Setup is really easy for LG PK5 Bluetooth Speaker. It came with USB C connector for charging. After few hours of charging, i have connected my iPhone using Bluetooth option. I was amazed with sound quality and clarity from this speaker. Sound Quality is crisp and clear. Great Work LG!!!
It is a mid-size speaker and handle grip design is really awesome to hold and move. The grip is really well made. This speaker has IPX5 water resistant feature and colorful LED lighting. Each speaker lights up while playing songs and it can be disabled as well.

Meridian Audio technology combines advanced signal processing and hardware design to expand image height and widen the sound field, with custom presets for uncompromising performance. This speaker has high-definition Bluetooth and can stream music in 24-bit quality which is equal to premium HD audio.

Outstanding and Light weight headset !
on September 2, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I connected Jabra Evolve 65 headphone wirelessly to my iPad Air & my android phone and they worked flawlessly. Setup is quick and easy with Bluetooth. It also comes with USB cable, USB adapter, Pouch and Quick start guide. I was streaming audio from Spotify, Plex, and even watched several movies wearing these. Unlike other products this headphones have very balanced sound and very light weight. While the traditional bass is there, it is very obvious they are providing a much cleaner sound now.
I was skeptical to buy these after buying and returning a pair of the high end headphones from other companies. This is best wireless headphone made by Jabra and well worth every dime of the purchase. I have owned wired and wireless headphones previously from multiple companies. Those were replaced by Jabra Evolve 65 as my go-to device for listening music.
The carrying case is great for maximum protection. Battery life is so good and i was able to listen more than 10 hours with single charge. It works really great for voice calls and music. With Bluetooth Class 1.5, I was able to use this close to 30 meters (100 feet) away from a connected device. This headset has passive noise cancellation feature which will eliminate high frequency noise such as human voices.
I really liked the "Busy Light" feature which will turns red to let people know when you are on the phone. It can be turn it on manually as well. While listening music, you can tuck the boom arm away into the headband. NFC worked without any issues. This headset is definitely versatile, offering Bluetooth and wired options. They are easy to use thanks to the quick power-on, power-off, pairing, and the various physical controls.
Overall, I am very happy with these headphones and recommend to anyone.

Decent Gaming Headset with Dolby Atmos
on August 5, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I have been using Plantronics headsets for business for a long time. Plantronics headsets are exceptional with quality and durability. I am surprised to see that they have entered into Gaming headsets as well. The RIG 800HD is a solid model to get into the gaming headsets space. I have used various gaming headsets before and RIG 800HD matched some models and exceeded expectations with some models.
Setup was quick and easy and i was able to connect with my windows 10 PC quickly. The documentation provided in the box was not great and could have better with detailed steps. I have XBOX one and able to redeem the live code provided in the box. There is no special software is needed and it was plug and play. Windows 10 recognized and installed the drivers automatically.
It is very comfortable to wear and has three stage size adjustment. The ear cups are padded well. It is very lightweight headset and only weights about ten ounces. I have used few times more than 4 hours and no issues on comfortability due to adequate ventilation around the ear pads. The swingarm microphone is a plus and automatically mutes when it in full retracted position. It is very cool design. The control buttons are easy to operate without taking the headset.
RIG 800HD produces really great sound with solid bass reproduction. Mids are very clear and excellent experience during gaming, listening music and watching movies. I was able to use this headset in noisy environment and it performed really well. There are 4 onboard equalizer modes. Pure EQ delivers the unchanged audio from PC. Seismic EQ delivers extra bass and really good for games. Intensify EQ for highs and crisp sound. Focus EQ is more for music and movies. Dolby Atmos support is a great addition and i was amazed with sound quality in few games.
Battery life is really good and i have used more than 12 hours and it used only 50%. I have started getting low battery notifications after 20 hours of use. The wireless range is really good and it works without any issues with the range of 25 to 35 feet.
RIG 800HD is a excellent gaming headset from a reputed company who make excellent headsets for business. It is a good start with decent gaming headset and they will improve the quality of the headsets in near future.

All in one Diaper Backpack

Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I always buy electronics, cameras and phones from BestBuy and never thought i will be buying a diaper Backpack from BestBuy. It is good to see that BestBuy is expanding their products in other areas as well.
Modal Diaper Backpack is very stylish and made with quality polyester material. The zippers are really smooth and stitching is really good inside as well. It is bigger than regular diaper bag and it is very comfortable to use. It has lot of space to pack of baby wipes and more options to put phone, keys etc. The changing is not great. It is a really good diaper backpack to organize the diapers, baby wipes, change clothes, bottles, toys and snacks.
There are 3 internal pockets and 2 side zipper pockets. It comes with adjustable shoulder straps and top carrying handles. It built with very good material for durability and rough use.
This is definitely all in one diaper backpack. I would recommend to anyone who are looking for a good diaper backpack with lot of features.

Excellent 360 view outdoor camera!!!

Setup was quick and easy for Guardzilla - 360 Outdoor HD Panoramic Security Camera. I have downloaded the app on my phone after reading the quick instruction guide. I was able to configure and quickly connect to my home network. The firmware was updated automatically to the new version.
I have made changes in settings based on my home setup and it was up and running within 30 mins. The voice feedback is really good feature rather than notifications and flash points. I was able to mount this camera easily with the provided hardware and magnetic attachment for wall / cell mount. The attachment is really strong to hold the camera.
I love the 360 degree view from this camera and able to spin around the whole backyard. There are many notification options available like Push alerts, email, 2 way communication and loud siren.
There are two options for power management. It can be powered with rechargeable internal battery or 10 foot power card. This camera built to withstand extreme cold, heat and moisture conditions
This is excellent outdoor camera and highly recommend to anyone for home security.

Must have one for houses with Carpet!!!

There are many good things about Rug Doctor - FlexClean Upright Deep Cleaner like design, functionality, ease of emptying the waste water tank, filling the solution tank, and ease of mobility. I have mostly carpet and regular vaccum cleaner does the job of monthly cleaning. With kids, carpet gets really dirty with juice stain, oil stain etc. I bought FlexClean Upright Deep Cleaner and so happy with the results. It was a breeze to clean out. There were lot of spots in the carpet and all were disappeared after using this one.
I used to rent rug doctor from local stores to clean the carpet. With Flexclean Upright Deep cleaner, there is no need to rent the heavy ones and it does clean the carpet really well and remain the dirts very effectively.
I highly recommend this machine if you want good clean sanitized floors.

2 out of 5Not worth for the price
By Jacobs
from CA
I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:

+ R8000 has excellent consistent connection as well at full speed by ISP

+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)
+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
Wireless 2.4 Ghz:
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

-R8000 – did not bother to check as soon as I read that it does not support mobile devices using same OpenVPN platform.

+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:
+RT-66R allow you to create a personal cloud with your router with AiCloud application. I am able to enjoy my music and movies over AiCloud on the move.

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?
Yes. It is much better than X6 or X8. I am getting 300+ mbps in all over the places in my house.
