Designed for use with most mice, this Insignia NS-PNP5001 mouse pad supports responsive, accurate navigation on its polyester fabric surface. The nonslip rubber backing helps keep the mouse pad in place.

It certainly is a mouse pad

I'm looking at this mouse pad as I'm typing my review. Probably 7" square, thin, light, and good grip. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't want it to get too cocky.

Essential for Sous Vide
on December 23, 2017

from Houston, Tx
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently bought the Anova Sous Vide cooker and love it. I paired it with the Food Saver vacuum sealer and this roll of vacuum bag material. The Food Saver comes with a few pre-cut bags of different sizes, but it's good to have the roll as a back-up. Really easy to cut, seal, and start cooking.

Almost as good as the first

My wife bought this soundtrack because we were such fans of the first movie and soundtrack. She said she really likes Volume 2, but it's not quite as good as the first. Kind of like the movie; the bar may have been set too high. Still a great soundtrack.

The figures in this Funko Five Nights at Freddy's set measure 6 to 16 inches, making adorably terrifying additions to your shelf or bed.

I will be honest; I don't get the whole Freddy thing. But my kid loves it, and other kids constantly stop her to ask her where she got these plushies.

Must have for sous vide enthusiasts
on December 9, 2017
Posted by: Dubya
from Houston, Tx
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you own a sous vide machine, I can't recommend this enough. I've never tried the water displacement method, so I can't speak to its effectiveness. But this machine makes it easy to make your own vacuum sealed bags to either freeze food or use the sous vide to cook it.

Great hat for camping

I bought one of these for myself for hunting, and my wife wanted to steal it for her Girl Scouts camping trips. So she got her own. She loves the comfort of it and the convenience of the light.

Throw away your grill
on December 9, 2017
Posted by: Dubya
from Houston, Tx
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a good griller. My steaks always came out either raw or overcooked. This thing has made me look like a master chef. Just vacuum seal the food, put it in the sous vide bath for however long it takes, and it's done. The app has tons of recipes that tell you the temperature to use, and how long to cook the meat. But the great thing is, you can't overcook it. The Anova keeps it at that perfect temperature. You'll want to sear the steaks on a hot skillet after they're done with the sous vide, to give the meat that "grilled" look. But otherwise, it's so easy.

Just right

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for early morning hunts where I'm loaded down with gear and don't have a free hand for a flashlight. This beanie will be perfect. It's comfortable, and tight enough to keep your ears warm while staying loose enough that the battery pack doesn't dig into your head. Light is nice and bright.

Beats running a wire across the room!
on November 24, 2017
Posted by: Dubya
from Houston, Tx
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use these around the house to get hard-wire connection without having to run wire through the walls or across the floor. The connection works just as good as if the components were wired. Get excellent upload and download speeds. The only reason it's not a five star is that I haven't had much luck with power line adapters staying connected consistently, and I've had to reboot the system a few times. But so far so good with these 1200's!

This Insignia~ NS-PWS548U 4-outlet power hub features 3 USB ports, so you can easily charge your compatible cell phone, tablet, digital camera or other devices. The power hub plugs into your existing outlet for simple installation.
 

Is this unit suitable for use with IPhone 6?

Yes. And iPad, and battery chargers, Apple watch, electric razor, electric toothbrush, etc. :) I've got all plugged in right now, and it's humming along nicely.

With the appropriate adaptor for each U S-designed plug, can it be plugged into a European-style outlet?

I am going to France next month for a river cruise. The river boat will only have the 220 plugs available in our cabin. Most of my electronic needs already can handle the dual voltage requirement for use in both the US and in Europe. If I put the appropriate plug adaptor onto this outlet's US-style plugs, can I plug it into the hotel's and the boat's 220 outlets so that I can then use my US dual voltage items without their own adaptors?
I don't know if this answer will help you now, since your trip has already passed. But for anyone else facing a similar issue, I wouldn't recommend it. My answer is not based on this particular item, but on a different USB/AC adapter. I was recently in South Africa and tried to plug a block similar to this one into a wall using the appropriate S.A. adapter. Heard a loud pop and then the lights went out. My dad used a regular old power strip in his room and had no issues. Guess you can always take both, and use the power strip as a backup.
