True Wireless bluetooth earphone Earbuds with Charging Case by Lakey (black) Review

The Lakey wireless ear buds are great. My first true wireless earbuds with no wires in between the two earbuds. It’s a pretty sweet feeling.

What I like:

- Small, lightweight and very portable

- No wires on the ear buds, only a small one for the charging box

- Can use one (mono) or both earbuds (stereo), work independent

- Over 4 hours of music or phone calls (built-in mic)

- Clear and crisp sound, even at high volume

- Has a magnetic conductive charging box to charge these in

- Comfortable and fit well in my ears without falling out

- Simple, easy and no problem connecting or staying connected to my devices

- Others like these are all most four times the price and don’t work as well

The volume is right on the edge of you may want it a little higher on some songs and on others you may need to turn it down. With an equalizer app on your phone to boost the sound and tweak the bass and treble when needed, these work and sound perfect. Let the wife listen to these and her first remark was to turn it down, so loud enough I guess.

Overall, really nice true wireless earbuds that just work. The technology and pricing have gotten so much better these days. These are worth checking out. I paid double this for my last Bluetooth head set and they had wires and didn’t sound as nice as these. #ad

TV Wall Mount Bracket Full Motion Dual Articulating Arm for most 37-70 Inch Tv by Perlegear

Size: 37-70 inch TV Mount

The Perlegear TV wall mount is awesome. The full motion on this is excellent and just what I needed for the TV in the bedroom. The wife couldn’t be any happier.

This is a heavy bracket and you need to make sure you get this screwed into a couple of wall studs to make sure it and the TV don’t come crashing down anytime soon.

This has plenty of spacing on it to be able to move it to hang it on the studs and the TV brackets fit most TV holes on the back of the TV.

This is a heavy, well-built wall mount that comes with everything you need to put this up and use it. It has all the bracket, bolts, Allen wrench, level and instructions in English that are needed to mount this to the wall and get it level while you do it. It also has what I call a bonus compared to other, this also comes with an HDMI cable and cable ties to make everything look pretty when you are done.

This fit perfect on the back of my 42-inch Plasma TV and holds it up and moves with no problems. This is only rated for TV’s that weigh less than 100 pounds, so check you TV weight before buying this. My plasma TV is way heavier than a LED or LCD TV and this holds it just fine for now anyway.

Overall, for the price, this works very well and moves about any way you will need it.

Semlos 64 Bit Magnetic Driver Kit

What can I say, it’s a really cool colored blue ¼ inch chuck screwdriver bit holder with 64 bits. If this doesn’t have the bit you need, I don’t know what you have? This comes in a very nice carrying/storage case to hold everything in and is also magnetic, so everything stays in place when being thrown around and transported.

The handle is made from a single piece of aluminum and covered with silica gel (The rubber found on most tools these days) and very well built. The head of this screws off, has a rubber seal and is magnetized and will snap back to the rest of the bit holder if it gets close enough to it. Great way to help hold your screwdriver bits in place when using it or use it as a magnet to pick up lost screws down inside something.

The inside of this has a hex shank locking system so your bits won’t slide or turn while using them and will stay in place and not fall out either and works with any quick change ¼ inch chuck system.

This is just over six inches long so not real big that it takes up a lot of room and makes it hard to work with in small and tight spots. Also comes with a flex extension that is about 6 inches long as well. This is very cool and will make that hard to reach places easier to work with or to get in tight places and retrieve lost screws when needed

This actually works pretty well with my ¼ inch socket set as well and gives me a little more length if needed. Love that they also give you a little cheat sheet with all the shapes and sizes for all the bits that are included in this kit.

Overall, this is a very nice, well-built and nice looking bit holder and would do anyone proud that would have it in your tool box. For what you get for the price, this is well worth it. #ad

ELEGIANT USB Powered Sound Bar for Computer Desktop Laptop PC, Black Review

I was pleasantly surprised as for how well the Muses sound bar from Elegiant actually performs and sounds. I have another smaller soundbar that was given to me for my laptop and it isn’t very good and sounds cheap and tin-canny. So this sound bar sounds like a very well-built high-end speaker.

This is about 16 inches long by about 2.5 inches square, so not real big or small but very light-weight and easily portable if needed. The black and silver of this also look very nice.

The one end has a knob on that controls the on/off and the volume of this speaker. Has the USB, audio and mic wires running out of the back of it that plug in and connect to your device that you are using this with. Very easy to setup and use and with no software to install.

The sound can get pretty loud is needed and sounds pretty crisp and clear and doesn’t crack at max volume. The bass may lack a little, but if you have an equalizer app or software, you can adjust this and make this sound way better.

