Tempered protection. – Foxx Electronics’ Samsung Note 5 Tempered Glass Screen Protector.

Standard

We are not new to tempered glass phone screens. My husband uses them all of the time. I am quite impressed with them. They literally become another screen for your phone. They are very clear on, while providing great scratch and impact protection for your real, and very expensive screen. This particular screen protector, for the Galaxy Note 5, from Foxx Electronics has a 9H rating. It does not diminish your touch sensitivity at all. Your screen will continue to be bright and clear. This particular protector comes with a dust removal sticker, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and an alcohol prep towelette. Just make sure your screen is really clean before applying it. Then place it on. It gets bubbles like a regular screen protector. You need to push them out the same way. You can lift it up and reapply it if necessary. These tempered glass screen protectors are also harder to scratch than regular, flexible protectors. That is our personal experience. My husband likes using them because of this. His jobs are very hands on, and his phone gets knocked around. He relies heavily on a solid screen protector and phone case. He even just moved his old tempered glass screen protector to his replacement phone he just got from T-Mobile, that is how usable they are. He has switched to this one though, since the other one was about a year old.

Always be prepared with Wotech’s 8000mAh 2-Output Fast Charging Power Bank.

Standard

I believe that you should have at least one power bank per person in your home for an emergency. In most homes nowadays, for example, the home telephone is a cell phone. If your power is out for the day, and your phone goes dead, that could be serious in an emergency. Almost everyone has flashlights, phones, tablets, and more that have internal batteries that need to be charged. This way, you will always have back up power in an emergency. Power banks, like this 8000mAh power bank from Wotech, can be used when you are out and about, or on the road for work, and more. My husband uses a power bank daily. They really come in handy. This particular one is well made, and highly portable. It measures out at only 5” long x 2 ¾” wide, and ½” thick. It does come with a micro USB cord to charge it with. It does not get hot to the touch while charging. I love the denim look, as they call it. It’s a very sleek and sporty power bank. When fully charged it will display 4 little blue LEDs. Each LED represents 25% of its power level, so it’s easy to see when your power level is down, and you need to recharge it. There is a power button on this unit. It’s located on the face plate where the ports are. If this gets pressed by accident, it will shut off after being on for a minute without anything plugged into the USB port. The two ports are different. The one closest to the power button is the 2.4A max output port. The other port is the 1A max output port. It has over-charge protection, over-discharged protection, over-voltage protection, over-current protection, and short circuit protection. This power bank even charges my son’s highly finicky Samsung 3 tablet. It is really picky on what it will charge with. I have never had an electronic device like that one before, lol. I can easily charge his pad from empty, as well as my Galaxy Note 5 from empty on this power bank. I even have some left over. Overall, I am very happy with this power bank. It works very well and is highly portable.

Power on the go.-Wotech’s 10000mAh Two-Output Fast Charging Power Bank.

Standard

We are big power bank users in our home. My husband especially uses them all of the time. Even when he goes to bed, and uses his phone as his alarm clock. He doesn’t have an open outlet by his side of the bed, so a power bank is his only option. We have our cable phone and router system tied into that outlet. This power bank by Wotech is a fantastic size at 10,000mAh. That is a great and very convenient size battery. This power bank is white in color. It is lightweight, and a great size at 5 ½” long by 2 ¾” wide and approx. ½” thick. It charges via the included micro USB cord. There are 2 USB out ports on it, so you can charge two items at the same time. It even has auto shut off. So, if you accidently press the power button, and turn it on, it will shut off after about a minute without anything plugged into it. This power bank also has over charge protection, over current and short circuit protection, over voltage protection, over discharged protection. In other words, you can feel good about using this power bank with your expensive tablets, phones, and more. You can charge anything that charges via a USB cord. There are dedicated USB ports on this unit. They are only labeled out though. The one closest to the power button is the 2A out port, and the one furthest from the power button is the 1A out port. IPhones charge well on the 1A. My larger Note 5 Android phone, needs the 2A port to charge. It does charge well on this unit. I topped off the charge on my phone, and this power bank still had 4 blue LEDs lit up on it. I like power banks with these lights. It’s easier to see when your power bank needs to be recharged. Each bar represents 25% of its power level. I can charge my phone twice and my tablet once on this power bank, easily. It has not become hot to the touch while charging either. It’s definitely a keeper. We rely on them daily. They are great when you are out and about with work, and travel. They are also imperative to have in the home, in case of a power outage.

An incredible power station. – Ocean Technology’s UNITEK 10-Port(with 1 Port QC 2.0) USB Charger Charging Station for Multiple Device with SmartIC Tech.

