So cool you'll want more!
on June 2, 2022
Posted by: bc3tech
These things are pretty amazing! I love the detail & gradient of colors that I could get with the various built-in settings/scenes in the app and how, by telling it the orientation & design I've set up, it knows where "center" is, up, down, etc.; really makes for an immersive experience!
The app is pretty intuitive and comes with a ton of "suggested" configurations + "scenes" (colors and movement of the lights). The one thing I noticed, however, when setting it up was that - while you physically can connect two panels into one - the scenes and colors don't behave as expected; it seems whatever color comes "out" of the common panel is displayed on *both* of the connected ones. For example, if you connect panels B & C into A, then tell A it is blue but want B to be white and C to be red, you can't do it; B & C will end up either both red or both white. It's a minor thing, but it may affect somebody's decision to buy if you already have a design in mind.
I liked the app's "walkthrough" of how to set up & connect the panels after designing the layout in the app; makes it very easy to get up and running. For my desired application it would've been nice if the outlet cord was a bit longer, but it's not a show-stopper for this purchase.

Test first - Keep your receipt!

This is my 3rd mesh wifi system setup, so I am well experienced with how to set them up, configure them, etc.
That said, the Motorola unit was *extremely* easy to get going and configured. The app walked me through everything needed to complete the setup successfully without any hiccups. Once I got the units placed throughout my house, though, it was a different story.
Before getting this router I had simply used the modem provided by my ISP. In my kitchen - near "worst case" scenario for coverage - I was able to get ~300mbps download per speedtest.net on my mobile phone, despite paying for 1200mbps from my cable company. So, not bad but not what I am paying for.
After setting up the motorola - including an extender right in my kitchen - I decided to do a test, hoping my speeds would improve. Alas, it was not the case. With the motorola points I got only 120mbps!
There's no telling what the culprit may have been as I am unable to configure the channels, bandwidth, etc of the units with the rudimentary app provided. A Wifi Analyzer app showed a *very* crowded spectrum, despite open channels elsewhere, and the motorola mesh was right in the mix with them (so it doesn't do a good job of picking an open channel, either).

I am really enjoying using this unit so far, and am looking forward to long term usage and results. However, there are a few things that could have been done better, and a few things that have caused some pain (literally) and frustration.
To start, this beautiful, white, unit and stand require you to run an ugly black USB cable to it. This would've been an easy fix! A white cable would've gone a long way to making it more pleasing in my bathroom. Additionally, the fact that the unit can't be charged while on the stand is a complete design miss. This should be wirelessly charged through the base, period. It would have resulted in a much better design aesthetic and user experience.
Second, while I haven't had a chance to use all of the attachments yet, I really like the cleaning one but found when I turned the power up all the way on the other one it literally shocked me! Definitely a bit of a hazard here so just be careful.

Overall, the unit looks great and performs as I'd expect but could have been designed better and appears to have some sort of flaw in its power output. For the cost and current tech we have nowadays, I'd expect better in all these areas.

Very fast! Great for beginners; excellent balance
on January 25, 2022
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
Fast! Easy to mount & dismount as it uses the pads on the foot area to engage a brake when only one is pressed, so no more flipping onto your backside!
The unit exceeded 9mph up to 10.7 per the in-app speedometer, which is quite fast for a hoverboard! It's able to go up the modest incline of our street without much trouble at all. Additionally it's powerful enough for an adult to use at full speed as well as older children (box says 15+).
Our unit had a bit of a hiccup after only 1 day of use, however. It simply stopped responding at all to rider, app, even the power button didn't work. We ended up leaving it running so that it would run out of battery & restart itself and we haven't had any problems since. While it was non-functioning, we emailed the company and still haven't heard back to even acknowledge receipt of our warrant inquiry now over 1wk later. So I wouldn't put too much trust in warranty claims on this one.
The onboard speaker is usable alongside the hoverboard itself but has only adequate sound as you might expect from something of this size. Additionally, the lights are not controllable from the app and much of the online troubleshooting and manuals direct you to use an app that's not compatible with this model so that can be somewhat confusing

This mouse both looks and feels great while playing.
The buttons on the side provide increased functionality as you can bind them to different actions with the iCue app (i.e. keyboard input, macro, etc.). Since the mouse has a built in gyroscope, you can also bind actions to the tilt of the mouse, which I found very fun to mess around with!
The DPI buttons on the mouse allow for quick changing of the sensitivity, and the "sniper" button on the side of the mouse temporarily decreases the DPI of the mouse to 400 (unless you change it) while you hold it down, which allows for accuracy when you need it.
I never really found myself using the tuning functionality of the mouse, I'm sure you can use them for something but I put the weights in and forgot about them.
Overall it’s a great mouse!

