Great features, video, sound, and size!
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The EpiqVision EF12 is a compact and feature rich projector! The image quality is excellent and, unlike any other projector I've used, the sound is great!
Features
The EpiqVision EF12 is a laser projector with Android TV built-in. Because it has Android TV built-in you can access a lot of content without using a separate device. It seems to support any streaming service accept for NetFlix. For some reason you cannot install Netflix on it. It says it's not compatible with this device. Like any Android TV it also has Chromecast built-in. I've already found that to be very helpful as you would expect on a projector but can't play NetFlix over Chromecast either. It does play over HDMI of course. I've used a lot of projectors in the past but never worked with a laser projector. I'm guessing that's what gives it the excellent contrast ratio. It has two HDMI ports, one of which actually supports HDMI ARC so you could connect it to a sound bar. There is one USB port. I plugged a USB mouse into it and that works fine. I also was able to plug in a video game controller and play games on it too. It has auto keystone correction which works very well. If you re-position the projector and need to correct it there is one button to press on the remote and it will do the keystone correction again. I haven't had to manually mess with the image settings at all.
Design
The feel of the remote and Android TV on this projector is more responsive and just feels better to use than other Android TVs that I've used. This is a very compact projector. It's easy to move or travel with. It has a great speaker built-in too! The sound by Yamaha is very good! It will fill a room nicely making voices easy to hear and with a good full range of sound and some good bass for the size. This is by far the best sound I've heard out of a projector! The fact that the projector is very quiet helps the sound too. I've used HDMI and the Chromecast to display things, including playing the audio. Since this projector has such great sound it's an awesome bonus that there's actually a Bluetooth Speaker Mode you can turn on! It's one button press on either the projector or the remote and it's active. Then just use your phone or other device and pair to it with Bluetooth like you would with any Bluetooth speaker. So not only do I like playing video on this but also listening to music!
Image Quality
The image quality on this is excellent! Images look sharp, flesh tones are accurate, and colors just look rich. Contrast ratio is often not very good with projectors but that's not the case with this one. I can see darker scenes and shades well. Colors are rich giving accurate flesh tones. I feel like I'm watching a TV - not a projector. The color is just good, rich, and even to the corners of the display. It's not the brightest projector but it seems brighter than I was expecting. So you may want to turn off the lights in the room. I think the "laser" technology is what gives it that HDR contrast ratio and the overall excellent color. There is no adjustment for the throw distance. You move the projector closer or farther from the screen to change the image size.

Easy to use earbuds with very good sound!
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
I'm loving the simplicity and sound quality of the Jib True ear buds. Skullcandy has made truly wireless earbuds that work great for a low price!
Design
They fit in my ears comfortably. Other tips are included to fit different ear sizes. The ear buds have 6 hours of battery life in each one and the case can recharge them to give them any another 16 hours of battery life from the battery in the case. The ear buds snap in the case magnetically, very easily. The lid of the case closes magnetically as well. The earbuds are very light and don't feel heavy in my ears at all or feel like they will fall out. The part that sticks out of my ear is fairly large and sticks out kind of far that doesn't bother me.
Controls
A series of taking the ear buds in and out of the case activates Bluetooth pairing. It was easy to pair them to my phone. The earbuds themselves each have a button you press in comfortably to activate. While it's easy to push it's also a button I don't push by accident which is great. They work well for phone conversations. The people I'm talking with have no problem hearing me and I an hear them loud and clear. You can change the volume by double-tapping the left or right ear bud button. The left for volume down and the right for volume up. Tap once for play/pause. Tap and hold to go to previous or next track on the left or right earbud. Given the limited input option I've found the controls to be pretty simple and they work very well. One concern of mine was that with separate earbuds I'd lose one easily. So far I haven't. One thing I like better about these then earbuds with a wire between them is I don't like having the them in my pocket with the wire between them and things like keys in the same pocket - when I don't want to wear them like a necklace when not in use. I actually prefer having these in the case in the pocket. I don't need to worry about the cord being pulled out of one of the earbuds or other wise damaged.
Sound
The sound quality on these is great, especially for the price. Whether I'm talking with someone on the phone or listening to music I hear great sound reproduction and nobody has had a hard time hearing me. Bass, treble, vocals, instrumentals, etc. that I've tried are reproduced well.

