Innovative technology, still has some kinks though
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: recruiter89
I have owned two other Roombas in the past and also the Braava (see my other reviews, horrible device). I actually really like these devices and do not use them as much anymore, due to the fact I turned to stick cordless vacs and mops. However, when I saw an all in one combination from iRobot, I jumped at the chance to test it out. Here is my assessment:
Pros: This is some of the most innovative technology you will ever find on the market, an all in one robot that maps your entire house, has a camera on the front to sense objects in its way and also can sense when it is about to go on to the carpet and lifts its mopping device up so its just a vacuum. I mean you cannot get better than that and forget the knock offs, they dont work and they dont do as good a job. Plus this device is so smart, it syncs with Alexa or Google and can sense if its about to go through a pet waste mess and steers around it? I mean this is smart, and Roomba takes the cake as the best of the best. Everything from the smart app with all the bells and whistles to the full house mapping, scheduling, self emptying docking station etc. After you map your house, this device can be scheduled to vacuum daily or weekly. Plus this device can hold a charge and can hold dirt and debris and goes back to its dock to empty automatically. Gets in hard to reach places and under chairs and tables etc.
Cons: With any smart device there is going to be issues and this device has some. Yes its smart, holds fluid and cleaning solution to mop, but not sure how good a job that does on wood floors, leaves streaks at times, sometimes doesnt lower mop on hard wood and ends up just vacuuming, also leaves balls of dog hair on rugs and does not sweep up everything, I see plenty of dirt after this is done going over the floors. The jury is still out if I need to ditch my stick vaccs entirely or keep them to almost clean up after this thing is done. Fluid cannister hard to push back in, awkward design. Mapping the house and designating rooms is a pain and cumbersome. Mapping out obstacles is sort of a pain.
Still in all this is a smart vacuum and I do like the innovation.
The Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System is the powerful, lightweight cordless vacuum that empties itself so you can ditch the dirty work. It features HyperVelocity suction power and a PowerFins brushroll to tackle floors & carpets with no hair wrap. And when you~re done cleaning, Wandvac automatically empties into a HEPA-sealed base for up to 100x less dust in your home vs. Wandvac traditional emptying.

I actually like Shark vacuums and really enjoy how the company continues to innovate their product lines. I have tried several Shark Vacs and some I like and others I did not. This vac, I am still unsure about and have used it a few times now. First off, it is a small cordless stick vac with the newest concept similar to a robot vac, a self emptying dirt dispenser that the vac not only charges itself on, but also cleans itself out.
The vac is lightweight and easy to maneuver around floors of all types. It didnt hold a charge for that long which is one big complaint, maybe to do an upstairs of 4 rooms, it died shortly after, even before cleaning the 4th room. The buttons on the vac are in weird places and I accidently pushed the wrong set of buttons which caused the dirt cannister to open and dump all over the newly cleaned floor. The attachments click into the bottom but to switch them out, you have to also push some oddly placed buttons. The sucking power is adequate, not the best but ok for a machine this size. After finishing I attempted to place this on the charger/self cleaning dispenser and it took me a while to figure out how to slide the vac onto the charger which took 3 tries. Once on, it cleaned out the cannister however I asked myself, why does this vac need a self cleaning base, when all you have to do is pop the dirt cannister button and dump it into the trash? Maybe I am missing the general concept here but there is literally no use or need for this self cleaning charging stand which actually takes up a good amount of space. In all, I am not sure I would recommend this to a friend and I would have a hard time using this for any big jobs.

Fast processor and graphics card, however still HP
on September 6, 2022
Posted by: recruiter89
I am not a huge fan of HP computers, especially laptops and I have owned 3 other HP systems in the past and they just don't have the life span of other PC's I have owned including Dell and MAC. I have used a few gaming computers and I am a novice PC gamer, having previously owned an Alienware system. This system is the newer line of HP gaming computers, going head to head with Alienware systems. The thing I liked about this system, it was easy to set up and is compatible with the latest hardware out there, including the Logitech line of external gaming keyboards and mouse devices. It was easy to get this system up and running and I was online and gaming quickly. I was also able to add my XBOX Game Pass membership, which integrates into Windows 11 quickly and is its own application with all the latest games to download. This system has a lot of both memory and healthy battery life to make it a serious competitor to other systems. The 16" beauty of a screen gives you plenty of real estate to view your games in high definition allowing for serious game play. I would highly recommend this system, even though it would not of been my first choice as an HP brand, it still does a good job and is impressive.

I have used a lot of controllers for both XBOX and Playstation and I like a hefty, weighted type controller that can last the abuse of heavy game play. This controller holds up to that task with a sturdy, durable exterior, and heavy duty shell. The problem with most XBox controllers, they are just a shell of plastic and seem durable but when it comes down to it, they easily break and dont hold up to heavy game play. This controller is similar to other higher priced controllers, has interchangeable buttons and seems like it can hold up to the rigors of heavy game play. The only issue I saw with this controller, it is in fact battery operated and did not come as a rechargeable controller with a charging stand. It also is not compatible with charging stations due to the battery door not being compatible with the included battery door designs of rechargeable stands. I am not a fan of battery operated controllers due to the length of battery life and was surprised the door was not compatible with my charging stand. However still a solid controller and one I will enjoy using.

