This Epson VS355 720p is the perfect replacement for old BenQ MP610 projector in our meeting room. This Epson has a huge difference in quality when projected in a room lighted and in a completely dark room. The Epson give out 3000 lumens vs the other brand which is 2000. The quality of the image is a huge improvement compared to my older projector we were using. When using for presentations the fonts are shown fine and for videos is really nice. The size is just slightly thinner than most normal projectors. Its weight is also slightly less than normal size projector. If you are going to use a projector stand, just note that it only has three holes for attachment. No issue in attaching my older stand to this new projector. It has all the necessary type of connection that you may use in an office, it even included one HDMI port.
The best feature about this projector is that it does a perfect job at horizontal and vertical image correction. It is one less thing you need to struggle to setup because it is almost automatically to correct for a rectangular image from any angle. This adjustment is called “ Keystone correction”. So this makes this a perfect projector for portability.
The fan noise level at normal mode is average, not too loud. When economy mode is even less noticeable. I will mostly use this projector in the economy mode in the meeting room to have the least noise and to prolong the life of the lamp, but this mode is not a big issue because even though the image it was still bright for the room. I would recommend the use of economy mode whenever possible to increase the lamp’s life.
To sum up, this projector is fantastic for any meeting room, for portability use and as a bonus, to watch quality videos.

I just got this new Bose portable speaker and it was designed to go with you everywhere. Main portability features are 1) small built with great sound, 2) weather/waterproof, and 3) excellent battery life. Don't be fooled by the size, it has a good sound for portability. It is not heavy and easily straps to any item, my kids love to carry it strapped to their backpacks.
Note that this speaker only has a Bluetooth connection and it doesn't any aux connection. This could be a problem if your device doesn't have Bluetooth. This shouldn't be a major issue since most consumer high-tech electronics are being made with it.
Also, you must download an app to be able to use the speaker. So if your phone doesn't have enough memory to download another app you might have an issue.
One great option that the speaker has the ability to use any mini USB connection to charge it. I just hate it when a power cord gets misplaced but this speaker can use any mini USB charger.
The kids truly enjoy this portable speaker.

This product is great for many house cleaning tasks. It is designed for carpet, tile and other types of floor. It is also versatile for other cleaning tasks with the many accessories and features that this vacuum is designed with. The vacuum comes with a few accessories that easy to connect and adjust as necessary. The click and connect very easily. This makes it very versatile and I am extremely satisfied with this. Since I live in Florida, frequently clean my house AirCondition vents so the unit will run efficiently and hopefully last a long time. Replacing a unit can cost upwards of $2000 so it is wise maintenance and cleaning AC vents is one those maintenance. Normally I use a ladder and a small brush or cloth to clean the vents on the ceilings but the Shark vac it simplifies this task. I was able to clean all events throughout the house in a couple of minutes. I am sure there are many other similar uses for this vacuum. Great for hard to reach places without the use of a ladder. The dust compartment is easy to remove and to empty out. The highest speed is not very loud like other vacuums I have used. Another positive feature is that the cord is very long and this will speed up your cleaning tasks of a large room by not having to move the plug around. The vacuum feels well built.

The setup of my new WD MyCloud Home was super easy to do within a few minutes I was uploading pictures to it. Simple: 1) Connect to the router, 2) Connect power plug, 3) Verify light for connection check and 4) Setup account at mycloud.com/hello with the provided passcode. I connected my laptop and my cell phone to MyCloud Home, which was also easy. Since I don't have unlimited data on my cell phone I unselected the option of using on-the-go data. This option is great to have is you don't want to use your data. The app will only do a backup when connected via wifi. What I like most about this product is the simplification of transferring files from one device to another. My entire family heavily use computers for virtual school and work. Sometimes we have to move our work from a laptop to an iMac or from a pc to laptop. Normally we would upload files from a device to a cloud or email to have access to another device. With WD MyCloud Home, now working at home is a smoother process. Another option that my wife loves is the ability to store her photos and pictures from her mobile device to our MyCloud Home. Now she can easily organize and share her many images and videos. The speed of file upload to MyClous was like instantaneous. It did a fast backup of all my pictures and videos from my phone. Another great feature about the MyCloud is the importance of your pc/mac/device to be backup if they accidentally get deleted or your device gets ruined. In the past, I have lost precious photo moments to a laptop that was stolen and also to older iMac that suddenly stopped working. Note that when you take a device like a computer to be served by a technician they recommend to back up your files or they can also do it for you a large fee. With the MyCloud, you save yourself this fee and the headache/pain of losing important files. To close, I think the most important feature is the ability to safeguard the backup files from your pc/mac/mobile device.

