Quick and Simple Set Up
on August 1, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
The Logitech Circle 2 Wire Free Camera is a second generation product, and it shows. Instructions are pretty sparse, because, quite frankly, detailed instructions are not needed to have this product up and running. I had it out of the box and connected to my Wi-Fi network in less than 10 minutes.
The wide angle picture is quite detailed and offers a clear view of the area being observed. I have not yet used it outdoors, but it could be used for for that purpose as it is designed for all weather applications.
The camera has a short usb charging cord, which concerned me at first, because I assumed the camera needed a constant power source. Wrong. This wireless model fully charged overnight, and can be moved around from place to place for up to three months before having to be recharged.
Using the Logitech software, I am able to monitor the live picture from virtually anywhere in the world, and, for that matter, have two-way voice communication through the camera. Nice.

For approximately $100 a year, more extensive monitoring services, including greater storage time, can be had. You are limited to 24 hours of activity without subscribing to the more extensive service and storage.
This security camera works like a charm and is dead simple to use. I love it.

Get Big Sony Sound From Your Small TV
on June 6, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
This Sony soundbar really served its purpose. I had it out of the box, hooked up and running within 15 minutes of cutting the package tape!
We had a Sharp 32 inch Roku TV in the bedroom on top of a chest of drawers. The black soundbar fit nicely and unobtrusively on top and in front of the TV. The wireless sub-woofer went behind a love seat and is totally hidden.
This is a 2.1 soundbar, and it projected a clean stereo image with nice, non- boomy bass. The Roku sound was not bad for a tv, but the soundbar was an instant and welcome improvement. Listening to music was a joy as well. I was able to easily pair my android phone with the blue tooth radio in the bar, and stream songs stored on the phone or through the phone's music streaming apps. You can also plug in a USB stick and the bar can read and play the songs on it without your TV being on.
My initial hook up with the TV to the sound bar was via the furnished optical digital cable. That worked fine, but I then substituted an HDMI cable (not included) and was able to use the ARC feature over HDMI to send sound to the bar from the TV and also control the volume on the sound bar, using the TV volume control via CEC. Nice. The Sony remote is still available to adjust sub-woofer volume and select the inputs on the sound bar.
I am very pleased and expect to have a lot of pleasurable listening from this compact sound bar and sub-woofer for years to come.

Compact, Precise, Powerful
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
This is a upright vacuum. Well, yes, that's true, but you can also separately purchase a caddie so it can be used as like a canister vacuum with a powerful sweeper. I did not have the caddie, so I used the Lift-Away in its "native" configuration.
I have never been more impressed with a vacuum. It shines a merciless LED in front of the sweeper, so that the dirt, lint, cat or dog hair or any other substance in the way is swept into the clear canister. The results are there to observe after one session. This unit picks up so much stuff that you'll have to empty the canister often, and the process is quite easy.
It comes with a handy black bag full of attachments which aid in getting in every crevice you can imagine. You can also lift the vacuum unit off the handle to run the sweeper under a chair or couch. That's a very useful feature.
The power cord is nice and long and wraps around the cleats on the handle for storage.
We have a maid who helps us on occasion, and brings her own vacuum. But the last time she visited, her vacuum was on the fritz, and she used the Shark. She simply loved it!
A lot of sound engineering went into this unit. I was able to get it out of the box and put together in 10 minutes. It has a user washable filter, and given it's pickup power, it needs to be washed at least monthly.
The vacuum works so well, and is so easy to use, I sometimes find myself looking for an excuse to vacuum! I am serious. I can't say enough about the product.
Highly recommended!

Organizational Skills
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
I have always been intimidated by this software's big brother, Photoshop CC, the mainstay of professional photographers, and way above my pay grade. This program, while powerful, is much more approachable to me, an amateur photographer with thousands, and I mean thousands, of (formerly) unorganized family photographs going back approximately 13 years.
I have been spending the last several weeks using this program to simply organize my photographs. It has face recognition ability, which, although not 100 per cent accurate, is a huge help in being able to identify every existing photo of a particular family member.
Unless you can find a photograph you need, the photo is useless to you. This program will help you find it quickly.
This program also contains editing and enhancement tools that are extremely useful, with only a slight learning curve to grasp the fundamentals. I suspect that some will find them so useful and become so adept using them, they'll graduate to to "the big brother" Photoshop. Not me. This program is more than enough for my needs.
It may test your resources, though. I am running Windows 10 on an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 6-Core Processor and writing to an SSD for my organizational and editing work. I found my rig occasionally slowing a bit to handle tasks with Elements. The results were more than enough to justify the slight delay!

