Enjoy wintry adventures with this Little People Elsa's Ice Palace play set. The discovery button reveals a hidden staircase with lights and sounds, and placing the Elsa figure on a specific spot plays the hit song Let it Go. A tiny version of Olaf is included with this Little People Elsa's Ice Palace play set along with a tiny bed and chair for creative play.

iPad Air features powerful technologies, such as the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine. A 10.5"" Retina display with True Tone.~ Support for Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.~ And at just one pound and 6.1mm thin, carrying all that power is effortless.

Even though I am an android user for everything else, I still use ipads because of the lack of options from google. I also stay from samsung because of the bloatware on all their devices.

Great quality, not a great user interface
on January 25, 2020
Posted by: r8ter
Verified Purchase:Yes
While I found the quality of the video that this camera produces to be fantastic, I was not a fan on the user interface to control all the types of video you can take with the device. For instance it was very easy to accidentally switch between slow and regular speed video.

Funny movie
on January 19, 2020
Posted by: r8ter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a funny movie. If you try and think what your pets do when you are not at home, this movie nails it pretty good. This is also a rare case of the 1st movie not being as good as the 2nd one. When my kid makes me watch it over and over I would rather see the 2nd one.

Good fit and sound, but poor quality hardware
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: r8ter
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned multiple pairs of these, and while the sound is above average, the quality of the hardware is low. The plastics are brittle and break easily. The only reason I keep using them is the fit is the most comfortable I've ever used. I won't buy these without an extended warranty.

as far as as humidifiers go, you'll never find another device quite like this. It seems to do the job, but have yet to decide if it's worth the price.

In a world where Brooklyn teen Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) got that fateful radioactive spider bite-and the mantle of Spider-Man-the use of a particle accelerator by the Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) is causing existence to fissure. As alternate-dimension Spideys like Peter Parker (Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), and Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) pile into his reality, can they help Miles undo the chaos? Oscar-winning animated effort also stars the voices of Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry. 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

I currently have the Nighthawk AC2300. Can this extender be solely used for my SMART HOME devices, such as RING DOORBELL and MOTION LIGHT CAMERAS and etc and does it have it's own unique "PASSWORD"?

yes, you could set this up so that it has it's own unique SSID's and password to only join certain devices

Did you know Philips Hue smart bulbs are only active when the light switch is in the on/up position? If the switch is accidentally turned off or Wi-Fi connection is lost, the Philips Hue smart bulbs no longer operates from any control source (wireless app, remote, or voice). The Aurora ~Always Ready~ Smart Bulbs Dimmer is the first and only solution that ensures your Hue smart bulbsare kept in ~ready mode. Its elegant, intuitive, easy-touch dimming aesthetic allows anyone to control the lights, even if they don~t have the app.
 

Which version of the Hue bridge do I need in order to program Aurora in the Hue app?

Version 2

We bought three of these for behind our large tv. They were installed by best buys geek squad. When put behind the TV first, they made a mistake and they had to get them off and on again. Maybe that's why they keep falling off? How can I fix it?

If geek squad installed I would call them and have it fixed. If they took them off and put them back on again, they will need new 3M adhesive strips.

Enhance your Hue lighting system with this Philips Hue dimmer switch. Removing the control unit from the magnetic base plate lets you use it as a handheld remote, and the on button also adjusts Philips colors and set ambiance levels. Adjust light settings precisely with this wireless Philips Hue dimmer switch.
 

Is it legal to remove original light switch (making HOT/Live wire always on). Put a wall plate and add this Hue switch on?

Code will tell you where you need to put the switches, as long as you don't cover up a switch and not replace it then you should be fine.

hello, my electrician just installed white ambiance lighting and the bridge- it works great, however he is using regular, home depot dimmer, switch, it turns on and off, but the dimmer not working with these lights? Do i need this dimmer?

no, a normal dimmer will actually harm these bulbs and cause them to fail sooner. You need a hue dimmer
