I am a long-time fan of LG products, especially TVs and home appliances, so I had high expectations of the quality of these Bluetooth ear buds. Overall, my expectations were met.
The buds come in a compact case that also serves as the charger. Keep the case charged, and it will do the same for the buds. Even better, charging is fast, so even if not fully charged, the buds will play for a very reasonable time. LG says 5 minutes will get you an hour. A special note about the case: it is reported to have a disinfectant function to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria on the buds. These days, that is a very suitable function to have. No way for me to really test it, but I trust LG.
For me, the fit was great right out of the box. However, there are other sized gel covers provided. They are so comfortable that, if I were not hearing music, I would forget I had them in my ears. And the sound quality and clarity are super: both bass and treble. Though I do not usually use buds to make/take calls, these have dual microphones in each to provide clarity of calls.
Bluetooth connecting your charged buds to a source is very quick and easy. They have almost instantly paired with Alexa, as well as my mobile phone. So long as you do not go out of Bluetooth range, of course, there is no linkage quality lost by moving around.
All functions for volume up/down, pause/restart, and play next are performed with taps on the buds. Not at all as complicated as I have found other brands to be.
Another great product by LG that I can certainly recommend to anyone.

Today, lots of people rely on their smart phones to shoot photos and video. That is fine; however, if you want 4K quality, as well as shooting and editing options, the Sony FDR-AX43 is a great choice.
If you are not highly skilled in setting up the finer points of shooting photos or 16:9 videos, the AX43’s automatic settings do the hard work for you. Pretty much, you only need to point and shoot. Getting started is easy. Charge/install the battery, insert a memory card (not included), open the 3” LCD display, and the camera turns on and is ready to shoot photos and/or shoot videos. “And/or” because you can capture a still shot (5540 x3056 resolution) amidst shooting video. No worries.
Features of the AX43 include:
• Zeiss 4K zoom lens (20X optical; 205x digital); auto-focus.
• Gimble stabilizer for stabilizing shooting. This really helps If, like me, you tend to move when shooting.
• Particularly good audio recording.
• Dual video recording, which allows you to shoot an AVCHD file e simultaneously with an MP4 file.
• Movie Maker function to assist in producing short movies without postproduction editing.
• The battery, though is takes quite a while for a full charge, provides power for about 2.5 to 3.0 hours.
• Wi-Fi connectability
• And lots more…

Getting used to operating the camera properly and smoothly takes a few times of usage; but, once done, it is pretty much easy to use. As to comfort of use, my thing was getting accustomed to the position of the battery. Its location on the rear seemed awkward and unbalanced; however, the more I used it, the less the problem.
This is a genuinely nice vidcam, packed with lots of genuinely nice features. It does not come cheap, but you get a lot of quality for your money. Another great product from Sony.

The Hoover ONEPWR Dual Bay Charger makes whole-home cleaning with the ONEPWR™ System easier than ever. Tuck it away in a laundry room or pantry to charge two batteries sequentially, bringing the first battery docked to a full charge before charging the second battery. Perfect for homes with multiple tools or batteries, it charges and stores any two ONEPWR™ batteries so you’re always ready to tackle every mess with a full charge.

If you have or expect to have multiple Hoover ONEPWR products, this is the tool for you. The charger is compatible with them all. It’s a two-bay charging unit to help ensure you always have a charged battery for continuous run time. Because the ONEPWR batteries are so easy to change out, it only takes a few moments. Charging time is comparably quick!
The charger itself is small in size and can be wall-mounted, if you wish. Each bay has LED indicator lights to show charging status. Be aware, however, that the bays charge sequentially, not at the same time. With several ONEPWR devices, this could be very helpful. With one device, maybe not so much; because if it has two batteries, you only use one at the time, while the other is in the charger. Either way, Hoover’s ONEPWR concept is such a great idea, compared to brands whose individual products have a different charger for each product. Too many chargers to keep up with sometimes!
Thank you Hoover.

Capture up to 99 percent of dust particles without losing suction power using this Hoover ONEPWR Blade+ cordless vacuum. The multi-surface brush offers optimal cleaning performance on carpets and hard floors, while the removable cup makes emptying the accumulated dirt hassle-free. This Hoover ONEPWR Blade+ cordless vacuum features a wireless design with a rechargeable battery, letting you clean hard-to-reach corners easily.

