A Bit Better Than I Was Thinking.
on July 27, 2019

Dell has always made a solid computer and this is no exception.
Its stepped up its specs a bit to a true gaming capacity computer.
The graphics and clarity are awesome with buffering jitter being at a minimum even on some of the more demanding high graphics games.
The blue lighted keyboard is nice and easy to see.
Its fairly light and slim (0.9") for a computer that has as much umph to it .
It does tend to get quite hot with turbo on while it processes the graphics but we use it on a cooling pad when gaming.
It also does a great job processing digital photography taken in large file size RAW format when editing in Photoshop or Paintshop.
And of course normal computing functions and programs perform great as well.
Easy to pack along to school or work and not even look like a gaming computer.
You get a lot of dependable computer that you wouldn't expect at this price point
The HD screen is crisp,clean and color rich
Windows 10 is the OS
It has a 512GB NVMe solid-state drive
Wireless-AC (1x1 AC, 433 Mbps) and wired network connectivity
Two tuned speakers with Nahimic 3D audio
Built in Card Reader, Microphone and Webcam
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti graphics

Powerful Little Hand Vac
on June 26, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
From the little bits, pieces, crumbs and messes of day to day life to cleaning out the car I always have loved having a hand-vac and this one is great.
The crevasse tool is built in and just extends from the end so you dont need to worry about losing it somewhere.
It has powerful suction, especially considering its size.
Its easy to empty and clean, the filter is washable.
You get the Cordless Hand Vacuum - ONPWR 2.0 Ah Removable/Rechargeable Battery , The Charger ,On-Board Crevice Tool and Rinsable Filter.
Made by Hoover, a brand trusted in homes for many years :)

Nice Device
on May 18, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
I would have given this a five star rating if its front had been metal and not an all plastic construction device.
But if your looking to replace a WIRED doorbell button with a video doorbell you should consider this one.
It will not work if your current doorbell is a wireless doorbell.
There is a Pre- Installation checklist on the companies website that I suggest taking a look at before you buy, and If you do buy and have any issues with the install.
Installation was quick but rather cumbersome, but I completed it with only mid level frustration.
The night vision with this doorbell is color and has the best night vision I have seen from such a device.
We have had another brand, one of the first ones to come out on another door for years.
If you dont have a smartphone, this device is not for you.
Unlike some other video doorbell devices, there is no computer access to view the doorbell.
You must use the app on your smartphone.
You must also have a router and your own WiFi network, and a good WiFi signal at the point of use in order for this and similar devices to function. (Not a problem for most, yet a major MUST)

Strong Magnet and Quality Materials
on May 18, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
The iOttie - iTap 2 is constructed of high quality materials and has one of the stronger magnetic attachments I had used.
It's locking ball swivel allows for a custom adjustment of the angle of the phone for viewing preference and comfort.
Included are two self adhesive metal plates to pick from that are to be placed on the back of the phone or case if your using a case.
With a really thin case I have even just laid the plate inside the case without sticking it to anything and it worked fine with other magnetic mounts. Thicker cases not so much.
This particular mount works better in my 2008 Subaru Outbacks vent than it does in the 2015 Toyota Corollas vent.
The way the vent and dash are constructed, there is no way for any of the mount to rest on the dash and support the weight of the mount with the phone attached.
So the vent blows at a downward angle and not on myself when driving. This may or may not be a problem for you and your vehicle.
But with that being said I still recommend this mount and feel its an excellent product.

Quick Charge For My iPhone X
on May 13, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Works well with my Spigen case and metal plate on the back for my magnetic mount in the car.
It does not overheat as some cheaper ones i have had do.
You can charge vertically or horizontally.
There is a nice tilt angle to display and or use the phone while it’s charging and is easy enough to use as just a stand on the table or wherever by just unplugging the cord in the back.
The price is a bit high but so is its excellent performance.

Great For My Laptop and Docking Station
on April 18, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Many times at the house I am more comfortable at my desk with a big screen in front of me.
I'm using this monitor and a docking station with my laptop giving me the best of portability and a big screen as desired.
The HD edge to edge display is really great and clear for my CADD program as well as a top performer when streaming movies, playing games or editing photos.
Its a very bright monitor with deep clear blacks giving the ultimate contrast needed for clarity.
The LED backlighting of the pixels as well as the anti glare coating makes this a top performer in nearly any lighting condition.
HDMI and VGA inputs makes this a very versatile monitor for nearly any use.

