Basic, Lightweight Wireless Headphones
on July 13, 2017
Posted by: iconoclast
from Houston, TX
The JLab Audio - Epic2 Sport Wireless Earbud Headphones are lightweight and compact. They pair easily with my iPhone.
Pros: lightweight and compact, charge quickly, hooks over ears, so should be stable when exercising.
Cons: not as comfortable as other headphones I have used, even with multiple different earphone plugs. Does not have bass/treble adjustments like similarly-priced units.

Sporty little Bluetooth speaker
on May 4, 2017
Posted by: iconoclast
from Houston, TX
The Polk Bit speaker is sporty and powerful. Just clip it onto your clothing or bag, pair it with your smartphone or tablet, and you're good to go. Easy hands-free "walking and talking" or listening to music. Or, use the Bit in place of your phone's speaker for conference calls, watching videos, or streaming music.
The Bit charges using a USB outlet on your computer, car charger or phone charger. It has a weather-resistant case, making it good for casual athletes.

Great Wi-Fi Network with Poor Software
on February 22, 2017
Posted by: iconoclast
from Houston, TX
Before I received the Velop three-node Wi-Fi network, I had dead spots in my home where I could not use the Internet. The Velop "mesh" network solved that issue.
LinkSys put a lot of thought into the system's design and packaging. Each router node is a sleek, white tower with a small footprint, smaller than 3" x 3" and about 8" tall.
The issues are with the LinkSys software--not the hardware. You must download an iPhone or Android app to set up the network. In principle, this sounds good, but in practice, the app behaves more like beta software than a complete software product. I easily downloaded the app and started to set up my W-Fi network. But when I looked ahead to the next step, I got stuck and had to start all over.
It took about 15 minutes to set up the network. First, you set up the first node. When it is active, you place the second node in another location, and it connects to the first one. When the second node is active, then you place the third node in another location and it connects to the network.
Sounds simple. The problem came when I tried to connect two wireless HP printers. By the way, I am pretty tech savvy and have done this many times before. But Velop did not "see" my printers or showed them as inactive, and the app has no way of deleting a device.
I started an online chat with LinkSys to solve the printer connection issue. They directed me to a dedicated Velop tech support phone line. After almost two hours with the tech support guy doing a remote session on my laptop, the network and printers were functional.
The system is great, but the software is not. Thus, I cannot give it more than 3 stars.

HP XL cartridges are the way to go
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: iconoclast
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I print less than 500 pages/month on my InkJet printers, but purchase the Extended Life (XL) cartridges because they do not clog or dry out. Not only are the XL cartridges a better buy than the standard cartridges, as a My Best Buy member, I get a discount on HP inks.

Handy, functional, attractive DSLR holster case
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: iconoclast
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently purchased a new DSLR camera with a zoom lens, and the case that came with the camera was bulky and too big for everyday use. I researched different camera holster cases that can accommodate the kit zoom lens, and found this Case Logic Kontrast case. It is just the right size for everyday use, and does not get in the way when taking photos or video.
The Case Logic case is better than many others, because it has a suspension device, so the lens does not get jarred if the case is bumped. Case Logic also designed a hard, waterproof bottom so the case stands up. It has plenty of pockets to store an additional flash, extra batteries, the lens cap, an extra strap, and memory cards. And it is attractive, black nylon with lime green accent piping.
I did not pay list price, as Best Buy matched a competitor's price for this case.

Prepare dinner easily with this 30-inch Bosch built-in microwave. It has a spacious 1.6 cu. ft. interior, so you can cook a variety of dishes, and its automatic sensor programs eliminate the guesswork of cooking times for perfectly prepared foods. This Bosch built-in microwave delivers 950W of cooking power for fast, convenient meals.
Is there a trim plate included or available with this product?
The sales rep in the Best Buy store sold me a Whirlpool trim kit. You can get a trim kit for a 27 inch or 30 inch (nominal) opening, If you are mounting the microwave over a wall oven, then get the trim kit the same width as the wall oven. You will need a shelf to mount the microwave, as it sits on rails.

The LinkSys Velop support page says that they have tested up to six nodes in the system.

This Frigidaire FFAD5033R1 dehumidifier removes up to 50 pints of moisture from the air each day to help you and your family stay comfortable. The adjustable humidistat lets you find the best setting for you.
I live in Houston where it's very humid with high heat indexes. Will this make the indoor ambient air temperature feel cooler?
I also live in Houston. This unit makes the house feel more comfortable. If you have a large home or a two-story home, you might consider buying two units and placing them in different parts of the home. While the unit is portable, it is heavy and not simple to carry up and down stairs.
