When spills happen, the Braava jet m6 robot is always on call—ready to head to the spot and take them on. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa, “Have Braava mop in front of the kitchen counter”, and it heads out and gets to work. Always learning your home and your cleaning habits, it can offer customized schedules that work around your life—even suggesting extra cleanings during pollen season. Using Precision Jet Spray, it loosens dirt and sticky messes without spraying furniture, rugs, or walls—all without any effort from you, making your mopping tasks a thing of the past. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

Excellent addition to the iRobot family
on June 15, 2019
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
The Breva jet robot mop is an excellent addition to my house. It is surprisingly useful in keeping my hardwood floors clean, and when paired with a vacuum robot, I have not seen a spec of dust in days.
What I really like about this robot mop is how thorough it is when mopping the floors. It was able to navigate through tough corners, and even between all the chairs around the dining table. The robot will also avoid carpet as best as it can. From what I noticed, if there is an elevation change, it will consider that as carpet, and back up to try a different route. If you are worried that the robot might spray things by accident like your walls or furniture, don't be. Before it sprays, it backs up from the route it used to be on by a couple of feet, sprays, and then continues on. I was quite surprised at how delicate it was around the obstacles. While it does bump into things, it is not rough and does not leave any scratches or dents.
The whole package comes with a sample bottle of cleaning solution and four cleaning pads (two wet and two dry). The cleaning solution for me on a normal run (about 400-500 square feet) looks like it will last 4 runs before I'd have to buy more. I did also set the spray amount to the least as any higher was making the floor unnecessarily wet. Although the wet mops were advertised as one use only, it's probably best to use your best judgement before throwing it away. For me, I was able to get a couple uses out of them before they were filled with dust.
The app used to control the robot is very simple. Following the steps to set up the robot, you can have it up and running in less than five minutes. The app also learns your home the best that it can, so to have consistent cleaning it is best to keep the layout as close as possible.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the performance and handiness of this robot. While it may seem like a robot vacuum will be enough for your floors, you'd be surprised at the amount of dust it misses or pushes around when vacuuming. To get the cleanest floors with little effort, investing in a mop robot is not a bad idea at all.

Great Surround Sound System For a Beginner
on June 11, 2019
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
This soundbar is a very good attempt at reproducing a home theater sound system without all the hassle of multiple wires and buying the right receiver. It produces a good enough movie watching experience that if you were to buy a home theater surround sound system, you would likely have to spend a bit more to surpass what this soundbar provides. However, it is not without its own frustrations and one must keep in mind the limitations of what a soundbar can actually do compared to a full surround sound system.
For starters, the initial setup could not be any easier. You will need an outlet for each of the surround sound speakers, one for the soundbar, and another one for the subwoofer. Configuring the wireless speakers to connect to the soundbar took less than a minute total. The next step is quite important to get the most out of this soundbar, and that is placement. The manual includes recommendations on distances between the focus point, and this is important because in order to experience full dolby atmos, the sound has to reflect off of your side walls and ceiling. As you can already tell, this may not be suitable to many. You might have obstructions in the way, or you a window/ceiling fan blocking the reflection path. If that is the case, this may not be the product for you. Afterwords, the soundbar itself has levels for each speaker that you can adjust. If you don't take your time here to properly configure the levels to your liking, then you might as well buy a cheaper sound system. My advice is to find a sound track (I used one from the dolby site that tested an atmos system) and basically play that track until it is to your liking.
Once you have the system configured correctly, getting to finally use the system is when you've now realized all that time invested in optimizing was worth it. I've experienced multiple soundbars in the past and this one easily takes the cake. You really can tell and hear the sound around you. In my opinion, the thing that is holding this back slightly would be the subwoofer. The bass just isn't there sometimes, and in this department I may be spoiled a bit by my other subwoofers.
Overall, this is a solid investment if you have the room for it. This is a great stepping stone for someone who wants to experience full surround sound without the hassle of buying a lot of equipment.

