Shark chomps the competition to pieces!
on August 29, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
I have been a big fan of the Shark family of vacuum products, as I currently own an older model which I love.
Unboxing and the setup process up was easy. A few clicks here and there and it was ready to use. There was no need to reference any set up materials as everything was straight forward.
The vacuum is highly maneuverable and pretty quiet in the normal setting. I was pleased with how well it cleaned my floors and carpets and how easy it was to clean the vacuum itself. The brush-roll did not clog with long hair when I used it. There are two people in my household that have long hair and on other vacuum models its was always an issue with hair becoming wrapped around the brush-roller. NO MORE tangled hair in the rollers! What a relief as I hate untwisting hair from vacuum rollers.
PROS:
Control buttons are located in an easy to activate position.
Suction power is adjustable.
Vacuum is easy to utilize on both hardwood/tile floors and carpeting.
The brush-roll does not clog with long hair.
Vacuum is lighted and lights up the travel path.
Vacuum has an air freshener which makes your home smell really nice during the cleaning process.
Battery life is exceptional.

CONS:
The vacuum had a tendency to grab small rugs when vacuuming.
You are unable to store vacuum in an upright position unless you take it apart.

All in all, I'm enjoying this Shark vacuum. It's fantastic at picking up dirt during the first sweep of the floor. I did not have to vacuum any sections of my home more than once. Best of all its cordless and has good battery life. My home is approximately 2000 square feet, and I had no problem on the medium and low settings in finishing my entire home without recharging. This product automatically increases suction when it senses and encounters dirty areas on your floor. Look out competition......Here comes the SHARK!

Short and sweet. This printer rocks!
on August 27, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
The HP LaserJet Tank 2504dw is a wireless Black-and-White Laser Printer that comes standard with 2 years' worth of printing toner. You will have to set up your new printer via app and set up an HP Smart account. You will need an internet connection for the setup process. I found the printing capability to be of great quality. Clear fast printing was the norm. I did not experience any paper jams during regular printing as well as printing some addresses on envelopes. Ink was dry to the touch as soon as the page was finished printing.
When I first unpacked the printer, I was worried that the "depth" of the 15.4 inches might have been too long for my printer shelf. As it turns out, the printer which it replaced had a similar footprint even though it had an internal paper tray. Needless to say, crisis averted.
Printing and scanning are the only two options with this product. It does not have faxing or copying capabilities. As far as I'm concerned, faxing is not something that I routinely need to do but I do on occasion have to copy a document. I guess the work-around for coping is taking a taking a picture of my document and emailing it to myself. The second option was for me to scan the document with my iPhone and print it.
The manufacturer boasts of a print speed of 23 pages per minute. I did find this to be true during my testing of this product, as it is quite fast. What I enjoyed most was the mobile printing capability, as I always seem to need to print something from my iPhone 13 Pro.
This printer is workhorse. It is quite easy to set up, prints really good-looking documents, it has both wireless and wired capabilities and works well. I have no real complaints.

Great disposer, super easy install.
on August 17, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
This product replaces my 29-year-old disposer which has performed flawlessly. After all these years of service, I decided to change my unit out as I was already upgrading my kitchen cabinets and counter tops. There was no better time for this project. The Frigidaire disposer unit was an easy install. I classify myself as a DIY (do it yourself) type person and I had no problems with the swap out of my old unit. Installation took me approximately 25 minutes. Most of the time during this project came down to the removal of my old unit.
This Frigidaire disposer unit has a regular electric plug. I had to cut the plug off and splice the ends of the wires into my existing electrical hookup because underneath my sink I did not have a dedicated wall socket. Something to keep in mind during your installation.

A really nice feature of this disposer are the included magnets which install around the neck of the product. The magnets are intended to catch metal utensils that might accidentally fall into your drain. I'm not sure if this system is 100% foolproof, but it's nice to know the unit has this featured accessory and safeguard.
What is not included with this disposer unit are the drain line hoses which flow out of your dishwasher. This means that if you have an existing dishwasher, you will have to utilize the old hoses from your dishwasher because they are not included with this product. Otherwise, you will have to go out and purchase new hoses.
So far, I am really satisfied with this product. The unit works great, and when in operation is pretty quiet. It operates well under the stress of chopping and grinding table scraps. It had no problem powering through the table scraps we disposed of. It is equipped with sound insulation and has a long warranty. Nice product and I recommend it.

