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.

on September 15, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11

The 95 MB/S high transfer speed comes to life, as your data transfers instantly; no buttons to push & no fuss.
A protective cap covers each end, protecting the USB-C & the USB-A connectors. The caps are brilliantly designed to fit on the back of the other cap, so you never have to sit a cap down & forget it.

Versatile Keyboard is a Phenomenal Performer
on September 15, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Logitech, a company whose name is synonymous with quality & innovation, was founded in 1981 in Lausanne, Switzerland. They excel by focusing on products that function in the digital world.
This new Logitech Pebble Keys 2 (Model # K380S) is a Bluetooth wireless keyboard designed to control 3) devices with a slim & portable profile, making it perfect for business travel.
Battery life is up to a stunning 2-years! Economical alkaline batteries are included with this keyboard.
I love the smooth feel of the scooped out round keys. They have no annoying click, because this keyboard uses scissor technology, rather than mechanical switches. While these keys do not offer the tactile feedback of mechanical switches, they are superb for use in a quiet environment.
I found the Shortcut keys to be well placed & useful. You control volume up / down & media playback / pause. Shortcut keys also allow for Copy / Paste, as well as other common functions.
CONCLUSION:
Pebble Keys 2 is the best compact wireless keyboard I have tested. Key spacing is ideal; my "error rate" of hitting adjacent keys accidentally was virtually non existent, when compared to a laptop keyboard. Considering the stellar battery life, keyboard compact size, premium quality feel & control of 3 devices, Pebble Keys 2 earns my highest recommendation.

A Precision Gaming Masterpiece
on September 13, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Logitech "G" products are well established for producing the Top-of-the-Line Championship Winning Gaming devices. Living up to such a time-proven legacy raises eyebrows whenever Logitech G introduces a new product. As expected, The new PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 LIGHTSPEED is all about WINNING.
Featuring 2K polling & USB-C charging, it weighs a meager 2.12 ounces. The built-in Lithium Polymer batteries last up to 95 hours of constant motion. This amazing mouse glides smoother than any I have ever tested, thanks to zero-additive PTFE mouse feet.
The most stunning feature that provides the backbone for ultimate reliability is the Hero 2 Sensor, which is recognized as the the most advanced sensor in gaming. LIGHTSPEED wireless connectivity is another proven asset; the LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical - mechanical switches provide the highest level of precision, and low latency, while producing tactile feedback with a clearly defined click.
I bought the optional charging coin from Logitech. Simply rotate the bottom cover, remove the round plastic disk & replace it with the charging coin. This enables my existing Logitech PowerPlay Wireless Charging System to keep the mouse batteries at peak performance.
CONCLUSION:
This Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 LIGHTSPEED mouse is built for the highest levels of competition & it earns my highest recommendation.

Buy the App and Prepay Annual Renewal to Activate
on August 15, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
McAfee® Privacy & Identity Guard is a product designed to enhance the safety of your devices, credit cards, bank accounts, tax ID, driver's licenses & health ID's.
But, before you decide to drop your hard earned dollars for this Privacy & Identity Guard, here are a few concerns:
1- No Free Trial. If you want to try this product to see if it is worth the cost, McAfee requires you buy it in advance in order to hook you up. They offer a 30 Day Refund, but exercising that option is not an easy task.
2- Even after you purchase McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard, you cannot activate the product until you give McAfee your credit card & sign up for automatic annual renewal! The activation page states that you can "cancel at any time". I decided to cancel my automatic annual renewal immediately after activating the product, to provide a year of experience, after which I may or may not choose to renew the subscription. Cancelling the automatic renewal was a very tedious process & required assistance from Customer Service. If McAfee® Privacy & Identity Guard is a worthy investment, why make it so difficult to obtain the advertised refund? When I was finally able to cancel the Auto Renewal, a pop up ad came on constantly requesting me to sign up again and again.
CONCLUSION:
I entered all personal data, banking information & credit cards on Mac OS & received this reply: "Great news! You don't have any new breaches." That is a relief!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stellar Audio Earbuds with Awesome Build Quality
on August 14, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
Technics HiFi True Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancelling and 3 Device Multipoint Connectivity with Wireless Charging are phenomenal performers! Featuring a beautiful design, these black aluminum encased earbuds clearly show state-of-the-art engineering & are IPX4 rated water resistant. The most impressive feature that I appreciate is 3 device multipoint. For example, you can connect to an iPhone, connect to an Android Phone or your laptop, and connect to your Bluetooth-enabled smart watch!
Sound quality is absolute Technics quality all the way, with strong bass, crystal clear high frequencies & great dynamic range.
The battery life is outstanding: With Active Noise Cancelling activated, expect 7 hours. The very attractive Qi charging case provides 24 hours back-up. A quick charge yields 70 minutes of audio.
Noise Cancellation on these Technics AZ60M2 Earbuds is the best I have ever heard! The 8 built-in microphones are used in forward & backward direction, resulting in the clearest phone conversations & the most effective noise cancellation.
The Technics Audio Connect app works with onboard touch sensors to control track direction, talking / ending calls & many more features.
CONCLUSION:
These Technics True Wireless Earbuds are sure to satisfy the most demanding audiophile, while offering the extreme convenience of connecting 3 Bluetooth devices. They earn my highest recommendation!

