Great thermometer, but expensive
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great wireless thermometer, dropped a star due to price, it's expensive. Really like the wireless feature. Make sure it is fully inserted, all the metal covered, or the readings bounce around. Struggled with this since full insertion put the tip past the thickest part of the meat. Presuming it takes an average of the total surface on the thermometer.

Enjoy music in an exciting way with this portable Sony Bluetooth speaker. The wireless feature offers hands-free usage and the EXTRA BASS gives sound a boost due to the passive radiator, which enhances low-end tones. This Sony Bluetooth speaker is waterproof and dustproof, allowing you to take it to the pool or the beach.

Impressive small speaker
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Impressive for its small size. This is a great small spaeaker to take outside for hiking or just hanging out. Takes almost nothing to carry around. Sound is clear and acceptable bass for its size. It won't shake the walls, but it's much better than your phone's speakers for $35.

Had one when I was a kid and got another. Great way to quickly pop some corn. I'm partial to the home made popping corn a friend makes that just puts it over the top.

Very nice TV with Fire TV Bonus
on November 24, 2020
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my third 43" Insignia TV and first Fire TV Edition. Always been an external streaming hardware guy and am very impressed with the build in Fire TV. This is an excellent TV value with a good picture you will not be disappointed with. TV tuner is pretty decent for pulling in local broadcast channels; get a good antenna and face it towards the broadcast tower.

First, I've always had good luck with Wahl products and this one is no different. Bought it as a gift for my son-in-law who uses it regularly to trim and shave his beard; he got from full beard to stubble to clean shaven more often than most. Works like a champ and he's exceptionally happy with it.

Made up for missing at the theater

Great movie and very well done. I can understand why all the awards/nominations. I'm going to watch it again just to go back and catch anything missed the first time through. If you don't buy it just rent it so you can see how truly good it is.

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.
