Reliable Presentation Option On The Go
on September 24, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
I am an educator and travel from building to building providing training to staff along the way. Finally I have a way to quickly plug into a projector and still use my own device. And the beauty of this system is I am not tied to a corner of the room where all the cables usually come out of the wall. It is wireless so I can be anywhere within range and still project (cast) to the projector.
This device will allow you to connect any device and stream content. You get 2 options for connecting. The system itself has it's own signal and you can connect to it.. This I found to be my preferred method when I am traveling to different locations. However when I am in one location for a longer period of time, or at home for instance, you can connect this to your local wifi network and then you can cast to this from other devices on your home network.
This device will support a lot of cats options such as Airplay, Chromecast, and Miracast for example. This allows you to connect Windows, Mac, iOs and Android devices.
You plug the HDMI end into an open HDMI port on your TV and the USB end into an open USB port on your TV (this provides the power) or to a USB port/plug in the wall.

Just what my large family needed
on September 17, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
I love using a crockpot to cook for my large family, but one feature that the crockpots have had in common for us over the years is they are heavy and a little difficult to clean.
Well, that problem has been solved. I was shocked how light the pot felt when I took it out of the box. And I was pleasantly surprised the first time I cleaned it. WOW, was it easy to clean. As advertised.
When reviewing specifications about this particular crockpot I noticed the following sections were described on the site:
Large Capacity
7-quart capacity fits a 6 lb. roast and can serve 8+ people
AGREED. This is plenty big. We are a family of 6 and we had no issue at all making plenty of chili and italian beef in this.

Easy Clean
With just a couple of wipes, the easy-clean, PFOA- and PTFE-free ceramic coating makes cleaning 5x faster than traditional Crock-Pot stoneware
AGREED. In fact they should highlight this even more. This was by far the easiest crockpot I have ever cleaned. It helps that is is pretty lightweight compared to other crockpots.

Secure Lid
Locking gasket lid helps you get the slow cooker to the final destination without spills or messes
AGREED. This is the first one I have owned with a locking lid. How many times do you have a party, family get together, or work potlock where you need to bring food? Well finally I can transport my meal with confidence knowing the lid will stay secure during travel.

Digital Controls
Digital countdown control lets you program cook times anywhere from 30 minutes up to 20 hours
AGREED. Easy to use. Love being able to set the time. usually you get maybe 3 choice or pre-set times. not on this unit. You can really set this exactly for how long you want it to run. For those who like to set things up overnight or when you leave for working the morning, you can leave it with the peace of mind knowing it will shut off when you want it to.

Flexible Settings
HIGH and LOW settings are perfect for making chilis, stews, sauces, and more; automatically shifts to WARM setting to keep food at the perfect serving temperature
AGREED. Making chili we actually found it was ready before the time we programmed so we changed it from Low to Warm... and let it simmer until we were ready.

Perfect Car Accessory

With more and more power hungry devices, this sure does the trick for my travels. I am able to charge 2 devices at a time with this device. It comes with the adapter and a USB lightning cable. I can charge my iPhone and iPad at the same time while traveling. I notice a significant increase in the amount of charge I can get while traveling compared to my older 5W adapter.
If you ever have the need to charge a phone or tablet while traveling this is the adapter for you.

The only trimmer you need
on August 30, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy

Finally it is here. The only trimmer you will need. This trimmer. Ones with all the needed attachments. You get the eyebrow adapters and side burn trimmer. It has a carry case for travel as well. I really appreciate that the design of this trimmer does not pull any hair when cutting. It seems all the other trimmers I have tried always pull the hair when trimming. The design of this has combed that issue. No pulling. Trimming is pain free like it should be.

These are awesome. I love that they come with a protective case that I can keep them in when I am not using them. I really like that they have a built in mic that retracts out of the way when you are not using it.
These are super easy to pair. The sound that comes through them is fantastic. They feel very sturdy and I like the weight of them when I am wearing them.
The buttons are nicely placed and easy to use. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. They charge quickly and come with the necessary cables too. I like that there is a place for the cables in the closed as well. Again. Well done in the design department all around

I got this to help me record voice overs for training videos. It is awesome. Plug in and ready to use. It is sturdy and has a very nice trip pod stand. There is a long USB cord so you can really position the mic where you want and not feel like you are tied closely to your computer.
There is an audio jack on the bottom of the mic so you can plug in headphones and listen to yourself through the microphone. This way you get a sense of how you sound while recoding. There are even lights on the bottom which give a nice glow in low light situations.
I like how it has multiple modes, you can record from different sides of the mic, When it is just me, I set it to record only from the front of the mic, I have used it in a group setting and needed to pick up users from all sides, So I set it to pick up from all sides and it sounded amazing. There are two knobs on the back to adjust the gain and volume. There is also a button on the front that lets you quickly mute the mic. Very nice.
This is a sturdy, high quality mic that will not break the bank.

