I bought a second unit, the first was so good.

Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the ability to test one of these from a program with best buy, and I liked it so much I bought a second unit. This headset is considered the entry level, but it seems to run pretty good to me, and does everything I would expect from a Vr headset. Going it's fairly easy setup, and goong through the tutorials help understand the controls, then it's off to the races. I figured out how to share apps for the family and have my wife on one machine, and myself on the other and now we can play the same game at the same time. I miss the days of if you buy a game and load it on whatever computer you are on, you can play it. With the onlone and account system, several companies make it so difficult that you end up buying 2 copies of the game so each person can play. I'm glad that this sysemt worked as it should. The graphics are immersive and i hoghly reccomend this.

Excellent tv

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my second sony x90l unit i purchased. The first was a 65 inch for myself and this 55" for my mother in law (she has a smaller tv stand) and i must say, price, value, features. This has it all. Sure it's not the next up mini led version, but it's the top of the line full array local dimming. It may not be the brightest on the market at this price, nor the most dimming panels, but the software and processing on this is fantastic. The contrast is really good, a tiny bit of bloom on some screens, but better than a previous tv I had from another brand that on paper should have beat this. The colors are great. The android based os is much smother than 2 other brands i've worked with, but i do find myself sometimes using a streaming stick with this, but that's just sometimes my preference for i like the layout on the stick. This has all the same apps. My 65 inch also came with 5 free digital movies from sony bravia. I have look. I have not registered this tv yet, ran out of time, but i think this will also. Overall, great tv. Choice, and nearing e d of model year, look for the price to drop a d snag it.

I have bought several of these to upgrade my other roku remotes because the backlight is easy to see in the dark. The 3 remotes I upgraded were in bedrooms where generally lights are off in the evenings. This works great, easy set up, and easy to see. Worked right away with all my units (2 roku os tv's and one 4k stick.). I'm happy with my purchase.

Good addition to the amazon speakers.
on June 26, 2024
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have purchased 10 recently in all of the colors ( 2 green 2 purple, 4 white, 2 grey of these units for use around my house. I got most of them when they were on an incredible sale around the holidays, and 2 later after deciding the guest bathroom and basment bathrooms needed one. I already had one device for about a year and liked it a lot, and have 2 other echo product in my house (one in every room). They work really well together and the app is easy to use to create listening groups. The sound on these is very respectable with good crisp sound and music sounds good. I have several streaming services linked and all works well with my amazon account. I also have a eero mesh system and these work to blend in and expand the 5ghz side of the network. That is what tilted my decision to get more of these. I have an excellent wifi network, but this gets the 5ghz band better coverage outside of my house now also since I have more of these on the edges of my house. I can get better coverage in my garage and on the back porch and in my shed also. Compared to other speakers of this size with the same features (smart or not smart, amazon or not amazon) value and function wise, these are on par with competators. I reccomend these.

Nice covers

Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife has a kindle for many years, and her last paperwhite is starting to have issues with battery life and responseivness. I purchased a new one and got this cover because the old unit had a cover similar to this, and the same brand. So far this fits well just like the last cover and works as expected. Stays clasped magnetically and the screen comes on and turns off as it should. I felt compelled to review this one because it's the first one I bought that had artwork on it rather than just a solid color or a non descript pattern (like flowers or checkers). It's colorful and a piece of art that my wife an I both like, and now it's with us all the time and can travel with us. Makes it easy to see on a counter top, an eye catcher. The feel and build is good, and again a cover brand that I'm familiar with, so it should hold up with time. The last kindle is at least 4 years old. I do reccomend thus product.

Good alarm clock radio

Verified Purchase:Yes
I Purchased this to replace a 15 year old clock that gained time by a minute or two a month. It had larger green numbers like this and had a dim feature that my wife liked at night. This clock is keeping time well now for the time i've had it now, and the screen dims at night, but us still fairly bright. I do not mind, but my wife is more sensative and so i did add a small piece of tint ot the screen for her. That being said, it's no fault of the clock, so I deducted no stars. Radio works fine, the buzzer gently gets louder to wake you up. Setting it was easy and has battery back up, so if the power goes out, no issues when it restarts. 2 alarms are useful, i have a work day and non work day set up. The price and utility if this are spot on, good value and functions like it should. I reccomend this.

Be aware of danger with this Onelink smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. Wi-Fi connectivity makes sure all the alarms go off no matter where the problem is, and notifications are sent to your smartphone via the compatible app when there's trouble. Manage repairs and emergencies quickly using the precision voice alerts and dual protection included in this Onelink smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm.