Versatile, powerful, portable
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
With a *plethora* of modes and settings this thing is quite amazing for the package it's in. It's *very* portable and does exactly what my doctor's unit did, but without the co-pay! ;)
Things lacking:
1) The display shows only generic placement of pads which means you will *always* need the manual by your side to see exact placement for what you want to do/target.
2) The manual/materials provide no reference for where to buy more gel pads and no indication of how many uses you can expect to get out of the pads nor how to know when you need to replace the gel. I've used it a half-dozen times but have no idea when/where I'm supposed to get more of these. Additionally, there's little guidance in how to store the pads when you're done - I've been putting one of the blue covers that came on the gel between two pads and sticking them together for storage. Hope that is ok!

It's worth saying the strength of this thing is bananas. I've only gone to 11 out of what appears to be a possible max strength of 25-30 based on the indicators on-screen and, when I did, it was almost unbearable! I've also only used the EMS function, not TENS, so I can't speak to if/how effective that is.

Really only one application in mind
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
This was built w/ the application of putting it around the back of your monitor in mind, only. The magnets which hold the little controller aren't strong enough for under-table mounting, which is where I chose to put mine. It's constantly falling off.
The software to configuring the lights is confusing when it comes to setting up the order/size of the lights you've installed and I have found it's not consistent between channels one and two.
The controller/power supply isn't strong enough to wire all 4 lights to one of the outputs, so keep this in mind if you plan on buying more lights to extend the setup.
Initially I'd thought this would allow the dominant color of my screen to be shown w/ the lights but cannot figure out if/how this is possible w/ the given software. iCue in general is a very unintuitive system - I have a mouse from Corsair and it's equally confusing to configure & set up.
We also couldn't get it configured for mic/audio reaction, either.

If I can't figure out how to configure your stuff w/ what's in the box and the software you give me, you're not getting 5 stars. Needing to contact support, dive into forums, etc. means your User Experience isn't there.

Compact, fast, strong coffee
on October 30, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
I have only used this maker for iced coffee and found that following the directions printed on the scoop & top of the unit made it too strong, however the speed with which it makes the coffee is great! It's a compact unit and they thought through *all* the aspects of cleanup with each part being easily removable and rinseable.
I have found, though, that I have to put a lot more ice in my tumbler when using this vs just an espresso maker, presumably because of the duration that it's pouring the hot *percolated* coffee liquid over my ice. Nevertheless, I've been able to tune the output to my liking and use it every morning!

Get the benefits of cold therapy without the hassle. The detachable stainless steel head holds the cold for up to 2 hours, and rolling it over your face, neck, and d~colletage will help to improve blood circulation, de-puff and reduce swelling, soothe redness and irritation, brighten under-eye circles, tighten the jawline, and help to minimize the appearance of large pores.

It's a bit awkward to have to put the head of this in the freezer. Who has a freezer next to where you'd typically use something like this?
Additionally, it's very squeaky as you're using it. Overall, seems cheap and just isn't very convenient

When will this be available? Also can i add more ssd or hd? Finally how loud are the fans? Thank you
When you turn on full Turbo mode, the fans go to max as the GPU and CPU overclock. That said, they are extremely loud in this setting. With normal usage, however, they're not noticeable.

Does this oven emit a lot of heat and is the exterior very hot to the touch?
The top of the unit is considered a "cooling area" and does get hot. The sides and bottom, no. The front glass, yes very hot as well.

What is the Power use? Wattage?
Depends on the function you're using but anywhere from 1400-1800W is what I've observed through my Sense device thus far. I've used toaster, air fryer, reheat, and conventional modes.
