Pour wine without removing the cork by using the Coravin Model Two wine system. The durable needle pierces the cork so you can pour, and then the cork reseals when the needle is removed to preserve the remaining wine. This Coravin Model Two wine system comes with two capsules that let you pour up to 30 glasses of wine.

Somms’ new toy

I am extremely impress with ease of use. The Coravin system really works well. Directions are simple to follow.
**NOTE** the cork needs time to “close up” after the needle was remove. I made the mistake of turning the bottle upside down right when I removed the needle and got a drop of wine on the cork (see image)
If you have collection of wines but don’t want to open the bottle to drink a glass this is a MUST BUY.

First time cordless vacuum owner
on September 21, 2017
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
This is our first cordless battery powered vacuum and the results do not disappoint. Overall it's extremely lightweight, easy to use and store. The best feature would be the flexible wand which allows for us to clean under our furniture and beds without having to move anything. A lot of "light weight" vacuums claim the ability to do this but because the base tends to be so thick it doesn't reach as far. The ionFlex base is extremely thin and can reach deep into the middle of our bed.
We would've given the full 5 stars but unfortunately the battery dock is an "upgradeable" accessory. Why not just include it?
All in all the vacuum does not disappoint. We haven't had a chance to try out the dyson but given that we're satisfied with this one we don't think we would need to give it a second thought

Great Gaming Router.
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Love the packaging, the “gift box” packaging is sexy..
Setup process took longer than expected. Plugged in the power and internet to the router and tried to connect wirelessly no good. Wouldn’t give me access to the setup page. Connected via cable and same issue.. Power down and restarted my cable modem and new router same issue.. I had to reset the router ( press little red button for few seconds) and that worked.
So far I’ve connected about 10 devices: Iphones, Samsung S8, Smart TV, 2 laptops, MSI GS63 Gaming Laptop (killer network built in), android tablet, Roku, Intel smart stick, HP All in One Printer. No issues with connectivity and supporting multiple devices.
So I ran Netflix on my TV, Amazon prime on my Roku (other TV), wife on her laptop and iphone surfing web and me on my MSI GS63 playing Overwatch. This router does what it says it does “prioritize” my MSI GS63 laptop traffic without going into settings. So I’m happy about that.
One thing I like about this router is the user interface is user friendly. Also it’s a sleek looking router.
Now I wonder what will happen during a LAN party when all laptops/desktops have Killer Network installed ?
4 stars.. setup was a pain.

OK fit OK sound OK headphones
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: Techuser
I own a lot of different head phones.. I have over the ear noise canceling, over the ear non noise canceling, ear buds with hooks, ear buds without hooks, wireless ear buds with wings (just with the JBL) , and wireless ear buds with hooks.
All the headphones serve a different purposes and have their pros and cons.
As for the JBL Everest 110, its just “OK”. I found it difficult to a proper fit/seal in my ear. The sound quality was good but not great. Connecting via Bluetooth the first time was simple with no issues.
While using these head phones I experienced it disconnecting from my device once (dropped single). Also, while turning my head left or right the ear buds will become loose. This was annoying.
Overall I would still recommend this head phones but know the limitations.

Not for everyone.

Good
- Easy to sync with phone and other devices
- Great build quality
- Comes with a lot of different ear pieces
- The cable clips are good when you want to adjust the length

Bad
- Became loose during my workouts not very comfortable. Tried all the different ear pieces. (jumping jacks, running in place, jumping up and down in place, pushups, planks/ side planks.)
- The ear clips made my ear sore after 10 min.. maybe I put them on wrong ?? too tight ?
- The ear clips made my ear sore after 10 min.. maybe I put them on wrong ?? too tight ?
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re going to use them for work outs. The fit was very disappointing. Other might have better luck.

Must have device
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: Techuser
Must have speakers.. clear, crisp, deep and rich sound quality. Great for indoor or outdoor usage.
Little to no distortion in max settings with bass rich audio.
The speakers have a rubberized finish which is one of the best features. It’s not going to scratch or slip on the floor. I haven’t tired the throwing water on it, but I am pretty sure its splash proof based on the description.
Attention to detail.. The unit is also a powerbank, so you can charge your device while playing music.

Samsung sound bar vs $100 sound bar
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: Techuser
This sound bar replaced my $100 2 channel sound bar with no sub woofer.
I am impressed with the sound quality. I definitely can hear the richness and depth of the audio but its not as much as I thought it would be. My friend has sound bar with wireless sub woofer ( around $200) and the quality of his sound bar was alot better. With his sound bar you can really feel the bass.
I've had issues with this sound bar dropping audio on ARC mode. It could be TV ( VIZIO E55-XXX model) but i didn't have this problem with my old sound bar.
After using the sound bar for 2 weeks i wouldn't recommend this to a friend. I stick with a sound bar and sub woofer combo

Powerful router but disconnects intermittently
on June 5, 2017
Posted by: Techuser
I’m not really sure how I want to rate this. This router is very simple to setup and is one of the more powerful router I’ve come across. Speeds on both bands (when working) are amazing. The range on the device is also very good. I have a 2000sqft home and the device is located upstairs in the middle of the house. There’s no dead spots and I will still be connected even if I go out to the drive way. I have over 20 devices connected to it on both 2.4 and 5GHZ channels (cell phones, desktops, laptops, tablets, TVs, security cameras and game consoles.)
However, the one issue I immediately encountered was intermittent disconnects on the 5GHz channels across various devices. I updated the firmware right away and cycled the device hoping for the issue to disappear but the disconnection continued. Although it’ll re-connect almost immediately after it disconnects but it’s still very frustrating. So when it’s working, this is an awesome router. I had been busy to troubleshoot it more but until the problem with the 5GHz gets fixed I won’t be able to recommend this unit to others.

Can this unit also be a car front license plate camera?
I dont think so. its suppose to be installed on the mirror.. technically you can install the rear camera to the front license plate but you wont see much. meaning you will only maybe 3 to 4ft height only.

Is there a wire from the video cable that connects to the display reverse trigger wire? So that the camera will go in reverse when I shift it into reverse. Also why would relays be needed in some newer cars? Shouldn't I be able to tap reverse lights?
Yes. for the rear view camera there is a red wire that you connect to your backup lights that activate the rear view camera
