Nyboer Keyless Entry Door Lock

This door lock is nice, sleek, and looks great on my front door. I like that it has multiple ways to lock and unlock it and the keyhole for this is hidden very well you wouldn’t know where it is just by looking at it. This is making it very easy now to open and enter from the front of my house now. The wife no longer has to ring the doorbell and wait for me to unlock the door when she is working out front and needs to come in the house. I do wish it worked out of the box with Alexa and I didn’t have to buy the extra bridge for it, but maybe down the road, I will get that as well. I did have to drill the one top hole, but other than that, it was a pretty straightforward install and very easy to set up and get working. Just need to make sure your deadbolt isn’t really tight and hard to turn and this works perfectly.

iporachx Portable Bluetooth IPX7 Speaker with Subwoofer

I had a speaker like this before, but it wasn’t waterproof, and it fell off my golf cart at some point during my golf round and it was lost forever. I liked it so much I had to get this one that looks like it but with upgrades. Just being waterproof makes sit worth it to me. The suction cup on the batter is great and hopefully stays on my next golf cart better than my last speaker. This is easy to use, has big easy to push buttons on top, and sounds great for a small speaker. Sounds really loud on the golf course that I have to turn it down not to bother people sometimes. After the first time of connecting it to my phone, it auto connects now when I turn it on, makes for easy and fast playing when I need it.

SEINECA 12V Car Air Horn

This is a fun little horn. It is a little high pitched and not quit the train horn I was hoping for, but way louder than my stock horn on my car and a lot more fun when used. It came with everything I needed to mount it and connect it and was a straightforward install with not replacing my stock horn with this one and running it side by side using its own button. You do need to make sure you mount this right, so nothing gets in the horns and that it stays dry and clean under the hood.

TUKOTV Indoor TV Antenna, with Built-in Amplifier, Premium Coax Cable, Support 4K 1080 Fire TV Stick and All TV

I finally cut the cord and got rid of cable and that $200 bill. I bought a digital TV box but the antenna I had for it is only a 30-mile antenna and has a long cord with a square flat antenna and only gets me 12 channels and those keep coming and going. This one is a nice-looking amplified antenna that plugs in for power and reaches 120 miles out and jumped my number of channels to 48 and those all come in stable, without lag, and without coming and going. This one is easily the best TV antenna I have owned.

Hadisala H2 Portable Wireless Speaker

This Bluetooth speaker is perfect for what I wanted it for. Seen other people in the pool with theirs while on vacation and mine sitting on a table because it can’t get wet. Well not anymore. This speaker is the size of my hand, so small, light, and portable, but waterproof and has a great sound. Not sound that will rock the pool, but more than enough for the wife and I to listen to while sitting in the pool all week relaxing. The buttons on it are big and easy to find and push when needed and it is very easy to connect to and get working. It does take a couple of hours to charge it but lasts way longer than I have ever needed it for.

ARCBLD Multifunction Emergency Solar Hand Crank Radio with 4000mAh-Power Bank USB Charger

For one hour or a full week without power, I think this little portable weather radio will work and help get you thru the long days and nights. The rechargeable battery lasts for a while as long as you don’t have everything running at the same time or are charging lots of other devices off this battery. The LED lights on this are bright and give more than enough light off. The radio stations come in great and the handle crank and solar charging are an added bonus and will keep this running if it gets to the point I need to use them.

Victure AC1200 Wi-Fi Router

Victure makes great electronics and since I was adding a WiFi extender on to my home network from them, I might as well upgrade my router from them as well. For the price and the good reviews this has, and I know how they make their products, I thought I would give this a try.

With any AC1200 router you get dual-band WiFi with 2.4 & 5 GHz bands and this is no exception. This was easy to install with the webpage settings as it walks you thru the setup and both WiFi bands connect and haven’t dropped, and the speed is what to be expected.

I am not sure if this helped get my signal higher upstairs or not, but it sure didn’t hurt adding a new dual-band router to my house. This also has 4 Lan ports on the back so you can plug in your devices if needed as well.

