The Blue Pure 311 Auto air purifier is a top pick in Wirecutter's 'The Best Air Purifier 2020' for "Delivering exceptional performance in an attractive form".¹ The Blue Pure 311 Auto take a simple approach to air quality management with an integrated particle sensor, Auto mode setting, and LED air quality display. The ENERGY STAR® certified air purifier delivers high performance with one-button control and customizable pre-filter colors in a lightweight, compact package. Independently evaluated and third-party tested for performance as part of the AHAM Verifide® Program for room air cleaners, this air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 250 cfm for fine smoke particles, 250 cfm for pollen particles, and 244 cfm for dust particles. Recommended for medium rooms like a master bedroom, living room, or playroom with a 360° air intake to completely filter room air about every 12.5 minutes² (approx. 4.8x an hour at 388 ft²) on the highest speed.³ The 3-step combination particle + carbon filter works with Blueair's HEPASilent™ filtration technology to remove 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns, like pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, bacteria, viruses⁴ and more. An additional layer of activated carbon traps light household odors.⁵ Blue Pure 311 Auto quietly cleans the air with less noise than a soft whisper⁶ on low (23 dB) and up to a normal conversation on high (53 dB) – while using less energy than a light bulb (3-35 W) on all speeds.⁷ The one-touch enabled Auto mode is designed to help you maintain a comfortable environment. When enabled, the setting automatically adjusts to real-time conditions reported by the integrated particle sensor. Stay up to date on your air quality with the LED display; it changes color to indicate good, moderate, or poor. Change color in seconds with five fabric pre-filter options inspired by Scandinavian nature. The fabric material of the pre-filter catches larger particles and extends the life of the primary filter. Plus, a hidden compartment in the fabric pre-filter keeps the power cord hidden out of sight. Vacuum the fabric or toss it in the washing machine whenever it needs cleaning. Pre-filter in Arctic Trail (gray) included; Additional colors available for purchase. At Blueair, our Swedish heritage inspires sustainability and quality at the heart of everything we do. All Blueair purifiers are AHAM Verifide for Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and given a recommended room size, certified by ENERGY STAR for energy efficiency and the California EPA Air Resources Board (CARB) for safe ozone emissions. ¹From Wirecutter. ©2020 Wirecutter, Inc.

Nice Filter
on January 14, 2021
Posted by: OmieOne

This is a simple easy to use and setup. Nothing complex and push a button to go into Automatic mode. I setup in our bedroom to test the noise and it is whisper quite on auto when nothing is in the air, and ramps up slowly where particles get it. Seems to work well and is great and keeping the particles down. Doesn't seem hard to maintain and easy enough to move around. Even with the fan going, it isn't horrible loud and works well.

Just Right for my Sous Vide Needs
on November 26, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
If you have a Sous Vide device this is a good container for your sous vide needs. I found it to be about right for my cooking. Not too large not too small. Able to handle what I need. The fact it has a metal rack to help keep things submerged is handy, esp. if you don't get all the air out, helps keep your food submerged. It has a nice top to help keep in moisture and fitted my older immersion heater with no issues. It cleans easy and fairly compact making it easy to store with all my sous vide equipment. Also I've used it to brine chickens and other things, so overall it has a great purpose in my kitchen. Am very happy with it.

Comfortable Sounding Earphones
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Setup
Easy, standard Bluetooth, single button setup to pair. Pairs easily. Has another button for the different Active Noise Cancellation Buttons and a USB-C cable for charging. Fully charged you'll get a full day out of the headphones. I found mine lasted around 15 hours with the ANC in different modes.
Usage
Using these headphones is nice, unlike the earbuds people are going to this had around the neck and back of the ear supports which make it much easier for me to leave them in and use all day, which is nice, unlike earbuds which at least one of my ears get get sore from. So comfort is top notch on these and I don't have any issues with them and my glasses. The sound is good, but I do think having an equalizer on your device is handy to make sure you tune it to take advantage of the different abilities from the bass to the planar drivers. At first I wasn't impressed but once I tuned the sound using an equalizer I realized these had a great amount of tone and I enjoyed the sound and found it had a nice richness to it. The ANC though, it does work, but not as good as some of the other brands and the different between monitor mode and ANC/ON I could not tell. I felt that most of the ANC came from the fact these sit very securely in my ear and create a seal. With it on I did notice a lessening in the fan noise from my computer, but it didn't seem to deaden voices which was interesting. If you are looking for ANC I'd consider looking at other brands to get a better experience that tunes out all the noise, if you just want something that will remove a constant hum from a computer fan, then it works and works well. In any of the modes though I didn't notice any change in the sound quality or music. It was clear. The Mic seemed to work find and give sound, I got no complaints and people could hear me fine.
Overall these are a good set of wonderful sounding headphones that are comfortable wear and if you don't need the best ANC then these I find to be a great choice that will give you some wonderful sound.

