This new blood pressure machine is my favorite health tech device, and I love it because it is simple to use and keeps a record of all my readings. The pandemic and the fact that health starts minimizing as one gets older, one can only be proactive and maintain habits to stay healthier, such as reading vital signs. When turned on for the first time, the device will prompt the time, date, Bluetooth on/off setup. Memory storage is for up to 4 user profiles with a record reading of up to 30 readings. Before the initial reading, install the Beure HealthCoach app because the first measurement will prompt a Bluetooth connection to transfer the reading to a mobile device. The LCD screen display is large enough and easy to read. As recommended, I have been reading my blood pressure at the same time of the day. For each reading, I rest for at least five minutes, sitting upright with my back against the support of a chair and feet flat on the ground. Note that reading can be done on both arms and lying down. Place arm cuff as directed, rest hand with palm facing up and start the blood pressure reading. While the machine pumps air to the arm cuffs, don’t move or talk to get the most accurate reading. If Bluetooth is on, readings are automatically transferred to the app. I am delighted that the app can display the latest reading, history, and manual imputed reading and graph this data to analyze how blood pressure has changed over time. On the side of the display is a guidance indicator to inform you how is your blood pressure. If the indicator is in the green zone, it means that your blood pressure is within the normal range. The yellow indicates mild hypertension, orange is moderate hypertension, and red is severe hypertension. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this health tech device, and I recommend it for anyone who likes to maintain a record of their health.

The Shark Vertex Pro combines the power and performance of a full-size vacuum* with the ease of a cordless stick. It features deep-cleaning DuoClean PowerFins and a self-cleaning brushroll to get rid of hair wrap. *Tested in Boost mode vs. ZU360.

The Shark’s Duo Clean head, anti-hair wrap (no hair tangling), and suction technology make this an excellent vacuum. The Duo Clean means the floor head has two rollers; in the front is a soft roller, and in the back, it's a brush roller. Both, combined, give the ability to provide a better seal for vacuuming on both hard floors and carpets. Using the rollers head, the vacuum still runs very smoothly to handle and effortlessly maneuvers, especially the hard floors.
The IQ display control panel placement near the handle allows for easy change of the settings (Power On/Off, hard floor or carpet, and the suction power level). The three suction levels power setting helps save battery life by using only the suction strength needed. For quick or light cleaning, the lowest level will be more than sufficient, conserving battery life. The power boost should be used for deep cleaning or larger dirt piles to prolong battery usage. I hardly use the boost power since the lower setting can do a good job. Both rollers are well-designed, and they resist hair tangled. The filtration with it’s anti-allergen technology means it is perfect for those with an allergy because it uses a HEPA filter. When I use the vac, I hardly smell leaks. The battery is a plus for larger area (bigger-houses) cleaning since it is removable and replaceable (can purchase additional battery). Its battery life is excellent, and its duration depends on the settings and the attachment/accessory.
With the DUO clean rollers and the lowest level suctioning power, I get about 35 minutes of runtime. Very impressive for a cordless vac! The 60 minutes runtime advertised is the vacuum used handheld (not the Duo Cleaning roller) with the additional accessory tool. The noise level is decent, not very loud compared to other vacs. The multiFlex wand is excellent for easy storage and to clean hard-to-reach under furniture floors. It comes with three useful attachments. Shark cordless Vertex Pro has incredible pickup power on hard floors and carpets, even larger piles of debris. It is perfect for fine debris, like dust and sand. Overall, this product has power, and you can tell base on its suctioning.