Great low maintenance espresso machine
on January 7, 2019
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
This PicoBaristo Espresso Machine is an excellent kitchen appliance for those who want automation in making a variety of espresso coffee drinks. In my experience, I've used a variety of coffee makers ranging from the AeroPress, standard drip coffee machine with espresso attachment, a Keurig, and now this. Now obviously the price point is significantly different but all of that extra cost goes into a finely tuned machine that makes consistent drinks every time.
There are many things I'd like to point out about this machine that impressed me. For starters, everything about this machine was well thought out. All the removable parts are easy to locate, and there are no parts that are fixed that should be removed. You can have a peace of mind that you're able to clean anything coffee/milk could potentially touch. One of my biggest gripes with other coffee makers is the amount of cleanup needed. Here, the PicoBaristo is able to self clean for the most part. You'll just need to empty the drip tray and used coffee grounds once a week and you're good to go. Another feature I liked is how simple it is to operate. I can have my coffee in basically two button presses (on, and then coffee selection). The milk carafe is an excellent container since I can just store my milk away in the same container when finished. I don't have to rewash a milk frother every time I want a cappuccino. In terms of speed, for a milk drink it is basically unmatched. In under 5 minutes from a cold start to finish, I have a nice warm cup of cappuccino. Other coffee only drinks are the same, and its speed could maybe be matched by a Keurig. However, what a Keurig significantly lacks is customization. I can adjust multiple options that can range from coffee strength, size of grounds, and water temperature. You can even put in your own coffee grounds if you hate how the machine does it.
I don't have many complaints about this espresso machine. Definitely take the time to read the instructions manual. Not everything is as straight forward, and there were many warnings about what not to do highlighted in the manual. As always, with any machine that relies on all its moving parts functioning correctly together, this means weekly maintenance to ensure a longer lifespan. Depending on your usage, you'll need to clean and re-lube gears with the provided lube about once a month.
For a daily drinker, this espresso machine has certainly made my days that much more enjoyable. For anyone who wants an automatic espresso without going to a cafe, maybe give the PicoBarista a chance. You'd be surprised how much more you'll like your coffee.

Excellent starter/mid level PC
on November 29, 2018
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
This model of HP's pavilion line-up has all the bells and whistles you need to be able to do almost anything demanding. The 8 core Ryzen 2700 is one of the highest end 2nd gen processor in the Ryzen series you can get. The RX 580 handles all games at 1080p for the most part, and the other components (ssd, memory) work well together to bring you a good collection of parts.
PROS:
-It's quiet. A lot quieter than I had expected. Playing a demanding game for 4 hours, I could barely hear the fans blowing. On idle, it's basically dead silent.
-The PC itself is actually quite small, I'd say about as large as a 15" laptop in terms of it's height and width. I'm surprised how well they were able to cram all the components inside the case without making it look like a mess.
-Minimal bloatware on start up. The only really annoying thing was McAfee which I immediately uninstalled.
CONS:
-While it's nice that it's small and quiet, this also means it can get pretty hot. After my 4 hour gaming session, the temperatures got up to around 70 for the CPU and 90 for the GPU. The CPU temperatures might be ok, but the GPU temperatures are a bit high for my taste. This is also caused by the fact that the case only has one fan. One fan! The entire case has one exhaust fan to cycle air through. They could have designed it so that a front fan is included which would greatly increase airflow.
-The included RX 580 is a 4GB version. That's half of what you'll usually see in a RX 580, and many benchmarks comparing a 580 to a GTX 1060 uses the 8GB version. This is something to keep in mind when searching how well the 580 will do in your games.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
This really is a nice PC at a very reasonable price. As a buyer, you should go into this thinking you'll be buying a PC as is, and not really something you'll be upgrading on for later. While it's possible to upgrade/swap out parts in the computer, it certainly isn't easy to do. You'll find that you'll be much happier using the PC as is, and it certainly won't disappoint.

