Buy it for the size

If you are looking for a very fast USB3 flash drive, there are faster ones out there. But if you are looking for something that is very small and faster than a typical USB2 flash drive, this is a great choice with a large capacity.

Works great!

With a family of 5, we were looking for an efficient way to fry more food at a time and this larger fryer (at a good deal) works great. The only negative I have is that you can't use the full depth of the oil because the heating element takes up the bottom inch of the oil bucket. But that's probably going to be the case with most fryers.

Wish it wasn't an XBOX Exclusive
on April 7, 2017
Posted by: Darkon
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
I mainly buy games for my PS4, but this game is only available on XBOX (and maybe PC). It's a decent game with some interesting game mechanics, but for me it also became a bit tiresome at some points. That's not necessarily a knock against the game, only that I like games that keep changing things up as you go so they aren't too repetitive.

A lot of portable storage

I bought this for my wife so she could use it to backup her MacBook Air along with backing up the photos from her iPhone since she is always running out of space on her phone due to pictures/videos of the kids. once she figured out how to backup her Mac and iPhone, she's been been very happy with it. While there are some slimmer drives, they won't store as much as this 4TB drive.

Another solid Zelda game
on March 13, 2017
Posted by: Darkon
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
I haven't played through a zelda game in a while, but I'm really enjoying this new game for the Switch. If you bought a Switch, then buying this game is a no-brainer because it is not only a great game, but it is one of the few games actually available at launch. This special edition is a bit on the expensive side, but the special Switch carrying case is well made and a great accessory for a new Switch owner, since it is a portable system.

What can I say, it's more Pokemon for the 3DS. The original release of Ruby was great when it first came out and this is a nice refresh for the 3DS. I also got this at a 50% off sale and am very happy with it.

Safeguard your home or business with this 4-pack of motion-activated NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home VMS3430-100NAS security cameras, which enables you to capture 720p video footage both during the day and at night.
 

Is there an option to plug cameras into an outlet instead of batteries?

Nope. Batteries only. But Arlo recently announced a new AC-powered camera (Arlo Q) that is HD and has audio, which I believe can be used in conjunction with your Arlo wire-free cameras (so all cameras are viewable through the same app.

Control your home lighting automatically with the smart timer on this Philips Hue White starter kit. The user-friendly system lets you turn lights on and off or dim them with an intuitive app for your smartphone or tablet. This Philips Hue White starter kit has space for up to 50 lights and 10 accessories to connect your entire home.
 

Can this system connect to multiple mobile devices?

I previously purchased another system, but it wouldn't work with both mine and my wife's phone, only one or the other. So only one of us could control the lights. We need a system that both of us can access.
I don't see why not. I'm using the iPhone app on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad and my Apple Watch), so I don't see why it wouldn't work with my wife's phone as long as we used the same My Hue account.

Is this compatible with Amazon Echo

Yes, there is some integration with Amazon Echo from what I've been reading, but I haven't set it up myself.

Bridge

Is the bridge that comes with this starter kit the first or second generation?
2nd Generation. You can tell by the picture of the hub...1st Gen hub is round, 2nd gen hub is square.

Can You use the A19 White and color bulbs with this kit?

I want to purchase this kit but switch the bulbs to the color ones is that possible? Thank you
Then you should just buy the A19 Hue color kit, which comes with 3 bulbs plus the newer 2nd Gen Hub. That will be less expensive than buying this kit plus 3 color A19 bulbs (unless you only need 1 or 2 color bulbs). The color bulbs by themselves are pretty expensive.

Use the versatile dimmer switch of this Philips Hue wireless dimming kit as a handheld remote or install it permanently on the wall.
 

Can I use the hue bulbs in an outdoor location such as a porch light?

Maybe if they are in a sealed enclosure that's protected from the elements, but they certainly aren't weatherproof by themselves.

Lightstrip without hub

Can you use the switch to control the Philips light strip without using or buying the hub?
I'm pretty sure you can't because you need the Hub to do anything with the Hue app, including configuring which lights this dimming switch will control. That said, you can probably pick up the first gen Hub for cheap...I already have 3 of them I'm not using from when I bought different lighting kits that came with a hub because the kits were less expensive than buying the lights individually. I also upgraded to the 2nd gen hub for HomeKit support (a waste of money so far because I haven't gotten around to setting up the HomeKit settings).

Philips Friends of hue LivingColors Bloom 259531 Starter Kit: Add splashes of colorful mood and accent lighting to any room with an open power outlet. Control the lights' colors, schedules, dimmers and more from your phone using the included bridge.
 

do these lamps need a wired ethernet connection to work?

The lights themselves just need power, but you do need a wired network connection in your house for the Hue hub to plug into, which is required to control the lights. I believe the lights communicate to the Hue hub via the Zigbee protocol. This starter kit comes with the older version of the Hue hub, which is fine for most people unless you want to use it with Apple's HomeKit functionality.

Do the cameras run all the time or can you set up time parameters and how easy is it to change them

During the week I would like to have the camera show during the day as per sometime and then at night all the time can I make this happen without too much difficulty
You can setup schedules for the motion detection so that it will be enabled only during certain hours for selected cameras. When motion is detected by the camera, it records several seconds of video, uploads it to their server and then sends you notifications so you know there's something to look at.

I haven't played with the scheduling features too much yet, so I'm not sure if you can setup multiple time windows for turning on motion detection during the same day. While you could setup multiple schedules, only one schedule is enabled at a time and you must manually choose which schedule you want to enable.
