It is an Epson, inexpensive but full feature set.

Posted by: redderr
Not sure how epson and canon keep productions some of the best and least expensive printers with tons of features. This Epson follows that mold. 150 sheet feeder, quality scanner, long life ink cartridges, auto 2 sided printing. Easy updates, fantastic Epson software, scannable pdf documents creation and great print quality though color usage is a bit on the high side but b/w ink usage is fantastic. Lest I forget, compact size, light weight and rock solid ease of connectivity via WiFi or direct usb.
Epson software rocks and is a joy to use.

Comfortable even with the weight
on September 18, 2022
Posted by: redderr
Super comfy in the ears which sort of makes up for the heavy feel but still a star deducted for that only. Cost for the features is average so that too kept it from 5 stars. If on sale then maybe a better bargain. Not sure why it weighs so much but the padding is very comfortable as is the sound reproduction so maybe that is why. It feels very solidly build and looks to last a very very long time so that is good. The software is very easy to tweak and use, so that again is a plus. I like that you know when the mic is on via an audible beep. The battery life so far I have gotten about 36 hours before I feel a need to recharge them, I think the 40 hours is true. Right out of the box was a pretty huge update but once that was over, pretty nice to use. Wearing my glasses due to the way the ear cushions are built caused very little issues on pressing on my frames. Also very little excess sweat in and around the cones.
Really well designed, sound quality, software and associated updates and comfort. Cost is a bit expensive though.

Compact, travels easy and good quality build.

The Insignia NS-MW330C1W22B 30W USB-C Compact Wall Charger Kit. This kit comes with an included 6 ft. Apple MFi-Certified USB-C to Lightning cable that is fairly thick and with a Velcro strap for easy management.
The charger can be used to charge any usb-c devices and pretty rapidly at that. I have an iPhone 2nd generation SE with only 10% battery life. Plugged in the charger and less than an hour later was fully charged, giving me a fast charge that I can depend on. Its compact and durable body with a foldable plug easily fits into a purse or pocket, ready for when you need it.
The cost is a bit on the hefty size but if on sale for under $25, then a bargain. I used the plug to charge my 11 and 12.9 inch iPad pros without issue. The 12.9 inch pro went from 40% to 90% in about an hour…so that was a pleasant surprise.
The ease of of power in such a compact design is really a plus, pop into your travel bag or pants pockets or car and you have a very capable powerful fast charger for phones and larger devices.

Nice compact with lots of ports but gets warm.
on September 12, 2022
Posted by: redderr
Very costly and gets fairly warm, no internal fan but you do get a lot of ports… 10 ESSENTIAL PORTS - A convenient USB adapter that lets your computer connect to ports like HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, and Ethernet. Transfer data with the MicroSD/SD card port, listen through the audio jack, and power up with the 100W power delivery charging port.
Nice to have all these ports and not have to plug and unplug. The LAN port works but does need to be configured depending on the device…no issues using LAN on Mac / iOS devices once configured.
I love the two multiple monitor capability…two HDMI ports (one 4K@60Hz and second 4K@30Hz). To my eyes no issues with signal degradation but my eyes not as sensitive as others peoples eyes to these issue.
The device sitting next to your laptop makes using the ports easy as there are so easy to reach and the SD reader is a real bargain and again it is so easy to use. I do wish the usb connection cord was more like 1.5-2 feet long, I think this cord is less than 12 inches. A nice device, quality build and I think heat is not an issue, fingers crossed. Get it on sale because for the price I think too costly and so 4.5 stars.

Nice features, good build quality & easy clean up
on August 29, 2022
Posted by: redderr
So the unit I believe is manufactured by either Canadian/UK company. The manual is pretty detailed along with cooking recipes. The touch capability is nice feature. The basket is non stick and super easy to clean. The various presets are handy and are pretty accurate.
The air fryer foods from steaks, small to medium whole chicken, chicken wings/legs all cooked evenly, throughly and foods wee filled with juiciness. It was mouth watering, not dried. Flavor of fried without the oily mess.
Cleanup is easy and the parts are dishwasher safe but after cooking I do wash in the sink quickly and let dishwasher do the balance. The unit is adequate for a small family meal preps but more suited for a couple in my estimation.

