The Dyson Outsize+ is Dyson's largest intelligent cordless vacuum with laser illumination. It is engineered with the suction power, additional run time, larger format, and tools designed to deep clean your whole home. A laser on the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head reveals invisible dust on hard floors. In auto mode, the machine optimizes power and run time based on floor type. Dyson's de-tangling Digital Motorbar XL cleaner head deep cleans carpets and hard floors. The 25% wider cleaner head, 150% larger bin, and twice the run time compared to the Dyson V15 Detect covers more floor with each pass and allows for more cleaning between bin emptying and charges.

Great for large house
on July 27, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This Dyson Outsize vac it's like a regular cordless stick vacuum, but it's bigger with more features. Because of its large size, it is now suitable for any home, even a large one. This Outsize is not a standard stick vac; it is a full-size vacuum. The Outsize comes with one docking station with an attachable charger and one additional charger for the extra battery. The extra easy swappable battery allows this vac to work for larger homes. The dust bin container is larger, and with that capacity, you would only need to empty the vac once after each use. For most people, vacuuming is one of the most dreaded home cleaning tasks. Now I am emptying less; in turn, I am wasting less time vacuuming. Each battery has approximately 60 minutes of runtime; time depends on the mode setting and size/quantity of particles. Changing the batteries is very flexible; it can be charged when placing the vac in the docking station, it can be charged directly on the vac (not in the station), or charged the batteries on their own.
Accessories/tools included: (1) a motorized mini head is excellent for stairs or cleaning upholstery (fantastic to get rid of pet hair), (2) an angled crevice tool, (3) crevice tool, (4) an adjustable flexible brush, which is very soft and won't be scratching anything, and (5)it includes a storage clip that attaches to the wand to store two accessories.
The main roller head is a bit larger than most stick vacs, so it is a great design to cover larger room space, making cleaning more efficient. This larger head results in doing a lot less work because it covers more floor space. The performance is great on both hard floors as well as carpets. What I like about the large head-deep clean is that it works on both hard floor and carpet, and the best part is that I haven't seen a bunch of hair getting tangled in the roller. The laser detection reveals microscopic dust; in a sense, it makes it hard to see dust visible on hard floors. The slim head's unique laser features beams a floor-facing green light to illuminate fine particulates, so you don't miss anything. The laser detects/reveal is not designed for carpet, and there is an option to turn off the laser.
The LCD control panel shows the current performance, cleaning mode, and run time. It will also show you maintenance reminders or troubleshooting, such as filter not placed correctly or filter blockage.
The HEPA level filtration is quality made and the best design. It does a great job, and I haven't detected any air leaking out of the unit; all of it comes out of the HEPA filter. Very easy to clean and maintain; rinse with just tap water and let it dry for a day or so. In conclusion, the vacuum system works well and is very easy to use.

Amazing for health, wellness and body recovery
on July 20, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I am a multi-sport athlete, working out and training 5 to 6 days a week, and I put a lot of physical stress on my body. For me, I need to have a quick recovery so I can continue with my daily tasks. This compression boot system does an excellent job of rapid recovery, maximizing performance, improving training, and overall wellness. When someone exercise, their body builds up lactic acid and other metabolites as byproducts; also, there are microscopic tissue damage and fatigue. All of these happening in the body results in muscle soreness and pain. After a hard training or workout, I sometimes experience difficulty walking (legs feel heavy) and sometimes even sitting down. Compression boots work by helping the body squeeze the lactic acid, inflammation, and all metabolites out of your legs and back into the heart; afterward, they get metabolized and eliminated.
Using the system is easy (plug & play), charge the device, download the app, insert the leg into the leg compressor, and attach the connector to the junction box and air outlet. You can use only one leg attachment compressor if you desire, but note that there is the extra step requiring the use of a blocking plug on the hose not being used. One can operate the system with just the control unit, which allows for attachment type selection (arm, hip, or leg), pressure level, ZoneBoost, time adjustment, display screen, and start/stop button. With the app, you get the best experience, with preset routine settings or self-customizable.
Available routines/settings: post-workout recovery, post-run recovery, improve your sleep, freshen your legs, activate your legs, long day unwind, pre-run warm up, pre workout warm up. There is also a similar arms routine, but you would need the arm attachment sold separately, which I will get. There are five zones on the leg boot: (1) foot, (2) calf, (3) knee, (4) lower quad, and (5) upper quad. The routine preset setting or manual control allows for Zone Boost, which concentrates or gives extra (time or pressure) to one or more zones.
How the system compresses the leg varies by routine. The first pump fills up all the zones in a sequence, and then it releases the air; I think the system feels the legs to know the required pressure. The compression starts from the feet and gradually moves up to the upper thighs. Depending on the selected routine, the compression sequence will vary. Also, the compression creates a pulsation movement from the feet to the upper thighs and repeats this a couple of times. What this compression does is pushes more of the fluids in the extremities up to the upper body, so it gets flushed out.
It feels AMAZING! Not exaggerating; my legs feel rejuvenated. Fantastic product to fight muscle soreness and get back in the game; now do more of what you love.
Portable, depending on the duration and routine, the battery can give you two or more sessions. The boots are incredibly high-tech material, rugged, and well built. To conclude, the Normatec compression boots make a quick, easy-to-use, portable, and enjoyable muscle recovery.

