Great vacuum for any type of flooring!
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
The Bissell "Pet Hair Eraser" vacuum is pretty amazing, and full of great features. It is a fully equipped vacuum that does a great job at picking up stuff that our old vacuum was missing.
A feature that I found extremely helpful, and amazing, was that the handle detaches and turns into a compact vacuum to get into those small spaces. The suction power is just enough to pick up crumbs. The only problem with this was the way the hose is connected to the actual vacuum. It doesn't seem like a very tight/secure connection. I felt like it does lose some suction power due to this, but it still managed to pick up dirt.
We have thick carpeting throughout most of our house, so this was perfect to really test this vacuum out. Although my wife had vacuumed our house earlier in the day, I gave the Bissell a try and found that our old vacuum(which is fairly new) missed a lost of small debris throughout our house. The brush roll is adjustable, so I tried it in various different ways. Since the carpet is fairly thick, I adjusted the roller to really get into it. It did a fantastic job at picking up dirt. Best of all, I checked to see if there was any hair rap in the roller, and there wasn't!
Another nice feature from this Bissell vacuum is that it comes with an odor eliminating Febreze filter in it. It was a bit too strong, but it is a brand new filter and vacuum. The sent is pleasant enough to not cause discomfort. For folks who prefer regular non-scented filters, no need to worry, it comes equipped with that too.
One feature that amazed me was the swivel steering. It is amazing how effortless it is to maneuver the vacuum around the house. The vacuum is not too bulky, so that also cuts down on the weight, but the swivel steering just feels amazing, and even allows you to get into the corners really well.
As for the accessories that come with it, they really come in handy. It comes with an LED crevice tool that allows you to get into the corners of the house and couch. The light really comes in handy for poor lit places. The suction strength is enough to pick up small debris. Getting into those corners and edges has never been this easy. If you don't want to carry around the accessories all over the place, the accessory mount is removable. It does come with a single accessory mount, or a double.
If there's a pet in your house, this is the vacuum for you. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and just does an incredible job cleaning up the house.

Great Docking Station
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
The Belkin dock is a really nice accessory for anybody that owns and Apple watch and IPhone. This dock is equipped with very cool features and is very compact for tight space situation. I will start with the Pros and end with the Cons.
Pros:
- Unlike some of the more "affordable" docking stations that are available from other manufactures, Belkin's Apple dock has the built in chargers for the Apple watch, and phone, all in one place. You no longer need to have two chargers to charge your devices. The watch charger is also magnetized, so no need to worry about how to hold it in place.

You no longer need to have two chargers to charge your devices. The watch charger is also magnetized, so no need to worry about how to hold it in place.
- Another real cool feature that this dock has is a retractable apple lightning port that allows it to extend and retract to fit certain phone cases(There is an issue with this that will be explained in the cons section). This comes in handy for folks who have a case on their phone.
- The fact that this dock is very compact allows you to have a much cleaner looking work space, for those of you who place your devices on your desk. Everything fits in a small area, so there is no need to have your phone laying in one area and your watch in another.
- The dock is heavy enough to prevent you from knocking it over when reaching for either of your devices. This is really important to me because it makes the dock feel of even greater quality. I don't want to knock things over in the middle of the night when I'm reaching over to check the time.
Cons:
- Not too many cons, but one major issue with the docking station is that, although the lightning charging port is able to extend and retract, it does not come out enough to plug into my phone with an Otterbox Defender case on it. It might work if you remove the rubber liner from it, so this is something to think about if you a beefy case on your phone.

- The overall looks of the dock does not win it any awards, but its functions outweigh this little issue.
- Another things that I disliked about the dock, and this is the case for pretty much all other docs, is the fact that you are not able to dock the watch on its side to allow the Nightstand mode to go into effect. Too bad, this would have definitely been something new that Belkin could have implemented in the overall design of its dock. It might not be an important feature for all, but I really find it useful.
Overall, the Belkin dock is a great accessory to have for anyone that is limited in space. this allows to run only one cord to charge both devices, and puts everything in a small compact space. The retractable lightning port is another great feature for folks with thin cases on their phones.
I would highly recommend this Belkin dock to anyone that is in the market for one. You will not regret your purchase.

