Some great features but not perfect
on October 1, 2022
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
There Powerbeats are good but not great, especially for the price. Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed.
First, the good points. I very much prefer having earhooks on my earbuds and these work nicely and are comfortable. I considered getting Apple AirPods but they aren't available with earhooks.
I like the Powerbeats compact size. The controls are very well thought out and I also like that they're the same on both buds so I can use either hand. Furthermore, it's great that the buds can be used one at a time instead of only both. This is helpful for maintaining ambient awareness when exercising outdoors because there's nothing in one ear.
Now for the not so good things about these Powerbeats. The bass leaves much to be desired. The highs and mid-ranges are quite good but not stellar. Another problem with them is that there's no feedback when placing them in the case to charge to assure the buds have good contact with the contacts in the case. As a result, I recently took them with me to my car dealer to use while waiting to get my vehicle serviced and only one was charged. Very annoying. Now, when placing them in the case, I jiggle each bud to assure it's solidly in contact with the case's contacts.
I don't think the Powerbeats justify the high price. They'd be a decent purchase if they were on sale for at least $50 less, but not they're MSRP.

Speck Balance FOLIO is a slim and stylish tablet case. Providing superior durability and protection, an interior liner helps protect your screen against scuffs and abrasions on your tablet, while the outer shell shields against bumps and dents when dropped up to 4 feet. A secure latch closure also keeps everything in place for peace of mind in the event of a fall. The protective cover includes a magnetic camera shield that covers your lens and easily retracts when you need to snap a photo. Plus, this cover converts into a convenient typing and viewing stand. Built-in magnets in the cover are strategically placed to put your tablet to sleep when not in use and wake it up automatically when you need it for an extended battery life. This case has an integrated holder for Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) so you never have to leave your extra tech behind. It also has a built-in antimicrobial treatment from Microban that delivers a 99% reduction in stain and odor-causing bacteria on the case, creating a cleaner surface. Model 140548-9322

An excellent and reasonably priced iPad case.
on August 27, 2022
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this the same day I bought my new iPad Air. It's quite attractive with the iPad's blue color. I like the feature that covers the camera lens, thus providing great protection for the camera.
The case morphs into several shapes thus providing several ways to hold an iPad, depending on one's specific needs.
The case also has a very handy spot to store and charge my new Apple Pencel 2.
For the price, it's an excellent case.
My only gripe is with the clasp mechanism. I have some arthritis in my wrists and hands and the clasp is a tad challenging to undo and takes a bit of aligning to get the clasp to engage. I think a magnetic strap would have been better but such likely would have impacted the iPad's ability to lie flat.

The M1 processor is great.
on August 27, 2022
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace an iPad Air I'd had a number of years. So far, the new iPad Air is a gem for me. Having Apple's M1 processor is a huge improvement, making the iPad's performance very snappy indeed.
I like the incorporation of a USB type C connect rather than it's previous Lightning connector, thus making it more future-proof.
The display is stunning. Colors and resolution are noticeably improved over my previous iPad. Also, the battery performance if better than my old iPad.Finally, the iPad's blue color is gorgeous.
One of the first things I noticed, however, immediately after unpacking this iPad is that it's thicker and slightly heavier than my old iPad Air. That's not a killer but I felt it was important to disclose.
In a nutshell, I'm very happy with this new iPad Air.

Excellent Bargain TV in a Difficult to Find Size
on August 20, 2022
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've only had this TV a short time but so far it's been great. I purchased this to use as a display next to my whole-home security camera system hardware. While I can access the cameras via my wireless network, it's handy to have a hardware connection to the system when accessing system configurations or downloading video segments.
This size TV is impossible to but in other major brands so I was glad to see Best Buy offer it in their house brand.
My only gripe is there are no TV controls on the TV. One has to use the remote.

The SANUS Elite BLT3 Advanced Tilt 4D TV Wall Mount features a revolutionary design, providing 6.8~ of extension on a tilting mount. Tilt 4D advanced technology tilts in four directions. The extension allows even the largest of TVs to achieve the maximum listed tilt range. Large TVs installed on traditional tilting mounts often hit the wall, limiting the maximum tilt that can be achieved. The BLT3 solves this issue by extending from the wall, offering TVs a larger tilt range. More tilt translates to better glare reduction. This makes the BLT3 the go-to tilting mount for all above-eye-level mounting locations, like over the fireplace. Additionally, because the mount can extend the TV 6.8~ from the wall, cables and wires can be accessed quickly and easily while the TV is still mounted. This makes the initial hook-up and future device switches a quick and easy process.

