Great replacement for my V2

This is a great replacement for A V2. The larger size is well worth it for the sound improvement. Impressed with how well the sphere fits in to any decor and the white stays clean.

Continuous improvement
on April 9, 2022
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve got V2,V3 and now V4. Each one better than the previous. Initially wasn’t sure about the spherical design, but it’s now my favorite. I will say the puck style is my preference if You need to use the buttons. V4 sounds the best even though I don’t use them as speakers but it can pass if required. The improved sound is worth the larger footprint.

Love these large multi outlet power strips for home theater and desk use. The various plug orientations help get different power supplies all plugged in. The USB plugs also help eliminate a power supply or two. Great holiday sale value

Customize the viewing angle of your Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) with this easily adjustable stand. The simple design offers easy installation and removal, and the magnetic connector attaches securely to your smart display. This Amazon black adjustable stand has a wide base that prevents tipping and a tilting design that lets you adjust viewing angles.

Quickly put the second one to use
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Initially didn't think this was 'for me'. Now that I've use it it's grown on me. We have numerous Alex devices in the house and fits right in. Ended up using it for a covid sick family member to communicate while quarantined; we could easily talk as well as 'have meals together'. Also, like being able to view the Wi-Fi camers around the house and see who's at the door.

New Alexa addition
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was not a present I thought about receiving until I got it. We have Alexa throughout the house, and this is a nice addition. It works great with the cameras to see the front & back door or around the house. Great in the kitchen to pull up recipes too. Finding more uses for the touch screen and viewing options.

Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2 rocks a surprisingly big sound anywhere. Heading outside? Hit Outdoor Boost for louder crisper audio autodoors.

Immerse yourself in rich stereo sound with the Xbox One Stereo Headset. Easily adjust audio levels without taking your hands off the controller. You can even control the balance of game sounds and chat audio to focus on what you want to hear.

A Hidden Gem

Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, these are not a high-end fancy headset, but they are great for the price. Purchased them for my daughter who initially didn't want them until she tried them out. The adapter with game/chat volume controls is a bonus. Seem to be comfortable to were for extended periods, sound good and mic neatly tucks away.

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!

Great improvement over TV speakers
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my bedroom TV. The sound is very good for its price point and X-Mas sale price made it irresistible. Easy set up and TV controls volume with HDMI-ARC so no fiddling with additional remote. The hardware package makes wall mounting simple too. The soundbar does very well for what it is, don't compare it to a 5.1+ system or a high-end sound bar because there's a difference in price and sound quality.

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.
