The Denon DHT-S517 premium soundbar takes your home entertainment up a notch with its left and right channel tweeters and midrange drivers, a dedicated center-channel driver, and two up-firing speakers, while the powerful wireless subwoofer delivers enhanced bass for your music, movies, and TV shows. Experience crystal clear dialogue and enveloping sound with Denon’s dialogue enhancer that lets you turn up the dialogue without having to adjust overall volume. Features a pure mode that eliminates surround processing and removes any adjusted characteristics associated with Movie, Music, or Night modes. Additionally, the DHT-S517 allows unlimited wireless music streaming at your fingertips via Bluetooth. Connect your Bluetooth-enabled smart device and directly stream your music to the soundbar. Enjoy a single-wire connection to your TV with included HDMI input and output with Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) (Non-HDMI ARC TVs can connect via the digital optical input). All cables are included for a simplified setup.
Solid soundbar for small to medium rooms.
Customer Rating
5.0
Solid performance and easy setup, hallmarks of Denon equipment. You're given a few connection options beyond HDMI eARC/ARC audio - optical audio and analog 3.5mm inputs for older TVs and equipment, and Bluetooth connectivity for listening to music through your phone. Unlike some other soundbars, The Denon DHT-S517 treats each port as an individual input. You'll also not lose your HDMI port to this soundbar as it does passthrough.
Setup was simple. Place the soundbar, connect power and HDMI to your eARC or ARC HDMI port (Sony, TCL, and Hisense all use the 4th input port for this), place your subwoofer where you want it, power everything on. The subwoofer was already paired for me which made life easy.
Once everything is physically set up, use the remote included to set your input mode, sound mode, and dialog enhancer. On some TV sets, you may also need to go into your settings to configure your HDMI port to support ARC or eARC properly, along with the power and remote functions over HDMI (also called HDMI CEC). After it's set up, you'll only need to touch your Denon remote to change input modes should you want to listen to music through your phone.
So how's the sound quality? Considering the soundbar's size, it's pretty good. The subwoofer definitely helps with the low end. The Dolby Atmos decoding was there in a smaller room but seemed to be swallowed up by my living room as I moved away from the soundbar, due to the room size; the sweet spot for Atmos seemed like 5 to 9 feet from the soundbar. Playback through Bluetooth from your phone may not sound as good as your earbuds do, as this soundbar doesn't support AAC or "lossless" headphone CODECs, which is a little disappointing but expected. For small to medium rooms, it's a good choice.
Overall, I was pleased with the setup and overall quality of the Denon DHT-S517 soundbar. The analog and optical inputs were pleasant surprises, leaving connectivity for Dolby audio from older gaming systems and analog input for a DAC for my phone.

With the Ninja Foodi Power Mixer System, you can tackle all your essential food prep tasks in no time. Its 750-peak-watt power-dense motor lets you power through tough ingredients, evenly mix cookie dough, and blend drinks or soups. Simply connect the PowerBase with one of two attachments to transform it into whatever you need it to be. Mix, whisk, and blend—all in one.
Nice immersion blender with bonus mixer mode
Customer Rating
5.0
This works great as both a mixer and an immersion blender. I felt like the motor had no problem whipping up a batch of meringue cookies and making whipped cream, with the mixer having 5 speeds and the immersion blender having two (thanks to a turbo button). Changing out tools is super simple and the immersion attachment is completely dishwasher safe. It also comes with a jar for use with the immersion blender attachment and the mixer attachment has both a pair of beaters and a whisk.
Everything is packaged well. Setup is super-easy and very intuitive, with release buttons on the tools for switching things out. Usage of the unit in either mode is intuitive as well; the immersion blender mode just has a power button and a "turbo" button for high speed until you release it; the mixer mode has 5 speeds, including a "turbo" button that takes you straight to high speed until you release it.
The other part about this kit is its overall power; a half cup of heavy cream became fresh whipped cream in maybe 2 minutes, and it whipped merengue faster than my older hand mixer does by about a minute and a half.

