A Big Speaker in a Small PAckage
on October 13, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I was thoroughly impressed with how big the sounbd is from this speaker. Boasting a battery life of 12 hours on full volume or 30 hours at 50% volume or lower, I found that 50% volume was more than adequate for most situations. I have a ton of Bluetooth speakers, but this one blows them away. In addition to Bluetooth, it also has an auxiliary 3.5mm stereo input so you can connect the T3 to any device that has a headphone jack, even if it doesn't support Bluetooth.
On top of everything, the Addon T3 has a feature I've been wanting in Bluetooth speakers for a long time: the ability to charge your phone from the speaker. The T3 has a full-size USB output that allows you to use the speaker's battery to charge other devices in a pinch. This can be a huge lifesaver if you bring your speaker along camping or at the beach.

Vegetable Noodles!
on October 11, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Ninja Precision Processor is great. Is is a powerful food processor that allows you to perform a wide variety of tasks. The dough blade makes making dough a snap, way easier than mixing by hand or even with a hand-held mixer.
I mostly plan on making salsa with this, as it is a great way to get extra vegetables for a healthier diet. I use the salsa on eggs at breakfast, as well as on chicken or tacos for dinner. I try to have at least 4 different vegetables each day, and this makes it easy.
I'm excited to try the included recipes, as my daughter has been asking me about making vegetable noodle, which the auto-spiralizer attachment can do. We've only used the spiralizer once, but the noodles are quick and easy to make.

a 4K Streaming Solution for the Whole House
on September 27, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The D-Link Covr system is amazing. Not only does it offer coverage for up to 6000 sq. ft., it delivers coverage that is fast enough to stream 4k content to the furthest reaches of the network.
The huge coverage range is partly due to the included range extender, which allows you to create additional areas of coverage where it is needed. The nice thing is, with traditional extenders, it creates an entirely separate network in the areas the extender covers. With the D-Link Covr system, both the main router, and any extenders share the same WiFi network name (SSID), resulting in a more seamless experience.
The D-Link WiFi mobile app makes setting your network up a snap. It also allows you to manage or troubleshoot your network, even when you aren't at home. This can be a huge help for families where not everyone has a lot of technology experience.
I was most impressed with the Covr system's ability to stream 4k content, even out to my workshop out in the back yard. As we approach an era with more and more 4K content available, this will be an ever increasing need.
Finally, I was please to see the 3-year warranty, which gives peace of mind when making this purchase that D-Link stands behind their products much longer than they typical 1-year warranty found with most routers.

Finally, a SAFE Alternative to Headphones for Runs
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This is the running accessory I have been waiting for. Finally, a music solution for runners that is SAFE! I never run with more than one headphone in or covering my ear so I can hear the world around me; primarily the road noise.
The problem with running is that many headphones completely separate you from your environment, which is not safe.
The Bose SoundWear Companion speaker is the solution my family and I have needed: a means to run, listen to music, and be safe and aware.
The sound out of these is excellent, to the point that I have now started using them for daily tasks: working, doing dishes, doing laundry, etc. Now, you can have your own private music, but be present in your environment, and I love that.

This Keyboard Just Feels Right
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I love the Logitech Craft keyboard for how the keys feels. Touch-typing on this keyboard is a breeze, and the keystrokes are very satisfying. The keyboard isn't too loud either, making working at night convenient and considerate. Both features of which I rarely find in a wireless keyboard.
My favorite feature of the Logitech Craft keyboard is the "smart illumination," which ensure you can see the keys you need to see, regardless of the in-room lighting. That makes this the best full-sized keyboard I have ever used. Since it can easily be switched to work on different devices, it is now my primary keyboard for 2 computer.
The creative input dial is great for artists, as it has many features that it can control many elements of Photoshop and similar programs, as well as in the Microsoft Office Suite.
Ultimately, the feel of this keyboard is what draws me to it. It feels great, and is a pleasure to type on.

