Light, portable, fast at a cost
on January 3, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
The Epson WorkForce ES-65WR Wireless Portable Document Scanner is certainly fast, small and light. It is fully mobile with a built in battery and the ability to connect via USB or wireless to a PC or Mac or to an iOS or Android device.
On a computer the Epson Scansmart Accounting Edition software makes it easy to scan anything up to 8.5” wide and 72” long and save in various formats such as JPG, PDF or Microsoft Office formats like .docx and .pptx. You can also send them directly to online services like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Evernote. There is also a built in receipt manager that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify key aspects so that the data can be exported to other applications like Quickbooks, Quicken, Turbotax and a basic CSV file. This is convenient if you have a lot of receipts to file for taxes or business. For the mobile app it is basic scan in PDF or JPG and it saves the files to the device. It also gives some settings options such as cleaning, calibration and power off timers.
Nuance Power PDF Standard is also included and provides a decent alternative to Adobe. It has pretty much all the same functions as Adobe, such as OCR, editing, signatures and forms. The application has a very similar layout as most Office applications so it is easy to use.
With all that said though, I found this little scanner a little frustrating at times. It is quick, but at a cost. The default setting for scan is 200 dpi which is good to clear black/white text. However, if the characters are complex or you want image clarity, you have to increase the dpi settings. If you change only the resolution, it will give a “Reduce the resolution” error till you realize that the default Document size of “Auto Detect (Long Page)” has to be changed to get the better resolution. This of course then makes the scanner slower, but still reasonable. With it at the lower resolution and being fast I also found the majority of my scans would come out crooked. No matter how much I tried to get them in there straight, one edge always seemed to be off. I think a simple pop-out edge piece would have helped that a lot.
When inserting a document, there is a sensor that detects you have inserted a document which turns the page feeder ever so slightly to grab the document. However, if you aren’t moving at the speed it wants you to, it will not grab it, taking a couple tries, especially if you realized it grabbed one corner before the other. With small flimsy paper receipts this became a game of “is it grabbing it now.”
As for the software, the OCR was fair, but really makes you question what it was trying to make out, especially if images are involved, like the logo on many receipts. The receipt manager attempts to find the name of the company, but logos and websites throw it off everytime. It does manage to grab the total, tax and payment method fairly well. However, the rest is manually entered or if you wanted to itemize the receipt, you have to use a different format.
Bottom line, if you need something that is easily packed in a briefcase and doesn’t need to be connected to a PC for simple scanning, this is a decent option. However, if you want straighter scans I’d look for something with at least a folding document guide.

Full computer that could pass as a TV
on December 11, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Simply put, this is a perfect all in one computer if you are looking for something that is more like a TV in form factor but has all the capability of a Windows computer. If you are limited on space, don’t want to have a tower, don’t want to limit yourself to the size of a laptop or don’t want to have anything more than a power cord connected, this is for you. With the technical specs included in this model (listed below) it is a fully capable computer. However, don’t expect it to be a high end gaming or editing machine with the Intel UHD 630 graphics. With that said, if you have a gaming console, you can plug it into this monitor by HDMI and push the source button on the bottom right side, just like a TV.
I’m personally not a fan of pre-made all in one machines, only because I’m a tech savvy type person that likes to customize and upgrade my computer. However, my kids and my parents don’t need to be confused with all the internals. They just want to get on the internet, play their little games and watch videos while in their dorm or bedroom with the familiarity of Windows operating system. This Dell Inspiron 7777 All-in-One is exactly for them.
The whole set up is a little heavy out of the box, around 20lbs, and the stand base attaches with a thumbscrew. A USB dongle is in the mouse to connect the included wireless mouse and keyboard, once it and the power is plugged in and batteries put in the keyboard and mouse, you are up and running in a matter of minutes. With the built in speaker, microphone and touchscreen, you don’t even need the keyboard or mouse to get setup with Cortana. On that note, there is also a webcam and IR cam, for face recognition, in the top that pops up when pressed. Convenient for video calls and hiding the camera in case of privacy concerns.
I’ve never had a device so large that was touchscreen, but this has 10 point multitouch. Convenient for when you don’t want to pull the mouse and keyboard out to maybe select a new video, close out a window or flip the page on whatever you are doing. Though this model from Best Buy comes with the pedestal stand that only tilts -5° to 30°, Dell has an option for an articulating stand which allows the screen to sit flat and you could turn this multitouch screen into a piano. The screen also has a satin like non-reflective surface that does pretty good with avoiding fingerprints. Touch it after eating some chips and you might need some isopropyl alcohol to wipe it down, as with any screen.
Some of the specifications on the Best Buy page are a little misleading, but this is exactly the hardware that came in mine.

