Power 2) Tablets Simultaneously On The Road
on November 6, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I had a "Brand-X": 12 Volt to USB Adaptor which charged my iPhone, but did not have enough power to power my iPad in the car. The Belkin - Dual USB-A Car Charger 24W + USB-A to USB-C™ Cable includes 2) USB ports, both capable of 12 Watts output each. This means you can power & charge two of the largest tablets available today (any brand) at the same time!
A well made USB-A to USB-C cable is included to charge or power your phone. It is long enough to be practical in your vehicle, measuring just over 3 feet. I keep this cable for future use, as my iPad & iPhone, as well as my wife's, use Lightning connectors & we already have USB to Lighting Cables.
A power indicator LED just above the 2) USB ports illuminates when power is available.
The Car Charger is black & is finished in a textured surface, to assist you gripping it, as you plug it in or remove it from the vehicle 12 volt power outlet.
CONCLUSION: This is a premium quality car charger with the look & feel that blends with any vehicle interior. With the ability to charge 2) tablets, phones, or a combination of 2) simultaneously, I highly recommend it.

Wireless Battery Powered 1080P Security Camera
on October 30, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Arlo - Essential Spotlight Camera – Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 1080p Security Camera offers easy installation with a completely wireless design. No external power required. The included rechargeable battery is estimated to last 6 month between charges! It measures a trim 3.5” x 2” X 3” and only weighs 3/4 lb.
I was thrilled with the sharp, clear 1080P video quality. I view this camera both on my Google Home and my Alexa Show. It even sends alerts to my Apple Watch! This is my only security camera that produces a color image at night. The camera senses motion up to 23 feet. This covers my driveway completely, so I am immediately alerted to visitors on foot or in their car as they enter our yard.
This camera has a built-in spot light, which can be activated by action. It also features 2-way voice between the person watching the phone, Google Home or Alexa Show, and the person being captured by the camera. It actually has a built-in microphone and speaker. The voice is clear, helped by built-in noise cancellation.
An optional solar panel is available to keep the camera battery charged, so you never have to use the included battery charging cable. This is a very smart option, as it makes the camera completely maintenance free.
CONCLUSION: I use several security camera manufacturers’ cameras inside and outside of my house. Most require 120 Volt AC power. I use this camera on the side of the house that has no power available. It is the perfect camera for this application. In fact, this weather resistant camera works so well & lasts so long on it’s battery, that I plan to buy several more Arlo Essential cameras for outside viewing. I highly recommend it.

Reliable WIFI Smart Dimmer with Touch Control
on October 29, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The WEMO WIFI Smart Dimmer is the most reliable & feature rich dimmer I have installed to date. It is easy to recognize: WEMO is the dimmer with the finger slide groove from top to bottom. That matches the WEMO app, so you have seamless operational control, whether at the switch or at the WEMO app.
Both my Alexa (Amazon Echo) devices and my OK Google (Google Home) devices connected instantly with WEMO. Just go to the Alexa app & the Google Home app and set each skill to connect to WEMO. Name the WEMO dimmer in the WEMO app (i.e. Bedroom, Dining Room, etc.). You now have voice control of WEMO!
You can control WEMO directly at the switch, from the WEMO app, by voice with Alexa & Google Home, even with Apple HomeKit, and because it is WIFI, you can control it from anywhere in the world.
A long touch on the dimmer switch will hold the light at the desired level. The WEMO app includes many options, i.e. timers, fade out parameters, Night Mode, etc. Note: the white neutral wire is required for operation. WEMO will replace a single switch only; it is not compatible with a 3-Way switch.
CONCLUSION: WEMO WIFI Smart Dimmer offers the widest range of control options in a very sleek package. WEMO is dependable & works every time. The WEMO app offers incredible options. It is very easy to install & program and is backed by a 3-year Belkin warranty. I highly recommend it; in fact, I just bought 2 more from Best Buy.

Powerhouse Camera in a Slim, Attractive Package
on October 15, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I admit, I was not expecting great things with the CODi HD 1080P WebCam. I had a larger Webcam that sits on my monitor from a company that advertises frequently; I was unfamiliar with this Codi HD Camera. My wife needed a high resolution Webcam for a National Conference that was cancelled & replaced with an In-Home Conference where participation with a HD Webcam was required. I selected it primarily because of it's 1080P specification. I was blown away by the premium quality, high level of detail, super ease of set-up & the slim, attractive package.
This camera is precision built. It sits on top of my wife's 34" 4K Monitor or on a laptop with a foldable bracket.
To set it up, on MacOS, simply plug it into USB. On Windows 10, plug it in, go to the Start Menu. Select Camera, then select this camera if the laptop already has a camera built-in.
The slim camera body is approximately 1/6th the size of the Logitech WebCam on my computer, yet it offers the same 1080P & the photo & video quality are supurb!
Switch selectable between 4:3 Ratio for a conventional photo or 16:9 Ratio for a wide panorama.
CONCLUSION: I highly recommend the CODi HD 1080P WebCam. It offers everything you might want in a WebCam. It exceeds expectations & has earned a permanent place on my wife's 34" 4K Monitor.

