Interesting Data.
on September 1, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall the uHoo device is an interesting mix of sensors for monitoring air quality in a room, what I'm unsure with the device is the calibration of the sensors. For things like particles in the air or even CO2, I don't have anything else to compare it with, so the measurements it provides me I take with a grain of salt only because I can't verify the readings. That was my biggest problem, I just don't know off hand how accurate within a reasonable range they. I didn't see anything so out of whack that I doubt it, I just wonder how best to verify the data. That said let's get onto setup with the uHoo. That was very well done. I was using the Android version, but unlike a lot of other IoT devices this walked you through setup and it was easy without an issue and the device came online first try no needing to figure out how to reset it and try again. It just worked, that was very nice.
Once that is done, you just leave the device in whatever room you want to monitor. I'd recommend at least for the first week you turn off the alerts in the app since a few of the sensors took a few days to calibrate according to the app, like the volatile compounds. Once its dialed in you can adjust the alert thresholds and monitor the air quality. I do appreciate the app allows me to set alert levels, since you can customize your thresholds. Now the app does take this information from all the sensors and gives you a score from 1-10 on the ability of viruses to live in that area. Interesting information and that is all it is. Nothing something that will prevent them. Just gives you an idea of what you might want to adjust.
The overall sensor package is small, and looks ok and can fit anywhere where it can get power and Wi-Fi. This can be handy to monitor spaces for dust or should I open a window, or what the temperature is. The graphs in the apps are nice and a handy way to track trends for the month. Overall if you are looking for a sensor package to monitor the diverse things this covers from CO/CO2/Volatile Compounds/Temperature/Humidity/Air Pressure/Dust/Ozone/NO2 this might be something you can use.

Great Wheel
on August 29, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is my first wheel and first time using a wheel. Overall I'm happy, but expect so spend some time dialing it in. I didn't get a chance to test it with a PS4, but was able to test with a PC. If you are getting this wheel for PC gaming exclusively I do recommend you choose the XBOX version as there are a few more supported games then the PS4 version on the PC due to Microsoft Windows liking XBOX control scheme. That said setup was easy. Mounted securely to my desk without issues. Very easy system and the pedals have enough heft that they didn't shift around on my carpet. The cables have a good reach, so routing them wasn't a huge deal, I was able to position everything to be comfortable. Since I already have Logitech's G Hub installed on my PC for my mouse the wheel was seen immediately and ready for action. I happened to try a few different games and this the part where the wheel isn't as plug and play as a controller. It takes time with each game to dial in the settings that make it feel good, so expect to fiddle with the settings for the game you want. For me, not being a wheel expert it did take me some time for WRC 3 /Crew 2/Forza horizon 3/Grid 2019 to get the Wheel dialed in the way it felt natural and good. Again I feel as I use the wheel and learn about the settings in games and read more forum posts it will be a faster setup for newer games, but being new expect to spend about 30 minutes to hour per game playing with the settings and tweaking it to get it right. Once it is dialed in it feel great on the games, esp. Grid 2019 that fully supported "True Force" racing giving a feeling of being on the road. It gives you a better feel for the speed and the control is more natural if you drive a lot. Did it make me better at these games? No. Partly because I'm still used to controllers, but mostly because I am not the greatest at playing these games. But it did give me a greater sense of immersion in the game and feeling of being on the road. I had I think a bit more fun losing then I normally would.
Overall the feel of the wheel and pedals is very premium and it have a lot of heft to wheel especially. This really does help in providing some immersion to the games and the fun. Now as soon as I get my PS4 back, I'll be able to try Gran Turismo, and I'm hoping the setup on the Console for that game will go faster now that I have an idea of the different settings and what I seem to like.
TLDR: Great feeling wheel, if this is more for PC Gaming using the XBOX version since it covers more PC Games, but if you are willing to put in the time to tune the settings it really adds to the fun and immersion of the games.

