Setup:
In the box, you will find the Oculus Rift S headset, two Oculus Touch controllers (one for the left hand and one for the right), two AA batteries (one for each controller), a Mini DisplayPort adapter and the owner’s manual. After plugging into a DisplayPort (or Mini DisplayPort with the included adapter) and a USB 3.0 port, the headset is quickly set up and ready to go. There is just a software install and a guided setup process to get the headset up and running. With the help of the passthrough feature that allows you to see the space around you, the virtual boundary can be configured with ease by using the controllers to draw your boundaries. Since I play in the same area each time, I have not had to perform the boundary configuration again. As excited as I was to start using this VR headset, I was thankful for a quick and painless setup process.

Design:
The Oculus Rift S is ergonomically designed, and I am impressed with its comfort. There is soft padding around the headband and face pad, and the size of the headband can be adjusted by a sizing wheel on the back of the headband, as well as an adjustable strap across the top for additional stabilization. It is not a light headset, but the combination of soft padding, weight distribution and headband sizing wheel allow for comfortable gaming sessions. I have also found the Oculus Touch controllers to be comfortable to hold, and after playing several games/experiences, I became familiar with the button, trigger, and thumbstick layout. I appreciate that the controllers are intuitive to use.

Features:
The display is colorful, bright and impressively clear. It is easy to get lost in the virtual environment while playing one of the many great games and experiences compatible with the Oculus Rift S headset. I occasionally notice a slight glare or screen-door effect, but it is not significant enough to distract from a great VR experience. The sound is integrated into the headset, which I personally like for convenience and comfort. The sound quality is not on par with the quality that headphones can provide, but I was surprised by how loud and spatially accurate the sound produced by the headset was. You can plug in headphones if you choose to. As I briefly mentioned, there are numerous games and experiences to download and play. I am only just beginning my VR journey, but I have already discovered some phenomenal games and apps on the Oculus store. I would recommend searching for game reviews online to help you decide which ones to try. All the games and even your desktop can be accessed in VR.

Performance:
My PC meets the minimum suggested specifications, and I have not experienced any lag. Sometimes loading apps or different levels within a game can take a while, but the in-game experience is smooth. The Oculus touch controllers are tracked extremely well, and I have not experienced any lag with the controllers either. The only performance related hiccup that I have encountered was an issue where the virtual hands were stuck at eye level no matter where I moved the Oculus touch controllers. The solution was using the “Restart Oculus” button in the Oculus software on my PC, which rebooted all the Oculus software. Since then, I have not experienced any issues. I had some worries about my PC just meeting the minimum specifications, but those worries quickly went away once I started playing games. If you have a PC that is above the minimum specifications, my guess is that the performance and experience will be even better.

Verdict:
If you are new to VR and want the power of a PC to enhance gameplay and open the doors to top VR games that can only be run on PCs, then the Oculus Rift S is for you. The simple setup and user-friendly design make it easy to pick up this headset and start playing without much to learn. The Oculus Touch controllers are intuitive, sound integration in the headset enhances comfort and provides surprising clarity and spatial accuracy, display quality is colorful and clear, and everything performs well, even on a PC that meets the minimum specifications. I am impressed and beyond happy with the Oculus Rift S.

Design:
I was in awe after opening the box and setting up this Saeco Xelsis Espresso Machine. To describe the design in a few words, I would say exquisite design meets functionality and technological advancement. The brushed aluminum with chrome accents is very appealing, and the attention to detail is astounding. One of the most noticeable aspects of the Saeco Xelsis is its touchscreen. Unursprinsgly, it is not only beautifully designed but also very responsive. Inside the machine is a ceramic grinder that is said to be durable and does not diminish the quality of the coffee like other grinders that can overheat. This machine most certainly looks and feels like a very premium product. As I describe below, the features and performance have not disappointed me either.

This machine most certainly looks and feels like a very premium product. As I describe below, the features and performance have not disappointed me either.
Features:
The amount of customization that is possible with the Saeco Xelsis is definitely a top feature. Temperature, taste, strength, volume, and milk foam amount can all be customized to an impressive precision. Even the order in which the cup is filled with milk or coffee can be customized. Customizing the settings is a fun way for me to change up my drinks, and to make it even better, drink customizations can be saved to a user profile for easy access to my favorite drinks. There are 15 different drinks that this machine can make, so it really can do it all, and each drink is phenomenal. Maintenance and cleanup is a breeze thanks to the ‘HygieSteam’ system and easily accessible internals. ‘HygieSteam’ cleans out the milk circuit with hot steam at the touch of a button, and the brew unit and drip tray can easily be taken out from the side of the machine to clean. The final feature I wanted to comment on is that there is an ‘AquaClean’ water filter included that purifies up to 5000 cups without the need for descaling.

Performance:
The Saeco Xelsis is arguably one of the top automatic espresso machines on the market for its design, features, and performance. My love for coffee has been renewed because of how exceptional each and every cup is, no matter which of the 15 drink options I choose or how I customize the different sliders that modify the important aspects of each drink. This machine is consistent and precise. I have been conditioned to expect nothing but a perfect cup of my desired drink each time, and it has not even come close to disappointing me.

