Get eyes on your real front door: The myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad lets you see and control who opens your garage door. Grant access by assigning unique PIN codes for family, guests, or service providers. Get meaningful insights with real-time alerts that will tell you when someone has accessed your garage. Easy installation with integrated Bluetooth technology makes for quick Wi-Fi pairing. A must have for any smart home. Only works with myQ, Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Raynor, and AccessMaster garage door openers made after 1993.
Very Nice Garage Keypad With Camera
Customer Rating

The Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Video Keypad is a good device but falls just short of being excellent.
First, installation is a breeze. I have installed standard garage door openers before, and they were something of a pain to set up. The MyQ app walks you through installation, which greatly simplies setup. You don't have to enter PIN numbers to set a code. After selecting the proper color for the learn button on your garage door opener, you just enter the code on the keypad and press the home button for up to five seconds. Your garage light should flicker to let you know it paired, but then the app instructs you to enter your code to ensure it works. Sure enough, it worked on the first try.
Mounting it is not particularly difficult. It comes with a mount that angles slightly out, so the camera gives you a better view of your driveway than of your garage door, which is useful.
The unit is battery operated. While this is good in that you don't need to worry about wires, the battery is a pain to access and runs down much faster than the batteries in traditional door openers. On top of that, the battery takes hours for each charge and uses an old-style micro-USB cable. It's hard to understand why MyQ used this older, slower charging technology for something you don't really want to be out of commission for an extended period of time. You can buy a spare battery, but this is still a miss for an otherwise great product.
Of note, it also can only control one garage door. That happens to work for me b/c I already had two separate garage door controllers, so I just used this to replace the older one. But you should be aware in case you are trying to control two doors with it.
So my suggestions would be:
1. Easier battery access;
2. Faster charging connection; and
3. Control multiple doors.
1. Easier battery access;
2. Faster charging connection; and
3. Control multiple doors.
Still, though, this is an innovated device and it is useful. Since I can access it via the MyQ app, I can open or close the garage door from anywhere. Plus, the camera feature could be handy in some situations. Overall, I like it a lot. I just wish they had thought through those three issues I mentioned a little more.

The Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Security Camera is an awesome little device.
Earlier this year, I had to replace the drive unit for my 2-car garage door. We went with a Chamberlain with built in myQ camera. But we had not replaced the drive unit for the single car garage on the other side. Enter this little guy.
As with other myQ products, it just works.
Installation is incrediby simple. Pair it with the myQ app, connect it to your WifFi (via the app), and then determine where and how to mount it in your garage. It will need to be in reach of a power outlet.
My garage drive housing is metal, so I didn't need the included adhesive pad since the mounting base for the camera has a very strong magnet. I cleaned the bottom of my garage door drive and simply stuck the bottom of the camera to it with the built-in magnet. I then plugged it in and tied off the cord. While looking at the image in the app, I then adjusted the angle for the camera. Note, it adjusts vertically and horizontally.
Image quality is quite good both in regular light and night time. I can monitor the garage door from anywhere via the app. And with another myQ accessory, I can open or close the garage door from anywhere.
In short, this is a super easy-to-use garage camera with super simple installation and solid image quality.
Setup includes 30 days free of myQ's cloud subscription service, but you don't need to use the cloud service to take advantage of the basic camera functions.

Rocking Little Multi-Port Hub
Customer Rating
5.0
I have long been a fan of multi-port USB hubs given the storage and data options of modern computers. This 7-port Insignia hub is the best I have used.
First, it connects via USB-C, which all of my devices use. So that is convenient. And, of course, it is fast.
When you connect to a computer, you don't need to do anything. It just works. That's the way it should be. No need to install some funky software interface that just wastes space on your hard drive. I was also able to connect it to my phone (a Google Pixel) and view and manipulate files on the drive. That is super handy.
Specs and features list:
* 7-port hub. Connects various devices to your laptop or phone with a USB-C port.
* HDMI port with 4K resolution at 60Hz. Lets you mirror or extend your screen while displaying true-to-life images.
* Ethernet port. Supports high-speed internet with full 10/100/1000 Mbps superfast Gigabit Ethernet performance.
* Two USB 3.0 ports. Grant a high data transfer rate.
* SD and Micro SD slots. Lets you transfer files with ease. I like that it has both full-sized and micro SD slots instead of forcing you to use the SD converter.
* USB-C Power Delivery port. Charges your devices while you work. Also very handy.
* 5 Gbps data transfer speed. Helps you work more efficiently by quickly uploading and downloading photos, videos, music and other files. In my use, it has been very fast.
* Up to 85W. Efficiently charges your laptop with a 100W wall adapter. I haven't really used it this way, but it is nice to have the option.
* Plug and play technology. Requires no additional drivers for an easy hookup. As mentioned earlier, I really appreciated that it didn't require installing bloatware.
* Wide compatibility. Works with Windows 10 & 11, macOS 10.12, Chrome OS 81 and Android OS. I have used it with Windows 11 and Android OS 14.
* Slim design. Easily fits in your pocket, purse, backpack and more for easy transport.
* Braided, 4.53 in. (11.5 cm) cable. Grants flexible placement while keeping the hub nearby.
* HDMI port with 4K resolution at 60Hz. Lets you mirror or extend your screen while displaying true-to-life images.

