This is another high-quality laptop from Lenovo. This newest iteration of the Yoga would be a great addition for almost anybody, including students, professionals, and even casual users. The laptop has a slim, minimal design and feels very light at just under three pounds. The screen has a very thin bezel area but does have an area for holding the Yoga while configured in tablet mode. The screen is full HD (1920x1080) and looks excellent in all of the various configurations. I did feel that the default brightness was not particularly bright in well-lit areas, which made me turn it up to 100% but at the expense of some battery life. The Yoga includes a Windows Ink stylus which is excellent for users that need to quickly take down some notes or use drawing applications. The stylus is housed in a built-in area in the back. This can be a little frustrating when trying to get the stylus out, as it makes it hard to get the stylus out in some laptop configurations and is located in a location where accidentally hitting the power button is a real possibility. I want to take moment to talk about the new hinge style because it is innovative and useful. The hinge is completely flexible and strong, as you would expect for a laptop that allows multiple configurations, but the fantastic part is the Dolby speakers that are built-in to the hinge. They sound amazing, not just for laptop speakers but for any speakers. Because the speakers are in the hinge, they will direct sound in the correct direction aiming at you no matter which configuration the laptop is using. I don't know if there are other Yoga-type laptops using this feature currently or not, as I have not seen it before, but I expect this feature to become standard because of the usefulness. The keyboard is backlit and felt good on my fingertips, and the touchpad worked well with accuracy. Battery life depends on how you are using the Yoga. With light use, I was able to get over ten hours on one charge. If you are using applications that are more processor-heavy, you are looking at about three hours. When the battery is very low it takes about two hours to fully charge. The Yoga includes some nice security features, such as a biometric fingerprint sensor that works better than many I have seen on other laptops and Windows Hello capability using the webcam. There is not a SD Card slot. As is common with these light, sleek laptops, there are not many ports: two USB C Thunderbolt 3 ports and one full-size USB 3.1 A port. Charging utilizes one of the USB C ports, so if you use other peripherals that require power or connections a USB hub is going to be a necessity for you. There is not a HDMI port. The Yoga comes with Windows 10 and some useful software that comes with Windows. Some other specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7 Quad Core 1.99 Ghz 8th Generation
Storage: 256GB SSD
Memory: 12GB RAM
Built-in Bluetooth and WiFi (2.4 and 5 Ghz)
Overall I found the C930 Yoga to be a very nice, premium, multi-function laptop that will be an excellent laptop for almost any use. It feels like it is built with quality, looks good, sounds really good, and can be taken any place you need to take it for use for hours.

I liked this razor right out of the box. It has a sleet, modern look with a premium feel. It feels ergonomically pleasing in the hand and has a nice heft to it. The razor has a digital LCD readout for battery level and other details. It has a very quiet motor but it certainly isn't weak. It has three levels of shaving intensity and I never felt the need to go beyond the lower two power levels. It has Nonotech precision blades which give a great shave. I used the product on day-to-day shaves, and once with three-day growth. The shaves were the same, with no tugging or pulling. The shaves around the curves in my face were very close and the trimming attachment worked well with my beard. Cleaning is quick and easy, and the shaved hairs came off very quickly. It charged in just under an hour. It comes with instructions, charger, a trimming attachment to shape sideburns and beards, and a hard shell travel case with zipper. I have had electric razors in the past and did not particularly care for them. This electric razor has changed my mind, and I would recommend this premium product for all men, even those used to straight razor shaves.