Verdict:
I do not think I have enjoyed a product as much as I have enjoyed the Saeco Xelsis. It looks great in my kitchen, it is packed full of fantastic features, and it performs perfectly every time I use it. I cannot say enough good things about the Saeco Xelsis. If you love coffee, this machine is a fantastic investment.

Slow Cooker, Quickly Impressed!

Design:
The Calphalon Digital Sauté might be the best looking slow cooker that I have seen. It has a nice stainless steel finish with a modern LED-lit screen and simplistic controls. This slow cooker is impressively lightweight but also well built, and transporting, moving or storing it is relatively easy. I think it is also worth mentioning that the nonstick ceramic coating makes cleaning simple. Overall, this is a very well designed slow cooker that I am happy to have seen on my kitchen countertop.

Features:
One of my favorite features of the Calphalon Digital Sauté is the ability to remove the pot for use on a stove or in the oven. This is not a feature specific to only this slow cooker, but I would say it is the easiest and most effective out of others I have tried, and that adds to the versatility. There are four modes controlled by the rotary dial, and those are “OFF”, “WARM”, “LOW” and “HIGH”. Once the cooking time that is shown on the LED screen is up, the slow cooker will default to the “WARM” setting. The ability to sear, sauté and slow cook all in one device is fantastic. When it comes to features, there is nothing more I could ask for.

Performance:
I have tried a few different recipes, and they have both turned out perfectly. The timer and the different cooking modes are accurate, and food seems to cook evenly every time. There is a lot that can be done in this Calphalon slow cooker, and I have yet to have a bad cooking experience with it.

Verdict:
The Calphalon Digital Sauté is a slow cooker I have recommended to friends and family, and I would recommend it to anyone reading this. I do not think you will find a better designed or better performing slow cooker out there, and the features like auto keep warm mode and digital display are the icing on the cake.

Design:
Usually, air purifiers are not visually appealing, but the sleek and modern design of the BISSELL air400 is an exception. Although it is somewhat large, it is not an eyesore and fits well against the wall. Thanks to the carrying handle and its lightweight, carrying the air400 to another room is not backbreaking. All the controls are easily accessible on the top of the air400, and changing the air filters is simple. Overall, I think this is a well-designed air purifier.

All the controls are easily accessible on the top of the air400, and changing the air filters is simple. Overall, I think this is a well-designed air purifier.
Features:
In my opinion, the primary feature of the BISSELL air400 is the “CirQulate” system. With auto mode on, “CirQulate” automatically chooses the best airflow setting to provide optimal airflow and air quality. Upon turning on the BISSELL air400, I noticed that the feedback display was blue and had a relatively low number, which is an indication that the air quality is good, but it was not the lowest or best number (002). After about half a day of use on auto mode, the reading on the display was all the way down to 002. When the air is stirred up after having guests walk around the home or having the windows open, I notice the air quality reading go up to indicate lower air quality. I say this because I believe the air quality sensor is accurate, and it is a great feature to have on an air purifier because you can see that it is actively working on purifying the air. Other notable features are timer settings (select how long the fan will run), filter change indicators (shows when the filters need to be changed), a silent mode (makes the fan whisper quiet) and night mode (control panel lights and air quality feedback display dim).

Performance:
Besides trusting the air quality display on the front of BISSELL air400, or using another trusted device to test the air quality, unfortunately, there is no easy way to immediately tell if it is performing well. Perhaps for bad allergies, an improvement of symptoms at home could be a physical indication of good performance. However, what I can say with confidence is that the fan and the different modes work flawlessly, and I do trust the air400’s air sensor, so it is my opinion that this is a very well performing air purifier.

Verdict:
It is nice to know that where I sleep and spend much of my time has purified air. Although I do not have a medical condition that requires purified air or bad allergies, the peace of mind is enough for me to make owning the air400 worth it. If you are on the fence about purchasing an air purifier, I would encourage researching the health benefits to help you decide. As for which air purifier to get, I would highly recommend this BISSELL air 400.

Design:
The Ninja Smart Screen Kitchen System with FreshVac is well built from the inside out. All the components are hefty and sturdy, so I have no worry about anything breaking anytime soon. With a simple touchscreen, it is easy to select the appropriate program for whatever I am making or blending, and the touchscreen also adds to the already visually appealing modern design. Although I usually have it stored in a cabinet when not in use, it looks great on my kitchen countertop. In many ways, the Ninja Smart Screen is a well-designed blender.

Features:
The nine different pre-set Auto-iQ programs are phenomenal, so I would definitely consider the programs a standout feature. Auto-iQ makes it easy to crush, blend or process just about anything effectively and efficiently, and the FreshVac technology is a perfect complimentary feature. Using FreshVac truly does make a difference. I have tested it out by making a smoothie with and without using FreshVac, and now I will never go back to not using it because the smoothies are exceptionally smooth and full of flavor. If you love smoothies, I am confident that you will love this blender. Other than smoothies, there is much more that this blender can do, and that is facilitated by the different programs and three different containers, which are the FreshVac pitcher, FreshVac cup and the precision processer. This truly is a kitchen system and not just a blender because it comes with everything you could need.

As I mentioned above, the Auto-iQ programs work very well. I have owned several blenders over the past few years and felt that they were of decent quality, but I am impressed with the performance and versatility of this Ninja Smart Screen System, and I am confident that it is one of the best blenders on the market.

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.

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.

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.

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.
