Yet another High-End earbud
on September 7, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
I was going a write detail review on this device but changed my mind since there are many true audio-files who can elaborate proficiently better than I it seems. They invest much more work to this task instead of following the instructions, or is it the other way around? If find this review confusing, please let me know in the comments if I need to do a better job explaining.
Now enough of that rant & off to the review: It's Bose so expect superior sound quality with high-end features, you will not be making an error purchasing these earbuds. Only gripe I have is with the app but won’t go into detail. (They are going to have to rely on somebody else for that)

Good Air Fryer
on September 6, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
Creating healthier meals quickly is the main appeal of an air fryer along with cooking at a fraction of the calories and fat of traditional cooking methods, like deep frying with a ton of oil. The large size & easy operation replaces the duties of my microwave with the user-friendly digital touch screen display and Integrated 60-minutes auto shutoff timer that notifies you to turn the food with audible tone.
The Sensio 8.0 Air Fryer dual basket design (with divider) can cook your main dish & side at the same time. Again, it gets high marks for ease of use, thanks to its easy to use and read buttons, good owner’s manual. The 8.0 QT capacity basket slides in and out easily with both tray and basket are dishwasher safe and easy to clean when I select air fry all other presets will turn off while air fry is lighted. Select time and temperature then start button and that’s it. The device is very quiet when cooking and outer shell stays cool except for the back exhaust fan area. Out of the presets, I tried air fry, bake and french fry options, on air fry and french fry It produced crispy on even frozen fries, homemade fries and fish that were moist on the inside. On bake I cooked a sweet potato wrap in aluminum foil that came out perfect. Overall, an excellent product that’s a better alternative than using an oven & prepares cooks quickly with easy clean up.

This wired gaming keyboard has very responsive high-key performance suited for both heavy gaming and productive tasks. The compact white design and comfy, cloud-shaped keyboard palm rest. With a practical layout and adjustable height, this is an ideal compact mechanical keyboard for gaming that gives you long-term gaming bliss.

Negatives: I had initial issues with Logitech G HUB software commuting with the keyboard, reinstalling the software solved this problem.
Very satisfying typing on this keyboard, thanks tactile and audible feedback. The cloud-shaped palm rest is very comfortable with just the right amount of height and cushion to support your wrists while you’re typing on the G713. Hardcore gamers will appreciate the ultra-responsive, USB-wired play, and full media controls at your fingertips, also it has a game mode.

Portable Powerhouse
on September 1, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
It is really hard to believe that such small & lightweight stick vacuum would have as much suction power as my old school upright vacuum, but it does. The Tineco PURE ONE X Dual Smart is an advance cordless device that makes vacuuming less of hassle. Tineco uses a technology called ILoop that has a built-in dirt sensor allows it to change its suction power level in real time on various types of debris, and it also comes with a relatively wide assortment of attachments. It cleans pet hair without a problem on all kinds of surfaces. Environmentally friendly with allergen-trapping HEPA filter. I tested it on bare floors & carpets with outstanding results with being impressed with on suction performance.
Negatives Paper: Instructions could be better.
Initial impression & setup: The vacuum has a sleek modern design made mostly of sturdier plastic that feels like quality device in the hands. The included attachments are quite solid as well, with the vacuum itself is easy to disassemble for cleaning maintenance. Setup was simple only requiring that you plug in its charging station, but instructions did state what some of the attachments were actually used for.
Using it floors & carpet: The first thing I used it was on my outside patio that still had smoke residue from last year’s many forest fires. I figured this would be a good test since my last cordless vacuum could not handle that level of debris & no longer worked afterwards. The Tineco automatically detected the heavier smoke particles with increased suction that handled sucking up it up with no problem. (pictured) Next the carpet was done which was effective & effortless due the cordless form factor 2.8 pounds weight.
This vacuum offers Powerful Performance, Low Noise & Smart App Integration with the Tineco app for a complete and intelligent cleaning experience, featuring real-time performance monito high tech solution ring, cleaning reports, maintenance reminders, tech support, troubleshooting, and more. A good high tech solution choice that regular vacuums are subpar when compared to its performance & features.

