CHOOBY 4-In-1 Knife Sharpener

 

I’ve been wanted something to sharpen my serrated knives (bread knife & steak knives) and gave this a try and it does work on a serrated knife. This also works great on all my other knives and scissors as well.

 My old sharpener had two slots for coarse and fine sharpening and worked great for the last couple of years but is getting worn out, didn’t do serrated knives, and I needed a replacement.

 This is simple to change to the four different slots to use, hold on to while using it, and sharpen any knife I have. I have a very nice set of knives for my kitchen and I like to keep them as sharp as possible and this is doing a great job so far. I always hand wash and dry all my knives right after using any of them, so they should last a long time.

 The rubber on the handle and bottom of this also help you hold on to it and stop it from slipping or sliding across the counter as you sharpen the knife. The included cut the resistant glove is nice and should help if you do slip and drag the knife across your hand, while you are doing this or could be anytime you are using a knife in general?

 My bread and tomatoes no longer get pressed down or squashed when I go to cut them my steak and chicken are like cutting butter and effortless. A sharp knife does make a very big difference.

HSPRO HW1 Wireless TV Headphones

 

This work perfect and just what I needed to keep the TV sounds running up the steps and keeping the wife up. I can now have it as loud as I want or need to hear the TV now.

 These were easy enough to set up with just plugging in the RCA plugs and power cable. Plugging it into the RCA ports will allow me to use my speakers during the day and these headphones at night without having to unplug the headphones when I want to use the speakers or I can use both at the same time if needed. If you plug it into the 3.5mm port, you will have to unplug the 3.5mm cable first to use the speakers.

 Does take a a couple of hours to fully charge the headset to start with, but once done, they last the whole week before I need to put them back on the base and charge again.

 The headset themselves fit snug, comfortable, and stop most outside noise. The ear and head cushions are soft and don’t hurt to wear for hours at a time if needed.

 The sound isn’t 7.1 surround sound like my surround sound set up, but still sound great and work well for watching TV for a few hours a night.

 The 3.5mm cable is a little on the short side at about 8 inches, so you may need to buy a longer one or an extension cable to reach where you need this to plug into.

RUNACC Cordless Fan Battery Powered - Floor Fan with 1000 Lumens LED Work Light

 

April showers are coming which means my 100-year old basement will be leaking again and I need something that can help dry it out and run without electricity if needed if the power goes out and this fan is perfect for that.

 This fan has everything I need. The outside is all plastic, so it can take a beating and sitting in the water and still work. It can run on battery for up to 15 hours at a low speed. It has a three-level brightness LED light on it in case I need light when the power goes out and will recharge my phone or another device if needed as well. It can be flipped and rotated and blow 360 degrees and has stepless fan speed. What’s not to like?

 This does work both plugged in or via battery and actually works great both ways. This will also work great outside on the deck on those hot summer days with no power cable to trip overlaying across the deck.

 It not that big at 14”x11”x10”, which is great for storage and being out of the way while using it, but for a smaller fan, it still puts out some wind at 3500 CFM.

EasySMX Wireless Gaming Headset

 

The first thing you notice when taking them out of the box is how heavy they feel. I thought this might be an issue, but after wearing them for a few hours of playing on my Xbox Series X, they don’t feel any different than any other headset I have used. They fit nice and snug (don’t hear much outside noise), have soft cushioned ear, and headpieces and feel great.

 These only work on the Xbox Series X using the 3.5mm audio cable plugged into the controller and don’t work wirelessly plugged into the USB port on the Xbox using the transmitter. That was the part I really wanted to use and bought these for. But to be fair, they said they worked with the Xbox One being plugged in and didn’t say anything about the Series X in the description, so I will just use them wirelessly on my PC instead for work and my meetings I have?  

 The sound is wonderful, and I hear every footstep and fly buzzing in COD. The volume and LED light adjustments are easy enough with big knobs on the outside of the earpieces. There is also a game and music mode that you can switch between and a mute button for the microphone. These two buttons are a little hard to find just feeling for them, but not too bad and do work as described and there is a difference in the modes that you can hear, so it does do something to the audio output for you between the two.

 The microphone does just move up and down and doesn’t bend or mold towards your mouth, but no one seems to have a problem hearing me when I speak and they say I sound clear.

RUNACC Battery Operated Floor Fan

 

I said it once and I will say it again, you can never have too many fans and this is another you should have. This works great inside and outside and is small enough (12”x10”x13”) to carry and use about any place, but big enough it puts out enough air and is still very quiet doing it.