Great Vaccuum, not sure the value of Smart Portion
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Setup:
Very easy, take out, mount charger on the wall to hang the vacuum. Does include some drywall studs and screws which is nice. Let the vacuum charge and done. The charger will hold all the attachments except the filter cleaner. Yes this comes with a filter cleaner. Basically it sucks the dust off the filter. They are supposed to last 6 months and it comes with 2, so at least a year of use is there.
Setting up the "Smart" features and details is one of the easier things I've tried. Download the app and follow the directions. Make it very simple, just need to know your WiFi password for the network your attaching it to. Process worked well. Didn't have to do anything crazy. I will definitely give Tineco Props for that and other companies could learn from how easy they make. That was great. Overall, not sure the value of the smart features behind helping you set reminders to clean and change filters etc. Its not a bad app, I just don't get the total extra add, that said.
***Usage
If you need a vacuum to clean that you can hang on the wall and just grab, this is definitely the one. I use this now in my upstairs to do all the bedrooms. Its light and easy enough to power through without worrying about cords. It does pickup quite a bit from the carpet and does what I want from a vacuum in a compact package with easy to maintain parts/filters to keep it going for years. I've been very pleased with the cleaning its given and its light enough to use, though I find on longer cleaning sessions, when I did everything the first time, it did pinch a bit between my thumb and finger and turn it a bit red, since it is kind of top heavy. However it you take a break or switch hands I find it tolerable. Again it could be me and my hands so your experience could vary.
***Overall
This is a great vacuum. Not sure having WiFi on it add a lot to me and honestly you don't need it, it cleans fine without the app or the wifi.If you need a portable vacuum that stores easily and doesn't have cords that you can trip over, I would highly recommend this one.

Nice solid keyboard
on October 29, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is an awesome solid constructed keyboard with linear switches. If you like the feels of linear smooth switches. It works for gaming and works well. It has a great solid unibody and it was a nice touch to have a magnetic wrist rest included. Comes in handy. This keyboard lighting is also awesome I think due to the choice of keycaps that have a nice feel and easy to touch type with. It is also easy to customize the keyboard lightning and profiles with the software from Roccat. I do like they choose a half height keycap, so my air blower can easily clean the dust and hair out. The only thing I'm not a fan of is a non-removal keyboard cord. While it is a nice braided cable, it would be nice if it could be removed for easy storage when moving between locations with the board. It is a minor complaint though and overall I like this keyboard very much. If you are a fan of Linear switches and gaming this is definitely a keyboard you can check out.

Nice cans for gaming
on October 28, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Setup - Plug in, switch your sound over to them and your at the races. Of course the included software improves the experience. To get the most out of the surround you should use the software. Its easy to setup and offers a lot of customization for the Mic and surround. Giving you EQ values and the some presets based on the game FPS/MOBA etc. Since you can drop profiles you can setup sounds for events like movies/games etc giving you the soundstage you want and easy enough to switch between depending on what you are doing.
Once you get setup the headphones are comfortable to wear. Don't brother me a bit with my glasses and I can get a whole day of use. Mic is easy to use, there is a button on the headset to mute the mic. Not the most convenient place to get quickly sometimes. Not awkward just fiddly sometimes when you need to be quick. However when using the Mic the audio is clear and people can hear without issues and doesn't pick up outside noise as clearly as some other mics so that is nice when playing in a semi peanut gallery of a room.
The sound/surround is nice and clear and seems on par with other headsets I've owned. My only problem with it is the braided cable. Its a nice thick cable, but tends wrap around itself and since it isn't removal its a pain to untwist and also being thick, since its on the left and my Desktop is on the right means the cable rubs against things when I play with it and it can be annoying. But don't let that stop you from getting these. They sound good, have great customization and are comfortable.

