Another great projector from Epson!
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
We have used a few of these projectors at work and honestly, we couldn't be happier with them. Epson makes a quality product that performs great and lasts!
The projector is easy to configure and has just enough connections for a simple home theater or outdoor setup. Another HDMI would be nice but at this price point, can't really complain.
Colors are vibrant and unless you are in a very bright room it has deep and rich colors. Obviously the built in speakers aren't much but they will work in a pinch. Anyone with a HD setup should have another audio option already.
The 720p argument. Honestly, this unit is projecting around a 100" screen and it would be hard to distinguish between this and a 1080p projector casting the same signal. How do I know this? Because I've seen the same signal on our other 1080p Epson projector. So don't sweat it, save a few bucks, pick this one up, and enjoy :)

Great little cordless vac for hard floors
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I've used a couple of these units that we have at work so wanted to try this one out at home. The unit is built well and has a straight forward assembly. I didn't need the instructions but still glanced at them to make sure I wasn't screwing up.
On hardwood floors and laminate, this thing is impressive! It performs wonderfully. On carpets it does a good job too but might not have the horsepower for heavily pet haired areas.
Battery life is another plus with this device. I can do my entire small house and it will barely drop a notch. I recommend letting your cordless devices get almost dead from time to time and have a timed outlet for letting them charge. Seems to help the battery maintain a longer life.
The handheld feature and attachments work like they should and work well. The only downside for me with these vacuums are the top heavy design. I realize they have to be for the versatility but they do take some getting used to. They are a bit of a challenge to store as the head is so much heavier. Not to say it is bulky or burdensome to use because it isn't.
Overall, I really like the unit. For the money, it is a bit pricey for what it is. But, it is a fairly powerful and very well made cordless vacuum.

Very surprised, love it!
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC
I wasn't sold on the overall design of this speaker. Well, it is great! I love the sound and most of all the comfort of it!
First off, it is Bose so the unit is packed and protected very well. The unit is simple to control and fit perfectly around my neck.
Sound quality is very good and despite the speaker being a few inches away from your ears it sports decent bass! It performs well with podcasts, books, and music.
Battery life is quite good and can make a long walk and several hours of work around the house with ease.
I wasn't sure how this unit would work for me but I'm pleasantly surprised. It is perfect for walks and working around the house. Reason being it has excellent sound quality but you can still hear your surroundings if need be. The only drawback I can think of is that these wouldn't be a good choice while using power equipment during mowing, trimming, or using a chainsaw. That, and they do get a little warm after wearing them a while. But I still love them for walking, hiking, house work, etc. Highly recommended!

Another winner from Keurig!
on September 8, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
from Burnsville, NC 28714, USA
Let me start off by saying I have quite a bit of experience with these machines. We have used them in the office for years and this is my third unit. Neither of my previous units actually failed. My first was used for six years and the buttons started jamming and became aggravating to use so I put it up in storage and purchased a used unit from a friend that still works perfectly.
This model has some small, but helpful, upgrades to the older units I have. First off is the new removable lower holder. While my others did this as well, this model seems to be made for a Yeti and it fits in perfectly.
The second major improvement for me is the auto shutoff feature. I had one of the Belkin switches on the old one that I would cut off when not in use. This one automatically shuts off to save power after a few hours and I love that!
As far as the workmanship and effectiveness of the machine, it is great. This is my favorite Keurig to date and I highly recommend it.

Great gaming laptop for the money
on July 19, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
I love the design of this laptop. From the color scheme to the layout it just looks like a mean machine, and it is...for the most part. Build quality and sturdiness is always a concern for me with HP laptops. I've honestly never been a big fan, and this one isn't particularly any more solid than others I've used. Hopefully it will hold up.
Under the hood, the i7 processor does its job and does it very well. Windows 10 with the 8gig of memory runs very well as do the games I've tried out. Granted, most of my games are older. But the GPU is strong enough for most modern games at 1080p, just don't expect to run 60fps+ on most at this price range.
Sound is above average, but most serious gamers are going to be using a decent headset anyway.
The biggest drawback to the laptop is the lack of a SSD. I know this cuts the cost down a good chunk because 1tb SSDs are still fairly costly. But with an i7, 8gig of ram, GTX graphics, and Windows 10...the hard drive is certainly the bottleneck. It is a 7200 rpm so it isn't terrible, but for those of us that are used to the SSD speed, it is noticeable.
Overall, despite the lack of a SSD, this is a stellar performer and a very nice gaming laptop. For the money, I think it is a really good value.

