A true 3-in-1 robot
on February 8, 2025
Posted by: 3Tcubed
The Eufy E20 is not the robot vacuum of the past, offering the convenience of removing the vacuum module from the robot to be used as either a handheld or stick vacuum. Boasting 30,000 Pa max of suction power, five stage filtration and fast charging, the Eufy E20 is ready to replace your robot vacuum, your handheld vacuum and your versatile stick vacuum.
The unboxing experience was refined, presenting the instructions for unboxing, setup and installation as the first experience after opening the box of the new E20. In the box there is one of everything that is needed to run the vacuum including a dust bag for the base station, a brush for sweeping debris toward the main roller head, the stick vac attachment, the wedge attachment and the brush attachment. The app was very easy to install and register the vacuum (it tracks run info in the cloud). I was happy to see that the app offers maintenance trackers to remind you when the roller, dust bag and other wear items need to be replaced, but I would have loved to see an extra dust bag in the box as a complimentary replacement (all of my other vacuums came with more than one). Since the unit uses the base station to collect dust in all modes, I could see the bag getting filled more often than a standard robot vacuum. Another part of the setup that needs to be mentioned; that the base station comes with a long cord to connect to a wall outlet, but also comes with a feature in the plastic housing to wrap excess cord out of sight. A very helpful feature considering the length of the cord.
Using the E20 in Robot mode. After setting up the E20 with the app, the app prompted me to run a mapping sequence so the E20 could get acquainted with its surroundings. Moving around my first floor, the E20 robot used its millimeter-level obstacle avoidance through its three laser sensors. The whole process took about 5 minutes and finished by docking itself at the base station and pushing the map of my main level to the app. After naming the rooms I could set vacuum power, define a rectangular zone for cleaning, an individual room or the entire mapped area. I appreciated this flexibility as I could send the robot to clean the area near my cat’s litter box to sweep up instead of making it do the entire room. This is much more clever than most apps, as it allows you program areas to be avoided when doing the set up.
Using the E20 in Handheld mode. There is a large red button on the robot to eject the vacuum from the robot and it can be removed with one hand. There is even a fine-detail wedge attachment built into the robot housing so it is harder to misplace. The handheld mode is where you can achieve the max suction power. There are marketing videos online that show people picking up small laptops and tablets with the suction power, but frankly once an attachment is installed it was hard for me to really notice much of a difference from other hand held-vacs; aside from the amount of suction when nearly covered. The sole user interface is a single “power” button that you have to press and hold to turn on and off, with momentary presses to change power. I find the hold time to be just a little too long, I would have preferred those functions to be flipped since the button is not easy to press accidentally.
Using the E20 in stick vac mode. The E20 being able to be attached to a stick attachment allows for easy touch ups without dispatching the robot to clean automatically. I find that suction is good in this mode and the head could be articulated by twisting the grip just like any other stick vacuum. One thing that was disappointing was that the head of the vacuum did not have a lock into the stick to lock it at 90
degrees for transporting room to room. Most other stick vacs will lock the head if the stick gets pushed all the way forward and it allows for the brushes to be lifted off the ground when pulling the stick back. The E20 does not have this, and I found it disappointing. This would be an easy feature for Eufy to add.
Final Thoughts
I love this robot vac, I've used it every day since I got it. It's especially great to pick up after pets. It runs exceptionally quiet and I can easily watch TV while it is running. The E20 is easily the best robot vac I have ever had the pleasure of using. I wish the stick vac had the locking feature I mentioned, but it is a small inconvenience that is made up by the ease of use in the app.

Very Flexible
on February 5, 2025

I was looking for a multi-person lock that a child could use and so that I could track workers that provide temporary codes to. I'm doing some upgrades and will have work people in/out for the next several months. I'll initially put it on one door and if I'm happy with it I'll put it on 3 others. I really liked the idea that I could use multiple methods to unlock the door(s), and more so like the feature that all open/closes are logged to the cloud. Being able to assign different "keys"/codes to different people was just what I wanted. I have a couple of smart locks but they only support 10 unique codes and they don't provide a logging capability. I'm aware that the lock only works with a 2.4Ghz wifi network. I have an independent 2.4Ghz for my smart home devices. My initial concern is that the lock requires 8 AA (alkaline) batteries, don't try using rechargeable batteries (per their documentation). My existing smart locks use 4 batteries and last about a year.
Installing the lock just required removing the old deadbolt and replacing it with the UltraLoq. The UltraLoq has a solid brass cylinder that looks much nicer than the zinc deadbolt I had previously. First the keypad harness has to be connected to the battery pack. Then two long screws screw through the battery box into the keypad to hold it together. The back of the battery box has a rubber backing. The keypad does not (I think it should) they claim the lock is IP65 weather rated; where I'm putting it it won't matter. After putting in the batteries I verified the keypad lighted up and worked. There is also a magnetic open/closed detector that requires a magnet to be mounted adjacent to the door, I'm going to do this later so that I can better hide it (route into molding/wall). They also have a YouTube video and it explains things more clearly than the written instructions.
