Great for keeping directions at eye level

I use this for keeping Waze at eye level while driving. It works quite well except when trying to use a phone with a battery case. The need to take my phone out of the case dropped a star.

I bought two, placed in my ASUS gaming laptop in RAID. Now it is difficult to exercise my patience on any older machines. SSD price drops have gotten to the point that it is silly to bypass this speed and system efficiency.

Alexa, please lower the bedroom light to 20%

Works well with Siri and Alexa. Good for setting a sleep-in alarm that is triggered by light rather than a blaring alarm. Going to fill my house with these and Echos. The future is now, people! Oh, and they're listening to everything you do and say. Have you noticed that whatever you're talking about ends up being the first result in a predictive search when you search on your phone?

Works great when Cox does but

the reason for the purchase ended with a service call ultimately. There was a problem with my line, not a problem with the last modem. Too bad I didn't request the service call in the first place. On the bright side, this device is several years of future proof.

Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.

These devices are life changing. Works great with my Hue bridge. Better interaction than Siri. I want one in each room of my house when they can tell which room I'm in and continue playback as I move throughout the house.

Pretty good with limitations
on February 4, 2017
Posted by: DJinVAB
from Virginia Beach, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 4k screen looks great but between Windows 10 and a multitude of programs that are not well written it does handle scaling well. Text can be tiny. Changing the resolution and scaling works with limits. The desktop icons disappear. They are still listed, just invisible. Only the text is selectable. There are also issues with hinge design and tablet mode.

Charging your Apple Watch is utterly effortless with an Apple solution that combines MagSafe technology with inductive charging. It's a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts. And it's very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment. You simply hold the connector near the back of the watch, where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically.

Extended Cord

The charging contraption that came with the Apple Watch did not include a cord long enough to use with a bedside table adapter. Apple Watch has a wonderful feature that makes it possible to use for great purpose when not wearing.
Highly recommended to enable using Apple Watch when not wearing.

I've been converting from Linksys to Netgear for several years. This is the latest purchase and first for home use. This speedy router was easy to set up and works great! There's a little button on the front to turn the blue lights off. If only the cable modem had the same dimming feature.

Big machine suction power*. But with cord-free versatility. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal cord-free vacuum has a 40% bigger bin than the previous V8 Animal and up to 60 minutes of fade-free runtime. The new torque drive cleaner head removes more dust from carpets, and suck up pet hair and ground in dirt. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal cord-free vacuum quickly transforms to a handheld for quick cleanups, spot cleaning and cleaning difficult places.*Suction tested to ASTM F558 at the flexible inlet.
 

Dyson V10 Soft roller cleaner head? is this the only difference from the absolute and the animal? if so what does it do that that the animal can not

Soft roller head is for hardwood floors. If you have tile or linoleum and carpet but no wood flooring I'd save the $100.

Bluetooth compatibility on this Insignia portable wireless speaker allows sharing and casting to multiple devices, including phones, tablets and even other speakers.
 

Is the battery in the portable model replaceable?

No... There are no obvious methods for replacing the battery. Planned obsolescence. How many times have I replaced the heads in my Betamax VCR? None.

Enhance your computing experience with this SanDisk Ultra 3D solid-state drive. Its nCache 2.0 technology provides enhanced data transfer speeds, and it~s more robust and power-efficient because of its advanced 3D NAND technology. This solid-state drive has a sequential read speed of 560MB/s for faster loading of large applications. You~ll notice that applications load faster and files move quicker~plus you~ll get longer battery life and much cooler, quieter computing.
 

What are the differences between SanDisk SDSSDH3-512G-G25 and SDSSDH3-500G-G25? They cost the same and both are sold at BB. Which one should we buy? One has 12 Gig more - that is all I know.

The Ultras have a different memory type and faster (slightly) overall throughput.

Is it compatible with Laptop HP Pavilion DV4-1424

Yes but there are very inexpensive laptops that will serve you better than upgrading a machine of that advancing age. System Bus speed with DDR4 memory are super quick. Skip the upgrade process if possible with the DV4.

Is this laptop VR ready in terms of graphics and processing speed?

Doubtful. Nice looking screen with limits. This system is noticeably slower than a two year old ASUS ROG laptop with upgraded HDD to SSD. Don't go with this product if that is most important consideration.

Whistling noise

Is it normal for there to be a fairly loud, high pitched whistling sound coming from the back of the washer during the wash and rinse cycle when the water sprays? It happened on the very first use and continues to do so. How that this be fixed?
No, I don't hear any sounds from the machine now that I've installed water hammer arresters. Well, maybe the hum of the spin cycle but not what you're describing.

Can I skip cycles?

I wanted to just rinse and spin rather than go through the entire cycle. How can I skip forward?
You can choose NO SPIN when programming the wash.