Inexpensive wireless enjoyment
on December 7, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Great value wireless fitness headphones with a couple of options for ear tips. These include the standard small/medium/large gel tips, a double flange gel tip and my favorite style, the cloud foam. These are great for sound isolation and comfort. There are also a pair of fins that can be removed to help with some additional comfort and fit. With the memory wire and shirt cable clip you can make it fit to you. In my case, I found it convenient to run under my beard in front of my head. A little bit easier to access the controls and microphone at that point.
Some other decent features include IP55 rated resistance, which they claim as “Everything-proof” on the packaging. Rinsing them off didn’t seem to have any impact on them. There is also a 30 day satisfaction guarantee and a 2 year warranty. Battery life tends to last 6 hours on the dot with continuous audio. The sound quality is pretty good, I couldn’t tell a different between these and their high priced Epic Sport model. While pushing both the volume + and – you can step through their three EQ sounds depending on your listening style.
There are a few things that separate these from higher priced headphones. The control module is a bit larger than some and in some activities can be irritating, but not too bad. Though the sound quality is good, the microphone sounded muffled. Even with closer placement to the mouth, since it hangs well behind the ear, it didn’t make a difference. However, it was clear enough to handle conversations. Battery life, though good for an average workout, won't last you all day of continuous usage.
These are absolutely worth it though and perfect for an inexpensive gift.

Limited use tinnitus simulator
on November 28, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
These headphones are light, fairly comfortable over-the-ear and simple to set up. The range easily allowed me to walk around my two story house without interruption. They are decent for hooking up to a non-wireless capable devices and letting you listen quietly on your own. You can connect with TOSLink optical cable (not included) using PCM only, or with RCA jacks and the included 3.5mm adapter to RCA. So, you can essentially have two audio sources that you can switch between with a button on the headphones.
However, there are a few problems I have with this headset. The base station is larger than my cable modem, but it does hold the headphones for charging, the only way to charge them. The images on the box show a good comparison of how big it is. They are for a small use situation that can be achieved with a Bluetooth adapter and a cheaper set of headphones and those headphones could then be used with any other Bluetooth device. These headphones are essentially Bluetooth, but only work with the base station. The sound quality isn’t the worst I have ever heard, but there is an awful metallic echo sound every time the sound goes quiet. You can simulate the sound by tapping on the outside of the headphone. It is one of those sounds that once you hear it, you can’t unhear it and your ears feel like they are ringing the whole time you are listening to something. They seem cheaply made due to the material and weight, but they handled some good twists and bends without breaking.
If I could pair the headphones with my phone and then switch over to my TV connected to the base station, on the opposite side of the room, I might have considered them a little more useful. However, the metallic echo sound is what really throws me off with these and unless you like feeling like you have tinnitus, it's not worth it.