Right out of the box, I was liking the look and feel of the Hoover Blade+. Assembly is easy, the array of cleaning attachments is impressive, and there are two batteries. Having experience with other cordless vacuums, installing/uninstalling a battery the Blade+ is the easiest of all. Also, the assembled device is not heavy, so it’s easy to lift/carry/use.
Anxious to see if actual operation would be as easy as getting it set up, I popped in a battery and turned it on. Trying it on hard flooring is like driving a sports car, the vac takes off as if it were self-propelled. Maneuverability is like having power steering. It’s so responsive, you can get the cleaning head moving in almost any direction with just using wrist action. First impression was “wow.”
Sold on hard floor cleaning, I tried it on carpet; and liking the vac became loving. Cleaning and “combing” of the carpet is great. I have an older vac that does a good job, but the Hoover is taking over. Regardless of the great job it does on open floors, one of the best features is the cleaning head and overall product design allows you to clean under furniture. Got dust bunnies under the bed, no worries. The Blade can get under there and suck them up!
The one thing I don’t like is the Blade doesn’t fold or stand on its own for storage. That said, Hoover does include a wall mount for those who might want to hang it. In any event, that does not take away anything from the vac’s great performance.

Listen to your favorite albums and audiobooks on the go with this Memorex portable CD player. The 40-second anti-skip protection function for CDs ensures smooth, uninterrupted listening, while the dynamic bass boost system delivers rich sound. This Bluetooth Memorex portable CD player features an LCD screen and digital control buttons for conveniently choosing tracks and adjusting volume.

For those of you in a certain age group, as I am, this CD player is a “Back to the Future” experience. The difference between then and now is greatly improved operation and advanced technology, providing a much better listening experience. What a great idea from Memorex, an entity of a certain age itself.
This CD player is a neat and fun device. Set up is easy. Oh, wait, other than installing the included batteries, there’s no set up needed. Simply insert a CD, plug in the earbuds, put them in your ears, push the play button, and enjoy the music.
Features:
• Easy to read LCD screen for monitoring play
• Anti-skip feature that works very well. Short of dropping the player on the floor, I jostled it enough for it to have had a chance to skip.
• Stereo earbuds provide decent sound, though not quite like a quality external speaker will.
• Bluetooth for quick and easy connection to an external speaker.
• DBBS kicks up the bass, if you wish. (Does not operate when using external speaker, but I don’t find that to be a problem.)
• Plays CD, CD-R, and MP3 CDs.
• Multiple playback modes.

This player is fun, and the price won’t break the bank to have that fun. Plus, you can pretty much take it anywhere you want to have music. Yes, it’s only one CD at a time; but most CDs provide about an hour (+ or -) of music, so no big deal.
With this player from Memorex, retro rules!

A Bit of a Disappointment
on March 28, 2020
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
Overall, the M238 is very good multi-use device. However, there are some issues that prevent it from being great.
PROs:
* Set up is very easy. Just follow the onscreen instructions, and it’s ready in minutes.
* The primary paper dispenser (designated #2) is easy to access and offers a variety of paper size options.
* Printing a document is quiet and very fast, be it color or b&w, including two-sided printing.
* Scan function is also quiet, fast, and produces good quality reproduction.
* Touchscreen control panel is large enough for easy reading.
* The operational software HPSmart is easy to use.
* Unless you are a high demand user, the toner cartridges should last quite a while. That’s a good thing, because replacements are expensive.
CONs:
*There is second paper dispenser (designated#1), and you must look for it, because there is no diagram of functional areas. The numbers embossed on the printer front give a clue that there should be another dispenser. When it’s found, DO NOT try to remove it for loading it, as it is designed for hand feeding individual sheets. Again, there is no documentation regarding its functionality; so, being used to multi-sheet loading, I removed. By removing it, I learned the composition is very thin plastic and is a chore to get reinserted. I was afraid it would break before I got it back. So, you can insert single paper sheets or single photo sheets, which is not ok if you need to print more than one or two items.
* While the M238 duplex prints, it does NOT duplex scan. So, using the document feeder for scanning two-sided documents requires manual input, essentially doubling scanning time. If you have a large multipage document, you cannot load and go. You must turn over the document, and then send it back through. That can be tedious, even more so than the single sheet printer feed.
* Photo printing is awful. Colors are washed out, even on high gloss paper, and the printed picture looks like a photo from many years ago that was exposed to light. Also, when a picture is printed, it exits into an area inside the printer. To retrieve it, you must lean over if sitting in a chair or standing, stick your hand inside an open area recessed in the printer, and then pull out the picture. That wouldn’t be so bad if you received a proper print.
* For the cost of the printer, one would expect it would not lack any functionality and that ALL work product would be excellent.
BOTTOM LINE:
If you don’t care about quality photo printing, this is an excellent printer. If you don’t mind manually scanning two-sided documents, this is an excellent scanner. However, without those caveats being disclosed, I would not recommend it to a friend.