Simple, Quiet, and Powerful
on January 9, 2021
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The BlueAir Classic 480i powerful and simple to use air purifier with that can be contorlled on the actual unit or from an app. It's a large floor standing unit but is almost silent on "low" which is plenty for me. Unlike what the manual said, mine came with the more expensive, carbon based, "DualProtection" filter, as opposed to the less expensive "HEPASilent" filter. The manual is for a few different models so apparently the 480i includes the better filter.
Fan Speed and Noise Level
There are three fan speeds. On low, it's very quite! I actually had it running for 15 minutes or so and my wife asked me when I was going to turn it on. While it's very quite on low it still pushes through an impressive volume of air that you will feel when you walk by. On medium it's a bit louder and pushes a lot more air. On high, it's very loud but it moves a huge amount of air through on that setting, as it should.
BlueAir App
The BlueAir app for your phone is free and easy to use. You can easily control the 480i from the app, setting the fan speed, turning it off, or setting it on auto. The app also makes it easy to schedule run time - so you can set when it goes on and off every day. The built-in air quality sensors on the 480i provide data that you can see in the app. It tracks air quality over time for various contaminants. The app also found outdoor air quality data based on my location which was very cool to see and compare with my in-home air quality. Do be aware that the network connection requires 2.4GHz WiFi, according to a sticker on the 480i. So if you only have 5GHz WiFi enabled on your home network it will not work with the app.
Ease of Use
The 480i is very easy to use with touch sensitive buttons that are large and easy to see and press. Just lift the top flap to see informational icons and buttons. There are a few icons that change to warn you if air quality becomes poor - in case you're not checking the app. There are a few buttons to control fan speed or on/off as well as turning the automatic mode on/off. I've found that our air quality is usually excellent and it can run on low speed all the time - which is great because it's so quite.
Work from Home
The I've used it in a few different rooms in the house. My favorite thing about it is that it keeps the room fresh while I work from home with the door closed to my office all day. The air used to get kind of nasty and stagnant. There's no stagnant air with the 480i running and because it's so quiet I have no problem running it while I work.

Great Value Projector
on December 2, 2020
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
I'm impressed by the video output of the Core Innovations Projector. It's better than I expected and it's got a number of useful features for the price point!
Features
It comes with a remote control that provides basic media controls if you're doing local playback from a flash drive on the projector. Focus and keystone control are physical controls on the projector itself, not the remote, but the adjustments work well. I found they corrected the display as needed easily. There's a built in USB Type A port and MicroSD card reader for local playback of video, photos, and music. There is a simple built-in user interface for controlling playback of files from the flash media, including running slideshows, playing video files, and audio files using the remote. There are not a lot of options but it does the job and the remote works fine. There are two speakers built in that don't provide exceptional sound but do get the job done if you have a small room or audience. It was good to see it has two HDMI inputs and as well as one VGA. Many display devices don't include VGA anymore which can be handy if you end up needing to connect an old computer. It supports a 1080p signal coming to it though it downscales that because the native resolution is 800x480.
Picture Quality
With a lower resolution of 800x480 photos tend to look blocky. Color is good though. The color surprised me given the low contrast ratio that's stated. Video is really good on it in general. As with photos, video has good color and the motion helps hide the low resolution. I'm not saying you'll think that it's HD but it looked good, much better than I thought it would for watching video. This is great for my kids watching some shows!
In Summary
In a dark or darker room the Core Innovations projector plays video well and provides a large max screen size. The fan noise is very noticeable but I've still used it with the built-in speakers and I forget about the hum of the fan. There is a headphone jack if you want to connect external speakers. You can pay a lot more and get a lot more but I'm impressed at the video quality and features that the Core Innovations Projector delivers at this price point.