In summary, this ASUS ROG gaming laptop is fantastic. It has an amazing performance and a beautiful screen which is perfect for gaming. It is small enough to take with you anywhere you go. Yet it doesn't get too hot and isn't too loud. Impressive, comprehensive connectivity with various ports keeps you connected and lets you stay productive no matter where you are. For example, one of the USB-C ports is Type-C PD, power delivery, and allows the laptop to be charged by a power bank. So, the charging options are the original power input port, Type-C port simultaneously or individually; this gives the user more options for quicker power charging. With the power port and Type-C port simultaneously, the laptop can be used while gaming and charge the battery faster. There are two USB Type-A ports and a MicroSD slot. The magnesium-aluminum chasing helps make the device light, and at the same time, it feels durable, and it is solid, not flexible. There are plenty of heat vents on the chasing to allow the device to be used for an extended period of time without getting overheated. Mainly when I game, I use my headset, but when I watch movies, the speaker quality is very good. The keyboard has a sleek design with an awesome backlit RGB and is customizable in the ASUS ROG software. It has comfortable keys which are easy to press and allow you to use them for a very long time. The keyboard does not get very hot, even after long sessions. The touchpad is very nice for a laptop as most of the time it is hard to use properly, but in this design, it is very convenient to use. The Nivida RTX3050ti, alongside the Intel Core i7, gives the laptop a great performance. I have tested it on a variety of games such as Minecraft, rust, rainbow six siege, and Ark. All the games ran fine with no issues.

The electric kettle that pours as good as it looks! Uniting stunning design with thoughtful features and a simplistic user interface, Fellow’s Stagg EKG packs a powerful punch. Since different coffees and brew methods require different water temperatures, a home brewer needs complete control in order to perfect recipes. Simply press down on Stagg EKG’s dial to turn the kettle on and twist the dial to set your goal temperature. With a 1200 watt quick-heating element and a unique PID sensor system, Stagg EKG’s to-the-degree temperature control lets you select the exact temperature from 135°F to 212°F. The base also has two switches to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as a toggle for HOLD mode to keep your water hot for 60 minutes. To engage the Brew Stopwatch on the high-res LCD screen to time your pour-over, press and hold on the dial. A counterbalanced handle and fluted spout tip make imprecise pouring a thing of the past.

I am very pleased with this kettle. For starters, I love its minimalist, modern design. It is also super easy to use and gives me so much control over the water temperature. I am especially excited for its 60 minute hold feature because sometimes there are things you need to do in between preparing the perfect cup of coffee and tea that take longer than expected. The water will not get cold if I take a few extra minutes to finish what I am doing. I also love how quickly the water heats up in the kettle. It is just very convenient and efficient. Moreover, the Fahrenheit and Celsius feature is super helpful, especially when following a recipe and specific and precise temperatures are needed. The water pours so smoothly! Honestly, I do not have any complaints or concerns about this kettle. It does not overheat, and it makes making a delicious cup of coffee or tea super easy. In a household of coffee and tea lovers, this kettle is wonderful!

I was thrilled to get a new computer! As a student, it is crucial to have an efficient computer and this one is excellent for work and study. I have also been very pleased with the sound system and widescreen, which is especially good for streaming movies, shows, and videos whenever I need a break from work. The convertible feature adds to its versatility and offers an up-close look at whatever project or assignment I am working on. The touch screen feature gives the user so much control. Essentially, the computer has everything a modern user will need and so much more!
The set-up was fairly easy. The very first time I tested the computer, I was greeted by Cortana, which led me through the entire set-up process (I thought that was neat and entertaining). All it takes is signing in to your Microsoft account(s) and there is also an easy, optional feature that links the computer to your phone. It runs and starts up quickly, without lagging. One of my favorite parts of this computer is that it has 459 GB storage space! Storage is a crucial factor that I consider with all my devices because I love to keep all my photos and important files safely stored and I hate to have to delete some photos to make space for more. It is heavier than my last computer, but it is also a lot bigger. Nonetheless, it is still very portable and the battery life is amazing!
I always prefer having a mouse attached to my laptop and I often need to connect my devices, whether that is to connect my computer to a bigger monitor, import pictures from my camera, or charge my phone or headphones. I am happy that this computer has USB ports that enable all those necessary connections. Webcam quality can definitely improve, but it works well for a computer. The keyboard is smooth and easy-to-use.
I would definitely recommend this laptop to any student and to someone looking for a great every-day use computer. I am confident that this computer will last me a very long time and that it will adequately meet every one of my needs and expectations securely and reliably.