I then downloaded the U Home app. The app supports multiple types of devices (Security, Power, Locks, Lights). I already have another app that controls about 40 lights, 10 switches and 15 power outlets and 8 cameras. I don't plan on migrating any of these to the U Home App. A few of my devices support Apple Home with Thread (Matter) Wi-Fi. I use Google Home and Alexa, but never with my locks so far, not sure this will change. I also have a SmartThings hub, a Thread Hub and multiple Z Wave hubs (as well as Zigbee). So everything that UltraLoq supports I have a means of communicating with. The included QR code made it very easy to add the lock to the app for initial set up. The app made it easy to enroll fingerprints (for one or more users), to set up a WiFi and Bluetooth (for Auto Unlock) and to set up electronic keys (each with a person assigned). Since I have a separate door handle, the auto open only opens the deadbolt. You still need to turn the knob to open the door (so it's not truly auto open). The app said I needed to update the firmware, it took multiple times for it to complete correctly, but it did eventually so I moved on (-1 star, puzzling why).
I have very strong wifi throughout my house, after setting it up, I wish the application had a means to tell me the wifi strength it was receiving. The function I like most is I can make sure the door is locked at a specific time every night and can tell me if the door is open or closed. The door has a self closure on it so knowing if it's locked is nice, if it's open is not as likely for me. So I've programmed it to lock at 9pm and 11pm. I've now set it up for 5 family members and made several programmable eKeys (for workers that I can limit time of day and delete entirely). The logging function works as expected. On one occasion after I reset my router the lock would not work. I removed a battery and everything reconnected properly. I'm glad I was on the right side of the door when this happened. I've had other wifi outages that did not have any effect. So far I'm pretty happy with it, but not ready to buy more until I determine what the battery life will be.

We can’t turn off all the background noise in your life. But help us help you with some of it. Activate the digital Detox Mode to disable the visibility to your social apps. Don’t worry, they’ll be there when you turn the mode off. Until then, enjoy some time in the real world. We’ve also added a touch more zen to the rest of your Android . The Balance Interface, has a few things moved around to make finding them easier. It even sounds more chill with alarms, notification sounds and ringtones that won’t have you jumping out of your skin. Make your phone more “you” with the Custom Button. You can set it up so that it does one thing when you hold it, and another thing when you double-press it. It’s your shortcut to your favorite game, navigating home, asking the AI-powered assistant of your choice weird questions, and more.

A very nice Android Phone
on January 21, 2025
Posted by: 3Tcubed
I've been​ a smart phone user for 20 years and a​n iPhone user for 18 years. I've moved back and forth from Android to iPhone several times. Each excels for a while and each falls behind in various areas time and time again. In specific terms Android phones (specifically w/Snapdragon CPUs) have had better BT audio capabilities than iPhones. Qualcomm's aptX audio is a game changer for wireless audio (BT) (IMHO it passed Apple's BT audio quality several years ago, and Apple is still playing catch​-up). The same can be said for camera quality, although lens implementation varies widely across Android phones, there are multiple Android phones that offer +100 megapixel cameras. Apple has none. Android phones have offered pro camera modes for years (including RAW images and AI editing), Apple cripples the cameras on their phones, behind their "Smart" processing, which prevents 'pro' photographers from using the full range of the camera's functionality. I have an iPhone 15 ​Pro and my wife has an iPhone 15​+, the Skyline's weight and size is more similar to the 15+ so I will compare it to that model. So let's look at some of the specifics behind the Skyline 5G.
The Skyline 5G has a OLED display with a fast 144Hz refresh rate and up to a 1000 nits peak brightness. It supports Miracast and Google casting with a 20:9 Aspect ratio with Gorilla Glass 3 with a 6.6" screen size and a screen resolution of 1080x2400 (406 ppi density) versus the 15+'s 6.7" OLED screen size and 1290x2796 pixels, (~460 ppi density) with a similar peak brightness. The HMD has a 4600 mAh replaceable battery supporting 33W fast charging (charger not supplied) (QC4.0 and PD3.0 PPS compatible) versus the 15+'s 4383 mAH non-user replaceable battery supporting 30W fast USB C charging (charger not supplied). The Skyline 5G weighs 208g vs a 15+ weighing 201g. The size and weight of the two are almost identical. The Skyline 5G supports Bluetooth® 5.2 with LE Audio and 15+ has BT 5.3; neither supports the more advanced BT 5.4 supported by newer earbuds/headphones.