Great Business Headset
on August 4, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall for call clarity and battery time this is a great BT headset for both your computer and phone. The mic keeps your voice clear even when the kids are watching there videos and being kids. The people I was talking to didn't have an issue hearing me or making me out, nor did they complain about the noise. So this is a great mic for a noise environment and I'm happy with.
Only reason it isn't five stars are for two reasons.
1. The headband, while comfortable is tight on my head dig in, so after a few hours it can get uncomfortable and need you will need to take it off for a bit to rest.
2. The App on the phone was ok, but updating the firmware I had no luck. It could be a phone issue with my Android 10 device, but it wouldn't download. Luckily though this vendor ( which is why its 4 stars and not 3) has a Windows/MAC app. The app installed and over USB I updated the firmware no problem.
This headset also has voice command which can be neat if your into that for sure, but for me I needed headset that I could take calls from and have a true all day battery in spades. This headset for sure has that battery which is awesome. Its nice to have a headset that will cover 10 hours plus of calls in a day and not have to worry and the range is great. It was connecting to my laptop downstairs while I was upstairs over 100 feet away on a different floor. That was awesome. Again you need an all day headset and can take breaks from wearing it for 10 minutes every few hours you'll be happy with it.

Perfect for a Dad on the Go
on July 21, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This Camcorder is perfect for me on the go with the kids and the dog. The fact it can double as a camera and takes excellent pictures. In fact because of the optical stabilization it takes great pictures without a tripod and a nice optical zoom it makes it really cool. I've included an example of a picture taken in a poorly lit room from a distance of my keyboard. Did a nice job. I like the fact it was also easy to pair with my phone for remote control of recording/pictures and send them to the phone. Otherwise taking videos of the kids was really easy and have been coming out great even as they move and run. Also it had a mode to take stop motion, which I've always wanted to do and that was cool. Basically this is a cool camcorder with better image you can get from a phone and easy to use. I do highly recommend you follow the recommendations for an SD card for recording. The battery seems to last enough to get me through what I need. I honestly admit I haven't stressed it trying to get 160 minutes of video in one shot, but getting a bunch 10 minute videos/pictures I can get through the day without issue.
I've been very happy to carry this around to capture memories of my kids and the video looks great that makes the grandparents who are remote being able to enjoy it on the TV with great clarity. It is really easy and if you need a camera to capture pictures and take videos this definitely seems to be the one.

Good Shaver for Daily Use
on June 20, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I am the type of guy who gets that old school 5 pm shadow, so a daily shave is necessary for me and having something to easily shave in the morning and maybe in the evening is needed. This definitely does that for me. It gives a close enough shave for daily use, not as good as a razor blade, but its easy and quick and I enjoy that. This is the first foil shaver I've used, but I didn't have a problem with it. Cleans easily under a facet and nice to see they included some oil to keep this working and smooth. It has a trimmer and other attachments for the more breaded among us, but since I don't let it get long I can't say how effective it is. Only real downside for me is no included travel bag or a recharging station, so it takes up a bit more space then I'd like, but it gives a good quick shave that is smooth for daily driving without irritating me so its a win.

