This power pack will come in handy when I go camping and I’m off grid for the week/weekend. Even if you forget your iPhone cable there’s a pretty high probability that someone will have one you can borrow. The Apple Watch is not as prevalent yet and is harder to find a cable if you forget. I charged my series 4 Apple Watch from 22% to a full charge in a little less than 2 1/2 hours and the power pack only dropped down by one light or about 25%. Outdoor adventures, power outages, or just general travel this will definitely come in handy!

So I love the fact you don’t need to have a monthly or a yearly subscription like pretty much all other video doorbells. Only thing that would make it even better is if it had a micro SD card slot, so you could access your video immediately.
So let’s start with the pros.
No subscription, you can access your videos with free cloud storage and you can save them to your device.
Easy to install, I had it up and running in about 20 minutes from removing the old doorbell, installing this one and setting it up on my network.
Very good video quality even at night, by default it’s set to 720p, but can easily be changed to 1080p in the app.
The App works great and there’s even an iPad version that’s not just a blown up iPhone app. You can easily change numerous settings and you have a rainbow of colors to choose from for the LEDs.

Now the bad or not so good.
Motion detection even at its highest setting you pretty much have to be within a few feet of it to detect you the majority of the time. So if you’re using to catch that package thief, it might not!
Though the install is easy the bottom screw that you use to attach the doorbell to the baseplate, you need to be careful not to over tighten it or make sure it’s fully seated . If you do it can break the tab that holds the doorbell in place, they should definitely redesign this.
Sometimes it shows “last capture” @ 4:44 for example and then when you go to your activity tab, there’s no video showing for that time. I think that’s more a cloud/account issue, with how long it takes to receive it.

Overall, I’m very happy with it for how I’ll be using it. My primary need is a deterrent and also to be able to talk and see who’s at the door when someone rings it. If the motion detection was a little better it would definitely be a five star product.

Enjoy wireless device charging with this versatile Belkin BOOST UP charging dock. A 7.5W charging pad rapidly powers up a variety of iPhones, while a 5W magnetic charging module does the same for your Apple watch. This Belkin BOOST UP charging dock features a 5W USB-A port for charging compatible devices and comes with a compact AC adapter for quick installation.

If you use this dock next to your bed like I do, the design let’s you use your phone without having to remove it from the dock while charging! This has been one of the things I’ve hated about the majority of wireless charging docks, you can’t really use it while charging like you can when using a cable.
The charge dock itself feels very premium, just like my other Belkin products. The charging indicator light is on the side so your phone hides it at night. Standing in portrait mode while charging, the phone feels very secure on the dock. It charges the phone @ 7.5w which I believe is the max allowed by Apple and the watch charges @ 5w. It charged my watch from dead to fully charged in a little over an hour. Your devices will get warm when charging, but that’s the way it is with all wireless chargers I’ve used. You know when purchasing a Belkin product you’re getting quality that matches the product it’s charging, and this dock is no different.

Shoot and print 8MP photos with this Canon IVY camera. Images print in under 50 seconds for minimal waiting, while the 2-inch mirror helps produce excellent selfies. The tear-resistant, water-resistant peelable photo paper has an adhesive background for fast application. This microSD-compatible Canon IVY camera supports up to 256GB of added storage.

If you purchase this for novelty or for a young child then I could recommend it. Being able to print your photos and have them as stickers is cool. Scrapbooking, parties or just as a keep sake and I think you’ll be happy with the photos. The camera isn’t bad but isn’t great, it’s really best used in good lighting even when using the flash. My biggest issue with this camera is that there is no way to preview the photo before it prints, even if you use an SD card. Removing the paper and having only the SD card in it, won’t allow you to take the photo and save it to the SD card either. I know back in the day you couldn’t preview your photo, but when marrying old tech with new, this to me seems like an oversight. The biggest reason, the paper is not cheap, the paper runs about $25 for 50 or $.50 each if it’s not on sale. You should have been able to turn on/off a “preview photo before print” feature within the app. I’m not sure if Canon can implement this through a software update, but if they can that would be very huge. This one feature alone could save people a lot of wasted paper. When using this to print photos from your phone, you can obviously do this and change things about the photo, why Canon did not at least add the option to do that in the app is beyond me. This may seem like it would be redundant since you could just take it with your phone, but you would at least not waste a lot of paper on bad photos. With that said, if you’re mainly going to print photos from your phone, you might as well just buy the printer and save some money. I have and love the Canon ivy printer and was hopeful for this, but not at least having the option to preview your photo before you waste paper is a let down.

Listen to music with improved quality using this Sony XB22 portable speaker. The LIVE SOUND feature provides a three-dimensional sound experience and broadcasts music to a large area for a concert-type feel, while the EXTRA BASS boost improves low-end tones. This Sony XB22 portable speaker is convenient to use with a variety of devices with Bluetooth capabilities.