Standard

If you have a family of electronics, you need this charging station. It is powerful, and oh so handy to have and use! There are a total of 10 USB ports on this charging station from Unitek, sold by Ocean Technologies. Each port can deliver a charge up to 2.4A, and 1 port is a QC 2.0A port. This is a 60W unit. This port has a different color inside of it, so easy to see. It is the port all the way on the right. All the ports offer a nice snug fit. The power cord comes in 2 pieces and attaches into the left side of this stand. This is the coolest stand too. It comes with 10 plastic dividers, that push into the grooves on top of the unit. You can set them up any way you want, or leave the off all together. With them on, you can stand your charging items between those dividers. I put several on, in a wider configuration, and was able to stand my power banks up between them, while charging them. I love how organized that is. It takes up so much less space this way as well. Since each port delivers so much power, you can actually charge a lot of items at one time. Most of my items require the larger amps, so this is perfect for me. I can charge phones, tablets, batteries, and power banks, all at one time. This is what they said about the QC port: “The 1 charging port with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, which allow certain Qualcomm Snapdragon based devices charge up to 75% faster than devices that use conventional charging methods.” I think that’s pretty impressive, myself. This unit is larger, but does not have a built in fan. Even so, it only gets a little warm to the touch while charging. It comes with a US plug, but can accept voltage worldwide: 100-240V input. So, if you do a lot of traveling, just bring a plug adapter with you, and you are good. This charging station is even energy efficient. It received the highest rating from the U.S. Department of Energy of DOE 6. I like knowing that. It’s a smart charger, and supplies what you need to your unit, as well as, it won’t over charge your item. That is an important feature as well. So far so good for me with this charger. It is performing perfectly, and I am loving it.

Increase the value of your home, and make your life better at the same time, with Topgreener’s 24W Ultra-High Speed Dual USB Smart Charging Receptacle, 15A TR.

Standard

We are ruled by our electronics nowadays. Ok, it might not be that bad, but our home wiring does need to be updated to meet our modern day needs. I hate looking for adapters. That, and they tend to be bulky, and easily knocked out of the socket. It’s been more than once, where I thought my tablet or phone was charging, to find out that the adapter, had been pulled slightly out of the socket. No charging had taken place. We have other Topgreener outlets, and we love them. I was thrilled to be able to review their 24W high speed dual USB charging receptacle. It is a tamper resistant outlet as well, which is great if you have little kids.  They won’t be able to put tiny things into the outlet, shocking themselves. There are 2 high speed USB outlets as well as 1 3-prong plug, in this unit. The 2 USB ports were done well. Your USBs will have a nice, snug fit, with perfect charging. They are 4.8A total output between the 2. These ports are smart ports as well. They recognize your device, and deliver the power it needs to charge it, and nothing more. For example, an IPhone uses around 1A to charge, whereas my Note 5 likes 2A. It installs easily. You do need to provide your own wall plate. The USB modules are even replaceable. The top of the unit lifts off if you use a flat head screw driver to pry it up from the side of it. The instruction sheet that comes with this unit is really easy to understand and follow. With the wires the white is the neutral, the black is the hot, and the green is the ground. Like I said, easy to install. Lol, make sure you turn the power off before switching out your outlet. They even provide a 2 year warranty with this product.

It’s so nice to not have to use adapters. It makes for a cleaner look as well. Outlets like this one just make it better. Especially if you have a counter top area where you always charge your items. Or bedside, at each side of the bed, for the two of you to charge your phones and tablets, while you sleep. You really can’t get more convenient. With a little investment, you really do up the value of your home as well.

Meet the Dragon from Vomach.

Standard

I live in a home of gamers, lol. Especially computer gaming. These headphones are definitely getting some use. The have two 3.5mm cables and one USB cable attached to it. The USB is to power the green LED lighting throughout the headphones. I love the green LED lighting on these Vomach Dragon headphones. It really adds to the gaming environment. The mic on these actually lights up green as well. You do not have to use the LED lighting in order to use the headphones. My younger son’s computer isn’t set up for him to use the LEDs while using the headphones, unfortunately. My computer is, as well as my older son’s. One Aux cable powers the mic and headphones, and one just does the headphones, and no mic. No, they are not labeled, lol. My younger son always speaks to his friend while they play games, and the mic has been very clear for him. There is a mic off switch and a volume control bar, part way down the 2meter cable, and they are very easy to operate. It’s pretty generous in size, which is good for him, because he can’t sit still. The mic is clear on both ends too. You will not have to yell and keep repeating yourself with this one. I listened to videos and the sound is very clear. Both the bass and instrumental were pretty level. No weird pitches, no static, or lag. My son says they are perfect. And he is not a fan of headphones. He’d rather scream into the computer. It’s a lot of fun, lol. The ends of the Aux cables are gold plated for enhanced performance. The headband itself has a spring loaded adjustment to fit your head, and allow for comfortable movement and fit. The ear padding is very soft on the ears as well. On the inside of the ear cups you will see a screen printed Dragon; a nice touch if I do say so myself. Overall, we are very pleased with the Dragon from Vomach.

Cable management with Airsspu’s Desktop Cable Management Cable Organizer.

