Unbelievably Small And Fast
on July 3, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff

I was expecting it to be compact being a SSD but this exceeded my expectations.
It also has rather rugged look and feel.
With the number of free or low priced "cloud" options portables dont have the same desireability as they once did for a lot of people, but we find them very useful.
We many times travel to areas that there is not that great of WiFi available to take a ton of photos, so having an external to back up the SD cards from the cameras is really a must for us.
And this being the size it is makes it even more portable than many others we have had in the past as its only .042 inches thick.
I can carry it in any pocket and its so light its hardly noticable, does not weigh you down at all.
It even fits in my cell holster with my iPhone X in it as well.
It can handle speeds up to 550mbps on the transfer of data and has an Ip55 water/dust resistant rating so splashes, rain sprinkles, spills or sweat is no problem at all.
Included is a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a Type-C to Type-A adapter, and I have a few USB C to C and USB C to A with us that we carry with us for one of the other phones and othe equipment so whatever device we need it on we are good to go.

A Very Nice Larger Size
on June 27, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
We have this Air Fryers little brother and found it to be an great appliance but its small size was limiting my options and I knew if I had a larger one I could do so much more.
So we went out and bought another brand (which we are very happy with) that had a touch screen and presets for various foods and I became a happy camper with the bigger Air Fryer, even doing a whole turkey breast.
Actually we liked it so much we decided a second one would be nice to have and decided that we would like to try this one as Phillips makes a very high quality appliance.
It's not touch screen, but really I usually just did a manual setting on it anyway so using only the time and temp dials on this is no hindrance at all
I really like the addition of a slide out basket trolley type slide as you dont have to lift out the basket and find a place to set it until your ready to eat and it make the occasional checking and shaking a breeze for the very same reason.
This versatile little device saves time on some things but others not so much but it does make delicious food.
Nearly anything you can cook in an oven or deep fryer with little modification to the recipe can be cooked in an air fryer.
In some ways its like a deep fryer that only requires a sprits of oil from a sprayer on some things, like poultry for super crisp and brown skin, while other things need no added oil at all.
My wife said the air fryer is where I have made the best wings ever.
And quick potato sides such as fries and tots come out perfect and very tasty.
This Phillips Air Fryer certainly does not heat the kitchen up much like an oven would or a deep fryer which is wonderful on hot summer days and evenings.
Its super easy to use (just remember to shake the basket or otherwise turn the food as needed) and every part of the basket assembly is dishwasher safe if needed or desired, but its usually a quick and simple wash in the sink.
It comes with a recipe book and there are tons and tons of recipes from meals to desserts on line.
I recommend you go ahead and pull the trigger and start experimenting today :)

White Noise For One Please!
on June 23, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
If you like to sleep with stereo tranquil sounds or white noise and your spouse or significant other does not these could be the tech you have been praying for.
Or live on a busy street or near a railroad track or airport, again these can help give you the nights sleep your looking for.
Now you cant play music thru them only the specific sounds provided and you need a smartphone with iOS or android to control them.
The absence of the ability to also play music may be a deal breaker for some as well as the need for a smartphone but I am fortunate enough to have both these and also wireless earbuds for my music.
The Noise Masking Earbuds by Bose are undoubtedly the most comfortable thing of any type I have ever put in my ear.
Sleeping with them in is of no problem as the fit is very snug and secure yet remains extreemly comfortable.
The level of masking is completly variable.
When I sleep with them I have them set to where I can still hear normal household noises that I might need to hear at night such as the smoke or intrusion alarm, glass breaking etc, yet masking the objectionable noises to a sound that is no longer disturbing and that allows me to drift off without being jerked out of my sleep by a disturbing noise.
You can turn them up to where its nearly impossible to hear most things yet not feel blasted away from the sound, but I find that unnerving, some sounds I want to hear when they occur.
The weekend night teens keeping the street hot as they go to the lake behind us is no longer at a bothersome level and neither are the nightly honks from the geese at the low level I use, but I could actually hear my phone ring or my wife ask me a question.
And by the time the midnight train rolls through the valley Im well asleep and the buds are still masking the trains horn.
I could hear it if I were awake but I have it masked to the point it will not wake me as it does sometimes without these in my ears
The app on the phone is where you select your sound and set your volume and set the timer from two hours to all night.
And in either event you can also set an alarm through the app that you can hear in the earbuds to make sure you wake up for work or whatever you need to get up for.
You should get two full nights or 16 hours out of a fully charged set of buds as well as another full charge from the case if you have it fully charged to begin with and that should cover you for a weekend trip without the need to recharge if your in a situation where charging is inconvenient
So if a fan or white noise generator just is not getting it done for you or those options are out consider dropping the coin for these.