3 out of 5Could be nice if it worked as advertised
By averagetechguy
from concerned one
This smoke and carbon monoxide detector lists a ton of features that look good on paper, but so far, I am underwhelmed. The user’s manual is less than helpful. For set up, it takes you through 7 steps to mount it, and the last step is to lock the unit on to the base which is how it turns on. For me, my plan was to set it up, link to the Wi-Fi, test it, then hang it. It makes more sense that way because you do have to hold and press the test button on it for a cycle. Their way would have me standing on a ladder doing the testing. Not optimal. I locked the base sitting safely in my recliner, much easier.
Now let’s get to the app set up. I am an android user, and my wife has apple products, so I was lucky to have hers available. The owner's manual states start the app and follow the instructions. The Android app started ok, I made an account, but then had no further instructions. On the apple store, it worked immediately asking about linking a device (smoke detector etc...) to the network, and I followed through everything, that went well. It does send notifications to my apple devices when I tested it a second time in the evening, not to the android device I have hooked up, but that’s likely because I have the notifications locked down. The alarm is loud and clear, hopefully it works if I need it.
Now this battery powered detector came with information stating it can be linked to Siri or Alexa, and the app has spots to link Pandora, Spotify, iheart radio and tune in radio, but all I get is the error “add a one link safe &sound”. It says that you do not appear to have any Onelink Safe and Sound Devices. I disagree. I am thinking there is just a flaw in their network since this is a newer product and hope they get this fixed, or it may be slow to get my account all lined up. I have e-mailed the company to ask if there is something else I need to do.
Finally, a pro of this so far is that it is portable. I am moving soon, and will be able to take this with me easily, but if I got the hardwired one, I’d have to do more than just take it down from the nails. With that being said, a negative is it uses a proprietary battery pack. It says it will last 5 years. We will see about that. Right now, I do not see any of them for sale on their website or anywhere. I’m just hopeful it’s because the product is newer and they just haven’t gotten them out their yet. If they don’t get the separate battery replacement, and force a person to buy a whole new unit every 5 years, I will not be replacing every 5 years. I admit I got this as a tester, and I would not have bought it for myself at full price. Honestly right now at this stage, I don’t see why anyone else should either. It has minimal advantages over a basic 30 dollar batter and smoke and CO2 detectors that I have now. I don’t see why anyone else should either.

thanks for checking

I'm glad the company monitors their reviews. I did reach out to them. They state this model is not comparable with amazon Alexa, though it comes with separate slip telling you how to allegedly set it up with Alexa. They must have a use the same instructions for all models. It would have been a nice feature, a bonus I was not expecting, but it is not. I still have confidence this smoke detector will work, I have used first alert products for years, and was happy to try this one, and do have confidence it will work if needed, though I hope it never does have to used.

Even if this is ordered online, contact customer service and return it. I live 80 miles from the nearest best buy, I've either shipped things back or in this case as I have done for service calls on past tv's, worth the drive to exchange.

I received this Chromebook from best buy tech insider network at no cost to provide my unbiased opinion on it. This is my first chrome os system that I have owned, and really had a chance to really use. I have owned android phones since my second smartphone (my first was a windows phone) and so the transition to this system was not difficult, because setting and menus and such are laid out very similar. The unit I have has the latest generation i7 processor with 256gb sad, and it is lighting fast in start up. Faster than my surface 3 laptop. the 3:2 format screen is bright and touch is good. overall build in this is very good, solid feel and good touch/grip metal. It is slim and light. It has to usb c type ports, hdmi input, regular usb and micro SD slots, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The colors and resolution do justice to games and work that I do on it I have experience with google docs, but you can also easily add Microsoft office if you wish, Which I may do later, I've not decided yet. very intuitive flow for finding programs and files, the GUI is easily labeled. I like the wide taller screen when I'm doing work, I can stack the window easier and I can view more with this computer. sharing the Google play store with my phone's is nice, I have many things that I can carry over that I have already purchased over the years. I also have my music library carried over and the sound on this unit is very good for it being so slim and trim, has dts abilities. My antivirus program of choice also works well. Duo video chat works well also with my other android phones. I do other video conference program for work from home and I will definitely use this when I work at home or on the road. presentations will also go nicely with this having a nice big screen, but can be tucked away on a podium not blocking me. The taller screen will definitely help me to keep a person viewable on video while accessing other information I need. Battery life is very good, I've used it for 3.5 hours off and on without plugging it in today and it's not even to 50%, so I'm guessing the 10 hour battery life is a good estimate by the company. I am seriously impressed with this computer and for being a dos/windows user almost exclusively for years, I am very pleasantly surprised how easy it is to transition to this and how affordable this is, and it should be taken very seriously for a primary use computer. If the OS is generally as stable as my Android phones google puts out, this is going to serve me well for years.

