Great Cordless, multi functional vacuum cleaner
on February 25, 2018
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
This is a great multifunctional, cordless vacuum cleaner. I got about an hour cleaning time from the car. I used it in my house and car and it was much easier to use than a traditional vacuum cleaner. It worked great on my carpeted stairs, carpeted rooms, the crevice cleaner worked awesome. Changing between the different modes was a breeze.

Finally a Bluetooth 5.0 wireless earbud
on February 13, 2018
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
I really like the look of earbuds. This year's earbuds are smaller and do not stick out as much as last's years model. I had a great fit for the earbuds. The fit nice and tight and stayed in my ears well when I took a walk or rode my Air Assault bike which uses my arms too. The ear buds did get a little loose when I stared to sweat, so I am hoping that the Active helps with that. It does have an IP rating of 55 which is a nice piece of mind if it gets damp from light rain or sweat.
The case is nice, it acts as both a case and a charger. It is as easy as closing the case lid and the earbuds are lined up correctly for charging. I also found the case to be rather compact in size for its function.
Pairing these ear buds was one of the easiest ever. Right when I first take the earbuds out of the case, the earbuds are automatically placed in pairing mode. It had no problem pairing with my iPhone 8+ or my LG OLED.
Software is easy to use. It gives you the battery life of the earbuds. I like the HearThough function which allows ambient sounds to enter the earbud and then amplify the sound. It is awesome amplification and I no longer have to take off my earbuds to hear a conversation. The earbuds automatically pause when taken off and software for an equalizer so you can further adjust how you want to hear your music.
My favorite is that it is bluetooth 5.0. I get a good 10-15 feet more in a room and now I can go two rooms away and still be connected. There is no more having one earbud having to pair to the other earbud and loosing connection. You do not even have to have the phone on the same side as your master earbud because bluetooth 5.0 gets rid of the need of a master earbud. I even had great syncing when watching videos, NO MORE LATENCY.
I also liked how the control buttons were actual physical buttons on the outside.
Sound for me was great, but the noise from my bike did leak through. That is important for some people who want to also be able to hear those around them, especially if running. Volume at full blast didn't have your typical distortion and I found the sound to be well balanced.
I was very happy with battery life. I got six hours of play time when I left it on. The best part is that the case is rated for 10 extra charges.
If you are looking for a 5.0 bluetooth earbuds, that sound great and have great battery life, buy these earbuds.

Incredible oven for a small space
on December 28, 2017
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
Don't be put off with the site of this oven. It may look like an oversized toaster oven, but it is much more powerful and useful than a toaster oven. Set up was very easy. I just took it out of the box, put in the crumb tray and plugged it in. The directions do say to run the oven empty for 40 minutes in convection mode at 450 degrees to remove any residual protective substances.
The oven does come with a 13" pizza pan, two wire racks and a bake pan. Inside the oven there are 4 grooves inside so you can adjust how close you want your food to the heat. Once you turn on the oven you can see the eight functions the oven has: toast, bake, convection, broil/grill, defrost, pizza, cookies and keep warm. You just turn the bottom knob to choose a function. The middle knob for the temperature and the top knob to set the timer and start the cooking process. What I really like about the timer is that once it rings, the oven turns off which eases my mind worrying about my kids turning off the oven.
I am extremely impressed with how evenly the oven cooks food. With a toaster oven, your food, even toast, rarely cooks evenly. I was able to have pizza, chicken, grilled cheese and yes even frozen burritos cook evenly.
De'Longhi does offer a few recipes in the manual and more if you download the Recipe Book app. You can also use your own recipes and De'Longhi's manual guidelines for cooking various food items. For the ones I tested they were all very accurate. The only surprise is that the convection oven actually reduces the time needed to cook most of the food that I tried.
The oven is very quiet, especially when using the convection oven. The oven heats up very quickly, but I did find it warm to the touch when cooking at a high temperature for a long time. It isn't as fast as a microwave, but I find myself using this oven more to warm up left overs, especially pizza since it is no longer soggy after heating it up in a microwave.
If you are tight on space and need an oven, the De'Longhi Livenza Oven's power of a standard oven, ability to quickly heat up and about as big as a mid size microwave is a great oven for you.

