This is a nice change in pace in slower cooker. Having an insert that can be used on a stove top to brown meet, saves cleanup, and it worked fairly well. My only issue is this is a round slow cooker and not oval like the others I've had, so cooking in it took some adjusting. However the it works well. We made some butternut squash soup in it and it came out perfect.
Using it on a stove top to sweat the onions and carrots and then moving it into the slower cooker to cook, was easy, though I wish they included some silicon inserts for the handles. Those get hot, the lid fits perfectly and it works. The soup came out perfect. This is a slow cooker. Its not fancy, but it can save cleanup since you don't have to dirty a pot.
I was impressed and am very happy. I highly recommend if you need a new slow cooker, and don't mind the round shape.

This is not the Gaming/Streaming PC for you
on November 28, 2018

This was a fairly easy setup. Open box, unwrap, plug into Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse and turn on. After a few answering some Questions, Windows 10 1809 is setup and your computer is on your network and registered with HP. Kudos for a simple a process. The included programs were minimal, with minimal bloatware, unlike you normally get on OEM computers. It was lumped into three categories: Branded HP Programs including Support help if you need, WildTangent and McAfee. Feel free to remove McAfee, Windows 10 comes default with Windows Defenders, the default Microsoft Anti-virus program that is free (McAfee is only a 30 day trial) and I find it works better than McAfee. At this point the computer is usable and you can install the games/setup Windows 10 the way you like and the computer will be adequate if you have basic needs. Congratulations. However if you are planning on actually using this computer continue reading.
After looking at what/how HP setup the PC out of the box, I examined the case, and noticed there is no real airflow. The holes on the side that look like air can get it, are mostly blocked by the side mounted drive sled holding the 1TB drive and DVD Burner. HP decided to go for this small sleek look and overlook cooling in the case and stifle airflow. No front intake fans, no side intake fans, just the one exhaust fan on the back. It being winter, it was nice to come back into the house and rest my hands at the back of the computer and warm them from the air coming out. This is important because both the Video Card (RX580 4GB, not bad card) and the CPU (AMD 2700) can boost to provide extra power during heavy usage, however, this gets more limited as the components get hot and will throttle back to stay cool. On idle this computer runs around 45 Celsius. Compared to the other two desktops I have in the house, one Intel and one AMD, this computer runs at idle about 15 degrees hotter. To ensure a good gaming experience I have been limiting the machine to 60 Frames a second in games like Overwatch, Destiny 2 and Forza Horizon 4. This means the GPU and CPU aren't running at 100% keeping the machine "coolish" and giving the appearance of a smooth game performance. However if the case had better cooling, I could unleash the full performance and get more frames, which anyone playing Overwatch, Fortnite or other online games will know, more frames make for a better experience and help. This case won't do it, and it is a shame, because the parts HP used are good. The CPU is an AMD 2700, very good for games and streaming at the same time with all the threads, the SSD is made by Samsung, while small, its drives are some of the best, the 1TB Storage drive is a 7200 RPM Western Digital. The RAM is 2666MHZ and actually clocked to that speed (even if the timings on the RAM are looser then we like, CL19 according to H/W Info) from Samsung. Even if HP doesn't have a decent BIOS to help with overclocking (with the thermals in this case I can understand way) Ryzen Master would let you overclock if you could get some cooling. If they had even sunk a side fan to help suck in the air, I'm sure that would help. I know I am harping on Thermals, but it's important. Cooler computers, means cooler components, which mean longer life. This hotbox also impacts the RX 580 Video card. Since the air is hotter in the case, it runs a bit hotter, which means a bit less performance. Now I can see HP designers were targeting the computer to run at a solid and boring 60fps and this machine can do it, but at the loss of performance. What is the point of having these nice components if you can maximize the performance.
Honestly HP has a good PC, just a horrible case, a not great motherboard (it's not bad, just not good and good be better, again for getting the most out of your CPU/GPU). The biggest annoyance is the Wireless card that’s part of the motherboard, is only a 1x1, which means it can only run one channel on Wireless AC. This limits the wireless speed and overall performance of the wireless card. It works, but it could be a lot better. Most wireless chipsets are 2x2 or more allowing for a better Wireless experience. Where I have it in my house its only 30 feet in a direct line of sight from the router, but you may have problems depending on where you place, if you get this PC.
Overall the biggest problem is the case. HP took a great CPU, perfect for a teen to do light streaming and gaming with no issues and killed the overall potential of the platform. Yes it works, and I'm sure HP tested to ensure it will work within spec, but it could be a lot better, and if you game and know Hardware you want to get the best price/performance you can get and in all honesty you won't from this PC. At this point, I'm going to get a new Motherboard and case, and move the parts into something that will allow these parts to perform as I know they can. I do not recommend this PC for gaming. It will work, but there are better PC's with better cooling, and if you are thinking of moving this PC to a new case, just buy your parts and build from scratch.
I give it two stars because it works, HP used a decent set of parts, there was minimal bloatware installed and it was an easy out of box setup, but beyond that, there is nothing to recommend this PC to anyone.

