Use once a month while using Self-Clean Cycle
on July 4, 2020
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
I happen to use this with the self-clean cycle in my dishwasher for its monthly maintenance cycle. They do seem to leave the inside of the dishwasher nice and clean, and I also manually clean out the traps/filters as well on a monthly basis. (plus, I do wipe down and scrape all residue off of pots/pans/dishes/etc before putting them in dishwasher, so I don't usually have residue in the filters anyway.)

massager for neck tension
on July 4, 2020
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this when I am sitting down after my PT to release some of the tension from my neck. This is comfortable to wear, I tend to use the hand-holds to hold it close to my neck while in use. I can't really say much about efficacy (since it is my personal experience solely for relaxing tightened muscles/strains), but for my purposes, it does give me some relief.
Got it at the sale price which was why I purchased (don't recommend purchase at full price).

Shine light on stairs, decks and porches with a battery-powered Steplight packed with 35 lumens of brightness. Connect it to the Ring Bridge (sold separately) to unlock smart controls and custom combinations in the Ring App. The Ring Bridge lets you group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. The Ring Bridge also links your Ring Smart Lights to select Alexa-enabled devices, so you can turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice.

Good for Patio Step Lighting
on July 4, 2020
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are good for patio step lighting. Bright, you can see the steps in the dark (and I like it that they have motion sensors too so they are not always on).
The big negative is that they are indeed kind of chunky (thick) so where to mount is a decision to consider. I have mounted them on the support railing for the long stretch of steps downwards (instead of steps themselves) so I can use the steps in a safer manner.
Another big negative is the number of batteries required. But -- I'll also say this -- solar would NOT work at all in this situation (even though the long stretch of outdoor stairs is exposed to the sky and sun). Just that solar panels have very limited lives and are very unreliable (which is why I chose these Battery powered ones)

Keep your clothes and washing machine sparkling with these Affresh tablets. They remove soap residue and mildew odors, so washed clothes smell fresh, and they're specially engineered for use with high-efficiency washers. Drop one of these Affresh tablets in an empty washer for cleaner clothes, and their formula is safe to use with septic systems.

Great for keeping track of everything
on December 28, 2019
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have some jokesters in the family and forgetfuls too, so for my own purposes, this is helpful when they come over to keep track of keys, umbrellas, portable devices. I also use to help me out with my RoboVac which sometimes gets stuck in awkward places when it is running while I am doing other things.
I can hear them even with some hearing loss. I like that it is easy to set up on my smartphone, and with replacement batteries now in the pro and mates, I dont have to toss them out when battery dies.
My one complaint is that they need to engineer all tiles to have replaceable or rechargeable batteries.

Great Addition to my Outdoor Ring Devices
on November 8, 2019
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually only purchased a couple of these to try in the front of my garage (since I am disabled and needed the extra illumination when backing into my garage in the late afternoon now that darkness is so early), and when I am taking out the Trash to my trash bin.
They DO coordinate with your Ring Recordings (It is very easy to set up).
The complaints -- it takes batteries (4 D Cells in fact for each ring pathlight. Plus it requires you to purchase a new HUB to install these Ring pathlights and have them actually work.
All in all, I am thrilled even at a lower setting, the light is very bright at nighttime. IT lets me navigate the concrete in front of the garage easily without endangering myself further. They are also plastic, so I'm not sure how long those stakes will last (since the plastic stakes are similar to what a lot of pathlights use, and they DO crack from age).
I'm going to purchase more for the front garden areas.
Now if Ring could design something that puts out a STRONGER Signal, since I do live rurally and would like to place some of these further from my home to denote the actual "Drive-way" itself (it's long, since I live rurally).

The whisper-quiet 39dBA Samsung dishwasher with linear wash technology has a one-of-its-kind sliding spray bar that moves in linear motion to provide corner-to-corner coverage for complete cleaning. Whisper-quiet wash cycles allow you to run the dishwasher any time of the day. The AutoRelease door opens automatically to circulate air and help improve drying performance.

Quiet, efficient, 3rd tray for itensils
on September 12, 2019
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Granted, this is definitely on the higher side of cost, but I have to note I am enjoying this new dishwasher tremendously during canning season (especially the Sani Cycle).
It is important to read owner manual to understand the settings and how to easily set up on your wifi network too. I was able to set that up so quickly and it was efficiently added to my smartthings notifications.
All in all .. good drainage, I still have cooking/kitchen items with dimples that will keep water despite it all (it is what it is .. especially when you do pre prep and freeze meals in advance). Otherwise things come out very clean.
I must mention how QUIET this dishwasher is too. Just a bonus here with the time countdown easily viewable on device as well.

Great help in kitchen

Chose this since I was juicing fresh fruits for making jellies recently. Securely airs on countertop, the lid and container was excellent to containing the juice that comes from processing. Mouth for feed is of decent size. Juicer works fast.
I ended up using a dish brush to gently clean out the filter basket after processing. Easy to clean otherwise.

