Great antenna for cord cutters!
on May 2, 2018
Posted by: Steve

-I like the style of the antenna. Good design if I were to attach it to the wall.
-It seems to work better than the regular bunny ears antenna and have better range. Still have moments of bad reception where the signal goes out.
-The one kickstand is weird, should come with 2 stands to attach, and possibly have it adjustable.
-Setup was somewhat easy. Slightly difficult to connect the coax cable from under the antenna.
-Comes with a USB cable. My connection is with the wall adapter since I only have one USB port on my TV which is already being used. The power cable could be longer. It does come with a coax extender cable to help.
-Overall, I think it will do the job. I might consider a smaller one that is not as wide in the future. But it would like good under a TV, since it looks like a soundbar, or even across a wood beam.

Router with superior protection, at a cost
on April 4, 2018
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
This Norton Secure Core router is more than just an ordinary WiFi router. The included Norton Core Security Plus protects your devices against malware, viruses and hackers.
The router installation is made easy via the mobile app, and that app also allows you to monitor your network's security. Norton provides a "security score" to help you keep all your devices safe.
The app also allows you to set up parental controls, temporary guest network access, and monitor the devices on your network.
The speed and performance of the router is great, and on par with any other router in this price range.
The only issue I have is that the Norton Core Security Plus protection is only free for the first year. After that it is $9.99 per month. But, if you look at the level of security you get, and the peace of mind, I suppose that it's worth it.

Excellent Wi-Fi Extender, easy setup!
on March 19, 2018
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender was very easy to setup and would be great for anyone having issues with Wi-Fi coverage in their home or business.
When used together with a Linksys MIMO router, it will extend your high-speed WiFi to cover an additional several thousand square feet. It does work with other routers, but when used with Linksys, the software/app will make setup and control much easier.
The dedicated backhaul channel to the router means the WiFi speed to your devices is not degraded. The four included gigabit ports are a nice addition - they allow you to hard-wire devices that normally are too far from your router.
And one of the best features is the seamless switching - no more "ext" added to your SSID when switching. This makes moving from one area to the other painless, with no signal loss.
So, if you need to expand your Wi-Fi coverage, you cannot go wrong with the Linksys - RE9000 AC3000 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Range Extender.

Fantastic sounding tiny headphones!
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
I have tested a lot of headphones in the last few years, and the Jabra 65T's rank up there with the best of them.
The sound quality of these is amazing - nice full sound, and the Jabra App really lets you control the sound to your liking.
I don't have an Alexa to test that feature, but the call quality on my iPhone 6 was really good.
While I am still fascinated with earbuds this small that are truly wireless, the fit of these never made me worry about them falling out.
The carrying/charging case was a nice addition, and very easy to use.
I would definitely recommend these for anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds!

Fantastic player, in a small package
on January 31, 2018
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
I have to admit that I put the cart before the horse, and got this 4K Ultra HD player before I got a 4K TV. I plan on getting a Sony 900 Series 65” in a few weeks, and couldn’t pass up getting this disc player when it was offered!
The setup for this player was very easy, and I was able to download and install the updated firmware quickly over my wired Internet connection.
The picture on my current 1080p TV was exceptional, and regular DVDs looked way better than on my old Blu-Ray player. All of the primary streaming apps are available on the main screen, and should be enough for most users.
I liked the size of this unit - it is probably 2/3 the size of my previous Blu-Ray player. It seems well constructed, but it is very light.
I can’t wait to see how it performs with some actual 4K discs when I get my new Sony TV!

Great performing, beautifully designed laptop!
on December 10, 2017
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
This new Google Pixelbook laptop is truly a thing of beauty – the design and construction is the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of laptops in the last 25 years! The screen is gorgeous, and the hinge implementation is very well done.
Performance is outstanding – it is extremely fast to boot up, and between the lightweight ChromeOS and the SSD drive the speed in normal usage is fantastic. While a little pricey, you can really see where your money goes.
The only “downside” I can see for some folks is that this is “just” a Chromebook, running the ChromeOS. While not as full-featured as Windows 10 or MacOS, this laptop can probably do everything that 90% of people actually use a laptop for!