Capture the raw exhilaration of any moment with striking image quality and unmatched flexibility, even when the lights dim. Osmo Action 4 empowers thrill-seekers to record it all, share the rush, and set the tone.
Impressive Action Camera
Customer Rating
5.0
The DJI Osmo Action 4 4k Action Camera Adventure Bundle is a pretty sweet option for folks who want a good-quality, durable, portable, action camera. I have been impressed.
This camera is used in multiple ways, including: hiking, camping, kayaking, motorcyling, off-roading, and (planned but not yet) snow skiing.
I have tested it extensively and am very pleased.
Connecting to the DJI app on your phone is easy and quick. This makes it super easy to edit photos and to transfer them to your primary mobile photo albums.
Low-light performance is particularly strong, especially for this genre of camera. The editing software also offers useful enhancements, should you be so inclined.
Color and image quality top-notch. I appreciate that I don't get nearly the "fish-eye" look that you get from some similar products. Beyond that color, the color gamut seems true to the eye and helps enhance the overall appearace of photos and video.
Battery life has been fantastic. I can use it over extended periods without even swapping the battery, but I REALLY appreciate the fact this pack includes three batteries and a portable battery case to keep them topped off. I feel confident taking this setup on any trip and wish I'd had it earlier this year when we toured Europe.
Video is steady and seamless. You don't feel jerked around while watching video from the DJI Osmo Action 4. It's just a nice camera that does a really nice job.
Of course, the Adventure Bundle comes with a variety of useful accessories, including:
* Osmo Action Horizontal-Vertical Protective Frame,
* Osmo Action Quick-Release Adapter Mount (this is also magnetic, which makes it easier to use),
* Osmo Action Quick-Release Adapter Mount (Mini),
* Osmo Action Curved Adhesive Base,
* Osmo 1.5m Extension Rod,
* Osmo Action Lens Hood, and
* Osmo Action Anti-Slip Pad.
* Osmo Action Quick-Release Adapter Mount (this is also magnetic, which makes it easier to use),
* Osmo Action Quick-Release Adapter Mount (Mini),
* Osmo Action Curved Adhesive Base,
* Osmo 1.5m Extension Rod,
* Osmo Action Lens Hood, and
* Osmo Action Anti-Slip Pad.
My only minor gripe is that there is no onboard memory at all. You can't take any photos without a memory card, and the package doesn't include even a basic micro SD card. So count on spending a little extra money for a memory card. But the good news is micro SD cards are pretty cheap now.
Overall, this is a very nice action camera with a useful accessory pack.
Overall, I love this little guy.

Game on a retro-inspired Dell G15 5535 gaming laptop with all the modern essentials for everyday gaming. Equipped with 15.6" FHD 120 Hz Display for immersive gameplay. Experience powerful gaming experience with the latest AMD Ryzen 5 CPU.
Fun Gaming Laptop
Customer Rating
5.0
After an early hiccup, I have been impressed with the Dell G15 15.6" Gaming Laptop with AMD Ryzen 5 and, more importantly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050.
The early hiccup is that the computer started overheating and struggling to run anything above 20 FPS while only browsing. Plus, the fans wouldn't turn on. This happened around day three of use. Task manager showed no background tasks. Issue was resolved after installing a critical graphics driver update. However, this was through Dell Assist, and the update did not show up through the standard Windows Update process.
But the update corrected the issue and the computer has run very smoothly ever since.
Of course, like any new computer, there is a degree of bloatware. I recommend removing those programs.
To be clear, this is a mid-level gaming laptop. It has solid specs that will work just great for the vast majority of gamers out there. With 6 cores and 12 threads, it is perfect for a minimal gamer who sticks to AA games or low processing AAA games. It has plenty of storage with 1 TB for all minimal to moderate gamers. And you have great fps with 16 GB of RAM.
This little guy chugs right along and runs League of Legends with ease at more than 240 FPS. The NVIDIA graphics drivers are easy to update and don’t have any issues running any games.
The sound from the speaker is very good for a laptop.
Now that the fans do run, they are a touch on the loud side. That seems typical at this price point.
It includes a G button for increasing performance for gaming. This increases speed but also the noise.
The processor handles multitasking effectively, even while running games.
Just a note to mention the power brick is pretty substantial.
The design and look of the laptop is just fun.
Overall, the laptop seems to be at a fair price and ideal for minimal to moderate gamers. I am happy to recommend it.