Victure 1200Mbps WiFi Booster

Finally cut the cord and got rid of cable, but my 100-year-old house and plaster walls make it tough to get a great signal upstairs, so I bought this. This has dual bands with 2.4 & 5.0 GHz which is nice. With WPS, this could be a one-button push to connect and get up and running. Couldn’t be any easier. But I am using it as an access point on my network connected with an ethernet cable and there is a little more set up involved with that, but still easier than it has been in the past with other extenders I have tried.

This is a small device with two antennas and if you put it in the bottom plug, will leave the top plug open so you can use it. My WiFi on my TV now shows it has a very good signal and there is no more lag or dropping in my shows that I am streaming. I have gained more than 50 Mbps in my download speed with this extender and am very happy with it and the results I have gotten with it.

Adjustable Ergonomic Laptop Stand by LJ Exclusives

The stand comes in handy. I use a laptop and iPad for work and having this hold my iPad, while I am working, is wonderful. I can adjust this to just the right angle, that seeing and working on it is a breeze and easier than when it was laying on the table and having to pick it up. I can also swap it out and put my laptop on it when I need too, and it helps keep it running cool getting off the table. This seems a little hard to move, but it does keep the stand where you put it when you adjust it. The mouse pad is a nice bonus and works great. I was wearing a spot on my kitchen table where I use my mouse and now, I am not. It also has helped the mouse move better and smoother as well.

NewWay Monitor Lampe for Laptop Desktop

Wasn’t sure when I bought this if it was what I wanted, but now that I have it and set up on my monitor, I love this lamp. It’s about 16 inches long, easy to install and operate. With a touch switch on top, you can turn this on/off and pick your brightness, from a warm yellow to bright daylight with modes of 3000k, 4000k, and 6500k. The light itself adjusts up and down 180 degrees, so you can always get the right angle that you need. This light’s up my 29” monitor with no glare and the desktop, so I can easily see my mouse and keyboard without any other lights on in the house. Just plugs into your USB on your PC/Laptop or if needed can be used in a power bank or hub. Also works with a USB extension cable if needed, as the power cord is only about 16 inches long.

Soft Luxury Light Grey Bath Towel Set, 6 Piece

These towels are nice. Not as thick as they look in the photo, but none ever are, and they dry the water off you and don’t just smear it across your body like some others do. These are all cotton, with banding on one side and just work like a towel should. I like the light grey color as it goes well in my bathroom. The size of all these is actually bigger than I expected and a pleasant surprise.

Inphic Rechargeable Wireless Mouse Tri-Mode (Bluetooth 5.0/3.0+2.4ghz) with Ultra-Slim and Silent Click

Like everyone else working from home at this time, I needed a new mouse and this one is sweet with being able to connect to three different devices with three different types of connections. With Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 3.0, and the 2.4 Ghz WiFi using the dongle. You can’t connect and use all three at once or just swap on the fly, but you can push the button on the bottom of the mouse and switch to another device that you have hooked up, so almost the same. If you have it connected to three devices at the same time, how would it know which one it was controlling?

This mouse is on the smaller side, which I like, has easy to push buttons and scrolling wheel and moves without issue. You can adjust the DPI on it with 3 levels it has if you want as well.

I really like that it has a rechargeable battery built into it and I don’t have to have supply batteries anymore. This uses a micro USB charging cable (bet you have a 100 of them already) and does take about an hour to charge it and lasts forever. It does show a red LED by the scroll wheel while charging. It will also automatically shut off to save power when not in use, so you do need to click the mouse button to wake it up when you want to use it again.

SneKa Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds

I like these earbuds. Both the earbuds and case are on the smaller side and fit in my ears and in my pocket or laptop bag without issue. These are small enough I do struggle to get them out of the case and my ears a little, but they work and stay in my ears no matter what I am doing.