MGC Switchplate Wireless Controller for Switch and Windows PC. Featuring a compact design and 2 swappable magnetic faceplates in white and black, the Switchplate perfectly enhances the aesthetic and play of the Switch OLED, Switch and Switch Lite consoles. In addition to clean style, the Switchplate is packed with all the features you expect from a premium wireless controller:
Pretty solid and easily customizable controller
Customer Rating
5.0
TL;DR - The Switchplate controller is solid, with compatibility to the Nintendo Switch. It functions exactly how you would expect, and compared to similar (and more expensive controllers) for the Switch, it's everything you would want. For fighting games, FPS games, sports games, and puzzle games, it works well. However, the key feature of this controller - the switchable magnetic faceplates - also feel like the most fragile part about it.
Unboxing and setup:
It comes packed well with a plastic piece holding the controller, the second faceplate boxed up, a decent-length USB-A to USB-C charge cable, and instructions. Pairing to the Switch was simple and quick. Swapping the faceplates does take some effort, but I promise that you won't break it even though it feels like you will.
Usage:
The only part I like better about other controllers is a little more motion in the shoulder trigger buttons, but that's not a big deal with Switch as the trigger buttons aren't analog anyway. There is a nice addition over other Switch controllers I've used in the underpad trigger buttons. The sticks were both responsive and the buttons felt solid overall. Wireless range was also fairly impressive - I was still connected with no interference at a little over 45 feet away from my console.
Negatives:
Like I said, the key feature of the Switchplate - the magnetically-attached faceplates - felt a little more fragile than I was hoping for. The magnets are very strong, which does add to this problem.
Closing:
I hope the ecosystem around this controller grows. The Switchplate has a lot of possibility for its future.

The Vulcan II Max Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard combines durability, performance, and functionality into a dazzling RGB filled design. The exclusive TITAN II Optical switches have a smooth, hyper-fast actuation and incredible durability with a 100 million click life cycle. Feel confident in your keystrokes with 24 multi-function smart keys featuring a unique dedicated LED to indicate when secondary functions are active. Enter game mode to access Easy-Shift [+] button duplicator technology and unlock a second programmable function layer. The detachable, translucent silicone palm rest sets the stage for ROCCAT’s AIMO RGB lighting displays right out of the box and can sync with other compatible AIMO products.
Solid keyboard for the price.
Customer Rating
5.0
TL;DR - a very solid mechanical keyboard for both gaming and productivity. The Titan II switches are very solid performers and not too loud, too. The lighting is completely adjustable in Roccat Swarm. The only real negative is the keyboard cable isn't detachable like with previous Vulkan series keyboards, and it requires TWO USB ports as this keyboard can draw a lot of power. Otherwise, I'm extremely happy with it.
Unboxing, setup, and first impressions:
This is packaged nicely with the keyboard and palm rest wrapped separately. You'll need to slide the tabs for the palm rest into the bottom of the keyboard, which was a pretty simple task for me.
When connecting to your computer, you'll need to plug in both USB-A connectors; the keyboard didn't want to respond for me, EVEN IN BIOS, when only one connector was plugged in. For those with very few USB ports, this may be a drawback (I'm looking at you, laptop users).
The Swarm software is a quick download; visit Roccat's support page and you'll find the link almost immediately. For those of you already using Swarm, you may need to update the software before the keyboard is detected.
Usage:
Response is nearly immediate. The feel is terrific, especially when you're using the silicon palmrest. The keys themselves are not too loud, which is a refreshing change from most mechanical keyboards. Unlike some mechanical keyboards, the space bar is very stable on this one.
The Roccat software does take some "getting used to" when it comes to customization, but once you get the hang of it, you can set up your keyboard to look however you'd like it to. The lighting supports 24-bit color for a total of about 16.8 million colors. You'll likely want to turn the brightness down as soon as you install the Swarm software.
There are also dedicated media keys, a volume knob that doubles as a mute switch, and a function key that allows certain keys to perform different functions, such as switching lighting and game profiles, enabling screen recording, mic mute, and chat functionality, and even performing macros.
Like stated earlier, the only drawback for me with this keyboard is the lack of a detachable cable. It's easier for me to run a cable from the computer to the keyboard. The cable is long enough for most setups, however. For some, the two USB ports required for use may be a problem, especially with laptops and older desktops that have fewer USB ports available.
Final thoughts:
All in all, the Roccat Vulcan II is an evolution over their prior models, with a couple of nice things added to make it a better overall experience.