This is powered by USB and needs a USB port to power it so you could use your wall plug for your cell phone, USB in your vehicle, USB on your TV or any other place you have a USB port.

The standard 3.5mm audio jack on this can plug into anything that has a 3.5mm port on it and can play music or audio from any of those devices.

Overall, A nice little sound bar with the really good sound that is pretty universal and can be used in most places when needed. #ad

Fantaseal Tri-Cup DSLR Camera Suction Mount w/Ball Head Review

The camera suction cup mount from Fantaseal is sweet and just what we needed to do so videos of some race cars my friend has. We were trying to use the GoPro mounts, but they didn’t hold or didn’t give the flexibility to do what we really wanted and needed, so I did some research and found this.

This thing is awesome, very flexible and allows us to film cars racing down the street from the car view. Either from the side or front window, the roof of the back trunk if need.

The three suction cups on this are very well made, lock down and in place very nicely with the locking arm on them and have no problems holding my action camera, camcorder or my D5200 DSLR camera going at a high rate of speed. They rate it at holding up to 30 kg. I have nothing even close to that, so no problem there.

I really like the ¼ inch ball head that turns 360 degrees as this allows us to change the camera angle pretty much in any direction and then lock it down in place without worrying about it moving or coming undone as we using it.

The GoPro adapter is a nice bonus, but I have like five already, so I will just add it to the pile of accessories I have.

Now with all that said, it does depend on how you use this and the angle you are trying to use. There isn’t a lot of room to move the head of this using a full-size DSLR camera, so you need to be more mounted straight up with the mount below or above as you can’t really move it too far or the head can’t quite hold it up all the time when sideways.

Using a GoPro or another action camera, you have the room to pretty much use this in any angle and still have room to move and adjust this and the ball lock will keep it in place and stop it from moving.

So, overall a very nice three suction cup camera mount that works as described and as I needed. Works better with smaller cameras like the GoPro or the newer lightweight camcorders, but still, works with a full-size DSLR camera under the right circumstances. #ad

LOTEKOO Wireless Lan Network Card Adapter Review

You can never have enough speed nowadays and this WIFI adapter from LOTEKOO is better than most, as this one will give you a top speed of 300 Mbps compared to most that only give you 150 Mbps on the 2.4Ghz range of WIFI. This isn’t a dual band adapter, so it doesn’t have 5 Ghz, but most people and devices at this time, don’t have it or can’t use it anyway, so why waste the money on having it.

This comes with a mini CD with the device drivers on it or you can go to "goo.gl/sh2k6v" to download it and install them if needed. Please install them before inserting this into your USB port on your device, unless you are running Windows 10. That should be plug-n-play.

This little dongle can add WIFI to a device that doesn’t have any or can replace or upgrade a broken or aged one with a much better and faster WIFI. This is also backwards compatible and will also work with the older WIFI for anyone still using them.

This is the size of a quarter, but does stick out from your device, so don’t leave it in there if you are moving or transporting it, as you may break it off.

This couldn’t be any easier to install and use and to get better WIFI. This works great for transferring files to my backup drives that I have attached to my home network and I have had no problems with the speed or this dropping signal as I walk around my house as well.

I did do a range test with this adapter and I still had 1 bar after walking to the end of my 1 acre yard. Internet was really slow, but I was still connected.

I think for the price of this, the speed you receive and how simple it is to install and use, this is a great WIFI adapter that everyone that needs one should get. #ad

Intelligent Smart Sweeper by Evertop Review

Color: White

Model: FD-2RSW(A)

The robotic sweeper by EVERTOP is pretty awesome and works great on my tile and hardwood floors. The white and gray on this look great this is a high-end sweeper and made very well.

What I like:

- Has cliff sensors so it doesn’t fall down the steps when on the second floor

- Has corner brushes on both sides, instead of just one (with 2 spares)

- Comes with extra accessories (extra brushes and filters)

- Has a double HEPA filters on the dust box

- Has a handle on top for easy carrying

- Uses infrared for furniture and wall detection

- High power suction and cleaning

- Has Intelligent 4 cleaning modes (spot, edge, straight line, circling) but 8 total

- Has Light detection function so it won’t stop under furniture when battery dies

- Has a 2100mAh rechargeable battery that runs for about 30-45 minutes

- Charges using a standard 110v wall outlet

What could be better:

- Could work on other surfaces and cross over to carpet or at least area rugs

- Run time could be longer on full charge after charging for 3-4 hours

Overall, this is a very good robotic sweeper that is really easy to set up, get working and use but, it is floor specific and only works on flat hard surfaces and isn’t an overall whole house vacuum if you have carpet in some rooms. #ad

Note: Replacement parts: Filter-B01J762WMQ Side brush-B01J1H7KV4
