Ultimate Beard Grooming Tool
on April 3, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Philips Norelco Ultimate Beard and Hair Trimmer Series 9000 is the most precise trimmer for facial hair that I have ever owned. It looks & feels like a top quality instrument. The case is a combination of stainless steel & rubber. Instructions advise you to hold it by the rubber portion (year the blade) for precise control.
This trimmer offers an easy to rotate thumb wheel to set the trimmer depth precisely. This is an amazing feature! Simply dial in the chosen depth & run it across your beard and mustache. It trims all hairs longer than the set depth with incredible accuracy. See this thumb dial on the photos I posted.
* I have used this trimmer for a week & the rechargeable battery is still going.
* The included black, zippered case is perfect for travel.
* Easy clean up by holding the trimmer under the tap. It is waterproof.
CONCLUSION: This Series 9000 is unquestionably the BEST beard & mustache trimmer I have ever used. You will love how the precise depth control creates the ideal style that will set you apart!

Amazing Quality Video Doorbell Raises the Bar
on January 30, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Lorex - 2K QHD Wired Video Doorbell With Person Detection is a stunning piece of technology. Prior to connecting it, I used NEST Hello Doorbell. The Lorex 2K QHD offers substantially greater video quality than NEST Hello. Everything is included for a quick & easy installation. Amazon Echo Show (Alexa) can immediately access the doorbell.
A MicroSD card is included for local video recording. This offers the best of both worlds: You have immediate access to the camera from your cellphone or Alexa. And it stores video internally, so no monthly monitoring charge is due (you can even set what areas of the camera to watch for movement). Without the monthly monitoring charge, the operating cost is far less than NEST HELLO or RING PRO; you only pay for the initial purchase price, which is very reasonable.
This Doorbell even offers a motion-activated LED that can be activated when it detects a person. There is a Lorex Home app that alerts you when the camera senses motion.
CONCLUSION:
Lorex - 2K QHD Wired Video Doorbell is one awesome Video Camera - it even offers HDR Imaging - for your doorbell. It is easy to install, offers beautiful day & night video. This is the Top-of-the-Line Video Doorbell available today.

Blazing Speed, Quiet Office Scanner
on January 30, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Epson - WorkForce ES-500W II Wireless Duplex Desktop Document Scanner is my favorite appliance in my Home Office. It has a very small footprint (6.6" Wide) & blends with any office decor.
I was shocked on my first scan by the speed & resolution of the image! The paper zoomed through the scanner, producing a beautiful image of BOTH SIDES of the paper!
There are many options: Scan to Print, to Desktop, to Dropbox, to Email, just to name a few. Scan JPEG, PDF, and many other options.
Load up to 50 pages at once & work as it scans both sides simultaneously at up to 35 copies / minute (black) or slightly slower for color. I set my DPI to 300. It came default at 200 DPI & will go as high as 1200 DPI.
I elected to connect this scanner wirelessly using WIFI, rather than USB. The Wireless Networking capability is amazing! Equally simple to connect on both my Windows 10 & my MacOS 10.14.6 without using USB. I can access it from another computer in the house over 50 feet away using WIFI.
It is QUIET! You can have a Zoom Meeting while this Scanner is working without conflict. Easy to identify LED's show connectivity on the front panel. Please see 6) photos I posted that show this scanner in use on my desk.
CONCLUSION: The Epson WorkForce ES-500W II is the BEST Office Scanner I have ever owned & I have owned virtually every brand in existence. It is my favorite appliance in my office & I recommend it without reservation!

