This Is A Serious Tool !

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.

So Much Storage For So Little Money
on November 8, 2018

from Saint Albans WV
Even with many of my grandsons high data games to store, 2TB can store a lot of games.
It has a data transfer rates up to 5Gbps with USB 3.0 so its even fast enough (but not as fast as a SSD) to play directly from the drive, but for the most part its used for storage and swapping games out on the console itself.
It can also be used just as you would any external drive for portable storage and backup of all sorts of data.. documents, pics, etc.
And the drive itself is only about half as thick as a pack of cigarettes and only about an inch wider and taller.
Im not gonna fight with him for this drive, Ill buy one for myself! LOL

Been A Keurig Fan For Many Years Now :)
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
But this is the greatest coffee machine I have ever owned and looks great on the counter.
It has a rich expensive look to it.
Like all Keurig products your assured of a cup of fresh coffee in every cup.
Unlike my previous Keurig there was zero plastic smell or taste to disapate before you could enjoy a great cup of coffee.
And the intergrated milk frother for making specialty drinks is awesome. Having a Keurigs before this one all but put the coffee houses out of buisness as far as I was concerned.
And now I can see no reason to even stop in for a Latte or occasional cappuccino. I can make at home for about 60 cents what they charge 5 bucks for in a coffee shop.
The only dislikes I have is that the reservoir is small compared to previous models and there is no timer to set for an auto on at a desired time.
But Im sure i will get accustomed to that and it really does heat up quickly anyway.

Excellent Yet Very Similar to the Last Version

from Saint Albans WV
Photoshop has always been my workhorse for photo editing and enhancing, yet in an everyday hobbiest photographers use I dont find any major difference in this version and the previous one, at least not in the features I use frequently.
But if you dont have any Photo Editing Software and are considering a purchase for serious photo editing or creating projects and Meme's this would be a fantastic purchase.

Great Sound But Far From Noise Canceling
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
As I write this Im listening to The Rippingtons on Pandora, however I can still hear the TV that my wife is watching.
Between songs I can completely hear what is being said on TV, and yes I have tried all three sizes of ends
But the sounds these produce for just over $100 bucks is great, but I would give them a less than average on noise cancellation.
They are very comfortable and handle phone calls as well as any I have had, but at least so far the app is useless for them

More Functionality With Android Than iPhone
on October 22, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This is a beautiful watch but many of its functions of course are limited somewhat when paired with an iPhone.
But to varying degrees thats true with any android smart watch.
You can read but not respond to messages and emails but not reply to them.
Its a bit bigger than a regular womans watch but much smaller would make it nearly useless.
The battery life is terrible.
Around 12 hours with the motion activation on and 18 with it off, so its pretty much a nightly charge.
Its waterproof for around 3 feet according to the manufacturer.
Instructions provided with the watch are very lacking.
You will find much more information online than is in the book.

Not A Typical Smart Watch
on October 5, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
It can have as much of a classic traditional watch look to the look of an exercise computer and all points in between.
Watch faces are endless from a high dollar designer watch to an inexpensive digital with most of them free are available for download as well as a multitude of apps are available for justa bout every function and activity you can think of.
GPS, maps, altimeter , barometer, fitness and work out apps, you name it there is probably an app.
I have used this with my iPhone and android and connection to both thru bluetooth paired easily and its connected to the internet thru that bluetooth connection (2.4 ghz only).
You can turn on notifications for email and text messages but response from the watch is not a feature thats useable with iPhone.
Making and responding to calls from the watch is good to go with iPhone or Android..
Most sounds are can be selected and changed as well as the brightness and volume.
The watch is charged with its own charger wirelessly and there is no option to charge with a cord only.
It will not charge from any of the other wireless chargers I have, so dont forget to pack the charger when traveling or even out for a long day.
Like all battery powered devices battery life depends on exactly how much you use it and with what function and apps.
I find in general use as a watch and notification device I can get at least two and sometimes three days with it running 24/7 while I was testing it.
You can increase that if your not using the watch for an alarm and turn it off at night.
My only negative comment on this beautiful watch is the quick change silicone band, I just dont like them.
Fortunatly practically any 22mm band will fit the watch just fine and I replaced mine with a sturdy canvas band that is also quick change.
This is a very stylish watch that can look classy for a night at the orchestra to a weekend on the trail or gym