Great print quality and Duplexing in a small MFP
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The Pixma TR8620 InkJet MFP has great print quality and lots of features. It's also has great animated tutorials. The one for inserting new ink cartridges was very helpful!
Features
I was impressed that it has a paper tray underneath and a sheet feeder for the scanner too. There is also a rear sheet feeder to throw in a few pages or a different size of paper easily. It duplexes, which is a feature I love! Almost forgot, it has a large and bright tough screen which is well used for various animated tutorials. It really walks you through installing ink cartridges very well! I attached a pictures of what it looks like. It also shows you at the bottom of the screen as they are inserted - while it walks you through the process! Very simple and re-assuring. I attached a photo of what the screen looks like while you're inserting ink cartridges with this review. There are lots of built in printables too and more available on-line. You can find various kinds of graph paper, writing paper, and even patterns and backgrounds to print on paper to make it look cool. The printer will connect directly to various online services too like Google Classroom, Dropbox, Facebook, Evernote, OneDrive, and more.
Print Quality
It has great print quality but that's expected isn't it? Where it really stands out from the crowd is the quality of the draft print jobs! I'm used to draft printing being so light or so broken - with white lines through text or characters out of alignment, that it's almost not worth using. This has a draft mode that is worth using! It doesn't seem to do any of that. Text is aligned, you don't get lines through characters or images, and the quality is dark enough to be very usable. So I can get fast printouts without bad looking text!
Scanning
I've only done a little scanning so far but it does a good job with color and black and white - photo and text. The copy function also reproduced photos well - keeping colors just like the original. The Windows Scanning application for it seems very basic at first and is simple to use but if you dig around you can change the resolution, up to 600dpi, and other settings.
Strange
It takes two black ink cartridges! Very odd. The one is a higher quality ink. You don't seem to need to do anything special to switch. It seems to do that by itself. Anyway, I just thought it was odd. I don't think I mind it and I'm sure there are some advantages to it.
Overall
Canon did a great job with this MFP! I love the big touch screen, the text quality being good in draft mode, and the fact that it has the feeders and duplexing that I want! It's a complete package in a small package!

Powerful upright and handheld cordless vacuum
on November 3, 2020
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The Tineco A10 Tango is an excellent cordless vacuum! It's lightweight and powerful as an upright or a handheld, and I like the accessories that it comes with. It pulls lots of dirt out of the carpet and makes it easy to do so.
Design
I like the grip is gun-like, with a trigger, making it very easy to hold and use. You can pull the trigger, activating the vacuum only while it's pulled, or engage a lock to keep it running without holding the trigger. The top has a "Max" button you can push for more power at the expense of battery life. There are four filters on this thing. One you are to rinse and dry every three months and then replace once a year. Another you are to rinse and dry monthly and replace every 6 months. It comes with a second on of those filters and even an attachment to use the vacuum to clean it - very cool and easy to use! The various attachments are easy to take on and off with the large and simple rocker switches. They even include a wall-mount that holds the vacuum and three accessories.
Accessories
This comes with a bunch of accessories. I already mentioned the tool to help clean the one filter. Besides that it includes:
- The full size brush for carpets
- The full size foam roller for hard and flat surfaces
- The mini power brush for upholstered furniture and mattresses
- The 2 in 1 dusting brush, this attachment lets you use or not use the dusting brush making it like two attachments
- The crevice tool
They also include a small tool to remove hair that may be tangled around the rollers
Battery Live
They say 25 minutes of run time. I haven't timed it but would have guessed it is more. It's been plenty for a number of jobs I've used it for - running longer than I expected between charges.
Function
It works great! It's very easy to maneuver, turning it tightly with ease around corners, I've used it many times on carpet and hard flooring. I like the way they give the second roller for hard floors as many vacuums instead give you a way to turn off the roller instead. I've also been very happy with how well it pulls dirt out from the carpet, pulling out dirt from a carpet I thought would have been cleaner than it was. It seems powerful for a battery powered vacuum. I've also used it for cleaning a number of hard to get at vents in our house. The bristles are long on the brush attachment which made it possible to get into the vents farther, cleaning them more thoroughly.
Summary
This serves well as a handheld and upright cordless vacuum. Again, it has a lot of power for a cordless vacuum! There two minor negatives I can think of. One is when you empty dirt you may need to take out the parts in the chamber where the dirt is. The other negative is that when you use it as an upright I think the neck should be able to go down farther. It goes down far and you will get under most furniture and probably more than you would with any conventional upright, but it doesn't go down to where the handle touches the floor. The design makes the front where the roller is lift off the floor it you try to do that. With the power and functionality it's still easily a 5 star vacuum.