 I love that it doesn’t have high. Medium or low fan speeds and that can just be adjusted to any level you want with step-less speed control. The LED light on the front is nice on those occasions you might need a light and does have high medium, and low brightness.    

 This has a very big rechargeable battery on it that does take a long time to charge, at around four hours if fully depleted, but can go a little faster if you have something like a 65-watt high-speed wall adapter that you can use. The good thing about having a big battery is it will last 15 hours on the lowest fan speed or even around four hours on the highest speed. You can also use the USB plug on the back as a power bank, to recharge another device if needed, however, this will also reduce how long the fan will last as well. There are four LED battery level indicators on this as well, so you know how much battery you have left at all times.

 They also include a bracket with a hook to go on the legs of the fan, so if you want or need to hang it, say from a tree or awning, you can. The fan itself can be rotated 360 degrees and can be tightened in place with the knobs on each side of the fan so you should be able to point this anyplace you need.

Solar Post Lights by Henre

 

These are great post lights. They are all plastic (ABS), so they are light, weatherproof, and easy to install. I did install these on my metal posts and had to drill a couple of holes in them to put the screws in to hold these in place, but only took a few minutes of minutes. If you have wood posts, these would be a breeze to install with the included hardware. They do need a full day to fully charge but look great and bright after that and help light up my 10-foot wide steps leading down to my hot tub. They also include two plates to attach these to if you want or need to install these on a wider post or some other flat surface instead of a post.

SKYWAY Video Camera Smart Glasses

 

These are cool sunglasses. First, they are real sunglasses and come with three pairs of lenses that all look and work great and are interchangeable. Second, it comes with a carrying case and lens cleaning clothe, and third, you can catch some great times and videos with them as no one knows they have a camera built into them.

 You do need to buy an SD card for it as it is not included. It will take up to a 32GB card. The button is easy to feel for on the earpiece and to push to turn it on/off and to take photos/videos.

 The 235 mAh the battery is a decent size for these as it doesn’t add much weight and feel heavy on the bridge of your nose as you wear them I have used these for my full 18 holes of golf and they felt the same as any other glasses I wear out there. This does take about an hour to fully charge and if you let it run nonstop, will take a video for just under two hours.  

 These do take the video in 1080p, so the resolution of the videos and photos look great. If you get a better SD card (fast) the camera can record faster and keep up with more or faster head turns you may have. I would recommend a class 10 SD card.

 Once done, plug this into your PC with the included micro USB cable and pull the video/photos off like you would any other flash drive. You could also pull the SD card out of the glasses and insert that into a card reader and do the same thing.

X-Sense Wi-Fi Smoke Detector (XZ01-WT)

 

This was just another step of automating my 100-year-old house. This is smaller than normal smoke detectors, so it is a little less noticeable on the ceiling. It was just as easy to install as any other detector with just two screws holding it in place. Just remember to remove the plastic piece inside to let the batter make contact and work before installing it.

 I already have and use the Smart Life app for most of my other devices on my Android Galaxy S19 5G, so adding and setting this up was no big deal and only took a couple of minutes. Once you have it connected to the app, you can control and change everything you need without having to get a stool or ladder out to reach it again. The test button on the side works well, sends a notifier to your phone, and the alarm sound is loud (like a lawnmower, window air conditioner) and annoying as all the other detectors I have.    

 On android, you can add exceptions to “Do Not Disturb” if you have it turned on, just make sure you have your volume up loud enough on your phone that you will hear it.

PONNOR Money Counter Machine

 

I like this bill counter. It has more options than I need, but I have them if I decide later, I need them. You must love having many options. This is very easy to use and set up and counts way faster and accurate than the old machine I got from a friend. I like that you can count all together or in batches and still total altogether. That makes it’s so much easier to bundle and wrap each batch to take to the bank. A vending company is an all-cash business and it is very time-consuming to count money before going to the bank to deposit it each day. This cuts that time way down.

LENRUE Computer Speaker

 

I just wanted something small, out of the way, and unnoticed sitting under my monitor and this works perfectly. It was easy to set up and get working (I wired it in), connects, and works every time I am on my computer. I just wanted something that would play the sounds when you surf the internet or get something from someone, and this does that. The volume and other buttons on top are easy to access and push/turn and work well. You can use the Bluetooth and rechargeable battery and connect to this as well if you want to take it with you and use it as a Bluetooth speaker.  I like having multiple functions and options.

