Powerful Mesh Router, Simple to Install
on August 22, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Linksys Atlas mesh router was absolutely simple to install. Once upon a time it was much more difficult to install a router and ensure it was working. Basically, with this Linksys router you install an app on your phone and then you flow seamlessly through the install. There are steps that take a few minutes and a message does pop up to essentially say ‘be patient’. I realized that the software is gathering a lot of information and does establish all your settings – so just be patient. You do receive a little setup card that indicates the color and blink status of the setup progress, so it is smart to use this card so you can see the progress. Once the light turns solid blue you are done. This system has three nodes so you will repeat the process for each node. It was the easiest process I have ever used. I actually put one node only 15 feet from the base node and the software popped up with a message saying ‘…are you sure you don’t want to place this note further away…’ – now that is amazing.
I connected this mesh system off a cable modem/router and established a second in-house network in order to balance resources. SpeedTest showed very little differential in speed from the cable modem/router WiFi versus the Linksys WiFi, so I am very happy with this Linksys system. The app also has an abundance of information on the devices attached and makes it easy to control your network.
You will want to put nodes on different floors if you like, or at least in different corners of the house. I do highly recommend this powerful and simple to use Linksys Mesh system.

Reduces Eye Strain and 1 ms Response Time
on August 19, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This HD Monitor worked smoothly for all games I tried, it does have FreeSync technology. Key design point is the 1 ms response time - colors were very sharp and changed fast. I used a few monitor test programs like EIZO. I thought this monitor worked great under test and for games. One game where I saw ghosting on other monitors did not appear on this monitor. You should note that IPS monitors will be a little more vibrant color-wise, but the IPS monitors don’t achieve the 1 ms response time that enables the super fast pixel color changes you need in some games.
The unit is compact, solid and fits my desktop nicely to allow other monitors and my security camera display unit, phone etc. I did appreciate the Acer EyeProtect’s Flicker-less, Blue Light Filter – I did feel less eye strain; so that is another major design point I felt.
The 24 inch size was what I wanted so everything about this monitor including the price worked well for me. Excellent technology at this price point. I do highly recommend this monitor.

Well Made and Very Useful
on August 6, 2021

from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Very nice light source for multiple purposes. Indeed it does work nicely to make your appearance at online meetings much nicer. Most people have overhead lighting but with this device you get a clearer video both of facial and presentation boards (which are still used sometimes).
The construction is solid and the design points are excellent. You have 3 color temperatures, 5 brightness levels, flashing mode and the ability to utilize one, two or three light panels. It comes with a small remote which is essential for changing the controls of the light which you put behind your laptop while you sit in front of your laptop for example and observe the changes. You can also control the light from on board switches. It has a C-USB connector for recharging the long-lasting lithium batteries.
It comes with a small foldout which is all you need for directions. The documentation says you can use it without a tripod but it is not stable enough in my opinion. The base has the tripod camera standard mount and I used a medium sized tripod and that worked great.
I also used it above my pottery wheel and with my wood lathe and it greatly enhanced my visibility while working – so it has a lot of uses with its 162 LEDs. I do recommend this unit for online meetings and other lighting needs. Great product.

