Philips Norelco Shaver 9500 delivers superior closeness and personalized skin comfort with SenseIQ technology. Designed to prevent skin irritation, the 9500 features Pressure Guard Sensor which guides you to the the right pressure as you shave.
Posted by: TechMatcher

I have owned a few different electric shavers, and this Norelco 9500 is the best yet! Right out of the box and onto the charger, I gave it a full charge and tried it out on my 3 days of growth. No issues at all, fast, smooth and fairly quiet!
It came with a Quick clean pod - a first for me. After unsealing the liquid cartridge and placing it into the pod - I saw how the contraption worked and was pretty impressed. You turn the shaver on as it sits upside down in the cleaning pod, and it cycles on and off - cleaning, de-odorizing and lubricating the shaver all at once. Seems to take about 30-60 seconds. It says to let it sit in there until it dries. Done.
If you've never used an electric razor before, you'll notice that you can shave in about 1/3 of the time. You can even sit down and do 2 jobs at once if you want - or use it in the shower!
Overall, it comes with a case, charger cord, cleaning pod and cartridge. I would have liked a charging stand though like I have for my other shavers....thus 4 stars.

Calm your worries and keep track of your health in the comfort of your own home. Take charge of your heart well-being with a professional-grade, automatic blood pressure and pulse monitor. Take the monitor anywhere with the included storage case. All your data can be synced with Bluetooth~ technology through the free Beurer HealthCoach app in order to manage your health vitals and share results with your doctor between visits. The preciseness of German engineering of the Beurer BM76 allows for the detection of irregular heartbeats signaling potential heart problems, as well as tracking blood pressure, which allows you to take preventative actions for high blood pressure (also known as hypertension).

I've had mixed success using this Beurer bluetooth upper arm blood pressure monitor. As other have experienced, I find that it needs to run 3 cycles about 50% of the time - only to error out at the end. I have an average size arm and my wife is in the medical field, so we're using it correctly. The last run usually pumps up to over 200 and deflates so slowly that my arm and hand go numb before it's finished.
When it works, it works quickly and the features of having bluetooth capability my phone for up to 4 people made this an attractive device, but the mixed results has rendered it ineffective for me.
Gave 2 stars for features, and only 2 for functionality.

Get even closer to your favorite music with the exceptional bass performance and noise cancellation of the WH-XB910N wireless headphones with EXTRA BASS and Dual Noise Canceling technologies.
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Although I haven't been able to take this on an airline yet - I'm very excited to. These Sony headphones are comfortable and sound great at home! Bluetooth easily paired, and setup went well including the Sony apps available for your phone.
Firmware was automatically updated on first use and battery life thus far has been great. I charged for about 2 hours before using and have used for about 10 hours now with noise cancelling. Hoping to get the stated 20 more (30 hours with NC on).
A surprising find was how good they worked on phone calls. My picky call recipients said I sounded as good or better than my go-to boom headset I use for conference calls. Nice job!
I like the case and audio jack cord that came with - but they could have provided something a bit longer than the 6" USB C type charging cord. What were they thinking? Oh well, I have another cord I can use.
Sound for music is exceptional, strong bass and full sound. Very excited to wear these more.

Powerful speaker deliver robust 3D surround sound that fire from front, side and above, for the most immersive sound for your home theatre experience.
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I have several soundbars in my house - as most TVs just cannot produce a decent quality audio stream at all. This Samsung 3.1.2 soundbar does not disappoint - and the minute I hooked it up and was cranking some bluetooth tunes, the kids came running to see what was producing such big sounds!
The Dolby Atmos/DTSfeature is nice, but I think it is hard to pull off Atmos sound on a single unit soundbar - so although I do hear a slight difference it's not as good as the Atmos I have setup in the basement with dedicated speakers.
Overall - I'm impressed with the sound and ease of setup - and if you are looking for an entry level start into Atmos - or you're just tired of straining to hear on those little TV speakers - this soundbar will greatly improve your audio experience!

