Great battery but the appeal drains from there.

Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles
I’ve had the Amazon Halo View Fitness tracker for about a week now. So far I’m impressed with battery life. I have owned 3 different smart watches in the past few years and the longest I can go without charging one is 2 maybe 3 days straight. With the Amazon Halo I have gone about 5 days without any issues (normal usage). This is a big plus.
Overall is a pretty basic fitness trackers. Not a lot of customization or options. Connecting to my Iphone was easy.
There are a few things I didn’t like about the Halo that really kill it for me. First the way the tracker is wore on my wrist, its upside down and awkward. Just doesn’t feel right. Second is the “pay wall”. The app says the first 12 month features on the app on free and after you have pay a monthly fee. To me that doesn’t seem right and a big turn off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great value.

Overall solid headphone. Great for working outside around the house. I definitely “hear” the difference when wearing these headphone. “OK” fit for my ears. I tried all the different ear pieces couldn’t find one that fit my ear perfectly but the medium was ok. I guess im not sure to the foam materials. Connecting to my phone was pretty simple. These are an exceptional value.

Remove plaque and experience a deep, effective clean with Sonicare technology, removing up to 7x more plaque vs. a manual toothbrush. Sonicare technology gently pulses water between your teeth, for a month's worth of manual brushing in just 2 minutes. The QuadPacer lets you know when you've spent the optimal amount of time on each section of your mouth while the SmarTimer signals when your 2 minutes is up. The pressure sensor flashes red to remind you to ease off, helping to prevent gum recession, while the 2 intensity settings ensure a comfortable clean that’s right for you. Going electric might feel like a big step, but with this brush you’re in safe hands. Its slim ergonomic design and familiar-shaped head gives you everything you need for an effective clean. The kit includes 1 Philips Sonicare 4100 electric toothbrush, 1 Optimal Plaque Control (C2) brush head and 1 USB charger (wall adaptor not included).

Worth it

Spend a little money on yourself and get really clean teeth. The Philip Sonicare 4100 Power Toothbrush gets your teeth clean like you went to the dentist. I like the small head brush because it can get to hard to reach spots in my month. Couple of knocks on this: comes with a USB charging base which is weird and replacement heads can be expensive (but that’s true on all electronic tooth brushes). This wont change me from recommending this to friends

Very easy and quick installation. Digital interface makes it super easy to read the air quality indicator light and navigate the different functions on the purifier. LOVE the sleep mode. Turns all thre lights off and is very quiet to sleep through. The only thing I noticed was a very stark noise level difference between settings 2 and 3– where setting 2 is still very quiet (almost too quiet) and setting 3 whirls pretty loud.

“Smart” Maybe. Alarm Clock Yes
on December 2, 2021
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles CA
“Smart” has been a term used a lot lately. Anything “smart” just connects to the internet is able to use google assistant, alexa or siri voice to control the device. To me its not really that smart, its just an alarm clock.
Overall setup was pretty easy to connect with my home network. Once you are connected to google home network everything else is easy. Took a little work to get my google photos to rotate on the display but was able too. Audio quality is pretty good for an alarm clock.
From a product stand point, the Lenovo clock is 4in touch screen but you can get a “7in device” that support does the same functions for all little bit more money. I can understand some may want a smaller device next to their beds.
Overall I would recommend the Lenovo Smart Clock 2 but buyers should know what they are getting.

Quality Packaging Amazing Earbuds
on December 1, 2021
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles CA
I knew the Soundcore Ear buds would be great once I opened the box/packaging. Typically manufacture skip out or cut corners when it comes to packaging. I am extremely impress with how the box opens up and the different inner and outer ear pieces are laid out.
The Soundcore Ear buds come with 4 different ear pieces. You can definitely find the right fitting with the different selection. The sound quality is superior. I couldn’t tell the difference between my other more expensive wireless ANC inner ear buds and the Soundcore Ear buds.
I’ve been using these for over a week now. Around the house with crying and scream kids. ( the ANC work well). At the gym, running, jumping, basketball, and lifting weights. The ear buds felt secure and never fell out.
Definitely recommend these to my friends. They are a better alternative to the more expensive brands out there.