Best Typing Experience Ever
on July 11, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
From the first key I pressed, I could tell this would going to be a great experience. So you can actually pair this to 3 different devices. That is great for when you want to is it with your iPad and then also with your Mac or Macbook. It is super easy to pair. Enable the bluetooth on your device and then press and hold one of the 3 sync buttons on the keyboard. BAM! You are now connected. And let the fun begin.
The keyboard actually was a bit heavier then I was expecting but that is a good thing. It has a great "weight" to it. It feels solid, sturdy, and well made.
I love the backlight of the keys. So many times I am working in the low light setting and need to see the keys. You can easily see what you are typing now. Another awesome feature... the backlight goes off about 5 seconds of inactivity which is great but the real magic.... as your hands approach the keyboard the lights come back on... you do not need to actually press any keys to activate the lights. WOW! GENIUS! MIND BLOWN!
So often on keyboards with a back light you have to press a key first to activate it. Well how often do you actually press the key you want the very first time? Problem solved. These lights come on before you press any keys. Way to go Logitech for figuring this out.
Now, the keys... they have almost a rubber feel to them (not plastic) and the curve of the key is perfect for my fingers. I hit the center of the key each time. The typing experience is like heaven. So nice to type with the perfect amount of resistance.
AND this one has the keypad on the side... love this for data entry.
You can download the Logitech software too and then customize the function keys to your liking.

Logitech Is King of Wireless Mice
on June 26, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
When I hear Logitech name, I immediately think of high quality wireless keyboards and mice. This mouse is fantastic. I really like the design color. The side of it has a very nice feel for my thumb and pinky as I move the mouse around. The click of the left and right buttons is natural and responsive.
I really like the universal Bluetooth adapter so you can sync another keyboard with this at the same time without needing to use 2 adapters.
My kids will use this for their school laptops. It is small enough to carry in their back packs, and not take up much space. Battery life is unbelievable. I change the batteries in my smoke detectors more often then I do with these mice.
Logitech has done it again. Love the designs and the ease of use of the mouse.

Really Great Overall Case
on June 26, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
So overall I am really happy with the case. It comes I n2 parts, the main case that the iPad snaps into, and the detachable keyboard piece.
I really like that the keyboard charges via the iPad directly. Using the connector where the Pencil would go, it magnetically attaches and gets its charge from there.
The keys are great to type with. I REALLY like that the keys also are backlit. What a great addition. I also like the touchpad. As your mouse gets close to an icon it snaps to the icon and then the entire icon is enabled (highlighted). So when you click the touchpad, the icon for the app you want will be selected, no worrying that the mouse moved.
The case snaps on the iPad very easily. And the back has the “stand” that you can adjust to a nearly flat position or keep it nearly upright. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that at first, I thought I would break the stand the first time I pressed it lower, but I found out quickly it is meant to do this and it very sturdy. You can really get the angle you want to view the tablet.
The case does have some eight to it. You definitely feel like the iPad is protected.
My one concern, and why I did not give it 5 stars, is the keyboard attachment. I do not always want the keyboard and I would like to flip it behind the iPad or our of the way. That is to an option. If you do or want to use the keyboard you have to remove it (it comes off super easy).... but then you have a keyboard laying around beside you or on the table and you have to remember to reattach it when you close the iPad or turn it off. As the keyboard is the screen protector for the device when not in use. I find having the keyboard detach is not ideal.... and then I have to figure out something to do with it.

What I love about this is it works not only with MacBook and iPad Pro but any device that has USB C connection. I have also used on a chromebook and a windows laptop that have USB C connection.
It is small and portable. I love the extra usb c connector cable. It has a travel pouch which keeps the unit safe when it in use. I can carry it in my backpack and it is always ready to go when I need it.
So great to be able to add the Electra ports through this hub.

No there is not any backlight. So working in low light levels would not be ideal for this keyboard.
