Good performing headphones with one problem..
on March 11, 2018
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I've always been a fan of SONY's headphones because of the sound quality and these are no exception. Sound is full and clear with plenty of detail. Battery life is very good and comfort is good. The only problem I have is with them being touted for active peeps. Well, the fit (for me anyway) isn't great for a lot of physical activity. I have to refit them fairly often as they slip down. This could be a problem for runners or crossfit peeps. It could just be my ears but worth mentioning. Overall, very nice and comfortable headphones with great sound.

Powerful & feature rich receiver for the money!
on February 26, 2018
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I've been looking to upgrade to 4k hdmi and Dolby Atmos. I've been putting it off for a while but at this price range...couldn't pass it up! A 5.2 channel 4k receiver with bluetooth for less than $300 is a great deal!
Setup was a breeze, sound is stellar, and the power is more than enough for most folks. The 4 hdmi with 2 outs and a audio return is enough to satisfy most enthusiasts.
I love the sleek simplicity of the unit too. It looks sexy! The remote is handy and not overly burdened with numerous useless buttons.
No AM antenna is a little bit of a disappointment, but honestly...I usually listen online when I want a local broadcast anyway. No network connectivity is another missing piece, but at this price I can't complain.
Bluetooth works well and is fairly easy to setup. Makes using your iPad or phone with several music apps a breeze.
Bottom line, if you want a powerful unit with a good amount of connections and features you will be hard to find a better model at this time. I fully recommend it.

Good program for the money
on December 12, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I've used a plethora of photo editing programs through the years and Photoshop Elements has always been one of my favorites. It's always been, for the money, one of the best options out there and this release is no different.
To be totally honest with you, I haven't used Elements in a few years as I've been hooked on a freeware software. This one caught my eye so I thought I'd give it a go. It is much simpler to use than previous versions and has some pretty cool new features like the "open closed eyes" and the changes within the Organizer. I've never really like these type tools in the past but this one is actually very cool.
For the money, this is an easy recommendation. It is powerful and affordable. But, honestly, if you don't spend a lot of time working with this type of software and need something for occasional use...it might be worthwhile to check out the free alternatives. Good luck!

Good, not great cordless vacuum
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
This is my third wireless vacuum so I've had a few to compare it to. This unit is packaged good and secure. It feels solid and like a quality product in your hands and when using it.
Suction power is average but I had no trouble picking up anything on both carpet and hard wood floors. It makes the transition from each flawlessly.
Battery life is quite good and I can make several passes in my smaller house before it needs charging. I always put these type batteries on a timed outlet that cuts off after delivering a six hour charge. I feel like it maintains the batteries better and thus far has worked well for me.
The attachments for the unit work well and I haven't experienced any clogging troubles. The unit holds a decent amount and emptying it is easy.
My only complaint is the heft of the unit and it is pretty top heavy. But for this performance as this price range it is a good buy. I recommend it.

Outstanding wireless earbuds!
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
Let me start off by saying this is my third set of these style earbuds. Most have performed well, some have sounded quite good, but none have been the best overall...except these!
The sound and volume levels are great on these. The details in music and crispness of audio for books and podcasts is amazing for this price range.
The overall construction seems very solid and well made. Battery life is very good as well. Probably the best I've had in a set of earbuds.
The cable clip may sound gimmicky but it really performs well and prevents tugging from one side if placed correctly.
These are, to me. the perfect earbuds for athletes, runners, etc. But they would also be great for anyone that wants a comfortable set of wireless earbuds with fantastic sound. I highly recommend them!

Been wanting one of these for so long! Very Happy
on November 8, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I've been researching and checking on these for a few years and I finally decided on this Honeywell.
The unit itself came very well packaged and the instructions were easy to follow. I have an older oil burning furnace with only two wires, so no power wire. I had to purchased the "Venstar ACC0436 2-Wire Kit for all 24VAC Thermostats" to supply power to the device. It was all very easy to install and works great!
I opted away from the "learning" thermostats and wanted this one because of the easy to use app and attractive display. It works great and I have no complaints. The app is great and easy to setup. It is so handy to have control away from home. I haven't had any wifi connectivity issues yet and I hope this gives me years of service.

Nice alternative to the "other" brand!
on November 1, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
Let me start of by saying I have never owned one of these units. I was totally a newb with this type of vacuum. That being said, this unit is fairly impressive.
From the ease of setting it up to the quality of the unit itself has been a pleasant surprise. The app works great and is very easy to use.
Vacuum performance seems to be very good. That being said I don't currently have any pets in the home which cuts down on hair tremendously. I do have a teenage daughter though!
The vacuum works great as far as keeping things cleaned up. It seems to get up next to edges of the wall very well and it is low enough to get under my cabinets bases and end tables in the living room.
Emptying the unit and maintenance is simple and honestly, I don't have anything to complain about right now. I'm very pleased with it and highly recommend it.

Good trimmer for the money
on November 1, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I've had a couple of these wireless trimmers with varying results. Some work fair but others just lack the power of a nice wired trimmer. This one doesn't have that problem. It works great and has plenty of power.
The design is light and comfortable to use and the battery power is stellar. The amount of detail you can get with the included attachments is also quite impressive. And as I mentioned earlier, it has plenty of power for all your grooming needs.
The unit just feels like a quality piece in your hands and is a real joy to use. It doesn't feel flimsy or fragile like some of the units I've owned in the past.
This would make a great gift for any man in your life that takes pride in his grooming!

Yet another hit from ACER!
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I build new desktops for friends and family fairly often. ACER has quickly become my favorite for great performing and affordable monitors. Their quality, performance, and setup is as good as it gets.
This new model from ACER is more of the same, with the same being a very good thing. LED is bright and while it will need some calibration if you're picky it looks pretty good straight out of the box!
This unit is light, thin, and easy to move around. Build quality is what you'd expect from ACER in that it is nice and sturdy.
As I've said, I'm a big ACER fan and this is another great example of their quality monitors. Enjoy!

Excellent Whole Home Wi-Fi System!
on October 3, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
D-Link brought their A-game with this system! The product is one of the easiest I've ever set up and takes care of dead areas with the seamless extender. I have a smaller home but do have some thick walls that can cause trouble for my Wi-Fi signals with a traditional router. This system takes care of that problem with a seamless transition to the extender.
I've tried a couple of different inexpensive routers used in AP mode to fix my weak spots and none have worked as good as this unit. I highly recommend it to smooth out those weak signal spots in your home.

We live in the country, and can only use satellite internet. It is not a real strong signal, and can be affected easily by weather. We also have a log home, which blocks the signal in certain areas of the house and porch. Would this help in our situation?

Honestly, any router can only be as good as the internet connection it has to pull from. Your problem sounds more like a internet service problem than a wifi problem. That being said, when you do have a decent internet feed these would help with giving you a better wifi signal through the logs and other areas blocking your signal. Good luck!

Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>
 

How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.

While I'm not familiar with either of those models you mentioned it is about the same as an old Hoover bag machine I have and the Dyson we have at work. I'd say it is in the average loudness range for an upright. Hope this helps and you should give it a try because the roller design does seem to prevent tangling up the pet hair ;)
