I am no plumber nor have experience with plumbing, but I have installed my own dishwasher in the past, and installing this took me a little less than an hour. The hardest part was trying to do this on my own, but ultimately I had to ask my partner for help in holding the container while I tighten the screws. After the installation, there is not much to it. The grinder met my expectations and it really takes on chunky foods, although I would not recommend going above and beyond and letting it do that all the time. As most of you know, this is for whenever the sink gets clogged with food scrums but I wouldn't use it to purposely grind food I leave on my sink. I use a food catcher to catch the biggest food scrums. Overall, I would recommend this product because of the built quality and the warranty that comes with it to back it up. My partner was happy we replaced ours because our old once occasionally needed us to start it up again with an Allen key, and if you are starting to do that with yours, just save you the trouble and get this already!

Super easy to download and install. I already have a VPN subscription from Norton, so adding this went swift and smoothly. I can login and see my dashboard, alerts, identity lock and monitored info features. Fortunately, nothing was found when the system ran my identity so I haven't had to use this to freeze my social or anything like that, but there is the option to do so and this adds a sense of security. With how things are nowadays, I better be protected than be sorry later. The website is easy to navigate and really have no issues with it. Personally, I haven't had to call support but I hear good things about their customer service. I always trust Norton with my electronic devices and this product is no different. I think this can be a good gift to our older parents who are more prone to scammers or falling for some of those internet traps, so I actually got one of these for my dad and my mom. I want them to feel safe as they navigate the internet and use random apps especially because they are not the best at using the internet. Overall, it's simple and offers protection, and I appreciate this very much.

Meta Quest Pro is a virtual reality system that unlocks new perspectives into how we work, create, and collaborate, so you can go beyond what was previously possible. A completely reimagined headset is slimmer and more well-balanced for long-lasting comfort. Breakthrough high resolution mixed reality passthrough uses full-color sensors to let you see and engage with the physical world around you–even as you connect, work and play in virtual spaces. Multiple room-sized displays let you skip between tasks to get more done, more easily. Connect better with friends or collaborate with peers like never before with real-time avatar expressions that mirror your authentic facial reactions. Intuitive, redesigned controllers dispense with tracking rings, using self-tracking cameras to capture a greater range of motion and fine motor controls to translate detailed finger operations like writing and drawing into VR. Advanced multi-point haptic feedback makes virtual interactions feel more real. Meta Quest is for ages 13+. Certain apps, games, and experiences may be higher.

VR that will help me stay active and productive!
on October 30, 2022
Posted by: Emmanuel
I will start by saying that I have never used any kind of virtual reality headset in the past, and as a gamer, I have stayed away from them because I assumed one could get too dizzy or the quality of the gaming experience would not be as good as my computer monitor or gaming TV. Using the Meta Quest Pro for about 5 days, I have been honestly surprised but in a good way. I understand that Meta has designed this new technology to attract companies in using this technology for work and productivity however, I don’t work for a company that uses this kind of technology. That said, my friend who is an architect did share with me why he’s planning on buying one because he uses the previous model with his team and even some clients to show them the design progress. Apparently, this technology allows you to do virtual walkthroughs of the floor plans, and of that sounds awesome but the company I work for does not use this kind of technology.
Nevertheless, before using this headset for gaming and virtual workouts (the things I plan on doing the most), I decided to try the Immersed app to try out how this headset can help with productivity. Overall, the app interface was confusing at first and I struggled to map out my keyboard to align perfectly in the augmented reality, but once I got that figured out, I was pleasantly surprised with this Meta Quest Pro. Being next to a window didn’t matter, I was could immediately see my computer plus other windows to use in my productivity. I found this to be super cool, and I even shared with my girlfriend who immediately said, “this would be cool to use for writing a school paper!”, and it was in that moment that I realized that if she even thought this could help with productivity, this new tech was definitely stepping in the right direction!
Now how do I see myself using this technology? Personally, at first, I felt a bit embarrassed to want to give this virtual reality a try because I consider myself an outdoor person who plays soccer 2-3 times per week and occasionally hikes 14ers. I thought having a virtual reality headset was not for me, but in just the first few tries my mind was humbled and I saw there was some good with this technology. The battery doesn’t last more than 2 hours but honestly this is a good thing for me because I don’t plan on using this 24/7 nor do I want this to replace my true outdoor activity. I downloaded a workout app which has the feel of a video game where there are objects being thrown out that you must duck or punch, and both my girlfriend and I tried this, and we both agreed that this is a good alternative workout when we don’t have the time for the gym, or the weather does not allow. We were both laughing because we couldn’t believe that we were sweating by doing a virtual workout, and we tracked on our watches, and we were burning calories just as if we were doing something outside. PRETTY COOL! The second way I see myself using this is with my gaming set up. The games that can be downloaded to the Meta Quest Pro are okay, but if you pair this up with your gaming PC the experience is seriously way better. Just download the Oculus software on your computer and you can link it to the Meta Quest Pro. Finally, usually at night I watch soccer highlights or watch late night comedy, and this YouTube VR experience is freaking awesome. You can make the screen as big as you want. It honestly feels like you are in a movie theatre. I was not expecting to use this to watch videos, but I will probably do this in my downtime.
As someone who is completely new to virtual reality and having no experience with other headsets, I am enjoying this each time I put it on and still have more things to learn from it. I big feature on this headset that I love is this mixed reality concept where I am in an assigned space that I give myself to watch videos, workout or do some productivity, and as soon as I step away from this area, I can see the real world around. I can even use my phone and read the text messages I receive (it’s a little hard to but it can be done). Apparently, this is new with virtual reality headsets, and I am glad this one has it because it’s a great feature that is needed. It really allows you to feel like you can be virtual but also in real life, and as someone who is not really into replacing my real-life adventures with virtual ones, I like this. I don’t think virtual reality will ever replace our real reality, but having it blend from time to time can be fun and exciting.
Here is a quick breakdown of my review:
Built Quality 5/5 – this product does not feel cheap at all! From the headset to the controllers, this feels premium, and it gives you confidence that your headset is not going to break. I also love the black on black everything. Looks stealth!