Feel your Skull Vibrate

This is an interesting pair. If you want bass that vibrates your head, this is the headset for you.
Overall the setup is easy and the soundstage is adequate and sounds good enough for me. What sets these headphones apart from the competition is the fact the base will vibrate your whole head. The headset is comfortable and didn't overheat my ears. It was comfortable on my head for the whole day I was wearing it at work. Didn't dent the battery. They claim 29 hours, and while I haven't run a full charge for that long, the 8 hours or so I've used seems to support the length. So this is good for long flights, or days without needing to charge and as a backup, even if you don't have battery left, and you have a headphone jack on your device, you can still use these headphones with the included AUX JACK.
I also am happy this set of headphones came with a nice hard travel case that is fairly compact and shouldn't take up too much room in your travel case etc.
These headphones are also unique in the fact they don't have a compainion appliction. Normally I'd like that, but with the bass control on the side of the headphones not giving any feedback, as to the level, beyond what I could figure from my music, an app to control/see the settings would have been welcome.
Once you dial in the bass though, from bone shaking loud to just right these are a fine pair of headphones, while not noise cancelling they do a decent job of isolating you from the noise around you and let you jam to your tunes. If you don't need active noise cancelling and what to really feel your bass with your headphones give these a try.

Lighten household chores with this SHARK® ION™ vacuum system. The lithium-ion battery supplies a long-lasting charge, and the 0.66-quart dust cup and HEPA filter collect dirt, hair, and dander to prevent allergen buildup. This SHARK® ION™ vacuum system comes with a built-in power vacuum to help with those extra cleaning jobs.

TLDR - This is a decently functional robot that does a good job at daily cleaning to get the general dust and dirt of daily life, and for what the robot can't reach the included HandVac is a great addon.
Setup:
The physical setup of the robot vac is easy, and takes a few seconds. Chosing the right place isn't too hard, just needs to be open space so the robot can find it's way back. The had vac snaps in for charging and its ready for use. Actual setup to use the App is a bit trickery. While this is an improvement over the inital release from last year, it still desires a bit in setup. If the Robot is slow to connect to your Wi-Fi network it forces you to keep repeating. There is no troubleshooting/error message, but it does get frustrating when your trying four or five times sitting next to the wireless router trying to get it on the network. This is more likely more my network, then the robot, but it would be nice to get some better feedback, have the ability to wait a bit longer for it to connect etc then the default, reset, reset, and reset. Once its on the network, you may need to put in a barrier to keep it out of the places you don't want. They include a decent length, just wish it was more, of the bot boundary.

Use:
Using the robot and app is fairly striaght forward. The app is a definite upgrade from when they had v1 from last year, it can now push alerts to your phone letting you know when the robot is in trouble etc. Handy if your not home, or its in part of your home you not around at the time it is out cleaning, you can go and help it. This can occasionally happen with a cord left in its way etc. Doesn't happen often, but its nice to get a push message. Scheduling is a breeze and you can just let it run. We normally let ours run every day in a room that the kids use, so it gets the general dirt and dust from use and keeps the room clean without a worry. At least the floor, it can't dust yet. Unlike other robots this one just wander around in a randomish pattern, but it seems to work fine in getting the room clean and not going past the boundary strips. The dust cup is fairly large so we tend to need to empety once a week, but this is on a daily cleaning on mostly wood floors, with a few area rugs. On carpet might need to empty more often, still nice that the cup is large that it doesn't have to be a daily thing to remeber.
Cleaning its fine, it would be nice if it was less random and more well AI like in the cleaning following a clearly mapped path, but even for a random cleaning pattern it does a good job.
The included Handvac is very strong and light. Easy to use and great for grabbing quick messes without a hassle. I'm very impressed with the power packed into this little wand. The only down side is they include a few vacuum heads for the cleaning, but nowhere in the charing station to store them, so you have to find another place for them. It would be nice if they had a place, instead of a shelf nearby, but the fact the handvac has apparently to me soooo much power, I can live with that shortfall.

Overall:
The robot keeps the room clean and is fairly quite. We don't have pets, just children, and the room they use is kept clean and that is really what I want. Its most a a setup and forget sort of device, that does its job daily without monitoring and only occansionally cleaning of the filters and dust cup. Overall if you are looking for a robot vacuum this is something to look at. The App is fairly simple but gets the job done, and isn't a fancy cleaner, but one that just works.

