Design:
Along with the TV, you will find a voice remote with Alexa, batteries, TV stand, screws to attach the stand, power cord, and the setup instructions. Setting up this TV was a breeze. The power cord just needs to be attached, then the two stand legs screwed in. Once powered on, there is a brief video overview of the Fire TV features, then you are prompted to set up a Wifi network and install an update. At a little over three inches thick, this TV is sleek, and the edge of the screen has a brushed metal finish, which is a nice touch. On the back, there are three HDMI inputs, an antenna/cable input, a composite video input, two analog audio inputs, a digital output (optical), an ethernet port, USB port, and a headphone jack. I am happy with the number of inputs and like their location. Overall, this is a well-designed TV.

Picture Quality:
With crystal clarity and vivid colors, the picture quality that this TV produces brings shows and movies to life, and video games look fantastic. The LED screen’s resolution is 2160p, and it has a 60Hz panel refresh rate. Whether it is movies, TV shows or video games, the 4K Ultra HD picture quality delivers an immersive and eye-opening viewing experience.

Audio Quality:
Although I use a soundbar most of the time, I decided to turn mine off to effectively review this TV’s audio quality. I am honestly quite impressed. I do not think it will blow you away, but for built-in TV speakers, the audio they produce exceeds my expectations.

Performance:
I am impressed by how fluid and quick navigation and streaming is on this TV. It is powered by a Quad-core CPU/Multi-core GPU, and I have not experienced long load times, lagging or app crashes. Before this TV, my streaming experience was subpar due to performance issues on another device, and I am happy that I no longer have performance issues.

Features:
This is my first TV with the Fire TV experience built in, and I am already a big fan. Upon powering on the TV, the home screen appears where you can choose from many different streaming channels or switch to another input. Everything is unified and well integrated for a seamless experience. The Alexa voice remote is an added convenience that allows you to use your voice to change channels or inputs, launch apps, search for TV shows or movies and more.

Verdict:
This TV has exceeded my expectations, and I believe it proves that a quality 4K smart TV can be affordable too. It is well designed, produces lifelike picture quality and impressive audio for a TV, performs fluidly, and the built-in Fire TV alongside the Alexa voice remote delivers a seamless navigation and viewing experience. If you are looking for a good 4K TV at a reasonable price, I would recommend this one.

Design:
When I saw this Galaxy Watch for the first time, it left a lasting impression. Now that I wear it almost every day, the design still impresses me. With its stainless steel finish and traditional round watch face that is surrounded by a rotating bezel, the Galaxy Watch differentiates itself from its biggest competitor, the Apple Watch. As a previous Apple Watch owner, I can honestly say I envied the round watch face and intricate design of the Galaxy Watch, which makes it look almost exactly like a traditional watch. Features and functionality, which I review in detail below, are important aspects of a smartwatch, but the design is also important to me, and Samsung knocks it out of the park with this latest model.
Performance:
I was skeptical about how well the Galaxy Watch would sync and perform since I am an iPhone owner, but that skepticism quickly went away after using the watch on a regular basis. I have only had to reconnect the watch once, and I think that was because of an issue with my iPhone, which I had to turn off and back on. I have not had any syncing issues since then. Everything runs smoothly with little to no delay while acting on notifications and navigating on the watch. Fortunately, there has been no lag, and all notifications have appeared promptly.
Features:
Among many other great features, the Galaxy Watch excels at fitness tracking. With around 40 workouts that it is capable of tracking at impressive accuracy, this watch is the perfect complement to an active lifestyle. It can also measure heart rate, sleep quality, and even stress levels. Beyond health and fitness, there are many other features that are nice to have, such as “My Day”, which outlines the day ahead with calendar events, reminders and more. Spotify integration, which the Apple Watch lacks, is also admirable. Another feature definitely worth mentioning is the ability to choose between countless watch faces, each with their own unique look and way of displaying unique information. They all look great and the Galaxy Watch’s screen can be set to always on.
Verdict:
After owning the first generation Apple Watch, and comparing it to this Galaxy Watch, I am on team Galaxy Watch now. It is a close comparison, but the traditional watch design with high-quality materials, impressive and unique features, as well as great performance, sets the Galaxy Watch apart.

