Decent but feels half baked sometimes
on November 21, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
This is my first video doorbell. I recently purchased a home and wanted a decent way to watch the front of my house and figured a video doorbell would be great.
Installation was fairly easy. I somehow guessed the few circuit breakers to cut that killed my doorbell on the first try. Removed my old school doorbell and lined up the bracket. The only real hiccup came with the screws that were included with the doorbell. I'm sure a different screwdriver might have helped but the head of the screw started to strip very quickly before I got the screw all the way in. Maybe pre-drilling some holes would have been good too. I just swapped them out for a couple of drywall screws instead and the rest of the physical install was quick and painless. The molding on my home is also painted white where the doorbell is so this version blends right in. I like the looks of it a lot.
After the physical install, the next part was setting things up in the app. The app is where things start to feel half baked. In the short time I was using the app to create an account and add my doorbell, I experienced more than a couple of straight up crashes. It would crash after a specific step and then it would be fine the next time I tried it and then it would crash again at a later step. It eventually worked itself out. Didn't take too long. The app guides you pretty well (when it's not crashing). It'll show you a QR Code and you let your doorbell see it and you're all linked up. Even with the crashes, setup was pretty quick and easy, but the crashes just gave me a sour taste in my mouth of an app that isn't properly tested or maintained.
Moving on from the app setup to using the app, things still feel very half baked and generic. The loading screen feels very cheap and I don't know if it actually takes a long time to load but it feels longer because of the loading screen. It's very bare bones as far as functions is concerned. I know SimpliSafe also sells cameras for your home but I don't have any. The app works on a SnapChat style 3 page setup where you swipe between them. The from "welcome/dashboard" screen is completely useless. There's a link to setting up your camera or activating monitoring or shopping. That's all. It can easily be in a menu somewhere else. Next screen is a list of your cameras with the ability to add a new one. This screen is fine but it would be nice if it was a nice large preview image of the camera instead of a tiny thumbnail with "Front Door" occupying the rest of the giant white space. Then there's the timetime screen. This screen is also OK... but that OK comes with a HUGE qualifier that I'll talk about next.
The large caveat above is because, this is only a live camera if you don't pay $5/mo. The timeline screen above is almost useless if you don't pay the $5/mo for recording. If you have the standard free plan, you literally can see the timestamp of when something happened and that's all. You'll see "Someone rang the bell at 10:00pm" or "Movement was detected at 9:30am" with no action that can be taken on those things. I understand that people need to make money but even saving things for a few hours would have been really nice. Whenever you get a notification for "movement detected", you'd have to load up the app immediately and check the live camera to see what it was. The notification never loaded the live camera either, it just loads up the timeline so you have an extra step to do in order to see anything. This all probably sounds nitpicky and it probably is but these are all reasons I feel like the doorbell itself is fine but the experience just feels really amateurish and half baked. I would have liked to see more baked in to the free experience because aside from wanting to test out the features that came with the $5/mo plan just for this review, there wasn't a whole lot going on to make me WANT those features. Maybe a still image snapshot when movement is detected so that timeline screen isn't completely useless. I think a lot can be done to improve the user experience, especially for free users.
Now for the $5/mo users, things start to feel a little more complete. Obviously the app crashed again when I entered my credit card information. Once I loaded the app back up, it still said my camera needed to be upgraded and I couldn't find any other options so I decided to hit the "upgrade" button again and this time it didn't take me to the credit card screen, it just activated my account so I guess the credit card info saved before the app crashed. But now that I have the upgraded camera, there's a new button on the live screen that let's you record. The upgraded account let's you save 30 days worth of clips. I'm a little disappointed that the limit for these clips is 1 minute and it's not customizable. This isn't a super big deal because it is just a doorbell but if you were intending on recording something going on in your front yard that's longer than a minute, you better be ready to babysit and keep tapping the record button. I wish the manual recording length was longer and I wish the auto record length was customizable (it will record a full minute every time it detects motion, it would be really nice if it was able to just record for as long as motion is detected). Overall, the $5/mo doesn't seem too outrageous and it does make the doorbell feel a little more feature complete but there's a lot of room for improvement still.
Bottom line, I know a lot of the negative of what I described sounds kind of nitpicky but that's mainly because this isn't a bargain basket doorbell. This doorbell costs about as much as a Nest Hello and much more than Ring doorbell. The actual doorbell itself looks nice and works well, but the frequent app crashes, the barebones functionality and the overall user experience of the app you need to use to interact with it make it hard to justify at this price. I'd probably say I can only recommend this doorbell to people who already have other Simplisafe home security items and are happy with them and looking to add a video doorbell.

