Near Perfect; Great addition to any TV
on April 4, 2020
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
About 6 months ago, we removed the bulky 7.1 sounds system from our family room. (Because we put a Dolby Atmos system in the basement). So we have been living with TV Speaker sound, and it was just not good enough.
This Soundbar does the trick, PERFECTLY. With it's built in Subwoofers, it gives enough base and clarity in sound, that the TV speakers just didn't have.
First; it is smaller then most soundbars out there, width wise. Maybe a little taller in height, but not by much. Comes with VERY easy to follow instructions and template to mount it to a wall. Also it was designed with mounting flush to a wall in mind, and has deep pockets for all the wires to fit, so they are not crushed.
Second, it's LED indicators are small, not overly bright.. and after a while you just don't notice them any more.
Easy to use with it's companion remote, or smart phone app. change between it's internal inputs (HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth).
The sound is great, in the standard mode, watching TV programs and even some movies are just find. You can toggle on the VOICE clarity for those programs like the news or game shows, and turn on the simulated 3D for somewhat more of a movie field. I don't think I will use the 3D mode often, but will use the voice clarity.
The two nitpicks I have:
- The companion app does need some help with it User Interface. I am a tech guy and got throw a bit the way they worded the setup screens.
- There needs to be a way to 100% turn off Alexa, not just when the power is often. It is not that I am against Alexa (I think I have a dozen of them), it is because I paid this up with an Amazon Fire Cube, so I already have the functionality there.. and don't need another one in the same room. So I changed the Soundbar's wake up word to Echo, to avoid any conflicts.

So if you are looking for a smaller, and good Soundbar... You found it

Nomatic~s Carry-On Classic is a sleek black roller bag perfect for a 3-5 day getaway. Constructed of durable Makrolon polycarbonate, its outsides are strong. The internal luggage compartment has a 30L capacity and includes thoughtfully designed features to help organize packing. Internal side pockets help to organize cords, accessories, and other pieces you want to keep track of while packed.

This is a very SOLID piece of luggage. from the wheels up, this is a step up in quality over most in this category.
First, this is for the nomad. It's size, would make it difficult to carry more than one persons clothing for more than maybe a single night. I also pack relatively light for my trips, but this bag does fill up quickly.
I was able to comfortably pack enough for three days, but I didn't bring an extra pair of shoes or bulky clothing. I am not sure I could get more in there.
there are 2 main compartments (left and ride), and two zipper pouches, and then room in between the two seperators. A nice zipper enclosure keeps all your items on the left, and then a compression screen keeps them down on the right.
The handle is long and extends high enough for the vast majority of people. The full motion wheels make it easy to pull, and push in any direction as well. Comes with an integrated locking system that is TSA key ready. So even though this will typically be a carry-on, you are ready for those times the bins are full and have to check it in.
The hard shell casing, is hard... and is going to protect most items inside. Balanced design, that even a heavy loaded from portion isn't going to make it tip over in any direction.
The angled top, is going to ensure that it fits in the vast majority of modern aircraft top storage, with curved doors.
While I am not sure I would use this for a family vacation, where souvenirs are coming home, this is going to be a great back for the business trips, or the stay-cation with the spouse.

Some serious suckage here
on December 23, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this is great. Just great
Light and portable, and follows along like a puppy.
Simple to use with the slide on battery pack, and single switch. Once on, packs a serious amount of vacuum power.
We use it to clean our workshop after all the holiday craft making. Instead of lugging the big 4” hose around, this not-so little guy helps us clean up some of the hard to reach spots, or provides a quick reach option for some dust in groves
Only downsides: Doesn’t come with a bristle attachment, and it would be great to have a second battery ready to go

Expand your screen... with light
on December 5, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
We all know that a 4K picture is awesome.... Mix in some amazing sound, and that experience get's better. Now, you can get the rest of your environment to tie in, and bring it to another level.
This box will connect between your video source and your TV. VERY easy to connect and setup. It will act as a switcher device between multiple devices. I didn't specifically check that out, as I have an AV receiver that does it for me.
You can connect up to 10 Philips Hue lights... I only connected 3 (because that is all I have right now)... And you are off.
If you can picture watching Blue Planet... Your large amazing TV is showing the depth of the water, and now that water seems to expand the entire room, because all the lights change to shades of blue.
Playing some games on my XBOX, the room and experience just gets that much expansive.
While the power adapter is large, so you can connect other lights with one plug. I would recommend getting a 1ft extension "power strip" saver, because it is a little big.
Sometimes it can get a bit intense on the color changes (especially while playing games). Depending on your size or room, you may need to utilize more lights to get the full effect.
If you want to take your movie, tv, and game experience to another level. this box will help with that.

