Good Sound & Protection Against the Elements
on May 9, 2017
Posted by: Kelby
Design:
I like the sleek look and coloring of this LifeProof Aquaphonics speaker. Despite its lightweight feel, the speaker seems durable. The highlight of the speaker’s design is water-resistance, as well as dirt and dust resistance, which makes it a great outdoor speaker. Although I have not put this speaker through strenuous testing, it is nice to know that if it should rain, the speaker will not be damaged. Also, dirt can easily be washed off with water. Finally, on the top of the speaker, there are large, easy to use buttons for power and controlling your music, so it is great that I do not have to search around the speaker for the right button. They also aluminate, which is helpful at night.

Sound Quality:
Compared to other Bluetooth speakers of similar size, I would consider the LifeProof Aquaphonics speaker to have good sound quality but not excellent, which is my reasoning for a four-star rating. At the price point, I expected more out of this speaker. While the sound is clear and fills smaller rooms or distances just fine, there is some distortion at louder volumes and the bass is a bit lacking.

Battery Life:
The LifeProof Aquaphonics speaker has great battery life. 13 hours is the advertised battery life, and I would say that is accurate. I typically use the speaker for an hour or two each day, so one charge lasted me a whole week, which is satisfactory for me.

Other Features:
The drybox is an added plus to the LifeProof Aquaphonics speaker. There is not a lot of room, but I have found it useful for small items like a house key or cash. Even when the speaker gets wet, the drybox effectively keeps my items dry. In addition, the Bluetooth pairing process was easy and my connection still works from a good distance away.

Verdict:
Overall, the LifeProof Aquaphonics AQ10 is a good Bluetooth speaker. If you are looking for an outdoor speaker that is durable and provides protection against the elements, I would recommend this one. However, if you do not need those features, I would test out the sound quality of different options.

Great Upgrade to Your TV’s Speakers
on May 2, 2017
Posted by: Kelby
Setup:
Setting up this Sony Soundbar System was quite simple. However, I did need to do some reading about the various settings available and how to change them. There is no display on the soundbar to show what setting it is on, but that can be viewed in the “SongPal” mobile app.

Design:
I am impressed with the sleek design, which does not seem to compromise sound quality, which I elaborate on below. My favorite part about the design is that the subwoofer is wireless and can be placed upright or laying on its side. This provides placement flexibility, and there is even a “sofa mode” setting that optimizes the bass if you decide to place the subwoofer under a couch.

Sound Quality:
As I mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised with the high-quality sound that is produced from this compact soundbar system. I have heard better, but this is a great value for the price and the size. This is the smallest soundbar and subwoofer system that I have seen, yet the sound quality is on part with some larger/more expensive systems. Additionally, there are a number of sound settings that allow you to fine tune your audio experience, which is a nice touch.

Features:
I find myself using the Bluetooth feature quite often to play music. The music fills the room and carries well throughout the main floor of our home. Until now, I frequently used a standalone Bluetooth speaker for my music, but now this Sony soundbar is my go-to speaker because the audio quality is exponentially better. Pairing was simple, and if your phone supports NFC, it is even easier.

Verdict:
If you do not currently have a soundbar hooked up to your TV, this Sony Soundbar System is a no brainer. It has fantastic sound quality, Bluetooth connectivity, and a sleek design. Although I have heard better soundbar/subwoofer systems, they are much pricier, and I truly believe this is a great value for the price and size.

Pleasant Surprise – Little Speaker, Big Sound!
on April 24, 2017
Posted by: Kelby
Design:
The Polk Bit is lightweight and the buttons are easy to use. With raised (+/-) buttons on the side, it is nice to not have to search around the device to find the right button when you want to change the volume. These buttons also double as buttons to change the song. You just hold (+/-) for a couple seconds. Additionally, the clip is durable, strong, and a good size. I have not had any worries about the Polk Bit falling off, even when clipped on thin materials, such as my shirt.