Works well in our large living room
on November 21, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I don't think the air quality in our home is noticeably bad or anything but I do have a couple of friends that come over frequently who are allergic to our cats. We spend most of the time in our living room so I set this up in there. The last time friends were over, I would say that I noticed less sneezing and other allergy symptoms than most times but I can't say any sort of scientific study was done here. Just my perception of the evening.
It's a very large unit. The display on the front is really neat for visualizing the air quality. The air in my living room is usually at the highest quality but when I've turned off the machine for a couple of days and turn it back on, the number jumps up a little bit but quickly filters back to great. So as far as their gauge is telling me, it works wonderfully! I'm planning on moving it around to other rooms and seeing what kind of air quality it reports and how quickly it filters it.
The machine was quite easy to set up. There's a quick start card that's very short and doesn't really require much reading. There's stickers on the device that tell you what you need to do before you run it. All that's really required is taking off the back panel and removing the filters from the plastic bags they come in. Put them back in and you're all set. Since my air quality is always pretty good, it's very quiet. You can really feel the air pumping out of the top but it's hard to hear unless it's super quiet in your room and you listen for it. When it cranks into a higher setting, it's noticeable but not bad. You should only need to run it on max if you have some really bad air and you need to filter it quickly. Mine is always set on "auto" and it works really quietly all the time.
If you're in the market for a large air purifier and this fits your budget, I think it's a pretty good device. I can't speak for it clearing up a warehouse with some terrible air quality but if you have a normal home and are worried about the air quality in a specific room, this might be good for you.

Good harddrive to expand your puny console storage
on November 21, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
With games like Red Dead Redemption 2 taking up most of the space in your bare bones console, if you don't want to crack open your PS4 to install a new harddrive, this is your next best option. Works pretty flawlessly. Connect to your PS4 or Xbox One and set it up as an external hard drive source for your games. I've used my fair share of external hard drives like this in the past and you can't really get better than Western Digital so if this drive fits your budget and you need space for the next Red Dead Redemption 2 sized game, definitely pick this up.

Decent second monitor for it's price
on October 19, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
For the size and price of this monitor, it's pretty decent. It's not great, but it's pretty decent. I've been using a 1440p 27" monitor as my main monitor for some time but wanted a second monitor to keep an eye on some things while gaming and such. This guy does the trick and doesn't break the pocket book.
Picture quality is pretty OK. I feel like the colors are a little bit washed out even on the highest brightness settings. I've played with the picture settings as well as their built in presets and nothing seems to make the picture "pop". It's definitely not BAD, but I think it could be a little brighter.
Setup is as easy as plugging in to your HDMI port of your video card. I suppose this would also work for a console if you're looking for a monitor just for console gaming. Can't imagine why it wouldn't work.
My biggest complaint about the monitor is the lack of VESA mounting support. It's not necessarily the monitor's fault that I kind of assumed most modern monitors just came standard with VESA mount support these days. I would assume this is how they keep the costs down a little bit by not paying for the license fees to use the standard. On the note of mounting, the included mount is alright. The monitor just kind of clicks into it and you're done. Easy to set up but sturdiness could be a little better. Again, not BAD, just not great.
So I said it a couple times in this review and it stands true for my overall review of this monitor. It's not BAD, it's just not great. This monitor will do fine for most of what you probably need it for. It's cheap and good enough for that price. It won't blow you away but it won't leave you wishing you never pulled the trigger on it either. For a second monitor, it really is good. If you need a cheap main monitor, too, I'd say this will do.

