A good security camera with some foibles
on November 9, 2021

Pros:
Very compact device
Great image quality
Offers both local and cloud storage (for a fee)
Can be pivoted remotely for checking out a large area

Cons:
Motion detection is very hit or miss
Sometimes takes a while to connect (by which time whatever triggered it is long gone)

I got this camera because I'm horribly paranoid that my house is going to explode / flood / fall apart / get broken into / etc. . .. while I'm at work. I thought that it would be comforting to be able to view my home remotely periodically throughout the day to make sure that it's still in one piece.
From that standpoint, this camera works great.
As a security camera, this camera is "meh."
I found that the motion trigger was extremely erratic. I would be moving around in front of the camera doing chores, and it wouldn't register my presence at all. Other times, I would quickly pass by on my way to grab something, and it would immediately react to my presence. It wasn't at all consistent.
Setting up the camera was a little tricky as I didn't want to store video locally OR on the cloud. Unfortunately, this isn't an option within the app. I ended up opting for the free 30 days of cloud storage, and I'll pick up a cheap micro-SD card to store video locally once that expires (assuming that I can't forgo storage completely).
The image quality is really good, and I was particularly impressed by the night vision. Being able to rotate the camera freely means that this can monitor an enormous area.
I'm pretty happy with this camera. It brings me a fair amount of peace of mind and helps keep my paranoia in check.

Lots of features but not exactly intuitive
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I'm very impressed by the feature set of this alarm system.
It's both an alarm, and it's a WiFi router.
It also comes with a whole slew of different sensors.
It's both an alarm, and it's a WiFi router.
It also comes with a whole slew of different sensors.
I got this because I had to replace my router anyway, and I was interested in getting a security system for my home.
You will need to download and install both the Eero app (for WiFi) and the Ring app (for the security system) to get this device to work.
As a router, it's not bad. I was a little disappointed by its range (it doesn't extend quite as far as my previous router), but it's every bit as fast. I like the fact that Eero sells expansion units that can be used to expand the range of the router. I'm probably going to pick one up to extend my WiFi coverage.
I was a little disappointed that it doesn't have more ethernet ports. I'm used to routers having four or more, but this device only has two.
The instructions that come with the router are unclear on what the micro-SD card slot can be used for. I wasn't able to get it to recognize the micro-SD card that I tried in it, but that could have been an issue with my card.
I was also disappointed that the Eero app seemingly doesn't allow you to separate the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz bands. I was hoping to create two, separate, WiFi networks. One for my Smart Home devices (2.4 ghz) and one for my computers and the like (5 ghz). Unfortunately, I couldn't make this happen.
As an alarm system, this device was pretty easy to set up.
It comes with a keypad, a z-wave range extender, multiple door/window sensors, and a motion sensor.
Again, the instructions for the keypad were sorely lacking. There are three basic states to the alarm: Deactivated, At Home, or Away. You will need to enter your pin code (created during setup) any time you want to switch between modes. "Deactivated" stops any motion sensors or door/window sensors from triggering your alarm, "At Home" turns on your door/window sensors (but leaves any motion sensor turned off), and "Away" turns on all of your sensors after a short delay (allowing you to exit the premises).
Along the left side of the keypad are quick action buttons for various emergency services (requires a service plan).
As a pet owner, I have to say that I'm not keen on the motion sensor. It supposedly has technology to prevent your furry friends from triggering it, but I found it inconsistent at best. You may want to pass on this component if you have a furry friend.
Installing the door and window sensors was extremely simple. They are very forgiving, and you just need to have the two halves within about an inch of each other to get them to work. The adhesive on the back of the sensors is surprisingly strong too.
I'm quite happy with this device. It filled my need for a new router, and it also provides me with a certain degree of peace of mind for when I'm not at home.

Some initial concerns, but okay now
on October 16, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
For the first three days that I had this camera, I was absolutely thrilled with it and could not stop singing its praises.
Image quality was terrific, the light was nice and bright, the night vision was AMAZINGLY sharp, and the app was easy to use.
Installation was a little tricky, but I managed to get the camera setup after separating my network's 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz bands into two different names.
After the third day, we received a light, misty rain.
At that point, the camera spontaneously disconnected from WiFi and would not reconnect.
I brought the camera in and let it dry out for two days. During this time, it managed to get itself back onto my network; and it installed a firmware update.
Since then, I haven't had any issues. We've even had two days of fairly heavy storms, and the camera continues to function just fine.
I'm still a little anxious about this camera and inclement weather. But for the most part, I'm quite pleased with it.

Rather small, but well made and flashy
on October 11, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I like this controller. It's well constructed, and I like the fact that it can be personalized.
This controller feels small to me. My hands are rather "average", but I feel like I'm struggling to hit the shoulder buttons and triggers more compared to other Xbox controllers.
This isn't a deal breaker though.
After a few minutes of gameplay, you start to get used to the narrower controller grip. The joysticks are responsive and easy to aim, the triggers have switches on the back so that you can tailor them to your taste, and the back of the controller has a lightly pebbled grip so that it rests comfortably in your hand.
The controller comes with a nice, long braided cable. Surprisingly, it's detachable and plugs into the controller with a micro-USB connection. I find the fact that it's detachable a little odd since this controller only works as a wired controller. Maybe they added this so that you could replace it if the cable breaks?
As far as personalization goes, the controller has three lighting zones that you can customize: The outer border, the left thumbstick and X/Y/B/A buttons, and the d-pad and right thumbstick. Each zone can be customized individually to display a different color. I'm rocking an orange / blue theme at the moment that looks really cool.
I would recommend this controller to anyone looking for a fun controller that they can tailor to their taste.

