It works but its BIG.
on December 20, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
This is a really big multi-function printer scanner copier. It takes up a lot of real estate space on my desk. Pictures on the website doesn’t really tell the story of how BIG this printer is. There is a loading tray on the bottom and paper feeder in the back. I guess if you need the paper feeder function for larger prints its worth it or if the bottom tray fails.
Cable connect weren’t in the back but inside the printer. That’s kind of weird to me.
The scanner hinge slams down if you’re not careful. Opening the printer also has the same problem of slamming down.
Took about 10 mins to setup the printer. Loading the ink which is also kind of deceiving. The black cartridge give you an impression it’s the same shape in the back but it narrows in the back not leaving room for more ink. I upgraded the firmware but need to find the password hidden in the inside back of the printer. Hard to get to since the printer is so BIG.
Despite all the negative this multi function printer does perform well. Its pretty fast in printing and scanning. (just printer 5 pages and scanned 5 pages as well).
I don’t recommend this for home usage unless you have a small home office/business that’s need all the larger paper format. With that said the over design isn’t very good but it functions well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mini Magic and Fun
on December 14, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
Super excited to get my first drone. It’s a little intimidating at first, trying to understand all the functions, features, buttons, remote, batteries etc it was a little overwhelming. But after about 10 mins of reading, going through the tutorials, watching the videos my excitement came back.
The DJI Mini drone is really small and feels very delicate. I guess it needs to be in order to fly. I am very surprise of the video and picture quality I was getting on the remote control display.
Pro
- The 3 batteries plus docking station charger is really useful. My kids wants to “play” more without having to wait for the battery to charge
- Light and compact design make it easy to carry and bring around
- Video and picture quality really good. I feel like a professional video producer
- Remote control with screen display work really well. I dont like the idea have the RC connected to my phone in case someone was calling.
- A lot of “how to” content and “expert advice” on the DJI Mini
Con
- Intimidating to start with all the buttons and lingo
- No step by step to get started. ( need to go online to find)
- Does get warm after using it for 20 mins. There might be concern if I use it at the beach some place with a lot of sun.
Overall, I highly recommend the DJI Mini for anyone looking to get started or is in the market for a drone. Its simple to use and easy to understand. I cant wait to take this on family vacations and other outings.
I would recommend this to a friend!

High expectation low results
on November 1, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
I had high expectation from the picture and the description of the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 headphone. It looked like a premium headset that I could use in the office, but I don’t think it will be my first choice.
Right out of the box I was surprised how light and flimsy the headset was. It felt more like a kids toy than a headset. Putting it on my head and ear it was “OK”. Maybe Logitech designed the headset to be really light for extended wear but the headset isn’t that comfortable. The ear covering doesn’t cover my ear completely. Wish there was different ear rings to get the right fit.
What I thought would be a useful function was the mic. Being able to retract it to mute and pull down to unmute look like a great idea. But after using it on my first Microsoft teams meeting those on the other side said I sounded soft and not very clear. There was a noticeable delay from pulling the mic down.
Best part of the headphone was paring unit to my laptop. I just turned on the headphone and my laptop detected it and setup in 10 seconds.
To me this is a basic headset with basic functions. It will get the job done but I don’t recommend it. Spend a little bit more for higher quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Must have addition for travelers
on October 6, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
I am super impress with the Plantronics Sync 20. I have about 7-10 difference conference calls a week. I’ve been using difference headsets (Bluetooth and wired) for these conference calls. They get the job done but people on the other side usually say I sound muffled. I’ve also had conference call where others needed to listen in so I had to use the laptop speakers (not good).
The Plantronics Sync 20 is a great addition to my work from home/office/hotel/airport/ everywhere lifestyle. Here is what I like about it
Pros
- The speakers plugs in VIA USB A port (comes with USB A to C adaptor)
- While plugged in charges and control works on computer
- Can connect VIA Bluetooth or USB plugged in both work
- Acts as a portable speaker.
- Clear audio on both sides
- Bluetooth setup was simple on phone and laptop.
- Cool feature can be a portal battery pack (charge phone)
Cons
- If connected VIA Bluetooth it act as a speakers first not as a headset
- Integrated USB cable I’m not a fan. What happens if it breaks ?
Overall, I would recommend this to those who travel or are on the go.

Must have for home owners
on September 20, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
Great addition to my home automation. I have lights, switches, plugs, TV, speakers, alarms, door locks connected together. All from different manufactures. I love the fact they all can work together. The Wyze cam/garage opener is a perfect fit to my home.
Setup was very simple. Some of the other devices that I needed to connect were as easy. Instruction were clear and they had video to show you. I like the different small accessory that was provided. (clips, ties, screws, two sided tape). Connecting it to Google Home system was easy as well.
My garage door opener didn’t have the “learn” function that works with the Wyze. I found the wires that connected to my garage door opener attached to the wall. I followed the instruction and took needle nose pilers and touch the two wires together. This “shorts” the garage door opener and opens/closes the door. Then connecting the Wyze to my garage door and works. Very simple
Images on the camera are clear. The wide screen view is important in the garage. However, the top of my garage doors has windows. So there is glare are certain times of the day which isn’t too bad.
Overall I recommend the Wyze to friends and family.

