Great Whole Home Coverage!
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
The D-Link Covr AC3900 is officially the best whole home coverage setup I have tried. Everything with the units work flawlessly and the speed is amazing throughout the home.
Setup was a little time consuming as the Android App does not work very well, it needs much improvement. Once you figure out the placements of the boxes, move forward with the install. When you link up the Covr box, make sure to hold down the WiFi button for about 5 seconds. The instructions did not specify this and it was the only way I could get it to connect.
My favorite router of all time, the Linksys EA9500, has been replaced. I did not think this was possible but the D-Link Covr has done it. I have tried to bog down the system with over 10 devices streaming video and not one hiccup, 4 of those streaming 4K quality video. The D-Link Covr system is my new favorite, period. Gaming over WiFi is also perfect, never lost video quality and always had a top connection.
I run 2 media boxes in my house for all my movies, one being a WD My Cloud and the other is a purpose built system to run Plex. No issues at all when I added them into the network, very seamless and picture quality and load times were better than with my EA9500.
Also, my WiFi security cameras works easily and so did all my WiFi wall plugs and light switches. Everything just seems to work.
Walking from one side of the house to the other, no more switching networks, it is all the same, finally, a company that gets it.
Walking from one side of the house to the other, no more switching networks, it is all the same, finally, a company that gets it.
The only reason for the 4 starts is the App and Interface when logged into on a computer, D-Link is seriously lacking here and could be the absolute king with this flawless system once they figure that out.
Great Job D-Link, you gained me as a customer.

Way better than the original!
on September 24, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I love these headphones! I must say the second variant of the Bose Q35's are almost the best headphones I have ever used.
First off, the addition of the Google Assistant button was in my eyes the best idea they could have came up with. It was a tad buggy until I did the firmware update. I love the way it reads notifications and reads back to me texts.
The pairing of the headphones were seamless on my Android, only took seconds and had them working.
Sound is the only lacking issue for me, they are typical Bose sound but with a lot less bass than normal. I would have liked to see the amount of bass like the first series.
Battery life is top notch, 2 full 9 hour work days and didn't miss a beat. Charging is quick, only takes a few hours to fully charge.
Thanks Bose for creating a very nice set of headphones, I enjoy all my Bose products.

Light Weight and Big Power
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I am at awe with this vacuum! The Shark ION Rocket IR101 Bagless Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum is honestly the best vacuum I or my household has ever had. We already have a high dollar, big name brand "ball" vacuum we got earlier this year and the Shark blows it away in every way. I can only find positives with this vacuum which I will note below.
I have strongly tested the capability of this vacuum, almost like the old Shark infomercials when the company started up. I have went over my entire house including floors, couches, blinds, walls, ceilings and even fans. The Shark ION has yet to not impressed me or my wife. Our furniture gets destroyed by our 110lb Bloodhound and his short hair, the Shark made our microfiber couches look like new after seconds instead of minutes with the "ball" vacuum.
The flat stick did the blinds in our entire house, which has 12 windows, in under 20 minutes, no need for taking them off this time. The floors are cleaned with ease, from carpet to hardwood, with a push of a button. Stairs are a breeze now with it's light weight and awesome ability to shorten the size of the vacuum to almost the size of a dust buster.
Being battery powered should not scare you in the least, it did our entire 2200 sqft home, the furniture, blinds, cobwebs in the corners and the fans on one charge.
The hanging station is also a great and compact piece. Took only a few minutes to put it in our pantry and set it up too easily charge while in storage.
Next, the car was attacked by the Shark ION. The kids cereal was no match, the dust in the vents and the seats were eaten up with ease. Also, with the flat bar, I was able to get in between the seats and console with ease and under the seats without removing them. This may be a car detailers dream vacuum.
The Goods:
Power and lots of it
Quiet
Light Weight enough for the elderly
Large Capacity holding bin for a handheld
Amount of accessories included
Ease of storage
Push button for more power of longer battery use
Push button for carpet or hardwood floor
Portability to the car or up the stairs
Fast charge
Long Lasting Battery
Ease of switching attachments
and more I can't think of right now.
The Bad:
NONE!!!

Nice Printer
on September 3, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
The HP Envy Photo 6255 All-in-One Printer is a nice compact and cheap entry level photo printer. If you are looking for home quality photos as you would get from and big box store, look no further.
The Envy has great colors and minimal bleed, but if you have a photographers eye, you will see there is bleed. The ink is seems to last a while and is comparable in price to most printer inks available today.
The scanner is not good for photos, the amount of color distortion was too much for me, I had to spend lots of time fixing them in Photoshop. For most, the scanner is fine, I just cant use it for professional jobs.
Pros:
Compact
Fast
Quiet
Easy to load

What and amazing 4K Player!
on August 23, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I never thought I would be able to see the difference between a bluray player and a full 4K player. The difference is easily seen just looking at the outside edges and the colors. The player itself was nicely packed in and is easily setup within minutes. I would have liked to see a HDMI cable included for the cost of the player.
Pros:
Easy Setup
Great Colors
Sound is great through sound bar and 7.1 tests
Multiple viewing modes
Easy to navigate remote
Up-scaling traditional BluRay works great

