A great way to juice up a decorative light

This light bulb can delight in multiple ways for the right fixture in your home. The smart bulb capabilities through the app are really cool, providing a multitude of light variations on demand. I connected mine and love that I can have my smart speaker system turn the light on and off on demand without needing to use the app. I am definitely a fan of this whole system and definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a smart bulb.

A highly powerful suite of photo tools
on December 20, 2017
Posted by: BestBuyFanDan
from Baltimore, MD
I am highly pleased with the Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 2018 suite of tools that make managing your catalog of photos and videos a breeze. The first thing that really impressed me was how simple it was for me to quickly import all my photos into the library and eliminate in the process literally thousands of duplicate files! I had accumulated many gigabytes of photo images in my library and over the years had duplicated most of the best pictures by copying them to folders to help me see what I had placed on one digital frame, posted to social media, shared with friends and family and so on. Over the years I've also tried to sort my photos into folders arranged by family, friends, trips, date taken - a host of different ways in an attempt to be able to organize and access them easily. In one short action, by importing all those folders into the Adobe suite, I was instantly gifted a single location where all my photos - and NO DUPLICATES - were available for me to manage. The ORGANIZER feature is perhaps one of my very favorite. It provides a one stop shop to view my entire catalog of photos by people, place and event. It also provides the ability to tag faces and quickly examine potential matches so that once you've completed and reviewed them all, you can literally view all the pictures you have in your library for any individual with one click - a real time saver when you're looking for a pic to share. The photo and video editing capabilities are best in breed as you'd expect from Adobe - I'm sure I'll be learning more and more about all those features as I continue to use these applications for years to come. I am extremely delighted with this suite of tools and highly recommend them!

A great cordless, hand-held, whole home vacuum
on November 15, 2017
Posted by: BestBuyFanDan
from Baltimore, MD
I was pleased with the ease of use and overall performance of the Hoover Fusion cordless vacuum. I decided to really test its mettle and set at cleaning out the cat condo, something this handheld device would be ideal for. I was not disappointed. I emptied the canister three times (it had admittedly been a while apparently) and now plan to do that every time I clean since it will now be a breeze. The machine itself is very intuitive. It provides a clear indication of the battery level and cleaning mode, and the release buttons for the battery and waste container where right where you'd expect them to be. The on demand power trigger feature is great if you want to conserve power or for precision cleaning, or double click to stay on - very simple. The battery is great - I was able to use the device to clean my entire 4-story townhome without recharging. The provided wall mount and separate charging station make it easy to store and keep at the ready. Overall I am very impressed with this device and happily recommend it to anyone looking for a multi-feature handheld vacuum.

A great trimmer with attachments for every need
on November 9, 2017
Posted by: BestBuyFanDan
from Baltimore, MD
I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer number of attachments that came with this multi-function trimmer. From varied trimming blades providing extra wide, full size and precision and nose trimming attachments to a multitude of guard attachments for stubble, beard, hair and body trimming, the Phillips Norelco multi-groom serves every conceivable "man-scaping" need in a single device. The included pouch is especially helpful in keeping all these attachments in a single place. Using the trimmer is everything you'd expect from a Norelco electric trimmer. The blades are sufficiently sharp to avoid snagging, and all the included guards ensure that you don't cut yourself but can still achieve the desired trimming effect. It charges up quickly and holds the charge for quite a few uses before needing to be recharged. I am delighted with this device and am happy to recommend this to anyone looking for an all-in-one trimming device.