Design:
As a previous owner of the Jaybird X3 headphones, I am happy that the design of the new X4 model is very similar. I like having the ability to wear the headphones under or over my ears, and the small control module is nonobtrusive and easy to use. What I miss about the X3 headphones is their cable management system that allowed users custom fit the cable behind the neck so that there was minimal to no bouncing while running or working out. While I do like how quick and easy it is to adjust the cable with the speed cinch system of the Jaybird X4 headphones, I preferred the previous model’s cable system. Jaybird made a significant improvement over the X3 headphones by adding IPX7 waterproof certification to this model. While sweatproof coatings often suffice, it is nice knowing that the Jaybird X4 headphones can weather the elements and handle accidental drops into water. Overall, I like the design. My only wish is that clips were included so that the cable management system of the X3 headphones could be used instead of the speed cinch system, if desired.

Performance:
The Jaybird X4 headphones deliver crisp audio with powerful bass. The default setting is great, but there is also an EQ app that allows for customized sound. I enjoyed the ease of testing different sound settings and found the perfect fit for me. Thanks to the Jaybird EQ app, I have a renewed love for some of my favorite songs to run or workout to because of the audio quality these headphones produce. In addition, the audio has never cut out or distorted, even during strenuous workouts, so they perform very well.

Features:
After fully charging the headphones, I got a little less than eight hours of music playback. I am satisfied with that battery life and appreciate how quickly the headphones charge back up. Taking calls is easy with the control module, and I have been told that my voice sounds clear on the other end when I am on a call with someone. The control module also allows users to activate Siri or Google Assistant, and I have found that my questions or requests get picked up by the mic accurately.

Verdict:
If you own the Jaybird X3 headphones and are wondering if upgrading to the X4 model is worth it, I personally do not think it is. There is not quite enough improvement over the X3 headphones. However, if you are looking for a great new pair of headphones for your active lifestyle, I would highly recommend the Jaybird X4 headphones. Along with other admirable qualities, they are well designed, produce great audio, have a long-lasting battery, and they are IPX7 waterproof certified. These headphones do not disappoint.

Finally, Power and Portability in a Gaming Laptop
on August 8, 2018
Posted by: Kelby
from Wichita, KS, USA
Design:
The Lenovo Legion Y530 is a powerful laptop with a sleek design. This is my first gaming laptop, mostly because I had not found a good hybrid between gaming power and portability until now. I find it to be just thin and light enough to consider it portable, which is great because I am on the go quite often. Although color scheme is not a priority of mine, I like the subtle black exterior with a white illuminated keyboard and logo on the lid. Most of the ports are on the back of the laptop, the impressively effective cooling fans are underneath, and the power button is in the middle above the keyboard. Typing and using the various keys on the keyboard is easy thanks to the sufficient spacing and key size. My only complaint is that the touchpad feels a bit awkward to use due to the location, size, and left/right click buttons instead of a touchpad that clicks down, but that feeling has improved as I have gotten used to it. However, while at home, I prefer to use a mouse. Overall, I think the Lenovo Legion Y530 is a well-designed laptop.

Features:
The speakers are good, but I have heard better quality sound on several other similar laptops. If you usually use headphones, this may not matter much, but I was expecting better sound quality, especially since it is highlighted as a feature of this Lenovo Legion Y530. The HD webcam is very clear, so I have no complaints there. Since this is a gaming laptop, there is plenty of memory, a powerful processor, and great graphics on a beautiful display. Even standard use, such as browsing the internet or watching videos, is enjoyable due to the speed and quality of the content displayed on the screen.

