Streaming Your Favorite Shows With Google Chromecast

October 16, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Google Chromecast

It is fall and that means a new season of great shows to watch and with it getting colder outside that means spending more time with some shows too. The summer was super busy and with starting a new job and everything else that is happening in our lives, it is nice at times to simply sit down in front of the big screen TV to relax with the family with our favorite shows.

So many people have cut the cord on cable. We are about to do this ourselves, as we are getting sick of the large amounts of money that we have been spending. We have been looking into other options and one of the things that we have been exploring lately is the Google Chromecast Streaming Media player. The Google Chromecast is made to stream video and easily plugs into your TV’s HDMI port granting you instant access to your favorite streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, HBO Now and others. You can watch movies, shows, live TV, and even stream photos to your TV from all your family’s devices.

One of the unique things I have learned about Chromecast is that through the use of Google Assistant you can give the device vocal commands to get things done, making use even easier.

Using Chromecast is super simple. All you have to do is follow these steps:

  1. Plug in your Chromecast into a HDMI port on your TV to power and stream your favorite entertainment right from your phone with just a tap.
  2. Watch shows, listen to playlists, and more.
  3. Use your phone as you normally do.

After learning about this I am thinking of bringing a Chromecast home for myself! Enjoy TV shows, movies, videos, songs, games, sports and more from over 2000 apps like Netflix, YouTube, YouTube TV, and HBO NOW. Find out more at http://bby.me/8mht4

Get Ready For A Great Listening Experience With The New Sony Noise Canceling Headphones

September 20, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones

When it comes to listening to Music, podcasts or really anything I want to have great headphones that I can use anywhere. The problem for me in the past has always been having headphones that are not noise canceling and having to crank up the music volume because I could not hear things well.

I went looking for some new headphones recently and while I was at my local Best Buy I was able to check out the new Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Headphones. These headphones were amazing and offer industry-leading noise canceling technology. You see, Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 brings the WH-1000XM3 to the pinnacle of noise cancellation!

As I tried out these headphones I found that they truly offered premium sound. In researching these I found that they have 40mm drivers with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms which really make a huge difference in the quality of sound that you get in your listening experience. The headphones are also Hi-Res Audio compatible and they can reproduce a full range of frequencies.

I loved that the headphones held a charge for quite some time. You can listen for up to 30 hours without having to charge. Even better though is that if you do need to charge up, the headphones have quick charging capability which will give you five hours of playback with just 10 minutes of charge time (talk about fast!).

Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones

Finally, I would be remiss to not mention that beyond just noise canceling capability on these headphones, you also have the ability to use the Smart Listening feature. With Smart Listening by Adaptive Sound Control you will be able to automatically detect your activity and the technology will balances noise canceling levels accordingly.

The new Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Headphones are amazing and really make a huge difference in the listening experience for any listener!

A House With Kids Can Be Loud, Your Dishwasher Shouldn’t Be: Bosch Dishwashers at Best Buy

August 23, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Disclaimer: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free
BOSCH Premium Series Dishwasher

I love to cook for my family and also cook with my kids when I can too. The issue though is that whenever I cook I tend to make a bigger mess. When the kids cook by themselves the mess tends to be even larger.  With that in mind I need a dishwasher that has a ton of features that will take care of the messy situations that happen. 

So why do I want in a dishwasher for myself and for my family?

I want a dishwasher that is quiet. Why, because life does not stop when I need to get things cleaned. I have had loud dishwashers in the past and it really stops you from being able to keep doing things while. 

A Dishwasher that performs

Not only do I want a dishwasher that is quiet, but I want one that cleans thoroughly and that is where Bosch dishwashers come in. I went to my local Best Buy I was particularly impressed with the 800 Series and some of the features that it offers that makes Bosch an amazing dishwasher brand.

BOSCH Premium Series Dishwasher

First, I love how much energy this dishwasher saves. The Bosch 100 Series units are ENERGY STAR certified to save energy and run efficiently.  These units also have a triple filtration system that ends up removing food particles, and also have 6 different cleaning options making it completely possible to clean everything completely. The Bosch 800 offers a variable spray pressure system that has high and low sprayers that cleans hard-to-reach places. There is even a high-temperature wash with sanitizing option which helps to reduce bacteria and enhance drying. I mean Bosch owns 5 of the top 10 drying scores out of 160 tested dishwashers by a leading consumer publication.  

