This one is another example. If you're looking for a blender to knock out some smoothies or frozen drinks, it'll take care of it. Looking for something to make for dinner? There's a pretty nice recipe book with a lot of suggestions. I, personally, really like it. My favorite thing is definitely the "auto wash" setting. Just needs a little bit of warm water and it cleans itself! My biggest gripe with most blenders is definitely cleaning up when you're done, so this is a super positive for me.
So, bottom line, if you want a GOOD blender and this is in your budget, I'd recommend it. It does a lot of things (possibly replacing your food processor as well) and is a breeze to clean up.

Neat
on October 5, 2017
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
AR is the new "thing"! With the new AR frameworks in both Apple and Google operating systems, AR is really picking up steam. This little cube actually does some neat things even if it has some drawbacks.
For starters, the registration code thing is kind of weird and stupid. It's a physical thing but the app requires you to "register" it like you were proving you purchased it. I found this off-putting and would love to be informed on what the point was.
Another drawback is the lack of "free" apps. Testing this thing was tough to do because all of the apps recommended by the starter websites cost money. Some as much as $50. Most around the $2-5 range. I found the "Th!ngs" app which is a demo app with a bunch of little mini "things" to play with. Even if it was a little limited in functionality, it was a pretty good demonstration of what can be done with the cube.
Another small issue makes a lot of sense because you're holding this thing in your hands. The marks all over the cube are for your camera to read to find out how the cubs is sitting and where to draw stuff, so you will occasionally block some of the things the camera needs to see and the fun little thing disappears on you. Not much you can do about this as you naturally want to move the cube in your hand as it appears you're holding something else.
There's 2 ways to use this cube. You can use "VR Mode" with the merge goggles or just regular old AR mode with the included packaging/phone stand. I used the VR mode and would recommend this but AR mode is cool too. Depending on the apps your using, you hold the cube in your hand and your phone, with the camera on, tracks it and renders cool stuff on top of it. So it usually looks like you're holding something else in your hand. In AR mode, when you're looking through the phone on a stand, it has an OK effect. In VR Mode, when your phone is inside a pair of goggles, it does a decent job of making you feel like you're really holding that thing. I didn't try any of the paid apps but I gave all of the demos a shot in Th!ngs and some of these really showcase what can be done.
Bottom line, I think it's a neat little toy. Would work well for kids. If you have a GearVR or Google Cardboard compatible goggles, it's really cool to play with in VR mode.

They're OK if you can't afford "real" VR
on October 5, 2017
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I have an Oculus Rift and a PSVR already but I've always been interested in the whole "mobile" VR thing. These googles do an OK job of recreating what "real" VR is like. Not great. Not terrible. Just OK.
For starters, my iPhone 6S Plus was probably too large. It was able to stretch itself into the slot but it felt like it needed to be pressed down a smidge more than it would allow without locking the device (which would require you to completely remove the phone again to unlock the device). It was serviceable but I feel like a smaller phone would probably fit and work a little better. The google cardboard app is used to set things up. There's an included code you need to scan that's at the very back of one of the little pamphlets. I feel like this should have been it's own card and right up front as it's one of the first things you need. If you don't set up your viewer correctly, the buttons on top probably won't work.
The demo app was neat but just a demo. The big issue I had, coming from much higher end VR was the tracking rate. When you moved your head to look around, there was a lot of noticeable stuttering. This could be a result of an older phone, and I'm sure milage will vary by device. The frame rate was not bad at all, though. Again, it will vary by your device but the frame rate on my 2 year old phone was just fine when I wasn't moving my head around. This is the biggest issue that could cause motion sickness so it was nice that the apps were optimized enough.
Heat and battery was a little bit of an issue. You're encasing your phone in a pretty tight space and then running a graphically intensive application. This kills the battery fast and removing my phone from the goggles, you can feel the heat. I wouldn't recommend using this for extended periods of time without testing how hot things get first.
Overall, it's a decent VR device if your phone is good enough to run at a reasonable frame rate. This is novelty VR. You'll want a Rift, Vive or PSVR if you want REAL VR.