The Skyline's display is very crisp and bright, indoors I can't say that it's any better or worse than the 15+. Outdoors in the shadows it's not as easy to see as the iPhone. In bright sunlight both have equal difficulties being read easily. The 15+'s greater DPI density is not obvious, perhaps the Skyline's faster refresh rate helps it here. I listened to music from both phones with the excellent 1000XM5's over the ear headphones. The Skyline's sound quality won playing my own HQ MP3's and with FLAC streaming. The sound had better depth and seemed to cover the full spectrum better, lower lows and higher highs. I expected a difference but the difference was greater than I expected. The quality out of the phone's speakers from the two phones was similar, with the 15+ being slightly brighter and louder. The 2 phone's focal lengths are different, a 3x zoom is closer to a 2x zoom on the Skyline. But comparing 2 images from the two the general colors captured are similar, the Skyline probably being a little brighter. When zooming in the Skyline has significantly greater detail (std res not High Resolution mode (50MP)). From 25' I could clearly determine the color/shape of a Christmas light on the Skyline, whereas on the 15+, I could just tell there was a bulb. But in low light the 15+ captured much better images, its handheld stabilization helped significantly. When taking the same picture on a tripod, the Skyline again had better detail but the brightest areas were washed out, but its general colors were more natural. I attempted to take some pictures of the full moon (on a tripod) and both cameras were unsatisfactory. The 15+ captured a huge glow around the moon (no matter what I did), and the Skyline gave me a crisper edge but insufficient detail (sort of fuzzy). I took some long exposures of stars, and got good results from the 15+ (handheld and on tripod) with a 5 second capture. And the Skyline was useless with a zoom handheld. But in astro​mode on a tripod it did a very good job, great sharpness, but I had to trigger the shutter remotely (BT Trigger). So the quality of the Skyline's images seems to be highly dependent on the phone being stabilized​ (its internal stabilization is not very effective). The 15+ has some form of digital stabilization that works very well, something missing from the Skyline.
I did find the Skyline's case to be pretty slippery (as is the 15+), I was able to find a clear case for it (problem solved). The Skyline's fingerprint sensor works very well, it can also be programed to serve other functions (like to take a picture in landscape mode). It also supports unlocking via facial recognition. I use my phones for streaming videos quite frequently and the Skyline's quality was excellent and very stable. Casting to one of my televisions or to my projector worked very well. The phone handled my 6G WiFi very well, getting 345 mbps down and 95mbps up (and 15+ is getting 390 mbps down and 8​0 mbps up) using Speedtest. I installed multiple apps through the Google Play store without any problems. Placing calls via BT worked very well. And using the phone as a speakerphone worked very well.. After using the Skyline for about a week it occured to me that it looked a lot like the old Nokia Lumia 1020 only a little bigger and thinner. At the bottom of the phone there is a tray for 2 nano SIMs and a nano SIM and microSD card (it can also support a or two eSims). I added a 400Gb SD card (spec says it supports up to a 1Tb card) and put my MP3 collection on it (280Gb). This is my favorite feature of Android devices, inexpensive expandability!​ I initially started to transfer my MP3 collection via a USB connection to my computer. But the SD card was not displayed. Turns out there is a USB setting called "USB Preferences" that must be changed to "This device" and "Use USB for "set to ​"File Transfer​". The phone does not ​'remember​' this setting; you have to set it every time you attach the device (BAD). Once I discovered this I tried dragging my collection to the Music folder, but it copied very slowly. So it seems even though it's a USB C port, it's still using USB 2.0 technology (BAD). ​This is very disappointing for a new device. (Copying via USB 2.0 would have taken over 14 hours; doing it over USB 3.0 took less than 2 hours). I connected a USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD, the device was recognised and worked but it was so slow. I also tested charging the Skyline via a​ new "magsafe" charger, it worked fine (supporting Qi2), but it charged at 1/2 the speed as ​a wired ​connection would (normal). The phone comes in 2 versions, 8GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. But the phone allows you to create up to 8GB of virtual memory (using storage space). This works very well in improving performance when running multiple apps/browser tabs. I don't see why the 12GB version is necessary at all.​ I suggest enabling the "memory extension" and "Auto Cleanup" when you set-up the phone. The phone comes with the Google Suite of tools/apps installed. If you've been using Chrome on any other device many of your settings/contacts can be imported. The phone performs very well, it supports Qi2 wireless charging and repairability (easy screen repair and battery replacements). The Skyline is not water resistant (IP54 vs IP67/68 being better). The Skyline runs a pretty clean install of Android 14. One of my problems with the phone is that HMD only provides 2 years of OS upgrades and three years of security patches for the phone. On the other hand Google promises 7 years of software and security updates for its phones. HMD's limited software support is at odds with the very idea of user-replaceable parts, which are intended to help keep the phone in working for a longer time (BAD).
The Skyline build quality is superb, it is a beautiful phone, rivaling that of the 15+. And it is repairable! Given it's not waterproof, I do wish it had a user removable battery and a headphone jack. I used it as a camera and MP3 player for a week and the battery still had a 10% charge.

A Superb Upgrade
on December 9, 2024
Posted by: 3Tcubed
I am quite excited about this product upgrade. I had considered getting the DJI Mic 2 just for its dual stereo mics. But the mini version addresses almost all my concerns. The new smaller size and improved case, that can easily fit in your pocket, is most excellent. In addition, having a total operating time of 48 hours versus 18 hours (Mic 2) is awesome. It now also has two levels of noise cancellation and an optional audio limiter to prevent clipping. But most important to me the transmitters went from 1oz (28g) to only 1/3oz (10g). The simple clip-on windscreens (in gray and black) are also much easier to use.