Power: 1500W

Timer plus Auto Shut Off Over Heat Protection
Safe: Cool touch Housing and Handle

Great but problems on Mac system
on July 9, 2022
Posted by: redderr
Install is easy on all devices. The biggest issue is have to add a credit card just to install. The credit card is needed setup auto renewal. That is unfortunate as that should be your personal choice and not forced on customers just to install a product that they purchased. The only redeeming out is that you can take off auto renewal after install and remove your credit card. When you do attempt to remove auto renewal you will normally be given an additional month of service if you do not but after 5 day wait period you are allowed again to remove your credit card and turn off auto renewal.
I have used Norton for decades on my windows system and mostly recently on my android devices. Protection works as it should and scans are relatively fast and informative. I like the low cost, features, performance and various scan options along with the various security setting levels.
I love the vpn which provides an extea level of super strong protection when browsing. The vpn is super easy to set up and does not seem to effect your browsing speeds.
I have installed the product on my iMac system, a first for me. It does not okay nice with my iMac. It causes browsing issues of either super slow web connectivity or no connectivity. It seems some of the security settings that the product puts into place lock your web access. You need to go into settings and turn off, prompting Norton to issue you warnings that your system is vulnerable or settings not correct. This is not only annoying but alarming.
I find no work around other than to turn off certain settings to ensure full connectivity speed. Norton also locks up more on my iMac or causes a full reboot of my system. I have take a star off for the credit card requirement and difficult use on iMac.

Compact, versatile and print quality
on July 5, 2022
Posted by: redderr
Compact desktop printer with small footprint but complete home office printer. Printer, fax, scanner, 20 page adf, double sided printing/ but manual duplex scanning and of course a copier.
The setup is problematic and so too the wifi setup. Please use the app that does make things go smoothly.
Print quality is impressive especially color, but it is a canon so that goes without even needing to be stated. The titling touchscreen is a nice feature and found on many of canon’s other printers, large or small. I like the inclusion.
The 5 ink cartridge system is nice and allows you to continue to print in bw if other color cartridges are low. How long they will last in real life seems to be good but still ink is always costly.
The wifi setup is difficult but rock solid once established. Multiple options to store scanned documents from wirelessly to your computer to SD storage cards. The print speed is minus a star due to it being to me sluggish and high ink cost. I like the connection options of wifi, usb , Ethernet and Bluetooth.

Lightweight,great protection,showcases phone color
on June 27, 2022
Posted by: redderr
The clear case is not quite clear, slight yellowish tint at least to my untrained eye. I think I like that as all my prior supposedly clear cases eventually develop a yellowish tint due to I think sunlight exposure.
The case has a nice rubbery feel, super grip ability and the protection offered to me is fantastic. I dropped my phone on purpose on my kitchen tile floor from about waist high, 3-4 feet, with no issues. I like these types of cases because without adding too much excessive weight, you get a way to showcase your phone’s color as well as providing good protection.
Access to buttons, charging port and cameras is great. The camera is just a big cutout, so camera clarity is not reduced and still protected. Cleaning your phone is easy, the case is easily removed so you can wash your phone which I do.
I love that my phone color is visible to me as well as to others. I am an adult so usually protective of my case and find I do not need to go to any extreme measures to safeguard my phone, the case offers more than enough protection. I do not even use a screen protector, never cracked any of my phones using these types of cases. The price is phenomenal and on sale and even greater buy.

Lightweight, sweat/water proof and quick recharge
on June 27, 2022
Posted by: redderr
The dpi precision of this mouse is fantastic. The option of Bluetooth or 2.4ghz wireless connectivity in one device is fantastic and rock solid. The shimmering lights make for a fun gaming experience and really does add to your enjoyment. The 10 minute recharge to get 5 hours of usage is really nifty and does work. Overall the battery life with a full recharge is phenomenal, easily in excess of 2-4 days of continuous use, not that you will be gaming so long without sleep, lol.
The usb-c cable is very long, I think about 3+ feet and has a nice cloth like texture, super soft and flexible. The overall weight is like non existent and and the glide is smooth. Tracking is so precise especially for gaming usage, that it does improve your gaming experiences and scores.
The device itself is supposedly waterproof, but I think it is truly sweat proof as you know extensive gaming will make hands sweaty so that is a nice feature. It is easy to wipe with damp cloth or if you dare wash under a stream of water, I would not.
The price is middle of the range given the features but wait for a sale. This is a winner. The only aside is Ergonomically could be a bit better but still more than adequate.

