This is the third one purchased for bedroom use; two since taken off to college. These work well for the price point and solid performer. Also works well for extension monitor when my college student watch 'lectures' and do more remote learning.

Well worth the purchase

I'm continually impressed with this printer. Does everything well on our home network with 5 people wired/wirelessly connected. Get the HP software for full feature use. I opted for the HP instant ink based on my family's usage. Its worked well with the rollover pages and paying less than I used to for replacing my own ink.

Does an excellent job to carry your basics. The 'tab' to pull up/out your contents is a very nice feature. Very impressed with how well it holds change or a key in such a small package.

No Valve for tire inflation
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works well except there isn't a valve on the end of the inflation hose. The hose screws onto the tire valve stem to open the valve and the air will flow out if the compressor is turned off before the hose is unscrewed. The compressor must be left on while unscrewing the inflation hose.

Very happy with the knives for my daughter at college. They work well provided you take care of them and keep the blade sharp. The blade covers protect the blade and provide safe storage. These are good knives for the money, but don't confuse/compare with premium high end knives.

Want to Love it, but issues
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great concept but it overcooks with the recommended water. Cut the water to less than half to make a GREAT poached egg. Fine for hard boiled, haven't tried soft boiled. Poached egg cups stick without butter. Once the issues were worked through it's a nice appliance. Bought this from experience with family members HB version that worked w/o issue; for $8 I can accommodate. Bella customer service bounced my email inquiry back 'due to high request rate and Covid'. Buy HB brand to work 'out of the box' or this one for $8 w/ noted adjustments.

Great performance and multifunctional
on June 25, 2020
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Makes watching your TV a awesome experience. Clear dialogue and impressive music reproduction; well balanced sound performance. While this works well on it's own the matching sub steps it up to a full movie experience. JBL went over the top with all the additional features: android TV, Google, HDMI switching, voice assist etc. It's not to complicated to use either. It can be a simple 'speaker' with the sound controlled by the TV remove or work similarly to a AV receiver with all its inputs. This is a worthwhile addition to your TV.

Great addition to the JBL Link Bar
on June 25, 2020
Posted by: Tinkerer
Verified Purchase:Yes
This nicely rounds out the Link Bar. The wireless connection is a breeze to set up and hide the sub anywhere. The bass is adjustable with the remote for a subtle enhancement to rock your world. Take time for proper sub placement so it performs well. The sound is impressive filling a large 20x40 room. This unit with the Link Bar made me a believer that a sound bar can do a very satisfying job and is 100% better than TV speakes, BTW this only works with the Link Bar.

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.

Why won't my doorbell camera work with a wired connection. It's connected to the original doorbell wires, But it wouldn't work without batteries in it

The Blink doorbell uses the battery to power the device. The house wiring is only for the house chime, not power.

Ultra portable Bluetooth speaker with a surprisingly bigger 360-degree stereo sound that~s crisp, bassy, and ready to go with 14 hours of boom ~ anywhere you go. WONDERBOOM 3 is your ultimate companion whether you're at the tailgate, a pool party, at home, or even in the shower.
 

Will the wonderboom 2 pair with the first gen?

No, it only pairs with the same generation.
I tried to pair it with my first gen and it won't. The documentation is confusing with some saying yes and others no, but it doesn't pair with first gen.

How long will the charge last

I don't have a definitive answer, but never ran out of charge while grilling, baking or smoking. I start with it charged up.

Does the probe have to be inserted all the way? I already have a MEATER probe, but it is too long for smaller cuts of meat, or even too long to insert in hamburger patty.

The instructions note insertion up to the black end portion. I use an instant read for burgers and small cuts of meat.

Does using a grill lid affect bluetooth range?

It can, depending on the type of lid. I don't have quite the range on my double walled stainless gas grill as on my Weber kettle. I only noticed it when nearing the end of the Bluetooth range and it was only about 10-15 ft. difference.

Vinyl audio has authenticity that digital can~t compete with, but you can~t argue with the convenience of modern wireless speakers either. With the Insignia Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, you can enjoy old school music using the latest technology. The turntable~s manual belt-drive design plays your 33-1/3 and 45 rpm 12-inch records. Its adjustable counterweight and magnet cartridge provide reliable tracking and a rich sound that help you lose yourself in the music. Connect a Bluetooth speaker wirelessly to make your music portable, or plug in your tried-and-true wired speakers with one simple connection. After your record is done playing, the turntable will turn off automatically and the detachable cover shields your turntable when it~s not in use. Music holds a lot of memories, and it can also create new ones. Make them count with this Insignia Bluetooth turntable.
 

I have it all set up however when I play my record its very low barely audible. Does the sound only work with a speaker?

My turntable has quit turning. I tried unpluggoing it and replugging into power like the manual suggested, but it's still not turning.

Check to make sure the belt didn’t come off or break. The platter should not spin too ‘freely’ if the belt is attached. Lift the felt mat and rotate the platter so a viewing window is in the 10-11 o’clock position to see the motor spindle.
