Buy this now! Make your dreams come true!
on October 4, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
Woah, my mind is officially blown by this product. It is like they reached into my brain as a 10 year old and came up with the ultimate toy car.
The packaging is premium. The cardboard is high quality with information on the product and nice glitter effects on some of the surfaces. Opening it is easy separating the top portion from the base. Inside you will not find a lot but the cara is “parked” in its carrier. It has little plastic cups covering its wheels as if it was being held on a trailer. The red AC adapter is inside along with a bit of documentation.
The app needs to be downloaded to make this work, on iOS it is about 200 megabytes so make sure you have room. The documentation states to plug it in for 30 mins on first use. After you plug it in (in the gas tank of course), it gets cool…
I figured there would be a charging indicator but nope, it is way more fun. The headlights and brake lights start to pulse, the eyes illuminate and the car starts looking around. The car makes a few quirky remarks and moves the front side up and down as if he is shifting his weight just like he moves in the cartoon. When the charge is ready, he tells you with a moving mouth that he is ready to go!
Pairing the app to the device is easy and might require a quick firmware update. The instructions are simple enough but you point it the right way, set the direction and get to some awesome times with your your kids! The car can go in reverse, drift, and has a turbo button for speed. Lightning McQueen makes remarks the whole time you are having a blast and the action is extremely responsive. You can use sphero controls which takes a little getting used to or you can switch it to RC controls if you are a vet in that world.
This device is extremely premium, it scream quality in every way. If you want to make a few dreams come true, I say go for it. The battery life was a little short and the wireless range was shorter than I expected. Even with that, I didn’t care, the perks of this device far outweigh the negatives by far.

Amazing upgrade
on September 24, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps

I was a bit skeptical upon received this unit. There are a lot of bold claims made here about decreasing your ping time, great range and speed and so on.
The packaging is premium with lots of great pictures and information. The device itself feels rugged, looks cool and fun but stays professional looking. It follows the typical designs of the WRT series but adds a few gaming twists to it.
The back side of the device has all the great things you might want in a high end router. Four ethernet connections, one USB 2.0 connection, one e-sata connection.
Setup is a breeze, it does not appear to use much of the internet setup other routers sometimes use, it is straight forward in the device itself. Once it is up and running expect great things.
I have a Killer wifi card I purchased on amazon in anticipation of getting this router because I wanted to see what killer devices can do. In short, it works as advertised. The killer wifi ensures speeds are consistantly high and my ping dropped about 10ms from my old device. Now, the difference between 22ms and 12ms is negligible but I can not complain about any edge I can get in a game.
Otherwise, my connection is highly reliable anywhere in the house and I have great signals everywhere I go.
I have zero complaints about this device, it is fast, easy to use and looks cool.

Wow!!!
on September 22, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
I wasn't sure what to expect from this when I first received it. It looked nice, had a cool advertised wheel feature but I was not prepared for this thing. I also did not know what I was missing out prior to this with my old keyboard.
Packaging is very premium for a fancy keyboard such as this. Included is the keyboard which has an amazing gunmetal and gray look to it. It has nice heavy weight and will not slide around at all. It comes with a universal Logitech receiver, documentation and a USB-C cable! I am just glad to see accessories adopting the USB C format.
Set up confused me a little. It will not automatically start working on your PC if you plug in the USB C cable. You NEED to install the receiver to get this to work, it appears the USB C cable is only used for charging.
Once I got it working it was a beauty to behold as the lights glowed nicely. I started to play with the wheel in a few apps and it did not appear to do much other than control the volume. I went to the website and saw that there was software. This is a bit confusing too since I did not remember reading any software was needed in the manual. In short, download the "Logitech Options" software. This will enable full functionality on your computer and download profiles to enable advanced wheel functions in Office and Adobe suites.
One neat surprise when I was fully good to go was that the wheel adapts to the situation. If you are just switching tabs in chrome for example, it has a clicky feel to it. If you are playing a music app that needs volume, it automatically turns into a very smooth feel that enables perfection in your movements. I played around with Excel where changing charts and designs was easier and a similar experience in word.
There is a learning curve for the functions but the website and software have multiple tutorial videos to introduce you. I was not sure how useful this would be but the more I use it the more I like it.
As for being a simple keyboard, it doubles up for PC or MacOS. It has a windows key and a cmd key so you are good either way. You can pair this keyboard with up to three devices if you have the unifying receiver installed in multiple PCs (very useful!).
Typing this review on this keyboard I found myself having far fewer errors than I usually do. It is extremely precise and the keys have an outstanding amount of give that matches my taste perfectly.
Buy this keyboard immediately if you are a creative professional, writer, or simply spend a lot of time in front of a computer, you wont regret it! I had a few gripes with the setup but the awesomeness of this keyboard overcame that!