Terrific Portable Charger / Power Source

5.0
I really appreciate the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus Portable Power Solar Generator. It is a handy device. I actually used this to keep our modem and router powered recently when our power went out for a few hours.
We also use this for camping. We have a powered cooler, and this keeps it nice and cool. Unfortunately, I don't have the solar charger adapter for it, but I may add that soon.
Of course, it can also charge phones and other portable devices. It has USB charging ports and a standard power outlet. It also has a 12v port.
There is an app, but the app is mostly useful for monitoring your battery levels. I have not discerned whether using the app results in more of a power drain (since it connects to WiFi an via Bluetooth). I would appreciate the ability to turn the Jackery off via the app, but I haven't found an option for that other than changing the auto shut-down timer (fastest auto shutoff is 2 hours).
I appreciate that the power cable is heavy duty and appears to be weatherized for outdoor use.
The Jackery takes about 2 hours to fully charge.
Overall, I've been impressed. This is a handy device.

Versatile Tower Speaker With Great Sound
Customer Rating
5.0
The LG XBOOM XL5 Portable Tower Party Speaker is a lot of fun. I got this for our youngest daughter to take to college.
Although the word "portable" in the title is accurate (mostly thanks to the built-in handle grips), the speaker is large and relatively heavy, so I'd view it more as "luggable" than "portable." For instance, it would be fine to take out to the back deck or pool, but you would not want to have to carry it to the beach and back.
That said, the XL5 is a terrifically fun speaker with great sound. The pulsing light has a few different settings, accesible in the app. You can also customize the sound. I should note the heft of the speaker really helps it shine when it comes to rich sound and, if you like, thumping bass. Regardless, the sound is clear and clean. It doesn't get muddied in the low ranges, and it doesn't distort when you crank the volume. I was really impressed with the sound.
In addition to the pulsing lights, another fun party trick is that the XL5 has a built in mic jack so you can sing karaoke. Of course, you can tune the sound to better match the song or your voice.
Even more fascinating to me is that the XL5 has a guitar jack, which is just awesome. So in one device, you get a great party speaker, a karaoke machine, and a guitar amp. I wish I had that in college!

ASUS CX1700CK Chromebook: Stay productive and entertained with this ASUS 17.3-inch Chromebook notebook.
Solid Large-Screen Chromebook
Customer Rating
4.0
The ASUS 17.3" Chromebook is a fairly pleasant laptop replacement.
In terms of appearance, it has a pleasant machined silver exterior. The body is plastic instead of metal. While there is some noticable flex, it holds up reasonably well.
I knew it was NOT a touchscreen, but I'm so used to dealing with touchscreens, that I instinctively reached out to the screen repeatedly the first day I set it up and used it. Fortunately, that habit does diminish. I know it's a large screen and ASUS was meeting a pricepoint here, but I do wish it had a touchscreen.
The screen, however, is very pleasant. It's not an ultra HD display, but it is full HD resolution. Text appears crisp and images are reasonable quality. It does not stack up to a 2k machine, but it does stack up very well to a Windows machine costing two to three times as much as it does. That is a win, in my opinion.
Another win is the keyboard. While travel is a little on the shallow side, the sensation is tactile and the keys are well spaced and comforable. They are NOT backlit, in another cost-saving move. However, it does have a full number pad (albeit, slightly reduced size).
The clickpad is large and works well. It is a hinged pad and easy to operate. Two-finger scrolling works well and is always recognized.
I have a recent Pixel phone. integration with the phone and the Chromebook is a nice plus. The Chrome OS happily and natively pairs with your phone and shares some information.
For most personal uses, ChromeOS is very solid. You can access lots of apps, including the old standbys, such as Office.
For the pricepoint, there are a lot of things this ASUS does well. If it had a touchscreen and backlit keys (even if those meant a 15" screen instead), this would be a stellar 5-star device. But not having those options will make it less useful for some settings, so I lower the rating to 4 stars.
Of course, I'd prefer a metal body with minimal flex. I've got one of thoese premium machines and love it. This is built to be something different. And I will say the plastic body makes the weight that much more manageable.
It gets only a little warm sitting on your lap, but it has not gotten particularly hot so far. That's a good sign.
Memory is fairly limited, but I haven't seen it bog down yet. And most things you do with it are in the cloud, anyway, so you don't need the gobs of storage space you might be thinking of with traditional laptops.
Overall, this is a pleasant, easy-to-use device that does a lot of things well.

