The Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away is a versatile, cordless upright vac with the power and cleaning of a full-size vacuum (tested in Boost mode vs. ZU630). Lift away the detachable pod to clean above the floor and under furniture.

The Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away is a pretty awesome cordless vacuum. I have owned a few cordless vacuums over the years and this one is most certainly the best. The vacuum looks great and was easy to assemble. It comes with a large cylindrical battery that charges in a couple of hours. Once the battery was charged, I was able to vacuum my entire house on full power (boost mode) within 30 minutes without the battery going dead. The battery has a longer runtime of 1 hour in the lower suction power ECO mode. The performance of the vacuum in Boost mode was equivalent to my Shark full-size upright corded vacuum. The vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver. My house is a mixture of hardwood floors, ceramic tile, and carpet, and the vacuum did an excellent job of picking up dirt and dog hair from these surfaces. It has a self-cleaning brushroll and I have not noticed any hair wrapping around the brushroll like I do with my other vacuums. It has a nice, easy-to-read digital display that clearly indicates the remaining battery life and the various modes that the vacuum is in. The vacuum is versatile and, by lifting away the pod from the brushroll, it was easy to transfer the vacuum into a handheld vacuum or a vacuum with a long reach stick. The vacuum has LED headlights to light up the path as you are vacuuming. The capacity of the dust cup is not super large, but it is large enough to vacuum a good size house before needing emptying. It also comes with a few attachments (Crevice Tool, Pet Multi-Tool & Anti-Allergen Dusting Brush) that adds to the versatility of the machine. As an added bonus, the vacuum has a HEPA filter that does an excellent job of capturing dust and dander as you vacuum. The Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) of this vacuum is good...it has replaced our corded full-size vacuum as the household vacuum of choice with no complaints. Highly recommended!!

These are a great pair of budget wireless earbuds. They come in a charging with an integrated short USB charging cable. They also come with 3 sets of gel tips to fit any size ear. Pairing was easy and only took a few seconds. The Bluetooth connection has worked flawlessly, and the range is around 30 to 35 feet. The sound quality is excellent, and you can choose between 3 sound modes. The tap controls are easy to operate and work as they should. The battery life is a solid 8 hours, and the earbuds can be fully charged by the case several times before needing to be charged again. For the money, these earbuds can’t be beat and are worth buying. Highly recommended!!!

(Existing outdoor wiring and weatherproof junction box required.)

The latest Eufy Floodlight Cam Pro 2K is great improvement on the previous Eufy floodlight camera that I have installed over my garage. I installed the floodlight cam pro 2K under the eave of my house looking over the backyard. It is a solidly built product and wasn’t very difficult to install. The motion-activated floodlight is bright and the light reaches far into my backyard. The video quality is excellent and the pan and tilt camera with smart AI does a good job with tracking people movement. The camera integrates into the Eufy security app well along with my Eufy indoor camera and other Eufy floodlight camera. I like Eufy security camera products for their ability to record events without needing a hub and without having to subscribe to an additional service. Overall, this is a great product and would recommend it.

The Aeris aair lite air purifier is a well-made air purifier with a simple and clean design. There is a simple-to-use touch panel on the top of the unit with a large, easy-to-read, crisp LED display. The LED display will show the current air quality and fan speed. There are also dedicated buttons for automatic mode and night mode.
There is an app that you can download and install to your phone. The app allows you to control the air purifier, monitor indoor and outdoor air quality, and set an operation schedule. The analytics and scheduling features in the app need a little work. I would like to set a schedule that automatically runs the air purifier in night mode from 10:00pm to 7:00am, but it gives me an error that the end time must be greater than the start time. I also did not see a way to put it back into automatic mode using the scheduling feature in the app. The trend lines in the analytics tab on the app need to be a different color (Indoor air quality trend line is a light aqua color that is hard to read) and the chart scale needs to automatically change based on the trend data (only the bottom 10% of the screen trend is used in my case because the indoor air quality is consistently good).
We have the Aeris aair lite air purifier set up in my son’s 15’ x 15’ bedroom. The air purifier seems to work well and is responsive to changes in air quality. My son suffers from seasonal allergies and it seems to have helped in that regard. We keep it in automatic and it primarily runs on low speed and the sound is not noticeable. When operating at a higher speed, the sound is a little louder, but it is not drastically louder that is distracting or bothersome.
From research on the product webpage, the filters typically last about 10 months on average and are fairly expensive at $99 per filter set which is about 20% higher than the cost of the replacement filter on my Dyson air purifier.
In summary, the Aeris aair lite air purifier is a well-made unit with excellent performance that I would recommend. I am giving it four stars for the improvements that can be made to the companion app and the relatively high costs of the replacement filters.