Great Kids Toothbrush!
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
My daughter's review:
I love the yellow color of the Quip Kids toothbrush. It feels good on my teeth when I am brushing. I like that it doesn't make a loud noise when I am brushing. It cleans my teeth well. At the end of the day my teeth are all sparkly. I wish I could stop the toothbrush when I am brushing if I need to do something quick. You can stop it but when you turn it back on it will start the timer over again. Overall I think it is an awesome toothbrush.
My comments:
The handle of the Quip is much thinner than other electric toothbrushes I've used and it's also much lighter. It is very quite as noted above. The app it different, instead of showing pictures of your teeth or other things that change as you brush, it just updates after you finish. It then gives you stats like how fast your strokes per minute, intensity, and coverage. While it's less exciting to watch than other apps I've seen it's been helpful for us. It's shown us that our daughter normally brushes a lot more on the top teeth than the bottom teeth. She's working on that and improving - which we can tell by the app. One really cool thing is that you can use points you get from brushing to get things like a free brush head!

Comfortable wireless headset with great sound!
on October 21, 2020
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
The ELO 7.1 AIR is an awesome headset! The sound is full and clear and it's very comfortable to wear!
Design
The plastic feels quality and looks great! They feel very comfortable, not heavy at all one the head. My favorite thing about the design, besides the sound, is the automatically adjusting fit. There's nothing to adjusting it. You just put it over your head and get a perfect fit every time. The fit around the ears is great too. The mic boom is detachable so if you're just listening to music you can take that off. I was wondering if it would feel heavy since it needs the rechargeable battery in it but it doesn't. My favorite thing is probably the fact that is has controls on the headset and they're very well designed! There's actually a control for the mic volume! There's a control for the speaker volume too of course. There's a button for mute and a power button. All are easy to distinguish by sized/design or location. The dials for the volume are awesome - they have a great feel that make control easy.
Sound
These sound great! Vocals, instrumentals, explosions from movies, it all sounds very good. I did some positional audio testing too with the 7.1 surround enabled and that was excellent. You enable the 7.1 surround and adjust other settings, lighting, and features in the Swarm software. I was surprised I even noticed a difference enabling the 7.1 audio for listening to a track on an album, a regular song. It sounded fuller, as you may expect, like it was more around me, when I changed it to 7.1. It wasn't a huge difference but noticeable and better than without! Those 50mm drivers really do their job! Bass is great on these! It's the kind of headset you can listen to music on and hear background sounds you never heard before. I had that happen with a song or two already.
Features
As I mentioned before, you install and use Swarm to configure the ELO 7.1 Air. I can output audio at up to 24 bit 96khz. You can adjust the EQs if you want manually. There are a bunch of quick settings with games in mind. You can turn on noise cancelation, voice effects (magic voice), and more. I had a lot calls on it already and the quality was always great. No issues with anyone hearing me and I could hear loud and clear. Swarm also lets you adjust the lighting of the headset, as I mentioned earlier. While it's advertised for PC and Mac I wanted to see if the headset would work on anything else. I tried and it did work on a Chromebook and an Android phone running Android 10. So don't buy it for those because it may not work on yours and I didn't try the mic, plus there's no app to configure it, but if you have the ELO 7.1 you may get more use out of it than you thought! On the phone I had to use a USB-A adapter of course.

