Impressive for Size and Price
on March 19, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Panasonic - Soundslayer 2.1 - Channel Gaming Soundbar with Subwoofer HDR 4K UHD supported is surprisingly effective. I have a large soundbar and subwoofer for my TV that is 5x the price so, when I saw the size of this, I did not expect the sound to be at all in the same league. Although I could tell a difference as far as filling my living room, I found the sound put out by the Soundslayer to be very impressive.
I used it for games in a larger room and it was full, clear and crisp. I could hear what was going on around me very well. I was also pleased by the bass from the built-in subwoofer - again much better than I expected.
I do wish it had more connection options as it is a good option for general uses as well as for gaming.
Bottom-line: I'm very impressed, especially for it's size and price.

Designed for a life with less cleaning, the DustMagnet 5410i air purifier catches 99% of airborne dust before it settles on floors and surfaces. Independently tested for performance as part of the AHAM Verifide Program for room air cleaners, for a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 244 cfm for fine smoke particles, 265 cfm for pollen particles, and 266 cfm for dust particles. Recommended for medium rooms like a master bedroom, living room, or playroom, the 5410i model completely filters room air about every 12.58 minutes (approx. 4.8x an hour at 380 ft) on the highest speed. Patent-pending DustMagnet technology powerfully attracts airborne dust particles like a magnet. Two air intake points and a unique airflow pattern create a vortex effect in the room to capture dust before it settles. A stream of negatively charged particles clusters airborne dust particles, making them easier to capture. Once inside the air purifier, the particles stick to the positively charged pre-filters like a magnet. Equipped with HEPASilent filtration technology to kill germs and effectively trap 99.97% of airborne particles like allergens, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, bacteria, and viruses down to 0.1 microns. Additionally, activated carbon is integrated throughout the filters to absorb gases and household odors from cooking, smoke, and pets. DustMagnet delivers more clean air using less energy and less noise, quietly cleaning the air with less noise than a whisper (31 dB) on low and up to a normal conversation (50 dB) on high – while using about as much energy as a light bulb (42 watts) on high. Air purifier not tested against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Designed to blend into your home like a great looking piece of Scandinavian-style furniture, the dual-use design features a convenient top surface to double as a side table and air purifier. With a design worth showing off, there’s no need to hide your air purifier, place it prominently in the room where it will be most effective. DustMagnet takes a simple approach to smart air quality management with proactive features such as Auto mode, Welcome home, and a five-color LED air quality indicator light. When Auto mode is enabled the air purifier will auto-increase fan speed when the particle sensor measures diminishing air quality conditions (when cooking, vacuuming, etc.) and returns to a lower speed once pollution dissipates. Activate the Welcome home feature (available March 2021) via the Blueair app and your air purifier will go into standby mode when you leave the house and turn back on as you approach home, reducing airborne dust for when you arrive. The Wi-Fi-enabled air purifier also allows you to control settings from almost anywhere with the Blueair app and voice-control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant-enabled devices. Includes one set of combination particle and carbon filters with a maximum of 1-year filter life and two permanent stainless-steel pre-filters. DustMagnet proactively monitors filter use and pollution levels in real-time to accurately determine when you need a filter change. When it's time for a replacement, the Blueair app sends an alert with an option to order filters at the touch of a button. For optimal performance, we recommend cleaning the pre-filters with a vacuum or cloth weekly, or as often as needed. Replace the combination particle and carbon filters when the filter light indicates a filter change is necessary (roughly 6-12 months of 24/7 use based on pollution levels). At Blueair, our Swedish heritage inspires sustainability and quality at the heart of everything we do.

Recommend this unit
on March 15, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Blue Air DustMagnet 5410i was a breeze to set up. Connecting with the app was simple, direct and worked immediately. The app tracks the air quality and displays it clearly in an easy to understand graph. I also like the bar which shows how much life is left on the filters.
Within a couple days, my morning sneezing routine stopped.
I have no complaints and recommend this unit.

The iPad is a great device, especially if you pair it with an Apple Pencil. A full-fledged computer, the power of a digital work environment literally at your fingertips. But one thing is still not great: the Apple Pencil slipping around on the iPad's glass surface feels unnatural and the pencil tip gets stuck on fingerprints and smudges. It simply doesn't feel right. If you're like us, you miss the accuracy of writing on paper. Paperlike, a screen protector that emulates the natural feel of paper when writing and drawing on the iPad. The most significant challenges in developing the Paperlike were finding the right friction while keeping light refractions at a minimum. And keeping the material smooth enough, so it doesn't eat up the pencil tip like sandpaper (a lot of regular matte screen protectors do that). That's why we developed a unique surface technology called Nanodots. These microbeads are evenly distributed across the foil and allow for a natural paper-feel while keeping as much of your iPad's brilliant display quality as possible. Join tens of thousands of artists, students, and notetakers around the world who love Paperlike. And finally, make your iPad the truly magnificent device it can be.

Excellent Product Requires Careful Installation
on March 13, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Paperlike - Screen Protector for Apple iPad Pro makes drawing and note-taking on the iPad feel much more natural. That's a big improvement. I was surprised at first that there was a short adjustment period when moving to it from the normal, slick screen. But, once adjusted, I really enjoy the feel of the surface.
Others have already covered the issue with installation. I will only add my agreement that you must watch the video, have a clear prepared place, and take-your-time. As has been mentioned, it would be good to pre-clean the surface and let it dry before beginning the actual installation.
If, like me, you've self-installed many screen protectors, you need to adjust your thinking when approaching this installation (see above).
Once done, you'll find yourself enjoying it immensely.