Phenomenal Panoramic Sound
on June 29, 2018
Posted by: Kelby
from Wichita, KS, USA
Design:
This soundbar is sleek and well-built with mostly metal and a black finish, so it looks and feels like a premium product. Its low-profile design pairs well with my thin TV and it fits perfectly below. Some soundbars can be a bit too tall or not look good by a TV, but that is not the case for this soundbar. On the right side of the soundbar, there is the power, source, and volume controls, but those can also be controlled from the included remote. Nearby, there is a display that shows the input, volume, or sound mode when changing them. A nice aspect about the display is that it is not always on and blends in to the soundbar so that it is not noticeable. As for the subwoofer, it has basic rectangular design with the same black finish as the soundbar. It is rather large, but for the bass it produces, I do not mind the size. One of my favorite things about the subwoofer design is that it is wireless. You still need to plug it in to a power source, but it being wireless provides a lot of flexibility.

Sound:
I will start by simply saying that the sound produced by this soundbar and subwoofer combo is phenomenal. This is advertised to have “panoramic sound”, and once I tested it with a movie, I believe it truly does produce panoramic sound. Even though the soundbar and subwoofer are both at the front of my living room, it almost sounds as if there are a few more speakers placed throughout the room. The sound is super clear, and the bass is powerful. I am a gamer, so I was excited to try out the game mode, which optimizes the sound of your game, and it did not disappoint. I would not say this is a major selling point, but if you are a gamer, I would highly consider this soundbar. Overall, I have absolutely no complaints about the sound quality. I have owned a couple soundbars in the past, and this one surpasses those by far.

The sound is super clear, and the bass is powerful. I am a gamer, so I was excited to try out the game mode, which optimizes the sound of your game, and it did not disappoint. I would not say this is a major selling point, but if you are a gamer, I would highly consider this soundbar. Overall, I have absolutely no complaints about the sound quality. I have owned a couple soundbars in the past, and this one surpasses those by far.
Verdict:
If you are looking for a sleek soundbar with a powerful subwoofer and panoramic sound, then look no further. This is likely one of the best in the market, and I can say with confidence that you will be very happy to have this soundbar and subwoofer in your home.

Hand Scrubbing and Mopping No More!
on April 19, 2018
Posted by: Kelby
from Wichita, KS, USA
Design:
With the countless number of vacuums on the market, I feel that the amount of effective solutions for hard floor cleaning is lacking. That is one reason why I was excited to see a vacuum-like device made by Bissell hit the market. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised to find many excellent features built into the design. First and foremost, the Bissell SpinWave is cordless and easy to carry around when not in use, so I would consider it convenient. The SpinWave seems well built but also relatively lightweight, which adds to the ease of carrying it from room to room as well as the ability to maneuver it across the floor. Additionally, cleaning around chairs or other objects is simplified by the swivel steering mechanism. Finally, the solution spray button and on/off button are both conveniently located on the handle. I have no complaints about the design.

Other Features:
On a full charge, the SpinWave runs for about 20 minutes. This is sufficient for me, but I need to make sure that I recharge it after every use, and I wish I could get a couple uses out of it before a recharge is needed. However, if one has a smaller surface area to clean in their home, 20 minutes could be enough time for multiple cleaning jobs. There is a battery power indicator to let the user know how much battery is left, which is nice. So far, I have not encountered any issues with the on-demand spray or rotating mop pads. Everything is working as it should.

Effectiveness:
I thought it would be difficult to beat the effectiveness of manual scrubbing and mopping, but the SpinWave does just that. I would say it cleans just as well, if not better than I can do. The two rotating mop pads spin quickly, and there are two distinct mop pad types that allow you to handle any situation. One set is softer and works great for everyday cleaning, and the other is more rigid, which works best on harder to clean messes. For those looking to save time and energy, I do not think the Bissell SpinWave will disappoint. It sure beats hand scrubbing or mopping the floor.

Verdict:
Due to the significant surface area of hard flooring in our home, keeping it clean can be a difficult and time-consuming task. I am thankful to have the Bissell SpinWave now because it is quick and convenient to use, and I do not have to sacrifice effectiveness when compared to manual scrubbing or mopping. My only wish is that the battery life was a little longer, but that is a minor inconvenience for me, and the battery life may be more than sufficient for others depending on how much hard flooring one has. Overall, I would recommend the Bissell SpinWave to anyone with hard floors that desires to clean them with ease. The SpinWave will save time and energy.

