Outstanding and Stylish Hand Blender!
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I have used different brands of blenders and KitchenAid - Hand Blender - Ink Blue Blender is a very compact and stylish look. It came with a KitchenAid blender, Stainless steel hand blender arm (20.3 cm), Pan guard, and Beaker (700 ml) with lid. It blends milkshakes, smoothies, soups, and sauces. The removable 8-inch stainless steel blending arm with a variable speed trigger delivers quality output. The 3-cup BPA-free blending jar is a nice add-on to store smoothies for later use. 5' power cord is the perfect size to use it in a flexible range.
For blending, Insert the Hand Blender into the mixture. Press the Variable speed controller to start. Use your free hand to cover the top of the blending jar for better stability and avoid splashing. It blends fruits, vegetables, and shakes very nicely. With 180 watts power, it blends tough ingredients to get perfect shakes and juices. The blender is very easy to use with one touch and very easy to clean and it is dishwasher safe as well. I have been using this every day to make shakes and juices. I am impressed with the outcome of shakes and juices and highly recommend to everyone.

Great for the gym, work, walks and hikes—or for simply enjoying at home.

Outstanding Multifunctional 3in1 Digital Air Fryer
on September 15, 2020
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Chefman Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie, Dehydrator, Oven, 14 Cooking Presets, XL 10L Family Size in an excellent Air Fryer with so many built-in features. It came with 3 removable racks, a Rotisserie basket, a Drip tray, a Retrieval tool, and Rotisserie spit. It is a versatile multi-functional air fryer with Rotisserie and Dehydrator Function handles any cooking, baking, or air frying task, creating the crispy fried texture with little or no oil. It has rapid air technology and a high-speed convection system to get a crispy fried texture.
It has a large 10-liter capacity and 14 preset options for air fry, roast, dehydrate, bake and reheat. It has an interior light and can be used while cooking. The accessories are very easy to clean and they are dishwasher safe. We have cooked fries, onion rings and banana and all came out very crisp and the taste is awesome. We are using this air fryer daily to cook crisp foods by using hot air rather than a lot of messy/unhealthy oil. It cooks really fast.
The controls are very easy to set temperature and time with digital display. The design is very elegant. There is no user manual inside the box and it can be obtained from the Chefman website. This fryer can be used to Fry, Bake, Grill, and Roast. I have registered on the Chefman website and there is a lot of useful information about new recipes. We tried chicken, fish, tenders, and French fries. All came out the crispy and fried texture.
Overall, it is an excellent product for cooking and definitely a great alternative for deep frying.

Outstanding Racing Wheel / Pedal for Xbox and PC!
on September 1, 2020
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I was looking for a racing wheel with pedals for Xbox one and got the Logitech racing wheel with pedals. It came with excellent packing and included with Logitech G923 Racing Wheel for Xbox One and PC, Pedals, Power supply, and Owner's manual. Setup is quick and easy with the instruction sheet. I have connected all the cables to the wheel and connected the USB cable from the steering wheel to Xbox one. The wheel and pedals are built with excellent quality. Without any additional setup, Xbox one recognized the wheel.
I have played various car games like Forza Horizon 4 and 7. It took some time to get adjusted with the wheel and pedal as I was using only Xbox controllers until now. The gaming experience with this device is mind-blowing. I felt like driving a sports car on racing. I have placed the pedal on the carpet instead of the hardwood floor to avoid any movement or scratches on the hardwood floor. It stayed really well on the carpet and did not move at all. The wheel controller has a much better response than the regular Xbox controller. My kids are using this racing wheel and pedals more than Xbox controllers now.
Logitech - G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals is a must-have item for Xbox one with features like force feedback, refreshed Logitech G design with the brushed metal wheel, hand-stitched leather wheel cover, and polished metal pedals.

The bedroom is really dark and it gradually increases the light and gets brighter after a specific time and adjustments can be done on how much brightness needed for the wakeup schedule. The light guided wind-down function is working well and I was able to get into sleep with 10 mins now.
The smart touch display is very responsive and display quality could have better. The speaker quality is good. PowerBackup+ option is a great feature. At the event of power failure, the internal clock and backup alarm remain active for 8 hours. Snoozing can be done by taping the top of the sleep and wake up light.