The sound is great with the highs not being tinny and the bass loud enough to hear and feel when needed. The voices and vocals are clean and crisp. I don’t normally use earbuds for phone calls but sometimes they just come when you are listening to music and I have no issues with these during a call. These do sound good at 100% volume, but my equalizer app will allow me to go higher and at that point these do start to get distorted, so don’t do that and they work great. I suggest everyone get an equalizer app to use. That way you can set the music to your liking based on what and how you like to listen to it. Don’t blame the equipment if you can fix it yourself.

They do only last for around 6 hours or less of continuous playing music depending on how high you have the volume, but with the case, you can just recharge (about 4 times before recharging the case) them and go on again. I just throw them in the case when I go to lunch at work, and I can continue listening to them the rest of the day until I get off work.

The button on these are nice, big, and easy to use and push to change volume, skip songs, answer the phone or turn on and off. You can also just use one earbud if you wish and they all turn on and pair up with my phone right after pulling them out of the case after the first pairing to my phone. They will also turn themselves off when you put them back in the case and close the lid. That is a really nice feature.

EACHINE EC09 Remote Control Car 1:20 Scale

Eachine makes great drones, helicopters, boats, and cars and this car is no exception. This is a decent size and build at 1:20 scale (9” L x 5” W x 4” H) but still light enough that it is very portable if needed. The wheels are big and soft, and the suspension works well enough that it will take a beating going thru and over stuff and keep ongoing.

This comes with four 18650 (800 mAh) batteries and it takes two to operate the car. Each set of batteries gets you around 20 minutes of run time depending on how you drive it. So, if you have both sets charged, you get about 35 minutes of playtime. The charger that comes with it is nice and works, but only charges 2 batteries at a time and they do take almost 3 hours to charge each set, so that is a long time. I have a bigger charger that I can charge all four at once and they take closer to two hours to charge all four in that. You will also need 2 AA batteries for the controller.

This car is surprisingly fast (about 2o mph) but easy enough to control that my grandson can operate it and get it around the driveway and yard without too much trouble. It also comes with some extra clips and parts in case you do crash it, so you can repair it yourself if needed.

The remote works and is easy to operate with a trigger for forward and reverse and a wheel for turning left or right. I do wish someone would come up with a different design, but it is tried and true and it does work as is.

EEIEER Face Mask Nose Mouth Cover Breathable Washable Reusable Cloth Covering with Extra 6 Filters and 2 Valves for Adult, Suitable for Outdoor Activities Painting Running 1 Pack

This is the best mask I have owned so far. Fits nice and snug but not too tight, love the strap that goes around the back and the extra filters that it comes with. It is made from a nice soft elastic material that makes it easy to wear and breathe in. I have bad allergies and its always hard to breath and with a mask on it makes it even harder, but with the vents on this one, I seem to have a little less hard of a time breathing with this mask on. The nose piece fits well and is adjustable and I can wash the outside mask when and if I need too and not worry about ruining it.

Fantaseal Portable Full Color RGB LED Video Light +Soft Box Set

I keep looking for a better light source for my photo booths we do for all the holidays and special occasions and this just might be it. All the others are external lighting and either too big, too bright, or just leave a funny shadow behind people, they just don’t work, and the built-in flash just washes the photos out.

This one fits on top of the camera in the hot shoe which keeps it out of the way and easy to access or on any tripod mount if needed. It is just a little wider than my camera at about 5.5 inches wide and 3 inches tall.

The light can be adjusted and can range between a warm crisp 3000k to a bright cool white daylight light at 6500k and anywhere in-between using the buttons on the back of this. They are easy to push and change on the fly as needed.

This does have a 4500 mAh rechargeable battery in it that does take a little over 2 hours to charge (faster if you have a better charger or wall adapter) and will last for a couple of hours of constant use at a lower light setting but on high you get about an hours’ worth of light. This light also doubles as a power bank and will also charge or run your devices if needed as well.

