Good Performance. Long Cleaning Times.
on November 3, 2017

I have owned and tested different robotic vacuums from Shark to Roomba. This ECOVACS company is new to me so I did not have any expectations.
Upon opening the box I can see everything has been packed very well and the vacuum itself looks sleek and compares well with the competition. An included remote or a downloadable app allows scheduling, cleaning jobs and return to base. The suctioning and cleaning performance is good but it needs to run over areas multiple times for optimal cleanliness; this leads to more battery usage. The battery life is quite good. We have cats and the M81Pro does a pretty decent job picking up their hair. The wet mopping feature is ok but the problem is no option to prevent the wet mopping of our rugs which are scattered around. You simply fill up water tank with included cup plus mopping brushes are machine washable.
Overall the M81Pro’s cleaning coverage could be better plus I wish their are options to prevent mopping of certain areas. It is a pretty decent robotic vacuum and this company seems to have potential in a very competitive vacuum market.

Excellent Performance. Quieter than Roomba!

I have had great experience with Shark cleaning products and was waiting for a robotic vacuum to be released...the day has come.
The ION 720 is amazingly very quiet for a robotic vacuum. I often do not realize it is on which is great for when I am listening to music or watching TV. It is easily the quietest robo vacuum I have ever used so that is a big plus for me and it does not disturb our pets. It cleans my carpets and tile floors efficiently and does a good job of suctioning. The Roomba I used before probably had better suctioning ability but this Shark does a bang up job as well if not exactly an equal one. We have cats at home so there is cat hair all over the place and it requires daily vacuuming. The RV720 does a very good job of picking up all the hair and it is making me forget there was hair in the first place. Side brushes allows cleaning close to walls. The remote is very easy to use and allows scheduled cleaning setup, pausing, starting, and return to the charging station. I do wish the remote would allow direct manual driving of the vacuum so I can vacuum over a specific area if I wanted on demand. Overall the vacuum does a splendid job of cleaning my house and it does a terrific job picking up pet hair, litter, food particles among other things. It is on the pricier side but I have come to trust Shark products as their quality and durability have been great for me personally over the years. Add this Shark ION 720 onto that list.

Easy to install and works well. Google Home fees.
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
One of the worries I have on a daily basis is whether I left my garage door open after I have already driven away from the house and will be gone for an extended period of time. Even after returning to check or close the door, I always wished there were a way to easily check again from a afar. With this myQ garage hub, life just got a little less worrisome.
*****Before doing any installing, please make sure that the garage has a strong enough Wi-Fi signal. This is essential to getting the system to work properly. If your Wi-Fi signal is not strong enough consider moving your router to better cover the garage or consider installing a Wi-Fi extender close to or inside the garage itself.*****
It took me more than an hour to install and test everything as I wanted to mount the hub and sensor as perfectly as possible. Upon finishing the physical set up, I downloaded the mobile app. A monthly subscription fee is required for Google Home linkage but this does not apply for using the myQ app only. You can get alerts/notifications when the garage door is ever opened or closed which is great, especially when you are leaving town and not returning to the house for an extended time.
Overall the garage door monitoring system works as intended and I personally have had no issues using it. The mobile app is quite easy to use and you gotta love the alerts when the door is being used. These subscription fees for Google Home integration do not affect me but they were unexpected. I gather that is how the company can make some more revenue to offset the costs since this system is new. Hopefully after enough successful sales the subscription fees will be dropped.