Is there a Bluetooth speaker in the hoverboard?
You can connect to your phone's bluetooth to play music through the board. The speaker does not have a lot of bass to it so it just sound alright.

Does this board have settings for beginners etc like other boards from this company?
It has Beginner, Intermediate and Expert settings which I assume are the same ones available from other Hover-1 boards while using the same app.

eufy Security Wired 2K Video Doorbell. 2K Resolution, 5-Day Continuous Video Recording (CVR) on Secure Local Storage, No Monthly Fees, Human Detection, 2-way Audio, and Free Wireless Chime included.
Can you use an existing traditional doorbell chime with this, or do you have to use the eufy door chime?
I haven't tried to use my existing chime. The instructions do say that the doorbell will probably function but might work sporadically unless you bridge your current chime to give extra power to the doorbell. This disables your current chime so, I would say, officially, you should use the eufy chime if you want your doorbell cam to work reliably..

Expand connectivity on your Apple MacBook Pro or Air with this gray HyperDrive DUO seven-in-two USB Type-C hub. Two USB Type-C ports support Power Delivery for charging mobile devices rapidly, while the HDMI output lets you connect a UHD display. This HyperDrive DUO seven-in-two USB Type-C hub has USB Type-A ports and microSD and SD card slots for fast data transfer.
will this work if my MacBook Pro has a Kuzy case on it. The case wraps around the side of the computer right where the hyperdrive will go. Im wondering if the case will prevent the hyper drive from fitting flush or snug to the computer.
It's possible this could fit fine. The included magnetic support grip leaves a bit of a gap if you don't use it so you might be able to use this without that magnetic support and have it fit just fine. Don't quote me on this, though, I just know there's definitely a gap if you don't include the black magnetic support.

Is this Hyperdrive compatible with a (mid) 2015 macbook pro?
I'm pretty sure the 2016 MacBook Pro was the first one to move to all USB-C. To use this device, you need a MacBook that has 2 USB-C ports on the left side. If your device doesn't have USB-C this won't work. If your device has a MagSafe charger, this wouldn't be supported. USB-C only.

Safeguard your home with this Arlo security camera system. Its 4K resolution provides maximum clarity so you don't miss a single detail, and a siren is integrated so you can fend off intruders either remotely or while at home. This Arlo security camera system is weather-resistant, so it's functional rain or shine.
Can you pair Arlo pro 2 cameras with this system as well? We have 2 arlo pro 2 cameras we would like to utilize on the new system if possible.
Yes. The Ultra camera doesn't pair with the old hub but the old cameras will pair with the new one. The upgrade process was quite simple.

Always know what’s happening at your door with the SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro. Its crystal-clear 1080p HD video and 162° field of view give you a clear shot of your property 24/7. Two-way audio lets you hear and speak to unwanted guests (and welcomed ones too) - even when you're not home. Have the SimpliSafe App? The Video Doorbell Pro will send instant alerts whenever someone approaches. And with Smart Person Detection, it can tell the difference between people, vehicles and animals. That means you only get the alerts that matter. Plus, when backed by 24/7 professional monitoring, you’ll have experts who are ready to request emergency dispatch when you need it most. This camera is designed for all weather extremes—so you're still protected in rain and snow. (Compatible with the SimpliSafe Gen 3 security system. Requires Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) and existing wired doorbell setup with mechanical chime and a transformer with 8-24 VAC, 30VA max. Not compatible with digital chimes.)
Does this doorbell allow storage to the local network instead of a cloud server?
This doorbell does not currently allow local network storage. The app functionality is quite bare bones and you actually get zero recording capability unless you upgrade to their $5/mo plan for the camera.

With no wires in the way, Bose SoundSport Wireless Sports Earbuds keep you moving with powerful audio. Perfect for exercise and running with a sweat and weather resistant design and StayHear+ tips designed for comfort and stability.

Are there any other means to charge these earphones than the advertised charging case?
The case that comes with these headphones is just for storage. I do leave my headphones inside the case while I'm charging them, but it's just a standard micro USB cable that plugs in to one of the earbuds to charge.
