The SharkPOWERDETECT upright vacuum has the most powerful suction and the most advanced cleaning technology to deliver the best overall cleaning of any vacuum*. It features Shark’s most advanced cleaning technologies in the new DuoClean Detect nozzle which includes a network of proprietary Intelli-Sense sensors that automatically sense and react to hidden dirt by boosting suction and brushroll speed when you need it most across floor type, corners, edges, and it even detects direction for powerful suction in forward and reverse to grip-& capture- dirt, debris & hair. Large piles, fine dust, and & pet hair are no match for DuoClean Detect. For above-floor cleaning, you can Lift Away the detachable pod and take your cleaning to stairs, furniture, windowsills, and more. In addition, when you lift away the pod, you transform your vacuum into a stick, for easy motorized cleaning under furniture. Shark’s Odor Neutralizer Technology guards against bad odors inside your vacuum to help freshen your home. Plus, Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with HEPA filtration seals and traps 99.99%** of dust, dander, and allergens inside of the vacuum, and out of the air you breathe. *Based on a geomean of combined tests -IEC62885-2 Sec 5.3 FWD, IEC62885-2 Sec 5.3 REV, IEC62885-2 Sec 5.5 FWD, IEC62885 Sec 5.5 REV vs. upright market. **Based on ASTM F1977, down to .3 microns. Allergens refers to non-living matters.
Works way better than expected

My old vacuum was begging for some needed rest. So I went searching for a replacement. I have always liked shark products (and other under same company), so when this was found I knew I could trust it to work. Here are some point of interest on how I viewed this item.
Good:
1. works well on all my surfaces (wood, tile, and carpet) with no need to adjust for each type
2. plenty of accessories to get the job done (pet handle, couch, crevice, fabric, etc).
3.long hose, so I can not have to worry about dragging it close behind me all the time.
4. strong suction that showed me how much my last one didn't clean very well.
5. compartment for scent release while vacuuming, I have mine at lowest and it works fine
6. easy to remove and dump dirt cup. simple clip to lets you empty it out fast.
7. swivel handle (bottom) lets you zoom around corners and furniture with ease. took me a few mins to get use to it.
8. not the lightest one I have had, but with the performance I can overlook that one issue
9. comes with HEPA filter to keep the nasty pollen, dirt, and such from returning to the carpet
10. in upright position it feels solid and not easy to tip over.

Bad
1. putting it together was interesting, as the instructions were not all clear on some items. even the pictures did not give much help
2. took a while to find the on/off switch. I am use to either one on the handle, or on rear near the pivot point on the brush area.
3. not totally heavy, but I am leaving it downstairs since it is too difficult for me to take it up and down alot.

So needless to say. I am happy with it and also knowing I am cleaning my carpet better than before. Plus the bonus of adding different scents depending on mood, makes me happy

Summer season is upon us and it is time to crank out the invites and special event notices. This does a great job of getting my messages out there in full color. Here are my thoughts on this printer.
Good:
1. duplex printing on long or short side
2. black and white, and color print at about same speed
3. decent paper tray capacity with easy to move guides
4. scan, copy, and USB printing as well as regular printing are available
5. easy to take out and replace toner with slide out drawer
6. wireless, bluetooth, usb, and network connections can be used (but USB and network do not work at same time. it is either of them, but not both)
7. once it getting printing, it is consistent and smooth.
8. color saturation is good, but not 100% accurate to screen.

Bad:
1. HP makes you go online to get most of the drivers, which means if it looses connection, you will have nice paperweight when it cannot get to their servers
2. first print is slow. took me about 20-25 seconds to get first page.
3. prints slow when doing duplex. it does not do it internally, as it will place paper in output tray and suck it back in, before flipping it around. So do not expect to print many 2 sided docs very quickly
4. toner is expensive (more new models are), even for a toner that is already on the market for a little while.
5. requires a chip on the toner, so if you see a great deal on chipless ones, DO NOT GET THEM. they will not work. Unless you want to peel off the chip on your old one and try not to damage it placing it on the new toner.
6. it is slightly louder than the other ones I have when it comes to printing and calibration cycles.
7. Requires a admin or user pin to get into advanced settings. What is the PIN? who knows. It is not in the manual and it is hard to find online.
I would still consider this a good printer for my needs, but given the choice I would do more research on it before committing to it.