Good work from home choice
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
The Brother - MFC-J1010DW has decent print quality & can fax, quickly print, scan, and copy. At this price point it is nice to see that it can manage 20-sheet ADF for faster bulk scanning & has two-sided copying, again not normally seen as an option on budget printers.
Negatives: If you want to easily update the firmware via Brothers Mobile Connect you must create an account. As an alternative, you can manually update the firmware from printer using the password provided on the back of machine.
Setup is simple with paper instructions & following prompts on LCD screen.
Print quality wise black text and mono photocopies are fine with photos good enough for occasional use, but in this demographic folks cares more about color prints and copies on plain paper.
With useful features and reliable performance, not a bad choice for home office, especially if you need fax. You are getting a lot of bang for buck here with Brother, a company that has a reliable reputation in the corporate business world.

A must have in today's times
on August 6, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
I am a victim of past identity theft which is quite of an ordeal to resolve, trust me you do not want to go through this. With an onslaught of major data breaches (Equifax, T-Mobile) the question is not will I ever experience identity theft? It is when since millions of personal data is already in computer data bases run buy criminals. LifeLock’s identity theft monitoring, alert and recovery services aim to detect problems and help you bounce back if it occurs. This service gives you a heads up if your info is circulating online but does not prevent identity theft itself, nor does any other identity protection service.
Why use this when there are free alternatives? 1. The frees services such credit monitoring offer by Credit Karma or a service provided by your credit card will report changes in your credit only so this is after identity theft has happened. With Lifelock you get detailed info on what was leaked and what company is responsive for the leak. This gives time to take preventive action for what was specifically leaked before identity theft occurs.
2. Lifelock identity theft services offers insurance if you experience while subscribed: If you have money stolen due to identity theft, LifeLock will reimburse you dollar for dollar-up to $25,000 & If you become a victim of identity theft while a LifeLock member, we will provide the necessary lawyers and experts if needed to help resolve your case, up to $1 million.
Why buy this over other competitors? 1. With the average price of $15-20 a month ($180+ a year) for other identity theft services makes this a better deal.
2. This service gave far more details and informed me of other leaks of my personal info of which I was not aware. Other services I currently have did not report this.
Why buy this over other competitors? Yes, you just need basic computer knowledge to set up an account with the user interface being straight forward.

Throttling!
on July 25, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
I exchanged the original Dell XPS Plus for a replacement due to heavy throttling causing video to stutter & Windows 11 slowing down to a crawl on even lite tasks like watching a 1080p YouTube video. The replacement seemed a lot better at first since it ran much cooler while setting up & updating drivers than the original, I received, but on the replacement watching YouTube & multitasking (in this case downloading a file in another browser tab) it still is throttling just not as bad as the 1st one.
Note: This is an unofficial solution I found in Reddit support while investigating the issue online someone suggested to disable the Turbo feature on CPU as a workaround. This actually seems to work so far but cannot guarantee it will work for all & only see this as a temporary solution since the majority of folks will not attempt this & they should not be expected to.
Ratings with 5 being the highest
Quality Control: 2 out 5 Received 2nd replacement with same throttling
Display: 5 out of 5 Just has incredible contrast & accurate colors on the OLED display
Keyboard: 5 out of 5 Key layout is normal with very wide keys, Key travel is decent
Trackpad 4 out 5 The premium glass trackpad is precise but experienced issue with dragging stuff
Speakers: 5 out 5 Sound gets surprising loud on such this laptop
Performance: Single Task 5 out of 5, multitasking 3 out of 5 When its working it’s excellent
Build Quality: 5 out of 5 Has little flex on body with well-built materials
Battery Life 4 out of 5 Getting over 7 hours with display brightness set to 80% & all power settings on default
Minor negative: Keyboard is hard to see in a brightly lighted room with blacklight on
Temporary fix for throttling issue: control panel: hardware & sound -> power options -> change plan settings -> change advanced power settings -> processor power management -> maximum processor state: 99%.
At its current state I cannot recommend the Dell XPS Plus 13 until the throttling is addressed. This is a such a shame because was loving this laptop before encountering throttling on both units & would have rated it 5 stars, without that issue it’s almost perfect.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Subscription Service Required!!!
on July 20, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
This Wi-Fi camera is a budget friendly solution that offers sharp HD video & is very easy to install, but its best features are behind a pay wall. You must sign up for a monthly subscription to unlock person detection features, play back locally stored video via the app, & many two-way talk capabilities since many other brands offer the majority of these features for free so just don’t see buying this over the others offered.
Negatives: 1. If you are on the free plan, you will get a nag screen to update to a pay plan ever time. (very annoying)
2. The best features require a subscription which can get pricey.
I use the Kangaroo camera in the garage, it is a small & sits atop a hinged base that lets you tilt and swivel the camera. You can use the magnetic base to secure or mount it on a wall or ceiling with the included hardware and mounting plate. Setup & connecting to Wi-Fi was easy via the App.
The camera has a microphone, and a single infrared LED. The camera records 1080p video at 25fps with decent quality & 130-degree field of view, has color night vision. A status indicator glows solid green when everything is working properly, & flashes green when the camera is offline or when it's performing an update. Bottom of the camera has a mini-USB power port and a microSD card slot for storing recordings locally. (you have to pay just to view your locally recorded videos on microSD card)
Plan prices start at $1.99 per month or $23.88 per year which covers motion detection with 30 days of video history, event video recordings, motion detection zones. The two-way talk feature is also only available with pay subscription. Theft protection insurance is included with pay plans. The other pay plan costs $8.95 per month or $99 per year and includes everything from the Cam Protect plan, but you can have up to three cameras. You also get professional monitoring & theft or damage protection for up to $1,000. Finally, there is a basic free plan that I'm using which works well with just checking the status of my car but offers alarm feature like motion detection or video recording.
The camera seems well built & reliable since no issues with using it for a week, but some basic options like motion detection & local recording viewing via app should just be included free like others.

