I Like The Organization But Not The Price
on April 30, 2024
Posted by: EXWOLF
Out of the box it looks like a very bulky tablet or like a picture frame with a screen. Although this is the Skylight - Calendar, you can use it as a photo frame. The catch is that you have to subscribe to their monthly or yearly service to be able to have that function. I opted to give it a try but it always felt to me like it was not a feature I needed or should have to pay for especially with how expensive the Skylight - Calendar is.
The Skylight - Calendar is a digital calendar where you can sync with multiple people in your household to have access to all your tasks, events, or reminders that you may want to all share with each other. I share it with my wife and it has been really helpful in keeping our lives more organized. The first thing she did was assign me a task to clean the bathroom. Beyond being able to assign chores to each other, you can also create grocery lists, to-do lists or set new events directly from the Skylight - Calendar or the companion app which sync together very quickly.
Although I am a fan of the organization the Skylight Calendar brings, I don't feel like it is for everybody especially at this price point which at the time of this review is $249.99 discounted from $319.99. It's also difficult to find a spot for it if you don't want it taking up countertop space in your kitchen or space on your nightstand or desk. It does come with mounting hardware so I opted for the hallway where I will surround it with actual picture frames so that it somewhat blends in. The only downside was that I could not adjust it to the height I wanted to due to short cord length as it needs to be plugged into an outlet. For this price point, I would expect it to have a rechargeable battery.
Overall, I do like the Skylight Calendar and do use it everyday but I would like to see some additional features, free photo syncing, and maybe a lower price point. If the Skylight Calendar were to get damaged, I would probably not replace it as I could just use my phone, tablet, or computer to serve a similar function and can go with me everywhere.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best RoboVac I've Owned
on March 24, 2024
Posted by: EXWOLF
I am glad robot vacuums like the Eufy X10 Pro Omni exist. The first time I tried it out, I was very impressed. The wife stepped out to run some errands and I was in charge of house cleaning duty. The tile floors needed sweeping and mopping due to tracking in more dirt than usual due to rains. I filled up the water tank to the Max line without any cleaning solution(Eufy says you can only use their cleaning solution if desired), cleared the floor of any obstructions, closed off the bedrooms that didn't have tile, and proceeded to start the vacuum with Smart mode which created a cleaning plan and strategy based on the rooms and the frequency they get cleaned.
The first 5-10 minutes on first use of the vacuum just maps out the area and returns to the docking station to clean the mopping pads. After that's complete, the vacuum starts the cleaning process and adjusts suction power when needed or water use frequency when needed. I was comfortable leaving to another room to tidy up and when the cleaning was complete, the vacuum returns to the docking station to collect all the dust into a dust bag and empty the dirty water into the dirty water tank while also cleaning the mopping pads. The process after docking did take quite a bit of time.
Overall, the floors looked great! They were very clean and the wife came home and said "wow, the floors look so clean!". That's when I knew we had a winner! I also could not find a single dog hair on the floor and our golden sheds a lot!
Some other things to point out. The set up process was very easy with the Eufy clean app and found my robot right away. Immediately needed a firmware update out of the box. I didn't find a user manual but was able to locate one online to be able to understand the features. The app also does a great job at explaining what certain features are and do if you decide to use them.
Although this robot vacuum takes away the need to sweep or mop manually, you will still have to maintain it by swapping out the dust bag when needed or cleaning the dirty water tank while at times cleaning the base station so it doesn't build up bacteria. A small price to pay for the convenience of having a robot clean your floors.