Best In-Ear Headphones Yet!
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
Let me start off by saying I've purchased several different brands of these bluetooth in-ear headphones. So I have a little bit of knowledge on fit, sound, battery, etc.
Not to beat around the bush, these are my new favorites. From overall sound to the comfort they are fantastic. Battery life is good too. But the biggest drawback to these types of headphones has been them slipping out or being unbalanced on your neck making them uncomfortable. I'm happy to tell you that these stay where you want them. The little adjustable loop on the cord is great and does what it is supposed to.
Sound is crisp and clear. I use headphones more and more for audio books these days than for music. These perform well with each.
I really have no cons with these, if I had to pick one...maybe price? But from my standpoint, the features, quality, comfort, and battery life...they're worth it. Just get them ;)

Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.

Good sounding bar, little high on the price.
on July 10, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
First off, this unit is solid. It seems to be built very well and is a beautiful unit. The features and specs are good and about what you expect to see in most soundbars these days.
Sound is clear and precise and dialogue/vocals are these speakers strong point. The built in woofer will be plenty for the majority of customers but for those that have already had a unit with a separate sub or a dedicated surround system may find the bass output lacking. For a smaller and quieter bedroom unit, this is a fine unit. But I don't feel like it has enough punch for a living room.
Price wise, this is in the upper end and given the sub par bass performance I do feel like this unit is a bit overpriced. As I mentioned before though, the dialogue and vocals are really good.
Overall, it is a nice speaker and is built well. I do recommend it, but for a bedroom setup and not as a primary living room/home theater type setting.

Great sounding convenient headphones
on July 7, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
I've had a couple of different models of these in ear bluetooth headphones and these are one of my favorites.
Packaging was solid and came across as a much higher end headphone set. They come with a charger (USB) and extra silicone tips.
Connecting and use is a breeze, fitment, and comfort are great. Battery life is quite good. I can take them out for a multi-hour hike and be just fine. Sound quality is pretty decent for this price range for both music and books/podcasts.
Overall, I'm very pleased with these and for this price range they are a great deal! I highly recommend them!

Beast of a bluetooth speaker!
on June 27, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
This thing is a tank! It is built solid, sounds great, and has plenty of nice features! Sound quality is among the best I've heard for a portable speaker. The sheer size of it allows for a full bodied bass but still nice highs for vocal show watching or podcast listening.
One of my favorite things is the battery life. I leave this thing on my back porch for days at a time before charging and I watch multiple shows several nights a week.
Yes this is a bit pricey, but for the size and sound quality it is an impressive speaker and I'm very happy with it. It is perfect for outdoor entertaining, whether that be with plenty of friends enjoying music or just yourself watching some shows on the iPad.

Meet your large household’s high-bandwidth requirements with this tri-band Linksys Max-Stream Wi-Fi router. It performs at up to 4 Gbps for high-speed Internet access, and its MU-MIMO technology lets everyone at home enjoy smooth, simultaneous gaming and media streaming on multiple devices. This Linksys Max-Stream Wi-Fi router has six adjustable external antennas for maximum area coverage
Posted by: RaiderRodney
With all the new technology in routers it can be tough to keep up. But I've always had great luck with Linksys products so I'm not surprised with how this unit performs....great!
This model is very powerful and has great reception throughout my house (and the neighborhood). Setup was a breeze and I honestly have no complaints at all.
Speeds are about as close to a wired connection as you can get based on my ISP (100meg connection). The difference would never be noticed in real-world use.
For the money, this is a great router and it should provide many years of faithful service so don't hesitate to pick one up ;)

Provide internet access to guests without sharing your personal network password. Orbi is ready right out of the box and compatible with your ISP. Just use the Orbi app to get started with better WiFi, everywhere in minutes.
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 ;)