I have enjoyed the sound performance of this excellent Samsung soundbar. I have a large TV that sits against a wall facing a large open room, and I find the sound quality for that setup to be amazing. To begin, it looks very nice. It feels very sturdy and has a fairly simply design. The unit has a black finish with brushed metal edges and rear. I have it sitting underneath my 65" TV, but I appreciated that it came with a wall bracket and associated parts for other setup options. It has some weight to it, but then again it has 13 drivers forming 7 speakers: 3 front, 2 wide, 2 upwards. The LED display on the front is located to the right of the soundbar, and shows all the usual data. The soundbar uses touch-sensitive buttons to control power, volume, and inputs. The remote feels very normal. The connection side of the soundbar is on the bottom, and includes 2 HDMI inputs,1 HDMI ARC output, optical input, USB port, the power connector, WiFi setup button, and the button for subwoofer pairing. All HDMI connections support 4K at 60p, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 3D, and HDCP 2.2. WiFi and Bluetooth are built-in to the soundbar; WiFi is controlled by the Samsung SmartThings app and bluetooth pairing was easy. In my experience, the subwoofer paired automatically and I had no issues with the pairing being dropped. Also, the subwoofer has an 8-inch driver on the side. The soundbar is tuned by Harman Kardon and supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Digital Sound, and DTS-HD Master Audio. The soundbar speakers are supplied with 372W of power and provide frequencies from 34Hz to 17kHz. There are 3 sound modes: Standard, Surround Sound Expansion, and Smart. I always used Smart and thought everything sounded great. Yes, the soundbar will work with Alexa. Setup was very quick and simple, compared to other speakers. There are no microphone towers or anything complex for setup. I was quickly able to get to the enjoyment of listening to the sound coming out of this unit. Like I said, I have never heard better sound given the setup of the TV and soundbar within the room. There was a solid wall of sound that filled the room with complete range, and that applied to both TV, Blu-Rays, and music. Given the formats that this soundbar supports, the number of drivers and speakers, and the ease of use, I don't see much competition at this price point for a 5.1.2 system. I feel that this is simply an excellent sound bar.

I believe this package contains a very nice speaker package for the yard or garage, but keep in mind that you will need stereo wire. This is not a wireless speaker system. The package includes two Sonance Mag 06 outdoor speakers (wired), a Sonos Connect amp, and an iPort xPress remote keypad/controller. The two Sonance speakers are weatherproof and fairly large. Mounting them was fairly easy with the included mounting braces, but consult a help video if you are new to mounting speakers as there are some choices to be made on height and whether to mount horizontally or vertically depending on how you might want to move and adjust the speakers. Again, these will require stereo wire. I used 10 gauge wire and that worked well. The Sonos Connect amp was easy to setup and comes ready to stream from your favorite service. It basically works as a receiver for the system but you could integrate an existing receiver that you may have into the system, too. The amp is not weatherproof. The whole system produces high-quality sound at a nice volume that will fill a yard or garage. The only negative aspect of the system for me is the iPort xPress keypad. That is because it only works with iOS devices, and not Android. I only have Android devices so I'm hoping that the app is released for Android so that I can utilize it. If you are an Apple person, this won't apply to you. Otherwise, you can utilize the buttons on the amp to control the syste. Overall, I am very pleased with this system based on the items that it includes, the ease of setup, and the sound it produces. Just keep in mind that you will need stereo wire, and an Apple device to take full advantage of the keypad controller.

In my opinion, this unit is a solid choice for a PC headset for any purpose. I got these more for work, rather than playing games, and I have been very happy with the performance. The headset is comfortable on my head all day, and since moving to these from my previous headsets I have received compliments on the voice quality. The long battery life means I don't have to manage charging through the day, and I specifically got them for the wireless range (much better than bluetooth). I also like that when I move the microphone up it mutes my audio, and it also makes an "beep" to know I'm muted. They are easy to connect to the dongle and will tell you how much charge that remains. I would recommend these for anybody!

Sleep better. Cover unwanted noise with soothing sounds. Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™ are uniquely designed for sleep. They don’t stream music or have acoustic noise cancellation. Instead, these tiny, wireless earbuds use pre-loaded, soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noises, so you can get to sleep — and stay asleep. Plus, unlike traditional earplugs, they’re super comfortable and made to stay in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. 1. Choose your sound, 2. Set an alarm, 3. Fall asleep without unwanted noise.