Powerful Blender with Contemporary Styling
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
INTRODUCTION:
The GE - 5-Speed 72-Oz. Blender - Stainless Steel is a compact appliance that enhances the looks of any bar or kitchen. It features a powerful 1,000 Watt motor, a knob for speed selection & a pulse switch. The stainless steel design blends perfectly with virtually any brand of major appliance.
GE solved the traditional problem of compact blenders: they usually walk across the counter when blending at high speed & tend to tip over when full. Not this beast! The 4) over-achieving suction cups on the base lock it to your countertop & assure there will be no movement or tipping whatsoever. In fact, try to move the blender an inch or 2 across your counter. You can't do it! You have to pry the blender up on all 4) corners, releasing it from the counter top, relocate it to the desired position, then sit it down. This slight inconvenience is well worth it, considering you will never have to chase the blender or steady it from tipping over!
The stainless knob & switches are accented by chrome. This is a small detail with major appearance enhancement! This fine detail gives the appearance of a high end product, one that you are proud to leave on prominent display.
On the back of the blender is an upper & lower cord retaining bracket, making the power cord completely disappear, yet allowing for quick and easy cord access. Brilliant design!
THE CARAFE:
At first, I was concerned about not having the glass carafe that has long been the traditional blender design. So I Googled "Tritan", the material of which the crystal clear, 72 ounce, lightweight carafe is made. In short, the carafe is dishwasher safe, BPA-Free, will not shatter if dropped like glass, is feather weight compared with glass, which is so important when it is full of delicious Margarita mix! Numerous independent 3rd party labs tested Tritan by running hundreds of dishwasher cycles & found the crystal clear appearance remained intact. I encourage you to Google "Tritan" to learn even more interesting details. After using this product for a week & reading the description, I consider this carafe to be a huge asset, far superior to the antiquated glass that older design blenders include.
PERFORMANCE:
The serrated edge staggered blades driven by 1,000 Watts of pure motor power convert the ice cubes & mix into the smoothest Margaritas ever! Levels 4 & 5 really kick it in!
CONCLUSION:
I love that this blender takes up a minimum amount of counter space (6.2" W X 7.4" D), looks like a very expensive product with stainless & chrome & is a powerful performer. It earns a permanent place on my bar & my Highest Recommendation! Please see 6) photos of this beauty proudly displayed on my bar.

Electronic Wall Paint
on December 14, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Nanoleaf Shapes - Triangles Smarter Kit (7 panels) - Multicolor is a unique set of brightly illuminated patterns (I chose triangles) that you control via the free app. Each shape can be illuminated a different color, or they can share the same color. They respond to Alexa, Hey Google, Home Kit, IFTTT, SmartThings, or the app. Each panel can display 16 million colors.
Your own creativity is the only limiting factor on what designs & colors you build. There are limitless possibilities. The panels remind me of looking directly at a plasma TV. They are very bright when turned up to max brightness (560 lumen) & the colors are pure.
The only caution I would share is the kit includes a very strong adhesive to mount the panels, so if you are one who may choose to change the design, you might consider using easily removable 3M Command Strips to allow for a painless removal when you are ready to relocate the shapes.
Expansion kits are available to add on at any time, so you can continue your creative journey & fill an entire wall, free of limitations.
CONCLUSION:
Nothing brightens your mood better than your own custom shape design in your choice of bright & cheerful colors! The best solution to fighting the Covid-19 Blues is to set the light panels to dance to the beat of the music!

Innovative Floor Cleaning Appliance Performs!
on December 8, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Shark - AI Robot VACMOP™ PRO RV2001WD, Wi-Fi Connected, Robot Vacuum & Mop with Self-Cleaning Brushroll is an advanced robotic appliance that vacuums the floor simultaneously as it mops. Having just installed new flooring in the basement, I decided to try my first Shark product there.
MY PRIOR ROBOTIC EXPERIENCE:
I own 3) 3-Year old Top-of-the-Line Robotic Vacuums & 2) 3-year old Top-of-the-Line Robotic Vacuums. The robotic vacuums I had were not effective at mopping; they simply moved about the room with a stationary mop pad underneath. The vacuums bumped into things & would often fail to return to their charging base.
SHARK OPERATIONAL OBSERVATIONS & PROCEDURES:
1- Recyclable Packaging is Environmentally Friendly
2- Shark uses first rate materials: For example, ABS is used throughout the Robot; ABS Plastic is virtually indestructible.
3- Extremely Simple Instructions that are easy to follow.
4- Shark solved the perennial problem of making sure the robot can find it's way home to the charging base & make electrical connections. They included a round, black plastic platform that cradles the charging station that provides a smooth path, regardless of carpeting, tile, vinyl, or any type of floor. This is a brilliant solution that eliminates one of the main weaknesses of their largest competitor.
5- The Shark maps your room twice: once to create a drawing that shows walls & obstacles. You then accept it or make changes. It discovered 5 rooms which I consider are actually 2) rooms because of the wall design. Simply name the rooms & click on the common rooms and select "Merge". Now I have 2) rooms mapped out & named.
6- The Shark maps your room again, searching for carpet. It located my only carpet & created a dotted line in that area, so the mop would avoid the carpet.
7- Select ECO, Standard, or High Output on both the vacuum and the mop by the free Phone App. Select standard or high level liquid flow from the mop.
8- To only vacuum & not mop, simply leave the mop attachment off & press clean on the robot or on the Phone App. The robot cleans & returns to the base.
9- To Mop, fill the mop container (very easy to do) with liquid cleaner (included) or water, then snap it onto the robot at the 2) clearly marked places. This takes 2 seconds to fasten it. See a water droplet illuminated in white on top of the Robot that confirms the Mop is properly installed.
10- Press Clean on the Robot or on the Phone App. The Robot waits 30 seconds as it fills the Mop Pad with the precise amount of liquid needed.Then it vacuums & mops simultaneously. When it mops, it sonically moves the Mop Pad, which is analogous to moving your hand on the floor. It is much more effective than simply dragging a stationary mop pad around. The Robot never touches a wall or an obstacle; the built-in laser guided navigation system is amazing & really works.
11- When finished, the Robot returns to it's charging station & recharges.
12- I drove across town & was able to control all aspects of the Robot from the Phone App remotely, just as if I was at home.

