Quality case - solid feel
on March 18, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'm a bit picky on my cases for my phones. I tend to like a silicone case for the "grippiness" and feel, and this Insignia case is a great price. This case is engineered with a magnetic ring, built right into the case - so for those of you invested in the MagSafe chargers or accessories - this will work well for you.
I have wireless pad type chargers all over my house, and this case has not had any issue with them at all - and also fits into my Ultraviolet Phone cleaner! I have another case for my iPhone 14 Pro that doesn't fit will into that cleaner - so this Insignia case just became my go-to case!
The Raised edges on the back are big enough to protect my 3 cameras when I set it on my desk or counter, and the front has a slightly raised edge as well. There's a Microfiber liner and protects the back of the phone from the case itself - ultimately keeping your phone in pristine condition. I like the soft green color - making my phone easy to identify compared to my family array of blue and black phones and cases.
Overall - a great value and product!

Fast and Efficient trimmer
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I recently received the WeedWhacker 2.0 Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer to add to my plethora of grooming tools. Neatly packaged with a 5V charger block and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, this "dollar-sized" trimmer is perfect for controlling those ear and nose hairs that happen more often than we like to think.
The first step after unboxing it to charge this device for up to a full 8 hours to set the battery charge correctly the first time. It's an important step so make sure you do it before use.
After charging, I set to work trimming my nose and ears. I had no pinching or pulling of hair - which is always the worry - and within a few minutes was all cleaned up and ready to go. You can use it wet or dry and rinse it off under the faucet. The cutting head is replaceable too if needed.
The rechargeable battery holds about 45 minutes of run time. If you need that long to clean yourself up, we should probably be having another discussion.
Overall - I'm pleased with the size and performance of this personal grooming device - and intend to use it for years to come!

Nifty Home Printer with cool features!
on January 23, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
The HP Smart Tank 5101 AIO printer is a capable device for home and perhaps small office printing. I say "perhaps", as this small form factor printer lacks office features like Automatic Duplex Printing, a Document feeder and a paper tray. For home use - it has worked flawlessly through my many computers, iPhones, tablets and Chromebooks. Print quality is quite impressive for such a small unit, and setup was easy.
Unboxing, there's the printer, power cord, 4 bottles of ink and 2 print heads. See Picture. Filling the printer tanks was easy and completely mess free. Not a drop spilled or leaked. I had minor trouble with installing the print heads - likely because I was distracted on a phone call - but once I focused just a little, they went in without issue.
The first thing the printer did was print out an alignment page. Not one for following directions, I didn't realize the printer NEEDED to scan this alignment page before moving on. That confused me a bit and made me open the direction book - and once that was done it was ready to go.
I joined the device to my WiFi using the HP Smart app - an intuitive app that gives you good control over the printer and settings. Airprint worked great and was also easy to use.
There is no paper tray on bottom like I'm used to - it's got a small area on the back that you stand up the paper (100 sheets max). The output tray can handle about 30 sheets before stuff starts falling on the ground - so be careful if you're printing something a bit long. Print speed is decent, not going to complain for such a small printer.
Scanning from the flatbed works well and can create a variety of format types. The copy function works well to, but for me I need the duplex feature AND a document feeder, so this won't be my main office machine.
Overall - very capable, nice print quality, no-mess or fuss ink loading and compact form factor make this a nice addition to the home office!