Sophisticated System, Easy Setup
on July 21, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This system is simple to set up and my initial use has shown it to be rock solid. It came with 2 wireless 1080p cameras, however you can add more. The package comes with the base unit already having a 64 GB micro SD card. I like the SD card method so that you can remove the card and insert a different card each month or whenever you like. This preserves the data so it is not overwritten inadvertantly. Of course this means no monthly fees to store data and no potential exposure from storing data in the cloud.
The base unit contains a very clear 7” touch screen that is wonderful – sharp and has vibrant colors. The setup uses the base unit and your cell phone. You download the ‘Lorex Home’ app and this gives you another display which is also mobile. You can play prior videos or display the live views of either camera on the base unit or your cell phone. You can decide on notifications and other parameters, it's easy to do.
This system also includes a WiFi extender. I have found with prior wireless cameras, the farthest units will have trouble connecting sometimes. Lorex removes this exposure by providing a nice WiFi extender with this system. Again it is simple to add the extender to your system with a few steps after everything is already set up. I should note that the cameras did reach the base unit from my garage without the extender, however with the extender it appeared the live feed came up a little quicker. Also you can check that the cameras are using the extender or are using the base. The cameras did switch ‘automagically’ to the WiFi extender after I configured it – nice.
The quality of the devices, software and videos is excellent. The instructions are clear and guide you to get everything installed with no troubles. I noticed on the Lorex website that Lorex is very sharp in terms of clarity and I did make a call on a minor question and got an answer in minutes, very little wait time and excellent knowledge from the technician – tip of my cap to Lorex.
You will need to charge the batteries in the cameras. They are lithium, your amount of usage will dictate when you need to re-charge the batteries. The amount of charge is shown on your Lorex Home Center base screen for each camera; so it is easy to know when to charge them. You can remove the battery to charge or charge with the batteries installed in the cameras.
There are always tradeoffs between wired, fully wireless and wireless with power connections to the cameras. This type of unit requires no wiring – no power to run and no signal wiring to run. I find that this is a very easy way to get your security system setup. The sophistication of the Lorex system takes the installation complexity and virtually removes it. I do recommend this great system for its quality, ease of install, crystal clear videos and functionality.

Powerful, Well Designed and Easy to Setup
on July 12, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Arris Surfboard Max AX6600 was the easiest install of any router I have used. This router included a base and a satellite to ensure the WiFi coverage in your home is optimal by placing the two routers as needed in your home. You should locate the satellites on different floors or at different ends of the house. Both units are identical so you can configure either one as the base. The process via the cell phone guides you perfectly through the setup. I configured it in two ways. The initial way was as your only network and the second way was as a second router. Either way the installation went smoothly. The hardware is very solid and it came with two power supplies, two routers and one ethernet cable. Note the design of how you plug into the Arris routers is easier with a flat style ethernet cable as provided. If you need something simple to configure or if you like diving into the details, the Arris will work nicely for you. When connected properly there will be a blue ring of light at the bottom of the routers. During setup the Arris engineers used other colors to help you know the setup was on track.
In my situation I wanted to use this router to set up a second network off my existing network. My cable modem was a single box that included the modem and a router. I have over 20 devices that talk over WiFi so I wanted a situation where I could spread the connections over two networks. Normally you have to be very careful to ensure you do not have one network interfere with another due to DHCP setups. Bridging has to be done carefully. However the engineers and programmers at Arris get a tip of the cap for designing a simple way to make everything work perfectly. You can use their phone app whether you have a separate modem and separate router or a combined box like I have. The software asked me at one point if I had two units or a combined unit. All the steps after that included checking for new firmware and easily setting up your network. After you configure the base, you can then add the satellite. This package included one satellite unit, but you can add more easily using the app later. The app gives you many tools to investigate the status of your network. I loved the app, it was very well done, no bugs.
I checked the speeds and the second network which does piggy back off my internet provider’s modem/router is just as fast. I have to congratulate the Arris team for an excellent product that I highly recommend. If you have a large home or a home with a basement and 2 floors, this unit would be a great way to ensure complete WiFi coverage. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Solid Product and Nice Design Graphics
on June 26, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This is an excellent little mouse. It fits nicely in your hand and the buttons are ergonomically placed for ease of use, including the scroll wheel. I use a bit larger mouse most of the time, however I found that it is really nice to switch up sometimes since I do have a little arthritis. The change of pace seems to allow me to use the computer longer and my hands don’t ache at all. So I have been keeping both ‘mice’ handy to switch up during my bill paying, email clearing etc. I did not use this mouse for gaming though.
I found the scroll wheel much smoother than most mice. My other mouse is rechargeable and this one is not. But the AA battery is projected to last a year, so there is no downtime to recharge; some folks may find this preferable.
My other mouse as well as this one uses a dongle versus a Bluetooth connection. I have found that this seems to connect better than Bluetooth so I do prefer the dongle even though it uses a USB port.
It has an on/off switch which I find a necessity, so that wireless mice battery life can be optimized. It is plug and play so there is no setup needed.
Lastly the graphics on this mouse are fantastic, it is kind of uplifting to see the nice designs of the Logitech Design Collection. I do see these cute mice as great gifts for birthdays and holidays since they are a bit of fun and are very accurate, ergonomic and very well made. I do recommend them.