Great Oven with many features
on November 29, 2018
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
This Quartz Countertop Oven from Calphalon did a lot of things right. Many of the minor nuances from using my old oven toaster were fixed/improved with this oven. It has made using this oven on a day to day basis much more enjoyable.
For starters, there are many quality of life things to list off that they did correctly:
- Oven saves your last settings for each preset (toast, oven, etc) so you don't have to re-calibrate again.
- There are multiple presets and the two knob design makes it extremely simple to use without an instructions manual.
- The oven knows to self shut off when down. It does not continually beep / flash forever letting you know.
- Three large buttons to start, stop, and light makes operating the oven much more fluid (I had to search for the start button with my old oven).
- When using the bake preset, the oven will self preheat and then you can start the timer that you've set.
I can't stress how easy it is to operate this oven. You don't have to waste time pressing buttons multiple times to select your function because you can just twist the knob quickly. There is also a removable tray at the bottom to catch crumbs (I've wrapped mine in foil to make it super easy to clean). As far as how well it bakes your food, well it's about the same as any other countertop oven. If you've only used those cheap tiny toasters before, then prepare to experience a new pleasure in life. I have yet to have inconsistently toasted bread/bagels. And because this oven saves my preset, I don't have to remember where I set it last time.
There are not many things to complain about this oven, and even this complaint I'm going to make is minor. The door does not open fully perpendicular to the surface - meaning the handle props the door up just a bit. For some reason, this makes me feel like I'm going to one day accidentally brush my wrist on the edge of the door and burn myself.
Overall, I am extremely happy with this countertop oven. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an upgrade to their kitchen.

Great keyboard for gaming
on October 22, 2018
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
The good:
First off, as a keyboard, it gets the job done well. It has blue switches in it, so if you've used a keyboard with those, you already know how it feels. If you haven't, blues are very clicky/responsive and feel good to type on.
All of the bells and whistles work and are very easy to set up as well. The software to configure the colors and macros is super easy to use as well. I've never had a keyboard with backlights or macros before and it took me 10 seconds to learn how it works. It comes with a lot of preset color schemes (both static and moving), and you can customize all of them. You can also choose to just assign each key or group of keys a color from scratch if you want to. Also, the volume slider bar is nice to have and is easy to reach.
The bad:
The spacebar. Not sure why they decided to have a spacebar twice as tall and slide the arrow keys down from the rest of the keyboard to line up with it as well. I'm used to it now but it's still a bit strange.
The loudness of the keys. Blue switches are known for being really nice to type on but also loud to those around you. The loudness won't be an issue for you, but it might cause issues if you use it in a shared environment where people are working. If the only people around you are also gaming though, it's not a problem.
Overall:
If you're looking for a high end gaming keyboard, you can't go wrong with the Sequencer. My complaints are pretty minor and the important thing is that it works well to play games on. The backlights are really nice, and if you aren't creative they already give you a lot of nice looking presets you can use.

Great Wireless Kit
on October 13, 2018
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
This WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer kit from Klipsch gives you much more flexibility in how you want to position your subwoofers. The further you place your subwoofer away from your receiver, the higher the chance of electromagnetic interference will occur. With this wireless kit, the chance of EMI is greatly reduced at long distances.
The setup for this kit was extradordinally simple. All I had to do was plug in my RCA cable into the transmitter, and then plug the receiver into the back of my Klipsch R-115SW subwoofer and it was ready to go. One nice thing about having this wireless kit is that you can boost or lower the volume of your subwoofer via the transmitter if you so choose.
Overall, this is a very nice kit for those looking to go wireless with their subwoofers. You can avoid the hassle of long cables going to your receiver or to your outlets.

The Last Subwoofer You'll Need
on October 9, 2018
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
When Klipsch says the R-115SW would wake your neighbors, they were not kidding. This thing packs a serious punch if you're not prepared for it. Any song with sufficient bass would shake the entire room without even needing to turn up the volume that much.
Initial setup for this subwoofer is pretty simple. You can either plug in a LFE cable to the right analog, or use a L/R analog. The configurations are as simple as they get, with only a phase, gain, and crossover knobs. Because of how large this sub is and depending on your use, you don't really have to crank the bass up. Even at -4.0db in my receiver settings, movies were rumbling and shaking the room without a problem. This subwoofer really compliments my home theater setup because of how controlled the base is. My previous 10" subwoofer would overpower my speakers sometimes because I had to up the volume on it inorder to get that theater feel. This, however, just does it like it's a walk in the park. The only compromise you'll get from owning this is space since the subwoofer itself is HUGE. You don't really notice it in a big room, but in a small theater room, it really sticks out.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Klipsch R-115SW. It solved all my previous problems with a weak bass and more. I now go into every movie looking forward to the action scenes where I feel the rumbles in my seat. If you're looking for the next upgrade to your subwoofer, then this may be the thing you're missing.