SHARK VACMOP EFFECTIVENESS:
My wife arrived home & saw the mopped floor, where she had just decorated a Christmas Tree, leaving glitter everywhere. There was no glitter visible anywhere. The floor had a freshly mopped appearance. The glitter was all in the 1 quart-sized dust bin. This VacMop Pro is amazing!
SUPPORT:
I had one minor issue: from the beginning, no liquid would make it's way from the liquid chamber to the Mop Pad, so the mopping was only dry mopping. I called Shark. They answered quickly & escalated my case to the 3rd level, who promised to call me back within 24 Hours & promised my complete satisfaction.
Before Shark called me back, I fixed it myself. You can see 2) tiny hoses in the bottom of the clear liquid container; they look like they could possibly be clogged by the package being banged around during shipping. So I emptied the cleaning solution & filled the liquid chamber with hot water. I closed the cleaning chamber lid, then shook it vigorously. I poured out the hot water & repeated this procedure 2) more times. I refilled with the cleaning solution, set the MopVac Pro to mop & it completely solved this minor issue. The mop leaves behind just the right amount of liquid that you specify on the Phone App.
CONCLUSION:
I am so impressed by the Shark VacMop Pro, i ordered a second unit today for our upstairs. This is one fantastic performer & earns my Highest Recommendation!

Best Photo Editing Software This Side of Photoshop
on December 4, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I generally upgrade to the latest Adobe Photoshop Elements Software every year, because the improvements are so compelling. Adobe outdid themselves for 2021. It contains a quantum leap of added capabilities, while maintaining the comfortable structure resident in every generation of Elements software.
Tutorials for Quick, Guided & Expert get the assistance you need quickly to perform many tasks. I enjoy the before / after quick look, that lets you see the edited version & compare it with the original.
Red eye removal has never been easier. You can even "open the eyes" of a subject whose eyes are closed on an otherwise excellent photo. You can change the background effortlessly to further enhance your photo.
I bought the full blown, mega-capable Photoshop several years in a row. I took classes on how to use it & bought several books. I had to brush up on how to use it each time. It is such a difficult program to master, and because my photo editing needs are sporadic, I never achieved the comfort level so easily attained with Elements.
Compare that with Photoshop Elements: it is so intuitive, no review or retraining is necessary. This greatly adds to the fun of editing & eliminates the complexity that made editing seem like a chore.
I Highly Recommend Adobe - Photoshop Elements 2021 for the Amateur through the Highly Skilled photo editor!

So Grandpa is Cool After All!
on November 20, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I picked up this Hoverboard for my Grandsons. I did not realize how big a hit it would be! The lights are dazzling, the 400 Watt motors are powerful enough to travel at 7 mph. The appearance is a shiny black high quality finish. The wheels are clear, to allow light to pass through.
I had to try it myself. What a sight! A bald man in his mid-60's on a lit-up Hoverboard! It is a blast! Simply lean forward to move ahead, lean backward to reverse & stand straight to stand still. Or that is how it is supposed to work. O.K., I cheated & hung on to the rail beside me as I learned the ropes, LOL!
I really like the fact that Hover-1 is a major brand, with replacement parts & accessories very easy to obtain. I ordered an accessory that is made for this Hover-1. It is a Cart that straps to the Hover board, converting it to a go-cart! Simple velcro straps allow you to use it as a go-cart or a Hoverboard with a quick change. You drive it with 2 sticks, just like a zero turn mower. This arrives tomorrow.
CONCLUSION: This Hoverboard is loads of fun for young and old, from Grandson to Grandpa! With the major brand backing you up, lights galore, 400 Watt Motor & obvious high quality, plus accessories & parts easy to get, this is a great purchase that I highly recommend for years of fun.