Excellent lap top for the price
on December 7, 2017
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
I was worried that 8 GB and the AMD processor wasn't enough power. I am pleasantly surprised that it is more than enough for me. I basically use a laptop to surf the net, you tube, Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. My work place has switched us over to Google Docs, sheets, and their other Google suite apps and this computer handles all of this great. the 7200 rpm disk drive is more than adequate for opening up programs, apps and files. I do not game, but I am sure that it would be able to handle some light gaming.
I love the display. I thought that 1080p would not be enough, but it is a great display. I like the colors and at 15.6" 1080p scales most programs well. I have used some 4K laptops and the scaling is not always great and it can make certain things very difficult to see since it is so small. I did not have this issue with this laptop. The touch display worked well for me too.
I like the layout of the keyboard and love that it has a numeric keypad. Travel space is nice and very accurate. The only thing I did not like about the keyboard were the smaller up/down/right/left buttons.
I was happy with the port selection, usb C, HDMI, SD card slot, headphones and two USB 3 ports. You really won't need to use a dongle on this laptop.
Build is nice. You can actually open up the laptop with one hand. There is some movement with the display when typing, but not too noticeable. The fact that you can fold the laptop in half to turn it into a tablet is a nice bonus feature. It is nice and light and easy to carry in your hand or in a backpack.
If you are looking for a nice entry level home laptop that won't be outdated in a year this is a great laptop.

The only portable speaker with Google Assistant
on December 7, 2017
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
If you are heavily into the Google ecosystem and you need a solid sounding, portable Bluetooth speaker, this is an excellent speaker for you. This is also the only speaker that has Google Assistant that can also run on a battery which finally makes for a portable Google Assistant speaker.
I like the design. It is thinner and taller than the Google Home and is covered in a tough, black mesh fabric with plastic ends. The top of the speaker comes with minimal controls where you can play/pause, lower and raise the volume, a Bluetooth pairing button and a physical button to activate Google Assistant. You can also activate Google Assistant with your voice and the two microphones in the speaker worked well. I like how you know when Google Assistant activates because the four LEDs on the front pulse to let you know it is listening for your voice. Also on the front bottom, there is a Wi-Fi indicator that shows you when the speaker is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Google Assistant worked great as well as my Google Home. It set timers, told me my calendar events, answered questions, sang to me, etc. It also delivered multiroom sound when grouped with my Google Home speaker through the Google Home app. The only thing it can't do is make phones calls like the Google Home can.
The speaker is rated at IPX67 which means it can be submerged in a foot and a half for 30 minutes. I used it in the shower and it was fine. So it seems like it would be a great speaker for the pool, a boat or any water area.
I really liked the sound, it has a better sound than my Google Home and I was able to play my music from my iphone through the JBL speaker without any problem. Sound was well balanced, treble, bass or midtones didn't drowned out the other. The bass thumps, vocals sound full and I like how the electric guitars had good detail. I measured max volume at 90 decibels and full sound didn't distort the music.
You will need the download the Google Home app to set up the speaker. It is easy and the app does a nice job of walking you through the set up. It lets you add the speaker to devices and connects you to your home Wi-Fi network. Connecting the speaker to a Bluetooth device like an iphone was very easy and a great feature since I can now play my Apple Music through the speaker. Also through the Google Home App I could also add the Link 20 to other Google Home speakers for multiroom listening. I really liked this function because now I can send an alert through the house to get my kids attention.
Battery life is good at about 10 hours. The battery makes this the only device that does not need to be plugged in to use Google Assistant. The only downfall is that you do need to be connected to Wi-Fi to use the Google Assistant and since the Google Assistant is always listening, battery life will continue to drain unless you turn it off.
Besides not being able to make phone calls with the Link 20, the Link 20 really outperforms the Google Home in everyway. It has better sound, you do not have to be plugged in and it is much more rugged. If sound matters to you and you want to have Google Assistant this is the speaker for you.
Pros
Powered by Google Assistant
Good over all sound, well balanced
Portable and rugged- Only portable Google Assistant speaker

