Very good camera

Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing picks up everything! Including some rather humorous deliberate facial expressions from our son, when he was visiting. The clarity of the images is incredible. We let our subscription expire, but find our needs met with a flash drive attached. We weren't even shopping for this, but it came with our external camera bundle, so even better.

Very good, but overly sensitive to movement
on August 20, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Works very well and images are extremely clear. We have adjusted sensitivity, but it still produces multiple alerts on windy days, when the leaves are moving in the trees. That's the only reason for losing one star. Other than that, we are pleased. Night vision is stellar.

Picture looks great

Posted by: ruralakay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my son for Christmas, so it hasn't been unboxed yet, but we looked at one in the store, a few years ago, and the picture quality really impressed us for a TV in this price range. We ended up going with another Samsung, but we also paid the much higher price to own a Samsung. Honestly, I love my Samsung, but I'd have been just as happy to own this one and have saved the money.

Definitely an upgrade over the mini
on November 13, 2021
Posted by: ruralakay
Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing is awesome! I have used a single cup mini for years, and this is definitely an upgrade. I keep forgetting it has a reservoir for water, so I keep bringing a mug of water to it, unnecessarily. I'll get used to it. I've tried both the regular brew setting and the latte setting. Both work great and are very easy. I prefer just a regular brew, so the frother may not get used that often, but if you are in the mood for a latte, it is great. One thing I learned is that you probably want to stop pouring your milk a little shy of the max fill line. It did such a good job of frothing that, as it heated and frothed, the milk started coming over the lid and running down the sides. Other than that mishap, everything is great.

Good, if you are not a heavy user
on August 18, 2021
Posted by: ruralakay
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is very compact, which is nice. We don't do a lot of printing, but on the occasion we do need one, this will work. It is very slow to print, but like I said, if you don't have reams to print, that shouldn't matter much. It won't hold very many sheets of paper in the tray. That's kind of annoying, because you have to keep refilling it, but again, this is only if you have a lot to print, in which case, this printer would NOT be recommended for you. It works for what we need it for. That's all that matters, but if you need more than a light, occasional printer, try something else. I haven't tried the scanner function yet.

So far, so good
on August 18, 2021
Posted by: ruralakay
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an amazingly fast gaming computer. I can't believe how fast it boots up or wakes up from idle mode. I am not a gamer, but I do a decent amount of video editing and wanted something that wasn't going to slow to a crawl for quite some time. I did knock off one star because of how noisy the fans are. Sometimes, it sounds like a plane trying to take off, even when it is idle and no one is using it. I've gotten used to it, but dang, it is loud. Overall, happy with purchase.

Ultra is great improvement over overheating Stick
on August 18, 2021
Posted by: ruralakay
Verified Purchase:Yes
We purchased this as a replacement for our Roku stick, which had begun glitching out, probably due to overheating so close to the back of our TV. So far, the Ultra is working great and there's enough distance from the Ultra to our TV that we don't fear more overheating problems. Definitely an improvement over the Stick and I like how, if you've already created a Roku account, it automatically imports all your saved channels to the new device. Just wish it imported them in the order I originally had them. I had to spend a lot of time moving them around.

I'm using this right now

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this so that I could have a comfortable workspace for my lap, when my company ordered us to work from home in March, at the beginning of this COVID stuff. It is now August....still working from home, and I have used the lap desk every weekday since its purchase. It has met all my needs. The only reason I knocked a star off is because I do wish the pillowy parts were filled a little more fully. Other than that, it has worked great, and there is plenty of room on the mousepad area for both my wireless mouse and my external hard drive.

I also like that you can activate it and talk through it on your phone. I like to wait till my husband comes home for lunch, activate the camera, then say something like, "Hey! What are you doing!" It scares the bejeezus out of him! Try it! You'll get a lot of laughs out of it!!
