Powerful Quality Sound and Great Features!
on June 14, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
With great sound quality, volume, battery life, inputs, and features the XP500 is an awesome party speaker that can do more than just be a speaker!
Sound
I'm blown away by the volume and quality of the sound! The tweeters produce a strong high end that comes through strong and the woofers are loud and quality. I listened to vocals, classical, drums, guitars, electric guitars, deep bass, and even just TV. The sound is excellent all around, rich, full, and clear. It has no problem filling a room with quality sound. I was extra impressed by the bass! The XP500 has some sort if rear-firing sub-woofer but it produces a very strong ambient bass - so it's not at all like the bass going the wrong direction. I was clearly able to hear it and feel the bass it everywhere!

Easy to Use
There are just a handful of large, easy to read, easy to push buttons on top. The default settings give incredible sound! It's easy to plug in to another device or to pair it to a Bluetooth device. For many functions like customizing the lights (you can turn them on and off with a button on the back of the speaker) you'll need the Sony Music Center app and the Sony Fiestable app. These apps let you see the battery level, give you custom EQs, select music to play from a flash drive that's connected to the speaker, Karaoke features, vocal effects, and more.

Inputs
I love the inputs on the XP500! It has an 1/8" stereo line-in, and two other 1/4" line-ins for a mic. The second mic input also has a button to make it a guitar input so you can use this speaker as a guitar amp. Not only that but both of the 1/4" inputs have a dial for independent volume control. There are also two USB ports that you can use to charge devices or plug in a flash drive to play music.

Stereo
Due to the design with two woofers and two tweeters, with each of one type across from the other, this speaker actually does provide stereo separation! It automatically senses if it's in vertical or horizontal orientation. When vertical, it give left/right separation with the tweeters, when horizontal, it gives left/right separation with the woofers. The speakers are not far apart so you may not always notice it but I tested up close and sure enough, it does it! I'm impressed that not only did Sony do this but they put a sensor in to adjust for orientation. When horizontal you will only lay it down the correct way because there are feet on the one side. It's we'll though out and a cool bonus even if not needed in a speaker like this.

Battery Life
The battery life is excellent! I've been using it a lot and I'm really impressed at how long it lasts. I have the lights on almost all the time and of course the volume level will make a huge difference in battery life but I'm impressed, great sound and I haven't had to think about the battery. There is a Stamina mode you can enable if you need it to last longer. Hold down the "Mega Bass" button until the "Stamina" light comes on. This speaker plugs into an AC outlet to charge. It does not charge off USB, but it will charge other devices over USB.

Also!!!
This speaker is water resistant. While it's not made to handle any direct spraying it should be fine with the occasional splash. It also supports Party Connect to connect up to 100 Party Connect speakers together and have them play the same thing! With a second identical speaker you have the option of using them as the left and right channels for stereo audio or having them play the same thing.

Warning!
I discovered Sony has two incompatible wireless speaker connectivity technologies. One is Wireless Party Chain and the other is Party Connect. The XP500 supports Party Connect and will not connect wirelessly with Sony speakers that support Wireless Party Chain. Make sure you're aware of this if you plan to connect it to other speakers wirelessly.

Looks Great, Quiet, and Easy to Move
on June 8, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
I love the look, size, and function of the PureDry Deluxe Dehumidifier. It's easy to move around, easy to use, and works well!
Dehumidification
I was very happy with how the PureDry pulled water out of the air. The box says it will remove up 20oz of water. It pulled water out and filled the tank which is what I expected. It stopped when full as it's supposed to also.

Design
The PureDry has a clean, sleek look to it. There are only three capacitive buttons on top. Each one has lights to indicate auto shut-off time, power on/off, and fan speed. There's a slot in the front of the unit to show how much water is in the tank. There's a handle at the top of the back of the unit that makes it easy to pick up. The tank is accessed from the back. There's a place in the back water tank where you could connect a tube for it to drain. No tube is included, just the plug you need so that water doesn't leak out.

There are three buttons on top. A simple touch will activate them. One button is for the shut-off timer, which can be set to off (run continuously), 4 hours, or 8 hours. The when the water tank filled the unit shut off, just like it should. It's easy to pull the tank out and empty it.

Noise
There are only two speeds, low or high, but I think that's all it needs. Low is quiet. I can hear it in a quiet room but it's a soft hum, not annoying at all. With anything going on in the room at all I totally forget it's even there. High is much louder but I it is still an acceptable noise level for me to be in the room where it is. With this on low it's idea for a room with people talking.

