Best and only software I use!
on September 12, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
I have been an avid Malwarebytes customer for many years now and only trust their software on my devices. I know my computer is protected from harmful malware and feel more confident when entering websites to buy products and services.
The main reason I use Malwarebytes is because it uses such a small amount of processing power, I can leave it active during gaming online and it does not slow down my speeds one bit.
I highly recommend Malwarebytes especially for the simple installation and user interface, my 87 year old grandmother can even use it.

Works Flawlessly and Fast!

from Mentor, Ohio
What can I say other than it works and does the job very well. It is larger but a direct plug in. It charges my S20 Ultra fast, not stock charger fast but pretty close while charging my wife's S10 Plus at the same rate.
Packaging was perfect and the charger is a sleek and great looking design.
I highly recommend this charger for the person with a smart watch and phone at night.

Great system with a few improvements still needed
on August 17, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
Right off the rip, I have to say this camera system is better than a competitor but only by one star. The base mission that the Night Owl system provides is solid and top notch, where it falls is the app and the main reason for installing it.
I was truly hoping for a better experience than the other brand and it was for the quality of the picture but install was about the same and the app is just as bad.
Now, for the good is the installation is very straight forward, mount and the rest is plug and play. The quality of the picture is very nice and the camera light that are built in really make night video look great. The human detection feature seams to work very well but has some delay if the person is walking slow.
The layout of the menus are simple as can be, anyone could figure out what they need too easily. I do wish they would have added a wifi module for easier remote hookup in another area.
The system is a side 5 stars if the following is fixed, the app! Please Night Owl, fix the app. I have to constantly ear the app Cache or Data to get it to work. I also have to log out and log back in when I leave or come back home to get notifications or be able to see my cameras. The app is honestly horrible and I tried it on a Samsung S20+ Ultra, Note 10, S10+, Tab 6, and Pixel 3, all worked the same way.
Time will tell if they improve the app. I understand the app is free but when you are expecting ease of use to be simple, it brings the rest of the purchase down.
I recommend this unit if you do not care for the app working or they fix it.

Quick pickup of small and simple spills
on August 8, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
This is definitely a new age take of the original dust buster and is a nice step forward but loses one big thing, picking up items over 1/4" in size. While using this throughout my home and vehicles, I have found it great for hair on the couch and small spills like glitter from the kids crafts. But, take it to the car after a day of hiking, the first small pebble sized rock clogs it up.
The battery life is great and it has good power, but the container is tiny and not meant to be used more than about 30 seconds before being full. Yes, small craft items and dust it does well, it is definitely not a car cleaner or even the camper.
Charging is quick and I get good use before it needs recharged again. Size and weight are nice and feels well balanced in your hand. I would have easily given it 5 stars if the size of the container was a bit larger. By 20 yeah old dust buster still is better for the car and camper though.
I would only recommend this to people that just want backup for small spills and kids crafts.

Room Temp Sensors That Work
on July 21, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
I really like these, simple as that! The setup was super simple and I am able to have it adjust for a room that is either occupied or not with some simple in app and thermostat adjustments. They work great with the Ecobee 4. There is not much to say other than if you want your house to adjust your temp fast in a room that does not have the thermostat in it, these are the best way period!

Great Sensors to catch the Cookie Monsters
on July 21, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
The Ecobee SmartSensor for doors and windows is a neat little item that I will say now should not be confused with a real security system. I have a security setup for actual safety, these are more of a tracking system and notification setup than anything.
You have to pay for the Haven service to utilize everything, which for my, just like the camera, is not something I am willing to do with everything nowadays needing a service charge.
They should have a better setup with notifications if you are within your WiFi, I should not need to pay a monthly fee for a simple notification. I am currently using the sensors on the pantry to track the door being open for my kids trying to sneak cookies in the middle of the night. One thing I do not like is the Motion Sensors are not sensitive at all. You have to be within a few feet to get them to activate. If you are willing to pay for the service, then I can see them working to a benefit but once I seen that I had to use the Haven subscription, I gave it a try and cancelled it after a few days, it was not anywhere what I expected.
If you want a sensor that you can use for the candy door, this can work but the system needs more options other than paying for phone notifications.