KAMDHENU 5.3 Ft. Trampoline for Kid

 

This is a perfect size for little kids. I looked at the big ones, but they are just too big and take up too much space. This one fits in my living room if I want it there or is easy enough to move outside on a nice day. It was easy to put together (springs take a little bit to install) and is well built. The frame and springs are thick and well-made, and the padding is nice and soft. I have no problem letting my 3-year old grandson play in this with the netting around this to stop him from falling out. I love that he can play and play and just wear himself out. He has a blowup bouncy house, but this is just smaller and easier to deal with when he wants to jump and play.

RGB LED Dimmable Room Lamp with Remote Control by Cinolink

 

This is a fun and cool corner lamp. It is basically a LED strip light inside a metal pole on a stand, but it works and is cool to play with. With all the different color combinations, patterns, and modes, you can just keep clicking and come up with something different every time. Its simple but a great idea and works great lighting up a corner of a room with some ambient lighting. It took a couple of minutes to put together and is light and easy to carry and move if needed. Works great, you should get it.

Xgody J727F 7-inch Touchscreen GPS Navigation

 

Bought this instead of spending twice as much to update the map on my car navigation and this one has a lifetime map update.

 To start with, the map is already updated to 2021, so you have all the streets already and speed and red-light camera warnings to boot. The seven-inch screen is the same size as in my car, so plenty big enough, easy to see and read, and the touch screen works well and is easy to touch and mauver thru the different options.

 The mount does work better on the glass than the dashboard unless your dash is flat and smooth and not textured like mine is. I really like the sunshade that comes with this as well. It really helps you see the screen on a bright and sunny day.

 The voice commands are as good and accurate as anything else I have used in the past but this will give you a little more detail if you want like speed zone changes and school zones if you want it.

Rechargeable 90000 Spotlight-Flashlight by Bercol

 

 

This is a nice and bright spotlight. Is it 90k lumens, I am not sure, but it shines very far and lights up everything I need it to and as far as I can see with it? It is very light, and the button is easy to push and change between the four modes when needed. It does have an 8k mAh rechargeable battery in it, so it does take about 4 hours to fully charge it and lasts for almost 4 hours when using the high beam the whole time. It will last longer if you lower it down to the medium or low beam. The tripos is nice to have and may get used at times and is convenient if you have them attached. You could also put this on a full tripod if you need it as well. It will take the water and weather as long as it's not submerged but it could break if you drop this from too far up onto something hard as it is all plastic and the lens cover is pretty thin. The battery indicator and is to use this as a power bank when needed is an added bonus.

My daughter never played with dolls, but my granddaughter sure does. This is the perfect size for her even though she is a little young for it. The head and hands are hard plastic but everything else is soft and plush and feels nice. Her eyes do open and closed when she is laid down or picked up, her head turns all the way around, her hair feels soft and real, and she will play music when you're squeezing her stomach where the soundbox is. Make sure you pull out the tab on the soundbox before using it or it doesn’t work. Nice realistic baby doll.

LITTLELOGIQ Long Range Walkie Talkies for Kids (3 pack)

 These are nice and very cool to play with. The colors and build are good, but the reception, distance, and sound are awesome. I tested this by driving a mile away in my medium-sized Midwest city and I was able to reach and talk to the people on the other walkie-talkies. I am using these with a 3-year old grandson, so I do have to set the channel the same on all three beforehand, but he has no issue pressing the talk button and using these. I don’t need the range, but it is there if I decide to take them and use them someplace else.

 These do come with a belt clip and a break-away lanyard if you want to use them. These do take three AA batteries each, so you need nine batteries to start with. They do go into a sleep mode if not used for 5 seconds as well to save the batteries. I like to use rechargeable batteries for devices like these.

VINEY Deluxe 11 ft. Aluminum Cantilever Umbrella (Beige)

 

First off, they show two different umbrellas and two different stands in the pictures on the website. The 11 foot that I bought is the round one and the X type feet on it. This is just the feet and doesn’t come with any weights to hold it down and in place. You can buy a weighted base, weights, or secure it to the ground to stop it from falling over when used. For the price, I would have thought it would have come with one.  

 This only took minutes to put together and get up and usable. There are six bolts to screw in and you are done. Couldn’t be any easier to set up. You may need help picking the umbrella up itself to set it in the base, but I was able to do it by myself with a little struggle as it is a little top-heavy.  

