Bissell CrossWave Makes Cleaning Floors a Snap!
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: lambda100
I was eager to put the Bissell CrossWave to the test. I have white tile floors in the kitchen and bathrooms, an area rug in the living room, and laminate flooring throughout my home. Dirt, debris, hair, food stains, and water marks easily show through the white tile floors of my kitchen. Ordinarily this job would require me to use a broom and dust pan to pick up the debris, dirt, and hair, and then bring out the pail and mop to clean up the food stains. This would take at least twenty minutes. However, all of that was easily taken care of by the CrossWave in a matter of two minutes. The dual action mop and vacuum turned a chore into an enjoyable experience. The cleaning solution that came with the CrossWave did an excellent job removing the tough stains and left a fresh lemon scent. Cleaning the area rug was also a cinch and the stains were no match for the CrossWave.
The remainder of flooring in my house is laminate flooring, and I was curious to see how much dust, dirt, and hair the CrossWave would remove compared to my usual tried and true method of using the dry, disposable and refillable cleaning cloths from a certain name brand product. Setting the CrossWave on the hard floor mode, I let the vacuum and multi-floor roller brush work its magic. Once the laminate flooring was cleaned with the CrossWave, I took the dry cleaning cloths from a competitor floor cleaning product and proceeded to go over the same areas where I used the CrossWave. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the CrossWave cleaned my laminate floors. The dry cleaning cloths did not pick up much more dirt. The cloths remained clean and white. However, on corners and edges, the dry cloths did a slightly better job of getting into those harder to reach areas and picked up the remaining dust and hair.
The CrossWave is also very easy to use. Buttons are conveniently located on the handle to select between rugs and hard floors, and mopping action. Measuring the proportion of cleaning solution and water is also quickly done using the fill container with markings that clearly indicate how much water and solution to add. The CrossWave comes with a good length electrical cord. I measured it to be around 25 feet in length.
The dual mop and vacuum action of the CrossWave is pretty much a winner for cleaning hard floors. The warranty is 2 years. However, there are things to be mindful of. First, even though using the CrossWave is quick and easy, you will need to spend some time cleaning up the machine after each use. The brush roller, brush chamber, filter, and the float need to be rinsed and cleaned off to maintain optimal performance. The items will then need to be air dried. Second is the cost of the supplies. Purchasing the Bissell multi-surface floor cleaning formula will naturally increase the overall cost of ownership, especially if you plan to use the mop action often. The Bissell brand multi-surface floor cleaning formula may be more expensive compared to other off-the-shelf floor cleaning formulas. Competitor floor cleaning formulas may not be compatible with the CrossWave and may even void the warranty. So, just keep that in mind. Finally, another item to add to the cost of ownership is that the brush roller will also need to be replaced when it is worn out.

Solid Performing Value Tablet
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: lambda100
Vying to grab some market share from the major tablet manufacturers, Acer produced the Iconia One 10” 32gb (B3-A20) at a low price point to attract users who do not need the bells and whistles of the top tier tablets, but still require some minimum baseline performance. The Acer Iconia One 10” does not disappoint. In fact it is surprisingly a very capable tablet for the everyday user looking for a tablet for light duty use such as browsing the web, checking e-mails, watching videos, streaming music, and playing the occasional non-graphic intensive games.
Locations of Buttons, Weight, and Finish
The tablet has a matte finish to the back which helps with gripping and preventing it from slipping easily from your hand. The power button, volume button, microphone, micro SD card slot are all located along the top edge of the tablet when holding it in landscape mode. Along the left edge there is the micro usb connection and the standard 3.5mm audio jack. The tablet also has right and left speakers.

Along the left edge there is the micro usb connection and the standard 3.5mm audio jack. The tablet also has right and left speakers.
The specs state that the tablet weighs 1.2 lbs. but it really does not feel that heavy. The weight is evenly distributed and I did not feel tired from holding it for extended periods.
Hardware and Operating System
Under the hood the tablet has a 1.3ghz Mediatek MTK MT8163 chip, 32gb of storage, 1gb of RAM, a 10.1” IPS 1280x800 screen, a 5MP rear camera/2MP front camera, a micro SD slot for up to 128gb card, bluetooth 4.0, wi-fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, and a 6.1 milliamp-hr battery. It runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system.

It runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system.
Available Storage and RAM
One of the first things I did after going through all the initial set up menus was to go to the system settings and check how much actual storage and RAM are available. The operating system, pre-installed apps, and system apps consume around 8gb of storage. Although marketed as having 32 gb of storage, there is only 24.35gb of available storage for the user. Additionally, out of the 1gb of RAM, only 549mb was available for use.

Additionally, out of the 1gb of RAM, only 549mb was available for use.
Screen
The 1280x800 IPS screen produces clear, clean, crisp images and sharp text. Also, I was able to clearly view the screen from various angles. It would be no problem for more than one person to be huddled around the tablet and still be able to enjoy watching a movie or viewing pictures together. Colors and skin tones are reproduced accurately, neither too cool (blue) nor too warm (yellow/orange).

