Premium Tech
on July 11, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
This item is recommended for folks who use integrated Alexia technology for their household because controlling your microwave with voice commands are the draw here. Other than the fancy tech features, it is a good microwave overall with fast even cooking & premium options that you would expect from this price point. Note: the 1st microwave I received was defective & got it replaced with a fully working one.
Negative: Instructions could be better especially concerning the Sensor Cooking feature. There is slight learning curve when using manual cooking with the knob, but I did get used to it.
Setting up Alexa for 1st time is quite easy by scanning QR code with app then adding it to Alexa. I had no issues adding the microwave to 2 smart devices that use Alexa. Since I use Alexa with other products & feel using voice commands is way more convenient than manually hitting buttons.
I cooked a frozen burrito with command “Alexa cook frozen burrito” which came out perfectly along with many other frozen entrees from Trader Joes. You can traditionally cook by just hitting the microwave button & set time/weight. Cooking can also be done by selecting a preset or Sensor Cooking. (Still a little fuzzy on how to use this?) This microwave is must faster in the cooking dept than my prior one, with dishes coming out evenly cook “Inverter Tech” especially when you defrost meat.

Premium Printing Experience
on June 21, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
I do plenty of printing at my work from home office & need high quality legal document prints which the Maxify GX6021 printer provides. It is very easy to set up, comes with a large amount of ink: 6,000 Black / 14,000 Color pages per full ink bottle & offers outstanding print quality for photos and documents with fast print time. This printer is an excellent choice for the work at home/small business folks.
Negatives: No faxing capability (not a deal breaker for me since I rarely use this) The colored ink covers that you pull up to replace ink are on the flimsy side.
Setup was a better experience than my prior printers you have a choice to follow paper instructions or touch-screen display. Both are easy to follow & software automatically updates drivers & connect to your WIFI network, I ran into no issues.
The very capable & compact printer uses bottles of ink poured into tanks in the printer instead of cartridges, this approach gives you a cost per page of less than 2 cents for printing in either black or color. A far greater long-term savings than with cartridges.
Overall build quality of device is good except for the previous mentioned ink covers over the refill tanks. Bottomline this is great compact printer for a small office that reliably turns out nice-looking prints.

Easy to setup with great sound
on June 3, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
The Polk Audio Signa S4 is perfect for folks who primary watch everyday TV and movies but want the latest 3D spatial sound experience (Dolby Atmos) at an entry level price point, in which this soundbar provides an excellent value. With it being easy to set-up, you start enjoying the higher end sound of Atmos on movies, shows, and music. The Signa S4 a satisfying and cost-effective solution that successfully brings spatial audio to a broader audience.
Negatives: No Wi-Fi connectivity or a built-in voice assistant.
I set up the soundbar via HDMI cable with eARC on a TCL TV, just turning on the soundbar, subwoofer instantly connected everything effortlessly. By default, the TCL used dynamite sound mode instead of standard mode which I ended up liking the most anyways after trying the other modes. First thing I tried was the Eternals movie that is Imax Enhance with Dolby Atmos and just wow it sounded incredible. It was significantly better than prior soundbar or internal speakers, you will hear some audio behind you and sound spread out farther to the sides. The dialogue spoken is clear and accurate & is adjustable with dialogue enhancement feature. Bass is punchy and defined with extra boom & brightness in the treble.
The remote has direct access buttons for the inputs, TV, Aux, or Bluetooth, mute button, volume, and a bass control. Dedicated buttons allow selection of the Movie, Night, or Music modes, along with three levels of Voice Adjust, which is Polk's dialogue feature.
The Signa S4 performs well and will be a massive upgrade for most who would like a higher sound experience without spending a lot of money for that level.