Very well-built, versatile cordless vac!
on November 19, 2017
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
I have gotten several new vacuums over the last year or so, but this is my first cordless one.
Upon unboxing, I was happy to see the build quality seemed very good, and the wide range of attachments included was a great addition. The attachments are a little hard to detach, but I’m sure they will loosen up over time.
The rechargeable battery is a great feature – it is great to be able to do a staircase without worrying about the cord!
One downside I noticed is that the suction power does not seem as strong as the Dyson and Sark vacuums I have been using regularly. I wouldn’t recommend this for heavy duty carpet cleaning, but it really excels at hardwood floors covered in dog hair!
Another nice feature is that Dyson attachments fit this Hoover. I was able to use a Dyson rotating upholstery brush to clean the dog hair out of my car without hassling with a cord.
For the money this is a well-built and versatile cordless vacuum, and it ships with a great variety of attachments.

Truly wirless, truly great performance!
on November 19, 2017
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
These Sony WF 1000X headphones are advertised as truly wireless headphones, and they really are! Two very small earbuds that give great stereo sounds without ANY wires connecting them. Truly amazing technology in my opinion.
I am used to wearing a Bluetooth earbud for phone calls, so it wasn’t a big change for me to try these Sony’s out. The fit was great for me on the first try, but they do come with different size tips. They stayed in my ears well, but I didn’t exactly try any vigorous exercise. :)
They are comfortable, and I had no fatigue after a few hours of listening to music and watching TV on my iPhone. The sound was great – I don’t like super heavy bass, and these have a beautiful full sound no matter what style of music I tried.
The coolest feature is the noise cancellation. I have over-the-ear headphones from Sony that have truly awesome noise cancellation, and I was skeptical that these tiny earbuds could do as well. They might not be quite as good, but they are really close. Very impressive performance for such a tiny set of headphones.
I can heartily recommend these headphones for anyone looking for great sounding noise canceling headphones without the bulk of over-the-ears and without the hassle of wires!

Fantastic food/beverage processing system!
on October 25, 2017
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
The Ninja - Intelli-Sense Kitchen System is a truly useful kitchen appliance that gives you a food processor, blender, smoothie maker and veggie spiralizer all in one easy-to-use system.
I was very impressed when unboxing this unit – everything feels very well built, and there was a nice array of attachments. The base itself is very sturdy, and the suction cups are a great idea. Once I figured out how to release them I liked it even better! :)
It was fascinating how the touch screen changed as you swapped between attachments – not quite sure how that works, but it is an awesome feature. It is great that you can get all four of these appliances with just one motor. It does save space over traditional appliances – but you still need a bit of space to store all of this system.
Every part of this unit works very well, and it was a great upgrade from our NutriBullet smoothie maker. More powerful and much faster too.
I can highly recommend this system to anyone looking for a food processor or smoothie maker – just get this one and do them all.

Brightest projector I’ve ever used!
on October 10, 2017
Posted by: Steve
from Cleveland, OH
This Epson Pro EX9210 Wireless 1080p+ WUXGA 3LCD Projector is a great choice for anyone looking for a general use (PowerPoint, etc…) projector.
I used it with a 4-year-old HP laptop running Windows 10 and as soon as I plugged it in the projector came on, and the laptop screen went dark and came right back up. I was expecting to have to tell the laptop to connect, so it was nice to have that work so smoothly.
The output was the brightest I have ever seen from a projector – easily viewable in a room with the lights on and the sun streaming in the back windows. I’m sure it would look even better with the lights off.
The controls are easy to use, including keystone control, which used to be very hard to fix in the old days.
There are plenty of connectors – two HDMI, VGA, component video, and a cool little Wi-Fi adapter that I did not get to try yet. I am hoping t is a cool as it sounds, because it would be great to use this projector without having to plug it in to the laptop every time.
I can highly recommend this Epson EX9210 for anyone looking for a high quality, easy to use projector for presentation-style use. I did not try it as a home theater projector, but I would think it would do pretty well in that regard also.

Discover new content and rediscover old favorites with this Roku 3 streaming player, which offers more than 2,000 channels and includes access to Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO GO and more. A motion-control remote lets you enjoy fun-filled games with ease.
ROKU 3 vs. ROKU 2SX
What are the benefits of the NEW ROKU 3 over the ROKU 2XS version (mine is 2-3 years old)?
I believe the processor is faster, which makes things runs smoother. It has the latest Wi-Fi, plus an ethernet port. Does the 2XS have Ethernet?