Top Multi Use Blender
on November 24, 2017
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
If you are serious about your blending, this blender is worth its price. This is the heavier, larger version and if you blend on an uneven surface or you blend with a lot of frozen food stops the blender from bouncing and moving like other blenders.
This is a blender for those who can't boil water. The blender uses SmartBlend technology that senses and id's potential problems. I don't know how it does it but it blends a little bit differently when I blend up Chia seeds or a smoothie so that the bits are truly to a minimum and superfine for the Chia. This blender is the absolute best for blending/grinding seeds and nuts to a superfine powder. Works great for nuts and seeds to turn it into different types of flowers. This blender, for me, makes the best smoothies. I use 4 cups of kale, a lemon, cup of blueberries, 5 large strawberries and it is the consistency is super smooth and not chunky. I put it in a thermos and with a simple stir later on in the day, the smoothie goes back to being smooth and chunk free.
The blender comes with 6 preprogrammed cycles + 10, Smoothie, ice cream, Whole Juice, Soup and a clean cycle. It cycle comes with a count down timer and the cycles work well with different items too. The capacitive touch slider acts as a multi speed pulse for 8 different speeds. I love that feature for when I am making a vegetable based soup, so much easier than cutting everything up.
We also own a Blendtec blender that is close to 8 years old and still works great. We use it at least twice a day. We did have to have it repaired and replaced and it was super easy and the replacement unit was shipped quickly. The customer service and warranty is also top notch.
If you blend everyday and use a blender with your everyday cooking, this is a perfect blender for you.

Great 1080p Projector
on November 19, 2017
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
I love my BenQ projector. I can now watch TV, movies and other things and the images are huge and clear. This model is a mid level projector but it does add some features that you only see other projectors that cost $1000. They say it is best to use this projector in a dark environment and they are correct. Images and viewing was good in my living room, but when I took the projector downstairs in my basement and watched a 1080p movie it was awesome. At a distance of nine feet you can get a 100 inch projection. I watched Spiderman Homecoming on it and was blown away by the picture and the size of the actors. I truly felt like I was at the movie theater.
Some highlights on the spec are: it projects in full 180p full HD resolution. Most tv programs are 720 and most movies are 720 or 1080 with a handful at 4K. By the time this projector needs to be updated 4K will probably be the norm, but for now this projector's 1080p viewing is fine. The contrast ratio is 15,000:1 which really helps in dark scenes and prevents all of the blacks mushing into one. You ca see details in shadows and dark scenes much better. There are three modes, Sport, Vivid TV and Cinema. I preferred Cinema mode, colors and darkness level seemed the best here. Your connection ports are 2 HDMI ports, USB type mini P, IR receiver, computer in (15 pin) and RCA. You will be able to connect a lot of different devices to this projector. There are 2 W audiospeakers too and if that is not loud enough there are audio ports to connect speakers too. I plan on adding some speakers to make it a little louder. The only con I have is that there are no USB port to connect a fire stick or ROKU stick.
So if you are looking to increase the viewing size for when watching TV shows or movies or playing video games, this projector is a great way to achieve that and by setting the size screen you want all with the twist of a knob. This particular BenQ projector, for being an entry-level really performed well with delivering sharp, bright and clean looking colors, clarity and images. It's very easy to set-up right out of the box and there isn't much you really need to do. I would highly recommend it.