Starting a video channel is never easy, so when you can get good items as good prices, you grab them.
Well, this in one of the first "video" mic's I have gotten for this task. I own several Razer products, so I know this would be a good one. I was right. Although it is tiny... I mean small from what I was expecting, it works almost perfect. I will give you the highs and lows of this.
Good:
1. lightweight
2. small
3. adjustable (small travel all around)
4. led lights up for on and mute (green and red)
5. USB-A to USB-C connection. so I can use just about any cable in if needed (but will use the one that came with it of course)
6. front and back pick-up patterns, so sides will not capture noises very easily.
7. can be used with or without Razer software. so plug and play is already in the mix,
8. can be assembled as a desktop mic or used in a tripod/mic boom arm with the 1/4 screw mount on the bottom
9. Works with OBS/SteamLabs perfectly and with that app settings you can get really creative.
10. when used as desktop mic, the foam on the bottom of the stand not only gives nice grip, it also absorbs slight vibrations you have have while typing or using items on the desk.
11. when "hot" the light will be green and when it is "muted", it will be red. Making it easy to know if you can talk or not.

Bad:
1. height of mic when assembled, makes it have to insert the usb cable. it is straight up angle and cable gets slightly tweaked to one side after the fact.
2. Razer software although not needed, does not add anything to the experience. Simple settings like volume and gain are there, but nothing beyond that. Would hope for more bass, treble, effects, or pop filter would be nice to have as options.
3. it does tilt a little, but it needs more angles to be useful up close as a desktop mic.
4. you have to be right up on it for it to pick up your voice. So if you put it too far away and hit the gain, you just might peak out or get all kinds of background noise

the bad things are subjective and not all will mind these things. I however, just breeze past them and love using this small mic. I have it with me almost all the time, in case inspiration hits. So go get it and let the world hear what you have to say.

I always wanted a electric scooter and when this came up, I know I have to get one. Well it has it's good points and bad points. The item came fast and it was in good condition (packing and such) so I was excited to get this thing on the road. Please remember I am 6' and 235lbs as I describe things in this review.
Some tech specs to be aware of:
350w single motor system.
dual braking with 2 brake levers
footboard it about 7" across, so not a lot of room to spread the shoes out.

Here are the things I noticed about this scooter.
Good:
1. Large wheels, to make going over small cracks and holes a non issue.
2. Handle bars are good length and feel sturdy when using it.
3. Seat is comfy and has good spring to it when bumps do occur.
4. Charges in under 7 hours (others seem longer) so you can ride and recharge in shorter time.
5. Not too heavy, so packing it up and transporting is not much of a problem.
6. Comes with all tools needed to assemble/tighten/loosen the scooter to your needes
7. Good milage for the size. 15.5 miles at up to 15 MPH (depending on rider weight and incline of road
8. Comes with basket for rear installation. It can handle up to 35 pounds with not problem (unless you go over the 264 lb weight restriction with rider and other items)
9. Front and back lights are quite bright and work great in low light and night time (although it is not advise)
10. Good speed for the engine size. sit down, strap in and you are off in a jiff.

10. Good speed for the engine size. sit down, strap in and you are off in a jiff.
Bad:
1. Seat is not the same as shown in the ad. I was expecting a saddle style. But it ended up with a smaller simi diamond shape. Which is less comfortable and tends to make your legs slide around more.
2. 350w single motor is good for flat land, but anything above a slight incline it can not make it. Even being under the weight limit, it would struggle
3. Charge port plug (rubber nub) gets in the way when trying to charge. Would not be a issue if you never expose it to moisture or splash a puddle.
4. Throttle is far left portion of grip and it turns up and down. This means if your hand moves even slightly it will reduce your speed very quickly. It would have been better to use a thumb lever or use the whole grip as the throttle (like a motorcycle)
5. There is no information on the display other than charge. So no distance, miles, speed or anything to help you not get stuck without power.

