White Electrical Tape by ERUW


Great tape. Just like the black electrical tape you can buy but in white. I think the white blends in on some things better than the black tape does.

The tape is very sticky and stays on anything I have put it on so far. Very elastic, pliable and will stretch a little if needed. It is summer here, so we will see how winter goes with it but any electrical tape normally gets a little stiff and hard to stick or apply when it gets cold.

At 66 feet long, should last a little while and is great to keep in the garage or tool bag so I have it when needed.

Pet-U 7L Automatic Pet Feeder


12 cats that eat all throughout the day are a hard group to be kept fed and even harder since have of them run when they heard me coming (wife’s cats). We have two other pet feeders and thought one more might be just enough now. Went with this one from Pet-U since it has a 7-liter barrel (holding tank) for the food and won’t need to be refilled as much as the other smaller ones I have.

This is like most pet feeders that can be programmed to dispense food 1-4 times a day and put out 1-39 pieces of food at a time. You can also record your voice and have a message spoken while it dispenses the food if you wish. It will call your pets to dinner when its time in your voice. This isn’t hard to program once you realize you have to push and hold the button you want to program and then push the other buttons to change what you need to. So, yes, it does take both hands to program it.

This is pretty well made. The tray can come off so make it easier to clean if needed and the lid on the storage bin, is easy to open and close when needed. The inside of the holding bin pulls out as well to make it easier to clean and refill.

This does run on 3 AA batteries (that you must supply) or you can plug in the micro USB plug into the back of it and plug it into a wall outlet. Either way, you have options here and are not limited to one way, so you can use this anyplace you need. You could do like it did and use both. That way if the power goes out, it will still work off the batteries when needed.

TRANYA True Wireless Earbuds Built-in Microphone – T1- Pro Upgraded Version


I had a nice headset I used for traveling but a piece broke off it and I needed something else to replace it with and after reading all these great reviews for these and that they have been upgraded, I had to try these truly wireless earbuds compared to the old wired ones.

I am really impressed with these. These are as good if not better than the headset I am replacing that cost almost three times as much. Things just keep getting better and better nowadays.

I also really like the carrying case that keeps charging them when not being used and that the earbuds turn on and off when you take them out or put them into the charging case. These last for 8 hours (I charge them over lunch) depending on how high you have the volume or how much you talk on the phone using them but with the carrying case to charge them, they last all week at work now before having to charge the case gain.

I am no music or sound guru, but I do like the sound of these and think they sound great, even when turned all the way up. I don’t hear any cracking or distortion. If you have an equalizer app on your device, you could tweak this and maybe make it sound a little better and the way you like, but they are good enough for me right out of the box.
 
The noise canceling is decent and works pretty well. I hear more music than outside noises except for the loud stuff.

Overall, I like these and think they are great. The more I use these, the more I like them. The best bass I have ever heard from wireless earbuds and the highs are just as good as well. You won’t be disappointed in these.

Mini Bluetooth Speakers True Wireless Stereo Speaker (TWS)


Love this little speaker. At about 1.5 inches high and wide, this fits anyplace but still has great sound. This is a wonderful little personal speaker that couldn’t be any easier to operate with only having one button. This doesn’t have all the extra features and buttons you never use that the other speakers have, and they have streamlined this to just listening to music and making it easy to use and operate.

It does come with a carrying case, charging cable (micro USB), metal carabiner clip and lanyard, so you can keep it protected and carry it around with you when you need it. I love to hang this in my golf cart as I am playing.

The 300mAh battery does take about 2 hours to charge and will last for about 5 hours depending on how loud you play this. Once connected to my phone thru the 4.2 Bluetooth the first time, it now auto connects when I turn it on. It has your normal 30 feet Bluetooth distance before it starts to cut out,

For being so small, it does have pretty good high and decent bass if you have an equalizer on your phone and can tweak it a little.

Dual Dash Cam Front and Rear FHD 1080P with Night Vision and SD Card Included, 3 Inch IPS Screen DVR Dash Camera for Cars


Compared to the first dashcam, I bought when they first started coming out, this one is awesome. With both a front and back camera, you can see and record everything. Bought the wife a new SUV, but like most of them it is hard to see out the back, this helps with that. That and this will record everything around you in case something happens.