I have been a Norton 360 Deluxe user for about a year now. It has provided effective security and has protected all of devices that it has been installed on from getting any viruses or malware. Norton 360 for Gamers includes all of the features of Norton 360 Deluxe along with the added benefits of gamer tag dark web monitoring and notification optimization to prevent game interruptions. Once that I uninstalled Norton 360 Deluxe and installed Norton 360 for Gamers, I did not notice much of a difference. The interface is identical and the excellent security performance remained the same. There is no slowdown of my computer and PC startup to Windows is fast. I have not noticed any popups or notifications while gaming. It seems to be working properly and performing well. It is considered one of best antivirus products for Windows users. Highly recommended!!

Our most affordable percussion massage device, the Hypervolt GO has all of the features you need.. With surprising power and whisper-quiet operation, the GO was designed with simplicity in mind. The GO is ready to provide relief wherever you roam.
Posted by: DRTechNerd
from Nashville, TN
The Hypervolt GO is my first percussion massager. It is lightweight and solidly built. It comes with a couple of different heads and a USB charging cable. I did notice on the Hypervolt website that additional heads are available for purchase, but it would have been nice for the Hypervolt GO to have included the softer cushion head and ball attachment head. It is very simple to operate with a single push button that powers the device on/off and also changes the massage speeds. It is whisper quiet when operating. It is comfortable to hold and does a fine job at massaging out muscle soreness and stiffness after a workout. Battery life is good at six hours when fully charged. Its compact size makes it easy to throw in a bag and take with you. Overall, I am happy with the Hypervolt GO and I feel it is a good entry-level affordable percussion massager.

I finally own an Instant Pot. I have many family and friends that already have an Instant Pot. My wife and I often hear them talk about how great they are, and now I can see why. Everything that we have made in it has come out so good. In the short time that we have had it, we have made tortilla soup and beef short ribs, following recipes that we were able to find on the internet. They both came out amazing. The tastes were so flavorful and they were so easy and fast to make using the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot Duo Nova is easy to use. It has a simplistic control panel with a large LCD screen that lets you know what is going on inside the pot throughout the cooking process. There are also lots of smart program buttons that allow you to sauté in it and cook a wide range of dishes. The inner pot is stainless steel and can be removed for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or sink. The 8-quart Instant Pot is fairly large and will take up a fair amount of counter space, but the sacrifice of countertop space is a good trade-off for the versatility that it will bring to your kitchen. You can have delicious dinners ready in 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish. There are hundreds of Instant Pot recipes and cookbooks out there, and we are looking forward to making many more dishes in the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot Duo Nova 8-Quart 7-in-1, One-Touch Multi-Cooker is a useful, super-versatile kitchen appliance and I would recommend it.

Excellent Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: DRTechNerd
from Nashville, TN
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are excellent. When you first open the package, you can tell right away that these are a high-quality set of earbuds. The earbuds come in a case that is used to store and charge the earbuds. The case has magnets to keep the earbuds securely in place. You can use the included short USB cable, or a Qi wireless charger to charge the case. Battery life is good at 6 hours, once fully charged. Once depleted, they charge quickly through the case.
The earbuds were easy to setup and customize through the Bose Music app. There are some helpful hints and tips in the app on how to get the most out of the earbuds. There is also an animation in the app that details how to wear the earbuds. It takes some getting used to when you put them in your ears for the first few times. You will have to insert and rotate them, so that they fit tightly and form a seal to minimize background noise. The earbuds come with three different size tips for various size ears. They come with the medium size ear tips already attached, and, after following the animation in the app on how to wear them, they fit my ears perfectly. Once in place, the earbuds are comfortable and have not come loose during my workouts or outdoor activities. It is nice that the earbuds are water resistant, so that I don’t have to worry about wearing them in the rain or while exercising.
I have several pair of earbuds, but this is my first set of noise cancelling wireless earbuds. Noise cancelling is important because I like to listen to music while working out and mowing my grass, and I want to minimize the surrounding noise. The noise cancelling of these earbuds was found to be excellent. The sound quality is also excellent. You can hear all of the details in the music with good bass for a set of earbuds. I would like to see the inclusion of a sound equalizer in the Bose Music app, so the sound can be tweaked and bass/treble adjusted.
There is touch control on each one of the ear buds and it has worked without any problems. I have the left earbud customized to skip to the next music track, but you can also set it to hear the remaining battery level of the earbuds.
Phone calls were clear, and people had no problem hearing or understanding me on the other end. It was easy to answer a call either through the phone or just by double tapping the right earbud.
As I said at the start of this review, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are excellent. They are comfortable. They sound great and have good noise cancelling performance. They are currently my go-to set of earbuds. Highly recommended.

