Excellent Wi-Fi Coverage for Medium Sized Homes
on October 30, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This newest version of the Linksys Velop mesh Wi-Fi system takes the performance of its last model and puts it in smaller units that perform just as well.
The AC3900 model comes with 3 nodes that you place throughout your home to provide extensive coverage up to 4500 square feet. This is enough to cover small to medium sized homes easily, and even some larger homes. If you have a very large house and/or would like extended coverage outside into a larger sized yard, the AC6600 model is available and covers up to 6000 square feet.
Set-up for these units was extremely easy, just like my last Velop set. A quick start guide walks you through the process of hooking up your nodes, installing the app, and getting connected to your devices. It takes minutes and is easy to complete.
After completing the set-up process I tested speeds and was able to get maximum upload and download capacity on my laptop throughout my house (45Mbps). This model is rated to perform at speeds up to 100Mbps. The nodes are small and fit easily on bookshelves or anywhere else you would like to place them. I didn't notice any lesser performance from the previous model despite the smaller node size.
This Wi-Fi system has great performance at a good price. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their wireless signal in their home.

Great Price and Functionality
on October 30, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is my 2nd Shark vacuum and performs as well if not better than the first.
I have a 2300 square foot house and it can take a while to vacuum each room. Having a vacuum that is lightweight is key to avoid fatigue when cleaning larger homes and that is one of this model's best features. And despite the light weight, it still has plenty of power for carpeted floors.
This model was easy to navigate around corners and it was easy to empty the dust bin. The included attachments were fairly standard and will serve pretty much any purpose you need.
Time will tell if this vacuum holds up over the years, but my older Shark is still running strong and I expect this one to last a good while. It seems solid and well built. I think it's a great buy at a modest price.

Multi-Functional Monitor, Works Very Well

This baby monitor is affordable, has excellent features, and is one of the best options on the market.
I have two children below the age of 7 and we have used multiple monitors over the years. Each of them had their own issues, from limited range to poor features. This model keeps things simple but packs enough features to make it a good buy.
Pros:
- Excellent range
- Competitive price
- Great features like lullabies and white noise
- Not dependent on Wi-Fi connections

Very Good Sound, Decent Price
on September 26, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the 3rd Logitech speaker I have used and ranks among the best of them.
First, as always, sound quality is at the forefront of my mind and should be for anyone considering purchasing this model. As with all Megaboom models, it gets LOUD. Despite it's medium-ish size compared to other popular models, the sound can get plenty loud and cover a large area indoors or outdoors. The sound quality itself is very good, but I did slightly prefer other Logitech models like the Megablast.
Other key features include the extensive battery life, listed at 20 hours. I've used mine for about 8 so far without needing to recharge. 20 hours will last you an entire weekend in most circumstances so it's nice not having to worry about having a place to plug in. Did I mention this thing is waterproof? I'm normally scared to take any electronics near water, but this speaker can not only float, but can also be submerged for up to 30 minutes. That's pretty cool and should make for excellent pool parties.
This model has an optional charging station that you purchase if you would like to use it around the house and then just grab and go when you need to take it elsewhere. I imagine the charging time will be much better with the dock so consider that if you will be using the speaker frequently.
My favorite feature of this model is the "magic" button. It's easy to locate on the top and can quickly be used to play/pause and skip songs with double presses. Also, if you want to fine tune your audio experience, the partner app allows you to use an equalizer to tweak to your favorite bass/mid/treble levels.
At this price range it will be difficult for you to find a better all-around speaker with the features that this one has. My four star rating is only because I've had better audio quality at loud levels with other Logitech speakers in the past, but by no means is the audio quality poor.

Perfect for Casual and Hardcore Gaming
on September 26, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
When PC gaming I tend to stick to a wired mouse. I have always preferred precision and response time to the convenience of going wireless. This is the first wireless mouse that has convinced me to "cut the cord".
Besides the excellent precision, the size and weight are perfect for me. I have medium sized hands and this mouse provides a comfortable fit. Logitech advertises that they have decreased the weight of the rechargeable battery for this model which has helped make it lighter overall and easier to glide along your mousepad. Keep in mind that some folks may prefer a heavier mouse so you can "feel" the movement more, but it's up to you and your gaming style.
Other nice features are the cool LED lighting, the side buttons that you can add or remove, and the easy to use Logitech software that allow you to customize the mouse to use exactly how you like (programming macros, etc).
If you want to game at the highest level, give this mouse a shot. The response time will really make a difference in any game that requires quick reactions and precision accuracy. It's definitely worth the price tag.

