The Philips Norelco Shaver 7600 glides smoothly over your skin, while cutting each hair close - even on 3-day beards. Equipped with SenseIQ technology, the shaver senses, adapts and guides on the correct motion, for better skin protection.

Finally bought another one
on February 6, 2024
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I replaced my 10year old 3000 series with this one and am very happy with it. Didn't realize how 'worn' my old one was and how poor the shave was even after the last blade replacement 2 years ago. The larger shaving pads take some getting used to yet provides a smooth, clean shave. About every third shave the shave improve indicator lights up but I didn't download the app yet to find out what improvements it recommends. The 7000 series was a worthwhile upgrade.

It's just good
on January 16, 2024

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a step up from the original model in looks, feel and sound. It's not really used to listen to music regularly but works as needed and sounds better than the original. The newer spherical models are a further improvement in sound quality. I like the aux./analog 3.5mm output to connect to external amp/speakers or older audio equipment.

Game loud and clear with the Xbox Wireless Headset, surround yourself with spatial sound technologies including Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone:X. Auto-mute and voice isolation reduce background noise for crystal-clear chat. The flexible, lightweight design with an adjustable headband makes for a more comfortable experience during extended play sessions while rotating earcup dials provide a quick, intuitive way to adjust volume and game/chat balance. Fine-tune your headset with the Xbox Accessories app for a customized audio experience. Pair directly to your console with Xbox Wireless radio without the need for dongles, or a base station, and connect to your mobile device with Bluetooth~ for on-the-go music or chat, even pair to your phone and Xbox simultaneously to chat with a friend on your phone while playing on your console.*

Can't beat it for the money. While not a high hour gamer I find the sound, clarity and fit very good. The set-up and ease of use are excellent. I really like the volume control - no fumbling for some small adjustment nob.

This is a standard RCA splitter. I was looking for one with a shielded cable to prevent signal interference. Great value product if you don't need shielding.

Returned and bought a pair

Returned because it wouldn't pair with the 2 previous versions I already have; not clear in online description/help/support prior to purchase. They are good and I like the product, it just didn't work as I hoped.

Bought a third set
on December 17, 2023
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Already purchased two separate ones for my kids and decided to go for a stereo pair. After some playing around got the stereo pair/extension speaker function to work. They only sync with like units and don't work with previous versions - oh well. My daughter absconded with them to pair with her BT turntable at her school apartment and perform well for what they are. They also work well when we use them paired around the camp fire or other places. Good sound for a little package.

Good, but not perfect

works well and good performance. Suction doesn't go across the entire width - no edge cleaning. You really need to go back with the hose and thin attachment. Overall it does well with pet hair/dust and easily comes apart/breaks down to 'vacuum stairs'.

Never struggle to fit an extension cord behind a hard-to-reach appliance or piece of furniture again. The Insignia 18" Low-Profile Extension Cable with a flat plug helps you reach those tight spaces. An 18" cord lets you power appliances such as power tools, electronics and much more, without the hassle of excess cable. A white color camouflages the cord allowing it to match with most modern electronics. The grounded outlet delivers reliable power and keeps your devices safe. Leave the struggles behind and extend the length of your existing power cord.

Good value and solid performance
on December 17, 2023
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was an easy plug and play replacement for a 14yo 10/100 24 port switch. I think the old switch was 'dying' from age and power surges/outages. I replaced the old switch and was back up running in 30 minutes. Don't need the speed since the majority of connected devices are 100MBps, but the connectivity is reliable again.

Should have done this sooner

Very happy with my first MESH router. This replaced a Netgear AC2400 router and 2 NG routers as AP (AC2100 + AC1750). Set up was straight forward without issue. For now, using the second 5GHz backhaul channel for connection to nodes. You can't name the 2.4 & 5GHz networks different names as noted, but it worked out. Devices did shift connections between nodes and seemed to find the best configuration. The system found one of my Echo DOTs as an extender to improve Wi-Fi coverage in fringe area . Issues with previous equipment gone and functioning very well.

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.