Needless to say, it does work and it is fun. But since I live a slightly hilly area, I will have to find something else with more power.

Suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and having to use the computer constantly, I needed a mosue to relieve some of the issues I have encountered. This mouse is a god send and I am so glad I got it. Takes a little bit to get use to, but when you do, it is a game changer.
Good points:
1. Bluetooth with great range and connection strength.
2. Comfortable by having hand in neutral position while using it.
3. Smooth glide on the mouse pad with silicone feet.
4. Nice click on buttons and center wheel spins effortlessly (in a good way)
5. Battery life is fantastic (had not had to change battery for a while now)
6. Downloadable software gives button remapping to make it more efficient during work (like key macos or shortcuts)
7. DPI is good and keeps me humming along with no skips or over phasing.
Bad:
1. Angle is good, but with hand in the new position I tend to hit the left button more that with normal mouse.
2. First mouse I have had from this company that does not have a lot of grip. So I tend to grab it hard to keep it in my hand.
3. Would be nice to have a finger tray (on lower right side) to keep fingers from "dragging" on the desk/mousepad
4. Has some problems with glossy mouse pads (my others do not), so I have to use a matte fabric one to get it 100% working.
Almost all the bad items are personal preference, so you might not have the same issues. I would get this for any of the family or friends that need a mouse for pending repetitive stress activities. Highly recommend this mouse,

Time had come to get a new color printer as the last one was 7+ years old and failing. I have had Brother in the past and never has any issues with them. This is no exception to that statement. Great printer and fantastic color prints. Here are my highlights and low lights on this item.
Highlights:
1. Small footprint for the type of printer it is (color/black-white)
2. Decent paper tray capacity of 250 sheets (wish it was 500 sheets though)
3. Wifi and USB connections available
4. Comes with trial ink refill subscription (I use mine offline, so no network is attached to use this)
5. Duplex printing
6. Easy to replace ink and transfer belt when needed (top-front loading)
7. Scans quickly and produces clear results
8. Large touch screen with minimal icons to avoid screen clutter.
9. Prints out very high quality prints (both single and double sided)
10. installed quickly with a simple USB plugin. Although you will need to download the full suite to get all the extra goodies (fax, scan to email, etc).
11. App lets you print from anywhere you have wifi connection. So printing something to your office on your way to the office is nice feature.
12. It is a lot quieter than my other printers (idle, print and start up)
Lowlights:
1. Prints rather slow compared to my other printers in the past
2. double sided prints are achieved by the paper exiting machine and getting sucked back into it. which makes it sometimes grab the already finished sheet in the output tray.
3. No way to de-curl the paper in settings (not that I could find at least)
4. It will auto print at high resolution (1200x1200 I believe) which makes the prints take longer to come out. I set mine to 600x600 and made a huge difference.
5. Ink is expensive for the amount of prints you get. Hopefully it will come down soon.
6. Duty cycle is low (3000 per month), so it is meant for mid/high yield office printing.

Could not wait for this to be delivered (got online). The day arrived and I tore into that box with wild abandoned. I already own a OA3 and wanted to get the next gen. Here is the points of interest to me and maybe you.
Good:
1. larger sensor size (although lower pixels. which is good in this case)
2. touch screens on both sides are slightly more sensitive to make menu selection easier.
3. digital zoom (1.0-4.0)
4. D-log and low light settings added for better night time shots.
5. extra batteries and charge case (with the adventure kit) are a must for capturing your life longer.
6. included invisible stick (in adventure kit) makes further shots better with no pole in the way.
7. magnetic clip system, make it easy to switch from tripod to chest mount very quickly.
8. updated color profile makes them pop much better than previous versions.
9. QS switch is more responsive, so you can change on the fly with less issues.
10. file naming and processing has improved, thus making it smoother when editing on app or computer.
11. pre-record is a life saver for making sure you can capture quickly as the action happens.