Pro features with guided steps
on November 17, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Adobe products have always been known for their high end capabilities, but never for their interface. Like other Adobe products I have used, it’s not so easiest to get around Photoshop Elements 2019, however they have simplified editing. The application opens with a web like interface that has a bunch of “Try This” and “What’s new” tiles to take you to specific sites. It has a section for auto creations once you’ve directed it to your files. Then three buttons which open other applications for organizer, photo editor, or if you have it installed, video editor, Premiere. It will continue to advertise itself if you don’t have it.
For the organizer I fully expected to point it at my photo folder and be given all kinds of easy ways to sort them. However, it did not turn out quite like that. It took all my pictures and provided the folders they were in, not in subfolders like I already had them stored. So for instance a wedding folder has subfolders in it as groom, bride, family but now instead of searching for the wedding I have to find the individual folders.
After a fair amount of time, it has collected faces for me to identify. Not 100% accurate and some online photo storage services have done a better job of identifying family members over the years of them changing. Sorting by places or events it gives an option to “Group By Date” which grouped mine as Nov 2018 - Dec 2002 in one group of 24,000 pictures and another group of misdated pictures from 1601. A slider lets you change Min (default), Max and something in between. Basically from no real grouping to almost each day as a group and a mix in between that ranges from one day to 5 years per group. I’m sure with time I can manually fix all of them.
The photo editor portion of Elements is pretty powerful and with the guided option makes it a bit more user friendly with examples of the difference in effects. There are simple edits in the Quick category that can do all of the modification in one quick click. More complex options in the Guided category that require you to use the magic tool and isolate the subject. However, instead of having to search for the tools, it is right there as a step for you. Before finalizing it also helps you fine tune the picture by adding and removing the effect or picture. During this though, you can use more complex options and if you feel like you want to have even more control, you can go into Expert Mode.
Overall, I do like Adobe Photoshop Elements as it does not require a subscription like the majority of their other products. However, there are some free and cheaper products out there that can do pretty much the same function. The guided effects is the best, since I don't have to go look for a video online on how to do it. Use the 30 day trail period online and see it it works for you.

Quick touch up with no cord
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
The Shark ION X40 is a fairly small, lightweight cordless stick vacuum. Easy to just grab it and get a mess up or a quick touch up without having to unwind the cord of a standard vacuum. The DuoClean brush is great for cleaning hard floors and carpets. The standard mode power is ok if you are just trying to clean up a light dusting of crumbs or something. However, to pick up anything of size the ION Boost does the job. Like any battery operated item though, battery life is dependant on use. Using it with the brushroll and ION boost pretty much the whole time you will get about 10-15 minutes of use. To do a quick touch up of my first floor it was plenty of time to get the whole floor and furniture. Though it comes with a crevice tool and upholstery tool, it has nowhere to store them. However, interchanging the parts is easy, even detaching the brushroll from the wand to reach high or low areas. The chargers is plugged directly into the battery, so it can be charged while still in the vacuum or separate on its own. For instance, the closet where you store typically does not have a plug, so you can pull the battery out and charge it elsewhere. There is also a drop in charger sold separately.
This is in no way a replacement for a larger stronger vacuum, but it’s priced like it is. That is the one thing that puts me off with it. It’s like getting half a regular vacuum for twice the price. However, not having to go back and forth with a cord and plug may be worth the cost for quick touch ups.

Print from practically anything
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
A reasonably priced all in one multi-function inkjet printer. After a few minutes of powering on, installing the ink cartridges and letting it run initial calibration I was able to print from my phone without ever connecting it to my network. With NFC I tapped my phone to the front and it led me straight to the iPrint & Scan app in the app store. Once installed it was easy to scan documents and photos to my phone, print documents or photos and even arrange for a fax, but I don’t have a phone line.
Connecting to my wireless network was just as simple and my computers easily found the printer for a quick setup. You can also use USB and wired LAN cables and the ports for those are in the strangest place. You have to lift the scan bed up and run the cables through a channel to connect them. However, this does help keep a low profile for the printer since you can push it flush to the wall. The only time you need to access the back is in a jam situation or if you want to use the single sheet manual feed. The manual feed is convenient if you don’t want to change out the paper in the tray, but it is single sheet only and if you are already tight on space, requires it to be pulled out.
Even with all the other devices connected, you can choose to print from services like Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive directly from the printer menu. There are also some other pre-formatted items that you can print like calendars, stationary and certificates.
Print quality is not bad and fairly quick, however, it can be better if you change print settings from normal to fine, though it does take longer and more ink. Printing photos is where it made a real difference to me as normal looked a bit faded and washed out while fine had sharper edges and deeper color.
It never failed that my kids would come home from school one day and need something random printed, scanned, copied and have it on their phone or laptop. With so many ways to connect to this printer it makes it easy to just get it done, even if the device isn’t on my network.