Fast Chromebook with Great Screen
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
This is a really fast Chromebook with a large and bright screen!
Speed
My favorite feature of this Chromebook is the speed! This thing is fast! One thing I like about Chromebooks is that decent Chromebooks are fast - the startup, shutdown, sleep, wake, and browsing are all very snappy. Everything is just fast and smooth. This one is by far the fastest Chromebook I've used. I ran a browser based performance test and somehow this 11th Gen i3 beat a 10 Gen i7 that I have. This Asus 2-in-1 was 2/5ths faster than the i7! The i7 was running the latest version of Chrome in Windows. Besides that the disk performance seems very fast for a Chromebook. 128GB of storage is very generous for a Chromebook and they didn't cut corners on the speed of that storage. It launches large apps quickly, where I'm used to waiting longer on other Chromebooks. I'm not saying this will be faster than an i7 in general but this Asus 2-in-1 Chromebook is faster in at least one browser based benchmark than my i7 Windows laptop. It feels very fast when web browsing and when running Android apps. The 8GB of RAM is generous for a Chromebook and I'm sure that helps things stay smooth as well.

Design
I really love the 2-in-1 form factor for Chromebooks because they run Android apps and many of those work better on or are designed for use in a tablet form factor. It's great having the huge screen too. Some may not like the fact that the outside of it is plastic but I actually like that in mobile devices because it doesn't interfere with radio signals like Bluetooth and WiFi. I love the fact that Chromebooks in general are low maintenance, they mostly take care of themselves. Updates are fast and almost transparent after the initial setup. The fact that this one is extra fast, compared to Chromebooks that I've used, is a bonus. You can charge it from either USB-C port and there is one one each side near the back. It's really handy having a charging port on either side! The keyboard has a great feel. Love a back-lit keyboard. It's very easy to read in the dark, I'm actually typing in the dark now. They keys have a great feel to them. The size and travel of they keys feels good. Besides the large screen itself, a benefit of having the large screen is you get a numeric keypad on the side too. The keys on the numeric keypad are a little smaller than the others, very noticeably, but it's still very usable and better than no keypad.

Screen
The large screen gives me a large amount of screen real-estate and touch-friendly buttons. Besides spreadsheets, which are great with a larger screen like this that doesn't require scaling, it's also great for some other things like app versions of board games. In other words, the screen is big enough that it's easy to touch buttons without losing the benefit of the high resolution. The screen is bright with excellent viewing angles from all four sides. The colors look rich and accurate.

Sound
This Chromebook has Harman/Kardon audio. Music I listened to sounded as good or better than other laptop I've listened that supposedly have some kind of special audio. I wouldn't say it sounded like it was surround sound but the sound was full and rich for a laptop. The volume was good too. The speakers fire out the front right sides at an angle and bottom.

Battery Life
The battery life of this Chromebook is great! I'm used to getting good battery life from Chromebooks and this Asus 2-in-1 is no exception. I have noticed that a cooling fan seems to run fairly often but I've still been getting excellent battery life in spite of that.

I love the speed, battery life, and large screen of the Asus 2-in-1! It's so quick and easy to pick up and use and with the low maintenance of a Chromebook there are few interruptions and they're short when they come. It's useful for a large percentage of my computing needs and very convenient!

Small, waterproof speaker with great sound!

Small speaker with big sound.
The Mini 3 Pro is small but has a rich full sound speaker
Sound
This little speaker puts out a strong, rich sound! I played a number of different styles of music on it and was impressed with the results. Not only are lyrics strong and clear but bass lines really come through too! It has great volume and bass for the size.

Design
This speaker is small and light-weight!!! It's very easy for me to take it anywhere because of that and the small loop/lanyard that's attached. It's also completely water-proof so there are no worries when taking it to the pool. The bottom of the side has the buttons on it. They're the same color and material as the rest of the speaker but they stick out so you can feel them. There's a power button, volume up/down, an action button that you can use to active the assistant on your phone, and a Bluetooth button. There are also a series of 12 LED lights around the top that really just form a band of color. It can be the same color or different colors. A quick press of the power button will turn the colors off if you don't want them but you can do a lot more with the colors using the SoundCore app. It uses a USB-C port to charge, which I'm a fan of since I've got a number of USB-C devices. It does not have an 1/8" stereo in jack so the only way to connect to it is by Bluetooth but that's usually what I use anyway. It supports Bluetooth 5 so that's good! There's a rubber door that goes over the USB-C port to protect it from water. It also has a very grippy rubber bottom.