Here's my point,
Although the idea is sound (I'd like to have this work as a solar charger for the Ring Video Camera devices,
The fact is .. this is not a perfect fit for mounting the Ring Securely.
(yes, I followed the instructions, tightened the screws of the Ring and it wasn't secure).
I'll continue to charge the devices per Ring Instructions instead.

With five adjustable fan speeds, ultra-quiet operation, and remote control through the MyMiko app, you can personalize your environment with ease. The built-in aromatherapy tray lets you add essential oils for a soothing touch, while safety features like tip-over shutoff and filter change alerts ensure peace of mind. Whether you're at home or away, the Ibuki 2.0 gives you smart, efficient, and stylish air purification.
 

Are the filters washable

Although I looked it up (and it is said it can be lightly washed/vacuumed off, you can shake out the filter too), I wouldn't recommend actually washing the filter given what I saw of the construction. Sure it is sturdy enough, but looking at the inside of the filter, I'd say it is far better to vacuum/shake out the surface and replace every so often than to warp the filter by deeper washing and potentially ruining the hepa component (or unit itself).

Can the ionizer be turned on and off so that particular feature is just on when people aren't at home? Can this be done both on the unit itself and remotely via the app?

YES! I have actually done this via the app (while I was at Physical Therapy), and had it run when I was out of the house. I was able to successfully turn it on, set the fan speed and time limits.

(I haven't done it at the unit ltself -- but you can turn on the unit before you leave without using the app and set the fan speed too. It's just easier for me to use remote app control).

How much are the filter replacements and where would I buy them from?

It uses the MAF-01 Filter for the Ibuki (and by using that filter model number, you can ask for it as Best Buy or look it up on Amazon or other websites to see if they have that filter for sale.
The prices vary depending on seller. I'd make sure to check the site reviews on each seller to see what works out best.

Easily adhere the Sticker to remotes, bikes, and headphones ~ no additional accessories required. Find what you've Tiled by ringing the device or viewing its last location on your phone. Or, set up your Tile to work as an SOS button, and discreetly send an alert to your Life360 Circle in unsafe situations.
 

Can it track people?

Short answer .. sort of.
I do put these in specific items or bags to be able to know where things are. (Even put in purse, wallet, or into inside of backpack so you can find where to start. Also can put in fold of jacket and sew shut)
This wont be good to stick on a person and its not going to help when your perosn is separated from your bag or device. Its also got lag and may not be able to update locations easily on big cities either.

Samsung~s 25 cu. ft. large capacity 4-Door French Door refrigerator is beautifully designed, with SpaceMax~ Technology, EZ-Open Handle~ and a fingerprint resistant finish that withstands everyday smudges.
 

Can you lock the smart divider in the flex drawer?

Not really. Although you can adjust it quite easily (for example, I have moved the divider to form 4 sections - one for wines, one for bottled water, one for sodas, and a fourth for such as the protein drinks (or anything else - like cheeses). IT is the way I stack/locate the items in the drawer that keeps the divider in place.

if I left my keys at the mall and got home like 60 miles away would the tile locator work?

Not quite sure how to answer this, since I just checked on my tractor which is in for maintenance and could see where it is (tractor repair) but it also notes out of range.
Best way to answer this is that if you have tile premium, and set up tile to give you notifications when you start getting out of range, you have time to get back there and retrieve your missing item. (Less than 60 miles for sure).
So check your settings, call where you think they are and check lost and found there.

Archive large amounts of data on disc with this Asus ZenDrive external DVD writer. It provides easy backup management because it comes with software applications Nero BackItUp for Android and CyberLink Power2Go for PC. This ultra-slim Asus ZenDrive external DVD writer includes two 4.7GB M-DISCs to provide robust data storage.
 

Is this Asus zen drive 8x external usb double layer dvd=r/cd-rw drive compatable with HP ENVY - 17m-ce0013dx Serial number: Product number: 8CG92403X8 5UB13UA#ABA

Bottom line, it has a USB connection built in and yes, it can be used with any Windows Device (and even the Mac Devices nowadays too).
I'll caution you here about leaving any serial numbers anywhere -- just tell us it's an HP computer, with what ports available built in. (I used this device to read some of my old DVDs that I backed up my photos on to download them onto my newest backup hard drive).

How far can the pathlight be from the ring bridge to work?

I have the bridge about mid-house, it's wireless. Now with that said, I know from my rural home, I can't really extend these too far from the house (about 10-20 feet or so), and also it is extended from edge to edge of the front of the house for lighting of patio and garage areas. I wasn't able to get them to work much further than that (and given I do live rurally, my DRIVE is a lot longer than what is shown in Ring's promotional photos)
