A Solid Choice for iPhone Earbuds
on April 27, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Skullcandy - Set Lightning - In-Ear - Wired earbuds are a solid choice when looking for good sound, simple features and comfort - and the ability to plug right in to your iPhone.
Although it may not be a major factor for many, the fact that it comes with cushions in a variety of sizes is a nice addition. For my wife, it was key. She has trouble getting most earbuds to stay in her ears, and that is frustrating. So, I had her try these - and now they're hers!
Here's what she had to say: "It seems earbuds are earbuds EXCEPT these stay in my ears much better than any brand I’ve tried. I guess my ears are shaped weird—whatever— buds pop like corn right out of my ears, except these. They’re comfortable and the sound is clear, and now I can listen uninterrupted. So kudos to Skull Candy for making them, and kudos to me for trying them."
Looks like you can't go wrong with these earbuds

A Great Quality B&W Printer for SOHO Use!
on April 26, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The HP - LaserJet M209dwe Wireless Black-and-White Laser Printer is an excellent choice as a work-horse for clean, fast black-and-white documents. The relatively small footprint, ability to print 2-sided, and wireless capabilities - along with a solid app - combine to make this a great product for all-around B&W printing.
I haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability. However, I am hopeful that this will duplicate the incredible performance and longevity of a much earlier (and similar) HP printer (I believe it was the 1012). We used that one for years without any problems and with consistent quality. Having the added features of wireless, 2-sided printing just makes this printer even more promising.
Set up is straightforward via the HP app, though it does take a little wifi wrangling during the first part of the set up. Once done, it just works and works and works.

Excellent Beard Trimmer - Hair Trim Depends on Use
on April 6, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Philips Norelco Ultimate Beard and Hair Trimmer Series 9000 is a very solid-feeling product. I really like the design and fact that it stands upright when needed.
I am a fan of Norelco products and use them every day. As a trimmer for my beard length, this is excellent. The best I've used.
However, I also use a beard-and-hair trimmer to buzz my head regularly. When using this unit for that purpose, it was a rougher experience than usual. In addition, the closest setting was not as close as my other Norelco trimmer. As a result it left a (very slightly) longer buzz when done than normal. That would probably not matter if the experience was smooth. But, together, I came away disappointed.
I really like the build and the touch-up beard trimming, but I won't use it for buzzing my head. Because of that, I just can't recommend it.
However, if your use scenario is different, you may find this to be just what you're looking for.

Excellent Choice for Smooth Smoothies
on March 31, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Nutribullet Smart Touch Blender Combo is amazingly powerful, useful - and sleek. I like the way the controls only show up when plugged in, and the simple lines of it’s design. The variety of containers is useful and the way it can reduce anything to smooth juice is very impressive.
I asked my wife for her input, and here’s what she sent me: “I think this thing could purée bricks (though I wouldn’t recommend it). It magically turns my chunks of carrot into the smoothest of smoothies. The three-sizes container option allows for papa bear, mama bear and wee small baby bear portions. Great Job Nutibullet!”
What more can I say? An Excellent Choice for Smooth Smoothies.

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.

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.

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.
