Good printer for the price for tech people
on July 11, 2020
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
This printer has a unique design. The setup and installation was quite easy, which you do after downloading the app, with simple steps and diagrams in the instructions. The ink cartridges are a little cumbersome to reach but easy to install.
The printer does require the HP Smart app, which is fairly straight forward if you are familiar with your networks You can print either by being connected to the same network as the printer, or by sending the file to an email address for the printer. I tried this, and after figuring out how to set up the remote printing portion, sent a test page to the email, but it never printed. It said "your job is bring processed …" but it never printed. I tried a second time but after getting errors, and not printing, gave up. It prints fine if connected to the same network as the printer which I will use most of the time, but it would have been nice to print remotely when not connected.
I'm not sure of the cost savings of their Instant Ink program, but it just seems like this printer relies way too much on technology to use it. There are sometimes delays in printing, seemingly dependent on the internet connection, and the software seemed a little too complicated and glitchy at times.
The print quality is decent - text is clear and photos are good quality.
It's a great printer for the price, sleek looking and good quality, but may be challenging for those that don't have a good grasp of technology.

Average Shaver - needs improvements
on June 24, 2020
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
As a woman, I thought I would try this shaver on my legs and arms. I tested it first on my legs, both wet and dry. It seemed to do an adequate job of removing hair. I next made the mistake of trying it on my underarms - both wet and dry. In both circumstances, it was a very painful experience. Perhaps it's not designed for this use.
I then used the trimmer feature on my husband to trim his hair and beard. When I opened the trimmer, it did not sound right and it seemed it was not "vibrating" enough to cut thoroughly. It did not do a good job of cutting. I'm wondering if the shaver is defective, because most trimmers and shavers work much better than this one did.
The positive things about this shaver are the grip which is comfortable, and it's very easy to clean. The outer cap however is difficult to pop off without the entire head coming off.
Overall - this is an average shaver that needs some improvements.

Gained 1-2 Bars Cell Strength
on May 6, 2020
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
We live in a very remote area, down in a valley so cell phone service and internet has always been an issue. Once the WeBoost was installed, we did gain 1-2 bars so I did give it a four star rating.
If you have a chance to get professional installation for this device, I would definitely recommend it as they did a much better job of installing it properly than we had on another one. The instructions are plain enough, but you need to know where your towers are and you need to make sure you don't cross the antennae with the booster path for optimum performance.
The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because they claim to improve "the Wi-Fi and cellular network speed" and while it does boost the signal strength, I don't think it increases the speed. Also, it is supposed to work up to 7500 sq. ft. but the signal was only boosted one bar in a space that was only 2 rooms away.
It's still worth the increased performance, and I assume homes or offices with more line-of-sight availability to cell phone towers will perform much better.

Outstanding sound quality - not perfect comfort
on April 17, 2020
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
The charging case for the Momentum earbuds is great! Easy to pop in and out and easy to see if charged by the color of the dot. The instruction book was easy to follow and they paired with my phone immediately with no issues.
It was a little cumbersome at first trying to correctly position them in my ears. The left one fell out a few time before I got the hang of inserting it right. I've worn them for a little over 3 hours before they start to irritate the outer part of ear. I wish they were a little more "squishy" - less rigid - perhaps they would be more comfortable.
That being said however, the sound quality is outstanding. I've used them for music and for talking on the phone and the sound is crystal clear and balanced.
For short durations, these earrbuds are exceptional. For longer time spans of over 2-3 hours, they are not that comfortable. The pros outweigh the cons for me, and I will use them, but could be so much more if just a little more comfortable.

Couldn't ask for more
on December 31, 2019
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
This Dell all-in-one computer is the best one I've owned. The screen size is great at 23.8" and fits on my roll-around computer desk perfectly. The screen tilts easily for optimal eye level. It would be nice if it tilted back just a bit more, but most of the time not needed. Of course one of the best features is that being an all-in-one, there is no need for a separate tower, which eliminates cords and reduces space requirements.
This computer comes with every port you would need including 2 HDMI, 4 USB, ethernet, SS, speaker plug and an SD card slot. The keyboard and mouse are simple but function really well.
This is a very fast computer and setup with Windows 10 was extremely easy.
The only issue I had was learning how to "turn on" the webcam. There is a little red tab by where it pops out, so I tried to pull on the tab. That's not the answer...is all you have to do is push down on the camera "tray" and the camera pops up (I felt a little silly not figuring that out right of way). The webcam quality is fairly good and there is a Camera app for switching between video and still pictures.
Overall, this computer has a clean look and the performance is great.

