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.

The new, redesigned Revolve60 packs enough USB-C power to charge a full-size laptop. Nowadays, most smartphones need up to 30 watts and most laptops require a minimum of 45 watts with Power Delivery (PD). Yet most surge protectors with USB-C offer only 20 watts or less. The new Revolve60 kicks out a full 60 watts of PD-enabled charging through dual USB-C ports. Armed with super conducting Gallium Nitride (GaN), Revolve60 achieves high wattages safely and more efficiently than standard silicon. For added capability, four industry-exclusive rotating outlets help you customize your setup and guard your tech against power surges and spikes.

Best of the Best Engineered Smart Surge Protector
on June 26, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
INTRODUCTION:
360 Electrical is a privately held company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They have a stellar reputation for manufacturing innovative, premium quality consumer power products & accessories. So when 360 Electrical introduced a new surge protector: "Resolve60", with 4 rotating outlets & 2 high powered USB-C, our ears perked up.
DISCOVERY:
Featuring massive 1080 Joules electrical protection from spikes & over voltage, you can trust your expensive electronics to Resolve60. My favorite features are the patented rotating electrical outlets that provide the maximum flexibility for large or small power packs (often referred to as "wall warts"). Simply rotate these outlets for the best fit. It is so frustrating to buy a 6, 10, 12 or even a 15 outlet strip with fixed outlets, only to find the oversized power adaptors won't fit side-by-side. Frequently I find only 2 to 3 power adaptors can fit, even on the best fixed outlet strip.
The 2 USB-C ports produce 60 Watt total output, enough to power a full size laptop! Most surge protectors supply 20 Watt maximum to their USB-C, enough for cell phones & barely some tablets. Even better, current is monitored so your phone, tablet & laptop get the optimum power.
CONCLUSION:
Resolve60 reduces clutter where cell phones, tablets, laptops, cameras & GoPro batteries charge. It has a stabilizing screw (simply remove the existing outlet faceplate & screw Resolve60 in) for solid mounting on the wall. Resolve60 towers head & shoulders above all competitive products for innovation, practical design & quality. It earns my Highest Recommendation!

HP Beautiful High Performance Color Laser Printer
on June 20, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
HP released a new All-in-One Color Laser Printer: the LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw. Unlike the usual industrial looking all white or black casing, this stunning beauty is cased in blue & white & is the showpiece in my well-appointed home office. Another Plus: this color laser printer is slightly smaller than the HP laser printer from 3 years ago; it measures 15 1/10” H X 16 6/10” W X 17 1/10” D.
What a performer! Maximum Print Speed (Color or Monochrome): 35 pages/min. Maximum Scanner Optical Resolution: 600 dpi; the flatbed scanner measures 8 ½” X 11 ¾”. Maximum Color Scan Speed: 37 impressions/min. (Monochrome 46 impressions/min). Recommended monthly print volume is from 1001 – 6000 with monthly duty cycle of 50,000 sheets. The generous input tray holds 250 sheets, making this printer an excellent choice for large jobs. The automatic document feeder features 50 sheet capacity.
This printer carries the highly coveted Energy Star: EPEAT Silver Certification. It handles double-sided printing & scanning. This printer can enlarge copies up to 400% & can reduce copies down to 25%.
The HP Pro MFP 4301fdw is a quiet performer. It is noticeably quieter than prior HP printers. It prints directly from MacOS, PC, iOS & Android. Set-up is the easiest of any printer I have owned. Simply plug it in, enter Wi-Fi & Password and install HP Smart app on your devices!

on May 20, 2023

Helios by Metra Home Theater Group is a brand I have preferred for years of installing home theater systems. The reason is simple; the Helios product line is innovative & their solutions are always high quality.
This Helios In-Wall Power Relocation Kit is an all inclusive kit, designed for the Do-It-Yourself installer. This kit is amazing! I love the 9' 14-gauge in-wall power cable. This extra long, heavy duty cable is ideal for installing your TV in rooms with the highest ceilings. A 6' cable is included to connect to an existing power outlet.
Other pluses for this Helios Kit are openings for HDMI, Coax, Audio, USB & other cables. These openings enable a fully appointed home theater installation without messy wires running up the wall, for a clean installation. Strong in-wall housings & attractive facia housings are included.
DIY Tools are even included in this kit: a 3" hole saw blade with T-handle that can be used with power drills, and a wire snake to pull cables in the wall.
CONCLUSION:
This Metra - Helios In-Wall Power Outlet Relocation Kit offers everything a DIY installer needs to conceal power & accessory wires for a clean Home Theater installation. It earns my highest recommendation.