Must have at home
on September 8, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
There are a lot of air fryers out in the market. Some are good and function well and some are just out right bad. In this case the Bella Pro 6 QT is a sure win. After using it for about a week now I don’t have anything bad to say. In any small home appliances I wish there was a self-cleaning function but that will never happen.
Setup was pretty simple. The touch screen and instruction were easy to follow. I recommend the first few cooks you pay close attention to it. Like anything you cant just set it and forget it. Depending on a the size and temp of the food you are cooking it could burn or possibly cook unevenly .
I mentioned this before but cleaning it can be a problem. I recommend using paper towels to soak up the oils/juices from the tray before washing it. The hard place to clean is the inside top part. Too hot to wipe down and when it cools off the oils stick. One day someone will figure this out.
Overall, if you are in the market for an air fryer you can not go wrong with the Sensio BELLA Pro 6.0 QT Air Fryer Touchscreen, Matte Black

Get the Pro. Its worth it
on August 30, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
I have about 4 different “smart” watches. The oldest being about 4 years old. Technology hasn’t changed that much between the oldest and the Samsung Galaxy Pro watch. However, there are some small differences that make this watch better than the rest. Get the Pro series watch for the following reasons:
- The battery life is better. I am getting about 3 to 4 full days usages before needing the charge.
- Titanium watch clasp is worth it. Give the watch a premium feel
- You’re able to see more on the watch.
Other things I like about the Galaxy watch
- There is an option for a sleep function which I think helps the battery life
- Went swimming with the Galaxy and used the water lock function which works really well.
- Syncing to my phone (Pixel 6) was simple and easy
The biggest issue I have against smart watches in general is they don’t share the same changing adapter. You need to buy the specific changer for that watch. I think they should standardize it. Also the charge cable is USB type C. I understand why but would like it be to have USB C and A option (or a Y cable at least)
Despite that, I love the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro series and would definitely recommend it.

From Kids perspective
on August 14, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
I got these for 8 year daughter going into 3rd grade. She needed a wired head set. There are not many headset made for kids under 12. As school continue to use technology in the classroom more and more of these types of head will come out The review below is from my daughter.
What I liked about it
Sounded great.
I like the wireless and wired function. Because sometime it would make it easier for other devices ( I think she means to connect to a device) She had trouble figuring out how to connect the headset via Bluetooth
Fits on my head is good and is comfortable
I like that it folds up and easy to carry around and put in my backpack
It covers my whole ear. My old one didn’t and it felt weird.
The color is good, but I really don’t care much about the color
I like that the volume was on the head set .
What I didn’t like about it
Nothing
As a parent I liked the dual function of the headset. I can see some kids having trouble connecting headset via Bluetooth (even some adults have a hard time ). I can see its made right for kids. It does fit well on her head and doesn’t look too bulky.
Yes my daughter would recommend these and so would I.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Impressive Laptop.
on July 21, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
I have had A LOT of laptops in my lifetime from HP, Dell, IBM (yes IBM), Toshiba, MSI and Acer. I have to say I am super impressive with the Dell XPS. Ive been using this laptop for 5 days now and here are my initial thoughts.
Built quality is solid. Picking the XPS up from the corner or the side feels solid. There isn’t a flex or bend it feels like one unit. The texture isn’t a smooth surface but has a sand like texture which feels good. Doesn’t leave much finger points or smudges. The mouse touch pad is very unique. Its one solid piece built into the laptop. However, only a section of the palm rest can move the mouse.
Overall performance is quick and snappy. Able to run the XPS for about 10 hours without charging it. Audio quality is shocking LOUD without distortion for such a thin device. This was a pleasant surprise.
Issues
The touch didn’t work when I started using it the second day. I turned on/off the laptop, looked for touch pad “kill switch” , plugged in a mouse via USB ( mouse worked) but touch pad didn’t, looked into the BIOS etc. Touch screen was still working. Thought it was a defective device. Turned out the drivers needed to be updated and was in the process of updating. So watch out.
Its weird but when the backlight keys are turn on in a mildly lite room you cant see the letters or number on the keyboard. Its all blended together. Not a big problem
The touch bar with the esc, and the F keys take a little getting use too.
I do recommend this laptop for those who are looking for a thin and light laptop with performance. However the price point can be deterring factor .

The little things that make it GREAT.
on July 15, 2022
Posted by: Techuser
I don’t remember how long Bluetooth speakers or headsets have been around but I have a lot of them. The technology has come a long way. From distance to audio quality to the number of devices that can connect at the same time. Some speakers “claim” it can do all of that but fall short when using it outside the their testing labs. Whether its drop connection, not able to manage audio from 2 different sources to pairing issues most speakers have problems.
However, the SRS-EX200 Portable Bluetooth Speaker doesn’t have any of these problems. I was able to connect flawlessly to my laptop and phone. Switching between audio wasn’t a problem. Just had to turn make sure audio wasn’t coming from one device and play it from the other
I’ve use the SRS-EX200 on a 2 hour conference call connected to my laptop. No one could tell the difference between my mic and the SRS-EX200 mic as I switched between them.
The battery life was good. About 16 hour of play back (conference calls, music, phone calls ) before it drop to 20%. The quick charge function is
So all the little things and small improvement (pairing seamlessly, quick charge, managing 2 devices) make this a great buy.
I think the biggest drawback is the App. I don’t see a need for it and didn’t improve or hurt the experience
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I use my computer the power adapter gets hot

When I use my computer, the adapter on the power gets so hot you cant touch it anymore. The computer is an HP is there a way to fix this? Do i just need to get a new power cord for it? It used to never do this before. The computer doesn't get hot, just the adapter.
Might be a defective adapter or under powered adapter. i would change it out and not risk it
