Smaller size, same great features - The Anova Precision® Cooker Container 12L was designed specifically with sous vide in mind and is a great space saving alternative to our other containers. It’s patented Hemiflow design features smooth, curved edges to help the water circulate more efficiently and heat your water with the quickness.

Easy to Use and Effective

There isn't much to the Anova Precision Cooker Container, but it works great. It's curved edges are meant for better water mixing resulting in more even cooking.
Anova Sous Vide devices fit perfect in the designated slot, preventing much evaporation and trapping in the heat. The rack that is included keep the bags of food completely submerged to ensure a full cook.
Overall, this is the perfect compliment to a Sous Vide cooker.

Lightweight, Small, and Easy

The Quip toothbrush is an affordable smart electric toothbrush that does what it says it will do, with no extra costly frills.
This connected toothbrush features vibration reminders, which help you focus consistent time on each quadrant of your teeth. It also connects to the app, which allows you to monitor your brushing habits (or more importantly, your children's brushing habits).
It also features an affordable subscription program to get replacement brush heads and batteries. The app actually includes rewards for consistent brushing, which can be redeemed for discounts on refills from the subscription program.
I love this brush because it doesn't take up much cabinet space (especially if you use the brush holder that mounts to your mirror or medicine cabinet), which also makes it very easy to travel with.

Great if You are Concerned About Your Heart-Health
on November 5, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Let me start by saying I love this watch and it's stylish approach to a hybrid smartwatch. It has an elegant design with a no-nonsense display. It features mechanical hands, with a small display. However, it feels like Withings just barely missed the mark here. Especially in a post-Corona Virus world, I am so surprised the watch didn't also include a temperature monitor for a watch so focused on health. It is a relatively cheap addition that could have added a lot more peace of mind.
It does have a great focus on heart-health, as it monitors your oxygen saturation level, as well as an electrocardiogram. It also has sleep monitoring, including watching for breathing disturbances.
The biggest shortcomings are the lack of NFC, especially for payments, on-board GPS, and music controls. These three elements are crucial for today's smartwatch.
If you are concerned about your heart-health, and that is your priority, this watch is for you. If you are looking for stylish, fully functioning smart watch, I would keep looking. It's high price and lack of standard features make it valuable only to a select few.

Fantastic - Easy (But Wired) Setup
on October 28, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Swann Enforcer camera system is amazing. Since it utilizes heat signatures, I now get far fewer false positives, which is great since I get notifications on my phone when movement (with a heat signature) is detected.
While this set is easy to setup, it is not wireless, so for those of you trying to install in difficult areas, or areas that can't be wired, these won't work for you. Otherwise, these are ideal.

Amazing for Remote Working
on October 28, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
As many of you know do, I work remotely, and have a house with two kids and a dog. While they are all well behaved, there can be moments of chaos. Even in those moments, I can hear (and be heard) just fine by whoever is on the other end of my call. I really have been blown away how easy it is to do dishes, laundry, etc. while on a call with a business associate without them knowing.
These have allowed me to be super productive, and I love them.
Do note that bone-conduction headsets are not meant for stellar music quality. If you are just looking for a headset for music, these are not the unit for you. Otherwise, these are amazing!

Perfect, Especially if You for Satellite Locations
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The PowerConference Bluetooth speaker is so simple to use. It's great for any time I'm meeting with someone and need to bring other individuals for reference or networking.
To be clear: it is easy to carry this in a small bag or briefcase (or even your pocket, but it is a bit big) to instantly turn any room into a conference room. IT sets up in moments, and works without any complex finagling; if you know how to pair a Bluetooth device with your phone, you are ready to use the Anker PowerConference speaker.
It sounds crystal clear, and its battery is supposed to last for 24 hours, meaning that as long as it gets charged between meetings, it will ALWAYS be good to go.

I was Skeptical, Now I am a Believer
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Despite the odd name (Razer Kishi), I decided to give this controller a try Xbox Game Pass Ultimate now offering game streaming to cell phones and tablets.
Let me just say that this blows all of the competition I have tried (and I've tried about everything I can find). It is easy to transport due to it's small size, but firmly hold all of the cell phones I have tried with it (Pixel 2,3, and 4). Games are a pleasure to play, and the buttons feel so similar to a standard console controller.
I can't recommend this enough if you want to game on the go.

Quiet and Comfortable
on September 22, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This is a great, compact keyboard that fits great anywhere, and is comfortable to use. I love having the NUM pad. I also love that they keyboard is so quiet, as I often work in the family room, and the quiet keys prevent me from disturbing everyone's viewing experience.
I did not think such a small mouse would be comfortable to use, as I thought it would be too small. In fact, it felt great (I wear a size large glove).

EXCELLENT! Make Sure to Update
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I love this headset. It is amazing. First off, as a glasses wearer, I love that these were designed to fit around glasses, it makes them so much more comfortable than anything else I have ever worn.
They are also quite easy to pair with your Xbox, requiring you to only push the pairing button on your console and on the headset (if you have any issue, your headset may require an update out of the box, for which I had to install the Turtle Beach hub on my computer, plug the headphones in, then the update only took a few seconds). I did require the update to get them to pair with my Xbox. Once that was done, they have been flawless.
Also, I love that the mic is integrated and can be tucked away. I rarely use a mic, but having it built-in means it is always ready for when I need it.

The description for this product is incorrect and sparse at best. Please update.

AGREED! The desciption seems to indicate that it has BOTH USB-A and USB-C ports. This is incorrect, it only has USB-C connections. The description should be fixed immediately.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
 

I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?

It actually has a coaxial cable plug-in so that you can use any OTA antenna with it.You should be able to use the digital antenna you mentioned in your question. That said, you can get a new, Smart 4k TV for around $300-$450, so I would go that route unless you are on an extremely tight budget. 4k, plus Roku is a much better option in my opinion. If nothing else, Roku isn't going anywhere.

Yes, Google Home will work regardless of if the primary account holder is around. Great question!