Would Be A Lot Better With Exterior Antennas
on March 18, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Im sure depending on where your able to locate this modem/wifi router it will perform just fine for you.
Where you can locate it and where it needs to be located are not always the same place without additional wiring.
My reception is good and strong when I am in the same room its in or near it, but down the hall (2000 sq. ft. home) on the other side of the house the signal suffers a great deal.
It needs exterior antennas, and Im not really a fan of the modem and router being in a single unit.
If one or the other goes bad, you need to replace the entire unit housing both devices.
Smaller homes and apartment dwellers with less space to utilize and a smaller coverage area should do great with this unit.

One of the Better Lightning Cables I Have Ever Had
on March 6, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Braided fabric covers this 6 foot lightning cable.
The reinforcements at each of the two cable ends is very beneficial in relieving cable stress and strain making this a very durable cord.
I have my iPhone in a thin Spigen case and the cord end fits very nicely through the case.
A handy little leather snap closure strap is included to keep the cord neat and tangle free when stowed away or in your pocket.
Other than the fact I wanted a black cord and was sent a white cord, it's just about perfect.

It works for my hair
on January 16, 2019
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This is not a professional power device and depending on your exact hair and its color, it may or may not provide pro like results.
It is very well made and barring any accidental drops it should last a very long time and help eliminate or reduce shaving or waxing needs.
I am happy with the device for my neck hairs and fine hair on the top of my ears. I have fine greying brown hair and fair skin.
My wife is Italian with courser dark hair and olive skin and her results were not as good as mine and she does not care to continue its use.
However I plan on having her use it on me as it easier for her to see the green light and assure proper alignment and skin contact as required for optimal hair removal and keeping it from growing back in quickly.
Its not painful at all to use but it does kinda tingle a little but I quickly learned to ignore that.
One drawback is its not a cordless device, so use near an electrical outlet is a must.

This Is A Serious Tool !
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This comes with a high price tag but it’s worth every penny.
It’s not a simple vibrating massager but a heavy duty percussion massager.
It has three impact settings and multiple attachments that is sure to provide the perfect combination for all your post workout pains and strains as well as muscular and joint pains from day to day life.
Its rechargeable powerful battery (which also is the devices handle) gives it complete portability for use on the go like at the gym or out for a hike or rock climb.
I do however find the device a bit heavy when using it on the back by yourself, but it’s totally wonderful when my wife uses it on my back for me.

We love our big screen HD Smart TV mounted on the wall but have never been happy with all the sound blasting out of the back of the TV.
It would bounce off the wall and deafen anyone in the kitchen, but where my wife would sit in the living room she couldn't hear the voices unless it was sky high, and it would blast me out of the room.
If your looking for a theater surround sound, look further.
But if your looking for a very high quality compact soundbar with excellent sound at a very reasonable price I highly recommend the Bose Solo 5.

Sound was cutting out, but found the problem
November 6, 2016
Sound would frequently cut out completely for a second or two. I mean 20 time or so in a one hour show.
The issue was an audio output setting on my Vizio TV.
It had been set to bitstream.
I did a little online research and switched that output to PCM and the issue is history.
No more cutting out.

Add stability to your home network with the Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender. With DirectLink technology, it avoids signal loss by adding another 5GHz Wi-Fi channel to the standard setup, which it then uses strictly for receiving signal from the source. This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.

I have never had a repeater/expander work as well as this one.
It sets up a 5ghz band dedicated to communication with your current router and then sends out its own 5ghz and a 2.4 ghz band of its own.
Its three antennas and 12 repeaters ensure its putting out an equally as good signal as the router is. It looks like an antenna router itself and expands the coverage of your wifi to a potential 12,000 foot area that for most will include at least the immediate area outside. (Yard, porches and driveway).
Of course exact coverage limits will be more restricted by obstructions than this repeater or your router.

I did the setup from my iPhone following the instructions provided and the on screen prompts.
From the time I went to the link in the instructions with my iphone until I had the repeater online and broadcasting was only 5 minutes or so.
Never have I been able to put anything on a wifi network and have it up and running so quickly and easily.