Standard

I was afforded the opportunity to review Airsspu Desktop Cable Management Cable Organizer for power cords and charging accessory cables, black, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown.

This little guy is actually quite heavy. I knew it was weighted, but I was still surprised. The outside has a rubber coating, but when you turn it over you can see the metal threading in case you want to mount it. So, it is obviously metal on the inside. This holder will help keep up to 4 wires more organized, and thus hopefully, tangled free. This holder does not hold onto thin USB wires in a snug manner. They are loose fitting, but they remain there as they should. If you position this, where you would be moving the wires in an upward motion a lot, they will come out if they are thinner wires. I hate getting my wires tangled. I test a lot of items, and I am always moving and inter changing plugs and USB wires. This does help the insanity when you have multiple wires in a small space. Just position it well. I like how small it is, it really doesn’t take up much space at all. It measures out at just over 3 inches long and just under 2 inches wide. It is definitely a durable and long lasting piece.

A Smart switch for the bathroom! – Top Greener’s Enerlites DWHOS-W Humidity / PIR Motion Sensor Switch.

Standard

.I am not new to Top Greener’s electrical equipment. We are very pleased with the quality. This particular Enerlite Light and Humidity Control switch is pretty wild. They even offer a 5-year warranty with it. I was happy to see that this particular product lives up to the quality I was used to with their products. This unit even had its wires clearly labeled. You will need to provide your own wall plate for it. They do provide, however, 6 wire nuts to help you get the job done.

First let’s start by saying safety First. Be sure to turn off the breaker to the circuits prior to trying to connect the switch. That being said, this switch is very useful. It is equipped with two sensors: a motion sensor and a humidity sensor. Both are designed to turn on automatically. These would be connected to the lights and the fan, in any bathroom of your choice. On the rear of the switch are 6 wires: one ground wire-green, one neutral wire-white, two line ins-1 black & 1 blue, and two load outs-1 red & 1 brown. If you have separate power coming in for the fan and the light, you can use each individual line in. However, if you only have one power feed you would need to connect both line ins to the same power, then connect the loads to the respective load. It’s that simple, cover with a standard rocker switch wall plate and enjoy.

This unit arrives with factory settings. The directions included are pretty clear, and spell out clearly how to switch it to quick installation mode, if you want to. So, you will either have a 15-second or 30-minute delay. This unit is great, especially for smaller bathrooms, where humidity can build up fast. That in turn can build mold up. I am highly allergic to mold, so I am very happy with this unit. My kids never turn on the fan. With this, I do not have that worry anymore. I even forget to turn it on. So many times I get into the shower, and then half way through, the shower starts to get really stuffy. When the humidity builds up the fan goes on, and after it clears up, it just turns of on its own. You will get so spoiled by this. Why they don’t make bathroom fans with this feature is beyond me.

Great sound quality. – Vomach’s Bluetooth Earphones.

Standard

We use Bluetooth headphones all of the time in my household. They are well loved, lol. My guys live and breathe with them, since they can use them at work and for working out. They always need to be able to take calls as well. With Bluetooth headphones like these, they can continue to work and drive, and still take calls from inspectors, head of the company, clients and more. These headphones are perfect for them, and very slick looking. The design is very modern, and professional. These Vomach Bluetooth Earphones come with a small micro USB charging cable, and 2 pairs of extra silicone earbuds. The controls are on the right ear. The micro USB charging port is on the left ear. The controls are on the right ear are a +, – and multipurpose button. The multipurpose button is on the top, and the other two buttons are on the backside of your ear. This is pretty easy to remember. These headphones have Bluetooth CSR V4.1 technology. You can even connect to two items at the same time. After you connect with the first item, turn off your Bluetooth. Then connect the second item. Now, go ahead and turn the Bluetooth back on the first item.  The sound quality is pretty great, it really is. They have noise isolation as well. Lol, I keep yelling at people when I talk while the music is playing. The bass and instrumental sound well balanced, and clear. Music is really enjoyable with this set up. These talk to you, so there is no guessing. It states things like: Power On, Pairing, Power Off, and it even spells out the incoming call. On the right ears’ + button and – buttons, you long press these to adjust the volume, and short press to either move forward in your play list or restart your song. For the price point these are at, they are awesome. You can get about the usual 30ft away from these, just not down the hallway, around corners, or behind doors. These do get about 5hours of playtime, less if you play the music really loud. If you only use these for calls, maybe closer to 6 hours of battery life. These have in internal 80mAh battery. These also get 200 hours of standby time, and only take a 1 ½ hours to charge. Not too shabby. I really like these headphones.

You can get about the usual 30ft away from these, just not down the hallway, around corners, or behind doors. If you have an IPhone you should be able to detect the battery status on these. I have Android, so I do not have that ability. They do get about 4 ½ hours of playtime, 180 hours of standby time, and only take a couple hours to charge. Not too shabby.
