Collection Complete

Verified Purchase:Yes
Completed my daughter's album collection for Charlie Puth. Delivery took over 2 weeks longer than initially stated from external vendor, but it came.
Not initially a CP fan but it's growing on me. My daughter and I are spending time listening to vinyl and discussing music on my old stereo equipment.

Very easy work for a professional looking install
on September 12, 2025
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very happy being my first kit to mount a soundbar; made my own mounts for prior soundbars. Fits well with more than adequate adjustments and hardware to accommodate almost any configuration. Went together only needing a screw driver. The finger nuts made it easy to tweak the positions and alignment. I’d buy it again without question.

Great sale value
on April 21, 2025

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall this tv fits my needs pretty perfectly. The resolution and speed is really good for my beginner ps5 and YouTube streaming needs. My only real complaint is that the remote makes a very high-pitched sound whenever you press any of the buttons. It’s not really noticeable unless you hold it near your face and/or the room you’re in is quiet. It also takes aprox. 5 seconds after hitting the power button for the tv logo to pop up on my screen, letting me know it’s on so sometime a I can’t tell if I’ve fully hit the power button. Not any functionality errors; just personal preference!! I would definitely recommend!

GREAT value on sale

This was larger than I initially wanted, yet I am very happy with it for $330. The Ryzen 5 performs well for everything it's asked to do and so far the 8GB of RAM is adequate; I'm not a gamer. The larger screen is very nice as is the full keyboard. I've had 12 HP computers over the years serving me well and this one follows suit.

If your home theater system could use a boost, look no further than the Insignia NS-HTSB22 2.0-Channel Soundbar. This dual-channel system amplifies your TV~s existing audio and boosts your TV or music-listening experience. The soundbar provides multiple hookup options, including HDMI, Digital Optical, 3.5 mm AUX and USB. Or use Bluetooth to wirelessly sync your soundbar to another Bluetooth-enabled device. Three audio modes give you the flexibility to experience the best audio regardless of what you~re listening to. IR remote learning functionality lets you teach your soundbar functions from another remote, such as that from your TV. It~s wall mountable and includes all the hardware necessary, plus both an optical cable and 3.5 mm cable, meaning you can set up this soundbar right out of the box. Don~t put off improving your new home theater system!
 

Why doesn't the soundbar turn off with Pioneer Xumo connected to eARC HDMI? Set up per instruction settings 3 times; doesn't go into standby when TV is turned off (white light stays on. The same sound bar turns off w/ Insignia TV connected in same manor.

Toshiba~s V35 series sets up a stunning, heart-shaking, smart world for your relaxing viewing experience, thanks to the consistent innovation of advanced technologies. True-to-life images jump off the screen with amazing HD resolution, ultimately beauty of details, and original natural color. For a more immersive audio experience, a premium audio post-processing solution brings height to the entertainment experience that elevates surround sound formatting from DTS Virtual:X.
 

Is the power to the USB ports always on? Is there a way to switch the power on/off when the TV is turned on/off? I can't find anything in the settings or set up. I want to turn a LED light strip, used for bias lighting, on/off with TV power.

Get seriously clean floors without the effort thanks to this Roomba robot vacuum. It automatically navigates across your carpet or vinyl while avoiding hazards and keeping track of its location all the while picking up dirt, debris and mess. Automatic recharging keeps this Roomba robot vacuum powered so that it's ready to go.
 

We have carpet through out the house, will the Roomba 890 go from room to room? Also have shag throw rugs on top of carpet, will the 890 get stuck on them?

Ours manages 9 rooms, hallways and entry on the first floor with carpet, tile & throw rugs Granted not all nine rooms are done on a single battery charge - usually 2-3 cleaning cycles to get it all. Depending on how 'light or stiff' the throw rugs are will determine whether they vacuum or wad up/move.

Will this device pick cat litter with no problems ?

Wouldn't see a problem w/ dry cat litter. Ours handles most dry crumb like material without issue, however a friends was a mess when it ran over dog poop.

I have a small house full of furniture with hardwood been looking for one because wife and me don't get around that good we don't have iphones but we have wifi but my son and family livr here and thay do could anybody recommend something

It's a great addition to your vacuum, but won't replace it 100% . Occasionally you'll still need to vacuum. The iRobot will work with out the app by pressing the button on top. Your family could set up the unit for you on their phone/tablet to get it on your Wi-Fi then you could control it with Alexa/Google Home.
