It is a great portable hard drive. The encryption on it is very nice as well. I have almost 2200 movies on it plugged into my router to run Plex off it, and it does it well. USB 3.0 is dumb fast, I hate waiting and the is very little wait with this drive.
The drive is small and light, so portability is easy. Also, works great with Mac, Windows and Chromebook.

I like this enough to buy 5 more.

This may be the best product from Samsung to date. To be able to see where my kids are and even hide one in my trailer and ATV is a nice security blanket.
Setup is very easy, took 15 minutes once I downloaded the needed app. Charging does not take long and lasts about 2 weeks. I love being able to see where everything is at just by opening an app. The position registers every 10 minutes, so updates are very close to live, unlike many other trackers out there that you have to be in range.
Great job Samsung, you really made a solid product.

Best software for the weekend warrior
on November 12, 2018
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I love Photoshop and Premier Elements, I have been using it since 2015 and decided I wanted to see what changes played ahead. The 2019 software has a new main screen layout and many new quick edit features for fast editing and making even the worst photos look great.
I mainly use Photoshop for making racer resumes for ATV riders and it is easy and time saving compared to many other software available. I personally use expert mode for almost everything I do but some of the auto features for quick editing are nice. The layout is classic Photoshop in expert mode, so there is no learning curve at all.
Premier is also great, but you honestly need a powerful computer to make large video files, if you do not, the program likes to crash while converting and compressing the video, so be forewarned. The ease of Premier can made the weekend video warrior look like a pro with very minimal knowledge.

Better than the top tier brands
on October 26, 2018

from Fairport Harbor, OH
The Bissel Pet Hair Eraser Turbo works and works almost too well. I have never seen the amount of dirt and hair come out of my carpet, so much it makes me sick to see. I have 2 top tier vacuums, one is a Dyson and one is a Shark, both with retail values over $500 and neither do what the Bissel can.
To first help you on why the 4 stars then, it is simple, accessory attachment design. Why every vacuum company cannot design a vacuum to hold the hand held brush attachment is beyond me, it should not be hard to add a spot. This makes it a task to go grab it out of a drawer somewhere just to use it. Secondly, the brush roller still wraps up hair, not nearly as bad or as fast as the others, but still does.
Back to the goods! The Bissel is LIGHT! This makes it so much easier to take it up and down the stairs and use it on the stairs. It also stays in its upright position instead of falling over with the lightest touch.
The power this thing packs is bar none the best available, I cannot Express enough how strong this vacuum is. I tested out a room be going over it with the Dyson first and filled the container about a 1/4 way. I went back over it with the Bissel and filled the container! Gross!!!!! It picks up much more dust, deep down in the carpet plus the amount of dog and cat hair that the Dyson missed was appalling.
The attachments work wonders as well, I have zero complaints on their designs or usability.
Great job Bissel, but now I have $1000 worth of vacuums that are worthless trash.

Gorgeous and Elegant yet 100% functional
on October 18, 2018
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
This is the first smart watch I am beyond proud to have. The feel and look is amazing. The size is a tad large, but does not feel the part.
The fact it uses all Google for its apps, I am excited, I am no longer limited to Samsung controlling the watch. The amount of faces to choose from are refreshing as well, no more downloading tons of 3rd party apps to make this happen.
Connectivity to both my Essential or Note 8 was simple and painless. Now, it does function the same with both, it seems to be faster with my Essential phone.
The charger is a great touch and is easy to connect. I can easily go all day on one charge and into the next as well.
The touch screen is very responsive and uses the entire watch, it is not limited or cut off like my old Garmin. I also love I can switch bands as will.
The only negatives are vague instructions and no tool to remove the pins to make the stock band fit my wrist.

Loud and Clear!!
on October 18, 2018
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I have reviewed so many sets of headphones and these ones beat out most of them, including Bose. The comfort level on these is 10 out of 10 for being on ear headphones.
The bluetooth function works great and has about a 70ft distance before it starts to get static and lose signal.
Charging is normal speed, takes about 4 hours to fully charge and I was able to get 1.5 10 hour shifts at work on one battery charge running 80% volume or higher all day.
The flexibility of the headphones are great as well, a lot less chance of the breaking. Also, the tension bands are nice but not needed at all. They only seem to help keep the pads tighter to your ears to block out outside noise a tad better, so I do not use them. The top pad is also great for making them even more comfortable for all day use.

