Solved the 2-story heat issue
on June 22, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
This little device really took our Nest thermostat to new levels. Most two story houses have 1 thermostat, and it's usually on the ground level. This linked device helps keep the temp in our upstairs master bedroom comfortable. If you have a Nest thermostat in a 2-story house, this is the way to go.

This console is a win!

Verified Purchase:Yes
We've had Nintendo consoles before and this one is the best. I like the downloadable aspect of the games as opposed to using discs or cartriges. I recommend using a 64 micro SD card so everything fits. The controllers are a little different from what we're used to, but you get used to it pretty quick. The new Zelda and Mario games are excellent and look really good on a 4k tv.

Works well with Google Home

I've used Chromecasts before so this was a no brainer for me to connect to my Sammie 4k tv so our Google Home could display video on the TV. Easy set up and really good looking video for the TV.

Perfect starter drone!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The wife and I have had 'toy' drones before and didn't really like them. They were hard to control. This little guy though. The Mavic Pro makes you feel like you've been flying drones forever. Easy to use and, with the fly more pack, provides plenty of stick time. The video is excellent and the software provided helps you make some really good videos with music! Be sure to register your drone at the government website. It's only 5 bucks. Don't register anywhere else or they will charge you a LOT more. Be sure to get an app that shows where you can fly without getting into trouble as well. The controller even works with my Note 8! So much fun.

I would give this 10 stars if I could!

We have a two story so we've been using other manufacturer 'extenders'. While just OK, they would drop connection or have really weak connections. We began looking for another solution for our home office needs and started exploring "mesh" systems. Needless to say we went with Google. We purchased the 3 pack. Set up was very simple and straight forward. We spent more time switching over our Network devices to connect with the Google WiFi. We now have a strong, secure system that handles our 300+ system and provides internet access throughout our whole house. Great system!

Probably the best robot vacuum out there
on January 31, 2018
Posted by: Pento
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
We've purchased Rumba vacs in the past but thought we'd try a 'Sammie'. Very impressive! While costing more than our Rumbas, it does not disappoint. 2 levels of vacuum power and mapping to make sure it gets the whole area. We use it for our carpeted upstairs area and it does not disappoint. In 'high' it can take up to two recharges (it finds its way back to the charger, then goes back to where it left off) to cover 4 rooms at about 800 square feet. On high it can be loud, but if you set it to go while you are at work, not an issue. We like the phone app which keeps you posted on the vacuum's status while at home or away. It will eat cords and shoe laces so be sure to pick up before you let it run. A luxury item to be sure, but it really frees up your time.

Best smart watch I've owned so far...
on April 10, 2017
Posted by: Pento
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
When paired to my Galaxy s7 this watch: tells time, sends email notifications, counts my steps, counts stairs, tracks calories earned and burned, monitors heart rate, monitors sleep, performs voice searches, let's me respond to emails with voice text. You can get lost in the endless versions of watch faces available....Oh and Fallout fans! There is a pip boy watch face! The watch is a bit pricey, but it does it all for me. People with smaller hands might find it a bit large due to the heart monitor, though it does come with a large and small leather watch band. Set up was straight-forward. It's been a few months since my purchase and I don't regret it at all. The watch also features Samsung Bill pay via NFC. The watch also can be set up to 'lock' each time it's removed.

This device is a great fast charger for our s6 and s7 (and our Note 7 when we had it...man I miss that phone!). I use one at work and it keeps my phone handy and easy to read while charging.

Combine incredible water resistance with a great screen and a powerful processor, and you get the Samsung Galaxy S7. It's built to withstand dunks in water for up to 30 minutes, and then you can wipe it off and get playing with a 5.1-inch touchscreen. The Samsung Galaxy S7 enjoys a quad-core processor for ultra-fast responsiveness.

This phone is great because of the fast wireless charging, micro SD, great OS and great battery life. I miss my Note 7...but I really, really like my S7 (because I sleep better at night while it's charging). Really looking forward to the nougat update which will bring some of the Note 7 OS goodies.