Great value for the money!
on August 9, 2016
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
I have been wanting to give these little tablets a try for some time now. I went ahead and made the purchase yesterday while they were on sale. I'm originally an Apple guy, but my iPad has seen better days.
The tablet is nestled in compact packaging. Inside you will find the sync cable/charger, and the tablet itself. It comes wrapped in a protective plastic bag. It looks pretty good quality, and feels great in my hands. It is very easy to grasp with one hand, leaving the other free for whatever else you may want to do.
The setup is really straight forward with a few simple questions. If you are already an Amazon customer, you will be asked to input your information during setup...making it even easier to get started. The picture quality is really good for the price of the tablet. It's not HD, but the quality is still pretty good for everyday tasks.
Amazon's app store is packed with tons of apps, movies, books, etc... There is definitely plenty to choose. I have access to Amazon videos, store, and everything Amazon at the palm of my hands.
The only downside to the tablet is that Amazon uses its own "Silk Browser," which I am not a very big fan of. I tried to see if I could download Chrome, but that is still not an option. Hopefully it will be some time in the future. The browser is a bit slow in certain web pages, but functional.
Another thing that I found very useful is the simplicity of setting up my e-mail account to the tablet. The only thing that I notices was that it took a while to load my account, but the setup is very easy. You have access to pretty much everything in the palm of your hands.
Overall, this tablet is a great value for anyone that is in the market for a low cost tablet. It may take some folks a some time to get use to Amazon's OS, but it should not take very long to do so.

Good Noise Canceling Headphones
on June 3, 2016
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
The Bose QC35 headphones are almost identical to the previous version (QC25). Regardless, they look really nice and slick. They come with a really nice protective case(soft lining), USB charging cable, aux cable, and air plane adapter.
Now, for the overall quality of the product. The QC35's do a really good job at blocking outside noise as soon as you turn the power on. I tried this feature with them off, and I have to say that outside noise is still kept to a minimum, but as soon as they are turned on, things get quiet quickly. I have a four year old who likes to run around the house and make lots of noise, I'm not going to say that these headphones block him out completely, but they do a great job at limiting the noise.
One thing that I wish would be improved is the bass on these headphones. Even with the music turned up, the bass is not all there. I feel like these headphones need improvement in this area. It is kind of kept to a minimum. I was really expecting a nice crisp bass tone. This is pretty much the only area where these headphones kind of disappointed me.
The "Bose Connect" is meant to compliment their headphones, but there is so much to be desired in their app. There needs to be more adjustability in the app for the headphones. I was thinking that I would be able to adjust the sound a bit more on the app, but it's pretty much just for telling you battery life, and product information. There is much more room for improvement in their app to make this a greater compliment for their headphones.
I have tried Beats headphones, and have to say that their higher end products produce better bass sound quality then the QC35. I do favor the Bose headphone designs a bit more though.
In all, the QC35's are a great buy. There is more room for improvement in the overall sound quality, and in their app. Bose stands for quality, so you really can't go wrong with a set of QC35 headphones.
Aside from the bass quality issue, I think that these are a pretty good set of headphones. Plus, they look really nice and slick.

Great speeds with all of the latest features!
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
Being that my house is full of wifi enabled gadgets, it was only right that I have the correct router to complement them. There are very few brands that I normally trust, but with Linksys, you know you are getting quality.
The EA9500 MAX-STREAM™ AC5400 TRI-BAND WI-FI ROUTER was perfect for my home. Their products are so easy to set up, so you really can't go wrong with this product, especially if you will be running lots of cool gadgets throughout your home. It's practically a "plug and play" setup. I opted to go the extra mile and download their app so that I can control the router from pretty much anywhere, so that's an extra step that is optional if you want to be in full control from anywhere.
I have to say that the Linksys app isn't the best looking, but it does what it is supposed to do. The ability to control this router from anywhere makes it that much better to have around your house. This router is full of great features, especially for parents, so worry no more about that.
The connection reliability has been pretty solid for the last couple of weeks that I've had the router. There has been an issue where I lost connection when the router tried to switch from one band to the next, but this was only once or twice. I'm hoping that this won't be an issue later on down the road. Aside from this small issue, the connection range, and speed, have been really consistent. The router has kept up with my TV, phone, tablets, etc.
This router comes equipped with Mu-MiMo technology and a USB 3.0 port to make things better. The Mu-Mimo feature is great! I am able to run all of my devices without losing speed.
The only other issue with the router is the size. It's a bit on the bulky side, so it couldn't be placed in the same location as my previous router. I just put up a corner shelf up high for maximum reliability and called it a day. I guess that all other similar routers will be around the same size, so you can't really complaint if you want something with similar features. This thing is surrounded by antennas, so it just looks like a space ship that is ready to take off into space, so it's really cool looking.
If you're out looking for the latest and greatest, seriously consider giving this router a shot. It's overall performance was great. Aside from that small connection issue that I had once or twice, I haven't witnessed any other issues. This, and the actual size of the router, is the only reason I couldn't see myself giving it a perfect five star rating. The router comes equipped with all of the latest technology and features.
I highly recommend this product to anyone in the market for a new router!

