The Samsung monitor was easy to install. It includes an HDMI cable and the power cord. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes.

--- PERFORMANCE ---
This monitor performs great if you know what you are getting. It’s a great monitor for everyday office use or to stream movies / TV shows. However, this is not a gaming monitor. As a weekend coder, this has become my new favorite monitor to throw VS code on because it has a lot of desktop space.

The product meets my expectations. I knew going in that this was not a gaming monitor. To test it though, I connected this monitor to my Xbox Series X and I have included the picture of the Series X read for this monitor.

I do like that the on/off button is easy to access with easy to understand navigation menu arrows. The color compared to my other monitors really stands out with nice darks and bright colors. Though this is a 4K monitor, I changed the output to 1080P for my needs. However, when I take a break while eating lunch, I switch to 4K to enjoy some streaming. Setting this up as a third monitor was a breeze. It works with my Mac and my Windows 10 PC.

This is a great investment if you’re now working from home and you want to be able to put more things on your monitor to be more productive.

--- APPROVAL ---
This is a great second monitor or even third monitor for a multi-monitor setup. I approve and recommend this monitor for coders, office use, and design use. However, I don’t think this is a good monitor if your main purpose will be gaming in 4K. Works well for gaming in 1080P, though.

--- Installation---
These glasses come with 2 pairs of lenses. One pair is polarized and the other pair has blue light filtering. To remove the lenses is as easy as popping them out with a bit of force using your thumbs and popping in the ones of your choice. The blue light filters were pre-installed. Connecting via Bluetooth to mobile devices was quick and effortless.

These smart glasses have a 5 hour battery use, open-ear headphone fit, embedded mic, and your choice of blue filter or polarized lenses. The box also includes a carrying case, a cleaning cloth, a proprietary charging cable, and a discount if you want to install prescribed lenses.

--- PERFORMANCE ---
The performance of these smart glasses is phenomenal. I received the small/medium, but I have a large head. I usually look for frames that have a wider bridge length because of how wide my head is. Though these were small/medium, the temples extend outward for comfort. This means that you don’t feel them squeezing against your head, as they expand as necessary with movement. These were tested while hiking with the polarized frames on. The music was impressively loud but controllable with your mobile device.

--- EXPECTATIONS ---
The product exceeds my expectations. I honestly had a bit of doubt when I read that the audio would come through open-ear speakers. However, all doubt went away as soon as I tried them on and turned on some tunes. These are perfect for walking outdoors as they don’t cover your ears and allow you to safely listen to your surroundings. However, if you turn the volume loud enough, you can drown out the ambient sound (thought for safety reasons, I don’t recommend you listen to anything with the volume at 100 percent). The carrying case looks great and fits the lenses and the proprietary charging cable. It would be nice if the cable was more universal, like a USB-C. However, it is a unique cable that requires connection through both temples tips.

Listening to podcasts or music while protecting your eyes from the sun / blue light of screens is a definite worthy investment. One less device to worry about carrying if you already wear glasses.

The performance of these headphones is great. I was able to start listening to my music and podcasts in seconds and better yet, I had control of the audio from the left earbud. I could easily raise and lower the volume and I could pause my audio with the center button. Listening to music with a snug fit, I was able to hear all the beats as I performed my activity of choice.

The product meets my expectations. I do like that they sit comfortably in my ear without feeling loose. This gives me security that they won’t fall off, and they never did while I was using them. I used them as I walked on an uneven trail with rough terrain under my feet. At no point did I have to readjust them. When I returned home, they continued to work as they are sweat-resistant. From there, I plugged them into an iPad that we have on a kitchen counter wall that is used exclusively for streaming shows. It was great to hear my TV shows without disturbing my wife as she worked on her coding.

This Mr. Coffee machine is small to save countertop space, can be programmed to brew at a specific time (later), has an option for strong brew, advanced water filtration, and a reusable single cup coffee filter. Best of all, it accepts K-Cup pods and regular grounded coffee. It’s a two-in-one machine!

The performance of this coffee machine was great. I prefer making my coffee with grounded beans while my wife loves the convenience of K-Cups. The K-Cup option is by far the simplest way to make coffee in this brewer. Simple pull out the handle and insert a K-Cup of your choice in the pod slot.

