Infinitely Adjustable Watch Band for Apple Watch
on May 4, 2024
Posted by: gadgetguy11
This Insignia Active Nylon Band fits Apple Watch 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, SE, Ultra 49mm and Ultra 2 49mm. I am using it on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 49mm.
The color is a very pleasant olive green. It is a color that blends well with virtually any attire, whether formal or casual. My favorite feature is that it is infinitely adjustable on your arm from 5.1 inches to 8.3 inches, because of the velcro fastening system. This keeps the watch always facing you; even the heavy Ultra 2 does not rotate on your wrist when bumped, as so many inferior watch bands do. This assures comfort and consistency because the watch stays put on your arm.
Fitment to the Ultra 2 watch is perfect. The watch band has a quality appearance as though it shipped with the Apple Watch.
This watch band is feather light. It measures 0.866 inches wide. It is fully water resistant; shower with it with no worries.
Installing this watch band could not be easier. Simply press the flush buttons on the back of Apple Watch to remove the existing band on both ends. Then slide the watch band brackets on both ends into the grooves on your Apple Watch!
CONCLUSION: The Insignia Active Nylon Band for Apple Watch exceeds my expectations; it looks & feels great & I highly recommend it!

Panasonic Easy-to-Use Modern Sound System
on May 3, 2024
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Panasonic Model # SC-PM270PP-K is a modern stereo system with 2) separate speakers that is ideal for a bedroom or a small office. It weighs only 8.2 lbs, yet it offers sound quality that is crisp & clear. Total power output is 20 Watts: 10 Watts / Channel.
An integrated CD player is great for playing all of the tunes in your collection from yesterday. The radio provides very good FM reception. The included remote control provides complete access to this stereo; simply add batteries to the remote (not included).
My favorite feature of this Panasonic Stereo is Bluetooth. The Bluetooth on this stereo is amazingly easy to connect to your phone or other device. Since my grandson will be the primary user of this stereo, the fact that Bluetooth connection is effortless is a huge benefit.
Dimensions:
Height: 8.8 Inches
Width: 16.1 Inches
Depth: 9.1 Inches
This stereo has a USB Type A Port located in the front to enable plugging in a USB drive as another music source. Sound can be fine tuned by the bass & treble controls, as well as by several Eq presets. The Bass Boost performs the traditional "Loudness" compensation that produces enhanced bass response at low to modest overall volume levels.
CONCLUSION: This Panasonic is an excellent music source for a small office or a bedroom, where crisp sound quality at a modest listening level is desired.

The Philips Norelco Ultimate Travel Shaver 3600
on April 11, 2024
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Philips Norelco manufactures rechargeable electric shavers that are arguably the highest quality & produce the closest shave in the industry. Their latest offering is the Shaver 3600, a rechargeable wet & dry electric shaver with pop-up trimmer & storage pouch.
i use this hand held marvel as a travel shaver because it is much lighter than previous Philips Norelco shavers, weighing a meager 0.41 pounds. Unlike the heavier models, the Shaver 3600 also includes a storage pouch, perfect to throw in your backpack or travel bag. Further, no large / heavy charger is required, as before, because the Shaver 3600 includes a USB A cable that will plug into any iOS or Android power pack that you most likely already own.
A pop-up trimmer is activated with the flick of your thumb. It works great for trimming your mustache or beard when you are away; requiring no second razor to carry. A plastic guard securely fastens to the razor, protecting the blades from damage & retaining any loose trimmed hair particles away from your clothes as you travel.
The Shaver 3600 gave me the identical smooth shave to which I am accustomed from my favorite razor: the Philips Norelco Shaver S9000 Prestige, and at a fraction of the price. With it's delightful-to-hold curved body, lightweight design & storage pouch, the Shaver 3600 earns my highest recommendation.

This New Slim Keyboard & Mouse Standard Performs!
on April 3, 2024
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Logitech is a beloved manufacturer renouned for producing premium quality keyboards, mice, gaming hardware & other top-of-the-line computer accessories & peripherals. Their latest product release is the MK955, a Signature Slim Full-size Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo. Designed to perform with Mac or Windows, it features extremely quiet typing & clicking, plus it connects with 3 computers or tablets with the touch of a button.
The mouse & keyboard connect effortlessly using Bluetooth. An included modern Bolt receiver provides an additional connection option that replaces the older unifying receiver from yesterday. To connect, simply choose the profile, then press & hold the button until the LED flashes rapidly. You can quickly switch control of a desktop, laptop & tablet, for example.
The Mouse uses 1) AA Alkaline battery; the keyboard uses 2) AAA Alkaline batteries. I actually prefer this to rechargeable peripherals in this application, because the batteries perform a long time under heavy use. Continued computing draws a lot of power & requires frequent recharging on a rechargeable mice & keyboard; since this is my business computer, battery power is preferential.
CONCLUSION:
The mouse is shaped beautifully & fits most hands very well; the keyboard is whisper quiet & is sure not to bother your office neighbor. While the keys are not backlit, this combo offers just about everything you would want to control 3 devices & earns my highest recommendation.

