Has it’s limits
on August 28, 2020
Posted by: Techtronic
Verified Purchase:Yes
This stove has a number of limitations. The first is that they tell you to put it on high heat and burn off the smell for an hour but it does not go away I’ve had the oven for a month now and The smell is a combination of overheated metal and chemicals. I was told they sprayed the oven with chemicals to ward off mildew while in the warehouse. I don’t want to be breathing that. I have to leave the windows and door open and it still gives me a headache Then there’s the broiler the door is so short you can just barely fit a tray with meat in there. why? and the boiler only goes to 525 so nothing gets that charbroiled instead it becomes grayish and takes forever to cook. why? Because you have no way to get the meat closer to the broiler fire. It takes twice as long to cook anything in the broiler. 30 minutes for steak.
You have to kneel on the floor to get things in and out of the broiler and the now hot door handle It’s too narrow to be opened with the oven mitt or even thin pot holder. Who designed the broiler?

Pros and cons
on August 21, 2020
Posted by: Techtronic
Verified Purchase:Yes
Looks nice. Good price.
Only two racks. All potatoes eventually fall through to the bottom of the oven because the space between the rungs is too wide. One of the racks has to be used in the broiler. The height of the broiler is so low, my chicken breast barely fit in. (my broiler tray is the same height as the recommended one ). Both of these issues could’ve been easily solved but weren’t.
Regarding the burners mine are a little hard to control, but I can live with them. A few simple changes and I could’ve gotten four or five stars

Cools room to some degree. Has remote.
on August 2, 2019
Posted by: Techtronic
Verified Purchase:Yes
It functions. It usually but not always defaults to eco-mode which doesn’t really cool and constantly goes on and off, waking you up at night. Both the panel and the remote require you to stand over them and turn the lights on so you can control it, but you have to wake up and sometimes even get up, to do so. On regular cool it does cool my bedroom over time and it is quieter than most other air-conditioners I’ve had. So it’s OK though I thought it was a little on the expensive side, but I needed one after the summer began. It is much lighter weight than my older air-conditioners.

Not a bad product but didn’t solve my problem

Not a bad product but didn’t solve my problem
It did extend my signal it does seem to work fairly well but it said itself upon to another network so I have to switch between them if I want to use it. My real problem seems to be Verizon they give me a signal from 75 down to 10 and then blame it on me it’s very on reliable so although this product works I’m not sure if it will solve the problem you’re having

A good deal for the price
By Techtronic
Good projector for the price. Solidly made. Needs to be in a dark environment. Worked fine with my MacBook Air, but I don’t think there’s a possible connection to the audio since the air only has two of the same output. The screen is OK unless you compare it to anything else, the shingles on my house did a better job of providing a more colorful sharper image and they are peach colored And not flat. I think a decent screen would cost as much as the projector. The screen that comes with it is like a thin t-shirt that stretches. Maybe white permanent press sheet would do a better job. Though you can get 100 inch diagonal image(about 8 foot 3 x 4‘ three), smaller is better if you like brighter colors in a sharper image.

Just wanted to add

Just wanted to add Call and I tried the audio output from my Mac to the projector. No results. Maybe it needs an amplifier of some kind or converter but there’s no directions about that or maybe it just can’t be done

Sound, is the sound quality good? Or will a sound bar be needed?

I couldn’t tell you. Make sure you have a sound output which would work with the inputs that are available. I think there’s only a small round input, I don’t think most laptops have that kind of Jack anymore. Maybe there’s a converter. My laptop is loud enough so that I’m not investigating any further. I tried using my laptop sound with a speaker but the sound wasn’t fully synchronized with the projector, so the Speaking wasn’t in sync.

Can you use in an outdoor environment?

It needs to be very dark out. Carefully you’ll get a better screen, one that rolls, not Folds. I suspect a good screen would cost as much is the projector, though maybe there are some cheaper that would work better. The screen does work, but the image is not as sharp as it could be nor colorful as it could be and it is transparent so sometimes you can see what’s behind it

what is the size of the screen. I want to play dvd outdoor

It’s 100 inch diagonal, that is about an 8’3” by 4’3” screen. The problem is that the image is much brighter, more colorful and sharper if you use less of the screen, but it will cover the full screen

What material is the bonus screen? Can it be left outside ?

Very thin, something like a polyester blend. I would not leave it outside. It comes wrinkled and stretches quite a bit. It is transparent so that under some circumstances you can see what’s behind it and it can be distracting. I think it would be fine if you just want to project graphics. It works for a movie but if you want to get immersed in the movie you would need How much better screen and preferably more lumens

I see from other answered questions here that the lumens and contrast ratio for this projector are 280 and 500:1 respectively. How do these numbers compare with the same specs for the Vankyo V630W? I’m trying to choose between the two projectors. Thanks.

I don’t know about the exact lumens, but more would be better. This version needs to be in the dark to get a good image. Also, a higher quality screen would make a lot of difference. I am projecting smaller to get a sharper more colorful image. The T-shirt screen will work, probably fine for graphics, but for movies more lumens and a better screen would be a great improvement.

Is the bottom door some type of over as well? In the photos it appears they are cooking something in the small drawer at the bottom.

That’s the broiler as it is on most gas ovens. I am surprised at how shallow the space there is there. You use one of the oven shelves to put your broiler pan on. It took twice as long to cook a chicken breast (45 mins. )As it did in my 20 year old oven and if the chicken had been any thicker it would not have fit in there at all. I really don’t understand design of this broiler but the chicken came out well
