Awesome device, I use it literally daily
on November 18, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have owned a bunch of Ninja products for the kitchen, from the slim design pizza all in one oven, to numerous blenders and choppers etc. The issue with Ninja, its hit or miss literally in the kitchen which is unfortunate. This device, however I call it a star and have owned the previous model 6 in one grill and it was awesome. This model is a bit different and you can actually grill, griddle or air fry easily and you can surprisingly grill with the cover down or open smokelessly. This gadget is a bit bulky like the last unit and there is no possible was you can store this on your counter top, however its easy to lug around and is spacious enough to add plenty of meat and other ingredients. I like the fact the grill snaps into place and Ninja was smart to get rid of the corded thermometer since it didnt cook meats to perfection, it was a most of the time case. I like this unit and I think Ninja really shines with devices like this. They should stick to this type of tool and not others.

Sort of a clumsy device, not sure the audience
on November 18, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have owned full size Microsoft Surfaces and always gravitated back to an iPad. Granted the iPad did not have a mouse and was not windows based which made it less than a comparison to a mini laptop. However over time, its starting to come around. This device is the size of a large iPhone and it folds in half vertically, allowing for two screens with a on screen keyboard. This is either wifi or 5G cellular and has full windows capability. Its not really an iPad mini nor is a phone, its more comparable to an old style Blackberry device when Blackberry released the touchscreen version back in 2008 through Verizon. Without a built in pencil, this felt clumsy and clunky and I was not even sure what I was intending on using this for since its too small to replace a laptop but too large to replace a phone and is not necessarily a tablet in my eyes. For the whopping price tag just because it has a Microsoft label on it was a bit extreme for me. I would pass on this device.

The top of the line projector on all fronts
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Lets do a quick scan of home theater backyard or otherwise projectors and you can see from the lineup at Best Buy or even other places I wont mention here, there are your real top of the line progressive fully functioning projectors for real 4k high def use and then there are your cheap knock offs that will certainly get the job done, however are not even in the same league as the top pros. Epson seems to own the home projector market and for a company that is known for mostly printers and scanners, they make a heck of a great projector. I have owned one other Epson and it was great, but nothing in comparison to this bad boy. This is the crem dela crem of devices, loaded with the latest and greatest technology, Android backed, high definition complete with various services on board plus it is so picture perfect clear, I was surprised I was looking at a projector. Its simple to set up and get going and has easy to follow directions, plus its perfect for backyard viewing or presentations or streaming your favorite show right on the white wall I highly recommend this unit.

Top echelon of coffee/espresso makers
on October 29, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
There are the run of the mill coffee and espresso makers out there, made of plastic housings, cheaply put together and really not sturdy alternatives that do not feel like quality for the money. Bring on this top shelf, luxury coffee/espresso maker with all the bells and whistles of professional coffee house real barista grade quality device. This thing is so comprehensive it can do everything a Starbucks Barista can do and even more right from home. Its a pretty large appliance and it barely fit on my counter top. Matter of fact, its almost too large to be a permanent fixture on my counter. However, it makes coffee and espresso and even iced latte drinks with ease with intuitive digital controls and an easy to use set up. Delicious beverages come out of this device and I was pleasantly surprised. I am unsure if the price tag is worth what you get from this item however since after all it is just a coffee maker, but if you want the best, you need to spend a little more.

Awesome little machine with serious power/suction
on October 20, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Let me say I have tried plenty of vacuums and previously have been a Dyson fan, but sadly disappointed by them in the past few years and discarded my house of all things Dyson recently. However it did make room for this little machine which I was happy to see Shark has stepped up its game and gone head to head with the likes of Dyson and others and created a cordless unit for all types of floors with serious suction and power. This unit has all kinds of bells and whistles and its nice to see another manufacturer taking the lead on vacuums since Dyson has fallen short and gotten too expensive. This unit not only has detachable tools, it is easy to handle and is small enough to carry and move around the house. It holds a good enough battery life, although wish it was a bit longer. The one issue I will say is my biggest complaint with this unit is its dirt receptacle which is very small and dog hair wraps itself around an inner spool and you end up having to pull the wrapped hair out by hand which is odd. Other than that I would highly recommend it.