The Essential Indoor Camera sets up in minutes by connecting directly to Wi-Fi via the app. An Arlo Secure plan trial is included.

High Resolution Security Camera w/ Unreliable App
on November 19, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Arlo - Essential 1-Camera Indoor Wired 2K Security Camera (2nd Generation) with Automated Privacy Shield is an indoor security camera that delivers video in 2560 X 1400 (2K), so details & clear faces are noticeable in both lighter & darker environments.
Closing the privacy shield prevents the camera from capturing video when you choose. Two-way audio allows you to speak through the camera into the room using your smart phone.
Unlike my existing 7) Arlo cameras, only after I set up the Arlo Essential 1 camera did I discover that this camera has a monthly monitoring charge after the 30-day free trial. I am already paying monthly to monitor a different brand of security cameras, so this is an unexpected recurring expense which I will decline. Reviewing the fine print on the back of the box: "Arlo Secure service, including cloud recording, requires paid subscription after trial period."
After 1-day of successful operation, this camera attempted to update firmware unsuccessfully & remained "dead" for a full day in a strong WiFi area until I unplugged it, which restored normal operation.
The app is the weakest link; it is not user friendly & times out from lack of frequent use, causing the camera to stop recording video until you sign in again. I returned to the camera, reviewed what should have been video & discovered that the app had stopped video capture.
CONCLUSION:
Essential 1 captures good video for indoor plug-in (no battery) applications; however I would not depend on this camera for your security requirements until the app is updated.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Breathable Apple Watch Band Hugs Your Wrist
on November 12, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Insignia™ - Braided Nylon Band for Apple Watch is a beautiful addition to my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I chose Stone color, because my Ultra 2 came with a black band. I was pleasantly surprised about how breathable this band is! It is super comfortable.
Simply stretch the band to fit over your wrist & fine tune the fit with the clasp on the back. Once you set the clasp, simply stretch it to place on or off of your wrist.
I love that the stretchy design hugs your wrist & is never too tight, or too loose. It fits just right, and can be easily adjusted in seconds with the clasp, if needed. The band is made of easy to clean nylon braids.
Stone is a beautiful neutral color. It blends with everything & has a very classy appearance. Another surprising benefit: the clasps that slide into the Apple Watch are Titanium color & are a perfect match to the Ultra 2!
This band fits the Apple Watch 42mm, 44mm, 45mm and Apple Watch Ultra & Ultra 2 49mm (All Series).
CONCLUSION:
The Insignia braided nylon band is my favorite & the most comfortable band for my Apple Watch Ultra 2. It earns my highest recommendation.

Maximum Protection to Save Your iPhone Screen
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
INTRODUCTION:
The ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass XTR3 Advanced Edge-to-Edge Screen Protector for Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max offers maximum protection for your iPhone screen. This screen protector is made of tempered glass & offers unique benefits over conventional smart phone screen protectors.
UNIQUE BENEFITS:
- GLASS XTR3, built with Hexiom shock-absorbing technology, is claimed to offer up to 10 times the strength of conventional glass smart phone screen protectors.
- EYESAFE TECHNOLOGY is claimed to filter out 60% of intense blue light without adversely affecting screen colors. This is designed to protect your eyes against potentially damaging blue light, which is harmful to specialized cells known as photoreceptors located in the retina.
- ANTI-REFLECTIVE TREATMENT reduces glare on the screen. This increases contrast & makes the colors more accurate.
- SiO2-ENHANCED COATING maximizes touch sensitivity; this is a huge benefit for smooth gaming.
INSTALLATION:
Simply place your iPhone in the precise installation tray as described in the easy to follow instructions. Also included are a Microfiber Cloth, Cleaning Wipe & Dust Removal Sticker. The installation is flawless. The bubbles that are so common with screen protectors disappear as you rub your finger across this smooth screen protector.
CONCLUSION:
This ZAGG Screen Protector at first glance appears similar to its lower cost competitors. However, once you consider the benefits of GLASS XTR3, EYESAFE TECHNOLOGY, ANTI-REFLECTIVE TREATMENT & SiO2-ENHANCED COATING, the value becomes clear. This ZAGG Screen Protector earns my highest recommendation.