I like the wide taller screen when I'm doing work, I can stack the window easier and I can view more with this computer. sharing the Google play store with my phone's is nice, I have many things that I can carry over that I have already purchased over the years. I also have my music library carried over and the sound on this unit is very good for it being so slim and trim, has dts abilities. My antivirus program of choice also works well. Duo video chat works well also with my other android phones. I do other video conference program for work from home and I will definitely use this when I work at home or on the road. presentations will also go nicely with this having a nice big screen, but can be tucked away on a podium not blocking me. The taller screen will definitely help me to keep a person viewable on video while accessing other information I need. Battery life is very good, I've used it for 3.5 hours off and on without plugging it in today and it's not even to 50%, so I'm guessing the 10 hour battery life is a good estimate by the company. I am seriously impressed with this computer and for being a dos/windows user almost exclusively for years, I am very pleasantly surprised how easy it is to transition to this and how affordable this is, and it should be taken very seriously for a primary use computer. If the OS is generally as stable as my Android phones google puts out, this is going to serve me well for years.

stylus
June 6, 2021
I wish I could help you answer the stylus question definitively but I do not have one to test this with at the moment, I don't use the. much at all. Acer appears to have responded to a question below saying it does not support a usi stylus, so like you I would find it odd if they took that feature away from last year to this year, but hopefully they upgraded something else to make this just as good.

Amazing. Beyond amazing. The sound is spectacular. It doesn't support 33 1/3, but honestly i don't care. You can't notice on most of my vinyls. My home is 3129 sq ft and you can hear it throughout the house. Trust me once you have it set up. Love at first site.

2 out of 5Good sound, lousy technology/outdated
By WHinCT
Purchased with Flash Sale pricing. The sound is pretty good, built sturdy and overall unique design.
BUT - the app is weak at best, you must turn on the speaker every time, and then pair with your iPhone - the mobile app only turns the speaker off. The app is the worst part - you can't pair 2 units to create stereo like Bose or UE Megaboom, the music interface assumes only songs - so other than setting the EQ and lighting, I use it for streaming SiriusXM or Amazon Music and the playlists on my phone.
I'll keep it for the sound and lighting for the pool in the summertime, otherwise I'd return it.
Shame - good concept but based on outdated technology. Doubt the app will be updated to be like Bose - a serious miss to that for $400 you can't create true stereo like my Bose Revolve units and that app turns the speakers ON.
The LG sponsored You Tube video is misleading - you cannot pair 2 units into stereo as the person claims.

Twin mode
March 16, 2022
In the manual and on many reviews there is a "twin mode". There is a button you can push to set a speaker as main or other, and they will pair and sync.

By averagetechguy
This is my 4th laser mapping robot vacuum i have purchased over the last 3 years. I use them once to twice weekly. I have found that laser guided ones like this are the way to go. I had one I owned briefly that I got for my basement that was a "bump and go" style (no laser mapping) and it was horrible, was not able to get half the floor done before re-docking because it spun in circles so much and ran the battery dead. It was returned. One of my 4 laser robots just didn't last. It was an off brand one that mapped and vacuumed superbly, but then the water tank started to leak bad and sidebrush died. What drew me to shark was it is similar to my current main one on my first floor. It mops and vacuums at the same time. My current basement unit (much like the one that died) I can only mop or vacuum. The water and dirt tanks interchange location. This one is unique to me because the water bin attaches to the back of dustbin. My other main unit has internal dustbin and water separate. That being said. This dustbin is comparable in size, the water bin maybe holds about the same amount also. My upstairs area I vacuum routinely is about 900 square feet, and this burned through about 60% battery life on vacuuming alone, 70 to 80% combined vacuumed mopping. I have about 100 square feet less if I mop due to a rug. Set up for this was easy. Download the shark app, login to your shark account (I have other products) or create an account, and follow instructions for wifi setup. All that went really well.
My learning curve was a bit off when I did the water tank. I did not realize it initially went over the dust bin. I found out looking at a book online, it was not clear in paper book provided, and after digging in application, I found they have instructions under the tiny i icon in the upper right corner undet fluid reservoir guide. I do find this frustrating it was not up front in print, but many apps are getting this way, burrying things in layers rather than more laid out at one time like reading a book page. You can't hide anything there. And can flip ahead and back easily. I guess I'm just old preferring a solid manual I can read ahead before using that us linear, not layered. That being said the app works well, it paired nicely, and you can change water and suction settings quickly, pause and find the robot ect… from it. The mapping was on par with all my other robots, layout map is just like my house. Thay being said, It did not show me tracking of what was done and what wasn't, so when I was out of the house I knew where it was so I didn't throw a door into it, or walk across a still wet floor coming in.
As for performance, vacuuming on regular setting did fair (combo of vinyl planking and carper), but it missed some stuff. I did not use the max setting yet, it likely would have done a bit better, but battery it may not have made my house in one time. I did mop and used eco setting on the vacuum. I had just vacuumed earlier in the day and that got the last of the other crumbs. I'm not sure if I left my 4 bedrooms on the first floor open this would make it on one charge. I estimate 1200 square feet are the limits to this one one charge, give or take what suction and water setting you use. Vacuuming, it seems powerful and got most things, some awkward bigger things it left, but second time it got. Mopping it got light dust footprints gone, but left a few spots of toothpaste that my boys got on the floor of their bathroom vinyl planking.
Overall, I'm not going to detract any points for not having tracking lines on progress as all my others have had with laser guided tracking. The performance and value are on par with other models like this. It is definitely a bit better than the one in my basement, but my main floor one's app and mapping and tracking are better, but performance and battery about the same. I would reccomend this item to others.