Solid Portable Travel SSD
on November 19, 2018
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is my first portable SSD and I can say this is an impressive little package. First it is IPX67, so that makes it rugged. Dust and relatively waterproof, as well as able to withstand a 3 meter drop, this is a nice feature even if it just sits in a travel bag, or my case, velcroed to the back of my desktop (more on that in a second), it means you don't have to worry about it. Additionally the G-Drive comes with a five year warranty. That's nice they have faith in product to support it that long when other drives are lucky to get 3 years usually.
Setup is a bit tricky for two reasons. While they do include two connectors for USB C and regular USB the cords are short. 3 inches, if that short. So if you are like me and wanted to use it with a desktop, either you'll need a new cable or end up velcroing the drive to the back of your computers to connect it. The other issue is if you aren't on a MAC you will need to reformat the device, or install a driver to read MAC Formatted drives since they use the native MAC format and nothing something cross platform like exFAT. Reformatting to native NTFS wasn't a large issue for me, but I believe they have some support pages on reformatting if you aren't sure on how to do it, just note if you are getting this to use on a Windows device, it will require this step.
However once I had it reformatted and plugged into my standard 5Gbps USB 3.0 port I ran a speed test and I was impressed. Normally over USB 3.0 I'm happy if I can transfer at 100MB to 120MB a second from my internal SSD to an external HDD. This drive ran at a steady 325MB copying a 10GB of various files from large to small. It kept the speed steady with no drops in copying. This is fast enough that I can use this external drive and treat it like an internal drive and have my Virtual machines run off them without issue. I'm sure on a USB 3.1 with more bandwidth I'd have gotten a better transfer, but like I said this performance on USB 3.0 is good enough that for me, it acts like an internal drive and I don't notice any issues since I have started hosting my VM's on it.
I am very impressed with the drive and package. Its light, small and strong, and has the speed that I need. If you are looking for a SSD and don't mind a little work to get it working on a Windows PC, or have a MAC, this is a decent choice in a great sleek package.

Not ever having a purpose groomer, it was a nice change of pace. The two heads to tackle different tasks is nice, and the fact they each have there own on/off button helps in using the side you want.
I found it handled my hair, though the razor foil edge I learned fairly early on to watch the cutters leading to the foil edge because they can pull. Once I adjusted to this I am happy in using this this to trim back my hair and keep it where I want.
My only complaint is it didn't come with a travel case. Really the only fault I found was not having a way to safely store it and travel with it. Otherwise if you want to scape the landscape this will get the job done.

The Streamlabs water monitor gives you the peace of mind that your home is protected from water damage. It attaches easily to your existing plumbing, with no pipe cutting required, and uses ultrasonic technology to measure and detect changes in the flow of the water in your pipes. It's Wi-Fi enabled, so you can check on your home anytime, anywhere using the smartphone app. And real-time leak alerts will notify you if you need to take action. The Streamlabs water monitor is also part of your complete smart home, integrating with both Nest and Alexa systems.

Overall the Streamlabs Wi-Fi Home Water system is a useful device. It helps monitor water usage and alert you of potential leaks. This is something handy having dealt with a leaky toilet in the past, knowing I have water running in the house would have helped me find it fast. This also helps you monitor and get a better idea of your water usage in the house and determine what you can do to reduce that.
*Installation*
The streamlabs requires the use of an App, so an iOS/Android device is required for this. That said they did a really nice job with the App. It walks you through installation and tries to make it as painless as possible. What I did like about the App setup is I happened to be doing this while I had network trouble at the same time and even though I had to exit and restart a few times the App picked up where it left off, and never was I in the position of having to do a full reset, reinstall etc. This is something that you don't normally see and shows Streamlabs is focused on the product because they spent the time to make the App usable and understand issues happen.
Setting up is simple, within the App you create an account, and then it walks you through first getting the device onto your Wi-Fi network (Note this device only works on the older 2.4 GHz network, which makes sense since your water line is rarely in a good line of sight to your router). Once that is done they walk you through attaching it to your pipes. This can be done by one person with no tools, which is great. All you need to do is find a place near where the water inlet to your house is to mount it. I had to remount mine because I choose a bit of pipe (it was easier to reach for my height) that was floating free and didn't have anything behind that. That prevented the device from being able to ultrasonically read my water flow. However since the Streamlabs is attached using zip ties, a couple of snips and moving it so there was a wall behind it, allowed the device to detect/monitor my water flow. Please note when you do this, to calibrate the device they need the water not to flow, and recommend you turn off the water. So when installing pick a time when it is convientent to have the water off.After it reads the non-flowing pipes they recommend you flush a toliet. When I did, I was impressed. My toilet is rated for 1.9 Gallon flush and that is what the App said was my water usage. After that you can set leak alerts for slow/large leaks. This may take some tweaking to better understand how your applicances etc use water in the house, though the defaults weren't too bad for me.