Its Magic no its a Pixel
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles CA
I consider myself a tech savvy person. I have a my lights, TVs, cameras, garage, air filters, consoles, laptops, Ipads, tablets etc all connected together. I’ve also had the luxury of owning a lot of different phones (HTC ONE, 10 and u11, Pixel 3, One Plus 7 Pro, Iphone 4,6,8,MAX Xs, Microsoft Surface Duo). Different phones had its pros and cons. I like the openness of the Android OS (HTC/OnePlus) but I felt the camera was always lacking. Iphones have the same layout and easy to use cameras. The Pixel 6 is a phone I was truly exciting to try out. Anyways,
Look and feel
Personally, I don’t mind the camera bar bump. The two tone color is a nice touch. The back has a glass like feeling that you would get from a $1000 cell phone. I am going to purchase a case for the Pixel ( to protect it when I drop it). So really the look of the case is what your phone would really look like in the end. I am more concern with the performance and usage of the Pixel than the look. One annoying thing is the Google search bar is locked in the bottom of the home screen. YOU CAN NOT REMOVE it. GOOGLE needs to fix this.
Setup process
Pretty straight forward. Transfer my old data and information from my other device (Android 11). Cable transfer didn’t work for me despite trying 3 times. Just use wireless transfer and worked. The phone needed to download an update to Android 12 took about 30 mins to download and install.
Search function
I think this is a kind of a cool feature. You have search your phone apps, contacts and settings in the search function.
Fingerprint sensor
Takes about half a second to a second to recognize my fingerprint and open the phone. Its about the same as my other phones. Nothing special about this.
Display smoothness
There is a noticeable difference between my old phone and the Pixel 6. I guess the 90hz refresh rate really makes a difference. Its smoother when scrolling and better on the eyes.

Assistant voice typing
It seems better and smooth when using the voice to text on the Pixel 6. It catches my words better than before. However the Interpreter mode is still lacking. At times, Doesn’t translate the meaning well enough. I think Google needs more help here but it’s a good step forward.
Camera System
This is what separates the Pixel 6 from all other cell phones (or maybe my expectation bar was set too low). Ive attached pictures I have taken in low light settings. 0.7x, 1x, 2x zoom. I’ve also used the Magic Eraser on a few photo to take a people. You can judge the quality of the magic eraser.. But it think this is one of the best feature of the Pixel 6. I can see how useful this tool will be for me and the family. Even previous picture that are stored in the Google photo can be edit by the Pixel 6. This is a great feature and I can see Google using this technology on their other devices.
I have used the Motion / action take pretty nice pictures, Long Exposure, Face Unblur (pretty good, but not perfect), 4x zoom still grainy, Ultrawide selfies (not
really ultrawide compared to others ive seen before). Overall I am pretty happy with the Pixel 6. At $599 it’s a great deal for what you get.

Battery Life
There is a lot of marketing and call out of the Pixel 6 battery life. My experience its not the best or the worst. On average usage of the Pixel I can get by (14 hour) but definitely have to charge it at night or in the morning.
Below is the “real” world testing for fast charging. On both test the Pixel 6 got warm in the case but not burning hot. Under 50% full you are looking at 12%-14% battery fill per 10mins of charging.
Charging from a 90watt laptop adaptor with USB Type C
Pixel started at 15%
After 10mins 29%
After 20mins 43%
After 30mins 57%
After 40mins 69%
Charging from a 60 watt cell phone quick charge adaptor
Pixel started at 5%
After 10mins 19%
After 20mins 33%
After 30mins 47%
After 40mins 60%
With all the good and the bad of the Pixel the best part is the price. Coming in at $599 I would definitely recommend this to anyone look for a new phone.

The Twinkly Smart Light Tube made me a hero with my kids. RBG color LED lights act as a night light for their room. They love the fun designs and decided on the tree.
Its a great idea to light up any room in your house. Syncing to my phone was easy and designing the tree was easy as well. Just follow the template on the instruction given.

Never knew I needed it

I’ve been using $50 to $100 electric shaver and its getting the job done. However, after using the Philip Norelco 9500 I am not turning back.
There is a premium feel and weight to the Norelco. I get a really close and smooth shave in half the time it took me with other shavers. The light on the Norelco 9500 shows if you are applying too much (Orange) or too pressure little (blue) and just right (Green)
I am not use to spending $200 plus for a shaver but Its worth the investment if you or someone you know shaves every day.

Beauty, function and the battery
on October 8, 2021
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles CA
This is great looking watch, bright crisp screen. Walking around when the watch screen is on it looks like a citizen type watch.
Overall function of the citizen smart watch is what you expect on any smart watch. Heart rate, steps, GPS, accelerometer, etc. works wells. Connecting the Citizen watch to my phone did take some time but nothing to worry about.
The battery life is where this watch can improve. I’ve been using it for about 10 days now and I have to charge it every night. I consider myself not a heavy user so this is disappointing.
Hard to recommend this watch to my friends because of the battery life.

Doesnt come with a charging stand just the cable to plug in. However it does come with a clean kit and solution. Maybe you can use that as a stand??
