#1 User Friendly Monitored Home Security System
on March 14, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The latest "Shield" security system from SimpliSafe is without a doubt the easiest & the best looking alarm system I have installed; and I have installed over a dozen systems to $5,000 & up from various manufacturers in homes, including in my own home. This newly released completely wireless model is ultra modern in appearance & in operation. It literally talks you through each step by voice & by text on the hand held, easy to read keypad.
Shield includes: 1) Keypad, 1) Base Station, 2) Motion Sensors, 6) Door/Window Sensors & 1) Key Fob. You can add some very cool & useful accessories for little extra money, i.e. extra sirens, CO2 Detectors, Smoke Detectors, Water Sensors, Freeze Sensors & SimpliCams (Security Cameras).
The latest SimpliSafe Shield features smaller, better looking hardware, that wirelessly connects with sensors farther away than the previous model & sends & receives signals faster than before. This means you are protected even in a very large home without signal disconnection issues. All devices include batteries; the entire system continues to operate in the event of a power outage.
To begin, simply pull a plastic separator out of each device that blocks battery power until you set it up & follow the voice & text instructions (you do not need to read a manual), enabling the internal batteries to connect & you are off!
You name each sensor so Shield can identify it. You press the button to test each sensor. There are no holes to drill; the Keypad & all Sensors are mounted with adhesive tape, included (with spares!).
The rubberized keys on the Keypad are just the right size, not tiny buttons like most keypads, and look & feel great. The keypad display area serves as a rocker switch: up/down/right/left.
Menu on the Keypad opens up settings, where you can customize chime volume, voice volume, alarm volume, entry delay / exit delay / alarm off time, just to name a few.
The Base Station features a most impressive swirling, revolving series of LED's at the base that can be defeated for a hidden installation, or activated to draw attention & to provide exit safety.
Once setup, you can activate & connect a choice of monthly monitoring service levels online or via telephone. A major benefit is: there are no contracts. Monitoring is state-of-the-art, connecting to your SimpliSafe Shield by both Wi-Fi (faster) & Cellular (back-up if your Wi-Fi cable is defeated or fails). You can specify which alarm triggers get emergency response & which you only receive private notification. And you can change notification choices as often as you prefer.
SimpliSafe has built a dynamite Monitored security system & the "Shield" model includes the most sensors of any model; the included sensors will be needed in virtually all installations, so the Shield is an outstanding value.
SELF MONITORING:
For those who prefer self monitoring, SimpliSafe delivers this option by you paying for monthly monitoring & you select phone call, email & / or text options. You can choose not to alert the authorities & by this method you have set up a self monitoring system, complete with battery back-up (up to 24 Hr on the Main Unit), Wi-Fi & Cellular connection to the Monitoring Station, who will alert you if any sensor is triggered.
Can You Avoid Paid Monitoring?
You can use the SimpliSafe Shield as a "local" unmonitored security system; basically a box that screams at the potential intruder & that is all. You cannot activate the built-in Wi-Fi or Cellular to contact you; it is fixed & pre-programmed to only contact the Simple-Safe Monitoring Station.
CONCLUSION:
SimpliSafe offers modern hardware that beautifully blends in your home setting. It is ultra reliable, easy to set-up & friendly to use on a daily basis. Monitoring is reasonable & there are no contracts.
