Ultenic U10 vacuum cleaner review

0

Vacuum cleaners may not be the first thing you think of when someone brings up cool new tech products but after seeing the Ultenic U10, you may have a new perspective.

At just five pounds, the U10 is light and easy to use around the house. The battery checks in at 2200mAh, which is smaller than most flagship phones in 2021.

Ultenic U10 Battery Life and Charging

This will net you up to 40 minutes of use in “Eco Mode.” If you need a little more power, you can kick on “Max mode'” where Ultenic says you can expect about 15 minutes of usage. I was pleasantly surprised that Ultenic was actually conservative with their estimates because I ended up getting about an hour of usage in Eco Mode while sweeping my carpet floors and doing a quick sweep of my car before a long car trip.

Really the only downside here is that it takes about 2.5 hours to recharge from dead to full. In a world where we have Wireless Chargers that can charge @ 50W or better, this slow cabled charging is very disappointing. You can buy extra bathers that can be charged outside the unit and hot-swapped.

What’s it Like to Use the Ultenic U10?

Using the Ultenic U10 is a breeze. It’s light, easily maneuverable, and well thought out. It comes with two brushes, an extension tube, two heads, a Wall Mount, and a charger.

I normally have the extension tube installed with the floor brush but if I’m trying to get hard-to-reach places, it’s a snap to remove it and attach the crevice tool to target a specific area.

There are brushes for both carpet (which can also be used for hard surfaces) and a soft-bristle brush that’s designed more for bedding, couches, curtains, and the like. Swapping them out is easy but I’ve been using to carpet brush for everything and it has been fine.

As I mentioned earlier, I used this to clean out my car and will probably avoid this in the future if there are other options available. I have a pretty big SUV (Sorento) but it’s just a little too big to handle in there with just the crevice tool attached. I wasn’t able to get into good angles to clean those little spots that pick up dust, dirt, and crumbs. Trying to use this in an even smaller car would be a lesson in futility. I’d much rather use a smaller device where I can sacrifice battery and suction poor for ease of use.

What accessories do you get with the Ultenic U10?

I’m impressed at how well thought out the Ultenic U10 is. The modular design is a nerd’s dream and the inclusion of a HEPA filter shows the company is looking to actually make the best product possible, not just design something that looks nice to drive sales but falls flat when you get your hands on it.

While the Utteric isn’t perfect, it checks all the right boxes for light hone use. Our place isn’t big but with a dog, two cats, a messy kid, and two adults, we have our share of dirt, dust, hair, and messes.

Our normal Dyson tears through the place leaving no spec of dust untouched. While the U10 isn’t quite that powerful, I’d have zero problems recommending it to someone in a similar situation that doesn’t want to pay 2x-5x for a name brand that will probably be overkill.

We obviously can’t speak to longevity here because our review periods last about three weeks. That being said, the Ultenic U10 does appear to be made with quality parts and its modular design means, in theory, you can just buy a replacement if something breaks down. The vacuum comes with a one-year warranty out of the box.

Ultenic U10: Wrapping Things Up

Wrapping things up, I’ve enjoyed my time with the Ultenic U10. The company has done a good job of designing a well-thought-out, modular device that walks the line of functionality vs price.

I’d definitely like to see improved charging speeds in a product revision because nothing is more frustrating than being 75% done with a job and waiting an hour for the vacuum to recharge enough to finish. If that’s not possible, tee inclusion of a secondary battery would at least ease the pain a bit.

You can pick the Ultenic U10 up at Amazon for $159.

Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC Headphones Review

It used to be that if you wanted the top-of-the-line active noise cancelling headphones, there was only one brand to consider, Bose. But once Sony released its WH-1000XM3 over-ear headphones, it blew everyone away with the sound quality and active noise cancellation (ANC).

How does its successor, the WH-1000XM4 carry on the tradition? Sony sent us out a pair to find out for ourselves.

Design

The Sony WH-1000XM4 design doesn’t stray far from the previous model. I guess the approach was, if it isn’t broke then don’t fix it. Although, for a premium pair of headphones, the WH-1000XM4 sure use a lot of plastic. On the bright side, they feel solid and durable.

However, to keep your investment protected, Sony also includes a hardshell carrying case in the box. There is also an airplane adapter, a 3.5mm cable, and a laughably short USB-C charging cable.

