My Wife's New Favorite Appliance
on September 5, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have been hearing about the wonders of air fryers for a long time and was anxious to give one a try. I am happy to report that they are as great as everyone says.
When I opened this thing up my wife's eyes got as big as saucers. She loves chicken wings and couldn't wait to make a batch. A recipe book comes with great instructions on how to cook wings, fries, and many other items.
For our first dinner we made wings and fries, purchasing them both in the frozen goods section at our local supermarket. They both turned out amazing! The wings were crispy and delicious plain, but we also melted some butter with some hot sauce to toss the rest. You can fit about 8-10 good sized wings inside the extra large basin which makes for a good sized batch. You don't fry them on the wire rack like I have them pictured below. We figured out pretty quickly that the rack is really only for broiling. The fries also turned out crispy, which is how I like them. A few were a little too crispy but we can just take a minute off the timer next time we make them and I think they will be perfect. We have already purchased some frozen onion rings for our next go around!
I was worried that cleaning this fryer might be a pain. However, it was not nearly as difficult as we thought. The basin has a rack at the bottom that can easily be removed and washed and the basin itself is easy to wipe down at that point.
Other notes:
- For the kids we have also tried out some chicken nuggets and they tasted way better than when we heat them up in the oven.
- We haven't tried it yet but this device can also be used as a food dehydrator which is pretty cool.
If you are looking for a healthier way to enjoy foods that are typically deep fried, this is a fantastic option. And I definitely suggest going with a large model so that you can make large portions if you are serving multiple people.

Stylish with Customization Options
on August 18, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the first time I have owned a secondary fridge and I have loved how it has opened up storage space in my primary fridge. I keep this one in my garage for now, but will likely move it under a kitchen counter during a future remodel. Here are my thoughts after using it for several days.
Pros:
- Excellent design and build quality. It's sturdy and looks high-end.
- Shelves can be removed based on your storage preferences.
- It can be fine tuned to a specific temperature setting that you prefer.
- You can use it as a stand-alone fridge and place it anywhere you like or place it under a counter. The dimensions are such that it will fit under any standard counter-top.
- It can fit into tight spaces and does not need ventilation.
- The LED lighting can be left on and looks really cool in the dark.
Cons:
- The lowest setting is 41 degrees. If you like your beer or soda extra cold you will want to keep those in your primary fridge. This is not meant to be a primary fridge so keep that in mind.
This is an excellent option if you are looking to free up space in your refrigerator and would provide some nice eye-candy to any kitchen. I think it is best suited for wine drinkers, however.

Great Video Quality, Easy to Use
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is my first dash cam so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seemed like a really well put together device.
Pros:
- It's very light and small. You can place it anywhere and it doesn't take up much space.
- Multiple mounting options are available. You can use the suction mount or the adhesive. I'm worried about the adhesive lasting long term due to the Texas sun it would be exposed to. I mounted mine low on my dash and out of my field of view but I think I will move it up by my rearview mirror where my windshield has additional tinting.
- The video quality is fantastic. You will need a Micro SD card (up to 128GB) in order to set up the device so make sure you have one on hand.
- The touch screen is easy to navigate. Very simple menu system.
Cons:
- Battery life is not great. You will want to keep it connected to power at all times. But the cord is long enough no matter where you mount it so no worries there. But I would like the option to not have a cord running up to my windshield whenever I'm driving.
This is a fairly inexpensive dashcam that could save you far more than it costs if it can prove you were not the cause of an accident or that you were not deserving of a ticket. I recommend that everyone protect themselves with a dashcam, and the Nextbase is a terrific option.

PC Gaming on a Budget
on June 19, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the 3rd Acer laptop that I have ever owned and each of them has served me well. However, this is the first laptop I've had that was geared toward gaming so I will review it as such.
Pros:
- This laptop ships with a sleeve to protect and transport it. Very nice touch!
- For anyone that buys a gaming rig, the ability to upgrade is key. This unit is extremely up-gradable, whether you want to add more RAM or a second SSD (which is much needed).
- While this unit doesn't come with a top of the line graphics card, it is more than powerful enough to run most graphic intensive games out there. I put it through the paces and had excellent frame rates on the beautiful 1080P display.
- The omission of a disc drive helps keep the laptop thin and lighter for a 15" model.
Cons:
- You can always pay more for a model with a larger SSD, but this one comes with only 256GB of storage. That's enough space for only a handful of games so you will find yourself deleting and downloading new games constantly if you do not add a 2nd SSD. But for this excellent price point, you get what you pay for.
- The red backlit keyboard looks really cool, but I prefer white back-lighting for functionality purposes. It's tough for me to make out red keys.
- I didn't like how the track pad was off-center.
If you are looking for a portable gaming rig and don't want to break the bank, this is a terrific option to go with. However, I encourage prospective buyers to go with a model that has 1TB of storage so that you do not need to constantly delete and download new games.