Perfect
on August 3, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
This will be my new everyday mouse on my gaming computer. It is not a mouse with a huge number of buttons, it is not overly flashy but it is probably the best mouse I have ever came across for my needs.
For starters, I like to game. Mostly strategy, FPS, 3rd person and simulation games, but I also do a lot of work and photo editing on my desktop. This being the case, it is always hard to find a good mouse that excels in all categories. I think I found it with the G703.
First off, it looks cool. It is mostly white with black accents. The G logo and wheel change color (this can be fine-tuned in the optional G software. The software is worth the download since you can customize various profiles such as lights, the surface you are using it on, key press heat maps and more.
Using it is very easy. The wireless mode is very plug and play for instant use even if you don’t download the software. Most wireless mice will charge with a tiny USB cable that plugs into the bottom, not this bad boy! They actually thought about how people use mice and provided a long, braided cable which plugs into the front of the mouse so you can use it as a wired mouse. The connector has a few extra plastic prongs around the USB connector that look like horns which reinforce the USB connector and prevent wear and tear.
The mouse allows for multiple DPI sensitivity levels which is great for different types of games and various work situations.
Great job to Logitech for making a perfect mouse!

Great juicer
on July 23, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
This is my first juicer so I had a bit of learning to do upon receipt on the assembly, proper usage and recipes that this could be used for. I would feel that overall it is a good juicer for a first-time user.
This unit comes in a pretty small package in my opinion but to achieve this there is a bit of assembly required. To a novice, some of the pieces don’t make much sense since they are not represented in the quick assembly guide but can be explained in the manual. This is a bit of an annoyance but not hard to figure out if you are willing to read a little bit.
Once you have it put together I tossed a few different fruits and veggies in there to see how it performs in various conditions. First, an apple. It worked flawlessly and going about 8 oz or so out of a single apple. Oranges and berries were a bit more of a challenge since the soft pulp did not always work its way through the system. More fibrous items such as carrots also fare well. Having no juicing experience, I was surprised that it took so many oranges to get juice out and I am sure this is very fruit specific seeing as how an apple could fill up a cup easily while it took three oranges to get the same. There is a small included recipe book which has some great juice recipes. It also comes with a small jug you can put juice into and seal up for later, or you can juice straight into a cup.
There are plenty of nice touches on this unit that makes it feel premium and well thought out. The metal accents and hard plastic feel very sturdy, and the unit looks great in a kitchen. If you plan on storing it the cable wraps around the base in a groove that is designed for that purpose.
Here is the main reason I took a star away. The unit advertises one-minute easy cleaning but it often doesn’t work that way. Some items are very simply to clean due to the quick disassembly. Some items such as oranges have much more intensive cleaning. Your first assembly and disassembly will be a bit of a puzzle but once you get used to it is no big deal if you plan the cleaning time.