SoundCore App
The SoundCore app is an easy to use way to control the functions of your speaker. It will let you change the EQs and volume but the most interesting thing is the light control. It comes with a handful of different light effects such as Party Time, Bouncing Beats, and Cool Breath. You can also edit the effects by changing and selecting colors. I liked the multi color mode that was the default but like it even more when I customized the effects, changed the effect, and made it a single color. The SoundCore app also checks for new firmware for the speaker and updates it. The app is also needed to update the firmware of the speaker. The app makes that easy, letting you know when there's an update.

High quality, easy to use, 1080p monitor
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The HP M24f is high quality 1080p monitor with an excellent design and feature set.
Image Quality
Though 1920x1080 isn't a high resolution for a 24" display it sure looks good on this monitor! The colors are rich and vibrant! The viewing angle is excellent too. I can look at it from sharp angles horizontally or vertically and the image is still visible. I was surprised when I realized it has a low blue light mode that's always on. In fact, I opened an image of a color wheel and it looked normal and perfect. I use three monitors for work, this being the third, and comparing images across the three this one looks the brightest and the colors look as good or better than on the others. So I don't know how they're doing it but they have a way to reduce blue light being emitted without hurting the color quality - at least not that I could notice. It does have a "night mode" and that makes the display look like I would expect for a mode that reduces blue light. Obviously it's taking out a lot more blue but that's what it's supposed to do. The fact that I can have reduced blue light all the time without noticing it is awesome! The monitor is "eyesafe Display" certified which apparently has to do with reducing blue light and maintaining high color quality. There is also an "HP Enhance +" feature in the "Color" options. It seems to adjust the sharpness of what's on the display. I tried getting photos to show the difference it makes but that didn't work and since it's an effect applied by the monitor I can't get a screenshot showing the difference either. Anyway, it makes fine details more visible. For instance, hair on someone's head or details of a mountain in the distance in a photo. I've never seen a monitor do that!

Design
I like the thin top and side bezels of this monitor. I also like the design of the base while it doesn't swivel side to side it does tilt up and down and you can always turn the whole unit side to side anyway. I took some pictures of the base and the cable management for you to see. The base is easy to put together and the cable management works very well to run the power and video cables. It won't get too crazy since there is only one HDMI port and one VGA port. They get points for including VGA! While not used as often anymore there are still tons of systems out there that have VGA and no HDMI so it's good to see it there. There are no USB or audio ports on it. This monitor also supports AMD FreeSync for gaming.

Ease of use
I've worked with many different on screen menu systems for monitors. It seems like every monitor has a different one. I like this the best by far! Take a look at my pictures. There are four buttons plus the power button under the bottom right side of the monitor. The power button is easy to find because there's a bump with the power LED right next to it. Then, to activate and use the on screen display just press any one of the four buttons. Then you will see soft buttons pop up on the screen, one above each button. It's very self-explanatory and easy to get used to. You can even re-assign three of the four default soft buttons if you want.

Great sound, battery life, and fit
on May 11, 2021

I love the great fit, light-weight, excellent sound quality, and battery life of the BlueParrott M300-XT!
Sound Quality
The sound quality is excellent! I can hear people perfectly and they can hear me fine. While you can't do stereo since it's only on one ear I still wanted to test the sound quality more so I used it for some music. It plays music very well too. It really sounds good and is excellent for conversations. I used it with my phone and my Windows 10 laptop and had great results on both.

Active Noise Cancelation
The active noise cancelation works very well! I've tested it with a piano playing and a vacuum cleaner as well as just people talking in the background. The person on the other end doesn't hear the background noise! I was skeptical so I got on the other end of the call, it really is that good! They claim 80% noise reduction, it seemed like 100% to me! It really works well! I was impressed especially for something so small with such great battery life.

Design
The M300-XT is very, very light-weight! At .7 oz you barely feel it's there. The rubberized arm that goes over your ear makes it very easy to put on and it stays on well and in position. There are three buttons on the piece that is behind your ear. The top is the power button, then volume up, and volume down on the bottom. All three buttons are easy to get to and feel so you don't get the wrong one by accident. There is also a button with a Blue Parrott on it on the side of the ear piece, where the boom is attached. This button will mute the mic by default. It has three different size ear pieces to fit more people better. They go in the ear but not the ear canal - and I'm glad not to have it in my ear canal! It can also be adjusted to go one the left or right ear. The ear-piece is very comfortable and easy to use!