Great headset that does not break the bank
on July 15, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
The Alienware 310H gives you decent sound & are affordable. It has a premium build along with a comfortable fit that allows you to play games for hours. The headset sound offers good bass with decent imaging & dynamic sound & excellent microphone, to converse with teammates on Discord/Chat.
Negatives: No noise cancellation feature on mic.
The stylish design headset is all-black and has a matte texture with an overall very modern look. The Alienware logo is embellished on the back on the headband extenders on either side and has a glossy finish. Earcups are made from memory foam for comfort & these materials optimize cooling & comfort while isolating outside sounds. I found them breathable, comfortable to wear. Ear cups are well-padded & not too tight on the ears.
The wired headset which comes with a 3.5mm audio cable that has a n-line remote control with volume control. There’s also a microphone mute switch on the back. You also get an additional Y-splitter cable & headset is cross-platform compatibility: PCs, laptops, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. I tried it with my PC & Steam Deck device with the great sound & communication while playing online games. The voice relayed clearly and it didn’t sound distorted. However, external sounds are picked up by the microphone.
These are a decent option if you're in the market for a wired mid-range minimalist gaming headset.

Main complaint is that the sales rep said this laptop, purchased as an open box item, would receive the Windows 10 upgrade. On turning it on & trying to upgrade, I found out that the laptop, in fact, cannot receive the Win10 upgrade. Always disappointing when a sales rep overpromises and under delivers!! Other than that, it seems to be a nice laptop but I won't keep it because Windows 8 drives me crazy!

2 out of 5A nice tablet for books. That's really it.
By MK555
Apps run okay but the real problem is streaming and internet browsing. I'm telling you, generic tablets are faster... I thought it was my internet at first but all my other devices work phenomenally fast. I first noticed this after I started using it but I thought I would give it a shot. I've decided to return this and exchange for another $50 tablet tomorrow. This is because I couldn't even watch a simple youtube video today.
Here's what I did like. It's name brand. The games are nice and mostly ad free. It uses Android 5.0 but uses their own app store. Reading books is great. Library app is kinda slow but still works.
Perfect cheap tablet for kids age 6 to 13 maybe...

I have not had a problem with streaming and run Netflix, Hbo Now, Youtube and videos on Facebook (mainly youtube) just fine. Generic tablets are not faster than this device, starting to think that some of the people who are doing these bad reviews did not even purchase the device or have some other agenda like say it's just for kids which is totally bogus..