Excellent smart thermostat
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Now an excellent modern-looking thermostat with a nightlight for guests to quickly locate at night. When one is not home, I can control it remotely via the Sensi app on my phone (Android). Designed very well and has an excellent interface with many cool features.
In my case, the installation was fast and easy, thanks to the app installation guide wizard. Before removing the old thermostat connected to the wires, the guide recommends taking a picture as a reference. On the app, you tell it what wires are on the old thermostat, and then the app will give you a custom mad connection depending on your current wires. The kit comes with stickers to label your specific connected wires. After all the wires are attached to the new base plate, the next step is to set up the Wi-Fi configuration. Once all that is complete, use the Alexa app to add this device to your account to be able to control the thermostat with a voice command. My favorite settings in the app that would help me save energy costs are (1) Service Reminder for filter and maintenance, (2) Min & Max cooling/heating temperature, and (3) Humidity Control. I rarely lower my cooling temperature below 73°, and once I had a guest staying overnight, someone dropped the temperate to 67°. With the Senci app, I don't have to worry about someone playing with my thermostat. The Service Reminder setting does notify you of the important task of changing the filter and doing system maintenance. For an A/C, flushing drain pipes and coil cleaning prolong the unit's life and save on cooling/heating costs.
Overall, I am satisfied with the Senci smart thermostat. Easy to install, the ability for remote control, easy to program, service reminder, min/max control setting, humidity control, modern look.

Impressive technology for evenly heating/cooking
on July 6, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This is my first inverter technology microwave oven, and I am extremely impressed with how it heats/cooks food. The technology does get the heat to the center of any food item. This model has Alexa built inside, making it convenient when you start the microwave near the kitchen or any room in the house. The power cord is high quality, heavy-duty, and has an acceptable length for any countertop or table, 3.75 ft (45 in/ 114cm). Outside dimensions: 17 in wide, 20.5 in length, 12.75 in depth. Inside dimensions: 13.35 in width x 13 in length x 9.15 in depth. The door frame has stainless steel on the front, and the window has a nice little dark tint. The roller with the place is easy to insert and always stays put.
The control panel has a roller knob, which is for Start/Select, Cook Time, Weight, and Auto/Sensor Cook), and six buttons (Microwave, Popcorn, Turbo/Defrost, Quick 30 (second), Timer/Clock, Stop/Reset). The cooking time election is with a roller knob, so there is no numeric pad on the panel. A feature not very common with other microwaves is the Genius' built-in sensor, which reheats a meal with one push of the dial without selecting power and cooking time. The sensor technology measures the food's humidity and calculates the necessary time. The sensor can heat 1 to 4 cups of coffee, milk, or soup. Also, the sensor can cook potatoes, fresh/frozen vegetables, frozen pizza/ entrees/ dinners/ breakfast/ nuggets, oatmeal, rice, pasta, and frozen pancake; for best results, make certain food item is within the specified weight range. The operating manual has a couple of charts with instructions and recommendations for various food items and which function to use.
It is easy to set up with Alexa. You download the app on a mobile device, plug the microwave (which will start the setup mode), select add device on the app, follow the instructions to scan the QR code on the microwave door frame, and the app completes the connection. With Alexa, you can start the microwave with voice commands such as cooking for a specific time (e.g., "Alexa, microwave/cook for x time and y seconds), stop/ pause time ("Alexa stop/pause the microwave). Using Alexa on a microwave is great for those who use it for cooking (not just heating) because it allows multi-tasking. You could be making dinner, and you need to defrost a chicken for cooking, but at the same time, you are chopping vegetables; with a busy hand, Alexa would save you time and avoid leaving marks on the microwave control panel. Some items require weight or quantity, such as defrosting chicken breast; "Alexa defrost one lbs of chicken breast." Giving Alexa command is much easier than going through all the different buttons or knobs. My son's favorite command is "Alexa, microwave/cook 3.5ox of popcorn,"; and he is impressed that they don't get burnt and that almost all kernels get popped (except 3-5 kernels). My favorite use is warming my frozen breakfast eggwhich (bread-free sandwich), "Alexa microwave/cook frozen breakfast." Compared to my old microwave, this Panasonic inverter tech does a fantastic job at cooking my frozen breakfast evenly and at the right temperature without burning edges and cold centers.
Overall, I like this new inverter technology microwave with Alexa. It is straightforward to use, has many functions, and the best part is that it does an impressive job at evenly heating food. Product technology is unique and looks well built.