I Love My New Vacuum!
on September 19, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Shark IONFlex DuoClean is an amazing vacuum cleaner. Being a cordless vacuum is an excellent feature to have, but there is so much more.
The IONFlex DuoClean has a bendable arm, which is useful for several reasons. First, it allows you to easily store or transport the vacuum, and it folds down to about 1/2 of its normal size. The second benefit to the bendable arm is that you can bend it so that you can easily reach under places like beds and dressers without having to bend over. It also features a dusting brush and an upholstery tool, allowing you to clean just about everything in your house.
The charge on the unit is also excellent. I was able to vacuum my whole house, which is 2200 square feet, and then took it to my mom's house to show her, and were able to vacuum her whole place on the same charge. I was able to vacuum over 4000 square feet on a single charge.
The last main benefit I found with the DuoClean is that it is so easy to vacuum stairs with, which makes my life so much easier.

A Truly Hi-Tech Brushing Experience
on September 5, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I never thought I'd see what I'd call a hi-tech toothbrush, but the Sonicare 9300 is definitely cutting edge.
The Sonicare 9300 is a Bluetooth connected devices. Its "smart sensors" allow you to see if you are pressing hard enough (or too hard), as well as ensuring that you are covering all of the areas in your mouth.
There are also different kinds of brush heads available for the Sonicare 9300: Plaque Control, Gum Care, Premium White, and TongueCare+. Each type of brush head is automatically detected when put on the base unit, so that the brush knows just how to opperate with each specific brush head. It will also keep track of when a brush head went into use, and remind you when it is time to get a new one.
After just a short time with the Sonicare 9300, I feel that this toothbrush will lead to much better oral health.

LG’s SJ7 Sound Bar Flex offers endless entertainment from a versatile dual-speaker design: The two main speakers can be placed in front of the TV, or to the left/right vertically or in front of and behind the listener for an even more cinematic experience. Both speakers are Bluetooth, and the right unit has a built-in battery, so it can work independently just about anywhere.

The LG Soundbar Flex Lives Up to Its NAme
on August 12, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The LG Soundbar Flex appealed to me in the first place because I love LG products, and the "speaker bar" didn't have to be used as a "bar." Instead, the speaker bar could be separated at the middle and each piece could be stood on its side so they we more like freestanding floor speakers.
I got way more than I bargained for though. In addition to being able to split apart, the Soundbar Flex has even more...ahem...flexibility.
The Soundbar Flex gives you the option to keep on of the two parts on the "soundbar" near the TV, while the other piece can go behind you, establishing a 5.1 surround sound evironment that easily fills a standard sized living room.
There is yet another option for your speakers as well: the second speaker, that would be used in the back for the surround sound setup can also be used as a wireless Bluetooth speaker. Yes, the second piece of the soundbar can be taken anywhere, as it features a rechargeable battery, giving you an emergency outdoor soundsystem for that last minute party.
Other than the flexibility of the speakers that make up the "soundbar," the Soundbar Flex also features a wireless subwoofer to give your living room sound a much needed extra kick.
The LG Soundbar Flex should more than fill your soundbar needs, with some added flexibility.

A Great Gaming Headset
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Logitech G433 gaming headset sounds amazing. It is also super comfortable. The blue camouflage looks awesome, and the fact that the ear pads are washable is great, so you can keep the headphones looking good.
The detachable boom microphone is nice, so it can be removed when you aren't using the headset for chat functionality. This, paired with the inline controls make it great for watching movies or other videos, as you can control the sound from the comfort of your viewing position instead of having to et back to your PC to adjust the sound.
It is important to note, however, that the 7.1 surround sound functions only work with PC and PC VR. You will have stereo sound when using these headphones with gaming consoles or a Mac.

Finally, an Easy to Clean Juicer
on July 25, 2017
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I've had juicers in the past, and they all worked fine, but they all suffered from the same issue: they wer hard to clean. That isn't the case with the Philips Masticating Juicer. It can be cleaner in just a few minutes, which means you will be a lot more likely to use the juicer. In the past, cleanup has always caused my juicers to go into disuse.
The other issue I have had with past juicers is that they take up a lot of counter space. The Philips Juicer is very slim, meaning I can leave it out. This is another great aspect to this juicer, as I would forget I even had my other juicers since they weren't out where I would see them.
Juicing is a great way to eat healthy, get your fruits and vegetables, and this is a juicer you won't regret having.

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.
