Great Speaker and Clock with Google Assitiant
on January 27, 2018

from Winterville, NC
The Insignia Voice Smart Bluetooth speaker has Google Assistant. It is Best Buys own Google Home equivalent with a clock built in! The Speaker has great sound. The microphone can pick up my voice commands even in noisy environments.
The soft blue green digits are not too bright to be annoying but bright enough to see in any light.
The google assistant can be set up from the google home app on an android or IOS device. You can also add family members as guests so it recognizes their preferences when a voice command is given.
You can stream music to the device through Bluetooth or let it play natively from the source you set up in the google home app. You can play news and other podcasts as well.
If you want privacy you can mute the microphone from a button on the back of the device.
There are hard volume keys on the top as well as the voice commands to control the volume.
The wifi connected without difficulty and has maintained a stable connection.
I am very pleased with this well built Speaker.

Beautiful and functional

The Honeywell Smart Color internet connected thermostat is a well designed device with an astetically pleasing and very user friendly user interface. You can choose a variety of colors for the led display to Match your decor. Programming is a breeze. You need to first set up an account with Honeywell. The guided setup will walk you through creating a schedule for your home, you can also choose manual mode. You will also be asked what type of system you have, usually this is not a problem unless you have a split combo unit like me! Mine is a heating pump with a gas pack for heat..hmm what works for that? Forced air! If I choose heat pump heat comes on when the themostat says cool. After you have the right settings the themostat works flawlessly. You will either have to install the thermostat yourself or have a heating and air tech do it. The installation is very easy. There are also videos on YouTube. You need to have a power wire, the "C" wire if you don't you will have to use one of many solution for this. Honeywell has support to help.
This themostat is internet connected there is an Android and iPhone app as well as an Alexa skill for remote control of the device. Voice control with your Amazon Alexa enabled device is cool! (That was a themostat pun) The device also shows the current indoor and outdoor temp and humidity on the home screen. I really like this it is a vast upgrade from our manual themostat and I no longer have to change the temp on waking and leaving my home with the added plus of being able to set the temp if I am coming home early from my smart phone.

The Epson EX 9210 is a Compact lightweight full featured professional business video projector. It has the brightness (3,400 lumens) nessesary to make a presentation in a lighted room. With it’s 3LCD DLP projection engine it produces vivid color in a 1080p+ WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) format. It supports resizing output to 800 x 600 (SVGA), 1024 x 768 (XGA), 1152 x 864 (SXGA), 1280 x 800 (WXGA), 1280 x 960 (SXGA2), 1280 x 1024 (SXGA3), 1440 x 900 (WXGA+), 1400 x 1050 (SXGA+), 1600 x 900 (WXGA++), 1680 x 1050 (WSXGA+). This projector can produce up to a 300 inch image with 15,000:1 contrast and up to 1.07 billion colors. Inputs are Wireless, USB PC free, USB plug and play for audio and video (PC and Mac), HDMI, MHL, VGA, Composite video RCA and stereo audio RCA. There is a 2 W built in mono speaker or you can use Bluetooth (my preference) or wired speaker from your device. Bulb life is rated at 10,000 hours, and the replacement lamps are very inexpensive.
The projector comes with an Epson wireless dongle allowing you to send your presentation from an IOS, android or PC without wires. For mobile devices you can scan the QR code on the screen and it will set your wireless network properly for connection. I did have problems with my Google Fi phone connecting until I turned off the cellular data, after the connection was made I could turn it back on. My tablet and iphone connected without any problems. The presentation beamed wirelessly without any problems. Video will work wirelessly but at a very low bitrate. If you want high resolution 1080p video you are better off with the HDMI connection which worked flawlessly. The projector has manual correction for keystone and off center projection giving you a lot of flexibility in projector location while still achieving a great picture.
A great carrying case, full remote and HDMI, VGA and USB cable are included so you are good to go with any device.
I found this projector easy to carry and set up with it’s fabulous picture and brightness it is the best choice for professional presentations.