Works great with Wyze Lock
on June 22, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The Wyze Lock takes an existing door lock and makes it smart; no need to change a lock on the front, the bolt, or keys. With this affordable device, you can unlock/lock without a key and give guest codes. The best part is that it is easy and only takes a few minutes to install. Note that Wyze lock and keypad are sold separately. The keypad casing is plastic, but it seems well made. It is mounted with a metal plate to a wall or a door with double-sided tape or screws. When pressed, the keypad numbers light up, so it works great at night. The keypad has a nice and simple design, and the box includes two Duracell batteries, a mounting plate, screws, and double-sided tape attached to the plate.
Heads-up, when installing the Wyze Lock and you go outside your house, make sure you have your house key or smartphone because you might get lockout. Installation and connecting the keypad to the lock were easy with the Wize app wizard. The guide goes step by step, and if you get an issue or what to see a video, the app has a "Show me how" option, and YouTube instructions show up. The installation is broken down into simple steps. The setting in the app for the keypad had the battery lever information and the option to create and share guest codes (4-8 digit codes). What is great about having the keypad separate from the lock is that it can be placed next to the door, against the wall, and removed anytime you want. I installed my keypad near the door's frame but high up so it wouldn't be accessible to my neighbors' kids. Overall, I am satisfied I got the keypad for my Wyze Lock system.

Wyze Lock is a staple in our smart home wizardry. This is a smart lock that that does what you expect, and really all that you need from a smart lock. Wyze Lock is Wi-Fi capable, so you can control it remotely from your phone to let the dog walker in, or make sure it gets locked after you left on your vacation in such a rush. That’s not all this bad boy can do. Wyze Lock comes equipped with App and knows when you arrive home and automatically unlocks as you approach the door. Once inside, Wyze Lock’s built-in gyroscope detects when the door is closed and automatically locks behind you. It’s got all that and more. Like we said, all the tech you need, now at a price you can afford.

Very easy installation and convenient
on June 22, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This product gets retrofitted that goes on the back of an existing deadbolt. The smart device (replacing the inside thumb-turn) and the existing deadbolt and outside cylinder keyed housing are on the inside. The outside will have the existing cylinder lock, which works with its original key(s). I like my first smart lock for my front door so much that I am getting two more, one for the door leading to my garage and one for another door in my house. I have both the Wyze Lockin and the Wyze keypad. The kit comes with everything included (except a smartphone) to make any deadbolt a smart device. It consists of the four Duracell batteries, the retrofit knob box, screwdriver, Wyze Gateway, lineup metal plate to attach the device to the existing deadbolt, and three different adapters to match most deadbolt types. If none of the provided adapters don’t work with your deadbolt, contact Wyze, and they will send you one for your deadbolt.
The lock polished aluminum cover has a nice and clean look. The Wyze Lockin lock connects to the Wyze Gateway to connect to the house WiFi; the lock doesn’t connect directly to the WiFi. This included gateway needs to be plugged into an outlet near the lock and also where it can receive a WiFi signal. The installation is super easy, and this is possible thanks to the Wyze app that guides you through the entire process. Its installation wizard is one of the best wizards I have used. The whole process is broken down into simple to follow steps, and the cool thing is the option to select “Show me how” that will pop up a YouTube video on how to do a specific step.
The Wyze app is straightforward and includes incredible features you can do with the smart Lockin. You get instant notification and history when it is locked, unlocked, locked, or unlock with the keypad. The activity notification is instant. I have the option to give access to anyone in my household and set/ deactivate temporary access for guests. The auto-lock feature is one of the reasons I wanted this lock, mainly because my teenage child frequently forgets to lock the door when his friends leave the house. Now with this Wize Lockin, I can rest assured that the front door will not be left open. When activated, the device detects the door position and automatically locks the door when it is closed, and the options are: At once, or minutes (1, 5, 10, 30, or 60 minutes). If set to lock automatically, there is a setting/method (called Trash Method) on the app that allows users to temporarily disable the auto-lock so when someone leaves the house for a few minutes, you won’t be accidentally lockout. In Trash Mode, to temporarily disable auto-lock, one must slowly manually unlock, lock, and finally lock the door. The lock will beep, confirming that Trash Mode has temporarily activated, and the door will not automatically lock.
Most of the app settings, lock, and unlocking can be performed remotely (away from the house), but a few require the smart device using Bluetooth to be near the lock. Auto-Lock, Alarm Settings, Volume, and Calibrate settings are only allowed with the smartphone near the lock connected via Bluetooth. For security reasons, I don’t use the auto-unlock sensor feature that unlocks the door when you approach it with your smartphone; I don’t want the lock to open by accident when I am near the door with my phone.
A warning with the auto-lock feature, make sure you leave the house with your phone or your keys. You can also get the Wyze Keypad to avoid accidentally getting lockout. What I like the about the product are: (1) I get instant notifications when the door locks and unlocks. (2) It automatically locks when it gets closed. (3) Battery life is very good. (4)I can share access codes.
Overall, this is great to have attached to any deadbolt and is very convenient.