The Samsung Jet 60 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum features a lightweight and maneuverable design plus a removable battery for extended cleaning time up to 40 minutes. The mini motorized tool is perfect for cleaning up pet dander and allergens. Compatible with the Samsung Clean Station.
Solid value.
Customer Rating
5.0
TL;DR - The Samsung Jet 60 Pet cordless vacuum is a solid, lightweight choice for quick cleanups around the house. The battery life is decent, setup is easy, and cleaning it out is simple. If you have a larger home and want to use this as your primary vacuum, consider purchasing additional batteries for it.
Unboxing and setup:
Everything is well-organized inside the box. The packaging material is all cardboard, so it's easily recyclable. Everything is wrapped in a plastic bag that can be recycled with your grocery bags, and only the main unit and both included power heads have peels on the clear plastic parts.
Everything assembles easily. The hardest part is finding a place for the charge base so it's out of the way but still connected to power; you'll want a drill for pilot holes when you put the screws into your wall for the charge base.
Usage:
It's a vacuum cleaner, but battery powered. There are buttons for power and speed on the main part of the unit - low speed is quiet and good for removing dust from shelves, ceiling fans, and cobwebs; medium is a balance of power, sound, and battery life; and high is powerful but loud and drains the battery fast. It has a similar weight to a battery-powered impact wrench or yard blower with a high-capacity battery installed.
The battery charge takes a bit to complete, but there are blue indicator LEDs to show you where the battery level is. The charge base can charge the battery in the vacuum or on its own.
You should clean this machine after every use. remove the dust bin assembly, tap the lint collected out of the screen assembly (it's the silver part), and it's ready for next time.
Final thoughts - The Samsung Jet 60 Pet is the first battery vacuum I've used that, for the price, feels like an excellent machine. It cleans as well as the more expensive brands and is a solid value.

Don’t let your phone battery die as you go throughout your day. The Insignia NS-MW320C1W22 20W USB-C Compact Wall Charger for iPhone has a high, 20-watt output to quickly charge your iPhone, tablet, smartwatch and more. Its compact and durable body with a foldable plug easily fits into a purse or pocket, ready for when you need it. A simple white design pairs well with your other accessories. Keep your iPhone working as hard as you do with this fast, easy-to-carry charger.
Solid charger
Customer Rating
5.0
This is a solid 20-watt fast charger. It is compatible with every device that can be charged via USB you own, as long as you have the correct cable. With capable devices, you can charge at up to 20 watts; on top of iPhones and iPads, Android devices that support the USB-PD standard can charge at up to 20 watts as well.
My iPhone 11 and my wife's iPhone 12 both charge at the 20-watt rating. My son's iPad charges at 12 watts. Using an USB-C to USB micro-B cable, you can also power Roku, Fire, and Android TV devices at up to 11 watts.
The biggest positive with this charger is it doesn't have a power indicator light, which means it doesn't double as a nightlight. The USB-C port feels very solid, and the folding prongs both easily fold out and don't feel flimsy.
The only thing I would have liked to see with the charger is an included USB-C to Lightning cable, but most people buying this adapter will already have their USB-C to Lighting cable that came with their iPhone.
All in all, a solid charger.

