Easy to Use, Powerful Photo Editing Software
on November 16, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Adobe Photoshop Elements is an easy-to-use photo editing software that will WOW you with it's extensive capabilities. Every year, Adobe reintroduces this product with features that elevate it to an even higher level than the previous year. This newly released 2023 edition is no exception.
Rather than the all-too-common bloatware, Photoshop Elements 2023 improved the software, yet reduced the size by 30%, allowing it to load faster & take up less space on your computer. Designed to support the Apple M1 chip, this software performs 45% faster on Mac computers.
One of my favorite capabilities is the ability to remove power lines, unwanted people & objects with the swipe of a brush. You click on the subject of your photo, then modify or replace the background with ease.
Numerous guided edits simplify the editing process even further. However, you can choose to manually edit, if you prefer.
CONCLUSION:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 2023 sits firmly at the top of the editing software heap - not an easy accomplishment, by any means. It is affordably priced & is loaded with features, earning my highest recommendation.

This is no microwave, toaster oven or broiler…it’s a revolutionary new way to cook. Hugely popular in Asia and available in the US for the first time, the Panasonic HomeCHEF 7-in-1 Compact Oven uniquely uses the power of steam and convection cooking together so you can roast, bake, steam, slow cook, air fry and ferment your way to incredible meals, sides and desserts. With combination cooking, steam insures consistently juicy, tender melt-in-your-mouth insides while convection delivers perfectly brown, crispy outsides. What would normally require 2-3 different processes can now be done in 1…plus, the enclosed space means less nutrients escape than with stovetop cooking. The HomeCHEF 7-in-1 is large enough to fit a whole chicken or a dozen muffins, yet small enough to outperform a traditional oven in both accuracy and speed. The icing on the (deliciously baked) cake? With steam you can sanitize everything from utensils to baby bottles, plus prep the inside cavity for easy wipe-and-go cleanup.

HomeCHEF Makes Tender Chicken & Fabulous Brownies!
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
INTRODUCTION:
The Panasonic HomeCHEF SC180B is a 7-in-1 Compact Oven that can Convection Bake to 445 degrees F, Steam, Slow Cook, Ferment, Stay Warm at 85 degrees F, & is an extraordinary Air Fryer.
With a 0.7 cubic feet capacity, it measures 15 29/32"W x 15 29/32"L x 14 51/64"H & weighs 27.1#.
REVIEW & RESULTS:
The large viewing glass on the front door strikes a sleek appearance with a beautiful view. A versatile LED simplifies the cooking process.
A water chamber, located below the oven, makes meats even juicer with steam.
We Air-Fried the most tender chicken & baked the tastiest brownies (see photo)! YUM!
DISAPPOINTMENTS:
- When you select Air-Fry, the oven Pre-heats, which takes more time than expected. No timer lets you know remaining Pre-heat time. You must wait for 3 beeps & a check mark on the front panel before you can enter the desired Air-Fry time.
- A Stainless Steel exterior option should be offered, as many kitchens today feature all Stainless Steel appliances. We plan to hide this black appliance in a ventilated Appliance Garage because it is not Stainless Steel, as are all of our other appliances.
- Operation is not intuitive, even when you are familiar with Air Fryers & Convection Ovens. Auto Cook Setting & Menus require careful review of the online instruction manual.
CONCLUSION:
- Energy efficient; our kitchen did not heat up using it.
- It is super easy to clean.
- The steam tray also collects food drips in a separate section of the tray, simplifying cleaning even further.
- The wire rack & metal trays are dishwasher safe.

Powerful Identity Protection That is Easy to Setup
on November 2, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
INTRODUCTION:
The LifeLock Identity Advisor has gained universal recognition as the best known go-to source for identity protection. LifeLock offers 3 levels of effective protection for your identity & your assets. I chose the most basic plan, because it addressed these concerns:
- Social Security Number & Credit Alerts.
- Lost Wallet Protection.
- Verified United Sates Post Office Address Changes.
- Monitored Privacy.
- Monitored Dark Web.
- Monitored Credit.
- United States based Restoration Team.
REVIEW:
LifeLock consists of a do-it-yourself layout. You enter data by answering a simple questionnaire.
The settings are easy-to-configure. You control the protection level, and can change settings any time.
CONCLUSION:
LifeLock is a bargain, alerting you by cell phone, text or email & covering up to 10 credit or debit cards, your home address, gamer tags, insurance, email, bank accounts & more. I highly recommend it for affordable peace of mind.