Great for Facial Hair or Splinter
on June 16, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This is one of several models of tweezers that the Tweezerman company sells. It is designed smaller and is an excellent tweezer. I should note I have other Tweezerman products and the design and materials are top-notch across all the Tweezerman products I have used. This tweezer out performs any tweezer I have owned before. The business end is hand filed to perfectly align. One target of course is facial hair and this tweezer securely grabs even the thinnest hairs for example eyebrows, beard and even slightly imbedded hairs; and it does not slip off so removal is guaranteed. The other use I had was for a splinter in my hand. Again, this tweezer helped to grab the very tiny and thin wood splinter and pull it out – great. I won’t buy any other brand of tweezer, the Tweezerman tweezers are the tops, my tip of the cap to the engineers.

The NVR connects to your internet router via the included network cable or Wi-Fi, while the new SwannNet technology allows you to select whether each camera connects to the NVR or your home Wi-Fi, meaning you can choose whichever network has a stronger Wi-Fi signal. This gives you greater flexibility to place the cameras where they need to be, and their robust indoor/outdoor design is built to withstand rain, snow and heat, all year round.

Complete Security System, No Monthly Charges
on June 2, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Swann WiFi Enforcer System is a complete security system that I found had all the right features. I would say to be careful to choose this exact system as other systems including some Swann systems don’t have all the features I found to be necessary. Let’s start with the WiFi connection. Wired cameras are very hard to install unless you have an ability to easily access a basement or attic to run the signal wires. So that is most important.
I have used a lot of battery powered cameras. Battery powered cameras create a very significant problem. Rechargeable batteries will get weaker over time and non-rechargeables mean a constant cost to buy new batteries. Most problematic is getting a ladder, removing the batteries and either replacing them or recharging them. Solar powered units help somewhat but my experience has been that eventually you have problems with weaker charging days or even weather disabling the solar power one way or another. This camera system uses 120 volt AC household current. There is some obstacles to getting the wired power to the camera, but once it is in, there is no need to get ladders anymore; you have a permanent and strong power source.
Next on my list of positives is the design of these cameras to includes sirens, lights, night vision, 4K hi def, 2-way audio, heat and motion sensing and free recording to a 1 TB drive. This system has all the functions you need in a complete security camera system.
The system components are indoor/outdoor except for the recording base unit. Hook up is very easy. I ran power to each unit, often just plugging into an outdoor outlet; for example on the front porch and back porch. However, I did mount a camera above the garage door and just had to run power through a hole in the siding which I easily sealed up. IN this case I installed a small shingled board to give the camera some added protection – although this was not really needed. You sync each unit to the base unit wirelessly – this is a great advantage so that your base unit can be inside preferably near your existing WiFi router. I connected the base unit using an ethernet cable to my home router. I could have connected the base unit via WiFi but I think wired connection is easy and best in this situation. What was nice is that everything worked right away, no finagling to make things work – great.
I added the HDMI cable to my TV and all cameras came online and displayed on the screen. There are quite a few options you can select, but basically you have the ability to see all cameras or just one on your screen. Interesting that you can connect each camera via your house WiFi or just connect each camera wirelessly to the base unit. It does suggest that if you want to turn the base unit off, simply shutdown the system like you would a PC. In fact the TV will show your connection as a PC in the source selections. The unit comes with a mouse that attaches to the base unit for your navigation.
Performance was superb. Clean and crisp color or black/white night vision. Now I have a system without monthly charges that records events from 4 positions around the house back and front and sides, and also provides security alerts via sirens, lights and recordings. I highly recommend this unit. The Swann engineers did a fantastic job on this system.