A top-of-the-line Chromebook sure to delight
on October 22, 2017
Posted by: BestBuyFanDan
from Baltimore, MD
I am highly impressed with this Acer Chromebook. With very little exposure to the Google Chrome world, I was concerned that I'd have a difficult time adapting to this operating system. What I quickly discovered, the Chrome OS is similarly intuitive to other OS's I've used. Owners of a Droid phone will feel very much at home with the shared ecosystem, with the whole host of apps on that platform available in the Google Play store. I was also pleased to find the office productivity applications I typically use were also available. Overall I found adapting to this OS to be just as straightforward as others.
As for the machine itself, it delights on so many levels. First the screen is super large - and a TOUCHSCREEN as well. It may be a bit tight to fit into some briefcases because of its width, but I was able to fit it comfortably in mine with two other devices without any issue. It offers all the ports you could need, including two USB-C and two USB-3.0 connections, a micro-SD card slot, an anchor slot for a security lock and a headphone jack.
As for system performance, this device is top of the line, boasting an intel Pentium processor, 1920x1080 Full HD resolution, speedy MIMO wireless and a battery with upwards of 12 hours life on a single charge.
I am delighted with my new Chromebook and gladly recommend this device to anyone looking for a great machine. I'm confident you won't be disappointed!

Quick and easy fine chopping

from Baltimore, MD
I'm not the most experienced cook and have often struggled with chopping ingredients by hand using a knife and chopping block. The Philips MultiChopper makes doing this a breeze. The ChopDrop technology leveraging the ChopDrop blade unit and multichopper basket ensures that you get perfectly diced onions and similar items in seconds. It even comes with a handy recipe book to help you make salsa, guacamole, hummus and other tasty treats. I am happy to recommend this product to any cook.

Fully capable Apple Watch charging cable
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: BestBuyFanDan
from Baltimore, MD
I found this apple watch cable to be fully capable in charging my Apple Watch 2. I liked that the cable is black instead of the typical white cable that came with the watch, and the extra few inches length comes in handy to be able to plug this into the wall and still be able to reach the top of my desk. I can comfortably recommend this cable to anyone with an Apple watch looking for an additional or replacement charging cable. NOTE: this product contains the cable only - you will need a wall plug with a USB input for this to be plugged into for this to charge your watch.

Nice monitor but not audio capable
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: BestBuyFanDan
from Baltimore, MD
I like the size and dimensions of the Acer SA230 bi monitor. It has a very thin profile and provides a great wide screen image. The display depicts colors very well - very comparable with other monitor brands I've used. It offers VGA and HDMI inputs - my one and only issue with this monitor is that when you connect with an HDMI cable from your computer, you will not hear any sounds. On my computer, when an HDMI cable is connected, it routes sound through that connection as well, so when I'm connected to this monitor without speakers, I just don't hear any sound. I reached out to the Acer support using their chat feature and confirmed that my model does not have speakers, but they did not have any suggestion on how I might be able to hear audio from my computer when connected. I suspect that there are ways and will continue to research that in Windows forums, but this is question cannot be one only I am encountering, so it would be advisable for them to find a better answer in my opinion. If you connect with VGA, this issue does not occur as VGA connections only deal with display.

Unbelievably rich sound from a tiny speaker!
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: BestBuyFanDan
from Baltimore, MD
In a word, the best way to sum up this device is WOW!! I was totally amazed at the incredibly rich and vibrant sound that this tiny little speaker produces. I have several Bluetooth speakers that I use around my home and this tiny little speaker from Bose totally blows them ALL out of the water! The sound that this device produces completely lives up to all the hype I've heard about how great the Bose wave sound system is. I tried a few different genres of music to get a feel for how well this speaker performs and can definitively say that I've never heard such rich tones fill my room like I experienced listening through this speaker. The speaker is so small, I was expected that it might be able to reach a slightly higher decibel than listening through the speaker on my ipad, but as I listened to some of my favorite classical works, it felt as though the orchestra was sitting in my living room playing for me. I can't overstate my satisfaction with this device - it has immediately become my device of choice. I expect to get many hours of enjoyment from use of this device for years to come.

Will this be a CD software or an internet download version?

This can be either. I purchased the hard copy CD but then ended up downloading the installation package from the website when I decided to install it on a machine without a CD?DVD drive, so even if you happened to purchase the hard copy, you will be able to download and install - you just need to ensure you retain the serial number / product code from the original package to complete the installation after you've downloaded the installation files.
