Great Large Screen & Novelty Motion Functionality
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This device looks great sitting on the counter and is big enough to view time, weather etc... from across the room. I do really love the device, but the motion functionality is a bit of a novelty. The reality is, it's hard to place the device in a spot where it can significantly rotate, because at the end of the day it still has to be plugged in and the power cord would be odd running across a counter to the center. It is nice, but just not as practical a you may think. After following you, I also wish it more quickly returned to its center position.

Great for TV Watching Ambiance!
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
These light bars look great beside a TV; they add a lot to the ambiance of a room, especially paired up with the Hue Sync Box. I've never had issues with Philips smart home products and while expensive, they just work, which is worth a lot to me.

Electrifying action thriller starring Keanu Reeves as Los Angeles SWAT team officer Jack Traven, who must rescue the passengers on a bus booby-trapped by deranged bomb expert Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper). Payne's rigged the vehicle to explode if it drops under 50 mph, so now it's up to Traven and courageous commuter Annie (Sandra Bullock)-who's forced to hop behind the wheel-to save the day. With Jeff Daniels, Joe Morton, and an amazing array of wild stunts. 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great Apple TV but Not Worth Upgrading
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Apple TV is great in its own right, but if you are thinking about upgrading from a previous model, it's honestly not worth the upgrade. The remote is the biggest change; outside of the dedicated power button, I actually like the old touch remote better. It was easier to use with a larger touch surface.

Best Mesh WiFi Solution with Dedicated Backhaul
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an excellent product from Netgear. In my research it seemed to stand out from the crowd with it's dedicated backhaul channel to provide very efficient data transfer between nodes.
Additionally it was a nice surprise that I could bypass my provider's modem and use the router unit to handle everything with its PPOE feature.
I needed a system with a very fast transfer rate to stream 4K video files from a NAS; this system handled the biggest files no problem.

Great After Inital Issues Repaired
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This laptop has a lot going for it, but Lenovo really needs to address two somewhat fatal flaws. While the smooth palm rest feels nice, there is really no indention to help feel the edge of the touchpad or fingerprint reader. You get used to it, but they sacrificed an essential function for style, which seems too much.
Additionally this laptop has a know wifi issue for units produced before April 7, 2021. Interference from the case causes poor reception, which Lenovo has confirmed on their community forums. It's poor that they are not proactively fixing this issue; I am hours into their customer support for this issue to have a tech come out and repair a brand new laptop.
Outside of these things, the laptop is great, notably the battery life! It's a bummer these few issues to essential components bring it down a notch in my book.

Works Well with PS5 Except for Button Programming
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this mouse to use with a Playstation 5; it was immediately recognized when the USB receiver was plugged in. The mouse works great and does much better than the Logitech mouse I was previously using on all kinds of surfaces. Unfortunately there is really no way to my knowledge to program the additional buttons without additional hardware solutions for consoles in general. The weights are a nice touch to customize the feel of the mouse. Overall great product!

Solidly Built Speaker that Sound Great!
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great little portable speaker that sounds really great and packs a lot more punch than I would have thought. The build quality feels very solid and the rubberized ends seem like they will protect the speaker if it takes a tumble. The only thing I'd love to see is built in voice assistant.

Horrible Support + Bait & Switch Tactics
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: APorter
Verified Purchase:Yes
Buyer beware! While this set works fairly well, Arlo is totally taking advantage of people, and swindling them into a perpetual monthly subscription. Unknowingly to the user, when you purchase these cameras Arlo enrolls you in a 90 day trial. There are very basic features of the cameras like viewing short recorded clips tied to this trial. While that was free functionality with all previous Arlo products, it is not anymore. Arlo does have a small mention of this on the box, but they go out of their way to hide this with the auto-enrollment in a free trial within their software. It’s no fun to own a product for 90 days (conveniently past the return window) to realize that the product you bought is basically bricked and useless without perpetually paying Arlo money. Shame on you for this tactic Arlo and not being transparent with users; never again!!!

Last year's model of this washing machine (GFW850SPNRS) works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT & Sonos according to the GE product page. This year's model (PFW950SPTDS) only says works with Amazon Alexa. Is future support for the others planned?