This is an excellent device for what it does. The price tag might seem high from an outside perspective, but for some it will be very appropriate for a good night sleep. For me, these earbuds worked better than any white noise machine or other earbuds when it came down to drowning out night noises and helping me sleep. It is important to note that these earbuds do not play your own music, just to be clear. It comes loaded with 10 different sounds or tones that you can cycle through and select, such as stream, waterfall, wind through leaves, etc. I found the sounds to be high quality, with different pitches and without noticeable loops. The earbuds are controlled solely by an app that I felt was very clear and easy to use. I appreciated the alarm feature for the earbuds via the app, too. Since I imagine most people will use these night and thus will be using the app at night, too, it was important to make it easy for a groggy person to operate and Bose succeeded. I will note that if you have a sleeping partner that sleeps lightly, they could find it annoying when you turn on your phone in the dark to operate the app. There is simply no other way to control the sound options or volume of the earbuds. The earbuds fit very nicely in my ears. They are quite small and felt soft, but also stayed in my ear for as long as I wanted without falling out or becoming uncomfortable. It comes with three different earbud sizes, and the app helps you determine which size should provide the best experience. I will note that there can be a noise from the movement of the hard plastic on the outside of the earbud as it moves against a pillow case. It isn't outrageous but I did notice it. It also comes with a very nice quality case, as expected from a Bose product. The case made the earbuds easy to charge, and the case was easy to use and operate in the dark. The only issue I had with this product was that they don't shut off automatically, which would have been a nice feature. For example, if you take the earbuds out and place them in the case, they will continue to play all night long or until you turn them off manually via the app. This was more of an annoyance than a deal breaker for me, but I wish that at the very least there was a manual on/off button on the earbuds themselves just to alleviate needing to open the app one more time. Overall, I feel that my sleep has improved noticeably using these earbuds. They don't block out everything, as they are just earbuds after all. But it is hard to beat the combination of performance and comfort. Just be aware of what this product does precisely, and know that you'll need to use the app to control everything. I have really enjoyed using these earbuds and I look forward to better sleep!

Take a journey in Full HD with this Acer gaming monitor. Its FreeSync technology works with your graphics card to eliminate visual artifacts and minimize stuttering for a flicker-free experience. The 75Hz refresh rate of this 24.5-inch Acer gaming monitor delivers smooth scenes that keep you immersed in your adventure.

I found the ACER XF251Q Gaming Monitor to be a good value for the cost. It may not have all of the inputs and options of more expensive monitors, but it is better than average and comes at a very competitive price. First, it looks very nice coming out of the box. The bezel is very narrow on 3 sides of the sides, with an average bezel along the bottom. The stand has 4 legs, with 2 of the legs being parallel to the bottom of the bottom and the other 2 legs sweeping slightly backwards. The monitor is VESA mountable, if desired. The inputs are VGA and HDMI, and it was very easy to hook up. It was nice that it came with both a VGA and HDMI cables. It does support AMD Freesync through the HDMI input. Gaming looked very good on the 24.5 inch LED FHD (1920 x 1080) screen, as long as your viewing angle is fairly straight on. The response time is listed as 1ms with a refresh rate of 75mhz, and I did not experience any ghosting or flickering. Brightness is listed as 250 nits with a contrast ratio of 100,000,000:1. The viewing angle is listed as 170 degrees horizontally and 160 degrees vertically. Personally, I found that to be just a little generous with viewing decreasing noticeably as I sat to the side. That said, I do almost all of my gaming by myself, sitting right in front of the monitor, so this was not an issue for me. The monitor does have 2 speakers which I found to be about average for small monitor speakers, and I was pleased to find that the monitor includes a jack for headphones. You can find gaming monitors with UHD capability, more input varieties, and that are more friendly for wide viewing angles. But for the price of this monitor, with the features that it has, I believe this to be a very good FHD gaming monitor that will be excellent for a small to middle-budget gaming setup.

Clean your home with voice command or app-based programs by using this Samsung robot vacuum. Its digital camera and nine sensors let it find its way around, avoiding obstacles and mapping the most efficient path through your home. Wi-Fi connects this powerful Samsung robot vacuum to your smart home systems.
Posted by: Robs

This Samsung robotic vacuum is average in my opinion. It has good features, but they are negated by bad features. This is the second best robot vacuum in my home, behind an older model. This unit comes with a remote control which was interesting and useful. I liked having the remote to control and program the vacuum. Most vacuums these days are controlled purely by apps or Alexa commands. I found that it helped me to get the vacuum going very quickly, too. Another good feature is the suction power. There are three different levels of suction that can be chosen, and the more suction you select the more battery is used. On the highest suction level, I only got a 30 minute cleaning before it needed to charge again. But that could be useful in certain situations, like needing to get a room done quickly. On the middle suction level, the charge lasted about an hour, and on the lowest suction level the charge lasted for a little over an hour and a half. The suction worked well on carpets and hardwoods. We have a dog that leaves a good amount of hair behind, and the hair pickup of this unit is substantial. But, that is balanced by a small and hard to operate dirt tray. I am used to emptying the dirt tray just a few times on my other vacuum for the entire house. With this unit, I had to empty the tray a couple times just for one room. It adds up to a lot of time spent emptying the tray. This vacuum spends much of the time wandering around and not following any discernible pattern. It is supposed to have enhanced pathfinding, but I did not see it in action. The vacuum became stuck between chair legs and couch legs for long stretches of time. The app is supposed to have a map that shows the cleaning path that the vacuum took but what I saw didn't make sense so it wasn't useful. It seemed to even have issues finding the base to charge. From past experience, I know that sometimes the vacuum needs to be fairly close to the base to pick up the homing signal, but it was only finding the base about 75% of the time. This unit does charge fairly quickly so for an entire house there is quite a lot of the vacuum traveling back and forth to charge and then operate. But most of these trips should be unnecessary if the vacuum was more efficient with pathfinding. I am not sure this will ever be our primary vacuum, even with the great suction. But, I could see it being handy if you lived in a home with a medium-small to small footprint and had very few obstacles to avoid.