Keep your home free from pet hair with this BISSELL CleanView vacuum. Triple Action technology and specialized tools provide powerful cleaning of carpets, floors and hard-to-reach areas, and the automatic rewind lets you store the cord with one touch. This BISSELL CleanView vacuum~s lightweight design and swivel steering deliver smooth maneuverability to effortlessly reach edges and corners.
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Surprisingly, for the price the BISSELL CleanView does its job well. Even after having recently vacuumed my carpet with a different vacuum, it still managed to get more pet hair. Having such a large clear canister also makes it visible just how much you are picking up.
Putting the BISSELL Cleanview together wasn’t difficult, but does require a phillips head screwdriver. All of the tools snap onto the vacuum, however, the flexible crevice tool that is supposed to go into the extension wand is a bit tight due to it being rubberized. It requires a little force to get it inside so that it will snap in place for storage.
The triple action brush roll has three types of bristles on it that seems to help get different textures of materials. Having the clear plastic over that brush roll is nice as well, as you can easily see if something is getting tangled without having to disassemble it. However, if you do have to get the brush roll out, that is six screws to remove on the bottom.
The tools include the Flexible Crevice Tool which has two settings by twisting it. One that is like a typical crevice tool and uses the tip for vacuuming and the other which uses the side for broader strokes. The whole tool is covered in rubber so it manages to grab hair pretty well. The Dusting Brush is pretty standard. The Pet TurboEraser Tool is interesting. It uses the power of the suction to create spin on the brushroll. It’s not like a powered brushroll as it will stop with any friction, so it takes a little getting used to. However, it did a great job at getting the hair off of my stairs.
Having the cord rewind makes things a lot easier when it comes to finishing up. Just a push of a button and all 27 feet of the cord is cleaned up for you. The down side to the large clear tank and the rewind is that you aren’t getting under much with it. The vacuum tilts and swivels well and will get slightly under the edge of beds and table, but not much. You can easily pull off the hose, snap on the wand extension and any one of the tools though.
The tank is easy to remove and empty and the filters are easily accessible for cleaning. I also really enjoy the Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator Filter that is included with this model. I don’t know how long it will last, but using this vacuum with this filter is refreshing and probably something I will end up replacing as it does wear out. As far as wear, this also comes with a 4 year limited warranty which is surprising as even higher priced vacuums don’t tend to come with one that long.
If you have pets and carpet, the BISSELL Cleanview Swivel Rewind Pet Select is certainly worth it. With the added Ferbreze filter, I just want to vacuum to freshen up my home.

Too bulky to be handheld, to weak to be upright
on October 31, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Maybe it’s because this is the first stick vacuum I have ever attempted to use, but I was not impressed.
For the good side of things, this vacuum can get into places not many others can. When using it as an upright you can lay it nearly flat and get under low tables. You can detach the Zero M cleaner head from the bottom of the wand, attach the pet multi-tool and then reach your ceiling. It has an LED light on the main unit and a couple of them on the cleaner head. It was super simple to assemble and just as easy to convert into the various configurations and empty the canister. It is fairly light weight, but bulky in size.
Essentially this is like one of them handheld battery operated vacuums, but with a 30 foot cord. Though you don’t have to worry about charge and potential loss of power, this one isn’t much more powerful. Just trying to vacuum pet dander off of my couch left a lot to desire. Having the XL capacity dust cup is also what adds to the bulkiness of it and makes using it as a handheld even worse. It comes with a precision duster tool, which includes a short hose. Had they made that hose possible to attach the pet multi-tool or crevice tool it might have impressed me a bit more, but you can’t. This little duster tool made me feel like I should be dusting doll furniture and the way it is designed you can’t get very strong suction with it, so using it in crevices was useless.
Being that the main piece of the vacuum is intended to be handheld, when using it as an upright, it is extremely top heavy. There’s no letting go of this while you are vacuuming and then coming back to it. You must lay it down or take it apart every time or it will fall over. Leaning it on a wall works sometimes, but the slightest off balance and it is in the floor anyways. This also leads to odd storage. Though it has a wall mount clip, if you aren’t using that, you clip it to the wand, then wrap the cord around the wand and store like a regular vacuum. When stored like this, it actually took more space than my Shark Duo Clean upright (pictured).
Another thing, and maybe this is just my unit, but there are three filters, two inside and one on the bottom. The two inside can be accessed from the top that says “Clean filters monthly” while the one on the bottom is near the plug and just says “Clean filter.” Once I removed the cover from that filter, it continues to pop off, especially when the vacuum gets a hard suction and releases quickly. So I have this cover and filter just randomly popping off the handheld unit all the time.
I like Shark, I have an Ion Bot and the Duo Clean, but this Rocket Zero-M handheld stick vacuum does not do it for me. It’s too cumbersome to use as a regular vacuum, too bulky to use as a handheld vacuum and really not more powerful than a cordless vacuum.