Not Perfect But Very Good
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
These sound really good to me.
I like base and these have an excellent base response without overpowering the other tones.
Noise canceling to a great degree but of course anything that does not entirely cover the ear, depending on nearby noise will let in some noise but they in general do a good job and enhance your listening experience.
No disconnects or jitters or digital scratching was noticed at all and they functioned flawlessly and sounded great when answering a phone call. (No need to get the phone out of its case or from the table, these have you covered)
They run just under 3 hours for me and then the case has two additional charges in it so let em charge up from the case and keep on listening after a bit.
I find them to be very comfortable and secure in my ears and actually smaller and a bit lighter than my Bose Soundsport Free wireless headphones.
NFC or bluetooth connectivity.
IPX4 rating (Safe for splashes and sweat)
Easy adjustment in the sound setting from the app on your phone.
(iOS or Android, I have both, they work fine with either).
Google assistant works thru them with a download.
Ambient noise can be minimized or allowed in as desired by just changing modes.

It Just took Once...Im A Fan For Sure!!
on May 7, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
After my first use, I am a fan
I did 8oz cold whole milk, 1/2 cup of strawberries, a small nanner and a scoop of protien powder and a few ice cubes.
Just like drinking a HUGE low cal milkshake, and it was really good
Could have cut the carbs in half by eliminating the nanner but was just experimenting with the nutrition calculaton system.
Ya put an app on your smartphone and this weighs the ingredients as you add them and name them.
Save the recipe for future meals and snacks so you easily know the data for that smoothie.
And of course when your in a hurry it can be used manually without the app.
It completly liquifies your ingredients.
Go healthy or go delicious or strike a healthy and happy medium, your in control, its up to you.

This Is A Great Powermop
on April 23, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
My wife and I couldnt be happier to have this to clean with.
Our hardwoods are new and kids are all grown and gone so they dont get really dirty except for normal dust and cat sneezes on them.
All we used on that was plain water and the normal cleaning pads and they were beautiful.
The kitchen vinyl takes more abuse because of drips and drops while cooking, cleaning and taking out the garbage.
Plus its alight color and we live in coal country about 1500' away from the main track between the mines and the local power plant and coal dust is an issue as we track it in and the vinyl seems to be a magnet for it.
It was hard to clean with conventional mops but this power mop gets it so clean that it almost looks and feels like a new floor.
We cleaned it with the Bissell cleaner provided with the powermop and it did a superior job of getting into the texture on the floor and it really dries fast, its nearly dry when you finish.
The battery was only 1/3 depleated and we cleaned the Kitchen, Dining and living room combo and the bathroom.
The bathroom flooring is the luxury snap lock vinyl and we used the Bissell cleaning solution on that as well.

