Forget What You Know About TVs
on November 19, 2015
Posted by: TECHBEENGOOD
from AUSTIN
The LG 65EF9500 will make you question anything you imagine TVs should look like. I've been immersed in the image on this TV for only about 4 hours as I write this. I'm blown away. I used the initial out-of-the-box settings, and then I carefully made adjustments using recommendations provided by CNET, The differences were subtle, and my changes were probably unnecessary, but they are out there for owners who like to fuss with their TVs.
First, on standard TV. Crisp, colorful images, all dependent on the quality of the source, jump off of the beautiful screen. The sound quality isn't bad either, but please, get a soundbar, or better yet, a home theater system to go with this TV.
The LG includes a full suite of Apps. I went to the provided Youtube 4K movies that are free, online. Oh my. Oh my. Wife and I couldn't stop saying, "oh my". Beautiful beyond all imaginations.
I have an Amazon Prime account. Used the included Amazon App to enable my account on this TV. We went to see if they have some 4k free TV. Yep. Went back to Orphan Black which was apparently shot in 4k. Oh my. Oh my. Beautiful images beyond all measure.. Every subtle detail of make-up, wardrobe, city streets are as if you are standing in the scene the day it was shot. Checked out older X-Files Series-1 from 2 decades ago. Only 1080p. Spectacular. As was Star Trek original series. Spectacular. The Amazon App on the LG is as good as any stand-alone App. Blu-ray DVDs viewed with the TV are gorgeous.
This TV explodes all ideas you might have about how good a TV can look. Detailed. Colorful. Crisp. Exceptional contrast.. Perfectly fine brightness. And, it's even fun to use. The LG WEB interface is easy and convenient. The TVs aesthetics are very attractive. Slim. clean looking, and taking minimal space for a large screen. Love it. I've had only high end TVs for many years. None are even close.

Very nice entry level Soundbar
on November 16, 2015
Posted by: TECHBEENGOOD
from Austin
Summary: Attractive, easy to set-up, the Insignia 2.1 Soundbar provides a nicely balanced sound that easily improves upon the sound of (probably) every flat screen TV out there. I like it and will try matching it up with a couple of my TVs. It certainly sounds better than the TV.
Why do I need a Soundbar? I love the new flatscreen TVs which offer beautiful pictures, take up almost no space, and can connect to all types of media sources. I don’t love the sound of these new TVs. Voices can be hard to hear clearly, the bass is phony, and it’s hard to get any volume that isn’t shrill. Trying to enjoy an action flick with special sound effects is a joke. I’ll predict that every TV owner will eventually go out looking for better sound for their flat screen. Soundbars are one of several solutions.
The Insignia 2.1 speaker with subwoofer is probably considered an entry level solution. Setting up required very little effort. Read the instructions. There are a few procedures you need to accomplish to get sound. I did a quick test setup to make sure I liked the Soundbar before I committed to hanging it on the wall. I plugged both the “bar” and the subwoofer into a power-strip (not provided). Then I connected my test signal (I used my iPhone(!!!), but a TV is the usual input) using a 3.5mm-to-RCA jack cable (provided) to the “bar.” Make sure power-strip is on. I had to be sure to aim the remote at the front of the soundbar, pressed the power-on button, then pressed and held the Blue-tooth button on the remote. (BlueTooth connected automatically the next time.) Sound immediately filled the room.
Nice, smooth voices, far richer than the typical TV sound, and a nice bass rounding out the bottom. The remote let me adjust the tone to switch between a natural balance (they call it THEATER), to a sound that emphasized voices (they call it NEWS), to somewhere in between. This SoundBar can get quite loud and fill a good sized room.
Things to know before you buy: You’re TV will need to have either an audio (RCA jacks) output or an optical output. Go into your TV settings to select external speakers — this will shut off your internal TV speakers. The sound bar is slim; it should easily fit under a TV whether its mounted on a wall or sitting on its stand. It’s very attractive, and big, but it generally disappears from view. The subwoofer is not boomy or unnaturally loud. There is a volume control and it can be brought to satisfying levels, but not furniture shaking levels. Theater level sub-bass volumes are the reason you buy much moe expensive home theater speakers and electronics. Let’s be reasonable. This Insignia SoundBar is an easy piece of electronics to live with.
What's great about it: Easy to set-up, nice sound improvement
What's not so great: Not full surround sound

Stunning video, demo quality
on April 23, 2015
Posted by: TECHBEENGOOD
from AUSTIN
I love the recent efforts to blend traditional widescreen (2.40:1) with IMAX's full-frame (1.78:1) images in the same movie. I first saw this in a recent Transformer movie, and it's quite neat. The transitions are seamless because they flow with the film. You have to be especially attentive, despite the dramatic flips between having the wide image (black top and bottom borders) and no borders. Beyond this cool gimmick, this is a wonderful opportunity to show off your home theater.