I have owned a Nixplay in the past and it was quite cumbersome and sort of immature technology when it came to instantly transferring photos from your phone to the frame. However it appears Nixplay worked out these kinks and now these frames are easier to work with and to use and have an easier interface to download iPhone photos to an album and easily transfer photos direct to the frame which is what other digital frame products are now using. The issue I see with this particular frame is, it is quite a small size and harder to see the pictures on this size, I would of opted to go larger. Granted, the pictures come out clear and are great images and show up cropped and enhanced, however, this size it just didnt do the pictures justice. Also, Nixplay technology in the app itself is ok, easy to use and would be easy for the non tech user to use, however, it still did not look like a solid looking app, I would of added more capabilities to this app. Another issue with these frames are the cost which is over the top for a digital frame and quite expensive. In all I would recommend the product, however I may opt for a more capable digital frame like Amazon Echo or Google etc.

These may not be the most high end headsets around compared to some unmentionable Turtle Beach as a comparison. However the fact they care enough to not package these with a flimsy USB-C cord and have an actual charging stand, says a lot about the quality. These headphones work seamlessly with XBox consoles and in fact, I just upgraded to the new Xbox series X and they are awesome with that console. Not only do they sound good and are flawless, they are intuitive enough to allow for bluetooth connectivity or USB dongle connectivity. The sound is great and there is no interruption and best part is they are wireless and sturdy not like other cheap feel versions of gaming headsets. In all these are top notch and from a brand I had never heard of. Really enjoy the experience with these things. Comparably to the other brands they are surprisingly reasonably priced and also exceeded expectations when it came to ease of use and compatibility to the system I have so I would highly recommend this device for others looking for a headset for their gaming systems.

I have owned a few Dell systems in the past and they are always reliable and 100% consistent and this system is no different. I was a bit surprised to see the price drop a bit for this system since it is everything you need with the latest updated processor chips, speeds and storage plus a wide 16" screen which is foldable and easily turns into a touchscreen tablet which I dont plan on using it for.
The system is seamless and is loaded with Windows 11 and a very smooth, fast i5 Processor which is plenty adequate for business or personal use. The graphics card and screen pixels are decent and this actually was better than the Microsoft Surface 4 Laptop I was previously using. For the new price, this is the best all in one you can probably buy right now. The keyboard makes it easy to type on and it is also easy to use the surface mouse and the battery power is also decent for this size of laptop. I added an external keyboard and mouse and they connected seamlessly and without any issues.

Outstanding Vacuum/Mop Combo, Tineco does it again
on June 10, 2022
Posted by: recruiter89
I have owned the S3 model previously and looked for a combination vacuum and mop and this one hits all points. Where Dyson is the king of suction stick vacuums, Tineco is the king of mop/vacuums and their electronics are so intuitive and precise, it does the job and then some. This device has a screen actually showing you how dirty your floors are this device similar to the S3 works on wood and tile and cleans and suctions all of the dirt into a separate dirty water tank. The one issue I see with any of these mop vacs is that the dirty water tank still needs to be handled and emptied and you still have to physically pick out the hair and grime from the filter areas which is pretty nasty so they need to work on the design to allow the water to wash this away. The other issue I see with these mop/vacs is the fact you are restricted to using Tineco cleaning solution only which is kind of a pain and is not always easy to find except on Amazon. I dont mind buying it but you should be able to use any type of cleaning solution to clean. However the job this device does on your floors is beautiful and it works great. I like the ease of use and it includes three roller heads, a cleaning brush and a charging stand which also has voice activation, Wifi connection and it cleans the vac after every use.

As with all Logitech products, they are downright quality made and the company just seems to know how to build devices that cater to what the consumer needs. This product is no different and is handy when it comes to putting light in front of you while streaming on any of the social portals or podcasts or live streams. IT is easy to set up and as with any Logitech product, its plug and play and quickly syncs with your system, either PC or Mac and is easy to manipulate the setting to your liking. It is the right size as well and mounts easily behind any laptop or monitor screen. I would highly recommend this product.

One thing Logitech is known for is quality products and I own not only computer products but also their line of remotes for TV and devices. This device is no different and is an intuitive, responsive mouse just like the other products. It does have a dongle USB to plug in which can be an issue if you are using this on a MAC. The only issue with Logitech mouse products is they need to come up with bluetooth devices rather than relying on the older USB dongles. This creates issues and the dongle can run the risk of getting lost and misplaced etc.

Big Differences between 2nd gen Nests! Great!
Byrecruiter89fromBoston, MA
I had just installed 2 2nd generation Nests and 3 weeks later this was released so I boxed them up and returned both to Best Buy and swapped them out for this generation version. Those of you who think there are no big differences in generations, you are dead wrong. This generation of Nest is thinner, larger more bold screen and has a Farsight setting which enhances the entire dial, noticing you from about 20 feet away looking at the thermostat. Plus it seems more intuitive and is just sleeker looking. What happened was Google bought these guys and said, lets update this product to make it look like a modern product put out by a Google company. Plus this syncs nicely with all 9 of my 2nd gen Nest Protects and is just a beautiful product. So go ahead and trade in your 2nd gen Nest Thermostat because you won't be sorry!