As far as ports and buttons go, there is a USB-C port on the left for charging and a 3.5mm port on the right along with the power button and button that can be used for Google Assistant.

Supplementing the physical buttons are touchpads on the left and right ear cup. These work with a series of taps and swipes making it easy to control the playback and volume of your music. I haven’t always been the biggest fan of touch controls, but these work wonderfully and I never found myself accidentally triggering actions.

Comfort

The WH-1000XM4 headphones make use of synthetic leather on the ear cups and headband with urethane foam. I found the padding to be more than sufficient on the headband and never felt any discomfort on the top of my head while using the headphones.

Although, the padding on the ear cups came up a little short. I could feel the interior of the ear cup lightly against my ear while wearing the Sony WH-1000XM4. Thankfully, it barely grazed my ear, and there is a little empty space behind the material which prevented any irritation even when wearing for long periods of time.

User experience

The Sony WH-1000XM4 sets itself apart with a fantastic user experience. For starters, it uses Google Fast Pair, which as the name suggests, makes it quick and easy to pair your headphones with your phone.

Next, the WH-1000XM4 is host to a ton of features. It has Google Assistant support built-in and will read your notifications to you, as well as allow you to reply using your voice. There’s also Alexa support if that’s more your style.

Besides the digital assistant support, the Sony WH-1000XM4 has a lot of smarts built into them. For starters, there’s a speak-to-chat function that will pause your music and let ambient noise in, allowing you to have a conversation without removing the headphones or triggering it manually.

If you prefer to control this manually, speak-to-chat can be disabled and you can enable it by placing your hand on the right ear cup. The WH-1000XM4 also automatically pauses and resumes playback with a sensor that detects when you remove or place the headphones back on.

When listening to music, the Sony WH-1000XM4 also has the ability to enhance it by upscaling compressed digital files for higher quality. Plus, the adaptive sound control automatically adjusts the sound based on your location and changes depending on whether you’re moving or standing still. Noise cancellation is also customized depending on your location and activity.

In short, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones constantly work to ensure you have the best sound quality and noise cancellation possible, while also giving you convenient features that allow you to carry on with your day while enjoying your favorite music.

App

Behind all these smarts in the WH-1000XM4 is the Sony Headphones app. It’s here where you can change several options, take control of the noise cancellation levels, adjust the equalizer, update the firmware, and more.

The app is an essential part of the WH-1000XM4 experience and I highly recommend you install it immediately, if for no other reason than to make sure you have the latest firmware. Although, I found myself digging through the options and personalizing the headphones to my liking and it really enriches the overall experience.

Sound Quality

When I reviewed the WF-1000XM3 earbuds from Sony my only criticism was that I found them a little light on bass, which I fixed easily with the built-in equalizer in the app. So when I first tried out the WH-1000XM4s I was surprised how bass-forward they were right out of the box.

If you’re a fan of bass, like I am, then you’ll be very pleased with the sound of the WH-1000XM4; however, if you’re not, then you can easily make some tweaks with the app. In my case, I had to add a little to the high-end to give them more of a V-shaped sound signature. After these little tweaks, I found they sounded perfect and one of the best-sounding pairs of Bluetooth headphones I’ve heard.

Additionally, the Sony WH-1000XM4s support the LDAC codec which transmits music over Bluetooth at 990kbps for near CD-quality sound. In comparison, its closest competitor is aptX HD from Qualcomm which is about half of what LDAC offers. The only drawback is that LDAC usually consumes more battery power.

ANC

Probably one of the most impressive feats of the WH-1000XM4 headphones is the ability to block out distracting sounds while providing fantastic sound quality. If you truly want to block out all the racket to enjoy your music then it’s hard to beat the capability of Sony’s ANC in the WH-1000XM4.

Now that it’s summertime I’m often bombarded by sounds of mowers, blowers, and cicadas. The WH-1000XM4 were able to drown out all of these nearly silencing or completely blocking them on most occasions, even without music playing. In the instances where it didn’t completely silence background noise, it became masked entirely once I began playing music.

Mic Quality

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones include four microphones with advanced audio signal processing. In my testing, I found that my voice sounded clear but I needed to speak with a little more volume than usual. My friend also remarked that there was some static in the background when I ran my overhead fan, but overall it works well and should get you through those Zoom work calls.