Neat Little Buds
on June 15, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
These are definitely a nice pair of ear buds.
TLDR: They sound good, fit nice, have Tile built in for hide and seek, with decent battery life and easy to use in stereo or mono, and function as great BT Headset for phones for the WaH crowd.
Setup:
Setup is easy to pair. They come with a charge so just take them out of the case, or both and connect with Phone or PC. No problem pairing. Also no problem once paired with using both or either left or right ear piece as required. Using one or two, they all repaired with phone or PC no problems which is nice. Setup with Tile was also easy. Install the Tile App (I did in Android), sign up and then do the setup. It walks you through without any issues. I just followed the directions on the screen and had it working. It is a nice feature in case you take an ear bud out and forget where you put it down.
Usage:
They work. I haven't had an issue taking them out and pairing with my device and the listening/calling at all. It is nice to have something that will just work, esp. since I might take one pod out of an ear for comfort, it will switch between mono and stereo automatically and just working was great. While each ear bud does have a button to help you do things like adjust volume, answer calls etc, from a comfort standpoint I did feel the buttons needed a bit more push to click then is comfortable for my ears at time, so I tended not to use them in the ear. The other thing from a comfort standpoint, and this isn't a design fault, more a my ear fault, but my left ear would require me to remove the ear bud after a bit, while my right was fine for the day. I only mention this to people who don't wear in ear buds there may be an adjustment time to help get your ears comfortable. However the great thing with these ear buds is they sound great when both or one is in, so it's not a huge deal for me since it just works.
They do have 3 EQ Modes, Music, Movie and Podcast. I'm not the best person to say what the difference is, but even in Music mode, everything sounded great, but you do have some adjustment on the ear buds if you need it, which is a nice touch.
Overall I love these things, they stay in and if they do fall you have Tile to help you find where it rolled. The Charging box is magnetic so they snap right into the right alignment for charging. Have a decent play time of 5 hours before needing a charge and support fast charge to get you two hours of playback in 10 minutes. The Case supports another 19 hours of charges letting you get through a whole day if you need to. The package is small and easy to fit into your pocket/purse/backpack for carrying. If you need something that works and works and sounds good I can recommend these for sure.

Not a Bad Way to Pound out Stress
on May 10, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a nice way to pound the stress tension out without getting your pound partner tired. Its small, portable, and fairly silent which is nice. It definitely has the force to pound the muscles and tension out, and for something that is generating a decent amount of force doesn't make a lot of noise which is a nice touch. It fits nicely in the hands and I think because of the shape don't tire the hands holding the device even though it is pounding into flesh. Overall I like this a lot for handling the tension I tend to get in my shoulders and does a good job releasing the tension and keeping them loose. Only thing about this device that is ever so slightly annoying is the charger plug. They put the tines in middle of this brick making it take up to slots when you plug it in. It would have been nice if they were offset like other devices so I don't lose an extra plug. Though it charges fast, so swapping it in and out is just an annoyance, but one that is just annoying on plugs stuffed with other chargers making finding a permanent spot for the charger tricky. Also I wish the carrying case had space to store the charger as well, so it won't get lost on longer trips.
Otherwise this is a great device that does provide a surprising amount of force to sore muscles in a simple to use package that works and I'm happy with it.

Awesome Swedish Night Light Speaker
on April 29, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is just a neat looking speaking, and has that swedish look. The clean lines and wood accents. Its very large, but for the size its very light and mostly plastic, but it looks clean and very cool. The sound is great and the included remote is a nice touch.
My tween daughter has been using it as not only a speaker but as a night light. It has multiple modes of the RGB lighting and most of them can be dimmed or brightened as required.
As a speaker the sounds is good. Its not amazing, but from a Phone streaming music/podcasts it can fill the room and provide an enjoyable sound. It is also splash proof which is nice and its light enough to be easy to move.
Overall its a great speaker, esp. if you like the look and want something to setup on a tabletop and give some mode lighting.
This is a great speaker for a kids room, who wants to stream music and have a "cool" looking room.

Nice automatic Vaccum
on April 27, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Setup
Let me say first up I really like the voice for the setup and device. It made setting up the device much easier with feedback, instead of looking at blinking lights and wondering.
Taking it out of the box it was easy to get it out and get it charging. Like the fact they give spare brushes and for the camera they have a cover so if you don't want your vacuum camera to look around, then they got you covered which is a nice addition for people who don't want camera's everywhere in their house.
The app paring was fine, it walks you through it, and while it took me a few times, I put that down more to Android 9, since I have to do the same thing just about with my phone when I pair one of these devices. However it isn't hard to deal with, the app even tells you, you need to connect directly to it. Once setup you were ready to go.
Cleaning
Does a great job vacuuming. I don't have any issues and it will even map out the room/route it did, which you can setup virtual boundaries, which worked for me, but nicer it pointed out in the room problem areas to let you fix, like cords, shoes etc and let it reclean.
I also like that it doesn't run until the battery is done, it knows if it vacuumed the room and heads back when it is done. The mopping piece is nice additional to give the floors a once over. It won't give a deep clean but just for a quick mop and picking up the dirt it did a great job for that and didn't soak the floor.
It has a bunch of great additional features in the app from virtual boundaries and other advanced features. I used the virtual boundaries, but haven't dug into some of the other deeper settings.
It has a camera for checking on pets etc., but I haven't tested it as I have been having Internet issues, but it hasn't stopped the vacuum from getting it's clean on.
TLDR
If you are looking for a vacuum that can do a light mop this is a good vacuum. It does a great job at cleaning to keep the dust away.