Excellent TV mount with great features.
Be sure to follow the instructions, however. I can see a situation where someone isn't attentive resulting in a disaster. If you're not handy or the install seems complicated, hire an expert.

Very Good Useful Size Micro with Some Nuisances
on August 20, 2022
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, this is a very good microwave. We've had it for several months with no issues. The size is very good and capable of handling all our microwavable cookware.
My biggest complaint is the keypad. First, it isn't as sensitive as I'd like and requires a fair amount of pressure. Sometimes, I need to press twice to get an input.
Second is the keypad layout. It isn't logical. Keys one would need to use in sequence aren't together and one needs to look closely where to press next. For instance, after entering cook time, you would think the power level button would be nearby? It isn't. It's across the keypad and if not careful, it's easy to screw up. Obviously, GE engineers never actually used their own product.

Not an audiophile product but decent
on August 20, 2022
Posted by: RadlerKC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a bit disappointed with these speakers in that the bass leaves much to be desired. The medium to high range frequencies are pretty good, however. The HomePod Mini is by no means an audiophile product.
Setup is quick and easy if you have Apple products, such as iPhone, iPad, or Macs. Besides controlling the speaker from an Apple device, one can merely tap the top of the speaker to control it. One caveat, however, is the need to learn the sequence of taps to control its various functions. That's not a problem if you use it this way often because those sequences will become second nature. If, however, one only uses the taps occasionally, one will want to keep a note nearby as reference. That being said, the speaker does respond to Siri commands too.
For $99, it's a good deal. The build quality seems very good and is easy to use.
I do wish Apple was currently offering a much better sounding speaker for audiophiles.

Technically, it does. As I mention in my review, the On-Off and Siri buttons are covered. I used a hole punch to expose the On-Off button and a razor knife to expose the Siri button.
For the price, it was worth it but Best Buy could have done a better job in selecting this case as is.

Keep up with the printing demands of your business with this Brother color laser printer, which is capable of 33 full-color pages per minute*. The 2.7-inch touchscreen offers easy toggling between functions, and mobile device printing capabilities let you print from a smartphone. This Brother color laser printer features a 250-sheet holder so you can load it up and forget it.
Can this model make copies?
Only if you have a separate scanner, which I highly recommend. Otherwise, no. There is no built-in scanner.
I DO NOT recommend multifunction machines that scan and print. If one component goes out, the whole thing is trash. Also, you can buy a much better scanner than the ones included in multifunction machines. Such scanners, especially Epson, have a button for copying that automatically sends the scan to any connected printer. Below is a link to an excellent scanner that will last you a long time and provide impressive scans of documents, photos, slides, and film. Coupled with the Brother printer, you'll be very happy, indeed.

How is the photo printing quality?
Photo printing is good for a laser printer and better than most, but I wouldn't rely on it for that purpose, especially for display or framing. If the photos are embedded in a document, handout, or brochure, I think you'll be pleased.
Frankly, when I need photos printed, I send them to services provided by Walgreen's and Office Depot/Max. In the long run the result is better, cheaper, and less hassle.

Can it be connected to computer through a USB or Ethernet cable?
Absolutely. All WiFi printers have at least one wired connection, usually USB, if for no other reason than to assist in initial setup, but also to allow wired use. Better printers include Ethernet as well.
This, being a workgroup printer, has Ethernet, USB 2, and several wireless protocols, making it perfect for any workgroup or home office. I absolutely love mine.

The USB 3.0 7-Port HUB allows up to seven USB 3.0 devices to be connected simultaneously at a transmission speed of 5 Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and 1.1 (12 Mbps) devices. It works with high-bandwidth SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices, such as an external disk drive, high-resolution webcam, multi-channel audio and more. In addition, it supports fast charging for smartphones, tablets and iPad.
Can I plug in my external hard drive via this adapter and get a clean backup?
Yes. I do it all the time with my J5 Hub. It's a powered hub so functions as if you were directly plugging into the computer.

Can you recommend a scanner to go with the Brother HL-L8360CDW printer?
I've been a fan of Epson scanners for many years. They have an array of models in various price-points so advising a particular model is difficult without having an idea of how much you want to spend. Their Perfection series are great scanners that produce excellent scans very quickly. Most, if not all, have a function button that will make it work like a copy machine to send a scan directly to your printer (via your computer). Furthermore, Epson scanners are well built and will serve you a long time.
