Should be a 5

Honestly, this is a great robo vac. I dropped a star due to customer support for their web page.
I have a few Ninja products and a couple Sharks. So I had a account for their site. As of August 27, they forced everyone to reset password.
Problem is, the reset failed. My account became locked.
I had to wait 24 hours to configure because no support person could unlock my account.
After that 24 hours... It took 30 seconds to configure and connect to WiFi.
The vac is great.
The setup is easy.
I only wish there were more controls in the app. I want to drive it.
A interesting thing. Rather than a invisible wall, which usually fail, this has a ribbon that is a physical barrier.
You can attach the ribbon barrier to a throw rug to move it where you want it.
The robot seems to be lower profile than another brand we had that got stuck under the entertainment center.
All in all, this is a really nice unit.

For Me a 2, For Someone Else a 4

The install was simple as pie. Initial setup was simple of the hub.
The door sensor install was easy, used Velcro straps.
Programming the garage door was a fail, but not MyQ's fault. I blame Genie and the MyQ documentation.
The online documents said all Genie were compatible. This was wrong. I have a Genie 2028 that was manufactured in 2016.
After mounting everything and going thru the opener configuration, it did not work to open the door.
To the internet Robin!
After a quick Google search, I found forum posts saying anything made by Genie 2016 or later would not work. Years 1993-2015 should be safe.
I contacted customer support to verify. This is a true statement.
Right now I have a fancy garage door monitor that lets me know when the door is open and how long.
Before purchasing I would recommend contacting MyQ customer support to verify your opener is compatible.
The reason, Genie changed their communications so it will only work with their branded WiFi opener.
This would be great, my opener is the issue. But the documentation made me Mark this a 2 star.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro hybrid electric trimmer and shaver, QP6520/70 (14 length comb)

Hard To Describe but Still Surprising
on October 17, 2017
Posted by: dharr18

If you have ever used a micro trimmer, this feels like one on steroids.
You won't get a blade close shave, you shave against the grain. On your neck, this can be tricky if your hair lays in multiple directions.
The shave is closer than an electric razor.
It takes a bit of time to get use to shaving in reverse. Trimming feels normal. Shaving, not so much.
I would highly recommend using a cream or lotion, you get a little better shave due to the cream holding the hair upright.
DO NOT push hard against your skin, you will get a pretty harsh razor burn.
This works really well on longer hair, more than a days growth.
I am not sure how it will work on very coarse or thick hair. It seems like it will work pretty well.
I have yet to use the trimmer comb. It is well designed, but I like to keep my hair a little longer than it is designed for.
This is really great at trimming stray hairs, I am sure I will put a wedge in my beard by accident one day... But free form trimming is a challenge no matter what you use.
I would recommend with a warning about it not working well on flat laying hair.

Thought it would be cool
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: dharr18

I was wrong.
From the manual, it tells you to go to the site and activate.
The site says download one of these apps to activate.
The first app from the play store I attempted to download was $8.99. NEXT
Next app was $2.99. PASS
Finally found Digg, and it was free.
After a few minutes to activate and register I was able to see what the Cube was all about.
Roughly 30 seconds later I was done.
At best this is a novelty toy. There is some cool aspect, for about 30 seconds. After you have been annoyed trying to find an app worth trying that won't cost more cash, that 30 second is not worth it.
It is a cool concept, but poorly executed. The only reason I did not give 1 star, with a few decent apps, this could be a pretty decent toy that you might Digg out once every few months when you notice the dust it has collected.

Not Bad But Doubt They Will Last
on October 6, 2017

Imagine taking a Nerf Football and strapping it to your face....that is what this feels like. After just a few times putting my G6 in the headset, it is showing a slight tear in the foam, kind of like a Nerf Football starts breaking down after a good rough game of football.
If you wear glasses, these are not for you. The fit is very snug and it does not feel designed for people with eye wear.
The straps are difficult to fine tune or just adjust in general.
The unit I got has a flaw in one lens, I have yet to get a good clear viewing. My Cardboard seems to have better optics.

Fantastic
on October 4, 2017
Posted by: dharr18
from Florida
These headphones are fantastic. They are light and fit comfortably and securely. If you have worn any other twist in Bose headsets, this is the same design.
Sound is impressive, as you would expect from Bose.
Battery life is surprising. At 50% volume over two hours listening to XM app, I still had a reported 80% battery left.
The charging case is slightly bulky, but does a great job protecting and charging the headphones. The case is good for multiple charges to get you thru a full day or more. It also charges the headphones much faster than the advertised rate. I recharged from 80 to 100 in about 15 minutes while I ate lunch. 15 minutes will supposedly give you 45 minutes of playback. The case is advertised to give 10 hours of additional charge.
I can't say enough great things about these.
The app has a locate my headphones and also allows you to connect to multiple devices and to disconnect from other devices. Really well done application.
These are the first Bluetooth audio devices I have been able to pair with my tablet. Not an indictment on the other devices, just praising these little buggers.
I highly recommend. Wish I had more than 5 stars to give.