Professional combination oven.
on July 15, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
This GE product is just plain wonderful. The oven is very modern looking, and it fits well with my other stainless-steel kitchen appliances. To me, stainless-steel is always pleasing to the eye and always fits well with just about any type of style or kitchen you might have.
One great feature of this appliance is having so many cooking modes as well as a good range of cooking temperatures. I'm sure that one of the 14 cooking modes will meet all of your cooking needs, such as baking, crisping, toasting, reheating, warming, and so on.

One of my favorite foods is either frozen or homemade pizza. A 12-inch pizza easily fits into this appliance and the results were great. I tried a frozen pizza, and the results were terrific. It came out cooked to perfection, had great taste and was not burned. I love the fact that I don't need to use my full-size oven and my kitchen temperature stayed a lot cooler. This is a big plus since I reside in South Florida.
One of our families' other favorite foods are French fries. The crisping and cooking of our fries were superb. Since the basket has a mesh build to it, the air circulated around the fries evenly which made for a very uniform cooking experience. I did take caution as to not overload and layer to many fries at one time thereby ensuring even cooking.
The appliance cooks with numerous quartz heating elements. Heating up the oven is super quick and efficient. It has a bright digital display which is pretty good sized. For those older consumers, not having to wear a pair of glasses was very welcomed. This appliance does have a substantial footprint, so take caution as to the placement. Surfaces do get hot, so ensure you have the appropriate amount of ventilation and space when utilizing. Take note of your overhead kitchen cabinets to ensure you have enough room to prevent heat from transferring to them.
This appliance has the capability of WIFI controlled cooking. As of the date and time of this review I did not use this function. That being said, I may eventually use this function and post an update to this review. Just having this capability is cool when you think about it though.
A few thoughts on supplied baking tray, pizza tray and wire tray for air frying. The build and strength of the baking tray seems fine. It seems very sturdy. Wire basket tray for air frying seems to be on the flimsy side. I would have preferred the mesh to have been constructed on the thicker side. The reason that I am concerned with this is during the cleaning process. I wonder how many times one can put force on it with a steel wool pad before it starts to "bow". Finally, the baking tray for pizza is completely flat and lacks sides. I would have like to see the "build" of the pizza tray include a lip or sides around the outside of the tray. This is just my personal preference though.
In closing, I'm loving this appliance. With its many capabilities, it easily replaced many of my counter-top appliances that I have such as my air fryer and stand-alone toaster oven. I experienced awesome performance, even and thorough cooking of my foods and great results.

Great Hard-Shell Phone Case. Go Modal!
on July 9, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
I own an iPhone 13 Pro cell phone and all along I have been using a knock-off shell case. Enter the Modal hard-shell case. What strikes me immediately was the white color of this case. The white color against my iPhone gives off a nice color contrast.
The case surrounds my iPhone well. All of its buttons are fully operational, and the lightning port is accessible and fully functional. The back of the case is clear plastic and is advertised as being scratch resistant. The manufacturer claims that the case is shock resistant from a drop up to 6 feet on wooden floors. Honestly, I was not going to drop my iPhone from 6 feet to test that claim.
The magnetic charger when fitted to the back phone case does allow for wireless charging to occur. This is an important aspect, as sometimes I charge wirelessly and other times with the lightning cord attached. So, the case works regardless of the charging method utilized.
If you are looking for a decent case for protection of your device, you found it. The case is not slippery when handled, offers decent drop protection, is slim in nature, and looks and feels great. Buy one, as it has made my recommended list.

The mini-sized, mega-capable DJI Mini 3 Pro is just as powerful as it is portable. Weighing less than 249 g and with upgraded safety features, it's not only regulation-friendly, it's also the safest in its series. With a 1/1.3-inch sensor and top-tier features, it redefines what it means to fly Mini.