Great Range Extender
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
There are a bunch of wifi enabled devices in my house. They range from cell phones all the way down to tablets. Being that my house has a detached garage, and me wanting to put in a smart TV in the garage, a wifi range extender seemed like a really good idea.
My wifi router is located in my living room, which is somewhat far away from my garage. Every time I went into my garage, I would notice that the wifi signal was relatively weak. I gave Linksys MaxStream RE7000-AC1900 Range Extender a try and loved it!
First off, this thing was SO easy to set up! It only takes a push of a button, your routers password, and you are ready to enjoy your wifi where those dead spots use to be. A tool that I found extremely helpful when setting this up was Linksys online signal locator. It helped me find just the right spot to plug the range extender for maximum performance. You don't want to have it plugged in too far away, but still not too close to your router. This was an extremely helpful tool. Also, there is one ethernet port on this device for hardwire connections.
After I set this all up, I went out to my garage to test the signal, and even as far back to the end of my backyard. I can tell you that these dead spots have now been eliminated. My phone no longer has to buffer when listening to music, and the connection speed is amazing.
Another new amazing technology that this range extender features is MU-MIMO technology! This thing is so amazing!
If you are in the market for a range extender, this is definitely the way to go. It is so easy to set up, and it is quipped with the latest in wireless technology.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone that is having connectivity issues in their home, especially if you have multiple wifi enabled devices in your home (MU-MIMO is a plus here).

Absolutely a Must for a Smart Home
on February 5, 2016
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
This wireless router performs great! I've had it for a couple of days and have to say that it has exceeded my expectations. Our home is full of wireless devices. My son likes to stream cartoons and I use the internet for school related work. We get, on average, 166mbps download speeds and 12.17mbps upload speeds using this router.
It has held up great with all of our devices, and the best thing about it...It is a "plug-and-play" instal! I took it right out of the box and was streaming in no time. The set-up menu pops open when you open your browser. It consists of a few simple questions, and you're ready to go! Anyone can do it!
Another great thing about it is that you can create an account so that you can have access to the router's set-up menu from anywhere. This is very convenient for me, as I was not able to do this with my previous router. I love having access to all of my devices from anywhere I go. I'd image this being convenient for anyone on the go.
If you are looking for a new router...look no more. You can't go wrong with this one. My previous TP-Link router is old archaic technology compared to this one. The only downside to this would be that it's slightly bulky, but that's not a problem for me.
I would highly recommend this router to anyone.

Great Product
on December 16, 2015
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
This isn't the first Motorola modem that I have purchased, so I felt comfortable knowing that this product would perform fairly well. I previously had the SB6121 model, but recently stepped up to the 150MB per second Comcast package and felt like I needed a better modem for the speed.
When I went into my local Best Buy store, I had no problem getting them to price match another local competitor that was running a sale on this exact modem. The Best Buy employee was friendly about it, so that made this deal even better for me.
Performance wise, this modem is great. I have had no connectivity issues and the install is pretty straight forward. The speed is consistent, and the looks of the modem is also a plus.
If you are looking for a quality modem at a great price, look no further. This is the one you want. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great Sound, at a great price!
on November 23, 2015
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
The soundbar and wireless subwoofer produce an amazing sound quality when paired together. I've experienced soundbars without the subwoofer, and would recommend against them.
With the volume turned up, I noticed that the sound remained consistent with a nice clear bass sound. With a fairly large living room, I was expecting to loose some of the sound quality due to this, but to my surprise, the sound was still amazing.
The wireless subwoofer is a big plus. It eliminates the need to run cables throughout the house, and makes for a much cleaner installation. This has got to be one of the best attributes to this system!
I would highly recommend this system to anyone.

Far better then my old printer.
on November 7, 2015
Posted by: Jordan
from Oakland, CA
My previous printer was a non-HP product. I had issue with that old printer right from the get-go. After it finally broke down on me, I decided to go back to HP.
Best Buy had a deal going on for this printer, so I decided to pick this up. The only immediate problem is its bulky size and the tiny little screen. It takes up quite a bit of room, so be ready to loose some space on your table/desk.
The setup was extremely easy, but you do have to be careful that the caps lock is off. I managed to get the printer connected to my wifi network in around five minutes. The best thing about it is that I am able to print from all of my Apple devices, as well as PC computers.
As far as printing pictures goes, this printer does a decent job at it. This is more of a small office all-in-one printer, so if you're in need of something that will provide great oicture quality, I would advise against it. This is not to say that the picture quality is terrible because it's not, but it's not the best.
So far, I have had the printer for a few months without any issues. I'm glad I went back to HP printers. I would definitely recommend this printer.
