Works so good I got 2

Bought this soundbar for my TV in the living room and I liked it so much I got one for my TV in the bedroom. 3.1 sound really works well for making dialogue more distinctive. Easy to set up and adjust sound. Bluetooth pairs seamlessly. It even distinguishes the soundbar in the living room from the soundbar in the bedroom on my phone. Bluetooth has great range. Very happy with the purchase.

Works great, easy to use
on April 27, 2019
Posted by: mrkato
from Windsor
We have used this on a few areas in our home and it has worked great. Recently our dog was having some health issues which caused her to make some messes in the house. We had to use this on a number of spots on our carpet and it worked great. Make sure you follow the directions for pre-treating the spot and then cleaning. Assembly was easy and straightforward. Unit is very easy to carry around. Cleanup is easy and when you look at what is in the wastewater tank you will be surprised. We had some spots on out master bedroom carpet that were cleaned by a professional and he told us that they would not come out. We used this cleaner on them and they are gone, and they have been in the carpet for several years. I am sold on this unit. The only drawback, and this could be user error is that it seems to leave a fair amount of moisture in the carpet when done so we had to employ a fan to quickly dry the spots we cleaned.

Great earbuds
on January 25, 2019
Posted by: mrkato
from madison, wi
These earbuds offer many options for obtaining the proper fit. They come with ear clips, different sized in ear wings and 4 sizes of tips. I experimented with all of them and found the best fit for me. (I am using the ear clips and large tips) I have been using these primarily for working out on both the treadmill and weights and have had no problems with them falling out. They have great sound, very crisp and clear and solid bass that is not muddy or overbearing. They claim on the box that they offer "6" star service and they don't lie. I had a problem putting on one of the earclips and broke it. I contacted V-Moda service via email and received an almost immediate response. I explained the problem and they sent me out new earclips and I had them the next day.Vanessa in customer service was outstanding and answered my inquiries almost immediately. After receiving the new earclips I realized that I probably broke the earclip because I did not install it correctly. I have not had an opportunity to use them for phone calls. The 3 button control works well and they paired easily with my phone and computer. They only negative I can find is that there is no battery level indicator to tell you what level your battery is at. There may be a low battery signal but I did not see anything in the manual about it. Overall very satisfied and would recommend these as a step up from basic earbuds

Excellent vacuum
on November 12, 2018
Posted by: mrkato
from madison, wi
This works very good. Have tried all attachments and they work well. Seems a little heavier than my old Dyson but does a great job. We have 2 large dogs in the house and this keeps their hair at bay. Assembly was easy. Tangle free brush roll works great, where has this design been all these years? LED headlights are great for seeing what you are cleaning. Does a great job cleaning stairs in the lift away mode. All in all a great machine as long as it holds up like our old Dyson did.

Lots of nice features
on October 14, 2018
Posted by: mrkato
from madison, wi
This is a great vacuum. A lot of my comparisons will be based against our Dyson that served us faithfully for the last 10 years. I will list pros and cons below.
Pros:
The headlights on both the main unit and the wand make the whole process much better. They are great for seeing things on the floor that you miss without them.
As you can see from the attached photo the amount of hair and dirt in the bag is what I got out of the Shark immediately after I had vacuumed the same area with our Dyson. I was quite amazed at the amount of hair etc. the Dyson had missed.
The Zero M process, however it works is great. I have vacuumed our whole house twice and there is virtually no hair buildup on the brush roller.
It does almost seem to be almost self-propelled when vacuuming on carpet.
We used the appliance tool to clean under our refrigerator and stove and I was quite embarrassed at how much was under them.
The powered liftaway feature is great for doing things like stairs and along walls and ceilings.
The powered pet hair tool works great and when you attach it to the wand it automatically turns on the headlight on the handle which is very handy.
It is much quieter than our old Dyson as well.
The onboard tool storage is very nice and easy to use.
The shape of the brush head makes it easier to get close to walls and under things compared to our Dyson. Works very well for edge cleaning.
Very easy to assemble and was using it 5 minutes after it came out of the box.
Cons:
The dust cup seems to be smaller than our Dyson was and is not as easy to empty
It seems to be a little heavier to move around.
Steering it does take a little getting used to. The more I use it the easier it is getting to be.
The cord guide that you put the cord in on the side does not hold the cord very well.

Good gaming laptop
on August 28, 2018
Posted by: mrkato
from madison, wi
I have received both the 8GB ram and the 16GB ram models. My review below is on the 8GB the only difference I can find in the 16GB is that the graphics for whatever reason are even better even though the graphics card is supposed to be the same. The lack of an SSD does slow down the boot time but overall a top notch gaming rig for a decent price.
Pros
Graphics are very crisp and lifelike. No lag or blur in any games
Very fast for any game you throw at it.
Sound for computer speakers is very good.
Plug ins along back are nice, less cluttered.
Boots up quite fast
Keyboard has good feel. Keys are easy to access and well spaced.
Battery life if not gaming seems to be good.
Backlit keyboard is nice.
Cons
With monitor hooked to HDMI port there is a slight lag in graphics
Does run quite hot, pretty common for gaming laptops.
Battery life only runs 30-45 minutes before warning about low charge when gaming.
Backlit keyboard is nice but it needs to have a longer delay before shutting off.
Although it’s not used very often the number pad is not in the best location
Overall a very good entry level gaming computer except for the few cons listed. I would recommend a cooling pad to keep the heat down and always keep the power adapter handy to re-juice the battery

Nice inexpensive headphones
on July 26, 2018
Posted by: mrkato
from madison, wi
These are nice and lightweight, have good sound and are fairly easy to use. Not a high end headphone, but they shouldn't be for $20.00 Easy to pair, sound for this price point I think is very good. Not much noise isolation but they are on the ear phones with no ear cups. I use them primarily for watching online video on my computer when I don't want to bother my significant other. Only negative is that the single button on the side for all functions takes a bit of getting used to.Overall for the money not a bad investment. I received this product at no charge in exchange for an honest unbiased review.

Another Great Chromebook
on July 2, 2018
Posted by: mrkato
from madison, wi
I have been a Chromebook user since shortly after they came out. I have an Acer 11" and an Acer 13" that i use on a daily basis. My Chromebooks are my go to daily computers. This new Acer 15.6" Chromebook is amazing. It boots up almost immediately after opening the cover. So far I have gotten about 11 hours of battery life out of it. The touchscreen is very responsive. The display is crystal clear ( it does have a little glare in the sun) Speakers are nice that they are top mounted and have good sound for a computer. Using it in tablet mode is simple. The auto rotate feature is very fast, again the touchscreen is very responsive.I do like that now I can download android apps.from the play store. This processor is much faster than my older Chromebooks. I have had multiple apps open at once and it does not seem to slow it down at all. The only drawback is that it is a little heavy but that is to be expected from a 15.6" laptop. It does not weigh any more than my HP 15.6" laptop. The top is a very nice aluminum and feels nice and makes it less slippery when carrying. It has USB C charging which is a plus. I have received this product at no charge in exchange for an honest unbiased review.

Took about 45 minutes to set up. Once I got 1st disc set up remainder went smooth. I didn't realize how many devices I really had in the house until I downloaded the app. Fun to check when the family comes over and I see I have about 30 devices on my network. Coverage is much better, I have solid wi-fi all the way to my property lines. I have full advertised speed in all corners of the house. Nice to see the price has dropped a little. Highly recommended