Notice every detail with this 55-inch VIZIO 4K smart TV. Dolby Vision HDR provides vibrant color and contrast and 56 local dimming zones produce the deepest blacks, while content looks sharp and lifelike thanks to the 4K HDR technology. This 55-inch VIZIO 4K smart TV lets you access top streaming apps with built-in Google Chromecast.

This latest 4k TV model from Vizio is pretty amazing. I have watched cable TV, played HDR-enabled games via my PS4 Pro, and streamed 4k content via the YouTube app. Everything looks amazing and I could not be more happy with this item. Let me start with the design, which looks very nice and modern. This unit has no bezel on three of the sides and has a silver metallic bezel along the bottom. It stands via two silver metallic V-shaped legs. I found the TV to be very stable sitting on those legs on top of my TV cabinet. This TV has five HDMI ports: 3 along the back and 2 on the side. Not only is that an excellent number of HDMI inputs, but each of the HDMI inputs supports 2.0a/HDCP 2.2 so that it doesn't matter which input you use to plug in your 4k device. There is one ARC-enabled HDMI input which has worked flawlessly. The included remote functions well and I would say it is typical in quality and features for a Smart TV remote. I also controlled the unit by downloading the Vizio SmartCast app. The app was easy to set up and made casting my phone quick and easy. Next, I will discuss the functionality of the TV. No matter what the source, the image on the screen looked amazing. This TV supports the newest HDR formats: HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG. This TV is going to have an excellent image for a long time to come. I have the 55” model and so it comes with 56 local dimming zones. The contrast between the light and dark parts of a screen image were displayed very well. I saw no light bleeding from the edges, and I observed minimal blooming around brighter parts of the image. For this review, I used all of the factory-set picture options to see how they worked. I must say that they are very useful, very handy, and improved what I was watching. Vivid was extremely powerful (1000 nits I believe) and would work very well in a super-bright room. The two picture modes I used the most were Calibrated and Calibrated-dark. During the day, Calibrated was perfect. It was a little less dark than Vivid but still bright enough to make the image clear in moderate sunlight. Once the sun set, I used Calibrated-dark. There is a Gaming picture mode which changes all the appropriate TV settings to minimize input lag but keep the games looking great. I use a PS4 Pro for my gaming, and all of the games looked so good that I found myself going through my library to find old games I had not played in a long time just to see how good they looked on this TV. I did use a soundbar hooked into the TV via the ARC HDMI input, and that worked well. However, I did listen to the TV speakers for a bit, too. I felt they were reasonably good for TV speakers. TV speakers are rarely going to be great, so I recommend at least a soundbar for any modern TV. I just can't say enough good things about my experience with this TV. Everything has worked well, has been easy and intuitive to use, and it just produces an amazing image from every device I have used on it. I highly recommend this TV for all users, for all purposes.