Design

I want a dishwasher that is easy to control and the BOSCH 800 series is super simple. With the touch of a single button on the front of the dishwasher you can get things started. Easy operation is achieved via the touch button front panel controls. What was also amazing to me was the amount of items you can fit in the Bosch 800. This dishwasher can fit up to 14 place settings and the upper rack can be adjusted manually for different heights. The silverware basket is even removable. All of this being said, this dishwasher offers an Adjustable Rackmatic™ rack which provides 9 adjustable positions giving you maximum loading flexibility. 

Quiet

There are 18 sound reducing technologies built in, making this the quietest dishwasher available.  In talking to the people at Best Buy I was told that it is so quiet that the only way you know that it is on is through seeing that the InfoLight ® is on.

Bosch 800 Series at Best Buy

The new Bosch 800 Series Dishwashers is offered in a number of finishes. If this sounds like s dishwasher for you, head over to your local Best Buy or visit the Best Buy website to see the available options.

SunBriteTV – Outdoor Weatherproof Televisions Are Perfect For Your Outdoor Spaces

June 4, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Lately I have been working to build out a space outdoors that I can use on a regular basis. Part of the work in looking into this is to provide a space where we can watch some television if we want to, when we want. I have been researching options for televisions that can stay outside (in covered and uncovered locations) and I came to find that the SunBriteTV Veranda series is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade applications but also have options including: Full Shade (Veranda), Partial Sun (Signature), and Full Sun (Pro).

Why is this important? Well, first indoor TVs don’t belong outside. SunBriteTV s are made-for-the-outdoors products. This means that you are safe to have these type of televisions out in the elements and also enjoy being outdoors as well.

SunBriteTV

This is an important advancement, in my opinion, because I have been talking to more and more friends that are trying to create outdoor living spaces and while they may not have initially thought about technology such as this, with the current advancements in the field all-weather TVs both enhance the outdoor lifestyle and are made to stand up to whatever is thrown at them. Also, in budgeting out this project, I have found that creating an outdoor home theater is one the most affordable room additions you can make to your home, and to be honest, the best seat in the house is in your backyard!

SunBriteTV s are engineered for permanent outdoor installation and are more durable, safer, and higher performance than using indoor TVs outdoors. Because of this there is no more choosing between enjoying great weather or watching the game and instead it’s all about bringing the conveniences folks are used to indoors outside.

SunBriteTV

 

Current SunBriteTV Offers|

  • Get a free: Outdoor Weatherproof Tilt Mount for 37″ – 80″ TV Screens & Displays – (Black)  with the purchase of: SunBriteTV – Veranda Series – 55″ Class LED – Outdoor – Full Shade – 2160p – 4K Ultra HD TV

Make Your Kitchen Stand Out With GE Premium Finish Appliances

April 22, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

GE Premium Finish

GE kitchen, GE Black Stainless Kitchen, kitchen shell

 

When you buy a home you want to make your own statement. Being that you spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen, you also want to have a kitchen that really stands out but also are easy to clean. This is not only important because you spend time in your kitchen, but also because you will be entertaining within the space too. Also, if and when you have kids, their little hands will be all over everything so having appliances that are fingerprint resistant makes a lot of sense!

Here is the great part, recently in walking around my local Best Buy, I came to find that there are some brand new GE Premium Finish Appliances that are on the market. As someone that just purchased new black finish appliances in the past year, I will tell you I wish that these had been on the market as I would have definitely picked these!!

GE is the leader in premium finish options, giving shoppers the ability to design a unique kitchen package suited to personal needs and style. Focus on Black Stainless Finish offer you a:

  • Bold and sophisticated appearance
  • High-gloss finish that makes a statement in any kitchen
  • Fingerprint resistant and easy to maintain and clean

These new GE Black Stainless Premium Finish Appliances were designed for those who want to make a statement. Combining a glossy, bold black hue and the contemporary brushed metal appearance of stainless steel. Black Stainless adds sleekness and originality and in talking to the representative at Best Buy it also wipes clean in seconds, remaining free from smudges, which is super important in my home as the kids’ hands go everywhere and they are not always willing to clean the the aftermath themselves!