Yale Electronic Lock Yields Security & Convenience
on October 18, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Yale - Assure Lock 2 Smart Lock Wi-Fi with Touch Fingerprint Access perfectly blends rigorous security with the ultimate convenience of a simple touch. You also have the optional flexibility of locking or unlocking the door via your home WiFi remotely from anywhere in the world, using an app on your cellphone or smart watch. If you do not have WiFi available near this Smart Lock, simply get within 30 feet of the lock with your cellphone & it automatically switches to Bluetooth to receive your Lock or Unlock command for a solid, secure connection.

The Yale Access App is awesome! It makes setting up as many locks as you choose to install a breeze. I had already installed several Yale smart locks at my home several years ago & use a 3rd party app to control them. The Yale Access App is backward compatible & immediately discovered my existing Yale locks & paired with this new lock. It also combined my old & new Yale locks on my Apple Watch. The app can alert you whenever the lock is locked or unlocked & even identifies who activated it.

The Touch Fingerprint control is the primary difference between my existing Yale Locks & this new Assure Lock 2. The accuracy of the fingerprint control is nothing short of amazing!

If you choose, you can even voice control this smart lock with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
CONCLUSION:
This Yale Assure Lock 2 combines the highest security with incredible flexibility and convenience & earns my highest recommendation.

The Worx 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors are designed to do everything traditional handheld scissors can—and more. Powered by a rechargeable 4V Max Lithium battery, this cutting tool spins a rotating blade that can cut through various materials up to ¼” thick—including tough plastic packaging, cardboard, fabric, rubber, leather, and wrapping paper. Its self-sharpening blade keeps the edges fine to deliver a precise cut with every use. While the cutting capabilities are powerful, the ZipSnip is optimized for safety. The safety switch works in conjunction with the trigger to prevent the blade from moving unintentionally. The blade guard also blocks the sharp edge to prevent accidental cuts. The cutting tool weighs only .86 lbs. and features a textured GRIPZONE handle to optimize comfort during extended projects. And with its compact and cordless design, the ZipSnip can be conveniently maneuvered in the home, kitchen, garage, and garden. While the battery maintains its charge for several months, it can be recharged in just a few hours using the included charger—so you’ll always have a cutting tool ready to use.

A Trimming Delight That Makes Mundane Tasks Fun!
on October 6, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The WORX - 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors is a versatile tool that makes trimming & cutting a joy. I found that the hassle of cutting cardboard to fit in the recycling bin is now a simple task that I look forward to with ZipSnip. I use it to cut cardboard & those tough plastic packages that fill the retail shelves today. No more fighting those packages & getting cut with the sharp plastic edges as I stab the package with a box cutter or cut it with hand scissors.
Safety was clearly integrated into the design of ZipSnip & was not an after thought. The cutting blade cannot start rotating without pressing & holding the safety release with your thumb. This is a brilliant & most effective design that prevents unintentional activation by a person, or by being bumped in a drawer. An integrated blade guard that keeps fingers away from the rotating blade, enhancing safety even further.
The blade has a self sharpening design, making it always ready to go & reduces the battery power requirement of trying to cut with a dull blade. The 4 Volt built-in Lithium-ion battery charges completely in about 5 hours & will hold the charge for several months.
CONCLUSION:
The ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors is a well designed tool that exceeds my expectations & earns my highest recommendation.

Get early signals of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning with this three-pack of Google Nest Protect 2nd Generation smoke alarm. The Split-Spectrum Sensor detects fast and slow burning fires and lasts up to 10 years for reliable use. This Google Nest Protect 2nd Generation smoke alarm tells you where the danger is in a human voice and sends alerts to your phone via the Nest app to keep you apprised and aware.
 

If this device has no battery backup, why are batteries included in the shipping? I don't want to be awakened disputing the night because the battery needs changing. I have a 24 foot ceiling and can't climb up every three to six months to change them.

Both the electric plug-in and the battery model have Lithium Battery back-up. These batteries typically last 5 years. This is completely unlike the Smoke Alarms from years past, which often lasted only 3 to 6 months, as you pointed out.

What happens if internet connection is lost or wifi signal lost? Will you know if house is on fire if you are away? I specification 3G connectivity is mentioned, do I have to pay subscription?

There is no subscription - it uses your Wi-Fi. If you lose internet connection or lose Wi-Fi, you maintain full protection in your home, but will not know if your house is on fire if you are away.

Add color to your decorative lighting with this Philips Hue LED candelabra bulb. Its E12 profile fits chandeliers and accent lamps, and it pairs with a Hue Bridge device for integrated wireless control with your smart home system. Set a desired white light brightness or color ambience on this Philips Hue LED candelabra bulb via the Philips Hue app.
 

Why does Phillips say these bulbs are a standard e 12 chandelier bulb and you are calling B39?????

Both are correct. They mean slightly different things:
