De'Longhi Stilosa 15 Bar Pump Espresso Machine

A Great Machine for its Class
on October 12, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The De'Longhi Stilosa 15 Bar Pump Espresso Machine is a great product for its class - a basic, manual espresso machine. De’Longhi makes amazing pro-level espresso machines, so this comes from a strong lineage.
There are a number of features that I appreciate in this model:
- The 15 Bar power is great, especially for frothing the milk, which is quick, effective, and powerful.
- The removable water tank is a nice touch
- The molded space for holding the alternative single-shot cup under the water cover is convenient and thoughtful
- It is simple to learn and operate
- Being used to an auto espresso machine, I initially was uncertain about the need to manually watch the espresso. However, after getting used to it, I prefer it much more as I can adjust the quantity to match whatever my current desire (mood) is.

I’ve got at least three crockpots in my possession, but here’s what makes this one THE BOSS: it’s travel-friendly. No more beans flung into the heater vents of our van!
Secondly, I prefer the ceramic crock as it cooks more evenly than metal, and this one has the added benefit of a stick-free inner coating. High protein recipes are especially prone to stick, so this no-scrub feature is a time and fingernail saver.
I also love the timer feature. Four hours for marinara, and then kept warm. Perfecto!

Very Solid Wireless Gaming Headset for the Price
on September 17, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Turtle Beach® Stealth™ 600 Gen 2 Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox is an excellent product for its price.
At first sight, I was concerned about comfort, but after using it (with glasses) I found it very comfortable for extended periods of use. Pairing with my XBox One X was seamless and the sound was crisp and clear with a good sense of spatial placement. The volume, chat, and other controls are fairly standard and become familiar fairly quickly.
I especially like the way the mic folds back up into the headphones with an easy flip. Much nicer than the pull-out type or those you snap on and off. And being wireless, of course, is a huge improvement over any wired solution (or 'wireless' headphones that depend on added gadgets in order to work with the console). You can pay more and get a few added qualities or features, but, with these, you will not feel you are missing anything.
Good Deal. Solid Performance. No Downsides. Definitely Recommend.

Great Security Program that Just Works
on September 3, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
Malwarebytes - 4.0 Premium is a great security program that just works. Easy to install, very quick scans, good reports.
It is a good value, but realize that the annual premium subscription for 5 devices will run around $80.
No complaints here - actually impressed.

Good Flexible Product for Younger Children
on August 11, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The JLab Audio - JBuddies Play Gaming Headset is a solid option when looking for a multi-use solution for younger children (I'd recommend 8 and under). They're small, light and comfortable to wear for extended periods. The option of bluetooth or analog, and the included mic make them very versatile.
The built-in volume level limit is a reassurance for parents of very young children. However, as familiarity with tech grows, their expectations may expand beyond this offering - that will definitely differ from family to family. My young grandsons enjoyed them a lot, but felt the analog volume controls were a little tricky (probably trying to make them louder). They also felt the bass was weak.
On the other hand, the headset paired easily with various Bluetooth devices and, as a result, was helpful for a number of use scenarios.
This makes the JLab Audio - JBuddies Play Gaming Headset a good, affordable solution for younger children.

Good Gaming Power for a Great Price
on July 15, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Dell - G5 15.6" Gaming Laptop - 144Hz - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX 5600M - 512GB Solid State Drive is a great laptop for gaming at an affordable price.
I would probably be classified as a casual gamer - Tomb Rader, Jedi Knight, AC, etc. So I'm not up on all of the specs and framerates. I just know if it looks good and plays smooth - and that's exactly what I've experienced. The image is very crisp and the graphics were impressively quick, smooth and engaging with no lagging at all.
I like using my XBox controller, which worked with no problem. The onboard sound is not that good, but I prefer headphones anyway and that worked excellently. I'm looking forward to using it plugged into a larger monitor and external speakers - just haven't had the chance yet.
As you should expect with a gaming laptop, it gets hot. When using it on my lap, I've needed to use a pad. Otherwise it is not doable.
Bottom-line. I am thoroughly enjoying this powerful, yet affordable, gaming laptop.

DOES WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO - VERY WELL
on July 11, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Belkin - USB Type C-to-HD D-Sub/USB Type C Cable is another one of those Belkin accessories that simply works - and that makes it just what I needed. I do presentations from either my MacBook Pro or iPad in different settings and always need to be ready to work with older projectors that aren't HDMI yet.
Without this adapter, I was relying on a mega-USB-C hub. That's overkill - and a hassle to carry around.
This is just right for my needs.

The KitchenAid - KHMB732BM 7-Speed Hand Mixer is a pleasure to use. Freedom from cords, which inevitably get in the way when using hand mixers, is wonderful!
The unit was surprisingly strong, yet light, and just feels right in your hand. The charge also lasted much longer than I expected.
As has already been mentioned, this is probably not for major, all-day baking sessions. But for normal active usage, this is great!

Just Works As Needed for Newer Connections

from Salt Lake City, UT
The Belkin - Connect 46' USB Type C-to-USB Type C Adapter, as with most all Belkin products, just simply works. And that's exactly what you want and expect of it.
Being all USB-C ports, this is about being connected with the newest gadgets. With my growing list of accessories that use USB-C, the usefulness of this adapter will only increase with time.
The reason I gave it 4 stars, instead of 5, is that it's pricey for such a basic connector.

Solid Improvement on an Already Stellar Product
on June 17, 2020
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Circle Home Plus is a solid improvement on an already stellar product. For those looking for simple but thorough control over family internet use and site access, this is a no-brainer.
Yes, it will cost you a monthly fee to maintain the top features after your free trial expires. However, my experience is that those who place a high value on what the Circle Home Plus provides will have no problem with the monthly (or yearly) charge.
A great product for a much-needed application.

What is the voltage 110 or 220. 220 uses half the electricity but has a special plug.
It's 110 - i.e. normal American household power outlet

Apartment use. Currently have a TimeWarner modem router and an extender in living room. parts of living room are slow and gaps. will these replace the modem router and will range be better?
I had a similar set-up as you describe. You will still need the modem function of your modem router to supply the internet signal from TimeWarner, but if you connect via ethernet from your existing modem router to the ORBI system, you should get a stronger system and better speed. I'm not with TimeWarner, but I had purchased and was using a modem router. After installing ORBI as described above, the strength and speed of my signal increased measurably. Remember that the wifi cannot make the speed greater than what arrives via your provider, but a better system, such as the ORBI, can bring the wireless signal closer to the actual ethernet speed. That's what it did for me.

So if it comes with two, I'm assuming you have one that internet is linked to by cable and the other is used as a extender? Or do you have to have both units hooked to cable?
You are correct. There is the Router unit, which must be connected by ethernet to your cable or dsl provider, and there is the Satellite unit which connects wirelessly with the main Router unit and extends the same signal with the same wifi name.

Will this product cover a 2000 sq. ft., one level house with only one (1) WiFi Name? The reason for this question is I'm currently using an extension to my router which has given the front of the house a different wifi name from the back of the house.
Yes. That's one of the advantages of this system versus a basic range extender, with the ORBI it's all the same wifi name. Plus, if you desire, you can pick up the satellite unit and move it according to you needs. It only takes 1-2 minutes for it to reconnect with the main router.
