Simple install, excellent function and app
on November 10, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
The first thing I noticed upon opening the box was how small this thermostat is. We had an older wifi thermostat, and it was huge comparatively. The Honeywell Smart - Color is small and solid. The installation is easy, and if you go to their YouTube video, you'll have it done in a snap. Label all the wires,and you're set. I already had a C-wire, so no problems there. The app is wonderful!!! But you do have to set all the schedules ON the unit itself prior to being able to really manipulate anything beyond temps in the app. Once the schedules are in (and it walks you through on the unit, step by step) the app can do everything. The thermostat "learns" meaning it will learn how long it takes your home to reach a certain temp over time and will adjust to when it cranks up to meet each scheduled temp change. Colors are pretty neat, not overly necessary, but nice. I highly recommend!

Pay more $$ for lighter model
on November 7, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I got this sweeper after using a friend’s more expensive one from a different brand. I love the concept—cordless stick vac with a motorized roller head and ample attachments for versatility. The construction is as expected for the brand and price point. Attractive colors. Great suction and power. Horrible design. The handle is awkward at best for upright use. The thing weighs more than my full sized bag vac, and it’s all in the top portion (10+ pounds), requiring serious arm strength to operate (weight of a conventional vac is on the floor, not in your hand). There’s no way I would use this daily or even weekly. Far too heavy. I may keep it for the stair function, but only until I get a lighter alternative. The more expensive models weigh literally half as much. I’m extremely disappointed.

Noise cancelling, good sound, light and small
on October 31, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
These are designed to fit snugly inside the ear. They are comfy and extremely lightweight. They also stay put through a workout. The rest of the world may as well be on “mute” when the buds are in noise cancel mode (adjustable by the button on the left bud). You’ll hear nothing but your music! And you music will sound really good—far better than most competitors. Connection is superior to others I have tried. I can walk from one side of the office building to the other and maintain clear sound. Battery life is the average three hours, with two full charges in the case, and 75 minutes air time on a 15 minute charge. Two major (for me) cons worth the loss of a star: you cannot use the buds singularly, you either wear both or none. There is no on-bud volume control.

Not worth the extra $$
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
A charger should be sturdy, it should charge the device quickly, and it should be convenient to use. Belkin gets two of the three. If you cover a cable in kevlar, you have sturdy. This cable does charge the Apple Watch. But the convenience of use is not there. The charger is heavy and the cable is stiff, making it hard to get the disc to stay put on a table or nightstand. The disc is also considerably bigger in diameter than other Apple Watch charging cables. That means it will not fit int the holes cut out in any watch charging stand, which rendered it pretty useless to me.

Inexpensive, great picture
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
Acer makes fantastic monitors. They make solid budget products that offer great quality. 23" is a sweet spot for a dual monitor setup, and the tiny bezel on this model is perfect for side by side use. No vesa mounting on this model, this is strictly for desktop use. IPS means your viewing angle is pretty much infinite. The footprint of this monitor is very small because the depth is nearly nothing. Tilt, no height adjustment but height was right for me. VGA and HDMI inputs--no DP. Colors are true and vibrant.

Big footprint, gets the job done
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
First of all, I am a Lenovo fan. I have always had good luck with their laptops and desktops in personal and professional environments. This desktop provides the trouble-free, just works experience expected. My only "con" with it is the one common to all consumer desktops; the manufacturer bloatware. Once this is cleared off, the machine zooms quietly and efficiently through its paces and makes for a pleasant, if not powerhouse experience. With most day to day storage and actions done in the cloud these days, it is not necessary to have a powerhouse household PC. This one does give a bit more than most by having 1GB dedicated graphics instead of relying on inferior onboard video processing. Streaming services benefit from this upgrade, and since we use this PC to frequently watch movies and sports on a big screen, that boost is appreciated. I prefer a smaller footprint, but the box is sleek and inobtrusive, sturdy quality inherent to Lenovo products. Perfect for routine household or home office use and for light entertainment--not for gaming.

