Tried on a Hisense 4K TV (1 signal light lit) and a Samsung 4K TV (3 signal bars, see image), neither one found any channels. Instead of this, i would recommend the flat paper sail like antennas which seem to have the best signals in my testing.

Easy Install, but unreliable
on October 9, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
PRE-REVIEW-NOTE: I am willing to accept that I may have received a defective unit, however as the review timeframe opened up (had to be done by) the weekend, I am somewhat obligated to submit the review as-is now.
While initially I was hoping for better installation documentation, a little looking at the device and it was obvious how to proceed and my desk drawer (where I might store medicine or private documents) seemed like the perfect place for this. I thought it would be useful because some younger family members also sometimes spend time alone in my room (without me being here), it seemed important to start securing prescription drugs and such. The installation was two screws to secure the mounting bracket at the top of the drawer inside, put in the battery and pair in the app, then slide in the lock itself. Afterwards insert the 'tab', put a sticky on back of the tab, close the drawer and push it so it sticks to proper place on drawer, unlock it with app, open the drawer, and with two screws secure the tab in place on sliding part of drawer. Works pretty good, at first. Often. it failed to communicate, but it sometimes offered a quick repair option (over Bluetooth).
Ther was a rather fundamental problem. At evening when i needed meds, I found myself locked out. I don't know if the app malfunctioned, was having server issues, or something was interfering with bluetooth, or who knows what. This could be dangerous for some, and in my case if I abruptly stop my medication without titrating off it could be disastrous. Fortunately, i eventually ripped the lock off with a little muscle, so i am fine (props to my bob's discount furniture marble desk for having low quality wood which made it easy to pull the screws out of.).
I would not recommend this.

Satechi USB-C Multimedia M1 Adapter
on October 1, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
I checked this device for functionality and was mostly pleased with it. I thought it could have used an ethernet port and a headphone jack, but that wasn’t in the specs as advertised so I cannot hold it against it. Every port worked as expected, except it appeared there were two USB-C ports, and one port seems focused on data (with some power) and the other seems like no data, but higher power (wattage) supported. With the laptop used for testing, the higher-powered port did not seem to perform better (at charging) than the data port – that may be a limitation of power provided by this laptop, though. Both HDMI Ports worked, and both USB-type A Super Speed ports worked. A soft, small light gives a power indication if you’re concerned about whether it is getting power from maybe a laptop that is off or in sleep mode. The ‘M1’ in the product name would make it sound like it’s for a Mac with an M1 Processor, but that’s not the case, it works fine on a PC with an Intel Core i9, and any other computer with a compatible USB-C port.

Great Sound Quality
on September 29, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Jlab Air Pop is the best sounding headphones out the numerous headphones I have tried. My sampling of the headphones produced an outstanding sound quality (with YouTube Music) . I verified that call quality is about what you'd expect for a telephone call. Call quality is on par with the best headphones, remote call receiver didn't complain about not being able to hear me once. At the price advertised when I received these, these are a good value. In the limited time to review, I can't comment on things like durability and battery life.

14-Cup MAX Brew, Smooth Coffee Taste
on September 20, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Mr. Coffee Max Brew made what I and others considered to be a much improved cup of coffee when compared with an earlier Mr. Coffee model that I used. Smooth is a word I would use to describe the coffee, the same beans I was using (Dunkin Original ground) gave an improved taste.
The water filter also is worth installing and replacing regularly. There are all sorts of 'water additives' (intentionally or not) in the water supply, and the filter should help minimize the chance of ingesting same.
Inside of the area where the water runs through the grinds and filter, there was something unexpected above, all I can say about it is that it is different and it may impact the coffee quality.
The only thing I would add, be careful with the cleaning cycle and make sure everything is inserted as directed in manual, and ensure that not too much water is added. The coffee pot managed to make a small flood when I ran the initial cleaning without watching it, but I am certain it was something which I did incorrectly.

Inkjet that may convert me from Laser
on September 15, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
This is one of the highest priced inkjet printers I have owned, my initial impression is it may be worth it. The (android, in my case) app portion of setup is super easy, in a chat-like form, it steps you through everything and you can scroll if you missed something. Ink is brainless (easy) to install once the app shows where to do it. Most of bottle was used each time, maybe there was a few drops left. Also, during on-printer touch screen setup, note that the panel tilts out for easy reading, important if you're setting up near floor level as I was. During alignment it's worth stating the numbers with the "#" are the step numbers, those without "#" are choices - initially I found that confusing. A firmware update is installable after setup, I can only say so far that the firmware updated didn't seem to do damage.
The menu on printer display once the setup is complete is very simple and uncomplicated.
I printed a photo (from android Epson app) on 8.5x11 setting, the color was true to original, it came out of printer reasonably fast, and it printed to the very edge of the paper (there was no 'white space' at edge). It was, to my eyes, at least as sharp on paper as it was on phone sceen, though paper was blown up larger.
While 2 sided printing worked fine from Microsoft Word on a PC... Printing a PDF (restaurant menu) from android with two-sided printing selected, it printed the whole document one-sided which was not great. This is likely an android driver issue which an update could fix, so I won't count it against the printer.
Even though I use a standalone scanner for daily scanning, the flat-bed scanner here will prove useful (for example licenses and photos). The document feeder is more useful to me when I would fax, I have confidence that the fax works fine (I've had other Epson printers, and don't suspect they broke it). I do not fax too often, though. I almost wanted to make a joke about the included CD, but like having a fax, including drivers as an option (for those who don't want to connect to net and download for whatever reason), can be important.
At the cost of ink, this may convert me away from laser finally. That's even if I did buy brand name ink.