Tiny Clock with MEGA Capabilities
on October 15, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is a Smart Clock with integrated Google Assistant. Measuring a tiny 4.5"W X 3"H at the front & it tapers down dramatically in the back. With it's Soft Touch Gray, it blends in & fits in virtually every room. See 6 photos I posted, showing the very attractive shape.
This Smart Clock offers the full power of the Google Assistant by simply saying: "Hey, Google". I use it to set wake-up alarms, turn lights on & off using various Smart Switches & Smart Bulbs throughout the house; it even plays music! I check to make sure I locked the doors & lock any that are unlocked. The small size of this powerful Smart Clock belies it's amazing capabilities.
One of my favorite features is displaying the outdoor temperature below the time. This is the default screen with which this Lenovo ships. I find it so useful, I am keeping that screen unchanged.
CONCLUSION: I have many places for this most useful tool: the Master Bedroom, the 2) Guest Bedrooms, any of 5 Bathrooms, even in my Home Office. There is no other device near this size that performs with the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential. I highly recommend it.

Professional Speakerphone for the Home
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Anker PowerConference Bluetooth Speakerphone is a powerhouse that brings professional level conference calling to the home. Measuring just under 5" square by about 1 1/4" high, it is completely self contained with massive battery power onboard: 6,700mAh to be exact. This battery provides 24 hour call time.
One of my favorite features is that the Anker serves as a battery charger for your cell phone! A portable power pack is one less item I do not need to carry on trips, since it is built-in.
Those familiar with using Amazon Echo & Echo Plus ("Alexa") are familiar with far field sound pick up. This speakerphone embodies the exact technology, including 6 built-in microphones that pick up voices from a moderate sized conference room to a home office. All voices are amplified and processed so they sound the same volume to the listener. My use is 1-2 people in a home office. Voices are picked up clearly and at equal volume, despite varying distance from the speakerphone and sound as clearly as if we are holding a cell phone.
Another feature I like is the Bluetooth connectivity. It simply works with any cell phone.
CONCLUSION: The Anker Bluetooth Speakerphone is a practical addition to the traveler & to a home office. It includes the massive battery to charge cell phones, it connects simply by Bluetooth, and most importantly, it captures clear, equal volume voices. I highly recommend it.

Mouth Watering Entrees at the Touch of a Button
on September 16, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Crockpot Express Crock 8 QT Multi Cooker w/ Crisping Lid is an All-In-One Kitchen Appliance that really gets it right. I already owned a pressure cooker, 2) Air Fryers, & a Warmer. So I wrestled with acquiring an additional product that seemed on paper to duplicate what I already owned. I am so glad I did not hesitate!
First off, the lid is clearly marked with lock / unlock labels. No fussing, twisting back and forth to place the lid on the cooker. Simply line up the lock or unlock marks and rotate the lid from Unlock to Lock & the opposite to remove it. The lid moves smoothly & precisely every time, locking in place. The performance is worlds apart from my off-brand Air Fryer, on which I have to guess where the lid needs to start, and turn it back-and-forth until it hopefully closes. It never fit well. Crockpot nailed it!
Secondly, this Crockpot has 8 Quart capacity. It is just the right size for a load of ribs (see photo), Chicken breasts, or a tantalizing brisket. Most multi-cookers are a mere 6 quarts or less.
Thirdly, the pot itself is non-stick Teflon coated. Clean-up of sticky, BBQ Ribs & sauce was a simple matter of hot water & soap. Easiest clean-up ever! The aluminum pot offers superior heat dissipation for even cooking. Most Multi-Cookers use a Stainless pot that require scrubbing & dishwasher cleaning.
Next, the outer container that surrounds the pot is even Teflon coated! So any overspill from the pot can easily be wiped clean.
The Crisping Lid is an amazing tool! Simply sit it on top of the Crockpot (it only fits one way). It makes electric contact as you sit it down. Placing the Crisping Lid automatically sets a timer for 15 minutes. It blasts your food with hot convection air. You can add or subtract time, but 15 minutes was perfect for the baby back ribs. The ribs are golden brown from the Crisping Lid & fall off the bone because of the pressure cooker. Immortal entrees!
DISLIKES: The Power Cord is too short. It is only a 2 foot long 18 Ga plug-in cord. Most countertop appliances have a 4 foot to a 6 foot long 18 Ga cord. Thankfully, the cord unplugs from the cooker and a longer replacement cord / plug can be purchased economically virtually anywhere. I replaced the 2 foot cord with a 6 foot 18 Ga cord.
CONCLUSIONS: This Crockpot is a Premium Quality product, indicative of the quality for which Crockpot built an impressive reputation. Sitting next to a lesser Air Fryer or a pressure cooker, the fit and finish of the Crockpot really stands out. I Highly recommend it!

