A Great Replacement for an Indoor Grill & Griddle
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
We replaced our previous grill with the DeLonghi 5 in 1 Grill, and you should too. If you use a similar type grill in your home often, or a griddle, this is a a must have. It replaces both, is so easy to use, and most importantly: is easy to clean.
The DeLonghi 5 in 1 Grill provides a larger grilling (or griddle) surface than your traditional similar type grill, but it has a small form factor, and folds, meaning you can save quite a bit of space, especially if you are replacing a grill and a griddle with this.
All I can say it is it easy to use, and the food comes out perfect.

Great for Work and Play
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
First, let me say that I love the sensation of typing on a mechanical keyboard. Nothing replaces that "clack" sound. The HP Omen Sequencer Mechanical Keyboard has a great feel when pressing buttons, whether typing or gaming.
I also love the fact that it is back-lit, which is great for work or gaming. The 5 programmable keys are great for gaming or working as well. The volume roller is great for getting the volume just right, and the media buttons are welcome shortcuts as well.
The last element of this keyboard that I love is the included USB port. I typically use it for USB drives, but I love having an easily accessible, but not noticeable USB drive that is right on my desk.

So Precise!
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I must say that I have never used a gaming mouse before. The Omen Reactor is my first. Let me just say that I love the wight of the mouse, as well as the adjustable palm rest. Having programmable buttons is nice too, even when you are not playing games. You can use them as "hot keys" in your business apps. I find this quite useful for emails.
Playing games, I compared the HP Omen with my old wireless mouse, and the performance is amazing. The precision of my movements were noticeable in a way that I didn't think was possible. This mouse will definitely increase my PC gaming time, as I'm sure it will take me away from my Xbox One.

The Most Comfortable Headphones
on October 21, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Flex Sport wireless headphones are so comfortable, they feel almost like a soft t-shirt. On top of that, the ear pads can be removed and washed. The breathable material prevents my ears from getting as hot, which is great.
These have the best Bluetooth antenna I have experienced. I live on about 1/3 acre, 2200 sq ft house, can walk any in room or in the yard with my phone on the charger in the middle of the house. I don't like having to carry my phone everywhere if I don't have to.
The only downside is that there is no wired input for these headphones, so legacy devices that don't support Bluetooth won't work with them. Because of this, at the current time, they cannot be used with a Nintendo Switch (this is a shortcoming of the Nintendo Switch, not these headphones, but I could get rid of all of my other headphones if these just had a wired input).
Overall, these are now my favorite headphones, mostly due to their comfort, but they sound great.

The Ultimate Party Speaker
on October 13, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
First and foremost, the battery life on the Sony SRS-XB501G is amazing, especially for a speaker with so much power. The battery can last up to 16 hours. This is great for me, because when I am setting up for parties at my house, I can listen to my music while preparing, and have PLENTY of power left for music at the actual party.
The fact that this speaker is WiFi connected is so great. In the past, I had strictly used Bluetooth speakers, meaning that my phone had to be used to control the music, that my phone had to remain near the speaker, and that calls and other notifications would interrupt the music. With the Sony SRS-XB501G, these are issues of the past. It maintains a direct WiFi connecting, meaning there are no notifications or other interruptions
.
I don't really care for the lights on the unit, but my daughter and her friends love them.
I love that the Google Assistant is built-in. I have a gym in my garage, and when I am working out, I can easily control the music or podcasts I am listening to without interrupting my workout.
This is a must-have speaker if you entertain at your house.

A Great Vacuum for a Lazy Person!
on October 10, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I love cordless vacuums. In the past, I have struggled to be able to vacuum my entire house on a single charge. I am so happy that the Shark Ion Multiflex ends my struggle. The unit comes with two batteries that should give up to 80 minutes of vacuuming time. I can actually vacuum my whole house and a vehicle on a single battery.
Which brings me to my next point: this vacuum is awesome for cleaning your car! The attachments allow you to get in hard to reach places, and being cordless means you don't have to worry about extension cords, or not having enough slack. I'm lazy, but the ease of using this vacuum on my car will ensure it is cleaned more regularly.
Finally, the "Flex" element to this vacuum is great. The joint in the middle of the unit allows you to easily get under low tables and couches This also allows the unit to take up less space and fit in smaller cabinets for storage.

Excellent Wireless Workout Earbuds
on October 8, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The BackBeat Fit 3100 wireless sport earbuds are great. I love that they have over-the-ear earpieces, as they stay on very well when running or working in the yard. The have a five hour play time, but then the case for the earbuds can recharge the,m up to two times, giving a total of 15 hours of playtime, which is a great amount if on a business trip.
As for the setup, they paired easily and sound great.

A Lot of Bass for a Little Package
on September 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
For its size, this is an amazing Bluetooth portable speaker. It packs an amazing bass punch. It has a six-hour battery life, allows you to make hands free calls with voice assistant functions, and is IPX5 water resistant. This makes it ultimate Frisbee golf (or other outdoor activity) companion. Adding music to my outdoor activities is great. It is easy to strap to my backpack, and plays as long as I need it to. Being able to answer calls and perform other action hands-free, also makes it a good companion speaker for doing car and home repairs, as I can take it to multiple work-sites easily.

A Great Monitor
on September 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This Dell IPS LED FHD monitor is great; while it has no major frills, it is a solid piece of tech. It has a small bezel around the monitor, meaning more of the size is dedicated to the actual, viewable screen.
It is a flicker-free display, meaning it is more comfortable for your eyes, especially after extended use. It works well, and my eyes didn’t feel as tired after my typical 16-hour Monday word days.

An Awesome Gaming Experience
on August 27, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I had no idea what I was missing playing video games (especially first-person shooters), until I started using my RIG 500 Pro HX headset. While I have a surround sound system at home, the quality and precision of this headset is amazing. My home theater system doesn’t even support Atmos, which sounds awesome.
Another reason I love this headset is that I can use them late at night without disturbing the rest of the family.
Finally, the noise cancelling and in-line audio dial are great. The noise cancelling helps when there is commotion going on in the house, but I need to hear the action and ensure my teammates can understand me. The in-line volume dial is great, as it is easy to access when I need to turn the headset volume up or down.
One last nice feature is that you can simply flip the mic up to mute it, making it easy to be absolutely sure you are on mute.

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!