Whenever you want to use ground coffee you have two options. Option one is to use the included reusable K-Cup-like coffee filter. The second option is to use disposable filters to make a carafe similar to how we used to make coffee before K-Cups were a thing. This is a great option for when you have a family of coffee lovers or when friends visit you and you need to make more than a single serving quickly. Either option worked well and provided consistent coffee flavor.
--- EXPECTATIONS ---
The product meets my expectations but I do wish that a measuring spoon was included for the single cup coffee filter. Since there is no included measurement spoon, you have to use what you have. I found the process a bit messy as the filter doesn’t indicate how full you need to fill it. Otherwise, the coffee machine is perfect for the convenience of being able to use coffee pods or grounded beans. The carafe does keep your coffee hot for several hours and the brew later option can save you time and it starts to brew your drink automatically while you get ready in the mornings.

I highly recommend this product for families who have members with different preferences on how they consume their coffee, pods vs. grounded beans. The carafe also makes it ideal for heavy coffee drinkers or for a family of coffee consumers.

--- Installation---
The installation of Norton 360 for Gamers was quick and effortless. I just went to the indicated website, typed the code given to me, and it automatically downloaded the software to install. The option to install to up to two other devices (a total of 3) was also seamless. To do that, just log in to your Norton account (you’ll have to create a free one if you don't already have one) on your second and third device and download the software again.

--- FEATURES ---
This anti-virus program is meant to cater to the gaming audiences. As such, this software features Dark Web Monitoring powered by LifeLock for gamertags and other personal information, Secure VPN to protect against DDoS and doxxing attempts, PC SafeCam which notifies you if someone is trying to use you webcam without your authorization, a password manager, parental controls, 50 GBs of cloud backup, and more.

The performance of this anti-virus program has been optimal so far. It was easy to schedule things to happen automatically on times when I have my computer on but I’m not using it. If you do a full scan, you have the option for Norton to turn off your computer upon completion.

Dark Web Monitoring was an interesting and intriguing feature. You have the option to enter your personal information such as your phone #, credit card #s, physical addresses, emails, insurance #s, Gamertags, a driver’s license, and your mother’s maiden name. Doing so will run a one time historical dark web check to see if your information has been leaked or is at risk based on what’s already out there of yours. I had 7 Dark Web Alerts that showed me what website exposed my information, what kind of information of mine was exposed, and the potential next steps I could take. Indeed, these were websites I accessed years ago and I didn’t remember, but luckily, they were all based on data that is now irrelevant.
VPN works like a charm allowing me to select the location that I want to be publicly seen as. I set my IP address to an Italian location. To test it, I went to Yelp to try to order delivery to me based on location and it opened up Yelp in Italian. Easiest VPN I’ve ever used.
The password manager syncs up with your existing password manager, if any. For me, it has been synching up with my free Google Password manager. Google’s password manager isn’t that secure, as a quick Google search can help you download a user’s website and passwords into an excel file (I’ve done it for myself when I lost data from one computer to another). Norton requires you to type a Parent Password that they clearly tell you they will not store for you. This parent password can then be used to log into websites you frequent by typing the one password. It’s an extra step, sure, but definitely more secure.
If you’re a parent, you can use the parental controls to see what devices have logged into what websites. To do this, you have to install Norton 360 in their device, say a phone, and after the installation is complete, you can then monitor the device's activities. You can choose the level of security you want, such as moderate or high, based on the age of the child.
--- EXPECTATIONS ---
The product meets my expectations with one caveat. As a gamer, I played games on Xbox GamePass for PC, Steam, and Epic Games Store. I was looking to see how a gamer-unique feature would work, but I didn’t see it in action. This feature is part of their notification optimization (only works on Windows). The way the feature should work is that Norton would tell you if you aren’t using a feature you’re entitled to. This would include free DLC or other things available for your game. I didn’t find a way to activate this manually, but it could also be that I wasn’t entitled to anything from my existing games. That, however, is a minor thing compared to the rest of the features. One last thing I want to mention is that, with other malware/virus protection products, they usually push other services of theirs on you. In fact, most of the time, in other products, the VPN is an extra premium feature they want you to pay for. In this case, the VPN works like a charm. If you’ve never used a VPN before, what it does is tell people on the internet that your location is somewhere other than where you actually are. With a quick Turn On/Off button, it doesn’t get any easier. If you want, you can change the region to a specific location.