Wonderful classic sci-fi film of a Crichton book
on February 17, 2015
Posted by: TECHBEENGOOD
from AUSTIN
Michael Crichton's books have had a mixed success translated to movies. Viewers universally love Jurassic Park and even Coma. On the other hand, does anyone watch Congo or Timeline? The Andromeda Strain was brilliantly brought to the big screen by Robert Wise and is every bit as entertaining now as it was when I saw it in a movie theater. This is a nice addition to our film collection. it has 1970s pacing --- this is classic, thoughtful sci-fi, not modern, noisy film-making. You've been warned.
The movie has the original graphics and a wonderfully (remastered?) widescreen print which is far superior to my letter-boxed DVD. Not even close. Bright colors, crisp images, natural film grain, with no artificial edge enhancement. This is a wonderful presentation that is not likely to be improved upon.

Large capacity, useful and COLD.

Age:55-64
My experience has been quite good. This was a purely indulgent purchase. We come from a generation when you never want to run out of food or miss an opportunity during store food specials. This LG ends those fears. It simply soaks up frozen and refigerated foods. We love the open cabinet space and various door and specialty spaces.
I've placed calibrated thermometers in multiple locations in the frdge. It took almost 3 days for the temps to settle down, but now they are within a 4 degree range of the settings. (The LG does NOT show the temp, ONLY the settings. You must use your own thermometer.) The door space in my unit is only a couple of degrees higher, and only during periods of use. The drawers are usually colder than the open space of the fridge. My situation may be unique.
The low noise level is especially welcome. We loved our previous Maytag, but this is another level of quiet. We wondered about the extra depth, but the approx. 2" are not an issue for us. Tighter kitchens may present a problem.
I also called customer service with LG during the 1st 48 hours to understand why the fridge was taking so long to reach the settings. There is a language issue. The pleasant person on the phone struggled with anything other than the simplest presentation of facts, had no appreciation for humor, and was fairly quick to over-react to criticism. Her attachment to the script was frustrating. Most importantly, telling a customer that it's perfectly fine and normal for the temp setting to be 37 and the actual temp to be 42 is wrong. She did not understand that the "setting" is NOT the actual temperature. She then fussed around and helped me cycle through the demo/operational settings which may or may not have helped. The temperature did settle in another 24 hours nad has been perfect for weeks. Customer service needs some work..
I should also add that this purchase was originally made at another long-time national retailer who utterly failed to complete the delivery due to incompetence. Best Buy/Pacific handled sale and delivery with wonderful professionalism.

A bargain photo printer with easy wired/less setup
on December 28, 2013
Posted by: TECHBEENGOOD
from AUSTIN
I use it for:Photo printing
Verified Purchase:Yes
I won't write reviews until a month of more of use. I've already had a reasonable period to watch ink usage, compare photo prints with commercial printers, and use with my laptop and tablet. The Brother works flawlessly.
My 1st test was printing out an 8x10" color photo and comparing with a Snapfish print. Very slight color saturation difference, which I could easily correct. I don't want anyone to think this is an alternative to a high quality specialty printer with 8-11 color inks. But, considering the 3 color ink processing, you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality, ink usage and price equation. I can wallpaper my house with photos for very little!!
Wireless setup was quick and easy for my Mac environment. Black & white printouts are fine. Paper handling is reliable --- and I pull high quality gloss photo paper through the Brother without problems.

A grand name continues its wondeful tradition

Verified Purchase:Yes
I owned Marantz 30 years ago when it was among the premium of brands. These newer home theater electronics are a reminder of why Marantz was held in such high regard. Performance is exceptional, no feature is left out, and setup is very easy despite the features.
I'll admit that I ignored the instructions and simply wired everything together before I started the built-in setup routine. I'd go so far as to recommend the same to anyone else. It makes little sense to connect only the TV so you can follow on-screen instructions to connect speakers and external devices. Those instructions seem to ignore the difficulty of installing into those built-in cabinets most end users now use.
Speaker setup results in especially nice sound quality. Device setup is just as easy and the Marantz allows customized menus so family can recognize them. Internet channel recognition was straightforward after the network was connected. IPOD recognition and Airplay worked flawlessly. Thought I'd learn to use Pandora, as long as it was available. Easy and fun to do. Followed instructions to upgrade firmware. Worked. Followed instructions to add the IPHONE app for receiver control. Worked. I may have forgotten to note that everything sounds great.
I use Logitech's Harmony ONE remote, so I can't comment on the Marantz's. It does have too many hard to read small buttons and the layout is awkward. Who needs it? Get a Logitech and make your family happy. I'd like to balance this review with some complaints. Still working on that.

