Premium Quality Camera Mount
on August 4, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Wasserstein Premium Universal Mount for Smart Cameras is precisely made to support virtually any camera with the standard 1/4" - 20 thread receptacle. It is ideal for ARLO & NEST Cameras.
It secures tightly by hand & does not back off, so the camera does not tilt because of the weight of the camera. The white finish is an exact match to the ARLO cameras. Because of the plastic construction, this camera mount can withstand the harshest environment with rain, sleet or snow.
Priced very competitively as a Generic Camera Mount, this is a very inexpensive but precision made bracket. I highly recommend it.

Air Purifier Fights Allergens & Enhances Comfort
on June 27, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
INTRODUCTION
The Shark - Air Purifier 6 with Advanced Odor Lock and Fumes Lock is a machine that exceeds expectations & is a most welcome addition to our home. It measures 32" High X 17" Wide X 9" Deep. I chose it to fight Allergens because of it's Multi-Filters. It delivered that & so much more than I anticipated!
Featuring 6) high output fans that expel air out the sides while intaking air through the HEPA rear-mounted filter, it is clearly designed for a large room. Shark recommends it for a room up to 230 square feet.
Touch the large round button on the remote, or the touch sensitive panel to start the Shark. It sniffs out the air, determines the level of impurities & displays this on a large easy-to-read number on the front panel. The unit begins in Auto mode, where the fans start up on the 1st of 4 speeds. As the built-in Clean Sense IQ detects Allergens & other air impurities, greater air purification is required. The fans automatically accelerate up to the appropriate speed.
THEATRICAL AIR CIRCULATION
I was "Blown Away" by how much more comfortable a large room feels with this Air Purifier in operation. I placed it within the specified 3" from a side wall in our 17' X 30' Home Theatre (510 Square Feet). The Theatre is in the basement, so the temperature is steady but air seldom moves, unless the HVAC is heating or cooling the house. The 6) fans are so powerful, it circulates air & adds a very comfortable feel to the room, augmented by the moving air flow.
For maximum circulation, choose Fan Speed #4 from the remote. The remote has a long range & reaches the Tower 30 feet away, on the other side of the room. However, Fan Speed #4 moves so much air, that the sound of moving air can interfere with a movie or concert in the Theatre, unless that program material is loud. So I choose Fan Speed #2 or #3 & the results are ideal. All fan speeds are incredibly quiet, considering the CFM (Cubic Feet / Minute) that it outputs.
The large Air Quality Display circled by a ring that changes color, based on Air Quality, is adjustable from the remote from Full Brightness, to Dim, to Dark (Off). This is perfect for a dark bedroom or theatre, as the bright light could otherwise prove a distraction. See attached photos. Click on the Air Info button for details about pollutants in the air.
CONCLUSION
The Shark Air Purifier 6 is the highest quality Air Purifier I have experienced. Yet it achieves so much more than simply clean the air. It actually makes the room feel more comfortable by circulating the air, because of the 6) high power fans. I highly recommend this premium quality product!

Precision Top-Of-The-Line Tweezer
on June 21, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Tweezerman Slant Tweezer is a precision instrument that takes the frustration out of plucking difficult-to-pull hair, only to have the tweezers lose their grip & having to start all over again. These tweezers feature wide contact areas with precision ground surfaces. Hair simply does not have a chance when gripped by Tweezerman.
The tension built into this stainless steel instrument is accurately calibrated, so you enjoy a comfortable feel and maintain precise control.
To minimize pain & prepare the hair for removal, Tweezerman recommends that you first apply a warm washcloth to the skin surface in order to open up pores.
Included with the tweezer is a slip-on clear protective cover, to keep from scratching or damaging the hand-filed tips during storage.
Tweezerman even offers a FREE lifetime resharpening; just drop them in a padded envelope & send them to Tweezerman in Port Washington, NY. Their address is listed on their website. You only pay for shipping them to Tweezerman; the sharpening & return shipping are completely free.
CONCLUSION:
I had no clue that such a precision tweezer existed before experiencing the Tweezerman Slant Tweezer. It is offered in a choice of colors. As you see in my photos, I chose Midnight Sky. These tweezers far exceeded my expectations & I highly recommend them!

Cordless Professional Grade Hair and Beard Trimmer

Precision Top-Of-The-Line Trimmer
on May 16, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Bevel - Cordless Professional Grade Hair and Beard Trimmer is a professional machine that is so far superior to the best models from all of the highly advertised competitive name brands, it is difficult to describe.
This Trimmer produces precise lines in your hair, without a miss or an inexact result. It is perfectly balanced, made out of metal, not plastic & is clearly built to last. The shape is unlike any other trimmer I have owned, for a good reason: it allows you to get a serious grip on the rubber surface very near the blade that is just above the 12-sided aluminum body. This rubber grip is extremely important, because it provides a non slip surface.
Amazingly, despite tremendous power, this trimmer does not heat up on a lengthy job. It literally keeps its cool.
The blade snaps off without the use of tools. Snap it off & adjust to zero gap without touching a screwdriver.
The rechargeable battery is rated at 6+ hours of continuous use. I used this trimmer for 5 consecutive days & the battery has not shown the first sign of needing a charge, so the factory claim appears to be correct. It can stand for 180 days without use & still hold its charge.
There is no painful hair pulling, a customary occurrence with lesser trimmers when their batteries weaken. This pain free trim is mostly due to the extremely high speed 6000 strokes / minute.
CONCLUSION:
This Bevel Trimmer raises the bar for the best trimmer that I have ever experienced, both at home & at a barber. I am thrilled with it's performance & recommend it unequivocally!