Sound Quality 5/5 – I appreciate that the sound on these isn’t loud nor that it comes with headphones to fully block out outside sound. If you’re gaming you can wear your headset, but otherwise, for watching hearing sound from the device, it’s crips and just loud enough.
Mixed reality 5/5 – love this feature for safety reasons but also for usability. The technology is so smart that as soon as you move from the “safe space” you see the real world around you. It also remembers several spots you assigned as stationary stations for you to use the device.
Software 5/5 – from the first time turning on the headset to setting up on your phone, it took me about 10-15 minutes, and I was already in. If you can use a smart phone, you will have no problem using this. Using the controllers takes some adjustment, but you catch on.
Battery 4/5 – I know 1-2 hours is not a lot for something of this top quality, but for me this is perfect. I honestly don’t want to be sucked into this device, so the battery works for me. More than 2 hours of virtual reality will probably make us sick. If you plan on using this for work 8 hours a day, I don’t recommend it, but you can always plug it in via the USB-c and it will stay on while charging.
Overall, 5/5 – I am not the person to say if the price is justified, but as someone who is new to virtual reality, and plans on using this for workouts, gaming and some productivity, this device feels like a great addition to my technology in my house. Maybe in the future more of my friends will have some and we can “hangout” but for now, I will be using it to keep a healthy and productive lifestyle. Who knew Meta could even do this for me, and this is why I am pleasantly surprised!

Posted by: Emmanuel
I recently bought a new condo and wanted to install a smart lock, and haven't used Yale before, I am happy with the installation and ease of use of this product. The package arrived with everything except a screw driver, and the installation took me a little than an hour. Installing the lock was not that difficult, however, figuring out to create a personal lock code took me ages. I followed the instructions provided in the box, but this did not work so I had to go and check other videos online to be able to do this. Overall, I recommend this product and here are my ratings based on the features.
Built Quality 5/5 - Smart Lock is made of metal and plastic parts, but it does not feel cheap. I am confident it will last a a very long time and won't give me issues.
App/Software 5/5 - Using the App to set up the lock was straightforward and done within seconds. I like how you can customize the lock and you can be notify if you want to receive a notification each time the door opens and closes.
The only issues I had with the set up was changing the code to a personal one, I was not able to do this right after installation. I had to see online videos for help. Just a heads up this might be the case for some of you.

Stand out amongst a sea of streamers with clarity that cuts through the noise. Be heard with the Razer Seiren V2 X—a USB microphone perfect for any streaming setup, packed with all the tech required to make your voice truly come to life.
Posted by: Emmanuel
I’ve been wanting a solid microphone for my gaming sessions with my friends, and although my headphones do have a microphone, I prefer to have a standing mic for better sound and less stuff blocking my view while gaming.
Some of the things I enjoy about this Razer microphone include the following:
Built Quality – 5/5 – Razer continues to impress me in the quality of their products because the black is a beautiful stealth color and the metal built in this make just screams quality. Super satisfy!
Sound – 5/5 – I tested this mic compared to the one in my headphones and another stand up mic that I have, and this is the one which sounded the best on the recordings I got via software. Similarly, I asked my friends to let me know which mic sounded better and all of them said this Razer was better.
Software – N/A – Personally, I don’t use Razer’s software because I feel like it slows down my computer, but I am glad to report that this works just as great without the software so don’t let them trick you when the window pops up. Don’t use it if you don’t need to!
Overall, 5/5 for me. Highly recommend it! I didn’t use it for Podcasts, but I have no doubts this would do a great job with that as well!

Lightest and fastest mouse I have ever used!
on October 4, 2022
Posted by: Emmanuel
I started gaming on PC about 3 years ago, and have used the same mouse which has a maximum DPI of 16k, and so going to this one which provides 30k DPI felt ridiculously fast, and that's because it does everything twice as fast! Here is a breakdown of why I am seriously in love with this mouse,
Ultra Lightweight Design 5/5
It took a day or two to get used to how light this mouse is. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like using a mouse that weights almost nothing, but when I went back to my regular heavier mouse, and I just felt slow playing the same video games. Personally, I had to use the optional grip tape that came with it because the mouse felt too slick for me, and I like a good grip. The grip tape made my experience a hundred times better, so I highly recommend doing this too!