Edit of review: about that freezer middle drawer
October 5, 2014
I would probably lower the score by 1/2 star after several months of use. You may feel differently. . . . That cute middle slide drawer in the freezer needs a redesign. It occasionally pops out of its track with very little effort. It does not pop back in quite so easily. We've not yet figured out what we've done wrong but with unusual caution and we can avoid the problem. Busier families with kids will not be so fortunate. It'll be an aggravation.

Google Home
“Hey, Google . . . play “Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young” and so it was done. Google Home used the Pandora account I just entered, and a rather smooth, well balanced music playback began. It could get loud without harshness out of a cute beer-mug sized device. Without any other command, Pandora was now playing. Seemed like magic to my visitors who were listening in to my conversation with Google Home while I was setting it up.

Seemed like magic to my visitors who were listening in to my conversation with Google Home while I was setting it up.
Set up took less than 10 minutes, but I don’t have many of the partner products (NEST, Philips Hue, SmartThings, IF) that Google Home operates with right out of the box. But Google Home has a nice bag of tricks with which to work. With the right Chromecast enabled speakers, you can apparently get the house rocking relying on Pandora, Spotify, Google Play, Youtube Music, or Tunein to provide the tunes.
Both my wife an I are getting a kick out of challenging Google to provide weather reports, news updates, or filling in our grocery list (using Google Keep). It’ll do a very accurate job of answering trivia questions and has no trouble deciphering our voice commands. It could provide the names of local restaurants and addresses, but couldn’t schedule a table for us. It could list where movies were playing, but not when. Google Home easily picked out our voices over a playing TV and was quick to respond. It wasn’t ready with TV schedules, however . . yet.
For me, the real excitement begins if/when Google operates my Logitech Harmony Theater system hubs, my HomeBrite Devices, or maybe lets us order from some online stores. I have no trouble recommending the Google Home device, but I’m also expecting ti to expand its partner list. These are wonderfully useful gadgets, but they rely on Google to play nicely with a variety of other products that I want to control.

Have you got "multiple" networks? Read.
December 7, 2016
I discovered an aggravation in recent days with my Google Home. if you've set up a roaming or extended network in your home, there is a potential problem. (Others with a simple, single router, network can stop reading.) At some point, typically after moving your Google Home or manually quitting then restarting WiFI, you may discover Google Home can't connect to your network. Huh? You've got it extended everywhere in your house and you have a problem ONLY with Google Home? Seems silly. Well, Google Home wants to see your original setup device (phone/tablet) on the same BRANCH of your network. Anything else creates a crisis. Start over, be sure to find the Google device with your setup App on your phone/tablet, and re-establish the connection. Be patient, it will reconnect.

Automatic recharging keeps this Roomba robot vacuum powered so that it's ready to go.

By TECHBEENGOOD
from Austin
I WILL volunteer to vacuum. Of course, I haven’t developed my wife’s skills or strategies for coping with our home’s diverse floor landscape. All those transitions to wood, tile, various carpet types and back again, through a forest of chair legs, blind hallways, low hanging sofas, beds and chairs, and scattered debris, most of it mine. I’m a work in progress. Which brings us to this iRobot Roomba 890. Kudos to the teams of skilled designers, engineers, of focus groups who built and tested a robot that so successfully accomplishes that which has confounded me for so many years. My wife, our specialist, will have the final judgment on the Roomba.
Setup requires a minimal amount of planning. The Roomba’s charging station needs to be located where the Roomba can find it, be plugged in and docked. At this point, after a few hours to fully charge, you have a working automated, intelligent vacuum. Hate technology? Don’t need it. Press the CLEAN button (x2) whenever you’re ready to vacuum. For me, it’s as I’m heading out the door. And I love technology, just not vacuuming tech. Most others will want to take advantage of the Roomba’s ability to schedule vacuuming sessions, get notifications, and monitor cleaning cycles from the app. Once it’s on your home Wi-Fi, a connected Roomba will work with Amazon’s Alexa.
I’m not going to detail the Wi-Fi connection process. It’s not that it’s lengthy but it requires your close attention to details. My efforts required some restarts, but then, I’m notorious for trying everything first with minimal scanning of the instructions. Don’t try that with the Roomba. Also, you may be jolted by the “unsecured network message” (on the iPhone), but that only indicates a temporary setup condition while configuring the nearby Roomba. Roomba’s online support provides easy-to-follow help if you get into trouble. Don’t be reluctant to reset or restart, as this solved all my issues.
How does this Roomba 890 work? Navigation is effective, as it deals with obstacles, drops, rises, and transitions without problems. Watching the Roomba negotiate my tangle of wires, sneak under our low sofas (low even for our manual upright), and easily climb over our various throw and area carpets is impressive. In places we were sure it would get stuck, it either solved the predicament or avoided it. The combination of sensors, thoughtfully designed rollers and spinners, and logic makes these Roombas special. Oh, and it is surprisingly quiet. We didn’t have to adjust the TV volume, even as it maneuvered around our chairs. At just shy of 90 minutes it found its way back to the charging dock.
My wife’s evaluation? She’s quite willing to leave our home in the tireless, relentless, fastidious care of our new robotic housecleaner. The iRobot Roomba 890 is pretty competent. I think you know my feelings.

