Powerful yet light, super convenience. Love it
on May 14, 2026
Posted by: Nate34
I love that this is basically and all in one vacuum. No needing to switch when swithcing from carpets to your kitchen, etc. And the fact that its cordless and lightweight means you can easily get in all those hard to reach spot like under furniture, etc.
In the box you get the cordless vacuum, auto charge dock, pet multi-tool, and crevice tool. The pet tool comes in very handy to get the hair shed from my cat.
I love that it has a self empty system when you hook it up to charge. Great design and it couldnt be easier to use.
Since using this I have rarely had to break out my large heavy duty vacuum. This really packs a lot of cleaning power into something so light and cordless at that. The convenience alone makes it worth it.
Another cool feature I hadnt even really thought about is that this has forward and reverse cleaning. So there is no wasted energy while pulling it back and forth. Cuts down on cleaning time a lot!
If you have pets, different floor types, and dont want to always have to lug around a heavy vacuum this is the way to go. I love it!

Excellent Autovac that is close to set and forget
on April 25, 2026
Posted by: Nate34
Like most people where I live has multiple floor types. In my case different carpet heights and hard wood. And this is exactly what I needed to keep everything nice and clean.
In the box you get the Shark Power Detect, Shark Never Touch pro base, starter bottle of cleaner, 2 pack of brushes, 1 pack of odor neutralizer, and mopping pad.
The initial set up is very easy. Using the app to plan out a cleaning area is simple. Up and running in a few minutes.
The cleaning it does is great. With other similar vacuums I would always have to “touch up” some areas that it either didnt reach, or didnt clean very well. With this its basically set and forget.
The maintenance is no issue either. It will auto return and use heat to clean itself which is awesome.
The auto return feature also does the emptying and refilling on its own as well. Like I said its basically set and forget with very little you need to do on your end once its all set up.
Although not a “feature” my cat loves chasing It as well. Keeps him busy while Im not at home!
Overall this is the best, most feature packed, and easy to use and maintain auto vacuum Ive ever owned. If you have multiple floor types and just want an autovac that does it all look no further. Love it!

Top notch lightweight and slim laptop
on April 17, 2026
Posted by: Nate34
First thing I noticed was just how sleek this machine is. Its so light and thin, yet packs all the performance and specs you need for a multi purpose laptop.
The OLED screen is amazingly beautiful and makes everything you do a joy. Of course since its an OLED the black levels are as good as it gets and watching movies, playing games, and everything else super crisp.
The sound is very good as well. Its not going to replace something like a good Bluetooth speaker, but it gets the job done. And it can handle high volumes with no distortion.
Boot ups and performance are insanely fast due to the 512gb SSD and 16GB of LPDDR5x Ram. Running multiple programs, having loads of tabs open, it just keeps on going.
It has all the ports you will need minus HDMI but this can be easily solved with an adapter. I like to run my laptops to my Sony 55” OLED TV as a monitor which works great with the right adapter.
One of the most impressive features of this laptop is its exceptional battery life. Im not sure what the claimed battery life is but I can say its awesome. Easily lasting a day or 2 with light use. And has “HP Fast Charge” with a 65watt fast charger that will charge it from 0-50% in about a half hour. No more always worrying about being near a plug or having to carry the charger all the time.
I would say this is the perfect laptop for a student, or as a work laptop. But of course can be used for some light gaming as well. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone wanting sleek looks, light weight, and performance to boot.

Awesome and cheaper alternative to party drinks!
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: Nate34
The Ninja slushy maker does a whole lot other then just your tasty slushy drinks. Its great for parties. I had no idea some of the drinks out there were so good. And now that I can make them at home you become the “life of the party” (pun intended), and save a ton of money in the long run.
You of course can make great drinks for kid as well with summer creeping up on us. Pretty much anything that your local convienence mart can make can now be made at home.
The machine is very easy to set up and use. There are decals telling you how to set it up, with a manual as well for the more detailed info. What I really like is that the machine itself tells you what to do as you go. Add this, do that, etc, Its great and so easy to use.
I look forward to the summer coming up to experiment with other cold drinks as well. And it has a built in cleaning feature that makes this one of the easiest appliances I have to use. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to save money and experiment with you and your friend favorite drinks. You might just end up making something new that becomes your new favorite!!