Ultimate 2X 12 Watt Power Adaptor Apple Certified
on September 4, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
My wife & I each pack an iPad Pro, an iPhone 11 Pro Max & an Apple Watch on our trips. Each iPad Pro requires a 12 Watt charger. I have tried a few dual chargers in the past, but most are limited to charging an iPad & an iPhone. Attempting to charge 2) iPads simultaneously often over heated the chargers, which were not Apple Certified.
This Belkin BOOST CHARGE 24W is Apple Certified to produce 2) simultaneous 12 Watt outlets without overheating. Being Apple Certified eliminates any concerns about damaging your iPad or iPhone and there are no alerts on the device about using an incompatible Power Adaptor.
The wall plug neatly tucks away into the Power Adaptor for a smooth, low profile appearance when not in use. This allows for efficient "snag free" packing.
The included USB / Lightning connector is heavy duty & has a strain relief built into both ends. It is thicker & much more durable than the lightning cable included with an iPad Pro.
The Power Adaptor has a pleasant, slightly rough, non stick surface, so it is far less likely to slip out of your hands than customary high gloss, slippery chargers.
CONCLUSION: the Belkin - BOOST CHARGE 24W Apple MFi Certified 3.3' Power Adapter is brilliantly designed & is already packed in our TUMI travel bag! As soon as it is safe to resume travel after Covid-19, we are ready! I highly recommend this Power Adaptor!

The Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 8-qt. 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology. The first air fryer with 2 independent baskets that let you cook 2 foods at once, not back-to-back like a traditional single-basket air fryer. With 6-in-1 versatility, you can Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat or Dehydrate in each 4-qt zone for quick family meals. XL 8-qt capacity lets you cook mains and sides at the time, and now with Smart Finish Technology you can sync the settings from each zone so both foods cook accurately and finish together.

Kitchen Appliance Doubles Efficiency & Fun!
on September 4, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Ninja Foodi 2 Basket Air Fryer is an extremely versatile appliance that is sure to bring a smile to virtually any home chef today.
Featuring large capacity, this is an 8-quart, 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology. Before you snap one up, be sure to note the footprint is approximately 15" W X 14" D including the 2) handles. Yes, it takes up sizable real estate on your counter, but it is Oh, so worth it!
Each basket is fully independent. My wife fried sausage in one & a pastry in the other. See photos of the delicious results, on our first time use! The coolest feature is how pressing the Sync button, the onboard computer starts the first basket immediately, determines the time required for the remaining basket & starts it so they finish at the same time! This lets you fry the main course & side dishes in a separate basket at different temperatures, knowing they will finish at the same time!
Each basket will Air Fry, Dehydrate, Roast or Reheat independently of the other basket. Not only is each basket capable of performing either of these 4) techniques separately from the other basket, each has it's own heating element, fan & computer control.
Clean-up is a breeze! The baskets are coated with a heavy duty non-stick surface over aluminum for effortless clean-up plus excellent thermal conductivity & durability. The crisper plates are dishwasher safe. There are no other parts to clean!
CONCLUSION:
If you are familiar with operating an Air Fryer, you will feel immediately at home. If this is your first Air Fryer, you avoid making the common mistake of buying one too small with this XL 8-quart Air Fryer. The quick start instructions are very helpful. It works, feels, sounds & the food smells just like our older single basket Air Fryer, with 2ce the convenience & with capacity large enough to do serious cooking! I Highly Recommend the Ninja Foodi 2 Basket Air Fryer!

Best Nose Trimmer & the Least Expensive!
on August 23, 2020
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I buy a new nose hair trimmer when they either break, or simply stop performing. This time, I gave the Philips Norelco a try. The cost is 1/4th the cost of the last nose trimmer I bought, which broke after a year. I was concerned about the durability because it is bargain priced. Turns out, there was no need for concern.
I have been blown away so far. Most important: It trims nose hair much more successfully than any previous unit I owned. Simply rotate it within each nostril. The sound of it destroying hairs is amazing. When the sound dies down, it is finished. look at your nose. You won't believe how great this trimmer works!
The attachments are for nose trimming, eyebrow trimming, mustache grooming & ear hair removal. They even included a carry pouch, a clean-up brush & instructions with many photos showing how to use each attachment.
The included AA battery is a Top-Of-The-Line Lithium Battery. It provides substantially more power & longer life than an AA Alkaline battery. Philips Norelco spared no expense on this battery.
Attractively designed in black & silver, this trimmer compliments virtually every electric razor & looks at home in the Master Bath, or in your travel case.
The instructions show how easy it is to clean, by simply holding it under a faucet or by inserting it in a cup of water.
I enthusiastically recommend this Philips Norelco Nose Trimmer! It easily earns 5 Stars for build quality, effectiveness & value.

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.

How long does a bulb last??

Each bulb lasts roughly 22.8 years (3 hours per day of usage). They are rated at 25,000 hours.

I have 95 HUE bulbs in use and not one has failed in several years of use. These are the most dependable LED bulbs I have ever tested!

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.
