Works Well

We used this type of cleaning solution with our Hoover SmartWash+ PET Complete Automatic Carpet Washer. We had excellent results which you can see in the before and after photos below. The amount of dirt we pulled up is evident with how dark the water is.

The Hoover® SmartWash™ PET Complete Automatic Carpet Washer is just as easy to use as our original SmartWash. Simply push forward to clean and pull back to dry. No trigger, and no mixing solutions. It’s literally as easy as vacuuming. And the SmartWash™ PET Complete is designed specifically for homes with pets. Use the Spot Chaser™ Pretreat Wand to pretreat stains before you clean or as you go. Plus, the antimicrobial FlexForce Pet PowerBrushes remove deep-down dirt while resisting pet odors. For those pet stains on stairs or furniture SmartWash™ PET Complete comes with an antimicrobial scrubbing tool.

Affordable and Effective
on April 18, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the first carpet cleaner I have owned and I am super glad to have it on hand now.
Pros:
- Out of the box assembly was extremely easy. No tools needed. Even folks with low skill can set this up.
- Accessories include a hose and handheld scrubber that you can use on staircases and other hard to reach spots.
- The "Dry Only" feature was awesome. Carpet cleaners I have borrowed from relatives in the past would clean as you push forward and suck the fluid back up as you pull backward. This one does the same, but you can turn on "Dry Only" with the push of a button. This allowed me to go over the wet carpet as long as I wanted to very easily, both forward and backward, in order to suck up remaining fluid. The results were a carpet that was nearly completely dry within a few hours instead of a day later!
- As you can see in my photos the cleaning was quite effective. The first photo shows a dirty area of carpet while the 2nd photo shows the results after cleaning along with the incredibly dirty fluid that has been sucked back up into the cleaner. Some more ground in stains did not come out easily, but I will allow the spot chaser formula to soak longer to see if that helps.
- The spot chaser wand is easy to use. You pull the handle out of the unit, and a battery-powered button sprays cleaning solution onto spots that need additional treatment.
- The unit is easy to clean. Sections come apart nicely so that you can pick out human and pet hair that have collected on the brushes and elsewhere.
Cons:
- None! Buy this thing if you need a carpet cleaner. as the retail price is reasonable. I imagine it will work well whether you have pets or not.

Fantastic Gaming Mouse on a Budget
on March 26, 2020
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Gaming mice can be very expensive. If you are looking for a well functioning wired gaming mouse, this is an excellent option.
Pros:
- Easy set-up - plug and play! To fully customize settings and program macros you will need to download the "SteelSeries Engine".
- The scroll wheel has excellent texture and works very well.
- It is designed and contoured to be used by both left and right-handed users.
- Accuracy was excellent. I always prefer wired to wireless mice as I feel there is always better accuracy and no lag.
- The lighting looks really cool, kind of like a car with underglow features.
- Lightweight and easy to move around smoothly
- Excellent price for the performance and features
Cons:
- None
This is an all-around fantastic mouse at a budget price. Unless you are an extremely competitive gamer and want something really high end with more than 6 buttons to customize, this is a great option for you.

Decent Electric Razor
on November 24, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I am a big fan of electric razors and have been using them for about 25 years. Not only do they provide a quicker/easier way to shave, but I appreciate the zero risk of cutting yourself and the edge trimmers provide a great way to keep sideburns and beards in nice order.
I historically have used shavers with rectangular shaped foils and blades but gave this model with the circular blades a chance. After a few shaves it has performed well each time and is on par or better with other models I have used. I have not had to recharge it yet so it seems that it will go at least a week without needing charging.
While I appreciate that this shaver came with a travel bag, the bag will only fit the shaver itself but not the charging cord. So if you are taking a weekend trip you should be fine, but if you are going on a long vacation, you will need to pack the charging cord separately. I do appreciate the provided cover to protect your foils when not in use.
Overall, this shaver comes at a decent price and I encourage folks to consider it if they are looking for a good mid-level electric shaver.