This H&R Block Deluxe + State Tax software is designed for people who want to be in control of their tax preparation experience and feel empowered by completing their own return. It is a perfect solution for homeowners, investors, or both who want to get a big refund.

Having used e-filing for years from other sources, I was interested in trying HRB software and with high expectations. From my experience, I was expecting the software program to be easy to use, be somewhat intuitive, and guide me easily throughout the process.
Initial set up of my profile was no problem, and entry of basic income sources was easy. However, when it came to 1099 Misc and 1099 Div from a foreign investment, it was a much different story. For an answer to my 1009 Misc issue, I called the help number. The person I reached could not answer the question, and he gave me the telephone number of a local HRB office. A call there easily got me exactly what I needed. Kudos on customer service.
The foreign investment issue got me in a loop that took some work to get out of. Those items would have only been a minor annoyance, if I had not been able to easily enter those items in previous years. Also, one of my entries generated a pop-up suggesting a form (for a price) not included in the software program. I passed that by. Eventually, after much frustration, I reached the end.
Because of this experience and curiosity, I tried another free program to compare process and return dollars expected. Following the clear guide, all my information was easily entered, my return dollars were a small amount higher, and both Federal and State e-filing were free.From start to finish (e-filing included) in well under an hour.
If you only have basic income/deduction items for your tax filings, this HRB package is fine. However, I would not recommend it otherwise.

Logitech has a winner
on January 25, 2020
Posted by: Cipher469
from Spanish Fort, AL
I have owned Logitech wireless keyboards and mice for quite a few years. I changed to another brand about a 6 months ago, because I needed something more ergonomic due to hand issues. I have been satisfied with that, but when Logitech came out with the K860, I had to try it out. I’m glad I did.
The split keyboard takes a bit of getting use to; however, now that I have a comfortable feel for it, I don’t see how I could ever go back to the plain rectangular style. Also, assisting with the comfort of the K860 is a 2-layer foam wrist pad that provides great service to the wrist and the “heel” of the hand. But wait, there’s more: the keyboard has a lift feature that goes beyond the norm. There are 3 levels of angle adjustment providing more personalization than the typical 2 levels. I tried all 3 levels until I found the midlevel was best for me. I like the ergonomics and adjustment opportunities, because I can use the keyboard longer during a writing session, like this review for instance, without my hands hurting.
Comfort is not the only thing to like about the K860. Some of the other notable pluses are:
• Very easy set up.
• Full-size keyboard with number pad.
• Connectivity is not only by 2.4GHz USB receiver, there is also low energy Bluetooth.
• Wireless range projected up to 33 feet.
• Up to 3 devices can be wirelessly connected to the keyboard. You can switch back and forth using clearly labeled and easily accessible keys.
• Caps Lock key is lighted, something that has disappeared on many keyboards today.
• A Screen Print that actually does what the name implies! Not only does it print/save the screen to a document, a pop up allows immediate access to the printed item in One Drive. Love it!
• On/off power switch.
• Batteries (2 AAA) are projected to last up to 2 years, due to low energy demands.
• Lots of personalization options.
• Very easy set up.
• Full-size keyboard with number pad.

The K860 is great, but it isn’t perfect: The Number Lock does NOT light up when on. So, a quick glance won’t do any good, creating the need to use the key to determine its status.
It is a bit disappointing that there is no “matching” mouse in the box, though it is reported to be compatible with Logitech Flow enabled mice. Even so, it doesn’t diminish the keyboard.
With the ERGO K860, Logitech has gotten me back as a user! I recommend it, especially if you have hand/wrist issues.