Customer Rating
4.0
This RCA remote is a solid, functional universal remote. It controls up to three devices. I use it to control our bedroom TV and Roku. I appreciate that it works well with the Roku; I can't say that about some other basic universal remotes.
It is rechargable, so no need to keep replacing batteries. It charges fairly quickly via USB-C. That's convenient for us because we already have several USB-C charging cables in the room.
Setup was simple and fairly quick.
This is a basic control, which is fine for how I'm using it. I would not recommend this remote or others like it for use with a primary home entertainment system. That is not what it is designed for.
My only complaint about my intended use for it is that backlit keys would have been very helpful. I may end up swapping it to a different TV in the house as a result. But we don't tend to watch TV in total darkness, either, so still thinking about that one.
In short, it is easy to set up and works well. It would benefit from backlit keys, but otherwise is a very good option for a basic remote.

Solid Printer With Frustrating Installation
Customer Rating
3.0
I had been thinking about replacing my old multifunction color laser printer when I came across this Canon imageCLASS MF645Cdw multifunction color laser printer, so I decided to give it a shot.
The printer itself does a good job. It comes with the toner packs pre-installed. They are somewhat small, so I'm a little concerned about how many copies I'll get from these toner packs. I really appreciate that it can natively print double-sided pages. That alone is worth the upgrade from my old printer.
But I am incredibly disappointed in the setup process. To be clear, I am a bit of a geek and am used to setting up equipment on my home network. I tried installing this printer with two different Windows 11 computers, using only WiFi for one and a LAN connection for the other. As of this writing, only the one via LAN has been able to utilize the printer. The WiFi setup did not work despite multiple attempts. I then uninstalled the drivers on the one I had done with a LAN connection and tried to set up from that computer via WiFi. Still no dice.
My phone also could not find the printer via our WiFi network. I was excited when I found a QR code link in the on-screen settings for mobile device setup. But it didn't work with my Android phone. Perhaps it was set to only work with an iPhone, but it didn't say that anywhere. Fortunately, I was able to add it directly via IP address, but that also means it is bypassing my WiFi network, and I don't have any remote print capability from my phone.
In case you're wondering whether I had it properly connected to my WiFi network, it says it is connected and it was able to check for updates and download them with the LAN cable disconnected.
I even tried connecting the LAN cable to my router, which can serve as a print server. Still no dice printing wirelessly.
It's a bit bizarre that the printer comes with a setup CD. We had moved a few months ago, and I no longer even have a CD drive in any of my computers. I had to go through boxes in my attic to find an external drive that was still packed up. Of course, the fact my CD drive was packed up is not Canon's fault, but it wouldn't have been a problem if the printer came with instructions to download the drivers or had an easier setup process.
Similarly, I did not see a helpful mobile app from Canon. Perhaps they have one, but they do not make it easy to find. The printed documentation didn't have a QR code that might link to an app or any reference to an app.
In short, the setup was a miserable experience that negatively colors my impression of this otherwise perfectly good printer.
My only other complaints are:
1. The touch screen is too touchy, which leads to opening the wrong tab while trying to scroll, and
2. The printer goes to sleep in something like 3 seconds of inactivity. Granted, it usually still prints, but not always.
1. The touch screen is too touchy, which leads to opening the wrong tab while trying to scroll, and

If the setup process were as straightforward as my last printer - which is a different brand and more than 10 years old - I would have been thrilled with this Canon printer. Alas, that was not to be.
In terms of print quality, speed, and noise, I am satisfied with the quality of this Canon. But the WiFi issues render it largely useless for me at this point.
My router is a high-end Orbi. I suspect the Canon has some sort of compatibility issue with my Orbi, which is also somewhat bizarre. I really don't know quite what to make of this situation. It appeared most other reviews said the setup was easy, but I did see at least one other review indicating the setup was more complicated than it needed to be. Maybe that individual also has a Linksys router.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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
I saw no way to use the primary as a satellite when setting up the Orbi system. Netgear will be selling Satellites separately, though. I'd suggest waiting on that. Also, "big home" means different things to different people. I don't know if you're talking about 15,000sf or 4000sf. If closer to 4k, then the single base and satellite may be sufficient.

Will this product cover a 2000 sq. ft., one level house with only one (1) WiFi Name? The reason for this question is I'm currently using an extension to my router which has given the front of the house a different wifi name from the back of the house.
Yes, The Orbi has a primary base and a satellite, but it is one mesh network with one network name. It is not the same as a range extender (although, I should also note you can usually give a range extender the same name as your primary wifi network). However, the Orbi may be overkill for a 2000sf home.