Professional Quality Drone.
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
This is my second drone as far as ownership is concerned. The mini 3 Pro by far is the best that I have ever owned. I'm always a little apprehensive when it comes to new drone ownership due to fear of wrecking one. After viewing videos which are available from the manufacturer, my fears waned quickly. Video instructions are fantastic, and I quickly learned the ins and outs of the drone's operation and its capabilities. There are three differing flight modes to choose from. C for cinematic mode, N for normal mode and S for sport mode. This drone is "light on its feet", highly maneuverable, fast, and super fun to fly. Set up was pretty quick and after an initial download of needed software and a battery charge, I was ready for the clear blue skies.
Like all of my drones, I did spend a fair amount of time reviewing the online manual for its usage. I would say that I'm on the more cautious side, so I wanted to be sure that I was able to handle this drone properly. The controls have a default setting (number 2) if you read the manual. Operation of the controls are easy, and the screen is brilliantly lit so it makes it easier to see it in direct sunlight.
What I love about this drone is its obstacle avoidance system. One very important note: Obstacle avoidance is "not" available in all flying modes, so I would highly suggest that you read up on and familiarize yourself with this topic. The drone is equipped with forward, backward, and downward dual-vision sensors which to help avoid obstacles. Better to be knowledgeable and avoid crashing your new drone, so read up please.
Flights were easy, smooth, and the general flight handling of the drone was uneventful. During my flights, I never experienced and communication failures. A few times during flight, I couldn’t see it anyone and yet it managed to stay connected. The battery is rated at about 34 minutes, and as a general rule that turned out to be quite accurate.
The drone weight comes in at 249 grams, which is under the weight requiring you to register the device with the FAA. The drone seems relatively well built; however, I would always suggest that most of your flights should be in a mode with obstacle avoidance enabled. The smoothest mode is the cinematic mode for obvious reasons.
Two of my favorite shooting modes are circle and rocket modes. The Mini 3 Pro has a f/1.7 aperture, takes 48 mega pixel photos, records videos in 4K/60 fps and can also slo-motion record. Video quality is awesome, colors were true to life and just breath-taking. I love the way the drone circles the subject matter while in the circle operation. You will have to experiment with your drone as to exactly what types of pictures or videos you wish to capture. Vertical video was fun to experiment with, as I never had a drone which was capable of this. I was unable to object track when in the vertical mode. I guess this is a limitation with its software/capabilities.
I was also very impressed with the image stabilization during video recording and picture taking. The playback quality of my videos was rock-steady, and pictures were always sharp and clear.
The drone comes with 1.2 GB of internal storage which is rather small. Therefore, I would suggest that the user install a Micro-SD card if you are interested in shooting videos, and for taking pictures. Video footage is amazing, and I can't wait to take this drone on vacation. My storage card is 128 GB and I have plenty of room for lots of videos and still pictures.
The Mini 3 Pro is amazing in all respects, and I have no real complaints. The drone is packed with so many quality features it's hard to mention them all. If you are looking for a world class drone look no further. This is an action-packed drone which has brought me nothing but great flying and photographic experiences. I'm looking forward to using this little baby a lot more in the future. One minor note: I would have liked to see an included carrying case as well as an extended battery as standard equipment.

From across the room or across the country, Sensi makes it easy for you to remotely control and schedule your home comfort - Anytime. Anywhere.
Posted by: WesternSky
This Emerson product is very stylish. The thermostat is illuminated and there is no need for batteries. I installed this device by myself and the video instructions that Emerson provides are world class. They are all very easy to follow and provide great information. If your present air conditioners thermostat does not have a "C" wire, you will absolutely need to make some adjustments during the installation process. Luckily the videos provide all the answers and guidance that you need to self-install this thermostat. Installation in my home took less than 10 minutes, so if I could do it, you can do it too.
My favorite feature was the flexible scheduling and its remote access features. This according to the manufacturer can save you as much as 23 percent on your energy bill. In my own case, I have not owned the product long enough to see if my energy usage has changed. You can also monitor usage reports with respect to historical usage/runtimes and set up filter replacement reminders. The display also has a humidity readout.
This thermostat really does it all and I'm absolutely loving this product. It is very reasonably priced as compared to other models, and in fact it has more features than its competitors. I'm expecting years of trouble-free service and hope to change out a second thermostat in my home.

