First one was broken and it's noisier
on April 17, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first Tivo Edge we received was dead on arrival. It would not load past the first screen. Best Buy sent us a new one and now it randomly restarts occasionally. You can be watching something and it will go black and restart. It also doesn't appear to have Disney+ or Apple+ on it either. My kids love Disney+ and now I am having to load that on another device.
It is also a bit noisy and can easily be heard while in use or not. This could have been an easy win due to the 4K HDR and upscaling and instead it is limited and has software issues it appears.

Upgraded from Surface Pro 4
on April 3, 2020
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
Finding that it works exactly the same to the point that I cannot even tell a difference. It isn't faster and I am just not that impressed for the cost. The battery life is way better than the 4 and I am liking that. Still, they went with a USB-C port so I am having to buy a new cord for my monitor that worked through the Mini-DisplayPort on the 4. It lacks other ports and still has a super clear but super reflective screen so in low light screen background situations you see yourself. It is good but could have been updated more so you noticed a really improvement in performance or functionality.

Issue with the monitor adapter
on April 3, 2020
Posted by: hootenmba
Verified Purchase:Yes
The monitor was set to a HD 1080P setting and the VGA port won't convert it appropriately. Therefore, the screen stayed black. It should have worked in my opinion.

Really great characters

This was the first movie produced in-house by Marvel and would pave the way for a brilliant series of movies. The Iron Man movie has great characters and a great storyline which leads to a great start for the series.

It works but not 100%
on August 22, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not sure why but the main plug will cause one person's earbuds to drop and the other's to stay working. When it works it is great but it sometimes takes a giggle to get it in the right spot so that the signal comes through both outlets equally.

Had this for a while and it works great

The USB chargers work for my stuff and the plugs rotate which makes it not stick out from the wall so much. The plugs can then go up against the wall. No problems and I would get another one if it broke.

Easily scan paperwork, receipts, business cards, and plastic ID cards directly to your PC or smartphone with this Brother mobile scanner. The embedded battery and microSD port let you use this portable scanner anywhere, while duplex scanning processes both sides of the document at one time. This Brother DS-940DW wireless scanner scans black-and-white and color documents at up to 16 ppm, while its compact size and mobility make it a perfect fit for usage on the road, in the home or small office.
 

How many pages can this scan at once?

One page at a time. The back does pop up but that is where the paper exits the machine. You manually feed each page on the front edge and it will pass it straight through or curve it up if you have the top flipped back up.

Keep electronics functional when you're far from home with this twin-pack of Insignia portable batteries. A Micro-USB connection ensures compatibility with a wide variety of devices, while two USB ports provide charges for two devices at a time. This comes with two 8,000 mAh Built-in Cell Capacity batteries. Performance will vary based on settings and environmental conditions, and will decrease over time and use.
 

Will this work to charge my iPhone 8 in the event my power goes out?

With these two conditions: #1 that it is charged (it comes charged but not 100%) and #2 you need a cable that goes from a USB type-A plug-in to whatever type connection your phone takes.