Raycop’s most powerful full-size cordless stick vacuum to-date.

Budget Priced Cordless Stick Vacuum
on April 25, 2021
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The RAYCOP - Omni Power UV+ Cordless Stick Allergen Vacuum includes a separate brush head with built-in germ killing UV light. I own the Dyson Stick Vacuum V11 Absolute, the Dyson V10 Absolute, and Qty: 3) Dyson V8 Absolute. Here is a summary of the Pro's & Con's of this Stick Vacuum as compared with the Dyson Stick Vacuums:
PRO'S:
1- Color (White) is Beautiful / Clean looking & Modern. I prefer the White look to the Black, Gold, and orange of my other stick vacuums.
2- Cost. The RAYCOP is half the cost of the Dyson V10 Absolute & $100 lower than half the cost of the V11 Absolute. The RAYCOP is approximately the same cost as the Dyson V8, which was introduced around 2016.
3- Carpet / Hardwood Dual Brush Head converts with the touch of your foot.
4- Wall Hanging Bracket Included.
5- Removable Rechargeable Battery.
6- The 4) filters are washable; no need to replace them.
7- A Sanitizing Vacuum head is included. I tried it on bathroom floors. It is designed to kill germs by the onboard UV bulb. I have no way to evaluate it's effectiveness.
CON'S:
1- Loud, high pitch noise is very irritating. It is substantially louder than any Dyson.
2- The wall mount does not integrate with the power cord needed to charge the vacuum. You hang the vacuum on the wall bracket, then plug / unplug the power cord separately. Unlike the Dyson, which not only integrates the charging power cord in the wall mount, it actually hides the wire for a premium quality appearance, the RAYCOP requires the entire length of the wire to show in a messy, unsightly manner on your wall.
3- Removing / reinstalling the dust bin illustrates the biggest lack of engineering in the design. It is a snapping catch that requires 2 hands and a lot of patience. It is the opposite of the click, handsfree one button release on the Dyson.
4- Push the power button with your thumb on the RAYCOP (rather than a common sense traditional trigger), then wait for the motor to start. This is the only vacuum I have used that has such a long delay between pushing the Start button & hearing the motor start.
Need more power or doubt if you pushed it fully because the motor has not started yet? Press it a second time. Need still more power? Press it a third time. Want to switch to lower power to extend battery life? You have to keep pressing the power button until you cycle back to the beginning.
By contrast, the Dyson V11 switches 3 speeds automatically, depending on the torque actually needed by the brush head, or touch a button to manually override the automatic function. The V8 features a thumb selector switch for instant direct access to the various speeds.
5- Battery Life. I get 20 minutes, unless I keep the power to the lowest speed. In that case, I get approximately 30 minutes of battery life. RAYCOP claims 40 minutes.
6- Lift the brush head off if the floor and the motor stops on the brush head! I at first thought the unit was defective, as this eliminates the possibility of vacuuming any surface except horizontal. Dangle the head & tilt it the right way & it starts again.
7- The plastic crevasse tool attachment appears fragile & I doubt it will survive an active household.
8- The battery snaps into the vacuum head & makes electrical contact with it. Due to apparent build quality issues, I had to install & remove the battery from the plastic brush head multiple times before securing a dependable electrical connection. After pressing the battery very firmly into the vacuum head approximately 10 times, the electric power from the battery finally allowed the vacuum head to start.
9- Power, even on the 3rd (highest power) level, is less than the Dyson V8, yet the motor is screaming.
10- The 4) filters are a pain to deal with when emptying the vacuum.
11- The attachments, such as the extension tube & brush head, require you to push & hold a release button while inserting the attachments. This is awkward & requires a 2-hand maneuver.
12- The UV Head does not swivel, making proper cleaning difficult.
13- Only one battery is included. RAYCOP negated the benefit of a removable battery by not including a second battery. This would have properly addressed the short battery life issue, as well.
14- To check the battery level, you have to turn the vacuum on, then observe the 3) battery condition LED's. The Dyson & other brands feature a battery indicator that does not require energizing the vacuum.
15- The dual power Brush Head is more narrow than the Dyson, making the RAYCOP better suited as a quick picker-upper than as a vacuum for your entire floor, as this vacuum will require more passes, due to the narrow head.
16- The balance of weight on your hand is awkward. Unlike any Dyson, where the balance is engineered for low effort support, holding the RAYCOP is a chore, as your hand is constantly attempting to support the vacuum at the angle necessary to vacuum the floor. The location of the removable battery, the vacuum head & the dual brush do not appear to have been located in such a way as to achieve a balanced integrated unit.
CONCLUSION:
The RAYCOP Omni Power UV+ Cordless Stick Allergen Vacuum appears to target the low budget portion of the Stick Vacuum market. It offers some attractive features for the price. The primary selling points are the low price & the Germ killing UV Light. However, anyone considering this vacuum may wish to research the effectiveness of UV light & the amount of time the light needs to be over the surface area to actually kill germs. Due to the noise level, the difficult to remove dirt chamber, the inability to operate the Power Head on vertical surfaces & other aforementioned drawbacks, I do not recommend this Stick Vacuum.

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

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!

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.