Great VR goggles light and comfortable
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: Idoc
from Winterville, NC
The MergeVR are virtual reality goggles based on Google cardboard. These goggles are lightweight and constructed of a foam material. The foam construction makes the goggles comfortable to wear and prevents light leaks. The optics in these goggles seem to be really good and create less distortion than my cheaper VR goggles. This is important if you are sensitive to VR allowing longer use. These goggles have selection buttons on the top for integrated actions in games and apps. You can use these goggles with any virtual reality application that supports Google cardboard. Merge has their own curated application site https://mergevr.com/miniverse where you can find many games educational apps and tours. Merge has an accessory called the Merge Cube for an augmented reality experience, this works well with these goggles and is really cool!
If you are looking for some good VR goggles for an affordable price these are a great choice.

Oh yeah! Affordable Augmented reality
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: Idoc
from Winterville, NC
The Merge HoloCube and Goggles from are awesome! Merge Virtual Reality has created an augmented reality (AR) power duo that allows you to hold and interact with holographic objects.
The MergeCube is a 2 inches square foam cube with weird patterns on each face. Looking like some alien artifact from a Marvel movie! Using VR glasses either Merges own or another cardboard viewer you load up the Merge things or other merge cube app on your smartphone and place them in the goggles, the cube is then replaced with a holographic image. When looking at the Cube it is replaced by a 3D hologram allowing the user to rotate the it or even pull it closer to look at details. When playing a game you move the cube for example to fly a spaceship. I felt this control was much more natural than a joystick. The future games and interactive applications are only limited by the developers imagination. I could imagine these being used in interactive TV or movies as well. I do recommend having a newer phone for the more graphics intensive applications. I was able to get my Nexus 6p to fit in the MergeVR goggles but had to stretch it a bit (it is made of a flexible foam..very comfortable) regular phones should fit with no problems. There are Android and IOS apps available.
This is a great interactive device the first affordable consumer application for augmented reality. I recommend it for all kids and any gamer looking for a different experience.

Powerful with great maneuverability
on October 14, 2017
Posted by: Idoc
from Winterville, NC
The Shark navigator is a powerful highly maneuverable Vacuum cleaner. The navigator is a bag free HEPA system. The collection chamber is large allowing alot of vacuuming to be done before you have to empty it. The cord is long so you don't have to play the plug game while vaccuming a large area. The vacuum can be operated with or without the roller brush , controlled by the power switch position i or ii. Cleaning and emptying the collection container is easy. A power pet hair brush and crevice tool are included. Initial assembly is mostly a snap together affair except for one nut and bolt for the handle. The included instructions are clear and there is a phone number for support if needed. The weight is 15 lbs on par with most other vacuums in it's class.
This is a welcome addition to our household cleaning tools.

Great sound, light and comfortable

The Jaybird Freedom2 wireless earbuds are the most comfortable in the ear headphones I own. The sound is great! The Bluetooth connection is easy and stable. There is an Android and iOS app to adjust the sound profile of the headsets that works well and is easy to use but not nessesary for the earbuds to work. The headphones come with an extended battery pack/charger which snaps on the control box. The control box has an internal battery that lasts about 4 hours the extended battery has about another 4. The included additional earbud sizes fit any ear and can be worn in ear or around the ear configuration. The length of the earbuds is easily adjusted with a sliding mechanism so there is no addional wire. The control box includes a microphone for handsfree phone calls. Hiking,running or just listen to good music you will find these earbuds fit the bill.

Great Wireless All in One Printer Scanner Copier
on September 12, 2017
Posted by: Idoc
from Winterville, NC
HP ENVY Photo 6255 All-in-One Printer is a Wireless printer/copier/scanner.
The assembly is simple and straight forward: Take it out of the box, pop in the ink.
The Setup is very easy, either download the HP app for your android or IOS device and follow the on screen instructions. This will allow you to pair your device to the printer and set up the wireless connection to your router. After the printer is set up you can print wirelessly from your device or your computer. If you do not have a wireless phone or tablet you can download the install and driver package from HP for windows 10 https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-photo-6200-all-in-one-printer-series/9073045/model/9073046. I think there is a way to log into the web console for the printer and set it up but it is not documented.