Outstanding Noise Cancellation. Terrific Sound.
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
I have lost count of how many headphones and headsets I have owned and reviewed over the years. I have owned brands like Klipsch, Astro Gaming, Bose, Sony, and Turtle Beach to name a few. Noise cancellation technology has really progressed these past years and the Sony 1000XM2 shows why it is the best on the market currently.
The 1000XM2 has a modern looking sleek design with very comfortable ear cups. I was able to wear this headset for hours on end without any noticeable discomfort. The ear cup leather is of good quality and the overall headset build and material feels quite solid. The headset utilizes an entirely touch pad system located on the outside of the right ear cup. It is intuitive and quite easy to use. Swiping up or down controls volume while left and right swipes is for music track control. Double tapping pauses or resumes and a holding press activates voice assistant for your mobile device. Simply great design.
The noise cancellation is the clearly the best feature here. I have tested the Bose QC 35 and those are great at noise cancelling, however the Sony 1000XM2 wins here for sure. You can customize the noise isolation level to allow a certain level of external sounds to be heard. A mobile app for IOS and Android can be downloaded which allows you to adjust the noise cancellation and EQ settings among other things. A most welcome feature for me personally is the Quick Attention option. When covering the right touch pad, internal audio is lowered and noise cancellation reduced so you can hear outside sounds like someone talking to you for example. Great feature that should be incorporated in future headset designs.
The audio quality is comparable to Bose pieces. The bass is surprisingly very strong and can be adjusted via the app. Dynamic range is pretty good and vocals are crystal clear. I need my bass to be at least semi punchy and this headset truly delivers on that.
Battery life is reported to be 30 hours which is plenty long and the headset comes with a hard travel case.
I can not say enough positives for the 1000XM2. The only comparable headset I have tested recently is the QC 35 II but the Sony has features that separate it like the touch pad control system and Quick Attention option. Customizing via the Sony mobile app further pushes this over the top and I highly recommend giving this at least a try. You will not be disappointed.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro hybrid electric trimmer and shaver, QP6520/70 (14 length comb)

Sleek Solid Trimmer.
on October 19, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
Unboxing the OneBlade Pro and holding it in my hand I get a strong sense of simplicity, sleekness and efficiency. It took about an hour to fully recharge. Build quality feels quite good and balanced. I really like the green/black color scheme. The LED battery indicator is great for showing exactly how much juice is left and adds to the already cool appearance. Razor blades on this reportedly last 4 months. Performance wise it surprisingly gives me quite a close shave for an electric. I need to grow out my beard to see how it performs on thicker shaves. I did not expect much from this trimmer upon receiving it but I am very content with its performance so far. It is a pretty solid sleek trimmer that won't replace razors quite yet but it gets closer to that dream.

Solid Backup/Charging Combo!
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
Setting up the iXpand is simple. Download the mobile app for your iPhone, plug the base unit into an outlet and connect the lightning cable to your phone. The wrap around design for the lightning cable is great for a less messier look. Unfortunately the base is not compatible with Android phones currently. The iXpand has a plain no frills appearance to it. A rubberized top allows for your iPhone to placed without worry of accidental shifting. The unit is able to detect what new items are on your iPhone compared to where you last backed up everything. If the base storage capacity gets close to full, simply transfer the SD card to a computer to off load your important files so that the SD card will be clear and free to download future new items. 15W allows for quick iPhone charging too.
I always wanted a charger and automatic backup combo for my phones and although it only supports iPhones, it easy for everyone to use and works like a dream. I definitely recommend it. Overall a real solid value.

Great Noise Isolation. OK Bass. Lightweight.
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
Whenever Bose is involved one can expect to open up the wallet a little for their products but more often than not the money is well spent and here is another case where it is much so again.
Upon taking out the wireless headset you can instantly see and feel the solid build quality one can expect from Bose. It is definitely lightweight and rather comfortable to wear. Wearing for a few hours straight did not have reveal any uncomfortable pressure on my ears or head. The leather ear cups are good but not the best. Overall the design is sleek and is in line with Bose's style.
Connecting my iPhone to the QC 35 was simple enough via bluetooth and I had no issues. Another bonus for the QC 35 compared to other headsets is the Bose mobile app. The app allows firmware updates, auto power down setting and reading the user manual among other things. Excellent battery life with 20 hours listening time. Turning on the headset you can hear the battery % left and which device you are connected to as well which is nice.
I have had very few Bose products in my life but the ones I did have all had sensational sound fidelity. This QC 35 headset is on that list now. Balanced EQ that has more than decent bass and good mid range. The key is the noise cancellation technology here. Lot of products I have tested in the past had at best good noise isolation but this QC 35 is perhaps the best. Outside sounds can easily blend in and ruin your immersive music experience and the noise cancellation feature here greatly brings the music to life with you being in the center. Environment sounds so much louder when you take off the headset so I definitely advise not using this feature when your full attention is needed like cycling for instance. Built in microphone works well and I did not find myself repeating anything I had to say so far. Callers on the other end say that I sounded clear and concise for the most part.
Overall the QC 35 is another solid offering from Bose. Bose's products usually play in the higher price range but you definitely get exceptional audio and solid build quality. The design is nothing special and some may find it plain for the price. Outstanding noise isolation feature. Bass could definitely be better so if you are into bass like me then you may not love this offering as much.