High End, Excellent Quality
on November 23, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the first MartinLogan audio product that I have experience with and I was extremely impressed. At first glance you may think that a set-up that is smaller than most surround sound systems might under perform. But that was certainly not the case with this speaker system.
Pros:
- Top notch performance for both music and movies. The audio quality was fantastic as I was able to hear every small detail of audio on the movies I watched. And listening to music almost seemed like the high quality audio experience that you get when you are wearing the best quality headphones, allowing you to hear incredible detail in the performance.
- The magnetic speaker covers are a nice touch.
- The color, style, and high end craftsmanship of the system sets it apart from other speaker systems that typically use cheaper materials to keep production cost down.
- The 5 year parts and labor warranty is almost unheard of. You can buy this system knowing that you have a safety net for a long time if anything were to go wrong. That is very comforting when spending on a high-end system like this.
Cons:
- While I personally love the style of these speakers, they will not necessarily mesh with every living room design in my opinion. The speakers may stand out and not fit in with less modern environments.
- The price could be considered a drawback, but you get what you pay for! If you want high quality, a terrific warranty, and it is in your budget, spending the extra dollars is worth it.

Stunning Video Quality
on October 27, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I've always been hesitant about getting a GoPro, as I've always found the video quality that I get from my high end mobile phones to be sufficient when capturing family events, etc. After using this GoPro for a few days I now understand what all the hype is about.
This weekend both of my kids had soccer games so I felt that was the perfect opportunity to put the HERO8 through its paces. Going in, I expected the video quality to be good, but I was floored at how good the action shots came out.
Pros:
- Slow motion! It looks really cool when you slow down an action shot and watch blades of grass flying through the air.
- 4k video puts 1080p to shame. (make sure your microSD card supports 4k)
- Voice commands allow you to take photos remotely for group shots. You can also operate the camera from your phone (both Android and iOS) through the GoPro app.
- Audio was excellent. Even though it was windy this weekend, I could hardly tell when playing back the video I captured at the soccer fields.
- The small size makes it easy to tote around. If you don't plan to mount it, you can easily slip it into a pocket.
- Fully waterproof! Not just water-resistant! I can't wait to try this camera out during a future vacation in the Caribbean or even at a local pool.
- I'm not a live-streaming kind of guy, but if that's something that interests you, this camera can do it.
Cons:
- With the small size comes drawbacks with battery life. After a full charge, I was able to use it off and on for about a total of 75 minutes before the battery got low.
I wasn't a believer before but I am now on the GoPro bandwagon. Check out the HERO8 if you are looking to upgrade an older model or are just getting your first GoPro like me.

A Must Have for XBox One Owners
on October 26, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Nearly all XBox Ones come with only 1TB of storage capacity making an external hard drive a near necessity. This 3TB drive comes at a good price and the capacity you need so that you don't have to constantly delete games to make room for more.
I also own a 2TB drive from another manufacturer. It has served me well for the past year or so, but it was also starting to get full so the extra terabyte that this model offers is very welcome. The set up process is very simple. You just connect it to your XBox via USB and follow the on-screen instructions once the system detects the new hardware.
I don't plan to keep both of my hard drives in use at the same time, so what I did was transfer all of my games from my old drive to this new one. That process is also simple. You just go into your storage settings, choose the old external drive and select the option that allows you to copy all contents. Then you select your new hard drive and all apps and games will be moved over. It may take a few hours if you have a lot of content.
If you own an XBox One and buy most of your games digitally, I highly recommend this product.

An Affordable BIG Screen TV
on October 10, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Prior to this 65" Hisense, the largest TV I have owned was a 52" from a well known high-end manufacturer. Like this Hisense model (H8F), my 52" set had 4k resolution as well. But I had heard that 4k wasn't easily discernible to the naked eye unless your TV was closer to 60" or larger. I now know that this is a true statement. This TV makes 4k content really pop!
Pros:
- Like I said above, the 4k picture is fantastic. I'm watching Thursday Night Football as I write this review and the picture is the best I've seen in any living room.
- The price point is fantastic considering the picture quality and features that this TV comes with.
- This is my 2nd TV that runs off of Android OS and I have found it to work very well on both sets. With this being an Android TV I can connect it to my Google Home to use voice commands. The remote control also accepts voice commands.
Cons:
- Sound is OK, but like all TVs these days, you really want to invest in a sound bar or surround sound system for high quality audio.
- Menu navigation can be sluggish at times. I prefer to use my XBox or Apple TV to run streaming media apps.
If you are in the market for a large TV, this is a bargain at its current retail price. Make sure you have room for it though. 65 inches sounds great, but sometimes it is possible to be TOO big!