Like it’s predecessor the XB22 is the prefect speaker for the pool and definitely the beach. The XB22 is even better for the beach than the previous model since it’s salt water resistant. The sound is clean and powerful for a little speaker. When you need something more than what your phone or tablet can handle, these are perfect travel speakers. The speaker on the XB22 is a little bit bigger than it’s predecessor but I don’t think you’ll be able to tell the difference. Small, lightweight, waterproof, dust proof and now salt water resistant. These really are the prefect speakers for the beach or whenever you’re near water.

This Sony EXTRA BASS high-power audio system can be set vertically or horizontally for added flexibility. You can even sing along with your favorite tunes with the built-in mic input.

When there's a party this is the speaker to have, one sounds impressive and with party chain multiple ones would rock! The “extra bass” designation definitely fits with this one, because you can definitely feel the bass. It won’t knock pictures off the wall, but if you live in an apartment your neighbors will probably complain! I haven’t heard another Bluetooth speaker at this price with this kinda bass. This speaker has no problem with rap, R&B or other bass heavy music. It’s big and it’s a little heavy but the handle makes moving it easy. I love the fact that it has a radio tuner, something that makes this more of a whole home audio system that’s easy to move. You access the fm radio thru the Sony app, which you use also to control the lights and other functions. The lights have 12 different settings or can be turned off completely. The speaker feels well built and solid. With the app you can turn the speaker off, but you can’t turn it on, this would be my one knock. Portable Bluetooth speaker...or home audio system, this one definitely blurs the line. As long as I had a power source I’d have no problem taking this one with me. Very good sound, nice bass and cool lights, this is my speaker for summer cookouts and party’s on the deck!

Cordless cleaning made easier. The Dyson V11 Animal cordless vacuum intelligently optimizes suction and run time to deep clean everywhere.
Posted by: Linksys
from Richmond,VA
If you’ve wanted a cordless vacuum or have been intrigued by them, but have had concerns with battery life, the wait is over. My first Dyson product was the V8 animal that I still have and use on a regular basis and after two years it’s still an awesome vacuum. When I first got it my concerns were the short battery life on high and the non replaceable battery. The battery after two years hasn’t been an issue like I thought it would be and it still holds a charge the same as day one. The Dyson V8 has enough suction on the low setting for carpets that you don’t need the high setting most of the time except for the really tough stuff. Dyson hit a solid double maybe a triple with the V8, with the V11 its a Grand Slam!
To start off, the new power head and auto mode is a game changer. When you go from hardwood/tile to carpet, it automatically switches and increases the suction. This is very noticeable, this thing has some major suction in the auto mode to where I never felt the need to use Boost. For most bathroom mats don’t use anything except Eco mode, it’s just to powerful. The three modes are Eco, Auto and Boost. I was able to completely vacuum a 3000sf house with most of the base boards and the steps with still one bar left on the battery in Auto mode. A nice addition to the V11 is the addition of a two piece tool holder that attaches to the tube. This little addition is a welcome add on that I missed on the V8. All of the attachments from the V8 work with the V11 which is nice.
The future is cord free and Dyson is in a solid potion to lead it with this Vacuum, it really is that good. I was skeptical when I first got the V8, but two years later I can say it has been an awesome vacuum. I’ll keep my V8 for light task but the V11 is now the King of the house. I was skeptical if the V8 at the time was worth the steep price, with the V11 there’s no such concern. This thing is worth every penny and then some! From Bluetooth headphones to power tools to vacuums, its time to cut the cord, and for Vacuums the Dyson V11 is the current King, Bar None!

Listen to music the smart way with this black Acton II Voice speaker. It has three Class D amplifiers for high-quality sound and multi-room capabilities so you can listen wherever you are in your house. The built-in Amazon Alexa of this compact Acton II Voice speaker lets you control your playlist with your voice.

The Acton ll packs a nice punch that is almost comparable to its big brother the Stanmore ll. Just like the Stanmore ll, the Acton ll doesn’t distort even at top volume. Listening to Metallica Unforgiven, Coldplay Midnight and a Chris Cornell cover of Sinead O’ Connors Nothing compares 2 you, will show you the Acton’s depth. I’ve got Bluetooth speakers bigger than this without the clarity and depth. It’s not gonna rattle any pictures off the wall but just like it’s big brother this little thing has room/small house filling sound. Soon Marshall will update the Alexa line of speakers to connect together so you can do multi room audio. There’s just certain designs that are timeless and the classic Marshall amp design is one. The Acton ll has competition with Bluetooth speakers that sound nearly as good or maybe even better to some people, what the competition doesn’t have is the Marshalls looks. I use Alexa on my Acton ll and Stanmore ll to do simple functions such as playing music and such, so I can’t speak of how Alexa is with broader functionality on them. So, for what I need, Alexa works perfectly on them. If you want a Bluetooth speaker that has excellent sound and looks, the Marshall line is where you need to look.

Stay motivated throughout workouts and outdoor excursions when you listen to music on these Jaybird RUN XT wireless earbuds. The interchangeable tips and fins let you find the perfect fit, while the waterproof, sweat-proof design stands up to outdoor use. These Jaybird RUN XT wireless earbuds feature a fast-charge battery, which delivers an hour of playback with just five minutes of charging.