Simply Splendid Home Security
on March 14, 2018
Posted by: Kelby
from Wichita, KS, USA
Setup:
SimpliSafe gives you the ability to set up your own home security system, and this was neither difficult nor time-consuming. I actually enjoyed it! Upon opening the box, I found each device to be well-presented and clearly labeled. As expected, there are instructions included, which are clear and concise. Pulling out the plastic tab on each device activates the batteries, then you place each device in the appropriate locations and connect them wirelessly. There is not much more to it than that! The simplicity seemed too good to be true, but it was truly that simple.

The simplicity seemed too good to be true, but it was truly that simple.
Design:
Although I did not own the previous SimpliSafe model, I appreciate the updated design. Unlike the previous model, this system has a modern and minimalistic look to it. Each device is well-designed and discreet. Even after setting everything up, I can hardly notice the system in my home, which is nice. The base station is the largest of the devices and it must be placed on a flat surface but, again, I do not mind having it visible on my living room end table due to the modern, sleek design. It is actually quite comforting to see it and be reminded that SimpliSafe is providing an added layer of security to my home. Something else that I wanted to make sure I mentioned is that the keypad is easy to use. Since this is where the interaction occurs on a daily basis, ease of use was very important to me. I can happily say that the screen is easy to read, the buttons are easy to press and options can be easily navigated

Security:
Thanks to SimpliSafe, I have never felt more secure in my home or while I am away. Each device integrates seamlessly and is very responsive. There is almost no delay between activating the alarm or being notified when a door/window opens. It is also comforting to know that there are a number of backup features like power outage protection, a cellular connection reinforced by Wi-Fi, and the system still notifies authorities if the keypad is damaged by an intruder. There are even more backups in place, so it seems that SimpliSafe has thought of every situation! As a pet owner, I appreciate that the motion sensors can recognize heat signatures of humans and know not to trigger the alarm for pets moving, running, or even jumping around. I also like that you can add additional devices to the security system as desired. There are even home protection devices such as water sensors and smoke detectors. SimpliSafe definitely has you covered when it comes to home security and protection!

Verdict:
Do yourself a favor and invest in a SimpliSafe security system. Whether you just get the basics or upgrade to every device that is offered, you will not be sorry! As someone who has had their home broken into, I would like to say that a home security system is one of the best investments you can make. You may think it could never happen to you, but that is what I thought as well. The heartbreaking feeling and loss of a sense of security when an intruder breaks into your home is something you never fully get over, at least not for quite some time. I wish I would have owned this SimpliSafe security system sooner. It may not have prevented the break-in attempt, but I am confident that it would have certainly deterred the intruder right away and maybe even could have led to an arrest. This system easily deserves a five-star rating!

Hello Alexa, Goodbye Distracted Driving
on February 17, 2018
Posted by: Kelby
from Wichita, KS, USA
Design:
The sleek and cylindrical design of the Garmin Speak Plus minimizes windshield space that is taken up, and the display is just large enough to easily see directions that are displayed. With this being a dashcam, GPS and voice assistant all in one, I am impressed by the small size. What I dislike about the design is the power cord. It plugs into the right side of the Garmin Speak and you must route the cord along the edge of your windshield down to wherever your car’s power supply is. I would recommend putting some thought into where you place the Garmin Speak because, unfortunately, the power cord is quite noticeable. I wish the Garmin Speak could be wireless, but I understand that all the active features would quickly deplete a battery. On the other hand, I do like that you do not have to worry about ever charging it, so the power cord is not all that bad. Overall, the Garmin Speak Plus is a well-designed product that is sleek and practical for a windshield but keep in mind that a power cord will need to be routed to it.