Sensi Touch 2 is the New King of Smart Thermostats
on April 28, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Sensi Touch 2 is a Smart Programmable Wi-Fi Thermostat whose performance absolutely blew me away! This precision thermostat, model # ST76, is manufactured by Emerson, a company founded in 1890 in St. Louis, MO.
I have installed many thermostats during the past 25 years & installed every brand of smart thermostats since they came into existence. Smart thermostats are extremely useful, since they can be controlled remotely and can change temperature if you are home or away.
Most Smart thermostats are made by electronics companies, not by thermostat manufacturers. The accuracy of most smart thermostats is disappointing, compared to the most accurate thermostats in the past. Many tend to overshoot with extended run & off times, resulting in a 3 degree room temperature swing. In the winter, your house feels cold, or too warm & the furnace runs a long time.
Sensi 2 uses proven Emerson thermostat technology. I verified this with a precision digital thermal scanning gun. Accuracy was +/- 1/2 degree!! This is absolutely incredible for a smart thermostat! In addition to this accuracy, it has a unique feature that allows you to calibrate & set the thermostat's own display reference temperature using an external precision thermometer. Finally, you can adjust the dwell (temperature regulation on / off cycle rate) to choice of 3) levels. So if you want the 1/2 degree temperature accuracy, set it for "faster". Or if you prefer fewer on / off HVAC cycles, set it for "slower". Or default in the middle.
I purchased 3) remote Sensi Room Sensors for this thermostat; they are sold separately as options. Again, Emerson offers superior performance than the round Smart Thermostat that I removed: simply check all of the sensors (located up to 100 feet away) that you want to include on your smart phone & it takes an average of the collective temperatures & humidity throughout your home. Most thermostats only allow you to choose one remote sensor to monitor at a time.
CONCLUSION:
With such amazing accuracy & performance plus Alexa & Google Home compatibility, Sensi 2 is the undisputed king of the Smart Thermostat choices. It earns my highest recommendation!

Quality Headphones at a Bargain Price
on April 21, 2023
Posted by: gadgetguy11
The Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Headphone with Microphone offer tremendous sound at a bargain price. These are well built, light weight , comfortable headphones. Classified as "On-Ear", they fit comfortably against your ears with gentle ear cushions. They weigh a feather weight 5.185 Ounces!
Sony encourages use of its companion app, and you definitely want to do this. There is a graphic equalizer built into the app for tweaking the sound that best suits your preference. The most amazing feature of the app is: "Clear Bass". It is absolutely unbelievable!! Clear Bass cranks up the bass, maximizing the capabilities of the 30mm drivers, while keeping distortion low. I have never heard headphones that "Rock" like these for anywhere near their bargain price! I would never have believed the bass had I not heard them for myself. Also included on the app is the ability to analyze ear shape to maximize the sound profile.
The integrated Bluetooth Specification Version 5.2 is solid to about 33 feet (10 meters) & connects effortlessly.
The battery is estimated to hold a charge up to 50 hours when using as simply active headphones; deduct 10 hours when used for continuous communication.
CONCLUSION:
Without question, these Sony WH-CH520 headphones offer the best sound & build quality for the buck. They are a phenomenal bargain & I highly recommend them!

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.
Is this bulb weatherproof? I’m wanting it to go in a lighting fixture next to my front door. The fixture is partially enclosed so I’m worried about moisture damage.
HUE bulbs work GREATin outdoor fixtures. While not rated as waterproof, they are not bothered by the moisture. I have a number of HUE bulbs in outdoor fixtures & have for several years. I power each bulb 8 hours / day. Not one has given a minute's trouble.

Definitive Technology W9: Enjoy your music with deep bass and a wide audio range. Fill even the largest rooms with the clear sound of your favorite Internet radio stations and custom playlists.
Can I connect to this from a newer laptop/tablet that has wireless built in, and play it using whatever application I am in aka windows media player/youtube etc, or do I have to have a digital library on a drive somewhere?.
Great questions!! It depends...
Yes, you can connect to a newer laptop / tablet (I source from iPad Pro).
No, you cannot play it using whatever application you are in aka windows media player/youtube etc.
But you can source from Pandora, Sirius XM, iHeart Radio,etc.
No, you do not need a digital library on a drive somewhere, as this is designed to convey music from a streaming source.
I also source from an App known as Airfoil. It allows you to stream media from the internet through iTunes.
Sorry the answer is so ambiguous. You may wish to Google Airfoil App, to see whether it might help you. The short summary is: you cannot do exactly what you were hoping to do, but you can stream a wide variety of sources through your tablet & the sound quality is awesome! I attached 2 photos of my W9's, set to stream Sirius XM through Airfoil.

I Have This Unit , For About 6 Months, Recently I Notice The Protection And Grounded Indicator Lights Went Out. Is This A Failure Of The Unit?
Check the resettable circuit breaker, which is a flush mounted on/off switch on top to be sure it is in the on position.
Next,
Plug something else in the wall outlet where the Rocketfish protector plugs in to verify power is present.

Can this be mounted to the bottom on a desk?
YES, it can be mounted upside down under a desk - and already has mounting holes built-in. The low profile design is perfect for this, as it will tuck away, very near the desk surface.

Can this sound bar be used with warless rear speakers? If so has anyone done this?
No, this Soundbar uses phase conversion to achieve very realistic rear surround sound - must hear to believe it. There is no way to wirelessly or wire rear speakers to it. The wireless sub works great.

Samsung SmartThings Hub: Use your compatible smartphone as a remote for your home's smart thermostat, locks, lights and other smart devices when you download the SmartThings app and connect to this hub, which offers up to 100' range to reach smart devices throughout your home. A battery backup provides peace of mind.
Would this hub be able to mate with sercomm ip cameras?
This is not likely, Jake. The SmartThings Hub works as advertised, but is very limited to devices it recognizes. I have 10) cameras in my home. This hub does not recognize most of them. It is a safe bet it will not work with Sercomm IP Cameras.