My first Jaybird product and I was so impressed with them I went out and bought a pair for my girlfriend. I’ve had a love hate relationship with this design of headphones, but these I absolutely love. They’re comfortable in my ear and they don’t fallout. This is first set of in ear headphones my girlfriend has used and actually liked! The music quality is some of the best I’ve heard from in ear headphones and sound quality from calls is easily on par with any of its competitors. With the Jabra app you can customize the sound or use one of the preset EQ settings. One thing I love about them is when you pull one headphone out of your ear the music doesn’t stop playing. Some people may not like this but I personally do. It’s especially handy when you’re on a call and have to pull an ear bud out to talk to someone, the sound doesn’t switch back to your phone like some competitors will do. It still uses Bluetooth 4.1 but I’ve had no connectivity issues wether the phone is in my back pocket or it’s in the other room 25 feet away. If I had any knocks it would be they’re not Bluetooth 5.0, no usb-c and you can’t use the left by itself. They’re priced right in the sweet spot of the market and the price is justified, they’re worth the money! Even though I’ve never had any issues with my other headsets with sweat while working out, it’s nice knowing these are certified sweat and waterproof. Comfortable fit, great sound and call quality, waterproof and excellent battery life (5 minute charge gives 1 hour of playback). If you’re someone that hasn’t accepted that headphone jacks are dead, when you finally do, the Jabra Run XT Bluetooth headphones should be on your short list when you finally cut the cord!

Only at Best BuyRecord your every move on the road with this Rexing V1 Plus dash cam. Front-facing and rear-facing mount options let you choose the angle you want to capture, and the viewing screen means this dash cam can double as a backup camera. With included mounting materials, this Rexing V1 Plus dash cam is easy to install.

Rexing isn’t a name most people know of including me. But, I’m sure glad I do now. The camera and video recording are top notch for the price. Once you familiarize yourself with the controls it’s very simple to operate. It comes with a 32gb card which is plenty of storage, I decided to purchase a 128gb card since prices are so cheap now. The device will automaticity delete old content if your memory card fills up, so if you use the 32gb card you don’t have to worry about constantly clearing out old videos. 128gb is the highest capacity card you can use, which is more than plenty. It comes with a cigarette lighter adapter which is the way I hooked it up, and a permanent adapter that you hook up to the vehicles fuse box. Dash cams have become more and more popular because of YouTube and Russian dash cam videos. Stuff isn’t as crazy here as they are over there, but it still is nice having something recording if someone tries to make a false claim against you. The whole device itself is very inconspicuous and most people won’t even notice it. If you have a car like mine where the ports are still powered when the vehicle is off, it will continue recording when your car is parked. This is nice if something happens when your vehicle is parked. Don’t overlook this brand when shopping for a dash cam, it’s top notch.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.

Googles first attempt at their own phone (software/ hardware developed by Google) is a solid homerun, even though it has a few shortcomings!
The hardware; at least to me is absolutely beautiful and on par with any of the top cellphone manufacturers out there. The software; is so smooth and buttery, there literally is no lag! It reminds me of iOS in the early days. The screen at 5 inches is a sweet spot, though I love bigger screens, it's a nice comprise especially if you want a big screen but dont have big hands.
If you are a died in the wool Android person, this phone is an excellent choice when considering a new phone. The price could be a shortcoming for some, and the lack of headphones baffles me especially when you're competing with the big manufacturers. 32 gb may not seem like a lot of storage these days, but Google gives you unlimited photo and video cloud storage for all taken on the Pixel.
Google should be very proud of this phone and anyone should put it on their short list when searching for a phone.

I understand and know there has been Nexus devices for years that run stock android. But all reports from plenty of sources ( The Verge, Andriod Central, Droid Life and so on) have indicated that the Pixel is the FIRST phone where Google designed the hardware and software to work together like Apple does with the iPhone. Even though HTC made the hardware.

I got my first Bluetooth headphones 2 years ago with the Beats solo2 headset. As much as I liked them having the wire between the two could still be a pain at times depending on what you're doing. The new AirPods are phenomenal from the sound quality, ease of use and just the general quality. These are my new go to headphones, I love the fact I can just use one at a time if I want and the fact the case is a battery also so it charges them when you place them in the case. Worth every cent!

Until Apple fixes the issue with these disconnecting from calls while using a 6s and 6s plus avoid these. I'm on my second pair and they both would randomly disconnect while talking.

What are the differences between Xbox 360 and Playstation 3?
I am trying to decide if I should buy a Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3? I wanted to know the differences between them
I have both and barely play the ps3. The differences between the two are, The ps3 has built in wifi, has the ability to browse the web, bluray, and online is free. 360- you have to pay for xbox live gold membership(silver membership is free) it is worth it though. The 360 has a much better controller, after a while the ps3 controller buttons start to stick. The 360 has better exclusives ( though there are some potentially good ones coming to the ps3).Xbox live marketplace is second to none, netflix tons of arcade games and just all around more fun.