*Usage*
Using it is simple, it sits and monitors your water, if it detects a leak, or someone taking an extra long shower you get an alert on your device. While it can't tell you where it is coming from, it can tell you its occuring giving you time to react before potential damage is done to your house. Additionally they have an away mode, which I assume is more aggressive in noting water running, again letting you know when your out and allowing you to react instead of coming how to a scene from the Titanic in your living room.
So far I'm very happy with Streamlabs. They made a product, that so far, works as expected, has an excellent application and is easy to install with no tools. Only thing you need is access to your water line and a wi-fi signal and your in business. If you are interested in monitoring your water as well getting alerts on leaks and want a device that you can install with no hassle, I think Streamlabs is a winner.

I really enjoyed this vacuum as I needed a handheld/full vacuum for smaller rooms in the upstairs and I didn't want to lug my full size vacuum up and down all the time. Not being battery powered might be seen as a downside, but for me it is not. The power of this thing being plugged in is worth the hassle of dealing with a cord. For cleaning rooms, carpet and hard floors, this thing ingests all the dirt and hair. Honestly the power is equal to my full size in a nicer smaller package, the dirt cup is large and the fact it can act as a handheld vac is handy. It was really easy to do my stairs for once.
I also enjoyed there engineering, if you don't want to wall mount, it breaks down so it can rest without the top heavy vacuum falling over. Very well designed.
The few times I've used it to clean I've been impressed and very happy. If you need a vacuum for cleaning, don't let this form factor put you off, its perfect to do a whole house and bit easier then say a full size vacuum without giving up the power.

Comfortable for All Day Use

TLDR - This is easy to use and very comfortable, even if it looks weird. Using this mouse all day long is simply a joy. If your right handed don't hesitate if you need a mouse, this is it.
Logitech has made another great mouse in my opinion. For my hands its easy to grip and even though the form factor is completely different from any mouse, the way it rests in your hand and position of the buttons is natural and didn't take any learning from me.
Setting up the mouse for use is easy too. You have three ways to connect, with the Logitech Unify connector (handy since you can program different devices) bluetooth and cabled. I like the ability to have it cabled in case the rechargable battery, which can be removed by the user, runs out, or I don't have bluetooth or the dongle handy.
The mouse itself is soldly built and I like the meshish pattern giving it a modern looks. It feels solid and isn't too heavy or light. Glides across the desk with ease and I've been very happy using it these last few days.
The only complaint I have (and its minor) there is no storage bay in the mouse for the USB Dongle for connection. That means if you need to switch between computers it will have to be carried loose, which is not ideal.
Beyond that I haven't had an issue with the mouse. They have software to program the buttons, but for me out of the box it worked the way I needed so I didn't need to create fancy programs, but it is there for the more advanced mouse users.
What I like is using it all day my hand doesn't feel like I've been using a mouse all day, I will say though if you are left handed, the version I got will not work for you, it is definitely molded to your right hand.
I can't recommend this mouse enough though because of the comfort, I'm very happy to use this as my daily driver in the office and I'm sure you will be happy too with it.

Great Monitor for you Work At Home Types

Let me say straight off the bat this has typical Dell Quaility and Picture for the Monitor. There is no complaints from the picture/color of the monitor. For my needs it is perfect and I'm happy, but I have a few notes for those shopping for monitors that may or may not matter:
1. This is not a standard VESA mount. If you were planning on using a something to mount a monitor that uses a typical VESA mount this is not the monitor for you. It has its own very solid stand, but is not VESA compatible from what I see.
2. Input to this monitor is HDMI only. Yes it has two HDMI ports, but it is an HDMI only monitor. If you're looking for a monitor to connect your work system to when you work in office from home, make sure you have an HDMI port on the laptop, not Display port or a suitable dongle to convert from HDMI to display port or VGA.
3. While it has an easy to assemble stand and its solid the monitor does not roate in the stand. Just tilts a bit, so if you need height adjustment for rotation of the monitor to portrait, this is not the monitor for you.

That all said, I like this monitor, I'm happy with it. The biggest issue I have is having to use the OSD to change sources when I have two different computers plugged into the monitor and on, would have liked just a single button press. The picture is great. No bleed and the monitor does look great, with deep blacks and nice bezel that disappears into the monitor. If you need an office monitor for when you from home, this is definitely a monitor to consider. Espescially if you want one that is easy to setup and start using, then this is defintiely one to consider.

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.
