Hidden Gem, at least to me.

I've been a fan of A7X for quite some time, but wasn't even aware of this early effort until I stumbled across it in the $6 bin. What a pleasant surprise. Would have paid full price if I had know about it, but thrilled to get it so cheaply.

These have been great so far. I use one to keep my phone charging cable from falling behind my nightstand when not in use. This was very easy to apply; just peeled and stuck. I can slide my cable through this clip to extend or retract it if desired, although the fit is kind of snug. I usually just unclip it when charging. I got these to replace the tiny Command clips I was using before. I like these a lot better; it's much easier to get the cable in and out, and it doesn't wear on the coating as much. The only drawback is that these aren't sold in smaller quantities. I really have no use for all nine of them.

Everything I was looking for.

Very compact for a drive of its capacity. Extremely easy to install. I like that the Seagate software is downloaded separately, instead of having a (probably outdated) version already taking up space on the drive. I haven't used their software yet, but I haven't felt the need to. I just plugged it in and it was ready to use within seconds. Unfortunately, my computer is only USB 2.0, so I don't enjoy the speed benefits of the 3.0 drive. Overall, this seems to be a great value for my basic backup needs.

Awesome remote.

I love almost everything about this remote. The setup is so easy. Their online database of compatible products is astounding. I have some really old components, made by some obscure brands, and even those can be found. And unlike traditional universal remotes, there's no need to repeatedly enter codes that might or might not work for each device.
The real beauty of the Harmony line, compared to other universals, is the concept of "activities." For example, when I want to watch TV, I can tell the remote which devices need to be powered on, which input the TV needs to be set to, and since I use a soundbar for my audio, which input that needs to be set to. Then, I can tap one button on the touch screen, and everything starts up just how I need it. If anything ever gets out of sync, it's very easy to repair it using the on-screen help prompts.
I bought this to replace a Harmony 650, and while the Touch doesn't add a whole lot of functionality, there are a few things that I like better. The underside is a rough texture that makes it easier to grip securely. I like that it uses a rechargeable battery, so I don't burn through so many AAs. And the touch screen interface really does make it more efficient to use, especially when scrolling through your favorite channels.
If I had one tiny little criticism, I really wish there were physical buttons for page up and page down, which I use a lot when scrolling the guide on my cable box. Instead, I either have to press and hold the channel up/down buttons (which mess things up if I don't hold quite long enough), or swipe my way to a new screen to use the soft buttons.
But now I'm nitpicking. In the big picture, this is a fantastic product. The convenience it adds to my entertainment experience makes it worth every penny and then some.

Picture is great, but having one issue.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this set for the most part. It's the perfect size for my living room. Lots of inputs to connect all my devices. I haven't watched any true 4k content on it yet, but it upscales my 1080 content very well. Their "sports mode" really does seem to enhance the picture for the football and soccer I've watched so far.
I'm not sure the curvature really makes that much of a difference. It might be a little bit easier to see the far edge of the screen when I'm at an extreme angle (such as washing dishes at the kitchen sink), but when only slightly off-center, I just don't notice much of a difference.
The first set delivered to me stopped working the day I set it up; it suddenly turned off and wouldn't fully power back up. I'm not reducing my rating based on that; every product is going to have a few bad apples, and Best Buy was amazingly helpful about getting a replacement to me without hassle.
Unfortunately, I'm still having a problem with the replacement set. Every so often, I lose both audio and video, but just for a few seconds, and then they resume as normal. It's completely unpredictable; I've seen it happen four times within a minute, but other times I've had it on for several hours without a problem. So far, I've only seen it when watching my Xfinity X1 DVR, never with another device. That would suggest the DVR is at fault, but then again, it's the same box connected to my previous TV, which never had the issue. At this point, I'm still trying to eliminate variables, which is difficult since the problem sometimes takes hours to reappear. In any case, I'm not yet ready to definitively blame the TV for my problem.
One note I'd like to share with potential buyers: if you use a Logitech Harmony remote like I do, make sure you disable the Anynet+ feature (Samsung's implementation of HDMI-CEC), or your Harmony won't be able to switch inputs correctly.

These function just like any other USB chargers. What I like about this twin pack is that it adds some flexibility. When you don't anticipate needing a lot of capacity and want to save some space in your pocket/purse/wherever, you can take one of them. When you have space to spare and might need a lot of charge, you can take both with you.

Yonanas turns frozen fruit and other flavorings into a delicious, healthy soft-serve treat. The Yonanas maker combines frozen bananas and any additional fruit or chocolate and instantly churns the ingredients to produce a treat with the texture of frozen yogurt or soft-serve ice cream, but without the additional fat, sugar, or preservatives. The chute easily accepts berries, sliced mango, or cantaloupe along with frozen banana, and the integrated spinning blade mashes and incorporates the fruit into a silky-smooth confection with the texture of soft-serve ice cream or frozen yogurt. The chute, plunger, and blade are dishwasher safe.

What a great idea. So easy to assemble and use, and the parts are all dishwasher safe, so cleanup is no problem, either. Offers endless possibilities for making healthy frozen desserts. The only small drawback is that it's very loud. Not the most popular appliance for my cats, nor my four-month-old.

It's kind of hard to give a detailed review of AAA batteries. I mean, they really all have the same one feature: they provide power to your gadgets. I haven't been using these long enough to make a fair judgement about their durability, but I certainly haven't encountered any problems so far. My review is based purely on the fact that at the sale price I got these for, they had the lowest per-battery price I've ever found.

I use this primarily in my bathroom, to stream music while I shower and shave, so I don't need to have my phone in the humid conditions. Pairing is quick and easy. The controls are easy to use, and I'm very impressed by the sound quality, given it's small size and low cost. Although I don't use it for long periods at a time, I'm happy that it doesn't need recharging very often. And it's smaller than a coffee mug, so it's incredibly easy to pack for travel.