Excellent Sound for Compact BT Speaker
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
This portable speaker has superior sound for its size. It was easy to pair with cell phone or laptop or TV. The build quality is solid and the rubbery-grippy feel is helpful to ensure it is easy to move even when wet. It is IPX7 waterproof, however the charging port is open which makes me hesitate to leave it unprotected in a heavy rain much less submerge it.
The controls are intuitive and these controls allow you to pause/play, adjust volume and sync Bluetooth. The pause/play button is a multifunction button and can control functions like answer/end a call, fast forward and even connect to a voice assistant. It is very handy to use the multifunction button if connected to a cell phone. You should install the Soundcore App. The app will permit equalizer settings and also allow you to power off the speaker from your cell phone.
The phone app also provides a way to update the firmware. The device was sent to me with a note saying to update the firmware to V0.11. The phone app did update the firmware. At first it did not work, however I called Anker support and they responded promptly. When I tried the app again it did work to update the firmware.
The price point is low for such a robust little speaker. You can party-cast as well to over 100 speakers – wow! I still find it easy to recommend this little marvel for its audio power. I do have a big brother to this speaker which does have more bass, but the size tradeoff is something many folks will like since it can be carried to the beach or to the garage with ease. Great product.

Great for Small Area
on May 30, 2021
Posted by: RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This air purifier is really small which makes its usage more for a closet, small bathroom or a car. It is easy to clean filter. Also it is rechargeable and will last all night on low speed. I recommend it for small areas that need a little boost in air quality. One use I found that works great is to put it on its highest speed in a bathroom, spray a little air freshener and let it run 15 minutes - very nice results. Excellent little product, fairly priced.

4 out of 5physically shake the laptop? Warning
By Kevin
After looking for a powerful engineering laptop to meet my need, this Dell product is a great one. Design is great, sleek, and powerful. Has windows hello, hd screen and a 2 in 1. However it only has 2 USB ports. I wish dell would added more ports. Fast boot up with ssd, and a good backlight keyboard. However after a week of use, when I would hold the laptop and walk you could here a sound. Now this is when it is off. It seems that something is moving inside or it could be from the manufacture. So I returned it and sought to get the replacement. They opened the replacement and when they shaked it the same sound came from it. The best buy rep seemed to say its nothing and it does not matter where I presented this laptop to a computer engineer at my school, who told be its should not be doing that. Now the one on display did not have the defect. But it is amazing that a laptop of this power has this defect. So to wrap up, if you want to buy this laptop make sure to shake it. Seems weird but you don't want to end up loosing your money

Can Expand Number of USB Ports
February 10, 2017
As you say it has only one 2.0 and only one 3.0 USB port, but this is easily mitigated. For about $20 you can purchase a 4 port USB hub for when you may need added ports. You won't notice any speed difference. Here's one at BBuy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-4-port-usb-3-0-hub-black/4333600.p?skuId=4333600 PS: My unit does not make any noise when you shake it, and unless it needs to turn on the fan it has zero noise in operation. I did the fan and it is noticeable but that's good since it is being turned on to ensure cooling.

Passport~ mini offers convenient amplification for any instrument or microphone. It's perfect for performances by street musicians and students, as well as a basic public address system for events and presentations. It goes anywhere thanks to its dual AC- or Battery-powered capabilities. It can even be used as a music media playback system or computer recording interface.

5 out of 5Great Little Amp & PC Software
By RalphHenry
from Raleigh, NC
This amp is tremendous. No hum and lots of adjustments that at first seem over whelming, but then you catch on and it is reasonably simply to operate. The Fender Fuse software is great. I played around and could hear the difference easily as I changed presets and effects. It is not powerful, but it does have 7 watts RMS, fine for in the house. The software is cool, anything you change on the computer changes the adjustments in the little amp flawlessly. First thing I did was follow the instructions to upgrade the firmware to pick up any fixes or enhancements. Then you just have a ball playing around. It does have a vocal and instrument channel as well as an IPOD or other input. I ran it on batteries as well as AC with the included adapter. It also includes your USB cable to connect to the computer. I'm not an expert so this helps me learn about a lot of effects and styles by letting you hear the differences. GREAT. If you are an experienced guitar player, you will probably have other amps but this one may be nice to practice and learn with.

Got Another One
February 16, 2017
I gave the first one to my Uncle. I got another one used from a friend that did not work. However it appears that only a loose wire was the cause so it is now fixed. Also did not work on battery power, but I found that the spring contacts for the batteries were smashed down and didn't actually make contact. Once I pulled the contacts out the unit began to work on battery power as well as AC. So if you find a unit not working on battery power check the contacts.

