Good choice for older homes

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was the only practical option for a smart upgrade in an older home at this time. When the price of bulbs this black Friday dropped to the same price level of when we were forced off the incandescent bulbs, then it was when I made the choice to "smarten up" my rooms and automate routines.
Easy to set up, convenient when I need to go out of house or arrive home or forget to turn some room off. As easy as triggering app.

I have an old (really old) alarm-clock radio that just up and quit, and finding this on sale was what clinched it for me (given that others were more expensive and didn't recognize voice).
This is a good choice for plug in and voice activation of alarm to wake you up in the morning, ask for the next day's weather forecast, fall asleep to sounds of nature and other functions.
I am going to say this .. a good choice for those who are now struggling with their vision (Voice activation is far more friendly given one has difficulty with small sized controls even seeing them). Also good for other disabilities (physical ones where you have such as arthritis).
Putting this in guest room.

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.

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.
Are batteries included
A small Sticker for your remote, a versaTile by Life360 Mate for keys, and a slender Slim for your wallet. With Tile by Life360 you can carry on with one less thing to worry about. Download the free Tile by Life360 app and start finding. Tile by Life360 requires installation of the Tile by Life360 App on iOS or Android, registration for a Tile by Life360 account and acceptance of Tile by Life360~s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (available at Tile by Life360.com). Payment required to access additional Premium services.
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.

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).

Shine light on walkways, driveways and pathways with a battery-powered Pathlight packed with 80 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 your 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.
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)