The Mic Mini can be used with numerous devices, pretty much anything that allows a microphone input, can now easily support two mono/stereo wireless mics with a range of about 400', both supporting noise cancellation. I doubt I'll be able to use it on a motorcycle ride, but all the other situations where the on-camera mic is insufficient (meaning more than 20-30'). The DJI Mic Mini can also connect directly to a smartphone supporting Bluetooth, or any camera supporting a BT connection. That adds to the flexibility. The Mic Mini also comes with a direct USB C connector so the wireless receiver can connect directly to a (newer) iPhone or any Android Phone. There are many digital video cameras that support the same and if they don't the 3.5mm TRS connector is the most common means of connecting an external microphone.
The first thing I did was a simple range test. Whenever the transmitter (mic) is connected solid green leds are displayed on the receiver and transmitter (mic). When it blinks green, it has lost its connection. I've previously measured 100 meters from a position in my front yard. At this distance (line of sight) the signal was just fine (receiver connected to my iPhone monitoring audio) at 330'. I moved 20 meters further (366'), and it was still fine, but I detected some drops with silence for too long. And at 330 meters, it struggled a bit more especially with long periods of silence. But the 400' mark seemed credible. I connected the mic via the strong magnets that connect to the back of the mic. These work very well, and won't damage fine shirts. And at 10g (1/3oz) they barely pull on the fabric. The magnet was plenty strong to attach through the thicker collar of a polo shirt. The quality of the audio at 300 meters seemed identical to the quality/level at 10 meters. So distance did not affect the levels of the audio. Excellent, I'm very pleased. I toyed with the two levels of noise cancellation, there was a difference and depending what background noise is one or the other might prove better. The audio limiter was much more interesting, I could literally scream into the mic, and the loudest levers were quite well tempered. This feature is very cool (it was not in the previous version).
I then connected to a DJI Action 3 via USB-C to USB-C cable (not provided) and it worked perfectly. And the DJI app showed the signal levels (with several other controllable options). I also connected to another popular mini camera via a 3.5mm TRS/TRS cable, and I had two stereo mics being recorded (mixed together). And then I connected and captured video with my iPhone (15 pro); also no issues. I'm sure all video cameras with a 3.5mm external mic input will also worked fine. I have to compliment DJI for cutting the size and weight of the new mini mic and improving the feature set (and making them more affordable). And they've followed existing standards so that a single mic can still be used with devices accepting BT inputs. Something that should become more common (as supported by the DJI Action 5 and Pocket 3) in more products. I superb wireless microphone set!

Beautiful Keyboard
on December 9, 2024
Posted by: 3Tcubed
The name "Razer BlackWidow v4 Pro 75%" is quite a mouthful.  I finally figured out the 75% part, it does not have the keypad to the right to make it 75% the size of a full keyboard. It's considered a mechanical gaming keyboard.  Taking it out of the box the first thing you notice is that this 75% of a keyboard is still hefty, weighing in at 2 lbs 3 oz (35 oz or 1kg).  As soon as you plug it in to charge it, you see just how pretty it's full color LEDs are.  At the top right there is a B/W OLED display.  This display cycles throught 6 separate selectable Command functions (Volume, Track, OLED Brightness, Back Lighting Brightness, Switch Apps and Zoom).  The OLED also displays the status of Cap Lock, Gaming Mode, Current Profile # (1-5), USB Connected, Battery Level and Cmd Dial selection.  Quite a bit of information.  The keyboard goes to sleep if no key has been hit (or dial turned) for 1 to 2 minutes. During this delay an alien invaders type game is displayed on the OLED the status of various functions (Bluetooth # connected, Volume Level, Battery Level).  The backlighting is quite exceptional and the light shined throught the keys so the keys are actually illuminated not just back lighted.  I installed the Razer's Synapse 4 software which also installs the Razer Chroma App and (optionally the Razer Cortex app).
But I got this for the "real" keyboard, and real key travel. The pre-key travel (the amount you can depress the key before it registers) is a bit more than 1mm and full key travel is 3.6mm. And to be able to program macros and to have profiles for various games.  The Macro creation is done throught the Synapse 4 app or via keyboard key sequence (fn+alt). The key sequence loads onboard memory with the key sequences (5).  The app allows you to store an unlimited number key sequences in your Razer cloud account, and load them into the specified profile number. The keyboard also allows you to customize the keyboard by changing switches.  There is a tool to remove the keycap and a tool to remove the key switch.  You can acquire additional keys throught razer.  I hooked the keyboard up to 3 seperate computers via bluetooth (Windows, macOS and Android).  Pairing went very easily, but switching from to another sometimes required the switch function (fn+1,fn+2,fn+3 to be done more than once).  To change the assignment, hold the fn key and number down for 5 seconds.  Anytime the keyboard comes back to life the pairing is displayed on the OLED display and the 1,2 or 3 key flashes base on the connection in use (pretty neat).  There are 10 predefined Chroma effects (Off, a static color, breathing, color cycling, wave, reactive, starlight, ripple, wheel and fire) any of these can be selected via the fn+ctl+# key sequence.  The Chroma App allows substantial additional customization.  These different patterns can be stored in your Razer cloud.  From there they can be loaded to the keyboard.
From Windows 11, I could not tell the difference between a hardwired USB connection and the Bluetooth connection. I suspect this was due to using BT 5.3, but not positive.  Both were very responsive, and under both I could overrun the keyboard buffer (miss keystrokes if hit too quickly), although this was more difficult than I thought it would be given the length of the key travel.  The amount of sound dampening is very good.  It's not like my clickety old Cherry keyboard.  It has very low and consistent latency making it very high performance for gaming. You can rest your fingers on "fire" or "move" buttons with some pressure waiting for action. On some keyboards, like most laptops, any pressure on the keyboard is registered as a press. That's where this keyboard shines.  Adding a good deal of quietness is a huge bonus (IMHO). Per key backlighting can be defined via their app so you can color your keys for each game being played (although you have to program this on your own - a one time setup). The OLED can apparently be user programmed from the Synapse app, I didn't try doing this.  I'm quite impressed by the aesthetics and functionality of this keyboard.  I look forward to using it for years to come.

I very nice improvement
on December 4, 2024
Posted by: 3Tcubed
My 10 year old receiver supports limited streaming services. I've added a Google casting device as well as a new BT 5.3 wireless interface. All to improve the quality of signal that my primary receiver(s) pickup.  One is for my primary listening area (30'x 15' family room) and my outdoor theater. Both full surround setups.  I've wanted music I stream from my iTunes library, Amazon, Sirius and other services to have higher quality.  Moving from BT 5 to 5.3 was an improvement.  Now will my new Node Nano do any better?  I considered several other models, but the device will be stored within my stereo cabinet where it won't be seen so displaying album artwork to the device was really not necessary.  It would be nice if this device had a HDMI connection to display album artwork to a display.  But come to think about it, 90% of the time that I'm listening to music I don't have my projector on.
Set up of the Node Nano was not as documented.  Depending on your platform you need to install the iOS, Windows, Android or Apple application (nice that all 4 exist, not just mobile devices).  First you need to power on the Node device and connect to it via BT.  Their documentation says you then need to connect to it's WiFi signal (I never found it, so it was not possible). But once connected to BT, adding up the device worked properly. Once connected it found an update, which took 45 min to install.  From there I needed to add my various streaming services (and remember their passwords).  It took me an hour to add 10, some required their App to be run (and installed) others did not.  So allocate some time to get the device set up (not surprised).  
One of the other reasons I got this, during the Christmas season, was so my wife could easily stream Christmas music from our NSA server or from SiriusXM (which has quite a number of seasonal music channels).  So I had to get the App set up on her iPhone.  Fortunately by using my account all of the streaming services I'd set up on my phone/PC were available from her iPhone.  It just had to define the Node Device.  All good.  Her only complaint was it took 8-10s to start playing music when the first song was selected.  I noticed this but it didn't bother me.
I hooked up the Node Nano to my receiver via RCA cable and the optical output.  From my receiver I could easily compare the difference.  My wife chose Sirius Rock Xmas music (I might have done the same).  After the initial delay (which I assume allows the device to fill its buffer before starting to play).  It sounded pretty darn good (first impression).  I had my receiver set to surround decode so my 7.2 speaker setup would all be used.  I smiled.  I was happy.  It sounded very good.  Not FLAC good, but considering the source it was far better than s BT stream would be.  Then the sound cut out, what?  I briefly got a BT signal, and it stopped the music.  It occurred to me that during setup I had to connect the Node to BT.  Once I disconnected it, the problem with dropouts was resolved.  A phone to Nano link is only necessary for setup (it seems).  Since I changed this setting no problems.  I then listened to some music from streamed Amazon, it was very good. As was Pandora.  Music from my local library was also excellent.  I then did a direct comparison from iTunes from my phone to the Node via BT5.3 and from my phone via a casting connection.  Both were good, but the Node had a little more richness in the mid to high range.  I thought the bass from the casting was a bit deeper.  A did a number of A-B comparisons, in the end I was not sure the bass was any better. But the overall sound quality was improved by the Nano.  So my first two tests had the Nano the winner.  I plan to put my album collection on a USB drive connected to the Nano.  I tried to stream from my local NAS server but had trouble connecting, a local USB drive connected to the Nano will allow me to access my library (~200Gb).
All and all I'm happy with my acquisition.  I do wish it displayed information about what is being played.  The app displays plenty of info, but the device does not.  When my sound system is behind doors, who cares, but when I'm looking at it I wish I had more information, but I really can deduct a star for that, as it's sound is better than what I had. And that's what I was after!

Works well
on November 22, 2024
Posted by: 3Tcubed
I live in Phoenix, AZ. In the spring/summer/fall you can count on finding me in my pool from about 5:15p till 6:30p (when I have to get out to make dinner). Any tool that I can find that helps me keep my pool cleaner, means a more peaceful, trouble free swim for me. For the last 6 or 7 years I've had a pool robot (or 3) that skims the surface (named: Rosie), removing surface debris. It stays in the pool 24/7 unless I put a cover on the pool to extend the swimming season. This Wybot C1 pro is a different kind of robot. It's designed to pick up debris from the bottom of the pool and to suck/clean algae from the sides and bottom. One of my least favorite pool jobs is brushing down the pool walls (and bottom). My previous pool crawler (suction vac) did ok cleaning the bottom but not so good with the walls. I'm hoping this C1 pro robot, which I'm calling: 'C3Pool O' eliminates these chores. I doubt it can handle the mess that Monsoon's and Haboob's bring occasionally; but keeping the pool clean the other 350 days a year will be just fine.
The Wybot C1 Pro is rechargeable. There is a screw on/off port on the top where you attach the charging cable. The charger is not in any way waterproof/resistant. It's similar to a power brick on a notebook. It seems to fully recharge in 2 to 2.5 hours. Which is about the maximum time it will run in the pool. There is an app that you should use to define the type of pool you have and what surfaces (floor/walls) you and it to clean. In my pool where the bottom curves to meet the wall the robot climbs almost 1/2 up the wall when turning (this is a good thing). I have a tile pool, but the robot climbs the walls with ease, they have a float collar that can be added if there was a problem on slick walls, I did not need it. I first fully charged the robot. When fully charged the green leds on the front will stop blinking (3 on) and the top led. When it's ready to clean (charging cord removed) the led will either be a light blue or purple (when connected to the app). To start it cleaning just slowly lower it into the pool until it stops releasing bubbles. Then you can release it and it will float to the bottom. It will take 20-30s for it to settle, then it "looks" around the pool to get is' berrings. And then off it goes starting with walls or floors based on what you've selected to be done first. After it finishes cleaning it will come to rest in a corner of the pool (or by a wall). They provide a plastic hook that you can attach to a pool pole to remove the robot from the pool. On the way up it feels pretty light. Once it gets to the surface, full of water, it gets heavier. If you slowly remove it most of the water will drain into the pool. If you pull it out too quickly it will drain a fair amount of water on your pool deck. You should then lift the handle on the top to expose the debris container. This should be emptied and rinsed clean. The robot sucks a great deal of water from the bottom and shoots it out the top, pushing it down, or out so that it can climb walls. Because the robot moves quickly, leaves can be pushed aside, but the robot makes many passes in an hour and should get most debris. It easily picked up a quarter, a 1"x1" tile and a 1.5" stone. Something my pool crawler would have missed. So the suction part works very well. I tried each of the programs for cleaning the floor. Each did something different, but not exactly the path I'd expected. In any case it ran long enough to pass every surface at least once. As far as floor cleaning I'd give it a 10. Wall cleaning was kind of iffy; where I have a rough waterfall lip, it got confused and did the same area over and over. Everywhere else where I have a square cool deck it did fine, except for my steps where its suction blew all the debris away, but I've never seen it climb the steps (3). But for routine cleaning it did a great job, much better than my skimmer pool crawler. I'm very happy with what I've seen it do. I do wish it were solar powered so it did not need to be recharged out of the pool. It would still need to be emptied after running. I also wish it could send a notification when it finishes, but when underwater it can't use its WiFi signal. But when at the top edge of the pool it seems to be able to connect via WiFi. So I think it could be improved, but it does it's job as is, I'd just like a little more. The run history function does not seem to be implemented.

Superb for kids!
on November 22, 2024
Posted by: 3Tcubed
I've tested many sets of headphones/earbuds.  The criteria for these are quite different. This set it going to my 7 year old grandson.  He's a huge Minecrafter player.  His other grandparents live about 2 hours from their home (we call it 'the farm'). I've taken the trip with him and his brother to 'the farm', while they both play on their tablets almost the entire trip.  The most frequent words spoken by his parents the entire trip are: "Please turn that down".  So not only am I getting these for my grandson, I'm getting them for his parents.  These headphones are downsized for kid size heads. Their is really no way to make a set of headphones that fit kids and adults.  First for kids they need to be lighter and cover smaller ears. BTW it's not a good idea to get kids regular earbuds, most think earbuds are not appropriate until age 10-12, and only if they limit the dB output to 85dB or below.  The same is true for headphones, but headphones can't be inserted too deeply in the ear.  Most pediatricians recommend headphones over earbuds for younger kids.
These headphones weigh about 1/2 what my over the ear headphones weigh; they weigh only 4.6oz. They come with a dropdown microphone that is turned off when raised.  The boom of the mic is bendable (not on a solid plastic boom).  And most important they can be used either wired or wireless (BlueTooth).  The headphones will last 25 hours on a single charge. They come with removable wired cable and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.  To test them I paired them with my iPhone.  I listened to some Boston. It sounded pretty rich.  Bass was subtle and if it turned it all the way up it never got let loud (limited to 85dB), which works.  But they sound nice at that level, bass is largely missing but mids and highs sound good.  The headphones only have two buttons.  On/Off and BT mode/pause.  Pairing worked easily. Hitting the BT button once paired paused and restarted playing music.
Time passed, and my grandson opened his headphone package. And without any assistance/instructions paired the headphones with his iPad and resumed his Minecrafters game. After about 30 seconds I got two thumbs up and a high five.  And the little joker quickly added I bet mom and dad like them too.  He used them for about an hour before breakfast.  He thanked me again and said he really likes them.  He wanted to know how often they need to be recharged (kids pick up this tech stuff so quickly).  Now that I have his approval I think I'm going to get his little brother a pair of his own for Christmas, but I'll get the white ones for him.  I feel like this was a total success.

Very Nice
on November 11, 2024

The Ninja Frost Vault 30Qt (48 can) cooler has one very unique feature, a dry drawer (which is about 10 Qt). The cooler itself weighs just over 20lbs. It has approximately 3" of insulation on the outer surfaces. They claim the dry drawer will keep the drawer's contents below 40 degrees, if there is 15 lbs of ice (or other frozen contents) in the main cooler. The top of the cooler is nearly perfectly flat (which I like). It has a single large (easy to open/close) latch. The drawer also latches. To test the cooler I put about 8 lbs of ice in the main container. I wanted to see how many days it would keep some of the ice solid. I've done this same test on other high end coolers. Anything over 2 days is respectable (4 days with 15lbs of ice). I put a single soda in the dry drawer, to test its temp (IR gun). After the first day about 1/2 the ice was left, and the can's temp was exactly 40 degrees. After the second day, maybe 10% of the ice was left and the can's temp was 40.9 degrees. It obviously would not make it another day, but I considered it to have passed my 2 day test. In a more fair test I would have cooled the cooler down before adding ice. I would have also used larger cubes. If I'd have filled the main compartment with a dozen or 2 cold cans, it would have better retained the cool. So I recognize the test was somewhat unfair. But I think the Ninja cooler did very well under the circumstances.
The inside of the cooler is black, which I think makes it harder to see into it (and harder to tell if it's clean). On the left side there is an insulated valve to drain the cooler. The Ninja design works very well, the valve drains almost all the water from the main container very easily, better than most. The lid also has two holes you could use with long locks, or you could wire ties around the handles to prevent it from being opened (no locking option on the drawer). Campers often want coolers that can be locked (bears often look for coolers that can't be locked). Based on my testing the drawer did a good job, with a fuller cooler and fuller drawer it would probably even do better. I have to say I really like the appearance of the Ninja Frost vault. Weighing in at 20 lbs empty, I kind of wish it had wheels and a handle (although there are times that I don't want wheels no matter what). But for vacations, moving it across a parking lot wheels would be most handy. The big single latch on the top works very easily, much better than other high end coolers latching mechanisms. Except for the interior color I really like this cooler's design and functionality.

Remarkable
on November 6, 2024
Posted by: 3Tcubed
I've had a projector in my family room since the '90s.  It's a fairly large room (24'x 14') set up for my home theater(s) (with a 7.2 surround sound setup).  My last 2 projectors were Epson's. My current projector is an Epson 8350. I've been planning to upgrade this projector once a true native 4K laser projector was available (for a reasonable price).  I've been following/auditioning laser projectors for about 5 years.  I auditioned the EF12 about 2 years ago. The zoom limitations really prevented me from using it in my family room.  The new Epson EF21 now supports the Google TV OS which provides full access to the full Google Play store (including Netflix, Disney+, YouTube TV and Fandango), all missing from most Android based offerings.  The EF21 has a greatly enhanced setup feature that Epson calls EpiqSense technology.  This functionality is almost magic.  The EF21 weighs 5lbs and is only 7.5"w x 7.5"d x 4.5"h.  The Google TV interface is excellent, I'd not used it for years.  Epson's implementation is superb, especially if you use multiple streaming services.  It takes time to set each up, but once done, it is so simple to find and use any of them.  The EF21 also supports HDR10 and HLG using a 3-chip LCD laser projection system.
Getting the projector unboxed and set up was straight forward.  Plug it in, point it at a wall or screen, turn it on and within about 2 seconds it displays a Google TV logo that it autofocus on, then it determines screen size and then auto adjusts for keystone changes and refocus'. Within 6s a bright Google TV menu is displayed.  I then set up the WiFi connection (the projector also has an Ethernet port which I won't use unless high speed WiFi has issues. I then checked for a firmware update (which existed, it was over 1GB) that took about 20m to install.  
I found that if you turn it on/off and don't move it, it restarts within 2-3s; if it detects that its not positioned as it was previously (or its power is lost) it goes throught its auto set-up.  The first time I did this I walked up to the screen amazed at the accuracy.  I could see the pixel separation of the 1920x1080 HD output but it was so crisp and clear.  I turned the projector off, moved it to the left about 3' and turned it back on.  The projector auto adjusted for the change and made keystone corrections that were nearly perfect. I repeated moving it further off center, now about 6' off center.  I didn't expect it to be able to correct this much.  And I was right, it had a smaller screen image with a somewhat trapezoidal shape, but it was sharp.  I went into the manual setup menu, and had the projector determine screen size.  I then manually adjusted the keystone.  The focus was a tad soft but a really decent picture, that from 15' away looked exceptional.  The projector will perform the best when it's about the same distance from the screen as the screen width, but with its auto adjust for screen size, it's perfectly happy with a 16:9, 16:10 or even a 4:3 screen.  The adjustments it makes to deal with screen size causes the razor clear sharpness to be slightly compromised, but barely noticeable.  My screen has 1.3 gain, which actually makes the whites from the projector a little hot.  From the remote I could easily turn down the brightness 30% and found the black/white contrast was greatly improved. I then hooked the projector up to my home theater via a 25' HDMI 2.1 HDR certified cable.  I played a 'setup' Bluray to verify the screen setup (that I've always used to set up a new projector).  The HD focus was spot on, the contrast still needed to be adjusted, a brightness set to 60% was spot on.  I could not quite get the blacker than black to display perfectly.
I did a comparison between my Epson 8350 (with a new bulb) and the EF21 with the same source (different projector positions) projected to nearly identical sizes on the screen.  The EF21's 1000 lumens (10' from screen) was brighter than the Epson 8350's 2000 lumens (19' from screen). The whites were a brighter white and the greens were greener.  The reds and blues were pretty comparable. The gray scales both showed 64 discernible changes but the EF21's were somewhat lighter.  The EF21 from the shorter distance had a sharper picture, with each pixel more clearly separated.  The 8350's pixels with the longer throw distance, blended together more, the pixels were harder to visually separate.  Seated from 16' text was clearly sharper with the EF21.  The 8350's text had a bit of rainbow in their white text.  When watching a football game the EF21 seemed faster.  The playing field on the 8350 looked more worn.  The brighter green's on the EF21 made the grass look more like artificial turf.  But when moving from one to the other, both looked appropriate, both looked real, they were both great HD pictures.  I then put in a Bluray of "The Batman" in 4K Ultra HD.  It's one of the darkest filmed movies I could recall.  Here the EF21 was the clear winner, even the darkest shadowy scenes popped more.  It could be that the projector supports HDR10, which didn't exist when the 8350 was created.  The EF21 made it much easier to watch this dark movie. Switching back and forth, the 8350 just did not output the same range of colors.   I also watched Top Gun: Maverick 2.  I turned down my home theater to see how the audio from the EF21 was.  It was surprisingly well balanced.  No real deep bass, but the voices were clear and reasonably loud (with the projectors built in 5w  speakers).  There was decent stereo separation. Probably adequate for a small meeting room or bedroom.  Not that I'd trade my 7.2 surround sound for the projector sound.  It was just adequate.  A decent sound bar would be preferable.
The real star of the EF21 is its smart TV functionality (Google TV).  It is exceptionally easy to use, the extensibility that is offered via Google Play is off the chart.  I have an older Sony TV as well as a fairly new Hisense both with Google TV.  Neither offers as much functionality as the version of Google TV in the Epson EF21.  This is what we were promised when Smart TV first came about.  The menu switching speed is outstanding, the organization of the menus is largely up to the user (easily changeable).  I was able to add dozens of streaming services that I access regularly.  I added a number of services that my wife also subscribes to.  Using different accounts for different services was straightforward.  
I'm still looking for a reasonably priced, native 4K projector.  I was not sure that the EF21 would be as big of a step up from my Epson 8350 as I found it to be.  The 8350 consumes 272 watts of power when in normal use (and it produces some noticeable heat). The EF21 consumes 80-106 watts and it's nearly totally quiet (19/23 dB).  I can hear my 8350's fan when it is on.  I can't hear the EF21 when it's on.  The 8350's contrast ratio was 50,000:1, the EF21 is 5,000,000:1 (what a difference 14 years makes).  And the EF21's brightness might be quoted at 1000 lumens, but it seems much brighter.  It could just be an honest number and not an overstated spec, or it could be measured differently today.   But for me not needing to replace the bulb every 2000 to 4000 hours is the biggest deal.  The laser LED's are quoted as having a 20,000 hour life.  I've had 8350 bulbs which lasted less than a year and up to 2 years.  20,000 hours would allow me to use the projector 4 hours a day for 13.6 years.  It supports WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (a, b, g, n, ac) with Bluetooth® 5.1 (I do wish it had BT 5.4, which has lower latency). I did test outputting sound through my theater's BT input and it worked very well, but the audio sent via the eARC was far superior. I could see using the projector outdoors with a decent BT speaker(s) providing excellent sound to a larger environment.
The Google Smart TV is superb. The EpiqSense functionality/flexibility is remarkable and very easy to use.  The brightness is exceptional.  I'm extremely impressed by every aspect of this projector.

Will this product work for a detached garage about 70 feet away going through multiple walls(3)?

It might depend on the construction of the walls, if frame, probably. I tested at 50' and got good signal once the receiver was mounted high enough and I adjected the antenna.
I work with RF all the time, and know your mileage will will vary based on construction. I'd give it a try, you can always return if it does not work.
