Interplak Swj1 Sonic Water Jet, White


This water jet form Interplak is a vast improvement over their model WJ6RW.  I liked the sonic aspect although I am not sure exactly what that might be.  It felt like it accelerated the pulse of the water jet but regardless it felt cleansing.  The little drawer under the motor was also a nice feature.  All the little attachments could easily get lost without that convenient storage.  I felt it worked as well as my WaterPik which is what I went to after my disappointing experience with the WJ6RW.  The pause switch worked better than the one on my WaterPik.   This unit performed to my expectations and I would recommend it.  I am always amazed at what comes out of my teeth after I have flossed and brushed and then finally used a water jet.   So I recommend using a water jet and I think you would be pleased with this one.

With that said, I would recommend they add an additional standard water jet tip.  The aforementioned WJ6RW had two standard tips and luckily they fit this unit so I will have one and so will my spouse.   This unit is noisier than the WaterPik, not annoyingly so but it is nosier.   The packaging on the WJ6RW was a matching Styrofoam mold type that securely held the unit.  The packaging on the SWJ1 was cardboard and it did work.  I don’t know who played soccer with the delivery but the Amazon box was worked over and thusly the packaging on the SWJ1 was crunched up a bit.   The interior cardboard kept the unit from being damaged but the Styrofoam on the old unit seemed like a more secure method of avoiding damage.  

All of that taken into consideration I would give this water jet a five star review. I did receive this unit at no charge to review it.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...

3D Printing—Way, Way Cool

You may not be familiar with the term 3D printing but I bet you remember the replicator from Star Trek. Well kiddies, it is no longer just science fiction. Replication exists! Analog Science Fiction and Fact had a great article in the November 2008 edition called: “The 3D Train Wreck”. Thomas A. Easton, the author gave a great overview of the future of 3D printing. Simplistically, take your 3 dimensional CAD drawing and print it out on a laser printer that will print layers with some type of raw material. Each layer is adhered to the previous layer until you have a full three dimensional finished product. There are a variety of existing technologies that are doing this right now. Rapid-prototyping in industry is the biggest market right at the moment. Consider how incredibly convenient it would be to fabricate or replicate things right at home. My Polaris pool sweep needed a part yesterday. The part is unavailable, without the part the sweep doesn’t work. The alternative was to buy a...
