Android TV Integration is Great
on November 18, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the second Epson projector I have used in the past several years. I was looking forwarded to testing out the new features that this model has including built in bluetooth and Android TV.
Pros:
- Set-up for Android TV was very easy. I was able to connect through my google/gmail account without any difficulty. The process is streamlined.
- Many of the most useful apps you would like to use come pre-installed and it is easy to install more. The set-up process allows you to choose which additional apps you would like to add but you can always add more later. Not having to connect a blue-ray player or streaming media player to this unit is a nice plus.
- Picture quality was great. Even though it is not too close to Xmas I watched "Elf" with with family. The projected image is very bright and doesn't require a completely dark room to get a watchable image.
- Having an onboard speaker is nice so you can take this on the go and have a display with audio at the ready.
Cons:
- I was looking forward to having a projector with bluetooth that I can use on my back patio with an outdoor movie screen. Connecting a wireless speaker was going to be a terrific solution. But when I tried this there was lag between the audio and what was taking place on the screen which made the movie unwatchable. For indoor watching I'll need to run HDMI from my source through my AV system to get better audio, but will look for other options for outdoor viewing.
- For an expensive projector like this it would be nice to have a storage/carrying case come with it. There is no need for a case for folks that mount it of course, but for my use I will use it both indoors and outdoors and don't want a permanent mount. Fro now I'll just keep it in the box it arrived in.
Overall, this Epson model is worth a look. One of the best selling points is the Android TV integration. Just be prepared to find a good audio solution because if you have a great quality picture, you are going to want great audio to go along with it.

Small, Comfy, and Great Sound
on October 25, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the first set of on-ear headphones that I have used in many years. I typically use over the ear as my preference, but the Marshall Major IV's did not disappoint.
Pros:
- The sound quality was top-notch. I haven't heard music sound this good in a long time. It made me want to close my eyes and just enjoy every note.
- The volume/skip button is designed nicely. With many headphones I find myself searching for control buttons and trying to remember what to do to adjust volume, skip tracks, etc. This one is easy to find and there is a nice and soft click you feel as you tick the volume up and down or skip a track.
- Adjusting for head size is super easy. Love the design in the sliders.
- 80 hours of battery life is unheard up, especially considering how small these headphones are.
- Can connect via bluetooth or with the included aux cable.
Cons:
- No case is included. I would be nervous about tossing these into a backpack if you are on the go. The box they come in is small enough to keep them in if you are traveling, but not too convenient or fancy. I definitely recommend finding a case option to keep these from being crushed or twisted.
I definitely recommend these headphones. They have a good price point and the sound/build quality is terrific.

Easy Set Up, Great Functionality
on October 12, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I've used multiple wireless camera set-ups over the years and this one stacks up with any of them.
Pros:
- Even low skill individuals can set this system up. The directions are basic and clear. Even firmware updates are easy with the push up a button in the Eufy app.
- Love the spotlight feature. I set my front door camera to turn on the spotlight when motion is detected at night. This should be enough to scare off any would be burglars approaching my front door.
- Cameras can be set up anywhere you like! Indoors/ourdoors, it is up to you. The included mounts are easy to install and make it difficult for anyone to steal your camera. They need to be screwed off, but if you place them high enough and out of reach they will be well protected.
- Excellent field of view, night vision is solid, picture is stellar in daylight. You can zoom in anywhere in the field of view by pinch to zoom.
- 2-way audio works perfectly, allowing conversations or for you to just say to a solicitor, "Go away, we aren't interested", and watch as they try to figure out where the voice is coming from.
- From your phone you can remotely set off alarms on any of your cameras OR on the base station. This is a terrific feature that would allow you to alert those nearby of a break-in that is in progress or to scare away potential intruders.
- You can add more cameras to this system if you want to expand in the future.
- Battery life is fantastic. I have the settings on medium battery usage meaning that longer video clips are recorded. But I'm still showing 100% battery life. Material that came with this unit indicates a single battery charge can last 6 months. This is possible because the camera can be on low power mode unless motion is detected.
- You can remotely turn off cameras when you don't need them from the app to extend battery life.
- Using the app and local storage are free. If you want cloud storage of your videos you will need to pay for a subscription fee.
Cons:
- The batteries are rechargeable in the cameras, but not replaceable. If the batteries fail in the future you would have to get a new camera to hook up to the base unit.
This is a terrific system and definitely worth a look if you are shopping around for home security cameras.