Great Quality Camera but lacks 2 Key Options
on July 21, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
The Ecobee Smart Camera is a great quality picture and has nice features but needs two options added for 5 stars. I so far have been using the camera to look over my shop while away to make sure everything is going well and work is being done. I appreciate the easy connectivity through the app and being able to move the view around and zoom in without much picture degrading.
The voice control is neat for Alexa but in all honesty, to really use it you have to use the paid service so you can tell it to record. I would have given it 5 stars if there was a SD card slot with the option to record locally or even on a home server. With our world filled with subscription services, this camera setup is not the first one I would look at because of that being forced to record.
If they change their software to allow local NAS recording, this would be a 5 star camera. Nowadays, most homes with high tech equipment, we want to locally record or allow us to have 1 camera with free online storage, Arlo gives up to 5.
The last key option, LAN support would be nice and beneficial to lessen the load on our WiFi systems. My home alone has over 30 devices already on WiFi, so I try to use LAN as much as possible to lessen the load on my router.
I would only recommend this camera for someone ready to pay for a service but for someone that wants a local recorded or free recording, I could not recommend this at all.

After 2 weeks of solid use, we have a winner for g
on June 28, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
After 2 full weeks with the Logitech G915 TKL Lightspeed Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming GL Linear Switch Keyboard, I can say it does perform very well and I noticed an improvement over my old gaming keyboard. The best feature is simply the keys of the board itself. The way the keys feel and press are positive and smooth. The speed wirelessly is also spot on, zero lag, just make sure you keep it charged.
The biggest feature is per game key settings, that is a huge selling point for me personally, especially with FPS or Racing games. Being able to setup the keys for my style and not what a munfacturer thinks is the best honestly.
The color system works with the latest update of Logitech's software. I also have the Lightspeed mouse and I can easily sync them up to the color settings I want.
The entire Logitech eco system is coming together great in my opinion.
Only reason for 4 stars is honestly no keypad. Logitech could have easily added the keypad so it could be a daily keyboard and I know for manufacturing and size, it could have been added for penny's to broaden their sales possibilities.

Nice Little Powerhouse Speaker
on June 17, 2020
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Mentor, Ohio
The Sony SRS-XB43 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, in black, is a nice all around speaker with fast bluetooth connectivity and overall great sound and clarity. I was only able to test one and not able to use the pair option so that is not in this review but at some point I would love to hear 2 or more. The main reason for the 4 stars is honestly the bass, it lacks there, and the last generation Sony portable had much more bass.
The features of the speaker with how fast it connects through bluetooth and I can walk a far distance from the speaker and does not lose connection is awesome in itself. The Sony music center app is neat and lets you connect other speakers to changing the colors of the speaker and how the sounds react. It also sets songs lists and more or use the fiestable app for other color adjustments.
The water and dust proof works like a champ! I on purpose threw it in the sand then sprayed it off with a hose, still works like a champ!
Battery was not 24 hours, most I have seen is about two 9 hour work days and it is dead but still, it lasts a long time.
I hopefully will get the chance with another speaker to test the other functionalities of the Sony Party Connect but if you are not worried about loud bass, this is a 5 star unit for you.

For the price, these headphones are legit!

Wow, these JBL Quantum 800 headphones are amazing. Knowing why being made by a top manufacturer in the sound game is why and it shows. For the price point, you cannot beat a heaphone setup that is seriously the absolute best I have tried yet over Bluetooth.
The main reason why is the timing for sounds, it is spot on! I own very expensive gaming heaphones from Turtle Beach and HK audio and these simply beat the TBs and are right on par with my $589 HK Audio's setup.
Many BT headphones for gaming are horrible, also has a latency issue and the sound never lines up, with the JBLs, it is finally spot on.
The sound is amazing, true surround sound in a headphone for amazing gamimg and even movie watching. The noise canceling is also fantastic and blocks out all 4 of my daughters yelling and screaming while playing in the house. Tge lows hit low but are not too much where your ears hurt afterwards. The mids and highs are crisp, no tiny sounds at all.
The battery lasts about 8 hours on average ar 3/4 volume for me. Also, the microphone is fantastic with the flip up mute option. My gaming buddies say I sound very clear on their end.
Give these headphones a try, you will be very happy.
