A Security Camera System that Finally Works!
on May 6, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
I am in love with this camera system! I have tried 4 other brands from small to large companies and the Swann is by far the best I have used yet.
The quality of all the components are great so far, thick plastic, quality wiring and the main box looks great.
Wiring a system like this is very time consuming but Swann includes 85% of the materials, routing the wires through walls with boxes is on the consumer. I ran all my cameras through a central port I made at the front of my home that I could easily route the wires under the facia of the house.
Camera picture quality is a true 4K and watching it on my 40" Samsung 4K TV in my office is what I needed. I plan on adding the 4 other camera channels soon as well.
Nighttime video looks great, faces are easily seen and there is no lag, even live ony TV screen like it is with other systems.
The super large 2TB hard drive made it 16 days running 24/7 before it started to overwrite for myself. I have it set to record non stop because our intersection is an accident haven and I like to post the videos online because I am just that guy.
I highly recommend the Swann company for any camera systems, especially this one. Yes, hardwired takes time to setup but you do not have to worry about your internet going down and you losing something being recorded.

The may be the best WiFi printer yet!
on April 30, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
We absolutely love this printer, especially for our kids being homeschooled, they have to print off a lot of material.
First off, you need internet access to setup this printer, if you do not have internet, then you will have a much more difficult time setting this up. Once you start the setup though, it is fast, like minutes and running fast. The best part is the WiFi connectivity and the apps on Android work flawlessly to print to it from anywhere in the house. I have tested and own many printers with WiFi and I always end up having to hardwire to the server in the house, I did not have to do this with the HP M234dwe. HP obviously figured it out and how to make it work right and actually log the correct jobs coming in and not just get confused and error out.
Printing is fast and looks great, nice black text and logos are clear for invoices as well. It is super quiet when printing which is nice when on the phone right next to it. The speed is plenty fast for the price, this is not meant for a huge office setting but 4 kids and 2 people that work from home, it is plenty.
The scanner is great, set to 600dpi, it scans with great precision and I can use my software to turn the scan into a text document with no mistakes, it scans that clear.
I highly recommend this printer, I cannot be more happy with it.

Works Good but can use one improvement
on April 9, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
I wanted to give this a few weeks of use and really test before giving a review. When I first installed it on my Windows based HP Omen gaming computer, I was having an issue with the program using upwards of 10% of my computer processor and that was at idle. This slowed down the computer dramatically and caused glitching in my games, especially WarZone.
After I tried uninstalling and re-installing twice using Norton's uninstall tool, I was still having an issue. I took to Reddit and found a few others with past Norton products that had the same issue and there was a computer programmer that had a script to run in the CMD prompt to basically reset all the computers cache right after install and then auto restart the computer. BOOM! There it is, barely using any processor now and runs smooth.
Now I feel the computer is protected with Norton's extensive team and library against attacks while gaming and just using the computer.
The layout of the program is easy to use. The Notification optimization is awesome and keeps them at bay for attacks and product reminders while gaming and using the computer as a whole.
50GB of free cloud backup, that is nice! I just started streaming, so I am taking advantage of the PC camera safe guards they have put in place as well. I don't know if this is really an issue out there but it must be and that's why it is included. I love the included secure VPN, so far, I have not seen a big drop in gaming speed as I already have 1 GB service.
Also, I am still trying out the password manager, I really like Google's setup but this is worth a shot to try, seems to work ok on the new programs I have installed, my old ones are still controlled with Google.
All in all, it is a great program, they just need to add a script to their software to do a real cache cleanup and computer restart like the one I found on Reddit.
4.5 stars!