My family loves smoothies and shakes so this Vitamix blender is part of our lives. It get's used daily at least once a day. I have tried a wide variety of different uses with this blender. One of the things I have done is grinding roasted cocoa bean and mixing this with either whole milk or almond milk. This cocoa bean shake takes great. Whit some ice you can make shaved ice/snow cone with this powerful blender. I have blended many fruits and vegetables without any problem. It very interesting that this machine is so powerful that you can use it to make soup and I mean heat it up inside the container with the blender. The blade running for a period of 5 minutes and more will make what ever is in the blender heat up. I love doing all flavored lattes.
This blender is very powerful, easy to use, and a great job very quickly. Very easy to use and clean. When placing the lid give attention to ensuring the lid is in place correctly if not you will have a mess.
In my opinion, when machines offer many years of warranty you can be confident that it is built strong. This Vitamix machine comes with 5 years warranty. I have included a picture of the base of the container that shows the assembly of the blade. It is made tough and to last long. Looks like it a lifetime for it to wear out. Just know that it will last many years.
This is a quality machine and I would buy another if needed or give as a gift. I would definitely recommend this blender to my friends and family.
In all, a wonderful product, a great appliance to add to any kitchen and well worth the price.

What I absolutely like about these speakers is the flexibility. You may speakers and place them separately anywhere in the house to work independently. Within the same room, it is versatile that can be placed anywhere to a true surround sound experience. The speakers are true 4.1 surround sound with connections type or HDMI ARC, HDMI In, and optical input.
The subwoofers sound great and it makes the floor shake. This will make an action movie feel more enjoyable. Adjustment to the sounds can be made manually, the low, highs and bass.
The build quality is sturdy and not a cheap material. The casing has a slick black metal finish and with rubberized material on the buttons. What stands out of these speakers is its versatility; three options, 1) Portable, 2) Rear the second speaker, and 3) Sound bard combining the two speakers. The setup was simple and quick. Each component establishes a connection to the primary sound bar automatically. If it doesn't, then locate the pairing button. For the second speaker, it took me a while to find the pairing button (see image). The setup was in a medium size room and the sound was more than enough for a good surround sound.

I enjoy grilled food but the smoke and preparation are very uncomfortable and sometimes the smoke makes me sick. This product is heaven sent because it solves my discomfort process of conventional grilling. I get a lot of headaches whenever I do an extreme heat activity and grilling is one of these activities with the smoke making it worse. My first cooking was Flap Meat Steak (Churrasco) with Squash Zucchini. Seasoned meat with Goya Sal Parrillera, ground pepper, and a bit of sour orange. Turned on the heating element and after 6 minutes, I place the meat on the grill. Recommended time was 8 min for each side. Since I like my meat well done, I left it for 11 minutes on each side. While that was cooking I placed a few ½ inch squash yellow/zucchini on the side. In less than 30 minutes the vegetables and the meat were all cooked. The vegetable was very juicy. Virtually no smoke and it was evenly well cooked. The family enjoyed the first indoor grilled meal. They loved it. It is simple to use, it only has three setting: off, warm and cook. Cleaning was very easy. The non-stick aluminum grid was like new. The grease on the bottom tray was not hard to remove. My wife loves the fact that now we can enjoy grilled food without me getting sick. She started a list of other meals we can prepare. Happy wife, happy life.

Really love this air fryer. First time I ever cooked chicken with pineapple and the kids loved it. The recipe is found in the enclosed book. For this recipe, was simple to cook: Set the chicken with spices for 12 minutes, add pineapple with additional ingredients for 3 minutes, last ingredients for additional 3 minutes, and add cook beans or another vegetable as desired (not on recipe book). Serve with rice or other desired side. Very fast and simple to make a quick meal for 5-6 people. I got the bigger size model since I have a big family. The BEST PART that only a bit of oil was required for cooking. My kids and wife loved it. I also tried cooking a ricotta cake and it was simple to do; it tasted like a scone cookie. The included book comes with a few more recipes. You can find more recipes online and even YouTube. Cleaning is not hard to do with the machine; just remove the inner pot and wash with a soft sponge. Don’t use a harsh scrub, you will damage the non-stick coating of the pan. Two of the bottom feet has suctioning cups designed to prevent the machine moving when opening or closing the door. The noise level is moderate, NOT loud as a blender; this does not bother me because feel great I am cooking healthier meals with less oil. My family really loves this multi fryer/cooker because it actually makes meals for us. Most importantly, my wife loves it. Happy wife, happy life!