Powerful Dual Fast Charger is a Traveler's Dream
on October 24, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Insignia 35 Watt Dual Port USB-C Compact Wall Charger is tailor made for the traveller who needs to charge an Apple iPhone & an Apple Watch or an Android Smartphone & an Android Smartwatch. This powerhouse is even capable of charging the iPad or other tablet, or the Apple MacBook.
Measuring a meager 1.56" X 1.52" X 1.25" and featuring prongs for inserting in a wall receptacle that fold flat, it slips easily into your pocket, purse, backpack, or carry-on luggage.
The total output is 35 Watts & the full fast charge output power is available from either port. You can charge two devices simultaneously, which is why this is my go-to wall charger when packing for a trip.
The color is white, so it blends with your cables & devices. The finish is said to be flame retardant. This charger features a solid build and sports a quality feel.
The power input is 100-240 Volt, 50/60Hz, so this charger is rated for international use. Cables are not included; simply use your existing USB-C cables to connect to the Dual Port Charger.
CONCLUSION:
This Dual Port Charger is USB-IF certified, assuring OEM compatibility with many products. This is my favorite wall charger & it earned my highest rating.

Video Doorbell Installs Wireless or Wired Easily
on September 26, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Wyze - Wireless Video Doorbell Camera Pro is the easiest to install doorbell camera that I have encountered - and I have installed doorbell cameras from all of the well known manufacturers. One reason for such an easy installation is your choice of connecting it wired, using existing doorbell wiring, or you can connect it wireless, powered by an internal Li-Ion rechargeable battery. I chose to install it where no present doorbell exists, at the Garage Door. Simply fasten the doorbell to the side of the garage door, using 3M mounting tape. No wires required. Make a simple connection using the Wyze app and you are broadcasting live video. You are also connected to the hub, which is a speaker that you can plug into any receptacle, preferably up to 30 feet away. Recharge the battery in several months, as needed.
This is the only video doorbell I have tested that can connect to your 5Ghz Wi-Fi Network for maximum network performance; the other video doorbells only connect to the interference-prone 2.4Ghz Network. It produces a clear 1440p HD video. I attached 2 photos showing actual image of my garage door, down the drive, across the street & the neighbors' houses. The clarity is fantastic!
CONCLUSION:
The Wyze Wireless Video Doorbell Camera Pro is a stylish video doorbell that produces clear video & is priced at the low end of the competition. The included hub chimes (as the doorbell itself) but is not particularly loud. Programmable chimes including barking dogs are not options with this doorbell. A paid subscription that unlocks person & package identification is optional. This doorbell offers a very good value for the money.

Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is Tops in the Classroom
on September 21, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS:
The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 Laptop is the best tool I have discovered for use in the classroom. The 14.0" diagonal screen offers the perfect size / weight combination. The 2-in-1 Touchscreen enables quick response - something absolutely essential to keep you fully interactive in the classroom. The Intel Evo Core i5 includes 8GB RAM & an ultrafast 256GB SSD with no moving parts to break. The color is Slate Blue: it is beautiful & does not distract.
DETAILED OBSERVATIONS:
The stylus is not only included, it is literally built into the lower laptop frame where it stays charged. Simply remove it gently with a fingernail & it is immediately ready to write & draw on the screen. The stylus is so well hidden, I thought it was accidentally omitted from the box & Googled it, only to discover where it resides.
The most fantastic benefits for classroom use are the super fast boot up time (almost instantaneous) & the easy to use Chrome Operating System by Google. Simply go to the Google Store to load apps. There is no learning curve to set it up, or to operate it.
When relaxing at night, this laptop is an entertainment machine! I loaded Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube & other websites. Load the passwords one time, then simply choose your preferred source of entertainment with one click. You are connected within a few seconds.
CONCLUSION:
The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 Laptop is an ideal aid for the classroom. It is also a pure fun, entertainment center. I HIGHLY Recommend it!

UP Your Game With The G502 X Gaming Mouse
on September 18, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
The Logitech G502 X PLUS LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse sets the new standard for wireless gaming. This powerhouse fits beautifully in my large hand. The feel is one of extreme quality & great comfort.
Featuring an industry-leading 25,600 DPI, absolutely no delayed response is detectable. There is no click latency. You will feel the equivalent response of a wired top-of-the-line gaming mouse, with the phenomenal convenience of wireless.
The G502X PLUS features a number of programmable buttons. These are accessible by the Logitech G Hub.
My "Go To" Gaming Mouse is the highly regarded Logitech G502, until today. My new favorite, the new G502X PLUS, tops the G502's performance in several ways, with a price increase of only $10.
IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE G502:
1- Lighter weight.
2- 68% faster time elapsed between the dispatch & the completion time.
3- Improved hybrid optical mouse switches that produce faster speed & longer life
4- Longer Battery Life
5- Improved RGB LED display (configurable)
OPTIONAL BENEFIT:
Simply add the optional Logitech POWERPLAY Charging Coin (snaps in the bottom) to tie in with the optional POWERPLAY always-charging mouse pad to maintain the internal rechargeable battery effortlessly.
CONCLUSION:
A Wireless Gaming Mouse simply does not get any better than the G502 PLUS. It earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