Protection at its best. Fantastic Product.
on June 29, 2022
Posted by: WesternSky
Norton is a leader of anti-virus software and is a division of Norton-Life-Lock, so I'm expecting awesome results from this product. Installation of this Norton product was smooth, uncomplicated and quick via home internet connection.
The software is user friendly, and it continues to run well on my computer. Very important to me is the fact that the software doesn't slow down my computer or hog valuable memory or system resources. Some of the areas of protection that Norton affords the user is Dark Web Monitoring, Secure VPN, Cloud Back up, Password manager, Parental Controls, System Troubleshooter, System Restore, Drive Scrubber, Privacy, File Shredder, Disk Defragmentation, Start Up Optimizer, Ram Reclaimer and more. This is the most powerful software that I have ever used, and I have every confidence in it. All aspects of the software run extremely well, it integrated well with my operating system (Windows 11) and I'm very happy with its fast and seamless performance.
One's computer is protected in many ways, and real time protection is a must. One feature which was amazing was the Dark Web Scan. You can input your address, driver's license numbers, banking account information, credit card information, maiden name, and a few more and have the software scan the Dark Web. The software will generate results and data breaches for your review. In my personal case, I was amazed that several things were disclosed to me for which I had absolutely no knowledge of. I was alerted to the fact that my Adobe email and password was breached many years ago and I had no idea. Recommendations were to change passwords with immediacy.
Since the installation of this product, I feel very protected. Just knowing that my personal information and browsing is being safeguarded is a real nice feeling. I no longer worry about being a victim of a virus or ransomware and having the protection that Norton provides is definitely a mind pleaser. Having a VPN is also a great feature.
So far, I am very happy with this Norton product. I am pretty confident at the level of protection this software provides. Scans run very smoothly, I have no computer lag what-so-ever and everything runs normally. I'm confident that the software is able to catch phishing schemes, ransomware, and all sorts of virus attacks prior to one's computer becoming infected. Installation was quick and simple, and the software works as advertised. Nice product.

This is the second Canon printer that I have used and owned. I've had my other Canon printer for years and have never experienced a single paper-jam or problem, so I'm expecting my new printer to be trouble free and stellar. So far this Canon printer is great!
The Maxify printer is a pretty decent all-in-one printer. My printer is being exclusively being utilized for home printing. It has a pretty large paper capacity (250 sheets), offers super quick printing in both black/white and in color. It can be used in both home and office setting. It will print up to 24 pages per minute in the black and white mode and it also has double sided copies. The Maxify has large ink reservoirs, and the manufacturer boasts 6000-9000 B/W copies and 14,000-21,000 color copies.
The printer is pretty stylish and has a touch screen, and it also has a pretty small footprint. The functions are pretty easy to use and scroll to. What I love the most is the wireless printing. Setup was flawless with my Microsoft Surface Windows based desktop computer, my Asus laptop, as well as use with my iPhone 13 Pro. I had to download the printer drivers before I could utilize the product. All you do is just follow some easy instructions and you are ready to print wirelessly.
You also have scanning copying and faxing capabilities. I printed wirelessly and output results and quality were awesome. Clean prints and color charts were vibrant. The printer is relatively quiet during a print routine.
Pros:
****All-in one printer which copies, scans, prints and can fax.
****Fast and easy set up.
****Nice quality color and black and white prints.
****No compatibility problems with my Windows 10 and 11 operating system, and my IPhone 13 Pro.
****WIFI capable.
Cons:
**** None
Overall, I'm very happy with the printer. It's pretty quiet and handled all of my personal printing jobs with ease. This is an awesome printer for both home and office use. The Maxify performed very well in my test usage. I didn't experience any paper-jams during my daily use. The output quality of this printer is great, with crisp clean prints being the norm. I definitely recommend this printer for your everyday print jobs. I was quite pleased with this product, and you should be also!