Great and versatile
on October 19, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I don't have a lot of experience with pressure cookers but Ninja makes good stuff. This has a pretty awesome cookbook included (you know, if you don't have the internet or something) and I'm looking forward to checking out a lot more recipes with it. The crazy amount of things you can use this for should be reason enough to buy it but my biggest selling point is how quick is cooks things.
Truth be told, I haven't gotten a lot of chances to cook with this yet but I can say that it's really easy to use (most ninja products have pretty simple to understand instructions) and it made me a nice plate of wings really quick. I'm can't wait to try this out on a lot of my ketogenic meals in the future when meals are quite simple and this promises to knock them out really quickly.
As I end most of my reviews for products I like, if this is in your budget I recommend this.

A fancy coffee maker for a fancy person
on October 19, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
If you feel fancy, this is the coffee maker for you, I think. I've been on the single k-cup coffee makers for years now but am unsure why because I almost always drink more than a single cup of coffee. This is my first normal drip coffee maker in a long time and I'm really impressed with it.
The water tank is very easy to remove to fill up (and a full carafe of coffee uses a full tank of water) so if you're entertaining and making multiple pots of coffee, it's really nice to be able to remove and refill the tank quickly and easily. It's not a dig on the coffee maker but my mindset isn't quite used to refilling the tank after each pot of coffee so I've made a couple of pots that were a quarter cup of coffee made with a full serving of coffee grounds.
Controls are really simple too. A single dial cycles through the various brew modes. Another dial cycles through the size you're looking for. Then just press a button and you're off to the races.
I love the permanent filters. There's a permanent filter for coffee and tea. I haven't made any tea yet but I am a big tea drinker than this will probably just make things even easier to make. You just pour the loose leaf tea (or tea bags according to the instructions) in the filter and select what kind of tea you're making and press go. Cleaning the coffee filter is pretty easy, too.
Overall, I can't say enough good things about this coffee maker and I haven't even tapped it's full potential. I still have yet to make tea or a cup of iced coffee (the coffee maker I got doesn't come with a large cup for brewing straight into so I'm going to buy one first).
If you're looking for a new coffee maker and this fits your budget, I say go for it. I'm not going back to my Kuerig anytime soon.

Really nice feeling mouse
on October 3, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I decided I wanted a reliable, wireless mouse to replace my Naga mouse I've been using for quite some time. The numpad on the side of the naga definitely serves it's purposes when playing a lot of MMO games but I found myself hardly using it aside from maybe the first couple of numbers. This new "Pro" mouse feels really good and moves great.
There are 2 buttons on the each side of the mouse. The left side buttons take a second to get used to clicking but it's not that bad. It's a huge departure from having 12 buttons I can click with my one thumb. But my naga just doubled as an extra numpad when it wasn't configured for the game I was playing so I could always use the numpad to hit 1 2 or 3 which are almost always bound to something in most games you'll play. So with this guy, you'll need to configure your side buttons for the games your playing. Not too big of a deal. The mouse wheel feels good as well. Everything about the feel of this mouse "feels" very "Pro". The one thing I really miss from my Naga mouse and I still haven't gotten used to yet is the lack of the tilt functions on the mouse wheel. I still try and tilt the scroll wheel to the right or left to go forward or back on the web and such. I'll get used to using the side buttons but it stands out as the only thing I haven't gotten used to quickly with this new mouse. I would have liked it to have a tilting scroll wheel.
Tracking is as great as you can perceive. I haven't noticed any issues at all. There's a button on the bottom of the mouse that cycles through your DPI settings. By default, only about 2 of them are usable without being stupid. You can customize the settings for each stop with the software, though. The button is hidden away under the mouse so you have to go find it to change your setting so you'll probably just find a setting you like and just stick with it. If you change your DPI a lot while in a game, I believe you can bind on the side buttons to switch for you, otherwise this is more of a button you hit between games or never at all really (I haven't pressed it since I found a good setting for myself)
The wireless is great! Feels so good to not have to worry about a wire getting caught on the end of my desk or something sitting near it and catching on the wire. I really like the freedom. The battery life feels really good. I charged it when I first got my mouse and haven't needed to plug it in again since. That's been about a week of pretty regular use (6-8 hours per day) so far. You can also use the mouse while it's plugged in so if you run into an emergency where it dies in the middle of a game, just plug it in real quick and get back to it.
Overall, from the Naga to this, it's very different. I don't know if I would be able to use this mouse while playing something like WoW or another MMO but for pretty much any other type of game, I feel like the tracking, battery life, wireless, side buttons and "feel" are all pretty wonderful and will be working great for me for a long time.

