Need ideas for your holiday shopping? Look no further. We’ve got a bunch of great items for you, and we are adding more to our list every day.
Murphy’s Electronics List
In the kitchen:
- Anova Precision Cooker Nano – For the specialty cook who wants to dive into the ‘ sous vide’ craze. Be sure to google ” sous vide” cooking in case you’re not sure about what this does. Basically it is a French cooking technique using bags and boiling water, and this is what measures and tells you when everything is done.
- Instant Pot LUX60V3 V3 6 Qt – Why the 6qt “midline” version ?Although there is an 8qt ” do it all” Instant Pot for $150, this pot will accommodate most cooking situations at nearly half the cost. It’s the most popular selling Instant Pot, and is a great starter pot for the “I.P. Newbie”
Backup to the backup
- AnkerPowerCore 20100 – A lightweight battery backup charger – that can charge your i Phone 7 times and your Samsung Galaxy S8 5 times before needing another charge. When you can’t find an outlet, and your phone battery is dying – or if you need to power an iPad – this backup comes in handy. Light enough to carry or keep in the glove box.
Streaming TV ( ie Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go etc)
- Roku Ultra – It’s a LOT cheaper to upgrade your streaming device than your entire Smart TV. This connects with HDMI cables to the TV and wirelessly to your wi-fi router. Basically any streaming service can be streamed over the Roku.
First SmartSpeaker?
- If you’d rather tiptoe than dive into the smart speaker world – the most cost effective way to do so is with the Echo Dot ( Generation 3) from Amazon ( if you’re an Alexa person), or the Google Home Mini ( if you’re a Google person). Both units have different strengths, and neither delivers pumping stereo sound – but they sound good enough for the speaker size. Most importantly both can integrate with a number of home automation systems, each can access online streaming services and music libraries. Of course you can always choose the large Echo Plus ( around $130) unit and the Google Home fullsize unit (around $100).
Wireless speakers ( Wi-Fi)
- Sonos is the step up in sound of wi-fi networked speakers. The new Sonos One has Alexa integrated into it – and although you cannot ‘connect’ them to your multi room Echo speakers from Amazon, you can tie together as many Sonos speakers as you’d like to play simultaneously through your home. The Sonos One is a great entry speaker – but the Sonos line includes larger speakers, a soundbar, and even a subwoofer for the serious audiophile. To simplify – a pair of Sonos speakers can be setup as stereo and fill the average room with clear audio and surprisingly good bass response for a small speaker. You won’t get the thump of a full range speaker – but it is very good.
Cameras – So here is the simple part of the camera roundup for this year pricey, pricier, and priciest:
- CanonPowerShot SX740 HS – For a better than average point a shoot and dad/mom who want to go the next level above a smartphone( Canon). Pocket sized, easy to use, great resolution.
- Nikon D3500 – For the “entry level” DSLR camera- which is the level above point and shoot that uses interchangeable lenses and is the foray into professional photography, the latest Nikon is capable of stills and 4k video.
- Sony RX100 VA The best point and shoot ?- The Sony RX 100 is now in its sixth generation. It can shoot near broadcast spec video, incredibly detailed stills – and has a multitude of functions that allow you to be ‘fully auto’ or ‘fully in control.’ If someone you know prefers point and shoot, but appreciates a true piece of advanced electronics, this is a super sweet camera in a small package.
For the kids –
After our list was given out on air, we decided to modify our recommendations slightly after a few reviews called to our attention. Both of these are still in the same categories, but slightly different models:
- Hot Wheels Ai Intelligent Race System Starter Kit – Two players, two remote controls, and a race track. Always fun for any kid ( and some adults too for that matter). Listeners rated this as the better race track. (This is not the same as the Hot Wheels Augmoto set, which some listeners indicated wasn’t ready for prime time, especially with the android/iphone apps.)
- Mini Quadcopter Drone, EACHINE E010 – Listeners suggested this entry level drone over the ‘Orb’ we mentioned, mainly because the battery life is much better. This quadcopter can fly up to 30 minutes on one charge, whereas several listeners commented that they could only get the Spinmaster Air Hogs ‘Orb’ to last up to 5. Based on that feedback, might be best to choose playtime length over novelty.