I love This Mouse for Gaming
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I must admit I am very happy with the Steel Series 3 Rival Mouse. This is a nice simple mouse that works really well. It has satisfying clicks, great registration and easy to use. You need a mouse for gaming that is light, feels great (it is right handed) and is easy to use this is the mouse.
SETUP: Nothing fancy, plug it in to a USB port. Its a wired mouse and the wire is more then long enough to reach the back of my desktop to the front of my desk with plenty of slack. No wireless setup, just works. I enjoy that. You can install the software, which seems solid, easy to use and adjust your profiles. Additionally you can set config's with the software to executables/games making it easy to control profiles so you have one for Rocket League and another for Division 2 etc. I also did like the lighting options. If RGB lighting is your thing this has some newer and different options for RGB I haven't seen before which was a nice change in pace. If you aren't into RGB, which I totally understand, you can turn it off with a simple selection of disable RGB. Overall the software configuration and options for the mouse seem perfect without going crazy.
Usage: While this mouse seemed at first a bit lighter then I liked I didn't have any issues. It glided across my desk and had no issues. The clicking is a great feeling and it was just a joy to use and concentrate on my game and not worry about the mouse, or more accurately I can't blame this mouse for my horrible game play. Its all me. That is great.
Overall I'm very happy with this mouse. This mouse has won me over and I'm very happy with it. If you need a mouse for gaming, that doesn't require 30 buttons (you Moba guys) this is a great mouse and I have no reservation recommending this mouse. A solid product that does what you want. Get you into the game.

Does the OS come installed on the HDD? If so do we get a product key so that we can switch it to the SSD? And last, but not least, can I system reset the computer and reinstall the OS from scratch??? Thank you.

OS is installed on the SSD not the HDD. But you could change it I guess. However if you are planning on swapping the SSD to something larger, not this the SSD in this PC is M.2 SATA SSD and not the 2.5" Inch form factor.

As long you use the same Microsoft Account the OS Key will transfer based on the Microsoft account, no need to renter a key.

It mentions 9hr of battery life. Ignorant about wireless...is there a required charger? Does it come with headphones?

It comes with an USB Micro Cable. This can be plugged into a computer to charge (about 2 1/2 hours for full charge from 0%) or if you have a spare AC to USB connector (Comes with a lot of last Generation Android/Windows Phones) you can connect to the wall to charge.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
 

If I wake this device up and my wife happens to rattle off our bank name and account number, is that information sent to Google to help improve their device's voice recognition? I am major worried about things like this with these devices

Once you say Hey Google, it will record and it gets stored on the Google Account associated with the device. Google does allow you to not only see what it has but delete it. They also added a H/W mute to prevent the device from recording. But yes they do store this information and use it.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
 

Do I have to have a tablet or smart phone to activate this? Or, can I activate this from a laptop?

You need an Android (Phone or Tablet) or Apple (iPad/iPhone) device. Google unfortunately doesn't provide for use by Computer at this time and playing with the Android App I'd say you'd be better off with an Android device to get the most out this thing.

Will it help to stop buffering?

This depends on why you are having buffering issues. If your buffering issues are because your internet is slow/ISP not able to deliver no. That is outside the house. However if you have a good ISP/bandwidth coming into the house then this can help, as it improves coverage and since MU-MIMO devices are better able to share wireless with multiple devices. You may still need/wish to upgrade the wireless cards to the newer AC ones that support MU-MIMO to get additional throughput but this may help.