Well-designed blender with many features
on September 11, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
This Ninja Foodi Blender Ultimate's included equipment is quite impressive (and there are additional parts you can buy as add-ons, from what I see on the box, for example there was a coffee grinder option). I won't rehash it here, the product description likely has a list. But we have two different types of people in the house I live in that will find it useful. One, myself, is more likely to use this for smoothies (cups) and mixed (alcoholic) frozen drinks. However, this is the first of these multi-purpose Blenders that I've tried and shown to another family member who does more of the cooking, and they found it as something that will be very useful for more food preparation purposes (for example, the slicer they thought might be interesting to try with parmesan cheese when making, maybe, a Caesar salad). However, because I'm supposed to write this review based on my own personal experience, I will limit my feedback here to what I know about using it for drinks, and what I observed of the machine's performance.
Unlike another model from a different manufacturer that I tried, this one seems to have the safety features where it shouldn't turn on if it is not safe to turn on - that is majorly important in my book.
When I power it on, I can see the interface design is gorgeous, The lights that light up the options (which are not visible when powered off), are of multiple intensities, where the options not selected are lit but dimmer than the brightest one which is selected. The options are presented around a circle (with spacing), which adds to the visual appeal. The countdown timer is in the center of the start button, the timer is pretty standard on recent blenders that I've tried, but it's presented well here. When I see a focus on small visual details on a product like this, it tells me they probably have long since perfected the mechanics of the device and had plenty of time in this release cycle to focus on aesthetics.
I imagine this part of the review will be less interesting so I will try to keep it short. For an alcoholic frozen drink, we had some open Pina Colada mix in the fridge already when I received this, as well as a rum and whatever else we added (maybe frozen pineapple) and of course, ice. For a smoothie, I used the standard cup, added two frozen fruits, yogurt, whey powder, and water (some may prefer milk or juice), and started it, While there was a smoothie button, there was no apparent button for the frozen drink, but it was easy enough to use manual mode with pulsing as needed. In manual mode, at first it seemed weak in terms of power, but I quickly noticed that I could dial it up by turning the start button. I adjusted the speed until I heard the ice chopping quiet down, then stopped it. The drinks were fine, but the taste will have more to do with what ingredients you put in.
I believe I feel confident enough to be able to recommend this blender based on my experience with it so-far.

Unbelievable at this price
on August 27, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
Unexpectedly, i think i like these earbuds better than ones that were around three times the price. The sound quality was, in my opinion, better than that pair, at least with tidal hifi playing. I suspect whatever Qualcomm aptX(tm) is has something to do with that. The noise isolation was surprise tested when 3 family members were screaming to get my attention and i was blissfully unaware. This isn't a big negative, but i should note it appears there are no lights for charging or power, but really plug it in when it needs it, take it off when you need it, your phone can report charge level, lights aren't a necessity. Case is usb-c fast charging. The rainproof durability advertised will probably be sprinkler proof too, for me thats great when i walk outdoors. When i tested it, by all appearances these earbuds were not listed as supported in the app, i may have received them prerelease which could explain. The only consequence of that for me is i could not test the features in the app. I checked the voice call feature, the caller sounded clear, they said i sounded good too.

The Shark Vertex Pro combines the power and performance of a full-size vacuum* with the ease of a cordless stick. It features deep-cleaning DuoClean PowerFins and a self-cleaning brushroll to get rid of hair wrap. *Tested in Boost mode vs. ZU360.
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
I wanted a cordless vacuum specifically for vacuuming the rug on the stairs (it will be used beyond this), and the Shark Vertex Pro worked great for that. It was so easy that it took me more time, because I did a much more thorough and detailed cleaning than I would with the old corded vacuum. Picked up plenty of dust/dirt, and it was less than about 2 months since it was last vacuumed. It will probably be done more often with the cordless.
After a charge (took under 3 hours), I was impressed with how well it cleaned. There was plenty of power, though as I mentioned I did the stairs and it used about 30% of the battery for that. Additionally, as a stick vacuum, it did a pretty good job picking up visible dirt (more visible with the included headlighting).
The vacuum folds compactly to store. The Vacuum is lighter than any similar vacuum I've used, and very portable. With a button press, you can detach it at either the bottom (if you need the stick) or the top (when you don't), and the tools clip in easily.
As per the battery, it is easily removable, which is a good thing, because all batteries die and eventually need replacement. Shortly after you press the power button to on, you get an indicator of battery percentage to get a feel for how much time you have left (it appears to round to nearest 10%). Through that same control panel you can adjust suction power manually, or select what kind of floor/surface you're working on.
The only negative is there does not appear to be any place to store the attachments on the vacuum itself. I may need to get a bag and store it somewhere near where I will be charging the battery. I admit I wouldn't want to carry around a stick while cleaning that had the attachments dangling, so maybe this was a good choice.
If you are looking for a light, portable, versatile, cordless vacuum, this seems like a good one.

Arozzi Gaming Mouse - Customizable and Light
on July 28, 2021
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Arozzi Favo Ultra Light Mouse is both lighter and smaller than my prior gaming mouse (*another brand). The DPI is customizable by pressing the button in front of the scroll wheel, and it will change the scroll wheel light color depending on what setting it is on. To adjust the color settings, the card insert directed me to download additional software from the support website, which was in a non-English language, but Chrome offered to use Google Translate to make it readable in English. Once I downloaded the software (which windows security advised me against installing, but I clicked 'more info' and 'run anyway'), it displayed all prompts in my local language. While I initially was wowed by the red 'outer glow' along the bottom edge of the mouse, I tried some other colors, and was even more impressed with the look and customization of the mouse. I played 20 minutes with a game to get a feel for the mouse, and yes, it is more comfortable (again, due to size and weight). It's a wired mouse, but my previous one was too, and to be honest, I'd rather not worry about battery level, so wired works well for me. I plan to continue using this mouse, and yes, I'd recommend it.