The setup of the Shure MV7 mic was quick and easy. In the box, you get the most basic things that you need to get up and running, the Shure Mic and two cables, one that’s USB to micro USB and one that is USB to USB-C. It can also be connected with an XLR cable, but that’s not included in the box.

The key features for this microphone include auto-adjust levels when using the software and a USB connection and buttons on the mic to raise/lower volume for sound mic monitoring settings. You also have two removable screws if you plan on using it as a podcast mic and need to install it on a table stand, though the stand is not included.

--- PERFORMANCE ---
The performance of this microphone is a big jump from my previous USB only microphone. I tested this on my digital audio workstation of choice, Cakewalk. I really enjoyed the quality of sound that I got back when compared to my older mic, which is of similar price range. Of course, I wanted to get feedback from my viewers, so I decided to run the mic through OBS and stream a game while using the mic. Some of my loyal fanbase pointed out that I sounded different. I asked them if this was different in a good way or different in a bad way? I’m glad they said that my voice was more crisp and clear. I then revealed the mic to be a Shure MV7. In fact, I have a fan that likes to make content of my streams. She sent me a video of a stream I made a week prior to owning this mic with my intro (which I repeat mostly the same words) and the stream that used the Shure MV7 mic. I was clearly able to hear what my fans hear, a lot of background airy noise with my old mic and a clear sound with my Shure.

--- EXPECTATIONS ---
The product exceeds my expectations. I was really stunned by the ability to auto-adjust levels when downloading the free Shure software Motive Desktop. In the Motive app, under the auto section, you can select whether you have the mic near or far, have a dark, natural, or bright tone, and create presets for various projects. Though you do have the option to manually tweak the settings, I decided to leave it on auto so that, as the manual says, I can focus on my project and not the mic. It adjusted the levels so well that on my livestream, it wasn’t noticeable that I forgot to turn off the sound from my laptop. Where with my older mic, on the livestream I would have sounded like I had an echo or was saying everything twice, the Shure mic did a good job at not duplicating the sound. I’m starting my second podcast this summer, and of the three mics that I own, this one is now the chosen one to run with that new project.

The price for the Mic in terms of value is on par with others, but the auto-adjust is just so magical and the flexibility to use it as a USB and an XLR mic make this a sure choice, no pun intended.

The setup for the Eufy smart lock requires some knowledge of door knob installation. Downloading the app first gives you access to a short, easy to rewatch and follow video with step by step instructions. All screws are included and I just used a screwdriver to get the installation done.

--- PERFORMANCE ---
The performance of this lock is hands down the best I’ve experienced. This is my third smart lock. The previous ones, though they served their purpose well, always left me wanting a feature or two that I think would improve the experience. Eufy seems to have taken notes and created a one-solution for all your smart lock needs. First of all, I don’t need to pull out my phone to unlock my door. My finger is my key, and I always have my fingers. The fingerprint is recognized rather quickly and I can use it to both, lock and unlock my door as I leave or arrive. You can also have multiple fingerprints saved on various profiles. I programmed 3 fingers, 2 from one hand and 1 from the other, and I set up my wife with her own fingerprints. I tested the keypad just to see how quickly it recognized the # and it works immediately as well. I was able to set up 3 different 8 digit numeric codes, one for me, one for my wife, and one for a person who will take care of my cats while on vacation. Because of this, it keeps a nice detailed account of who is entering the house using what code as well as failed attempts and the time stamps the attempt was failed.

--- EXPECTATIONS ---
The product exceeded my expectations. The lock looks hightech without being an eyesore on the door. One of my grievances for smart locks is that I need to keep buying batteries as they eventually run out. This lock has a rechargeable battery that takes 6 hours to charge. If you get a notification that the battery is low, all you have to do is recharge it overnight and not deal with the hassle of forgetting that you need batteries for your lock. With voice-commands, I had no issues telling my phone assistant to open my door, though I use my fingerprint more often because it makes me feel like a secret agent.