Solid Vacuum. Star Performer for Pet Hair.
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
I have only owned Shark vacuums and they have all been great but I was looking forward to trying out a model from another company. I can with full confidence say that this Bissell 2087 is a welcome addition to our home.
It was no problem taking out the vacuum from the box and it was a cinch to set up. Vacuum is on the heavier side but my experience has shown me that more weighted vacuums are usually of higher quality, last longer and have superior cleaning power. Included is a Febreeze filter which is great for leaving the house smelling fresh after cleaning.
As far as the cleaning itself, it does a solid job of picking up regular dirt from my tile, wood and carpeted surfaces. What really puts this model on top is how it handles pet hair. We have cats at home so their hair is all over the house including under furniture, all over the staircase, kitchen, tight spaces, etc. The Pet Hair Eraser does a wonderful job picking up all their hair without tangling up the brush roll. Emptying the dirt compartment with the pet hair is surprisingly easy. The vacuum also did a great job picking up spilled out litter and food from the mats and floors. The detachable wand has a built in LED light which is a welcome addition since I often turn on the lights to locate the dirt or pet hair better.
If there are any gripes to have it is that it can be quite loud when in use and the Febreeze filters are not that cheap.
Overall it is a terrific vacuum that is a beast for homes that have furry/hairy pets. As a regular vacuum it is a solid option too but you will not get the most value for your money though.

Excellent range and speed. Beautiful design.
on September 25, 2017
Posted by: NYY0420A

Upon opening the flip lid box you can see the matte finish router immediately and start feeling the sense that you about to own a elite piece of equipment. The WRT32X plays in the higher end price range for wireless routers but in my opinion is justified.
The design for the WRT32X reflects Linksys's continued classic angled look with a matte finish. The overall black exterior matches very well with the LED light panel and antennas and will blend in seamlessly with most decors. The router simply looks like a high end product that is ready to take on any task you throw at it. Contains 4 LAN ports, 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB/eSata combo port.
Setup is a breeze as the included instructions are easy enough to follow. The settings dashboard is laid out in a way that is simple to navigate and options are easy to find and manage. We have a 200 MBPS/40 MBPS speed package with Optimum at home. This router is getting us about those speeds on the 5GHZ channel upstairs of the house. We live in a 2200 sq. foot. property and have tried numerous wireless routers to maximize wireless ranges and the WRT32X is one of the better options available currently. My ping rate is usually 10-20 ms and the WRT32X is able to get it consistetly around 10 or sometimes a little lower which is amazing. I have not gotten any disconnects so far and all my connected devices are lag free since using the WRT32X. I mainly play shooters like Battlefield 1, COD and Destiny these days and the performance so far has been terrific. No stuttering or lagging of any kind so far via multiplayer modes. I play Battlefield 1 with 64 players matches and the connection has been silky smooth so far.
This product's main star feature is it's Killer Prioritization that reduces peak ping rates. Killer compatible equipment is needed to utilize this option and while I do not currently have Killer NICs, the router's improved performance of my home network is still noticeable. I look forward to purchasing Killer enabled cards and hope gaming consoles also will support this feature moving forward.
I have owned routers from Google, Netgear, Tenda, TP-Link, ASUS and Linksys. The Linksys routers I have owned in the past have usually at the very least been reliable and good. This WRT32X is a great offering from Linksys and I can easily recommend it to serious gamers or for people who are looking for a solid overall wireless router in general.