Nice Display
on June 2, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
The TUF Gaming VG247QR1A monitor offers HDR, high contrast & brightness with a wide gamut color coverage. Fast-paced gaming is blur/screen tearing free with an 165Hz refresh rate & IPS screen has a 1ms response time, it has ELMB SYNC with VRR & AMD Free Sync Premium technologies. This monitor is decently built for a budget display, and it does not feel cheap like some of its competitors in its segment with performance that rivals some higher-end LCD’s.
Negatives: Limited tilt positions on stand. No USB-C port.
Monitor has an aggressive gaming design with an easy to clean & maintain matte chassis, display is bezel-free. The size & weight makes it ideal to take to a LAN party and more portable in general. The Asus VG247QR1A has a user-friendly control layout with a OSD joystick for easy access along with some hotkeys features that you normally see in higher-end monitors. You will have a good gaming experience on this monitor with good color & contrast, all game I tried look vibrant, sharp with no motion blur during intense action.
Overall, a great monitor If you are in the market for a monitor that's 1080p, IPS, 1ms, 2 types of Sync & 165hz.

Blocks out background noise!
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
These wireless headphones are comfortable during long sessions and are the perfect headset for your needs especially since they work well at home, then take to the office which is a seamless operation. It also can be paired with optional Voyager Office Base to connect as a traditional desk phone. Also great for desk share and hot deskers at Call Centers.
Negatives: Power button is small and hard to find while wearing headset.
I used the included BT700 USB dongle to connect to my desktop at home, it instantly connected right away and was fully functional out the box. After downloading the Poly windows program, it prompts me to update the dongle and headset separately, everything installed without a hitch. I also connected to my phone (Goggle Pixel 6) via Bluetooth (Android Poly app was not available at the time but is coming) which also connect quickly with no issues. At the office I have the headset connected via Bluetooth, the devices switched between devices and performs well throughout the day. Another option is that headphones can be used as a wired Headset with USB cable mode and is Teams/Zoom certified. There is an on-call indicator to let others know when you are on a call.
Sound quality is good with the noise canceling dual mic that eliminates background noise. Callers stated that they could me clearly and hear nothing going on in the background, at home I use to have turn off my TV during Zoom calls now I no longer need to do that. This is the same at work in the office where many co-workers are on the phone with clients.
The Plantronics Voyager battery last 3 days with a whopping 164 feet of range if you use the dongle wireless.
To sum it up: This device performs well and highly recommended to connects to calls from: PC, smartphone. Includes USB-A or USB-C connectivity with BT700 Adapter. 47hr listening time, 1.6hrs for a full chars. Includes an on-call indicator to let others know when you are on a call. Crystal-Clear audio for a better voice communication.

Gets Loud & Good sound but a few issues
on May 22, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
In general, these ear buds are perfect for the people with active lifestyles (joggers, bikers & workout heads) since they have a modern ergonomic design that make it easy to place in your ears that stay in your ears during intensive exercise. The Adidas FWD-02 SPORT are sweat-proof & water-resistant with an Awareness mode that lets you hear your outside surroundings while music is on by holding down on the ear bud touch control or enable via app. As a bike rider this is crucial regarding safety. There are however some better choices in this category.
The Bad: No -/+ volume control on device itself. Could get full 100% charge on both ear buds. (May be an issue with app not reporting batt percentage correctly) Touch controls options to skip track/play last track sometimes just does not work under certain conditions. Below average call quality with phone calls.
Setup was good but instructions should state that Bluetooth button is on the case & not on the device which you would quickly figure out anyways since there are no physical buttons on earbuds. Once ear buds were out of the case & Bluetooth button depressed, my Pixel automatically paired them with a prompt to download the Adidas App. The App seems finicky when connecting with ear buds at times & reporting information. (this is after updating App to latest the version) I suspect battery life readings not being correct majority of the time.
I actually prefer wingtip-style ear buds as they tend to stay in my ear better. Wingtips are removable, with 4 extra tips. They are comfortably in your ears for long durations. I get sweaty during workouts so having an IPX% water resistance is ideal. Buds feel light in the ears with a nice grippy finish on the outer surface and they look stylish.
As far as sound the 6mm drivers can produce powerful audio performance that out a strong bass, loud, and unmistakable sound The sound is nice and vibrate, but mid-range do suffer a bit at high volume speaking of wish, these things get plenty loud. Equalizer settings have preset profiles that you can customize also it has rock, pop, hip hop, electronic and vocal boost presets. Equalizer is fully adjustable to your taste in music & in my case A$ap Rocky, Red Hot Chili Peppers & Bruno Mars all sounded good while riding my bike or working out.
Battery Life closer to 4 hours than the advertised 6 but with a fully charged case, you will get an additional 19 hours.
A few fixes with App & touch controls would make this a 5 star product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Acually Works!