 At 11 foot, this is a big umbrella and covers a lot of space under it, but is easy to lift up and crank the handles to open/close it (7 feet tall) or to swing it around in to a place where you need it (360 degrees if needed). It only took a few minutes to get it all set up and together out of the box.

 Both the metal frame, poles, and the umbrella itself all look and feel well made and look like they should take some wind and last. But like any umbrella, you do need to be careful in high wind and take this down when needed.

 I got the Beige color umbrella and it looks great and goes well with my brown Trex deck with my black Trex patio furniture. It is so nice to get shade and covered without a pole in the way when you are trying to look or talk to people.

Professional Studio Realtime Monitor Mini Shotgun Video Microphone by Fantaseal

 

It may not be the prettiest microphone out there with the red wired stand, but it is very versatile and can be used on a wide range of devices. It works on anything that has a 3.5mm mic port and comes off the stand if you need to hold it, use it without the stand or hot shoe connection, or need to put it on a tripod. It has a rechargeable battery that makes it very portable and easy to work within many applications. Has a power switch so you can turn it off when not being used to conserve that battery and comes with a windscreen and wind muff that helps filter out the wind to make your recordings better.

2021 CASECUBE White Noise Machine

 

After one night in a hotel room with my 2-year old grandson and him not sleeping, I bought this. This not only has white noise but also lights and between the two, make a difference in his sleeping.

 With being under 4 inches around, it is small enough to fit in my suitcase with no issues but still loud enough that you only hear this over most everything else. It is easy enough to operate with all the buttons right on top. With 24 sounds, 7 colors, and 5 light brightness, there is something for everyone that will work to put you to sleep.

 It also has a rechargeable battery that lasts almost one full day when fully charged. It also comes with a USB-C charging cable that can be plugged into any USB port, power bank, or wall adapter to charge it or kept plugged in and ran off the AC power.

 The sounds are clear, crisp, and sound real enough to me and work great to relax you and cover up any outside noises.

AUTO-VOX Solar Wireless Backup Camera

 

Finally, something that installs in a few minutes doesn’t require running cables, and splicing wires into the reverse lights, and just works.

 The hardest part of installing this may be getting your rusty license plate bolts out. Unscrew your plate, slide it into this bracket, screw it back to your vehicle, plug the monitory into your power outlet and it just connects and works. There is a button on top of the plug to turn it on and when you need it since it isn’t wired into your reverse lights.

 The video isn’t 4k, but it is more than enough to see everything you need to see and comes with the lines and colors to help you judge the distance from something. You may have to play with adjusting the camera on it to get the best angle, but it just moves up and down and is easy enough to do.

 The 5-inch screen is big enough to see everything easily, but not too big it is in the way of driving. Also, easy enough to see in both the day and nighttime. You do need to stick this on something smooth (like glass) for it to make a great connection and get the suction it needs to stay in place.   

 The power cord is long enough you should be able to wrap it around your windshield and hide it along with the dash and molding and still, reach your power outlet.

Beelink GTI Mini PC (Intel i5-8259U 4-Core, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVME SSD)

 For the price, you could buy a full desktop with better specs, but due to space limitations, I wanted something I could mount on the back of my monitor and basically have an all-in-one PC that I can easily upgrade if I wanted to and is portable. I have an older mini PC, but this one blows it out of the water with the specs this comes with.   

 With a clock speed of 2.30 GHz, there are only a couple of i5 processors that are faster then this one in this series and with 8 GB of ram, it has more than enough to do everything I am doing. It has no issues processing and creating my videos, playing some games, browsing the web, and using some office products.  

 This has all the ports I need and support dual monitors if I need them. They include both an HDMI and DP cable to get you started as well.  It has four USB 3.0 ports, but also two USB-2.0 for your devices that don’t need something faster like your mouse and keyboard.

 Love that is comes with a USB-C port as that works as another monitor port for my portable mini monitor when I need to be on the go. So, you could have 3 monitors going at the same time if needed.

 It also comes with WIFI 6, so I finally have something besides my phone that can take advantage of my new WIFI 6 router and this WIFI is way faster than WIFI 5.

 As a bonus, it comes with a fingerprint scanner that you can set up and use to log into this and stop other people from accessing it. Works great when I am traveling and I use it just in case.