Colors and skin tones are reproduced accurately, neither too cool (blue) nor too warm (yellow/orange).
For those who are unsatisfied with the default image settings, Acer has nicely equipped the tablet with MiraVision which is a set of display tuning engines which allows you to dynamically adjust the image settings such as contrast, saturation, brightness, sharpness, color temperature, and contrast. Tune it to your liking and kudos to Acer for making these options available on a budget tablet.
Finally I would like to mention that my tablet also has no edge light bleeding or dead pixels.
Preloaded Apps
The Acer preloaded suite of apps include (1) Acer’s Building Your Own Cloud (BYOC) suite of apps for managing, storing, and interaction with the cloud, and (2) Iconia Suite which includes useful tools such as EZ WakeUp for waking up the tablet from sleep mode and opening a default app by touching the screen, EZ Snap for simplifying screen captures, EZ Tasking for allowing two running apps to be displayed on the screen simultaneously similar to a Windows desktop environment, and EZ Note for easy note taking and managing your collections of images and thoughts.

I enjoy using the EZ Tasking app the most since it allows me to have two apps open simultaneously on the screen. I can have YouTube playing on one part of the screen while I browse the web on Chrome. The screens can also be resized. Note, however, only supported apps will be able to use the EZ Tasking feature.
Acer also pre-installed an app called System Doctor which is more annoying than it is useful which constantly provides notification when the tablet is low on RAM. I have simply learned to just ignore it.
Also pre-loaded is the standard Google framework of apps such as Chrome, Gmail, Calendar, Google Play Store, Play Movies & TV, Hangouts, Youtube, etc.
Finally, there is a Kid Center app which features filtered content and apps which are designed for young kids.
Performance
The tablet is very responsive to the touch. Scrolling and swiping are fluid. There is very little delay when entering text using the on-screen keyboard. Wifi connects without any issues. Web content loads fast. Apps load instantly or with only a second of delay. However, the tablet does begin to lag when multiple apps are opened simultaneously or when many tabs are opened on the browser. There were times when I had Pandora playing in the background, while using the EZ Tasking windows with five tabs opened on chrome and g-mail opened on the other portion of the screen. This overloaded the tablet resulting in the system resources automatically shutting down the Pandora music app. So to get the most optimal experience out of the tablet have no more than a few apps opened.

This overloaded the tablet resulting in the system resources automatically shutting down the Pandora music app. So to get the most optimal experience out of the tablet have no more than a few apps opened.
The Bluetooth connection is robust. I had three devices connected via Bluetooth simultaneously: mouse, keyboard, and external speakers. I did not experience any disconnection while they were in use.
I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the movie streaming was. Video was crisp and clear.
One of the shortcomings of this tablet is the internal speakers. The sound is tinny so only use it when you have to. On this device, audio is best experienced when using headphones or external speakers.
The tablet can last me approximately 9 plus hours with a combination of web browsing and music and video streaming.
There is not much to be said for the performance of the 2mp front facing and 5mp rear facing camera. They clearly lag behind the competition in image quality and feature set. Photos are grainy with excessive noise. Use your smartphone instead for taking selfies and videos. You wouldn’t normally use a 10” tablet to take photos anyways with today’s highly powerful smartphone cameras.
Conclusion
I think this is a great value tablet with solid performance. You get a lot of features on a full size 10” tablet for a very reasonable price. It’s a no brainer. Just don’t overtax the tablet with too many open apps and you’ll be fine. The mediocre speakers, cameras, and annoying System Doctor app are minor issues and other than that, there isn’t much more to criticize. Acer did a very good job with the tablet. I would definitely recommend giving the Acer Iconia One 10” tablet some serious consideration when shopping for your next 10” tablet. In fact I think I will be purchasing a few of these to give as gifts.