Bad:
1. does not come with lens cover (not sure why)
2. was suppose to fit all OA3 accessories. they do, but very tightly. so it seems slightly larger then OA3 camera.
3. some settings are in sub menus, which make it hard to find in some cases.

I highly recommend this item for all that need a great action camera with easy to understand use. If you already have a OA3, this is a slight upgrade to a already great camera.

I am have been waiting to get a small drone that had longer than 15 mins flight time. Then this gem came along and I am so happy I waited for it. I wanted to share some highlights and not so highlinghts with you on this device.
Good:
light
small
easy to fly (with practice)
easy to store with included prop straps and camera cover
dual signal controller, so you will almost never have drop outs
extra batteries and charge case is a fun saver. letting you fly longer and therefore have fun longer.
perfect video and pictures (when set to your specs in settings)
3 fly speeds (cinema, sport, and regular) so the noobs and experts can enjoy equally.
low weight (mine is 246g) of less than 250g. so no need to register to fly.
easy to follow onscreen instructions to assist you in getting airborne.
control of drone is smooth and fluid with great stick response.
pictures are high quality with the ability to capture in jpeg and jpeg/raw.
video is fantastic for this size drone. With 1080 and 2.7k resolutions available with 4:3 and 16.9 ratios.
it is so much quieter than other drones I have heard/tried.
charging time is good, but depends on your power source. I use a power-strip USB port which charges the drone and the controller in about 3 hours. However, it you use a direct plugin you I am sure you will get quicker times.
sticks are easy to reach when controller is held.
controller weight is nice as it does not fatigue your hands like some other heavier ones out there.
Bad:
IOS offers phone charging via the controller, but Android does not
Android app needs to be downloaded from DJI website, not the App Store
requires registration before you can get updates or fly
unable to change led colors on device with android app

So as you can see, the highlights are great and the lowlights are more or less related to the app itself and not the drone (which can fly with out app or phone if needed). So get it and have some fun,
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have own several items from this company over the years and this one just works perfectly.
From blenders to airfryers each was replacing old tech left and right. Well this one just replaced it own product..lol. This unit is a perfect blend or airfryer/toaster/oven/bake and steamer that I have ever had in one compact package. Here are the hightlights.
1. not heavy, so it will not break your back to lift it to the counter
2. has light inside, so you can see what you are making and how it is cooking (stays lit for about 30sec each time it is pressed)
3. comes with all the pans you can need to get you going and eating in a jiff
4. comes with cook book and suggestions on times/ingredients and done lvl
5. has handy switch on top to change from combi to airfry/toast so you can't make a easy mistake
6. it is not too much taller than a standard toaster, so it fits great under my cabinets.
7. after it is done, the seals on the door are so good that it keeps the food from getting cold for a long time.
8. takes about the same time to cook most things in other devices (airfryer, toaster) but it does it better and more even. My toast was perfect on med setting (gives you 3 options) and I could not be happier.
So many other things to say, but I think you get the point. I would buy/recommend this to anyone at anytime that needs a good combo unit to save space and assist in making healthy food quickly and conveniently

Capture the world the way you want. The ZV-1 II is an ideal all-round vlog camera that streamlines shooting on the go, allowing you to capture amazing quality video and audio without any complex setup. Compact and portable, it features a wide-angle 18-50mm zoom lens for versatile framing, a 1.0-type (1-inch) image sensor for great image quality, and an intelligent microphone for clear audio recording.
Powerhouse with some limitations.