The price for the smart lock in terms of value is great, considering that it received a BHMA Grade 2 Security Certification, meaning it has been tested to lock and unlock 250,000 times, or an equivalent of 67 years if you lock and unlock it 10 times a day.

--- PERFORMANCE ---
For most of us, computers are a part of our daily lives now. As an educator, I use a computer for longer than 8 hours daily. I immediately tested it with what is most intensive for me: planning. I had charged it the night before and used it for my entire workday without needing to charge it. This included Zoom meetings, training videos, grading, planning, and overall not allowing the screen to go dim or turn off.

Being a Chromebook, this is a perfect machine for people who rely heavily on the Chromebook suite. I now completely rely on Google Docs, Sheets, Forms, and Slides more than I do their paid counterpart from Microsoft. This Chromebooks works flawlessly with all of these programs.
The slim design and lightweight heft of this Chromebook makes it very portable. I took advantage of the 2-in-1 design and brought it to bed where I streamed some shows. The sound was more than decent for what I expected a Chromebook to sound like. The QLED screen (Quantum dot LED) makes all the colors in my shows stand out without being overtly bright. The darks are not faded in the shows I watched and I found it an enjoyable experience.
--- EXPECTATIONS ---
The product exceeds my expectations. On the weekends, I spend my time managing my YouTube channel. For this, I use Canva, which is a design website. This is another reason the QLED screen is a great standout feature. Designing thumbnails and social media posts feels just right.

--- PERFORMANCE ---
These headphones are great at what they are supposed to do: actively cancel noise. If you’ve never used noise-canceling headphones (ANC), this is a great pair to get started with. My wife is a singer/vocal coach. As she was practicing and warming up, I put on the headphones without even listening to music and I couldn’t hear her even though she was in the next room. I walked over to her while wearing the headphones. Being right next to her, it sounded like she was very far away. Once I turned on my music, I couldn’t hear her at all. I wanted to test these in another loud environment, so I went to my gym where I was sure to find people grunting, weights hitting the floors, and machines whirring. As promised, the headphones actively canceled all noise and I was able to enjoy my movies while working out on an elliptical. With a quick charge of 10 minutes giving me up to 3 hours of use, these are now my headphones of choice for the gym in case I forget to charge them overnight.

--- EXPECTATIONS ---
The product exceeds my expectations. When searching for headphones, there are extreme audiophiles who want total and complete control over minute details of their sound. These are not that. The box itself says “wireless simplicity with noise canceling.” It is in that simplicity that these headphones surpass my expectations. These must be my 15th pair of headphones and I’ve noticed that while other headphones try to give one button multi-uses, these keep things simple and easy to understand. There is a button to turn off or on the ANC, the volume/track button, and the power button. That’s it. That is all you really need. I tried pairing them with the Skullcandy app, but as of this review, this was not an option. The thing is, sometimes, you just want something that isn’t convoluted, so the app isn’t needed to enjoy. These are the headphones for the person who wants to turn on their audio, listen to it, and forget about everything else.

Aside from that, they charge with the included USB-C cable and have a backup auxiliary cable in case you ever run out of battery or want to use them in an airplane. Using the auxiliary cable, I connected them to my Xbox Series X. Though the mic doesn’t work for that, I enjoyed my single story gaming content with these. They feel comfortable when worn over 3 hours and didn’t bother me even when wearing my glasses. Phone calls do sound phenomenal, as I was told by the family members I called and the ANC helped me focus on the conversation as opposed to the dishes I was washing. Finally, they have an embedded Tile, which is technology that allows you to ping them using other Tile customers in case they ever get lost/misplaced/stolen. Pairing with Tile was also a simple process and I feel confident that if I ever forget them or lose them, I can track where they are.
--- VALUE ---
The price for the Hesh ANC is worth the investment considering the amount of time you will get use of them.