Best cup of coffee made at home
on May 8, 2018
Posted by: Robs
from Indianapolis
The Breville Precision Brewer is the best coffee maker that my house has ever used. When set to the Gold Cup brewing mode, the coffee it produces is on par with the best coffee you would get at a high-end coffee shop. There were many features of this coffee maker that I liked. This unit has a stainless steel finish and looks good enough to leave out on the kitchen counter. It has a 3 foot cord which is an average length. The thermal carafe also has a stainless steel finish and works incredibly well at keep coffee hot. For example, I made coffee in the morning and it was still quite warm many hours later. Also, I have to say that the carafe pours very well and allows every last bit to be poured out which was a pleasant surprise compared to some older coffee makers I have used. This coffee maker has 6 brewing modes: Gold Cup, Fast, Strong Brew, Ice Coffee, Cold Brew, and My Brew. The last mode, My Brew, allows customization of bloom time, brew temperature, and flow rate to make your brew to your exact specifications. With the other modes, the unit will automatically adjust the water temperature and brew time to make the perfect cup of coffee. It can brew a single cup or up to 12 cups if you like. I liked that the brew time was fast even when making 12 cups. It also has an alarm mode that you can set up so that the coffee maker has finished making your exact choice of brew at a specific time, which is very handy in the morning. If all of these features sound complex to someone new to coffee makers, I must say that I found all of the settings to be very intuitive and logical. You aren't going to need to stand in your kitchen with the user manual for 30 minutes to make your coffee. There are some issues to be aware of with this coffee maker, too. There is no built-in coffee grinder to make the exact right amount coffee grinds for your selection, so you will end up with unused grinds at the end. This isn't a big deal to me because I found that I learned the right amount the more I used the maker. This also means that when you are making coffee, the operation will take up some space in your kitchen with both the coffee maker and a grinder out on the counter. It could be an issue in a kitchen with not much counter space. That said, this coffee maker has made the best coffee I have had at home, makes it quickly, makes it to my specifications, and keeps it warm for quite awhile. I would recommend it for any serious coffee family or even small business.

Maintain a comfortable home environment with this Kyvol HD3 humidifier, which humidifies your home and soothes dry skin and reduces coughing, congestion and other symptoms by keeping proper air humidity at around 45% to 60%. The ultra-quiet ultrasonic feature ensures better sleep quality and 75 hours super long-lasting runtime to help indoor plants grow healthier, especially during dry winter season.
Where is the opening to fill the tank? Top, back, bottom? Wondering the ease of filling it. Thanks
To fill the tank, you remove the tank from the base and turn the tank upside-down as the opening is on the bottom underneath a screw cap. I have had humidifiers where that is a pain because of the weight when the tank is filled and because fitting it back on the base was clumsy. With this tank only holding about 1.1 gallons, the weight was fine. No problems flipping it when full and then situating it on the base.

Does this not have a chat mixer on it?
In the iCue software that controls the ARGB and includes an equalizer with presets, there is a mode that prioritizes chat. However, there is no chat mix button or toggle on the headset itself.

Can sleep buds 2 connect blue tooth to different apps on my phone?
No. Bose made the decision that the Sleepbuds will only connect via bluetooth to the Bose Sleep app which will only play from a selection of sounds. These are not for listening to music, answering calls, or for audiobooks. The sole intent is to help people fall asleep.

I have the original Bose - Sleepbuds....are these the same thing or improved in some way?
I think they are improved. The shape fit better in my ear and there was less noise from the sleepbuds sliding on the pillowcase or turning my head. I also think the sound technology has improved with the sounds available on the Bose Sleep app. I saw improved sleep results in both the time it took me to fall asleep and the quality of my sleep.

If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night
Yes, there is an alarm feature as part of the Bose Sleep app that connects with the sleepbuds. The interesting part is that because the sleepbuds have their own memory, and the alarm you would set would be uploaded to the sleepbuds, the alarm will actually work even if your mobile device runs out of battery.

Better sound begins with better silence. That’s why Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are engineered with the world-class noise cancelling and high-fidelity audio. Microphones inside and outside the earphones sense noise and react instantaneously to cancel the signal. Get rid of disruptions so you can turn up the music on your wireless earbuds and amplify whatever you’re most passionate about — from hiking or circuit training to coding or baking. And when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, minimize noise cancelling with a quick double tap, so you can walk down a busy street or listen for your boarding announcement. StayHear Max tips provide extra comfort and stability for an even better experience. Rule the Quiet with Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and get an exhilarating experience that’s tough to find in any other Bluetooth earbuds. The Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds are available in Triple Black, Soapstone and limited-edition Sandstone or Stone Blue.
Are these noise canceling on the "Microphone" side as well? I'm often in Coffee shops, with a lot of ambient noise, and I'd like to find something that reduces background noise for the listeners on the other side.
Yes, it blocks out all noise but your voice. I felt like they did a very good job with that.

Are you able to run with the QuietComfort Earbuds? Do they stay in your ear while you go on runs?
Yes, they'll stay in your ear. I think this version will stay in a runner's ear better than previous version thanks to their new design. They aren't as small as workout-specific earbuds, but they felt nice. And they are meant for all day wear.