If you are looking for a wireless pair of headphones with great bass, built for the gym, water resistant and long lasting battery life this is a great earphone for you.
I like how these earphones fit. The earphones have a nice matte rubber finish and hooks that help stabilize the fit. There are eight pairs of ear tips of various shapes and sizes that really help to offer a customize fit and block out outside noise. The earphones come with IP55 rating which will mean it can handle some sweat and you could probably even rinse them off after a workout, but don't submerge them in water. I was really able to get a great fit and block out the noise from my Exercise bike that is fan driven and loud. I didn't have to turn up the volume as loud as I typically have to with other earphones that I have used. I like how the hooks fit over my ears. It was comfortable and not heavy. Wearing them for 2 plus hours was pleasant and didn't rub against my ears.
The charging case is well made. The lid for the charging case flips up and snaps closed automatically when not being held open. No worry about losing your earphones or having them come out of the charger when carrying it around. A bonus with the case is that you can use it to charge other devices. The charging cord is a micro USB port and I wish it was a USB C port instead. I like the battery meter while charging, the battery life is displayed up top and pressing a button gives you a five LED readout of much juice is left in the case which is a handy feature. The charging cord is well designed and wraps itself around the case so that it is not in the way.
Battery life is an easy 7 hours much better than the 4 hours found in typical wireless earphones. The case also holds up to 30 hours of additional charge which is great if you are not near an outlet.
Pairing the earphones to my iphone and lg OLED tv was easy. To pair you just hold the power button on both earphones for a few seconds. Then you pair one earphone with your device and the other with the now paired first earpiece. The LED blink rapidly or slowly during the pairing process to guide you and let you know when both earphones are ready. If the earphones are charging in the case and you pull them out of the case, the earphones automatically powers on and will auto pair with any devices you have already paired up with.
The earpieces have touch-sensitive surfaces, and everything is achieved by tapping or holding a finger over the outside panels. Tapping the left earpiece once controls playback and call management, while double tapping it summons Siri or Google voice commands. The left earpiece will skip forward a track with a single tap, or backward with a double tap. Holding a finger over the right earpiece raises the volume, and over the left lowers it.
Sound is great. At top levels it is loud but distortion is minimal. These are one of the loudest and clearest wireless headphones I have ever used. I like bass and these earphones produce some great intense bass and sound.

Awesome Sound, perfect for the outdoors with Alexa
on November 14, 2017
Posted by: giper54
from Buffalo, NY
This speaker is loud. From the tech specs, the speaker has a max output of 93 decibels, which is a 40% increase, can I tell if it is 40% louder, not sure but I can be a good 30-50 feet and have no problems hearing the speaker when I compared it to other Bluetooth speakers that I had. For me the sound reaches everywhere in my back yard and my back yard is about a half acre. It has 360 coverage and it really didn't matter where I was in my back yard, the music sounded great from all angles. It sounds very clear and doesn't have that muddy sound you hear on other speakers when you turn up the volume all of the way.
Wifi is rated at 330 feet for wifi and 150 for Bluetooth. I could reach a signal anywhere in my yard and I had a solid Bluetooth connection from 35 feet or so. No drop outs and the sound was great.
Battery life is good. One thing I like is that the charger is wireless charging dock so I could really charge the speaker anywhere I went and it gave it a nice base to keep off the table. The battery is rated for 16 hours and I got close to that, but I was near a strong wifi signal and I kept the volume level at about half. I am not sure what happens to the battery life if it is not near a strong wifi signal, but battery life does take a hit if you play at max levels.
Alexa is built in so you get hands free access to music services such as Amazon music, iHeartRadio and TuneIn. It looks like Pandora and Deezer will work in the near future. You get access to other Alexa services such as news, weather, auidiobooks, voice control for IoT devices, general questions and 25,000 Alexa commands. Set up is through a new UE app which connects your wifi network and links you Amazon account for the Alexa functions. Since the speaker is WiFi capable, the speaker will get updates quickly for Alexa functions. One of the benefits about being connected to wifi is now your music won't stop when someone is calling you.
The Pros:
More durable and portable version of the Echo
Much louder and clearer than an Echo
Sounds much clearer at loud levels, doesn't sound muddy
IP67 water resistant.
Alexa is always listening no more having to press a button
Some Cons:
There is no head phone jack, I know not everyone uses one and a speaker is typically so everyone can hear it, but some people will want the earphone access.
Can't link older UE speakers and for now you can only play music through one Megablast at a time.
Right now only Amazon Music, iHeartRadios and TuneIn are available for streaming music directly. Pandora and Deezer are set to be in the future. So if you use Apple music or Spotify you are out of luck.
Can't make Alexa phone calls.
I really like this speaker, one of the better sounding ones at full volume. If you need a loud, great sounding portable speaker that has Alexa functions built in so you can be hands free and is water resistant, this is the speaker for you.
