Fist off - follow the instruction for a easy setup. It instructs you as to when to plug the scanner into your computer - and this is important as you need to get the app FIRST.
Overall - this is a great workhorse scanner. I have a combination of documents, photos and flyers that I scan in regularly. This scanner has made quick work of my backlog of items to scan since my previous scanner was not compatible with Windows 11.
Photo scanning quality was GREAT. My photos looks very good scanned in, and the app offers many enhancements that you can perform on the photos - including red-eye fix and an auto fix. Very nice for new users.
Document scanning work well too. Adjust your dpi settings to get the right combination of quality to file size that you desire. The document feed works great and I LOVE, LOVE the dual sided scanning feature. If the second size if blank, you can set the program to automatically remove blank or empty pages.
The job button on the front allows you to program 9 quick-set programs. This is great for switching between media types easily. Also know that you can customize the output locations for each job - so if you have multiple folders that you put things in - this feature was made for you.
In all - I really like this scanner and have used it DAILY since I received it. I don't normally give 5 stars to many products, but this one has earned it from my view.

The average person touches their phone 2,617 times per day, transferring germs to it with each touch. The simplehuman EPA-registered cleanstation uses an omni-lux™ chamber to sanitize the entire surface of your phone, killing 99.9% of germs in just 30 seconds – fast enough to use while washing your hands. As soon as you insert your phone, it automatically lowers into the omni-lux chamber where 30 high-intensity UV-C LED lights use highly reflective aluminum to ensure UV rays are hitting the entirety of your phone's surface. When sanitation is complete, the phone will automatically raise up. Keep your cleanstation by the sink so you can wash your hands with simplehuman's touch-free sensor pump while sanitizing your phone at the same time.

Feel more safe from germs!

Well - it may be a little overboard, but I've acquired a UV light, germ killin' apparatus for feeling safer with my cell phones. I've read the average person touches their phone 2500 times a day. That's alot of fingerprints, and even more germs.
Enter the simplehuman Cleanstation. It works like a toaster for your phone - without the heat. It uses UV-C light to kill germs - including coronaviruses in as little as 20 seconds. The Cleanstation retracts your phone into the killin' light chamber and submerses it in a light bath for 30 seconds, then slowly raises your phone up for you to take - playing a chime to let you know that it is done.
So - does it work? Many recent studies do indeed indicate that UV-C light kills germs, viruses, etc. Hospitals, airlines, hotels and more use UV-C light to disinfect surfaces.
Note - it does not clean your fingerprints or other surface dirt off your phone. That's your job. It just shines that UV-C light on it and kills the bad stuff. My family likes it!

We all run out of power occasionally, so why not plan ahead and pick up a solid charger like this Anker Powercore III 20K mAh. It is a life-saver for those dependent on staying connected!
This sturdy, well constructed device has but one button that can alternate charging speeds (trickle/fast). It contains 4 small LEDs that indicate the current charge capacity of the device. Along the bottom are 3 USB ports ( 2 USB-A and 1 USB-C). Use the Type C port to charge the device as well as to connect to devices you want to charge. It's also very thin - as you can see in the picture compared to a pen.
Gave 4 stars because: 1. It's not wireless. I think all devices should be wireless capable - but you'll have to spend more for that upgrade. 2. No charger block/brick is included. You simply get the battery device, a short USC-A to USB-C cable, and a cool mesh bag to carry it in.
Overall - very pleased with the Anker Powercore III 20K device and its ability to fast charge. The 20000 mAh is enough to charge me phone 4-5 times if needed!

Decent sound, comfortable
on November 17, 2021
Posted by: TechMatcher

I've been wearing the Belkin SOUNDFORM Move Plus earbuds today while I work and while I mowed the yard. There are very comfortable in my ears - so much so I hardly noticed them.
Right our of the box - they were automatically in paring mode and paired up to my iPhone with ease. I had only charged them for about an hour and have been already listening to them for over 4 hours. They are rated at 5 hours playtime battery life with another 19 in the charging case - no reason at this point to say that is inaccurate.
For the price, I think this is a great investment for those wanting an option to the more expense earbuds on the market. Also - the charging case also works by just setting it on a wireless charger!
Box includes charge case, earbuds, short USB charging cord and 3 different size ear tips. I did have to read the manual to learn the volume and sound controls....so don't throw it out!

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
from Minneapolis
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!

Perceive every detail of your music with this pair of JBL wireless headphones. The 10Hz to 22kHz frequency response lets you enjoy the full range of sound, while the in-line microphone provides an effortless switch to hands-free calls. Featuring 5.6mm dynamic drivers, these JBL wireless headphones supply rich, resonant bass for your enjoyment.
Are these noise cancelling for gyms that play really loud music?
These are PASSIVE noise cancelling - meaning the tighter you make the fit - the better the noise cancelling will be. Active noise cancelling uses battery power to help mask sounds - the JBL Free X version DOES NOT do that. Likely you will be able to hear a little of the loud music...

Ditch the headphone cable with these Insignia Bluetooth wireless earbuds. With up to five hours of use per charge and an included charging case for mid-day boosts, these earbuds are ideal for daily use. These Insignia Bluetooth wireless earbuds feature a built-in microphone for hands-free calling and easy voice commands.
Can you use one ear piece by itself without affecting sound quality?
Well....stereo sound REQUIRES a Left and Right channel. This headset can work with just one earpiece - the RIGHT one, as the left earpiece depends on the right earpiece. So YES, you can use one earpiece, but you won't have stereo sound....

Can you pair one with one phone and another if another phone so that two people can share one set?
Yes - but they will work with only one phone at a time. This is standard for bluetooth technologies. You may find that if both phones are in the room and you power up the headphones, it may connect to the wrong phone. You'll have to forget the device or disconnect from them if that happens.

It continuously self-organizes and optimizes to find the fastest path to the Internet for seamless Wi-Fi everywhere. Individual nodes may be connected wirelessly or by Ethernet for fast, reliable connection. This is an ultrasimple and powerful system that uses only one Wi-Fi network name and password to give you seamless and secure Wi-Fi. And leading-edge security lets you block content and easily pause the Internet for dinner or homework.

Trying to find a system that works in a house over 4000 sq feet. WiFi extenders didn’t work. Have a Spectrum WiFi router. What router is compatible w/Spectrum that I can use with mesh system. Do nodes just plug in? Will be used for iPads and phones only.
The great things about mesh WiFi systems is you can just keep adding nodes. You can have 2,5,8, whatever you need - then next node just needs to be withing range of the previous one. So even if you have a 10,000 sq ft home, you could have 10 nodes strategically placed all over!

If I buy this Mesh system here in the United States, can I use it in the Middle East to enhance the coverage in the home I'll be staying at, that currently has DSL?
As long as you have the right power adapters, they will work with in any location. Networking isn't any different in the Middle East - but power might be. Be sure to check on that thoroughly.

Clean those hard-to-reach places in your home with this Shark cordless vacuum. Its bristle brush deep-cleans any carpet, and the additional soft-roll brush pulls in larger particles from wood floors while polishing them. The rechargeable, high-capacity Li-Ion battery keeps this Ninja cordless vacuum's DuoClean Technology ready for tough cleaning chores.
I need a lightweight vacuum for medical reasons which would you recommend? Also one that is powerful!
This is a 12lb vacuum - so not the lightest but it's also a combination upright, stick and hand vacuum. You can separate the pieces to make it lighter to carry - one in each hand - and can even vacuum like that. I think it's pretty powerful for being electric - and states it can run up to 50 minutes on a charge.
