WITTI BEDDI Charge alarm clock with night light and 3 USB ports review

WITTI Designs calls the BEDDI Charge “the most convenient USB Alarm Clock” – and they’re exactly right. This is a simple to use clock that doesn’t have any extra things to make it difficult to use.

What is it?

BEDDI Charge is a USB alarm clock that can charge 3 devices at once and a color changing mood light. Quite simply it’s a solution that I never even thought to look for.

What’s in the box?

  • BEDDI Charge Clock
  • Power adapter with cord
  • Quick Start Guide

Design and features

With a modern design and simple operation, the BEDDI Charge provides a dimmable clock, alarm, and a way to charge 3 USB devices, with a total of 3 amps. That alone makes it well worth the money! The alarm sound wakes you gradually by slowly increasing the alarm from a slow beeping to a more rapid and louder beeping before the designated alarm time.


The mood/night light has three modes. The first mode is warm white 100%, the second is warm white 30%, and the third is a color changing mode that gradually cycles through colors. This is quite handy when you need to get dressed without waking up anyone else.

The operation really could not be much simpler. Hold the alarm button and press the plus or minus buttons to set the alarm time. Use the plus and minus buttons alone to quickly set the time, not that you’ll be doing that much because it has a built-in battery to keep the time during a power outage. No more looking for which button is the alarm button or where it needs to be slid to in order to turn it on.

The snooze/dimmer button works just like any other clock and at it’s dimmest the clock is barely visible through the semi-mirrored front finish. The clock has four levels of brightness.

Switching between 12 hour and 24 hour time is as simple as pressing both the plus and minus buttons at the same time.

Once the time and alarm are set, it’s as simple as press one button for alarm on or off, one button for dimming the display, or one button for the light. No extra fussing around.

What I like

  • Backup Battery
  • 3 USB Ports
  • 16 million color mood/night light

What needs to be improved

  • A volume control for the alarm would be nice, sometimes you just want it to be loud so you don’t oversleep.

Final thoughts

This clock is exactly what I needed. The last thing I want to do before bed is to figure out how my clock works. Now I have another plug opening that I can plug something else into!

Price: $29.99

Vizio’s new P-Series Quantum TV produces the purest blacks and brightest brights

On Tuesday Vizio unveiled their new 2018 flagship TV, the P-Series Quantum. The 65″ P-Series Quantum 4K HDR Smart TV is billed as Vizio’s brightest TV so far, with 2,000 nits of peak brightness.

Quantum Dot technology makes this display capable of producing over one billion colors with “cinematic color intensity”.

Purest black levels

Vizio’s Active Full Array Max backlight with 192 local dimming zones produces pure deep blacks with stunning contrast.

A 240Hz effective refresh rate creates a significantly smoother, consistent and more natural picture.

The display also comes with built-in Google Chromecast, Vizio’s SmartCast OS featuring apps like Netflix, Vudu, and Prime Video and voice control with Amazon Alexa and Google enabled devices.

The updated look of the new P-series features both an immersive bezel-less screen and minimalist polished legs.

I own a 2016 P-series, and it has the best picture quality of any TV I’ve ever owned. With its 2,000 nits of peak brightness, Quantum Dots, and deeper blacks the P-Series Quantum just might be a worthy upgrade.

Vizio’s 2018 P-Series Quantum priced at $2,199 will be available later this summer.

To learn more about Vizio’s 2108 flagship display head over to their website.

Wow, you can buy a 400GB microSD card for less than $180 right now

This is crazy… I can still remember my first PC which was a used IBM model something or other with a whopping… wait for it… 10MB hard drive. Yes, you read that correctly, 10 megabytes. Whoo, I thought I was the ultimate nerd with that kind of storage space. Fast forward about 30 years and now we can buy a SanDisk 400GB (that’s gigabytes) microSD card for $179.99. It’s amazing how we can store so much data on a tiny fingernail-sized flash card.

If you want to upgrade your storage, this 400GB SanDisk Class 10 microSD card should do the trick with up to 100MB/s transfer speeds, you can copy images and video in seconds. Just make sure your device can support this size card before you order one for $179.99 on Amazon.

There are many options in today’s technology-driven world that fill the need for someone to stream live events, whether they are personal or professional events. As I continue to look at what is available, I am finding very capable devices with great specifications and versatility, for relatively reasonable prices.

One such device is the Mevo Plus which is designed to work via an iOS or Android app to live stream using your mobile device. You can stream to Livestream, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter or Periscope. Since it is designed for personal and professional use, it provides for a multi-camera production via the use of a multi-camera style app. You can stream in full 1080P HD resolution and you can record locally in 4K onto an SD Card. The Mevo Plus even has electronic image stabilization and a wireless connection that will remain connected up to 100 feet away from your mobile device. It is just 2.5-inches in height, and its features include an ultra-wide 150-degree lens, a 12Megapixel image sensor, 2×2 MIMO antennas, 802.11ac wifi, 16:9 aspect ratio and a rechargeable battery pack. There is also an optional Mevo Boost accessory that provides additional power with its 12,000mAH batter and Ethernet, USB Type-A, and USB Micro-B connections, and a tripod or light stand mounting option.

The Mevo app allows you to create the effect of up to 9 different camera views or viewing perspectives.
You can purchase the Mevo Plus at Amazon or B&H Photo Video for $499. The Mevo Boost is extra.

Bristl brings light therapy to the electric toothbrush

No matter how well you brush your teeth, brushing alone doesn’t kill all the bacteria in your mouth nor does it completely prevent yellowing of your teeth, especially as you age.  Germs in your mouth can lead to bad breath, gum disease, and cavities.  Yellowing teeth can sap your self-confidence.  There are treatments for both these issues, but wouldn’t it be easier if you could address both issues just by brushing?  The makers of Bristl, a light-therapy electric toothbrush, say that you can.

Bristl is a sonic toothbrush (12,000 rpm in gentle mode, 24,000 rpm in strong mode) with a 2 minute timer to encourage you to brush long enough to be effective.  For extra effectiveness, Bristl adds patent-pending dual light therapy technology that is “clinically proven to kill bacteria, heal gums, and whiten teeth.”

The light therapy component uses red light, blue light, and purple light (red and blue together).  The red light is said to promote collagen secretion to strengthen gums and prevent and treat gingivitis.  Blue light kills germs that cause gum disease and helps whiten teeth.  Purple light combines all these promised benefits.

The planned MSRP is $99.00, but while the Kickstarter campaign is still active, you can receive a Bristl toothbrush, charger, and 2 brush heads for a pledge of $79.00.  Other pledge packages are available.  The funding goal was met within four hours.  The funding period ends Sunday , April 29, 2018, at 1:00 AM EDT.  Delivery is expected in June 2018.  Pledge for your own Bristl toothbrush at Kickstarter.