However, if you prefer a security system where the alarm will notify you with an alert (self monitor) without paying for monthly monitoring, look further; SimpliSafe cannot send a signal without paying for monthly monitoring. Some competitive security systems are specifically made to do just this. That is not made clear on the box nor in the advertisements; for this, I deduct 1 star from a perfect 5.0.
Monthly security monitoring offers many benefits; if an intruder damages the keypad, the signal is still sent to the station via Wi-Fi or cellular. Broken pipes? A great item for silent monitored alert. A local, unmonitored alarm that screams but does not alert anyone may be practical if your neighbors hear it & if they choose to take action; that is not a chance I choose to take.
Best reason to pay for monthly monitoring? Peace of Mind!! For that reason alone, my home is monitored & I recommend you monitor yours, as well. I find SimpliSafe Shield to be a Top Tier Security System for those who choose to hire a professionally monitoring company to protect their family & their belongings. This system is a bargain & is a delight to use. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Sony With Extra Bass is Your Ticket to the Party!
on March 11, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Sony SRS- XB31 is a technological marvel disguised as a powerhouse portable speaker! This jewel FAR EXCEEDS my expectations!
LIKES:
1- "Live Sound Mode" selectable by free Sony Music Center App, produces an ultra wide spread sound that puts you in the middle of the band. I kid you not, instruments sound as though they are across the room & you are in the middle! Extra Bass is integrated into this mode, so you not only get a room full of sound, you get strong bass, too.
2- "Extra Bass" is also selectable by free Sony Music Center App. It is on by default, and is absolutely fantastic! I prefer "Live Sound Mode", which includes "Extra Bass".
3- Rechargeable Battery features up to 24 Hour Battery Life - Party all Day & Night!
4- Fully Waterproof with IP67 rating to 3.3 feet.
5- "Wireless Party Chain" is another amazing feature: 100 of these speakers can be wirelessly connected together.
6- "Party Booster" feature turns this speaker into a portable drum kit, percussion kit or customized sound. Tap on 5 sides of this speaker & it rocks out with drums, percussion, cowbell, etc. The sounds are amazing; imagine a party full of revelers, each beating their own drum kit on one of these speakers!
7- Dynamic LED & strobe party lights flash to the beat (if you select them to) - they even flash the beat of Party Booster! The lights even wrap around both sides of the speaker!
8- I selected the blue speaker; it is available in Red, White, Blue & Black. I was delighted to see the beautiful lustrous electric blue. So many speakers offer dull colors. Not this one!
9- External 3.5mm input jack for connecting to any so equipped source (i.e. Echo Dot & just about any imaginable music source).
10- Features Sony LDAC (also called High-resolution audio). LDAC is a Sony audio coding technology that enables clear, High-Resolution Audio, even over Bluetooth. It supports SBC / AAC / LDAC codecs, so you enjoy premium sound from a variety of devices from virtually any source.
11- Bluetooth Wireless Range is 98 feet.
12- Lightweight: 2 pounds.
13- Easy size to carry dimensions: 9.1" W X 3.4"H X 3.4"D.
14- Charges using any standard 5 Volt / USB adaptor with included USB to Micro USB cable. No special adaptor to carry.
15- Microphone built-in; this speaker serves as a speakerphone.
16- NFC technology for one-touch pairing with equipped devices.
17- Full onboard controls on top of the speaker control everything without fiddling with the sound source. No interruptions to the party!
18- Graphic Equalizer is built in the aforementioned free Sony Music Center App. Tweak the bass punch & high frequency clarity precisely to your satisfaction.
19- Standard USB 5.0 Volt output jack is built in to power or charge devices, such as your phone, from this powerhouse speaker.
20- Very attractive curved shape.
DISLIKES:
NONE!
CONCLUSION:
Sony SRS- XB31 FAR EXCEEDS my expectations & earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