Bose sound--truly wireles
on October 4, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I have the "wireless" Soundsport buds, and I like those. I have been waiting for Bose to release a truly wireless (no wire connecting the buds) product all year. These sound as great as you'd expect from Bose --far superior to the most popular competitor air pods. To me, sound from Bose is a no brainer, the form and function are the variables. Soundsport Free is truly Soundsport with no wire--same basic size and shape (in fact a tad larger). The volume control and function toggle are all in the right bud. Controls are simple to find and logical. one press pauses, two presses next song, three for previous, press and hold for Siri or Google, and various combinations of presses for conference calls, etc. Construction is super solid--almost too solid on the volume buttons, as they are sometimes difficult to press. The charging case is about the size of two coffee pods stacked end to end, and feels solid as well, with a soft satin finish. You can tell how much juice you have without opening the case. The buds are magnetically seated into the case to charge. They are off when charging, and automatically on and paired when taken out of the case. Battery life seems true to about 5 hours per charge. The BEST thing about these (beside the whole truly wireless) is the BT connectivity. Nothing is quite as frustrating as losing your signal every time you put your phone is a certain pocket, or every time you turn a certain way. This is the first pair of BT buds I have used that have not cut out on me at some point. Being truly wireless with Bose quality sound and build is incredible, if a bit pricey.

Great inexpensive VR experience
on October 3, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
First note that this works with just a smartphone AND with Merge Goggles. The phone only thing is cool, but nowhere near as fun as the immersion brought when using the Goggles with the Cube. This piece of foam made me feel old and like a kid all at one time. It really is just a foam cube with hieroglyphics all over it. It's a bit larger than a Rubick's Cube and very comfy in the hand. As soon as you load a Merge Cube VR app on your phone and go through the very simple steps of scanning the cube, you forget the cube itself. Instead you are physically holding a Pirate's spyglass, or a fuzzy pet, or an entire city block in your hand. The visual trips up your tactile side of the brain, and it feels like you're holding the object you're seeing. I played a hidden object game where I was searching for objects on another planet in 3D--IN MY HAND. Pass and play games take on a whole new facet when used with the Cube as well. There is no way to fully appreciate the experience if you haven't done it.

So Much FUN
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I got this on a lark just to see what all the fuss was about. It seemed like a clunky but cheap way to get a VR experience, but better than cardboard. The Goggles are well thought out from a design standpoint, and surprisingly comfortable. Taking them off and on every time you want to switch to another app is cumbersome, but right now, that's just how it is. The straight VR and 360 degree videos are cool to watch and experience(there are hundreds on YouTube), but add the Merge Cube, and you have a load of plain old FUN in your hands! I can't believe how "real" the experience is. As more devs work on the games and experiences around Cube, the graphics will become more and more sophisticated I'm sure. I am shocked that I can experience "real VR" so inexpensively. Kids and adults will have fun with the Goggles and especially the Merge Cube. Holding a city in your hand and looking for hidden objects in 3 dimensions is a little mid-blowing, coming from the generation who put so much hope into a plastic "VR Glove" back in the 80's and 90's, this is beyond awesome. I would recommend both pieces to anyone of any age--oh, and rest assured you will look like an idiot wearing a box on your head and playing with a foam piece, but it's well worth it.

Bad*** router for games
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
The technology behind this bad boy is as slick as it looks. It knows to route game stream packets above all others, and it does it with gusto! That's the bottom line you're paying extra for, and it works exactly as it should. Right out of the box, this is geared to gamers. The shape and sleek black casing looks like my Alienware desktop. Also right out of the box is the ease of setup I am accustomed to from Linksys. No technical acumen is required, because the routing priority is preconfigured. Plug and play. I found it such a relief that he signal is so strong I don't need the access points upstairs in the loft. Get it on your network, and start playing!