My favorite gaming keyboard so far!
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Nate34
When it comes to gaming accessories, and specifically gaming keyboards Asus is always at the top of my list. And here again they prove their gaming accessory dominance.
The keyboard itself looks amazing. Very solid build, perfect haptics and overall typing feel. And of course the gaming performance cant be matched.
I really like the new mini OLED screen that shows system info and has other customizable settings as well. Its nice to be able to just glance over at it and get the relevant info you need without having to pause whatever you doing. Especially during hectic gaming.
And of course this has it where it counts. Gaming is amazing and with all the customizable aspects of this keyboard you can tweak things to be YOUR perfect keyboard.
And being able to adjust the actuation of the keys is a game changer. (Pun intended). You can adjust the actuation to meet your needs if you want super quick response its just a setting away.
Overall this is easily the best gaming keyboard I have ever had. And I highly recommend it to anyone serious about their gaming performance. Love it!

Had no idea the tracking was this bad
on December 21, 2025
Posted by: Nate34
This is a product I wasnt sure I needed until I had it. I knew about cookies and other tracking means, but had no idea it was this prevelent.
The intitial set up was easy using my existing Google account and a product key. Downloaded and installed with no issues.
After the install it directed me to the Google Chrome add-on for Norton Anti-track. This also installed with no issues. I didnt install it on any other browsers because I only use Chrome.
Once installed and after some browsing it immediately started finding sites that were tracking me. Even well known sites seemed to track more then necessary.
I have a full year of Norton Anti-track and am glad I gave it a shot. Like I said this is something I didnt know I needed, but now get it. Just the piece of mind knowing these trackers will be blocked gives you a piece of mind while online that is worth it.
I think this is a definite necessity for anyone that wants to remain as private as possible online. And Norton Anti-track makes it all as easy as possible. Glad I gave it a shot and recommend!

First dash cam and it's great.
on December 14, 2025
Posted by: Nate34
Initial impressions is that is made very well and solidly built. In the box you get the main dash camera, a rear camera, power cable, 32gb SD card, a 26' cable, mount and extra adhesive.
Install was very easy but of course depends on vehicle used, your skill, etc. For me installing and setting it up in my 2014 Honda Civic took about 30 minutes. The hardest part was hiding the main cable that attaches the rear camera. But I just tucked it under my plastic floor boards on the door sills.
Then the set up was easy and the UI is well laid out. My car already has a rear camera and a right side camera so now all angles are covered. I wish I could integrate my stock cameras to the main to record which might be possible but more difficult then I want to attempt.
The screen quality is great and of much higher quality then my stock cams. And the footage comes out great.
I never thought I'd need a dash cam but I'm glad I do now. There's an added piece of mind knowing I have footage to backup any story from an incident or accident. Great price, easy to set up, nice quality footage, and has rear camera as well. Highly recommend!

The ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDMS is a 27-inch, 280Hz QHD gaming monitor. With the addition of the Neo Proximity Sensor in the new ROG OLED Care Pro suite, the monitor transitions to a black screen when no user is detected, guarding against burn-in.
Posted by: Nate34
The Asus Rog 27" OLED monitor is one of the best looking, but even more important best performing monitors I've had.
Nothing at the moment can beat OLED so right off the bat you know you're getting the best image quality out there.
The colors are outstanding. Of course you get true proper blacks due to the OLED technology, as well as amazing contrast ratio.
But there's a lot more then just that here. The 280hz display makes everything move so smooth with no input delay I noticed.
The monitor itself looks like high end and looks great paired with the G700. It has nice and thin bezels and almost looks like it's all screen.
The gaming performance is top notch. All my shooters, driving games, and more played with a smoothness and responsiveness that I hadn't been able to achieve with even my more expensive TVs. These would be great for competitive gaming!
I am extremely happy with the Asus Rog Strix and couldn't recommend it more. If you need the best look and performance look no further! Highly recommend!

Amazing clear, crisp sound. Comfy too
on December 1, 2025
Posted by: Nate34
The Sennheiser HDB 630 is close to if not at the top of my all time favorite headphones.
Firstly they look and feel great. I have a large head and these easily fit with room to spare. They are super comfortable for long sessions.
At first I had planned on just using these to play music from my phone. But after hearing them I decided to connect them as my main audio for all my TVs output.
That's apps like Netflix and YouTube, as well as all my gaming consoles. The High res audio is amazing! There is perfect separation for locating things in games.
The audio and bass is tight. I mean that it's not that overblown rattling bass. Perfect accurate bass, miss, and highs.
The adaptive noise cancelation is the best I've heard by far. It's almost too good. Drowns out all but the loudest ambient noise.
It has a claimed max battery life of 60 hours, but I've never tested that. However after a full days use it still has plenty to go another full day easily.
I went from just wanting these for phone audio on walks to using them for basically everything. Sennheiser knows their stuff. Super high recommendation!