30,000 dpi Optical Resolution, 11 Lighting Zones
on August 6, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Razer Cobra Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse with Chroma RGB Lighting and 10 Customizable Controls is an awesome gaming mouse. There are 3) items on the bottom of the mouse:
1- Bluetooth / Off / 2.4 GHz slide switch
2- Profile Button
3- A Puck, which is removable & covers a storage compartment for the dongle.
Being able to switch from Bluetooth to 2.4GHz or wired on the fly can be a life saver. It enables you to set up the mouse very quickly at a guest location without connecting the dongle. The 2.4 GHz Hyperspeed connection delivers virtually no lag wireless results with up to 1000 Hz polling rate, while the battery lasts 100 Hrs at constant motion. Switching to Bluetooth increases battery life to 125 Hrs., but the mouse shows a lag during wake-up. The included USB-C cable plugs into the mouse, allowing wired operation.
The rubberized texture surrounding this mouse offers a comfortable feel & is so much easier to control than hard plastic. It just feels right in your hand.
The lighting is very well done, but to customize lighting & many other features requires the Razer Synapse software, which I found cumbersome.
CONCLUSION:
Razer Cobra Pro is my new favorite mouse, both for gaming & for desktop computing. The lag free operation, feel & weight are ideal. It earns my highest recommendation.

Gimbal Best Suited for Professional Videographers
on July 31, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Zhiyun Smooth 5S is a tool designed to help the videographer produce professional looking video, without shaking or jerky movements. This Gimbal Stabilizer is 3-Axis; it actually has 3 independent servomotors that control camera movement in 3 directions.
This Gimbal is made of high quality materials so it feels solid & stable in your hand. It held my iPhone 14 Pro Max in a Speck Case, but the Gimbal feels heavy connected to this phone.
The instructions are not translated into English clearly. I really struggled to learn proper set-up because of the Chinese labels.
I hit the Power Button by accident several times, killing the power to the Gimbal & ruining my video, since there is nothing to help identify the Power Button without turning your eyes away from the camera. You first balance your phone; then power up the Gimbal & select which axis motors you want to stabilize your shooting.
CONCLUSION:
The Zhiyun Smooth 5S is a potentially useful, albeit unrefined tool. The Gimbal is solid, but the Chinese based App is the weakest link. In order to access advanced features, you must pay for their use through the App, which is loaded with Chinese characters. This Gimbal could be useful in the hands of a Professional Videographer, but would likely be a difficult task for the Amateur.

Power of Upright Vacuum in the Palm of Your Hand
on July 8, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Dyson V11 Extra Cordless Vacuum is a powerhouse! This is a beautiful piece of equipment that has been engineered for ease of use & durability. Included with this cordless vacuum are a number of accessories & a wall mount that allows it to be hung on the wall. Simply lift the vacuum, place it in the holster & it charges the internal batteries while storing it neatly against the wall.
Dyson improves their cordless vacuums and releases new models with higher model numbers. This V11 Extra offers additional features, such as a washable filter. Simply twist the cover, remove, shake out & rinse the filter. A welcome addition for pet owners is the de-tangling vanes that separate long hair & pet hair from the pick-up brush as you vacuum. This saves a tremendous amount of time & effort when you pick up a lot of hair.
The most impressive benefit in operating the V11 Extra, in my experience, is the shear pick-up power that is amazingly similar to a plug-in upright vacuum, without the fuss of dealing with the power cord.
CONCLUSION:
This is an extremely powerful & well designed tool. Choose 3 levels of cleaning power by a touch button that will provide up to 60 minutes of cleaning. This Dyson V11 Extra 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:
