The Ranger Plus is an unprecedented option. Featuring a powerful 500W motor, this hoverboard can reach speeds of up to 9 mph and support a weight of 264 pounds, making it the perfect board. Choose from a variety of colors and allow the integrated LED lighting system to light the way. It comes with two nice-sized 6.5” wheels, which will allow you to ride on numerous surfaces comfortably.

Great Scooter for Everyone!
on January 5, 2022
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
Okay, well my mom wouldn’t try it but her excuse was based on principle of looking silly if she bobbled a little. We all bobble a little to get warmed up. It’s sort of funny.
After you find the sweet spot on balancing yourself the scooter is easy to manage. In fact the next fun component is adding music while you cruise around the neighborhood.
The speaker isn’t as crisp as I thought it would be. I’ve had a Hover Scooter before and my previous scooter had an awesome speaker.
As for storage and charging I bet you’ll love this for young people. There are mainly two pieces to keep track of and they are the scooter and charging cable. Storing it is easy since it’s compact unlike normal scooter with handle bars and charging it is fast and easy. It will light up green when it’s ready to go.
The holidays were fun to show my family how to ride it. With spring around the corner I can’t wait to take it to the beach and ride around sidewalks in the sun!

Spreading Wifi Beyond My Expectations & I love It!
on December 30, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
Fast internet once you’ve set up the Winegard Extender.
Physical setup was done in a jiffy, and there aren’t that many pieces to put together. I ideally wanted on my fence by a main street but you are bound to an area with a power source. If only this was rechargeable. You’ll also want to make sure that the power source protects your power box from the elements.
Technical setup took longer than expected and was not as simple as plug and play. I had to manually reset the device three times before it was remotely close to being ready. It took a good 2-3 hours of headaches to get it going. Once it was setup I took my pup on a walk and it’s awesome how much distance we get with our wifi!
I truly get a lot of distance for my wifi and can’t wait to move this to our beach home where we go for walks and sit on the dock to fish. We always talk about how the wifi drops and now we’ll have a permanent solution to getting the internet to reach out on to the bay while we cook or fish!
This is perfect for a home with a lot of square footage and equally ideal for: ranches, beach homes, large properties, lake houses, condos, and more! With a family like mine that has 50+ wifi devices between individuals and smart home items I think this will solve spreading out our wifi range immensely! Totally scored with the Winegard Extender!

Purifies Quietly & Effectively!
on December 13, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I suffer from all sorts of allergies and I found out two years ago I’m basically allergic to all sorts of trees and plants!
I’ve had my Insignia Purifier for about a week and a half and I have found I wake up with less issues and stinging eyes than I used to!
This doesn’t mean I/you should stop taking allergy meds! However, the Purifier has really given me more relief at night. My other half also says my snoring has subsided. So this benefits you and your family.
I have mine in my master bedroom because its where I spend my time sleeping and winding down for the evening.
There are no smells or artificial scents that I thought might come from a machine like this.
Sound is amazing, it is quiet as can be and in the time I’ve had it the device hasn’t needed to go into overdrive.
Also Insignia did really well to include a night mode where the machine functions but the lights don’t need to be on. I’m a light sleeper and blue lights bother me so I love this. I’ve had fancier fans and the most agitating thing is when there is a switch to turn off lights. If you’re like me you’ll love this as well.
Overall, an amazing addition to my house. It’s also really short and sits on my carpet, well balanced, and light to carry.
Spring is around the corner so get this in your house now.

Sidekick For Lonely Drives
on December 6, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
This is the first time I’ve seen a dash cam paired with a rear view camera as well!
I’m excited because one of our family cars does not have a back up camera or anything to help with the rear view.
It doesn’t hurt that images/video is in 4K which is awesome. I can’t even get one of my gaming systems in 4K so this seems to be light years ahead!
I’m not sure we’ll use the Drive Smarter App for traffic since we use other maps for guidance but we can be easily persuaded it just depends on how well it continues to work.
We do love that it is very iPhone friendly, the system came with an SD card, and it has sensors that know when the car is parked or in motion.
Honestly, if I had a teenager learning to drive this would be a good tool to use to ensure that they are using their sound judgement and being cautious during practice or to go over best practices for safe driving.
I drive home to South Texas quite a bit and those drives easily total 5+ hours so this will be helpful ti capture some really great scenic routes as well.
Great product, I only wish the wiring wasn’t so clunky and dated. We had issues with what an eye sore the wires and adapters looked like.

Foodies, Normal People, New Cooks… All Are Welcome
on December 2, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
Wow! I've been a fan of Ninja products for a while now, I've got their awesome blender, an oven that can air fry but this griddle/grill is going to really change our cooking habits for the good!
The first night we went simple and tried the grill. Grilling anything indoors is a risk of getting smoke in the house. It was great and no mess at all. Clean up took a matter of minutes and I was able to clean up as I went. So, the chicken was tender, there were no situations where the chicken stuck to the grill, and my favorite part was the ability to pull the lid down while it cooked and kept the juices in.
During the weekend we were craving cinnamon roll pancakes and thought they were going to be messy and fall apart. Again, the Foodi exceeded our expectations. They were as delicious as the ones we'd had at a small cafe that we've been dreaming about. We tried them on a normal house pan and the pancake just fell apart.
Desserts are a tough feat and the fact that we were able to cook them on the griddle was amazing. In the last few years I've decided to use my stove less to avoid making the house so hot. The Ninja Foodi accomplishes this goal for me and it's easy to store.
The only down fall is that it is a little bulkier than I would like but as you can see it is a great conversation starter on our counter. This weekend we're trying steaks and grilled veggies (I can't wait)!