Entry level hearing aid for minor hearing loss
on December 23, 2022
Posted by: TechMatcher
To start, I wanted to try the Lexie B2 OTC hearing aids as I have some hearing loss from being a drummer and DJ in my earlier years. I'm constantly asking people to repeat themselves and have quite a bit of difficulty hearing conversation in noisy environments like bars and restaurants. So - yes I was excited to try them out.
Right to the point - the Lexia B2 seem to be just an amplifier for your ear. It amplifies everything - perhaps too much. As I'm typing this, I'm wearing the devices with my World Volume set to 18 of 100 set to an Everyday Listening environment, and the clicking of my keyboard is quite loud. Rustling of papers or a paper chip bag is nearly unbearable.
On the PLUS side, I wore the devices for nearly a whole day before I told my family members I was wearing them. Either they don't look at me very closely, or they are hidden very well. I prefer to think the latter is the true. Battery life is also good - I can easily wear them a whole day 8+ hours without draining them completely. In addition, they are very light and comfortable - so much so that I almost forget that I'm wearing them. The Lexie app is also quite functional when it works.
On the CONS side, I was quite disappointed that the Lexia B2's don't function as bluetooth streaming devices for audio or phone calls. I would have thought that would be a very common feature to build in - maybe the B3's will have them. Also, the Lexie B2's did come with a new case for charging them in, but it's just a case - they didn't build in a battery for charging them. Most earbuds and devices come with a rechargable case vs just a carrying case. My last con is about connecting to the Lexie app. I'd say my devices connect about 50% of the time. I power them on and place them on/in my ears, then launch the Lexie app. My phone is within 2 feet of the devices, but it cannot connect. I either have to try to restart the devices or place them back in the case - then try again.
Overall, the Lexie B2 OTC Hearing Aids Powered by Bose work well as a sound amplifier, but I personally expected something with the Bose name to be much more function, refined and feature rich.

Great addition to my rental property
on December 21, 2022
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've recently replaced my outdoor light with the Wyze Wired Outdoor WiFi Floodlight at one of my rental properties. I needed to upgrade the outside light anyways, so I thought why not at in a camera at the same time to monitor who comes and goes from the property!
Installation was fairly easy and straight forward. I was worried the plastic components/housing wouldn't be study enough, but it is still having there after a few months and working as expected. The little hook included actually helps with install if you're doing it yourself. I ignored it at first - but ended up using it - so save yourself the learning step.
The camera appears to be just the Wyze v3 camera - which does give a nice image in both daylight and darkness. I'm happy with the image aside from the fact that I'd like to have a wider angle view. As seen in the photos, it's a fairly focused view and I'd like to be able to see more in the viewfinder.
In order to keep the images or videos, you must sign up for a subscription. It's relatively cheap and easy to do - so really not that big of deal but some people may not like the fact that you have to sign up for something.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the upgrade to the Wyze Floodlight Camera. I can now more eaily check to see if my tenants shoveled the front steps and sidewalk, and can look back and see who is coming in and out of the building and when.

We spend 90% of our time indoors where the air is often 2 to 5 times worse than the air outside. Continuous monitoring of indoor air quality is key for minimizing negative health effects, preventing illness and increasing productivity, energy and good health. Airthings, air quality specialists and experts in radon, created the Airthings Wave Plus as the first smart air quality monitor with radon detection. Wave Plus has since won multiple awards for consumer electronics and innovation and was among the 2019 TIME Magazine inventions of the year. It is the perfect solution for homeowners to gain full visibility into six indoor air factors; radon, carbon dioxide (CO2), airborne chemicals (TVOCs), humidity, temperature and air pressure. Airthings Wave Plus includes a free app to connect to your smartphone (iOS/Android) via Bluetooth and an online dashboard with advanced analytics. Battery operated allowing you to install anywhere, with 16 months battery life. Please allow for a 7-Day settling period for the sensors to adjust to their new environment. By monitoring daily and continuously, you can avoid radon side effects, get the best indoor humidity level, low voc levels and low carbon dioxide levels. Made to the best indoor air quality standards, Airthings Wave Plus is essential in every home.

Interesting (and scary) results
on November 6, 2022
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've recently acquired an AirThings Wave Plus monitor for my home. This sophisticated device monitors indoor air quality with 6 sensors: Carbon Dioxide, humidity, temperature, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and pressure. I like to think I have good quality air in my home (built in 2008), but according to the device, it is quite poor!
My house is a standard Minnesota 2 story home built in 2008. I have a radon mitigation system with a continuously running fan drawing air from under the home slab and expelling it out the roof. I also have an Air Exchanger running on the return side of my gas furnace. Currently set to exchange 60% of of inside air (transferring heat from the exiting inside air to the incoming fresh air) and then it passes through the furnace for additional heating/cooling and distributes it throughout my house.
So, I was quite surprised to see my elevated radon reading as well as high CO2 levels. Granted that I'm only 7 days into using the device and it needs time - even over a month to calibrate - I'm still a bit concerned to see these readings.
Temperature, pressure and humidity reading seem about right - so I can't say that the device in malfunctioning. To that end, I have access to a digital radon meter that I plan to use to compare readings.
Currently, I have the device placed horizontal in my office since that is where I spend most of the day. in a few weeks, I'll move it to a bedroom and compare results there too. After that is the basement.
Overall - this was an easy setup, app download and place the device - so anyone can do it. If you're concerned about your air quality in your home - this is a convenient way to capture some data and take action if needed. See attached pictures of the app and my somewhat scary readings.
Giving 5 stars for now for the ease of use and access to data.
I'll edit this review if I find the radon numbers to be inaccurate.