State-Of-The Art Soundbar Delivers
on September 4, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Sony - HTA3000 3.1 ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar represents a stunning advance in audio engineering! This soundbar is ruggedly constructed - you recognize at first glance that this is a top quality instrument. As for appearance, it blends in with any OLED or LED TV.
A fully capable remote is included with the HTA3000. Not the slimmed down, barely functioning remote that is standard with much lesser sound bars.
Don’t let the fact that this is a 3.1 channel soundbar deter you from evaluating it. The sound quality is stunning & the vocal clarity is unmatched. Sony also offers an optional matching subwoofer & a pair of matching rear speakers, which enable you to purchase this soundbar at an excellent price today, then expand your theatre by adding floor shaking bass & 2 rear channels for a small cost addition at a later date.
This HTA3000 Soundbar includes the greatest audio innovation in recent times: “360 REALITY AUDIO”. This explosion of precision audio must be heard to be believed! In short, it is a clear, hard hitting sound that has not been available prior to the invention of 360 Reality Audio.
CONCLUSION:
I have evaluated & reviewed many soundbars manufactured by various TV & Audio companies. None come close to the Sony HTA3000. It stands head and shoulders above the rest. I highly recommend it!

Meet JOBY Wavo PRO, an advanced on camera shotgun microphone. Features packed with a creator-driven approach, no shooting challenge is too big for Wavo PRO. Built for storytellers, filmmakers and expert creators, Wavo PRO is designed to pair with the latest camera hardware and brings broadcast level audio performance to this dynamic and growing audience. The built in ANR (Active Noise Reduction) algorithm removes self-generated structural noise in real time making sure you get the cleanest audio possible directly into your camera while shooting on the go. At the heart of the microphone lies the digital sound processor that can be controlled by the Wavo PRO app (iOS and Android): here you can actively shape your sound and monitor audio levels even when you're in front of the camera. Wavo PRO delivers professional content in a fun and fully intuitive package. JOBY partnered with Rycote team to develop a brand new shock mount for the cleanest professional sound.

Pristine Audio Quality Microphone for Vloggers
on August 30, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The JOBY Wavo PRO camera-mounted shotgun microphone is designed to capture higher quality sound than what can be picked up by a DSLR or a smartphone. Weighing a meager 10.12 oz, and measuring 5.39" X 1.14" X 4.33", it is durably constructed, primarily of aluminum & ABS Plastic.
The microphone's internal Li-Ion rechargeable battery is easily charged with the included USB-C to USB-A cable. Fully charged, the claimed battery life is 60 hours (50 hours with Noise Reduction on). My testing showed this to be accurate. The microphone connects to your camera using a traditional 3/8" universal mount for Cold-shoe connection.
My favorite feature is the brilliantly designed, common sense Green Light, which is a Recording Indicator, as shown in my photos. This green light changes color as audio volume changes; it is super easy to confirm the audio is being properly recorded by glancing at it.
The accompanying app is my least favorite feature. The App has great promise, featuring beautiful graphics & various equalization settings. The App is bluetooth connected to the microphone. In my experience, the Bluetooth connection would drop out repeatedly, even after updating the microphone's firmware & fully charging the microphone. The microphone is so easy to use & feature rich, most times I would just skip using the App.
The integrated Active Noise Reduction by itself is worth the cost of the microphone. It does an amazing job of reducing annoying sounds associated with adjusting your camera & moving around.
CONCLUSION:
The JOBY Wave Pro really stepped up my game. If not for the App that would not stay connected, I would have rated it 5 Stars. Highly Recommended.

Sonos "Ray" Entry Level 2.0 Soundbar Packs a Punch
on July 25, 2022
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Sonos builds an ecosystem of soundbars, speakers & audio equipment that expertly distributes multi-room audio. They have established a large following of enthusiastic users who support the Sonos system design & use the Sonos phone app. "Ray", this new soundbar designed by Sonos, will be a big hit to those customers who have already invested in the Sonos infrastructure.
Measuring only 22 inches wide, Ray is designed to enhance the sound of televisions & gaming consoles in small listening rooms. The audio is crisp & clear. There is no wireless or internal sub, so Ray will not dazzle you with rocking bass performance. It does, however, produce a punchy mid bass & a clear voice for its modest size.
Surprisingly, RAY does not sport an onboard HDMI jack that is commonplace on Soundbars costing much less. Audio from your TV is connected via an IR Optical input jack. This old method of conveying audio limits the clear sound to 2 channels: no Atmos, Dolby Digital plus, nor DTS-HD, is possible.
No remote control is included & RAY does not display an array of LED's through the grill cloth, the most common means of seeing what volume level to which your soundbar is set. My TV remote was incompatible with RAY, so I had to install the Sonos iPhone App to control volume, equalization, etc. in addition to the TV remote, which did not control the optical signal to RAY.
CONCLUSION: RAY is the lowest cost, entry level Sonos soundbar. It looks great, is well built & is a welcome addition to existing Sonos users. However, without HDMI, a remote, volume indicator or subwoofer, Ray may not offer the best value for those not using the Sonos infrastructure.

