Great Tasting Coffee Maker
on October 19, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Mr. Coffee Rapid Brew seems to brew a very smooth cup of coffee. I like that the scoop tells you how many scoops for how many cups (from memory, a scoop is equal to 4 cups of coffee). It seems to work with standard coffee filters. Unexpectedly, the pot included a water filter too, but we have a water filter in our refrigerator which we used to fill the water, so it was not tested. As per it being 'rapid', it seemed faster than other Mr. Coffee pots, but on par with some other coffee machines I've used. Because it tasted so good, we are considering replacing our main pot with this one. If I had one complaint, it was that the curved in top of the coffee pot does not work well with the water dispenser on our fridge (it doesn't press against the back part which starts the water flow, meaning I might have to stick my hands in to dispense water). Eight cups of water seemed to brew 7 cups of coffee, but i guess some evaporation is to be expected.

Great 2 Slice Toaster
on October 13, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
Out of the box, the first thing that stands out was how shiny the stainless steel of the toaster was, it makes a nice addition to our kitchen. The first item we toasted was two slices of brioche bread, one slice at a time, in an attempt to figure out the toaster settings. The first attempt, it overtoasted (dark) brioche bread at a setting between 1 and 2, but a second run at between 0 and 1 lightly toasted the bread perfectly. The difference between the two seemed to be about 30-seconds worth of toasting time. As with many appliances like this, just the first time the burner came on to toast, there was an odor that came as the new smell burned off.
A nice feature is the digital timer which gives a countdown like a microwave. It was also convenient that you can adjust the time while it is cooking by turning the dial (And it remembers how much time already passed). The anti-jam feature turned out to be useful when we toasted a croissant (cut in half) which jammed on the way up. Toasting a (half) "everything" bagel worked well, and I can tell you that with the butter which melted on the hot toasted bagel it was amazing, the bagel button appeared to add about 20 seconds to the cook time for the setting I was on..
Another family member also used it to toast a Frozen Waffle, following the instructions on the waffle box (I believe it was toast it twice on a light setting) and it came out good from what I'm told. They commented that they like how it seems to get hot quicker than our older toaster. I lightly toasted a Pop-Tart (set between 0 and 1) and it came out warm and tasted better than I was used to, a later toasting between 1 and 2 toasted it darker with a few burn marks (crispier). A different family member toasted a bran muffin-top just to warm it up and that worked well.
I used the Defrost setting on first toast of a Frozen French Toast slice, then second round toasted it again normal, and that also came out very good. Overall my family and I are enjoying this toaster, though 4-slices would've been more convenient, but I would recommend it.

Great Sound & Battery Life
on October 2, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Jlab Epic Air Sport ANC True Wireless earbuds provided a very good quality sound. I used them both at home (indoor/outdoor) and at the gym and they performed great in all environments. I tested the earbuds with services like Tidal and Quibi, both sounded mostly very good. The noise cancelling works well for blocking out some outside noises, though sometimes you will want it either off or set on 'be aware' to hear your environment.
The over-ear hook is important to have for me, especially if I'm doing something like the treadmill with a lot of bouncing in my step, because they help keep them in the ear well. It's important to get the right fit for the rubber earpieces (variety included), because the default size was apparently too large and actually hurt my ear.

The USB plug is built into the charging case, which I found convenient in my environment. In my testing, I couldn't get the battery to run out, the claimed battery life (plus stored charge in the charging case) is the best I've seen so far in terms of true wireless earbuds I've owned.
I was glad that I can switch equalizer settings right from the earbuds themselves, there are voice prompt that let you know what you're switching to which is a plus. Perhaps the hard part is remembering all the tap/hold gestures to change modes. I would definitely recommend reviewing the quick start manual that comes with it to learn the basic controls, though with the app you have some ability to customize some of that. While I wasn't sure at first, I think these will be my primary earbuds going forward, and I would recommend them.

Easy to Set Up Extender
on September 24, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
If you're looking to get a video display to a screen across a room without running a long HDMI cable, this Wireless HDMI Extender pretty much is plug in and it works. If you plug in the receiver end first, you'll see a display indicating it's not connected to the transmitter (it's waiting for that). When the transmitter's connected, you'll see that it's waiting for hdmi input (unless that's provided already). To test it, I plugged it into the HDMI Port of my Desktop Windows PC from across the room, and in an instant the 1920x1080 display was displayed on my TV Across the room, the display was clear and updated instantly. One thing worth noting, it says right on the box that 1080P is the highest level of video supported, I wasn't able to get 4K video out of it so if you were expecting that just set your expectations a little more realistically to what the product is. The product comes with IR Transmitter/receivers, which presumably provide a way to extend a remote control or that kind of thing (this might be useful for controlling volume from further away, for example), but I didn't see a need for them in my configuration. I can definitely see where I will find this product useful both at home and possibly for when traveling.