Very capable multi-function printer
on September 12, 2021
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Just received the ET-4850 multi-function printer and opened it immediately to setup it up. Setup took about 30 minutes using the Epson Smart Panel app on my iphone. It walked me right through it from filling tanks to WiFi with no problems.
Filling the ink tanks was a breeze - hard to believe just how easy it was and how much it can reduce future costs of ink! Great job Epson.
Print setup was easy as well - ran through the adjustments and tweaked a few settings with no issues. Print quality looks good for normal document printing. Photo printing was very good - especially using photo paper.
Scanning was easy to use, but the initial quality suffered. After playing with the resolution and a few other settings, I have it working better. The document feeder works well too. I used it both scanning and copying - flawless.
I only gave a 4 star rating as I can't seem to find a way to set/retain the default scan save location. I want it to go into the "My Scans" folder on my PC.....
Other than the default scanning location issue - this printer is quiet, fast and easy to setup! Sure to be a solid performer in your home!

Interesting concept for a vacuum
on August 11, 2021
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
This is my 4th Shark vacuum - I have one on each floor and at my son's apartment. The Vertex Pro with MultiFLEX is interesting not only in how the unit stores, but how it feels and operates with in the FLEX mode - a bit awkward in my opinion.
I'll admit it does a decent job cleaning, is light and maneuverable and certainly able reach under bed, chairs, couches, etc. The Power fins work great - with two labs and a cat two long haired women in the house, I haven't yet noticed any buildup of hair on the rollers or anywhere underneath.
Battery run time is average, less than the full 60 min as advertised, but I run it at full suction strength. Charging is also a bit awkward - you have to plug the battery into a little 1/4" jack. I would have expected a charging station or something....so now I have yet another power adapter and charger to try not to lose.
Overall - it's a unique concept for a vacuum that provides solid cleaning and flexibility. If you're looking for a cordless vacuum option - this may fit the need for you!

Excellent Productivity Laptop!
on June 29, 2021
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Let's start right off by saying "I'm very impressed"! I didn't expect the colors and QLED screen to blow me away - but they did and you can't help but notice! Along with that, it's got a very quick and responsive feel, makes me happy. :-)
Seriously though, when I have a chance to test new laptops, I run them through the Passmark Performance Test tool. I've attached the final result from this laptop's test below. It even beat my current "loaded" laptop in some categories like memory and disk. Download the tool for free and compare to your existing system. I'd be curious to see some of your own test results on your existing system - post them in the comments! Remember - this is NOT a dedicated gaming device - more for everyday productivity and entertainment use.
So far, the only CON is has is the charger. Most new thin 2-1 devices and Ultrabooks are leverage USB-C type chargers, this laptop still has a 1/16" jack. It works, just odd that Samsung is still using that.
Speakers are adequate for a small device like this. I expect that for audiophiles, they'll connect to their favorite Bluetooth speaker or use the headset cable.
Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the solid feel, battery life, vivid QLED screen and overall performance of Flex2 Alpha.

I don't often give 5 stars, but I'm very happy with the features and performance of this portable speaker. Quite literally, I've used it every day while my landscaping crew gets the job done!
Bluetooth range is great, sound and bass are full and amazing! The color ring is cool - but obviously in the daylight we don't really notice it.
There are many features to take advantage off, the best in my opinion would be the Party Mode (if you have more than one of these or your friends do, you can connect them together for an immersive sound experience) and Guitar Amp - where this device can be used as a guitar amplifier for you or your strumming friends! Also, a 30 hour battery life.....really a must have especially if you want to charge your phone on this bad boy. Lastly, the IP66 Water-resistant and Dustproof Design. Since this is on the job landscaping - you can imagine how important this is.
Overall - very pleased and I'm sure you will be too. Even the dog likes it (see pictures) - also showing relation in size to a 70 lb Labrador retriever