Battery life
it's rated for 14 hours of talk time. Naturally that could depend on the volume level you use but with my so far I wonder if the battery is better than advertised. I really don't know for sure but I can say that the battery life is excellent - especially considering the great sounds quality, active noise cancelation, and very light weight.

BlueParrott App
Using the BlueParrott app you can configure what the BlueParrott button does. It can be used to speed dial a number, check the battery of the ear-piece and phone, switch between two paired devices, and more. You will also want to install the BlueParrott app to update it to the latest firmware.

High quality wireless surround!
on April 27, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
I'm very glad to have the Polk Audio SR2 Wireless Surround Speakers to go with the React SoudBar! Setup is easy and the surround sound is excellent!
Setup
These surround speakers were easy to setup. Each speaker has a power cord and it's pretty long, over 9 feet. You can set them on a table or they can be mounted on a wall. Pairing them to the Soundbar is a quick and easy process. There's an indicator light on the bottom of each speaker showing that it's paired.

Surround Sound
The surround impressed me more than I thought. I expected it to only really be useful in movies but that wasn't the case. I found sounds coming unexpectedly out of the surround speakers for all different types of content. There were YouTube families we follow who used the surround channels to play music while they were talking from the front channels. Sometimes I got positional audio from videos I wasn't expecting as well. In one show I was watching I almost jumped in my seat when a spaceship that I wasn't expecting to enter the scene flew over me from behind and the sound made me feel like I was there! When surround audio is used it makes a richer environment overall and pulls me into the scene in a way I never was before. Probably my favorite feature that I didn't realize this sound system has is the "All Stereo Mode". When I'm just listening to two channel music but I want it to come out of all the speakers I can press the "Music" button twice on the remote (included with the React Soundbar) to activate "All Stereo Mode". I love this feature as it really adds value to the surround speakers! The remote included with the React Soundbar has dedicated buttons for left/right balance of the surround speakers as well as volume of the surround speakers.

Sound Quality
I very impressed with the sound quality no matter what I was listening to. For the surround audio, whether it was forest animals and rustling leaves or sci-fi sounds as described above, all sounds were reproduced realistically. When I had music playing through the surround speakers there was never a difference from the sounds coming out of them compared to the front. The sound was just a rich and clear as from the front soundbar.

One odd thing
With my setup I didn't get audio out of the surround speakers when using Dolby Surround on my TV. I set my TV to PCM audio and I got excellent, positional audio, out of the surround speakers.

The Polk Audio React Wireless Subwoofer is an easy to setup subwoofer that delivers powerful, high-quality bass!
Design
The React Wireless Subwoofer is easy to setup an pair. There is light on the back that tells you when it's paired. It has a solid casing around the sides and the top - without visible places for sound to escape. If you look at the bottom you will see a 7" speaker facing down and a large hole for bass to escape as well. I uploaded a picture of this for you to see. The design is very effective!

Sound - Bass
I was actually surprised by how much I liked having the bass of a true subwoofer - as opposed to speakers with "good" bass. I thought it would only be good for action movies with loud explosions or things like that. I was really surprised when I started noticing, even in things like documentaries, there are times where there is lower pitched background music or sound effects and in those situations, the bass is more subtle but it does the same sort of thing as surround sound, bringing you more fully into the scene. The bass just fills the room and makes you feel more engaged with the person talking or the scene in the show/movie, etc. The bass was deep, clear, and solid. So it doesn't need to be loud and annoying - though it can get loud, but it can be rich, deep, and full, at a low volume that's pleasant and just adds ambiance. It's what I was looking for in a sub! The remote included with the React Soundbar has buttons on it for bass up/down which is coinvent too.

Awesome soundbar with great features

The Polk Audio React Soundbar gives great quality sound to fill the room with excellent audio!
Design
The Soundbar has the kind of design that's pretty common with a lot of new home speakers. Fabric is stretched over the front, top, and sides. There are lights in the front but you only see them when they light up because they're behind the fabric. I think it looks cool! The top has the normal type of button layout you would expect to find on an Alexa device, with volume up, volume down, mic off, and an action button. I was glad to find an HDMI cable and optical cable in the box. It also comes with a template for wall mounting. Setup is easy using the Alexa app on your phone.

Sound
The sound quality is excellent! Movies, YouTube video's, and different styles of music all sound great. Vocals, stringed instruments, piano, drums, nature sounds, and sci-fi audio all sound real. I listed to a number of types of music, watched some movies and TV shows, and watched YouTube videos. The sound is consistently excellent with clear rich vocals and deep bass. Not only are vocal great but the remote actually has buttons for vocal "up and down". It worked very well to make vocals more pronounced or soften them. There are also modes for different types of content or at listening at night: Night, Music, Sports, and Movie. I like the night mode. It seems to reduce loud noises and background sounds while keeping voice audible. It's helpful for watching a movie while the kids are sleeping upstairs.