Perfect Hue Starter Kit
on March 9, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the best way to jump into Hue in a big way, with 4) medium base multi color / white bulbs & a Hub. These are the latest generation Hue with brighter bulbs & more intense colors. The pricing at Best Buy was very attractive compared with individual bulb prices, so I bought it to add to existing Hue bulbs & to have an extra Hub, since the practical limit is 50 bulbs per Hub.
Philips - Hue White and Color Ambiance A19 LED Starter Kit earns my Highest Recommendation!

PAR16 with Hue Quality & Colors

from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you use a PAR16 or similar size medium base accent light, I highly recommend this bulb! I switched the accent lights on my office curio with these. Set timers for different colors with times of the day. The colors are beautiful & are a perfect match to the other Hue bulbs. These bulbs gave new life to office furniture that everybody notices!
Hue White and Color Ambiance PAR16 Wi-Fi Smart LED Spot Light Bulb - Multicolor earns my highest recommendation!

This is Not Your Grandfather's Receiver!
on February 24, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Sony STRDH190 is an Ultra Modern 2-Channel Audio Receiver designed to deliver Precision Audio for 2018 & Beyond!
LIKES:
1- Smarter Bluetooth Standby turns on receiver wirelessly by any phone or tablet simply by activating Bluetooth! Features Bluetooth Audio Streaming.
2- Vinyl never sounded so clear! Dedicated equalization & gain is activated with Phono Input. The resulting sound is off the charts!! The highly sensitive Phono Preamp is purposely located diagonally opposite the magnetic Power Transformer to keep inference to a minimum.
3- Uses a discrete transistor amplifier, a feature unique to the most expensive High End Power Amplifiers. A discrete amplifier produces sweet sound with much higher Signal to Note Ratio, greater Amplifier Gain, less Clipping, lower Distortion & inaudible Hiss, compared with "Amplifiers on a Chip" that are cheaper & are standard in most receivers.
4- Oversized Power Transformer exceeds power requirements at the loudest Sound Pressure Levels. Feel the weight of this receiver; the massive power transformer is most of the weight. Gone are the flickering receiver lights when you crank up a budget receiver, because it was running out of power. When an amplifier runs out of power, the sine wave audio transitions to a flat top, square wave, or DC. DC burns out speaker coils. Playing an amplifier with inadequate power source causes this phenomenon; this receiver is designed to deliver full rated 100 Watts RMS / Channel continuously without jeopardizing speaker coils.
5- Six (6) stereo inputs: 3) Standard Analog Inputs, 1) Tape or similar Input / Output, 1) Phono & Bluetooth.
6- Full Functional Remote Control
7- Auto Standby: If power is cut & restored, receiver turns back on with the exact input & volume before power was cut. This is a huge feature for a remote installation. I am using this receiver as an outdoor Deck Audio system, using Apple Airport Express with Apple AirPlay as the streaming audio input. I use a WEMO switch to energize / cut power to this receiver. Switch WEMO on & the receiver immediately turns on in the state last set up.
8- Low Profile Cabinet measures only 5 1/4" high; placement is very versatile.
9- 2) Zone A & B speakers are selectable by remote control. This means indoor & outdoor speakers, or 2 rooms of audio can be switched or operated simultaneously.
10- Front Panel 3.5mm audio input connects to Amazon Echo Dot & similar steaming audio sources or smart speakers. No need to fish around the back of the receiver to find the jack.
11- 1/4" full size front panel mounted headphone jack.
12- Built-in FM Radio with 30-station preset, remote controllable.
13- Massive 100 Watts RMS / Channel Output X 2 at 1% THD (it plays VERY LOUDLY yet Sounds PURE!).
14- Dimensions & Weight:
Depth 11.2 in
Width 16.9 in
Height 5.2 in
Weight 14.77 lbs
Width 16.9 in
Height 5.2 in
Weight 14.77 lbs
15- 2-Year Factory Warranty.
16- Hi-Res Audio, with high bit count on digital signals, produces higher than CD quality sound.
17- The steel reinforced chassis, located on the bottom of the receiver, is a work of art & is something to behold! More than a pretty box, this chassis is designed to be located near speakers that you crank up loudly, while absorbing & not transmitting vibration that would directly result in audio distortion heard through the speakers! SONY perfected this feature years ago for their State-Of-The-Art ES Receivers, ES Preamplifiers & ES Amplifiers. To bring such crucial technology to this 2-Channel Receiver clearly shows SONY's dedication to Pure Audio with STRDH190.
18- Sony even added vibration deadening heat sink mounts for the aluminum power transistor heat sinks, to further reduce undesirable vibration that could be transmitted and heard as distortion in the speakers.
19- Pure Direct option on the remote avoids sound coloration & yields only the cleanest tracks.
20- Designed for Speaker Impedance from 6-16 Ohm, which is basically every speaker on the market.
DISLIKES:
1- The volume knob is an ideal size, but is not weighted. In the 70's, large receivers featured "Weighted Volume Control" and "Weighted Tuning Knobs". A small spin and a flywheel behind the front panel would transfer the spin effortlessly with a cool feel. Minor issue, but it would have been nice...
2- Power cord is permanently connected to the back of the receiver; I prefer a receptacle on the back of the receiver with a plug-in power cord. That enables easier routing to AV cabinets.
3- No rear panel IR Sensor. For installations in cabinets using a smart remote such as Harmony, remote transmitter eyes look better - and are invisible - when mounted to the rear panel IR Sensor if one is present on the receiver, rather than stuck on the front panel IR Sensor, with a wire hanging out.
4- No Subwoofer Output. Even though this is a 2-Channel amplifier, using a subwoofer to enhance low frequency sound can be desirable. A single RCA jack with low pass filter would have enabled a simple subwoofer connection.
CONCLUSION: This is Not Your Grandfather's Receiver!
With Smart Bluetooth Connection, Streaming, Phono customized for Vinyl & a Premium construction designed for delivering Pure Sound, Sony STRDH190 earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