Sound Quality:
I did not know what to expect out of such a small speaker, but with it being a Polk product, I was anxious to hear how it sounded. I am honestly very impressed. The tiny Polk Bit delivers clear and robust sound. You will not be blown away with the amount of bass it produces, but the speaker is very small, so that was to be expected. Regardless, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the Polk Bit.

Battery Life:
Unlike the sound quality, I have not been impressed with the battery life. The Polk Bit’s battery lasts about three hours, so it is not ideal for prolonged use in the absence of a USB charging port. On the bright side, it does seem to charge quickly.

Features:
The main feature of the Polk Bit, other than being a wearable Bluetooth speaker with great audio, is that it allows you to take hands-free calls. There have been several instances when I have found this to be particularly useful. For example, I can clip it on my seatbelt in the car to take calls, since my car does not support hands-free calling. In general, I have noticed how convenient it is to be able to take a call when I have the Polk Bit on, and the conversations are clear.

Verdict:
Do not let its size fool you. The Polk Bit packs impressive audio technology into a small, wearable Bluetooth speaker. In addition, it is easy to use and well-designed. The only aspect I was not impressed with was the battery life. However, three hours may suit you just fine. If you love music and have an active lifestyle, or just want to experience one of the first wearable Bluetooth speakers on the market, the Polk Bit may be ideal for you!

Phenomenal Sound, Amazing Comfort
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: Kelby
Design:
The Razer Kraken Pro V2 headset has a premium look and feel. The headset seems durable and flexible, especially the headband, which can be bent at all angles and still return to its original form. Although the Kraken Pro V2 is not wireless, the cable is plenty long for my needs, and it is braided, which is a nice touch. Finally, the mic is fully retractable, which makes it easy to adjust and keep from view when not in use.

Finally, the mic is fully retractable, which makes it easy to adjust and keep from view when not in use.
Audio Quality:
With clear sound and powerful bass, I would describe the audio quality as phenomenal! Even games that I have experienced many times sound different because I can hear things I could not hear before, and the clarity and bass change the feel of the game. Voices from other players on chat are also clear, and I have been told that my voice sounds clear to them as well.

Comfort:
The Kraken Pro V2 is one of the lightest gaming headsets I have ever felt. I do not feel weighted down when I put them on, which is a relief for my neck. Additionally, the ear cushions are large and soft. The box comes with circular cushions, which work great for me, but oval-shaped cushions can be purchased separately if desired. Another reason I think this headset is comfortable is because I do not feel like my ears are clamped down, which has been a complaint I have had with previous headsets, but at the same time the headset does not feel too loose, and I do not worry about it falling off. I feel comfortable wearing this headset even during extended gaming sessions.

These are the best gaming headphones I have used in years. There are more feature-packed, expensive headphones out there, but the Kraken Pro V2 headset is a tremendous value at its price. The high-quality audio and great comfort are the selling points for this headset, and I have been very impressed. I highly recommend the Razer Kraken Pro V2 headset!

An “Animal” of a Vacuum!
on March 18, 2017
Posted by: Kelby
Design:
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 has a sleek, modern look with purple accent coloring. It looks and feels like it is made of durable materials, so I am confident that it is built to last. Even if there happens to be an issue in the future, Dyson backs its vacuums with a 5-year warranty, so I am not worried at all! It is nice to have the sense of mind that I have a durable, warranty-backed vacuum that will last. Another aspect of the design that I like is the long cord that minimizes the number of times I need to unplug and re-plug the vacuum into an outlet.

Performance/Effectiveness:
Dyson advertises that the Animal 2 has the strongest suction of any vacuum, and I certainly believe it. Dirt, dust, and pet fur are gone in one swipe. I simply have never owned a vacuum this powerful, and I am amazed by what it can pick up. The Animal 2 is even effective on our kitchen’s wood floor and our bathroom’s tile. The suction and performance of this vacuum are second to none!