Fast and Stable
on October 24, 2022
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've always been a fan of NETGEAR products. This new Nighthawk AX5300 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 router is no exception. Note that this is not a MESH router - this is a single, stand-alone yet capable router that covers 2500 sq ft. If you have a small multi-level home, placing this on the center floor in the middle of the layout is your best bet. If you have a sprawling setup with lots of metal/concrete interference, you might want to consider a 2 or 3 node mesh router - like an Orbi.
Overall - I am very please with the performance of this router. In addition, the 5 gigabit ethernet ports (1 WAN, 4 LAN) make it convenient to hardwire multiple devices if you need the truest and fastest speeds - like for gaming. This device has a triple-core process and 512MB or RAM to easily handle up to 25 devices.
This router uses the AX wireless standard - to handle the newest and fastest generation of WiFi devices. Note that your existing desktops/laptops/devices may not yet use the AX standard - but since the router is backwards compatible, you won't have any trouble connecting.
Again - this is a very capable device that is easy to setup and use! If you haven't upgraded your Wi-Fi for a couple years - this will make a significant difference in your experience. Always be sure to update the firmware as well - to be as safe and secure as you can!

Wyze Cam Outdoor v2 takes everything you loved about the original wire-free, battery-powered Wyze Cam Outdoor to a whole new level. Now with our Starlight Sensor, you can see at night just as clear as day with Color Night Vision 1080p HD resolution. Get alerted when motion is detected, now up to 28% further away and set custom motion detection zones to only get alerts that matter to you. See even more than before with a wider, 130 degree field of view, so you can see more of what’s out there. Take advantage of the built-in security features like a motion-activated siren, two-way audio, and motion-detection alerts for even more peace of mind. Best of all, it’s easy to mount, has a 6-month battery life with easy recharging via microUSB, and you can even connect it to Wyze Solar Panel to eliminate the need to recharge ever again, depending upon your location.

Good for starting your home monitoring
on September 30, 2022
Posted by: TechMatcher
If you are looking for an affordable home/business monitoring solution - this Wyze v2 bundle might be just the thing for you! Including a Base Station (requiring wired internet) and 3 battery operated cameras, but can move them and place them in the best spots with ease.
Setup was breeze once you have a Wyze account, and these little cameras pack a ton of features. You should make a list of your needs and compare - as there are newer models with more features as well.
After charging the cameras fully, I deployed them to various locations - including switching WiFi networks - just to see if that was difficult. It wasn't - especially since the base station required wired internet - when switching networks you just need to change that and power off/on each camera.
I do like the color night vision - seems to work really well even when it is really dark. If you have an outside light that stays on - the color will work all the time (see picture). You can disable the IR lights if you prefer the color mode - otherwise in low light condition it will start with color then switch to black/white.
To record and save events to the cloud, you'll need to sign up for a subscription (common with many camera systems today). Each camera gets paid for individually - unless you want to just pay $99 for all your cameras.
Overall - I'm liking the portability of the bundle and ease of setup. This is a great place to start if you don't already have an investment in a particular system.

The Wyze Cam v3 is the 3rd generation of Wyze’s flagship camera, the Wyze Cam v2. Like its predecessor, the Wyze Cam v3 lets you see and record 1080p video right from the Wyze mobile app. New to the Wyze Cam v3 is its water-resistant design allowing for outdoor installation with an IP65 rating. The Wyze Cam v3 also takes advantage of an all-new Starlight Sensor which allows for extreme low-light performance and shows great detail in the dark. With the Wyze Cam v3's color night vision, night time video recording appears as if it’s day time.

