If you like to take photos, you need this camera. WOW. Talk about features and ease of use. Do not be intimidated by all the options.
I love that you can take both video and still photos with this camera. I really like the flip up display so I can set it up to record myself for instructional videos and see what I am doing and if I am in the shot or not.
I really like how small yet comfortable it feels in my hands. Other cameras I have had are bulky and heavy. This has a great weight and it small enough to fit in any of my bags for carrying around.
When starting out you can leave it on Auto and your pictures will still turn out fantastic. As you get more comfortable with it you can begin to experiment with the different settings to really get that perfect picture regardless of the setting.
This has wifi and bluetooth which also makes for ease of sharing photos with your other devices.
Amazing auto focus and low light pictures. Super easy to use, my kids have figured it out and love taking pictures with it too.
I would never go back to an SLR after having used this Sony Mirrorless camera.

Cordless and Great Balance
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
I absolutely love that this is cordless. I have never had much luck with wet/dry vacs and this one finally does what I need. I can take it anywhere and not have to worry about having an extension cord long enough. I was worried the suction would not be as powerful since it was cordless but Hoover outdid themselves here. The suction is awesome. I was able to clean out our car and minivan in one charge on the first use. After a full fall season of travel baseball you can imagine all the sand and dirt that had managed to get into the vehicles. This vac was up to the charge. I was very impressed with how much it picked up.
I like all the attachments but this is also the one area I could see for improvement in future designs. The attachments are secured with a plastic type wrap. I can see this stretching and not working over time. So we shall see how it goes. For now it is fine.
It does take a few hours to get a full charge on the battery. But I think that is normal. Once charged it lasts around 12 min of full suction. This was plenty of time to clean up the garage floor and the cars as needed.
I like that the filter is in the middle of the unit. At first I wasn't sure what to think but I realized quickly this was a great place for it. Keeps all the dust in the main unit where you want it.
Another area of concern with other style of vacs is the wheel placement. I have had others tip over easily as I pull them around. This has a great center of gravity. Hoover again thought this one through and the wheel placement and alignment is great for balance. I can pull it around and not have to worry or constantly check it to see if it is about to tip over.
All in all I am very happy with this purchase. If you can use it in short increments and do not need it plugged in for long periods of time I would definitely recommend this for your projects.

Love this mouse. I like that it has 2 ways to connect to your device. First (and my preferred method) is to connect via bluetooth. Yep, this has bluetooth connection. No more need to plug an extra dongle into one of your limited USB ports on your device. Put your device in discover mode, and push the button on the bottom of the mouse, and BANG you are connected. We used it with a chromebook for our daughters school device and had no issues connecting.
If you do not have the ability to connect with bluetooth it does come with the paired dongle you can plug into an open USB Port on your device and that works just as quickly to connect.
You may not know where to find the battery or the USB Dongle.... surprise the TOP of the mouse is magnetic and pops off when yo are ready. Super easy.
The mouse works on nearly any surface and is long and flat. It fits very nicely in both adult and children's hands. The buttons work as expected and the scroll wheel is always a plus for navigating up and down long pages on the screen.
It is compact yet durable. It is being carried around in a school backpack and no issues so far. LOVE this.
Did I mention you can connect directly via Bluetooth.

Good for windows and Android Only
on November 29, 2019
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
So this is very good for streaming your device to your tv if you have a windows or Android device. It is not compatible with Apple devices.Luckily we have both platforms in our home so this worked really well. We primarily bought this to stream out windows 10 laptop to our TV to make it basically a second monitor. Nothing like seeing your computer come to life on a 65" TV right!
Instructions were easy to follow. And it came with the necessary power adapter to plug into the wall as well as a HDMI cable. Note the power cable is not very long so be sure you have an available outlet near your source (TV).
I would recommend this for regular web surfing, email checking, or document creation. You can stream both audio and video easily. There is a slight lag between the laptop and the TV so it may not be ideal for Gaming.
Resolution is 1080p so that is nice.
I could also see using this for work or presentations where you could stream wire free to a TV at your event.

Wow. Super comfortsblr
on November 22, 2019
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this was to use and how comfortable it is to wear.
There is not much to the setup. When you open the box all you need to do is plug it in and give it a full 8 hour charge. Then it is ready to use.
The instruction manual is great and easy to follow. I appreciate the images in the book too.
The chest strap is super comfortable. I have used heart rate monitors when running and those are always a little uncomfortable for me. But this was very comfortable. I completely forgot I was wearing it. The strap is easy to adjust and will fit many body types for sure.
Basically to start using it you just push the button on top to turn it on. Then you hold the power button down for two seconds to set it for monitoring. Lay down and try to sleep. I wasn’t sure what to expect the first night but I felt a little buzz when I moved to my back. And I simply rolled back over. That was it. I felt like I was totally used to wearing it and didn’t think about it again after about 3-4 days. Ever since then it is just a part of my routine for going to bed. I fee like I sleep better and my wife has commented that she doesn’t hear my showing anymore.