As mentioned above, there are attachments included, and I have found them to be very useful. The combination accessory tool, extension wand, and flexible hose help me clean hard to reach places, and the hose is long enough for my needs. Additionally, I really like the stair tool and motorized brush. As implied in the name, the stair tool is designed for cleaning the stairs, and it is effective for that purpose. I use the motorized brush for my couches, and they have never looked better! This tool is also tangle-free, which is great.
Ease of Use:
Assembling the vacuum is quick and simple, and there are no tools required. With the ball design, the vacuum is also easy to control, even at tough angles, and the base automatically adjusts to the type of surface you are on. All other vacuums that I have used have required manual adjustment for different surfaces, so I quickly noticed the added convenience that the automatic adjustment provides! I also appreciate the release button when emptying the bin. It makes the emptying process fast and hygienic since it prevents human contact with whatever the vacuum has collected.

High-Performance Sport Headphones

Design:
JBL and Under Armour make a good pair. I like the red and black coloring, as well as the controls, which are in a good location and are easy to use. Additionally, the earbuds “TwistLock” technology is very effective. They stay in my ear, even when running. I also think the carrying case is a nice addition.

Audio Quality:
JBL makes high-quality audio products, and these are no exception. I was immediately impressed with the audio quality after using them for the first time. They sound great, but the bass could be a little better. I enjoy headphones with good bass while working out, so it is unfortunate that these slightly missed the mark in that regard, but they produce quality audio overall.

Comfort:
In comparison to other wireless headphones I have tried, these headphones are not as comfortable. I do not have any problems with the comfort when wearing the headphones for short periods of time, but prolonged use sometimes causes discomfort. The earbuds are also on the larger side, so I would not recommend them for those with smaller ears. However, there are several earbud sizes, so there is still a good chance that you will find a size that fits.

Versatile and Effective Blender
on December 22, 2016
Posted by: Kelby
Design:
I like the design of this Ninja blender. It has a modern, sleek look with an appealing black and silver finish. The buttons on the base of the blender are clearly labeled with the name of each function, and they are easy to press. In addition, the cord length more than suits my needs based on where I like to place the blender in my kitchen, and the suction cups on the bottom of the blender prevent it from moving while turned on. Regarding the included plastic containers, each is durable but also lightweight.

In addition, the cord length more than suits my needs based on where I like to place the blender in my kitchen, and the suction cups on the bottom of the blender prevent it from moving while turned on. Regarding the included plastic containers, each is durable but also lightweight.
Features:
Firstly, the blender comes with four containers, which include: one 4-cup bowl, one 32 oz. cup, and two 24 oz. cups. I have found the 4-cup Nutri Bowl to be especially useful because I like to make a yogurt blend that my whole family can share. Each container seems well-made, so I am not worried about them breaking anytime soon. Additionally, the three cups have lids, which are great to have when you want to transport the drink you have made. I like to take a smoothie with me to work in the morning, so I am glad there are lids included. Also, all the containers are easy to clean. The plastic has not lost its color, and sticky residue is not overly difficult to clean from the cup.
Secondly, the Auto-IQ Technology is fantastic. Pausing and pulsing patterns are performed automatically, which is not only convenient but also more effective than manual operation. I enjoy this blender’s ease of use, and it did not take me long to learn what each Auto-IQ program does.

Effectiveness:
I am very impressed with how well this blender can crush and mix almost any food you put into it, even frozen food. Thanks to the powerful motor and blades, I have been able to achieve very smooth blends every time. As mentioned above, the Auto-IQ technology drastically contributes to the effectiveness of each blend. You can control the texture and consistency, which not every blender is able to do, at least not as well as this Ninja blender.

I have put this to the test, and I can confirm that it is an accurate statement, but do note that those statistics are for charging only an Apple Watch eight times, or only an iPhone three times. Charging both devices will reduce the number of times you can charge them before needing to recharge the Valet, but I am still impressed with its power capacity. There are portable chargers on the market with higher power capacities, but I think the added convenience of having an integrated Apple Watch charger makes the Belkin Valet Charger worth it. I like that I can recharge my Apple Watch and/or iPhone several times before needing to recharge the Valet.

