I would not have any way to do my financial reports without having the Microsoft 365 and I will renew it every year. Can't work without it.

Nice vacuum just short on a couple of things
on July 11, 2023
Posted by: Augie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall a good vacuum. The couple of things that were not quite up to par were the cord and how it hangs and that there is not an extension wand with it and not one available for this model and I have 18 foot ceilings in my house and even though the canister comes off, I would have liked to have had more reach.

Good investment in protection
on July 11, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
Always use OtterBox to protect my IPad and they have not let me down yet. My only issue was that there were no instructions in the box to show how to take it apart to put the IPad into it. Had to go online to make sure I did not break it.

This is a replacement for a mini since it finally got too old. Like the bigger screen for these older eyes of mine. I'm sure when this one gets too old, I will replace it with another.

We use this one in the master bath and it's great to just lay in the tub and tell Alexa to play music or turn on the bathroom fan if it gets too warm. Just love it

Amazon Smart Thermostat is ENERGY STAR certified. Easily switch your traditional thermostat and help reduce energy usage. For on-the-go comfort, let Alexa set the temperature, or set it yourself from anywhere with the Alexa app. Amazon Smart Thermostat is compatible with most 24V HVAC systems (like conventional force air, heat pump, radiant boilers, etc). It does not work with 110-240V HVAC systems (like electric baseboard heat). Smart Thermostats require a C-wire (most homes have one) or a C-wire adapter kit (sold separately). Guided installation instructions are included in the Alexa app, and will walk you through checking for a C-wire or options for powering your thermostat.

Accessory Stand only - does not include Echo Show 5 (3rd gen). Easily tilt your Echo Show 5 forward or backward to improve your viewing angle. Charge your smartphone, earbuds, and more using the accessible 7.5 W USB-C charging port.
 

Is this just the stand ? Or monitor is included

Can I adjust the thermostat remotely via my iPhone Alexa app as long as I have internet access?

Yes you can just go onto the Alexa app and go to devices and find thermostat and you have full control from your phone

LifeProof FR~ Series for Apple iPhone . Surf trips with the crew, ski getaways with the family, trail runs with yourself ~ FR~ is engineered for adventure wherever you travel. Covered on all sides, it wades into the elements with absolute certainty ~ and survives hard falls along the way. Plus, its ultra-slim fit creates confidence without throwing off your phone~s sleek design.
 

I bought a waterproof case for my iPhone SE on amazon and it muffles the sound so much, no one can understand me when I talk. Does this case block the microphone and muffle/distort the sound?

Another option if you do not want to move up to a 12 is what my wife did with her XR, she purchased Pro ear buds and just used them to talk

Do you need or should you use a screen protector with this case?

All LifeProof cases have a screen protector on them all ready since this is what makes them waterproof so no you do not need a separate one.