Exceptional Cup of Coffee
on December 2, 2019
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
I was a little daunted when I first opened the box - the number of instruction books, including one on maintenance had me thinking this was a very complicated machine and one that would take a lot of time to clean and maintain.
After reading the instruction manual, I jumped in however, and was pleased to find how easy everything is to use. This is mostly because of the step-by-step instructions on the screen.
Besides making coffee, espresso, cappuccino and ristretto, you can choose how much coffee, how much froth, the strength of the coffee and the temperature.
What's really great is the Bluetooth connected app that allows me to select and brew my selection with one touch on my phone!
Cleaning is easy due to online screen instructions, a filter which will eliminate the need to descale (I plan on using), and a convenient way to put in a cleaning pod when needed.
I like that you can clean the coffee system and the milk system separately and also can store leftover milk in the container in the fridge.
This machine is high quality and serves up exceptional coffee/espresso from freshly ground beans. Everything is convenient (such as the bean hopper, water tank, drip pan, coffee ground container) and very easy to make the perfect brew every time!

Convenient, quick, and an average cup of expresso
on November 19, 2019
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
I really like the convenience of the Nespresso for a quick espresso. You just fill the water chamber, put in a pod, and select the size (one of 3 sizes). The taste is very smooth and the amount of milk mixed with the coffee is perfect.
When making Cappuccino's or Lattes however, it doesn't put on as much foamed milk as I like or think there should be. It does steam and froth the milk as it should. I am using whole milk, so I may try skim milk to see if that will produce a better foam.
The best features of this machine are the convenience, the easily labeled options on the top of the machine (size, type of coffee drink), and the ease and flavor of the pods (although probably not eco friendly - they do have a recycling bag available that I need to learn more about).
The entire machine breaks down and most parts can be put in the dishwasher. It also has self cleaning and descaling. You also rinse the milk tubes after each milk coffee, without having to empty the milk container, which is great.
The only complaint I have is the coffee does not come out as hot as I would like it. I have not taken the temperature yet and I will make sure I am letting it heat up enough (the coffee portion only takes 25 seconds and the milk portion 15 seconds).
Overall a good cup of espresso with bold enough taste, easy to clean and definitely easy to use.

Great capabilities, lots of fun
on November 12, 2019
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
The installation and setup process was smooth and easy. The main dashboard window that opens up can't be maximized and that's slightly frustrating. But, when you open the Organizer or Photo Editor, it can be full screen.
The Adobe PhotoShop Elements has some great features such as one-click adjustments for exposure, color, balance, sharpness, etc. These are in one of three modes - the Quick mode. There is also a Guided mode, which has a lot of auto fix features.
The Expert mode allows you to do just about anything to the image and will take a little time to learn about all the capabilities. I wish there was a large undo button on the toolbar (there is an undo in the Edit menu). It also seems difficult to move elements and I wish there was a remove background feature similar to PowerPoint.
Overall though this photo editor is great and will save time on improving and resizing photos once I learn how to do everything.

Would be great if...
on October 27, 2019
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
This mouse is very comfortable and I like the scrolling wheel. I was used to a roller ball mouse, where you don't have to move the mouse at all on the mouse pad, so it was awkward at first - but after I got used to it, it moved well and was responsive. I like the Logitech software that allows you to control the speed and sensitivity and also combines devices to only one wireless adapter. It's also quiet. The only problem I am experiencing with this mouse is interference with other devices - or at least that's what I'm assuming. There will be delays, or periods of total unresponsiveness - I haven't been able to figure out why. This mouse has great potential if I can.

A good overall keyboard
on October 27, 2019
Posted by: PracticalSandy
from Gainesville, MO
This keyboard is very simple, and not as ergonomic as others, but I like the soft touch of the keyboard. I also like the back lighting but it does go on and off depending on how close your hand is so that was strange getting used to. Overall though, this has become my second favorite keyboard to use with my desktop for everyday work. It also is nice that the Logitech software lets you combine wireless devices and that you can make adjustments for function keys.

Bring bold color to your gaming hobby with this Razer Kraken analog headset. Thick padding and a lightweight construction make it ideal for extended wear, and the fully retractable microphone lets you adjust the device to meet your needs. This Razer Kraken analog headset has a long cable that provides flexibility of movement as you play.
Does your voice playback through the headset? I always have one earphone off so I can hear myself so I'm not too loud and that's how my last headset broke
That would be a setting on you computer - under the Sound setting. When you plug in the the earphone jack, it should play back in your headset. If you want to hear it through your speakers, unplug the earphone jack (leave the microphone jack plugged in to record).