Battery life, Battery life, Battery life.
on December 7, 2016
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
I love this unlocked phone and got it after reading reviews here and in other publications. The biggest selling point is its remarkable battery life. For the first time with any smartphone, I can go all day on a charge, and have plenty of battery life left without recharging, and I am a heavy user.
The phone is well- built and attractive with glass front and back and with a metal frame. Of course, it also accepts the Moto Mods. I did not get the Incipio battery back from Best Buy when I bought the phone, but added it later from another vendor. With the back, I can easily go three full days of use without recharging. Once you have experienced that convenience, you will be hard-pressed to ever give it up.
The 5.5 inch screen is gorgeous, and I am very satisfied with the camera. Some reviews seem more critical of the camera performance than I have experienced. In broad daylight, or well-lighted scenes, it is the equal of any smartphone camera I have used. No, it is not iPhone or Samsung Galaxy quality in low light, but I think it does quite adequately, and I am comparing it to any smartphone I have ever owned.
Reception is crisp and clear, and I simply removed my AT&T nano SIM from my Galaxy s6 and popped it into this phone, which instantly registered on the network with not one second's delay.
I am anxious to try some more of the Moto Mods, and really like this phone. Well built, beautiful, and highly recommended. Way to go Moto!

It's single serve, but that's what I needed!
on September 28, 2016
Posted by: mobilelawyer
I doubt it will save me any money, but it sure brews a quick, rich cup of coffee, and I love it.
It comes with a permanent filter, but you can use a paper filter if you prefer. The scoop mounts on the device, so you never lose it. You can select cup sizes up to a large travel size travel mug. The reservoir is totally removable and that is a great convenience when it comes time to fill it.
I am the only coffee drinker in the morning, and I am accustomed to brewing a whole 10-cup carafe, only to drink a small portion. I don't have to throw away product every morning anymore with this machine. But, the recommended portion of drip coffee, I must say, is almost as much as I used in the other machine for a full carafe. I don't care. I have never been disappointed with this product. You can preheat to make the cup in three minutes. You can select a regular or richer brew. There is a selection knob for the various cup sizes.
One caveat. A cup or mug with a handle, or that is insulated, is almost a necessity. I ceramic mug without a handle is simply too hot to pick up after a brew cycle. And there is no warmer, because there's nothing to keep warm. You wind up with a steaming hot cup of coffee, ready to consume.
This machine also has a fancy agitator to make lattes and those fancy coffees I never drink. Great for those who would use that feature- I do not.
This product was furnished to me at no cost in exchange for my honest review. You could not buy it back from me for the retail price. It is that good, that practical, and that convenient.
A definite keeper and highly recommended.

Piece of Cake
on June 22, 2016
Posted by: mobilelawyer
This wireless range extender works well, and could not have been easier to set up. I used it with my Netgear router (your router does not have to be a Linksys). No configuration was necessary. None. My router had, as many newer ones do, a WPS "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" button. You press it, go through a process confirmed by colored lights, and your device is joined to the network. If you have both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz networks you go through the process twice to join both bands. This is done while you have the device within a few feet of the router. When completed, you then move the router to a location where you want to have it act as a hotspot to extend your wi-fi range. I took my device upstairs where I needed a stronger signal. As instructed, I plugged it into the wall. A yellow light blinks while it connects. If the light turns solid green, you are connected. You login to wi-fi using the same passwords as you do for your router. Using several android apps to show relative wi-fi strength, I got a much stronger and reliable signal upstairs. Then I went downstairs and sat on the couch 10 feet from the router. The extender signal strength equaled or exceeded the strength of the signal from the router. I was amazed. The device can also be used as a wired range extender. Since my house is not cabled with ethernet, that option was not useful for me. In trying various locations, I discovered that I could not move the router to the other end of my 2200 square foot house. I could not get a green light there. I did discover, however, that sometimes I could not get a green light, but the RE 7000 was still working. So I was not able, with only one of these devices, to get seamless roaming throughout the house. That function is only promised with supported Linksys routers, according to the instructions. I could not be more pleased with this product. Push a couple of buttons, and you will have it set up and working in 10 minutes or less with literally nothing to set up. Great speed and strength of signal. It just works.