Good for a basic electric razor or 2nd travel one
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So having used Norelco shavers for a very long time, was looking to add this one for my travel bag.
The good: It can be used Wet or Dry, Completely cordless (when in use), so can be used in the shower as well as at the sink. Light weight, and had some power to it. Comes with a relatively small charger, and a carrying bag, and a solid cover for the blades.
The not-so-good: I found it to be a little loud while shaving, which when compared to my 9000 series shaver, was a little off-putting. It seemed to grab and cut a little more aggressive, but still provided a close shave with no skin issues.
Overall, it will do what I wanted it to do: Be that shaver for my travel kit, so I can leave the more frequently used (and more higher end) 9000 shaver at home.

Simple, Easy, and Powerful

So if you don't know of AVG as an Anti-virus program, let me fill you in. For the longest time AVG was the absolute BEST... FREE.... anti-virus that you could obtain. It also was pretty much the only anti-virus that was worth anything, on the MAC platform.
So if you want to try out AVG, go ahead... they readily give you the anti-virus piece for free. And once you see that, you will then really want to explore this Ultimate version.
First once you upgrade to the paid, ultimate version... you get access to the other security products.
Let's talk about the interface: Large, no tiny print, and very straight forward to understand. Simple, direct, and clear. Very little chance to mis-understand what it means, or what pressing a button will do.
now, I have not purposely tried to install a virus or Mal-ware on my computer while running this to see if it worked... I trust that it does because I still don't have one on there (verified by other programs that I trust).
The TUNE-UP add on is a great little tool, to help get rid of some of the bloat that ALL our computers get over time. Uninstall procedures of apps, don't always clean everything up. A small little utility you were trying, and foot... bogs down the system. Tune-Up will help you there.
My FAVORITE addition with Ultimate, is the VPN tool. I use this via my iPhone, in order to securely connect back to my region of choice. So if I am traveling for work, but want to appear to another application or device as being in my home area of Chicago, I can do that.
If I am on a public wifi, and want to obscure my connection in case someone is sniffing the connection, I can use this for secure banking or even simply email.
This Ultimate subscription, allows you to install it on 5 different computers and devices... so for most families this works great.

Fantastic; perfect for multiples

Light weight, clear as a bell, thin, just what a multitasker or power user needs
So this monitor fits the bill for just about everyone. It’s wide screen, yet practical size leaves you with a ton of options for use
A solo monitor, great crisp picture. Quick response will provide you the perfect HD quality picture for your desktop or added screen to laptop
I added it to my laptop, using a third party stand.. I am able to use it vertical so I can see longer documents and software code.
If you pair this with a two arm mount or even a four arm mount... you can have a very inexpensive elaborate display
The monitor is very light, vesa mount compatible. Long cord on the monitor, two hdmi and one vga connection, so a ton of option

it is sad to say, that in today's world... we can't be too safe.. cameras like this are a necessity.
This one will make a good first camera, or an extension to another system.
The setup is relatively easy, a little interesting at one point with the sound sendup, but other then that pretty straight forward.
One BIG mis on this camera, it runs on the 2.4ghz wifi network. it may require you to get another router, that can be placed closer to your camera to get solid connection. However, you do have an option to hard-wire the camera (ethernet cable). But it doesn't look like it support Power over ethernet (POE). So you would need to run two wires
One BIG gain on this camera, no service plan. The video is stored locally on an SD chip, but can be accessed via the internet.
Picture quality is pretty good, and should serve just about everyone's purpose.
General installation is easy shouldn't take much time or tools.
So for the price, you get great value with this camera, and some sanity and security

Very Solid, Easy to Use
on October 18, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So now a days, blenders are used for all sorts of things. Sauces, smoothies, mixed drinks, chopping, and so on.
This blender is smaller then most, which may work perfect for your works space. The larger pitcher, is made of very solid/thick glass. It is a little heavier then most blender pitchers because of that.
The top allows steam and heat to be released while blending, while keeping all the contents in... that is good when you are working with some warm/hot foods.
The base is a very bright brushed finish, looks really stylish on your counter. Very few buttons to figure out, makes it a piece of cake to work.
The BIG bonus is the very large smoothie cup. The same base fits in it, and gives a. BIG mixing surface to work with. Smoothies from fresh fruits, to power mixes... will work perfectly... and it is much larger then one of the other leading bands... So for that power work out, or the replacement lunch... this will work perfect. I would have liked it to come with two, but hopefully that will be an option to buy an extra.
So Pros: Blade is interchange able, relatively quiet to use, and easy to use. Big Smoothie Cup, steam vent
Con: The thick heavy glass, may pose a challenge for some.

can i use this remote only and not have to go to a different one?
Depends on what is your video source for this. We in fact use the Amazon Fire Cube's remote for all functionality, and the soundbar one just sits in the near by cabinet incase we need it

Description says it’s compatible with Windows. Is it Mac compatible ? Can’t see why it wouldn’t be. But since they don’t specify it, I would rather confirm it is before ordering
Yes it will work with a Mac. If you have an older Mac with an hdmi output, you won’t need anything. If your Mac only has usb-c outputs, you would need the matching dongle