Great Watch! Got my 10k PR with it.
on March 19, 2024
Posted by: EXWOLF
I received my watch a couple days before competing in a 10k race and I'm glad I did.
First off, the watch is very comfortable to wear and sports a large screen to view detailed information on your run. The screen is also easy to see in bright daylight but also has an auto backlight feature when it's dark.
I was able to program a pace alert during my race so I knew if I was going too fast or too slow. Throughout the run I would get high pace alert which allowed me to reassess how I was feeling and adjust pace accordingly. Overall, the pace alert came in very handy and I was able to place 2nd overall in the race while viewing my current pace at all times and alerts at every mile for my lap time. The GPS was extremely accurate and had the race completed at exactly 6.21 miles.
The same day as my race I went up to Big Bear Lake and decided to go into the snow covered hiking trails to look for some good sledding spots. I activated my watch on Hiking mode and was able to keep my connection to GPS at all times while showing me my pace, elevation gain, heart rate, training load, and calories burned. All the information is saved upon completion and you're able to view it directly from the watch or the Coros app which has a great design and user interface.
Overall, I'm very happy with this GPS watch and wear it at all times even when I'm not running. I can't wait to continue my training with it and improve in my endurance events.

Falls Just a Little Short But Excellent Gaming PC
on March 14, 2024
Posted by: EXWOLF
Out of the box I knew this laptop was going to be premium just by the look and feel. The all aluminum eclipse gray chasis gives it durability while maintaining a lightweight feel.
After set up I immediately went into downloading Red Dead Redemption 2 off steam which took about 30 minutes and booted up quickly. All of my settings were on Ultra and the beautiful Nebula display really highlighted the computers graphics capabilities while allowing the feeling of immersion with the built in speakers on both sides of the keyboard. The downside was that the fans kicked in on full blast immediately during gameplay from cut scenes to the actual game and I noticed a bit of lag so I had to turn down settings. Once those fans kick in you can't really hear the audio as clearly as you would want to during gameplay so I opted for headphones.
The feel of the keyboard and track pad is one of the best with good travel and ample amount of feedback. I found it very easy to maneuver and glide over the keys when needed as well as maintained good control on the track pad. It's still recommended to get a mouse but if the track pad is all you have it's big enough for my small hands and works well.
Overall, I played Warzone, Tomb Raider, Red Dead 2, MS Flight Simulator, and MW3 with slight hiccups during each game on the performance side so I had to make little tweaks throughout the process but I enjoyed myself. It's a great fit for gamers and task heavy users alike.

Frustrating Set Up and App but Good Quality Print
on February 11, 2024
Posted by: EXWOLF
Starting the set up of the printer was really simple. Scan a QR code provided in the Quick Start guide and you're on your way with setting up wifi, installing cartridges, and aligning the printer. The frustration came after the set up when trying to print. I attempted to print a photo and I got an error "printer blocked" so I tried to diagnose but couldn't find a block. I tried printing a document and I ran into the same issue. I cleared the cache from the app, restarted It, turned off the printer, turned it back on and tried again. This time printer could not be found and wifi had disconnected so I had to manually reconnect it from the printer itself. The touchscreen had a really bad lag when scrolling but finally connected. I tried with my smartphone again but same issue.
I gave up trying to use the app on my smartphone and moved onto my PC. I was finally able to print when using the PC and the quality of my photo was good so I scanned it to see if quality remained and it did.
Documents also print at a quick enough rate with great clear quality prints. The printer also auto detects a change in paper and gives you the option to switch before moving on. The feeder itself fits a large stack of paper so reloading it often isn't necessary.
Overall, when it works, it's great but when it doesn't it's frustrating and I seem to always have this issue with the Office Jet Pro line of HP printers so for that reason it gets 3 stars instead of 4. If the print with the phone through the app works, it would add to productivity and efficiency in my life but for now, it's just another printer.

Great Office Printer
on January 18, 2024
Posted by: EXWOLF
Out of the box the printer is very easy to unpack and set up. Instructions are very clear and very easy to follow. There are a few ways to get started. I elected to set up the wifi. Scanned the QR codes in the instructions and on the printer. Downloaded the app and was able to set up the wifi with little confusion.
The footprint is pretty small.
There is no scanner and no color printing.
Its has an easy front loading tray that fits up to 8.5x11 sheets of paper.
It printed quick and didn't need to calibrate to get started.
The one downside that I wish it had the automatic capabilities for is double side printing. I could not figure out how to print on both sides without having to print out all the front pages, reload them into the printer and print on the back. Took a couple tries to get this right.
This printer is perfect for the office or home office for quick word documente, pdfs, and school work. Prints out crisp, quietly, and quickly. Easy to use and easy to change out the ink tray.
Overall great printer for what it is. Of you need color, double sided printing, then this is not it. If you need quick, efficient document printing, this is a great option.