Design meets function with the BESPOKE Cube Air Purification System by Samsung. This visually appealing, virtually silent Air Purification System traps large dust particles, helps remove unpleasant odors, and captures ultrafine dust, providing clean air for your home.
Posted by: WesternSky
This is my second venture into owning an air purifier product. I know a lot of consumers reading this review will be wondering, exactly how do you judge an air purifying product?
I live in a home which is approximately 1800 square feet. We are constantly going in and out of our home all day, we have a parrot, cook pretty frequently, and do quite a bit of baking.
The first thing that stuck me is the size of this product. It is pretty wide and has a large footprint. This alone told me that that amount of air that is going to be pushed by this unit is going to be pretty substantial. The noise level of this product is non-existent on the low settings and on the highest settings it still remained tolerable.
I have my unit located in my bedroom. I can honestly say that it removes that stale air smell as well as clothes odors. I keep my unit on low and it does an amazing job.
The unit has a set of small wheels on the bottom side. This definitely aided in the movement of the unit and its placement.
I found the App once download and saved to my phone was decent working. My air purifier was connected to my IPhone 13, and the paring and connection was relatively simple. You can control the product in two ways. Either control it directly from the product itself, or control it thru the Smart Things app. It is nice to be able to have this choice, as there are a lot of products on the market which are ONLY controllable via an app.

A safety note on this product. The front grill moves in and out according to what speed the unit is set to. On higher speeds, the grill is in the wide open position, and on the lower speeds the grill is more closed. If you have children, you should be careful when changing settings, as you want to ensure fingers or other objects don't become caught.
Thus far, since I have had this product, it has worked wonderfully. In closing, I'm pretty happy with this product. On low speeds the air purifier is nearly silent which is perfect for light sleepers. Having a product that is capable of removing a dust, particles, odors and other impurities from your breathable air is great. I am definitely loving this product.

The Acer Tablet is an absolute delight. This is my fist experience with a tablet and what a nice surprise. My whole family doesn't want to put it down! The processor is fast, doesn't get hot even after extended periods of use and does most everything my home computer does. The tablet keyboard is very responsive and has a great feel to it. So far battery life has been amazing. Lots of use with SKYPE, emails, and internet browsing and battery life indicates plenty of charge. Having a great battery life will make you very happy. The tablet is very lightweight and has a great color display. The Acer tablet is very simple to operate, which is another plus. I am totally satisfied and very happy to own this product. This is an overall great tablet. Buy one.

Not so dynamite
December 14, 2016
I have to honestly put some updates to my review of this item. One or two days after the posting of my review this tablet become inoperable. Acer customer service had me factory reset this tablet. That option did not solve the problem. I had to ship this tablet back to Acer for repair. Tablet was received back from repair and the tablet once again is is need of repair after 6 days of use. Tablet has a sluggish response time, does not respond to Google search normally, stumbles when switching programs, and the list goes on. Asked Acer to replace this detective unit, as their customer service wants me to send it in for repairs once again! This unit has no reliability and consumers should be very careful. What an inconvenience as this tablet has less than three weeks use on it and now needs another repair. My five star rating of this unit should be changed to one star. The only positive for this tablet is battery life. I am very, very disappointed with this unit.