30k Optical Sensor 5/5
As someone who started gaming on PC in the last 3 years, I am not too savvy on building PCs or finding the best keyboard and mouse, but compared to my previous mouse, this thing feels like a different beast. I play online games and this just makes my movement smoother and faster. It feels so good! Never going back to my old mouse!

Connectivity 5/5
It comes with a USB dongle, and so it's literally plug-n-play. Love it!

I recently moved to a new home and my garage control remote is old and the keypad outside did not work, and I am super happy that I gave this product a try because it has exceeded my expectations all around. I had never heard of this company so I was a bit skeptical on how this product would do.
First, the box presentation was great and the instructions were easy to follow. The installation process took no more than 10 minutes, and I honestly was surprised on how easy it was. I wish I would of gotten something like this for my other place!
Second, after installing the camera, you have to calibrate it and this is not complicated thanks to a video I found online which provided step by step instructions. In less than ten minutes, I was opening and closing my garage with my phone! I love that I can open my garage just as I am turning in to my home because it's just convenient.
Finally, the camera is a plus! I would be extremely happy if this product was just a remote garage controller since there isn't a lot of action that is happening in my garage, but honestly having a camera just makes it that much better and you have some security in the event that someone breaks or you forget to close the garage.
I have had this for about 2 weeks now, and my only regret is not having one sooner! Super happy and highly recommend this!

New to the brand Plantronics and so I went in with no expectations from this speaker, but I am glad to share that to my surprise, the sound transmitted from this from the meetings to music or just playing videos on my computer has been great. I had another Bluetooth speaker connected to my PC prior to getting this and I already posted that speaker for sale. I am going to keep this one as my PC speaker and obviously use it for the Teams/Zoom calls. I work from home on most days, so I have at least one meeting every day, and I have been satisfied with my use of this product for the last couple of weeks. Additionally, the built quality and box presentation speaks good from this company. Again, I had never used their products, but it definitely doesn’t feel like you are buying a cheap speaker. No issues with Bluetooth connectivity, but I personally leave it plugged in with the provided USB cable because that’s my preference. I highly recommend this product if you are looking for some speakers for your PC that you can use for music, entertainment, and business meetings. It checks the boxes for me!

It's not for everyone, takes some getting used to.
on September 27, 2022
Posted by: Emmanuel
I haven’t had any issues using a regular mouse, and I decided I wanted to give this kind of mouse a try, but in all honesty it’s not for me. I used it for about a week and personally I could not get used to it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the quality and the response from this mouse, but again the shape and the way my hand rested on it just didn’t feel “normal”. It’s somewhat ironic since this mouse is shaped to make your hand rest on it more normal. Regardless if it’s not my type of mouse, I let my girlfriend use it and she says she definitely sees herself using this more as it helps her feel less tire from a day of work. So for this reason, I think it’s only fair that I give my rating on its features since it does work as expected and it’s super easy to connect to my MacBook.
Built Quality 5/5
I owned another mouse from Logic and their products are top of the line. I also love that the white seriously matches the Apple white used in all of their products. It’s simply made to look like an Apple product.

The two largest buttons do sound louder than I would like but it’s not too bad.

Again, this was not for me. Maybe for people who have hand or wrist problems this is the ideal mouse, but if you don’t get pain from using a regular mouse this might just feel too abnormal.

Posted by: Emmanuel
This printer is perfect for my small home office! My favorite feature is the size and quality of printing. It’s not as fast as a commercial printer of course, but it’s a decent home printer. I have had other printers that are huge which have made me reorganize my whole office. This one is almost like a slim version of a printer that keeps the same features as a big printer. I love the black on black because it’s just discrete on my desk. I use it for my home office but this can easily be put on a kid's room for their own personal use.
Here is my rating based on its features.
5/5 – Design
Quality design and in a small package. Personally, my office space is limited and so I think this printer is great for those who have a smaller office or simply don’t want a printer that’s as big as your monitor. I love the size of this thing!
5/5 – Print Quality
Does the job as expected. Not noisy at all and it doesn’t seem to waste unnecessary ink.
5/5 – Set up and Connectivity
Super easy to set up and connect to our Wi-Fi and the App.

The JLab GO Air POP True Wireless Earbuds have changed the game for accessible audio products. With a massive 32+ hour total playtime, you can expect 8+ hours in each earbud off a single charge and 3 more charges from the case. Ready for business calls to workouts and everything in between, the GO Air POP earbuds feature 3 custom EQ sound settings to choose from, touch sensors, universal mics in both earbuds, and IPX4 water resistance.
How long is the battery life? How good do they cancel out noise?
They last about 8 hours per charge and the case has 3 additional charges. And these do not offer noise cancellation, but for $20 these are sweet!