One of the best vacuums to date from Dyson
on March 24, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
The Dyson Outsize Cordless Vacuum is a good one, the best out of 4 Dyson Vacuums to date. I have to say right off the bat, I really needed a 4.5 stars, I cant give it a 5 with 2 features, and one being many have brought up to all vacuum companies on so many reviews still not being taken care of on the Dyson.
First thing is this vacuum sucks, in a GREAT way! The power it has is amazing and literally destroys dirt and collects it with ease like a Dyson is built for. From low to high pile carpet and even hardwood floors, the vacuum does work and does it well. The 3 speeds being a nice touch to save battery are really not needed, set it to 3 and go!
The vacuum is light for being cordless, even the usually heavy batteries are lightweight. The noise level is very small as well, I was able to test the vacuum at 8 am in the morning yesterday and the kids did not wake or hear a thing, that is nice for new moms and dads with newborns.
The attachments are of a great selection and all snap in with ease. Multiple hard tools and brush attachments to get into those hard to reach places or clean the hair from your dog(ours is a husky) right off the couch and chairs.
The ease of use for even dumping the latest load of dirt is so easy and 100% cleaner than any other vacuum I have owned or tested. Pus a lever and the bottom pops open, you then slide the outside tube down its inner sleeve with a rubber neck on the inside, pushing all the dirt out with no dust clouds and not getting on bit of dirt on your hands. After that, use the included wall hanging system and hang it up to charge. Great job on this one Dyson.
Now, for the few things Dyson needs to improve on for the best possible vacuum setup I think you could ask for.
The hall hanger, it work and works well but what do I do with the extra battery? Maybe add another spot in the wall hanger to hold and charge the backup battery, that would fix it or send another wall hanger to mount elsewhere to charge the battery for another section of the house.
Next, the mini roller for the couches, why does no company thing about how to store this part? There is no place on the vacuum or the wall hanger, so where does it go to be lost and forgotten, the dreaded utility drawer in your kitchen. Please Dyson, figure that out too.
And last thing, the hold to use trigger button on this unit. It is a fairly easy pull but when you have issues with your fingers as I do or are elder, holding that power trigger for 25 minutes straight to vacuum the house is not fun, this needs to go away, it is not saving battery.
So, 4.5 stars, could easily be 5 in my book with the 3 above changes,

Really nice all in one for your home
on March 15, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
I am in love with this Dell Inspiron 24" Touch Screen All-In-One computer. I never thought I would like an All-In-One again after my first one tipped over by someone walking by, so I stayed with monitors and separate desktop instead. This one has changed my mind just with the way it sits on the desk, it is very sturdy and the quality feels what Dell in known for, greatness.
The screen resolution and overall quality is great, better that most cheap screens and great for standard pace gaming and perfect for everyday computer use. The speed of the system is average to above average range, it does not slow down but you can tell it does not like to be overworked for long.
The overall size is perfect for a desktop setting and does not take up a ton of room. I have to bring up the wireless mouse and keyboard setup though, the mouse is great, the keyboard cannot keep up with fast typing, it misses letters, i confirmed this with my wife after I tried, once you hit about 45 WPM, the keyboard can no longer keep up.
The pop up video camera is the BEST feature the unit has to offer, the quality of the camera looks great and does not lag a bit. Also, pictures when you are goofing around actually come out great for a "selfie" camera.
The only other downfall is there is no Versa mounting setup for wall mounting, that is a big negative for me, I would have loved to turn this into a media center for my house and mount it on the wall.
For everyday use, this is a great All -In-One!

I like this case!
on March 6, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie

This is the case I needed for my work bench, the angle is perfect for looking at digital shop manuals while working on engine that much easier.
The screen and side protection is nice when closed and does not add a ton of bulk. The best part is the stand feature, the angle of use is perfect for what I use my tablet for, the garage.
Material quality seems great and should hold up well for the life of the tablet which is about 2 years in today's standards.
Great job with this one, I highly recommend it.