Superb screen with eye care
on May 12, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Dover, FL
The OLED screen display is what I love the most about this laptop; it's beautiful. My primary use of this laptop is for a home office (bookkeeping) and some entertainment. I got this Zenbook to replace a desktop because I needed mobility, exceeding my expectations. I am an accountant, and I find the integrated number keypad on the mouse pad fantastic, by sliding your finger on the mouse pad's upper left corner, the pad switches to the number keypad. Battery life works as expected, getting plenty of hours of usage with a full charge. The OLED screen's colors are vibrant and bright, which is great for movie watching or online meetings. Since I am now working more on this laptop, I find the eye care features that protect my eyes very important. This model does not have a touch-screen, which is fine with me since the last laptop I had, I hardly ever used its touch-screen. The quality of sound produced is clear and loud enough. The design is just right: small, not too bulky, and lightweight to carry around. For convenience, I use a fingerprint sensor integrated with the power key to unlock the computer, and it works all the time. It is easy to setup, which allows me to work anywhere. To conclude, this is an excellent laptop with a superb screen.

How Often Used:Daily
The newer Bluetooth 5.2 allows the buds to have a solid connection with minimal audio compression and no noticeable lag. I like that it comes included in the Tile support (Find with Tile), which allows you to locate the earbuds. The casing has a lanyard which I attach to my keys for easy transport, and I can use the Tile features in the buds to locate my keys if they ever get lost. The usual small, medium, and large silicone ear tips are included. The buds are waterproof IPX4, which is fine for rain and any heavy sweating but not to be submerged in water. The 4.5-inch charging cable uses a micro USB to connect to the casing and a regular USB to the charger (not included). Battery life in the buds (3.5 hrs) is suitable for most users, and in its casing, battery life is good for a week or two (8.2 hrs charge). Usually, I'm not a big fan of in-ear headphones, but I find these are comfortable to wear, and they don't easily fall off. A design of these buds is that they go into a standby mode where it will not drain the batteries if not in the case or not being used. The buttons are physical push control (not touch), which is sometimes I have to push them into my ears. The controls are easy to use and give you control over everything (play, pause, skip, forward, and volume control). For a phone call, the sound and mic are acceptable. Sound handles many types of music with ease, and you do feel the bass (a little boomy). The trebles aren't harsh, and the mid sounds are good. Overall, Dime 2 has all the characteristics of good in-ear buds, and it comes with Bluetooth 5.2, "Find with Tile," attaches to a keychain, and is waterproof.