Posted by: Mrbell1970
from San Diego, Ca
Having your teeth whiten by the dentist is usually $800+ and finically not an option for most. The snow-white teeth wireless system, price tag here is higher than other types of toothpaste and kits on offer at most drugstores, but let us be frank though, any whitening system offered at a bargain-basement price might not work at all and be unsafe since they use harmful chemicals to whiten. Ultimately, you’ll want to be sure any product you put in your mouth is safe and the serum paste you use for this product is made from natural ingredients.
The Bad: The simple instructions included should have listed some important info such as the light unit on charging base needs to be facing a certain way to charge. (Power button flashing blue indicates that is it charging) In my case the power button must be facing away from me for it to charge. I feel that the Serum ingredient should have listed in instructions as well.
As a coffee/tea drinker for many years my teeth are yellow as a result I always wanted the pearly white teeth that you see on stars like Sterling K. Brown, but after trying other cheaper kits that did not work and not wanting the $$$ at a dentist kept my teeth yellow. After using the Snow Wireless System, it really works for one and two the paste you use ingredients are coconut oil, aloe vera, and peppermint with key ingredient of toothpaste is hydroxyapatite. Teeth are made naturally from hydroxyapatite which allows the ingredient to bind to enamel more easily, helping to protect the teeth. I used it for 7 days with the Maximum Serum paste for 30 minutes each time with really satisfactory results (picture) and a happy camper with the product.
Other Info: Can use it for 9-30 minutes each day for 21-30 days straight. If you have sensitivity, then take a break for 1-3 days, and continue. Wavelengths of your lights. Blue - 460 - 462 NM; Red - 620 - 625 NM. Red light option has been known to kill bacteria in the mouth, as well as reduce pain and inflammation. Toothpaste Serum has a self-life of 2 years. The Serum tube requires you to twist it for fluid to flow, it took a lot of twists for me to get Serum out at first.

Was worth the upgrade

The Panasonic ER-GB96-K can easily cut all type of beards, its stainless-steel blade & heavy-duty motor can manage thick long hair. This trimmer is ideal for both professional and personal users.
The Bad: Attachments are a bit clunky to use.
Key features are rotating trimming wheel on the trimmer itself that adjusts trim length according to the comb attachment you are using (A, B, C) & with this easy-to-use system you have a choice of up to 58 trimming lengths. Trimmer is rechargeable & cordless with almost an hour of cordless operation; device can be used while plugged in A/C outlet. (a lot of other cordless trimmers do not have this feature for some reason?) Has power indicator & takes 1 hour to fully charge. The ER-GB96-K is waterproof along with its attachments which makes cleaning it a breeze. A slider switch on detail trim attachment allows you to select the direction where you want to make precision trimming for advanced detailing.
In the box you get the trimmer, four attachment combs, travel bag, cleaning brush, oil, A/C cord & instruction manual that is highly detailed but accessible.
Blades are exceptionally sharp and cut though my dense beard like butter with no snags. Also noticed that the trimmer while operating is much quieter than others I have owned.
Build quality of this product is good since it is constructed with sturdy premium plastic that has good grip in the hands.

This is the best trimmers I have ever encountered and a far cry from the long line of cheap trimmers I have purchased in the past. You can tell that this device was engineered by professionals who gave their input for features & design.