A Solid Product for the Right Usage Scenario
on February 6, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Epson - RapidReceipt RR-70W Wireless Mobile Receipt and Color Document Scanner is a solid choice for specific applications.
Mobility: Its size and weight make it extremely portable. However, the issue of needing to disconnect from network wifi inorder to connect with the scanner wifi is counter-intuitive to a full-freedom mobility when using it with a loptop. When using it with a phone or cellular tablet, it works more smoothly. I'm on a Mac, so some of this has to do with the fact that most of Epson's Mac software is clearly Windows-centric.
The image quality is good and the software has some excellent features.
Personally, I find myself using my iPhone for random scans and going to the Epson - RapidReceipt RR-70W Wireless Mobile Receipt and Color Document Scanner for dedicated tasks. Especially if those involve a number of accumulated receipts or similar documents.
I took one star off because of the uneven compatibility level between whether you're using it with a Mac or with Windows.
Overall, this is a very solid product if your use scenario is compatible.

Excellent Choice - Especially for Compatible Uses
on February 6, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Epson - WorkForce ES-400 II Duplex Desktop Document Scanner is a true work-horse for large, standard-sized bulk scanning on a budget. While it can handle mixed sizes, it's best when working with multiple pages of the same size format. In that case, you can start the scan and then focus on other things. If your needs include working with a mixture of formats, the Epson - WorkForce ES-400 II Duplex Desktop Document Scanner does work with an optional dock and flat-bed scanner that pair together (in the $100 range). However, that is a Windows-only option.
Quality is good, which is to be expected with Epson. A great feature is the back-side detection which will scan or skip the flip side of a document based on whether or not there is anything there. This is primarily a feature of the software, but it is extremely appreciated when needed.
Note that 'network' or 'mobile' printing scenarios for this model depend on your going through the connected computer, not the unit itself.
All-in-all an excellent choice if your use-scenario is as stated above.

Great Sound and Features for an Attractive Price
on January 20, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Skullcandy - Hesh ANC - Over the Ear - Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones are a great offering for this price-point. Easy to pair and control. Very comfortable. And the carrying pouch with pockets is a nice addition.
The 3 listening modes work geat: Noise Canceling | Regular (Noise Cancelling off) | Ambient Sound.
I do wish the volume was stronger. Full volume is usually way too high for me on most headphones. These were only slightly over-loud with the volume maxed out.
Overall, the Skullcandy - Hesh ANC - Over the Ear - Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones offer great sound and full features for a very attractive price.

Adds a lot for the small floor space it occupies
on January 20, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The JAXJOX KettlebellConnect™ 2.0 - Adjustable Kettlebell is a handy addition to a home gym. Changing the weight at the touch of a button is so nice and convenient.
It was very easy to set up and to pair with the app. I did accept the free trial subscription and so I do not know what the app offers without it. But I found the classes very easy to follow and like that it automatically tracked my activity whenever I started a class. The skills classes were great for me since I was unfamiliar with using kettlebells.
The cord is short, but that is for charging and you can move the unit away and it will still work. I did not test it for how long the power lasts.
A kettlebell may not be the first piece of gym equipment that comes to mind, but this makes it easy to use and adds a lot of variety for the small floorspace it occupies.

Good Sound for the Price Range - with Lights!
on December 15, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Soundcore - Flare 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a solid product for an attractive price.
Easy to pair, comfortable to hold, with a solid feel. It produces good sound with strong bass (when 'bass boost' is selected). It can easily fill a large room as well.
The lights are a definite addition for festive gatherings and general mood-setting. They can be programmed according to multiple options.
As with most bluetooth speakers in this price range, the sound tends to become less distinct and slightly distorted at high volume. These are not made for hi-fidelity listening, but offer decent every-day sound at a good price - with the nice addition of lights.

If It's For You - You'll Thoroughly Enjoy It
on December 15, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Nanoleaf Shapes - Mini Triangles Smarter Kit (5pk) is a unique addition for your home or room. It was easy to set up and pair. The way the pieces snap into place is satisfying once you get the hang of it - and there are an almost limitless number of ways it can be made to perform.
- Responding to music and sound according to various default 'moods'
- A large number of pre-programmed patterns.
- Ability to choose virtually any color
- Ability to program custom patterns and responses
- Easily change the overall layout quickly. This is, of course, impacted by the total number of shapes you have. The more shapes the greater the variety possible.
- And more.
The Nanoleaf Shapes - Mini Triangles Smarter Kit (5pk) is definitely high tech and impressive as such. However, they are not an impulse purchase but rather a choice to make. I found myself more impressed with this product than I expected, but it isn't for everyone. If it's something that interests you - I'm convinced you'll thoroughly enjoy it.

Proven Security for an Affordable Price
on November 18, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Blue by ADT - Home Security System - 10 Piece Starter Kit is an excellent choice for home security.
The recent offerings of easy-to-setup, wireless, app-based home security systems have, in general, been a great option for today's home security needs. ADT has taken the features of this product category and offered a solid, strong-performing choice.
Since a number of other reviews have gone into more depth on the ease of setup and connection - and the genuinely useful app, I won't elaborate here.
However, an undeniable advantage this system has over others is the ADT brand. Thanks to their history of installing full-service security systems in homes for years, the ADT yard signs and window stickers have long been an indication of solid protection. The Blue by ADT - Home Security System - 10 Piece Starter Kit provides that same assurance for a fraction of the cost.

If you still have to have Internet service what do I need this thing for I already have a router

If you're satisfied with your current wifi you don't need this. If your wifi is older tech and weak in spots, this system should give you a wifi signal that is stronger and speedier.