Update
January 12, 2023
Now that had this for several months, I would lower the score down to 4 or even 3. The last 3 time's I've had issues. First was ran out of water mopping, no warning it was gone, so nit sure what areas it missed, but it was bone dry, second to last time it's battery died with no warning, and I had mopping on medium vacuum medium, last time same thing. The difference on my first review Ii ran vacuum first on medium and it made my floor, mopped with low vacuum setting separately, did ok. The problem is it doesn't go home when battery is low like my other ones, it just dies. And then it doesn't have a progress map, where my other does, and when it does die it can go back and resume with a resume feature. This does not have it. It does a good job, possibly better than my other unit mopping, but cannot do my whole house like the others. Realistically I would lower to a 3 because I'm finding not having a saved progress to resume is a star off, second star is battery life.

We purchased 2 of these for our kids for Christmas. It took forever to get them to connect just to update them. Forever to connect them to the Switch. And now the mic won’t even work for them in game. We tried everything. We are pretty tech savy people but we just cannot get these to work properly. Really wish they didn’t throw away the boxes so we could return them.

Yeah, these only work for sound on switches, it's an issue with the switch, not the mic or headphones, no brand does, 30 or 300 dollars. The switch isn't set up for wireless voice. If you purchase a 3rd party bluetooth to use, it will work for voice, but it's a pain to use for my kids.

I got this keyboard for my current at home office set up. With changes that were made during the pandemic I started working from home more and found myself at times using 2 to computers simultaneously for work. I have been making 2 keyboards and 2 mice work forever and then I saw this item and thought "Why didn't I look for something like this before?". I paired this with another logitech mouse that I have that does the same. This saves a lot of hassle and clears the desktop a bit. The thin design and full size keyboard are easy to use, but one thing I didn't notice until I got it home was they crammed the 4 arrows below the right side enter key. Being right handed I hit the space bar more with my right hand and they made the space bar shorter to accommodate, so my fingers have to relearn the layout a smidge from the home line. It's like my laptop's keyboard, so I have some muscle memory for it, and I fall I line in a short while. I like the thin design, stylish, but doesn't effect function, the angle it sets at is good. The typing is quiet and responsive. The built in device tray is ok, but I have a large Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra with a case on it and it just barely fits there. That's OK, because I don't need my phone like that in front of me, but I have tested it. That slot will likely be my pen slot, which will work good. I'm prone to lose them if I don't have a designated spot, and that is front and center handy. The dongle also worked well, no issues when I tried it. I use windows based systems for work, but I do have a chromebook I could try this with, and an iPad, and I'm sure it would work well with them also, I just havn't tried because I have this on what I'm going to use it for. This appears in the ballpark cost wise with comparable keyboards, and I chose this because logitech has been my standard mouse/keyboard supplier since the 90's. So I do reccomend this. I give it 5 stars, because like I noted above, the only fault is retraining my fingers to fall right with the moved arrow keys vs full standard keyboard.

This should be 5 stars as I mentioned at the bottom of my original review, but it appears I must have accidentally toggled back to 3 stars. I will reach out and see if it can be changed. I like the keyboard and it does what it says.