Excellent way to get into PC gaming and more!
on November 28, 2025
Posted by: Nate34
The Asus Rog G700 is the perfect pre-built machine to get into PC gaming without sacrificing anything. And if you want to you can upgrade it yo a beast of a machine.
Getting into PC gaming has never been easier with Asus. They built a great "entry level" machine here that will be plenty for a new or seasoned gamer. Specs wise you'll get great 1080p performance which when played on a great monitor is hard to distinguish from 4k.
Setup was as easy as can be with Windows 11. If you've set one up before it's still as simple as it can be.
The machine itself is beautiful. The lighting and materials used look like a much more expensive PC.
It's nice and quiet even when the fans are at full.
I really like the lighting effects on this. Sometimes it can be a bit distracting but here it just looks like a light show.
When it comes to performance I was pleasantly surprised that everything ran nice and smooth. No issues at all unless you try to push it passed the settings it's made for.
And of course this does much more then gaming. It excels at all the other things you need in a PC. Videos, browsing, etc. are no problem.
Even though it isn't necessary I'm looking forward to upgrading this into a bit more powerful specs. But for someone looking to get into PC gaming for an excellent priceook no further. The Asus G700 has you covered!

I purchased this laptop a few days ago and man do I love it. This computer has everything I was looking for in a laptop (expect for an SSD) however I felt I could live without it considering the price for this machine. I have never owned an Acer always HP, had it for 7 years and it was time for an upgrade. I do really like this laptop fast, beautiful design and enough ports not to mention the PRICE again you wont be disappointed.

5 out of 5Should be at the top of your TV shopping list!!
By Nate34
from North Bay Area, Ca.
When I started TV shopping I did a lot of research and at first bought the 55” KS8000. I liked that but when the KS9000 went on sale I exchanged it for that. One of the main reasons I went with the 9000 was the design (mainly the stand). On the 55” version of the 8000 the legs are about 44” apart. My stand that I have been using for years for several TV's is only 42” wide. So I had to use a large piece of wood on top of my stand just to be able to set up the 8000. This didnt really look all that great, and I didnt want to have to replace my stand with a wider one. And thankfully the 9000 has a more standard V shaped stand that fits and works great on my TV stand.
And the 9000 also has some improved specs and also looks better in my opinion. I didnt really like the glossy back of the 8000. Anyway I really love this TV. Ive had several Samsungs, and my last set was the JU7100. But decided it was time to upgrade. I dont really miss the lack of 3D because I think I literally only used it once on my 7100 to test it. And I do believe 3D is on its way to being extinct. Anyway the new thing now of course is HDR. And the KS9000 really takes advantage of that. It simply looks amazing. There are several Netflix shows that show what HDR is all about. And I also recently bought the new XBOX ONE S. Ive yet to buy an HDR Bluray, but I will soon. But as I mentioned there is plenty of HDR on Netflix and Amazon Video in the meantime.
One of the really cool new features this years Samsung TV's has its the new Tizen system. It is much more simple and streamlined this year. My favorite feature so far is how well the TV detects whatever device you are connecting and names it accordingly. I have a PS3, PS4, XBOX ONE, 360, and a PC laptop all connected to my TV. And it names them all without me having to do anything. The PS3 and PS4 are both automatically labeled as “Playstation”. And the XBOX One and 360 are both labeled by their full names each. I didnt have to type out names like I have before when customizing my input names. As you can tell I have a lot of things connected to my TV. And since it has 4 HDMI ports I use 2 HDMI 3 way splitters. They automatically switch to whatever source is powered on. So my system is set up like this:
HDMI 1 = Direct TV
HDMI 2 = PS3 and PS4
HDMI 3 = XBOX ONE S
HDMI 4 = PC, Wii U, and XBOX 360
HDMI 2 = PS3 and PS4
HDMI 3 = XBOX ONE S
HDMI 4 = PC, Wii U, and XBOX 360
The reason I am listing these all out is because I want to add how smart this TV is. It switches the settings, input name, and device type on HDMI 4 on its own depending on whichever one is powered on. And I have different settings for PC and the Wii U and 360. I use to have to manually switch the input type every time I went from one to the other. But when I power off a device it automatically switches all the settings and input types on its own.
Of course a review of a TV without talking about picture quality isnt complete so here we go. Simply put its amazing. The colors and picture are awesome. It also has very good motion handling, especially if you set Auto Motion plus to Auto. But this gives you the dreaded SOE (Soap Opera Effect). Which I really dont care for. So I use a custom setting for Auto Motion (Blur 3, Judder 3, and LED Clear Off). This gives it very good motion handling with very little SOE.
As you read above I am a gamer. And one of the main things I look for when TV shopping is the input lag (or lack thereof). And this is one of the best TV's released this year for low input lag. In Game mode the lag is only 20.5 ms. This is great, I dont notice any lag at all. I was also thinking of getting the Sony X930D but decided not to for a few reasons, one of those is that it has about 54ms of lag. This isnt terrible, but would be noticeable in my opinion.
The other main reason I went with the Samsung over the Sony is that I am still not sold on the Android Smart platform. I tested it on a 2015 Sony and it was just too buggy. I have read it is better this year, but in my opinion the new Tizen is much better.
Another thing I look for in TV's is a good USB media player for videos on hard drives. And Im happy to say that the Samsung recognizes and plays every single file type I have tested. It also has SRT subtitle support.
So overall I am very happy with this TV. It is by far the nicest set I have ever owned and I look forward to years of use with it. If you are looking for a new HDR 4K TV this should be on the top of your list. If you want a cheaper alternative go with the KS8000. Just be aware on the 55” version of the 44” wide legs. On the larger versions the 8000 has optional closer leg mounts, but for some reason Samsung did not do this on the 55” version. Anyway thanks for reading. If you have any questions or comments feel free. Ill try to answer and respond.