Great Razer Speakers
on December 26, 2023
Posted by: EXWOLF
The first thing that I noticed about these speakers was the size. They are large and take up a decent amount of desk space but are sleek with minimalist design.
Setting up these speakers was quick and simple taking about 5 minutes with majority of the set up time being cable management. If you want to deal with as little cables as possible, you can use Bluetooth if gaming on a PC but will still need to connect aux if wanting to play on PS5 or Xbox.
Gaming with these speakers is incredible and even without a separate wireless subwoofer, the bass is good and clarity in audio when characters are talking is great. If you don't mind waking everyone up in the house, raising the volume to 70% will shake and rumble the room while 100% I would not recommend just due to harshness of sound.
Overall, these gaming speakers will not be the most high end and have separate accessories that do not come with this set but can fulfill your gaming needs. The bass is booming, the audio is clear, and you can make it loud enough to cause a rumble.

Keep Your Coffee at Your Optimal Temp
on December 10, 2023
Posted by: EXWOLF
Coffee is very essential in not just my life but also my wife's. This tumbler with a 16 oz capacity is great for sharing and keeping our coffee at optimal temperature. Connecting the tumbler to the phone via the app with Bluetooth was simple and quick. From there you are able to check battery life and set the temperature of the drink. The advertised battery life is 3 hours which if I'm honest haven't needed to keep if warm for that long while at most needing it to remain at my optimal temperature for less than 2 hours. Some complaints that I've noticed with this model is the fact that it won't fit in a car cup holder. The solution to that problem is simple. Get an expander for your tumbler. I carry this in my car with the expander with no issues with spilling. The 2 lid options are good and I primarily use the lid that you are able to slide. It's advertised as spill proof which at the moment holds true. Overall, this is a good capacity tumbler with the ability to retain a specific temperature for a long time satisfying the desire for a good cup of coffee in the morning.

Happy with a clean home
on December 10, 2023
Posted by: EXWOLF
The technology of robot vacuums has advanced so much since they were first introduced and the Eufy X8 Pro is a great example of forward progress. While there are a few hiccups with the X8 Pro that I ran into during testing, the end result was always a cleaner home without the help of human intervention.
My residence is a small 1300 SF single story family home with a lot of open space in the main living areas. The obstacles that the robot had trouble with were mainly chairs. It would go under the chair and would get stuck in some occasions but made it out on others. If it does get suck, the robot essentially pleads for help with it's built in speakers or through the app via a notification.
I did run into an instance where I didn't clear the floor appropriately and it sucked in a rag seizing the roller brush. At this point, the robot asked for help clearing the roller brush and was on it's way.
Digital Map
The X8 Pro creates a digital map of your home and through the app you can create "no go zones" where the robot is off limits. This is very useful when you only want the robot to focus on one zone in your home while you're away to avoid any possible obstacles that may need human intervention.
Self Emptying Tower
What really sets this model apart is the ability to empty the dirt and debris automatically at the charging station. Once it's docked, the dirt and debris gets sucked into the tower and collects it in a bag. The roller brush also initiates an untangling sequence in case there is hair or something tangled on the roller brush that would affect performance.
Battery Life
The robot is able to clear the entire house while still having greater than 30% battery life which is plenty of life to get back to it's charging dock.
Suction Power
This vacuum has an auto suction power feature that the robot initiates when there is a heavier presence of dirt and needs greater power. You can also adjust this on the app so that it's always at its highest suction or keep it at its lowest suction. Keep in mind though that the greater the suction power, the faster the robot will lose its charge.
Mop Feature
There is a mop attachment that you can utilize but I found that manual mopping has always outperformed the robot vacuum just due to the amount of water it can hold and the inability of the robot to product pressure on the surface it's cleaning to get rid of anything that may have hardened on the floor.
Overall, the X8 Pro has saved me precious time throughout the day allowing me to run other errands that a robot cannot handle. It's simple to set up and with a push of a button, the robot will clear my home of all the dreaded pet hair and dirt/debris that has accumulated from the foot traffic throughout the day. I run it everyday and couldn't be happier with a cleaner home.