I find it easy to pack and load, easy to install, and use and I can adjust the lighting for each situation and setting I am in to find the right light for the time of day and space. Great little light to have.

QTQ Rechargeable Leg Massager with Heat

The Short story is the wife stands on concrete all day for work, has plantar fasciitis because of it. Has had her second surgery six months ago and her feet and calves are still swollen. Have tried everything from balls, to socks, to feet massagers and nothing is helping and saw this and with nothing else to lose thought she could try this as well.

First the wraps are very lightweight, adjustable, and fit my big calves and the remote is about as big (about 8 inches long) as the compression wraps you put on. There is a power cord from each wrap that plugs into the remote (can plug in only one if needed or both) and the remote is what you charge and not the wraps. It does take a good three hours to charge with a good charger or wall adapter but does come with a charging cable.

This is very easy to use as you just put the wraps on, plug into the remote, pick your intensity, if you want the heat or not, a sequential or holistic massage, and sit back and enjoy. It will timeout and shut off after 10 minutes. They don’t want you to burn yourself if you have the heat on and fall asleep with this turned on. The heat does heat up quick and gets hot on high soon after. If you get the wraps on tight enough, the compression is tight and nice, which helps in the massaging and heat part.

Like everything else the wife has tried, this seems to be helping and making her feet and legs feel better at night after work but we will have to see if this lasts and keeps working and getting better in the long run but for now, it is a thumbs up so far.

Since the wraps are adjustable, these will fit on other parts of your body if needed if they are under 20 inches round (arms, calves, feet, thighs, etc..). This is also small enough that it is very portable and easy to use anyplace you need or want to use it.

NewWay GaN 65W 3 Port PD QC 3.0 USB-C Quick Charger

This quick charger from NewWay is nice. Small, but powerful enough to charge my laptop @ 65w without the power supply is great. Always hate carrying that around with me when I travel. Love that is has two USB-C ports as I can charge my Samsung Galaxy 10 5G cell phone at the same time as my laptop and they both charge much faster now than they used to with my old 2.1v chargers. It’s also nice that the prongs on the plug fold in so they won’t get broke off in my laptop bag as I am lugging that around all day. The USB - A third port on this is also a bonus as it allows me to charge my tablet or my wife’s iPhone when needed as well without taking a spot for my other devices.

BUTURE 266Wh Solar Outdoor Generator

I have a 26000 mAh power station that I really like and use all the time but cost more than this one at 72000 mAh and has fewer features as well. So, when looking for a second one, I bought this one from Buture.

The LED screen on this is basic with only showing the remaining battery amount and what options or outlets you are using but more than just LED lights like my other one. The LED light on the other side is useful and bright if you need a light source and has three different light modes. The flash mode would work well on the side of the road or if you need help.

You do have to remember to turn the AC plugs on before using them with the button next to the LED screen and then remember to turn them off when not using them (to save power) and before recharging this power station. One thing I don’t like is you can not use the AC plugs while charging this back up since you need to turn them off to charge it.

If you use a 60w fast charge wall plug or the DC wall plug cable that comes with this, it does take a good 8 hours to recharge this from about totally empty. It is a long time, but you are recharging a 72000mAh worth of batteries that will last a very long time depending on what you are running. You can use a solar panel as well if you need or want to, but you must buy that separately and is not included. It works but does take longer to charge this depending on how many watts of a panel you buy.

With all the ports and the size of this, you can charge and operate a few things at once, but don’t push it over 300 watts (350 max) or it will shut down to protect itself and your devices. So it will do a TV, fan, laptop, and stuff like that but not an AC unit or large refrigerator.

RoverTac Pocket Knife

This is a smaller knife at just under 5 inches long and is smaller than it looks in the pictures which makes it much easier to carry and use than longer ones. I really like the look of the steel blade on this with its black textured look instead of a shiny stainless-steel look. The clip is nice for carrying it and the cord-cutter and glass breaker is just a bonus that may or may not ever get used. It also comes in a nice box to store it in if that is what you do. Both the blade and cord cutter are sharp, and I have had no issues cutting anything with either when testing them. This also has a side blade lock, so you do have to push that to the side before being able to close this blade. Good safety lock for the blade.