I think there is a way to log into the web console for the printer and set it up but it is not documented.
Once set up you can print to 8x 10 for paper or photo paper from the lower tray or 4x6 photo paper from the photo paper tray.
The pictures from this printer on the 4x6 photo paper are outstanding. The colors are rich and bright and there is no running of the ink. If you use photo paper the ink will not smear and dries very quickly. The print speed is reasonably quick for a home printer.
Hp has a new program where they will supply you with ink for a monthly fee, you choose the print volume you want. If you go over they have a set per page fee. This is great for convenience. I can save money on ink if you print a lot. I you are a casual printer user you may not benefit from this program. You are not obligated to join the program and can buy ink in the traditional way if you prefer.
Overall this is a very good home photo printer. The mobile phone app makes printing images directly from your mobile device quick and easy with very high quality.

Flexible Multifryer!
on August 12, 2017
Posted by: Idoc
from Winterville, NC
The DeLonghi - MultiFry 1.8-Quart Multi Cooker is a new Air fryer and cooker packed with features. I received this for review and was excited to try it. Setup is easy and straight forward. I tried the Sesamie Ginger Salmon recipe, it was easy to do and delicious. The MultiFry is a true Multicooker, not just an air fryer. It can fry, roast and broil effortlessly. You don’t have to think about any other device & methods. This is a great addition to any kitchen.
The Cooker:
The bowl is of ceramic material which has a non-scratch coating. It is very easy to clean.The mixing paddle has a metal arm and paddle made of plastic. The timer is just to indicate the time and the heating/cooking process does not stop automatically.
The bowl is of ceramic material which has a non-scratch coating. It is very easy to clean.The mixing paddle has a metal arm and paddle made of plastic. The timer is just to indicate the time and the heating/cooking process does not stop automatically.
The Surround Cooking System is very effective heating technology. The ability to control upper and lower heating elements give the flexibility of consistent and quick heating with the ability to use one or both heaters.
BPA-free lid transparent lid allows you to monitor what’s cooking. You don’t have to open it up like other air fryers/cookers to know how your food is cooking. Since the lids are removable or detachable and you can manually configure the appliance as needed.
The MultiFry comes with a recipe book an an app is available for more. With the Flexible heating and the removable stirring paddle your creativity is the only limit for what recipes you can invent.
Cooking uses no oil or as little as one teaspoon in most cases. You can prepare fried foods with much less fat than traditional methods and still achieve delicious results. You do not need to stir continuously when frying or roasting. The mixing paddle automatically and mixes the food eliminating the need to stir! The paddle will start stirring after a few minutes after cooking commences.
The MultiFry is moderately sized, about the same size as a crock pot. It is easy to move around and carry. Most Kitchens have a limited counter and storage space, because of its compactness it is right at home in almost any layout.
The device hosts a 4-level heating technology. The temperature varies between 300 degrees to 370 degrees between level 1 to level 4. Although DeLonghi does not specify the temperatures here is a guide for approximate temperature levels so you can convert recipes for their appliance: Level 1- 300 degrees, Level 2- 340 degrees, Level 3- 360 degrees and Level 4- 370 degrees.
Overall I was very pleased with the way the cooker worked, I wish it had a timer. I will be eating more fried foods now without the worry of additional fat in my diet!
If you are looking for an air fryer and want flexibility to use it as a broiler or roaster at a great price this is the one for you. With the other air fryers you are limited to frying by design.

What are installation instructions & wiring requirements?
You have to have a "C" power wire. You essentially mark each wire connected to your old thermostat with little labels provided then push them into the terminals on the Honeywell themostat. It is a good idea to take a picture with your smart phone or camera. Some systems require a jumper this is described in the manual. If you get stuck you send pics of your current wiring to Honeywell support and then call them, they will walk you through a solution.

They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
Do these headphones have the same cracking problem that the last version had! I am planning to buy them soon and I want them to last for the price. Thank you.
I have not noticed any crackling while listening. I did notice a crackle when running my fingers over the power button once or twice.

Keep your media and documents with you while you're on the go with this SanDisk SDCZ60-064G-A46 64GB flash drive that features SanDisk SecureAccess software to keep your files protected.
Can you use this drive to do Windows Updates if your laptop is low on memory ?
Thank's !
There is a way to point your your documenst, pictures , videos to any drive, windows will move the files there and future files will be saved there. While this can be done I do not reccomend it with removable USB flash drives ves permanently. You can temporarily move the file for update then maybe move them back. If you are low on space consider a hard-disk upgrade. ?? A good time to consider an SSD it will speed up most modern computers as well as extend operating time on battery.