I checked again
August 1, 2017
Well, now you've got me wondering if I was sloppy in my review. So, I ran another test today, several weeks after my initial posting. I set my Roomba off on its task by double-clicking the CLEAN button. Set my stopwatch . . . and . . . you can almost set a clock by my Roomba. On my iPhone I got 1:29:10.25 (89 minutes) of vacuuming. Yes, I have 85% hardwood floors (with several large oriental rugs), tile in the bathrooms, and the remainder in a carpeted bedroom. And I do hear the motor working a bit harder on carpet. Your experience will certainly differ, but I'm confident you'll get well past an hour.

What is the sound decible? I have sensory issues and your BC vacuums tend to be extremely loud
Sound level for our vacuums is a pet peeve of mine, so I make it a point of measuring. With my uncalibrated iPhone App I measure my house on a typical day at 44dB. We're quiet. This vac kicks the noise up to 75-77dB from a yard or two away. The pitch, overall, is not too bad, except for a bit lower volume, higher frequency sound I find annoying. This isn't a quiet vac. Ask the BB store support to fire one up for you. I should note that various vacs of the same model might have differing volumes and pitches.

You'll even have 7x more battery life with Target Wake Time that reduces network interference, allowing your devices to remain in sleep mode longer. The MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system is a part of Velop's modular system, so if you need more coverage, just add more nodes. Plus, setup is fast with the Linksys app, so you can enjoy the next evolution of Wi-Fi in minutes.
Does this have to run on battery?
Each device must be plugged in. No battery necessary.

Cut down on cooking time with this Bella Pro air fryer oven dehydrator. Top and bottom heating elements ensure exceptional cooking results, while the 10.5-quart capacity holds plenty of food. This Bella Pro air fryer oven dehydrator features a touch-screen control panel for quick operation, two nonstick racks for crisping and one pan for baking convenience.
Does the drip pan go underneath the heating element or above?
The instructions on Page 5 of the instructions (item 17) say to only place the drip pan on the oven floor, under the heating elements. This is in direct conflict with the diagram on page 8, where the drip tray is drawn so that it is clearly on the first pair of guides (runners) ABOVE the heating elements, and not on the oven floor. The fact is, it will not sit on my upper guides. It only rests on the oven floor.

When spills happen, the Braava jet m6 robot is always on call—ready to head to the spot and take them on. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa, “Have Braava mop in front of the kitchen counter”, and it heads out and gets to work. Always learning your home and your cleaning habits, it can offer customized schedules that work around your life—even suggesting extra cleanings during pollen season. Using Precision Jet Spray, it loosens dirt and sticky messes without spraying furniture, rugs, or walls—all without any effort from you, making your mopping tasks a thing of the past. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

Can you use Swiffer Dry and Wet Jet Pads on this like the Braava 300?
The m6 appears to sense the unique hole pattern on the mounting plate of each pad type to identify the dry or wet pads and perform tasks accordingly. If I'm correct, it seems unlikely that a generic pad will work properly.

We have a pretty big open floor plan and own a roomba i series that empties itself. The only thing holding me back on purchasing the mop is if there is a mechanism where it goes back to its station and can refill with water or does it stop when out?
Our m6 heads back to its dock and the App indicates that it needs a refill. The mop is a bit more hands-on that the vacs.