Overall useful, few kinks to work out
on July 16, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
A huge time saver, it is hard to find many faults in this unit. Only one area is left to be desired, other than that it is almost a perfect device!
Unboxing the device has pretty much zero assembly and you will find the device inside, a barrier device (to keep your robot from cleaning certain areas), documentation, a charging pad and batteries for the barrier device. It has A LOT of cardboard inside so you will have much trash to throw away after unboxing. Set up is a breeze, plug the charging pad into the wall, put your Roomba on top to charge and wait until it is ready. When ready to begin, press start on the robot or download the app to set up more advanced functions.
In operation, it works almost perfectly. The brush heads are both rubber (no actual brush) which will reduce or eliminate tangles from hair picked up off of the floor. The actual brush/vacuum area in the robot is small so expect a long vacuum period to finish a room or floor. It did a great job cleaning most surfaces and gets under the furniture very easily.
I only experienced one or two annoyance/problems in operation. Most of the sensors on the device seem to be pressure sensitive or dust sensing when vacuuming. It also has infrared sensor on top to find its charging station. Because of that, it cannot “see” where it is going, it kind of just picks a direction and keeps going until it bumps into something and eventually gets the whole room. Supposedly it uses the infrared sensors to kind of map out the room but it really feels like it is a lot of bump and go work at work here. Like I said, it is simply an annoyance since it seems there could be more efficient ways of getting the cleaning done. Otherwise my only problem is the charging cradle. It does not seem to sit very well on carpeted surfaces and the robot had issues docking with it autonomously. I had better performance on hard wood since it has a small grip pad on the bottom.
Setting a timer on the device for example, is great! It only cleans on Tuesdays and Fridays is great! You go to work and your house is vacuumed when you get home. Sometimes you need to find the unit since it cannot always find its ways back to the charging cradle though.
The dirt cartridge is small so expect to clean it out each time you vacuum but this is to be expected with a small device such as this. It does a great job picking up most dirt, rarely if ever get tangled in cords or objects and mostly works as advertised. A great product overall.

A Perfect Cup
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
Overall, I am quite pleased with this unit. I have had many single serve and carafe coffee makers in the past and this one seems to fit my needs perfectly.
I was a bit turned off initially when unpacking since it seemed like it had a lot of extra thing-a-ma-bobs in the packaging but all serve a use and don’t take too much effort to figure out. Included in the box are the unit, a carafe, a permanent filter, water reservoir, coffee scoop (for proper measuring) and lots of protective plastic and cardboard.
Assembly is simple to figure out, after cleaning the unit I tried to make my first pot and hit a quick snag. Being the typical “I don’t need no stinkin’ documentation” kind of guy that I am, I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t allow me to brew a pot of coffee when I pushed the buttons and it indicated it was warm enough. Turns out there is a small tab on the drip area which blocks any excess drip into the pot, you must turn that switch off… it is in the documentation but easy to miss since it is small and not too obvious.
The coffee brewer can brew four sizes of coffee in cup, travel mug, half carafe or full carafe. In addition, it can brew classic strength, rich brew or iced coffee. The measuring spoon ensures perfect coffee each time. I was extremely surprised with my first cup as it brewed a much better coffee than my previous brewer. Iced coffee came out perfect and a half carafe is perfect for two people going to work.
There is a delayed brew feature as well that is pretty simply to use if you want your pot ready the next morning (just make sure that annoying drip tab is set to “open”).
Overall, I think this brewer is a great buy. It looks good, makes great coffee with many choices (since it uses grounds) and lets you make many serving sizes.