Top notch security system with cool features
on October 4, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I abandoned my ADT Security system a little while ago and was searching around for something to replace it, more of an all in one system. I looked at Ring security systems but needed an expert in the field similar to ADT. Bring in Simplisafe, much like ADT, they have window and door sensors you can install easily yourself (ADT has to bring a technician out for this at an additional cost) and the system is somewhat easy to set up and configure to your residence. The app to configure is friendly and lets you set the system up the way you want to unlike ADT where they force you to sign up for various money grab options. Of course there are additional fees if you want a higher tier configuration however, in all this is not a bad system and I would recommend it. However, I notched it down a star due to the fact the price tag for the system does not calculate to what you get in the box, I feel this should be priced lower at more like $150-199 than $349 for all that you get.

Nothing fancy but does the trick
on September 29, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have used a lot of mag chargers for the iphones. This one is nothing fancy and really nothing to write home about, it is a USB C plug in charger, has a magnet that quickly adheres to a iPhone 12 or the new 13 even with a case on it (I have an otterbox) and it quickly delivers a charge to the phone and allows for wireless charging capability. Would I buy this again? Not sure..it beats the frayed wire old lightning chargers that Apple keeps selling, but I have used better mag chargers and this is no different than most.

Didn’t realize my home air was bad
on September 20, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
Received this item and tested it out. It’s easy to set up and is quite a large unit, I actually put it in the corner of my family room and it’s a low enough profile to stay out of sight. It has various settings on it to switch between seeing how dirty the air is and also particle matter etc. it appears the filter inside would be easy to change out and it opens and pops right out. If you keep the settings on auto it will stay pretty quiet and unnoticeable. I did try to notch the setting up higher and it was pretty loud. In all a pretty decent device and I am at peace knowing my air is being cleaned and monitored.

Nice Gaming computer, fast speeds but gets hot
on July 6, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have used a few different types of gaming computers in the past and Alienware by Dell has always been a reliable piece of equipment. This machine is no different and is a very good gaming/productivity machine. I have been impressed with the cpu/gpu and display very much. I would recommend this computer to someone who likes to play computer games, but also has real work to do as well. The graphics on this system is awesome and games like Tomb Raider and even Call of Duty run really cool frame by frame. The couple of issues I have is that the computer arrived with sub standard packaging and I was surprised it was basically packaged, not like an Apple Product and unlike other Dell computers I have owned in the past. The laptop definitely gets hot, but the fan systems seems to do a good job of venting the heat our the back and the keyboard does not really get warm. I wouldn't try using this thing on my lap during gamin sessions though. Sound on the built in speakers is meh. I get better sound and bass from my iPad Pro. But I didn't buy this for the speakers and honestly with fans going full speed during gaming, you're better off with a good set of headphones. Overall, if you're thinking about it, buy it.

Awesome sound/easy to use app, but not comfortable
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: recruiter89
from Boston, MA
I have used several types of headphones in the past, from corded to Beats to Air buds and then there are the Bose wireless which I disliked. These are similar in shape to Bose, however, they use an intuitive app to perform the set up going as far as taking actual pictures of each ear for proper fit analysis and adapting to a thing called 360 sound which is a new concept and I am sure you will hear more and more about this. These are entirely wireless and don't include any buttons or sync to bluetooth options, once you remove them from their handy small case, they give you the option to sync and then you adjust them to fit inside the ears. They are a bit bulky and it took a bit to get them inside the ears with a twist and it reminded me of the nightmare Bose debacle headphones I returned. The sound is pretty cool and the app gives you tons of options and this adjusts automatically to ambient sound. You do have to tap on one of the to get noise cancelling to kick on, sound is pretty decent, although at times I felt like these were going to fall out of my ears if I started any type of workout. Good news they are water resistant to a certain extent. The feel of these, they werent heavy but felt a little cheap like total plastic and I am not sure I could ever get used to the way they fit in the ears as they kind of hang outside the ear a bit. However I did like the sound settings and the app was pretty cool. You can even sync it to a trial of 360 music services which is I guess the newer types of services providing 360 degree sound. In the end, not sure I would buy these myself, glad I was able to test them, Sony is a solid company for TVs but not sure they have the head phones market nailed down as of yes and unsure they will ever be able to compete with Apple.

5 out of 5Big Differences between 2nd gen Nests! Great!
By recruiter89
from Boston, 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!