ANCEL FX3000 Automotive OBD II Scanner

Like most people that work on their own cars, I had other OBD scanners in the past and they all do a few things well but not everything for everyone’s needs and this one is the same. It does what it was made for and what it is programmed for. For the price, it is a very nice scanner and does a lot that others don’t, but it can’t cover every car, truck, and SUV on the market, so read up, do some research, and find the one for you and you vehicles. The ones that do it all, cost thousands of dollars.

This one has a very nice backlit four-inch screen with a rugged outer case with rubber around it, the handles, and the buttons. Using this is intuitive and easy to follow and figure out for the on all the basic info you may look up and use. Some of the more in-depth things you may need or want to look at may take a little reading of the manual (it’s only 20 pages long) beforehand but there are only four buttons that can be pushed, so it’s not that hard.

As most electronics that have firmware, the scanner software needs to be updated when you first get it, to make sure you have the latest updates for the manufactures of vehicles, you are working on (you can select the manufactures you want, I did all the ones in English and it took about 10 minutes). You need to create a a free account on their website, download the update software and install it, plug the scanner in using the USB cable to your PC and start the upgrade software. It will pull in the serial number and register code from the scanner. You just need to enter the email address you signed up for on the website and then select what vehicle manufactures you want, unplug the scanner from the PC, and pull the 16 GB SanDisk SD card (didn’t skimp on the card) from the scanner and put it in the reader they provide and plug that into your PC and hit upgrade and it will install the new software on the SD card. Once done, plug the SD card back into the scanner and turn it back on and you are good to go.

This comes with both a micro USB and Data Link cable for connecting it to your PC and vehicle. You can record your diagnoses that you run on the SD card and play it back later, on your PC if needed as well to make it a little easier to remember what you did.

GMCOZY Paper Towel Holder Under Cabinet Mount

Are you tired of your paper towel holder sitting on your kitchen counter in the way or just don’t have space for one? I am, so I bought this one. This can either be mounted using the adhesive pad or screwed into the wall or cabinet with the 2 screws that come with it. I used the adhesive pad as I didn’t want to put holes in my cabinet and it holds well and is the fastest and easiest way to install this.

This looks good, is out of the way, and easy to access and refill when needed. I now have paper towels when I need them, more workspace or room for something else if needed.

Sauce Dispenser Pump with Glass Bottle by GMSWEET

The bottle I use for my olive oil broke the cap off it and I can’t close it anymore and don’t like leaving it open sitting on the counter, so I bought this one. This is nicer, as this one has a pump where my old one was just a spout you poured from. This is the same size as my other one I have so it looks good sitting on the counter with it but this one comes with a non-slip base that fits on the bottom of the glass to stop it from sliding around on the counter.

I like that this has measurements running down the side and has a big mouth on it, so it is easy to refill when needed. This also comes with a sponge brush to help clean the inside of this if needed and comes apart easily to clean the pump as well. The top on my old one always felt oily and sticky from sitting around the stove, so this one should be easy to clean when I need to.

The pump itself works very well and is easy to push and get what I need out of it and nothing leaks so far.

Amaste Professional Countertop Blender

I have not tried the heating part of this, but everything else works perfectly and without issue. From frozen drinks to blending my protein pancake mix in this, it just works.

This is a big blender with the glass pitcher on top of it and doesn’t fit under my cabinets but fits fine either just to the side of one or in two pieces inside the cabinet. You do need to be a little careful with the glass pitcher as it doesn’t lock in place on the base and just sits there, so, I must watch the cats when I have it out.

I love how big the pitcher is at 64 ounces. I can get a lot more stuff in there that I couldn’t with my old one. I can blend all my protein pancake mix at once now instead of having to split it up. I also like having the presets if I need them or just the timer if I need that as well.