Works great to keep me streaming on Twitch
on September 12, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
This UPS has actually been very useful lately. Storms and other various weather issues at our newly purchased home has resulted in a few brownouts over the last couple of weeks. I have a smaller UPS connected to my cable modem, router and switch to keep the internet up and running during power outages. I connected this new UPS to my gaming machine that I use to stream on Twitch and it has kicked in and saved the day more than once already while I was streaming. Stream continued. All was good. I was happy.
I haven't had any longer outages but real world usage for me wouldn't really ever use that. Any lengthy power outage would enable me plenty of time to wrap things up and shut everything down before issues arise.
Setup is obviously straight forward. The outlets for just plain surge protection vs. battery backup are very well labeled. The screen is very nice and informative. It can toggle itself on and off only when you want to see it or you can force it to stay on. I'm pretty happy with everything.
Overall, this just does that job it's supposed to. I believe uninterruptible power supplies are one of those things you don't really skimp on because you need them to work in an emergency. This has done that job so I'd recommend it if you have the budget for it.

Upgraded from older Yamaha
on June 26, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I upgraded my old 5.1 Yamaha receiver to this 7.1 4K HDR version. I'm loving it!
I've had a decent amount of luck with Yamaha receivers and this was a good upgrade. The 4K HDR passthrough works great. I spent longer than I should have trying to figure out why HDR wasn't working but it ended up being that I just didn't have HDR enabled on the HDMI port I plugged the receiver into. After that was switched it worked like gangbusters with my AppleTV 4K and my PS4 Pro.
Everything sounds great. The newer onscreen menus are great. My old Yamaha had a really basic menu screen. The auto speaker adjustment microphone worked really well the first time I used it.
I intend to buy new speakers to get the most out of this system but the old speakers I was using with my 5.1 system worked great. There was 1 setting that was mentioned in the setup guide for using 6 ohm speakers. It told me to refer to the manual for how to change this setting but I couldn't find a manual. I ended up needing to download the mobile app that gives you setup instructions and got a digital version of the manual from there. That was my only real issue with the setup process. Everything still sounds good with the older speakers. I assume, spending some money on a decent set of speakers will be even better.
I'd recommend this receiver. It works well with my 4K HDR TV and devices. It sounds good. Setup was somewhat easy.

Good update to an already good pair of headphones
on June 26, 2018
Posted by: swemoney
from Schaumburg, IL
I have the non-active version of this set of headphones and have enjoyed them for a while. This version adds the "active" moniker that is supposed to be more resilient to sweat. I sweat a lot when I work out so this is great for me. Although I never really had a lot of issues with the old ones.
One of my favorite things about these headphones is the charging case because of the easy to see and read lights. I've had other fully wireless headphones that don't have any status lights on the case and I ended up having the headphones die in the middle of a workout because I forgot to charge them (or didn't realize they needed to be charged). There's a bright light on the inside and on the bottom of this case that's green most of the time but changes to yellow when the battery is running low. I just make sure to charge them when the light turns yellow. The light only lights up when you open and close the case so it's not annoying.
Sound quality is good. I'm no audiophile and I do have to adjust these on occasion so they're deeper into my ears. If any air is able to leak out of the headphones, don't count on hearing any bass. Luckily, I don't have a lot of issues with them staying in my ear so the sound stays pretty decent.
The only other difference from the standard, non-active version of these headphones is the finish. Both the case and the buds have a more matte finish than the non-active version. I actually like the finish a lot.
Overall, I would recommend these to anyone looking for a decent pair of fully wireless headphones. If these cost more than the regular version, I might just recommend the regular version if you don't sweat a lot. Unless you really like the matte finish.

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.

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.

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. The Tile app makes your headphones easy to find if they ever go missing.
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.