Our home is a coffee drinkers paradise, so the receipt of the DeLonghi was highly anticipated and welcomed. This household consumes at least 16 cups of coffee per day, which does not include the consumption of Cuban Coffee (Turkish/Greek Coffee as others call it) which is currently brewed through non-conventional means. What is meant by that is that Cuban/Turkish/Greek Coffee is not made with a specialty "coffee maker".
The DeLonghi is designed for the brewing of a variety of coffee-based beverages such as American Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Lattes, Hot Chocolate, as well as Cuban/Turkish and Greek coffees. It's cappuccino system easily prepares perfectly frothed coffee, and its 24-hour programmable timer lets you make up to 10 cups of your favorite brew on your personalized schedule. Great news for those users that like the option of using and brewing specialized coffees with ESE pods, as this machines allows for the use of them.
The DeLonghi has a quite a few niceties (some of which I will mention here, and others later on in my review), such as auto shut-off which promotes safe operation. This feature will turn your machine off after 2 hours. The unit has water filtration which helps you achieve that perfect cup of coffee. Also standard with this unit is a cup warmer. NICE touch!
This unit has a removable water tank which allows for easy refilling for when making Espresso, Cappuccino, Cuban, and Greek/Turkish coffee. Just detach the water tank and fill it underneath your kitchen sink faucet. YES! It should be noted the the drip coffee maker has a separate water supply which is not removable. This means that you have to fill the water tank by adding water via a pull out assembly that harbors that coffee filter housing. Noteworthy is the fact that the DeLonghi does not have that "plastic smell " which is almost always present in new coffee makers. Thank Goodness! A word concerning the coffee filter. The unit comes with a permanent metal mesh filter, meaning that you can throw out your paper filters! No more fumbling at 6:00 am trying to separate a paper coffee filter from that multi-pack! There is a removable drip tray keeps your counter tops nice and clean.The drip tray has a hidden "float" and when the water level get too high, the "tip" of the float sticks out through the grill which alerts you to spill out the excess water. This is very cool. This unit also comes with a cup warming surface located on-top of the machine. This is real nice, as many coffee drinkers are located in cold climates and the extra hand warmth feels nice.
The Delonghi comes with a professional style filter holders, both small and large. The filter holder has a very tight fit when attached to the unit. This is a must, as your Espresso and Cappuccinos are brewed under pressure. You certainly don't want a loose fit when brewing your favorites. A word about brewing American Coffee. The DeLonghi has a setting 1- 4 cups which allows for the slow brewing of your coffee. This setting allows the water to slowly be dripped onto the coffee grounds making for stronger coffee. If you have never had a unit with this option, you are in for a treat as they really work. I am not going to provide a review as to the taste of the coffee, lattes, etc as every ones taste is personal. The DeLonghi worked as advertised, and there are no complaints here. Enjoy your coffee.

I would like to add a footnote to my review, as I originally stated that I was not going to comment on the taste of the brewed coffee. I really feel that it would be a disservice if I didn't comment on the DeLonghi's cappuccinos. My entire family is now so hooked on cappuccinos. The frothiness, the creaminess, and the overall flavor is absolutely amazing (even without the milk). Much better than store bought! DeLonghi has done a great job with this machine. So very happy to own this unit. Thanks.

Cook your favorite dishes in this Cuisinart air fryer toaster oven. The oven compartment uses convection technology to deliver even heat to bake, broil and toast, and the integrated air fryer prepares classic fried foods without the need for oil. This Cuisinart air fryer toaster oven is whisper quite to minimize disruptions.
Can i place this where my inserted microwave is or does it get too hot?
I find that when the toaster oven is in use, it sides as well as the top does become hot. I would recommend that if you do use this appliance in a closed space, that it has plenty of ventilation as the outside does become hot. Personally I would not use this appliance directly underneath a kitchen counter unless you have plenty of space above it, otherwise the underside of your counters will get rather warm.

Take in the scenery with this Parrot ANAFI drone. The robust, compact design lets you carry it wherever the trail takes you, and the drone unfolds easily when it's time for flight. The camera captures beautiful 4K images and video, and this Parrot ANAFI drone keeps your footage smooth with its three-axis image stabilization.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Will anyone be coming out with prop guards for this drone? I need to film indoors and it seems to me many crashes can be avoided when flying super slow and being able to casually bump a wall without damaging the props and dropping the unit.
I'm not sure if Anafi will produce prop guards at the moment, but the Anafi does come supplied with extra props free of charge. Hope this helps you out

Can you attach a turntable?
No. The back of the receiver does not accommodate a turntable.

What laptop is for me, I need to know where to start!
I am a soon to be senior in high school and my birthday is coming up and I really want to know what kind of laptop is good for me. I want something with good graphics, memory, and procesing for really good gaming but i want something reliable and I can do and store large amounts of college work. I have no idea where to start...can you help?
Hi Sam. This unit comes with a solid state hard drive that is 256 Gigabyte, has good graphics, and a pretty fast processor. I believe that mostly ever computer on the market comes with a one year guarantee. Certain credit card companies will extend your guarantee for an additional year. Please check you credit card company to see which one will extend your warranty. Hope this helps you.