 Swann - Professional 8-Channel, 4-Camera 4K WiFi 1TB NVR Security Surveillance System w/ Human, Vehicle &amp; Sound Detection - White
Swann - Professional 8-Channel, 4-Camera 4K WiFi 1TB NVR Security Surveillance System w/ Human, Vehicle & Sound Detection - White
The SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System has crime-fighting features other systems dream about. With red and blue flashing lights, bright spotlights, two-way audio, and loud sirens, you can intimidate intruders and prevent crime from happening, and these features are controllable remotely in the Swann Security app. You get free local recording for up to 180 days+ onto the massive 1TB hard drive and the option to backup video to your Dropbox account. Know what’s happening at any hour with powerful infrared night vision up to 115’/35m and Night2Day™ gives you amazing color video at night up to 32’/10m. Swann’s True Detect™ heat and motion detection senses people and cars for more reliable monitoring and fewer false alarms. The 4K Ultra HD video and powerful digital zoom, the cameras let you actively watch over entrances, yards, driveways, parking lots, shop floors, storerooms, and customer service areas. With the Swann Security app, push notifications let you know what’s happening and you can even watch live or playback video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. In fact, you can view any of the cameras on your smart TV, and speak to see hands-free via Hey Google and Alexa devices. The cameras plug into power while their video signal back to the NVR is transmitted wirelessly, so you don’t have to worry about drilling into walls and running cables anywhere. The NVR connects to your internet router via the included network cable or Wi-Fi, while the new SwannNet™ technology allows you to select whether each camera connects to the NVR or your home Wi-Fi, meaning you can choose whichever network has a stronger Wi-Fi signal. This gives you greater flexibility to place the cameras where they need to be, and their robust indoor/outdoor design is built to withstand rain, snow and heat, all year round. That’s the SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System – it’s another example of security made smarter from Swann.

I have a wired Swann security system for my house's the outside perimeter, and I am satisfied with that product. I wanted this another security system for indoor use, and I didn’t want to run wires inside the house, so I got this Swann wireless system. The only wire required is the power cable connected to any wall outlet, which is acceptable for my use and solves running wires throughout the house. It doesn’t need to be wired connected to the NVR device/unit. Each camera has its own power cord and comes with the option of a cord extension. My installation was straightforward. Test the entire system that works properly before securing cameras to a wall. When all looks good, connect the NVR to a router (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), HDMI to TV, optical mouse, and lastly, the unit power connection. Once all is turned on, you will see the cameras on the TV screen, and the startup wizard guides the final setups.
I had no issue completing my setting up of the system, and I am satisfied with the quality of the images and the sound. I like the feature to view and save the recording from the 1 TB local drive or the cloud. The motion detection and active zone work as expected, recording important actions and not wind/gust on moving trees. Overall, I am satisfied with this wireless security system. I recommended it for those who want self-installation without running complicated wires on the attics or all over the premise.

This is my second Anker Soundcore speaker, and I am amazed by this new Mini 3. The sound quality and the bass will blow you away from this small device. You can feel the bass, and astonishingly, sometimes it moves when the bass drops hard. It is tiny, just about four finders tall, the circumference is smaller than a soda can, and the overall size is ⅔ of a soda can. Simple esthetical design with all the basic buttons: power, minus/plus volume, Bluetooth, and the Soundcore play. It is a portable size and lightweight, fits perfectly in most places, like cup holders. It has a lanyard and using a carabiner, you can hang it anywhere. When working on my yard, I use a carabiner and clip the speaker to one of my pant’s belt loops. After a complete charge, it is a simple and instant connection/setup. I highly recommend using the Soundcore App for an enhanced experience and to perform a firmware update on the mini speaker. Using the app allows you to more control, like future firmware updates, customized sound and light, check battery level, adjust volume, and equalizer settings. What I like the most about the app is the LÜM music streaming service. LÜM is Soundcore’s official music streaming partner and is included with the app for free. It has a great selection of music from the various playlist; my favorite playlist is “House Party”. To conclude, this is quite loud and better on the bass than other small portable speakers. Great for jamming music anywhere you can play music, and with the water-resistance feature, you are free to do whatever you want to do with it.