Pros:
- Very lightweight. You could wear these all day long and not get a stiff neck.

Cons:

Overall these are a great buy and should definitely be considered if you are looking for affordable headphones from a respectable brand.

Fantastic New Way to Listen on the Go
on May 15, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Bose has always been well known for great sound quality. When it comes to these sunglasses, they are proving to show terrific innovation.
Pros:
- Set up was very easy. You just install the Bose Connect app and follow instructions. It takes just a few minutes to complete all the steps.
- The shades provide UVA and UVB protection for your eyes.
- They are lightweight and comfortable.
- Function control is simple. There is just one button used to power them up, pause, resume, answer calls, skip songs, etc. They are turned off simply by placing the glasses upside down for 2 seconds.
- This ability to listen to music and podcasts without having to bring along headphones is awesome. You just need your sunglasses!
Cons:
- Set up requires enabling your location settings on your phone. But you can turn off your GPS after set up.
- The Rondo style isn't the best look on me. The Alto model would be more up my alley.
This is a great pairing of devices (shades and headphones) that can simplify your life. Check them out!

Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This speaker combines Sony's consistently excellent sound quality in a small and portable speaker that is the perfect size to take on the go.
Pros:
- Battery life is excellent. Even with heavy use you will not have to charge it often.
- Great price for a quality product
- The smaller size makes it nice and portable without sacrificing sound quality
Cons:
- It won't fill a large area with sound, but it is designed more for small rooms or intimate outdoor locations.
If you are looking for a speaker to take on the go or provide audio in a kitchen or bedroom, this is a great option to consider.

Great Gaming Headset
on March 26, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have used a few Turtle Beach gaming headsets over the years and this one ranks as the best by far.
Pros:
- My first concern with a wired headset is always cord length. This was not an issue as I could easily sit in my recliner and game about 10-12 feet away from my entertainment center.
- I tested the headset out with Far Cry 5 on my Xbox One X. The sound was incredible. I could hear every sound around me and the direction it was coming from.
- The mic monitor works great. You can see how you sound to make sure your voice is coming through clearly for other people in multi-player and you aren't breathing heavy into the mic.
- While I dislike having to install yet another app on my phone (see below), the features it provides are really nice. You can choose from audio presets depending on the type of game you are playing (racing, FPS, etc). You can also design your own presets.
- Comfort level was decent, but not the best I've experienced.
- While these are not designed for noise-canceling, they do a really good job of keeping ambient noise out so you are not disturbed during your gaming sessions.
Cons:
- While it has nice features, I really dislike installing additional apps on my phone. I would prefer to have a small attachment to my controller that would allow me to adjust game/chat volume instead of having to pick up my phone.
- This is the heaviest headset I have used for gaming. I imagine marathon gaming sessions will start to cause my neck to ache. Fortunately, with two kids, I don't get more than a couple hours at a time to play.
This headset should definitely be considered by any gamer looking for an upgrade on an older model. You will certainly be impressed by the sound quality and features.

Stylish and Great Sound
on March 19, 2019
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have owned numerous bluetooth speakers, but this is my first one that has had Amazon's Alexa assistant built-in. To sum up this item easily, if you would love for your smart speaker to be able to double as your audio device, this is the speaker for you.
Pros:
- The Marshall design/style is phenomenal. It will remind you of old-school speakers popularized decades ago and are still in use today because of their quality.
- The sound quality is excellent. You won't be filling up the whole house with sound, but it is plenty loud for its size. And the clarity is impressive. You can't find much better sound quality in this price range.
- The inclusion of Alexa is a huge plus. If you are an Amazon Prime subscriber then you instantly have access to thousands of songs at your fingertips that you can stream just by asking Alexa to play a specific song or album for you.
- The compact design allows you to place this speaker on pretty much any regularly sized shelf and it doesn't sacrifice sound quality.
Cons:
- Having to install yet another app to my phone to use another smart device is kind of annoying. But it is worth the sacrifice to have such a wonderfully functional smart device in my home. Tip: Make sure you install the correct Marshall app.
Overall, this is a buy. Definitely consider this model if you are looking for a smart speaker but also want high quality sound for your music, audio books, etc.

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.

Asking the people that bought this mouse, have they fixed the wireless connection issues ??? Any software updates to address the problem ??? Thank you in advance.....

I didn't have any of these issues with mine, so it seems that the issue has been resolved. It may have just been a bad batch during their first production run.

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.