Finally a slim keyboard with number pad
on November 11, 2019
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
I love this keyboard. There are so many positives about this keyboard. Right out of the box it is ready to pair. I pulled the plastic tab out from the top (that keeps the battery from engaging while it is packaged) and the Bluetooth was immediately in pair mode. I turned on my laptop and found the keyboard trying to pair. I connected it without issue. I was in business within 3 minutes of unboxing it.
Did you know you dna pair two devices to this at the same time? Hello! Genius. So many times I would want to sue my other keyboard with a different device but didn’t want to go through the pair and unpair steps. This solves that issue.
And finally for me it has a side keypad. Again. Genius. The keys are perfectly weighed and feel great as I type. There is a nice slant to the setup too. It does. It have adjustable feet. So what you get is what you get. But it fits my rulings style perfectly.

The coffee maker for anyone
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
This is so easy to use. You can program it or just brew a cup when you are ready. I like the finish, it looks nice with my other stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. It is small enough to pack away in a pantry or corner lazy susan too. Or you can leave it out on the counter and it looks great. I am impressed with the color coded measuring system. This make brewing coffee a breeze and I always get the right measurements for my tastes.
We have hard water in our area so getting good filtered water is a must. This has replaceable filter pods to help make sure you have clean water.
The instructions are easy to follow and well through out. If you gave never used a coffee maker before you will have no problems following the instructions to get up and running in a snap.
Bonus.... most of the parts are dishwasher safe... making washing a breeze too.
You do need to provide your own filters... but I think that is normal so just plan ahead.

Who needs a real oven anymore
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
SO I hardly use my real oven anymore. I am preparing any meal I can that fits inside. Which so far is just about everything. We use it to toast items in the morning for breakfast, it makes great cinnamon rolls by the way. We use it to air bake pork loins, chicken burgers, turkey burgers, hamburgers, we make mini tortilla pizzas. We bake fish too. You name it, we have done it. You have to check the settings to get it the way you want. The sausages we bake come out SOOO juicy and it is like 1/3 of the regular time of a oven. This is the way to go for baking and toasting needs. We hardly even use our full size convection oven anymore. So glad we finally made this purchase.

This has a HD image. It is super thin, so the profile is nice. it fits right on my table and hardly takes up much room it is so thin. It comes with a HDMI cable which I appreciate. I plugged it into my HP laptop and it instantly mirrored the image of my desktop. The buttons are located underneath the screen, so you don;t have any obvious buttons when looking at the monitor. I like that a lot as it keeps the view clean and minimalist. You can of course change the tones and colors to your liking but the default settings worked perfectly for me. LOVE the size... this is for a home office so I do not want to give up space for 2 or 3 monitors and I totally feel like I have a dual monitor set up with the size of this screen. It is great in all light conditions. I have not had any issues.

Amazing Espresso Taste right at home
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
I like the pre programmed buttons. All you have to do is select what you want and the machine does the rest. I enjoy the different options from how many shots, strength of coffee, over ice or not, milk frother. It makes super great micro foam. I recommend streaming only 8oz of milk at a time to get it the right temperature. It is easy to clean. I do feel it uses a lot of hot water for each brew. This could be due to the cleaning sequence at the beginning of each session.
I wish there was an easy way to remove the beans from the top hopper in case you want to switch them out before they are all used. Suppose one person wants decaf beans and the next person does not for example. I also would like to see a longer milk steaming wand. It rotates to the side which helps but it is a little short in my opinion. Not a deal breaker by any means but just something to see in an updated version down the road.
The over ice is amazing and magical. I am still in awe watching the coffer brew over ice and the ice is not melting. This is absolutely incredible.
There are many options for customizing the shot, amount, water, strength. It can be a little intimidating at first but read the instructions they walk you through it all and you will be amazed at what you can do with this machine.
I like there is a separate drawer to collect the grounds after the coffee is brewed. This makes clean up a snap.
Bottom line it comes down to taste. Given you can keep it simple and just push a button to get the different coffee styles you want… or get creative and program different levels…. you do get an AMAZING espresso taste from this machine.

Is this keyboard backlit at all?
No there is not any backlight. So working in low light levels would not be ideal for this keyboard.