Dell has long been known for top-self computing products. They don’t come cheap, but you get a lot for the money. Dell’s new Inspiron 27 AIO upholds the Dell tradition.
With the AIO, there are only four items in the box: keyboard, mouse, monitor-CPU and power cord. Set up is easy and amazingly quick. In fact, the computer does most of the work. Also, it was a very nice surprise to discover all my document files were automatically loaded via Dropbox. So, in a very short time, pretty much all was ready to go.
While the AIO isn’t perfect, there’s a lot to like about it. Pros and cons include the following:
Keyboard: Right out of the box, it looks a bit cheesy. It’s very small in size, so it doesn’t take up much desk space. Caps Lock has an on light, but it is not on the Caps key. It’s located over the numeric pad next to the Num Lock light. Being an old-fashioned rectangle, it is not ergonomic and can become uncomfortable with extended use. The Num Lock light goes off a few seconds after activation, but the functionality continues. Perhaps, that is to reduce battery usage in some small way. There is an on/off switch on the underside of the keyboard, which is a nice feature for power saving when not in use.
Mouse: The mouse is quick and more comfortable to use than the keyboard. It’s fits nicely into the hand and is easy to move on the mouse pad. It also has an on/off power switch. For me, my hand aches with usage over an extended period. Fortunately, I already have a highly ergonomic mouse and keyboard that I can use.
Monitor-CPU: This is where the AIO shines! As already mentioned, the quick easy set up. The monitor’s 27-inch full HD touch screen produces excellent viewing, and only a light touch is needed for operation. Pen input is also available. In a word, it’s great!
The 10th generation i7 processor combined with 12GB of RAM produces excellent processing power, even with multiple screens open. Add 512GB of storage, and you’re riding a stallion. There’s also Bluetooth 5.0 and facial recognition login access via the pop-up camera.

Via Wi-Fi, the AIO connected very quickly with my printer, another plus.
The only quarrel I have is that the multiple USB/HDI/etc. slots are located on the rear of the monitor, making them difficult to get to without having to turn the heavy monitor/CPU around each time you want to plug/unplug. To minimize that annoyance, I am using a plug-in device with multiple slots that can be utilized form the front. Easy resolution.
Minor issues aside, I love the AIO and certainly would recommend it to a friend.

I was never an electric razor fan until I discovered the wet/dry Philips Norelco Saver S6880 some time ago. Now, there is the 3500, which brings some very nice new features into play.
At first, the 3500 felt a little heavy, but after using it a couple of times, that feeling went away. The shaving heads are reduced in size without losing effectiveness. Shaving wet or dry, I experienced no pinching or nicking of the skin. Overall, performance and comfort are very good. As to operating time, you can always count on Philips Norelco’s batteries. Start with a full charge, and you can shave for many days without even thinking about battery use. When you do, there’s a readout on the handle.
Now, aside from performance, two new features on the 3500 make for more efficiency and reduction of overall shaving time. To trim your sideburns, mustache, and/or sideburns, you do not have to remove the shaving heads and then install the trimmer head. The trimmer is built-in, and all you have to do is press a tab to open it and then press the trimmer head back to close it. The other timesaving feature is that you don’t have to remove the shaving heads to clean them. Like the trimmer, you just press a button and they pop up for cleaning. Because the razor is waterproof, you rinse the heads and leave them open to dry or use some other drying method that doesn’t endanger the heads.
Though I think my older S6880 has a slight edge in the shaving function, that does not keep me from feeling the 3500 is a winner.
Yes, I would recommend it to a friend.

Can this camera do motion tracking for People ONLY? And stay still for everything else? Or will it track every movement. I'd rather have it track people only instead of cars driving by etc.

What is the usb connector for?
If, instead of using the electrical plug for power, you want to plug into a power source with USB outlets, you will use it for the connection.

Shark AI Robot VACMOP combines powerful vacuum suction and hard floor wet mopping for a complete clean, all in one robot. Features include: Shark suction power, Sonic Mopping that delivers 100 scrubs per minute for stuck-on stains, and AI Laser Navigation for precision cleaning.
Is this product safe to use on laminate floors? My floors do not recommend steam mopping, not sure if this product uses steam. Also, if it does, is one of the vacuums safe for my floors? Thanks, WMC
No worries. No steam involved. Just water alone or water mixed with the provided cleaning fluid.