Productive Value & Bang for $$$
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: Mrbell1970
from Ca
This gaming rig will be good for the budget conscious who plays at 1080p, many modern popular games will run at a steady 60 FPS on high (Ultra on some) with some games with the available FSR (AMD FidelityFX) option running even higher. Lighter multiplayer titles like PUBG, Warzone, Fornite & Apex legends will easily get over 100 FPS with this 1660ti card.
The Bad: Fan gets load under load, Bios has limited features regarding tweaking certain CPU & Ram functions, The MyAsus App will indicate Asus proprietary software being up to date when it is not. I had to download Bios upgrade & other various software manually one at a time.
All games evaluated in 1080p on HIGH with Geforce Game Ready Driver 512.15
Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy AVG FPS 76 FSR 1.0 enabled (balanced) *GamePass*
No Man Sky AVG FPS 72 FSR 1.0 enabled (balanced) *Steam*
Praey for the Gods AVG FPS 57 *Steam*
All games ran smooth with no tearing NOTE: I have a gaming monitor 165Mhz
Time Spy Score 6007
Cinebench R23 Single 1368 Multi 6527
Out of the box, case seems well built with a more conservative modern sleek design but does have some customizability, via Armoury Crate app, RGB lighting that is not overdone. Case also has plenty of room inside to upgrade, additionally you have the option to replace side with a transparent one to show off your internals & lights. Keyboard & mouse included are generic, so I used my Logitech keyboard & wired G403 mouse.
While playing Guardians of the Galaxy for 1-hour thermals on CPU stayed at 80C & GPU 60C so it seems this case featuring two isolated air chambers that isolated chambers provide cleaner airflow through the system and prevent heat from the CPU and GPU from warming up the power supply unit and storage drives, keeps heat at reasonable levels. With that said there is no way to add additional outside fan on front but you can add fans on the inside of case.
System is rather fast with 11th Gen CPU, 16GB DDR4 U-DIMM (upgradable to 64GB) & 512GB M.2 NVMe™ PCIe® 3.0 SSD it managed every I threw at it with ease. The Strix G10CE features DTS Headphone:X™ technology to deliver immersive high-fidelity 7.1-channel virtual surround-sound for home theater-quality audio through headphones with equalizer.
Overall, a great affordable system as a starter system or for casual gamers like myself. The 1660ti will tie you over gaming wise until the prices to upgrade to a 3060 normalizes.

Definity worth considering

This Sonic toothbrush and power flosser offers the ultimate cleaning solution for teeth hygiene & plaque reduction. My prior Philips Sonicare toothbrush from 2 years ago (black one pictured) has greatly reduced cleanings at the dentist office, so definitely a fan of these products.
THE BAD: The switch system on power flosser must be pushed up to operate which makes it easier for water continue to flow if you it let go mistakenly. Would have preferred a button system were soon as you let it go it stops. The Phillips Sonic app needs access to your contacts & call history on phone for it to work. Really no reason an app that monitors progress on brushing your teeth should have access to your call history & contacts or maybe I am just paranoid? I hope the company would consider not making that mandatory in a future update.
The Philips Sonicare Power Flosser & Toothbrush System 7000 operates quieter than others & it’s Quad-Stream technology, covers more surface area for a faster, deeper clean versus manual floss. Has an app to monitor your progress. (Could not evaluate it out due to privacy issues) Toothbrush is rechargeable with over a month battery life on a single charge that can charged on Flosser’s base or additional travel charger. Toothbrush comes with travel case and reminds you when to replace brush head and cleans your teeth far better than any manual toothbrush. This unit has easy to follow instructions not that you really need it because quite simple to operate by just choosing a nozzle for floss system, connect brush head and plug in. Brush & floss on a 90-degree angle with cleaning the water reservoir on flosser weekly.

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.

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.

can I print to a wireless printer?
I have a Cannon wireless printer and there was no app for it in the store but they do have a HP one and a print app that uses Google print server which mean you would have to log in to Google to print from your device.

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.