Safeguard your home or business with this 4-pack of motion-activated NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home VMS3430-100NAS security cameras, which enables you to capture 720p video footage both during the day and at night.
 

How do you charge the cameras?

An included magnetic cord with USB is used to charge the battery. Simply place it on the bottom of the Ultra Camera & it sticks & electrically connects to the camera. You have the option of keeping power on the battery during use, if a wall outlet is handy.

Thank you!

I have an Eero wireless router with 3 satellite ports. It works well in my 2 story home. Do the cameras need to be 50 to 100 ft from the base or from the Eero satellite port?

The cameras must directly interact with the Base. The "Smart" features are actually in the Base. I am finding much greater distance than the quoted distance of the Ultra camera rom the Base. The base plugs into the router via Ethernet, so the Wireless Router distance to the camera does not matter.

Thank you!

How long do batteries last on the cameras

The answer totally depends on the amount of motion the camera sees. In a quiet environment, I saw nearly 2 months of battery life. In a high motion environment, I had to charge it about once / week. By motion, I mean a dog or a person alerting the camera to motion.

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! I have 5) Arlo Pro 2 Cameras & they work beautifully with the new Smart Base that is included with the new Arlo Ultra. Yours will work beautifully!
However, you cannot pair the new Ultra Camera with the old base you used with your Arlo Pro 2 Cameras. You will no longer need or would want to use that old base. This new one is far superior.

Thank you!

Create custom climate control settings in each room of your home with this pack of three Google Nest temperature sensors. Each sensor communicates directly with your Nest thermostat (not included) to keep your bedroom, living room or nursery at the perfect setting. These sensors work on the wall or on a shelf for convenient setup. With their low-profile design, these Google Nest temperature sensors blend seamlessly with your room's decor.
 

What is the difference in using these vs. buying a few thermostats for my home? Do I only need one thermostat for my home and then allow these to control the temperature in each zone?

These allow one thermostat to be temperature controlled from any room in the house with this sensor. Plus, the Nest App will show the actual room temp at every room where you placed a sensor.

By contrast, if you bought a few thermostats for your house, and tried to pull the wires from your HVAC to each thermostat, you would still need manual switches to go from 1 to 2 to 3, for example, because only 1 thermostat can connect to 1 HVAC at a time. That would be a nightmare.

The product page shows that a $25 rebate is available to purchasers in Cape Cod. The MA-saves website shows no option to get such a rebate. Which is correct ??

The rebate would be through your utility company. I would recommend calling your local utility company in Cape Cod & ask them to send you the rebate form.

With Fast Fuel, a 5-minute charge gives you 1 hour of playback. Sweat and water resistance provides trusted durability and dual-driver acoustics deliver dynamic sound to power your workout.
 

Why it is not able to connect to my laptop? It works well with the iphone.

The headphones may be automatically connecting to your iPhone, retaining that connection, and if so, cannot connect to your laptop if it is nearby, as Bluetooth can connect to only one source at a time.

Power your iPhone off as a test, or, if you prefer, simply swipe up the screen from the bottom & select Bluetooth OFF.

Then go to settings on your laptop - Bluetooth - make visible. Press & hold the headphone power button on. Look for the headphones on your laptop Bluetooth list. It should be there now. Click on the WH-CH700N.

Power your iPhone back on, or restore Bluetooth, which you previously turned off.

Can you activate Google Assistant with the mic like you can Siri? I didn't see it listed as a feature.

Great Question!!

You can activate an assistant with the WH-CH700N the same as you can with the iOS Home button.

If you can activate Google Assistant by pressing the Home Button & speaking into the phone, then you can activate Google Assistant with the WH-CH700N.

However, if you press the Home Button & it only brings up Siri, that is the same result to expect from WH-CH700N.

Go to Settings - Accessibility - Home Button - Voice Control. If you can get Google Assistant to open, then the answer to your question is YES.

I tried, but was unable to get the phone to open Google Assistant by voice.