Air Fryer that does it all!
on October 30, 2023
Posted by: EXWOLF
The air fryer itself is very big so make sure you have a storage space for it that is also easily accessible because you'll want to use this all the time. Even though I have a dedicated toaster, I have been using the Bella Pro Series air fryer and I have noticed that the toaster function on this Bella Pro Series gives an even toast whether there are 2 pieces or the maximum 6 pieces of toast. Aside from that, the air fryer function produces crispy french fries from fresh sliced potatoes or a frozen bag of fries. I sometimes use it for frozen tater tots and they are always perfectly crisp and delicious! Although I don't bake a lot, baking on the Bella Pro Series Air Fryer is a little bit of a challenge. It took a couple of tries to dial down the correct temperatures and timing for an even bake on muffins.
I love a rotisserie chicken and this air fryer does not disappoint when cooking a rotisserie chicken. The set up takes a little bit of time but once set up it's as simple as setting the temperature and timer to get the perfect cook that you need.
Overall, this air fryer is highly useful and a daily staple to my cooking experience in my kitchen now.

Need to connect Ethernet multi-port Hub to Google Home WiFi. This to allow me to connect SmartThings & Philips hubs which communicate with their smart devices. I also need a 2nd port to connect to the router. So are there 2 ports the Google WiFi home?

There is one port to connect to your modem and another to connect to other devices for WAN/LAN. Each Google Wifi access point has those two ports.

Does this replace my comcast router? How does the cord from TV connect to it? Also will Nest and Wemo connect with it?

Yes it will replace your Comcast router if you wanted it to. As to the question about the cord you need to be more specific. What kind of cord is it and what is it connecting to? Yes you can connect to WeMo and Nest. It has dual bands which are 2 and 5 Ghz . I believe WeMo needs 2 Ghz band to work so it would work.

I have att diverse internet. Will this replace them. What is monthly charge for Google wifi

This product is not Google Wifi internet service. It is a mesh system that connects to each other to provide wifi throughout your entire home using your existing ISP. So you would not replace your Uverse home service with this product. You would connect this product to your modem and it would become your router.

I need this for my 16 year old grand daughter..she uses more wifi in one day than I do in a month..basically needed for her phone. Can this be used for only one item???

Google Wifi routers don't provide wifi without an internet service provider. You need an ISP in order to have a gateway that allows your home to have Wifi. Any router is capable of handling one device so this product isn't necessary if all you need is a wifi connection. Your standard router provided by your ISP is good enough. This product is used to cover the entirety of your home with wifi while eliminating dead spots where wifi might be hard to reach because of walls and objects blocking the signal.

Memory Card the same as a SIM card by a different name?

Is the EVO+ 64GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card the same as a SIM card by a different name?
No. A sim card is associated with your carrier and is needed to support the features on your device and identify you to the phone company (Send texts, make phone calls). A memory card is intended to store data only such as pictures or videos.

How much speed is really necessary to play a movie on a tablet?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" and am purchasing 2 separate cards; one for my music and one for my movies. I have been comparing the Samsung EVO+ (UHS-1) and the Pro+ (UHS-3) memory cards. How much speed is really necessary in a memory card to play a video?
You should be able to play a movie even with a low end memory card with low read speed. Transferring the movie on the sd card however might take longer with a 20mb/s than with an 80mb/s memory card. In your case the UHS-1 is more than enough to run a movie.