Hair Control in your Hand!
on April 20, 2021
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I'll admit I was a bit skeptical when I was introduced to a light-based permanent hair removal system. The short answer is Yes - it works, but it takes time and persistence to see the results.
Not to be confused with LASER hair removal, this is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) that is directed at the hair follicle to get results. Some people have mentioned a slight tingling sensation - also like a sunburn - in very specific locations.
To see results, follow the instructions and clean/shave the area first. I tested on my a particular area of my back, my wife tested on a small area of her leg. Both did show reduced hair growth - which was quite exciting! Our testing technique used the Stamp mode pulse - meant for smaller areas. The Glide more is for larger area like the whole back or whole leg.
The treatment can be done quickly, but the instruction and box say you can do the whole body in 10 minutes. I find that a bit hard to believe, but maybe if you get more efficient and consistent over time. The hardest part for us was not overlapping the stamp mode pulses - or missing areas in between. I suppose the Glide mode would have just worked better for us.
Overall we intend to keep using the device on more areas of the body. It doesn't come with a case or bag, so it's a jumbled mess in my drawer. That would have been a good option to include.

Great looks, slim features
on April 5, 2021
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Becoming a mostly paper office has been difficult - and I still print when needed. What I really need is a great duplex scanner and copier. The HP 8025e looks great, but misses on some fundamental features.
Most notably missing is the duplex scanning feature from the auto feeder. I use that feature all the time - so that's a deal-breaker for me and results in the loss of 2 stars.
On a positive note - setup on a phone and Windows computer was a breeze. Both worked flawlessly and printed easily. The automated alignment test was equally as easy. Nice job HP!
Print quality was sufficiently good for home and light office use. Works well for a family with kids in school. You may want to opt for high-yield cartridges though or keep extra on hand - as the roughly 250 page yield is just half a ream of paper!
Overall - if you don't need Automatic 2-sided copy and scan, this printer would be fine for your home office needs!

Rest easy knowing your home is protected, whether you're there or away with Arlo Pro 4. With no wires, your camera connects directly to your Wi-Fi network so you can easily install in minutes. Spot unique details with color night vision, and see more in dark areas with the integrated spotlight.

Receive notifications and view videos that tell you a package, person, vehicle or even an animal is detected, so you can take quick action like phone a friend, sound an alarm or call emergency services with included trial of Arlo Secure. Personalize what you get notified for and create custom activity zones to ensure you only get alerts for what matters, reducing those that are less important. Arlo Secure includes cloud recordings of video clips at 2K or lower resolution for 30 days. Renewal of an Arlo Secure plan is required to maintain Arlo Secure features, including cloud storage and activity zones.
So I purchase an Arlo 4 to live stream on my wi fi as a SIXTH camera to my already FULL 5 camera account. I get a free smart subscription and everything works. When the subscription expires and I do not wish to renew, my Arlo 4 is useless, correct?
Well - yes. You either pay for the Arlo subscription upgrade, or perhaps you remove one of your older Arlo's and leverage the great camera quality and features of the Arlo Pro4. Unfortunately, that's the way technology goes - replace old stuff with new stuff.

Monitor your surroundings with this Night Owl 16-channel DVR security system. The four Full HD cameras feature L2 Color Boost technology to maintain footage clarity in low-light conditions, while the single sign-on two-step verification ensures secure access. This Night Owl 16-channel DVR security system features a 1TB HDD for ample storage.
Will this DVR system work with other non-night owl cameras (PAL)? I have some really nice wide angle, commercial grade cameras.
From my understanding, it may work - but Night Owl only supports their certified products.

What is "Realistic Battery Life" of the Microsoft Surface Book 3 - 15 inch if it is used mainly to run software like Excel, Word, Microsoft Edge browser, and some YouTube video ? I've seen video reviews which have mentioned as little as 6 hours.
I've already used mine for 12 hours without charging. The Microsoft website claims 16 hours..

What are the differences between Surface Book 2 and Surface Book 3?
Aside from the price (SB3 is obviously more), the SB3 is upgraded with a newer/better CPU, a better GPU, WiFi-6, better battery life, more memory options, etc.