Great for hearing protection
on January 29, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Dover, FL
I am a DIY, and I like to make many home improvements. Working around the house using these earphones, I protect my ear, and I can enable ambient sound to hear my surrounding. I frequently use foam earplugs at home for day naps and night sleep, so using earphones that use foam ear tips isn’t an issue. The foam is super soft, which helps them stay in your ear and no irritation. The foam also does an excellent job of blocking ambient noise. I use it a lot when using loud lawn equipment or power tools. The sound quality of audio and phone calls is pretty good. When someone approaches me to talk to me, I don't need to take them off; I use the awareness mode control to switch on the ambient noise. I can adjust the ambient noise volume depending on the background noise level. Battery life is good, recharges fast, and lasts a couple of hours. Compared to traditional noise protection earmuffs, these earphones are much better. They are comfortable to wear, don’t fall or move around, significantly cut out background noise, easily turn on/off ambient noise, enjoy listening to music, and are suitable for hands-free phone calls. Overall, I am satisfied with these new earphones.

Excellent for Home Theaters
on January 21, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
My experience with Epson brand products (printers, dedicated scanners, & other projectors) is that they are reliable and of great value. One of their printer models I owned (Artisan) lasted me over six years. This Epson Home Cinema works perfectly for any home theater. It is incredible how quick and easy it is to hook up and set up; it is lightweight and easy to mount and move around. My family and I enjoy movies/shows from streaming services and DVDs. The projector box includes two different remote controls with their batteries, a power cable, and an installation manual. Note that it does not have any HDMI cables.
Projecting to a dedicated screen, I was amazed at how it produces a clear, detailed image with beautiful colors and great contrast. My home theater setup gets completely dark, and when I turn on some ambient light lamps, the projector still does a pretty good job. If the room setup is very lite, images could get somewhat washed out. The unit has plenty of ventilation to keep it cool, and the cooling fan does not make a loud noise. The speaker in the projector is weak, so not designed for home theater and must use a separate sound system. The full HD 1080P 3LC on the projector makes this quite an impressive unit. I have used it for a couple of weeks now, and so far, no issues whatsoever. The adjustment slider for zooming works smoothly and make adjustment very easy to fit the projected image on a screen. The best feature about this projector is that it has an Android TV included; there are plenty of Apps to use for entertainment. This unit is an excellent option for anyone who wants a projector with great image quality, fantastic dynamic range, incredible color saturation, and bright and vibrant light projects.

Are there anymore details on the connectivity specs?

Does this speaker come in the color black?

Not sure if the speaker come in black but I wanted to mention that one can apply a coat of paint. The casing is made of hard solid glass fiber, and its mounting brackets are solid metal (probably aluminum), both of which have a good coat of matte white eggshell color. The texture feels a bit like a smooth eggshell, and I believe this is so one can paint over them (prime surface).

Bose Sport Open Earbuds are true wireless earbuds like you’ve never seen or heard before. What makes them truly unique is that they are the first workout headphones of their kind that combine exclusive Bose OpenAudio technology with an innovative open-ear headphone design to produce high-quality sound without covering your ears. This allows you to hear your music and the world around you for an unbelievable, full-sensory experience. The city. The surf. Your running buddy. Hear it all and your music at the same time with these entirely new, entirely open sport earbuds. Sound is what motivates, and Bose Sport Open Earbuds deliver. The exclusive Bose OpenAudio technology produces clear, consistent sound that’s more authentic and comfortable than bone conduction. In addition, acoustic spillage is minimal thanks to speaker placement that’s closer to the ear. A comfortable and secure fit is crucial when exercising. These sport earbuds were rigorously designed and tested to gently rest on your ears while staying put no matter how intense your workout. Bose Sport Open Earbuds also offer up to eight hours of play time (with daily charging), an advanced mic system for crystal-clear calls, and IPX4 sweat and weather resistance. Now you can combine the environment that invigorates you with the content that motivates you.
 

can one earbud be used at a time to either take/talk on phonecalls?

Well, yes and no. Not possible to use these two features, take and talk, with just one earbud. For talking, the right earbuds have the microphone but none on the left. The control to take a call is on the left earbuds. Solution: If you want to use just one earbud, you would use the right side only and use your phone to take/answer/hangup a call.

The Filtrete™ Maximum Under Sink Water Filtration System 3US-MAX-S01 is easy to install and maintain. It's an under sink water filtration system that connects to the kitchen or bath faucet.
 

Can a designated counter mounted faucet be used with this filter?

Yes, a designated counter mount faucet just for drinking or cooking would be great. This will extend the life of the filter and save you money replacing the filter. This is a great idea because most likely you don't need filtered water for washing dishes. Depending on the faucet tubing, you may need to get a different connector. The push/quick-connect fitting are the easiest for plastic tubing.
