Good robot vacuum for dog hair but hidden costs
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: Allen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Used to have a previous model. This gets used to vacuum dog hair on hardwood flooring. It works well if you take the time to limit where it can go so it won't get stuck but the new app is required for it to work. That means you have to link it to your phone. It does not have the ability to clean your selected floorplan without a phone. Definitely would have gotten a device that works by itself without an app collecting data. Pretty expensive device to need a seperate computer to function. Also it now has squeeky wheels/rollers that you need to buy and replace regularly. For the money it should work as designed for years. This is made for you to keep buying parts/filters using your phone and data. Not happy but it does a decent job.

Great vibrational toothbrush
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: Allen
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the second sonicare, previous was a first generation that still works. This one works just as well in a lower profile and more sleek package, the charging cup is cool too. Have never used the app, don't care for data harvesting so limit app use. *Almost returned it after using for two weeks...bumped the sink with the brush head while rinsing and it started vibrating very weakly, as in barely at all. The handle however would buzz really loud and you could feel the energy but it wasn't getting to the brush head. Super annoying and makes the brush a manual tool. Because this happend right after lock down this year decided to try and fix it myself. Was lucky and figured it out. Readjusted the elctro-magnet gap and used loctite blue for the set screws. Now the head vibrates like a nest of angry hornets! Handle is butter smooth and teeth are sparkling every day. Gave lower value and quality ratings due to high cost and poor quality assembly.

Nice easy to set up receiver with good sound
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: Allen
Verified Purchase:Yes
*returned this receiver due to constant thermal cut off listening at 72% volume. Receiver was placed on an open shelf, not inside a cabinet. The sound was amazing and then it would cut off. Being as that's how I prefer to listen to concert music it wasn't a good fit. There was also gross bass distortion while watching movies. If an aircraft of other loud engine sound occured it would cause the subwoofer to squeak (brand new Klipsch 12" sub set to LFE and gain at 35%) Denon rep said turn your sub down however it barely functioned at the low setting of 35%. The problem is in the software inside the Denon. Not worth $700 to be limited to less than 70% volume and no subwoofer bass.

Set the mood in your home via music with these Klipsch speakers. The wood-grain vinyl exterior imparts a touch of sophisticated elegance to a room, while the Tractrix Horn technology provides clear, vibrant and rich musical tones. The titanium tweeter on these Klipsch speakers dampens high-frequencies to facilitate crisp, natural sound.

Excellent bookshelf speakers!
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: Allen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked up these bookshelf speakers as rear channels for a surround system. 8" Klipsch towers up front with the 3.5" center channel and 12" sub. First off, these speakers sound fantastic! Did not realize how much of the sound that was not being reproduced with the old satellite speakers. Clean, crisp, full and rich. Such a pleasure. Make sure your receiver and source audio are of the same caliber to hear music/movies brighter and fuller.

Clean and clear center channel
on August 9, 2020

This is the first of several center channel speakers owned that allows the dialogue to be heard throughout a movie! No more cranking the volume just to hear the conversation. When using the speaker in multi channel stereo it enhances and enriches the sound sphere. Not to mention it looks fantastic.

Good quality satellite speaker stands

These are nice quality heavy duty satellite speaker stands. Unfortunately had to return them since my speakers are small bookshelf (11 lbs) and have no mounting bolt holes. They will work great for satellite speakers.

Excellent tower speakers!
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: Allen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got these during the pandemic promotion sale. Great price and a stellar look when you take the dust covers off. Broke them in below 70% volume for 2 months and then they started waking up at the upper volumes. They produce extremely clean highs with no distortion. Now that the woofers are broken in they reproduce full, rich clean sound. Happy customer and will likely get another set in the premier line.

High quality connection for premium sound. Easy to connect but direction are a little lacking. Realized the proper way to wire them after the first few cables. Better than pinching speaker wires.

I have a Samsung 48" HDTV that is about 2 1/2 years old - Will these speakers play connected to the TV without having to buy additional items? - If something else is required, what do I have to buy?

These speakers are passive (no power/signal supply) and need to be powered with an a/v receiver or separate amplifier. They require additional components to operate. Best Buy has sound bars with or without subwoofers that have built in power supplies which will work with your TV.

Flat screen TV hugs wall. HDMI port is in back of TV. HDMI cable plugged into port on TV would stick out into wall. Can I use this cable to plug into port on back of TV to Roku 4K streaming stick otherwise Roku would not go into port b/c wall in way?

This cable will stick out roughly 1.5” from the TV HDMI port. Also the cable would likely fail over time due to the 90 degree kink to go down to your roku device. Best Buy sells a few different adapters you can use with a standard HDMI cable to accomplish your goal. Here are a couple examples... AudioQuest - 90° Wide HDMI Adapter - Black Model:HDMI90W SKU:9511138 as well as the Rocketfish™ - HDMI Universal Swivel Adapter - Silver Model:RF-G1181 SKU:5760701. Hope this helps!

Arm your windows and doors with extra security with this Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2-pack. The easy-to-install monitors sense when a door or window opens, sending an alert directly to your phone or PC with a compatible app. This Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2 pack works in tandem with Ring Alarm base station (not included) to secure your home.
 

Can this be used on a sliding door?

Yes. You would need to install the sensors on the window frame of both the fixed and moving portion of the sliding door. A pocket door would be difficult but possible.

This 3' Insignia NS-LW16 3.5mm audio cable lets you connect a cell phone, tablet or MP3 player to a stereo system, speaker or computer and features a low-profile design that enables easy connectivity while your device remains in its case.
 

Is this the aux cord you use for the Samsung s8?

The 3.5 mini audio connection will work for audio out on the S8. You need to make sure your speaker or other device you are connecting to has the same 3.5mm audio input jack as well though. Most Bluetooth speakers use this connection as well as headphones.