Power 2) Tablets Simultaneously On The Road
on November 6, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I had a "Brand-X": 12 Volt to USB Adaptor which charged my iPhone, but did not have enough power to power my iPad in the car. The Belkin - Dual USB-A Car Charger 24W + USB-A to USB-C™ Cable includes 2) USB ports, both capable of 12 Watts output each. This means you can power & charge two of the largest tablets available today (any brand) at the same time!
A well made USB-A to USB-C cable is included to charge or power your phone. It is long enough to be practical in your vehicle, measuring just over 3 feet. I keep this cable for future use, as my iPad & iPhone, as well as my wife's, use Lightning connectors & we already have USB to Lighting Cables.
A power indicator LED just above the 2) USB ports illuminates when power is available.
The Car Charger is black & is finished in a textured surface, to assist you gripping it, as you plug it in or remove it from the vehicle 12 volt power outlet.
CONCLUSION: This is a premium quality car charger with the look & feel that blends with any vehicle interior. With the ability to charge 2) tablets, phones, or a combination of 2) simultaneously, I highly recommend it.

Wireless Battery Powered 1080P Security Camera
on October 30, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Arlo - Essential Spotlight Camera – Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 1080p Security Camera offers easy installation with a completely wireless design. No external power required. The included rechargeable battery is estimated to last 6 month between charges! It measures a trim 3.5” x 2” X 3” and only weighs 3/4 lb.
I was thrilled with the sharp, clear 1080P video quality. I view this camera both on my Google Home and my Alexa Show. It even sends alerts to my Apple Watch! This is my only security camera that produces a color image at night. The camera senses motion up to 23 feet. This covers my driveway completely, so I am immediately alerted to visitors on foot or in their car as they enter our yard.
This camera has a built-in spot light, which can be activated by action. It also features 2-way voice between the person watching the phone, Google Home or Alexa Show, and the person being captured by the camera. It actually has a built-in microphone and speaker. The voice is clear, helped by built-in noise cancellation.
An optional solar panel is available to keep the camera battery charged, so you never have to use the included battery charging cable. This is a very smart option, as it makes the camera completely maintenance free.
CONCLUSION: I use several security camera manufacturers’ cameras inside and outside of my house. Most require 120 Volt AC power. I use this camera on the side of the house that has no power available. It is the perfect camera for this application. In fact, this weather resistant camera works so well & lasts so long on it’s battery, that I plan to buy several more Arlo Essential cameras for outside viewing. I highly recommend it.

Can i use them on a vacant lot? No power and no wifi, so can I get a data plan for them? I have verizon?
You can only use them in a vacant lot if they can reach the Hub that comes with them. The Hub connects to the internet via an Ethernet cable (included). So you would need the Hub plugged into the Internet to wirelessly reach the camera.

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! I paired 5) of my Arlo Pro 2 Cameras with one new Ultra Camera. All must use the new Smart Hub. The new Smart Hub included with the Ultra Cam will work beautifully with Pro 2. However, the Ultra cam will not work with your old hub.
Thank You!

How long do the rechargeable batteries last?
The rechargeable batteries last YEARS. I owned my previous Arlo Pro & Pro 2 cameras for 5 years & the built-in rechargeable batteries charge as good as new.

Will the base link up to wifi or does it have to be wired?
The base must connect to your internet using an included Ethernet cable. Simply plug it into your router and you are connected! It does not have Wireless connection

Can you use RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES IN THE CAMERAS? I HAVE SEEN THAT SOME PEOPLE SAY YES AND SOME SAY NO. IF NO, WHAT IS THE REASON?
The Ultra includes an outstanding Li-iON Rechargeable Battery. No other rechargeable battery will fit inside this battery chamber! Use the included rechargeable battery only & you will love it!
Thank you!

We purchased 2 VueZone zone base stations and 2 cameras not so long ago. Then they shut down the cloud!! Are they compatible?? Is it possible that netgear do a trade in or discount?? Perfectly good cameras going to waste... Can we do a deal??
I am sorry, the Ultra is not compatible with VueZone. There are others who may want to buy these cameras for a good deal from you, due to the future obsolescence. You might consider listing them for sale privately.
Be assured that Arlo is the undisputed leader in residential Security. They are financially well positioned to maintain their long term status in the Security Marketplace. You will be making a great decision by stopping up to the Arlo Ultra!