My first Juicer and I am in love!
on July 26, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
The Philips Avance Collection Masticating Juice Extractor is just amazing, simple as that. I received it at 3pm and by 330pm, I had my first glass of juice. Assembly is quick and painless, I do recommend giving the parts a quick was before use though.
I grabbed some green apples right away and cut them into slices and cubes to test which way was better. Well, it doesn't matter, this thing just eats fruit up like nothing, peels and all. I then tried oranges, pears, kale, and zucchini, all went through without any issues. The juice is pulp free and my kids are in love, I have not seen my kids drink that much juice in a long time. The pulp that is left over is almost dry, the Phillips juicer does a great job getting as much juice out as possible saving you money.
Pros:
Quiet
Fast Assembly
Easy to clean
Little waste
Compact design
Looks good
Great quality juice
No more pre bottled stuff for my kids

Good Sound
on July 25, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
The JBL Everest 310 headphones are your average Bluetooth headphones. I enjoyed the sound completely and it is actually better over BT than using the cable. The fit is where I found the 310's fault. I could not make these fit without excess pressure on my ears and having the need to adjust every 2 minutes.
Also, the materials they are made out of are hot and the cups do not breath. The JBL 310's are great for chilling out, not working out, just my opinion.

If you are looking for a good, solid build headphone that will last with great battery life, get these. If you workout or are in the sun a lot, be ready to sweat.

The only one I have, absolutely poor connectivity. I tried with 7 different android devices, all had some sort of issue with cutting out or not connecting. When my 6 month old Google Pixel XL or Samsung Note will not play an entire song without sounding like a stuttering fool, they are not going to be used.

Now, I may have gotten a defective set so I cant be sure this is going to happen to everyone.
I really enjoy these if they and when they work, just make sure yours connect and stay connected.

Great wifi, horrible smart home execution.
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I don't have much good to say about the Samsung Connect Home Pro. The WiFi is great, that's about it, so this review is not a typical one for me. Here it is, short and not so sweet.
Here is why the Samsung Connect Home Pro fails for a true connected home:
1: Samsung App on Android is one of the worst apps I have ever used. The app is unorganized and looks outdated. It also simply doesn't work. I have 6 month old Samsung 4k smart TV, guess what, it's too old for the Smart Home. Also, my Arlo cameras will not show on the connected app, but works on Arlo. Also, not one of my light switches work with it either.
2: One, yes, one wired WAN port, so you must have a switch.
3: Poor Range. While the wifi works great, compared to my traditional router, the range is horrid, you will need the 3 pack for most homes.
4: Internet Connectivity control. There is basically none, either it is your router or bridged, and you cannot adjust a thing, so it would not work the way I needed in either mode for my home.
5: UPnP does not work well, my current router can handle all 5 TV's in my home at once, this device cannot, two tvs max streaming of my server.

I can only recommend this device is you are not tech savvy and need something for your apartment. I hope Samsung improves the issues or mine will just sit in a box never to see daylight again.

Way Better Than Expected!!!
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: ElectronicJunkie
from Fairport Harbor, OH
I have way too much good to say for this sound bar and only one gripe. I will make this review simple to read.
The Goods:
1. Great Packaging
2. Powers on your Samsung TV and works fantastic with the controller
3. Sound is amazing for not having a Subwoofer. I have a $1600 sound bar from a top brand that has a Subwoofer and this bar is better. I must be honest, it's not loud bass but I am now really disappointed in my top dollar system. Highs are much better, mids are not as muffled and the overall sound is much clearer. Samsung hit it out of the park on this sound bar.
4. Adjustable bass right on the remote and the volume button with the integrated mute is a great touch.
5. The different sound fields work and do it well, gives the choice of how you want it to project the sound, great for video games.
6. Color of the unit matches the rest of my Samsung equipment great and looks good on my entertainment center.
7. Bluetooth works perfect and is very clear audio.
8. Expandable sound. I have not used this yet, but the ability to add a Subwoofer and rear speakers is something I may just do, and throw the more expensive unit to the way side.
9. Price is great for the sound, the initial amount looks high, but I know it's worth it.
10. The Samsung app works great with this unit ony Android devices, I do not have an Apple device to test.

10. The Samsung app works great with this unit ony Android devices, I do not have an Apple device to test.
So overall, the goods just make this a top choice and how loud it can get makes it a great purchase for the movie buff in any size room.
Now for the not so good:
1: The cable input area is small and makes it difficult to plug in multiple cables and route them. It is possible to have all cables, it just takes a minute to route them perfect.
2: Main Gripe- The mounting for the wall, it is not adjustable at all, so houses with older stud placing will make this impossible to install without big holes and wall anchors, I don't like this at all. Also, with the price you pay, it should come with brackets to mount this under a TV on a wall system.

So there you have it, many goods, little bad for me.