By TheRaymo1234
from Franklin, Ma.
Tested this computer at the store and when you move the screen you can see the panel flex in the lower corner about an inch above the hinge on the edge of the screen on each side. This effect happens when just moving the screen back and forth even gently. Not sure how long the screen will last like that otherwise seemed pretty awesome for what it is. Too Bad I would love to have gotten two for my kids.

Lenovo's cheaply made
December 14, 2015
I have a Lenono G50-45 and can confirm the build quality is flimsy at least on their entry level laptops, don't even take it anywhere for two reasons: 1st I think it will break easily, 2nd the battery life is not good, even bought a Asus Chromebook because of these issues. Other issues were the wifi taking 6-8 mins to reconnect after sleep mode, cursor freezing (seem to went away after updating to Win 10) but everything else was fine with it but would much rather have a similar spec Asus that been on sale a couple times this year for $399 (not at Best Buy unfortunately )

Bought this tv on black Friday and purchased the 5 year warranty. After a couple days it started to have a pink cloud affect on the screen. Tonight it just shut off and had no picture but sound. Sat on hold with geek squad 2 seperate times. First time I was hung up on second time I was told to take it back in. When I purchased the warranty I was told with the size of tv they would come out to my house to repair or replace it. So I called the store and sat on hold another 20 min. When I finally talked to someone they said it's not there problem after it leaves the store and I would have to do whatever the geek squad tells me to do. Disappointed in lg and even more disgusted with best buy. Great customer service until you walk out the door than who cares

Why didn't you just take it back?
I exchange stuff at BB without any issues and expecting someone to come to your house is a bit odd????

I bought this phone to see if it would work on a free government plan (Safelink) and did not want to pay a lot for premium phone but did want some premium features. The phone works perfectly on Safelink (I am extremely happy about not paying a cell bill anymore) plus does everything a $400 phone does. This phone outperforms my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime in every way and for $130 (on sale plus I had Best Buy points) . Great build quality, fast processor, plenty of storage and ram. Picture quality is good to me, since I'm use to entry level phones but does not compare to other premium phones.

There is an issue with the battery draining while phone is idle (screen off) the phone still last a long even with that but to fix I tried an app called Battery Doctor that seems to work.

4 out of 5Solid Construction, Excellent Display
By LJG500
Solid, above average aluminum construction and a very good, 1080p IPS display. Performance is good, but not exceptional with the Braswel N3160 CPU, however, 4GB of ram and 32 gb of flash memory are above average for a consumer grade Chrome laptop. Lack of SD card reader is puzzling- but having two USB 3 ports is helpful, for example, when connecting to an external hard drive. Be advised that some Chrome extensions can hamper performance, and if ad blocking is use, I would recommend Ublock Origin versus Adblock, as the later significantly decreases performance (Chrome Web Store). Finally, this laptop should run Android apps sometime in 2016/2017.

You are correct Adblock decreased performance so I installed Fair Adblock App which shows no slow down.

2 out of 5nice phone, but it crashed in 3 weeks
By Sparta
Was happy with the new purchase, until during week 3 the screen showed static and went blank. Had to reboot. Brand new phones should not crash. Bestbuy GeekSquad says as long as it rebooted, they won't do anything about it.

Experience absolute audio immersion with the A50 Wireless + Base Station.
From past reviews on the A50s there was a charging station to headset connection issue. In this new A50 headset has that been fixed? Does the mic take out background noise up to how many DBs? Does the RF automatically select the best frequency?
Safeguard your home with this Arlo security camera system. Its 4K resolution provides maximum clarity so you don't miss a single detail, and a siren is integrated so you can fend off intruders either remotely or while at home. This Arlo security camera system is weather-resistant, so it's functional rain or shine.
Do the Ultra cameras have improved motion detection compared to the Pro 2? I currently get false alerts when the Pro 2 detects shadows from tree limbs. I would like to upgrade only if the Ultra has improved motion detection.
Can't answer your question regarding comparison, but I had the same issue with the Ultra regarding shadows/tree and resolved it by lowering motion sensitivity to 65% and limit the motion detection area.

Do Amazon Fires purchased through Best Buy contain the loaded Amazon screensaver you have to PAY to remove?
Yes it has a ad on lock screen.
Does not bother me at all in fact barely notice it once I unlock the screen, I would not pay to get rid of it since its only in screensaver mode but that's me.