MSI - Delta AMD Advantage Edition 15.6" FHD 240hz Gaming Laptop - Ryzen R7-5800 - Radeon RX6700M - 1TB SSD - 16GB Memory
Unexpected. Unseen. Unreal. The Delta 15 AMD Advantage Edition uses the latest AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor and Radeon RX 6700M graphics. Coming in at 4.19lbs light and 0.75in thin, the Delta 15 supports SmartShift, Smart Access Memory and Wi-Fi 6E for powerful performance inside a premium chassis. Break through and set off a new standard in gaming with the Delta 15.
Solid gaming machine with small flaws.
Customer Rating
4.0
TL;DR - The MSI Delta 15 is a solid gaming laptop with a few issues. While performance is terrific and the included 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD perform well, upgrading the laptop for more RAM and storage will prove difficult in the future. The other minor issue I have is my spacebar tends to double-space on its own for anything outside of gaming. The Ryzen 5800H processor and Radeon RX6700 graphics are more than powerful enough for anything you throw at them - gaming, video editing, graphics work, and even 3D design.
Unboxing and first impressions:
Its packaged well, with a couple of things to peel and the power supply wires in bags. Included literature is sparce, which is a good thing in this day and age.
The Delta 15 build quality is pretty good overall - solid aluminum body with a dark grey matte finish and a matte screen. The keyboard felt okay, the trackpad felt good.
The initial powering on went pretty quickly - just the registration screen and a few updates that went quickly.
Usage:
For its intended purpose, it's solid. Every game I threw at it, from CyberPunk to Battlefield to Halo, all ran at 1080p and over 60 fps. Add a solid mouse and you have a portable battlestation. The screen's 1080p native resolution is fine for the 15.6 inch screen size, and its HDR image quality is terrific.
As a video editing machine, the Ryzen 5800H powers through everything with ease. Adobe Premiere and AfterEffects ran smoothly, as did DiVinci Resolve.
For some 3D modeling, I did run both AutoCAD and Maya and found them to be much more responsive than I expected from a laptop. Cinebench gave me results of 1450 for a single core and 12790 for the multicore test.
For web surfing, productivity, and just general computing, I'm torn on the Delta 15 - the performance is amazing, but the keyboard ruins it for me with its automatic double-spacing.
Finally, while the laptop is upgradable, its memory and M.2 slots require that the entire motherboard come out for what should be a single memory or storage upgrade. For most people, this isn't a big deal because they'll likely just want a new laptop when they want to upgrade.
Final thoughts:
The MSI Delta 15 is a solid choice for gamers. The keyboard could use improvement, as could the upgradeability for the RAM and storage. The screen is great, the build quality is great, the trackpad is great. It's a pretty solid buy overall.

Power through your hardest or easiest workout with the GO Air Sport, the perfect everyday sport earbud.

Auto connect to your device and add some color to your workout.
Solid buds for the price.
Customer Rating
4.0
These are a solid pair of earbuds when you’re looking for something for working out or working outside. The included tips fit well, the ear clips hold the earbuds to your ear comfortably, and the sound is good if you’re not looking for something entirely too bass-heavy, though the lack of AptX and AAC decoding is noticeable with quieter music and live recordings. Using for phone calls is particularly good, and the charging case with botH USB-A connection and Qi wireless for charging is a great added bonus.
The only real drawbacks to these earbuds are a lack of “Find My”-like capability that competing earbuds do have. While these are inexpensive enough where I could easily afford to replace them, it’ll annoy me if I were to lose one side and find it months later.
The other real win here is the color matching. jLab did a great job of matching plastics and silicone where it’s all one solid color instead of two or more different colors across different materials. The packaging is also a win, as there is very little of it.
All in all, if you need an affordable pair of buds for the gym or running outside, these are it.