Battery Life

Sony rates the WH-1000XM4’s battery life at 30 hours, and in my experience, it’s the battery that just keeps going. After putting in 10 hours of listening time this past week the battery is at 70%, and for most of that, I was using the LDAC codec, on top of the headphones installing a firmware update.

To say I’m impressed is an understatement. Being able to stream with LDAC usually kills other headphones I’ve used much more quickly, not to mention upgrades often take a chunk out as well.

Final Thoughts

There’s really not much else left to say. I’ve spent this entire review praising every aspect of the Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC Headphones. To put it simply, these are one of the best, if not the best active noise cancelling headphones you can buy today.

Between the smart features, the sound quality, battery life, and class-leading ANC technology you just can’t go wrong by purchasing these. You can pick up the Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC headphones from Amazon, Best Buy, or other retailers for $280 at the time of writing.

ATMOKO Electric Toothbrush review

0

As an outlet that gets to review a wide variety of mobile-related accessories, we are sometimes afforded the opportunity to check out other items. Sometimes they’re tech-based gadgets, sometimes they’re more broad in scope. Today sees us taking a look at the ATMOKO Electric Toothbrush.

You should be brushing your teeth at least twice a day. Are you? How often are you replacing that toothbrush? Surely, you’re not using the same old one for months or years on end.

ATMOKO Sonic Electric Toothbrush
Test Drive posts are our way of sharing immediate impressions and early reactions to products, apps, and services. Not to be construed as a full review, these are first-blush looks at things we think you’d enjoy.

The ATMOKO Electric Toothbrush ($23) is the sort of device you reach for to help you get into good habits. Not only does it come with numerous brush heads, it also features five different modes.

Simply plug the toothbrush in for four hours and you’ll find that it is strong enough for two brushings per day over 30 days. It’s lightweight and packs easily for an overnight stay or week camping.

The built-in light indicator lets you see which mode you’re in, plus you’ll also know how much battery is left when done brushing. Speaking of which, the toothbrush has mini-timers (30 seconds) so that you can focus on the different areas in your mouth.

Features

  • 8 Dupont brush heads
  • IPX7 waterproof
  • 5 modes (whitening, cleaning, sensitive, polishing, massage)
  • 30 days usage per charge

Early Impressions

We appreciate the number of brush heads included with the toothbrush as it helps provide peace of mind knowing we can throw them out every quarter.

The light indicator is a nice touch so we can see that we’re moving from massage to whiten mode. We would like for things to be a little more distinct lighting-wise but we can overlook for the price.

The same could be said for the charging as you need to supply your own power adapter. With that said, the USB plug is one that’s readily available and you’re only charging about once per month. Indeed, you can plug it into your PC should be be in a pinch.

You won’t find any warranty information in the box, nor does Amazon’s listing help, but the ATMOKO Electric Toothbrush does comes with a one-year warranty. And if you register it with the brand’s website, you’ll get a second year at no extra cost. A 45-day money-back guarantee lets you return the unit with no questions asked for a full refund.

Where to Buy

You can learn more about the ATMOKO Electric Toothbrush at the brand’s website where you can also register for an extended warranty. To purchase one you’ll ultimately end up at Amazon where it’s currently $23.

JLAB Talk USB Microphone review

0

When it comes to creating content, audio quality often trumps video in the minds of consumers. That is to say they would rather have higher quality audio than high-res video. Just so long as they can clearly hear what’s going on they’re willing to forgive less than stellar video.

If you’re a content creator, podcast producer, game streamer, or would-be vlogger, you’ll want to get a decent microphone as quickly as possible. And if you’re just starting out, you don’t have a large budget to tap. Fortunately, there are great devices to consider which don’t cost very much at all. Take, for instance, the JLab Talk desktop microphone.

Test Drive posts are our way of sharing immediate impressions and early reactions to products, apps, and services. Not to be construed as a full review, these are first-blush looks at things we think you’d enjoy.

Priced about $100, the JLab Talk USB Microphone is a wallet-friendly barrier into the world of podcasting and game streaming. Moreover, it has a surprising amount of options for the price.

Features

  • Three condensors
  • Four directional pattern modes
  • 6.5-ft USB/USB-C cable for plug and play usage
  • Two-year warranty

Early Impressions

The JLab Talk is a lightweight and portable unit that travels easily. It’s the kind of device that works well for those who like to set up shop on a picnic table, office desk, or kitchen table.

Choose from a handful of directional options (omni, cardioid, bi-directional, and stereo) based on your activity and whether you’re recording with others.

