Amazing Sound
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the most expensive sound system I have ever owned so I had high expectations going in. It did not disappoint. It was much larger and heavier than I expected. The design of both the soundbar and subwoofer are impressive. Craftsmanship is very high end. Here are some other thoughts:
Likes:
Set-up was simple with on screen instructions walking you through the basics.
The face plate for the soundbar attaches magnetically. It felt fancy and looks great.
Music sounds amazing!
The wireless subwoofer connected automatically and worked seamlessly. Nice bass.
The soundbar has a display that tells you the input/source you are using and volume levels.

Dislikes:
The included HDMI cable was short. It will not be long enough for some set-ups and was barely long enough for mine.
Access to two of the HDMI ports is difficult with larger hands.
Built in Chromecast had some hiccups getting started.

Overall, this is a fantastic audio system that is worth the price if it is in your budget range. I look forward to testing out the Dolby Atmos tech as more content becomes available!

Toss this waterproof LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker in the pool and watch it float. The crisp audio doesn't stop for snow, dirt or ice, and this Bluetooth-enabled speaker can withstand a drop from 1.2m. The battery of this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker keeps going for 15 hours, and it charges your phone while it's playing.

High Quality Speaker
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is one of the larger and heavier bluetooth speakers I have come across. I placed a phone next to it in one of my photos to show its size. That size comes with a few benefits including:
-A dry box large enough to fit your phone, money, credit cards, etc
-A long battery life, advertised at 15 hours
When setting this speaker up I could not find the instructions. What I thought was a packaging spacer was actually an envelope that contains a very nice guide that identifies what all the buttons and ports are for. The guide is important, as there are more ports and buttons than most bluetooth speakers you will find on the market. There are two USB ports to charge your devices and 2 AUX ports if you wish to connect your audio that way.

The packaging was very nice for this speaker. Very high end worthy. I have not (and probably will not) test the advertised waterproof and drop-proof claims, but this device seems well built and very sturdy.
Finally, the audio quality is fair. Not great...not poor. Bass and clarity could be better. But with all of the other features this unit has, I’m OK with that. It is plenty loud and will entertain a group of people at the pool, at the beach, etc without a problem.

Excellent Monitor for Gaming
on June 21, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This HP monitor (with it's 1ms response time / 144Hz refresh rate) was designed with gamers in mind so that was the first thing I did to put it through its paces. All games I tried out played beautifully, and they looked better than they do on my 55" 4k TV.
Another thing this monitor has going for it is the available ports. Not only do you get the DisplayPort input that most people use for their PC gaming needs, but there are also 2 HDMI ports. Very few monitors come with 2 HDMI ports in this price range which is a nice luxury.
While this monitor is not 4k, I wouldn't worry about that as the human eye can only really appreciate 4k resolution on displays that are closer to 60 inches.
Lastly, I appreciate that this is an anti-glare screen. One of my pet peeves is reflections in various light conditions and this feature helped out a lot.
This is an excellent monitor for gamers and should be considered by anyone in the market for a new one. While it will also serve you well for other purposes, gaming is where it really shines.

Excellent and Smart Robot Vacuum
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have run my POWERbot twice since receiving it and here are my thoughts.
Pros:
-Cleans very well with surprising suction power in a small unit
-Filter is washable. This will save money long term and the unit comes with a spare as well
-Remote control makes it easy to direct to a specific spot
-Smart App lets you see visually the path it has swept and has other cool features
-Programmable to run when you wish. You can have it run once every night while you are sleeping if you want.
-Adjustable power to maximize cleaning strength or extend battery life. Normal mode gave me about 35 minutes of cleaning. Quiet/low power mode gave me at least double that but could still clean well despite the lesser suction strength.
-You shouldn't run it with anything on your floors so it forces our kids to keep their toys put away!

Cons:
-Not for use with black floors. The instructions clearly state this and I found out why. I have a large carpet in my living room with a pattern of black circles. These circles confuse it and make it think it's reached a border it should not cross.
-I had to empty the dustbin twice during first use as it filled up quickly. Although, this could just be because the POWERbot was reaching places I could not with my regular vacuum and it was cleaning spots with lots of dust/dirt. This could actually be a pro I suppose.
-The instructions lack detail on how the unit learns and maps your home. I'd like some more information on this.

Excellent Electric Grill/Griddle
on June 7, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have been using a popular and well-known brand of electric grill for many years and enjoy the convenience of it. I viewed this DeLonghi as a significant upgrade, as I can now set a specific temperature with the digital display, giving me more freedom on my dinner preparations.
Since getting this grill I have cooked chicken and burgers. Both turned out great and cooked thoroughly and evenly. Clean-up was very simple as well. The plates are dishwasher safe and a tool is provided to scrape them.
I was pleased with the size of this device, as I was able to cook all of our dinner at once due to plenty of surface area on the grill. I haven't tried pancakes yet but look forward to making them on the griddle plate!
I love this thing and recommend it to others for their indoor grilling needs.

Save money. Cut your own hair!

Verified Purchase:Yes
About 8 years ago I started cutting my own hair with a similar model to these and have bought new clippers about once every 3 years. They hold up good, as long as you clean out the hair and oil up the blades. I have probably saved close to $1000 over the past decade by giving myself a buzz cut once a month! Who needs fancy long hair? No me. And shampooing is super easy as well now.

Solid Tech, Good Audio
on May 18, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
These earbuds are a nice new take on portable audio. Device pairing was simple, as usual with bluetooth, and the earbuds were already charged. After turning them on, a voice tells you the battery life remaining (mine was "high").
I then tested the audio quality, listening to a podcast and some music. Both were clear and of good quality.
One thing I find most important with earbuds is how well they stay in your ears without falling out. These earbuds come with 2 sizes of ear-gels. The default size fit well for me (average size ears), and the 2nd set are slightly smaller. I could see this device being used by someone doing basic workouts, but nothing too vigorous. You would not want the neckband to be bouncing around and the earbuds could easily fall out if you are jumping or doing anything high impact. They would be great for walks or ellipticals.
I love the design of the neckband. The earbuds snap in place very easily for charging. They can be charged straight from the band, or the band and buds can be charged at the same time with the use of a micro USB cable (included).
Overall, I highly recommend this set of earphones. It's a reasonable price while having a great design and performance.

I bought these on sale to replace another headset and was impressed with their performance. They fit comfortably on my ears, the sound is good quality, and it is simple to mute or toggle volume levels.
This may have been a refurb unit, but I could not tell. They work as good as new.

This monitor was affordable and exceeded my expectations. The picture is amazing and even with the low price you get both a DVI and HDMI port for connection options.
The screen is not matte so you will have glare in a bright room so just be aware of that.

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".

Remove dirt and debris from carpet with this Shark Navigator upright vacuum. A detachable canister lets you empty the vacuum easily, and the included tools make cleaning upholstery or inside crevices easy. This Shark Navigator upright vacuum uses a HEPA filter to remove harmful allergens and micro particles for healthier air.
some item, such as a rag or something of that nature is jammed in the hose, close to the plastic handle and will not allow air to pass through, how do I dislodge it?
Coat hangers are your best option as they are firm, but malleable.