I have seen people complaining about cleaning this, but if you add some soap and water to the pitcher when you are done and turn it on, it cleans itself. Then you just have to rinse it out.

Speedefy AC2100 Smart WiFi Router

The ports on my old router stopped working and I needed something fast to replace it and went with this newer WIFI-5 AC1200 router that has MU-MIMO and a lot of antennas to help get a signal to all my rooms in my 100-year old has with plaster walls and it works great. I am using this one in AP mode because I just need the wireless from this router to go to my main router in the basement.

If you just need the basics and want to get up and running, this is one of the easiest and fastest router setups I have ever had. Plug everything in, turn it on, use the app and you are up and running in minutes.

There are allot of things you can do thru the app, but you should use your PC and use the browser menu to do some of the more special features if you need them. This has all your standard settings and features as most routers do today.

Turned on IPv6 and everything is working great and has not had any drops, lags, or issues so far on any of my devices and I have a lot of devices as I have my whole house set up as a smart house. From all the doors, all the lights, Firestick, Xbox, TV, Stereo receiver, tablets, and cell phones.

This is one drawback if you need more than 3 ethernet ports as this only has 3 on the back and no USB port. Not a problem for me as I have extra 8 port switches laying around that I can use if needed.

EACHINE E520S GPS Drone with 4K Camera for Adults

This drone really is great for beginners. With GPS, this just sits there and doesn’t fly away or drift like the drones that don’t have GPS, unless it is windy out, you didn’t calibrate it, or it doesn’t have a good lock on enough satellites. Also, for the beginners, this only goes about 900 feet away so you can’t get in too much trouble when flying it and not being able to see it but it does have one tough return to home if you do get in trouble.

The camera is nice at 4k but the camera itself cannot be moved up or down or by the controller during flight, so you are stuck with the angle that is built into it.

This does have all the standard features of most drone these days with follow me, waypoint mode, GPS mode, headless mode, orbit mode and, will also work with VR headset if you have one.

This does only come with 1 battery at 1200 mAh that takes about 2 hours to charge and lasts for about 15 minutes depending on how you fly, use the camera, and GPS. You will need 4 AAA batteries for the controller.

Love that this folds down to a smaller size but does wish this came with a carrying case to put it in and make it easier to travel with. The controller is nothing fancy but does work, but I also wish the phone holder was different and held my phone a little bit more securely.

Overall, a great drone that is fun to fly and works as is right out of the box.

Inphic Rechargeable Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Combo Set

If you don’t need a full-size keyboard and the number pad on the right, this keyboard is perfect for you. Being smaller, it makes for a great traveling keyboard or for use on the couch. Both the mouse and keyboard have a 400mAh rechargeable battery so you can always plug them in to charge and still use them if needed but last for about 3 months after being fully charged. They do have auto shut off after not being used for a few minutes and also have an on/off switch to manually turn them off if they won’t be used for a while.

These are both small, thin and, very compact but work great with easy buttons to push and no noise when you push them. They also threw in a silicone keyboard cover I didn’t know it came with. Nice tough there.

Both the mouse and keyboard work off the same WIFI dongle, so you save a USB port on your device and this works great on things like my TV, Firestick, and Android TV box.

OKX USB C Docking Station

Started working from home like everyone else but rotating every two weeks and this the docking station makes it so easy to be able to swap my work laptop in and out from all my attached devices with only one cable attaching it. One day I will actually, get a home office set up using this.

The docking station is smaller than you would think with being able to connect 16 devices to it and has some weight and a good feel to it, so it feels well-built and like you actually bought something worth something. All the ports are easy to see, read and use and once you have this setup, one C plug into your laptop and you are good to go.

I am using two monitors and my laptop screen, keyboard, mouse, headphones, ethernet cable, along with being able to charge my phone and laptop while I am sitting there and I still have a lot more room for more devices if I need them.

The gigabit ethernet port works perfect and I get the full use of my gigabit ethernet network I have set up at home.