Setup was truly awful - works okay
on October 11, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I originally got this with the intent of using it on a drawer. Unfortunately, the instructions don't provide any direction on how to install it in a drawer. Fortunately, I had a cabinet that needed a lock as well.
The initial setup was absolutely horrible.
The mounting guide didn't fit properly, it took almost a dozen tries to get it to connect to Wi-Fi, it went into some kind of install loop and had me register again and again and again . . ., and after I finally got it connected . . . it randomly disconnected and wouldn't reconnect until I rebooted my phone.
Now all of that being said, it is a very secure clock. When it latches, it latches very strongly and feels quite solid.
Given how horrible setup was, I wouldn't really recommend this device. However, to be fair, it seems to work perfectly fine once you get through the setup.

Well constructed and stylish
on October 3, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
This Satechi USB hub is well constructed and stylish.
The hub is metal and solidly built. There is no "creaking" to it at all, and it feels very premium.
The hub has 2 USB type-A ports, a USB type-C power port, a full-size HDMI port, a micro-SD card slot, a full-size SD card slot, and an ethernet port. The ethernet port is one of those with the hinge that pops out. I found it to be very VERY stiff. I worried that I was breaking it trying to get it open.
My one complaint about the construction of the hub is that the cable is too short. I prefer to have my hubs sitting flat on my desk or flush to the device (as opposed to dangling in mid-air). This one can't quite manage that.
I also wish that it had another USB type-C port for data. I'm in that awkward state where about half of my devices and flash drives are USB type-A and half are USB type-C.
I'm quite happy with this hub, and I would recommend it to anyone needing more ports.

Scratchy and uncomfortable
on September 22, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I personally wasn't a fan of these face masks.
I found them to be quite scratchy at the edges and uncomfortable. The edges rub like sandpaper against my cheeks, and the sensation is quite unpleasant.
The masks have a silicone nose piece to ensure a proper seal and fit and to prevent your glasses from steaming up. No matter how I positioned my nose against the nose piece, I couldn't get the mask to fit comfortably.
I honestly couldn't wear these for more than fifteen minutes at a time.
These masks are okay for a quick trip into a store, but I would not recommend them for wearing all day at work or school.

Comfortable controller
on September 14, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I found this controller to be quite comfortable.
I was worried that it would be too small since it was marketed as a "compact" controller. I found that wasn't the case at all though. The controller fits quite comfortably in my "average" size hands, and I had no issues reaching any of the buttons or triggers.
The buttons and triggers are good sized, and I had no issues with accidental presses or missed presses.
I wish that this controller was cordless. But the cord length isn't bad at all. My TV stand is a good distance away from my couch, and the cord managed to stretch the distance easily.
I also used this controller on my gaming laptop. There is a dedicated Windows 10 app for controlling things like trigger sensitivity and joystick sensitivity. I found the app worked well, but it didn't really add too much in the way of functionality to this controller.
All in all, I would recommend this as a good secondary controller.

A study in compromise. Adequate but not great.
on August 25, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
I’m knocking two stars off this review because my first ASUS TUF F17 laptop was defective. There was something wrong with the graphics card hardware that caused the laptop to freeze and/or get the “blue screen of death” anytime I had it on battery for more than ten minutes.
ASUS should really be doing a better job with quality control on their products.
Having said that, I’ll give them a star back for excellent customer service and support. I received a replacement laptop, and I used it to complete this review.
This laptop offers excellent performance, but certain design choices hold this laptop back from feeling particularly “premium.” This laptop compromises across the board by combining premium components with various, cheaper, cost-saving measures.
The laptop is mostly plastic. I think that the lid might be clad in a thin sheet of metal, but that’s it. I’m not certain how they can market this as “Military Grade” as it certainly doesn’t seem all that rugged. The keyboard deck is very plasticky, and it (unfortunately) has a fair amount of flex to it.
Build quality in general is “adequate.” I’ve certainly worked on flimsier laptops, but I’ve worked on better ones too.
The keyboard is backlit with a fully customizable, multi-color backlight. This is a nice premium touch, and the keyboard is generally quite pleasant to type on. The keyboard includes a number pad along the right-hand side, and the keys have a nice amount of travel to them.
The touchpad is nice and large. I have mixed feelings about the buttons on the touchpad. On the one hand, I like the fact that they included dedicated buttons instead of ambiguous right and left click “zones.” On the other hand, the buttons are extremely plasticky and contribute to the whole “less than premium” vibe.
The screen is big, bright, and wide. It’s just about perfect for gaming. This is my favorite thing about this laptop.
Overall, I’d say that the laptop aesthetic is “gamery” enough to be fun; but it’s not so over-the-top that it would stand out too much in a lecture hall or coffee shop.
Battery life is abysmal at a little more than 2 hours with only light internet browsing and no games or multimedia playing. This is to be expected on most gaming laptops though as quality screens and dedicated GPUs tend to use more power. I certainly can’t fault ASUS for this.
The i5 CPU and RTX 350TI graphics card offer excellent performance. This laptop does skimp on RAM some, but most of my games still ran just fine on 8GB.
Storage is somewhat paltry at less than 500GB. Most modern titles take up 30-50GB of space. At less than 500GB, you should only expect to install a handful of modern games.
To their credit, the SSD that they included does seem to boot up quickly, and loading times weren’t bad at all.
The system comes with ASUS’ “Armoury Crate” software for controlling settings, monitoring system resources, and controlling the keyboard backlight.
I have to say that I’m not terribly impressed by it.
Armoury Crate was unable to see any of my games (including modern triple-A titles), The software also directs me to install ASUS’ “Aura Creator” software for more advanced lighting effects. Upon going to ASUS’ site though, it tells you that Aura Creator has been discontinued and its features have been moved to Armoury Crate (which begs the question, “Why did it tell me to download this instead?”).
This laptop compromises across the board to produce a machine that is affordable, works relatively well, and gets the job done. If all you’re looking for is an entry-level device for casual gaming, then this would be an excellent choice for you.