Dual "Fast Charging" Pad, Works Well
on September 2, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Belkin Boost Qi Wireless charging pad works probably better than I expected it to. Dropping the phone onto the charging pad, the charging started up right away on three separate Samsung S20/S20+/S20-Ultra phones. While I didn't have a problem with this, another family member dropped a phone on it without looking and didn't realize it wasn't lined up perfectly and it didn't start charging, maybe there is room for improvement in the design on that front. This is one of the first non-Samsung chargers I've used that makes the phone report "Fast Charging" (admittedly, not "Super Fast Charging" like the wired charger included with phone), and it reports fast charging for both phones being charged at the same time. If I had to complain, I would say the power supply (plug that goes in outlet) is too large (though I guess I understand why, but it would be better if they put the bulk of it further down the wire if that were possible), and the power cord is too short (remember, it's not like a USB cable you can just swap out with a longer one).

Being a middle age adult male, nose hair is a common thing I have to deal with. It feels like I buy 6 nose hair trimmers a year because they either fall apart or get rusty. This one feels like it might be a better quality trimmer on multiple levels. It comes with removable heads which are cleanable, and the heads appear to be more durable than some of the other heads on the cheaper trimmers I've purchased. Also, to keep everything together it's got a nice pouch for storage. How well does it work? Like I put in the headline, I can breathe through my nose again and that feeling Is AMAZING, it will probably lead to fewer headaches too. I used three of the functions of the device: nose hair trimming, ear trimming and eyebrow trimming. I had no need for the beard detailer without a beard. The nose trimmer I simply inserted in the nose and moved it around the edges and rotated a bit until I didn't hear any more hairs being ripped out. The ear trimmer seemed to do a good job, I could hear it zapping hairs as I moved it around my ear, I used the rotary cutter for that. And the eyebrow trimmer didn't cut a lot but it thinned it a little which was good. This Philips Norelco Nose Trimmer seems like an important piece of self-care equipment to have for a male.

Great Travel-Sized Coffee Pot
on August 1, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
This smaller sized 5-cup Mr. Coffee pot brews a decent cup of coffee, though flavor may depend on the coffee grinds you use and how strong you opt to make it (our general rule is one scoop is two cups). On opening the package, the pot was pretty much plug-in-and-ready-to-go just add water (for the initial clean cycle). We tried the timer, and without reading the instructions it was very intuitive how to set up and started right on time and brewed a hot pot of coffee. It seems to use standard coffee filters like our 12-cup pot (not the cone shaped ones). I'd say the coffee tasted at least as good (maybe better?) as our $100+ 12-cup coffee machine, but the advantage of this one is it is more portable and we can take it with us when we travel (I try to avoid using the coffee pots they provide in hotel rooms). Some of its standard features include: It has 2-hour auto shut off, and it will let you pull the pot out a short period to pour a cup before its done brewing. The basket which holds the coffee filter has little handles you can grab it with (just need to slide the arm which drips water out of the way, and back later), we were even able to lift it out while it was hot so we could empty it to prepare a second pot. I think I'm going to enjoy having this Mr. Coffee, and would recommend it.

The KitchenAid 7-Speed Hand Mixer came with an unexpected surprise which I didn't notice when I selected it: It was a cordless kitchen tool, which makes it very convenient especially combined with it being very light weight. It charges quickly, the manual says a 10 minute charge is enough to mix a single cake (or up to 2 hours for a "full" charge). Within an hour of opening the box, we decided to mix up some batter for waffles with it, and it worked out great. Just two controls, the power/speed slider, and the eject button. Because it is small, it stores away easy, and is also easy to clean up.

Nice Quality Sound, Good Bass, Long Battery Life
on June 8, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The SRS-XB43 was easy to set up, 30 seconds after taking it out of the box it was playing music thanks to NFC. The sound quality on this speaker quite nice -- music sounds great, truly has extra bass, the sound is not 'tinny' like a prior Sony Bluetooth speaker had been, which restored my faith in the Sony brand of speakers. The lighting effect were pretty cool both on sides (color) and the speakers (white). The music center app detected the speaker right away, no re-pairing of bluetooth was required, at least on my Android phone. The battery life I'm sure varies depending on things like volume and light usage, but even getting close to 24 hours means I can charge it once and use it all day without thinking about the charge. As per it being waterproof, I am sitting here in my bathing suit, but I'm not inclined to throw the speaker in the pool for no particular reason. I can safely say this speaker is worth the purchase, we've been enjoying it in our back yard for a couple hours already.

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).

Great Sound from a Small Soundbar
on June 3, 2020
Posted by: RobWLINY2
from Levittown, NY
The Bose TV Speaker provides amazing sound for such a small size sound bar. I connected it by optical cable and had sound coming from it and my built-in tv speaker (for comparison) at the same time and what I noticed is there were sounds coming from the Bose TV Speaker that seemed to be missing in the audio output of the TV's built-in speaker. The Bose speaker sound was clear and the audio sounded great. While it does not include a subwoofer in the box, the bass sound the speaker provides is pretty impressive for what it is. I was watching a music performance on a premium cable channel using the speaker and was totally drawn into it with this speaker.
The speaker itself didn't seem to require any special setup (easy) to get up and running, it was just a matter of plugging in the right cables and it was ready to go out-of-the-box. This may seem like a small thing, but this Bose TV Speaker also powers on and off quicker than other Sound bars that I have owned in the past, which is something I appreciate. I want to note that there was not an HDMI Pass-Thru (in/out), which means if I use HDMI ARC I lose an HDMI port on the TV.