Remote
It's a sleek and very functional remote. It's IR, so line-of-sight only, but it works well. Along with the volume up/down buttons there are also up/down buttons for Bass and Voice. At the bottom of the remove there are controls for balance and volume of the rear surround speakers, in case you have those. While they are self explanatory I was surprised by the one for voice and, as I mentioned above, liked the way you can make voice more or less prominent. You will also see controls for the volume of the surround sound and the balance of the surround sound. I like the way the lights on the speaker show where you're at for all these features. Volume up/down goes from 0 at the left and then to the right as you get louder, the way you would expect. All the others start in the middle (default) and then you can increase or decrease from there. I love this because you can play with it and it's easy to get it back to default - so you know you'll have surround at a good level when you're done messing with it for example. The remote also has the following buttons for modes that I mentioned above: Night, Music, Sport, and Movie.

Alexa and Voice Control
Alexa works very well on the React Soundbar. Using Alexa is a requirement because you use the Alexa app to setup and control the Soundbar. Beyond that, you can use Alexa for voice control. I was able to ask Alexa to turn the volume up or down or turn off my Android TV by asking Alexa to "turn off the TV". I was most impressed by the voice calling feature. I could ask Alexa to call someone in my phone. I was impressed how it handled calling my wife's phone. Sure it will call any phone but my wife and my aunt have the same name. It actually was smart enough to ask me who I wanted to call. Most times I've had voice assistants seemingly just pick one and call. It gave me the last four digits of the number's and asked me which one I wanted to call. It was quick, easy, and accurate! Once the call is made sound quality is excellent and with the the mics built in the soundbar for Alexa it picks up voice great and you can hear the person on the other end through the speakers perfectly. It's a great way to do a speakerphone call!

Great design! Great shave!
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The Norelco CareTouch Shaver Series 3000 is a simple electric shaver with good battery life and features. Most importantly I get a great shave with it and it's smooth over my skin!
Shave
This razor gives me a great shave! I'm very happy with it. Running it over my face is very smooth. I don't use shaving cream, just some water, and it works great. The cut is very close, as good or better than any other shave I've had from a blade or a different electric razor. I also don't need to go over the same spot forever to get ever hair. I'm very happy with the shave!

I'm very happy with the shave!
Design
I had two issues with previous electric razors I had that this one does not have. One razor I had used a detachable top so you could swap out the blades with other attachments. The problem was, the top would sometimes come off while I was shaving. It got worse over time, happening more frequently. This one doesn't have that problem because the top does not detach. Secondly, one electric razor I had, had the power button in a place I where I would accidently press it while shaving, turning the razor off. This happened way too much and was a real pain. This razor has the power button in a good position so that I don't do that. I also like the rubberized grip around it and it's a comfortable weight. The integrated flip-up trimmer is a nice bonus. This razor also fits very comfortably in my hand and is easy to hold.

Flip-Up Trimmer
I don't do much trimming and for what I do this works well. It works for trimming my side-burns and the hair around my ears. It's too big to get in my nose or ears. I've used this type of trimmer before and had it flip back up when I was trying to use it. That only happens when you go in reverse, which I'm sure you're not supposed to do. This one seems more firm and hasn't done that yet. So far, it's convenient and effective.

Battery Life and Display
The CareTouch 3000 series is rated for 60 minutes of usage on a charge, which I think is very good. It uses a lithium ion battery so that helps keep the weight down. One electric razor I had only had a symbol that would light up when the power was low and it needed to be charged. I like to have an idea of where it's at so I can plan if I'm going to be away for the weekend or something and not just charge it if I'm not sure. This razor has three bars to show the battery level. When it gets down to 5 minutes of time left it will show an orange light.

Ease of Use and Care
There's just one button to turn it on and off. It's that simple. It's also easy to rinse out with the push-button pop-up top. The blades are to be replaced once a year. It uses SH30 blades.

Can it be hardwired in for power so when i turn off the key it will automatically power down or do i have to use the cigarette lighter plug? I don' want to have to unplug it everytime i turn off the vehicle.
Yes, that's how it will be in most cases. Usually you at least need to have on "accessory power" in your car to get power to the power outlets in your car. So yes, it should go on and off automatically when you start and stop your car. That's how it works for me!