Im the review writer, needed to add info.
September 23, 2016
The one issue I am having is that the source list and its icons go blank every couple days, sometimes more. This is a known issue and apparently Samsung is looking into it. As a work around you can hold down the power button on the remote to force it to reboot. This brings the source list back, but its still an issue. Its only the upper source list, the lower one doesnt go away. If you own the set you'll know what I mean by the upper one. Thankfully this is an issue that can be fixed via firmware update, but as of 1131 (9-23-16) it still happens. If it gets fixed Ill try to update my review.

Battery question
November 3, 2016
I know these have better battery life than the previous gens but have you had them actually run out on you? I have 2 sets of Gen 2's now that I just swap out when one headset dies and then start charging it. I use my A50's for all my TV audio not just gaming so they run out after about 5 hours or so, so Im hoping that the Gen 3's will always have enough battery to get through the day as long as I set them back on the charger when not using them. Thanks

I have owned A40s and currently own a pair of last gen A50s. The new A50s make a lot of great improvements over last gen. No chat cable is great and the docking station acts as an external sound card for the PC and does not require an optical cable for full 7.1 which is awesome. Audio quality seems to be better that the old A50s. I would occasionally get some low buzzing noise in the old model but the new ones are crisp and have no such issues so far. Battery life is significantly improved and the auto shut off is a welcome addition(the headset senses that it has been put down and shuts off after 15 seconds. Once it senses it have been moved it turns right back on. Usually the audio is already coming in by the time I put it on my head). Build quality is super solid. Expensive but they sound great and are a quality product. I am not wild about the color scheme but I can deal with it.

I have 2 sets of Gen 2's now that I just swap out when one headset dies and then start charging it. I use my A50's for all my TV audio not just gaming so they run out after about 5 hours or so, so Im hoping that the Gen 3's will always have enough battery to get through the day as long as I set them back on the charger when not using them. Thanks

What does it mean NOT compatible with Verizon & Sprint? I cannot talk to someone that has Sprint or Verizon service?
This only means it is a GSM only phone so if you were on Sprint of Verizon your sim card would not work. You can call and message anyone on any carrier with it.

What are my options to wirelessly connect 2 hd tvs to the same directv box to broadcast the same show?
You would need a splitter that takes one HDMI signal and splits it into 2.

Looking to replace comcast modem want to buy a compatible modem
I also had to replace my comcast modem and have tried 2 different brands since then. This first one I got was a Zoom, and then later bought a Motorola. Ive had less issues with the Motorola. But Im not sure if they carry that same model. Its been a couple years. Depends on what you want to pay. I see the Motorola SB6121 is only 69.99 right now and has excellent reviews.

Modem/Router
I am trying to stream Netflix to two different televisions.. Do I need to purchase a second Modem?
If so, will cox cable recognize a second modem? In other words, must I pay more and register a second Modem with them?

NO, you dont need 2 modems. All you need is 1 modem, and a wireless router. Then set up the wireless on the router, then any device that has internet can connect to the router by searching for wireless and entering your password.