This is the best laptop that I've ever had.
on August 22, 2021
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
This is a truly incredible gaming laptop, and I am truly very VERY happy with it.
The laptop has two USB type-C ports, 1 USB type-A port, a micro-SD card reader, a full-size HDMI port, and a headphone / mic port. With the exception of the headphone / mic port, all of the ports are on the back of the device.
I’m not quite sure how I feel about this. The back of the machine makes a lot of sense for plugging in a wired mouse (you don’t have to worry about “left-side” versus “right-side” and whether or not the cable is going to be in the way), but it makes less sense when plugging in things like flash drives (since you have to flip the device around to see where you’re plugging the drive into). This doesn’t matter as much if you’re not using this device for content creation.
The laptop apparently comes with an empty hard drive slot if you need to expand the storage. At 500GB of solid state storage, the laptop has enough room for the operating system, your browser of choice, and “a few” modern games. Personally, I’m a little hesitant to break open brand new tech for the sake of installing more storage for games that I’ll probably never even get around to playing. Fortunately for me, this laptop has a micro-SD slot. I can pop in a 256GB card and install my older (smaller) games to it instead of the SSD. Yes, the read/write speed will be slower. But for older titles, it doesn’t make all that much difference. If you’re careful with your installs (and don’t mind carrying an SD card case with a few different cards), then you can swap cards and take a TON of games with you on the go.
I LOVE the fact that they included this slot.
Battery life comes in at just a little bit more than 2 hours with light usage (i.e. browsing the web and not actively gaming). This isn’t terribly surprising given the high quality screen and GPU that this device is powering. Lower battery life is a small tradeoff for the sheer quality of this device.
I was able to play my go-to MMO on maximum settings with no issues. Image quality was seriously impressive.
The fan speed did kick up as I ramped up the quality settings. It was loud, but it wasn’t just crazy loud. And while the device did get quite warm, it didn’t feel like it was getting dangerously warm. Fun fact, if you want to manually kick the laptop into overdrive, press the F1 function key to immediately go into “High Performance Mode.”
The F2-F6 function keys are unassigned macro-keys. The included Alienware software can be used to easily program them for a variety of functions. This software can also be used to control the keyboard and accent lighting with a nice range of effects.
Volume controls are along the right-side of the keyboard. This is a little unusual, but it seems to work well.
The typing experience on the keyboard is pretty good. The keyboard has virtually no flex to it, but I did find that I had trouble with periodically missing keystrokes. I attribute this to the relatively shallow key travel and not to a true hardware fault. I do find the extra “bump” on the “S” key to be more distracting than helpful.
The exterior of the laptop is covered in an off-white, “ceramic-like” material. I was more than a little concerned with the white finish as I worried that it would look worn and shabby in minutes. The slight, off-white color softens the look some; and whatever this material is seems to resists fingerprints well.
The power brick is surprisingly small given the fact this is a gaming laptop. I had no trouble fitting it into my laptop bag.
On my first outing with this laptop, I had people literally coming up to me at the coffee shop to marvel at it. It definitely has a striking look.
I think this laptop will last me a good long time, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium gaming laptop.

So if it comes with two, I'm assuming you have one that internet is linked to by cable and the other is used as a extender? Or do you have to have both units hooked to cable?
The router portion is connected to your modem via an Ethernet cable, but the satellite / extender unit links up to the router wirelessly. The only wire that you need to have connected to the extender is the power cord.

Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>
How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.
I haven't tried the two vacuums that you mentioned, but I can say that I was surprised that this vacuum wasn't terribly loud.
Given it's size and the number of vents coming out of it, I expected it to be deafening. Upon turning it on, I was surprised by just how mild the sound was. It'll definitely drown out a television or radio some, but you'll still be able to hear people talking over it.