This Ninja Coffeemaker is perfect! My wife loves to drink coffee and she usually drinks two or more cups per day. She loves all the features and options that this machine provides. 1) Number one option is that she can make 1 cup for herself or a few if more people are drinking. When doing for one person there is the option of just using a cup or insulated container. This is great because you do not have to buy expensive pods like the Keurig coffee maker. 2) I have three kids love Ice Coffee so this machine does an excellent job to make sure the coffee does not come out watery. All they need is flavored syrup with non-dairy creamer. 3) Very important is the taste and my wife is a professional coffee drinker. She can tell when the coffee is not fresh when it is preheated in the microwave, and the flavor. I can’t taste the difference. She said the older coffee maker the coffee had burned flavor. This coffee tasted very good from the Ninja. And (0ther points) The water reservoir container is easy to remove, fill and insert into the machine. It is very easy to clean and with clear instruction label located behind the machine. It looks like it does a good job of cleaning itself. The process takes 60 minutes to complete. My wife loves this Ninja coffee maker. Happy Wife… Happy Life.

The Samsung Connect is the best hub because you can connect many devices, giving you control and automation of your home via Samsung’s Connect App. I tried another hub in the past of other brands, but none had the technology of connecting your gadgets. This is great because it is like getting two in one, extending wife throughout your home with fast speed and simple device connection.
Design: It is great that these devices are small compact size that can be placed in view or out of view in any room. The plug is a good size and not bulky like other devices/ hubs. I had another device which the plug was very big (2.75 in x 2.75 in), that it prevented me from plugging other devices to adjacent outlets. Normally, the size of a plug is not usually considered in the purchase decision process.
Connected devices: After signing in into your Samsung account, I added another device, my Samsung POWERbot. Once it is connected, it is easy to control your robot. My wife loves her POWERbot and now with this smart hub, she now has more control, even when away from home. Happy wife, happy life! I am in the plan of getting more devices which can connect to the hub. For example, I travel a lot and when I leave home I adjust the thermostat manually to save on my electric bill and now it is easier to install a smart thermostat.
Connection Speed: I live in a two-floor house with 4 rooms, one entertainment room and large living room (2500 SQ feet). All my kids study online, and having a good connection in their room is a must have in my house. The speed and range of this three hub are great. I get a full bar on over 90 of my house. They do a great job.
Setup is very easy, instructions come in a 14 in a square card. 1) Download Samsung Connect app, 2/3) Connect Ethernet and plug, 4) Open the app, 5) then follow the instruction on the app.
This Samsung Connect Home 3-Pack is in the direction of making any home a smart home. Love it. Love Samsung.

If I plug this into my Xbox will the sound still come from my TV or will I need to purchase a headset?
You can attach connect a headphone to the Stream mic. I find it very useful the feature to connect your headphones to the mic which makes it very simple so that your hand does tangle with your headphones. This setup is a lot better than having the headphones connected to the Xbox controller.

What's a broom stick and pop filter? I saw in one of the answer you said a broom stick and pop filter will make this mic better?
The boom stick/arm/stand allows for the mic to be floating on top of your desk and not directly on the desk/table. This will reduce the noise produced from your keyboard or other device being capture by the microphone. The pop filter is to improve the voice quality. The stream mic is great, try it without the other accessories first before buying the other stuff.

Turtle Beach - Stream Mic for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC
The Turtle Beach Stream Mic is the first professional desktop microphone created for gamers streaming directly from their Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as from a PC or Mac. The Stream Mic features Adaptive Mic Patterns, customizable software, a dual-capsule mic array with advanced digital processing, and a zero-latency headphone output so anyone can stream like a pro.
I plan on buying this to set it up on a boom arm. Do I need to buy a usb extension cable or is the one provided long enough?
The USB cable is about 10ft long, see submitted images. It is long enough for most setup and it feels like high quality.

Just had this tv delivered yesterday and its $30 cheaper today can I get a credit
Yes. It is in their PriceMatch policy: "If we lower our in-store or online price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request."
Also, since Best Buy store prices aren't always the same as the BestBuy.com (online) prices, it is good to know that they also do price match between those two: " We match BestBuy.com prices on in-store purchases and in-store prices on BestBuy.com purchases." In respect to Price Match, I like Best Buy because they don't give you an issue compared to other stores.
Conclusion, if you within the return period you can get back the difference between what you paid and the cheaper price.
Do it fast and good luck.