Other details we like are the quick mute button and headphone jack, something you’re not always going to find on less expensive competitors. Throw in gain control and volume control and you’re looking at a hell of an entry point in the world of podcasting and audio content creation.

Extra points awarded for the two year warranty.

Where to Buy

Learn more about the Talk USB Microphone at the JLab website where it’s available for $100. Shopping on a smaller budget or have fewer (or loftier) demands? There are a couple of other options to choose from.

As of today we see that Amazon offers the Talk USB Mic for just $59.40 which is almost half off.

Mobvoi unveils the TicWatch E3 with Snapdragon Wear 4100 for $200

0

Last year, Mobvoi unveiled the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS, the first smartwatch to feature Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon Wear 4100 chipset. In our review, I noted how it is the fastest Wear OS watch I’ve ever used along with having stellar battery life. The only problem is that it’s a bit on the pricey side coming in at $300. However, if you wanted Qualcomm’s latest chipset, you had no choice.

That was until today, when Mobvoi announced a new member to its TicWatch lineup sporting the Snapdragon Wear 4100. Introducing the TicWatch E3, the latest Mobvoi smartwatch with top-of-the-line specs and a much more affordable $200 price tag.

So, what else do you need to know about Mobvoi’s latest smartwatch? Besides being powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100, it comes with 1GB of RAM, which in case you didn’t know, that really makes a difference with performance. It’s very difficult to recommend a smartwatch with less than 1GB of RAM these days and it’s nice to see Mobvoi didn’t cheap out here.

Along with all that power, the TicWatch E3 also comes packed with health sensors. There’s a PPG heart rate sensor and SpO2 sensor for 24-hour monitoring of your heart rate and blood oxygen levels. The watch can also keep track of your steps, sleeping schedule, stress levels, and a wide variety of exercises with the new redesigned Mobvoi app.

Speaking of tracking exercises, the TicWatch E3 features an IP68 water resistance rating making it suitable for tracking swimming.

Besides being a capable health tracker, the TicWatch E3 also features a mic and speaker making it possible to take calls on the watch. Plus, you can make contactless payments using Google Pay thanks to the NFC chip.

Finally, the TicWatch E3 uses a 1.3-inch display and has a 380mAh battery to keep the lights on. Mobvoi promises up to two days of battery life with Essential mode enabled, which puts the smartwatch into a special low power mode. In this mode, you’ll be able to view the time, date, steps, and heart rate. However, all other features will be disabled to reduce power usage. By default, the TicWatch E3 will enable Essential mode when the battery hits five percent.

The TicWatch E3 is available for purchase in Panther Black starting today. It retails for $200 and can be purchased from Amazon or Mobvoi’s website.

OnePlus announces the new Nord N200 5G with 90Hz display for $240

0

The never settle brand announced a new member to its most affordable lineup of smartphones today with the OnePlus Nord N200 5G for a price of $240. Like previous Nord phones, this one promises to give you high-end features without the high cost.

For starters, the Nord N200 5G features a 6.49-inch FHD display with a 90Hz refresh rate to ensure smoother transitions and images on the screen. Also, as the name suggests, it will be a 5G phone, and quite an affordable one at that.

Besides the display and 5G connectivity, the rest of the specs are mostly what you’d expect from an entry-level phone these days. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and includes 64GB of storage. There’s also a microSD card slot allowing you to expand the storage further.

That should be helpful in storing all of the photos you’ll be taking with the OnePlus Nord N200 5G’s triple camera setup on the rear of the device. We don’t know much about the focal length of the cameras on the back, whether or not there is a zoom lens or if the additional cameras are for portrait or macros, but we do know that the main shooter uses a 13MP sensor.

When it comes time to take some selfies, the hole-punch camera on the front of the device uses an even larger sensor coming in at 16MP.

Finally, keeping that 90Hz display lit up is a 5,000mAh battery which OnePlus says will allow you to spend hours watching TV, playing graphically intense games, or browsing the internet without fear of the device running out of juice. However, when you do need to charge up, the Nord N200 5G uses 18W charging to make sure you can fill up quickly and ditch the cable.

Sales of the OnePlus Nord N200 5G will begin on June 25, 2021, at 11 am ET with a price of $240 USD. T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile are the exclusive carrier partners for the phone here in the U.S., but it will also be available for purchase unlocked from Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo, and OnePlus.com.