Blueair - Blue Pure 411 Auto 190 Sq. Ft. HEPASilent Air Purifier - White
The Blue Pure 411 Auto air purifier takes a simple approach to smart air quality management with an integrated particle sensor, Auto mode setting, and LED air quality display. The ENERGY STAR certified air purifier delivers high performance with one-button control and customizable pre-filter colors in a lightweight, compact package. Independently evaluated and third-party tested for performance as part of the AHAM Verifide® Program for room air cleaners, this air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 132 for fine smoke particles, 96 for pollen particles, and 107 for dust particles. Recommended for small rooms like nurseries, guest bedrooms, and home offices with a 360° air intake to completely filters room air about every 12.5 minutes (approx. 4.8x an hour at 190 ft²) on the highest speed. The 3-step combination particle + carbon filter works with Blueair's HEPASilent™ filtration technology to remove 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns, like pollen, pet dander, mold, bacteria, viruses⁰ and more, while an additional layer of activated coconut carbon traps light household odors. The one-touch enabled Auto mode is designed to help you maintain a comfortable and safe home environment. When enabled, the setting automatically adjusts to real-time conditions reported by the integrated particle sensor. Stay up to date on your air quality with the LED display; it changes color to indicate good, moderate, or poor. Blue Pure 411 Auto quietly cleans the air with less noise than a soft whisper⁶ on low (18 dB) and up to a normal conversation on high (48 dB) – while using less energy than a light bulb (2-10 W) on all speeds.⁷ Change color in seconds with five fabric pre-filter options inspired by Scandinavian nature. The fabric material of the pre-filter catches larger particles and extends the life of the primary filter. Plus, a hidden compartment in the fabric pre-filter keeps the power cord hidden out of sight. Vacuum the fabric or toss it in the washing machine whenever it needs cleaning. Pre-filter in Arctic Trail (gray) included; Additional colors available for purchase. At Blueair, our Swedish heritage inspires sustainability and quality at the heart of everything we do. All Blueair purifiers are AHAM Verifide® for Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and given a recommended room size, certified by ENERGY STAR for energy efficiency and the California EPA Air Resources Board (CARB) for safe ozone emissions. ⁰This air purifier not been tested against Coronavirus, and Blueair does not claim to capture, remove, or kill 2019-nCoV. ⁶Sound pressure according to GB/T18801 & GB4214.1 ⁷Tested according to GB/T18801-2015 standard.

--- PERFORMANCE ---
The performance of this purifier is great! Living in Tennessee, we experience cold weather and closed windows with pets indoors. At night, I often get a stuffy nose and my wife reacts to allergens. I plugged in the purifier in our bedroom, as that’s where we spend most of our time with our pets. I didn’t tell her about the purifier and she’s used to seeing me connect various gadgets, so she doesn’t ask what I connect anymore. About three days after use, she made a comment on how she felt like she was breathing better or waking up without feeling her allergy symptoms. I personally felt that my stuffy nose wasn’t as stuffy as it would get prior to the purifier. That’s when I revealed that we’d been sleeping with an air purifier. She asked since when? I said for about 3 days now. Not only did we both discover how effective this purifier was, but it was so quiet that it wasn’t even noticed.

Would this system work with online platforms? For example, I am a teacher and have to teach students in person while having students online on Google meet. If I bought this, would my online students be able to hear me and would I be able to hear them?
Hi there. I am a teacher as well. This would allow your students to hear you but you wouldn't be able to hear them. For that scenario, I used the Anker Power conference instead. I had to teach in-person students and virtual students at the same time. The Anker allowed me to speak freely into it's embedded mic and I could hear students from the speaker as well.

I understand that this wouldn’t automatically amplify someone’s voice, but if it is connected to a computer, can the audio be heard through speakers when connected through audio software?
Yes. Using the USB 3.0 receiver and the included extension cable, I was able to use it with Streamlabs OBS and add filters. This allows me to use the mic when streaming content, in Zoom, or even project the voice through speakers that the computer might be paired with.

Does this come with the spinning sweeper for mopping the floor? On the samsung website it states the sweeper only comes with VS90, but I don't see that as one of the listed items included. If it doesn't come with it, what is the use of "wet" function?
It doesn't come with the sweeper for floors. I was disappointed when I didn't find one. You have to purchase that separately.