Just Me And My Music
on September 18, 2018

from Saint Albans WV
These are the best Noise Cancelling headphones I have owned and my other pair is a set of Bose.
The app for your smartphone gives nearly unlimited customization of the sound through various presets as well as a manual option for a true custom sound.
You can shift the position of the sound to any desired direction, like in front, behind or to either side of yourself as well as total surround sound.
Noise cancellation is awesome. TV on and I couldn't hear it at all,
But with the push of one of the two buttons I can allow ambient noise through when desired.
The only other button is the power button.
They even completely blocked out the train going down the tracks that are 1500 feet from our house as well as the trains horn blowing at 4 crossings in a one mile stretch that are usually disruptive to listening to anything.
The cat, and grass cutting outside and road noise as folks were coming home from work into the development were also totally silent.
Answering phone calls just takes a double tap to the touch panel on the outside of the right earpiece and the sound quality on my end of the conversation as well as on the other end according to my wife was really great as well.
Another double tap will end the conversation.
The touch panel on the right earpiece is also where you take care of volume adjustments by sliding your finger up to increase or down to decrease as well as to skip or repeat a track by sliding your finger forward or backward on the panel.
The touch panel functions can be handled from your phone as well if you want to do so.
They were super easy to pair with my iPhone and my Sony Xperia Xz2 android. They also easily paired with the TV soundbar and my laptop.
These are very sleek looking, adjustable for the perfect comfort fit, and a 30 hour battery life is absolutely fantastic.
Software updates for the headphones are done through Bluetooth from your phone and the headphone app.
They come with a:
Protective case
USB C to USB charging cable
Airline plugin adapter for using with an in flight movie
3.5 Audio jack plug in for a direct corded connection to your device if desired.
My only negative comment is the charging cable is way too short(Only around 8 inches) so I will be picking up another USB C to USB cable in a longer length

Excellent Entry Level Gaming Laptop
on August 10, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Several gaming laptops can take the Lenovo Legion Y 530 to task and easily win that contest, but not in this price range.
For what it is it’s an excellent general use laptop and a fair entry level gaming laptop.
1TB of storage lets you save large downloads, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Ti graphics card provides fluid smooth Full HD visuals on lesser graphic demanding games.
This Lenovo Legion gaming laptop has 16GB of RAM and a hexa-core Intel Core i7 processor for speedy responsive gameplay performance.
Smooth crisp non jittery display and great sound, again on less demanding games.
Its large-capacity 1TB hard drive at 7200 rpm provides tons storage, with a 16GB solid state drive as a cache to speed up start times and quickly access frequently needed data.
The built in Harmon/Kardon speakers create a virtual surround sound to enhance game play.
The Next-generation wireless connectivity of the Legion effortlessly connects to your network or hotspots on all current Wi-Fi standards.
Connect to a Wireless-AC router for speed nearly 3x faster than Wireless-N. The Gigabit Ethernet LAN port also plugs into wired networks.
The cooling system keeps the unit cooler than any other laptop I have owned.
As I mentioned this is also a great general use laptop, but especially oriented to gaming and its an awesome thing to have for high resolution digital video and photo processing and editing.
This is actually our second Y 530, the first being the 8 gig model, which I nearly instantly added another 8 gig to, making it the equivalent of this one.
I decided to save myself the time and trouble and just get the 16 gig to begin with this time.
All but the heavy near pro high graphics gamer should be very happy with this unassuming looking laptop, no need to advertise the fact that you have a gaming laptop in public, or heck even at work! LOL

Entry Level Gaming PC
on July 31, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
With an entry level price.
If you’re looking to step up your game, or should I say gaming a bit and keep the bucks under a cool $1000.00 price point this may be just the computer for you.
It’s not glitzy and alien-ish looking with glowing symbols and lights.
Instead it’s a rather unassuming normal looking computer in classic black.
It really smokes the more casual games with a lower FPS rate but chugs along a bit on higher graphic games like Hitman etc., and not a top choice for VR gaming either.
The Harmon Kardon speakers are fantastic for everything from special effects to music.
Love the fact that its a lighted keyboard with more of an easy touch keyboard, but many don’t like that in a gaming laptop and prefer the sharp snap of a more stiff keyboard, but I like it.
The huge 1TB hybrid can handle nearly anything that you throw at it by utilizing the SSD for the opsys and the SATA handles a ton data storage with ease.
The display is really good, showing a great deal of detail that adds to your gaming enjoyment.
The cooling fans keep this from overheating while you’re putting it thru the paces of rigorous game play.
The case itself is plastic, as it is on every laptop I have owned so far but seems to be very durable.
I went ahead and added another bank of ram to bump it up to 16 GB of ram but have not had the chance to get in a good session of game playing since the upgrade.
The entire back has to be removed and another metal plate needs to be removed after removing the battery, which must be done after removing the back, but disassembly and reassembly was relatively easy and was completed without hitting even the first snag.
I was a bit disappointed in the fact the Y530 does not have a CD Drive, but only $40.00 for an external and I was a happy camper.
Bottom Line:
Great Buy For An Entry Level Gaming Laptop for some of the easier lower graphic demanding games.

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.

And Setup Was Super Easy And Quick. :)
May 6, 2017
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.

My Error, These Are Not Noise Cancelling
May 22, 2017
I should have said "While these are not noise cancelling, they are equal to my Bose Noise Cancelling headphones in sound isolation."
Please pardon the error in my review. ;)

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 :)

Say goodbye to cords and cables with these Skullcandy Sesh true wireless headphones. Bluetooth technology seamlessly connects to your smartphone, tablet or PC, letting you stream music or take phone calls with the built-in microphone. 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.

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