Amazing Picture
on October 7, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
My previous projector only projected a 1080i resolution image so I was very excited to see how much an improvement 4k was. The difference was night and day.
Pros:
- Can project up to a 300" diagonal. I was limited with my wall space and couldn't go this big but I can only imagine how awesome it would look.
- Built-in bluetooth allows you a lot of flexibility for audio options. I have a portable screen I like to set up on my patio and now I can just hook up a bluetooth speaker for convenient sound.
- Terrific brightness. You do not need a dark room for this projector to function well. Also, darks displayed very well and were not washed out.
- For such a large unit, I was expecting the fan to be louder. It did not distract me from the movies I watched or games that I played.
- Solid packaging. If you plan on having yours shipped like mine was, it is well packed and secure.
Cons:
- There is no on-board audio. If you want that, the more expensive 3800 model is the one you want.
- This is a large and heavy projector. If you plan to mount it, make sure you use a heavy duty mount. And make sure you have the space available. It is 16" wide, 13" deep, and weighs over 14 pounds.
- There is a quick start guide but no manual. Menus were easy enough to navigate but I always like a paper manual with high-end electronics.
You get what you pay for and this is a pretty high-end projector. I recommend this model for pretty much anyone, whether you are looking for a media room projector or something portable. Even though it is large, the bluetooth functionality makes it great for on the go.

Small in Size, Works Great!
on October 7, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have used several models of Linksys routers over the years. The AC3000 is by far the smallest, but still provides strong performance.
Pros:
- Perfect for apartments or small homes. It covers up to 3000 square feet. I had no issues with signal strength in my 2300 square foot home.
- 4 extra ports to hardwire additional devices.
- Easy to set up
- Fast speeds, rated at a max of 3 Gbps. Speed tests had me maxing out the download and upload speed offered by my ISP.
- Uses MU-MIMO tech which allows for multiple devices to use data simultaneously instead of taking turns. Great for large families!
Cons:
- I'm still not a fan of using apps to set-up routers, but that seems to be the way things are going with most routers these days. At least the process is easy and allows you to tweak settings. But I like to minimize the amount of apps I have on my phone.
The AC3000 is a terrific buy. Nice job, Linksys.

The A6G series. Proving that good things come in big packages too. Take your pick from 75”, 70”, 65”, 60”, 55”, 50” and 43” screens. For 4K UHD picture quality, in the perfect size for your space. With Android TV, you can discover 700,000+ movies and shows in one place. Ask Google to control your TV with your voice. And cast your photos, videos, and music from devices to your TV easily with Chromecast built-in™. Add to that Dolby Vision HDR and Auto Low Latency Game Mode. Or as we call it, a great looking TV.
 

Is this TV good for gaming?

Yes, I would say so! I have been using it with my Xbox One X for about a week now and it has been great for the games I play. What I've liked most is I can now read better for some games that have tiny text that was tough to see on smaller TVs.

How long to charge? How long does it stay charged?

7 hours from fully drained to fully charged.

Battery depletion depends on many things including your weight, what performance-mode you are in (sport uses the most juice), the terrain you are riding on, etc. But a max of 28 miles as advertised is possible, depending on those variables.

Take care of all floor work with this Samsung POWERbot Slim robot vacuum. Its CycloneForce separation technology provides 40 times stronger suction than conventional vacuums for more efficient cleaning while preventing clogging. The Wi-Fi connectivity and Alexa compatibility of this Samsung POWERbot Slim robot vacuum let you operate it remotely from your smartphone or via voice command.
 

How do you have to recharge the R7070? Does it need a special electric outlet? How high can the outlet be. Can you program this without a smart phone?

It has a docking station for charging. The vacuum is smart enough to know when it's battery is running low and returns to the docking station to charge on it's own. It does not need to be a special outlet. The power cord is long enough for you to use pretty much any electric outlet you may have. And yes, there is an app to use with the vacuum where you can program how you want it to run.