I like that I can recharge my Apple Watch and/or iPhone several times before needing to recharge the Valet.
Charging Speed:
I have been impressed with the efficient charging speed of the Valet Charger, especially when charging my iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. Because the Valet has two amps of total power, one dedicated to charging an Apple Watch and the other dedicated to charging an iPhone, having both devices charging at once does not delay the charging speed of each device, at least not noticeably. It is nice to be able to charge both devices without sacrificing the charging speed.

It is nice to be able to charge both devices without sacrificing the charging speed.
Verdict:
It is hard to think of anything I do not like about the Belkin Valet Charger. One possible drawback when comparing it to other portable chargers is that the Valet only has one USB port. I personally do not mind having only one USB port on the Valet Charger because I only use it for my Apple Watch and iPhone, but those who have other portable devices may wish that there was an additional USB port. With that being the only drawback I can think of, and it being a minor one, in my opinion, I can confidently say that the Valet Charger is a fantastic portable battery to own for iPhone and Apple Watch users. The design, power capacity, convenience, and charging speed are what make the Valet great, and I would recommend it to those looking for an Apple Watch and iPhone portable charging solution.

Effective and Versatile All-In-One Trimmer
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Kelby
Design:
The Philips Norelco Multigroom 7400 is a premium trimmer, and that is clearly visible right out of the box. This trimmer is made of high-quality materials and it feels great in my hand. Like the trimmer itself, each attachment seems durable. Because of this, I am confident that this trimmer and its attachments will last a long time. In addition to the durability, I like the waterproof design. It is nice to not have to worry about the trimmer getting wet anywhere that it is not supposed to. I can use the trimmer in the shower and wash it easily.

Effectiveness:
I have found each attachment to be effective for its use. My personal favorites are the nose and precision trimmer attachments. The self-sharpening blades perform very well, and I am always happy with the results after each trim. The long battery life and fast charging also contribute to the effectiveness of this trimmer.

Versatility:
The eight attachments included with this Philips Norelco make it the most versatile trimmer I have ever used. As I previously mentioned, the waterproof design is such a useful feature. Being able to wash not only the attachments but also the entire trimmer and use it in the shower is a convenience that not all trimmers provide. A storage pouch is included with the trimmer so that you can keep everything together, which I found very useful. Simply put, this is a fantastic all-in-one trimmer.

Helpful and Enjoyable Addition to My Home
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: Kelby
Overview:
Google Home is a joy to use every day. It brings the power of the internet and Google into my home and makes them accessible via voice, which results in a number of conveniences. Some of my favorites include: asking it to play a certain music playlist, telling it to add something to my Google Keep shopping list, asking a question I would normally have to type into Google on my phone or computer, setting a timer or alarm, or asking about the day ahead (calendar events, weather, etc.). The list of things you can do with Google Home goes on and on. I have been continuously discovering new ways to use it, and Google Home has noticeably simplified some of my daily tasks.

Design:
The device is aesthetically appealing and does not take up much space. On the top of the device, you will find touch controls that allow you to adjust the volume, play or pause music, mute to put the device on standby, or activate listening mode. The top of the device also has a few subtle lights that turn on when you say “Okay Google”, which is a nice touch. In addition, the base of Google Home can be customized with seven different colors (sold separately).

Audio:
Despite its small size, Google Home produces loud and clear audio. I am pleasantly surprised with the audio quality, especially the bass it is capable of producing. In the future, I may consider getting another Google Home because you can play music through multiple Google Home devices at once.

Voice Recognition:
I am impressed with how well Google Home can hear me. Even if I am across the room, I do not feel like I have to yell at the device or slow my speech in order for it to perform the correct action. There are times when Google Home’s responses take a little longer, but I would definitely consider the voice recognition highly reliable and effective.

Can the vacuum mop??
The Roomba i6 does not have a mopping feature, but it does have “Imprint Link Technology” which syncs it with a Braava Jet m6 (sold separately) to vacuum then mop in perfect sequence.