Best Software for Tax Season!
on February 25, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
I have been using H&R Tax Cut for over 10 years and it never fails me. I get the maximum refund quick and painless. If you can follow the step by step instructions and entering numbers in the fields, you will be done in no time.
I also love the auto input of my info from ADP. That save even more time. The cross integration to the state taxes makes filing state in no time. Only thing I would love added it the possibility to file Ohio RITA taxes instead of their online setup that is horrible.
H&R Tax Cut should be your top choice for ease of use, best layout and if you use it year to year, the speed of entry is even better by bringing in your last years taxes in seconds.
Seriously, it does it all, buy this software!

This is the Sensei of the other brands
on February 1, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
My wife and I are in love with this blender. We have been using Ninja blenders for the past few years but have also been miserable to clean and the pulse features were always too aggressive. Enter the GE 5 Speed blender, a good size blender that is EASY to clean and a pulse that is actually functional.
We have been putting it through its paces for a little over a week now and it has yet to bog down or fail us. We have made almond flour and 5 minutes later smoothies, guess what, 15 minutes from start to finish we made the almond flour, pureed the fruit, added the flour, poured so easily with the spout and cleaned up.
We also are really happy with the noise level. Is is loud, yes, all blenders are, but is it unbearable loud? NO, it is about half the other brand at all levels which at 5am keeps the kids in bed when I mix up my breakfast smoothie before I leave for work.
The size is perfect for a family of 6, so anyone under that should never be short on volume. I was able to blend 2 bananas, 1/2 pound of frozen strawberries, 3 sliced and cored apples and 6 oz container of blueberries all at once. That covers enough for myself, my wife and all 4 of my daughters to add fruit to their daily breakfast.
The look of it is perfect as well. We always hid the other brand blenders but the GE just looks great so now it stays our next to the other Stainless kitchen items.
I am truly happy with this blender and I am pretty sure 95% of people that purchase it will be as well.

Top Notch Headphones for not so Top Notch Price
on February 1, 2021
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
These Skullcandy Headphones are what I needed, I broke a set of big brand headphones that had noise cancelling and I have been without them for a while. These fill the need with great sound and noise cancelling that actually works for the price.
The headphones came in a nice packaging and packaging shows me how a company cares about their products. First impressions is what makes customers return more often. Once I pulled them out, I got the set charging immediately and from 0 to 100% charged it was less than 2 hours, do not know the exact time but I waited 2 hours and when I connected them it gave the 100% charged notification.
The headphones connected flawlessly via bluetooth without one hiccup. The sound quality through the BT is pretty dang good to be honest, actually better than the $400 headphones I am without now. The Bass is perfect, not too much so your ears dont hurt and no distortion. The mids of clear and vocal sound great while the highs will scream and scream, I actually had to adjust the EQ down, but again, no distortion from them at all.
The Skullcandy Headphones are super lightweight for an over the ear design and stay on with ease. I have worn them for 2 weeks at work and not one time have they hurt my ears or head and have yet to slip off. These also fit in my cargo pants easily for transporting them to and from the car and work.
I get 2 full 9 hour shifts at work from the battery and that to me is a huge win. When you have one of those days you forget to charge, do not worry, the next day you will still have some juice.
For the cost, these are a no brainer over the ear set of headphones.

Now this is a product I can stand behind!

Our house finally has signal in my home and not just 1 bar, we have 5 bars and LTE! This is by far the best product added in my home in a long time. Install did take a trip to the Hardware store and buying a pipe to put in the ground so I could mount the antennae on it and rotate it correctly. Buying the $10 piece of fence tubing and digging a hole was worth my time, 10000%
I also purchased a box for the outside of the house to drill a hole though the wall and seal off the wring through the house properly and have it enter through the wall using the included adapter piece. It took a few minutes searching at the hardware store but they make a plate that the adapter snaps into and makes it work perfect as a pass though. All in all, the install was about an hour plus the trip to the store.
.
The call quality is amazing and clear now, not one dropped call in a week now. The MMS picture messages now send in seconds compared to minutes last week. Also, multiple phone calls do not make a difference, all calls on all devices are 10000% better on ALL carriers in our home and friends where really impressed.
If you need a boost in your home, get the weBoost!