Stylish and easy to use once paired
on June 13, 2022
Posted by: redderr
The unit has a nice hefty (heavy) quality feel maybe because it is an all in one unit. The WiFi is built into the device so no need for separate WiFi bridge.
As long as your AC or split units has an LCD display type remote, I had no issues. I tried using it with 2 older units that had non lcd remotes, no luck whatsoever…very frustrating as I really wanted those to work. My newer ac units I have already have app based software that allow them to be remotely controlled via your phone and google and Alexa software.
So the Mysa just replaces my newer units lcd remotes and their own software app.
The Mysa keeps track of the room’s temperature and humidity, along with the target temperature you’ve set. As for humidity, Mysa does not use that info yet to maybe control comfort base not only on temperature but humidity, maybe with an update. The main app screen shows all of this, with mode- and fan-setting buttons clearly to the right of the set temperature, and up and down arrows to change the current temperature.
Great replacement for your remotes along with the app but limited functionality as it can only control one unit or device so costly for just one unit.

Simple packaging and very easy and quick setup once you download the software. The pointer is extremely slim and lightweight...just what you need from a presentation pointer.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
The pointer itself has very simplified interface, you have only three buttons at your disposal: a large "forward" in the middle; a smaller "back" arrow below it; and a third bullseye button that sits at the top of the slender wand.
Customization is what make this pointer so powerful in my opinion. The functionality of these buttons isn't fixed; you customize the actions they execute using the companion app. So, for example, where a quick press on the main button might move you on to the next slide, a longer hold can be set to launch the magnification feature; a raised hand gesture can trigger changes in volume.
A final neat touch is the haptic feedback, you can configure the Spotlight to vibrate at set times, which could be beneficial to pacing your presentation and your overall timing.
It's compatible with most of the presentation software you're likely to encounter including PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi and Apple Keynote.
I give it a solid 5 stars but the price needs to come down a bit for most users like myself to justify the premium price.

By JenJon
This has been the absolute worst electronic purchase ever! I am on my 3rd unit having 2 replacements sent to me from linksys as well as my 2nd range extender (the RE7000) that they have replaced as well. Invested 15-20 hours on the phone with foreign, yet pleasant enough, tech workers. I live in a square, 3,300 sf 2-story and cannot get consistent or far enough coverage. When paired with their extender to take advantage of the mumino technology, the internet fails to open at all on multiple devices, causing us to set up the extender under a different name and losing the purpose of why we bought in 1st place. After being refused to exchange into their new Velop product for all the problems, I ordered the Netgear Orbi yesterday and leaving the linksys brand forever ( I have purchased 9 routers from linksys in my lifetime for personal and rental homes ).

4 out of 5Great Robo Cleaner at a Good Price
By JBCTECH
I've been using robot vacuums for a few years and am a fan. The Samsung - POWERbot R7040 is my first experience with a next-generation model. There are great improvements in this one over my previous, 'bumper-car' versions: 1) Much better normal cleaning 2) option of a powerful turbo-cleaning mode 3) camera-aware movements which reduce the 'bumper-car' approach radically 4) options for manually controlling direction, spot cleaning, and repeat cleaning 5) an app that can control it from anywhere (and gives a diagram of where it went after a cycle) 6) a remote controller that can control it from anywhere in the home and manually direct it's path 7) a much more accessible, top-loading dirt collector that is easy to empty and clean.
It was very easy to set up and start in auto mode. For me, dialing in the added features took some time and trial and error. Better instructions on these features would be a big help. For instance, in manual mode, I would click the directional arrow and it would stop but not move in the desired direction. It took awhile to discover that it wasn't just a matter of clicking, but you have to click and hold the arrows in the direction you want it to go (duh). Once I discovered this, it worked very well (though the sensitivities of manually controlling it are best left for directing it into an adjoining room when you're in a hurry for it to find it's way there - and not in the mood to carry it). I'm also not yet clear on how well the Spot function works. This is too early of a review to address that.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with the way the POWERBot 7040 works. It is powerful, smart, simple and affordable!

Where is the map? The remote from anywhere?
June 17, 2017
In my use, the remote has about about a four foot range, even the manual verifies this.
I have used the app, where is the map of where it cleaned? I used the Android app.
The bumper car still lives in this unit, 4 foot by 30 foot hall, and my unit bounces off the side walls.
Manually controlling direction again limited by a four foot range of the remote.

brick?
In addition to having several things running on the wifi, I have a brick wall within my home that I need the wifi to travel through. Will this get through brick, and what is the maximum range?
I have brick in and around the house and inside my brick garage which is about 60 feet from the Router I still get a signal that says connected at about 25mbps.