The Dolby Atmos Speakers To Get
on October 9, 2018
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
This is my first time using a Dolby Atmos speaker, and what a great addition to my existing 5.1 setup this is. It's amazing how much more immersed you feel with the height speakers installed.
Initial setup is about as easy as any other speaker setup. Plug them in, and put them on top of your from tower speakers angled towards the viewer. These Klipsch speakers were designed to reflect off of the ceiling and bounce back to the viewer. This means that if you have high ceilings then these speakers just won't work that well. You can switch the configuration to use as surround speakers if you'd like; There's a switch on the back that allows you to do so. As far as configuration goes, I had to mess around it for a while before I got it to where I liked. You really have to up the volume on them compared to your other speakers since they have to reflect off your ceiling. Once I got them to where they were satisfactory, it made all the difference in my movies. I was hearing sounds that I never paid attention to come to life above my head. These speakers to a great job at producing clean, crisp sounds so all the effects are clearly heard.
Whether you are new to the Dolby Atmos experience like me, or a veteran looking for an upgrade, these Klipsch speakers are the ones to get. If you want to have your movie experience go to the next level, then these speakers will get you there.

Excellent Center Speaker
on October 9, 2018
Posted by: Leonardo
from CO
The Klipsch Reference Premiere center speaker is an excellent addition to the home theater line up. When used alongside a nice set of front, rear, and subwoofer, this center speaker really brings the whole package home. You get excellent sound quality without compromising loudness. I can hear all the highs and lows play back as if I was listening to them live in person.
Before I upgraded to these, I had a generic Polk Audio center speaker. When I got that, I thought it sounded great. But now that I have heard what these Klipsch speakers are capable of, I can never go back to what I had. It's both a blessing and curse, as now I am conditioned to how much better all my media can sound after listening to these. All of my music that I play, whether it be alternative, rock, or classical, is unmatched when played in anything else that I own. When watching movies, I can feel myself be a part of the set as if it was happening in real life.
For anyone that is looking for a center speaker replacement, then look no further. These speakers will change your life and become a great addition to your home theater setup.

This Insignia™ NS-BK1TSS6 kegerator/beverage cooler holds either a 1/2 keg or a 1/4 slim keg and features an adjustable thermostat, so you can easily keep your favorite drinks cold. Two wire shelves help you maintain organization.
 

Is it true Miller Lite kegs do not fit into this Kegerator?

All that matters is what size the keg is. Shouldn't matter if it is Coors, Pabst, Miller, etc. This kegerator fits up to a 1/2 barrel keg (15.5gal).

If you get a 1/2 barrel keg and fill it with Miller Lite, it will fit into the Kegerator, but the Kegerator will disapprove of your beer choice, as will anybody with any self-respect.

What do I need?

Hi- I just want to get a wireless router for my home that will allow me to connect with a Droid, iPhone, and laptop for internet and email downloads. I also need LAN cord output to connect directly to my DVD player for Netflix. I use Comcast. I have NO idea what specs or type of modem I need. Can someone help?
You should be able to find the list of compatible Comcast modems on their website. For the most part, an entry level modem such as the ARRIS SURFboard SB6121 should do the trick. This modem supports up to 174Mbps download, which is more than what most people have anyways. You can usually find these cheap-ish when on sale, since it's very popular.

How do you charge the powerpack? Do you plug it into your computer?

Yes, you can plug it into a computer's USB or into a much faster USB wall adapter. Computer USB's output at a max of 0.9A which means it could take a while to fully charge it. Your standard wall USB adapter for your mobile devices will likely work much better. Anything with a 1.0A to 2.1A range should charge this battery pack relatively quickly.