This is easy to install and setup the setting in it. The hardest part was running and hiding the power cord around the front windshield and the cord to the backup camera.

This does record to an SD card and they provide a 32GB card (be sure to format it in the camera before using it the first time), so you don’t have to buy one separately. That is a nice little perk. This will do loop recording so it will overwrite the oldest recordings when it starts to run out of space, so if you want to keep them, you need to transfer them off the card before it gets to that point.

This also has a 3-inch HD screen which is more than enough to see what the camera(s) are seeing if you chose to have it on and look at it. I have it so the screen blacks out after 30 seconds, so I am not distracted by it while driving.

The the wide-angle lens on these two cameras are more than wide enough and see everything from side to side that you would see driving. The cameras are good enough (1080p F2.0 aperture) to pick and read license plates, but you do still need to be somewhat close for them to be readable as most video, things start to get blurred and pixelated when you try to zoom in or enlarge them.

The nigh vision on this is as good as any other camera (dashcam, security or camcorder) that I have had and works well. Like most night vision, it is limited on how far it can see and work for, but all you really care about is what is right in front of you.

This also has a parking monitor if you chose to turn it on and use it. It does work if someone or something bumps or moves your car. It will turn the camera on and record a 30-second video. My other ones had it but if it didn’t happen in front, it didn’t capture it. With front and back cameras now, I hope it will if it happens.

Goldenbox 2019 International IPTV Receiver Box with Lifetime Subscription for 1600+ Global Live Channels Including North American European Asian Arabic Brazil Programs Support Bluetooth 4.0


Still trying to be a cable cutter and this will help. This is basically an Android TV box that has 2GB of Ram, 16GB of hard drive space and can display things at 4k (2160P@30fps) if needed. This does not come with all the extras you could and should need like a keyboard and mouse but does have a remote and functions well with this box (does require 2 AA batteries). The extras are cheap and easy to get and not a deal-breaker. You are really paying for the GOTV app and access to that network and server to get all the 1600+ channels. You do not need an account to be able to access it and there are no fees or anything else you need to use it.

Since this is an Android box, and you have the play store already installed, you can download and install anything you want on this and use it. From games to other apps to watch TV or movies from other places. There are a ton of apps for this.

This The TV box is in line with others on the market and works well depending on how much you put on it and have running. Having it plugged into your ethernet cable will work better than WIFI but a decent WIFI signal will and does work pretty well if that is what you have. With the above specs, it is twice as fast as the Firestick.

I don’t need a lot of other country channels unless there is a sporting event I want to watch, but all the other channels so far look good and I have had no problems with them so far. It did freeze a couple of times watching a couple of channels but I think that is my security cameras taking up a lot of my bandwidth.

TAMPROAD RS-A800 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with FM Radio


This has a 3.5mm plug, USB port, TS card slot, Bluetooth and an FM radio. More than enough ways of connecting and playing music and also has a microphone port, so I could answer a phone call if one came in or do karaoke. It also comes with a remote, so you can change and adjust things from a distance if needed as well.

The speaker may seem a little smaller then it looks on the website, but it is about 10” tall, 7” wide and 6” deep. That and it weighs about 4 pounds, so not actually a small speaker but still small enough and light enough to carry around and be very portable when needed. The handle on top makes that very easy as well.

Now the part everyone wants to know, how is the sound of this speaker? Well, overall not bad. I normally play my music thru my phone and I have an equalizer app on there that I use for all my music and after a little tweak, I am happy to say, this speaker sounds awesome. The highs are clean and crisp, the bass is decent on songs with good bass and I hear no distortion or breaking when the volume is turned up. If you are a “Melophile” and must have the best and perfect sound, this isn’t for you. If you are someone that likes to listen to good music and have a good time, then get this.

I was so excited when I first turned this on in the video I made, I forgot all about the FM part of this. I think the sound in FM mode is even louder and better than in Bluetooth mode. All my local channels came in with no problem.