Top Notch Audio Quality
on September 21, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have had the opportunity to use numerous noise canceling headphones like these and I am happy to say that this model ranks among the best of them.
With each new version Sony releases they have been improving upon any and all concerns that I have had with prior models. The comfort level is outstanding, which is what I consider most important. Sound quality is always high end in this price range so you have nothing to worry about there.
Despite the light weight, the battery life is incredible, lasting all day. You may even get two days of use before needing to charge them again, depending on how many hours you use them.
As usual with Sony, a nice case is provided in the package that allows you to take good care of your investment when stowing them in your travel bag while on the go. You can read the product description to hear about some of the other nice features like the quick attention mode which works well and can really come in handy.
You can't go wrong with these headphones. They are well worth the price and you will not be disappointed.

Very Good Sound, Decent Price

The bluetooth speaker market is getting pretty competitive and LG has a very solid option here with the PK7.
Pros:
- Battery life is fantastic. It will last all day for you
- Sound was as good or slightly better than other speakers in this price range
- Built in options to boost bass and enhance vocals
- Water resistant
- LED lights that sync to your music
- Good weight, seems well built and sturdy

- Water resistant
- LED lights that sync to your music
- Good weight, seems well built and sturdy
Cons:
- With the long battery life you sacrifice the ability to charge via USB. You'll need to bring along the AC power cord if you will be away from home for more than a day of use.
- I'm not a fan of the style. It will look good in a dorm room or a man cave, but could be an eyesore in a kitchen or living room.

Pricey, but an excellent product
on August 15, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This was my first experience with a Sonos product and I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard good things and everything I had heard was accurate.
First, I couldn't set up this system outside because we currently have 100 degree weather in Texas. So instead I set it up indoors to test it out before I move it to the back porch in the fall. The sound quality was phenomenal. You have the option to add a sub-woofer but I don't feel you need one. The audio is crisp, clear, and has plenty of bass for my needs. If you do plan to use this system outdoors as intended, make sure to use speaker wire that can handle the elements. You never want to have to run wire twice.
I had to use my wife's phone in order to set up the system and use the audio keypad. For some reason Android phones are not supported despite them being a more popular OS than iOS. This is very odd.
Overall, this is a great system that is worth the cost if you can get it on sale. It's a little pricey so I'm removing one star for that. But from what I've seen out there, you won't be able to find a better sound system with the amount of features and durability that this system has.

Watch classic and modern flicks on this Samsung Blu-ray player. It supports 4K televisions and monitors for enjoying exceptional picture quality, and its HDR technology delivers deeper contrast and improved details. The built-in Bluetooth on this Samsung Blu-ray player lets you watch content on your mobile device while it's playing on another display.

If you are looking for the best movie viewing experience that you can have at home, this Samsung media device is a great option. You will not find a crisper, more spectacular picture when watching an Ultra HD Blu-Ray.
While the Blu-Ray viewing is its specialty, the streaming apps are also a great bonus. Most streaming devices on the market do not allow for 4K playback but this one does. It also seems to have better processing power than smart TVs with built-in apps that never seem to work well for me.
This device also will up-convert your DVDs to improve their picture quality. The menu is easy to navigate, and the remote is well designed.
Cons:
The only downsides to this media player are the price and the size of the unit. It will take up a decent amount of space in your entertainment center so be sure to check the specs for measurements. For the price of this unit you can also buy a gaming console that plays 4k video content, but not everyone is a gamer.

Listen to music hands-free with this LG wireless headset. It lets you answer or ignore a call with voice commands, and the wireless earbuds charge when they're resting inside the neckband, ensuring they're ready for use. The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.
How do I pair this thing?
Hold down either button on either earbud for 3-4 seconds and you will hear a message "ready to be paired". Then select the LG option that shows up on the device you are searching from. It will show up in your list as "LG HBSF110 Master".