Great Wifi Range Extender
on May 12, 2016
Posted by: lambda100
The Linksys Max Stream AC1900 Wifi Range Extender is a winner.
It was easy to perform the initial set up using the Quick Start Guide. There are two ways to set up the wifi range extender wirelessly. The first way is to use Wifi Protected Setup (WPS). The second way is to connect via your internet browser. It can also be set up as a wired range extender with an ethernet cable. It only took me a few minutes to have it set up.
I tested the range for the wifi extender. According to the box, it has a range of 10,000 square feet. The acceptable range for me would be to still have two signal bars. I was able to walk approximately 60 feet away before it dropped down to two bars. I was in an open space, so there were no physical obstructions that you would find in a house such as walls, metallic objects, etc. In my house, there were some dead spots where my wireless router could never get to. Strategically placing the Linksys wifi range extender eliminated the dead spots. Problem solved.
Wireless speed using the range extender is identical as using my wireless router. The range extender is set up to use dual band 2.4 Ghz + 5 Ghz. As an added bonus it has MU-MIMO technology which as the name suggests allows multi-user wireless data packets to be sent simultaneously as opposed to single user SU-MIMO. Without detracting from the review of the Linksys Wifi Range Extender, let's just say that MU-MIMO is the next generation wifi standard. It is definitely nice to have, but you will need your other hardware to also support MU-MIMO to really get the benefits from it.
The unit plugs right into any wall electrical socket. During use it gets very warm and has what appear to be ventilation holes around all four sides.
The unit is designed to be continuously plugged in and connected to your router wirelessly (or wired if using the ethernet cable) 24/7. However, I was curious as to whether or not the wifi extender would re-establish the wireless communication with my router if I turned off the wifi extender by removing it from the wall outlet and re-plugging it back in. Note there is no on or off button. It is continually on when plugged in. It turns out when I did this, most of the time the wifi extender would not re-establish connection. It would continue to blink orange indefinitely, signaling that the connection with my wireless router was not re-established. Re-booting of the router did not solve the issue. The connection still did not re-establish itself. I had to do a full re-set of the wifi extender, and enter set up mode again before it would re-connect with the router. On occasion, it would re-establish the connection to the wireless router. I tested this many times, and with the wifi extender only several feet away from my router. This is a minor issue, though as I intend to keep it plugged in all the time. Maybe it is an isolated problem with the unit I received or perhaps a future firmware update will solve this.
Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend the Linksys Max Stream AC1900 Wifi Range Extender with MU-MIMO technology. I think it is a great wifi extender. Easily 4.5 stars from me, with the half star reduction for the issue I mentioned above.

Great Budget Laptop!

Posted by: lambda100
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this laptop to stream movies and music, browse the web, compose and edit documents and spreadsheets, and watch dvds. It does these things without hesitation. Boot times are also quick, with the laptop booting up between 10-15 seconds. Keyboard is comfortable but there is a little bit of flexing when typing. Screen resolution and color rendition are tolerable considering the fact that this is a budget laptop.

Does a decent job, cool but not cold.
on May 16, 2015
Posted by: lambda100
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the LG 12000 BTU for an upstairs 300 square foot bedroom which gets hot during the day. It was easy to install the plastic panels and the flexible tubing was also easy to bend. The flexible tubing will get very warm during the cooling mode as the warm air is exhausted out. I may end up wrapping the exhaust tubing with some type of insulation to keep the warm air from radiating back to the room. The window kit fits windows from 18" to 50", so measure your window before making the purchase. The unit is heavy, weighing approximately 67 lbs, however, the casters facilitate moving the AC around.
So how well did it work for me? The AC cooled the room well, but it definitely does not get cold like you would feel with a traditional window unit or one from a hotel room. This is expected since all of the single exhaust portable ac units draw in exterior warm ambient air from surrounding areas in order to replace the cool air that was expelled from the tube connected to the window.
As far as noise goes, I did not find the noise to be bothersome. The noise is not any worse than a window unit. Nevertheless, the noise will bother some since we all have different noise tolerances. If you are noise sensitive, I believe some manufacturers make units which they claim are quiet.
The LG portable ac is said to be a self evaporative unit in air conditioner mode which means there should be no need to empty out the condensate water. I live in the arid Southern California area, so there is not much humidity here, and so far I have not had to empty out any water.
One criticism I have is that there is no display of the current room temperature on the AC unit. I also own the LG 8000 BTU portable ac unit, and that one displays the measured room temperature so you can actually see the temperature reading decreasing as the room cools down. However, that is not the case with this 12000 BTU unit. Other than feeling that the room is cooler, I don't really know how many degrees the room actually cooled down to.
Bottom line is that it works and will offer some cooling relief, but won't be as cool and no where as energy efficient as a window unit.

Decent Entry Level Laptop
on December 20, 2014
Posted by: lambda100
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great laptop for users who simply desire to check e-mail, browse the web, watch videos, chat using webcam, stream movies and music, and work on office documents. The i3 processor and 4 gb of RAM are sufficient to perform those tasks. The laptop boots up quickly and wakes instantly from sleep mode. It comes installed with Windows 8, with a free upgrade to Windows 8.1. There isn't much bloatware that comes with the laptop, and the ones that come pre-installed are easy to uninstall. Audio/speaker quality is average. Even at maximum volume, it doesn't get too loud. Purchasing separate external speakers such as a 2.1 system will definitely enhance the audio experience.
Here are some of the cons:
Battery life is short, somewhere on the order of 2 to 3 hrs depending on your use. RAM cannot be upgraded.

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
Can anyone who has used these AND the Bose QC35 comment on the overall comfort for long trips? The QC35s are good, but I can't wear them for more than 3-4 hours before my outer ears start to hurt from the pressure from the cups.
I have both the QC35 and the 1000XM2. The QC35 is more comfortable on long trips. The 1000XM2 headband forces the earcups to press more firmly against my ears and is less comfortable.