Crisp Sound, Very Easy Set Up
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is my 3rd set of wireless earbuds that I have used over the years and they are certainly the best.
Pros:
- First, sound quality is excellent. Music sounded phenomenal!
- Set up was extremely easy. After opening the case, my Pixel 3 phone immediately detected the Pixel Buds and initiated the set process. It was quick and painless.
- The touch controls work way better than I expected. A quick swipe forward increases volume on your earbud, a swipe back decreases volume. A double tap skips to the next song and a triple tap takes you back to the previous song. This worked reliably which surprised me. Typically these features are testy on wireless earbuds.
- If an earbud falls out, there are sensors that realize it and your audio pauses. Not only does this keep you from missing the song or podcast you were listening to, but it basically is telling you "Stop and find your earbud that just fell out". Great feature.
- The buds come in a case that will charge them and fit easily in any pocket. USB-C is used to charge the case which does not take long at all.
- The integration of Google assistant works really well. You can have notifications read to you, ask about nearby restaurants, etc. Much can be done without removing your phone from your pocket.
Cons:
- I could not pause songs at first. Tapping the earbuds did not act as intended. But a quick firmware update fixed this problem. You can set the buds to update automatically within the Pixel Buds app.
- After using these ear buds for a few hours I did experience audio dropping in and out a few times with my phone just 2-3 feet away. It didn't happen enough to be a bother but if the frequency increases I could see it getting annoying.
Overall, these are a great price and the functionality is fantastic. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a comfortable wireless option.

Amazing Capacity
on September 14, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is my second air fryer that I have used and I have been impressed thus far.
Pros:
- First of all, the size of this thing helps you fry large amounts of items at the same time. This makes it perfect for families. With my old air fryer, we would often have to do two batches of fries. With this one, you can do plenty in one batch.
- One of the problems with air fryers is that you can get uneven heating where some items are done and some are still slightly frozen or soggy. This requires you to shake the contents of your basket part-way through cooking to ensure the air flow is getting around well. What this machine does well is that it can alert you when it is time to shake to ensure a good batch.
- Easy to clean and more healthy "fried" foods!
Cons:
- You'll need counter space, cabinet space, or pantry space to store it. It is quite large. This is a worthwhile sacrifice in order to be able to cook large batches of your favorite frozen foods (wings, fries, tater tots, etc)
Overall, if you've got the space to store this beast of a machine, it is certainly worth a look. Everything we have fried has came out terrific and we've done wings, fries, and tots so far.

Perfect for Short Power Outages
on August 27, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
The router provided by my Internet service provider can be a real pain to reconnect after a brief power outage. That makes a battery back-up unit critical to avoid annoying disconnects and reconnects.
This model is a solid option for folks with this concern. The battery can keep your router up and functional for over 4 hours. And in an emergency, there is a USB port provided that will allow you to charge your phone.
This unit is affordable and multi-purpose, allowing your devices to be protected from surges (all 7 outlets perform this function), and also providing the battery back-up (5 of the 7 outlets). If you have somewhat frequent power outages and it is critical that you remain online, definitely consider this Battery Back-UPS.

Useful Floor Shampooing Accessory
on June 22, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
If you own a floor shampooing device like me (Hoover Smartwash for pets) this is a useful refill for treating and cleaning spot stains.
My floor cleaner has a wand device that allows you to pre-treat stains. This Oxy product did a good job of treating spots but I highly suggest scrubbing the fluid in using a brush. Then let it sit for a bit before running your shampooing machine. It will successfully remove some stains, but some of the worst stains you have will require more time and effort to remove.