Now, sound, the great and beautiful sound these have. The bass is clear and low, but not Beats obnoxious low, so you get great mids and smooth highs.
I highly recommend the Jlab headphones!

Perfection

Simply put, this is the best baby or kid camera I have ever used. I personally have 8 different brands of cameras for watching my kids and baby around the house. Most if them work with my phone, but the Panasonic is just perfection. I cannot find one flaw, at all!
I love I am able to play lullabies and even zoom in. I also see great distance with the wireless system. I can take the screen almost 500 ft away through multiple walls and still watch my kids while I work in the garage and be inside in seconds if an issue arises or the baby wakes up. The fact I can also pan the camera side to side and up and down, is just top notch in my book.
If you want the ultimate baby monitor, this is it, period! I also love the 2 way communication built it, I have already found myself using it more and more every day.
But this camera monitor before you waste your money on a cheaper version.

Great Budget 4K TV
on October 3, 2018
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
To be honest, I was not expecting a feature packed TV when I got the Insignia Fire TV. I was wrong. The picture is nice for the price range. The HDR works great as well.
I tested the TV utilizing my Amazon Prime account first. Everything streams and works flawlessly. The loading speed is fast, actually better than any of my Fire TV products. The menu is typical Fire TV. The available 4K content looks great once you go back and forth between the picture adjustments and the movies.
After testing it with the built in software, he enters my 4k bluray player and 5 movies I always use to show off my other TVs. I have to say, it is nice but not mind blowing. Colors are bright and crisp, but blacks bleed and whites look faded. My wife cannot see it, but I can.
I have to state right away here, that the remote is horrible and getting the picture adjusted is a chore, I hated that wholeheartedly. You must go into the menu to change the picture settings, you cannot adjust while watching a movie, which just plain stinks, these 2 reasons are why I gave it a 4 star rating.
The TV is easy to hang, even includes the screws preinstalled in the mounting holes, which I have never seen before, thanks for that Insignia.
For a basic 4k TV, it works, and works well. My kids now have a big 50" TV in their room and are beyond excited.
For a movie buff like me, I would not look forward to watching movies on the TV though, I like to adjust per movie, but for my kids, it's perfect on the preset Dynamic. They can easily use the remote and the built in Parental controls are top notch.
For the average TV watcher, this TV will not break the bank and will satisfy 95% of the people who buy it.

Tested and tested out strong!
on September 20, 2018
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I have owned many backups and this is the best battery backup I have ever used, period! The amount of power this packs is insane. After using this for 3 weeks, it was tested hard during a storm with many outages. All my computer products stayed working with each flicker and outage, I kept on working without issue.
The APC backup has a built in surge protector for the items that do not need power but has plenty of plugs for items that do. All 3 screens stayed lit and my PC with lots of need for power stayed running the entire 43 minutes the power was out the 3rd time after 2 flickers.
The ease of installation is amazing and is such a small size compared to my last backup made by another brand. I also tested how long I could run a 65" Samsung 4k tv, D link router, Roku and the modem with the unit unplugged, 51 minutes, yes 51!
This is by far the best backup for the money, I plan on buying another for my kids computers for school.

Drop Dead Gorgeous Screen!
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I love this screen, period! The colors and dual inputs are what sold me in within 10 minutes of being out of the box. Response rate is high and great for gaming and 3D modeling work. The Micro Edge display helps keep it down on size so it still fit in the area my old 21' screen fits, which is a huge positive.
The screen is also light weight and comes with a very sturdy stand, so it doesn't wobble when the kids run by you desk.
Colors are amazing and the black/whites are both deep and do not run off into each other. This makes for great picture editing getting every pixel of a color edge you need to manipulate the photo, leaving no weird halos around the photos.
Look at any of these new HP screens, they should be at the top of your list!!