I am ready to VLOG and let the world see my life. Well this is will do it with some exceptions.
Good:
light
high megapixels
zoom (18-50 )
great sound
flip screen with plenty of movement
built in ND filter for high lit areas
used as a mounted camera (studio, tripod, etc) works flawlessly
great colors and gamut built-in
well balanced, even with screen flipped out
battery life is just as good as first gen with around 250 pics per charge (depending on setup)
screw mount is set away from battery door, so swapping them is no longer a issue when on a tripod
video is high color and great contrast. I used it with 4k 24 and was pleased with cinematic results.
works great with phone/bluetooth handle for "hands free" shooting and filming
touchscreen is perfect balance of "yes, you touched it" and "oh you did not mean to touch that" type of reaction.
plastic case, but very well built and feels solid in the hand

Bad:
after 50mm zoom it will look multipoint focus
ND filter is like 3 stops so not all high lit areas are taken care of
not much of a grip on right side, so being light it will be hard to hold onto
swipes do not always register, so hitting the function button is best option
rolling shutter is better than last model, but still not smooth as I would like
image stab is electronic and not on the lens, so it is not really usable in a walking situation. habve to use catalyst browse to correct with major cropping.
lacks flash. even though there are settings for one in the UI
power and mode button are too close and sometimes when changing modes, I turn it off by mistake.

Ugly:
need to disable clear zoom to keep the multi-point focus, when it is turned on and you go past the 50mm mark, it will only focus on whole picture and not subject. I lost alot of focus on my faces when it was turned on and I was far away.
ND needs to be more stops and have ability to manually set for creative looks
image stab needs to be on lens to correct slight movements, as the software loses a lot of the frame with used in post.

So there are things in each section, but it is still a good deal if you want a vlog camera and this the first one you will buy. But, as a upgrade, it still has some work to do.

Will I be able to use my gear s2 with the pixel?
I have a Gear 2 and it does not work with it yet. when changing phones it will have to reset your watch and reconnect. The issue I have is, the watch can connect to the phone via bluetooth but can not be seen in the gear manager. I suspect it it is due to the app not being updated to work with a 7.1 phone. I hope this does get fixed soon, however it is a Google phone and it is a Samsung watch. So no one really guaranteed it would work together. In the past the watch only worked with Samsung phones.

When will these phones be available in stores without pre-order?
In most cases yes. However since a lot of people want it, you will find it sold out quite a bit until the first few weeks hype dies down. But keep looking and be ready to travel to a few locations before you find one available.

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?
keep the router if you need to use the usb for hard drive, printer, etc support. But I hooked mine up just strictly for the printer since the ORBI just blew the nighthawk out of the water with the wifi speed and range. I can now cover my whole apt with one unit and with the satellite hooked up I can get wifi almost half way up my block.

Q I am looking for1 Orbi router and 3 Orbi satellites for my big home, since Netgear is not giving the option to buy satellites individually ,will I be able to order two boxes of Orbi and be able to use one of Orbi router as a satellite ,? interchange
each set is already "synch'd" with each other and just requires a simple button press to join them. However I have heard that you can buy extra satellites soon and once you do, all you would have to do is hit the sync button on them and confirm the M.A.C address with the control panel for the main router. I will tell you from experience with "repeaters" that once they are connected it will give you wifi and it will be decent, but the speed will be cut in half of that of the main unit. That is just how it works in the real world. However since the wifi is quite fast and has large area of coverage you will most likely not notice that difference from a older router speed .
My wifi is running at 850Mbs and satellite runs around 500 Mbs, but since my older router was only pushing 300-400Mbs I did not really care since on that end of the house it was just tablets, phone and such that were maxed out on speed anyway

Will this prioritize devices like some other routers do?
I have the router and have not found the ability at this time to add options for priority. I have in past used keywords like "world or Warcraft, ftp, or Skype, to add to the router table but this only has multi-media enhancements for streaming audio and video. Since this is still new and with the bonuses it has already for speed and coverage, I would assume this option will be made available in future firmware/software updates

you can use this for what ever program you would use a mouse for. that is what it is really. However since APS is working with Wacom you will get the rated pressure sensitivity in the program and any other drawing/art app that supports pens with pressure and not just a pointing device