Outstanding Tilt-Head Stand Mixer!
on July 13, 2020
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
We have been looking to buy Tilt-Head Stand Mixer and got KitchenAid - K45SSOB Classic Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Onyx Black. The packing was really good and came with Coated Flat Beater, Coated Dough Hook, 6-Wire Whip.
The 4.5-quart stainless steel mixing bowl and 10 speeds easily mix, kneads, and whips the ingredients really well. We have used this mixer to prepare the batter for cake and knead the dough for rottis. The 4.5-Quart. Stainless Steel Bowl is the perfect size to mix dough for 6 dozen cookies, 3 loaves of bread or 6 pounds of mashed potatoes in a single batch. The flat beater and dough hook are dishwasher-safe.
The 59-Point Planetary Mixing Action provides 59 touchpoints per rotation around the bowl for thorough ingredient incorporation. The beater, dough hook, or wire whip rotates around the bowl, giving incredible bowl coverage for comprehensive mixing. The 10 Speeds are powerful enough for nearly any task or recipe, stirring wet and dry ingredients together, kneading bread dough or whipping cream.
Soft Start is a nice feature to avoid ingredient splash & flour puff by starting at a lower speed. We have been using this mixer every week and really impressed with the output. The dough came out really well and rottis are way softer than before. KitchenAid makes quality products for the kitchen and this mixer is another great product from them. It is definitely a must-have product for every kitchen.

Outstanding cordless chopper!
on July 12, 2020
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
We were using a large chopper until now and looking for small chopper especially for trips. KitchenAid - 38-Oz. Chopper is an excellent choice. Setup is quick and easy. It came with KitchenAid KFCB519BM, Stainless steel blade, whisk disc, Power adapter, and Storage case. This is a battery powered chopper and it is very convenient to use outdoor. We have used it during a recent camp trip. It is very compact and lightweight. I did full charge before first use and it took close to 2 hours.
I have used to chop onions, tomatoes, coconut to make chutney. The paste output is outstanding. It is very quiet compared to other choppers. The Stainless steel blade provides flexible processing options and blade is very sharp to chop everything. The 5 cup capacity is the perfect size to prepare large recipes.
It is dishwasher safe and easy to clean as well. We are using this chopper every day for cooking and loved it. We are impressed with the quality and durability of KitchenAid chopper and looking to buy more products from KitchenAid.

Beautiful and stylish mini fridge!

Posted by: Selva

We have been looking for a small fridge and got Galanz - Retro 2.5 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge. The price is reasonable and very easy to setup.
It came with excellent packing. After unpacking from the box, I have installed the door handle, removed all stickers, and plugged the power cord. I have adjusted the knob and set to coldest. The fridge is very small and it has a stunning retro look. It has vibrant color. It is running very quiet and yearly electricity will be less than 30$.
This fridge holds a lot of items and does not occupy much space in the dining room. I am impressed with the build quality, retro look, and easy to use features on this mini fridge from Galanz. I will be buying one more for my game room and highly recommend this mini-fridge.

Not worth for the price
By Jacobs from CA
I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:
+ RT-66R has excellent consistent connection
+ R8000 has excellent consistent connection as well at full speed by ISP
Wireless 5.0 Ghz Second Connection:
- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)
+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
Wireless 2.4 Ghz:
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.
-R8000 – did not bother to check as soon as I read that it does not support mobile devices using same OpenVPN platform.
LED Control:
- RT-66R – Not applicable (missing feature)
+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:
+RT-66R allow you to create a personal cloud with your router with AiCloud application. I am able to enjoy my music and movies over AiCloud on the move.
- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.
Customer service:
+ Asus- Never had to call them. No subscription fee, 24/7 free support (as far as you are within product warranty).
- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.
Contact Netgear Support
September 1, 2014
Hi Jacobs,
Please reach out to Netgear Support. I had similar issue in my home (2800 square feet) during the setup and Support asked me to change settings in Router page and now i am getting superior coverage in 2.4 and 5 Ghz for all 17 connected devices.

Outstanding 2-in-One Tablet‎ from Samsung
By Selva from Chander AZ
There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.

How can I order this so it arrives just in time for Christmas as it only has a 15 day return policy right?

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?

Yes. It is much better than X6 or X8. I am getting 300+ mbps in all over the places in my house.

Can you use with comcast.

Yes. It will work with any ISPs. You just need to connect router with your modem and during setup it will identify the satellite as well.