I Feel I Started At The Top For My First Android
on April 14, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
I have had an iPhone since they first came out and have always been happy with them, but decided to give an Android a try this time.
It was easy for me to find all the In's and Out's of this new phone as I spend a lot of time working on and using computers and related equipment daily.
This Sony Xperia XZ2 is about the most stunning phone I have ever owned. It has a sturdy aluminum frame with a gorilla glass front and back. The back is slightly convex for a better fit in the hand than if it were completly flat.
But being Gorilla Glass front and back, also makes it the absolute most slippery phone I have ever had.
Sliding right out of a pocket, off the lap desk and even vibrated off the end table until I put a very inexpensive case that I managed to find online on the phone and that took care of the slickness and Im now happy with that.
Speaking of the back, most of the criticism I have seen is about the fingerprint sensors location on the back of the phone.
Many seem to dislike that and even question the intellegence of the designers, but after using it, in less than a day, I was a really big fan of it being on the back and find it in a convenient natural place for myself to use.
I also didnt like the dedicated camera quick launch button as I hit it every time I used the phone, but found out its very easy to disable and arm again at will in the camera settings so I turned it off...one more issue, at least for me, solved.
And as for the camera, it is 19MP and takes ome of the crispest vibrant photos of any phone I have owned.
It also has excellent video capabilities you can check out in depth at the company website.
Its display is unbelievable with a crisp clear image, no matter if its photo, video or gaming.
The speakers deliver loud and clear true stereo sound.
The processor is a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 845 Mobile Platform and that makes it one of the fastest phones on the market.
Its Dynamic Vibration is another feature folks who play games ( It Has Sony Playstation App Pre Installed) will really enjoy as it brings games more to life as you can feel whats going on in the game.
Music lovers will like that feature as well.
With many more features standard I really suggest you check the Sony Xperia Xz2 page out for yourself and get all the details on all of them.
Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that Sony, like Apple on the new iPhones have done away with the 3.5 headphone jack, however Sony includes a set of headphones and the adapter to use then thru the USB 3.0 charging connection even simultaneously while charging the phone. That is no issue for me at all, I went wireless with headphones and earbuds a very long time ago.
Also, at this time since its new to the market, cases and other sony accesories are few and far between but that is a usual when I new phone comes out. I cant stress enough how slick this phone is without a case and highly recommend finding one with a grip to it online as soon as possible after or even before you make the purchase.
It has Wireless charging (Qi) as an option so any Qi wireless charging device will work just fine.
So far I really love this phone and make it a little more customized every day to fit my wants, needs and personality and think you cant go wrong with the Xperia Xz 2 if your looking for a high end Android

Up to 24 Hours of Music, a party in a box!

from Saint Albans WV
The sound from such a small package is unbelievably good, and if one speaker is not enough you can buy additionals or have a friend bring theirs along and link them together for even more bone shaking sound.
The XB in the model number is for Extra Base and this does have extra base for sure and as an added bonus it had LED party lights that can detect tapping from five different directions thanks to the built-in accelerometer, which generates a sound and lighting reaction for a party atmosphere.
Another bonus is its IP67 waterproof rating (fully waterproof) making it safe and survivable for even a pool party or the beach

Good Little Office Assistant

Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
Beautiful copies and great resolution on the scans.
Setup was super easy from my iPhone, I had no problems with the inital setup and adding the device to my WiFi network nor have I had any paper feeding or jam issues.
If your printing needs are 100-400 pages a month or less this will be a great little printer for your home or office.
This HP ENVY all-in-one printer works with letter, legal, 4 x 6 in., 5 x 7 in, 8 x 10 in., and No. 10 envelopes.
Control your printer with a tap and swipe – 2.2-in. (5.58 cm) capacitive touchscreen hi-res monochrome LCD graphics.
And at this price you would be hard pressed to find a better 3 in one!

Not Your Typical Range Booster
on March 8, 2018
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
This Range extender will actually extend you signal with the same Network name, not just pick up a signal and rebroadcast it with a different name, so connectivity is constant to the same network, just as strong as it is to begin with. (Seamless Roaming)
If you gave Network 1 for example, lesser routers will rebroadcast that as Network 1A or other designated name.
This Linksys -RE 9000 carries your signal thru a 5 GHz backhaul signal (or speeds up to 3X faster than Dual-Band range extenders) between itself and your router and will provide a 5Ghz and a 2.4 Ghz band out to your devices to your devices.
It has true MU-MIMO capabilities and will work with any WiFi router, but keep in mind the better the router you have to begin with the better your signal will be to the extender and your network devices.
It can be easily set up with the Lynksys app on your smartphone and that app has a spot finder app to assist in optimal placement for the best signal and coverage extension.
I am using mine with LINKSYS EA9500 MAX-STREAM AC5400 MU-MIMO GIGABIT WI-FI ROUTER which was awesome to begin with but now I have no dead zones at all in my brick rancher over a basement.
The 4 Ethernet ports in it also give you an additional place to hook up wired devices and can be configured as an additional access point .
Simply connect the AC 3000 range extender using a Gigabit Ethernet cable to your router or cable gateway to upgrade your Wi-Fi connectivity to used as a Wired Extender and Wired Access point (WAP)
Setup is very simple. With all the help you might possibly need directly on the products web page from Linksys for initial set up, operation and configuration options.
So far not even the first problem or connectivity issue and really dot expect any
You will not regret spending the bucks when you see how well this works.

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

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.

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.

If your TV supports Bluetooth connections or you chose to go wired and the TV has a 3.5 audio jack.

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