Old Dog and Great New Tricks!
on November 29, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
My uncle has had these huge amazing speakers that remember loving growing up and technology really made it hard to keep the stereo up to date. This past Thanksgiving I hooked up the Soundform Adapter and magically brought the speakers back to life. My uncle then commandeered my Bluetooth and spent all the evening playing country music on my phone.
If you’re wondering how setup is there are two wires you use and then choose your input/output.
I was actually astonished with how easy setup was and how great the app was to setup as well.
I’ve been a Belkin fan for life and actually had a auxiliary adapter in college that turned my car into a Bluetooth enabled car when cars were starting to get Bluetooth!
All that is to say Belkin really stays ahead of the game and I’m glad this came in handy during our recent family gathering!

Clutter Free and Easy to Use!
on November 22, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I'm absolutely stoked about the Razer Dock since I got my gaming laptop earlier this year and wires simply drive me crazy! 8 ports and a memory card slot are blowing my mind. I am envisioning all these options on how to highlight the dock's color RGB changing features.
Sleek really does describe it and depending on the peripherals you choose to connect you have so many options and dynamic ways of organizing your wires. I was just complaining about every stinking wire from speakers, remote, mouse, keyboard, microphone, and light. It stresses me out to have clutter while I am trying to game. The dock has really put my mind at ease because I can have the dock on my desk top near me or let it rest neatly behind the desk and hidden away.
Set up was really easy and if you're like me you'll download the software that lets you truly customize the lighting features and more! I love it and my on downside to this is that the frames did take a hit and it is a small compromise.

Innovative Kit Setting You Up for Local Channels
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I'll kick off my thoughts with it is an okay antenna and minus the tools to screw into your structured the box comes with everything you need. Unfortunately this was a miss for me and I was really loving the idea of having access to more channels in my area. The result was opposite and it can be a little tricky to calibrate the antenna to maximize the channels that are available. I also wasn't fully prepared to have to mount it outside or in the attic so having to run the coax cable to my master bedroom proved to be the biggest let down. Whereas my current over the air antenna mounts is discrete and did not need much of installation.
The top three advantages to this antenna is the motorized fuction to face the antenna head in different directions, the ease of set up (minus running the coax cable to your tv), and it's actual look is not an eye sore.
For me the disadvantages that you should know are based on your home set up. The antenna will need to be connected to your box which is connected to your tv. The actual red-light and box are not that appealing to the eye and you'll see why in my photo.
I ultimately had to run the coax cable through my window in an effort to not drill holes to my home's wall, until I can find the right solution I think I'll keep this in my guest room. I truly wish this was more of a wifi antenna that sent the channels from the antenna to the box. A side note, the quality and picture of the channels coming through were crisp and good. I was able to definitely watch High Definition local channels with ease.

The indoor Nest Cam knows the difference between a person, pet, and vehicle, and alerts you about the things that matter to you, instead of the things that don't. 24/7 live view shows you what’s happening from anywhere.* With 3 hours of free event video history, you can go back and see what you missed. And it comes in different colors to fit your style. The indoor Nest Camera requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.

A Little Sculptured Camera Nestled at Home
on October 18, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
My Google Nest Camera is really like a mini Kaws sculpture that also depicts what's going on in my house, especially by my French Bulldog. I'll also mention that unlike me, you should opt for one of the fun attractive colors.
On the topic of design I am also pleased with the base because it's nicely weighted. I've had other wired cameras where the plastic wire is so thick that even if I set an angle it slowly moves the camera from where I pointed it unless it's stuck to a sticker to keep it stationary.
Setup was simple like most Google featured devices, the picture resolution is only 1080p when most camera systems are rolling out 2k and 4k so that wasn't fun for me, and then there are the smart alerts which don't feel that unique. The notifications you get are like most out there so I was waiting for the magical moment.
The few downsides I immediately noticed was the video event history is only stored for a few hours (crazy when most store at least 48 hrs) where other systems now have unlimited history (unless you pay a subscription fee), the Google app doesn't highlight the camera so it washes out in the background in the Google Home app. I truly wish Nest would have emphasized their presence on the app. So if there's an emergency I'll have to scroll through the Google Home app to get to my camera. Not a big deal because there shouldn't be daily emergencies but I got this camera to watch my pup and he's on my mind a lot so I like to log in and see him.
Overall, a very attractive camera that will subtly sit in your home and double as a mini nearly 3 inch tall piece of art!

Dell Upgraded Me
on October 9, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I’m really enjoying my phantom grey laptop. It’s an update for Dell since it doesn’t look like a work laptop! I love the speckle design, it feels like a throwback which I really love.
Hardware is pretty good, I had to adjust the settings so that the frames looked good. At first when I played with the default settings the screen was so pixelated I thought I was in trouble.
The “G” feature that allows you to turn on Alienwares’ gaming center is also great.
I’ve had another gaming laptop and what Dell did better was to add fans that cool the laptop like a desktop. It makes a huge difference!
This is a great starter laptop for the person who wants to game on the go. Oh and I love that I have an Ethernet port to get quicker speed and not have to rely on wifi!