2 out of 5Sadly, Very disappointed with this cleaner
By Laddie
Pros - Light weight and easy to maneuver - intuitive design makes it easy to use and nice design.
Cons - very low suction and seems to clog up after one use. No horsepower listed on the box and was told it was very powerful by a sales person.
The story - I went to Best Buy to purchase the Hoover SteamVac F7452-900 All Terrain Steam Cleaner with SpinScrub which is advertised being at the store. I have had the Hoover model for over 5 years and it has been an incredible workhorse typically using it twice a week. Strong suction and allowed for quick drying over large areas. We moved from a 6-bedroom home of 3,300 square feet to a 1,000 foot two bedroom two bath apartment. Didn't think I would need all the power of the Hoover but with two small dogs, well, they sometimes miss the puppy pads. I'm hoping I will be able to return the new Bissell for a Hoover.
BEST BUY - this is not a fault of Best Buy - they are a great store that carries quality items - unfortunately I didn't do the homework needed to evaluate this product adequately - I should have waited for the Hoover that I wanted...

Must Vacuum First
May 10, 2017
I think I know why you might have less suction or clogging. I learned this the hard way. It is best to vacuum the carpet prior to using this machine - actually every carpet shampooer requires this step. You may have skipped doing this, but if not you may need to use the tool they include and slide it into the nozzle and remove any hair and other clogs. Anyway it worked great for me. The other area to check is the 'red filter' below the dirty tank, I noticed this gets pretty much completely covered and although you clean the tank you need to also clean this filter (see page 16 of the manual Step 5). Hope this helps.

1 out of 5Cheap Materials, Bad Sound, Poor Quality Control
By ryanmcv
I wanted to like these, but JLab really dropped the ball with my set of Epic2 headphones. I'd normally list the pros first, but I'm so disappointed that I'm starting with the cons.
CONS:
- The Epic2s are supposed to come with 6 pairs of silicone ear tips. Well, I got 6 ear tips, but not 6 PAIRS of ear tips. My box only had 1 of each type of ear tip. Yes, I looked everywhere - inside the carrying case, in every plastic bag -- they're not there.
- After I removed the headphones from the box, I noticed that the black coating on the cord was starting to peel. This is probably because JLab forcefully bends the cord to fit it into the awkward box. Not a good first impression, and I'm sure it's only going to get worse.
- It's too bad that JLab didn't provide all of the ear tips, because the ones that come installed by default do not fit me well at all. They are way too small for my ears and slide out while I'm running. It would have been nice to try another set of ear tips, but I obviously can't do that.
- These things just aren't comfortable on my ears. The over-ear loops just feel awkward and don't allow much room for adjustment.
- The cord is just ridiculously long. The headphones come with 2 cable clips (which I actually got - yay!), but they are awkward to use and you're warned that using them might kill your Bluetooth connection. No thanks.
- The volume and track control buttons are horribly placed. I feel like I have to reach around and grab the back of my neck if I want to adjust the volume.
- Speaking of sound and volume, these headphones just don't sound good. They are way too bass-heavy and voices/dialogue sound extremely muted.

PROS:
- They turn on and connect to Bluetooth as expected.
- Comes with a nice carrying case.
- Battery life estimate of 12 hours seems to be accurate.

OVERALL:
I've emailed JLab to see about getting replacement ear tips, but even with those, I think I'll still avoid these headphones. I wouldn't want the cord to start peeling apart mid-workout. The title of this review says it all: these headphones are made from cheap materials, have bad sound quality, and apparently go through minimal quality control processes. Avoid at all costs.

Just on the ear tips
June 30, 2017
I know you said they were not included and you looked hard, but I found the small bag with one half of the ear tips and on the placard the other half of each size were connected in the cardboard. I would agree it was odd packaging. But I have a feeling that you might (just maybe) have easily tossed them, baby-with-bath-water style.

Does this set(QC45) need an adapter to connect with the TV screen on airplanes? Is it included? I saw an adapter when I looked at the QC35II, will it work with this model?
I think you mean the normal 3.5mm jack/cable which you use when Bluetooth wireless is not available. Yes this cable is included with the QC45 as well as the QC35II.