With this Canon R40, you can do more scanning in less time and organize all your documents into digital format, resulting in less stress finding documents. This device makes it extremely easy to convert a lot of documents into high-quality digital format. I removed all protective shipping packaging/tape from the machine and connected the power cord. Next, I went online to download the software from Canon’s website for this specific scanner. I followed the installation wizard, connected the machine to my laptop using the included USB cable, and completed the setup. It took me about 12 minutes. What makes this efficient is the capability of doing double-sided document scans at the same time. It handles very well, mixed-size documents properly without getting paper jammed. All documents get saved to the appropriate digital size; if it is a receipt, it gets saved as a small document size. It rarely happens, but when the document gets scanned twisted, the software programs align it correctly. For personal and businesses, I use an expense management system software to help manage finances, so scanning receipts is my primary use of this scanner. It does an excellent job at different scanning sizes of receipts, and I haven’t experience paper jamming. It does very well handling even thin and light receipts. The receipts get filed as JPG in the appropriate destination. Compared to multi-purpose printers with scanners, the speed of this scanner is impressive even with double-sided scanning. Note that this is not a wireless device and it uses an USB cable (included) to connect to a computer. Overall, the scanning quality is excellent; it is straightforward to use and makes document filing less stressful.

This printer is excellent, especially when you get tired of doing spontaneous frequent ink cartridge replacement. I have printed many pages so far, and there is still plenty of ink in the ink containers. After removing all shipping items from the printer, I plugged the printer and followed the simple instructions. I placed the ink containers in the printer and proceeded with downloading and installing the appropriate driver for this specific printer on the Brother website. The entire setup did not take more than 20 minutes, and I could also print from my mobile phone. I like the Brother Mobile Connect App that allows the users to print from anywhere with a mobile device. You can also use your phone to scan, copy and photograph prints. The print quality is very sharp, excellent color prints, and deep rich dark blacks. My wife uses the printer for last-minute print photos for her book collage projects; she loves how colorful the photo prints come out. Scanning is easy and quick with the front panel button. I do not have a landline at my office, so I can't comment on the fax feature. I am pleased with this printer's multi-functionality, print quality, sharp and clear prints, and impressive printing speed.

This BlueParrot headset is excellent for everyday use and comes in very handy when on the go. The most prominent feature, which is impressive, is the headset's ability to block out background noise; this feature is for the mic (user's voice), not the speakers. All calls come out loud and clear no matter where you are using the headset. Other people on the line will hear you loud and clear, without distortion and very little background noise. Very impressive! It is ultra-lightweight, comfortable to use even during prolonged use, and has extended battery life. I like the design, which I can charge with any USB-C connector (the box includes a charging cord). Other headsets have their own unique charging cables or base, and when you can't find it or lose it, you won't be able to charge it. The device is rated for dust and water protection, can be used in raining or when sweating. There is a BlueParrot app that enhances the usage of the headset and to customize some features. The main button, the blue parrot, by default is mute, but it can be changed to speed dial or push-to-talk. The app has a soundcheck function, where you record yourself speaking and then playback to hear how it sounds. One improvement needed is the speaker sound; at total volume, the sound isn't loud. This is ok since the headset isn't for music listening; it is for talking. I love using this headset, especially when driving, on the go, or in a noisy environment. Overall, I am satisfied with this product; it is lightweight, has long battery life and convenient charging, impressive noise-canceling, and comfortable.

Can this monitor be put on a desk mount?

The monitor is not VESA mount compatible. To have it mounted you would need to get a VESA adapter mount, sold separately. If you use an adapter, you will need to be careful when adjusting the mount and by using the adapter it might void the warranty. It is a good monitor but it is not a VESA mount compatible.

Since this laptop lacks an HDMI port, is there a way to output video to a monitor/TV? And if so, what would the maximum resolution/refresh rate be?

This laptop has 1 USB-C type port and Best Buy does sell adapters that you can connect an HDMI. Search for USB-C to HDMI adapter. I have used a USB-C to HDMI adapter on my other laptops and I have not had an issue with the image quality. You may also use a streaming device on your TV/monitor and then stream from the laptop with Bluetooth. The simplest method would be the USB-C to HDMI adapter.
