Great deal on sale. Appears to work well and have been using it for the past few years. Not sure how much better it is than vinegar.

Good, clean trim cuts
on August 31, 2024
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Trims well. I don't get the best/easiest trim with the 'comb' covers, maybe it's me and I need some practice with my technique. It takes numerous passes over my eyebrows to trim all the hairs. All the other attachments work very well and cut cleanly. The storage bag while a nice feature, it's a bit small and a tight fit for all the parts.

Love the compact size and minimal protrusion while still easy to install/remove. Using it as local storage for my Blink sync module and cameras. Stored media seems to record well and easily removed when cleaning out storage space. Stays cool while in 14/7 use. Great deal @$25.

Wife is happy wedding VHS transferred to digital

Fairly easy way to transfer old VHS tape to digital. You forget there isn't a highspeed transfer from VHS; transfer is at 'play' speed. Works as it should.

Should have bought it sooner
on June 10, 2024
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great companion to the Blink doorbell and sync module I also bought. It would work great on its own too. Great value and performance compared to the others on the market. Set up is quick and easy and has many fine tuning features in the app to fine tune it your needs. It was up and running in 15 minutes including reading the instructions and getting a few hand tools. Works well in the Alexa ecosystem.

Awesome product at a great price
on June 10, 2024
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great addition to the smart home. Fast and easy set up with the Sync module and doorbell. The angle mount was included with this package as a nice Surprise. Sadly, my original Nutone doorbell system voltage wasn't compatible, but used a few of my Echo's to alert/chime instead. Fine tuning the proper field of vision and alert sensitivity. Added a USB micro drive for storage once the free online coverage expires so I don't have a monthly fee. I found this to be the best value and performance product balance for me. No short comings so far.

Good replacement for an old HDX7
on June 10, 2024
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sale price made it easy to step up from the HD7. This replaced my old HDX7 that didn't run newer apps. Primarily used for smart home apps, but a few of those older apps aren't available on the HD8. Works well and user interface is smooth and effortless. The larger screen is not as easy to use one handed as I did with the HDX7. My initial concern with the lower screen resolution isn't as noticeable as I thought.

Update and upgrade for an old guy

Verified Purchase:Yes
Notable step up from my tired series three. I really like the customizable faces to work better with my lifestyle. Health monitors are much better than my previous version. Stepping up to the 45mm screen improves viewability for my old eyes. I'm glad my kids convinced me to upgrade my old model.

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.