Ninja Foodi NeverStick Premium Cookware is the cookware that won't stick, chip, or flake. With a max manufacturing temperature of 30,000~F, our cookware won't rapidly lose nonstick like traditional pans made at 900~F can.
Posted by: DRTechNerd

The Ninja Foodi Neverstick cookware set is a very well-made set of cookware. The set includes a nice variety of pans to satisfy most all cooking needs. The finish on the cookware seems durable and is of good quality. We have not experienced any sticking of food on them. Each one of the pans that we have used heat up quickly and cook evenly without hot spots. The handles have not gotten hot when cooking. The lids are good quality and it is nice that the lids are clear, so that you can see the food as you cook. We love to cook with cast iron, and it is nice that these pans can either be used in the stovetop or the oven, similar to cast iron. The lids are also oven safe. The pans are very easy to clean. It has been a while since we have purchased a new cookware set and it was great to receive such a high-quality set. I do not have anything negative to say about this cookware set. They are excellent and I highly recommend them.

The Best Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones
on August 16, 2020
Posted by: DRTechNerd
from Nashville, TN
These are probably the best headphones that I have ever owned. The build quality is excellent. The headphones are sleek, lightweight, and very comfortable. A nice-looking carrying case is also included. Once fully charged, battery life is a whopping 30 hours.
Setup of the headphones was very easy through the Sony Headphones Connect app. The Sony Headphones Connect app allows you to customize the sound of the headphones to your preference and there is a noise cancelling optimizer that customizes the noise cancelling features of the headphones to the shape of your ears and to your environment. The optimizer works very well and when the headphones are in use, the noise canceling processing is very effective. I used the headphones when I was mowing my lawn and could barely hear the loud noise of my mower while listening to music. Under normal ambient conditions, no outside ambient noise could be heard when using the headphones.

I used the headphones when I was mowing my lawn and could barely hear the loud noise of my mower while listening to music. Under normal ambient conditions, no outside ambient noise could be heard when using the headphones.
The headphones have a very intuitive touch control on the right earcup. You swipe up and swipe down for volume changes, tap the center to pause and play, and swipe left and right for song selection. You can also place your hand over the ear cup to quickly allow ambient sound through the headphones that works very well when you want to hear someone speaking or when you want to listen to other sounds. There is also a speak-to-chat function that can be enabled through the app that automatically pauses the music and lets in ambient sound so that you can have a conversation with someone without removing the headphones. I tested the speak-to-chat function and it works without flaw. There is also a sensor in the headphones that automatically pauses the music or turns off the headphones when the headphones are removed.
The sound quality of the headphones is also excellent. I did use the equalizer in the Sony Headphones Connect app to tweak the sound so that it had a little more bass and punch. The headphones also had very clear sound when using them during voice calls with my iPhone.
The headphones have the ability to connect to two Bluetooth devices at one time. This allowed me to watch a movie on my iPad with the headphones while still maintaining a connection to my iPhone to be able to take calls without ever taking off the headphones. This is a nice, unique feature that I have not seen implemented before.
Sony’s WH-1000XM series of headphones are highly regarded, and are considered one of the best wireless noise canceling headphones that you can get. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones carries on this legacy and in my opinion, they are superb and I don’t see how you could find a better set of wireless noise canceling headphones at this price. A+. Highly recommended.