Grading on a curve
on September 27, 2017
Posted by: dharr18
from Florida
I would like to give this a 3 1/2 star. I'll round up because it is a dependable and well built hand vac/spot cleaner.
The great way to describe this is a pet stain spray bottle attached to a hand vac. The basic concept of this is carpet spray, like any $4 bottle at the grocery that you vacuum up 5 minutes later..just like it says on the $4 bottles.
This does have a brush built in and there is a dirty water bladder. Just like a full sized carpet cleaner.
I may be oversimplifying this, it is a lot more than a hand held vacuum. Having it all together in one unit is great. With the $4 bottle you spray and blot. Walk away and just vacuum after it dries. This will suck the moisture out and pull up the stain before it sets in or dries.
I am torn on how to describe this. It seems like it should be more, but it does what it does so well.
I would definitely recommend to someone with kids or pets prone to accidents. Exactly who this was designed for.

Great Color
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: dharr18
from Florida
I am fairly impressed with this all-in-one printer. I was looking for a second printer/scanner for the kids to use for school that allowed color printing. My current black and white laser just required markers to add color to the grey scale. The kids are a little too old to be coloring homework, so ...
Printing on photo paper is fantastic, almost as good as a professional print. Maybe, for me, a little better because I can control the color.
The scanner is your normal all in one variety. Pop in a sheet and scan it.
The software, where I take a star away, is not the most intuitive piece of code I have worked with. Hopefully this will be corrected with updates down the road.
I would HIGHLY recommend doing the firmware upgrades as soon as you get the unit out of the box. Initially my unit was popping errors every time I looked at it, the first firmware update corrected that issue.
All in all in one, this is a very nice sturdy inkjet with really great color reproduction.

Best Handheld/Stick I have Used
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: dharr18
from Florida
It doesn't matter if the handheld/stick is corded or cordless, this vac is the best of the ones I have used. The fact it is cordless is all the more impressive.
The vac comes with two removable rechargeable batteries and a charging base. The batteries can be charged without the base. Battery life, since they are new batteries this is just the initial impressions, is fantastic. I have been able to go thru the house on a quick sweep (see what I did there?) using only one battery. I am pretty confident as the batteries wear in I will still have the juice to do a quick sweep of the entire house.
There are two vac settings on the unit, one for extended battery and one for major suckage. You also have brush control, on and off. The vac pulls the head along so it almost feels self propelled.
Weight is about perfectly balanced. Unlike some vacs that can not stand on their own without tipping, this one will stand upright and not tip easily. There is a flex point with button release that is handy for storage but doubles as easier access under tables and chairs.
There are a handful of attachment brushes that should get you through any handheld cleaning you can think of. One attachment is perfect for cleaning ceiling fans. A nice addition to the normal brush/wand assortment.
Once again, Shark has taken a bite out of the competition.
Puns that suck are now over.

Exactly What The Doctor Ordered
on September 13, 2017
Posted by: dharr18
from Florida
My wife has had multiple surgeries for chronic back issues. With all the medical appointments, bills, doctors notes, etc. Trying to keep all these papers without losing them and organized is a chore. With this scanner I can scan in the paperwork and keep things organized without all the paper trail.
This scanner has been a real life saver, exactly what we needed it to be. We can now search for specific documents and days when needed for appointments or insurance requests from our provider.
This scanner allows up to 65 pages per minute scanned and also does duplex mode in a single pass. Not having to feed the documents thru two times makes the work of scanning so much easier. I have scanned in hundreds of documents already with another stack waiting. I can't imagine doing this with a flat bed scanner.
This is easily the most helpful technical item I have had in years. The build quality is top of the line. Epson has lived up to he quality I expect from them. Well done.

5 out of 5Great Headphones Period
By dharr18
Sound quality for these headphones are on par with their wired counterparts. Sound controls are inline and well placed for easy access.
The microphone performs much better than I expected, people I have talked to on the phone said I was clear and could not tell I was using a mic. The mic is built into the inline controls.
The ear pieces are quite comfortable and light. The base/receiver the ear tips extend from are rounded and smooth to avoid rubbing against your outer ear. As with most headphones you will get various sized options for ear size and comfort.
Inline controls are on the right hand side about 3 inches from the right headphone. The inline controls require some force to adjust volume, so you will not accidentally change volume. The power button, status lights and USB port are all on the right hand headpiece. All call controls, volume, etc are in the inline controller.
Battery life has been quite good. My initial usage points to about 12 hours battery life based on the Bose Connect app battery status, packaging claims 6 hours. There is built in battery savings for auto power off that can be adjusted in the app.
Speaking of the Bose Connect App, available in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. The app is very basic and straightforward on Android. Open the app, it will prompt for you to turn on the headphones. Pair. Done. The App is not required unless you plan on making setting changes, such as default voice prompt language or auto power down options.
My only concern is the USB port cover, it is rubber and feels well built, tight fit and strong, but I fear this could easily get broken off the headphoness.
Packaging includes the headphones, Bose headphone case, 12 inch standard micro USB cable, (1) large and (1) small replacement ear tips, manuals and warranty information.
In the included photos I have a US Quarter and a AA size battery for reference for the size of the buds.

Just a quick update: The App has been updated to include these headphones. Still very basic, but the App on Android will allow you to control which two devices the headphones are connected to. Obviously you would keep the phone connected to control switching, but the app will allow you to control which device the headphones. This makes an easy switch from laptop to tablet to work laptop, etc. This control is under the Bluetooth button after the headphones connect to the phone.

If you only have one earbud can u still bluetooth to it. A mbd if yes is there a way to make that bud playback in stereo instead of just the left or right side?
The right side is the dominant side and can be used by itself.
I have not tried using only the left one. The initial pairing requires the right one, so I think the left is the slave to the right.