Works. Every. Time.
on February 12, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am an early adopter & have used various home automation devices over decades. I ditched X10, X10 Pro & Z-Wave, searching for reliable equipment that could offer easy control from a smart-phone with Amazon Echo & Google Home Control. Apple Siri Control would be a bonus. The first Homekit approved devices were extremely disappointing & were unreliable. They had to be unplugged & rebooted about 1ce / week.
Meanwhile, WEMO has become a strong supplier of Home Automation gear. WEMO has built a reputation for dependability, so I tried 1 WEMO Mini WiFi Smart Plug. It was very easy to set-up & 3 months later, I added 15 more.
WEMO wireless switches work 100% of the time. They respond to Amazon Echo & to Google Home. With the upcoming Apple (Siri) adaptor that WEMO is releasing, WEMO will respond to Siri, as well. When you command On or Off state, you get instant notification on your phone App. The timers in the WEMO App work just as consistently as the switch.
Next, I need 4) weather resistant switches for landscape lighting, subject to rain / snow / freezing / 110 degree weather. And Wi-Fi is naturally weaker through the concrete / brick house exterior, where they will be located. At this time, WEMO does not offer such a switch. I wish they did!
So I have 2) choices:
1- Buy a plastic enclosure, insert a WEMO switch, and pull inlet and exit wiring through weatherproof connectors. Basically, make it weather resistant.
Or:
2- Buy an unproven brand that offers a weather resistant product.
I am still weighing options for a weather resistant smart switch with WEMO reliability.

Conclusion:
WEMO Mini WiFi Smart Plug is a 100% reliable product & has earned my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! I hope they add an outdoor version, but for now, WEMO is the BEST of the BEST indoor smart switch!

Turbotax is very dependable Tax Software. I used Turbotax for 15 years straight. It searches for last year's Turbotax file on your computer & when you select it, the software loads last year's return & all of your personal information. This saves a lot of time. It also checks for any omissions or additions from last year's return, making for a more accurate & honest tax filing. every time you launch Turbotax, it checks to see if there are any updates.

Mini Minimalism
on January 18, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
Google Home Mini is a versatile miniature rendition of Google Home with a smaller, yet surprisingly good sounding speaker. Similar to it's larger sibling, simply call out "OK Google" or "Hey Google" and speak your request.
The strong suit, not surprising, for this Google assistant, is to address a question that can be answered by Google search engine. That is where it really shines & blows away it's competition. For this reason I recommend owning at least one of these or one of the full sized Google Home, if you prefer.
If you already own a competitive virtual assistant, I recommend you buy this Google Home Mini. Owning both one or more Google Home Mini's and a competitive assistant make perfect sense. Each has a specialty and can do specific tasks better than the other. Owning BOTH offers you the best of both worlds.
In addition to voice controls (that I prefer), tap the top to pause or resume music playback, and you can tap and hold to activate the Assistant. To adjust the volume, you tap the sides of the device. Or best yet, simply SPEAK your command!

Preeminent Protection for Your Loved Ones
on January 18, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
Nest Protect Smart Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm provides the ultimate protection & peace of mind. The intelligent alerts discriminate between steam and smoke. A clear "Heads Up!" pre-alert gently cautions you in situations when close proximity to steam or a little smoke in the kitchen, for example, is about to trigger an alert. You can silence a false alarm using your phone. Multiple units share alerts to all rooms & to your NEST App on your phone, tablet & computer - so you are protected throughout your home!
The "Promise" is a ring of green light that illuminates nightly to let you know everything is good. Walk under NEST at night & the ring glows white, forming a pathlight. During Heads Up, it glows yellow. During an emergency, it glows red.
NEST Protect self-tests, alerting you first by the phone app that it will sound. Everything is tested: sensors / voice / siren. Tests are dated & are sent to your app. A monthly summary even shows the exact date & time of each test.
This is the premiere smoke detector, able to detect CO2 (even produces a completely different sound, for instant identification). NEST Protect senses both fast and slow burning fires.
NO CHIRPS!! This advanced Smoke Alarm eliminates all of the hassles of pesky chirps from low batteries, with super long lasting Lithium Batteries included that last years. Battery alerts are through your App & by voice on the Alarm.
To set-up, simply scan the QR Code on the back of the NEST & follow the voice instructions. Easiest set-up ever!
NEST Protect earns my highest recommendation - no other Smoke / CO2 Alarm even comes close!

This SharkNinja Ninja Foodi blender features preset Auto-iQ smart programs that take the guesswork out of operation and dishwasher-safe parts for effortless cleaning.
What's the H.P. of the motor?
The motor draws 1,000 Watts. Convert this to HP as follows: 1 Metric HP is about 740 Watts, so divide 1,000 by 740.
This motor produces approximately 1.3514 Hp! This is one serious machine that does not slow down when full of ice cubes.

What is the maximum recommended square footage this bot will clean?
There is no recommended maximum, as when the Robot runs low on battery power, it returns to the base, recharges, then returns to continue its task. It is a very effective machine.