Alexa Voice Assistant:
I quickly realized how beneficial having the Alexa voice assistant in a car could be. Alexa picks up my voice easily and responds quickly. I primarily request directions, additions to my to-do list or shopping list, weather forecasts, and sports scores. Like the in-home version, there is obviously a lot more that Alexa can do. Asking questions and playing games like trivia make extended drives more enjoyable. So far, I have not had any connectivity issues that would inhibit Alexa from responding to my requests.

Dashcam:
The Garmin Speak Plus has impressive video quality and additional features that set it apart from other dashcams. If your windshield is relatively clean, you can expect video clarity, as well as a wide viewing angle. Video is recorded continuously, so it will not miss anything, and I have found that reviewing the video is quite simple thanks to the date and time labels. Not only do the Alexa voice assistant and GPS features set the Garmin Speak Plus apart from other dashcams, there is also driver alerts that include lane departure warnings, forward collision detection, and “Go” alerts that notify you when stopped cars in front of you start moving again. Thankfully I have not had a collision warning occur yet, so I can only speak to the lane departure warnings and “Go” alerts. I would say that they work most of the time. Unfortunately, these alerts are not perfect, but I would rather have the imperfect features than not have the features at all. Despite its imperfections, I think that the dashcam on the Garmin Speak Plus is one of the best on the market.

Garmin GPS:
The Garmin GPS navigation is up to date and accurate. Now that I have the Garmin Speak Plus, I prefer getting directions on the Garmin rather than using my phone. The turn-by-turn directions are spoken clearly, and the minimalist display is easy to read. A subtle feature that I like is that the illuminated ring around the Garmin Speak’s display starts to turn greener as you approach an upcoming turn. I have not had any occurrences of inaccurate directions, so the GPS is very effective.

Thanks to the Garmin Peak Plus, I feel less distracted by my phone and can have productive commutes, since I can perform actions with my voice and ask questions that are on my mind. Some of the features have imperfections, but the benefits and enjoyable overall experience far outweigh those minor imperfections.

Lifestyle Lamp
on December 11, 2017
Posted by: Kelby
from Wichita, KS, USA
Design/Setup:
Upon opening the box, there are instructions, the lamp, and a Hue Ambiance 60-watt light bulb. Setup was quite simple since all that is required is screwing on the light bulb and lampshade, plugging the lamp in and connecting it to a Hue Bridge (not included). The lamp has a modern design with white matte glass and a black wooden base. It does seem well built compared to other lamps of this size and the tight seal between the base and glass cover prevents dust collection on the inside. Overall, I appreciate the simple setup and like the design of this lamp, but since the design is very modern looking, it might not fit the decor style of every home.

Overall, I appreciate the simple setup and like the design of this lamp, but since the design is very modern looking, it might not fit the decor style of every home.
Features:
What I like most about the Hue Ambiance Wellness lamp is that it can mimic a sunrise in the mornings and even replace an annoying alarm. This can be set up in the Philips Hue smartphone app. Similarly, warm ambiance lighting is perfect before bedtime. Because of this lamp, I have realized that lighting can make a significant difference in my morning and evening routine. Getting up in the mornings is more pleasant because I am gently awakened by sunrise-like lighting instead of being jolted awake by a loud alarm, and it is easier to fall asleep at night because I can have the lamp on a warm, dim setting. During the day, the lamp can be put on a bright white setting that is great for being productive. As with the other Philips Hue products, this lamp can be controlled with your voice (Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, or Google Home required), which is an added convenience.

Mince, dice, chop, blend and puree with this Ninja Master Prep QB900B food and drink mixer that features Quad Blade technology to help you create creamy frozen beverages and delicious salsas and dips with the touch of a button.
Can it shred.
This depends on what you would like to shred, but the blender will shred/chop almost any food you put in it, even harder foods like nuts. For example, I have used this blender's chop button to shred lettuce for a salad, and I have shredded other foods with the chop button as well.

do you have to have an internet service before this will bring in the wi fi
Yes, you must have an internet service for this Orbi system to work. The Orbi transmits WiFi signal so that you can connect wireless devices in your home, but you must have an internet connection for that to work. I hope this helps!