Great Lightweight Vacuum!

Posted by: NYY0420A
from Brooklyn, NY
One of the best stick vacuums I have ever owned. We purchased a Shark stick vacuum for my mother-in-law and I own a Shark rotator lift away; they are great and we love Shark vacuums. Add the IF251 to the list.
This is not a replacement for a standard vacuum as the holding capacity for stick vacuums are always less due to the lightweight design and portability. There are different suction settings for max power or extended battery run time. I really love the MultiFLEX design which allows the vacuum to fold over for reaching under harder to reach areas like under beds and cabinets and the folding option is excellent for storage purposes. Comes with 2 batteries, Charger, Charging Dock, Duster Crevice Tool, Pet Multi Tool, Anti-Allergen Dust Brush. The 2 lithium ion rechargeable batteries allows for one battery to always be charging so that there is no vacuuming downtime.
We have cats at home and the IF251 does a solid job of picking up all their loose hair, litter and cat food remains on the floor and carpet. This stick vacuum does a surprisingly good job of picking up larger items off too. I used it on our wood and tile floors as well as the walls and ceilings and it does an amazing job picking up everything considering it is a stick vacuum essentially.

It is definitely one of the more pricier stick vacuums but it is seriously is an outstanding value compared to more expensive options like Dyson among some of the elite brands. Again we have owned Shark cleaning products and also a Ninja blender and they have performed beyond our expectations. I highly recommend this IF251 vacuum.

3 out of 5Excellent Range. Simple to Manage. OK speed.
By NYY0420A
My first thought upon opening the router's box and removing the contents was one of simplicity and ease. The good feelings continued on as I plugged in all my network connections and powered on the WRT AC3200. It was a breeze to set up and all I needed was the included printed quick start guide.
Build quality feels nice and it does not feel heavy when I hold the router in my hands but I do find the overall shape to be bulky.
The Linksys settings screen has a simple to navigate and clean user interface. I had no trouble tweaking wireless options, checking for firmware updates or changing the router password.
This router has the best range of all the routers I have ever used in my house. We have a 2200 Sq. Ft. house so it was important that signal coverage and wall penetration all around are excellent. I am getting 4 bars in the wireless indicator as opposed to 3 bars before. Link speeds are higher.
Wireless connection speed is not as fast as my previous router. I have a 109 MBPS Internet connection and I am getting anywhere from 70-90 MBPS on average on the second floor with the Linksys via 802.11AC while my previous router's output was about 109 using 802.11AC as well. Every speed test seems to show slower or faster speeds while my network is under zero load other than the speed test. Establishing a wireless connection to the router is not as fast as I would like and sometimes it has trouble connecting. Wired connections like my Xbox One or OOMA seem more on par and first floor wireless speeds seemed fine.
It comes down to wireless performance here as I am not getting speeds close to what I am supposed to and sometimes when I lose my wireless connection it isn't always quick to re-establish a connection. My hope is since this router came out this year (2016) there is still ample time to improve performance via Linksys firmware updates, WRT or DD-WRT patches.

REVIEW UPDATE: 100% throughput now!
October 24, 2016
In my previous review I had issues with wireless performance on my 2nd floor. Those issues have been resolved by moving my desktop's wireless adapter to a better location and changing the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ frequencies to fixed channels. I have a 200 MBPS connection from Optimum and I am not getting that speed throughout my house. I have had great performance with past Linksys products and have not used them in a few years and I am glad to be back with them again. The router is still a little pricey for my tastes but with some tweaking after installation I can now recommend this router to everyone who is looking for top wired and wireless performance!
Change from 3 STARS TO 5 STARS!

No remote. I have three of these clock radios in my house and absolutely love them. Great price and design. Very good sound. It will be hard to find a remote for something this good at less than $100.

Can you charge a laptop
The clock radio only allows charging via its rear USB port. It is meant to charge phones mainly or even tablets. Any device that can charge via USB would work fine but a laptop requires charging via a wall adapter.