You Can't Go Wrong with Sony Audio
on June 14, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is my 4th Sony Bluetooth speaker I've used over the last several years and all have been terrific, including this one.
Pros:
- As with nearly every Sony product you get the terrific sound quality that they are known for. The bass is especially solid in this unit and the design allows you to see and feel the subs pulsing out both ends.
- Its got excellent design with portability in mind. Place it in the cup holder of a camping chair during a gathering or hang it from a pole or tree branch with the included strap.
- Fast charging via USB-C and long battery life (up to 12 hours)
- You can press a button on the speaker to get a verbal readout of the remaining battery life. I love this underrated feature that lets you prepare before you head out for the day (do I need to charge it?).
- It's designed to be waterproof so it is safe to have near the pool or beach. Just keep the charging port compartment closed.
- You can expand your speaker set-up easily by adding a second one for stereo sound, or even connect countless speakers in party mode to sync music in multiple locations.
- The Sony Music Center app allows for additional customization, but my favorite feature is that it lets you turn your speaker off remotely.
Cons:
- None. This speaker has a great price/value!

Good Sound at a Reasonable Cost
on June 14, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I've used these earbuds for a few days now and found them to be a really good value for the cost/performance.
Pros:
- Sound quality is good. I listened to both music and some podcasts and both came through clear and crisp. Bass levels were decent.
- The in-ear fit was great. In the package you get 3 adapter sizes. The default medium size worked well for me. And the hoops at the top of the earbuds wedge nicely inside your ear to hold them securely in place. I could jump up and down without them feeling even a little loose.
- The charging case is small, sturdy, and fits comfortably in your pocket.
- The case uses a USB-C connection for fast charging.
Cons:
- Touch controls on the earbuds performed a little inconsistently. The directions were nice and clear, but i couldn't do things like raise and lower volume by touch in a consistent fashion. But I may get better at this with practice.
- Like most earbuds I don't recommend these for long-term use. They can be a bit uncomfortable after 30+ minutes.
The price range for these earbuds is terrific for what you get. Good audio quality and terrific portability is a great combination.

Fun, Motorized Nerf Blaster
on May 14, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is a fun Nerf blaster that can add some flavor to your next Nerf battle. The youngsters will enjoy the Fortnite theme. Here are my thoughts.
Pros:
- It comes pre-assembled with very little work to do besides adding 4 AA batteries (not included). Instructions were basic but operation was easy to figure out with what was provided.
- Being able to rapid fire was really cool. Being battery powered allows you to shoot a full magazine of darts without having to "cock the hammer" as you you do with many other Nerf devices.
- There is a convenient access door that slides open, allowing you to clear any jams that occur.
- Power and accuracy were decent.
Cons:
- It's rather large. Adults can use it comfortably. For kids 10 and under it may be a struggle to wield. It's rated for 8+ but kids with small hands will have trouble handling the motor button and trigger at the same time, which is necessary.
- It needs to be operated carefully. If you (or your child) pull the trigger too soon before the motor is rev'd up, it can easily create a jam.
- The magazine says it holds 10 Nerf darts and cautions you to not overfill, but it seems to have the capacity for 20 or more. I'm not sure why it was designed so large. Seems like wasted space.
If you enjoy Nerf dart battles in your household, this would not be a bad addition to your arsenal!

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".

Does the Google Home have an Aux audio output jack? Does it support audio output via Bluetooth or do I have to buy a Chromecast in order to get audio out of the Google Home?

There is no Aux audio output jack. It does not connect via bluetooth. It connects to your home's Wi-Fi network the same way a chromecast device does. Having a chromecast is optional, as you can have audio come directly from the Home device, or have it played through a chromecast connected TV.