Not great not bad
on July 2, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
I came into this product test with high hopes but I just wasn't wowed or disappointed when finished. I am just kind of stuck with a shrug and an ok product that I don't hate or love.
First off, the product doesn’t look too inspired when you first see it but it isn’t poor quality either. It just feels… average. The contents are straightforward with the headphones, documentation, mini cable clips, a blue USB cable, LOTS of earbuds for a perfect fit and a case. Kudos on the case since most manufacturers don’t bother these days.
Pairing is your routine Bluetooth experience. It is advertised to get about 12 hours of battery life charged via micro USB 2.0. It is hidden under a rubber flap on the control part of the cable. Love rubber flaps or hate em but it keeps the device water resistant.
My first problem was the fit. It was hard to get a comfortable fit. Of course, everyone’s ears are going to be different but I rarely have any issues when trying out headphones, most seem to fit pretty well (with the exception of Powerbeats). Even with all the ear bud fittings, I couldn’t get a good seal, I found one that was satisfactory but I could tell when I held the earbuds in place with a perfect fit that I was probably going to miss out on some of the sound quality. The loop that goes around the ear feels kind of cheap and adjusts a little bit but not enough to hold it in my ear’s sweet spot. The cable connecting the two earbuds felt basic and I couldn’t help but wonder how it would hold up to wear and tear over time. The control pad has basic controls like volume and pause, it feels like cheap plastic. The earbuds themselves don’t look bad and feel of higher quality.
The sound quality is actually pretty good. I listen to a lot of electronic when working out and the bass is heavy but not overpowering, most of the details are there but mids seems a little plain. I was using my device with a phone which supports APT-X, also supported by the headphones. A good amount of the detail was present and the headphones were comfortable for wear for extended periods of time. It was nice not having to worry about the battery dying mid workout since it advertises about 12 hours of batter life.
Overall, if you can find a good fit and do not mind some of the cheaper materials, I think you might really like these headphones. Those are my only gripes and it might be user specific since I could never get a perfect fit. The sound quality was above average, it was easy to use and had great battery life and splash resistance. It seems like it had equal number of pros and cons so it is really up to the reader. Hope this helps!

Perfect laptop mouse
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
It is hard for me to say anything bad about this mouse. To begin, it is a travel mouse so you should expect a slightly smaller size than a desktop mouse. Aside from that possible issue, it is near perfect!
The device comes in a high-quality box that looks premium. There is the mouse, a dongle, usb cable (for charging) and documentation inside. The dongle is not needed if you are going to connect via Bluetooth but the RF connection might provide smoother mouse input.
Setup is a breeze. I charged the device via micro USB 2.0, plugged in the dongle and was gtg. For testing I tried pairing with Bluetooth, performance here was above average compared to other Bluetooth mice I have used in the past with smooth scrolling and quick response. I wouldn’t mind playing some action games via Bluetooth with this thing, its that good!
Ergonomics are superb other than it big a bit smaller. It fits perfect in the right hand and has four main buttons, a scroll wheel with smooth or precise scrolling, a middle button that can be user assigned. The materials it is made of are high quality and it feels like it would do great after a few drops. The battery life seems fine so far and should last a long time.
I recommend you download the Logitech software for mouse updates and to gain the ability to reassign buttons as needed.
Again, I can find no fault in this mouse. Go buy it now!

Great for kids!
on May 31, 2017
Posted by: psyclopps
from Everett, WA
These things are great for kids overall. My child is 4 and went crazy for them when he saw them. As a parent I feel they are very appropriate for the age and safe for child use.
They packaging is barely bigger than the headphones and is rather straight forward. Upon opening, the device itself is perfect size for children and is an on the ear form factor so it will allow a decent amount of sound to come in from the outside. The stickers come in a variety of designers that the child can put on the ear portions. The stickers shift shape when you move them. The blue design is fun for kids, they are lightweight, and fold up for travel.
Sound quality was a bit hard to test since it was hard to wear them as an adult. Surprisingly there is a good amount of bass on these, there is very little detail on the higher notes though and sounds a little flat. For what they are they are pretty good headphones overall and I am sure kids will not be obsessing over sound quality, I would rate them at a 6/10 when compared to a good pair of adult headphones. Concerning safety, the maximum volume is relatively low to protect kids hearing. The build quality feels above average compared to similar products. They are made of plastic but feel much sturdier than others I have tried and will probably stand up well to toddler abuse.

And you rose from the ground to face your worst nightmare. Hordes of mutants killing without a thought, bandit gangs wreaking havoc throughout the already defunct wasteland, a looming Authority seizing maniacal power and holding secrets — this is what remains of humanity. The world as you know it is gone, but if any world is to stand in its place, there's only one person left who can raise it up from the ashes — you. That is, if you can survive the Rage.Step up to the challenge and climb into the wasteland in the first-person shooter that flings you to the edge of the earth and the brink of extinction. Rage pits you against the odds in a desolate world in which you were selected for survival — just to face death at every turn. To redeem humanity, you must master a massive arsenal of exotic wingsticks, sentry bots, bomb cars and other powerful weapons and fearlessly wage war against the evil forces overtaking your planet.