Perfect desk position required*
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: DavidJr
from Rineyville, KY
Like I said in one of my other mouse reviews, a mouse is kind of like a fancy glove. You really have to try them on to see the fit. The Logitech MX Vertical is one of those mice that you really need to try in your normal working position.
The MX Vertical has a very interesting angle to it and in a perfect positioned desk, it does relieve pressure on your wrist from the normal angle of a standard mouse. The grip is quite comfortable and the whole mouse is extremely light. It glides really smooth on a flat surface and the added capability to adjust the DPI makes it so that the smallest of movement can move quite far. With having three ways to connect, you can also connect to three different computers and switch between them with a click of a button.
With that though, I found that the weight of controlling the mouse was moved from the wrist to my forearm which leads to the “perfect positioned desk” above. If you are slightly higher or lower than level with the mouse, it really becomes more strain on the arm in general. In some positions I felt like I was trying to grip the mouse too much, in others I couldn’t move down without moving my whole arm. The grip position is also something that will take some getting used to, especially if you use the forward/backward buttons above the thumb a fair bit as I felt like I was letting go of the mouse just to click them.
Now, I’m not saying this is a bad mouse. Just that is has to be a very specific position in order to get the “10% reduction in muscular strain” that it mentions. Pretty much exactly as you see it on the back of the box. If you don’t have a properly positioned desk like that, then this mouse will cause more pain than relief.

Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

1 out of 5Need certain phones to use this.
By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.

It says on the front and back of the box, "Compatible with Note5/S6 edge+/S6/S6 edge" and anywhere you look online it says it as well.

Upgrade your home office with this Dell Inspiron desktop. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM let you multitask seamlessly, and the 1TB hard drive offers plenty of storage for photos and games. This Dell Inspiron desktop has a 27-inch FHD wide-angle touch screen display for watching your favorite videos.
Has anyone played any games on this unit ? I know it’s not a gaming system , however just wondering if anyone has tried any games.
For an example, I tried to play Battlefield V, which I was surprised that it loaded, but quickly crashes. I kind of expected this as their minimum requirements are for a higher graphics card, which this one has an integrated Intel UHD 630. Games like Sims 4 and other less intensive games work just fine. With the HDMI input, you can always just hook up a PS/Xbox.

Listen to your TV or music wirelessly without disturbing others.
Can you have 2 sets of headphones working on the same tv ?
You cannot pair another pair of headphones with the base station. However, you could use a second set with the RCA cables. There is an IN and OUT on the base station, so you could essentially take the audio from your device, like a TV, to one base station using RCA cables and OUT to the the IN of the other base station.

Samsung's website indicates this TV comes with "OneRemote" technology that automatically detects and controls your connected devices and content with no manual programming required. What are the limitations? What types of devices does this work with?
The One Remote will automatically work with devices that it identifies through HDMI, especially other Samsung products. However, if it does not recognize the device and gives a generic device, you can manually set it to possibly provide some functionality. Most common cable/satellite boxes, all in one sound systems, media players and DVD/Blu-ray players will get basic functionality such as volume, play/pause while some use the colored button function.