Great feel and design with awesome lighting!
on October 21, 2020
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
I love the size, feel, layout, and features of the Vulcan TKL! It's a great keyboard with a well thought out efficient design and it has lots of software customizable with features giving a lot of value for the money in this gaming keyboard.
Design
I like the space saving choices on this keyboard. There are no dedicated media control buttons, other than volume and mute. I am glad they kept the volume and mute. The top of the keys are very short, vertically. This isn't a bad thing, it just lets more light out - I think it's very cool! There's very little room above the function keys, keeping the overall dimensions small. The volume dial is great! While it isn't really special or creative in theory it's very well implemented with soft and quiet yet has a solid click-click-click feel (not sound) as you turn it. You can make a large change in volume very quickly or one notch very easily too. Even the simple but brilliant fact that instead of having a caps lock like on the caps lock key or somewhere else on the keyboard the key just changed color to white when it's on! I was impressed when I noticed that!
Feel
The keys have a great feel. While the top of the keys seem smaller the space from center to center seems to be normal as I like typing on it and don't have any problems with the key size or design. The keys don't need to go the whole way down to activate them, there is a lot of travel if you do. It's a great typing experience though. The Titan mechanical switches seem great to me! Key presses are fast and responsive, also giving a good feel.
RGB Lighting and Swam
The lighting looks very bright on this keyboard! You can turn it on or off, change the setting, or adjust the brightness on the keyboard itself. Install the Swarm software for full customization. Just a bit about Swarm...Besides customizing the keyboard lighting, Swarm lets you assign macros, remap keys, set a hot key to launch an application, or even start a timer. There are tons of built in macros for lots of games or you can make your own. One interesting feature is AIMO which they refer to as an "intelligent lighting system" or "living light". It's very cool! When enabled, which it is by default, the keyboard automatically does different cool things as you type. For instance it may light the keys you just typed on differently for a short time. It just changes and does different things. They call it "organic" in the way it works and that's a fair way to describe it. I like this because rather than going through all the different preset options or making your own it does some very cool things on it's own without just running the same pattern continuously. I posted two pictures of a quick gaming layout I made with the Swarm key illumination settings. I'm not sure the pictures do it justice but they give you a good idea of what the lighting looks like and how much light you can see from the side.

Great drinks! Great Value!
on October 12, 2020
Posted by: hotice
from Lebanon, PA
Simple and Effective
I'm very happy with the DeLonghi EC260! It's a great little espresso and cappuccino maker! For the results you get at this price it's a great value!
Design
I like the all black and stainless steel look. The black is mostly or all plastic but it looks good and doesn't show finger prints easily. The drip tray can be removed and the grille lowered so that regular mugs can fit under. The tray and grille go in and out easily. The knob in the front and center is a good size and has a plastic or hard rubber grip going around it, making it easy to turn. As you turn the knob it firmly but quietly snaps into position, making it easy to choose the selection you want. The cappuccino/steamer nozzle moves around easily but stays in the position it's needed in. I like the way you can swing it completely inside the frame of the unit, over the drip tray when you're done with it - both to catch drips and for easier storage. The water tank is easy to remove and fill. You can see how much water is left by looking at it from the front. There's internal storage for whichever coffee filter you're not using. The manual says you can use pods with it too.
Simplicity
There's no timer, display, or crazy settings. It just does what you tell it when you tell it. There is the dial in the front and a lever on the right hand side. In the front you choose between on, off, steam, or coffee/hot water. If you set it to steam or on you wait until the green "Ready" light is lit. When it does you're ready to use the lever on the right to steam or select the coffee/hot water option and make your beverage. I never used a steamer or espresso maker before and was wondering how hard it would be to make. It's not hard at all and the results have been excellent!
Cleaning
I'm very happy with how this cleans. With a number of different parts and nozzles I wasn't sure how that would go. The steaming nozzle is easy to take off and clean. The portafilter (the thing with the large handle that holds the filter) and filters are also easy to clean. I'm sure if you left coffee in it for a long time it would be a mess but cleaning it or even just giving the parts a good rinsing shortly after use is easy. The drip trays and grille are also easy to clean.
Performance
It makes a great drinks! The espresso comes out strong and the steamer works just as it should! One of my favorite things to make is actually steamed milk with maple syrup and then cinnamon sprinkled on top. Adults and kids love that one and it's one of my favorites. It also makes a great hot chocolate using steamed milk and chocolate syrup. I never had a steamer to use before so it's fun to experiment!

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!