Good Daily Driver
on October 28, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
TLDR - This is a great mouse for work or gaming.
Setup - Easy. Plug it in it works no drivers are needed and you can go to town, however installing the software allows you to adjust the mouse to your liking. They have a lot of options to customize the buttons and the ability to have a shift button allows for double the buttons that you can customize for your games. You can store up to 5 profiles.
Use - Once setup and you got everything to your liking this is a great mouse. It feels good, slides great, slides fast actually on my mouse matt. Its nice and accurate and can easily adjust the DPI to what works for you. Cable is nice and braided and doesn't seem to get tangled up on itself. If you like lighting for that RGB looks you can customize it and make it yours. Lights are nice and strong and being wired you don't need to worry about losing battery to pretty lights.
Overall this mouse feels great, just the right weight at least for me, and have a good hand feel, though it doesn't offer any way to change the weight, for me its all good. I didn't have any problems in games like Div 2 or Doom Eternal or CKIII. The switches for the buttons give a nice click feel, esp. in shooters. This replaced my old gaming mouse, for the better feel and the fact I can customize the buttons with profiles easier then the last. This is a great gaming mouse and does wonders in Excel too.

Neat Camera for the Tweens
on October 28, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a simple point an shoot camera. Its easy to setup. Take it out, charge it up and hand it off to your Tween. They will have fun. Is this a serious camera for in depth photography, no. Is this a better camera then what is on most cell phones, no. But for what it does, a camera for quick snaps that get printed at the moment this is the camera for you. You can even add a memory card to store the pictures. Otherwise this is simple to use. Three modes, B&W/Vivid and normal. You point, shoot and it prints. They did make the front around lens a mirror like surface which makes taking selfies easier for the kids. Overall my daughter loves it and the expense of more paper for photo's seem worth it as she is having a fun time with this. This is a definite improvement over the first one and something fun, plus its nice to get the picture there to share with people, once we can be around people again.

Easy to use/charge and Comfortable
on October 18, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
TLDR: Overall this is a nice set of headphones with good sound and comfortable and easy to use.
Setup:
These do require the use of the USB dongle. It works well and on PC/Xbox, just plug it and go. Headphones pair easily so there is no issues with that. Makes it easy to move the headphones between devices/Desktop/Laptops. Don't have to re-pair it, just move the dongle. It is a long boy, so on laptops just not that it will be hanging out. On the downside it is a USB dongle, so if you lose it you can't use the headphones until you replace, so that can be a con for people, but since I have it on my desktop PC and that doesn't move it isn't an issue.
Usage:
Using the headphones is easy. The sound is good for me. I'm not an audio person, so high/lows and all that, not me, I can't speak to it. I can say it is clear, easy to hear, no crackle and the mic, I got no complaints from my teammates, they could hear me clearly and I do like the fact you can mute it by pushing it up. Having a way to quickly mute is handy since I do live in a noisy house. Wearing these for long sessions is not a problem. I found them light and comfortable and the battery had no problem lasting all day for my gaming needs, and I can be picky because of glasses. It wasn't an issue for me. I do like the simple controls. Overall you need some wireless headphones for gaming, these I think are a great choice. Easy and comfortable with sound that meets my needs.

Awesome Robot esp. for Kids who Love Robotics
on October 12, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Let me say I got the robot, opened the box and handed it to my 11 year old daughter and then had to run out, figuring when I got back home I could help her get it fully setup. When I came home she had it setup between her computer (required Bluetooth) and the robot and she had programmed it to do the picture you see below. Now she has some experience with robots from school, so she was familiar with the concept of block programming. However from a setup, it is very easy apparently and walks you through it with no issues. Its neat that it comes with a foldable whiteboard to have some real cool fun. The language is a block coding and doesn't require any special programs installed, just access the website.
Overall I'm impressed with the robot, since it allowed my daughter to continue to play with robots and continue to get the concepts of programming and logic. I think iRobot did a great job and provided a fun package with lights, sounds and the ability to draw on whiteboard is great. The fact setup is easy and the ability to get programming is awesome. While kids who haven't had a chance at school to program robots a bit more work might be needed to get going, but really is something all kids should try and learn and I'm happy this allows robotics to come into the home.

If you still have to have Internet service what do I need this thing for I already have a router

Well the two I can think of are: 1. If you need better/stronger wifi coverage throughout your house or 2. if you have newer devices that can use the AC wireless settings. With the Mu-Mimo, even if your devices don't support it, testing has shown that your over all wireless throughput will be better as the router can share the connection better with all devices.