Exactly what I wanted at an unbeatable price

I almost bought this laptop new when it went on sale several weeks ago. When I saw I could buy a refurbished model for $579, I pulled the trigger immediately. The laptop is the perfect compromise when you would love to have the light weight of a tablet, but you really need the convenience of a built in keyboard. And you get ultrabook performance to boot!
I could not be more pleased. No blemishes that I could find, and no hiccups in getting the laptop up and working.
Could not be happier.

Highly functional keyboard
on March 2, 2013

from Mobile, Alabama
Got this on sale to use with my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2 at less than half the price of the Lenovo Bluetooth keyboard designed for the tablet. It has nice touch, and all the windows keys and multimedia keys are available though a function key. It actually seems heavier, and it is certainly a little wider than the tablet. I wish it could be smaller and lighter, but I am very pleased with its operation.
What's great about it: All Windows keys are represented
What's not so great: A little heavy

This was my second GPS, so I had a better idea of exactly what I wanted, and the 255wt has filled the bill. Mine came with a neat little friction mount as a part of a package deal which closed the deal for me.
Sometimes hard to read in direct sunlight. Otherwise, efficient and economical operation. Took it on a trip out West, and it did not fail us once.
Not as sophisticated as the more expensive Garmin units, but does not pretend to be. It just gets the job done.

what type of tv has a internal tuner that i don't need converter box [have antenna]
You have to look at the specifications for the set. If it has a tuner, the feature will be listed. Some sets don't have a tuner. My Vizio model does not, and I knew it didn't. I tune my local channels with a TiVo. Silicon Dust makes a variety of boxes that tune both cable and over the air channels. If you have a smart TV, you can simply download an app to stream your local channels from the HD Homerun box.

Simplify device management with this Logitech Harmony Express smart universal remote control. Amazon Alexa is built in, letting you issue voice commands to access entertainment, ask questions and a host of other features. This Logitech Harmony Express smart universal remote control lets you change TV channels, open apps on tablets and tackle numerous other tasks.
Despite numerous requests, I see that both Amazon and Harmony will still not create a remote with number keys. There are apps that you can download for your Amazon Fire TV known as iptv services. But, you can't change channels without number keys!
I am using the Express without a keypad. You speak the channel, and Alexa and Harmony Express pull up the channel, whether you say "Go to Channel 10" or "Go to Fox". But do be advised that I am using a TiVo, where each channel has a specific number.

Enjoy crisp, colorful picture quality with this Full HD HP monitor.

This HP monitor has two HDMI ports for connecting gaming consoles and other devices.
Can this be turned vertically in its stand?
The stand allows the screen to be titled several degrees up and down to suit your viewing angle. It does not allow rotation. To rotate the screen, you would need to rotate the stand, which is not that hard to do because the monitor and stand are relatively light.

Is there a removeable screen protector on the monitor from the manufacturer? It appears to have a removeable film, but I'm worried it's supposed to be there and if I remove it then the monitor will be messed up.
There was no film on mine. The screen has a matte surface, not shiny.

I am attaching a picture with a conventional flashlight at the bottom for size comparison. The smaller SRS-XB21 is on the bottom, and the larger SRS-XB41 is on top. I have both. They each put out sound at a loud volume that belies their respective size, but the SB 41 is bigger with punchier bass, and a higher output. It will fill the largest room with loud, clear, detailed sound.

Will this system transmit Bluetooth signal to my hot tub Bluetooth speakers in my backyard?
From the product product specifications: These features allow you to setup multiple SRS-XB21 (or compatible speakers) together in a chain or specify their position individually. You can add up to 100 speakers it says but I have no way of testing that. It is nice to be able to add 2 of them and specify one for left channel and one for right. Here is a quick list of compatible speakers - SRS-XB21, SRS-XB31, SRS-XB41, SRS-XB20, SRS-XB30, SRS-XB40, GTK-XB60, GTK-XB90.
Are your hot tub speakers on this list above? If not, the answer is "no". But the Bluetooth radios on these units have a good range, and they are portable, so you could simply take the Sony to the hot tub.