Everything about these screams quality and perfection.
From the quality machined metal parts to the premium cowhide headband and lambskin ear pieces to the cloth covered cords and canvas cases, the look and feel of quality is in every component.
There is also a round leather covered box to keep the cables in if you desire.
Even the box they come in is classy and very durable.
As for the sound, Everything from Classical Symphony to AC/DC with a stop in the country genre is what I used to put these thru the paces and they didn't fail me anywhere.
Every note in every range of all the music was crisp and clear as well as excellent quality on all vocalization.
No disruption or breakup of the bluetooth signal even when I walked into two adjacent rooms and the signal had to go through two walls, the sounds remained impeckable.
I have claimed these at my house for me at our house and I'll be very selective of letting anyone who is not old enough to appreciate such a fine article near them.
We also have a pair of Bose Noise Canceling Headphones and in the respect of noise cancellation, the Master and Dynamic set equal or exceed the Bose.
These are a pricy selection, but it will be money well spent if you appreciate music and want to own a set of headphones you will be proud to own and show off.

It had me at Pulled Pork :)
I did a 2.5 pound pork roast and followed the recipe for root beer pulled pork for an electric pressure/multi cooker and it turned out great, and was ready to eat in 45 minutes.
We did add a little bottled BBQ sauce to the sandwiches as we made them to get them to that just the way we like em point ;)
The meat was fully cooked, tender and separated easily with two dinner forks.
Clean up was super easy as it was all done in the stainless steel inner pot.
We bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 which is a 7-in-1 programmable cooker that is supposed to speed up cooking by 2~6 times and use up to 70% less energy. The inner stainless steel cooking pot is made very well with a super heavy duty metal. The entire unit feels like its components are equally well made.
It's really easy to use and has 10 safety features making it less frightening to the beginner using a pressure cooker.
Since it is also a steamer,canner, you can saute in it, a yogurt maker, rice cooker and warmer, I wouldn't say I will use it every evening but I can see me using it a lot.
I was hesitant to buy one, seeing it as another kitchen appliance gadget that I would end up sitting on a shelf in the basement, but after just using it once I can pretty much say that is not likely to happen :)

We bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 which is a 7-in-1 programmable cooker that is supposed to speed up cooking by 2~6 times and use up to 70% less energy. The inner stainless steel cooking pot is made very well with a super heavy duty metal. The entire unit feels like its components are equally well made.
It's really easy to use and has 10 safety features making it less frightening to the beginner using a pressure cooker.
Since it is also a steamer,canner, you can saute in it, a yogurt maker, rice cooker and warmer, I wouldn't say I will use it every evening but I can see me using it a lot.
I was hesitant to buy one, seeing it as another kitchen appliance gadget that I would end up sitting on a shelf in the basement, but after just using it once I can pretty much say that is not likely to happen :)

Say goodbye to cords and cables with these Skullcandy Sesh true wireless headphones.

These water-resistant Skullcandy Sesh true wireless headphones come with a charging case, providing up to an extra 7 hours of listening time.
What is the maximum distance that the blue tooth works before it disconnects from your phone??
These have Bluetooth 5.0.
With Bluetooth 5.0, devices can use data transfer speeds of up to 2 Mbps, which is double what Bluetooth 4.2 supports.
Devices can also communicate over distances of up to 800 feet (or 240 meters), which is four times the 200 feet (or 60 meters) allowed by Bluetooth 4.2.
However, walls and other obstacles will weaken the signal, as they do with Wi-Fi.
So a number of factors come into play as to how far and how fast they work, but I roam freely in my three bedroom house with no issues so far when paired with my iPhone X.

will these headphones hook up to smart trv for use with tv
If your TV supports Bluetooth connections or you chose to go wired and the TV has a 3.5 audio jack.
Consult your owners manual to be sure of this.
I hook up thru Bluetooth to the Bose soundbar we use for the TV

Sleep better. Cover unwanted noise with soothing sounds. Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™ are uniquely designed for sleep. They don’t stream music or have acoustic noise cancellation. Instead, these tiny, wireless earbuds use pre-loaded, soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noises, so you can get to sleep — and stay asleep. Plus, unlike traditional earplugs, they’re super comfortable and made to stay in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. 1. Choose your sound, 2. Set an alarm, 3. Fall asleep without unwanted noise.
How will these work against Smoke Detectors etc in case of emergencies?
You are in control of the sound level these produce through the app on your smartphone.
I have mine set to a lower level that masks the disturbing noises yet I could her a smoke alarm or intrusion alarm, by phone ring or even my wife speaking to me if she speaks up just a bit.
But if you set them at a high level your not going to hear much of anything at all, and that is not safe IMHO and rather unnerving.
The lower levels are fantastic

How the volume and changing songs works
You control everything about these from an app on an iphone or android.
Sleep sounds provided is your only choice for listening to, no music, audio books, etc. Only sound and white noise.