Game was not tested properly
By skullboy88 from Los Angeles, CA
First of all the reason for such a low rating is that the game is not playable. Right out the box. Now, I have been building pc's for over 10 years and have sunk hundreds of dollars into my rig to play the most demanding games. And I do. The problem is that ID software sent out a game to the public that is not finished. Google, rage graphics problems and you will find a magnitude of arcticles about poor graphics bad drivers and other issues. AMD and Nvidia have been working for a driver patch but reports from many say they do not work to fix the tearing and poor rendering . People are paying $60.00 for a pc game. Dont you think it should work right away without having to wait for a patch?

Horrid Sound
By DELienz from Delaware
I had pair of Sony Headphones that I bought a few years ago for approx. $50 dollars... Sounded Amazing, but I recently ran then over with my car... Anyway bought these assuming the sound would be similar and also compensate for my only complaint with my other heardphones which was falling constantly out of my ear during workouts. Turns out these are more expensive but that sound terrible. Tried changing the setting on my IPOD and there is no overcoming the lack of bass. I am a auidiophile and I do listen to music a lot of double bass and drums so bass is something I must have in a headphone. If that's what you looking for don't buy these. I'm confident cheaper headphones with the same quality sound can be obtained so I would not recommend these to anyone...

Balanced Armature
June 28, 2012
Balanced Armature headphones are designed to sound like the original recording. Most headphones these days are "dynamic armature" which are designed kind of like a hardware equilizer where bass is usually most important. Any of these balanced armature headphones are aimed specifically at audiophiles as they repoduce very true to original sound with detailed mid ranges and highs.

Will every unit come with two ethernet ports? Can they be used for wired backhaul or direct ethernet?

Yes, each unit comes with two ethernet. I haven't tried wired backhaul but you can indeed plug them all directly to the router for direct ethernet.

Capture up to 1440p video with this Nextbase 522GW dash camera. Alexa enables hands-free control through voice commands, and Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi technologies sync with compatible smartphones for quick access to important footage. This Nextbase 522GW dash camera has ports for connecting compatible camera modules for easy expansion.
 

How does Alexa give you directions to your desired destination? Do they show up on the screen, or is this Alexa feature not available on this dash cam?

Alexa is present but it does not integrate into any build in GPS as far as I can tell. There are other devices such as the Garmin speak which combines a dash cam with Garmin + Alexa navigation via a skill but there is no screen on that device.

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
 

Can you please tell me more about the dash cam. Can it be controlled by voice or a remote button? Where does it store the videos and how can I get them? Through wifi or only sd card?

It is simply always recording. There is a separate app you must download if you want to view on your phone. It will connect to your phone via wi-fi but you can take out the Micro SD card if you want to plug the videos in to your computer. There is an overlay option which tells the drivers speed and a little more info as well. It also records in car audio.

If maps stay up to date , is the system using my data plan ? Garmin & TomTom use satellites , what does this system use ? Does this system in any way use my data plan and if so , how ?

I did a trip to a national park using this device. It appears there are no downloaded maps as the moment I lost my data connection the device didn't know what to do. It seems it is always using your data plan as long as you are using pretty much any of its features other than dashcam.

With all these features, Does it scan the road and next to the road for objects such as DEER ? If so will it alert you ?

From my experience, no. There is only lane detection warning and collision detection warning as added safety features.

Is there any way to do talk to text in tablet mode? Or make the keyboard swype at least?

There is no dictation function but there is a few keyboard settings that could help. You could configure the touch keyboard in split layout so you can use only your thumbs on each side of the screen to type. It takes a little practice but is useable when you get used to it. There is a also a "Scribble" mode where you can write on the screen and it will turn it into text.