300W DJ Wireless Speakers with Lights by AVAH (AVAH-D12)

 

Say hello to the new 21-century boom box on wheels. This thing is a blast and loud. It is almost two-foot-tall and half of that is the 12-inch subwoofer. What’s not to like?

 This is a Bluetooth speaker on steroids and all the extras. With 8 color LED lights on the front, a remote control, 3 mic’s (1 wired, 2 wireless), USB port for playing music or charging another device, SD card slot, AUX port (cable included), FM radio, controls for (treble, bass, echo, mixer), the microphone volume can be adjusted separately, LED lights on/off, next/previous track.

 This does come with a telescope handle and wheels on the bottom so you can pull this along with you as you are walking, but you do need to be a little careful because the wheels aren’t that big and made to go off-roading.

 With the included microphones, you can use this for Karaoke or as a PA speaker as well if needed. The 4800 mAh battery does take a long time (about 4 hours) to fully charge (using the included power cable) and you get almost 6 hours of continuous wireless playtime depending on how high you keep the volume. You could keep it plugged in and play it all day long if needed as well.   

 At 300w, this thing can get load and crank some music out or your voice if you want. The sound coming out of this sounds great with the highs being clear and the bass being bouncy enough I can feel it and there is no cracking or static when turned way up. The FM radio works but depends on your area what channels will tune in and how they sound like any radio but the Bluetooth connects, sounds perfect, and auto connects now when I turn it on after the first time of connecting to it.

They always say if you have the rights tools it is much easier to do what you are doing, and it’s true. This kit has everything you need to remove the old caulk and put new back down and look way better than I ever did it before me. It does take a little practice to get better at it, but it isn’t that hard. With the different scrappers, covers, and smoothers, there is a size for everything you may need it for. The 5 in 1 caulking tool is mainly ABS with a metal scraper (for pushing and pulling) on the one end and a plastic one on the other with a place for the smoothing covers to use to finish if needed.

 

There is a ton of different size tubes that you tape to your caulk gun to get the right size bead out if for any size job. There is a plastic scraper/cutter to help remove the old caulk and three other plastic finishing tools that have different shapes and sized ends on them to fit in about any corner or groove you have that you need to smooth out and finish. That may be the hard part. Trying to figure out which tool to use when. YouTube is your friend, as there are plenty of how-tos videos out there that walk you thru it if needed.     

 They also give you a plastic carrying/storage case to keep it all in when you are not using it so everything doesn’t get spread around and lost.

JURSTON Popper Guns Toy Set with Standing Shooting Target

 This is a cool and fun little toy gun set that my grandson can load and shoot himself and practice aiming and hitting the target. It’s a fun game and competition within the family and another great way to spend time with him. I think he likes this way better than the nerf dart guns that he can’t load himself yet. The foam balls are way safer and don’t go as far, so I feel safer taking this and playing with it in public places with other people around.

Face-Human Body Auto Tracking Phone Holder by Joytrip

 It’s hard to enjoy a gathering, play, or party and record what is going on at the same time. I miss half of what is going on because I am worried about recording it and making sure they are in the frame and everything else. Well, not anymore. This is great and a set and forget about it kind of thing. I love that it doesn’t require an app to operate and just works on its own.

 It has 2200 mAh rechargeable battery and does take almost 3 hours to fully charge it and lasted for way longer than the party did use it on and off again.

 The bottom of the stand also comes off of it and there is a quarter-inch screw hole on the bottom that can be used to put this on a tripod if wanted as well.  

 You do have to manually set up your phone on this, adjust the angle, turn it the way you want, and start your camera app, but once it is set, push and hold the start button on this and it just works and follows the person it was pointed at when you turned it on.

ECPN WiFi 6 Router AX1800 Smart Home WiFi Router

 I am amazed how easy and fast this router is to set up and get working. Router setup has come a long way over the years. Plug the router in, connect to its WiFi, answer a few questions and you are up and running. Just Amazing.

 There aren’t a lot of devices that have Wifi 6 (802.11AX) out yet, but I am ready when they do. My Galaxy S10 5G supports Wifi 6 and I am loving the speed on that. It is four times faster than the 802.11AC Wifi. The connection, strength, and distance of this Wifi are way better as well. I have no issues connecting in or around my house that has all plaster walls.

 I am using this as an access point in AP mode, but I do have my main PC wired into the gigabit ethernet port on the back of this and it works just as fast as it ever has and I get speeds of about 220 Mbps second on my 200 Mbps service.  

 Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that is in the market for an upgrade and moving to the 21 century.