Easy to setup, great features and quality
on September 30, 2022
Posted by: TechMatcher
I have several properties and thought setting up some cameras for security would be a good idea. These Wyze V3 fit the bill perfectly. For starters - they are relatively cheap so if they get stolen or damaged (likely in my area) it's not a major loss. For that reason alone I'll subscribe to the Cam Plus for unlimited length video recording (back to back available) and a bunch more features (Person/Package/Vehicle/Pet detection), etc.
The fact that these v3 cameras can do Color Night Vision and don't require a base station make them perfect for my use case. They do require power though - as does most everything these days - so really not a problem.
I've set these up in a few locations already - including switching WiFi networks in the process because I wanted to know how that works. It's fairly easy - you basically just re-setup the devices.
The daytime video quality is awesome - and night time is pretty good. You won't be pulling license plates from either mode unless they are close to the cameras - but again - these are $30 cameras. I'm happy with the picture quality they provide.
There are a tone of new features with the v3 as compared to the previous v2 model. Items like IP65 weather resistance, dual IR light system, color night vision as mentioned and more.
Overall - the price is right for you to setup your home security solution today!

Easy to use, perfect for fitness
on August 31, 2022
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'd like to share my thoughts on the JVC True Wireless Fitness Series. I've been looking for earbuds with ear hooks for a while so I was excited to try the JVC's out! I seem to have trouble with earbuds falling out of me ears, as I've lost more than one of earbuds from my other sets over the last 12 months. I'm very active outdoors - whether walking, hiking, yard work, etc - so I work hard and sweat hard all the time.
First off - there are S, M & L earpieces for you to try. I've learn you really do need to spend a few minutes and try them all - on any earbud set you buy - so you can be sure to find the best fit for your ears. Once you do that, you can hook the ear hooks around your ears, pair easily to your mobile device and start listening.
Pairing was super easy, but remembering the controls was a little more difficult. Most earbuds use a series of touches to control volume, pause/play songs, skip and reverse songs. These JCVs are the same - so just read through the directions so you know which one to touch.
Battery life is good as well - 7+ hours in the earbuds, and 22+ hours in the case. If you run the earbuds dead - it will take 2 hours to full charge them again - so plan ahead.
Overall, this is an economical set of devices that stay on your ears well (I still have both of mine) and produce quality sounds.

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
 

Can the lane departure tones be turned off? It's really really annoying! Goes off every time you come up on a car at a stop light. It's not realistic to stay 5 car lengths away from the car in front of you at a light...lots birds would be flipped at You!

Aside from muting the device itself, you can turn off selective features: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/speakplus/EN-US/GUID-EFD3414D-5D4A-4BB7-9496-ECAD2C4D994E.html

I don't see anything about just turning off the tone for that specific feature.

Since there is no graphics card, I'm curious to the max resolution. My Dell monitor is capable of 2560x1440. Will I need an add on card to get this resolution?

No - you don't need to add a graphics card. I'm running 2560x1440 resolution on my ASUS 2K monitor right now from this machine.

Make your home an internet haven with this versatile Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system. Three identical tri-band dual-stream AC2200 routers, each equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, deliver lightning-fast internet. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.
 

Will this system work in a metal building with walls, I have AT&T and currently use an M-Cell booster from them but it does not extend my service throughout the entire building.

Unfortunately, you never know for sure until you've tried it - as all structures and materials are a bit different. However, using a three node system like this starts you off with better odds that a single router! Give it a try and see how it works!

Three identical tri-band dual-stream AC2200 routers, each equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, deliver lightning-fast internet. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.
 

I currently have the latest AT&T Pace modem / router. Can the AT&T modem be placed into a bridge mode enabling just the modem function? From research, this is a very complicated procedure. I would prefer to return the rental AT&T unit.

I would agree with your second statement - and would always recommend that people purchase their own dedicated modem (cable or DSL) and then use a separate dedicated router configuration. You have more control that way - can keep your devices firmware updated regularily, and usually have better equipment!

The advertising states that Velop works with Alexa but I can find no information on how to set this up. Help?

Here's the link to enable the Linksys skills for Alexa. They're not in the Alexa app yet.