Emerson - Sensi Touch Smart Programmable Wi-Fi Thermostat- Works with Alexa, C-Wire Required - Silver
From across the room or across the country, Sensi makes it easy for you to remotely control and schedule your home comfort - Anytime. Anywhere.
Solid connected thermostat
Customer Rating
5.0
The Emerson Sensi Touch thermostat is a relatively easy to setup and configure thermostat. It easily pairs with Siri/Homekit, Google Assistant, Alexa, and even Samsung SmartThings (though I didn't test with Alexa and Samsung). Though my setup is a traditional gas furnace and air conditioner setup, it's compatible with electric heat, radiant heat, and even heat pumps with auxiliary heat.
Installation is a relative breeze if you're comfortable with the idea of removing your existing thermostat which can have up to 10 wires running into it with certain setups. For my setup, it was 5 wires. Keep in mind that if you have an older analog thermostat or a programmable thermostat using batteries, you may need to replace the current thermostat wire, which means calling a professional. The installation kit included also has stickers for the wires should the connections be mislabeled.
The unit itself is stylish. You can also get a backplate for it if you want some contrast with your wall.
Once wired up, setup is easy. It'll walk you through connecting, either via HomeKit with an iPhone or a more traditional WiFi pairing method with Android devices. You'll also need to create a Sensi account in the Emerson Sensi app; this will allow you to set the temperature from your phone, program schedules for when the system changes temperature, and helps you pair the thermostat to Google, Alexa, and SmartThings for voice assistant control.
Compared to my previous smart thermostat, the Sensi was much easier to configure for WiFi and operating the thermostat itself is much easier thanks to the touch display. The only real problem I came across was due to removing my old thermostat, but once that was done, I found the installation relatively easy. It also had more features as far as controlling my cooling system is concerned, from how long my furnace blower should run to what temperature range is acceptable between runs (the temperature can vary by around 3 degrees at the thermostat where my previous thermostat would constantly turn the system on and off if it varied by a single degree).
Other things that this thermostat can control are variable speed blowers, humidification, dehumidification, and multiple Sensi thermostats can be used to control multizone HVAC systems.
So would I recommend this thermostat? If you want a connected and easy-to-use replacement for your older thermostat, especially one that doesn't allow for programming, then yes, absolutely. It's also a good replacement for more basic WiFi thermostats. The ease of installation and design make this unit worth the cost.

Great controller held back by software bugs
Customer Rating
4.0
TL;DR - The Nacon RIG Revolution X controller is terrific as a controller and a good, wired option for Xbox owners looking for a wired controller that gives you a step up over the standard controllers, though for Windows gamers, the configuration software leaves a lot to be desired. While not as physically flexible as other pro-style controllers with bottom macro buttons, the buttons are easy to reach.
First impressions - the controller itself is solid. Buttons all feel good, sticks feel good. The ability to change from concave to convex stick faces is a great added bonus, as some people won't like the convex while others don't like concave sticks. The weights are easy to install into the controller, and the included USB-C controller cable looks and feels great (though the Velcro included to help store the stick is on the wrong end of the cable, but that's easily fixed...) The travel case is also a solid bonus, great for laptop gamers like me.
Usage - the controller itself was rather impressive. After I put the 16-gram weights in, it felt great in my hand; there are also lighter 8- and 10-gram weights included. Games new and old controlled perfectly with it. The buttons on the underside were easy to press. Maybe the only drawback of the controller was the bright green lighting behind the right stick. While I was not able to use the Revolution X app in Windows to fix this problem (both Windows 10 and Windows 11), I was able to do so on an XBox Series S without issue.
Headphones sound great through this controller. I used a pair of JBL Everest 310s and I could hear everything around me. This controller also supports ATMOS audio.
So if you're looking for a high-quality pro-style controller for your XBox console, this is a winner. For Windows gamers, I'd look elsewhere until Nacon fixes the app.

Can this new Indoor Cam Mini connect to the Eufy HomeBase? I would like for the IndoorDam store data on the base for easy access and control.
It stores data on the camera itself and not on a Homebase module. However, you still access the video like you would with Homebase-connected cameras - via the app.

Can this be used with IPad Pro 10.5 inch
It can if you used a Camera Connection Kit and a Powered USB 3.x Hub. The lightning port by itself doesn't output enough power to run this drive.
For newer iPad Pros with USB-C connectors, you could just use a USB-C to USB 3.0 Micro B cable.
Either way, you'd need to format this drive using a computer first to a supported format (I believe that would be either ExFAT, HFS+, or APFS).

Does this need a 3.0 slot to work correctly on an xbox series x? Will it work in a usb hub on the xbox series x with only 2.0 slots available?
It can work with a USB 2.0 hub, but it will run at approximately 1/3 the speed you'd get with a USB 3.x connection (40 megabyte per second transfers on USB 2.0 versus 120 megabyte per second transfers over USB 3.x).

It should, but you'd be better off with a less expensive external drive as the Xbox 360 series of devices do not have USB 3.0 connections and even the slowest of external drives currently available can saturate a USB 2.0 connection.
